Both schalke and koln managed to win today in an away game despite being a huge underdog, koln are already safe from relegation and schalke team managed to escape from the zone for now bulter had a huge role in his team win after scoring two goals one of them was in the extra time giving his team important points.

I am pretty sure, that the win of Schalke 04 means much more to them than the win of Cologne means to themself. I mean Cologne was pretty much 99% safe already before the match happened today so of course now they are totally safe but not that much has changed, but of course a win is always great.
For Schalke on the other hand that win today was very important you just need to take a look at the Bundesliga table to understand how important the win today was. Schalke now went from rank 17 to rank 14. Now all the other clubs that are still fighting to stay in the first Bundesliga are under a huge amount of pressure in the games tomorrow. Schalke can lean back and watch those games. I am sure that at least 2 out of those 3 teams that are now behind schalke will lose points tomorrow.

Crypto is a digital currency that comprises different coins. It's important that we understand how this coin works and which to invest in. How do we identify the best coin and the period to invest in these types of coins?

If you ask 10 people about which crypto project is the best to invest in, then i am pretty sure, that you will get at least 8 different answers to that question, because nowadays there are just so many cryptocurrencies out there that it is totally overwhelming. I would guess that there are hundreds of new crypto projects created each and every day of course 99% of those are just stupid meme-coins that are dead again in a few days anyway so i would not really count them in for a possible investment.
I also have to say, that i don't agree with the statement of bitcoin maximalists, that there is only one good project and that is bitcoin. In my opinion there are a lot of good altcoins out there that are already very big and that are offering a lot of functionality to it's users.

Bayern Munich is trying to save their season by retaining the German Bundesliga while Borussia Dortmund is also trying to end Bayern Munich's dominance in the league for the past 9 years.
The contest for who wins this season's German league will surely gonna last till the last matchday of the season and that's what's more interesting about it. I think Bayern are gonna retain the league but that's guaranteed to happen if they win the remaining fixtures of the season.

Bayern definitely had a huge advantage over Borussia Dortmund at the moment in the fight for the Bundesliga title. Not only because Bayern is now ahead 1 point and have it in their own hands now but also because the way that this happened. Dortmund was already in front of Bayern two times in this season and then immediately after they gave that lead away again. They have lost against Bayern in Munich which can always happen, but then they also did not manage to win against VfB Stuttgart and against Bochum and now i think the momentum is just on the side of Bayern Munich.
That being said, one week ago Dortmund had the big advantage so you never know. Bayern can easily lose some points against Werder Bremen tomorrow.
264  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WHAT IS BITCOINMARIUS? on: May 05, 2023, 09:53:19 AM
Recently,i came across a post,where the writer talked about a new cryptocurrency, called the BITCOINMARIUS. i havent really heard of such coin before so i decided to do some research and found out that this coin has actually been in existence since 2017. I really dont know, if this is true because i just couldnt get enough information about this coin from google search engines.I also asked AI but it seemed that this coin is no where to be found. the writerMartin Reid claims that this coins shares same futures as bitcoin, representing a new era of cryptocurrency and COULD EVENTUALLY REPLACE BITCOIN AS A DOMINANT CRYPTOCURRENCY. i really dont know how they came up with this idea. please does anyone have an idea of what this is all about? i would be glad if someone helped me understand better

here is a link to the article published on March 28 2023
https://futureincrypto.com/bitcoin/bitcoin-marius-the-rise-of-cryptocurrency/

I only flew over the article that you have linked but i am pretty sure that his project is really nothing special. I mean everyone can claim that there project is the next big thing or even that it will replace bitcoin as the leading project in the crypto space. Those are just words and everyone can write them down. If you give me 10 minutes of time i can also write an article about a new crypto project, that is better than any existing one out there.
Also i have not found any exchange or something were Bitcoin Marius would be listed even though the article says it can be bought on exchanges. So i would guess this is just another Bitcoin fork that is either already dead again or never really became alive. Just stay away from it.
265  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why does Cardano get so much hate? on: May 04, 2023, 05:37:33 PM
I'm a fan of cardano and I think it is making great progress these past years especially last few. But in the crypto community, cardano just seems to be getting hate and also from crypto media. They do not point out the great upgrades and updates that ada is having but just seem to talk about the bad or not true.

Why do you think this happens?  Cheesy

I don't really know if Cardano really gets that much hate in comparison to other projects. XRP for example gets way more hate for their centralization than Cardano at least in my personal opinion. Also it is completely normal in the crypto space that there is a lot of hate happening, which is sad, but it is just the reality. There are people that once were invested into Cardano but then sold at the wrong time and made a loss and now they have a bad opinion about Cardano obviously and now they are trying to harm the project by talking bad about it. This happens with basically every project out there and i would not really worry about it.

This week Leverkusen will host their opponent Koln and it looks like this will be a fairly easy match for Leverkusen to secure full points at home. As we know, in the last 9 matches Leverkusen have never tasted defeat and if they manage to win this match it will be 10 unbeaten matches for Leverkusen.

For Cologne, at the moment they are still in their best performance, it's just that in the previous week they lost to Freiburg with a narrow score, but their statistics are still pretty good. From the last 5 matches they have only lost 1. When talking about head to head these two teams are still dominated by Leverkusen, it is very difficult for any team to be able to stop Xabi Alonso's squad from winning. My prediction is that the match will end with a score of 3-1 and I think there's nothing wrong with taking a -0.75 handicap bet with odds @1.79 for a Leverkusen win to get a better result.

For me Leverkusen is the big favorite here, even though there last performance was not as impressive as the ones before, but they have played against Union Berlin in the last match and everyone knows that Union is very good at defending their goal and a lot of good teams were not able to score a goal against Union so i would not rate that draw to highly. Cologne is playing a pretty good season for their standards and they should already be safe to not be relegated down to second Bundesliga, which is always their first and most important target.
Even though Leverkusen has a good streak they also need to win this one because at the moment Wolfsburg is only 2 points behind them.

I believe that Inter and Milan are at similar strength right now. I don't think it will be the same for Milan as a result after facing a very tough challenge against Napoli in the previous round. They should be able to balance the game in both legs this time. The stadium is the same for both teams in the end so technically there is no home-away situation exactly.
Milan seem like they have lost their concentration a little in the Serie A. Because they had big issues with beating Cremonese the last time and couldn't as well. Maybe they have their mind on the Champions League now. They had better have because there is a huge opportunity to reach the finale in their hands.

I agree, that the clash of the two teams from Milan is totally open as they just seem to be pretty much on the exact same level at the moment. The draw of Milan in the Serie A is very unlucky for them obviously because the race for the champion League spots is very tight this year but i don' think this will mean that much for the Champions League match because this is a totally different competition and for both clubs probably the biggest match they had for at least 5 years or so.
That being said, it doesn't matter which one of those teams will advance into the final because either one would be the huge underdog against Manchester City or Real Madrid, but then again this is football and everything can happen in a final.
268  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How Confident Are you With Altcoin In This Time on: May 04, 2023, 12:41:28 PM
Quite a lot have happened in the crypto investment market with the long run of a bear market in 2022, as a result of the various market crisis ranging from ftx bankruptcy and Luna crash that affect the market for a long time, before the present recovery, many crypto analysts such as myself are confused as for what the level of confidence of investors towards altcoins in this period. Do you consider any altcoin to be pf future profiting, if yes then what is the percentage calculation of your confidence level in that coin and why should we hold them for a long-term basis?

Well i think it is pretty hard to give a general statement of the confidence in altcoins as a whole because nowadays we have literally thousands and thousands of altcoins out there and there are huge differences between them. Quite a big percentage of the altcoins out there are just useless meme-coins that are only launched to earn quick and easy money and that are dead again within a few days, so obviously my confidence in such projects is very low and i would never touch then.
There are also several altcoin projects out there already that are already multi billion dollar companies like Ethereum, Binance and KuCoin for example. So my confidence in such projects is pretty high. I mean you can never know for sure after what happened to Luna but those projects should be as safe as it gets within the crypto space.
269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 03, 2023, 04:42:01 PM
It looks like Manchester United have already determined their alternative strikers to transfer this summer in case of failing to bring Harry Kane. These candidates look like Kolo Muani, Tammy Abraham and Lautaro Martinez. Kolo Muani's performance here might be suspicious. And I would prefer Martinez over an Abraham transfer honestly.

Today i read a news article that Bayern Munich has also lost interest in signing Harry Kane in the summer because it seems like he wants to stay at Tottenham and also Bayern is afraid that Kane may not be as successful if they sign him as it happened with Sadio Mane who also was a huge star back at his former club. The top candidates for Bayern Munich are now apperently Kolo Muani or Osimhen from Napoli. I would guess that Kolo Muani would prefer to go to Bayern Munich instead of Manchester United if he has an offer from both clubs at the same time because Bayern simply is the better club at the moment.

It got launch now at $2 Ath and currently $1.25 now on different exchange. I think it did created hype over the past few days and we will see if they could climb up the ladders to even top 30 projects on crypto. Right now they are at 72nd place and if this goes to over $1b maybe it could reach $3 to 5 and so on, depends on the market situation.

Well it seems like, i am pretty stupid for not trying to get a ticket in order to invest into the public sale on KuCoin. I thought that 0,1$ was already way to high for a tokensale price because that meant a 1 Billion dollar valuation right at the token sale, which seemed just way to high for me. Now the token is trading at around 1,3$ and i could have made my initial investment back + some extra profit on top by only selling the 1/13 of the total amount that was unlocked today and all the rest of the 10k Sui tokens would be pure profit zone, so i am pretty angry at myself at the moment, but it is what it is. That being said, i don't think that the price will stay this high. I mean we are at almost 14 Billion $ FDV at the moment for a very new project.
271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 03, 2023, 10:16:46 AM
Dortmund only tried to take advantage of the opportunity to compete with their rivals when they saw that the conditions of their rivals were no better and this has been successfully done by Dortmund even though Dortmund have not been able to ensure themselves champions in the Bundesliga. Because Dortmund still need to win every remaining game until the end of this season.
And one more thing, I don't think it's right to blame Tuchel for the performance experienced by Bayern Munich so far because Tuchel is a new coach who generally hasn't coached Bayern Munich for a long time so it's not right to make an assessment that still looks too early for Tuchel.

Well even if Dortmund is able to win every match out of their 4 remaining one in this season, then they still need to hope, that Bayern Munich will have at least one draw at the same time. So everything Dortmund can do now is win every game and hope for a mistake of Bayern Munich. This is Dortmunds own fault though because they had 2 draws out of their last 3 Bundesliga matches.
I still think that the BVB has a pretty good chance to become Bundesliga Champion this year because the performances of Bayern Munich were very bad in a lot of matches and they still need to play against RB Leipzig for example. So it is very much possible that Bayern will lose a few points.
272  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Government's actions against crypto on: May 03, 2023, 10:13:02 AM
The US government and the cryptocurrency market are having a lot of ups and downs, and it seems like they're headed towards a very important conflict. This conflict will determine the fate of many people and companies involved in cryptocurrency. They might have to shut down or move to a different country.

It is pretty obvious why the governments and authorities of the world are so negative against cryptocurrencies as a whole in most cases. Cryptocurrencies were invented to give people a payment method, that has no middlemen or banks involved in a normal payment and that can not be controlled or seized by any government. Obviously the the authorities does not want something like that they want control over their people. That is why they are trying to hinder the growth of cryptos as much as possible.
So far though i think that the more the governments have tried to hold crypto back the more crypto as a whole has grown. So i am not worried about sanctions and stuff like that.
273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 02, 2023, 06:55:48 PM
We have thought this so many times this season. As I have already written this year will be fought until the last minute.
That applies not only to the championship but also to relegation. Every team up to place 13 can still be relegated or finish in the relegation zone. The ship has almost sailed for Hertha Berlin. A total of 12 points are still up to grab. But it will be very close with a gap of 6 points to place 16.

I agree. Given the recent few matchdays i usually would say, that there is no way that Bayern Munich will give the lead away again, now that Dortmund only achieved 2 draws out of the last 3 games. This year feels different though. It seems like there is something completely wrong with the team of Bayern Munich at the moment, because looking only at the squad and at the individual quality of it's players, then Bayern Munich should be already Bundesliga Champion again, because their squad is just so much better than those of all the other Bundesliga teams. Still Bayern is only ahead 1 point at the moment and they still have to play against Leipzig for example. Everything is still possible.
274  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Osmosis or Tezos? on: May 02, 2023, 06:51:02 PM
I'll choose Tezos.
I'm into staking coins and that's why if I'll choose, I've known more Tezos than Osmosis. Looks like Osmosis is also a good project but I haven't yet done my whole research on it.
I've just based a few details on its website and on its ranking through coinmarketcap + the volume it's got.

Osmosis also gives a pretty nice interest if you stake them. I currently have a few Osmosis on my Atmoic Wallet and there i get 22% APY as interest for staking them (for Cosmos you also get 22% on Atomic Wallet at the moment). I do not own any Tezos but i just made a quick google search and it seems that the staking APY for Tezos is "only" at around 3%.
I don't know though which of those 2 projects is the better project for the longterm. Tezos is a own blockchain that had a huge ICO round a few years ago but since then it became more and more quiet around Tezos. Osmosis is a DEX on the Cosmos Interchain. So if Cosmos will do well Osmosis should do well too.
275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 02, 2023, 09:11:08 AM
You are right, unlike the previous seasons we usually saw Bayern Munich is on first place in the table and there is no hope for other teams, this time Dortmund is very much close to winning the Bundesliga title, if they didn't lose points in the last week were in the first place of the table instead of Bayer Munich, still there is a high chance for Dortmund.

The chances of Borussia Dortmund to become Bundesliga champion were never as high in the last decade as they are now in this season. In the end it is always Bayern Munich that basically decides who becomes Bundesliga champion because if they are playing at their 90% performance level, then no other team has a chance to finish the league in front of them.
This year though Bayern is not even able to reach 50% of their performance level on many occasions and therefore Borussia Dortmund was already ahead of them a few times now in the table.
Now that Dortmund has failed to deliver two times now in 3 matches against Stuttgart and Bochum i think that Bayern is the big favorite now again to bring it home, but everything is possible, because Bayern is just so unstable at the moment.
276  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Promising altcoins? on: May 02, 2023, 09:06:35 AM
Ethereum (ETH),Binance Coin (BNB),XRP (XRP). how to choose how to distribute the interest on them?

If you ask 10 persons in here in which coins you should invest, then you will probably get 10 different answers, because everyone has their personal favorites. As the poster above me already said though, a lot of people are kinda skeptical about XRP. First of all they are basically fully centralized, which stand against the true purpose of cryptocurrencies and then there also is that SEC issue.
I personally think, that you can also look a little further down the coinmarketcap ranking to find good altcoin projects that are already very big and therefore pretty safe to invest but at the same time still have a little more room to grow than the projects that you have listed above. I personally like Cosmos for example, but as always DYOR.
277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: April 30, 2023, 06:27:57 PM
Is someone winning in this Major ? Everywhere I look on twitch chat , most of them are "322 " or "mafia call" and to be honest , there are a lot of sus games in Berlin Major and the prize pool is not so attractive and that is why I do expect trows and stuff.
Liquid slowly becomes a last patch team and this new patch is a reality check for them as they cannot figure out the patch yet and more than that , hey are picking combos from last patch..same as Talon who will end up straight to airport today.
Meanwhile , look at PSG , they missed a major and now they are dominating alongside team Aster.

I also always feel like those official Majors of Dota 2 have a pretty low prize pool. Dreamleague season 19 that ended last week for example had significantly more than the Major now. I still don't think, that we see 322 matches and planned throws here, because the teams can not only win money in the Majors but also quite a lot DPC points. I don't really know the current standings but i would guess that if you have a first or second place in a Major, then you are probably already have enough points to be qualified for The International and there the big money can be won.
So i think the teams take the Major tournaments very seriously.
278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 30, 2023, 03:07:37 PM
It will become the worst performance from bayern if the club will unable to win against hertha. if we are seeing the current state if bayern is dominating with over 82% ball possessions at this moment, while hertha has very small ball possessions and it has no a single shot on target. The game is still running at this moment. It will be a very embarassing result for bayern. I don't even know what to say caused by its not even a single goal has been made by bayern when the game time is almost touching 60 minutes.

Now a little more than 70 minutes are played and a few moments ago Bayern Munich finally managed to score a goal and it even was a pretty nice goal with a flying header of Serge Gnabry. Still the performance of Bayern was pretty poor so far in my opinion, because even though they were totally dominating the game in terms of ball possession, they just were not really able to create good chances to score.
They are just playing to slowly so Hertha never really has much problems to get back into their defensive formation, even if Bayern would have a good attack to counter.
Now that Bayern is 1-0 up it will be interesting to see if they are able to get this result over the finish line or not.

Thanks for posting this. All those things that happened in the last week are just another proving again, why the cryptomarket is still kind of a niche market in comparison to traditional financial markets, even though the growth of the crypto space in the last few years was very fast and the adoption is also increasing.
Still somehow it feels like you are only really 100% safe if you have your tokens on a hardware wallet, that was never really connected to a browser wallet or something like that. If you have your projects on a exchange, then you have the risk of losing all of it because the exchange gets hacked, goes out of service or was just a scam to begin with.

Regardless of this player's destination for next season, it's sad to see Dortmound can't keep one of the best players for another season because we know one reason for Dortmound to get these results is Bellingham during this season because Bellingham is the most valuable player in Dortmound and currently PSG and Manchester City trying to hire this player.

Well it's true that it is sad for Dortmund that they will lose their best player again after this season because they have already lost Haaland after the last season. It is alsovthe truth though that this is basically the business Model of Borussia dortmund in the last years. They are signing young and talented players from the very big clubs where those players don't get a chance to play. Then there are two options. The player will do well and will leave the club again to join one of the absolute top clubs or the player does not so well and stays in Dortmund.
