Regardless of how Arsenal won in their last game, I think they have managed to restore confidence and now Arteta has to really focus on facing the remaining few matches and now four points remain from Manchester City who are in second place, Arsenal must play carefully enough so as not to make mistakes. Manchester City's chances are still quite big and it depends on how Arsenal play the game in the next few matches.

Surprisingly Liverpool slaughtered Erik Ten Hak's team quite tragically, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino became so scary in the second half, while Manchester United were powerless and lost concentration, this is Manchester United's worst game this season.
No doubt this win is giving impact how strong they are for this season and win title no one was having thoughts after conceding two early goals they can fight back like this and have amazing win which bring back confidence and lead of five matches as well which is now surely going to help them for having good eye on this year's title even Manchester City is still having strong case for challenging them and fight back for to defend of their title, but Arsenal players are also full of qualify and confidence under amazing leadership of Arteta.

Liverpool's win is also shocking specially while you have score like 7 - 0 and all their attacking lineup firing it's good win and alarming for the opponents as now they are also back in their best specially Gakpo, Nunez and Mohammad Salah which were not at their best for last many weeks.

I believe we are still not in a bull run, even if bitcoin crosses $25k, there is no guarantee that it will continue to run up one circuit without a correction afterward. In view of the fact that we are still a long way from the halving, I can sure say that bear season has not yet ended. This year is still the right year to accumulate bitcoin and is the last chance to own cheap bitcoin. Once the halving comes, we won't have a chance to see 2x bitcoin again.
We are not on the actual bull run but we are heading there because the price didn't drop heavily. It only paused a bit but later on it could continue again hitting the higher prices. Correction can also happen but it does not totally prevent bitcoin from reaching its target. Time can fly so fast especially if you don't check often the dates.

We won't notice it that one day we are now at the halving event already so make sure that you guys already stocked up a lot of coins so that you won't missed this rare party. What I know is that the max value bitcoin can get is 1 million usd therefore 2x, 3x and so on is still possible for bitcoin even after a couple halving has passed.

Luck is an important factor in gambling it will not always favor everyone. OP has shared his big win but not yet shared his big loss. I think he has big losses too. After all he is undoubtedly lucky and experienced. He also asked some of his friends to bet there because he was very confident. ‍Such moments may come to many but considering proper money management and risk factors, many do not have the courage to bet and failed to big wins.
All of us has our luck and as well as bad luck but there is no way to tell when they will occur. There are times that you and your friend or other people are lucky all together but there are times where your results are different from them. What can we do if the OP only share his winning and not his losses? He isn't planning to open up a betting service so don't be pressured too much about it and besides, losses are more common than the big wins so this must be the one that one must celebrate.

There is no time to think about the negatives as it might only lead to negative feeling and possible revenge. We all know that it's bad in gambling.

Go watch the replay testing.

Then, you will know why they're gonna win in these years even my self fan of ferarri. During the pre-testing, it's crazy how smooth the wind was directly on their cars compared to other team.

The person who designs aerodynamics flow redbull is deserve a raise.
Lol, he is called Newey and the dude is the person who designed the most championship winning cars ever, he is not even close to anyone else at this point and just taking it further. No person has won as much as him, which shows how great he is as well.

Right now, Red Bull is pretty close to the floor right now, and to be able to do that without bouncing like Mercedes is a proof that dude already figured out the problem last year when others haven't, and others are trying to fix it this year like Mercedes seems a lot better, whereas Newey already took it a step further for the downforce and they are just simply taking the margin of victory higher at this point.

I think this is a reasonable action since the price of Bitcoin is still quite low, and then it will show growth. If I were a whale, I would also show everyone that I believe in Bitcoin and buy it. This shows other people that they can enter the market calmly.
It looks like an avalanche effect, and Motley Fool has launched its snowball.
It seems that influencers are fully aware of how they can influence the cryptocurrency market.
"Influencers" start "influencing" everyone to buy when the market is in ATH/near ATH during peak bull cycle? Why? Because they want to sell to us and take profit from us, the plebs, the newbies, the poors.

It's the perfect cycle for a new strategy. Buy the DIPs during peak bear market, and front run everyone if you want to sell. But if in doubt, just HODL.
They don't really need to do that because people will just automatically buy on their own. Now that we are close to the bull run, many newbies are excited to fill their bags with coins. I think move like this that influencers are doing, will fit better on the early days and on the middle of bear market because there are people who are still in fear of buying coins thinking it will dump more and they think it's now the end of the crypto market.

Overall, I still find this as a good news because I think they are sincere about this move. You know them big companies, they always do a DCA just like El Salvador and Microstrategy last time who reportedly buys bitcoin even if the coin is already at the recovery stage.

Bournemouth is one of the weakest teams in the Premier League. The Bournemouth team is now in 19th place in the points table. And so Arsenal should not have much problem getting full points in this match. However, no Premier League team should be underestimated. Because almost every team's squad here is good enough. Arsenal is playing very well this season. However, Arsenal has a record of losing against weaker teams this season. Arsenal lost against a weak team like Everton. And so the Bournemouth team should not be underestimated. Arsenal is also likely to lose points against Bournemouth if they make any mistakes on the field.
In round 26 Arsenal is going to extend their winning streak from three to four and twenty for this season because after losing against Manchester City at home now they are doing better job and having learn their lesson which is good because now most crucial part of this season after leading from front now it's time for them to boost their title hopes after many years Bournemouth is surely going down with their current form and performance both are giving impression their time is ended in Premier League, and now they have to pack their business for the Championship in next season even right now things looking interested because we have five teams which are fighting hard for the survival but most chances they could be in trouble.
1047  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What is the future of bitcoin without powerful nations? on: March 02, 2023, 06:55:50 PM

Bitcoin is designed against the financial system that is abusing the consumers for centuries. Since the financial system is under direct control of government, that's the prime reason why they are against the bitcoin.
I don't think Bitcoin is in danger because of opposition from government side. See how much bitcoin has progressed despite opposition from governments. Bitcoin is not only censorship resilient but also government opposition resilient.      
maybe they are successfully rejecting the advantage of bitcoin for the people but till when? nowadays people are learning and learning about the advantage of decentralization and with those? Government in the future will have no choice but to admit that fact and let people use and support crypto.
I know that this will take time but eventually it will happen.
as we are now counting more and more people getting inside this market and investing and using crypto as transaction payments.
I think it can still run for a couple of years up until many countries have successfully adopted Bitcoin and that is the time they will re-consider their decisions if they will now unban BTC or not. I think Majority of the people nowadays joined Bitcoin because of the potential profit that it can give to them and only a few of these people care about its decentralized feature but I guess that was still fine as buying and hodling was still an act of supporting Bitcoin.

We already saw how Bitcoin climb up to $69k last time. If only not because of the bear market, it still can reach for more. This only shows that BTC can do well without the help of other powerful nations.
1048  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The fruit of greed is never good,, on: March 02, 2023, 09:46:40 AM
Although the credibility of the story is in check, the message is clear still that greed is dangerous and can make you loose all your investment if you are not cautious. It is an attribute not to be accommodated unless it can be met with strong thinking to ensure that the drive that greed brings does not make you make a wrong decision. The greed that most people have is what makes them more prone to becoming victims to scammers who know how to always entice and lure these people.
Yes, the story seems somewhat strange, because Bitcoin wallets do not provide support for WEB3, but the only possibility that I see reasonable is that his friend used TrustWallet, this is a WEB3 wallet, which is a diversified wallet that can contain many coins in addition to bitcoin and can be linked through most sites .

If the wallet is linked to the suspicious site and they get a SEED then they can steal all the coins in the wallet including Bitcoin.
What about trust wallet? It's also a kind of web 3 wallet and it supports Bitcoin. Maybe this was the wallet that his friend use and his friend carelessly visit random links and connects the wallet when it was prompted. Other hacking scenarios would be if his friend enter his keys on a shady website.

So far only noobs will fall to these attempts as it was obvious already that it was a scam/hack if you have some experience in the field of cryptos. At first I wonder why the OP said his friend is greedy but I realize that maybe his friend click on a fake free crypto offers. Nothing is wrong with that, as we all love free stuffs but the main problem is that his friend only lacks of knowledge.

So with this result, Is Marseille eliminated from Coupe de France this year?, or still have leg 2?. If a big team like Marseille loses versus Ligue 2 team Annecy, I think the coach and squad must be careful also about the position on Ligue 1, It's not possible the position on champions league zone will be shifted by a club like Monaco, and Lens which has only 2 different points.
Just check few details about this match and with the outcome of this match is surprising as Marseille able to have one goal in injury time with this match ended in draw, and then we have exit for the second spotted team through penalties, and now we will have Annecy in the last four spot with Toulouse, Nantes and Lyon other three teams those are having their spots into last four and semifinals are going to play in April, but this second defeat in the row is surely not good for the Marseille after losing against PSG now they are opted out from the Coupe de France.

With current team's situation, most chances we will have Lyon as the champions of this season because they are doing good job and have good quality which can bring cup for themselves.

As a day trader 3 to 5% is very good returns and if you manages to continue at the 5% rate for the next 20 days then the capital will be doubled which looks too easr right but that's not the reality cause being consistent as day trading is not possible for anyone and you can lose the capital value in no time that is why stop loss can be a lofe saviour from huge loss for traders.
These numbers only looked tiny but the point in trading is that you can earn these percentages much often so if you save it all and sum it up, the outcome is still very decent. The difficulty of trading will only depend on the one that executes it.

If you are a beginner then you should also lower your expectations and there are times where you can't make that profit you assume. Stop loss is one of the popular tools being used in trading but I heard that so many experienced and professional traders are not really using this. They prefer the manual way. I think it also shows that they are hands on in trading and has a lot of time to look at the markets.
1051  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: March 01, 2023, 06:11:39 PM
Arsenal and Liverpool are both playing at home today it is clear that both teams are aiming for 3 points
Arsenal with the mission of securing the standings while Liverpool are targeting UEFA League tickets so there is no reason to miss this point
Everton may put up a fight because Everton also wants to get out of the red zone so I predict this fight will end with low goals.
For Arsenal I am still very confident about them but for Liverpool I am still very hesitant to bet there in this game,
Liverpool are the favorites in this match, but on the other hand things like this don't really have an impact because there are always a lot of bad surprises for Liverpool. Their first encounter didn't even go well for Liverpool against Wolves which made me even more doubtful about Liverpool.
Today I have believed in these both teams as both are desperate for winning and extending their lead even right now both are having challenge, but both are different with Liverpool is trying their best to have top six spots which is looking not easy for them because at top all six teams are giving their best but in last four matches Newcastle United is without any win and their next match is against Manchester City which mean they could be lost more points and this could be helpful for Liverpool if they are able to win their next few matches specially on Sunday while they will face Manchester United at home this could be vital match for them if they want to go higher in rank.

Arsenal is surely also having challenge form Manchester City, and they will try their best to extend their lead from two points to five because this will give them some relief after having worst results in last few matches, but now things are ok for them and their chances are still high for the title in this season.
1052  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The best time to buy bitcoin. on: March 01, 2023, 03:30:16 PM
buying bitcoin at too high a price will not bring great profit, and your holding period will last longer than others. I think the perfect time to buy bitcoin is when we're in bear season, such as now is a great time to buy bitcoin, as long as the price is still below the old ATH, then it is always time to buy it. But when entering the bull season and bitcoin surpasses the old ATH, it is not a good idea to buy bitcoin, wait for bitcoin to correct for a good price.
As long as you can be able to HODL it for the long term, why not? You can always buy even at $500k per BTC and sell it when it hit $600k to earn a $100k profit. We should not ever compare ourselves with others. Just let them sold their coins early but I doubt they are earning nicely if they do that. Only those who have the patience to hold a little longer are the ones who can earn massive profits here in Bitcoin.

The bear season is now ending and many are actually attracted to buy a Bitcoin this time. These people didn't buy at the actual bear market because they are scared that the price will fall more and they are also lazy to HODL it for a much longer time.
1053  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Shiba INU tokens continue to rise? on: February 28, 2023, 08:51:10 PM
don't worry about SHIBA Inu, because one of the memecoins that is certain to always follow the bullish trend is SHIBA,
yes Shiba is still supported by Elon Musk and this is a good thing, because if Elon Musk returns to tweeting about Doge then Shiba will too follow the bullish trend,
so don't worry and keep holding on SHIBA, the development of this project also doesn't need to be doubted,
even though Shiba is in the memecoin category, Shiba has very strong fundamentals like Doge coin.
There are no guarantee to get profit by holding any coin in cryptocurrency, even sometimes in BTC, but it’s always top coins and people’s trust it so it’s not compared with other coins. Shiba is most popular meme coins, and strong fundamental project but that doesn’t mean it’s safe to invest, i treated it meme coin so you should to invest in your afford, don’t blindly.
Yeah, their future is unpredictable but it does not stop people from investing on them. Instead of focusing on the negatives that can happen, people just focused on the bright side. That is the price will rise after a dump because people will invest more and we know when the demand is high and the supply is decreasing, the value of the coin will also skyrocket.

Shiba Inu is not the most popular meme coin but it was Dogecoin. Shiba is only a clone of Doge but it was second on the list in terms of popularity on the same category. Despite of being a meme, there are different plans from Shib and it was still listed on many platforms so maybe there is still a hope for the coin.
1054  Economy / Economics / Re: The volatility in the price of a bitcoin is falling over time, or not. on: February 28, 2023, 08:02:10 PM
By the way, I thought - if the volatility becomes commensurate with fiat stable currencies (as far as possible) - the cryptocurrency will disappear, in fact, a completely speculative component, and interest in the crypt will decrease to the level of fiat stock brokers who trade on currency exchanges ... And this means a decline in interest , a decrease in investment attractiveness and no more huge x's in the price Smiley
Most likely, the high price volatility of the cryptocurrency will always remain. Its volatility cannot fall so much as to even approximately approach the fiat of states in terms of level. Indeed, unlike other markets, the cryptocurrency market is not regulated, and the price of a cryptocurrency depends entirely on the relationship between supply and demand. In addition, in my opinion, with an increase in the price of cryptocurrencies, the amplitude of price fluctuations will also increase. We can clearly see this in the example of bitcoin.
Volatility rates can sometimes depend on the market condition. If in these bearish times, I think price of the coins are more stable but not if we are in a bullish mode. Fiats are stable but cryptos are not but even if let say they will also be stable forever, I still think that they will remain because they can still offer other benefits which are not found in fiats.

One example would be the anonymity. Other than the supply and demand, there are other factors which can affect the price of the cryptos. They can be the Wars, FUDs, and Crypto Frauds. This makes them harder to predict but this also gives us a thrill. It's not that boring compared to other assets out there.
1055  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will cryptocurrency replace other currencies? on: February 28, 2023, 07:14:03 PM
It is unlikely that we will ever see a period when only digital currencies will be used. For this, technical progress and the standard of living in most states must rise to very high levels. However, now we continue to observe wars with their inevitable destruction of economies and a decrease in the level of well-being of citizens, new diseases and epidemics, global climate change for the worse, which provokes new cataclysms like the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.

States are able to issue and issue digital currencies only as a kind of their non-cash payments. Therefore, the cryptocurrency can only go in parallel with the fiat of the states and is not able to replace the national currencies of the states. As long as states exist, they will not allow crypto to surpass their fiat.
The internet and the digital currency are not new anymore but they still remain as is. They never change the fiat system that we have. It's better to have two option because if option A is not available, we still have option B. It's possible for a country to progress but I think most countries do have a slower rate in terms of growth.

It will only take forever and yet people are still using the same old fiat because their knowledge are not yet good enough or their country still lacks of high quality infrastructure to operate the digital currencies in a stable manner. And you said there are still other problems which might occur. It will be better to focus on those first because they are more deadly.
1056  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Start of a Bull Season on Bitcoin? Or a Trap? on: February 27, 2023, 07:48:20 PM
Nothing is trap. You are just a impatient guy, who don’t want to hold for long, and just want to earn quick and uncertain profits. Rather than backing up Bitcoins, you are just hating and doubting this positive approach. Bitcoins are atleast trying it’s best to break the resistance and come out. In case of investment in Bitcoins, you have to be more careful and use the opportunity wisely. Just don’t complain and buy the coin if you are getting at price below 30k usd. Then hold for 3months and you will see 3x in your profits hopefully.
It can be a trap for those who jump on the bandwagon or when the price hits its highest this year which was $24k or $25k because after that, the price declined again. For us who did not buy lately, we also have our definition of trap, and that is when the price dumps a lot ex. below $20k.

Our assumptions for now is it's only just a normal decline and after a few days where are going to resume again on what we have started. Nothing can stop the incoming bull run anymore. In Bitcoin investing, it is important to have to have an extended patience because not all times the market is within our favor. If one is looking for an easy way to get rich then sorry, BTC is not the coin for them.

I hope all gamblers are like you, you are very lucky, just real talk. If I look at the history of your gambling story, I can say that this is not a barber's story, but a true story. If I was one of the friends you offered who didn't listen to you, for sure I would feel regret and envy you.

         But a friend of yours was also lucky to bet 100$ and now it is also a big help to him and he is also very grateful to you for believing in and trusting you. Congratulations as well as those who have posted here before on the topic you have created.
Yeah as a gambler, we all wish that we can earn a massive profit like the OP but unfortunately, we are not blessed to experience it. Most of the times we are only losing and if there are times we are lucky, we can only bring home a small amount of profits with us but that was still better than nothing at all.

I think it also has to do with the guts and the greed to continue pushing for more. His other friends are still winning and even if they didn't win big as the OP, I don't think they will ever regret. They will in fact be proud of their selves because they can be able to win on their own. Not unlike to others out there who are only good at depending on someone's ability.
1058  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: NFT Speculation on: February 26, 2023, 08:18:20 PM
now NFT that's still a thing is an NFT where you also got membership by owning it which unlocks certain benefits in certain platform, they are being valued quite high nowadays but certainly not that high mainly because they are just membership NFT unlike arts that's sometimes got overly inflate value. but that just means they are valued just right so it makes sense, but I'd say NFT is already losing its standing, only bullrun could ever revive them that if NFT is still could become a trend in next bullrun.
Yes, they are still a thing but they are not popular anymore as before. So many of them have died already and the only left are the strongest ones or those who have a better utility other than good for being a display like a digital artwork.

It's only funny that simple NFT's are the ones who are expensive but not the NFT's which has those features you mentioned. I don't wonder anymore why many people do not trust them and they think it was only being used to launder money. Let's see if the bull run can truly revive these NFT's but I doubt it will. This is why I am never a fan of the new trends because they can mostly come and go but that doesn't happen with the original cryptos.
1059  Economy / Speculation / Re: If history repeats itself: 2023 vs 2019 on: February 26, 2023, 07:01:49 PM
The market conditions are clearly unstable at the moment, the previous price gains were not able to last long enough and even I see that the possibility of a bearish trend could still occur, moreover the weekly chart of the BTC price still shows a death cross of the Moving Average indicator so that changes may occur the price suddenly comes from bitcoin at this time, for now it's better to watch and be aware of bitcoin price movements before buying because after all we don't want to get stuck in buying.
Yes the market situation is very volatile at the moment. The Bitcoin market has been bullish since the beginning of the year but now we are in a dumping market. Although the market has increased a lot in the first stage, now the market has started to go down again, how much it will go down is not accurately understood. Maybe by the end of this month or quarter we'll see Bitcoin maybe around $30,000 to $40000. And yes before investing you must consider the market conditions.
Being volatile is staple in cryptos so you guys shouldn't be shocked at all when you see saw the price moves in up and down direction. We are still bullish as long as we don't go below $20k. As of now the price is at $23k and it seems that there are no signs that it will fall down there but it was still ready to climb back to $24k and $25k at any moment.

Many are expecting that Bitcoin will end this first quarter with a $30k in price. That's not bad but $40k and onwards could likely be seen on the 3rd or 4th quarter of the year because I am sure that there are lots of corrections that will come along after. Investing in Bitcoin can be done in any market conditions because it will still recover and pump more in the future.

There are a lot of mobile Apps that give certain types of notifications about important indicators such as RSI, SMA, MACD and others, so many users may want to use such an application if you have the ability to program a more sophisticated one with more improvements.

Also, a Telegram bot that gives such notifications can be attractive to many who prefer to use Telegram to receive notifications.
Apps like these are useful because we can now get alerts on our phones if we are outside and not in the front of the computer. If we have an experience or a little knowledge in coding, we can use this to develop our own app because we might feel that something is missing on the existing apps that we have today. There's one user on the forum who did the same and he shared his own trading app here.

Too bad I forgot the title of his thread but once I remember I will go back to post here and maybe you guys will like that app he created. Telegram is a nice messaging tool but if we can squeeze all the signals here then why not? That saves us more space in our phone.
