I think Napoli did a good job this season after I saw how they are taking space from other teams, they theatrically win the title this season but other than all this and regardless of their performance in the league, they helped players like Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia to become superstars and now many top europian teams are interested to hire these players for next season.
It is not only a good job but an amazing achievement if compared to the previous seasons that they have. This season, their performance is really developing incredibly, under Spalletti's coaching, supported by several players who are currently shining and able to make a very reliable and good contribution to Napoli like Oshimen and others. This season is really surprising. Moreover, if they are able again to continue to the next round of the Champions League, this will be indeed an incredible achievement. Although this may be quite difficult to hold the Champion League title because of the strong clubs there.
We are waiting also the match between Napoli and Milan on April 3, this will be a great match before their big match in UCL, right? I believe Napoli will have higher chance to win.
The have an amazing stat this season. I mean out of 27 games they have won 23, drawn 2 and lost 2 which is something they have never done in the history of Seria A. Last season Milan and Inter competed for the scudetto till their last game last season. But here is Napoli leading Lazio with 19 point difference with only 11 games left to seal their title. Milan should be the only treat Napoli will have in their remaining games.  The Champions League race might not see less of their performance reasons been that if they have remained undefeated till this point of Quarter finals they might get even stronger and make it to the finals.

And don't you think this will create more opportunities for automation engineers, AI developers and Machine Learning engineers?. This is just the same case when Type writers employees and Cyber Cafe attendants were relieved of their jobs when laptops and mobile phones became rampant.

While people fear that AI and automations will relieve people of their jobs those who embrace the new trend and find a way to adapt to the new innovation by getting the required skills to fit into the technological trend get better offer. In every new era while jobs disappears new ones are created to either modify, perfect or improve on the outdated era.

Right, but we have to rely on the location of the forum servers.
They are located in the US, so you have to follow the laws of that country. Mixers are not illegal, but they are in the gray zone of the law, which can lead to problems (like some that have happened). Casinos are not illegal in the US.

So, the fact that residents (who can be considered employees) are asked to avoid advertising mixers (unless it is true that this request was made), this will allow for a better response to the authorities since they can argue that none of the team is involved in these projects (in a clear way).
It seems there are two contradictory statement here, at first it is pointed that Mixers are not illegal which is very true, So what other law of the country are the staffs meant to follow?, because if there are no laws there will be no violation, So it is obviously not related to where the forum server is located nor has anything to do with staffs who are residents in the US, If it was so the restriction would have been made public.

I just have the notion @Theymos didn't want to disclose the reason for asking staffs to stop advertising mixing services, I believe it should be for the interest of the staffs or yet still could still have a relationship with Chipmixer been shutdown.

I believe the sole aim of every investment is to meet up the needs of the investor. While we stick to hodling on a long term goal, at the same time we are hodling so our investment can help solve major challenges in the future.

That been said, for whatever reason a bitcoin investor is willing to sell their coin for as long as it has meet the pressing need of that moment it has served its purpose. The next target will be to buy more when new capital comes in. As long as the volatility still troubles the market there will always be newer opportunities to buy

Start by buying some coin. When you buy them visit any of the block explorers an example could be this. See how this coin got recorded on this explorer and check if it tallies with the balance you have on your wallet. Do this repeatedly for all transactions that way it will be very much easier to differentiate between the Bitcoin you bought and the blockchain that keeps the record.

You could as well watch videos and read books about how the both work but with owning this coins yourself it will be more easier to differentiate the two and know what role each is playing.
266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 28, 2023, 10:18:31 AM
Leverkusen will faced hard match this weekend that they will playing away at Schalke home ground and i know both teams are in the good shape especially Leverkusen that after beating Bayern Munich on Bundesliga and qualified to quarterfinal on europa league i am sure they are in the good mentally but their opponent Schalke also has been change became an so tough recently

And Schalke has successfully to strengthen their defense and improved their performance recently even Dortmund and Union Berlin were unable to gets full points from them and indeed based on head to head statistics i can see Leverkusen is the favourite but i don't think Schalke will be easily to beat so i am curious whether Leverkusen will be able to overcomes Schalke or not
Schalke has improved lately and their defense seems so solid following their recent games. Leverkusen on the other hand has maintained a good stat as well three straight win in the Bundles Liga while Schalke has been unbeaten in their last five games which could be a stat for a possible draw game.

Although bookies sees Leverkusen as the favourite of the both teams but from their recent performances Schalke has done so much to improve their defense, if they could play a 2:2 draw game with Dortmund and goalless draw with Berlin they can get a draw from Leverkusen as well.
267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: March 28, 2023, 10:04:44 AM
Even though the second leg played at home to Barcelona, that doesn't mean Real Madrid can't turn things around. I'm sure Real Madrid will be able to beat Barcelona in the second round. Just one goal to match the aggregate.
The last time Real Madrid lifted the Copa del Rey trophy was in 2014. And this is Real Madrid's wish for this year. In LaLiga, of course, the chances are getting slimmer, because the points are quite far from their rivals.
Agree. El Classico is always unique, it is difficult to predict. Sure, Barcelona has the advantage that they will play at home and they are now leading with 1 goal. But Real Madrid can be underestimated, they often won at Barcelona home. I am sure Real Madrid will play more aggressively in the second leg, especially if all their key players are available (no injured issue). Since Barcelona only leads with 1 goal, it is not impossible for Real Madrid to eliminate them. Let's see how Ancelotti can motivate Real Madrid players and how he can destroy Xavi's tactics.
Although is not impossible, they will find it hard to win. Moeda is sure that Madrid will be able to beat Barcelona, but I would not be so sure. Taking into account how they are playing in La Liga, and the latest results in other Clásicos, Barça is much more likely to win.

Anyway, that's how football is, so until the last moment we won't know for sure. But don't forget that, although the winner will play against a team that will be easier to beat, this is not the final and chances are that they lose La Copa even if they win the Clásico.
This is El Classico and it is difficult to say who wins no matter who is playing home or away. Home advantage is not much of a priority in El Classico because they game could go either way. In recent El Classicos Barca has won more games that doesn't change the fact they can still lose this even at Camp Nou. Madrid will try not to increase the number of times they have lost to Barcelona on a back to back game played in all competitions. The Copa Del Rey Semi-final leg 2 will spring more reactions than the finals itself because Madrid will be eager to turn things around and Barcelona will want to maintain their lead.

If the trading method is from your home, which means in person trade then it sounds like a fair deal. This to me looks very much like a scam free offer since both parties will operate from a visible point. I wish you the best of luck in your search do update us if you eventually find someone reliable.
269  Other / Meta / Re: Plagiarism Vs Scam on: March 27, 2023, 11:04:12 AM
Both are different offence with their own penalties. While plagiarism get a straight ban, scammers get negative trust. The negative trust i suspect is so that other users won't fall victim to the said user. If Scammers get outright ban just like  plagiarism their account might go hidden and not every one will get to know about their deeds and it will be more easier to create new accounts and to get more victims.

But in real sense a  plagiarist has high possibility of becoming a scammer. reasons been that if they can claim to own someone else work just for merits and fame they can as well nurture scamming and over time it begins to manifest.

I don't think Marseille have any chance to win the title this year not because psg is very strong but because they don't have anything left to play for after the champoins league elimination, psg will put all their efforts in the league 1 and they will surely get it again this year
Psg do not even have to put all their efforts into the Ligue 1 to win it, the other teams that can challenge them for the Ligue 1 title are very inconsistent, teams like Marseille, Lens and Monaco. Psg have been in poor form many times this season and if these teams were consistent, they should have taken the number 1 position from psg, but whenever the chance comes, they also start losing games. Psg are leading with 7 points right now and i am sure the advantage will get bigger, if the other big clubs in the Ligue 1 want to take the title from psg in any season, they have to be consistent.
You are probably right that PSG are without doubt in first place this season. Only 9 rounds left, of which the strongest club for PSG will be Lens. Their closest rival, Marseille, will have a tougher remaining games than PSG. Therefore, it will be almost impossible for them to pick up seven points to get to the top of the standings. But that's assuming PSG lose many games or draw a lot.
Although their remaining games have lots of walk overs the still have to play at their very best to avoid making silly mistakes that can cost them losing their place at a time like this where they are closer to the lifting their trophy. From all observation it is almost impossible for PSG to lose more than 1 game but sometimes over confidence can make things turn around so PSG still need to be at their very best to secure their trophy.

The game Juventus will be playing against Inter and Lazio won't be easy for Juventus,  this two teams are ahead of Juventus in points and I will say they have been better than Juventus in performance. I can't say if Juventus will have that strength  to  challenge Lazio and Inter.
I don't think you have been following Juventus games. If not for the point deduction Juventus would have been in the second position. Lazio happens to be a fortunate club they were able to climb when Juventus dropped due to point deduction. In the games Juventus have played this season against Inter and Lazio the haven't drawn any Juventus won all. The last game where Juventus and Inter ended in a red cards from both side, Juventus still won, at Inter's home. Juventus will win their next three games for sure and that will push them closer to the top 4

Normally Arsenal is going to crush Leeds as they are out of any competition after losing and being eliminated by Sporting Lisbon in Europa League with penalties.Their full focus is in the Premier League and Arsenal knows very well that the title can be won or lost against weaker teams as it is against such teams that they need extra motivation.So I know that Arsenal will take each game as a final in these last 11-12 games that have remained and they will not underestimate a single team.The crucial point will be if Arsenal will be able to win against a couple of strong teams they have to play against,if they win most likely they will be Premier League Champions this season.
Leeds shouldn't be a major problem for Arsenal, and this will be a very easy match. Arsenal must take advantage of this opportunity to score as many goals as they can because to maintain their position at the top of the table they have to get a lot of points so that the distance between first and second positions is very far and hard to chase.
It should be more goals this time for Arsenal. Their first meeting this season ended in a narrow victory with Arsenal scoring just one goal, this time they should find the back of the net with more goals, as they have  only the premier league left to contend for. Arsenal will obviously take advantage of the game to boast their chance   Secondly knowing too well they have four strong games ahead of them they won't want to waste this very opportunity of getting 3 points.
273  Other / Meta / Re: One new topic per month on: March 25, 2023, 05:16:25 PM
As an alternative: make it possible to create a new topic after receiving 10 new merits
If this is implemented newbies will be discouraged, the patience to stick around and learn forfeited and the use of AI might increase, because the urge to get 10 merit in order to create new topic will push users into looking for easy means. Imagine having to wait for 10 new merits before creating a new topic on a thread that will be beneficial to everyone.

There should be no restriction to how many post a user can create on a certain section as long as they are relevant and in sync with the aim of that section. Moderators are saddled with the responsibility of moving topics that are not meant to be in a particular board to where it rightly belongs which has been the best way of filtering sections and will still be the best solution.

I don't think that you understood his tweet correctly. His offer was not for anyone thinking that bitcoin won't reach 1 million and instead it was reply to a guy claiming that he is willing to take $1 million bet that US doesn't enter hyperinflation. Here's his tweet as well https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1636797265317867520


https://twitter.com/jdcmedlock/status/1636480393007489024
Thanks for the observation. When i saw the first line of Balaji tweet it was confusing because if he was making a claim that Bitcoin will hit $1m in 90 days and placing a bet on it. he will not start a statement with the phrase "I will take that bet". Which means it is an accepted challenge to a preceding post from James Medlock and OP wasn't discrete enough to drop the link so people could confirm the tweet themselves.

Villareal vs sociedad game will surely be an interesting one, especially for sociedad since betis team is only three points away from them and they can easily lose their fourth spot, villareal team performance improved in the last few rounds after an unfortunate succesion of bad results and they will be playing home it will surely be a tight game its hard to predict the outcome, villareal are the favourite and i agree with that but anything can happen.
You are right that the game between these two teams will be really competitive. Because both teams are performing roughly the same at present. However, the team that can apply more tactics and take advantage of the mistakes of the opposition team will be able to secure the victory.
Both teams are almost sharing the same stat but from their last fives games but Villarreal has made more improvement than Real Sociedad. Sociedad might be in need of the three point to strengthen their stand in fourth spot but Villarreal are playing home and following their recent improvement it might not be an easy one for Sociedad. This will be competitive game for both side. If Sociedad must hold on to the fourth place they will have to apply a very tactical strategy.

A situation that has to do with life and death can prompt me to sell some coin. But to be on the safer side it is best for hodlers to have other source of income so the don't get compelled to sell, which i can attest to. In life there will always arise situations that will make us want to sell some coin but if there are other means by which this problems can be solved the pressure of selling will be minimal and it will more easier and convenient to hodl until a 100% profit is made from the initial capital
277  Economy / Economics / Re: Is capitalism killing morality in the name of the law? on: March 25, 2023, 03:25:05 PM
Capitalism invariably has contributed to the creation of jobs and wealth, introduced new innovations, development and has brought prosperity in our today society. The height of competitiveness and capital accumulation it brings has incentivised business efficiency and growth. It might have tampered with the morals of todays society but to a larger extent it has improved the standard of living in the modern era.

Usury is part of capitalist society, its moral justification might be worthless but the honest truth is that to fit into the society without engaging in criminal act or money laundry Usury might just be one of the options. But come to think of it even the borrower no one know their intent when taking the loan. They too can ignite inflation in their own business. Majority of people in the capitalist society are guilty of the same act. The immoral living is not in Usurers alone even the local business vendors are guilty of the same act just that each does their differently.
278  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how will it be? on: March 25, 2023, 02:53:37 PM
Bitcoin price is currently 28k and I have 5k usd fund which I want to invest in crypto currency, and want to make this investment for long term, want to wait until next ATH or touch current ATH.
Do you think it would be perfect to invest in Bitcoin now or should I wait for a few more days to get a good DIP?
I am actually very weak in analysis so I would like to know from your personal analysis that Bitcoin can go below 20k again?
Waiting might be a risky adventure, What if price continues to pump? Buying depends on what you define as long term? If your long term means holding no matter what happens then it is not bad to buy at this price, But if your definition of long term is just for few months i think waiting to see if price could sell a little more before buying will be a better option.

Alternatively to be on the safer side apply DCA, divide the capital into fractions you could risk 45% now then wait to see if price could fall further, if it does then you can risk buying at the new price. I used the term risk because the market is unpredictable it can move in either direction after wards.

Regarding the match between Manchester United and Newcastle, it will certainly be a test for Erik Ten Hag in extending his positive trend this season with the Red Devils. What's more, the potential to win is quite big and on paper Manchester United is superior. However, it seems that Casemiro will not be able to join to strengthen the midfield, which indeed cannot be replaced. Need an ideal option in midfield because, without a red card sanction, Erik Ten Hag needs to change the rotation of the game.
This won't be a challenge any more for Ten Hag. Newcastle was defeated by Manu in the EFL cup finals with 2 goals to nothing, Newcastle would have been a challenge to Ten Hag if they were maintaining they pace they used when the season started. For now they are inconsistent and unpredictable. So far this season Newcastle have been unable to defeat Manu in all competitions. Casemiro will be missed in this very match but Fred can fit in to strengthen the midfield.
280  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / How we lived when we had no choice until Bitcoin came on: March 24, 2023, 12:38:25 PM
Over time what ever we owned was been accounted for, If we invest in landed properties we are given government issued documents to seal our ownership, if we wanted to invest in gold or any other precious metal it will require us having a sort of ID that permits the buyer and seller to operate legally. Everything we could ever own is subject to close monitoring. It can as well said to be safe guarded by this same systems.

Those who didn't want to account for their properties went through the back doors and yet their investments were vulnerable to all sorts of attacks, which included confiscation, theft, oppression even loss due to lack of document to claim ownership. To stand a chance of having your properties safe and secure means having to trust the government. While this might not be a bad idea but what if this properties get seized, what if this properties get confiscated, what if along the line one is denied access to their properties.




Some offence might warrant search operatives to visit homes of the suspects to ensure the confiscate all their valuable properties. This is where the importance of owning Bitcoin comes into play. It can come in very useful in times like this. No one ever prays for bad events to occur but most of this things happens and sometimes the suspects might be tried and later discovered to be innocent but how about the moments of hardship they encountered while the trial was ongoing.
 
Since the invention of Bitcoin we have seen it as an investment option, a p2p transaction mechanism, a means of making anonymous donations and lots more. Now looking at it from the perspective of making anonymous savings incase of unplanned circumstance. Some times this circumstance can come in the form of set up or envy just to pull a fellow down.
