I personally don't care about Colombia's defeat in the group stage, because what I saw was only Colombia against top teams like Uruguay and Argentina. Therefore, I believe Colombia was not only lucky to reach the semi-finals and to be able to fight for third place, because the fight to draw Uruguay and Argentina required a lot of effort so yeah, I don't think it was luck.

Definitely not luck. But they did let themselves down anyway -- drawing to Argentina and Uruguay understandable, but drawing also to Venezuela AND then losing to Peru? That's what I can't forgive them hehe:)

But all good, and the clear favorites won. But they scored after 90th min and had to come from behind so it was close wasn't it?

Previously I thought Italy might still be able to win in the final match later, but after I realized the English team that seemed to have a stronger defense and also, I just realized that England now looks stronger in every line. Also, with the full support of playing at home then I think England will really be champions this time around, considering the aging Italian defender who looks likely to be overwhelmed by England's attacks.

Throughout the entire tournament, Italy has impressed but England seems to grow stronger every match. My bet is on Italy so I really need them to win, but I think you're right. Home advantage after a season of Corona and no crowds, it's going to be a really really tough atmosphere for the Italians.

Chiellini can handle Sterling but not Kane I guess.

Flamengo and now Sao Paolo, well done guys! I think it's a small pity Watford no longer with sportsbet, but so proud that you guys stuck with them in Championship, I guess, you can't have 3 teams in EPL all to yourself, right?Wink

Saints and Gunners, I feel like one of them is going to surprise us, and then Flamengo and Sao Paolo, doesn't get bigger than these two teams!

Lots of love for our Asian games yesterday, to be honest I'm sometimes guilty I don't even know these teams when some do come from my own area but sometimes my excuse is that it is hard to be excited by local leagues here.

Colombia Peru, nice match, not really know much about them but if they get 21, I will promise to follow these teams more!

the more FUD circulating in my opinion this becomes a test for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, look at the incident when last 2018, many coin prices collapsed, of course that happened because of the large number of FUDs circulating like this and a few months later the price soared again so in my opinion Moments like this should be used wisely.

Bitcoin has always proven itself in the most dire of moments. Let us remember about Mt Gox and then about the civil war supposedly going to destroy Bitcoin in 2017.

What happened next in both those times is not merely Bitcoin surviving, but pushing up stronger to new heights and not looking back.

This is what's so scary about Bitcoin, it LOVES FUD.
4867  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Scam Projects and Bounty . Way forward?? on: July 09, 2021, 02:41:56 PM
Some projects are very easy to identify because they tend to have the same name and even copy some whitepapers from previous projects, the stupidity of scammers for not having knowledge of blockchain and trying their luck creating 2 almost identical projects. Thread Scam Accusations will help make it easier for you to avoid scam projects.

Nah, the biggest scams are the ones that actually put some effort into their whitepapers, pay expensive shillers (sorry, I mean influencers) to pretend they're so excited about it, and then even hire a team to talk and do stuff. All this with no intention whatsoever to put out a real project. If no raise, they say they don't have funds. Nice excuse.

The way forward is to make these projects pay and just not give them any of our crypto.
4868  Economy / Speculation / Re: Overview of the Market on: July 09, 2021, 02:06:12 PM
Technically speaking, Bitcoin is in down trend. Technically only. Because chart can be manipulated and down trend is a preparation for future uptrend.
Charts are only 50-50 correct/incorrect. The real movements will only be seen when the time comes and not before that, otherwise every analyst would have been a millionaire. A deep downtrend can drive the market even lower so we cant comment absolutely but relatively only.

And they are only as correct or incorrect as the guy who builds them. The problem people forget about charts is that most people build them to prove what they think they want to see, not the other way around of building a chart and then studying it for clues about what should happen next.

And these are clues at the most, not even firm signals.
4869  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is there a pattern when there is a dump like this? on: July 09, 2021, 12:42:22 PM
I’ve been in crypto since 2014 and pretty much lived thru 2 bear markets and let me tell you how you can spot the bottom? The bottom will be when you least expect it.

Many expected the bottom in 2018 to be $6K and they were dead wrong. The bottom was $3K when people were calling for $1K Bitcoin.

In 2015 it was even worst because the market had almost no activity back then. Hardly moved. Then one day Bitfinex breaks the $200 support goes to like $175 and that’s when people throw in the towel and it’s the lowest price I’ve ever seen.

So the low will be when you least expect it . It won’t be $30K or even $20K. That would be too easy.

I kind of agree with you here. It's the same for both bottom and top. Would you ever expect a bottom to happen 6 months before a bull run? Cause that's what happened to Bitcoin last year, plus ETH almost too, and LTC and all the others had the same.

To think 30k is the bottom is definitely too easy, for 2021 maybe but we might visit it again next year or the one after!

Do you mean to score three goals to Brazil or get three goals from Brazil? I think the latter is more likely, I can imagine a scenario where Argentina concedes first and then opens and Brazil scores a lot of goals, but I cannot imagine such scenario in Argentina's favor. At the moment, Brazil looks stronger and has more rest before the final.

I mean to score 3 goals, doesn't matter to which country, I just want something entertaining. It'd be really cool to see Messi get in on all 3 goals but Argentina's defence will leak to Brazil, that is a fact. The worst possible final is that everyone plays to penalties, now that I would not be happy about. But the winners won't care;)
4871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You got a pifzer ? Then you can be eligible for lottery in Poland. on: July 09, 2021, 10:38:45 AM
I don't know where it's started that these theories have circulated on the web and putting fear on those curious folks that have also searched for the same conspricies. Well, you get a vaccine and you get a chance with the lottery only if you're in Poland and other countries that have this promo.  Grin

Honestly, not very much different from all the crypto conspiracy theories being pushed around. Yes, this is a trial drug for the most, yes, there isn't enough clinical trial, yes, a lot of stuff but also yes, survival rates are higher if you have the vaccine and this disease is bad enough that we should take the risk to ourselves, to protect others.

Anyway, let's see who wins the Poland lottery then.
4872  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the next economic crisis in the world instead cause financial inflows into on: July 09, 2021, 10:06:48 AM
I don't actually think so, or it'll be possible only in countries with a viable economy pre-pandemic, I think for countries that were already experiencing inflation and hyperinflation, coupled with a struggling economic situation, the pandemic only made their case worse and they would not be getting out of this mess anytime soon, for countries like the U.S or China, they would experience inflation no doubt, but I expect measures to be put in place to curtail it sooner rather than later, but the same can't be said of some developing and underdeveloped countries.


Which should negate most of the world's economies (which is why the majority of developing economies chose to ignore it because if they had just stopped imagine how bad their systems would crash).

It's unbelievable to see mega corporations and MNCs just go bankrupt after one month of not producing or working. Imagine how much more worse for poorer economies with less resilient structures?
4873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA EURO 2020 Discussion Thread | Current Phase: Finals in June 2021! on: July 09, 2021, 08:50:29 AM
Didn't watch it either, all the games are just way too late for me (so kind of frustrating for all these internationals halfway round the globe!).

Here in India, matches are scheduled at 12:30 am - 2:30 am. I watched the first semi-final between Spain and Italy, but then it was impossible to watch the second one between England and Denmark, since it happened the very next day. My office work starts at 9am, so I need to get up by around 7:30am-8:00 am, which is not possible if I watch these matches. Now they have scheduled the next match on Sunday, which is again a very poor decision. Ideally they should have scheduled it on Saturday.

These are the normal times for all matches.
The same happens when the games are outside Europe, the times are the same in the country where the games take place.

The final is usually on Sunday, because normally in these international competitions there is a third and fourth place game, which takes place on Saturday. It's true that at the European Football Championship this game doesn't exist. But keep the same standard calendar.

It is a bit better for you guys then. I am currently 7 hours ahead of UK time:) it sometimes gets to 8 when daylight changes (I'm not sure when that is). So imagine a 8pm game which is what most of the games started for EURO, it is 4am for me. I can still try to stay up (or wake up early) but the effects on my work the next day are very very evident  Tongue

Not going to even try to imagine how I'd feel winning a 700k from a single bet on 1 million, although I suppose if I were already at a level to make those bets I would be NOT making life difficult for myself wondering what to do with all that money. Crazy bet, and I think all the books are happy with so many draws in EURO after the group stages:)

Thanks for this thread rdbase, easy to make these picks like Multimaster, ah the good old days:)

McGregor is a funny guy, and it seems that these lighter categories guys are so full of fire, while the heavier ones are a bit more silent I think personally!

Putting in my picks after this based on the odds. Some favorites for sure, and a few "upsets". Good luck to all~!
4877  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Eth vs bnb on: July 08, 2021, 08:37:18 PM
Both of them is the giant alts in cryptocurrency, when bull run come up again both of them will give a ton of profit. But if you want me to choose from one of them, then i will choose ETH because i think bnb is just copycat of ETH and ETH 2.0 will be very huge and give a big upgrade for ETH platform.
Not copycat, but rather people who saw ETH when the ETH platform had started to be successful in the crypto space, so BNB also made a few developments for their platform so that they could always be famous in the crypto space like ETH.

Ton of profit for holders for sure. I didn't yet get into BNB as I still have my doubts, and I don't mind entering late as I did with ETH (getting in at $400++) when I'm more certain it's a strong bet. Bitcoin still the way for long-term holders with no intention on pure speculation. Perhaps when there's a real dapp I can use with BNB I might?Smiley
4878  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you find good ICO's and new projects in general? on: July 08, 2021, 08:06:11 PM
The thing you need to understand about ICO is a pump and dump so you should always grab that kind of opportunity to earn more, this pump and dump can make you money as long as you have bought at its early stage, then hold it for some weeks until it pumps then sell it. Do not hold it in the long term because ICO and newly release coins cannot survive in a long run.

Like I said before, it's impossible to tell anymore with projects so you're right. You have now to assume that every new offering has to be pump and dump because well, very few of them have any good reason to raise money.

Serious developers build. Pump projects raise. It's actually quite helpful to teach newbies that.
4879  Bitcoin / Press / Re: 2021-07-02 CNBC - Bitcoin mining consumed 56% green energy in June quarter on: July 08, 2021, 05:00:41 PM
Someone from the Bitcoin mining camp should Tweet out to Elon and ask him to make a new department to look at disposal of renewable energy things like Electric cars and solar panels. I support green energy but if we don't know how to dispose these things yet properly or don't know how to build them without exploiting children in mines in poor countries, we should not rush.

Elon, help.

Gives me goosebumps every time I see this kind of news. Used to do a small time forex thing (successfully at first and then a lot of bad luck and then it became crazy) so I'm reminded every time I see crypto traders pulling out their forex/stocks based TA. The good old bad times for me!

But no, I don't think anything except central bank policy seems to move crypto markets.
