Not playing for Manchester United for some time during the investigation into his case will give other players the opportunity to play in the position he left. Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho can also play on the right wing, a position that will be vacant.
They must let Antony in Brazil when the investigation against him on going. Because they don't want to bring the drama to the club, causes a negative sentiment inside the club because of a personal drama. After experiencing it with Mason Greenwood, Manchester United now are more wisely to deal with a similar case.

It's not a first time such investigation, drama happens with Premier League players. In the past some cases like rape accusations are more serious than Antony case. Hope he will sort it out quickly and return to Manchester United, play for them as the season just started.

Quote
Anthony's absence from the Manchester United squad should not have a big impact because he is not a special player like Salah or KDB whose absence will reduce the club's attacking power.
I don't think so, he is not a player at Salah level but his position in Manchester United is like rock. Sancho, Ganarcho and Rashford will have to share that position until the Brazilian player comes back. Is it like a last chance for Jadon Sancho?

What I just noticed is that many people like to use altcoin wallet with bitcoin and they do not have the opportunity to use RBF because those altcoins wallets are not having RBF.
Using a Bitcoin wallet with RBF (Replace by Fee) to bump fee later is good advice but what are altcoin wallets with bitcoin?

Bitcoin is different than altcoins with smart contracts and you can not use altcoin wallets to deposit and move your bitcoin. They have altcoins like wrapped tokens but those tokens are not bitcoin, they are tokens and peg by bitcoin.

PSG appointed Luis Enrique as their club manager but too late. If Luis Enrique had been appointed when PSG had all kinds of stars, Luis Enrique might have created a better relationship between all the players as well as overcome the weakness they had in midfield. Luis Enrique took over as manager but late as key players including Messi-Neymar Ramos had already left PSG. Taking charge of PSG is certainly a big challenge for Luis Enrique.
It's also big challenge for all coaches to take a job in PSG because they are very rich, don't hesitate to sack a coach if they feel bad with results from that coach. About Neymar, Messi and Ramos, I don't think Enrique can do anything even if he comes sooner. Those star players already in plans of PSG to sell like Neymar is already for sales recent years after Mbappe no longer wanted to see Neymar in PSG. Messi and Ramos are old and did not create much good contributions for PSG with their two seasons for them so their departures are not surprise at all.

I agree that PSG would appoint Enrique as their coach sooner but it already happened and at least he had a few weeks with PSG before a season start.

Quote
PSG have spent a lot of money on the back of their club but so far they have not won the Champions League trophy. PSG is dreaming of the Champions League through Luis Enrique. If Luis Enrique can lead this club to the Champions League title then it will be a huge success for Luis Enrique.
They are changing by buying less famous players but aiming at players who can sacrifice their ego to contribute for a team and to win as a team. So far they did not perform well but the season is long and they can have good improvement in coming months.

Hansi Flick was sacked by DFB and Germany will have a new coach soon. About 9 months before Euro 2024 at their home, Germany are in a chaos and affer winning World Cup 2014, 9 years later, they are at bottom again. Germany still have many good players but their mentality is no longer rocky like their brand in the past.

News. Rudi Voller will be a temporary coach of Germany but he will not be their coach in Euro 2024. Do you think of any good candidate for this position? If it is months ago, Tuchel can be a good choice but he is already a coach of PSG and will not be available for Germany.

Texas is friendly with Bitcoin mining and I am not surprised with these words from Ted Cruz. His belief and support is good for Bitcoin mining in the USA. and Texas but without USA, without Texas, Bitcoin miners will find other locations to mine Bitcoin.

The Great Hashrate Migration from China is an example for how adaptive Bitcoin miners are and how Bitcoin network can survive well because it is decentralized. If a network is centralized, it will have bigger risk to die.

That setting is useful if you join  Mega thread like Wall Observer.

With other threads that should die after a few pages, that setting is not much helpful.

Lastly I feel it is useful for users who don't mind to read OP and first several questions to catch ideas of OP, why the thread created and whether there are answers to OP already posted in first posts.

Jumping directly to most recent posts and answering those posts is not good.

Market must have bull and bear years, you can not have bull years without any bear years because they have to co-exist to create an actual market. Capital must change hands among investors and it's like blooding movement in human body. Without it, the market will be dead.

Fiascos of FTX, Terra and some others are not real reasons of bear market. Without them, you will have something different that can be considered as reasons of bear market.

I agree if people are more educational about self custodial wallets and benefits, they will have better practice and don't take risk with custodial wallets. Even with better practice, bear market will not be eliminated. It's unrealistic to hope that the market will no longer have bearish years and it will grow steadily forever, exponentially forever.

Borrowing money in order to invest is never a good idea but if have to go through the process of borrowing there are things to put into consideration income, the loan interest, and the market trend before the loan payment date is reached because I have seen someone who borrow money before the market bull run and invested it in BTC when it bullish market she sold some portion of the investment as the loan repayment while to profit is her own interest/investment.
That is a lucky case and history can change and become very different in future halvings. No guarantee that with all Bitcoin halvings, Bitcoin will have big bull runs by halving effects. Like if you win 9 /10 bets (borrowing money) with 10 halvings, what if you lose at the 10th bet and lose majority of your borrowing money?

It's the end of your life or will you continue to bet in a next halving. Will you survive long enough through 3 bearish year before that next halving comes?

If they plan to do well this season with Harry Maguire and Johnny Evans who couldn't secure a playing time under Sir Alex Ferguson, then I think the club is a big joke and really needs the glaziers out for things to turn around, because the club has been so poorly run to the extent that it's got to this point, where they'll partner an old man and a finished player as there starting CB options till there main options recover from injury
Maguire and Evans only were used in that big match because Ten Hag did not have better players to send in. It is so funny to see they are lack of good central defenders to use or even only acceptable to use as substitutions after they spent much money for transfers since a retirement of Sir. Alex Ferguson years ago.

Spending money without solid strategy did not work for Manchester United and they must change it as soon as possible. Ten Hag came and brought some hope signal for them but their transfers did not change too much. They also wasted this summer to change it and will need next transfer windows like next winter or next summer to have considerable change. Their squad can be improved with better transfer strategy but it won't immediately help them to gain success on field.

They can see Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal had to spend a few years for star players to familiarize with each other before they can play well together. With not good transfer strategy like now, Manchester United will waste some more seasons before they can start to lift titles.
931  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Alteration of bitcoin 21M cap: Is it possible, necessary or needless? on: September 07, 2023, 01:09:09 AM
What do you have to say about a sudden alteration of the bitcoin 21 million cap perhaps in the future. Do you think it should ever be increased ?

What would an increment mean to you? And can an alteration of the supply limit spell a disaster as some opined?
If Bitcoin total supply can be increased one time, it will be increased more times in future. People will believe that Bitcoin communities can vote to increase Bitcoin total supply forever, whenever they see it is not enough for them to buy cheap bitcoin.

Cheap bitcoin, I meant, that is not what we want if we are Bitcoin investors, we want Bitcoin to increase more in its value and price on market. To achieve it, its total supply must be capped at 21 millions, no more, can not be increased.

How is the 21 million Bitcoin cap defined and enforced?

933  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Is it possible to run the Electrum wallet offline in such a manner? on: September 06, 2023, 01:14:20 PM
I know that Electrum is one of the coolest bitcoin wallet out there but I want to be sure of one thing about keeping wallet safe and secured, it's possible to open a new bitcoin wallet using Electrum after installation without online access, I tried this and it worked, my question is if one want to keep the wallet offline this way is it possible?

Like after having your recovery seed and wallet address you remove the wallet while it's offline, no internet connection and whenever you move funds into the wallet you use explorer to check balance, doing this, does it mean it's truly offline?
You have to do it with following steps.

Download Electrum wallet.
Verify its signature.
Turn off Internet connection.
Create your wallet offline.
Backup your wallet seed phrase.
Delete that wallet file on your computer.

But using Block explorers to check your transaction history, wallet balance is not recommended. It is not good for your privacy because block explorers can be owned by third parties and can use data when you check your wallet on the explorer to track you. They can even sell data to other guys then data breach start to spread more.

Agreed, manipulation always exists in every financial market, those with a lot of money will never ignore this easy way to make money. But the crypto market has more manipulation than any other market, because with a small cap, without much regulation...manipulation becomes easier than in other markets.
Whales in traditional markets don't ignore chances to make money by market manipulation in this cryptocurrency market because total market cap of this market is small together with less regulations are very attractive with market manipulators.

They would prefer to use their capital for manipulations in this market, that is more easily in traditional market, with less risk of regulations, legal problems than in traditional markets. In addition and most important, they can gain bigger profit with same capital used for manipulation in cryptocurrency market than in traditional ones.

Quote
But many people still naively assume that bitcoin is decentralized and cannot be manipulated, LOL. Yes, the bitcoin network cannot be manipulated, but the price is too easily manipulated.
Being decentralized in its network hashrate distribution is not related with coin distribution among holders and market manipulations. In addition, to manipulate successfully whales have to collect coins very slowly with time. They do their games slowly and silently enough to avoid noises in the market as well as on-chain indicators. When we realize it, it's too late and game is already in play.
935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 05, 2023, 11:24:44 AM
Munich are favorites against any team in the Bundesliga. Because the best squad in the Bundesliga is Bayern Munich. Every season we see the Bayern Munich team winning the title.
They dominate Bundesliga in most of seasons in history of the league. In the last 11 seasons, they won 9 titles that are enough to say about their domination. In the last season, they struggled more than usual but eventually still got the crown. By buying a striker like Harry Kane, they will dominate the league more easily in this season and continue to do it in next few ones.

Quote
However, Bayern Munich unexpectedly dropped points in several matches. Bayern Munich team can be considered as unquestionable favorites against Leverkusen. However, the Leverkusen team has also been performing well in recent times. So despite Bayern Munich having a strong squad, it is not certain whether Bayern Munich will drop points. So I think many gamblers like me will refrain from betting on this match.
Bayern Munich are not a perfect team and can drop points but how they dominated the league?

They can lose points against biggest competitors in some clashes but in a long season, they very barely lose points to weak and average clubs. So generally they collect most points compare to their competitors and they take the crown.

Leverkusen are one of strongest clubs in Bundesliga and they can challenge Bayern Munich in direct matches as well as in a season but I only expect them to get points from Bayern Munich but not the league title.

Manipulation and speculation are inevitable in the market and I also believe that the majority of short term movements are manipulative rather than supply and demand based movements.
Manipulations are in all markets and they execute their plans silently and very patiently after a long time. At a right time, they pull a trigger and release news, fuds to cause panic in the market, then forced liquidations will happen on exchanges because in the market, there are always many gamblers who believe that market will serve them and move in a same direction of their open positions.

Supply and demand make sense for market growth in a very long term. Short term, it's all related to manipulations and liquidations.
937  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 05, 2023, 10:20:33 AM
Over the last few years we have seen Manchester United spending a lot of money building their squad. But even then their performance is quite poor.
They have been struggling to set up their strategy, short term or long term. They don't know where to put their belief in, their coaches or their players. Many seasons, they focused on short term achievements and forgot about long term plan. Some seasons, they gave power to their players, not their coaches and I can use Pogba as an example for their failed strategy. Believing in Pogba, keeping him in the club, sacking Mourinho and we all see what Pogba did after that. Almost no considerable contributions for Manchester United after Mourinho left.

Quote
They can't pick the right players for their squad. And they are not learning from past mistakes. They have made similar mistakes this season as well. They added Hojlund to the squad for 75 million. Hojlund is a talented player. But he lacks the ability to score consistently. He might be able to play well in the future, but that too cannot be said for sure. Manchester United need an experienced striker this season. They are planning for the future without correcting their weaknesses. Manchester United could have added a proven scorer to the squad without Hojlund.
In this summer, their transfer looks very similar to previous seasons. They bought Hojlund with very expensive price and again, facing with a failed transfer with very expensive cost.

They did not improve their defense system in the summer and it will still be one of their biggest weaknesses in this season. Just a few first matches of season and they had to use Maguire, Johns in their central defensive positions. It's not a depth of a squad that can play in some competitions and can compete well in a long season.

One question I have. Does chatgpt own any btc? Can it have some hidden keys?
Chat GPT can have Bitcoin private keys if some people carelessly or mistakenly copy and paste their private keys on that software and enter. Search engines like Google, Bing, Duckduckgo can have Bitcoin private keys too as I am sure there are people did that mistake.

It's not big deal if after making mistake, they instantly move their bitcoin to a new wallet and abandon that leaked wallet. If they don't proactively do this, their bitcoin can be stolen by Chat GPT team or any members from search engines who can access big data bases and are greed to still bitcoins from victims.
939  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 05, 2023, 01:34:05 AM
Napoli will do fine, they are not going to end up doing terrible that easily. This is the team that won the title with a lot of points difference last year, and now we are talking about something terrible right away? They are going to be fine, sure they may have started a bit different but they are going to be fine and nothing will go wrong if you ask me.
Napoli only lose one match after first three matches and they are only 3 points less than top clubs. 3 points are not small gap but Serie A still has 35 more matches till its ending and Napoli still have many matches to cover the gap. Even they lost against Lazio in Naples, at home stadium, and the result is bad but it's not an ending of their journey to defend their Scudetto.

Their defense must be improved as Lazio has two refused goals by offside but even so, it still shows weakness of Napoli defense. Their defensive midfielders must work harder to support their defenders and close gaps around the box.

https://football-italia.net/new-pogba-injury-scare-for-juventus/

He needs to be absent from the team again. Due to his injury-prone status at the moment, I doubt Juventus would be willing to extend his contract. Pogba is a very good player but the club can't always wait for him to recover from his injury.
There's no ETA when pogba will able to fully recovered from his injury.
With his very bad record with injuries and recoveries after those, Pogba career is in danger now and he even has to face with risk to end his career soon.

When Pogba is healthy and ready for matches, he is a world class midfielder but during the last three to four years, such time is very limited for Pogba. Last two seasons are most terrible for him as after long time for recovery from an injury, he came back and almost immediately got another injury, then missing again.

If nothing to improve with his body in this season, soon we will get his announcement for retirement.
940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 04, 2023, 02:50:07 PM
Indeed, Juventus should be strong again in the race for the Scudetto this season, because basically Juventus also do not have a busy schedule this season. Therefore, then of course Juventus must be able to focus more on being more consistent in Serie A, and with these considerations, maybe Juventus can guarantee to win the Scudetto this season. Because yes, there is no good reason for Juventus to fail in this season to get the Scudetto, because basically Juventus performance this season also looks better than last season.
They have perfect conditions to only fight for Scudetto in this season and they have enough good players to achieve it. They did not lose Vlahovic after the summer transfer that is a great success for them as he is a very good striker.

Chiesa already had part of the last season to warm up and familiarize with real matches after his injury so I expect to see better Chiesa in this season for Juventus. In the last season, because of many injuries, Juventus gave chances to some young players who played well for them. If those young players continue their growth, play better and have more contributions in this season, Juventus would become a stronger team.

Winning Scudetto needs many conditions but I believe Juventus will play better than the past season and they will need to wait for other clubs to get enough conditions and points to take Scudetto from Napoli.
