Newcastle's performance after the change of ownership impressed everyone. Importantly, Newcastle lost just 5 games last season. Arsenal and Manchester United, who are second and third in the table, have lost 6 and 9 matches respectively. Newcastle played very well. And so the fans will definitely expect better performance from this team in the coming season. But we still don't know what steps Newcastle management will take to strengthen their squad.
Newcastle is currently very ideal in showing their performance, plus the financial support is quite large they can do anything if they want to buy quality players. Because the owner really fully supports what the coach wants, it's no wonder that this season, Newcastle have finished in an extraordinary position. Next season, for sure, Newcastle has prepared a far more mature plan than this season, especially when they qualify for the Champions League, it requires more support. Their long-time dream has now been achieved by getting a UCL ticket, which has boosted their confidence. The management of the Newcastle club is not in doubt.
Newcastle's performance in last season's English Premier League is undoubtedly their best in the league over the last decade thanks to the club new owner's wise decisions on bringing in the best needed set of players and also the tactical works that was put in place by the manager Eddie Howe who I think deserves some personal accolades for the feat he achieved with Newcastle.
Next season will be more demanding and challenging as well for Newcastle who would not just want to replicate finishing in the top four of the league position but also put out a great performance in the UEFA Champions League competition that they'll be playing in come next season. So I think it's required of the club new owner to sign more quality players so they can be formidable enough for the new season

As Newcastle played so well last season, they will now aim to continue that streak. I think this team will become as strong as Manchester City in the future. They have this ability. Newcastle has a lot of money. The team does not lack of money. And their coach Eddie Howe is quite experienced. He finished a great season with a mediocre team. No one imagined this team would qualify for the Champions League. And so if Eddie Howe gets the big funds he can take measures to strengthen the Newcastle team. And I guess he will succeed. Because he is very hard working.

We can say this season is the best season for Newcastle in recent years. Newcastle can not only compete in the top flight but also secure a place in the champions league and they also knocked Liverpool out of that place for the season. It must be admitted that what has been planted by Newcastle has finally begun to reap the results this season and this cannot be separated from the important role of club management and coach Eddie Howie. We know Eddie Howie is genius enough to be able to turn this team into a new challenger in the EPL last season and we are likely to be surprised by Newcastle in next season's EPL or even the champions league.

I would say this season was the best season in Newcastle's history. Qualifying for the Champions League is a huge achievement for a team like Newcastle. And they have coach Eddie Howie to thank for that. Newcastle's performances were consistent thanks to Eddie Howie's hard work. And now if the Newcastle management provides a decent fund to Eddie Howie to add the players he needs to the squad, then Eddie Howie will be able to strengthen this squad. If Eddie Howie is able to shape the team to his liking, I predict Newcastle will be in the quarter-finals of the Champions League next season.

Benzema's departure leaves a huge void in the Madrid squad. Because Benzema was the most important player in Madrid's squad. And so, if Real Madrid wants to perform well and win the title next season, they need to replace Benzema next season. If Mbappe is interested in coming to Madrid then the Madrid management will want to add Mbappe to the squad next season. Money will not be a major problem for Madrid. But we don't know if Mbappe will come to Madrid. Every season we've heard rumors of Mbappe joining Madrid. But we have not actually seen that. And so I cannot trust these rumors.
Mbappe said something about this rumour on his twitter, so what now?
He said it in French, so you can translate it yourself although I can explain something about it.
MENSONGES…❌
En même temps plus c’est gros plus ça passe. J’ai déjà dis que je vais continuer la saison prochaine au PSG où je suis très heureux.
Mbappe will still stay at PSG next season because he is happy with PSG. But the news about him circulating in the media must be taken seriously by PSG because it could be that PSG will lose him for free at the end of next season. PSG seems to be forced to let go of Mbappe or tie him up with a new contract, but I'm sure PSG will be very serious about releasing him in the transfer market this summer.
PSG has the potential to choose to release Kylian Mbappe in this season's transfer market if Mbappe is not interested in extending his contract which will expire next year.
And Mbappe's own representative has provided clarification regarding the future of Mbappe who chose not to renew his contract if it ends next season. But Kylian Mbappe also seems to have no intention of wanting to be kicked out this season. But still, everything will return to how the decision on the part of PSG. Because it seems that PSG are also quite disappointed with Mbappe's decision not to extend his contract at PSG.
And if PSG really want to let go of Mbappe in the transfer market this season, then Real Madrid must be the frontrunners to get this young star player. Because he has the skills needed by Real Madrid to replace the position left by Benzema. Because this season, Real Madrid is also interested in signing Harry Kane. But Real Madrid still think Kane's price is too high. So that Real Madrid might give up on the hunt for Kane.

Personally, I don't think PSG management will decide to sell Mbappe this season to make money. PSG boss Nasser Al-Khelaifi has always valued PSG's performance. He is not stingy. He did not spare a lot of money. And so if PSG cannot find a suitable replacement for Mbappe this season, they will keep Mbappe in the squad this season. However, Nasser Al-Khelaifi may decide to sell Mbappe if they find a replacement for Mbappe, or if they are interested in building a completely new team.

If Newcastle acquires new players, especially top players, it will greatly enhance their chances of winning in the upcoming season. However, it seems that they prefer to bring in young players with significant potential and talent to strengthen their squad and serve as future investments.
I agree with you, because clubs in England really have to have two good players in every position or solid reserves because a team in the premier league has to play in five competitions and if they don't have solid reserves they will be overwhelmed like Man Unitet or Liverpool last season. this is the quality of the core and backup players are very much different.
If Newcastle wants to be able to compete in the UCL league, they have to bring in several star players. With a squad like now it's difficult to compete. They will take part in a lot of competition next season. Hopefully British representatives like Newcastle can give a decent fight next season.
Newcastle has done well in the last season without any big star players. And we were quite surprised by Newcastle's performance. However, next season Newcastle will not only play in the Premier League, they have also managed to qualify for the Champions League. And the general audience will have high expectations from this team in the coming season. Because many think that the Newcastle team will become as strong as Manchester City in the future. Because they have a lot of money.
If you want to do well in the Champions League, you need to strengthen the bench team as well as the main squad. Otherwise, it is difficult to maintain consistency. And so next season Newcastle management should strengthen the squad by adding more star players to the squad.
I turned my attention to Newcastle back in the second half of last season when they started to perform very well after the change of ownership of the club... This season they have been showing class from the start... I think next season in the Champions League they will also do well because usually English clubs do well in that competition... I hope they don't stop surprising...

Newcastle's performance after the change of ownership impressed everyone. Importantly, Newcastle lost just 5 games last season. Arsenal and Manchester United, who are second and third in the table, have lost 6 and 9 matches respectively. Newcastle played very well. And so the fans will definitely expect better performance from this team in the coming season. But we still don't know what steps Newcastle management will take to strengthen their squad.

Now their two star players are on the verge of leaving after Messi left first and in the end the arrogance of the fans will have such a big impact on the club. However incidents like this will have an impact on PSG's preparations for pre-season and they must immediately find a replacement for other players and conditions like this cannot be underestimated because they can affect other players in the next season.
PSG management should rebuild their squad next season. In the last few seasons, we have seen a lot of star players in PSG's squad. But there is no improvement in PSG's performance. PSG changed coach several times but did not get good results. PSG management should appoint an experienced coach instead of wasting money on buying only star players. Even an average squad can perform well if the coach is experienced. And so PSG's management should look for an experienced coach like Zidane or Guardiola.
PSG is losing Mbappe and they lost Messi too, I think this team is losing the superstar players they had and I think there is even a possibility to say the PSG owner is disappointed with this team and they are going sell the players and try earning money from the players they sell there and decrease the salary they have to pay.

PSG owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi is not trying to make money by selling players. Nasser Al-Khelaifi has a lot of money. And he is also ready to raise big funds to strengthen his squad. We still don't know if Mbappe will be sold by PSG management. Mbappe did not renew his contract with PSG. Mbappe is out of contract with PSG next season. Now we don't know whether PSG management will make money by selling Mbappe, or they will keep Mbappe in the team and Mbappe will leave PSG as a free agent next season.

Mbappe has already given the signal to Real Madrid about a possible transfer. However it will happen by next summer instead of one. Because Mbappe has said that he won't extend his current contract which ends in the summer of 2024. But he is about to play for PSG until that date. But even this is great news for Real Madrid as they can make the preparations according to that.
Besides Florentino Perez has also said that this transfer will happen but just not now.  Smiley  Truthfully I would really like to watch Mbappe with Real Madrid shirt. But when he comes I'm pretty sure he would like to play as a centre-forward which is the position he used to play in already. I wonder what Real Madrid will do about the current striker problem thinking of that situation also.
That's big news, but I don't think Real Madrid will wait for Mbappe's contract to expire in 2024. Real Madrid have to move fast for Mbappe because there is a possibility that other teams will approach him especially because Mbappe is a very good player because of him. quality.
Mbappe is most likely to belong to Real Madrid, but in some of the news I have read several top Premier League clubs have also expressed interest. Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea are some of the clubs that seem interested, but City looks like they will be the team that will not have a big chance after having Haaland.

Benzema's departure leaves a huge void in the Madrid squad. Because Benzema was the most important player in Madrid's squad. And so, if Real Madrid wants to perform well and win the title next season, they need to replace Benzema next season.

It cannot be said that Newcastle achieved such results without star players, a lot of money was invested in the team, which is why they were able to achieve such results. The next season will be indicative, because you are right, they will also have to play in the Champions League in addition to the Premier League, this will significantly increase the load on the team and there may be a decline somewhere, it will also depend on the team’s priorities and, of course, the possibility of its bench.

Did Newcastle have a lot of star players in the team? I don't think so. If asked the names of Manchester City, United, or Liverpool players, you can probably name the entire squad of players. But how many players in the Newcastle squad do you know? I don't know any player in the Newcastle squad who is more popular or known. Newcastle's players were of average quality. Newcastle coach Eddie Howe worked hard to stabilize this team. And the squad players were also very hardworking. This is why Newcastle qualified for the Champions League.

Well maybe the next season's goal for Napoli is indeed the Champions League and they certainly need a coach who has a lot of experience in the Champions League. But I still doubt Napoli will be able to get a coach who meets these criteria. Because now even the hunt for coaches is as fierce as the hunt for players in the transfer market.
Napoli is a club that has a very good performance, and unfortunately yesterday they failed to overthrow Inter to qualify for the next round. and yes if they are targeting to bring home the Champions trophy next season maybe they should get a revision of a new coach who is more experienced in the Champions as well as improving the club's better performance for a good next season.
And to be honest, we want to see new changes at Napoli, basically they are already very high quality and have been able to maintain consistent performance this season. and we expect a much better performance in the next season, in the Champions they will meet a tough Rival, we are looking forward to a much more beautiful game from Napoli for next season.

I don't know why you can't be satisfied with Luciano Spalletti. Is Luciano Spalletti not experienced enough? Napoli is doing very well with Luciano Spalletti. And this season the Napoli team won the title by dominating Serie A.
Napoli has played 96 matches since Luciano Spalletti took over as coach. Of these, Napoli has won 62 matches and lost only 18 matches. Luciano Spalletti's winning percentage is 64.58%. Is it not good enough?
Many people want to see Zidane as Napoli's coach instead of Luciano Spalletti. Zidane's winning percentage with Madrid was 60.53%. Zidane is certainly experienced. But I see no reason to feel bad for Luciano Spalletti. Luciano Spalletti can strengthen the Napoli team if he gets more star players in his squad.

There is something about having Haaland that I can't put my finger on exactly. Sure he scored 50+ goals in a season and that's great but for the past few games he had no goals and yet they were still better with him on the field.
I mean we can always say the obvious and say that the defense collapses on him because he can score so easily and mark him tight, which allows others to score easier, but not like others scored easier neither, all the goals were tough goals, look at the UCL finals, they barely got one goal, which was a shot that bounced back right on rodrigo and he scored the shot around two defenders as well, on a hairpin precise shot, so not like the goal came easily neither. I don't know what makes him so good, he is good, just don't understand how he can be so good even when he doesn't score.
They won't let him go as a free agent. That would be the worst case scenario for Tottenham. He will leave Tottenham this summer and they are not even in the position anymore to ask for 100 million because if nobody is willing to pay that money, the risk is too high that he will indeed leave as a free agent and the incentive for Kane is quite high. If a club doesn't have to pay a transfer fee, they can offer Kane a massive signing bonus and Kane knows that as well. His position is comfortable and I am sure he is looking forward to all sorts of negotiations. He will finalize those negotiations as the winner. That is already certain.

Harry Kane is a very experienced player. Several teams would like to sign Harry Kane. Among these are PSG, Manchester United, Newcastle, and Real Madrid. And every team has enough money to sign players. And so they will be eager to sign players of their choice even if they pay a high price. There are very few veteran players as talented as Harry Kane. He scored 30 goals in the Premier League last season. The 29-year-old Kane's fitness is quite good. And so several teams will want to get Kane in the team next season.

Australia played amazingly like India team, so much power to beat Shali team by 209 runs, I think it is a big achievement for Australia team. Australia team's bowling and batsmen's game was very good. Just as India team's bowling line was weak, India's batting line was also bad.  But Rohit Sharma batted badly in 1st inns but scored good runs in 2nd inns. India lost this match like this due to poor performance of their players.  I did not expect India to lose to Australia by so many runs.
From India's part, the batting was somewhat OK. It was their bowling which resulted in the defeat. First and foremost, the decision to drop Ravichandran Ashwin was a big blunder. I understand that Shardul Thakur is a better allrounder, but given how Jadeja troubled the Australian batsmen, one more spinner in the squad would have been very helpful. Ashwin could have been included in the place of Umesh Yadav, or even in exchange for another batsman. The last time India won an ICC championship was back in 2013. The long wait continues....

I don't think so. The reason for India's defeat was the erratic performance of their batsmen. The pitch was not bowling-friendly. And so a very good performance was not expected from the bowlers. India scored a total of 530 runs in their two innings. Australia on the other hand collected 469 runs in their first innings. If the batsmen of India can bat well it would not be difficult to win this match. Although India's batting line-up is very experienced, their performance in this match left the fans very disappointed.

Inter Milan have done their best in the Champions League this season, I even predicted they would lose with a 2 goal difference, but in reality they only conceded one goal. And even in the final minutes especially, they got a lot of chances, but unfortunately the opportunities they got couldn't be converted into goals. I don't think the Goddess of luck is on their side in this match.
Yes, Inter weren't too bad in the UCL final, even they also can do a lot of effort in that match, there are two best golden opportunities for them, but sadly they weren't so lucky to scored.
By the way, on the other side. Hellas Verona success to get a winning against Spezia today, and they Verona will still in Serie A next season, congrats ! This match really impressive 4 goals were created in the first half, it was a hot match.
Yes, Inter Milan had indeed tried several times to give shots at Manchester city's goal but all of them were not on target and Ederson as Manchester City's goalkeeper also appeared very strong when the Inter Milan player fired at him easily to brush away the ball.
For Spezia with Verona it was indeed the last game but it seems that Verona's victory means nothing to her position.

Manchester City's defenders and goalkeeper performed very well. Dias, Akanji and Ederson's performances were excellent. Moreover, Guardiola's match strategy was also quite good. But Edin Dzeko's performance in this match really disappointed me. Dzeko did not contribute much to Inter Milan's performance. Dzeko is a good enough player. The team expected more from him in such an important match. Perhaps the match would have been more competitive if Dzeko and Martinez had performed a bit better.

Pep has always been the man to win the champions league this season and it all went well in his favor, but the problem is that all 3 Italian teams went into the finals and lost all. Is something to worry about, although Inter played better than the other 2 teams, talking about Fiorentina and Roma.
Inter tried but they didn't come out to play City, they just try to use the counter attack on City which didn't work and the Inter Milan side wasn't fast to capitalize their opportunity.
To be frank with you guys, this season wasn't a season for the Italian teams, I can't see them (Seria A teams) getting this far next season.
I would say that Manchester City deserves the Champions League title. They have played well in every match of this season's Champions League. Manchester City qualified for the final by defeating hot favorites such as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. The team was in great form throughout the season. Beating this team and winning the title was much more difficult for Inter Milan.
But nobody can say that Inter Milan's performance in yesterday's match was bad. Inter Milan players tried their best to score. They played very well. But they could not break Guardiola's strong defense.
The Champions League final just ended the way it was predicted that Inter Milan will play  Man City tough game. But the same Manchester City didn't give them the chance to score just as it was predicted too. Manchester City have been into planning of winning Champions League this season for a very long time which they could not afford to lose the game.

The match was undoubtedly very competitive. Inter Milan played very well. But Manchester City's defense was very strong. And so Inter Milan could not score despite many good attacks. The entire match was very exciting. However, I am happy that Manchester City are champions. In the last few seasons, they have played very well but failed to win the title. They haven't made any mistakes this season. Manchester City became champions with the help of Guardiola's extraordinary match strategy.

India is going to lose the ICC World Test Championship by a huge margin of runs. A while ago India had seven wickets in hand but now India has only one wicket in hand with 220 runs needed to win. 
With Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane at the wicket, India were in good shape but the fifth day started with a major collapse in India's batting line-up.
 India's batting woes in the first innings were clearly visible in the second innings as well. It is only a matter of time for Australia to win the World Test Championship as India have only one wicket in their hands and one wicket can fall anytime as there is no experienced and recognized batsman in the wicket now. 
Congratulations in advance to the Australian cricket team for winning the World Test Championship.
That was a lot quicker than we expected last 3 wickets gone in blink of an eye .
India should have played a little better or competitive, anyways congratulations Australia for winning his ICC test championship 2023 they deserved this title as we have seen their performances.
They were outstanding overall and better luck next time india they lost after coming to this point.
We never expected this kind of batting from a team like India.  India's batting could have been a little better but it was not like that and India was defeated by a huge margin of 209 runs. India could score 296 runs in the first innings but managed to score only 234 runs in the second innings.
By the end of IPL the Indian team was very confident for the Test Championship and all the batsmen or bowlers who were included in the Test Championship team were quite experienced and skilled complete batsmen and bowlers. But in the end India failed to prove themselves again. 
No batsman could make a half century for India in the second innings. If no batsman can make a half century in Test cricket, how can a team win that match.
The Indian team in particular is a bit confused about the team arrangement. For example, when playing a Test match, this game definitely requires calmer players for a long time, but I have seen them score runs like an ODI match and get out quickly. Today, from start to finish, no player could score a half-century, this is where the Indian team failed. The captain of the Indian team must follow the test players calm and determined for a long time. I think it is possible to win the Test Championship only if the rate of wicket fall is very low.

Every player in the Indian team was very talented. But the players are not in good form. If the players were in form we would have seen better batting from them. Even then I don't think India will lose that badly. In the second innings, the Indian batsmen were batting well. It was not expected that they would face such a batting disaster at the start of the fifth day. Jadeja and Shardul Thakur batted well in the first innings but failed to collect any runs in the second innings. If the performance of the batsmen is so erratic, it is impossible to beat a big team like Australia in a Test match.

There are two reasons. First, Bitcoin is a non-credit currency ten times stronger than gold. So unless Bitcoin is replaced. Otherwise he must surpass gold. Second, Bitcoin is close to being the ideal non-credit currency, and it is basically impossible to have another non-credit currency beyond Bitcoin. Combine these two points and Bitcoin is bound to surpass gold

That's right...not to mention its use-case. Gold thrives on its scarcity, limited supply and certain physical properties that supersede other metals, and it will also thrive at the time that worthless paper money meets its propelled demise. Draw-backs include storage, transfer of ownership, and availability to purchase/sell. Bitcoin solves what gold lacks in, so I agree with you strongly that Bitcoin will surpass the market cap of gold.

I've said before in another thread, one day the main pair of bitcoin will be against the value of gold, instead of the value of the dollar or other fiat currencies. Alongside the pair of UM (Universal Money) which will probably supersede all fiat (at least in the west) and BRICS (if this actually comes to fruition) over the next 2 - 5 years.

Interesting times!
Yes, bitcoin solves some of the limitations of gold such as being easier to store and transport, in addition, bitcoin can also be used for ultra-fast cross-border payments, which no other asset can do. But that doesn't mean it will overtake the gold market because gold offers many other benefits that bitcoin doesn't, such as jewelry use, and is gold's biggest advantage by far. The future is unpredictable, and right now, bitcoin is not yet comparable to gold when there is such a big difference in capitalization.
I don't think that Jewelry is a use-case, I think that's just a way for those who are holding a lot of gold to be able to create a product that is worth a lot more than the actual gold itself. This is the same story as diamonds. It's not a real use-case that drives value, it is just a way for those who hold a lot of the supply to liquidate what they own.

Other than distribution methods, like jewelry, which provides more volume/trade for gold or maybe some demand, do you have any other use-case or economic benefit in mind for gold that Bitcoin doesn't?

I have a question? If bitcoin is really better than gold in every way, then why hasn't bitcoin been able to surpass gold so far? Most countries already know about bitcoin, but why, in this time of crisis, is gold still the most sought after asset to add to countries' budgets but not bitcoin?
Just looking at what's going on, it's easy to see that gold is still considered the most valuable and sought-after asset. Although in comparison, we must admit that bitcoin is superior to gold in some, but not all, bitcoin is not perfect in all respects.

Overall performance of all teams in Serie A was fluctuating badly and it is like everyone are trying to give the others a chance to get a place for Champions League and the other European competitions spots.. Except Napoli which played good most of the time but they dropped at the end a bit after they secured a place for Champions League next season.
Juventus suffered a lot from injustice, at least for the management and players, because it is very depressing to see your efforts vanish like that..
I think that no team would want Juventus to join the Conference league with the point deletion penalty in their current ranking, probably from the teams from other countries that will participate in the conference league. Think about it, next year's champion will most likely be Juventus, would you like to be in the same group? In group matches, we can even see matches where weak European teams will score 7-8 goals.
Conference league teams are relatively weak. Juventus have the best chance of winning the title if they play in the Conference League. But I will say that the conference league is not taken seriously by the Juventus team. Juventus have no interest in winning the conference league title. Although Juventus play in the Conference League, their main aim will be to perform well in Serie A. And so even though Juventus is the strongest team in the Conference League, the chances of Juventus winning the Conference League title are low. So if the other teams in the conference league play well, they have a chance to win the title.
I think Juventus can easily reach the semi-finals even if they don't take the conference league seriously. After the semi-finals, he takes it seriously and goes to the final and easily wins the trophy. Juventus may not take it seriously, as it is normally a trophy in Europe where weak teams compete. Serie A will of course be a priority for them.

Qualifying for the semi-finals of the Conference League will not be difficult for Juventus. But winning semi-finals and finals will be a bit tougher. However, if Juventus' main goal is to win the Conference League title, then I believe they can win it. Because the teams performing in the conference league are relatively weak. On the other hand, Juventus has not been able to win the Serie A title for a long time. They are not able to play well in Serie A. So Juventus' first priority next season will definitely be to do well in Serie A.

I was kinda surprised when I read the news from Financial Times that the cross-section of the UK's MPs that seems to see it as needless to regulate cryptocurrency suggested that it should be viewed as "a form of gambling" and be regulated as such.

Without relying on my own understanding of "gambling," I quickly used the help of the Oxford Dictionary through Google, and it states;

1. Play games of chance for money; bet.
2. Take risky action in the hope of a desired result.

The second one seems to fit crypto best, so it's clear they know what they are saying.

Now, do you agree that crypto should be seen as a form of gambling? And if this eventually comes through, what should we expect as the constraints it might still bring to the crypto space?

Even our life is a gamble, if you live with no direction, no goal, no plan, and you ignore life, then your life is also a gamble, nothing more and nothing less. When you invest and do business without any plan, you just follow your feelings and what you think is right, that is also gambling. People who consider cryptocurrency as gambling are ignorant and do not have any knowledge about it. They only look at the surface, see the risk, and hastily conclude it is gambling. For these types of people, it is advisable to stay away and limit arguing with them because their limited knowledge only wastes our time.
1060  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which platform is safe to store Bitcoin and can’t be hacked ? on: June 10, 2023, 03:11:25 AM
I store Bitcoin on blockchain, Binance and trust wallet. I’m just wondering which other platform is safer and more secured? Since all 3 have been hacked before.
In my opinion, no online platform is 100℅ safe and cannot be hacked. As long as it is digital, online, then there will be the potential to be hacked. Even though each platform has actually tried various things by improving its security system to avoid the threat of cyber crimes such as hacks and others. However this doesn't guarantee 100℅ that they won't be hacked.

 If you really want something more secure, then hardware wallets are the answer, but you also have to be careful because there is the possibility of malware, phishing or other things that can also be at risk of losing.

After all, storing bitcoins online is really too risky, and hardware wallets are still the safer option. But let's not forget what is happening with Ledger, and we also won't know what will happen to other hardware wallet providers. These impacts are all coming from the government, so it is safe to say that finding the safest place for bitcoin is very difficult these days. I am still using a hardware wallet, but with what has happened, I feel more insecure than ever, I really don't know what to believe and what is the safest solution.
