In Serie B, the 19th and 20th week matches were postponed due to the increasing coronavirus cases.  If Serie A goes like this, I think the first week matches may be postponed.  The first measure for this was the ban on non-vaccinated football players.  Players who are not vaccinated in Serie A will not be able to play in the matches.
Postpones are applied because we don't know enough about Omicron variants and this wave is coincided with Christmas and New Year holidays with so many events indoors and outdoors. Therefore governments have to do some preventive methods in order to avoid burden on health facilities and health system in worst scenario if the variant is not only too infectious but also has ability to cause serious and death outcome.

The coronavirus might be come to another new wave with omicron, I also heard there is a rumor of delmicron (delta + micron).
Hopefully after this omicron, the pandemic ends and it becomes endemic so it has no more dangerous effect.
Sad to see many matches have to be postponed due to this new variant of covid virus.
I think physical distancing in stadium among supporters should be done stricher to minimize virus transmission between supporter.
Wearing mask, keep social distancing and washing hands regularly with disinfectants are best practices to constrain the virus and protect yourself and people around you. Meanwhile, many events will be postponed until the world collect enough data about this variant.

Firstly Premier League and now we have more leagues to follow them with unexpected match postpones.

„We will only offer Bitcoin, not other Crypto assets. Quite simply because only Bitcoin is really a decentralized blockchain application and from our point of view only Bitcoin offers sufficient security against manipulation. All other crypto assets are not comparable to Bitcoin. Above all, they are not decentralized, but there are companies or business models behind influencing the respective Crypto value.“
It's only beginning. Bitcoin first and if they see that it is good, they will expand to other cryptocurrency. In the end, banks must maintain their customer and transaction activities because it affects bank income. They can not simply ignore Bitcoin or cryptocurrency if in future, people change to become more prefer Bitcoin and crypto for transactions.

Quote
„The most important topic when trading or storing Bitcoin is to be owner of your so-called private key, (secret key allowing access to your Bitcoin). This is where our first considerations were made.
Which trustworthy solutions can we offer for our customers? Many crypto platforms only give limited or no access to private keys because all Bitcoins are centrally stored on behalf of the customer.
[…] Bitcoin centrally stored by platforms is of course an interesting target for hackers. This also counteracts the decentralized storage in the Bitcoin blockchain. That's why we were looking for solutions in which the customer keeps his private key himself and can therefore own his Bitcoin himself.“

It sounds good but I don't believe it if it is given by banks. Banks are related to governments so they will do want to ask KYC and trace customer capital flows. If they don't store private keys of users, it will be like DEX. DEX with KYC and run by government-backed banks, it is something wrong.

Anyway, the adoption is great as a very promising beginning.

Forex and stock markets are different than crypto market. I am sure many traders from Forex or stock markets will get lost in crypto market.

They are different markets and have different operational fundamentals so that to win in crypto market, it requires you to have difficult skills than in other markets.

Moreover you will need to spend a few years to experience, learn from real trading, investment, learn from loses, then if you can survive after few years, you can start to get profit.

unfortunately I agree even though Bayern Munich is without a coach, it looks like they can still win the title! If you're really sure about that, then I don't think you need to bet on the handicap option for this season's Bundesliga title winner because of course Bayern Munich is still very promising about that achievement. Bayern Munich have a solid squad and also a great coach, we know Nagelsmann has done well for Leipzig before and is now coaching Bayern Munich with a better squad so of course it will be a job that could be done better.
It is your assumption that if their players are united as a whole team. A coach is important because of this mission, tactic is important, training is important but the most important role of a coach is unite players as a whole team. Good players can not make up a strong team if they are not united and play for common objectives.

If Bayern players will still unite together and play together, they can win titles without coach but is it realistic assumption?

I have never used a CEX which have the option directly as slippage but have seen coinbase has this feature according to their website- https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/trading-and-funding/advanced-trading/slippage
Is it possible that we can compare the stop loss with this feature? I guess yes?
I think it is more like a slippage when we swap coins on DEX. Coinbase provide services for merchants and this article writes about liquidity that only found on DEX. I have never known that people talk about liquidity on CEX.

Slippage is different than cut loss, because your trade won't be executed and finished if you set slippage is irrelevant to available liquidity. It is difference of slippage than stop loss.

If I were in Haaland shoes I would never go to play for Guardiola. He does not like proper strikers and always tinkers with their positions.
You can be right because I know how Pep treated with Ibra in Barcelona even Ibra played well enough there. In last transfer season, Manchester City tried to make big offer to Tottenham to buy Harry Kane. I think Pep want to change to win Champions League. If he does want to change, Haaland is good choice for them because he is younger than Harry Kane and can play for Manchester City next 10 years.

Quote
Just look City roster at the moment, they have one true striker - Jesus, and he rarely plays and when he plays he plays on the wing. Aguero could not keep his spot as well and there isn't many better strikers then Aguero in his prime out there.
I disagree. Jesus is not a traditional striker and he is not a good striker too. We can say he does not play well in Manchester City because of Pep and his tactic but in Brazil team, he can not do it too.

Quote
City goals come from the team and the goals will always be spread among 10 players, I sort of believe Haaland wants to be that target man who will score 30+ every season and play 90 minutes in majority of games. Not possible in the City while Pep is running it, no matter how good you are.
I know and I saw Pep tried to grow Ferran Torres for this purpose. He want to use Ferran Torres as another Messi but we know there is no second Messi in near future.

I know about Bid-Ask spread and Order book, walls that have roles as temporary resistances and supports. Without big news, big chances, price will be controlled and stucked in range between big buy and sell walls.

About slippage, in my understanding it is only exists on DEX such as Pancakeswap, Uniswap, 1inch. Or does it exist on centralized exchanges too?
Correct me if I am wrong about slippage.

Is there any stats on how much these bitcoin ATMs are being used? Are they any popular?
We could assume there is usage since they keep installing more but I tend to prefer solid data that can be relied upon since it may well be a failing attempt.
Coinatmradar's charts. CoinATMradar is popular and I think you know about this. I tried to find answers for you and they only have some charts.

If they give details of total buy or sell transaction fees, it will be very great but I can not find it. They only have Buy Fee Size at Bitcoin ATMs and Sell Fee Size at Bitcoin ATMs

Recently casino sites launched their own sportsbook at least this year there are 3-5 casino sites that do it I won't mention it here, you must already know
You made a point because if people are pro gamblers, they know what sportsbooks are available, what are old and what are new.

Quote
From here we can see user reactions regarding the launch of the sportsbook some of them look just plain not too flashy, well this can be a benchmark for Rollbit if indeed they are planning the same thing so they should consider it before starting.
Rollbit's sportsbook will have to go through testing period in the market and if gamblers like it, it will grow very fast. It is simply because Rollbit's sportsbook is backed by Rollbit and will get advantage from current gamblers on Rollbit. Sportsbook is most favorite way to bet for most of gamblers. So if they are Rollbit fans, they will not easily skip Rollbit's sportsbook.

Unfortunately OP was scammed. Anyway, OP can read [Guide] Decent mixing methods and use Wasabi wallet that has Tor and Coin Join transaction. It is good for mixing (half-way mixing as theymos said) and good alternative if OP does not want to use ChipMixer.

The given topic about scam mixers are good to read too. Many mixers are scam and if OP can not identify what is good and what is scam mixer, it is very risky.

Haaland would want to leave at any time, but the case is that the club won't let him leave at this critical period. He needs to either help qualify the club for next season CL or give the club Europa League.
As for Real Madrid speculation; I really think that Mbappe is more favoured and linked to Real Madrid. I don't also think that Real Madrid will go for Mbappe and Haaland same time.
Also, Haaland is seriously linked to Manchester United, if I were him I will consider Manchester United. Reason being that Ronaldo and Cavani are old already and this is the right time for Erling to win the love of the fans and become part of the club.
Drama says Haaland does not want to join Premier League and he would prefer to join La Liga. So Real Madrid will be only one destination for Haaland in La Liga. Barcelona are in uncertain period and might have very grey future in coming years. Atletico Madrid looks like not a club that can help players to win personal titles like Ballon dor that is one of target of Haaland.

So if his destination is not La Liga, not Premier League, it can be Ligue 1 with PSG. However, as Haaland will want to win personal titles too I believe between Ligue 1 and Premier League, Premier League is better. If it is Premier League, destination could be Manchester City, not Chelsea because Lukaku is there, not Manchester United because Ronaldo is there.

I only think of two possible destinations for Haaland, Real Madrid or Manchester City.
1594  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage! on: December 29, 2021, 05:02:09 PM
City doesn't have the mentality to win in the champions league, as evidenced by the transfer of jor2an they have not been able to win the champions league at all even almost 4 years under Pep City's care always failed in the champions league. Maybe it's the Premier League, there is a possibility that City can win, but it's not the case with the Champions League because it's quite impossible for City. I sure this years is not moment for City can success and get trophy in champion league.
They don't have good record in history of Champions League but do you remember what is history of Barcelona in Champions League before the generation of Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Busquet, Pique, etc.? They did not have good history, did they?

Everything must be built and mentality you said can be built up with time. If Manchester City win their first Champions League, they can win another one. Just like Chelsea after 20 years they have 2 trophies in Champions League. Do you say Chelsea have better mentality to win Champions League than Manchester City?

How can you be sure that City will not win the Champions League? Where their performance in the Champions League is impressive. They finished the first round from the top of Group A. They will play against Sporting in the round of 16. Relatively weak opponent. I think Manchester will win easily in this round too. Manchester City players are playing well. Pep's strategy has improved. Isn't Manchester City a worthy candidate to win the City Champions League?
They are moving more closely to trophy of Champions League. In the last season, they mostly won against Chelsea in all clashes but failed in Champions League finale when Pep made strange decisions for this squad choosing. Chelsea fighted well enough to take advantage of sudden changes from Pep and took the trophy.

Problems of Manchester City are similar to PSG. They are strong enough and need a little more luck to win it. Sooner or later they will win and get Champions League trophy.

Your question is big and can not answer.

Generally blockchain technology is outstanding and is changing and will change the world. So as consequence of outstanding blockchain technology, cryptocurrency will be accepted more.

Specifically if you are talking about specific cryptocurrencies, they will be either survive or dead in 50 years. Please look at historic ranking table from coinmarketcap.

Many top coins dead and were replaced by new top coins. Be woke and don't naively think that top coins are automatically good and safely for your investment.

Ronaldo arrival did not really have a significant impact on Juventus for the last 3 years, and even Ronaldo has actually failed to bring Juventus to be able to get a trophy in the Champions League, it's true as you said, so far Juventus have been able to show a pretty good performance in the league and champions league before the arrival of ronaldo
It's not true.

Ronaldo has his own issues because he joined Juventus when he was no longer young but to be fair, he still did his job very good by scoring lots of goals for Juventus. If you can find any player in Juventus score more goals in one season than Ronaldo in a few seasons before and after his appearance in Turin, tell me please.

Then Juventus have their issues too that are showing even in this season. Their squad are ageing and it seems their peak is with Max before the participation of Ronaldo. After Max, Juventus did not have good stability in coach position and it is harmful for their general performance. Ronaldo was affected by it as well.

Compared to other casinos, they have a solid budget for promotion. 100k is a lot. Duelbits had 450k, but they are huge, old and popular. Betfury offer several hundreds thousands for New Year campaign. I havent checked other gambling sites, but most of them decided to economize this time. But Bitgame just distribute 100k and will die in a couple of months imho.
I don't think it is fair to compare between casinos especially in their ANN thread. If you don't like, don't support them, just skip their promotion or events. Don't do harmful things if you can not support them. If you don't like Bitgame or their promotion, take it easy and skip it all.

Most other popular casinos gave raffles/contests for this Christmas of around 250,000$ or more. So the budget of Bitgame is a little bit low compared to the old established casinos, but for a new casino it is not bad. Especially if you combine this promotion with their large bounty they held here. Nobody seems to really promote the casino also, I rarely see ads on other websites for Bitgame.
Bitgame is a young casino and you can not require them to spend a same budget for promotion like others that are older and bigger.

Positively they actually run promotion and it is helpful for them to get both traffic, new users and sure more income from more bets, more users and in long run, it will bring good net effects.

If I guess your problem is making deposits and making withdrawals without wagering (low wager) so the withdrawal is suspended
The system suspects that you are doing money laundering even if it's a small amount, usually you have 2 options  KYC or cancel withdrawal. I've experienced it on other sites and it seems to apply  almost all casinos. glad to see your problem can be solved.
It can be suspended but no worry and no issue if the account owner can pass KYC or in-depth compliance review.

If account owner is legit, no issue at all but if there are shady activities, chance is small because when you use account on a platform, they collect data and they have very clear overview on activities you do and what rules you broke.

Interesting match, although in the last game Juventus lost it was just a statistic. Juventus have not been good this season. But the chances of winning are always there. Juventus will play at home. They're not a bottom team, I think the game will be exciting. At least this is the moment for Juventus to rise. I think the draw was fair enough for the final result.
It depends on how Juventus will play in coming months and whether the top clubs especially Inter Milan and AC Milan will give chances to Juventus.

AC Milan and Inter Milan might lose many points enough to create good opportunities for Juventus. It is not what Juventus should care of. They must complete their task to win their matches. I don't like how Juventus dominated Serie in 9 seasons but it is good for Serie A to have them in the Scudetto competition. It will create better competitiveness of Serie A and increase quality of the league.

It goes like this, when you introduce Bitcoin to people, most of them will think you are scammer. They will look at you like victims of a scam digital money.

I did it in the past and I won't repeat it in future. If anyone knows I am Bitcoin investor, and if they need my advice, they will find me and ask for my advice. I can give them free advice, and free basic introduction but only if they find me.

I won't proactively to find anyone to make introduction about Bitcoin. Social media does it already and most of people heard of Bitcoin already. It's their own issue to accept or reject Bitcoin and whether they want to learn about Bitcoin.
