Arsenal really wasted the chance. They should have 3 points, but it was ended, I don't know why they couldn't win in the match. Whereas they had so many chances to score goals. With this result, Arsenal may lose their position in the first rank because Man City keeps closing and approaching. If Arsenal can't get point in the match against Man City, they may lose the big chance to win EPL title this season. They must try to get draw or win against Man City.
Arsenal ranking will really very threatened considering they have a fairly close proximity to Manchester City. arsenal experienced two matches with a draw which made them fail to widen the distance from manchester city. Arsenal must become champions this season with a note that they cannot lose or draw in the upcoming match because that will make the atmosphere worse for them in the standings table.

Manchester city is in a pretty good situation after Arsenal failed to gain full points in the last two matches. it will be an extraordinary enthusiasm for Manchester City to reclaim the top ranking of the standings from Arsenal.

Bochum has often been an obstacle to wins for the top teams and this time they managed to draw against Union Berlin away. Surely this is not the result that Union Berlin wanted because they could not get an additional three important points so they could be closer to Dortmund. On the other hand, Bochum must win the game next week to be safer from the relegation zone. A few notes added to the results of this match, previously Bochum managed to beat Leipzig and also held Frankfurt and lost only 1 time in the last 5 matches of the bundesliga, so I think Bochum has had quite significant results in its last few matches.
Bochum is trying hard to get away from the relegation zone, they are struggling even though it is quite difficult for them to get full points but their hard work being able to get 1 point means a lot to them.  just look at the teams that are at the bottom of their standings, they have a point gap that is close enough that they have to try hard to make the most of every game they play.

For Union Berlin, a draw was not the result they expected because they were against a low-ranked team, but a draw is also an extraordinary evaluation for them to improve the quality of their game in the upcoming matches.

AC Milan has shown a winning mentality ahead of Napoli; they've met twice recently and won both games. Napoli lost to them in both Serie A and the Champions League. The second leg encounter will still be difficult to predict who will win because Napoli’s key scorer Osimhen will be present; perhaps this will increase the players' confidence to play to win AC Milan in the Champions League second leg.
it is possible that the second leg will belong to Napoli if they are able to play aggressively from the early minutes. Osimhen will be a big enough hero for Napoli if he is able to bring victory to Napoli in the second leg later.

I believe Napoli can turn things around because losing 1-0 to AC Milan in the first leg has not broken their hopes because they lost by a narrow score. Spalletti must be able to get Napoli to end their bad streak against AC Milan if they are to qualify for the next round.
In the Bayern Munich vs Manchester City match, I believe that Manchester City will be able to control this match because they won a big win in the first leg. Only a miracle can turn things around for Bayern Munich.

I am a Real Madrid fan realistically, but I think it's over. No way, Barcelona is going to drop 10 or more points in the remaining 10 matches while Real Madrid wins all the remaining matches. Not even in my wildest fantasies. The only thing Real Madrid is probably trying to do is cement their place in second position, since Atlético Madrid is not so far away in the third place. If they win their match, they will be just 2 points behind Real Madrid.
10 points is the difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona haven't played their 29th match this season, so if Barcelona wins again, the point difference this week will be 13 points. barcelona is one step ahead of becoming the laliga champion this season so they will focus every game as best they can especially since there is no other competition that is preventing them from focusing primarily on laliga.

In this match, Real Madrid played quite well because they were able to make 35 shots and 11 on target, but only two goals were scored in the match which were scored by Nacho and Asensio.

Bayern Munich has again wasted points, but DOrtmund has failed to take advantage of that unfortunately. 0-2 ahead and deep into injury time it was also 2-3. Dortmund certainly has chances to become champions, but you have to take every chance you get, because you won't get that many chances again. I wonder if Bayern Munich will perform a bit better, by far the worst season in the last 10 years or maybe longer. The goodwill factor is very high at Dortmund, but of course you won't make it with that alone. There is still hope for Schalke m not to be relegated directly.
The top two teams in the bundesliga suffered unlucky fate this week because these two teams both won a draw which made their ranking unchanged this week. Dortmund lost full points in this game even though they were able to score early but they failed to make the most of this game to get 3 points because the change in the scheme of play in the second half affected their situation.

for Bayern Munich they also suffered almost the same fate as Dortmund because Bayern Munich were able to score early but unfortunately they were unable to maintain this advantage at the end of the match. even though bayern munich was able to dominate this match quite well, it was a shame that many opportunities failed to be completed perfectly.

After several matches without winning, Schalke finally managed to win against Hertha with quite a lot of goals. With this victory, they managed to get additional points that made them enter the top 16. Schalke still makes this an important lesson to try to get into the top 10 big games next season because for this season, it is not too difficult to catch up to the top 10 positions.
The 3 teams that are in the relegation zone have a fairly close point difference. I'm not sure Schalke can maintain consistency in the upcoming matches. Hertha Berlin is the bottom caretaker of the standings this week. Vfb will be against dortmund which most likely on paper dortmund will be able to win this match.

Bochum, which was previously in the relegation zone, was able to get out of the relegation zone, even in my opinion, Bochum has a good chance to stay away from the relegation zone in the upcoming matches.
apart from that it will be interesting to follow as the lower ranked teams have stronger matches in the upcoming matches which will make them face quite big hurdles to get out of the relegation zone.

There is a really important game regarding relegation on this week. Two days later Valencia are going to host Sevilla in this game.

Valencia are the side favoured for the win in this game. However their odd is increasing while Sevilla's decreasing at the same time. In fact it is really hard to believe in any side for a win here. None of these teams has a really promising performance. Sevilla barely saved a draw against Manchester United in the Europa League for example. They had a very lucky day. Maybe they used up all their luck there and they won't be able to win this game. Their last game ended in a draw by 1-1 also.

I think both teams to score is safer for betting because both of them should do their best for being more advantageous in the league table.
these two teams are equally unstable this season because these two teams have sat in the relegation zone, but for sevilla they have been able to get out of the relegation zone and for valencia they will try hard to get out of the relegation zone.  now in this match the two teams are equally strong and will relatively be a match that is difficult to predict.

if valencia is able to show their best game and end a bad sequence then they will be able to get out of the relegation zone this week. valencia and valladolid they are quite close in points so it will be quite a battle for those near the relegation zone.

indeed winning with a narrow score has not provided comfort for ac milan but they have better capital to look at the second leg. I hope AC Milan can repeat the big win at home to Napoli.

But this goal could still give them a big advantage as they will start the next match without pressure, while Napoli will be required to score fast in order to get everything to the zero point. Despite the performance of Napoli in the Serie A this season, Milan has great history in the Champions League with 7 titles. On the other hand, Napoli has no history in this competition, but that doesn't deny that they are trying to achieve something this season. However, these two defeats against Milan in both Serie A and the Champions League could affect them psychologically in the next match.
For Napoli they will try hard to score early because this will affect their spirit to dominate the game. Ac milan will be lucky enough if they are able to maintain the advantage they have and for sure they will play carefully in the second leg later.  automatically Napoli will play more aggressively to put pressure on ac milan to break the opponent's mentality if they are able to score early.

In terms of experience, Ac Milan is the perfect team in the Champions League. They can repeat this if they can beat Napoli in the second leg later. Osimhen will play in the second leg that is a big strength for Napoli to get a win in the second leg.

I sense that very soon the pump will start to shame all those folks who feel btc is failed project. We are expecting the bullish price to pump 60k straight up even against all odds. Those who are well position for the market can see the evidence this night is already 30k plus. I can only believe that bitcoin will do better than ever, though not withstanding we should invest wisely while waiting the pump.

If my plans works out am ready to buy more and store! But what's your take on the pump? Do you see it coming or am just doing illusion?
Let's hear from you.
this is reality and there is no illusion we will both see this pump slowly before we see the amazing thing that is coming in the future. i think we should hold on for $30k in this month because if this happens market sentiment will be quite good in next months.

some arguments are indeed enough to strengthen us to see harder pumps going forward but it takes time and patience because the market cycle remains in two phases namely decline and increase and there is a big thing that we are waiting for is the news of mass adoption in this part of the world which will make btc will be pumped pretty hard.
1230  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: April 14, 2023, 11:26:08 PM
all seems to be going as we hope I mean early Q2 btc passed the $30k mark. JJG what do you say to those weak hands who dumped BTC at price $16k.

I say something close to the same thing to people no matter what the BTC price, which is to get the fuck started, especially if you do not have any at all.

Of course, we can recognize and appreciate that the vast majority of people are in the no coiner category, but we might still want to have some sympathies on those people, especially because it takes some people time to figure out that bitcoin should be part of their investment portfolio.. even if they are still in early stages of building an investment portfolio...

So, yeah we might consider a lot of people to be precoiners rather than no coiners, yet at the same time, there are some people who seem to be in the category that you are suggesting who are trying to time the market in such a way that they do not ongoingly accumulate, just in case the BTC price does not go down more.

Sure, none of us really know if the bottom is yet "in" even though our having had touched nearly 2x our $15,479 bottom does bring a decent amount of confidence that the bottom might be in.. and it is surely possible that btc/satoshis will not be able to be at those kinds of prices anymore, and surely it is possible that even sub $20k will not be reached ever again, or sub $25k will not be reached ever again, or even sub $29k will not be reached again.  We just cannot really know with any level of confidence, especially short-term BTC price movements.

We have been through some tough times in the last year or so, and surely there are ongoing attacks on bitcoin and even various fairly severe seeming problems with various macro-systems - including the stability of the USD.. and surely some of our future possible crises in the USD could end up having sever short-term downward pressures on BTC prices. and those are really difficult to know or foresee.. and surely many of us (including myself) find those to be buying opportunities rather than selling opportunities, even though surely those are scary times, and I am not going to lie about how uncomfortable it can be to be going through severe downward price moves, even when there had been thoughts that the "bottom may well be in".

are they going to wait to get back in at the $16k figure which I think is going to be pretty boring waiting for that. they are people who have no soul buying at low prices and holding back until a new ath is reached.

Of course there are people out there who get too greedy for their own good.. .. and sometimes they can still profit from their efforts, yet historically, we have seen a lot of those kinds of guys waiting around too much for lower prices, not acting and even selling too much too soon.. or like you said the other extreme is buying when the price goes up rather than buying when the price goes down or just buying regularly no matter what is the price.

So there are a lot of weird perspectives, and the main thing seems to be that we try to create systems for ourselves that we have decent confidence are solid, and we cannot necessarily expect that others are going to follow our methods or that they will be able to figure out some kind of a meaningful long term BTC accumulation strategy for themselves.. even if it might vary from our own..

I don't expect to get into the heads of anyone else, and I do try to be helpful to their developing of their own systems, and people are going to tend to go their own way, and it likely will take a while, still, for bitcoin to really catch on.. and we still really have decently low levels of BTC adoption and people remain sceptical and concerned and even afraid of bitcoin.. even believing some of the bullshit that their governments, banks and financial advisors tend to not want them to buy bitcoin.

DCA is good enough and powerful enough for all people and this will not disturb your mentality when the price goes up or down, you will always buy.
For sure DCA is good.. and it can be supplemented along the way.. but surely, I am in agreement that it likely is a good thing to follow - and then the longer that any of us are buying BTC in a DCA kind of way, then we will become more and more inspired to follow what bitcoin is doing and therefore learn more about bitcoin and about ourselves in order that with the passage of time, we will be able to build more and more strategies that first involve our building of our investment portfolio through the accumulation of BTC and then later perhaps graduate into maintenance stages or just various ways of ongoingly tailoring how we accumulate BTC.
JJG you explained in detail and I completely agree with what you have described. the main point maybe we are here in the same boat, namely buying and holding that is what we will do.  now on the second point I know you are true btc holders, what I admire is that you continue to provide useful advice for us beginners to own btc in our portfolio and that is a pretty good lesson for us to follow. maybe the last one is the DCA strategy which has been so popular and i heard the first time maybe from your words and it was quite amazing for me.

indeed out there I don't care for those who say negative things about btc because I know they don't know enough about the performance of bitcoin to allow them to say that. they look odd at the principle they maintain which is to fully trust the decisions of the bank.

Valencia actually conceded much less goals than Sevilla in the league so far but Sevilla are still five points ahead of them. Even the amount of goals they scored is nearly the same for both teams. They are both under the threat of relegation of course as you indicated already. I wouldn't like to see any of these teams relegating from the La Liga of course.

Especially Sevilla's relegation would be a big shock for so many people. I still don't want to give it much possibility but still there is this probability. Sevilla had better make a little improvement in their game to reach safety at least.
Nothing is impossible or surprising for everyone because from the start of the season, Sevilla did not present themselves as the strongest team in Laliga. I lost faith in them every game to bet on. they really let me down in every game they play.

But I still want to see them in Laliga next season. Sevilla must be able to make changes quickly because this season leaves 10 matches left. sevilla upcoming match will face valencia I will not bet on this match. it is difficult to predict the unstable team for this match.
1232  Economy / Economics / Re: MicroStrategy Buys $250M in Bitcoin, Calling the Crypto ‘Superior to Cash’ on: April 12, 2023, 11:23:13 PM
Btc reached the average buy rate made by MicroStrategy even they have reached the current profit point. I didn't expect this to be a pretty quick reversal in their current situation, because at the end of last year MicroStrategy had a losing percentage or minus 50% of their average buyout figure, but today they are already seeing gains in their portfolio.

I think the market is in a pretty good situation this month looks Bitcoin (BTC) market capitalization has increased by USD 194 billion or around IDR 2,980 trillion in 2023.

On a year to date (ytd) basis, bitcoin market capitalization is 66 percent ahead of the top banking stocks on wall street, mainly as fears of a global banking crisis increase. The six largest US banks, JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), Wells Fargo (WFC), Morgan Stanley (MS), and Goldman Sachs (GS), have lost nearly USD 100 billion or around IDR 1,536 trillion in market value since the beginning of the year.

What do you expect from team that have been doing well who sacked a coach that has been performing well in Champions game. Bayern Munich made a wrong decision by sacking their coach by this time.  I know Tuchel is a good coach but he came at the wrong time , Bayern Munich sacking their coach is just the cause of today's result,  normally it can't be possible for Manchester city to score Bayern Munich this number of goals. I'm not surprised about the victory of Manchester City.
your opinion is right, tuchel came to bayern munich at the wrong time because bayern munich under nagelsmann was quite impressive in the ucl by successfully beating psg and barcelona. but with the current situation, Bayern Munich had to swallow a defeat with a score of 3-0 in the first leg. I think Bayern Munich will find it difficult to turn things around in the second leg later.

for Manchester City they seem to have booked a place for the semifinals if you look at the score they recorded in this first leg. I am quite impressed with the game from Manchester City and hope they become UCL champions this season.

For the match against Manchester City I doubt very much Arsenal will win or draw, because if you look at the first half Arsenal lost 1-3 at home and for the next game it will take place at the Etihad Stadium. Arsenal will definitely be under much greater pressure when facing Manchester City and for now it is very difficult to beat Manchester City, they will be looking to break Arsenal's dominance at the top of the table and the points difference is also very close at the moment.

Chelsea could have put pressure on Arsenal for full points, even if at the moment Chelsea are not in great form in the league, but a big game like this will be much more different and I think the game will end in a draw. Chelsea also need points to improve their position in the standings, so they certainly won't waste their chance even if they have to end in a draw.
I believe it was a tough match for Arsenal and it is possible that if Arsenal manage to win in that match I am sure the EPL trophy will be theirs. but manchester city is so strong this season and its hard to give up the epl trophy for arsenal. The difference in points will be close if Manchester City can win the match against Leicester City this week.

Manchester City have a pretty busy schedule this week as they have to focus on UCL and EPL. but manchester city managed to do just that by winning a big win against bayern munich.

For now it's actually quite funny when talking about clubs other than Napoli to be top of the table because that's something that will never happen this season.
But with the current conditions actually for Milan not to have a chance there but to focus on securing its position in the top 4. Forget the Serie A trophy because it is no longer available.
yes that is clear. Napoli have become the leading team winning trophies this season and there is no miracle for other teams to bother them, even though Lazio have been quite impressive lately, but they will not be a team that will disturb Napoli ranking on the standings.

the team under napoli they are only targeting to qualify for the champions league next season, now the possibility of a revenge event might be seen at the meeting between ac milan vs napoli in the champions league maybe that is ac milan hope to make napoli fall in the champions league.

Liverpool's appearance did look impressive when they faced Arsenal, where the match was also very exciting, but what was very unfortunate was the opportunity that Mohamed Salah failed to take advantage of in scoring a penalty. Which should have led Liverpool to win at home if Mohamed Salah was able to score a goal in the penalty, but it's a shame because it failed and Liverpool had to be content with a draw at home this time
I don't think so, Liverpool were able to play well in this match and they were even able to score many chances in this match but they couldn't take advantage of every good opportunity to turn it into a goal. Indeed, Mohamed Salah's failure to execute a penalty kick made them waste a golden opportunity in this match to win. but the game situation became more interesting after the second half because Arsenal did not take advantage to play carefully.

for arsenal a draw in this match might be quite difficult for them to accept after they were able to score goals faster but liverpool was able to equalize the advantage in the second half and the final result 2-2 was the end of this match.
1238  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 10, 2023, 06:41:24 PM
Almeria played really well, in the second half their attacks were even more effective, Almeria's 1 goal was made by Melero through an assist from Costa while the second goal was made by Babic through an assist from Robertone. With this narrow victory, Almeria could breathe a little because it managed to escape the relegation zone, while Valencia had to be content with being in 18th position.
This victory was quite meaningful for Almeria because an additional 3 points got them out of the relegation zone. but in my opinion the ranking of Espanyol, Valencia, Valladolid, Almeria, Getafe and Cadiz, the points of these teams are close enough to each other that in the coming week, I think they will switch places again if between these teams are not able to maintain quality performance.

for Almeria they have shown quite a good comeback after picking up a win against valencia. However, in the upcoming match Almeria will again face the strong team Atletico Madrid which will probably be quite a tough match for them next week.

Arsenal was so unlucky on that game last night, they did their best as a team in trying to win the game but unfortunately for them that Liverpool scored that second goal that changed the whole game, Which has now made the league become more open between them and Manchester City. However, this does not mean dream coming to an end for Arsnal, I encourage they should not give up as there are still hope with the remaining games left, though they're now toping the league with just 3 points.
I think the point difference for now is still 6 points and there is no certainty that Manchester City will win full points in the upcoming match even though they are superior on paper.
arsenal can still keep the distance to stay on top of the standings if they are really ambitious to win the title this season.
Arsenal next opponents are also quite tough in the upcoming matches such as Manchester city, Newcastle United and Chelsea so they have to make the most of their consistency in the title hunt this season.

For Manchester City, Arsenal draw gives them the opportunity to reduce the lag in the upcoming match.

I think any player will think about transferring to Arabian and Asian teams whenever they are getting old and they won't have the same performance, just like Ronaldo because they won't play on any top European team, but Benzema is still far from this situation. he extended his offer with Real Madrid and he has a good performance there especially a few days ago in El Clasico.
Even though Benzema has often been injured, the quality of Benzema this season with Real Madrid has been very impressive because he has been able to score 21 goals in various competitions and even for La Liga he is in second place as the top scorer at the moment. so his decision to stay in real madrid was a pretty good choice for him especially since he had retired from defending the french national team which made him focus 100% only on real madrid.

The saudi arabia team is eyeing several star players in the next summer transfer window even linoel messi is also the target of the saudi arabia team. healthy finances make them look for well-known players to improve the quality of the saudi arabia league to become famous.
