81  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: March 12, 2024, 03:05:16 PM
From what I read on the internet, his wife said that he will play for a maximum of 1 more year, perhaps ending his career in 2025 at the latest.

Now with All-Nassr's elimination in the Asian Champions League, and ending his chances of competing in the Club World Cup, this could be his last year as a professional football player.
He knows that chance to receive very good salary offer like from Al-Nassr will nearly never happen again so he will complete the current contract to maximize his pocket.

He also knows that returning to Europe is risky and he will receive very little offers from big clubs or no offer at all. He himself does not want to reduce his value and is not ready to play as a substitution so it's harder for him to find a new club in Europe.

By these difficulties, continue playing in Saudi Arabia is his best option and he has one more year contract so it's perfect to finish it first. Next year, no Euro, no World Cup so he will have less concern about those big tournaments.

Agree. It is almost impossible to qualify for the next round. Brighton got 4 conceded goals, it is so difficult to score 5 goals in Leg 2 and expect to have no conceded goals at all. Even if Brighton can win the match in Leg 2, I'm sure they will be winning by a narrow score. As Roma isn't a small team and they are experienced enough in international match. Under De Rossi's management, AS Roma players also have good mentality. So, I don't doubt if AS Roma can qualify for the next round to keep their hope to reach the final. Well, Brighton seems unlucky to play in UEL this season.

By the way, for the match Brighton vs AS Roma, I predict each team trying to play very carefully.
The final score may be Brighton 2 vs 3 AS Roma.  Wink
With a very big win in a first leg at home, 4 goal difference, Roma will have big chance to proactively play in the second leg in England.

With very little attacking challenge from Brighton in the first leg and with traditional good defensive power of an Italian club, Roma will be able to secure this big advantage and go to quarter finals in Europa League.

They might lose in England but will not lose with big defeat like 0 - 4 or 0 - 5 or any result with 4 goal difference for Brighton. They only need to control Brighton in the first half and avoid to get conceded goals in a first half, then Brighton will feel hopeless and Roma will have an easy second half in that home-away match.

It is a CoinJoin transaction.

The fee is overpaid 2351x and total transaction fee for that transaction is 0.33958099 BTC  ~ 23,421 USD.

I don't know it is a malfunction of a wallet software but it is a good assumption as paying such expensive overpaid fee is very abnormal.

84  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Pump Bitcoin over $70,000! on: March 12, 2024, 02:17:30 AM
Guess what? BTC has already beaten the previous ATH with a new record of $71k  and pumping.
Whereas, an analyst by the name Crypto Rover  predicted it would get up to about $102k in 21days after BTC gets to the predicted 1.618 Fibonacci extension and would would get higher of up to $120k before the expected halving event unfolds in full.

These are exciting times and everyone is anticipating what's the next step BTC makes after the halving.
Don't trust any price prediction because the market works by itself, not relies on price prediction from any newbie or expert.

I expect Bitcoin to have a shock and wash out on Bitcoin miners after its halving. When weak miners bankrupt and leave this mining industry, big mining companies will take over those sold off rigs from small and weak miners. The party will be on its right direction again and I actually see price target like $120k to $140k is very reachable for this cycle.

Quote
The approval of the spot BTC ETF has been one very good reason why there is a sudden increase in the price of BTC currently as investors are willing to acquire some spot ETF for their portfolio.
Why Are Bitcoin ETFs Such a Big Deal? Gold Provides a $100 Billion Answer.

I believe Bitcoin Spot ETFs can provide bigger impact on Bitcoin price than Gold ETFs on gold price. Because Bitcoin total supply is very limited and we all know that 19.6M bitcoins in 21M bitcoins (total supply) already mined and existed in circulating supply. There will be very little new supply in future.

And this the problem with newbies they think there is any thing as sure analysis or 90% accuracy in trading, trading has its risk and any good trader would tell you this, you woudl have both good and bad days and even worse days.
Even if there is 90% accuracy in trading, if you have bad capital management, you can lose all your capital with 10% inaccuracy.

If you have bad capital management like using all capital (100% of money you have) to trade a coin, you can lose your capital like -50%, -80% or -90% in a single trade on a single day.

So the first important thing for your trading is manage your capital well.
The next one is manage risk well.
The last one is know when to close your position and move on. Even you can not get profit, you must close it and move on.

Now Arsenal and Liverpool have the same 64 points and Manchester City is only slightly smaller with 63 points, we will still be presented with fierce competition between these three teams until the end of the season and it will also be increasingly difficult to guess the winner. To be honest, I have the same thought that Liverpool is more deserving of winning the title this season and I am also tired of Arsenal's game which is sometimes not very consistent or even Manchester City always gets miracles in winning the title. Apart from all that, this is indeed the journey of an ongoing competition and no one knows when things will get closer.
Three competitors with only small differences, one point and goal difference, this competition in Premier League is very tight for all three clubs.

This week Super Sunday ended with a draw for Liverpool and Manchester City so it gave Arsenal a chance to take over the first position. Next week, Arsenal will meet Manchester City home away and they will have big challenge from Manchester City. Liverpool will have similar chance like Arsenal this week.

If that match ends with a draw again, we will see not big changes on the table and three teams will continue their tight race. Their next performances against other clubs include small clubs will decide who will win the title. By this vision, I see bigger chance for Liverpool and Manchester City as Arsenal don't have good habit when a season comes to last weeks.
88  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: March 11, 2024, 06:19:48 AM
Real Madrid are going to win the title with the great performance they are currently doing and they will definitely be the champions. It is clear that Barcelona and Girona are trying hard to catch Real Madrid but they are not able to catch Real Madrid. Real Madrid have already performed so well and are so far up the points table that all the other teams have a long way to go to reach this point which is not easy. Real Madrid's win against Celta has moved them further up the points table and they have come a long way towards winning the title and they are one of the strongest teams in La Liga this season. A strong attack and victory against Celta confirmed that they are strong enough to be champions this season. Real Madrid have proved that they will be champions in La Liga this season and leaving them behind may not be possible with the current teams.
This win helps Real Madrid to reclaim a 7 point difference against Girona and maintain their big advantage against the competitor and 8 point difference against Barcelona to secure their high chance to win La Liga.

Girona with their win also secure their position in top four, now they are standing at the second position and have good gaps against clubs in the fourth and fifth positions. With 7 points more than the fourth and 9 points more than the fifth position, Girona looks to be safe if they only aim at a position in top four. They are given chance to end in top four with bad results from Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club. Top four if achieved, will be big success for Girona already and it was not what they hope for when this season started.
89  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: March 10, 2024, 08:32:45 AM
Girona have built a quality club and strong players this season. Girona is seven points clear from Atletico Madrid, and they are 2 points clear from Barcelona. Girona was able to score a second goal, after much effort which they put in to be able to find the back of the net the second time. Savio was able to take a shot on the 86th minutes to seal up their victory, and left their visitors hopeless, with no point in the match.
Girona back to winning and they have 4 points less than Real Madrid but already play one match more than Real Madrid. At least this winning helps them to relax a little bit and secure their second position against pressure from Barcelona. It helps them to feel safely from Atletico Madrid with 7 points more than that competitor  and with good difference against Athletic Club, their chance to stay in top four looks good enough.

Quote
Girona have played 10 straight games at home unbeaten,and this is a good record for them. Osassuna was unable to score any goal and allowed their host to win them on clean sheet. Portu was the MVP of the match because he scored the first goal which made Girona to stay strong in the game, until the back up goal was scored.
Osasuna is not a strong but not a weak team so this winning is meaningful for Girona. They not only got three points but also got a winning to redeem their confidence for a rest adventure in this season. Even if Athletic Club win, Girona will still have 9 points more than that competitor and it seems to be a safe gap for them to defend a position in top four.

Black Rock does not and will not control BTC if you implied about control on Bitcoin network.

They can have big shares in Bitcoin circulating supply but control the network, they won't have that power.

Black Rock started to show something big in the last year by investing in 4 of 5 biggest Bitcoin mining companies.

BlackRock is a major shareholder in 4 of the 5 largest Bitcoin miners. And they also spent their resources for Bitcoin Spot ETF application against SEC. Finally they succeeded and they are buying a lot of bitcoin last 40 days. Already surpassed MicroStrategy as a biggest public company holds Bitcoin.

I agree with you.
The live support is really something bc should put some work and resources in since it is really too slow and not really on point. As I have mentioned before it is not industry standard to wait 15-20min for a reply and then another 10-15 for every message that comes next.
At other sites I use the experience is much different, waiting like 2min max for a first response mostly. And once the conversation has started the next messages always come fast.
But hey, nobody is perfect. There is always room for improvement
BC.Game are in this industry for long to know that the cryptocurrency market and crypto gambling industry is highly competitive. They have many competitors in this industry so by going like an outlier in support procedure, longer waiting time than competitors, they self-create disadvantage for themselves.

There are always rooms for improvement and the ball is in control of BC.Game. It's just fine that users eventually got what they want but delays certainly create some inconvenience and in a bull run, can cost users lost in value of their cryptocurrency.

In a bear market, the business can have difficulty in operations than in bull market and has to cut down their staff resource includes customer care staffs so their support can be longer. Though, it can be acceptable in a bear market, in a bull market, in my opinion, they should handle it with faster rate and less waiting time for users.

Everton started the game looking like they had a flying start, but then Manchester United gained control and then won a penalty, with Bruno Fernandes scoring from the penalty kick, making it months later. In the first half, Fernandes came very close to scoring a goal and then a free kick, but the goalkeeper saved that sharp shot with good timing.

Garnacho gave Manchester United a comfortable victory with two penalties. Rasford took the second penalty and scored an clean shot.
Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford scored two goals from penalties for Manchester United but the man of the match is Garnacho. He deserves it by making dribbles directly into the box and brought two penalties for his team.

It is a bit disappointed for Garnacho as he could not find a goal for himself in this match. Even so two assists to help his team winning is very good performance from him. Some people want to bring Greenwood back and replace Garnacho but I see it is unfair for Garnacho. He deserves to have a good position in Manchester United, maybe not a solid position in their quad but is godd enough to be used regularly.
93  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Bank - Safely store your bitcoin on: March 09, 2024, 07:07:03 PM
My idea would be to create a bank to safely store people's bitcoin and other crypto for people who just want to hold for a lot of time.
Own Bitcoin private keys and have your own bank.
Not your keys, not your bitcoins.

By that, who needs your custodian Bitcoin bank as they will not have keys, not have coins?

Quote
They would register with the passport or ID, it would cost 100 GBP + 1% to deposit and verify people's identities.
They can store their bitcoin by themselves, being non-custodian without any service fee, and without KYC.

Why KYC is extremely dangerous - and useless

Quote
Then, to withdraw, it would take 3 months, they would have to show the passport and have a meeting via zoom once a month during 3 months stating they would want to withdraw, it would cost 300 USD plus 1% of the value.
It would compensate for people who want to hold for a lot of time without having security concerns.
Waiting three months for withdrawal, damn no one will use your service.

Being non custodian, people can send their bitcoin permissionless and don't have to wait 3 months like your service.

OMG, it's ended
1 : 1
draw match
With this draw, Napoli will see top four becomes 10 points far if Bologna win their match. 8 points, before this match of Napoli, are already big and too far to catch Bologna. Now if it will actually expand to 10 points, it's like Napoli already officially fail in this race. They also have to race with two above clubs Roma and Atalanta so Napoli have very small chance to beat all three competitors above to take the fourth position.

Quote
How pity Napoli

It's quite unfortunate to see the results. because the euphoria regarding Napoli's performance so far is still quite good. especially under their new coach. And here, Napoli really have a bigger chance to win. but why? Why?
Napoli just return to their usual form in this season, with unstable form, and their recent good performances again can not help them to prolong it and maintain their hope in top four competition.

Napoli will have to focus on a next match with Barcelona and try to win it. If they beat Barcelona, they will have Champions League quarter finals similarly to what they reached to in the past season. It will be light in this failed season for Napoli and beating Barcelona at Nou Camp will be a good record for their club history.

Last week, cheapest fee rates you can use to move your bitcoins are about 8 to 9 satoshi/vbyte. Not cheaper fee rates recent days and as of writing, you will have to use 30+ sat/vbyte to be on tip of mempool.

If you can wait for Saturday and Sunday, weekends can help you to see mempools drop a little and you will have cheaper fee rates than 30 sat/vbyte, like down to 14 sat/vbyte. I don't expect it to give us cheaper fee rates than 14 sat/vbyte.

If you want to bump your fee, consider to use higher than 14 sat/vbyte.

There is no doubt this is good news for the Liverpool and all soccer fans things are coming back to normal for the Mohammad Salah and hopefully in today game we will have his spot into Liverpool side even this will be not for long time but still most chances he will be able to play which will give good confidence to him and his side as well before big game against Manchester City which is also coming in few days and this will be also very important for the title race because these both are having just one point difference and this match's result will give better view how things will be gone.
His return is a good supplementary power for Liverpool attacking system but they need Salah for a Super Sunday with Manchester City than this match. The match with Manchester City is a big one and important to decide who will get advantage in Premier League title race. I believe Liverpool will try to reserve Salah for that match in Premier League than in Europa League.

Quote
Mostly peoples are feeling Sparta Prague will be not tough team but for me, they are not easy team with their performance level is also good, and they can give shock to any team at this level which will be interesting hopefully Liverpool will be not taken them easily and will give their best for this year's title as they are good but still need to be good for any team.
They can beat Sparta without Salah and even will aim at a draw in the first leg before handling this opponent in the second leg. Using Salah too soon will bring more risk than benefit for Liverpool and with one more match to play against Sparta, Liverpool have very little reason to use Salah in this match. Their alternative players can help them to beat Sparta too.

If you think this is the best decision for you to make at this point then good for you because no one can predict the future of the market. The best time to buy Bitcoin is when the price of Bitcoin is very low, and right now the price of Bitcoin has really increase to higher amount , it is important for people to understand the market and not to rush into the market to buy because buy Bitcoin because of the price of Bitcoin is increasing.
Best time to buy Bitcoin is time you have money to buy it and at your affordable price. Assume you always have spare money for investment, best time for buying is in a bear market that was in 2022 and 2023, better is in 2023.

Now the market is already in a bullish mode so is it still a good time to buy?
It is still a good time for buying if you expect Bitcoin to make a new all time high for this bull run and expect that it won't be less than x2 from $69,000.

This time people should apply buying bitcoin with amount one can afford to loss and not to enter the market with Greed to make big profit because of the price of bitcoin is increasing .

I predicted an easy win for Real Madrid against the Red Bull team in the 2nd leg in Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid are the top team in La Liga while Leipzig is struggling in Bundesliga but the game between them were completely different from what I expected. It's not a 1-1 draw because of a lucky or counter offensive goal, Leipzig was playing better than Real Madrid in most of it. Real Madrid did win the knockout due to lead in Red Bull Arena. They were thought to favourite team for the Champions league title but now they seem to be defeatable.
On another knockout Manchester City defeated the Copenhagen as expected.
Leipzig tried to win at Bernabeu and after they equalized it, Olmo created a shot which hit the cross bar of Real Madrid. They came so closely to extra halfs and made Real Madrid fearful with that shot and some pressure in late of second half.

The performance of Leipzig at Bernabeu is very good and they can proud of themselves with this performance. I disagree to say Leipzig had it because of Real Madrid poor performance as in reality they worked to have it.

Real Madrid is another name qualified for quarter finals together with Bayern Munich, PSG and Manchester City. So far we have all big names for quarter finals, 4 more names will be known next week.

Tuchel's surprise came unexpectedly, as multiple sources had indicated that Bayern was fully prepared to terminate his contract. Despite this, the club performed better than in the previous leg, which also surprised a lot of people. Bayern's recent performance has left me feeling absolutely wonderful. They preferred to play freely, without any constraints that would impact player performance.
This win helps Bayern Munich to go to quarter finals but I really don't see it will help Tuchel to save his job in Munich. They are preparing to sack him, terminate the contract and perhaps only wait for the season ending to do this. Meanwhile, they also need time to filter potential coaches and deal with them before finalize things with a new coach. Tuchel career in Bayern Munich is actually counting down match by match.

Quote
Sarri could not even motivate his team to score a single goal in the second match. This allows Tuchel to stay at Bayern Munich for a longer period. I am confident that officials sent him an ultimatum regarding the likelihood of him being fired if Bayern failed to qualify for the quarterfinals.
Lazio came closely to have a goal but Luiz Alberto wasted that chance and Sarri as a coach, can not play on behalf of his players who are weaker than Bayern Munich players.

Quote
Bayern has been having a wild time lately. Kane has been doing great in that game. Tuchel must ensure that his club maintains this performance level until the season's end.
Kane plays very important role in this win of Bayern Munich, two goals from Kane helps Bayern Munich to avoid being kicked out at their home stadium. The first goal is very important as it helps Bayern Munich to play more easily and avoid a shock from Lazio.

Please interpret it in a right way.

There is only one Bitcoin in cryptocurrency market and there are many altcoins, more with years. In quantity, altcoins dominate Bitcoin but do you see a fact that Bitcoin still dominates cryptocurrency market?

It shows Bitcoin power, strength and dominance in marketcap. Developers can create many altcoins and they are more actively with creating new altcoins in bull market. In a bear market, those altcoins will die, most of them will die and you can see this fact with Bitcoin dominance increases in past bear markets.
