Thanks to Messi Barcelona has been a threat for nearly two decades now, that means something to barca fans, and not what we should use for comparison. Don't get me wrong, you can say Ronaldo is better, I just feel like he is not better just because he played on different teams, there are other reasons for it, and Messi is not worse just because he played in one league neither. If you want to compare them, compare their stats, not their league history.

This is what I meant when I said above that all the context is taken out of the cartoon,,, I also found it funny yes but it is totally an inaccurate depiction of either Ronaldo or Messi. Maybe it is more fair to Ronaldo as he wanted the moves all the time even from United days I remember the drama of Real approaching him all the time.

For Messi he had no choice, so was pushed rather than jumped.

And agree. Who is better will forever be up for argument, but you cannot use his success at different clubs to compare with one guy who was not only loyal to his club but to his wife since childhood Smiley

I still think these kinds of apps are unnecessary. Why would someone pay their toll in a less convenient way than just using their existing Rs?
Maybe you should double check how the app is going to work btw. It's definitely not perfect and more like another unnecessary gateway to use crypto, but who knows how many will use it.

Maybe you should double check how the app will work because I read and therefore made my comment Smiley It needs MORE steps than regular payment and as pointed out above by user stompix,,, this is not even a convenient method of payment.

Extra step to deposit fiat into another app (wallet) and then attach your tag to it, and then pay.

Why would I do that at the expense of using an untrusted custodial wallet?

But it's happening, and we will still need Programmers, we will still have software and Websites, etc. It's just not centered around Programming. Virtual Reality is not the Pinnacle of our Economy.

The way I see it, there should be 1,000 Steemit Clones already but some as Forums, maybe one as Amazon Review Payments, Maybe a Google Maps Graphene Chain to pay Review writers, there could be so many things already happening with what exists today.

I follow you or catch up sometimes in your other thread so always I find some things interesting,,, but I always wondered if programmers and developers are more needed than actual users. Maybe progress is slower with only 1 or 2 devs part time but I think it is always better to make something people will use,,, and DeFi is not sustainable because not everyone has use for it since it necessitates capital.

And there must be first, before the ability to earn, a desire to engage. That makes things succeed naturally.

Yes everyone indeed,,, BTTS is quite good but I took it a step too far last night, as the two late games after Juventus were only one-sided wins, I think,,, it could be that a wiser choice for a very big parlay maybe is over 0.5 goal for all the games but then again it just needs 1 0-0 to take it all down.

Still very happy with where I am even though 4 of us are tied in first place for this week Smiley

Hey everyone,,, just wanted to share I got 30 Bacarrat free bets I think was the rewards from Casino Live, and 2 banker pairs plus 1 tie and a few other wins gave me back a very good return! Thank you Sportsbet and Steve!



It is obvious that people did not realize how valuable that was, and I hope that by now people learned about it. look at Ajax, they are rarely ever good in europe, but they are always good at their own league and yes obviously Premier league is 100x time harder than Eredevise but they have managed to turn a huge profit over course of so many years thanks to keep focusing on raising talented players and send them away. At least there would be something to show for when you lose but have young talented high potential kids playing for you, now Arsenal has nothing to show for.

Fans especially are the ones to blame. Wenger stayed for a very long time without winning EPL and although for me if I was them winning Invincibles is enough memory and loads of Champions League every season,,, I know their fans wanted Premier League more and more. But they did not realize it was not Wenger but their bosses. Ajax is a big problem too though,,, players want to leave the club for fame and glamor and in a way this was Arsenal's problem.

Which is why I think local players from academy must be groomed so they feel more loyalty?

Confirming still down for me also even with various VPNs,,, does anyone know if there is any other place for anyone from there to make announcements? Their Twitter has been inactive almost a year from what I can see,,, hope not too many people fell for that scam, this is really a hit in the stomach for them.

1649  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or Gold: Superiority on: September 22, 2021, 03:18:56 PM
Gold price are going down and it is now not an best investment option for people and they are getting attracted towards other financial assets like bitcoin which is giving return unlike gold.Now people prefer to have some income with risk associated and high profits and gold is not the best option now.Those who were optimistic about it also have turned down the stones and made up mind of choosing other options as their funds are also going down with prices.It is now becoming obsolete with time and new technology.

Not going down as much as Bitcoin though,,, which is why I think it is quite silly to compare gold and Bitcoin in small snapshots of time. Gold has been around for thousands of years and Bitcoin only less than 1% of the lifetime. So yes, BTC is volatile now but maybe in 1000 years it will be like gold?

As much as I love BTC, Gold is still,,, gold standard. Undisputable for anyone:)

Hopefully, we are a part of history in the making...

Tell your grand kids about "When I was young, a single bitcoin could only buy you a couple of gallons of milk.  Now a single bitcoin can buy you a small country."

How True.   Wink

We need to thank the bumper of this thread, who reminded us about the story we have to tell our grandchildren. Too bad I missed out on when BTC was buying a gallon of milk, but I am glad when I got in, 1 coin could not even buy a return plane ticket for me to overseas but now it can buy me and all my family business class seats and 5-star hotels for a week.

Now,,, my problem is still trying to collect that one BTC, the ultimate dream!

New 4-3-free and Bet-6 are up on the sportsbook. The Highlight match is involving my team against Arsenal, the big London derby which unfortunately feels like it is no longer as prestigious as it used to be now that Chelsea is by far the biggest and best London club at the moment.

Draw seems to be the most possible outcome here right? Of course,,, I entered Spurs as the winner.
1652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: September 22, 2021, 11:39:46 AM
My guts are not consistent,,, sometimes good sometimes not. I put my picks in early as soon as they appear on my dashboard as coming in 72 hours,,, but there are times last season I think I forgot to login after a while. This is usually after international breaks or cup games and I forget.

But the default picks always save you and since they follow majority you are "safe".

Locking picks I do not find useful at all. I see everybody's predictions and I feel I did worse even before anything happens  Tongue
1653  Economy / Economics / Re: Inflation and protecting you wealth on: September 22, 2021, 11:00:22 AM
Something I know a lot of crypto people are against but I would still say is a legit way to defend against inflation is to take advantage of government bonds (or mutual funds in Asia).

The interest can be quite high almost 8-10%, guaranteed by government. If you can get your interest to be higher or equal to inflation, then you protect your wealth.

Commodities, stocks, art, these can go up in value but can also go down or in case of art even you may not find a buyer.
1654  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many BTC users actually care about privacy? on: September 22, 2021, 09:49:16 AM
All Bitcoin transactions are public, traceable, and permanently stored in the Bitcoin network.

Unlike the characteristics of "public" and "permanently stored" however,,, "traceability" for Bitcoin exists in different levels. Some wallet addresses are marked and everybody knows they belong to exchanges but with the use of several tools such as coin mixing, or even layer 2, or coinjoin, traceability becomes harder and harder.

And this is how the question is important for us.
1655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 22, 2021, 09:07:39 AM
They made a great cartoon. Ronaldo is back where he started. The young Ronaldo who proved himself to the world in the Premier League is gone, he came back to the world as a proven Ronaldo. Again, we see that there is no shortage of young Ronaldo. I think ManU made the best transfers in the Premier League this year.

Funny cartoon agree but,,, as usual all the context of what actually happened is gone. Ronaldo wanted to move (the goat jumps) and Messi was more like pushed off the mountain, so the goat should be falling into Ligue 1 Wink

Ronaldo went to prove himself to the world like you say, and still he is doing so. Messi only wanted to play for his one club but he was divorced by force.

Well done Betwrong and random Brazilian guy! When you think about it,,, those shirts on their own are worth a lot of money, and then to get merchandise together, you are owning a bit of English football and crypto history Smiley

@leea-1334 for all his shortcomings Wenger nurtured young player’s, and it was the board who sold them for profits and despite that he yet managed to keep getting Arsenal in the top 4 so he’s not to he blamed. Also currently one should avoid wagering on Arsenal unless it’s against a really weak team, and the odds are boosted by Sportsbet.

I think everyone who knew football knew this. The biggest problems came from their own fans and of course from some pundits who criticized Wenger and his supposedly outdated principles. He took all the blame also.

I think they are on a good run and would bet on them in the next big four match for a surprise though. Aubameyeng and Lacazette,,, as long as they both play, and bring Saka up, they can win easy.
1657  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Now you can pay highway tolls using Bitcoin on: September 22, 2021, 07:02:47 AM
So it talks about Unocoin behind this,,, which is an exchange and the article actually claims it is one of the earliest exchanges in India. For me, never heard of them but I am not in India so cannot say but everybody heard about WazirX Wink

I still think these kinds of apps are unnecessary. Why would someone pay their toll in a less convenient way than just using their existing Rs?
1658  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are NFT games also another way to gamble your money? on: September 22, 2021, 06:01:59 AM
but like most games like nowadays the grinder will always win. Spend more time (or more money) and you get more cards, more skills,,, and are always stronger than the guy who only logs in once per day.
Nope, After playing some popular NFT games out there (Axie, Dragonary, Cryptozoon), People who spend more money will get always stronger and get more stuff comparing to people who grind, It was because we are limited by energy or anything like that to doing some stuff on the game so the people who spend more will always get stronger, Even like that there are some good games like MIR4 that basically give you chance to competing with other people that paying more money, we are still on early phase of NFT games and we will see some good games in the future for sure like Iluvium for example.

Yes,,, that is what I said though if you look again at my response Smiley

The spender will always win (I said grinder but I meant either you grind money or you grind time). All of these fake games claim to be skill based and then they sell powerful items that grinders never can catch up with.

So if NFT games do not fix this broken thing,,, then the whole idea is still pointless.

This has to be my best performance ever in a starting week anywhere in any league for predictions. 1 exact and 2 close scores, and even,,, if I stuck to 2-1 I would be 2 exacts!

Did anyone watch the games and were they as exciting as the scorelines? Parlays of BTTS must be at least 4x.
