Osimhen is still a striker who is quite feared in Serie A this season, he has the instinct to score goals in every game, moreover we have seen his aggressiveness in the previous season and we don't doubt his ability for a bit. The previous defeat does not mean that Napoli are so weak this season, in fact I think Napoli can make a comeback to win in the next match like they did in the previous season.
Osimhem is strong and talented, goal productive but he must play more wisely to avoid injuries. Success of his career depends on how he can avoid as many injuries as possible. He has a style like Didier Drogba but relying on his strength and always ready to join physical fighting are not good for his career in long term. He should know when to avoid unnecessary fighting.

Without injuries, Osimhem will be able to score many goals for Napoli in this season and contribute to defend Scudetto.


Paul Pogba is injured again!

The intensity of his injury is unknown and will need some days with medical tests to assess his injury. Career of Pogba has been affected by many injuries in last three years and he already 30 years old. According to transfermarkt.com, his transfer value is about €15.00M which is very cheap with his talent but the value makes sense because he was unable to play for Juventus too many matches since a transfer from Manchester United.

I had to get paid for my house in bitcoins. Now I have found a person who will change my USDC into my currency in cash. Now I have to change bitcoins to USDC. I don't trust exchanges so I would like to exchange bitcoins with a local trader. Please advise the platforms where I can personally talk with the trader and discuss the terms of the transaction. Thank you
First you either are too naively to find a local trader to do that trade because it is easy to be scammed.

Second you can be a scammer try to trap your trade partner.

You can simply trade it on a centralized exchange and get USDC or cash from your bitcoin. Remitano is a good one if you don't care your privacy and KYC.

No KYC exchanges are for you if you don't want KYC.
No-KYC exchange encyclopedia

Because you are a newbie, you can not find anyone will trade with you here, because risk to trade with a newbie is high.

Right, cryptocurrencies are growing very strongly in Turkey and this has been known for a long time, it is no longer new. I just looked back at an article I read last year and it also pointed out that cryptocurrencies are thriving in Turkey. Inflation in Turkey sometimes exceeds 80% and it is understandable that people are looking for a solution against inflation.

It can be said that cryptocurrency is considered a financial game by many people, but in countries with high inflation, bitcoin and cryptocurrency are being considered the only savior.

The image is interesting. NakitCoins has their announcement thread in Bitcointalk and they even run a signature campaign too.

It is interesting to see NakitCoins is still actively operating in Turkey after they decided to stop a signature campaign and left the forum.

That's what some people think of this league they only judge from one side even though there are many other sides, as you said there is no way to compete with the Europa League because it is on a different track unless a club from the Saudi Pro League participates in the Champions/Europa League it might make sense to compare them. It's no secret that the League's target is promotion and business because it's impossible for them to spend 800 Million without expecting something.

For anyone wondering how much money they have, just google it and it's easy to find, on the wikipedia page it is explained that their total asset value is $776 billion that's 70x higher than Manchester United price as we know Manchester United will be sold for $10 billion.
Problems with Saudi Professional League is not all of their clubs are rich and have huge transfer budgets to buy star players from Europe. Only four biggest clubs got such budgets from PIF.

Saudi Arabia’s PIF acquires Saudi Pro League four largest clubs. It will not be a good way to develop a whole league and they only can create a Big Four in Saudi Professional League, makes those clubs dominate the league more strongly.

Generally even those clubs won't have healthy growth in quality as they can not buy star players from Europe forever. What they must focus is their club academies for youth players who need to have good environment and support from their clubs and academies to learn from star players and grow up their career. The Saudi Professional League need domestic youth players to be stronger sustainably.

Manchester United couldn't lead in this game more than a minute before gunners scored the draw and shock them with 2 other late goals in extra time!
Arsenal equalized it quickly and they got too late goals to win the match.

Gunners got an important winning for their beginning in Premier League that is not too good after a first few matches, but this win will help Arsenal to get their confidence back and be more ready for coming ones.

The two club's performances were really good, Arsenal played a fantastic game, and I wasn't expecting a win from them in today's match. I was thinking the match was going to end in a draw, I already gave up and stopped watching the match before Arsenal scored the two goals that gave them the victory in today's match.
Playing well is not enough if you lose at the end and in this match, Manchester United lost at very late minutes of the match. It's a terrible ending for them but they can not blame it on Arsenal. They should defend better when the match only has a few minutes before a whistle of referee.

Again Manchester United defenders did not focus during important time of a match. This character is important if they want to get good results in big matches and win big titles.

The reality that happened after the division of the group reversed from what they thought, Newcastle joined the group of hell which was inhabited by other strong clubs. PSG, AC Milan and Dortmund are not just any teams, Newcastle will have great difficulty getting into the round of 16 due to the very competitive competition in Group F.
Their group is actually a toughest among all Champions League groups. Even it was expected that Newcastle United will be fallen into a tough one, what they got is most terrible scenario.

However, will other clubs in that group mind much about Newcastle United? They know Newcastle United don't have experience there and can be a weakest opponent in the group, even they end in top four of Premier League last season. Newcastle United must accept this fact and use this season to learn and get experience, then move on.

Quote
Newcastle poor performance at the start of the season made their chances even smaller, they were only able to win 1 win and 3 defeats in the 4 matches they had played in the Premier League. The negative results obtained by Newcastle in the EPL make me doubt that Newcastle will be able to go further in the UCL, especially since their coach doesn't have enough experience in the UCL.
Even if they get good start in Premier League, they will still have difficulty in Champions League. With very poor performance in Premier League, Newcastle United will get more pressure when Champions League kicks-off.

Playing a first season in Champions League after many years will be big challenge for their players and coach. They will not have enough experience to play against clubs from other leagues with different tactical styles and have troubles to allocate their resources in this season. It's worse for Newcastle United when they fell into a toughest group in this season.

Also one of the form scams in discord and hacking through using links send from DMs that can drain your wallets and full authorization access to your device just want to share too and good content to the new comers who are want to join in crypto space most likely in NFT.
I have been in cryptocurrency market long enough to know "DM first is not real admin". They are mostly scammers and if I want to check, I will find the official admin with same username, then click on PM, to see is it a same user just sends me a DM previously. If not, it is an impersonator of real admin.

Mostly I even don't mind to do this step because DM first is already a signal of scammer/ impersonator.

Real Madrid are still the only team without a point loss so far. However it wasn't an easy game for them today. Getafe scored first and they were nearly stealing one point from them. Bellingham was again there to save the day by scoring in the last minutes. He is such an important player at the moment.

His responsibilities are even higher in Vinicius' absence. They are dealing with the situation decently in the league still. However I'm not sure how the Champions League would be. Vinicius might miss at least one game there so we will see how they can deal with it.
They got three points with another goal from Jude Bellingham. That is a very late goal but in fact Real Madrid were very unlucky in the match with three shots should be goals for them.

Vinicius missing affects Real Madrid attacking system but they actually created many opportunities and had some good shots too. The problem belongs to their defense with a terrible mistake in a first goal of the match. It is a gift for Getafe from Real Madrid and they must avoid it in future. Attacking players can not always find equalizer and winning goal if defensive players continue with such personal mistake.

Joselu scored again for Real Madrid after a trivela from Modric. I love how Modric makes his trivela passes.

It seemed unfair to me from the first moment I heard about bounty campaigns, and that's why I've never participated in such things because the risk factor is simply too great compared to the possible reward. The problem is that most of those who participate in such campaigns do not understand this risk and are often disappointed in the end when they receive nothing or some worthless tokens.
They are lazy to learn, work and find better jobs then they end with wanting to bet with bounties. At the ends, many times, they are disappointed by scam managers or scam teams or no value tokens they received even distributions made by project teams. They need to experience with many times of disappointment with Bounties before they can digest the lesson, don't join bounties.

They get good advice at beginning but ignore and decide to use their time and working efforts to explore facts behind bounties.

Quote
Regardless of the fact that some will disagree because they have personal financial benefits from all of this, I somehow look at it as using those who are desperate enough and also uneducated as cheap or even completely free labor. We can also call it modern internet slavery without any reservations, no matter how ugly it sounds.
Getting financial profits from bounties are very barely seen. Most of time, bounty hunters are only abused by project teams.

Manchester City has a good record against Fulham, but I think Fulham can also put Manchester City in trouble. Last season Manchester City won 2-1 at home, while they also won 1-2 away against Fulham, so this game shouldn't be too difficult to guess the winner.

So far in the first half, both teams have not found a chance to score a goal. Manchester City with high ball possession still failed to build a good attack, while several Fulham attack schemes also failed. Up to 25 minutes nothing has happened, but I think Manchester City play with good performance and need to increase the intensity of their attacks.
With domination of Manchester City in Premier League and their good record against Fullham and they can beat Fullham again, even beating the opponent with bigger result than the last season.

They scored first by Julian Alvarez but a few minutes later, Fullham equalized the match. Will the last season results 2 - 1 for Manchester City be repeated again in this match?

Manchester City can create more pressure, more opportunities but will they score more goals, I don't know. Fullham looks to do their jobs well in this match and they can continue it till the final whistle.

Once again financial fair play regulations made problems for Barcelona. We know they wanted to hire more players but the FFP doesn't let them and now Xavi is waiting to have Joćo Cancelo is histeam forthe next games they can't hire this player because of these rules, Barcelona is trying to get this palyer for a loan.



European Super League: Key questions answered as fresh plans for competition announced.

Barcelona have bad finance is one factor but it is not all. They are also part of European Super League and they are founders of A22 Sports Management together with Real Madrid and Juventus. Juventus got harsh punishments in Serie A last season and they were even prohibited to join UEFA Conference League in this season.

I don't think it is a kind of coincidence why Barcelona got more looks from FFP and got more punishments from the foundation. Partially it is because of Barcelona's participation in plan of European Super League.

Bitcoin is far superior to other cryptocurrencies for many reasons. It has the largest & most established network providing greater security & reliability.
It is very important because investment is made with trust. Bitcoin network is strong enough to gain trust from investors and is part of factors to convince potential investors to spend money for buying bitcoin.

Quote
There is a limited supply making it resistant to inflation & potential devaluation.
It is solid like rock. No one can change total supply of Bitcoin and its circulating supply only becomes less than its total supply with time as more people lose bitcoin and contribute to more bigger lost amount of Bitcoin.

Quote
Its decentralised nature ensures that no central authority can control or manipulate it. Bitcoin's widespread adoption & recognition make it more accessible for trading, investing & everyday transactions.
The truly decentralized network of Bitcoin helps it to avoid attacks and censorship on transaction confirmations. It gives Bitcoin users their own banks and no longer rely on banks for capital movements. Bitcoin holders only have to broadcast their transactions with enough transaction fee to get confirmations from miners, then it's done by miners, no engagement from banks or governments.

Yes, in Bitcoin, if newbies want to save the investment for sure, they must learn first how to save Bitcoin on their own wallets. Sometimes, they think this is not important because is very wash time to learn it. Because they not as tech-savvy make they think also if create the own wallet with own key is difficult, however, if they learn it properly, they can easy to create with only 1 hour.
They can be taught to not save bitcoin on exchanges, in custodial wallets, in online accounts. It's hard to convince newbies to be careful but as lecturers, mentors, it's the only way to help newbies who are responsible for what they do after listening to free lecture, conversation or meeting.

Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts

It is a good beginning but not enough. Newbies must backup their wallets (private keys, mnenomic seeds, wallet passwords) for recovery in future.

According to some news, both players Benzema and Neymar are ready for this game between Al Ittihad and Al Hilal and this game will be started after a few hours between these two teams. I think more than anything the fans are waiting to see the performance of these two players in this match but since the situation of both players is not stable yet, that's not surprising if we see them out of the first squad.

https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2023/08/31/neymar-and-benzema-in-race-against-time-to-be-fit-for-saudi-clasico/
It sounds a good news but they will not be fully ready that will affect their performances in the big match. Having them is better than don't have them in the match and fans in Saudi Arabia actually wait for clash between biggest star players from Europe and more specially, it is a big match in the nation.

Players like Neymar and Benzema were signed by Saudi clubs exactly for matches like this one. But injury woes threaten to derail their plans. Neymar is yet to make his debut for Al Hilal, and Benzema is currently out of action as a result of hamstring injury. Benzema's injury was uncovered during the match against Al Wehda, where he was substituted just before the half time. He is 35 years old and no longer young. This may result in more recovery time before he is back in action. The match BTW, will start in around 12 hours from now.
They wanted to have Messi too but the player refused to join Saudi Professional League. They wanted to have him to make a legendary fight between Messi and Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia but that plan failed.

Benzema and Neymar are not Messi and Ronaldo but they are one of biggest star players in last many years. Their injuries only show risk of signing contracts with old players even they are star players and professional. With their old ages, it's hard to maintain good body and fitness like when they were younger years ago. Neymar has bad habit in his life so moving to Saudi Arabia will give him more opportunities to enjoy his life with very lucrative salary and special privileges from Ah Hilal.

Good News but what happened to the recent dump after Grayscale won the case against the SEC I mean Bitcoin ETF Approval will become a major milestone to get more investors, especially in the US Market.

when this really happens I think other countries will follow to make an ETF but in this case, Europe Already had one right just hope that Mr. Gary approve this
It's logic to say that the USA. has to follow European countries in approval of Bitcoin Spot ETF. In Europe, the first Bitcoin Spot ETF was approve months ago and it is a big milestone for Bitcoin.

Latest changes in the USA. with more challenges on power of SEC and Gensler give us more hope that that nation will have its first Bitcoin Spot ETF.

Gensler will have to be testimonies in US Congress twice in this September. He will have to come to the Congress with lot of fear like a latest time he came there.

While players his age choose to retire and/or play in the Saudi Pro League, but Giroud is still playing in Europe. What's more, Giroud plays in a big team in Serie A and also, competition in Serie A is still quite competitive. But yes, the fact is that even though Giroud is a striker, but Giroud can still play and contribute very well for Milan.
Giroud does not get enough attention on him and he is under valued by football experts and media. After many years, he broke the all time scorer record in France and it means a lot of things. He also scored a lot of goals for many clubs he played for and he has yet announced his retirement in his national team.

By wanting to continue his international duty and national career, he will not leave Europe soon but at his age, no longer time to play till his retirement. Maybe he will retire next 2 or 3 more years so a next summer can be his time to leave Europe after Euro 2024 with France. Win the Euro title or not, Giroud can retire his national career and take chance to get good salary in Saudi Arabia.

Quote
Thus, for me Giroud is a very great player, because not all players who are attackers at their old age are capable of scoring many goals. In fact, players like Ronaldo and Messi even choose to play in club that don't have competitive competition there. So yes, Giroud is really very impressive, because at his old age Giroud is still very productive in scoring goals.
He is one of best scorers in the last twenty years in Europe and he had great contribution for his national team. He even won World Cup 2018 with France and as said above, he is holding a record for the team.

He is less famous and mentioned like Messi, Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic or Lewandowski but nobody can deny he is one of best players recent years during 2000s to 2020s.
958  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Be Aware of Ramitano Change of Address: Don't Send Bitcoins to it Again on: August 31, 2023, 10:53:18 AM
It's Remitano!

Ramitano can be a phishing site of Remitano if its domain is registered and live.

This announcement is important as Remitano changed their exchange wallets and user wallets too. They likely moved their funds to entire new wallets and they warn that if users send coins to old wallet addresses, they will lose coins.

However, Remitano will still have access to old wallets but they just waive out their responsibility to support their users. Some exchanges can support you but with expensive support fees and with this announcement, Remitano simply warn that they will not support any user with mistakenly sending to old wallet addresses.

I note one thing. If you go to their Wallet page, click BTC (Deposit), you will no longer see your old deposit address. There is only a button, Create a new address. So if a user goes with this process, no chance to make mistake.

Someone who deals in cryptocurrency trading should have at least a little understanding of the concept behind bounty campaigns. Unfortunately, we once again see how the influence of social networks brings people to the forum with only one goal, and that is to try to earn something, without actually doing anything but copy/pasting links from morning to night and hoping to get the promised reward.
The concept behind bounties is their teams use tokens that can be minted from thin air to run their bounties as bounty rewards. Even bounty hunters receive those promised tokens from bounties, they still have risk that those tokens mean nothing on the market in value.

A bigger risk for bounty hunters is, teams are free to run away and refuse all responsibility to distribute tokens at the end. If their fund raising process is failed, if their project is flagged as scam by communities, they will have no reason to even spend ETH or BNB as transaction fees to distribute zero value tokens.

Quote
I know that some will say that there are bounty campaigns where you can make some money, but that's like looking for a needle in a haystack - not to mention the moral side of promoting such projects that mostly fail or turn out to be scams.
They do this because they think it is easy to complete bounty tasks and hope that tokens they receive will have high prices in a bull run but they must know

How many cryptocurrencies have failed?

This is important information here. Reading only the title of this thread can be misleading. Balchunas thinks it's almost certain that spot ETF will get approval, but it's a question of when not if.
It is a question WHEN, not YES/ NO question. I agree with you that Bitcoin Spot EFT will be approved in the USA. People are only speculating when it will be approved a first time.

Quote
Also, BlackRock has an almost 100% ETF approval rate (>99.8% per quick google search) and I don't think giants like them would even bother filing for it if they didn't know it'll get approved.
It's reason to hype the market latest months after BlackRock applied their Bitcoin Spot ETF. The hearing of US Congress against SEC Chairman Gensler and his failure to response to questions, give the crowd more belief that SEC and Gensler will have less freedom to arbitrarily regulate cryptocurrency market as well as make decisions on approvals of Bitcoin Spot ETF.
