So if you are new to crypto, always do your own research before investing.
Old or new in cryptocurrency market, you always have to do your own research DYOR before investing.

Being an old person in this market does not mean you don't have to DYOR before investing. Because whenever you want to invest in one project, you must DYOR about it if you don't want to bindly invest in a scam project and lose your capital.

But unfortunately, this season Liverpool will only play in the Europa League because Liverpool failed to finish in the top four last season. But even so, it certainly doesn't matter, because the Europa League is also still a big competition that will also be targeted for Liverpool to win the title there.
Don't play in Champions League will be less pressure for Liverpool but Europa League will be more easily and less pressure with them but definitely it won't be pressure-free. I am sure Liverpool will want to go as far as possible in Europa League and if they see opportunity to win it, they will do their best. It will require them to actually focus on Europa League if they go deep in knock out phase and it will impact their play resource, fitness and concentration for Premier League.

Quote
Also about Liverpool next match in the Premier League against Aston Villa, I still think that Aston Villa is also not a weak team.
Aston Villa were strong in the last season and in this season, they only have 1 point less than Liverpool after three matches.

They are in top of the table and will have to beat each other to maintain their position. With Liverpool, they will want three points to race with Manchester City as they don't have a humble target like top four.

I don't know, I never saw that because seeing from the drama that happened before was a condition where the high price did not match his age, not unsure of his performance because when he was at Tottenham, which is EPL in terms of tension and atmosphere, Kane could play impressively, let alone in the Bundesliga where the atmosphere and tension and conditions are lighter, so the clear confidence that Kane can play and be competitive must have happened.
It makes sense with their worry about Kane transfer but one more worry is about competitiveness in Bundesliga will become less interesting. Because with Kane appearance for Bayern Munich, they will dominate Bundesliga more. His appearance in Bayern Munich and Bundesliga is not good for the league in general.

Quote
He scored a brace in this match which makes him competing in the top score more likely to happen.

Now looking at the current conditions with good confidence from Tuchel and the Bayern players it looks like this will be an easy season after the previous season was very difficult for Bayern.
He scored and he assisted his team mates that are some of his best skills and with his early matches for Bayern, we can say pressure on his shoulders starts to be eliminated. Bayern Munich actually expect more from Kane but at least with early appearances, he did not have poor performances that if happen, would have resulted in more pressure on Kane.

Tuchel must have his plans as well as different tactics to maximize contributions from Kane including his passing skills.

After all these years Bitcoin still remains an investment rather than a daily payment system, will there ever come a day where Bitcoin will be use generally as a paying system instead of what we are seeing right now?
People use bitcoin as an investment asset, a payment mean, a trading mean, a gambing mean or a collateral and whatever else.

I am unsure that the majority use it as an investment or payment mean or trading mean. How did you the majority are using it as an investment but not as one of others?

Is it your guess only and you don't base on anything to write this?

With many transactions daily, Bitcoin network fullfils its peer to peer payment function.

408,959 transactions last 24 hours.

Manchester City has consistently performed well in the last season. And the team has maintained consistency in this season as well. Manchester city dominated and won the first three matches of the season. Manchester cty is occupying the top spot in the table with 9 points from 3 matches. Manchester city's main rivals liverpool and arsenal have earned 7 points in 3 matches. However, there is no doubt that Manchester city's overall performance is stable and strong.
Manchester City are not only a strongest club or one of strongest clubs in Premier League recent years, but they also have a deepest team in Premier League. With very deep team, in seasons they are not strongest, they can win Premier League because they have abundant substitution players on bench and their contributions are quality enough.

Opponents of Manchester City are either weaker or have thinner teams so in general, they have worse performances and less total points than Manchester City.

Quote
However, we are yet to see a better performance from City's Haaland. Haaland scored his first goal against Sheffield United. However, Haaland's performance in the entire match was not very good. Haaland needs to work harder as he is City's leading scorer. If Haaland is not in good form, it will be difficult for City to maintain consistency in the Champions League.
Haaland seems to be constrained more in this season. I don't think his not so good performances in first three matches is only because he is not in his best form. It is mainly because clubs, coaches and players in Premier League already understood more about Haaland.

He will have big challenge to repeat his scoring record in the past season or come closely to it.

Dusan Vlahovic again scored a goal that was quite impressive unfortunately it was not enough to bring his team to get 3 points in the home game, Bologna managed to balance the home team's game and after Vlahovic's goal was annulled by the referee, the away team was quite consistent in keeping their defense making it very difficult for Juventus to score goals, fortunately Vlahovic managed to score a goal which is quite crucial because the home game and losing is not a good thing for Juventus, who this season are improving the condition of their team, which experienced many things last season.
Missing 3 points from this match, Juventus lost their chance to continue a race with top clubs. Vlahovic after some drama in the summer that he will be sold out, officially stays at Juventus and he will be their main striker in this season.

His quality is undoubtedly good and he only needs good support from his team-mates as well as strong support from the club, coach and some good performances to get his confidence back. With a striker like Vlahovic, when he is fully confident, he will be more dangerous and surely will score more goals for Juventus.

No big differences among top clubs in Serie A after first two match days and only two clubs from Rome, AS Roma and Lazio got very poor results so far among biggest clubs.

Until now there is Napoli, Verona and AC Milan which are leading the table. I think Napoli and AC Milan will be separated by the next round since they will face Lazio and Rome respectively.
Napoli are doing their tasks very good to defend Scudetto they won in the last season. Collecting 6 points from first two matches as a title holder is very good start but they still have a long season to defend their crown.

It is a very bad way to ask for support.

If you want to get support, you must be friendly and don't use such words in the title. If a company, customer support staffs are professional, they can open to take their look at your case but if they already did it in the past, then you complained here in such way, they have rights to ignore your complain.

So if you want to get like an escalating support, you must be professional and use good words, not what you used in the title. Asking for escalating support is not a special right and receive it or not, it depends on many factors. One of such is your attitude when creating your thread.

I don't have doubt about professional of Stake.com and Primedice.com teams.

Being inactive a few months in Bitcointalk does not mean the person is dead.

Always invest only what you can loss l have said this on this platform a million times. when people cry to me about loses in BTC and other crypto's, I remind them that wailer are usually people who invested more than they can lose.
Invest what you can afford to lose does not mean you want to lose it with an investment. Practically it means if you lose what you invested, your life will still be fine and won't be affected to serious level like you will have to suicide because of your investment failure.

It is not the same with people who borrow money to buy something and say they are investing. No, they are not investing anything but are completely gambling. Because they don't have their own money, own capital to invest. Borrowing money to buy something with hope that they will get rich is gambling, not investing. Do this only if they can afford to die.

when the conflict heated up at that time PSG had plans to use Mbappe only as a substitute player but it was just a ridiculous drama because it is very unlikely that a star player will be punished by making him substitute player and every day there are more and more bad rumors so I have thoughts this is just a drama which in the end PSG will use Mbappe as its flagship player again.
PSG only makes them weaker in management aspect by using Mbappe or putting him on bench as a substitute player. They can refuse to use the player and use Mbappe as their red flag to all star players who are currently playing for the club or will join their club in future. No single player is more important than the club, PSG should make this strong signal to all players they have and will sign contracts with.

Quote
now we think realistically, for example Mbappe will only sit on the bench, it is impossible for PSG to score in the early matches of this season because Mbappe from the first appearance has contributed goals to PSG and regarding Mbappe contract I am sure that next season will be extended by one season again before PSG got a PSG replacement.
PSG must be built as a club that can win without a single star player because to win big titles, they must be a team like that. If they rely on Mbappe for goals, for winnings, how will the win Champions League where many strong opponents are experience, strong and smart enough to constrain Mbappe?
750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: August 27, 2023, 03:58:25 AM
I think Real Madrid wasted too much time while waiting on Mbappe and now Mbappe returned to play for PSG. They should have a backup plan. Real can win games with Bellingham and Vini but they can't win championship with this squad. If they don't make additions to the forward line this could be another easy season for Barcelona.
Real Madrid did not want to spend millions of dollar for a transfer of a player who has only one year in current contract. They clearly know that they will get him as a free player next summer and they are patiently enough to wait less next one year to get him. They also know that Mbappe does want to join Real Madrid and they believe PSG will not be able to win Champions League and satisfy ambition of Mbappe.

Generally why Real Madrid should spend such big transfer money for PSG when they actually can save it?

Quote
Another bad start for Sevilla. Mendilibar might lose his last season's credit soon. Atletico game next week will be crucial for them.
Sevilla again fall into trouble in La Liga and it recalls that their poor performance in La Liga last season is not an accident. Something actually bad is going on in Sevilla and they probably started a down performance of their club in La Liga. In the last two to three decades, Sevilla have been a big name in La Liga but it seems they will face with some big problems this season and in future. Nothing lasts forever and Sevilla might face with fact that they will struggle in later half of La Liga table in future.

For where did you got these valuations? Al Hilal is worth just €258 million? This might have been the case in 2020 or 2021, when they were having mostly Saudi players in their squad. The current valuation should be upwards of a billion Euros. A few months back, Paris Saint-Germain was valued at €3.2 billion. Manchester United is valued at $6 billion as of March 2023 by Forbes. Compared to these figures, I simply don't think that the numbers you have given for Al Hilal is closer to reality. Please check the source again, to see whether they are precise.
Al Hilal is a most successful club in Saudi Arabia but according to transfermarkt.com that is a trusted website, their squad's total market value is €258.95M.

Maybe you did not know about transfermarkt.com website. You can click here and sort the Market value column to see their player market values.

Most of the value is from recently bought players. Neymar €60M, Milinkovic-Savic €50M, Neves €40M, Malcom €30M, Mitrovic €28M, Koulibaly €15M, Bono €12M.

Do you think it's better to save in stable coin like usdt or I should just keep the money in the bank?
Stable coins are not safe and it's risky to store your capital in stable coins.

PSA: Most Stablecoins Can Be Frozen, Even in Your Own Wallets

Fiat currency is safer in my opinion because they are inflationary but can not depeg quickly like stable coins. It's true that storing your fiat currency in bank account is risky too.

However if choosing between stable coin and fiat currency, I choose fiat currency.

But from my point of view, the Bitcoin website that most impressed me without doubts is Secret Scan. They have a calculator where you can get the value on each step of address encryption from Hex keys to uncompressed addresses, and some other tools. (https://secretscan.org/PrivateKeyHex), A tool like this is not secure with sensitive data, but is awesome for educational proposes and understanding the Bitcoin addresses step by step. For me as a developer is awesome to see tools like this.
For learners, Learnmeabitcoin.com is one of their most favorite websites.

Mastering Bitcoin is a famous book about Bitcoin so the Github page for that book is one of most favorite ones too.

Last one I think of is Bitcoin.org as it is one of oldest websites for Bitcoin community.

Gavin will visit the CIA in April 2011. His speech to CIA 12 years ago is very iconic and CIA was convinced by Gavin that Bitcoin is not a threat to US dollar, fortunately.
755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 25, 2023, 12:52:26 PM
Yes, there is definitely a great chance of winning this game when we bet on Roma, because we know Roma didn't buy the players they wanted to buy in this summer and they didn't invest a lot compared to the other teams but still, they got a coach like Mourinho who is experienced enough to make them win these easy games. The 1.85 rate is good enough to take the risk for this match.
Roma unluckily got only 1 point from a first match at their home stadium even Belotti scored two goals. If he was lucky, he would have a hattrick and a very thin offside situation. In addition, Salernitana got three perfect shots from Candreva that helped them to nearly beat AS Roma at Olimpico stadium. Without such two outstanding finishes from Candreva, Roma would have gotten three points.

However, that draw is useful for Roma to reconsider their defense system and support from their midfielders. In two conceded goals from Salernitana, Roma gave him some space and time to do those excellent finishes.

Some people say Bitcoin is great to keep your money safe. I don't get that. A good way to keep your money safe means its value doesn't change much. But Bitcoin's value goes up and down a lot, so it's risky. Why trade the safety of government-backed insurance for something that can change so much?
With Bitcoin, if you use a non custodial wallet, you have private key and mnemonic seed, so you will have your own bank.

Being your own bank means you won't lose your bitcoin because of any centralized exchange, any bank. You always have your bitcoin, access to it, if you keep your device and wallet safely from hackers.

Bitcoin value and price can increase or decrease or drop to zero but it is another matter. Even Bitcoin price change, your portfolio value will change but you always have your bitcoin. It is what that advice means if you get its meaning.

I think this player often gets injured. Even when he played at the Chelsea club, the same incident had happened. He had a hip injury (if I remember correctly) and yeah he missed a few games at Chelsea. And now he is also injured again at his new club at Manchester United. I think this player is a bit unlucky. Sometimes I feel sorry for this player. Well when he has to prove the quality he has. But instead he had to suffer an injury and his position could be replaced by another player. And it's not impossible if the player who replaces him can perform better then his position may be shifted when he recovers later. It is reported that Manchester United is currently looking for players for the second tier at the club because Manchester United seems to be experiencing a midfield crisis. Because some players will leave the club.
Years after his debut for Chelsea with Frank Lampard, Mason Mount gradually lost his position in Chelsea. Because he got more injures, had less appearances for them and as consequence of his injuries, his performances became worse too.

Finally he left Chelsea and joined Manchester United with hope that his career will be revived in Old Trafford. The Manucians hoped that he will help them to have a better attacking system with more options on the front line. Such hopes nearly vanish after this injury which is a signal of tough challenge in Manchester United for Mason Mount. If he can not avoid injuries, his career will become worse with time. However, hopefully he will be like Arjen Robben who was very sensitive with injuries when he was young at Chelsea and Real Madrid but became a wiser and stronger player at Bayern Munich.

At this point it's all about getting a piece of the pie, you don't have to buy 1 Bitcoin to be a Bitcoin investor and there is nothing to rush for, you can gradually keep accumulating Bitcoin and in time you will get to your dream amount you have always wanted.
Bitcoin is well designed by allowing Bitcoin users to move it in satoshi unit and pay transaction fee in satoshi unit too. You mentioned a good point that people never have to buy 1 BTC as a condition to own bitcoin. They can buy 1, 0.1, 0.001 BTC, whatever amount that fits with their available capital.

Only condition is they must take into account on-chain transaction fee and make sure they will not have like nearly nothing after one on-chain transaction, one withdrawal from a centralized exchange. $10 or $50 is enough small capital to buy and own bitcoin but I know $10 and $50 is big capital with many people.

Quote
There is no limitation to Bitcoin's global adoption, even 1 Bitcoin can be shared among thousands of people.
By above reasons, no such limit to prevent bigger adoption for Bitcoin.

Maybe it's true that this week's match will be the first warning for Luis Enrique so he can bring PSG to their first win of the season. The loss of these players felt very influential for PSG because basically they still needed these players to strengthen the foundation, especially when a team has a star player like Mbappe, the team should be able to prioritize winning rather than having to fuss over existing conflicts.
The return of Mbappe in PSG squad gives their fans a lot of hope that their club will return to winning track. But they should think a few minutes, why do they totally rely on Mbappe for finding winnings and points even in Ligue 1?

If they continue this dependence on Mbappe, it is nearly impossible for them to lift Champions League trophy in this season or future. Enrique and PSG must have plans with which they can win without Mbappe or in matches when Mbappe plays badly.

Quote
Neymar has gone to the saudi league and maybe after this Verrati will also leave so that there will be fewer senior players left at PSG. This week PSG will face Lens and to be honest this time I feel they will again find it difficult to win this match, even though PSG are the hosts, Lens is still their competitor at the top of last season's standings. But I still hope they can secure full points at home and allow Luis Enrique to at least take a breath of fresh air for a while.
PSG have many players who have been playing for them recent years so those players are either older or no longer match with latest changes in PSG with a new coach and possibly new development strategies from PSG after recent drama with Mbappe.

Veratti actually did not have good pre-season matches and he is in sale list of PSG. In midfield, it's hard to maintain good performance when you are old and with Veratti body, it is more difficult for him to manage his good performance. At a rich club like PSG, he surely will be replaced by younger midfielders.

Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts. This reminder never loses its meaning so I believe it would be helpful if I share it again here.

Furthermore by looking at Exchange graveyard and see reasons of many exchange deaths, you will be more fearful with centralized exchanges.

By sharing those warning resources, I hope that less newbies will store their cryptocurrency capital on centralized exchange accounts and think it is a safe way.
