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!


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 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.

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?

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.

Game 1:  21, 22'
Game 2:  21, 22'

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.

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.


Seems pretty clear OP's interested in evasion, not avoidance. Bitcoin then is really not the currency you want to use for this.

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).

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".

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.

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

^ Yeah, Sevilla the royal bed crappers, don't even want to think how much they cost me but come on, we've learnt our lessons about them already haven't we? I remember in one of the WC threads people were asking why Bono isn't considered for best goalie and as great as he did for Morocco... you cannot play 5/6 games and then say you're awesome. Sevilla's position says all there is (and no I haven't forgot this is a keeper who also scored and assisted back when we didn't learn their bedcrapping momentum).

Anyway, Rayo up a goal.

Yeah, I don't really see stats as helpful in Championship but Critchley does have an effect early on and there's incentive to finish well for the year, agree great odds. I'm going all 1x2 here for best value (on my strat heh).

Blades yes, but sticking with my PNE (though a handicap there's also cool).

I can't believe I didn't know you were from the other side of the pond (EPL point of view anyway!), for some reason always thought you were in one of them other "Big 5" countries.

I liked Leeds for goals a lot of times and they let me down, this was when Big Bielsa was still there.

54th in the pool so went for a 3-2 upset. Ha ha


It's nice to watch some times, but not when they're running themselves into the ground for cards, tackles and injuries. Then you get after 19 games a team bursting at capacity and not even running as fast as they used to in early season. Didn't watch this one, but seems like I missed quite an episde.

Yeah, sorry, that was completely my fault for keeping things to the last minute, thinking I could do my transfers before the early game. Failed, and I'll have to make up for it after tonight's game.

I'm also away for next 10 days or so, will see if I can easily do things from mobile, but I've every confidence in random luck.

Gakpo caught me by complete surprise, but he might actually fit in well, agree. Nunez. Well. I can see he's struggling to adapt to pressing and defending, so his turnover suffers.

Yup. Failed one acca thanks to Norwich, but I picked Burnley on the head, so far so good for my acca picks from EFL, just over 50% accuracy, and I've always picked them above 2/1 so it's working out well so far -- unfortunately, didn't have the same fortune from regular games.

I'd go tomorrow for QPR who want a home win to creep into 6th, Blades and Burnley again. But for single bets? Take PNE away at over 5/1 -- they've been finding ways to score again this team!
