Actually, Baltic countries were occupied by USSR for 50 years too in case you missed it. But Putin considering Russia and Ukraine as same nation as he said such things multiple times. They don't like that Baltic countries joined NATO and they don't want to let Ukraine to do such thing. But it's not their deal, Ukraine should decide themselves what they want to do.
Lithuania or Estonia isn't Switzerland to stay neutral, especially when things in Ukraine may directly affect us. It's more likely that biggest NATO countries like France or especially Germany (because of NordStream) would stay neutral.

Only few competition which is longer and don't fit into that 2 weeks of Olympics starts before opening ceremony. It's mainly curling, women ice hockey, or football in summer Olympics. Probably it's not worth to start whole Olympic Games earlier because of few competition.
And I think you're wrong about hockey, football or other team sports semifinals - it usually happens on same day. For example, in 2018 they played both on same day, so, none of teams didn't got extra day rest.

I understand that you sent message from brand new account because of privacy, but it may be reason why you didn't got response. Message related with money from new, empty account - it looks a bit suspicious. If I would receive something similar, I would be sceptical about it. Offcourse, it's possible that she didn't even saw message.

When I read your post, I literally hear that Kimi team radio about drink in my head . You're right, F1 and racing series drivers should be physically fit. It's not only about losing weight. They also experience so much G force during braking, going trough corners or during crash. What if you will put someoneinto the car who isn't read for it and they may be some very bad consequences.

In general yes. There is one common thing among most of forums, not just Bitcointalk - they struggle to attract new members, mainly old members keep forums active. Offcourse, you can"t feel it so much on huge forums like Bitcointalk and also this forum is exception from rule because of sig. campaigns and bounties. But on smallers forums it feels.
For younger people forums is thing from past. I think that they would prefer to learn using other platforms, for example, watching Youtube videos or even TikTok.
These who are looking for information, eventually they will find Bitcointalk. Then it's only question whether they will come here and stay or they will move on to other platform.

Yeah, cheaters always will find ways how to cheat. And it doesn't even matter which sports it is, whether it's weightlifting or chess.
You're right that cheaters will be caught sooner or later. Fair athletes will get their earned medals eventually, but they won't have that memorable moment when you see your country flag raised and anthem played during medal ceremony.

As far as I know, probably there won't be transgender athletes in Winter Olympics. Otherwise I guess news about it would spread widely already.
Personally, I'm sceptical about transgenders in such competition. For example, someone in male body competing against female, it's just not fair.

Reduced publicity? I think you're wrong about it. IMO, forum is popular enough and it have big user database.
Why you and many others don't know about Bitcointalk. Because forum isn't that kind of website which would be actively promoted on ad banners, blogs, Youtube and etc. But if you search for information, reviews or something similar it's likely that you will discover Bitcointalk.
And nowadays forums is a bit outdated thing, especially for younger people. They prefer to interact on social media instead of forums. For some people forums have turned into mIRC kind of thing.

Well, some information on these websites is simply outdated, some things is just wrong. There is nothing surprising about. People from outside can't know things better than these who are regular on Bitcointalk.
I think that by saying "one of largest online forums" they talk not just about Bitcoin forums. It's about all forums from all categories - cars, food, IT and all other stuff. Because probably there is not that many forums online with over 3.4 million registered users.
Offcourse, I may be wrong. It may be just nitpicking.

None. Last April/May I already got two jabs and it's enough for me. Actually, I had opportunity to choose from these 4 vaccines and took Pfizer without thinking much. I just wanted to stay away from Astra Zeneca. Though, even without getting vaccinated, most likely that I would have light covid - I'm young and healthy person. In general, I got vaccinated just get covid passport.
But now, when omicron is spreading, vaccination is more or less pointless. For most people it have mild symptoms and vaccine don't give much protection from getting infected. Omicron is best vaccine now.

I haven't used Exodus wallet for long time, so, I also got a bit confused when I saw this topic. As said above, both .com and .io domains is official ones, but maybe Exodus haven't communicated it clearly enough and people get confused. For example I remember that when Blockchain.info bought .com domain, they had spread news about it widely.

You're right about it. But this topic isn't about whether Exodus is good wallet to use or no. Electrum is good wallet, but it's just for Bitcoin and don't offer multiple coin support.

It was great final with dramatic ending. Interesting that France had timeout to make last attack, but it was complete failure. They left time to Sweden for response and earned 7m penalty on last second.
3rd place game was good too. Denmark simply dominated in overtime.

There were lot of questions about China hockey team in Olympics. And finally, few days ago they announced their roster. All their 25 players this season is playing for Kunlun Red Star in KHL. It's strongest league in Europe, but Red Star is by far worst team in the league. In group with USA, Canada and Germany, even scoring goals will be big deal for them.
Interesting that from 25 players, just 9 are born in China. Others are from Canada, USA and Russia. And this team is called China national team:

We already living in pandemic for 2 years. Life should go on, things can't be stopped for so long. And we're still in pandemic, but some countries already lifting all covid related restrictions and back to normal life.
And I think that you're wrong that most famous athletes will not come to Olympics. Only NHL players won't be able to participate, all other stars will come if they wont catch Covid in upcoming week.

So what are your thoughts before 3rd place game and final?
I think that final between Spain and Sweden have no favorite, it's 50/50 game. Personally I would like to see Spain winning 3rd EURO title in a row. But I really liked Sweden in this tournament, so I won't mind to see them winning.
In 3rd place game Denmark is slightly favoured, but after what they did previously, I want France to win.

Don't agree about Kimi. He wasn't that bad last season as you describe. Offcourse, he was not as good as in his prime, but that's normal thing. He outscored Giovinazzi by quite big margin and haven't finished just in few races. Mazepin, Latifi or Tsunoda is more dangerous for other drivers than Kimi.
Offcourse, we're not talking about Kimi racing in Mercedes. It sounds more like a joke.

I'm curious, did anyone took Spain or Sweden wins? Both semifinals ended with underdog wins.
Indeed, France - Sweden was crazy game. As said, 67 goals in semifinal game is something that you won't see for long. And that Sweden goalkeeper save on last seconds which let them to win.
Spain - Denmark also wasn't bad game. Spain were leading almost whole 2nd half and achieved deserved win. And my under bet got passed.

Being Cheap Afghan worker isn't enough to be hired. How someone can hire you when we have no idea what you can do and what's your skills. If you really need work and money, you should specify what exactly you can do.
And agree with post above, maybe it's not best idea to call yourself with such name as you did. Don't understimate yourself. Your time and skills is valuable thing.

Betting on favorites today has no value at all. So, probably I'll skip this time and going just to watch games. Or maybe I'' go with under in both semifinals. Cost of mistake is huge, so maybe we won't see high scoing games.
Missed 5th place game tip, I see it went to vertime. Trofo, did your bet passed?

I think you have confused something. All players from their national football team is fully professional and playing on good level. I think it's simply impossibe to play at such level being only part-timer.  Either it's football or handball.
Though, probably not all players in EURO handball were fully pro. Lithuania played there and our national league isn't very strong and players aren't getting paid well, so maybe some of them have extra job or some business.

I think you're still good at basketball with so many talented players and strange that Croatia haven't achieved nothing significant for so long. And for me it's amazing how countries like Croatia or Serbia with such little population is so good at so many team sports.

Today there was main game of round between Brugge and Royale Union. It ended 0:0 and obviously it's positive result for Union which let them to keep 9 points lead against Brugge. Despite that we haven't saw any goals today, it wasn't bad game to watch and in the end I think that draw is most fair result for this game.
Next round Union will have Brussels derby against Anderlecht, another team which is still in fight for title.

Looks that you put a lot of work into this review, but what's really point of it. I think that almost here on Bitcointalk knows Freebitco.in and probably there is no reason to present us how this website works. And adding word scam into title is effective clickbait . Just because of it I opened your topic.

Yeah, it's possible to find smething positive in dip . But the main problem, I barely get 500 or 5000 nowadays, don't have luck at all. Actually, I can't even remember when did last time I got 5000 Satoshi, tickets or RP. But still, getting 50 instead of 30 is still something positive, despite that it don't gives much joy.
