4861  Other / Politics & Society / Re: You Ain’t Black - This statement is going to hurt Biden a lot. on: June 26, 2020, 09:43:15 AM
Biden wanted to use the recent black killings and protests against the government in America, especially that of George Floyd to his advantage to try and win majority of the black votes and that may just have rebounded right back at him; no one is even sure Biden cares about blacks or if he'll support blacks if he wasn't running for president of the US.

It's a wrong statement imo and a selfish campaign tactics, as an American citizen you should exercise your franchise based on the candidate you think is right, not on race (and neither of the candidates vying is black to start with).

• How about , people who are not rich are not required to pay the electricity and gas bills for the time being since during pandemic , literally no one has a job , whereas the subsidised bills can be equally divided into the wealthiest class and they be required to pay the same conditioned that it does not take a toll on their monthly income in any way.
Electricity and gas bills should be paid by every citizen whether rich or poor, as long as one uses those services it cannot be free and it's not possible for the wealthy to pay bills for everyone in the country, when they are in the minority. Also those bills are used by the country to raise revenues that will be put back into the economy for it's growth.
•During a job interview priority must be given to person who is most eligible ofcourse but at the same time the next criterion needs to be the economic situation of the family.
Only qualifications should matter in a job interview, the most qualified candidates should get the job.

The only way around this issue is taxation, citizens should be taxed based on their wealth and income, the wealthy and high income earners should have a heavier tax to pay, while the poor should pay little tax out of their little income, that way the rich will be contributing more to the overall benefit and development of the country, which will benefit all, including those who are not so rich (poor).

Lampard's decision to release the Spaniard does not sound surprising. Because in this 2019/20 season, Pedro has rarely gotten minutes to play because only recorded nine matches in the Premier League.
His age does not favor him at all, we all understand what Lampard is trying to do and that's build the team around young players like Mount. Pulisic, Tammy, Werner etc, Pedro is 33 years old i think and even though he hasn't had any great season with Chelsea, the last two have more or less being poor.

I thought Pedro would go back to Spain when his time at Chelsea expires, i must say I'm surprised with the move to Italy (Roma) imo he does not look like a player that will shine in the Seria A.

I chose the option of 'payment for a provided service,' I hope that option covers signature campaigns? Because that's how i received my first bitcoin. Users who earned their first satoshi/btc through faucets are leading in this poll, but I've never done faucets, i think the reason is, by the time i started nurturing my interest in bitcoin (2018) faucets and also airdrop were no longer as profitable as they used to be. Will I be correct to say "most users who earned their first btc/satoshi through faucets prolly heard of bitcoin before 2018"?

If i was a bounty manager (though I don't intend to be one yet) I'd not manage ico/altcoin bounties, there's no way I'll determine if the bounty will pay the bounty hunters at the end of the project, if they won't make an exit scam, if their coins won't dump etc etc (there are just too many if's) they can approach me and look good, but just as many of them have, in the end they may not be. I appreciate the efforts of managers who manage altcoin bounties, but if I'm a BM, I'll manage only BTC paying bounties, to protect my reputation.
4866  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is China going to dominate the world? on: June 25, 2020, 12:43:45 PM
China will find it easier to dominate the countries that are indebted to them, for example there are a lot of countries, especially in Africa that owe China a lot of money, and even before the outbreak of corona virus these governments do not even have the resources or plans to pay back in the near future, the aftermath of covid-19 makes it more improbable for them not to default on the loans; this can play well into Chinese hands. They can slowly gain control of these countries (territories within them) and their resources in exchange for the money owed, a situation that could lead to neocolonialism in the long run.

But dominating the entire world is beyond China, they may have a good and fast growing economy, but to dominate the entire world, they need to surpass other nations, especially economically and in defense (military) and they need strong allies with other world powers (China are making more enemies than friends atm).
The US are currently ahead of china and the world in these aspects and I don't think China can usurp them.

I am also surprised by what happened to the Spurs, the players of Spurs are better than Leicester, but in why they are can not do much to win the trophy. IMO, even Kane moved to other clubs, it will not guarantee he can bring a trophy for his clubs, see what happens with Ibrahimovic, even he can win in Local league, he can't bring Champions League title when he on that clubs.  Grin
Kane for instance is not looking at the Champions league imo, any trophy will do for him, he's a world class striker and he can brings goals along with him to any club, if spurs do not win any trophy next season, be it even the carabao or Fa cup, i can see Harry leaving.

There are definitely teams that guarantees a player trophies, there's Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City and some others, if Kane goes to any of this teams, he's sure going to lift a trophy or two, in let's say a maximum of two seasons. Mourinho can and has won trophies everywhere he coached in, so Kane and spurs may likely be putting something into their trophy cabinet next season.

Inter vs Sassuolo - Home win
Atalanta vs Lazio - Both teams to score
Roma vs Sampdoria - Home win

3 legged parlay, what do you think guys?
I'd be going with Lazio to win, since they've overtaken Inter Milan in the chase to catch Juventus, i think they will go home today with all three points and close the gap to a point between themselves and Juve, so away win & BTTS for me.

Inter and Sassulo for me looks more like a draw, matches between them are usually very difficult for inter, in their last six, Inter have won one, Sassulo four and one draw; so I'd be going with a draw tonight. Roma win imo also.

This is really amazing, writing of poems is just a talent I have. I think I inherited it from my grandpa, never knew so many would get excited over the poem, let me assure you, every rank up deserve a good poem from me.
Your poem is interesting to read (you know reading a poem is different from a text) and i also like the rhyming pattern you employed on the last word of every verse, it's not easy to write poems or even to understand them; I know that because I've taken a course on poetry in the university and it's always difficult to decipher what the poet or the poet persona is trying to say. Good thing your own poem is not difficult for us to understand, congratulations.
Used that talent in creating funny and enjoyable poems. Some here would probably enjoyed it. Just wait in time, to rank up.
It's always good to write poems, but imo I'd advice op to write poems prolly only on special occasions (rank up, halving or any other crypto events). If OP decides to make most of his posts poems, users will definitely get bored of it and the threads could then even start getting moved to off-topic board by mods.

It seems Leicester is no more safe in 3rd place. in one part of the season, they looked like an equal opponent to Liverpool and Manchester City, now they are wasting it all. Chelsea can come to only -2, ManUTD to -6. I didn’t watch the remaining opponents, but it seems that they may be endangered for top 4
Chelsea can close up to 1 point, not two, they are on 51 points now and Leicester on 55, United and Wolves can reduce the gap to six, I would not want to include spurs, I don't even think Manchester United or Wolves can catch Leicester, so imo only Chelsea can take their second spot from them.

Chelsea are up against City this Thursday, I don't think Chelsea can win, and it'll be a good result for Leicester if Chelsea don't, as they'll still maintain their four point lead over Chelsea. If they were prolly doing well, they'll want it to go the other way so they can try and catch city in second place, but with their performances since the restart of the league, they'll be content and lucky to end in number 2 position.
4871  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Spyce Price Conditions before and After Distribution on: June 23, 2020, 06:18:10 PM
I always suggest hunters not to rush but sadly most of hunters still rush to sell as soon as they receive the reward tokens they do not even care about the price which is really unbelievable, if the project is of good quality there is no point selling for pennies, just give enough chance to the team to come up with quality product and definitely you can make good profit then with price gains of multiple times.
If I worked for the spyce project, or invested in it, sorry I would not be heeding to your advice, I'll sell the coins ASAP. If you sell immediately, the ROI or return for bounty hunters may be pennies like you said , but imo it's better than holding and selling for less than pennies, or the team makes an exit scam, and you have no one to sell to then. I can only hold Bitcoin for a long time, as for new icos/altcoins, I don't, they are more of pump and dump coins and if you invested part of your money in it, you'll not want to be caught holding it when it dumps.

...but it is too late for a title fight and they can concentrate on next season now
Too late, the red half of Merseyside have the title already, but City can continue this way and still finish on a high note, they can prolly go unbeaten from now till the end of the season (beating Liverpool as well Grin) finish second and go into next season in high spirits. That being said, they still have the Fa cup and UCL to compete for, so there's still a possibility of a treble again this season, so they cityzens might still have a season to celebrate.
4873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 22, 2020, 07:17:59 PM
Liverpool have made a £54m bid for Kalidou Koulibaly.
Gomez, Matip, Lovren and Virgil, I don't know how many teams in Europe have players as good as them as center backs. Koulibali is also one of the best defenders in the world right now and will improve Liverpool's defense, but imo Liverpool do not have to spend money on a center back so soon again after buying Van djik, as we all know Napoli won't accept £54m.

I cannot find the article again, but I read somewhere that City and pep are also interested in buying Koulibali, they are prolly the team for me in real need of his services. John stones may probably leave at the end of this season, so Koulibali and Laporte will be a dream partnership for City in defense.
4874  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Oikos a scam project or what??? on: June 22, 2020, 09:58:19 AM
...the project raised fund successfully on Hoo exchange and they extend the bounty campaign for another 8 weeks after extended for extra 4 weeks before, what is going on? Is the team planning to steal investors money?
This is prolly the reason why the Oikos project extended the bounty campaign. (they want more money) I'd preempt you to expect the worst, they may also extend the bounty campaign even after this eight weeks, many other bounties have done things like this before and AFAIK, many of them didn't list in the end, Oikos could also end that way.

Oikos project is probably thinking of making all the money they can now, they may be uncertain of the projects future when it lists, that being said, they may also not have any plans to further develop the project on its use case when listed (It'll then dump) I am not certain this are their plans and imo you can't make any accusations yet, but extending the bounty campaign twice (four weeks...then eight weeks) after successfully generating funds, could be a red flag for investors and bounty hunters of this project.

...but i feel like watching Celta - Alaves in about 30min. It's a must win for Celta, 3pts today means being 4 points clear of 18th place Mallorca...i'm gonna back them with a side bet: Celta to WIN @1.92.
It's only half time and your bet is already safe in the bag, Celta lead Alaves 4-0 at the break, and I'm sure Alaves would wish the game could end right now. Another red card today for Alaves, last time out against Espanyol it was their goalkeeper, today it's for Aguierregabiria for a reckless challenge on Rafinha, two beautiful goals by him (Rafinha) after that by the way. Grin

Alaves would only come into the second half to prevent Celta from scoring more, this game will prolly end either 5-0 or 4-1, this is going to be a big win for Celta as they fight to stay in Laliga next season.
4876  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Binance deserves the first Position on CMC on: June 21, 2020, 09:16:52 AM
Many people are saying that binance ranked was manipulated because they now acquired coinmarketcap, they are now rated 1st on coinmarketcap...
I wasn't expecting CMC to rank another exchange, if not its owner Binance as number one, it could have been manipulated or just as a result of their proclivity to their own exchange Binance, or they may be deservedly 1st.

If a shady exchange (Yobit for example) had bought CMC and listed themselves as number one, then the manipulation will be obvious and people will distrusts their rating and may stop using CMC, but since it's Binance and even if anyone thinks they should not top the list, whichever way you look at it, they rank in the best three, so it doesn't really cause any problems imo.

The whole arsenal team are a joke..they lack motivation, No leadership..Arteta always looks sleepy on the sidelines Face with tears of joy it’ll be a pity leaving his job at City just to get sacked at Arsenal, the team spirit is not there, no zeal about winning the match, slow game, wrong substitution from coach everything seems not to be going right for Arsenal right now,
I can't question Mikel Arteta's decision to leave Man city to become coach of Arsenal, it's not like he was the head coach at City, he was just an assistant to Pep Guardiola, and even when pep leaves the Etihad, the club may have other options to buy as head coach and not promoting Arteta to number one position. It was a good move for his career.

Arteta is not under any pressure of being sacked this season. He'll just see out this season and wherever Arsenal find themselves at the end, cannot cost him his job. Next season is when he'll be under pressure to deliver, by then he must have tabled his demands to the Arsenal board (it should be an overhaul of this Arsenal team) and if they are met, the pressure then shifts to him to perform.
4878  Economy / Economics / Re: world war 3 is coming ...do to coronavirus / economy ... on: June 20, 2020, 02:03:50 PM
Logical Reason why ww3 is coming : People going to be hungry very very soon (famine) ... if you ever been hungry you will understand
No country is recording any case of famine due to the pandemic, people may have lost their jobs, and the economy in a bad shape but there's no famine threatening the lives of people, even in the underdeveloped of countries.The virus has lasted only for about five months or so, and even if an entire country is locked down, five months is short for a famine to surface.
To feed the people govs need resources,how do you get resources ? You find a excuse to attack your rich neighbor or another country rich in resources
Or you try to destroy your competition ( Example: China - India
A war comes with destruction, annihilation, and even the famine you talk about, that exactly was the case in 1914 and 1945. It can't be a means of generating funds/resources to boost the economy and feed the nation. Government will open more businesses, create more opportunities, give out stimulus/loans etc to get more resources to start up the economy, but attacking another country is not an option, and it cannot have any positive outcome if not causing more mayhem for the two countries.

I think Brighton is the type of team that suits Arsenal's game plan and I think they will win today.
Brighton are only two points away from the relegation zone, they have to win today, but against an Arsenal team coming today after losing poorly to City in their last match. I don't see any chance for Brighton to get any point from this match.
With Lecister having more pocession, if they maintain it in the second half, they are likely to win the game.
Imo Watford finished the half the stronger side, with Doucoure coming very close to scoring, stopped by a very good save from schmeichel in goal for Leicester. The second half just started and I'm predicting no goals in this game (0-0) Grin
