Bitcoin is legal Tender in USA ?
A full report about the USA regulations on Bitcoin is there. Cryptocurrency regulations around the world.

It is acceptable and legal in the USA. but regulations vary by states.

There are regulated by different authorities like SEC, CFTC and there are debates in the national Congress too. At least Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are not illegal there.
1542  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Yield Farming -- Is it still a thing? on: February 24, 2023, 02:15:20 AM
A couple of years ago, yield farming was the next big thing, but I no longer see it mentioned anywhere. What happened to it? Did the players lose all of their money and slink back into the darkness?
I think it is a mutation of Staking, Masternode to DeFi 2.0 and maybe we will see Yield farming returns in cryptocurrency with DeFi 3.0.

A big challenge to prevent its return is regulatory attacks of governments against stable coins, staking like there are some news recent weeks. Personally I don't believe in Yield farming because to have good Yield farming model, they must have healthy capital flow from input to output. Like what we saw with DeFi 2.0, it is broken and output will be bigger than input after a few months of operations.

Dortmund may continue to improve its performance in every game, the same point as Bayern makes its position threatened, if Dortmund continues to do its best and scores several goals, Dortmund can become the leader of the standings. Several matches will continue, and tomorrow will be against Hoffenheim. Karim adeyemi will be the spearhead that will make Dortmund's game even better. Karim Adeyemi scored a goal against Hertha Berlin last week.


Bundesliga becomes more competitive in this season mainly because of Bayern Munich's worse performance than they used to have. Dortmund are a biggest opponent of Bayern Munich in many seasons so it's normal to see they stand right behind Bayern Munich on the table. A biggest surprise so far in Bundesliga is Union Berlin with their third position and they even stand above Leipzig and Frankfurt.

With so many injuries and chaos in Bayern Munich, Dortmund can win their first Bundesliga trophy after Klopp era about ten years ago. Union Berlin have their chance but with their limited experience with tough competition, I think they will be exhausted when season comes to ending months.

It will be a joke for Haaland and Sancho if Dortmund win Bundesliga shortly after their departures one and two seasons ago and it will be a perfect gift for Jude Bellingham before he leaves Dortmund.
1544  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Question about token holders for a specific projet on: February 23, 2023, 11:26:11 AM
The first wallet called "Movn: Deployer"
has 99.79% of tokens.

Considering its name, I assume that it's the wallet of the project team.
Deployer means that wallet and transactions from that wallet is deployed by the project developer team.

Quote
But is it common that a wallet has so many tokens ?
It's common in centralized projects and very popular in scam projects. Core teams own most of tokens and they will dump their shit tokens on investors.

Quote
Should it be a warning flag ?
It is a very big red flag. When a core team own lot of tokens, it's a biggest risky red flag. If you look at top 100 holders, and other owners own too high percent of total tokens, it's another flag.

So, the NY Department of Financial Services has ordered Paxos to stop minting BUSD effectifly as of yesterday (Feb. 21st).

How big of an impact is the government's crackdown on crypto going to have on the crypto market's growth in the US?
They will sort those things out in future. If Paxos won't close their company, they will find resolutions and agreement with the NY Department of Financial Services. We saw many cryptocurrency companies had to pay fined charges when they failed with lawsuits to continue their business like Tezos XTZ.

It's not the end if Paxos has enough money to pay fined charges and I believe they have it. However it is early to say Paxos will accept that accuse against them.

This is also not the best way, with an earthquake like the one in Turkey recently, or a natural disaster that will wash away all your possessions, stainless steel plates will not be able to help you keep the property. Every solution has its pros and cons, no solution is absolutely safe, and everything has its risks. We need to be flexible on a case-by-case basis to use the most appropriate method. And the method of sharing with relatives is also the method that I am applying today.
Storing all in all begs, all backups at one place, use only one format are very bad.

The extreme earthquake in Turkey, Beirut port explosion in Syria are good examples that if you have Bitcoin, you should diversifying how you store your bitcoin and your wallet backups.

Applying the same for your exchange account passwords, 2FA backups.

kycnot.me is a good website with their list and reviews, scores for non-KYC platforms from exchanges to peer-to-peer marketplaces.

Quote
Although I only have more confidence on Kucoin.
Kucoin has some years in the cryptocurrency market and they provide good service to their users. They belong to Tier 1 exchange list and their scores on Coinmarketcap, Coingecko are good too.

You can use Kucoin at the moment if you don't want to do KYC but in future, with more regulations I believe eventually Kucoin will have to force KYC on their global users.

So far Napoli only lost vs Inter in the last 9 matches in all events. maybe is not more accurate when we look at some of them is a weak clubs, but we don't must heed there is inside team like Juventus and Roma, and in the champions league event also, they able to beat Frankfurt at home. so when meet Empoli, maybe is not hard to beat them with 2 goals, but sometime when team up on the wind, they sometime split make it draw.
The performance of Napoli makes me feel more about Juventus in seasons they dominated Serie A. Napoli even can play well in Champions League too and they got big advantage at the stadium of Frankfurt. With a home away win by two goal difference, Napoli will have to kill themselves to lose the ticket to quarter final of Champions League.

With their domination in the first leg, they will very possibly to repeat it in the second leg in Naples. Frankfurt won against Barcelona in Europa League past season and it was a big shock but in this season, Napoli will not allow them to create another shock.

I believe Napoli will get a win against Empoli, so far, Napoli's strength has increased and it has won five consecutive games, making Napoli even more confident about beating Empoli. The point gap between first and second place is 15 points, so there is no team trying to win first place, which is why the announcement of the Serie A victory is going to be accelerated.
Empoli is not a tough opponent for Napoli and they will try to collect as many points from weak opponents as possible. The point collection from weak opponents will help Napoli to officially take the trophy in Serie A. It will give them more time and resources to spend in Champions League. Napoli can make amazing Champions League adventure like Porto and Monaco in 2004 that is about 20 years ago.

Liverpool is clearly out of form, and they were completely defeated yesterday due to a lack of proper communication in their defense. I've said that Liverpool didn't have a good defense, but when they perform well, people tend to overlook the defense and give credit to the entire team.
They can not win any title with that awkward defense that usually ruins advantage created by their attacking players. Their midfielders are responsible for their bad defense too as they did not support good enough for defenders.

Quote
Real Madrid, on the other hand, played very well and has once again proven to the world that they are the Champions League kings, it will take only the Champions to put on such an impressive performance against a big team, 5-2 scores is actually a very big win for Real Madrid, which I don't think Liverpool can get in the second leg.
Real Madrid are King and in the match, Vini Jr. shown that he is growing more in this season. His finishing skills are better and he are more wisely to make decisions. He is no longer obsessed with dribbling too much and it makes him a more dangerous attacking player.

With this big advantage, even Champions League does not use the home-away goal this season, Real Madrid still have 3 goals that are very big difference for Liverpool to catch up in a second leg match.

Cadiz is not a suitable opponent for Barcelona, this victory is not surprising because in terms of quality the Barcelona team is much stronger than Cadiz.
Currently Barcelona is playing pretty well and they just need to maintain consistency to be able to win the La Liga title this season, and all of this is inseparable from Real Madrid's poor performance so that this moment can be used very well by the Barcelona team to continue to keep the distance at the top. standings.
Barcelona must be very careful as Real Madrid won't waste any opportunity to win La Liga. They have enough ability to turn 8 points difference to 0 and can take La Liga trophy from Barcelona at the end. Not many clubs in La Liga can get points from Real Madrid especially when they return to their good form. Look at how they won against Liverpool, it is like the past season sentiment is still in the air. They are not broken easily and can turn the match over very quickly.

Quote
but for Barcelona's performance I think they are not optimal and there are still many things that need to be fixed, we can see the shortcomings when they play on the European stage.
In Europa League, Barcelona lost at Camp Nou and their match in Old Trafford will be very challenging for them. It's not easy task to beat Manchester United more than 1 goal difference at Old Trafford but it's possible for Barcelona to win in extra halfs. They mostly get La Liga and Europa League is a good cup in the Europe too.

With a 2-goal advantage at the start of the first half they were actually very good and the match was interesting only for the second half they were completely destroyed.
Becker made a few good saves for Liverpool to help them have 2 - 1 leading but later he made a personal mistake with a bad pass right to Vini Jr. and Real Madrid equalized it to 2 - 2. The fourth goal from Benzema is unlucky for Liverpool too but they were very bad after losing 2 goals advantage. A big club should not let their performance depends totally on emotion like this. 2 -2 is not a result like the end of the world for Liverpool but they collapsed quickly and easily after that.

Quote
Their condition in attack was actually very good but on the other hand when they implemented an all out attack it backfired because their defense became chaotic especially when they had great difficulty anticipating counterattacks which were indeed very fast especially for the two wings of Madrid which were very fast.
After Real Madrid scored a third goal, Liverpool look like a weak team and no longer bring enough dangerous attack towards Real Madrid defense.

Quote
This absolute victory for Madrid seems to have succeeded in getting them to walk even though there was Leg 2.
Liverpool made one of most shocking come back against Barcelona in Anfield years ago but it happened at their home stadium. This time, they will have to play at Barcelona home stadium and their chance is very slim and likely impossible.

In the final goal of Real Madrid, Modric did his job impressive and unbelievable that at his age, he could manage to run speedy like that. Many players at age of Modric retired already but he are playing in Champions League and has good shows.

Bitcoin has many big falls since 2009 but collapse (if you meant this) like Terra UST & Luna, FTX exchange and FTT token or many altcoins, stable coins, I am sure with you that my answer is true, Bitcoin has never been collapsed.

I can not say about future but with what Bitcoin has had and achieved since 2009, it has been growing very good and my belief is it will continue that path in future. With such belief of mine, I don't think Bitcoin will eventually collapse.

The only fear i have for Napoli is in the summer, because i know the clubs that have money will come for their best players like Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia, if they sell them, then they may not be so strong by next season.
It usually happens with many clubs like Napoli after a great successful season. Leeds United, Dortmund and Sevilla are examples. Sevilla are the only club that can maintain their performance at good level after many successful years. Their scout team are amazing to bring young players to Sevilla year by year.

I hope Napoli don't do that because both are the main player who made this achievement. If Napoli sell them for money, I believe they can't do like this anymore on next session until they find a decent player. Maybe better for management to create a new contract and do a big deal to make them keep stay on Napoli because hard to find a successor in the middle of a player crisis because all experienced players are getting all and will need a time again to recruit the young players.
Napoli will be able to keep those players up to one more season only. I am really not believing in Napoli ability to keep up their excellent performance in a next season. With those star players, they will not feel satisfy when a club performance is down. Together with many good offers from bigger clubs, they will make requests to Napoli for leaving. It's hard for Napoli to convince those players to stay with them more than two more seasons.
1554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: February 21, 2023, 10:28:02 AM
La Liga has been very competitive this season. Barcelona and Real Madrid are fighting for the title. And which team will win the title is still completely uncertain. Several teams are fighting to qualify for the Champions League. Atletico Madrid, Real Sociedad, Real Betis, and Rayo Vallecano are all aiming to finish in the top four of the table. and qualifying for the Champions League.
I only high competition for top four but not for the championship. Barcelona are far from Real Madrid with 8 points and it makes the championship competition is less exciting. However Real Madrid have yet given it up and Barcelona have yet won it. Their race is continuing and the league is more exciting with another race for last two positions in top four. It's so surprising to see clubs like Sociedad, Betis and Vallecano can compete for those high rankings.

Barcelona continued to perform well. They won the last match. And now the Barcelona team is 8 points ahead of Madrid.
8 points are so good and safe enough for Barcelona to think more about their big match with Manchester United in Old Trafford. They must win at Old Trafford at least with two goal difference to beat Manchester United in aggregated result. With good gap in La Liga, Barcelona want to win Europa League too and they will not play humbly in Old Trafford.

Quote
Despite being able to maintain their dominance in La Liga, Barcelona's performance in Europa League is not as good as expected. They could not win against Manchester United in the last match. They drew the match. And so now Barcelona will aim to win the second leg against Manchester United. If Barcelona loses their next match against United. Then they will focus entirely on winning the La Liga title. And they will win the La Liga title either way.
Barcelona feel like they are safe enough to win La Liga so that they will not want to be knocked out by Manchester United too easily. Not sure will they can win Europa League after beating Manchester United but I believe they ambitiously aim at the trophy there.

Roma's performance is not stable. They have not been able to perform consistently in Serie A either. Their performance is somewhat erratic. Also, I would say the team is not strong enough. But because of Mourinho's match strategy, they are able to play well. Roma's attack is not very strong.
Roma don't have many good players and they have to minimize their energy used in each match. It is affected by Mourinho's favourite tactics that is very defensive too. I don't like this tactics too much and the traditional style of Roma is beauty football, not defensive. However I agree with Mourinho that they have limited players and it is overwhelming for their players to play 3 matches each week and they will not be able to have good performance with tired bodies.

Quote
And so they couldn't score any goals against Salzburg and lost the match as well. Roma's performance against Salzburg was poor. However, Roma will play at their home ground in the second leg. Mourinho will surely apply his best tactics to win the home match against Salzburg. Hopefully, Roma will be able to win the second leg.
They played not very bad days ago but failed by a very late goal from Salzburg. With this difficulty, they will have a big task in Rome for the second leg with Salzburg. Another disadvantage for them is the injury of Dybala and he will be missed till mid March. Don't have Dybala will affect Roma in attacking a lot and they had worse results after Dybala injury before World Cup 2022.

Zidane was still a rumor. Zidane has been even clarifying if he would be back to be a coach may be after june of the current season will end. I think that del piero has much more chance to be a new coach for juventus. De zerbi has become another candidate that will be filling allegri's position once he will be leaving from juventus. Juventus is not yet announcing intention to sack allegri from the club. I think that's gonna be speculation only.

This time juventus is only focusing to enter into the position that can be qualified for europa league next season or winning europa league to get a spot for champion league.
With ambition of Zidane, he will not take risk in Juventus with conditions they have. Zidane wanted for opportunities with France but they decided to continue with Deschamps. Juventus have their crisis in club management and their finance is not good after Covid-19, I am sure Zidane saw this drawback and with current quality of Juventus players, they must have many new players to improve quality and win titles.

I could be wrong but Zidane is not a coach who will take a job if he does not see that he will win titles with a club.

The importance of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Napoli suggests that his market value will rise throughout the transfer season. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was offered to Napoli for a €30 million bid, and club president De Laurentiis admits that they thought that was a high market value. However, the Georgian had been on their radar, so they pushed further and offered €10 million, which was enough to secure the Georgian gem for last season.
Kravatskhelia has an amazing season with Napoli and hopefully he will continue it in future. However, if any club want to buy him with too expensive transfer price, I think it is very risky deal for them. They can keep following Kravatskhelia one more season and if he can continue his good performance, they can buy him with expensive price.

Quote
Victor Osimhen's primary assisters this year, and Napoli are leading the league with substantial points, include Kvaratskhelia. Instead of relying on the big names in clubs who will fail when they are finally signed, you sometimes need to look elsewhere for abilities.
Osimhen is different and he is famous in Europe last few years already. I believe this season is a last season of Osimhen in Napoli and Serie A. A Capocannoniere title for them in this season will be a last booster for him to better leagues like Premier League or La Liga. I believe he will move to Premier League that is more fitted with his style than La Liga.

AFAIK, their VIP system is simply identified by NFT, and does not take into account the user's betting record. The level of the NFT determines the VIP level, and if the NFT is traded to someone else, the VIP status is transferred as well. If you manage to upgrade the NFT to the highest level, you can directly exchange it for $70K, but the difficulty of achieving it is also evident.
It is my point to ask. Without condition of betting record, is only NFT card enough to approve VIP membership?

Users can sale off their NFT cards and that can help other users to have cheaper cost to own the VIP membership. $70k is a very expensive cost to own VIP NFT that can explain why SLM team did not mind to bind more conditions to their VIP membership.

Do they have different VIP membership levels and have ones that less expensive than $70k? I am still worrying if they have cheaper than $70k NFT?

The topic is misleading and confusing.

Though Bitcoin has many wallet softwares and some of them is Bitcoin Core, it is not good to use only a word Core to imply that it is Bitcoin. Many alternate cryptocurrencies have their Core wallets too. Hence, if you only use Core, readers will be confused that what is a coin you implied.

Bitcoin is better than Ethereum. Without Bitcoin, Ethereum won't be created by Vitalik.

Bitcoin is decentralized. Ethereum is centralized.
Before Ethereum switched from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake, its network hashrate was smaller than Bitcoin network hashrate.

I haven't watched the Bundesliga standing look like this since long time, knowing that Union Berlin could have taken the lead if they had won against Schalke. Unfortunately, Schalke forced them to an unexpected draw. The competitiveness in any league is fascinating and it can help draw the attention to this league. I hope we see similar standing at the end of the season, although I believe other teams are still far from Bayern Munich with regard to finance and performance.

It is not common to see no point difference between Bayern Munich and a second club in Bundesliga. Usually Dortmund are a closest club to Bayern Munich but with big point difference like 5 points or two two digit points.

In this season, Dortmund have a chance to have same points as Bayern Munich and the season has been going with a surprise that there are four other clubs are very closely to Bayern Munich as well.

It is a most interesting season of Bundesliga after many years maybe more than 20 years if I am not missing any more exciting seasons.

The following is a list of Bitcoin developers who are known so far, some mentioned the company where they "work", along with other developers on the same roof. But I doubt that it can be called a company, but they form a non -profit development organization. Some of them are also the sole developer.
I did not know about that website. It is my first time ever I have been informed about it.

I usually visit two websites when I need to find versions of Bitcoin Core.
https://bitcoin.org/en/
https://bitcoincore.org/
The first website is a first one I knew and learned about Bitcoin Core but I did not visit it often after theymos announced the domain updates and changes of Bitcoin.org and the forum.
Occasionally I knew about the second website that is more related to Bitcoin Core team and wallet software.

I think it is really worthy to note none of those sites and including Bitcoindevlist.com are official websites of Bitcoin.
