I think it's quite important knowing it enables EVM compability which means there's greater chance of integration for TON blockchain to all the already established dapps, no need to rewrite entirety of the code base just so a project can integrate to TON blockchain, it's the age of omni chain and I think any blockchain that aren't EVM compatible should implement EVM compability

I used TON quite frequently prominently stable transfers, never found issue with the scalability, but if TAC could bring integration to EVM based dapps, definitely a good thing

They probably will, I mean what project these days doesn't have TGE? Neon and Aurora that you mentioned have token so TAC will have high chance of issuing token based on that but I won't invest, not really fan of these kind of project.

That's good, and de bruyne said that he's also open for saudi move. De Bruyne could go there. But, only if Ittihad sends him a good offer and he is now open to any possibilities.

I think it's obvious. Losing one of the best talents will hurt Manchester City. It will also impact their domination in the Premier League. City can recruit a good AM to replace him, like Olmo from Leipzig. But, I think there's no guarantee Olmo will bring City to the top like de Bruyne did.
I would expect lack of creativity to happen with city. Lack of great attacking midfielder who can be as creative as him. Manchester city may be able to sign a new AM, but i think it's hard to find someone who can play as good as him.

I must emphasize that De bruyne has a very big impact to the manchester city. Also, he is having most contribution since manchester city was nothing in the EPL. Money can't guarantee city to get an attacking midfielder with the same quality as de bruyne.

The bots are indeed a problem but actually we've seen increase in adoption of crypto through this kind of method but my concern is that majority of them are adopting crypto not because they find use or try to invest in it but just short term hype revolving around the game that overpromise reward, that narrative doesn't feel right and most of them once faced with the reality of airdrop and its nature of uncertainty, they will be disappointed.

not to mention many of these telegram apps are heavily abstracting the use of blockchain and try to make it closer to privately owned app in term of user experience.

pretty much the whole thing about this telegram mining app if underdelivered their promise, will just try to form another prejudice toward crypto all over again so honestly sometime I also feels like these telegram crypto mining apps or something similar to be devaluing crypto for the reasons that already being elaborated by OP here.

I was hoping to see bitcoin price close around $62k but even that seem to be really hard, despite ETF inflow has been raking money around $294 million alone in 8th of july according to theblock eth inflow/outflow data and also the big player like black rock buying bitcoin by the hundred millions market still get pulled down again. People already learned to buy the dip but there's just as you said some entity trying to pull the market down trying to pull string behind the scene.

on the other hand ETH because of its ETF is still going strong but I expect it to be weak since the market trend and sentiment isn't that good.
really hoping that the bullrun isn't over yet here. Having the ATH just a little bit higher than previous one feels kinda incomplete.

Indeed the decentralized nature of bitcoin is also what makes it accessible by anyone around the globe without regional restriction.

so I do agree with your view that in some way, the decentralized technology of bitcoin is what really give it the strength to just outperform other assets honestly, I guess that's why some people call it revolutionary  .
but will still give the credit where its' due, there are authority/government that do the favour such as the el salvador government that really seems to be open to whole blockchain thing and cryptocurrency so it's not like government intervention is always bad, it depends. often time if the regulation is there to protect the crypto investor, it could also give good impression to crypto investment along the way strengthening the whole industry.

You need to be patient even when your futures or spot have unrealized PnL 

I think it's pretty important as well to add into your list because the reason some people might just go all-in with all their capital disregarding common sense is because they become tilted that they just decide to go big or go home due to getting tired of losing.
Have seen plenty of people doing exactly that honestly, and it's always the main reason why some people after losing in trading don't come back again to make up for their losses.
Many people also getting so scared with their investment when they see their portfolio is all red, but i've learnt first hand that sometime just wait it out to comeback in price again do wonders.

It also sometime requires us to expend capital to follow airdrop, more specifically the ones that got retroactive airdrop that requires interaction, not to mention most of airdrops right now are point based it literally incentivizes spending of bigger capital and bigger fee so the small shrimp will get nothing.
so aside from the fact that people will try whatever airdrop potential there is, they also will risk their money doing the airdrop, added with the fact that airdrop hunter are really vulnerable to getting their money stolen due to contract breach or scam project.

so in a nutshell, it just like any other ways of making money, which is risking our own money hoping there will be great benefit.

It depends heavily on what altcoin we are talking about though if it's a new project altcoin then sure enough they carried a lot more risk, the market still in price discovery therefore the price will be multiple folds more volatile compared to bitcoin but if it's just major altcoins ranked 5 and beyond, it's mostly following bitcoin pattern.



a brief glance towards chart above exactly reflect that ETH is quite similar in the chart movement compared to BTC, so really as lohng as we don't venture around investing in some shitcoin and instead stick with the best of the best 5 coins out there, we more or less gonna get the same result as holding BTC.

I think it will hugely depends on the future mt gox settlement of the distribution of credits, that will be the one that determine whether bitcoin gonna tank below $53k or not, because honestly speaking if it were to go down below that, i will be readying myself for the DCA.
the thing is, since government dumping has made quite the impact, people are hesitant to DCA or buy at current price, but at the same time, mt gox distribution which gonna takes 3 months, is distributed to individual, where each of them gonna make their choices, whether majority of them gonna dump, still yet to be seen, but knowing that they bought BTC at really low price, the chance of them dumping is quite high.

The transaction discovered by arkham intelligence which entire project focused on tracking the movement of bitcoin especially from the big whales, german government have massive amount of BTC will definitely catch their attention not to mention it's sending to exchange address.
regardless I agree, their government should've done better with selling through OTC instead of right on dumping in the exchange creating massive panic, they could've gotten better price too.
but unfortunately, the public already shaken by the news, so yeah the fear & greed index already at the level of fear.

Just make sure to never install shady app from whatever airdrop game is telling you to do always do a thorough research. typically visiting a website of these airdrops won't harm you, it will only harm you when you start installing app or randomly approving interaction to the smart contract.
one of the thing that scammers looking for to steal from you is your asset and that by telling you to approve token spending specifically ERC20 to their contract address which then they can use to drain you of all the token you have.

best course of action for this is by simply keep using new address for whatever airdrop you're doing,

The criticism makes sense. Bayern Munich signed Kompany as a new head coach. Look at the fact about how kompany has no good background as a coach, and he came from championship division club in england. It's hard to think positively about kompany's chance to succeed in bayern munich. People criticized bayern munich for their decision. Even some blamed this club.

Also, Bayern Munich always hired quality coaches. But, this is my first time to see them hire a coach without a strong background in coaching a big club like Bayern. This is a setback for the club.

Even I see it as a horrible decision by Bayern's officials, and it reduces Bayern's chance to win bundesliga title. And last, The coach they hired has little experience.

If this real, and that's gonna be arteta's last chance to compete with pep in the upcoming season. Pep stabbed Arteta's club at the end of season twice. Arteta obviously sees Pep as the biggest obstacle to winning the PL trophy. The nuance will be very different if arteta win PL trophy without beating city in pep's era.

Manchestes can hand him a new contract, but does pep want it?. Pep has clearly stated in the past that he would like to coach the national team before he retires.

Pep Guardiola was a key figure in City's success, as they won won so many trophies. He helped City dominate the Premier League. They even broke Fergie's record at Manchester United too.

City may be nothing if it won't be coached by guardiola.

It surprises me to see teams with worse attackers, like England and France, able to make the semis. I never saw entertaining games from france and england. It was very weird to see germany left from euro 2024 earlier than what i expected in the past.

That's really unpredictable about france reached semi final without even an open play goal. It's kinda crazy you know. France and England have the worst attackers. But, their defenders saved them from leaving the competition early.

And, this is hwo germany is now watching clubs with worst attackers qualified for semis.

A very good decision from juventus. Moises Kean is the worst attacker Juventus has ever owned. It's silly if Juventus keeps him for another season. Though he left Juventus for a very low price, it was worth it given his poor performance there.

Last season, kean performed so badly by playing 19 matches and he got zero goal. it's kinda weird to keep him for another season, and moises kean never make a good progress in juventus.

We can use the money from selling him to buy a quality striker. It is extra funds for juventus, and they can sign a better forwards. I'd be upset if juventus decides to keep him, but im happy by seeing him leave from old lady.

You should be careful with staking TIA. there will be token unlock amounts to more than 16% and it's probably the reason why TIA dumped so hard I literally lost 50% of my asset holding TIA for airdrop staking 



Whatever airdrop there is, if it requires tia staking, i don't think it will end well, already cut my lose with this one, and reposition.

currently most of the tia projects that requires tia staking already postponed to end of the year.

the price might bounce, but just going to give a head up.

as I've seen most of people using TRON for the stablecoin transfer, it excels only in that, but TON come up with its free fee stablecoin sending and beat TRON in no time now TRON is doing the same thing that TON is doing  .



literally this blockchain is just copying other blockchain's strategy and innovation, that's it. can't really say it's number 1 blockchain if what its doing is literally just copying LOL   .

so really nothing special about TRON not even deserve to be crowned as number 1 blockchain in my opinion.

If you don't place bet with real money I think its not gambling instead its just "playing game".

literally the adrenaline and entertainment coming from placing bet using money.

free game that you mentioned will definitely less exciting, it's basically like just playing game which essence is killing time, so logically its not as entertaining as the game that requires placing bets. I mean the fact that you don't stake anything mean whether you lose or win doesn't really affect you therefore it produces less excitement.

Murphy's statement makes sense. I was also concerned about how Mendes did not replace Ronaldo in the last game against France. Ronaldo did absolutely nothing. Mendes and Jota were at the bench. I though Mindes should give them a chance to play. But, it's absurd because of Mendes was always keeping Ronaldo to play.
Perhaps, Mendes may be doing it to honor Ronaldo. This was because  it's Ronaldo's last Euro with Portugal.

It's also very embarrassing to see how Ronaldo doesn't seem to realize if that damages his legacy more than failing to score or break new records.

Unfortunately some people just really got influenced by these success story with meme coin never knowing that there's actually deeper things behind the scene than just luckily buying some meme coin and become millionaire over night, therefore many newbies spiraled into doing their worst mistake ever, going all in to these random meme coins.

speaking from my experience, meme coin is just pump and dump game by the small whales, they can't manipulate the bigger market like altcoins with venture and investors backing let alone BTC and ETH so they settle with micro cap meme coin, but the play is always these whales and insiders buying meme coin the first second contract goes live, pump it to make it climbs up leaderboard in platform like dexscreener and then once there are enough liquidity coming from greedy newbies they dump. it's always like that

there are reasons why so many meme coin chart always ended up looking like this, exactly because that scheme I mentioned above.
