@Janusz (lub inni ktorzy szukaja kampanii): 3 nowe miejsca w mojej kampanii (MetaWin):


Polecam zrobic to co ja kiedy ubiegalem sie o miejsce - powiedzialem ze jesten gotow wziac Senior spot i podskoczyc wyzej pozniej, gdy beda dostepne miejsca. Woec dostalem Senior spot a po tygodniu manager podniosl mnie do Legendary.
Prawdopodobnie przy akceptacji beda patrzec na aktywnosc w sekcji gambling. Wiec tu moze byc ciezko, ale probowac nie zaszkodzi.

MetaWin has 3 more spots available, 2 Hero and one Senior spots:

Payment received. Thanks!

Could I be moved up to a Hero spot please, as currently I'm in a Senior one. Nevermind, I just noticed you ranked me up. Thanks for that as well

Nice little article citing British estate agency "Foxtons" that published that London's property market was such a great investment over the last decade that only 2 types of investments yielded higher returns: Bitcoin and Gold. I have my doubts if this is true though. It looks like they discarded any other cryptocurrencies in their analysis and probably limited it to major indices etc (ignoring any individual stocks etc).

One of the comments made me chuckle:
"Good luck cashing in your Bitcoin, pretty sure most banks won't touch the stuff with a long pole."
I'm not sure if this was a joke or are there still people out there thinking this is true.

Which yielded more in the last decade: Bitcoin or a house in London?

Could you post a link to that interview OP? It sounds so stupid that it actually could be quite entertaining to watch. Was the person interviewed even a well-known person within the community, or some spiritual guru wannabe that popped up overnight?

Bitcoin is in the stage of breaking mainstream and the very last thing it needs right now is to create some sort of cult around it. I can't even imagine who would act as those "spiritual leaders" you mentioned, anyone trying to act like one would be instantly ostracised by the community.

It was a very bad performance by United. It's not like they lost due to bad luck, Fulham looked better than them in that game.
It's pretty clear that they're lacking in the attack department, they only have 36 goals scored, while any of the top 3 has around 60, so that's a huge gap. They have the least goals scored in all the top 12 in the table.
Ten Hag will have to start making changes or he'll be on his way out. Fans could have been somewhat satisfied with the 3rd place last season (despite finishing 14 points behind the City), but not even making to the top 5 will be a disaster for the 3rd richest club in the Premier League.

High-calibre ponzi scams would often allow users to withdraw together with "investment" profit in an early stage of a ponzi life. That's how they lure people in and earn their trust. When seeing very attractive yields, even the dumbest of people will get at least a bit skeptical. So they would test it by making a small deposit, wait a bit to see if they earn a promised return and then attempt to withdraw. When ponzi operators allow such person to withdraw, the new "investor" will now be at ease thinking everything is 100% legit and he will not only deposit again, but very likely, deposit much more than initially and possibly even recommend that amazing investment opportunity to his friends and family.
"Good" scammers know the basics of human psychology and know how to capitalise on it.


We used to have quite a few dice sites that allowed anyone to invest in the bankroll, but there was a lot of trust involved and I don't think there are many of them left.

So my gut feeling turned out to be right and Ortega grabbed a win. I feel sorry for Yair, but respect to Brian for that beautiful art triangle choke.
I think Ortega proved to be worthy of another title shot. Looking at his record, and not counting that shoulder injury, he only lost to Volk by decision and to Max Holloway by doctor's stoppage.
This boils down the number of potential opponents for Topuria's next fight to 3, in order of likelihood: Volk (rematch), Holloway (provided he doesn't get destroyed by Gaethje in the UFC300 and Ortega.

And if the Octagon fights were not enough, there were some fan brawl, apparently uninterrupted by security, because... Mexico.

ps. For the main contest (BTC0.2 to 10 people) I believe you need to connect your Twitter account on MetaWin in settings.

I'm 100% rooting for Yair here, as I really like his fighting style and the entertainment value he brings into all his fights, but I have a feeling Ortega could make a surprise here. I think he'll give up on the idea of having a striking match against Yair and will be shooting for takedowns from early on to neutralise Yair's biggest advantage.


I kind of hope he'll get a rematch. He deserves it and there aren't many better options for Topuria.
Alternatively, Volk could be matched up with a winner of Rodriguez/Ortega and, if he wins, then he could get a rematch. And Topuria could fight Holloway next, unless he performs poorly in the UFC 300 against Gaethje.

I'm not following PFL at all but might start if Ngnnou actually returns to MMA.
Ferreira has just beaten Ryan Bader within 30 seconds of the first round, he put him down with the first punch. I haven't seen any of his previous fights but that was impressive.
As for Ngannou, I wonder if there's an actual date set yet, or is his return contingent on the outcome of his fight against Anthony Joshua.
I imagine he will prioritise his boxing career and do MMA only when there's no profitable boxing bout available. Should he defeat AJ, he'll probably be looking to fight a rematch with Fury, but if Fury wins, I'm not sure if Francis will be allowed to fight for all those belts (assuming Fury defeats Usyk) after only having 2 boxing fights in his resume.

The PFL announced (as a BREAKING NEWS) that Francis will return to MMA and will face the winner of Renan Ferriera vs Ryan Bader fight:

PFL's tweet:
https://twitter.com/PFLMMA/status/1760729268596920462

Is it a sign that Ngannou doesn't have high hopes for his boxing career - I don't know. But apparently, his PFL contract doesn't prevent him from competing in boxing. So maybe he intends to compete in both sports simultaneously, or maybe his return to MMA is contingent on the result of his fight against AJ.

Wątpie żeby hype był w połowie tak silny jak na bitcoinie.
Apetyty były bardzo wysokie na btc i wielu spodziewało się wielkiego wystrzału po zatwierdzeniu, ale tak się nie stało. Zamiast tego mieliśmy lekkie spadki, cena się w końcu podniosła, ale jest niewiele wyższa od tej sprzed zatwierdzenia i nie wiem na ile obecne wzrosty na BTC są zasługą ETFów.
Przy ETF na Etherze oczekiwania będą pewnie bardziej stonowane.

Do tego dochodzą szanse na akceptację. Niektórzy eksperci dają 50% szansy na akceptacje do Maja (źródło). O ile SEC praktycznie od zawsze mówił że nie uważa Bitcoina za security, to z etherem sprawa już taka prosta nie jest i mogą robić problemy.

Kampania Betcoin.ag ma jedno wolne miejsce:


Płacą niewiele ($50/tydz) ale minimalna liczb postów to tylko 15, no i jest całkiem stabilna. Obecny wątek był założony w 2020 roku ale pamiętam że mieli kampanie jeszcze kilka lat wcześniej, bo uczestniczyłem w jednej chyba coś około 2014/2015 roku.

That all depends how you define "fun" I guess. Some people would watch horror movies or go to roller-coaster rides, get scared (which is a negative emotion) but still consider it fun.
Placing a wager on a game is a bit similar. It provides way more excitement than watching a game without having any stake in it.
If you value nice, relaxing time over high emotions and excitement, then watch without betting.
I would always advise against betting too much. It's a bad habit and will cause too much stress. You don't have to bet a lot to have a feeling of having a skin in the game.

Yup, Jon Jones was the youngest UFC champion ever, and now it seems impossible for anyone to beat him. That was a mixture of incredible talent, physical abilities and the fact he was ready to fight very often. Looking at his record, he fought 7 times in a span of 4 months in 2008. That surely got him noticed by the UFC. The times were different back then, the competition was not as strong as it is today and I don't even think any current fighter would be allowed to have an official fights every week like he did at the beginning of his career.

The top 5 youngest UFC champs:

#1. Jon Jones, 23 years
#2. José Aldo, 24 years
#3. Josh Barnett, 24 years
#4. Carlos Newton, 24 years
#5. Frank Shamrock, 25 years

Topuria did everything right in his career and he didn't even broke to the top 10. But he has at least 5 years of peak abilities to reign.

Szukajac kampanii dobrze jest utrzymywac jako taka aktywnosc na forum, choc motywacja czesto spada kiedy otrzymujesz za to zachete finansowa przez dlugi czas i nagle tracisz kampanie i przestaja ci placic.
Warto zajrzec na forum przynajmniej kilka razy w tygodniu i sie udzielac w roznych watkach. Szczegolnie kiedy na kazde wolne miejsce przypada nawet po kilkadziesiat aplikantow.
Ale jak to mowia: kto szuka, ten w koncu znajdzie.

I don't know. That's a tough spot to be in. On one hand, if Francis defeats AJ, it'd make sense to make him fight one or two more fights before granting him the title fight.
But what happens if Fury beats Usyk, agrees for a rematch with Francis (for a non title fight) and loses. That would render any belts useless in the eyes of boxing fans. It's probably less risky to acknowledge Ngannou as some sort one-in-a-million boxing prodigy and fast-track him to the title shot than pretend he doesn't exist.

Szanse powodzenia byly znikome ale przynajmniej sprobowales i moze w jakis sposob zwrociles uwage na problem.
Tak jak ktos napisal w tamtym watku - dalej mozemy zglaszac posty lamiace reguly bo jest 5ciu moderatorow globalnych ktorzy sie tym moga zajac.

Co do powrotu Malevolenta, to chyba prawdopodobienstwo jest raczej male, zwazywszy ze zostal oficjalnie usuniety z tej roli przez admina (podczas gdy np jgarzik dalej jest moderatorem na Press mimo bycia nieaktywnym przez 4 lata), i zgaduje ze odszedl z tej pozycji dobrowolnie.

Thanks for clarifying. Personally, I thought that with the absence of the previous mod (malevolent) any reports are not processed.
Out of curiosity, is there any particular person out of those 5 that is responsible for handling reports from the Polish board, or can any of them pick them up? And how do they deal with them exactly? Do they rely on google translate etc?
