Borussia Dortmund is known to be selling their best players in almost all the summer transfer windows and that is why Bayern Munich will continue to dominate the German Bundesliga for more seasons to come.
Jadon Sancho was sold last two summer before Erling Haaland was sold to Manchester City last summer and now Jude Bellingham has left for Real Madrid. I think the club's transfer strategy isn't concerned by the success of the team rather they're more concerned by how much they make as gains when they sell these players. They might also be lucky raise another great player before the end of next season and still sell him at the end of the season

I think we should not forget where Borussia Dortmund is coming from. In the late 1990s and the early 2000s they were at the same level as Bayern Munich or maybe even ahead of them a few times. In order to do that they had to make very high debts though which almost led them into bankruptcy afterwards. Then Jürgen Klopp came and the club has risen again and they even made it into the Champions League final back in 2013. Still they are pretty far behind Bayern in terms of financials.

Dortmund achieved nothing and there is no reason for them to be happy after this year.
In fact, they lose what they could get easily and maybe even years after that they won't have this chance to have a close race with Bayern Munich and have Bayern Munich in this situation.

I also think that the outcome of this season was very tragic for Borussia Dortmund. The sad reality in the Bundesliga is, that other teams only have a chance to become Bundesliga champion if Bayern Munich is playing a very very bad season for their standards because otherwise they are just to strong. This season that was the case and still Borussia Dortmund somehow managed to screw it all up in the very last match. I think they won't get another such big chance again so quickly.

At FC Bayern Munich will change something in the defense this year. They have spent a lot of money in the last years on de Ligt, Upamecano and Hernandez and now something will change. Thats why they asked Manchester Citys about Kyle Walker. He is 33, but I think he should bring cleverness to the defense with his experience. His current market value of 15 million euros is also not as expensive as the last players.

I think it was definitely not planned by the officials of Bayern Munich to make big changes in their lineup of defensive players but now they are forced to act. First Benjamin Pavard made it official that he wants to leave the Club this summer and since last week it also seems like that it is already pretty certain that Lucas Hernandez wants to leave Bayern too and go to PSG instead. Especially the loss of Hernandez is severe in my opinion and a proper replacement is needed.

I find so many benefits of Tron like, 
Do you know about all these benefits or any other you want to add on? and which payment processor are you using to transact tron?


I am not really interested in tron therefore i don't have to much knowledge about it but i would say that even if all 4 points that you have listed are true, then those are definitely good features, but nowadays nothing really special anymore. Today we don't only have ETH and BSC as blockchains with smart contract functionality. We now also have projects like Polygon, Solana, Arbitrum and others which are all fast, have low fees and they are all offering smart contracts.

Well its good for PSG that he is staying,a lot of players are leaving PSG and if he leaves they would be really bad next season. They still need to sign a lot of good players if they want to be an elite team like before and with Mbappe they now have hopes and can build a team around him for next season.

As others in this thread have already mentioned a few times, it is actually not good and definitely not in the interest of the officials of Paris Saint Germain if Mbappe wants to stay another year to fulfill his contract but at the same time does not want to prolong it. This means that the most valuable football player in the world will leave the Club for free and it is totally understandable, that PSG wants to avoid that at all costs. They would rather sell him now.

The fans of Chelsea are skeptical of the players' potential because they believe they are not performing up to standards and are not giving their all, but they are unaware that they lack a skilled coach who can bring out the best in them. Chelsea has a wealth of excellent players. Chelsea's talent level allows them to contend for the Premier League championship with the proper coach. If Chelsea loses Kai Havertz and Mason Mount, they may see significant problems down the road if the proper replacement is not found. If Kai Havertz leaves, Chelsea must find a striker to take his position. In addition to Manchester United's interest in Mason Mount and Manchester City's interest in Kovacic, Arsenal and Real Madrid are both interested in Kai Havertz. Chelsea players are sought after by bigger teams, and if they are not careful, they risk losing great talent, like they did with De Bruyne and Mo Salah.

That power shopping that FC Chelsea did during the last winter break was really to me. They have spent the most money ever in a winter transfer period, if i remember correctly, and in the end it did not bring them any benefit even though they have spent so much money (more than 300 Million €). First of all clubs usually don't do big transfers in the winter because obviously it is the middle of the season and you don't have much time then to integrate a new player into the team and in the case of FC Chelsea, they have bought so many new players that it was almost impossible to form them to a team at all. Now they have a squad that is way to big. I think the main thing for Chelsea should be now to get rid of a few players first.
127  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Buy ETH as much as you can.... on: June 16, 2023, 01:57:21 AM
I see ETH to become next blessing in disguise, I remember when it was around $100 people condemned it not to go anywhere within the space of a month interval ETH shuck the price in 500% increase and today is about $1800 let's watch and see ETH will create unbreakable records, channel some useless coins you have to ETH and relax in future.

To be honest i would definitely like to own some ETH myself but sadly i only own a few fractions of it to pay the transaction fees, that are still way to high on the Ethereum network by the way in m opinion. That being said, for me personally, the current price of Ethereum is not really that attractive for me to really buy into it yet. As you already said, only 3 or 4 years ago or so Ethereum was even below 100$ per coin for a short period of time and it even lost his second place in the marketcap ranking to XRP if i remember correctly for a while.
So to buy an asset now for 1600 $ that was below 100$ a few years ago is still not really tempting to me.

It'll be boring watching Manchester City winning the Champions League once again next season, I wasn't disappointed they won the treble, unlike some Manchester United fans, yes I didn't get want them to win the treble, but if it happens next season nah! I'll be damned.
Hahaha.
Manchester United? They're yet to get new players, they need a great depth because they'll not just be playing the Champions League, but to also qualify for the Champions League next season. I hope they get player's capable of fighting for Manchester United.

I also think that Manchester City is again one of the big favorites to win the Champions League again in the next season. First of all they are the defending champions then which automatically gives them a special status and in addition to that they are simply the strongest football team in the world in the last 3 or 5 years or so.
That being said, i definitely think that the chances that ManCity wins the CL next year again are definitely way lower than another club wins it. It is very hard to win the Champions League and most of the time it is not enough to be the best team. You also need luck, timing and efficiency.
Other candidates for the title in my opinion are Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Now Kai Havertz has given the green light to offer a contract with Arsenal after positive indications. I suspect that by recruiting Kai Havertz, Arteta is targeting players who can play in various positions. Hence Caicedo, Cancelo, Timothy Castagne and now Havertz. Chelsea can't even take 70-80% of his potential! If Arsenal manage to pick him up, I'm pretty sure Arteta can put him on par with Kai Havertz. Because Most of the Chelsea players are looking bad right now because they don't have the right manager. But believe me, they have a lot of great players.

I don't really understand why a player like Kai Havertz would like to leave a club like FC Chelsea for Arsenal London. I mean i understand that this season Arsenal played exceptionally well and for the biggest part of the season it even looked like that Arsenal could even become the Premier League champion this year before they got overtaken by ManCity.
If we look at the last 10 or 15 years, then it is pretty obvious though that Arsenal is usually a club that is behind FC Chelsea. So i would still see them as a smaller club then Chelsea even after this season. I also think that next season Arsenal will have a hard time to even reach a rank that qualifies for the Champions League.
130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: June 15, 2023, 11:27:12 AM
I find it very remarkable that so many players from Bayern Munich are unhappy and want to change. I can not remember that it was the case after a season in the last few years.
Ans I am curious about the situation between Neuer and Yann Sommer. Sommer wants still to be the number 1. But if Neuer is fit he will be number 1 again. So far Sommer has also not said whether he wants to leave the club or not.

As far as i know, there are two players that want to leave the club, Benjamin Pavard and Lucas Hernandez. Half a year ago or so there were already rumors that Pavard will have to leave the club but then his performances have gotten better again and he played more. Now it seems like he was not happy that the officials were unhappy with him and now he wants to leave. He is a good player but i think he can be replaced quite easily.
Lucas Hernandez on the other side is a great defender and i am also sure that Bayern would have played way better if Hernandez would have been part of the team after the world cup. So if he really leaves, then this will definitely be a big loss for Bayern and they have to find a proper replacement for him.

There are reports that West ham United rejected the first bid made for Declan Rice and that they were unimpressed by both the size & the structure of Arsenal’s first offer. As Arsenal have made him as their primary target this season I expect Arsenal to make another bid, even though Manchester City will also come in for Rice. IMO I think West ham are just playing to get Arsenal to pay up on time. Manchester City don’t need him and Manchester city isn’t like Todd Boehly that would sign player because rivals want to sign him.

The last news that i have heard about the transfer of Declan Rice was that Arsenal is indeed the favorite now to sign Rice and not Bayern Munich anymore. The article also said though that the transfer fee will be even higher than the one for Jude Bellingham. Those were 103 M€ (plus possible bonuses). This means obviosly that Westham wants more than 103 Million € for Rice which is a very high price in my opinion. We should not forget, that the market value of Jude Bellingham is 120 Million € while Declan Rice is worth "only" 80 M€.
So if i were in charge of Arsenal or Bayern Munich i would definitely not pay more than 110 M€ for Rice. That would just be to much.

This might be the best season for Freiburg to finish in top 4 because Leverkusen made a quite bad start and started to recover really late. But Freiburg wasted this chance as well. After a fight with Union Berlin for this goal the winner was Union Berlin. Especially that loss against Union Berlin by 4-2 on the final weeks caused Freiburg to get behind more and lose their chance significantly.

I think Freiburg board must be satisfied with the work Freiburg have been doing so far anyway. They have already been not a regular in top 4 so being right behind that area is still success for them. As long as they maintain their game quality there should be no problem.

To say that Freiburg has wasted a chance this season after they have finished the Bundesliga season on rank 5 is a pretty weird statement. We should not forget where Freiburg is coming from. Historically it is a club that was relegated down to the second Bundesliga a few times already and the last time was not even that long ago. So every season where Freiburg does not have to fight to stay in the first Bundesliga over the whole 34 matchdays is a very very good one for them in my opinion.
I even think that the good result this year could be dangerous for them in the next season. They have to play Europa League as an additional load so if they have a bad start into the Bundesliga, then it could be a very stressful season for them. We will see.

Arsenal are reported to be interested in Kai Havertz who has two years left on his contract at Chelsea [1]. Recently Real Madrid also were reported to be interested in Havertz but seems to have backed off after Chelsea tag on Havertz of 75-80m Euro around. 75m Euro was also reported to Arsenal and Arsenal also seems to uninterested in paying that much. But from Chelsea point of view, it is understandable given the price they paid to get Havertz from Leverkusen.

I doubt that Real Madrid was really considering to sign Kai Havertz at least in this summer. First of all i think they have a very good offensive midfield already with players like Valverde and Vinicius Jr. and they also need a real number 9 now way more because obviously Benzema has left the club, which was a pretty big surprise for the Real officials i would guess because their initial plan was to play another season with Benzema and then for the next one they would try to get Haaland.
Now Real is forced to buy a new number 9 immediately and they need a very good one. So i doubt they have funds left for Havertz or any other player that is not even needed that much.
134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 14, 2023, 02:45:37 PM
Vinicius Junior is the future of Real Madrid. Losing him would mean a lot to them. But now he has lost Benzema with whom he has been getting along. He will need a new striker like him to have a strong relationship in the attacking line again. For now this isn't certain though. Kane and Osimhen names are coming one step forward now as you know.

Mbappe is also going to join the team most probably but there is still time for that. Because he is going to play at PSG for one more season. When he comes Real Madrid will need to build the attacking line well because he is also a centre-forward.

Real Madrid definitely needs a new central striker for their team now that Benzema is gone. I think the situation of Bayern Munich in this season where they had no real number 9 the first time that i remember after Lewandowski has left the club made it pretty obvious that a really good central striker is just a big plus for every team.
The question is, if Real Madrid can realize another big transfer in this summer. They have already bought Jude Bellingham for 103 M€ (+ possible bonuses). So Real probably has to sell one of their current players first before they can go for a transfer of Harry Kane or Osimhen.

I have been gone for a while and now I am back, I am fully prepared to build some long term hold bags with the new trending utilities in the crypto space, I still somehow believe that Metaverse and A.I will generate big gains by 2025, what coins are you currently looking forward to accumulating? Out of Metaverse and Artificial intelligence is fine.

I have used the bear market of the last 12 months or so to buy me some Atom (Cosmos) and also some NEAR because so far i mainly have pretty new and small cap projects in my portfolio and sadly those are always doing very very bad during bear market some of them are even completely dying. Therefore i also wanted to have some big projects in my portfolio. I have chosen Atom and NEAR because both of them are also offering native staking and i see this as an extra bonus to increase your number of coins while i am holding. I plan to held them a few years at least. I have to say though that with the recent crash because of the SEC Binance news i am now in the loss zone with both those investments.
136  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to Know the Next PEPE on: June 13, 2023, 07:37:54 PM
In 2021 i wrote an article on medium and created a YT tutorial on how to spot a memecoin project that will become something.
From that teaching, here are the two key factors to look out for.
1. Community:
It is community that gives speculative value to memecoin. So, the bigger and the cult-like a community is the better. It shows alot of the community will buy and create hype for the project.
2. Strategic Partnerships:
How is associated with the memecoin? If it's a notable influencer like Elon Musk, it'll moon.
What other factors do you think influence memecoin projects?

To be honest i think that especially with meme-coins you can do your research as thoroughly as possible but in the end it is to 99% pure luck that decides if you invest into a meme-coin that is doing well or into one that is dead again within a few days, that is never really taking off or that is simply an outright scam from the start. There are just so many stupid meme-coins launching each and every day that it is almost impossible to get into a project like Shiba Inu or PEPE early enough to get life-changing profits.
So my personal advice would be to simply avoid meme-coins in general. They suck and they are harmful for the crypto market as a whole in my opinion.
137  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 13, 2023, 07:32:40 PM
Mbappe is following a very obvious strategy. He has made a statement saying that he wants to fulfill his contract until 2024, but he will under no circumstances activate the option for another year. He is now playing the ball to PSG management and they have to decide what to do. Let him go for nothing next season? Or sell him and take the money. But this way Mbappe makes sure that PSG will be the ones who want to sell him, not other clubs pressing who want to buy him. That way he can lower his price tag. Real Madrid is definitely ready to join the bidding round.

Seems like the two options for PSG are now to either try to prolong the current contract to a few more years or the second and probably more likely option is that PSG will sell Mbappe in 2023. It is not a secret that Mbappe already wanted to leave Paris before the start of this season to go to Real Madrid but somehow this did not work out. Now it seems that he is definitely sure now that he wants to leave PSG no matter what. The question is, if a transfer is doable at the moment for Real Madrid. They have just bought Bellingham for over 100 M€ from Borussia Dortmund so i doubt they can do another huge transfer in this summer.
Also Mbappe is earning 72 M€ per season at PSG which is by far the biggest salary for a footballer in europe.
138  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 13, 2023, 10:48:44 AM
I doubt the news, Maybe he likes to leave, but as usual, he will not. Mbappe has been one of the major players in that PSG team. In important games where he does not play, we always see how PSG struggle because that his ability to make quick runs and score with just a touch will be missing in the game. With Messi now out of PSG and Neymar set to leave too, Mbappe knows there will be more responsibility for him. PSG will get new players in the transfer market, that can majorly play with him to win the champions league in PSG, he is not leaving.

I also doubt that Mbappe will leave PSG in this summer. I am pretty sure though that he wants to go to another club in the next one or two years. It is obvious by now that Paris Saint Germain is not the club to be in if you want to win the Champions League and i am pretty sure that Mbappe really wants to win that trophy at least once.
PSG spent an ridiculous amount of money to sign those 3 superstars but 3 players are just not enough to win you a title. For me PSG is a good example how money does not automatically win you titles. They have all those money from the sheikh but they just have to little knowledge about football to make use out of it.
They could have probably signed 15 absolute top players for the money that they have spent for Mbappe, Messi and Neymar, but they went for the huge names, like a 12 year old kid would do.
139  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will China takeover as the leader in blockchain and start the new bull market? on: June 13, 2023, 10:44:17 AM
Many similar questions are being asked about China after rumors of a blockchain is being backed by Beijing. There are some people who say that it is Conflux, however, there is a blockchain developed by Beijing academy of blockchain called Chain Maker, where government controlled businesses like Tencent and China Construction are also supporting the project.

I don't follow the world wide political developments regarding crypto currencies that closely but since i am interested in cryptos which started in 2017 i always got the impression that China is very repressive regarding cryptos and they have introduced quite a few laws in the last few years to get more control over cryptos, to restrict them or to even ban them.
Of course with the recent developments in the US it seems like other countries could use that opportunity to position themself as a crypto friendly area because in the end the crypto space is a multi billion $ industry and every country that is welcoming this industry could make a lot of money with it.
140  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: June 11, 2023, 03:55:27 PM
It was perhaps City's worst game of the season. And also in the CL you can sometimes play a lesser match. I think Inter's battle plan has worked very well, but then you see that a striker like Lukaku is just below the world top, a good striker of course heads that ball in without any problems. And Lukkau also got in the way of a header from his teammate. So I think City were very lucky and Inter maybe should have won based on the number of chances. But City have played beautiful football for so long throughout the season, then you can also be lucky to win a title. Guardiola is most welcome.

As many others I was also pretty surprised about how close this match yesterday was. I mean it was a totally even game and Inter Milan was definitely not the worse team yesterday. As you already said, they had some good chances to score themself and in the end one goal decided that final. On Paper Manchester City was the huge favorite and before the match it seemed like the only way that ManCity could lose was if they are incredibly unlucky with many missed great chances to score and Inter going in front after a corner or a free kick out of nowhere, but then the match went down completely different.
Then of course over the whole season City has definitely deserved to win it.
