Saylor and MicroStrategy should say positive things about Bitcoin because they are one of biggest institutional investors according to Bitcoin Treasuries.

https://bitcointreasuries.net/

They are old Bitcoin institutional investor so their perspective should be very solid on Bitcoin. New institutional investors can have less positive and solid thinking about Bitcoin but it is not what Saylor and MicroStrategy have.

Personally it is not actually good if we only talk about positive because it will hype people (it is what they are trying to do) and indirectly cause them to ignore risks. Mortgage to buy Bitcoin, I disagree. I am bullish with Bitcoin but I don't do that.

I don't think Mbappe and Haaland can be included in the Real Madrid squad at the same time. They will now demand a lot of money. Because they are in the forefront among the young talented players.
It is possible but still challenging before the pandemic but after the pandemic outbreak, we see how football clubs struggle with their finance and income. It has big impacts on their budget for transfers. I agree with you that it is very impossible for Real Madrid to buy both Haaland and Mbappe in a same transfer. Anyway, think of a free transfer of Mbappe in next summer, it becomes a little bit more possible.

Another challenge is salary allocation for Mbappe and Haaland will be very big.

Quote
My guess is that Real Madrid will be interested in signing Haaland. Mabppe has not yet made a decision on leaving PSG. He will probably play with Messi for a while more. Moreover, Haaland seems more suitable to me for Real Madrid. If Haaland and Vinicius are on the offensive, they will destroy any defense.Let's see how the management of Real Madrid decides.
PSG bet that they can convince Mbappe to sign a new contract in the summer. They also bet that they can win Champions League with Mbappe and Messi as core players in this ambitious plan. If they fail, Mbappe will leave I believe so. If they win Champions League, we will see how PSG convince him in the end of this summer.

Regardless of the price at the moment, the good thing is that there is something to celebrate, first of them is the fact that it has survived this long is something worth celebrating.
Hashrate is one of things help Bitcoin to survive in 13 years. A blockchain network need high hashrate to be strong and healthy. Bitcoin has it and its hashrate increases with time. There are capitulations when miners sell off their rigs but months later, new all time highs were reached. Bitcoin is unstoppable.

Quote
I don't need to tell you, a lot of projects do not get close to even 10years, talk less of surviving it.
Yeah it is one of reasons and a main reason to celebrate on a birthday of Bitcoin Genesis Block. 13 years and Bitcoin just joined the 1 Trillion marketcap club that is a big achievement.

PSG and Manchester City spend a lot of money to sort out their squads. But at the end of the season we do not get the expected performance from them. The goal of both teams is the Champions League. However, the context of this season is different. Both Manchester City and PSG are well positioned.
They are both rich clubs and over spent lots of budget for transfer. They won lots of national trophies in Ligue 1 and Premier League. What they are lack of is a trophy in Champions League and they are both hunting for their first Champions League trophy under new era with new owners, rich bosses I meant.

Quote
Manchester City is much more stable. They have played tremendously in the Champions League, they have also maintained their top spot in the Premier League. They are far ahead of Liverpool and Chelsea in the Premier League.
Similarly we can talk about PSG. They are far ahead in Ligue 1. However, in Ligue 1, however there is no team to compete for the title with PSG. The teams are weaker than PSG. However, PSG has also performed well in the Champions League.
Manchester City began their new era years before PSG and they achieved success before PSG. Anyway, in last few seasons, they both moved further in Champions League and if we consider Champions League final is a sort of achievement, they reached a same achievement. Next achievement is winning trophy. Let's wait either PSG or Manchester City will achieve it first.

I wish Sevilla would win this match. Let's get 3 points. If Sevilla can score 3 points in this match, Sevilla will have only 2 points difference with Real Madrid. And in the 21st match, if Real Madrid loses or draws, at the same time if Sevilla wins. Then their points will be equal to Real Madrid. If Sevilla's target is to win the title, they must win. There is no alternative but to win the match.
Sevilla have enough ambition and quality to win in this match. They will want to bet all resources they have to win it. It will help them to reduce the point difference with Real Madrid on the table.

It is a long and challenging race for Sevilla especially if we see their resources are worse than Real Madrid. However it is football and if they don't give up to fight, they can win the competition. We see Deportivo La Coruna, Valencia, Atletico Madrid won La Liga so Sevilla can repeat a same surprising success.

There is no question that FreeBitco.in is still the king and the world's largest and most popular Bitcoin faucet. It has over 60 million visitors monthly (according to similarweb.com) and almost 50 million registered users, which is far more than its competition. However, I think that FreeBitco.in is not only a good faucet, but also a great place for new Bitcoin users to learn more about Bitcoin. I believe the purpose of the faucet goes beyond generating  revenue; it also serves to educate people about digital currencies, to showcase Bitcoin's usefulness, and to encourage adoption.
Also FreeBitco.in is a big casino and has very long history in this industry. Also FUN token will bring more users to FreeBitco.in because one of use cases of FUN token is gambling on FreeBitco.in.

Faucets gave away big amount in the past but as long as Bitcoin and crypto market grows more, the amount from faucets have to reduce. It is fair and reasonable enough. Because the core reason of faucets is to bring a coin to the crowd, to make exposure and to help them getting experience from free coins received from faucets.

FreeBitco.in does this mission very good in many years.
2967  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What altcoin will go 10x this year? on: January 04, 2022, 04:13:44 PM
This year will be interesting but I think the market is coming to the end of this bull run which began in late of 2019 and grown so much since 2020.

I means that altcoins might have amazing growths in future months but things after that will be terrible for them. Especially for projects that are created by scammers or incapable developer teams.

I believe that the market will have shorter cycle of bull and bear because we will have bigger inflow capital in future. However, short or long lasting, bear market must come and must exist because we won't be able to see bull runs if we don't see bear market.
2968  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 04, 2022, 04:08:52 PM
With AC Milan current home form and Roma away form both are on level but with AC Milan is having some better record for playing aggressive games and doing goals I am also feeling they can win this match because last defeat against Napoli was a wake-up call for them if they need to be at second place then surely they need to do some better against team like Roma otherwise now few teams already in good form for taking their place and dropping them from their dream of having their chance for another season into European connection.
In general, AC Milan have both better players and better form than AS Roma so they will be a more favorite team in this match. Gamblers will make more bets on AC Milan than on AS Roma. I agree and I believe that AS Roma will not have an easy match and will have to fight with their best to get any point from AC Milan.

Quote
Roma having some strange results in this season as losing and having draw matches against low rank teams giving them very poor run into Italian League.
They are not weak but they are not strong enough and they are very unstable with their performance. After a good match, Roma can have a terrible match. It won't help them to go far and currently they are falling in top 4 race with Atalanta, Juventus and Napoli.

It is just idolized and exaggerated activity.

A physical Bitcoin sent to the Moon, what does it mean? Nothing in my opinion.

However it will be a huge achievement if they send ASICs to the Moon, set up a mining farm there and really mine Bitcoin from the Moon. It means Bitcoin transactions can be confirmed by a full node on the Moon. It proves the Bitcoin technology can work borderless, planet-less.
2970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: January 04, 2022, 03:28:32 PM
Just getting to the top 5 is already very difficult, let alone reaching a trophy which is even more impossible. Where Manchester United can't really play to improve its performance. While they were with Carrick, they opened up quite a lot of opportunities. However, because a new coach is always considered unable to adjust the characteristics they have. To me, that's just an excuse. considering all are trying to reach the top.
After few seasons, Manchester United have less dependence on Bruno Fernandez but he is losing his best performance so the reduced dependence on Bruno comes from both this player and whole system of Manchester United. Personally, I think their system is very bad with creativeness that in turn limits key passes for attacking players or strikers.

I disagree with the behave of Ronaldo when he complained too much and react aggressively with his team mates but I agree that his team mates don't do good jobs.

Quote
Only Man City, Chelsea, and Liverpool are spearheading the trophy.
It seems only Manchester City are on the way to take the trophy. They are collecting much more points than Chelsea and Liverpool. If Manchester City won't self suicide in the second half of season, they will take the trophy.

2972  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: January 03, 2022, 01:23:32 PM
Getafe played more defensively in that match, so I think that made it difficult for Real Madrid to score. Real Madrid's stats were pretty good in that match, but Milito's error early in the first half should be a lesson that any team can win a match even if they are not at their best.
As a weaker team, it is a good approach from Getafe. If they don't prioritize for defense, their defense will be easily broken by attacking power of Real Madrid. Real Madrid lost this match because their players did not finish good enough. Anyway, Getafe team did their great job.

Quote
Due to Real Madrid's defeat, the competition in Laliga will get better, but so far only Sevilla are the only team capable of challenging Real Madrid in the title race. Then from that, Atletico Madrid's bad trend seems to have ended where in the last match Atletico Madrid could win the match vs Rayo Vallecano 2-0. Atletico must improve their performance to return to compete at the top.
I don't think this competition is more exciting significantly. This defeat of Real Madrid brings more hope to Sevilla and neutral fans but with Sevilla, they will probably not be able to fight against Real Madrid till the end. In general, their squad have worse quality than that of Real Madrid. In experience, their players don't have it for such tough competition.

In the past season, Sevilla suddenly appeared in La Liga competition in very last rounds but that's it, they failed.
2973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 03, 2022, 01:17:57 PM
It's true, among the teams that are in the top 5 Juventus are the fewest in the number of goals, and until half this season they have not found a solution in attack, Napoli may not be very good in the last few games but their defense is quite solid, it's very possible this match ends goalless.
The attacking system of Juventus are struggling to score goals after the departure of Ronaldo but together as a team, they manage to score enough important goals to win enough matches. With Juventus, give them a goal and you will struggle to beat them. Max is very good to help their teams protecting leading goals and complete such matches with 3 points.

Napoli may be able to score because so far they have collected 35 goals in their last 19 match. Maybe Juventus is difficult to score because Napoli is a team with a strong defense so far in Serie A and Juventus also don't have a high number of goals, but I don't believe this match will end in a goalless draw. If Juventus manage to score, Napoli will also score.
It is not true in recent matches. When Napoli got a long win streak, they had little conceded goals but things changed considerably in last few matches. They more easily to be beaten by others and got more conceded goals. Their defense now are weaker not only because their defenders play worse but because their whols system works worse recent matches. Injured players hurt a general performance of Napoli. Juventus in contrast are coming back and this match will be hard for Napoli.

Quote
But considering Napoli are not at their best at the moment then Juventus might be able to win this match. This is strongly supported by the good performance of Juventus in the last few matches.
Because of this, I have more belief that Juventus will win against Napoli.

Magic.

It's very lazy plagiarism of my post. I believe no excuse or appeal will be accepted. I can not imagine why you want to earn merit and copied, pasted, skipped source to get it.  Roll Eyes

I have taken the time to read a lot and also summarize some of the important points I have learned and also This thread plays as a reminder for all forum members, especially shit posters, whom have kept continuously to post their shitpost daily.
One of shitpost.

This thread plays as a reminder for all forum members, especially shit posters, whom have kept continuously to post their shitpost daily.
This thread is for old-era members, and for new-era members whom joined here after merit system kicked-off.
What are everyone's ideas for improving post quality?

I have mostly ruled out:

- Removing signatures or sig ads globally.
 - Requiring payment to wear sig ads.
 - Banning account sales.
Nearly a month later, merit system released
Merit & new rank requirements
I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
 - Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.
Around 2 weeks later, theymos wrote
It's too early to get a clear picture, but my thoughts so far:

First, most people complaining about merit are constantly posting garbage, and should not rank-up. The forum is not a welfare system; you don't run through a few hoops and then get paid for doing something that nobody actually wants. I like that good forum members can make money, especially when said forum members are in poorer countries and this is a major opportunity for them. I very much do not want to destroy the sig-ad/airdrop/bounty "industry". But I am not going to tolerate people posting garbage upon garbage. If the merit system completely fails and I can't think of anything else to replace it, then my next step will probably be to completely remove all ways for forum users to make money from posting (eg. removing signatures entirely).

Maybe there are ways for people who were making money by posting garbage on the forum to make money on other sites with easy bounties, etc. (For example, I don't know if they're actually any good, but https://bountyhive.io is currently advertising on the forum.) But people should use the forum to talk about these money-making ideas, not as a way of making money itself. Once you spend a lot of time here, you may be able to make some money here (which is great!), but you should consider this a far-off hope, not your primary objective.

BTW, if anyone has any ideas for simple things that these ex-nonsense-posters could usefully do to make money, I think that this'd be a good project right now. There are apparently quite a few people who were making money on the forum and could use guidance. Even though their past activities were not good for this forum, I doubt that they are useless in general.

Above is reminded section on theymos' standpoints on post quality, forum situation, plans and expectation to clean up the forum by merit system.
The system born as main tool to fight against spammers; keep them unable to rank up, and reduce spam posts.

Did it help as expected? Not.

Merit system failed at somewhat extents, spammers stucked on low ranks, but they kept spamming, globally.
That is why around 8 months later, in September last year, theymos moved further by derank Junior Members whom did not earn 1 merit (at least) by that day.
Due to excessive garbage-posting, you now need 1 merit to be a Jr Member. All existing Jr Members who didn't meet the requirement were demoted. Also, newbies can no longer set any signature or personal text.

One reason that I was hesitant to do this before is that there are an awful lot of newbie restrictions, and I don't want the forum to be unwelcoming to good newbies.
After that, it seems merit system and that demotion on old-era Junior Members have significant impacts on spamming here.
Newbies stopped spamming because they can not rank up to Junior Members. It is truly right with farm accounts, but there are 'companies' that run bumping services still use their Newbie accounts to spam globally.
In Welcome message (draft), admin wrote
A lot of people come here primarily looking to make money. The forum administration is very happy that people are able to use the forum in order to better themselves; indeed, one of the reasons for Bitcoin's creation was to break the artificial barriers which prevent so many people around the world from attaining prosperity. However, if your attempts to make money conflict with the forum's primary goal of enabling discussion, then you are swimming upstream, and you will not be sucessful in the end.

If you view the forum as some sort of "job" where you complete some basic tasks and get paid, then you will almost certainly be disappointed, and the forum administration will not be sympathetic. If you do make money using the forum, then it will be through innovation and entrepreneurship, not any sort of mindless busywork.



Solutions
Please stop or reduce considerably your spam posts. Admin actually want to keep signature and signature industry, for good users, to have extra income.
You should support admin's standpoints on post-quality and help the forum as less shitposts as possible.
Be good, be constructive, help the forum, and help yourself!
2975  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What altcoins would you invest $ 1,000,000 in? on: January 02, 2022, 05:54:04 PM
But the situation is interesting, imagine that things are going well and at one point your deposit is $ 1,000,000.
If you have $1M, you should invest in Bitcoin, not altcoins.

Because it is a big capital and with a big capital you must invest into a coin which high trading volume. That will help you to enter and exit with a price you want.

With altcoins, if you enter or exit with $1M, you will force the price up or down too much. More terrible, altcoins are more risky than Bitcoin so if you invest into altcoins which already pumped 100 or 1000 times, your capital can be divided with 10, 100 or 1000 times again. So in worst situation, your $1M capital will become $1000, $10000 or $100,000 in the end. Nightmare

You don't need to rely on El Salvador President to make decision to hold your Bitcoin. Price will touch to $100,000 but when? It can be in 2022 or 2032. Are you young or old? If you are young, you will be able to make a 10-year plan or longer for your Bitcoin investment.

Hold it 10 years and you will be able to sell it at $100,000 or even higher $1M. If price moves faster, you will be able to sell it at $100,000 sooner than in 2031.

If you can't hold, you can't get rich as CZ tweeted.
2977  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 02, 2022, 05:35:20 PM
The Milan v Roma match on the coming week will be really interesting I think. Maybe there is a gap of ten points between these two teams in the standings currently.
This is not only interesting match for fans and audience but also very important for two clubs. AC Milan need to win to keep their race with Inter Milan. AS Roma need to win to keep their hope for a position in top 4.

Quote
But this could be misleading also as we saw how perfect Roma performed against Atalanta previously in the Serie A. Milan should be very careful in their defense as Roma have dangerous attacking players. Especially Tammy Abraham is very effective in scoring lately. As long as Milan do this, I think they will have a chance to beat their tough opponent.
Roma in this season are very unstable like this. They can have great matches then terrible matches. Hence in general, they did not collect too many points compare to other opponents for top 4 competition. Abraham scored some goals for Roma and helped them win a few matches but he did miss many good opportunities. He should finish such opportunities better as main striker of Roma.

Milan and Roma are both very strong teams in the Italian league so far. Milan are now second in the league whereas Roma is in 6th place.

Even though there is a difference of 10 points between them.
Roma are far from AC Milan and player quality of AC Milan is better in general. Roma have good squad but they don't have good players on bench for substitutions in case of injuries from main squad players or when Mourinho need to change tactics to find goals. This lack of good choices from bench has been proven in many matches of this season.

We don't have to spend any budget for mainstream media to shill Bitcoin.

Crazy investors invest with doge for long term and for sure they will cry later on once Elon mus abandon this coin in future, we already know him as grand manipulator so its crazy for people to play on fire what Elon set. That's why its good not to listen on his manipulation technique's since we already know how strong bitcoin is even without his presence.
Elon won't abandon Dogecoin soon because his power is still big. When he realizes that there are more big investors come to Dogecoin and his power is smaller, he might reduce his shill and tweet about Dogecoin. Nevertheless, I don't think Elon will completely abandon Dogecoin if he still has investment in crypto.

It is magic of attraction in crypto market. When you love a coin and it brings huge profit to your portfolio, sooner or later you will buy it back. Dogecoin has good survival and it is another plus point that Elon will not leave it. I think using the term abandon is not accurate because Elon does not involve in any development of Dogecoin project.
