This is one of the reasons I love bitcointalk, you never know what you’re going to see next. Good to know that the legend is still around and I am privileged to have around
My question: That particular portfolio of yours that made you say you were Hodling; at what point did you later sell it, or are you still hodling? In order what words, at what time should someone stop Hodling
this is investment advice. i am clearly a professional. you should stop hodling at 12pm and start again at 5pm every day. you should buy right before I sell, and sell right before I buy. That is how you become a Doge Millionaire. the best part is i solved quantum physics so i don't even need to know your timezone Careful now, a few more words of wisdom, and you could be a bitcoin guru. I think your first post already answered the question of why you have come back to the forum after all this time. My other question is: Which boards were the most interesting in bitcointalk at the time?[/i] Lol, after reading his reply, I was confused because I partially didn't understand, but I had to maintain my steez as if I am a bitcoin guru. There's a distinction between OGs and the new forum users. Knowledge reduced, sarcasm also did reduce and most notable is conversations are becoming too mechanical, as in when you contribute with a set of rules in your head to obey. Those old dudes did enjoy more value than noise and more freedom of expression.

Looking at the Liverpool starting XI I am not confident at all now. No Isak, Gakpo, Ekitike or Szoboszlai. We look short on quality and especially weak on the bench.
I would gladly take a draw, I think Man City will win.
It also predicted Man city to win, and they actually did. Despite all these key players being out, Liverpool also controlled the game more than I anticipated, they had a few chances, but lacked a decent finisher, the youngsters Koumas isn't that experienced to cover that No 9 position. Coming into the second half, Liverpool had clear goal scoring opportunities but couldn't convert any. Gravenberch was outstanding for Liverpool in the midfield until he conceded a second yellow card and was sent off. City immediately took advantage of the situation and later scored 3 goals to seal the win at Anfield. To be honest, I don't think City would have won by such margin if Liverpool key players were fit, but nevertheless City claimed all three points. City have now won 6 out of 6 games played.

Even if Lazio beats Monza, Inter will still be on top of the table because that's where they're currently, due to the ongoing match result between Como and Roma that's still goalless. Roma should try and draw this game instead, of losing it. Let's see what kind of magic Roma want to perform in order for them to win Como with one man down and maintain their lead.
Inter is still currently at the top after the goaless draw from Roma vs Como. Roma did like you said, the game ended in a draw, although Roma had more momentum in the first half, they had a few chances but couldn't capitalize on any. A crucial moment that handed momentum over to Como in the second half was a red card by Donyel Malen. After the incident, Como pressed Roma tirelessly, but luckily for Roma the defence held on. Como performed well I guess, but I don't fancy them as title contenders, they can only just qualify for Europe that's all. Inter is currently top of the table by just goal difference, Lazio is currently second. This season looks competitive, and I think Inter will have to work this season to defend the title, because Lazio and Roma are looking dangerous.

There are just a few minutes left until Galatasaray's match against Kasımpaşa begins. I came across an interesting statistic: Galatasaray has won only once against Kasımpaşa in its last four matches:  Galatasaray will play this match without Osimhen as well. Considering this statistic, we can say that Galatasaray faces a tough challenge. Barış Alper Yılmaz is playing right back, and Deniz Gül is playing up front. Galatasaray finally broke the dead lock, they won 3–1. At a point in the game, it looked like they were going to settle for another draw, but Galatasaray substitutes combined to seal the game. Osimehn featured in the match, he came in as a substitute and also provided an assist. Yilmaz was placed as right back in the game, but he drifted forward at times, and he was playing more of a right wing back in the game, he scored the 2nd goal for Galatasaray that restored the lead. I'm glad to see Osimehn back in top form, because they have an upcoming game against Barcelona and he will be very much needed.

In this case, I'm also confused about who's to blame because I personally don't know the true root of the problem. But as a small community, we can only surrender to the current situation. What's certain is that people are crying out not because of inflation, but because many people are unemployed, and unfortunately, even those who are employed don't earn as much as they hoped. Basically, inflation causes prices to rise for basic necessities and so on. The problem is, if people's incomes don't increase, the unemployed, in particular, will suffer even more. So, in my opinion, if we talk about who's to blame for all this, I don't know. But now I can only hope the government can create jobs, and of course, with high wages, so inflation can be controlled. And of course, for business owners, the government must support them by not imposing excessive taxes on companies, especially small ones. Now, I hope the world will soon be at peace and the global economy will improve.
There is no specific person you can blame for this global economic disaster. Everyone, including Trump, who seems to be trying to pin the blame on other parties, has played one role or another in contributing to this global disaster. All parties involved have implemented policies that backfired on the economy. Some have engaged in conflicts that they should have avoided or tried to resolve diplomatically. The failure to apply wisdom rather than let pride and a sense of superiority prevail is what has led to what we are experiencing now. We know how badly tensions between countries affect the economy. If this teaches us any lesson, it is that countries should reduce these tensions to maintain a stable economy. Trump won't like this advice, though.

Delay is dangerous, which is why, out of everything OP has said, I agree more with number 4. When enemies want to strike, they take advantage of every loophole. In a situation where the military cannot make urgent decisions without waiting for a go-ahead from those in political offices, a lot of things will go wrong. The military should be given the power to act as a separate entity of the state, all in the best interest of the state.
It is important that I make it clear that giving the military full autonomy does not mean they will be unaccountable. Of course, they will be accountable to the government which is responsible for ensuring that the military has all the necessary equipment and tools needed to keep the country safe from criminals and terrorists.
Bureaucratic delays are not needed in countries already suffering from insurgency. It is also confirmed that some governments use the military for political purposes. The military is non-partisan and should not be involved in political activities that distract them from their real purpose.

Most of them still believe more on foreigner they think that foreign coaches has more experience in coaching jobs because i don't see why they will be neglecting what they have available at home and going out side to look for it and also pay them higher amount of money, while the home coach wouldn't even need such amount. African coaches who are coaching in their countries are doing well i wish all African teams will have their citizens as their head coach i believe this will be part of self development. A lot of federations still suffer from a colonial mindset, automatically assuming that a foreign manager means higher quality while overlooking the talent they have right at home. Not only do local coaches understand the culture, players and local mentality way better, but investing in them also builds long term self development and stability for the entire football ecosystem. Paying massive salaries to foreign coaches who often leave at the first sign of trouble just doesn't make sense anymore, especially when local managers have repeatedly proven they can get the job done on the biggest stages. I continue to question the ideology of the African countries that hire foreign coaches, I mean mediocre level coaches. If they hire Mourinho, Zidane, Tuchel, Ancelito, Kloop etc, I will know that they hired world class coaches. But no, they instead still hire foreign coaches at the level of our local coaches and continue to feed the bloated system. I can simply call this inferiority complex. The black man has refused to understand that no one will save him if not his fellow black man. It is high time CAF, NFF and more have a good rethink and fix the rotten system that promotes mediocre clothed in white.

. After that, I deleted over 30,000 images (+8GB) that had been uploaded over two or three days.
Wow, this is a high volume attack...Great you've handled it. But I am curious why they attacked so aggressively, assuming they were using the service just like every other daily users, you wouldn't have noticed. I believe if authorities get involved in the future, the service will be vindicated. This is just bad players using a good tool The exact same thing happened to BitList's Image Upload.  Literally the same forest and remote location images with GPS coordinates from Russia, thousands of images.  I am scared they haven't stopped. Since they've discovered these services, it may be that they are just re strategizing .

The absence of Raphinha will be a big problem for Barcelona in as much as they have Yamal and some other good players it will affect them some how but the wingers can try to fill in for him, Gordon or Fermín López can play the false 9 especially the Spanish player Fermín, he is good in that position but Raphinha knows how to lead and control the game more better. I just hope they don't face that same drama of missing him for that long like it happened last season.
It seems like you don't understand what the manager is trying to do, he's trying to rest his key player because of the tough fixtures coming up ahead. Barcelona will face PSG and Real Madrid towards the end of this month, so he's dropping Raphinha which is in top form to avoid injuries. You forgot Barcelona signed Gabriel Jesus, he can cover the No.9 roll as well. We have seen Dani Olmo play as a No.9, as well as Adeyimi, they have lots of options. With or without Raphinha, Barcelona has alot of attackers that can score goals.They still have Rodri who is capable of controlling the game, so I don't see any problem.

It is not a good thing to try, except that Fabregas is ready to kill his career as a manager. Don't you remember how the managers that went to Manchester United have shattered their careers? The way I used to value Amorim at Sporting, and when he came to Manchester United, I rated him very low. Same with Ten Hag and others that have come and gone. Cesc Fabregas doesn't have to taint his career in this manner. Moving to Manchester United is the worst decision he will at this stage of his career. Como has better things to offer him.
You are right, moving to United will shatter his career. Cesc Fabregas started his coaching career with Como, and in his first season he help them qualify for their first ever UCL competition. We don't often see managers being successful in their first season. Fabregas is just beginning his managerial career, moving to a demanding club like United can put him under pressure and maybe spoil his career. He still has a long way to go at Como. The problem of United is not the coach, the problem is the defence. United failed to get defenders during the transfer window, and now we can see how it's affecting them. Carrick is a good manager, and don't see any reason why he should be sacked.

However, this is a match in which only the latest performances cannot be considered, because here the real motivating side of both teams comes into play, because both fans want their players to play the match in the best possible way and possibly bring home the result. So a match that can really end in many unexpected ways.
Aside from that, the International break might also have a negative impact not only on this game, but also this game week. Two of Liverpool key attackers are out injured( Isak and Gakpo), Including Man city's Erling Haaland. Some players might suffer fatigue after this break which can hinder their optimum performance. As you said "the latest performance cannot be considered", you're right. But tactically, I think Man city are favourites to win the game, but let's see what Liverpool can do without their key players. Barcola is still trying to adapt to the squad, and this is their first tough game, I don't think he'll do much against City.

What Galatasaray has and what other teams like Besiktas and Fenerbahçe lack is belief, because Galatasaray, being the team that has achieved better results for the longest time, even in terms of championships won, has that confidence and certainty in the way of playing that the other teams lack. And this is what makes the difference for Galatasaray and gives them more points.
Not any more, this season will be different. I see competition from some other teams. Galatasaray has been dominant for seasons, but this season will not be easy, because Besiktas and Fenerbahçe are looking very strong. Although both teams didn't start the season strong, but with the calibre of players they have, I think they can compete with Galatasaray this season.

I think Endrick is making the right decision. Arda Güler stayed at Real Madrid and fought for playing time, but if he had gone to another club, he could have gained more experience by now. Real Madrid doesn’t provide a suitable environment for young players. What’s more, some players get more chances even when they perform poorly. This calls into question the competition for playing time for everyone. I think Endrick is doing what’s best for his own development. I don’t feel sorry for him; I see him as a fighter who isn’t afraid of new challenges...
I don't think he made the right decision returning to Madrid, he was already having a good time at Lyon. Arda Guler case is different, he joined Madrid the time Toni Kroos and Modric were already talking of retirment, so he had no competition as such had the chance of proving himself. As for Endrick, he joined Madrid when Mbappe was already at his best. Endrick was then inevitably dropped to the bench. There's no way Endrick can fight for the CF position with a player like Mbappe. He should go find another club where he can get enough play time.

Not sure what it has to do with the OP who has only been here since 2024. theymos has looked after forum funds for many years and never gone rogue, nor will he ever so I’m not sure what’s perked OP’s curiosity.
I do not think that Op's curiosity is driven by the idea that theymos will go rogue. It could be that he was surprised to see such reports made in the past and wanted to know why such records are not readily available anymore, I am just guessing... Maybe theymos needs to diversify and trust a number of DT1 members to each hold forum funds to spread the risk. Obviously full KYC and full dox would be required to satisfy the level of trust required for that kind of role.
Instead of trusting a DT1 member, thereby creating two possible points of failure, how about having a multi signature arrangement for some portion of the funds while theymos still keep some portion.

Madrid hopes to narrow the point gap with Barcelona in the El Clasico match that will be played at the end of this month. Especially since Barcelona will face PSG in the UCL before playing El Clasico, I mean the result against PSG will affect the El Clasico match if Barcelona fails to win against PSG, it will certainly impact the team's confidence. Meanwhile, Madrid will face Leipzig before El Clasico which can be considered an easier opponent. So, Madrid still has a chance to continue closing the point gap with Barcelona.
Tactically, you are right. There's a possibility that Barca might drop form after the PSG game, because we know how hungry PSG is to defend their title, so it won't be an easy game for Barca. In previous years, we have seen either of these teams in bad form but later bounced back to win the El clasico, you should know that both teams are always in form when it comes to El Clasico, it's mostly momentum shift in the game that decides the winner. With Barca recent form, there's is possibility that they can beat both PSG and Madrid. The only problem they might face is injury or fatigue. Real Madrid might also continue with their bad form till the El Clasico who knows, so you can't call it a chance.

Majority of us in this thread agree that we will likely see $98k and not dropping to $60k and with the indications in the market, there are positive bullish signals; But right now, I am very skeptical after seeing the fear/greed index. We are about 73% greedy and it's not a good signal. Remember to be fearful when others are greedy...

While I still believe that we are in a bear market, it doesn't mean that it's all going down and down and down. We know that there are times where we see the market going up just like what we saw in the last 2 months. It's the same when we were in a bull run last year.
In the past bear markets, we see more downs than ups, but this time, we are seeing continuous up. The only reason we will say it's not a bull market yet is because we are not seeing an ATH. TBH, like you I'm also seeing some bull run signs as well, but I'm a firm believer of the 4-year cycle, so I don't see this as a NEW BULL RUN just like what we saw last year, and with regards to CZ's prediction of having a supercycle, I still believe that it will not happen, and I don't see any reason that it's happening. Do we see the people online saying "we are in a bull market" blah blah blah that much compared to what happened during the 2025 bull run season? I don't think so.
I believed CZ about the super cycle, but I believed him the wrong way. I thought it was going to happen as he described. But now I am realising that what he said it gradually happening. Last cycle, we saw a new ATH before having, which has not happened before. This time, it's also obvious that we'll see a new ATH before halving. Don't you think that the pattern is falling? I believe that this isn't the start of the new bull run season, but assuming that we are nearing the end of the bear market season, this is the start of the "accumulation phase" where many investors are starting to accumulate Bitcoin hence, the increase in the price of it.  Yea, halving is still far... About 80k+ blocks which is projected to happen in 2028. So, expecting bull run from now is unrealistic. Besides, the greed/fear index is 73% greed, you know what this means...

And if we are talking about their current form, I think Liverpool and Chelsea are more or less in the same situation right now, because they both started the season quite poorly. The fact that Liverpool have a couple more points than Chelsea doesn't mean that they are in much better form. Both teams are going through a transition under new managers, and that is usually a painful process for a team.
You are right, both teams started poorly this season. To be honest, I think Chelsea had the most disappointing start. Chelsea is currently 10th in the table, they have 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. The worst part is that they've conceded more goals than they've scored with a GD of -2. Chelsea is not performing the way I expect, I was thinking they would compete for the EPL since they're not playing any European competition. Liverpool is not in good form as well, but their case is different, they have UCL matches to worry about, so the manager needs time to balance the squad and adapt as well. Chelsea only major competition is the EPL, they don't have to worry about resting players, complaining about fatigue or squad rotation, but they still perform poorly. I know they need time to settle with the new manager tactics, but despite that, their performance is not encouraging at all. Although there is still time for Chelsea to bounce back, they still have the advantage of playing in only one major competition, maybe if the manager finally adapt, they can still compete for the title.

England's heavy win over Croatia is the first huge score line I've seen since this tournament started and it was able to cover for their previous poor performance. England aren't very consistent in their winning ways which is quite a disappointment considering the high class players they have so maybe today they might have another chance to dazzle fans or still play average football depending on how the defense of their opponents will be
England has been one of the most consistent team since the start of this nations league campaign. They have won 2 games out of 3, kept 2 clean sheets, and the loss was against a strong team Spain, so where is the inconsistency?. I don't know for you, but I will say England has been great since the start of this campaign, and I think they're strong title contenders. They are even performing well compared to how they performed in the world cup. Kane has been consistent in scoring goals, Gordon has been outstanding as well, Bellingham has been perfect as well, so I don't know why you're still disappointed or not confident of them.
