It's been a long time that I knew about cloud storage and decentralised storage networks but I have never for once thing that this use case will survive in crypto space because I don't see any reason for adoption. Now I guess I am wrong ..
File coin and Arweave are good example but I have a question in mind, anyone on here using this platforms for storing files? I'm still shocked they survive and doing fine.
Well they are not doing anything revolutionary but they are doing something. I am pretty sure those will get wiped some day but until then they will move with the markets. They have their followers and believers hyping them for free and since Filecoin raised almost $200 million in their ico they can just keep running this Circus As A Service operation no matter if it's needed or not. If they keep building their jobs will be safe and who wouldn't want to keep that up. But maybe i am wrong. Maybe they have a killer app coming and i haven't paid attention but i wouldn't hold my breath. Filecoin is a relatively new project but I don't think they will be with us long if they don't offer us such services that would be better than other traditional cloud providers don't.If they want to fight with the big guys it is a lost war without even starting but if they have some genius idea or killer app which I find this to be highly unlikely as their roadmap does not point to such revolution then most likely this is another Burst or Chia coin,sure they have something better to offer but in the end in a world where such service already exist it won't be with us long enough but that is just my opinion. |

Right now there are a lot of surprises going on in this Italian league. Nothing is actually certain in this league. And I think we can get the idea of that because only a few days ago we saw Juventus being in the second position of the table. Now they are somewhere near 10. That's how quickly things are changing in this league.
Honestly, I know that the first position of the table is being dominated by Napoli right now. I know they are ahead by a lot of points. But I am still not sure that they will actually be able to win this series A title eventually.
However things change i hope it doesn't change for Napoli. I was really happy for their win against Roma yesterday, it was a difficult one. Now Napoli is 13 points clear of Inter who are second with 18 games to play. I don't think they would fumble the league again this time around but this is football, you never know. The fight now will be for the next 3 spot. There's only a 3 point difference between Inter who are second and Roma who are sixth. Lazio, Atalanta and Milan are all on 38 points. The competition in the Serie A have always been interesting and this season wont disappoint. I really don't care about how all the rest turns out, I just want Napoli to win the league. I agree, Napoli basically guaranteed their championship at this point, they are nowhere near the other teams and they are going to win the title. Now, they have one more thing that they need to take care of, the last 3 champions of the league ended up not being champions again, this will be fourth year where we have a new champion, first it was the last title of Juventus, then it was Inter, then it was Milan now it's Napoli. It means that holding onto the title is harder than winning it. I believe that if they could somehow keep the core squad in tact, or at least buy players that would be equally good for them to win a second title in a row, that would be awesome. This year is guaranteed, they need to look for what to do for next year. They are winning against every single team,be it a strong one or an average one,their only lost is against Inter and that was accidental I must say as that was one of the rare few games that Napoli didn't score a single goal.I think they have a big luxury in the sense that they can opt to sacrifice a game or two in order to be more focused on the Champions League as now in Champions League we are going to start the elimination phase just a couple of weeks away. Every other team has not the consistency of Napoli to be a threat to them in their Serie A title challenge and most likely they will win or to say it better most likely they are already Champions of Serie A this year. |

Very interesting reading people’s thoughts about slot machines and how to try and beat the system. I’m sure there must be some merit to things being discussed but if it were possible to beat the house I think it would be more well known. The truth is that slots are controlled by the house and they can all be set at different payout levels. In the end though, the simple truth is that the house always wins.
The house wins in the long term. That's the key thing here, having the illusion that the gambler can win because from time to time the gambler does win, but the whole system is designed to keep people playing as much as possible. In the long term the odds are against the gambler, so if they keep playing, they will inevitably lose. But, if you happen to win big once, and quit gambling after that one rare event, then the gambler would have won. This rarely happen though, because the odds are against the gambler, and once they win, they want to continue gambling, until they lose it all. That is the sad part.Even when a gambler wins really big amounts they think to themselves finally I beat the game and they quit,take the money and call it a day.The gambler stays happy for a day or two but soon after he starts to feel that need and urge to gamble again in order for him to repeat that moment of glory where he won that huge amount,it is exactly this moment that is the worse for a gambler as when they try to repeat it they do it several times but without being able to and as such loses are catastrophic in the long term.Unfortunately as of today there is no real remedy to this. |

In the last meeting between these two clubs, Crsytal Palace escaped being beaten by Manchester United. This time around they may not escape it. Even though Crystal Palace will put up a good fight as usual. But Manchester United will be more resilient and formidable in the midfield against Palace.
But in England nothing is too sure, however the Erik Ten Hag guys are on a good form.
In the next match, when Crystal Palace meets Manchester United again in February, I'm sure it will be a very exciting match because both of them will definitely play with all their might to win, Manchester United currently has strengths that are not easy to beat by Crystal Palace. Crystal palace has been getting very bad results. Crystal palace really looks very bad. I firmly believe that Crystal Palace will lose by a big score. MU might have some bad results because they have met several big clubs but I will be very sure that MU will again get full points against crystal palace. Crystal palace is at its lowest point. With a series of bad results from five matches, I really believe that Crystal Palace will not be able to compete with MU in the EPL follow-up match. I fully believe in MU. The possible result will be MU as a winner or draw. Manchester United did not score more than one goal against Crystal Palace and they were even equalized near the end of the game and as such they were not able to win the game.Based on this recent history I think that Manchester United will still have difficulties against Crystal Palace despite Crystal Palace really bad recent form.I think that we can see a draw here or even a lost game from Manchester United if they do not pressure a lot even after scoring a goal as that was the error of this last game between the teams,Manchester United thought that they had everything under control which simply was not the case.As always for me the best bet in this game should be both teams to score. |

if you use the martingale technique make sure you have enough money, No none has enough money. For being successful with martingale strategy, you need unlimited balance. So, no matter how much money you have. Whatever amount of money you have, you will finally lose all that if you use martingale strategy. You will lose it by playing online as in real life I don't think that if you play roulette 100 times on red to fall 100 times on black,this is not probable but in online they make it possible as there is software controlled game that do it.On the other hand even if you have a huge balance in real life the physical casinos have put in place the max amount you can bet which act as a betting limit and over time you will lose too.Martingale works only in an ideal world where no betting limits are into place and we have unlimited balance,something that does not exist in our world. |

so uhhhh, when are they switching to ethash? was it all a marketing stunt to present the crypto as the next ethereum?
I don't know about that but even when they switch as I said it is not going to give them the success they imagine and this simply because no good things have ever come out from China,they were the responsible for making Bitcoin crash from the all time high in May 2021 as they did an entire crypto ban in whole of their country,this never stopped Bitcoin and crypto though and we are still going strong.So even if they change to Ethereum it won't bring them any good or any projected rise in price,this coin came out with all the hype in the beginning and so far it has only remained as hype,and as long as is related to China in some way or another most likely it will not have the success we all imagined when this coin first came out. |

In the last couple of matches real madrid been playing bad , no wonder this time they held draw though as they often saved by last minutes goal and now none of real madrid players can save the club to get the 3 points , real madrid always having a late heat to score in early minutes .
Don't know what's the problem in them , but this result are indeed making barcelona comfortable leading the laliga title race.
I see the possibility of Barcelona becoming champions in La Liga very high. But Real Madrid has potential. But Real Madrid need to improve from the way they are currently performing. And we all know Real Madrid are capable of a comeback. This result is clearly detrimental to Real Madrid, losing two points at the Santiago Bernabeu makes Real Madrid five points behind Barcelona in the competition for this season's championship. Barcelona greatly benefited from the results that Real Madrid just achieved, Xavi team are increasingly comfortable at the top of the standings after being five points clear of their rivals. Ancelotti must immediately improve in the next match, Real Madrid attack line must be improved to add attack power so that they have no trouble finding goals, Real Madrid must guard against opportunities so as not to lose points which makes them even more left behind by Barcelona. It was not missing the attack line in yesterday night game as I watched the game,Real Madrid attackers played good football and created really a lot of chances,the only problem was luck was not on their side in that game as the Real Sociedad goalkeeper was in the best day of his life I think having clearly saved at least 7 goal occasions from Real Madrid attack. No matter how much they improve the next game it won't benefit them that much because Barcelona has only conceded 6 goals in this season during all these games and that is the best clear indicator that they are most likely to win the La Liga this season. |

as we know, many people suggest investing in bitcoin because the risk is not too high.
but if we look at the market there are lots of people buying altcoins, and to be honest I also like to buy altcoins but there aren't many of them, and it's still my biggest investment in bitcoin. and to be honest even though investing in altcoins is risky but I always want to buy and the reason is because of the high pumping..
and I want to ask everyone what is your for buying altcoins, is the reason the same as mine?
Altcoins are much more volatile and more susceptible to growth. Bitcoin is unlikely to make x100 profit in the next 10-20 years, while altcoins are capable of showing such results in just a few months or even weeks. The prospect of big earnings lures most investors into the altcoin sphere. Bitcoin is a blue chip, it is reliable as an investment, but it has already grown too much to attract young investors with a small amount. Even me that I am an old Bitcoin hodler I think that it has potential in for a longer term like 5-7 years max in my opinion while other coins,especially new ones like EthereumPoW,EthereumFair,Zilliqa,Raptoreum and a couple of others have a much better potential to grow in price in a lower time-frame than 5-7 years which is a lot.That is why a lot of people are attracted to altcoins as they think to make a huge amount of money with very little one,this happens very rarely and as the best example I want to point out that guy that bought a lot of Shiba INU in August 2020 and when in 2021 this coin reach a much better price he won an insane amount of money,of course people like him can be counted with just the fingers of one hand. |

I really hope that Real Madrid will win this match to decrease the point difference with Barcelona.
Real madrid have to win this match, Barcelona already beat Girona 1-0 yesterday and went 6 points above Real madrid, if Real madrid draw, Barcelona will be ahead with 5 points, if they lose Barcelona will be ahead by 6 points, so Real madrid must win if not the title will be slowly moving to Barcelona. I don't understand why Real Madrid is having a difficult time finding the back of the net in this match. Like , am watching the game and from the chances they've created right there in the box, they ought to have been able to score a goal or two. Real Sociedad could surprise them in this game if Real Madrid aren't taking advantage of the chances they have created. They need some accurate passes within the box between K. Benzema, Vini Jnr and Rodrygo. Real Sociedad are coming really close and the Real Madrid defence isn't doing much to absorb there pressure. Its been goalkeeper saves all along. They have completely dominated the game by created ton of chances as I am watching the game also,the fact is that the only problem they have is getting past the goalkeeper which so far has made at least 7 brilliant saves.This is one of these days where luck is a needed factor in order to change the outcome of a game despite Real Madrid clearly being the superior team from the two teams playing but yet we are in the 85th minute of the game and the result is still 0-0. It would be a really bad blow for Real Madrid if they don't manage to win this as they will go 5 points difference to Barcelona and Barcelona is so far the best team of the league and as such further shading away the hopes of Real Madrid to become Champions of La Liga. |

Hi gamblers, it's a simple question I want to ask...
Remember it is said that, in gambling, the house always wins, I Want us to look at this two scenarios and tell if this are not actually a way to win/beat the house..
Imagine yourself as a new gambler who just joined a casino, played a few dollars and with luck on your side, you win money running into thousands of dollars, will withdrawing your money plus winnings from that casino, never to return there to play again, mean you have beaten that casino?
Secondly, imagine that on your first day of gambling, you gambled $200 and in the process, won money running into hundreds of thousands of dollars, you withdraw the money and start up your own business, and never returned to gambling again, isn't this one way to beat the house?
That is correct in both scenarios and the second one is truly beating the casino.The problem though is that whenever you start gambling a feeling of some sort of belonging to the game starts automatically growing in you,it is this feeling that it will hunt you for a long time even if you run away with several thousand dollars as winnings and even if you start your own business. Let's suppose someone beat the casino house and won 200k dollars,an amount enough to start a business in his city where he lives.Things start to go well even for the business but this feeling of wanting to go back and try that emotion and feeling that the game gave you while you won grows bigger and bigger and you go again to that casino this time losing everything including your business. Moral of my story:No one ever got rich or started a better life through gambling. |

If this has happened then most likely the price should go up even more than that.However so far in the last 24 hours only 6-7% increase is being shown in the Coinmarketcap website and a couple of other websites that deal with listing coins prices and news. Whenever it comes to something being allowed or permitted in China though I have always my doubts as they are led by the Communist Party of the People and whenever such entity is the leader of a country usually things do not bode well for that country so I would refrain for the moment by investing in Conflux or mining it or even exchanging some of my crypto for it. |

If Mercedes also cheat about using the money for the developments of their car more than the limited amount then this can upset the balances a lot. Red Bull did this and didn't even get a proper punishment for it. Maybe all the big teams will do this respectively until FIA decides upon a serious punishment for that.  This move can help Hamilton very much about getting closer to his 8th title in his career as well. But even with the help of that I believe we would still see a tough competition among Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari. It depends on whether Ferrari screw things up again after making a good start of course. I think that every year that passes makes the chances for Hamilton to win the 8th title slighter and slighter.I think his age is starting to show and the fact that his team mate did better than him the last season says a lot about Hamilton being restricted by age and this is not a single thing that is happening only to Hamilton.Just remember Michael Schumacher when he returned with Mercedes at an age even higher than this of Hamilton,sure he was 7 times Champion like Hamilton is but he was not capable of even a single good race and yes I know that Mercedes was not that good at that time. So most likely I see young drivers like Verstappen and Leclerc together with Sainz and Norris if McLaren step up their game as fighting for victories for this upcoming season. |

Paris St German is not gonna find it easy to win the game over Reims, Reims performance recently is something interesting and should not be looked down upon. However, PSG got more quality players to achieve that three points from Reims despite the outcome of their last match, So I do believe PSG is going in there for vitcory in order to put smiles once again on the face of there fans after they lost their last game.
I think Paris Saint German this night is going to crush Reims and consolidate their title fight further by making a bigger gap to Lens and Marseille,both such teams cannot keep up with Paris consistence and despite Paris not being consistent themselves I think overall they are a much better team and surely most likely they are going to win tonight.They are going to do so even to please their fans who are waiting for a good victory in Stad de France against a relatively good team I would say like Reims as they are in the bottom middle of the standings,so after that they will shift their focus to Champions League which is just 2 weeks away now. |

What do the big banks and mainstream institutions think of bitcoin?
Most of them especially in third world countries see Bitcoin as their main enemy and from what I see in these banks and their TV ads because I live in such country from some years now is that they are very very hostile against crypto in general and not only Bitcoin in specific,they keep telling people to not invest in such "ponzi schemes" and "scammers" according to them,it is a campaign to stop people here that are becoming much aware every year that passes and as such they are not pro it.In fact very few banks here allow to exchange Bitcoin to your debit/credit card,the big ones blocks such payments with the argument that this is money coming from scamming,that is how hostile they are. Luckily people do not listen to them and they love crypto,I doubt in the western developed countries banks have such high hostilities toward crypto although they may do in much little scale. |

In the end, it's all about stacking sats. Even back then faucet rewards were a waste of time for many people, faucets give around $0.002 (I took freebitcoin prize at the moment, but I guess there are better and worst ones)... but now that is 9 sats, and before it was around 1000 sats per claim (when I joined freebitcoin). So who started claiming faucets and having fun on the site long ago (in the best possible case withoeut or with some small losses, I am not in that category) now have a decent amount in BTC.
Faucets are waste of time if you are trying to make money with them... and I am sure we all know how many people try to abuse that, but it's not the point. I click that claim when I remember or when I am checking the site (for playing or FUN price, free WoF), while I am there why not? And like I explained above, with some careful playing and bankroll management (unlike me...) anyone can have fun and make a nice amount of sats.
Yes I agree. Don't see faucets as your main source of income but just a nice little extra. The base reward is pretty low, but imagine that the price of bitcoin goes x10, than all the small amounts you claimed also add up. My highest base reward I saw was around 130 -140 satoshis per claim. I agree that if you keep claiming and let the amount there without using it when the next bull run will come you maybe surprised at the level of income you have accumulated during this time.I know it is difficult to do as we tend to buy lottery tickets or gamble them away when bonus day for rewards points are active but if you are patient and do this from a long time because the next bull run will most likely not come before 2025 despite things looking good for Bitcoin in this first month of the year we are in 2023 and until 2025 the balance should have gone substantially up for us to enjoy some decent amounts of money,as all good things in life this needs a lot of patience too. |

Dogecoin's journey is still very long and remember Dogecoin's Holders have spread all over the world,
so Doge is not a coin that is only held by the developer but everyone holds this coin and makes Doge really very strong in terms of community and of course fundamental,
so who anyone who says that dogecoin is dead of course it is FUD.
I also don't think that is dead but Dogecoin has no real "technology" or "use case" behind it as its creator created it as a meme coin only.As far as I know this is still the case,I don't know this coin like Ethereum or some other ones to give a chance to programmers to come out with apps built on top of it and as such it is a dangerous coin to invest in. However I am also one that I have invested my self in here and have Dogecoins and their related other crypto like Shiba Inu and I have only done so because this coin became well known from Elon Musk promotion that it creates a lot of hodlers for this coin and they still are holding,I hope it brings some good money for us but from a technology perspective this coin is worthless. |

I think that the price of this card is reasonable compared to the other price increases we have seen from the old generation to the new one.However I am not expecting an increase in the hash rate if the 4060 ti since it will still be an 8 GB card,and as such in hash rate a maximum this card can have because of the new technology should be near 70-73 Mhsh on the most optimistic scenario.They have improved at a point though,the power consumption by default here is 160 watt much different from the 3060 ti which it was 220 or 200 watt as a default and when tuned got to 120 watt,maybe this tuned goes to 100 watt making it the most efficient card for mining until now.
Do you compare new graphics cards and their electricity consumption by Ethereum hashrate? In Russia RX 570 8 GB costs $75 right now and this video card has a good potential for downvolting on the Ethash algorithm, but the problem is that miners do not need these video cards now due to low profit. I usually do that comparison because it is the one who has worked great for me in order to get the best out of the hash rate for a card and what better tool of comparison than that of the Ethash algorithm which is now being used by EthereumPoW and EthereumFair. I know that we are running at a loss but when I buy a new video card,I aim for the long run despite running at a loss and I want to mine as many of these new coins like EthereumPoW and EthereumFair as possible while maintaining the lowest level of energy consumption,right now I am mining with one 3060 ti and one 2060 12 GB and the maximum power consumption is 250 watt together with other parts measured at the wall with a Watt meter,the hash rate is 97 Mhsh. I know the new generation of cards will upgrade this by running let's say the 4060 ti at 75 Mhsh for 100 watt and that is how I see the upgrade in performance of graphic cards,but anyone has their own idea. |

Just like TV station shows, where we have certain shows or movie series that are designated or referred to by some set of people are feminine shows or series. For example, in my own part of the world where I come from, TV station like Telemundo, Telnovelas etc. They're mostly regarded as TV stations meant for the feminine.
Now bringing this home as it concerns gambling, I ask, you as a gambler are there gambling games or sports that you think that such gambling games or sports are supposed to be mostly engaged in by a particular gender (as it suits such gender more), and why?
Mind you am not saying that gambling is gender-centric in anyway.
While I fully agree that those channels are feminine ones they usually come up with some really good novelas that I will be honest I have seen them,I don't remember the name but it was a good one with their primary actors that had a lot of drama,killings and tension and that novela would be targeting a male audience more than the female one. Also another show which is called "La Puppa e Il Secchione" from some Italian TV-s which is usually geared toward the feminine audience because there is a "beautiful but empty head woman" while the man is "an ugly but very intelligent man" and they are making a social experiment here. The same can be said about gambling,it does not target a specific audience but surely most of the slot machines are geared toward male audience and that is a known and proven fact. |

I think "exact data" is the part that is getting the news in that situation. Sure every team says they are better, but by comparison Mercedes has 16 HP better, and Red Bull has 10 HP, that is why the extra 30 HP that Ferrari got is a big big deal, and that's why its important. Its not just "we got a better car" type of situation, its more about the fact they have something that is tangible, which is the fact that they have an exact amount of horse power that they have added, which is why its such an important thing. I believe that they are definitely going to be better. And their "better", will be better than others better basically. Not saying they will win, but just saying they will be closer at least.
They also had this advantage of the faster car with a better engine in the first part of the last season but at what cost,at the cost of reliability so when we will see that these extra 30 HP won't affect their performance by ruining races like the most famous bad one is the Azerbaijan last race where both Ferrari cars ended up with failures and ended their race prematurely.They first need to fix the reliability issues before they will have the full advantage from these extra horse power,once they fix it they can clearly say and also make it happen on the race tracks that we will win the 2023 F1 season. |

The odd of Real Madrid seems like a dream to give them 1.75 at home when playing a team like Real Sociedad,don't get me wrong I know at what place they are in the standings,just behind Real Madrid but when Real Madrid is playing at home they have that magical feeling that they can win every game against everyone.As such I don't think Real Sociedad will be able to held Real Madrid to a draw or to a lost game because if they do they can as well say good bye to the La Liga title fight,6 points ahead is a big gap in a league like this one so I think we can risk a bit of money on Real Madrid tonight as they are playing their complete season in this game.`
