I agree that football from 40-50 years ago and today is very different, and it's very difficult to compare it.
The same goes for players then and now.
If we asked people then and now, everyone would have different favorites for the best players.
There was a lot less money in football before and more play for prestige.
Now is everything about money and statistics and Internet is everything.
Everyone has fitness coaches, nutritionists and everything has become an industry.
Before players was alone and simple played football   
I'm sorry that this era of football romance will never come back and that clubs like Crvena Zvezda, Steaua, Nottingham Forest will never again become European champions.
Money is everything today.
Fortunately, when national teams playing, it's still possible for a small country as a Croatian to play the World Cup finals and that is why I like to watch the national team.
In the national team, the heart is still more important than money and that's why I believe that Croatia still has a great chance in EURO next year, no matter again very strong Italy, England, France and the Netherlands who also returned.

Regarding security, I think better that user Dzoni answer you since he is CEO of the crypto exchange company.
As for the rest, no one is forcing anyone to use this crypto exchange 
So, if some people are not comfortable to use crypto exchange in the post office, they just won't use it and will find another way to replace their crypto to fiat.
It's simple like that and it's called the free market.
But, this crypto exchange will help a lot in mass adoption of crypto in Croatia and many new people will become comfortable with crypto simple because it's possible to exchange it in the state owned Croatian post.
Such things helps us a lot.

It seems that you confuse here several things, bitcoin, Internet and bitcoin forum.
This forum is dedicated to the bitcoin, bitcoin technology, mining etc, but this forum is not the same as bitcoin itself.
Everyone is free to use bitcoin and it has nothing to do with this forum.
As for the Internet, there is nothing called absolute freedom, and no one is free to abuse the Internet to insult, cheat, abuse others etc.
As for internet forums, there are rules, hierarchies on each one, and there must be order otherwise we have chaos and spam.
If you think something is wrong you are free to write publicly and ask for changes, or you can stop using this forum.
You don't have to be in this forum to use bitcoin.

Čestitam, vidim u Meti u novoj updejtanoj listi od Loyce da si službeno postao član forum elite,  DT 2 član.
Bravo,  zaslužio si to 😁

Well,  I think it's issue about future of EU and idea about united Europe.
It's obvious that if some country wants to be strong in global community and global relationship,  it's impossible without strong army as we can see from examples with China and Russia.
EU wants to be global leader like America and China but can't because they are not united and have many different opinions about global politics and relationships.
Macron understand it and trying to build united and stronger EU but real question is what other EU countries  think about it and if they support it.
Because EU don't have one policy but 27 or 28,  they are like paper tiger in the global community and can't really influence others like America or China.

Ok since no new application for merit I decided to reward one more post from you with merit,  about overpopulation.
Very interesting and detailed.
Honestly,  when I started this topic I expected much more applications from newbie and jr members since they always complain it's difficult to get merits and progress in this forum.
But,  because there are no applications I consider to lock this topic and use my merits to support more my local community.

I think that user Dzoni,  who is also CEO of the crypto exchange company, explained everything very clear in his posts here.
There is no confusion here,  it's simple business.
Croatian Post offered crypto exchange simple because there are people interesting in such service since Zadar is very famous tourist area.
They made deal with one private company and they are sharing profit.
It's simple like that.
Of course it's legal to use crypto in Croatia and Tax office already issued public statement about crypto and instructions how to pay taxes on crypto earnings.

Dobio si merit!
Tko je slijedeći?  😀

Yes,  Messi and Ronaldo are the best players at the moment but not in the history.
We had in the past probably better players like Pele,  Maradona,  Di Stefano,  Eusebio etc but that time was before Internet age and even TV like media just started.
Now is much more money involved here,  we have much more news and info so it's easy to think that Messi and Ronaldo are gods or something like this but in every age we had great players, just they didn't have chance to become popular like Ronaldo and Messi today.
Today everything is about money and I don't like it.

Dear Dzoni thank you for very good news.
I contacted Post office a few months ago with the same question but received general answer that they will make decision about future of this project based on the results from pilot project in Zadar.
From your answer it seems they decided to continue with this project and to bring it to other post offices in Croatia.
It will be great news for all of us in Croatia and whole btc community.

When I did research about it recently I find official statements about crypto from Tax office, Central bank and Regulator body for finance.
All of them warned that crypto is high risk because of luck of regulation and legal protection.
Tax office even prepared detailed explanation about crypto and how to report earnings from crypto and pay taxes.
So,  in my country authorities know crypto very well and they are ready to deal with it.
I even remember the case when  police discovered some drug dealers who bought drugs in the dark web with btc.

Bravo dečki, dobili ste merite!
Uz Vas se ne moram brinuti da će mi propasti meriti, samo tako dalje

I have not directly paid taxes on crypto earnings or bitcoin so far.
I actually paid taxes indirectly as I transferred btc funds to Paypal and from Paypal to my bank accunt.
I didn't report it as crypto earnings but as second income from abroad, Internet earnings because it was so much simpler and easier at that moment a few years ago.
Next time I withdraw my btc funds I will wait 2 years and prepare my FIFO records because in the official opinion of the tax office in my country, it's then viewed as a long-term investment and tax-exempt.

Personally, in my opinion this offer is very good step for mass adoption of crypto in Croatia.
Before I talked about crypto to many of my friends but they wasn't impress about it and they thought it was another scam on the Internet.
Now, when I told them that as pilot project Croatian post offered crypto exchange they changed their attitude and became interested in hearing more about bitcoin and crypto
Of course, those who care about anonymity will not sell bitcoin in the post but for others it will be proof that btc and crypto are legal.
I would like to hear from user Dzoni, Nikola Skoric, CEO of Electrocoin d.o.o. company behind this pilot project with Croatian post, about future plans with Post regarding this crypto project.
Any update Dzoni?

Congratulation @big_daddy, good bet
In fact, the biggest opponent to Croatia last night was not Slovakia, but Croatian players themselves!
From the beginning they were much better but due to lack of concentration they didn't score a goal and then they received it and became nervous.
Regardless of the poor result after the first 45 minutes, it was obvious that Croatia would score sooner or later and it was only a matter of the moment as there was a clear difference in quality between the two teams.
As soon as Vlasic scored, it was clear that Slovakia no longer had a chance to draw a good result.

OK finally some contribution, I was afraid that I will have to lock this topic because of no suggestions for good quality posts which I can reward with merits 
As new members you already wrote some very good posts in this forum, congratulation!
I gave you merit for the post about mining but if no more contributions in the next a few days I may check out your other posts again and give you more merits.
Just keep going like this and I'm sure you will make a fast advance in this forum.
I'm glad if I can support such users, who are trying to contribute something to the forum and be constructive.
Ok, waiting for new suggestions.

Rikafip, I've been following your contribution to this forum for a long time, both locally and in the main forum, and I'm really impressed with what I see.
As merit source I was happy to reward some of your very good quality posts and I will continue to do so.
I know that it is a very long and difficult road for young members to reach high ranks in this forum and sometimes it seems unfair but you really showed great example and I have no doubt you will soon reach not only hero but legendary status.
Just keep going as before and everything will be fine

Well, in theory it's good solution but practically we are very different.
Some users usually only write in a few topics and can't write many quality posts but others have more free time and knowledge so they can write much more quality and informative posts in the forum.
Sometimes we have very interesting discussions that last for days and in which the same users can have many posts.
Not all users are the same, nor are their posts.
In signature campaigns, the biggest responsibility lies with the managers and their selection criteria for campaign participants.
Someone can spam even with 10 posts and someone else can write up to 100 quality posts without any spam, in my opinion.
Limitation on maximum number posts will not help much, I'm afraid.
The best way to stop spam still remains post reporting function.

After the World Cup in Russia and the retirement of several important players such as Mandjukic, Subasic, Corluka, there were concerns over whether new, young players could replace such magnificent players.
But now, when we see how Livakovic, Vlasic, Brekalo, Petkovic and others play, we already forgot ''old'' and deserved players from before
I feel we again have very good national team, ready for big things at EURO next year, maybe again Final like in the World cup, who knows?
The only thing I blame the coach for is insisting on Rebic when it is clear that he does not have continuity in his club and doesN't play well ALREADY VERY LONG TIME.
Brekalo is must better choice and every time he enters the game he makes a difference.

 

Olmo has been invited to play for Spain because of his brilliant matches for Spain's young national team and excellent Champions League matches, and not because of matches in the Croatian Football League.
He is the next big star to come from the Croatian league and it is a pity that he chose to play for Spain and not for Croatia.
Barcelona already long time have a problem with their young players who don't develop properly and don't get a chance to play for the first team.
Olmo made very good decision to move to Dinamo a few years ago because he developed his talent and career unlike the young players who remained in Barcelona.
Do you know any young player in Barcelona who came from their young team recently?
