A short amateur football story:

3 years ago our amateur football which I was a manager for won the double.

In the final game of the season there were three teams still in contention to win the league.
We were one of those teams playing against another team in contention to win. The third team was playing against another opposition who had nothing to play for.

Let’s call us team A, and the other two teams B and C.
Team and A and B were playing each other with team C playing an opposition with nothing to play for. Team C needed to win or draw and for team B to win against us (team A).
At half time in both matches Team C were winning and Team B were beating us (Team A) 3-1 with us (team A) having pulled a goal back just before half time. The league chairman was on his way to Team C’s game with the league trophy
We (team A) were having none of that though. We scored 3 goals in the second half including a late winner to take home the game (4-3) and the league title.
Tonight, 4 years later, Team B needed to win against another team in the second last game of the season to win the league. The final game of the season would be another fateful team A (us) against team B in which we could win the league once again if Team B dropped pts tonight
And we managed to win in the last game of the season.

We went down to watched and support the opposition against team b tonight.

The score in the last minute of the game was 2-1 to team B, dashing our chances of a league title decider in the final game of the season.
But…..

This opposition with nothing to play for scored an equaliser with the literal last kick of the game.

The ref called full time without even letting team B kick off again.

Ecstasy.
This Saturday, in the second last weekend in the city I’ve lived in almost all my life, our team can take the league title home for the second time in our clubs 7 year history.

I shall report back on how we get on, but tonight was one of those to remember forever.
Just reread that, I’ve had a few beers so excuse my poor articulation.

Basically, the team we are playing against in the last game of the season next week bottled it tonight against a team that had nothing to play and now we have a chance at winning the league against them n we

1/ @Excellion: “The #bitcoin is bad for the environment narrative has been lurking around for some time. More recently it has come to prominence because of bitcoin’s rise in prominence. This brings along all FUD; Tether, Mining etc.
2/ the reason why #bitcoin mining is a target for this FUD is because it’s so easy to calculate the energy consumption of the network because it’s transparent. You can see how many THs it is, you can calculate how many machines there are, and how much electricity it would consume
3/ whereas with the traditional financial system you have a very opaque layer over everything. You just don’t know how much it costs to produce and transport cash from production to bank vaults, atms etc. And how much energy the banking system consumes with data centres,

1/Does ETH2.0 sound decentralised enough for you?

- You need to have US$130,000+ to become a validator.
- the average person can’t run a node at home.
- the protocol hard forks at the beck and calling of a minority of participants.

Most people don’t care about decentralisation
2/ even though this is one of the main factors that differentiated #bitcoin from our current political and financial systems.
3/ the worst thing is that there is such a lack of education around other crypto assets vs #bitcoin. Everyone knows the bitcoin buzzwords and then they apply them to all other crypto assets even though they don’t apply. “Decentralised” is a great example of this.
