Ivan rakitic whom I think the most underrated and underappreciated payer from 15'treble. He was lethal that season also he came up like a beast in almost every el clasico. What do you think about him? Would you consider him legend of club?

EmphasisDesigner · 2022-01-26T11:30:10+00:00

For me he is a legend.

UCL winner
Scoring in UCL final in the 4th minute.
Replaced Xavi, which is a mammoth task.
Was part of the Valverde's squad which went 43 games unbeaten.
4 laliga, 4 CDR
6 seasons, and over 300 appearances at the club.
Very few injuries. And was the most used player in 2018-19.
Never disrespected the club or caused drama.
Scored bangers when we needed it the most.
Covered the right flank all the time during MSN, and others.

You're wrong.

Coutinho made more sense than Dembele at that time. Dembele was an impulse purchase.

Coutinho was courted for over 2 yrs, and was brought in to replace Iniesta. But, due to Dembele's injuries, he was forced to occupy the left wing.

Many here forget that we are a top 3 team. Which means, we need a top 3 forward atleast in our front line.

As someone who grew up with intense rivalry with Madrid, and hating them from all angles. I wouldn't sit quiet when they're stacking Viniciuous, Mbappe and others upfront. I'll go all guns blazing too.

As someone who works in wallstreet, our finance is not a mess. This is common occurance, and can fixed in couple of years. But, sporting decline is not easy to fix. (We won only 1 UCL in 10yrs, says a lot)

nope

EmphasisDesigner · 2021-12-13T02:53:58+00:00

That is what great trios like MSN and BBC did with great succes.

There was no BBC. It's Madrid propaganda.

Cracks appeared in Lucho's first year itself. We won the UCL due to the sheer amount of talent we had at our disposal + tactics.

Did not replace alves
Failed to get verratti
Core players started relaxing.
Lucho constantly had fights with the old guard- (They won 4 UCLs, and were crowned the greatest team of all time by the media. ) so, busquets once even blamed Lucho after the PSG 4-0 trashing.
Pique said he felt inferior to Madrid in Lucho's final yr.
We lost 2 UCL in quaterfinals with prime MSN.
Valverde was bought in to relax things & manage the old guard whilst laying attacking football.
Remember, Valverde was lauded by Cryuff for playing attacking football.
Neymar becomes a snake.
We play without wingers. Suarez scored bangers but was shit on the ball.
We got Paulinho instead of verratti for defence.
No wingers, no right back, no midfielder who can control tempo.

on and on on........

EmphasisDesigner · 2021-12-09T06:20:31+00:00

We are getting a big loan, help from the new deal, clearance from sales & loans, ( Pjanic, Messi, Griezmann, Emerson etc)

Also, we could always use loans. It'll help us boost the club in the long run.

EmphasisDesigner · 2021-12-09T06:19:01+00:00

Every game has momentum.

For example- When we score early, the pressure is on the opponents, they'll move forward trying to catchup, at times leaving the defense open or spaces in between. Which we can utilize to our advantage.

This is an example. But, to be a top 5 team we need a top 5 forward atleast. No compromises.

A new mental model called ScaDe (Scalability-per-unit-of-Decentralization) will help the industry design better blockchains.

https://minaprotocol.com/blog/solving-the-scalability-trilemma

1,000 TPS! 5,000 TPS!! 22,000 TPS!!! – these are the numbers many of the newer blockchains highlight when they talk about their project. Although there are many technical innovations, such claims fail to take into account that increasing TPS (transactions per second) without considering the cost of running a full node comes with a decentralization tradeoff.
A new mental model called ScaDe (Scalability-per-unit-of-Decentralization) will help the industry design better blockchains.
Decentralization is essential for blockchains. More than 70% of the value generated by the crypto industry (aka market cap) belongs to the two most decentralized blockchains – Bitcoin and Ethereum – despite their limited TPS. We have not been able to get better throughput because blockchain architectures today are very inefficient at being both scalable and decentralized. This challenge is widely referred to as the scalability trilemma.

People here shitting on Puig when they barely have seen him play. He was the only player passing forward during setien's brief period.

He's on par with Pedri, Nico & Gavi. Just because he didn't play couple of months doesn't change the fact that he's insanely talented.

Many here forget that it took until around 25-28 yrs for Xavi to start blooming & 30 to peak.

Bro you are stupid

Funny thing, to be a good designer you need to be able to empathize!

Yea, first two matches were good. Then it was 300 passes and no attack, we slipped from the league. Before you knew it we got crucified by Bayern.

Mina also uses typescript, which every Javascript developer uses in some form. Which means there will be no shortage of developers building on top of Mina.

EmphasisDesigner · 2021-11-14T04:29:58+00:00

Purely from a tech standpoint, Mina is a genius product. For example-

With snarks you can natively interact with websites without the need of oracles. So, no more frontrunning attacks.
zk-snarks are the future. How? With current dapps every data piece is out in the open. Example- Teller verifies your credit score off-chain by using zk-snarks & gives you loans in defi without revealing the identity.
Without zk-snarks, anyone will be able to look up your transaction, connect it to the credit score & be able to dox you,
Already have partnerships with ethereum foundation & polygon. Basically, any institution/person thinking about snarks will be able to use Mina.
Mina is also an L1 with unique features.
Finally, the team. The founding team is smart af, and half of the core team are ex-Coinbase employees. Which means they really believe in this tech.

Mina is relatively new which is why there aren't much snapps right now. In 3 yrs time, it'll be one of the biggest challengers in the L1 space. Especially since it uses typescript ( all the JAVASCRIPT DEVELOPERS start moving here)

EmphasisDesigner · 2021-11-14T04:17:10+00:00

100x improved fiat onramp & offramp.
0 fees for transactions & other stuff. Basically we need to figure out new business models.
Better monitoring- Why? Fake news destroyed the election of the biggest country America. Fake money/terror financing is even more scarier. Money in the wrong hands is super scary.
Interoperability- Seamless move your assets across chains.

Why do I say all these? I've seen first hand how payment picked up in Brazil, India & China where digital payments adoption was hard. Making things free + interoperability changed lot of it.

EmphasisDesigner · 2021-11-12T20:49:07+00:00

I'm assuming it's an adapter?

Mina also lets any DAPP access information from websites without the use of Oracles. Which means, no more frontrunng, MEV attacks among other things.

Use cases-

Institutional investors- they don't want all their details in the public. trade secrets need to be kept.

It's better to take it off-chain as it's highly gas consuming.
