His reign was short lived though 

The way he set up that play was exquisite. He's been in the form of his life recently.

still can't get over his beauty against bayern

Heard Zidane is very interested.

It's interesting to see that a lot of people are settling for safe options, despite the fact that the Champions League this season has been full of upsets already (and we still have plenty of games to go). On paper Liverpool, Barcelona, Juventus and Manchester City should go through, although I'd only feel comfortable putting my money on Liverpool to be completely honest. On this forum, Juventus seems to be the favored side to take the treble this season, but I feel like their performances thus far have been lacking the champion mentality. Perhaps with the exception of their most recent performance, but then again Atletico was really really poor.

Seeing Liverpool in the final again would be ideal of course but I hope Ajax do the unthinkable and knock Juventus out

Your subjective opinion doesn't make this a good idea, in fact, as it stands now your concept sounds terribly inefficient and very cost intensive.

The services section is quite cluttered indeed but replacing that with your forum alternative is only going to partially solve this issue. I'm assuming you're going to make a bunch of sub-fora for each specific job branch. Now this will make things a little bit more organized but still inferior compared to concepts like XBTFreelancer. Since those sites allow you to set specific tags for each gig. That way it's very easy for the freelancer to filter out the gigs that aren't in accordance with their skillset. You could even go as far allowing the freelancer to set default tags on their profile and notify them when a new gig, that fits their criteria, is posted onto the platform.

On your forum, on the other hand, freelancers will have to continuously browse the forum (or multiple subfora) for new jobs. Which for obvious reasons is extremely time inefficient.

I hope you realize this will either require a lot of work or cost a whole lot of money (given this gains traction in the first place). You could avoid unnecessary costs by leaving the majority of the work to the users. For example: After the gig is posted onto the platform freelancers have a certain timeframe to apply for the job. When the timeframe is over the creator of the gig can go through the applications and select a freelancer, based on rating or work history or whatever. This action creates a private environment where the freelancer can view the job details, the creator and the freelancer can interact with one another. The funds are held by the platform and can be released upon request by the creator of the gig (If the creator is not satisfied with the work he/she can open a dispute and the staff will review the case). At the end of the process, the creator of the gig can rate the performance of the freelancer and leave a review.

It does serve a good purpose (you're trying to employ people) but if you're determined to stick with the whole forum idea it would be a definite no for me.

The thing I liked the most about this is is that he said:

Which, in my opinion, might reveal an iteration. So he might have bought more bitcoin since his initial investment or is planning to buy more in the future.

I don't really think he's going to reveal it. He has never been very open when it comes to his fortune in general. We don't even know how much this guy is worth. So as you said his investment could range from just a couple bitcoin to a couple thousand, who knows.

You've definitely been missing out since he's turned into a big bitcoin advocate in the meantime. He's a respected billionaire and is not very different from us to be fair, so I don't really mind him at all. He sees value and wants to invest, despite the fact that $10k is probably peanuts for him. But then again, I would do the same if I was in his position and had that kind of money.

Oh boy are they coming.
Never been bearish. Still Bullish.

It sounds extremely unlikely and terribly irresponsible for an exchange to leave all the funds to a single individual for obvious reasons.

Honestly, even without these new developments, it was pretty clear that we've got an exit-scam on our hands here. I'm not buying the owner-died-and-took-the-keys-with-him in a thousand years. The fact that he 'supposedly' died in India makes it even fishier because he could've very well paid a very big sum for a fake death certificate and gotten away with it. The more I am thinking about it the more everything starts to fall in place. He (and possibly people around him) carefully planned this scam.

It really isn't. With the ability to transact freely and in a (pseudo) anonymous fashion comes great responsibility. If you are too lazy to take a couple of security measures and give in on convenience (in exchange for your freedom and excessive service fees), the jokes on you.

As of right now, it is, arguably, the biggest problem in crypto. As the infrastructure, that allows secure peer-to-peer transactions, starts to become available (and it will) this problem will fade very quickly. But until then, stay alert and remember folks: "Not your keys, not your coins."

I like that mentality 

Correct! Unfortunately, his performance is massively overshadowed by Ronaldo's, who can add another historic night to his legacy. He really proved to Allegri why he deserves a spot in the starting lineup over Paulo Dybala. If Zidane can't get his hands on his main targets, Bernardeschi might be a viable alternative.

Definitely not our best performance in terms of creating chances but as you pointed out you've got to be sharp enough to convert these chances. And that's exactly what we did today. Happy that Lallana did well in his first start in quite a while. Overall happy with the performance going into the 2nd leg against Bayern.

Just another day in the office for big Virgil. Strong performance as usual, won 7/7 aerial duels (pretty impressive considering Wood, Barnes, and Crouch played). So glad to have him back to face Bayern on Tuesday.

It's funny that you say futures (I am assuming in an ironical fashion )because the first ever futures were contracts negotiated for agricultural commodities. Since prices of crops tend to fluctuate the futures contract serves as a hedge for the buyer and supplier against price fluctuation. Financial futures, on the other hand, are, relatively speaking, a very recent phenomenon.

I'm not sure if you've ever heard of HelloFresh but they basically put that concept into practice. With the addition of meat and fish and other protein-based ingredients for the customer to prepare an entire meal. They also work with subscriptions, so as long as your subscription is valid you receive a package every so often.

Sure but most larger chains still work with really low price margins, mainly due to strong competition. And I am not sure if the costs saved by cutting out the middle man outweigh the distribution and transport costs from the farmer directly to the consumer. And more importantly the lost convenience. Don't get me wrong I am all for cutting out the middlemen but I don't think we can replace low-margin supermarkets with a cost-efficient alternative (as of right now).

Which implies scoring at least one more goal than Liverpool scored (unless Liverpool doesn't score at all and Bayern Munich is able to win the match 1-0). Because if they draw 1-1 at the Allianz arena there will be no extra time nor penalties because Liverpool will win, on aggregate 1-1 based on the away goals (just like Machester United did last week). All you did is confirming my original statement since it seems to me that you are not familiar with the away goal rule.

Those are indeed very big wins against, consecutively, the 7th and 4th in the Bundesliga. This means they will be in great form and full of confidence going into the 2nd leg of our game against them. But I still think we are in a superior position since we were able to keep a clean sheet at home. This means that for every goal we score they have to score two to go through. If we are able to put up a strong performance against Burnley tomorrow and with big Virgil back in the squad, I am confident that we should be able to secure a spot in the next round. #YNWA

There are people who like to buy in bulk but, at least where I live, this is only a small minority (might be different where you're from). Over the last decades, technology has been making our lives more and more convenient. If your goal is to attract a large customer base you should always keep the convenience of your service in the back of your head. Because I feel like if your service does not make the current way of things convenient I doubt it will grow beyond a niche start-up.

If you're looking to be able to grow any vegetable, I'm assuming you will have to work with greenhouse agriculture technology because I don't think it's possible to naturally grow any vegetable in one single location. This is certainly possible but will be an additional cost since you need to buy and install the infrastructure necessary.

It's up to you to do the math and figure that out  .

So this is what I would do.
In Belgium there exists this concept of sharing a cow. You can go to their website and basically order a part of a real cow. Only when the entire cow is ordered the cow will be slaughtered and divided into equal packages (this to ensure that the entire cow is used and nothing is put to waste). As soon as 100% of the cow is ordered your meat will be delivered to your house for free (for more information you can head over to https://www.deeleenkoe.be/nl). This concept has been around for some years and has been quite successful.

You could do something similar for your project. Instead of directly assigning a parcel of land to each customer I would rather set bigger parcels of land up for hire. On each parcel, you grow a specific vegetable/crop. The customers are able to purchase a certain percentage of the land (or rather, a percentage of the vegetables that parcel produces). Of course, customers can buy percentages of different parcels of land that grow different types of vegetable, this way the customer can build up a diversified portfolio of veggies  . Around this concept, you can build a dashboard that allows your customers to keep track of the progress etc. The benefits of this, as opposed to your original plan, is that it becomes a lot more cost effective to provide these additional features you mentioned. For instance, instead of having to set up an individual live stream per customer you can now set up one live stream per parcel of land. Since multiple customers bought the parcel of land you now only have one live stream to provide them with.

So this would mean that people who are going to use your service will have to plan (or guesstimate) months in advance what vegetables they are going to need. This is why this won't gain traction on a large scale, especially since most people can barely plan a week ahead. You could counter this problem by installing some sort of marketplace where other people can put their vegetables up for sale. But then again why would people use your service when they can go to the supermarket and buy it there?


I really don't see how you are going to beat supermarket prices by 40 to 50%, especially since prices for vegetables are already pretty low since supermarkets buy in bulk and often times have very favorable deals with local farms. And when you're offering 24/7 live stream, which is a cool feature, but it's an expensive luxury for your model. Of course, as your model gains traction it will be easier to reduce costs but since I don't think it will gain much traction I feel like your model will be very expensive (initially).

I like the essence of your idea but the model as it is right now still needs some major tweaks before you can come close to making it into something that can actually succeed.

The #DeleteCoinbase movement is only going to hurt Coinbase if there surfaces a worthy competitor that is on the same level as Coinbase right now. This implies, as figmentofmyass correctly pointed out, low deposit fees, a clean UI and smooth UX. As of right now, there's no such competitor on the market right now and Coinbase knows that. Binance's attempt has not really been gaining traction, struggling to get a single bitcoin of trading volume on their main pairs. Binance is simply to expensive to use right now. I hope Binance Jersey is some sort of prototype for a final version on their main exchange.

Third-party custody is for obvious reasons (no need to school me on those reasons, thank you very much) always a problem but is something you have to take into consideration if you're planning on using any third party service that involves exchanging your cryptocurrency. The premise of this topic is the #DeleteCoinbase controversy and third-party custody is not the reason why the #DeleteCoinbase hashtag started circulating over the internet in the first place (despite it being a big issue when using these services but that's besides the point here).

In all honesty, it wasn't that unpredictable to completely fair. Real Madrid has been playing it's worst season in decades and PSG without Neymar hasn't been looking as lethal as usual. While on the other hand, both Ajax and Manchester United have reached top form in their last 3 games. So I really saw the Real Madrid elimination coming but the upset that Manchester United caused wasn't a big surprise either. Considering the form, the majority of the players of Manchester United are in after Solskjaer took over.

Sure, on paper. But sometimes it doesn't hurt to also look at the performances and I feel like Ajax season has been far superior than Manchester United's in terms of consistent performances despite the boost Solskaer's arrival has brought to Old Trafford. IMO Ajax displayed the best performance in the Champions league thus far. Especially Tadic, who in my opinion played the match of his life (Tadic got a 10/10 rating by l'équipe. Only 8 other players in history got the same rating).

I don't feel pity for either clubs, perhaps because I don't particularly like either of those clubs. But regardless I believe it's a very good thing that the oil-money hasn't persevered over genuine 'home-bred' talent. Especially since the champions league has slowly been losing it's magic as big clubs with lots of money-dominated (and they still do) the highest level of European football.

Of course, he is mainly referring to the people on the extreme part of the spectrum and not the majority of occasional gamblers. Despite the fact that he thinks negatively about gambling in general (which I do too) but that's besides the point here. The whole signature situation is a funny coincidence but that doesn't mean he has no integrity or makes the statement less valid. That's like saying that someone who works for H&M must have nothing against child labor. Gotta do what you gotta do to get by.


If you were brought up in an environment where this was never a problem and for some reason still contract the 'disease' and let it escalate to the point where it is everything you do on a day to day basis. Then it's your OWN fault and I have 0.0% pity for you whatsoever. If you know what the risks are before you get into it and still get addicted to it and lack the character to get out of it you ARE a degenerate.

Well at least in western countries Starbucks has become a household name in the coffee industry so from a promotional side of view it could prove to be very beneficial. Lots of people will think that  Starbucks will actually start accepting Bitcoin even though the bitcoin is turned into fiat first (which sort of defeats the purpose). But other than that I really don't get the hype around bakkt at all. Mainly because, or at least from what I have read about it (and I admit it isn't a lot), it sounds like it's going to be a washed-up version of  BitPay. Again not really where we want to be, or rather, be stuck at for an extended period of time. But then again it is a start and the ability to (indirectly) pay your overly sugary coffee with Bitcoin probably won't hurt Bitcoin too much.

That's the sad part of this entire soap. I really think it must be emotionally draining for him to keep kicking this dead horse, but maybe for a con artist like him it isn't or he has fallen too deep into his own delusion.


Litecoin would have probably worked a little better (however, doomed to fail eventually). But for Litecoin's integrity's sake I'd like to think he tried but the Litecoin devs firmly refused his bribes. At the end of the day, he needed absolute control over the development and I don't think he'd ever get that over at Litecoin.
