Belgium national team has gotten that perfect form of before back again, with the team playing together as one without having that divided squad. I see them going far in this coming Euros, without being divided like they did in the world cup.
Lukaku is in form with him getting 4 goals is enough to say he's back to prove that he's one of the best, who knows Chelsea might be having a rethink about him.
If the Belgium team continue like this, the likes of England and Portugal would be aware of the Belgium team that they (England and Portugal) are not the only ones as favorite to get the title.

Come to think of it — I wonder how long Bitcointalk would've survived if it wasn't for signature campaigns? Activity wouldn't be this big if it wasn't for bounties.

Seriously we won't have gotten much traffic if it wasn't for SIG campaign, and I know we have members who would kick against it. It doesn't matter if we tell ourselves the truth or not. These campaign makes the form to be extra busy and it has improved many users posting quality.

If it was possible I would have ordered a cake...
Congratulations to Bitcointalk and thank you for making it possible for us to be here.

I definitely agree with this because trying to predict the price of Bitcoin based on gut feeling or hope isn't a sound investment strategy and price predictions can be risky or even lead to disappointment and failure. You need to look at the fundamentals and analyze the market carefully.

In as much as we accept the fact that there's risk in investment and other related Bitcoin affairs, we must be very careful to avoid those risks, some investors who rely on prediction use it always in trading, they have a high risk of losing more than they can get.
Today we're seeing the price of Bitcoin at $36k, and is becoming boring but we shouldn't say it will go down, yes the price is still surprising to be at that amount for long but let's see how it will be like when it starts making a move out from $36k.

Is not the end of the world for Manchester United and don't say it like Onana is the only goalkeeper they have in that team. I believe with him being out of action it would give him (Onana) time to rest and it will reduce the amount of pressure on him. The second choice could cover for Onana and even do better, these days goalkeepers are the ones who look for opportunity to showcase themselves just to be in the first team.
Playing under huge pressure and after having bad start is not easy for all player. Pressure is very harmful for player performance and if they fail to be strong against pressure, their performances will be affected negatively. We saw it with Morata, Lukaku in Chelsea as without confidence, a player will play worse than what he can do with his best. Therefore, a few weeks to sit back and take a break, avoid more pressure whilst have time to analyze past mistakes will help Onana to improve a lot when he returns.

I don't think all these players mentioned have same issue, the case of Morata and Lukaku are the same but different from that of Onana. Morata and Lukaku have this problem of not providing goals for the club, and the expectations was high and it made these two players to perform very poorly. They don't have it at heart to play for the club as of then, it was too much.
Onana is a goalkeeper that Manchester United fan wanted him to do the duty of a goalkeeper and a defender too, which is not suppose to be so.
David de Gea never had this kind of pressure, he carried the duty of a goalkeeper and a defender on his shoulder. So if they want the best of Onana I think everybody should try as much as they can to do well in their respective positions, especially the defense, that alone will make Onana do well to protect the goalpost.

Everton just got a shock with 10 points deduction because of their financial issues. They are in a most vulnerable time that gives Manchester United a very good opportunity to beat Everton in the next match. It's hard to explain if Manchester United can not complete this task with three points.

That's another negative effect they need to deal with when they get back from the break and I think it will break the players mentally at least for some time just like the case of Juventus. If Man UTD don't take advantage of this Everton's current situation I feel the game might end in a draw and if it happens that this encounter end in a draw, that would motivate the Everton side to step up to win the next game.

Here's also a place of business but to me I still don't find it ok to be giving out loan, because the risk is too much to handle.
Just like you don't find it Ok to give out a loan because it's risky, other people find it not OK to gamble or even trade because of the risk.

Giving out loans is actually business, What lender maybe need to is to become more picky on who to lend money to and who not to lend to. But I think over the years the number of loan defaulters has reduced.

Everything is a risk so you using trading as an example is not suppose to be, you know how trading is and no matter how risky it is you must get your profit even if you lose.
Talking about giving loan, no matter how picky the lender is the risk is still at 100% sure that he can lose his money.
This kind of business is not that transparent, you're not seeing the person you're giving the loan, you know nothing about him and if you can't get your money back what do you do? Nothing helpful to get your money back.
So you saying loan defaulters has reduced, I don't agree with you on that, they're now much because the loan collectors know they can't be traced should incase they refuse to pay back.

As the market is currently at a good level hovering around $35k. We have seen the price of Bitcoin rise sharply towards the end of October, although we know that a rapid rise is not a good sign and it could fall again. But I think as the market is currently pumping and fluctuating in a steady state, the market may not be dumping too much. Currently the market is in a good position and may go higher towards the end of the year and most likely to touch $40k. This could be because the price of Bitcoin is increasing rapidly as we have years ahead of us for the Bitcoin halving. We can certainly hope that since the halving, the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise and become a bull market.
You'd agree with me that the movement of Bitcoin price is very tricky, it may look like the price isn't going up but with what we're seeing, I believe you have to change the thought you had that the price will go down soon, $36k is the current price and this was how it started last month before getting to $34k.
So from all indications I can see the price of Bitcoin not going down anytime soon but getting to $40k and above this month. November movement on Bitcoin price will be growing faster than that of October from the looks of things and by December it would even get to $50-$60k.
I'm not him but I can agree with you with that, because I'm not a new member here anymore and it's been a long time that I realized it. Apart from it, there are also times that BTC movements are highly predictable but I wouldn't be totally confident with it. It's better to be prepared for the unexpected so that things are still going to be manageable.

Lately, people already expects that the price will rise, because we already broke the strongest support/barrier which is $32k, and then there are also other positive factors that are available. But no bro, there is no $36k last month if I'm not mistaken but we only experienced it lately. For me, I think I'm seeing a quick correction again before we continue and hitting those numbers you call there.

Predicting the price of Bitcoin and hoping for it to happen that way is a risk some investors take, which to me is not good. When we're having Bitcoin price at $36k some might say in the next few hours it will go back to $37-38k base on prediction which won't happen, that's where is a failure.
Currently the strongest barrier is $36k and it has been on that price for almost 2 weeks, I think. I still believe it will start making a positive movement from this week, who knows we might be seeing it surpassing $37-38k, before the end of this month $40k might be the next target.

Another sad thing for Manchester United is about their goalkeeper and it seems the nightmare for Ten Haf is not going to end because this goalkeeper is injured.
In the game between Cameroon and Mauritius, Onana got injured and this is bad news for a team like Manchester United because they had enough problems and now they have an injured goalkeeper which can definitely damage the team.
He is going to be probably absent against Everton. Also, there is even the possibility for Onana to be out for four months but



https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12765775/Man-United-injury-Andre-Onana-Everton-Cameroon.html

Is not the end of the world for Manchester United and don't say it like Onana is the only goalkeeper they have in that team.

The second choice could cover for Onana and even do better, these days goalkeepers are the ones who look for opportunity to showcase themselves just to be in the first team.
Well as for the coach Ten Hag, he's the only one who knows how to make his team get a win in their next game against Everton, with Onana out of action, the absence of the Cameroon goalkeeper won't tell if they win or not, is just left for the coach and the team to make it happen.

I have a little knowledge but I need a guide. Bought some cryptocurrency like XRP and Bitcoin. Currently people only talk about Bitcoin but the price is very high for me to afford investing in it. I don't know why I feel like it's the only cryptocurrency worth investing and I would love to try  but am still learning gradually about it.

People talk only about Bitcoin because is what they prefer, is the coin they find to be the best, with the price on the high side is normal, it can go up and down. You feel the price is high for you but if you set your target properly I think you can afford it.
You saying you don't know why cryptocurrency is worth investing, to me is because you know is worth investing not that you don't know, you know you can gain from it when you start investing but the question is. Before going into investing do you have the tool to lead (knowledge about Bitcoin investment) you in the crypto world? If you don't then seek for knowledge about it before setting yourself in it.

Israel - Romania

This is the game of the day for me without any doubts! My national team Romania is all or nothing tonight and I do hope our boys will put up a great fight , score goals and win the game and take those 3 vital points that will qualify us to Euro after a long break of 8 years...

For Israel ...the situation is just like ours ...they need to win or they won't qualify.

The home team need to get a win to keep their hope of qualifying alive. The Israel national have to come all out in this game but try every possible best to be careful in their defense  not to concede goal(s) if not the away team Romania would capitalize on it.
Both teams need a win like you said (like we all know, there have to be just one winner), with Israel on 3rd position with 12 point and Romania on 2nd position with 16 point, for the visitors (Romania) to stay safe on that 2nd position they need a win and not a draw.
If this encounter end in a draw I can assure you that Israel would win the next game against Andorra and it would be very difficult for Romania to get a win against Switzerland in their next game. To me I see this game as an opportunity for Romania to get all 3pt if they want to qualify.

The forum doesn't have any specific rules on the use of AI bots, but it does have rules on plagiarism. If the admins deem that you have plagiarized, then you are in trouble regardless of whether you used an AI or took the content from elsewhere.

The Forum is against it or are you telling me that is ok to make use of AI? If is cool using AI why do we have red tags on members who uses AI?
Plagiarism, spamming, use of AI are all against the rules, if caught doing any of those the offender will have to face the punishment.


Quote
Again, the forum rules don't discuss AI posting in any way because they were written long before AI technology was introduced. You are right about the second part of your sentence. Some signature campaign managers have rules that prohibit the use of AI software. If users are found to be using them, they will get rejected from the campaign and perhaps DT members might give them negative feedback.

But this isn't in any way connected to forum rules. We need to make a distinction between what the forum allows/disallows and what isn't encouraged by the community.
For instance, scamming someone isn't against forum rules, and you won't get banned for it. But such actions can earn you negative feedback by forum users.

I still don't understand why you refuse to accept the fact that is part of the rules of the Forum like the community kick against the use of AI. To me why it's the way it is, is because some users still choose to go against the Forum rule to use AI, like they see it as a perfect way of making their post look clean. We know some ain't that good with English but it doesn't mean that you must make use of AI.

Agree with this mate there are many users here in our community who are posting without knowing that their post is not just useful like for example in bounties board there are many high number of post but still newbie cause all of thier post is spam. But there's a users here in our community who are posting very good and contributed well In this community they make useful topics in order to teach  forum members.

That's another side of showing how good or should I say important in terms of contributing to the Forum. That's  where we have so many members who post and go off like nothing happened, from what you said these set of users don't put it to heart, they do their thing and go but with some when told them about how good their post has been helpful it will get into their head and with time you see them losing that ability to post useful contents.
As for newbies they're just getting into play so with time they'd realize that they need to straighten up.

They are many user out there still doing that  kind of habits, but in bounties board only,  in the global board such meta beginners and help then there are many newbies or users here in our community who are improving a lot such us they contributed very well and then earn some rewards and ad we can see there are many newbies who have earn a lot of achievements because of their contribution. But we can bot deny that there are also a lot of newbies don't care thier account as long as they can make a post.


The only award those set of people get is merit to their outstanding style of post and newbies let's say some of them don't really care about what goes on in the Forum like they post without checking if the post is in the right place or not (we all make sure errors), some of these users careless of their account is just annoying, because they're the ones who open account to go against the rules of the Forum and when tagged they see it as nothing and they continue doing what they're doing.
773  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Need advice on getting merits on: November 18, 2023, 06:09:56 AM
You can apply for Hugeblack, merit help for local boards, Fillipone, thread on sharing your best 5 posts for merit and  when you need 15 merits to your next rank, Ratimov, helps with the needed merit. And they're all on this particular board, you can take advantage of these opportunities to increase your merits, that is if you're not already doing so. I'm a beneficiary of this merit help, just like like many other members in this forum.

It's important that you're active in the forum and try as much as possible to make quality posts, because I believe that for someone to merit your post here, you'll have to convince them with a quality post that is relevant to the topic of discussion.

Finally I think that the merit system is not very fair in the hands of forum members, because no matter the quality of your posts, if nobody merits you, then there's nothing you can do about it.

I think it would be too early to start applying for those threads
Ratimov Fillipone Hugeblack.
If we're talking about a newbies looking for merit I think they should exercise patience before going to those threads, like get to know some certain things on the Forum before hunting for merit.
I can't say the merit system isn't fair at all, it has to do with what you have to offer, you having a very good post that "you" feel deserve merit doesn't mean you make other members to drop merit because of what you think.
To me I feel you just have to let the merit come when it's time, sometimes what you feel is quality post isn't that quality to others. That's why I think the merit system is just ok to me.

For your information the OP is full member rank, not a newbie, if he were a newbie, I wouldn't have given him such an advice. Check his activity in the forum and you'd have to understand where he's coming from. He's probably not putting in enough quality posts, but I'm not interested to check his posts.

My advice to him was to apply for these merit sources, that is if he wasn't already taking advantage of their merit helps. Of cause he has to up the quality of his posts to get their merit, the same goes for any forum member that needs help from them to rank up.

I however totally agree with you that newbies should focus on learning about crypto related topics and forum rules, before thinking of merit.

We're on the same page brother, I know the OP is a full member not a newbie, I can see that quite alright. What I said was channelled to newbies, that instead of rushing into getting merit or using those links, is best for the newbies to first of all go through things on the Forum before thinking of going for rank up or getting Merit from those mentioned links above. Speaking about how quality the OP's post are before going for those merit help, he already knows how much more he needs to put up to get his post to be up to standard and nobody need to tell the OP that, same goes to all newbies or new members.

I have been wanting to know the answer to a question in the forum for some time, the question seems simple to everyone, but to me the question is very important.

How to post on bitcoin forum using artificial intelligence system?

And is anyone on this forum using the AI ​​writing system?

What are the pros and cons of using AI writing systems?  

AI writing post against forum policy?

Some of these questions are making me feel you want to try making use of AI in your post. The Forum doesn't permit or encourage the use of AI in posting, it only signify one thing, that's laziness. Those who make use of AI to polish their words are just lazy, they can't make use of what they've upstairs to drop any thing that would attract people's attention.
If you don't know, just know that using AI is against the rules and regulations of this Forum and if caught (especially when you're in a campaign) your account won't be of any use to you.

Another game where we're suppose to see much goals but it seems we won't get more goals tonight. England are topping their group and they're suppose to give the fans a lot of goals to cheer about, it seems they don't have it in mind to drill the away team just like Portugal did yesterday ending their game 0-2, and it might happen in this England vs Malta.
Each time the England team start up a game in the international break their performance are not that strong but in the next game they just play with so much aggression with so much goals.
Some players are not suppose to be called up in that squad, Rashford is really struggling with form and this isn't just with the national side but with the Man UTD side, he has lost his ability of getting forward pressing oppositions. I feel they should let the man have a rest before starting him again.

I wont bet for a long time on them i had over 1.5 goals in first half and they didnt even want to attack in the first half. The fans should be mad they paid for the tickets,England just dont want to play just circling around like they are satisfied. Wierd that they dont want to score ,didnt see something like this for a longtime

That's another thing you need to notice whenever is their first game, they just joke around after all they've gotten the qualification they needed.
At first half I noticed the way they played, like it was almost full time and is so annoying to watch, that the problem with the 3 lions, they underrate their opponents and it will cost them when the time comes.
With the over hyped players I can't see them winning the up coming tournament, that's why Portugal are better than the England team, they (Portugal) make sure they get the job done and you'd see that seriousness when they play.

Newbie is not a rank one should stay in for long time, it's the shortest duration of rank on the forum if the newbie is active and knows what he's doing, we were all once a newbie and started like one sometime ago, such had been a ladder for us to where we are now, it may never had been easy in the past but when we give it every necessary efforts demanded, it will be our own pride later to have overcome the challenges of being a newbie.

Some never had the chance of experiencing what it takes to be a newbie, talking about those ones who buy account, they don't like stress and they feeling getting to the top doesn't need hard work. Newbie is the easiest rank to move out from like you said but being active is another thing to consider, some members find it hard to stay online to leave that rank. Seriously there's nothing to enjoy being a newbie.
