Oh I had an issue with my bank that I wanted to stop paying for a specific credit card. However for me to do that I had to answer questions on where I am, how much I earn, if I do international transfers and so on. I was forced to comply, otherwise they would keep on charging me. Is that really how we do business in 2024?

Wow! This is strange. Normally there are some bank apps that ask questions when you need credit or debit cards but not to the extent of "how much I earn" and if I do international transactions" . I have only seen, your phone number, email, full name and possibly you mother Maiden name and some simple questions then they process the card for you. Probably the questions are different from different countries. In the decentralized system, only your email and password which can be used to login is okay. And not all those KYC. KYC system is even the worst in the world. Scamming and other fraudulent activities are more in the KYC system.

Yeah it's a European bank.. I wanted to terminate my relationship with that bank after that interaction but unfortunately I still need it for other transactions..

You never really know what you'll get with Lewis that's why I try to avoid betting on him. Every fighter probably knows his weakness and has a way to beat him but everyone also knows they could get knockdown by his power (Nascimento found that out the hard way). I think he'll still be a gatekeeper for a couple of years. I don't think he'll win a belt but he's still a fan favorite.

Yeah, Derrick is the type of fighter that is entertaining to watch, but pretty horrible to bet on. Unless we're talking about betting on a fight not going to distance (rather than on a winner), then he's pretty reliable, only 7 out of his 41 fights have gone to judges' decision.

He's 39 right now, so I'm not sure if he still has a couple of years left, but who knows, age is not as big of a factor in the Heavyweight as it is in lower divisions.

ps. Lewis has extended his UFC record for most KOs, currently at 15.

Honestly, first time hearing about USDT on Liquid. Sounds cool, but can you please provide some metrics?

Can't you read the links I already posted above for more information about that? 

The links you provided may be informative for you, because you are familiar with the Liquid network well, but it may be it's not so easy to find relative information for someone who is not. I attempted to find USDT transactions using the linked site but it does not seem to be easy.

I created this thread on fee comparisons across different networks for easy reference and comparison. It would be convenient for people to see numbers right in this thread, without having to spend time trying to figure out links. It would be very nice of you if you posted the numbers here.

Not all centralized exchanges support L-USDT, but there are enough decentralized services and exchanges (Peach Bitcoin, Aqua wallet...) doing that.
Some centralized exchanges are part of Liquid Federation so they should support it, like Bitfinex, Huobi, BTSE and others.

I'm asking questions not to stir up controversy, but to understand its current adoption and practical use cases.

From what I can understand, L-USDT is gaining traction but isn't widely supported yet on centralized exchanges. For instance, USDT on Tron or Ethereum is widely accepted across various services for payments. And Liquid looks promising in the long run, but at the moment, practical applications seem somewhat limited.

It's going to be an intensive week for Leverkusen: the last league game on Sat 18th, Europa League final on Wed 22nd and the DFB Pokal final on Sat 25th to finish the season off.
They could rest the key players in the league game but there's a risk attached to that. If Leverkusen were to lose to Augsburg and end their games without loss run, that could crush the team spirit just before the EL final.

Atalanta is in a bit tougher spot when it comes to resting time. They play the Copa Italia final against Juventus and then an away league game against Lecce on Saturday. And their 5th place in the league is still not secured, so they have to approach it seriously.

Hey mates, good day..

Crypto messaging apps are a new thing in the digital world. They're trying to combine the best of messaging apps like Telegram with the features of cryptocurrency wallets and DeFi tools. They promise to make it easy to manage your digital assets and make cryptocurrency transactions. Some people might find them interesting if they're into DeFi and cryptocurrency trading.

What do you think about crypto messaging apps? Can they really change the way we use digital assets, or are just there..

When you say they try to combine the best of messaging apps like telegram... I am moved to ask you what you think telegram is? Isn't telegram also a crypto messaging app? Oh, I get it, Telegram used to be a normal messaging app, but things began to change with them recently.
Telegram owns Ton blockchain and soon enough, the entire Ton ecosystem will be integrated on telegram, there is already an inbuilt crypto wallet on the telegram app.

So, now tell me, what other crypto messaging app are you talking about? Will that one be bigger than telegram with over 900 million users?
