1241  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Defi protocol free from the government on: May 26, 2023, 06:24:50 AM
Let's talk about decentralized finance DeFi, is there any way possible that the government can regulate DeFi protocol? I see that it's easier to go after Centralised exchanges than decentralized projects, do you think there is a way to make defi projects betray decentralization because of the wrath of the government? Drop your thoughts.

The word defi is known as decentralized finance for a reason, everything surrounding it is meant to be decentralized from the teams, the communities, and the protocols level and that is why most often than not, the teams that operate and found decentralized finance systems are usually anonymous to protect the community, the protocol and the people who used the protocol because ones they are been compromised by the government individuals, it is no longer decentralized.

However, there is a concern about being anonymous in the crypto ecosystem, teams and individuals use the anonymous privilege to run to swindle people, manipulate protocol with an exit door, rug pull, and also insider stealings. The government is very concerned about this repeated stealing of people's money that is bringing down families because they are trying to make a living through crypto, that is why you see many are calling for crypto(altcoins) regulations.

Hey guys. I’m just want to hear something encouring and confirm my assumptions. 🙏 I want to be someday (i hope that it will be possible in next bullrun) independent of money from my family. I’m since 2010 on wheelchair because of failed surgery and interrupted my spinal cord. I have multiple health problems, mainly resulting from paralysis.  I have little chance of having a high paying job due to my health problems and unfortunately incomplete education. But my expenses are too high. I am able to invest 20-30 euros per month and I really want to believe that one day thanks to this regular investment I won't have to ask my family for help. I’m 14 months in world of Bitcoin! I’m excited and my hope in BTC is probably actually bigger than the fact that one day I will walk again  Grin
HODL and believe with me, please!  Smiley

Sorry for my english, it is not my native language, but tried my best  Smiley

Edited 20.5. 2023: If there is a chance that someone want to help me with maybe 2 euros, I added my BTC adress to my profile. I know this has nothing to do with independence so I will respect if you want to delete it.
All good to you. Anyway thanks for your answers and for the encouraging words to this moment.   Smiley

I hope the moderators don't flag your thread for forum Violation because of begging, no emotional damage intended but just saying that a rule is a rule and it has to be followed, that being said! Sorry about your disability, life isn't fair to all, and there are ways in which everyone has one or two difficulties they face, I hope you recover very soon and get back stronger, 2010 till date is really a big time, only those who have face challenges you have overcome understand how you feel.

You are still early my friend, but I wish you were earlier exposed to bitcoin when it was more cheaper than this, not saying it is not going to grow but he chances of you making something big in bitcoin now depends on the amount you invest and from your statement, I doubt if you are that financially buoyant to acquire a large quantity of bitcoin, whichever your intention is getting bitcoin, I wish you good luck.

Brighton pulled off a strong match against Manchester City and not just that alone, they had most of their recent matches against the top 4 and guess what, they only conceded to Newcastle, they beat City, Arsenal, and Manchester United to secure a place in the Europa Conference League, they did what other teams couldn't do to Manchester City by breaking their long winning streak that thinks they are demi-gods in Premier League, they deserve what they achieved this season.

I hope they performed very well, they should use this same energy and break the record in other domestic leagues by next season, they would even have a guaranteed place in the Europa League if they win the conference league by next season as a double win.

I agree with you that Brighton has played an excellent season, but you are saying that Brighton beat Manchester City. When did that happen? It is true that they beat their long winning streak, but Brighton played against a Manchester City that has won the title already. I think that that Manchester City is quite a bit different from a Manchester City that still needs to win in order to win the title.

Regarding Manchester City thinking they are semi-gods or what you called it, my idea is that they are at the top because they do not think they are semi-gods,  but instead are very grounded and hard working. What game are you referring to when you say that Brighton beat Manchester City?

Is comprehension a problem here? Did Brighton lose their match against Manchester City? When a match ends as a draw is always checked marked as green and not lost I believe because of the 1 point, I don't think your question was necessary in the first place or needed validation. Everyone knows they already did lift the trophy but you think they let Brighton draw because of that, perhaps you should rewatch the highlight with all the pressure Man City amount on Brighton.

If Brighton played an offensive match against Manchester City and qualify for the Europa Conference League with just a single point, will you call that a loss as well? Manchester City is good but the fact they draw Brighton and allow them to qualify for one of the European league is a well deserve celebration.

A friend of mine once told me that I can become very by investing in bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
According to him,he said some crypto analyst and experts have long predicted that bitcoin has the largest transfer of wealth and affluent
The world has ever seen and that most of them that are investing in it will be the ones to be rewarded.
I'm certainly not convinced about this information that he gave to me...I want better ideas and  enlightenment on why I should buy bitcoin.I need help please!


Freedom! It's freedom, my friend. The way Bitcoin gives freedom, there is no way you want to use Fiat and have the kind of freedom that Bitcoins have, you have freedom against censorship, you have the freedom to privacy, you have the freedom to choose to let the world know if you have money or not, you have the freedom to spend any amount you like any limit, you have the freedom to hide from the public of your transactions, these are the few freedom you have if you use choose to buy bitcoin. There is nothing like freedom, there are vast advantages of using Bitcoin, so sit with your friend and teach him the ways of Bitcoin like a baby and I'm very sure that out of the many advantages of Bitcoin, there is one that will definitely convince him to buy Bitcoin.

At least the LaLiga football Association have done Justice to this and the whole world has come together to support Vinicius in this difficult time. And since the incident, Valencia have been ordered to close a Stand of Stadium and have been ordered to pay close to $50,000 in fines. Also the red card Vinicius received has also been overturned. I think this isn’t enough. The LaLiga chairman has to do enough to reduce this Racial chants in football stadiums. Honestly the best way to tackle the matter is with sanctions and drastic measures, even thought it requires changing the racism protocol.

I concur with your points, the bully against Vinicius was obvious for years, I can count many times some Ref remain neutral with the behaviors of other players against Vinicius, and all of a sudden the Laliga decide to act fast because the whole was watching their unfair treatment against Racism, who knows what who will be the next black player that would be treated unfairly next time with this their inhuman treatments.

I have seen a petition around social media where people suggest that frontline fans that stand in stadiums should be banned too, most often than not, those guys constitute a nuisance in most of the problems we have in stadiums today, either they jump into the field on regular time or they boo players they don't like. The FIFA federation needs to place rules where necessary for these fans and a total ban on racism, we will enjoy football after these things have been put in place.

I'm not sure but I think if Macnshter City wins the game in the final match against Inter Milan they should be thankful to their coach, Guardiola. Because before Guardiola gets didn't have a performance like this to beat strong teams like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid with good results.
However, I think the odds for Inter Milan are high enough and tempting for most people to bet on Inter Milan instead of Macnshter City which can be a risky bet.
Pep Guardiola is an experienced coach and has brought several big clubs to the top of glory. Pep Guardiola has even presented 14 trophies for Barcelona (2 Champions League trophies) and 7 trophies for Bayern. In the English league, Pep Guardiola has also made Manchester City have many trophies in the local league. it's just that for the UCL trophy it wasn't until last season. Maybe this season is an opportunity for Pep Guardiola to present the UCL trophy for Manchester City for the first time. And I'm really looking forward to it.

When the team you hate is about to make something big, there is this denial stage people tend to have towards them and that is exactly what some fans are having towards Manchester City. I dislike them for being in that place but the fact cannot be hidden that they remain the best squad in the Champions League, by performance, Inter doesn't come close, by winning streak, and consistency, Inter doesn't come close, by experience Inter doesn't come close, by possession Inter doesn't come close, then tell me why everyone thinks Inter have some magic on their sleeves to beat Manchester City, we should make predictions base on facts and not emotions.

Shocking to see Brighton have a spectacular season, winning both average and elite clubs in league games, they're on different level. This season, the Seagulls delivered an amazing performance, making it one of the most memorable seasons for both fans and players. For the first time in their history, Brighton qualified for the European League competition. Roberto De Zerbi had a successful year. He's the mastermind behind Brighton's spectacular triumphs; they've done exceptionally well this season, suffering from the start of the league and now qualifying for Europa league.
it cannot be denied that Brighton's performance this season has been extraordinary, and their success in getting tickets to the Europa League is the result of their good performance and consistency this season.

the draw against Man City was pretty good for Brighton, I don't think Man City, who has confirmed himself as a champion, is actually playing full with his best strength, but even so, Brighton has been able to keep up with the Premier League champions' game this season and getting 1 point isn't a bad thing.

Brighton pulled off a strong match against Manchester City and not just that alone, they had most of their recent matches against the top 4 and guess what, they only conceded to Newcastle, they beat City, Arsenal, and Manchester United to secure a place in the Europa Conference League, they did what other teams couldn't do to Manchester City by breaking their long winning streak that thinks they are demi-gods in Premier League, they deserve what they achieved this season.

I hope they performed very well, they should use this same energy and break the record in other domestic leagues by next season, they would even have a guaranteed place in the Europa League if they win the conference league by next season as a double win.

The effects of gambling on player are dependent on how the player manage his gambling activity.  Gambling is not a bad thing if viewed as a form of entertainment and the person is in control of himself.  Though I disagree with @OP that gambling is not a business, I would say in a player's part that gambling shouldn't be viewed as a source of income that can replace our job.  Gambling result is always random and we might experience a green streak today but there is no guarantee that it will continue to be green streak tomorrow.  Those who are caught in the thought of gambling is a good source of income often ends up with nothing in hand.

It may seem simple to say that gambling is entertaining, but I believe that addressing gambling addiction goes beyond mere entertainment. Money has a profound effect on one's mentality, and it has the power to alter one's thinking in many ways. One key factor in controlling gambling addiction from its root is addressing the issue of greed. The love of money is inherent in many individuals, and when money enters the equation, it can rapidly change a person's mindset.

As gambler, if one can manage to control the greed within themselves, gambling can be approached as a source of fun and entertainment. However, once greed reaches its peak, gambling ceases to be enjoyable. At that point, gambling becomes solely focused on doubling money, trust me, sports bettors that have incurred debts understand this temptation better.

And in the next match I think Sevilla should be able to get full points. Because Elche, who will be Sevilla's opponent in the next match, is not a difficult opponent for Sevilla. But for the last 2 matches, Sevilla might find it difficult to get points. because the opponents in the last two matches were Real Madrid and Real Sociedad. And these two top teams will certainly make it difficult for Sevilla even just to survive.

By then, everything will depend on the tasks that Real Madrid and Sociedad will face. If Real will fight with Atlético for second place, then of course it will be very difficult for Sevilla to count on points in this match, but with Sociedad, everything can be different, because, most likely, they will be out of reach for Villarreal and in this case for Seville things could be more positive. But I think that now for Sevilla the main goal is to win the EL final and get a place in the Champions League.

Vinicius had a costly impact on Real Madrid's recent match, but I can understand the frustration. It's incredibly disheartening when players who are invited to a country to play for one of its clubs face racism. His anger and the difficult efforts to equalize Valencia were understandable. Historically, Real Madrid has maintained a strong record against Valencia, not having lost a match to them in the past two years, otherwise that match would be a good 3 points to maintain the lead.

However, despite Atletico Madrid currently staying above Real Madrid on the table, I firmly believe that Real Madrid will secure a spot in the Champions League. With their remaining matches, it seems highly likely that they will win two and either lose or draw one. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, would need to win at least 2 of their matches to surpass Real Madrid right now even if they maintain where they are sitting.

The decision to deduct points from juventus is related to the capital gains scandal reversed midway through the season.This is really going to affect them, honestly, this came at the wrong time. They’re out of the Europa league where they would have used the platform to navigate their way into the UCL. It’s really bad for Juventus, they can’t get maximum points from their remaining games to guarantee them any UCL spot. Juve league spot is as yo-yo as ever this season..I hope they bounce back from these setback.

When you lie and are not honest about your financial affairs, that is what you get. I was happy for them when they jumped back into second place around two months ago, celebrating and gearing up to compete for the Champions League, but the court had to wait until three weeks before the season's end to take away 10 points, and the timing would have really hurt them since they also lost an important match to Sevilla last week. They won't have many games to play in the upcoming season because they aren't eligible for any European competitions, but who knows, they could make an effort to win their final two matches to see if they can qualify for either the Conference League or Europa.
1251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: May 23, 2023, 09:47:11 AM
I also hope that Manchester City will win this season. As Manchester City's performance in the last few matches has shown us, City is now eligible to win the title. They are fully capable of beating Inter Milan. And Inter Milan's performance is not stable now. Unless City's players make a big mistake, they have no chance of losing against Inter Milan. However, since Inter Milan is a renowned and experienced team. City players must play very carefully. Winning against an experienced team is never an easy task.
Manchester City can maximize the opportunities this season as well as possible to get the championship trophy because they have a strong mentality compared to their opponents.  especially if Manchester City are aiming for a treble winner this season after they succeeded in the Domestic league and the focus going forward is the FA cup and the Champions League final.

Yes, just like you, I hope that Manchester city can win the UCL trophy for the first time and make a stunning history this season. Indeed, Inter Milan has experience in the Champions League and I think Pep Guardiola has his own way of beating Inter Milan in the final.

I believe Manchester City is not going to face too many problems in the Champions League final. After all, they have been able to beat the biggest team on their way which is Real Madrid. If we compare Real Madrid against Inter I think we will agree that Real Madrid in the Champions League is a very strong team compared to Inter. So I believe Manchester City has a better chance to win. But of course, there is no reason to underestimate Inter in the final of the Champions League. Manchester City will have to keep in mind that Inter is actually in the Champions League final for a reason Smiley.
Real Madrid hasn't formidable this season it's obvious they struggled in Laliga that shows how weak the team is this season, they are well beaten and thrashed at Etihad that result against by Man City wasn't a surprise to me, from all indication many soccer analysts and pundits are predicting Man City to win UCL against Inter Milan without considering the fact that the final match will be played on a neutral ground and Inter Milan will prove a point by playing brilliantly well and proving that they are not a mere pushover, honestly the wouldn't be easy as expected because it going to be a different ball game by Inter Milan..

You know Real Madrid is the king of football Grin and that is why many people want us eliminated at all costs, it is not a hidden fact that many of those analysts are paid to spread propaganda just because they want Manchester City to win so badly, but despite that, we are still strong and bold, we are coming next season and when we come, the pitch is going to be full of landmine, only Real Madrid players will know where they are planted. As for Manchester City against Inter, Simone you should try again next season since they are qualify to come for up next but this for sure is going to the pocket of Pep Guardiola
1252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 23, 2023, 09:34:12 AM
I think we will not see a change in the top 5 because Manchester United has still two match to go and Liverpool only have a match, Liverpool can overtake Manchester United if Manchester United lose the two match and Liverpool win against Southampton, which is high unlikely.

However I really interested to see mediocre clubs can participate Europa league e.g. Brighton and Aston Villa, Tottenham is always a useless club in international league.

The relegation zone looks interesting because we will see either Everton, Leeds or Leicester City can able to reach the safe zone. I think we should bet Everton, Leeds or Leicester City in the next match because they will try everything to win.

The top 5 is already decided, I feel the league of the season has come to an end. Manchester United don't necessarily need two of the match to be won to decide their faith and that of Liverpool even if they win against Southampton. If Newcastle already has been congratulated for making it to the Champions League after this season, then Manchester needs to win only 1 match from the two they have left and that is all, from Manchester City to Liverpool remain the same in the table.

Relegation zone is full of unserious teams as well; I want to say it is not a debate that the 3 teams that are already there will definitely go to relegation then I remember that Everton has their next match against Bournemouth, and it seems Everon will lose but maybe they will fight to avoid that relegation at all cost this weekend.

Review
=========

Introduction: Privacy and decentralization are key products that people need,  an act that we need to practice and exercise as individuals; it is a right, and anyone is free to exercise it by abstaining from monitoring and censorship from a group of organizations and governments that believe they need to cage everyone's ways on the internet and invading one's privacy. Utopia, a new dawn of decentralization network that embodies the necessary tools to safely access the internet without leaving any marks or stains, here are some interesting features I found on the platform.

Installation/Starting: The process of installing the app was simple and quick. Since the app is entirely anonymous in the sense that everything you do on it is done through the public key, the creation of the account username and public key with a strong password was the first step that was required in the installation process., it is entirely anonymous without any requirement of email, phone number; what is required from users is just the public key to use and access any other components of the platform efficiently.

Profile: Upon completing the setup process, a new dashboard with a carefully chosen theme emerged, capturing my immediate attention. The initial tab that drew my attention was "My Profile," as the entire functionality of the application relied upon the information contained within it, namely the username and Public Key. The profile contains additional options to set up first name and last name as optional fields in the beginning but they are not important in the first place, the important thing is to remain anonymous and maintained maximum privacy.

However, within the profile settings, I discovered an astounding feature that allowed for interaction with the app in a unique way. They had incorporated a naming service known as UNS(Utopia Naming Service), which came highly recommended for all users to register with.



UNS, or the Utopia Naming Service, serves a simple purpose: it provides a human-readable format for Public Keys that can be utilized by anyone on the Utopia platform since the Public Keys are typically comprised of alphanumeric characters and can be challenging for users to remember or differentiate. However, UNS offers a more user-friendly alternative, allowing contacts to be added directly without the need for the cumbersome Public Key, with UNS, users can easily distinguish between various contacts and identify individuals as User A or User B.

uWallet: The built-in U wallet provides users with a simple interface that conveniently displays transaction history on the sidebar. As I began reviewing the application, my initial transaction was receiving 5CRP. What impressed me was that the sender's public key was visible, allowing me to identify the source of the transaction. The amazing aspect of this feature is that the transaction remains untraceable, with only the sender's public key being revealed, ensuring maximum privacy and anonymity.

Swap: Another remarkable feature of Utopia is its built-in swap functionality. Within the Utopia ecosystem, there are two coins available: Crypton CRP and Utopia USD(stablecoin). These coins can be accessed directly within the Utopia app, allowing users to conveniently swap between them when they feel unsafe with the market volatility and instances where users may prefer not to hold CRP due to its volatility, they can make use of the swap feature without the need to withdraw the coins from the platform to other trading exchanges.



To assess the swap function, I personally tested it and was astounded by the results. I successfully executed a swap of as low as 1 CRP to 0.52 UUSD without encountering any slippage issues. This shows the efficiency and reliability of the swap feature within the Utopia ecosystem.

Crypto Cards: This is another enhanced iteration of Public Keys, known as Crypto Cards. With this unique card number, you can effortlessly receive CRP and UUSD from others without having to disclose your public key. Crypto Cards serve a similar purpose to UNS but at a more affordable cost. To obtain a crypto card, you only need 3 CRP, whereas UNS requires 10 CRP, making the payment for a crypto card three times cheaper. Furthermore, Crypto Cards consist of just 16 characters, in contrast to the 64 characters found in public keys.

uVoucher: Utopia offers another exciting feature that allows users to redeem free gift vouchers for discounted CRP in their wallets. With this option, any user can use their given voucher to convert it into CRP. Not only does this functionality incentivize more users to join the platform, but it also generates increased demand for vouchers during events, enabling people to enjoy the benefits they offer. This feature serves to enhance user engagement and promote wider adoption of Utopia, creating a win-win situation for both users and the platform.

uChat: Unlike the conventional chatting apps that store encrypted chat logs in a centralized server, Utopia takes a different approach. It completely eliminates the need for a central server to store users' information and logs. Instead, Utopia only requires the public keys of your contacts to initiate chats with anyone you desire. This unique setup ensures strict anonymity, as you have no knowledge or understanding of who is on the other end of the conversation. This is indeed a commitment to privacy protection in design, offering users a truly secure and anonymous chatting experience.


***Suggestion: The UNS service is a great future, I would have loved to have one or two names created but I was limited by the CRP on my wallet, maybe the next 2 or 3 users should be given that privilege to have one demonstrated for everyone to see how naming service work within the Utopia ecosystem.

*More exchange listing: The volume CRP on centralized exchanges is reducing, one of the exchanges Hotbit announced yesterday to shut down, and that will even make the volumes decline further. The Utopia team should consider adding tier 1 exchange like Kucoin to further boost liquidity and adoption.

*Decentralized applications are almost generally open source, yet I was unable to locate the Utopia Repo on GitHub or any other documentation. The safety and security of the Utopia platform must be made clear to the public, as well as if the servers are really as decentralized as they stated.

Everyone tends to be writing in favour of Manchester City to easily defeat Inter Milan and win the UEFA Champions League title this season and that's understandably because of of the current form of Manchester City. Just like yesterday, City played against Chelsea with their second XI and still beat Chelsea.
But Inter Milan is one club that I think shouldn't be underated despite the current statistics of who's better in performance because if properly analysed, one could see that they weren't even favoured to reach the final but some they made it to the final and that's why I think Inter might just pull a surprise at the final

I understand the angle you are coming from but lemme be frank with you, I did bet on that match and it was a W1 straight win for Manchester City. I hate them for humiliating Real Madrid in Semi Final but I wouldn't allow emotion to over crowd my judgement that Inter will win Manchester City, they have come a long way to lose this match to Inter Milan. If they do lose this match which I believe 90% they wouldn't, Pep would be sack and if they do sack him, nobody wil have any sympathy about that beccause if they have the strategy to elimiante Real Madrid, Inter should be there list worry not taking this Cup.

I'm asking out of curiosity, are you guys experiencing a surge of gambling ads on youtube videos lately? this past week I've experienced an increased encounter of gambling ads on videos I watch on youtube. it's not that it bothers me, I am just surprised because I don't remember getting this many gambling ads on youtube videos in the past, but this past week, I usually get a gambling ad from 2-3 out of 5 videos I watch(it's just an estimation because of how often I get the ads). I don't know if it is because I recently watched several videos of streamers gambling or it's just a coincidence, I've watched streamers gambling videos in the past but I have never gotten this many gambling ads.

I don't notice any gaming related advertisements, this may be because Google and YouTube personalize your data and serve you adverts depending on the data they have on you. When I first noticed that YouTube was showing me ads while I was watching long programming tutorial videos, I was perplexed as to why there were so many advertisements for gaming. Looking back, I realize that it was because I had been watching tutorials on how to play blackjack and dice a few days prior. I believe that this is an example of personalized advertising based on your online actions.

I believe that your ad is being repeated because you enjoy gambling or games that are linked to gambling, no way they would repeat a specific ad more than once unless something went wrong on their end.

After lot of criticism all over the day Real Madrid club took a standby filing a complaint regarding an alleged hate crime targeting Vinícius Jr during their match against Valencia. What I say it's commendable to see clubs taking decisive action to protect their players from racism. Taking such steps is vital to ensure a safe and inclusive environment in sports. It's important to acknowledge that hate crimes and racism should not be tolerated in any form. Therefore, public gatherings should be conducted with caution and discipline.

I stopped watching Real Madrid since they get eliminated by Manchester City, and it seems their matches after that has been the low standard outcome, the dedication to survive attacks and good defense is no longer there, seems like Real Madrid are missing Casemiro than the way he misses the team and I think its high time we say the truth that they really need a new center forward badly, the way Benzema performance decline this season would question anyone if truly he was the one that won Balon D'or last season.

The rate at which racism has eaten many players in Spain is alarming yet I wonder if the federation is doing something about it, the way they boo Vinicius Jr is getting on his nerves and I like the way he stood his ground sometimes, he already signed a new long contract with Real Madrid but not officially out yet and I think racism wouldn't make him live the team.

Before the game I was rating Chelsea as one of the current average English premier league teams but after watching Manchester City's second XI humiliate a star studded Chelsea team I had to change my thoughts of the team because judging by their current standard, Chelsea is playing like championship club that's struggling to play in the premier league.
Mauricio Pochettino has a lot of psychological work to do in other to restore the confidence of this Chelsea team when he finally starts his reign as the club manager. disappointing is a better word to describe the current Chelsea performance

Sorry but I can definitely not agree with the word "humiliate". Chelsea had more shots on target and having less ball possession comes at no surprise. I guess even Barcelona would have much less ball possession in a standard game in the Etihad stadium.

But still Chelsea missed the chance of some minor rehabilitation for this season. Even if it wouldn't have been meaningful in regards to their final rank in the table, it could have created some positive momentum within the team if they win a game against Manchester City.

The question is really whether Chelsea can do a 180 degree turn next season.

If a shot on target has a way of giving points, many teams would have find a short cut to top 4 but it doesn't work that way, evven in final matches we have seen team A beat team B and team B may have all the ball possessions needed to rate good teams, that is exactly what Chelsea display yesterday against Manchester City. By the way, that match was even a progression of points, even if they failed to score against Chelsea, no team, not even Arsenal can win the league, it was already a decided match to perfectly end the journey of Manchester City, the rest of their matches are nothing but entertainment.

I have an incoming transaction from someone that will gonna purchased my item. The problem is the transaction is already stuck in an unconfirmed state for so many days due to the very low transaction fee set by my buyer. He doesn't want to bump the fee and we are just both waiting to confirm for whatever time it is. I'm planning to cancel the deal but the problem is the transaction is still not failed or confirmed.

I wonder if there is a method to cancel this kind of transaction manually because I'm not interested anymore in the deal even if it needed to be paid by me just stop this madness of badgering.


The solution to your situation depends on the type of wallet you used to sign the transaction. If your wallet has RBF (Replace-By-Fee) enabled by default (you can check this by scanning the transaction ID on the Blockchair explorer or your wallet settings), you can increase the transaction fee by replacing the transaction with a higher sats to expedite its confirmation. However, if your wallet doesn't have RBF enabled or you didn't enable it prior to the initiation, there is no way to fasten your transaction, maybe accelerators can help but then, depends on the quantity of your input(s).

Alternatively, you can consider performing a Child Pays for Parent (CPFP) transaction. To provide a clearer explanation, it would be helpful if you shared the transaction ID since it involves a transaction between two individuals. If you are anticipating any change in that transaction, you can initiate a CPFP transaction, which should facilitate a quicker confirmation or, you could also advise the recipient to initiate the CPFP transaction and you guys can settle about that later.

Glad to see Valencia avoiding relegation because that would have put them in a real bad spot for the next years but they recovered greatly in their last games and more than this , they are starting to create scoring chances and kinda gave up on counter-attack style which is a good decision in my opinion.

Can't say the same about Espanyol who still has slight chances to avoid LaLiga2 but they've been in the same situation 3 years ago and they relegated...but the battle is still tight between 4 teams and that should make the end of LaLiga pretty entertaining to watch and also bet.  Grin

Valencia fell off badly in the sense that I didn't notice them any longer, their performance wasn't interesting but it is a good thing they are still trying to stay ahead of relegation, they played almost all the common domestic leagues and didn't go far, they should try again by next season because last year was better as they were almost close to entering Conference league, if not for their last two matches.

I think the faith of Getafe, Valladolid, Espanyol and Elche is already known fact that only one of them will escape relegation zone, they had one of the poorest performance this season and I'm not tryin to be mean when I say they need to go relegation and have some more training, they don't seems too trained to competite in Laliga.  Grin

Even if Manchester City choose to play with their second team, they will still be able to win Chelsea. Chelsea is not a team that can stand Manchester City as it is. That's why Pep Guardiola find it worth while to rest Kelvin De Bruyne and Haaland since they have already won the premier league and also in the finals of champions league. Rest their key players will do them good for the champion league match against Inter.

What Chelsea need is a good coach that utilize their players in a better way not more players in additions to the ones they have. There no reports of Chelsea moving to sign Neymar into the team.
I have to give it to Pep Gardiola and Manchester City for a job well done. Congratulations to them on winning the English premier league and it is well deserved. One of their treble trophy target has been achieved, now their focus would be turned to FA cup and UEFA champions league. City played it's second 11 team and won against the struggling Chelsea side. I just hope we're going to see a brand new version and rejuvenated Chelsea next season because this particular Chelsea has finished. 😄

I attempted to examine Manchester City's fixtures following their match against Chelsea in order to determine the last time they lost a game. However, I was unable to find any losses in their recent history, this is not because they haven't suffered any defeats in the past few months; rather, the matches they have won overshadowed any losses and were all marked with green checkmarks.

I was amazed by how they managed to turn things around towards the end of the season, as for Chelsea, I couldn't help but feel disappointed in them. Pep decided to bench key players from Manchester City to showcase their dominance in the English league, and Chelsea fell right into his strategy. I can only wonder how the game would have unfolded if Pep had chosen to start the tough players from the beginning.
