Bluffing will get you in trouble when you play at a certain level. It is like chess, there are certain strategies and openings that will most likely  catch the novice unaware and make him loose the game, but if you try that with a master, you will surely loose as he or she will know how to use it to his or her advantage. Poker is no different, try to bluff with the wrong people and you are done.

I can see plenty of prediction across a number of teams and games and it does not seem like there is much justification. I would argue that along with the next prediction, you would need to show the results of the previous ones and perhaps some short of tracking of results, otherwise it will be quite difficult for people to understand if your system is worth paying for.

At best most sites are iffy with the bonuses. The schemes tend to have a big caption promising a 50% bonus and the like, but it is subject to terms and conditions that would require you to transfer periodically or get it little by little or put conditions to the withdrawal. My advice is not to take the bonus as a main concept for your decision of using this or that service, but just their time in service and user comments.

It is not just that they have this tendency to kill anything that bothers them (I hope they do not start killing football players if they do not perform  ) it is more about the status that Europeans have in the Gulf countries, which is basically the same rank as an slave. Quite endogamic societies "pure arab" mentality. It is not even a question of money is a question of principles not to work for them.

I think that the whole Spanish League is suffering from funds shortages. Football has always been quite linked to other economic sectors like construction and entertainment and these sectors are suffering. Also entertainment is becoming more on-line and less TV based, so big money for big players in Spain may not make the cut in the near future.

Question awaiting your answer...



There are so many things that you do not seem to understand. The worst of that is that you will never, because for the man with a hammer in his brain, everything looks like a nail.



I am not particularly worried about being "alone in this thread". I think I have little else to say because it makes sense to discuss things when there is certain listening to the logic and arguments, but I am seeing just a briefing on a certain ideology without any sense of reality.

More than a rumour, this is becoming a Heavy Metal live streaming at 4 a.m. China is building up their military to the point in which they could actually enact their desire of taking effectively over the government of Taiwan. As most of you know, as of now, Taiwan is considered a "rebel territory" by China, "that is part of China". Taiwan is also part of the strategy of the US and its allies in the Northern Pacific (Japan, South Korea). Taiwan is nothing less than a territory in dispute between China and US (not exactly, as the US does not argue that is US territory).

So, nothing to worry about, just another quarrel between the superpower and the possibly next superpower. But there is a little factor that makes Taiwan a very interesting place, and that is called TSMC  AKA Taiwan Semiconductors. This company (along with Samsung) manufacture most of the semiconductors worldwide and they have technologies that are even a decade ahead of competitors.

What do you think could happen if a proxy war for Taiwan takes place in the next years? As a hint, today a few car manufacturing plants have reduced production due to lack of semiconductors. Many other industries are also affected. Imagine that TSMC is unable to continue production or that factories are destroyed in the process. This would mean a global slowdown and a crisis that may dwarf COVID.

BTW, a semiconductor plant is nothing you can improvise. The investment is huge, the technical difficulties extreme and building times quite long.

My advice, if you hear winds of war, buy. You know what.

Certainly, far from everyone being equal, equality and redistribution would be flushed down the toilet. Please, kindly read The Capital in the XXI Century - redistribution and equality do not happen naturally.


Corporations are not people, just a legal construct, but the owners are people - unless the AIs have already taken over and we have not noticed yet. Taxing a corporation means taxing the owners on regards of their benefit because they benefit greatly from states - more than most in fact. They get infrastructures of all shorts, a system that educates people so they can have workers, a legal system that protects their right to intellectual property and defends their interests internationally. It is obvious that you cannot take without giving back.

How about not having the means to defend your country from an invasion? How about not having a legal system that supports your right to individual property? How about having a mass of people that cannot afford basic education? How about not having means to respond to an emergency?

As said many times before, if you do not pay taxes, you will not have anyone to defend your right to property, the borders of your country... So, unless you have a marvellous theory on how can you get from a world divided into states to a world without them, you do need taxes.

RE your idea about returning sooner or later, I encourage you to familiarise yourself with the reason why accounts are closed yearly and taxes are paid every year. As a hint, it is not the same to pay today than to pay in 10 years.

Honestly, I find your arguments far too ideologically biased and with little real foundations.


You need to segregate these types of tax concepts to apply different fiscal policies. Again, you seem to ignore how things actually work and you substitute this in your mind for a kingdom of your own invention.

Un "giveaway" de manual... vamos que tendria curiosidad por saber cuanto ha sido mandado a esa direccion, pero que lo que es por originalidad... cero. Si el hacker es un poco avispado podria hacer que efectivamente con cantidades pequenias se duplicara para q luego el usuario mandara cantidades grandes pensando en timar al systema.

No pasa nada, he pasado por aqui por casualidad y se lo pongo yo. Fijate que a mi eso me ha pasado varias veces y varias justo con tu usuario

Hoy se ha dado la coincidencia de que me has dado los 3 puntos que van del 997 al 1000 merit, asique ya soy "Legendary". Esto produce un enorme vacio en mi vida... no tengo ahora otra etapa que cubrir, asique supongo que tendre que motivarme con llegar a 2000.  

Y ahora para que esto este on-topic, comentar que espero que todo El Salvador se apunte al foro.

A bit of an aggressive language ... capitulate... we could even go further and say concede defeat or even surrender to the obvious

I think that bitcoin should be accepted by the governments as a way of payment, however it does not have the right characteristics to be the only currency of a country because is specifically designed to avoid flexibility in the monetary policies, which means that it does not allow you to play politics.

Nada... todo eso es demasiado trabajo. Ademas no vale la pena comprobar los saldos de las cuentas, al menos segun mi teoria, porque esto es como los diamantes: "muchos si... suficientes nunca" - Kim Basinger (*). Asique por favor, comportense y no den pistas a los novatos sobre como dumpear o como mover sus activos. Ya lo aprenderan cuando sean mayores.

Yo "dumpee", pero estoy muy arrepentido. De verdad que si.

(*) Si no sabes quien es no te preocupes, es bonito ser joven.

Fijate, es incluso anterior a esa cotizacion que hizo Laszlo basada en en una bolsa de commodities. En concreto una bolsa compuesta por harina, tomate, queso y otros ingredientes, hay quien lo llamaria... el standard pizza.

Pues claro... solo 10.000 bitcoins que eran $41 USD no era suficiente para tomarse la molestia de llevarle 2 pizzas.

Nice, but I do not understand how they link the unemployment to inflation, unless they are assuming that less people working means less money circulation or lower speed. Or perhaps they are thinking that too low of unemployment may result in salaries rising, but in that case they are double counting when considering the Labour Cost Index.

Interesting, although limited to US.

A few leaders of OCDE countries are speaking wishfully about inflation, stating that this is just "a temporary peak". However this may or may not be the case. Even the people with best information (CEOs of large companies and perhaps some ministers) are unclear about how long do we have to endure inflation.

My translation for this is "we do not know if we can effectively pass the burden of all the money we printed onto the labour or the salaries will rise paving way for sustained high inflation in two years".

You got it all wrong. A ban in China means nothing since it has been clamping bitcoin trading and even some mining operations and the market already knows that. Regarding Evergrande, bitcoin can only go up as it is a protection against crisis, particularly those created by massive defaults. Bitcoin has simply responded to the crypto exchanges clampdown in South Korea, which is actually a relevant actor.

The Evergrande crisis is perfect and is something the market should actually appreciate positively for crypto.


My interpretation of this data is quite different. Firstly, the fact that there is debt does not mean there is a bubble. A bubble is created when stuff is bought for the only reason of selling it more expensive to someone else. You may argue that there might be a credit risk, but these loans against vehicles are quite different from loans against houses particularly coming from the gov. which would endure even massive defaults or print a bit of cash.

As the fumes from the Pandora Papers are still in the air, the EU has seen fit to withdraw from the Tax Heavens list countries such as Samoa, Fiji, Trinidad y Tobago,... Particularly interesting the case of Anguila, with a corporate tax of 0%.

As a tax paying citizen I am very disappointed with the minimal requisites that the EU is requiring from these countries. A global tax of 15% should be required to be considered for business as an equal. They are just happily feeding the pirates and doing it as there is more hard proof of how are these jurisdictions being used.

Do not get me wrong, if you want to live in a Tax Heaven, you are free to do so. What I do not find ethical is living on a country that provides services and fits your living style and then evade. You want to get taxed in Anguila? Perfect, just go live there and enjoy.

Exactly, that would be the perfect way to NOT being protected from inflation, as you money would be worth less each time. The problem is quite obvious if you understand what inflation is.

There is however one chance to protect by using banks, and that is if the deposits offer a yield higher than the currencies inflation, but that is something I have not seen in any major currency since the 1990s.

While a socialist party led coalition governs Spain at the moment, it has nothing in common with China or other authoritarian regimes - Spain is a democracy that works reasonably well, laws and rules are followed and got realistically free elections, like most western European countries. When you speak of Socialism in Europe you are talking about social democrats not about Marxism, Stalinism or the like.
