That is why I always feel like ligue 1 is a horribly boring league. I get that last year was a shock and Lille winning it meant that it was actually a fun season to see something like that, underdog story, just like Leicester winning type of feeling.

However, when you look at this year, we are talking about something that is incredibly boring. There is nothing here that makes it entertaining anymore, it is fully decided by like week 10 and has been always the same. PSG sometimes wins games, and sometimes loses games but at the same time we all know they win enough to be champions already, like they could lose all the remainder of the games and I am sure they will still be champions 90%+ chance.

There is nothing wrong with listening to experts, or there is no denying that some analysis will be right as well. Those are true things and they will be true forever. The problem is that, indicators or charts, or basically any TA will give you what crypto should do, and not what it will do, everything could be pointing out to an amazing increase coming up a certain day, but then someone will sell 10k bitcoins publicly and bash bitcoin and suddenly we will crash.

This means that even though it should have gone up, it went down for some reason. This is why even if you listen to crypto experts, just make sure that you are taking lesser risk and be fine if they are wrong.

The stagnancy wasn't just in the NFT world though, it was in everywhere and that mainly caused the situation which I can totally understand. Imagine a situation where everyone would be making insane returns from the NFT world when the bitcoin price was stable, how would that look? That would be pretty unlikely wouldn't it? That is why I understand the situation and that is why I think that NFT prices staying put is not that weird, or even going down.

The bull period we had recently when the price moved from 38k levels to 48k levels was actually quite good for NFT as well, even though I dislike the way it is used, I get it and that is why I am sure that people hyped that as well.

Bitcoin is not asafe-haven against volatility. Bitcoin itself is volatile. But, for sure when you invest and hold for a long term you do benefit from the huge increase in the price. Still, even at that very high price it doesn’t stop being volatile. On a daily the price would keep on going up and down. It is usually a good investment when you go for a long term. That is why it is said to protect you from inflation.

Even though that it would continue being volatile, the profit you would make from it would still be huge enough in the future after you have held it for the long term. So, the volatility wouldn't be much of a problem to you by then.

Red Bull reliability issue is still going on and there is really a big problem about it for sure. I mean imagine a scenario where both Merecedes drivers are still higher up than Max right now, I get that Ferrari is higher because they are the best this year but it is 100% clear that Mercedes is worse this year and yet even with that in mind they are both higher because Max lost out on 2 races and got zero points.

The difference is 46 points right now, and even if Max ends up winning the next 4 races, if Leclerc is second in those games, then we will end up not getting Max to the top with that. This shows that finishing the race is more important than being first sometimes, Hamilton had like one podium total right? Or whatever he has done so far, not great, and yet even with that he is still higher only because he managed to finish those races.

Athletico could overcome this, I mean do we really believe that Sevilla will never lose any more games? I believe they will definitely lose at least one more game, they are up against Real Madrid next week and I am guessing that there is a very big chance that they will end up losing that game for sure, and after that game ATM could be getting back to above sevilla, they will be facing Espanyol and that is not a game that ATM would lose, although they looked like they shouldn't lose to mallorca neither but that ended up happening so you never know what will happen.

I am guessing that they won't make it a habit to lose to worse teams and that is why I believe next week is the time when ATM will go above Sevilla.

I would have to say that waiting period would have to be something that is unknown for the time being and that scares people a bit. At the end of the day, we could be at the doors of 50k tomorrow, or we could maybe not reach that level for another 5 months, who knows what will happen? That uncertainty is the reason why there is nothing guaranteed about the current situation, if you do not know what to do then how could you invest accordingly?

You need to know at the very least the price movement or have a prediction about it but if we have none of that then we wouldn't really have any type of situation where we can invest, nor be able to sell if we have any neither.

That's the difference between stake and many of the other crypto casinos. Stake didn't want to stay put with just the crypto gamblers on bitcointalk or twitter, they wanted to have an "outreach" program to other people in the gambling world, and definitely struck gold with drake but even before that it was a real thing. This allowed them to get all the rich gamblers of the world to come here and they are basically offering unreal amount of rewards for people who gamble here, if you spend all that money here, there is a good chance that the return will be amazing even if you do not win too much.

This is the reason why we are seeing big bag winners, I mean there were some before all of this as well, but as much as other casinos as well, after they became more than just crypto marketing, they got more people and now have a lot more people gambling big amounts.

There is always pros and cons to everything. Centralized exchanges has been helpful indeed and I can say that for sure because I’m also one of those that started in the cryptocurrency market by making use of these exchanges. They are really helpful for the fact that they have a simple interface and are far much easier to use than the decentralized or non-custodial wallets and exchanges. At the same time, we all know that these exchanges are not working the way that bitcoin is meant to be, which is decentralization.

The community is meant to be decentralized and not controlled by anything or anyone.FYI Even if there was no centralized exchanges people would have still been able to learn how to make use of the non-custodial wallets and decentralized exchanges.

The government is already doing that . they have their own wallet and their own digital currency, although this does not apply to every country in the world. And of course like you have said, regular people will always accept whatever the government give to them as long as it is easy for them to operate. There are lots of people who do not care about all these privacy stuff that most of us do care about.

As long as what they are being given is convenient enough for them , then they would go for it and wouldn’t mind anything about privacy or not. One of the countries that has their wallet and CBDC is China, the digital Yuan.

But, it is hard to come by as well. I mean yes they are hard to beat if they are fully healthy and nobody has any problems, but at the same time they do not have healthy players at all times. Even when they play, that is usually either with a small injury, or with someone missing, or someone eventually getting injured.

The amount of games where EVERYONE is 100% healthy is a bit rare thing for them, definitely for the past few years. This is why I believe that we should not be expecting a lot from them. I am expecting them to actually do well enough to like maybe finals of the western conference but I am expecting suns to beat everyone anyway, they really deserve to be champions this year.

Yeah, a project doesn't go from out of top 500 into top 10, everyone knows that if you invest into very early on, then you could invest into something that is unranked on the very early stage, like pre-sale period and then you end up making a good return for sure. This is how most people turn their tiny amounts into big amounts and thats how they get rich.

However this is probably second biggest risk in the crypto world aside from the leverage trading. You could invest into something that is very risky and end up not being properly making a good return and could end up losing a ton of money from it as well. Doesn't mean you have to, but there is a big chance you might.

4-2 could have been all we asked for in a game like this. Granada did their best and it was definitely closer than what it looks like. I know many people will see 4 goals and think that it was a clear win by sevilla, but I have to say granada played a great game as well and it was definitely not something that was so obvious while watching, it looked like it could have gone either way.

In the end Sevilla is keeping up the chase right now, them and Barcelona are fighting hard time to see who will be the second, with Barcelona having europa games in two sides of this game, I am not sure if it will be a simple game where they can beat or if they will use subs to rest their stars.

I did not know this, was it like a more profitable place with good economy back then? Or is it doing better right now? Our nation had the same thing with another nation, but a nation that was too powerful and authoritarian, which meant that in return of being economically rich, we also had to follow another nations rule and laws and they provided a lot of rules that we should follow.

For the past 20 years or so we haven't done that and became a bit more independent which resulted with us getting poorer and poorer in exchange of being free from their grasp, they hate us now for not following them, but we hated being their puppet even more so it turned out alright.

Combining good energy sources, which I am sure it must make it cheaper than the nation that really and truly need it and missing it, and the cold weather I always wondered how awesome it must be to mine there?

I have no clue, Georgia is great though I know that and that is as close as it gets. All in all it should be something that people should look out for, it is really not that much of a big deal to allow people to mine bitcoin, because even in other nations people could go with renewable energy and buy solar panels and make it free basically with a higher starting capital, which is not really that expensive compared to moving to Russia and be under Putin's rule.

The rich will always have a way to survive. A rich person that is doing business and things happens to become costly, they would always have money to invest in their business and within a short time they will cover up all they have lost. But that is hardly the same for someone who is in the mid class or the lower class.

It will always be difficult for them and they might not have enough money to boost their business and keep it moving when the conditions are bad. It’s all going to be so much struggle for them to survive.

I do not think that it is impossible. I mean doesn't mean it is possible neither but definitely not impossible. Something like a few losing games or ties, and Betis gets points there and we will be facing a closer situation.

I do believe 100% that Barcelona will pass them, ATM looks like they might as well, no guarantee but it does look like that for sure, and then Betis is next up and that depends on the results both teams get but there are enough games to actually do that, would be hard to achieve it but wouldn't be impossible at all. That is why I believe that even though it is unlikely, it is also not impossible to piece together a scenario that would work out.

The reason why it moved that high was the fact that not only the market grew exponentially since then (bitcoin was under 10k back in those days as well) but also ETH is used by many many projects at the same time because of its technology as well. Blockchain of ETH is one of the biggest reasons why people still buy it, this makes sure that people do not buy ethereum just to invest, which they still do, but also buy it so that they could use it to pay for stuff.

All through the summer for example, people used ETH to pay for their Axie world as well, everyone played games, earned money and spent ETH which required them to buy ETH first to spend it later. So there are multiple reasons for it.

The difference is that, for "some" reason and I do not really know what that it is, it went up and got some interest. Which made people question, why exactly is that? Like what happened that made ZIL go up this much during the last period? Was it a fluke with some whale getting in and so forth? Or was it a brand new thing that they did, some great news, that made it go up? What is it that caused the spike?

If it is not a big deal then I would understand, but at the same time there is really nothing that could be "not questioned" in the crypto world so people are just wondering. I do not have the answer, but I do wonder about what happened there and caused it like go 200% up for a while.

It is basically leveraging your own gambling. Meaning, you either win even bigger, or you lose even more possible times. So, you could have your bet, and your opponents bet be worth less than what you wagered total, which was 6 bucks in your case, and in return you got 2 bucks, which is less than what you wagered and still look like you "won".

Meaning, you and your opponents bets total needs to be higher than the wagered amount AND you need to wager more than your opponent for this to make sense. In the end, it's less chance to win something, but a bigger chance to win something bigger, and that is the type of thing that people like to do, and have fun.
