As I said before, the bitcoin Mt. Gox allows correction regardless of how severe it is. Some of them may sell their bitcoin holdings, but of course they won't sell all of them because that would only deprive them of the opportunity to get higher price.

I know FUD Mt. Gox is nothing new in recent years, so I don't think the impact on the market will be as severe as one might expect. You all may be right, we just need to ignore this issue and stick to the good interests of holding bitcoin. If eventually bitcoin should fall deeper due to the truth of this news, then I don't think it will stay on bearish forever.

I don't think Barcelona will be a big threat to Real Madrid in tonight's match because both clubs are not in the same category in terms of players' motivation and other aspects such as you mentioned some key players from the Barcelona team are on injuries all these factors will contribute to making the match tough for Barcelona and Real Madrid have a highly motivated team.
Both teams have players who are able to create chances through their individual actions, but I also admit that both of them have weaknesses. Real Madrid tends to be expected to be stronger because we don't have many problems with the players, whereas Barcelona certainly has problems with the composition of the players due to several injuries.

Raphinha, Ansu Fati and Gavi might have created chances and goals during the game, but I have to stress that Barcelona will also take advantage of set pieces for goal chances. I never underestimate Barcelona even though I am 100% for Real Madrid but when it comes to winning at home we are the favourites. Do not hesitate.
1483  Economy / Speculation / Mt. Gox will release bitcoin in march - what's next? on: March 01, 2023, 04:27:15 PM
The news may not be good enough for the markets during March, but it will only be important for things to support bitcoin price analysis during March. Corrections may occur due to this plan, but however I don't know what the certainty is. My hope remains, bitcoin is expected to hold above $20K through March.

What are your plans now?

Mt. Gox creditors may finally start seeing their bitcoins this month

Quote
Mt. Gox creditors may start seeing their first bitcoin payments this month as the window for repayments is set to open.

Creditors are expected to receive early repayments from March 10 onward, while the deadline for such payments to be completed is September 30, according to a January statement. This is for the first tranche of repayments — including early lump sum payments and intermediate payments — with further amounts set to come later.

“Well, for myself, I had pretty much written off the Bitcoin I still had on Mt. Gox in 2014 as a loss, so philosophically anything I get back now is a bonus to cold store,” said Blockstream CEO Adam Back, who is a Mt. Gox creditor, via Telegram.

“It has stretched on for many more years than anyone expected, and so it will be welcome I am sure by any creditors to finally get paid,” he added.

Even though most people can expect bitcoin price to increase during March, but please don't ignore this one.

I read the news that The Block posted a while ago, and may soon change some perspective on the potential March price. Only I don't expect it to be FUD, but of course the market will be affected by it.

Here's the news: Mt. Gox creditors may finally start seeing their bitcoins this month

I'm simply the SILVER LININGer. I accept DOWNity "because Golden Opportunities", and I UPity cheer "because HODLing".

Plus I never take anything personally. I'm merely making the point of my posts very clear. It's easy to misunderstand each other's viewpoint without actually talking in person, facing each other.
I'm trying to understand what you're trying to explain, and I think some people might agree with you, but of course not everyone agree with you. In addition, dip is not only there when it is bearish, but also when it is bullish. After all we are still in a deep downturn as bitcoin has so far been holding on to a 65% drop in price from its previous ATH.

Buying dip during bearish period may be more profitable than buying dip during bullish, and the two offer different odds of the amount of profit to be made. I could consider both, but tend to prioritize dips during bearish.

Arsenal and Liverpool are both playing at home today it is clear that both teams are aiming for 3 points
Arsenal with the mission of securing the standings while Liverpool are targeting UEFA League tickets so there is no reason to miss this point
Everton may put up a fight because Everton also wants to get out of the red zone so I predict this fight will end with low goals.
Arsenal certainly really hope they can win the match against Everton to maintain their advantage over Manchester City. That is Arsenal's main mission, but no one will be brave enough to guarantee Arsenal win. I believe Arsenal's chances of winning are good, but I wouldn't dare guarantee they win it so everyone should care enough about the risk of losing.

Everton are in the relegation zone but no one can say they are weak and have no chance of beating Arsenal today. The probability may be low, but they also have a mission to get away from the relegation zone by gaining full points at the Emirates Stadium. Liverpool also have a high chance of winning their home match against Wolves, but Wolves also have the same mission by staying away from the relegation zone.

Their momentum is still there now, especially with Barcelona's current condition which can indeed be said to be lame because several of its players have leg problems and are currently recovering. This could be something good for them.
Their 3rd match (El Clasico) of the season in all competitions is coming again now in the Copa del Rey. It would be great for them to be able to take advantage of opportunities with Barcelona limping after losing several of its players. Even so, it will still be very interesting to watch because Barcelona can still be very strong and Madrid will definitely not let Barcelona lift the trophy again like the previous final which Barcelona won.
Even though Real Madrid has a good possibility to reduce the points gap with Barcelona in El Clasico match, however we can never guarantee victory at Camp Nou. You just need to be aware that Barcelona are very strong at home, but things can change when the team is not at their best.

Barcelona are not missing defenders, but they only have problems with midfielders and strikers. So I still consider them pretty strong on defense, but maybe a bit weak on offense.
1488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: February 28, 2023, 07:30:50 PM
They did that last year as well, and they are still doing it this year. This one was a bit too much of course lol, when you are losing 2-0, you score 3 goals and win the game and that's what we call a comeback, scoring 5 in a row as a response seemed like a bit of an overkill lol. But that allowed them psychologically finish this matchup, what will Liverpool do, win by 4 goals?

Of course not, we are not going to see that happening, so this matchup is basically over already and Real could start focusing on the league and the next stage a bit earlier than other teams. I am sensing that it's going to be a tough UCL season for all teams, so it's better to rest.
Liverpool could have won the match in Santiago Bernabéu, but I don't think they will qualify for the quarter-finals. We're not that stupid to let go when the fish is clear, I mean we really have to keep our chances of making the quarter-finals comfortably.

Even so, Liverpool are team that have struggled to beat Real Madrid so far, so I don't think they can beat Real Madrid as easily as beating Rangers 1-7  in the group stages this season. So in my opinion, Liverpool have chance to win but don't have good chance to make it to the quarter-finals.
1489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: February 27, 2023, 04:58:45 PM
The result was really unpleasant even though we did our best to win. To be honest I'm really disappointed because of this draw that we should have won, but I don't think this is the end of our struggles this season in La Liga. Real Madrid must remain optimistic about the good possibilities we can achieve for the rest of the season, and this is only so important that every player can keep his confidence in every match.

Mean while it is very unrealistic to expect Barcelona to lose and miss their good chance to win the title, I admit they have been better this season and they will do their best to keep their lead. Of course it's bad that we will be faced with 10 point gap in the standings, but that is only possibility should Barcelona win at the Municipal Stadium Mediterráneo.
Barcelona is now in a situation where it is possible to win La Liga again this season. With the existing difference in points, it is very difficult for Real Madrid to catch up with Barcelona. The reason is that with the high level of competition and the good performance shown by Barcelona it is very difficult to expect them to slip in at least 3 matches. They had realized their potential to become champions this season, so they were unlikely to miss the chance that was coming their way now. Xavi Hernandez will definitely try his best to return the trophy that has been missing from Camp Nou in recent seasons.
I know you are right, but in the end I have to be very happy for Barcelona's loss to Almeria. To be honest I'm not saying they were bad even though they lost, it was unexpected because the two teams are so different in quality.

Almeria succeeded in conquering Barcelona because of the discipline of their defenders. Then from that, Almeria also seemed successful in making the Barcelona players play wide because they did not hesitate to make physical contact when Barcelona had the ball. This is just a successful intimidation strategy because any Barcelona player must avoid unwanted injuries. Now we are 7 points away from Barcelona, ​​still quite a lot.

If Barcelona loses Robert Lewandowski when playing against Real Madrid then this will be a nightmare for Barcelona because surely they will find it difficult to get a win from Real Madrid because so far Barcelona can get wins usually from the contribution of Robert Lewandowski who managed to score.
But I hope it's not as bad as the dream we lost to them in the Super Copa final. Nobody underestimates them, but Madrid must take advantage of Barcelona's current situation.

Maybe, but definitely. there are still other candidates to be considered. if Bayern wins in the second leg over PSG, Bayern Munich will be a team that is highly calculated to be one of the strong challengers in this competition. on the other hand, I am quite optimistic that City will beat Leipzig in the second leg which will take place at the Etihad Stadium.

Meanwhile, if in the end Liverpool and Frankfurt failed by their respective opponents. meaning, these two teams will meet each other in the next phase. in fact, we can not predict it yet. because Napoli is not a weak team. they also have an impressive record, both in domestic leagues as well as in the Champions League. but for sure, we will only be able to wait until the round of 16 ends and which teams have the right to advance to the next round phase.
Even if PSG lose the first leg, I think they still have chance to win at the Allianz Arena, as well as Liverpool who will visit the Santiago Bernabéu. Liverpool's chances are very low, but I think good chance PSG can still hope for in the second leg. Also regarding Manchester City against Leipzig, I think Pep Guardiola's team will win and qualify for the quarter-finals.

PSG, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Inter, Napoli and Tottenham are the teams I think will qualify, but several other teams seem to have the same chance too even if they have lost the first leg.

Yes you are right, no one can give a definite answer to this question. I don't think we should focus on that, I know that we want the highest price to sell bitcoins and want to avoid a bear market. But if we really believe in bitcoin, then we can keep waiting without thinking about when the time is right. There have been many questions about this, starting from when to buy, when to sell and so on. If we only focus on that then we will continue to ask questions that actually don't have very accurate answers and are only in the form of speculation.
It's always good to consider selling your bitcoin at 2x to 3x the previous bitcoin ATH, that means you can wait for the price to reach $130K to $200K in the next ATH period. Of course I have to admit that it is a fantastic price to reach after halving of bitcoin, but any possibility that it could happen in the future including reaching it or it will just fail as expected.

We both expect repeat like the previous period, but still have to consider the risk for the amount that can afford to lose. Something that is expected about the future is not necessarily certain, this is just speculation based on previous events which in turn has made optimism grow and be maintained.

Both teams played very well and Atletico Madrid surprised me with the good performance they showed because I was expecting to see Real Madrid winning the game because of their situation in the league and try to decrease the points they need for first position in the league but they got a draw and lost two points in this match while today and after just a few hours we have Barcelona and Almeria which can't be a hard match for Xavi and his players and if they successfully beat Almeria they can 62 points and take some more space with Real Madrid.
The result was really unpleasant even though we did our best to win. To be honest I'm really disappointed because of this draw that we should have won, but I don't think this is the end of our struggles this season in La Liga. Real Madrid must remain optimistic about the good possibilities we can achieve for the rest of the season, and this is only so important that every player can keep his confidence in every match.

Until I make this reply, Arsenal still have @1.6 odds for their victory, this means that their chances of winning this match are still very big, maybe in the first half we won't see even 1 goal, but in the second half, it looks like we will see 2 more goals that will be created. My score prediction for this match is Leicester 1 - 2 Arsenal or Leicester 0 - 2 Arsenal. Still makes a lot of sense in my opinion, LOL.
I was surprised that Leandro Trossard's goal was disallowed after the ref reviewed the VAR, it was a bit of a disappointment and Leicester really had the advantage. The first half ended goalless, but there were two goals scored by each team even though they were not legal.

Arsenal have higher chance of winning, that's a reasonable prediction after seeing how well they performed in the first half. But look at Leicester, they also have chances to score especially when they counter attack. 1-2 makes sense, but 1-0 is busted.
1496  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can I invest my 60% savings in Bitcoin? on: February 25, 2023, 03:52:51 PM
It will be hard to determine whether the price will go dip again, but when it comes in Bitcoin prices it's good to just hold provided we have money to spend in our needs and everyday life also in case of emergencies so we will not be required to sell our investment at low price due to the fact that we put our money all in Bitcoin. I do accumulate Bitcoin whenever I can, but also pay my insurance, bought some stocks and left some savings at bank. We can't guarantee the prices but remember we're not at loss in crypto or in stocks as long as we don't sell it.
Believe that the price will definitely fall, but no one knows how deep the decline will be. Price changes in the market are the most unavoidable thing which is then referred to as volatility, and that's how the market has always worked.

Buying every dip and hold is great for your long-term investment, especially if you actually have the budget to stick with it consistently. The potential that bitcoin has in the long term is a possibility, and the so-called probability is definitely uncertain. You have to understand what the risks are, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't invest. Only play an amount you can afford to lose, whatever it is.

My grandfather has some wealth. Now my grandfather will invest all his wealth in Bitcoin. I told my grandfather not to invest all your wealth in Bitcoin.
I know you've been advising your grandpa to invest in one of the best assets ever, but are you sure your grandpa can afford to take the loss if bitcoin doesn't bring him the returns it deserves after a few years?

You can't ask anyone to put all their wealth in bitcoin if they don't know what bitcoin is and what the risks are. It is also not advisable to do so even if you are sure he knows what the consequences will be. We all never know what will happen to bitcoin in the future, but if you believe it is profitable then you should suggest investing an amount you can afford to lose.

My only question to all, was I able to give my grandfather the right advice??
Yes, you can. But don't let your grandfather invest in bitcoin with all his wealth when he doesn't know what the risks are.
1498  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: February 25, 2023, 03:27:05 PM
I agree that belittling Leicester City or the club just because they are weak doesn't mean they don't have something to defend against. Sometimes this also backfires on Arsenal, here on the other hand they certainly need to score more points but their path has not always been smooth sailing and we have seen that against Everton. Arsenal was made unable to score a point at that time. So this can also apply to Leicester City because when everyone is making Arsenal the favorite, the surprise comes from Leicester City.
The game had been going on for more than 20 minutes, and Arsenal really struggled to find a goal. I know they built a good attack, but it looks like Leicester really want to stop Arsenal by being very focused on defending.

Arsenal could score goals if Leicester's defense makes mistakes by fouling or allowing Arsenal players into shooting space, but so far Brendan Rodgers' plan is working. There are 5 to 7 players in the defensive area when Arsenal build up, so it should be difficult for Arsenal.
1499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: February 25, 2023, 03:17:42 PM
Yes, it is certain that this match will take place very hot and commotion among each player cannot be avoided. Regardless of the draw, so far both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid still have little chance of winning, but if a player gets a second yellow card or gets a straight red card, I think it's the team that plays with 10 people. will lose.
Several Real Madrid players had to miss today's derby match against Atletico Madrid, obviously that's a loss for us.
Rodrygo, David Alaba, Ferland Mendi are reportedly still injured so they must be absent and miss this important match. Real Madrid should be strong enough with the number of players available, and I think we have enough strength to win this home.

Atletico Madrid have also been good in their last few match in La Liga, but I have no doubts about the quality we have after coming home with a big win from Anfield. I hope victory is the most likely thing, but something to lose is the consequence.

Slots, it is a favorite game that has always attracted a lot of my interest in gambling.
I've lost a lot of money on games like slots, dice, and sports betting, but slots are the predominant. I dunno, I love to play around and get my enjoyment out of the game, but I'm not sure how much budget I've spent since the beginning until now. I guess I don't want to remember.
Not only you, but almost all gamblers like slot games and slot games are one of the most popular games among all gamblers.
But your experience is different from mine. As long as I play slot games, if I add up my total bet and the total wins I get, the total wins I get are bigger, so while playing slots, I haven't experienced a loss or lost a large amount of money.
I don't know how lucky you are at slots, but it is possible that someone can make profit on this type of game for a certain amount of time. All I know, luck-based games just don't allow you to make long-term profit, unless you stop playing them when you win a large amount. This is one of the strategies in slot games, but rarely is anyone able to control it and just stop after winning.
