At first, when I read the "subject" of this thread... I thought it might be older transactions...from the early days.... but I checked out the transaction and it was done on the 8th of January 2023. So someone send $75,424.64 worth of bitcoins to Satoshi's Genesis block. The only logical reason for this in my mind, is this : The person must have made huge profits from Satoshi's technology... and he or she wants to show their appreciation to Satoshi for this. (Even though Satoshi has never used any of his coins and will most probably never spend the 4 bitcoins that was send to that address) It is thus only a gesture to make a statement .....and not anything to do with the monetary value of those coins. (In a few years... those coins might rise to the Lazlo pizza level ....and people will make fun of this)  A guess that fits what I think is your statement. That person made a huge profit from Bitcoins and to show his gratitude he sent Bitcoins for free to the creator's wallet. Rather than that maybe as a form of gratitude for what he achieved from Bitcoin. This is not a mistake, but rather a way of expressing gratitude. Whoever the person was and who knows what's behind the reason, he really did it in a way that was beyond anyone's expectations, no one thought he would think in that direction. |

And again, it just shows how BTC is so resilient, just a month or two ago, we hit lowest low because of the FTX drama and collapse. And now for the past 8 days, we are in a huge rally capping it yesterday with a huge +4% increased. So it means it doesn't give a f**k about what had happen to us, hehehe. And those who are shorting BTC in exchanges are really getting smoke almost $100 million as per this tweet. https://twitter.com/mskvsk/status/1613321293214126081It seems that many people are getting excited about the growth of bitcoin in the past 2 days but forget to watch out for this could be a trap. A 4% gain may be huge for another asset, but for bitcoin, it is nothing, even if a negative news spreads, it can drop 10% in 1 hour. What is happening is said to be impacted by today's CPI predictions, and if CPI is released as predicted, I believe bitcoin will go even higher. But if the CPI is not as low as forecast, the market will quickly turn negative. We still need to remain vigilant. A few days after the thread the OP made showed Bitcoin at $17K and now the official CPI announcement was released we have positive news with Bitcoin rising to over $18K. Certainly, this is a belief that earlier this year has moved more aggressively which makes long-term investors more confident. Plus some institutional investors see Bitcoin as a suitable alternative in 2023. Even the price to close this month is still long enough that Bitcoin will certainly show additional gains. |

Real Madrid linked to Harry Kane this rumour appears several times even since last year but unfortunately Real Madrid was never officially bid him and indeed Tottenham want 100 millions euro to those who want to bought him but i personally very doubt Real Madrid are willing to pay according to the price and not because Madrid doesn't have money because i am sure money isn't problem for them but with his current age i don't think Kane will be good choice especially Madrid never give top priority to the players who are over 30 years old and i personally predict this transfer will not gonna happend because Real Madrid will more likely to buy young players to build their squad for the future instead of Kane
I totally agree with you, indeed now Real Madrid tends to prefer talented young players rather than having to waste large amounts of money on just one player. It is undeniable that in the past few years Real Madrid has started to carry out coaching projects for young players and the results are now starting to be seen how they navigate various competitions with almost 80% of their squad consisting of young talents. So it seems that Harry Kane to Real Madrid rumors will never happen at all. Instead of buying players who are no longer productive with the end of Harry Kane, it might be better to buy young players who are actually more profitable in the long term. I'm sure Madrid will not be interested in paying those 100 Million Euros, this has always been shown by the Madrid manager who has long enough goals so that instead of signing Harry Kane they have had enough of the players they currently have. |

In the Carabao Cup match, in fact, Man City had to submit with a score of 2 goals from Southampton, even though statistically Man City was declared superior. Southampton's players only had a few chances and no more shots on target than Man City. Maybe this will be a reference for Erik Ten Hag in hosting Man City at Old Trafford later. At least with a strategy that can be said to be able to shut down the movement of Haaland and friends like what Southampton did.

Addiction doesn't side with anyone, whether you are rich or not, when you have the intention to pursue victory in gambling, it will definitely make you regret it. It should be noted that self-control in gambling is only for those who are able to control their ambition not to chase victory. However, it cannot be denied that the pursuit of victory in gambling always comes unnoticed and applies to anyone.
Regarding the use of funds, investors hoping to get a double win instead fall on the verge of a big loss. I think his addiction was quite severe because he had the courage to use the funds of investors who put their hope and trust in him. In the future, I am sure that DNP3 will not gain the trust of anyone to manage finances.

Manchester city VS Manchester united match on Saturday January 14th will determine how strong Manchester united are in this season, because they have proven to their fans that they are able to achieve this season title by defeating many teams to around at this stage. But it will be difficult for Manchester united to achieve victory from this match, because Manchester city will never allow any mistake to happen that will make the match to end up draw 1-1. Haaland will definitely achieve goals that will bring success to Manchester city in this match, because he has the capacity to make things work for the favour of the team.
The difference that Man United can see is after the world cup, but is that enough to silence Man City game at home? Even though Erik Ten Hag's troops played at Old Trafford, that didn't mean that it made Man City feel underdog. Because Pep Guardiola still has a dangerous squad like the last time they played. For now it can be said that the results may be unexpected, it's just that the possibility of winning is slim if Man United's back line is able to guard the movements of Haaland, Mahrez, Kevin, Foden, and Grealish. So the point is that it depends on how solid Man United's defense and midfield are in anticipating the movement of these players. |

Jaou Felix Is a 23-year-old player in the laliga this season he scored 4 goals 3 assists from 14 matches. So far this has been pretty good, everyone hopes that Jaou Felix will make a very good contribution as an attacker and be able to score goals in Chelsea matches.
Chelsea needs a striker, who can score goals. Felix is a talented player, but he doesn't score a lot of goals. Also paying 11 million euro for a player, that will stay in the team for about 4 months seems stupid. Felix probably won't have enough time to adapt to the English football. Chelsea is making so many costly transfer mistakes, after buying Fofana for 70 million and Marc Cucurella for 56 million pounds. It seems that the new Chelsea owner is printing money.  The blue team from London acts really desperate on the transfer market. The best transfer for Chelsea would be singing a new manager and replacing Graham Potter. Agree, the duration he had at Chelsea was definitely not enough time to adapt really easily. I think since it was inaugurated as a loan player it felt a little lacking because after all, Chelsea looked poor from every line, especially the main striker. Felix's arrival cannot guarantee anything. especially if he finds it difficult to be able to lead the front lines properly. Now what Chelsea is doing is still not enough to make their team qualify with satisfactory results. |

I find that is surprising. There are talk of transfer fees or purchase options of + 100 million euros. Chelsea have spent in the winter transfers +60 million euros on: Benoit Badiashile, Andrey Santos and David Datro Fofana. Another 11 million euros now for Joao Felix. Chelsea FC have realised the situation and if they want to play for the title, they have to play better football or get players who play better.
So, for now, even the purchases made have not fully guaranteed Chelsea to be in a promising position. They risked everything to be able to return to the position that should be occupied. Surprisingly even they seem unable to accept being in 10th place, so far Chelsea hasn't made much of a difference after the World Cup. With the hope that now rests on Graham Potter's shoulders, I think it will be a bit of a threat to him if in the end, Potter is unable to bring The Blues to the Champions League. Next season's situation is quite bad for Chelsea. |

Reportedly Joao Felix has officially been loaned to Chelsea for 5 months at a cost of 11 million euros. Indeed, Joao Felix's performance for half a season has appeared promising with 6 goals and 5 assists, including in the Portugal national team during the World Cup.
Joao Felix can occupy quite a variety of positions where he can be a striker or as a left-wing striker at Chelsea. And indeed this position is quite dominant if you look at some of the formations that Potter applied were not very effective.

Arsenal are still a strong side despite failing to win Newcastle and ending in a goalless draw. Manchester City facing Manchester United in the weekend as Arsenal face Spurs this fixtures will do so much in deciding if Arsenal will extend the gap or Manchester City will close up the gap. Indeed the race for the title this season is getting so interesting as everyone is anticipating to see if Arsenal can really beat Manchester City in the race to win the trophy and stop Guardiola's intended record.
I think Arsenal will still lead at the top of the standings even though Man City can win, but with the difference in points that Arsenal has it is clearly not a safe capital because Man City can go fast if only following 5 points. Arsenal must continue to extend the gap. Meanwhile, his time at Manchester United also seemed to be an important moment to be able to beat Man City. At least even a small result will have a major impact on the stability of Erik Ten Hag leadership in the future. Man United is in prime condition and its players are increasingly confident to pursue an ideal position in the standings. So Pep Guardiola's troops need to be careful with Man United's current movements. |

Barcelona managed to get an important victory to get away from Real Madrid, one goal scored by Dembele lasted until the end of the game. Atletico tried hard to find a goal in this match, the struggle of Atletico players was in vain due to not being able to penetrate Barcelona defense which was getting stronger. The duet of Christensen and Araujo at the heart of Barcelona defense was very good, they were able to withstand all attacks from Atletico players.
This victory has further increased the confidence of the Barcelona players after last week they were only able to draw with Espanyol, now Xavi must take advantage of every opportunity so as not to lose points in the continuation of La Liga.
Xavi made some improvements in Barcelona's defense, but they still need to work on the offensive side, in many matches I watched for them, they haven't been able to win with more than one goal which is risky case and can waste some points in case the opponent manged to score. In this match, they scored early, but still couldn't score more than one goal. Anyway, it's important win for Barcelona as they retook the lead of the ranking table. You are right, with the game that Barcelona has, the score should be more than 1 point. If not, the potential for playing with a thin score is clearly wasting the points that are in plain sight. Currently, they are leading by 3 points in the first standings. But with every fight getting slim, the odds would be easily beaten by the opponent. If the next Barcelona match is still with a thin score, it means that Xavi must be able to fix this. Playing a draw or a narrow score is still not enough if you have entered the Champions League next season. |

At first when the FTX crash obviously took everyone's portfolios into a tailspin, but that didn't last long as I was prioritizing Bitcoin let alone having an emergency fund to accumulate in December. So if we talk about how dependent it is on people investing in altcoins, it's probably going to be a little bit slow in terms of turning around. Bitcoin is now starting to recover and I'm still getting profits, for the impact of FTX it looks like it's over. It's just that we still need to be careful that there is still a lot of finance that Alameda currently has on hold. It could turn the situation around.

Chelsea had to accept a bitter defeat by Manchester City in the FA Cup match with a score of 0-4. It looks like Chelsea have no hope with their current performance, Graham Potter also can't do much with the current squad due to injuries from several of his players who haven't recovered yet. Furthermore, in the EPL match, Chelsea will face Fulham. This time Fulham will be the host, with the bad results that Chelsea have been getting continuously it looks like they will lose again in this match, but I still hope they can win this match even though it is very difficult.
Seeing that Chelsea condition is getting worse, of course you don't rule out the possibility of fighting Fulham, the results will not be too surprising. Whether you lose or win, Chelsea still has a lot of work to do. The cast whose composition was not up to par only impacted Potter's career. I'm not even sure Potter can survive such poor results. If you can't bring Chelsea through, maybe we will see the dismissal option soon. The Premier League made Chelsea frustrated because they were only able to rank 10th, this was clearly not a satisfactory result for the blues. |

Congratulations to Barcelona for the beautiful victory they got from Atletico Madrid. Barcelona achieved the winning goal at 22 minutes, hoping that Atletico Madrid will equalize the goal before the end of first half but Barcelona players never allow such opportunity come to Atletico Madrid till the end of the match. Now that Barcelona has moved to first position in the la Liga league table, showed that Barcelona coach is doing well in this season because there is hope that Barcelona will win this title. I don't think, Real Madrid can take this position from Barcelona before the end of this tournament, because their performance is reducing gradually in this season compared to last season.
Great game of Barcelona, but I must say that on 93 minutes Griezmann could have equalized the score, but by some miracle Araujo carried the ball already from the ribbon. Araujo just healed his injury and immediately saved Barcelona. In this game the team showed its character, Pedri created a goal out of almost nothing, and Ferran was not afraid of Savich and went to the end. In general, everyone likes the Barcelona more, even if without a goal extravaganza, but with character and fight to the end. Barcelona has grown up with young players this season and have achieved success game after game. Maybe it's not too early to see young players who have been able to work together on the field. Pedri and Dembele are indeed important assets for Barcelona. Xavi is now starting to regain trust. If this season Barcelona is able to secure the standings and continue to play nicely, then the Champions League door can be a little more flexible. In the match against Atletico Madrid, we can see that this narrow result has brought Barcelona a little away from Real Madrid. |

From the start, Ten Hag did not target any titles this season. he just wants his troops to win game after game. although it had slumped at the start of the season, in fact The Red Devils were able to rank 4th in the Premier League standings. in fact, Man United is almost close to Man City, only 4 points away. the meeting match between Manchester Utd vs Manchester City, can be a place to prove as well as reduce the point difference between these two teams. for sure, Man United is on the right track.
Arsenal, can slip up anytime, City is no exception. because City will be visiting Old Trafford, the headquarters of The Red Devils. I know that City's chances are higher than The Red Devils. however, it is possible that Erik Ten Hag's squad will surprise and overthrow Manchester City in the match later.
I agree with you, for Man United now maybe the result will be a little different from their last game against Man City. Even though the squad they have remains the same, it's just that after the world cup, Man United's players have increased drastically compared to usual. Rashford played freely and was able to cover each others with his partner. Erik Ten Hag has at least given Man United victory after victory, from his last 5 matches including 2 matches in the FA Cup managed to make a landslide victory. In front of his opponent is Man City, of course it is not an easy task for defenders to guard against Haaland movements. |

I see a competitive season which four teams for now are wholely involved the likes of manchester city fc, Liverpool fc,Arsenal fc and manchester united, if you have been up till date when it comes to English football you will see that Arsenal has been successful in most of their games this season, Right now the are very tactical and also play enjoyable football , manchester city,Liverpool and Manchester United are also doing great.
Somehow you can conclude this but miss Newcastle? Even now Liverpool task still needs points to catch the position occupied by Tottenham. If they can take 4th place then I think you are saying the right thing. So your expectations have not been realized, in my opinion, at the moment Liverpool cannot be in an environment like Arsenal, Man City, and Man United. If you watched their last match against Brentford, you must know that the 3-1 result was quite embarrassing for Liverpool. |

An interesting fact about Real Madrid's match is that Villarreal game after scoring a goal did not last but instead continued to apply pressure and it was clear that the performance of Villarreal's players was very solid. Benzema was only able to score at the same time, in terms of mastery Real Madrid was superior but unfortunately, Villarreal's shots on target dominated. The decision to place the composition of the players made by the Villarreal coach was very appropriate. Including the goalkeeper who is no longer young but looks extraordinary in defending his goal. The balance of center backs Albiol and Torres complement each other so that they are able to block the movements of Benzema and friends.

I also think a draw is enough for Manchester United in this match, why? yes because their opponent is a team that has perfect strength. I'm not going to rule out that many people's doubts about Manchester United will be broken, but realistically we have to say that Manchester City are better than they are at the moment. The advantage for them may be because the match will be held at Old Trafford which is their headquarters. But Manchester City has a good memory when playing here.
With the consistency of Man United who has appeared extraordinary and must be ready against Man City, it is clear that Man United has the advantage of playing at Old Trafford. But is that enough? with Erik Ten Hag current trust I also hope that at least they can win by a narrow margin? But still, Man City's position is still superior, especially now that their target is also to reduce the gap with Arsenal, which of course makes Pep Guardiola install core players in the first minute to create pressure at the start. |

That's how the government wants to keep control over the people's finances, because if decentralized they can't do anything if something bad happens to the people and the more precise reason is that they can't take advantage, especially the bankers.
Because basically, the industry that will be disrupted when crypto adoption takes root is banking, if you look at it today the aspects contained in banks are already in DEFI so it will be easy for Blockchain technology to shift the highest throne of financial institutions.
CBDCs may be a backup plan to be an option for the government to keep control of finances and as an alternative form of currency that people can use to keep themselves away from crypto.
You are right, CBDC is still a controlled CBDC as fiat functions. The government just wants to make sure that digital finance has to adapt to the growth of crypto. But then again they're not crypto, they're just leveraging Blockchain as a reincarnation of fiat. I wouldn't worry too much, because users who already know the function of crypto as full control will know the difference with CBDC clearly. |

Stealing is still stealing even under the pretext of helping clearly there are other alternatives that can be done. Hasn't the way of raising funds with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies been done and worked well in the past? even in this forum there are people who are trusted in making these donations, reinforced by the Ukrainian president who has received quite large Bitcoin donations from donors and that is going well. It would be nice if the good results were channeled into a good way anyway. Maybe they act like Robinhood, but I don't know what further to say.
