I'm sad because this is Valentino Rossi's last race in MotoGP  No need to be sad because everything will retire in time, because aging is inevitable. I had no idea this was going to be the case,,, I hardly watch MotoGP but everybody almost knows this legend just by mention of his name,,, and even I can feel sad just as we all felt the tragedy of Schumaker, just as we will all be mourning when the greats of every sport say goodbye. But at least we can say Rossi will retire with his best days in front of him. To be 42, and still racing, and now keeping it off the tracks, it is amazing. I bet you he will forever itch to race again maybe in exhibition cups  |

Good news from Dybala, he should be fully recovered for the game between Lazio and Juventus.
Also, he should sign the renew of his contract by the end of the month.
Dybala is a genius player, but he also suffered from similar problems like Coutinho for quite a while. When you saw him performing brilliantly, you couldn't believe he is sitting on the bench the next game. Not the best attitude in training or whatever. But when players like him or Coutinho play their best, they are really unstoppable. Always good to read about talented players getting out of injury and back on the pitch,,, for us neutrals, every talent like him and Coutinho (why he is benched is such a terrible shame) when they do not play it is a crime to football. Also I would mention van de Beek and Sancho who sit at the bench at United,,, or worse are even watching from the stands not even being names in the squad. But sometimes I guess you also should blame the players for moving clubs, knowing they already start as first team in their old club. |

Hello all,,, also a new player here and new supporter. I see a few very familiar faces from the forum so I am very happy to be here now and wish the very best to the casino, long may it last! My only observation right now is that there are no personal stats to be found. If I click on my profile all I see is my username, or is there somewhere to find this? For example transaction history or betting history would be nice, but I cannot find it.  |

Volatility is the least thing businesses should worry about, since they can easily cash out BTC to Fiat. There are payment gateways which instantly convert BTC to Fiat at the current exchange rate. If that's not enough, businesses can accept stablecoins as payment method in order to gain the benefits of crypto/Blockchain tech and the stability of Fiat. There's simply no excuse to avoid accepting Bitcoin as payment method.
I think,,, you should ask businesses if volatility is important or not. Why do 90% of merchants who accept Bitcoin only accept fiat settlement as you say? Because of volatility! That means they use stuff like Bitpay,,, which actually means merchants do NOT have Bitcoin wallets. You pay with BTC, Bitpay changes it to fiat and gives it to the merchant. So this really means they are not even accepting Bitcoin,,, just letting people pay with Bitpay or whatever gateway. Guess how much fees they have to pay to accept that. And have you seen Bitpay's fees to you as a user? You actually sometimes have to pay more to use Bitcoin. And then refund. What happens if you paid 1 btc when price was 60k and then when customer request refund of 1 btc, but price is 70k? Bitpay will bill the merchant the new price, probably worse rate than spot! Of course volatility is a huge factor for business |

Most of them are only interested because the price goes up high and viral news about bitcoin. his interest is also not necessarily true to learn this technology . they just want to know how to be rich. whereas if they can understand the basic knowledge of bitcoin, crypto and blockchain it is enough for them to start learning more about other things in crypto. I think it's enough to give a reference to the basic things. if someone is really interested surely he will look for more information. and the information is widely distributed on the internet freely.
Which is why people just go crazy for floki and other nonsense coins,,, always about the price, about the "potential"  I do disagree that everyone has to learn about technology though. You can still understand Bitcoin benefits without understanding the technology,,, same as people slowly began to use email and internet benefits without knowing a single knowledge about how to use html code or email protocols. |

Haha. An “investment”? I believe the longer we HODL, it would no longer be considered as merely an “investment”. It would start to be considered an actual transition from fiat to Bitcoin. Because then why are we here?
I have to agree with you,,, speaking for myself and those I know who seriously hodl Bitcoin, it is already passed the point of investment but reached to the point of transitioning. Of course still we cannot spend it as much as we would like but already I gamble and pay close friends in crypto whenever possible because who wants to hold on to fiat that keeps losing value? Then again,,, many other people I know do see BTC as investment, with no plans of hodling too long and exiting as soon as they see a profit they like. |

You sound like you have really traveled a lot and seen a LOT of football Well I do not go out and watch games neither, I have been to just one game in my entire life and few practices, but I have watched countless games. I watched it early one, when I was much younger, 10-15 years ago as a teenager in high school and it just wasn't the same. I get that some people like the feeling of it, the atmosphere and all that but the reality is that you can't really watch the game. Watching from TV is so much more comfortable, get a couple of beers, some chips, and just lay down on your couch and watch it, it is so much more comfortable. I mean I get that some people like it that way but the reality is that you can't view the pitch all that well when you are there whereas you could literally see the foot movement of players on TV. And on top of that, I have seen much better pitches on TV, because you get to see thousand of different ones, even the same stadiums could have theirs changed eventually. I admit I see more English football than local football and have never even been to a professional game,,, college and uni football a lot because there were other nice things to see Even I was betting on football before even watching them. It used to only be World Cup or Olympics that we could watch but of course with internet and tv now easy to find the games. Stadium watching is different but it depends on where you are. Worse is behind the goal near bottom you cannot really see what goes on at the other side. I think right where the coach is also is good but yes it depends |

During the scaling debate, months before the UASF cleared the path to a true understanding of Bitcoin, community, and consensus, as a newbie, what was your viewpoint on “big blocks or small blocks”? I was also a newbie with a different perspective.  100 sat/byte, that is still too high except when the mempool is congested, it can even go higher. I will use vbyte because weight are used for transactions except when using legacy addresses to make transaction. Nested segwit, native segwit and the upcoming taproot are using weight for transactions. Right now, the mempool is not that congested, even 11 sat/vbyte will get your transaction confirmed early. This has been how bitcoin transactions has been but it depends on how congested mempool is. You can first use mempool observers to check the vbyte to get transaction confirmed early. https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC,2h,weighthttps://mempool.space/You quoted someone else's comment but I understood you responded to me. I know how to use the calculations, to look at mempool and all that. But if you read my comment, it was talking about the big block small block argument period before the whole Bitcoin forks episode. So we did not even have at the time vbyte numbers to my knowledge. If you needed a transaction urgently, 100 satoshi even sometimes was not enough and I was talking about it being cheap at the time because of BTC price. |

During the scaling debate, months before the UASF cleared the path to a true understanding of Bitcoin, community, and consensus, as a newbie, what was your viewpoint on “big blocks or small blocks”? I was also a newbie with a different perspective. Personally? I felt very hurt by the fees because I was using a site that adjusted fees and it made me pay a lot of money. But guess what? I found out how to use Electrum to set my own fees. I saw that actually even with 100 satoshi per byte fees I actually paid very little. If it was all equal and about fees only I would choose the cheaper one but even as a newbie it was easy to see the people who opted for the split were commercial, thinking about money, were not as good about developing concerns as Bitcoin, and I was not convinced about block security (as in, 51% attack) as so many altcoins show they are vulnerable. Imagine, since the time I was new, LTC, ETH and others always have network down times, and reorganization and confusion. Never with Bitcoin except because of the BCH fork,,, to my newbie understanding. So anyway, long story short I was not a small blocker but a regular blocker;) Like if you have a computer, and you always have option of buying more HDD or just keeping your disk cleaner and more efficient. |

I never really remembered how the past season happened,,, all I know is once you get to the bottom a lot of people give up
Well the chances to get into top ten are very low if you currently stays at any rank below #40 so some people ended up giving up halfway. Well yeah one or two yellow cap might pump you up but the chances are slim to hit that and not to mention that you might have few bad rounds along the way as well so yeah I kinda understand why people stop there Anyway Im currently #31 and Im not going to stop until this is all over lol. Im kinda persistend in this kind of thing lol Every season in football there is at least 1 team that makes a final lap surge in the league, in every country. So this means at least 10 games or more than 25% of the season in almost perfect form. If we put that in equation for this pool,,, this means someone can go crazy and make the highest average. I see now the difference in points is almost 40 between me and the top, and average of 1 point per position. We have 27 more games, if we can find a way to make up just 1 average point for those we can climb 27 positions! Not to a prize yet but add in one or two yellow caps,,, you could be ending up with a prize May we both find a way to prove the adage of Never Give Up |

I never been on a football pitch of that quality either. It looks almost unreal!
It is UK weather man, you can't get pitch like that anywhere else. I was in Newcastle, the one from which the club is from, a couple of years ago. From my hotel to the stadium there was maybe 1 km walk and in that one km there was so many flat green spaces that you could build 10 more perfect pitches just by making the lines and putting up goals. I was there for a week, and i have not seen sun in the whole week, there was also no rain, but roads were wet all the time. It is just slow drizzle I guess and you don't even realize it is raining, perfect for grass. You sound like you have really traveled a lot and seen a LOT of football You are very lucky. For us, I've never seen good pitches in my life to be honest. I remember even for high level games you can sometimes see good fields but when you come closer you realize it is not so,,, with weeds and holes in the ground. I agree the weather must be the whole reason back home,,, even golf courses are criticized in newspapers because apparently they suck up a lot of water (again I guess if light rain constantly then good for the grass). Arsenal supposedly have among the best pitches but also so do Spurs (as we have the newest stadium). |

2 yellow caps and I will get close I can feel it!
Things can change pretty quickly during December and January when we will have a really tight schedule for the Premier League games.Usually it is exactly in this timeline that the past winners get ahead of most of the people.If we miss out a lot of points during this period then we only keep playing for that Yellow Cap because recovering those points in the remaining schedules is almost impossible,so there is all to play for in December and January. [/quote] I never really remembered how the past season happened,,, all I know is once you get to the bottom a lot of people give up, which seems to be the real life case of EPL football for relegation teams. Psychology is a big factor, but then again Christmas top teams also fall apart sometimes and maybe we can see the same in this pool. My eyes is on 19th game standing as this is a bit closer to the actual finishing positions in halfway league. |

If a "fall" happens to 50k, then it would be amazing. If we can fall from 64k to slightly under 30k and then move to around 68k levels, then imagine how higher we would go if the price goes down to 50k. That would mean that we could potentially move to a lot higher levels, like 100k could actually happen this time around.
People are afraid of the price falling down but the reality is that if the price falls down that usually means that it is getting ready for another attack. It will not go down forever, it will go down for a while but then it will skyrocket higher and that is where we are at right now. That is why I am quite happy with what we have, but would be even happier if it went down to 50k and didn't fall any further down.
That would mean only a 25-30% fall so actually,,, pretty normal in the world of Bitcoin, unless it happened in one day then okay, it would cause a lot of widespread panic. But also it would cause a repeat of the bounce back up and beyond, like you say. IT is only when it keeps breaking support and does not bounce high that we should realize the rally is done and we are going back into winter retreat. |
