I think we have to count them out because without Sadio Mane there's no Senegalese team. Just as we saw with Liverpool this season, the moment Sadio Mane left the club, we could see the weakness in the team get exposed and other teams are punishing them.
Sigh, Senegal could have nicked a goal if they took advantage of indecisive Dutch players last night, but I think you're right, it's less clear to me anyway that the team is still strong missing their star player. Two other games still winnable, for sure, but they need to get right into the face of opponents, I did think Sarr was bright, maybe need to switch him to the middle a bit? Liverpool still do okay (Jota and Diaz are worthy Mane replacements IMO) but maybe the Terangas have to get even braver up front now. |

@KTChampions Netherlands, seriously disappointing for me. No one dared to win most of the match, I thought. Even Gakpo didn't realise he'd scored, and that last one from Klaasen was because Senegal just threw it on. Anyway, phew for me and my ticket lives on. A draw would be pointless for me anyway as I'd hedged on Senegal win. I'm on the mobile now so I cant check the spreadsheet. Is there any other question for today's games except about Sterling?
Team that will score the fastest goal in the 1st round of the World Cup might still be affected by US/Wales. Ecuador's still got the lead with 16' though they would have comfortable been the winning pick for this one had their first goal stood. I can already imagine England supporters signing "It is coming home", I guess it could since they are in luck and some of the strongest team like Hungary did not qualify for this WC  Funny enough, no one picked England to score the most goals in 1st round, I'd take a 6 goal option any day! Guess this whole group doesn't trust Southgate's defensive brain. |

It's the same video posted by @buwaytress a few posts above, and I wouldn't mind watching a few more videos featuring Zowie Pallier either  RealTalk, I’m focus 99% to zowie herself and 1% on her content most of the time when watching her video which is the reason I’m late share here. I just remember that she had a content about Bitcoin after reading this thread and voila they are connected when I double check.  I hope this isn't veering way too far from Boracay but 3 years ago I hooked up this person Kylie with Bitcoin accepting networks in Iran -- also to do pretty much the same (travel, airport, local debit card, with Bitcoin, as Visa and banking are sanctioned for use in Iran). Since you connoiseurs seem to enjoy these kinds of videos. Need to poke her to do another Bitcoin video series now. Bet there are so many others, in different languages. Sadly, no time for this now. |

Ah man thanks cryptofrka for that spreadsheet, like Trofo, I thought a lot of people would be going for Qatar to concede over 2.5 goals, but I guess we already have a tough set of quiz takers, hmm!
Thankfully, did not go with Benzema though I was really in 2 minds about it. Other just seemed safer. Also didn't imagine 6 people wouldn't pick Sterling to start. Not the best guy but Southgate loves him.
I also definitely need to talk smack about teams, as soon as I complained about England 0-0 they scored, and added 2 more before HT. Shaw and Maguire assists, by the way, so I guess I won't see Trent coming in (sobs).

Man, you guys with Ecuador, and then slam with Qatar in his defence HAHAHA (sorry man). I know you have to be weird to win Fantasy but you went too weird, my friend Pickford my sub and I wanted to test that if it worked and it does, as he's automatically gone in now and shows 0 points (live). Kane is my 12th man boost, also showing 0 points so it seems like the live is working for FIFA. Sterling started also, so I got that part right in my Quiz (but I can't imagine anyone else not picking him to do so)... just need Southgate to sub him off and get Trent on late when they're still nil-nil like this as I expect will happen when 2nd half resumes. 25 minutes and not one attempt on target, typical England. Useless trivia: They're playing at the same stadium I was at in 2019 =D |

My order from 9th November would get filled @$12000.
Interesting, I'm seeing quite a lot of 12k estimates for bottom buying. Personally, don't think it's possible without another major item of negative news, but also feel that if we do see 12k from current estimates, then it might just trigger further downsides given just how jittery the entire market even outside of crypto is -- the bounce from there should be just as spectacular though? |

It seems different now because "crypto" has never been farther from Bitcoin at this stage. Sure, we had the 2017 ICO era with thousands of shitcoins spewing out of Ethereum but you now have scores of Ethereum lookalikes, spewing out dozens more of crypto we'll never see or hear about. Exchanges creating money out of thin air, newcomers to crypto never actually knowing how to use crypto, wallets, much less own a single satoshi.
Bitcoin doesn't just survive these things, it thrives. Price reflects that only later on.

It will be a miracle if he does any jail time, let alone spending many years in prison. After all, he didn't sponsor both Democrats and Republicans for no reason.
Even if he does end up serving some kind of jail time, it will be with the maximum comfort, maximum freedom to do things remotely, that money and influence has already bought and paid for. He might even prefer the security it'll afford him from vengeful creditors... so regulators have to work out. did scam bankman fraud legally get given coin (as pseudo-donation) to SBF's retirement home.. or did SBF steal users funds.
Probably quite fair summary of what needs to be legally determined, but there is also the non-philosophical question of whether he carried out all activities with his company's money above board. As CEO, did he actually have full power to use budgets and finances as he did, or were the entire board complicit, etc. He may (will) get away with what he did with customers, or end up paying a trifle for their suffering. It's the big suits and whether he also lost their money is what will be his worry (as pointed out above what Holmes also found out). |

From what I understand. 1/3 of the assets were stolen the rest went to the government.
This is pretty accurate considering the government would dump low illiquid tokens with huge slippage and why would DAI be bought instead of just leaving the assets as is.
There is 200MM left to be dumped so be on alert because if it’s dumped during a weekend we will go below $1000 ETH for sure.
Probably explains why ETH looked a bit sickly today despite Bitcoin more or less trading in the same range. Think people are already hedging on this outcome, regardless of who really is behind that bag. Definitely nice to think a state makes these calculations but the choice to not just sit on it suggests someone knowing what they are doing (or calculating a gamble). |

Right, so just a handful of us went for a host win, what were we thinking about, haha. Valencia should have had a hattrick too. Not the entertainment of Russia's opening game, but many of you guys happy with the win, well done Ecuador! Anyway, just sharing a silly bet here for Gav (from Clubtalk TV) to visit Qatar during the World Cup. Think it's live for the next 24 hours in the Sports Special tab (time shows 10pm 21 Nov my time which is in 27 hours). We can all bet the kitchen sink on it, pool some money to kidnap and send him there anyway and profit |

Hi guys, Good Luck all!! Let's Goooooo!! Steve. Sportsbet.io It's gonna be so much fun Lets goo World Cup I had to put up with my kid wanting to watch the performance because of a certain pretty boy performing, thought it was slightly underwhelming if I say so myself? Think Shakira pulled out and I could barely hear Morgan Freeman but yeah, finally can get going to the business end of things on the pitch. Casper the friendly mascot haha HT on Qatar... why they played 2nd choice keeper, never know, he's a bag of nerves... Anyway, casino boost active. And that's 5 minutes of my halftime rewarded haha |

^ Yeah I'm not even competing for that one, it's just something I know I'm not capable of without actually really committing time -- which is the one thing I have less and less of. It does say about that 10000 points to get a guaranteed prize (the VIP status) but the wording feels vague (and also doesn't account for what if the top leaderboard doesn't have all of them reach this minimum) but all of these are moot points for me. Would be really cool to see you both there in the prize spots at the very least, and there are intangible status awards anyway |

Had no idea Binance was responsible for fee spike the last couple of days (though I've been getting by still with very low fees and waiting and it is a far cry from 100 sat estimates of years past).
Not sure I understand why that causes panic and fear? Won't people be happier if Binance does batch txs for withdrawals from larger inputs? More txs in a batch, less space taken up when the Binance bank run happens if it does?
Don't know enough or can look at data far back enough to say this is deliberate or just periodic or intermittent. Still feel like it's posts like that that do more to spread FUD (since people wouldn't otherwise be aware anyway), which is a shame as they're really quite informative.
As pointed out above, exchanges don't really care about fee overestimation either since the cost is passed on to the consumer (not to mention majority of fees for the past 3 years at least are pure profit).

No Hammie groupies?
every series has an end, and Hamilton series is nearing the end tomorrow Then I'm rooting for you, besides, impossible for me to get 4th spot, I'll just pray for bad luck to everyone in between you and me, for something to happen. Every season has an end and a guy who makes the biggest leap. Let that be me today heh heh. The expected end has come. Vettel will be on the track for the last time (for now). As a great driver, a great athlete and a great person, he will forever remain one of the legends of f1 history. He will probably remain as the most beloved F1 driver in history.
Somehow it doesn't feel like the end of an era for me, so much as a farewell to the type of personality that I feel we see less and less in this particular sport... nice that all drivers have dinner together to see him off (isn't that just typical?) but only because I'm a casual follower? Doesn't look like Hamilton can win here unless something bad happens to the guys in front of him.
Or the guys in front get greedy and make ill-timed gambles. It's the final race. Time for all kinds of reckless behaviours and using up damage budget quotas |

Nice one, OP! As hugeblack wrote, though, motivation is what really ensures that the people you're targeting (in this case, his potential or existing customers) are converted to try using BTC at least once.
How do you convince them? When they understand why you do it -- some reasons or motivations given (opportunity to send money to places inaccessible by traditional payments, inflation hedge etc.).
But even more powerful for me is to demonstrate the positive change (before and after).
Example (from perspective of the shop owner): before, I couldn't accept Mister A as customer because he could not leave his farm. Now, I send him a payment request for BTC and I now have a new customer.

So, I just realised this morning seeing ads on my tv (wanted to see which channels broadcasting) that new bookies in my place of residence are having their first big sports event (they were all created last year, 7 new online companies) and they all have really interesting promos for new customers. Fiat, so only like max bet 1 euro but big payouts like 50/1 on first bet, nothing compared to Sportsbet. Don't forget an hour before kickoff there's a 3-hour window to get a 10% boost on all Bombay Live casino games (5 minutes only) on Sportsbet for those of you wanting to gamble while watching the opening ceremony! And a new bonus every day too, opt-in here: https://sportsbet.io/promotions/2022-world-championship-casino-offerbuwaytress also threaded the line a bit, with sending his outright bet as qualification bet but since his choice was such that it was basically a donation to Sportsbet I have let it slide Not gonna name his choice, but let's just point out he got the odds close to 300. Joking aside this rule is here so that all participants have to use Sportsbet page and I know for a fact that buwaytress has at least a couple of qualifying tickets at any moment. Thanks for confirming I entered the quiz, still not sure why I got the "warning" message about confirming as I don't recall seeing that before submitting on the test form. And about the qualifying bet, sorry man, haha. Promise I'll send very simple bets from now on so you guys have fewer headaches. Right now have 14 active bets on World Cup just on Sportsbet... earliest bet was made 4 months ago. I thought I was being conservative and didn't keep track and then now I realise what an addict I look like... =( |

All done, not gonna tinker!
You really think Trent is gonna play? Southgate only called him cause James got injured, he doesn't like him at all for defense and usually plays with two defensive midfielders as well. Would really like him to take a bit of risk and to try and attack weaker opponents but don't think we will se that. It will again be 5 defenders, 2 def midfielders and hoping Kane score a goal so they can win 1:0. No, I don't actually heh. I put the Fantasy in World Cup fantasy =p None of the predicted lineups I've seen even has him, Trippier's for sure ahead of him but my genius shadow brain says, if he does play, Southgate's gonna slot him in when it's still 0-0 to gamble in 2nd half and, maybe he gets a freekick goal and an assist. In other words, I'm taking a big risk for MD1 (Kane's not even in my team, but my 12th man boost in case he makes a hattrick haha), and relying on some subs to make up for it if I don't get it right. Yeah kane is supposed to get points against Iran but TAA is one person i doubt will start. I feel Southgate trust Trippier more and he his also on setpiece duties. I think both him and Shaw will be Southgate starting fullbacks but we will have to wait to see his team
Eh Trofo I didn't see the list of other participants like the FPL own can you please confirm if I have already join the league, ZAGURU12 is the nick.
Yeah I know I'm gambling here, hoping to be the supreme leader when TAA scores and assists (dream on, right?). |

I'm afraid I might have to pass the Around the World Cup promo. It's not that I don't have the money, it's literally a problem of time management for me... I'm probably already over-extending myself (and it really doesn't help this damned tournament is happening at the most busy period in the year!). GL to those participating though! @buwaytress I too don’t use Twitter so I’ll be passing on this promo, but for those that use Twitter I feel that it’s a really nice promo and I’m definitely hoping some forum member wins it.
I have a Twitter account. This and other promos like this is precisely why I "use" it heh. |

Probably a matter of unfortunate timing for the cycle to come down just as the global economy's also buckling, but enjoy the drama, as you put it. When BTC is stable above 100k you might see yourself looking back with envy.
I'm helping, sometimes people need to wake up and see the truth. Everyone was a chicken in life, including me, now it's time to change your mentality. I was a chicken too (not everything relates to BTC) but now I'm a lion and I'm planning to remain a lion. HODL! Be a LION. This doesn't mean you should never sell! BTC is made for spending after all. Just sell when you gain not when you are losing.I doubt it's possible for people to "wake up" in general. Even for me to change my mind about something I'm pretty set on, not possible except in the wildest of circumstances. Sort of why I don't think awareness is useful (everyone protests and says it's for awareness but I think it's apathy really that's the problem). In any case, good luck with being a lion. And yeah, spend, when you can. Bitcoin's true value is helped on by all of us continuing to use it. |
