i think the guy should have retired in real madrid, having left for juventus even helped juventus a lot in crucial moments of the games, but due to his age his skills of dribbling started to disappear
Ronaldo left Real Madrid because of his high ego and his disagreement with Florentino Perez about a new contract for him and salary too. If he have not left Real Madrid, he would have gotten a few more seasons at top level and even can win one or two more Ballon d'Or. I felt Ronaldo satisfied with what Juventus fans shown when he scored a over-head goal against Juventus in Champions League. He did played well in Juventus too but after Ronaldo joined, it seems Juventus squad reached to their best and started to fall down in performance. It is their squad issue, not only because of Ronaldo.

Quote
even at manchester united he avoided doing dribbles, they were not the center of attention when it came to scoring goals, at manchester united it was already starting to be visible that he is not being even 25% of what he was, no he was another great player, in the world cup we also saw how he couldn't score goals, he didn't take the ball and do dribbles
A first season is rosy for Ronaldo but things changed quickly since the last summer. He wanted to leave and find a better club but he did not know that his body quickly changed to be worse like that. His performance in some matches for Manchester United and for Portugal in World Cup 2022 show that he is no longer a good player as he was just one season ago.

Quote
as if his age problem wasn't big, he moved to a country where they have a low quality league in terms of games, all because he still wanted to earn more money, and the Arabs need attention they paid an amount that would create attention
I think he made a smart choice. He knows he is no longer be able to compete with Messi and Mbappe, Haaland for Ballon d'Or. Leaving to Saudi to enjoy very high salary and avoid a feeling that he is a loser against those players. It's Ronaldo but he does not anything wrong. It's his career and he has full rights to choose what to do, where to play.

Buying the Fun tokens is probably the cheapest route as its a long term yield and if you want more spins thats ideal, price was in the teens fairly briefly and rose alot from there.  I still think price can double actually over time but it will take alot of development to do so I guess, as BTC recovers first and then possibly other assets such as this one later.
Personally if I buy FUN token, my reason to do this is my belief in future of Freebitco.in casino and the more investment interest in that token in future from community. I don't buy the token because I want to have more freespins to use. It is one of advantage from the token but it's not a biggest reason of mine to spend money for FUN.

The chart is very lovely, will we have another x10 run of FUN token?

Last time when the token bounced from its bottom, it gave us a 10x bounce.

when zidane was coach of real madrid he also started to suffer the same problem: lack of goals. so zidane left, but as the team managed to win la liga and the champions league everything was fine, but if we pay close attention we will see that real madrid only won la liga last season because barcelona is going through troubled times, this season season barcelona are much better than last season real madrid has no chance of winning la liga
Zidane did saw that Real Madrid had issues with their squad and he knew that it's safer for his reputation and his career by leaving Real Madrid. Years later, Real Madrid still managed to win La Liga and Champions League with nearly a same squad. Their old players did successfully prolonged their career and even won titles with Real Madrid. However it does not change a fact that they need to have more new and young players. I believe they did saw the issue and they bought Rodrygo, Vini, Valverde, Camavinga and Tchouameni to gradually help them to adapt in Real Madrid then replace old players.

They even tried to buy Mbappe but failed when PSG gave him a very crazy offer.

Quote
going to the problem of goals, real madrid only depends on benzema, which means that when benzema is not doing well in a game, then real madrid will not be doing well either, vinicius is an excellent player, but he is not a player who scores goals regularly, his role on the field most of the time is to open the way for Benzema to score a goal, rodrygo the same thing, apart from those 3 the others do not have a good performance in the team. real madrid needs to sell the strikers that don't bring goals, and hire the ones that bring goals
Maybe Real Madrid will return to Mbappe or Haaland in next summer especially with Mbappe. Haaland looks to be happy in Manchester City but Mbappe does not have same feeling in Paris. Benzema is a very good striker and he scored many goals for them in this season even his contribution is limited by some injuries. Though he can play well when his body is ready, Real Madrid should not rely on Benzema in a next season as his body might become more sensitive with injuries.

Wouldn't it be better if lost coins were reintroduced into the network after a fixed span of inactivity?
It means new Bitcoin can be created that loads more bitcoins to total supply that is initially set at 21M.

Do you think about who will be new owners of reintroduced bitcoins as replacements for inactive owners?

What do inactive owners think if such reintroduction of bitcoins is made?
They likely are dead people, lost their private keys or they just inactively with their bitcoins but still have private key access.

Your proposal is not logic in thinking and it's controversy if it is activated on the network.

Though I love Neymar and Messi, I'm happy for mbappe. At his age, He has really shown that he is capable of showing more.  I barely find a player of his era play to that capacity. Mbappe will do more if he also sees the idea of contributing to other peoples goal as a priority.i believe this and this alone will help him get close to attending the height of the already existing icons like Ronaldo, Messi,  and Neymar. Mbappe is one of the greatest of his own time.
Mbappe has full potential to be a new legendary player in next 10 to 15 years. However to reach to his highest, he must control his high ego that is harmful for his connections with other players. He can not do everything and he actually needs support from other players to show his best.

Mbappe is great but he is not a player with great skills and vision like Messi and he can not play at many different positions well like Messi. I believe that players like Mbappe will have more difficulty when he becomes older or his body is affected by injuries. Like Gareth Bale who relies on his speed to play his best football and after some injuries, he was no longer play at his best.

Mbappe must adapt better with other players and must change himself to be less dependent on his speed. First to be a more dangerous player and second to avoid injuries.

By losing 3 points from the results of the match at home and Lazio being able to conquer it, it will not be a pressure for Napoli because the points are still very far away, while Napoli going forward will only correct where a few mistakes he made even though the game continues to dominate by Napoli but it is a game who sometimes have to lose too.
Who beat Napoli? Lazio are one of strongest teams in Serie A in the past few years and before this season, Napoli and Lazio are at similar level and quality. This defeat is not the end of this season, it does not destroy Napoli chance to win Scudetto. A defeat is bad but at least this one is not too bad for Napoli. They already made more impressive matches that together can cover this loss by Lazio.

Quote
I believe Napoli will definitely be able to maintain their standing at the top of the Serie A standings comparison is very far with second place i think the final result is that Napoli will probably still be champions this season.
With the defeat twice it is very reasonable, while Napoli still in terms of appearance has never decreased.
If you can find another club that have played better than Napoli so far in Serie A and can be a champion in this season instead of Napoli, please tell me.  Smiley

MU has a bad result in the early season against liverpool due to an internal problem that has not yet solved but i think that this time MU will come back stronger with rashford and sancho that will always become the main actor to build attacks in any matches. A surprise has come from ten hag if he was feeling so good to terminate ronaldo from MU.
Ten Hag decided to not use Ronaldo after a few months and that partially contributed to the conflict between Ten Hag and Ronaldo. He should decide and announce that he does not want to use Ronaldo as their main striker and allow Ronaldo to find another club in the summer. Anyway, so far he succeeds to build up a stronger team for Manchester United and they don't have to wait too long to see results. They won a first title with Ten Hag, a first one for them after 6 years.

Rashford is on fire in this season and I hope that Ten Hag can rescue the career of Sancho in Manchester United too.

Quote
Gakpo is also waiting for the match against MU but it's not clear whether he will be playing against MU or not. I hope that gakpo will be played by klopp as it can become an advantage for MU caused by gakpo is always having bad performances with liverpool.
Gakpo performance in Liverpool so far is less impressive than what he had with Netherlands in World Cup 2022. However, he only joined The Kop recent weeks and maybe he will play better in a next season. With many injuries in Liverpool, Gakpo will still be one of main choices for Klopp in this season for their attacking.

It is possible for Newcastle to play a draw game with Manchester City despite Newcastle have been finding it challenging in winning some of their previous games. Manchester City have more confidence in winning Newcastle,  this game is very important for Manchester City to win as to gain more point.  Manchester City have more chances of winning the match because they still remain better in performance than  Newcastle,  but Newcastle won't still be easy for Manchester City to win easily .
Manchester City are not on fire and even if they are on fire, it does not mean they can win all clubs in the world and in Premier League. I have to give you a clue that in Premier League, Newcastle United have only 2 loses so far and who are winners? Only one club that is Liverpool managed to beat Newcastle United.

I am not sure Manchester City will manage to beat Newcastle United in this week match. This is an important match for Manchester City as they already got 5 points less than Arsenal. Losing any point from now will be one more step to lose Premier League trophy to Arsenal. Time is counting down with only 13 matches left for both Manchester City and Arsenal so it's clearly that Manchester City will play with all things they have to beat Newcastle United to keep up their chance against Arsenal.

However I am keen on a draw between them.

Could NFTs somehow make a comeback? I had always thought they could use better methods to instill NFTs with intrinsic value. While a baseball card might not have much space to store memory data. NFTs could potentiall store more information digitally. That could be one advantage NFL NFTs have over NFL trading cards and collectibles. There could still be room for innovation and improvement as far as NFTs go.
NFTs can come back but those NFT projects have to work hard, brainstorm seriously to change their tokenomics.

After a few years of NFT growth with many projects, a most common trait of those projects is their weak tokenomics that is harmful for their token price. They have yet successfully fix their tokenomics weakness to solve their inflation problems that cause huge selling pressure on market.

If they can revamp their tokenomics to be healthier, more fair launch and less inflationary, they can come back.

After that fixture with Nantes, the next match of PSG in the Champions League. Don't you think otherwise that they will like to reserve their good players such as messi and mbappe for the Champions League. They really have to reserve this players because Neymar Junior is already injured, and if Messi or Mbappe get injured again. It will be a difficult match for PSG to contend.
So you might not witness many goals in that match as usual.
PSG will aim at Champions League with a very tough match in Munich. They must win the match as a guest, not as a host especially they were destroyed by Bayern in Paris weeks ago. I believe their mind is reserved totally for Champions League and Ligue 1 is not their focus at the moment.

Now that Neymar is definitively ruled out for the game against Bayern Munich, it is even more interesting to exactly listen to the words Galtier used when he explained Neymar's situation:
Neymar missing is bad for PSG but it's good news for Mbappe. He will be able to have his full show and let's see will he be able to bring PSG to quarter final of Champions League. Luckily for Mbappe, he will still get support from Messi in Munich.

I don't hate Mbappe but I don't like his high ego and I am really curious to see how he will play in Munich. If he can help PSG to win and move next, he will demonstrate that he is capable of bringing his club to success against big competitors in Champions League.

Missing the match is bad for Neymar but his career in PSG is mostly over. He and his team are looking for a new club for him in the summer. Rumor that he is aiming at Premier League and a club in his interest list is Chelsea.

I want to convert my whole cash in my bank account to bitcoin but don’t know if is a good idea for me or not.
You can not convert your Naira to Bitcoin directly with your bank account. You must use your Naira to buy Bitcoin, it's not convert.

If it is your first time to buy Bitcoin, let's try with small Naira as your first practice. If it goes well, you don't make any mistake, you can proceed a next one with bigger value.

Buying Bitcoin then storing it in non custodial wallet like Electrum wallet that is free and does not need big storage space in your computer. It is available for mobile devices too.

I just went through the receipts today and realized the machine price rate is far different from the real market price of 30,130 USD per bitcoin.
Current price is less than $23k and you exchanged it above $30k at that ATM. Is it a legit ATM?

Did you check its location on Coinatmradar?

Bitcoin ATMs have different exchange fees that usually are between 9% and 12% in average. Unfortunately, there are Bitcoin ATMs charge you higher fees that can be around 20% or higher.

Those companies must have license to open those Bitcoin ATMs and they need to spend cost for security, operation, maintenance. It makes sense to see they charge high fee. I see Bitcoin ATMs are things to explore and satisfy our curiosity on how those ATMs work. Exchange Bitcoin on P2P marketplace or on centralized exchanges are better, less fee will be charged.

1513  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: In the best interest of investors, Bounties shouldn't be paid in Tokens on: March 03, 2023, 01:52:02 AM
I don't know who needs to hear this but after years of being a bounty hunter and keeping a close eye on how bounties are conducted, it's safe to say most projects make the biggest mistake of paying bounty hunters using their native tokens
Many reasons altcoin projects don't want to pay bounty hunters in stable coins or Bitcoin or big altcoins like Ethereum. They are unsure about success of their projects and don't want to spend money from their pockets, project treasury for advertisement campaigns that include bounty.

Bounty hunters bet that their low value works will be paid and optimistic that tokens they get from payment will have good price on market.

Quote
why do I say so, well bounty hunters don't share the long term foresight as the project to the point of being a hodler to grow with the company but rather see their bounty payment as a service and will sell the tokens for less to get whatever money they can because they owe nobody anything.
Selling from bounty hunters after token distributions create big sell pressure if the project has too small liquidity and trading volume. Bounty hunters often sell their received tokens immediately and don't have enough patience or belief to hold their tokens.

Quote
Going forward in the best interest of investors and the project itself, hope to see "more" bounties being paid with established coins in this industry.
If there are investors who love and want to bet in altcoins, there are bounty hunters with same bet style. Forum can not change their minds, how they work for bounties and how they bet on success of tokens.

It a person is a professional trader, he can succeed and get rich by trading. When he is rich already, he will no longer have interest to continue working as a broker.

If a broker is still a broker and is doing it as his main job or only job, he did not succeed by trading. If you listen to advice for not-yet successful or failed broker, do you think you will get rich by applying that broker's advice?

Arsenal are flying, talk about sticking the knife in & twisting it Grin

Poor Everton hey, no mercy shown by the Gooners.
They are flying well and a race between Arsenal and Manchester City is now more easily to assess. With same total played matches, Arsenal have 5 points more than Manchester City. We no longer have to assume that Arsenal will win or lose their rescheduled match.

Five points are good gap for Arsenal and look, the season only has 13 matches left. Time is no longer stand with Manchester City and Pep Guardiola but Arsenal still have many things to complete.

Quote
Happy to see Liverpool win, we are a far cry from the team we were but you have to start somewhere. Nice 2-0 win, up into 6th. We’re now 6 points behind Spurs in 4th with a game in hand.
A good win for Liverpool and they see a better chance to catch Tottenham and Newcastle United. If they win their rescheduled match, they will have 3 points less than Tottenham. About Newcastle United, it is more complicated as that club have one less match than Liverpool and if they win all two rescheduled matches, they will have 6-point gap against Liverpool. Anyway, 3-point or 6-point gap is good enough for Liverpool to keep up their hope.

We don't know who is or are founder of Bitcoin. The founder is known under a name Satoshi Nakamoto but we don't know who is that founder, a person, a group of people, a government, many theory about that.

I don't mind but after some years in this market, I see the market is manipulated by news. News have many levels, from individual level like influencer to governmental level like China, USA, El Salvador, IMF, etc.

I am not surprised if Bitcoin will become a game for bigger entities like big institutions, governments, wars between governments in future. We have gold, gas, oil as war tools and in future, Bitcoin can be another war tool for governments.

Just for the sole intent of your heirs, I really wish that there was a solid and fool proof way to leave legitimate BTC to your kids in some custodial solution. Something that was protected by like a time vault or something. o much out!
With Bitcoin, proof you need is a private key to sign a message, sign a transaction, sweep a wallet, that's all you need as proof of ownership. If you keep your private keys safely, it is against threats and time and it will be reserved for your children as their inherited fortune from you.

There may not be many solutions today, but I am sure there will be in the future, but as you say, most of them will be custodial. But once inherited, your children will be able to withdraw them to their hardware wallets. If you want creative ideas on the subject that can be applied today, I would move this thread to the corresponding technical board, where I am sure they will be able to help you.
It's terrible if you have an account on a centralized exchange, KYC, leave your bitcoins there and award it to your children. You don't know when you will pass away and when your children will inherit it from you. Meanwhile, that exchange can be seized by government, can be hacked and file a bankruptcy or can make a scam exit.

If those fiascos happen, no way for your children to get those bitcoins.

Buying bitcoin makes you get more money with time truly. No doubt about that. Bitcoin even controls the market.
If people are young, they can buy and hold bitcoin about 10 or 15 years which are enough to make them rich.

Quote
But there are some new altcoins with real usecase that move faster in price at early stage. This could make you get more money faster if you are able to get any.
Altcoins can make you poorer and what about real usecase?

They always promise they are game changers but they only give us promises and many times, those projects fail to create something really valuable for society and cryptocurrency industry.

Buy 1BTC and wait maybe if it goes $1M, you will be a millionaire then. It's been speculated that BTC will reach a million one day.
2032 or 2036, I think we will see Bitcoin at $1M.

Quote
Or if it goes $60k, you get more than a million in Mexican Pesos. It really just matter where you are from, you can be a millionaire still only not in USD.
$60k or $70k is about three fold from today price and it is very good profit and if we consider about risk with altcoins, invest in Bitcoin is the best.

What is happening in the EPL is what I term a true competition, at least three clubs are closely contesting for the first place but one will surely have it. At this juncture, I will not bother my mind with the one that will make it, it's hard to predict, and any club that relaxes will find itself at the lower spot. Arsenal was disappointing the weeks after the world cup which is why they find themselves only 2 points ahead of Man City.
I only see Arsenal and Manchester City in this competition. I guess you implied about Manchester United too by saying there are three clubs in the competition. However, I disagree with you. Manchester United achieved first sweet result with Carabao Cup but in Premier League, they will need more power to compete for the title. They are holding the third position and have impressive form but it won't be enough for them to surpass Manchester City and not yet talking about Arsenal.

now Arsenal have the opportunity to again make the points distance from Manchster City if they are able to win over Everton.
this match will be very exciting because in the last meeting surprisingly the Everton team who are at the bottom of the standings managed to beat Arsenal but in this match of course many things are different and Arsenal certainly will not want to do the same thing.
Arsenal are still heavily favored to beat Everton in tonight's match.
Arsenal know that Manchester City will have to pay their attention for the match in Champions League with Leipzig and if they win, they will have to spend more focus on it because it is a competition they want to win many years already. With lack of full concentration on Premier League from Manchester City, Arsenal know that if they succeed to expand a gap to 5 points, they will have a safer first position and they are able to secure it until the last match of season.

Despite, Arsenal are on top of the premier league table doesn't mean they will win this title because Manchester city are fully ready to take over that position from Arsenal to maintain the position until they embrace the title again in this season.
Arsenal are more hungry with title especially Premier League title than Manchester City. Manchester City won many Premier League in the last 10 years and they are not hungry to win it more. Of course they want to win it but about hungry, they are more hungry in Champions League. It's a great chance for Arsenal, first they have very good season and second is from Manchester City priority.
1520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 01, 2023, 03:20:12 AM
This match is looks like a real discrepancy between them, PSG is full of star while Marseille is a team that looks like a normal who filling up with ordinary players. So this match also show us if PSG is still there and maybe until the end of session. 8 points is not too far but I think is hard to Marseille to chase them because the realistic is they can try to stay on champions league zone only.
In Ligue 1, with direct matches between competitors, like PSG vs Marseille we will have better view on what team are stronger and deserved to be a champion. PSG dominate the league but they have bigger ambition and task, it's Champions League. Therefore many times they did not spend enough concentration for Ligue 1 and lost points against weak and average clubs.

However, their concentration will be highest when they meet direct competitors and like we saw, they easily won against Marseille. It is a very strong voice and declaration from PSG that in Ligue 1, they are champions if they want to get it.
