1321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: April 25, 2023, 10:39:53 AM
Almost the entire squad that Real Madrid has this season is part of the success that Real Madrid achieved last season. This season Real Madrid appearance has been a little disturbed when compared to last season, Real Madrid is still very superior in the UCL but not in La Liga. Some of Real Madrid core players are no longer young, of course their increasing age greatly affects their appearance and they are also very vulnerable to injury.
They are still one of strongest teams in La Liga and Champions League. In La Liga, they got more troubles with uncertain performances of their attacking players and lost points with some unexpected draws which more regularly occurred after World Cup 2022. Their defense system sometimes is responsible for their draws too but in knock-out matches, they can play well and show value of experience.

In Champions League knock-out, experience can help you win a battle and fortunately in Real Madrid, they have not only experienced players but also have many good young players like Vinicius, Rodrygo, Valverde, Camavinga, Tchouameni. They combine together very well to make a very dangerous and competitive Real Madrid in Champions League.

Quote
There is no doubt about the mentality of the Real Madrid players, but when compared to the quality of the squad that the two teams have this season, Manchester City's strength is more solid and productive than Real Madrid.
They still have many players who have won 5 or less Champions League titles with them in the last 10 years. With those players, I have no doubt about their strong mentality and it is not their problems. They more likely have problems with their physical bodies, fitness and strength as ageing is not avoid any player.

One more type of scam in Discord is invite people to a scam Discord channel, set up a bot for account verification but with a phishing link. It is to steal your Discord Token ID that can help hackesr to bypass Email, 2FA, Password.

Some simple steps to scam you and log in your account
1. Invite you to a scam Discord channel

After about one month of overloading waiting unconfirmed transactions, mempools were clear a first time just two days ago.

https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC%20(default%20mempool),3m,weight

If you miss that chance, you can wait for a next weekend to try your luck but fees won't be cheap forever or in all weekends. We might have another wave of Ordinal so whenever you see cheap transaction fee, you can consolidate your small inputs.


In addition, mempool.space has upgrades in their website graphics and more features. In the past, you can not hover mouse on the chart and see fee rate bands like with jochen-hoenicke.de chart.

If you don't want to miss cheap fee rate like a few days ago, you can subscribe the [Telegram Bot] Bitcoin Fees - fees and tx tracker to get its notifications.

In fact, Ray Youssef closed Paxful because he had been cornered and unfortunately he could not carry on the project but with this move he practically declared that Paxful is dead but now 100,000 Paxful can be opened with CivKit ... in practice he launched a bomb.
Previously, Ray and Paxful announced that Paxful users can import their accounts to Noones. I am not sure why only a few days later, it turned to be CivKit. What are connections between Noones, CivKit and Ray Youssef?

From graphic designs, Noones and CivKit are likely to be from a same team. Noones trading mechanism looks to be a copy cat of Paxful. The slogan of Noones is Global South that is exactly what Ray aims at.

I am curious and uncertain with the announcement of Ray to launch CivKit two days ago.
1326  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CivKit it is not a perfect marketplace but almost on: April 24, 2023, 01:28:23 PM
I think that it's one thing to propose something in a whitepaper, and an entirely different thing to actually build it. Just think about the 2017 era of ICOs, where so many projects looked like amazing, prosperous ventures and yet 90%+ of them turned out to be scams, too expensive to build or just technically impossible to build. That's not to say anything about CivKit, it's just to say not to take a whitepaper as an official sign that something is possible.
At least it comes from the founder team with Ray Youssef, the ex-founder of Paxful which is a peer to peer marketplace but was shut down weeks ago. I know Paxful is not decentralized but likely Ray retired from Paxful by some internal conflicts as well as pressure from law enforcement and regulation on Peer to Peer marketplaces. As we saw some P2P marketplaces stopped their services recent months.

With his experience, if he wants to launch another P2P marketplace, it should be something that can compete with Bisq or Robosats. I saw mention about Lightning Network, Taproot, Nostr in the White paper but let's see how their CivKit will be in reality.

I only don't know why Ray shilled Noones (like another version of Paxful, without US. customers) then CivKit.

Welcome to the forum mate. The casinos name and ANN design are unique and yet attractive. I love the Golden and black color specifically in the ANN thread, it just giving me the feeling of seeing something premium.
It is good choice from the team with the color theme, Yellow and Black. The name and the design of logo give us feeling like this service is from Binance.

If the BINOMI team want to redesign their announcement thread better, or even redesign their logo, they will have many options to do that:
- Assign that task to their internal designers
- Hire an outsourced designer like jayce who is very trusted, professional and skillful designer in Bitcointalk community.
- Run art contests for their Announcement thread design or for their avatar design.
1328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 24, 2023, 01:59:03 AM
It's a shame Arsenal haven't won in their last three games, so they lost the chance to score a lot of points, and now Manchester City is ready to catch up and beat Arsenal because I'm sure that in the match on April 27, Manchester City will score lots of goals and take Arsenal's position at the top of the standings. Arsenal will have a hard time holding off the strength of Manchester City.
With only five points less than Arsenal but with 2 more matches to play, Manchester City won't have to win Arsenal in a direct match to take over the first position. However, if Arsenal beat Manchester City in their direct match, Arsenal will reclaim their proactive advantage again in their direct race for the Premier League title.

Though Manchester City currently have better form than Arsenal and their player quality are always better than Arsenal, I don't know will Arsenal easily accept a loss in their direct match. With strong mentality and high ambition in this season, I am not surprised if Arsenal beat Manchester City and reclaim their advantage. If it happens, we can consider their latest three draws as supplementary ingredients to make the race more exciting.

Mate, you're absolutely right - Newcastle United is on fire right now! Did you see that scoreline against Tottenham? 6-1? That's like something out of a Hollywood blockbuster! It's not every day that you see Tottenham get trounced so badly, but Newcastle made it look like child's play.

Honestly, I reckon this is just the beginning for Newcastle United. They're making a name for themselves in the Premier League and climbing the ranks like nobody's business. It's gonna inspire young players to join their ranks and be a part of something truly special.
Newcastle United just had ownership change in the second half of last season but they quickly got great achievement in this season. They have a long time of months to hold the third position and this week they just shown that they are really deserved to have either the third or fourth position of Premier League.

With their impressive performance in this season and if they end it in top four, they will be able to more easily build their stronger squad in the summer transfer. They are not lack of transfer budget but need something to be more attractive to more easily attract star players. This season can be a foundation for their brighter future which probably starts with this summer transfer season.

I try to place bets on the last day of betting to have a better idea about the market condition. It helps to get some confidence to win the bet. But it is difficult to make the prediction with confidence when Bitcoin price becomes unstable like this. I just placed a bet on $27.5k to $30k price range, I will place another bet tomorrow if Bitcoin price still shows high volatility.
A correction which is valued about $4000 is not small and Bitcoin will need a few days to show its next movement. If you are unsure what will be the next market movement, you can wait for the confirmation. I believe it will become more clearly in next 7 days.

You should not hurry with your bet. Wait for a while and make your bet which should be based on some better thinking and signal from the market.
1330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 23, 2023, 03:31:06 AM
Dortmund is now 1 point ahead of Bayern Munich. I don't think it's too big. Because if Dortmund loses a point in a match, they may lose the top spot in the table. Bayern Munich is now in a slightly weaker position after changing coaches. If the Dortmund team cannot strengthen the top position of the table in this opportunity, then they will not be able to win the title.
After many years, it is a first season Dortmund can hold the first position after Match day 29 in Bundesliga. It together with a bad season of Bayern Munich, can help Dortmund to win Bundesliga. 1 point difference is small but with only some matches left, Dortmund can again focus on themselves and the title will belong to them if they win all remaining matches.

Quote
Bayern Munich's big mistake was to change coach at such a crucial moment. Although Tuchel is an experienced coach, it is very difficult to take charge of such a team. He needs more time to build a friendly relationship with the team players and stabilize the team. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if Bayern Munich won't champion this season. Their performance now is that of an average-quality team.
It's my shock to see Bayern Munich lost big after scoring first. Especially they lost it after were eliminated from Champions League in mid of the week. Likely Bayern Munich will lose Bundesliga too if they continue their unstable form and some times with bad performances.

With bad results from Champions League and Bundesliga, if they end this season without Bundesliga, will Tuchel still be their coach in a next season?

Juventus often look better when they appear in front of their fans, which is why home games give them a lot of points, it's just that this season Juventus has become a team that has difficulty scoring many goals so we can see several times they won with only a score of 1-0.
Vlahovic has a bad season and it's big change from what he performed in previous seasons with Fiorentina and even in the second half of last season. The injury of some players like F. Chiesa, Pogba impacted their attacking system too.

Quote
Napoli this season has been the most productive team with an average goal per game of 2, so it is very possible that Juve's defenders will find it difficult to keep their goal safe if they apply a defensive strategy that they often do in many matches, and if Napoli's main striker is fit and playing full will make Napoli's attack even more dangerous, but I think any result can happen, and making it to the semi-finals of the champions league and also winning an appeal will give extra motivation for Juve's players so they can be different tomorrow.
Napoli will play aggressively to find a win and forget about their failure in Champions League. They can beat Juventus and take it an own gift to forget Champions League defeat days ago. It will help Napoli to come closer to Scudetto which mostly belongs to them.

Juventus just have a big change in this week, from no hope to participate in top four to jump directly to a third position. At least they are in a safe place now but they must play well to keep up their position because there are AS Roma, AC Milan and Inter Milan are wanting to join top four and differences are not big among those clubs.

I have nothing to say about the result from the last match of arsenal.




What a horrible performance by arsenal. Arsenal defenders play like shit against soton. Soton was not even able getting the ball easily from arsenal but any counter attack that was coming from southampton was even enough to destroy the defensive line of arsenal.

Even though Southampton was not dominating the match, Arsenal conceded two goals to them. I wanna laugh how is it possible for arsenal to win EPL if it keeps perform like shit?
Arsenal shown their weakness and strength clearly before their latest bad matches. Previously, we saw Arsenal had some matches in which they let opponents to score some easy goals but they managed to find early winning goals. Such matches shown that Arsenal have strong mentality, don't give up till last minutes but it shown their weakness in defense system including defenders and defensive players too.

Even in the match with Southampton, Arsenal have some chances after the 3 -3 equalizer to find a winning goal. It's just luckiness does not stand with Arsenal in this match.

Quote
It's the horrible result for arsenal. City will be winning EPL. EPL was just a dream if arsenal will play like that against city.

It's likely city will be winning the trophy soon. If arsenal gets two more draws and arsenal end.
With this draw, Arsenal will have only one choice, beating Manchester City in their direct match to keep their chance to win Premier League.

You're damn right—the art marketing scene is a revitalizing force amid a sea of monotonous signature campaigns. It's akin to a vibrant rainbow after a downpour, but instead of rain, we're talking about snooze-inducing signature campaigns.

You're spot on, too, about art marketing offering more than just increased earnings. It's a stage for creatives to flaunt their skills, like a talent competition with Roobet taking Simon Cowell's spot
Roobet team and their managers knew that. They did diversified their advertisement with many forms: Signature campaigns, different art contests and more directly on their platform. With their success which is reflected on their long advertisement campaigns, their marketing strategy is good enough and is verified by community in real practice.

I just saw the manager asked for community voice and opinion on what they do expect in future art contests from Roobet team. So you are free to raise your voice to get benefit for yourself, community members as well as contribute to general success of Roobet company.

From 3 digits to 1 digit.
Since the all-time high of this altcoin, it was already dropped almost 90% from its all-time high.
I remember this before, pure hype, a lot of people talking about this and on the other side, there are a lot of people bashing this altcoin.
The risk:reward ratio of this altcoin is good if you want to make profits.
This story reminds me about another similar altcoin story, CHIA coin XCH.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/chia-network/

I remembered many people invested into mining equipments even there were no mining pools back in early days of CHIA network. It costs a lot of time to plot and start to mine this coin but without mining pools, a single small miner will gain nothing from spent cost for equipment, electricity, etc.

At least it holds its price better than ICP.

The value of bitcoin can fluctuate rapidly and dramatically, sometimes within a single day. This can create challenges for individuals and businesses that use bitcoin as a means of payment or as an investment.
Is it more volatile than crude oil in 2020 with negative trading price?

Is it more volatile than stocks of some banks which collapsed or filed for bankruptcy weeks ago?

Bitcoin is volatile but it is not a most volatile asset. Anyone tell you it is most volatile asset is a liar.

The competition in the top 4 is even more interesting after the Juventus penalty was lifted which made Juventus rise to the top 3, even Juventus was able to shift the rankings of AC Milan and Inter Milan so that the upcoming matches will be quite interesting to watch, especially for teams competing in the rankings big 4.

For Juventus, if they manage to come back to winning ways, they will automatically be quite safe with the current ranking. The Juventus fans welcomed the lifting of the Juventus ban and they hoped that Juventus could make the most of the rest of the season as best they could.
They are back and this season is very hilarious for Juventus. After all, they will not get any punishment, any point deduction in this season and with a newest update for their total point and standing, they are safe in top four and even can catch Lazio at the second position. With latest news, Juventus will only get punishment (if there is) in a next season and the competition for top four is now between Roma, AC Milan and Inter Milan with advantage is at Roma at the moment.

Quote
Seeing Inter Milan, which has been quite messy in the last 5 matches, makes me quite pessimistic that Inter Milan will be able to close the season in the top 4 even though they still have opportunities to improve their performance.
Inter Milan have very bad form in Serie A and they have worst disadvantage amongs clubs which are competing for top four.

ICP reached an all time high of almost £450 in May 2021 but is currently trading at £5.

I am not sure if it will get back anywhere near its all time high again but if it was to only get back to £100 that is a 20x from current price.
It looks attractive but it is safer if you wait till before Bitcoin halving in 2024 to start buying altcoins like ICP. During a bear market, many bad things can happen and you can not control. In bull market, it is safer to buy altcoins.

Don't chase for x100 profit from $5 as your entry price. You can wait till 2024 and buy ICP around $10 or even higher but it is safer and you can expect profit like x3 x5. Honestly, when you chase for x100 profit, you will probably take big risk.

This is an already known issue of Ethereum for years now. Scalability is really the issue right now for Ethereum and that's why the birth of layer 2 networks started and it will help to scale the Ethereum network.
Hopefully layer 2 projects will have to solve this. People will have to afford to lose expensive fee from bridging their Ethereum on layer 1 to layer 2 and after that they can enjoy cheaper transaction fee. However, a biggest threat is security of bridges which is unknown and from past stories, hacks, we can see cryptocurrency bridges are favorite targets of hackers.

Development of layer 2 projects is good but we also need to see they spend more resources to improve security especially for cryptocurrency bridges.

Quote
To be honest, Ethereum for me right now is only for whales. If you are just a person who want do use Ethereum using small funds, you will eat by these high transaction fees.
It is a hook which was used by Binance and CZ to shill their Binance Smart Chain in 2020. Ethereum is for the rich and make you poorer. Binance Smart Chain is for the poor and make you richer.

It depends on the overall circumstances. If PSG loses a player, they are probably still alright and still the favorite to win the game at home, but if you have this chance to get very close to PSG in the table standings and then you receive a red card in an away game, it is game over.
Sounds like PSG always have better condition than their opponent in any circumstances. Sounds like they have a 12th player which is a referee who support their team to win any match. I don't know about their 12th player but I do agree with you that PSG simply are considerable stronger than other clubs in Ligue 1 and they have very deep player resource so that they can cover absence of one or two star players with their star substitutions who are always ready on their bench.

Quote
Also I don't know how the PSG players feel these days and whether they are still excited about the rest of the season. No more Champions League and no more Coup de France, but all of these stars are used to playing for the biggest titles until the very end. There must be a lot going on behind the scenes at PSG. Finding a new coach, finding new strong players etc. The next season is probably bringing about a lot of changes for the club.
I think their players are thinking more about summer holidays and summer transfer. They do know that PSG will have big reshuffle in their squad after this failed season in Champions League. Many old players will face with no agreement from PSG to sign a new contract and some will be sold to other clubs when PSG want to strengthen their squad with younger players.
