Have you report the thread by yourself? if not then I don't see any reason why you open up this topic.

Why you need to cherry pick those two topics? there are another two topics about Premier League.

1. ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2023/2024
2. Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread

Someone could argue that thread is only for a specific group and another one has moderation to reduce spams, that's correct, then why not lock the two topics that posted by @OP?

There are two problems in this case:
1. User, not report the post.
2. Moderator, less moderation.

It is very possible indeed and we look at it realistically and the overall strength of the two teams and it is clear that PSG is slightly stronger than Real Sociedad so if there are no surprises then PSG will be able to get through this round of 16 without any significant difficulties.
Real Sociedad is a surprise team so far, I see that Real Sociedad does not have excessive strength and it has been proven now that their performance in the last few matches has declined in their domestic league matches and this is quite profitable for PSG.
Real Sociedad might be a team that lack of strength, but that's fine since they have a good defensive too. At least they have a chance to beat PSG even though it looks competitive, unlike most of people who think PSG will obviously win the match.

Based on history, PSG's performance was really poor during knockout stage, they only very strong during group stage.

More precisely, Xabi Alonso is currently being targeted by many of Europe's top teams because of Xabi Alonso's success in creating or building the Leverkusen team as it is today. I think it is quite worthy because Xabi Alonso has shown his qualities so it's only natural that many top teams want him.
I think the rumors for Bayern are still quite far away because so far Tauchel has been successful and has made Bayern Munich's performance quite strong, but we don't know at the end of the season what could happen if Tauchel has failed to meet the expectations or targets that have been set by Bayern management.
If Xabi can win either Bundesliga or Europa League, it's better for Manchester United to hire him and kick the bald guy. Manchester United already lose their legacy as one of toughest team in Premier League. They need to find a good coach who can able to develop the whole team, just like Xabi who wasn't sign many players, but he develop the existing players with a new strategy.

Looking forward to see the result match between Manchester United vs Tottenham and i am curious want to see who is the winner of this match later because both teams in Premier league has been showing inconsistency performance especially for Manchester United and to predict their matches results is quite hard because during this season Manchester United performance was quite unpredictable that we have seen often Manchester United lose against small teams and the latest is Manchester United have to lose from Nottingham Forest on boxing day and this result is really unexpected because most people predict they can able to beat Nottingham Forest
Of course it's gonna be Tottenham's game because was losing against a 15th positions' team, Tottenham is way better than Manchester United. If you check the existing players, many players are injured, so you can't expect a big change in near future.

Playing in Old Trafford doesn't mean anything, look at the few last match they lose 0-3 against Bournemouth.
425  Economy / Reputation / Re: Timelord2067, can you clarify please before I post a flag on you? on: January 03, 2024, 08:07:51 AM
Oh, I know exactly how trust system works, if DT's don't act on something important, then the only solution would be for them to be blacklisted by admin, and the flag will also serve it's perfect purpose, not to mention a trust feedback would seal the deal later on.
Nah.

If DTs not do something e.g. leave feedback, supporting/opposing a flag, etc, you will not get any punishment for that, as long as you not making multiple mistakes, you're fine.

Theymos isn't in favor to kick someone from DT network, except you can find the proof if someone is trusted by sock puppets.

Due largely to the factors mentioned in this topic, I believe that anyone dealing with icopress is at a high risk of losing money, and guests would be well-advised to avoid doing so. This determination is based on concrete red flags which any knowledgeable & reasonable forum user should agree with, and it is not based on the user's opinions.
I don't think this is correct, DT network ≠ reputation. Someone who're not a DT can be trusted i.e. DT isn't the only way to evaluate someone whether it's a scammer or legitimate.

The solution is to do more work getting higher layers (L2, L3) ready for mass usage. LN is a good example, but there should be others with different designs and different benefits / tradeoffs so people can use whichever networks are best for their use case.
The thing is, many people think L2 or L3 are scam and on chain is the only network that can be trusted. With such thought, you can't expect many people will migrate to L2 or L3. AFAIK to use L2 or L3, you need to make on chain transaction first, people are looking a way without need to make on chain transaction because it's expensive.

Since people who regularly make a transaction is only spend small amount of money, they prefer to use altcoins and use Bitcoin as a long term investment.
427  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What course can one study in university that can build potential in bitcoin? on: January 01, 2024, 02:20:52 PM
AFAIK Bitcoin developers aren't get paid at all, anyone can make a contribution, but you won't earn any money, so how you can say it's a potential?

If you study about information system, computer science, etc you might become a blockchain developer, but you're high likely will work about altcoins instead of Bitcoin.

Taking economy or business degree mostly help you to understand about money management, it's really less or nothing to discuss about Bitcoin.

Rest In Peace light_warrior, you have a big contribution in this forum, you will be missed. Smiley

I also want to thank people who're associated in this contest (light_warrior's family, GazetaBitcoin, and icopress)


My prediction: $40,000

Bitcoin's price is keep rising, so I expect a downturn due to volatility, Bitcoin price will not always increase or vice versa.
429  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is bitcoin stability important? on: December 31, 2023, 10:18:41 AM
Volatility can increase uncertainty, hinder investment, hinder growth in Alcocent.
Wrong, Bitcoin won't reach $40K if volatility is a failure.

Did you mean Alcocent is Altcoin? it's funny you blame Bitcoin for anything happens in Altcoin.

moreover, why bitcoin's price is unstable is because its adoption is lower compared to fiat. if there were more people relying on bitcoin for their transactions, it would probably make the price of bitcoin to be stable, but nowadays more people treat bitcoin as a trading instrument that can cause the price to go up or down at any time.
Wrong, Bitcoin was never been stable regardless it's less or full adoption. When everyone are use Bitcoin to pay everything, the fees would be extremely expensive although we might shift to L2 or L3. People spend their coins are subjective too, yesterday you spent $100, today you might spend $200, so it's really vary.

1. Money
If they don't have money, how they can buy Bitcoin.

2. Education
Many people are easily get scammed because they prefer to invest their money in cryptocurrency aka altcoins instead of Bitcoin. They trust more in centralization than decentralization because they got brainwashed. This is the hardest part.

3. Religion
There's a religion say intangible asset is haram/forbidden.

Inter is great and all, Hakan is also a good player, but he is quite old now and a 20 million deal is not that bad, what are they going to get for him anyway? He would probably not be paid too much. I would say, if they can keep him until the end of the season and then sell him for 20 million that would be the ideal situation, but if he is sold at winter break for 18 and then they get someone else, that wouldn't be a bad financial decision neither, they could totally do that too.

I just want to remind, these clubs are as much sports as they are business as well, and when you are offered "6 months of this player and no money versus sell him now for 18" the options are clear to me. They can still decide to keep him, but if it was me, then I would have sold him right away.
His market value is 45 Million Euros, why they need to sell him just for 20 Million Euros lol.

The Saudi Arabia offered a personal agreement to Hakan if they would pay him for 18 Miliion Euros salary, it's 70-80% more of his current salary. Even Saudi Arabia want to offer big amount money to Inter, I don't think Inter want to accept it since they're currently on road to win both Serie A and Champions League.

We have five matches today:

Luton Town vs Chelsea, Chelsea to win @1.55

Aston Villa vs Burnley, draw @5.00

Crystal Palace vs Brentford, draw @3.30

Manchester City vs Sheffield United, both teams to score - no @2.63

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton, Wolverhampton to win @2.63

I guess those are the best possible bets based on my observation by taking look with their performance and historical stats.
433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 29, 2023, 11:23:33 AM
DeGea should accept the offer if it is true that Newcastle wants to make him a goalkeeper at Newcastle because the longer he is without a club, the more clubs will doubt his abilities, and it is quite unfortunate that after deciding not to extend his contract at Manchester United, he has not yet found a club to place for him to played and reportedly it was because he asked for too high a salary which made clubs reluctant to make him a player.
He is still listed as a good goalkeeper if you look at his game at Manchester United but he needs to play immediately because being without a club for too long will be detrimental to his career.
De Gea can play in any team, but I believe his heart is still in Manchester United since he have been playing for 13 years with Manchester United, that's not short. De Gea deserve back to Premier League because he's still capable and able to play for next few years.

He need to prove everyone Ten Hag was wrong.
434  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 29, 2023, 11:15:37 AM
Saka flop in this match, he shots for 9 times and there's no goal he can score, while the other strikers only shots for 3-4 times.

Arsenal can't always depend on him, he was not as good as Salah. Arsenal wasn't perform in this season, they're just lucky enough to reach top standings. But in the long run and consistency, Arsenal doesn't have it.

I would like to see this one when I wake up on the next year.



however I would love to see less plagiarism, less use of alts and most especially I would love there to be less posts about conjestions in the mempool.
Plagiarism, usage of multiple accounts, discuss about a particular topic are committed by user. It's something like very very unlikely to happen except the forum turns strict about their rules.
436  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Bitcoin Guides Would Help You Most? on: December 29, 2023, 06:05:44 AM
For someone who wants to use BTC as a payment method and not a speculative investment, how to handle the taxes?
I read.

You pay taxes on cryptocurrency if you sell or use your crypto in a transaction, and it is worth more than it was when you purchased it. This is because you trigger capital gains or losses if its market value has changed.

It's measured in USD equivalent, you can use blockchair.com to know how much the coins worth based on transaction dates. This is the capital gains bracket.



It means if you not use your coins after a year and you only spend up to $11K, you won't be taxed.

This is my understanding, I'm not from US.
437  Other / Meta / Re: Mixers to be banned on: December 29, 2023, 05:09:30 AM
What's going on? suddenly many newbies jump into this thread.

@Theymos, if this one is really implemented on January 1st, hopefully, we can bring back the "Advertise in this forum" feature. But, of course, promoting mixers is not allowed.
I'm not going to disagree with you, but why the forum need to bring back the ads? This new rule affect the users since they can't advertise centralized mixers anymore, not the forum.

I'd like to point out that mixers are destined to disappear in the future

(Source: myself, I come from the year 3030)
That means we still have 1007 years more before mixers will be banned.

How do these opinions reflect the broader sentiments within the cryptocurrency community regarding regulatory measures and their influence on platforms promoting anonymity and privacy?
Most people simply don't care since they hold their coins in centralized exchange.
438  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: ViaBTC offers no more free TX acceleration? on: December 28, 2023, 10:56:43 AM
That's called a competition, many many many people want their transactions to be confirmed, so the one who submit the TX ID not only yourself.

I'm just hoping the other miners want to offer free accelerator service instead of picking transactions that willing to overpaid fees.

Due to ordinal inscriptions, you need to be careful before create a transaction with low fees since we don't know when those people want to spam the network and make the fees suddenly went up.
439  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 28, 2023, 10:02:59 AM
There is nothing like a shame in Victor Osimhen staying in Napoli and playing his game. Napoli is a big team and he is valued at the club and he is having a play time at the club. Osimhen didn't start his football career at Napoli so he has experienced different clubs and he still young and has many years ahead of him. He shouldn't move when he thinks it's not the right time for him to do so.
His performance went down in this season, they're struggle in any league/cup, I guess this could be a good time for Napoli to sell both Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia because they have a value. Napoli is just an average team, so it's not surprising if many players join Napoli as a stepping stone.

If they can't perform in their new teams or already old, usually they will back to their old teams.
440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: December 28, 2023, 09:53:14 AM
Leverkusen enjoys their play and build progressively from the back but Liverpool prefers to get the ball straight to the attack from the flanks.Well if Leverkusen gets the UEL and Bundesliga then I think Xabi will go down as their coach of all time and that’ll be a great thing, but definitely there's a possibility of them losing him if that happens cause I'm pretty sure, other top clubs would come running after him an offer he can't reject, especially Real Madrid that's in search of a good replacement for Ancelotti when he leaves their team.
Zidane should become Real Madrid's manager, he's an overrated manager since he brought Real Madrid win Champions League three times in a row. Now Real Madrid weren't in their prime, we need to know how the result when Zidane become a manager again. Roll Eyes

Xabi might be leave Leverkusen because he will have an opportunity to train a better team and receive higher salary.
