With Lewandowski three seasons hot form and compared to the recent award of his, he is the man of the moment. Again for him not to extend his contract by now is a signal that might likely exit the club.
Lewandowski is unfortunately to be in a same era of Messi and Ronaldo then all of his magnifcient works have been unrecognized or under-valued because people are obsessed to think Lewandowski is at lower quality and level than Messi and Ronaldo.

With Lewandowski, if he had appeared and played in era 30 years ago, I am sure that he would have been one of biggest or biggest super stars. I know, back in the past, there are more stars than now and the competitiveness is much higher than now. It is abnormal to see 2 super stars dominated all personal tittle competitions for more than 10 years.

Quote
Honestly, if I were Lewandowski, I would have stopped and remained in Bayern. Be very loyal and become a renowned legend of the club.
In the world of football now, no where is sage.
It is better you remain where you are a king and where you are worshipped.
If he is to exit, anything that is not Real Madrid might not be considered fit to harbour Lewandowski(personal opinion)
Lewandowski makes his name in Dortmund and becomes a legend in Bayern. He does not need to contribute more for them, or play there and end his career there to be a real legend. He has already been a legend.

With strategy of Bayern and ambition of Lewandowski, it is very likely to see he leaves Bayern.

Age is just a number. I think making good counter and goal count should be what we should consider and lawendoski is good at the job. I think Maldrid knows what the want lewandoski could be a good choice for them. I don't think the would be looking at a long term contract either. In all I'm not disputing the fact younger strikers would have been a better choice but what I see is Maldrid need an experienced striker the might be hoping on lifting the championships league trophy
Lewandowski have more skills than Pippo Inzaghi and he plays for Bayern which is a dominator in Bundesliga. However, because of his top skills, he won't have issues to find goals in other clubs. In his career, he does not have such issues from Dortmund, Poland to Bayern.

Please don't let the domination of Bayern in Bundesliga to wipe out all great skills Lewandowski has. He achieves it from his talent and professional trainings. It won't be achieved if he is not a talent player and does not have professional attitude with his training and his career. Madrid do need such strikers like Lewy but if they have to buy one at expensive price, they will prioritize young players like Haaland. However, if they can get Lewy from free transfer, I am sure they will miss such gift from market.

Winning the Champions League is not an easy task. The PSG will never be able to fulfill their dream of winning the Champions League if they continue to perform with such a terrible and erratic performance. Almost all the teams in the Champions League are strong. To win against them, there must be continuity of performance, which PSG does not have. I still don't understand why they are not firing their coach. Despite being in charge for a long time, he has not been able to stabilize the team yet.
It is not an easy task for PSG but they can achieve this because it is not impossible task with them. They are very closely to the title with a final match 2 seasons ago.

Their current team are moving closely to the later part of their career so if PSG won't be able to win the title in coming 2 to 3 seasons, they might have to wait for another golden team that might take a few more years to build up. Like Chelsea, they won't their first Champions League about 10 years before the club ownership changed to Abramovich. Most of players contributed to that tittle are the second or third generation of players under Abramovich era. The same can happen with PSG and Mbappe might be a core brick between different player generation and help them to achieve this tough task.

This is a problem that always exists in a team that has a lot of great players PSG won't be able to solve it in a short time they need more time to play together
Here PSG will play Madrid, we know Madrid are an experienced team and we'll see what PSG do with some of its great players. without cohesiveness they can be defeated again like Man city did last November.
Problems with PSG are their dependence and belief on some players who are not professional like Neymar. Chelsea in the past had many professional players, Cech, Terry, Drogba, Lampard, etc. but they only won their first Champions League when those players were more than 30 years old.

Neymar after his record transfer from Barcelona to PSG are not very professional with his life before and after matches or when he has vacation from injury. It is not a player you can rely on for important match. I believe Neymar will end his career like many Brazilian players with shorter career time than European players. Players of PSG now look to have worse ambition than players of Chelsea in the past. Partially because Chelsea were managed by Mourinho who is a very ambitious coach. He shaped career for many Chelsea players from Terry, Lampard to Drogba.

Bitcoin gives us freedom, to own private key then full control of our wallet and capital. In addition, it gives us decentralization and be free from central banks for our transactions. Moreover, it gives us multiple jobs to hunt for and work with. It is an open space for developers, free lancers, content writers, and more.

If you notice on Twitter and other websites for crypto-related jobs, you will see more and more demand on content writers, meme creators, graphic designers and so much more. I mean the crypto industry does not only create jobs for developers but for many other jobs. If you have good skills, you can be a part of crypto industry.

They are not correlated but there are some overlaps in some periods. Don't let overlaps make you think that they have real correlation with each other.

It is like Gold and Bitcoin. There are times people think Bitcoin and Gold move up and down together. The pandemic and months later prove that this assumption about their correlation is inaccurate. It is same for Nasdaq, S&P500 and Bitcoin. They have difference supply, financial force behind. First twos are backed by government and inflation which is not seen in Bitcoin. From core difference, you can see they are very different and relation is talked by people or media is just incorrect assumed one.
1527  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Keep calm and buy the dip! Told yah. on: January 15, 2022, 04:53:56 PM
As per DCA principles, you must need to keep buying at dips with regular intervals as no one could determine the actual bottom. At the same time, for example, you today buy a dip and tomorrow another dip happens then you do not need to buy again. You may go for buying dips at regular interval it can be weekly or fortnightly or monthly or anything which lead you to buy multiple times in a year (just based on your available funds but plan up for more frequency rather than being all-at-once).
DCA does not mean you have to buy at dips. More accurately, it is your plan to load more Bitcoin for your portfolio daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly. It's good if you can buy dips but it is not mandatory to do so. DCA means you buy more Bitcoin and don't care much about your entry price.

DCA is for really long term investment. A very good example is MicroStrategy that bought Bitcoin at many dips but as personal investor, you can not do it too disciplined and professional like Micro Strategy. So DCA helps you to get rid of emotion, greed and fear. Long term, you have more Bitcoin and after a few years, you will see its value increases a lot.

Haaland needs to get used to the pressure. Wherever he goes, it is already clear that it will be a top club and there the pressure on him (in terms of expected results) will be constant. However, I support him in that he openly declares some problems - this will be a good signal for those who put pressure on him to stop their actions.
He did not play for big clubs and did not play in any international big tournament, Euro or World Cup. International tournaments can be one of biggest regret for Haaland and he might be another Giggs who did not achieve big thing with Wales.

Haaland is one of best strikers now and in future but I am very doubtful that he can bring Norway to World Cup or Euro. Even Norway can get in, they might not go to far in big tournaments.

Haaland is young and haven't had any prior experiences in major club so yeah can understand him being unable to handle the pressure. But yeah it is also true that this is normal but Dortmund also shouldn't force him like that. He earlier send out signal one or two year ago when asked about the next club and he said that he has contract with Dortmund right now and he respects the club so won't get away suddenly.
Haaland will leave and Dortmund know that. They are a club with tradition to grow up young players and sell them at expensive cost to get profit for club's balance sheet.

Therefore, it is in their plans and they do prepare for Haaland transfer. I think that initially when Dortmund signed with players like Haaland, Sancho, Bellingham, etc. they did have plans to get profit in future by big transfers.
1529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: January 15, 2022, 04:22:01 PM
The Premier League condition right now will be farmer's league like the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 where the current first-placed team Manchester City is quite far away with a difference of 13 points from Chelsea, who is ranked 2nd
Manchester City have a very good season and they are lucky to not get too many injuries. In the last season, they had troubles with player injuries but it is not what they get in this season.

When Pep have best players, Manchester City can go straight to finish line because they are very strong and have many seasons under Pep. It's Pep time and Pep's players understand his philosophy so well.

Quote
Chelsea's failure to beat City made Liverpool the only hope to become a competitor for City, but now the Kop have lost two important polarities, Salah and Mane, who defended their country in the Africa Cup of Nations. It looks very difficult to break down City's dominance in the primary league which appeared almost perfect in all matches by winning. Moreover, in the next few weeks the opponents that City will face are bottom clubs from Southampton, Brentford to Norwich City, which can be ascertained easily by City winning.
If Liverpool failed to beat 10 players of Arsenal when they had many time, how do we can believe that they will beat Manchester City in this race? It should be taken into consideration about how big difference they have on the table. I am sorry to say it to Liverpool and Salah but it's not this season. Manchester City will win Premier League. Except some sudden suicide with dramatic fall in performance of Manchester City.

One of bad practice people usually do is they do multiple things on a same phone.

- Install bitcoin or crypto wallet
- Install exchange applications
- Install 2FA application
- Log in email which they use to create account on exchange

So what will happen if they lose that phone by any reason? They will lose their coins because bad people who get that phone, will have full access to their account, email, 2FA, etc.

Only hope that they won't get access to Bitcoin or crypto wallet.

It is true but it is half of story and half of truth is not the truth.

Crypto market is very volatile so if you read news like there are people suddenly get rich, become billionaires from NFTs, you should know that there are many people lose money from NFTs.

Fact is it is a zero sum game so if a person get millions of dollars from NFT, it means the amount come from another person (loser) or lot of other people (losers) in the NFT market.
1532  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin total supply is not 21M on: January 15, 2022, 03:44:33 PM
No one knows for sure if bitcoin is 21M, but most people believe that the total bitcoin is 21M. And I think this is the reason that makes bitcoin price soar apart from the first bitcoin. because the limited Bitcoin makes it special.
People do know about it if they read Bitcoin Wiki (Controlled supply). They don't know about it because they don't mind to read Bitcoin Wiki or any important resource for their investment.

They only make investment after they got invitation from someone and just hop on with their money. They don't do their research so they are lazy enough to skip any resource which is given by others.

If you read my share, you can see it is not hard to get the information that total supply of Bitcoin is less than 21M.
1533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: January 15, 2022, 02:48:16 PM
At the moment, I generally have big doubts about Koeman's fault - Xavi came and from the point of view of the result, nothing has changed at all, Barcelona played like an average player and continues to play the same way. Also, I think that Xavi's idea of returning to the old style of play is harmful and will not bring any profit even if he can establish this style.
I agree here. Barcelona players are either old enough and far from their best time in career or too young and need more time to mature. Koeman did great job in his first season and it is fact that can be denied. In his second season, all things were chaotic in beginning after a sudden failure to renew a contract with Messi. Any coach will have to face with big challenge when all plans changed in very last days before a new season and the transfer market is almost closed.

Xavi on the other hand, does not have any experience at top-level league like La Liga. He is smart and used to be a great player but coach and team management are different jobs and he needs more time to learn, get experience and improve himself. Young coach like Pep does not occur too often. Genius players like Messi don't appear too often.

I totally agree that Koeman did well in Barcelona. If anything wrong, it is from the former, current presidents and their director board's members.

However, I am quite impressed with Xavi's actions during his time at Barcelona, because he is willing to carry quite a heavy burden. Changing the course of the game that was left by Koeman is not easy. As a football coach, Xavi has a lot of potential as an ideal coach in the future how to make a big enough contribution. It's better for Xavi to stay at Barcelona and I believe that gradually Barcelona's players can truly match what Xavi expects as a new generation of El Barca.
Xavi does his job at acceptable level and results are not too bad. Barcelona can put hope on Xavi but we will need more time to see how it goes. With young coaches, they are bad to face with pressure and bad results. Like Lampard, Ole, they all did good jobs but then when thing got worse, they could not handle it properly.
1534  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Claiming BAT in brave browser on: January 14, 2022, 06:17:39 PM
If you don't mind to do KYC, you can use Brave and claim BAT then withdraw it. Please read details in What is KYC from Brave's support document

I am against KYC as much as I can avoid so to be honest, I use Brave browser too but I don't mind to claim BAT or complete KYC to withdraw BAT. Brave is not my most favorite browser too. Chrome, Brave, Tor browsers are what I am using but when I need privacy, I use Tor browser, not Brave.

Quote
Why do I need to KYC?

By default, no KYC verification is required to enable and use Brave Rewards. For example, users can enable Brave Ads and earn BAT without KYC verification. They can also enjoy in-platform features, such as BAT tipping, without ever having to KYC. At this time, the only cases in which a user must complete KYC verification are:

Withdrawals: If the user would like to withdraw BAT from the platform (e.g., to an external Ethereum address or a service that permits such a function, including exchanging BAT).
Deposits of external BAT: If the user would like to deposit additional BAT to be used inside the Brave Rewards ecosystem (for example, depositing externally-sourced BAT to tip to creators in the Brave Rewards ecosystem)

You get BAT as brave rewards when you watch some advertisements while browsing. You probably need to verify to claim the rewards because they are sent to an exchange wallet (I guess) that requires users to go through KYC. Don't expect making a lot of BAT using the browser. You will be earning so little that I don't think it is worth going through the KYC process just to collect some peanuts. But as far as I know after the new update, brave browser now has their own BAT wallet where you can directly collect your rewards. Not sure if you need to pass KYC for that.
I quoted above from Brave. You are free to enable and use Brave Rewards and are not required to do KYC. Unfortunately, in case you want to do withdrawal, KYC card will be used. It sucks in my opinion. I don't dislike Brave because of this rule because I don't mind much about BAT reward but this rule is not good in my opinion. It is like a trap from Brave browser on their users.

In most cases, lower ranked members especially new era genuine newbies have many things to prove.
Apart from putting together what would be seen as quality posts, they still need to prove that they can be trusted, in some cases prove that they aren't someone's alt and even has to make their usernames familiar as many of them don't know anyone in the forum.
But in the case of a Hero Member to Legendary, he must have overcame some of the above challenges, leaving him with only the challenge to make quality posts, earn merits and activity and rank up.
I know there is happiness when a member ranks up because I already ranked up a few times and had that feeling. No one can say "I am not happy because I just achieve something today, rank up for example".

But I get a point discussed above that if the forum does not have merit system and merit is not taken into algorithm for ranking up, such celebration topics will be less created. It is a good point. Furthermore, if ranks don't have any beneficial thing, people might not care about it too.
1536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 14, 2022, 05:57:29 PM
The most attention getting game for me is Marseille - Lille this week. It is in three days and I see Marseille as the favourite side too. Marseille are at the 3rd position in the standings and Lille are the 10th. There is a gap of eight points between them currently. And Marseille are one of the teams that are not easy to be beaten in their home games as they lost only twice. Considering Lille's bad performance in this season too, I think Marseille will beat them.
Lille don't play well enough than they used to do in past seasons but Marseille won't have an easy match with Lille. Lille despite of bad performance and low rank on Ligue 1 table, they are still have enough good players and power to bring troubles to Marseille.

In Ligue 1, except PSG with above level, other clubs can play with not big difference in quality. I mean, in a good day, chance for Lille to beat Marseille is high enough.

Financial power, of course, does not guarantee winning the title, but it helps a lot to do it Grin Individual teams can play on equal terms in individual matches and even beat the favorite, but over a long distance, financial strength and, accordingly, great power and depth of the squad should still play a decisive role. It's a different matter when we talk about the international arena. There will be competitors with a comparable budget and a set of players, and let's not forget that it is much easier to defeat an opponent in two matches of the Champions League cup system than in the round-robin system of the national championship.
Financial power can not automatically bring title to a club. They have to work seriously from training to playing and need to get lucky in order to win titles. Especially in tournaments, cups or Champions League, the luck factor is important. One moment can decide net results of a pair or a final match. So take a title or not, will depend on many things but luckiness is very important.

Lucky chance to score winning goals or to protect your goal from opponents. Together, it will help to make a champions team.

Definitlety. We raised a case with the service providers to raise the KYC limits for now then try something to reduce the KYC all together. With that being said, KYCs will be approved quickly if a player chooses to go ahead with current policies.
KYC is a sensitive area and there are two opposite perspectives about it. Some people are ready to do KYC and don't feel any inconvenience or risk from KYC. Some others don't want to do KYC if it is not mandatory requirement from a platform. They are fearful of data leak, personal identity leak and more.

There are two such different categories of users on casinos as well. So it is good if a Allstarbet101 gives their users multiple choice and level to do KYC.

Second good decision is that I see you started new signature campaign in bitcointalk with one of the best managers Hhampuz.
Maybe you can create some competition for free bets, to give forum members more reason to test and use your website.
It is a good choice from the team. I agree that Hhampuz is very experienced and professional with his management service. He also is very creative with managing contests and promoting casinos. His services can provide some types of promotions for casino: art, video, wager, multiplier, crash contest, and much more.

The team should discuss about it with Hhampuz and he will give them best advice.

They will neither be 20,999,999.9769. That's just the total bitcoins that will ever be mined. The spendable BTC will be far less. Some are provably lost, such as genesis block's reward and the OP_RETURN transactions. Some miners have also failed to earn the entire reward which results to even less coins in circulation.

It's just easier to say that there won't be more than 21 million, which is true.
I see. The total supply is given in the last row of table in Controlled Supply on Bitcoin Wiki. I know it is not a big difference in value between 21M and 20,999,999.9769 Bitcoin. I want to help people who don't know the fact that what they read is just a rough number of Bitcoin total supply.

I was taught about it in this forum so I appreciated that. There are many explanations about how it comes to that figure for total supply on this forum. Jameson Lopp's article is a latest resource I read about i.

I shared Lopp's article because I believe many newbies don't know about it as same as me months ago.
