I must say that the Manchester City is the stronger team. They have consistently performed well in recent years, with a strong squad and a top-notch coach in Pep Guardiola.

Manchester City are building and improving themselves to be stronger and more competitive in Champions League. Pep Guardiola after some defeats by his weird changes in squad choosing and his obsessive perfection, looks to change himself and switch to find stable squad for Manchester City. It makes Manchester City more dangerous in Champions League and they will have bigger chance to win it without sudden strange choice from Pep Guardiola.

However, the Real Madrid is also a top team, with a long history of success and a talented roster of players.
however Real Madrid has a very long experience in UCL, I think it will be a good challenge..

True so. Real Madrid looks to be a perfect competitor that can beat Manchester City in Champions League. Will they repeat what they did in the last season against Manchester City in semi finals ?

Their striker Benzema is simply at his good form with 4 hat-tricks recent weeks. More dangerous, Real Madrid don't only have Benzema but also have some dangerous and energetic attacking players like Vini Jr., Rodrygo as well as ability to find goals from distant shots with Valverde, Kroos. They have some good alternative players like Asensio who has very good performances in the last one month.

only you know how Juventus managed to draw with Bologna, they are in crisis as a team, as are Inter and Milan.
It's embarrassing to see how the big teams are in total crisis, I don't understand how it happened but this exists today and is tangible.
Let's hope they find the strength to recover.

This draw is a 5th match Juventus can not win recently and it contributes to the very exciting race among six clubs for 3 positions in top four. Lazio, Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, AS Roma and Atalanta, they are very close to each other with 6 points in difference from Lazio to Atalanta.

The last six rounds of Serie A will be full of excitement with this race and Lazio, Juventus will have to be very carefully if they don't want to end this season beyond top four and face with less income in a next season if they won't be eligible to play in Champions League.

Napoli played this game against a team in the middle of the table and I was expecting them to win the game easily but it seems after they lose the champions league to Ac Milan you are not motivated enough, however, Napoli had many chances in this game, Napoli had 21 goal opportunities while Selernitana had just 5 goals opportunities, the problem about Napoli is they can't use the opportunities they got to finish the ball.

It is a disappointed result but with 18 points more than Lazio and only 6 matches left, it is impossible for Napoli to lose all remaining 6 matches and Lazio to win all those matches in order to equalize total points with Napoli. Even it happens, Napoli still have very better goal difference than Lazio so I believe that they will win Scudetto in this season.

No need to argue about that and maybe they will lift the trophy after a next match day.

POS coins lose their value in the long run. It is true that money increases by a certain percentage, but its value after the increase is less than its real value, and therefore you lose the value of your money.

It is called as impermanent loss with staking.

[DeFi Tutorial] What is Impermanent Loss?

Quote

The services that give you a return from the deposit are good, but they are central and you need to trust them, as it is possible and in an instant to lose your capital without compensation.

When you stake your coins, you will have to lock it on one DeFi platform and its staking pool, that means you will not only have to trust that service and their capital management as well as its solvency capability to proceed your staking claim later as well as withdraw your initial coin. There is risk of security that can cause to hack on that platform, smart contract which all can lead to new token minting from thin air as well as massive de-peg for that token value.

You are no longer control your capital when you buy a stakeable coin / token and stake it.

Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts

Quote

If you are looking for value, you will definitely stay away from all staking coins and services.

Not true. Depends on when you start staking (very early or too late) and when you exit. First it is to avoid impermanent loss. Second it is to avoid collapse of Ponzi scheme. You should know that even a Ponzi platform won't collapse at its early days. The later you join a Ponzi project, a more risk you will see its insolvency and collapse.

Bayern munich has been inconsistent in the bundesliga this season, they are still close to the top of the table and if they beat Hertha Berlin today they will take the first position from Dortmund. The bundesliga is not so competitive, because even if Bayern munich do not play well they can still win the bundesliga title, and if they win it this season, Dortmund should know that they have let their fans down because this season was a good opportunity for them to win the title from Bayern munich after many years of them winning it.

Bayern Munich is like PSG in Ligue 1. They are strongest teams in their national leagues but in some seasons, they are not best teams in performances. However, they still win those leagues because other clubs fail to play better than those giants. It is coincidence sometimes too, as when other clubs have excellent forms in a long season, Bayern Munich and PSG simply have their outstanding seasons too.

Anyway if a club can not take advantage given by a competitor a few times in one season, they are not deserve to be winner in their league. Dortmund looks to be a club like that in this season. They still have time but they will probably have to chase Bayern Munich after this week.

I have always said this about Dortmund. They can never be relied on. Even before their draw to Bochum, I always knew they will slip up and let Bayern take the lead. All Bayern needs to do now is win all their remaining matches and they have won the league.

At least Dortmund is one of best competitors against Bayern Munich in Bundesliga. They are one of very limited clubs which won Bayern Munich in Bundesliga and won the league. Only a couple of clubs in the last 20 years as I remember are Dortmund, Stuttgart, Bremen and Wolfsburg. Since 2012 - 2013 season, only one champion Bayern Munich.

Bundesliga champions

Congratulations to Bitcoin, which just reached a record-high 564,839 transactions in the last 24 hours. This means the world's most famous cryptocurrency is now being utilized more than ever

Do you know what is it come from?

Increases in usage of Segwit and Lightning Network or just people are making smaller value transactions that can be contributed by small bitcoin users rather than Bitcoin whales. An increasing adoption for Bitcoin is going an soon its blocks will be fulled by bigger demand.

In future I think Bitcoin developers will have to work and bring proposal to increase its block size like in 2017 with Segwit. Bitcoin community will vote to support that proposal and hopefully it won't be a mess like 2017 Segwit.

This is still one of the simplest methods I use to identify phishing sites. Despite the fact that hackers and fraudsters are becoming more knowledgeable and devious by the day, the addition of "s" to the "http" which indicates that the website is encrypted and secured with a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate remains the simple check I use on phishing sites. The SSL certificate provides additional security and protection to websites.

Nonetheless, phishers have begun to use 'https://,' so this aspect is no longer a sure sign.

What is SSL?
SSL vs TLS!

SSL is a better standard but it is not too difficult to get so it is not a perfect indicator to say a website is a scam site, phishing site or not.

Quote

Another technique to check for phishing URLs is to pay special attention to the spelling. Fake websites usually feature an extra letter 'S' or 'A' in the spelling. For example, an authentic Google URL is google.com, whereas a forgery may be googleS.com.

Also, if the letter 'O' has been replaced with the number '0' (zero). For example, an authentic Bitcoin URL is bitcoin.com, whereas a forgery could be bitc0in.com.

This is called as Homograph phishing type.

In the first half, Borussia Dortmund couldn't be said to have dominated the game, but overall, 22 attempted shots, 7 shots on goal and 67% possession, we can say this is domination. I don't know what to say seeing the results of such a chaotic match from Borussia Dortmund, it seems that we all have to bury hope to see a new champion in the Bundesliga because currently Borussia Dortmund is only 2 points different from Bayern Munich, meanwhile Bayern Munich still has 1 match again to play tomorrow against Hertha Berlin.

The match is boring except its first 7 minutes with two early goals. After that Bochum tried to play defensive aggressively and gave Dortmund high ball possession which ends at 67%. However, Dortmund failed to convert it to a second goal which can help them to win it and maintain their advantage in the Bundesliga title race against Bayern Munich. They shot 22 times but only 7 of them are on-target. I am not surprised to see how they failed to find a winning goal.

Quote from: Z-tight on April 29, 2023, 06:10:46 AM

Dortmund could not defeat Bochum, a side that is 15th in the bundesliga table and has conceded 67 goals in the bundesliga this season, this is the reason why Dortmund cannot win the title, and Bayern continues to win it every season, sometimes even when they are not playing too well like this season.

Bochum is in the relegation fighting and they did try to exit that zone. They successfully got one point from Dortmund which can be another twist for the race between Dortmund and Bayern Munich. This can be a decisive match for the title in this season as if Bayern Munich win their match, they will have 1 point more than Dortmund an will be back on the right track. It is important for Tuchel to save his position and be a coach of Bayern in a next season.

Quote from: alastantiger on April 29, 2023, 07:08:46 AM

I am disgusted and disappointed. I have observed that Dortmund has this problem, whenever it comes to a game that they need to win a title, the motivation to win just vanishes in thing air. And once again we saw it play out in this game. It will sure the difficult for them to win any title like this. The ref also played a role in their loss that what I got from my analysis. During the game, there was a handball in the box 18 yard that should have been a penalty on Adejemy but it wasn't given.

They tried but they failed in many seasons to beat Bayern Munich. In this season, Bayern Munich are suddenly weaker than how strong they were in previous seasons. Unfortunately it looks like Dortmund are not ready to take this chance to win their first Bundesliga after many years.

Fairly say, Bayern lost Lewandowski while Dortmund lost Haaland and they both were affected in their attacking power in this season. Bayern Munich have more problems in their defense system than Dortmund because they got more injuries from their defensive players than Dortmund.

It's interesting to see how Bayern reacts after the Dortmund draw and how they will finish their match this week. If they won't win their match, they deserve to lose the Bundesliga title to Dortmund.

That means Binance moves their funds including deposits from their customers to new wallets and consequently create and assign new wallets for their customers.

The notification is important as many people save their deposit addresses and use it for their personal deal (trades with others, loans, salary payment, etc.). They might not log in their accounts each time they want to send their receiving addresses to a trade partner.

If they reuse the old address, that is risky and perhaps lose their coins.

Again this one warns us that "Not your keys, not your coins". I am sure Binance will still have access to those old wallets and addresses but if you send your coins to your old addresses, I am unsure they will support you to recover your fund.

Yes, Liverpool have continued to improve in the last few matches. And yes, I agree that the opportunity for Liverpool to enter the Europa League zone is still wide open.

Liverpool is the best competitor against Newcastle United and Manchester United, even better than Aston Villa because they play one less match than Aston Villa. They have 1 more match than Manchester United and the gap is 7 points. From 7 points to 10 points (if Manchester United win their match), it is big but Manchester United are unstable so Liverpool can hope high.

Quote

But currently Aston Villa also has a performance that continues to improve. And tottenham last night we saw them manage to draw against Manchester United. Even in the second half Tottenham really found their game back. and equalized by scoring 2 goals. And now Tottenham is ranked 5th and Aston villa is ranked 6th and Liverpool must be willing to return to rank 7th. But the difference between these three teams is so thin that one defeat and one win can change everything for these three teams in the standings.

Chance for Aston Villa is smaller than of Liverpool and chance for Tottenham is zero. They have 6 points less than Manchester United that looks good but if we look deeper, they played 2 more matches than Manchester United so that gap can become 12 points which is too big.

Manchester United and Tottenham faced each other today in a big match of the English Premier League. After 90 minutes, the two teams left the field with a 2-2 draw. Through this match draw, Tottenham moved to number seven in the points table and moved to number five in the points table.

The direct match is great chance for Tottenham to reduce point gap with Manchester United but they wasted it. They even faced with a loss too but eventually they tried and made a draw which means nothing for them in top four competition especially direct race with Manchester United.

It's very possible that your IP is also used by other users to claim faucets on freebitcoin, I often experience this when using office wifi because maybe without me knowing there are office friends who are also freebitcoin members, or using free VPN can be the cause, or another factor is your Ip address is a dynamic Ip which will change so you experience that, but now I'm no longer facing this problem after claiming the faucet only uses home wifi where only I am in the house who is a freebitcoin member. You will continue to experience it until you use a static Ip and only you use it to claim the faucet on freebitcoin.

If you use a public WIFI or free VPN, your IP addresses could be used by other people. This is probably a common cause why your IP address is marked as suspicious if you log in your account with it, and claim faucets, join bonus, claim freespins, and more similar promotional things on any site especially gambling site.

Gambling sites are favorite targets of cheaters so to adapt to it, their technical teams have to build up detective tools to find suspicious activities and filter them down before blocking potentially cheating IP addresses.

FreeBitco.in faucet is one of oldest Bitcoin faucets and it has still been running in 2023, that is massively impressive.

Real Madrid failed take opportunity to cut off points with Barcelona both teams have loss last games, still not change with points difference for both team and current standings Barcelona still managed with remaining 11 points.

You can only say this if Barcelona lose first then Real Madrid fail to win in order to reduce the gap. In reality, the opposite occured, Real Madrid lost first and Barcelona failed to expand the gap. Anyway if the gap is 8 points, chance for Real Madrid will be still very small.

Quote

Next games, Real madrid against Almeria are bottom standings team and Barcelona vs Real Betis, have good progress for Real Madrid winning next games because Almeria is not really favored team and another match hope Real Betis can get three points from Barcelona and have huge pressure for 8 points remaining.

Real Madrid will have a weaker opponent in a next match day compares to Barcelona. Real Betis are at the fifth position with 6 points less than Real Sociedad and they have big reason to try beating Barcelona and get three points. It will be a very big match for Real Betis as if they fail it, they will face with a risk to see the gap with Sociedad extending to 9 points which will be an ending for their top four dream.

Quote

La Liga has 7 games left and Real Madrid with little chance become the winner this season, but still any possibility if Barcelona fail on several games later although has little opportunity for getting loss.

7 matches and 11 points in their gap with Barcelona, chance for Real Madrid is like 1%.

Quote from: jakdanyel on April 26, 2023, 10:17:42 PM

Sevilla have started to climb upwards in the league as you know. They made me worried for a long time period but at least they saved themselves from the relegation zone by a serious gap for now. It is again up to them not to get near there again. They have two tournaments to concentrate on now: La Liga and Europa League. However right now the Europa League seems to be one step ahead for them.

Sevilla with 38 points, have 8 points more than the relegation zone. Valencia with 30 pointsas the highest club in relegation zone and it's hard for them to drag Sevilla down to this area within next remaining 7 matches. Honestly I don't feel happy to see Valencia in this relegation zone and if you don't know, they have Edinson Cavani there. Again I feel bad for Cavani with his experience in Valencia after having a successful career with many big clubs from Napoli to PSG.

Watching this match is not like a match between the first and second-ranked teams, somehow there seems to be a difference in quality in these two teams, but maybe the difference is in their manager where Arteta is still less experienced than Guardiola when he has to give instructions from this very important match, so what Arteta ordered was not effective enough to make his squad look great.

Arsenal simply collapsed in the match and we sometimes see it like Manchester United collapsed at Anfield against Liverpool and lately Tottenham Hotspur collapsed at St. James Park against Newcastle United.

Arsenal tried but they failed and they gradually lose Premier League title three matches ago, this defeat is like a confirmation for their failure to win Premier League in this season by beating Manchester City.

Quote

It looks like Arsenal already has to say goodbye to the league trophy this season, expecting City to lose 2 games out of the remaining 7 looks impossible, and just waiting for the time for City to play 2 less games that have not been played to take over the standings and be in position one very comfortably, it's a pity Arsenal failed precisely at the end of the season.

Arsenal with this defeat directly against Manchester City, already have 2 points more than Manchester City but they played 2 more matches than Manchester City. This mean if Manchester City win their two matches, they will have 4 points more than Arsenal.

With their super excellent form of Manchester City, it is unbelievable that they will lose more than 5 points in remaining matches. Maybe it is good time for Arsenal to plan for a summer transfer to improve their squad and plan to do something better in a next season.

Quote from: X-ray on April 26, 2023, 11:59:50 PM

Manchester city is having biggest chance to win rather than arsenal here. Manchester city has more unplayed matches. The accumulations from all of matches is far higher compared with arsenal right now.

Manchester City already have bigger chance to win Premier League than Arsenal before their direct match. Even if that match ends with a draw, Manchester City still have more advantage over Arsenal. Now, with three points from that match, the advantage for Manchester City is bigger.

Quote from: Awaklara on April 26, 2023, 12:16:12 PM

Arsenal are experiencing problems with declining performance, while Man City is in very good condition. It will not be easy for Arsenal to maintain their standings. Man City is still the big favorite to defend the title. the situation was different when Arsenal led the standings with a large enough difference in points. but now Man City is coming to reclaim the throne. I will only hope Arsenal can perform optimally in the match later.

I see Arsenal are still very strong with their attacking and their problems mostly come from their defense system which includes their midfielders and defenders. In their latest draws, their midfielders made some careless unnecessary mistakes which I don't think they should do that even when they led the opponents two goals.

They have only one chance in this season and the match with Manchester City will decide their season. Beating Manchester City and lift the trophy or watching Manchester City lifting it, it depends on their coming match in the Match day #33 of Premier League. As I analyzed, Arsenal can play well with their attacking but they must tighten their midfield and defensive areas because Manchester City are the squad which won't ignore given chances from Arsenal players.

Quote from: Issa56 on April 26, 2023, 12:06:14 PM

You know in football anything can happen, so let's just hope Arsenal will perform well today, even before the recent drop in form

Premier League only maintains its exciting if Arsenal win against Manchester City. If the opposite result happens (Manchester City win), the season will nearly end after that and the champion will be 90%+ likely Manchester City.

Quote from: execijutiere on April 25, 2023, 11:08:35 PM

I think we can now say that Barcelona is the champion. Real Madrid shouldn't have suffered such a defeat. You can't be in the title race anymore if you lose points in games like this. Castellanos had a tremendous performance. He scored all four Girona goals. It is also worth mentioning that he was named man of the match. He was the man who destroyed Real Madrid. With 4 goals from 5 accurate shots, Girona got an important 3 points among the teams competing for the Europa League.

Castellanos is not a famous player but he just had a best match in his career (I am really sure about that). Scoring goals against Real Madrid is difficult but he made a poker that is barely seen even with super star players like Messi, Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Mbappe or Haaland. He scored that poker with a weak team against a giant team that makes its high value for his personal record.

He had a great match but his four goals were contributed by Real Madrid poor defense. With this defense, Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti will have many things to adjust before two semi finals with Manchester City.

Quote from: Queentoshi on April 26, 2023, 07:48:18 AM

Barcelona are already the champions, what a disappointing result for real Madrid yesterday, loosing to Girona 4-1, nobody saw it coming, Real Madrid have really been poor this season.

With this shock defeat against Girona, with great contribution from their terrible defense, Real Madrid are 11 points less than Barcelona but with one match more than Barcelona. I can not disagree with you that after this defeat, Real Madrid award the La Liga title to Barcelona.

Quote from: skarais on April 26, 2023, 02:06:54 AM

That's right, Arsenal has only left 6 matches this season in the Premier League because they have played 32 matches. Meanwhile Manchester City have 8 match remaining which will allow them to surpass Arsenal's current points tally. The big match between Manchester City and Arsenal will later be the match that will determine each other's chances of fighting for the Premier League title this season. Being 5 points away from Arsenal, of course, made Manchester City have great motivation to win the match, of course they also benefited because this match was played at home.

The chances of an Arsenal win are of course there, but they will undoubtedly be very low compared to a draw or Manchester City win. Arsenal's recent performance is still unsatisfactory, almost losing to Southampton has hit Arsenal hard.

The requirement for Arsenal is to win all remaining 6 matches and take the trophy. Because amongst last 6 remaining matches, there is a big direct match with Manchester City. If Arsenal win it (beat Manchester City), they will regain proactive control in the race and will have 1 point more than Manchester City. It is enough to be the champion even if Manchester City win 7 /8 matches but if they fail against Arsenal, they are loser in this race.

Arsenal likely have no chance if they can not beat Manchester City as I think Manchester City are able to get maximum points in remaining matches, except the match with Arsenal is uncertain.

Quote from: rendravolt on April 25, 2023, 11:06:34 PM

Indeed, the key to Manchester City's victory lies in Haaland's greatness, as a striker he is always able to put in a good position to score goals because Arsenal's defenders have to fight hard to guard him so that Haaland has difficulty scoring goals.

Haaland is a striker who is bringing time for traditional striker back. With Haaland, clubs are realizing value of traditional striker and Bayern Munich people are the latest ones who recognized his value.

Like Kahn told in a press conference that there is no striker like Haaland in the transfer market that caused them very hardly to replace Lewandowski in the last summer. Kahn also admitted that the failure to replace Lewandowski is one of biggest contributors for Bayern Munich failures in this season.

You don't have to think about that because on-chain data shows it all for us.

Since 2018, Bitcoin network has never gave us costly experience when we have to broadcast our transactions with fee rates like 50 sat/vbyte or 100 sat/vbyte to get a first confirmation within 30 minutes to 1 hour.
