First of all, I would say that it is an honor to perform in the Champions League. But if Ronaldo can't win the title, then how did Ronaldo benefit from here? He has performed in several Champions Leagues in Juventus' jersey. The results were not as expected. He did not do well with Manchester United. I don't think he will win the Champions League if he joins a new team. If the bonding between the players is not good, winning the Champions League title is impossible. It is foolish to think that Ronaldo will win the Champions League title by joining a new team.
Yes, you're right, that bonding between players in a team also matters a lot and it goes a long way in boosting team performance. A player like Christiano Ronaldo who has been a victim of envy from other team members will need more time probably more than a season to get bonded with other players if he joins a new team. To compete in the champions league they will have to work hard and either win the Europa League or finish top 4 next season. |

Maybe thats something for Pokapoka124 to expand on, introduce the parents to Bitcoin also?
BitcoinGirl.Club made a very good suggestion, it will surely help the students learn faster if their parents are Bitcoin enthusiasts. They will support their kids with whatever they need. But accomplishing that will not be easy. Parents are usually busy with their jobs, it will be difficult getting them to make out time to learn. Waste time when knowing all detail with bitcoin but do not know about how to invest and get profit with bitcoin, maybe you miss detail about your student background, are all them richest family or not.
It's not a waste of time. It is too early to start preaching the "you can make money with Bitcoin" sermon, that's the wrong introduction many newbies in the crypto space have, I'm not making that mistake with my student. Bitcoin learning should never start with making profits. You might want to revisit the subject of this thread.
Thank you for the correction and suggestions. On your choice of lesson, is that really important basic? Looking at the fact that, this is there first time getting to learn about cryptocurrency not minding what they must have heard from friends or seen online, I think the approach should have started with a more basic kind of lesson. Like from the historical approach and a better understanding of what bitcoin is. You could maybe adjust your scheme to carry that or support a formate that graduates through levels. The Q&A session by Andreas Antonopoulos was a good way to introduce the class to the task at hand. It was a fine prelude to the subject in my opinion. The history of Bitcoin have been covered in previous classes, those have been theory classes, this is the first time they get to do what they are being taught. |

There are scammers that take advantage on payment system. I've experienced one before, Scammer acted they sent me the payment for the transaction via text message
This is not possible on binance because phone numbers of the buyer/seller are not visible to the other party. The only means of communication is the binance p2p chat box, which puts everything under the control of the exchange, and they can oversee the transaction successfully. |

Bitcointalk users are Anonymous and we are all known by our user names since we have high respect for privacy.
But why do we desperately want to remain anonymous here where some of us have public profiles on some other forum or social media platform. Or is there any where on the forum where anonymity is explicitly advised? It comes with the territory. You're in a Bitcoin forum, get used to it. Bitcoin users value their privacy. It's the same on Reddit and other crypto platforms. The common goal is to share our knowledge on Bitcoin and share our unique experience in the Bitcoin ecosystem. What good will having profile pictures do for the community? |

Tether is just the same as the fiat we are used to daily , nothing to promote Tether about when we already know bitcoin is more better. Tether is still the same as saving money in the bank, if you save some amount of money in the bank and come back for it in the next 20 years it will still remain the same thing, so has Tether too . The benefit of tether is just help bitcoin not to lost value in bear market after having profit in bitcoin.
Tether isn't the same as fiat though they are both centralized, and yes Tether is a stable coin pegged to US dollar, nevertheless it's still a cryptocurrency. I wouldn't advice hodling Tether for 20 years, Tether backing is controversial making them unreliable. |

Manchester United first game under Erik Ten Hag was a good one, the club is off to a good start. They won Liverpool in the friendlies, this victory is a boost to their morale though I think preseason result doesn't determine a club's result in the season. You can start the preseason on a high note and still finish bottom of the league. Preseason matches are experimental games to better understand the fitness of your squad and your opponents as well.

Although Chelsea have only managed to bring in Sterling so far, Chelsea supporters need not worry. Because Chelsea is still negotiating with
many players, it is not easy to transfer players, sometimes it requires a long negotiation process. So have to be patient for Chelsea supporters
waiting for their teams to get new players, actually Chelsea really needs new defenders. Hopefully in the near future Chelsea can get new defenders,
and according to the news Nathan Ake will indeed soon join Chelsea.
But because the transfer market is still open until early September, there is still the possibility that Chelsea will bring in some new players.
Because Juventus asked a very high price to be able to get Matthijs de Light, it seems that Kalidou Koulibaly is the most ideal alternative
for Chelsea to buy. Then regarding Serge Gnabry, it seems that Chelsea will easily get it, because Gnabry's contract will expire next season.
And surely Bayern don't want to lose Gnabry for free next season, so most likely Bayern will soon sell Gnabry. Maybe in the near future Chelsea
will negotiate with Bayern regarding the issue of the transfer fee of Serge Gnabry.
I thought Chelsea will not get players to join this summer probably because of the issues with they were facing with the change of ownership and the head of transfers leaving the club, and the new owner of the club taking the position of handling negotiations at the club but the team plans are showing a different case. They have completed the signing of Sterling, and the Koulibaly deal has already been agreed with Napoli, it’s surprising to see them pull these deals within two weeks. |

Messi will be playing his best for this world cup as it's probably going to his last opportunity to grab this cup for Argentina.
A similar story appears with Cristiano Ronaldo, for Portugal.
Both are excellent players but both have failed to win the world cup for their country. This is their chance.
A Portugal Argentina final would be incredible.
It is every player's dream the attain that height in their career, winning the world cup and for these two legends in the sport have not achieved that. They would do their best to win the world cup this year as it could be their last opportunity with their national team but thinking about it, Messi has had the upper hand and in the best team to win the world cup this past years with Argentina but couldn't, their team is much stronger than the Portugal team and has more stars than the Portugal team but has failed to do so. Maybe they could surprise the world this time in Qatar. |

In the Bundesliga, it's clear that next season Bayern Munich will still be champions because considering, as you said, the current Bayern Munich squad is very complete and it definitely gives Bayern Munich more power next season so that Bayern Munich's chances of winning are again in the Bundesliga is still bigger.
That is the sad truth that fans of other German clubs do not want to hear, Bayern signed Mane from Liverpool, a complete powerhouse of a footballer who is going to make them a stronger team, they might sell Lewy, but even if they sell him they are going to buy another player in replacement, their rivals in Germany can't afford to sign the quality of players that Bayern can, rather they sell off their quality players to other teams, just as Erling left Dortmund for City, which will make Dortmund a weaker side to compete with Bayern next season, as things stand now, i do not see any other contender for the German title if not Bayern, their attention will be on the champions league because the Bundesliga is already certain to a large extent. The other German teams will be feeling terrified already with the kind of signings Bayern Munich are getting on their side. Other teams will be sitting up now and running back to the market to buy players for their squad. Their side because It will be a case of bullying from Bayern Munich next season. Bayern Munich have been very busy in this window and getting Sadio Mane will be the best of their transfers this summer. I am looking forward to seeing how much impact he will add to the team next season. |

Wondering what I'm doing here? To give a little back story, I have been assigned to a secondary school (high school for those in the United States) for my national youth service as part of the mandatory one-year programme for graduates of tertiary institutions. I have been assigned as computer science teacher for the senior class in a school where there are no computers. I guess the students are expected to learn only theory and let their imagination do the rest. I want to give the students a different experience other than the one they are used to. I'm a Bitcoin guy, I wear a Bitcoin shirt to work. I'm practical about bitcoin and want to integrate Bitcoin and crypto as topics in my teaching practice. I am preparing a course outline and borrowed some beginner topics from bitcointalk. I will be borrowing computers from nearby centers for class projects when the time comes. I don't know what to expect from the students, any suggestions will be appreciated.
That is a great job. But I was thinking that United States have a a standard computer laboratory across all the Local Government Area. And from your thread I am trying to feel that you are in an interior village that has no computer hardwares. But when you borrow the computer for the practical class what about the internet, hoh will you do. And if there is network and there is no way for you to get laptop, you can use your Android phone to start the practical class. Continue your good work Agbe does the United States have local government area? It's unlikely our paths haven't crossed in the Nigeria local thread, even though have not been active there as before. I made this clear in the first line of my OP when I said my being a teacher at the moment is part of my NYSC program. I think this post was written in haste as a consequence there are mistakes. This is the latest update on my progress with my class My class had their first Bitcoin exercise with my class |

premier league promoted nottingham forest has now presented Neco Williams, its sixth new summer signing for the new season. the welsh international and right-back signs a four-year contract until summer 2026 and comes from fc liverpool.
the club have now spent almost €70 million in the transfer window ahead of their return to the pl
They are really trying to build a team with which they will be able to at least stay in the Premier League again and probably even finish as a mid-table team. I think it is quite possible. With the amount of money they spent in this transfer market, Nottingham Forest will have high expectations this season. I am also interested to see how they will perform in the Premier League after quite some time. Nottingham which has been promoted this season looks quite active in the transfer market, compared to the other two promoted teams, Nottingham is the team that has brought in the most players so far, they have brought in 6 new players and most of them are defensive players, now they have spent almost 70 million euros to bring in new players and it looks like they will stop at nothing to strengthen the squad and maybe we will see some new transfers from them this season. Taiwo Awoniyi was Nottingham Forest first signing he is a striker signed from Union Berlin, the club had really invested much on new young players other new signings include Dean Henderson, Giulian Biancone, Moussa Niakhate, Neco Williams and Omar Richards I believe their aim is to remain in top Flight in EPL as long as they can and avoid relegation because EPL is a different ball game compared to the Championship, I am quite impressed with the swift signings by Steve Coope who is trying to build a formidable team and as well as wanted all the old and new players to adapt and quickly settle down before the commencement of the league. I'm also impressed with the way Nottingham Forest are progressing with the strengthening of their squad. They have being very active in the market and have succeeded in bringing in some talents to the team. Their main aim next season will be to remain in the league, finish in the top half of the league and compete in the league competitions. Hopefully, with the kind of squad they are building they will be able to achieve their goal. |

Dembele is back as it seems. I have seen on the news that Barcelona have signed Dembele again on a free transfer. The deal is until 2024. Xavi must be happy to see him back in the team now. Dembele also started to play more ambitiously after Xavi came. Therefore he might do better in time by working harder. People had big hopes about Dembele while he was playing for Dortmund. However his journey didn't go well for a long time after being transferred by Barcelona. But now he is improving himself again and let's hope it continues.
Barcelona will definitely improve higher in next season, because their coach is fully ready to increase the team by bringing in new potential players and new tactics that will help the team to stand very well in next season and many seasons to come. Now that Dembele has returned back to Barcelona, showed that there will be increase in Barcelona performance in next season because all those players will like to do everything within their power to make Barcelona fans happy by achieving next season La Liga league title. Based on the arrangement Barcelona coach has put on ground, show that it will be difficult for any team to defeat them in next season. Even though the club is having financial problems they have managed to get some new signings to improve the squad. I expected this financial restrictions to hinder them getting some quality signings but they have showed resilience and have gone against odds to get some quality signings. This shows how determined the club is to improving their team and competing for trophies next season and hopefully they will do much better than the previous season. |

Jurgen Klopp seems contended with his present squad after signing Darwin Nunez as a replacement for Sadio Mane. It was a big loss for the reds but they need to keep pushing after all, players come and go. Rumours circulating that he wants Jude Bellingham in his squad. Klopp is a very calculating manager and wouldn't go for a player which he knows is a star and get him signed and then dump him or denied him regular play time. That's why he isn't going for Bellingham yet, and moreover Jude Bellingham is not even available in the transfer window.
I agree, Liverpool look balanced already, they have gotten replacements for Minamino and Mane and have squad debt. Their current team is doing well already finishing second last season with just a point difference from Manchester City, played in the champions league final, they already have a balanced squad and need a few additions to create options in all positions and they have done that so they are ready to kick off the season.. |

Juventus needs further reinforcements in the attacking positions. Dybala and Morata have left. They were essential to the first team. Bernadeschi was mostly useless, but he still leaves a gap that needs to be filled. Chiese needs several months before he can play again. That will probably be somewhere in September/October.
De Ligt's departure would put a big dent in the defensive line. Napoli's Koulibaly would be a great substitute, but I am sure Napoli's president would rather die than to sell a player to a team that he hates. That's also part of the reasons why Serie A keeps getting worse and worse with teams offloading their best players abroad making the league lose quality.
When you plan to sell out players it is expected that you have suitalble replacements for them. Juventus seem to be prepared to lose Morata this summer when they brought in Vlahovic from Fiorentina back in January. They have also signed Di Maria who is believed to replace Dybala, they are still active in the market and i think they will complete this transfers and reinforcement before the close of the transfer window. |

After Arsenal's interest started for N'Golo Kante, I see that Manchester United have also decided to intervene. Kante is one of the best midfielders of the Premier League now. Aging doesn't change much for him for now. Chelsea wouldn't like to lose a player like him because this would cause them to be weakened in defense more. By the way I understand Manchester United's interest too as they are already after Frenkie de Jong too. They must be aiming to sign one of these players for sure.
Why do Arsenal and Man United try to sign Kante? They must know he is a key player for Chelsea, it is almost impossible to sign him. As far as I know, Chelsea has no other defensive midfielder that has the same capability as Kante. Even if they have Jorginho, Jorginho still can't play at the same level as Kante. I am really sure that Chelsea won't lose another key player after they lost Rudiger. Chelsea must be aware that they must keep the quality and the quantity of their squad if they still want to compete for the title in the next season. Both teams are trying to build and strengthen their squad and will be willing to get any available player. for N'Golo Kante fits right in as a very qualified player and a player who will guarantee the team a certain level of safety in the midfield and defense. I don't think Chelsea will allow their star player go as they also need him and see Kante as a very important player in the club and would need his services for the coming season. |

Vinicius junior is the next Ballon d'or player that will come from Brazil. I have watched him for sometime now, he was part to Benzema's goal contribution as they had good pairing and understanding. He has signed an extension to say he has come to stay and will fight to win the Ballon d'or at Real Madrid. Good one Mbappe bluffs off the move it has paved way for Vinicius junior to sign. El Classico will be superb one again soon.
Benzema is the Real Madrid player I think will be competing for the Ballon d'or. Vinicious Junior is a talented young player but he is not at that level yet, he has shown good character and winning mentality in past seasons. His contribution to the team is outstanding with his pace, dribbling ability and goal scoring, Real Madrid have a player for the future and If he continues with this form he will definitely be competing for the Ballon d'or in coming years. He will be a joy to watch next season. |

A few months ago, I made this post here. And after reading all of the suggestions, this is what my class did on the last week before the Salah break. I teach a class of forty students. To begin the class, I needed a projector, 10 computers and my personal computer to use as an example. I had to rent the computers for the day, that morning I downloaded Electrum wallet ( because it's my favorite) on all of the laptops and made sure the program ran smoothly on the PCs. All Good!!! The morning of the lesson, I divided the class into ten groups of four with each group having a laptop each. The 10 laptops were evenly placed across my classroom. I had the advantage to do this before the assembly meeting because I had the first period. We began the class with a little revision. We watched Bitcoin Q&A: How Do I Choose a Wallet? by Andreas Antonopoulos on the projector. The instructions for the exercise were as follows: 1. Create a personal wallet on Electrum 2. Write down your private keys 3. Each student is to decide how best to store their private keys 4. Sign/Verify a message with their address Observations The students were impressive, the exercise didn't take them long to complete. Some of my students who had taken a strong interest in bitcoin before the lesson were already familiar with Bitcoin wallets and had a very easy time using electrum. I observe they were not very secretive with your private keys - a point I will emphasize more on in our next class. Electrum wallet seem boring or should I say less colorful for them. I could see they enjoyed signing a message with their address, they had the same expression as when they first did "Hello world!" program on fortran. My only regret is the students didn't have the opportunity to o perform a real transaction with their new Bitcoin wallets. Unfortunately I don't have enough bitcoins to splash for them to practice how to send/receive Bitcoin. |

This is not how things work in the real world. You got cheated of $700, and paid only $300 you think the value is going to magically reflect in your $300? This reminds of bible story of Jesus feeding the multitude with five loaves of bread and two fishes.
Seriously. I think I understand what OP is trying to say, but if indeed I do it sounds very much like magical thinking--and I guess you could consider religion to be one of the most popular examples of that (and no doubt the most acceptable one). I don't believe in karma either. Why? Because really awful, nasty, evil human beings can become very successful in life and enjoy things others only dream of. Whether any of that makes them truly happy or not is up for debate, but the fact remains that if bad deeds equated with some supernatural retribution, I'm not buying it. Good people get screwed all the time. So I don't agree with OP's assertion that there's any special moral characteristic that can be attributed to money. Karma doesn't exist. The law of karma is fiction propagated by people who value superstition. The idea of karma is for countries that have poor system of government and use religion as an excuse to avoid accountability. I know the phrase too well "leave it for God", "God will judge", "God will provide". These are designed to manipulate people to accept a narrative that isn't true. |

Real Madrid have been outstanding for quite some years now, retaining dominance in the Champions league, all thanks to the quality players in the squad. With some of these players like Modric, Casemiro, Kroos and Bale and Marcelo leaving, new young players have to come in as replacements for these players. So far they already got replacement for their outstanding midfield trio who were the engine room of the team. The future looks secured already for them with the likes of Camavinga, Valverde, Tchouameni, Rodrygo and Vinicius.
