@rdbase About the network congestion and high transaction fees. It actually divided Bitcoin supporters because there are still investors who would like to keep Bitcoin blockchain clean and I am actually one who supports that idea. It sucks when you are a Bitcoin user, what more without those merchandise are being transacted with the use of Bitcoin? How about El Salvador? It will be difficult to say Bitcoin is really a currency if these things are happening. It will be kept as an asset like gold which I don't think is a good thing. About those fees, here is the recent experiment of the article I bumped into and they are also blaming it to the ordinals which I believe is a fact. https://decrypt.co/210168/bitcoin-fees-continue-to-surge-thanks-to-ordinal-maniaCase in point: Decrypt tried to make a transaction using a mobile wallet, but the fee would’ve been 42% of the amount of BTC selected to send. Bitinfocharts data shows that it today costs on average $37.58 to make a transaction. The last time it was that high was back in April 2021. Fees have been exploding since May this year ever since interest in Ordinals took off. At one point they reached $31.14 per transaction. It's too high and it's an eyesore to see this kind of expensive fees. Believe it or not those investors aren't who you would think they are. In China there are conferences trying to onboard grandmas into this hype of ordinals. When I first heard about it right before Chirstmas I thought it was a complete and utter joke. But then these images surfaced showing another thing from those BONK tokens called WHEE:   https://twitter.com/markjeffrey/status/1736671688455254113You can imagine how much money these elderly have from life savings and those individuals who promise them the world with these how to get rich fast schemes are just wolves in doge's clothing   https://twitter.com/MacnBTC/status/1734963829992288664 |

Finally! Pistons got the win after the worst losing streak in history and Raptors is the victim.  I had Cunningham 28+ points bet but Markkanen blew my parlay. He shot 0/7 behind the 3-pt line and could score only 12. Whatever, Pistons won tonight and that's the only important news. LOL hate to be a Pistons fan this year. Unreal losing streak they are on and it's not like the team is terrible. Pistons actually led at the end of every quarter, maybe this game is a momentum builder for them. The fans right before the game were chanting "Sell the team! Sell the team!" because they hadn't won since October 28th when they had a 2-1 record. A big black eye for Toronto Raptors to be that team now! But atleast they saved Monty Williams the Detroit Piston head coach's sanity. Must feel like a huge weight lifted off his back I would imagine. Due to the fact it had been 63 days since their last win is unheard of in the NBA as it is a new record for consecutive losses in a single season. A record no team wants to be synonymous for. |

Manchester United were the ones struggling to score against Nottingham Forest and only did so late second half closing in on the 78th minute by Marcus Rashford. So your bet landed @ralle14 as I had over 3.5 goals in a disappointing Red Devils loss. For today we have Tottenham Hot Spurs and Arsenal to close off our 2023 as the final fixtures of the year:  https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/england/premier-league/matchesHave both teams as favorites to get it done and hopefully neither of them disappoint. Go you gunners and Up the Arsenal! |

So the gates have been closed for the first wave to get in having the deadline pass December 29th.
Now the waiting game begins as many are anticipating an approval in the first few days of the new year starting January 4th.
So can we see bitcoin's price rise to new heights since it's all time high of $69,700~ or if it is not approved in the first week of 2024, see it take a massive drop to $32,000 as many are predicting?

Dallas is in poor form and hopefully the Lions can capitalize on this and come away with a win being 11-4 so far on the season.
Their recent losses came from road matches, so we'll see if that carries on for today's match. Even though I would like to root for the Lions to win over the Cowboys, I can't go against the team with the perfect home record. I'm only betting on the Cowboys to win and cover the first-half handicap, as they're one of the teams that tend to score a few TDs or more before halftime.  Edit: Cowboys held in the first half to cash my bet and during that last-minute play from the Lions. That first half bet did cash for you when I tuned in Cowboys were leading 7-3. Then cameback to catch the final few minutes to see the Lions only a point behind. So it was close match even for as you said a Dallas team who were perfect at home. All those chances for the Detroit to win it with a 2-pt convert because of those penalties against Dallas at the final play of the game. If we have games like this one for the final day of the year, then we are all in-store for some eventful matches. Here are the markets for all the NFL games today on this New Years eve: https://sportsbet.io/sports/american-football/matches/todayAll 14 games on tap so to make for some exciting football! |

^^ I don't think in this match either team scored and it resulted in a goal-less draw correct? Only watched a highlight reel and it was 0-0 by the 86 minute then it cut off. Ah well, EPL is back on today before the New Year so we have the first match of the day beginning in 15 minutes with Luton Town taking on Chelsea! Here are the markets for this match-up: https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/premier-league/luton-town-v-chelsea-fc-6586f077b14b9900011dac7fFor some odd reason I am in favor of Luton Town even if they are @5.20x last time I checked but have won a couple of their last matches. While Chelsea seem to be struggling as I think they were without two of their main players in their last match and probably are going into this one. |

No need to response, but stake can just take action as the feedback development. It's exchange system-based (tipping). If Stake seeing these as good feedback and see how big is the volume transaction, just like other casino do they just can easily make a system and development on their casino for the exchange service with (3-5% as usuall on every casino). Then, these service will be died or shutdown by them self without (Stake) response to their service. Simple as that. The user and/or player below has already stated what they use for their in-site exchange service and I am very much doubtful they will deviate from using another service other than the one they have been using for several years now. -snip-
Any service from third-parties. It's always have possibility to become a scam, do you know some legit service that turns on to be scammed? We already see that. So, IMO people should be aware of the risks and use the money they can afford to lose. IMO, more than 50$ with type crypto like (BTC) better to withdraw and swap them on exchange. These kind of service are just suitable for low amount. Who know, in the future (Stake) add exchange service 3-5% fee ~XD just like other exchange, so they can drain out more money from user ~XD. I think Eddie already stated that they are not going to create an exchange service, because of all the regulatory requirements and "red tape" that needs to be done to operate that. I think it is just too many hassles to get it off the ground and then to operate it, within the regulatory requirements of the different countries. They are comfortable with a third party like Dinabot, offering those kinds of services. It would have been nice to have a in-house service, because Dinabot can be a bit tricky and it is expensive. Also asked the owner if they would be doing any special bonus drops for the New Years and had mentioned they didn't intend any plans to have anymore. So I think wagering $20k for the week to get $5 bonus drops are out of the question for the remainder of the year. |

🚀 Maximize Your NFL Thrills with FreeBitco.in!Gear up for the NFL action, predict, and savor the thrill of winning BTC after every game.  Just tried out the site because thought this had been just a faucet-type website all this time. Pretty surprising to see they offer sports too. While on the site briefly did not see where there were other types of bets offered other than the usual dice and hi-lo games. Care to show in a screen capture of where one would need to click on so to find the NFL section to place a wager on a match? Might try it out for the game scheduled for tomorrow. Thanks Freebitco.in PR admin! |

Arsenal losing was very unexpected with even a draw being acceptable for a team with such talent and potential going into it.
Watched a bit of the match and couldn't believe what I was seeing. With Declan Rice even causing a penalty right at the end of the match which could of made it even worse with another goal going towards his former club's clean sheet.
The EPL lately has had some really disappointing results for the higher on the table teams. With that loss Arsenal drop a bit lower than Liverpool who are on top of the Premier League table for now.
Hopefully the matches for the New Year are a little more convincing for these top of leaderboard clubs.

^^ Great prediction on that betbuilder and you have some guts made of steel to take the interception as I always pass by this prop from hitting in an NFL game. Flacco was on a roll and especially with a team like the Browns being 7-1 at home before yesterday match. They were running on a high this night. Watched bits and pieces of the game as Cleveland had this game won by the first half. As you have already mentioned with the second half only having a single field goal split between both teams to show for their efforts. Tonight we have only games in the NCAA with some high profile teams playing. Here are those markets if you plan on betting on the favorites and the over as these games are really fast paced: https://sportsbet.io/sports/american-football/usa/ncaa-regular/matchesNext match in the NFL is on Saturday in the evening with the Cowboys going against the Lions: https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/american-football/usa/nfl/dallas-cowboys-v-detroit-lions-6584249226cfeb0001a030e2Dallas is in poor form and hopefully the Lions can capitalize on this and come away with a win being 11-4 so far on the season. |

^^ Great links there @danherbias07 ! Thanks for those as it will keep us intouch with what is going on in the UFC until the next event at the Apex in a few weeks from now. Costa looks kind of strange and actually thought it was one of the female fighters on the card when viewed it from my phone as it has a smaller screen.  Let's keep it at that and not speculate any further on this observation of mine. There is enough melodrama as it is in the UFC and I think Daddy Dana has been trying to out do the WWE in this department for awhile now. As they are in the entertainment business, so let them entertain. Am I right?  There was some talk of Adesanya now wanting to make a return for UFC 300. Here we go with the rumor mill on blast again, wouldn't you agree with me? |

Not a fan of Powerslap or slap power so won't be clicking on those links provided to watch it as I have tried to avoid anything to do with it since the very start. There is plenty of news concerning the UFC and the upcoming fights that were announced and setup for the 298 event. More can be seen from TheWeasle's most recent youtube video: UFC 298 IS SO STACKED!!! Breakdown & Analysis -Alexander Volkanovski vs Ilia Topuria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfrEjWHeQbEThat is a photo of Ikram and Hernandez who are fighting for the prelims: https://www.ufc.com/event/ufc-298#11090 |

Awesome looking photos Steve and gives a real sense of the holiday season: A Winter wonderland!Wouldn't doubt they would say Santa truly lives there instead of the North Pole as they probably get mistaken for each other this time of year the way it is decorated in such ways for the season. Estonia's famous strong drink.. Vana Tallinn - 40% alc, 100% delicious.
Can confirm this to be true Heats you well in the snow, eh? Happy holidays, fellas! Let's see that huge 2024  When I first saw this drink it looks alot like most of the drinks we had during the Christmas time. Always reddish. Is this stuff even legal in most countries?
40% sounds like a very strong alcohol, more like something you would use to for medicinal purposes or for dentist.
I think it is in most countries in Europe. In Croatia certainly is - and thank god for that For medicinal purposes it's pure alcohol - and you can get blind if you drink that. This stuff is actually delicious. 40% is not strong... At the moment I have this one opened:  Here we have a lot stronger drinks, around 50% is nice for drinking. I guess some people like to drink whiskey with ice or water, and some people like it neat... so this is exactly that, some people enjoy a stronger taste, while some like to have more "light note". Nice move from Sportsbet and Steve. That sort of alcohol rated at such high percentage might cause one to not wake up until the New Year. Thanks for the pictures of "Beers with Steve!" festivities once again! |
