Just at a NYE party, somebody has the Arsenal game on the TV. For the first time this season I’m starting to think that they might just do it. 7 point lead on City tonight if they close this game out, 3-0 Gooners as I type this. Man City just don’t look as good this season, sure they have Haaland but as a unit they just don’t look as good. Arsenal are without doubt the best team in the country atm. They don’t have the best players but they are the best team. It’s a bit like when Leicester won it, they just keep winning.

Long way to go, literally over 20 games remaining but I am starting to think Arsenal are serious, serious contenders. Man City can not afford to fall much further behind because Arsenal are giving them no joy atm.

Yeah, me too. Pretty chuffed for Arteta, and personally, really happy Saka's come through his difficult period and is enjoying his football. That lad's been my "secret envy" for a while now and he's firing Arsenal at the front even without Jesus.

City definitely shored up their leaks with Haaland but it's not enough (sort of remindful of United barely making it past the line with Ronaldo).

As you say too, the fact Gooners doing it not with a star-studded team but with just really good players who finally found their way as a unit.

Their main weakness for a long time to me has been discipline. Keep that at bay and they're in for a good, good season. Now they just need to let us win the return leg of course... but not before beating Newcastle next and Citeh in February. It's a massive gauntlet of games to 22 though... Toons, Spurs, Devils, Toffees, Bees, Citizens. If they even win half of that, it's an achievement.

That was kind of a random number, however, if we expect the next big one or two bullmarkets, these 170 usd could well turn into 5 - 10k.
The main reason I picked a low value like 0.01 - if stored on one address it would be likely to see more addresses with higher balances associated to it. Even thought it might be baseless it could be assumed that this person owns a lot more than what is seen on this one address.
Especially among the thugs there are lots of irrational actors and thus, even though objectively it's a low balance compared to other things that are much more easily accessible, might catch their attention.

So it was a random number then haha, if so, what should be the maximum amount before it becomes "risky" to reveal? And that was my point, 170 could be 5k, 10k (again, arbitrary), 10 could also be 10k or more in some very far future.

Trust me, there are people out there hunting for targets sure, but they're on the lookout for risky behaviour rather than scanning for arbitrary numbers.

It's not the amount, it's how easy a victim you might be, how low hanging a fruit you are.

Amazed I recognise a couple of names there -- FTX notwithstanding.
I'm still waiting for Yobit to appear on a year end list like this, but they somehow miraculously seem to stay afloat.  They've got to be operating out of some Russian jerkoff's basement or something, with no staff but some slob in his underwear.

Yobit probably folded several times (in terms of not having enough liquidity) but they're also a scam exchange running blatant ponzis with their investbox and dice... and their ICO services (pay X amount, get your shitcoin listed immediately as an investbox).

So they'll be around for as long as their owner(s) are happy with whatever they can scrounge =D

Don't ask me how I know so much about them, haha.

^Great odds, and one I took quickly when I saw it Newcastle and City should be a shoo-in, so I consider this a 5/1 bet on Palace (Zaha anyone to take them to 3-0?). Arsenal one, not sure, though, can't really feel super confident about Brighton getting 3 SOTs.

Hope you guys didn't forget to put in picks on the Bet-6-6... Free chance and your last one for the year to get the 100k USDT. I'd settle big time for the second prize on this one!

New Year will be nice if Arsenal win, and then Liverpool get their next one too as I had a really long acca with just those 2 games left.

Barca up and dominating, should be happy but can only relax if we score another maybe!

Heh man, self prophecy is a terrible thing. I see Jordi managed to get himself sent off too. Seems like all I need to do to see red cards is tune in to last 20 minutes of La Liga and see them do their best to get their marching orders. I get red cards, but earning them for complaining and whining and gesturing is something I really don't get.

Anyway. Tough luck...

What makes it even more interesting is that while with fiat you could try and force a redistribution of wealth by just axing account balances, with Bitcoin is nearly impossible, my keys, my coins nothing you can do about it!

Last year, when the hype was building about algorithmic stablecoins and how they were way better than Bitcoin because they actually could expand/contract supply inside people's wallets (!!) to try and maintain value pegs, I found it to be a rare crypto joke that shitcoins thought they could do better than Bitcoin... by making themselves more like fiat!

You'd think the Terra/Luna/UST fiasco put that argument to bed but nope...

Come on Wolves! Submit United!

I really cannot understand why we're such a worse team this season. Defensively it looks like we have never played together before.
Still, the points are here - but luck won't be forever.

It's shades of 2020... when we had can't remember, 15? defensive pairings at CB?

This time we've been experimenting with new pairings higher up too... Elliott's first start with Thiago in the centre, Ox too a very rare start, and then when Keita comes on now it's almost as if we have new players. No excuse for our back four of course, who more or less is fixed now between 6 players.

Gakpo seems pretty hyped and while I agree he could do well, I'm never really convinced about Dutch league players moving up. Happy to be proven wrong.

I absolutly killed the predictions this GW, never had this good results in my career. 7 games played 3 exact scores and 3 close scores and still it isn't even enough for yellow cap. CasperBGD and MoSala with exactly the same predictions in all those games as far as I could see.

Anybody knows what is happening with tomahawk9? He is missing all the predictions across the pools and he was last active on forum almost a month ago. I would appreciate if somebody has his telegram or personal details to check if everything is ok.

I saw that! Some of them pretty late turnouts too, great opening GW for you and superb returns on draw predictions in La Liga (which I almost never make).

Didn't realise toma's inactive, yeah would be nice to check on people. I think this year a couple of people already have left the forum for personal reasons, be nice just to know if we could help do something for anyone.

Yeah, actually kind of not happy to get 4/7, feels like using up all the luck for nothing, much prefer getting 0/7 and then getting it all right.

Salah was actually pretty good, agree w Trofo. Just that Haaland is making us skew our observations. His strike such a shame Nunez still not that good at offside sniffing. And he got some sharp shots in (on target, which you need to be to put ball in net!). Nunez is coming close often but needs to be more precise.

Also got Toney in, and Almiron again, Saka's definitely back in my list for scorers, even though he doesn't look like he's getting himself in much for striking but Arteta seems to have given him license to roam and attempt. Chelsea again went for Havertz, so let's see.
2750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: December 30, 2022, 08:49:45 PM
Wow. Liverpool definitely let off the hook here at half time... 2 own goals by the same guy Faes. First one he could have done way better... second one he turned in a Nunez miss off the post but that was just unlucky. I'm not a manager but is that the guy I sub off at HT to let his recover if I see him broken... or let him play and redeem himself?
2751  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Pure Bitcoin Speculation Dead by 2023? on: December 30, 2022, 06:50:42 PM
Anyhow, price speculation is almost definitely going to exist in the new year, and very likely a long time after that. I mean, there's always price speculation anyway whatever investment you take a look at.

Probably in my foreseeable adult life spent watching Bitcoin anyway, by that time I'm hopefully no longer having as many dependents as I do now so will just want to focus on subsistence heh.

Even after 3 halvings, we'll get enough new coins to affect these market forces, so that's a good 13, 14 years of active speculation based on crude expectation of new supply.

2753  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin December price on: December 30, 2022, 02:50:44 PM
It is very possible that we are going to see bitcoin get beyond $30000 in 2023, it is a year with 12 months which is long enough, bitcoin can never stay at close range price. What people are speculating is that the price is not likely to fall than it is likely to increase, there would be a time $30000 price is going to be seen and might even be above the price.

People are optimistic because the price of bitcoin has fallen significantly already.

A year down in the dumps isn't enough purging to me, but that's just my experience living through a multi-year down cycle. That said, more and more signs that cycles won't behave as they used to, I don't doubt Bitcoin could recover to that price level, before plunging down again running up to halving.

Who else remembers after 2017 ATH that 2018 hinted past 10k and then just slumped.

I never thought the day would come when my UFC browser (yeah I'm the kind of guy who runs about 10 instances of Chrome heh) opens up and all I see is Andrew Tate and Greta Thunberg on my feed.

Didn't even really know he was a UFC fighter (but that tells me it's been around longer than I was aware of).

Trash talking doesn't always pay off, huh?

Edit: So I've been informed my news feeds are at least slightly misguided, more of a former kickboxer.
2755  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin payment laundering in order to avoid taxation on: December 30, 2022, 11:51:31 AM
Pay your tax, it's just your dues. You might even end up getting more benefits in some countries if you're doing business/entrepreneurship and are using new technology. You'd be surprised at how much you can get if you just ask.

if you are not well versed in the methods of legal tax avoidance, either find an accountant or dont take the risk

because if you dont follow the loopholes that allow tax avoidance legally, you are then doing tax evasion which come with stiff penalties far beyond what you can save(if you are discussing amounts under $1k)

Seems pretty clear OP's interested in evasion, not avoidance. Bitcoin then is really not the currency you want to use for this.
2756  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where is your bitcoin balance at the end of the year? on: December 30, 2022, 10:41:21 AM
Anyone with slitghly higher balances than 0.01 should probably restrain themselves from publicly disclosing anything about it.

What stands out to me, looking at these statistics is the fact that 85% of all value stored in Bitcoin is distributed among only 0.5% of addresses / owners.
That's an extreme imbalance of wealth. Nothing new or suprising but I think it's worth pointing out.

Really, anyone who has $170 worth of money shouldn't disclose so? You can tell a person's minimum salary from their country. But yeah I get your point of course, just don't discuss anything of value unless necessary, of course. You don't flash your wealth unless you don't mind being a target. Doesn't apply just to Bitcoin.

It's an imbalance, the distribution, but that's only natural. Worth noting it's the most distributed wealth among crypto of value.

Amazed I recognise a couple of names there -- FTX notwithstanding. Scam exchanges plenty more, I could probably scour my Telegram for dozens if I didn't delete messages heh. You know those kinds, advertising "arbitrage" opportunities (buy at Binance, sell at X exchange).

Nuri/Bitwala is probably one of the biggest in my book. FTX and associated collapses were all related to liquidity, Bitwala was just a casualty of global recession (and that to me says something).
2758  Economy / Gambling / Re: Any Lottery players here? Pick 2, Cash 3, Cash 4, Pick 5 numbers in particular. on: December 29, 2022, 06:54:00 PM
Somewhat agree if the 3/4/5 number system works like it does where I come from (it is based off horse racing results earlier on the same day).

I'm not 100% sure it works exactly the same way, but the numbers drawn are somehow tied to the numbers of the horses that win the day's races. So let's say Horses 2,3 and 7 win top 3 on the main race, then 2,3 and 7 are the pool drawn from for 1st prize.

The window to buy the numbers are closed before the races start but you can already more or less base your picks on horse odds, perhaps in a small window of 5 minutes?

So, not patterns, but "research".
2759  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi among us - for those of you not aware of his (/her) legacy in this forum on: December 29, 2022, 05:53:42 PM
haha @Pmalek indeed. There's no legacy on this forum, merely legacy to be preserved by this forum.

Think one of the first things I wanted to find out when I got in was to see if someone's screen showed the same things mine did because I was convinced I was doing something wrong and mildly panicked. I can't remember where I first saw something like this, but I would have also liked more visual posts of what their screens might have looked like running the first versions of client or old GUIs. It was a pretty dumb thing to want, but hey.

Did you happen to miss today's special @buwaytress ?
Because if you took it you would of got Haaland to score and over 3.5 goals in the Manchester City vs Leeds United @2.40x odds.
Would of made for a very nice prize for your New Year's to celebrate with in the coming days.

Nah, wouldn't have been interested in it anyway. 2x for Haaland to score would be value, and on another day, this could have been a 2-0 win, just didn't like the feel of the first half, playing to not really give full service to Haaland.

Would have taken a Leeds super boost any day, usually to my detriment heh
