 Crystal Palace vs. Aston Villa, Crystal Palace won. The Crystal Palace players played very well, always able to attack with accurate attacks, which ultimately led to Aston Villa's defeat in that match, conceding 3 goals. Mateta, Guehi, and Sarr played well because they scored goals. Initially, I was going to bet on Aston Villa, but in retrospect, Crystal Palace is currently in better form, as evidenced by their success in winning the Community Shield and defeating Liverpool in the final. That's what made me bet on Crystal Palace, and finally, I was able to celebrate with my friends because I won my bet. Did you also win your bet on that match? As the host, Aston Villa was truly humiliated by Crystal Palace. Of course, this means Aston Villa must learn from the experience. Unai Emery must work really hard, and Aston Villa's defense must be further improved. Now Aston Villa is ranked 19th, so I hope Aston Villa can improve their performance. This could mean more than meets the eye in the first place. Look at the opponents Crystal Palace was playing against so far. They didn't lose against Chelsea away from home, they tied the game against Nottingham at home and Nottingham is not a bad team, and now they beat Aston Villa 3-0 away from home. I don't know, but this is no coincidence I suppose. If they can maintain this shape and remain efficient with their results, I think Crystal Palace is about to look forward to a great season. Furthermore, they have an interesting schedule ahead of them. Sunderland at home now, which could be 3 points, then West Ham away from home and I think everything is possible there, and then Liverpool at home. Who knows, but by the end of September it's possible Crystal Palace is responsible for the first big EPL surprise. |

With scaling solutions like Lightning maturing post-2024 halving, we’re seeing Bitcoin’s ecosystem expand beyond speculation into practical use cases—think coffee payments, cross-border tips, or even IoT device micropayments. But mainstream adoption still lags and is falling behind.
Have you started using BTC for small daily transactions via Layer 2? What’s the biggest hurdle: UX friction, merchant adoption, or trust in stability?
Let’s discuss real-world wins ( or fails)!
Mainstream adoption as in the number of micro transactions? How many things per day do you pay with gold and would you say that gold is mainstream or not? It is really a question of whatever benchmark you want to apply here. While I wouldn't say that BTC is mainstream yet in a broader sense, tendencies are clearly there that it is on a good way to become mainstream, but not necessarily for micro payments / daily usage. I think infrastructure will develop over time and as Free Market Capitalist said, hairdressers and gas stations are not the places where people pay with BTC, but then again are those really the places to manifest whether BTC is mainstream? I rather go by public recognition, institutional, corporate and governmental stance on BTC. A lot of things have happened there. While I am kind of sad that BTC is a target of heavy regulation, you can tell that this is a sign for something being about to become mainstream. You can also tell from cryptocurrencies being explicitly mentioned in tax filing reports. Who in 2012 would have thought that financial authorities will very soon change or expand the terminology in those reports and add crypto currencies? I was kind of expecting it because I never doubted its potential, but once an asset class finds its way into those reports, it obviously has to have some mainstream characteristics. |

What do you think? by head to head in Fulham's home, Fulham never win and only one draw, the last 5 match Manchester United won it all. That's why not surprising to see a bookie listing Manchester United is a favorite, because they already know this obvious stats. Manchester United wasn't that bad when they met Arsenal, it just Arsenal was lucky enough the goal not ruled out. I'm believing Manchester United will win.  The bookmakers would hardly consider a match from 2019 for their odds calculations. It depends on what the teams look like and whether they are still the same for the most part. It is now a new season and they give Manchester United the benefit of the doubt because they are supposed to come out on top in this match, but look how it ended at the end of last season. Manchester United 15th vs. Fulham 11th, 12 points ahead. This game is definitely important for both teams. Whoever loses has a massively failed start and for Manchester United this would be worse than for Fulham. Both will feel the pressure. |

I would only freak out depending on who Satoshi is. Some guy = no freakout. A CIA operative(s) = freakout. Same goes for the question of selling my Bitcoin. Although if nothing changes about Bitcoin itself and how it works, then no, I would probably not sell. Even if the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto was weird. So no, I doubt anything would change for me. A CIA operative wouldn't be the worst case I think. It will probably depend on how someone is publicly perceived. CIA wouldn't be a great scenario, but nobody would think they'd destroy the price by dumping it recklessly out of a sudden. I think it could be more problematic if Kim Jong-un's regime is Satoshi. Ultimately I agree that nothing should really change for anyone unless someone has moral concerns, but that could go for the CIA for some people as it could go for Kim Jong-un for others. What really matters is whether it is possible for any actor to change how bitcoin works and whether its tamper-proof structure is at risk. As long as that is not the case, I would expect the price to take a hit, but to recover from it. The price would probably take a hit because there would be a short-term chain reaction from speculators who all think the same: there will be a wave of sellers, everyone trying to buy back cheaper, until resistance from purchases gets so strong that further dumps won't have any effect, then recovery from there. There could be one problem though if a problematic actor is in possession of the Satoshi BTC: would the price increase potentially as much as it would if people didn't know who Satoshi was? If the BTC are in the hands of a questionable actor, would potential investors still feel as comfortable to invest and hence push the wealth of someone they condemn or fear? |

BITCOIN IS MORE THAN AN INVESTMENT IT IS A BELIEF
When Bitcoin was sold at $5.27 in 2012 many people did not believe in it. At the end of the year Bitcoin was sold at $13 from there it skyrocketed to $1000 in 2013 hitting a milestone. When it reached $60,000 in 2021 some said it is too late to invest in bitcoin.
The truth is that Bitcoin isn't all about price but vision, courage and patience.
BTC isn't a belief at all because it is all based on facts. What BTC does is deliver serious actions due to its mechanics being based on the skin-in-the-game. The system makes everyone act towards a united goal not because all actors in the system believe in BTC, but because it is designed such that everyone acting towards a unified goal makes the most economic sense for everyone. You don't trust because you believe in BTC, you trust BTC because the system has proven to not be compromisable at all. If this had been otherwise, you would not invest in BTC and this is not because you lack a certain belief, but you are confronted with the fact that the system is not reliable. Courage and patience are subjective attributes that have little to do with BTC itself. Many things involve courage and patience. BTC's price is partially reflected by belief, that's probably true for those who don't really understand the system, but decide to invest anyway. But at the end of the day the price is a reflection of its uninterrupted continuous reliability and validity. |

I don't think Satoshi himself would do something so stupid, especially if he continues to hold Bitcoin, he will become one of the richest people in the world in the future. I saw a very recent report where Satoshi is overtaking Bill Gates to become the 12th richest person in the world. If Bitcoin hits the $1 million milestone in the not-so-distant future, then it can be said that Satoshi will be the world's number one richest person. So if Satoshi were alive, he would never do this stupid thing because withdrawing his Bitcoin would really affect the value of his Bitcoin and that could have a negative impact.
How do you know that he is holding BTC, and not anymore able to access it? How do you know Satoshi is a man? How do you know Satoshi is a person? How do you know that Satoshi will overtake Bill Gates when actually Satoshi is 25 people and they have to share it, assuming they do not act as a conglomerate? How do you know Satoshi aims at becoming the richest person in the world? How do you know Satoshi can die if Satoshi is a project and not a single human being? How do you know that Satoshi is not 95 years of age and feels the desire to use some cash to live the best life in the last years? How do you know that withdrawing BTC from Satoshi wallets "would really affect the value of his Bitcoin"? I picked your post, but there are so many unfounded assumptions to be found in this thread. The list of questions could be 10 times as long. Above all, if you were Satoshi, you would never touch your coins? Do I understand this correctly? You would never ever because it would be stupid? |

 It was really a good start for me this new season, as I was able to get a huge win in my first prediction. Honestly, this seems like a dream to me because even though a draw in that matter, sometimes is good to try luck with the amount you can afford to lose because anybody can tell when the luck would be on your side. However, this shows that this season would going to be a very good one because this is my first time of winning 3 draws in the premier league. This one is great! You must feel kind of sad you didn't have higher stakes at play. I wanted to share mine, which was not a winner, but half pushback.  |

I don't know what to make of the Arsenal v United game. Yeah, United look better than they were last season with their new signings, but they didn't create anything today, i cannot remember them having any big chance in that game, they have to improve on that. Arsenal were solid in defense as usual, as soon as they got that goal, they were going to defend it until the end.
Over all, the game was not the most entertaining, United tried to make it a good watch, but they were not able to do anything useful in the Arsenal box.
They had some nice shots from the distance, but this proves that they may not have a center forward like the others do. This is what they had to offer in 24/25:  Rasmus Højlund with 4 goals in 32 matches. They are trying to do something about it, but getting into this new season with a home match without scoring must be discouraging for the next matches. A result of 3-4 would have been better than the 0-1. |
