Andy Robertson:
The ones I'm thinking about most right now are the family. Their loss is too much to bear. I'm so sorry that they have lost two such precious souls - Diogo and Andre.
For the team and the Club, we'll try to cope with this together... however long that takes.
For me, I want to talk about my mate. My buddy. The bloke I loved and will miss like crazy.
I could talk about him as a player for hours, but none of that feels like it matters right now.
It's the man. The person. He was such a good guy. The best. So genuine. Just normal and real.
Full of love for the people he cared about. Full of fun.
He was the most British foreign player I've ever met. We used to joke he was really Irish... I'd try to claim him as Scottish, obviously. I even called him Diogo MacJota.
We'd watch the darts together, enjoy the horse racing. Going to Cheltenham this season was a highlight - one of the best we had.
The last time I saw him was the happiest day of his life - his wedding day. I want to remember his never-ceasing smile from that magical day. How much he was bursting with love for his wife and family.
I can't believe we're saying goodbye. It's too soon, and it hurts so much.
But thank you for being in my life, mate - and for making it better.
Love you, Diogo.❤️
Diogo Jota’s last ever goal was to take us one step closer to the title by scoring the derby winner vs. Everton
Wore number 20, won us number 20.
Gone, but never forgotten 🇵🇹🕊️
Matthew Hayden played just 7 Tests in his first 6 years, but the story didn't end there, he made a comeback. He became only the 2nd opener to finish with a 50+ average in 100+ Tests. It's not about how you start, but how you finish.
Let's talk about Haydos in this thread

Hey Guys,
I've been thinking a lot lately about #KRC20 and #Kaspa and why the price action is currently so mediocre.
Kaspa has the major disadvantage that we won’t get Smart Contracts (Layer 2) for at least another 6 months. Because of this, KRC20 can never become as big as Sol, ETH, or BSC at the moment, since KRC20 tokens are currently just inscriptions.
However, once SCs are implemented, there will already be 10 BPS on the Kaspa network. This means KRC20/Kaspa SC could completely explode by then. And that’s why we’re here—to be first movers!
At the same time, we must ensure that KRC20 doesn’t hinder Kaspa. Right now, I feel like KRC20 is acting like a brake on Kaspa. Let me explain this briefly:
When tokens are minted, the rewards go to the miners. Many miners sell their rewards for ROI = money flows out of Kaspa.
When tokens pay for exchange listings, the exchanges want to be paid in USDT. If a project collects 1 million Kaspa to fund listings, that 1 million Kaspa gets dumped on the market = money flows out of Kaspa.
All tokens on CEXs are always paired with USDT. So when you sell your KRC20 tokens on a CEX = money flows out of Kaspa.
Now, of course, we still want to gamble on memes and be first movers on the best memes before the big hype comes. So, what can we do?
Why are Solana and Ethereum so big, for example? This happens with listings there too, right? On both platforms, memes are always launched via a DEX where, for instance, Sol + the token are paired. This means the tokens in the pool are effectively locked and can’t be sold at that moment. This is called TVL (Total Value Locked).
The higher the TVL, the better the L1 coin can perform in price.
Now here’s my call to action: While we don’t have a proper DEX yet (since SCs are needed for that), Chainge has built a functioning workaround that allows us to trade KRC20 tokens without money flowing out of Kaspa. On @FinanceChainge, tokens are paired with CUSDT (Kaspa USDT). This is also a KRC20 coin pegged to USDT. This means that liquidity and all trades stay on Kaspa.
Advantages of Chainge:
- Liquidity stays on Kaspa.
- Listing is free for projects.
- The community can provide liquidity and even earn rewards for it (you get a share of the trading fees on Chainge). This makes more sense than throwing money at exchanges like Biconomy or others that use donated funds.
- Chainge has an API. This means that, for example, in wallets like Ghostwallet (coming soon), you can swap directly on Chainge without visiting the site.
- You can use several other functions on Chainge.
Disadvantages:
- I find Chainge too confusing for beginners.
- Chainge is really bad at marketing (which is why I’m doing it now).
- The swaps take too long for my taste. I don’t know if this can be optimized.
-Sometimes swaps fail and need to be manually confirmed. This shouldn’t happen.
All in all, we need to work with what we have at the moment for KRC20 until Smart Contracts are implemented. That’s why I’m calling on all projects to collect liquidity on Chainge. As I said, you even earn rewards for doing so. Since many people say I’ve somehow become the voice of KRC20, I’m doing my best to make the ecosystem a success. Chainge is currently the best option to avoid slowing down Kaspa during the bull run. At the end of the day, Kaspa itself is still the most important thing despite KRC20.
Just my 2 cents
My Plan for 2024-25 bull market
- Hold my Bitcoin & ETH tight
- Accumulate alts slowly for the next
6 months
- BTC breaks $100k in Q4 2024
- Sell BTC & switch into Alts
- Ride Altseason until mid 2025
- Take profit aggressively and retire
my family
Easy 5x-10x from here
Pattern remains same, and the key to breaking free is to conquer FOMO.
It sounds simple, but tbh, it's incredibly challenging.
'Learn in ur 1st bull run, profit in ur 2nd, retire in ur 3rd' - not just pretty words, but reality for 90% of people.
I, too, have lived this truth.
$BTC is close to its ATH, missed it? No worries.
You can still turn $1k into million this cycle.
$MATIC made 300x after $BTC pump last bull run.
Wanna find next $MATIC? Ape in new shiny projects, no $ADA, $XRP, $ATOM.
Here're 8 plays with 100x potential for this cycle 🧵👇
$BTC is already nearly at its ATH, and contrary to what many might think, the altseason is just beginning.
The stages of a bull run: btc pump > eth pump > high cap alts pump > low caps pump.
In the first 3 stages, you can earn 2-10x, but 1000x is only possible with low caps.
New project I've got my eyes on. AETHIR. 👀 @AethirCloud
I will be buying a node from them for starting at $500 USD when they launch on March 20.
A.I narrative is strong and if you do your research on this one it looks solid.
Will continue doing my research.
