First, you need to tell why do you think he will buy back bitcointalk? he is an entrepreneur not a pure investor or a crypto trader. Twitter can be profitable and a lot of benefits for him but with bitcointalk definitely not. In other words, twitter and bitcointalk are not the same, bitcointalk is not a place that can make a profit for someone's business but twitter was created for that purpose.


Bitcointalk is not for regular people actually. You'll know this if you try introducing this forum to local forums. Unless Elon has his own Bitcoin casino.
Bitcointalk is not for regular people actually, what do you mean? I think the forum is for all those, who love crypto and especially bitcoin. It's not just for gambling enthusiasts.

It will be both hard to get the both of those player's Mbappe and Oshime of Napoli they are top players for their respective clubs scoring goals for the club, and whoever eventually is been linked to raises the players worth even if he is not worth it. They should go under grown or in another league or country to find a player who can run has eye for goals and fits Into the coaches system. Mbappe wants to make history for PSG, Oshime will not move to United what will determine his regular game time
I still think Mbappe is an impossibility with a contract and salary and clauses that are clearly not easy to get even if both parties (Mbappe and the team that wants) agree that PSG will not make it easy.
But for Osimhen there is a bit of a difference, Napoli obviously want him to stay but when there is an offer that doesn't make sense it's clear they will think of it like with a price far more than the 100 million clause for example.
But indeed for Osimhen if his form continues like this sooner or later he will leave and I am sure of that.

I think it is obviously better if Victor Osimhen lives. And it’s better because of his career. If he stays, it will be helpful for the team that he is currently in. But I don’t think he will have a legacy if he stays on this team. And he has the option to choose if he wants money or if he wants a legacy.

Like Kylian Mbappé, who chose money over his legacy when he had the option to do so, when he had the choice. He could have moved to Real Madrid and built a legacy around his name. But he chose money and made the decision to stay at PSG.

There is no doubt that money plays a big role in all of this, and an offer of 100 million for Victor Osimhen is obviously going to be very difficult for his current team to refuse.
1903  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Not your key not your coins is real, not just quoted. (FTX Issue) on: November 17, 2022, 04:27:01 AM
It is not the first some users lost their coins because they didn't have access to their own keys. Do you really think all those that used or stored their coin on FTX never head about "not your key, not your coins"? Do you really think that they were not aware that they don't own the coins? Do you really think that they didn't know something like this could happen? They knew all of it. But they chose to ignore. They thought that it could never happen to an exchange like FTX, but they were wrong. But guess what, people will still keep on holding their coins in exchanges or non custodial wallets and act like nothing will happen to them. Right now, yes people are withdrawing coins from exchanges, but give it a week or two, people will go back to holding coin in centralized exchanges.

FTX has more than 1 million users and many of them hold money from a few million to several tens of millions of dollars, they know what they are doing. That's exactly what you said, I believe everyone knows what they're doing with their assets, they're not stupid enough to not know what it's like to put money in centralized exchanges. The only problem is their choice.

The need for centralized exchange will never go away and people will quickly forget everything and once again they will look to centralized exchanges. Binance announced that they are holding more than 74 billion and in the past days there have been a large number of investors withdrawing to non-custodial wallets but it only stopped at 150 million, a very small number compared to the 74 billion that Binance is holding. That shows a large number of investors are still using the centralized exchange on a daily basis.
1904  Economy / Exchanges / Re: What are the consequences after FTX bankruptcy? on: November 17, 2022, 04:05:23 AM
The effects of the FTX exchange crash will reverberate throughout the crypto currency industry for a long time to come. There is an opinion that this event can cause a chain reaction and create trouble for other projects and platforms. Perhaps in the near future we will already learn about them. But to be honest, I think it's good that this problem is exposed and it will allow the industry to clean up. Undoubtedly, this will cause pain and suffering, but recovery without this is impossible and the medicament can't be sweet. In the short term, the collapse of FTX is very bad, in the long run it can turn out to be good. Let's see where it leads, but I'm sure it will change the entire industry in a big way.
I support your point, the death of FTX will cause more pain for the market in the near future but that is a good thing because if not now and FTX soon becomes as big as binance and then the FTX bubble burst will deal more damage now.

These will be stains that adversely affect the reputation of crypto, but if you compare crypto with stock or forex, we are still very young and very vulnerable is inevitable. To become bigger and bigger, it is impossible not to make trade-offs and experience many tragic losses. There is no success without cost, sometimes in blood.

Looking at the current economic crisis, no one will want to lose their job because finding a new job at this time is not easy. I will also choose to pay cut, but I hope the company will also reduce our working time. Although it is difficult to find a full-time job that matches my specialty, I think I can find a part-time job to fill that free time.

I've seen a lot of companies lay off employees rather than pay cut, I'm lucky I don't fall into that situation but perhaps if the crisis lasts, it will be difficult to say what. Right now, saving is something I think we should all be doing to get through this, even though you or I haven't lost our jobs or taken a pay cut.

OMG... list is much bigger than I thought  Shocked
There is so much shitcoin vaporware and crapware connected with FTX, and I am just waiting for the next big collapse to happen, maybe it's time for Solana to finally die, after stopping centralized blockchain numerous times.
It's not bad to see clean up and purging off some fake dex projects I see listed here, and maybe few more centralized exchanges will stop working soon.
Real danger I see is that few more stable coins are probably going to collapse and we can see bitcoin going down again as a result.
Better be ready for a bumpy ride in next few weeks and months.



FTX and alameda greatly contribute to Sol's success in 2021, the collapse of FTX will adversely affect Sol but whether Sol will die or continue to develop is decided by Sol, not FTX. The total number of Sol tokens purchased by FTX is 58 million and will be allocated from September 2021 to 2027 and will be unlocked monthly.

Recently, lending platform BlockFi, after blocking withdrawals last week, is said to be preparing to file for bankruptcy as it relates to FTX and Genesis, a crypto brokerage firm that also just announced suspended withdrawals.

Tough tournament for Nadal, his 2nd straight set loss against FAA yesterday. He's playing Ruud next, based on recent performances he'll lose that one as well.
He's out and has nothing to play for - and he doesn't even look physically able to cope anymore.

I'll try a cheeky bid on Rublev against Đoković today @3.50 odds. He played well against Medvedev, the odds are attractive although I do expect Đoković to win.

I absolutely agree with you. Nadal has not been playing well at all. And certainly, he is not going to be very confident about his next match as well. Especially after knowing how well his opponent is performing. And I think him not being able to play physically. Well, he’s also because of his age.

Rublev versus Djokovic match is currently going on. Novak Djokovic has taken the first set and looking much more comfortable compared to his opponent.

Not only Modric, but there are many other players who are likely to retire from their national team after the 2022 world cup. Ronaldo, Messi and many other top players seem the most likely candidates to retire after this.
Rakitic and Modric are two good midfielders for Croatia, they are great players with almost the same quality. I'm not really sure about Croatia in this world cup, that's because there are other countries that are really good to be favourites, like Brazil, France, Argentina or maybe England too. I chose Brazil as the favourite, they are looking very strong for the 2022 world cup.
Yeah, this is probably one of the world cups that will have the most retirements ever. I can't remember any other with more.
It will be an historic moment, and it will allow new stars to be formed. I'll keep an eye on the newer players as well as they're also going to try their best to put their names in the world stage. This is their opportunity.
Normally every year does have a lot of retirements, but this one will be a bit different because we are going to see Ronaldo and Messi not being available for the next one, and that makes people look at all the other names as well.
If you check all the previous world cups, there were a lot of retirements but not names as big as this before, there are no names as big as Ronaldo and Messi, those are the two greatest players ever in history of football and they are retiring on the same world cup, well at least from world cups. That is why we are taking a closer look to all the other names as well. This is why, it’s going to be difficult to watch them, and if they lose which they probably will, it will feel even worse.

There is no doubt that this World Cup is going to be one of the most exciting ever. We are talking about the World Cup after a pandemic and almost the start of the third world war. As a result of this World Cup, a lot of the greats of the game will also be retiring after this tournament.

In my opinion, this will be the most important World Cup in the history of the game. At the very least, this will be the most important World Cup of this century up to this point. There is a good chance that they will lose the game. (About Ronaldo and Messi) It will probably be the last time that we will be able to see them play in the international arena, which is why I am going to watch it.

Why they will take risks? when their target is small. Ben Stokes knows not to get too excited now. He stood at one side when the wicket was worn and most of the time he tried to play the ball. If Pakistan could have kept up some more run as their target, Ben Stokes could have been beaten there. But that didn't happen as England chased the runs. They claimed victory very easily. But such a easy victory may not have in their past winning history.

That's exactly what I said. And suddenly, I remembered one thing which is do you remember Ben Stokes getting hit for four sixes in a row against the West Indies? Carlos Brathwaite did the unthinkable. But after that, even though Ben Stokes lost England final for only one time, he brought home two World Cups, the one-day international World Cup, and also the T-20 international World Cup. That is the type of dedication every player should have toward his team.

And obviously, that target was never going to be enough for Pakistan doesn’t matter how strong their bowling lineup is. Especially against England.
1910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: November 13, 2022, 06:32:07 PM
Of all the matches you mentioned and described, the most exciting was the Tottenham vs Leeds United match because Leeds scored an early goal against Tottenham in the 10th minute after which Tottenham replied in the 25th minute. Half of the half Leeds United were one goal ahead and after the second half started Tottenham again equalized through Davies.

Then the Leeds United players added another goal against Tottenham in the 76th minute, but not long after the Tottenham players responded again in the 81st minute and not long after the goal happened, the same player (Bentancur) from Tottenham again scored another goal which made Tottenham able to win the match.

This was a really close goal for Tottenham Hotspur. They actually found a way to make a comeback in the match. I thought we were about to see an upset in this match. Towards the end of the match, Bentancur actually came to the rescue for Tottenham Hotspur. And also some uncoordinated football from Leeds United helped Tottenham Hotspur to get back in the match.

Rodrigo was really good in that match for Leeds United. And honestly, the defense of Tottenham Hotspur was absolutely bad in that match. It almost always felt like one player from Leeds United was always getting in behind the defense of Tottenham.
1911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: November 13, 2022, 06:05:52 PM
Actually that match was quite unpredictable. But England winning chances were already high before. Because the batting lineup of England was more stronger than Pakistan. And it was seen in this match, as Rizwan and Babar Azam were also dismissed with few runs, and that's why they couldn't score much runs and it become pressure for Pakistan.And the result is England has become champion .
you are right England was the favorite in this match to become champions. Because their batsmen were in great form throughout the World Cup. On the other hand, the performance of Pakistan's batsmen is erratic. And Pakistan's main strength is their bowling line-up. But in today's match too Pakistan lost due to weak batting. If Pakistan's two openers could have scored a pair of 50s and given a target of 160 in today's match, the result of this match would have been in favor of Pakistan. However, Pakistan's bowlers have done well today. However, they need more improvement in their batting line-up.

Ben Stokes realized that there was no need to take any kind of risk because the target was not very big. And even though England lost a few wickets quite early, as far as I remember in six overs, they had already lost three wickets. That was certainly not ideal. But Ben Stokes kept batting responsibly. Obviously, we cannot say that Ben Stokes did it alone. But he was obviously the main man for England. And England also did very well to restrict Pakistan to a very low total.

Honestly, as soon as I saw the target given by Pakistan, I thought there was nowhere England is going to lose that match. But I think a lot of people still had hope because the bowling lineup of Pakistan is really good. But England showed again that they can take any bowling lineup on.

Where would Liverpool's strength go let us look for it because we really need it. LOL
You've just said Liverpool are no longer in power, but you also expect Liverpool to win against Southampton.

It's not Liverpool who don't have strength, but the Premier League competition that is already very tight. The club that was originally only a resident of the middle board or the bottom of the standings, has now turned into a club that can leave the top 4 mainstay clubs in the standings.
A positive trend that we must appreciate as connoisseurs of the Premier League competition.

Against Southampton later at Anfield, the power you say will be at its peak.
But unfortunately Liverpool will not be accompanied by Jurgen Klopp who reportedly received a punishment from the FA for the red card he received when Liverpool faced Manchester City based on sources I know.

We don't doubt the quality of Liverpool's players against Southampton, it doesn't mean Liverpool can get an easy win at Anfield because as you said in the 2022/2023 Premier League season, there have been many changes in the level of team competition. Many unexpected results will occur until week 38. Currently, the Premier League, which has played matches until week 14, also has many results that are out of prediction.

We'll see how far Liverpool are able to overcome Southampton without being accompanied by Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool won the match against Southampton quite easily in the end. It is certainly a time when people are obviously going to doubt Liverpool about a lot of things. But I think that Liverpool does have the capability of making a good comeback in the English Premier League.  

I can see, Liverpool is in the sixth position right now, after that win against Southampton. So, I don’t think they are absolutely in that position from where they cannot do anything.

If they can stay in the sixth or seventh position before the break of the World Cup, (considering the fact that other clubs still have met us to play before the World Cup) I think they are going to be able to do well in that time when they come back for club football.
1913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: November 12, 2022, 09:56:13 PM
Snip.
Most chances Karim Benzema is going to stay here at Real Madrid until end of 2024 and with the end of this contract most chances he is going to retire from soccer because next month he is going to turn 35 and then after end of his contract he will be 37 which mean no more soccer with this all now Real Madrid having one full season and one half for having his replacement which is mostly like Jesus or Osimhen because currently these both are under Carlos Ancelotti radar with who could be lucky it's not clear.
But, good thing happening they are doing good with few youngsters as well which are right now serving with Benzema and having good start of their career even they are still in hunt and mostly likely things could be clear in coming days.
Currently Zidane is the last player to retire with Real Madrid, Benzema will be very lucky if he can end his football career with the club he has defended for a long time. As is known, Real Madrid does not really respect its star players. After Zidane was given the honor of retiring with Real Madrid, no other player has been given the same opportunity including a graduate of Madrid best academy. Iker Casillas and Raul Gonzalez should have had the honor of retiring with Real Madrid, but the opportunity never came.
Benzema age is no longer young, so Real Madrid must immediately find a replacement. Osimhen is still very young, he is also very talented especially in scoring goals. Real Madrid should not wait too long to bring in a player who has great potential for the future because other clubs also really want his services.
New faces must soon be included in the Real Madrid squad for their long-term project, choosing young players who are talented will make the Real Madrid squad more balanced when the senior players have retired.

I think the way Real Madrid plays Victor Osimhen can be a viable substitute for Benzema. And that kid is also performing really well right now. I know that Real Madrid is not going to be able to get him as the absolute best. And I think we all can agree that the way Benzema played in the last season is really hard to be replicated, but I think they will find it good with him. It's actually a smart plan to give him a chance.

I am quite sure that if Real Madrid waits any longer to bring in this player he is most likely to be approached by a lot of different clubs. Then after that, it will be a hard decision for the player to make. Real Madrid should take the chance to win if it is available.
1914  Economy / Exchanges / What are the consequences after FTX bankruptcy? on: November 12, 2022, 04:16:28 AM
The collapse of a big fish like FTX will lead to hundreds of other bankruptcies, the long-running TV series about FTX is just the beginning. Luna's death alone led to many crashes like 3AC, Celsius Network... and blew away 60 billion market capitalization. FTX is something much bigger, I have a feeling that the storm has just begun and we are not yet the center of the storm, the crash of FTX will be bigger than what Luna or Mt.gox ever caused.
In just 3 days, information related to the collapse of FTX caused the market to evaporate 150 billion and I believe this number will increase when they are officially declared bankrupt under Chapter 11.

The empire of FTX and the companies they associate with and invest in.

Maybe it's not a coincidence, a lot of events lead up to it. The SBF went public and funded the Democratic Party before the election, and the SBF also previously offered to enter into the twitter deal with Elon but was turned down. While CZ also became a shareholder when he donated 500 million to Elon in the twitter deal and after a few days owning TW, Elon also openly supported the republican party. In a sense, the battle of the two exchanges is related to US politics.

If Arteta is the manager of Chelsea or Manchester United i am sure he already been sacked long before and this what makes Arsenal different than other big teams on Premier League that their management looks didn't give a lot of pressure to their manager even last season when Arsenal had poor performance period and most people will predict Arteta will be sacked but Arsenal management has patience to him and today they already feel the results that after long period process Arsenal finally can able to compete along with Manchester City for the trophy
When you work as a manager I feel it is important to have the backing and support of the top hierarchy to perform, if they are able to trust your strategies it makes it easier for the fans and players to follow. Arteta was able to earn the trust of the management that is why even when things were rough and some percentage of the group were singing Arteta out! The management stood firm and supporting him cause his project and vision was  clear and in same direction with that of the management which is not the same with Chelsea and Manchester United.

In addition to that, I would like to add one more thing. In my experience, I've seen that sackings happen quite quickly at big clubs. The reason for this is that they generally do not have the patience to wait. The reason doesn't matter, if a talented team isn't performing well, then it is always the coach's fault.

It must be said, however, that Arsenal have shown remarkable patience with Arteta. And in this season they have also backed him up with the money that he needed. As a result, he is now bringing in the results he promised.

Furthermore, I am quite sure that he would not have received this kind of support and encouragement if he had been managing Manchester City or Chelsea. In the past, I have always doubted Arsenal's ability to win the English Premier League title, but this season I am really hoping they will emerge as champions.

Cadiz may not be a big problem for Real Madrid, should not. Real Madrid's dominance is exactly here in the match, but 1 goal is still worrying because if this turns out this will change the result. We really know how Real Madrid sometimes makes some surprises and it is very unpredictable. But this time, I really expect to get a good surprise so that we can see Real Madrid's position is not really far from Barcelona. WHatever happens, Real Madrid must always have full point, if they make some mistakes by losing points or getting drawn, thiswill be really worrying.
I also felt the same concern while watching the Real Madrid vs Cadiz match. but Real madrid's dominance throughout the game has brought quite satisfactory results. and a 2-1 win I don't think is too bad. so the difference in points between Barcelona and Real Madrid is now only 2 points apart. Barcelona is still at the top of the table. but with not much difference in points. then Real Madrid can still have a great chance to seize the top of the standings.

I really think Real Madrid could have scored more in this match. They have missed some really easy chances in this match. But so did Cadiz. Both of them missed easy chances. And I think Cadiz was a wee bit unlucky as well because they got denied by the crossbar once. Even the Real Madrid goalkeeper would have said that he had it covered, but I have my doubts.

Ultimately, I cannot say that this one was an easy win for Real Madrid. Even in the 92nd-minute Cadiz had a good chance which they missed. But Real Madrid got the full three points. That's what they needed to stay close to Barcelona. Now Real Madrid cannot make any mistakes. Barcelona has a 2-point advantage over Real Madrid right now.

If this question was asked 13 years ago people will show you lots of ways to earn bitcoins without investing money like from faucets, playing games, or typing...but with the value of bitcoin as it is today, earning free bitcoins is almost non-existent.

Nowadays, there are still some ways to earn bitcoin without investing by fiat but in return you have to invest your time and effort, nothing is completely free. Try to learn about airdrop, testnet, AMA event, learn to ean from exchanges...where you can earn some altcoin and from there you can convert to bitcoin.

What are you waiting for?
Why you don't move to other exchange if they are not responding?

If you curious to use kucoin so I will recommend go to another exchange and deposit funds from you bank to that exchange.

And than transfer that funds from that exchange to your kucoin exchange account.

This way seems faster, try to use binance or coinbase, whichever exchange is supported in your country. Deposit through those exchanges and then you can transfer all your crypto assets to kucoin if you still don't want to leave kucoin. But in my opinion, OP, you should give up on Kucoin if their service is really that bad because if you later have bigger problems with your property that they don't solve or guide you poorly then you're in trouble.
