This is actually a great motivation not to actually stay active in the forum but it also portrays the need for patience when one is dealing with bitcoin entirely. I can imagine how many people back then in 2014 or even 2017 when you came to forum will imagine the current price of bitcoin, people predicting the current price today will have been tagged mad people in those years. This shows that no matter how low bitcoin price gets it will surely regain its price back with time.

It is inspirational how you also left the forum when you were having it hard as a newbie then and came back. This actually signifies the importance of taking a break when things don’t work out in life. This period of break actually gives one the space to re think and re learn. Congratulations on this amazing achievement Ultegra134, looking forward to celebrating another 3 more years on the forum with you.

The money Pochettino spent was the desire of the team owners to sign the best and expensive players in the world and they achieve that by signing players with very high money even players that did not worth that amount. In fact, Chelsea made the transfer summer very tough then because they were ready to pump in money for every player they want so that other teams cannot signed them.

Pochettino on the other hand has not been a successful manager for long that is why he was sacked while managing PSG. At PSG, he has all the players a good coach will need to win the Champions League but failed due to his inability to manage good and quality players to success; he was also unable to win any trophy while coaching Tottenham, I don't think he can lead Chelsea to the right place this season because he has all the players he needs, and yet no consistency.

This current Chelsea squad are seriously too young for any coach to have an immediate impact on. The injuries are piling up and it is disorganizing the whole style of play of any coach will have intended. Pochettino isn’t that a world class coach to me but still wouldn’t blame him all for this current mess the club is into. His decision making sometimes mostly during substitutions are somehow bizarre but the club overall is in trouble. They need a good recruitment team and not just signing any player.

Pochettino time at PSG we’re mixed, he actually did won some trophies but the major reason he lost his job just like the likes of Tuchel by failing to win the champions league. The same case that is happening to  Chelsea now is the same that is happening to PSG they lack better recruitment department and only recruit players base on the name they players had and not base on a club structure

Leonardo Bonucci looks happy for real as he has been confirmed, traveling down to turkey to complete his move finally with Fernabache.
He's had a short time with Union Berlin which I envisaged longer than it lasted. Jadon Sancho in between was exited to leave as he was seen retweeting Fabrizio's tweet about his complete move to Borrussia Dortmund who are also in the Champions League round of sixteen.

What's up with Khivicha Kvaratskhelia's manager and agent? Why is it difficult to focus on his job and stop dragging Victor Oshime into his  mouth? I think the should go fumigate his dirty ass before calling out on Victor Oshime disrespectfully. This is the second direct disrespect this season, I won't even take anything more if I was Victor. My agent would look for the best club to move while I play completely until the end of the season.

Bonucci’s time at Union Berlin was a period not to remember for him because he actually didn’t enjoy it because the club has actually been in crisis and that doesn’t only make him want to leave but he was relegated to the bench at the club. A move to Fernabache seems the right call for me at least he will get more playing time than this Union Berlin. Jordan Sancho move to Dortmund is actually great for both parties. In Manchester United perspective it will help reduce the wages on their list, as for Sancho this will help him get a second shot at top football and Dortmund definitely needs him to push more for the title.

The issue with Khivicha Kvaratskhelia’s agent and Osihmen is just something I point out to be a thing of Jealousy because how can you say a thing like that to a player which you don’t even represent. It is purely a disrespect to Osihmen and I love the fact that he responded to the comment.

There are some questions newbies ask that is making me to laugh. And they are funny. Op your question is fun. And base on your question I see this thread as nothing but you created it to increase your activities. You are really asking if to invest in Bitcoin in 2024 is okay or it is risky.

I think what OP generally is asking in whether to invest in bitcoin in 2024 is basically about the price. OP might be having some doubts that since the price is around $45k it seems high now and it might retrace later. My advice to OP is bitcoin price do not retrace like that and waiting for retracement might never arrive. If you have the money now invest into bitcoin because even at the current price there is possibility that it is going to do a 3x during a full bull run.

OP what you need to do is to split your funds and do a DCA if you’re skeptical about going all at this price. The DCA method is the best for price fluctuations like this. But be sure the amount you’re investing is for a very long time because. No one is certain when the bull run will actually comes the only prediction base on past bitcoin trends is that it comes after the halving but a certain date isn’t know.

It's such a perfect return for Timo Werner he should not look at the past now, he should rather wok on himself for the better. I know he will succeed  following his return to Tottenham Hotspur.

The defender Tottenham are interested in had also been approached by Bayern Munich,  he should be wise and pick Bayern Munich over Tottenham who had a lesser chance of winning him a trophy.
With James Maddison return, Timo Werner will score many goals.

Yeah it’s actually a great return to London by Timo Werner but winning the trophy I don’t think they have the opportunity to give him a trophy. Tottenham has long been Trophyless although probably it could change with the new boss Postecoglu.  I was actually thinking Tottenham would but maybe a towering striker to help in the Aerial duels. Timo Werner plays more directly from the flank than he does from the center Forward roles. Son although not available currently with Brendan Johnson were looking like the perfect duo. The addition of Werner isn’t a thing that I feel will impact Tottenham just yet because he is a similar player to the others but definitely he will be a great squad addition
426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 09, 2024, 10:58:42 PM
I know Aston Villa are performing well this season but I don't think they will be winning the Premier League this season. It is not that easy. Manchester City is back in their form and Liverpool are looking as sharp as they were at the starting of the season. I think it's about time that Manchester City will take over Aston Villa in the Points table. They dropped a few points recently, losing to a struggling Manchester United. And if they were to win the Premier League, they would not have dropped points there.  Manchester City has 2 points less than them while playing 1 match less.

So basically since Aston Villa couldn’t beat Manchester United they can’t be title contenders? See I don’t also think Aston Villa are ready just yet to win a league due to their squad lacking Talisman and a proper depth but losing to Manchester United shouldn’t be a yard stick to measure that. Manchester City were beaten twice last season by Brentford and yet they won the league comfortably. Aston Villa are off the title race for me because I think with the European competitions they have and with the lack of quality just not too many yet in the squad they wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure.

"without" or "with" ?? I think there's some sort of contradictions there... But it's fine anyways.

For me, I think this should be one of the best seasons for them - Mahrez was actually a junk player in there since he was barely given enough playtime..Maybe for the fact that he's African? Guardiola knows best... But I think having Alvarez and Grealish both paired would improve the effectiveness on the flanks.. it all depends on the formation though - a standard 4-3-3 formation would also link them both, allowing debryune and halland to communicate directly.

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

Mahrez a junk player? He was actually the second highest goal scorer last season after Halaand he had issues with Pep and that’s why he was dropped to the bench. Pep always has that problem that whenever they switch to another player they completely do not give time to the other and that’s why Mahrez left. City last season were better than this current one, they were the likes of Gundogan who can actually influence the game when they come on with their creativity,

I don’t understand what you mean by account number, but yeah username can actually be changed but that depends on the reason for the change because only the administrator Theymos has that capability to do that. So maybe you can write to him for name change but it’s not that easy to get it changed

This whole saga doesn’t just add up to me because whenever bitcoin does well a rumor like this suffices now it’s account hacking? SEC must really be having us on the balls.

You're right. Bayern Munich has 1 unplayed match. If they win the unplayed match, their point will be 41, the point gap is 1 point only. So, actually Bayern Munich is still has a big chance to compete for the title this season. However, Bayern Munich must ensure that they won't miss again 3 points for the next matches. If both Bayern Munich and Leverkusen can play consistently in each match, it will be a tough competition for the title this season. And the next match Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich is probably to be a crucial match to determine which team to be the champion in this season. The match  Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich will be in matchday 21 (February 11, 2024).

Both clubs have made this season Bundesliga a competitive one and also given fans the to watch the league. Bayern Munich have been winning This trophy every year and they don’t want to still hand it over for at least a season, that’s how high their standards his. This season I am supporting Bayer Leverkusen because I want to see a new champion this season and Bayern Munich dominance trample upon. Xabi Alonso and his boys are doing well just that we don’t know how they will start this second half of the season because they need to be in high spirit. The sad news is Boniface is out injured for at least 6 weeks and with what I think the Bayer game against Bayern Munich will have been played already. But I don’t see that game alone as the title decider because games against relegation threaten teams will be tough too and a tricky one. So there are many game that will play out to be a title decider and not necessarily the game between them both

This match looks like a training mode for Manchester United more than a serious game thought.
First, red devils are controlling the game, scored two goals after more than thirty shots fired including more than half targeting the goalie or the bar and half of these being a close call.
Eric Ten Hag could sleep calmly tonight since his team didn't fail and remained in the FA Cup.
A draw has been made before Manchester United game and we have Liverpool facing the winner from Norwich City and Bristol Rovers. Tottenham Hotspur luck ended up being miserable since they will face Manchester City but who knows. Chelsea - Aston Villa and Fulham - Newcastle United will be quite hard games too.

Manchester United should definitely be having this game easy, from the lineup I could even tell you that Manchester United are even in trouble this season because once you see a coach starting his best eleven in a game against a league one side you know they only have that competition to play for.

It’s going to be a tough and competitive fourth round tie with many premier league clubs facing off each other. First is the game between Tottenham and Manchester city, this is a game I think shouldn’t be coming at this time because both look like they will be going all out for this trophy this season. The club that desperately needs to win this game is Tottenham because they do need this cup to help boost there confidence and morale to challenge next season. Manchester city not winning it this year wouldn’t be too challenged. As for Chelsea and Aston Villa, both are teams that needs to go out at each other for the trophy because they need it for confidence test. Aston Villa needs it to help commemorate for their fantastic season while Chelsea needs to help give themselves and the fans hope that they are on the right track
431  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: More reason you should protect your privacy and anonymity as a Bitcoin holder. on: January 08, 2024, 10:13:31 PM

Because as far as I know kyc doesn't mean they have total access to your fund. Rather only makes them control CEX and not DEX. which your total fund can be in decentralized exchange while you can decide to sell the amount you want to sell from sending from Dex to cex for exchange. So I see no total control about that. If I am wrong you correct me about that.

The thing you need to understand here is that bitcoin transactions are stored or recorded publicly on the blockchain as long as it’s an on-chain transaction. So now let’s say you have a CEX which is KYCed and also a DEX where you keep your coins which is entirely bad you don’t keep coins on exchanges but wallets. When you move your coins from either the KYCed centralized exchange to your Decentralized , or even the other way round, with the CEX having your identities it is easier to just connect every transaction from and into that CEX address to you because the transaction is public. This is one of the reasons why even re-use of an address is not advisable because it will just weaken by our privacy.

You may actually be right on saying that am only interested in merit but I want you to understand that everyone in this BTT forum needs merit in other to grow so it shouldn't look as if because my current threads are focused on discussion about merit then it now sounds as if I needed it more than anyone else. I know I'm a newbie and it is important for me to learn and make quality posts before I think of earning merits of which I'm trying my best and if you watch closely I do more of learning and making research before creating threads.

What was said to you was right, it is not as though you are the only one looking for merit but talking about it all the time makes you more desperate than others because even if they are than you they conceal it. If you get to desperate to get those merits you will be looking to get it fast and that could cause you to break some rules. Two of your trades created are actually about merit, this will only get you into ignore list of merits sources that will see your posts as merit fishing post. As advice above just grow in knowledge and things will take its place.
433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 06, 2024, 06:16:47 PM
Let's be Frank, Ten Hag is just too overhyped aside Jose Mourinho and Van Gaal I can't remember any top tier coach United has signed since Fergusen left, just overhyped coach who fails to meet team expectations though Mourinho was better than the other.
Which player did Ten Hag requested for that He didn't get or try to get for him?
Who requested for Onana, Mount, Rasmund and others.

Last season He had issues with Ronaldo, this season Sancho next season we don't know
Aside from injury crisis in which they also struggle to win even when they are fit Ten Hag has no excuse.

The fact is Ten Hag should know his place and let go of some pride so that he will be respected by team while the players needs to have their trophy winning mentality which they have lost for over a decade now, I don't really think Ten Hag can help in this area but Man United can give a shot and see how the perform next season.

I wouldn’t call him overhype but rather the expectations were just too much on him. Ten Hag guided Ajax to many league tittle and cup wins, not to talk of some special champions nights. You people will argue that Ajax is a small club or the Dutch league is a farmers league but look at how Ajax has turned out since Ten Hag left the club.

I will mention players for, he wanted Kim Min Jae and he never got that, he wanted De Jong and the club signed Mount instead. He did wanted Onana and Hojlund and to be fair both will get better with time.

Ten Hag had issues with Ronaldo and Sancho no problem is there any manager that doesn’t have problems with big players. The two coaches you mentioned above did had problems with numerous players and what did the club did then they trusted those players and they club is still in same position up till today. Ferguson once said that a player that thinks he is bigger than the manager doesn’t belong to the club
434  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Amount of BTC lost over time? on: January 06, 2024, 01:46:32 PM
Maybe I'll rephrase the question here

Having a current predicton with the most accuracy is not the point here.
Also what is lost and what is not is yet another discussion.

I'm looking for historical data like this:

2013: 3.4M BTC estimated to be lost
2014: 4.1M BTC estimated to be lost
2015: 4.3M... etc.

This data just like everyone has said above will be hard to get even an estimate. The coins that one can confidently say are lost are the ones sent to a burner address and the reward for genesis block. Even those address are a thing to get hold on, because they are different and plenty of those addresses currently. A thread here was once created for burner addresses and it is not active again. So this seriously a huge task to combine those addresses.

One thing I am certain of is the number lost bitcoins yearly will certainly be reducing as move on because back in the early days when bitcoin wasn’t that expensive was the reason why lost bitcoin was common. Right now people take their bitcoin security seriously and one can hardly lose or burn his bitcoin this days except if they got hack which is not lost or forgotten private key which can still be recovered of the private key is later been found
435  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Does inactive users deserve merits? on: January 06, 2024, 09:07:39 AM

You almost have same reasoning with me because sometimes I use to wonder why giving a merit to a good and quality posts of a user who have been inactive for a long time like close to or over a decade now, like whats the need for? When we know truly well that such a user may have either lost access to the account or may be dead? Like what's the essence

That’s simply because you are not acknowledging the said person but actually the post. Merit is sent to a post you found that helped you it doesn’t matter if the account is inactive, you aren’t sure if they must have lost their password. Smerits are not even money that we will say you are wasting it, although one can limits the amount they send to inactive accounts.

This is actually a good question to bring up, I believe there is nothing wrong in giving merit to a post or thread that is actually giving good impact for the community, even if the Original Poster has been inactive. But there will be a problem when they decided to sell their account, I know it seems out of topic, but I think an inactive have more possibility to sell their account than the active user. And I believe there are some cases where a very reputable member of this forum that has been inactive for sometimes and keep getting merit from their post in those period, and one day they just sell their account.

That still doesn’t change anything you were actually meriting the post and not the person. If the account gets sold later the difference will certainly be clear because the post quality will reduce drastically and if substantial informations are found although it is not against the forum rule the account will get tagged by some members and that actually defeats the purpose why the buyer bought it and also the merit earn will be useless. So nothing much in it.

The current team with which the Tottenham Hotspur coach is using to play should not be written off because the only player that is absent from the squad is their star man Son Heung-min, and he would have played in this game if not that he had already gone for National duties to represent his country in the upcoming Asian cup. Then they also have Sarr who has gone for the African cup of Nations. No goals at halftime, so the game is not so easy for Tottenham, Burnley may still be able to win.


I don’t seriously blame Ange Postecoglu for this strong line up this is not a regular FA cup meeting with some lower division clubs but against a premier league opponent like them as such they will treat the game as serious as the league itself. If I am Tottenham manager i will actually hold a strong grip on this competition and look towards winning it. Tottenham have been never won any competitive trophy for ages now and it is turning into a thing of mediocrity and much banter. If Postecoglu can get this trophy on his first season it will not only be massive for the club but will also be a big building bridge for him to actually lay a foundation for the club on. If he manages to win a cup this season and probably get an European competitions qualification then the players will be optimistic for the season to come.

This liquidation actually happen on the 3rd January when the bitcoin price had a heavy fall from $45k to $40k within few hours due to the rumor that bitcoin ETF will be rejected. The largest single liquidation order was actually reported to have happen on houbi BTC-USDT which was valued at $14.26M. The major thing that I think affected most of this traders that got liquidated was as that they had too much confidence on the market pumping with many going for long trade and forget to set a stop loss.

This cases are mostly common with newbies although even experienced traders got affected to. As for the newbies, one of the most secure thing is to just invest in to bitcoin and then hold for a long time, this is less risky than jumping into trading without proper knowledge

Which recovery phase?, If you see a team that is playing for performance improvement you would know, Manchester United is very far away from playing to recover. Last season's performance that gave them the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League competition is even much better than their performance this very season. With Erik ten Hag as still the Man Utd's head coach, nothing would change even now or in the future.

This is a very bold statement which I don’t agree with. From your statement that last season’s performance weren’t bad so that means Ten Hag and his team has a thing in their sleeves. If we analyze it properly all Manchester United appointed mangers have actually have a very poor second season at the club after a very good first one. This means that the problem isn’t entirely base on the manager alone but also the club hierarchy too. They have failed to support each manager with the signings that they require and this can actually affect the manager plans.

With the injuries surrounding this team currently I will trust Ten Hag till at least the end of the season. If he can actually get them a trophy in his first season and qualify them to the champions league them I will say he can actually make them bounce back again

Nice thread mate, one thing I will add is one needs to avoid greed, some newbie traders sometimes get too greedy that they so much trust their analysis and end up either putting too much funds on a trade or do not know when to apply a break even point or even take partials. Greed can also be associated to the reason why most people rush trading lessons or class and jump on trading themselves.

It is 1-0, against Barca in Estadio de Gran Canaria. Las Palmas had an early goal in the first 12th minutes of the game to take the lead and since then Barca have being finding it difficult to equalize the goal. Barca defense is porous and Xavi needs to do something about this. Palmas is a weak club and they are not as strong as Barca, so I believe that Barca will have a welcome back in the second half. Barca needs to win this match because they are on the 5th position with 10points behind Real Madrid and Girona. This is a very bad season for Barca as they are struggling with their matches, unlike like them. Munir El Haddad was the player that was able to find the back of the net within 12 minutes.

The game is still early, there is likelihood that Barca can do a comeback with enough time still left to play but the problem is Las Plamas themselves have been great this season and currently occupy the eight position on the table which will make it a task for Barca to turn it around. Barcelona on the hand should they lose this game will have a huge mountain to climb to win the tittle this year. A Loss today will mean a 10 point gap between the Leaders Madrid and them, although it is not right to rule them out just yet but that will be a comeback to do. Barcelona scar now isn’t even about losing the league alone but the qualification places for champions league is also under a threat and teams up are actually doing well. Barcelona need to start the year on high note by getting a good result.
