161  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: dogecoin futures market to launch on Coinbase on: April 19, 2024, 10:49:24 AM
Exciting times ahead for Dogecoin and the "meme" coins industry. If Coinbase launched futures trading, does this mean Dogecoin will get its own spot ETF in the future? Sounds crazy, but I've learned that anything's possible in crypto land. If DOGE gets a spot ETF, then it would be treated as a serious currency/investment than a joke. I can imagine prices going all the way to the moon afterwards.

It seems like the opening of futures trading had a positive impact over BCH and LTC's market prices lately. Especially BCH which went from around $200 to nearly $700 per coin. Who knows if current DOGE holders are about to get rich soon? Cheesy
Honestly,  this isn't going to help anyone but coinbase, I can guarantee that. Doge is already something silly and could be hyped like crazy, and to think that they are adding futures to it? That makes no sense.

By this logic, not that he needs any money at all, but Elon could simply just buy so many futures, incredible amount of puts, like keep getting them by hundreds of millions, and then tweet about it for a week, make insane return and get out. Does that make sense? I am not saying that's what we will see, I am just saying these things are possible with dogecoin because it is a meme project and a shitcoin. In the end, I am not putting my own money in so it doesn't matter to me, whoever wants to trade doge futures, they are on their own.

Usually that is what I do. Not with "last cash" in a lot of money sense though, like last ten bucks? Then yeah why not. What am I suppose to do with last ten bucks that I can't do with credit card, I usually end up having that type of low cash at the end of months and usually that means I will be staying at home for a few more days not to spend any cash and if I have to spend any money then I use my card, not any cash. This is why betting on the last cash makes more sense to me, that is how I keep doing what I do.

This should be the most important part of the situation because it allows people to see that money is not really that important if you cut it into many small amounts, suddenly it is not the same as 5 dollars but 20 of them, versus 100 dollars.

Salah leaving after Klopp leaves would make sense for Salah because it would mean that he could still play very well there and win something, and he would be playing with other good players there too, plus he would not be terrible yet, he is still a good player, but for Saudi league, if he stays at Liverpool, he is going to slowly get worse and worse, he is not going to be able to score as much and without Klopp to utilize him amazingly, the new manager could ruin his late Liverpool career.

So, finishing it with Klopp and going somewhere else would make it a lot better for him. He could make 100+ million a year there, and score bunch of goals and be a superstar, basically be like Ronaldo where it looks like he is still good.

There is a Fenerbahçe - Olympiacos game tomorrow, I hope Fenerbahçe does not fail us tomorrow and they win the game.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow and I want Fenerbahçe to win. Fenerbahçe has the quality squad to reach the semi-finals, and even has the squad to win this cup. I hope they don't make mistakes tomorrow and get to the semi-finals.
Fenerbahçe suffered a shock in the first leg. Olympiakos almost went through to the next round with a 3-0 lead. Fred and Ismail were on the bench in the first leg because they were not fully fit. They came on in the second half and Fenerbahçe started to play better. Fred and Ismail will probably start this game in the starting 11. Also, Fenerbahçe will have the support of the fans. I also think that the coach Ismail Kartal has studied Olympiacos well and he can spread the last 30 minutes of the first match into 90 minutes in this match.
Let's see how it will go this week but it is obvious that they were playing at away game so it was harder and Olympics fans are worldly known for their passion, so it may have been not so easy, this game will be a home game and the difference is not that big, so we are going to see Fenerbahce have a chance again, maybe it will not be that easy but it could definitely change the result.

We are going to see plenty of games where teams will try their very best because these games are win or go home games, so everyone will try their very best without a doubt. I hope that we could see them do fine, we could probably see the situation change eventually, it may not be all that simple and we could probably see it change a lot.
165  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 18, 2024, 05:55:23 PM
Honestly Inter already won, doesn't matter how this game goes or not, they already won, they are so higher up and they are not getting any worse so why would they not have anything different. Even if they end up losing to Milan, they could just win next week and they would guarantee that way.

This is just a mathematical celebration but it is already guaranteed that they won. Inter had a great season and they are doing fine these years, I have seen them rebuild the team after the last title and they are really providing so much. Last season when they went to UCL finals but failed to do well at the league confused people about if they were actually good or not, but as we can see this season they are actually very great.
166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Lega Serie A 🇮🇹 (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2023/2024⚽ on: April 18, 2024, 05:19:33 PM
Inter is 14 points ahead, even if they lose that is 11 points ahead. To think that Milan would be able to cover 11 points difference would be naive and we all know that the league has been over for months now.

Inter was battling it out with Juvnetus at one point, even Juventus took the lead of the table with one more game at hand, but then everything crumbled for Juventus, at that point Inter got their league title and they have won the league, that was about 3 months or so ago, and ever since that moment, nobody grew any closer. Inter doesn't even care about the league title anymore, they are not going for the wins, you could bet on Milan to win if you want because Inter will not play that hard, because they already KNOW they won it.

I do agree that it looks like we are seeing something monumental, a great work and a lot of effort must have gone into this. I think it is quite entertaining that we have an almanac on what is going on and I think it is quite important to see how you could profit from it as well. I believe that the best thing to go with right now would be just focusing on not just payment (which I agree you deserve all the money in the world for putting this much effort) but also getting some help.

If money is too hard to come by, spending all your time makes no sense, if you are getting paid a lot then it is fine but if you are not getting paid a lot (which I think you are not) then at least getting free help is better, ask for research help from people, they would spend their time but not their money, would be easier.
168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double your money and quite on: April 18, 2024, 08:42:35 AM
This is definitely a "method" but I have seen more people lose all their money than people who doubled it so I would say avoiding this makes more sense. I get that some people may feel like they could do it, and to be fair there could be some people who could do it, but that doesn't mean that you should try to do it.

I personally could have gotten out of debt this way if I tried, no joke, I could either live a life that is 100% in debt all my life, or I could just put all my money into a double or nothing bet and if I double it then I would be able to pay all my debt back, I am not doing it; because I honestly believe that the best way to go would be just focusing on whatever is realistic, not have these type of fake dreams.
169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Conference League 2023/24 Season on: April 18, 2024, 06:32:04 AM
I believe that we are going to see Fenerbahce and Villa win their games, that will be early finals if you ask me because those two teams are the best teams remaining based on what I have seen so far from them.

I think Brugge and Fiorentina will probably be the other two teams at the semi finals. I am not saying that this is guaranteed, if you bet just because of that then I am sorry, I could be wrong. I am just saying this based on the games I have seen from these teams so far this season, and I have also seen the first games as well so I really believe that we are going to see these teams play a lot better than expected, that's an important thing and we should be careful about it as much as we can.
170  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: April 17, 2024, 07:22:02 PM
A very impressive victory for Chelsea because they seemed to be having fun on the field against a weak club like Everton. I also can't believe that Chelsea was able to destroy Everton with the goals he scored and didn't give Everton any space to counterattack, I admit the game Chelsea in that match was really good. Chelsea were able to control the ball well, although not all of it, most of it was controlled by Chelsea so it was able to make it difficult for Everton who also tried to apply pressure but they couldn't at all and it was the visiting club who felt the pressure quite big because they were unable to break through Chelsea's defense until the end of the match.

This victory brings Chelsea closer to the top 6 ranking, just 3 more points left, so Chelsea has the same points as Newcastle and Manchester United even though their position is currently in 9th place, but Chelsea still has 1 match yet to be played and Chelsea must win. If you want to be in the top 6 and that is a very good improvement for Chelsea this season after going through a series of bad results since last season, this season Chelsea have started to recover and improve themselves.
To be fair, that is how Chelsea should have been to begin with, so when they are not doing anything like this, they are actually not doing well and this type of game should have been how they are playing all season long. Looking at their situation right now, we could say that they are not doing that well and could be a problem for them on the long run. I believe that they are trying their very best and I believe that we are going to see them do much better.

We should consider how they could do next season, if they keep the most of the squad and do not lose any good players, then they are going to need a new manager who could play these people, then they could probably go for top six, and even fight for top four as well but that will be difficult.
171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 17, 2024, 06:34:23 PM
Imagine Cole Palmer at Manchester City right now. He was there and City just thought he wasn't good enough for their team and they got snubby because they had so many good players and they did so well without him, they won so much and they thought that he should not be playing at City level and basically sold him off.

Then he showed City and to the whole world what kind of mistake that they did, imagine having Cole Palmer there this season, he could have helped so much without KDB playing for most of the season and even when KDB got back, he could have played instead of Kovacic (and gundogan after last season) because that position is wide open for Cole palmer to take his place. They dropped the ball on that one, it was a big mistake.
172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: April 17, 2024, 06:05:25 PM
It is really going to be sensitive, checking how Liverpool also lost to Palace as well, we could say that it is not going to be all that easy to handle any of this, I think it is quite obvious that we are going to end up with a situation that is going to be risky. I think the best way to go would be making sure that we are handling it as much as we could.

I believe that we are going to end up with a result that has to be done in a fixed manner. I believe that we can make it work one way or another, and that means we should be consider it growing. I believe Liverpool will try their best, because they are going to probably lose the league, so they might as well win this, but the looks is that it is not going to be easy at all.

It looks like things are getting worse and worse with the Bitcoin mempool.
Recent days are not worst days in last one year.
https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC%20(default%20mempool),1y,weight

There are two cool down months February to March before we are witnessing some hype from Ordinals again but they will not stay forever. Bitcoin stays forever, not Ordinals and when they disappear, mempools will be better.

Inscriptions, Mempools and Miners
https://dune.com/dataalways/ordinals
They are back not not aggressively like months ago and you can wait for weekends to get better mempools and fee rates if you really need to move your bitcoins. If you don't hurry, wait for a while, cheaper fee rates will be available.
I do agree that it "felt" like the worst, because we are getting near the halving and everyone expected it to be higher. It is quite low right now and that made people realize that maybe they are not really interested in this situation and they want higher prices, and between paying a lot more and also having lower price at the same time made it s*ck.

When the price goes up, and you also pay more fee, that makes it make sense because it goes up, or when it goes down in price, but you also pay less fee, that makes sense too. But when it goes down both in price but you also end up paying more for fee, that makes people think that we are at a stage where it is not acceptable and that's what I can totally understand, that doesn't feel cool.

Did he really have bad memories with Aston Martin?  He left with mutual undertanding with the team.  And afaik he just retired as he felt like he didn't have it in him to race anymore.  And as for Stroll being his teammate, any old F1 driver who couldn't get a seat with a top team would looove to have Stroll as a teammate because Stroll sucks.  It would be easy to out qualify him and out point him.  :/

I think another reason why it would make sense for Mercedes to get Vettel is he would make a good mentor for Mick Shumacher.
I mean Aston Martin was in pain those days as you would also remember. Vettel wasn't a very competitive driver anymore also of course, you are right about it. However it would have still been nice to see Vettel driving a better version of Aston Martin car like the one in the last season. Alonso was really lucky to drive that car and he did a great work with it.  Smiley

And yeah, it isn't a difficult job for an experienced and skilled driver to outscore Stroll. However that driver has a really big responsibility to keep the team as high as possible in the standings also.

Last season, Alonso collected 206 points while Stroll had only 74 points... If Stroll was better Aston Martin could have overtaken McLaren too.  Sad
The difference was that Aston Martin paid big bucks for some engineers at Red Bull, so when they hired those new designers and engineers from Red Bull they also got all the things that makes Red Bull a better car.

Obviously there are some things even engineers can't handle, no matter how you design the car, if the engine is not as powerful for example, or if the ERS is not as powerful, basically there are so many things that they could, but stuff like the cars shape and all could be worked into it, stolen basically from Newey and put into Aston Martin. Vettel still did as well as he could, and I think he wasn't really caring about it, he could have gone to any other team, he just decided to retire himself there for a bit more last ounce of money.

Building around Cole Palmer is something that shouldn't be considered, they should build a squad strong enough not to rely on a single person. So what happens when he gets Injured?
There's Mudryk and he is also another excellent player for Chelsea and I believe his time will definitely come. When I watch him play, all I see is Eden Hazard. Also, Chelsea has the name Nkuku this is another top talented player and you want them dwelling on a single player? I can see you talk all because of the current moment.

You'd have to win that game against Tottenham Hotspur to go over Manchester United, maybe, find yourselves playing one of the European Competitions next season.
But I still go on to ask if Mauricio Pochetino is still the right man for the job?
I think it is not about building a team, but the fact that they may not be able to keep him. If I trusted that they could keep him, then I would say build a team around him that's fine, but what does "build a team around him" really means? It just means go buy other players who are good right? Well, they have to do that with or without Cole anyway, it is not really a difference between those two.

I think Cole Palmer is a superstar in the making, one of the best player in the world right now, easily would put him at top 10 at the moment if you ask me, but because he is at Chelsea and not at a decent team, nobody really sees how good he is. Put that dude at City and you will see how amazing he could be. Lets see how Chelsea will move forward.
176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 16, 2024, 05:36:24 PM
I believe that PSG could still win, they are not a bad team and when Mbappe takes over a game he could do so much, remember the last world cup? We have seen him score twice back to back so quickly-, failed in the end but we know how he could take over games. We may end up seeing Mbappe do a lot better.

I think it should be something that we are not entirely certain about, this game could go either way. Plus, we have talked about how Barcelona wasn't that great most of the season, but then they started to do better, there is a reason why Xavi said that he wants to leave at the end of the season, the team wasn't doing that well and he wanted to leave. Maybe they are better now, but that doesn't change the fact that they are not "that" good.
177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: April 16, 2024, 09:56:42 AM
If people around them do not agree to them gambling then it could be a reason to hide why they are gambling as well. I am not saying that it's the only way or something, just saying that it would be a good reason to do that, we should probably consider that as the most important part. I personally agree that it is not going to be easy, but we should probably consider the situation to be sensitive in the end.

Not a lot of people see it the same way, and sometimes you just do not want to argue with anyone about your gambling, so that is why you hide it. I personally do not need to hide it from anyone, but if I had to, then I wouldn't really consider that as an issue neither, I would simply just hide it and move on with my life.
178  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: April 16, 2024, 07:28:04 AM
Alonso signed contract with Aston Martin, which means that Sainz is not moving to Aston Martin after this season. Which leaves only a Mercedes spot left for him that's it. However, there are many other smaller teams that will not have contract with some of their racers, so he could find himself a spot in a team that is not great.

I am not saying that Haas or Williams would be lining up to get him, I just think that we are not going to see any changes or anything for them, I think it should be important to notice that we are going to send up with Sainz having an issue. He is too good of a driver to not be in a team, he should be in a team, he is better than Charles at Ferrari right now and yet he is going to be teamless.
179  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How fast can one achieve Crypto millionaire status with meme coin? on: April 16, 2024, 03:45:52 AM
You could become one very fast, start at 990k and be a millionaire in a minute. However, if your entire goal is to become rich thanks to meme projects then I am sorry but you are not going to be one of the few lucky people who could do that. I have seen a few people who did, I have seen some who invested very heavily during launchpad times as well, and got lucky and became very rich. But that doesn't mean that you are going to get rich like them, that was luck for them and they got lucky that's it.

I believe that most people will end up losing all their life savings on these silly stuff and they should stay away from them. I have warned everyone to stay away for years now, but because a very few people did get richer, everyone assumes it's possible.

I do agree that Xabi could be one of the main reasons why they got better, I do not think that there are so many big differences and I think it's clear that people are talking about Xabi as one of the greatest managers that is coming up in the football world because he managed to turn a club that wasn't so great, into a team that did not lose a single game so far this season. They just celebrated their bundesliga championship title, so I think it is going to be possible for them to have a much easier game on the second leg as well, they would definitely want to get this title as well.

Having these wins means so much for them because in most cases teams do not go on be champions for 10 years in a row like Bayern, so they take whatever they can when they are good.
