After Messi and Neymar left the team, the spotlight is on Mbappe... This season is the last year of his contract, so he might have some problems with the team. However, if he doesn't have problems with the team this season, he can have a year where he can maximize his stats. Last season the team had three god modes and their destiny plans sometimes clashed. This season there is only one god mode and he will be the sole decision maker and he will project the order he wants on the field...
If you saw the game against their tittle condenters who disturbed them to the very last days of the league lens you will notice there is more of team work and the midfied having ball supplies to the attackers. Vintiha was incredible, he is a player that has a great touch of the ball and wonderful technique. His movements brought up the first goal. There was also some understanding movements between Dembele and Mbappe bit Mbappe was unable to locate the goal, yet he was still able to score row goals. Second goal was a deflected shot but luckily he got his name on the scores. Former Barcelona coach will be happy to win his first game in the league after double draws. PSG got the first win of the season. They almost also kept a clean sheet. But at the absolute end of the match they ended up conceding. But I think that’s alright, at least they were able to win their first match in this competition. The performance was good from them. And certainly far better compared to what they had shown in the first two matches. They will have to continue consistently performing like this. Luis Enrique does have a big job on his hands. It is also a very tough job. Of course, he cannot afford to lose the Ligue One title. They will also have to finish the Champions League in a respectable position. Let’s see if PSG can actually perform constantly. |

It is impossible for us to see bitcoin go below 15k again as we only have some months left to the halving and the price of bitcoin must be between the 20k-30k range,which is what we are experiencing now. I am hoping to see a pump in the price to 40k at the end of this year. This means that if bitcoin goes below 15k we won't be able to see 40k price by the end of this year. This will also affect the halving impact on bitcoin price. The halving will bring the bull market price and we are close to these two events so that is why we can't get a lower price. Bitcoin has hit its lowest price last year and wouldn't go back because there have been correction in the price already.
During this year's bear season, my conviction remains steadfast, I also don't believe bitcoin can drop to $12k. I believe there will be no more black swans causing bitcoin to be dumped so severely. But I don't think the fact that bitcoin can't fall that deep is due to the halving, the halving is the catalyst for a bull season, but that doesn't mean it can prevent a bitcoin drop. And we also lack evidence to prove that bitcoin will be range bound between $20,000 and $30,000 until the bull season kicks in. When it comes to bitcoin, don't claim anything. |

So far, there is no schools or universities that accepts Bitcoin payment and this can only be possible through payment solution different payment companies, for example PayPal and others, but still I have my doubt about Bitcoin as a means of payment because it's the only project running on the blockchain that's true decentralized, I believe that the government still won't like how they are not in total control of the digital currency, this is the only reason why Bitcoin is still lacking behind, it's because the rulers are running a centralized world where everything must be controllable by them.
Actually, many people still hope bitcoin will become a payment method or currency, however, I absolutely do not believe that to materialize in reality. Decentralization, a barrier to Bitcoin becoming a currency, No government will like a decentralized currency they can't control. Despite this fact, there are still many individuals who stubbornly refuse to accept this reality. It is undeniable that some businesses have accepted bitcoin as a payment method, but that does not mean that over time all governments will accept bitcoin as a common form of payment. |

Like it or not and many people do not accept this fact but I do not believe that bitcoin can become a legitimate payment method in the world due to its decentralized nature. Personally, I see bitcoin as an asset and will likely be a store of wealth in the future if it becomes more and more popular.
Isn't there already companies that accept Bitcoin as legitimate payment? I can buy items with Bitcoin on the internet. I can pay my bills through Bitcoin. If you can't consider that legitimate payment method then explain to me why it is not? I am referring to bitcoin's potential as a global currency just like widely accepted currencies like USD, if we are discussing the mere acceptance of Bitcoin by a handful of businesses in countries, it is hardly noteworthy enough to be mentioned. I don't know what country you are from and for my country I haven't even seen a store that accepts bitcoin for payment. While bitcoin has not been able to become a P2P payment method for the purposes Satoshi created it, I don't see anything too bad about bitcoin as an asset. It still brings many use cases, many utilities for us.
Eh??? Maybe many of us here don't use Bitcoin as a payment system, but as a bitcoin holder, I have been paying my items through Bitcoin for years, others of my transaction may go through a third-party processor but still, it shows that we can use Bitcoin as a payment method. Have you ever wondered about how many people have used bitcoin for payments, just like you? Or perhaps you are among the few who use bitcoin as a means of payment? My country doesn't ban bitcoin but 100% of people I know are using bitcoin as an investment. I don't even see anyone mention it as a payment method let alone anyone using it. |

I was willing to buy bitcoin immediately the price drop but the challenge i have them was I'm not with cash, but I will be waiting until the price fall again, and if it fall again I will not miss the opportunity of buying bitcoin and keep for long term investment
It is true that we do not always have enough money to invest in bitcoin, especially when the price drops suddenly. Everyone knows it's a good time to buy, but finance is something not everyone is ready for. But I advise you if you have the money to buy as soon as possible, do not wait for the price to drop further because no one can be sure the price will drop further. Have you ever thought that if the price does not decrease and increase continuously, you will miss the opportunity to buy cheap? So investing in bitcoin is buying when you can, don't wait for the price to drop to buy. |

Lately majority of people find theirselves within the crypto space, but many of them do not really understand the actual reasons for adopting crypto currency other than to make profit, what are your own reasons for adopting cryptocurrency?
As we are different humans being we have different thinking of bitcoin and our reasons of adopting will be different, so I believe that bitcoin knowledge is something I know very well that why people do accept Bitcoin is as result of it a digital currency and it does not being controlled by the government or being manipulate by the power of people around the society, and again it have a privacy and its also an asset, we have different dimensions of why we adopt bitcoin and know person we will state it veiw why it love bitcoin and it will be of different forms. Yes that’s true, but as human we all want the profit too. We just have to be careful and vigilant. Bitcoin provides a lot of useful use cases for us and each person will have a different use or case. But you are right, perhaps profit is still something that people will care about and prioritize. But that is not wrong because with the current life without money, what does privacy or anonymity mean? I mean, nobody cares about the poor, and if you're poor then you don't need privacy. Moreover, even governments, banks, organizations are looking for ways to make money, why don't we take advantage of bitcoin to make money? What's wrong here? Nothing actually but you’ve to DYOR and stay vigilant, don’t use any exchange you don’t trust unless their good reviews, also make sure you have a good in-depth understanding to anything you’re doing within the crypto space. One of the reason why I use only Binance and Bitget to trade is because of good reviews. I recommend limiting and if possible you are better off staying away from centralized exchanges. In addition to privacy, storing assets on a centralized platform is too risky. When you store your crypto assets on those exchanges, it is no longer yours and you are not in complete control of it. Reputable centralized exchanges like Binance or that bitget also have no guarantee that they won't crash. Don't forget that FTX is also one of the top exchanges until they crash without notifying you. |

Xavi have little experience in europe competition? come on man, that have to be a joke, i know he as a manager its one thing, but he play 20 years this competitions and he knows very well all from the inside of the beast, so, no excuses.
Xavi is new to European competition as a coach, but as a player we certainly don't doubt his quality. The proof that Xavi still has to improve his experience as a coach, is about his failure in the last two seasons in the Champions League and also in the Europa League. Therefore, it is not wrong if someone says Xavi still does not have enough experience to be able to make Barcelona great again in the Champions League and or in European competition. Therefore, I personally am still not sure about Barcelona this season in the Champions League. Because anyway, even though Barcelona has great players but still, it is also not a guarantee for Barcelona to be good in the Champions League. I have no doubt that Xavi is an excellent coach. But he is inexperienced. We saw Barcelona's performance in the champions league last season. Even in the europa league , Barcelona's performance was very poor . Their squad was strong, yet the team could not play well in the europa league or champions league. Barcelona performance in La liga this season has been quite stable. However it cannot be said for sure whether barcelona will be able to do well in the champions league. Barcelona will definitely need a strong defense to do well in the champions league . Because barcelona's defense was weak in champions league or europa league last season. barcelona's midfield and attack have been strong this season. Now if xavi can strengthen barcelona's defense, I think they will be able to perform stably in the champions league as well... |

I'm not directly buying Bitcoin myself; instead, I rely on signature campaign payments and never cash out a single Satoshi. Payments are made on a weekly basis, and due to some personal stuff going on now, I've missed a week or two. However, despite me not buying Bitcoin myself, this is still a form of DCA, because I could potentially withdraw every payment that went through. If I was in a dire financial situation and needed the money, then I guess I'd be forced to do it.
The last time I checked, my DCA, or average purchase price, was approximately $28,000, which means that I'm at a loss now. Although I don't find it significant enough to bother me, In my opinion, a decent average purchase price is somewhere between $24,000 and $25,000, which isn't too low nor too high to not be presented with great opportunities in the future. Unfortunately, even though I was in the Bitcoin scene quite early, I didn't have the chance to own Bitcoin when its value was significantly lower.
Accumulating bitcoins from signature campaign payments isn't too bad if you haven't sold any bitcoins yet. But why don't you buy bitcoin directly? I mean, we're in bear season and with many big drops like bitcoin down to $15k, it's a great time to buy bitcoin on the cheap. Since I think the opportunity to buy cheap bitcoin under 20k is not too much, we should take advantage of every opportunity we get. Just like many people were scared when they saw bitcoin plummet so did not dare to buy, and now they have to buy at a much higher price. I honestly could have purchased but did not, as I don't have a stable income at the moment and will not have for at least two more months and possibly even more, apart from signature campaigns and another minor source, which isn't enough, especially if you consider that signature campaign earnings strictly remain in my wallet untouched till the market recovers. Thus, at least for now, I prefer not to use any of my own money towards such investments because that would be risky and reckless. I have savings that are enough, so I could justify an investment; I'm not currently struggling, but as I mentioned earlier, I don't have a viable income. Thus, I prefer to play it safe and avoid using my own money, at least until I can afford to spend more without depleting my savings. I'm possibly going to regret it in the long run because Bitcoin is quite affordable at the moment and the capabilities of a 100% yield are extremely plausible in the next year. That sounds pretty sad, but you are correct in making the choice not to invest directly in bitcoin when there is no steady income. I support your decision. You have chosen the safe option, unlike some people even though they do not have a stable income or are unemployed and they think of borrowing money to invest in bitcoin. Although success requires trade-offs, it is important to consider the risks we may take, not to take risks blindly and foolishly. If circumstances don't allow you to invest then I don't think you need to regret it because as long as bitcoin is around, the opportunity will still be with us. |

We know cryptocurrency market is always unpredictable. Anything can be happen anytime. But general strategy telling it will not be happen $69k within this year. Now we are in last of August and now Bitcoin price is $26k within 3/4 month's $69k i mean 3x it is very difficult i think. We know for Bitcoin all-time high was $69k which was in 2021. And next bull session coming in 2024 i think, so i am not seeing any symptoms to back $69k in this year. But my advice everyone should Hold Bitcoin not sell now. I think bull session coming within short time. I think bull session will start in first quarter of 2024. Then everyone will happy who are invested in Bitcoin.
Indeed, the future is unpredictable and anything is possible. But if we rely on data like history, world economic situation and what's going on in the market, expecting bitcoin to hit $69,000 this year is really unlikely. We already know about the 4-year cycle of bitcoin, we should not deceive ourselves and set our expectations too high. It just leaves us frustrated and stuck because things don't go as we expected. Optimism is necessary in investing but should not be delusional. Optimism is okay but it still has to be realistic, I think so too, it is almost impossible for us to be able to return to the peak of the Bitcoin price this year, from any perspective I think there is almost no hope for us to achieve that. But talking about the 4 year cycle of Bitcoin, I really believe in that and the price of $69k is the ATH of Bitcoin in 2021, so I'm sure that for us to get back to that price and also higher then we have to wait 4 years after the ATh. While bitcoin won't be able to hit $69k this year or there won't be a new ATH, we shouldn't give up at this point. We are more than 3/4 of the way through the bear cycle and there is only a short way to go before we can pass. There is no reason to give up at this point, I really hope those who are frustrated by bitcoin's failure to recover this year are also not discouraged at the moment. Remember that the longer the bear market becomes fierce, the stronger the bull season will be. We will see a super bull cycle in the next 1 or 2 years. |

yes, so many people predict the future of the btc price even though in fact we will not know what the future price of btc will be, but of course we also have to individually predict the price of btc in the future, but I personally think that in the future the price of btc will go up high , that's why I dare to invest in btc but I'm also ready if I experience losses from investing in btc. because the most important thing is that we have to enjoy our investment.
By seeing a lot of predictions lately, of course everyone will dare to invest in BTC, but in investing, of course, you will experience profits and losses, so it's a good idea to know a lot of information about BTC before you start investing so that it will minimize the losses you will get in investing. It's true that we have to enjoy investing, if we don't have knowledge in investing, of course this will make us experience losses that we can't avoid. As with any investment strategy it is important to understand the risks involved before making any decisions. The cryptocurrency market is extremely volatile, and investing can potentially bring both profits and losses. Therefore, investors should always do thorough research and seek professional advice before committing any funds. One must have investment knowledge before investing but predicting the future of bitcoin is very difficult. The market is not stable and always goes up and down but investing in bitcoin is less risky. Long term investment should be held in this currency even if it goes down it will rise again. Once invested there is always risk and return, and bitcoin cannot be called a low risk investment while its return is very high. The higher the profit, the higher the risk whether it is short term or long term, we should not forget this. In my opinion, we don't need anyone's advice because not all experts know about bitcoin. It is important to take the time to learn everything about bitcoin before making a decision to invest in bitcoin. Absolutely do not invest in what you do not know about it and do not invest on the advice of others. Bitcoin is not like other traditional investments, it can be very profitable but the risk is also great so it is necessary to be more cautious when making decisions. |

Yeah we all know how volatile Bitcoin price is and if you're correctly use the moment, you will make a lot money after few years. Of course Bitcoin really give a lot change in financial matter, but I also use the advantage of Bitcoin as a store of value and be your own bank.
This give me feel if all of my money is safe, I don't need to think the inflation rate, bad economy in my country, bank bankrupt etc.
I will only agree with what you are saying if you are talking about the long term, in the short term this is not entirely true. If you were unlucky and bought bitcoin for $50k in 2021 then you will have to worry a lot now because your net worth is losing a lot. And if you needed to use that money now, what would happen? You can only be safe from inflation, a bad economy or a bank failure...when your bitcoin investments are long term and you don't need to use them in the short term. Bitcoin is very volatile so if all our assets were bitcoins there would be no guarantee for us in the short term. |

It’s like we are talking of our parents here. I don’t think they’re worthless to teach because first, they’re capable to invest because they have stable income. And second, they don’t have to dwell deeply in bitcoin. As long as they’ll understand the basics about bitcoin, and how to invest in it with patience because it’s a long term investment, then for sure they won’t keep losing either. Bitcoin as a currency will be easier to taught by then once they’ll be exposed about bitcoin as an investment first.
I think when it comes down to it and the context is learning then it's not wrong to teach older people about bitcoin because at the end of the day it's not leading them to investment but just teaching regardless of whether they're going to be here or not that's for them to decide for themselves. Remember, bitcoin has no limits and anyone who wants to learn then do it because it is individual freedom even in this case we also have many parents who are even older than we imagine to be in bitcoin and in this forum there are also some people who are even older but can still contribute and discuss about renewable technology such as bitcoin which is very worthy of appreciation. Bitcoin is for everybody and does not have an age boundary. However, older people shouldn't be forced to invest in Bitcoin. In the UK there are a lot of older cryptocurrency investors who invested in their retirement funds but later became a victim of crypto scammers, if they were taught about the safety aspect or how to secure their investment in BTC I believe they won't be victims of crypto scammer. Not only old people but even young people or anyone, if they really don't like to invest in bitcoin then we shouldn't force them. In my opinion, as long as anyone is interested and willing to invest in bitcoin, we should recommend it to them, there is no distinction between rich and poor, old or young when it comes to bitcoin. But the elders have an age barrier as bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick investment and it takes a long time to generate returns. So we need to explain clearly and emphasize for them to understand. |

As some asked, I will ask here too: when institutions use this "silent" method to buy bitcoin, are they doing it to gain control of a large percentage of the market or it is purely profit driven?
If they intend to gain control of a large percentage of the market, their ultimate goal is also profit. If they don't profit from controlling the market, what's the point of controlling? Just like why governments and banks want to control our money, isn't it because it makes them profitable? So I will agree with some of the above comments, organizations, governments or anyone once involved in investing in bitcoin, the profit is what anyone is aiming for. |

Marseille are in a really worrying situation for now. First the elimination by Panathinaikos in the Champions League qualifiers and now the worrying performance in the Ligue 1. For example in their latest league match Metz were nearly beating them despite playing with 10 players. They made a comeback from 0-1 to 2-1 with 10 players and Marseille barely saved one point. Marcelino had better find a solution as soon as possible. The earlier the team start playing better the higher Marcelino's chance to stay here for one more season. Otherwise he might not see the last year on his contract.  Marseille is making mistakes every year and now they lost their player, Alexis Sánchez, This player is now a free player and he is a target for other teams like Iner Milan while Alexis Sánchez is a player Marseille needs him for the next season. They also didn't invest much compared to other teams which can put this team in a bad situation. Things are definitely not going as they should be for Marseille. Definitely, better performance was expected from them. And to be honest, I did not think that even in 1 million years, they were actually going to be beaten by Panathinaikos in the Champions League qualifiers. I genuinely do not understand how they managed to do that. The performance they are showing in the Ligue 1 has also not been good so far. I always say that a team performs as well as they should be at the start of the season. But this type of performance is a little too bad for explanation. They will have to get better otherwise there will be strict actions taken about/against the coach. |

A lot of people are making so much hue and cry about Saudis purchasing star players for 3x or 5x their fair price. But we need to remember that it was European clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain which started this trend. Now they are getting a taste of their own medicine and all of a sudden they are complaining. There seems to be one rule for the Europeans and another for the non-Europeans. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar once said: "Europe has to grow out of the mindset that Europe’s problems are the world’s problems".
I think that's a fair statement. The main difference probably is that the European leagues have been established for a long time already, and are full of talented players. It makes sense to have high offers there because it is really competitive. On the other hand, in Saudi Arabia, and other similar places, the quality of the current players is nowhere near the European leagues. It's only money, so that's why it doesn't make sense, at the moment at least. Maybe in 10 years the Saudi League will become the most prestigious one. Who knows. Saudi league is definitely improving. The Saudis are just doing what they need to do so that they can make the league a better one. There is no reason to cry about it. They have the money to afford things. So they are buying things as they want. If any other club won the player, they can buy them by offering more money. I know some people to say that they are abusing the money that they have. But the thing is they have the money to abuse, and the money did not come free. They have to definitely work for the money that they are spending. Moreover, they are not recklessly squandering their funds; rather, they are making calculated investments. And the way they are approaching, I can definitely say that the return on investment is going to be a really good one. |

Inter Miami Vs Cincinnati
Today's US.Open Cup Semi-Final ended in a tightly contested 105-minute match with Inter Miami leading 2-3. Although cincinati is playing very aggressive football in order to pay goals, it is not possible to say for sure what will happen in the end. Even though Messi did not score in today's match, he made two assists. However, if Inter Miami wins today, they will advance to the final and meet in the final on September 27.
Oh my goodness..
Cincinati Vs MIA: 3:3 level
the score was currently 3-3, Cincinnati leveled the score in the 114th minute. It was almost over and if there were still no winning goals it would be a penalty shootout. Semi-finals, it was interesting even though Messi didn't score, he is also a good assist provider. no doubt Messi is very good in ball possession skills and also seeing the position of friends. Cincinnati is quite aggressive, they create many opportunities to try to qualify for the final round. but it looks like the match will end in a penalty shootout. Indeed, Lionel Messi's luck was good as he won the League Cup final on penalty shots, just like today, beating Cincinnati in the US Open Cup semi-finals on penalty shots. However, Messi didn't score any goals in today's match but he played a great role today and made two assists to keep the team in a strong position. This leads to Messi's second Champions Trophy in his MLS career. But if the winning streak is right, they will definitely win the final on September 27 and be able to take the second champion trophy. However Congratulations Inter Miami for reaching US Open cup final. This was definitely very close match. Even in the penalties, it was close. 5-4 in favour of Inter Miami. At one point it was definitely looking more like Inter Miami is going to lose. The goal in the 97th minute of the injury time came as a blessing for them. That was the moment when I thought probably this match is going to have a different outcome than we expected. And that is exactly what happened. Congratulations to Inter Miami for being able to win the match. But at the same time, I have to say they were really lucky to be able to win the match. |
