He knew he got lucky. United and Chelsea somehow forgot how to play even with all their talents. Liverpool had a shit season with injuries and everyone else couldn't have a deep squad while City rotated to keep everyone fresh and somehow find goals from midfield. But Pep himself said he wasn't ready for the season without a striker and it wasn't just mind game time for him he knows deep down he needs Aguero replacement.
Guardiola did not count very much on Aguero, he spent most of the season on the bench, so it’s hard to say that Aguero needs to look for a replacement. Another question is that Manchester City still needs a good striker, but Guardiola was doing quite well without that, the team's attack was playing well and a lot of goals were scored. Last season was a one off as I mentioned and even City themselves know it. You can't play without a striker. Period. Aguero has been their constant supplier of goals for every season before that. Pep himself said he needs to replace Aguero too, I didn't say it:) Well actually, he also said that he was irreplaceable:) Look at the stats and they created a lot of chances, but you still need finishers to convert chances into goals. |

MFS came before Bitcoin though so I don't think you can say it's preventing anything. What I can say, and as I've pointed out about Bitcoin before, is that it has to be easier to use. MFS (I actually just talk about fintech in general but mobile payments is an excellent example) shows us how mass adoption is actually driven not just by solution for need, but by ease of use:)
we know that. and also the reason more are using MFS even today. in my country, it's used widely in e-commerce for payment methods. they may purposely don't provide Bitcoin services because BTC is a threat to their services. MFS are often a business by big banks and preventing the spread of information of BTC will make them prolong their relevance. but i guess sooner they will be open for cryptocurrency too especially these days because they now understand that Bitcoin is here to stay. Same in my country. I mean obviously nobody calls it MFS but everyone calls it mobile payments. And it's been around long before we could scan QR codes and even long before crypto. It's easy when all you need is a phone number to send or receive payments plus no complicated thinking. Your prepaid balance is your bank account, and it's all easy to see in one place. |

Two serious boring draws last night busted me all over. there is nothing to hold back a total rebuild.
It would be incredible to see how the boys rebuild themselves and then again reach the heights of success. La Liga should be a challenging league and a club with a winning record will help boost their performance. Their starting is nice, and they have good chances of winning the upcoming matches. Everyone loves a good start but I prefer consistency and that should come in the way we stick to gameplans, formations, and players. Keep scoring, keep attacking, keep the club philosophy. Of course, winning and titles are the end vision but Barca needed this shakeup a long time ago. |

Yes, bitcoin still has popularity today and that is proved with the good movements from bitcoin price to reach the highest price so far, although right now, the price still struggling to back to that high price. The popularity of bitcoin will still increase, especially if bitcoin price can start another bull run this year to open people's eyes and see that bitcoin still leads the crypto market.
Price movements have nothing to do with popularity in use and network, just market demand. I wouldn't say struggling either, BTC has been just doing a slow burn the whole month. Remember, there's still 6 weeks left to Q3 and Christmas is the target to match and break the ATH. That will of course need a fresh round of FOMO but it's for sure coming. |

15/17 for me, as usual a horrible start. I really should quit these pools hehe. Now we just need Fati, Stegen, Dembele all back fit.
heh!  I know I know I know  Now the only thing I'm worried about is Barca supposedly in 1.6 BILLION debt, which is horrendous to learn (although maybe not such a big surprise). Guys like Fati are less than a year on contract, and if we cannot offload the high wage players, then we also lose the youth talents because we can't even sign or extend them. It's not yet big news yet so maybe I'm wrong but what a nightmare if it's a valid concern. |

...If he had used credit cards or the banks, it wouldn't have been mentioned.
Don't act as if the article was written to attack crypto. This news would still come out but not on crypto related sites. Don't read what isn't between the lines. I didn't say the news wouldn't have been published but the credit card or bank accounts being used (if they had, instead of Bitcoin) wouldn't have been worth mentioning in the headlines. No need to act, and no need to police the actors;) |

Legal to use, but just like any other form of currency, illegal to operate as a business without a license. Meaning, they won't stop you doing p2p and they actually know people do it, but you can't run a business and charge fees and commissions unless you have a money transmitter license. That's as far as I understand the law where I am.

Personally I liked how Barcelona played today as don't get me wrong but Barcelona game has circled around Messi for 11 years now so it's normal to see another style of game. The important thing is that they won and players felt good between them on the pitch so this gives positives vibes for a Barcelona fan which I'm not but still , I'm happy to see Barcelona playing good after Messi era. Also still a lot of games ahead of us.
Same here. I've said for at least two seasons already that we need to prepare for life without Messi, and the huge loss to Anfield already was the loud alarm bell that the club just continued to ignore. I also said I hoped we do lose badly last season in every competition so that the club continues to focus on a rebuild instead of delaying it. I guess with Messi gone there is nothing to hold back a total rebuild. |

Just want to add that I made a significant recent withdrawal, let's just say it was well over what I normally do. Price of BTC has been great and also it's been a while since I made a withdraw, plus my campaign earnings go directly to my Bitvest account too. It didn't go through hot wallet, manual withdraw. But PM'd admin and I got it almost immediately after that. Seems to have fixed the delays then?  |

You can use P2P exchanges which totally safe and there's no trace if you buy Bitcoin. It's a decentralized platform that gives security to both individual transactions. Like, - Bisq
- Hodl-hodl
- Paxful
- LocalBitcoin
Paxful and Localbitcoin are not decentralized. They are P2P for sure but when you deposit bitcoin (or even when you buy, and the seller releases, it's all going to their wallets AFAIK so you still end up trusting a 3rd party centralized wallet/service. Bisq and hodl hodl are better as they both use non custodial wallets. |

Green lights are showing. We may have to fasten our seatbelts because this will going up so fast. $50k without Elon Musk! Yey! It's already at $47k and I think it could break the resistance. It broke 45k already so there is no reason it should stop now. FUD will stay but they should never stop because this happens whenever they take their rest. The hacking incident might have contributed to this recent hike. Actually, it's not going as fast as it normally can but I'm really happy for this to be honest:) Slowly does it, bit by bit, a new high every 2 or 3 days after a bounce from the bear attempts so that's great. FUD should also keep going though, I hate it when it's all 100% good news, really not good or healthy for long term. |

I personally don't think he's that great, but it is what it is and strikers aren't so much in supply right now in modern football.
It makes sense for Tottenham to ask Man City a high price, to be able to get Kane. As you explained Kane's contract still has two years left and also Tottenham need Kane to get back into the big four. So Tottenham are trying their best to keep Kane, but because Man City are also very serious about signing Kane, like Man City will agree to Tottenham's asking price. Even though in the 2020-2021 season I saw a lot of Man City playing without a striker and relying on false nines, and it proved successful. He knew he got lucky. United and Chelsea somehow forgot how to play even with all their talents. Liverpool had a shit season with injuries and everyone else couldn't have a deep squad while City rotated to keep everyone fresh and somehow find goals from midfield. But Pep himself said he wasn't ready for the season without a striker and it wasn't just mind game time for him he knows deep down he needs Aguero replacement. |

Spurs City actually gave us a very good 18 points push. No surprise to see 11 corners from Pep's side and only 3 from Spurs. I think if only 1 more goal could be scored, it might have resulted in 2 more yellows to the end. Very good match for the neutrals in the end even if only 1 goal was scored. Tonight should be about La Liga right? |

Bitcoin still has to find a way somehow to be even friendlier to use.
Yes, it is really complicated for novices to operate. This is a completely new monetary system that is completely different from the existing financial system. Need to use and adapt to brand new software. In the future, when I start my Rainbow City project, an important module is Bitcoin education. I will create the simplest learning course suitable for novices on the basis of the existing bitcointalk. This process may be very boring, but I think it is very valuable. Thanks again to every old member of the forum who selflessly helped newcomers. And Bitcoin education that focuses less on the technology and more on the application. Just like now, if you go to get an Internet education for adults or older people, it doesn't even talk about html or www or http anymore it just talks about how to use it, and how to stay safe, etc. Bitcoin education needs to follow this style. Act like it's doing mass adoption, not like it's still a nerd's den for tech:) |

I took Atletico, Barca and Sevilla, but was very idiotic to put City in together in my accumulator so failed. Worse was City was the first game along with Atleti. I should have doubled down on the remaining 3. Indeed 2.1x on Atletico was so good odds LTU... too bad I got too greedy. Just watched whole Barca game and I must say I liked what I saw. They are playing fast football and Sociedad was nowhere to be seen. Griezmann and Braithwhite played big parts when defending as well, Depay looked dangerous every time he had ball in his feet. They only need Griezmann to find attacking form and Ter Stegen to come back from injury to again start dreaming about big things.
In the end Sociedad scored 2 goals but they did not deserve even that much. I had both to score on my ticket so good for them but they did not show much today, I had a feeling they are plying only to avoid total disaster instead trying to win.
You can't imagine how relieved I felt seeing Braithwaite take the responsibility. Now we just need Fati, Stegen, Dembele all back fit and we can have a bit more stability in the front and back department. I almost agree with you about Griezmann but I've learned all about not relying on him anymore. |

So of course, instead of the bigger picture that US prisons still provide a fertile breeding ground for crime and has also for decades been known for facilitation or such types of organized crime, Bitcoin is still the main feature here.
He simply chose a method of payment. If he had used credit cards or the banks, it wouldn't have been mentioned.

What a bad start for me, almost like last season! I'm counting on my team tonight to help me make up for the lost points but honestly as long as we get 3 points I'm happy. First game post-Messi era, it's a new dawn for us. Just hope we pull it together and don't get all the reds and yellows we started out like last season!

Not sure what you mean by this rule? If you have a streak of penalties you have a better chance of winning the shootout you mean? Didn't this also happen in the last EUROs though? The rule (or rather a statistical observation) is that the team that strikes first in the penalty shootout has a greater chance of winning than the opponent. And by the way, Italy was the first in the penalty shootout. In principle, this is easy to explain - the team that kicks the first one always goes one move ahead, and the second team catches up, so the first team has the right to make one mistake. Ah okay, so it's just a statistics thing but yeah, who wouldn't want to be the one having a perfect streak in penalties right? Yet we have also to look at the whole picture. If you put your best 3 in first, maybe the pressure is bigger on the weaker ones. Maybe better to give the weaker ones FIRST and let the 3 best takers at the end who may not be as affected by pressure? |

Thank you! I'm putting in my predictions but I wish I'd done it earlier as the ones I really wanted were already taken BUT maybe I just copy someone and put a different tie breaker;) Would anyone be mad if I did this? Sportsbet users are such a privileged bunch of people don't you agree? |
