1581  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: February 14, 2023, 05:58:15 AM
after suffering from a series of bad results Liverpool was finally able to win, in fact Liverpool was not really the favorite because in the previous game Everton managed to win over Arsenal but the Derby matches of the two teams always showed high tension so that they put aside the current condition of the team and prioritized prestige.
even though they managed to win 2 goals without reply, I don't think that Liverpool's game has come back better, and also don't think that this is the start of their revival.
Darwin Nunez contributed a lot for a first goal of Liverpool and in that situation, he made a best decision as he can. I am not doubtful abut Nunez ability and his talent but he is lack of ability to choose best option and many times, he made bad one. I hope that match remarks a good improvement from Nunez and if he actually got improved, he will contribute more for Liverpool.

Quote
Liverpool have fallen too far and I still don't believe they will really be able to come back for the rest of the season.
Actually they are not too far from Tottenham at the fifth position. If Tottenam are competing for top four, Liverpool are able to catch Tottenham. It is a first realistic task for Liverpool and if they can make it done, they will be able to dream about top four at late months of this season. They must complete task by task gradually.

Nunez continues to try to do well with Liverpool, especially to be able to play to keep pace with Mohamed Salah, and he must be able to be like Mane even though he is far different but must always be able to provide good assists for Mohamed Salah to score goals and also score goals when he has the opportunity.
Looks like Nunez now knows when to shot and when to pass the ball to his team mates in order to maximize counter attacks of Liverpool and convert them to goals.

Quote
and Cody Gakpo answered critics in 6 goalless games during his time with Liverpool, and finally he was able to score his first goal for Liverpool and this goal helped Liverpool to win the Merseyside derby.
Cody Gakpo will get a big booster from his first goal for Liverpool. From his 6 previous matches, he has yet adapted enough in Liverpool but it is understandable because he just joined them in January.

it is far different from Apecoin. Apecoin developers are Ape Foundations which faciliatate Apecoin and it is under Yuga Labs who a we3 company which created the famous Bored Ape Yacht Club. Apeswap.finance who's native token is Banana is different from apecoin.
Many projects have Ape in their project names and token names but it does not mean those projects are related with each other by team members or project developments. Like with Bitcoin, there are hundreds of Bitcoin forks and they usually name their projects and coin names with Bitcoin as part of their names like Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, Bitcoin Gold ... However, it is wrong to say Bitcoin has any relation with them about team members, developers or any other things.

Apeswap is more focus on Defi where Apecoin focuses on web3 technology. Apecoin is definitely has a lot more support from the community given that it made a very successful launch and it's coin value being supported and not falling too deep.
Apeswap is a DeFi project and if OP want to know more about them and what's going on recently with their project development, marketing, join their Telegram group and ask questions.

PSG will be actually losing against bayern without messi and mbappe.
I don't know but I feel even if they have a strongest squad with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, they will not be able to surely win against Bayern. PSG have very weak mentality in Champions League and in many seasons, they lost control of their mentality at important minutes.

Quote
Mbappe has been reported coming back to the training session but im not sure if mbappe will be playing full-time. According to ESPN mbappe may not fully play against Bayern. It seems like that mbappe is not fully recovering. Mbappe has been forcing himself to play against bayern caused by he knows how difficult bayern is as an opponent for PSG.
I don't believe in words of PSG about Mbappe injury and feel like they want to use Mbappe and fake news about his injury to be their best surprising weapon for Bayern. I guess they hope with surprising appearance of Mbappe, they will have better chance to beat Bayern.

Quote
Even galtier was also feeling worried about the match against bayern.
It will be biggest matches in career of Galtier so it is normal if he worries about it.

Barcelona so far still leads the League ahead of Real Madrid which is in second place and Barcelona is 9 points ahead, Real Madrid needs a few wins over their matches and at least takes a few defeats for Barcelona for Real Madrid to lead the League, but expects Barcelona to lose in every game in the future this is nonsense, So far Barcelona has a good performance, consistent. It's difficult for any other team to beat Barcelona in the meantime.
Barcelona are on fire and other clubs don't have enough good forms to catch Barcelona. The only hope for La Liga to keep it exciting is Real Madrid. I did not believe in Barcelona at beginning but after more than a half of season, they have very few conceded goals that is a big foundation for their success so far and at the end. With a good defense system like that, Barcelona are more easily to aim at 3 points for each match. If their attacking players can score goals, very likely they will have 3 points.

Quote
Real Madrid will meet Elche in their next match, this is not a very difficult opponent for him. I think Real Madrid can add points in this match, and Real Madrid really needs to win their match if they want to shorten the distance from Barcelona.
I don't know it will be an easy match for Real Madrid or not. In the first match, at Santiago Bernabeu, it was a draw for both. In coming days, Real Madrid will have to play against Elche at Elche home stadium. Will it be another draw for Real Madrid against Elche in this season?

from what I see, benfica is playing well and has been winning games without E. fernandes, so this is a situation in which benfica profited as always, benfica is a team that is already well prepared to adapt when a player is sold, that's because they are used to buying cheap players and selling for a very high price and making a profit
Did people too over estimate the talent of Enzo Fernandez?

He did not have too many matches for Benfica and in Europe. The performance with Argentina in World Cup 2022 brought him to the spot light and a chance to move to Chelsea with very expensive transfer price. Lessons learned from many big transfers as consequences for World Cup or Euro tournaments. Many of rising star players from big tournaments failed after one to three seasons. They are not talented enough or bad to cope with pressure from expensive transfers.

Quote
they have been in this business for years, winning the Portuguese league and just for the sake of reputation and access to the champions league, but they already have the business of selling of players that gives them good profit
Benfica is like Sevilla in La Liga. They are growing from average clubs to top clubs in their leagues and join tier-2 clubs in Europe. They have similar growth strategy by building up good scout teams to hunt for youth talented players. Then buy those youth players with cheap prices and give them chances to play in their leagues. If those youth players succeed to grow up, they sell those players and get good money for their clubs.

In Portuguese league, Porto is another club that has similar transfer strategy like Benfica.

Is Apeswap (BANANA) from the same team of Apecoin ? anyone heard of it before ?
Apeswap was created during a trend of DeFi 2.0 two years ago. The project has an announcement thread in Bitcointalk as well.

🍌🍌 [ANN] ApeSwap | The next-gen AMM, Staking and Farming Protocol on BSC 🍌🍌

I am sure with you that they are not from Apecoin team. No relation between two projects.

ChatGPT can only furnish the trader with topics related to market analysis, trading strategies, and how to manage risks. It is incapable of making investment decisions or trading. The trader must take the knowledge provided by the resources and make an informed decision. Also, despite the answers you may get from ChatGPT about economic indicators and other things that may affect traders, it will never replace solid financial advice from a certified advisor.
ChatGPT search, train itself with available resources but it does not know everything. In addition, you can not trust a bot for your money. If you seriously consider investing or trading is your job, not a game to play, you would be more careful with your decisions and would not trust trading bot, AI bots like ChatGPT.

Those bots can give you good learning answers, documents but to apply these for my funds, I am so doubtful that it is safe and wise.

It is trained by people so it is not smarter than people. The cost to use the bot is cheaper than subscribing good education course so maybe people will like ChatGPT than official courses and find advises from good tutors and educational trainers.

I think we are not consistent enough and Bayern can afford losing players and replace them with not much of a down grade.
Bayern have enough good finance to replace their star players with others at similar quality. However it is applied for summer transfer when Bayern will have a few months to find players, send offers to club partners and finalize deals as well as have enough training time for new players.

In winter transfer, chance to find good replacements on the market is small and chance to see those new players play well is smaller.

Quote
If I am to make a prediction today I think Bayern wins the league but Dortmund come 2nd with Union coming 3rd. I think we have the strengths and experience that Union does not and we will catch up and over take them. I expect Bayern to win the league by 6-9 points because they just have so many replacements for their 1st team that they are prepared if they have any major injures and Dortmund or Union are not.
I agree with you that Bayern will win the league but I am not sure about Dortmund for the second position. I think Dortmund have more experience than other clubs but the departure of Haaland impacted them a lot especially their attacking power. In recent seasons, more competitors are rising to challenge Dortmund and Bayern, Union Berlin, Leipzig, Freiburg will not let Dortmund easily to claim the runner-up position.

In a press release from the SEC, Chair Gary Gensler stated, "Whether it’s through staking-as-a-service, lending, or other means, crypto intermediaries, when offering investment contracts in exchange for investors’ tokens, need to provide the proper disclosures and safeguards required by our securities laws. Today’s action should make clear to the marketplace that staking-as-a-service providers must register and provide full, fair, and truthful disclosure and investor protection."
https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-25
The idea to launch new regulation in this area is good and I support the idea to force companies in cryptocurrency industry to provide better services, more transparency and reduce risk on investors. However, SEC likely went too far and thought they are like God. If they want to punish Kraken, they must have terms and guides about that in the past. In reality, they had nothing about it and their press release against Kraken is non sense.

Shortly after that, Chair Gary Gensler made a short video to explain about it and it is not a first time he did that. I felt like he is a person who very obsesses with power and reputation. He minds more on his reputation, power and impacts on others and don't actually mind about what he can contribute for SEC and regulations on cryptocurrency.

Quote
So, the focus is not solely on staking, but encompasses all comparable services that provide investment contracts in return for investors' tokens. Sure, I get what you're saying. The SEC's move could definitely hurt the crypto market as a whole, causing a dip in demand and, potentially, a drop in value. But, on the bright side, regulations can also help make the market more stable and trustworthy, which could be beneficial in the long run.
They are trying to hurt cryptocurrency market but in the USA, they are not the only governmental agency to be responsible for it. They are not God in cryptocurrency market and will never be.
1590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: February 12, 2023, 10:09:58 AM
If I'm not mistaken, then Messi will play in the match with Bayern, and only Mbappe will miss the game, so it will be easier for Neymar. But I think that Mbappe is the strongest of this trio of strikers, so the attack of PSG will not be complete without him. Bayern looks better if we evaluate teams by the results of the last matches, but it's still a superficial analysis of what the teams are capable of, we will see in the first match on Tuesday in Paris.
We don't know will Messi and Mbappe are ready for matches against Bayern or will miss it?

Now we only have rumors that can be disguising strategy from PSG. Nothing has been confirmed yet and we will have to wait until last days before their first leg match in Champions League to have a better guess about ability to play of Messi and Mbappe. Both Mbappe and Messi are very important for PSG attacking system and don't have both of them will be nightmare for PSG.

However, if they have only either Messi or Mbappe, I think it is good enough and it can help them to strengthen their defense capacity with another attacking player who can run more and proactively contribute more for their defense. In Champions League, defense should be first priority, not attacking and we all know PSG have not too good defense ability.

If you stake your stable coins in liquidity, staking pools from providers that can be DeFi projects or cryptocurrency exchanges, you are no longer control your stable coins.

You are taking risk to lose your stable coins by staking. Celcius, Voyager, Three Arrows Capital bankruptcies are examples for that risk. I think you did not know about those companies and their bankruptcies because if you knew it, you knew about the risk and did not ask this question.

Bankruptcies, lose pegs, hacks, shutdown, many risks.

Stablecoins Are Not Worth the Risk

If you want to have passive income, pick savings in big banks.
If you want to take risk, pick Bitcoin and hold it in your non custodial wallets.
Don't take risk with stable coins.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I remember that selling account here is NOT against the forum rules.
The forum rules are clear that buying and selling accounts are not prohibited. Such activities are only discouraged. It means people can do this but the forum including admins, staffs and members don't like this activity.

Because from account exchanges, there will be more consequent bad things to happen. Launching scam projects. Asking for non-collateral loan and run away. Joining bounties or signature campaigns with low quality posts that contribute to spam in the forum.

18. Having multiple accounts and account sales are allowed, but account sales are discouraged.

Also, I prefer projects from the Binance launch pad because binance don't just list any projects, 85% of all projects that used Binance launchpads are successful.
If top altcoins like Terra and FTT can collapse to the hell within a few days, does it make sense that 85% of all projects with Binance Launchpad are successful?

They are still risky and you must count another risk that success you mentioned is pump and dump game. There are losers who join in pump times at peaks and stuck in dump times. Not everyone engages in those altcoins are successful investors.

Quote
Alliance Block market cap is very low, projects with very low market cap are called degen by many and they are very risky, remember Gala games? It was hacked and all tokens were reimbursed, if Gala was a very small project I don't think they will do the reimbursement.
Hacks and tokens get compromised are one of risks but another risk with small cap altcoins is their team can rug pull liquidity on DEX. Then if their tokens are not listed on any centralized exchange, investors will be rekted and lose money.
1594  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Rumors that US SEC would like to ban crypto staking on: February 10, 2023, 09:59:28 AM
Better regulation with those companies would be better than offering to stake. There's already news about the SEC fining Kraken for $30 million for the operation of staking in the US and resulting in halting the staking of crypto. It all started with FTX. Damn.
SEC does not ban all staking in cryptocurrency projects and on cryptocurrency exchanges. If it is staking on exchanges, SEC said it belongs to a type of investment contract between users and cryptocurrency exchange.

I think they will try to launch more laws and regulations about that but this attack on Kraken is unfair for the exchange. Before this event, SEC has never announced and given any submission form for staking on cryptocurrency exchange.

They said Kraken did not submit this activities legally but from their side, SEC did not have any detailed guide about that.
1595  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 10, 2023, 09:49:03 AM
Schalke so far is the worst team of the Bundesliga,just check their stats and you will see that indeed Wolfsburg is going to have most likely a very easy game tonight.I think the odds are there near 2 to scare us not to bet on this game.
Schalke are facing one of most terrible seasons in their history and their players likely want to complete this season as soon as possible. I believe many players in Schalke are thinking about summer holidays and looking for chance to transfer to a better club.

Quote
I have bet on Wolfsburg to win as a small amount of money but I have put a lot of money on Wolfsburg draw no bet as I am sure at least Wolfsburg is not going to lose this game despite their bad recent form,as bad as this may be I am sure is not worse than Schalke overall form during this season.
Wolfsburg will win the match not only because they are stronger but also because Schalke players don't have enough firing mentality to fight seriously. The lack of strong mentality and big motivation are not enough for Schalke to win matches. Their quality is not good and its combination with lack of fighting readiness make them worse, weaker and less competitive.

Ahead of the match against Villarreal at the weekend, Barcelona firmly expects to be able to maintain its great form this season. All the first team are available for this match as I could see in their training sessions at the Ciutat Esportiva "except Dembele who is still dealing with his injury". I also hope they can maintain their form, and once again this is home match which should allow them to maintain their unbeaten record.
Villareal is an opponent that can challenge Barcelona and can prevent Barcelona to have three points. The injury of Dembele and his missing are one of things Barcelona don't want to have but they have other players who can replace Dembele. Their system works well and other players can cover the missing of Dembele. With that good system, they won't have to rely only on a single player to replace Dembele. I expect to see good performance from Ansu Fati and he should take advantage of Dembele injury to reclaim his position and more important role in Barcelona. It would be important for him if he can get part of his best performance in this season and will be able to play better in a next season.

Quote
I'm very confident and also optimistic about Barcelona, ​​and now it's all backed up by interesting facts about Barcelona's struggles this season in La Liga
They have good advantage and history supports them too but it is too early to say about title. Real Madrid are still there and they are not a weak competitor.
1597  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Rumors that US SEC would like to ban crypto staking on: February 09, 2023, 10:11:46 AM
They won't ban all altcoins and what they will do is requiring altcoin projects that don't meet their criteria to pay forfeits before continuing their projects.

Altcoins are very flexible and they can switch, migrate from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake, Masternode, DeFi 2.0 and any more modern algorithms. In the USA. there is no clear guide on what organization is responsible to regulate cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency projects. SEC is one of related organizations at this moment.

The lawsuit between SEC and Ripple XRP is important for altcoins. Even I or you don't like Ripple, we should hope that Ripple will win this lawsuit or at least they will have a good agreement with SEC to close this deal.
1598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 09, 2023, 10:03:58 AM
If we have no deduction of points for the Juventus then clearly they could at second spot with good chance for staying here until end of this season, but this all creates big mess up, and they lost three important points against Monza as well which is surely also just due to this all but now after having three points in last game they are doing good comeback and have good chance to stay in hunt for the fifth or sixth spot which could be also good for them because recently we have some good drop of performance and quality from the AC Milan and Atlanta which can give them benefit.
Juventus did have a very great streak that helps them to move to a third position before a point deduction event. After that, they had a few bad weeks but managed to return to winning. I don't know will they be able to continue their winning but at least that winning is good for them at this moment. Top 6 of Serie A in this season has many clubs that have different problems that make them very unstable. It gives Juventus a kind of hope that if they play well, they can complete the season in top 6 of Serie A at least. For top four, it is a more challenging task and we have to wait until a day when Juventus can claim a six position before discussing more about their chance to get a position in top four.

Quote
Now they are having semifinal against Inter for the Cop Italia which is also good for them to beat them and have one trophy as well in coming days they also have another match against Nantes for the UEFA Europa Cup which also can give them good hopes for going until good round of this cup.
Both of them will want to win because both Inter Milan and Juventus will not be able to win Scudetto which mostly will be taken by Napoli. So Coppa Italia is a trophy they can win in this season. Champions League or Europa League is somewhat harder to win too.

In Coppa Italia, they only have a few more matches to play and take the trophy. Semi then final matches and get the crown.
1599  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do You trust Tether (USDT) Stablecoin? on: February 09, 2023, 08:07:31 AM
They have long history in cryptocurrency and if there is a stable coin you can trust, USDT is one of the best options you have. Regardless of they cooked their reports, I think they have good treasuries for Tether USD.

However, in cryptocurrency, things can change very fast and we don't know how Tether USDT will change in future. If you want to store your capital in stable coin, I don't think it is safe to store all your capital in only Tether USDT. You can choose some other stable coins to store your capital like BUSD (Binance USD), USDC together with Tether USD.

Decentralize risk of bankruptcy from one stable coin by this way.
1600  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's your take on TVL when analyzing on: February 09, 2023, 03:20:05 AM
Total value locked is a most favorite indicator when people are doing their research about one project.

This figure presents some things: attraction of the project on investors and speculators by buying the token, lock it to get given APY and wait for the token growth as well as project developments. If the TVL is big, people can think that project is good and passed through some diligent research of many investors. They will have more belief in that project and can more easily spend money.

However, TVL does not guarantee security of that project. Fund is stored in vault can be hacked by hackers or be self hacked by founder, developer team members. We can not know about future.

Like FTX fiasco, do you really believe that FTX exchange was hacked shortly after it started to collapse?
