Hazard already said goodbye to Chelsea, So It's confirm that he is leaving for Madrid.I think Hazard is the best fit for Madrid as they play attacking football.I heard he has given the No7 Jersey Which is disrespectful in my opinion.I think Hazard deserve No10 than any other Jursey no.Modric should wear different Jursey no.

Breaking news of today is, Neymar is returning to Camp nou.Though I don't believe but if it happens Madrid should be scared of Barcelona then.Madrid should try to bring Mbappe if neymar is going to Barcelona.                         

I hope that Hazard is going to make the right choice.
As far for Neymar, it would be dumb to return to Barca now. He wanted to be the key player but still there is Leo Messi in the team so it won't make any difference from the past.

Step 0 Done.

OFFICIAL CONTE to INTER



He was the plan B for Guardiola to Juve  Wink

Amazing choice from Inter.
I think that Conte will make the team to challenge the title next season and make Inter a favorite again.

It seems like Petro was another way for Maduro's people to get more money and enrich corruption.
They used the blockchain technology wrongly and they disrespect the cryptocurrency industry. The sad thing is that people in Venezuela trusted this system but they ended up losing more money.

During their big NEM token sale they raised about $250,000 altogether if you add up the tokens moved from their main address and multiply it by $60, roughly the price of a barrel of oil at the time.

Of course, they ended up ditching the whole thing in favor of releasing their own super duper X11 Dash hybrid coin, which, by all estimates, probably never even existed and was just numbers on a database or spreadsheet. Only a handful of Venezuelans bought paper certificates representing Petro holdings, but yeah, they all got shafted.

Dash is considered centralized by some members of this forum, but I don't know the details surrounding its change from the Darkcoin era. Now take Dash, change its name into Petro, change it enough so that nobody else can participate (node, wallets, etc), put said nodes in a single data center, do not release wallets but force everyone to use the single online wallet in a single server (hosted in the same data center), pre-mine an abitrary number of coins, peg said coins to some other arbitrary value in the world's worst coin; back it all in promises and you get a close picture of what Petro is.

Naida_BR is not too far of, it all appears to be a State backed ICO scam operation. Good luck suing Maduro...

Your description war very accurate and made things crystal clear.
I believe that we are going to see what it is going to happen to Petro only in the case that Maduro will not be in charge anymore.

The history of mankind should learn people smth. But, it is not. Many diseases dissapeared just because of vaccines. But some people forgot about that. They think that it has nothing to do with them. The fear of vaccination is stronger than the fear of death. I'm afraid that many deadly diseases can return someday.

There are so many cases of patients with measles in my country, but it still not encourage most people to vaccinate their children. They think it's a light child disease. And never speak about complications, that they children may have after measles.

How is the situation with vaccination in your country? Why do you think many people against vaccination?

Vaccination is something that helps humanity be protected.
However, it should be kept a balance because it can do a lot of harm if vaccines are consumed without any control.
In my country vaccination policies are in a good balance and it is mostly used when there is a pandemia or epidemia.

It is a real case scenario that CIA is behind all these issues, but you cannot prove it.
War is not the solution. The solution is to destroy the CIA.
3886  Economy / Economics / Re: The production of money... is SCAM! on: May 31, 2019, 04:56:12 PM
Just after the financial crisis in 2009, the journalist Scott Pelley asked Ben Bernanke on the 60 minutes CBS TV show where did they get the money for the AIG bailout in march 14, 2009? was these money of the taxpayer people?

He just said:"No. It isn't money from the taxpayers. The banks has it's own accounts with the Federal Reserve as well as you can have one with one commercial bank."

He continued: "In such way, to loan to a bank, one just simply uses the computer to mark up the size of the account they had with the Federal Reserve"

So he just literally admits they create the 85,000,000,000 usd out of nowhere to rescue the private company. This isn't the way capitalism should work and it's more like socialism where everybody takes the loses  Angry

This case was known since 2009.
Always bailouts come from money printing that it is not relied to anything actually. It is just a way to inject more cash in the economy, but this cash is not created from any activity. Also, when more money is created the reserves lose value, leading to an economic collapse after some years.
3887  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin eventually disappear... on: May 31, 2019, 03:54:15 PM
Well you posted this in the "Economics" section, so let's make this about economics.

People have an amount of BTC.  The higher the value of their BTC, the more likely they are to keep it in safe locations or spread it between different places.  So the chance of them losing their BTC decreases exponentially as the price rises.

If they lose BTC, the supply decreases, therefore making the remaining BTC supply (marginally) more valuable and making people less likely to lose it.  So it never reaches a point at which there's not enough left.

So basically, no.  It's impossible.

That's a fair point but the OP says what it is going to happen if the most of the supply will be lost?
Then no one will have any interest in bitcoin due to the limited supply and that there will not be many buy and sell orders. I don't think that it is going to lose value. Also the option of a fork is possible is something like that is inevitable.
3888  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tottenham Vs LiverPool UEFA Final on: May 31, 2019, 03:35:43 PM
I expect to see many goals scored to this match, similar to the Europa League Final. Especially if they don't look at their defenses too much.
This is my prediction Tottenham (4) - (2) Liverpool

Wow, it turns out you support Tottenham. That is amazing. This proves that this match is indeed difficult to predict. We here only support and hope the club we support can win in the final later. We will see a lot of goals going on in the Final later.

Yes I support Tottenham, but I would be happy if Liverpool will win it because of Klopp.
He is one of the best coaches in the world right now and he totally deserves to win the Champions League. He lost it with Borussia and now he has a second chance.
3889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: May 31, 2019, 03:25:01 PM
Warriors is the best team in the NBA, it's just normal to gain a lot of fans.

Tonight, I wasn't expecting that Cousins will play but he did play tonight, I'm now seeing them having a chance of winning despite still down at the moment.
Golden State Warriors played so bad this game 1 of the championship. I thought they will rage on the second half but it didn't. On the first half, the Golden State Warriors really didn't play well, maybe it because of Kevin Durant? Even Cousins played, they are still not enough for this.
Hoping they will improve on game 2.

Why not saying that the Raptors were better in the game?
I believe that Raptors made the difference and dominated yesterday's game. It had nothing to do with GSW and KD, it was about Siakam that did an amazing game and pushed Raptors to the first win.

This is an awesome guide I recently found on Bitcoin https://stadivm.com/cc/bitcoin-guide/

Great for anyone wishing to gain a deeper understanding. The content covered includes...

CHAPTER ONE: What is Bitcoin?
CHAPTER TWO: What is it about Bitcoin that gives it its value?
CHAPTER THREE: Is there anyone that controls Bitcoin?
CHAPTER FOUR: Buying, storing, trading and investing in Bitcoin?
CHAPTER FIVE: Core vs. Cash – What’s the difference?
CHAPTER SIX: Where is Bitcoin at today, and where will it be tomorrow?


Ιnteresting guide but I think that there should be more stories about Bitcoin SV, ABCC and all the other clones that may puzzle an investor that is new to the market.
It also raise awareness of the old people in there. Simple and easy to read for beginners, intermediates and experts
3891  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another Satoshi filed claim for Bitcoin Whitepaper on: May 30, 2019, 06:12:57 PM
But absolutely anyone can file a claim right? that's established. It means nothing.
And wow, we need to get rid of these kind of actors(CSW primarily) from this space, looks like a playground from the outside world.
Good luck adoption.

Indeed. And I wonder why people think that this is hot news. Anyone can claim it but we will never know who is the real.
And apart from that, is CSW claimed the copyrights why BSV is pumped and not BTC? He filed claims for BTC and not BSV. I truly believe that there are a lot of naive people in the market even after all this bear market.
3892  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-05-24] LocalBitcoins Bans Bitcoin Buying in Iran on: May 30, 2019, 06:03:14 PM
Not exactly great for the whole "decentralization" argument, if pressure from the US government is enough to dictate who is and is not allowed to trade bitcoin.

What other options exist for users in Iran? Localbitcoins via Tor or a VPN and buying/selling for cash? Are there other exchanges still operating in Iran? Bisq?

This is a reason why the ecosystem cannot be developed at all.
Because there is still not a clear environment and defined governmental decisions regarding Bitcoin and the crypto industry. If a government shuts down crypto transactions then the system is paralyzed.
3893  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoins in hands of whales - should be worried? on: May 30, 2019, 05:58:00 PM
According to BlockChain24.co, over the past nine months, the crypto whales have bought 450,000 BTC. You think is it any danger in whales holding so significant amount of Bitcoins?

This feature in the cryptocurrency markets is opposed to the decentralized ecosystem that they people want to make transactions at.
If there are whales then the network is centralized and not decentralized. Thus, it is something that worries me a lot, especially in the case where bitcoin tries to jump on a bull market.
3894  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Wall Street really interested in Bitcoin? on: May 30, 2019, 04:57:22 PM
The wolves of wallstreet do not leave anything that makes profits out of attention.
I think that they have of course notices bitcoin as there is a high opportunity to make profits. And the companies and the employees of wallstreet count their success on the rates of profit that they do.
3895  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Fiat VS. Crypto, which is a more stable currency? on: May 30, 2019, 04:33:20 PM
If a stable coin does not have an 1:1 all-cash reserve, do you think this means it fails to keep its value on par with USD?

As the media questions whether Tether has enough USD reserve to support its value in the recent USDT/Bitfinex drama, I found a data analysis of fiat currencies pegged to USD and comparison to stable coins.

https://medium.com/sophonexchange/stable-currencies-fiat-vs-crypto-a2ab0a50e903?source=friends_link&sk=f34d3104f7c3ca7bbe91ae508f556e56


1:1 reserved with what? With USD?
Fiat is stable but it would not be for so long. Its value has an amazing volatility especially when economic events happen and in most of the cases this events are bad and not positive ones.
3896  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 30, 2019, 04:28:10 PM
after Chelsea won the UEL he announced that he had decided to leave the Chelsea club on the grounds that he wanted to find a new challenge. do you think which club will be Eden Hazard's choice?

Seems like you have missed some news  Grin
There are many Rumors that he has agreed with Real Madrid. If I were him, I would definitely choose to leave Chelsea, He has made everything and he is in the Hall of Fame in the Premier League, why not challenge more titles with Real Madrid now?
3897  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: May 30, 2019, 04:22:15 PM

Between Raptors and Warriors in the upcoming finals, I don't see any reason why Game 1 winner here should dictate the series. We can expect a changed of game style the next game after testing strategies in Game 1.

You buddy forget that the one side win can be a break in the series and this is a huge advantage for Raptors as they are the weakest team in the finals.
Each and every match is important in the series and the teams should neglect no one of them.
3898  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What messenger do you use to chat with your crypto gambling buddies? on: May 30, 2019, 04:11:22 PM
Weirdly enough, we mostly chat through Gmail.
Most of us are office workers and many of our office blocks social networks. That leaves us with fewer options.
As Gmail is preferred email service for individuals, it's kept open for private use. So we chat with the hangout within the mail website and share any long text or attachments through email.

You can also try Telegram.
There are many channels and you can connect with more people that are not in your connections freely. You can also monitor conversations around gambling and crypto.

My prediction previously said that Liverpool were the champions. And sure enough, this football legend also seems to predict that Liverpool won in the final later. Below are the people, maybe all football lovers already know and know who is in the picture below.

Please say, what is the predicted score later?
This is my prediction Tottenham (0) - (2) Liverpool

Man...  I'm gonna laugh sooo hard if it turns out to be Mouriho at Juve.  The fans would be sooo furious after all the anticipation for Pep.  Cheesy

Go Mou!

I think that Mourinho is going to be more efficient in Juve.
Guardiola's playstyle doesn't fit in the Italian League in my opinion. The championship likes more stagnant plays.
