-snip- When Argentina were having constant wins in the last world cup a lot of people said it's a manipulation and also when they lost the final people still said it was also a manipulation from fifa to cover up the fact that they have been in favour of Argentina, very funny.
No matter what tournament it is, you'll definitely come across comments like that. I think that's totally fine, because people are free to share their opinions. Plus, not everyone likes Argentina or Spain, so you might hear comments supporting the other side, or criticizing the other side and accusing them of cheating just because they performed so well. That's normal and nothing to take too seriously, because if you ask people whether they have proof that a team is cheating, they'll just say that they just have a feeling about it or they just think it looks unnatural. In the end, it's just a baseless comment.

A most possible reason is Rollbit has yet renewed the license on time.
I just checked their license, and so far the status hasn't changed. I'm not exactly sure what's going on behind the scenes, but looking at Rollbit's reputation, this probably isn't a very serious issue. Surely Rollbit has already made efforts to get their license back, and it's just a matter of time because the licensing process usually takes time, especially when the regulator needs certain things from their casino. So let's just see how the process goes from here and hope that everything can be resolved smoothly.

Supposed there's a marketplace where devices are sold (let's use this first) And they accept Bitcoin and Fiat. What's your thought on someone that chooses to use their Bitcoin to buy an iPhone?
I guess some people might choose to use their Bitcoin to buy that iPhone. Maybe they're not the type of people who would hold Bitcoin forever, and they might spend some of it when they actually need it without thinking too much about it. But more people might prefer to use fiat, because they think their Bitcoin might be worth more in the future, so spending it to buy that iPhone wouldn't be worth it and would just be wasting their Bitcoin – they're more likely to keep their Bitcoin and spend the fiat instead because it makes so much more sense to them. There's nothing wrong with either, because everyone has different priorities and financial situations for choosing how they want to use their Bitcoin. The important thing is that they don't force themselves to buy an iPhone. Because there are a lot of people who intentionally spend their assets on something they don't really need just to look richer and more successful.

Even though Kimi was the favorite in this race, Norris was still able to push and even secured pole position in this qualifying session. Norris managed to push in the final minutes with a very narrow time gap to Kimi. I think Norris was lucky to secure pole position. And I didn't expect Max to still be able to push his cart all the way to P3. He even recorded the fastest time in several sectors. It seems the characteristics of this circuit really helped Max push his cart. For Ferrari, as usual, Charles and Hamilton remained close to P4 and P5. If Ferrari is unable to manage their drivers, contact between Charles and Hamilton could occur again later in the race. 2026 F1 Spanish Grand Prix - Qualifying resultsPos Driver Nat.

Well, I subscribe to one of the local streaming services here at a very affordable price. Since I live in Asia, I'm not familiar with your local services, but I have a few illegal services bookmarked in case my subscription expires. Sharing that here might be inappropriate, though.

Knowing that this wallet has been taken over by an exchange that focuses on money, I see this as something normal. Trustwallet is used by so many people, having a prediction market integrated into their app expecting that they can make some money from people who might be interested in placing predictions on events. That could give the company another way to generate revenue from fees spent by users on their predictions. Even though it sounds pretty funny because how could a wallet offer predictions in their app, they don't seem to care as long as they can make more money from their app.

We have discussed this so many times. Bitcoin is indeed a digital currency, and its main function is for payments. However, the reason why not more people use Bitcoin is because of its volatility. Bitcoin tends to be volatile, and its price can change at any time. For payments in larger amounts, this might not have a significant impact, but for payments in smaller amounts, it could be a problem.
Also, fees and waiting times are also considerations. Just imagine if you use Bitcoin, you need to spend several minutes waiting for confirmation and have to spend fees just to buy a coffee worth a few dollars. That is not practical.
And another challenge is regulation. In some countries, Bitcoin is treated more as an investment asset rather than a currency. Thus, its use is so limited, and people who use it might run into problems.
However, that doesn't mean more people aren't using it for their transactions. The use of Bitcoin as a digital currency is more widespread now than in previous years. That said, if you expect it to be accepted "everywhere," you might be disappointed, because Bitcoin hasn't reached that point yet.

The Madrid track has just opened, and it has already claimed a victim. Lindblad crashed during the second practice session after losing control of his car, forcing him to cut his run short. And Kimi seems so consistent in securing P1 – just like FP1, he topped the practice session. On the other hand, Ferrari also performed really well, with Charles and Lewis both managing to get P2 and P3. But Ferrari's habit is that they can be so strong in practice sessions, yet drop in the race. So there’s no need to have high expectations for them.

I choose no. I don't think we've come out of the bear market. Even though Bitcoin's price has tended to go up recently, that doesn't indicate that the market has entered a new bull cycle – short-term bullish moves can still occur during a bearish trend. So we need to see more confirmation before assuming that the bearish trend is over. Especially considering the possibility that we might face another correction before the market really shows signs of a bullish trend. Until that happens, I don't think we should be too confident that the bearish trend is over.

It's unlikely that a private key could be guessed that easily. But let's say that scenario happens, I think it depends on how he handles the Bitcoin inside it. If he tries to spend it, then that's clearly against the law because he's spending something that wasn't his from the start.
But it depends on the owner of that Bitcoin, whether they report it to the authorities or not. If they report it, then the authorities can trace the movement of the funds, and that guy can be tracked and caught for breaking into the wallet. But if not, then that guy would likely face less attention from the authorities, though that doesn't make what he did legal and give him legitimate ownership of the Bitcoin.

If Nico Paz were to take Messi's place and the comparison was made for him, he would feel that pressure immensely. Aware of the fact that Messi is his idol, he would in no way want to be compared to his idol, because he knows that he would be unattainable.
Replacing Messi is no easy feat. He's an Argentine legend, so when a player is expected to step into his role, the pressure can be enormous, as they need to live up to public expectations and will be constantly compared to Messi. These high expectations can be difficult for any player to handle, and they can even affect their performance. Therefore, rather than constantly searching for Messi's replacement, the Argentine national team must develop players who can develop their own identity and perform without the burden of such high expectations.

My question is what is killing these online casinos?
Gamblers really love promotions. When a casino fails at offering promotions and VIP rewards, it makes more gamblers switch to casinos that can give them more attractive offers. For many gamblers, this is important because they also want to get more rewards from the casinos they play at. When a casino fails to provide promotions and loyalty programs to keep existing players and attract new ones, it means they've already failed to attract in more users. And when a casino just survives by relying on their existing user base, they just hang on, and it can eventually become difficult for them to maintain growth. In such a competitive casino industry, it's only a matter of time before they have to shut down.

Maybe I can finish my current run of DNFs  I already backed Antonelli and hope it won't backfire. -snip- Sticking with Kimi is the safest choice for now, because right now he's the fastest on the grid and has better performance. The only consideration is that this is a new circuit, so drivers' knowledge is still limited to simulations, and as far as I know, only Sainz tried the circuit first and most intensely. So it will all depend on the free practice later, whether Kimi can perform as impressively as in the previous race, or not. But my feeling strongly says that he'll be on the podium again.

Fighting this old man is never-ending because he will continue to come up with various narratives to corner Bitcoin and say that it is a worthless asset and that people who invest their money in it are simply stupid. We shouldn't be surprised by what he says, because he will stick to his guns and say that Bitcoin is a scam.
Even with all the evidence that Bitcoin has continued to grow and gain wider adoption over the years, and even major investment firms and governments have accepted Bitcoin, he still refuses to believe that Bitcoin has any value.
I think we should already be able to judge what kind of person this old man is - he is nothing more than someone who wants to gain attention by discrediting Bitcoin.

 I saw this guy on TikTok and he had commented on a few videos. Not sure whether this is a real account or not. But knowing what he did, it's really unfortunate that someone so young would do something like that. I think this guy should get a harsher punishment than 20 years in prison. Because he's only 22 now, he might get out of prison in his early 40s or so. That would still give him more time to rebuild his life. A life sentence is most appropriate because this guy is just trash and doesn't deserve the opportunity to build his life with the losses he has made.

I believe that AI can take over jobs in more sectors, even in more specific sectors such as legal services, healthcare, engineering, etc. This is all because AI capabilities are developing faster, and even now we are starting to enter the era of AGI, where AI could potentially perform like humans. Although their capabilities are currently limited, but with continued training and development, they may be able to handle more and more complex tasks. I think it's only a matter of time before AI before that happens.

With the growing prediction market, it might make more online casinos offer prediction markets on their platforms. That's definitely going to happen because the prediction market is still a new market and more people are already interested in participating in them. Having a prediction market allows casinos to expect that they can increase their revenue and also ensure that their users can access the prediction market directly from their platform.

When it comes to privacy, it's not something to be taken lightly, as there have been many recent cases where individuals didn't take privacy seriously, ultimately leading to tragic consequences. If you hold a large amount of Bitcoin, it's best to keep it quiet and avoid exposing too much information to others. More people are now aware of Bitcoin's value. Keeping your Bitcoin as private as possible can protect you from criminal and reduce the risk of becoming a target.

So, another race weekend for us. And it's on a new circuit, so everything feels a bit unfamiliar. This is a hybrid circuit, with most of the sections being city streets. This will likely be a more challenging circuit due to its curvy corners and sharp banked turns. Even in its F3 debut yesterday, there were 19 red flags and three broken chassis and broken suspensions. Sainz also added that it's like a mix of Jeddah, Baku, and a bit of Singapore. So, its characteristics are quite unique and challenging. In this race, Antonelli is still favored to win, along with Russell and Lando. Their car performance looks convincing to perform well on this circuit. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/five-things-to-look-out-for-at-the-f1-spanish-gp/10853925/

People have simply found a new way to gamble, and that's through meme coins. Just imagine a shitcoin worth only $37 soaring to $401 and then plummeting to $1.69. If anyone says this isn't a scam, I think they're sick in the head. This is all a scam. And I bet Hunter Biden is laughing right now at how people are giving him free money.

Anyone here have funds stuck on a long-dead exchange from back then? Did you ever try tracing it, or just let it go?
There are definitely people whose assets are stuck in exchanges that have gone bankrupt, but the problem is that these people might have already forgotten about it or are too lazy to deal with it, maybe because of the complicated claims process, or the fact that they don't think it's worth the time and effort. I also had Bitcoin that was stuck on one of the platforms that went bankrupt, but because the amount wasn't that significant I just left it there and eventually forgot about it, if I'm not mistaken maybe the value is now double from when I first deposited it. But I agree with what some people here have said, this man was lucky to be in a jurisdiction where the regulations were relatively strict. If this had happened in a place with gray or not strict regulations, then that man would probably have been left to deal with the hassle of trying to recover those assets on his own, with little to no legal protection and possibly very high processing costs.
