With the situation not improving, of course many will be overwhelmed by excessive fear and will take very detrimental actions by selling prematurely, feeling that is the best way before the price goes down further. I also agree with you that I hope that investors will continue to hold it because sometimes this is something temporary and will return to normal. I think a correction of up to close to $20K could happen, and this will certainly affect altcoins. You are right that altcoins that are good will be able to continue moving along with bitcoin, but on the other hand, those that are not capable will actually get worse.Therefore, always analyze carefully before placing your funds in altcoins, because there are many potential altcoins that can be held and waited for in the halving era, which will be here soon.
I don't think many big investors have made the wrong decision in a market like this. Rather than thinking they have sold their bitcoin holdings, then I tend to see that they may have accumulated or something. The market allowed them to accumulate bitcoins as panic attacks often hit traders instead of investors, but now it seems that $25k will be maintained.

As I write the price of bitcoin is above $26k, but I know that is not yet strong support after yesterday's correction. Bitcoin can still easily lose value even when the price is trying to recover, but I hope things like this can change as time goes by towards the end of the year.

Manchester City is an elite club and we don't expect them to compromised their position. City have missed out on most of their important players this season, watching their crucial players been injured and they club still at their best performance is not a surprise to me because Pep Guardiola have already set out his team to be balance in all angles. He knows what to expect when severe injuries hits his primary starters, he made good backup replacement for these players. Kelvin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva are absent in the midfield and yet, the club performing at top level.
Manchester City doesn't have any big problems without De Bruyne in my opinion. Their performance is still on the right track even though De Bruyne's creativity is expected. Manchester City is the team that has managed to take all the points from its first 4 matches this season, which no other team has so far in the Premier League.

I don't think they will have any serious problems in the next match against West Ham either. Pep Guardiola has good players in his squad and it is unlikely he will have many problems while De Bruyne is injured. Bernardo, Foden, Kovacic and several other players can be relied on, but Pep Guardiola seems to have a different approach for his team even in Grealish's absence.

Paul Pockba's career is in danger right now, when he is accused of taking drops, it is decided to get him drop tested and the report of drop test is positive he has taken drops. If someone is accused of this, if proven, he is banned for four years, maybe something like that is going to happen to Paul Pogba. The French star, who has already missed most of the season due to injury, has been proven against him again, meaning his career is about to end at this moment. If he is banned for four years he will not be able to return to football. The star is already old enough, along with injury problems, that the ban could spell the end of his career.
The use of such drugs is strictly prohibited in football or sport in general, but somehow Pogba seems to have broken it. I don't really expect him to do that because of the risks to his career if proven, but the career path of a footballer is very uncertain.

In the past, many Brazilian players ended up throwing away their football careers due to drinking and drug use. I don't really remember who they were, but I honestly didn't expect Pogba to end his football career in that way. Of course that would have a bad effect on him, but I wonder if that's true?

I think both options are good, but it still depends on which match you prefer.
I think there are times to use big bets for small odds and there are times to bet at big odds with small bets. It all depends on who is going to play the match so I am not as consistent as other people in my decisions. This means that analysis is required and bets must be placed on which team has the potential to win.

Westham may not have been beaten and played very impressively at the start of this season. They also played quite consistently, making a significant difference to their performance last season. It is possible that Westham will score a goal against Man City and the match will be quite tough. But in the end, Man City is also like that, even having won 4 big wins. With a stronger lineup than other teams, with consistency and performance that continues to improve, I think Man City will not let Westham get ahead of them. Even though Westham played well, I still believe that in the future, Man City will still be the winner in this match. Whether with a lot of scores as usual or just a few superior scores, what is certain is that here, Man City does have more advantages in every line.
In the end, everyone will probably doubt West Ham if Manchester City's squad depth is the benchmark. West Ham have had good form so far, but Manchester City are a different team compared to their previous 4 opponents. I don't see Manchester City falling into trouble even without De Bruyne, but they are still a very strong team with the current squad.

Manchester City's victory is clearly not guaranteed at London Stadium, but I believe Manchester City is the team that will win 3 points there. Haaland is still unstoppable, so I will pay attention to him in that match.

They both extended their contract by just one year. They know they're old and will need to move on soon. Modric and Kroos understand this.
But I tell you what, when the season gets tough and Madrid starts playing tough matches in the UCL and the league it will be Modric and Kroos that will start and save Madrid. We saw it last season. There's no midfielder in Madrid as creative as Modric. None of the midfielders in Madrid right now is better than Modric. They are very good ballers.
Ancelotti might feel like he doesn't need them or maybe he just wants to see what these young players have to offer but Modric and Kroos will still take their place.

Camavinga will most likely go back to the right-back position when Cavaja goes on his usual injury in crucial times. Valverde is not starting in midfield ahead of Modric. So that leaves only Bellingham and Tchouameni. Tchouameni is the only DM Madrid has so he might start if Camavinga plays RB.
I believe in tough matches Madrid will play a midfield of Tchouameni, Modric and Bellingham that's if Camavinga is at RB.
Tactically I agree with you, but I have doubts about the result because Ancelotti is faced with several problems. The team has lost several important players in defense, goalkeeper and also in attack, so I don't think it will be easy to make any adjustments without detrimental consequences.

I hope Ancelotti has a good way to maintain Real Madrid's performance even though his squad has shortcomings, but I'm sure this will not be an easy task. I don't know, but let's wait and see what will happen in the next match.

Some people don't wait for the dip and buy bitcoin whenever they have extra amount of money other than daily use. The reason behind this act is that if you wait for the dip and occurrence of dip takes longer time then there is a possibility that your saved amount will be easily spend in other useless activities in a case of waiting for the dip.

I think it is the best decision but most of the people don't do this because they don't believe investment due to higher volatility rate. It depends on the economic condition of a person that when he can afford he should buy bitcoin because some people will not be able to afford at higher and some will miss the opportunity by waiting for the lowering worth
Waiting for a dip is fine, but they can also do that with DCA. Dollar Cost Averaging is intended to give you the opportunity so that if at any time the price of the asset you invest in falls lower than the initial purchase price, then you still have a budget to accumulate it. Experienced investors certainly implement this strategy when investing, but lump sums are also not something that is prohibited.

But it is always good to do analysis first before making a decision. There are times when a lump sum is better than DCA, but there are times when DCA tends to be recommended because the market is less profitable. So the point is that consideration and analysis are needed so that investment plans and goals can be achieved.

Honestly, Joselu's performance in his first match replacing Vini JR was quite impressive. In fact, no one thought that his contribution would be quite big in that match. With a goal in his first match, it really opened up the opportunity for him to stay in the first squad, if he could really be consistent and continue to play well. And we also have to see Vini's performance in the future, because after all, Vii is also one of the key players at Real Madrid at the moment. Ancelotti will definitely continue to think about various considerations and the right moment to play Vini JR or Joselu after Vini recovers from injury. We'll see in the future what Joselu's contribution will be.
I don't think Joselu is as good as you say, but I admit he had a good contribution in Real Madrid's win against Getafe. Joselu has not yet found his best form at Real Madrid, that's because he is still going through the adaptation process as a new player. There is pressure on Joselu at Real Madrid so he doesn't have good statistics in Real Madrid's 4 games so far, but I hope he can contribute while Vinicius is injured.

As a loan player, I think Joselu only has 1 season at Real Madrid and he likely won't know much about his future. However, Joselu is obliged to give his best for Real Madrid and that is why he was given the opportunity to be on the pitch. He can win his first title this season at club level, of course that will make him more motivated.

Inasmuch as this seems suiting to Bitcoin believers, I think it is best we keep our expectations in check. I am not saying that this is not possible but I will not put this to heart considering that nothing is guaranteed so long as Bitcoin is concerned.

Nevertheless,  a lot of beautiful things are lined up from next year that should see the price of Bitcoin soar but putting a figure to the price it will hit is something absolutely difficult and unnecessary because it such tendencies can create inordinate expectations that might result to irrational decision.
If you are a holder, then don't worry because you just have to maintain the plan well and get returns according to your target in the future. It doesn't matter how much time you have to wait, but bitcoin is still a good performing asset so far. I believe in the next 1 to 2 years the price of bitcoin could be 3-4 times higher than the previous ATH, but this is just something I believe considering the history but not as financial advice to anyone.

So far I don't know exactly what the percentage of long-term holders is compared to traders, but I am sure the percentage of holders is higher since Bitcoin fell throughout 2022 until now. There is good hope for the next cycle, so keep to your plans.

Also, in the next match, AS Roma seems to have been able to play Lukaku and thus, AS Roma should be able to get their first three points this season. After all, the fact is that Empoli also does not have a good record when playing against AS Roma and therefore, at this moment also Empoli still does not seem to have the ability to win. Moreover, if I consider the odds available at the moment, it is at least clear that AS Roma are very favored to win. So yes, I personally still believe that AS Roma will get a win in the match against Empoli in the next match in Serie A.
Even though Roma can only get 1 point from their last 3 matches, I believe Roma can win 3 points at home in the next match against Empoli. Roma have a high probability of winning compared to their opponents, this is something that will be beneficial even though they have not managed a single win so far.

Empoli is much worse because they have lost all the matches played. Moreover, Empoli will not be favorites when they visit Roma considering their previous 3 matches. I know both teams are hoping to win, but Roma should be much more favored at home.

We can only analyze the rest of the time that will answer and see in the next 7 years, this is not a short time bitcoin will definitely go through various things, maybe this scenario will be different and beyond expectations.
Yeah a lot of people certainly see in terms of history and its cycles, if for example trillions it is very possible considering bitcoin will remember every 4 years as a cycle.
People are certainly optimistic about the good prospects for bitcoin's future. There are many things that can be used as benchmarks to analyze it, but none of us can be sure. Bitcoin can move in any direction and its price volatility will not stop. Increased adoption cases will support high demand that keeps its value moving up, but of course the two cycles attached to it will never go away.

I believe bitcoin has a good future despite some of the concerns people have about it. This has motivated me to hold bitcoin longer than before even though at some day I will also put it on the market to sell.

The problem of Manchester United is wholistic and not a goalkeeper fault. The Manchester United teamis not stabilised even right from preseason time. Last season that Manchester United ended 3rd in the English Premier League table, we saw that they had good preseason and after the first two matches that they performed poorly other matches were excellent. This cannot be said of Manchester United of today where by no part of the team is OK. The defence is having deficiencies because of injuries, same with the midfield and attack. The team has to step of fully for the new season.
In general this is not a good start to the season for Manchester United, but I hope Ten Hag can plan something good for his team this season. There are many obstacles that need to be resolved and this is a demanding job for him. Considering that this is the start of the season, of course there are many opportunities that Ten Hag can still take advantage of, even though it won't be easy.

I'm not sure what would happen if Ten Hag were to fail to make it to the top four this season for Manchester United, but it would certainly put him under a lot of pressure. The Champions League results will likely put him under a lot of pressure if Manchester United lose and fail, but I still have confidence in his tactical abilities.

Yes, Barcelona is lucky enough to be in the same group as Royal Antwerp, Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk, ideally they will get through the group phase easily, but the reality is that we don't know whether Barcelona can get through easily or not.

September 20 they will have their first UCL match and face Royal Antwerp, playing at home will certainly be the basis of their motivation, 3 points are in sight it seems.
Nothing should be easy because each team will give their best to win the match. Barcelona, ​​which actually has superior quality and experience, is certainly expected to win the match easily, but in fact, several mistakes could also make them fail to win the desired points.

Barcelona is playing at home, it's good for them so people will think it's their stage. However, the Champions League has something that is difficult to predict, although we do not hide the fact that a team like Barcelona was able to overcome the resistance of a team like Royal Antwerp without any significant problems.  I agree Barcelona can win that match, but I hope it won't be easy.

I don't think Antony would get out this serious allegations levelled against him at Man Utd the same investigation that Greenwood was subjected to would also be accorded to him  as of now at the international level a ban had already been imposed on him back at the club level there would be definitely a protest against him by many fans who would express their grievances against him consequently might compound Man Utd woes after dismal performance this season, however I think Erik ten Hag should settle whatever disagreement or differences he had with Jando Sancho in order to replace Antony if he was eventually ban by the club now that the team isn't well strengthen.
I don't know what the case is, but if Antony has to get a ban due to the case that ensnared him then I think Ten Hag must be ready to accept the consequences. Pellistri is also a good option if Ten Hag loses Antony, but Jadon Sancho can also play there. I prefer Sancho to play in his main position on the left wing, but if Ten Hag believes in him then he can also get that role.

Apart from that, Ten Hag also has many options to replace Antony, such as Shola Shoretire, Amad Diallo and Facundo Pellistri. But of course, Antony is an important player in that position so it will definitely be difficult to get the same game when he is not there for the team.

I don't remember exactly September or October and the Fed didn't confirm it would raise interest rates, but they said they could continue to raise interest rates because the inflation situation is not really under control. Some recent news also shows that the Fed will not hesitate to continue raising interest rates 1 or 2 times before stopping raising interest rates. If that happens, it will really put pressure on the market and it will be even more difficult for us to recover before the end of the year.

The price has been trading above $26k but I don't consider this a good sign as without any positive news to sustain then a drop will happen at any moment. We need more positive news or bigger movements to be considered positive for bitcoin.
The bitcoin price didn't last longer above $26k, it has dipped to around $25.8k at the moment. I still see a big challenge for bitcoin to maintain its value, there seems to be a lot of selling pressure making it difficult for the price to recover without major support. People seem to tend to pay attention to negative news that impacts prices, but they react very little to positive news. This indicates that the index of people's fear of investing in bitcoin is still high.

Harry Maguire was close to join West Ham but he refused although Manchester United wanting him to leave the club.
I don't know why he didn't go on loan to West Ham for example with a possibility of purchase or if that was ever discussed? Anyway Manchester United stuck with him right now and he is accepting to stay although he was stripped from being captain and almost not playing with the team..
I somehow have respect for Maguire even though he is starting to get left out of his current team. Maguire contributes to the team even though recently he often makes fatal mistakes that cost his team, but he was a good captain for Manchester United several seasons ago. Of course I'm not going to press for a favorable opinion of him, but respect for Maguire feels deserved.

His mentality might not be as good as it used to be, his confidence as well, so even if he stays then I don't think his performance will be as good as before. Maguire ultimately had to force himself to leave Manchester United, I hope he can consider that next season.

Gambling mostly depends on luck that's why no one can say the exact probability of winning here. When it comes to betting there are casino sites that scam by showing the lure of big winnings. There are many gamblers who are too greedy and risk losing everything therefore, if you can control emotions the risk will be reduced control often leads to greater chances of winning. Until all the subtleties of a professional game are understood you have to manage a lot by yourself. If you regularly follow the target goal even after losses constantly improve your analytical skills identify the reasons for failure and compare the sequence of events and results success will surely come.
I'm not sure if there are any successful gamblers out there who are able to recognize their emotions without reacting in any way when they lose. But I can probably assume that the average gambler is bad at controlling his emotions including me.

I really don't want to lose a game regardless of whether it is a game based on luck or sports betting. Losing is annoying, of course that's not what I expected, especially since I've done a good analysis of the game I'm going to bet on. Emotions just appear, it is difficult to control it because most gamblers who lose can easily change their plans midway.

Agreed. Luton Town is seemingly the weakest of the bunch. For now anyways as there are still a lot of games to play. Having been just promoted to the EPL, they seem to be struggling and it’s obvious from the games they’ve played so far as they haven’t managed to bag a win.
The last game with West Ham wasn’t any better. They managed to score a consolation goal at the tail end of the game, perhaps in a bid to appease the home crowd.
They most likely have envisaged and are finding out about the stiff competition to be faced in the EPL.
Competition in the Premier League is very tight, meaning that if a team doesn't have a big budget to build a quality squad then they will sink to the bottom of the standings. This is a normal thing to happen in the best competitions like the Premier League, so Luton Town should have known for sure that they would really be at the bottom of the table if they weren't able to bring in a lot of quality players.

I don't mean to underestimate  them, but that's how it is. Luton Town must find a good sponsor and earn money from him to build a better squad. They can't count on all the players hoping to put in a good performance, it's difficult. Luton Town won't be able to, but are any of you expecting a miracle from them?

Some of the names mentioned are not very familiar, maybe because the price is below average, but I see that the loan players from Arsenal and Man City are under 23 years old, maybe they are loaned out because they have more flying hours.

It is natural to say that it is the poorest club but this is a new club that has just been introduced to the Premier League.

Yes, they don't have a solid strength, when the attack is good, there will be shortcomings, including in midfield or defense, we never know what the expectations will be. As for those who say that in the end they will be relegated at the end of the season, I won't say that much about Luton because it's a small team.
0 wins in 3 consecutive matches is proof that Luton Town is a team that is too weak in the Premier League. It is hoped that several of the players brought in will be able to make this team compete well in the competition, but it will be very difficult to expect them to rise and be in the top 10 of the standings.

Their defense is poor, their attackers are ineffective and they don't have many creative players to build a great attack. I wouldn't be surprised if Luton Town would be a hotbed of goals for the Premier League's top teams this season, that's clearly a concern on their part. Imagine if Luton played against Manchester City, maybe they would concede 5-7 goals.

Well, Sevilla have started this season just as bad as they did last season, i don't know where you got the impression that they are performing very well, they have played three games in La Liga this season and they have lost all three of them and they are rooted in the bottom of the table.

Having said that, it is going to be somewhat difficult for Sevilla to make it out of Groub B in the CL, but their fans might not mind if they crash out and into the Europa league, because they have a knack of winning that competition.
Basically there will be 6 matches that Sevilla will play in the Champions League group stages this season and I am sure some of them are still very difficult to predict. I'm not ruling out a good possibility for Sevilla in the group stage even though actually the average person thinks they won't qualify for the next round. Sevilla had chances although not as good as other teams, but we never know how they took advantage of those opportunities before they started their game.

Sevilla's main focus remains to qualify for the round of 16, but dropping to the Europa League is no big deal either. Sevilla have proven time and time again that they are the team to be feared the most in the Europa League instead of the Champions League, so there are certainly a number of things they can consider, including which to prioritize the most.
