At least credit the original source of story (CT)Wink

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.

Sinner really started the AO fantastically - Edmund is a decent player and he managed to get only 6 games.
Based on the result alone, Nadal looked comfortable as well.

The biggest disappointment so far is (again) Borna Čorić, losing in straight sets against Jiri Lehečka.

Kyrgios withdrew from the tournament due to injury - which is a shame. I had him as one of the favorites.

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.

I lost my bet thanks to Blackburn embarrassing 4:0 defeat against Rotherham Sad
On same ticket I had Burnley to win against Coventry, so I had 50% success with my predictions for today matches.
I wish that I played on Sheffield instead but I can't see the future yet, but Sheffield and Burnley really stands out in form currently.

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.

Hey satoprincess. I can't believe it's been a year since I remember you and the Christmas food drive (did you do one last Christmas?). And now for your beauty salon. How I wish there would have been Bitcoin in South Sudan when I was last there... paying with SSP was terrible as it kept getting more and more expensive by the day to pay for something, I think I remember giving a huge wad of cash for a haircut!

Here's an idea: prepaid bookings only possible with Bitcoin Wink Buy 20 treatments for the price of 15, at a locked in price. That's really handy for a place with high inflation (and doesn't hurt you since you get BTC).
Yes it’s been a year, time flies. We didn’t do one last Christmas, we are planning something different that’s specific to helping school children with their education. Fantastic idea I love it. It’s always rush hour, my clients like noon appointments and we always seem to have our hands full literally. I really love the prepaid bookings idea. One of my clients came to the shop with  her girlfriend who is a p2p trader today. To cut the long story short, I have a new client who is willing to pay in bitcoins and has promised to introduce her circle as well.

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.

Are you seeing the weekend of Hammpuz? its like the summon of skill + luck, 100k win bet and..... no incorrect result in the pool. A little be jeaolus of that 100k not gonna lie Tongue . I send to you my wallet adress via PM XD . Congrats man and enjoy it.

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.

Did you guys see a "missed" penalty from Mitrović? I have put missed in quotation marks since he actually scored it and it was overruled. You don't see that every day but he slipped and managed to hit himself in his other foot and still scored  Grin Newcastle won today but they weren't that good and Fulham could have taken a point or even all three today.

Arsenal was great in first half but Spurs started the second much better. We could see some more goals here, Tottenham is famous for late come backs this season. I am writing this in min 75. and it is still 2:0 for Arsenal, need at least one goal for Spurs for my both to score to pass.

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!

Whether the customers will get their funds back is another question however. So far the guy handling the bankruptcy is working pretty hard at finding all the missing money. However could be years before the creditors get it back.

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).
2688  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Hash Ribbon Buy Alert on: January 15, 2023, 04:10:27 PM
Just noticed this today as well. Unsurprising given price is now back above estimated mining costs as hash rate consolidates at it's highs. It's a good sign nonetheless.

Also forgot that last year the hash rate recovery never signalled a buy, as price never closed above the recovery price of $21.5K. This time there is clearly positive price action to back up such network growth.

End of the week arrives today, so looks like this will be confirmed. Just another piece of the puzzle for a trend reversal by looks of it. Same signal currently flashing on Monthly time-frame as well I see.

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?

If anyone actually picked Solly March against Liverpool in this week's MajSev, kindly screenshot here and I'll tip you some BTC to your FJ account. First response only, Full Member pls.

 Grin Grin I believe no one from this forum picked Solly March, most people should have picked Salah or other Liverpool's strikers. Even if some people predicted that Brighton will win, I believe these people would not pick Solly March.

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?).

What are the chances that Vincent might find it hard too in the Premier League a few months down the road  Grin
If he makes that switch from Burnley to Leicester. It might be harder than if ended up in the Premier League with Burney, since he now probably has some chemistry with his current squad.

Leicester didn't spend that much in the transfer period, so they were bound to be f##ked especially with Rodgers as the main man

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).
2690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: January 15, 2023, 02:36:52 PM
Guys, he is 1.77 to win outright - are they not good odds before the tournament even
kicks off?

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).

It's a first round draw, Nadal v Draper - Nadal is a bit of an unknown going into this, he is seeded
#1. The odds ATM aren't overwhelmingly with Nadal

1.35 v 3.2 - anyone else see a possible upset?

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
2691  Economy / Speculation / Re: Starting to Think The Bottom May Be Close? on: January 15, 2023, 01:51:38 PM
Meanwhile or not it depends on how strong the FUD itself is, as in the case of FTX which gave rise to a lot of FUD about trust in a centralized exchange and this has been FUD for quite a while although it will gradually disappear. Those who expect low prices will certainly be happy when FUD comes, but continuous FUD will also affect the psychology of traders to continue to hold or sell immediately because the market is not good. Panic ensues when FUD affects those who want prices to continue rising.

Why do we need to worry about the FUD though? That's just one of the constants of a speculation market, along with hype, just in various degrees of domination over each other.

We do seem to be a happy lot when the buzz and moon hype come along, we should be able to accept the FUD that must naturally accompany -- after all, if we're all buyers/holders, who's selling to us?

I don't know how you missed the Nunez injury update, but he will be out until the Chelsea game. Well, our expensive Halaand was a total shadow of himself, and I wish I had gone with Rashford as my captain, as he appears to be the only guy who is always going to score nowadays.

I didn't see the Liverpool game, but I predicted Brighton would win or give Liverpool a tough time somewhere on this thread. I really don't understand Liverpool's excuse; they have 85% of their first team players, a proven coach, and yet they perform like shit. This season, Brighton is the most organized team in the league.


how are your teams holding up?

Yeah, it's something called real life. Mouths to feed, literally heh. My quality of football enjoyment has been decent, not complaining, and I probably would end up just sinking hours of my life into nothing if I had the time, leading to duller senses at work. Can't complain, but should have at least subbed him out, even wasted captaincy haha.

Rashford was certainly the way to go, just wish I listened to the voice at the back of my head. Liverpool? I'm trying to forget...
2693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: January 14, 2023, 09:35:34 PM
~snip

Djoko outright? Hasn't been good value for a long time. You get higher odds betting on his first game with handicap...

agree, expected it a bit higher, below @2 does not make it valuable, better to hold when he loses first set, or eventually two in one match, and than put bet on him (if that even happens, since he is playing from the start lately, not giving first set easily, as on last season Wimbledon)

Nadal is a mystery, but I don't think he is able to compete at high level, but that does not make it easier for Djokovic, it is an other part of the draw, and Medvedev is there as well

Yeah, Djokovic is a revelation for live betting. I might be wrong but I remember plenty of times him giving up first set and then it's a money doubler opportunity that hits.

Medvedev. I might be unfair but I have slotted him in with Tsitsipas now. As in, my money's not going on them anymore.

I'm that upset about it I feel like I need to pay up some kind of football indulgence to wipe the Reds' slate clean. It needs to be exorcised, worst performance in a long time.
2695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: EFL English Championship League 2022/2023 on: January 14, 2023, 07:46:27 PM
^ Can't catch a break anywhere in England. I knew City were wobbling and I still put them on my tickets (2!) and then Liverpool who looked a value bet died (sorry off topic but I parlay all my English teams in first 2 divisions).

Then I was like you, Rovers was a sure thing for me. Blades won, as did Canaries, easily actually, and they had equal bookie ratings to Rovers. Need to go back to single MLs on teams again until my acca performance picks up.
2696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🦊 Betnomi.com | FPL Football Pool ⚽ Discussion Thread on: January 14, 2023, 06:37:34 PM
I definitely am toying with the idea of Rashford and maybe even Fernandes... City look brittle now.
Rashford is a must have at this point, playing in a great form, either on wing or as a striker and United has a double. If somebody scores against City you can just see him finishing a counter attack move. I am even contemplating giving captain band to Rashford this week as my way to try and catch up. City looked quite in last few games and Pep seems a bit too focused on rotating his players.

Fernandes is a bit too expensive for my taste, so many great midfielders and most of them a couple of millions cheaper then him.

Well, if I had gone either of them I'd be up. Instead, not only did my expensive Haaland not score, my not so expensive Nunez didn't even feature, not that Gakpo was any better.

Bad betting week and bad fantasy decisions.

And yes, Brighton were made to look world class by Liverpool. I don't know what to say or do with this team now really.
2697  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀-Sportsbet.io-🚀 - Main sponsor of Southampton FC 👋👋 on: January 14, 2023, 03:46:25 PM
I believe the biggest odds was around 4.85 or thereabout, I really can't remember.

It was just 6 games boosted, but with almost every player from each team as a betbulder options, I've tried this a lot of time and I fall short sometimes by 6-13 players, I'm sure those familiar with NBA players props would understand better.

"Just 6 games", but you failed to mention these were also Betbuilder, so you practically made an acca out of individual game accas haha. That's quite a feat!

Not an NBA guy at all so don't know what you mean. I actually noticed during World Cup also that Betbuilder had individual player stats and I came so close also on so many (always made about 5 selections per match and missed usually just 1 by a whisker). I'm going to have to try this more often with football =)

Now I even know you can do BB accas, damn! Well done again man. Legend.

2698  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin hits 20,000$ again, what is the reason? on: January 14, 2023, 02:08:00 PM
Unstoppable yes. But you are talking about price, aren't you? That is definitely stoppable haha.

Definitely nice to see us above 2017 ATH and yes, I still think US inflation sentiment has a lot to do with that but not holding my breath just yet.

So much to wait for. World Bank insists we are heading for worse and I won't mind being asked to wait a bit more for a true rally. Still, nice to have some relief so early in the year.
2699  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: huge difference in the price of BTCST on different exchanges on: January 14, 2023, 01:41:48 PM
Just to alert OP. It's a common exchange scam, you find it all over socials, Discord, Telegram. People coming in and telling you about the huge difference in spread on either a fake/crap coin like you posted, or a fake exchange (you deposit your coins there expecting to sell it at huge profit margin but it's just a giant sinkhole).

For the former, look up the chain. For the latter, look up the exchange and/or deposit exchange.
2700  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: January 14, 2023, 12:41:00 PM
^ Derby day and yeah, I like United a lot now, but 4/1 is not good enough for me to think they can do an upset at home, even though the back of my mind says it smells like a value bet.

Instead, I'm taking Citeh too. Not ML though, they are leg 3/5 on my acca that went well (thanks Villa and Napoli).

Looking for a stream now. Good luck!

I've got Nunez on a lot for Brighton. He'll make good.
From what I've seen of Nunez, and that's not a lot this year. I actually quite like him, and reminds me of the earlier versions of Suarez, and Mane. Both were good players, worked hard for the team, but in the early seasons they couldn't hit a barn door from five meters away. I think he's just struggling to find that composure, but considering how young he is, and the fact the team itself isn't performing, he may be under a little more pressure than he will be once we've sorted out our problems.

I do like him, and won't be surprised when he does start scoring, and often.

Yes! Suarez and Mane indeed, I mentioned the former and it's easy to forget but these were all guys who didn't immediately settle. I can even remember Firmino taking a while to convince people (after all, he was a nobody from a small club). But they all display something really similar: hunger. I know it's Klopp's DNA anyway to get people who just want to play and are ravenous for pitch time (every new guy coming in has been just that mould).

And spot on, they were doing even worse from close range, and Nunez is younger, and under pressure to bang in the goals because the other team parts aren't doing well.

I'm backing him this game, but as long as we win.
