Not a lot of people watched Ziyech apparently, he had one of the most terrible seasons of his career, he was better even when he was like 16-17 as a young kid, this was the worst season. This made other teams doubt is talents, even Saudi league didn't trust him, you think 12-13 is a lot?

For Saudi league that's nothing, they pay that to lower league players, I remember them getting some striker from a non-top20 league team and they still paid him 11 million. So this is literally the worst place for any player, a point where even Saudi league doesn't think you worth their money. I would say it would be understandable to accept if it was 30 or more, that's a lot, but this just means nobody in the world willing to take a risk on him at all.
1242  Economy / Speculation / Re: Microstrategy buys again! on: June 29, 2023, 06:00:40 PM
Honestly they are not "that" much in profit just yet, it is merely a bit higher than what they bought on average. However, if the price starts to go high, like really high as we expect it to go, something like 200k, that would mean they would have 30 billion instead of 4.5 billion. I think that would be a big deal and would really cause a lot of trouble for everyone involved as well.

Not only they will have hard time selling, because the amount is so big that they may not be able to find a buyer right away and can't sell in a single place neither. But also it would be bad for us since it would drop the price a lot if they end up selling as well. Another trouble is the accounting, them investing that much and then selling that much would be a big deal as well.
1243  Economy / Economics / Re: 85% of AI start-ups will fail within 3 years. on: June 29, 2023, 05:49:50 PM
Why do people even start these? I mean it doesn't make sense to me at all because we are talking about something getting saturated so much that everyone is doing it. Obviously a lot of people will fail, because at the end of the day way too many people are doing it, so how could all of them succeed?

This is a high end technological idea and people who are good at what they are doing should be doing it, people who "think" they can do it will end up failing. I personally hope that the best thing about this would be making a profit based on peoples talents and we do not have enough talented people in the AI world as the number of companies suggests, so that means it is going to be a big failure when the time comes, it is too obvious.
1244  Economy / Economics / Re: Gary Gensler should be sacked----Warren Davidson on: June 29, 2023, 05:20:55 PM
It's quite good to see the politicians on our side for the first time ever probably. Normally we do not see them around us all that much and this time around we have a common enemy and that's a good thing. I don't care what the main reason is for them to fire him, the fact that we do not want him and he is hurting binance along with congress and even some senators from what I can see do not want him as well is enough.

We may have different reasons, but the result is the same; Gary Gensler being fired. As long as that happens I think it is going to be fine and we are all going to be fine about it as well. Too many people are acting as if there is nothing wrong with this situation but the reality is that we are going to end up with a much better situation for sure.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who fall victim to these things and that's a terrible tragedy but it just happens, there is nothing we can stop this from happening. They will find a way to convince you that they are "beautiful young woman" who likes to help you, and one way or another they will get some money from you, that's a sad thing but it's the reality, there is nothing wrong with being a male and desiring after a woman, but this is obviously for finance and you should not be doing that at all.

I highly suggest people are more careful with what they are doing so that they would be smarter with their money. I know that it will be hard to be alone for a long time, I know you feel like you need some connection, but a fake one is a lot worse.
1246  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banks offering investing in Bitcoin on: June 27, 2023, 06:35:15 PM
Depends on the bank of course, but this is what I suggested many many years ago. We need some sort of governmental regulation where Banks could be like crypto exchanges. Lets assume you live in USA right? You want to buy a euro, or yuan, or ruble (well maybe not those because of sanctions and all) or Japanese yen etc etc, basically you can get the currency of other nations and have it in your account, it is allowed. It is allowed in my nation too, I can get euro, dollars or anything else I want.

This is why I honestly believe that the best thing to do in this case is to make sure Banks offer the same thing as well. That way banks basically allows you to buy and sell bitcoin, doesn't have to be all coins, just bitcoin itself is enough. Only problem is, would they actually have enough bitcoin on their books as they say they do.
1247  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: June 27, 2023, 06:26:00 PM
It is not always about the money neither. Modric will make about 20 million euro per year with his new contract and he was offered 200 million a year and yet he rejected it, and that's at 38 years old as well when he should be taking the last big payment of his life. On the other hand Benzema was offered the same and yet he declined and accepted the huge amount of money that he was offered as well.

It means that some players do prefer to go to Saudi Arabian league for the money and some players don't, it depends from person to person. This means that Brozovic could be either, if he wants to take the money then he should obviously go to Al-Nassr, if he wants to play in Europe a bit longer than he should be accepting the Barcelona offer instead.
1248  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Whats going on with Bitcoin Cash BCH? on: June 27, 2023, 06:18:30 PM
Not entirely sure what made it move like this, but it is obvious that this is a huge increase. I mean thinking that this was under 100 dollars just recently and suddenly it is over 200 dollars is a huge increase. Even though we are at a stage where bitcoin and all others increased, none that went up this much as far as I know so this one seems like a big one. It is not going to be a simple thing to figure out the reason but I would stay away from it as of right now.

Because if you bought it before the increase then you could have profited from it, since you didn't buy it beforehand, that means it might be too late right now and you may end up with a huge loss as well. I would highly suggest not to do that, just forget about it.
1249  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin high transaction fees is a disadvantage to small business owners on: June 27, 2023, 04:29:30 PM
This has been talked about a lot and a lot of people worry about it but the reality is that small business owners do not really depend on bitcoin all that much. They are doing something that is a bit more personally maybe big enough for them but financially small as the name suggests.

This is why I believe that they can still use paypal or any other method, or just use an altcoin that has low transaction fee, or just not use crypto at all and just use fiat. I am not saying that they shouldn't, but transaction fee shouldn't be a worry, if it is a worry then I believe that it is not really a big deal for anyone, it is just not going to end up being all that important. I think it is quite important to just ignore it and continue if you could do that.
1250  Economy / Economics / Re: How billionaires are really affecting the economy. on: June 27, 2023, 03:29:00 PM
The problem with rich people becoming richer and poor people becoming poorer is real, but the solutions we have come up with do not provide any sort of real tangible result so far. The problem is, if you end up taxing the rich too much, and try to help the poor with that money, which is the logical thing to do, then there is a chance that those rich people would just take their business elsewhere. Too many companies have headquarters in Singapore and Ireland, have you asked, "why".

Because they wanted to pay less taxes. So, what can you do? You can do all the revenue made within your own nation, and not tax the people who buy the thing, but tax the company that sells it, so the company doesn't sell something for 2k+tax, they sell it for 4k, no taxes, taxes then paid by the company. See if those huge companies can still sell that much, and people will get awareness about it too.
1251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 26, 2023, 06:15:19 PM
The fact that Modric decided to turn down an offer that size (assuming biggest ever means maybe like 200 million a year) was a stupid mistake. Think about it, Real already has a good young midfield right now, which means that Modric is less needed, and sure he is still good but he won't be getting that back again. So if he left, and played at SA league, Real would have still been fine, it is not like they need Modric to win otherwise they won't win situation. That is why if he accepted, both Real would have been fine, and he would have been rich.

I am not sure if he will get the same offer next season, there will probably some financial drop there. If it is a political reason, like cultural unfit situation, then I would understand, that's another thing than football reasons.
1252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 25, 2023, 05:15:49 PM
There is no way Klay would get traded, he is still a great defender even after the injury, I assumed that he would not be a great defender after the injury because usually the lateral movement gets limited after such injury but he is great and he can still shoot amazingly well. He played with 41% from three with 21 points which is definitely a good sign for him.

However, Draymond green is not "that" guy anymore, he is still good and all in a sense, but he is a 30% three point shooter, not terrible but not good enough, just 0.5 threes per game, 7 rebounds 7 assists 8 points type of guy. Yes, he is a floor general and knows their game, but he is not a max contract guy, that's way too much. Warriors do not print money, they are not the FED, they can't do that.
1253  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When is the right time to buy bitcoin before the halving? on: June 25, 2023, 04:39:53 PM
I think it was a good time to buy bitcoin before it reached 30k, people keep asking if it will go up even more and should they buy it but they ignore the fact that we already bought it at 25k because we knew this would happen. Why would anyone not purchase bitcoin all this time and then suddenly start asking if they should buy it now.

I wonder why you haven't beforehand, that would have been a good thing. I hope that it would be a good period eventually and we would do better, it is not going to be a bad thing to purchase now neither, but if it goes down, be ready to buy more. If you want to buy now but you will be inclined to sell when it goes down, then do not buy it, I would suggest do not get involved with crypto at all. Just buy when it's low, sell when it's high.
1254  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is next for Bitcoin? Seems like the only winners are early adopters unless on: June 24, 2023, 03:59:45 AM
I do not think that this is the case, not all the time at least. I think if you could invest into bitcoin or any other good project and keep consistently invest into it for a long time, that means you are going to not only have a lot of money that you yourself invested into, but also you are going to make a good profit as well.

Even if you invest just 100 dollars per month, for 20 years, you would invest 24k but with just 20% a year (which we all know bitcoin would do more) that would result with 320k total. Imagine having 310k dollars, that is a lot of money and it would benefit you a lot, you could literally buy a whole house that can make you enough to not work.

If you are 20 years old, and start investing only 100 bucks, by age 40, you will retire. It's that simple. With 250 bucks a month, at 40% which is realistic for overall bitcoin including the bull periods, you would have 60k invested in 20 years, and 13!!!! million dollars in the end. It's that simple.
1255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Who you betting on? on: June 23, 2023, 06:25:50 PM
Dana White is certain that he can make it work in the UFC itself, octagon. If that can actually be done ,it is going to be amazing to watch. But I bet 100% that this fight will not happen. They keep talking like this and then they are going to ask their PR firm to find a way to back out with least possible cowardice look, like they wanted to do it but some organization didn't allow them, if only they did then they were so willing to do it. In the end we know that it is not going to happen and we are going to end up with no fight.

However, if they actually do, then my money is on Mark Zuckerberg for sure, he looks a lot more lean and lean guys go down a lot harder, they get tired a lot later as well so that makes it easier for them to go to distance whereas Elon is a bit fatter as we know, and he may get tired and harder to keep going.
1256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: German Bundesliga Season 22/23 - Discussion & Prediction Thread on: June 23, 2023, 05:53:39 PM
Baumgartner is a beyond what people understand levels of talent people are sleeping on. With Leipzig I think he will be able to show a lot more of his talents, this kid is only 22 years old I believe and he has skillset of much older players, he plays with fire and he plays with wisdom.

I bet you that after they buy him, and make him play for a few seasons alone, he is going to shine so much that he has a potential to be bought by the huge clubs. He may end up with Real Madrid, city, PSG, Bayern type of club where he will worth 100 million one day. Maybe I am wrong, after all I am not a scout, but Leipzig got a big future star with that transfer and they did the right thing, definitely the move of the summer that will have the biggest impact.
1257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a Gambler and a Die-Hard Fan of a Club Would you Bet Against your Club on: June 23, 2023, 05:20:01 PM
Most people imagine football is the one that people talk about, but when we start to talk about other sports that makes more sense to play against your own team. Like for example I am a big Spurs fan in NBA, san Antiono spurs not Tottenham one. And we have won 5 rings, that's a huge deal, not a lot of people have 5 rings, we have Duncan who did for example. This is why I believe that we are at a level where it is an elite team and unmatched by many other teams, only a few won more than us ever.

However, we suck right now, hopefully with Wemby we will do better, but all year long I have wagered against my favorite team, because Spurs never really won anything and I feel like it wasn't that hard to go against us, I knew we would lose.
1258  Economy / Economics / Re: Let's imagine you were the president of your country, How would your Economic on: June 23, 2023, 03:55:00 PM
I think being the president of a nation would be a difficult task because of people around you, not the job itself. Like if you make me president today with the way I am today, I would make the nation a better place, and so would a lot of people here, that's the point, if we were, then we would be great. But, the presidents usually don't and we dislike them.

Because in order to be president, you need powerful people and politicians to pick you, you can2t just go on youtube and claim to be the candidate, well some crazy people do, and they end up getting a few thousand votes at most. So, if you want to be president from a good party that has a chance, you need to grease the hands of so many people that by the end you will be terrible president if you are elected.
1259  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin vs traditional markets year on year comparison on: June 22, 2023, 05:51:39 PM
Well, when you ask this at bitcointalk, I think people usually having bitcoin as their response makes sense, it is the logical reasoning. We are at bitcointalk because we prefer bitcoin over other investments and that means we are going to like it a lot more. I am not saying that traditional markets could never outperform us, of course it possibly could and that has happened before I am sure of it.

However, I think when you look at it on the long scope, like many months, or if you look at it on a simple approach, then you will realize that it is not going to end up with bitcoin being better. Whenever anyone asks me "would you prefer bitcoin or X" I will always prefer bitcoin, that's always the case for me and will always stay that way.
1260  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: HODL or not? BTC investors need to rethink their strategy as on: June 22, 2023, 04:06:15 PM
I think btc is safe, that is why it's considered better like that, not a lot of people consider the problem as a big deal, if we did then it would have been an issue for a long time. I do not get it, why do people want to risk it and get some small altcoin that has a "potential" that might crash, when bitcoin is great and you could invest and you know what to expect from it.

It will never be a problem on the long run and we should keep investing into it. I am not saying do not ever invest into alts, but I keep most of my money on bitcoin and only some of my money on alts, that way even if my alts go down, I will be able to make a profit with the bitcoin one and that should be a lot better, it will definitely benefit me a lot.
