I don't think everyone trust USDT. But a lot are still using USDT, that I know of. I, for one, don't trust USDT to hold it long-term, only for trading purposes. Way back in 2019, they admitted that they are not fully backed with assets. From that time, I doubt about their claims up until now. Who can attest that they do have actual assets in place. We are talking billions and billions of USDT here. And the audits, how honest they are with their results?
I think the main reason we still use it even though we do not trust it that much is the fact that it is not going to be something simple to just stop using it. I mean the trust may not be there, but the utility is there which means that plenty of people will have to use it without wanting to. If there was a better alternative that we could trust, something that is viable and available everywhere, then we would switch to that for sure but unfortunately that didn't happen and that's the issue. I believe that we couldn't really do something about it just yet, but when the time comes a better alternative will come out eventually for everyone.

Best position that could happen to Bayern. Beating Union Berlin and then seeing Dortmund play against Leipzig next. If anything is going to make this season interesting, Dortmund must win this game I guess.
I thought that Union Berlin is a hard nut to crack, but in this game Bayern was just superior.
For now it comes down to Dortmund.
Dortmund has been playing well enough that they could beat Leipzig as well, of course there is no guarantee, as I always say even Bayern could lose to Schalke and we shouldn't be shocked because we have been experiencing like this many times. But, if Dortmund and Bayern keeps winning for a few more games and they basically get away from everyone and be the top two clearly? That should give a ton of viewing pleasure, in fact even if they end up losing, the fact that teams are close to each other says a lot about the league. It's not Bayerns league that they dominate anymore, it's close to each other and a few losses could see you drop as further as out of UCL, so everyone including Bayern should be careful.

Bayern Munich has made a slight mess of it at the moment. But we can also say that other teams have closed the gap with Bayern more. We have to take teams like Union Berlin seriously if you look at the results they have achieved in recent weeks. This can still be a big and difficult job for Bayern Munich, possibly that they will not even become champions of Germany. I would like to know what Bayern's odds are now to become champions.
I definitely agree that Bayern may not be playing amazingly, but other teams are getting better is the right answer. Like when was the last time Dortmund or even Union Berlin played this well? Union Berlin was 5th last year, 7th before that and 11th before that. They got a momentum and got better basically every single year so far and this year it looks like at worst they will be third, a very good improvement trajectory, wouldn't be shocked if they end up winning next year if they keep this improvement going. This shows that Bayern is not at their top level this season, but also other teams are getting better which made them a lot closer than Bayern would have wanted.

Napoli is playing an amazing season. There is no need to think twice when they have a two goal lead. The game is over and they will patiently take it home. This is what they did this time and what they will do next time.
Napoli are just waiting for the end of this season, because there is no chance for other clubs to catch up, because Napoli have had the upper hand in several matches that Napoli has played, always showing positive values and always winning over their opponents, Napoli ended this season well even though they are still running, but the Serie A League has already appointed who will come out as Champion this season, so this will be the championship that the people of Napoli have been waiting for. I think it's already on offices and not on the field part of the club. What I mean is that they are probably trying to find which of their players could be sold for how much, and for that much money who they could get. To be fair you could spend 10-20 million euro and get a good striker, not an amazing one but good enough, and for 100 million you could build a team for Serie A that could be going to UCL (top 4 I think) and that is what they will get, more than that money. So right now, they are basically calling up every team and learning what's the offer for their players and calling other teams to learn who they could get for cheaper and all that, because this year is already over.

another piece of news from stupid owner. It seems like todd wants to see his own club to be relegated to the championship league. I don't know how chelsea's director was not even feeling frustated with its club after very poor performance under potter? Chelsea was always getting lose against another team while another big clubs were starting to wake up from their sleeps. Todd needs to take a harsh decision to sack him. Potter was still an amateur coach and he needs to get more experience in the low tier club.
He is not having any capabilities to handle the big club with so many problems like that. I think that the result gonna be different if it was the special one.
That MUST be just saving face in front of the media, and then sacking him behind closed doors. No way that they would allow Porter to keep on managing after such a horrible season, there is no way that they should, it would be beyond logical for them to let him manage the club. I get that it is not going to be easy to replace him right now, so they can keep him until end of the season, but by the end of the season they should stop spending another half a billion on new players, and focus on who they can get as their manager. Pep might be available if City gets punished, and with that they can definitely build a team that can win the title in a few years.

-cut- Faucet is meant only to try the casino feature and not as a source of profit. User that staying on the casino for this kind of mere bonuses usually doesn’t play at all just and just leeching the casino.
Yeah i find this a difficult concept. I definitely see it as a source of profit because what would be other reasons any site would have have it? What's the difference of being a feature and source of income? People wouldn't use faucets as source of income years ago even though they paid good money in these days standard. I only see it being abused when it's done by bots, not by poor users clicking it daily. You are underestimating how much money is required in many low income nations. I have heard of nations where you can live with 30-40 dollars a month, not a good living, but survive nevertheless, and that's an important part of why we are seeing these people. I am not saying these are not bots, of course it's mostly bots, but I have seen people who farm these things, like 10+ different phones, and 10+ different faucets they could use, or any other free coin giving thing, and they would do it everyday like it's a job and would make like maybe 100 bucks a month from it, which is good enough to live a above poverty level life. So it's really sad, but it's unfortunately true that some of it could be humans.

Litecoin was a coin that was highly regarded years ago but it has lost the attractiveness that it used to have to other altcoins.
Now it is still one of best coins we have but I do not see too much enthusiasm about it anymore, so it seems it is slowly losing influence and this is bad for litecoin, as in my experience when I buy something online dogecoin seems to be a more popular form of payment than litecoin at the moment and this means merchants are not in a rush to accept litecoin payments.
It may not be as strong as it used to be, but the fact that even after 11 years it is still one of the best, that means that it is actually quite strong. Not being as strong as it used to be and not being strong is not the same, it may lost some power, but it is still one of the most powerful ones out there. I believe that when the next bull run hits, it is going to get into top 20 and even get close to top 15 again. Because while some others could lose hype, litecoin does not run on hype, it runs on fundamental community that has been around for a long time, and it doesn't require people to pump it, people already like it as what it is currently.

It should actually say... "Fix the governments and then fix the money" ...because governments are at the core of the problem with money. They are the main cause of inflation and hyper inflation, due to poor economic policies and bad implementation of these policies. You are 1000% correct but believe it or not its near impossible to fix the whole government in a country politic is number one Fixing the government is actually quite easy, we just don't do it unfortunately. You just elect people who are honest and not corrupt and you end up with a good nation. There are plenty of nations that does this, they check a politician and if their promises align with being better for the nation they elect that person, but 99% of the worlds countries elect people who would be bad towards their opponents, if you are left wing you elect someone who hates right wing, if you are right wing you elect someone who hates left wing, nobody elects someone who loves everyone, left right rich poor old young, we need to elect someone who loves them all, and hates nobody.

We will see how Barcelona takes things now that they have left the Europa League, they will focus only on La Liga. Barcelona appear to have agreed to a new contract for one of their veterans, with a deal set to be signed on Tuesday, According to Sport, amongst multiple sources, Sergi Roberto will sign a new deal on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old signed a new contract on a vastly reduced wage last season, after his deal had expired at the club. There was plenty of speculation about whether Barcelona should retain Roberto, but Xavi Hernandez has defended him staunchly throughout his tenure as manager As of today Barcelona is the winner of la liga without a doubt, no doubt about it at all. Because Real will keep on playing at UCL, they won't be losing to Liverpool by 3+ goals, so they are going to next stage and still have to play in the cup and all that, whereas Barcelona only needs to care about the league at this moment, and could rest their players during these periods and could only make them play the league games which they will be basically 100% ready for each time. It is not something to be happy about, they would rather win the Europa cup if they could, but it definitely guaranteed their title in my mind, no way they can lose it now.

The worst thing is that these earthquakes obviously don't stop and they are coming up again and again. Not as strong as this biggest one was, but still strong enough to kill people. I think many of the players who come from somewhere else also have a family they must protect. Switching gears mentally is brutally hard, but for some people the sport might be the best medicine to quickly recover. Are there reliable sources that provide information in how far soccer players and soccer teams have been affected? The whole catastrophe reminds me of the Munich Air Disaster when the Manchester United team was on board and crashed and 8 players and 3 staff guys died. I have never watched the full documentary about it, but when I read your comments here the question really arises how players deal with death of their teammates afterward and how fast these clubs return to business as usual. Yeah, this was bigger than an air crash, because there were 50k+ people dead, probably more. Imagine living in a city where 50+ thousand people died, how would you feel if that happened and you barely survived in a city with that many dead people, I am not even talking about injured people who are alive, that's in 100+ thousand level easily, and millions who do not even have a home, MILLIONS. This is going to take so much out of these players, no gardener will be able to go back to gardening anytime soon, no lawyer, no student, no teacher, no accountant, doesn't matter what job you were doing, if you got out of there relatively healthy, it will take a while for the psychological issues to calm down.

Bitcoin is the primary coin while ETH is next to it so if you invest in these coins then you made a right choice. But as others have pointed out already, don't just blindly invest or rely in our suggestions because it's not wise to enter in any investment opportunity without knowledge about it. So always do your diligent research to avoid committing mistakes.
I agree that if you can't make a guess or prediction by yourself and you have to rely on others to make it for you then it is not really a healthy investment to begin with. It would be much better if people could research all the coins they want, and make their own decisions if it will go up or not. I personally just buy more and more bitcoin these days, and there is really not a lot of research required for it neither, it is mostly done by itself and you are not required to do a lot of research. It is going to go up, maybe not today, maybe not in another year too much, but it will go up, that is my own decision and my own prediction and I invest accordingly.

PSG are of course the favourite side however the odd gap is not too high either. Marseille are the home team which is a big factor for that. Besides Marseille have been doing a great job for many weeks as well. They have been able to maintain the five-point difference thanks to a good form. It is lovely to see this title race alive as well because we aren't used to see this often. PSG have mostly dominated the league for so many years.
You know that Marseille defeated PSG in the Coupe de France a few weeks before. It isn't impossible for them to do this again as well of course. Besides PSG have had problems against this kind of teams in away matches so far. It is better to be careful before betting on PSG I think.
if you want playing safe, bet draw is good. that's the most likely result if compare in the last match from both team. but for sure, it's not bet suggestion. I most likely to do that when I look how PSG performance is look decrease after the middle on stage. While Marseille is look increase in slow but sure. And, the competition is interesting to wait if the different point is not too far, like 2 different point. People lost their belief in PSG by the looks of it. I still think that in ANY game that PSG plays, betting against their win is not really a safe bet. I believe that they will either win it easily, or they will have a shocking result which is a draw or even a loss, which happens time to time and not impossible but looking at overall rate, winning is still the most likely thing that they do. They played 7 games in UCL so far, winning 4 of them, 2 draws and recently got their first loss, played 24 games in ligue 1, won 18 of them, got 3 draws and 3 losses. Which comes down to 31 makes, 22 wins, good enough rate that they mostly win, and I would bet they could again.

80k this year is a 1% outcome certainly less then 10% because it requires far more accumulation and run up then we actually have under way. Yes we started the year off to a good start but for a target like this you will get a considerable amount of selling along the way. Even with selling we can get to 80k of course but with that decay from momentum upwards you require more power to BTC run up then what we have. I prefer the person who said is this like 2019, the sharp move up then back down; this is more probable then straight upwards. My guess is still consolidation, foundation building. Straight up is a rocket trajectory, then we explode at the top with fireworks and descend with little support. Dont mourn the lack of 80k when the full picture is that the nature of how we get there is more important. People who focus on big numbers have one objective at that target, to sell but problem is so does every other share participant in that race. It become a treadmill or carrot and stick type of feedback scenario that is really negative. BTC can be alot more then just a price or trade, the regular usage is a ton more important and in the end profitable I think Maybe it will go up a lot more? Maybe we will hit to a point where it is going to end up being a bit better? I mean think about it this way, we are not in a long term situation and all that, but we are in a situation where it could potentially increase. We don't have enough accumulation for it? We may get it. We don't have enough media attention? We may get it. Whatever is the reason we may not reach 80k with how we are, we could change that if the bull starts. I am not saying that will happen, I believe that 30-40k range is all we are going to get this year, not 80k, and that is why I agree with you but the fact that it could happen is all I care about right now.

AIs are only dependent on the information it has at its disposal. The timeliness and relevance of the information it receives is important to the whole decision making and its prediction of the outcome. If for instance, the information and AI have isn't updated or is lacking, there's a high chance that you'll lose your bet dependent on the AI result. This is why if ever you really plan to use one in the future, you have to verify and still double check.
Using AI could mean better percentage of winning to some, but let's admit it that it doesn't guarantee a win so you should still learn how to decipher and read the situation. AI can be helpful to influence our decision making, but do not solely rely on it. You still have to at least possess some knowledge about what you are betting for, in order for you to have higher chance in winning.
This is why it is not really an intelligence and it's machine learning, which has been talked about a million times so far, I know, and it's definitely a sad situation that we do not have any AI technology at all, I would love to see one before I die, something that can think by itself and not need you to provide data to have information, it can think and come to its own conclusions and all, that's AI, this is just machine learning and nothing more. But I agree that something regarding trading, investing, gambling, and many other things will happen in the future, even if it's machine learning, it will happen and it will be a lot of help to people who are having hard time doing it themselves.

actually in my opinion bitcoin is better in my opinion which is of course very safe, but there is nothing wrong with investing in altcoins as long as they are altcoins that have good potential for the future, and my altcoin of choice is ethereum because ethereum is the strongest altcoin, which is in great demand by public, and in my opinion ethereum is an altcoin that has a good future.
I think it would be smart to diversify carefully. Like you should have bitcoin just like you said, and that should be the biggest coin you hold, then a bit of ethereum and bnb and so forth, which would allow you to be in altcoin world but not low enough, and then you could spend a tiny amount, like 10-20% of your portfolio in those smaller ones, not all of that into just a single token though, I mean total, that way you would have like 2% of something small, and have 10 of them and it would be either very good for you in the future if it goes up, or if not then bitcoin will grow enough to not care about your losses eventually anyway, it will be more than 2x eventually and that will cover your losses.

So you really believe that centralized exchange will return my money back if they will be stolen? Haha. It doesn't work like that anywhere. You have to be quite accurate as the only responsible person for your money is you. No one will ever deal with that.
On centralized exchanges, funds are usually insured. Therefore, investors do not need to worry about the safety of their assets. Thus, protect investors from many risks and unpredictability Where do you read this? I've never heard of exchanges insuring their customers' funds. Some exchanges do have what they call insurance fund, like Binance, but it only amounts to a fraction of their total liabilities. So it won't protect customers from those risks and in general you shouldn't feel safe storing your assets in exchange. This is common knowledge, you could always google it if you want, but this isn't true for many, specially for Binance, it's true for Kraken and Coinbase though. The thing is, it's not about insuring, but it's about the fact that it's on cold storage, at the same time we are talking about something "small" with FTX whereas something x100+ times bigger with Binance, you think it would be easy to collapse that? They would have make a 10+ billion dollar mistake, you don't make that big of a mistake with that kind of money. Plus, all they have to do is not use our money to fund anything and they will be fine, they are making so much money as it is anyway, why do that.

This is something that can be interpreted in various ways, first of all for lifelong Barcelona fans, they know that Busquets is a key player to win and it gives him more stability and he can have or exert more pressure in the game, Xavi They have a lot of players that they bought a long time ago, they have to use them because otherwise they would run out of options to face the greats, they also have Real Madrid breathing close and Man United.
But what I believe is that BARCELONA has fought so hard, I don't think they are going to let themselves win now in these games that are so crucial, Barcelona is in the Europa League for the second time in a row, the fans deserve to be there at UCL.
I agree that Barcelona will try to do their best to win, and they have players to replace each other, and they have a manager that can change the tactic to suit whoever they have, which is a lot better and could work well for them. I know it is not going to be easy, and I know they rather have him in the long run, but it's going to be not an impossible task to get someone else to play there and do as well as they could. We have seen them play so many different players this season due to injuries, and they still do so well, which I believe they will be capable of doing some more, be great at La Liga like they have been all season, and give United the hardest game of their season.

Manchester United has lost only one game out of eleven home games so far. Since Barcelona has to win it it's either through luck in a penalty shootout or they need a pretty good day to take this away from United.
Nantes vs. Juventus will be rough for Juventus I think. Nantes must be unbelievably motivated to brighten the final result of their season. If they make it against Juventus it is already a huge success for them. They are also still in the Coup de France and they are relatively safe from relegation in Ligue 1. The draw in Italy is now one big step to a great success story for them. I expect a strong fight from them.
Winning against all those other teams are understandable, winning against Barcelona is different. I am not saying United will lose or anything like that, they could still end up being the winners, but at the same time I am saying that this will be harder than almost all of those home games, because they are facing a team that by all accounts should have been in UCL and not europa, they are a very good team. United of course got better as well and they are very good but that doesn't change the fact that both teams will face very tough opponents and we have no idea how it will end. I still root for Barcelona obviously, but have to say it's equal powers fighting.

Brazil are almost everytime the favorites and they fail to win, and i will still favor them in 2026 though, they have a decent young generation coming up , and by 2026 we might see two or more talents explode, they are a base of talented players which always give them a decent squad in almost every world cup they play in, they always have great talents in the team.
Brazil is one of those teams who are blessed to have an uninterrupted flow of younger talent, as far as football is concerned. During the 90s, they had Ronaldo, Leonardo and Cafu. A decade later it was the turn of Willian, Hulk and Fred. And now they have Neymar, Gabriel Jesus and Richarlison. By the time of the 2026 World Cup, it will be a different set of players. And one more thing that I have noticed is that while the players may come and go, there have been no complaints about their team bonding (unlike the case with some of the European teams). I think it's about the culture, they never had a period where football wasn't the most important thing there, since Pele started, they had a great time and had winning teams or good teams, they may have not won in a while now but they have always been a candidate to win every single cup. Next time, they will once again be like that, they will have players coming up being good at young side, and players like Neymar who will become mentor level age by that point being veterans of the club. All these players will keep coming up because their entire nation loves football and plays it everywhere they can, from kids age 6 to elderly age 60, they all play.

This is kind of marketing to mention it as the world's first hotel to accept bitcoin and provide services. Already we've got good number of hotels and food chains that accept bitcoin into their businesses. Maybe this hotel falls under certain star category and on that list it is the first to accept bitcoin. A good move from the hotel management. Also I believe this hotel chain have got its hotels located in different countries. They should extend the service on its every property.
The fact is that expedia has been accepting bitcoin payments for many many years now, maybe it is not a hotel directly, but that means you could pay for many things using that. I have booked maybe close to half a dozen hotels so far, and all paid in bitcoin so far as well, been a great experience for myself. I have been using that for my vacations for maybe 5-6 years by now and I can say that it has never let me down. There is a bit of an issue when it comes to reversing it, obviously when you cancel, then you need to wait for them to pay it back, and it's definitely a difficult one if you used an exchange to send, had a trouble there, but it has been available for over half a decade at least.
