Real Madrid might want to reconsider selling some of their forwards now. Marco Asensio ruptured his ligaments last week and Jovic got injured in the previous match as well. Some reports say that it could be serious. Maybe Gareth Bale or James could get another chance to shine because of all this.

According to the news I just shared above, it seems that Bale and Real have already officially split.
It's really strange that Real has so many injuries of the key players at the very beginning of the season.
Also, judging by the reports of the match against Atlético Madrid, they started very badly in the season.

Gareth Bale is set to move to a Chinese club with a record salary for him. Probably to Jiangsu with a euro 1 million+ a week.
Zidane was the one who insisted and pushed him and Bale had to made a decision.
This leaves Real with very few options unless they bring in some forward from elsewhere.

^  Real's time is now!  I hope they lose a match in their first 5 - 8 fixtures.  That could make their line on winning La Liga go to 5 or so.  Grin  The last time I checked, it was around 3ish...  Not much value in there imo. 


Check the odds now. Atletico trashed them 7:3 last night. It was 5:0 at half time. Didn't watch the game but I saw few hilarious pictures like Bale having time of his life while the team is conceding.

Add to that all the injuries happening to them, yesterday they lost Jovic and Modric, the odds could be growing nicely. It seems Bale signed for some Chinese club so he is gone too, not that Zidane will miss him much.

And I'm actually feeling sorry for Zidane, This season is going to tarnish his career as a coach unless he be able to do some magic. Most of the players in the team are out of form Real really needs some fresh faces.  Not a great fan of Real Madrid but I still love Zidane and hope Real would at least be able to play the Champions league this next year (20/21).
2483  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: great projects to get in while the price is low -- low supply projects only on: July 27, 2019, 03:17:04 PM
I would be promoting about BNB here. Though it's not as low supplied as many of the coins discussed here, it would be lower in supply than the current circulating amount of ETH. And with it's quick and cheap transactions and backing by one of the largest private business in crypto, it looks to have a brighter future. With it being a fuel for the Binance dex, its demand would be ever increasing while the supply would be limited.

What is going on with American national basketball team?
A lot of players have given up from playing for the national team at the World Championships.
Anthony Davis, CJ McCollum, James Harden, Eric Gordon, Tobias Harris, Bradley Beal, Damian Lillard, DeMar DeRozan, Kevin Love and recently Paul Millsap.
It seems that Kyle Lowry is also very close to give up, according to some rumors.
I think that this time Serbia really have good chance to beat USA, what do you think?

NBA is becoming more and more politics every year. And there's no solid reason for any of the NBA stars refusing to play for the national team. Though all of them have some alibi, it's definitely their choice rather than the situation.
As of the winning team, I still don't think USA has any tough competitor for this tournament. With the current double league, only the best teams would reach the Quarters.
2485  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do You Think Tron will overcome this FUDS on: July 27, 2019, 01:46:19 PM
But we also should realise not every news about Tron are FUDs. Justin Sun the frontman of the project is facing serious accusations back home and he personally did apologize for hyping himself and his project and promised to stay low until things gets better. We still hope, he would be cleared of every accusations and Tron would again rise up as a promising alternative in utility sector.
2486  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Adoption Over Bull Run on: July 26, 2019, 02:28:49 PM
I see a lot of people complaining about the volatility of crypto market with the prices of all their altcoins have reducing drastically, and they hope for the bull run to come and everything should increase. I think that the bull run is not the best solution to the volatility of the crypto market, but adoption.

The best and main solution to the volatility of the crypto market is real world adoption. There are alot of cryptocurrency project that are very good and innovative but are not yet adopted that people outside the crypto space (which is a few percentage of the world economy), therefore there value is subjected to the market changes. But if they get adopted by the real world and there token value is based on the real economy (i.e daily usage by people) then the value would be on the increase regardless of whether the market is bullish or bearish.

You are correct but where there's limited supply and speculation, no currency would have a natural price. Almost all of crypto currency are inflated in price just due to speculation. Adoption and use is the real determinant of the price but it has in real very low effect on the current price of altcoins.
2487  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Brave Browser: Now users can earn Basic Attention Token (BAT) for viewing ads on: July 25, 2019, 01:57:14 PM
You can now withdraw BATs earned from ads after verifying your wallet with Uphold
However, brave browser's users whom want to get their BATs, have to do and surpass KYCs. Honestly I have never had good feelings with KYCs, because we all don't know what will happen, especially with our identities. Facebook can leak their users data, so what if Brave browser leaks their users data (that they collect from KYCs)?

This is due to all the device farmings people do in order to earn more. They do have to implement some ways to stop fraud and they implemented what was easy for them. But the users of brave are actually privacy focused and when they are asking for identity, most of them would not provide or some may even stop using the browser as the so called earnings are low and the risk involved in providing the identity is high.

Oscar was a good player with Chelsea only the first season of joining the team.
From that season and then, he didn't seem to be the next talented player that would compete Ronaldo and Messi, or reach their levels of performance. Good for him that he got transferred in China and got a lot of money.

No current player in football is on the level Ronaldo & Messi have displayed over the last 10 years. The other top players are several levels below - Griezmann, Salah, Mane, Neymar. Maybe the heir to Ronaldo’s & Messi’s throne is Mbappe but he still has a lot to prove.

There have been a few on the same level such as Ronaldinho and Kaka but they don't have the longevity that Ronaldo and Messi have.  Also  Ronaldo and Messi might look a little better than they really are because they both always played on stacked teams.

Brazilian (the original) Ronaldo is the best player I’ve ever seen. I’d argue he was better than Messi & Portuguese Ronaldo. Injuries robbed him from fulfilling his considerable potential though.

Football in the past was a bit different from the present and would be different in the future. You can compare the contemporary players with stats but can't do the same with players in different time. There are several benefits today's generation enjoys in comparison to the past generations. We just need to appreciate good players of all times.
2489  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I would move for security if it’s really better on: July 25, 2019, 12:15:55 PM
people are losing millions from hacks...investors are scared to invest...the industry needs to move past this to gain investors trust.  Undecided

What we need to consider is there are risks everywhere and higher the risks, higher would be the chances of profit and a low risk investment yields low profits. If you really want to be secure, you could deposit your money into the banks.
I don't mean to say everythings happening right in the crypto world but what we should realize is as we moves towards a safer crypto investments, our profit would also be way lower as each and every people would jump in.
2490  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which crypto social platforms do you use? on: July 25, 2019, 12:00:03 PM
Tired of reading news platforms that are nothing but paid press-releases and interviews with yet another 'successful' founder of 'put any ico/ieo you could think of', I came up with an idea to search and study user-generated crypto platforms that could outstrip the other ones here on the Net.

The goal is to finally find an aggregator type of a platform with decent reviews, analytics, etc. No doubt the idea is pretty simple and trivial and there's already such a site as bitcointalk (which is number 1 rn), but I don't remember seeing files in a long read format often.

So, replying to the following questions would help me immensely:
Which of the platforms do you use and why?
What other platforms except for Bitcointalk forum you read?
Do you have your own blog on any of the platforms?

As you've said most of them are biased one way or other. Coindesk and Cointelegraph is what I use most and the TNW and Verge are also covering a wide range of crypto news now. Other than that, the google suggests me several related contents on the feed and I just read the ones that I find interesting.

Justin Sun's letter of apology issued on weibo on July 25th

Justin Sun's letter of apology:   Shocked

Dear friends, dear friends:

In the past period of time, this period belongs to the dark moment when I am sick and sick. I experienced unprecedented storms, doubts and pains. I stayed up all night, and I deeply reflected on my past words and deeds and over-marketed myself. I am deeply grateful for the hype, and I would like to express my sincere apologies to the public, the media, and the leaders and regulators who care for me!

So he basically accepting he failed and the accusations back home on him are true.
And it's not entirely his fault, a small computer geek being glorified as the next Vitalik Buterin or more. He's so used to for the fame but could do nothing for the management and leading of the development of Tron. Like Vitalik, he should have took a small spotlight and let the community lead the development.

2492  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Exchanges that would list your coin for free or a very small fee? on: July 25, 2019, 01:51:57 AM
If you coin is a token (eg a ERC20), you can get it listed for free or on very cheap price on a decentralized exchange.
For popular DEX like Etherdelta, you can manually add the token and start trading without the involvement from the exchange site.
There are similar services for tokens from other platforms too.
2493  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to make money off cryptocurrency? on: July 24, 2019, 03:47:53 PM
I have been reading about exchanging sites. all of them have people who lost their money due to hacks, or investors got their accounts closed, frozen (Coindesk) without proper explanations, usually exchange sites let them deposit money, but they don't let them withdraw their money. No customer support.

How do you make money of cryptocurrency when the exchange sites are predators to hunt people's money? Decentralized trade sites maybe? If I read positive reviews about these centralized exchange sites , they doesn't seem genuine at all, most of the time, it looks like someone ordered them from Fiverr. Binance, Bitfinex with the Tether fiasco, Coinmama.... All of them looks like scummy attempt to get your money.

Hacks and frozen money is not a usual case. They are unusual. Exchange is a profitable business on its own. Established centralized exchanges would not ever do such things. They'd also try to cover any hacks from their own profit rather than deducting it from the balance of the users.
Dex are a solution to many things but they are still in their early stage to be as dependent as a Cex and require a lot more time for people to get used to.
2494  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Finally Leading Crypto Exchange Respond's on Trump’s Remark about Cryptocurrency on: July 24, 2019, 02:09:17 PM
Recently, the US president, Donald Trump made a controversial statement on Cryptocurrency. He stated, “He is not a bitcoin fan”.

Changpeng Zhao said that: Till Date, Trump Has Not Done Anything Positive Or Negative, He Just Said He’s Not A Bitcoin Fan. The Fact That He Tweeted About It, And The President Of The United States Is Talking About Cryptocurrency, It’s A Good Thing.

What's your point of view on this?

CZ always talks diplomatically. And he's actually right about it.
Trump doesn't knows much about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Most of the things that he heard had came from his advisers. He's hasn't actually made up his mind about bitcoin and the congress is still indecisive about it. US being one of the promoter of democracy and free speech, would have an extensive discussion and research before implementing any regulations.

I've been trading and if you know how exactly it works, it is an easy task to make a profit from day trading. Though there are risks involved and even the most professionals have failed but overall when you get the insight of it, your profit days would be much larger than the loss. The key is to limit your loss.
I'm earning an average of 15% per month trading crypto. I know it's not high as compared to some professional but it's still better and I'm playing it safe.
2496  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does Coinbase Have More Users Than Binance? on: July 24, 2019, 12:55:03 PM
Coinbase probably has a larger user base than Binance. Coinbase is here for a long time and it was the default wallet for the most of the early users of bitcoin. Still it's one of the best online multiwallet. It has increased the offering and quality of it's mobile wallet and has comparable transaction fees as of now.
Every people that have bitcoin doesn't necessarily trade. So, binance even is the largest crypto exchange, has a lesser number of users.

Couldn't verify about the accusations made on this post about Mr. Sun but what's in my knowledge is Tron is getting into some trouble as many of it's prominent members are leaving the team. Tron is still in it's early stages of development and losing some of the prominent minds behind it would surely hinder it's roadmap.

This has been the largest question for last couple of years. Before the introduction of stablecoins people jumped from BRC to alts when the price of Bitcoin started to decrease and vice versa when it increases but now people are moving towards stablecoins which is making it hard for allts to gain price.
2499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: KYC Process (Sportsbook) on: July 24, 2019, 02:34:46 AM
How is the KYC Process if you deposit with Bitcoin.

- ID
- Utility Bill

what else? Proof of Deposit, example Screenshot of your Wallet? Any other torture?

I haven't encountered any crypto based gambling site enforcing a KYC on me. Though there has been some cases of such.
It's easier to do a KYC with the ID and bank statement and most of the sites would stick with that at the current time.
I have always struggled to submit a Utility bill and would skip any sites implementing that.

Its sad to know that gayle will not be playing in series with India. Indian team is already very strong and there was only hope that gayle will give tough time to Indian bowlers. Now with no gayle, West Indies team will be very weak and there would be one sided matches.  Undecided
Gayle is in poor form these days and he will not bring any much good for the team if you think WI is not a good team. Would be a nice series if both team played away series. India will have the benefit of home. Otherwise, in t20, West Indies still a big team.
West Indies is a big team in T20, but they don't have any consistency in the game. If a player starts good then the same gets continued through the match. If the start gets out to the pavilion the same gets followed. This makes them struggle to score reaching an average total. Though it is home benefit for India, West Indies too have got equal winning opportunity.

The west Indian team does not lack good players. West Indies team has been mismanaged for some years now. But they still can turn the game any side with their individual performances. T20 is a format less predictable than others and a single player can make a difference. So we need to wait and watch how the things turns.
