Little late but thank you so much!


Yeah this was the one, no non-sense no registration pay up and decent speeds!


I'm done with proton and their services, over hyped stuff, and their free options mediocre with a stretch, I know it's free so I should not expect much but still way below expectations as well as cuts out of the blue. I tried then the pro version and to my surprise a lot of the IP were already on VPN block lists which kind of defeats half of the purpose of it.

Hi guys , hope this is the right section
So I'm looking for either one of these
- there was an privacy orientated VPN, I forgot their name, you could pay monthly at the same price as yearly, and the distinctive feature about them at least a year ago it was that they bragged you could still send them cash in mail, I can't remember their name or bookmark or anything no matter what
- second a VPN with servers somewhere in Benelux that has indeed speeds for 2k, no 20 times buffering for a minute of 2k video

Hope somebody can be of help!

I ran the Barcelona simulator and it was a bad result because I did the math as you said and not on the odds, so after seeing the actual odds of the game here is how it looked based on the example 6 posts above with Bayern, I needed to take look at the odds also.
- match against Real Sociedad at 1.9 I need a 22 euro bet! Loss
- match against Celta at 1.7, I need a 60 euros bet! Loss
- match against Las Palmas at 1.15 I need a 680 euro bet. Loss
- match against Mallorca at 1.6 I need a 1200 euro bet. I win!

I lost only 3 times I needed 2000 euros for 20, that's a 1% return over 1 month, it's close to staking rewards, so not working for me!


2x doesn't work, that was my mistake also, sometimes you need 10x because the next match has 1.10 odds.

I was browsing the mempool and saw that a block had fees ranging from 1sat/vb to 280 000 sat/vb
This tx was the culprit:

Worth it?!?

Where did I assume anything or claimed anything?
I never said about this being a viable strategy I never even shown what the strategy was, all I was asking was if anyone would look at the statistics, do the research and show how good or how bad or how non eventful this would be!

I am open to criticism for any claims, but I haven't made any and on the other side you haven't proven anything also.

I have done the math for Barcelona:
With 1 euro single bet you would have had 35 bets, lost 9 euros on losses and draws, won 11.45 euros,  a 7.45% return.
To win on Martingale you would have needed 320 in bankroll for 35 euros win, there was a streak of 4 losses with a 1.5. 2.0, 1.15,1.80 loss.

I will try to add Madrid and Bayern next time.

Please don't just read the title and hear me out as I couldn't think of anything better and shorter at the same time.

I have had a debate with someone about the martingale system which we both know it's failure but with adaptation and low bets low revenues, compared to simply straight betting for the favorite. The talk was about choosing top tier team from each football league and keep on betting in a side by side experiment for the entire championship.
Luckily for me it seems like the statistics are available , so I want to give it a try on past records for some like 5 teams, a straight bet on win, a bet on win or draw, and a martingale system with a cut loss at 5.

Do you think any of the strategies would have worked this season?
Which teams should I consider? My choice were Inter, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Bayern, Real, Barcelona and PSG but those are way too many!

Bill gates stopped accumulating wealth years ago, all his money is from Microsoft times, it's no different from the wealth owners of crypto would get over time, I am not doing a thing yet I saw my stash gain 1000% in value over the last 5-6 years, I'm not accumulating wealth I'm just enjoying a well placed investment.

Without getting into the political game you guys seems to play out more form ego than anything else, thing is everything is based in $.

I'm from EU, I buy a shitload of stuff from Alibaba (not express) so bulk items, I pay in Euros from my bank, the sellers think in renminbi, yet the deals are always made in $, I am joyfull now as the euros has gone up 10% compared to the $, I am sad cause they also raised price by the same devaluation, somewhere in between 5-10%, why the fuck should I care about their currency? I hear cheers that BTC will hit another ATH in like 3k usd, nobody looks at us Europeans who are still over 10k euros from that, everything wherever you go is still priced in $.

End of the petrodollar, great, like I care what Trump and those that voted for him drive the country to!
Saudi rial, pegged to the usd, Qatari rial, pegged to the usd, Oman rial pegged to the usd,  UAE dirham , pegged to the usd.
All oil all gas all LNG will still be in usd after this.

So what's the point of switching to those currencies when their value is still dictated by the usd?
FML, you check Brent oil, oil from Europe to Europe, traded in London and it's in fucking $.

The couldn't have:
The executive order on the tariffs on Chinese imports was signed on 11st of April, starting begin effective next day.
The announced CPI is for the entire month of April.

Most companies had immense stocks prepared before the tariffs date, all imports are less than 5% of the US GDP and some are not even making into the list that takes the CPI index, other things are taking time before being reflected in the price, going overboard with an example you import coal at 100% extra but it takes time till you use it for steel and that steel takes months before gets used in a house and that house will be ready in another half a year, so the price will reflect over a year from the actual purchase of more expensive materials.
If tariffs start to bite you won't see them sooner than 2-3 months, my nephew company for example has bought stocks for 6 months of supply  (from the US) scared that the EU might retaliate and slap US imports also.

Food and energy mainly oil was also down, US isn't importing anything from China here, and with oil down inflation will also increase less.
On top of everything else there is another thing, let's assume a t-shirt now cost 100 instead of 20, if nobody buys it it then they won't be taken into account at all since buyers will switch to 25 clothes from India.

Thank you guys, way beyond what I was expecting.

The supply isn't going down.
Even after a block reward halving the supply will be still going up, what is reduced by half is the pace the supply is growing.
We are adding 450 BTC each day now, after the next halving we will still be adding 225BTC, still increasing the Bitcoin available supply.
The supply won't go down unless more than 450 BTC are being lost each day, a fact I will simple label impossible.



I feel like this is copied from an two years at least old article, as the NFT craze is down by a lot and the metaverse is dead in its tracks, not even big companies dare to talk about it anymore, not since Facebook showed how much money they lost and how their metaverse is a graveyard full of zombies and ghosts powered by bots.

Everything works with electricity!
If power fails everything fails:
- you can't use bitcoin or dogecoin because you can't broadcast a transactions
- you can't use a CBDC because of the same thing
- you can't use a card because all the banks are offline
- and surprise, you can't use cash because every chain store runs on electricity and they will not be able to issue receipts not will a cashier do the math for your groceries and then wait two days till the power is restored to do the balance for all those payments.

Other than mom&pop shops with low volume that will take cash nothing else will run, every big business would rather lose than order their staff to take money and write it down in notebooks only to insert another day in the system, it's way too much trouble for one day of income.

Doing some research on betting strategies on football, so I need some of this info can it be either one
- website where a team records are listed with the corresponding bet to each result
- website where all bets for said league are listed per round
Would help it they would have at least 3 years archive and would cover at least the big four leagues!

Individual listing where I have to go for each round for each team are of no help, I already have that!

That doesn't add to 38 millions I don't see how the government could have seized LTC from the hack when Ethereum was stolen from bybit!


You are accusing exch of helping with the stealing or what?
For an article making it over here on Bitcointalk I've never seen something this biased in a while, even a police or law enforcement statement would be less than this.


They will return coins or the value of those if there is a criminal case against, if the coins are owned by a guilty party they will proceeded to confiscate the coins like it happened with Movie2k, the same happened with Bitfinex funds that have been returned and funds seized from SR that have sold.

You must really be some 8yo who has been left alone!

Oil doesn't just come out of the ground, cows need to be fed and bred, you need equipment to plow the fields to grow crops.
Once a thing in this chain becomes more expensive the finished product also costs more, once a war start somewhere there is less of that product so less of that finished product.

You will still make the same mount of potatoes from the same batch of seeds but what happens when you have no fertilizer or you have nobody to work the fields? What happens when there is no money the bank is willing to lend you to buy farming equipment?

Stop playing farmville and go to school kid!


You have to a special kind of moron to not understand that peace means economic expansion as everyone is happy and thinks about growing their business, traveling and more.

Royalty means nothing in nowadays Europe, I dare you to name one other king besides Charles, and not only that you for sure aren't European to know how bad some think of monarchies, especially in central Europe where we had a habit of assassinating them.

Why is somebody who isn't able to spell a single family name right thinking he knows something about Europe?


Diana was not royalty, she was princess by marriage and she lost her title on the divorce, go open a history book.

He hosted a crypto event from what I am reading here, the moment you're a speaker for such you basically put a tag on yourself.
You could blame some of the victims but let's assume a guy like Andreas Antonopoulos gets ambushed like this,  he hasn't flaunted his wealth at any point but everyone with a brain knows he must have a few dozen coins at least on his name, should we blame him for getting robbed also?

I don't like when living in fear and hiding in the shadows is becoming a a norm to keep you safe.

This is a bit closer to what I am searching for, not ideal but would solve the stable coin issue, although I would have loved support for USDC, I'm from Europe and I don't see a future for tether here.



Everything is risky, problem is accessibility, if I travel with a laptop full of wallets I'm also at risk for theft, I also risk every time I need to take the exchange from my wallet to an exchange to get those coins, the fees munching in the profit margin and so on. For an what they call investor that just gets his coins and stashes it away I would understand but I need liquidity on my available most of the time, I would love to deal only one one chain and only with one wallet but that would be just me going out of business.

Checking the forum to see what's the impact on the tariffs reductions and I saw this title, I was already going to ask myself what did I miss lately and how did I double my wealth without knowing, such a disappointment, but anyhow was there any talk at any point of a consensus for not reaching this target in a small timeframe? Did a I miss a bearish season completly?

Exactly, so I don't have to deal with gas when I'm just dealing with tokens


The news are the reason I asked for a wallet like this, I thought maybe there are some others that would have this feature and also would allow me to easily swap coins if I don't have any kind of funds on a certain chain.
Not a fan of metamask so I looked for an alternative with this feature.


You conclude wrong, I deal a lot with payments and most customers have moved away from BTC while my main funds are in BTC, dealing with 10-15 hot and cold wallets as I also need liquidity available would be impossible to manage and would only lead to a mistake sooner or later.
