For the short term maybe the price will be difficult to go up and even down, of course it will be a boring thing if the bitcoin price doesn't go up, a lot of people will sell when it doesn't go up soon in the long term, but the decentralized system is unique because bitcoin prices can go up and down occurs tens of percent in a day, and a few hairs then the price can go up more than 20% in a day.
That price volatility is a very natural thing, and it should be. If the market didn't fluctuate, imagine how traders would make a profit. They must be wise enough to think about and pay attention to the price of bitcoin both in the short and long term. Anyone can make a profit, and vice versa. Of course it is true that prices can change tens of percent in a day, we have experienced this in the dump and pump processes.

the percentage of AC Milan and Napoli in being able to win the UCL this season is very small compared to the other remaining teams, if you look at the strength of the teams, the two representatives of Serie A are not the favorites to win the title.
we see the strength of other teams realistically, even though they can place 2 of their representatives in the quarter-finals, that doesn't mean that Serie A this season is much better than last season or other leagues.
I think there are at least 4 teams that have the potential to reach the final and win the title, they are:
1. Napoli
2. Real Madrid
3. Manchester City
4. Bayern Munchen

Even if all teams had a chance to make it to the finals I think one or two of the four finals favorites would enter. I'd expect Real Madrid to be in the final, but I wouldn't be too eager to say if we weren't really good in the quarter-finals. Now is the time to look forward to the quarter-finals, and so far I've been waiting to see who Real Madrid will play against.

All payments are possible with bitcoin even if your government prohibits it. The problem is you only have to make the transaction with those who accept bitcoin as a means of payment, and in this case both parties agree on the medium of payment used. After all, your bitcoin are your bank, meaning you are free to send them wherever you want, at any time, in any amount without the need for approval from other parties. But that's only if you have independent custody of all your bitcoin.

But anyway you do not need to commit offenses when your country's government does not allow bitcoins to be used as currency. But of course you can get around this by converting your bitcoins to fiat and you make legal payments according to the provisions of your country.

Last season  many didn't believe Real Madrid will be able to win the Champions league,  and this season people don't still have strong believe in real madrid winning the champions. Real Madrid defeating Liverpool in the first and second leg competition speaks a lot about Real Madrid. I believe Real madrid is a strong team that can always get what they want. Real Madrid stands a better chance of winning the champions league this season than every other team in the Champions league.
Everyone knows that Real Madrid is one of the strongest teams in the Champions League every season, but of course there's nothing wrong if they have reasons to doubt Real Madrid. I'm not going to make a big deal out of their doubts because basically they have their own point of view in analyzing, but I also can't say for sure whether this season Real Madrid will be able to defend the title or not.

Real Madrid is the favorite team every season they participate in the Champions League. I think everyone knows about that too, but it's impossible to always expect to win if we don't play well compared to the opponent. I hope we don't lose Benzema and Vinicius in the quarter-finals especially because these two players have made many appearances in various competitions. Ancelotti doesn't have to force them both in easy matches especially in La Liga where it seems it's starting to be impossible to win them from Barcelona.

Liverpool literally scored all of them goals against Manchester United already (7-0) believe me they'll find it difficult to score against Fulham during the weekend fixtures. Fulham are also fighting hard for the spot of European Competition next season don't even expect them Fulham to slow down for Liverpool, no that wouldn't work.

If Liverpool wants to get back to good days then they have to go back to the signature of new players, Henderson, James Minler, Chamberlain, they all need to leave the club for youngins to come in. Tough test against Fulham I must say.
Fulham are hard to predict as they have surprised some of the big teams quite often this season. But what's the problem? Liverpool are playing at home and I think they can really be favorites to win the match. I agree it won't be easy, but Liverpool are the team most likely to pick up the 3 points at the end of the match.

So far Liverpool have only lost 1 at home in their 13 home matches, while Fulham have lost 6 of their 13 away match. From that I think you can determine who is the favorite even though in football nothing is certain.
1426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: March 16, 2023, 08:20:02 PM
The Real Betis vs Manchester United match has entered the 74th minute now and Manchester United have only scored one goal with an aggregate of 1 - 5 so that the advantage for Manchester United has increased even though the ball possession is almost equal for these two teams, but Real Betis seems unable to do anything many in this second leg match even though Real Betis are the hosts in this second leg.
Because of the very clear difference in quality, Real Betis really have to admit Manchester United's strength in the 2 legs of the Europa League this season. Manchester United managed to qualify with a good aggregate score, this was a match that made the team's motivation even better following the embarrassing defeat to Liverpool.

Right now I'm curious about Arsenal even though they are playing at home. To qualify Arsenal must win at least 1-0, but of course Sporting is an opponent who can surprise today. 20 minutes without a goal, this is definitely not a good thing for the first half.

1427  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why is there so much resistance for Bitcoin reaching $25,000 on: March 16, 2023, 08:09:26 PM
-Even though Bitcoin made many attempts to break the ops benchmark,  market forces have relentlessly kicked against that price and the candle stick can bear the heat at a 25k+ price so it has to burn down repeatedly.
Keep calm and hang on, it's just a fun dynamic to enjoy. The price of bitcoin forms the same pattern in several cycles of ups and downs, a kind of rapid rise and fall. It's kind of weird because at the end of the day over and over again $25k is hard to be a support. The current resistance has increased, it's not $25k anymore, but I think it's at $26k.

Napoli have made it to the quarter finals and I'm wondering what team they will have a matchup against. I would really like to see Napoli facing one of the biggest title contenders left because Napoli's performance in such a matchup would give us a better idea about them in the Champions League. Actually I know they faced Liverpool in the group stage. One of those matches were a pure destruction by Napoli.
I don't want Napoli to get Real Madrid for the quarter-final draw this season. I'm not afraid and actually I have no reason to be afraid because I know which team I support. Whoever Real Madrid will play against this season is a challenge, even if it's Benfica. Tomorrow is draw day for the quarter-finals, I'm really curious.

When Liverpool was matched against Real Madrid, it was already predetermined that Liverpool won't scale through to the quarter finals. Just how could they have with this lack of form and against one of the best teams that have proven themselves over in the UCL.
They lost but not awfullly like it was in the first leg and the Benzema's goal for Real Madrid was just a must score with that positioning and Vinicious Jnr found him real good too.
The second leg is very different for Liverpool, but Liverpool are no match for Real Madrid. So the Liverpool defeat was predicted, it came true. Even if Liverpool are good in some areas, we can handle it.
1429  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: March 16, 2023, 07:05:24 PM
Liverpool are not confident about a comeback to even qualify for the quarter-finals, I think it is also difficult for Liverpool to score 4 goals against Madrid without replying, on the contrary, Madrid scored 1 additional goal in this second leg, I think people already know yesterday's match the result is that madrid will advance to the quarter-finals.  Wink
How can Liverpool have such good confidence after their heavy defeat in the first leg with 2-5? I never expected them to win the second leg, in the end my hopes were right even though I predicted Real Madrid could win 3-1 in the second leg. But it doesn't matter, the final aggregate is 6-2 to qualify for the quarter-finals, fantastic.

Then next, I think our move would have been difficult had Napoli and Bayern Munich been opponents for the draw. I know Napoli is good, Munich is good and both teams are really going to make it difficult for Real Madrid. I don't expect either of these two teams to meet Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, but if they do then I hope we have a solution to qualify.
1430  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banks are once again up to their old tricks - Is your money safe? on: March 16, 2023, 06:27:29 PM
Keeping money with banks now is one of the biggest risk one can take especially when the amount is much left with the centralized financial institutions, now that there have been discovery of a secured decentralized digital network that cab help keep our assets safe and free from every form of government interference and yet some people were still holding their entire finances with banks or centralized exchanges means they need an eye opener to give them a practical example from the past experience others have with banks ceasing their money till date without releasing it.
Even if you've said something true, you can't really expect everyone to have cryptocurrency as a store of value. They can invest with crypto, use it as a means of payment, while crypto has more risks than just saying its advantages.

One can still expect a bank to freeze their account when something happens to an account in its name, but you can't expect your crypto to be safe forever without a high level of care about security measures. So changing the mindset of someone who already believes strongly in centralized banking towards crypto independence is difficult, even if some would consider it but it is highly unlikely to expect 50% of bank users to convert to crypto.
1431  Other / Meta / Re: Should the forum stop advertising mixers? on: March 15, 2023, 06:48:25 PM
Should forum admin consider to stop all campaigns related to mixers?
Just stop if it's the last solution. But I don't think forum are going to stop it just because mixer services provide an opportunity for anyone to increase privacy. Abuse of the service should be excluded even if some people use the mixer to obfuscate their bitcoin transactions for prohibited things, the conditions should be the same as when bestmixer was confiscated. This means that the forum doesn't stop advertising other mixers.

So far I haven't gotten any red flags about the existence of a mixer on bitcointalk especially to anyone using it legally.

Even though currently in La Liga Real Madrid have lagged behind Barcelona and also in the Copa Del Rey Real Madrid are left with a thin aggregate over Barcelona. But for the Champions League I'm sure Real Madrid will qualify for the next round if Real Madrid only narrowly lose today to Liverpool.
You don't have to doubt Real Madrid in the Champions League, I hope you have the best reasons when you say Liverpool can narrowly beat us today.
I can't imagine losing, it's a game we have to win no matter what. No one will underestimate Liverpool, but Real Madrid just need to realize that winning will make the team better mentally and form.

I was expecting a 3-1 win for Real Madrid, so no defeat I was expecting even if Liverpool had chances to score.

I’m not going to watch Real vs LFC tonight. Anybody who knows me will know how big of an LFC fan I am. I’ve been all over Europe watching the Reds. I just can’t watch tonight, we got really humiliated in the 1st leg. I just don’t see us laying a glove on Real tonight. Going to save myself from being upset and sit this one out. Put your house on Real to advance to the 1/4 final. This version of LFC aren’t going to cause Real any problems.
Lol, but please - this is football, mate. Every team can lose and win, but I'm sorry because actually I really wanted my team to win this big match and defend the title.

Of course this is the most shocking news I heard today. Some of the other mixing services still advertised on the forums still seem safe, but they are on the government list. I don't know how these kind of things can affect bitcoin, but I don't think anyone should blame bitcoin even though it is used in many illegal activities by some people.

I don't expect the government and its authorities to blame bitcoin in this case, but I do expect the government to blame those who misuse bitcoin for their illegal actions.

I think no one doubts Manchester City today they are in a safe position as you said playing at home will be an advantage their confidence will increase
In the last few years Manchester City has always failed in the final so this season they have a big chance to repeat it to go to the final.
I predict Manchester City can win with 2 goals or more and one goal scored in the first half, ber for Man City Win in HT.
It happened and at this time Manchester City had a 2-0 lead over their opponent. Leipzig made too many mistakes at the back and that has allowed Haaland to score 2 goals for the home advantage. I think Haaland can also score 3 goals or a hat-trick in this match, and that's close.

While I tend not to see Leipzig having many advantages in creating and developing their game in the first half. So we already know now who is really the favorite and won the match even though it's still the first half.
1435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: March 14, 2023, 08:09:37 PM
Arsenal have been the most consistent team in the EPL this season. Manchester City have much experience in competing for the league trophy and this is the first time most of the players in the Arsenal squad are actually getting a shot at the league title. So many people want to see Arsenal drop out of the race but I think Arsenal have had a bit of luck this season and even when they lost 8 points lead they still got back 5 again. I also want to see Manchester City's dominance over the league come to an end.
It is possible that Manchester City will give Arsenal the opportunity to win the title this season after such a long time. But I don't see Guardiola really going to let Arsenal do that without trying to defend his title interest.

Manchester City has a chance to reclaim first place from Arsenal considering the two teams will meet each other for the rest of the season. If Manchester City wins, then of course Manchester City's chances will increase and it's only getting closer to first place. But you are right, Manchester City have not been more consistent this season than Arsenal, but I have a feeling it will continue to improve for Manchester City especially as they are a team with big ambitions about titles.
1436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: March 13, 2023, 05:38:46 PM
Barcelona continued to win matches and only suffered 2 defeats and 2 draws in 25 matches. We are already in the second half of the season and closer to the end (13 match to the end of the season) and Real Madrid has increasingly had to realize that its chances of being in first place this season are getting more and more difficult.

Barcelona is 9 points ahead and of course they are more confident to maintain their advantage even though we also want to improve the consistency of results in every game. It's difficult, it's really not the best season for Real Madrid. We really wonder about their defense this season in La Liga, Barcelona have only conceded 8 goals in 25 match and that is the best record ever.

1437  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price guess for March on: March 13, 2023, 05:26:16 PM
Those who took the opportunity to buy at $ 20K a few days ago were of course very happy when they saw the price of Bitcoin today because it has increased by almost 20% and that is what Bitcoin investors and traders are really looking forward to. Because the profit will be very good if in these two days Bitcoin is able to pass the price level of $ 25K again.
While I'm also happy for this pump, at least stock investing is very bullish right now. I had buying opportunities on the dips, apparently only twice during price swings between $22K to $19.5K. Of course this is a strategy I have considered for a long time, but I am not in the mood to sell on the bulls today because ultimately I believe strongly in the longer term projection.

But if you love to trade, then this is the time for you to take profits instead of being too wait for higher profits. The price could still go down even though today it has hit some resistance, but this is a natural dynamic in bitcoin.
1438  Economy / Speculation / Re: Mt. Gox will release bitcoin in march - what's next? on: March 12, 2023, 05:15:43 PM
-snip-
I believe FUD and the negative sentiment that occurred during March have affected market conditions.
We could see bitcoin testing new support below $19K if this sort of thing continues through March. But brace yourself, ignore the temptation because this is just a normal swing before we finally see the bull again.

Oh hey, we're still in the same ship right? Keep holding on, do the accumulation.

The draw that Manchester United got when they hosted Southampton at Old Trafford made predictions in this match miss. Before the match started, Manchester United was predicted to be able to dominate the match with a win. The bluntness of Manchester United attack line made them have to share points with Southampton, the aggressiveness of Manchester United players was not visible after Casemiro was rewarded with a red card. In my opinion, this result is very fair for both teams. Playing with 10 players is very difficult to develop a game, while Southampton were very lucky after Casemiro was sent off.
I already said that the match looks like it will end in a draw after Manchester United are 1 man short. Casemiro is an important player in the Manchester United squad this season, he is good at many things both in defense and attack.

Southamton were lucky and took advantage of Manchester United's instability to perform better. Evidently, in the second half they played better and put a lot of pressure on the host's defense. I'm not saying it's a fair result, you know? Southampton are just not going anywhere after steal 1 point at Old Trafford, meaning they remain in 20th place (relegation zone).
1440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: March 12, 2023, 03:13:55 PM
This week there were a lot of easy matches for the top teams, but in fact we were wrong because these relegation zone teams really played well in defense. Liverpool lost to the relegation zone team, while Manchester City struggled to win the match against Crystal Palace. Those were two completely unexpected matches, especially when it came to the performance of the non-favourites team.

For today, Manchester United must not underestimate the strength of Southampton even though Manchester United is the favorite. Southamton won their last game against Leicester, so they also have a chance to win this game even at Old Trafford. At other match, Arsenal seems to be safe to think about winning this match against Fulham, at this time Arsenal have been leading 0-2 in in the first half. But I think Fulham have to think of a solution to at least be able to get points in this match even though it's difficult.
But not including for Liverpool although as top team position standing have loss from Bournemouth, today still left with Arsenal and Manchester United are top team will got winning or not. Current score until first Arsenal success lead 0-3 from Fulham and Manchester United still draw.
I can exclude Arsenal, but not Manchester United.
Arsenal can win the match easily at home to Fulham, just look at their performance in the first half.

Meanwhile, Manchester United, they are getting more and more difficult after Casemiro was sent off by the referee due to red card. The second half was even more difficult because they only played with 10 men. Southampton could have stolen points at Old Trafford as I said before, but of course Manchester United won't be that easy to beat. At the moment Southamton's chances seem to be improving, but I think it's a draw between the two.

Quote
Arsenal likely keep superior and have chance behind 5 points left with Manchester City
Yes, I agree with you. Fulham haven't had any good chances so far but there's plenty of time for them to take advantage but I believe Arsenal's lead will be safe.
