If you watched the final match in full then I think you should understand why there is so much hype about Mbappe. He played very well in the entire World Cup. France's performance in the first half of the final was very poor. Mbappe's superb performance in the second half saw France back on track. While players like Giroud, Griezmann and Dembele did not perform well, Mbappe attacked a lot. This is why there is so much hype about Mbappe.
Mbappe was carrying the club. That's they reason he has been getting so many attentions from various media and clubs. Mbappe was also act like a captain for the club while Lloris was the captain of france national club but mbappe has been boosting the performance from the team. Since france was losing 2-0 and most of players in france lose their mentality but mbappe has been trying to bring back their mentality after making the first goal. Adding the second goal was also boosting the mentality from whole of france players again. Mbappe has been playing so much for the club. That's why he was getting a lot of attentions. I will not be surprised that real madrid become more interested with him after world cup. In the first half I was so much upset because it was not looking like finals when France conceived two goals in the first half. ThankGod for France coach who saw that many things were wrong when he removed Giroud and Dembele and brought in Coleman to change the game. It was when this men entered and was able to send ball across to Mbappe that Mbappe started making those his dangerous runs. I knew if Benzema was there, France would have been double champions. |

Bayern Munich are desperately in need of a goal keeper to replace Neuer who is aged and also injured. Neuer is getting close to finishing his contract at Bayern with no further plans of renewing so Bayern are desperately in need of a suitable replacement, someone that can fit in the boots of the departing Neuer. I can't say if Aston Villa will be willing to let Emiliano Martinez leave especially not in the middle of the season, probably a big money offer could do the trick.
Bayern have been preparing Ulreich for many years, perhaps this is his chance to become the team's main goalkeeper. He periodically played for Bayern, but this was not enough to prove himself, now he will have a chance to show all his abilities, if he succeeds, he will become the main goalkeeper, if not, then it’s good that it will be found out now. Neuer hasn't been the most reliable goalkeeper lately, he conceded a lot and Bayern would do well to find someone like Oliver Kahn. Finding a suitable replacement for Manuel Neuer will not be easy for Bayern Munich. Neuer was a very experienced and talented goalkeeper. He is a first-rate goalkeeper. Bayern Munich management is considering Sven Ukreich as Neuer's replacement. I wouldn't say that Ukreich is a bad goalkeeper. But he is not as talented as Neuer. However, if Ukrech gets enough opportunities, he may be able to prove himself. Bayern Munich will have a big problem in the goal post. They are so used to Neuer in the goal post, so any other person that stands on the post would be measured with the criteria of Manuel Neuer which will be bad. The best thing for them to do is to realise that another goalkeeper will not be like Neuer. So they should manage the person till the person grows in experience like Neuer. |

Why not take a little pinch out of our bitcoin stash this Holiday and make it a special one even if the market is worst or the financial landscape around the world is at chaos. At least you got the money to enjoy with the families and bring food in the table for them.
Others might have different perspective though, they don't want to touch their bitcoin and will rather have this so called "delayed gratification".
So to each its own I guess, "Different strokes for different folks".
Same with my thoughts and what I have done. No one knows tomorrow and even no one knows where the economy is heading to. Christmas in my country try Nigeria is a period when people show love buying gifts for friends, families and relatives. It is a period when people that travelled for greener pasture comes back to dine with family. Selling some portions of bitcoin to enjoy this special season is not a bad idea. If you keep saving your bitcoin when exactly will you use it? That is not how Satoshi asked us to use bitcoin. |

Despite what they say about bitcoin, I still think of bitcoin as an investment asset and nothing more. Bitcoin is not a religion, I believe in its potential as a profitable investment asset due to price volatility and rightfully so.
Bitcoin is bitcoin, not a religion and people can easily believe in it more than anything else but should not think that bitcoin is a religion. A person may pray based on their own faith and religion for bitcoin to benefit them, but that still won't change bitcoin's position as an investment asset or currency into something like a religion.
I think what the OP means is that when things are believed more than it should be, it is now a religion. Most people believe that it is a crime not to hodl Bitcoin. Some people believe that it is a crime to buy any other coins apart from bitcoin. People should just see bitcoin for what is it and don't try to be extremist in bitcoin activities because bitcoin is not a religion. |

We have just a few days to Christmas, so I guess now, it's Okey if we start wishing everyone a happy Christmas in advance.
Don't sell your Bitcoin to buy stuffs that will perish few days or weeks after Christmas.
Why then lose your Bitcoin for items that perishes in such a short time?
To some people this is a good advice but to some people this is not the best advise. There are people who bought bitcoin for long so that it will appreciate by Christmas to give them money to spend. To those people they don't your advice. Money is made to be spent, if they want to spend it they shouldn't be restricted. I have sold much myself to send to family and friends so that they will look good and eat good foods. This is a period of merriment. |

In fact, I don't see any difference for myself in which way the work will be paid, if it can easily be converted into fiat without significant loss of funds for commission services. So there are no problems for those who want to spend part of their salary to buy bitcoins.
I don't think it is necessary or a must to be paid with bitcoin. There are so many other requests you could tender to your boss apart from saying he should pay you in bitcoin. You said you created account for your boss, do you mean an account in exchanges? If yes you thought him the wrong way. Tbh, I don't see a boss who values his time that will go through a rigorous process to pay you when there is an option of fiat. |

Some of your points are not completely correct, others are not well portrayed. If you are speaking about avoiding losses in crypto and you fail to add the aspect of personal security, the job is not complete. Avoiding losses of your crypto, also entails developing a consciousness that as you can face losses online, you can also face losses from offline elements. You must try to identify and avoid anything that can lead to loss of your crypto physically. Be careful with people you tell about your crypto investments, and be careful with the device that you store your crypto in. That is a very good point mate. When I was introduced newly to Bitcoin my greatest fear was when I was told that if your bitcoin lost no one will be accountable for it. It is your personal duty to protect your coin. Even when they told me the about of bitcoin that has lost forever and cannot be recovered, I was afraid. I was also told to be careful when making transactions so that I will not send to a wrong account that no one will refund me. But this days people are not very conscious about these rules. |

It is not the centralized solutions according to you that makes people think btc is for investment.
It is how bitcoin was designed to be volatile that makes it an investment assets.
If volatility is no longer in bitcoin, ie bitcoin behaves like a stable coin, people will start using it as a currency because it will not rise in the future, needless of keeping it.

Even though I am not an early adopter of bitcoin, I still have some shares in bitcoin. I buy bitcoin not to sell at anytime. If I am financially buoyant, I will not think of selling my bitcoin for any reason.
Apart from that, I do not intend to hold bitcoin till infinity. The bitcoin I own now is patiently waiting for the next halving bull run. If the bull happens and get a new ATH, I will sell. But if the bull fails, I will be very sceptical about bitcoin

Argentina is performing very well at the moment. Two goals hit France's goalposts to tell history how Argentina is perfect for winning the World Cup 2022 dream trophy in Qatar. France can never afford a goal. Because so far Argentina has been on a massive offensive. And Argentina is going to succeed by winning the hearts of all fans of history and galleries.  In this finals Argentina has played more than France and I know they deserve the winning, even if I do not fully agree with the penalty kick but France was not prepared for this finals. If they will try and get one goal before 80 minutes this game will change and look like finals. They are not putting Mbappe in football. EDIT: Kylian Mbappe has scored brace within 5mins and the game has chnage. It is now 2:2 and the world cup has started now. |

David de Gea will be the player who possibly will leave this summer this because Manchester United have a plan not to extended his contract but actually Ten Hag was satisfied with De Gea performance and the management should give him contract extension but rumours said why Manchester United aren't willing to extended his contract because De Gea as one of the player with the highest salary in this team and he is now 32 years old however actually De Gea still happy in Manchester United and he will waiting the solution of this issue and he said cut off salary on his new contract will be fine because he want to stay at this team
MU was willing to give him a new contract but that was a short term contract. De gea has not yet decided whether he wanna try to accept the new contract or not. I hope that de gea can leave from MU to get a better team than it. Manchester united itself may try to find a new goal keeper There are some MU that may leave from the club in january. Let's see how these players will be determining their futures. Im sure that one or two from them may accept the short term contract but that's has not yet decided by them. If Manchester United wants to give De Gea contract he will gladly accept because he is getting old and I read news somewhere that he is having some eye problems that was why Manchester United had to sign another goal keeper. I know that Manchester United has a goal keeper in loan in one of the English clubs and he may likely come back after this season. If Manchester United will give him contract it will, it will not be more than 2yrs. |

 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604498679234273286?t=pJtzCDH0L4CYtibpoIwdUg&s=19Incredibly, Argentina are about to win the FIFA World Cup after 36 years. This World Cup will be memorable for Messi because this World Cup may be the last World Cup for Messi. Best wishes to Messi in today's game on his way to win the World Cup. You Lionel Messi will be in the hearts of billions of fans. Elon Musk has already congratulated Argentina for scoring two incredible goals today. The Argentine hailed the goal from his official Twitter page. Argentina us more organised in this world cup than France. I didn't expect France to be so poor in the finals. There was no force from France attack. Mbappe, Girond and Dembele was totaly not in the match. No single attack from them. It is a very disappointing. It is good that the coach has made double changes and I belive this second half will be more interesting. |

If there is really an offer by Newcastle to Ronaldo then I think Ronaldo should absolutely accept it. I mean he should do this if he still wants to play European football. Of course I know that his priority is to play in the Champions League. However there is nothing to do about this as long as he doesn't get any offer from such team. We don't see any team like that being eager to sign a contract with him for now. Even Sporting refuted the speculations about them to be interested in Ronaldo. Besides we might see Newcastle in the Champions League in the near future as well. They have done a great work so far.
Ronaldo has a great offer on the table on one hand of course. I don't think Al-Nassr would give up on him easily. They are ready to pay whatever amount of money they need to convince him now. Ronaldo must also be aware of this as he is stalling them for now.
Ronaldo might not be fortunate enough to find a club in England that will sign him especially after having a fight with Manchester United recently.Newcastle have the money to sign and keep him at the club,but I don't think they will like to sign him,but if they are able to,he will definitely be a major addition to the squad. Newcastle are actually in a very good form at the moment,and I hope they will still add more players to the squad they have currently if they want to retain the position they are on the league table.They are currently sitting third on the table,and will be hoping to be in the top four spot to qualify for champions league next season. Ronaldo has had many problems this season right from his former club Manchester United to the interview that he granted. Among all the problems he went to world cup to vindicate himself but it was very unfortunate that he had more problems. He was being benched and later they were eliminated by Morocco. So Ronaldo has not actually done anything in the world cup to prove Erik Ten Hag wrong. The Purpose of any club signing Ronaldo will be for business and not for him to play as the Ronaldo we use to know. |

Use dollar for example. |

I've spent some good quality time on here in the forum and I've realized it's factor not feelings.
Most of the activities based here are facts not feelings and there were times I wrote on topics and deep down my heart, I was expecting some real much accolades but ended up with nothing but lots of criticism, at some points I was letting my feelings decide for me but I stopped and started facing reality and then I realized life in general is about facts and not feelings.
The knowledge in this forum comes in stage by stage. When you can here newly, you thought it was about feelings but later on you realized that it is about facts. There is still more to learn and at another stage you will understand that it is neither feelings or facts, it is being your real self. Whether you are having feelings or you are rendering facts, you do it as your real self without fear. Then you will appreciate the blessings that comes with being able to do anything (possibly right things) without fear of intimidation or what people will say. |

Maybe for this season Klopp has raised the white flag to chase the top position. Currently the Reds are quite far from the top of the standings. In my opinion, the most realistic thing for Liverpool is to improve their playing system which had fallen down and then chase the top four positions. The season is still very long, in the second half there will be many changes to the standings table.
Giving up before the season ends is actually not very good for anyone, including Liverpool this season. Because Liverpool need to try with various systems and strategies to get a better position, even though it looks very unlikely to win the first position, but for the top three and top four positions as you said I think it is still very possible for Liverpool to achieve it. It's just that this season there are more strong teams in the top three and four areas of the temporary standings so this is a little tougher for Liverpool. Liverpool cannot win the English Premier League title and they are fully aware of it trying to chase the Premier League title is like one chasing his shadow. However they do have large chances to make the top four as the only strong spots that have been occupied in the top four are Arsenal and Manchester City. Every other position in the top four is contestable, that is to say Liverpool has a great chance to enter into the top four if they try to be consistent with good results. |

Many people want Messi to win the World Cup, but only Ronaldo's fans oppose him because of the dispute between them and Messi supporters.
Messi has represented his team very well throughout his career, and because this is his last World Cup due to his age, and I believe he will soon announce his retirement from the National team, I wanted him to win because he deserved to win.
Messi deserves to win this World Cup, he is a phenomenon and I think he has proved it several times, but not only is he also very humble compared to Ronaldo and other more popular footballers. Mbappe is still young and can still compete for a world cup. I think this is Messi's year and I really hope he succeeds. Football is not about personal life, you don't because you think that one person is humble and the other arrogant and you would want the humble one to win the World Cup. It is football it is not humility ball. There are many lovers of Ronaldo and also there are many lovers of Messi, these two great players have dominated the world of football and have played to its apex. It will be fine that history has it that both Ronaldo and Messi were unable to win the World Cup |

Merit is needed for growth in this forum and it will not be a bad idea if people are making good efforts to grow. Everyone likes merit and merit is used for growth and is also used to know quality posts. Trying hard to make good post to get merits can also be a good way to push someone to be a good quality poster.
Where it will not be fine is if when posting to get merits, the person is not learning anything from the forum. That is the bad expect of everything. Everything should have a limit and rules and regulations should always been followed.

Leaving sentiments asides, will you advise someone to still buy some Bitcoins (Not up to the value of 1) if they have an amount of money that will be okay to purchase the equivalent of 1 of a good altcoin with a strong community? Is having some bitcoins (in decimals) more valuable still than having the value of one good altcoin?
It is always best to diversify. Putting your egg in one basket isn't and advice of a financial expert. So why limit ourselves to 1 option when an opportunity presents us with many others? We should take advantage of the opportunity because it sometimes knocks only once. Bitcoin is valuable but diversifying is as valuable. This may save us when things goes unfavorable with Bitcoin. We should always have a backup that is what everyone advises us. Your idea if diversification does not hold water in this very context. According to you, you said that is it good to diversify incase something happens to bitcoin you will not regret. Can you give me an example of what will happen to bitcoin that will not affect alcoins? Unless you are saying investments outside cryptocurrency in order to diversify. But if it is inside the cryptocurrency, if bitcoin bleeds, every other cryptocurrency will bleed more. Unless you want to involve in all these pump and dump schemes. |
