4701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2019/20 on: January 23, 2020, 05:19:48 AM
Elche 1 - 1 Athletic Bilbao *
UD Ibiza 1 - 2 Barcelona
Badalona 1 - 3 Granada
Girona 0 - 3 Villarreal
Logrones 0 - 1 Valencia
Real Sociedad 2 - 0 RCD Espanyol
Tenerife 2 - 1 Real Valladolid
Unionistas de Salamanca 1 - 3 Real Madrid

Final results from the Cops Del Ray matches played yesterday. Two of the fixtures went into extra time with Granada winning it in the extra 30 and Athletic Bilbao having to play penalty shoot out; emerging 5 - 4 winners.

A double from Antoine Griezmann including a 90th minute goal spared Barcelona blushes as they came from behind to win.

Asides from Liverpool who have been brilliant and Leicester City being the surprise package of the season, the quality of football in the English premier league has been very low this season.
The defending champions have dropped 21 points after the first 24 games. Despite their victory against Norwich, last year's UCL runners up, Tottenham have dropped more points (38) than they have picked up (34).
Other teams in the traditional top six have equally been woeful. Liverpool is heads and shoulders above every other team in the country.
4703  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Poll - How did you find out about Bitcointalk? on: January 22, 2020, 08:52:37 PM
Prior to 2018, I knew nothing about bitcoin or cryptocurrency asides the idea that it could be mined, and also never much attention to it. I got introduced to bitcoin and bitcointalk by an acquaintance/friend, just after the fall of the bull run (hard luck). I had a few stints in a couple of other cryptocurrency websites before settling on BT.
It's been a journey since then and I've introduced a couple of people personally to this forum myself.
4704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: January 22, 2020, 08:32:43 PM
Leicester City are two goals ahead after the first 45 minutes with goals from Barnes and Periera. West Ham is looking to remain deep in the relegation zone after today's fixture except they turn the game around in the second half.
Dele Alli continues his good form under Mourinhkmo as he puts Spurs ahead. And the final tie of the day Manchester United vs Burnley is still at stalemate.

Once a user offering a service or looking to hire one link to an external platform (usually telegram) right from the start, it's an automatic red flag for me. When dealing with forum users I prefer to deal here on the forum and as public as js possible without divulging any personal information.

I guess there are people that will offer this service for free without questioning the notice as long as they get paid. Website owners should regularly audit their websites and upgrade their protection system to avoid getting hacked.
4706  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your opinion on the highest /lowest value of bitcoin in 2020? on: January 22, 2020, 12:36:38 PM
Bitcoin is unlikely to get within the $5k range this year, it in subsequent years years. The lowest value in 2019 was around $3k and we should not be seeing that range again, except there is a massive collapse in the network.
This year could launch us into the next a time high, although I don't think we'll see it this year though, we'll probably see the $15-17k as the all year high for 2020.
4707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: January 22, 2020, 11:59:23 AM
West ham would be tough opposition for Leicester City even though the match would be played at the king Power Stadium. They have two outstanding games on two of the three teams below them and would want to maximise their opportunity to pull clear of the relegation zone. The last of the relegation teams, Norwich City will be visiting Tottenham and this sound be an easy fixture for Spurs.

He most likely could have. Users who take short cuts to profit from cryptocurrency will likely end up losing out in the knowledge and more profitable venture. In this case, there are usually other accounts involved and the effort is probably much more that is reflected in this.

I believe it depends on the user's introduction process. Some people are sold the idea that Bitcointalk is a key to unlocking in-depth knowledge about the technology, some other la are given the idea that it's a get rich quick website. The former usually increase their rank in the forum and can expand their knowledge, the latter will likely be shit posters that will be unable to properly manage their returns (Long term) even in a bull market.
4709  Other / Meta / Re: When will BCT change? on: January 22, 2020, 11:28:52 AM
Just as diversity exists in our communities and circles and we have people at opposite ends of the spectrum, so does it exist in this forum. This forum is a microcosm of the society except it comprises people with a similar interest in bitcoin.
The perceived squabbling will likely never end, you can report posts if they're off-topic, but the forum supports free speech so do not expect posts to get deleted simply because you do me agree with it.
4710  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How can we estimate changes in volitions and value of the prices in exchange on: January 21, 2020, 07:08:15 PM
Governments have set a certain value to their currency so that a buying and selling relation is established, leading to that fiat being used and always running.
AFAIK, governments do not set the value of fiat currencies, but they generate the legal tenders which has to be accepted anywhere it is presented within the country. The economy of the nation determine the value it is traded for in relation with other currencies and this reflects on it's actual value.
4711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 21, 2020, 06:52:28 PM
^ so many top matches to choose from, Juventus wild be keen on winning the cup which they did for so many years, but they face strong oppositions tonight. I'm most looking g forward to the inter - Fiorentina tie. Rotations would also have to be made as the the fixtures start to pile up (particularly for those teams still in the championship league).

Both teams will rest players, that's for sure, so it could be a very unpredictable game, but honestly, you'd be crazy not to add Lazio to your bet slip, they're the best team in Italy right now.
Their odd is very attractive and they have a good chance of winning, I could parley that with wins for Inter Milan and Juventus
4712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: January 21, 2020, 06:39:40 PM
Arteta would be keen not to lose to Frank Lampard's Chelsea for the second time. His tactics are becoming evident but the team is not getting the results to show for it. Chelsea has also been fairly inconsistent throughout the course of the season, but they are in a much better position.
Lots of majestic 7 betters are going with Tammy Abraham to get on the scoresheet, I, however, think arsenal can shut chelsea's attack for the whole of the ninety, I predict a 1 - 0 victory.

This is a peculiar case, asides inquiry of your post, brand new and newbie accounts are not allowed to wear signatures and all (jr members, with zero merits) who were on signatures, had it removed and they were demoted back to newbie rank - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030366.msg45810047#msg45810047
I have no idea why your signature has not been removed and why you cannot edit it.

It could be due to the fact that got were using a newbie signature and only jr member ranked members we're affected by the enhanced restrictions
4714  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 3 smart ways to bet on the upcoming bitcoin halvening with options on: January 20, 2020, 10:25:15 PM
I am not going all into the halvening, it is believed by a majority to have a positive effect on the market, as miners try to come with the halvening of their rewards, the price is expected to increase so that it can remain profitable. This, of course, does not always happen.
I'm buying as I normally would with my budget, Day trading options are always available, but as a longer-term holder, all you have to do is buy and hold. There are many indicators suggesting how to go do this.
4715  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbies, turn on the brain - it's not all true if it's in the forum! on: January 20, 2020, 10:14:35 PM
That'll never happen for posting straightforward junk. Too much work for starters.
I guess it really is too much work, as there is a forum rule against spamming especially when one is wearing a signature.
Staff do not want to hand out bans for unconstructive posts but if we feel that you as a user are continually making very poor or unsubstantial posts due to your paid signature the following bans will be issued:

First offense: 7 days
Second offense: 14 days
Third offense: 30 days
Fourth: Permanent ban
But I can't remember anyone getting banned for this recently. While the ranking system works fine, there are already lots of accounts with merits (bought or airdropped) that are around the forum and sufficient to generate lots of spam to adversely affect the forum.
4716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2019/20 on: January 20, 2020, 10:05:37 PM
The race for the title gets tighter as we approach the pivitotal point of the season. The UEFA Champions league would be resuming soon, and this means tighter fixtures and less time to rest. The league battle would be dependent on how far both teams go in the European competition and which they choose to prioritize.
Most people think the team which drops early has a better chance if succeeding locally, but psychologically, I believe it's the team which goes further which has a better chance.
4717  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: January 20, 2020, 09:58:28 PM
I think we all agree that Firminho's performance is not enough.
Comparing him to the other two forward players makes him seem less effective, but he contributes immensely to the team, both when he scores and then he doesn't. He has also scored some pretty important goals, particularly away from home

He's one of my favorite Liverpool players (I guess there's some personal attachments)
4718  Other / Meta / Re: nolulooow spammer everybody stands up against him on: January 20, 2020, 09:53:16 PM
Actually, I was surprised  why this spammer is still not ban
I checked it's profile and I realized this is biggest spammer
...
So I think to create a post against him to tell the whole board he is doing spamming for long time
Spam in extreme cases is a bannable offence (temporary first with a growing time frame till it's permanent) but users very rarely get banned for it, except when newbie accounts gets nuked.

Creating a post about every serial spanner would lead to span. Reporting to moderators is the best option
4719  Other / Meta / Re: [Discussion] A Bug in Bounty Campaigns – Subconscious Perception on: January 20, 2020, 09:44:31 PM
Avatar only bounties would be a little complicated to manage. As stated, they're not clickable and cannot redirect the user, also the image size is small and cannot give sufficient information asides from the websites name, if it's not self explanatory viewers will not be able to determine it's use at a first glance, and this makes them unlikely to Google search it. People have been known to search up a word or phrase when they know what exactly they're looking for.

4720  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion to change the obsolete social media from account info on: January 19, 2020, 06:21:39 AM
I agree with you. Profile page of users should be kept as simple and clean as possible. It is not good if the forum allows 10-20-50 lines to add external platforms' links. Now we have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Telegram,etc. But the list will become longer.
It's also unlikely that one would want to link their bitcointalk account to their Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. These platforms are not geared towards privacy rather exposure and would compromise a lot of accounts. It's a choice however and some users may want then available, but I don't think it's sufficient incentive tmfir the admins to implement considering the hint at how difficult it is.
