The scammers do not need 'real' youtube subscribers, I've seen many people advertise that they can help IG/Twitter users get thousands of followers in no more than two days or so, getting fake/bot Youtube subscribers would also be in their stock-in-trade.

This scam youtube channels imo weren't hacked, they create this YT channels themselves with bots as subscribers to make their channel look real, so people then subscribe to it without suspecting since they have a 'large crowd' of subscribers and this makes it easier for the scammers.

Well not at all, I saw that movie this year (though released in 2011) and covid-19 pandemic just seemed to be reacting everything that was acted in that movie, except on a deadlier/fatal basis.

The recovery rate worldwide is far higher than mortalities, that means the virus can be managed, and people can recover or also die, just the same possibilities with other diseases like Cancer, Tuberculosis, Cirrhosis etc. The reason why governments locked down their countries was cause of how fast the virus can spread. With the curve coming down in quite a lot of countries I don't see why they should not ease off the lockdowns.

The awareness has been created, everyone is now conscious of the presence of the virus. People have to go to work, businesses reopened and life reenacted again, the government locked down their countries then as they tried to get a clue of what was going on, now that there are effective preventive measures, life must and should go on.

I didn't carry out a survey nor do I have any raw statistics, but the higher number of people who fall for this scams are people who are not bitcoin enthusiasts, in the sense of understanding the network, investing or trading in it. I'm saying this from experience, some of my friends who do not hold any bitcoins have presented some of this schemes to me for me to assess it and tell them if they can make double from it.

It is still based on the believe of those so far away from the network, believing everyone in it is rich as we discussed in this thread, so when this novices see this schemes, they think it to be their own opportunity to make money from it. As for stopping this from happening, the only way I think it's possible is if more people nurture their understanding of the network and also change their mindset of getting rich quick from it.

Three (3): Kyle Walker, Danilo and Joao Cancelo, Guardiola likes to attack with his fullbacks, (right and left) that's why he spends much money on that position. Danilo has moved on and I think Joao Cancelo is a good back up to Kyle, City may be considering selling Joao to bring in Achraf i think, no need having three right back options. Though Joao can also play on the left (and has sometimes) so can Achraf, so they may all be options for both right and left back .
Jack Grealish's performances this season imo is enough to earn him a shot in a big team, every party will benefit if the deal pulls through; United get their man, Grealish goes to a bigger team and Villa make good money.

Kante is a very strong defensive midfielder and has developed so well since winning the EPL with Leicester and going on to win it the next season with Chelsea, he'll be good in any team, but he doesn't look like the type of player Madrid would go for. (I think this is just a rumor) Madrid loves box to box defensive midfielders, that not only can stop attack, but also start one. (like Toni Kroos) Kante is good defensively, but I don't rate him so high on the offensive (or on the ball as well).
That will make both Cavani and T.Silva free transfer targets, I knew Cavani's time at the club will come to an end soon, he doesn't seem to get along well with Neymar and I'm sure PSG want to make Neymar the only star man to make him stay at the club. imo Cavani can still offer quality performances at the top level and T.silva can be a good back up defender. With the virus limiting the amount teams will want to spend, they will both be good options for teams In Europe, prolly for one season or so.

Half time in Espanyol Vs Alaves' game, who else is watching? The match is not too interesting, but I am enjoying the game on a boring Saturday. Alaves are down to ten as their goalkeeper Pacheco handled the ball outside the box and was sent off. Espanyol have been the better team with 77% ball possession and more goal scoring chances, and they go into the break 1-0 up, fine header from Bernardo in the final few minutes of the first half gives them the lead.

I don't think Alaves can come back in this game, as they are also one man down, who has a bet on this game?

Bounty managers have their different styles. (to achieve the same results) If the subject of the topic reads just 'open', without indicating the available slots, the last post of the bounty manager in the thread will indicate the ranks required. If the subject of the thread is changed to 'open' and includes the rank required, the last post of the bounty manager will still indicate the same information of the ranks needed.

Another reason why BM's leave the subject at just 'open' is cause some of them accept higher ranks for lower slots. (hero member for full member spot for example) So the last post of BM in the thread will reveal the open slots and also update higher ranks if they can apply for the position or not (if it is a lower rank to theirs that is open).

So imo it's the same thing, the problem is not with whichever style indicates an open slot, but reading patiently.

After researching about this coin (project), I found out that they scammed bounty hunters during their bounty campaign on the forum and the hunters were not paid, you can go through the links above to confirm that, and they never responded to the scam accusation thread made against them. They have pumped well in the last 24hrs, but a coin with this type of shady behaviour in the past, I suspect this could be a planned pump and dump scheme.

DdmrDdmr already explained it all, another thing is sending 50 merits in one Tx would be hard for a non-MS, either they would not have the smerits or would not consider spending it that generously (50 at once) since it would prolly leave them empty, with no replenishing happening every 30 days. So 50 in one Tx is a rarity and even when sent, it's by a MS, but since merit sources are still asking for more smerits only few will send 50 in one Tx, that's why you see it less often.

Definitely no Liverpool fan would want to see Karius in goal again for the club, not after so many poor performances capped off with a shambolic display in the champions league final against Madrid that cost Liverpool the title.

Karius isn't a good goalkeeper, not in any way and the reason why he was between the sticks for Liverpool in the final was because they had no choice, (not for any quality) choosing between Karius and Mignolet who is also horrible is not a decision any manger will love to make. (In a UCL final match) Allison has made it easier for Klopp to breathe when opposition teams are attacking Liverpool and there is no way back for Karius or any other goalkeeper in the Liverpool team.

One reason why Liverpool won't spend this much is because Jurgen klopp is not the kind of manager who breaks the bank for players, I know he did that to get Virgil and Alisson but Liverpool needed quality players in those areas and since he fixed that, the team has been perfect and I think all they need now is just makeshift players (back ups). Another reason is there's so much understanding between Liverpool's front three of Salah, Mane and Firminho, if I was Klopp, I wouldn't want to break that bond, bringing in Sancho could disrupt the understanding amongst the trio, even though Sancho is brilliant.
Am I the only one who thinks Arsenal is going to win this game?

I second that, and the situation could be worse for people who do not know how to create strong passwords, anyone who doesn't know how to create strong passwords, read: How to create strong/secure passwords. If you use weak passwords like your name, date of birth or something personal to you, definitely your close friends would have those information about you, and if they think you're rich and get jealous, they can try to attack you if they get access to your device; they could even try to hack your bitcointalk account, if you've also told them about that.

As a university student (like myself) it's even more difficult, sharing a house with other kids, it's also hard to stay personal with lots of friends (knowing you need to write out seed phrases, private keys etc) I'm sure i would have lost a lot of my funds in cryptocurrency if i wasn't on bitcointalk (where you can learn how to safely store your coins, create strong/impenetrable passwords, stay anonymous etc).

I don't think the pandemic is an excuse to stop searching for a job in real life, I know so many people lost their jobs when the pandemic started, but now the lockdown is slowly easing out and government is reopening the economy, so there must be something you can find out there to do.
Altcoins bounties or investment as an online job cannot replace the benefits and security of you getting a job in your country and earning money, bounties do not secure you a stable income and Investing is risky, what if you get scammed or buy pump and dump coins?. What you need is a special skill to work online, not "joining with altcoin"

imo, paying $5000 to this individual (Teeka Tiwari)  and buying into his pump and dump scheme is moronic, he is prolly working with the creators of those (5) coins to pump them to a high price, read about pump and dump here: What is pump and dump scheme and after they are pumped, those who bought some or all of the five coins think he was astute in his predictions, but no, it's just a scheme.

I'd advice no one to pay op $300 or even to purchase the original prediction for $5000, you can DYOR, or start a btc investment of $5000, it's much better than investing in pump and dump coins or someone's guess (in this case Teeka Tiwari's)

You are correct, imo the title will either be going to the Etihad or Anfield for a couple of seasons more, they are the strongest teams in the EPL at the moment. Chelsea and Arsenal are still rebuilding their teams, with new managers (Franky and Arteta) so I'd be giving them few more seasons to work on their teams to compete to take the title to either Stamford bridge or the Emirates; as for United and Spurs, they are not title contenders imo.

So I agree with you @Brainboss, only city can compete with Liverpool for now, I cannot imagine an EPL season without city, if that can be one of the punishments they may get, I heard it could be points deduction, not a PL ban.

I know the government probably have their backs to the wall in terms of what decision to make because of the pandemic, but then a decision must be made, and that's why I made this thread, imo there will be stagnant development all over the world and nations will feel the impact of the decisions their governments will make in years to come.

One thing is certain, and it is that the government doesn't have enough money to ensure all the branches of the nation and the economy is funded adequately, so some will def experience stagnanted growth, and will struggle to catch up with the rest, the borrowed funds also have to be paid back, recession is also looming etc, for now the government is only concerned about sustenance, funds are mainly for sustaining the economy and their citizens, (and I understand that) it will work for now, but the opportunity costs of these decisions will affect the country negatively in the long run.

I'd say that observing the market capitalization is more important when you are investing in new or unpopular coins, if you want to invest in bitcoin i don't see it a necessary thing to do studying it's market cap. For example if you want to buy a Sony, Apple or LG product, this companies are popular and renowned in making quality products; there will be no need imo to go through reviews on their products before buying, AFAIK it's the same if you want to invest in bitcoin, you don't have to tack it's market cap.

But if the coin is new to you and you have not invested or traded with it before, tracking the market cap can see you through to make your decision and also to rate the coin on its "current price and the amount in circulation"

It is not something UEFA will like to do, but if City wins the UCL this season, they will not be able to defend their title next season, except if they can win their appeal.

The competition will of course look strange without the defending champions (if city become champions) but it won't make sense if city participates when serving a two year ban, are they going to serve the ban in the next two seasons after that, what if they become champions again . The best thing is for them to serve the ban at the appropriate time imo.

Check this source: Why have man city been banned...

I have said it before, City won't sell sane for the price Bayern Munich are offering, if Bayern buys Leroy at that price, city will be the team losing, letting go of one of the best wingers in Europe for a price as low as €40m is not 'good business' for City. Bayern thinks the price is good also cause of his ACL injury that kept him out for over a year, but imo it's not a reason to buy Leroy at that price. Sane is young and has recovered fully and I don't think there will be any recurrence (of the same injury).
Manchester United obviously 'knew' his value when they bought him for a world record fee as of the time he signed for them IIRC, but he has not contributed to the team as much as the fans would have expected and that is why they criticize him; as you mentioned with Lukaku, Pogba could leave to another team and start playing brilliantly again, but he's currently not doing that at Old Trafford and I would not question the criticisms he's receiving.

The is the official requirements as posted by theymos to become a MS
Though the generosity score for aspiring merit sources isn't included in the requirements, but I'm sure Theymos also looks closely at that when selecting. Users can't aspire to be MS's with a 'very low' merit generosity score (that in one way or another means you hoard merits) and since users must be 'established members' and have earned quite a lot of merits (of course to achieve that status) the excuse of having no smerits doesn't then apply.
I second that, also in their receiving/earning merits, some users have said they do not like giving out merits to users who hoard their smerits.
