Roma can at least still scores when it was playing away. Feyenoord has equal performance compared to the roma. These clubs are so struggling to beat each other even though there have been many shoots were happening.
They have same quality and the first leg match again proves it. They had a draw and the match is quite balancing between two teams. With this draw at a home-away stadium, AS Roma will have a little bit advantage before hosting Feyenoord at their home stadium Olimpico but this advantage is not too big. I am not surprised if they get another draw at Olimpico and have to play extra halfs or even penalties.

Quote
Roma needs be careful for the second leg. Playing at home gives roma more advantage but i think that we shall never ever underestimate our opponent. I was not betting in this match coz it's hard to bet on it. It was too risky to take caused by feyenoord is as strong as roma.
Roma only needs to beat Feyenoord at home to go next, a draw like 0 - 0 can not help them to go next because there is no longer home-away advantage by new rules from UEFA.

Roma created many opportunities in a first leg match but they only scored one goals from a Lukaku headshot. One shot from Paredes hits the cross bar and they wasted other chances. Feyenoord shown that they are strong and can create dangerous chances and can score goal against Roma. They can even think of beating Roma at Olimpico so I agree with you on this, Roma need to win a next match but they must play very carefully.

I've took noticed that alot of users are always in a hurry to reply a post expecially newbies, I know it is a good strategies to always try to make your reply to be among the first or at least fifth position, because it would make it easier for other users to see and to read it.
They are not actually newbies because newbies don't have enough knowledge about the forum and other things like basics on Bitcoin, altcoins to reply fast.

You are right about this style, replying fast to fish merit and the OP and first posters usually come from same local boards. They like have a phone ring bell to notify each other to join a same topic and try to create fake topics, ask non sense questions like newbies. Then other newbies reply to fish merit from merit sources.

This is a tough match for Chelsea, it's not easy to get points at the Etihad stadium, especially when Manchester City performance is on fire. In the last few matches played by Manchester City, they have always achieved maximum results, this time Manchester City will try to widen their list of wins while maintaining the opportunity to displace Liverpool in first place. A stronger defense and a sharper front line will make it easier for Manchester City to add three points. Defending the trophy this season is one of Manchester City's targets, Guardiola will continue to try to bring his team to maintain its level in order to achieve success at the end of the season.
With an easy win against Copenhagen, Manchester City nearly got qualified for Champions League quarter finals. They can return to Premier League with better focus and without much distraction from Champions League. They still need to race against Liverpool and Arsenal for a title in Premier League. Chelsea whenever is always a big team in Premier League. They are in a long lasting crisis since the past season but in their squad, there are star players who can decide result of a big match.

Manchester City are stronger, no doubt, but they must aware danger of Chelsea and be careful for the upcoming match. Chelsea still want to play with best and some of their players are trying to create impression to be chosen for national teams as Euro 2024 will be live in the summer. This match is still a big barrier for Manchester City on their adventure to lift the league trophy.

App store of Play Store likely take down the fake apps soon after it's being reported but I just want to laugh at the face of people who claim Apple's ecosystem is highly secured and so they are paying double or triple the times than it's cost.
It's bad policy to approve application listing quickly and let people exposed to fake apps, then waiting for reports from community before taking down fake apps.

Meanwhile, there are victims of fake applications who will lose money to those fake apps.

A better policy is more strictly with approval procedure and minimize fake apps as lowest as possible. It will help users to have less exposure to fake apps but users on their sides must know where to get download links and simple steps to verify what are possibly fake apps (low download numbers, bad reviews, etc.)

For Bayern Munich, do you wanna blame what? Take that dig directly to the manager, he should know what's wrong and be able to fix that, ok knew and predicted they're no longer favorites for this Champions League Competition this exact season.
Thomas Tuchel has to show working, believe me, all he's done in the Bundesliga will definitely reflect on the Champions League Competition.

Seven shots yet no target? This is serious!
Bayern Munich created many opportunities and they had some good attacking combinations. What they lack of is only accurate shots in the match. If they can convert one of those chances to a goal, they would have gotten a draw in the first leg. They did not have a good match but with opportunities they created, they can win the second match at home with a condition, making more accurate shots.

Lazio will play more defensive in Munich because it's a home-away match and it's also because they already got an advantage from the first-leg match. Bayern Munich will pay expensive cost if they continue to waste opportunities.

I remember a few years ago when we were waiting for Manchester United to see them at the top of the table and win the premier league title but it seems this team is very far from good and they are losing points even after all the changes Ten Hag made in this team. I think one big reason for Manchester United's bad results in this season so far was their goalkeeper Onana and they are definitely losing many games because of him. Maybe they had to move back and hire De Gea again to have a better situation.
They have never played well enough to get a position and high chance to win Premier League like Arsenal in Premier League 2022 - 2023 (the last season). They ended as a runner-up with Mourinho but very far below Manchester City.

This season looks not too good for them because they have no chance to win Premier League and even a chance to participate in top four, is still small. They are under Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur with big point differences. The season has 14 matches left for each club but with 5 points less than Aston Villa, 6 points less than Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United have many things to do to beat two competitors and get a fourth position.

They do not like the fact that big block chains (BSV, BCH) have miniscule hashrate compared to BTC, which makes them prone to 51% attacks:

They already have what they want (big blocks in forked/worthless chains), but not in their preferred chain (BTC). Wink
They cloned Bitcoin and call their coins as Bitcoin forks. Claim that their coins are better than Bitcoin but their blockchains have 51% attacks, Bitcoin blockchain did not have such attack so far.

Also there are estimates on cost of attacks on blockchains.

I've learned the dangers of oversharing online, especially about Bitcoin. Silence is golden.
It comes from their own personal traits and characteristics. Some people always want to have private life and they don't mind to share personal information exclusively profit from investment or what they invest money in.

Some other people, in contrast, want to be recognized by the crowd and they share personal information that they believe can help them to be more recognizable, more famous. By this, they self-break their privacy and worse, can have danger in life.

I advise them to maintain their digital wallet as close as their actual wallet.
I don't really understand this advice that seems to be incorrect too.

Digital wallets can be custodial or non-custodial, open source or close source.

A good wallet to use is open source, non-custodial.

Finally, after being absent for a long time, it seems Neymar is back in Saudi Arabia. When he got injured while playing for Brazil he decided to stay in his own country to get in the letter form however Al Hilal wanted to have their player in Saud Arabia while recovering but he didn't.
Now he returned to Saudi Arabia however we don't know how long it takes for him to be able to play for his team again.


I saw a photo of Neymar weeks ago and it seems he is overweight during his recovery time. With that body weight, Neymar put his body under risk of more injuries and even serious injuries. It also challenges him to play well when he fully recovers from the injury.

I question that how many matches Neymar will be able to play for Al Hilal before getting another injury and miss some months for medical treatments and recovery again.

Regarding the type of injury Neymar has and the surgery he underwent then for sure he will stay out of the field for quite long periods. At least 6 months, that's the duration of recovery from knees injuries, that duration might gets reduced to 4 months if everything went well and Neymar and his team wants to talk the risk.
Brazilian national team won't expect him to play sooner than summer
Neymar will not have big international duty with Brazil in summer 2024 and he will aim at World Cup 2026 as his last World Cup for Brazil and last opportunity to win it.

Neymar will not take risk to return some months sooner and face with higher risk of re-injury. He will prioritize a complete recovery and only get back to training and playing when his body exclusively his knee is ready.

There is one mistake that I see most newbies make. I don't know if other experienced crypto enthusiasts make such mistakes, but it's about storing their wallet phrase or private key online. Some software Android wallets usually ask users to backup their secret phrases to Google Drive or the cloud, and some inexperienced crypto users usually fall for this nonsense feature initiated by those wallets. TrustWallet has such a feature, as does OperaminiWallet. 
A good reminder.

Don't store wallet file, wallet backups online like Google Drive, Dropbox, Azzure and any messenger application. They are not your homes and data can be breached, your accounts can be hacked.

Store your wallet, its backups offline, airgap is best.

People also have another bad practice, automatic save passwords when they log in accounts or wallets. It's potential nightmare in future if they are not aware of risk and continue to practice it and use a password for too long time.

Copenhagen is a weaker team when compared to Manchester City but they really did well to have made it this far in the champions league. There only hope I saw was when they play from home, they could get a chance to win or even draw with Manchester City and then fight their way through when going to play at Etihad stadium. With today’s result, I think it is very clear that Copenhagen won’t make it to the next round and Manchester City already booked their ticket for the next round already. Even as they will be eliminated from this stage, it is a very important achievement for them to have come this far in the champions league after facing a tough group fixture that they had to fight their way through to have made it for this current round.
Copenhagen is weaker and this defeat is expected as Manchester City are much stronger. Kevin De Bruyne scored a simple goal to open the match for Manchester City and at the end, they won big.

In this match, Haaland made an unbelievable shot when his feet is about 2.34 meter from the ground. Unfortunately, it's not a goal for Haaland but it still shows impressive physical strength of Haaland.

With this big win, Manchester City can think of quarter final matches and can return to focus on Premier League where they have one match to convert it to a winning and can lead Premier League.

Juventus are already losing the pace for the league title and with their continuous lost, it will amount to them to lose the title race battle to Inter Milan very early. If they are not careful, the could even give their current position out which will make them have to fight their way into top four again. I am really having a lot of hope and optimistic about Juventus giving Inter Milan a very serious challenge before they can triumph for the Scudetto, but they’re really making me fell less of them now instead of more. I just hope they change their tactics and become better in the league once more like before.
Juventus with latest bad results, now have only one point more than AC Milan and potentially get 10 points less than Inter Milan. With very excellent form of Inter Milan and only 14 matches left (15 for Inter Milan), Juventus will need magic to catch the competitor in rest match days.

They need double conditions, first they must have outstanding performances until the final match day, second they need Inter Milan suddenly play very bad in coming matches. These double conditions look to be unrealistic to exist at the same time.

With Juventus, failure in Scudetto competition is very disappointed because they focused on it as their biggest target in this season, since its beginning.

Tiny amounts of sats are sometimes sent to addresses that are linked to your identity in a hope that it would help them link more of your addresses. I and many other members of this forum have received such dust amounts to addresses that we staked here for a proof of identity. If we don't practice coin control and accidentally use these sats in our transaction, this would link our forum identity to more of our addresses, which is what the attackers want.
With altcoins, especially scam altcoins, they will try to look at top rich list wallet addresses of other tokens, to distribute their scam airdrops.

Those scam altcoins even don't have colorful and icon which were verified by blockchain explorers like Etherescan.io or bscscan.com. Those scam tokens have grey icons with a default native currency of that blockchain icon. Stay away from such airdrops because if anyone interact with those scam smart contracts, they will lose money.

With Bitcoin, I agree with you that good practice of coin control will help us to protect our privacy and identity.

Aston villa deserve to have won this game but then they were unlucky with the game yesterday, they did played well and Manchester united were playing almost nothing but they had the goal opportunity and were really making good use of it well enough, I did enjoyed every but of play by Aston villa I was hoping they will win.
If difference between winner and loser is small, I would say both teams deserve to have a win or at least a draw. It is unfair to say Manchester United were not deserve to win this match even they are the winner after the final whistle. Both teams created some opportunities and Manchester United scored more goals than Aston Villa to be the winner. I don't see big difference in total chances they created in the match by that I mean Manchester United are actually deserved as a winner.

Quote
Even with the victory Manchester united is still behind Aston villa in this game and Aton villa is at fifth position while Manchester united is at the sixth position on the table, I was hoping Manchester united will be able to get ahead of Aston villa but with the current points difference I doubt if Manchester united will be able to get ahead of Aston villa soon before the end of the season, Aston villa and Manchester united will now be in the race for the fourth position on the table.
At least, this winning help them to reduce point difference with Aston Villa. It's good, not bad and it can be a beginning of something better for Manchester United. Aston Villa started to have worse performances and if they can not break this trend, they will fall deeper on the table.

I think maybe it just takes a little luck for Juventus to win the title this season, namely by waiting for Inter Milan to make mistakes and many of their key players get injured so they have to be absent which will make Inter Milan play not optimally, so that Juventus can overtake them at the top standings, but that may be difficult at the moment because it seems that Inter Milan is playing very aggressively and is very determined to achieve the Italian Serie A title race this season.
Luckiness can help Juventus to win a single match but to win a battle (a league competition which lasts long enough), Juventus need more than luckiness. They will need to play well enough to convert luckiness in one or some matches to big advantage for winning Scudetto.

In this season, they need to have outstanding performances in rest months to beat Inter Milan that have been playing very impressively and are leading Juventus with good point difference. They just won over AS Roma even at Olimpico, a home stadium of Roma, and after were led 2-1 by Roma in a first half. They came bac strongly in a second half and won Roma 4 - 2 eventually.
316  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Spot ETFs hit $10 Billion milestone just one month after approval on: February 12, 2024, 10:47:00 AM
Spot ETFs scooping up Bitcoin like crazy is impressive especially compared to Microstrategy's slower accumulation. Predicting year-end holdings is tricky because the crypto market is wild like regulations, public opinion and economic shifts can throw things off. While more growth is likely, putting an exact number on it is like trying to predict the weather in a storm
There are 11 Bitcoin Spot ETFs while only 1 MicroStrategy so this comparison is basically wrong. We can compare them just for rough information but with awareness that it is wrong comparison.

The accumulation from Bitcoin Spot ETFs is only at beginning and they will accumulate more Bitcoin, not only in this 2024 - 2025 bull run but in future years. Some says "Don't sell your bitcoin to Wall Street" and I agree with this saying.

How about people who are still worrying that will Bitcoin make a new all time high, will have to think of their fear again and again.
317  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Inverse Cramer Strikes Again on: February 12, 2024, 09:32:39 AM
The reason why he is so popular is because when you are a new investor, you watch his show and think he knows what he is talking about.

It’s gotten to the point where many hedge funds themselves get cautious holding on to positions he is referring to on his shows.

I find that he basically chases price both ways. When something is going up, he talks about it, it peaks usually then because many long term holders start to take profit.

Same with going the opposite direction. He tweeted about bitcoin near the highs, it revered and later near the lows and it reversed again.
He is famous before working for the television channel and it is easier for people to believe in successful and famous people than a poor person who doesn't have a successful career.

People are responsible for their activities so if they decide to invest money into something, they must afford to be responsible for that action and afford to lose money. Believe in Jim Cramer is not reason for their loss or profit and they can believe in words of other people, not only Jim Cramer. He needs to gain traffic for that television channel and program because he works for them and gets payment to complete that task.

Generally Jim Cramer only has to finish what he is hired for.

Probably the reason that people still listens to him is because he's the one that's a good way to know if you can get a profit from investing in something that he's talking about, just do the opposite of what he says and I think that it's a really good way to go. Cramer is the Cassandra of investments albeit we know for a fact that we don't have to believe in his predictions. I think that this guy deserves my follow on X, seems like a good way to aide your predictions on your investments in case he talks about it.
He has a successful career and he was hired to be like an influencer to gain more audience to a television channel. When we are discussing about him in Bitcointalk, there are more people watching his shows on television, on Youtube and also discussing about him somewhere else.

It means the television channel already gained success by hiring Cramer to work for them.

Don't trust his words of mouth, verify what he says and with Internet, freedom of information, we can filter information not only from Cramer but also from other people includes influencers.

Inter Milan's performance against Roma lived up to expectations. As the fovorite contender for the league title, anything less than a win against Roma would have been considered a disappointment. Roma, with their new inexperienced manager, faced a formidable challenge in trying to overcome Inter Milan, especially considering Inter's consistent performance both domestically and in elite competitions. The fact that Inter secured the win, particularly while playing away from home, shows their superiority and determination.
Inter Milan are stronger and they finished the match as a winner as predicted by many people. They actually had some fearful minutes in the match before they can equalize the match and led Roma 3 -2. The final goal to nail the match as 4 - 2 is only at very late minute and it only polishes the winning for Inter Milan. In fact, they were challenged seriously by Roma and even faced with a loss.

Quote
While Roma may have put up a fight by scoring two goals, Inter Milan's quality and resilience prevailed. This win further solidifies Inter's position as frontrunners for the Serie A title this season, with the trophy seemingly within their reach. But Roma have put their best efforts and resilience, as they demonstrated determination and competitiveness despite the odds stacked against them.
Roma played well enough and they even came closely to an equalizer 3 -3 if Lukaku can handle a good pass from Pellegrini better. If he can score a goal in that situation, I believe the match would end as a draw for both teams.

The loss is bad in result but in performance, it shows good signal that AS Roma actually are improving with De Rossi. They are playing more attacking and more effectively in attacking but there is still common hole in their team. Defensive system must be improved as it is weak in both coaches, Mourinho and De Rossi. They let Marcus Thuram scored two easy goals by crossing touches.
