Yep, it is as expected. It is easy to predict Al Nassr will win the match because they defeated Al-Khaleej in SPL match. But in this match Ronaldo looks to play more aggressively, he may have a big motivation to win the trophy of this competition. The trophy of Saudi King Cup is the only trophy that Al Nassr still possibly wins in this season. They already lost the chance to win SPL trophy and AFC Champions League.

Ronaldo could score 3 goals (hattrick) if he wants to execute the penalty kick. But Ronaldo gives the chance to score to Mane. Even if Ronaldo has a big ambition, I can appreciate how Ronaldo treats his teammate. He isn't egoistic to score goals in any chance, he wants to share with others.

It is not SPL match, dude. It is the semi-final of Saudi King Cup. 

What makes the match Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich surprising? I think a draw result is still reasonable, both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are in the same level. I think the result of the match Dortmund vs PSG is more surprising. PSG is the favorite team to qualify for the final round, but Dortmund defeated them in Leg 1. Even if PSG has many chances to score goals, Dortmund can defend their defense very well. Sure, this also can happen in the match Roma vs Leverkusen. If the defenders of AS Roma can play solidly, Leverkusen may get difficulty to score goals. Then, AS Roma may take the advantage of the situation if Leverkusen players feel frustrated. However, I still believe that Leverkusen players can keep their good mentality until the end of the match. If we learned the last few matches of Leverkusen, they often scored goals in injury time. It means they never give up until the end of the match. It indicates Leverkusen players have a winning mentality.

I guess Leverkusen can win the match with a narrow score, or get a draw result in Leg 1. Leverkusen wants to keep the unbeaten status, they also dreams to win Europa league title this season. Their achievement will be perfect if they also win the title from Europa league.

Dortmund succeed to win in Leg 1. I think it is because Dortmund played with a better motivation, they played more aggressive. PSG got difficulty to equalize the goal because Dortmund players have a good confident to dal with any attack of PSG players. Dortmund can keep up PSG game, it showed that they have almost the same stats of shot attempts.

I'm not so surprised with this. It is because PSG players can't play with a calm mind after they got a conceded goal. They too hurry to equalize the score, that makes them to waste many shot attempts. However, leading with 1 goal only isn't secure for Dortmund to qualify for the final. PSG still has a chance to overtake it in the next match.

Sebelum investasi ke Bitcoin, sebaiknya paham dulu seperti apa market crypto dan karakteristik Bitcoin. Sebenarnya bukan hanya volatilitas harga yang perlu dipahami, tapi lebih dari itu. Kalau pahamnya cuman histori naik turun harga, kemungkinan masih bakal gampang panik disaat ada FUDs dan harga anjlok. Tapi kalau benar-benar paham seperti apa market crypto dan ngerti Bitcoin secara mendalam, maka saya yakin tidak bakal gampang panik. BTW memang sudah seharusnya pake uang sendiri untuk investasi di Bitcoin. Sebaiknya jangan pernah berpikir untuk pake uang orang lain, apalagi sampe pinjam uang besar-besaran hanya karena terpancing isu-isu beredar mengenai potensi untung jutaan selama musim bullish.

Iya, kalau dilihat dari monthly data kemungkinan bakal ada beberapa bulan untuk koreksi. Kenaikan harga BTC sudah dimulai dari bulan September 2023 sampe bulan maret 2024. Itu reli kenaikan yang cukup lama, sepertinya ini yang terlama sepanjang sejarah. Dengan 7 bulan green market, sepertinya paling tidak kita bakal mengalamai 3-4 bulan untuk red market. Saya sependapat kalau kemungkinan mulai berangsur naik lagi mendekati akhir tahun. Mungkin di bulan Agustus atau Sepertember mulai ada reli naik lagi.

You're right. Bitcoin never guarantees security, it also never guarantees for profits. For the security reason, we must understand how to manage the key phrase of the wallets and know where the best place to store Bitcoin. So far, non-custodial wallet is a better place for storing Bitcoin because we have a control of the wallet. But if we can't manage the private keys in a proper way, we also can lose the Bitcoin if we lose the private keys data.

Bitcoin is a legal tender in El Salvador. Sure, it can be a payment tool in El Salvador. However, it doesn't mean Bitcoin is the only payment tool there, El Salvador still uses Dollars for the payment tool. Anyway, I think we can't claim El Salvador be a rich country when we have no data about this. Also, we don't if they succeed or not in Bitcoin investment.

Why we blame the owner of Napoli? He didn't fire Spalletti, it is the own intention of Spalletti to leave the team. We must understand that Spalletti was leaving Napoli because he wants to be the coach (manager) of Italian national team. The owner of Napoli can't keep him staying in Napoli, Spalletti has his own right to decide leaving Napoli and be the manager of Italy.

It is sad that Napoli management can't get a proper coach to replace the position of Spalletti. Rudi Garcia, Walter Mazzarri, and Francesco Calzona still can't make Napoli to perform as well as in the era of Spalletti. Napoli is only in the 9th place now, it is too much different from Napoli position in the last season. In the last year, Napoli was leading the table of Serie A. But now, Napoli is struggling to stay in the top 10 of Serie A standings. It is too sad story of Napoli in this season. Napoli won't play in UCL or UEL anymore in the next season.

There is still 2 years remaining for Lewandowski's contract in Barcelona. But if Barcelona management wants to replace him with a new striker, the next transfer window will be a good time to sell him. With his current age (35 years old), I think there is still some teams in Europe or top teams from Saudi league to try signing him. Lewandowski still can play in the next 3 years at least.

I don't really know Alexander Isak, not sure whether this player deserves to be the main striker of Barcelona. However, his performance looks quite well in this season, he could score 19 goals in EPL from 26 matches. He is also still young and has enough experience in some big teams (Dortmund, Real Sociedad, Newcastle). But his market value is quite high, it is €70m. I think Newcastle set a minimum price above €80m. How Barcelona can get €80m? I don't think it is enough with the money got from Lewandowski.

Vitor Roque may be quite skillful but he is lack of experience. I think this may be the reason why Barcelona doesn't want to rely on him as the main striker for the next season. I think Vitor Roque is better to stay for another season in Barcelona. Barcelona has lack of striker now, it is not a wise decision to loan Vitor Roque.

Luton will fight against Everton, West Ham, and Fulham. Nottingham will fight against Sheffield United, Chelsea, and Burnley. Meanwhile Burnley will fight against Newcastle, Tottenham, and Nottingham. If we analyze the opponents of those teams, Nottingham looks to secure from the relegation zone. Nottingham can get 3 points in 2 matches at least (against Sheffield and Burnley). So, there will be no change in the position of the teams in relegation zone if we consider the next 3 matches.

Yep. Man City will play against Wolves, Fulham, Tottenham, and West Ham. Man City should have no problem to play against Wolves and Fulham. But Man City can't underestimate Tottenham and West Ham. I think Man City still has a chance to lose points when they play against these teams. Although Arsenal may have more difficult matches, it is not impossible that Arsenal can secure their current position in the top of EPL standings.

Indeed. Investing in Bitcoin must be based on our own desire, don't invest because of following others only. There are too many failed people because they have no knowledge, they just follow others. This is a bad idea, investing in Bitcoin should have good knowledge. Although Bitcoin is a quite safe coin but it doesn't automatically give profits. We must know the market trend, the cycle, and always update the current news.

Anyway, taking a research is a must, it is an important part of investment. Without a research, we only gamble with Bitcoin because we don't know anything about the potential of Bitcoin.

You're right. If we don't want to take a research, it is surely high risk to put money in Bitcoin or any other crypto coins. Moreover if we have no good emotion-control, it is a bad idea to invest for a long time in Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin investment is for patient people only, it is because we need to wait for years to take profits.

Some altcoins may start to be pumped but it doesn't always the sign of altcoins season. As long as Bitcoin is still dominating the market, altcoins season won't happen. Until now, I think Bitcoin is dominating the market, it is not the time for altcoins season yet. I think the altcoins season may start in the middle of this year, it is probably in Q3 of 2024. The Bitcoin halving is just over for the few days ago, it is too early for the beginning of the altcoins season. So, altcoins holders must be more patient to wait for the real altcoins seasons.

They are not idiots, they want to take the advantage from the current situation of Salah in Liverpool. As we know that Salah has a bad relationship with Klopp and Liverpool management lately. Not sure what the main problem to cause this bad situation. However, this increases the chance of Salah to leave Liverpool. Al Ittihad doesn't want to lose the chance of signing him. So, they showed their interest very early, they want to sign him although Salah still has 1 year contract with Liverpool.

If Al Ittihad waits for Salah one year more, Al Ittihad may be more difficult to sign him because there are many teams to try signing Salah with a free agent status. It makes sense because there is no need to pay transfer fees if the player is in a free agent status.

It is not only you, most people expect the same thing. Leverkusen vs AS Roma should be in the final round because they are the favorite teams to win the Europa league trophy. Sure, they must face one another in the current round, this can be a difficult match to predict. However, Leverkusen is still the most phenomenal team during this season. Even if AS Roma should have the chance to beat Leverkusen, but I think it is rather small chance. The most possible thing to happen is Leverkusen to defeat AS Roma. Leverkusen is still unbeaten in all competitions, they probably won't have a problem to beat AS Roma. Moreover Roma performance looked not really stable lately, they got a draw against Napoli and got a defeat against Bologna.

Yep. Bayern Munich actually played better, they have more chances to score goals. But they have no good accuracy in shooting, so they only scored 2 goals. Real Madrid is lucky that Bayern Munich attackers have no good accuracy. Sure, it is quite unpredictable that Real Madrid didn't play more attacking, they played rather defensive. I think Ancelotti want's to know how the tactics of Bayern Munich first, Ancelotti also tried to minimize the chances of Bayern attackers in scoring goals. He looked quite successful, the match ended with a draw and Real Madrid got 2 goals at least. I assume Real Madrid will play more attacking in Leg 2, it is when they play at home.

Indeed. It is a good advantage to have 2 goals. Bayern Munich lost a chance to lead the aggregate in Leg 1. Next match, it will be the advantage for Real Madrid because they will play at home. I think this condition is increasing the opportunity of Real Madrid qualifying for the next round.  

It can be true that it sometimes doesn't depend on your education level. Whether you're bachelor or not, it doesn't always determine the capability of earning money from certain jobs. However, in certain jobs, it requires the minimum education level. If you're not a bachelor's degree, you can't join the jobs. It is untrue that a diploma is just a formality, it is achieved after we got a long process of learning. But I can agree that it doesn't always determine our future. 

Exactly. There should be some people who can be successful although they don't experience the process of further education level. But the people must have certain skills, so they can work on some possible jobs. It is impossible to succeed if we have nothing, no success without knowledge.

Ya. Yang namanya aset sudah sewajarnya tidak dipublikasikan, terlebih lagi ini aset negara. Meskipun tanpa clue untuk tau akses walletnya, tapi yang namanya hacker bisa saja tertarik dengan informasinya jika itu dipublish. Hacker bisa mencoba-coba berbagai cara untuk sampe ke akses walletnya. Ya contohnya kasus di atas. Kalau sampai Bitcoinnya disimpan di situ, sudah rugi banyak itu El Salvador.

Tidak ada yang berubah dengan kredibilitas sistem crypto. Tidak ada yang namanya sistem aman 100%, tentu ada saja celahnya. Sudah ada banyak kejadian kasus peretasan, bahkan di exchange terbaik dunia sekalipun. Jadi kalaupun Chivo Wallet bisa diretas, itu bukan hal yang mengejutkan.

BTW meskipun BTC itu legal tender di El Salvador, masyarakat El Salvador memang masih menggunakan fiat, Om. Kan Bitcoin itu cuman ditambahkan menjadi alat tukar yang legal di sana, bukan satu-satunya. Mata uang resmi mereka (dollar US) tetap digunakan.

It will remain uncertain as long as Mbappe doesn't make any decision for his next season. It will be clear if he extends his contract in PSG or signs a contract with a new club (Real Madrid, etc). Many people expect Mbappe to leave PSG, but we don't know the decision to be made by him. Only Mbappe who knows his future!

Indeed. If PSG failed again to win UCL, Mbappe has no reason to stay with PSG. Mabappe has won varied trophies but he still missed winning UCL trophy. This season they almost reach the final round. Most people predicted that Real Madrid vs PSG will be the final UCL round. This is the time for PSG to prove that he is a good team, too.

The match is over already, Real Madrid keep their leading with 1 goal. Real Madrid wins the match, Arda Guller contributed by making a single goal in this match. Yep, it is the first goal of Arda Guler for Real Madrid. He still plays rarely because Real Madrid has many players with the same positions as Arda Guller. He also even has a problem with injury, so he just gets the time to play lately.

With this result, Real Madrid is more comfortable in leading La Liga. I think there is no way that Barcelona to overtake Real Madrid. So, we can say that Real Madrid has won the title of La Liga for this season.

Indeed. When Zidane and Xabi Alonso will manage 2 strong teams in Bundesliga, it will be an interesting competition. Honestly, I don't know to favor any of them, both are my idol managers (favorite managers). Zidane has proven that he succeeded to manage Real Madrid in the past, he even win UCL trophy in a row 3 times. This is something very difficult to achieve by any other coaches. Meanwhile for Xabi Alonso, he is amazing because he makes a great record with Bayer Leverkusen this season. Leverkusen is unbeaten in all competitions under Xabi's management. I can't imagine how the competition of Bundesliga trophy if Zidane really manages Bayern Munich.

The latest news I heard that Xavi has decided to stay with Barcelona. Xavi still wants to manage Barcelona, he changes his mind of leaving Barcelona. Not sure why he finally decided to stay but this means that Xavi won't move to another team. The rumor of Xavi may be the candidate of Bayern Munich new coach is clear, it is impossible because he has decided to stay.

I think it is no problem to have the salary in USDT as long as the amount of the salary is satisfying. 
I won't keep the USDT but I will convert it on the exchange directly. It won't be difficult to sell the USDT in exchanges, we just need to have CEX account. Since it is a stablecoin, it has no huge volatility in the price. So, I think it is secure enough to be the salary of everyone.

We can convert it to dollars anytime. It can be through regular withdrawal in the exchange account, the dollars will be sent to our bank account ourselves. Or we also can use p2p transactions, it can also be an alternative in converting the USDT to bank accounts.

Ya. Cold storage bisa menjadi tempat yang pas untuk menyimpan Bitcoin yang dimiliki negara sekelas Amerika. Tapi pada kasus yang pernah terjadi, pemerintah Amerika mempercayakan ke pihak ketiga untuk menyimpan Bitcoin sitaan. Anchorage Digital adalah salah satu pihak yang diajak pemerintah Amerika untuk melakukan ini.

Ya benar, Om. Makanya saya agak meragukan sumber dari informasinya.

Mungkin saja. Tidak semua hal bisa dipublikasikan oleh pemerintah. Apalagi terkait aset negara yang harus dijaga keamanannya.
