If you have a Bitcoin full node, run it on a first computer and fully complete initial blockchain download, it will not take long time to sync it with the blockchain after that. The initial blockchain download takes most of syncing time, not later block syncing.

With that data on your first computer, or HD, you can copy it to a second computer and run your full node there. It will not take a long time to complete the syncing progress on the second computer.

However, it is different if what you have is a prune node on a first computer.

Bayern Munich have firstly dissapointed everyone in the first leg when they lost 1 nil to Lazio and today is another opportunity for the Bavarians to make it right. We know it's not easy for the Bundesliga giant and they have to be extremely careful because if they're overhyped, they might as well end up losing or knotting a draw tie against Lazio, which mean they've been eliminated from the UEFA Champions League round of 16. However, whatever results that's been generated, I'm certainly cool with it. Lazio coming to Allainz Arena to play defensive game all through because that's their only strategy for winning.
They created good opportunities in that match but by some reasons, unlucky or careless or intentionally efforts of their players to chase a bad result, they wasted all those chances and lost that match. Some matches after that, Tuchel is still in Bayern Munich and he has yet been sacked by the club's board members. It seems Bayern Munich really want to use Tuchel in this whole season or at least wait for result from the second leg match before making a big decision.

If Tuchel can help Bayern Munich to go to quarter finals, they will keep him as their head coach and in fact there is no much time left in this season, Bayern Munich already lose Bundesliga to Leverkusen and they will not fire Tuchel if they fail in Champions League after round of 16 or quarter finals. They will likely wait for the season ending, the summer transfer season before making any chance at the coach position.

The Bitcoin market now is bigger and can absorb sale from US government easily. I have no fear about it and we did knew that the US. Government have plan to do this many months ago. They announced they will do it so this news is only shocking for newbies, not for senior people in this market.

With Bitcoin Spot ETF massive demand on buying, they will buy all sales from US. government without thinking. They will buy almost all bitcoins from OTC market to US. government. They know about the Bitcoin controlled supply and don't want to miss this great opportunity.

Bitcoin Controlled supply.

Are investors investing in Bitcoin at ATH now are fools ?  Is there chance of major correction from here as prices have already peaked now.
At ATH in 2021, if they still hold their bitcoins, they will see it again.

After the halving, months after that event, Bitcoin will have a parabolic growth and 2021 ATH will be a past story. We wil have a new all time high and 2021 ATH buyers will get profit.

If they were panic since 2021, they already shaked their hands and sold their bitcoins. If they still hold coins now, no reason why they feel fool today.

Barcelona got bad news last night after two main players Frankie de Jong and Pedri have out on first half match against Athletic Bilbao after serious injured when potential will absent for the second leg match in Champion League against Napoli. Its very bad news because Barcelona position not comfort yet with the first leg match is draw and I don't think who will be compete for replacing both midfielder crucial position for Barcelona.
Left one week later before facing Napoli but I don't sure between Pedri and Frenkie de Jong will get faster recovery from injury, Xavi Hernandez must looking other alternatives for replacing both of them position and can perform well. Upcoming match in domestic league against Real Sociedad, Xavi must take care their players without injury yet or losing opportunity for defeating Napoli.
This is bad news for Barcelona but is good news for Napoli. The second leg match between them will be hosted by Barcelona at Nou Camp but with good performances of Napoli recent weeks, and they just won over Juventus in Serie A, Barcelona actually have risk to lose at their home stadium.

With a draw in the first leg, Barcelona need to beat Napoli at their home stadium to be named in quarter finals. De Jong and Pedri are very important players for Barcelona and with information from Sportsgambler.com, these players will not be available for a match with Napoli.

This is big loss for Barcelona in this important match while they really need to go farther in Champions League.

If you check well, Real Madrid is managing defenders as two of their defenders David Alaba and Militao are injured, and playing away from home against Valencia has not always been easy for Madrid because they lost to Valencia the last time they visited them.
Absence of these defenders affected Real Madrid in this match but they tried till the last minute to find a winning goal and almost get it without a final whistle from a referee.

Quote
My concern is the title race, because if Girona win their match against Mallorca tomorrow, they will be just four points away from Real Madrid, and now that one of the Real Madrid’s key players Jude Bellingham has been given red card, I think their next match will be another interesting match to watch because Madrid will want to win while Celta will also wants to try their luck to get even a draw in the match.
I really hope that Girona will win their match and reduce difference against Real Madrid to only four points. This, if happens, will make La Liga more exciting and Girona will have better chance to compete for La Liga title when Real Madrid will have less focus on La Liga because of matches in Champions League.

Real Madrid not only lost 2 points in this draw but they also lost Jude Bellingham in next matches by his direct red card. It is not good for them and can cost them more points in next two matches.

209  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to guess or estimate the tx time ? on: March 03, 2024, 02:43:30 AM
If you decide to pay over fees and your transaction includes the next transaction, then on average, it should take 10 minutes to confirm your transaction. We all know the average transaction time for the next block is ten minutes.
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.

Quote
So, though you can get an estimate of transaction fees, transaction duration depends on how congested the network is and how much fee you choose. Many wallets give you the ability to customise transaction fees, and you have to choose the fees accordingly. 
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.
210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 02, 2024, 02:47:05 PM
If you want to reach a difference of 10 points it will be very possible in my opinion to reach Bayern Leverkusen, Munich had a draw yesterday with Freiburg and we are waiting for Leverkusen's match against Koln, which I think it will be easy to beat for Leverkusen at this time, considering Koln itself does not have a good performance.
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.

Quote
I think it's a curse on Harry Kane, why this kind of thing should happen to him, when we know that Kane is a star, but unfortunately his nickname is a star without trophies, we don't see the opportunities that Kane can reach in his history in the big league, I want to know who cursed Kane actually. LOL
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.
211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC profit taking strategies? on: March 02, 2024, 03:53:38 AM
This would work only if Bitcoin price keeps increasing but in case if it suddenly falls or enters into bear market then you will either be selling at loss or your funds will be struck as you cannot withdraw at loss. I would suggest you to wait till the end of this year or till we ride the upcoming bull run and once it crosses ATH then you need to set up a stop loss and hodl so that you can keep increasing stop loss value as long as Bitcoin's price keeps increasing and in worst situation if it fall then you don't lose much as you would sell at SL with sufficient profit.
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.
212  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to guess or estimate the tx time ? on: March 02, 2024, 03:47:29 AM
You can check that on mempool.space (not memepool, by the way) itself, but remember that it's just a rough estimate. Transaction fees themselves are volatile. One minute a high priority transaction only has to pay 15 sat/vB, the next minute it has to pay 35 sat/vB. It is possible that your 10 sat/vB transaction could be lower priority at the moment only to be dropped later on.

Depending on your wallet, the estimated time of confirmation for your transaction is also shown according to how much you pay for the transaction fees. But, again, these estimates aren't accurate.
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.
213  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to guess or estimate the tx time ? on: March 01, 2024, 11:35:49 AM
Some other mempool observer websites.
https://mempool.jhoenicke.de/#BTC,24h,weight
https://mempool.space/
https://mempool.space/graphs/mempool

Estimate waiting time for a transaction to be confirmed is not 100% correct because mempools are dynamic and Bitcoin users can broadcast more new transactions to mempools and affect your estimation.

You can paste your transaction hash here and see Priority of the transaction.

Differences in quality and perspective of club management and applicable rules so as to give birth to a different vision. If I am not mistaken, PSG has just been built more coordinated after they have a new owner and he starts targeting the Champions League as the biggest achievement. In contrast to Bayern Munich and even there they have to make the rules at least German players must be more than outside players. Bayern Munich has become one of the best clubs when playing in the Champions League while the PSG level hasn't to that yet.
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.

Quote
So that the project being worked on by Luis Enrique will be far more difficult where they have to build the squad to be stronger and take time so that PSG is able to compete in the Champion League. If Luis Enrique is able to build the club level to be stronger then I am sure they will achieve success as did Pep Guardiola in Manchester City.
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.

Luciano Spalleti was the background problem that started affecting Napoli’s team, he started using selfish interest in making his selections, the management sacked him and signed the new manager Walter Mazzarr.
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.

Pogba was good at playing football but he has wasted his talent. No more chance for him to join in the football after he will have passed the punishment for his unappreciated act.
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.

Quote
Pogba shall forget football for 4 years. It may still be possible if he will move to the non european competition but let's see what's gonna be his next decision to save his career as a footballer.
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.

If you want to know how consistent a team will be throughout the season, just look at the depth and quality of their bench. It is clear that Real and Barcelona are superior to Girona in this indicator very significantly, so everything is obvious. While Barcelona had problems with injuries, their results were worse, now everything is getting better.
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.

Quote
But Girona now also does not have big problems with injured players, if injuries occur, they are often not significant, but I believe that it is still more difficult for Girona to compete with the giants of La Liga.
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.
217  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Question about futures on: February 29, 2024, 11:04:27 AM
With a 3x leverage your risk of liquidation is low, like someone mentioned above, you would be liquidated somewhere around $40K which is far away.

Your issue will be however the funding rate. Currently it’s expensive to long bitcoin on futures or perps. You are going to lose a lot of money paying the funding alone with the 3x leverage. And if the bull market continues then the fees might get worse and worse.
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.

Quote
My advice is just buy it on spot and sleep well at night .
I can not disagree.

You don't invest in futures but you are trading/gambling there. If I have that 100 euroes, I'll try to grow it even better and test my trading skill patiently. I don't care how long it will be but as long as it's growing, that's what matters for me.

And when everything is fine and grown, what I'd do is I will be putting everything that I have gained into Bitcoin and if possible, I'll take that cash as remembrance and will get out of the market.

Only if I'll be able to grow that.
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.

220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 28, 2024, 02:50:51 AM
For the Bundesliga Bayern Munich were still quite dominant in the previous few seasons, even though they recently lifted the trophy in a difficult way. This season the presence of Leverkusen changed everything and Bayern Munich became the team that was not the favorite for the Bundesliga title. Leverkusen's dominance is still so strong that Xabi Alonso's team is unbeaten and they play much more consistently than Bayern Munich as the king of the Bundesliga.
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.

Quote
Bayern Munich is not much of a favorite right now because of some of the disappointing results they have had in previous matches. Lazio's aggregate is not big and maybe Bayern Munich can make a comeback in the second leg because the match will take place at Bayern Munich's home ground. Now it depends on Tuchel and how they can get a win in the second leg, as people say that Tuchel is not the right coach to handle Bayern Munich now.
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.
