Messi isn't the only person bearing the blames. Neymar and Mbappe are also doing the same. More blames will be coming because myself I also blame them. Messi's case is different, this is because, at his age, we ain't expecting many extraordinary things from him like He always does when in Barcelona. Secondly,  Messi is doing his best to make sure that his younger stars/ Colleagues ( Mbappe and Neymar) receive enough assistance and supports that they deserve from him, with this, much is done by Messi but little will be seen. So as a significant figure, you can't escape such blames.
PSG win and lose as a team and no single person should be blamed for their success or failure in a season. Messi, Neymar, Mbappe are their attacking players who are mostly responsible to score goals for PSG and partially contribute to their winning chance. However they are not god and can not bring PSG to winning in all matches if they don't have support from midfielders and defenders.

In return, midfielders and defenders need support and contributions from those players in defensive efforts which will help them to reduce pressure on their defense system and goalkeeper. Generally, their players must do attacking or defensive task as a whole team not as a single player.

I think it is purely a desire for him to go and not because of competition or anything else because Lionel Messi has won every title in his football career. messi is often associated with mbappe and they are often compared unfairly in comparing the qualities of the two. I even think it's lucky for Mbappe to have the experience of playing with a football legend in mastering all the ways and forms in terms of the qualities that Lionel Messi has.
Messi looks to obsessed with his ambition to win another and last Champions League in his career. Beyond that, he has nothing more to want and it is not bad if he leaves Europe and move to Saudi Arabia to enjoy very last seasons in his career but be able to fill up his pocket with hundreds of million dollar.

Quote
I think Barcelona will make every effort to repatriate Lionel Messi, especially the option of selling players that they will carry out in the transfer season window to balance their expenses.
Chance to win Champions League with Barcelona is small and they are not able to pay high salary for Messi. It pluses with bad treatment they gave to Messi two years ago, they will not have chance to convince him to return.

Juventus might not get into the top four positions this season but there's every possiblity that they can end the season in top six. After the scandal issue that made the Italian Football Federation to deduct some points from them as one the punishment measures, they had a good run of form that made many think that they'll end the season in top four but has somehow slacked back recently.
Top six is not what Juventus want and they aim at top four because Champions League prize pool can help their club finance a lot more than prize pool in Europa League. However, they will not give up in Serie A and you are right, being eligible for Europa League is better than not, and better than only being eligible for Conference League.

Although, they will continue to fight in Serie A for as best position as they can achieve to appear in Europe next season, they will shift their main priority towards Europa League quarter final matches with Sporting Lisbon first. Then if they can join semi finals, they will continue with it as their biggest priority. I believe that if Juventus reach to semi final stage in Europa League, they will no longer have interest in Serie A.
1463  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: April 11, 2023, 10:39:26 AM
I think you mean Juventus tried to save some potential against Lazio to have better stamina against Sporting but even in the game against Lazio they were playing while they had all the key players and the three points of that game were important for them because they could reach the top of the table a few weeks, I think if they show the same performance we saw from them against Lazio there is the possibility for them to lose this game.
I don't think Juventus planned to give up too early in Serie A but they actually lost against Lazio and now it looks like Europa League is the only gate for them to join Champions League next season. They must win Europa League to have a special slot to Champions League. Sporting Lisbon are not weak as they went to quarter final by beating Arsenal in a previous stage.

In fact Juventus are amongst most favorite candidates to win Europa League in the last 8 clubs. They together with Manchester United / Sevilla, AS Roma and Leverkusen will likely be winner in this season.

Maybe the Juventus team felt more important in the match against Sporting. So they didn't give full effort against Lazio. However, as a result, Juventus has fallen far behind in the race to qualify for the Champions League. The Europa League match is certainly important, but qualifying for the Champions League is no less important for Juventus. Juventus team is 8 points behind AC Milan. And it has become more and more difficult for them to get into the top four of the points table. However, I hope to see a better performance from Juventus in the Europa League match.
Giving full effort in the match with Lazio or not, they failed already and now it's time to move on with a bigger task, winning Europa League. Your analysis is true that Juventus from now, will have to bet all they have for Europa League. At least, they are able to beat Sporting Lisbon and will find their opportunity in semi final stage. They are not too far from the title which is helpful for them and is like a gift for them to participate in Champions League.

Market cap of a coin determines its value. If the market cap doubles, the value also doubles. Circulating supply is also important in doubling the price of a coin. Market cap and circulating supply together determine the price of a coin. Other factors are valuable but these two are most important.
Marketcap does not reflect value of a coin but it reflects current price of that coin.

Current price can be higher, lower or as same as value of the coin. You can not say a value of Dogecoin is at $0.7 when it pumps to that price within a few hours. It is just a temporary price and temporary marketcap for Dogecoin.

Its value is determined by its use cases, usability and how small or big its adoption is, its communities are and more factors.

Price # Value
Marketcap # Value

A draw is not a good result for Arsenal who are looking to stay away from Manchester City in the title race and I agree with you.
A draw is not a result Arsenal wanted before the match and after they had two goals first. It's a disappointed result for Arsenal indeed.

Quote
Liverpool should have lost because Arsenal's performance was quite good. Arsenal's two early goals, which were created in the 8th and 28th minutes, increasingly showed that Virgil van Dijk was someone who had to be responsible.
It was clear from Gabriel Jesus heading that van Dijk didn't know his main role as a center back.
Both Arsenal and Liverpool have risk to lose and chance to win in the match as it has many twists for both clubs. It began like a nightmare for Liverpool but it turned to be a nightmare for Arsenal in a second half and only Ramsdale could save Arsenal from a loss in very last minutes.

Not only Van Dijk but other defenders and midfielders of Arsenal are responsible for their poor defense too. They lost ball in very dangerous areas which gave Liverpool players some opportunities to quickly attack Ramsdale with their shots.

With the current statistic, and unplayed matches i think Manchester City is closer to winning this premiere league compared to Asernal even though Asernal is topping the league table currently
Arsenal still have more points than Manchester City and they won't give three points to Manchester City in their direct clash easily. I would say chance for Manchester City to win Premier League becomes bigger after this draw from Arsenal. However, I would not say their chance is bigger than chance for Arsenal.

Manchester City can lose points too and in this season, they lost more points than usual. Why do you not think Manchester City will lose 2, 4 or more points in their two matches and even Arsenal just had a draw, they will expand the gap with Manchester City?
1467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 10, 2023, 06:08:45 AM
A draw was a bad result for Arsenal, how can Arsenal be serious in winning the premier league title this season If they're not capable of maintaining a lead against a weak Liverpool that has been very poor this season. This means if Liverpool were having a good season, then Arsenal wouldn't had seen a draw instead they would had lost the game.
It is not too bad for Arsenal as the opponent is Liverpool and Manchester City must win their two matches to reduce the gap to 3 points. No guarantee that Manchester City will win both matches. However it is surely a disappointed result as Arsenal could do it better with two leading goals.

It was an exciting match with plenty of twists and turns. Liverpool rescues a point from Arsenal, so Roberto Firmino's goal undoubtedly provided a great moment for the team. Yes, Liverpool struggles this season, but it's great to see they still have a strong record against Arsenal. Even on their worst season, Arsenal can't manage to get the three points. Liverpool played really well in the second half, and could have won the game. It's always encouraging to see a team show passion and determination, when they're up against the league leaders.
Arsenal scored two goals and looked to destroy Liverpool at Anfield but the match has a twist after a situation between Xhaka and Robertson. After that, the crowd at Anfield stadium and Liverpool players created bigger pressure on Arsenal then they gradually changed the match.

Honestly, with what Arsenal shown in a second half, they were very luckily to end this match with a draw. Even in very last minutes of the match, Ramsdale made two excellent saves to secure one point for Arsenal. They got big advantage in early of a first half but later even faced with a loss.

dude it's really sad to see that this altcoin is now worth nothing literally, because you're with high losses imagine buying at 40$ and falling to 12$ or buying at 20$ and falling to 12$. well if you managed to sell at 40$ then consider yourself a very lucky guy because now you can buy few coins and make hodl in the hope that one day you will get back to 40,000$
Buying $CAKE at $40 is bad and now is in serious loss but it is in a bear market. Things will change in a big bull market after next Bitcoin halving in 2024. Pancakeswap is a backbone of Binance Smart Chain and BSC tokens just like Uniswap for ERC-20 tokens.

I think with price under $4, it is good to accumulate $CAKE as part of your dollar cost averaging practice to reduce your average entry price and hold the toke patiently. If you can reduce your average price to about $10, it is very possible to have a draw and $20 in a next bull run is possible too. I am not too optimistic that $CAKE token will recover to $40 or make a new all time high but $10 and $18 or $20 is very realistic target price.

You know we have already seen the bottom on altcoin bear market when Sushiswap gets hacked and no one even cares that they get exploited. Imho weak hands are out and from the technical side i think we can rise any time now.
Not too soon, not anytime from now as the bear market is not over yet. We can see some altcoins suddenly bounce 2x, 3x from their bottoms and reach to their prices about one or two years ago in a past bull market. However it does not change a fact that bear market is not finished yet.

After a hack, a platform and its native currency need some time to rally and usually it needs a couple of months to cool down panic wave and rally well.

Quote
But on the other hand my question is, how many dex hacks there needs to be until you would accept that current tech isn't even near for wide adoption? As we have all the responsibility of our money, even in cases of DEX hacks, how in the million years this tech would be adopted by anyone else then experimental libertarians?
Smart contracts are vulnerable to attacks and consequences from smart contract hacks are more serious than double attacks on Proof of Work blockchains.

Developers can not build up perfect smart contracts which are 100% protected against hackers. In addition, those platforms and their smart contracts have to upgrade with time. With each upgrade, new risk of hack on their newly upgrade smart contract will occur again.

Indeed, education is an important tool to change people's minds about Bitcoin and blockchain. The more people learn about technology and its potential benefits, the more they can appreciate its contribution to the world of finance and economics. However, besides education, there are other ways to change people's minds.
People have different taste for benefit and risk. You can not have anything with benefit only and without risk. Bitcoin brings you potential benefit that is true but it contains risk too.

You can convince people who are more keen on benefit with Bitcoin and consider risk is small or not important. Nevertheless there are other people who consider risk is more important than benefit and they will ignore Bitcoin, choose other alternatives which they believe are safer than Bitcoin. They can be wrong with their assessment of Bitcoin and other alternatives but you can not change them.
1471  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has a bad reputation (we should fix it) on: April 09, 2023, 01:59:31 AM
I've been thinking a lot about Bitcoin adoption lately and I think that adoption is still pretty slow partly because of the Bitcoin reputation. Despite it being a progressive technology of the future, a lot of people still think that it's a joke.

So there is different opinion among people about Bitcoin. Some people consider Bitcoin as "criminal money" because it's often used on the dark web and helps criminals to get away with selling drugs and stuff.
People are free with their minds and they can think Bitcoin is either a joke, a fraud or a virtual thing. You don't need to convince anyone that Bitcoin is a good thing with good reputation. It was not created to be used for criminal activities including dark markets and money laundering so it is not related to bad reputation caused by those activities.

Is Alfred Nobel related to many deaths in the Russia invasion to Ukraine and Russia - Ukraine war? He is not responsible for it and you know who is responsible for it.

He has patent for dynamite but he is not responsible for people who used it to kill others, in wars and invasions.

Nobel's most famous invention was dynamite, a safer and easier means of harnessing the explosive power of nitroglycerin; it was patented in 1867.

Juventus main problem in their last few matches is obviously about scoring goals. Their strikers seems to be in their unproductive time, starting from Vlahovic, Milic, and Kean, they did not show something special this year. I'm not really sure what is wrong but maybe line ups combination made by Allegri is not really working well. Juventus own many talented and star players but they cant play with their best.
Juventus have one of best attacking systems in Serie A if we look at total goals they have scored so far in Serie A. Their defense system has more problems than their attacking system.

With a defeat under Lazio, a dream to join top four for Juventus is mostly over. They don't need to catch Lazio on the table but they must avoid to have bigger gap with other clubs like AS Roma, AC Milan and now the gaps are bigger. With 9 matches left and 8 points less than AC Milan (4th position), 9 points less than AS Roma (3rd position), and those clubs have same total matches, Juventus must be more realistic with their target. A position to join Europa League next season is a best they can do in Serie A.

Of course they still have Europa League to fight and if they win it, they will be qualified for Champions League.
1473  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some Factors That Determine Prices of bitcoin on: April 08, 2023, 08:07:55 AM
Supply and demand principle makes sense but it is not enough. Bitcoin market is finite and it can be easily manipulated with volume shocks. When market has big forced liquidation, price will move up or down a lot. That is a time when Supply and demand principle does not correct.

About circulating supply, you can not know it exactly and you can not calculate and know how many bitcoins were lost forever to subtract the amount from circulating supply. It is a challenging math and can not be solved exactly.

In long term, Supply and Demand principle is important for this market as with only 21M bitcoins in total supply plus its increasing adoption then bigger demand, price must move up. New capital pours into Bitcoin market will naturally lift Bitcoin up.

there is no doubt that Manchester united will be the underdogs in the game against Everton at Old Trafford Stadium. Maybe Everton always surprises their opponents when Everton plays as the host. but when they play at home then I don't think much can be expected from Everton. Moreover, the opponent they will face is Manchester United, which is certainly superior in all aspects compared to Everton. yeah I will also favor Manchester United without a doubt for this fight.
Do you know what you wrote?

Manchester United are stronger than Everton, have better position than Everton and have better quality players than Everton. Lastly, they will host that match at their home stadium. How did you say Manchester City will be an underdog in the match?

If there is an underdog, should it be Everton?

Everton did try to escape from the relegation zone and their position now is not safe. With 27 points, they have same total points of West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and only have 2 and 4 points more than Leicester City and Southampton at bottom of table. I don't see chance for Everton at Old Trafford as they will have to face with a club that has full reasons to win it. Manchester United must beat Everton if they don't want to be kicked out of top four.

It is a start of story and to become a Bitcoin investor, your friend need to go through more things which are challenging.

At that point I go this question in mind ;what does it really take to become a Bitcoin investor .does it mean that if you own a considerable amount of Bitcoin in your wallet you are now a Bitcoin investor or there is more to it aside having a basic knowledge of crypto currencies
To actually become a Bitcoin investor, you must have enough knowledge about basics of Bitcoin, how to store your bitcoin safely in what wallet, how to check transactions in your wallet or on block explorers to not panic when you move your bitcoin and it does not go to receiving address.

You must experience market bull and bear as well as fud. After all, if you still hold your bitcoins, still have belief in bitcoin, you are actual Bitcoin investor.

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible and if you made a mistake transaction to a wrong receiving address, when it is confirmed by miners on the network, it is done on Bitcoin blockchain and can not be reverted. So it is no chance for you or anyone to retrieve those coins for you.

It is not related to Bitcoin tx accelerator so your question is confusing.

If your problem is your transaction is stucked in mempool because you use low fee rate, you can use tx accelerator or you can bump the fee by using RBF opt-in and Bump the fee option in your wallet.

Lazio vs Juventus will be a tight match. Both teams perform very well currently. Although Lazio is in 2nd place, I don't think that Lazio is better than Juventus. Juventus is just unlucky because he got a problem, so they lose many points. But if we consider the squad quality, I think Juventus squad is much better than Lazio squad. I really expect that Juventus to win this match, they have good motivation to return to top 5.
Juventus have second best form in Serie A after World Cup 2022 and only Napoli have better form than Juventus in latest months. With that outstanding form, Juventus recovered from 15 points deduction and gradually climbed up. Now they are very closely to top four and I don't think about Juventus chance to catch Lazio on the table. A more realistic target for Juventus is catch a club at the fourth position, AC Milan. In fact AC Milan, Inter Milan and AS Roma all have 50 points.

Quote
If they win this match, I assume they may return to top 5 at the end of the season.
Beating Lazio will help Juventus at least maintain 6 points gap to those clubs and if luckily enough, they can reduce gaps with one of those clubs. Top 5 is not a favorite target of Juventus at the end of season.

Seem yes, I feel like Manchester City Deja Vu when look Newcastle's performance for this session. After being bought by Arabian Millioners, Newcastle transformed into a club worth reckoning with the bigger club. Their squad is not too special like Liverpool and other clubs, but the strategy is the same when playing on the field.
Newcastle United have faster success than Chelsea and Manchester City as those clubs have to spend a few years before participating in top four then becoming biggest candidates for Premier League trophy.

Newcastle United surprisingly only had ownership change in middle of the past season but they quickly jumped to top four of Premier League in this season and they held the third position many weeks before losing it to Manchester United. Anyway, they just reclaimed after a direct win over Manchester United last weekend.

Quote
I am really sure the key player like Miguel Almiron, Bruno Guimaraes, Fabian Schar and Nick Pope could will be more expensive if can bring Newcastle on the Champions League zone after this session.
Fair to say, because of success with Newcastle United, Bruno Guimaraes was given a spot in Brazil national squad to play in World Cup 2022.
