1361  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you think about Bitcoin? on: March 14, 2022, 06:32:16 AM
The thing that I feel after knowing bitcoin for almost 10 years is the ease of transactions, although now the payment system is getting easier but to send money to other countries in small amounts, bitcoin is the best solution because the transaction fees are cheaper and of course the transaction speed is better than fiat. and another reason nowadays is because of the ever-increasing value that keeping bitcoins for long term investment is very profitable.
Bitcoin itself may not be the "easy payment" anymore like it used to be. We are paying a good amount of money for the transaction nowadays and even during that, it may take up to hours for that to happen. So, you can't just order a coffee with bitcoin anymore, it takes a lot more than that just to pay the transaction itself.

However, there are other cryptos that can still do that, which is awesome and that is why I believe that crypto is still a much better version of cash. Debit cards, credit cards, cash all of them are old methods and crypto is much better right now. However, bitcoin itself is great as well if you are sending money to another nation, still cheaper and still faster for sure.

We have heard all the news about countries deciding to make bitcoin as legal, the latest being Russia and Ukraine as they both are also in some political problem. Obviously with this new statement that has been made on bitcoin status in those countries, it could be regulated by the government.
What is your expectation of bitcoin ?
what expectation are you referring here mate? if you are asking about what would be the movement of Bitcoin price? then you can clearly see it now because of these 2 countries under War then the price of bitcoin is refraining from growing.
meaning the expectation of growing is not in the line today.

and about Ukraine and Russia considering the adoption of Bitcoin? lets not take this into consideration now and in the next following years .
I would guess that expectation of where Bitcoin will stand in the legal parts of the world. This doesn't mean that every nation needs to make it a legal tender like El Salvador makes it. But, even laws could be seen as bigger or better or worse. So, do you expect it to be better and doing great with laws, like supportive laws such as in Miami or in Texas? Or do you expect it to be more like china where it is banned and you are having trouble.

I personally believe that we should be expecting a good drop in the bad approach for the near future because most nations saw the benefit of it with the war, and there will be a lot more supportive laws from more nations.

After a great defense against Barcelona, Galatasaray must be in a better condition now. They can believe in themselves more to eliminate Barcelona too. Because even though there was a huge quality difference, Galatasaray still kept the score as 0-0 until the final moment in Camp Nou. But still, I remember the matchup between Barcelona and Napoli also. Napoli did the same in Camp Nou but Barcelona destroyed them by 4-2 in Italy. And Napoli are a much stronger team than Galatasaray. If we take this into account, Galatasaray could experience really bad things in the rematch.
I do not think that having a home game matters when the difference is this big. I mean sure the first game was a tie but that says more about Barcelona then what it says about Galatasaray to be fair. Barcelona just had a terrible outing and I am sure that they will do or at least try to do a lot better next time around.

If Galatasaray lays back again, this time Barcelona will be ready for it and that is why I believe that there is going to be very different and the result will be a bit more dominating. Plus if Barcelona scores even just one goal, GS has to start being a bit more attacking to get a tie and that could open up so much more potential for Barcelona.
1364  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 14, 2022, 03:49:16 AM
I think the competition between Inter and Milan is very tight, only a few points difference, just one loss has an immediate impact on their standings. The rivalry between these two teams will continue until the last game of the season. But inter is a little more fortunate because inter still has 2 games left if inter can win all these games means inter immediately take the top of the Italian league standings.
With Milan getting on a good momentum, it is clear that they want it a lot. But Inter has been doing well so far even while playing in UCL as well, now that they are out of UCL, it must be getting better. I do not know about the short term, but without all those games on their calendar anymore, I am sure that they will have a good momentum in the future as well before the season is over.

Let's see how it goes because we do not have too many games left, but enough games to make a change as well. If Inter could get on a winning streak, and have like 5 game winning streak soon, that is going to decide on the winner of the season for sure.

it's not very often that Bayern Munich is the team that destroys one of my tickets

Can i join the Bayern Munich poop party? Grin  Look at this lovely 7-multi (11.83 odds) that has been ruined by them, ahhh! I had my Serie A and EPL fixtures down pat, only for them to rip my ticket to shreds. I knew the odds were too good to be true though (1.57/8). It's now two straight draws and three matches in which they haven't scored more than one goal in the Bundesliga, not very like Bayern....especially since we all saw what they did in the midweek ECL fixture against Salzburg.

Bayern had 3 goals disallowed for offside, they were offsides but still....

Yay...did not watch the game, but good to hear, that makes me feel a lot better.  Grin Lips sealed
Oh me me! I am next! Cheesy I wagered on 8 games yesterday, yes an 8 game parlay, all has to win, just a huge ticket for me because I rarely do that, I usually go for a single or at most like 3-4 games. I wanted to have fun. One of the games was Barcelona - Ossasuna so I don't know. However, all the other 6 won. LFC, Kasımpasa, Altay, Trabzonspor, Juventus, Milan. I won them ALL and yet at the end of the day I ended up losing on Bayern.

I really can't believe that I managed to get all the others and somehow Bayern was the one that ended up causing me to lose my bet. It was like x20 or something to win something like that and I ended up losing BECAUSE OF BAYERN, that is very shocking. I would have been fine with any other team but Bayern really deeply hurts.

The point is, Lakers should not be carry by anyone, by a single one, by a veteran.

It's not just about Russel Westbrook that always a bad night but he and Lebron is not the only players in the Lakers that needs to step up. Anthony Davis is nowhere to be expected too to give Lakers a boost since already injury-proned even at young age.

Lebron's other teammates should also do their best. If someone is having a worst night, they should try to cover it.
To be fair, they paid so much to get Westbrook that they do not have any players left that could help them out. I mean if they kept last years roster, and added like Rondo and Melo to that (maybe get rid of dennis if you have to) then they would have been much better. That would have allowed them to have rondo, kuzma, caruso, melo, kcp and that is much better than having just westbrook. Don't get me wrong, I am not one of those people that hate westbrook, and this is not about how much he really costs.

It is about the fact that 5 or so great players, turned into one superstar and 4 horrible players for Lakers. Even if westbrook was great, that means whenever he is out, there are 4 players missing from the team. I would assume that if they didn't do that, and did what I said, then they could have been a lot better with this roster since they wouldn't have to be carried at least.

The aftermath of Joe Biden's economic policies and his massive $1.9 trillion emergency plan have boosted consumer and business demand, despite the pandemic. Smiley Solving the problem can only depend on measures that are beyond the control of USA policymakers, such as ending the crisis in Ukraine or finding a way to immediately increase oil supplies both of which are measures that are difficult to implement and successful. And of course, China loves that. Smiley
There was about 4 trillion dollars worth of money printing during the last 2 years or so. One came under Trump and one came from Biden. This is not "he is better he is better" thing, it is obvious that both of them did the same thing.

Biden did even less than what he promised, he promised 2k for everyone and instead gave 800 to combine with 1.2k given during Trump time for second time to make it 2k. So, that's like 1.2k missing from his point and that would have been at least another trillion added (along with other things given along with 1.2k to everyone). This is why I do not believe that either did a good job, and they both sucked big time.
1368  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stay away from crypto influencers on: March 12, 2022, 06:25:06 PM
The average bounty has a youtube video campaign and almost all youtube video campaigns have participants participating. So they work on promoting the project in the hope of getting paid after the program ends.
There are also those who make youtube videos with content discussing procedures for finding good crypto projects with the aim of getting paid from the audience.
Do your research so you don't get stuck with them.
though content creation bounties are no longer popular especially here in forum, some influencers with most views and followers are mostly contacted by the team or what they call now collaboration wherein they will be paid depending on the contract some offers token and some content creator directly contact the team in exchange with tokens it will depend now to the team if they will do the collaboration with them.
Partnership with those influencers do not even cost that much. You can get a lot of them for just 100-200 dollars, and even the most expensive ones charge like 5k, which for a company at a huge size that require something like that would be able to pay anyway. If you have an NFT that you are selling for 1 sol each at 10k collection, you are making like 1 million dollars, so 5k is not big.

At the end of the day, why pay thousands of people who people will ignore and devalue your project, when you can pay some influencers very small amount and get a lot more attention? As a marketing person I can tell you that influencers should not be listened by investors, but they do.

Real Madrid winning PSG is something I never dreamt of.I don't know how they did it,but I was not expecting it at all,and this result now shows how inform Real Madrid is.
Karim Benzema is really a beast infront of goal,the goals he score were really superb,it showed how good he is,and when you have this kind of strikers in a team,you have everything.A striker that can single-handedly  give you a win.Strikers like him are very few and are hard to see.But when you have one,you are ok.
After the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid, it was Karim Benzema who seemed to replace him in this team. I don't mean to compare Ronaldo and Benzema. But that's what I see, when Ronaldo was still here, Benzema seemed to get less exposure because most people were focused on Ronaldo. Yes now he got a position he didn't get before.
In the sense of "creating something out of nothing" Benzema definitely did become a very good example for the team. Ronaldo used to be like that, even if he stayed, Ronaldo is not that player anymore, Messi is not either. Benzema is living probably last few years of his great performance before his body starts to age as well.

I believe that Benzema did replace Ronaldo in that sense, nothing like position or talent or anything like that, just the fact that he suddenly appears, does something you do not expect, and gets them a win. Which is why he is still quite dangerous and you are always at a risk of losing to Madrid because he could take a rabbit out of the hat.

Dune's budget has been 165 million dollars which sound a lot at first, but in reality it's not even among top 100 most expensive movies

We have come a long way in budgets, I remember Titanic was gigantically expensive at 200m.    That was a while ago so money isnt what it once was, I guess 165 is medium now.   I always look at the ratio of the rough return they got, this doesn't exclude extra such as franchise rights for models/toys possibly etc. which can be massive.


Marvel did change the rankings a bit with their highly unusual costs. I mean surely they did make movies that we all went and see (not you exactly, but in general when you look at the box office returns) and they made that money 10x more than normal. It is a wonderful business when you know that you are going to spend a lot of money, do something artistic that you wanted to do since you were a little kid, and then end up 10x your money along the way.

We are going crazy to make 10x in crypto to begin with, so doing that with a movie and at that scale must be amazing. However, the reality is that 165 is still not "small", it may not be at the top, but removing all the big name series like marvel or lotr would make dune one of the biggest ones still.

while Barcelona are still  have financial problems, so their can only hope for free players.
It's never been a problem as long as they play as expected. It's useless to bring in many top players but in the end they fail too.
Barcelona's management policy in the January a transfer market was very precise, they managed to bring in top players on a free transfer. The financial constraints experienced by Barcelona made them have to look at free transfer players to build a team, the results can be seen with victory after victory that Barcelona got until they were in 3rd position in the standings.
It must be admitted that Barcelona is experiencing financial difficulties, they have also proven to the public that even though they are hit by a financial crisis they can still bring in several players to strengthen the club.
It wasn't even just about getting top level players, it was also about getting players to the positions they really needed. Traore really opened up the sides a lot, he also gave them the freedom to test out Dembele differently as well. Which resulted with them having two amazingly talented players on both sides all ready, they already had Depay, so whenever they wanted speed, they could always do that with these three.

And De Jong proved that he wasn't cut to be a leader type of player, or a star, so they got Torres instead, and now they play interchangbly as well and at the striker they needed more goals since Suarez left and Aubameyang provides that for them. So, it is not just about the talent level of the players they got, but how amazingly they fit the roles as well.
1372  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you regret when you miss selling at ATH followed by a correction on: March 11, 2022, 07:21:40 PM
Not all opportunities we can enjoy, including in choosing a coin for us to invest in, because there are so many altcoins present that we find it difficult to find coins that can reach ATH and only a few potential altcoins that we always monitor and that's where sometimes we can make a profit, and when the market situation is declining as it is today then this is our opportunity to choose a coin for us to invest in the future.
Try to look at the market now very carefully where Bitcoin itself is also pumping again after the correction, meaning that the current market conditions are really not on a stable path so that it still makes some people confused about which coin to choose even though they already know the coins potential in the market, but there are still a few doubts when choosing one now.
The volatility is mainly caused by the indecisive situation of the market right now. We do not know what stage of crypto we are in right now, is there a good enough situation to go up, or is there a bad thing that should go down, I don't know and mainly the people in the market do not know either.

This is why it always ends up with the current situation where the price goes down one day, and goes up another day, since we have no clue. The moment it becomes clear, the moment it is something that is a bit more understandable, you will get to see a bit more of the clear direction of where it will go, maybe down or maybe up but it will be a bit more obvious.
1373  Economy / Speculation / Re: Need more more to invest on crypto. on: March 11, 2022, 06:45:41 PM
To get a big profit from crypto investment, the most important thing is to dare to take decisions that may seem unpopular at the moment, most successful people don't care about what other people say and focus on their goals so that with clear focus and goals, we can get big profits.
So what goals will that be? take profit early or buy in dip and hold?

Maybe these 2 strategies are effective, but no that make things complicated, it's better to buy in the dip and hold at least this is the case for me. I don't have anything with short term traders, they know the risk and willing to gamble with it. But there could be traders that doesn't want  to mix up, so they will simply HODL until such time that they think that will have to profits.
That is not the goal, that is the method, the goal is to make money for everyone. If you are making a profit, and you end up with more money then you reached the goal of everyone here. If you are making a mistake and not really making a profit then you are getting further away from the goal itself. So all in all, it is about reaching to the top and that is how you reach your goal.

This means that you could take early profits, or you could buy the dip or hold, or you could do leverage, or you could do swing. It doesn't matter what you do, you should do what you are good at and what you are comfortable with, but you should always end up happy in the end. Otherwise it makes no sense.

Playing at the Allianz Stadium gave a morale boost to Juventus players, thus making bets more in a favor of Juventus. Villarreal also don't want to give up in this match, they will try to pressure Juventus so they can accompany Real Madrid, who qualified first to the quarter-finals. Juventus and Villarreal still have a chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals, because in the Leg 1 meeting they were drawn and there are still 90 minutes to prove who is the best between these two teams.
I am certain that playing at home will have some benefits, plus Villareal is definitely a team that should not be toyed with, they were europa champions last year and in last 16 at champions league this year which all shows how great they are already. However, that doesn't make Villareal as the favourites here neither, we are talking about a team situation where Juventus is getting a bit better after Ronaldo left.

It took them a while to be good again, they couldn't find how to operate better because they were used to playing one way and now needed to change that way. But, it looks like they are actually doing alright now and the results are showing lately.
1375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: March 10, 2022, 09:31:20 PM
The first match of week 28 of La Liga is Atletico Madrid vs Cadiz. Focusing on Atletico, they I think are chasing second place or at least they are chasing third at the end of the competition. They are now level on points with Barcelona and are only 7 points behind second-placed Sevilla. The distance of 7 points is quite close to Sevilla's appearance, which is now slightly declining. Yes they only won 2 games out of 5 matches they played.
It is no longer about chasing second or third position, their main task is just to maintain a stronger position because if they lose the match, it is very likely that they will be overtaken again by the team below them. So in a case like that they just need to get stronger in the top four, if in the end they can finish higher then that's a bonus for them.
That type of approach is lacking in most fans and most clubs as well. They pick a position they could or at least they may reach and they fight for that and whenever they get it, they start to be a little bit worse. The reality is that, if you play every single game as a must win, and if you keep caring about the results, then you become like Bayern Munich. They could be 20+ points ahead of everyone else on the very last game and be beating a team 11-0 and would still fight hard to score that 12th game.

If you do not play football like that, then you are not going to be dominating the league and at any moment there could be someone working harder than you and beat you to the position you want.

snipped
That is why I'm saying we have "not to invest" if we are not sure.

Considering the situation that the majority of these projects ended up scamming, the more we be careful choosing on them.  And rightly choosing an investment will give us profit after but if we fall into scam project, I don't wonder why hearing people blaming the market but I think it was wrong, we instead blame ourselves.

Well, just to hope all of them will become transparent in order for us to know who is legit and who is not. But I think not all of them will do the favor and not even the guarantee to say they are not scam.
You can also always end up waiting and getting in a bit later? Most projects that are scam end up showing their true colors in the first 6 months, which is not too bad for most projects to get into. So, if you wait for 6 months on a new project, it turns out to be not a scam, and you want to invest, you could always end up investing into it. Doesn't mean that it will work out, it could always fail, but after 6 months and if it looks legit, I do not think that there are many that will turn out to be scam after that much time.

It means that we are talking about something that will be a bit more profitable. Plus, projects still could go up a lot after the first 6 months, look at the increases after the first 6 months on most projects and they are all still very profitable.

Let the whales do their thing for awhile, I am pretty sure that they're going to want the prices jacked up eventually, you can't just go dumping forever, I am pretty sure that we will be able to reach that price, remember that there's still a lot of time and if you're in it for the long-term, you can just always buy more while waiting for that target price to show up.
Whales will be always there to take advantage of the situation and this kind of thing is their living material .

they even make fool of many so they can take their chances in .
Unfortunately whales do not even just fake people out of movements, they also have the money so sometimes they force their way into it. If people are selling because something is going on in the world, they can cover all of that and keep the price above 40k with all their money, so people will see that as a good sign and buy, and then whales could dump it on them. That is only doable with the money they have, it is not just about being smart or anything like that, it is about having money.

Retail investors like you and me do not have that communication. We can't just get together and say "lets buy bitcoin all at once", it won't work, but when you have just 10-50 number of people and do it together, it could work very well.

Ignoring the news angle, since start of FEB we have ascended slightly not in the highest prices which continually reset but the lows have improved since that time.   On balance BTC has been in a sideways range for over a month , it cant especially be called as negative trending as we have not maintained downwards especially though we have also failed to move upwards also.


That up and down and up and down keeps worrying people. I mean if it was only down, people would call it a bear market and move on, the ones that want to buy at cheap prices would, and the ones that want to sell because they are in panic mode would. However, it is neither in bull nor bear market right now. We see that we go over 40k plenty of times, just 3 times on your chart, and we saw it go under 40k many times as well, 2 times on your chart, and once right now so three times for that as well.

When things are that complicated, and the direction is not known, people end up scared even more. Scared may not be the right word for it, but everyone is definitely confused, that much is known.
1379  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 09, 2022, 09:34:01 PM
Dortmund don't have stable form like Bayern and they have more bad matches than Bayern so in general, during a whole long season, they lose more points than Bayern. In return, they have less total points than Bayern and fail to get Bundesliga title. It usually happens in many seasons not only for Dortmund but also for other competitors in Bundesliga.

Bayern have history, domination, better player resource and more important, better belief in themselves. Because they have support from history, from previous seasons, their players begin match with a strong belief that they can win it and in the end of season, will win Bundesliga. Other clubs and their players can begin a season like this but after some bad results, they lose their belief which in turn will drag their performance down.
Bayern also has an attraction, which is being Bayern. Leipzig does good last year? They get their manager and their great player, Dortmund does good this year, they will be getting another player from them. Whenever there are good players in Bundesliga, they will offer a good amount for that player, and even staff or manager or just a scout. They use Bundesliga like their youth setup basically.

All of those great players in Bayern usually comes from another Bundesliga team, not all 100% like that, but most do. And that is the difference, they can dominate because they can pick and transfer the best players out of their competition and put them on their own roster.

The market is following the current trend, which is the impact of the war in ukraine and russia the market is very difficult to predict sometimes it looks like it jumps all the way up and suddenly drops so deep, situations like this make me pull over and wait for the bears, to take the opportunity to buy and hold
People who make the most money are the people who get in during the worst times. War could be the main reason why we are lower right now, but that doesn't change the fact that we can't make a profit from it. The prices are down because the world is going through a rough period and that is sad for humanity. However, if you only care about money then this is a great period and you should be happy about it.

I personally feel like there are so many chances you could make money right now. Buy, into dozens of good projects that are working very hard to make some money and in the end I am pretty sure that a year later the war will not be around and during a bull market all the things I bought today, will make me richer.
