1) Pull their SWIFT access

There is a reason why this has not happened already and probably will not happen. Many Russian banks are linked to non-Russian banks. Cutting off liquidity could lead to a global banking crisis and thus a devastating economic crisis. Putin certainly knows this and will not be very afraid of this threat.

An oil embarko would mean that oil prices would rise enormously. And the USA in particular is importing more oil from Russia than ever before. That's why it's unlikely to happen.

Who United?  Yeah but that away goal by Man United is so crucial tho.  And the second leg is going to be at Old Trafford so it’s a tall order and all United needs to do is prevent Atletico Madrid from scoring a goal and they’re through to the quarter finals.  So we’ll see.

I thought the away rule for goals was abolished from this season, wasn't it?
For me, ManUnited remains an enigma. They must be satisfied with the result, because from the game performance they would not have deserved a draw. Atletico was clearly the better team but they failed to score more goals.

Today I just opened my storage where i buy and stored most of my crypto coin and the rest I noticed have almost lost 60% of all my asset in dollars so I was tempted to sell off all and take a look at the market to know if there will be corrections, though I have been monitoring the market but I m not really convinced so I decided to share here to know whether I could get some people who  knows about the market to give a little breakdown before I go into such decisions.

If you lost 60% of your portfolio in dollars, that must mean you either invested in real shitcoins or pretty much at the peak of the rally. Both are bad. And unfortunately, that's how it is for many who got caught up in the fomo and were still investing when many experienced investors had already secured their profits long ago. I can only advise you to wait until a bottom is reached. At the moment, there are too many crises, whether Russia-Ukraine or monetary policy. After that, I would get back in and try to make up for the losses. But you must not forget that 60% loss means that you have to make about 120% profits to make up for this loss.

Aside from laughing about it, I wonder how big is this going to get in the future? Apparently the VR porn industry is growing pretty fast. What do you guys know about this?

I don't understand the concept of metaverse coins. In the end there will only be 1-2 projects (such as Decentraland) that will prevail in the Metaverse and the other big coins like Bitcoin, Ether and a few others. It's a mistake to think that all or most of the Metaverse projects will survive. In the end, the most popular cryptocurrency in the Metaverse will also be Bitcoin  Cheesy

Chelsea have taken a 1-0 lead as expected and they can now work at their leisure to extend this lead. What happened at the Juventus match seems historic. Has the CL ever scored so quickly in the eighth final? After 32 seconds to be exact, the ball was already in. Seems to be a record to me, but more importantly, Juventus is now in very good shape. Usually Juventus does not give away to much in the defense.

ya.ya.yo!

Fast and furious start from Chelsea and a nice goal from Havertz. The player is becoming more and more important for Chelsea as he scores the important goals.
Lille has been a disappointment so far in this match. I don't follow the French league, but the current bad place in the table is also reflected in the performance of this CL game.
626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 21, 2022, 07:00:09 PM

They scored 6 goals although playing without Haaland. That was such poor performance from M'Gladbach, I doubt another team could be beaten that way..
With 11 games left, every point counts for the top positions but also for the relegation battle. 2 positions left for the CL spots while Fürth is almost out of 1.Bundesliga

Gladbach played extremely weak yesterday. It reflected on the pitch what is currently happening in the club. Pure chaos. In my opinion, it's only a matter of time before the coach is replaced. Actually a pity to see how years of hard work is undone with one season.
627  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: some places for drops ? on: February 21, 2022, 06:53:46 PM
hello to everyone, i have found pipeflare i have put 10usd to it to give me some more drops ( i have regret that) and it drop some small amounts everyday for some coins....

i wonder are there any free drops ( i dont want to pay for membership or pay at all) in any page? feel free to share tha page and some info ?

i also like the bc game which is like gambling but i dont put money i spin and win some shit altcoins where nowbody know them haha

so whats your favorites pages or apps for free drops of any altcoins ?

Most drops these days are rarely worth anything and it's not really worth investing the time. The vast majority of airdrops are scams anyway. The heyday of airdrops between 2016-2018 when you could make several hundred dollars a day with a little luck is over. In addition, many airdops take place on the Ethereum blockchain, where the fees are so high that selling the drops is usually not worth it, as you pay more in fees than the drops are worth.

Bitcoin is mentioned in the first episode of the second season of The OA (Netflix) series when a woman whose missing daughter comes to a private detective to ask for help - and when asked if she has money, she shows a mobile wallet with 30+ ETH, and a friend of the detective explains that it's something similar to Bitcoin.

Thanks, added to the list!

yep confirmed:

She wants to know if you'll help look for her granddaughter.

00:04:48
She got any money?

00:04:58
What is that?

00:04:59
Ether.

00:05:01
What's ether? Is that some kind of, like, digital currency? Is it like a bitcoin?

00:05:10
She was getting it on her phone.

00:05:12
It's basically virtual money, but...

00:05:14
...it says here she's got $31,000.

00:05:18
Then why is she homeless?

Was about to ask in which part of the episode this mention takes place, but you've already answered the question directly! Thank you very much!

There are two small references to bitcoin and cryptocurrency in the movie "Don't look up" on Netflix:

1:16:45 --> someone in the background just shout "Buy cryptocurrencies!"
1:21:54 --> one character says, off-camera: "Not bitcoins. Ratcoins..."

Can you specify more in which season and episode the mentions take place or is it a movie?

There's a new, really well made, German documentary:

Human B (2021), The Insight Journey Into The Bitcoin Rabbit Hole | Youtube | Vimeo

I didn't see it mentioned in the original list in this thread, so I'm sharing it here. Absolutely recommended.

Thanks a lot for the report and the good preparation of the links Wink Added it to the list!

What is the best (safest) way to change my moneros to fiat money anonymously?
Can I change monero to real money by buying amazon gift cards? If so, where? And how safe are sites like local monero?

To exchange your Monero into Amazon gift cards is not really anonymous. The question is rather, to whom do you want to remain anonymous?
The best option is still to exchange them locally for fiat money, even though this involves certain risks in terms of security.
630  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what gives Bitcoin it value? on: February 20, 2022, 06:23:17 PM
I'll turn the question around: what gives unbacked paper money its worth? The answer is simple: poeple all believe that the paper in front of them is worth $100, even if the material is the same as the $50 bill, which is only half the value. Bitcoin's value is basically similar, except that this value is still defined by the invested energy it took to mine that bitcoin.

I can only urge any NFT investor to watch the following parody from Youtuber Joma about NFT investing. I think this parody gets to the heart of the matter. Only the very first really make money with NFTs. Anyone who comes a little later is the loser.

Brian Bot says he's going to go on Reddit and explain bitcoin to people

Thanks, I am not sure, do you mean "Netflix- Explained # Season 1 Episode 5 "Cryptocurrency"? Because this documentation is already listed in the overview.

'South Park: Post Covid' special (set several decades in the future) mentions Bitcoin at 10:02 and (as you'd probably expect) not in a particularly flattering way.   Grin

1. Blackhat - A Hacker based movie where hacker used BTC as their payment method.
2. Hacker - There they also used it.
3. Unfriended Dark Web

Could not find any hint on the web that Bitcoin is mentioned in these movies. Can you provide more information like where it is mentioned (at what point in the film) or do you know any Youtube clips?

Sorry, i hardly check old message or login to bitcointalk.

Movie name - Hacker
Used bitcoin - watch from 41:15 ( Movie link )

Movie name - Unfriended Dark web
Used Crypto - Movie part

For blackhat i don't remember the seen. Have to watch the movie again.

Thanks a lot for providing more detailed information! Could confirm both! Added them to the list Smiley



I have processed all reports by the end of 2021. The rest will follow shortly.

I have started waiting for especially the Atletico Madrid - Manchester United game on the coming week. Because these teams are very similar to each other these days. Both of them are in an unreliable situation. But if we compare the performances in the Champions League so far, Manchester United impressed me more. Atletico Madrid are just trying to give importance to defense first. And this doesn't work all the time of course. And Manchester United have a very strong attacking line now. Atletico Madrid can have serious problems on defending them. Ronaldo's performance will be crucial for the team.
I personally will tend to be on the side of United at this time because I think Atletico now really have to make something new in their strategy.
Their performance decline is more drastic compared to the current MU.
for United's attack line and athletico maybe almost equal because these two clubs are still struggling in goal productivity but in midfield and back I think now MU is more stable than Atletico.

If you take the current performances of both teams in their leagues, then the game is relatively balanced. I don't see any team favored. Both have their problems and strengths. ManU was rather lucky to win the league game against Leeds today.I rather believe that progress in next round will depend on the day's form.
634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 20, 2022, 05:53:23 PM
The point exactly.... Dortmund aren't even consistent in winning their own games in the Bundesliga not to talk of contending for the tittle, Even with their current squad, I don't know what's really going on in that league,Bayern Munich should be challenged, this way they won't see the league as their right. Other Bundesliga teams should try and work hard. Bayern Munich has won the league enough.

As long as Dortmund can keep the six points gap (and tonight it looks so since Dortmund is already 2-0 up against Gladbach), the championship will remain a bit exciting as Dortmund still has to play against Bayern. If Dortmund wins that, Bayern only needs to have one slip for Dortmund to be level on points. I still think that's possible. Other leagues (e.g. in France) are definitely more boring.

I am concerned about the progress of NEM and Symbol. It was clear to me that not much more could be expected from XEM after the snapshot, which is why I sold all my XEM at a good price directly after the snapshot, even though these were still mainly XEM from the ICO. The fact that the disaster continues for XYM is really indicative of the project. And I have also started to slowly reduce my XYM stake. Very sad.

Mainz - Leverkusen. It was an exciting game in front of the goals. A very good defence met a very good offence. Mainz started very well and had very early chances to score. But Leverkusen led twice and gave the game away in the final phase.
Mainz have as many points as Leipzig at 4th place. In the next weeks, many teams will fight for an international place. These will be exciting games.
With the full-time result of 3-2 for Mainz vs Leverkusen, Leverkusen has lost their chance to decrease the point gap to Dortmund. That was a strict match, moreover when the game was almost over and Mainz could score one goal again. This relaly beat Leverkusen players.
Mainz really played very maximally this match

Regardless of whether Leverkusen would have won yesterday, they probably wouldn't have been able to close the gap unless Dortmund would still collapse dramatically. But I think that's unlikely given Dortmund's remaining schedule. Thus, the result has no impact on Leverkusen, because they have enough distance to fourth place.

According to German media, Haaland and Real Madrid seem to have reached an agreement on a summer transfer. This also fits with the meeting last week at the Adidas headquarters in Germany where, among others, Haaland, his father and Zidane (as an unofficial representative of Real) met. Adidas is considered a favorite to sign Haaland on a long-term basis. A move to an Adidas-sponsored club like Real Madrid is therefore very likely.

Rangnick will be sacked anyway - he was brought as a temporary solution until the end of the season. He will probably get a role in the club though - but even if he won the title he would not be managing them next season.

Rangnick was brought in as an interim solution and to serve as a consultant for two years afterwards. But I think that if he is successful, he could stay as coach for another year. It is currently not certain that a suitable coaching option will be available in the summer. Why should the club then again frantically look for a new coach as an interim solution when they already have one?

hii all
my question is what is difference between HODL and staking

Hodling is like you have a gold nugget and you put in a bank vault in the hope it is much more valued in five years. Staking is like you have $1000 and you put it to your bank account to get some regular interest for it.
