I am not entirely sure how you decide on a naturalized player though? Like for example in Turkey there is one guy called Wilbekin and he is obviously their naturalized player and that is the official application for their roster, however if you look at Cedi Osman and Ersan Ilyasova both of them are from countries like Uzbekistan or so back in the day, yeah they have been playing for Turkey and been a Turkish citizen for at least 15+ years but that doesn't mean that they are from there, they are from another country which they ran away from and came here to have a new life.
Or, maybe a person whose parents are from another country but he was born in your country? Naturalized has a lot of backdoor tricks if you want to deal with it and believe me nations are already working on those trick systems in their youth national teams.
Similar requirements like in football is needed. There player must have obvious connection with that country. For example he had to live or play in that country for few years, or his close relatives - one of parents, grandparents and etc must be from that countries. But that just my opinion about these naturalized player. Maybe others don't see problems there. |

Obviously F group is the most interesting. Reaction of Slavia boss when he saw group that they got was priceless  . While G and H groups looks very balanced and unpredictable. All of these teams can reach next round. My predictions for teams who will advance further: A. Real, PSG B. Bayern, Spurs C. Man City, Shakhtar D. Juventus, Atletico E. Napoli, Liverpool F. Barcelona, Borussia G. Lyon, Zenit H. Chelsea, Valencia They should change the rules for the drafts...
Group G is so unbalanced compared to Groups D and F.
They need to add something with ranking, not with the previous season results, IMHO.
It's impossible to make all groups similar level. I think that current group format is good. Adding rankings and other stuff would make draw complicated, due to tgings like country restrictions. |

I am going for Wolves.They are playing great offensive football so Wolves to qualify
Rangers-Legia it can be interesting game.First leg was 0-0. Rangers looks favorite but Legia has pretty good defense .So if Legia will be able to score then we can have such a surprise
I will go for Rangers qualifying especially since they are playing at home, the last they lost at home in all competition was when they faced Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup Quarter Final on the 12 of March 2019. I am also tipping Wolves on qualifying as well. For Rangers it will be tough match. I pick under 2.5 goals for this game, because Legia have awful offence, but their defence is solid and we can't expect that Rangers can score a lot. Other my picks tonight is Vitoria Guimaraes, Eintracht and Wolves wins. |

Wow!! I wasn't aware of any such restriction. Need to congratulate the FIBA for coming up with such a rule. Else many of the less talented teams would pack their squad with players from the United States and those teams who can't afford these players won't be able to qualify. I have seen this in cricket where many of the teams (such as Qatar, UAE, Singapore.etc) don't have a single citizen playing for them.
From what I have seen the case from other sports, the flood of expat and naturalized players do more harm than good. In the end the local players would lose their interest since they are unable to secure national slots, and it will have an impact on the growth of the game. Also, in a world cup you should be going with your own players rather than the imported ones.
No, it's old rule. And it's really needed. As you may have noticed, lot of teams have naturalized players, usually it's PG's from USA. And not only weak teams use them. Even powerful countries like Spain, Russia, Italy had naturalized. But IMO, even 1 player is too much sometimes. These countries literally buy player to play for the national team. And usually these players don't have any relation with that country, they don't even know language of that country. With only two days from start and first game here, FIBA took some chances on quotes for winning. I little surprised but this is how they are seeing thing how.
With FIBA Serbia has most chances to take this (probably cuz they won all preparation matches without whole team in rotation), USA is next, then big chance they place Australia as third and Spain as fourth. Rest are France Greece, Lithuania and Russia who won last game over Spain.
I wouldn't mention Russia as possible favorites. I watched most of their games and win against is more like exception from the rule. Spain played without Gasol. And in other games Russia played not impresive.This year they don't have their biggest stars like Shved or Moazgov. |

So, no surprises tonight and now we know all participants of UEFA Champions league.
Slavia 1:0 Cluj. Slavia reached another deserved victory and they are just better team. I remember them from last Europa league season and I really like to watch how they are playing.
Ajax 2:0 Apoel. After bad performance last week, now we saw totally one sided game. I don't agree with referee decision to cancel one their goal, IMO it was passive offside.
Brugge 2:1 LASK. Most interesting match. Brugge reaches group stage But I'm impressed about LASK, they played very well until red card as obvious underdog.

Usually domains aren't accepted as valid collateral here. You're asking for a big loan, 1.5 BTC is a lot of money, you don't have reputation here and domains isn't strong collateral. So, such deal would be risky for lender, you should understand that.

You had to set this withdrawal address yourself. This address should be from your wallet. You can use Freebitco.in as a wallet and shop online and something. But every time when you will want to spend these BTC, you will have to change this address to address which is given by recipient, online shop for example. It's not very convenient, so I suggest to withdraw your BTC from Freebitco.in to your personal wallet and then spend it.

There is another option - Coinomi desktop/mobile wallet supports Monero. I know that you're looking for onlinevwallet, but I don't know any. And web wallet wouldn't be best choice. Or just download Monero desktop wallet from their official website. As I understand you have Ledger hardware wallet, so you simply can follow bob123 suggestion.

I had replied to such topics so many times and I had similar thoughts. I was wondering, is it legitimate newbie or just alt account of someone who decided to make paradise for sig spammers.
But I think there is no other punishment other than bans. Mods don't even have access to information like IP address of user and etc. So, they can't identify who exactly are making such threads. But I doubt that individual spammers are doing these. Probably such dumb spam threads are made by people who have whole farms of accounts.

Lionel Messi is reportedly getting injured again. As a result, he will miss Barcelona for longer than predicted.
Messi missed Barcelona's first two matches in the 2019/2020 season. A thigh injury forced him to only be a spectator when Barca were defeated by Athletic Bilbao and ran over Real Betis.
Do we have any date when he will come back? Barcelona is a complete team and they have players to substitute Messi, but I consider betting for draws in the matches that Messi is not going to play. As I understand it's not new injury, he just still didn't recovered after injury. There is good thing that we will have national teams break after this weekend, so I hope that he will be ready to play after this break. Barca will have important match against Valencia, so Messi will be needed there. |

I agree with user above, Brazil president don't want to look weak in this situation. Especially after his recent conflict with Macron. But I think such decision made by him can make things even worse. Accepting help in such situation is normal things and lot of countries around the world helps to other when something terrible happens - big fires, earthquakes, floodings and etc
These news reminds me another recent story about Sibir forests fire and when Putin rejected to accept help from Trump.
It's bad that politicians first think about their ratings, political situation, but not how to solve problem.

So, there is still not enough shitcoins in the market? Imagine what if every crypto enthusiast would create their own cryptocurrencies? 99.99% of such coin projects will fail just after first step. It's not become rich quick scheme. If you have no idea what you're doing, you will simply fail. I see only one benefit in this topic - making your own currency may be good education and you can learn something from technical perspective.

Most teams had played their final preparation games today and announced their 12 players who will play in World Cup. Results: Greece 74:51 Venezuela, Serbia 61:56 France, Lithuania 82:79 Czech Republic, Spain 84:76 Argentina.From what I saw some teams still aren't playing their best game, they arrived to China recently and they have to adapt to new timezone. And it would be stupid to open all cards just few days before World Cup.
Some interesting numbers. Here is 15 players in Wolrd Cup with biggest contracts, 11 of 15 players are from Europe. It's a bit strange that Vucevic have bigger contract than Giannis and Jokic. But probably next Giannis contract will become one of the biggest in NBA.  Yearly wage. Numbers in USD. Source: Basketnews.lt |

Well, word "off-topic" itself answers your question. You posted something what isn't related to specific topic. For example, if you posted bounty report somewhere in Bitcoin Discussion, it's off-topic obviously.
It would be easier to tell what exactly you did wrong if you would post quote of deleted post and link to thread where you posted.
P.S. You made 2826 posts and got just 1 Merit! Wow, it's really bad. Did you came here just for bounties? You don't need to answer this question...

They not only can, but they are already starting to do that. Lot of banks around the world starting to adopt blockchain technology already. People need to learn one thing - cryptocurrencies and blockchain is two separate things. In simple words blockchain is technology and cryptocurrencies are "using" it. So, for example, all these news about banks or other companies adopting blockchain technology doesn't have any positive influence for cryptocurrencies.

It's difficult topic. Maybe now it's not a big problem, but eventually it will turn into big issue and solution for it is needed. IMO, distrusting people who passed away to remove them from DT isn't an option - they tagged lot of scammers and abusers and there may be just few feedbacks which are needed to remove. Another thing - trust isn't moderated, so I doubt that theymos want to remove such trust feedbacks manually. i got red flag for beeing dumb and joked about selling my account... man that was stupid :/ Zepher gave me red flag, and after his death  suchmoon gave me same red flag. After many convincing, suchmoon removed red flag, bcuse my account was not sold. But what do in my case, when i got red flag from person who is dead? Please advise Rux. Can you at least prove that your account wasn't sold? Maybe you can sign a message from old bitcoin address to prove that you're original owner of account? If not, this trust feedback is still valid. And FYI, Zepher left you trust feedback, not a trust flag, this is two different things. |

Team B, C or even D will be good enough for USA to lift the trophy. Believe me. The tournament has not started yet.
Bump this post in a few weeks time.
Hey, maybe you want to make a side bet? I'm saying that USA won't win World Cup. Just $10 or $20. Reply if you agree USA team is getting bashed incredibly hard, like "they do not even have third team all-nba on their roster" how many teams have that anyway? Serbia has maybe one? Greece has one?
USA has 12 NBA players on their roster, which other team has that much of a stacked team, sure the other teams have better players on their roster for ONE position but all other positions they are much more worse, for example Greece has Giannis and that is great and that is the best SF in the whole cup but are you really sure Greece has any matchup on pg-sg-pf-c positions? I doubt so. Sure, Serbia has Jokic on their roster but do they have matchup in pg-sg-sf-pf positions? Of course not. USA is still the best roster in this cup by a big margin, its not even close, they have the advantage on 4-5 positions on every single second of their play time.
USA is still favorites, but as we see, they are not so good as before. In past USA usually won all games by 20-30 points without even playing seriously. Now they lost first time in 13 years, had difficult games against Spain, Australia, so, no surprise that they are bashed. Greece have not only Giannis, but also Calathes, Sloukas, who are one of the best players in their position in Europe. Serbia also isn't just about Jokic - they have Bogdanovic, Bjelica, solid backup C Marjanovic. They have good players in other positions too. Nobody aren't even talking about teams like France, Spain, Lithuania - they also have a lot of talent. |

Barca 1-1 at HT vs Betis - most notable point is that Griezman scored his first goal for Barca! 70% possession for Barca, 8-0 corners for Barca but Griezmans equalizer came only a few minutes before the HT whistle. Expect an exciting 2nd half but dont think betis will be able to handle the pressure.
I must say I'm very impressed with the team spirit today! I'm very happy with team's performance although a number area still need to be worked on, but then let's just enjoy the huge positivity from the game! Yeah, tonight we saw great performance of Barcelona. Without Messi, Suarez, Dembele - I was worried before the game, but we saw that this team can play very well even without these players. And it was also interesting to see some young players in the squad.
They are indeed missing Ronaldo who was capable of winning matches on his own whenever the rest did not perform as they should...
Real starting their second season without Ronaldo. Maybe it's time to forget him and move on. They simply must beat like Valladolid without any excuses. |

It means that Blockchain.com sold their virginity to Rodger Ver lol.
As said above, if you're interested just in Bitcoin (BTC), just ingnore Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Bitcoin Cash is just a fork of Bitcoin. Bitcoin BTC is original, while BCH is one of few thousands altcoins.
