2261  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 11 years without Satoshi on: December 17, 2021, 08:32:55 AM
I also hope that Satoshi will stay anonymous for good so that bitcoin will stay decentralized the whole time. And i don't think it will make a difference if Satoshi suddenly comes back because i believe people have been used to bitcoin who is not controlled by any entity or group. And in fact, 11 years without Satoshi, bitcoin has become more developed and gets acknowledgement from the crowd. So it has made great achievements even without Satoshi in its side.
If satoshi carefully and successfully did many things to stay anonymous at beginning and early years of Bitcoin development and operation, satoshi would be wisely and carefully enough to maintain it 11 years later.

Only if satoshi proactively wants to reveal real identity, no one can find satoshi in person.

I think even if Satoshi has not come back physically, but secretly he is eyeing bitcoin and the current events happening in bitcoin. But it will do more good if he chose to be anonymous the whole time bitcoin is decentralized because it will only create a huge impact on the market once he decides to show up. And there will be lots of criticisms for Satoshi, but i know for sure we will be more grateful to see him and thank for his invention. That's for bitcoin lovers.
If satoshi comes back, it would be come from due diligent reasons which I can not imagine of at this moment. Do you imagine any possible reason for satoshi to return? I guess no reason for satoshi.

Bitcoin network runs 24/7 without satoshi. Protocol upgrades done successfully without satoshi but with thousands of votes from nodes. Developments of Bitcoin Core done by many top-notch developers without satoshi or satoshi is one of them, just under another name.

Overally, Bitcoin can keep going without satoshi and satoshi can enjoy permanent anonymity.

Guys, there is fantastic game tomorrow between Seville and Atletico de Madrid that may make a huge difference for the general result of La Liga as it is a match between a serious contender and a good team - the type of game that separates the winners from the wannabes. I am well aware that 8 points with Madrid is a massive difference, but there is still plenty of time for Sevilla to show superior resilience and start putting some pressure. A good game to place bets as well to make it interesting.
Sevilla can win against Atletico Madrid but with all my respect, I don't believe even they get 3 points from this match, they will be able to catch Real Madrid then win the title in the end. Real Madrid have better players, more experience and better structure in general to protect what they have achieved so far.

Sevilla can beat Atletico Madrid on table in the end but they won't succeed with this task against Real Madrid.

It's hard to guess they're both good teams. They are in the top five just five points ahead of Sevilla. But in the last two weeks Atletico have been poor. It looks like the injuries of players like Griezmann, Koke, Jose Gimenez, and Savic make Atletico weak. In addition this weekend they have to go to Sevilla and that makes the atmosphere uncomfortable and that's an advantage for Sevilla.
Injuries are too harmful for Atletico Madrid but those cases only make it worse. Even with those players, Atletico Madrid already have bad results in this season. They are protecting their Championship in La Liga and so far they did not show they can complete this task. Now with more injuries on key players, they might fall into another crisis and that can be ending for their championship protection task.

If I have to pick one club can take over a championship from Atletico, I will choose Real Madrid. They are playing good and have experience so they have quite good chance to keep their leading until the end.
2263  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread on: December 17, 2021, 08:15:02 AM
now all the groups in the respective leagues in the 2022/23 uefa nations league have been drawn:
What the hell's going on here? We will have Italy, Germany and England in a same group, I can't believe it.

Italy have some decrease in their form after winning Euro 2020 but their problems mainly come from their ability to score goals is no longer good. They can still control ball, create opportunities but score less goals and they lost points because of this.

It is problems from their strikers and their system still operate well enough. I know Italy don't have so many good strikers after Totti, Del Piero, Inzaghi, Vieri retired. Now they only have Immobile, Berradi and Belotti. None of them are world class strikers.

@LTU_btc I feel sad for Hungary but I also see an opportunity to wager against them in all the matches, because I feel they’ll lose all the matches. Furthermore I’m favouring England to top the group, and I know Germany and Italy are pretty strong teams but yet my money is on England to top the group what are you’ll thoughts.
England seems to be a team with less problems at the moment in this group but it won't start soon. When it starts, Italy and Germany might be in totally different conditions that make them more difficult to be beaten by England. Three teams have almost same quality and their form in a specific match will be key to decide results.
2264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: December 16, 2021, 03:26:02 AM
Arsenal managed to ensure themselves in the top 4 of the Premier League standings in the 17th match last night. Beating West Ham 2-0 in a Premier League clash saw Arsenal enter the top 4 for the first time this season, but it looks like they won't be able to hold out much longer if Manchester United win this weekend vs Brighton.
Arsenal must do their job match by match and should not think of too far or dream a lot. They can do well if they are realistic about what they can do and what they lack of. If they dream a lot and think they can stay solidly at top, they will lose all things they have achieved so far in this season.

Young players can play very emotionally and if they face with bad results, they lose performance in a row and struggle to get it back.

Quote
West Ham have slumped in the last few match and they lost concentration to get maximum point in important match. Indeed I don't expect them to be in the top 4 much longer because other team like Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham are much more likely to end the season in that position. Manchester City, who currently lead the table, do not seem to waste this opportunity, so it is likely that they will continue to maintain a consistent winning streak in the next many match.
West Ham reminds me about Leicester City that got good results in latest seasons but in the end, they lost a position in top 4. West Ham have less experience than Leicester City and I believe they will have less ability to stay at top of table. In a long run and till the end, I think they might have lower position than Arsenal, Tottenham and even Leicester City. It means they might end this season without ticket to Europe next year.

I think one season is enough to gain experience from Messi and Neymar. Mbappe is already an accomplished player, he has already played with all (against all) star players in the world, now he needs to farm statistics and achievements to go down in history (competitors like Haaland are not asleep) and it will be more convenient to do this in Real than in PSG (which is season as if it was in the wrong league and plays with midgets and not serious rivals).
Messi is going to last years of his career and his time in PSG is counting down. He can play well in up to 3 seasons and after that, seriously I don't know how he will play. He can score some important goals and decide matches but his importance for club will decrease dramatically when he is ageing more.

Mbappe is a very lucky player. He is not only talented but also belong to a right generation to take over leading positions from Messi and Ronaldo. Mbappe and Haaland are players for next generation. We mentioned a lot about Bale, Hazaard, Neymar but they are long in period when Messi and Ronaldo were in their best. So chance for Hazaard, Neymar and Bale to take over those two greatest players in last 20 years is very very small. It's impossible mission for them.

If they had played in period without Messi and Ronaldo, I think Bale, Neymar and Hazaard would have won at least one Ballon dOr'
2266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: December 16, 2021, 02:07:27 AM
the current performance of the arsenal is much better than many teams, it's even strange that they are having this good performance even if they still have that flaw of theirs for some time being good and for some time being bad, I hope this time it doesn't happen the same thing that happened last season
Form is temporary but with limited resource and inexperienced players to deal with pressure, I think Arsenal will not be able to maintain their performance in a whole season. I mean they will not be able to participate in and complete this season in top 4 of Premier League. They might need a few more seasons to build up his team, stronger and more experienced.

It's not instant, Arsenal is bad in beginning, yes everyone agrees. All critical for Arteta about how he can't get a win versus a weak team. After the deadline, at least Arsenal won and continue until now. Arsenal also has the advantage doesn't have to play on Europa, they only focus on the Premier league only. that possible in the champion zone league for the next time.
From bad beginning, what they achieve so far is impressive and unexpected. Arteta passed through pressure of sack so well and now he is on a right track in Arsenal. However, it takes more time to verify his work because young coach can be beaten and with lack of experience, they might lose their minds and job anytime. It happens with Lampard, Ole already. A good period is not helpful in long run.
2267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 16, 2021, 02:02:16 AM
Well, according to how you put it, I think that although many do not agree, Dortmund may be the surprise this time, Haaland is a controversial player, all eyes are on him, and there is now much more suspense because it is said that he wants to change league, supposedly to a more competitive league and there is talk about the English League, which is a bomb, since he is a very sought-after player and I don't think he wants to leave Dortmund with a defeat here, I think it's time for him Demonstrate what it is made of and that there is Haaland for a while.
Haaland is very great player especially if we see how young he is. He is young and talented but not only this, he proves that he can face with pressure and expectation very well.

In football, we can see many young players shine but they can not keep it up and under huge pressures from clubs, fan, social media expectation, they fall down and never come back to their best. Haaland not only beats his opponents but also and more impressively beat all pressure, challenge from many sides on him. It is so impressive.

It's understandable to see how ambitious he is as he should be. Young, talented, energetic, ambitious and hard working, all we can see in Haaland. I wish he will get a best and long career without any serious injury.
2268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 16, 2021, 01:58:39 AM
Lazio did play badly in the last 5 matches, dropping a lot of points in the previous few games means Lazio now be in 9th position. And this is of course not a good thing, I agree against Genoa, Lazio should be able to win easily. Because we know Genoa are in the relegation zone and are only able to win once in 17 matches.
Problems of Lazio are they depend to much on Ciro Immobile for goals. He is a good striker and very productive in recent seasons. One of best strikers in Serie A but Immobile is not at same level of Totti, Del Piero, Inzaghi, Vieri in the past. He can score many goals but he can miss so many opportunities.

Lazio will climb up again after they end this mini crisis but Lazio will be like Roma, they won't be able to join top 4 of Serie A in this season. Their resources are very limited and can be broken if some of key players are out of games.
2269  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 90% is already there, only 10% is left on: December 15, 2021, 01:00:17 PM
It is an indisputable fact that only 10% of the max supply remains for mining, but also that this 10% represents a little more than 2 million Bitcoins, and that is still a very large amount that needs to enter circulation. With the price now measured in the tens of thousands of $, and with everything in circulation, it is not difficult to conclude that there is still enough BTC on the market to meet all the current needs of any investor.
Fact is 50% of Bitcoin was mined from 2009 to 2012, 75% till 2016, 87.5% till 2020 and 93.75% till 2024. It means most of Bitcoin was mined and was exchanged at very cheap price. Many of them lost because of cheap price and carelessness.

Because of lost Bitcoin, we have less Bitcoin in real total supply for now and in the end. It's gift for all of us from people who thrown away their Bitcoin.

Quote
Although it is predicted that the last BTC will be mined around the year 2140, around 2030 99% of all coins will be mined, and those 1% (210 000) will remain for the next 100+ years. In less than 10 years, some things will be much clearer - and I hope some of us will be there to witness it.
Sooner or later people will realize how hard they can own 1 Bitcoin. In about 12 more years, 3 more halvings, I think we will see how people knew about Bitcoin in 2020, 2021 but still hesitated to invest in, feel deeply regret about their mistake by ignoring Bitcoin.

I appreciate Bayern Munich's performance in the Stuttgart match a lot. They were absolutely unstoppable and finished their job very successfully by ending Stuttgart by a 5-0 result. When Bayern Munich care about a match too much, we see what happens clearly.  Grin  Bundesliga is like their toy now.
Bundesliga is under domination of Bayern in most of seasons and this one can be another season like that. Bayern can enjoy 6 point difference against competitors. They can expand the difference bigger and bigger and they will be upstoppable beast in Bundesliga again. They had some bad loses in this season but they manage to fix their mistakes while their opponents can not improve themselves to surpass Bayern.

Quote
And Dortmund can be the only team to stop them this season honestly. But even they are struggling these days. Maybe they will defeat Furth very easily but they should maintain a big win streak.
My only hope for Dortmund is because they were out of Champions League and will have to concentrate their energy, resource for Bundesliga. Even they 100% concentrate for Bundesliga, their chance is not too good. 6 point difference for now and Dortmund still rely too much on Haaland who is more vulnerable to injury in this season.

Good points but I feel it is shilled again when Bitcoin has red days.

I mean such information is well-know like halving every 4 years, block reward halves every 4 years, total supply, etc. but people have more attention on such transparent information when either Bitcoin in a superb bullish time or bearish time.

In former one, they rely on information to satisfy their greed and in a latter one, they rely on such information in order to have something to stay. People like that are not good investors and not real holders.

Bayern Munich are maintaining their lead in the standings comfortably by a six-point difference
6 point difference is not much but it is a start of clarification on Bundesliga table. It would bring more pressure on Dortmund and Leverkusen. We know and witness in many seasons that when Bayern stay at top, they will almost not give it up to other clubs. Especially if they manage to have big point difference.

Quote
their next target to destroy is Stuttgart today. Bayern Munich have been winning their away matches against Stuttgart like all the time. This means that they have a very serious psychological superiority against Stuttgart. And this would be a big factor that can help Bayern Munich maintain this great statistics against them. I don't assume Bayern Munich would lose this one.
A win for Bayern, you meant it and I agreed. It is not only about history but also because of not too good performance of Stuggart in this season. They are worse than when they have Mario Gomez and won Bundesliga. It is very long time ago and they has never reached closely to it in last few seasons.
2274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: December 14, 2021, 03:48:19 PM
From now on, Barcelona will need to focus on the La Liga completely. They are out of the Champions League and they will continue on their way in the Europa League now. And their next match there is in two months. There is nothing holding Barcelona back from starting to get positive results in their next La Liga matches. And they must do this to be able to recover easier too. They should guarantee their place in top 4 somehow or we may not even watch them in the Champions League next season unless they win the Europa League title this season.
It's good for Barcelona to stop wasting their limited resources for Champions League but I know they don't want to miss it. Because with Champions League, they will have good income to help resolving part of their financial issues.

Europa League is less competitive and give them less income than Champions League. I believe Barcelona will try to go as far as possible in Europa League mainly because they need as much income as possible. However, with what they have and are performing, they don't have too good chance to win Europa League.
2275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 14, 2021, 03:45:25 PM
But I just still can't accept Messi taking over the penalty kick in the UCL yesterday, even though if it was given to Mbappe I think it would be even better because it was a good chance for Mbappe to score a hat-trick. Yesterday, we knew PSG won against Monaco 2-0 and the first goal was scored from a penalty kick and it was Mbappe who took the shot. I just don't understand why when a player has a great chance to score a hat-trick but doesn't get support from a star player like Messi, I would prefer Messi to support Mbappe as a young potential player and give Mbappe a penalty kick in yesterday's UCL match against Brugge.
Something is very weird with Messi after he moved to PSG. He lost his finishing skill and freekick as well. He missed so many opportunities to score and it's understandable.
It can be psychological problem or a signal of early downside in his career. In the last season, in Barcelona Messi still played very well and scored any goals.

That moment can be explained that Messi want to score goals to release pressure on him. As teammate, Mbappe should help Messi because in the end, titles for PSG are more important than his hattrick or personal awards.

satoshi left our forum and left Bitcoin community eleven years ago. Time passes very fast and after 11 years, I think if we look back at this event and decision of satoshi, it's very good one.

satoshi did it and contributed to make real decentralization for Bitcoin in many terms from development, community, network, coin distribution to legal aspect against governments.

In terms of salary, I think Chelsea have more leeway than Real to keep Rüdiger. But at the end of the day, it might not be a question of money either. For many players it is a dream to play for a team like Real Madrid once in their career. But I think Rüdiger also knows exactly what he has in Chelsea. There he earned himself a standing, which he first has to build up again at Real. It would be bad to throw that away lightly.
Chelsea treated bad with Rudiger and even Tuchel came and used Rudiger more regularly. I don't think Rudiger feel happy in Stamford Bridge. He has been here a few seasons and perhaps he will find another challenge.

If Real Madrid give him a very good offer, I don't think Chelsea will have good chance to convince him and keep him in Stamford Bridge.

Actually, Man City against Leeds is not a big obstacle. I'm sure Man City knows which player will spearhead the execution of the goal to beat Leeds. In terms of statistics, the two matches are much different and will be controlled by Man City from the start of the match in the first half. Leeds will only be an easy target for Man City to maintain the top of the standings which they have achieved again.
On paper, Manchester City are much stronger and can easily win this match without much efforts or difficulty from Leeds United. However, it is football and a game of 22 players. Any mistake by any player can be decisive moment for a match.

Manchester City have all things to win it, on paper but in real match, we have to wait until the end. In addition, Leeds United are energetic team with Bielsa. In the past season, they are one of biggest surprise even they just promoted to Premier League.

With Barcelona getting weaker, the fight for the La Liga trophy will no longer be fun. Of course, Real Madrid really benefits from this, they can freely change players in order to maintain fitness to face other competitions. They can focus on other competitions, like the Champions League and not mess around with the fight for the La Liga title because it is almost certain that they are the winner.
La Liga is always one of 5 biggest leagues in Europe if not want to say they belong to top 3 with La Liga, Premier League and Serie A.

Barcelona are important part of La Liga but there are times Barcelona did not manage to end seasons in top 4 of La Liga. Fortunately, La Liga have other clubs can make it is a very competitive and exciting league. So personally I don't worry too much about La Liga competitiveness even with a recent free fall of Barcelona.

It is rule of life, any club has golden and bad periods and Barcelona now are in their worst period in last 20 years.

AS Roma - Spezia Calcio

it is a good opportunity for mourinho to win the game and be in the same position as juventus, if mourinho could take advantage of winning every game he would be at the top because milan and juventus are weak and it will be a matter of time before they are at the bottom of the table
Roma must win this match because now they are in the eighth position on table. They need to win against Spezia to get a same total point as of Juventus.

Serie A in this season is very similar to Premier League in last season. Rankings on table can be changed very dramatically after one or a few rounds. Napoli looks to dominate Serie A with their impressive win streak but now they are in a fourth position.

Roma has good start too but fall down on table and they must work so hard to compete for a position in top 4.

Welcome to the Biggest crypto forum in the world, NO KYC meaning at all? or in any case of questionable activities you will require the account to fill KYC verification and this will the start of the problem?

we have seen so many gambling sites here that do not require KYC upon account creation and depositing but when withdrawal comes then there the requirements come .
They explained above and they have rules to reduce cheating activities. If they have rules and do it correctly, no user or cheater can complain.

A good casino does not pull a KYC card after a winner gets a big win. They do it only if they detect suspicious activities, not only big win. Additionally, when they do it, they have full proof of suspicious activities so mostly they are right.
