Bernie Ecclestone and FIa said in the past that they will never introduce a double manufacturer for the tires.
IT is a big safety problem having 2 team building tires for creating an advantage for cars.

I think they will follow their rule and we will have only 1, Pirelli OR Bridgestone, and not AND.
I also don't believ that 2 tyre suppliers is possible thing. We already had 2 suppliers at the same time in past - Michelin and Bridgestone and it wasn't always good thing. Just remember contraversial Indinapolis GP in 2005

I made a post trying to remember who the two suppliers were during the Schumacher - Ferrari era during the 2000's then I saw your post.  

But yeah, it was Michelin and Bridgestone.  And the problem as always in F1 is it's too mired with politics...  Not really sure what went on during the 2005 United States GP but I'm pretty sure one manufacturer couldn't handle the competition so they started to use their connections at the FIA and it all went political.  Tsk tsk...  :/

Those were great times as Bridgestone were great tires to use in cold and rainy weather while Michelin excelled in really hot environments so even when the cars had difference the tires sometimes in different weather circumstances made the races look a bit more beautiful than usual.I think what is needed right now in F1 to add to the competition is to leave a free choice to all car manufacturers who are racing in F1 to choose any tire provider they see fit and to not limit one provider to this number of teams,free market means free competition but in FIA right now must be the politics who decide everything and we know everywhere politics is in not good things come out of it.
2862  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: benefits of having mature accounts at 3 casinos (personal experience) on: June 22, 2023, 12:20:20 PM
Thanks for share your experience.
Ok each site offers its benefits, but I have a couple of questions:
- is it really an advantage to play to get this result (i.e. reach a vip rank?)
- why not maximize these benefits on a single gaming account (and therefore get these advantages on a single platform)?

I strongly agree with this,rather than dispersing your money in three different casinos why not use them all to get the benefits of the incentives in what you consider the best casino in a much easy way.Personally I used to play at some other well known casinos but since December 2021 when I registered at Stake I don't play in any other casino as simply the major benefit of Stake is that it gives you that monthly bonus which is a big boost during the month and sometimes you may be out of money and you get like from 15 to 70 dollars monthly depending on your rank,rarely any other casino can match this type of benefit and that is why I agree is better to focus on which of the casinos you feel more valued,i.e you receive more incentives in the long run.

    -  I agree with what you said that we should only have a budget for slot games so that we can limit ourselves gambling in any casinos online, and in this matter we can also apply control to ourselves. playing slot games.

So these are good reminders that you made it OP for all the players who gamble in this crypto gambling. And this is really what all players should be doing although there are some who don't really do it in reality.

In fact is the best reminder as when you only let money that you can afford to lose in the casino balance and use only such balance to play slot machines you don't care much if you lose all this balance while if you leave more and more money there the temptation will become higher and higher and resulting in losing big amount of money in slots,we all lose in slots but when we only lose money we can afford to lose it is not that a big deal if this happens.On the other hand you will feel much more powerful and happy if you happen to win big with this little amount left to play slot machines.
2864  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stop gambling (sports betting, casino e.t.c)? on: June 22, 2023, 07:05:50 AM
The only way out and I think this is more related to casino games like slot machines which are the highest gambling addiction providers out there as you can win instantly or lose instantly and during such time your brain is like paralyzed while the reel spins,I doubt there are a lot of people who are addicted while playing sport betting and that because you have to wait a considerable amount of time before you see the results of such bets.

As my personal experience in 2019-2020 I was massively addicted to slot machines online as the providers making online games for me are much better than the ones who do provide offline slot machines and so I was hooked up to levels never seen before that made me even spend money I should have not.One of such days I lost a lot and it was after that day that I promised myself to not ever do it again,it took several months and a couple of years for me to discipline myself into playing only predetermined budget and that is the only way to come out,you have to have a super strong will in order to get out of addiction.
2865  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Still Gamble? on: June 22, 2023, 06:48:57 AM
The only reason people gamble is deep in our human roots and that is greed,as the prophets of all religions have said if you are happy with what you have you would be the happiest person on earth,most of us are not happy with what we have and we see gambling as a fast track alternative to get that huge win which sometimes in some locations in the world can be a life changing event.We are unaware though and do not think that by gambling 0.01% of people win and the rest lose their money and no one thinks of it before gambling otherwise they would not gamble at all.
2866  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Casinos Go Bankrupt Because of Player Wins? on: June 22, 2023, 06:27:55 AM
Is it possible for a casino to go bankrupt because a player gets a very big win?

I think maybe that's hard to happen if we look at casinos that are already big and well known. But suppose there is a new casino, and there are some players who are very good at playing, so they can win continuously, can the casino go bankrupt? or do they already have an algorithm or a way so players can't keep winning?

I think it is very hard for a well reputable casino to go bankrupt because of a single huge win,in fact these very casinos if you check in the slot machines as many of them have the big winners listed there in order to motivate people and if you see some people have won the max payout of a casino that maybe x60000 their bet with a bet of 10 dollars for example and that would be enough to make a casino not having enough funds to go bankrupt but not these ones.

Of course most slot machines are programmed to take our money little by little and if a casino has a huge initial bankroll the house edge of these games will keep them running no matter how big a win may be.

2024/25 will be my first bull run and I have been patiently buying and holding for over a year now.

Just wondering for those who were in the last bull run what it was like and how fast prices pump during the peak bull times?

Any advice on how to prepare when it comes to being ready to take profit?



I have been in 2021 bull run and it happened at least 3 times back then,first February 2021,I sold everything and I suggest you do the same as I don't know if 2025 will have another 3 bull runs,then it was in April/May 2021 and then in October 2021,the first one in February lasted about 2 weeks and that was also the case with the other ones with that of April/May maybe 3 weeks and some days but the average time the bull runs remain is from 2 weeks to 4 weeks and a few days max,so I think you have enough time to sell your coins at a huge profit.Congrats for being such patient,very few people have this kind of patience.

I got the golden spoon but I'm okay with it because I had random picks for Canada but nothing really worked for me. I might keep doing random picks simply because I'm so boring of RedBull and Max dominating that I simply don't enjoy watching the race any longer. What is appeal to F1 right ? No spectacle , no crashes , no real competition , no rivalries ...nothing. It's like we are watching the same season on repeat for 3 years already.  Sad

I don't know any golden spoon but of course you must have gotten the wooden spoon which is the prize that the least performing participant gets not only in this predictor but in every predictor that is run through Superbru.

I have to agree with you,the Canada race was extra boring.I think a good appeal to F1 would be to get the race done during Saturday if it is raining in order to give us fans something back to get hyped for,this to be done only when a team is dominating the F1 season for more than 2 years,of course when normal amount of rain is present just like it was this Saturday on Canada,that would be a nice rule to add to F1 but I know most likely many will disagree.
2869  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: June 21, 2023, 09:05:17 AM
Based on my recent way of gambling I think that playing responsible is for example when you get money that you can afford to lose from extra income steams and you gamble a very small amount of that money,this I am doing lately and I  think this is more than responsible gambling.

In order to achieve such results though it is absolutely paramount that your brain dictates what you do and not the dopamine we emit while gambling,so strong focus and extreme self will that will make you stop even though all of your body wants to continue gambling.

@BayAreaCoins wow that's definitely not shabby at all lol and 5000 refs is not a small amount, imagine them winning Lambo and you getting a cut (even just from ref interest!).

Also anyway I noticed a couple of days ago actually that the betting options for FUN price was a bit too good to be true, with a week til closing, and price even going 50% up would still cause you to win the 1.01x. Not bad huh.

I am not sure if the cut is given for the extra winnings as well? By extra winning I mean to say anything that is won from the freebies. If it is paid out then man, I am sure they are earning hell lot of commission on daily basis. For example, out of 5000 people there might be at least couple of hundreds who are premium members and rolling the WOF on daily basis.

Imagine the amount of commission this dude is earning from them. Are there any other members who has shared their story of referral with freebitcoin website. Because 5k refs, the commission and everything, it's just insane.

Is there a chance they might be earning 10-50K sats only daily basis just from the referral free rolls? Thats insane.

Probably the first guys have a lot of refs,I am also with less than 1 million in ID meaning to have been registered here early but I only have 25 refs as I have not done any aggressive affiliate marketing campaign while I know a lot of the early persons here have done so and the people with most refs are definitely them as once this website become the huge one that it is now chances for getting refs nowadays are very slim.

They do give commission from any sale they do or any buy they do for the FUN tokens and I can imagine if just 1000 people buy and sell daily the amount of satoshi that one gets without doing anything here is truly insane.

There are speculations about Arsenal allowing Thomas Partey to leave this summer. Honestly I don't really have a problem with selling Partey at that amount. The problem is also selling Xhaka as well. It'll really leave their midfield lacking in experience though. In as much as I want him gone too but not on the back of losing two of their midfield generals at one go.
Remember that the midfield is at the heart of how they play. Even if the new guy comes in and hits the ground running, we can't realistically expect two new midfielders to hit it off immediately.

Those would be bad moves as midfield is what wins or loses you games.For Xhaka I think he is a great player and still not old in age which means he can sure give again to Arsenal,I don't know about Partey but as you say letting two players go without substituting them with better ones is not the best of the moves in the summer.Also let's suppose you get two other great players to replace them,these new players cannot directly produce good results for Arsenal as they will need time to know each other and the new team,thus taking more time to be harmonized as a team and this is what Arsenal should keep in mind before making any move.

So I did not check all the games yesterday but seeing that great recovery from Moldova made me think a lot,how come a team who was completely dominated by Albania 3 days ago where they lost 2-0 in just three days to get the power needed to come back from 0-2 to 3-2 against a team that is the contender for qualifying.Things have changed a lot and dramatically in group E now as Poland is in 4th place and not that many games remain plus they have a strong game in Albania in September and also one game at home against the leader of the group Czech where in these games they may as well lose points.I think Santos their coach should be sacked for that disastrous result yesterday.
2873  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trade altcoins during the bull run or just hodl? on: June 20, 2023, 01:39:27 PM
Next year will be my first bull run and have just been thinking about what will be best to do when it finally arrives next year.

Do you plan on just holding till an amount you are happy with or is it a good idea to try and trade altcoins whilst they are pumping to earn even more?

I don't think that the next bull run is in next year,I think you misunderstood things,the next year is the halving of Bitcoin somewhere in Q2 of 2024 and checking previous history all bull runs have happened almost 1.5 years after the halving passed,so in theory the next bull run should be somewhere in Q4 2025 if history is to repeat itself.

It is stupid I think to hold the altcoins in the bull run especially if the altcoins have a great increase in value which would make a nice substantial decent profit that for some people depending on their location this may as well be a life changing event.

You have summarized what I have been trying to say for a long time. I always say projects that create real value and work on a technology, just like Cirus. But people take risks in a meaningless way Undecided

Now people are even taking more risks since they can buy a huge amount of SHIBA as the price has come considerably down in these last days and weeks when Bitcoin and altcoins prices were on a big substantial downtrend.The fact that people keep chasing these coins is related to Doge Coin,many people were mining them for fun and they were easy to mine back in the days resulting in huge amounts of such coins at the price when they were being mined were 0.0024 if I recall it correctly but one such coin reached to near 0.70 dollars or a bit more and these people made huge profits out of this coin.Now many people want to do the same with SHIBA and that is why there is hype between these coins.

I Want to Trade My House for Some Bitcoins - An Innovative Idea or Unnecessary Risk?

Hello, Bitcointalk community!

Today, I bring an intriguing proposal for all of you: I am considering trading my house for some bitcoins. Yes, you read that correctly! I am exploring an innovative idea that challenges the traditional methods of real estate trading. But is this proposal a can't-miss opportunity or an unnecessary risk?

The idea is simple: instead of selling my house for traditional cash, I am interested in receiving bitcoins as payment. After all, cryptocurrencies have been gaining prominence in the financial world, and many believe that their value will only increase. Could this be the perfect opportunity to diversify my portfolio and benefit from the growth potential of digital currencies?

However, when considering this innovative approach, it is also important to evaluate the risks involved. After all, we are talking about a P2P transaction, without the presence of traditional intermediaries such as real estate brokers and lawyers. This means that trust between the parties is essential to ensure a successful negotiation.

Another point to consider is the volatility of the cryptocurrency market. The value of bitcoin can fluctuate significantly over short periods of time, which can affect the value of the property involved in the transaction. This volatility can bring additional uncertainty and challenges for both parties involved.

I want to open up space for discussion and exchange of ideas. What do you think about this proposal to exchange a house for bitcoins? Do you see significant opportunities or risks? What precautions do you suggest to minimize possible problems? Please share your opinions and experiences, as it is through dialogue that we can explore all perspectives of this approach.

Let's debate and find out whether this is a revolutionary idea or just a risky venture. I look forward to hearing your opinions!

Would there be any altcoins with an ecosystem or some intermediary that makes the documents with digital signatures that can guarantee for both parties?

I would say unnecessary risk if you intend to sell your house for any crypto and not just Bitcoin,the house hold insane value nowadays where half the population lives on rent having an extra bill to pay every month,as long as you have your home where you live in it is stupid to sell or exchange it for Bitcoin or crypto in general.

Even if it is not the home that you live in and it is a second home to you the best would be to give it for rent and the rent money to exchange for Bitcoin or any crypto you like in general,this is the best path and route to have some solid cryptos in your portfolio.
2876  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: June 20, 2023, 12:25:07 PM
I find it a bit weird that Pep Guardiola says that sentence. I thought Guardiola will try even harder to keep him after he has played such an excellent season. Is it really about the issue that Gundogan wants two years contract and Manchester City will only give him one year? If he can preserve that level I would immediately give him a two year contract if I were the manager. Guardiola often emphasizes how much he likes Gudogan, but I think by now he says that about everyone but is still willing to let them go if the negotiations don't go in favor of the club. But again I think that Gundogan improved even further and he is so reliable during the game, he is not making mistakes and he increased his striking as well. If Gudogan leaves Manchester City and joins Barcelona then the Champions League title in 20"§ was the last one for him.

Pep said that caused by he knew that if the come of gundogan to the barcelona will be adding lots of power to the barcelona. Gundogan is now a sensational player. The fact that if pep has been also releasing the new statement he is wanna fighting against barcelona to keep gundogan in manchester city. The contract extension was already prepared by manchester city for him. I hope that if city will fulfil what gundogan wanted from the club. Barcelona sees him as a player that can push the club to be even better for the upcoming season since busquets has been leaving as free agent.
I hope he will always stay in manchester city yet gundogan has said if he is not yet deciding his future. I hope he will agree with the contract extension offered by city soon.
Pep really wants him to stay longer in the club.

I think Barcelona will be a strong contender in the Champions League next year and one thing is sure in my opinion and that is they are going to get out of the group stage pretty easily this time.I think so because they have improved a lot as a team during Xavi management and their focus was La Liga this year which they won and they celebrated like they should,now I think their main focus will be to do well in the Champions League as I am sure the Barcelona fans will be hoping for such a trophy as there is years they miss it.Barcelona is already strong like they are but of course when they get new caliber players is only natural that they will become even stronger.

For me though no matter how big a sport bet loss maybe,no matter how sad may I become because of losing a 11 games parlay for just one game and if that game hit I would have won a huge amount of money,these kind of losses can never be compared to when I lose in slot machines,in sport betting you cannot do anything more than going berserk and placing another huge bet that with money anyone of us can afford to lose or at least most of us can while in slot machines if that berserk moment catches us then it is going to provide really catastrophic results and lost amounts of money that can never be compared with sport betting.For me as long as people stay in sport betting addiction will be hard to catch them.

2879  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How to Care (Maintenance) Laptop that Used for Mining on: June 20, 2023, 10:16:31 AM
Hello friends, in this thread I will tell all the ways to take care of laptops that used for mining.

It's not the beginning of 2022. Video cards are very cheap, and it’s not worth buying laptops for mining now. Many laptops after mining are sold in 2023, it is better to write a few tips on how discount lovers should not buy such laptops. I would be wary of laptops that were bought at the peak of ethereum mining and have video cards that could mine ethereum.

Exactly,the power efficiency in Mhsh from a laptop is very little compared that with the price of a normal range laptop with a medium GPU you can probably build a full rig now for the same price as the GPU prices are considerably down and they will be further down looking at the situation that we have now.

The OP can of course use Nicehash or any other pool that supports Bitcoin payouts and be happy,no need to go the laptop route unless you have an existing laptop that has a good GPU and you don't use that laptop for any other thing.
2880  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: June 20, 2023, 09:28:01 AM

1. I see that I've lost more money than I could easily afford to lose. Just a bit more, and I stop.

2. If I win a good amount, more than 50x of my bet, I stop for the day, right away.

I agree with your first point as that can be very dangerous if people continue to go further south and the risk of addiction is exactly there.While for the second point I found it very difficult for me to just quit for 50x my bet but if your bet is big enough then I may agree with it too,personally when I play if I don't hit over x1500 my bet it is very difficult for me to stop,I do not play for x50 my bet as that is not substantial amount for me because I play with lower bets,usually the minimum one and with such bet I need at least x1500 multiplier in order to consider it a good day and a good win.
Basically, if we take everything into account, gambling only brings losses, so it's impossible to have wins in excess of what we have lost, so if you really don't want to experience losses, it's better to avoid gambling.
Who can win up to 50x the bet because there will always be defeats.
I can also immediately stop gambling when I get a win of up to 50x the bet, it's just that anyone can guarantee that win.

It's better to play with a happy heart and play a few game sessions for fun.

How is gambling a source of bringing losses to us when we are also taking the effective use of their services in playing slots on the gambling platforms having fun forgetting that money is being involved on everything you do while gambling, we should be the ones you exercise moderation in whatever thing we are doing while gambling because it has no limit to how far we can go but we can choose or decided to limit everything for moderacy purpose.

That is exactly what most people miss and that for a good reason as I have said before,the reason is that our brain emit dopamine a hormone that makes us feel good and as such we lost count of what we are really doing and how much money are we losing.We have to be extremely vigilant during the phase in which we are playing slot machines to check the balance every now and then before it empties out and we think then how come that we lost all that money during such a short time,in fact it is no short time,it is dopamine that makes it look short.
