Real Madrid's performance against Barcelona was not bad.  Real Madrid went ahead by scoring first. Although that goal was a suicide goal. But later, before the second half, Barcelona scored to equalize the team. But later Real Madrid scored another goal which was disallowed for offside. Later, coming to the very last moment of the game, Barcelona scored another goal to ensure the victory of the team. A Barcelona Real Madrid match means a different kind of excitement. I definitely had Real Madrid ahead in this match considering their recent performances. But there Barcelona played against Real Madrid.
I would say that playing good doesn't really change the end result. There was 9 points difference and now it is 12 points instead of 6, if they won that would have been 6 and still not guarantee that they would get the title, they could have still lost the championship because 6 points is a lot, but when it comes to 12?

That is as good as the league is over right now, there needs to be like some insane unexpected thing for it, and we all know that is not happening. So no matter how good they were, the end result is that due to this game alone, a single game, the league is now over because the difference is double what it could have been if they won.

Historically speaking, Chelsea has always been a very difficult opponent for Real and if I remember correctly, so far Real has only beaten Chelsea once in European competitions.
Chelsea always plays very well in the Champions League, a few seasons ago they were also champions of Europe, and last season they lost to Real with a lot of bad luck, after leading by as much as 3:0 in the match in Madrid.
This year they may be playing a little weaker in the English championship, but this is the game of the season for them and I'm sure that Real won't beat them easily. Two uncertain and exciting matches await us.
Historically Chelsea used to be a better team. I get that they are still all the way here, which should look like that's a good thing and all, but look at where they are in the league, they are doing terrible and just because they have come this far on UCL doesn't mean that they are good.

Historically they used to be good and that is why sometimes they gave Real some tough times here and there, but during those times they were a better team, whereas they are not now. The difference between both clubs right now is staggering and I would say that both games will be easily won by Real Madrid without a worry, just like last year when Real beat them again.

Tell me of your experience in buying  goods or services IRL for Bitcoin, please. Like I did purchased ProtonVPN service with BTC for example. I'm interested in total revenue one may get using Bitcoin as a legal tender or money per se.
I manage to purchase a premium spotify and netflix account using Bitcoin on a local seller in our country. I don’t what’s his total revenue but he is keeping his Bitcoin as in his wallet. He has a lot of customer here in our country since this account is in demand due to its cheap price compared to the original account. He gets the account using CC trick to purchase the account subscription then he will resell it using Bitcoin as mode of payment.

I believe he already earned a hefty amount of money since he is doing this kind of business since 2017 when Bitcoin become popular here in my country.
I would guess that when you get those things in bulk and then resell them, there is a good amount of profit to be made. I know a guy like that, a local friend basically and he got like gift cards, he deals with gift cards and once upon a time he got like 10k dollars worth of amazon gift cards for only 4k, and he sold them for about 9k or so, maybe a bit more but under 10k, so the buyers would benefit from it, sometimes even did discounts for 8k, so his profit was over double that is for sure.

And he kept doing that all the time and that wasn't just amazon gift cards, he had netflix, spotify, disney plus, iptv and many other things as well, all digital stuff basically, and he made a killing. He was making 3-4k a month in profits. Bitcoin is amazing for that kind of job.

So Putin in theory could go to jail if he travels to some countries

Vladimir Putin Is Officially A Wanted Man

Ex-US President Donald Trump expects to be arrested on Tuesday

Which one would be in jail first? make your bets!  Grin
So in case Putin travels to allied countries such as Venezuela and Nicaragua, is there a chance that NATO aircraft would try to intercept his flight and arrest him over international waters? That would start the WW3, and will do a great service to this planet by wiping out 90% of the human population. In case Trump gets arrested, the reaction would me much more mild. At the most, he may ask his supporters to back Ivanka as the POTUS nominee for 2024. Anyway, I would prefer Ivanka as the GOP POTUS nominee over Trump. In fact, anyone else would be better than Donald Trump, even Kanye West.
The thing about arresting Putin is that if there is a conspiracy behind his back, if there is this "attempt" then we could see Putin get arrested by some other nations, and then suddenly back in Russia they could turn the narrative around and say that Putin was the reason for all their troubles and all their misery and now that he is gone they could go back to living a better life. Not that it will ever happen, but that could be the only reason why west would even consider it.

Aside from that, I think it will be simply Putin not participating in anything big, or traveling in those nations, he would be just simply rejected, and nobody in their right mind would force his way in a place he is rejected. Even if you are Putin, you wouldn't want to be humiliated like that, so you wouldn't do it.

Why are you talking about listing BFG on Binance?  
Or I did not understand what you wanted to say?

  I specifically looked at Coinmarketcap now and did not see there that the BFG token began to be traded on Binance.  I was very surprised that someone had already figured out that such a listing on Binance had already been implemented.  Moreover, I said earlier in the topic that for BFG trading, those trading platforms that are now listed in the CMC are enough.
 Moreover, I believe that the developers of Betfury should not now agree on a listing on Binance.  This will most likely lead to nothing good.  
And it costs a lot.  And now all is not well with the Binance exchange itself.  Some troubles with USA regulators at Binance are taking place now.  
You shouldn't forget this.
I think the idea is that what can we do to get listed there, or should we even be listed there or any type of discussion about that. Lets realize the fact that most projects that get listed there increases in price, and there are investors of BFG here as well, so they are talking about a potential thing in the future where they can make a profit from it as well.

I am not saying they are right, nor saying that we will be, but I understand the request for it because it would make them more money. I believe we are far away from that possibility right now, would need about 10x more volume to make sense and then we can maybe get listed, but I understand their desire at least.
186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 22, 2023, 07:09:10 PM
PSG is very tired to settle them, and in fact not too much to bring PSG to the high table Europa Champions league. Maybe the PSG owner is very regretful to pay the salary, of Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar, because the trio seems like the actor on the movie. their glamour is more worthy if play in a movie or be commercial ads actors than football players. That 7 different points with Marseille is show us, PSG can be eliminated from 1st position if that Higher salary player still play like movie actor.
But for any reason, if Marseille gets itself closer to the first place on the table and replaces it with PSG, PSG can fail a lot more than failed so far. As far as I know, the most important player in Marseille is  Alexis Sánchez he is an old player and was a teammate with Messi in Barcelona and now if Marseille gets better results and takes the title at the end of this season PSG with the most valuable forwards will fail even Messi, Mbappe and Neymar.
That doesn't really look like a big possibility though. I mean even with the loss, there is still 7 points difference and PSG has nothing else to win this season, they only have the league. This is why I believe that even though they were upset about the UCL loss and that morale drop caused them to lose this one, they will not repeat this too many times in a row and they will probably get a win.

I think it is important to focus on the fact that we are talking about a situation where it is not going to be an issue for a long time, and Marseille will not be a problem for PSG, they will just keep on winning until the season is over and get the title.
187  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you think BTC would rise again? on: March 21, 2023, 08:31:11 PM
Market roared again. In early March, the US report had a big effect on the crypto and it was even more bearish when Bitcoin started trading below around $20000 due to a rumor that America's second largest bank was about to go bankrupt, but the immediate positive results of the bank sent the market quickly bullish again. Situations like this usually happen in the crypto market, and instead of panicking, you have to set up yourself as a successful investor in the next bullish market.
Yes. indeed it seems that the recent increase in the price of bitcoin indicates that the market will be bullish again. Since early March, the bitcoin price movement has continued to skyrocket where currently the bitcoin price is again trading around $ 28k. Therefore, I believe that later this year it looks like the bitcoin price will reach above $45k.
I agree that the price will keep on growing this year for sure. I can't give an exact number, will it be 45k or more or less? I wouldn't know, I believe that it will be over 28k for sure there is no doubt in my mind about that and I think it's doing fine, but aside from that fact I believe that we are going to be doing just fine and can't tell you an exact price.

This means that if you buy bitcoin today, and sell it later on this year, you should be profiting, knowing this fact makes me feel happy about bitcoin and that is why I will keep on investing into bitcoin whenever I get some money. Many people should follow the same path and get some bitcoin these days, it's time to accumulate hard.
188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 21, 2023, 06:38:03 PM
The defeat of these 3 teams was a huge eyesore in Serie A. They were all big Italian teams and had to experience bitter failures simultaneously. After I checked just now and as you said, I am very surprised that Lazio is now in 2nd place in the standings, maybe because the distance in points is so small that it sometimes confuses my vision.

But actually this will be even more fierce considering the competition for teams in the top 4 of the standings except Napoli will risk everything to secure the UCL zone next season. For Inter, Milan and Roma I hope they will get up soon in the next match because they are all being stalked by two other clubs Atalanta and Juventus who will try to shift their positions later.
These type of weeks makes running a sportsbook profitable business, that's why they do it. Do you think that it would be wise to run a sportsbook if the favorites won all the time, most of the sportsbooks in the world do not profit every single week, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't and they go close to barely making enough profit to pay for operational costs, worked for one so I would know, but then these weeks happens and they suddenly get a spike in profit and that makes it so valuable and profitable business, and it is not rare neither, it happens like once a month in one of the leagues so they keep making that type of profit at least once a month.
189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: March 21, 2023, 05:59:15 PM
if you think about it, the reasoning is right
as I always say, the Champions League brings a lot of cash, oxygen for teams like Real Madrid, so it was obvious they would focus on that (a bit like they did last year!)
I approve of this mentality
Well it is not that they are intentionally focusing there,it is because they cannot do anything for La Liga anymore,the derby of last weekend forced them to do so after losing to Barcelona,now they are 9 points behind in La Liga so it is only natural for them to focus on the Champions League.

I know that it looks easy on paper for them the fight with Chelsea but they should not underestimate Chelsea and just remember the distant year,several years ago when Chelsea eliminated them and Chelsea was in even more bad form than they are actually now.
I agree, it would be wise to work hard to win UCL this season again, of course it is hard to win it back to back and they are going to be facing some tough teams there as well, there is no doubt about that.

But at the very least, when you compare the league and the UCL, they need to win like 5 games and they are the title winners in UCL, technically speaking they can be the winners by winning just 3 games, they could win 2-0 and lose 1-0 and still go to semi finals, and then do the same again and then win the finals, so they need minimum 3 wins, max 5 wins and they can get UCL title once again. When you compare that to La Liga where it's almost guaranteed that they won't win it, UCL looks more possible.
190  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Given an option between Bitcoin and Fiat which do you prefer? on: March 21, 2023, 04:23:23 PM
With bitcoin your privacy is guaranteed compared to the Fiat which you must pass through processes before having access to it.
If bitcoin offered privacy by default, you probably would never promote the service at your current profile attribute.
I think the saddest thing is that bitcoin does provide some sort of privacy compared to fiat, like at least it's not your name that is out there forever, but it is not providing it 100% at all, it provides more than fiat but it is not fully hidden, it's just a thing that is better but not the best.

This is why we have these extra additional companies where you could use their services and could make money the way you want and you could hide your wealth and you can move it around without worry. Those type of things do exists in fiat world as well but usually illegal, which means that you could end up with a lot better result using bitcoin and mixing instead.
191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Shiba Inu still worth it? on: March 20, 2023, 08:16:00 PM
meme coins like doge and shiba inu, maybe we still have hope in the future, we can never guess what will happen in the future, just invest a safe amount in meme coins like doge and shiba inu don't expect too much
We can never guess as there are playing hands behind these two meme coins, once they start to pump the coins we will see huge movement that may magnet and attract investors to invest in and join the ride.

All you need to do is to make sure that if you'll going to make your investment you are willing to take 'the
risk and you are willing to wait for longer time.
Those people or groups or whoever that pumps these type of meme tokens are the main reason for most people to lose money as well. I personally hope that nobody has to deal with these kind of stuff ever again because it was a period where plenty of people made money and that's great but then even more people lost.

I still see every single day when Elon tweets something, there are people begging him to pump doge so that they could recoup their losses, they keep telling their own story of how they lost everything to doge because they "trusted" Elon and Elon should help them recover it. This is basically the reason why you should always stay away from meme projects, because there is really no reason for them to get better.

After researching many methods, failing many times, losing money many times,
Don't feel frustrated because trading is like that so you are not the only one in that outcome but if you have passion for trading then you will go on until you find a profit taking strategy.
[/quote]
Maybe he just count the times that he lose but not the times when he won? He keeps on looking for another strategy or method thinking the one that he uses is not working anymore only because he failed one or two times but sometimes all we need to stick with it and maybe lower only the amount that we are placing.

Once we feel that our strategy is working fine again, that is the time to increase the amount that we are using in our trades. If he is not contented on some strategies that he is using, he will also feel bored on this new strategy that he found which is called price action once he feel that it's not really doing well. The problem is not the strategy but it's about his mentality or attitude.
193  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is ageing and old people part of bitcoin? on: March 19, 2023, 09:03:39 PM
Parents that are of age, what do we think about then? Do you think they're eligible and learned to learn about bitcoin? Talking about ageing parents of 70, 80, and 90s. Looking at the current world parents don't like their children to be exposed to internet maybe because of their past experience of scam threats or they've trade something similar to bitcoin in the past.

Do you think our ageing parents are into crypto investment or trading? Some of them are sound and intelligent and they can comfortable operates their tabs while relaxing. If they're probably into crypto why are some of them advising their children to diseased from internet?
I do not think so, not as a general population. Of course there  could be some old people who joined, I know 70+ year old people who have tiny bit of bitcoin "just in case", not big amounts but they already saved a lot until that age so putting like 5k is nothing to that, so I understand the logic.

But that is rare and we do not see too many 70+ year olds do something like that. I believe that we will probably end up seeing people join at earlier age, and in 20-30 year time we will see plenty more 70+ year old people who will have bitcoin because todays 40-50 year olds will become 70 year old, and they will participate more and in 50 years there will be tens of millions of 70+ year olds with bitcoin. But for now, they are not joining.
194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 19, 2023, 05:02:31 PM
PSG team I think, their club is built to win the league one title. Because players like Lionel Messi, Ramos, Ashraf Hakimi added to the team to do something good in the Champions League. But I don't see any difference in the team. I think the only problem behind this failure of PSG team is the coach of the team.
They are about 10 points or something above anyone else in the league and that means they are not going to give this title to anyone, they will be the eventual champions. I get that there could be some times where they could end up losing, it's football in the end and anyone can lose but they are so far ahead that even one loss doesn't really matter all that much.

This is why I believe that we should be giving the title chances to them, 1.01 odds and all that. I hope that we could see PSG do better in UCL in the future, maybe not this neymar-messi era and when they are gone because Mbappe is young and will continue to play even after them.

Real Madrid is tough team to Barcelona, the last win of Barcelona was really a narrow escape. And I don't think they will escape this time again because Real Madrid is well prepared for the game. On Sunday will be an another interesting day to be with this Matches fixtured on that day.
El Clásico matches are always  great to watch and bet on. I am betting on Real Madrid, because I strongly believe that Real Madrid will win the game. This time around Real Madrid will not allow Barcelona to win them. The fans of the both teams will know the best team after this game, because this game will be a very tough one.
yes because the competition for the league is so heated that it makes both of them want to win and get full points, on the one hand Madrid wants to cut the point gap with Barcelona and while Barcelona wants to keep even further away from Madrid at the top of the standings so that it's easier to run smoothly to win La league this season
We just have few more hours left for it to be played, we need to keep watching and see how they will do. I think it would be easier for Barcelona to win because they are more rested, I agree with that logic, but we need to also see what type of roster Real would have, like for example is Benzema even injured or is he capable of playing? Or any other player, will Real Madrid play with their best eleven, or will they have to just accept that they are not going to win the league and play with some other players?

All these matters, and if Real is healthy and rested and can play their best eleven then I can see them get a win for sure, they will want it more.
196  Economy / Economics / Re: Could Bitcoin one day become the global reserve currency? on: March 18, 2023, 07:12:53 PM
Being a reserve is another separate topic but there's no question that it's a global currency right now or should we say, a global cryptocurrency that's being used widely. Since there have been a couple of countries that have announced their adoption of bitcoin as a legal tender, maybe the next development that will come from them is to see them start putting up bitcoins for their reserve funds. We have no idea if that's already part of their roadmap or if they're already planning about it. But to see bitcoin going to that position is one of the most exciting things that shall be part of bitcoin's development. We're already on the better part of it for which the taboo that it has been believed for so many years that it's only good as a digital currency on the dark and illegal marketplaces is about to break that thought for most people.
I would say that it is a "reserve currency" for the people, maybe not so much for the governments, that could be the case in this situation. I agree that there are a lot of people who have savings in bitcoin right now and that is definitely a great thing, definitely something to cherish because it means the idea of "peoples money" instead of being America's money or brits or French or German's money, it's global, and that matters a lot.

I personally believe that the best thing to do today would be having some sort of understanding that we could be seeing some governments pick this up and realize people love it and eventually start investing into it a bit.
197  Economy / Economics / Re: Poor and Rich on: March 18, 2023, 06:05:00 PM
For me poverty is relative, poverty is not only measured by how much wealth one has. Apart from being poor in wealth, they are also poor in knowledge, poor in experience and poor in capital. There are not many opportunities for the poor to get out of poverty. Most of the poor work relying on muscle, while the rich work with the brain.

Elon musk was born into an affluent family, he did not inherit wealth from his parents. He has capital in his brain, the genius he has can make him a rich man. People who want to get out of poverty will always think of a better future, saving is one way to do this. When the savings you have are enough to serve as business capital, gradually your life will get better.
I wouldn't really agree with this. Poor people could be white collar workers too. As long as your job doesn't have a huge demand, then you are going to earn a very small amount of money.

Like there are way too many teachers in my nation, MILLIONS of them, we do not need that many teachers at all, we have a set amount that we need, and there are places teachers don't want to go to neither, so all in all we are talking about most teachers either underpaid or they are unemployed. Is teaching a muscle oriented thing or a thing that requires high level of education? It's education and knowledge based and yet they are still getting paid so little because there are so many of them.
198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 17, 2023, 03:19:50 PM
We have a saying in our language: "Who bets on Lazio he already lost the money", they have always been the team who can beat everyone in specific day and also lose to everyone.
Exactly
but I learned this lesson the hard way
first I lost a lot of bets because of Lazio (who lost for example with much weaker teams)

after the end of the accounts I decided not to bet more on
- Inter
- Lazio

they are inconsistent teams that make me lose money
In my nation it is about bundesliga, we say the same thing because we all know that Bayern could beat PSG and then come back and lose to hoffenheim or something, it happened before, not the same exact teams of course but that type of thing happens, or Dortmund goes and beats a big team in Europe and then lose to schalke or something.

These type of things happens with Lazio as well, they can easily beat Napoli and turn around and lose to whoever is the last in the league one week later, that is why they are not at the top. Napoli is at the top because they may lose to Lazio, but they are also very great consistently in most games so far this season.
199  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 17, 2023, 12:55:35 PM
Actually, looking at the history of the previous few seasons, this season is the tightest season but it's likely that this won't take long because Bayern are slowly starting to drift away now.

As for the match against Leverkusen, there is a clear chance that it's just that sometimes Bayern always has problems when playing against clubs that are under performing. But the possibility of this happening is very small for now.
There is no doubt about Bayern Munich power and quality but here we have to check other teams are also now improving as they are feeling they need to be had better results before end of this season same happening in case of Bayer Leverkusen which was having the worst start of this season but after change of coach now they are doing amazing stuff with currently 9th in Bundesliga and reached in quarter-final of the Europa Cup which is impressive from them.

Most chances Bayern Munich will be having to win here at BayArena Leverkusen because in last four meetings they never lost any game but this time we can expect good challenge from them as now they are also looking for better end of this season and good preparation for the next season.
I agree that it looks like we are talking about a situation where it is not the same and we are talking about Bayern being way too close to other teams right now, they have just 2 point difference between them and Dortmund, one loss from Bayern and one win from Dortmund and we have Dortmund at the top right now. This is why it is important to realize that Bayern has been not so well this year at the league.

This is exactly why I assumed they wouldn't be good in UCL like previous years as well, but they still are, and they managed to beat PSG somehow, a team that has having hard time in bundesliga beating PSG easily was a shocker to me as well.
200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: March 16, 2023, 06:26:21 PM
Correct me if i am wrong but i never heard any news if Klopp failed bringing Liverpool to playing at champion league then he will be sacked and Liverpool owner will indeed sell this team but it is not stated that it will affect Klopp position in the team and currently the competitions between the team for top 4 in premier league is very tight that at least 3 teams including Liverpool will compete to gets and finish on that position

Indeed since Klopp train this team Liverpool always be playing on champion league since season 2016-2017 and they were never out from top 4 until now so Klopp have do more efforts and make Liverpool more consistent if want to finish on champion league zone at the end of this season
Most chances current or new management will not sack Jürgen Klopp because they all know how things were difficult in this season with injuries and few players were not able to perform their best even right now they are still had chance for the Champions League which is challenging, but they still can achieve this target if they are able to fix their problems in last few years Klopp done amazing stuff here, so just one season is not solid reason to sack him from this job as he still can do things at their best in near future.

Currently, they are having next three matches which will decide can they achieve their fourth spot or not because they are going to visit Manchester City then Chelsea and hosting Arsenal all tough matches in coming weeks if they will have good results then surely Tottenham and Newcastle United will be under pressure otherwise they have to wait for the next season to be better and have their spot into top four now April is surely going to decider.
