DCA is for actual long term investors and they do both accumulation and profit taking gradually with a very long time.

As investors, they must take profit but if you are a smart investor, you will take profit gradually and partially. A first time you take profit should be a time you do it to retrieve your initial capital. After that first profit taking, your investment position is totally safe. Then for the rest part, you can split it to different parts and consider for profit taking in future.

Because Bitcoin has its bull run with 4 year halving cycle so your profit taking strategy should be span out with 4 year period or 5 years. Same if you already take profit all Bitcoin you have and want to accumulate it again, you should proceed it in 2 to 3 years.

The main thing I think about Real Madrid's players is that they are quite good at finishing off an attack with a good shot on goal when they are in attack mode.
Their whole system runs very smoothly and they can play with either counter attacking or ball-controlling. They can do well in either main tactics because their midfielders are very good at both.

Again Valverde scored and he is going to beat Ancelotti in their bet. 10 goals in this season is very closely target for Valverde.

Quote
The exact same thing happened tonight, RMA scored 3 goals against Elche, really great performance from Madrid.
They actually can score more goals if VAR does not reject 3 goals. VAR and referee are good with those decisions but Real Madrid are unlucky because in three rejected goals, difference between offside and not offside is very slim.

There should be one player who has a crucial role in a team. It is like Benzema in Real Madrid. But the wrong thing in Barcelona is, that they have no other players who are productive enough and play consistently. While Real Madrid has some young players who play consistently such as Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, and Federico Valverde. So, they don't rely on Benzema only to score. While Barcelona only has Lewandowski who can more consistently in scoring. Whenever Lewandowski gets difficulty in scoring, Barcelona seems hard to win.
We can not compare Benzema and Lewandowski. Even they are playing at the striker position, they are different players and have different skills. Benzema is not only a striker but he contributes a lot for a whole attacking system operations in Real Madrid. Lewandowski is more similar to a traditional striker and he contributes less to attacking system operation. Benzema can play as number ten, a play maker but Lewandowski can not do it.

I agree with you that Barcelona system operates less smoothly than Real Madrid and they have less alternative plans when Lewandowski can not play well.

Liverpool are continuing to rise as they have got another win against West Ham this time. It was another 1-0 victory maybe but these wins are important for them to continue recovering. It looks like their defending is much better these days as they didn't concede any goal in their last two league games. But they need to be able to score multiple goals in a game to get more comfortable wins. West Ham could have really got one point here if they didn't miss that penalty.

But in time I believe that Liverpool will get better at winning games more comfortably. They should be able to finish the season in top 3 even if they don't make it to the title.
Another win after beating Manchester City for Liverpool. They are back to their track and still keep up small hope in Premier League title competition. The chance for Liverpool is not big enough but they have yet given it up. In addition, Darwin at least shows some improvement but he must adjusts more. He should know when to shot and when to make a key pass for his team mates. A final win for Liverpool is more important than who scores the goal.

And Alison did have a good save and he kept three points for Liverpool. If West Ham succeed in the penalty or in another chance in late of the match, they should have 1 point at least.

I think today’s performance from Tottenham was one of the most lacklustre, dull performances I’ve ever seen as a football fan. Not sure about anyone else but I can’t take much more of this type of football. Absolutely dreadful, like really embarrassing. Every player apart from the Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris should hang their head in shame. Tottenham players were slow, sloppy, and there was no creativity and no urgency. I don’t understand why Conte keeps playing this kind of football. Manchester United dominated every round of the game.
Manchester United destroyed Tottenham and this time, they don't need Ronaldo. This win will help Manchester United to have more confidence and continue their good form in next one month, before the World Cup beginning.

The reaction of Ronaldo shows that he has never been happy in Old Trafford this season and I am curious that will he leave the club in the winter transfer. Main barriers are his too high salary and his old age as well as his ambition to be in main squad. He will not feel happy if he joins a new club and only has a position on bench again.
1184  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC energy use jumps 41% in 12 months, increasing regulatory risks on: October 19, 2022, 04:52:09 AM
You have to include one more thing to your discussion.

The percent of renewable energy is used in Bitcoin mining is increasing too and it is better than so many other industries.

Bitcoin Mining Council released their recent report about it.

Q3 Bitcoin Mining Council Survey confirms year on year improvements in sustainable power mix and technological efficiency

According to it, total mining hashrate increased 73% YoY in Q3 2022 and the sustainable power mix is at 59.4%. It is an 3% YoY increase from Q3 2021 to Q3 2022.

It's true that the energy crisis globally can cause short term stricter regulation on Bitcoin mining when governments try to resolve the temporary shortages of energy resources.
1185  Other / Meta / Re: Eliminate ban appeals, but change the perma ban at the same time. on: October 19, 2022, 03:34:59 AM
Certain things, like plagiarism and threats could still be perma bans. But, other offenses just get you a 30 or 60 or 90 day vacation and welcome back to being a newbie.
Coming back with a second chance and is de-ranked to a newbie then have to start from scratch. I think it is too harsh and is not a good one.

Getting a second chance is not easy and to have it, a perman banned user should have a good contribution, good net-effect for consideration. So if that user eventually gets a second chance, if the forum de-ranks the user back to a newbie rank, it is like wiping out all the past contribution, all reputation.

If it is applied, I guess people will choose to create a new account rather than try to submit a ban appeal and wait too long for a second chance.

I only know with a second chance, there are some types of offense:
- Coming back instantly, without a temporary ban (like 30, 60 or 90 days) AND without any time for signature ban
- Coming back but with a temporary ban (like 30 days, after that the user can start using the account) AND a signature ban (like 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years).
1186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 19, 2022, 03:25:48 AM
This is true. The French League 1 is somewhat similar to the Bundesliga. In the Bundesliga, there is usually a championship race between Bayern and Dortmund, in League 1, a championship race is held with Paris SG and one of the other teams. Sometimes it was Marseille, sometimes Lille, sometimes Lyon. Maybe it would be more accurate to compare Bundesliga with League 1 instead of Serie A.
PSG domination in Ligue 1 is like the one of Bayern Munich in Bundesliga. But we can not compare two clubs with each other. Bayern Munich has a longer and bigger history and their club has a better sustainable strategy for their finance, transfer and results on field. PSG is more relying on finance source from their owner and if it is broken, is stopped somehow, PSG will fall into crisis. Bayern won't easily fall into crisis as they have more solid and healthier finance as well as they don't give players too damn unreasonable high salary like PSG.

Bayern Munich have the set of young players in their Midfield and every season they always provide opportunities fo their young talented players. Gavin beats Musiala to lift the Kopa award but we all should just calm down, because when it's time, there's absolutely nothing that will hinder it. Musiala is an upcoming talented player and a promising one at that, Bayern Munich will keep him in their at all cost, the Bundesliga giant don't joke with youngsters that are good with the ball and has incredible footing.
It is easy for Bayern Munich to give opportunities for their young players because of their domination in Bundesliga. They don't have to struggle to win in most of matches so when they have good results, they can give young players time to play and learn. In a single match, it does not make big difference but in long run, the difference is big because their young players will learn a lot from experienced players as well as sharpen their skills. That is very helpful for them in early stage of their career.
1187  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Multiple transaction on Metamask on: October 19, 2022, 02:56:31 AM
Is it possible to make multiple transactions using metamask instead of sending one after the other?
Yes you can with supportive tools but when you are sending to multiple receivers in a single batch transaction, you must check details carefully before you broadcast it. Because if it is sending to one receiver, if you make mistake, the value of the mistakenly broadcasting transaction should be smaller than a batch one.

Quote
Is there any difference is performance between metamask mobile and metamask PC wallet? Security wise.
PC is always better than mobile in security. Mobile devices are more vulnerable to hacks especially Android devices.

On PC, if you want to have less risk of hack, use Linux rather than Windows but Metamask wallet does not support Linux.

Op is talking about investing which differs from trading in several aspects. If you say investing is just a matter of profit and loss, you need to know how online dating scams work, wallet hacks by phishing sites, rugpull cases that were trending last year, and the like. All of these cases are under the guise of investment and most of them are experienced by beginners who think about profits many times over.
Investment should be used when you use your capital to buy something that is safe and potentially brings profit to you after holding time.

I don't consider buying altcoins and holding them is investment especially if it is about very new altcoins. They can be minted from thin air, with a polishing white paper and roadmap but we can not know how their team will be able to keep up their promises and complete all tasks they wrote in white paper and roadmap.

Solana, Polkadot and other new chains recent months got many issues to maintain their operations. They are promising a few months after launches but later, we saw that they did not actually change any game. They are not game changers, just other failed altcoins.

Liverpool have been in impressive form over the past week and picked up a crucial 3points against Manchester City in the weekend. I saw a different Liverpool side against Manchester city and it shows that they’re in better form at the moment and should be able to win this Westham side. Does look like Salah has found his scoring boots and I’m tipping him continue the form.
Salah in this season does not have best ability to score goals but we must realize another fact that he does not get as same support as in previous season. When Liverpool get many big problems, from whole of their system, Salah receives less goals, less key passes and all of these affect his total goals so far in the season.

He also is responsible for his less goals in this season. After missing so many chances, his confidence is affected too but the goal that helps Liverpool win Manchester City can be a milestone for Salah in this season. He is a great and ambitious player. One important goal can bring him back to his best.

Quote
West Ham United have not been at their best so far this season so I don’t see them post any trouble for Liverpool.
Liverpool have issues and they can have trouble with any club, not only West Ham. I just wish that the win against Manchester City can actually help them to return to their best. The match with West Ham will be a chance for Liverpool to show that they actually recover from the crisis.

There are different ways that you can be scammed from phone calls, email and more but the easiest way you can identify possible scam is the information you get from the team may not be the same and not being the same is showing you something that you have to run.
About phone, SIM swap attack is one type of scam.

About email, don't click on email from strangers and don't click on strange links just because you are curious or careless what the link is.
You should check your email settings after a while, because if your email is hacked but you did not notice about it. Hackers can change email settings and turn off notifications about strange logins and suspicious activities.

I say Liverpool's inconsistency was because Klopp set up a lineup very hard to achieve and left little error margin for the players. And talk about Liverpool's players, most ain't good either.
Liverpool have many problems in this season but I think it all started since the past season. Their players did played too many matches and were exhausted after all. Therefore in this season, they are tired enough to cause a worse performance as well as more injuries.

The departure of Sadio Mane affects a general operation of Liverpool tactics too and Nunez simply can not replace Sadio Mane at least until now.

Quote
They got lucky against Manchester City but really, I don't think they can go far with Klopp leading Liverpool like that. Some might think maybe this lineup and strats have a potential cause they won against Manchester City but like I said, just simply luck, a fluke.
I disagree with you. Liverpool did had a very good match and their winning is well deserved. I don't call their winning is just because of luck. They worked, they played well and they won it. They even can win it at higher result with more goals if Nunez did not have two bad moments. In the first one, he rejected to make a key pass to Salah. In a second one, he should do it better.

Quote
Better replace Klopp with a new coach cause they'll go nowhere.
Will a new coach can help Liverpool play better?
Will he be able to help Liverpool win against Manchester City and Pep?
More important, will a new coach have a long term plan for the club?

I think Klopp did his job well enough and he deserves to have more time to end the crisis.

1193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 17, 2022, 09:51:17 AM
Roma had 4 times streak with no lose in all competitions and from it they gets 2 wins at Serie A so i will assume they had successfully improved their performance and today against Sampdoria they should be able to win the match considering Sampdoria performance was quite poor this season even until week 9 Sampdoria along with Cremonese is the teams who cannot able to wins
Roma must win it to participate in top four after this match. It will also help them to strengthen their confidentiality after the injury of Paolo Dybala. They must prove that they can win and achieve big things without Dybala. Winning a match but effect from it should be bigger after that.

Sampdoria has a bad season so far but Roma must play carefully because at Antermio Franchi, the home stadium of Sampdoria, they will have more difficulty because Sampdoria will fight too seriously to save themselves and improve their ranking.

1.74 For them against Sampdoria this is definitely a decent bet, especially if you look at Sampdoria's current condition, it's actually quite good.
However, looking at the previous match, Roma can't be said to be good even though in the last 2 matches they managed to win but in this case they are still a little difficult to keep the net clean sheet.
But to face Sampdoria who are currently in a bad trend and even still having trouble winning the match, of course it is still very worth it.
Roma are stronger than themselves one season ago but they still have weakness and they still must improve more. Fortunately, Sampdoria is likely not a tough opponent for Roma at this moment. They can win the match and enjoy feeling to be in top four of Serie A after many months. It is a good start for them to get it at the end of season too.

Mourinho and Roma must cover the missing (because of injury) of Dybala in next one month, then they can take a break for the World Cup. After that, Dybala will recover and come back. Then they will have him again in the squad and get more creativeness from Dybala, not only goals and assists.
1194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 17, 2022, 02:12:08 AM


This is the current situation

Source: https://www.espn.com/soccer/standings/_/league/ita.1

Could be the year for Napoli  Huh
Napoli are repeating themselves like in early of past season. It is too soon to call this year is the year for Napoli. Only 10 matches passed and 28 more matches until the Serie A ending. Currently, Napoli is only 2 points more than Atalanta and they don't have many difference than AC Milan and lower clubs like Lazio, Udinese, Roma and even Inter Milan.

To win Scudetto, Napoli must continue what they are doing but in 28 more matches. I think in this weird season when World Cup is held in middle of season, club like Napoli can have good advantage because they will be less affected by international duties, World Cup.


Surely right now this is the biggest question which is everyone's mind who is following this Italian league for last few years here we have few biggest upsets which bring down many teams from top ranks and now these are struggling badly for having back things as normal, but now it's not easy with quality is declined and injuries list is also long for many big teams which is also a headache for many teams right now Napoli is doing amazing job and now after today win they are at the top ahead of Atlanta and AC Milan which are respectively at second and third spot.
When Juventus lost their domination, other clubs make Serie A more interesting. After Inter Milan, AC Milan, now we can have a third champions in three seasons. It is big change after almost 10 years of domination from Juventus.

Napoli has some good season in last one decade but they have never won any Scudetto after the last one with Maradona. This season, if they can win it, that will be a belated gift for Maradona.

Quote
Lazio and Udinese is also doing good with most chances Roma could be at fourth if they won their next game against bottom side Sampdoria Inter and Juventus are trying to fill the gape, but things are not easy as now many teams are performing good.
Roma can win Sampdoria even they will have to play as a guest. However, I think of more difficulty for Roma because they already lose Dybala until after the World Cup. How Mourinho can keep his attacking system running well in next few matches is important for Roma.

It's better to be more friendly to your pen ✒️ when it comes to crypto wallets than your keyboard, I have never lost my funds from any wallet that I wrote down it's recovery seeds with my hand, it's always those that I type using a keyboard, or trying to import wallet into another wallet.
Many backup methods for your wallet seeds and writing it down on paper is only one of available methods. You can not say paper backup is a safest one. Because it is related to many things.

Quality of paper, pen to make sure what you write won't be blurred too much or even disappear after a while sometime because of low quality of pen pink. Later steps are like where you store that paper. Is your storage location is safely enough, is it secretly, is it good to safe your seed from water, fire and more types of physical damage risk factors.

If you recover it successfully from your backup, it means you don't make any typo when writing and that backup is good to use.

Quote
I am starting to feel like there is some kind of a tool or software that hackers use to find out recently typed in words or something, the moment you type your recovery seed while connect online makes your wallet weak, I am sticking with writing down with a pen and I think you should too.
Don't store your wallet seed online in email, cloud account, google sheet etc. because it is risky. If you lose your account, you will lose those data to hackers.

With basic differences like above, Bitcoin is better than tulip bulb and I don't imagine about Bitcoin bubble or any bubble that is similar to tulip bubble.

The match is about to end and ManU just shows a very bad performance in attacking.  Especially CR7 is pursued by bad luck!  I bet on a win but it will definitely remain a draw.
Ronaldo has two rejected goals but Manchester United had a great chance in late of match. Bruno Fernandez and Rashford did their jobs well but Fred can not turn that chance to a goal.

Quote
But Arsenal continue to show a good performance, which makes me very happy! I hope City lose points today to give Arsenal some space for the first place  Grin
The goal of Bukayo Saka is a very stunning one. Usually players don't make a shot like this but Saka decided to give it a shot and fortunately he scored. This season, Saka has been matured a lot and within about 1 year, since Euro 2020, he has become a star player in Premier League. Saka will be an important player for England in the coming World Cup.

Liverpool and Manchester City will give their best in this match. But again and again Liverpool's performances of late have made me not believe they can now hold off against Manchester City. The difference is very visible in every way and Manchester City have more hope of winning this match even though it is Liverpool's home ground. I predict that both clubs will be able to score goals and in the end it will be full points for Manchester City with a difference of 2 goals. Erling Haaland will be the one to score the goals that Manchester City will create.
Liverpool have problems with defense in this season and this can be a dead point for them as Manchester City have enough good players to exploit Liverpool defense. In this season, we see Liverpool have problems with attacking but their defense is not good as past seasons.

I don't think having a home stadium can help Liverpool to much in this match. With Haaland and De Bruyne, City can beat Liverpool. They also have so many other players who can score goals to beat Liverpool. Foden, Silva, Mahrez can do this task well too.
