With a fee rate at tip of mempools, we will have to wait for about 10 minutes to get a first confirmation. It is an average waiting time but sometimes will be sooner, even few seconds, and sometimes will be more than 10 minutes. Some blocks need much longer time than 10 minutes to be found and even with a fee rate at tip of mempools, we still have to wait more than 10 minutes.

Only possible with non custodial wallets.

With custodial wallets, we rely on the custodian to broadcast our transaction and its fee rate. Non-custodial wallets are good but better if we choose open-source non custodial wallets.

With this big difference, this season in Bundesliga nearly ends early with Bayern Munich. If Leverkusen is unstable like Dortmund last season, Bayern Munich can have chance but the reality is Leverkusen is very stable and strong in this season. It is nearly impossible that Leverkusen will lose 10 points or more in rest matches of Bundesliga.

You can say it with Ballack, Robben too but finally they won titles with their clubs and Robben even won Champions League with Bayern Munich. Kane still have many years to play and if he continues in Bayern Munich, he will have other opportunities to win Bundesliga.

I don't believe in any curse that a player can not win any title.

If you worry about it, take profit gradually to reduce risk of loss when Bitcoin turns to a bear market.

If you bought around bottom and already have like doubling your initial capital, you can take profit 50% of it and get your initial capital. With rest 50%, you can let it run as it is your profit, even Bitcoin turns to a bear market, it is still your profit, just smaller.

Your strategy can be: 50% for taking initial capital, 25% for next take profit, 25% for the last round of take profit.

Because mempools can change quickly, Bitcoin users must use opt-in Replace By Fee RBF for their transactions. If they don't use RBF for initial transaction, they will have to use Child Pay For Parents CPFP later, and it is less convenient than RBF and more expensive than RBF in total transaction fee.

Not all mempools accept full-RBF as it is an alternative for RBF.

Replace by Fee.

Compare PSG with Bayern Munich is not good and I see a better comparison is between PSG and Manchester City. They are both new rich clubs last decade and they both spent a lot of money for transfers recent years. However, their strategies are different and Manchester City changed by signing with Pep Guardiola and adjusted their transfer strategy after that. PSG did not change anything and we can see Manchester City got first success in Champions League last season while PSG are still struggling to have a second Champions League final.

They signed with Enrique with belief that the coach with his experience in Champions League, will be able to help them to win Champions League. This season is last chance for PSG to win Champions League with Mbape in their squad. They player is ready to move to Real Madrid in the summer but PSG actually prepared for it by stop buying super star players but focus more on star players who are young and still ambitious to win titles.

It is unfair to say it to Spalleti, as he is a coach who helped Napoli to win Scudetto after more than three decades. His name is marked in Napoli history as one of  most successful coaches for their club. No party can last forever and he had to leave Napoli but no shame on what he done for them.

He wasted his talent since a transfer from Juventus to Manchester United. His high ego affects his career a lot and in Manchester United, he did not show his best and let his career is affected by many things beyond football.

Pogba now is 30 years old and with the 4-year suspension, his football career as a player ends here. It's hard for a player who is not professional with training to return to football at highest level in Europe at 34-years old. If he returns, I guess a possible destination for him is Saudi Arabia.

These factors are important but even with best players, a club can have bad performances and they even can have it stably during a long season. Last season, Real Madrid had a better squad than Barcelona but they lost La Liga to Barcelona. This season we are witnessing Girona with very limited player resource, worse than Real Madrid and Barcelona, are showing very impressively and challenge a first and second positions.

Years ago, in Premier League there was Leicester City suddenly won the league title against many big clubs. They were similar to Girona in this season but will Girona have a happy ending and be able to lift the trophy, I am not sure.

They will hardly repeat it next season but in this season, they have done great jobs and they don't need to win La Liga to make it as a most successful season in their club history.

Risk is low but it exists and funding fee is another issue.

Additionally it will cost a trader a lot for a position that is opened a long time in Futures trading and Funding rate is not static but it is dynamically changed with demands on the market. When people are bullish, funding rate will become more expensive.

I can not disagree.

With $100, it's hard to increase it too much by investing in Bitcoin. Doubling it is possible but more than x2, I don't know if it is a Bitcoin investment and in only one cycle.

With $100, I would prefer to pick top altcoins of new trends and hold it in this bull run, it can give me x5 x10 and with a bigger capital like $1000, it is better to trading, with Spot, not with Futures or Leverages.

My first time to know this definition about cryptocurrency. Also not all cryptocurrencies are decentralized.

Transactions can be visible, traceable with any public ledger. You don't need to have a decentralized ledger to see transactions and trace them. A public ledger can help you to do so and it can be either centralized or decentralized.

Use case and utility of a cryptocurrency will made up its value. Without good use cases, good utilities, it's hard for that cryptocurrency to gain value.

Who does crypto day trading?

They are two types:
Professional traders who can trade daily and get profit daily. Very scare traders can be professional and get daily profit.
Another type of traders that is most common, greedy traders and they are unprofessional. They want to get daily profit and want to get rich from trading but as described, they are unprofessional and even lack of knowledge, experience so they will end most of days with loss.

Their domination started to be challenged more by competitors in the last season and they nearly lost Bundesliga to Dortmund. They won it very luckily by a late goal from Musiala and with a bad draw from Dortmund in a final match day of 2022- 2023 season.

In this season, the trend continues and it even becomes worse. Bayern Munich are competing with Leverkusen that have better stability than Dortmund in the last season and with eight points more than Bayern Munich, Leverkusen temporarily have very good gap to secure their first position. They have better chance than Dortmund to beat Bayern Munich and win Bundesliga.

They will not lose Bundesliga to Leverkusen but if they have to choose between Bundesliga and Champions League, they will choose Champions League. If they beat Lazio and go to quarter finals, they will not be too far from the final match. They will possibly keep fighting in both competitions as in Champions League, with knock out format, it will be risky to be eliminated. In Bundesliga, it is a long run so Bayern Munich will not give up soon.

These competitors are only away each other 1 point and from Liverpool to Arsenal at the third position, point difference is only two points. This race will continue to be very tight until one or two of competitors will have some bad matches and fall behind other competitors.

With their strength, assume they will win weak and average clubs so their direct matches will be important for the title competition. Manchester City will have two big direct matches with Liverpool and Arsenal. It means both chances and risk, if Manchester City can beat opponents in both matches, they will create a big turning point for Premier League title race. If they fail, they will fail to defend their title.

They are a great combination for Manchester City attacking system to make it more powerful and more dangerous. The returns of both De Bruyne and Haaland are actually showing great impacts on their attacking system recent matches. Haaland looks to need more time to warm up after his injury but it seems the match against Luton Town already triggers his goal scoring instinct.

He broke a Premier League goal scorer record in past season and again made another record for Manchester City in this season. He is young and has a long contract with Manchester City with potential to be expanded more. If Haaland plays in Premier League like 10 seasons, he will make a new all time record for the league, surpassing Alan Shearer.

He decided to leave Manchester City and enjoyed money in Saudi Arabia. With lower level of Saudi Professional League, it's not big problem for Riyad Mahrez to show his ability there. He has better body and fitness than Neymar, less sensitive with injuries so his contributions for his clubs are bigger than what Neymar did for Al Hilal.

9 goals is an amazing stats but I don't know are there any goal from 9 goals from penalties?

Because Al Hilal and Al Nassr are too strong and dominating the Saudi Professional League. To win a league title, a club need more than a single star player and Riyad Mahrez is only an attacking player, not a striker, a goal machine to decide a title race.

Ponzi is a scam scheme that is used by scammers and they don't hesitate to use any available tool to steal money from naive people. They can use religion to run their Ponzi and they do not self-restrict their scams in only investment.

When they use religion as tool for their Ponzi scam, they will not publicly say it is a kind of investment, a Ponzi, but they will give some attractive promise and some sweet words to do their scam plan. There are always naive and greed people who will be scammed not only by Ponzi but by other scam types.

In Ponzi scheme, the creator and early participants, at highest tiers of the pyramid, will gain profit. The lower under the pyramid, people will lose more money than gains.

No Bitcoiner want to centralize a decentralized Bitcoin network.

Dybala scored three goals for Roma and his second goal is a beautiful goal. Three goals from him helped Roma to have three points but this match was not easy for Roma in a first half. Before a first goal, penalty from Dybala, Torino created some opportunities to open the match. After that they equalized the match and Roma only had a better control after the second goal from Dybala.

Their defender made an own goal and gave Torino some hope in last minutes but finally they secured their advantage and won the match.

It's too long time since a last time Dybala scored three goals in a match in Serie A. He is a hero of Roma today.

Themos drafted this idea in Merit & new rank requirements but he states clearly that he does not want to deploy it.


theymos actually stepped in and did some demerit transactions in Bitcointalk merit transaction history.

If you see some bad posts received merit, you can report it to theymos and hopefully demerit transactions will be executed by theymos.

In Saudi Professional League, they will not lose hope if they keep winning because when they complete their task, winning their matches, they simply wait for bad results from Al Hilal. Their hope only will become smaller if they have a draw or defeat and know that they will not be able to reduce gap with Al Hilal and even will face risk of having bigger gap if Al Hilal wins.

In AFC Champions League, they are going to a quarter final round and are continuing their fight to go to a final match and win it. Cristiano Ronaldo will be very happy if he wins AFC Champions League after winning some UEFA Champions League with Manchester United and Real Madrid. He will be a first player can do that in history and it suits with his motivation, chasing records.

The fee with futures trading is very expensive than spot trading and it isn't only risk.

There is another risk that from 1x leverage, it's easily to increase the leverage to higher number and amateur trader will easily lose control on leverages and their greed, fear. From a good beginning, it possibly ends as nightmare with higher leverages and forced liquidations, not only about more expensive fee.

Klopp has a first title in this season with Liverpool for his last season with them. They are going to fight in Premier League and Europa League and are doing well. I hope they will win at least one more title in this season as a celebration for Klopp and a happy goodbye after all best they have together over nearly 10 years.

Van Dijk has yet been back to his best if we consider his performances throughout this season but in a single match, he can have excellent performance like this final match.

Klopp does not only help Liverpool to win this cup but he has also set up a solid foundation for Liverpool in coming years. Some youth players were grown up by Klopp in the last three seasons and they will help the club to save a lot of transfer money and play important role in Liverpool squad in next some seasons. This title is a first one for many young players in Liverpool and it can lit up their career in future as well.
