Does your wallet address or the wallet itself shows your name or anything that can show your identity to someone? No, it doesn't, and that is the reason why Bitcoin is said to be pseudonymous which means that one can see your transactions or the balance but they can't know who is actually behind that wallet and that is enough privacy in my opinion. No one will ever know that a certain wallet is yours unless you have given your address to someone yourself and told them that it's your wallet address.
With only a public address, nobody can identify who owns that address if you don't let others know you are the owner.

If you use a throw away account to post that address and if you don't let any possible trace to your identity from that account, you are anonymous owner of that Bitcoin public address.

Like Satoshi Nakamoto's identity is still unknown after many years and we only know about public addresses posted by Satoshi Nakamoto. The public address can not help you to be anonymous if you have other bad practices with your coins and addresses.

Yes maybe you are right that in terms of performance Real Madrid is superior today, on the other hand also Barcelona about Lewandowski is still injured and that is quite hitting Barcelona so far, maybe de jong is a pretty good option to replace Lewandowski if he still can't compete, so we still have hope for Barcelona in this match,  As long as Lewandowski can recover and compete in the El Clasico match I think Ancelotti can't have much chance of winning, plus the match is at the Camp Nou stadium, it will give more aura for Barcelona to beat Real Madrid at home. Xavi won't allow himself to be bullied in the place he uses for his players' daily training.
When signing with Lewandowski in the last season, Barcelona did not expect to see he gets more injuries and has less contribution for them after only one season. They already succeed with Lewandowksi in the last season, won La Liga together but this season will be more difficult for them. Real Madrid lost Benzema but had Jude Bellingham and some new players. They are a giant club in La Liga and have big ambition to take La Liga trophy back so they will not let Barcelona easily to defend the title.

The absence of Lewandowksi is not worst but his less impressive performance will have negative important impact on Barcelona in general. This will contribute to decide a winner of La Liga but Barcelona luckily got Joao Felix from another Madrid club. The Portugal player together with a big discovery Yamal, might help Barcelona to secure the crown. Barcelona will have to hope that Jude Bellingham will not prolong his good performance and goal scoring for too long.

I'm sure MU will do it. they will spend big in the transfer market, but that will also open up several players to leave the team as well. Ten Hag definitely has big plans. but their current problem is the defense line. it must be anticipated and Ten Hag must find a solution as soon as possible.
they can negotiate now, but the team will not wait until the next transfer window. Ten Hag must work hard to make MU's defense better. Their defense line looks very bad.
Will spend big?

They already spent a lot of money for transfers over years and will they continue spending big? I think they will do it but will it help them to improve their squad?

Honestly I don't know because they must change their strategy on transfer market. Buying players for positions they need to improve in quality rather than buying one or two players at positions they are already good but ignore weakness in other positions. They did it recent seasons and their squad is still weak especially in defense so without good defense, they always play with fear in their matches. Their good streak can be broken by a bad match in defense and with not strong defense, they can not win titles.

It seems like everything has to be based on our own goal of making money. As you said, if we are preparing for the future then of course being a long-term holder could potentially make us have big profits in the future. But we also have to be prepared for the risks.
You can not hold your bitcoin if you don't store it in good wallets. Assume you store your coins on centralized exchanges, it's not like holding but you are speculating Bitcoin will pump tomorrow, any time and you want to be always ready for selling it after a few seconds. However, the risk to store coins in online accounts is very big and if you can wait like 10 to 20 minutes, for 1 or 2 confirmations of a deposit, you will be safer by storing your bitcoins in your wallet.

It does not need to store your coins on centralized exchanges some months just to save a few minutes of waiting. Convenience is not actually big but risk is huge.

Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts

It would be interesting to get some feedback on this thread from the OP, especially in light of what was pointed out here in the first instance, and then subsequently refined both here and here.
With these findings, OP chance to get merit in the thread is zero.

Quote
Maybe he’s hoping for things to just blow away, though it’s something that can bite back at any point in time. Before worrying about earing Merits I’d be more concerned with what the wallet address seem to be pointing at through the linked accounts …
He just does boring things and hope his boring posts can earn merit. It did not work and he tried to create some topics to again hope gaining merit with boring threads.
If you view the forum as some sort of "job" where you complete some basic tasks and get paid, then you will almost certainly be disappointed, and the forum administration will not be sympathetic. If you do make money using the forum, then it will be through innovation and entrepreneurship, not any sort of mindless busywork.

He only did opposite things than what is advised by the admin in welcome message.
When you start out, you are a Newbie, and you will run into various annoying limits. These limits will be reduced to the point where you shouldn't usually notice them after you have participated in the forum for a few weeks. If you are on the forum to talk, then that's all you really need to know about rank. Don't worry about it too much, and you will eventually rank up.

If you want to maximize your rank, then you need to increase two statistics which are listed on your profile:
  • Activity, which is maximized by posting once per day on average. Posting more than that is useless in raising your activity.
  • Merit, which is gained by making good posts.

If you make ten thousand posts in a week, your activity will be capped and you will still be a Newbie. If you make ten thousand useless posts over any period of time, you will gain zero merit and you will still be a Newbie. You can rank up only by making good posts consistently. It's quality over quantity.

When trying to write quality posts, a lot of people act as though they're writing a book report for school: putting facts that we already know into their own words. Nobody wants to read that, and you will not get merit for it. Moreover, the length of your post and the quality of your English are only minor factors. In trying to write a quality post worthy of merit, you should offer new ideas, personal experiences, or perspectives that other forum users will actually find new and interesting.

I often hear that improvements of mining technology (more hashes per kWh) would improve Bitcoin energy usage. Isn't that just a misunderstanding?
It is true, not misunderstanding.

Bitcoin electricity consumption: an improved assessment. CBECI adjusted their methodology for their Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index too.

See these two figures which shows the improvement of Bitcoin mining rigs including ASICs and difference between old and new methodologies. The report is very insightful that can answer your questions and even can enlighten you more.

When you have mental, psychology, stress issues, you must stop using your brain and break your time in front of computers or smart phones. Digital devices are harmful for your health and mental health so when you feel like issues are coming, you must change your life activities from sedentary to dynamic (non sedendary).

A more time you are more dynamic with physical activities, a more healthy life you have and you can trade better when your head is fresh and no longer full of stress.

Do more physical activities is my recommendation, not playing chess, not playing poker.

It is difficult to determine dark cloud cover without considering it a confirmatory indicator and not a main indicator because sometimes, even if the price has not approached a point of support or resistance, dark cloud cover will give false results because the trading trend cannot be reversed outside a price range without breaking the support or resistance from a candle. One closed, meaning the price decreases, but not to a profitable extent.
If you can give us examples of dark cloud cover occurring in Bitcoin trading, you may be able to convey the information better.
I would like to focus on trading volume because some candles can look interesting but without good signals from trading volume at or around those candles, they don't mean anything for my trading. Ignoring trading volume will cause big trading mistakes that I try to avoid because they will cause losses of my trading fund.

Support and resistance can be broken only with high trading volume and fake break out or break down will appear with not significant high trading volume than previous candles. The market needs trading volume to be live and need high trading volume to go up or down dramatically.

Although its hard to execute all of it but if we are eager to learn new things on trading for sure we will get use to it and proper researching will be part on our trades then it can make our decision making more better. To many technicalities needed to learn that's why many lost because they want to have a shortcut learnings and they failed to know how to do some good counter measure if some events didn't meet on their expectations.
Trading is complicated and it is not like turn on a computer, login your exchange account, click on a trading pair, glance at the chart and open a position. In trading, a trader must have ability to control activities like when to trade, when to stay away from trading.

By chasing to open trading positions, a trader will take higher risk when chance to get profit is small but risk to have loss is big. It's time to stay away from trading because if you don't trade, you don't lose money. If you trade wrongly, you lose money and might reacts as revenge the market and get more losses.

For me earning Bitcoin through signature campaigns was more convenient and simple. You just need to qualify to the campaign requirements and dedicate your time and effort creating constructive posts to get paid on a weekly basis. 
You have many ways to get bitcoin. Through signature campaign, through works like coding, designing avatars, BBcode signature in Bitcointalk and some cryptocurrency free lance platforms. Generally, you can use part of your income to buy bitcoin or can work to get bitcoin directly as your salary.

For now, since I have not met the minimum required merits earned for the last 120 days, I am still able to earn through altcoin bounties. But as soon as I got that required merit I will surely apply to Bitcoin paying campaigns.
I would advice you to stop doing bounties because you don't know how much you will receive with them. You also will spend your time for low quality tasks and also by joining bounties, you will have less reasons to make quality posts. It will not help you to earn merit and is barrier for you to join good signature campaign.

Focus on your posts and their quality, don't join bounties, after a few months, you can be chosen in good signature campaigns.
812  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: While Hodling, Don't under estimate the importance of selling. on: October 11, 2023, 02:01:28 PM
We all know that Crypto is a long term investment but not all. Many people buy memecoins and some other coins with no use case to make money but they listen to influencers and keep holding after making huge profit to later end up at loss.
By buying meme coins, meme tokens, they are speculators, not investors.
By holding those meme coins, they are gambling that they will get profit and ignore advise, warning that they will lose money with meme coins.

Because they basically are greed, if they sell those memecoins, I believe they will come back with money and buy other meme coins or other shitcoins. Eventually they will not be able to protect their earned profit or even fail to protect their initial capital.

Well said. Mancity is likely to lose that match they they play defensively like they did against Arsenal. One mistake that Guardiola will make in this match too is by allowing Brighton net the ball in the first instance. That I feel will reduce the fear the club may have over Man City and develop more confidence for them to score more goals. An opportunity that should be strongly avoided by Pep in the first place. I know Brighton for one thing. Their ability to score goals with their forward.
Arsenal played well and found a winning goal when a match is coming to ending so Manchester City did not have enough time to equalize. Arsenal also tightened their defense system well to end that match with a minimum goal difference. It's a big match and one goal difference is enough but this win means more for Arsenal. They will come to rest of this season with more confidence that they already upgraded since the last season and can actually beat Manchester City in a single match. It can be a foundation for them to beat Manchester City in a long season as well.

Pep Guardiola would know better than to underestimate Brighton, Roberto De Zerbi's men play one of the best kind of football in the EPL and on their day they can beat any opposition in the league. City are the team under pressure in this game, two straight losses and the players will have it at the back of their mind going into this game, three straight losses would feel like a disaster.
Brighton is still dangerous with big team and they even shown some improvements in this season and they are dangerous enough for Manchester City to be careful. After losing against Arsenal, Manchester City need a win to bounce and get back to their win streak. Brighton will not let City to easily achieve that target as they are fighting for a  position in top six and even ambitiously try their luck with top four.

Finally Eden Hazard, retired at his age of 32. His last club in his career is Real Madrid but I posted it here because a golden time of Hazard is in Chelsea and Premier League.

I see he is like Marco Van Basten and they are very unlucky with their career destroyed by serious injuries at their ankles and have to retire too early. Hazard retired when he is 32 years old but in fact his career is mostly over four years ago after his injury in a match between Real Madrid and PSG.

He used to be considered as one of most potential players together with Neymar and Bale, can challenge for Messi and Ronaldo for Ballon d'Or. It has never happened with all three players. Bale, Hazard already retired and Neymar already moved to Saudi Professional League.

Enjoy Eden Hazard retirement and hope he will find his happiness with his family.

815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 11, 2023, 08:51:05 AM
Jude Bellingham is Real Madrid's best signing this season, but everyone should be aware that he is not a striker even though he has scored 8 goals in 8 appearances in La Liga. Ancelotti emphasized that supporters should not expect too much from his performance to win every match, even if one day he doesn't score a goal, they shouldn't blame Bellingham.
He is talented and he already proved it in Dortmund as well as with England in World Cup 2022. However I really believe even Real Madrid did not expect Jude to score so many goals like this. He is their best scorer now and his stats is more similar to a striker rather than a midfielder. It's lucky for Real Madrid as in a season they have problems with their strikers (Benzema left, Joselu has yet replaced Benzema too well), Jude appears as a very goal productive attacking midfielder for them.

Quote
Real Madrid is a team that I think is not only about Bellingham. They play for the benefit of the team rather than personal interests, so they should not rely on one player even though they can provide something different throughout the match. I hope Bellingham is able to maintain his best form this season, and enable Real Madrid to win the title at the end of the season.
They still have many star players in their team and you are right, their strength is not only from Jude Bellingham. If opponents focus too much on Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid can shift their attacking power to other players and their opponents will be beaten by other players, not by Jude Bellingham. To win a title, to beat Barcelona and win La Liga, they will need to adjust their tactics and avoid being dependent too much on Jude.
816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 10, 2023, 03:43:15 PM
Yes Real Madrid need to fortify their front line more although Jude Bellingham is doing excellently in his position and getting the deserved attention, but a yong striker to compliment him will help the team a long way, and kylian mbappe who is a young striker and is willing to leave his team by the winter window will best fit that position, if Madrid could get him over I think they will have a better strike force strong enough to be formidable in the la Liga.
Real Madrid don't lack of money and they are ready to buy Mbappe two summers ago but PSG just refused to let Mbappe go. This summer, Real Madrid hesitated to buy Mbappe with expensive fee when he only has one year in the contract with PSG and almost agreed personal terms with Real Madrid.

With their reluctance to make a bomb on the transfer market, they did not buy him and considered Joselu as their temporary solution. So far Joselu performance is acceptable, not too good but not too bad. In fact Real Madrid need more goals from Joselu and he must try more. Jude suddenly rose as a brightest star in Real Madrid and carried their attacking system but he won't be able to do this forever. Even a striker can lose his goal scoring streak and Jude is only a midfielder.

I agree with that, I believe that it's either one or the other and because of that the odds should show that. I get that ATM is also a good club but I do not think that they have the experience they need to be champions again, they did that recently and that was a good period for them but right now both other teams are doing wonders with amazing new young talent as well.
Atletico Madrid was not expected to compete for La Liga trophy when the season started. But by beating Real Madrid in the Madrid derby, they proved themselves as a strong team, yes they are still strong in this season. So they are competitive enough to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona for La Liga trophy. I see it is good for La Liga as being more competitive means more attractive and exciting too.

It is clear that Arsenal will be the party who will benefit greatly if this happens. Victor Osimhen could be a better goalscoring machine if he was at Arsenal. At least that's what I thought. But we need to know that Victor Osimhen was targeted by many big clubs in the transfer market yesterday. Not only Arsenal, but Chelsea and MU are also on the list of clubs that want Victor Osimhen's services.
After Arteta left Manchester City, Pep Guardiola started to consider about a traditional striker and finally he convinced Manchester City boss to buy Erling Haaland. Mikel Arteta is affected a lot by philosophy of Pep Guardiola and I am not surprised if he is considering a traditional striker like Osimhem for his team.

With Arsenal style, Gabriel Jesus fits well as he can play as a forward or even an attacking midfielder. However if Arsenal need changes, big changes, they will need a striker like Osimhen who can score more goals for them but will contribute less for their tactic and squad operation. Like Haaland in Manchester City, his main task is scoring goal and if he can not score goal, usually he gets a bad match as he barely makes assists.

Quote
But even now I feel Arsenal are very good with the players they currently have. In fact, I feel Arsenal has become stronger than last season. Even though Arsenal is currently ranked 2nd, that's true, it doesn't matter. Because I am sure that in the near future Arsenal will rise to 1st place in the standings. Arteta has stronger ambitions than last season. He will definitely not let his guard down this season.
If Arsenal buy Osimhen, it won't happen in the winter transfer but will be in a next summer transfer. Buying a player in winter transfer market is risky as a new player will not have enough training time to adapt to a new club and new team mates. Arsenal will have to pay big transfer cost for Napoli to have Osimhen so they will wait for the summer.

Meanwhile, Arsenal on Matchday 9 will face Chelsea, the result of which is certainly difficult to predict. Because Chelsea is currently difficult to predict. Their performance was completely erratic. Sometimes they play well but then they play badly. But victory should be on Arsenal's side. Because Arsenal are much better this time. It's just that I doubt there will be many goals in this match.
Arsenal have been improving in the last four seasons with Arteta and this season, they are ready to compete for Premier League title by beating Manchester City in their direct clash. This emotional win in a Super Sunday match helps Arsenal believe more in themselves and know that Manchester City can be beaten and they can win over Manchester City too.

After beating Manchester City, facing with Chelsea will be easier in theory but Chelsea even in a crisis, are still be a big team with star players in their squad. After the break for international matches, Arsenal must return to Premier League in a match day 9 with as much carefulness as possible. They must play carefully to continue their good form and continue their race for the title.

Quote
Tottenham, after being left by H. Kane, became a more consistent team. H. Son is a captain who is able to lead the squad very well in the field. I really didn't expect Tottenham to be this good this season.
Tottenham now are like Arsenal in the past season but we already witnessed Arsenal lost their first position to Manchester City in latest weeks of the league. In a title race through a long season, experience is very important and Tottenham simply are not have enough experience in title racing.
820  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 09, 2023, 09:43:31 AM
Napoli did look a little different when Rudi Garcia was chosen to coach Napoli, they performed badly recently, the defeat against Fiorentina will probably be an evaluation material for Rudi Garcia to correct his mistakes in managing his team in the next match, I know this is not an easy task for Rudi Garcia, but as a coach of course he knows his capacity in training and that it takes time for a process that is not fast to make Napoli a great club.
It is an easy reason to say difference of Napoli between two seasons but even with a same coach, Spaletti, they will face with big difficulty in this season as they are not kind of very strong or dominating team in Italy. With an outstanding season, they can win Scudetto but defend the title is harder than winning it a first time.

Rudi Garcia should not be responsible for all performances of his players and results Napoli get. They work as a team and have to be responsible for all results together. The defeat against Fiorentina is bad and it raises a lot of question about Napoli, Rudi Garcia and their players but the season is still long and Napoli are not too far from AC Milan and Inter Milan or Juventus. They still have chance to defend Scudetto in this season and we must wait for their performances after FIFA days next weeks.

Jose Mourinho always trusts Romelu Lukaku. And because this trust between them is mutual, it always gives positive feedback. Roma didn't start the season well. But they won their last two games in the league. And they beat Servette in the UEFA Europa League. We can say that they have had good results in recent weeks. If they can maintain this performance for a few more weeks, they can continue to get stable results. Next week they will play Monza, one of the good teams in the league. Then they will play Inter. The Inter game will be a difficult test for Roma. But it will also be a difficult test for Romelu Lukaku. I'm sure the Inter fans won't give him a warm welcome.
Lukaku is like Drogba, Ibrahimovic with good talent, strong physical strength, high ambition, high ego and very strong mentality. Such players only need a coach and team truly trust them to be ready playing to death for their coaches and teams.

Lukaku scored some goals for Roma and he can play well together with Belotti without Dybala. It's good to see two strikers can combine with each other well because Dybala again got another injury that needs some days and some tests to confirm its severity. The break of FIFA days will be helpful for Roma and they can hope returns of some current injured and under-recovered players. Hopefully Dybala's injury is not too bad but his reaction on field is not good signal.
