That is the biggest difference. If you are reaching to a level where it would be beneficial for the fiat world, as much as the crypto world then I would totally understand the difference. But, if we are talking about something that is beneficial for only crypto world then it can't be too successful in the long run. So, in order for CBDC to succeed, we need to get a lot more fiat investors to get into them as well and make it a hyped and wanted thing.

Obviously, we will have a lot of people who are going to be great about this but that doesn't mean that the amount of people who are interested based on the population but it is based on the interest shown. 1 person showing 100 amount of hype is better than 10 people showing 50 total.

That controversy came from mainly the initial usage of crypto. Back in the day we had silk road and crypto was used there, people bought and sold drugs there and there was a stigma around it. This caused many people to learn that about bitcoin for the first time, and then it was a bit harder to crack that and start from the zero and teach them how bitcoin is not a drug money, it is an investment and a currency.

Nowadays, it is easier but politicians are famously slow when they do not want to do something or lobbying doesn't really impact them enough. I am not saying that governments won't make it legal and free, most did, but it will take some time for it to be general rule of thumb.

"Free" anything could turn out to be a scam. I would suggest highly not to go with free anything because if someone is claiming to be free, more often than not they are not free at all. Mining doge could be profitable, you need to check that on mining calculators and if you have a GPU or a rig, then you need to put that in and calculate which coin you should mine. There are a million websites like that which would tell you.

But, I got out of that game long time ago, using that money to buy tokens and staking them is a lot simpler than mining. Sometimes it is even more profitable, but usually it is not. The difference is that there is no risk involved, mining could be a big loss if you face a ton of problems, whereas staking is just staking.

Arsenal has a bit of chance, they are missing on one game right now. Which means that if Spurs wins, that would make them 54 points as well but Arsenal has a missing game, with which they could get a tie or a win and still be above Spurs. If Arsenal wins, the difference will be big enough that I would see Spurs fighting for 5th position against United instead of fighting for 4th spot with Arsenal. Obviously we still have a ton of time to go, maybe some other things could happen meanwhile and it will not even matter as much as we think it should. I am not saying that it will not matter at all, but the difference could be bigger or small by then.

Putting ATM and City in the same category as good teams would be a bad idea. I would say City is 2x as good as ATM could ever hope to become. I mean even on their greatest day, ATM is not as good as City. This doesn't mean that they can't beat them, just this year we have seen Sheriff, a team nobody knew about, end up beating Real who managed to beat PSG to get here.

So, you can see that sometimes underdogs could win and I get that and ATM could have something like that, they are certainly closer. However, City is the team that has been dominating the premier league for many years now, and managed to also reach finals last year as well. Quite big achievement.

I believe that Bayern never really did any insanely high priced purchases so far and just got good players that showed themselves in Bundesliga and just kept on going that way and they got a great success out of it. Winning 6 cups in a single season in 2020 was the high point of this. Because of this, they are not looking at players who are 100+ million and they do not aim to get some of the worlds superstars.

Definitely Lewa could be a great one right now, deserved the award really, but they made him into that as well, they are not getting ready made players, they are improving the ones they get. Haaland could be 150+ million and they probably won't even look at him, if they did, they could have afford him and get him and could be so great for them.

This is not really a bad approach to crypto, I know it may not happen anytime soon but 500k+ and even 1 million is not impossible for bitcoin at all. I believe that it will happen, the only difference is that I believe it will happen 10 years from now and not right now. This is why I am buying bitcoin at all prices without a care.

I bought bitcoin when it was under 10k, bought when it was over 60k, I will keep on buying bitcoin at all prices because I agree with you that it will be 500k+. That means we are going to see more than 10x increase in the next 10 years, and that would result with me being able to live a much better life thanks to that increase.

Price has reached 43k levels and that is a good look for bitcoin for sure. We haven't broken over this price for the longest time and I hope that we can do it this time around but I am not sure if it will happen or not, maybe we will drop from these levels and be a lot worse, I do not know.

In the end, we should be proud that we held on this long, there were plenty of reasons to fall but in the end we didn't really do that and we recovered and reached to a higher level. I agree though, we should be a lot more careful and that is a much better way, it allows you to learn how we could get a better results when something we did not expected happens.

Everyone assumed Inter would be the ones to win this year, but it turns out they did not play as well as people hoped they would and in the end they are now fighting for that third spot. Juventus has been great and they are recovering, which is something you would expect from a 10+ time wins in a row type of team.

I get that they made some bad transfers and spent their money on the wrong ways so it is a bit worse for them right now compared to their dominating period. But they are still Juventus and even during their worst year, they are recovering (just like Barcelona). Milan will probably get it this year, napoli at second, and there is even a chance of Juventus being third and Inter fourth (or inter 3 and juve 4).

Leverkusen has the chance to be at the third place because they are 3 points ahead and they are doing alright, if they can win against the others they could actually make it to third spot very easily and just stay there.

However, the fourth spot is basically done deal for Leipzig as well, Freiburg could be looking decent for many people but Red Bull is a fierce mindset and they will attack as much as possible to get all the remainder of the games. They will fight for even the third spot, don't know if they can take it but they are known for being a very harsh environment for players to be in because it is always "win first" mentality there.

Well, I understand what you are trying to say. When it is true that the government are only interested in Bitcoin because of what has started happening in their country. Assuming that there was no war in their country by now it is possible that they wouldn’t have opened their arms to embrace cryptocurrency in their country, and it would have been nothing but a dream.

Since, they have ended up seeing themselves in a really tight position, they have no other option than to do whatever is necessary or possible for them to keep things moving, which adopting cryptocurrency is one of the decisions that they believe they can make at this point. Anyways let's hope that after everything that they continue to allow cryptocurrency as a legal asset in their country.

I believe that Inter is the one that is giving away all these points, and not other teams winning. Inter used to be fighting for a title, now they are fighting to keep the third stop and by this time next week we may even see them be fourth in the league as well. I do not know what caused to be this bad, am I missing something? Are they missing someone crucial?

I mean they were the teams to beat just a few weeks ago, like maybe a month ago at most and then suddenly they had 1 win in 5 games, 1 loss and three ties. That's 9 points lost in 15 points and that's a very terrible situation for them. I guess they may eventually recover but it will probably be too late.

Anyone who have been watching news for the past 10 years or so while checking social media knows about this. We have been fed lies for decades and decades but we did not know about it. Today we know about it because we can see the real news online in social media. People share the real footage, real situations all on social media and this is why the news you see on TV stations are obviously lie to us now.

The USA has lied to its citizens and the world for decades, literally near 100 years by now, and Russia has done the same thing at least as long, Europe is famously known about lies on other nations. It is normal for us who live in none of these places because they have lied about us at least once, all of them. Now they are doing it to each other.

I get it, people really think that West Ham could recover and get back to being good and it is not a bad expectation. This team was like 4th or 5th for so long that it was something everyone expected for the longest time. But, let's be honest, they are not the same team and they keep losing left and right. Not that they do not win some games, of course they win some games but they also lose a lot and when you want to stay on top you need to win a lot more frequently then you lose, not around the same amount.

Spurs is not like that, they have been on a good roll and I feel like it was expected of them to win this game as well, just not this easily maybe.

Unfortunately, it used to be called a scam a lot more. I have been here long enough and during 2015-2016 it was called a scam a lot, and before 2015 it was called "drug money" and that was a sad period. Glad we are over that period now and people see it more of a legit investment these days.

I am sure that just like how we have found a lot more people who think of it as a legit investment compared to 5+ years ago, we can do that again and again each 5 years and keep growing our numbers. It will not be easy or quick, but it could happen. Asking people if they accept bitcoin is definitely a great start, would definitely help getting the name out and making shop owners think they could make a good profit from it.

I doubt that Barcelona would have a "high" chance in any case. This is Real Madrid we are talking about and there is really nothing that is too obvious for that much. Yeah, we are talking about something a bit more challenging for both teams, I wouldn't say there would ever be chance for Real Madrid would ever have a high chance neither. Whenever we are talking about el classico, we are talking about something that is a bit of a problem for both teams. I believe that it will be a hardcore battle, and whoever wins, it will not be easy for them. I believe that whoever wins, it will not really change too much of the rest of the season.

Obviously Leipzig will want to try to do as best as they could. For a team that was that great last year, they will want to get to at least third place of course. Obviously there is a good chance that they could end up losing some points in the coming weeks but they will want to do their best to win this one for sure.

Doesn't mean that they will, but they will have a bit of a hard time in the future so whatever easier game they face, they need to get that three points to be at the top. Becoming third would mean both a lot of money (not that they need it with red bull money) but at the same time would mean getting better players for them as well.

There have been plenty of situations where a new and emerging coin or even tokens ended up named "eth killer" but we have all seen them die. Most recently, BCH was the "new bitcoin" according to so many people, it is nowhere to be found right now. Remind you, this was a coin that worked itself all the way to third spot and worked its way to beat ETH at one point.

Now, it is not even in top 10 anymore, maybe out of top 20 already I do not know. Which is why I believe that people should never be hyped about emerging coins right now. ADA, SOL, DOT, MATIC, AVAX all are "good" coins, but to be an ETH killer is not easy as being good, you are going to be sustainable as well.

If it was just one year contract then I would totally see this happening. But they made a 2 years contract with him, first year is now getting close to being over, and then second season will have to be played. After that maybe they will have some sort of deal where he leaves and PSG would be fine with that, even if nothing else they made a ton of jersey sales and earned enough money to be fine with him leaving.

At the end of the day, Barcelona will want Messi to retire there, not going to be easy of course but even if he is 35-36 years old, they will want him to play some games on his last seasons before he retires. So, this may not happen during this summer, but I am sure they will want to make this happen eventually.

The difference is that Bayern already had 2 games that ended with draws. I mean they already spent their bad period and that is understandable, however I do not know what they can do to get even worse from here on out. On the other hand Dortmund took advantage of that, and won those games, but they would need to keep on winning until they are ahead and only lose points when Bayern does after that.

I am not saying that it is impossible but when Bayern already made mistakes and want to recover, and Dortmund haven't in a while, that becomes a bit more complicated. I would expect Dortmund to lose more points than Bayern for the next 2-3 weeks.
