I don't think I will see such dominance of Barcelona against Real Betis. Barcelona is a strong team. But now that they are top of the table. And the title is almost certain for Barcelona. So I thought Barcelona would play defensively and narrowly get a win. But Barcelona dominated from the start of the match. Barcelona players did a great performance. After conceding a goal after only 14 minutes, Betis' players probably lost confidence.
Barcelona are counting down some more matches to lift La Liga trophy as of now they have very big advantage with 11 points more than Real Madrid. La Liga already went to its 32th match day and only 6 matches are remaining. Barcelona will see the trophy if they win their next two or three matches that are possible for them to achieve. Real Madrid might contribute to Barcelona count down too if they won't win their next one to three matches when they will have to focus on Champions League semi finals with Manchester City. Barcelona won 4-0 though. Still, I'd say Barcelona need another experienced striker if they want to win the title next season. If not, it will become more difficult for Barcelona to maintain consistency. In addition, in the next mushroom, Barcelona will have to fight for the Champions League title as well as the La Liga title.
Barcelona won big and Real Betis lost big. This defeat is very bad for Real Betis and their hope to join top four is nearly over. With 9 points less than Real Sociedad, it looks impossible for Real Betis to surpass both Villareal (4 points more than Real Betis) and Real Sociedad to get the fourth position. |

It simply means that more people are using the Bitcoin network — regardless if it's for money transfers, or for Ordinals(but yea the uptick is because of Ordinals). I don't think we can really make price-related decisions/conclusions based off of this.
I believe that it is contributed by the increase of Segwit usage since 2017. Especially since 2021, the Segwit usage has been increasing a lot. Segwit usage chart shows that its adoption and actual usage has good growths after about one or two years. It looks like Segwit usage is breaking its cap and will make a higher area soon. If more people use Segwit for their transactions, Bitcoin blocks will possibly have more total transactions because of its advantage in transaction size. |

I played this slot game when it was first added to one of the casinos and tried to play it because I was tempted by a casino's post on their twitter account how a player managed to get a 5000x multiplier, thinking because this was just added to the casino it would usually give something good, but after more than 100x spins don't produce anything good other than only a small average value, so decide to move to another slot.
Slot games often have attractive graphics and animtions so that gamblers actually enjoy slot games when they are playing. Among many game types, slot games are most addictive but it is easily understandable by its mechanisms. Usually casinos give us free spins to try their slot games which cna be used freely and can help us to understand their games. Free spins are cool if you use them for entertainment. I am notq a pro gambler so I can not say about tips to win with slot games. That is why you will rarely see casinos posting players who can get high multipliers in these slot games, in this slot game maybe you will only get good things if you try it for the first time but then it will be difficult to get profit. Same as slot game in 5 lions mega ways can get high multiplier it is difficult but this player is lucky enough to achieve it 3861.12x https://twitter.com/Duelbits/status/1652336591719866368You can be right but such high-multipler wins are very interesting and is helpful to get more slot game players. In don't think it is true to say casinos cheat their users with different ves between free spins and real deposited money on the same game. Maybe with real money, gamblers play slot games more emotional and less responsible than with free spins like they play with too many rounds (over playing). At Dueltbits, if you play fair and win, they pay you even you win big. It is a legit casino. |

I saw that most of people predicted that if manchester city would be winning the game against real madrid. I have different opinion regarding it. We shouldn't underestimate Real Madrid, who have won the most UCL trophies. Real madrid was a club with full of surprises. The fact that if real madrid has been winning the game so many times in UCL. Real madrid is also having more experience compared with manchester city in term to win the UCL.
Manchester City are like newbie in Champions League whilst Real Madrid are like a senior guy there. Manchester City are strong and can have very excellent form but they don't have a huge successful history like Real Madrid which is important for player confidence at difficult times. With this pride of their successful history as well as their capability, Real Madrid players don't give up till last minutes of any match. This gives them unbelievable strength to make some crazy come backs in the past season as the most recent memory we can have. Haaland has been breaking more and more reacord in EPL with only less than a season I can't deny if that's incredible achievement by him but people shall remember that if real madrid has benzema which has been always playing in the highest level of football as striker.
I think that benzema had more experience compared with haaland. Manchester city and real madrid are a very strong team right now. Real madrid is still making me feel so confidence with it.
If Manchester City have Haaland who just scored his 50th goal in this season, Real Madrid have Benzema who scored less goals than Haaland but he had 4 hat-tricks in less than 10 latest matches. He is ready to make a hat-trick against Manchester City and have another Champions League final with Real Madrid. Haaland is a very good striker but he does not have too wide skill set like Benzema and Haaland must learn more, sharpen his skills more to reach to what Benzema has now. Indeed Manchester City have never won a trophy in the champions league, they have only ever entered the semi-finals and even then in the 2015 season, and today they are dealing with a club that has brought home the champions league trophy 14 times, it will indeed be a fierce match.
Judging by what Manchester City has shown this season, it has performed much better, especially after the emergence of Haaland into their squad
History is important but history is made by people not by the air. Manchester City are improving themselves and maintaining their good performances in Champions League in latest seasons. Sooner or later, with such good performances, they will get enough luckiness to win Champions League. Haaland is like a player who can help Manchester City to perfect their attacking system and can have more options to attack and score goals. With Haaland, Manchester City are more unpredictable in their attacking operations. He can have some more improvements at his age and it will be helpful for Manchester City in Champions League. |

Until recently that I made up my mind to start from the basic I know and use whatever tool at my disposal to improve my knowledge and general conduct here
It is best to start with basics in any field. Because basics are what will follow you forever and if you have holes in basics knowledge and practice, those holes can be deadly ones for you in future, for your capital in Bitcoin investment and your Bitcoint storage practice. If you ignore basics like "Not your keys not your coins" and store your bitcoins in online accounts at centralized platforms, you will lose your coins someday if you are unlucky. Basically, don't try your luck like that whilst you can fully control it with your choice like using non custodial wallets to store your coins. Reminder: do not keep your money in online accountsI am from a region where Bitcoin is legal so I have been more open to bitcoin investment and trading.
You must know that legal regulations can be changed. It can be legal at the moment locally at your region but it can become illegally in future. It is uncertain and if you are careless, you might wake up and see the local authority makes it illegal then seize your coins at a centralized platform. |

Let us continue the fun of monthly price guess. What did you think will be bitcoin highest price in May?
I don't put my capital at risk with my guess, prediction or any uncertain thing. "Sell in May and go away", did you hear about it? If you have Bitcoin, you can hold it and ignore all price movement not only in the new month May 2023 but rest months of this year. Next year, it will have a next block reard halving and you will see a beauty of its parabolic price growth with its next big bull run. I don't see need to put myself into headache situation by guessing, predicting, gambling with leverage and facing with forced liquidations. Let's simply count down time till its next halving with about 362 days more to go. https://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/Halving progress https://buybitcoinworldwide.com/stats/halving-progress/ and comparison of different bull market eras https://buybitcoinworldwide.com/stats/compare-bull-markets/ |

Benzema is unstoppable at 34 years old.. Incredible! This is no longer a productive problem at an age that is no longer young, but he is always there during important matches and I'm sure he will do that later when he faces Man City in the UCL. Moreover, Karim Benzema is now the fourth top scorer in La Liga history. He also scored three hat-tricks in all competitions this season. All three came this month, and the other two were first-half hat-tricks.
It is the fourth hat-trick of Benzema for Real Madrid in last 8 matches. What a goal productive striker! Benzema with this hat-trick, reduced the gap with Lewandowski to only two goals when La Liga has 6 match rounds left. With this form of Benzema and unstable form of Lewandowski after World Cup 2022, Benzema can beat Lewandowski in the last 6 matches and take Pinicchi title for a best scorer in La Liga. One more hat-trick and Benzema can take the lead in this race. This latest hat-trick is a strong warning message of Benzema and Real Madrid to Manchester City before their first semi final in the next two weeks. He will still be one of biggest hopes for Real Madrid in semi-finals. However they just got bad news from an injury on Luka Modric who are facing risk to miss both semi finals. It is impossible for Real Madrid to be considered a bad team in every game they play.
In statistical terms, this season Real Madrid has suffered 6 defeats and 21 wins.
The number of defeats of Barcelona 3 and 25 wins.
Very close distance right?
I want to say Barcelona is better this season in La Liga which started the season full of internal problems.
The problems of Real Madrid in this season is they lost points in some matches with weak teams. It happened more after World Cup 2022 and I guess it caused by their tired players as consequences of that tournament. The biggest contributor for Barcelona success in this season in La Liga is their strong defense which helps them to block opponent attacking and minimize their losses. Barcelona attacking power is not too good in this season as we saw how they struggled in both Champions League then Europa League play-off matches with Manchester United. |

Youth are interested in Bitcoin because it's easy to work with if you understand the ntrigrity also it's a way to make money, over time BTC has risen, and with this, the youth may be interested in a way to do business digitally.
It is attractive to something which can potentially help you to make money but if you only think about it financially like this, you might ignore other more important beauties of it. Like Bitcoin technology which can help us to have our own banks (with our own keys, own coins) and with decentralized network which helps us to have very small risk of reversible transactions. All of those contribute to Bitcoin value and we must aware about it to have solid belief in Bitcoin, maintain our confidence for our Bitcoin investment. If we don't know about those basics, we can panic stop our Bitcoin investment any time. We need to talk more about the benefit of Biticion in other to attract more youth because the majority do not know how this coin works.
It's better if you talk about its strength, potential as well as its disadvantage and current challenges it must go through to have bigger adoption which after all will help it gains higher price. |

I agree with your thoughts on the match. The pace of the match was slow because both teams played without risk but also I think the pace of the match was slowed down by Mourinho's sense of football and tactical ideas. Since Mourinho prefers defensive football, teams playing with Roma often fall into these traps.
That match is more exciting in its second half with more chances for both clubs. AS Roma mostly won it with a goal of Tammy Abraham at the 94th minute but AC Milan successfully equalized it about 2 minutes later. This draw is not helpful for both clubs as they gave Inter Milan and Atalanta chances to reduce gap and Inter Milan can even take over the fourth position if they win against Lazio today. It is certainly not an easy task for Inter Milan as Lazio is a club at the runner up position but they have full reason to try it with their best. In fact, Roma have a great squad of football players. I think Mourinho limits Roma's potential as he prefers defensive football tactics.
They have limited good players and they have to use players they have with very careful plan in order to avoid injuries. Like in the match with AC Milan, Dybala was reserved by Mourinho when he was not fully recovered and Roma needs him for Europa League semi finals two weeks later. |

This has been discussed over and over again in this thread since it was created because of the certainty of his contract at Al Nassr, and also what has been widely reported by online media around the world, but it seems that it is not 100% true after the recent interview from Al Nassr president regarding the presence Ronaldo at his club after being eliminated in the King's Cup. Al-Nassr president slams Cristiano Ronaldo as he regrets signing the Portuguese star
For some reason, criticism that is conveyed publicly will only make things not get better, and this will probably have an even more impact on Al Nassr's appearance, who still need all the wins in the remaining matches this season to keep their chances as league champions, even though that will also depend on the results that Ittihad FC got. Is it possible that we will see a reply to this criticism from Ronaldo? or he will answer by putting in a better performance so that what his club wishes for his presence does come true, although it seems to me that it won't happen this season maybe next season, because at the moment a title for Al Nassr is a bit impossible to achieve because the results are also determined by other teams. I don't think they regret because they signed a contract with Cristiano Ronaldo but the main issue is they agreed to pay him too high salary which is ridiculously high in my opinion. The player actually brought massive effects for Al Nassr in marketing, for the Saudi Professional League and more for Middle East football. However the cost they spent for this deal is too high and maybe it is what they regret. I think if they have chance to revert time and remake the deal, they will still sign with Cristiano but with lower salary offer for him. Is money important for clubs in Saudi Arabia, I don't know. Al Nasr is out of the cup and the president has resigned, so yes, in general we can say that the club has achieved attention and fame.
It's a very strange decision to buy such an old player with such a difficult character, who over the years becomes more and more intolerant of others, does not like to lose and spoils the atmosphere in the team with constant squabbles and selfish actions.
I don't know if accusing the team performance on a single player is right. I know the difference between their positions, chances before and after Cristiano appearance in Al Nassr but will they have at a better position in Saudi Professional League without Ronaldo and the same in some cub competitions? Honestly I believe nobody can say about that. They only look at the past and the present to compare with so many assumptions and likely prejudices that Cristiano Ronaldo is a main problem at any club he plays for at his 38 age. |

Another view for bitcoin distributions. Bitcoin wallet address types and balance Distribution . You can self check it from Top 100 richest Bitcoin addresses by Bitinfocharts.com. With my experience and my mistakes in the past, I really think that it is not matter that how many bitcoins you have now but the matter is whether you will be able to hold those amount of bitcoins next few years (most important) and will be able to increase that amount? If you are able to hold that amount for a few years, 5 years at least, it is very good. It's not a pressure for you to try increasing that amount and at the end, you have less than your initial amount. |

If we talk about that if someone posts too quickly than he might be spamming the forum with low quality posts, it looks reasonable.
Mostly if a poster makes some posts within a short time, it can be spam posts which are more likely low quality. However and fortunately, it is not always true. Another poster can open multiple topic, click on Reply, open multiple reply box and compose his replies. When he finish one post, he can spend sometime to rethink about the idea, while composing other posts. Later he can come back and finalize his replies, click on post to release some posts within few seconds. I don't think with this poster, it should be considered as spam or burst posting. Quality is most important to consider, not how long or short time between your posts. You can wait 2 hours between your 2 posts but they are spam because they are low quality. |

We need to buy when the market is low and sell when the market is going up.
"Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful" Warren Buffet. We all know about that but in practice we don't do that. Most of us do oppositely like part of the crowd and we don't do oppositely to the crowd. Unfortunately we mostly buy at tops, sell at bottoms. https://www.silkinvest.com/content-archive/2018/9/23/be-greedy-when-others-are-fearful Although the problem that is involved is that we might not know what the market is doing and where the market is going. This is why it is good for one to know how to read the market to be able to know when we are going to sell or buy in the market. The Crypto market moves up and down and if we observe well we will see that volatility is something that do make people to be scared of holding because they no not what thw market is warming up to do and the next direction of the market.
You don't have to identify it if you focus on fundamentals and have good belief in Bitcoin. Buy bitcoin, consider it as your long term investment and you can ignore all greed, fear, ups and downs in the market, psychology cycle of the market and simply hold your bitcoins. If you understand it, it is good and a support for your decision but your life and your investment will be more easily if you simply hold your bitcoin. |

This season might be a little different for Real Madrid. because even though they have a stronger mentality, the age of their mainstay players who are no longer young will still affect their own performance and will not be as good as last season.
Real Madrid in some season won Champions League and converted their failed season to a successful one. With them, winning Champions League is so important and likely enough to make a successful season for them. I don't think this philosophy changed because they just won 5 Champions League recent years. Pep Guardiola's team is currently in high motivation. They can't fail to come back this season. Because last season they almost made it to the final. But the last minute of the second leg was truly a tragedy for Man City. And be a miracle for Real Madrid. and actually in the last season Man City always managed to outperform Real madrid. it's just that Man City was off guard at the end of the game at that time. And this time I think Man city will not repeat the same mistake.
Manchester City are a strong team recent years and they have dominated Premier League in the past 10 years as well as are always considered as one of best candidates for Champions League title. It's hard to judge whether Real Madrid are stronger than Manchester City or Manchester City are stronger. They are at same level, high quality and world class level. They belong to very best candidates for the title. Like in the past season, their aggregated result was decided by a few minutes and moments. Manchester City mostly won it convincingly but two late goals of Rodrygo Goes saved Real Madrid. The rest in extra half is nightmare for Manchester City but I don't think Real Madrid were stronger in that match. |

The quality of the players and mentality can be felt in this game. Everyone knows that Arsenal are very superior this season, but their strength has not been able to undermine Man City's dominance. Man City's first goal was absolutely classy. Stones' long ball from behind was picked up and saved well by Haaland, before sending a beautiful cross for De Bruyne. De Bruyne's movement is also extraordinary, none of Arsenal's four players can get in the way.
If this match happens before the latest 3 draws of Arsenal, they can play it better. After getting three disappointed draws and seeing their chance becomes smaller, Arsenal players began the match with not too high confidence. With Manchester City, they are strong and smart enough to beat Arsenal down with their attacking system. Manchester City are like Liverpool, and they both can make their opponents collapse within a few minutes. Arsenal's next away game awaits Newcastle United at St. James' Park who is also on fire. By previously undergoing the London Derby at the Emirates against Chelsea. If in these two matches Arsenal fail to win, you can be sure that the championship chances have run out.
One more defeat against Newcastle United, Arsenal will officially say goodbye to Premier League title. Their chance is very small now but if they lose more, they will finalize that fact. Chelsea did not have improvement with their temporary coach, Frank Lampard and if they meet Arsenal in this condition, after losing 5 matches with Lampard, I don't believe they will be able to beat Arsenal. Congratulations to Manchester city for the beautiful victory they got from Arsenal to alert other teams that they are very close to take over that premier league position from Arsenal
Only a win is enough for Manchester City but this big win means more. It breaks down Arsenal confidence and tears Arsenal apart with very bad psychology after the match. I really believe that with opposite psychological status after this match, Manchester City will go straight toward the title but Arsenal can have more decreasing performances in remaining matches. |

Anyone heard this news? What's your take on this? It's this the beginning of the downfall of the NFT market or can we say that it will still survived till the next bull run?
The NFT technology is here and will be here. The NFT marketplaces not only OpenSea will be here, will exist with us. However, weak NFT projects, weak NFT marketplaces will be killed by the market, cryptocurrency community selection naturally. Only strong projects and strong NFT marketplaces will survive through bear market, crisis and can develop more. For me though, I'm not surprised, we are still the bear market, although it seems that majority of the coins are bouncing back, I still one big reason for the sudden downfall of the NFT market is the obvious bearish trend.
And that's how the market works as we all know it, sooner or later the hype will die down a bit, like the P2E model. So we will see if NFT can live or continue to exists till the next bull run. It will be the ultimate test for this market, in my opinion.
I believe NFT technology is a branch of blockchain technology like Proof of Work, Smart contracts and they will be here. Like many people accused Ethereum as a scam altcoin and their blockchain, technology, ERC-20 are paradise for smaller scam altcoins. I agree to disagree, Ethereum is not scam and you can not blame on its smart contracts as other developers from scam altcoin projects use their ERC-20 chain and Ethereum smart contracts to scam investors. Do we blame Alfred Nobel because Putin decided to send his army to invade Ukraine? It is not a right accusation. |

I also encounter such problem, electrum not launching even though it is on the task manage. I often rightclick electrum on the task manager and end process it then relaunch the electrum. Mostly it works that way. If it is persistent, I restart the PC and relaunch the electrum and it also solve the problem.
The reason behind the electrum not launching is possibly there is a glitch that make the interface of the electrum not appear. It is also possible that there is conflict on the use of resources reason why the application just get listed on the task manager and yet the UI doesn't appear.
Sometimes you can not find Electrum wallet when you click on Start menu of Windows and Type Electrum. Restart your computer and repeat it, if it does not succeed, you can do following steps. Find the wallet directory location: https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#where-is-the-electrum-datadir-locatedWhere is the Electrum datadir located?
The data directory of Electrum is where wallet files, config settings, logs, blockchain headers, etc are stored.
On Windows:
Show hidden files
Go to \Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Electrum (or %APPDATA%\Electrum)
On Mac:
Open Finder
Go to folder (shift+cmd+G) and type ~/.electrum
On Linux:
Home Folder
Go -> Location and type ~/.electrum
Where is my wallet file located?
The default wallet file is called default_wallet, which is created when you first run the application and is located in the /wallets folder, inside the datadir.
Copy and paste your wallet file to your desktop or better your D disk as your backup. Even if you have the wallet seed backup, I still recommend you to copy and paste that wallet file. Next, you uninstall Electrum wallet software, and reinstall it. If the new installed wallet software opens smoothly, you can copy and paste your wallet file to that directory location again, and use it. Or you can recover it from your wallet seed. |

Binance and not only them but also other exchanges can move from one nation to another and other nations. Citizens in one country can use many exchanges, from local to global brands. Years ago, China policies forced some cryptocurrency exchanges moved their head quarters from China mainland to other countries. The USA., Russia and other countries can contribute the same stories at different times. I think if you are in this market a few years, you will see they are not real reasons for Bitcoin pumps and more important Bitcoin growth. The growth is come from its technology, design and its sharply increasing adoption growth. China, the USA., Russia and other countries are contributors to make a snowball effect for Bitcoin. |
