If you have been following Elon Musk for quiet a while then you may have noticed that he’s often trolled DogeCoin in the past, and this time he’s trolled it by sharing a image of DogeCoin eating the entire financial system. Furthermore what’s amused me is that his tweets made the prices of DogeCoin rise upwards, and if he continues with these kind of tweets then he alone can pump up the DogeCoin prices to record levels. 
Responding to a sarcastic tweet asking Musk for lost Bitcoin, Musk wrote:
“Excuse me, I only sell Doge!”

When the t20 world cup was supposed to be held? I have forgotten totally. Is the world cup get postponed for IPL, I think that is a stupid move from them. Soccer matches already have started, why not cricket globally? I think now it's possible to run by following some strict rules.
The scheduled date to start the T20 World Cup was 18th October and the final was to take place on 15th November, the BCCI and other franchise tournament are waiting for the ICC to make a clarity on how they are proceeding with the tournament. Soccer clubs resumed their schedule and they are running it smoothly and the England and West Indies is going on well other than the Jofra Archer incident where he broke the safety protocol and hence not in the team and it shows the lack of discipline in cricket and may be the cricket boards are not willing to risk that  . I have received a news article link from my Indian friend which says that BCCI is expecting ICC to announce the postponement of the World Cup tomorrow?, is this news true?. Further the article also states that IPL will be organised in UAE which I too had mentioned earlier in this thread, however it’ll be really interesting if ICC is adamant that the T20 World Cup needs to be organised instead of the IPL.

Two big matches in the fa cup this weekend, all of these teams are not taking the fa cup for granted, they need this trophy to shape up their season. Arsenal vs Manchester City today; the odds as we all know are in city's favor, but what if Arsenal are the team that qualifies for the final. Manchester United vs Chelsea tomorrow; IIRC, United have beaten Chelsea three times already this season, are they going to deliver the last blow to their rivals and make it four, or will the blues get revenge  What are your predictions? For me, it's Manchester City vs Manchester united in the final, a derby final will do for me P.S, I placed my bet on City to win half time and on United to qualify. Frankly I was quite surprised to watch the Arsenal vs Manchester City match, Arteta was very good at making strategies to strengthen the defense
Arsenal is difficult to penetrate by Manchester City players. The final score of 2-0 for Arsenal is indeed worth it, if Arsenal can consistently play well.
It is not impossible to become an FA Cup champion. And Aubameyang is playing superbly, hopefully Arsenal can keep Aubameyang from moving
next season.
@coyster it seems that Arsenal has advanced to the finals, and like @Mcobian I’m surprised too that Pep team was defeated and this is not a good sign for Manchester City. Further for tonight fixture I’m hoping that Manchester United will win the game, and then beat Arsenal in the final to win the trophy, who else feels the same?. |

Juventus and Lazio game will be quite the thrill to watch. I mean normally I would say that Juventus is clearly the better team but Lazio managed to come so far in the league this year so I wasn't really expecting them to drop in the few last games, maybe they will try to cover that distance with a win? That would be something to watch. The first 4 spots is interesting, Juventus is almost guaranteed winner but the second and third spots can change at any game. Its 69-70 and 71 points with still a lot of games to be played as well so anything could change. I mean technically speaking Juventus could change as well but I do not think that will happen, they will surely win it. Its really quite cool to see what will happen in the last games and who will be second, third and fourth.
In last 4 games both teams dropping points Juventus have only 5 and Lazio just 1 mean both are going down but Juventus is still in some good shape and they can win this match at home but another thing both have seats in next years Champions League which is big relief for them just Atlanta form is very good and they can go for 2nd place as Inter is also dropping points regularly. As you guys have speculated anything can happen in the remaining tournament but i expect Lazio to beat Juventus because the club seems to be relaxed lately. Speaking of Lazio manager, I dont know if you guys are aware that he was Lazio former player in the year 1999–2010 with 28goals and 1999/2000 was the last time Lazio won Serie A cup so the manager he's trying to push the team forward so they could win their third Serie A cup. @hulla I’m not sure that Lazio will win this match easily because Juventus are a strong team, and they will not let their guard down now knowing that they’re one step closer to winning the title. Also I wasn’t aware of Lazio’s manager’s past and maybe this will inspire his player’s to work harder on the pitch, but to defeat Juventus Lazio player’s will have to produce something magical on the pitch otherwise Juventus will beat them. |

@Daniel91 yea Real Madrid is not planning to spend big this season, and they have even dropped their plans to sign Pogba from Manchester United. Further I’m not surprised that Ramos will continue at Real Madrid because he’s a born leader, and he truly represents what the club wants in a player, and lastly even he knows that at his age he won’t get a lucrative contract anywhere else.

Keeping schools closed is much more harmful to kids than it is protecting them from the virus. Schools in Europe have reopened without flareups in schools, and many students were outright not participating in school activities when children were sent home in March. There have been studies that suggest students received "roughly 70% of learning gains in reading relative to a typical school year, and less than 50% in math" in the last school year. It's a big country. There are places where it's safe to open schools and there are places where it isn't. The federal government threatening schools is bullshit. Our district has 3 different plans (full capacity, half capacity alternating days, online only) and I have a lot more faith that they'll pick the most suitable option than the federal nutjobs deciding what's good for all schools while trying to appease their base in an election year. @suchmoon in my personal opinion the federal government should not force the schools to reopen unless the area they’re in has very less cases, because children’s can act as carriers and spread this virus ahead. Furthermore I also acknowledge that online studies is difficult for the students, because they’re not used to staring at the computer screen for so many hours, but these are extraordinary circumstances and they should learn to adapt.

Hell even if you have no idea about football, just go there and click on some random names (even picking goalkeeper along the way) and you can't lose anything, it is free
Fair point but if you do plan on losing this by choosing goalkeeper then why would you bother to join it in the first place?  There is absolutely no reason to join if you plan on losing it. Also you are decreasing your chance to win if you keep on picking random names from each game. I doubt that anyone that join this with the hope of winning 7/7 would be picking random names out of nowhere. If you do plan to win 7/7 , it wont be as easy as blindly picking names . You would need to do abit of your own research wether those name that you picked will be playing on the match or even consider choosing another more favourable name to score It may seems simple and easy but It is not as easy as picking random number for some sort of lottery though Agreed, even if we do not know about football at all but if we want to get the chance to win something from this Majestic 7 promo, it will be better to do small reseaches. At least do not pick random names blindly, getting information on which players of the team who usually score goals is better choice. Of course it does not give any guarantees of correct pick but at least we get better chance of getting correct pick compared to random pick without even knowing the picked players. I totally agree with you two on this as these days all the stats are available online, and it just takes few minutes to do proper research, and then select the player’s you feel that will help you win that big price. Also since we’re down to the final two games of this season, I’m hoping that one of us wins it as we all have been trying so hard to win it since a long time now. |

There has been no activity in this oldest cricket thread also but now i think we can talk n discuss more about cricket. There was nothing much to talk about cricket and fortunately we have one series resumed and hopefully we will see more countries resuming the matches. England is experimenting with the team and it would be fun if West Indies could white wash the series, i did not expect the first match to go with West Indies but they played the best cricket and hopefully they could retain that kind of performance. Well right now its looking good for England after a good batting performance by the team. Now we'll see how good the WI are chasing over 450 runs in the first innings. England will need some quick wickets on day 3 if they are any chance of winning and to restrict the WI to under 350 runs. @vella85 it finally looks like I’ll be getting this match’s prediction right (England), as I was horribly wrong about the last match, when I had so confidently posted that England would win the match easily. Further England has declared their innings after scoring 469 runs, and West Indies have already lost a wicket for 32 runs. Lastly if England manages to pick few more quick wickets, then they’ll definitely be able to win this match and restore their pride.

Agree with everyone above, even as a Barca fan and supporter, this is the jolt of reality that we have finally needed. Real did not even need to win last night as we just lost it all to Osasuna of all teams.
End of the Messi era needed to happen, we kept relying on him and this is how it ends. And I said it I think many months ago we needed to drop badly and not win anything to learn, maybe this will now come through.
Well done Real.
It's a bit irony to see during these years that clearly messi carry Barcelona alone, yeah that is true , try to deny this. Then when Messi transfered out or get retired.. who's gonna carry Barcelona? Some people says .. these guys will do :  Job done at real madrid Hazard, come back to chelsea anytime you want. @slaman indeed this was a rude wake up call for Barcelona, and in Victor Font (candidate for Barcelona’s presidential post) words Barcelona risk becoming the next Ac Milan or Manchester United.
The Liga club could follow the fallen giants from Italy and England and be unable to compete for major European honours, unless changes are made
Furthermore he’s correctly highlighted that Corona effect will mean, that Barcelona will be unable to spend huge amounts of money in the transfer market. Therefore in my personal opinion Barcelona should improve on their man management skills, otherwise they’ll be unable to challenge for trophies next season too.

Help me understand this. Will this partnership help retirees to buy and sell bitcoin under the trading strategies of Fidelity's experts? They cannot expect old grandma to do it by herself. Pump and dump with retiree funds?  Crypto custodian Kingdom Trust is offering customers bitcoin cold storage from Fidelity Digital Assets.
The storage will be offered on Kingdom Trust’s Choice retirement account, a hybrid self-service retirement platform where investors can buy, sell or hold stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and digital assets in one tax-advantaged account.
Kingdom Trust CEO Ryan Radloff hopes the partnership with Fidelity will nudge the investment giant closer to serving retail crypto investors.
“I think having Fidelity grow is so important for bitcoin and the market’s maturity that I’m willing to sacrifice a few basis points of margin for that,” Radloff said of the new business arrangement. “We think this is meaningful for a lot of people that already have Fidelity retirement accounts but have really been waiting for Fidelity Digital Assets’ mandate to mature from just an institutional one to institutional and retail.”Read in full https://www.coindesk.com/fidelity-digital-assets-to-custody-bitcoin-in-kingdom-trust-retirement-accounts@bbc.reporter old folks will never buy bitcoins because they cannot handle the volatility that bitcoin brings, and secondly they may even find it complicated to keep their wallet safe. Lastly at their age I don’t expect them to be patient enough if bitcoin transactions take longer than expected, and hence we can rule them out of ever investing in bitcoins.

C Palace 0-2 Man Utd (78 minutes)
Man Utd responding really well to seeing Leicester win. They could not afford to slip up here & they’re doing their job. Going to be fun to see the fight for 4th place.
@DeathAngel I feel that Manchester United were very lucky to win this match, because Crystal Palace played really well and honestly they deserved to be awarded that penalty, but then again as a Manchester United fan I was very happy that VAR denied their request for a penalty. Also did anyone else notice that if Bruno struggles with the ball then it’s starts to effect the entire team, and hence I’m praying that he stays in top form till the end of the season, because we really need his skills to clinch the champions league spot.

I have been playing a lot of slots lately and the end result has been always I have lost with few exceptions where I won with a 0.40 Eur bet 1000 Eur.The fact that the games keep you play or not is the bonus game which no slot provider tells its running frequency on the reels.How to check for example ones in how many spins a bonus round is guaranteed?I have taken notes and sometimes it has been 35 spins some other up to 350
spins without bonus game.These statistics are from Play n Go provider and Swords and the Holy grail slot.
It depends on the type of game, I enjoy playing those slot games where you can choose how many free spins you want on your bonus round but the downside in getting more free spins is that the multiplier is reduced by 1/3 and you can also do it vice versa. I agree some slot games would sometimes tease you with 2 scatters then the next like 10-20 spins are all losses. 
Slot manufacturers build near-miss elements into their reels all the time, with the hopes it keeps players engaged, feeling like a win is nearby. Sometimes it’s deemed they go to far, although near misses themselves are not illegal.
@swogerino I too had this question in my mind but after burning my free coins, I have come to the conclusion that there’s no way to create a legitimate pattern to win in slots, it’s all about your luck and that’s it. mu_enrico you’re right as slots are made to be more engaging, and they’re also considered as an easy game which requires no skill set, hence everyone prefers to play slots more than any other game in the casino.

Why does English bowling line up still looks so sturdy with two major bowlers out. I think it's ability of Ben stokes to act as a full time bowling plus batting all rounder that makes the line up so good.
World class all-rounder always comes handy. Plus their tail is looking strong now, as far as batting is concern. Broad, Sam Curran and Woakes can add crucial runs too. I heard Archer traveled his way back home between the tests which is violation of the quarantine protocol. now he will undergo a 5 day isolation and will have to under go covid-19 test twice. Well isn't it a joke? Considering that symptoms can come after 5 days. So when he plays the third match people playing alongside would still be at a risk. Isn't it? Yes, but they had some kind of disciplinary rule or something so if you break any rules then you are out, happened with many players in intl cricket. ~snip~
England : 29/1 - Lunch Break-
Now 29/2 Chase on Hat-Trick miss Root on crease. Shiiit Root gone, here goes my money
England all out under 200 runs?? lol Currently Sibley and Stokes doing good job if they stay for some more time then surely they are going to touch 300+ which could be very good for them as after first 3 wickets West Indies is sloppy and doing some mistakes which cost them this match. @JSRAW I got confused because of you as I believed that England were already all out for 200, and I kept checking the score everywhere, and it kept showing me a different score and only after few minutes did I realise, that it was just your prediction and not the actual score. Also currently both Stokes and Sibley are playing well and if they both continue playing like this, then it’s quiet possible that England may score 350 - 450 runs by the end of their first innings.

The question that enters my mind here now though is, doesn't Jack Dorsey and others use 2FA? Or have the hackers figured out how to bypass that too? I actually have a super inactive Twitter account but I know if I access it from another device I have to 2FA. Don't even remember setting it up so it must have forced me to at some point.
@buwaytress normally whenever I login in Twitter it instantly sends me a mail on my registered email id to confirm that it’s me, and I’m surprised that those guys failed to saw that mail, or if someone else manages their accounts then why didn’t that person login, and instantly secure their accounts?. Also since your account has been inactive for quite a while now, I would advise you to reset your password instantly even if you’re not actively using it.
Login verification is an extra layer of security for your account. Instead of relying on a password only, login verification introduces a second check to help make sure that you, and only you, can access your Twitter account. Only people who have access to both your password and your mobile phone (or a security key) will be able to log in to your account

Ferrari have a big management problem not the driver itself, Mercedes have the same problems years ago with Hamilton vs. Rosberg. Many accidents and tense attitude of the drivers but Toto Wolff and Lauda can handle it, that's can't Binotto. Apart from these problems, Ferrari is not competitive.
Many years also Verstappen have many problems with inexperience and accidents but he worked on himself and more routine at time.
According to rumors here in Italy the team principal of Ferrari "Mattia Binotto" can be fired on the following GPS if Ferrari will not improve. They already found the following leader, Antonello Coletta from the GT series. I agree with rumors if they will happen to be true.Mattia Binotto has had his time at Ferrari and he has not showed anything better than its predecessor which I forgot the name now but it was one guy with white beard.Ferrari is really slow compared to the cars leading the Championship and I would fire him too if he didn’t show any signs of improvement in this upcoming Hungary Gp. It is Mauricio Arrivabene and to be honest he was at least 5 times better in managing Ferrari team and drivers then Binotto. Binotto deserved to be fired long ago, I don't see that any upcoming races can change that fact. It should be more then enough to fire him if you look at the state of the car, drivers, team and direction in which Ferrari is going at the moment. Or better said the direction in which Ferrari is certainly not going and that is wining titles. I’ll agree with you’ll that Ferrari should have fired Binotto after last season ended, and hopefully his replacement (Antonello Coletta unofficial though) will do a better job than Binotto ever did. Next week new race, this time in the Hungarian GP, this track is boring as hell one of the worse.
The only good thing is that Redbull should be very close to Mercedes, this will be also the last call for Ferrari with the full version2 of the car.
@coinlocket$ i feel that we should be optimistic because we’re lucky to see a race in this pandemic, and I would not wager on Redbull because I can’t see Mercedes loosing this race due to their winning habit.

Damn you're right. Not going to change anything here as this was my messup, but I really did fall into a bit of the media circus that is Trump/ Coronavirus and mask wearing. Though I think a better headline to use for this would've been something along the lines of 'haven't worn a mask in public for months now' but that doesn't garner as many clicks for news companies. @squatz1 it’s not your fault as these days Media is all about clickbait titles, as that helps them attract traffic and then they make money by monetising that traffic so don’t be so harsh on yourself. Who cares lol. 'Experts' said numerous times that masks were useless.
masks are about containing not protecting from the virus. they are meant to prevent those that are infected to infect others Yea but, this is what the WHO said initially in March: ''there is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks by the mass population has any potential benefit. In fact, there's some evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse of wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly," Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO After statements like those, it's hard to really trust anything they say mate. ... Then they walked back the claim when they noticed that it was wrong. It's indicative of being smart in showing that you're able to change your opinion as new evidence pretenses itself. Fauci said the same thing back then, then he altered his opinion when he noticed that he was wrong. Did you ever see or hear of a doctor going into surgery without a mask Doctors and nurses wear masks to keep from infecting weak, sick people with germs that they, the medical people, have, and have already built immune system immunity to. That's all that Trump was doing. He was visiting some sick and elderly service people. And he was protecting them from diseases he might have, just the way doctors and nurses do in the operating room. Btw, if you don't trade your mask for a new one every two hours or so, your old mask becomes a haven for all kinds of bacteria and viruses that grow in the mask. Trade it in for a new one, or at least wash it, or you will be infecting a whole lot more people (yourself included) than if you hadn't worn the mask in the first place.  So this year is the heaven for facemask manufacturers. Honestly wearing mask doesn't gives us complete protection then why everyone suggesting to wear one, it better to impose complete PPE rule so there will be no more spreads.  Not complete protection, but it does HELP to LIMIT the amount of particles that you're spewing in the air. So that does something in helping the curve come down. Further cotton masks are definitely ineffective against corona and one should avoid wearing them, and till date many experts have different opinions about face masks, hence it’s best to follow Qatar airplanes lead and use face mask along with face shields.

Its very long time I never on site but now time for some action again as this is one of best dice site for me I have very good time here now they already achieved 440 Million bets which is not bad at all good future is ahead of them as they have good team and support nice now you have SMM for this forum.
Yeah, its been a long time to see that Windice didnt make any activity into this forum which do somewhat cause for us almost to forget that this site exist or just simply they just havent post into this place and focusing on other key areas. I remembered this site is soaring and gaining up popularity but im not sure on why they have stopped and its a bad thing imho.I havent seen the current status of the site now in terms of player numbers. Good thing that they are considering it back now.! I think even when they were getting so much attention, that wasn't due to them being here neither, they were never here, check out the posts of windice accounts and you will see that there is really nothing that was shared here. The only reason why they got so much attention was the fact that they did a huge 0.3 bitcoin level competition and had a huge signature campaign.
So, you saw their name everywhere and when you checked you saw people gambling 30+ bitcoin to beat each other and get that 0.3 bitcoin prize. Of course, they dropped that marketing down a ton and right now there is nothing like that which could gather some attention for them. I am sure they are still doing fairly well for themselves but that is just the reason why there is nothing you see that could get a ton of attention from people once again.
Im part of that signature campaign and i can say that it is indeed huge plus having some wagering contest that do happen every other day as far as i remember which did really make out some noise and even reaching millions of bets on a short span of time.The only thing it lacks is that they didnt able to sustain it for long and theyve become inactive to this place and now we are seeing several dice sites that do take over when it comes to forum popularity ex. Wolfbet,Roobet etc. but im wondering if they would able to make it for too long.This market are only for those who do survive. @indymoney I believe that initially they focused on Bitcointalk, but later on they prioritised their own in house forum where they used to post all the updates relating to their competitions. Also even with very little activity here they have yet been able to achieve record milestones, and hence they never felt the need to harness the true power of bitcointalk to further grow their site. Their Forum link: https://forum.windice.io/ |

Great ANN op. Checked your site out and loved the colorful design. The wide variety of games is a big plus point and the fact that you guys are accepting popular cryptocurrencies like BTC, Ripple and LTC is another big pro.
Observed that your site has decent reviews online(Ask gamblers etc). Do the bonuses provided for FIAT currencies apply to crypto deposits too?
Welcome to Bitcointalk. I just made a short visit on your website and your entire website design is truly impressive. I haven’t faced any issues with loading time and even the mobile view is also enough user friendly. I wish casino lovers gonna get good experience after using your platform. Plenty of games are available on your site and its the most important thing for a casino platform. Hope you guys will provide honest service from your end and your platform users will get best experience.
By the way, you are completely new in bitcointalk. So i wish you will spend some time to learn bitcointalk forum rules.
@haunebu @TalkStar I completely agree with you guys site design is sleek, and it loads well on IPad too so that’s a bonus for gamblers who often use mobiles and iPads to wager. However I was surprised when I saw the registration form, as it asks for DOB, Mobile Number, and I’m not sure if users need to submit KYC details too for cashing out, hence I won’t be registering for now unless they can clarify why they need such details.  |

I would rather save that money and buy something else. Who needs more than one 4K TV for anything to watch? Besides not every cable operator in every country can provide 4k yet so it means either paying for streaming services and/or gathering 4k content from other non-legal sources. Its a big win I know but lets be logical here, if I win probably I would vault that money or withdraw it right away. Dont want it to go back to Eddie's wallet anymore @Symphonized that’s a lot of money to be spent only on 4K TV, therefore I rather would save $2k for myself as covid has made everything very expensive, and rest $2k I would donate to charities near my location as they’re struggling for funds due to covid. @TheUltraElite I believe it also depends on your location as some countries do provide 4K resolution streaming, but then again I don’t think all can afford to pay for those premium services. |
