Fiorentina is no longer a top team in the Italian seria A, and that has been their status for so many seasons now. And I do not think they have bettered their chances of bouncing back by signing frank Ribery.

Frank is no longer a top player, and he's no longer young, he has given his all to Bayern and if you ask me, his arrival at Fiorentina is just to ease off and finish up his career, but that's not the kind of stuff Fiorentina needs to return them back to the top flight.
We'll see if Ribery brings a good amount of experience to the squad that will be beneficial and improve the squad, but it'll take some seasons for this to happen.

I can understand why PSG are disinterested in this deal, James and bale aren't the most in form players in the world at the moment, and with the amount they'll cost Psg, most especially on salary basis, it doesn't look too attractive for them.

I think Madrid already know that this players may not have any more to offer them, and they are looking for a way to ship them out for a single better player in Neymar.
Madrid should either come out with just cash only or give them more players that would attract PSG's interest.

If you're making an open request for scammers of thieves to return funds they stole, then that is never going to happen, why did they steal the funds in the first place if they are simply going to return it, it's almost impossible to appeal to the conscience of criminals.

But in case of recovered funds which happens less frequently in this cryptocurrency environment, then the funds ought to be returned to the original owners, but when you take another look at it, how many stolen funds have been recovered, it's near zero, the technology makes it difficult for us to track down criminals.

Nope it's not a typo, to nuke can mean to erase completely, so to say a users post was nuked is actually correct, just that we're used to(on the forum)saying nuke for accounts and deleted for posts, the both words can even be interchanged and still be correct both syntactically and semantically.

OP: no need writing an "essay" to complain about your posts that got chalked off by a mod, just take it like a challenge to you to make better posts in the future that would not be qualified to be called off-topic post or replies.

In this 21st century, lack of modern knowledge such as computer literacy, digital competence, technical skills etc is bad for an individual.
The whole world is evolving into a digitalized shpere and it becomes very important for all to acquire that needed knowledge to be able to thrive in our world today.

The poor people today are mostly those who lack the basic knowledge that is needed to increase ones chances of succeeding in this modern/competitive and digital world of ours

Making gambling illegal only worsens the case in those countries if you ask me, whether there is a ban on it or not, people would still gamble, whether it's covertly or overtly.
So rather than placing a total ban on what most people consider as a means of earning an income, what's much better to be done is to establish regulations and restrictions to betting companies, that way any violation of such laws would attract X punishment.

Gambling is no crime and should never be stopped, the government can try to advice people through various means to gamble wisely and warn them they are at a personal risk should they not.

That's the modern game for you. Coaches are put under unnecessary pressure by club owners to perform, after five or so matches, performances are analysed, changes are made. We've seen this numerous times in recent years, coaches lasting just 5-10 games in a particular team(job).

So many coaches have bemoaned the immense pressure they are put under to perform, not even minding if the team is in transition or not, just as Chelsea is.
If you ask me I think coaches should be given longer time in a particular job, to try and build a team that'll will have coherence and unity.

Did you say young? Mario mandzukic is 33 years old, that's in no way young if you ask me, he is way past his peak/prime.
Mandzukic to Barcelona would be an unwise move for the player as he'll see limited playing time, and I know he'll be briefed about that should the deal be on the verge of pulling through.

Mandzukic is definitely coming to be a backup and he better think twice if that's what he needs at this stage of his career, he'll eventually become surplus to requirement at some point and be moved on, just as Barca did you Boateng last season, a club with a lesser pedegree would fit Mario more.

If indeed Zidane is to give Gareth Bale a chance this season, which I doubt he will, he will have to keep replicating the form he showed against Celta. Even if Zidanes first stint as reals coach, there were matches bale showed purpose, one being in the UCL final against Liverpool, but all this didn't succeed in winning him over in the heart of the manager, let's see how it goes this time around.

Barca would definitely bounce back from their loss, I think the battle for the Spanish title this season would be one to the most intriguing, with Barca,madrid and athletico all gunning for the trophy.

Chelsea have been playing good football in all their games this season, but the win just hasn't come for them, which puts the team and most especially the manager under pressure.
Norwich is a very decent team, they played very well against Liverpool on the opening day, but lost. Last weekend they came out on top in their game and this sets up their match against Chelsea pretty well.

It's not going to be an easy game at all for Chelsea, as they are going to be under pressure in this game(a must win for them), though I feel Chelsea will come out victorious, 3-1 in favor of Chelsea is my prediction.

I think Psg are guilty in the delay of this transfer, I wouldn't relate it to low prices at all, crazy offers have been put for Neymar already, even those involving two to three players as part of the deal, which I see no reason why the owners of Psg should reject such offers.

If Neymar doesn't eventually leave PSG, it'll be the fault of the PSG board, and Neymar would be a dejected figure in the dressing room, which would hamper his career progress. Even if he doesn't leave now, he must during the January transfer window.

You can't really blame this teams for not hanging onto their players, when teams of lower status have a good season, it showcases the amount of good players they have in their team, and this attracts the big boys to come for them, with the players eager to leave, the team has no choice but to cash in on them and make good money for themselves.

This leaves such teams depleted for the coming season, if they do not make wise signings, but I think this teams have to find a way to hold onto their players, and see if the form shown, can be replicated.

I think those who began betting early must have experienced betting with fiat currencies. I began betting with my local currency as i went to betting houses, played virtual games(soccer,horse race etc). I most times came out on top, but I tend to always lose the money the same way it came

But since I got into the cryptocurrency "business" i can't remember when last i placed a bet using fiat, it's more convenient for me using cryptocurrencies, mostly i use BTC, though i take some sticks for risking my btc most of the time

In our colleges and universities today, courses like entrepreneurship,skill acquisition are taken and learnt in the classroom, thus i see no reason why blockchain and bitcoin(cryptocurrencies)lessons should not be incorporated, it's is infact a great method of giving students the needed knowledge that could grant them the financial freedom they need upon graduation.

I will write a personal message to my vice chancellor this week on the need why bitcoin(cryptocurrencies)and blockchain should be added to our curriculum, I'll keep you guys updated on It's progress.

I think this strange spontaneous change of support just goes to show that all the supporters of BCH actually know the truth, but they just decide to live in denial.
@Bitcoin probably fell out with Roger ver and most probably lost his "pay check", so I guess he sees no reason why he should continue to lie to himself with no gain/benefit anymore.

BCH is simply trying it's best to stay relevant, but it'll slowly fade out, it's not the bitcoin, and even deep down in Roger's mind he knows the truth, but just has to play dumb.

I agree with you here, without the signature from his address, every claim of identity becomes worthless and not to be trusted.
There is no way satoshi is coming on his bitcointalk account again, as his account currently is being secured by theymos to avoid impersonation, he'll first have to prove himself to be the actual creator of the bitcoin before the account can be handed over to him.
We just need to let go of all this theories, speculations, and guess works, and just believe satoshi is fine wherever he is, just as his creation(bitcoin)is fine in our hands.

I do not think he'll get banned for all his inconsequential feedbacks as they really do not hold any ground, so no need paying any attention to him and his feedbacks.
Though they(his feedbacks)could be considered as worthless spamming, which could get his account nuked for 7 days as a warning to him, if this continues then maybe a 15 and 30 days ban respectively, which if no change, then a perma ban for the account just as the rules posits.
The mods will have to decide on that based on the severity of his offence(s).

As long as your project or business is a good one, you'll always get good investors who would love to promote it and make money from it in return. It's not feasible to try to talk people into investing in your project, you would not be able to cover quite a large number of people.
The right thing to do is to let you business or project proposal speak to them, make sure it's what can catch the attention of investors and get them interested.

For example I hardly invest in ICO projects anymore, because none just seems to catch my attention or looks promising in the long run, no investor puts his money into what looks like a failure from the very beginning.

That's correct, sending merits to an account for s post twice isn't actually a problem, it's fine if the action was done intentionally, for example someone with limited Smerits can merit a post once due to lack of smerits and come back to merit them again after a refill.

The suggestion I think was for people who send merits twice unintentionally, probably due to the fact they couldn't spot their usernames easily to know if they had sent merits to the post initially.

Merits shouldn't determine how threads are sorted, I think the current system used to sort threads works fine based on how active the thread is(last comments).
A user with 10 merits can create a thread with more value than one with a thousand merit, thus why should the latters come/be sorted or placed first, this things have been thought through, that's why they have not been implemented.
And one can always bump their threads if necessary, this part is working very fine, I see no need for modification.
