Lampard is not a successful coach who has a lot of experience, on the contrary, Lampard has failed to manage several teams and at the moment Chelsea has no other choice so for a while they appointed Lampard as coach.
and I'm sure that for next season Lampard will be replaced and Chelsea will have to improve a lot if you don't want a bad season like this to happen again.
in fact Chelsea had made a mistake since the start of sacking Tauchel, Chelsea's management was very impatient when the team's performance was declining and did not want to give the coach time to improve, and now they are feeling the bad effects. I would also say the same about Lampard, of course because he is a coach who has not experienced enough managing a team as big as Chelsea even though he is a former great player for his club. Lampard's coaching skills need to be honed and he needs to be experienced enough at a few other smaller clubs for his impact on the team to be really good. There's a lot of pressure for him to deal with at Chelsea which is likely to miss his second chance. So I don't think Lampard will be good for Chelsea's current state, to be honest he isn't worth it yet in my opinion. |

It is undeniable, Chelsea performance which is still erratic places them as a non seeded team in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The lack of goal productivity is one of Chelsea weaknesses ahead of the match against Real Madrid, Chelsea failed to score in 8 of their last 13 matches in all competitions.
The situation that Chelsea is facing makes Real Madrid not afraid of the strength of its opponent, especially in the meeting between the two teams last season, Real Madrid was able to beat Chelsea, which has a stronger team depth than this season. Real Madrid must take advantage of the weaknesses of Chelsea and the Santiago Bernabeu atmosphere to win, the results of the first leg will help them make it easier when away to Stamford Bridge. Whatever Chelsea's current problems are, I'm not 100% sure Real Madrid can deal with them. Real Madrid have good experience in the Champions League, but Chelsea is a team that also has the good mentality to present tough competition. I know we (Real Madrid) are stronger, but when you realize that Chelsea have quality players then no one will underestimate them today. A lot of the Spanish media seem to really believe we will win the match, I agree on that, but Chelsea are team to watch out for. Lampard might make an impact on Chelsea's performance this time around, so it's expected that the game will be very interesting. |

It is now 1-0. Manchester City leads 1-0. Rodri Hernandez scoring for Manchester City Rodri scored from Bernardo Silva's pass. It was a nice goal. Both teams are playing aggressively today. Bayern Munich also had several good attacks. However, Manchester City's defenders are playing well. It is impossible to predict who will win the match. But it seems that we will see many goals in today's match. Bayern Munich will never be defeated. Tuchel will continue to try until the last minute. As far as the first half, I haven't seen Tuchel plan really well against Manchester City. Even I can say Pep Guardiola's game plan and strategy are really effective both when they attack or defend. Of course this game is very interesting because both teams play with high intensity, but the statistics say Manchester City is ahead when attacking. Now the first half has ended for Manchester City's 1-0 win over Bayern Munich. Rodri's goal was good, a curling left footed shot which has been rare lately. |

This is the final before the finals, both teams will be bringing their best today considering they need the win to the next round which may be more easier than this. There are two games ongoing tonight but focus is more on the Manchester City and Bayern Munich game. I expect a super game knowing how both teams are tactically sound and will put up a good performance. I want Bayern Munich to win. Both teams have the chance to win regardless of who is the favourite. Manchester City have a healthy squad to try their best, but that doesn't make victory guaranteed. Bayern Munich is very good in their attack scheme, their counter-attacks are very dangerous and of course the defense is very supportive. The only problem with this game is that Manchester City seem to be very effective regarding their goals stats. Haaland has been unstoppable lately, he is very likely to score in this match in my opinion. While the probability of Manchester City winning is up to 60%, I don't think it really matters. |

Manchester City vs Bayern Munich is a game I really look forward to. The champions league is one trophy that city sole desires, last two seasons they came close but were denied by Chelsea as the blues won the final. The citizens has won all domestics trophies in England but are yet to establish their footings in european football. A home win would give them much confidence into the return match at Alianz Arena. But the question is will city have an easy one against Bayern? This is Bayern and the champions league is one trophy they know how to win. I doubt Manchester City in this match even though many people seem very optimistic about Manchester City's chances of winning. Of course, it is still very difficult to justify the results of the match because this match is expected to be fierce for both teams. Bayern Munich are team unbeaten in the Champions League since the group stage, their defense is very strong and that has to be the basis of why I doubt Manchester City's home match. The meeting record of the two teams seems to be the same, they have won and lost each other in 6 meetings. Pep might have won because Bayern Munich was a team he had worked with for several seasons, but now Bayern Munich is a very different team. The match will be in 20 minutes, but I'm just curious about Haaland today. |

I'm not sure if $30k will be hit in April, but of course it's very possible during the market recovery. There is only one belief that the bears are over at the moment, so I definitely expect the bulls to be able to move forward in the near future.
Bearish is over? Maybe yes because the current market price for Bitcoin in the course of the second week of April has reached $30k from a price of $28k. But we can't say for sure that the bearishness is over for sure. A very visible increase in how the graph changed from horizontal to upward occurred yesterday. Sometimes we don't need to worry a lot about Bitcoin about the price choosing long term even though the initial April market price situation had a little difficulty moving up. To be honest I was wrong with my previous assumption where I doubted $30k in April, which was the opposite case where $30k was successfully pushed earlier this week. Of course I'm happy with the price recovery that occurred in the last 3 months, it has made my investment portfolio better after a year before being on the floor, oh but maybe it's not the time to have fun yet. Looking ahead I can really expect this recovery to continue and the price to hit the next resistance. $32k to $35k is possible next target if price manages to hold above $30k for some time to come. |

There is nothing wrong in asking how to get merits because merits is a very big part of this forum. It is something we cannot shy away from. Without merits ranks would be stocked and stagnant and the forum may become boring.
Everyone in the forum needs merit and it is good to know how to earn it legitimately. Asking about how to get merit was basically fine, but what was problem was how he had directly asked about the merit system since his first post. If OP is aware that merit is needed to rank up, then he should already know how he got it without having to ask. I honestly don't want to kick it too hard, but it's hard to believe newbie would ask about the merit of his first post unless he was mentored to be here. But welcome to the bitcointalk.org forum OP, if you haven't been introduced yet. |

Bitcoin price was last pumping $28k+, and the exchange has only been surprised with small dumps these days. The red chart is not serious, the price drop is between $1k. That's not a huge number for Bitcoin. Now it's April, at the end of the month the price of Bitcoin will be pumped even though it's not what we targeted. It also has a lot to do with what MicroStrategy does. I don't expect you to always think that only institutional investors can drive up prices, while traders and retail investors also have a role to play in this case. The price tends to be difficult to reach $ 30k because lately there is more selling than buying interest, but of course that does not necessarily make the price fall. I'm not sure if $30k will be hit in April, but of course it's very possible during the market recovery. There is only one belief that the bears are over at the moment, so I definitely expect the bulls to be able to move forward in the near future. |

It was a good match of equal teams, the whole problem with Liverpool is that they were not able to be quite consistent in their results. Liverpool need to strengthen the team, and first of all, they need to strengthen the defense, for this they need funding, but it is not clear whether this is possible without reaching the Champions League next season. Every team has difficult times, Klopp's dismissal would be stupid, probably no one wants it, but such a team needs results, eighth place is too weak a result. We all know that Liverpool's season has really not been as consistent as it should be. Liverpool have lost 9, drawn 8 in 29 Premier League matches, those are the statistics of a bad season for them. I also hope that next season they will have to spend a lot of money on several players, especially midfielders and attackers. Defense also needs a few touches, but it really depends on who will manage this team. I always hoped that Klopp could stay in the Premier League with Liverpool, but if Liverpool's performance is too bad, then there is a threat for him. Today Liverpool played well compared to the previous matches against Manchester City and Chelsea, this can be seen from how excited the players were throughout the match against Arsenal. |

Liverpool's performance improved in the second half unfortunately, they failed to get a win. They had a lot of good chances that could have been scored, but they didn't have a great finishing touch, and Arsenal goalkeeper played quite brilliantly tonight. Besides that, Liverpool relies too much on Salah and I think Salah is like someone who has run out of battery, where his movements are easy to read and his ball control looks quite poor (the most fatal he failed to execute the penalty).
Yes, Liverpool should have won this match because they played very well in the second half. At least Salah had a few chances but he was really unlucky today and he also missed a penalty. Nunez also failed to score even though he only faced one on one with Aaron Ramsdale. This goalkeeper's performance helped Arsenal avoid defeat, he was very good today. Now Manchester City has great hopes of catching up to Arsenal's points even though they still have difference of 6 points. City will play Leicester next week at the Etihad, it is a great opportunity to reduce the point difference to 3. Of course the results of today's match have indirectly benefited Manchester City, but everything still depends on how they get good results in the next few matches. |

Damn, a few seconds since this post then Villarreal really scored the 3rd goal Madrid 2 - 3 Villarreal Laliga surprise today  In the end we had to be content enough to play without any points at home today. At the same time we also give Barcelona a great chance to win the title because the difference in points is huge. I don't think we have to express regret for the defeat, but to be honest a defeat like this was not expected especially at home. Alright, here are today's standings after Real Madrid lost from Villarreal. It is likely that Barcelona will lead by 15 points in the standings and get closer to the title.  |

People with the mentality that the time isn't right are always procrastinators and they don't achieve anything in life. If you buy now and the market dumps, it doesn't mean you're in loss. You can only lose when you sell your coins in losses but if you hold your Bitcoin until the bull market returns then you'll be back profit. Holders never lose and it's less riskier than trading.
Investors that have developed the habit of holding are the most successful people in Bitcoin history. Not even the traders comes close to their success. You might never see Bitcoin at the price it is today again so why not buy now that it's trading for this low or do you want to panic and buy when the fomo is high during the bull market. I think it's always good to buy bitcoins when you have the urge regardless of the price. If indeed you are in doubt because the price seems high, then DCA is a strategy to consider. It might be good to hold off on a purchase if someone is expecting gains in the short term, but if they are expecting gains in the long term then I think purchase is advisable. Buy and hold, I think it's a great idea to expect long term returns. Besides, bitcoin is still very low compared to last year, so buying now is good, but buying later is also not a problem. |

That's a challenging question because things are changing too fast in the world these days. A couple of years ago when I talked about dedollarisation nobody believed me. Today it is the hot topic around the world.
The economy is facing a lot of radical changes too. With high inflation in countries that never believed it alongside recession and deindustrialization are all pushing the people in the world into thinking about alternative ways to store value. Bitcoin is an excellent candidate which means in the following years we could see a lot more adoption and at a much faster speed.
With all that said my choice is the first option in the poll (2029 or sooner) even though it is such a broad time-frame since as I said things are changing too fast and we could see $1 million in a year or two instead of 6. I agree with your analysis, another consideration is that banks are in big trouble these days and that will definitely encourage more people to buy bitcoin as an alternative. But anyway, I should consider a bit slower time frame, at least in the next 2 halving cycles. I will be very happy if $1M is finally reached, even sooner the better. |

Madrid cannot play more efficiently without Luka Modric and Toni Cross. We saw in the first half, Real Madrid's midfield was very chaotic. They can't control the ball well. This is the condition if the midfield player does not control the ball properly. Even more possession of the ball dominated by Villarreal.
Maybe in the second half, Camavinga and Modric will fill the midfield, and Rodrygo will be replaced by Valverde. Madrid's first goal was just an own goal. Villarreal continued to launch attacks, in the first half Villarreal managed to make 5 shots on target. But if Madrid don't replace the midfield players, it may be difficult to win the game. I no longer care whether Real Madrid are still aiming for the La Liga title or not, but so far Real Madrid have had to rotate their players to be ready to face Chelsea in the Champions League. Of course Villarreal was a threat to Real Madrid today, but I think we can still win this game even without some senior players. Villareal is playing well at the moment, Real Madrid must be careful if they don't want to lose. Even though Real Madrid have to maintain their best form ahead of the first leg of the Champions League, I agree with Ancelotti's decision to rotate several players. Kross and Modric are important, while Benzema has also been replaced by Valveldre. |

Man City got a big win against Southampton. I already thought that Man City would get an easy win because Southampton's performance has been really bad this season. Even though they are playing at home but their level is very far away when compared to Man City, who has had a very stable performance recently. With this victory, Man City have managed to cut their gap with Arsenal for the time being, and it is possible that this distance will not change considering that Arsenal has to visit Liverpool. Even though many of us thought that Manchester City would win easily against Southampton, but in fact the match was very tight in the first half. Haaland scored 1 goal at the end of half, and that is changing the scheme of play in the second half. Arsenal and Manchester City's points are currently only 5 points away where Arsenal are still leading. But considering Arsenal's meeting with Liverpool tomorrow, I don't think the 5 point gap will change either. I consider Arsenal to lose to Liverpool even if the chance are equal. Liverpool should be pretty good at Anfield even if Arsenal are still very stable on form in in the last 5 matches. |

I don't think Sevilla will lose any more points, especially since they are ahead of Celta by a clean goal scored by Nesyri with a beautiful header. Now, Sevilla must fight until the end to maintain the result they have achieved so far. Sevilla still has the potential to do more in La Liga and stay away from the relegation zone. Too bad for the end of Sevilla vs Celta Vigo. Sevilla should be able to secure victory in the last 5 minutes of the match, but they conceded 2 goals at the end of the game like that. Of course it is very clear that they are lacking 1 player because of the red card, but this result must be very detrimental to Sevilla completely. For Sevilla 1 point today is very unfair, especially after they were 2-0 up in 89 minutes of normal time before disaster struck. |

I think Milan underestimated Empoli too much. Pioli substituted Giroud, Diaz, and Leao. which is the main key to Milan's victory over Napoli. either deliberately saving them for the Champions League or whatever. but fortunately, they did not get defeated. Milan may no longer be trying to chase the Serie A trophy. But Milan's position in the standings is also not secure. Milan must also think about their continuity in the next season. Rotation is necessary, but sometimes it costs. Of course Stefano Pioli rotated so that his important players were really fit against Napoli in the Champions League, but that actually made Milan fail to win a match they really dominated. Milan's main problem in this match is Empoli's really good defense. Milan excelled everything, but they could not score until the end of the match. Of course it's very bad about a draw because Milan should have been ahead of Inter by 3 points. Samuele Perisan made 4 saves from 4 shots on target, while Empoli tended to defend throughout the match. |

discipline is most important to trade like a robot, discipline matter more than winrate. I suggest this two books , 1. disciplined trader , 2. trading in the zone , if you can't afford these books then there are so many websites availed to download for free or you can watch summary on youtube 2 times . Discipline must work on anything. In trading, yes, discipline is very important, like our consistency in keeping learning from time to time, to understand which trading strategy activities really fit us. Additionally, we must be also patient enough in trading, not only patient to take the profits, but also patient in controlling our unstable emotions, facing unstable and volatile markets, FUD, and other terms that probably cause us lost. Hopefully, at least we can be more consistent in doing training with understanding not only the knowledge but also other disciplines. Sometimes knowledgeable people can also fail in practice, that's because trading is not always as expected. There are many factors that help a trader succeed, but the best is himself and his ability to understand the market. I'm sure not all of us have the same background knowledge, ability and intelligence to understand the market, it will also affect the success of the plans developed by traders. Even I still get losses in trading during price fluctuations. Experience can only minimize the risk of loss, but loss is always difficult to avoid. Mate, Losing is normal in trading, but the most important thing is how to plan a strategy after losing. |

Since the beginning of 2023 we have been hearing news about FED planning to decrease interest rates this year, and that is one of the main reasons why the market became so confident and optimistic so far, coming from 16,600$ in January to almost 28,000$ right now. If FED really achieves the goal stated months ago, it's very possible bitcoin will enter 35,000$ or even 40,000$ zone this year yet, what will definitely help the next bull run to gain even more traction in 2024. Lower your expectations bro, enjoy the volatility and stay focused on your long term plan. If you really expect good returns in the long term, then anything that's causing the price to fluctuate right now should be ignored. I believe the FED can influence the market, but their plans to lower interest rates are not yet real. I'm starting to wonder what the underlying price is too hard to break $30k right now. Even the price movement tends to be sideways in my opinion at $ 27k to $ 28k. |

Failure and success remind me of the Chinese yin yang concept. The concept of yin yang is used to explain the interdependence and complementarity of opposing forces in nature and the universe, and to illustrate the importance of balance and harmony in achieving overall well-being. In trading like the op said it helps to create harmony of our emotions and to have a clear head when trading. Nothing can go as smoothly as expected, that means that each of us must experience ups and downs. Even a businessman will not be as successful as he seems without ever failing or at least losing money financially, that also applies to traders and investors because they both involve money. The successful are those who keep trying after failing, those who get up after falling until they finally find balance. |
