2261  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Countries have banned Bitcoin; Do you believe is because of criminal activities on: August 03, 2022, 09:48:52 PM
The average says bitcoin helps criminals, but in reality bitcoin is just the same instrument or tool as fiat in criminal matters. I do not believe that this opinion is justified, because frankly the government does not want its centralized financial system to remain undisturbed by the presence of bitcoin.

Legality and prohibition are their way of preventing use and circulation. But the point is the government is just afraid of the other potential that a lot of people can do with bitcoin, and I would probably say is an unfounded form of resistance.

I think of hardware wallet that support multi signature as the best option for whales to securely store their bitcoin. Hardware wallet are ideal for storing large amounts of bitcoin, but either way I don't think they will keep them in one basket. Every user who invests in bitcoin be it small or big then it is they who are responsible who must follow best practices to secure their wallet. I think the whales know how they do it too, and I believe they are still better than most non-technical Legendary like me when it comes to their bitcoin storage.

If we have 1-2 hardware wallets, it's probably 10-100 hardware wallets for them, but who knows if they may also consider a centralized storage service.

If you realize that inconsistency is happening to Milan as well and not only to Inter, because at the same time when Milan and Inter have weaker opponents they can end the match with a loss as well as a draw. So basically last season their inconsistency can be said to be balanced, so I can't agree if the inconsistency is only aimed at Inter. But however the season has passed and will start a new season in a few days, the preparations of the Serie A teams I think so far only Juventus has seen a major overhaul and I am looking forward to Dybala's performance at Roma under Mourinho.
Any Serie A fan or gambler who often takes advantage of the match will be well aware of it. The inconsistency of the Serie A team last season has made Milan win the title, but of course I believe Milan also has a good performance.

About this season there are a lot of teams that are starting to improve. Several new players have been signed and this will be good for Serie A as the title race will be intense. Roma in competition, Milan, Inter, Juventus and Napoli will also make Serie A even more interesting.
2264  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Satoshi is not dead, what is he doing? on: August 02, 2022, 09:09:02 PM
I'm very sure that if Satoshi should resurface and prove that he is alive, a lot of things are going to happen which will not end well for everyone in the market, have you noticed that anytime an old wallet addresses that were last active in 10 years back spend a single bitcoin, traders began to speculate and sell or close their position because they fear that he(satoshi) will dump his bags on them to gain access to the liquidity.
I wonder if that will happen to bitcoin in the future. LOL
We're just assuming, if satoshi was alive, he would laugh at how worried we are about his life status out there with his bag full of bitcoin. Some developers are happy to have him back, but neither for investors or traders.

Another reason why I think satoshi might want to remain anonymous could also be because the government will want him, they will want to hear a lot of answers, it is better things remain like this, not as if he did bitcoin alone, there has been lots of improvement since he was last seen online.
Obviously, he's going to be interrogated for days somewhere just because the government wants to get a way to make bitcoin centralized.

Haalaand and Nunez both departed from competitions outside England and they certainly still need time to adapt to the English league game, indeed in the Community Shield title match against manchester city yesterday Nunez performed quite well and he indeed to be praised, unlike the case with Haaland who was judged to be lacking contributed to manchester city in that match, but in some pre-season games with liverpool actually Nunez also performed poorly but gradually he was able to restore his game performance, that is also what happened to Haalaand at this time and maybe he still needs time in manchester city, in my opinion quality the two strikers are equally good and it is possible for them will become rivals in terms of the top scorer in the English league next season.
Well I would say great if his first season in the Premier League was able to score 20 more goals. I won't argue if you call him great just because he beat Manchester City, but he contributed well to his team by contributing one goal.

I expect competition between Haaland, Nunez and also Ronaldo if he wants to stay at Manchester United. These three players will be compared until the end of the season, but we don't know what they are capable of achieving. Hoping for the best, that's for sure.
2266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 01, 2022, 07:08:53 PM
with that i think manchester united should have hired more players who were good at scoring goals, this problem of theirs in attack will make them not finish even in 4th position
Did Ronaldo play in all those games? I think Ronaldo can help Manchester United in goal productivity and I don't think they need more players there.
Manchester United need to improve their defensive system and midfield. In attacking positions I think they are good but defense is always a problem especially if you look at it last season. In my opinion, it doesn't take many goals to win but 1 goal is enough but they have to have a very good defense.

Prior to the start of Serie A, Juventus was threatened by a storm of injuries. Paul Pogba, a recent free agent from Manchester United, was injured while practicing with Juventus in the United States.
Miralem Pjanic, a former Juventus player who is presently on the playing for Barcelona, is being considered by Juventus as a potential replacement for Paul Pogba, who is anticipated to miss a significant amount of time due to a lateral meniscus injury to his right knee. Even his participation for France at the forthcoming 2022 World Cup is in doubt. Even worse, Pogba was forced to undergo surgery to have a piece of his meniscus removed from his knee. He will be out of work for 40 to 60 days.
Pogba's injury is very heavy for Juventus because Pogba and some of their summer purchases are predicted to be able to restore Juventus' performance even better this season. Juventus have lost the competition in recent seasons with Inter and Milan coming out as champions at the end of the season. So now Juventus may be looking for a replacement for a while because two months is a long time to recover.

Miralem Pjanic may be good, but he is still a barcelona player whose contract expires in 2024. If Juventus want to sign him then I think they will have to spend a bit on Barcelona. Miralem Pjanic is 32 years old, but his form is still good in my opinion.

I just wonder: are Early Adopters rich?
Obviously, they become very rich only if they still have bitcoin up to now which means they can still access their wallets. Price fluctuations have determined their fate and you can probably find a lot of information about anyone who got rich in the last decade because of bitcoin.

What about others? Bitcoin Core developers? Forum admins or well-known old users? Are they crazy rich living in their own castles or did they lost their coins,
They don't tell you how many bitcoins they have in their wallet, just speculating about them might not solve the problem you want to know about. But I can say that there are quite a number of traders and investors in this forum. They are rich because of bitcoin, but anyway we don't know how much.
2269  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How did everyone get into Crypto? on: August 01, 2022, 05:45:39 PM
If you want to read a lot more about this, there are these old threads:

Topic: How did you find out about Bitcoin? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=162741.0
Topic: When and how did you discover Bitcoin? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5378224.0
Then, this one:

What Would Be Your Reason to Leave Bitcointalk? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5338254.0



OP, because you asked, then I thought I'd quote my answer a while back for you to read. So I don't have to rewrite about it. Newspapers and online media have invited me to this space.

I read newspapers and some other online media and I found bitcoin being talked about even though some of my friends have been here for bitcoin since mid 2015. I really didn't realize that until one day they admitted they had been here for a long time and even had hundreds of bitcoin. This is my 4th year on the forum, I'm really enjoying it now and I'm lucky during that time I'm enjoying some ATH.


But wait, why am I starting to think your story is unbelievable?

Fast forward 4 years I buy some Bitcoin the day i move to England just for some fun, completely forget about it for 2 years. One day I was completely broke and remembered I had brought some Bitcoin a few years back. I ended up making about £120 on my investment (crazy to me at the time).
Hello, Dear

Can anyone tell me which token should I use for my investment which will give me profit in a short time as I am investing for the first time?

the game finished with a left-footed shot from Haaland that hit the crossbar, signaling the start of the Premier League season the following weekend.
Unfortunately for Manchester City, instead of trying to score an equalizer after Liverpool led 2-1 but they conceded another goal from Nunez in the 90+4 minute. I have to say Liverpool played better and Salah's penalty has made their spirits even better. Congratulations on their win, it was the first title of the season for Nunez and his team-mates.

Unfortunately Haaland did not score in this match even though he played from the first half. Pep may need to evaluate his team's defense and fix it in the next game. I don't think it's bad, but it's a good result for Liverpool. Before the Premier League officially starts, I hope Manchester City have a way to improve their defense and attacking aggression. Especially Haaland, he has to try to be the best this season.

Juventus are still thinking about a move to sign Nicolo Zaniolo but I'm not very positive about Roma to sell him to any team now. It is like the time they need him the most because they would aim to have a better season with Mourinho. Zaniolo is a player who can play a critical role in making this real. Tottenham are also observing his situation from some distance and looking for an opportunity to sign him. I expect none of them to reach their goal at least for this summer.
Roma have to keep their players especially because the season is about to start. He's still needed at Roma and I'm sure Mourinho will try to keep his players this summer. Nicolo Zaniolo was an important player at Roma last season, he had 28 appearances throughout the season and scored 2 goals in Serie A. So even if Tottenham or Juventus want to go for him, I'm sure he won't be sold this season.

Finally after big press Manchester City found equalizer. Julian Alvarez scored his first goal in his first game. It was a clear goal but we waited two minutes for offside check in VAR. This should've been faster. Manchester City is the better side but they should find winning goal in normal time. İlkay Gündoğan finally comes in, he'd have higher chance to create something for Haaland. Liverpool closed down a lot. We may see extra time and maybe penalties as well.
And it's true that Manchester City finally broke the deadlock in this match where Alvarez scored. But unfortunately the draw did not last long because Liverpool were awarded a penalty which was well converted into a goal by Salah. Liverpool are ahead again, it's 2-1 and here I think they will secure the win.
2273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: July 30, 2022, 05:34:06 PM
Liverpool played aggressively and managed to take the lead. Trent Alexander-Arnold took a classy shot from outside the penalty area and scored the goal that put his team ahead. It is very important to get the advantage of scoring in the final match. If Liverpool manage to set the tempo of the match, they can win this match. I think everything is in their own hands now. Also, I wonder how Pep Guardiola will interfere with the game. Today his job is not easy and he needs to do something.
Manchester City are still ahead statistically but they can't score. Until the 70th minute Liverpool were still leading the game with a one-goal advantage and it looked like it would never be safe because Manchester City could take advantage of the remaining 20 minutes to score.

Of course I don't think winning this game is easy for Guardiola and his team. Haaland was expected to be the savior in this match, but the game got better because Liverpool brought on Nunez from the 60th minute. A 1-1 draw may be true, however Liverpool have a chance to win this game by retaining their lead.

Bitcoin is the king of crypto, we've heard about it a lot, and it's a proven fact over the years.
Of course it is not misleading if we believe that the crypto that deserves to be called the king is bitcoin, that's because bitcoin is able to maintain its value compared to other altcoin. But if we are investors looking to maximize profits, then I don't think we should ignore the top 10 altcoin either. I'm sure not everyone will agree, but asset diversification is a good thing and not too bad to consider.

I expect bitcoin to be irreplaceable in the long term although now some altcoins seem to be more developed than ever. For its use case as a currency, bitcoin is still the first due to its decentralized, but surely other products will try to gain a place in the community as well.
2275  Other / Meta / Re: Why are there no official moderators for Other? on: July 29, 2022, 04:01:47 PM
And i guess the Global Mods also have a good help from alanst , 3dOOm and Rizzrack also as they have some special rights for doing stuff.
I seem to be missing something here, but is this true? I've never heard of user except moderator or admin having any special privileges on this forum, except for LoyceV with its whitelist. Mate, is there any information I missed?

AFAIK, so far Other board including child boards are moderated well by moderators (maybe global moderators) so I don't think it's a big problem and urgent matter as one of the board moderators is inactive. If all this time the board needed a lot of moderation then I'm sure the idea of ​​a new moderator has been around for a long time, and maybe people have been paying attention to it for a long time.

apart from being a means to finalize strategy, friendly matches can also be a means for coaches to test the application of new formations and also to see how the quality of new players is, friendly matches are of course needed to be able to evaluate the team and apply it when the league match starts, I I think a lot of coaches might try experimenting at this point before actually finding the right formula later.
Apart from that, friendly matches during pre-season are also good business for the organizers so it can also benefit both teams. Trial of strategy, new players is an absolute thing, but many of us forget that it is also a profitable business.

For now the friendlies are on until the end of August, and if it's about Barcelona then I think we'll see another big game against Manchester City. There are still plenty of matches to look forward to, but they might not be that exciting if the opponents aren't worth it.
2277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: July 29, 2022, 03:28:38 PM
The English Premier League will finally be starting soon with another new season, I think out of the 3 newly promoted teams, Fulham and Nottingham Forest should stand more chances to survive relegation rather than AFC Bournemouth as both of these teams had spent quite a large amount of money in the transfer market to bolster their squads.
Of course there is an opportunity for both teams to survive in the Premier League by avoiding the relegation zone. The most favorable scenario is if they manage to attract a few top teams or maybe can win a lot of games against the mid-table teams. If they are able to do that, then chances are they will last longer in the Premier League.

In my opinion, the amount of money they have spent on signing players this season will not guarantee them a successful stay in the Premier League without struggling in the relegation zone. Even so, they must keep trying to realize the dream so that it is commensurate with what they have spent on the transfer market.

This is bad luck for Pogba because in training he can get injured which is beyond prediction but indeed I read the news that at least two months for treatment and there is a long possibility that even it was reported that for the world cup competition it was reported that he would be absent, I honestly don't want this occur.

Of course, Allegri's plans will definitely change because previously Pogba was included in the main squad which would be a good contribution to winning the Scudetto, but what power this must be changed and planned for Pogba's replacement, but there is a possibility that other players will be targeted by Juve to fill Pogba's position at this time this.
Surprisingly and actually it is the thing that costs Juventus and France the most if Pogba cannot be played in official matches. The league will start in August and that is bad news.

If the injury isn't too severe and doesn't require him to be out for more than two months, then I think Juventus can still be patient. I don't think they should get a replacement right away because Pogba is still possible to recover faster, so hopefully that's true and the injury isn't too bad.
2279  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Most BTC you've spent on something? on: July 28, 2022, 04:58:10 PM
In May 2018 was when I spent about 0.053 btc to buy a laptop. The bitcoin price was around $8200 and my laptop was no less than $430. But don't get me wrong, I didn't buy it with btc but with fiat even though I had to convert 0.053 btc to fiat on the local exchange.

The government still prohibit us from using crypto as a legal tender until now, and that's why I dare not pay sellers with bitcoin. Converting it to fiat is one way out, so it's safe for me to make transaction. Luckily for me at that time the government had not applied a tax for every transaction of converting crypto to fiat or vice versa, but now the tax has been applied although it is still quite acceptable as a reasonable limit.
2280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: July 28, 2022, 04:36:37 PM
For the championship competition, this season Manchester City and Liverpool are still very dominant compared to the others, don't underestimate teams like Chelsea and Arsenal, because they both have talented players, Manchester United has not changed much, because it is still difficult got star players, so my prediction they will finish outside the big four.
I don't think much about Manchester United's chances because Liverpool and Manchester City are still quite reliable as candidates for the 2022/2023 season. Manchester United are still struggling to get good players even though Martinez is their newest signing, but of course there is never enough to be able to compete in the top flight.

Agree or not then I think Manchester City are the best to stay ahead in their title chances. Their probabilities have increased because of Haaland, but either way no one can guarantee that they can clinch the title by scoring 100 points or more at the end of the season.
