Robert Lewandowski is surely currently leading striker in La Liga even we have few more quality players like Karim Benzema, Morata and Vinicius which can give their best in this season but still Robert Lewandowski is best in his job and already leading table which is surely going to be good start for them after arrival from Germany as mostly peoples were feeling he can face consequence's for change of conditions but nothing happen, and he is giving his best which is showing his quality and abilities to adopt all conditions for giving his best.
Lewandowski has amazing adaption to La Liga and he is challenging chance to protect Pinicchi for Benzema. He also has another advantage because Benzema has injury and would miss some matches in La Liga.

Lewandowski and Benzema are biggest candidates for Pinicchi in this season. I do believe neither Vinicius nor Morata will be able to join this race. Morata even is not able to have a safely position in Atheltico Madrid squad.

Real Madrid have changed all doubts last season with several trophies they won, Ancelotti being the one person who contributed the most to Real Madrid's success last season.
Ancelotti is an experienced coach and in this season, again we are witnessing his motivational management. Valverde has gradually improved himself with good challenge from Ancelotti. I am very surprised to see Valverde suddenly has become very goal productive in this season and more impressively, his goals are very important.

We all know that there are only two nations that lawfully accept Bitcoin as a legal currency, El Salvador and Central African Republic. So how come that these gambling companies are allowed to put to use Bitcoin as one of their accepted currencies when neither Netherlands and Cyprus aren't legalizing Bitcoin as a currency?
Has yet accepted Bitcoin as a legal currency does not mean locals there can not use Bitcoin. About Netherlands, there are activities of crypto industry there, companies, exchanges so they have yet officially banned Bitcoin.

In addition, don't forget about Web3 casinos that would give you more freedom. With Web3 casinos, you can connect your wallet and bet. Of course, it is more easily with tokens (ERC20, BEP20, etc.) but if it is Bitcoin, there would be other solutions as no direct way to connect Metamask wallet, example, and use Bitcoin to bet. The wallet is for tokens, not for Bitcoin.

Lewandowski can be considered as a goal machine for bayern. You will not find a characteristic that available in someone by replacing it with others. Lewandowski was too old and yeah this was true but it doesn't mean his performance was dropping a lot.
Lewandowski is a goal machine since his time in Dortmund. His transfer to Bayern and his time there help him to reach to a higher level. He made history in Bayern and even now he is older, his skills are still there and his body is still good enough to play at highest level. Bayern did not believe that he can play well in near future so they let him moving to Barcelona in a free transfer. Anyway, so far he has achieved so many good things in Barcelona and I think it is just his start.

Quote
I do believe if this is giving a huge impact to the performance from the bayern. this time union's player are the best compared with dortmund. If bayern will able to finish at the number 1 position and this gonna be a miracle that will happen only one in so many seasons.
The departure of Lewandowski has effect on Bayern but more important, their issues are not only in Lewandowski. The current players have been playing together many years and many of them are old enough so their performance is not good as same as when they were younger.

1. Can one use BTC now but claim forks later for all previous years?

"Get forks first, then use BTC."
Claiming forks means you are exposing your wallet private key and this contains risk. You should know you use your private key to claim forks, not your Bitcoin. You must have Bitcoin at the fork time, if you don't have it, you have a balance is 0, so claiming does not give you anything.

Because of private key leak, you must move your Bitcoin to another wallet (not another address in a same wallet) and after that, you can start claiming forks.

Quote
2. Moving to a new wallet. Which wallet is safe, convenient and simple to use for a non-advanced user like me?

First download a new wallet.
Choose non custodial wallets to download. Then verify what you download. Next, install it, create your wallet. Back it up. Test your backup. Try to recover your wallet from a backup. If all are fine, you can use that wallet to store your Bitcoin.

Don't store your backup in email, cloud. Write it down, store it offline.

Quote
Then "copy" a "key" from the old wallet and "paste" it to the new wallet?
It means you import a private key.

You can use sweep. Like this Can I sweep private keys from other Bitcoin clients?

I'm not surprised, Juventus performance looks very bad lately. Juventus never won in the last 3 matches. They get a draw with Fiorentina and Salernitana, and then get a loss played against Monza.
They rely too much on Vlahovic and the attacking system is bad. They had very low ball possession and if we take into consideration that they did not meet considerable strong teams so far. This statistics is terrible and Vlahovic only scores one goal from lively situation. Rest of his goals is from penalty and free kicks. They rely on him but don't give him enough ball and key passes.

Yes I agree with you, changing a coach is the best solution and I believe it will make Juventus will be great like what they did in the past. but, if change a coach, it will change also the player who needs more adaptation again and time. So, Juventus need a coach who makes the fast change and wouldn't change the squad very much. which means a coach must utilize the squad just the way are.
But it costs a lot. Juventus will have to pay a compensation about $9M if they fire Max. I believe they will give Max a few more matches after the FIFA days before any serious decision can be made.

Max is on the verge of being sacked and his time is counting down. He must improve the team after FIFA days and if he fails, he will be fired.

The relationship between Neymar and Messi is obvious and with the recent high heightened behaviour of Mbappe, it will  strengthen the relationship the more. Football is cool when played among good players. The 3 are great players no doubt, but I don't know if PSG coach issued an order that when Mbappe makes a run, the ball must be passed to him. If there is no such other, his frustration cannot be justified. Football comes with alot of excitement and entertainment and it is best enjoyed when ego is removed.
Neymar and Messi had years playing together in Barcelona and it is easily for them to reconnect again in PSG. PSG become more dangerous because these players also connect well with Mbappe. They will bring a lot of goals for PSG and they will have too powerful attacking in this season.

That free kick reminds me about a legendary player of Lyon, Juninho. He is a master of free kick and in his career, Juninho scored many unbelievable goals from a similar angle like that one from Messi. The freekick of Messi is beautiful but it is not a goal because the goal keeper of Lyon rejected it.

Leicester is the team that conceded the most goals in the Premier League. Maybe they should build the defensive line from different players. I am very confused why Brendon still hasn't played Çağlar Söyüncü. He is an admired defender, but interestingly he is not currently played and considered in the league at Leicester. Different combinations have to be tried to fix things.
Like the match with Tottenham, they did not play too bad and were able to score two goals but they ended it with a big defeat. You can be right that the biggest problem of Leicester City is their defense that is weakest of Premier League so far. If they can improve defense, they will be able to reduce lost matches and increase chance to get more wins.

Too many conceded goals is bad very every team because it wipes out all team efforts to attack and score valuable goals that become useless at the end.

Arsenal collecting  18 points from their first seven league games and are currently at the top of the Premier League table shows how serious they are this season. I think everybody says Arsenal's top priority should be a top-four finish. But I see beyond that.
They have enough good players to dream for higher position than just top four. They can even dream of Premier League trophy but don't forget a fact that Arsenal have never been stable with performance and in this season, they have less good players than Manchester City. It means when this season comes to later half, Arsenal will get more trouble than Manchester City. Their players can be injured or exhausted and have decreasing performance. Manchester City can use alternative players but still be able to maintain good results.

I think to know how Lionel Messi contributing for PSG looking on how long PSG journey on Champion League, will he success lead PSG until final stage or stuck last season on 16 round phase.
PSG signed a contract and gave a very generous salary to Messi not to win Ligue 1. They did all these things for Messi with a demand that Messi should contribute for them and lead them to Champions League trophy. In the first season, Messi failed but we can expect better contribution from Messi in this season and PSG would be a stronger team in Champions League. They will not easily be beaten in this season.

Might even be surprising to you to learn that City, Bayern and PSG have been the top 3 favourites in the past 3 editions of Champions League, leaving out Real Madrid every season despite them appearing and winning in finals. Liverpool I always feel are rightly below top 3, despite also making 3/5 finals.
They have best players in the Europe and in general, as whole team, their squads are very strong. I think Manchester City and PSG are stronger than Bayern but we can not under estimate the strength of Bayern. They are more experienced in Champions League and Manchester City, PSG can not compare with them about that.

It seems like that westham and leicester city in competition to leave from the relegation zone. Leicester city was also trying so hard in the last match. It's sad that brendan rogers were not giving good result with it. I hope that leicester city will not even winning any game lol. The competition will be good if there will be a new team to be promoted into the premier league. Leicester is still in its worst performance. It's sad to see that westham was slowly following it.
Leicester City still have good players but their performance is too bad. They are similar to Everton in the past season when results are very bad and worse that what they should have with good players.

They must have a big improvement in order to change a whole psychology of the team. After they have better psychology, their performance might be improved a lot. If they can not do it, they will likely stuck in the relegation zone for months. And maybe too late to come back.

Today's Atletico Madrid - Real Madrid match promises to be very interesting. According to bookmakers, the guests are the favorites, but it is known that derby matches have their own rules and the current form of the team does not always translate into the result of the match.
Without Benzema, Real Madrid will have to rely on Valverde, Vinicius to find goals. Valverde likely has a very good and goal-productive season. In this match, Real Madrid are a stronger team but difference between them is not too big.

We can expect enough difficulty from Atletico Madrid in this derby. I would like to see how they use Griezman in this derby. Will he start the match from bench again? He is still a qualitied player and it will be a waste if Atletico Madrid won't use him from the start.

Quote
Personally, I will not choose the winner of this match, but I hope for an interesting match and a lot of goals, I bet over 2.5 goals.
You make a good bet and I think the match will end as 2-1 or 3-1 for Real Madrid. If it ends like this, you will win with you lr bet.

Well, you cannot judge the support based on one attempt, because you might have just been lucky that one of them was available when you tried. I am not saying that you should spam them with frequent tests, because that will just increase their problems, but a query now and again will not hurt.  Grin
Try it different times and you can discover it. Because a platform can change from good to bad and bad to good. It is why reputation needs lot of time to achieve.

I am curious to know if they have support 24/7 to cover all time-zones ...and if certain time-zones gets more support than others. That will be the true test for new casinos, because most smaller casinos fail ..because they only have one small team that are only on duty in one time zone.  Roll Eyes
Having 24/7 support is good but is is not mandatory. If you can get support within 24 hours, it is good enough already. Matter is your voice is known and you receive support you want. Only big platforms can provide you 24/7 support because they have enough budget for customer support staffsat different time zones

Yes, the future is unpredictable and everything is always a risk, so diversifying your portfolio is a good idea. In addition to startup ideas, you can also invest in other fields such as gold, real estate. Personally, I really like real estate for me it is a non-volatile but sometimes profitable asset, it can be said that its return can be greater than gold.
Diversifying is not always good. If you are good with research you can filter projects and pick good ones for your portfolio. It is a good diversification but if you are not good with research and choose projects based on reviews of others, it is bad diversification. Because you can diversify your portfolio with scam projects.

Currently, I am still accumulating more bitcoins for myself and I will only sell when I reach my goal, after selling bitcoin I will definitely deduct some to start with real estate.
Good time to accumulate more Bitcoin when market price is under realized price. You are good by accumulation but next step is more important. You must be disciplined and patient enough to hold your Bitcoin and wait for next halvings. Price of Bitcoin so far makes new all time high with each new halving and you can take profit with eacb halving too.

Usually official and legit websites don't have double letters like coinmarketcapp or coingeckoo. If you see a domain name with double or tripple letter, it is an suspicious signal of a phishing site.

Because it is only signal, you must check further with whois or google with keyword like scam, phishing. Moreover, you can check site traffic with https://www.similarweb.com/ because a new and scam site likely has low traffic and does not have too long record.

yes I think PSG will win easily against Lyon, we can see this from Lionel's performance back to how it used to be. I saw in several matches, both in the league and in the UCL, Messi was back as hot as when he was at Barcelona. PSG will be eyeing a positive trend at a time when lyon is currently in a less good trend.
In his second season with PSG, Messi has a better performance but now he is playing like a midfielder, a play maker. Maybe it is what PSG really needs from Messi. They already have Mbappe to score goals but the appearance of Messi help to increase their unpredictable and dangerous attacking.

We see the connection of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe is very dangerous in this season. They must maintain the connection and avoid conflict of interest. If they can do this, I believe they will be able to win Champions League. Messi knows his career is counting down till ending. Just a few more seasons and he really wants to win another Champions League.

Federer recently announced his retirement and Ronaldo in this season has a terrible decrease in performance. Messi should feel fearful when age impact becomes bigger.

Atletico Madrid must immediately improve their standings if they do not want to lose the opportunity to stay on the path of champions. But this week will be a tough week for them, because the team they will face is their rival as well as the team that won 100%, Real Madrid. If they lost this match, it would be more difficult for them to move forward.
Atletico Madrid has 10 points which is 5 points less than Real Madrid. They are not too far from top 4 and only 2 points less than Ossasuna which stands at the fourth position. They must have at least 1 point from this match to prevent Real Madrid expanding the gap with them. I believe Athletico Madrid wants to join La Liga championship competition. They don't satisfy to join only top 4 of La Liga.

Even though they will try to get up, when the opponent in front of their eyes is Real Madrid, it will be very unfortunate. Atlético Madrid's mentality last season was quite good but now they have lost confidence in the midst of player instability and the coach's strategy is not accurate in front of the opponent. Real Madrid will test them on the pitch. If until now Atletico Madrid still does not try to get out of the pressure it could end badly for Diego Simeone's reputation.
Things are not too bad for them at least now. One win can help them to move upwards on the table. The season is only at beginning phase and they have many matches to improve their standing.

I disagree if you say mentality of Athetico Madrid is weak. They are too strong mentally from their coach to players.

Yep, There’s a lot of slot players on Duelbits with deep pockets so even the top 70 spot is very hard to win on this kind of global competition.
Duelbits is a big casino and they have lot of players, not only in slot games.

Quote
Promotion like special bet offer and free spin is usually the best promotion to all types of players because it doesn’t require competition.
About promotion, Duelbits have different promotion type too. You don't have to worry if you miss one promotion. They will launch others in very near future. Free spin is the most favorite promotion for gamblers.

Quote
This tournament typically being controlled by whale players that doing max bet per spin because it’s very hard to collect points on slot games using minimum bet only.
Whale players have advantage with the amount they can bet but more important and decisive for their chance to win, they know how to bet in order to protect their initial capital and still have chance to win the contest. Rich and experienced, they are whale players.

Not a wise decision to leave bitcointalk hanging because this is the place where they can get huge crowds which 100% crypto users. If they ignore bitcointalk then for sure they will need more huge funds to present their casino to other prospects. But who knows maybe they have other plans and I'm sure the people who's assigned on marketing know their job. But hopefully they realize that bitcointalk is huge and they comeback since this will tighten up the competition of casinos here.
Bitcointalk is only one of channels they can advertise their casino. Different channels have different people as users. If they want to expand their casino to other communities, they must find and try with other channels. If they think they already have good traffic from Bitcointalk, they can stop advertisement here.

You can see the same from Bistler that has a very long campaign but stopped about 2 years ago.

I think there's many casinos become big from this forum especially if they run long term signature campaign, create a promotion only for Bitcointalk user and always handle any complaints directed to them.

If they're coming back in this forum and relaunch their old campaign, I think they're know they've make a mistake by not focusing in this forum.
We are waiting for their relaunch of signature campaign but I don't think if they relaunch it, it means a confirmation of their mistake by stop advertising in the forum. They can have a relaunch if they have new products on their casino and want to let people on this forum know about that.

Bayern Munich has drawn three matches in a row in the Bundesliga. And now they are third in the points table. Only 2 points behind Union Berlin at the top of the table. It will not be too difficult for Bayern Munich to close the gap of two points. Bayern Munich has dropped points in three matches as they look to focus their full attention on Champions League matches. And they got the expected result in both the Champions League matches.
Bayern can lose points but will other clubs lose less points than Bayern? In general, in a long season, Bayern often is the club that earn most points in Bundesliga. 3 draws in a row look like bad results but the win in Champions League with the opponent is Barcelona, shows that Bayern is still very strong. And likely these 3 draws are only accidents for them.

Quote
Bayern Munich's next match is against Augsburg. Augsburg is not a weak team. But I think Bayern Munich will get back on track with a win in this match. and will occupy the top spot in the points table.
Augsburg is not a weak team but is not a strong team as same as Barcelona. Bayern has more chance to beat Augsburg than beating Barcelona. Moreover, after 3 draws, they will try and very focus in the coming match in order to get 3 points.
2259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: September 15, 2022, 01:56:16 PM
Despite a good performance against Bayern, Barcelona was defeated. Even with a strong attack, Barcelona couldn't score any goals. Xavi definitely needs to work on strengthening his attacking lineup.
Playing good is not enough. Bayern is one of strongest teams in Champions League and if Barcelona can play equally with Bayern, they can play well with other top clubs. It means they have fair chance to compete with other strong clubs in the Europe. However, the defeat proves another fact that Barcelona is still under top clubs a little bit.

Football is unpredictable and because they can play equal games, sometimes they will lose and sometimes they will win. First, Xavi and Barcelona must pass through the group stage. Later on they can fight, wait for luck and surprising results.

Quote
Every player in the forward is talented, Xavi has to find the reason why they are not playing well. And I would say Xavi can experiment with his team in matches against weaker teams like Elche. He can arrange a new match strategy. These matches are very important to correct the weaknesses of the team. But first of all, Barcelona must secure 3 points in the match.
Xavi is not a coach who obsesses with tactics like Pep Guardiola. He is smart but he prioritizes stability and he does not want to make suddenly strange decisions and changes in squad. Pep Guardiola does it very often and sometimes, he even does it in important matches.

Elche is not a club that can bring lot of troubles to Barcelona and Xavi can use some alternative players for the match.

The history as described by the research of Nick Szabo tells it differently, or some of it. The "assets" that were used as Medium of Exchange were collectibles, and because they were Stores of Value, they became the preferred Medium of Exchange. Because how could there be a social consensus develop around an "asset" to be a Medium of Exchange if the asset itself is not a Store of Value? Why would I trade my drugs with you if your Medium of Exchange is a common rock? If the rock has a Store of Value component, like a diamond, we can talk.
Bitcoin has multiple utilities and store of value is one of its utilities.

If a person owns Bitcoin, then that person can use it for many purposes: investing, trading, payment method for grocery, merchant shopping and so on. Sometimes, because of many use cases the person will not clearly clarify what he uses Bitcoin for. Utility creates value and Bitcoin has it. Deflationary creates value and Bitcoin has it too.

Even if we accept Bitcoin as a store of value or disagree with this statement, fact is fact and people naturally use Bitcoin in their own ways. Some consider and use it as a store of value. Some others don't but in general, Bitcoin adoption is increasing that is good for Bitcoin investors.
