Atletico Madrid - Manchester United could be a really interesting matchup. Because there is not a big difference between them now in terms of strength. Atletico Madrid are very experienced when it comes to defending their opponents in critical matches. But they haven't been playing like themselves recently. They are in a really bad shape now as they have a losing streak of three matches in the La Liga. And Manchester United are on the rise by Rangnick's arrival. But their performance is still not too impressive. In this case, we can watch very competitive matches here. But in my opinion, Manchester United are still stronger than Atletico Madrid now and they can advance to the next round if we don't see big changes.

I agree here. At least on paper this of probably the closest matchup in the round of the last 16 of the champions league. Both teams are not in the best shape at the moment but that does not necessarily mean that much when it comes to such important knock out games. If Manchester United would have not changed their coach then Atletico would definitely be the favorite here for me, but now with Rangnick i think the odds have changed a little bit. For me he is one of the best coaches in Europe and even back in the late 1990#s the teams of Rangnick already played pressing and they already covered the space instead of fixed players.
2022  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Metaverse - Wait a minute? on: December 20, 2021, 02:18:19 PM
Hey guys!

the Metaverse announced by the Reptiloid Mark Zuckerberg  doesn't exists in any form right now? Correct?
What exists are fully independet projects, like Decentraland.

All in all they have nothing to do with Facebook Meta and are simply standalone "games" which try to profit from the hype?
Isn't metaverse simply used here in the context of "sandbox game" or "open world"?

Or am I missing a link?

Thank you guys!


I think facebook just named their company Meta now and that does not have much to do with the metaverse projects on the blockchain at the moment, maybe it is a hint that facebook wants to go in that direction in the future but as far as i know there is nothing confirmed about that yet. I define a metaverse as an alternative universe that is not the reality, but where real brands and people and other goods can be traded or viewed etc. For example a big company could buy real estate within a metaverse and there it could advertise their new products to everyone that is visiting that metaverse and therefore maybe increase their sales in reality.

Freiburg beat Leverkusen 2-1. I expected Leverkusen to win. Freiburg is a team that had to fight hard to stay in the top 10 of the points table. But Freiburg now ranks third in the points table. Their performance surprised me a lot. Freiburg's performance in today's match was excellent. They have been able to attack a lot, Leverkusen only resisted the attack today.

Especially in the first half Freiburg was by far the better team and completely dominated Leverkusen and Freiburg had a lot of chances to score early in the game. Then Leverkusen managed to score a pretty lucky equalizer right before the half-time break and i really expected that Leverkusen would dominated the second half because of that psychological advantage, but the second half was pretty boring to be honest and there were almost no real chances until Freiburg managed to score pretty much out of nowhere pretty late in the game. Overall i would say that the victory of Freiburg was deserved and with that they played their most successful first half of the season ever.
2024  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there a token on Bsc that isn' t a scam? on: December 19, 2021, 05:36:45 PM
My question is: is there some token on bsc that isn' t pumped for bull trap?

Of course there are also a lot of token that are running on the BSC-chain that are not a scam. I think that most big and successful projects nowadays are live on at least 2 chains for example ETH and BSC or Polygon and BSC just take for example USDC or USDT, those are definitely not scam tokens (well no one knows if every USDT is still backed by a real USD but that another topic). What is true of course is that fact that the token generation on the BSC chain is just much cheaper than on ETH for example, therefore all those useless meme-coins or sh*t-coins are most of the time created on the BSC chain, but that is not really the fault of BSC itself.

Bayern Munich are getting close to the championship step by step every week. As long as Dortmund can't do anything to prevent the gap from being opened and close it, Bayern Munich would have another easy title. I know that it is early to talk about but the gap is already nine points. Because Dortmund lost to Hertha too while Bayern Munich were ending Wolfsburg. Dortmund's inconsistency is lowering my hopes about them to keep up with Bayern Munich till the end.

In my opinion Dortmund does simply not have the quality to really challenge Bayern Munich for the title in the long run. In the end Dortmund is only a Tier 2 club in Europe which was very obvious again this season in the group stage of the champions league.. they had a very easy group with Ajax, Sporting and Besiktas. They should have won that group but they only managed to get the 3rd place. It's also not that easy to change something about that for Dortmund, they don't get top tier players so they are always trying to get very young talents and players that did not perform at other clubs. The problem is, if the talents are playing well they will leave the club soon like Sancho and soon Haaland and Bellingham and if they don't perform, they stay at Dortmund.
2026  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I have been scammed in pancackeswap telegram group on: December 19, 2021, 12:24:11 PM
Dear community. Has this also happened to anyone? I was trying to connect my trust wallet to  pancackeswap but it return error every time. Then I went to pancackeswap website and clicked a link to their telegram group and joined. I immediately received a phone call and I explained my problem. I was sent a link to troubleshoot the problem: www.app.walletimports.com and followed the procedure. I didn't know it was stealing my secret  key because I believed that pancackeswap is a reputable company. They stole my 0.055 BNB. Be careful with that telegram group.

I don't know if you just mispelled it here in this post but you are writing pancakeswap with an addition "k" so you wrote "pancackswap" this could have also been the reason why you have been scammed or why you landed on the wrong website when you tried to connect your wallet. I can imagine that this is all part of the scam system. You go to the wrong website then of course your wallet connect doesn't work then you get a message that you need to join the "scam" telegram group and in this telegram group it says that you need to contact the phone support which tells you to do stuff so they get your tokens.

Meanwhile Dortmund doesn't look good against Hertha. If they lose it'll be 9 points between 1st and 2nd...

Hertha really managed to turn that game around against Dortmund in the second half and won it with 3-2 in the end. In the second half the Dortmund players were not really on the pitch at all and only when Hertha scored the 3-1 the dortmund players kinda woke up again which was pretty weird. Dortmund somehow managed to score the 3-2 pretty much out of nowhere in the 83. minute and then in the end the game was pretty close again but Hertha managed to secure the win. Dortmund is now 9 points behind Bayern Munich and i guess the race for the title of the bundesliga champion is pretty much over now.
2028  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: bsc gas fees on: December 18, 2021, 07:19:20 PM
I have some safenoon I bought at its peek sitting in my Metamask learned about bscprojects.live and though about investing. Risky yes but it wasnt much safemoon and wanted to try the platform.
I attempted to get up the funds and thought it went through but doesnt appear to have also when I go to try again I am told gas fees are 0.024635BNB which seems high. Like one of the main selling points behind bsc chain was low gas fees. Is this a normal amount to pay

I personally never experienced transfers fees that high on the binance smart chain yet. 0.025 bnb are around 13$ which is already quite a big amount, of course nowhere near the amounts that we sometime have to pay if we send something on the ethereum network but still too high. I would guess the reasons for the high transfer fees on the bsc chain are quite simple and the same as in the ETH chain, the network is just to congested with to many transactions and swaps going on at the same time. In the last few weeks and months a lot of projects switched from ETH to BSC and new projects often launch on the BSC chain and we are now seeing that impact.
2029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Darts] 2022 PDC World Darts Championship 🎯 on: December 18, 2021, 12:03:56 PM
A thread regarding darts is definitely a good idea here because betting on matches has a very long tradition in darts. I am not really sure on which player i would bet at the moment to win the championship. It is definitely not the same as a few years ago where Van Gerwen was probably the biggest favorite by far for every title. I would say the best chances of winning the title has Gerwyn Price but that does not mean that i expect him to win it. Van Gerwen was also playing better again in the last few weeks and he can beat everyone if he is feeling good. The same is true for Gary Anderson and Peter Wright.

WHY ARE ETHEREUM GAS FEES RIDICULOUSLY HIGH?

I was about making a withdrawal transaction some time ago on the ethereum chain, and the service fee was approximately the amount of the withdrawal I wanted to make.
Is this normal or was the platform dubious?

If you tried to make the withdrawal a few weeks ago or so then you should probably try the withdrawal again now, because in the last few weeks the ETH transaction fees came down quite a bit from around 150 gwei on average to now around 50 gwei. If you are withdrawing from an exchange then of course you have to wait until the exchange is adjusting the fees because that does usually not happen automatically. To your question: Sadly it was the normal case for the biggest part of the lats few months that the Ethereum chain was basically not usable for normal or small investors because the gas fees were higher then the worth of the transaction.
2031  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage! on: December 17, 2021, 02:03:03 PM
Past achievements are worthless, so they can be ignored. This season, Simeone received the world's strongest (as it seemed at the beginning of the season) bunch of strikers Suarez + Greenzman, and how did he dispose of it? Atlético continued to play tedious defensive football, which yielded mediocre results all season (they miraculously got into the Champions League playoffs and their position in La Liga is weak). What is the likelihood that Simeone will be able to radically change something? Historically, I see that it is very small. What is the likelihood that a great team (in composition) will finally start to play well? Much more since real changes are taking place in United (for example, a change of coach).
Atletico's defense is quite strong. Besides that, the counter-attack by Diego Simoeone's team is also very dangerous because they always counterattack quickly so MU must be vigilant.
but maybe if compared to Atletico's performance is better than MU at this time depending on how Rangnick can mix something new or not now because the possibility of MU will lose is quite large

Even in the Spanish championship, Atletico concedes more than one goal in one game - this season their main feature (defense) is not yet as good as usual. In the Champions League, they conceded 5 goals in two matches with Liverpool, United are certainly far from Liverpool's effectiveness in attack at the moment, but we can see the "strength" of Atlético in defense from these results.

It is true that Atletico might not look as good at the moment or in this season in general as they did in the last few years. As a bayern supporter i was still very happy as i heard that the drawing of the knock out stage had to be repeated as bayern had to face Atletico at that point  Smiley. I was hoping that Bayern could avoid Chelsea and Atletico...PSG would have also been a tough draw but i definitley would have picked Paris as Bayerns opponent over Atletico if i had to choose. Atletico under Diego Simeone is always extremely hard to play against, especially in knock out games because his players are extremely motivated and they don't hesitate to do nasty and illegal stuff too in order to win.
2032  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ELON MUSK BECOME AN INFLUENCER on: December 17, 2021, 01:45:54 PM
Hi everyone, I really need to know your opinion about the tweet from A Dogecoin and Tesla LORD, Elon Musk.
He said that he thought about quitting as  a CEO and become an influencer, Full time.
Can some one tell me your opinion about this, it can be from crypto side, or another.

I need that because usually Elon Musk tweet and his actions so far, cause anything significantly, e.g. SHIB & Dogecoin. So, If we know what'll be happen in the future, We can start earlier to invest right now

I am pretty sure that he was just making fun. Why would someone that has a real impact on the technical developments that may make the world a little bit more healthier or more exciting quit his job and become just another influencer. He is just kidding. Also i think influencers are not that good for the crypto market. I am part of a few launchpads and therefore i invested in a few private sales and my experience with influencers in the crypto space are not that positive. They shill the tokens that they have invested in..then on the day of distribution they want their tokens a few minutes earlier than the rest so they can dump.
2033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 17, 2021, 08:54:41 AM
Last year Harry Kane as priority by Manchester City and he begin in this season with bad performance, not any contribution for his team and scored one goal only. I think Manchester City will not interested again with Harry Kane because he not has top performance like last season where become top scorer and created many goal. Bad decision by Tottenham Hotspur when Harry Kane has good performance not selling and now situation have change.
that's right, it's a loss for spurs not to selling him when in good form because holding kane longer isn't good if mentally frustrated at spurs.
harry kane's contribution this season has fallen far if spurs intend to sell kane now i think the price is much lower than last year.
And seeing Haaland's performance, it's not surprising that City has turned its attention and changed its buying priorities, unless kane and spurs are willing to sell at a low price.
Many club made the same mistake like Spur not for sell their player on top performance, maybe if try sell on January when window transfer open Manchester City will not ask with the same value last window transfer, they will pay under 50% and better for them get Haaland still young age than Harry Kane, big mistake and always have many club not selling their player when have top performance.

It is never good to force a player to stay at a club that he don't wants to be at anymore because it has several negative aspects. First of all the player is probably not happy at all and for a good performance on the pitch a players needs to have a positive attitude, confidence and a focus on the game. Secondly the relationship to the fans is probably destroyed or at least harmed, i don't follow the english premier league that closely but i could imagine that Kane is not cheered on that much as he was before that drama. And another point is that the club, Tottenham, probably won't get as much money now for Kane as they would have get back in the summer.
2034  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: TOP 5 CRYPTO LAUNCH PADS on: December 17, 2021, 08:50:37 AM
Here’s the simple truth about investing in crypto projects: if you could participate in the most promising projects from the start, you’ll win big. However, finding the right projects when they are still in their infancy can be challenging.
Cryptocurrency launch pads make it easy for investors to invest in promising projects before their tokens are released to the public.


From the launchpads that you have listed i only know Polkastarter which is also one of the first launchpads that appeared as far as i know of. Personally i am also part of 2 Launchpads namely DuckDao and Poolz and i am quite happy with those two. It is almost impossible to join every launchpad because they all have like entry fees or tiers so that would be extremely expensive. DuckDao is around since August 2020 and there you can also get access to private Sale allocations of projects which have a better price then the IDO or public sale rounds but also a vesting schedule of course. So far i am well in the profit zone even though my Portfolio value was like 80% higher in the beginning of may this year.

^  RBR took over the works premises where they build and develop the engines, including all the engineers and other key staff who work in it afaik.  So it’s not like they’re going to be ‘lost’ in building and developing the engines.  It’s really a serious attempt from RBR to be an engineering and tech company.  It’s a total 180 from just being a team in F1 to advertise energy drinks.

Red bull has become so famous because they started to massively sponsor Athlete in almost every Sport there is a long time ago already. As far as i know they are the main sponsor of at least 3 football (soccer) clubs with salzburg, Leipzig and New York but i would guess that their own F1 team is by far the biggest Marketing expense of Red bull. F1 teams spend around 100 to 400 million € per year and i highly doubt that Red Bull is selling that much more energy drinks to make up for that.

I voted for FIAT profits. I mainly invest into new and upcoming projects and for that i am part of 2 launchpads. Even though i can only invest small amounts, because (i am no crypto Veteran that has a few BTC or Eth laying around from a few years ago and therefore every crypto investment that i make comes from my Bank account), i am still in the profit zone at the moment, even though my portfolio is like 80% down from it's ATH from back in may this year.
2037  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 16, 2021, 06:58:50 AM
Dortmund got an easy victory today against Greuther Furth. It was a 3-0 victory and Haaland scored two goals. Haaland is still destroying their opponents one by one and maintains the rivalry between him and Lewandowski for being the top scorer. Haaland is a very special striker and I would really like to see him ending the season as the top scorer in the Bundesliga.

Hmm i watched this match and i have to say that it did not look that easy for Dortmund for a very long time. When they were 1-0 up there was even a period where Fürth was pretty close to score the equalizer and you could even hear their own fans booing at the Dortmund players. Once the second goal for Dortmund happened the game was over though.
Also another loss for Mönchengladbach and i am pretty sure the officials are already discussing about the future of the coach.

At about 12:00 UTC today, Elon declared that Tesla will start accepting Doge for merch payments

So this was probably the reason why the price of dogecoin was rising a little while all the other coins were dumping a few days ago. An announcement of one of the most famous and influential people in the world simply still has some impact. Dogecoin is only accepted for merch payments though, so the news are not that big. Tesla was already accepting BTC as payments for their cars before but then they took back this decision because of environmental reasons.

Seemingly, Newcastle have already started making enquiries about the Tottenham attacking midfielder Dele Alli. They seem like they want to make decent transfers in the coming transfer window already. But they should look for better players too. Dele Alli is a decent one but maybe he can have some adaptation problems for some time. He didn't play in Tottenham's starting eleven too much lately.

https://www.teamtalk.com/newcastle-united/exclusive-toon-contact-dele-alli-over-deal-but-want-clause-included

I think it would be a smart startegy of Newcastle to invest their money wisely and not just throw around their millions without any reason and sense just to assemble a squad of stars (probably old stars) that are not really a team and therefore won't ever be able to perform on the highest level. Just look at PSG now that they have Messi, Neymar and Mbappe they are probably playing worse than last season because none of those 3 players is doing anything for the defense.
It makes sense for me to get players like Dele Alli to newcastle, he is a good player and he knows the english Premiere League very well, which is important. You need a a homogeneous team of good players not an assembly of stars.
2040  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My coins percentage down on: December 15, 2021, 02:18:00 PM
Even though the entire cryptocurrency and none crypto assets on the stock market price are down currently but the level at which my various altcoins portfolio crashed backward baffles me, please can anyone explain for me how the altcoins market works.

I know your feeling. The sad truth is, that if Bitcoin and Ethereum are dumping then all the other coins and especially smaller projects dump even harder than the big ones. This has always been the case as long as i have followed the crypto market since 2017. My Portfolio consists mainly of projects that are new and therefore it took a massive hit back in May this year and it wenn down more than 90% or so. With the recent dump of the market i am at around 20% of it's ATH Value back in the beginning of May. Once the market recovers and BTC and ETH beging to climb it usually takes a while until the smaller cap projects are rising too.
