Bad news. It's not fun to read about disagreement. Cobra is mysterious person and I don't have big trust in him. Especially after these tweets mentioned above in past. It's bad that theymos don't have control of Bitcoin.org... Cobra shown his plan to sell the bitcoin.org and Roger Ver popped up to make a bid. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) And it would be disaster. We already lost Bitcoin.com and it have very big roll in misleading people. What if Bitcoin.org would appear in Ver hands too? Now Bitcoin.org is one of first websites visited by people when they enter word "Bitcoin" in Google search and where they can get unbiased, non-commercial information about Bitcoin. It works almost like official website of Bitcoin.

Such websites still exists, but obviously, best time of it is already in past. And it's not about just Bitcoin websites, but all these kind of websites in general. Time is changing and such earning methods becomes obsolete. Before I started to use Bitcoin, I used lot of PTC, Surfing and similar websites and I earned my first money online there. It was good for me as beginner, but in general, it's not the best way to make money. So, less people is interested in it. I think this type of websites were seriously hit by bounties few years ago. It was much more profitable than various PTC and it was possible to earn good money from bounties, so people just switched there. And despite that bounties is shit nowadays, people don't look back at PTC's. I think we can add faucets in same order with your mentioned websites. Yes, there is still many faucets online, but it's waste of time now and you hardly can make money from it. While few years ago it was possible to earn decent money from faucets without struggling

Shouldn't Draw be the winner for the FA Cup match between Manchester United and Norwich City?
It was 1-1 FT and Man U scored the winning goal in extra time
Yes, it should be draw. If match goes to extra time or penalties, on all bookmakers it counts as draw. Did Freebitco.in awarded win to these who had bet on MU win? yes they counted Man U as the winner. I'm still trying to understand why If they were just going to award the winner then it's highly misleading to make the draw an option. There can't possibly be a draw if extra time and/or penalties are going to count At the very least I think they should refund anyone who bet the draw but I still feel like I should have won that. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Indeed, it's strange. @TheQuin, maybe you can tell something about this situation? Maybe they count match winner with extra time included, but I doubt about it. Just saying, yesterday, Freebitcoin suspended my account, while i made several deposits before, accusing me to cheating and creating multi accounts. (my referrals, i guess) (I believe they are suspended too) so be aware, never make a deposit and be sure with your referals.
Yeah, they banned you just to steal some Satoshi from your account... They are usually banning accounts without any reason when user did nothing wrong. *Sarcasm

Tonight is crucial game for us. Loss or draw would mean that we have no real chances to become champions. I'm worried before the game, Atletico looks good after quarantine, though they achieve difficult wins in their usual style. On the other hand, we are really good at home this season, lost just 2 points in total so far. In other game, Mallorca is trashing Celta 5:1 at 65 minute. Did anyone expected this, especially after last Celta game with Barca? Just checked my bookie and saw Barcelona to WIN @1.89!! wut? ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) when was the last time you saw such odds for Barca? Week ago when we played with Sevilla ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .

Has anyone noticed Bitcoin logo on advertisements boards in stadium? It's Etoro advertisement if I'm not mistaken. So, seems that Watford isn't only team in EPL which have Bitcoin related sponsor ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . I have seen it many times during the season even before the Corona break. I believe it isn't a sponsor of some club but a commercial which gets shown on the boards during different games. Yeah, I remember that I saw ads of few crypto exchanges before pandemy, but can't recall their names. But if we talk about Etoro, they are sponsors of Crystal Palace: https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2019/august/palace-renew-terms-with-etoro2/Anyway, it's good to see that Bitcoin getting significant exposure during EPL games.

Strange that Ayew didn't god red card (even yellow) for his elbow punch.

I heard about BlockFi, but haven't tried to use it. 8.5% interest doesn't sounds bad, but there is few reasons why I'm staying away from lending platforms. First, yeah, they looking reputable, but I'm not going to trust big number of my BTC to third party website where I don't have full control of my coins. Offcourse, you can invest small amount of BTC, but it's just not worth, because profit will be insignificant while same risks remain. And KYC requirements is another reason. As I understand, BlockFi requires KYC and I don't really want to pass in order to lend my money. I thought about lending my BTC here on Bitcointalk. But I'm afraid to be scammed and forgot about such idea.

Bitpay's days are numbered, wouldn't you agree?
I'd love if it would be true, because IMO Bitpay is worst payment service, but it's not going to happen soon I think. Bitpay is very popular and if so many people use them, probably it means that they are satisfied with it. And I think that other services like Coinpayments or Coingate isn't bad at all. BTCpayServer is great decentralized alternative, but it's not well known. And they don't have deep pockets for marketing like their competitors. And probably it's not for everyone. Running full node, converting Bitcoins to fiat - it's extra hassle. While most businnes prefer simplicity and convenience.

It would be good if they close whole Bitcoin.com, not just forum. It's described as one of most popular crypto forums, but c'mon, look at it, it looks like ghost forum with minimal activity there. It's not popular at all, so probably there is not many reasons for Ver to keep it. They will focus on other platforms to promote BCH. Though, Ver said that this message was posted without his consent and they aren't going to close forum. https://cointelegraph.com/news/oops-roger-ver-says-bitcoincoms-forum-closure-post-was-prematureBut message is still there... According to Similarweb.com,Bitcointalk.org has around 2.28 million pageviews per month,while Bitcoin.com has 3.3 million pageviews per month.You can check Similarweb.com,if you want. I'm not sure how accurate the similarweb data is,but I was kinda surprised of the results. Bitcoin.com seems a little bit more popular than Bitcointalk.org,but that's because of the better domain name. Bitcoin newbies would trust a forum called Bitcoin.com more than Bitcointalk,unfortunately. What's weird is the monthly traffic of Bitcoin.com increased from 1.9M to 3.1M views in February-March 2020.This is because of the pandemic,I guess.
I doubt that big part of these millions visit Bitcoin.com. Most of them probably goes to News.Bitcoin.com or using their exchange or wallet. So, we shouldn't be surprised about big number of visitors on Ver website.

@YOSHIE, I think that problem is somewhere on your device, it's not forum issue. I remember that when I had old PC, I was getting similar things on other websites some times, but I'm not really sure what caused this problem.

I'm actually surprised that there is just one negative feedback on satoshi profile. Don't understand me wrong, but we all know that forum is full of trolls, haters, BCH shills and toxic users in general, so it's a bit strange. About this case, I doubt there is serious reason behind it. Maybe user just wanted to "play" with trust system a bit or wanted just to get attention to his name by distrusting satoshi. It would be interesting to read his response about it.

Yo LTU_btc... Didn't you make an F1 predictor pool at Superbru before the season started? Care to share the invite link again? There's prolly more bored people interested in playing with the lockdown and all.
Oh, thanks for reminding about it, because during this long break I completely forgot it. I see that you're already in, but it would be nice to see more people joining. It's free and I think some predictions can make watching F1 more interesting, so I invite to join: https://www.superbru.com/f1/pool.php?p=12232182If we get more people to join maybe we could chip in 10 bucks each to give to whoever ends up with the most points..? Yeah, why not. It sounds good and it would make watching F1 more interesting. Unfortunately, there is not so many F1 fans here :/

Now we are in very complicated situation, considering remaining opponents of Real and that we will have to play against Atletico next week. And Celta is so good recently. If not ter Stegen save in last minutes, they could have won this game. And what is more sad that we dropped points against team full of former Barca players. Real will play against Espanyol tomorrow, worst team in league at the moment. They are far away from safe zone and I doubt that they are capable to make challenge for Real. Just today they sacked their coach, but it's not going to help them probably.

Welcome back and congrats on having baby. I think it's understandable why you haven't been here for so long ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . I see what you did here in past, but I hope that your attitude has changed and you won't repeat such mistakes. Have a nice time here!

After today game I'm almost sure that Espanyol will relegate to Segunda. They are 8 points behind safe zone with 7 games remaining - their chances is minimal. It will be strange that there will be Barcelona derby next season. And I can't forget Espanyol owner words few years ago that they are going to play in Champions league within 3 years ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . Yeah, sounds legit: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jan/22/espanyol-owner-chen-yansheng-champions-leagueAnd if we have one of the most interesting fights for itle this year, situation on bottom table looks boring. Other two teams Leganes and Mallorca is also far from 17th place.

So, finally it's official. Congrats to @LFC_Bitcoin, @BitcoinGirl.Club, @buwaytress and other Liverpool fans here. Well deserved! You've been waiting for this moment for so long and it's finally here. I suppose it would be more fun to win trophy on the pitch than in this way, but probably it doesn't matter ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

I'm sorry to read about your problem. 0.35 BTC isn't small amount of money. But I'm afraid that chance that you can get back your money is minimal. Bitpay won't return it, because they will say that it was your fault that you didn't secured your account. At least 2FA is must use thing if you decide to keep crypto on web services. You also should check, maybe your device have keylogger or other malware and this is how hacker reached your account. And in general, it's not good idea to keep Bitcoin, especially big amount of it on web wallets or services like Bitpay. As you can see, unfortunately it's not safe. If you want to secure your crypto, it would be better to use desktop wallet like Electrum or in perfect scenario - hardware wallet.

AFAIK,Freebitco.in is one of the few legit faucets that are actually paying. Can you explain your problem with more details?Are you using a micropayments BTC wallet like Coinpot? If I remember correctly,the freebitco.in faucet was something like a lottery,where you can participate for the chance of winning up to 200 USD worth of BTC every hour.Did you won that lottery? Anyway,I think that faucets are a waste of time.You can spend your time and put some effort into more rewarding online activities.
Dude, please read post above. OP's problem is solved, he already received his BTC. I agree that faucets is waate of time nowadays, but Freebitco.in is much more than just faucet. They have many other games where you can win (or lose ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ) BTC. Multiplier, lottery, reward points, interest, betting, lambo lottery and etc.
