Absolutely, and what else speaks against the theory is that Bitcoin would be finished if all players would lose confidence in it. The fate of Bitcoin is in the hands of many independent people who work together to create such an amazing network.

Well, but Real's players are also significantly older than Liverpool's team. That could make up for this disadvantage for Liverpool. Liverpool now has two important games left this season (last league game and CL final). For these two games, the highlights of the season, they will once again put everything on the line, no matter if they are physically and mentally drained or not.

I would not say that he can not longer play in this system, because the system has not changed. Rather, he would only be a supplementary player and that is certainly not the role in which he sees himself.
At 35, he has experienced everything. For him, the best solution would be to play another 1-2 years in the U.S. or Arabia and earn good money for retirement.

USDC hatte ich bisher auf der Waves Exchange nicht in Betracht gezogen. Das Algo-basierte "Stablecoins" Risiko haben war mir schon vorher klar, aber das was letztens mit USDN und nun mit Terra passiert ist, bringt mich schon zum umdenken, ob man diese überhaupt noch als Stablecoins bezeichnen kann. Was haltet ihr denn von der Stablität von USDC auf der Waves Exchange?

Well, I am a friend of renewable energy but I am also realistic. Europe, with its enormous hunger for energy, cannot supply itself alone. The only option would be nuclear energy, but it is neither renewable, nor does it produce radioactive waste, and it would continue to depend on uranium and plutonium from other countries. Only when hydrogen can be produced at an acceptable economic rate can Europe become energy independent, but I fear that will take a while.

Yeap, remembers me to a friend with very week hands. Before Corona he bought Bitcon at about $11k. While Corona crash he sold at $4.6k even though I advised him to wait because I was convinced it will rise again. He did not hear and sold. After the crash and the fast rise of Bitcoin price he bought in again, very late at $48k. He told me yesterday that he sold again at $31k I have never sold, not during Corona, nor do I now.

Metaverse is still a very abstract term used mainly for marketing purposes. Facebook popularized Metaverse because the corporation is looking for a new growth area after Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram are slowly reaching their limits.

If that, Metaverse will only play a role in a few years and by then the coins that now focus on the Metaverse are history anyway. That is why an investment in such coins is still worthwhile in the short term in my opinion.

Especially now that the tech bubble has started to burst.

Conceding a lot of goals? Do you expect a match with so many goals in regular time? Personally, I rather expect a very even game, where Liverpool tries to make the game and use its strong offense, and Real listens to counterattacks to successfully complete them through its strong midfield and Benzema. This is usually a constellation of very few goals in regular time.

Most positions in the league are fixed, nothing will change. The most interesting thing is whether Hertha Berlin or Stuttgart will have to go through relegation. In addition, it is still interesting whether Freiburg or Leipzig gets the fourth place and thus directly qualifies for the Champions Leauge and whether Cologne or Union Berlin qualifies for the EL. Everything else is in principle completely uninteresting.

Yes, both countries are among the most dependent on Russian gas in Europe. But it does not have to last several years. Germany, for example, has reduced its gas dependence on Russia from 25% to 12% within a few months, with the goal of halving it again by winter.

No, Bitcoin has lost so much in the days because of Luna and TerraUSD. The "stablecoin" had used Bitcoin as a cover. Due to the massive collapse of Terra, Bitcoin which were bought to cover Terra had to be sold massively, which caused the price of Bitcoin to fall. If Terra had been backed by Eth, then Ether would have been hit hard and not Bitcoin. So I wouldn't say that Ether is the better investment.

Absolutely, that's what I am thinking, too. Ten Hag's success will depend on how quickly he can rebuild the team. With the current squad, you can't play at the top in the long term. Man United will definitely have to invest a lot of money. It's main problem in recent years has not been the coaches, but the players. But I fear that the squad can't be rebuilt fast enough for the new coach to succeed.

I don't really know the content of the letter or the background of the initiators and their real intentions. I am a strong Bitcoin advocate, but nevertheless there are developments in the USA regarding miners (also in other parts of the world) that I absolutely do not support, such as the fact that the Hardin coal-fired power plant in Montana was supposed to be closed, but is now still being operated because of Bitcoin mining. This is an absolutely alarming development in terms of the environment. If that's part of the content of the letter, I don't think it's a bad thing.

What we are currently seeing with Luna and TerraUSD is not the first time it has happened with algorithm-based stablecoins. Already a few weeks ago something similar happened with Waves and its stablecoin USDN. The parallels are clear. Terra was mainly backed by Luna and Bitcoin, USDN mainly by Waves. I am now convinced that algorithmically based stablecoins backed by crypto are not really stablecoins. They can be stable, but they can also deviate strongly from the original value and travel the whole crypto market into the abyss.

Many, especially the newer, investors are traders rather than ideologically driven long-term hodlers. They sell much faster, but are also ready to get back in at some point, so they see it more as a temporary exit until the panic is over. If you then hold fiat for only two to three months before moving back into bitcoin, then inflation is irrelevant, especially if bitcoin continues to fall. Currently, Bitcoin is losing a lot of value against fiat and is therefore affected by a lot of inflation, more than fiat. I say this as a long-term hodler.

The match is totally open. Team-wise, Leipzig is better. But Freiburg is playing a fantastic season and has a talented team and they have the momentum. Leipzig, on the other hand, was unfortunate to be knocked out of the EL and didn't perform well in the league after that. I would even slightly favor Freiburg.

Mir fällt gerade auf, dass man folgendes anpassen bzw. erst einmal entschärfen sollte:


Nach aktueller Lesart wird die Haltfrist von 10 Jahre nicht kommen. Vielleicht sollte man noch das offizielle Schreiben abwarten, aber das "extrem unwahrscheinlich" würde ich schon mal entfernen.

Soweit ich das immer beobachtet habe war USDN noch nie direkt auf $1 sondern immer mindestens 1-2 Cent darunter. Das Problem haben inzwischen auch andere. TerraUSD steht heute bei $0.91. Bin mal gespannt wie es da weiter geht, da viel davon ja durch BTC gedeckt wird. Selbst Tether und USDC stehen sehr selten genau 1:1 zum USD.

It depends on how long such hype and momentum can be fueled. In the best case, such a thing can last for years. As already written, Doge and Shiba are very good examples. There are also others. In the case of Doge, this trend has been going on for a few years, even though Elon Musk is a strong promoter of it which helps much. With Shiba, it has been going on for a little more than a year now and it still works. From the technological side there are hundreds of better projects out there.

I find such articles and such predictions unserious. I remember well how in 2016 and 2017 during the ICO hype it was predicted that there will be massive growth rates until 2020 and that projects in the future will mainly also set an ICO. Already 2-3 years later, there was hardly anything left to feel. Currently, there are hardly any such ICOs. Previously, the same thing had already happened with so-called colored coins and the same will happen with NFTs.
