Yes and also, if Ronaldo in this World Cup can make a big contribution to bring Portugal to the final then I'm still pretty sure Ronaldo will be recruited by a big club who is also competing in the top four. But unfortunately, I don't think Ronaldo's performance has made significant progress, so I doubt Ronaldo will be recruited by the big club as expected.
But regarding Chelsea being interested in Ronaldo, I think that is also true news, but unfortunately, at that time Tuchel refused, even though recruiting Ronaldo was the wish of Todd Boehly himself.
World Cup 2022 only reveals more truth about Ronaldo problems which are actually his body, strength and mindset. He must recognize that he is old enough and can not beat time and ageing.

Therefore, if he want to continue his career, he must make big adaptation, changing his style and even position. He also must accept that he will no longer be a first choice of coaches and less likely be used in a full match. Ronaldo is still useful but must be used differently than one or two seasons ago. Additionally, he should feel happy if his career continues and he still can have chance to play for big clubs and win titles with them.

Stablecoin is stablecoin. They are all centralized and being controlled, so this is the issue here, it's not decentralized so expect that there will be always a downside to it. Before there is some issue about Tether (USDT) that it's not 100% fully backed by fiat USD 1:1, I'm not sure if this is true or not but if that was true, it's very scary, that stablecoin could collapse in just any second, best example is UST, hours/days only became worthless.
We don't know how companies which launch stable coins back their coins with fiat currency at 1:1 ratio or less. They have reports but we can not believe those reports blindly.

I would like to cash out my Bitcoin or altcoins to have fiat currencies, USD. When I need to buy bitcoin or altcoins again, I use USD to buy USDT as a medium coin to buy Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

I would not want to store all my capital in stable coin, not USDT or other stable coins. It is so risky. Cryptocurrency companies and their founders are degens and we should not put our capital at risk by believing them too much.
1063  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Bloody Year 2022 coming to End on: December 12, 2022, 02:10:49 AM
Those collapses are more related to altcoins, DeFi, NFT, bridges, scam stable coins and tokenized Bitcoin (not Bitcoin). They are not Bitcoin or transactions on Bitcoin blockchain.

Bitcoin is not responsible for their collapses because these projects were built on sand with very weak infrastructures under the ground. Sooner or later, they will collapse, if not in 2022 bear market, they will collapse later in future bear markets.

Happily to have a cleaner market now because some big scam projects have passed away.

It was not luck, but hard work and great strategy for Morocco. I guess the big teams just assumed Morocco would be an easy win, and then got a surprise defeat.
Morocco has their solid strategy for the tournament and with player resource they have, they can't apply other strategies. Will Morocco repeat a big surprising success of Greece in Euro 2004?

Quote
Cristiano Ronaldo was absolutely shocked when they scored and when Portugal lost. He couldn't believe it.
In the only goal of Morocco to Portugal goal, their striker had amazing jump and that contributed to an inaccurate save of Diogo Costa, goalkeeper of Portugal. As an expert with very high jumps, Cristiano should know how much pressure such jumps can make defenders and goalkeepers fearful. And that situation happened very quickly, within a few seconds.

Quote
So I think France has to take them seriously, otherwise Morocco will continue to destroy superstars...
France had troubles to play against serious defensive teams and Morocco are a team like that. England controlled Mbappe very well in quarter math and if Morocco can control him in semi-final, they will have higher chance to beat France. We should not forget that France have many players who can score goals. Tchouameni's goal against England is a good example.

Nevertheless, I also agree with your point, since Messi and Neymar are considerably older, they will be more affected by the fatigue from this World Cup. Even the both are quite professional, the psychological aspect of a big and important tournament will take its toll from these players. But as you said, Mbappe is quite young and he will be less affected. Still, things are looking great for PSG after this prestigious world cup for them.
All of them will be given enough recovery time after World Cup. Especially Messi who is the oldest player among the trio and with two matches left, PSG are closely to see a non-injured Messi and Mbappe in their club after World Cup.

Neymar will need lot of time to digest the defeat in World Cup but Champions League is still one of his biggest aims in this season. Maybe it is a second biggest aim of Neymar, just after World Cup. It is not easy for Neymar to digest this failure with Brazil especially he tried his best to recover fastly from in injury and scored an important goal in match with Croatia. More disappointed, according to media, Neymar did tried to advise his Brazilian teammates to focus on defense in very last minutes of the second extra half. His teammates did not listen to him and let Croatia equalized.

Anyway I would like to choose PSG as a champions in this season in Champions League. It would be a happy ending for the trio before they separate later.

Morocco made a surprise when they qualified for the knockout round as group winners. Morocco impressive performance continued when they eliminated Spain and Portugal. Morocco success in advancing to the semifinals is a big history for them, apart from that Morocco also made a good record by keeping its net clean without being broken into by opposing players since the group stage.
The only goal that conceded was their own goal when they won 2-1 over Canada.
They have best defense in this World Cup and their goalkeeper Bounou has been playing best matches in his career. Nobody knew about Bounou before World Cup 2022 but now he is like unbeatable in Morroco goal.

In match with Portugal, he rejected a few dangerous shots from Bruno Fernandez, Joao Felix and Cristiano Ronaldo. Without Bounou, Portugal should score at least one goal or even can win within 90 minutes. His contribution is very big for Morocco success in World Cup 2022.

Quote
France is a big challenge for Morocco in the semifinals. France's strength cannot be compared to Spain and Portugal. Moroccan players must again build a strong defensive wall to withstand the onslaught of French players.
France is going closely to protect their trophy but Morocco with their strong defense and Bounou can beat France. We saw in the match with England, Mbappe was not able to use his speed a lot. If Morocco can prevent Mbappe in semi final, they will be able to challenge France like England did.

Will we have a final match between Croatia and Morocco?

I have to correct you, Mr. Mars does not like Bitcoin, and as he has shown many times in his public statements, he even does not understand it. According to his criteria, Bitcoin is still "dangerous for the environment" because he still hasn't returned it as a payment option to his company - and that same company has sold most of the BTC it had in its possession.
Maybe the Bitcoin mining is conflicted with a vision for another company of Elon, Tesla. Media and communities put a lot of pressure on Elon about why he supported Bitcoin but his vision for Tesla is green production.

I know Bitcoin is not environmental damage as much as media accused it but maybe Elon chose an easier way to response to media attack on Tesla. It can be considered that his support for Bitcoin is not loyal but it does not mean he does not like Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Taproot (Bech32m - bc1p) adoption

Bitcoin has many Segwit types, Bech32 Native Segwit and Bech32m (Taproot) are one of them. You can follow the Bech32 adoption page from Bitcoin wiki to check what wallets, exchanges support Bech32, Bech32m addresses.

Nowadays, support for Native Segwit address type (Bech32) is very popular and with multiple choices, you should choose non custodial wallets to store your bitcoins and make your transactions from it with bech32 addresses to save transaction fee.

With his love for Bitcoin, Elon Musk should know about Hal Finney. Even he did not know about Hal and delete Hal account, if community make their voices, Elon Musk will listen to them and recover the account for Hal after deleting it.

Platforms always have archival data so they can revert their decision on account ban or deletion easily.

Instead of Hal's tweets, let's read Bitcoin and me (Hal Finney) topic to know more about Hal and his vision for Bitcoin.

Barcelona is the same way, at least they have a mission to win the La Liga trophy as well as the Europa League competition. in fact, until now the competition between these two rivals is getting tougher. regarding the best claims, we will find out after this season ends.
It is unrealistic for Barcelona if they aim at winning both La Liga and Europa League. They must consider and decide what they want to win, either La Liga or Europa League. In my opinion, La Liga is more interesting for Barcelona and it will be their first priority in this season. They will still fight in Europa League but they won't prioritize all best players for it.

La Liga lasts long with 38 matches and there are no direct matches like knock-out matches in Europa League. With knock-out matches, sometimes you must have lot of luck to win and beat your competitors in aggregated results.
1071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 10, 2022, 02:48:47 PM
PSG is lucky to have too many top quality players in their squad which can help them for having better results into domestic league, and they can win this without their few top players as well but for the Champions League surely they need availability of their top players which help them for having good performance and better chances for the win in this season hopefully all will be clear in few weeks, and they will be able to perform with their best.
PSG don't have enough confidence in important matches and who is their captain? Their captain is Marcos Marquinhos and he is the heart of PSG defense. Honestly in many seasons, PSG lost their big advantages by conceding one, two or three goals very quickly. In World Cup, he made mistakes again and contributed to Brazil defeat.

Sergio Ramos has lot of experience and confidence but will he be able to force Marquinhos to play better?

Quote
Things are interesting as Bayern Munich is also missing their striker Sadio Mané even they are also having few good replacements but still this can hurt their chances for the win in this season into Champions League, but few players are also good and improving which will help there for the best results.
Bayern Munich will have bad German players with super bad mood after returning from World Cup. I really believe that Bayern will have not too good matches a few weeks after Bundesliga resumes in January.

This project claim it allows it's users to Send encrypted messages over Twitter and Facebook, it acts as a bridge between the internet and a decentralised network.
I did not know about Mask Network but Decentralized networks run on the Internet too.

You can use Tor browser with three Security Levels (Standard, Safer, Safest) to use Facebook and Twitter and with Tor you can have bridges too.

Maybe others will share their opinion about Mask Network but I would prefer to use Tor network as it has already tested and used by us long time enough.

Dear Metaspins developers,

I have issue to fully view the casino, landing page and other pages too with my laptop touchpad. I can not scroll it down to see what is at bottom of pages. Any solution to make it more user friendly with touchpad?

It is fine on mobile but on laptop, I can not see the scroll bar to scroll it up or down.

Is its color too similar to the background color so I missed it ?

Unfortunately, since Metaspins isn't a crypto exchange we can't offer conversion between currencies at this time, but it's something that is definitely on the radar which we will investigate in future if the demand continues from our players Smiley
If this feature is not related to your casino license, it is worthy to give it a try. Of course if your team are ready to spend resource for that feature development and actually see potential usages from gamblers.

In the past, I know Windice had that Convert feature for their users. Your team can investigate their feature and consider to put it in your likely todo or backlog list.

Rome wasn't built in one day and with each successful feature, Metaspin can become better and bigger.
1075  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: One market, contrary predictions. on: December 07, 2022, 11:35:55 AM
In market, we always have two sides, winners and losers. Losers make predictions and bet without plans to exit if their predictions won't be correct. Winners might make predictions but they won't bet. They wait for real things on market and will follow their original plans if predictions are correct. Else they will switch to plan B. In both Plan A and Plan B, they always have plan to stay outside or exit the market.

If market is in bottom, there are people who believe it is bottom and buy in. There are opposite people who will reject to join.
Same for market at top area, there are people who take profit but others will wait for higher highs who will likely sell or be liquidated along market to bottom.
1076  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would Bitcoin no longer be Bitcoin if it were adopted by everyone in the world ? on: December 07, 2022, 05:02:33 AM
Assume one day, Bitcoin would be the only survivor as cryptocurrency in the world and each individual, company, organization and goverment would abandon all fiats/currencies and take Bitcoin as the only payment. When all obstacles were gone, Bitcoin would actually become a combination of both fiat and investment asset.
Governments can make Bitcoin legal tender in their countries and they can make Bitcoin as one of paymen methods in their countries. Biqtcoin has many utilities, payment, investment, trading, gambling, lending ....

I am very sure that no government will eliminate their fiat currency and make Bitcoin as the only one currency or payment methid in their country.

Quote
However, as demand and supply were not to fluctuate much, the price of Bitcoin would be really stable and the value of investment would deteriorate.
Same supply but bigger demand,  it is a very simple math. With Bitcoin halvings, price will increase and in future, people will not look for 2x, 10x profit from Bitcoin. They will invest in Bitcoin like how they are investing in gold. They did not expect gold will double its price after one year now and in future, they will invest similarly in Bitcoin.
1077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 06, 2022, 01:39:59 PM
Croatia was lucky enough when it was against japan but that would be different when croatia will be facing brazil. Brazil has so many stars that can destroy croatia anytime. Brazil has neymar that is playing now. that will become a disaster for modric and friends to face brazil.
I don't think Croatia was lucky in the match with Japan. Both teams played well and had chances to score winning goals but they couldn't and had to find a winner in penalty. At penalty spot, Croatia simply have more experience than Japan so they won.



I thought that after going through a difficult phase in the South Korean group stage, at least it would make Brazil feel difficult, but it seems that it was even unexpected that Brazil in the first half managed to score 4 goals and at the same time made the victory for Brazil so absolute. In the second half, South Korea managed to score 1 goal, on the other hand, South Korea also had many opportunities but was thwarted by the appearance of goalkeeper Alisson, who was extraordinary in being able to block shots from South Korean players. But I really salute and respect South Korea, they performed very well in this world cup.
Brazil totally controlled that match and they even can win it with a tennis result if their players have more accuracy in finishing. The only goal for South Korea is fantastic and scored outside of the box. That shot is too powerful and Brazilian goalkeeper with limited eye view in that situation, could not make as save.

It is a good goodbye from South Korea in World Cup 2022. They had a first match in Round of 16 after 20 years since World Cup 2002 in their country.

Morocco will be though opponent for Spain today that they have capable to became an dark horses team and not easy to beat Morocco and it proven from group stage that Belgium and Croatia weren't able to beat Morocco even Belgium has lose from them and meetings statistics from Spain and Morocco showed both of teams has been meet each other on world cup 2018 and the results from that match is both of them has been playing draw and for today match although Spain has slightly the favourite but Morocco will attempts to steal goal early and for betting option over 2.5 goals might be good considering Morocco and Spain are quite productive on group stage
Spain will dominate the match again but they must play carefully and avoid giving Morocco too many space to run. In this World Cup, Morata is playing better than in Euro 2020 and it is helpful for Spain to have goals. Their midfielders can create opportunities but a striker like Morata is important for their formation.

If Spain score first, Morocco might collapse when they lift their team up too high to find an equalizing goal. Spanish players are fast and smart enough to get more goals in such situation. Morocco anyway will enjoy the match because it is too long since a last World Cup they can participate in round of 16.

From Metaspin, your platform can get conversion fee from users too.

Trust other people or other third party services, do it with risk and well awareness about scam, black swan event, hack ...

With Bitcoin, only you can lose your Bitcoin if you store your coins in your non-custodial wallet.

How would you lose your coins in a non-custodial wallets?
- Your device is broken, can not be recovered and you don't have that wallet backup for recovery
- You lose your keys, your seeds, wallet password to others
- You sell your coins at cheap price and lose part of it when you buy back at higher price

How to not lose your coins ?
- Use a non-custodial wallet, back it up for recovery, use strong password for your wallet file, store your backup safely, offline
- Hold, don't trade

Since VCs that invested in Aptos are affected by the FTX collapse do you think that Aptos still have a lot of downsides in near future? With the current high supply and high price I don't think it's a good time to accumulate this crypto project.

the reason why I am not already buying is the high price, 4$ per Aptos still look like a stupid buy to me, what do you think?
It is very stupid to buy altcoins in bear market.

It is more stupid to buy altcoin that reached its all time high just about one month ago and today its price is only half of its all time high. Total high supply is another risk.

It claimed to redefine technology that is their exaggerating promise at the moment. Will they be able to launch technological redefining products? If they fail, what will be price for that token.
