They made a great cartoon. Ronaldo is back where he started. The young Ronaldo who proved himself to the world in the Premier League is gone, he came back to the world as a proven Ronaldo. Again, we see that there is no shortage of young Ronaldo. I think ManU made the best transfers in the Premier League this year.

Funny cartoon agree but,,, as usual all the context of what actually happened is gone. Ronaldo wanted to move (the goat jumps) and Messi was more like pushed off the mountain, so the goat should be falling into Ligue 1 Wink

Ronaldo went to prove himself to the world like you say, and still he is doing so. Messi only wanted to play for his one club but he was divorced by force.

Well done Betwrong and random Brazilian guy! When you think about it,,, those shirts on their own are worth a lot of money, and then to get merchandise together, you are owning a bit of English football and crypto history Smiley

@leea-1334 for all his shortcomings Wenger nurtured young player’s, and it was the board who sold them for profits and despite that he yet managed to keep getting Arsenal in the top 4 so he’s not to he blamed. Also currently one should avoid wagering on Arsenal unless it’s against a really weak team, and the odds are boosted by Sportsbet.

I think everyone who knew football knew this. The biggest problems came from their own fans and of course from some pundits who criticized Wenger and his supposedly outdated principles. He took all the blame also.

I think they are on a good run and would bet on them in the next big four match for a surprise though. Aubameyeng and Lacazette,,, as long as they both play, and bring Saka up, they can win easy.

So it talks about Unocoin behind this,,, which is an exchange and the article actually claims it is one of the earliest exchanges in India. For me, never heard of them but I am not in India so cannot say but everybody heard about WazirX Wink

I still think these kinds of apps are unnecessary. Why would someone pay their toll in a less convenient way than just using their existing Rs?
1664  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are NFT games also another way to gamble your money? on: September 22, 2021, 06:01:59 AM
but like most games like nowadays the grinder will always win. Spend more time (or more money) and you get more cards, more skills,,, and are always stronger than the guy who only logs in once per day.
Nope, After playing some popular NFT games out there (Axie, Dragonary, Cryptozoon), People who spend more money will get always stronger and get more stuff comparing to people who grind, It was because we are limited by energy or anything like that to doing some stuff on the game so the people who spend more will always get stronger, Even like that there are some good games like MIR4 that basically give you chance to competing with other people that paying more money, we are still on early phase of NFT games and we will see some good games in the future for sure like Iluvium for example.

Yes,,, that is what I said though if you look again at my response Smiley

The spender will always win (I said grinder but I meant either you grind money or you grind time). All of these fake games claim to be skill based and then they sell powerful items that grinders never can catch up with.

So if NFT games do not fix this broken thing,,, then the whole idea is still pointless.

This has to be my best performance ever in a starting week anywhere in any league for predictions. 1 exact and 2 close scores, and even,,, if I stuck to 2-1 I would be 2 exacts!

Did anyone watch the games and were they as exciting as the scorelines? Parlays of BTTS must be at least 4x.

Of course not. The media, banks, Wall Street, etc., are all owned by people who have little to gain and a lot to lose from bitcoin's growing dominance. They will never portray it in a good light.

Reporting stuff like this without any investigation is pretty poor journalism, though. You expect it from all the trash that passes as crypto "news" sites, but you expect better from corporations like the BBC. It is an article funded by a bank and based on assumptions with no hard data. It is the equivalent of Philip Morris funding a study saying that if you smoke you look 30% cooler.

They will, when their bosses or people who pay them their salaries finally get behind Bitcoin,,, and I say finally because there is no other option but to accept. You can fight it but you cannot win something that cannot be killed.

We only have to look and ask JP Morgan bank employees or even Nasdaq how quickly things changed and how they also had to change their tune Smiley

I can confirm that he doesn't think he will.

I can add a second confirmation that all people on all sides of fences are continuing to remain on their respective sides of fences. So here we all are, needing each other to validate each other,,, without one side there cannot be an opposing side. So I welcome his salutations and wait to see which side is right (and being right is never permanent!).

Alot of soccer this past weekend so didn't get to catch all the action.
But good to see your back from vacation as I seen you mention you were going to be away for a week so I put in as many updates on the soccer blackjack as I could. But glad to see you back so you can do those again (was doing them on my limited lunch breaks so had to eat and get them in at the same time so not to be late for work Cheesy).

A very busy weekend coming up for all sports with F1, UFC title fights and of course soccer taking all our time.
F1 thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5330519.msg57984324#msg57984324
UFC thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5323706.msg57982829#msg57982829
Soccer Blackjack: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5323501.0
So get ready for fun times on Saturday/Sunday. Wink

Yes,,, thank you! I saw that and I will try to continue as before, only the problem (well,,, my problem of course) is almost often the game picked is very late for me, but if I work late then it is possible for me, good that we have many people to watch for it.

Weekends are indeed very fun when there is so much going on,,, either you make money or you do not  Grin

Why complicating things, just click on fixtures from left side menu. You can see fixtures from all your pools with entered predictions in green color and missing predictions with text pick now in red color. Could not be more simple.
Screenshot if somebody is interested: https://imgur.com/iLDms1s

I am always putting my predictions few days before the gameweek starts and then tweaking when the day comes if I remember to do it.

I did not see my dashboard as complicated, because it gives me an overview of the next 72 hours,,, so maybe your way is better than my way, then good for you. I mean, if I go to Superbru dashboard is the very first screen that shows to me anyway, I thought that was already very simple. Fixture or dashboard you still need to force refresh depending on your settings Smiley

I mean,,, how complicated is Superbru actually Smiley
1672  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador bought more BTCs on: September 21, 2021, 12:13:24 PM
It depends on their goal and what they think is the purpose of them buying BTC. It's not like they didn't study it and just decided to buy it. For sure, they have a long-term plan for their investments, and with cryptocurrencies, many countries flourish as well. Imagine having cryptocurrency be legal to you and be used in day-to-day transactions and other countries seeing it. I think it would attract more people to buy and use it as currency.

Nobody questions governments when they buy random stock overseas or invest in high risk mutual funds that are sold to them from private companies or even other governments.

People should be happy their government is diversifying and investing into something that cannot be manipulated like stocks or funds and is resistant to wars and other disasters.

Using a p2p exchange that requires KYC defeats the point of using p2p imo. If you want to avoid mass data collection then Binance and Coinbase should be the ones to avoid. You should be directly trading with another person with minimal data collection as possible because p2p is usually more expensive in fees then centralized exchanges. I only use p2p because there is no data collection usually I would recommend changing to a different platform and avoid giving your information up. I am not sure why Binance has one of the best reputations for exchanges because imo they have been one of the worst at handling compromised coins and have made mistakes which should not be happening for a exchange which holds millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin on their platform.

I do not really agree. People have been doing p2p for a long time, not just for Bitcoin, but for other currencies, simply so that they can set their own fees, and earn or buy/sell in between the spread of regular brokers.

P2P like Localbitcoin was really big and still so popular in some countries especially where I am because you are not looking exactly for anonymous people but actual people (besides if you do p2p you still see their name sometimes depending on your method anyway).

To be honest I didn't watch much James Rodríguez when he played for Everton, but I watched a lot of James Rodríguez's performance
in the Columbia national team. This player actually has good vision and skill, but maybe James Rodríguez doesn't fit in with the new Everton coach.
So he decided to leave Everton, but at the age of James Rodríguez who is not young anymore and we know a football career is not long.
So it's a good decision to move to a club that can provide a large salary for retirement plans. So he can enjoy his life well after retirement.
Moreover, we know that the team from Qatar has good finances, meaning that if it is true that he play for Al Rayyan SC, James Rodríguez is
sure to get a good salary offer.

Yes,,, I think this was a calculated move for him. Just like many South Americans who play football,,, they know themselves and they know their future is limited. Everton is almost the last stop for English football unless you want to play in Championship later, but if Qatari teams want you and you know they play well, and you can still win trophies for new clubs and Asian champions league, why not? We cannot blame players for thinking of their careers.

This is what Arsenal did for years, and they did it for like nearly 20 years and made so much money and built young dynamic and running all game without getting tired teams. Now they are faaaar away from that which causes the team to not be as good as they used to be and look like headless chicken running around aimlessly.

This is what Wenger did actually,,, and I bet you the Gunners fans who wanted him out and even made him feel so unwelcome in the stadium with their chants,,, now they wish they had him back again. Same now as us at Spurs who wish Poch was back.

I am "happy" because Spurs is the natural enemy of Arsenal but even I knew he was always doing the right thing.

Now Arsenal may face many seasons without Champions League. This is what happens when you are ungrateful and want unrealistic things for your club.
1676  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is like a losing lottery ticket on: September 21, 2021, 07:44:11 AM
I have news for you. Dollars or your <X> fiat currency are not taken out of circulation either when you spent them (although they can be manually destroyed, just as amounts of cryptocurrency can be "burned" including Bitcoins if devs wanted to do that).

You are right. The only time any kind of fiat is ever taken out of circulation is when the banks decide to replace them,,, to my understanding this is usually when they print new notes with new security, when they redominate or when they destroy bank notes that are too old/damaged. And this is always replaced, so circulation never goes down.

In fact, saving dollars in fiat in bank account causes new money to be printed as they always want money to be circulating in the economy. Hence when you save $100 in a bank, and the bank has $100 in credit, it loans out $100 to someone else. That borrower withdraws $100, your $100 still sits in the bank, but the bank orders $100 more new notes to be printed to give to the borrower.

This is fiat in a nutshell. $100 becomes $200 like magic.
1677  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are NFT games also another way to gamble your money? on: September 21, 2021, 05:51:32 AM
I don't believe they're all of them; most of them include some sort of strategy, which eliminates the possibility that NFT games are a form of gambling. Consider Axie Infinity: it's a skill-based game with a chance element in the form of cards, critical hits, and opponent skill, but it's not gambling.

Skill-based at first maybe,,, but like most games like nowadays the grinder will always win. Spend more time (or more money) and you get more cards, more skills,,, and are always stronger than the guy who only logs in once per day.

If this is not gambling, that is, putting in your time in the hopes of gaining that <1% super rare skill on a loot box, I do not know what is  Tongue

So it seems like the ICO era has not really taught any lessons to people.

Spend money on NYT billboard = great exposure and great visibility. So more token buyers maybe,,, but does it attract any new users? Utility is what makes the project succeed not buyers. And NFT needs artists buy in and collectors buy in.

What was I thinking when I believed that Liverpool will have a hard game yesterday ? Sometimes I forget that they have same players for 3 years now and I think they can play with each other with eyes closed at this point because they simply know every positions of the other player and the passes are simpler than ever for them.

Liverpool actually did have a hard game. Result - wise it looked clean, but Liverpool scored all 3 goals from corners and did not really create that much compared to other games this season. Statistically it also seemed like we dominated but even Klopp said that we grinded the result - which is also really important and shows the character of the team.

Considering the heavy rotations in defence, I'm really satisfied with our performance - keeping a clean sheet in these circumstances is really difficult.

But actually boltz it is true they have the same players for 3 years but if you see the recent games they are not playing with those same players.

In defence last season somebody pointed out they had 15 different pairings. Shocking for a big team.

In offence this season they are trying out Dioga Jota in the front 3 and Firmino is not playing? Even on the right now is that new guy I see, and Wijnaldum is not in the middle anymore so you had a point in thinking it might be hard:)
