Rumors bouncing here in Italy as Allegri possible new coach of Manchester United.

Such rumors are to be expected considering the current state Manchester United are in at the moment. Allegri is an experienced coach and more importantly, a winner. The club needs that winning mentality and he can infuse that into the team should he be signed.
Maybe the appointment of Ole was a little rushed, but at the moment, they are sticking with him.

I also think that Liverpool will be Champions this year and not commit the same error twice in a row.Last year they were also leading up to six points ahead but they screwed up at some point so the lost the Championship.
I think they will do all they can to not repeat the same during this year.

I would lean on the side of according adulation to the brilliance of Man City rather than the word of Liverpool, if it could be called that. Liverpool maintained consistency for almost the whole of last season, and lost only once. Man City are not replicating their exploits of last season, which Liverpool, are playing at the same level, and look like the much better team.

I think theymos should do something because many old members will come back to the forum to celebrate that anniversary.

I doubt we would have members return simply to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of BT.
Bitcoin Talk has many valuable members who have drifted away from the forum
Follow up is an essential part of entrepreneurship, I don't often in my business, but I don't see how it would be reflected in the forum or also what algorithm would be used to determine the members that were valuable
5084  Other / Meta / Re: Which is the most appropriate format to qoute reply a post? on: October 08, 2019, 05:05:09 PM
Nested quotes are never a good idea, and neither is the reposting of an image, and doing either ( or both ) can mean that your post is ignored by the reader.

This in particular makes any thread look untidy and makes it difficult to read, especially as the user is almost always referring to the most recent text.
I usually quote before writing (as I did in this reply) and only include the portion I am directly addressing. When replying the whole text I usually use an ellipsis

With city you never know what may happen, Wolves have been having their bad run of form lately and City will have a edge over them, I just don't see them being a walkover. I won't trust the over 3.5 goals either, as we all saw what happened in the champions against Dinamo Zagreb.

More often than not you do know what would happen in a Manchester City fixture; they win. They prove to be too strong for majority of their opponents, and Wolves could easily be blown away by the talent on display.
But Wolves were the dark horses of last season, and there is always room for surprises and upsets in the game of football
5086  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can BTC still have any rally before 2020? on: October 04, 2019, 05:55:40 PM
$12,000 is wishful thinking at this point with how moving averages are pointing down and will form a major burden to more short term price growth. Any move above $10,000 will change the market dynamics for the better, and I'm not sure how willing bears are to allow that to happen. They'll prevent that from happening well before bulls start to get excited about a trend reversal.

I personally viewed the drops in price as a major correction rather than a price dump. And I share the opinion that the direction of the market could change very quickly.
A $12k value before the new year may be improbable, and an optimistic approach. But most of the price rallies have caught me and also the 'bears' off guard.
5087  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin gains influenced by Tether? on: October 04, 2019, 05:41:04 PM
Just read the article, and imo it does not contain any concrete fact to back up the speculation that Bitcoin is influenced by the release of Tether coins, it only tells the Hugh percentage of time that it happened, this of course could be a coincidence.
Again there are many factors that affect the price if bitcoins at any particular point in time.

[I think that in that case Liverpool was very lucky and bought the right players.
On the other hand, Manchester United doesn't make any huge buys. They try to build their team on the talents that they have, but something goes wrong on the academy planning maybe.

Your assessment is actually wrong. Except for the 2018/19 season, Manchester United has spent more money than Liverpool on net transfers, and their total spendings (taking players sold into account) over that time amounts to almost €500 million.

The problem with the club still remains the management, which lacks the ability to maintain world class talents, as such; world class, much more improve them.
5089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2019/20 on: October 04, 2019, 08:39:43 AM
So, I will only follow this one to see the final result, I cannot make any prediction here, skipping LaLiga betting today  Cool

Those are really dicey fixtures. I would ba banking on at least three goals to be scored between both the home and away teams.
The Spanish league is quite unpredictable, not only in the battle at the top, but also the battle for a European spot and the battle for survival.

Most enthusiasts are still uncertain about the effect Bakkt, would have on the market, initially and also on the long run. If the timing is right it could ride the waves of a pump and take the value higher.
The Bitcoin halving is also coming up in a couple of months. This would also have an effect on the market value.

You can participate in Maddof schemes for a number of times until you get burnt. This is the equivalent of "im buying the dip because altcoins are low, and altcoins always come back". Eventually, altcoins will not be comming back, and the tide will finally shift towards natural state of things (total BTC domination), then altcoin bagholders will have their last cry on reddit about how they became scammed by this and that token.

Your sentiments obviously lean in favor of bitcoins and it's influence over the market. I for one do not buy altcoins simply because there price is low but rather for the underlying product behind the technology.
Several shitcoins would fizzle out of the market and not return, but also other coins with real value would speculatively, bounce back when the market takes an upward turn.
5092  Economy / Economics / Re: Will 2019 take us to Moon or Mars? on: October 04, 2019, 04:48:54 AM
For bitcoin to attain such peak of $100k, it's gonna take a longer time than expected,  I don't see it reaching $100k by 2020, the market cap of bitcoin and entire crypto market generally will be in $trillion,  perhaps 3-4 years time before it can happen

Perhaps much longer than that. The price of Bitcoin does not just bubble up and reach a certain height. The underlying technology must be able to support the price growth i.e it should have an intrinsic value that is equivalent to the market value. $100k in 3-4 years time is not feasible in my opinion.
5093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: October 04, 2019, 03:45:53 AM
Florentino Perez might be a good business man, but I do not like the way be handles Madrid, just as Woodward manages Manchester United, I think Perez should leave Madrid, he has made them lose some key legends in the worst ways ever and I think that's come back to haunt them.

They have handled some transfers very poorly over the last couple of years, and this may be reflecting on the performances of the team. Most of the players lack loyalty to the club. We saw Bale pass on the complimentary badge (which the captains exchange) when Varane have it to him.

Madrid needs players that want to play for the club. (One) Big name sign-in would not cover up the underlying issue.
5094  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can BTC still have any rally before 2020? on: October 03, 2019, 09:24:22 PM
some still at the conservative position that BTC will hover between $7000 -$10000 maximum before the end of this year.

I share this sentiment about the market right now. Although I think we may not get as low as $7000 and the value might actually surpass $10000, buy I doubt it'd go far beyond that, probably as high as $12k. But we may not see an extended bull run for the rest of the year.
5095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's most important to you in a crypto betting platform? on: October 03, 2019, 08:51:59 PM
In addition to all that have been said already. I always look out for the minimum withdrawal on an exchange, whether cryptocurrency based or not.
I usually do not like visiting sites that set a high withdrawal limit as it compels gamblers to stake their profits to get to that amount if it falls below it. Alternatively they could deposit, but it looks very like a measure to encourage more bets.
5096  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Bitcoin is not a bubble! on: October 03, 2019, 05:35:29 PM
Bitcoin has at different points reached unrealistic and unsustainable prices over the years, and it usually dropped back after a short while to support levels that can be sustained. Some believe the price is tied to cost of mining and other believe it's fully based in demand and supply factors.
This unsustainable peaks could be likened to a price bubble, underlying product has a value which is rising with time.
5097  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: October 03, 2019, 05:24:35 PM
... and in my eye Barcelona midfielders especially bosquets is really slow in making transition from attacking to defending, just look at how many times Barcelona left behind this season?

Busquets has been the holding midfielder for over a decade, also during the two years when Barcelona won trebles (including a sextuple), he's speed or lack of, has not cost the team as much as it has over the past three seasons. There is a general lack of urgency about the game when Barcelona losses possession. This was one of the major strengths of the team during the Guardiola era. High press, from the oppositions box.

Ernesto Valverde plays a more conserved type of football, much doesn't mean a better defense as we (yeah, I'm a fan) still let in lots of goals. Bad for the team, but good for gamblers as you pointed out.

I am not sure that strategies are what can be learned, I think one have to actually personally develop the strategy that one uses to trade which I think only comes after learning so much about trading already.

As a newbie to trading, one would need lots of learning, this involves studying strategies that has worked for others and experimenting on them to find the most suitable one. It's advisable to stick to your strengths, but this is very likely a strategy that has been used by someone else in the same form or modified.

Of course one must first study the fundamentals, and build a strong base on which to diversify your learning. Do not dabble into trading on the back of someone else's success.
5099  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: October 03, 2019, 03:09:22 PM
Regarding defense, I agree that it is important for Barcelona to evaluate what has happened.

The problem in Barcelona's defense does not include the four man wall alone. It is rather a team problem. The midfielders and wing forwards okay very important roles in the defensive shape of any team. Poor trackbacks and closing of spaces down the middle would leave the defense line exposed time and again.

They are likely to concede in any game against a side with a decent attack.

Arsenal London will try to beat belgium Standart, but away team is quite strong in defence now, just two goals missed in 4 last matches. I don`t see a confident victory here from home team.

Arsenal are a very strong side at home. And score freely when in front of their fans. Their defense is still the major problem at the club. In order to boost their season they may need to get new players during the next window or find a way to make the partnership between their two center halves work.
