So I know there are a few places where you can be a LP and gain about 4% APR for your stablecoins like USDC and USDT.
You can also just keep it in your US savings account or buy bonds and get 5-6%. This I understand.
Companies behind stable coins like USDT, USDC use their money, customer money to buy governmental bonds too. But I keep seeing these protocols like Mute.io which is KOI now and Zk Finance and they claim they pay 20% for staking your stable coins.
You need to add it to the pool and then add it to some farm. And you get 20%. My question is where is this 20% coming from?
It is risky and it is common with many DeFi platforms and their native currencies when their projects start. Their tokenomics usually are very bad designed, high inflationary and their native currency/ token will lose value with time. 20% APY is a very high figure that contains risk if we take into consideration warnings that APY above 12% is a red flag already and here, it's 20%, not 12%. Terra crash in 2022 is an example for death spiral from high APY. The Terra Luna Crash is a Warning for Investors to Keep their Eyes Open |

User: iva.paz.chainPlagiarismMining Cost per BTCBTC
Decrypting a block of the Bitcoin network requires a very high energy cost, but it is not the
only operational cost. Producing 1 Bitcoin specifically refers to enabling it on the market
(remember that there are only 21 million Bitcoins created), and this work entails a series of
other costs, fixed and variable, associated with the cryptocurrency mining industry and that
should be considered.
The mining industry must face depreciation costs for mining equipment and infrastructure,
energy costs, maintenance, cooling, rent, taxes, administrative, etc.
In Trading Different, we calculated this Costs, making an indicator we many other variables that hepls to understand the market and predict the price.
The graph shows the production cost of 1 Bitcoin, represented by the orange line. This cost
is an important indicator of market health as it allows investors to understand whether they
are buying Bitcoin above or below its production value. This indicator is useful for all
investors, both long and short term.
Holders can make a better investment by seeking to buy when the price is at cost, or on sale
below it. While traders can better identify the direction of the market in a macro structure.

as I'm a real madrid fan, I'm rooting for real madrid to win this game and become champions, real madrid has a better squad compared to dortmund   the bookmakers are seeing real madrid as the clear favorite to win this game, it is not a balanced game because as I said, there is a big difference in quality between these two teams and real madrid is superior Bookmakers and odds can show the favorite team but in a direct match, a stronger and favorite team are not always winner at the end. Real Madrid from history to their player quality and performances in this season, are considerable stronger than Dortmund and given odds before the final shows this. They will take the fifteenth Champions League title if they win this one and there are some people who either fans of Dortmund or fans of other clubs don't want it to happen. Clubs like AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Barcelona with 7, 6, 6 and 5 titles probably support Dortmund in this final. honestly I'm still wondering how the hell they are in this final, but anyway it's a fact that Dortmund is in the final of the European Champions League
I know that there are some people You will disagree when I say that Dortmundo is not very strong
Opponents of Dortmund in previous rounds like group stage, round of 16, quarter final and semi finals include some big teams AC Milan, Newcastle United, Atletico Madrid and PSG asked this question many times. You don't have to worry about that and Dortmund deserved to appear in the final match by beating many strong opponents along the way to final match. They will not play the final in a way they will lose it and I expect Dortmund to bring big challenge to Real Madrid, in their defensive efforts first. If Real Madrid let Dortmund scores an opening goal, they might get big trouble to break Dortmund's defense system. |

Real Madrid needs to be wary of Dortmund because we have seen two finals in other competitions end beyond most people's predictions.
Manchester United and Atalanta are motivation for Dortmund because even though they are inferior in quality to their opponents, they managed to surprise them.
Real Madrid with their abundant experience through many Champions League season, many impressive come backs and final matches, are actually know risk if they play carelessly in a final match. Latest shock results from Atalanta and Manchester United are big warnings for Real Madrid before the final match. It is possible that a trend like this will be repeated by Dortmund because now they are much more motivated to make new history for the club. If you look at it in terms of quality, experience and readiness, Real Madrid will be quite the favorite, but anything can happen if Real Madrid considers this match easy.
If two teams, Real Madrid and Dortmund play like 10 matches with each other, Real Madrid will get more winnings than Dortmund because they are simply stronger than the opponent. However, we will have only one final match between them and with only one match, Dortmund can make a surprising win and lift the trophy. Leverkusen is an example, they can be unbeaten in 51 matches but only one match, they lost and also lost Europa League trophy. Both Real Madrid and Dortmund need only one more win to get Champions League trophy, a 15th for Real Madrid while a 2nd for Dortmund in this club history. |

I disagree that accepting crypto to your hardware wallet while running a business is a good practice
And my friend seem so focused on the safety, I told him that long term holding is why hardware wallets are good choice not day to day transactions.
If you do daily transactions, but not too often, it's good to use hardware wallets. If you do one or two transactions daily, go with hardware wallets if you have it. Hot wallet is more risky and it should never be a wallet type to store all or main of your capital. Hot wallets are good for day to day transactions, activities that involve solving tasks to make more tokens like testnets and airdrops, connecting to uniswap and other Dex for purchases, in the end you move your valuable assets into a hardware wallet for a long term safekeeping.
From business to testnet and airdrop, and trading, do you see what is wrong here? I personally use the software wallets (non-custodial in particular) as they are less expensive than your hardware wallets.
But you should choose the non-custodial to be on a safer side.
Software wallets can be non custodial or custodial and the enough recommendation need both, open source and non custodial. Your friend must learn to know how to backup a wallet and recovery it. Wallets. Backup your seed phrase, extended phrase, derivation path. How to back up a seed phrase |

I do come across threads that have been inactive for more than four months and all of a sudden you will just see a user make a reply on such post that have been inactive for a long time and possibly the discussion is the OP looks concluded from previous replies of other users and this is mostly done by newbies so is it necessary to wake up an inactive thread
First you can see those inactive threads pumped by newbie accounts but it does not stop here. Next is not newbie members, but high-ranking members, who did not notice how old that thread is, not only four months but maybe four years or older, was pumped by a newbie. They joined those discussions and did not know that they just replied to a non sense post from newbie. I don't know how newbies can find threads that already are inactive some years, and bump it. the OP is to be blamed for not locking the thread when the thread became inactive and the information required by the OP has been ascertained
OP can lock it and should do it but if OP did not lock it, months later, it was bumped by newbies, it's hard to say the spam is because of OP. Other posters who join those discussions have responsibility too by did not read OP, but only reply to a newbie's post to reactive an inactive thread. |

thanks for the link, I kept the link well because it took me a long time to look at this site and it really is a site that offers good data on injured players from many teams and it allows you to see injured players from many leagues
It has information on injured players and estimated time of their return, but it has more, information about suspended players too. Two big information types that can help you to guess what players will be available for a next match. I confess that if I had seen this site a lot Early on, something like at the beginning of this season, my analysis of the games would have been much better, because in many games I had to wait for them to release the squad before I could place my bet, the problem was that when they release the squad the odds tend to change a lot , and in the case of odds on favorite teams they tend to drop a lot most of the time, but with this site you posted I will be able to see injured players and place bets very early with high odds and with better precision
Odds is dynamic and you are right, if you wait for announcement of eleven players in the squad, shortly before the match, you will not get best odds for your bet. Guess eleven chosen players can be tricky even with support from that site on injured and suspended players, but it is still better than only guess from your own thinking, without any information. I don't know how that site get information on injured players and their medical record, when they will come back, but I compared their information with player return time, that is good enough in accuracy. |

What made you use throwaway email for this op? as I only use such for accounts I never cared much or willing to throwaway. If you're worried about exposing your email address, perhaps an email alias service could be of some use to you.
theymos advised that if user didn't use an actual email for account registration, a throw away or non existing email for registration, that user can change it to an email address with the forum domain. It's safer. Make sure that your email address is secure. If you don't want to set an email address, use something like yourUserName@invalid.bitcointalk.org; don't use a random nonsense email like y@x.com, since somebody might create that domain/email.
Perhaps you might be interested on password managers like keepass.info? this made things so much more convenient for me as I only need to remember one password to access hundres of my accounts lol. Plus your keepass database is stored locally and is encrypted. Passwords are also better off randomized though computer generated would be better than humans which fortunately, keepass also offers.
[Guide] How to create and use a strong password?Keepass is available for Android too. https://keepass.info/https://keepassxc.org/download/#windowshttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?hl=en&id=com.android.keepasshttps://pwsafe.org/https://proton.me/passAvoid LastPass because they have security incident. |

P2P works like magic to me since banks won’t be suspicious on fund transfers on my bank account because I have business which frequently gives me multiple transactions from other people for payment. P2P transactions from crypto makes it looks like a regular business transaction which gives me a space to breath from audit.
What is the P2P platform you use? Because some P2P platform can have a template for their users in a bank transfer between two peers. The template can be one of hints that data analysts can look at and it's not easy to detect a common bank transfer template in many transactions. Does your P2P platform give you a template information to use? Choosing Centralized services is proven hassle when dealing with high amounts since they frequently notify banks about the transaction that it involves crypto which creates problem. I experienced freezing of bank assets just because I received too much fiat from crypto assets which bank doesn’t allow as part of their ToS.
How did they know you receive your fiat from crypto assets? I would like to know, but if you think it's secret, I understand if you don't share and I respect your privacy. |

Genoa beat Bologna with 2 - 0 goals.. Yapp, this time, Bologna was defeated.
Even though this is like a farewell for Bologna and Motta. It has been rumored that he has signed a contract with Juventus. Maybe it's true that they are already not chasing victory, but they should really be careful and also optimize their last match this season. But is it true that Motta's departure is one of the reasons why the players are not so optimal this time?
The defeat of Bologna makes last matches in Serie A more exciting but it is not good news for Roma. Roma need Atalanta to end this season at the fifth position, not at any higher rank but Bologna already finished this season with 68 points, Atalanta have 66 points but they have to more matches and if they win only one of two remaining matches, they will at least end at the fourth positon. If it happens, Roma will not get a spot to Champions League, this defeat of Bologna is very bad news for Roma. Will Atalanta lose all two remaining matches or get like one draw, one defeat, I don't know. If there is no pressure from FIGC on Atalanta to help Roma, it's impossible for Roma to get that spot. |

The German side don't have that quality we're all looking for but they can cause a lot of damage in that encounter, they shouldn't be underrated and I'm looking forward for that to happen, like the Madrid players are good but their previous achievement will get into their head, they'll feel like the game is all about them. Dortmund may not have the Vinicius Jr, Bellingham or the Rodrygo but you see their (Dortmund) front line, they can cause same problem to Madrid.
Dortmund don't have a squad with many star players like Real Madrid but they have quality, discipline and ambition that combine together to make their strength as a united team. This helps them to beat many stronger, more valuable squad and go to the final match. Vinicius and Rodrygo have very good speed but I believe Dortmund already had experience in their semi final matches with PSG. PSG have Mbappe and Dembele who are speedy players too but we can see Dortmund prepared their tactics and players to reduce danger from these attacking players very well. Vinicius and Rodrygo will not have an easy final match to play and to maximize their speed to tear apart Dortmund defense system. Don't get this season's performance of Dortmund as something they have been doing, is only this season we're seeing the best of Dortmund and I hope they won't lose this form next season, first thing first, let the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE title go with them to Germany before we talk about them and their form.
Clubs like Dortmund can have stable good performances in their domestic league and in Champions League but they barely have chance to win titles. This season is one of very scarce chance for Dortmund to win one more Champions League title, the second one in their club history after a first one in 1996 - 1997 season. |

I read a few days ago, Lightning Labs, (the developer behind Bitcoin's Lightning Network) successfully performed the first tests of enabling stablecoins on the Bitcoin blockchain. Will this start a new wave of network spamming?
New demand will cause new transactions and mempools will be overloaded than now but will people spam the network with stable coin transactions, I don't know. I guess it can be true demand for transactions because it's non sense to make a stable coin transaction and hope to get rich with stable coin. It is different than their hope to get rich with NFTs, Inscriptions so less reasons for spam. Maybe it will be a good thing for new businesses, but somehow every good idea eventually turns into its opposition with the appearance of many fast and easy money ideas.
Bitcoin blockchain is more secure than altcoin blockchains but I am really curious and unsure how it can help peg of a stable coin? In my thinking, the peg of a stable coin depends on how that team design that stable coin and their treasury of $ to peg that stablecoin, for example. It does not depend on Bitcoin blockchain. Is this really necessary in the Bitcoin blockchain?
If it does not cause network spam to convert bitcoin to dust, like transactions for Ordinals, Runes, I think it is good enough to accept as part of Bitcoin blockchain. |

Gasperini may leave Atalanta at the end of the season.
He said without saying that he has an offer from a big team and he is thinking about it.
Soon we will know final decision of Gasperini and Atalanta. He is a main contributor to design many strategies that help Atalanta to build up a sustainable and competitive club with limited budget last 10 years. Finally he win a first title in his career with a club he loves and contributes a lot. Does this Europa League title change Gasperini plan as he sneak peeked that he might leave the club? Atalanta surely will spend a lot of efforts to convince Gasperini to stay but decision belongs to Gasperini. If he only want to leave at top, he will not sign a new contract with Atalanta. If he loves the club, want to contribute more and retire here as a legend, he will change his mind and stay with them. His statement is not an ambiguous statement, based on the news I read on the internet, after successfully bringing Atalanta to become UEL champions, Gasperini was immediately offered a contract by Napoli but he had to talk first with executives at the Atalanta team regarding what his future at Atalanta would be.
OFC, the offer from Napoli is an offer that's difficult to refuse considering Napoli is a team that has more capacity to compete in Serie A. IMO he will not continue with Atalanta & will go to Napoli.
Napoli are a bigger club than Atalanta and have better so they can give Gasperini more opportunities to upgrade his coach career and reach a higher level. An offer from Napoli will be very interesting and hard to refuse. Only very big love for Atalanta will force Gasperini to refuse such offer from Napoli. |

If Roma wants to buy new players then De Rossi must look for players who are really needed and very important. Because we know that when adding players, the management has to spend a very large amount of money and pay the new players until their contracts are finished. Roma management does not want to waste money on players who are not very important. I'm sure the management has thoughts like that. If De Rossi has found a player with the skills that are really needed, the management will provide full support.
Roma will not give De Rossi good budget for player transfer in the summer. It's because their finance is not actually good and they gave Mourinho very limited transfer budget last three years so the same will be given to De Rossi. Some months ago, rumor even spreads that Roma will consider to sell their captain to get money and if this is true, no chance for De Rossi to get money for transfer. A more realistic transfer approach for De Rossi is finding players as free agents and convince them to join Roma or try to get some good players from loan transfer. The most important thing is that Roma must be able to get Lukaku permanently from Chelsea. Because we all know that Lukaku at Roma is only a loan player. Meanwhile, his contribution has been huge for Roma in this season. So it is very feasible for Roma to make Chelsea sell Lukaku to Roma in the next transfer window.
Chelsea will not let Lukaku move to Roma permanently with too cheap transfer cost but Lukaku is very important for Roma attacking in this season. Roma will need to convince Dybala to stay with them as well as if they lose both Lukaku and Dybala, their attacking power will drop more than half. It will affect their performances next season a lot and they will struggle to fight for high position in Serie A. |

I'm doubt that DeFi, AI, NFT & Gaming on Bitcoin will be success .. What do you really think about these narratives called Layer 2 And Defi on Bitcoin? You have to look at it deeper like is DeFi, AI, NFT & Gaming altcoin projects are scam? Because scam or not, it starts with core idea to build up those projects as bad product ideas will lead to bad products, little or no use case and utility for the products, tokens. No actual intrinsic value, no chance to gain good price on the market. Altcoin blockchains or Bitcoin blockchain is only infrastructure on which those projects built but altcoin or Bitcoin blockchain does not decide these project's value and their token's value. |

my post is a little late, but I must say that I'm not very surprised by this result, Atalanta beat Liverpool in that competition, so it was already clear that Atalanta could beat big teams
Atalanta are one of challenging teams in Serie A last 10 years and with Gasperini as their head coach, they made big surprise in Champions League years ago and managed to compete for a fourth position in Serie A recent years. This shows their quality, competitiveness and quality recent seasons and in Europa League this season, they won over Liverpool at Anfield stadium with a big result, 3 goal difference at a home-away stadium. This shows Atalanta were not fearful against Liverpool and they shown it again in the final match. In the final, in my opinion, they did not present a solidity equal to Atalanta in terms of performance in this competition and this could mean that Leverkusen could have a bad performance in the champions league next season. Most teams that perform well in the local league and do not have a coach with great experience in European competitions tend to fail in European competitions.
It's a bad day for Leverkusen and it is a great day for Atalanta as a team and Lookman individually. All three shots of Lookman are powerful and fantastic, then it's hard for any goalkeeper can make saves against those shots. Atalanta played well in the final and their big win comes from excellent shots of Lookman because it's his day. |

Indeed, this news is quite surprising because after all, Pochettino is also still able and managed to make Chelsea get a Conference League ticket. Although it is still far to be able to finish in the topfour but at least, Pochettino still has a good effort and it was proven at the end of theseason that Pochettino also managed to improve the quality of Chelsea, and Pochettino also managed to make Chelsea finish in the top six.
The coach had a dinner with Chelsea's owner Boehly but they maybe disagreed in plans for the summer transfer and next season, though their separation after that dinner and serious talk is nothing to be surprised. If Boehly did not see Pochettino had acceptable management for Chelsea in this season, he would sack Pochettino without organizing that dinner and talk about future with the coach. Because anyway, if we compare it with Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham I think Pochettino is still better because he is able to rise even though the pressure he has to face is so heavy and certainly not easy.
This decision looks to be not a safe and wise decision from Boehly because Pochettino is not too seriously fighting against club owners like Mourinho and Conte, and he can provide quality in management and stability in performances for Chelsea. With a new coach, like rumor is De Zebri, I still see risk for success in next season for Chelsea. Pochettino at least has enough experienced with big clubs from Premier League to Lique 1 and even had experience to run for Premier League title and went far in Champions League. |

Leverkusen vs Atalanta today's UEFA Europa League final match is going to be held at Aviva Stadium, Dublin Ireland.   This will be an interesting match between two clubs with coaches and players who are keen on attacking football. Everyone knows about Leverkusen performances and unbeaten record so far, I don't think it's necessary to talk about them. About Atalanta, they have a coach, Gasperini who is ambitious to win a first title in his coach career and he is favorite attacking football. It will be interesting to see how two attacking teams will play against each other in the final match. In today's match both the teams will attack enough to become champions and they will continue to fight a lot to win the title, this match will surely be interesting and hard fought. Leverkusen though is a much stronger team at the moment and they will attack enough to win the trophy and most likely to win the title. Leverkusen, the only team still unbeaten going into the finals, were voted the most in-form this season.
Xabi Alonso let Leverkusen plays very attacking in this season but he is cleverly to command his players to calm down and reduce playing intensity at a right time within each match if necessary. I believe Xabi Alonso will not let his players go playing seriously attacking and lose control of their minds. It's risky as Atalanta shown in their first quarter final match with Liverpool, that how dangerous they are in counter attacking. |
