Yes, yesterday's matches were a bit dull but we are in for a treat for tomorrow. Two really high voltage matches with so much at stake. These matches will be a banger to watch. The Djokovic vs Zverev should be a nail-biter. Not to forget about the Alliassime vs Medvedev one, these two are also really skilled. Great day coming ahead tomorrow.

I also expect that much to be pretty close, or at least closer than Djokovics match against Berrettini, but i am also pretty sure that Djokovic will do everything this time that Zverev won't beat him again like he did back at the olympic games. I think back then Djokovic just had to much pressure, because he was still going for the Golden Slam back then, something that no male player ever achieved before him. I think that an almost unique possibility like that hinders even a player with a lot of experience like Djokovic. Now that this pressure is off his shoulders he can play freely again and he is without a doubt the big favorite to win his match against Zverev and afterwards the US Open title.
2422  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PancakeSwap Vs Sushiswap – Which is Better? on: September 09, 2021, 04:55:34 PM
TL;DR The DeFi space is increasingly becoming popular in the crypto world. The same goes for the decentralized exchanges (DEXs) that are coming up to support the financial activities going on in the DeFi space. Source: https://blockster.com/blockdesk/1522_pancakeswap-vs-sushiswap-which-is-better

I never used sushiswap to be honest, i don't really know the reason for that but i just never had to do that. I use pancakeswap for the tokens that i trade that are running on the binance smart chain and if i want to trade Tokens on the ethereum chain i use uniswap for that. I have not used other AMM dexes so far of other chains. That sushiswap offers a multi-chain functionality sounds great as you can do all your trades no matter on what chain they are in 1 platform and you don't have to switch around. I also like to continue to support uniswap though because they were the first of it's kind back then when they launched and without uniswap there would probably be no Defi today.

I must agree here. Mbappe, Neymar and Messi sound frightening, but they do not help much in defence, and sometimes it takes the whole team to defend. Ramos is injured one year, the big question is when and how he will return.
At this moment, I think they can't beat Chelsea or Manchester City.

100% this. Having big names in your team is good for marketing and to stir interest in the media and the fans, but it does not automatically mean that you are the crystal clear favorite for all titles and that you become unbeatable. Messi is a great player and without a doubt in the top 5 of all time great football players but he is already 34 years old now and probably behind its peak. I still think it was a good transfer for PSG because of the media and fan attention and of course they did not have to pay any transfer fees for him. I don't know though how how the salary for messi is per year. If he earns as much as he did in Barca back in the day (up to 555 M€ for 4 years), then that would be way to much for a single player.
2424  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are you scared? on: September 09, 2021, 10:19:47 AM
Bitcoin plummeted again on September 7 2021.BTC dropped by 54.7% on March 12 last year, by 12.54% on September 3 last year, and by 29.99% on May 19 this year. And 18.65% on September 7.
There were four reasons for the fall on September 7th:
1,The fall in US stocks caused Bitcoin to fall at the same time.
2,Singapore regulation.
3, SEC wants to sue coinbase.
4,It is related to El Salvador
Are you scared?Is there any hope for the future?

I am not scared at all. The main reason for that i that i only invest pretty small amounts into crypto and even if i lose this money completely it is not really changing anything in my daily life. Of course it would be very annoying for me, because i invested to make profit of course but it would not really have any effects on my life.
The recent dump of BTC was pretty unexpected for me and i was also surprised about how big and fast that dump was. At the moment it looks like the prices have stabilized again and i am pretty confident that they will start to grow again in a few days/weeks after we have seen a period of sideways movement.
2425  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 08, 2021, 06:08:20 PM

The previous season, RB had a great performance in Leipzig. If they hadn't lost form at the end of the season, Bayer Munich would have struggled to win the title. Dortmund, on the other hand, showed remarkable performances at the end of the season. Maybe Leipzig will fight for the title this season. Their team is stable enough.

It is true what you are saying and last season it was definitely possible for clubs like Dortmund or Leipzig to be in front of Bayern Munich if they would have managed to show their best performance, or at least close to that, during the whole season. That did not happen though and Bayern managed to win the title again even though they did not perform that well themself, at least compared to their own standards.
So Bayern needs to struggle a little in the Bundesliga and the other clubs need to show their very best just to have a chance to win the bundesliga title, which also means that, if Bayern is able to perform at their highest level or at least at 80% or so, they will win the Bundesliga title.
2426  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can you make money day trading Bitcoin? on: September 08, 2021, 06:02:07 PM
Of course it is possible to do day-trading with bitcoin, i mean there are traders out there that are day-trading traditional stocks for decades now and it also works there, so why shouldn't it work with Bitcoin. The volatility of BTC is way higher if you compare it to most traditional stocks, this also means that there is more potential profit to make with day-trading BTC. You are also right with your statement that day-trading can be stressful thing to do that pretty much takes up all of your time, so it is definitely not suited for someone that is only has superficial knowledge about cryptos and Bitcoin, like me. It is also true though that the more active you trade the more profit you can make, if you do the right trades of course.

I personally feel that Bottas is underrated and deserves more praise for his driving skills, and maybe he’s not the champion like you said but in his defence he was always asked to play a backup to Hamilton, hence let’s hope that next season he’s more competitive.
Also it’ll be interesting if Russell tries to get ahead of Hamilton, because we all know that Hamilton won’t play as a backup driver, and hence I expect some serious infighting between these two once the new season resumes.

New duo competitions are always fun to watch. I enjoy these every time. And Russell and Hamilton one is gonna be a banger Cool. It will be interesting to see how Hamilton reacts if Russell tries to get ahead of him. Will it backfire? Or will it be a healthy competition between the two? Only time will tell.

It was already reported that Hamilton is not very happy with the decision, that Bottas will be replaced by Russell in the next season as Hamilton would have preferred to continue with Bottas as his teammate. The reason for that is obvious, Russell is a very talented young driver with huge ambitions so he won't be happy to be the no.2 in the team like Bottas was.
I also agree that Bottas is a way better driver than some people think he is or than media and fans depict him sometimes. At least he is able to support hamilton during most races like in the last one, while Perez was very far away from the top positions.
2428  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Crypto dip today on: September 08, 2021, 10:46:41 AM
As expected 10-15% dip happened to almost all coins.Im surprised to see XRP 15% dip, btc only 10%.
How far will it go down ? Huh


I think the dip already happened yesterday and it was also a pretty hefty dip. Bitcoin went down from 50k to almost 44k in just 30 minutes, so that was definitely more than just a normal correction. The same happened with ETH, it went down from 3.700$ to 3.100 $ within 30 minutes. I am still not sure though what has caused this massive and fast price crash. Maybe it was because BTC is now an official method of payment in El Salvador and this did not have any positive effect on the price so that many people became nervous and decided to cash out some profits? At least it seems now that the dip have stopped and BTC is now again pretty stable at around 46k.
2429  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 07, 2021, 05:25:19 PM
today, after analyzing the data in its transfer matching system (TMS), fifa announced that a total of 7748 transfers have been made in this summer transfer window with a total volume of 3.72 billion USD - in 2020 there were 7771 (with a volume of an additional USD300 million more).
the english clubs have spent the most: 1.146 billion dollars, followed by the italian clubs with 473.8 million, on the third place the clubs from france with 428.9 million, on the 4th place the german bundesliga with 337.9 million dollars and on the 5th place of the top5 is spain with 325.4 million in spending on new players.
in terms of income, the german clubs are in first place with 462.7 million USD
https://www.kicker.de/wo-deutschland-weltweit-vorn-liegt-fifa-zieht-transferfenster-bilanz-870826/artikel


Interesting statistics and it seems that the whole covid pandemic did not have that big of an impact on the whole football market. The two biggest transfers of this period did not even generate that much transfer volume because messi was a free agent basically and Cristiano Ronaldo did also "only" cost 15 M€ of transfer fee. It is also no wonder, that England spent by far the most money again as they just have such a crazy high paying TV contract that they can afford to spend huge amounts of money every year. ManCity spent 117,5 M€ for grealish, a player that has a market value of around 65M€. This is just one example of how unjustifiably high transfer fees are in England.
2430  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stocks Vs Crypto, Which is Better? on: September 07, 2021, 05:07:24 PM
After the stock investment boom in mid-2020, now the investment trend is shifting to cryptocurrency (digital currency). In mid-2021, cryptocurrency seized a lot of public attention because it had spiked sharply several times.
Elon Musk's tweet on his personal Twitter, has become one of the factors that cryptocurrency is ogled by many people. However, if you don't want to lose, you can't just invest. Therefore, in-depth understanding and analysis is required before deciding to invest.
What is your opinion ?

I don't think that there is a "better" or "worse" regarding cryptos and stocks, it always depends on what your goals with your investment are. If you have a significant amount of money (like 10k $+) that you want to invest but you also want to stay relatively safe with your investment then i would choose stocks from a well known and established company to invest. If you want to go down the riskier route and maybe only have a few hundred bucks of spare money that you can invest then i would probably go for cryptos instead. Even within the crypto space there are still many options that have huge differences in terms of risk and potential profit.
2431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: September 07, 2021, 10:16:46 AM
Today we will have another game day, in the European qualifying. What will the results be?

Group A: Azerbaijan vs Portugal, Republic of Ireland vs Serbia
Group D: Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Kazakhstan, France vs Finland
Group F: Austria vs Scotland, Denmark vs Israel, Faroe Islands vs Moldova
Group G: Montenegro vs Latvia, Netherlands vs Turkey, Norway vs Gibraltar
Group H: Croatia vs Slovenia, Russia vs Malta, Slovakia vs Cyprus

I have to say, that the outcome of most of these matches seems pretty clear to me, at least on paper. My picks for the winning sides would be Portugal, Serbia, Bosnia, France, Austria, Denmark, Faroe vs Moldova i think that  Faroe is the slight favorite but a draw is also very much possible, Montenegro, Netherlands vs. Turkey is also not that clear to me, as Turkey performed very poorly in the European championships but so far they delivered in the world cup qualifiers i would say that the Netherlands are the slight favorites here, then Norway, Croatia, Russia and Slovakia should have no problems again to win their matches.
2432  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should altcoin PoW mining be regulated/banned? on: September 07, 2021, 09:27:02 AM
When it comes to PoW and altcoins, very few of them decide to use SHA256 because of the enormous hashing power amassed by Bitcoin, so even a fraction of it could easily 51% attack an altcoin. For this reason alts have turned to GPU, CPU mining, and now even things like SSD mining.

But there's a problem, this mining has created a huge demand for computer parts, the prices for them have skyrocketed to 2-4 times of the recommended price. Millions of people around the world can't get their hands on hardware for more than a year, and it's not only gamers but also professionals and researchers, while these altcoins don't create anything useful for society, only speculation as a zero sum game. Should the government step in and do something about it? The simplest thing would be do ban mining on PC parts, and order exchanges to delist all the PoW altcoins. If the US and EU would do this, PoW altcoins would be effectively dead.

It seems to me that PoW mechanisms are not really the future of the cryptospace, no matter if its PoW with dedicated mining hardware, GPU's, CPU's or SSD's. The reason for that is pretty simple: unnecessary energy consumption. We are in a time where the climate change is probably the most discussed topic in most of the countries in the world right now, at least in the western world and it would not be to smart for crypto projects to choose PoW as their consensus mechanism because that would be very unpopular in the current political environment. Consensus mechanism like PoS are way more light in terms of hardware requirements and energy consumption.

Djokovic started poorly, but completed match easily, it was 3:1 in the end, but seems that Novak is getting used to lose first set on grand slams, in training mode
Zverev played really good, and it will be clash in semi-final, although bookies are heavily on Djokovic side at the moment, with winning the tournament bid at @1.65


When i watched the match of djokovic vs brooksby it looked to me, that djokovic was losing that first set almost voluntarily or just used it to warm himself up or something like that. The commentator was like "omg djokovic losing the first set with 1-6 games, the last time this happend was a year ago". Then in the following sets it was a completely dominating performance by djokovic again. I don't know whats going on with the joker and the first set of matches but is is really odd. Maybe some friends of djokovic are betting that he loses the first set or stuff like that, because i really think you could have won that first set too if he wanted.
2434  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is $52,000 BTC worth buying now? on: September 07, 2021, 08:37:06 AM
BTC may fall back again.There are repeated BTC, and you will never miss the "opportunity to get on the bus",pls wait.

You have to decide for yourself if a price of 52k per BTC is still a good place to enter. My personal opinion is that i will not buy BTC at that price levels because i just don't see BTC doing another x10 or more from this point on in the next few years. I think that other projects still have that potential. On the other hand if you buy BTC now and hodl it for a few years i am also pretty sure that you will have several opportunities in this few years to sell your BTC for a profit of at least 10% to maybe 100% and BTC is by far the safest investement that you can make in the crypto world. My altcoin portfolio was down more than 90% compared to it's ATH back in may and is still down more than 80% at this moment while the losses for BTC where pretty small.
2435  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what's wrong with uniswap? on: September 06, 2021, 06:06:33 PM
recently uniswap reported about the fee on 27/8/2021 with a fantastic fee price, because many altcoins use uniswap swaps, What do you think?


That is not really the fault of Uniswap because they are built upon the Ethereum blockchain and a swap is a action that requires more than 1 transaction on the blockchain which is also the reason why a swap costs so much ETH for gas fees. When the gas fees are low it does not really matter that much because if you pay 2 or 5 dollars on fees for a swap is not that big of a different if you trade more than 100$ but in times of extremely high gas fees like during the time when the image you posted was made uniswap is almost unusable for normal and smaller trades. Who would make a swap that is worth 50$ if he has to pay 80 dollars in fees for it?
2436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ESPORTS - predictions and tips (Dota 2, CS:GO, LoL) on: September 06, 2021, 12:33:50 PM
[DOTA 2, Monday September 6th] OGA Dota PIT Invitational is kicking off today. With a 5 day event, OGA Dota Pit is looking to fill the void that we have until we are waiting for The International. 8 teams have been invited to this event, and today we are following 3 amazing matches. Here are my picks and predictions for Day 1 of this online event.

T1 vs Team Spirit: Team Spirit ML | ANALYSIS & ODDS
Fnatic vs Thunder Predator: Fnatic ML | ANALYSIS & ODDS
Tundra vs SG esport: Tundra -1.5 | ANALYSIS & ODDS

What a nice surprise. If i did not look up this thread here i would have totally missed that tournament and i really enjoy watching a good game of dota in the evening instead of that stupid stuff that is on TV. The teams that are invited are really great also very good: T1, Tundra, Team Spirit, Fnatic and also PSG.LGD. According to liquipedia LGD is playing with their coach xiao8 again instead of nothingtosay. I really enjoyed watching them during ESL one fall with their uncommon picking and playstyle. The same is true for Tundra esports so i am very confident, that we see a lot of great and exciting games in the coming days. I think either Tundra or LGD will win this tournament.

The more we touch a support level, the weaker the support will be. Accumulation time is coming guys. Additionally, which coin will you short? Me: I short coins that I want to accumulate

Accumulation time is a very subjective term in my opinion. I personally have a very hard time to buy BTC and ETH maybe in a few weeks for 48k per BTC or 3.5k per ETH just because it dumped a bit in comparison to the weeks before, because a few months or years ago i could have bought  BTC for under 10k and ETH for under 1k $. I am also not so sure if really see a correction so soon, i mean we are still a good chunk away from the ATH of BTC and still a little 200 bucks per ETH away from it's ATH from back in may. Of course a small correction can happen anytime out of nowhere but i don't see a majo price drop of >10% in the near future.

^  Yup..  The race is uneventful and very boring tbh.  I stopped watching around lap 63 and started watching UFC replays.  Lol.  The Belgian GP would’ve been the fun one as the track allows more overtaking than the average number per race.  

Italy next weekend.  Let’s hope for a more exciting race.  Cheesy

Yeah it was indeed a very boring race to watch as we did not see any real overtaking in the first few positions. We only saw verstappen overtake bottas but that was also a pretty easy one because bottas already had very old tires that did not have much grip anymore. The most exciting things that happened were the pit stops of verstappen and hamilton, but both pit crews did not many mistakes.
Also it seems like the fight between the 2 Haas rookies is slowly but surely escalating.
2439  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: They do not want the great riches... on: September 05, 2021, 05:51:28 PM
They want the baby gains. Invest 1000 into ethereum for a chance to make 50 lousy bucks a month.

They do not want to invest in the heavily undervalued, newer projects that could make them rich.

I made a thread about a crypto gem called oneledger here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5352752.0


I would guess that your post is just an attempt to shill a coin to us where you hold a bag of in order to pump its price, but i will give you the benefit of the doubt and i will bite. Yes it is definitely true that you most likely won't see another 50x if you invest into ethereum now because it is already to big to do that, but it also is a pretty safe investment at least in comparison to other crypto project. If we take a look at the project that you recommended for example than it is maybe possible that it does a 50x but it is also possible that it goes down 99%.
2440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Metaverse x Gambling on: September 05, 2021, 07:50:00 AM
Who else thinks that these kind of thing may hit mainstream sooner or later? I don't know if this is something new but seen a  news from Decentral Games that they are launching a play-to-earn Metaverse poker. Others predict next to NFTs boom that it could the the Metaverse hype. Any thoughts?

There are some metaverse projects out there that are trying to deliver more than a game but a whole set of Tools that allow their players and content creators to create their own content inside the metaverse. Netvrk is one of that projects and a user or even a big casino itself building a copy of its physical building inside the metaverse is definitely an idea that sounds very interesting. Therefore they could also reach people that have not thought about gambling before.
