Barcelona can sign any player they want to, even the best players and they also have the best player in the world in Messi, another reason why players will love to wear a Barca shirt. I am also sure it's almost every footballers dream to play for Barcelona, to play alongside Lionel Messi, it's true good coaches have been hard to come by for them in recent years, but it doesn't change the truth/fact that they can attract any player in the world to camp nou.

Coutinho flopped, but I think it was more of his fault than that of Barcelona, he found it difficult to adapt to the Spanish style of play, and I always felt he was better suited in England. Any new player who adapts to Barcelona's style of play and blends into the team will definitely succeed.

Indeed this will affect the cohesion and understanding amongst the players, they are used to training as a group and getting instructions from the coach and assistants, they have some adapting to do; training individually or with few other players(i'll guess 3-4). The players will find it difficult to give their best on the field when the matches resume, it won't be easy, but I know they are professionals and they'll do their best.

You didn't understand what the poster wrote, many times users that aren't merit sources may want to give merits to a post, but have none to give, so they skip the post as they can't merit it;  but Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source can help. What hatshepsut93 meant was he also finds himself in that position and is not a merit source.

Merit sources are established members, who get refilled with smerits every month to give them to good posts on the forum, though I consider hatshepsut93 a very good user and should apply to be a merit source if he feels the need to.

Finally, smerits don't get lost, you send them to good posts and a newbie cannot be recognized or established, it's takes a lot of time to get that status, and efforts to.

It's not possible to invest in fiat currency, so I would not add this to the advantages of bitcoins(over fiat),you can only use fiat to invest in a business, buy stocks and even buy bitcoin itself. If you're holding 5 pounds today, it'll still be 5 pounds in a years time, it doesn't appreciate, though economical factors may play a part and what you can afford with that 5 pounds will either increase or reduce, but it still remains 5 pounds(so fiat is used to invest, not invested in)
Bitcoin is not a safe haven in a situation of an economic crisis, in fact an economic crisis can lead to bitcoin crashing in price and people losing large chunks of their investments. For example in the case of this corona pandemic(which is an economic crisis), I think more people will consider fiat more helpful at this time, and will even sell their bitcoins to hold fiat,  for it's spontaneity in meeting their needs.

scammers and cyber criminals are reluctant to target apps that do not get traffic and many downloads(that doesn't mean they don't), there is more risk in the most popular apps and websites, sites they know alot of people use and many new people try to dowmload everyday. Just like the situation with zoom few weeks ago, it became a target because of the number of people using the app increased.(the more valuable an app or website is, scammers try to impersonate it more)

I have also seen more than hundred bounty projects that do not pay, and investors receive no ROI, they just make an exit scam and close their bounty group; I think many bounty hunters will prefer delayed payments to no payment at all.

If OP is new to altcoin bounties, then he should get used to all this, you will be lucky to get a bounty that will succeed, it doesn't even matter if they delay distribution or not, majority of the coins will be worthless or the project itself a scam.

Corona virus pandemic is a terrible experience, one I do not wish the world to ever experience again, but it has in one way or the other brought the world together, covid 19 now is the "enemy" and every country/organization is supporting one another to defeat it for good. Storj has contributed in their own way, any help to those that make researches on this pandemic is helping the course to end it, this free storage will make what they do easier, and make their research faster.

I have also helped out in my local community in my own little way, donating to a few families around that are struggling this period, we can only end this pandemic if we unite and encourage one another and also support our doctors and medical practitioners risking their lives to being others back to health.

Hell no, there's no chance Newcastle will win the premier league in the first season of the "billionaire takeover"(that's if the takeover happens) and besides the players on that "fantasy" team do not have what it takes to win the EPL imo.

Look at Manchester City, even after skeikh took over, it wasn't an instant success, they spent some seasons buying the wrong players for huge amounts. Newcastle will be content with 5th to 7th position on the table in the first season, if they get this rich owners.

I think once the fundraising campaign is run by just one person(mostly newbies)with no escrow, then it is a scam...you cannot run a fundraising campaign on the forum all on your own with your personal bitcoin address; you need to convince people that the funds they are raising for the poor is actually for them, and to do that, you must be a trusted(established)user and another trusted user will escrow the funds, before you send funds to any fundraising campaign you're not sure of, verify through questions, you can start a thread to get opinions from others, just to be sure.

If you want to be of help to people scourged by this pandemic, you can always help that neighbor next door or donate food items to your local grocery store to distribute it to the poor.

Chelsea should have sold Olivier Giroud in January, I think around that time a few clubs were interested in signing the French man(and he wasn't getting playing time). Extending his contract now is the only way to ensure that Chelsea will get some money from him when they eventually sell him, because I'm sure Giroud doesn't have any chance in Chelsea anymore, Abraham is preferred to him, and he is 33 years of age, Chelsea will be interested in a younger striker for sure.

No i don't see Mauricio pochettino taking the job at Newcastle, I also don't want him to. I don't know if any top European team that probably wants a manager, but I want poch in a big team, in a champions league team and a team that competes for titles every season, he will be paid well in Newcastle, but he won't achieve much.
Nothing can be done if he wants to buy Newcastle. Money is now very important in football, just look at how much players cost in the market, only the big and rich teams can buy the best players, to compete and match up as a team you need money. Newcastle will be much better if the billionaire takes over.

I will not hurriedly conclude a user is trustworthy if I do not visit the users trust page, even if it shows when the user makes a post on some boards where it shows up. Before the trade takes place you'll still need to check why the user was given either a positive or a negative feedback, and if it's legitimate or not, the reference links and if the feedbacks violated or is in accordance with correct use of the trust system, some trusted members even get retaliatory feedbacks, so the feedbacks only showing in some section doesn't really matter, and one should always visit the users profile to see the trust score and make their decision.

The newer technologies imo is even easier to access and more convenient to use, even for people living in third world countries than this older models. I believe it's fallacious to think that outdated systems would be more convenient for people. For example it costs nothing to be connected on the bitcoin blockchain network, you only need a smartphone, data and a bitcoin wallet.

What foul means do hunters use to get a "lifetime money", is it enrolling a lot of accounts in one signature bounty; that's against the forums signature campaign rules and if it's discovered, the whole farm of accounts will get tagged. I don't expect you to encourage people to make money through foul means, AFAIK, it's now the projects playing foul play, they do not pay bounty hunters and they steal investors money.
You'll likely never meet any fellow bounty hunter in person, and if you do, just know that 95% of those projects pose with a fake team, so you'll be either walking into a wrong office, or no office at all.

Lol, and also fans that do not want Liverpool to win the premier league, I'll be accusing Manchester United/City fans of this . There are rumors that German Bundesliga could restart next month(May)and will be played behind closed doors, who knows maybe the premier league can also conclude and decide on a date/time frame. June may not be a bad idea and probably by that time we could have some reprieve from "attacks" from the virus. I'm sure many of us miss football so much, that we wouldn't bother much if it were behind closed doors, as it will.

There is an ongoing covid-19 fundraising campaign going on in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5240168.msg54213861#msg54213861. I don't know how exactly you want to run your website, but you can put the wallet addresses in that thread up on your site, the users running as well as escrowing that fundraising campaign(Irfan_pak10 and minerjones) are trusted bitcoin community members, it's much easier for users to donate funds to that campaign as they are sure the money will be getting to those affected by this pandemic outbreak.(I don't know how willing people will be sending funds directly to your personal address, with no escrow or track record of positive trust).

300 people is a good number, it's really going to be risky having more people than that, it's not what anyone imagined four months ago, but now I'll feel better if the numbers in the stadium could even be lesser than 300, so there is no risk or a spark of an outbreak due to the games which may pause the league again, and for a long time.

But wouldn't the German league be leaving the other leagues in Europe behind, like if the manage to restart and finish this season, when the EPL, LA liga, Seria A and others are still waiting for better conditions to restart, it's going to be very strange, they being so far ahead of others.

I understand your difference(if I can call it that), but let me expound exactly what other users have been saying in this thread(i stand to be corrected).

If it's for instance, a reply to a post, maybe a user seeking help, information, news, something about the forums history etc ; it can be understandable to surf for suitable information for such users and simply posting the links, or another thread in the forum(asking them to read it for more understanding), or extracting a quote or an excerpt of a thread were maybe theymos clarified other users on that issue. If it's in situations like this, maybe further explanations may be unnecessary and beating a dead horse. But I think if a user is to start a thread based on a link that they've come across, it's necessary for them to read and understand what the topic in the link or article is all about, it's criminal to do either "A" or "B" of what Ddmr Ddmr posted above in the name of not fully understanding the article or the news link.

Starting a thread is like beginning a discussion, one users should readily be available to partake in, just posting a link, or copying the article verbatim in a new thread is foul play, because definitely such "thread starters" wouldn't come back to the thread again.

Barcelona cannot spend much on a left back at the moment, they have Jordi Alba and he's still doing great for the club, sure, they will want Alaba, but can they pay what Bayern will request to sign him. After this pandemic, spending money will be difficult for clubs to do, so they will be focusing more on essential positions to fill up; AFAIK Barcelona can do with an average back up for Jordi Alba, instead of spending much for Alaba.

When you say a job that pays a good salary, for me to decide which of the options will be suitable for me is to rate the difference in the two salaries, only then would I be able to decide that which I'll choose.

For example if I'm offered a job in sector I don't have much interest in and they are to pay me a thousand dollars monthly or in a sector I love, to earn four hundred dollars, it's only sensible for me to go for the former, as the difference in salary is quite so much for me to forfeit my passion for that time. But if the difference in salary between the two jobs isn't too much, maybe about a hundred dollars difference, I'll choose the sector I love.

I know it's better to work or do a job you love, but salary is as important as that, you make a living from what you earn(salary).
