301  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Donald Trump's stance on Bitcoin is changing on: February 27, 2024, 10:57:51 AM
I can understand the skepticsm and I reckon it is correct for the community that we should be skeptical. However, what do you speculate on what might happen after if Trump is elected president? Will he become traitor and join the grandma Elizabeth Warren on her anticrypto campaign or will he do what he has said and he will live with it one way or another?
Politicians are liars and they almost don't keep their promise after they were elected.

Notice that if Donald Trump will be elected as a next President, this will be his last four years as the USA. President. What he is saying can be his words to attract US. citizens and gain support for the next election. He is smart to know that cryptocurrency market is growing and the US. citizens love it so if he shows his stance to against this market, this industry, he will lose a lot of vote.

Elizabeth Warren shown her fear that her position is challenging by John Deaton who is the lawyer helped Ripple won the lawsuit against SEC.

Is there like a free scanner/tool to find such opportunities?
No free lunch and if there is a free tool for it, it does not work effectively for your arbitrage trading. Many other traders will have same interest like you, use that tool like you, the market is limited, chance will not be only for you.

Many people join the free lunch hence no free lunch at all.

Arbitrage trading is for people who can code and have their own trading bots too.

Quote
Also does living in a different time zone affect you spotting or being notified of these opportunities?
It does because each cryptocurrency will have different user base and different market makers.

Rather than looking for chance with arbitrage trading, you can wait calmly and patiently for chances to trade in Spot market.

It’s too early to try to predict what will happen next season, whether anyone will be able to compete with Bayern again is not yet clear. Everything will depend on how Bayer can maintain its team, first of all it depends on Alonso, whether he will remain in the team or go to Liverpool, then it depends on whether the leaders will remain in the team or they will go to other teams in the summer, maybe even Bayern will buy himself several players just to weaken the Bayer... And there is still great intrigue as to who will take Tuchel’s place as coach in Bayern.
It is too early to predict that Leverkusen will win Bundesliga this season. There are many matches for surprise from both Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. Honestly it seems Leverkusen has good advantage and likely will be a champion this season.

About a next season, it's harder to predict because Leverkusen might fail to keep Alonso in their club and maybe they will sell some of their star players too. Bayern Munich will spend more money to buy more players in a next summer to strengthen their squad. These changes possibly will change two clubs' strength a lot and maybe Bayern Munich will return to dominate Bundesliga again.

In current situation, no one can blame Harry Kane because he has done more than expectations with 23 games and 27 goals are surely one of the best investment by the Bayern Munich but still they fail to achieve their target which is surely miserable for the fans and here we have to check few things which create problems for the team with sack of Nagelsmann was big mistake
Harry Kane actually wasted some opportunities but no player can score goal from all chances he has. It's better than any prediction as Kane score 27 goals after 23 games for Bayern Munich. It's stats of a beast, one of best world-class striker, not a normal one.

Problems in Bayern Munich come from many positions, the coach, goalkeeper, defenders and midfielders. Together they make up a squad that looks to be strong but inside they have many issues that only wait for chances and challenges from opponents to show off.
304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: February 27, 2024, 08:39:06 AM
Mathematically, Girona still have the potential to top the table. But practically I would say that Girona won't be able to occupy the top spot of the table again this season.

We know the Real Madrid team. This team is very experienced. And now the team is 6 points ahead of Girona. Real Madrid has more BC schedule in the future. A 2/1 draw is unlikely for this team to lose more than 6 points. Moreover, it is also not guaranteed that Girona will be able to win all of their next 12 matches. So I would say Real Madrid is the unheralded champion of La Liga this year. Madrid are sure to win the title unless there is an accident.
Real Madrid were nearly to lose two points but Luka Modric was sent in the 75th minute and 6 minutes later, he scored a beautiful winning goal for them. That takes away a chance to reduce two points in difference for Girona and it helps Real Madrid to secure their first position, count down one more match day until a day to lift La Liga trophy.

It is possible to reduce the 6-point gap in 12 rounds, but in this case everything will depend on Real, everything is in their hands, if they do not lose points, then no matter how hard Girona tries, they will not be able to do anything. Yesterday was also not a very easy match, they scored at the beginning of the second half, and the match was very tense until the end, until Rayo received a red card, after which the game changed and Savio scored twice.
It only partially depends on Real Madrid as Girona must get a first condition, Real Madrid lose points, 6 points means 2 defeats or 3 draws. Another condition depends on Girona that they must win their matches and with their latest performances, it looks to be a difficult task for Girona too.

Girona already have an amazing season so far and they will have to not only think of a first position, but also must keep their eyes on the temporary second position. They must secure it against challenges from clubs at the third and fourth positions. No guarantee that Girona will succeed to maintain their second position until the season ending. If they can maintain it and finish this season as a runner-up, it is a massive achievement and record in their club history.

Real Madrid secured a stunning win against Sevilla in a breathtaking match. Luka Modrić scored the team's only goal late in the match to secure Real Madrid's victory. Had Luka Modrić not scored at this stage of the game, Real Madrid might have been content with a point. Real Madrid has 65 points to get three points in the last match while Barcelona is second in the points table with 8 points less. Real Madrid gained 3 points in this match which strengthened their number one position in the points table. The points gap created by the second-placed team in the points table with Real Madrid will be very difficult for Barcelona to close at this point of the season.
Real Madrid could win that match in a more easily way but the match belongs to Luka Modric. He was not used too much by Carlo Ancelotti in this season and is not happy but when he is in, he contributes his best for Real Madrid. Not many midfielders can have enough calm to handle that situation and can make such a shot.

This goal shows his value for Real Madrid even just as an alternative player but I believe he will leave Real Madrid after this season and find another club for very last chapter and seasons in his career.

I wasn't really happy with Real Madrid's victory when they won against Sevilla, even though my bet won and I was also willing to let Madrid collect points again to stay at the top of the standings.

However, the goal that was scored was a single goal, which made me think that it was very difficult for Real Madrid to produce goals, Modric was the only goal that Ancelotti should be grateful for as a sign of Real Madrid's victory. Previously I hoped that Real Madrid could collect 2/3 goals. in the match against Sevilla but in fact Madrid was quite difficult.
They created opportunities but lacked of accuracy in their shots but finally they got Luka Modric who is counting down his time in Real Madrid. He scored a magnificent goal for Real Madrid and helped them to have three points. These points mean a lot for Real Madrid to maintain their position in La Liga and in a long run it will help them in Champions League too.

If they continue to have good differences against Girona and below clubs in La Liga, they will be more free to focus on Champions League.
306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 26, 2024, 11:18:31 AM
I believe Inter Milan would definitely take this level into the Champions League, with the second leg approaching speedily, they will knock Atletico Madrid out of the Champions League Competition if they can also play this same way against Atletico Madrid. They're by far the best in Italian Seria A Competition, we don't need express much on it, the goals they score are clear evidence.

I don't know much about these players but what I know is that they are working very well as a team to achieve the bigger picture at the end of the season.
Inter Milan have an amazing season in Serie A and they match by match are going to win Scudetto. They had a final match in Champions League last season and I believe they have enough confidence about their strength too. They will not be fearful when playing against Atletico Madrid in a second leg. They are eagerly to have another final match in Champions League so beating this opponent will help them to go to quarter finals.

To beat Atletico Madrid, it will not be easy for Inter Milan even they will start that match with full of confidence and best squad because their opponent are very experienced with such knock-out matches in Champions League.

308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: February 26, 2024, 02:40:46 AM
If I'm not mistaken, I read Luis Enrique's interview after the match was over and he said that sooner or later this team would not be able to rely completely on Mbapee when he left. With a statement like that, Luis Enrique knew where Mbappe's future was next and because of that, in the 65th minute, Mbappe was pulled out and Goncalo Ramos came in from then on. Of course PSG still can't do anything because Mbappe was withdrawn early and this is like a test for Luis Enrique's players so they can maximize the match with the current squad.
It is good for PSG future with this preparation of Enrique as their position in Ligue 1 is very safe already. 11 points more than Brest is a safe different and PSG don't need to use Mbappe too much in Ligue 1. They must save him for important matches in Champions League and aim at winning a first Champions League with a last season of Mbappe for them.

Quote
As we can see, with that much time, PSG is still having difficulty equalizing the score even though the difference is only one goal. However, fortunately PSG was still able to get a draw with a goal in the final minute of the match. I think this is very good for mental development and the strategy that will be implemented next and even though this draw doesn't bother them in the standings, if they don't try it now then everything will be too late next season and Luis Enrique doesn't want that to happen.
It is a difficult match for PSG but even it is an unwanted draw, they don't actually feel too bad with it. Champions League is like on top of their priorities and winning 1 Champions League will change their club history. They already won many Ligue 1 titles and winning one more Ligue 1 title won't change their club history, won't help them to join Tier 1 clubs in Europe.

Unfortunately, Man City had to meet other strong teams in consecutive matches. If they lose even once, then there is a big possibility of being left behind even more and the distance between the points increases. Moreover, looking at Man City's recent condition, it is sometimes/even often very worrying. So there is small doubt whether Man City will be able to handle all these clubs in a row or not. Moreover, they also have to focus on the UCL match which certainly cannot be put aside. But hopefully this is only small worries that I personally feel.

At least, they have to win first against Man United. And because in the next weeks again, Man City will play against Liverpool, the main competitor in the standings, will be the opponents. And this is definitely very competitive to determine which one is the winner.
Manchester City got three more points and continue to maintain only one point less than Liverpool. In upcoming matches, they will meet stronger teams but will they be fearful because of strong opponents or their opponents will be more fearful because of playing against Manchester City?

It can be both as strong teams know about strength of opponents but at the same time they are confident about their own strength. Premier League will have some exciting weeks ahead and we might see a turning point in Premier League 2023 - 2024 and maybe we will soon will see only two clubs left in the title competition.

Foden scored a winning goal for Manchester City and this season is a continuation for his career growth that is opposite with Jadon Sancho. Moving from Manchester United to Dortmund in a loan transfer, Sancho has still been struggling in Dortmund but some seasons ago, he was considered as one of best young players and came closely to level of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Newbies will find it hard to understand that investing in bitcoin comes best when the market is bearish as everything they have seen and heard point out that the bullish market is the perfect time to enter the market. So they will follow what majority are doing, only to find out that when they start losing, that’s the time they will come to realized that they should have enter the market while it’s still bearish where all coins prices are sell in bargain.
It relates to time, waiting time.

If they don't have too long time for waiting, start their investment when the market confirms its bull run, is a good time for investment kick-off. Because with limited waiting time like 1 year, they can not join a bear market and wait for like 2 or 3 years to take profit. With this style, I really hope they don't use all money to invest and speculate that they will gain profit after one year. Fund for emergency must be reserved in any plan of investment, 1 year or up to 3 years.

If they have good waiting time, they can join in a bear market and hold 2 or 3 up to 4 years, to get better profit.
312  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Surfaced: Email conversation between Satoshi and Adam Back on: February 24, 2024, 02:33:07 AM
He did and was one of the first persons to be contacted by Satoshi. So many things are unfolding and people are piecing the pieces together. This is not the first time I have heard that Satoshi emailed Adam Back. There was an interview I listed to on soundcloud about many years ago when he talked about this.

It is humbling that we have OGs like Adam who knew Satoshi. Personally, I do not think he is Satoshi. Maybe Hal but not him and definitely not Wright.
Adam Back loves Bitcoin and he wants to protect it so he released his very old emails back and forth with Satoshi Nakamoto in court against Craig Wright trial.

Your post has something wrong. Adam Back only had some discussions with Satoshi Nakamoto through email but Adam did not know who is Satoshi Nakamoto. Even Hal Finney likely did not know real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto and about Hal Finney, there is conspiracy theory that Hal is Satoshi.

Jameson Lopp wrote a long blog post to prove Hal Finney is not Satoshi Nakamoto.

313  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin’s, Altcoin’s Private Keys are all Compromised. Second proof. on: February 24, 2024, 02:23:34 AM
I don't think there's a relation to that because if there is, then private keys or wallets are already compromised and being dried by those hackers. Notice that whenever you search for a private key in Google, it will show almost the same pattern because all private keys have the same pattern, so expect that you will always see that webiste, but I don't think there is a relevance to wallets or private keys being compromised. I think before you throw some news or blame, you should also have solid proof about your claims because you might ruin a business name. If you are not trusting private keys, then don't store your assets on them; instead, find more secured wallets that will give you different security aside from private keys. As an IT person, I don't think that this claim is true. If it were true, then all wallets with private keys should have been compromised by now.
If private keys can easily be compromised, all bitcoins have ever been mined by miners, stored by Bitcoin holders will be moved to addresses for the attackers.

So far, 15 years since 2009, nothing like this ever happened and no report of lost/ stolen bitcoins like this. The conspiracy theory is simply stupid and non sense without anything solidly back this theory.

There are 2^256 private keys while there are 10^78 to 10^82 atoms in the universe. Finding a Bitcoin private key by brute-force procedure is impossible.

Sure, Ethereum is more decentralized, Vitalik owns 285 Million ETH (Satoshi is dead or doesn't exist anymore, so the fact that Bitcoin's founder owns million Bitcoin doesn't  doesn't apply to Bitcoin). Ethereum devs proposed validator limit increase From 32 To 2048 ETH, sure, a way for more decentralization, right?
It is two things to show Ethereum is not more decentralized than Bitcoin.

It was premined. The founder has great percent of ETH in total supply.
Its has very little validators and can not compare to Bitcoin nodes.

Lastly its blockchain was rolled back.

Manchester City can win the Premier League title with or without Keven De Bruyne. Liverpool, on the other hand, has excellent attackers who can produce; they can play effectively and score goals even without Salah. As a result, they may win the league. However, since Arsenal defeated both Manchester City and Liverpool this season, I will also include them in the title race. They have an impressive squad that can win the league.
Kevin contributed a lot for Manchester City and their five Premier League titles in last six seasons. Manchester City have a strong squad and very abundant good players as substitutions and it's logic to think they can win Premier League this season without Kevin. The fact is they were not too far from Liverpool and Arsenal without Kevin previous months but it's reasonable to expect Manchester City will become stronger in next months. After returning from his injury and recovery, he has contributed some goals and assists for them and it's signal that Manchester City will have lot of expectation on Kevin.

Savings for investment and savings for emergency funds should be separated, and make sure that if you save for investment, you will only risk an amount that you can afford to lose. But I have to agree that if you want to prioritize bitcoin investment, stop putting your money on unnecessary expenses. Sacrifice your luxury for the mean time. However, if it means compromising your budget for daily needs just to realize bitcoin investment, then I must say that you are doing the wrong thing already.
It's a strong reminder to separate our fund for investment and for emergency.

Please give me a chance to remind another thing. People usually mix up their investment and trading fund that is bad. An example is they use an account on a centralized exchange to store their bitcoin. It's a bad practice because centralized exchange is a risky place to store our bitcoin. Not our keys, not our coins.

It also contains another risk, they will mix practice between investment and trading and most of them will use all bitcoin for trading. They fail to hold part of their fund for investment because it's easily to make an order to take profit, sell than holding part of it.

My reminder is they must separate these funds. Investment fund must be stored in their non custodial wallet. Trading fund can be store on a centralized exchange.

I don't think we can compare ETFs with real Bitcoin in terms of adoption. The demand for them is very limited and is not going to grow over time, specially since it is a local thing not global like bitcoin itself.
Bitcoin Spot ETFs we are talking about are from USA and they only serve US. citizens. There are some other Bitcoin Spot ETFs in other nations but they are for local citizens, not global and not open accessed for everyone.

Even in the USA. there are some conditions to buy shares of those Bitcoin Spot ETFs and not all investors can meet those conditions. Customer and investor population of Bitcoin Spot ETFs are very limited, not wide like Bitcoin.

Quote
However, with Bitcoin as the price grows there is increasing amount of media coverage (free advertisement) for it that attracts even more people to Bitcoin. That means the demand increases as the price goes up.
Bitcoin Spot ETFs are very helpful to Bitcoin market in 2023 and 2024 with effects like you said. It's free advertisement for Bitcoin from companies that want to launch their products related to Bitcoin and get profit.

Al-Nassr was ultimately able to win with a score of 2-0. And it's very unique or this is a pretty good coincidence. Because in the last two matches, Otavinho and Cristiano Ronaldo both scored 1 goal each in the last two matches. And this was a fairly easy win for Al-Nassr.

But I didn't see Talisca in action today. I hope he is fine because I really like the player. He contributed a lot to Al-Nassr's attack line and quite often helped Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored for Al Nassr again and he will have two AFC Champions League quarter finals with Al Nassr. He is going to continue chasing for more titles with Al Nassr.

With latest growth of Saudi Professional League, their clubs have been becoming best candidates to win AFC Champions League but they will have to compete with clubs from Japanese League and Korean League. There are two hubs of football in Asia from the Middle East nations and from Japan, Korea recent years. Let's wait that will Saudi Professional League be able to win AFC Champions League this season.

Talisca used to be a main striker for Al Nassr but with Cristiano Ronaldo, he has to sacrifice that position and play more like a forward. I hope Talisca is fine as he is still an important player for Al Nassr.
