The annoying thing today is that things are very expensive that even if you are working in a good firm and having a nice people it is not enough for you to work there till you retire without having your own business. In the past people get lucky working for the government especially in the oil and health sector. These workers see no need to do any other work or business because the pay was enough and they did build houses and buy cars and do a lot of things until they are retired and get paid pension. it is difficult to see someone now relying on one source of income, and this is as a result of everyday inflation which has affected the world. 
Working in the government sector with a minimum or maximum salary will not necessarily be enough as a step to prepare for retirement because we have responsibilities for life, health costs, children's schools and so on. Now it is necessary to plan for life in the future and relying on one job with a fixed salary structure will not be enough. Building a business is an option that can be run by anyone as long as they understand what business can grow and people can realize the business with hard work and have the ability to develop.

The life we live is getting harder every day because the price of goods and other necessities will continue to rise while the value of the currency continues to decline. If we rely on one income, how can we possibly send our children to a slightly higher level of education and how can we deal with the economic crisis, inflation and recession that is occurring?

One by one the star players left PSG in the last few seasons, after Cavani, Messi and Neymar left, precisely this season PSG also lost the players they have relied on in the last 6 seasons, Mbappe has now officially become a Madrid player and of course Mbappe departure now leaves a big hole in the front line that must be immediately covered by PSG in order to remain a scary team next season,  Mbappe departure will certainly not have much effect on their dominance in Ligue 1, because there is indeed no other team that is stronger and dominating than PSG at the moment, but losing Mbappe will of course have a big impact on PSG competition in the Champions League next season.

The management continues to improve the team every season and even they continue to bring in a coach who is considered capable of handling PSG, but unfortunately until now they are still not able to get their first champions league trophy, currently PSG of course has very high hopes for Luis Enrique and of course Enrique also still needs a lot of time and support from management to realize their dreams.
For dominance in Ligue 1 I am not sure there is another club next season that can beat PSG because they have indeed formed as a strong team with a more even player capacity in all positions. Mbappe's departure will not necessarily make PSG have difficulty in the Champions League because if you look at PSG's ability, it is still sufficient to buy some of the players needed. Now what Luis Enrique needs to think about is how to maximize and try to find the players needed to help the team be more solid.

If management gives him the freedom to buy players, Luis Enrique's steps will be much easier. Because actually it is not seen from the big name but the players who are bought have the best ability to work together with the team. This is a tough task that must be completed and PSG can fix the team to be stronger when competing in the Champions League next season.

If we can remember the situation of Cole Palmer, we might have a better advice to give Alvarez in Manchester City. We know that teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid is somehow over saturated. For you to have enough playing time, you don't only need to prove that you can play good football, you also need to prove that you have the experience needed to be in that position. This was the exact situation that Palmer faced in Manchester city. Of course he was told not to leave the club, that after Mahrez leaves he will have more playing time. But Cole Palmer knowing what he wants refused and made a drastic move to Chelsea. A move he has not regretted till now. I will advise Alvarez to learn from him and make a bold movement to PSG if they sincerely came for him.
This situation is indeed very difficult and he wants to play in the first team as a regular but he still has to be patient because he is not experienced enough to play full time. I am sure that next season Alvarez’s playing time will increase and that is if he wants to stay and continue to prove himself to Pep Guardiola. Just need to prove that he has the best ability and can always be relied on, moreover he has the ability to execute free kicks and just need to improve his playing ability more consistently.

If in the end he decides to leave and maybe he has considered as you said. Every player definitely needs more playing hours because it will affect him to strengthen the national team and maybe this is one of the considerations that will make Alvarez eventually leave Man City.

On the other hand, it has long been rumored that Casemiro will go to the Saudi league and maybe that could happen next summer. However, I don't agree that Maguire should be sold because he has tried very hard to maintain his place in the main squad and he has no more problems after experiencing a difficult time last season. However, if all these players are successfully sold, Manchester United will receive fresh funds of 228 million euros and that is enough to spend on several new players they are targeting.

Do you agree with this list of players to be sold? And in your opinion, which players should not be sold and are worth keeping with their performance?
Man United is building a stronger squad next season and they will sell several players who have high salaries for the club's financial stability. Casimero deserves to play in the Saudi Arabian League and I am sure he will get a suitable offer because he still has the potential to play and it is not as competitive as the English league. Maguire still deserves to be maintained and given a chance because he is very loyal to the club and that was proven in the previous season after failing to join another team.

Wan Bissaka, Maguire and Greenwood should be maintained because I see these three players can still develop. It depends on how the coach makes the three of them show their best performance. For the other players I agree if they want to be sold, it is not because of poor performance but to balance the finances to buy some other players that are needed.

In summary, early retirement is a choice. The global economy is making it difficult to achieve it, but we can still try our best to plan toward enjoying it by saving, investing, and healthy living.  
If you live in a country where it is difficult to get a job, then taking early retirement is not the right choice. Especially if you do not have a plan after you retire and it will affect the life you live. Someone who dares to take early retirement has been equipped with the ability to make money in other ways because making decisions in a hurry will not have a good impact. Saving and investing cannot be done if someone does not have money and when taking early retirement steps. Have we collected money to run an investment or business?

Before the decision is taken, it is better to consider these two things and whether our ability to make money in investment or business has good prospects. If you do not take the decision, it will only complicate the problem and our lives will be much worse when there is no stability in getting money regularly and stably.
106  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many Bitcoins do you own or have you collected until now? on: June 09, 2024, 07:32:52 AM
I know about Bitcoin and this Forum in 2016 and back then it was quite easy to get 1 BTC just by entering a bounty or contest.
Unfortunately we can't repeat that time and now there is no way to collect bitcoins if you don't have money, except by joining sigcam which pays btc and even then there is a fairly limited value.

Those who have been able to survive until now with thousands or even hundreds of Bitcoins that they have held, it is incredible.
But most people have sold it at a high price in the past, but if you add it up now, then it is millions of dollars that you won't be able to get easily. 
Most people must have sold the bitcoins they had at that time and it is very unfortunate because they don't know the long-term prospects which are quite promising. If at that time people easily got bitcoins and still hold them until now, then their wealth is quite high. There is no point in regretting because we never know what the future will be like and our task today is only to try to collect as much as possible.

Maybe no one dares to say how many bitcoins they have because it is in line with anonymous. But for me not too much and maybe trying to keep buying with the existing financial ability. For yourself have you passed 2 or 3 bitcoins now?

Mbappe's departure from PSG certainly makes the opportunities for other teams in Ligue 1 to win the Ligue 1 title next season even greater, but is that actually the case? certainly not. Even LOSC Lille, who became champions in the 2020/21 season, almost couldn't get their title because the point difference was very small, IMO it's not about Mbappe leaving or not, but about whether PSG will experience a decline in performance or not. If PSG has unstable performance next season, then the answer is "Yes" for other teams in Ligue 1 who have the opportunity to win the title next season.
I doubt any other team can do it considering PSG previously lost Lionel Messi and Neymar but that did not affect their dominance in Legue 1 I believe Luis Enrique is much better than the previous coach, to defend the title will be easier for him to do. Ligue 1 is different and a strong team like PSG is difficult to beat because they have a much better squad and are supported by extraordinary finances.

The heavy burden that Luis Enrique must carry is bringing PSG to compete for the Champions League title. Because building a squad to be stronger and more solid is very difficult and he must really find the format of the players needed, not just big names.
108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: June 08, 2024, 05:03:21 PM
PSG wanted Alvarez, but City are adamant about keeping him in the team. Alvarez's agent informed him that PSG had contacted him and Alvarez was looking for an opportunity to get more playing time. Of course Guardiola does not want to let him go, but I also doubt that he will be able to get a stable place in the starting lineup, but if Guardiola wants to keep him in the team then he will have to give him more playing time.
It's just a matter of time and Alvarez will definitely get a regular place in the team when he is willing to stay at Man City. Alvarez's ability is also getting better from year to year and Pep Guardiola will definitely give him more opportunities next season. If in the end he takes the opportunity at PSG then the opportunity to play regularly at Man City will be lost and he will also lose the opportunity to achieve his best career in the Premier League.

Man City's front line does have a much better capacity so it makes it difficult for Alvarez to compete for a regular place. But if he can be patient then I'm sure Pep Guardiola will give him time because if you look at last season he played much better and always contributed to the team.
109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 08, 2024, 04:36:56 PM
It looks like Napoli will keep Kvaratskhelia rather than Victor Osimhen, because there is news that Napoli is offering Kvaratskhelia a contract renewal and it seems Kvaratskhelia is also willing to do so, and he even wants all the processes to be finalized before Euro 2024.

If from the business perspective, it would be better if Napoli preferred to sell Osimhen because his market value is currently high. Meanwhile, they should keep Kvaratskhelia because he is still young and has good potential to become a big player which will certainly give Napoli another big advantage if his market value rises.
If Napoli wants to build a stronger squad next season, they can use the money from the sale of Victor Osimhen because his market value is still quite high compared to several other players owned by Napoli. The proceeds from the sale of Victor Osimhen can be used to buy several other players as an option to cover several positions that are considered still quite weak.

Kvaratskhelia is still very young and he has potential in the future if the coach can develop his potential then the selling value will increase. Napoli need some other players for next season and if they don't buy other players and rely on the existing players then it will be difficult for them to compete next season.

Gambling as the case may be is something that is not being controlled by anyone provided that they had access to their internet and have a workable Smartphone or computer to use operate the gambling site although most of the country do restricts people from gambling but it's not applicability to all country and besides all games can one addicted if they focused on the game without applying some sets of rules on them selves before playing, and of course whatever that is being done excessively always have a specific action or the opposite side effects.
Almost all gamblers were not so addicted at first but they will continue to be influenced by curiosity every time they gamble and in the end they are unable to control themselves. Anything that is done excessively will have a bad impact, such as gambling or games and in the midst of sophisticated technology this is increasingly difficult to control, especially if parents never control their children when using smartphones.

For some gambling and especially slot games are the most part that I see in my place of residence and many school children play in the game. I don't know how it happened but this is influenced by the absence of parental control so they feel free to do whatever they like.

The arrival of Mbappe and Endrick has great potential to make Real Madrid even stronger but on the other hand, this will also make the battle for places in the first team even fiercer (particularly on the front lines). If Arda Guller ends up staying with Real Madrid next season, then he will also be in that fight. Obviously it won't be easy, because he has to compete for a place against Vini, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Mbappe, and Endrick.

This condition might also be a headache for Carlo Ancelotti because it's not just about determining the best decision but he must be truly transparent so that the decision does not give rise to assumptions among the players that might actually trigger jealousy and unhealthy rivalries.
For a team like Real Madrid, it is only right that there is competition in the fight for a position because this team needs the best players from the existing players. On the other hand, having several players in the team also makes it easier for the coach to develop players where he can rotate whenever he feels needed. Arda Guller will find it a little more difficult to compete for a regular playing position besides his capacity is also not that experienced.

It seems like we can see how when Cristiano Ronaldo was there and the competition for positions was quite high but it actually made it easier for the coach to make the team stronger because they could be played alternately for different competitions. Ancelotti must understand this condition and he will definitely make the Real Madrid squad much more dangerous for next season.
112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 07, 2024, 01:52:16 PM
He won't be the only name wanting to leave Manchester City, player's like Ederson and Bernado Silva too who wants to leave for Barcelona if the right amount is paid for him.
I'm of the opinion that Manchester City will struggle next season because they won't be allowed by the rules to over spend on players in my opinion.

I would love to see both Casemiro and Kevin De Bruyne joining Cristiano Ronaldo at the club Al Nassr anyways. They would finally do well to win a trophy together next season.
It's just a rumor and there is no certainty that he will leave Man City this season, from some media that I read he will only be open to negotiations when he has an interesting offer. Al Nassr or a club in the Saudi Arabian League has the ability to recruit him and that will be a consideration for Man City. If they sell Kevin De Bruyne with the team not being able to spend much money to buy other players it will be difficult for them next season.

Pep Guardiola must have warned about this and he must have a format for players who will leave and come. If Casimero, Kevin De Bruyne and Cristiano Ronaldo play in one team it will be much more sensational because they have managed to bring star players there as a whole.
113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: June 07, 2024, 07:51:43 AM
The point is that it is very possible for people to reach these gambling promotions which in the end when they are tempted by promotional impressions made by casinos by showing and promising tantalizing winnings then there is a possibility for them to think and try it. And in terms of convenience, it is clear that cell phones are far superior to PCs, I'm not talking about the quality but the ease of use where by using cell phones, people will be able to very easily gamble anytime and anywhere, there is no third party that limits because everything depends on them and as they like, and this is one of the triggers for addiction.
That's the reason and it will be much more difficult to limit gambling in the midst of technology that has been so developed and everyone has a cellphone in their hands and will be more easily exposed to online gambling advertised on social media platforms. Control is important for children who are still underage because if left alone they will definitely get to know gambling and in the end will slowly experience uncontrolled addiction.

Gambling is a promising business now and developers will definitely find ways to promote on social media platforms. Everyone will try to do their best for their business and without us realizing it has made an impression on our own children at home. This is where control is needed for children because if they are allowed to use it freely, it will be very risky for their life journey.

The good thing about Real Madrid is now there is no team to make them stop in the La Liga since Barcelona is not in a good financial situation and this time there is much more chance for Real Madrid than last season because of hiring players like Mbappe during this summer.
Also, they tried to expect the contracts of the players they needed. Some players are happy to play for this team even for a minute, Lucas Vázquez the player from Real Madrid said he will extend his contract with Real Madrid for a longer time and he will stay there for in the next season.
Money affects everything and modern football will greatly affect the success of the club by relying on money, but it takes good management in managing the team. Barcelona failed to maximize last season and they could not compete with Real Madrid in terms of achievements and now it will be much more difficult because Real Madrid has brought in great players from PSG.

Real Madrid has everything and that will force Barcelona to get out of the pressure but if the club's financial resources are not stable then I don't think there is a chance for Barcelona to break Real Madrid's dominance which is so strong now. The change of coach will also have an effect on Barcelona because they have to build from scratch again.
115  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Inflation Necessary on: June 06, 2024, 08:08:19 AM
But is inflation needed?
It is not necessary because it will cause problems for society and often inflation makes everything more complicated and in the end society bears the risk.

Why can't we just keep the currency at the same value?
The value of fiat currency will continue to devalue that's why we are advised to take it to a more productive place. Like trying to do business or invest because saving money will not provide added value for the future.

And why does it only happen to money? For example, the same wouldn't happen if we used gold as a currency instead. Is inflation a ploy that the government uses so people don't get rich off of savings?
Gold is different from fiat currency, the strength of gold can be seen when the economy is in trouble and gold can be stable to maintain its value. Directly the government also does not want inflation to occur because it can affect the stability of the country, but all policies that are implemented are sometimes not implemented properly.

If inflation is used as a tactic, then many countries will experience problems, unless a country tries to have an economic impact on other countries. They will try to suppress the currency of a particular country with existing policies and if a country's currency weakens then it will be quite risky.

Exactly, there’s no perfect time set to accumulate bitcoin, accumulating bitcoin during the bearish season can be beneficiary no doubt but looking at the market we can’t really tell when will any of these event take place like the bull and bear market. Although according to past records people still follow as guide I don’t think it’s necessary waiting for a decline before accumulation so from my thought why not buy using any strategy and hold definitely it’s obvious when invested properly we’re expected to see profit at the due time not the selling quick and price drama.
You are right because we can make a percentage of accumulation every time we want to enter the market to buy because if the price is too high we can use the DCA pattern and spare money can be saved to buy when the price goes sideways. People act according to past instructions where they will accumulate when the price goes down, whereas for the issue of buying bitcoins it can be done at any time as long as we can hold the bitcoins for the long term.

To buy is the same as using a strategy so that the investment has a value that continues to increase. For example, if the price of bitcoin is high and we can use the DCA pattern to buy gradually and wait for a decline to buy using the spare money we save. People's strategies are bound to be different and we must be able to adapt so that we can gain real benefits.
117  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell? on: June 05, 2024, 11:24:02 AM
Ive been hearing about situations where someone buys a coin for a certain rate and not quite long after,  the said coin drops in value, or  someone sells his coin for a certain rate and then it appreciates just after.
What's your take on this? Given the period we're in is it buy time or sell time?
If we talk about bitcoin then the steps we need to improve should be how to collect. Every market journey must have periods of ups and downs in price and that is normal, but bitcoin's power to recover has been tested so far. If you ask about the buying period then you should understand the market conditions even though most people make purchases when the price drops. Bitcoin can be bought at any time as long as you are a long-term holder and panic should be the basis for consideration so that you do not suffer losses when investing.

Don't panic because even though bitcoin has experienced a sharp decline, there will always be a gradual recovery. Bitcoin's strength has been tested in any condition making it one of the best investments in crypto. Buy and hold, that's enough to see maximum profit when bitcoin experiences ATH and that's where the profit you will get.
118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin not coin memecoin on: June 05, 2024, 10:46:45 AM
Will btc continue rising or will drop and fuk everything up
When did you know about bitcoin and did you study it first before saying something like this. The rise and fall of bitcoin is a common thing but comparing bitcoin to memecoin is a fatal mistake.

Does bitcoin effect memecoins on solana or base
There are conditions where the price of bitcoin increases have a positive impact on several other coins because the strength of bitcoin has been tested enough. Are you sure bitcoin will be the best in the future because if not it might be in vain for you to try to invest in it. The way you understand bitcoin seems to show an inability to invest because in fact bitcoin has gone through difficult events until it has succeeded in making itself the best.

It is better to read so that you have knowledge about bitcoin because even though people suggest investing in bitcoin, you don't understand how. Investment cannot be carried out when we don't understand because logically how can we carry out investment if we don't understand it.
119  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin become better on: June 05, 2024, 10:01:44 AM
The bullish season is definitely the season for bitcoin to pump. The government placed restrictions on crypto, they're trying to eradicates scam but we should also know that it's not easy to entrapped our ends. Bitcoin will trigger more bullish run for everyone but we should be careful not to get involved with projects that has do with scams. I know we're trying our best from our end but we should also craved for improvement and become a better status of ourselves in the system.  
There is no connection between fraud and bitcoin and that must be straightened out first because fraud is only affiliated with individuals when they run. If the government restricts bitcoin because of fraud then fiat currency must be the main thing to be eradicated because before bitcoin existed fiat currency had played a fairly important role in human life as a means of transaction. There are even many frauds involving fiat currency and much worse money laundering everywhere carried out by greedy people.

Separate fraud from bitcoin or fiat currency because it is affiliated with criminal acts carried out by a group of irresponsible people. When we who understand bitcoin continue to say the word fraud, this will actually have a wrong impact on beginners who read it. The system that is running is already so perfect in Bitcoin and will continue to increase from the initial process until now.
120  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: June 05, 2024, 09:29:14 AM
On the contrary those who trade on Bitcoin is highly exposed to the risk of losing all there investment and funny enough there chances of being successful and losing everything is actually 50-50 chances, that's why it surprises me to see how most people are so drone to trading that they talk about it all the time as if they can easily be successful while trading. Perhaps that's why whenever i hear most people complaining that investment is very stressful or difficult it use to sound somehow for me because I see no stress on Bitcoin investment if the investors focus on holding because even if the profit is not coming immediately but you will be very relaxed and enjoy your accumulation and holding then profit can come later.
To find out more you need to realize where the ability that can be run because trading and investment have different levels of work. A person who does trading must understand and that is done if they really know how. Investing in bitcoin is just talking about holding and when you do not panic then you are guaranteed to get profit in the long run. Trading is also not too bad when you understand how because there are many people who can also make profit in it. But not everyone has the ability to do it and that is why people choose to invest rather than trade.

I prefer investment because it is much easier and all we need is patience to hold. If the investment is done correctly then it is impossible for people to get losses in the investment. The level of accumulation and thinking to continue holding until bitcoin reaches the next ATH then we will get maximum profit.
