if you want to continue having fun betting at sportsbet.io and are keen on free bets, then i would like to recommend my bundesliga-pool to you. it is now open for the new 2024/25 season and registrations can be made as of now:
⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Bundesliga ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread 2024/2025
Wow @cygan ! Very nice layout and I would suggest everyone who never joined a pool on the forums to give it a try starting with this one as everything is very straight forward with this clean layout.

And it must be the first pool available from Sportsbet.io sponsorship inwhich the matches start before any other league.
I will give it a try as I haven't been in this German league of football before and am excited to use the new app that this pool offers at kicktipp.
Looks like they have a livebox too! Really cool looking features where we can all get predictions and even chat on during our matches.

Nicely done once again Cygan! Wink

People before are doubting on the intention of Trump for supporting bitcoin and many say that its just a political propaganda just to create a hype for his name.

Now that he select a VP which is bitcoiner then that tells everything that Trump is really serious on his bitcoin policy. Now with this tandem we can say that bitcoin would be good in USA. Also for sure those country who adopt bitcoin especially El Salvador will be happy with this development since provably they would earn huge benefits for US becoming a bitcoin or crypto friendly country. Imagine the exposure Bitcoins get for latest USA election this will be huge since it gets global exposure. Bitcoin future is really great with this developments happen.
Of course he would play this Trump Card so to gain supporters he wouldn't have had otherwise if he'd not said anything about bitcoin.
Do you think being one of the headliners at the Bitcoin Conference 2024 in Nashville was by fluke?

It is all planned out ahead of time because they have teams of people to watch the numbers on every keynote he mentions. And bitcoin was probably the one which had a spike when they looked at their hype-keyword meter of these speeches he had made in the past recent months.

Did you not see even Mark Zuckerberg has thrown his hat into supporting the Trump campaign with donations of that Meta money.
To the dismay of disgruntled stockholders for his formerly known as facebook company of social media.

But not only the next generations such as gen X or Z are using these games to make money.
But grown ups beyond their 40's are doing these sort of P2E games so to feed their families.
Which is kind of weird when you first hear about it.
This is not stable income for someone to rely on for their livelihood.
Wouldn't you who are reading and writing on this thread wholeheartedly agree with me on this or not?

Gaimin Gladiators posted a 33-minute win on red and 34-minute victory on green in the upper-bracket final.
Unfortunately @ralle14 it was a 2-0 win for the Gladiators.
They'll play the grand final against the winner of Sunday's early match between Liquid and Team Falcons, who emerged victorious in two contests on Saturday.

So this should make for a great Finals at the Riyadh masters tomorrow.
The winning team will get $1.5 million and 1,000 Esports World Cup team points, while the runner-up will get $800,000 and 600 Esports World Cup team points for the tournament.

Here are the odds for the qualifying after the end of FP3:

Source: https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/formula-1/formula-1/hungarian-grand-prix-2024-qualification/hungarian-grand-prix-2024-qualification-669a6c8486ef1700014930d2

My hands are just itching to bet on Norris to take pole.  He was great in FP2 and FP3 both. Just look at the odds, 1.99 for Norris and 3.00 for Verstappen. It's quite interesting right?

I have a feeling like Norris will take pole but Verstappen will be victorious at the end. Because Verstappen can't win for 2 races and Red Bull has a really improved car as I said earlier. I can't wait to watch the competition between the two again on Sunday.
It happened exactly how you foreseen it to be.
Norris was too strong for the rest of the field this rather wet day at Mogyoród on the Hungaroring!
Had McLaren taking pole today too and winning the race tomorrow.

Now it's getting interesting, I haven't seen this for a while:


McLaren is flying right now!

And as usual, Perez, god, I think that if we wouldn't be trying anything special at all and just go and not try a thing just drive he would be 100 times better, I don't know how much truth is in there but if he will be kept as a driver then it definitely might be indeed because of the money he bought from sponsorship, 4th time in 6 races, this looks really and for him.
Now with both Norris and Piasti in the front row I don't think they will let anyone especially Verstappen through. Not without Perez anywhere to be seen, so Red Bull are coming in handicap it seems.
https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-hungarian-gp-norris-leads-all-mclaren-front-row-after-late-q3-red-flag/10636699
If from what I had been seeing lately, Perez will probably end up on RB Visa App so he still has a seat for next season.

Practice 3 being the final practice session before the qualification race is starting in about 15 minutes.
The weather has been co-operating for this track in Budapest so far and many of the drivers are back to their normal running times.
Think even Leclerc managed to keep it on the track this time for the last session.

Perez seems to need to win the next two races according to a youtube podcast on F1 I was listening to before this race weekend began if he wants to definitely keep his seat from being snatched up by Lawson or Tsunoda on the off-season.

Great video to watch on his weak performance levels this season so far:

Seen this video around almost a week ago and it does seem that the Japanese are obsessed with Trump and his ideology more than their own people, if that is even possible. Just watch this short video to see what I mean.
It shows all the weird things you would expect from a Japanese theme park if you visited one of the many places in Japan.



here is the link to the full video. But get ready for it to get a little weird:

To the question: can you earn money playing video games? Yes, and at all income levels; micro, high, Hroller, it is not new and in fact, there are little-known niches in the crypto world, like Roblox, etc. where just by being a map creator, you can earn thousands of dollars.

The thing with the crypto world is that developers "fuck up" the ecosystem, when they sell, then they reinvent themselves, another game. Just do the right thing, these ecosystems do not depend on professional players, they depend on the millions of players who believe in making money in a few clicks.
Very true famososMuertos man!
But those who are in countries where playing a game as much as one can in a day is profitable to themselves and puts food on their families table, I don't think they really care about anything else but getting those rewards so they can cash in.
To me it is their fiat system that is F'd up if some company's tokenized rewards are worth more than working 8 hours per day at a regular 9-5 job to most of these places where it is more advantageous to them to be playing a mere video game instead.

Don't know if anybody has seen the 3D/AI generated video which was created two days ago (sat on this before releasing it due to youtube algorithm deleting views for some reason) of the incident which had been discussed about for a week already and even having the victim of it speaking publically about it during the last day of the convention for the first time.
So it should be alright to show it now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJId8hiZgGs

Bitcoin conference should have heavier security measures put in place so this never happens again.
Because the CIA secret service had a major fail befall them and are pointless if they can't do their job correctly even if it is a former president.
Since the speec at the RNC last night by Trump, bitcoin's price has risen overnight to $67,500.
You can not with a straight face say it was not this Trump Pump which caused it to rise by 6% within the past 24 hours since the convention's last speech by The Orange man! Grin
32  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Donald trump once a vocal critic of Bitcoin, Now Advocates for Digital 🤑🤑🤑... on: July 19, 2024, 06:39:39 PM
Trump doesn't care about things specifically. You must understand this of such a business man like this.
He only cares about things that can make him money!
With his hands in NFT & Memecoins such as this one:

Whether he created them or not.
They were made in his image and likeness.

So don't be surprised one day when he goes after the so called creators of these projects and takes them to court on copyright laws and files to get compensation from them.

It is America after all, where it is your right to sue someone if you feel your being taken advantage of for any reason whatsoever.

Thanks @legendbtc for that post.

It reminded me to query about by how much bitcoin's price had increased when Trump won the U.S Presidential election back in 2016?

Interesting chart on the comparisons to the current president in their election years when it comes to the economy:

Yes @notblox1 it will be another wet track in Budapest today with practice sessions beginning in the rain.

Shot from Wednesday which caused some damage to the side barriers of the track and winds that knocked over big screen to the ground. As well McLaren motorhome roof had been blown off so they just don't have any luck lately with that fire in Barcelona last month.

Here are the current odds for the race on Sunday with the winners market:

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. Petty boarish behavior is common for these lot. So nothing more to expect from such an interview really.

One a more important note which went on last night at the RNC 2024 convention the CEO of the UFC went on stage to give everyone a speech to never forget:

Dana White Introduces Donald Trump at 2024 RNC: Full Speech

Guy was on vacation with his wife in Italy but flew back to the US of A to do this for his friend of 25+ years.

We will never no, once the election is over, maybe they will have the majority of the Congress.

But we will see, Trump is now being called the crypto-President, so if ever he will win, we might see Bitcoin goes up, in short to long term.

Another good question though: What will voters value though? their political beliefs or Bitcoin?  Grin
Additionally, at least Trump is showing that he is serious about the crypto industry even if he faces opposition from Congress (if he is elected). That shows us that he wants to promote the development of cryptocurrency instead of suppressing it like the current government is doing. We really won't know what will happen in the future but what we need is a president who likes and supports cryptocurrency rather than a president who seeks to oppose it.

Answering your question: as a crypto investor, there is no reason for me to vote for the current government when they are so much against crypto rather than helping it develop.
Many followers of this thread from what I have seen posted about him not going to talk about bitcoin after the republican nomination forget he is to appear and scheduled to speak about his stance on bitcoin and what he plans to do once back in office:

37  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon musk is for crypto or just for attention to boost Tesla, SpaceX? on: July 18, 2024, 03:36:46 PM
After all, he is a businessman and profits are still his top priority so don't be surprised when he focuses on profits.
That is why Bitcoin adopters shouldn't be idolizing anyone. I saw some posts across the internet where people wished Elon Musk were invited to speak on Bitcoin Conference side by side with Trump (what is another ridiculous idea on my conception). Why do people behind this Conference need centralizing Bitcoin around some biased political figures? Bitcoin has come to balance things in favour of those who were disadvantaged regards financial world's opportunities in the past exactly because those figures exist and act the way they do.

Trump isn't concerned about Bitcoin giving more freedom to average people around the world. Elon Musk neither, it's all about profit and personal interests. If tomorrow they find out Bitcoin is uninteresting for their personal image, they are going to adopt an hostile stance towards it (once again, as it has already happened previously). So why are the common people who were benefited by Bitcoin concerned about raising the voices of Trump, Musk and such characters?

It's just ridiculous in my opinion... These people deserve being their sheep inside a centralized environment fully controlled by these landlords.
Never happen since Trump does not want to be seen by his large backers, think about what happened with FTX. Biden was never seen with Sam Bankman Fried in public. But people in his congress were, so after he was sentenced these pictures surfaced and backfired on him as President.
This is a business man and knows how influence all works and put it into his favor when wanting to spin a narrative.
It is common sense.

Watching the lately spot about Musk appearing on live tv this weekend for showing what all the hype is about and if he will actually have a mention of his favorite cryptocurrency doge, it seems the media are jumping all over this appearance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWWzszskgmA

What are your thoughts about this North American appearance and what do you think he will do or say about doge or even bitcoin?
I think since Miley Cyrus is the musical guest he will have her dress up as a dog and call her doge. Cheesy
She likes cats and had dressed up as them on stage during her concerts, so you never know what these two crazy people will do on this episode.
To be honest I doubt Elon Musk will mention much about cryptocurrency give the US Presidential Election is underway. Think about it, he is willing to commit $45m per month to an election candidate (Donald Trump). The last thing on his mind right now is pumping doge coin. Despite his jokes with doge coin though, I do believe he holds a lot of Bitcoin. He believes in the technology, but now is not the time he will be pushing it to the media.
He is playing it all out just as these CEOs of a large corporation always do.
Just look at his latest news of moving headquarters of Tesla to Texas:

Thanks once again for the info Cabron!
These guys would rather talk about softball and their daughters playing in their tournaments than this UFC ESPN 60/Fight Night Vegas 94 event it seemed.
It is the dog days of summer after all I believe. So after that couldn't watch the rest of the over 2 hours of them talking about an event most are not interested in to be honest.

Actually watched the MMA Guru yesterday and he had an interview with Paddy Pimlett.
That was very interesting to watch since he was getting a large amount of backlash for posting on his social media when England lost the finals of the Euro.
It was due to him having a bet on Spain so to have an excuse for doing that ahead of the Main Event happening in London within a few weeks.
These are the fights we as UFC fans are waiting for and not much interest in the UFC until then.

I have already written many times that it is somehow tragicomic that Bitcoin depends on one man and one country, and it should be decentralized. In the end, if the wishes of many come true, the US will have a monopoly on mining, trading with BTC through ETFs and CEXs, and will probably impose filtering of transactions on the good ones and the bad ones.



Can't wait to see the bitcoiner maga cult's opinion when they see the news that criminal Trump wants one of the biggest public haters of Bitcoin, Jamie Dimon, as his Treasury Secretary lol.
~snip~


Yesterday I actually heard that information on one of the US business TV programs and at first it seemed to me that I had heard wrongly, but then I remembered who was the Treasury Secretary in the last mandate - so I have no doubt that many important people in the Trump administration will be those who don't really like Bitcoin.
Elizabeth Warren is watching this and shaking in her boots.
All these senators who have been having their way in congress will all be nullified once the new administration comes in.
Could be these current "Crypto Donators" to the Trump Campaign are hoping that he will remember who funded him before getting back into office come November so when it comes to appointing a new faction into CFTC/SEC and Treasury Secretary (Jamie Dimon will need to change his tune from Davos quick if he wants to stay in his job there) Chairs, will see bitcoin and all other cryptocurrenies in good light.

Trump is really gunning for the bitcoiner vote. He'll all-but-assuredly be re-elected by this point, and after he is, I predict he'll never say another word about Bitcoin. The Federal Reserve - the true Masters of the Universe - won't let the president say anything that could potentially undermine the dollar; i.e. vouching for any other kind of currency. Instead you'll see more tweets like this from Trump's handlers:



He's just another politician doing politician things.
This man is all about money.
He lives, breathes and "your fired" when it comes to it.
Yes, I agree with your statement above. He is a real estate and oil kind of man.
Made of old money and that is what had made his empire. So why would give up on it for this new way economic freedom from all the old fiat vices that comes along with it?

That what comes when J.D Vance comes into the picture.
A Vice Presidential candidate who is all about technology and has worked for Peter Tiel who gave him his meager beginnings in Silicon Valley.
He holds more than $200,000usd in bitcoin at one time back in 2022. Which he probably has more in all his cryptocurrency holdings when it comes to Ethereum and NFTs.

Trump does want to start up another NFT which he plans to sell to his vast amount of supporters.
This will be his third NFT project.
