I don't like the idea of a tax on profit that you made with gambling or betting. I know of course that the income of taxes is the engine that keeps countries running and enables investments into the infrastructure and so on. My problem with the gambling tax is, that the money that gamblers use for gambling was already taxed because, at least in most cases, they got that money from their job, which means they already paid wage tax for that. Now they risk this money for gambling because it's their hobby and for the case that they are successful and make some profit with it they have to pay taxes on that profits again. That kind of double taxation just sounds not fair to me.

For me all those meme-tokens that were coming out in the last few weeks and months were very bad for the crypto market as a whole. They took away so much liquidity and Capital away from real projects that it really hurt the market because it was pretty obvious that all the money that went into those meme-coins is not meant as a long term investment but for a chance to make some money by selling the meme-coin again before it starts to dump and let's be honest almost every meme-coin dumped pretty hard after only a short while and most of the meme-coins that come out today don't even get pumped anymore at all. Thank god that hype is slowly dying.

I think france deserved that win as they just had more good chances to score than germany and they even scored two more goals that were pretty close offside and therefore did not count and rightfully so. Of course it is unlucky for germany that the game was decided by an own goal but it is what it is. Germany had more ball possesion but that was mostly in areas that were not really dangerous to france. The game was pretty close overall and it could have also ended in a draw so it was definitely not a cakewalk for france as some people, also here in this forum, said before the match. I hope that germany starts with sane in the next game as havertz played pretty unlucky today.

Meanwhile Federer plays in the tournament in Halle, a tournament which he already won 10 times. In his first match against the belarussian Ilya Ivashka he had a pretty hard time but in the end he won in 2-0 sets with 7:6 (7:4) and 7:5. That was Federers first grass match since the wimbledon final of 2019 so almost two years. In this shape i can't see him reach the final of wimbledon again but i guess this would also be to much to ask as he was out for more than a year and he is already 39 years old. In Halle his hardest opponents for the title will probably be Zverev, Medvedev and rublev. I hope he stays fit.

I would definitely like it if BTC would reach 80k or even 120k this year even though i don't own any BTC myself (or only small fractions of BTC), but a high BTC price also means a high price for cryptos in general. I definitely think this is possible because you know everything is possible. Do i think it is likely to happen? I don't know because no one knows this right now, all we can do is guess to our best knowledge and act accordingly. What i can say is that in my opinion it is just as possible to have another bull market this year as an incoming long bear market as many claim in here. I would definitely prefer a bull market 

If you look at the odds then it is pretty obvious that, at least for the bookmakers, the match is completely open as the odds for a win of france or germany are almost identical. Yes of course Mbappe is extremely dangerous to any defense in the world as he is so extremely fast but i don't think that the old and slow man giroud will be a big problem i guess that france will start with griezmann instead of giroud. If you compare the rest of the players, I don't think the German Team is worse. I mean in the central midfield they can choose from kroos, gündogan, goretzka and kimmich. There is not much more potential for improvement in terms of player quality.
Yes france might be the slight favorite, but it should definitely not be a cakewalk for them.

The sad truth is that the projects that are really hyped and that everybody wants to invest in don't really need a signature bounty anymore because their pre-sales or public sales are already oversubscribed. That's also a reason why it is so hard to find a good altcoin bounty that is really worth the effort. But from time to time there are still good altcoin bounties to take part in. Last year i was part of the radix bounty and i am pretty happy with that decision, the bounty tokens are still locked until november but given the current price of radix that bounty was more lucrative than any BTC paying bounty that is running at the moment for my rank.

Especially in the first half Spain was very dominant and would have definitely deserved to score a goal there. The second half was pretty boring then to be honest except for the last 10 minutes maybe plus overtime where Spain had some great chances again but the swedish goalkeeper managed to save that header from moreno. Overall Swedens defense was doing very well yesterday and the goalkeeper also managed to make some hard and very important saves and on top of that sweden was also pretty lucky to not have received a goal. Sweden had also 2 good chances and even hit the post but in the end Spain was very unlucky yesterday.

Yes it's true that polkadot has unlimited supply but that fact alone does not mean that it is a bad coin to invest into. There are other coins out there that have an unlimited supply that are still doing well like Dogecoin and also Siacoin. I mean if i was a Polkadot holder and if someone would ask me then i would also wanted the supply to be limited and even some regular burns on top so that the coins i own become more valuable automatically. Even though polkadot has an unlimited supply and i would think that most people know about that, it is already very popular and a lot of new projects are based on polkadot and want to apply for a parachain spot. So i think polkadot will do well in the future even with unlimited supply.

So you were completely right with you prediction. I really thought that EG would have a realistic chance to beat them but PSG.LDG was just on another level in terms of group fights and also strategically. In the second match EG was up for the most part of the match but PSG.LDG was smart enough to avoid big group fights and waited for their chance. Then after they have won their first big group fight the momentum shifted heavily and EG had no chance anymore. PSG.LDG is probably the best team in the world right now.
Also i have to say, now that we have seen every team lose against them, that Nigma looked probably best against them even better then EG, so i really hope Nigma qualifies for TI.

The thing with tether and i guess the main reason why people have concerns about it is the fact that we can not be 100% sure anymore that every USD-T that is minted is still backed by a real USD. In 2019 they changed their official wording from "every USD-T is backed 1:1 by real USD" to "we have enough reserves to cover every USD-T that is printed and from that point on people started to raise questions. I for myself am also using more and more USDC now instead of USD-T because USDC is made by coinbase and therefore regularly audited so you can be sure that here every USDC is really backed 1:1 by a real dollar.
If Tether should really implode than i think the effects on the whole crypto market will be huge. Tether is the 3rd biggest coin in terms of market cap and if it will go down i can easily see the total market cap going down by 50% or even 75%. So let's hope that Tether will stay stable.

I think "liquidity date" means the day when they list their token on a DEX (decentralized exchange) which means from this date on the token is freely tradeable. I don't think it's the date when the Team Tokens get unlocked because that's usually wrote down in the vesting schedule and the tokenomics.

To enter a pre-sale you either have to be a VC with a lot of capital so you can make big investments which is needed to get into pre-sales or you are part of pre-sale groups like DuckDao in which you can invest into pre-sales even as a "normal" person.

If the token sale did not happen yet, then it is ok if there are still 95% of the coins in one wallet. In the whitepaper there should be a chapter where the token distribution is described. If they plan to hold more than 20% for themself than that is concerning in my opinion, usual shares for the team are between 10 and 20% and usually that tokens are also locked for at least 6 months but mostly for 1 year, so that the devs can't sell immediately after listing.

There are some projects that were successful even though they did not have a public team but for me personally i probably would not invest into such a project except is is a privacy project than it would make sense. So here you have to decide for yourself if this is a concern for you or not.

Well the overall trend of the last 6 weeks or so was pretty bearish overall. So a 5% increase in price during a day does of course not mean that we are officially in a bull market now again. The thing is though that most bull or bear markets don't really come with a big introduction, they just suddenly happen. Therefore, at least in my opinion, you can not say now that we are going into a long bear market just because the last 6 weeks were bearish but you also can't say, that the bear is over and we are going into a bull market again. As longs as you are a normal user without inside information you can just guess and follow your feeling.

I think that EG has a reasonable chance to beat PSG.LDG in the final if EG is able to beat T1 in the lower bracket final before. Even though i dislike EG because of the story with fly and notail that probably everyone is aware of i have to say that they looked very strong in this tournament so far and they even managed to win games where they picked heroes that are not part of the current meta gameplay. They only lost their first match against Vici Gaming because they exaggerated it a little with their unorthodox drafting in this match and therefore Vici could beat them but except from that match they looked stronger and stronger in each subsequent series.

I kinda got scammed with my very first investment into crypto which was the ICO of Dimcoin back in 2017. Some known crypto expert back then said it is a great project to invest in and even in this forum the project was talked about and the reception of it was very positive. Thank god i only invested 150$ in it because i wanted to try things out how wallets and transactions work and so on. The ico raised 14M $ if i remember correctly and soon after the ICO the CEO stepped down and then quickly everything fall apart. A few members of the dimcoin team founded another company and i assume they took the money with them. So basically a total loss of funds for everyone that invested and did not sell off quickly once the coins were tradeable.

First of all congratulations to your huge profit, if you come from a second or third world country then you never have to work again in your life if you don't go crazy and spend everything. If the amount of money is really that big than it is probably worth the effort to move to another country to get the money to a bank account and then you need to check if you can just transfer it to your bank account in your home country then.
I also want to add, please don't trust anyone who writes you a personal message now in this forum and wants to help you and is asking for details and stuff.. they just want to scam you be safe and never tell anyone your keys or passwords.

No one knows what happens in the future so don't expect to get a concrete answer here from anyone which tells you exactly how the market will develop in the upcoming weeks and months. In my opinion the main problem is that we had a bull market for about half a year until the beginning of may and a lot of projects where overvalued and also overhyped. Then the tweet of elon musk came and his appearance on SNL where he said that dogecoin is just a hustle and because the market was already nervous at that point because the prices were so high this was enough to initiate the phase of declining prices which we see at the moment.

The result was not really surprising to me but i did not expect that italy would be so dominant or that turkey would perform so badly. The first half was pretty boring to watch with only like two good chances for Italy but then early in the second half italy finally managed to score (or turkey scored an own goal) and then turkey had to play a little bit more offensive which lead to goal 2 and 3 of italy.
I think that turkey could have played better but they were afraid of italy's defense and therefore played so defensively themself because they wanted to avoid going 0-1 down at all cost, but that didn't work out for them.

I mean Bitcoin and Ethereum are also "old" coins and of course it's still worth it to buy those. There are also a lot of coins in the top 100 or top 50 region that are around 3 years old or even older like IOTA, Dash, Monero and Waves and i would say that all of these coins are also still safe investments as they are all still actively developing and improving their product.
I guess you thought about old and small projects. This questions is harder to answer and you really need to research the projects before you invest if they are still active if they still have a community or if it is just a dying project that slowly but surely moves down in the market cap ranking since years.

Pretty much the same for me here. I would consider myself as a football fan but i am not that interested in my national team (germany) as i am in my favorite football club (bayern) i don't know why that was always the case for me. Of course i will watch the EURO because i watch most good and big football games even if my team is not part of it, but to be honest if i would have to chose i would always pick another Champions League title for bayern over another WC or EURO trophy for Germany.
