Sevilla's instability brought them to the disadvantage they are now. They dropped points in some important matches which put them under pressure from Barcelona as well as Atletico Madrid.
Now that they will face Real Sociedad, it will not be easy for Sevilla in this match. I see a draw will return to Sevilla's result.
Real Sociedad will be a difficult opponent for Sevilla especially now that Sevilla's performance has decreased drastically and their elimination from the Europa League stage has greatly affected the team's mentality. now the distance between Sevilla points with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid is only 5 points and Barcelona have not played 1 game remaining. I think it will make Sevilla more depressed and in the match against Real Sociedad I also think it is very difficult for sevilla to get a good result, maybe this match will be a draw again.
I do not think that Sociedad could be a threat to anyone lately. If you check their previous games lately, they have been losing a lot of them and they haven't been the team that started the league so well. At some point they were even leading the league and that was definitely something unique. At the end of the day, we are talking about a situation where we need to realize they are gone and they are not good at all.

Sevilla on the other hand had ties too many times in a row, and those draw games allowed Barcelona to get closer, I believe that they will try to turn the momentum and have a better situation at hand. I do not know if they can achieve it, but this will be either Sevilla win or a tie if you ask me.

Of the several teams remaining in the Europa League this season I think the quality that Barcelona has above all of these teams, so it is very likely that Barcelona can win the Europa League this season if they are able to be consistent with their current game.
Xavi's arrival to coach Barcelona seemed very clearly capable of changing everything and the arrival of several new players made a very positive contribution, now Barcelona are very productive in scoring goals, all of which cannot be separated from the arrival of some of their new strikers such as Aubameyang and Adama Traore.
You know what is the funny thing about Barcelona not being the "clear favorites" for some people? They saw that Galatasaray is not even good in turkish league, and decided that if Barcelona ends up having so much trouble beating them, then they should have a harder time when faced with better teams. What they do not realize is that Barcelona managed to beat ossasuna 4-0, elce 2-1, bilbao 4-0, napoli 4-2, valencia 4-1, and these all happened in the last 30 days.

I get that there could be better teams they may face but Frankfurt is not one of them for sure. People need to realize Barcelona is not doing all that bad, they are doing fine, it was just a bad mismatch for them to face a heavily defensive team.

Doesn't matter in the slightest that it takes time. There are two things that could be done, first of all you could start right now and it will take a year before you can get the most out of a place and meanwhile let the gas prices be high during that time, or you could use the ones that we already had someone working on and put subsidiaries on it and get them paid a lot more and basically tax payers money would go to lowering the price of gas.

All in all it is sad that it happened after 2+ years of pandemic, so we are reaching to 2+ years of economical chaos around the world. But, it certainly is a better feeling than depending on Russia at all times.
People do not realize that the price is already going down. It will keep being like this for a long time but oil prices weren't 10$ before this war started neither. Just let the prices go up, and make it expensive and that will promote clean energy a lot better. We all know that clean energy has only 2 problems, aside from that they are much better for everyone both economically and also helps the world.

One of the problems is that storing it is hard, not impossible but hard, and that makes it difficult, but if everyone starts using solar panels on their roofs, then it would be a great start. Secondly it is expensive to start, and this is where oil prices matter. If the oil prices are high, then spending that high money on solar instead could help out a lot.
1344  Economy / Economics / Re: US warns India over oil deal with Russia on: March 19, 2022, 06:20:31 PM
We can't go on like this. I mean I get that there could be sides of this war, there could be west vs Russia type of war and everyone could make their own dealings with it.

However, I do not understand the forcing nations to pick a side. I mean if India or any other nation provided soldiers and money and help to Russia to win this war, then I would understand how that could be bad, after all you are helping one nation to hurt the other one, and in that case there is a choosing a side. But, if I want to buy oils from both the USA and Russia at the same time during this period, I should be able to. You can't just warn people for business.
This is what west wants, Russia is wrong, we all know Russia is wrong and we all know what Russia is doing right now is evil. However west wants everyone around the whole world to stop working with them and helping them get richer. If you keep getting oil from them, you will be getting some sanctions as well, and in that case you will be getting even worse. But if you do not get cheap oil from them, then inflation will be horrible.

Oil is not just for your cars, it increases prices of everything, even your regular food gets higher because all those trucks that get the food from the farms to supermarkets uses fuel. Hence they are saying get worse economically but still decline to work with Russia.

Research is important for everyone regardless of who he really is, because with this, everyone can certainly find out all the information he needs before making any steps in the crypto space, so it is clear as you say that research is not only intended for research. for newbies only, but for people who are experienced in crypto it should also be considered very important.
If you are a veteran it is even more important for you. Because, we all know that it is not really a free giveaway here and it should be something important for a veteran to not make newbie mistakes at all. Doesn't mean that newbies would not be able to see anything specific, they need to be careful and they could get better of course and they will do better but when you are a newbie making a small amount of mistakes would be fine and shouldn't really be bothered right away.

On the other hand, if you have been here as a veteran for a long time, and make mistakes that only a newbie would do, then it would be a lot more humiliating so veterans need to be a lot more careful.

It's true that the draw hasn't been done yet so we don't know which team will go up against which team. However, before the draw is made and we know the exact schedule, it is not wrong if we try to predict who will qualify for the next stage of the 8 teams that have now qualified. Who knows our guess is right even though it hasn't been drawn yet.
There are some teams we all know will have a field day unless they face each other. I know that Real Madrid, Manchester city and Bayern Munich all will have a great time unless they face each other. If they face other teams, then they are going to semi finals for sure and there is no doubt about that.

Obviously, they could face each other and in that situation only one of them will go ahead, while the other one will be eliminated but even in that case whoever goes to next stage has a chance to beat their semi finals opponent a lot more easier. I believe that there will be at least two of them facing each other, but that leaves one alone and that one may win the title.
1347  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Alt market today on: March 18, 2022, 08:23:04 PM
The situation still facing the challenge, it pumps today but it drops again in a few days. The market is still unstable despite that Ukraine and Russia are now legalizing Bitcoin. The conflicts that they have made still affecting the market, that probably we can't see the market recovering fast if this will continue. Plus, the sanctions that happened to Russia helped to decrease the demand and push the price to move in sideways.
However, it was still looking positive, the price of Bitcoin managed to keep not below $35k despite all of these things which means that people are still holding and remain calm.
That could go on for a long time and we just gotta have to face the reality that it may not be so simple at all times. I mean volatility is not just one direction, it goes up and down, which means that sometimes we will face these type of situations and that is fine.

I personally believe that we will go up, above 50k+ levels even 60k+ levels again but until we do that, it may do this up and down a few more times. We just have to realize that it is not a big deal and we need to accept the fact that it is not really that simple to be part of crypto if we want stability. Failing to go higher and higher is something alright because we also fail to go lower.

Gys Is Its Possible ALT coins Hit Previous ATH in the 2022
I'm not sure if it happens in 2022 because we have experienced it one year before, if it happens it will make cryptocurrency grow unhealthy and many people don't want to buy it if every year the price continues to be hit by ATH.
In 2022 we should continue to be in a bear market even though some coins go up by tens of percent that doesn't mean it will break through ATH because the chances are small.
For now the only movement that can be trusted is bitcoin, although the possibility of ATH happening again this year is small, it doesn't mean it's impossible if bitcoin continues to show green on the chart.
There is nothing wrong with breaking ATH every single year, that could be done, the problem would be not going down after that. As long as we have a 50% drop every year, we could have a 2x increase every year as well. I personally believe that we have done a good job so far and I believe that if this year has a 70k or so price, and then have a bit of drop? That would be perfect.

It both allows people to make a profit, and also a place where they can enter once again later on. This may not be a simple task, but it is certainly the task I believe that could happen. This doesn't mean that we should expect it to happen, it just mean there is nothing stopping it.
1349  Economy / Speculation / Re: No strength in Bitcoin in higher time frames on: March 18, 2022, 01:55:40 PM
Still waiting for what will the market brings us, from this January post the price of Bitcoin just come and back to 40k or at least 45k but not higher than that things that i believe a sign of bearish market?
or what I mean is staying in this position for the best result in the 4th quarter?
anyway I care nothing about the market now because i already Sealed my Bitcoin in my wallet lol, meaning non of those will come or go until the specific time i decided to sell out, I'm tired of buying and selling since I am not that good, so now I will try the practical way and that is completely holding .
Just because price doesn't go up, doesn't make it a bear market. I have been talking about this for months now, and did it during 2018 as well and people keep not understanding carefully. If you end up with a big fall, then stay at low price, you had a bear market but you are no longer in one. This is what people need to realize, you are not doing badly and you should not be considering this as a bear market.

I feel like we may not be successful in going higher, but that doesn't mean we are in a bear market. Hopefully it doesn't go too low, if it does go too low then we are going to end up with a lot worse results and it would not be a great moment and it could be called a bear market then.
1350  Economy / Speculation / Re: No FUDs will win the market on: March 18, 2022, 08:10:20 AM
news and event tells something that we need to be watchful as the market will either pump or dump certain influence will be felt right after the news or when rumors of the news are being discuss, you need to be aware of the implication that it will bring to the market as it will help you make some decision to position yourself and try to take advantage of the market.

The more you understand the flow, the better chances that you'll be getting from the asset that you are investing.
I do not think that people care about the news (good or bad) as much as we used to. Obviously, manipulators will use that news to make changes and create big movements, but people care about the movement itself more than they care about the news. So, let’s assume that the price is 40k right now right? If china bans it again, which they have done probably a dozen times already, then what would people do?

People would not react to it, but some whales will drop the price at the same time, price would fall and people would react to that. Then everyone will talk about how the price went low after china banned it. When in reality people sold because price was going down.
1351  Economy / Economics / Re: What if Russia economy grows higher after the war on: March 17, 2022, 06:44:26 PM
Despite that anything is possible, I honestly don’t think that it would be that easy and the chances are like “zero” “nada”. Right now, Russia’s economy is crumbling because of the Western sanctions. The damage has been done in both economically and diplomatic relationships.

Yes we all know that the economy can be revived, but building and recovering will take a very, very, very long time.

Reminds me of a quote something like “It takes XX years to build reputation and trust, only to lost it in just less than 24 hours”. This is what Putin did to himself, and he paid a big price. Karma is gonna haunt him for the rest of his life.
People do not realize the lasting impacts of these type of sanctions. It already destroyed a big portion of their income, and Ruble worths a lot less because of it, the most devalued currency all of a sudden and I mean like more than Argentina and Venezuela and all that. Even Zimbabwe lost less value than Ruble during this period.

So it already hurt, but the longer it goes, the more it is hurting them and there is no way that they could just recover and be better right after the sanctions are lifted off neither. It would have a good impact at first but those deals need to be restrict again. All of this results with maybe years of terrible economy for them already guaranteed today, gets worse every day it goes on.
1352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 17, 2022, 04:44:02 AM
The Ligue 1 competition is not good enough for top players like Messi, Neymar and Mbappe but money has brought them to play there instead of competition and stiff competition between teams.

The Ligue 1 ranking is much lower than the Bundesliga and other top leagues in Europe or maybe the same as the Portuguese Premier League ranking where there are only 2 representative teams that qualify directly for the Champions League each season and one other team has to qualify for it. So it makes me think that Mbappe, Messi and Neymar really weren't having fun playing there much longer than we expected. Next season, maybe Mbappe will no longer play for PSG and he will move to another team that is better than the current PSG.
Because indeed the competition to win this league is quite easy, there may even be no competition to win this league because PSG are always superior with money, thus giving a fairly large gap in terms of player quality which makes the competition uncompetitive.
Maybe in this case the pleasure or not is measured by the amount of money that is poured lol.
but if Mbappe is happy then he probably won't want to leave PSG now
I would guess that even though there is a good case to be made for Ligue 1 to be not a great place to show your prowess, I feel like some players are just looking for a challenge and that never really made sense to me. You could make 50 million euros per year, and win the league every year for 10 years straight, and you already won it so many times as well.

Isn't that great? I mean who wouldn't want something like that? Why do you need to challenge yourself to some other bigger deals and end up doing something bigger and harder and get some more respect? You will end up with maybe like 500+ million euros for the next 10 years, total of maybe 1 billion when you retire, isn't that enough respect?
1353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread on: March 16, 2022, 09:23:51 PM
Barcelona's appearance in La Liga is getting more consistent, they managed to get 4 wins in a row and make Barcelona currently in third position. But because the distance between Barcelona and Real Madrid is too far, it seems unlikely that Barcelona will compete for the La Liga trophy this season. So the Europa League must be Barcelona's main focus right now, because Barcelona's chances are still very high to win the Europa
League trophy. Although the results of the first leg were not very impressive, because Barcelona failed to win. But I'm very optimistic in the second leg Barcelona will win, moreover, the quality of the players that Galatasaray has is very far from Barcelona. So Barcelona should be able to take advantage of the quality of the players it has to be able to win in the second leg. And I believe Xavi already has his own strategy to beat Galatasaray in the second leg, Xavi must have learned the mistakes made by Barcelona players in the first leg. So I predict Barcelona will win in the second leg, even if they have to play away.
These type of unexpected results could happen at any given minute. I mean just because they are getting better, and just because they have been winning games in la liga doesn't mean that they will never lose another single game until the end of the season. That could also happen, but it is not guaranteed at all. They may lose this game, they may lose in la liga next week, anything could happen.

This doesn't make them bad neither, it just makes them a normal team, everyone has losses. I still believe that they will win this one though, it should not really be that weird and they will probably end up winning this one for sure. They are just too good to lose this one.
1354  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Gaming tokens to invest in on: March 16, 2022, 08:53:09 PM
The NFT hype really is a big thing last year and maybe until now.
We've seen Axie starting the NFT hype, we've seen an NFT being sold for $69 Million Dollars, we've seen NFT arts that are getting stolen, we've seen numerous NFT as well both games and arts that are running away and rug pulling those poor investors. We've seen all the crazy thing that can happen to crypto with NFT.

Now with NFT games, I should say that make your own research before investing. I'm not disagreeing with what the OP has shared to us and I don't think that they will rug pull those investors as well but I think that its better to just focus on the most popular NFT games as of this moment like Axie, Pegaxy and even Illuvium. Own opinion though. Right now, I'm not invested into those NFT games because I'm more focused on Axie and Pegaxy. Still waiting for Illuvium, League of Ancients and Guild of Guardians for their game to be launched Smiley.
I do agree that there is a bit of hype involved even to this day. It is not as much as it used to be, it is a lot less right now and that is understandable. However, we still have some right now. Which is why finding some good ones is not that easy and it would take a long time.

I personally believe that we should not really be shocked all that much that we are not really living in a profitable part of NFT world right now, it is not as profitable as people imagine they were. So, whatever you end up buying, you need to make sure that you are doing the right thing and researching them well enough.

I want to reenter bounty campaign market. So please suggest me best bounty campaigns that pay in USDT or popular cryptocurrencies. Thank you.
I seldom check the bounty campaign but if they are going to pay with USDT and popular Cryptocurrency, they have a high standard for their participants and it is usually managed by reputable managers and these managers escrowed the funds, joining is not automatic they have certain requirements like merits and posting on sections where they required, so if you are going to join be sure you are a good forum poster and you can keep up with the requirements.
Those two things, paying with stablecoin and putting the money in escrow (or just give it to manager) for the next one month or something like that really means a big deal. I am not saying that it will always be like that, but at the end of the day we are talking about something that is very professional and those ones will get the most application.

When you have that many application then you end up picking the best out of the best since you are capable of doing that. I have seen a few and even the biggest names of this forum applied for it, hence why they have such high standards since they can still get them.
1356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 15, 2022, 08:42:59 PM
The goal of teams like Venezia is to draw matches while playing defensively. So it becomes difficult to win against such a team. They have to break their defense by attacking a lot of such teams. Lazio didn't attack too much. Just did an on target shot. Yet they have been able to win. They could not have won the match without the penalty.
When you are not a great team that could have a great chance to win, all you can do is go back to defense, close it up, and hope that the other team doesn't score and in that case there is a chance that you could find a goal in counter attack with one mistake. It happens more frequently than ever, I feel like Mourinho mastered that back in the day. Dude literally won cups and UCL and so forth with that tactic before he went to Madrid.

I still can't believe that he fell as low as Roma, I am sorry and I know Roma fans must feel bad about this, but when you are managing a team to win UCL and then barely failing to keep at conference cup, that's a fall.
1357  Economy / Speculation / Re: The good moves of Bitcoin. on: March 15, 2022, 09:25:25 AM
There is this two sided road when you are trading bitcoin. You either have to deal with the fact that it is going to be more about emotions of the people who buy and sell at that moment alone, not in a general sense but just for that period, or you have to deal with the data that you are given.

So, you could check the analysis, the charts and indicators to see what it "should" do and make a decision based on that. Or you could end up with seeing what everyone thinks and do your trading based on that. Both could be right at given time, one could be wrong while the other is right, or both could be wrong at the same time as well. All possibilities happened before.
I would guess that data also does provide what people think as well. I mean if there are no regulations on what we can buy or can't buy (which there isn't) then if we feel that it will go down more, then we sell, if we feel like it will go up more than we will buy which will impact the price right?

It means that if it is impacting the price that way, then why should we be worried that charts won't show that? Charts will show when the people had panic, and when they were hyped. This is just one way to look at the charts of course, it is not going to be like that forever but at the end, we are going to see that happen for sure.

Maybe Manchester United have won the match. But Pogba or Rashford's performance in this match was not good without Ronaldo. If Manchester United want to qualify for the Champions League, then every player in the forward has to play well. Relying on Ronaldo alone will not bring continuity to the team. Still in the top 4 of the table, United are completely uncertain.
I would guess that Ronaldo is the type of player you could build your strategy around and even at his age he still manages to score a lot of goals and get points for his teams. However, I believe that United is not ready for that since they played without Ronaldo under Ole's many years so the team is not really capable of converting their years of experience into "give the ball to Ronaldo" system neither.

So, when they play like they want to play as they used to play, it makes things a bit harder, and when they play according to Ronaldo then he would have to carry them as well. It is really hard to put Ronaldo into any team, it is really difficult.

Daniel Ricciardo is positive to COVID.
If he can't recover Oscar Piastri will be probably his substitute for the race, borrowed from ALPINE.

He is an elite driver.
I think it's unlikely that Ricciardo won't recover until the new season, though it would be interesting to see Piastri. It's a bit shity situation to get Covid and miss tests with completely new car, but still, it's probably better than getting Covid during the season and miss race because of it.
I would guess that the "never get it" option would be even better Cheesy Obviously big get well soon to Danny and hopefully he gets better until the new season starts. We saw what we can see from the cars already and from here on out I believe that it is all about just getting a bit more racing done.

Lando got in a lot of racing thanks to being out there all day. They had to keep getting the car in and out all the time and that is of course not great for getting used to the car but I also believe that the reason why they did that was the fact that they had a lot of testing for Bahrain as well, so they micro managed the car and made it as perfect as it could be probably.

if you are a F2P player you should know that devs of the games trying to make profit so without these P2W games their projects won't last long. And also, loot boxes, gatcha roll, and other advantage of the games that can only be purchased though you can take it if you are a F2P player but there's a requirement before you get it that's why buying or paying it is an advantage to most players.

I rarely see an NFT games that focused more on the game than making a game for quick profit just because of the hype. They aren't planning their game to last long I guess but some of them managed to run long like Axie.
That's kinda the whole point of the entire discussion I started, that there really is no NFT game that focuss on the game. Everyone's jumping on for the hype and because devs think they can make quick money like everyone else. Why else are NFT games coming up in weeks, if not days, and from projects who used to be nothing to do with games?

This is just ICO projects all over again. Axie runs long because it's the first mover that's all it is really.
The even bigger problem is that most of them focus on the part where people could make money by playing the game, but there is zero places that makes the games fun just to play. Like how many people would have really played axie infinity if there was no option to make money from it? At one point, people made like 20 bucks per day from it, that is 600 bucks per month and that is a lot of money for most people in the entire world. Sure, it is not big for people with jobs in big nations, but rest of the world really made as much money from it as possible.

But, it all depended on the game to keep growing and the more it grew the less need for SLP was there. All in all games itself is not entertaining and thats the biggest problem.
