Because of the high rate of inflation in my country it would be very unwise to save money for a long term.
I do save money, but I do it to solve short term problems, like pay for house rent, buy a gadget, etc. And it usually within 2 to 4 months. Yea, there should be money kept aside for rainy days. I don't think saving is a bad thing, but saving when you can be investing that money is not prudent. Instead of just leaving the money to be sitting pretty in the bank, we should put the money to work. That money should be able to grow and bring more money for us in the long run.
Also, because investing is good doesn't mean we should just dive to any available investment scheme we see. We have to be careful and research thoroughly before we put our hard earned money into anything.

Madrid woul be the best destination for Harry Kane. Madrid would definitely guarantee him more trophies. Man United on the other hand can go the whole of next season without winning a trophy. But since Kane isn't leaving England, which is not a surprise, Manchester United is the best option. He's a perfect fit for United.
Kane is a very big asset to any team. He's such a good striker and United needs something like that. The way Ten Hag plays, he needs a striker that won't just be in the box waiting for the ball and Kane is the definition of a modern day striker. He's so underrated because if we're been honest, he has more than underachieved when it comes to trophies.

United should buy Madison and forget about Mount. They already have Bruno Fernandez who plays a similar role to Mount. They need a player like Madison than can take on the Erisksen role. Man United also needs a right winger. They can't rely on Antony and Garnacho.

If you don't know Kolo Muani then you probably didn't watch the 2022 world cup final or you weren't invested in it like I was. He's good but I don't know if he can feel the striker role for Man United. Kolo Muani has scored 23 goals and provided 24 assist for Frankfurt this season.

Barcelona is no way the best team in Europe but did you just say Barça don't deserve the league title they won? Really? A team won the league with about 4 or 5 games to spare and yet they don't deserve the league? They won the league with like 13 points but you said they don't deserve the league? Oh c'mon! I agree Barcelona have been poor in Europe and that's not excusable but they 100% deserved to win the league. They only started dropping points an conceding goals after they had won the trophy already.
No team in La Liga deserved to win the trophy more than Barcelona. Despite their injuries they still managed to win crucial league games and won the trophy. Please, give Barcelona their floweres because they deserve it.

Lukaku did two things wrong in the match. One was not even entirely his fault. One was the chance he missed and the other was when he blocked Oscar Dimarco's header. What more do you expect of him.
Dzeko was non existent in that match before the injury so there was no guarantee that he would have been better.
Before you miss chances you would have been involved in the game. Dzeko didn't miss any because he wasn't involved.
You don't judge how a player performed by how many chances he missed. L. Martinez missed a couple of chances, does that mean he played badly?
Inter were a little bit unlucky, plus Man City was really good in defense too. Inter player well but the day just went to Manchester City.

Bitcoin is the only coin I can say this about, to be honest. It's only with Bitcoin that I can say your patience will surely be rewarded. And even with Bitcoin, it's very difficult. Some that invested in Bitcoin during the ATH till when it dipped to $16k have not been able to recover their losses. Now if it was most of the altcoins out there, it will be a wise decision to sell as a loss because there is every possibility that that coin will never grow again, there is even the possibility that the coin might be worthless, but that is not the case with Bitcoin.

This right here is part of the problem. A lot of people are just lazy and do not want to take their own security up by themselves. They don't trust themselves enough. So they rather keep it with a centralized company that can keep it safe for the. I don't blame them. It's what they're used to and change can be hard. We were born into this system and a lot of factors will try to stop us from breaking out of that system because the system makes it comfortable.

Just as @slapper said, Bitcoin also comes with its own risk. There's no point in using Bitcoin for its security purposes and not being able to keep your coin secured by yourself.

I love the analogy you used with the very secure house and the unsecured key. It gives a real-like definition of not protecting your wallet properly no matter how secure Bitcoin might be.

The problem is in countries like this, the authorities don't really care if the dealer committed a crime or not. Most of the time they see the dealer as a fraud because they don't really understand how all this works.
Other times, these traders receive money that was gotten through fraud or money from an account that was under red notice by the authorities. What's worst is these traders may not know anything about the source of the money or the account the money came from. Things can get really messy for them at this point.
They all just gotta be careful if they are in countries where Bitcoin and other crypto activities are frowned upon.

Most people do not want to put maximum effort into what they do. They just want to do the barest minimum and become successful. It doesn't work like that. The barest minimum might get you a few bucks, but it won't help you become successful. Nothing in life is going to come easily. We have to work for it.
I don't think giving it your full time alone is enough. You have to be diligent in your craft. Always try to be better, always learn new things. That's the way to grow and get better. Before you start making money in whatever you do, you have to develop yourself first. 

No matter how much I see this kind of topic on this forum and on any other platform, I always feel it's not been said enough. You'd be surprised at the number of people who still use exchanges, especially CEXs as their wallets. They just comfortably leave coins worth a very huge amount of money in exchanges. What borders me more is the fact that these guys are not newbies, they are people who have been in the industry for quite a while.
Just recently I heard about a guy that was a big gun among traders in my country who left over $80k worth of coins in his finance account and used his Binance account to receive coins that were gotten through fraud unknown to him.
The fraud was traced to his account. Binance reported him to his home authority where he was arrested and taken to court and his account was frozen by finance along with all the money in it.
That placed him in a very difficult situation because most of the money where money from investors and he had to pay it back. It placed him in so much debt.

I am one of those who believes that money can buy happiness. What most people misunderstand is that when you have money then all your troubles would be solved, it is not always true. Maybe money will solve all the problems you currently have but troubles will always be a part of life. But amidst all those troubles you can still be happy if you have money.
Personally, I don't think I'd ever be happy if I don't have money. I can't be broke and happy. And yea, I know no amount of money would be enough, but there's a certain amount of money that will make you happy. The kind money of that can afford everything you want at any given time.

They will most likely not be losing Kvaratskhelia during this summer transfer window. Napoli is not an easy club to do business, especially with a player they do not want to sell. Kvaratskhelia will remain because Napoli might slap a 150 million Euros price tag on him and no club is breaking the bank to get him just yet.
Osimhen is valued at around 80 million, meaning they'll get enough money to get a good replacement. If Napoli can just get a better coach to handle the team, they will be just fine.
The sale of Min Jae too would be felt, but I heard he's joining Liverpool for about 50 million. That is a lot of money to get you reinforcement. So Napoli would be good next season. It just depends on the coach they hire.

I so much disagree with your first sentence. "Easily"? Not at all. Both teams are of the same quality at this point and if we go by recent performance and their performance altogether, Fiorentina has a better chance. But we know how the final can be. So I'm predicting it to be a very close game. Im going to lean a little bit towards Fiorentina to win the game. West is in good form in the tournament too, so they can't be judged by their league form which is not very good, but they've been awesome in the conference league and they are going to put up a fight tonight. Looking forward to the game.

You guys make this Roma squad look so ass, so it can look as if Mourinho did what was impossible. Roma has a better squad than Sevilla. Roma has almost the same squad as Napoli. I'm not saying they have a squad t win the Champions League and Serie A, but that Roma squad is a squad that should in the top four and nobody should be surprised if that team wins the Europa League.
Mourinho is good in his own way, no doubt, but this season, he was not that great, even the season before that. He managed to win the Conference League and that was what made it look as if he was fantastic.

This should be common knowledge, but unfortunately, it isn't. Manchester City is a team all their players can create opportunities and all their players can score goals. Halland is their best goal scorer while De Bruyne is their best creator, but that doesn't mean Halland is the only good goal scorer. Bernado's first goal against Madrid, only a good goal scorer can score goals like that. Gundigan is a good goal scorer, and Foden, and De Bryune all score fantastic goals.
Halland adds more to this Manchester City team than just goals, but his goals are his biggest impact.

Halland is by a mile a better player than Gabriel Jesus. If they were wingers with the same ability, then Jesus might be better, but as strikers, Jesus is not as good as Halland. Gabriel Jesus might be better on the ball than Halland, but when it comes to their actual jobs as strikers which is scoring goals, only three players in the world right now can be compared to Halland in that regard.

I haven't confirmed these rumors to be true or not, but PSG really need to fire Christopher Gaiter. I am not a fan of the PSG handle footballing business, but they will be right to fire Christopher Gaiter.
Have you seen PSG okay? My god, they're awful. I know they lack the right amount of players in some areas of the pitch, but PSG has no right to play that poorly. They even tipped the league with a difference of just one point, that's to show how awful they were.
With the kind of form Lens was in this season, if they had deep pockets like PSG, they would have won the league convincingly.
Part of PSG's problem is bad sport management, but a big part of this poor form this season from from having a mediocre coach.

Funny enough there's still a debate among these guys if cryptocurrencies should be classified as commodities or securities.
If it's commodity like petrol and the rest then it should be regulated by the CFTC. The CFTC will also regulate it if crypto is accepted as a currency because they regulate currency trading too.

If Crypto is a security like Bonds and stock then it will be regulated by the SEC.
According to the Howey test, something can be a security if
1. Money is invested
2. There is an expectation that the investor will make profit
3. The investment is in a common enterprise
4. Profit are generated through the effort of others.

What's funnier is the fact that the SEC chairman said majority of cryptocurrencies are securities but he excluded Bitcoin. I have so many questions about this.

When they say "invest what you can afford to lose" doesn't mean don't take risk. We should always take risk but they should be calculated risk and they should be risk that won't wreck you if things go sideways. Investments on its own is a risk.
Risk is inevitable if we want to be better people in life. Investments should always be made, risk will always be taken but we should be smart about it. Don't take risk that will put you in a difficult situation later on. Taking a risk that will wreck you if it fails is also a gamble. If it works then fine, but if it doesn't you're in a whole lot shit.

Even now Bitcoin is measured in other currency. I mean, everybody knows what Bitcoin is what in their various local currency. Dollar is only used because it's the global recognized currency. There's no bond with dollar and Bitcoin, that will make Bitcoin worthless if dollar becomes worthless.


This is exactly how it will be. Without Bitcoin, there will be no crypto. Even if some alt coins still remain, they will lose a lot of trust and people won't want to go near them.
People will be like, if Bitcoin that is the most trusted and biggest coin that crash how much more alt coins.
It's not going to happen though, all these are hypothetical.

A lot o people who work do not believe in the idea of investing. They believe they can just save for the rainy day or save for retirement.
With the rate at which inflation is increasing, it is really not advisable to just save. I know everybody needs savings, but a part of that savings we're making should be used for investments.
Investment is risky, it is simpler to just save the money, but if we always go for the simpler options we will never get what want.
Investing can never be overestimated. Without investment we can never attain financial freedom. No matter how much you make frome the job you do, you need to invest in other for you to grow. 

Everything you listed here cannot help you overcome inflation.
There's literally no way you can overcome inflation if you leave in a country that is plunged by inflation.
If you save money, that money will lose value buly the time you're ready to use it. You may save $250 for 6 months and at the end of the six month, that money won't be able to afford what it could afford 6 months ago if you leave in a country with high inflation rate.

Preparing for emergency and looking for additional income, doesn't take the inflation away. Yea you would have more more, but you'll still be affected by the inflation because commodities would be expensive.

In a country like mine, bother the domestic and foreign product are affected by inflation. The people providing the domestic goods and/or service live in the same country as you, so if they don't increase the price of their commodity they might end up selling at a loss because of the increased cost of production caused by inflation.

Investing still doesn't help you overcome inflation. Your investment doesn't take the inflation away. In an inflation, the price of everything goes up, even the price of investment.
Your investment would only not be affected by inflation depending on what you invest in, like Bitcoin.
