So what will be the difference between a normal crypto exchange like Coinbase and the MasterCard patented fiat/crypto hybrid account? There are financial firms like Revolut that offer crypto and fiat wallets built into a single app so what advantage could the MasterCard service possible have over pre-existing solutions?

Haha hopefully they didn't  This reminds me of how some sports apparel shops in Turin made CR7 Juventus jerseys ahead of time when the deal was still up in the air. I wonder what were they going to do with all these jerseys if Ronaldo hadn't signed up with Juventus  Give them away to fans for free lol?

You can try messaging him on Facebook or Instagram also. I don't know if he has disabled receiving messages from strangers though, but I guess it's worth a try. Additionally you could write a message via the contact form on the Tesla website and hopefully someone from the press staff there will forward your message to Elon Musk. I think he is well aware of Bitcoin already and probably doesn't need any convincing.

A small dealership in the UK selling BMW cars started accepting Bitcoin as payment. It's completely their initiative and probably the people at BMW headquarters don't know about this. And the dealership is using the payment processor BitPay so they are very likely not holding any Bitcoins themselves as it's too much of a liability. Just putting this out here so the readers don't get easily misinformed.

Yes that's true and that's why you shouldn't bet a lot on these unpredictable matches. But you can still have fun with $1 bets, can't you? We are not necessarily chasing profits here. We are just having some fun before the real football starts again in the big leagues. By the way if you bet on the underdogs you could walk away with some nice beer fund money lol. For example Borussia were priced at almost 5.00 odds to beat Liverpool the other day pre-game and they went on to win 3-1 being 1 goal down at half-time. If you had bet Dortmund live you would have gotten like 10 odds or more and that's $10 profit from your $1. That doesn't happen very often in the serious league matches. Just saying 

Payment received, thank you very much! Very fast withdrawal too.

I think he underwent a thorough examination at a Boston hospital and was diagnosed with concussion. This begs the question of why he wasn't substituted during the CL final if he really had a condition. Karius could have informed Klopp he wasn't feeling well or something. I don't know what to believe as this sounds like a very cheap excuse for his blunders.

Have you seen what Karius posted on Instagram after yesterday's match vs Borussia Dortmund?


Obviously the guy is very rattled and can't handle the pressure and the haters in Liverpool any more so maybe the right decision is to move to a new club as fast as possible. Even if Klopp wishes to keep him I think the right thing for both Karius and the club is to let him go somewhere else.

Actually he did concede 3, because the match ended 1-3 for Borussia Dortmund. I couldn't watch it yesterday due to being busy, but I was checking the Flashscore app at half time and Karius was shown as being substituted so I thought he did well. However that must have been an erroneous update by Flashscore. And today when reading the sports news I saw to my great surprise that Karius had made more mistakes in yesterday's match and was solely responsible for the 3rd goal. The fans weren't happy either and Karius had to sent a message to his critics on Instagram. That guy can't catch a break

The starting lineups are available now:

Liverpool: Karius, Clyne, Van Dijk, Matip, Robertson, Lallana, Fabinho, Jones, Camacho, Origi, Markovic
Dortmund: Hitz, Dieckmann, Zagadou, Diallo, Toljan, Sahin, Wolf, Dahoud, Boadu, Sancho, Philipp

Okay so apparently Karius is on for Liverpool tonight haha   I am wondering if he has picked himself up already and how determined he is to show his best again after the blunders. Maybe he won't concede any goals today? Goetze and Reus in the substitutes for Dortmund though. It's not like Dortmund are missing firepower in the match, hmm interesting  

Did you read the Don Balon article by any chance? Reportedly Bayern Munich are willing to pay 12 million euros for Loris Karius and Niko Kovac allegedly approves of the goalkeeper so maybe Karius could reignite his career in Germany? Well he is still an elite league goalkeeper isn't he? I think he would be better off leaving the Premier League for now and getting comfortable again somewhere else. What's a better place than his home country?

What about software wallets? If you have an old notebook collecting dust you could repurpose it and use it as a hack-proof offline wallet. You don't need to splash the cash on these hardware wallets when there are free alternatives like BitKey which is a secure live Linux distro that can run from a USB stick or a CD and provides security similar to hardware wallets. Hardware wallets are more convenient though, because they offer a complete package that needs minimal configuration by the end user and are portable, but they are not the be-all and end-all of crypto wallets.

I don't know what to tell you, mate. I am not very much into politics and I don't know what any of these signs mean or what the geopolitical climate of the Balkans is, but I can say with certainty that there is no place in sport for politics and people should leave their grudges at home.
I don't condone such provocative behavior and I think the Swiss football association should deal with the offenders as they see fit. I am not sure if a player could be banned from playing by FIFA for such an offense though. They could be banished from the national football team.

Well if you ask me there are no shameful jobs and as long as you are earning your wages in an honest and respectable way no one is going to judge you on what you do for a living. So many successful people have started small and have changed a lot of different jobs before they found their true calling in life and became very good in their work. Some have no real university degrees and yet they can be highly valued specialists and get a nice paycheck while other graduates can't hold a position for long because they suck in their field. I think all the fresh graduates should join the workforce as soon as possible and if they want a better position elsewhere later on they could keep searching  for it in the meantime while still getting paid.

It is said in the article that there is no regulatory policy for cryptocurrencies in the Baltic States or it's minimal. Maybe that's why Samsung decided to dabble in crypto as they will probably pay no taxes via the Coppay payment processor who handles their customers' crypto purchases. I am not an expert though so don't quote me on that. Samsung are quite the profit-driven company and it would make sense for them to test the waters in an unregulated market with zero bureaucratic obstacles first.

And we got the first over 2.5 goals match of the tournament yay!  Betting on goals can be very tricky in these tournament games, because the managers are experimenting with the first squad and usually give rarely used players a chance to play so you never know what they will come up with before the kick-off. I couldn't watch the match today and now saw that Buffon started for PSG and was substituted in the 2nd half after Bayern scored the equalizer. Has anyone watched the match? How did Buffon perform? He is one of my favorite goalkeepers 

Tomorrow's game is Liverpool vs Borussia Dortmund. I am not sure what to bet here - the odds for over 2.5 goals are 1.65 while both teams to score is priced at 1.55. I will wait for the starting lineups to be available first before doing anything.

Xherdan Shaqiri and Granit Xhaka are of Albanian descent, but they have chosen to represent the national football team of Switzerland. What they did in that match was very unethical for the Swiss fans who travelled to Russia to support their team. I think the Swiss football association should decide what to do with those 2 and whether or not they should be allowed to play for Switzerland on international level. I wouldn't go as far as to say the gestures ware racist though, nationalist signs of the Albanian flag they are fond of more likely.

Here you go:

I read the whole article and it is a very thrilling piece to say the least. The point where you got into an Uber and sold your phone for a fraction of its initial price was so hardcore haha. I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to collect some additional money for gambling. I would have admitted defeat, called it a night and have gone back to the hotel. I guess sometimes Lady Luck will help you out of a hard situation if you show some reckless perseverance despite the odds 

You are referring to that notorious Switzerland - Serbia match, right? The German referee Felix Brych was sanctioned and excluded from refereeing any more World Cup games by the way. The Serbian football federation made a complaint to FIFA after the match about the controversial penalty.
I don't think the VAR referees can tell the main referee what to do. They can only advise him on the situations, but they can't influence his decision. The main referee could refuse to watch the replays altogether as it happened in a couple of matches in Russia.
