I would like to use a wallet that is non custodial and on my computer only. Metamask is an extension and even it is non custodial, I feel it is less safer than non browser wallets like Bitcoin Core, Electrum, Wasabi. Of course, in the end, people have to keep their private keys or seeds safely.

This news, this adoption of MetaMask, their intention to join the party, expanding from ERC20 tokens to Bitcoin is very great for their income as well as for Bitcoin community. Anyway, let's use it with careful thinking and remember with whatever wallet, don't store all your coins in one wallet.

The chances of Man Utd qualification for UCL is gone for good even with a win against Norwich on Saturday, they had squandered and missed opportunites in their last three matches when they are expected to win
Although, one of condition is given by surprising bad matches of Arsenal, Manchester United can not create a second necessary condition. They can not finish their matches well so now they are behind Arsenal and Tottenham and to be honest, I don't know what is sort of magic can help them to beat both Arsenal and Tottenham in this competition.

Taking into consideration the excellent form of Tottenham, their chance is over.

This week's English league event will coincide with the FA Cup, where four teams have to sharpen their brains to be able to keep their players from getting injured, what everyone's concern is Manchester city and liferpol
The big match in FA Cup between Liverpool and Manchester City is interesting and it will have effect on their performance in Premier League and Champions League. Especially Liverpool because they have very difficult schedule in coming weeks. They still have opportunity to make a trio win in this season but if they can not manage their resources well, they might lose all of these competitions.

In my view, lost coins are those that have been proven to be sent to burn addresses[1] (an address from which they cannot ever be retrieved) and therefore no one can say they will "find" the key to those addresses.
Thus, the bitcoins sent to those addresses[2][3] are lost forever*, otherwise they are "possibly lost" coins.
You are correct. From estimation on possibly lost Bitcoin, we have really lost Bitcoin and false estimated lost Bitcoin. We can not identify the exact numbers for both of them. All numbers we have are only estimation but in my opinion it is enough for us to have an overview on the gift we possibly have from possibly lost Bitcoin. I don't think we need to know the exact numbers.

Bitcoin market is volatile and speculative so estimation is enough.

Quote
I don't know if there is a service that counts this bitcoins but it will be less than 100K
I think it is much larger than 100k Bitcoin that is a too small number. The inactive Bitcoin with ages from 5years and above is bigger than 100k certainly. It's clear that it is just possibly lost Bitcoin!

Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more.  Think of it as a donation to everyone.

They could add Monero but the problem with it is casino have to follow the AML policy and under these guidelines Monero deposit option is restricted due to its anonymous nature and they can't track you.Have seen some casino adding first it and then have to revert their decision.But yes if they will add this option then privacy will be improved.
Because of regulations and more intentionally restrictions or efforts to trace and break down privacy of Monero and other private coins, exchanges and gambling sites know that they will be under radar, investigation and regulation of governments in future. Especially very first tageting coins for such regulations will be Private coins. No doubt that among private coins, Monero is the King of this branch of cryptocurrency so if I use Monero or private coins, I will store them in my wallet, not on exchange or gambling site. Just in case, I won't lose control of my Monero coin.

They have done this already the whole time that they focus on the win of the League even they was playing in the Champions League.
The question is can the recover from that losing game against Villarreal to the weekend or would be see some diffrent Bayern Munich.
If Munich will win the next 2 games there will be no chance for Dortmund to catch them.
Because Bayern lost in Champions League and now they only have Bundesliga to fight to win, they will not waste their advantage there too easy. If Bayern are fully focused for Bundesliga, they can complete their target there.

The success of Villareal might bring motivational belief to other clubs in Bundesliga but I think chance to see such matches occur in Bundesliga is very very small. If don't say it is like impossible to happen . Moreover, Dortmund need Bayern mistakes in more than 2 matches, hence it is more impossible.

There are opposite things in life, in crypto or in any market, in any industry of our society.

Researches and conclusions from them should be conducted with enough sample sizes and in two sides. If we draw conclusions just based on one side of study, A > B, we might miss some information that possibly contains the truth.

Researchers are not always neutral with their research questions, objectives and methods that are all probably biased by head researchers. If a researcher thinks Bitcoin is a bad one for properity, freedom, etc. they will highly conduct their researches with biased methods to find evidence for their belief (that likely inaccurate).

Napoli - Roma seems to be a really interesting match on this match week. There are only a few days left for this match. Napoli are the favourite side maybe but their odd is 1.90 now. This shows that their job might not be that easy. Roma have had a great form for a long time and this helped them reach the fifth position. They are also fighting for a spot to join the Champions League. And their goal would also be to get a win here. I think both teams would score easily and we might see a draw too.
They both have clear objective in this season. With Napoli, it is the Scudetto and with Roma it is a fourth position.

Napoli are fighting with AC Milan and Inter Milan for Scudetto and every match is important for them. AS Roma are fighting with Juventus for the fourth position and with 5 points less than Juventus, Roma don't allow themselves to lose any point now till the ending of Serie A. They must win as many matches as possible, minimize lost points as many as possible and hope for some good news from Juventus.

I have the same as you think, Spain vs England. maybe it will continue in the world cup Qatar. And the game last night, maybe Liverpool players think he was won, so don't need to look adamant to get more aggregate. And on another side,  I think Benfica playing better than the last one, If they playing like this before, they make deserve more than Liverpool, but the strategy is too late. We know Liverpool definitely going to the next stage even if a wall in front of the goal.
Semi finals will be 2 - 2 for Spain and England with Liverpool and Manchester City are representatives for England; Villareal and Real Madrid as representatives for Spain. It looks like English clubs are a little bit stronger than Spanish club because Villareal can not be ranked at the same level of quality of Liverpool, Manchester City or Real Madrid.

However, they just beat Bayern Munich in the quarter final so they can repeat it in semi final matches with Liverpool. Manchester City in the another hand will have a very big clash with Real Madrid. It seems life is never easy for Pep to find his first Champions League since the day he left Barcelona. It seems the season is reserved for Real Madrid so I am very doubtful that Manchester City will be able to beat Real.

Unfortunately next season for Chelsea will not be determined by sporting performance, which are undoubtedly good, but by the whole situation with Abramovich, who is removed from ownership of the club.
Chelsea will have an uncertain chaotic transfer ahead. Ownership might be changed which will cause a lot of changes in the club. At least, they can proud of themselves about what they have done in this season and in last 2 decades. They have gradually made up their good reputation in Champions League. In the Europe, any big team play with Chelsea knows that they are playing against a big one.

Quote
Benzema is great. Now many understand that a year ago, Ronaldo, speaking about the fact that Benzema deserves the golden ball, did not say this in order to deprive Messi of another golden ball, but was simply objective.
Benzema has a best season personally in his career. The season is better than previous ones when Benzema is younger. What he shows in Champions League knock-out matches show that he has a higher level than Haaland or Mbappe. Of course, those young star players can improve themselves and be better. In addition, Benzema will not be able to avoid ageing effects. He soon will be replaced by younger players but for now and in next couple of seasons, he is the best or one of the best strikers in Europe.
2710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: April 13, 2022, 04:38:42 PM
Real madrid have seen the La Liga Trophy, but they have not been able to lift it because they are still trying to finish in a first place. Real Madrid must continue to win in La Liga matches to quickly reach the finish line, the distance of 12 points with a second place makes Real Madrid the favorites to win this season. Real Madrid will not waste the opportunity to win their 35th La Liga title, especially since La Liga has 7 games remained.
The trophy mostly belong to Real Madrid. They are going to take it in next few weeks and they will want to finish La Liga as soon as possible. Then they can focus more on Champions League with 2 semi final matches. Ancelotti looks to have good record in Champions League so do Real Madrid. They are good combination and their performance in this season is just amazing.

I see that after the toughest match against Chelsea where Real played extra time and spent more energy than planned, the bookmakers lowered its chances in the game with Sevilla:

3,00 - 3,30 - 2,46

I don’t know how justified this is - in theory, Real Madrid has enough time to recover. The 2.46 odds looks attractive to me.
It can be a trap from bookmakers. Real Madrid don't have to play with 100% capacity in order to win Sevilla. The last few matches in Champions League show a fact that they are very dangerous with mix among old, experienced players and young ones.

With experienced players, they don't have to play too aggressively because they have experience and wise enough to control matches in their favorite way. Young players like Vinicius, Rodrygo, Camavinga bring energy and they are good support for old players.
2711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Round of 16! on: April 13, 2022, 01:06:01 PM
Very impressive match between Madrid vs Chelsea, both played very well, especially Chelsea thats make Madrid must be played all out. At first, I thought Madrid would qualify easily, it turned out that my prediction was wrong, fortunately Ancelotti's experience and the Madrid players gave positive results even though they lost this match, but the 2 goals they scored were enough to beat Chelsea 5 - 4 on aggregate.
It's a very good match for Chelsea and they almost successfully destroyed Real Madrid. The rejected goal of Marcos Alonso is not enough to stop them and they did score another third goal to equalize the aggregated result. However, Real Madrid did not give up and the trivela key pass of Modric help them to bring the match to beyond 90 minutes. Benzema again shows his leadership by a decisive goal for his club.

Even though they failed to advance to the next round, at least Chelsea had put up a fight that made Real Madrid fights all out at the Bernabeu.
Tuchel might lost his job in Chelsea in the summer because it's undeniable failed season for the club. The sanction on Roman Abramovich and new owner might make big changes in the club.

Quote
Real Madrid was lucky with Benzema's goal, here again Benzema is the determinant of Madrid qualification to the next round. Chelsea's error did not take an advantage of 90 in the first leg, the score 1-3 at Stamford Bridge made Chelsea have to fight hard in the second leg, but Real Madrid again showed its quality as a king of the Champions League.
It's not simply about luck. Real Madrid did not give up, they fighted strongly and deserved with the final result. Chelsea can do better but in football, in the end, we have only one winner. So one go next and one will be out.

Benzema has an amazing season in the end of his career. It's so good for him to become the biggest star in Bernabeu after the transfer of Ronaldo to Juventus a few years ago.

Villarreal's gameplay and tactics were very annoying. They are very lucky to have qualified for the semi-finals. In both matches, we have seen the dominance of Bayern Munich's players. Bayern Munich's players have ruled in both matches.
Villareal deserve the aggregated win against Bayern. They did challenged Bayern a lot in both legs and the very late equalizer in the second leg means the end for Bayern. Bayern actually have a good match yesterday but they made very inaccurate shots that give hope for Villareal. Bayern can not destroy Villareal even they created so many opportunities. In the end, Villareal had a very good counter attacking and scored the equalizer that is enough for them. A few minutes left were not enough for Bayern to do anything.

Quote
Villarreal's main task was to repel the attack. However, Villarreal's goalkeeper Rulli's performance in both matches was very commendable. Villarreal's ability to qualify for the semi-finals is largely due to his outstanding performance.
Villareal and Real Madrid have done their works so impressive. Now it's the turn of Athletico Madrid and their opponent is Manchester City. Let's see whether Champions League will be dominated by La Liga clubs in the semi-final round.

I'm not sure Manchester City will easily face Atletico Madrid, even at the Etihad Stadium they could only win 1-0. This match will take place at the Wanda Metropolitano and Atletico Madrid have a positive trend if they play at their home. My prediction in this match is a win for Atletico Madrid, maybe with a score of 2 - 0.
Athletico Madrid mostly succeed in the first leg but eventually Manchester City managed to win it. It affects the plan of Athletico Madrid and Simeone as well as their approach for the second leg. The 1 goal difference is so small and with strange decisions from Pep Guardiola in big matches, A Madrid can take advantage of strange and perhaps bad decisions from Pep.

I believe we will have an interesting match today. Madrid will have to play attacking and it will give more chance to Manchester City to play with their traditional tactics.

Arsenal's performance was very disappointing in the last few games, they threw away 9 points in the last 5 matches.
Worse than points they have wasted recent weeks, they have lost confidence in themselves and it will be harmful for them in the very last weeks of the season. They have to come back as soon as possible because Tottenham has no longer had disadvantage against Arsenal. Now, if Arsenal win one more match, they will just have similar total points as Tottenham have. In addition, Tottenham have a better goal difference than Arsenal.

Quote
This finally made Tottenham,
who began to appear consistently, shift Arsenal's position at this time. Even though the current situation looks more favorable to Tottenham,
Arsenal still has a big chance of reclaiming the 4th position.
Personally, it's not too big and it is much smaller than weeks ago. Because of temporary total points and goal difference, Arsenal now have a worse situation and from now, they will have to race behind Tottenham. They have to win their matches, finish their works but still have to hope Tottenham will have some bad matches in future.
2715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: April 13, 2022, 11:34:29 AM
I agree with you, Barcelona will definitely achieve victory from Cadiz team because their performance has improved higher in this tournament. Barcelona will never allow any team to defeat them at this condition they are than to use all their power to keep moving till they achieve la Liga champion title in this season.
Barcelona have a very long win streak (7 matches) in La Liga which helps them to achieve not only a position in top 4 but also reach to top 2. It's an unbelievable position just 2 months ago. Xavi and Barcelona will try their best with hope that something amazing will happen in very last weeks of La Liga. They never stop fighting and dreaming. Fight first, dream later. They are doing their works very well.

Quote
I believe Sevilla will use home advantage to play with Real Madrid which will be difficult for Real Madrid to defeat them at home than to draw the match. I think the match will end up draw because Sevilla will never allow Real Madrid to disgrace them at home than to use all their home strategies to make the match draw.
Real Madrid have shown their strength in La Liga and in Champions League. How they beat strong clubs in Europe and how they came back in matches of PSG and Chelsea are amazing. Those matches prove that they have very good players and strong mentality which are so helpful for them to achieve something in this season. If Sevilla can not beat Real Madrid or worse fail in the big clash, they will have to say goodbye to the title.
2716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 11, 2022, 01:43:36 PM
Yes, I agree with all that's said about Neymar, Mbappe Messi etc. IT was a good game and yes it was some crap team but you have to understand PSG have actually struggled with crap teams before so to see these 3 guys click together games in a row, and quieten down all the boos, that's something in itself.

I still don't think they come close to MSN quality though Wink
After surprisingly kicked out of Champions League by Benzema's hattrick and Real Madrid, the rest of season is over for PSG. What they play and how they play in Ligue 1 is just to complete easy task, winning Ligue 1.

Recent weeks, it has become more important place for them to build up a better connection among Messi Neymar Mbappe and try to bind Mbappe with their fans. It is hard to say it can affect the final decision of Mbappe but it is all they can hope as their very last resort to keep him in Paris.
2717  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: April 11, 2022, 11:44:53 AM
Both teams played well and in my opinion, both teams deserved to win that match. but I think it was only right for both the teams to walk away with one point each from that match.
Both teams play well but Manchester City play better and have more opportunities to score goal. They are more deserved to win the match but lack of luck, accuracy so the result is a draw for both. It looks like Manchester City will have an easier schedule until the final day but we do see how City can lose points to average clubs. Liverpool have tougher schedule but they can win Tottenham and Manchester United.

Quote
I really expected Liverpool to win that match because they had a really good record in the last five and they also needed to win to be in the first place in the league. that's why I thought they are going to be more motivated to win that match. I think Manchester City had the chance of winning that match but they did end up missing some easy ones.
They did not win it because City played better and controlled the match better. I think Klopp and City should feel happy because they did not lose it and still keep up their hope in the title race.
2718  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 11, 2022, 11:31:22 AM
RB Leipzig is good for ending the season in the top 3 in my opinion. They are playing well at the moment and the next match in Bundesliga for RB Leipzig is against Leverkusen, if they end up winning that match they will obviously be in the third spot in the points table. It seems really unlikely for any team to get closer to Dortmund or Bayern Munich. But from the third place in the points table, it is really close for every team.
Leipzig looks similar to Tottenham in Premier League or Atalanta in Serie A. They have good growth in their clubs and manage to stay in top rankings in a few continous seasons.

Medium clubs like Leipzig will face with star player bleeding after a few successful seasons. Because they can not maintain their good performance and stay in top rankings in too many seasons. Just one bad season will trigger a bleeding wave of star players which in turn will pull their general performance down in later seasons

History has its voice and it can be repeated or not. Bitcoin has big cohort wallets around $23k so it is very possible to see huge capitulation around this. From $23k to $18k is possibly a last capitulation area which might triggers a new massove bull run for Bitcoin.

The Manchester City vs Liverpool match is a meeting of the two best teams in the Premier League this season, and I don't judge some players because I think all players from both teams are all good from various lines.
This match will be very tight because both teams are currently chasing each other to fight for the top of the standings and will determine the champion if they become the winner and are also able to survive in the rest of the match.
In this match Manchester City benefited from playing at home, but I believe Liverpool will win.
It is the big match and what team lose it will face with a lose of Premier Leauge title. The season is in very last rounds and with domination of Manchester City and Liverpool, it is unrealistic to see they lose too many points after this Super Sunday.

They might lose points but what team lose in the Super Sunday will no longer be able to control the competition. They bith want the trophy and want to have control in this competiton so this match will be very tight and exciting for all.

Liverpool have been winning in the last 10 matches in the league. They have excellent statistics. But this week their rivals are Manchester City, one of the strongest teams in the league. Statistics are useless in such matches. It is very difficult to predict who will win. I expect an enjoyable game with lots of goals.
This. After this Super clash, they will be able to win all rest matches. This match is very decisive for the title. Liverpool and Manchester City have good tactics and star players who can help them to win. It is very hard for other clubs to get points from either City or Liverpool.
