In the following I list three projects in which I have taken part or still take part and can therefore recommend them.

Komodo pays you an annual reward for staking of about 5%. More information on https://www.stakingrewards.com/earn/komodo

Waves pays you an annual reward for staking of about 5-7%. More information on https://www.stakingrewards.com/earn/waves

Tezos pays you an annual reward for staking of about 5-6%. More information on https://www.stakingrewards.com/earn/tezos

If you're shocked, then you've never looked at most of the ERC20's. 99% of the ERC20 tokens are complete garbage. Sorry for the choice of words, but it is correct. There are very few who really have a use and these are mostly tokens that are about to switch to their own chain.


Similar to above: Already in 2017 it was shown that with increased use of the Ethereum chain (at that time triggered by the many ERC20s due to the ICO boom) the fees increase extremely. Seen even stronger than Bitcoin's fees in relative comparison. That was more than three years ago, and little has been done in development to improve it. If this surprises you, then you haven't looked closer at Ethereum at all.

Well, I would go for Telegram. Most people in betting use it and you immediately get notifications. Twitch is not that handy in my opinion, especially for people watching while on the go. As a third option, and to stear a middle course between the two, I would recommend Discord.

Agree with you in the point that such cup matches are special and have their own rules. I am very curious how Bayern will react after the surprising defeat. Frankfurt today has the opportunity to create a surprise similar to Gladbach.

Well, the funny thing is, many (tech avid) people I know asked themselves late 2017 how they could have missed the Bitcoin train all the years. In early 2018, they were very happy they missed the train and almost forget Bitcoin again. In late 2020, same people asked themselves again how they could have missed the train again A never ending loop.

That's a good question. From the psychological point of view, I would say that this type of advertisement will stay in the memory longer. Because this is exactly the aim of advertising. Through constant repetition or through particularly aggressive advertising, to anchor it in the minds of the customer. But I just wonder whether an advertisement that is so disturbing and that might get stuck in some people's minds would really generate more customer traffic and thus more sales. I doubt.

Bis hierher habe ich Merits verteilt. Alle nachkommenden Posts müssen leider warten bis wieder was vorhanden ist. Manchmal tröpfeln ein zwei Wochen nur wenige Merits ein und dann wieder gleich zwei drei Dutzend. Ich habe das System noch nicht wirklich durchblickt. Habe aber alle Posts hier im Blick  

There are a few factors that suggest it won't happen this time. However, it cannot be ruled out that prices will correct, as they have simply risen too quickly in the past few weeks. We already had the first correction yesterday and I still expect Bitcoin prices well below $ 30k. The only question is whether only Bitcoin will correct so much and whether the Altcoins will also fall heavily.

Klar, das mit der Akzeptanz ist die eine Seite aber auch solche Coins würden einen Gebührenanstieg verzeichnen wenn sie in dem Maße wie Bitcoin verwendet werden würden. Was ich damit sagen wollte, war, dass sie nicht skalieren und als gängige Zahlungsmethode (leider) immer noch nicht geeignet sind.

To be honest: Never in the last two or three years. When I started to deal with Bitcoin over eight years ago, many did not know about Bitcoin. So I tried to explain, but less were interested. That changed in 2017 at the latest when Bitcoin was on everyone's lips due to the first big pump. Since then, I haven't really met anyone who hasn't heard of Bitcoin. But that may differ from country to country. It would be interesting to know which country you come from?

Dijon - Marseille -> 0:0 -> bet lost
Bayer Leverkusen - Werder Bremen -> 1:1 -> bet lost
Osasuna - Real Madrid -> 0:0 -> bet lost

I am wondering if you have any statistics of your predictions? If I just take your six predictions above you have a 50% win rate, what is pretty average. It is even more worse because you mostly chose bets with very low odds, what gives you -20% loss if you would have bet $10 on each match (stake $60, won $48).

Oh, es bekommt Junges. Tötet es bevor es zu spät ist!!  

Man kann für die ganze Kryptowelt nur hoffen, dass IOTA technisch Erfolg haben wird. Es ist mittlerweile wirklich eine Qual mit Bitcoin, Ethereum und Konsorten zu bezahlen. Wollte kürzlich ein Twitch-Abo für meinen Lieblingsstreamer für $4,99 erstmals mit Bitcoin verlängern (was seit geraumer Zeit von Twitch aka Amazon über Drittanbieter angeboten wird), aber bei über $4 zusätzlichen Gebühren, war mir das dann zu dumm. Bitcoin mag Sinn machen für die langfristige Geldanlage und gegen den Notenbank-Wahnsinn, sowie bei größeren Transaktionen wo ein paar Dollar Gebühren nicht ins Gewicht fallen, aber für Transaktionen bis in den mittleren dreistelligen Dollarbereich weiterhin nicht zu gebrauchen.

I watched the last couple of Juventus games live on TV. What surprised me is that they haven't been able to dominate their opponents as they did the last two seasons. In particular, I suspect that Christiano Ronald is performing significantly worse this season than the last two and that the entire Juventus gameplay is suffering as a result, because it is primarily designed for Christiano Ronaldo. I wonder if Ronaldo's underperformance can be traced back to the aftereffects of his Covid-19 infection. What do you mean?

Overall, a match day with many surprises. I am glad I did not find the time to bet, otherwise I would have lost valuable Bitcoins

I did not expect Bayern will lose the match, especially not after a 0-2 lead. I did not expect Schalke wins its match that clear against Hoffenheim (although I gave them a chance to win when they fight hard, but not that clear) and finally, I did not expect that Dortmund dominates Leipzig in that way they did. Really surprising, also the 5-0 win of Freiburg against Köln. Such match days can make betting really hard.

No, it did not. If you're just looking at dollar prices, maybe you mean it. But switch the altcoin prices at Coinmarketcap to Bitcon prices, then almost all altcoins are strongly in the red, which means that they have lost a lot of value compared to Bitcoin. The dollar price of altcoins has only risen because the bitcoin dollar price has risen faster than the altcoins lost in relation to the bitcoin price. So we haven't seen an altcoin rally yet.

Hab alle Posts hier im Thread sowie per PN soweit bedacht. Bin jetzt aber erstmal wieder Pleite was Merits angeht.

Danke @Lafu für den Hinweis! Ging jetzt doch sehr schnell bei -doubleU-  

I am not a DASH investor. But I was interested in the project for a while and it didn't occur to me that Dash would be a privacy coin like Monero. It may be that there have been some who like to see Dash as a privacy coin, but they are the same ones who consider Bitcoin anonymous. The statement is also understandable: Dash wants to go mainstream with Dashpay as a payment option. And for this, the supervisory authorities must also be convinced. This is much easier if you are not a "privacy coin".

Not really. If you go back to March last year, the price of Bitcoin collapsed due to Covid restrictions and an expected financial and economical crisis. But after it became clear that the economic situation was not going to be as bad as expected, and after a huge amount of money was made available by the central banks, the price recovered. If we were in a real financial crisis like 2008, then the Bitcoin price would not be as high by far.

The thing is, all I'm putting in is money that I really don't need. That means, the money for life and my fixed savings rate is already factored out. The money that I lose (although I often win more than I lose, especially when betting), I book under having fun. Of course you can later think, oh what money could I have saved if I hadn't used it for gambling. But as I said, it was used to have fun. Just like when you go to the cinema or the disco. In the end you don't ask yourself what I could have saved if I had never gone to the cinema or the disco.

In fact, I see it that way too. The match is important for both teams. Leipzig has to win to play for the title with Bayern, although Bayern also have tough opponent with Gladbach and a victory for Bayern is not guaranteed. For Dortmund, a win is important to be a candidate for the title. If Dortmund lose the match, they have next to no chance to win the title this year. Bayern, Leipzig and Leverkusen are simply too strong for that. Definitely an exciting game day.
