Manchester United seems to be unlucky, that's my opinion, the defeat after defeat they got in the champions league was not a defeat through an easy process because they almost won the match against Copenhagen, but when they were unlucky then all their hard work was in vain.
The red card was indeed the cause, but the two goal advantage should have been used as capital for Manchester United to determine the strategy to use after the red card and Ten Hag failed to instruct his squad on the right strategy.
They are unlucky because Rashford likely did not intend to make that dangerous foul but with VAR checking, it is detected and because of the dangerous foul, it is indeed very dangerous, even it is not intentionally, he deserves with a red card. The red card makes Manchester United defense system weaker a lot and they got three conceded goals easily. They can feel regret with a very late shot from Harry Maguire that his the cross bar of Copenhagen and some opportunities wasted by their players. Generally, Copenhagen won the match and they deserve it with all efforts they make and it's hard for Manchester United fans to accept this defeat as it nearly drags Man United out of Champions League. There is still one place left that Manchester United can get in the group, but they have to win all the remaining matches, that is not an easy thing because they will face Galasataray away and Bayern Munich at Old Trafford, maybe Bayern Munich will no longer field all of their main squad. in the remaining matches, which opens up opportunities for United, but Galasataray will make things very difficult for United, so a miracle can take them through the group stage.
With poor defense, they lost to Galatasaray and Copenhagen with same stories, scored first and lost at the end. With this poor defense, they will be destroyed by Bayern Munich and they have to aim at a third position in this group to join Europa League. It's impossible for them to get a second position in this group with only two matches left. |

Chris Nkumku will return from his knee injury in the second week of November and start playing for the Chelsea squad in the same manner that he did in the team's preseason games.
For the Start, Nkunku and Jackson will be playing separately in matches until the best-performed player takes the front position.
Pochettino has plenty of work to do in utilizing the Chelsea player in terms of finishing and their defense to achieve the goal of reaching the top 4 spot this season
Chelsea are in a long crisis that lasts since the past season and they are trying to end their crisis. They bought many young star players and I believe it is their plan very long term growth of the club. They want to build up a competitive squad for their club in next several seasons. A biggest problem in Chelsea latest season is they don't have stability for their coach position that causes of lot of chaos in the club. It began with the invasion of Russia into Ukraine but even years before that war as their previous President and owner, Abramovich, was under radar of UK. government and even got some restrictions before the war. The war only makes things worse and worse for Chelsea and a sudden change of ownership results in some big changes in their clubs. Their poor performances in the last two seasons are from many factors, not only players themselves. Nkunku and Jackson looks to be promising players for Chelsea next two or three seasons but they must help the club to end the crisis in this season. It will be better for Chelsea to start a next season with better sentiment, less stress and pressure. |

You can not roll back the Bitcoin blockchain and if Bitcoin community do this, Bitcoin blockchain will no longer be considered as better than Ethereum blockchain or many shit coin blockchains.
Each mining pools, nodes can have their settings to exclude transactions from Ordinals but if they want to do it. Miners get benefit from more expensive transaction fee, higher fee rate because they confirm transactions and get transaction fees.
Reason to roll back the Bitcoin blockchain?
It does not make sense because a Bitcoin block includes many transactions and transactions for Ordinals, BRC20 tokens are one of many in a block.

This guy got robbed, got his Binance funds stolen, and after all... He took a picture of his upside-down room, and uploaded it to Twitter. Hasn't he learned his lesson yet?
You found an important point. People can make their choices, become a public figures (influencers, KOLs) and show their faces publicly as well as talk about their investment. To gain recognition from community, they need to show their wealth too. I even don't need to read about any robbery and story like this to keep my investment in secret. I even don't care to talk about my investment to family relatives. It does not help me and even can not help them too but I know my life can be at bigger risk like that man. If my friends, family relatives need my help, they will find me and sure at that time, I will always be ready to give them my advice. |

Knowing too well that Chelsea's victory yesterday was based on the injuries that some Tottenham players had and joined with the red card. Chelsea shouldn't be given any credit on winning their next match with Manchester City. This is because City is stronger than them and have not lost only two matches. Manchester City have their complete players for that match and they will be playing aggressively because they saw how Chelsea won Tottenham.
Tottenham lost that match but they are not weak but losing two players, they can not have good performance against a big opponent like Chelsea. Hope this defeat won't trigger a free fall of Tottenham as Premier League needs them to have a more exciting race for a title. If only Manchester City and Arsenal race for it, the league will become more boring. Chelsea performance is unpredictable as they will win one match today and lose the next two or three next matches, which makes it not impossible for the blues to win because of inconsistency and poor performance. Chelsea will only play their best and see what will be the outcome, if possible maybe a draw but it can never be a win for them.
It's hard to predict Chelsea performance because they have many star players who can wake up and have a good match. They don't have good form and still in a long crisis since the last season but they are type of unpredictable opponent and can not be underestimated. Will Chelsea continue their good form and officially recover from this surprising win? I don't know and I will need some more matches from Chelsea to say my opinion about them. |

Ronaldo is playing in his second season. Benzema was drafted just ahead of the start of the season and he didn't got much time to get adjusted. Also, don't forget the fact that Ronaldo had a very ordinary season during 2022-23. Another factor is that Benzema suffered from several injury issues during the last few months. All that said, I am quite confident that he will bounce back and contribute to Al Ittihad in a positive way. As such Al Ittihad has a quite balanced squad. It may take a while for them to find the correct equilibrium though.
It is true that Ronaldo has more time in his club and Saudi Professional League than Benzema. More time for adaptation to a new club and a new league can make difference between two player's performances. It is one of reasons but I see a bigger reason is their fitness. Cristiano Ronaldo has better fitness than Benzema when both players are healthy, not injured. Benzema since his transfer to Al Ittihad, got some injuries that even affected his performances that are already limited in intensity. Hopefully Benzema will recover from injuries and can play rest of season with more appearances for Al Ittihad. I really want to see interesting race between Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema as a best scorer in Saudi Professional League. |

Great to see Roobet has launched its Halloween Art contest. It seems we have tight window of 20 days from the start of contest and it’s good since Halloween was already done yet Roobet decided to dazzle us with its continued artwork contest. I am not sure if it is users love towards Roobet OR its Roobet charm to keep up with these artwork contest but both of them just look perfect every year. I can’t believe it these contests keep coming and coming. Roobet enthusiasm on this forum is just amazing towards their fanbase. Many artist finding it as close contest as its non ending with unlimited chances to win. So keep trying guys if you have not won already. Better look for previous entries and understand what Mr Roo really loves in their closet and desk.  Good luck to all. It's not a first time Roobet launch their Art Contest and they indeed launched many art contests, for events like Halloween, Christmas, New Year and usually with each of four seasons every year, they have contests for Roobet users and community too. Roobet actually makes their name as one of biggest and most trusted cryptocurrency gambling casinos. I think of an idea to launch a casino's native cryptocurrency. Why Roobet team don't think about it? They can have a team to build their own blockchain or can use available blockchain to launch their token. Another option is building a partnership with a blockchain team to do this. Launching a token is not difficult, it's easy and scammers do it with thousands of scam tokens without any value for community. Roobet team only have to think very carefully about tokenomics for their token. It's headache. I hope to get an answer from Roobet's representative in Bitcointalk about this idea. |

Central banks, commercial banks are not related to cryptocurrencies, stable coins.
Central banks can print their fiat currencies without gold back behind because the gold standard was over decades ago. Their fiat currencies with high inflation have decreasing purchasing power with time.
Cryptocurrency companies, stable coin companies can use Mint function in Smart contract to mint their stable coins without US dollar or fiat currency or gold back in their treasuries. They claim that their stable coins have good pegs because their treasuries have enough and equivalent assets for their stable coins. However we can not trust them and the fiasco of Terra UST stable coin as well as failure of Terra Foundation Guard to protect that stable coin peg is very bloody lesson.

Exchanges can have bugs or buy/ sell walls from whales lift up suddenly that cause a price to move up or down too much.
Trading view can have bug that cause incorrect price data.
Marketcap websites like Coinmarketcap, Coingecko, Messari and the likes can have bugs too.
Don't take those screenshots or even real bugs seriously because price is not displayed correctly.
What you must be serious is your bitcoin. What you are doing, is it safe for your bitcoin?
Do you store your bitcoin on centralized exchanges?
Do you use leverage for your trading?
If you are doing risky activities, you can lose your bitcoins even without those buggy time travelling chart.

Nothing can guarantee any safety from hackers. Whatever you do, will only increase your chance of not getting hacked. Also moving from one account to another will not guarantee anything at all.
The best you can do is to have two factor authentication enabled. Where every outgoing transaction will have to be validated by two factor authentication. That will provide you with the similar level of security like rotating accounts.
To be honest nothing can really guarantee any safety from hacker.
I agree. Multi-sig wallet, cold storage wallet, airgap wallet can be helpful with better security and safety but nothing can guarantee 100% safety. In my post, I emphasized the importance of having different wallets on different devices and locations. To have all of devices, wallets compromised will be harder than have one device and wallet compromised. Diversify your bitcoin in different wallet softwares and have different wallets to store your bitcoin on different devices. |

Where exactly do most stores accept BTC? Because I have a feeling that it's the opposite and only a tiny minority of businesses accepts BTC.
I think it's foolish to argue that Bitcoin is not widely accepted, but not widely accepted money is still money. Bitcoin has liquidity, fungibility, it's resistant to damage and has a lot of other properties that are desirable in money.
Bitcoin adoption has been increasing exponentially since 2009 but not all or most stores globally accept Bitcoin. It is exaggerating narrative talk. View the map for cryptocurrency ATMs & merchants (includes Bitcoin) and today it has 32196 venues. It is a very small number compares to all stores the human civilization has globally. Simply watch heats on the map can help us to see how adoption for Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies spread globally. |

Revolut use many third party services and I don't know what partner services they are using but if they rely on third-party services to proceed deposit and withdrawal of their users, there are potentially delays from their partner companies. If they use service like Bitgo, example, and Bitgo has maintenance or issue, they will not credit any deposit to user account on Revolut. Cryptocurrency termsRefusing your instructions
We may refuse your instructions to deposit or withdraw cryptoassets when:
There are not enough cryptoassets available in your pocket.
We, or one of the exchanges or third parties we work with to provide our crypto services, are not available (for example, due to service disruption or scheduled maintenance).
We have good reason to suspect that your instruction was for illegal purposes (for example, to commit fraud).
We have good reason to believe that your instruction could badly affect our reputation or goodwill.

The amount of BTC OP mentioned is pretty high and I am not sure it is a typo mistake or not but I think OP was trying to say $392,000 worth of BTC.
I wonder if a rich people does not know about basics because it started with how they got that fortune? If they got bitcoin years ago, with many years in this market, they already knew how to make it right, buying, selling, KYC issues. To sell that much amount on a centralized exchange is the only option right now, and you can not use all the exchanges as the 12B worth of BTC you are talking about. It will be hard for even an exchange like binance to take on that load. I am surprised to see someone with 12B worth of BTC who doesn't know how to sell bitcoin in the open market and I think the owner of that BTC is in a difficult position right now because his law enforcement authority will hunt him down as soon as they learn about these findings.
Whales don't sell all bitcoins they have with one single order because it can cause a dump in the market. It can create panic that can cause them loss in value of their selling too. In trading and investment theory, they teach us that there is a Distribution phase for whales, market makers to take profit gradually and distribute their coins, stocks to amateur traders, investors. They must do distributions gradually, over many months and the crowd even don't know that top already touched so that they will continue buying from whales, market markers with belief that market will go up again, will make a higher top. |

If a whale investor has done well to DCA Bitcoins and have accumulated enough for a while now, and is trying to keep such enormous amount of Bitcoin safe from hackers or scammers, is one of the best ways not to just rotate the DCA holdings annually or periodically between safer wallets, to keep it safe?
Does such kind of rotation of holdings guarantee it's safe from hackers or scammers?
To have safe storage for your bitcoin and same for your capital, you should never store all you have (bitcoin, capital, cash) in one place, one account, one wallet. Storing your bitcoins in different wallets and if anything goes wrong with one wallet, one device, you will have one or more wallets to use and this method of diversifying storage can help you losing all bitcoin, all capital with a single accident, hack, compromise. I don't think moving your bitcoin around wallets can be helpful because if your device is compromised and all information about all wallets are stored at it, it can not help. |

So, what's your take on CEX platforms integrating DEX capabilities?
They, centralized exchanges, can create their Decentralized exchanges. You can use their DEX or refuse to use their DEX but with different reasons to accept their DEX product or worry about it and don't use it. Is it a good platform that is decentralized if it is built up by a centralized team with many members like founders, core members, compliance and marketing team members are known by governments and the public? It is not good and if you think their DEX is actually decentralized, you have to correct your thinking. A true decentralized exchange must be built by an anonymous team to help it can not be shut down by arresting a founder or a core team member. |

I don't think if Mbappé was going to be really out of the team. In fact, Enrique needs this player and he doesn't want to lose him even if he made a mistake still Mbappé is a good player with perfect performance in PSG and he is definitely effective there, that's enough to say PSG was not actually planning to start the season without Mbappé.
Hierin Dembele was also not related to Mbappé and we can see both players are playing at the same time for PSG.
PSG are trying to buy and use more French players as well as give more opportunities to their home-grown players. I guess, is this their new strategy to give Mbappe more comfort and is one of their tools to convince the player staying in Paris more years? PSG and Enrique surely will have to use Mbappe in rest of season as he is their best attacking player, a biggest and brighest star player in this season. If they did not want to use him, they would have done it since September. In addition, PSG will have to face with pressure from the French President, French fans as Mbappe is a most important player of French national team. By combining many reasons, I believe Mbappe will have chance to play in PSG if he won't get any injury. This season is very last chance for Mbappe to win Champions League with PSG and for the club, it is very last opportunity to break the intention of Mbappe to join Real Madrid. |

Al Hilal is still the best team in the SPL until this week, they are unbeaten, while Al Nassr has lost 2 times and Ittihad has lost 3 times. Mitrovic is increasingly chasing Cristiano Ronaldo in the list of top scorers with 9 goals so far, he is the right purchase for Al Hilal besides Neymar.
Al Nassr after poor beginning, actually are coming back very strongly and they are create pressure on Al Hilal. With 7 points less than Al Hilal but have one less match than Al Hilal, Al Nassr can reduce the gap to only four points that are not too close but not too far gap between two clubs. Cristiano Ronaldo are playing better in this season for Al Nassr after having a half of last match to adapt to a new club and Saudi Professional League. A latest goal scored by Cristiano is like a goal from a young player, not a player who is already 38 years old. What a legendary player! I see that Ittihad is having difficulty catching up with Al Nassr and Al Hilal and they are not even having any luck facing Al Shabab.
I did not expect Al Ittihad to play poorly like this and if they continue this form, they will lose the crown to either Al Hilal or Al Nassr. It's hard for them to defend their trophy if they won't improve a lot and soon enough. |

 https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1720570612697960609Based on the news from Fabrizio, it is quite easy for me to conclude that Erik Ten Hag actually takes too much care of the players internal affairs. He seemed as if everything had to be a matter of both external and internal matters, whether it was a personal matter. It's very strange and clear that there is some kind of pressure that the players feel coming from Erik Ten Hag, the new coach who is now very keen to get involved in the internal affairs of his players. I don't think Rashford needs to apologize because what he did was outside the club. Doing entertainment is simply a form of reflecting on bad matches. Players need calm to find their game again. Erik Ten Hag was quite excessive even though Rashford admitted he was wrong, but still the coach's internal affairs should not be involved. Rashford will be like another overrated players in Premier League. He is an English player so he is like Theo Walcott, Wilshere and some genius players in England. He has talent, I agree, but I confidently say at his age now 26 years-old, he will not be able to reach to a world-class player as many people expected that he can achieve it. The past season is something excellent, a best season in his career, but a little bit of performance decrease in second half of last season and a continuation of worse performance in this season, gives me feeling that Rashford already hits his limit. He will not grow up to be a better player, 26 years-old is best time in career of a player. Manchester United performance in the Premier League is indeed bad and that is because of Erik Ten Hag's own strategy. As for the players, they followed what was instructed, even though they didn't accept it, Erik Ten Hag was still the first to be blamed. As the days go by, I realize that Manchester United made the wrong decision to choose the coach from Belnada.
Ten Hag treated badly with Antony when the Brazilian had personal problems but Rashford is more important for him and Manchester United. He treated Rashford in a different way than with Antony and it will be foundation for internal issues. Star players will look around and see how Ten Hag treat them unfairly, inconsistently and they will react negatively. It all together will affect general performance of the team. |
