The Catalan side FC Barcelona is on the way to sell Robert Lewandowski this summer:
FC Barcelona is recognizing the need to sell the Polish striker Robert Lewandowski this summer due to his lack of performance. Robert Lewandowski has already turned 35 years old, for he became older with the passage of time, and his performance status is getting lower as compared to previous years
It was inevitable, and the only reason Robert Lewandowski's transfer was made possible from Bayern, was because Barcelona were desperate to get a striker during their bad spell. And now that age is catching up with our Polish striker, the Catalanians now want to jump ship which is fine as younger players need to be ushered in for the next generation of the Barca team.

Probably if Newcastle considers him as an option then yes. I heard that he recently had surgery related to his vision and wears glasses (maybe temporarily?). For a goalkeeper, vision is one of the most important qualities, but apparently it was a planned operation and there is nothing serious if Newcastle are thinking about signing him. Pope's injury is another force majeure event for Newcastle and for my fantasy team. This will be another forced transfer  Undecided
An option as a loan for 1 season would be better, not a permanent contract?

David De Gea is now quite old, if for example Newcastle only brought in to replace Pope during the recovery of 1 season then I think De Gea would be very suitable he is still quite skilled despite his age.
Loan option is a good idea if he turns out to be a performer and doesn't need more time to cope with the new team, but issue will be if he turns out to be too good then before you know it he will be demanding for more money and a source of another problem comes in...

Btw with goalkeepers, I don't think age is much of a factor as these guys don't really need to be active as they do less of the running on the pitch, so this not much of a worry for  David De Gea who should fit in well!

Considering mixers arent so much different from Custodial exchanges, if these guys rebranded as exchanges..can they continue to operate here?



Maybe its time to have some kind of geofenced forum, US users will not access mixer related content, and for everyone else no restrictions applied Roll Eyes
684  Other / Meta / Re: Was the forum better before without Merit or is it better now with Merit? on: December 04, 2023, 03:02:40 PM
I think both era's had/have their strengths and weakness, but I think the first era without the merit requirements was a great one has it gave us the freedom which many of us enjoyed!
But unfortunately this freedom was abused with spam on the forum, which lead to the era of the merit system..which meant any spammers of the forum would not rank up..and unfortunately I think the system of merit is broken aswell as most users have brought in their A game but because of language barriers not belonging  to the forums local boards or not fitting in into certain cliques some users don't rank up as the merit system doesn't favour all!!

Otherwise all in all, I liked the era without merit way better than this one, no hard feelings guys and girls Roll Eyes

I'm not sure what the negative impact of banning mixers on the forum would be other than no longer seeing signature of mixers being used by the best contributors - but the essence would probably be better for the forum and its survival.
The fact that mixers around here have the best incentives means them going down could mean less traffic coming into the forum and less active users altogether!

And with the likelihood of gambling sigs becoming the dominant services once again, this could mean the so called top contributors could become regulars in boards such as the Gambling board which for some reason is considered the hub of spam Roll Eyes

One other impact that will come from this is an increase in post quality as places in sigs get to become competitive...

Am looking at question 1 and thinking this might turn out invalid before the start of the round in the sense that

should both teams win but one wins with over 9.5 points and the other team wins by less than 9.5points

then this technically invalidates the question as we have no options to reflect this outcome @cro2 .Is it too late to make amendments to the question?

Code:
1. Euroleague's heavyweights Real and Barcelona have some tough away games ahead of them - Real is travelling to Olympiakos 
while Barcelona is facing Virtus Bologna. Will both Spanish teams manage to win their games?

*Yes, both win with over 9,5 points difference combined
*Yes, both win with under 9,5 points difference combined
*No, they lose 1 or both games

690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most gamblers do not believe they can consistently make money, that's why... on: December 03, 2023, 04:25:51 PM
As you've read the thread title, I'll continue the explanation here, as it cannot accommodate additional text. I've come across numerous topics and posts where gamblers express disbelief in the idea of consistently making profit through gambling. It makes me question whether these individuals are truly involved in gambling or if they're posting without the real experiences and knowledge.
The problem with today's world is that many of us just want to see the success side of things and never want to know the failures that lead to the actual success!
If anything,people need to be told that behind every success story, there is failure that was the foundation and lead to a change of mindset that cracked the code to become successful.

And when it comes to gambling the problem that's there is emotions which lead to greed otherwise when all these obstacles are overcome, one can build a successful story.

Btw, not everyone that is making it in gambling is winning genuinely...some use prohibited strategies such as arbitrage which makes them consistent winners  Tongue

Personally, I firmly believe that there are people who have achieved real success in gambling. What perplexes me is why many discourage gambling as a means of making money.
Unfortunately it's a small number of people that have found success in gambling which is why many users wouldn't want anybody to go all in and take it iPad a career, this should be strictly for fun and games and monetary incentive as a byproduct.

In the world of investments, you don't need to be a user of a product or service for you to be called an investor as
supporting such could be because the product is viable for it to be sold on the market, though the best investments come from those that one can relate to by being a user and in this example be a gambler and have first hand experience of how the product works.

But what percentage of bitcoin investors are gamblers ? I think less than 40% give or take as the people that invest are low risk takers and gambling already is known to be high risk!

693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The most important thing in a betting site on: December 02, 2023, 04:50:37 PM
Hey,

I wonder what other gamblers consider to be the most important aspect of a betting site.
Being more of sports gambling person, a fast and responsive platform is a must as I have seen some that take forever to accept and process a bet when it comes to live bets which is a deal breaker for me. Though reputation of the platform in the gambling world can easily be something to consider.

In my case, it's the speed of approving and processing withdrawals. Knowing that all withdrawals go smoothly, without delays or issues, makes me trust the betting site...
Not a bad feature indeed, but in this year and age taking forever to process payouts is unacceptable and doing so  could lead to chasing away current and potential customers towards your competitors !!!

The ban on mixers finally proved that the forum is centralized
Let's not mistake Bitcoin (BTC) for the forum(BCT) Tongue FYI BCT being centralized has been a known fact!

Btw BCT being centralized doesn't have a reason to have KYC as this is a platform to share ideas and talk about everything crypto, but should we have it...perhaps certain sections of the forum might have it where financial transactions, currency exchange etc happen but it could have a negative impact on the forum as many users
 could leave which is a reason I see it not coming here!
696  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin can save the USA and dollar on: December 02, 2023, 09:00:25 AM
Unfortunately it's not as easy as it sounds especially  for the fact that the USA don't have full control of Bitcoin , factor in volatility etc makes this an impossible task.. and if they print more dollars to buy bitcoin it kind of weakens the currency as forex is leaving the country...

To top it off a balance of trade needs to exist to strengthen the dollar and other factors have to compliment it such as employment rate has to go up, a good political atmosphere etcetera...

At this point the US needs good allies on its front as currently BRICS is also really squeezing them from accessing cheaper gas and needed commodities.

Rumors about Erik Ten Hag's replacement are getting louder and this time it is reported that Manchester United has a new option as his replacement and he is the current Juventus coach, Massimiliano Allegri.
To be honest, Erik Ten Hag's style of management isn't helping the team especially that the club has spent millions on players that it's failed to utilise and at the moment performance is in shambles, which suggests a waste of resources and pressure from fans will be building up to have the man sacked !!!

Btw an Italian coach at United, I don't know about this one...am doubting this move can materialize.

In fact, this change of Manchester United coach could happen if Erik Ten Hag fails to target Manchester United to be at the top of the standings
Are we really going to be dreaming about this top finish with the results we have been seeing  Roll Eyes & already these guys have underperformed in the champions league throwing away 2 important wins against Galatasaray which means they will be eliminated because we know United at the moment are an average team & no team is afraid of them when they face them...and who's to blame, the manager!!

But thinking about it, to build a team takes years and even if you buy the best players you will need team chemistry to be built and this takes time, perhaps Erik needs more time to get his act right.

Just thinking outside the box...

Considering the forum has a name to it for the person managing it in general, what would happen if this was transferred to a non US citizen to manage

the domain and all which would make it technically outside the jurisdiction of the US government, would this rescind this decision of mixers being banned?
