Considering who Manchester City have left to play with, we can say that with a probability of 80-90% Arsenal will not become champions this season. Arsenal have stronger opponents and Chelsea need to beat Arsenal to gain 6 points and get into the European Cup, the chance of such a Chelsea remains if they take the 6-7th place. This season the 6th place is the best place for Chelsea to get on which will be very difficult.
I think City will be champions this year, Arsenal will finish second, Liverpool will finish third.
Yep that's what most likely will happen.

If Arsenal become the champion in this season, I would say Arsenal is 100% lucky because even though they win all the rest matches, but they're still hoping Manchester City will lose or draw, as we know Manchester City only draw against strong teams, not against weak teams. While all the teams that will match against Manchester City are full of weak teams.

In short they want their citizen to use centralized exchange, they might allow non custodial wallet usage, but only for closed source wallet that created by it's exchange e.g. Coinbase, Bitget.

This year is really bad for privacy users (in United States) since they keep attack privacy tools and tightening their laws.

“recent announcements from US authorities cast a doubt on whether self-custodial wallet providers, Lightning service providers, or even Lightning nodes could be considered Money Services Businesses and be regulated as such.”

This was followed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation issuing a warning in which it informed users that it had begun ‘operations’ on a variety of unregistered crypto firms that it believed were money services businesses and told users that they may experience ‘financial disruptions.’

Specifically, the alert warns against using any money services businesses (MSB) that are not appropriately registered, and further highlights the risk of those “that do not collect know your customer (KYC) information from customers.”

The miners already taking advantage over inscriptions, ordinals and runes hype since the last year, before that Bitcoin fees is really cheap except during bull run (which predicted would happen in the next year). Before those hypes, they don't mind to mine Bitcoin even the fees was less than 10 sat/vbyte, now why they complain?

Or are miners going to try and manipulate the fees and the mempool creating fake scarcity of space and driving the fees up to compensate for what they have lost?
If there are miners don't want to solving the block, the big miners will solve it.

184  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The chink in the armor: traces of centralization on: April 26, 2024, 10:05:12 AM
  • Last but not least is the worst of them all: centralization in mining in form of mining pools that can be taken over, shut down or forced to attack Bitcoin (eg. the US based MARA pool attacking Bitcoin principle of censorship resistance)
This will be the hardest part.

It's easy to avoid CEX, we have plenty way to trade e.g. no KYC P2P, DEX, this forum, direct P2P.

It's quite easy to run full node, just need time and storage.

But if all of the pools agree to censor the transactions that asked by SEC, the only way to combat is to set up own mining pool...

PSG is more favored than Borussia Dortmund because in the group stage these two teams met and PSG managed to win the match, but that also cannot be used as a reference because of course Borussia Dortmund is already in the semifinals of the CL. This has something different that affects the quality or performance. they are better.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid is favored because Bayern is currently in a slump this season, I think it is realistic if Madrid is favored, but this is a big match, of course every team will prepare to face the CL semi-final match with thorough preparation so nothing is easy here.
Yep both PSG and Real Madrid are favored, actually people think PSG has a bigger chance to win than Real Madrid to win, this is interesting.

PSG vs Dortmund and it will held in Dortmund's ground, but PSG is favorite with odds @2.40

Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich and it will held in Bayern Munich's ground, Bayern Munich is the favorite even though not heavy with odds @2.40

To be honest, I think Real Madrid has a bigger chance to win than PSG to win, so don't miss to take advantage over this match.

Erik ten Hag will be forced to take a 25 per cent pay cut at Manchester United should the club fail to qualify for the Champions League.
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/tenhag-man-united-sack-wage-32661884
I think this is gonna be a long term drama between ten hag and united since he is now facing difficult situation caused by his club was not even able to qualify for the europa league. It's a shameful result for a club that has paid hundreds millions to buy the new players at the last summer transfer season.
I personally hope him to leave from the club rather than stay for another season. I saw him as a main factor that was making united denying. Im so sick of him.
Lol.

Ratcliffe has no empathy to Ten Hag, how can he force Ten Hag must brought Manchester United to enter Champions League when the chance didn't even reach 1%?

Currently Manchester United has 53 points, they need to overtake Aston Villa positions that currently has 66 points, technically Manchester United must win all the rest matches and Aston Villa must lose all the matches. How it's even possible?

She is stupid, that's all.

If I find a way to make money without doing anything and has zero risk, I would invest all of the money I have, sell my house and take a loan as much as possible. But, we all know such thing doesn't exist, if someone scared of losing in investment, they need to know if they will in loss even they hold fiat i.e. it's due to inflation.

Nothing surprise with the result, even the match held in American Express Stadium, but Manchester City completely humiliate Brighton.

If you don't think Arsenal will win, your only option is City, as Liverpool has almost no chance of winning the Premier League this season and it means you are saying city is the only choice to win the PL trophy this season.
Yep Liverpool has no chance to become a champion.

The rest of Manchester City matches are against weak teams, I really doubt they can draw in two matches or lose at least one match. But Arsenal need this considering they're 2 goals behind Manchester City if Manchester City win all the games.

This is not a graph about new investors, but there's a correlation whenever Bitcoin price at the peak, there are a lot address become active. It's quite surprising how there are a lot people can predict the ATH.

Right now the active address declining, either there are not many people want to buy Bitcoin or the high fees discourage them to buy Bitcoin. This period, we're in accumulating phase before Bitcoin made new ATH!

And the user who spoke with Satoshi was active in 2023, although he no longer making post since 2016.

We don't know what's actually he meant to move to other things, but I think the longer he hanging around, it will increase the possibility someone might able to leak his information and find out who're actually Satoshi is.

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag wants the Red Devils to sign another striker this summer amid Rasmus Hojlund's struggles.
I think there's something wrong with ten hag at this time. He is once again recommending united's management to bring him a new striker, i think that ten hag is clueless about what's the main factor that prevented united to do better. That is him. The better he leave from the club rather stay for another season.
Ten hag once again requested his club to give him money and use it to get a new striker. That's kinda weird to see that how ten hag is always picking buying the new player as the solution rather than try to maximizing what is owned by united. Im still wondering why some united fans always said give him time.
Im also feeling curious about what process is ten hag in. I never see any improvement come from the club. United's performance is always stuck. United fans shall urge the management to sack him. It's a disaster to see ten hag is still sitting as head coach of united.
Im sick of it. Ten hag always contradicts himself takes one step forward and then moon walks right back to where we started the week. This must be stopped before it's too late.
Who're the players that need to be trained by Ten Hag?

Martial? injured since last year.
Shoretire and Forson? both of them have no place in senior team.
Antony? nothing different to Hojlund.
Garnacho and Rashford? both of them are suitable in their own positions.

Ten Hag has no choice except let Hojlund to play for every match even though he's really awful. The only way for Manchester United to have a new striker without sign a new player is waiting Greenwood back from Getafe in the next 3 months.

You are exaggerating too much about quality of Jackson who is not a world class striker but he is not like a worst ever striker in Premier League or globally recent years or this year.

He is very young too, only 23 years old now.
https://www.premierleague.com/players/110526/Nicolas-Jackson/overview

Many players did not play well when they were young but in later of their career, they became better and even reached to world class levels. We can say it with Drogba, Vardy and some other players. Jackson still has many seasons ahead to improve and become a better forward/ striker.
Yeah it's too bold to say Jackson is the worst striker in Premier League, if someone think Jackson is the worst striker, how about Hojlund, Mudryk and Nunez? all of them are garbage players. Nunez looks better because he has decent statistic, but people need to know his total shots and the total goals he scored. He shots more than anyone, but his total goals isn't even reach 17 goals, while Salah shots less than him can scored 17 goals.

@OP if the miners didn't continue, it means every transactions won't be completed and Bitcoin price will stuck without any change because there's no transaction will be confirmed. To know if the miner still exist or not check mempool.space, click the latest unconfirmed block, if the transaction didn't move, it means all the miners are stop.

@OP even though there's stated the forum didn't allow to use google translator, but the reality it's allowed.

But, make sure your post is genuine, not shitposting.

Example you're a Brazilian, you travelled to Korea and you want to ask how to use Bitcoin ATMs in Korea, you're allowed to use google translator.

But if your intention is to become a fake native speaker by using google translator, it's not allowed.

I agree that if Tuchel becomes the new coach of Manchester United, there will be no changes at all because even with Bayern Munich's good squad, he will not be able to defend the title. I think Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to take big steps since getting full authority so that as soon as possible he wants real changes for Manchester United.
I think Ratcliffe want to hire Tuchel because he have won three trophies with Chelsea e.g. UEFA Champions League(20/21), UEFA Super Cup(21/22), FIFA Club World Cup(2021 UAE). So even though Tuchel is failed in Bundesliga, but he might be successful in Premier League.

He could change Manchester United if he dare to bench both Rashford and Bruno.
196  Economy / Economics / Re: Your aging and retirement plan is your responsibility. on: April 23, 2024, 06:52:54 AM
There is so much hypocrisy and lies flashed in social media that everyone nowadays have normalized being fake and presenting a fake persona for the sake of appearing as though you have you life together but in reality a lot of these young kids do not know how to handle finances and would most likely end up without any savings nor retirement plans.
Correct, most of young generation nowadays live based on what they see on social medias.

If they see someone wear branded clothes, they also want to wear that.

If they see someone else boyfriend give jewelry and expensive bag to his girlfriend, other females will demand to their boyfriends if they also need that even though their boyfriends only work in McDonald.

Honestly can we blame them though? these younger generation just still don't grasp some common sense such as if its too overpromising it might be a red flag after all they are still young and they just don't really know how finance works, some younger generation even thinks they could make a ton of money from trading alone meanwhile the experienced people knows that trading isn't as easy as many people have depicted and also most of the time to make big profit it also requires big capital.
This is why common sense is needed.

If they believe they can make a ton of money from trading, try to trade, if it goes otherwise, they can quit and stop to believe if trading is easy.

I don’t remember the last time in the Premier League three teams fought for the championship and moved so close until the very end. As soon as City missed one game, Arsenal and Liverpool immediately overtook them. There are still 5 rounds left (for City 6, because they need to play the missed match), not too many, but enough for one of the leaders to lose points, I doubt that all three will be able to win all the remaining matches. By the way, Chelsea also have missed matches, so they can still compete with Manchester United and Newcastle.
The 2013/2014 season is more competitive than now, there were 4 teams in the race to become a champion. Chelsea was joining the race, while the three teams are same like the current race lol. The difference is only two goals from each team.


https://www.skysports.com/premier-league-table/2013


Luton Town, Burnley and Sheffield United are 3 teams that are struggling, but only Burnley and Luton still have a chance to survive in the Premier League next season if they can win a few wins in the remaining season.
I was cheering for Luton Town, but their recent five matches are terrible. Right now, it's actually Burnley who have improved and they might able to overtake Luton Town and Nottingham Forrest.

From your post, I don't see you have any plans for your old age, what you might be thinking of is investing some money in bitcoin and thinking that it can help you earn some big money when you get old. But have you ever thought about the scenario where bitcoin will not increase in price in the future or will it become worthless as you get older? Anything can happen and if you really want to have a fulfilling old age then you need more than a plan to invest a small amount in bitcoin and expect it to make you rich.
Nothing surprising, most of new generations are trapped into self pro claimed motivators' mouth. Most of them always suggest people to invest to get rich, while invest is actually the last step to increase/protect your wealth.

It start from internship > low paying job > minimum paid job > high paying job (specialist or middle scale business)

1. If someone choose to save from the money they earn from high paying job, they can't get rich, but at least they're above than average.

2. Grow the business become big > try to open a new branch on the other town > delegate your duty > congratulations you're already rich without need to invest. But if you choose to invest, then you will be a filthy rich.

Maybe you already reading the news about Darwin Nunez, this Liverpool player was called as the worst finisher in the European league according to ESPN[1]. This assessment can reduce the selling value in the upcoming transfer market. It was brought in for 85 million euros, but currently the valuation is only 70 million euros. However, until now there is no rumors that Darwin will become Liverpool selling list in the summer transfer market. What do you think about Darwin, do you believe Darwin will stay at Liverpool next season?

[1] https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/uk-premier-league/2024/04/liverpool-transfer-news-darwin-nunez-finishing-worst-shooting-chances-misses
Really? I would vote Hojlund instead.

Hojlund played for 1,809 minutes, 24 matches, scored 7 goals, assist 2.
Nunez played for 1,896 minutes, 32 matches, scored 11 goals, assist 8.

Look at above statistics, which one is better and which one is worse? if we speak about the transfer fees, Hojlund isn't cheap though, Manchester United spent 74 Million Euros for him.

Nunez is inconsistent, but Hojlund was only prime for 8 matches and then play like shit.

Lukaku is a tough one for Chelsea. If you believe in second chances, it could be a step back or a chance to make things right. I would be careful because of his past there. Still, Chelsea is a mess right now. That could be the chance he needs to show everyone they're wrong. These choices about transfers are like taking chances. A player has to roll the dice sometimes to get that fire back
His career is already end, he can't even perform good in Roma, so he can't compete with Haaland, Saka and other top strikers. He should play in Saudi Arabia or MLS instead since he's a person who looking for money similar to Pogba.

Im hoping nacho to go to the intermilan at the end of this year. This surely strengthening interimlan's squad since nacho is experienced player. Yet again it's all totally depend on nacho's final decision. Joining in intermilan is not a bad move for him since it's winning scudetto this season.
Serie A teams is always like that, they like to sign affordable old good players. But surprisingly even though they're full of old players, they can still able to brought their teams to become champion and can compete against players in prime.
