2 to 2 between Salernitata and Sassuolo, as always, like every day, great refereeing controversies over the use of VAR.

with the intrusion of VAR it was said that with VAR all refereeing problems would resolve themselves. I laugh.
VAR can reduce mistakes from human if human want to use VAR properly. If they don't want to use VAR properly, they will ignore things detected by VAR and we will have mistakes from referees and a lot of controversy.

Quote
Dramatic situation for Sassuolo who without their star player (berardi) seriously risks relegation after a decade in SerieA.

Selling players continuously just to raise cash leads to this situation.

Salernitana has practically already been relegated to Serie B.
Sassuolo in the last decade, is a most interesting average club in Serie A. They are a small club but they succeeded to grow up young players and they are like a giant-killer in Serie A in many seasons. They usually end in first half of Serie A and near to spots that can join leagues in Europe. This season, things become very bad for them and it is not quite right comparison but Sassuolo make me think of Sevilla in La Liga or Leicester City in Premier League two seasons ago.

Is this the wrong advice? A friend of mine took over his father's company because he is so old already and he told me about the money thats available doing nothing in the bank.

I told him to think about investing that money if he wants to keep the company growing, I told him about how MicroStrategy is doing so well using Bitcoin as a strong backbone of the company, I believe that even a small company can turn big if they use Bitcoin as their main investment.

Or am I wrong? I need to know if this advice is a good one or a bad one, I gave him this advice because we are very close and also because I will do the same thing if I am in his shoe, this is the best thing i can think of right now.
You are wrong.

Because to run the company, he will need money. MicroStrategy has deep pocket and they did not invest all money they have to bitcoins.

Your advise is wrong too that if your friend took over the company from his father, with a task to run it, he has to do that. If he wants to invest in Bitcoin, do it with his own money or with part of revenue from that company.

If your friend invests in bitcoins, but then change to trading and use leverages, he will destroy the company inherited from his dad.

Some people with considerable assets deliberately show off to the public and their friends, aiming for flexing, and that will make them interested in following suit.
It's quite dangerous because there will be many dangers lurking, but if the destination is not included with their main wallet address, it may still be safer.

The purpose of flexing is to increase followers and there will be many who follow some of the projects that are done, so it will also provide benefits.
If you know about risk, they will sit back, assess risk and benefit, and will less likely to flex.

Many people don't know about risk of flex that can cause to hacks, physical attacks, deaths and not limited to financial loss, so they do flex many times. Some people know about risk but they don't assess it at proper severe level so they consider it as tiny and inconsiderable risk and continue to flex.

If they learn lessons but don't pay for lessons with their all life, it is good enough but if it is death, that will be very costly lesson.

If they have 94000 coins and sell them it will be interesting to see how price goes.
Price will not pump to the Moon when they sell but we only can not know how many bitcoins they will sell and how deep Bitcoin will dive.

If we have money, wait for their sales and buy dips. It's simple.

If we don't have money, don't sell our bitcoins because the Moon is still months in future. Halving will help Bitcoin to touch its Moon in 2024 and 2025.

Tail OS is a good solution for people who have to use public computers and have to share computers with other people.

Years ago Chikito shared a guide on Install Tail OS too.
How to Install Tails OS on USB flash drive for Wallet Purpose.

Be careful for safety and security is better than cure so even with Tail OS, I recommend people should not connect their main wallets even with Tail OS at a public computer. They can do it with a wallet that is used to store small part of their bitcoins. If it is a wallet that stores main part of their bitcoins, they must be more careful and only do it at home, with their personal computer.

There was massive outflow of coins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT from the exchange and this signify that people withdraw their money from the exchange as soon as they heard the news. They fear kucoin exchange will be facing a lot of criticism from court hearing henceforth and it's possible for them not to travel to US anymore just to avoid the faith of CZ from happening to them.
These movements of cryptocurrencies from Kucoin customers out of Kucoin exchange are expected. They need to act fast to defend their own capital and avoid black swan event like FTX exchange.

It is too early to say what will continue with Kucoin, will the exchange go through this regulatory news and outflow wave well or will collapse. If they have good customer fund management, they will not have problems like FTX exchange and they will recover like Binance.

After some months, if Kucoin handle customer withdrawals well and regulatory issues well, customers will return to Kucoin like how they did with Binance.

I will speculate that there will be a general election in Mexico this coming June 2024, electing a new President and Vice-President. So most likely they want to attract Mexican to play in their platform.
The General Election in Mexico will be hosted in June this year.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Mexican_general_election

Poll Tracker: Mexico's 2024 Presidential Vote. The poll results show that Claudia Sheinbaum is a best candidate but survey poll result can be not correct. If it is near to the truth, the General Election isn't interesting as Sheibaum has very big differences against two other candidates but I know in politics, things can change very quickly.

Quote
Although Futuur has established their reputation here in the community and maybe there's a lot of us using their platform already since they started, I guess they still need to somewhat grow and compete against some of the best platform. So it's good that they accept deposits/withdrawals and maybe even after their general election most of them will stay in this platform and play with their local currencies.
They did not do marketing in the forum, stopped it years ago but about reputation, Futuur have good reputation in bitcointalk.

The competition becomes fierce for Bayer Leverkusen as they will try all their best to stay unbeaten till this very month, good work from Xabi Alonso, he's the pillar behind the outstanding performance of Bayer Leverkusen.
I really don't believe Xabi Alonso aims his team to be unbeaten in Bundesliga. Winning it is a big achievement for Leverkusen in Bundesliga already and Leverkusen have other priorities to do.

They need to reserve their players, avoid injuries, for as best squad as possible for matches in Europa League. They will not chase the unbeaten record in Bundesliga and risk their players with injuries. Having best players for very last matches in Europa League is better choice for Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen.

They will consider two scenarios: Winning only Bundesliga and lose in Europa League but get an unbeaten season in Bundesliga. Winning Bundesliga, lose some matches but go to Europa League final or even win Europa League title. I believe with assessment on two scenarios, they will aim at a second scenario and by this, they will rotate their players in last matches of Bundesliga.

Quote
Bayern Munich accepts their fate, they're totally out on the Bundesliga title this season but they still have huge tasks to accomplish and that's winning the UEFA Champions League title this season. At this point, Thomas Tuchel have shown his incompetent space and he will not be able to further his managerial role next season.
Bayern Munich can not do anything else to beat Leverkusen in Bundesliga so accept it or not, they can not change anything. They still have Champions League to play and meet Arsenal in quarter finals looks like good chance for them to go to semi finals.

Arsenal shown that they are strong in this season but in knock out matches, Bayern Munich can beat Arsenal and if they reach to semi finals, they can hope for a final match, then a title.

We practically can't. People failing at DCA as it is, they see it go down and instead of buying more they end up selling, hence makes it go down even more than that too, and it would not be something that could take a long time neither, should be alright. I believe that we need to learn to do DCA better and should be considering that as a normal thing as we can.
DCA is a famous investment strategy and it's more easily to talk about it than actually practice it with our money.

It's more easier to say that "I am planning to do DCA with Bitcoin" than actually spending money regularly to purchase Bitcoin. First barrier is our failure to assign our money for DCA. Second barrier is our failure to maintain our belief in Bitcoin and control our emotion and psychology in the volatile market.

DCA strategy is helpful to avoid effects from emotion and psychology but in practice, not all people can avoid fear when market is bad and do their DCA plan.

People who are fearful will need to look at Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy as example of DCA. They have been doing DCA since 2020 and they are winning big.

I know how bad I feel whenever I remember that I bought over 200 BNB in 2017 at less than a dollar per unit but sold off before price could hit even $4. It's either I would've sold too early or the device for saving my Bitcoin would've been impracticable to retrieve it from there.
Joining anything too early means risky and carelessness.

People did not care about their bitcoins, private keys years ago and lost theirs. You did not realize potentiality of BNB and lost it, sold it at cheap price more accurately.

Binance did BNB airdrop 500 token for each accepted participant.
Quote
In 2017 Binance, a then newly-established centralized crypto exchange, decided to give this strategy a try. Binance distributed 500 BNB tokens to anyone who simply signed up for the airdrop.

Here’s the math behind it. The BNB token was worth around $0.10 at that time. So, everyone received around $50 worth of crypto.
$50 is a good airdrop value in 2017 but if any person hold BNB token till 2024, they are rich now.

For me, the answer is yes because the strategy you're describing is commonly practiced in the cryptocurrency world, not just with Bitcoin but with other digital assets as well.

HODLing involves holding onto Bitcoin regardless of market volatility, with the expectation that is value will increase significantly in the long term.
HODLing is a good strategy and Bitcoin since 2009 shows that DCA plus HODLing are very good to get profit through investment in Bitcoin.

It is applicable for altcoins too but only profitable when applied for good altcoins. Ethereum is a controversial altcoin but it is a second biggest cryptocurrency and a another good example for success with DCA and HODLing.

With other altcoins, this strategy can not help because they can appear and die quickly.

And besides that, I think this club is also wasting a great player like Lukaku. Even though when Lukaku was at Chelsea he didn't immediately show good performance, at that time I would rather hope he was given more opportunities. And now what happened to Chelsea is that they really started from scratch. And yes, this will be a long journey until they can really return to their best performance again.
Lukaku is a good player but it's hard to use him. He scored many goals during his career and played for many clubs but his career is a mix of success and failures.

We can count clubs where he succeeded like Anderlecht, West Bromwich Albion, Everton, Inter Milan and Roma but he failed at some clubs, Chelsea (two times with different coaches and team mates), Manchester United, and Inter Milan.

To use Lukaku successfully, an appropriate system and tactics for this striker is important but as a single player in a squad of 11 players, Lukaku needs to adapt better to his team mates and tactics. He fails to do this at some clubs as I listed above and he is partially responsible for his failures too.

De Rossi wasn't a creative coach. He was a monotonous coach who repeatedly used the same strategy and i have observed it based on the last matches
He is a young coach and does not have enough experience as a head coach so far. At Roma, he did tried to let Roma return to Mourinho tactics but their players did not play well in that match. It forced De Rossi returns back to his favorite tactics after all. He is making impression with Roma but to succeed, he needs to be flexible in tactics and if he fails, he will be like many young coaches with impression in early of career but later fail to grow up more.

There are different strategies in every match. I think De Rossi is working on different strategies. They can play against Milan with a style of play that they do not expect because Milan is analyzing them now based on the fixed tactics they play. If Rome plays with a surprise tactic, they can catch Milan off guard, but of course this tactical change has a price. If they don't play well, Milan could destroy them.
Pioli is more experienced than De Rossi as head coach and AC Milan are actually stronger than AS Roma from player resource to their performances in this season. A draw at Lecce in Serie A reveals some weakness at Roma with considerable dependence on Dybala and not too strong defense which can be exploited by AC Milan's attacking players especially Rafael Leao.

Chance for Roma and De Rossi to beat AC Milan and Pioli is not too high.

Manchester City's head coach Pep Guardiola feels frustrated with the Premier League schedule ahead of facing Real Madrid in the first leg of quarter final the Champions League match. Real Madrid got advantage before facing Manchester City on the first leg because have taking rest many days than Manchester City with three days left.
For the first leg match, Real Madrid get more than ten days rest after facing Athletic Bilbao without any match yet until facing Manchester City, difference with The Citizen have two matches before facing Madrid and Pep Guardiola seems not happy with Premier League matches schedule with space three days left only after facing Crystal Palace.
Pep will say nothing if his team get benefit from his club schedule than Real Madrid. It's life, sometimes your team will get benefit from fixtures and sometimes will get disadvantage against your opponents.

To defend Champions League title, there are many challenges and fixtures are one of barriers. Real Madrid also created advantage by maintaining 8 points gap with their competitors in La Liga so they are able to plan for two quarter final matches better than Manchester City. Even if two clubs have same fixtures before quarter finals, Manchester City still face with bigger pressure from their domestic league title race than Real Madrid because they are at a third position with less points than both Liverpool and Arsenal.

Those who procrastinate from buying bitcoin do not actually have the faith to invest that's why they end up with invalid excuses. So let's stop from encouraging them to enter bitcoin investment because once they incur losses, they will end up blaming us for that. Instead, let's just focus on our own. Eventually, when they see us making great changes in our life, that's the time they will encourage theirselves as well to try and study bitcoin investment. At least, we won't be responsible anymore if ever they fail on their investments.
They repeat their activity many times.

When price was cheap, they were fearful and hesitated to buy. Through their long hesitation and waiting time, price recovered and moved out of bottom range, started a bull run, then they feel regretful by missing good entries.

It's when they start to repeat their mistakes again. Hope for cheaper price, discounts but when the market gives them such discounting prices, they are fearful and hesitating again. The cycle repeats until a time they actually steps in and becomes participants in this market, live with it and experience it by themselves.

With time and experience, they will become Bitcoiners, not all of them definitely.

Let's not talk much about "addiction" in comparing the two. Gambling is fun, you just choose which is more fun to you, going in an actual casino or just play it online. Because addiction could happen anytime and at any venue, that's up to us on how we control ourselves. Being responsible is very important in order to have fun in gambling, otherwise, we are just throwing money but not really getting the reason why we are gambling.

Duelbits has been one of my favorite sports betting venue online, I'm happy using the site but I always aim to experience better entertainment like going to vegas which I'm sure does require me a lot of money to have fun, so at the moment, I'll stick with this casino I am still getting what I want.
I love betting when I see an interesting match to watch. I don't bet big, only bet for fun with small bet to enjoy the match I want to watch.

That's it. If I win, my loved club win, I feel happy. If I lose my bet, it is not the end of my finance and I still not fall into many bad financial situation. When you have a small bet on your loved club, you will feel more exciting when watching a match.

It leads to more emotion while you are watching and it is how I enjoy football matches of a club I love.

I don't consider it is anything similarly to gambling addiction.

Now Liverpool only have to maintain with their victory, you could say the rest of the matches are just a few more but I checked the Liverpool match maybe a pretty tough opponent Manchester United away match continues to meet with Spurs, statistically it can be lost by Liverpool considering their performance historically which is quite excellent in every match.

True fans will be happy if their team continues to win points, the last PL trophy will be dedicated to Klopp as a touching farewell.

Now Liverpool's odds are rising, if I'm not mistaken Liverpool's odds of winning are below 2.00 but because of the persistence of the match last night the bookies are changing the betting market now.
Liverpool have biggest advantage in this title competition with Arsenal and Manchester City. They have more points than two competitors but in last 9 matches, Liverpool and Arsenal both will have three matches with clubs in top six, Manchester City will have only two matches with club in top six of Premier League.

Fixtures look to be harder for Liverpool and Arsenal but Manchester City will have to need bad results from both Liverpool and Arsenal to take over the first position. They are at worse condition amongst three competitors and Liverpool are at the best condition. They can control the competition and will take the trophy from Manchester City if they win all of last 9 matches in Premier League.

But now that he has confirmed this, of course everything is quite clear and Alonso's decision to stay at Leverkusen is the right decision, now Leverkusen has achieved something that is indeed quite proud, but I think there is still a lot of work to be done by Alonso in Leverkusen at the moment, besides that with Leverkusen playing in the Champions League of course Alonso has the opportunity to extend his list of records and successes in Coaching, so that when he succeeds of course he will be juxtaposed with top coaches like Mourinho, Guardiola, Zidane and Ancelloti, besides that not only Liverpool and Munich will queue up to ask him to coach but I think all the big European teams will ask him to coach later if Alonso can repeat Leverkusen success this season next season.
Xabi Alonso must feel strongly confident about himself by this big decision.

Receiving offers for negotiation from Bayern Munich and Liverpool is dream of many coaches especially a young coach like Xabi Alonso. By deciding to stay with Bayer Leverkusen and reject offers from two big clubs, Xabi actually is very confident that in a next season, he will be able to continue gaining success with Leverkusen.

If he repeats success and impression with Leverkusen like this season, his price on the market will be higher and he will be at better condition to deal with big clubs.

Oppositely, if his bet is wrong, Leverkusen performances in a next season, become worse than this season, Xabi Alonso will receive more doubt from big clubs and will have less bargain power to deal with them.
