congrats to @LTU_btc for the Yellow Cap and for taking the lead after the first round
Thnaks! Actually, this round was terrible for me in betting, so I'm surprised that I managed to get yellow cap.

Well I'm only the yellow cap until LTU joins the league. Can people make sure they're in the right group? I PM'd you the link to join it. The other group will be deleted as it was the only way to message the old group members.
Oh, I didn't knew that I'm in wrong league. I think I joined league, which link I got on PM here. Now I'm on right league.

City - Porto game was ruined by referee. First, there was incorrect penalty given because there was foul agsinst Porto goalkeeper. Then, free kick when Gundogan scored - where there was foul!? Yeah, City was stronger today, but these referee decision left bad taste in mouth.
Bayern continue to destroy everything in their road. Even Atletico with their legendary defence had no chances today.
Inter - Borussia M. We had late drama here when Lukaku only managed to equalise score on 90 minute. Situation after 1st round in this group looks very interesting.
I expected that Atalanta can score a lot and they did it. Easy 4:0 win.
Ajax 0:1 Liverpool. Well, I expected something more from this game than just 1 goal scored. Haven't watched it, but seems it was tough game for LFC.

Wtf is going on Cheesy. Shakhtar is leading 3:0 and they are actually playing better. Real defence looked so pathetic in first half. I just remind that Shakhtar don't have 9 players because of Covid-19. And it's key players like Taison, Junior Moraes, Stepanenko and others. But it looks like Real affected by virus. Maybe they minds were on upcoming El Clasico.
Edit 1:3.
4364  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: October 21, 2020, 04:30:44 PM
Early games doesn't looks very interesting. I doubt that Real will have problems against Shakhtar. Currently Shakhtar aren't playing very well even in Ukrainian league where actually they don't have many strong opponents.
I think that Salzburg will win against Lokomotiv confident.
I'm backing Atalanta today, they will try to recover after huge loss to Napoli. It's possible to see many goals there because both teams good in attack.
Despite that Liverpool will play without Van Dijk, I expect them to win. It should be good game to watch. I also back Inter to win.
I'm definitely going to watch Bayern - Atletico. Two teams which play completely opposite style of football. One of the best attacking teams against one of the best defence. I don't know what expect from this game. But I'm not going to bet on Bayern tonight.
4365  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: October 20, 2020, 08:57:18 PM
I saw someone had bet on MU win. Congrats! I don't have such big balls to bet on them Cheesy.
Barca achieved big easy win as expected, it was nice to see performance of our youngsters and Messi. But still, Pique managed to get red card and will have to miss game against Juventus.
Lazio win against Borussia is something unexpected for me, but probably can't call it as big surprise.
Chelsea - Sevilla game was big disappointment for me. I expected something more from these teams.
4366  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BitcoinNews.com's UEFA Champions League Football Preditor Pool Discussion thread on: October 20, 2020, 07:58:01 PM
I didn't check the odds before the match but Brugge weren't the favourites were they?
I saw 3.45 odds for Brugge win before the game. I had Zenit win in my mind, but fortunately, I decided to skip this game. If stats don't lie, it shows that two equal teams played there.

Hope this thread gets noticed by last season's players. Only 5 so far in the pool.
5? I see 11 players. But it's pity to see very few of us playing.
4367  Economy / Reputation / Re: [Interviews] with Bitcointalk members on: October 20, 2020, 04:59:11 PM
Thank you @zasad@ for inviting me for an interview.
1. When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies?
Somewhere in the end of 2014 and start of 2015. Damn, didn't realized that's almost 6 yers when I'm in Bitcoin world. Actually, I heard about previously, but then I was very sceptical about it and haven't looked deeper into it.
2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?
Can't say when exactly, maybe in 2016 or even 2017. In my early time in crypto world I accumulated most of my Bitcoins through faucets, so I didn't had to invest money from my pocket. Yeah, right, faucets, back then it was possible to get decent earnings through faucets. Though, Bitcoin was worth just about $200 back then, so I had to hold it with some patience.
3. How did you get on the forum?
Through Google. I've been looking for faucets on various websites and found Bitcointalk. Micro earnings board was great place for faucets. Actually, I used forum for a while without having account. Only later I started to promote my own faucet list there. But I was a bit afraid to post in other sections because my knowledge was still very limited. I thought that if I will post something wrong, experienced members may mock me. Fortunately, it didn't happened.
4.1. What prevents mass adoption of cryptocurrencies?
There is several main reasons why. First, banks and most of governements aren't looking into cryptocurrencies positively. Price vulnerability is big factor too, most people keep crypto as investment asset, not currency. How many of us actually spending our Bitcoins daily? And last, I think that fiat and all forms of it (digital and cash) is still more convenient and suitable form of money.
4.2. How do you think mass advertising of gambling projects has a positive effect on the development of the forum or harms the community?
Well, I'm biased because I have signature of gambling website on my profile. I think that for forum development it don't have positive effect. But I don't see big difference between advertising of gambling websites, mixers, exchanges and other projects. Gambling is one of fastest growing industries (not just in crypto0, so, nothing surprising to see many gambling ads here. But I think that on every advertisement there should be little warning about potential risks of gambling. Same like we see warnings on alcochol ads.
4.3. How do you consider whether 2-3 years of experience in cryptocurrency is enough to successfully invest or does an investor need to receive special education?
It depends what you've benn doing these 2-3 years. For example, if you just spammed here for signature campaigns, it's not enough obviously. But if you read a lot, gained much knowledge, I think it's enough. While special education doesn't guarantee success.
5. What do you think of the current Merit system and signature campaigns?  Do they harm the forum?
I think that Merit system is one of best things which happened in Bitcointalk in recent years. But, honestly, signature campaigns harm forum, there is so many posts which are obviously made just for signature campaign. User without signature probably wouldn't post it. Though, signature campaigns motivate good users to make quality content and best example of it is Chipmixer campaign.
6. The most useful forum topic? Most helpful users?
There is so many helpful users, so it would be difficult to mention them all. It's LoyceV, DdmrDdmr, Vod who made BPIP and ibminer and suchmoon who continue working on this great website.
7. 3 things you would implement on the forum?
There is so many suggestions given in all these years, so it would be difficult to pick 3 main things. Probably main thing would be 2FA. Then maybe notification on quotes.
8. Do you trade on exchanges or invest in projects?
I trade a bit, but can't call myself as trader.
9. Tell a story about your big profit or big loss?
Nothing unique. I invested in several ICO's which looked very solid, but obviously my investement was not successful
10. What do you think about the DEFI ecosystem?
Honestl, I don't know enough about it to have opinion
11. Is your anonymity a vital necessity or precaution?
For me it's more precaution. I'm not afraid too much about my privacy, but I'm trying to avoid things like KYC and giving my personal data on random websites. But it's difficult to stay anonymous when we have smartphones who knows everything about us. Though, sometimes it's vital necessity, for example if you live in country where crypto is illegal.
12. The last cryptocurrency book you read?
I haven't read such books. I prefer reading articles, maybe listening to podcasts sometimes.
13. Advise 3 cryptocurrencies/tokens for investment in the next 1-2 years?
IMO, focus on what was already proven by time. Bitcoin must be main part of your portfolio. Then maybe Ethereum. And maybe Binance coin.
14. How much will Bitcoin cost at the end of 2020?
About $12 000. I doubt that price will change much into positive or negative side.
15. P.S. (Optional)
Thanks again for letting me to share my thoughts. It was interesting to read other interviews too. Stay safe everyone during these crazy times!
4368  Other / Archival / Re: [BIG LIST] Hardware wallets (80+) on: October 19, 2020, 09:05:18 PM
Wow, very impressive list. I thought that there is maybe 15-20 hardware wallets in the market, I haven't heard many of these names before. I'm not sure how did you managed to find all these wallets. Though, I'm not sure that all these things can be called as hardware wallet, but still, it's good to have everything collected in single place.
What is also impressive is price of some hardware wallets. $500 or even $1000 for hardware wallet, well, it should be masterpiece for such price.
Also, I want to suggest avoid Bitfi wallet, which claim to unhackable, but in reality it's unsafe.
And, I think you should update about Ledger Blue - they aren't selling it anymore. Though, maybe it's still available on resellers stores.
4369  Economy / Reputation / Re: Goodbye, world! on: October 19, 2020, 07:54:15 PM
Goodbye, Lauda! Despite that your account is banned, I believe that you're going to check what's going on there. It's good that protected account from being used in scams later, like happened with one of Bruno accounts.
I'm not sure what to say. You can love or hate Lauda, but it's fact that their contribution to Bitcointalk is huge.
I remember when few years ago almost every topic on Meta and Reputation was about Lauda with so much drama. I miss these times...
4370  Other / Meta / Re: Embedding youtube videos on the forum. - why not? on: October 19, 2020, 07:34:59 PM
I hope this will never be implemented. It will be a real nuisance, especially if the quoting dick heads start nesting them in their quotes.
I'm not against OP suggestion, this feature is convenient thing if used properly. But probably it wouldn't work well on Bitcointalk because many users aren't following posting etiquette. Members who are here for long time (Hero, Legendary members) making pyramid quotes, it's common thing unfortunately. So, theyvwould probably abuse such feature as well.
On other forums embedding Youtube videos, tweets and etc is useful thing. It's convenient to watch content without leaving forum.
4371  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: BitcoinTalk's 2020 Champions League Pool Sign Up Thread £25 in bitcoin to join on: October 19, 2020, 07:21:14 PM
I also prefer paid pool, even if there will be just 10 of us. It's just more interesting and exciting. But offcourse, I would still play if pool will be free.
4372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: October 19, 2020, 07:17:53 PM
Finally Champions league is back. Offcourse I'm going to watch Barca game tomorrow, I think it's good to get easy opponent like Ferencvaros for first round.
Chelsea - Sevilla should be a great game. I'm a bit surprised that these teams never played against each other.
Lazio - Borussia looks interesting. I'm probably going to back Dortmund. Also, I'll bet on PSG win.
4373  Other / Meta / Re: Upcoming Bitcointalk.org Anniversary. on: October 18, 2020, 08:10:59 PM
Well, 10th anniversary art contest was something crazy. Many members showed how creative they are and created amazing artworks. On the other hand, there was so much shit and abuse. Nothing surprising, people were attracted by easy opportunity to get merit. And I'm actually not sure that theymos was happy that he made so much work for himself. I think it wasn't easy to get through all works and award so many merit Cheesy
11th Bitcointalk birthday probably should be celebrated too somehow, but obviously not as big as 10th. IMO, repeating such contest again would be boring, we need something new. Maybe it's too early, but we can start to think how 15th or 20th anniversary should be celebrated Cheesy.
4374  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beware of fixed matches offer - member wbet7pending! on: October 18, 2020, 07:53:04 PM
I haven't received such message so far. No offence, but if someone here believes that he can buy fixed games from random guy on forum, he is just stupid. I'm not sure how many buyers these fixed games sellers get here, but I hope that Bitcointalk members aren't stupid to fall into such obvious scam.

Participating in things like these can get you in legal trouble if you're caught.
I doubt about it. Biggest problem that you may get there is loss of money and feeding scammer. Other thing would be if these games actually would be fixed. Though, I'm not sure that buyers of fixed games are punished for it. I think that mainly people behind this and players involved in fixed games would be in big problem if they're caught.
4375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: October 18, 2020, 07:19:06 PM
Tottenham with the biggest choke so far this season, wtf happened ? 3 goals in 10 minutes, I was literally happy and thought the first West Ham goal would be the last for the match, little did I know.

But meh, look at the last a goal, what a goal and what a way to complete a 3-goal equaliser 😳
I didn't watched the game, but had notifications on Flashscore. When West Ham scored first goal, I thought "cool, I will get first exact score on this round finally". But end of game was completely crazy. This season is simply unbeleavable.
On the way to wooden spoon this round Cheesy.
4376  Economy / Services / Re: Help the Homeless animals!! Urgent adoption needed !! on: October 18, 2020, 01:32:02 PM
This is just my opinion, so don't be offended:
Animals should be in nature and not arrested and abused by human.
The more you support this sick mind set of domesticate animals, the more you support that what are you fighting against right now.

Offcourse, it's your opinion, but I think you're completely wrong. Cats and dogs were domesticated few thousands years ago. What you're offering to do now? Just let them to live in nature and ignore all homeless animals? Cats and dogs aren't wild animals, they wouldn't survive in the nature. Also, homeless animals cause problems, they spread diseases and growth of their population isn't controlled.
4377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ BitcoinPRBuzz.com's ⚽ Italian Serie A ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread on: October 17, 2020, 09:35:46 PM
I managed to get 1 point overall in the three pools I am participating Roll Eyes
Me too. At least I'm not the only one who performed so shitty today. Well, maybe Napoli win over Atalanta wasn't huge surprise. It's more surprising how did they won it.
And I remember that I had fears when Zlatan moved to Milan that he is already too old for such high level and that it will be big disappointment. But I'm so happy that I was wrong.
4378  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: October 17, 2020, 09:09:59 PM
And now Barca lost to Getafe. Well, I guess such results is outcome of international break. I didn't watched Real - Cadiz game, but in Barca game there was huge lack of quality, many wrong passes and very few dangerous attacks. I think there was only one thing worse than our game today - it's third kit of Barcelona, it looks so ugly for me, juat terrible combination of colors.
And Cadiz are playing hreat on away games - 3 wins and 0 goals conceded. Not bad for team promoted from second division.
4379  Other / Off-topic / Re: Banned Horror Movies (do not watch) on: October 16, 2020, 10:34:01 PM
FYI, both movies I mentioned are not horror movies, they are like extreme fantasy adult crime movies, I don't know which genre these movies will fit into. I don't think these movies are available on Netflix or other streaming websites, I guess torrent is the only way to download these movies.
[/quote]
You're probably right, I called it horror movies like OP did without going deep into details. And yeah, probably we won't find these movies on Netflix, though I found Serbian film on Amazon Prime, but it's not available in my location, despite that movie isn't banned in my country. I think other movies mentioned in OP is also available on some platforms.
4380  Other / Off-topic / Re: Banned Horror Movies (do not watch) on: October 15, 2020, 10:58:22 PM
When someone says "don't watch it", offcourse it cause opposite reaction and I really want to watch some of these movies. Forbidden fruit is tastier Cheesy. Could you share Netflix links to these movies lol?
I heard about a Serbian film before, but haven't tried to watch. Most of popular horror movies is such predictable and boring that I don't even watch it. Maybe some of these movies would leave shocking experience for me.
Personally, I'm against censorship, so in general movies shouldn't be banned. But probably it shouldn't be easy accesible for everyone. Not everyone can watch such kind of movies.
It's like Hitler's book Mein Kampf, it would be very interesting for me to read this book, but there is no translation to my language of it.
