Lots happened which also affected the general Crypto market as well.  Hacks, misappropriation, carelessness and recklessness with investors funds and assets which no one could comprehend.
Lots of bad things but not all of them are new types of bad things in cryptocurrency. Hacks, data leaks, scams, Ponzi schemes, they are all old things. Only DeFi 2.0, stable coins, algorithmic stable coins help scammers to scam more easily. They scammed people not because cryptocurrency market is a scam market but this market is one of tools used by scammers.

Quote
CEX rascality caused a whole lot of issues which resulted to some popular slogans such as " not your keys, not your coin" what will you say with regards to your journey and experience in 2022.
I share bad experience and horrible loses of people in FTX fiasco but from now, we would have more transparency from CEX operations and reports. Not all consequences from FTX fiasco are bad.

Not all gamblers who use VPNs are using it for illicit purposes. Many use it for privacy reasons or just because they are used to it.
It doesn't matter why a casino forbids the use of VPNs, but if it does then just don't do it. You have to comply with casino's rules if you don't want to face any troubles.
However, it won't hurt to ask the support for permission and explain to them why you need to use it, as Mahdirakib suggested.
Gamblers must use their accounts with full understanding of casino's Terms of Service. Like VPN, with a few minutes of searching, they can find rules or no rules about that on one casino.

If rules say No, it is best to not try to break it with any tool. If a casino has a rule against it, they have reasons and they won't encourage and won't tolerate users who try to break their Service rules.

It is bad to not read rules before using but if you know about rules and break it intentionally, no words to find sympathy from casino or community.

Union Berlin made a really good start but they were so inadequate to maintain a good effort later on. They don't have a very impressive squad of course but they had a really good team spirit at first. It is always difficult to resist Bayern Munich's pressure but Union Berlin just gave the lead to them by themselves actually.

Because they started a terrible form and it lasted very long. It was too difficult for them to keep the lead in the meantime. From now on they can at least fight for top 4. It isn't impossible as long as they make the same effort at the beginning of the season.
They would be more realistic to think of Champions League next season than win Bundesliga. Because in Bundesliga, winning it means they will have to beat Bayern Munich and Dortmund. It is not easy to beat either Bayern and Dortmund in Bundesliga especially Bayern in a long season.

They usually can win a match, a few matches but they fail a battle to Bayern Munich.

Surprises from Union Berlin, Leipzig and Frankfurt are good for Bundesliga because it makes a league more exciting. Bundesliga actually needs more clubs like those ones to become a more competitive league.

As the defending champions so much is expected from them in the Champions league this season. Their success in the Champions league this season will depend on how much resistance they can show against any other opponent in the tournament this season begining from beating Liverpool in the next knockout round. This is a difficult task for Real Madrid and facing Liverpool for the third time I'm sure Liverpool will be looking for revenge this time.
Real Madrid have one more year for their old players. It can be negative impact on their old players as with them, one more year means a lot for their bodies and performances.

Liverpool and Real Madrid have so many big meetings in Champions League. Two finals with which Liverpool both failed against Real Madrid. After a final meeting in the past season, now they will have another one, at round of 16, not a final match.

Liverpool will have Cody Gakpo from PSV and he will help their attacking a lot when many players like Diaz, Jota were injured. Unfortunately, he will not be able to play for Liverpool in Champions League.

Gakpo had matches for PSV in Champions League 2022 - 2023 already.

We have already seen what Mbappe can do. There is no doubt that he’s going to be one of the best players in the world. And I also have very little doubt that Erling Haaland is going to be the one being his rival.
He shown his ability and he is player can do many things. However he is not a player who can do many tasks at different positions like Messi. Haaland cannot too. These young players can make histories for themselves but Messi, we have only one Messi.

Quote
One thing you said is that Mbappé has a lot of egos, and probably he learned from his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo. I am actually going to say that in the case of Cristiano Ronaldo, it’s not ego, it’s the passion for the game.
Ronaldo did not react like Mbappe even when he was a brightest star in Real Madrid. He did not ask to be given penalties, freekicks, all things like Mbappe.

Quote
But in the case of Kylian Mbappé, it is actually ego. Because we have seen him bumping shoulders with Lionel Messi, just because Messi did not pass him the ball. Kilian Mbappe has got a lot to learn. But unless he lets go of his ego, he’s not going to learn. 
Mbappe might learn something from Ronaldo but he was exposed to bad behavior from Neymar too. We know years ago, when Cavani was a biggest start after a departure of Ibrahimovic, Neymar came and after a first few matches, he created a similar drama with Cavani. Mbappe did not join that drama and I felt very good about him but a few seasons later, I frankly no longer feel good about Mbappe after what he did in summer and a drama in early of season.

It is true that Arsenal in that game was the dominant team and that sooner or later they would manage to tie the game, but they did much more by winning the game and with that result they are now with a big difference in points, while the City is now forced to win the game, City's last game in which it caused a defeat made City be in a very bad position.
Winning against West Ham 3 - 1 and expanding the gap against Manchester City to 8 points. Arsenal are making other clubs in Premier League too fearful. Winning is like a new habit of Arsenal in this season and if Leicester City won Premier League with limited resources, Arsenal actually have better chance to achieve the same ending with better resources than Leicester City in the past.

Arsenal deserves all the appreciation for sure. Their comeback from a 0-1 disadvantage to 3-1 lead was amazing to watch honestly.
Being able to come back after having a conceded goal first from an opponent is a habit of champions. Arsenal are showing that they can continue this habit in this season, so impressively.

Quote
It was another proof of how strong the relationship among the players is right now. The team performance is so good that they are still playing very well and staying productive in the absence of Gabriel Jesus on the front. Nketiah did a good job today by scoring a goal while most people weren't giving much chance to him. Saka was there to wake up the team as always by scoring the first goal. It looks like Arsenal are still the same despite the long break.
In seasons when champions win trophies, they usually have so many sudden heroes to replace main heroes with injuries or match suspensions. Arsenal looks to have heroic substitutions in this season and it is a very good resource for them to win Premier League.

G. Jesus missed, they have Nketiah and Bukayo Saka is too strong and he can play many matches for Arsenal with little risk of exhaustion. He is a future of Arsenal and England national team.

first of all barcelona has had financial constraints that have hit them in the past 3 seasons so many barcelona players are in arrears of their payments. well in such a situation it is very difficult for barcelona management to get rid of aging players because if they do this then they have to pay money in advance for the arrears that occur. pique for example where in one of the sports news that I read he has given everything for barcelona in his career but this season he seems to have been sidelined from the barcelona squad and finally he decided to retire.
They had bad ways to use money for player transfers and salary and so far I did not see they have good changes to resolve those problems.

They are still buying players and spent money on transfer market, salary pool for players is still high which are harmful for their finance in long run. Especially their finance is already bad and at a verge of collapse in past seasons. This season looks bad for them too because they failed in Champions League very early and will have to play knock-out matches with Manchester United in Europa League.

Quote
barcelona must improve their finances to support the team's journey in a better direction and there are no arrears in player salaries that have not been paid.
They are not resolving their crisis but are taking more risk by having more big loans. With this risk betting approach, Barcelona positively hope that they will get good results in La Liga and Champions League to improve their finance and gradually clear up their crisis.

Honestly, I can not say I am positively thinking about it but of course best wishes to Barcelona.

Dogecoin is a classic meme coin, a pioneer for meme coin branch in crypto.

A biggest factor that helped Dogecoin to exist after a few bear markets is its algorithm. Proof of Work is a very great algorithm as if there are miners, the coin will continue to exist with a lively operating network.

Dogecoin is different than a 2020 meme coin generation which is mainly operated by Smart Contracts. I see more risk for security, centralization, hacks, compromises with Smart Contract meme coins.

Cristiano Ronaldo is mbappe idol in football and striving hard to be like him is amazing. Kylian mbappe is one of the favorite player under Christophe Galtier and Didier Deschamps. He's talented with pace and balance on the pitch, with good footing on the ball. Kylian is France top valued player in the market, and deals to pull him out of the Parisians squad have failed countless times. Disappointing real Madrid in the first bid which the Los blancos were so close to bringing him to Santiago bernabeu.
Mbappe has too high ego like Cristiano Ronaldo and maybe he learned it from his idol.

After Messi and Ronaldo era, and a generation in middle with Bale, Neymar, Hazard who all failed to beat and take over top positions of Messi and Ronaldo, we have a new generation with Mbappe and Haaland as two best players. They will compete with each other and create another dual competition personally like Messi vs Ronaldo in past 20 years.

Deschamps and Galtier know what they can get from Mbappe but at the same time, also risk by lack of defense contribution from Mbappe. They have to create a system which can cover Mbappe in defense.

The denomination to send bitcoins can be changed through consensus and community can support it in future if bitcoin value becomes too high. What a damnnhigh price $100M for bitcoin. We are too far and not too closely to that price.

However I believe that community will never support a consensus to increase total supply of Bitcoin. Because at beginning and at the end, 21M in total supply is what help Bitcoin has high value and potentiality to keep up its high value.

This is a very dangerous time and regulators will require AML and KYC for all major transactions, especially stablecoins. I think that soon the owners of stablecoins will be forced to undergo these procedures. Many exchanges block user funds, so I recommend everyone to change in small amounts or not to use centralized services.
This is dangerous when fiasco effects are there and legislations are not clear but they will come.

I actually think that crypto market will grow more when this industry is governed by more and better legislations. It is a normal procedure towards a safer and bigger industry for investors.

Stable coins will be most priorities under radars of governments because they are more easily to be found and they are more popular, public than altcoins. Stable coins have longer longevity than altcoins too.

After Mbappe's amazing performance in this World Cup, I think any renowned club would be interested in signing Mbappe. We saw a selfish Mbappe in the PSG team. But his performance in the World Cup was completely different. He played great. Any club would be keen to add a player like Mbappe to their squad.
Mbappe ability is well known and he is one of a few brightest stars of a new generation after Messi, Ronaldo and Hazard, Bale, Neymar. Haaland is the only player in this young generation can compete with Mbappe.

Both of them are like Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Bale in some personal characterisitcs. But none of them are similar to Messi who is a genius with unique skills and too broad vision on field

The performance in World Cup 2022 helps Mbappe to increase his reputation and value.

Quote
Real Madrid are still looking for a replacement for Benzema. Benzema is now quite old and his fitness is not good. Every season we see Mbappe interested in joining Madrid but at the last minute he extended his contract with PSG. I think Mbappe will stay with PSG for a few more seasons.
They are looking for replacement of Benzema but Mbappe is not a player they want to sign with after what happened a few months ago. It is unbelievable that Mbappe canceled the transfer at very last minutes.

If not Real Madrid, if not Manchester City, it is impossible to find other clubs which can satisfy Mbappe from salary to chances for winning trophies.

Newcatsle United is rich too but they are not better than PSG so Mbappe difinitely won't join them.
1753  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: December 23, 2022, 12:57:33 PM
liverpool is a strong team, they were just unlucky that some of their best players were injured, i'm talking about their strikers, but this is something that happens to many teams, now what liverpool manager needs to do is just try to create a strategy that manages to make the team stable, for example he can put roberto firmino + Salah + Darwin Núñez in the attack that will get a good result, but even when doing that the liverpool coach needs to deal with the problem in the midfield and on defense
They are not unlucky but they are responsible for their player injuries. If it is one or two players, it is unlucky but if it occurs with many players, their club have issues with medical and health care for their players.

They must investigate about it, fix loopholes of their health care and prevent many injuries in future. A team want to fight trophies must be healthy, immuned with injuries as much as possible.

The past season impacts Liverpool in this season too. Because in my opinion, their players played many overwhelming matches in the past season and they did not have enough recovery time in summer. That caused more injuries than usual, more than in previous seasons.
1754  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Two types of predictors in bitcoin market. on: December 23, 2022, 12:22:05 PM
I am convinced that many have become emotionally defending bitcoin as if it is closer to a religious sect than a digital currency that has advantages and disadvantages and may die in the future, but it is now the best that centralized technology can offer and may have a very high value in the coming years.
It is natural to protect what we love and Bitcoinists just protect what they love and believe in that is Bitcoin.

If Nokia, yahoo can collapse, Bitcoin can collapse too. But before anything that is too big occurs, Bitcoin is strong. The magic power of Bitcoin is its decentralization which can not be found in other cryptocurrencies.

Because we have yet had other decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Bitcoin is still a strongest and most attractive cryptocurrency. In future, I don't see how the world can have another decentralized crypto like Bitcoin.

Quote
In general, regardless of personal opinions, what happens in the coming years is what will determine the future of this currency, and the statements of individuals differ accordingly.
I beg to differ that Bitcoin won't be beaten by other cryptocurrencies. Like Gold that is not a most precious metal on Earth but it is a most favorite one. Diamond can not compare to gold in popularity.

Hopefully Napoli doesn't sleep around in the second half, the break should have seen alot of the players resting and recovering well, especially those that left for the world Cup.
They don't fall asleep but succeed or fail to continue their form in a first half of season is unsure.

Quote
I want to see them winning the Seria A at all cost and they've paid the price in the first half, can they just put in double of what they did last half, if they sure do that, winning the league ain't no biggie.
I want to see a new champions for Serie A too. After 9 years under Juventus domination, in the past two seasons, Inter Milan and AC Milan won two Scudettos. Will this season be for Napoli?

In the last pages, I saw we're discussing a lot about Napoli and their challenge, change in Serie A. Let's return to discussion about Juventus. Any news about Juventus after many people retired from their positions weeks ago during World Cup 2022?

The user decided to change #USDT worth $2,932,345 to #USDC on the Changelly service.

Read the story and see how it ends. She hasn't finished yet.
Changelly also has accusation on Bitcointalk too.

CHANGELLY / SIMPLEX IS A SCAM !!!
Changelly - FAKE KYC/AML
CHANGELLY - Illegal exchanger from RUSSIA with FAKE team
ChangeNow.io (Evercode Lab) - Scam. Illegally holding of 100 BCH (11 bitcoins).

Likely they did not close those accusations.

They accepted it as a payment method but not as a currency and not legal tender. Brazil is different than El Salvador where Bitcoin is legal tender.

What is legal tender and what is difference between being a legal tender or not legal tender?
In El Salvador, you can not reject if a buyer want to pay in Bitcoin. In Brazil, you can reject the buyer because it is not legal tender.

Brazil is a big nation in Latin America and they belong to G20 too so this adoption is very good for cryptocurrency in general.

Brazil enacts Bitcoin payments bill
Brazil passes law to legalize crypto as a payment method. You use this one as source of your discussion but it is about 1 month old.

We all know PSG is a rich team just like Real Madrid. They are doing everything possible to retain Kylian Mbappe, but about the future, I think there are a bit too extravagant. Some years ago, so many clubs went bankrupt as a result of this same act. clubs like PARMA FC (105 million euros dept) GLASGOW RANGERS (30 million pounds debt), Fiorentina (32 million pounds debt ) so many other clubs went bankrupt some years after indulging in this same act. I wish PSG isn't the next victim of bankruptcy.
They even have better finance than Real Madrid with support from their owner but their model is not sustainable as same as Real Madrid's. You are so realistic to compare PSG with bankrupted club like Parma and in reality we have more examples from Deportivo La Coruna, Leeds United, SS Lazio, SS Napoli. They overpsent money after one or two successful seasons, over leveraged and got bankrupted.

I don't know what will happen with PSG in future but at the moment we know that they usually get negative net in finance in many seasons. That is not good for them to unable to earn income from sports itself and rely on their owner group.

Real Madrid use leverages too but they are one of best clubs in aspect of earning money from football. They are one of most successful clubs in history and PSG are too small to compare with Real Madrid.

Predictors have two types.

A first type are predictors who have models, foundations and do mathematics for their predictions. I consider they are comprehensive predictors

A second type are predictors who announce their predictions emotionally and don't base on any thing. If you ask them, why do you think and base on what factors you make that predictive price for Bitcoin? I am sure they will not be able to give you good answers.

Marcus Rashford is an undoubtedly a great player. Manchester United has great players with greater potentials. With the recent concluded World Cup, players would be returning to their various clubs with more experience gotten. And I think players returning back to Manchester United are on fire!
Rashford is only a good player, above average. He is far from highest level but he is young enough to have a long career ahead to make big upgrades. We are too familiar with Rashford because he debuted at his teen age, too young.

At least Rashford looks to be stronger than other 'genius' players from England like Theo Waltcott, Jack Wilshere. He is not too vulnerable with injuries that can be helpful for his career. In a few matches in World Cup 2022, Rashford shown some signals that he can reclaim his best performances again after a serious down time since Euro 2020.

Quote
I particularly like Marcus Rashford style of play and I think his gameplay is fantastic. He’s a player with a whole lot of potential in him and he can only get better from here on out.
Rashford is like Mbappe and they need space to play. So playing at swings are better for them. The chaos in Manchester United recent seasons affected Rashford too. He had to play in many positions including a striker position at which he has never played good.
