A poll has been to the thread. Which team will win the Champions League final will it be Manchester City or Inter Milan. I will be confident enough Inter Milan will be champions of Europe when the two teams meet in Istanbul on 10th June 2023.

Manchester City have already won the domestic double and on course for a treble but I think Inter Milan will win the game and that would leave Manchester City manager Guardiola still with Champions League trophies way back in 2009 and 2011 when on both occasions they beat Manchester United in the finals.

With the amount of money Manchester City have at their disposal being backed up by the Abu Dhabi state, they should have won several Champions League titles by now but they have zero.

The score was correct at 2-1 but instead of guessing correctly that Manchester United would win it was Manchester City that won 

I have to congratulate them on the win and on winning the domestic double. Having said that I saw the game and like Inter Milan would not be too worried. I think Inter Milan will win the Champions League final.

RESULT:

Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United

Manchester City have completed the Premier League and FA Cup double. They are also in the final of the Champions League and if they overcome Inter Milan they will win the treble making them the second team after Manchester United in 1999 to achieve that record.

Manchester City have been brilliant throughout most of the season and they are clearly odds-on favourites to win as far as most bookmakers are concerned but Manchester United is the only British team ever to have completed a treble in the same season consisting of the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League therefore they will try their best to stop Manchester City winning today.

From a Manchester United perspective even if Manchester City win the Champions League against Inter Milan it would not mean a treble if they can win the game today. Also, they will be hoping they lost today and against Inter Milan.

From a Manchester City perspective, they are on the verge of making history and just two games are in their path, they will try their best to win those games therefore both cup finals will be entertaining games to watch  

The odds you received will be changing periodically as always happens and I only listed the odds that Sky gave (Manchester City: 8/15, DRAW: 100/30, Manchester United: 9/2) but to be honest I have no interest on the odds because this game will be too difficult to call.

This game could be a one sided demolition which sees either team winning 5-0 or it could be close with either team winning 1-0. It could be decided in extra-time or go to penalties.

Overall because of the history of what is at stake I think Manchester United will end up winners as Manchester City will not be able to live up to the pressure of being the in the hunt for the treble. I said it a different thread and will reiterate (my opinion here) I think Manchester City will lose both the FA Cup final against Manchester United and the Champions League final against Inter Milan.

These are the latest odds that I can find on the score after 90 minutes of play and Manchester City are clear favourites to win but this is a cup final and not only can anything happen but the underdogs have a habit of causing upsets.

HOME: 8/15
DRAW: 100/30
AWAY: 9/2


The biggest advantage Manchester City have is their squad is virtually fit whereas Manchester United do have a few injuries but that cannot be an excuse because the squad for any top level team should be strong enough to cover any unforeseen injuries.

You are right without a doubt  

Will you place a bet?

A poll has been added now to ask for your opinions on who you think will win the FA Cup when the two teams meet at Wembley Stadium on 3rd June 2023.

If Manchester City win they will go in to the Champions League final against Inter Milan with the prospect of winning the treble and that is incentive enough for Manchester United to win the game and end the season with 3rd place in the Premier League as well as by winning the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.

It will be a close game but I think the score will be Manchester City 1-2 Manchester United  

Cryptotalk was always synonymous with spamming and low-level posting and that was from the days it was being promoted in this forum by the Yobit team (if memory serves correct Yobit own/operate Cryptotalk).

As for Altcointalk, I never used it but did have a brief look at it to see what it was about and it seems to be nothing special but from the outside looking in this forum will probably be seen as nothing special too. I guess Twitter it is then 

Twitter has come a long way in the pecking order for Bitcoin and crypto enthusiasts in general because once upon a time it was not the place to be for those types of discussions.

What are your views on the Altcoinstalk and Cryptotalk forums specifically about why crypto enthusiasts do (or do not) use them? It has to be realated to something beyond spam and content quality because those issues are being suffered in this forum too.

Well this response from you certainly puts a new angle on the subject matter.

I have not determined or concluded whether or not AI was used but well done for you to come here and to stand your ground. If you say you did not use AI and there is no certain way to prove you did or you did not then creating this thread was probably a waste of time when the OP could have sent you a PM to discuss the issue beforehand.

Sevilla 1-1 Roma
Sevilla won the game 4-1 on penalties


After the game Mourinho was verbally abusing the referee in the car park, it was the first European final Mourinho had lost as a manager and it was a tough game. Roma had enough chances to win and probably should have but Sevilla had many chances in the second half to put the game away yet failed.

As always with penalties there can never be certainty the best or better team win, in this case the jury is out about who deserved to win over 90 minutes or extra-time but Sevilla are Europa League champions again and congratulations to them.

As far as I know it would make zero difference which jurisdiction the website (or any website) is operating out of because the domain itself (which is .com in this case) can be seized by law enforcement agencies.

As of yet, the 1xbit/1xbit1 website probably has not received enough attention for them to take action but sooner or later one of two things will most probably happen. Either the 1xbit/1xbit1 owners will close down and exit-scam or their domain will be seized effectively shutting them down until they re-open using another domain.

I could have added a third option but that would be an almost impossible task entailing 1xbit/1xbit1 to become a genuine scam-free business but we all are quite sure that will not be happening.

Having neutral or negative trust should not automatically mean the candidate should be overlooked for participation in any bounty or signature campaign. All those matters should be at the discretion of the campaign manager.

You can say that again, many (mostly new) members probably do not know how to use the trust system properly and I agree with you as I mentioned above, a negative or neutral tag should not really be the ultimate reason for a campaign manager to refuse a member participation in a campaign.

Surely not me 

That is true. If a member conducts within a local board in accordance with local traditions which could be deemed appropriate/normal/acceptable it does not mean those patterns will be deemed appropriate/normal/acceptable in the global boards but having said that we are clutching at straws because the OP has not even made the issue fully known therefore almost impossible to comment upon.

I guess the only way we can ever know the answers to your questions is if you (or someone else) were to ask him for an explanation.

From experience it is quite clear when most shady behaviour is called out and questioned there might be some resistance as the culprit tries to save associated accounts from being tagged but eventually they give up on those accounts and start focusing on the other accounts they have farmed for signature campaigns or nefarious purposes.

https://cryptonews.com/news/after-eight-years-of-dormancy-long-forgotten-ethereum-ico-wallet-resurfaces-with-15-million-worth-of-funds.htm

At the time of the ICO 1x ETH was sold for around $0.31 therefore the 8000 ETH would have cost the owner around $2480 back in 2017. Those 8000 ETH are now worth around $15 million today.

The article suggests the funds may have been dormant on a Ledger and since Ledger launched their Recover service many people have been taking crypto off Ledgers as a safety precaution.

Glad to read to you had a pleasant experience withdrawing your funds. Would you be able to elaborate on whether you were happy with the amount of anonymity mining rewards on top of the actual signature campaign funds?

Thank you for looking in to this. It is evident AI is becoming more of a problem within the forum and it seems to be growing on a daily basis. As far as a I can see things will only get worse.

I would say there are not that many real/genuine active users. What I mean by real/genuine active users is a number well below 56,000 (possibly a couple of thousand at most). That number would increase by several thousand if including real/genuine users that are logging in every 3+ months.

Can you provide links to where have people gone to discuss crypto related matters? Apart from "altcoinstalks" and "cryptotalk" there is not much that comes to mind except occasional questions you might find on "stackoverflow"

I agree, any external party looking at the forum from the outside will most probably (at first glance) see this forum as a spammers paradise and that has to be one of the most off-putting elements for new user base retention.

Looking through the posts made in the early years of the forum the priority for those members overwhelmingly seemed to be about learning and contributing.

At some stage after it became monetised beyond the point of PayPal (or pizza) for BTC the momentum shifted to something that is more to do with an individual making money for themselves from bounties and signature campaigns rather than contributing for the better of the community as a whole. I am not saying there is anything wrong with that but if the whole premise of using this forum is based on making an income for the individual it no longer is about what it originally set out to be.

It was mentioned before if signature campaigns were removed from this forum in the hope of cleaning it up, there would be almost nobody left to post and it would render the forum effectively as a museum (as you put it).

What exactly is this reply supposed to mean? This is your first post in this thread yet you imply you posted before and not only that you are posting absolute nonsense in relation to the subject matter.

I have gone through your post history and can put together your motive here is to simply build up your account for joining signature campaigns when you are able to and until then to join bounties.

Posting text for the sake of posting does not help you build your account, it hinders your account as it gets noticed and then tagged.

Europa League Final

Sevilla vs Roma

The Europa League final is being played this evening. They are currently at half-time and Roma are winning by scoring the solitary goal by Dybala. It looks as though Roma manager Jose Mourinho is going to get yet another European trophy to add to his portfolio.

I already left negative feedback for Coinplay some time back (because of their whole conduct throughout the scam allegation) even though I am late posting in this thread, I wanted to highlight what you wrote because that is ultimately what forum members opinions most probably should be based on.

In the end there should be no serious debate about what did or did not take place between the OP and Coinplay because after AskGamblers made their ruling that road is now closed. Anyway, since both parties agreed to take their claim and counter-claim to AskGamblers the common sense outcome would be to accept their judgement otherwise why agree to let AskGamblers evaluate the allegation.

Coinplay have destroyed their reputation in this forum over a 0.291 BTC payout and the chances are they will never be able to repair the damage even if they return and pay the OP what he is owed. Will the flags and feedback be revised/removed by all those tagged?
