Catalyst yes. Halving will still be dependable for at least the next two milestones, but are we really still banking on crazy bull runs? The last one was (relative to the previous ones) pretty underwhelming and if we expect the ATH-to-ATH percentage to continue in its trend, then we're not even going to see 200% growth from last ATH. That's... as crazy as I'm expecting.

It's all Bitcoin, been that for at least just the year running up to ATH. Did some spring cleaning after 2017 ATH and was left with a handful of alts, ETH and even Doge and whatever else I wasted my life and time on. Liquidated everything I didn't want to keep or simply chucked out wallets (to my chagrin at least one proved to be of value later).

Fast forward to personal emergency circa 2020/21 and I had to really let go of a lot. That's when everything not Bitcoin went first.

Still have very little of multiple coins in my Ethereum wallet of course, but it's just for transactions and what not because most services I use tend to throw me a mix of this and that.

Last season I spent some money on Segunda, never really tried Serie B, this season I haven't even found the time to really look at the main leagues -- definitely less Serie A awareness than last season or even 2 seasons ago. After promoted teams performance this season, might be interesting to keep an eye on the potential promotion teams too.


Napoli? Without Osimhen, they're still able to win. With him, they're lethal af. Normally agree you shouldn't be using those small odds but I do that a lot with Liverpool to "boost" my accas so I get what you mean. Arsenal, Napoli, currently on hot streaks but I think their rides will be bumpy. Some teams aren't used to holding on to a lead. Both these teams I feel are those.

^ Oh man... thank you. Can't believe I actually forgot about checking Coingate till I came across this thread, I actually really hate paying for Discord but got a couple of requests before to buy upgrades on behalf of clients and hated that I couldn't easily buy it.

Only slight problem is their classic price has a high markup (3 vs 5.23 euros!) so you might want to shop around for Classic. Regular Nitro's great though -- just slightly marked up by about 1.5%.

Actually woke up a bit early to see what I could catch and already see the heat in AO (I'm reading 30 degrees and wondering, wait, that's not that hot haha but I don't know Aussie heat!) has some havoc. Thiem bit the dust, while in women's local girl wildcard has knocked out Kanepi.

Murray and Berrettini were just fighting it out for breaker on 4th set now, was hoping the Brit would take this but this is now going all the way.

Atalanta gave us a whiff of their high-scoring season didn't they? And put down Salernitana quite badly to remind them of their place. No one in the pool got a point from Spezia, and only PL Guru smiled with Milan meltdown (but paid heavily with other upsets).

Old Lady comeback put on hold (and we still haven't heard developments from the December investigations) so I guess we can expect a lot of topsy-turvy moments for them this season. Silly me for backing them to win (though I did bet on Napoli).

Shame on you slaman, haha. I did a small ML on Barca, because they always seem extra motivated against Real under Xavi so I booked quite a tidy sum at almost 23/10. Absolutely no complaints from me, and from the match reports, seems like Real were just horrible. Of course, I expect them to improve by the time they come see us at Anfield... currently they are ranked favourites in that game a month away and that suits me.

In other pool news, Saint-loup has extended his lead...

An annual (summary) update for NEXO, and to keep abreast of events.

I decided to end my NEXO adventure this week, based partially on recent events, but also as I tire of their Proof of Assets and other verification requirements they ask for annually, and well, I just want to pull back all of my assets, no matter how small. Was an interesting ride for my stablecoins and NEXO, interest earned over lifetime was not bad. Converted everything to BTC and have the coins on my wallet now.

2022/23 summary:

• Interest surprisingly did not change at all the whole year, despite the market falling badly. Their 2022 adjustments were well read.
• They ran into trouble in the US despite buying a controlling stake in a bank there. By September, at least 8 US state regulators had sued NEXO and by December, they pulled out of US.
• Last week, their HQs in Sofia were raided by Bulgarian police. LinkedIn messages from staff say everything is ok but of course they would. Mini bank run also happened right after that, but they appear to have weathered the storm (so far). The charges are worrying though, so I'd say time to unburden some risk if you're using NEXO.

I guess I won't be updating this thread next year. Let's see =)

Hello Cro2! Guess I'll have some idle fun for the weekend, and get my lifetime slots experience up a little

I can't remember the original argument I'd ever heard but it went along the lines of "what's to stake if there really isn't anything to stake?" and that hit home for me. When you behave badly on Bitcoin, or you want to continue mining on a fork (accidental or deliberate) you risk everything from a financial perspective. It simply costs too much to mine on a fork, you'll always want to mine on the winning chain.

PoS? You can mine on 100 forks, it costs you nothing. Nothing is at stake.

At least credit the original source of story (CT)

Always good to hear about Bitcoin entering curriculum, doesn't matter the school or type of education. This one does appear to actually be an entire module on programming Bitcoin though (building library from scratch) so I see it as a breath of fresh air -- not that I don't think any of the other Bitcoin education focusing on financial aspects are bad. Be nice to get a steady stream of new nodes from grads like these.

Nadal looked very comfortable indeed, but yeah, I think I remember reading Trofo saying about Nick's chances and I don't think we're alone in thinking he could go far, but knee injury means he's out. Big shame really, crowd favourite and he brings a lot to the entertainment factor.

Two epics going on now. Fucsovics looks like he'll make it but Wawrinka seems set to be another bad AO outing.

Standout indeed.

Same boat then. At this rate, all Blades and Clarets need to do is just win 6 more games and they'll probably guarantee promotion for the both of themselves -- Watford and everyone else below them has a rate of fewer than 1.5 points per game, at that rate, the top 2 positions will be decided with more than 10 games left.

Yeah, I did that whenever I travelled/worked in countries with hyperinflation long term (and I actually kinda did a few heh). It's not like I even really need the service a lot but it's nice to support local economies especially when you're embedded there for a while, kinda builds trust too.

Great news on new clientele. Keep this thread updated (how many payments would be nice) to show people it's worth the trouble.

Not gonna lie. Not envious but doubly mad at myself. I had the very same picks in an acca, except for Citeh instead of United. Ordinarily I'd be extra extra mad at myself as United's leveler shouldn't have stood but my other pick in there was actually Liverpool and I can't complain for being dumb there.


Only caught final 15 minutes or so of Toons. Saw Almiron get subbed off and I thought it was for sure going to end scoreless and then well, that guy haha. Need to try find that highlight reel tomorrow as missed plenty of drama. How do you accidentally score and get overruled though? edit: now I understand, touched ball twice.

@Hhampuz coming in with a belated well done but you know, you deserve it when you put something up like that on THOSE kinds of odds!

Not to be a wildcat but the only way I could have improved that was to top it off with an Arsenal win (guess the guys at Sportsbet must also be celebrating every Gunners win now).

So we've got a 1000/a winner and a massive Bitcoin punter here at Sportsbet. Smashing!

Always the richest, most important ones first, like any other insolvency claim, before democratising the losses among the retail majority.

You want to make the big wallets whole first so they can reinvest in you when you put out other ventures (be on the lookout for FTX-shadowed projects launching this year and next).

Yeah, these (I call them, perhaps erroneously, fundamentals) are what always makes my juices flow much more than any market updates (FTX asset recovery for example) which I always feel have only temporary impact.

What completely missed my radar was the absence of buy signals from hash rate recovery, which says a lot about using this indicator.

If so, though, are we then pulling back when the indicator suggests a reversal?

Well, seeing as the winner of the prize in season past actually picked Brentford unknown (at the time, anyway), and that Brighton were actually only very very slight underdogs, you never know. My offer still stands for whomever had the balls or the lunacy (they're the same thing aren't they?).


I'd say a lot? I liked when it happened, even though he's a City guy, I generally feel pretty good about great players taking managerial roles (supported Rooney the whole time he battled with Derby, even Lamps and Arteta now for rival teams).

But most of them need to cut their teeth for a long time before managing a big team (I say big in the sense Leicester City's actually won the Premiership).

That's the whole point... you don't even get your stake back as winnings IF he wins the final. Why not go for him now at handicap or live bet after going a set or two down. Martingale that way if you want, you'll end up with more money if you do that every round till the final.

One slip and you lose everything, just not worth it (to me).


Yeah, I didn't get the seeding either, but have to say I'm not really following tennis. It all happened after Alcarez dropped out and Nadal was piping hot on bookies.

3.2 for an upset isn't that great =p
