Man oh man guys. I've been suffering too Welsh, past couple of weekends nothing to cheer me up after dreary work weeks. Sure, there was sport, but just doesn't cut the same way.

Re Trent, it was some kind of disservice to talk about how poor he was at defending (yes it's sometimes true, but he more than makes up for it in attack and creativity)... but with all his improvements this season, it's criminal to still bring up the argument. He's already to me defensively a lot better than most of his peers in the league. Can't recall the precise games now but he was instrumental at least in keeping Inter at bay, Arsenal too (even though he lost most of his one on ones against Martinelli) -- I hate to bring up stats but he's sometimes ahead of even Walker or James at intercepts and successful tackles. Positioning will always suck but that's because of Klopp's demand -- he'll never improve that.

Anyway. Someone stop me from putting down too much on April 10... I see 35/10 on Liverpool and my betting click goes brrrrr....

I'm with you. Huddersfield will be on my acca tomorrow, sandwiched between a number of very important top-tier games. I have to say though, wholly unfamiliar with their setup this season but I would really like for them not to clamber back up to EPL. All due respect, they really weren't lighting it up last time around. Of course, that was 4 years ago but...

In any case, have honestly been so bored with internationals, no luck as usual and throwing dumb money at it. Thanks for new contest!

Yup!

Speaking as an ordinary person, I'm definitely seeing 50k as a big milestone, exactly half as big as 100k will be when that happens. Even if just doing unscientific maths, that'll be just about 75% of the current ATH.

Take that against the perspective of 2017 ATH, it would be akin to Bitcoin breaking $15k -- something that never happened in the aftermath of ATH, when prices just kept declining and never went up past $15 again until 3 years later. Had it happened months after ATH, like it would now, we might not have seen crypto winter so soon after.

Freebets well received, thank you Sportsbet and jeremypwr!

CSL63 if I didn't know any better, I'd say you're an F1 hustler and guys like me are fodder for you

Nevertheless, not too unhappy with my Race 2 performance, climbed 2 spots and "only" 6 points away from you. Those early Superbru points are gold. Definitely worth putting picks in early!

CEXs not here to stay disproven many times already. DEXes came, DEXes went. The ones alive today and thriving haven't been around for very long and when "defi" yields less and less, people will move on to the next fancy thing. CEXes have only gotten bigger. The cracker here is so many new defi coins still want to list on exchanges -- there's the exposure, there's where regular Joe lives, there's where it's still easiest to get your hands on crypto.

Of course I advocate for self-custody, but CEX will be for a long time the gateway.

For the time being. There's always been alternatives -- Russia's simply been the cheapest for a very long time. Think a lot of governments in the EU are now doing estimates for the cost to the taxpayer to switch to alternatives within a year and it's not as bad as they thought. Spring and summer are also timely now to give time to make alternative arrangements.

I don't think crypto will be needed in that stopgap.

Wish I could have the staying power of some of you. Now I'm by no means an early adopter, my account age alone tells you the earliest I could have gotten in and that was shortly before THAT all-time high.

I've got 2 targets. One is a dollar value, one is a date value. The first I believe is unlikely, but if it does happen, I'm not going to be greedy -- but also assuming this dollar value retains more or less the same purchasing power of today. Why I won't budge from this, and why the second target is, is because of the keen knowledge that I'm not going to live forever.

I'm a simple guy, I have dreams like everyone else, but my personal dream of comfort and "doing what I really want" actually won't be very expensive. But I couldn't do that without the guilt of not providing for those who rely on me, such is the sin of the prodigal son. So those targets really are to buy off that guilt. Make those I care for comfortable enough they don't suffer if I go down the hole of self fkery.

Since the date target is likelier, that's in about 10-15 years, or rather, 4 halvings away thereabouts. Cause if Bitcoin ain't anywhere when it's producing less than 0.4 btc per block, I ain't waiting around. Otherwise my knees won't carry me around much. Blame football.

Should check this section of forum more often for gems like these. Would have lol'd my own take but I see they've all been capably done by mk4 mindrust and others.

That's just fancying up liquidity provision, for a cut. I guess now that Defi scalpers (sorry I still feel nauseous even spelling the word) run out of ground on them DEXs, Binance trying to attract them to this instead.

Can't say they're not smart business people.

Never been a real follower, but couldn't have avoided Schumacher in my time, but I recently understood as well how important this seems to be the case now, and why some drivers (hint hint) never wanted to leave for a better challenge, knowing they'd immediately inherit slightly less incredible machines.

And I hope I don't step on toes but that's also what's happening to Lewie now isn't it? Now that Mercedes isn't doing so great, neither is he. Anyone think this is temporary or a blip?

Again, my Schumacher lore is suspect but he once said something about driving in the best car that winning is the only option anything else is losing.

I think this could have happened several years ago, Viabtc (I think) had or has a paid acceleration service. They'd take those zero-fee txs and add in into a block, for a fee.

Essentially, you're still paying them a fee. This was 2017/18, I still remember myself making some 0-fee txs but pretty sure this was before that became non-standard (if I use the term correctly). Wasn't really ever a power user to understand much back then.

Myself never successfully got a tx dumped from mempool back when I did for-fun testing of min txs to see how long they'd take to finally confirm.

Right from one of the horse's mouth I see. OgN don't forget to share what yours will look like -- though if it contains all that your NFT will dox you heh. Should have gone for something fancier like an audio clip maybe of one of his latest proceedings and a text-to-voice of your client number read out.

Definitely tasteless, but if the intent really is to try and creatively recoup losses for his past investors, can't say I wouldn't join in.

I speak as Me, an e-gold victim who lost virtually everything.

Saka all the way, and I actually got Jimenez too, my picks were put in way early, probably not a good idea as internationals have a way of messing with form but it's not like I've been getting any better when making educated picks. Can't wait for league football, the only thing that matters.


As I was saying in Oscars thread, I think it's really just tradition of awarding the most "feel good" film over an actual great. Not to lessen the importance of all the nominees, but yeah, Forrest Gump over Pulp Fiction or Shawshank Redemption, 30 years ago, that's the tone you've to understand.

Missed out on a pretty big win yesterday when backing South Korea to keep their H2H vs UAE intact, and also, the African ties killed me as I went for a big parlay on under 2 goals, as was expecting all to be low scoring games. Almost hit but of course, Morocco had to turn it on and score 4 goals ha!

@joker yeah Senegal through, Egypt out, another terribly drawn out game from both after the Afcon drama. Salah heartbreak for country but I don't think they'd have made it far anyway the squad they have now that renders Salah ineffective. Only thing is laser attacks again marring the game, that shit's really got to go -- FIFA should have stopped the game (new rules) after lasers but no, nothing happened. Senegal deserve it, but they also deserved to have opponents fairly beaten.

I think some, that I encountered in the past, didn't even have a KYC function. Probably obsolete now.

And, the limits before KYC required have generally been there for European BATMs, at least to my experience since 2017/18 -- this all changed around 2020 even, can't remember precisely but you could even sell Bitcoin for up to 10k euros a day (precise numbers may vary but it was a huge amount) without KYC. Then the machines I used to walk past almost daily were removed, my guess was to update the firmware and install new KYC limits with AMLD5 in force.

Those machines aren't in place any longer until today though. Not sure what happened, Covid I guess.

^Lord save me from the temptation but I'll pass on this one rohang ha.

Not because it's unattractive, but because I have absolutely no clue how to root for this (not that it's prevented me from betting on Brett Lee specials before). Interestingly, some background was provided on both the teams involved in this post in another discussions thread.

Hope it hits or... in this case, hope both teams do 21 "illegal hits"

Yeah, I definitely buy the volume expectation too, I think there's been more than a few parties/people/institution who have been holding off on liquidation for a while now. First, when they caught the November ATH too late, and then those who were expecting Dec ATH (remember when every influencer was naming 31 Dec) and then now that we're back at that same position, some will have decided to change their mind and wait again for ATH.

50k is certainly going to look like a signal for that. Happy days.

If Larsen's justifications ever had viable merit, he'd have at least a little success with his own alt, or proven it with another alt in the many years since then.

Not saying PoS is entirely crap (I suppose it security weren't a major factor and you do want a blockchain just for playing games or messing with nfts that won't ever be worth anything, it's a brilliant way to use blockchain without worrying about 51%) but as pointed out, there simply isn't enough incentive to switch over. Not for the miners, certainly not for the users.

Cost benefit, people keep forgetting. Yes Bitcoin cost of maintenance is high. But what comes close to matching the benefit?
