Even if the money is there, I wonder how long it will take for it to return to its rightful owners, and if the situation develops almost like Mt.Gox, some will even forget that they lost anything at all.

That's what I was thinking, everything was almost pre-planned like they couldn't convict SBF and extend the trial to October this year. They are trying to turn things in a completely different direction, and at some point, no one will remember these stories anymore. Time will make everything fade away.

The story of Mt.gox, they also recently continued to delay the payment of their victims until September this year, after many delays, so far, no one has received any compensation. I'm hoping but maybe looking at the reality, but definitely the user refund will never happen.

Not underestimating, but if Sevilla continues like this, I'm not sure they can get out of the Relegation Zone. unless they really try and come up with a nicer change.
Indeed two three seasons ago Sevilla were a pretty good team. But this season they haven't changed much tend to be in decline. Sevilla can always finish in fourth place. They can make it difficult for Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid to compete.
If I look, their main players for the season are gone. Furthermore they can't get a good change. They failed to do transfer management. Isco's arrival also piled up a lot of midfielders.
Lopetegui should have been able to prevent this bad transfer. Or they could start selling excess players in search of replacements for their two departing central defenders Kounde and Diego Carlos.
Maybe that's what they need? I mean it's obvious that they are not doing awesome, it's obvious that we are talking about a bad situation and people might wonder "why would they need to lose?" but the reality is that you can't get better before you hit the bottom. Sevilla may not go down, maybe their bottom was this and they will stay, but they need to have a few bad seasons in their entire history to go back wanting never to be there again.
Every generation all teams has to have like some terrible year, some great teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid wouldn't have bad years like THIS bad, but could be like 4th or 5th once every 20-30 years, and that would be a way to get better.

Sevilla are currently in the 17th position with only three wins and 15 points on the board. I remember that once Sevilla used to be a really good team and they used to consistently stay in the top four in the league if I'm not wrong they won the Europa League twice or three times in a row.

What happened to the team? I think their defense is struggling a lot and maybe the coach needs to bring in some new recruitment in the defending department and maybe get some attackers if possible.
1403  Economy / Speculation / Re: what If Bitcoin Price never comes up on: January 12, 2023, 01:12:50 PM
I'll try to explain it very simply, many have written before me. The price of a Bitcoin depends on the demand. Since there is a limit, which is reached in + 100 years, then the situation is different. Today, there must always be more demand than in comparison to the new created coins and the offered coins. When more people buy Bitcoin, the higher the price rises, because the offer is limited. The same happens when the price falls. The higher the supply and the fewer people who buy it, the price drops.
Current situation still not support yet with Bitcoin and I don't think about supply and demand effective looking for Bitcoin reach higher price later, price not depend on demand on nowadays due many external and internal problem make cryptocurrency on bad situation. Political situation make anything change when Bitcoin at higher price suddenly drop due bigger and most influential country announced or published bad side from Bitcoin.

Not easy to make people buy more Bitcoin nowadays, they want to see regulation from Bitcoin and become securing assets for long term investment without break rule from their country leaving.
Any asset needs supply and demand to grow, and so does bitcoin. I agree that the current bitcoin price is not determined by supply and demand, but it will be a key factor for the sustainable development of bitcoin when bitcoin is globally popular. In my opinion, bitcoin price is still being manipulated and if bitcoin doesn't bounce back, then not only are we leaving the market, but market makers will no longer be profitable. So they will maintain this playing field, so bitcoin's price increase is quite certain.
1404  Economy / Exchanges / Re: FTX Exchange might be brought back online - Would you use it again? on: January 12, 2023, 12:54:34 PM
I agree that funds should be returned to as many people as possible, but I do not agree that FTX should ever start functioning again after everything that happened. Their reputation is completely destroyed and I don't see any good reason for anyone to try to change it.

Although I can agree with @stompix that some people will never learn and that they will always have some kind of sympathy even for the one who more than obviously scam them. Still one's free will to believe in good fairies and elves, just don't whine when the same thing happens to you again.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

I think if it goes back online, it may no longer gain the trust of the old investors who witnessed its demise. But with the way @stompix mentioned and the market is always full of new players, chances are it will continue to be trusted and used. I see people quickly forget, easily ignore everything, and just give them a little profit, they will no longer remember what happened. What I hope after recovering 5 billion, they can refund the victim rather than thinking about going online again.

Milan must fight not to lose in the next match, because currently 7 points from Napoli is a very large number to chase. I don't know if Milan are capable of it, but it looks like Napoli won't be easily expected to lose and drop points in matches against teams weaker than them. Because of this, Juventus, who had been inconsistent before, finally managed to take second place after Milan failed to maintain consistency after the World Cup break.

I think a 7-point margin is too big. Napoli needs to drop points in 3 matches to reduce the gap to 7 points. And with the way Napoli has been performing this season, I don't think they will lose 7 points easily. Napoli is unlikely to drop points against relatively weak teams. Because the performance of Napoli strikers against weak defense is very good. But I wouldn't say that AC Milan and Juventus have no chance of winning the title. Juventus and Milan are likely to win the title if Napoli loses Truck.

It was a very unexpected score for Trabzonspor that they conceded five goals and lost. Congrats to Alanyaspor though, Farioli knew how to play against them. That was a pure shocker for Trabzon, especially more interesting since they conceded same five goals from Antalyaspor in earlier this season. Karagümrük also scored four on them, so Trabzonspor definitely has big problems in defense. They can break out of the game very quickly. Normally you don't expect something like this from title holder. It seems like they have no claim left for this season.

I never imagined that Trabzonspor would be beaten so badly. Trabzonspor is not a weak team. They are quite a strong team. But still, they conceded 5 goals against Alanyaspor. It was a very embarrassing result for Trabzonspor. And Trabzonspor lost in this match and is now the sixth team in the points table. They conceded 25 goals in 17 matches. If Trabzonspor can improve their defense then they will not be able to climb the table this season. I think Trabzonspor's performance is so erratic because of bad defense.

I am agreeing with you what a great performance by Usman khan from the Chattogram Challengers.103 run made from only 58 balls he made 10four and 5 sixes with 177 above is strike rate.
At first seeing Khulna Tigers' batting and Chittagong Challengers' poor bowling performance, I thought Khulna Tigers were going to win today but Chittagong Challengers' Osman Khan and Max O'Dowd proved me wrong.  The great partnership between the two of them will be memorable in this year's BPL.

Not only Usman Khan, another Pakistani player of the Khulna team Azam Khan played well. He scored 109 runs off 58 balls. Azam Khan hit 9 fours and 8 over boundaries. Azam Khan bin Usman Khan's performance impressed everyone today. Although BPL is in question, Pakistani players are performing well. BPL is slowly becoming crowded. Although the number of foreign star players is very few, the performance of the teams is quite good. The matches may become more competitive in the coming days.
But in today's match, I thought Khulna will win. It was their misfortune that they won even after setting a target of 179 runs. The bowlers need to perform better.
1408  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Pure Bitcoin Speculation Dead by 2023? on: January 09, 2023, 09:02:36 AM
Someday bitcoin will actually be used for SoV/payments and not just solely for speculation — but I definitely don't think it's in 2023. If anything, it'll probably take more than a decade.
There won't be any more excitement when that speculative nature isn't there. To tell you the truth what excites the community is the speculation around Bitcoin. Remove speculation from this industry and you will have it muted. Look at how the stablecoins are. There's no excitement there. People want where they will place their money in expectation that it will come out with a better ROI.

Invariably, OP should know that speculation is an ongoing thing in this crypto industry. It can't be dead.

Indeed, it is a fact that many people are looking for ways to hide, if the volatility or speculation of bitcoin disappears, bitcoin will be less attractive, and probably no one will care about anonymity, and decentralization anymore. To be honest, I am here for profit, and I am a speculator, if bitcoin becomes stable and unprofitable, I will leave it and look for a market where profit can be made.

Satoshi's goal indeed is to create bitcoin as a currency, a peer-to-peer payment method without banks or intermediaries, it is really cool but not attractive enough for it to attract everyone. Profit is what we care about.
1409  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should your wife or husband know your seed phrase? on: January 09, 2023, 08:48:50 AM
It is still unthinkable to give a seed phrase to your wife even though she is a person who has pledged allegiance as a life partner in life. What if one day a romantic relationship turns into a mess that eventually leads to divorce.
Instead of giving something as precious as a seed phrase to your wife, it's better to look for other alternatives to be safer.
It's normal for a couple to experience some fights and misunderstandings at some point of their married life but we should try our best to not break the relationship that we build for years most especially if we already have children because this will affect them badly and other than that, we should remember that we already shared our keys to our wife. In case a divorce can happen then your coins will be in danger.

I am sure we don't want that to happen. You can say that we can give other alternatives to our wife. It can be our bank account or the key to our vaults but I think it's hard to keep our cryptos in our own self as wives will try to investigate if what their husbands are doing. They will always found out about your cryptos later on.
There's nothing wrong with that and it's normal. Maintaining a harmonious relationship is a difficult thing but if in living it we are able to maintain two minds in one bond it will be very beautiful and enjoyable.
Regarding home life, I agree with you.

For me, it doesn't matter if what I give to my wife is a crypto key, but I am not willing to give a Bitcoin seed phrase, because crypto is different from Bitcoin.
My mind is very simple to avoid things that I don't want.

This means your marriage is still going well, but you don't fully trust her, and you value your bitcoins more than anything including your wife.
If you're not willing to share seed phrases with your partner, it's like you're suspicious of your wife and are creating a rift in the marriage. If someone asked me if bitcoin is more important or if my wife and children are more important, I would definitely choose family. I don't need to know what bitcoin is, it's just something that can be bought with money, if I lose it, I can buy it back, but if my wife and kids leave me, I can't buy when I'm a billionaire.
1410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 08, 2023, 04:45:36 PM
From the start, Ten Hag did not target any titles this season. he just wants his troops to win game after game. although it had slumped at the start of the season, in fact The Red Devils were able to rank 4th in the Premier League standings. in fact, Man United is almost close to Man City, only 4 points away. the meeting match between Manchester Utd vs Manchester City, can be a place to prove as well as reduce the point difference between these two teams. for sure, Man United is on the right track.
Arsenal, can slip up anytime, City is no exception. because City will be visiting Old Trafford, the headquarters of The Red Devils. I know that City's chances are higher than The Red Devils. however, it is possible that Erik Ten Hag's squad will surprise and overthrow Manchester City in the match later.
I agree with you, for Man United now maybe the result will be a little different from their last game against Man City. Even though the squad they have remains the same, it's just that after the world cup, Man United's players have increased drastically compared to usual. Rashford played freely and was able to cover each others with his partner.
Erik Ten Hag has at least given Man United victory after victory, from his last 5 matches including 2 matches in the FA Cup managed to make a landslide victory. In front of his opponent is Man City, of course it is not an easy task for defenders to guard against Haaland movements.

Manchester United have been playing really well after the World Cup but I have to say that those wins were not against bigger teams. Their next match against Manchester City is going to be the decider of whether the coach is on the right track or not.

As you said Manchester United are currently only four points behind Manchester City so this game is going to work as a six pointer game, if Manchester United managed to win this game that is going to give a really good morale boost to their squad as well as make them the third-placed team in EPL.

A slight overhaul of Lionel Messi's position will make PSG sharper in building attacks, in my opinion placing Lionel Messi slightly below Neymar and Kylian Mbappe will be more optimal in attacking and controlling the game, because Lionel Messi has an advantage in dribbling before giving measurable passes or before scoring
I get where you're coming from but you are wrong. Messi plays his best football from the right wing. He cuts in from the right wing, dribbles and gives a sublime pass or shoots. If they play with that formation you're suggesting against Bayern they'll lose. They need their wings against Bayern. Neymar running at them from the left ad Messi running at them from the right while Mbappe is doing that up front. Besides PSG have a very good midfield now with the inclusion of Fabian Ruiz. He's very technical just like Verratti.
In a team like PSG, Messi should have no business playing as a supporting striker for two reasons, and this is aside the fact that Messi is at his best in the right wing.
1. If you take Messi behind Neymer and Mbappe that means you're playing with two attackers which will make the wing not as effective as it should. This would give the Full backs of the opposing team more freedom to attack
2. If you still want to play with 3 attackers while Messi plays behind them then your midfielders will be down to 2 which is a disadvantage. 

Yes, I agree with you that Lionel Messi plays his best football on the right wing. In the past, he used to play better in the center forward position as the false nine but in recent times he has been playing far better in the right wing as he tends to cut in and make those forward plays. Maybe keeping Kylian Mbappe as the striker and playing Neymar on the left wing and finally Lionel Messi on the right wing it's a perfect play for PSG in my opinion.
1412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 08, 2023, 03:53:27 PM
I remember when barcelona wanna try to sell aubameyang and depay last year but both were abandoning it caused by they wanna stay even longer in barcelona. Aubameyang has been changing his decision about that but depay try to stand with his decision to stay in barcelona and he takes a big risk. Mu already published by daily mail if the club was interesting to sign depay but depay didn't wanna move from barcelona.
I don't think Depay will be suitable to play for Manchester United, so it would be nice if Manchester United looked at other players if they wanted to buy players.
I actually hope that Manchester United can promote their young players instead of buying players from other clubs, which is what they used to do in the past. Or they are looking for younger players that they will coach later to become great players. Because I see that several player transfers carried out by Manchester United lately seem to have failed, not all but most of them don't contribute much to the development of the club. We can see from Garnacho, yes they can bring in a potential player like that.
Manchester United needs a forward and I think it's not right to promote their young players at this time, Manchester United needs a leader or a star label player for their front line to make it better, after failing to get Cody Gakpo now Manchester United is rumored with several other players, one of them is what I think is good for their team, namely Joan Felix.
and for depay, I don't think this player will develop anymore, he tried at Manchester United a few seasons ago, but he failed to show his best performance as well as at Barcelona, this is a player whose career is fading.

Depay is not going to be ideal for Manchester United at all. It will be better for Manchester United to actually play a young player as the main forward instead of playing Memphis Depay. At least the young players will improve.

Manchester United needs to get a good striker. A striker who is almost like a star. I do not know what they are thinking. But I think Victor Osimhen can be a good option for them. I don’t know what is the status of Osimhen's transfer right now. But I want Manchester United to at least try to get him.

It will be easier to sell one of the two bikes and keep one, I don't advise selling the two if you don't have a means of transportation, unless you have other good options, a better life is a wealthy life.
I suggest you re-read what he wrote, he has 2 motorbikes, and he wants to sell a motorbike that he does not use in order to invest in bitcoins. For me, I would fully support him, and if he is able to hold on to bitcoin until the next bull season comes, then he can buy back some of those bike and not just one.

I know that motorbikes and cars value depreciate as time goes by but we have a reason of buying them in the first place, I have a car and I won't dare sell for Bitcoin because I got the car to transport my kids down to school every morning and also for other reasons, it's been very helpful so far.

The choice is yours.

No one is offering advice on the sale of assets that are being used for investment purposes, what we are talking about here is the sale of assets that are unused for investment.
1414  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - what price would you sell? on: January 08, 2023, 01:11:27 PM
I like your long-term plan, but if you accumulate bitcoin as you said, it will take a long time to accumulate enough 1bitcoin as you want. Because over time bitcoin price will go up, and if bitcoin hits $100k, your accumulation will be more difficult. I see some people give a very good suggestion, you can try that, sell your bitcoins during the bull run in 2024-2025 and then wait for the bear cycle to come, when bitcoin drops like what is happening, accumulate from there. With that strategy, I guess you will own more than 1 bitcoin, not 1 bitcoin.
1415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 07, 2023, 06:02:45 PM
Of course, this is no stranger to football fans, the most famous of the Bundes leagues is Bayer Munchen, which has won 6 Champions League titles in history and is third in the standings for the most wins in the Champions League. So it's only natural that the players who play at Bayer Munchen feel proud and show their best performance.
Even so, I don't think I can convince myself that the winner of the Bundesliga will be Bayer Munchen for now because Freiburg and Leipzig have been playing quite well recently and there is still a chance for them to catch up because of the difference in points with Bayer Munchen is not too far.
FC Bayern Munich is one of the role model clubs in world with their professional approach and system which is helping them for having good command on Bundesliga and good results in UEFA Champions League as well they are using their wealth and facility for having world-class players which are giving best results and too many trophies no other club is near them for this all with most chances we will be able to have someone in near future because few are working but it has never been easy to do things like these.
Now in this season, we have few teams which are giving good performance and can create challenge but still Bayern Munich is clearly favourite and having edge in quality and performance which is good for them but now all eyes on first match after break which will give better view about this season's result.

Bayern Munich is being able to perform like this because they have a huge amount of money. A lot more compared to their competitors. But at the same time, I also realize that they’re not getting here by chance. They also got here through hard work. They are winning the Bundesliga title every season. But that’s because they are actually good. And the other teams will also have to go through a lot before they can actually compete at that same level as Bayern Munich. 

This season, at the start, I had a little bit of hope from other teams. Because I saw them performing well. But actually, it was not them performing well, it was Bayern Munich not being able to perform well. And as soon as Bayern Munich started performing well, it was the same old story again.
1416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 07, 2023, 05:30:14 PM
Napoli first play Sampdoria tomorrow, that is the match that may reopen the seria A title race for everyone, if Napoli lose to Sampdoria tomorrow and Ac Milan and Juventus win their own games, then the seria A is already open for all, and by the time they play Juventus on Friday, 13th, they may be in a position of losing their top spot to Ac Milan if they lose. Ac Milan also have a difficult match against As Roma tomorrow, Mourinho wants a champions league position and he will do his best to beat Ac Milan to draw closer to that ambition.
Napoli must win against Sampdoria. If they can not, they will open the Scudetto race for other clubs and will put themselves under more pressure when meeting Juventus in their home stadium.

If Napoli get three points from Sampdoria, they will have a good preparation for Juventus meeting. They will not have to win against Juventus after all because a draw is enough for Napoli to maintain their difference with Juventus. With greed to win in Naples, maybe it can be Achilles of Juventus but to put Juve in that situation, as said three points from Sampdoria is so important.

Napoli lost a match very recently against Inter. That was a performance, that a lot of people did not expect from them. And I believe that is the reason why Napoli is going to be very determined to do well in the next match against Sampdoria. And Juventus should not face any problems trying to beat Sampdoria. I know that they probably do not have too much to worry about. But imagine them not being able to win against Sampdoria and losing against Juventus in the next match, that is going to be a problem.

They still have five points of breathing space. But if they are not careful, they can easily lose their first position. And what I just said, based on the recent performance of Napoli, in previous seasons, is very realistic.

Exactly, if OP weren't the first person to teach him to smoke, then out of curiosity and really wanting to do it, he will smoke in a different way, so OP is not at fault here. OP shouldn't care what drunks and addicts say because their minds aren't clear, and I believe they don't even know what they're talking about until they're sober.

It's fair to say that Trustwallet hasn't had any issues or complaints from users so far, it's still safe, but you shouldn't trust it too much just because it's a company and has 10 million users. You need to know that anything is possible, especially for centralized or closed-source products, it's a lot riskier because we don't know what they will actually do with our assets. Nowadays, most people tend to use open source software rather than closed software because of its transparency. You should learn more about the difference between these two concepts.

We will never see a real competition in the Bundesliga, unless there are clubs willing to spend as much money as you say. If Red Bulls were more generous in their investment, I'm sure the competition we expect will be realized.
Red Bulls ... yes this club could have enough money for special players . but who wants to stay there for a long time ? this is also a problem in the bundesliga.
there are only a few clubs where players feel comfortable for a long time. but i think leipzig is not one of them .
and therefore it will never be a serious competitor to bayern münchen . just like wolfsburg or hoffenheim  Grin

If a player is showing good potential, and if he is being targeted by bigger clubs, then the only logical destination for him in the Bundesliga is going to be Bayern Munich.
Because if he does go to any other club except for Bayern Munich. Why would a player choose the losers when he can be among the winners?

Going to Leipzig when a player does actually have the option to go for Bayern Munich, is absolutely a dumb decision. And I do not think that any player will ever make that decision.

AI coins?
It is the first time I have read about this kind of sub-market in the crypto ecosystem.

Is this supposed to be the new next thing after the fall of the NFT market's volume?
Is it about taking advantage of the popularity of the Artificial intelligence on internet to generate images, text and even voices of famous people?

Also, since crypto is supposed to be about decentralization, how can the development of an AI be decentralized? It can be open source, but I am afraid this could be the beginning of a new wave of shady projects that promise much but do not deliver.    

I haven't heard of projects like this either, but if it's a new trend in the market, it's worth looking into.

Aside from bitcoin, most altcoins are now centralized, so it cannot be said that cryptocurrencies are decentralized, but only bitcoin is decentralized.

If you are here to invest in the technology of the future, I recommend you focus only on bitcoin, as for alt currencies, they are just projects created to make money and then turned into trash, nothing more, nothing less. Don't believe what the altcoin projects say is the new technology, the technology of the future... it's all scam, all they want is our money. Invest in altcoins when you are already profitable so stay away from them, if you don't take profits, they will take your money, that's the law of the market.
