What made the second gold more memorable was that the Italian shared the gold with the Qatari and both were so happy (you should see the video).

I love this kind of sportsmanship so much:)
This attitude and sportsmanship was fantastic. This shows the greatness of the Olympic games by allowing this behavior.

And what also made the Italian player more emotional was the fact that if the Olympics had really happened last year he would not have participated, because of a foot problem. In this case he has to thank the late games.

I saw a lot of people at sports and at Olympics though is where you can really see most of the world. We see World Cup and other big tournaments but most of these are rich people OR working people who became rich. But in Olympics you also see real people. Even I saw chubby swimmers and school teachers but everyone of them is like us I guess this explains why we are so drawn to watching it.

Good feelings:)

Paid! Thanks for the invite hilariousandco, and to Sportsbet for supporting this thread. I believe I was in Top 5 for 1 or 2 weeks last season, but the more Tottenham tottered, the worse my position became. It was like,,, my soul was following my club:)

Seems more and more like Kane will not be there, so it will be different this season. I hope the 2020 winners perform badly this time;)
2003  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Idea of Bitcoin As A Religion on: August 03, 2021, 05:23:45 AM
Bitcoin is like a religion for me since I spend so much time thinking about it and hoping it will make my life better.  
Some people will say I worship my crypto since I talk about it so much like some people always talk about a god.

God will also punish you if you forget to worship him or if you do not keep the values that he asks you to though:) So Roger Ver and Craig Wright, if Bitcoin were a religion, should already be punished and gone to Bitcoin hell for committing apostacy of the highest:)

Luckily Bitcoin bible is less than 10 pages long;)

I feel you need to find yourself another sport to watch if you claim Rashford has failed in 2 seasons lol. I tell you and i repeat it to you that in the whole of EPL, No Left winger has a better stat than Marcus Rashford; Rashford had over 30 g+a in the league last season with a broken shoulder and bad ankle and you call him a failed winger ?

I am not a Manchester United fan but even I know Rashford is a great player. True,,, he was not able to deliver on some games, and in some matches he was a bad choice to put on the field but which great player cannot perform when he is dealing with injuries most of his playing time? I think the only mistake Ole make with him, is to play him when he is in real pain. Rashford himself is a pro which is why he chose to play on but sometimes as a coach you must make the decision for the player's own health. Good luck to him and get his injury dealt with.

He is a monster and a nice guy. I wish him all well.
2005  Economy / Economics / Re: Take a look at the future of Bitcoin from the gold standard system on: August 02, 2021, 10:17:19 AM
it can be said that bitcoin is almost a virtual gold that almost resembles gold with various forms of factors that exist, and one of them is the price that changes from time to time which makes bitcoin almost like gold, although it also has many the difference with gold we all know that gold is always used as a tool to store our assets very safely than to save money so many people prefer to save their money with gold assets

I really hope people can stop spewing lines they do not understand. When people referred to Bitcoin as digital gold, they did not call it virtual gold for one reason -- it is not gold, it only acts as a safe haven for some people,,, and it is digital. The differences are very attractive in that it is easily transportable,,, easily verifiable,,, easily liquid.

But the "weakness" is volatility. Price that changes from time to time? Have you even been looking at Bitcoin price charts?Smiley
2006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Olympics 2020/2021 : Discussion & Predictions on: August 02, 2021, 09:01:00 AM
I do hope that we will see a second and hopefully a third gold but given that their opponents are really good, I think that they will have a hard time fighting, I root more on Nesthy, if she continues her aggressive approach like what she did to Italy I think that she will be able to make it but she has to be careful because a counter could end everything for her.

I think I speak for everyone else even not from the same country to see repeated success for you guys,,, we had also a nice history in boxing previously with an unexpected silver medal but I was still too young to remember, or even really been interested in sports at the time. Good luck to you guys, I am sure you can get one more gold!
2007  Economy / Gambling / Re: Sportsbet.io - Main sponsor of Southampton FC on: August 02, 2021, 08:06:46 AM
Conference League is worst competition ever and nobody want's to waste time and play there, that makes it much harder to predict results and only bookmakers are happy with this.
Sometimes EUFA has nothing smart to do and they create experimental doomed stuff like this...
Well, technically speaking it is under champions league and europa league as we all know, so it is third tier, but I still feel like it means something to many clubs that participate. After all why would we want to have a game against Real Madrid when you can battle it out with 4th of Slovenian league or something?

I do not know who joins but it is obvious that teams who are getting bigger and bigger troubles trying to cope with other major champions league teams will end up in these leagues, even europa is not easy for some teams, even though there is a bigger chance there at least, which means that we should be focusing on third tier for lower level teams like my personal favorite team, we can't be good at all in champions league and we can never be good at europa neither, so this third tier could be bad football, but at least gives lower teams a chance to fight for a title in europe.

I will insert the meme here of someone who is being talked about but quietly looks away hehe.

Spurs plays in Conference league, our prize last season for finishing in our very bad spot,,, and I kind of agree in general with all that is being said but I think it is also unfair to say nobody wants to waste time. For most teams now in there it is their chance of their fans for first time to really enjoy a big campaign in Europe. I disagree it is bad football also I mean I have seen even bad football at Champions League:)
2008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 💰 Summer Tokyo 2020 💰 Discussion and bet thread 💰 Summer Game 💰 on: August 02, 2021, 06:05:15 AM
It was a historic day for Italy and probably perhaps the most exciting day at the summer games ever.
For the first time in history, an Italian reached the final in the hundred meters and even won the race by setting the Italian and European all-time record twice.
But not only this twenty minutes before another Italian managed to win the gold medal in the high jump.
Italians probably remembered this day even in a hundred years.

I saw all the memeplaces sharing all of the images and I instantly thought of you even though I was not really online much yesterday so a belated congratulations to you and all Italians. That was a fantastic feat.

What made the second gold more memorable was that the Italian shared the gold with the Qatari and both were so happy (you should see the video).

I love this kind of sportsmanship so much:)
2009  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Idea of Bitcoin As A Religion on: August 02, 2021, 04:45:40 AM
As much as I love Bitcoin man,,, I do not think anyone should turn to BTC as a savior, especially not when they feel like they got nothing else to turn to. Imagine all those people yesterday who thought this was going to be the break out and today they are dealing with prices below 40k again. Immediate 5% loss? BTC is always going to do well in longterm but as a "god" it cannot be relied on:)
2010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: July 31, 2021, 01:18:50 PM
I really feel bad for all these young talents and he is not the only one. He was the star player at Ajax but there were also other superstars I argue are even bigger, at least 2 I can remember who went to Chelsea and also almost did not play anything sometimes not even on the bench. I remember not one single guy scored more than 10 goals at Chelsea and they had top strikers from US and Germany
Ziyech did not have good first season in Chelsea and he used to be a very important player in Ajax. He together with de Beek and de Jong made a very strong midfield area for Ajax and brought that club to Champions League semi final.

Premier League is not an easy league to adapt to for newcomers. No matter how talented they are.

Yes, sometimes people say it is overrated but the statistics themselves show you it is not,,, from the amount of running and the amount of tackling especially English game is a lot more physical and demanding than other leagues and the first thing that shows for new players is their lack of fitness. I guess in Netherlands league they are more relaxed and people are more free to play creatively but in England you get chopped down for that:)
2011  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cars That Can Be Purchased with Bitcoin on: July 31, 2021, 12:08:29 PM
Right,,, so name me one country where you can buy all cars with Bitcoin, except El Salvador,,,
You can't buy a car with Bitcoin in El Salvador just yet. It is true that El Salvador has decided to make bitcoin legal tender, but that won't come into affect before September according to many sources I remember reporting about the country's crypto adoption. This is an experiment and if it's proven to be successful, I am sure many other nations will follow suit.

So there it is,,, you still cannot buy a car in the one country that has made it possible to do so for everyone. And this is what I mean,,, even with full regulations there are still missing two crucial ingredients to make this sort of thing possible. 1st the facilities to make such payments and 2nd the ability of regular consumers to be earning Bitcoin.

By the way, is it only the gold medals that decide the country who wins Olympics?

Not exactly! In fact, there is no country that wins the Olympics.

But, the table is organized based on the gold medals, as they are the most important.

Oh I see,,, I did not realize this I thought there was like a big winner every Olympics but you are right I looked in news for the past and this is all just team/individual contests with no country grand prize winner he:)

US still lagging behind and still having the most silver!

who would have thought you can see Bitcoin logo on every player and billboard in a english premier league stadium?Smiley
This is not entirely true, because as far as I understand, players can wear T-shirts with the Sportsbet logo only for home matches or for matches within the national league. In fact, if some of the sponsored Sportsbet teams play in Germany, Switzerland, Ru, etc., then the players will have to wear T-shirts without their sponsor's logo, (in some countries online betting advertising is prohibited).

In addition, as sad as it may sound, it is likely that this is the last season for Sportsbet as a sponsor of the Premier League teams. "At the beginning of 2021, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a likely ban on advertising of bookmakers on the sports uniforms of football clubs in the EPL".


Interesting, and yes,,, I was aware of the restrictions on the player jerseys but I do remember watching Watford matches on TV and all the players had Bitcoin logo plus you could see the same Bitcoin logo on billboards the whole game

Again,,, I am talking about Bitcoin logo, not Sportsbet logo which are not the same thing:) Bitcoin logo is not even commercial:)

Who knows, people will remember Bitcoin logo in some way and keep it there?Smiley I do not think Boris knows how hard it will be for sponsorships. They allowed Chinese bookies for a long time this is different.
2014  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Speculators have a lot of "enemies", many of which come from themselves on: July 30, 2021, 04:47:40 PM
Speculators are like those people you come across in normal life,,, they get in something, find it so cool and tell everyone about it. Like hey I am into crypto or I am a Bitcoin investor wow.

And then when things go well they take full credit. When things do not,,, they blame everyone and anything except themselves.

To the moon, speculators:)
2015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: July 30, 2021, 12:58:23 PM
There will be a question on what will Solskjaer do with Van de Beek this season either he give him more time or will he keep him out of the squad for most of the periods?
He transformed from main player a in Ajax to a seat warmer on the bench between him and the nearest supporter, a distance of only two meters.
This player was not brought to an end, but was at the height of giving.
It is true that the coach's choices do not interfere with them, especially when they give a result, but Van de Beek He never had the opportunity to adapt, and he might get a a chance in a match and not offer anything.
I don't think the player knows that he is in the ranks of United. He needs to be  running with the flow this year the only thing will get him those chances if Pogba gets sold this summer which is possible given his situation.

I really feel bad for all these young talents and he is not the only one. He was the star player at Ajax but there were also other superstars I argue are even bigger, at least 2 I can remember who went to Chelsea and also almost did not play anything sometimes not even on the bench. I remember not one single guy scored more than 10 goals at Chelsea and they had top strikers from US and Germany.

Bad choices? Haaland I guess making right choices so far.
2016  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Amazon Bitcoin Poll on: July 30, 2021, 12:27:29 PM
I'm sorry, what are you trying to point out?

Let me explain again in summary. It seems you do not understand people think different about Bitcoin.

1> You think Amazon has everything to gain from adding Bitcoin and nothing to lose. Only a Bitcoin supporter like you and like me thinks like this. Board members and shareholders who together make a successful business as big as Amazon will never think like this.

2> Yes Bezos became successful by becoming harsh. Please Google Amazon work practice but here is one sample report for you: https://www.ethicalconsumer.org/company-profile/amazoncom-inc

3> And this was my point exactly that he does not dictate Amazon,,, you misunderstood me. I said "Bezos he cannot be telling Amazon to do".
2017  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cars That Can Be Purchased with Bitcoin on: July 30, 2021, 12:02:03 PM
in certain countries indeed all types of cars can be bought with bitcoin, because in certain countries already know about bitcoin and the price of bitcoin, but there are some countries don't buy a car with bitcoin, exchanging bitcoin to fiat currency is difficult, that's how I feel at my country,, because the government in my country still forbids bitcoin in my country..

Right,,, so name me one country where you can buy all cars with Bitcoin, except El Salvador,,, which I am still not sure anyone can pay a car dealer in Bitcoin even though the law now allows it!

I mean sure it is a nice dream to have but let us be real and accept that this dream is still just yet a dream.
2018  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 2011 Bitcoin rejected person reaction on 2021 on: July 30, 2021, 10:00:35 AM
Can you imagine his feelings right now.

I can only partly imagine that kind of feelings and I'll tell you why.
There were plenty of opportunities in bitcoin. Ok, he missed one. Or two. Or three. But missing them all is something I cannot understand.
I could have bought good amounts at 200-250$ and I didn't. That's the train I've missed. But since then I've earned some more. Of course, I made other mistake too: I've sold now and then, or bought things for bitcoin.

If I look back, yeah, I probably could be kinda rich now if I wouldn't have made those mistakes. But dead inside? No. Life goes on and I hope that what I have and what I will gather will help me with an easier retirement in some more years.

Poor guy,,, but yes he should know also that a lot of people missed opportunities he is not the only one. No shame to be wrong. And look at Elon even he admitted he was late to the game but he got in anyway. MicroStrategy got in also. So we can all still get in and wait for a new next cycle,,, no use being sad about the past and just get in now so you do not add more regret:)
2019  Economy / Gambling / Re: Sportsbet.io - Main sponsor of Southampton FC on: July 30, 2021, 08:04:50 AM
I am stuck up on that betting part and want to include it but can't get it in two words. Best I managed to came up with would be.
Crypto bookie showdown/derby/clash.

Name is not so important, the important thing is that it will happen Smiley Who would have thought we will have two crypto bookies sponsoring Premier League clubs a couple of years ago.

And maybe the betting part is not as important or identifiable by people anyway, but the crypto is. Although I am not so sure what Stake position is on crypto but Sportsbet even have Bitcoin logo on jerseys which has nothing related to Sportsbet and is just all about an adoption thing:)

Yes, US has a history of harvesting golds in the short distances, the only competition they have in both mens and womens are the Jamaican runners, but it seems that Great Britain is good as well in this current Olympics.

It's going to be close for the US, but yeah, possible that they can land on the Top 3 and wouldn't be surprised if they will have a final push in the medal standing as more sports discipline will be favourable to them before the end of the Olympics.

Very many medals the day before yesterday in the total count tally but I think winning silvers and bronzes really hurt them as US still have the most medals but not the most gold,,,  mean right now they have 9 more silvers than China, so very close calls for sure.

By the way, is it only the gold medals that decide the country who wins Olympics?
