So I count 6 including myself, I had a good run even though didn't win last one but I can't play all the leagues and not play this one!

Should be a great CL season, starting with cracking game between Barca and Bayern tonight. Don't know why but those evening CL matches have a special appeal to me, there is just something special when you see that CL logo Smiley

Weird but also for me, even though it means I have either to stay up very very late, or wake up very very early. And hope I'm not working night shift (which I am not this week).

It's special to watch these games when everyone here is asleep. As long as there is not a big English game other places or Real, for some reason Barca is a second Spanish favorite here:)

I see 2 scenarios happening, most likely won't happen until Oct/Nov because Sept is usually a bearish/neutral month.

If Bitcoin doesn't close below $40K on the weekly, I see if breaking the ATH and maybe going to like $75K or so in late 2021.

Actually, if we are being honest to look at the entire year so far none of it has looked like any year before, so I don't think we can even talk about monthly patterns now, just something else different.

75k ATH is not going to look good overall however, so most people might say this is the end if that's so. All the more better for us to get in;)

Speaking of injuries, Braithwaite will going under surgery for his left knee. He will be out for at least 3-4 months, that's a big blow for Barcelona. Now all pressure is over Memphis. Fati, Agüero and Dembele faced similar things, Barcelona can't play injury-free players, we couldn't see an ideal eleven without any injuries yet.

It's a big nightmare scenario for us all at Barca. Fati is still not yet 100% as he needs full match fitness, and now Braithwaite will need at least until February and then also match fit maybe March. So we now need to make sure we somehow are not so far out of top 4 and still past Champions League group stage and get our youth playing at the end of season.

Well done indeed to you and also slaman29 for getting top points shared with you. Have never been this long at or near to the top myself, but definitely, going with the favourites has proven an effective strategy as when there are upsets like at Spurs no one else gets it anyway.

Thank you, you know this is not even really my league, but you also know in La Liga I am doing very badly, so it is a little small shame for me. But EPL is like DIA7 says. Just put the same "safe" score for the big teams and they are more consistent than in other leagues. Last season I tried many draws instead of total upsets like a few of you do and it didn't do well.

Winning my Barca bet when the match plays hehe, but no, I also didn't catch the Valencia upset, but I think more sad that Real Madrid Celta busted the Blackjack, by one point. So close!

Anyway, no real surprises. Somehow Atletico winning in injury time is almost something you expect from them now:)
4346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: September 11, 2021, 03:12:14 PM
But I'm sure there will be several teams that are candidates for LaLiga champions and not only dominated by 3 clubs, the movement this season seems a little different and will be more competitive with other teams.
Although now LaLiga is not as interesting as it used to be when there were Ronaldo and Messi waiting for the El Classico match.

Some people are racking up Sevilla to be a contender but let's not pretend with ourselves right now. Even if a team from an outsider range wins it, it won't be lasting. They'll be bought off and picked off by the other teams unless they find a way to sustain themselves and force an identity the way these 3 current teams are.
4347  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: yesterday's drop in prices, was it natural or man made? on: September 10, 2021, 01:20:38 PM
It was a natural disaster. Just like earthquakes. It is all technical analysis. Markets go up, markets go down. Sometimes they make corrections. I believe yesterday was a correction. The fundamentals are still strong. Now El Salvador has adopted bitcoin fully, I'd say there is no reason to afraid of pretty much anything.

Haha, I would never have thought to use the term natural disaster but I think I call this natural weather. 10% drops in crypto is like regular and normal occurrence for me, not disasters, and for sure not disaster for everyone.

But maybe you have a point since all over the world people live with natural disasters like regular thing, so crypto market people should also regard these corrections in the same way.

It's not the safest if you don't want to get linked, at least that's the way to mask your real transaction a bit so no questions will be thrown to you. Yes, the fees now are very cheap, you can make transactions more if you want. For gamblers who really want to ensure their privacy or hide the origin of transactions, then it's wise to use a bitcoin mixer, I'm sure the regulators will have a hard time tracing your transactions if you ever get investigated.

Well, most gamblers these days who're concerned about privacy will just use anon-casinos or just spread their betting on a lot of places.

Mixers are always good for privacy, but also depending on the size and tech of the mixer. Currently I think only chipmixer is the one that has the best privacy but personally never tried it as well.

For me though if you gamble and owe taxes, better to pay up.

Hey OP I have been finding your latest posts about Bitcoin tying in to various things totally out of this world actually;)

I think your initial posts were interesting but more and more I think I have to disagree with you about how Bitcoin is related to a lot of big questions that probably will never get answered for 100s more years, such as this last question. Even blockchain is all about timechains and not able to reverse that;)
4350  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Did you profit from the dip on: September 10, 2021, 09:51:03 AM
It's actually very encouraging to see that price hasn't gone into a volatile swing after that crash, instead looks like again is consolidating, so this time we might see another long upward month into 55k.

I don't trade so I didn't profit but earning BTC during the dip also counts, right? Smiley
4351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: September 10, 2021, 09:17:17 AM
I can't remember which world cup Qualifier was it (probably 2014), Czech ranked #2 in the world cup Qualifier match, they performed very well but they got out of the tournament at the group stage. I don’t think they are going to defeat Wales. Wales will dominate the match; at least a tidy match & probably a narrow win.

If you think about it, not every team that reaches the final did well in group stages. In fact, very seldom do you see a final where the team that got there got perfect in group stages. My theory is that if you have a really tough time in group, you don't get overconfident in the KO stages. Look at England having really narrow 1-0 wins and still looking quite wobbly.
4352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Spanish La Liga ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread on: September 10, 2021, 09:05:40 AM
it is postponed, where there is time usually in Superbru, it said postponed, as well as Villarreal match, that is postponed as well
there is not much to see this weekend, Real is playing home against Celta, could be tough, but win should be certain, and Atletico is playing in Barcelona, with smaller city rival Espanyol, that is still score-less this season, but now have conceived one goal from Mallorca, so I do not expect goals there

from other matches, cannot wait Monday, for Maximiano to hopefully debut on Granada goal, so do not expect goals there as well

Yup I don't see any surprises on this rather quiet weekend, with the big games postponed, but I wonder if Iago Aspas is still fired up, if he finds his way to score again than maybe we have that upset, but then I'm not ready to go against Real especially when my league position is so bad now! I don't think La Liga will even make it to Soccer Blackjack;)
4353  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Interview session with store owner accepting bitcoin... on: September 10, 2021, 07:42:40 AM
The pain point for merchants, as he answered in his question about risk-free is how he stores value.

Store owner is actually just a middle point between the retailers he buys from and anyone who runs a store knows he gets his items all stocked from credit. So let's say every month he has a credit from the retailers on food etc at $1000. Which at the end of the month he has to pay back $1000 plus whatever interest.

But if he accepts Bitcoin he has to constantly be aware of his line of credit and repayments. A bad crash can wipe out a business, hence their desire to protect in stablecoin, not the assets, but the value.
4354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Good News: Ukraine has legalized Bitcoin on: September 10, 2021, 07:06:20 AM
Sorry to break the news to you friend, but Ukraine had never made Bitcoin illegal. Even before this law had passed, no one was going to get caught or prosecuted and sent to jail or fined for using/trading Bitcoin.

The only thing this law does is regulate crypto, which can be good for business, but the restrictions also limit the use of it for other than purposes defined.
at least there is a clear development in the ukraine state after the regulation is passed. thus the use of bitcoin is not an illegal activity, so that the people there can carry out activities according to predetermined limits. on the other hand, this hopefully will be an example for other countries to make clearer regulations so that bitcoin will be increasingly adopted mass

Yes, of course, clarity is always a good thing, but any lawyer or legal professional usually can tell you that a lack of clarity actually helps you on the defence. Which means, if there is no law saying that what you're doing about crypto is illegal, then by definition it is legal.

Which is why all the India drama about banks closing crypto accounts was finally overturned in the Supreme Court:)

Brazil are being petty AF, embarrassing behaviour by them to be honest. Puts us (LFC) in a crappy situation ahead of a tough away game against Leeds. Oh well, they’ll be missing Raphinha who is a good player. I think the sanction is a 3-0 loss if a team plays an ineligible player. Not sure how they’d punish both teams in that situation.

It’ll be interesting to see how this develops. I imagine all the PL clubs will cooperate to try & fight this. Brazil is on the red list for UK travellers so I think there could be a legal case to fight this.

This was so ridiculous. I'm not even a Liverpool fan but this was a petty thing to punish the team. Remember the Brazil Argentina game where the officials just came on to the pitch to arrest Argentinian players? That sort of avoidable drama was just what they wanted and for sure even planned the entire time all along.

English FA is united so let's hope they just deny FIFA and show their unity.

Guys, tell me where do you best view post-match statistics?

I use Google for simple one but you check on the official website for stats but they come late. You can check Google real time or another newspaper that uses live update feed.

4357  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: yesterday's drop in prices, was it natural or man made? on: September 09, 2021, 03:43:10 PM
Actually 07 September We have lost a lot in the way the market has been dumped. I was in Future Trading at the time and I lost a lot and got liquidated.In fact, all the markets are dumping without any bad news.As far as I know, there was good news everywhere. Even after that the market has been dumping so much that we have cried a lot. But I don't think it's made from bad news.And it is not natural for the market to be so dumped.

Nah, it's fine. 10%+ dumps and pumps are all part of the journey and was probably long delayed already. The good news is the dump didn't push a further dump and 45k although broken was quickly mended and looks like the strong support it has been for weeks.

I didn't cry at all in this dump:)
4358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [WARNING!] For gamblers using coins.ph on: September 09, 2021, 01:15:43 PM
As suggested by some members here, use this kind of format when gambling.

exchange - electrum - gambling site.
gambling site - electrum - exchange.

The strategy is time-consuming and you also have to pay more charges on transaction fees, but that kind of flow makes your account safer against the rules for illegal gambling activities.

It's really not time consuming actually, especially these days when fees are 1 satoshi only (not that it matters w/d from an exchange). But yes, from an exchange especially, always send to your own wallet because they will sometimes ask for proof of ownership (which is easy to do with screenshot or signed).

I would even not link immediately the same input from gambling - electrum - exchange
4359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 7th September 2021 Bitcoin becomes legal tender first in history on: September 09, 2021, 09:22:58 AM
Alas! Bitcoin has been officially accepted as legal tender now in El Salvador. They managed to push through with their initial plan which is to implement it by now and that means success on their end. However, you must know that El Salvador isn't really a well-developed and powerful country unlike that of the US and China which means it will not really have an effect on the market trend. Unlike when such a brave move comes from the developed countries, you will see a positive correlation in an instant and vice-versa. Although this is still a good thing to celebrate - bitcoin is being slowly adopted by the countries which means we're taking a positive path right there. Hopefully, there would be more countries to follow such initiatives made.

But why the "Alas!"? I mean, I myself have said before this El Salvador news is cool and nice, but I doubt it's the magic bullet everyone was hoping it'd be. I can't see why anyone in Bitcoin would think it's a bad thing. True, it's not as developed as US or any other 1st world country. I know as my original country is probably as bad or worse.

But it can't be bad at all to have the opportunity one day to pick it up in your own country, to buy it from ATMs all around, and to even have a small amount of BTC to start off with. $30 in many countries is a month's worth of salary!
4360  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading skills on: September 09, 2021, 09:01:34 AM
People looking for altcoins that could make them rich. Research and worry no more.
That is only available in the bull runs. If you are doing a bull run and making a profit then you will be fine. However if you do not know what you are doing and unsure if you will be in a bull run then you will end up with a lot of loss. I personally made a lot of money during bull runs and lost a lot of money during bear runs, all of that happened each time prices moved up and down, I tend to not sell so I didn't take much profit and didn't take much loss neither.

However at the end of the day, we are in a situation where making a profit is something we should be more than comfortable with, it is not only depending on bull runs, it is a lot easier and everyone makes a profit when it is bull run, but on sideway days you could still make some profit too.

Like what I was saying much earlier in this thread. People get into trading. They happen to enter during a bullrun (like 2017 or like from end of 2020). So everything in crypto rises. And traders, they get tricked into thinking that everything their touches turns to gold. They think their strategies work. They think they're smart and their research is solid.

Then they get in deeper, commit more capital. Instead of taking profits and protecting it they go in deeper.

Crypto winter comes. Tears and whining.
