+ People's review on the token.
You will read many positive reviews and your mind will be affected. It's good if you read many negative reviews on a token and stay away from it but in a bull run, it is not common review you will see.

Quote
+ The team (especially their previous work)
I agree.

Quote
+ How realistic is the white paper, usecase.
White papers usually are full of promises and polished roadmap points which can be failed to achieve in future.

Quote
+ Which network does the token run on
Projects can move from one chain to another chain, to join a chain trend but it does not make a bad project becoming a good project.

+ How long is taking for the presale to end and it to launch.

Bitcoin is your best choice.

First, Bitcoin blockchain is decentralized, the project is decentralized and no risk of blockchain rollback. If you pick Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain and other altcoin blockchains, let's Google and learn about their Ethereum blockchain roll back after The DAO hack, BSC halts some times because of hacks and more.

Second, with altcoins include stable coins, you can lose your fund if altcoin developers freeze your fund and even can burn it.
143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: March 25, 2024, 08:40:42 AM
The Europa League remains the most unpredictable tournament, and if we started talking about Benfica and Marseille, then this is also an unpredictable pair for me.
Football is unpredictable in any match even between a strong and a weak team. There is always opportunity for surprised result from a weaker team.

Prediction on a tournament with participation of many clubs, is harder and more unpredictable. Gamblers can reference data and make predictions, then bets, but  no 100% win rates for them.

Benfica and Marseilles are equal in quality and their matches in quarter final are hard to predict result accurately.

Benfica on the other had has been fair in their performance in their domestic league and has not been doing poorly although they are average but they are more consistent than Marseille has been this season even in the Europa league games so far they have been much better than Marseille has been but Marseille has been fortunate enough to get to this stage and this may be the end of their journey.
Ligue 1 is still a bigger league than Portuguese League but Benfica are one of two strongest clubs from Portugal, another club is Porto. They are very experienced with tournaments in Europe from Champions League to Europa League.

With their experience, they will not be much weaker than Marseille in quarter final. Benfica have good players too and they are well-known as a transitional club for youth players before they matured enough and can move to biggest clubs in Europe.

Yep, it was an animation overlay, as can be seen in this footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh6zDgGzg6k
Honestly, I wouldn't have noticed this overlay if I hadn't read this thread... Since our focus was on the match, we didn't spot this trick!
Anyway, it is surely one of the proofs that BK8 is the biggest in Asia Grin
I don't know BK8 is a biggest gambling company in Asia but they have many brand ambassadors around the world. A first name I can remember is Van Persie and he is a Dutch player, so it is advertisement of BK8 in Europe, not in Asia.

In many posts and discussions months ago, BK8 has some localized domain names for local users and some posters gave information that the company has many local domains for Asian customers.

Information in OP is Van Persie is not their first brand ambassador but the first person who took that responsibility is Johh Terry.
146  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Satoshi Nakamoto remaining anonymous is good for Bitcoin! on: March 25, 2024, 02:17:35 AM
Even outside regulatory issues, Satoshi is better off anonymous because of political and idealistic reasons. Imagine if Satoshi was a Trump supporter — die-hard Biden fans would hate him, and vice versa. Same thing with the leftist and rightist movements.
It can be bad in politics but if it relates to financial benefit, I really believe that even die-hard Biden fans or die-hard Trump fans will still invest in Bitcoin if they see ROI history of Bitcoin and opportunities to enrich their finance by investment in Bitcoin.

In politics, they can disagree and hate Satoshi Nakamoto but in finance, they will stick with Bitcoin. Believe me, when it comes to money, it has some unrejectable reasons to break own logical thinking and chase profit, benefit.

Are politicians themselves very flexible with their words of mouth? We can call them as liars if we want and it is not wrong.

VPN should not trigger as a way of cheating, they should simply put in the TOS that using a VPN is prohibited. What's the business of the casino for knowing where we are gambling, I'm sure they are also doing some security measures for their website, and for us gamblers, we value our privacy so we choose to use VPN during our session, but it was not intented to defraud the casino.

Everyone should look on the TOS, it should be specific, otherwise, it will create confusion which in the end not good for a casino as peopel would symphatize on their fellow gamblers.
VPN can be a first trigger of a platform to investigate more about suspicious accounts but I agree with you that VPN is not a main cause why one account is accused by any platform as cheater.

If a platform makes such accusation, they surely have more evidence about that account activities and links with other accounts too like betting style, time of bets, favorite tournaments and more.

VPN can be a trigger, one of causes but not only or the main reason.

A new talented youth player from Brazil, Endrick, who will move to Real Madrid in the summer, just scored his first goal for Brazil national team in a match with England at Wembley stadium.

With Endrick, Real Madrid have another player from Brazil to build up their Galaticos 3.0 and they even started it seasons ago with Vini Jr. and Rodrygo. Two years since World Cup 2022, Endrick has more time to grow up and sharpen his skills in Brazil and now it's time for him to debut his career in Europe with Real Madrid.

With his height, Endrick will not likely suited at the striker position and he will have to player like a forward or at swings like Rodrygo and Vini. Jr. With a transfer of Mbappe from PSG, according to rumor, Endrick will not be given a position in Real Madrid squad immediately after moving there.

The player again shows recent problem in Brazil, they don't lack of midfielders and attacking players but no longer grow up good strikers recent years. In Premier League, they have G. Jesus and Martinelli but they are not classic strikers too.

I wouldn't have said this but I am much more concerned about the fact that we have been hearing so many people talking about holding Bitcoin for the long term and never selling.
If you don't have a business that can bring positive net income to you, you will have to sell your bitcoin to take profit, get cash to use. Never selling is only for people who are rich, have abundant budget and even extra capital for further investment in future like MicroStrategy.

As a retail investor, you will have to take profit but there are many ways to take profit. All at one sell order and exit the market.

You can take profit gradually but make sure always have bitcoin in your portfolio like this strategy from JayJuanGee.

Bitcoin: A Trojan Horse for CBDCs

Lynette Zang, Founder & CEO of Zang Enterprises thinks Bitcoin is the Trojan Horse and said that it wasn't a coincidence that it came out in January of 2009 when QE started in March. And because of the timing of when it came out which was after the 2008 financial crisis, she suspects the NSA has something to do with this.
their conversation led Michelle Makori to be neutral in her view but would like to present a panel to debate with Zang about this.
NSA did it for what?

Honestly if the USA. had problems with their economics, why did NSA need to step in and create Bitcoin in 2009?

I don't find any logic here and why NSA had to do this. I believe that Bitcoin is a natural improvement in cryptography developments and before Bitcoin, there were some other digital currencies but they did not get success like Bitcoin.

Satoshi Nakamoto tried to code and build up Bitcoin, and decided to launch it at the right time, global financial crisis in 2008.

For me, it's normal to notice some issues with Bitcoin because if you are actively using the Bitcoin network, especially in your daily lives, you will notice some things that are bothering you.
But to answer this specific question, we already have solutions for these kinds of problems nowadays. And for me, noticing this kind of problem is challenging because it will help for Bitcoin or other projects that can help Bitcoin to grow and improve.
Nothing is perfect and Bitcoin blockchain is not perfect.

The strength of Bitcoin network is from its decentralization with highest network hash rate, many full nodes and also from the disappearance of the founder, Satoshi Nakamoto.

There is no Halt button on Bitcoin blockchain like Binance Smart Chain and many altcoin smart contract blockchain.

If people are looking for a safest blockchain, it's Bitcoin blockchain.

If they want to have cheaper transaction fees, they can use altcoin blockchain but with higher risk of network attacks.

In last five matches, Barcelona have best performances amongst clubs in top four of La Liga. This good form recently helps Barcelona to jump to the second position and take it over from Girona.

Quote
Personally I don't think it's possible for Girona to finish second in the table. And if Girona can't improve their performance, it's challenging for the team to qualify for the Champions League.
In the last few matches we have seen the performance of Girona very erratic and unstable. This team failed to play consistently well. The team's performance in both defense and attack has been erratic. And that's why I think Girona's performance is very unlikely to stabilize again this season.
I agree with you. Girona surprisingly managed to maintain their good form even after the first half of season but last month, their performances dropped a lot. Hence they dropped many points and it together with good form from Barcelona, costs them a second position. With Girona, it's not strange if they will fail to reclaim their best performances in last matches of La Liga. They will nearly not able to get a second position back and a more realistic target and task of Girona, is secure their third and even fourth position when La Liga ends.
153  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple Is biggest Enemy of Bitcoin on: March 23, 2024, 03:39:32 AM
Nobody cares about what Ripple says. It's a centralized "shitcoin" anyways. Between Ripple (XRP) and banks, there are no differences. They're practically the same. Bitcoin is the one that will render these entities obsolete if it continues to rise all the way to glory. Some countries have even gone as far as adopting BTC as legal tender, so there's a high chance it will be used on top of Fiat in the future.
I am not Ripple fan and enthusiast so I see them like this.

They are pioneer to fight against SEC and actually won against SEC. It is one of very first foundation for blockchain and cryptocurrency industry to more seriously stand up and fight against over power use of SEC recent years. With this point of view, Ripple should be given a round of applause.

A second view of mine, is Ripple is centralized and they are not different than banks or in future CBDCs technically. However it is commonly seen with many altcoins, not only Ripple. I don't say Ripple is good in decentralization but if saying Ripple is the enemy of this industry, I really disagree. There are many altcoins like Ripple and people attack Ripple perhaps because it is one of top altcoins.

@JayJuanGee. It makes appear that the Ethereum promotions and marketing propaganda is very successful if they can make people think that every fee relating to the cryptospace can be called a gas fee hehehehe.
Gas fee is for EVM blockchains and it does not apply for Bitcoin blockchain and even Bitcoin forks Proof of Work.

Recent weeks, I saw many posts on X platform with Ethereum Gas Fee Refund. Misleading scam posts like "I receive $x,xxx of gas fee refund from Ethereum" is very annoying.

I reported many posts in X Ads but X platform and their staffs didn't do anything to stop those scam Ads.

Lewandowski is not a bad player, and Barcelona's desire to get rid of him this summer begs the question of who they have on the list or want to sign to replace him in the striking role. Atletico Madrid's acquisition of Lewandowski will benefit them in both the La Liga and the Champions League, as the player, despite being in his 30s, is still performing well and can do wonders for his team. If Barcelona loses him this summer, which I doubt, Atletico Madrid can add him to their squad, strengthen their forward position, and be ready for a better chance to win a trophy sooner.
Lewandowski is one of best strikers in last 20 years and he was disappointed that Bayern Munich didn't give him a long contract so he decided to leave and move to Barcelona after his contract with Bayern Munich expired.

In his first season for Barcelona, he helped them to win La Liga and won the Best Scorer Award too. His contribution for Barcelona last season is amazing but he is already old and Barcelona actually aware that at his age, his contributions can suddenly drop a lot.

This season is going like this, he is older, get more injuries and has less appearances and contributions for Barcelona. With 13 goals scored for Barcelona in La Liga so far, it's not too bad stats from Lewandowski and he is only 3 goals less than Jude Bellingham. Lewandowski is able to score 2 or 3 goals in a single match and he can catch Jude anytime.

And sometimes there are even more surprises in the quarter-finals. Because actually almost all matches are very difficult for us to predict now. Even if it is a match between clubs who are favorites or not. Because Inter Milan could lose surprisingly in the round of 16.
Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are at same level in quality but Inter Milan played better in both matches. The surprise is they failed to convert their better performances to final win in aggregated result. It is their failure and at Champions League level, in knock out matches, when their players wasted not only one but many opportunities, they deserved to lose that match.

Quote
Last season, many people didn't expect Inter Milan to go further, but they were able to go further. And this season the opposite happened, that is, many thought that Inter Milan would be able to go further, but in reality they even had to be eliminated early, namely in the round of 16.
The last season, Inter Milan were not considered too high but they went to the final match and even challenged Manchester City seriously in that final. This season is different, as Inter Milan shown their improvement and it's nothing wrong to say they become stronger in this season, in both Serie A and Champions League.

Being a stronger team than themselves one season ago but losing earlier, is not a comfortable result for Inter Milan. They will come back next season with ambitious target to go farther than round of 16.

these are the safest wallets you can choose to hodl your coin for privacy purpose.

Samourai Wallet
Bitcoin Core

Bluewallet
Your privacy with Bitcoin use depends on your practice with UTXOs, for inputs and outputs and how you connect your wallet to servers, nodes to broadcast your Bitcoin transactions.

Wallets that are non custodial, give you coin control (control on UTXOs) will give you better privacy and anonymity if you can connect to Tor for transaction broadcast.

I think I disagree with you a little bit here. To hold your bitcoins, you don't have big problem with privacy. Problem only occurs when you need to move your bitcoins from your wallet, then it is turn of coin control feature and good wallet software can help you.

I have been testing indicators and strategies for a while trying to come up with profitable ways to trade. But I cant seen to beat a winning rate of about 50% on a 1:1 risk reward.
Winning rate is 50% and risk reward ratio for your entry consideration is 1:1, it is bad for success rate and in risk management it is bad, very risky too.

To manage risk better, the ratio of risk: reward should be 1:3. If you see from your entry to cut loss price, and from entry to take profit price is less than 1: 3, don't open any position from that entry.

Risk to lose your money, even by cut loss, is bigger than chance to get profit.
159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: March 20, 2024, 03:45:54 AM
And sometimes one thing we have to remember in the quarter-finals is that there are always more surprises and the outcome of the match will be more difficult to predict. Because yes, I also agree that those who can get to this stage are those who are the best team, both in terms of performance, mentality or in terms of luck.
Coming to quarter finals, there is no weak team and competitiveness level in quarter final matches is very high. One moment can change eventual result of a quarter final pair a lot and we already witnessed what happened in the pair Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid.

Inter Milan nearly nailed the pair as a winning for them by scoring a goal in the second leg and expanded difference in aggregated result to 2 - 0, but Atletico Madrid scored an equalizer to keep up their hope. Even so, after that Inter Milan had a few chances to score a winning goal but their players wasted those opportunities. We knew what happened after all, Inter Milan lost.

Quote
But of all the matches, the Man City vs Real Madrid match is actually the most interesting and gets the most attention. And actually this match is also the most difficult match to predict. Last season Man City beat Real Madrid with a large aggregate. But in the current season we don't know whether Man City will be able to do the same thing or not. Or Real Madrid will take revenge and make Man City lose surprisingly. Well, everything is still difficult to predict even though I actually already have the teams that I will favourite.
Two matches between Manchester City and Real Madrid will be most exciting in quarter finals. Manchester City are the current champion and defend their title this season. Real Madrid are the all time most successful club in Champions League. We will have two big matches between two giants in Europe and it's like an early final match in Champions League.

Till their quarter final meetings, there will be changes in their player resources like injuries, and I will wait till their available player resources before a first leg match to see chance of each team.
160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: March 20, 2024, 03:35:56 AM
Here Al Hilal statistic performance season 2023/24 in domestic league, won 22 of 24 games and keep unbeaten record become most fantastic achieved with their performance behind become the most productivities teams by scoring 72 goals and conceded 13 goals. Based on how many matches played by Al Hilal this season they can scored 3 goals every games and its the great achieved than Al Nassr on 2nd standings  scored 66 goals and conceded 33 goals of 24 matches.
Next match, Al Hilal have away match against Al Shabab as the middle teams standings position and not problem keep continue to secure three points, I believe Al Hilal will make invisible record as the team without loss one season and success become the saudi pro league winner for this season.


12 points in difference between Al Hilal and Al Nassr and it will be more impressive if we look at their total conceded goals. Al Hilal after 24 matches so far, got only 13 conceded goals whilst Al Nassr got 33 conceded goals. Having 20 more conceded goals, is a big minus of Al Nassr in their competition against Al Hilal. this stats about defensive power of two clubs shows why Al Hilal takes the first position and even create a big gap against Al Nassr.

They also have better attacking power than Al Nassr even difference between them in attacking power is not as big as difference in defensive power.

Still no lose for al hilal. Im sure that this club can keep its performance to recording a new record as a team that will face lose till the end of season. This will be also becoming a new record in SPL as a most perfect team in the saudi pro league.
They actually dominate Saudi Professional League this season and beating both Al Nassr and Al Ittihad to win the title is very impressive achievement from Al Hilal. All three clubs have spent big budget for transfer market to buy star players from Europe last one year and a half but Al Hilal get more success than two competitors.

Quote
Mitrovic is ready in showing his amazing performance this season. Al hilal's scouting team was the best.
Mitrovis surprisingly played very well in this season and he is important for Al Hilal attacking system. He can not take over a first position in Saudi Professional League Best Scorer list from Cristiano Ronaldo but he surely will win the league title with his club.
