Hazard has been increasingly eliminated from the Real Madrid first team because his performance has not improved. Eden Hazard has made 70+ appearances for Real Madrid since 2019 but he has only scored 6 goals in all competitions so it is only natural for him to leave Real Madrid in the upcoming transfer window. It doesn't make sense that Real Madrid would keep him, he really fell short of expectations. Last season Hazard only scored 2 goals in 18 appearances in Laliga, that is clearly bad for the Real Madrid striker.

I don't see Croatia in this tournament for a strong team. Theyve had to struggle all the way and there game with Japan, I don't know how that could he seen as a good enough performance to play Brazil which have been in charge of there game from onset. Brazil has got so much talents in its team and finding the back of the net is something you could say would come handy in the hands of Richarlison, Vinicius Jnr, Neymar Jnr and they've got Raphinha to be the power house in getting the crosses in to make the goals happen. Croatia haven't hot what it takes to battle a determined Brazil, not with Pele standing standing in treatment for a motivation.
Therefore Croatia will be the challenger in the match against Brazil as Brazil are the favorites to win the match. Croatia were lucky after the penalty shootout against Japan but I believe they will fight to beat Brazil regardless of how the final score is. I'm sure Brazil will win, but no one will underestimate the strength of the Croatian team if everyone is willing to work hard during the match.

There is always a way to beat the favourites, Japan proved it to Germany, Saudi Arabia proved it to Argentina, Morocco proved it to Belgium and Spain and it was all a surprise for a team that was perceived to be weak compared to their opponents. Anything can happen in 90 minutes, but on paper it is clear that Brazil has a huge advantage over Croatia.
1543  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How important is fiat to Bitcoin? on: December 08, 2022, 03:32:10 PM
We are talking about how fiat money can be useful for Bitcoin at the moment just because fiat money system became predominant in the world. And Bitcoin was invented to grant a new alternative to it.
1 bitcoin = 1 bitcoin, but 1 bitcoin currently has a high value when exchanged to fiat. I think fiat is very important for bitcoin mainly because bitcoin is traded and has value in fiat, so the two are interrelated and need each other so the bitcoin economy is measured in fiat. Just like gold and other assets, its value will always be measured in fiat and always will be.

With no value in fiat, I never know what a bitcoin is actually worth even though bitcoin was created as a currency. Bitcoin value will differ for one currency or another, and that is how bitcoins have value.

I feel strange about the way your friends gamble, especially when determining the numbers to be drawn. Usually this kind of thing is just a factor of luck because in fact the lottery results are random numbers without the right rules and patterns, so the victory is absolutely due to luck regardless of how the player arranges the numbers.

Many lottery players in my country quite often believe in mystical, dreams or whatever they see in the environment. Sometimes it's right, most of the time it's wrong and they lose, but in the end it's just luck.

there are again two new funny cartoons... Cheesy
one shows K. Mbappe and his very strong performace (with 5 goals, 2 assists and 3x man of the match) and the second one shows the results of the surprise team from morocco and how the whole african continent is happy about the dark horses Smiley

Code:

I watched this match with friends last night, 99% of them were for Morocco while only a few of my friends were for Spain. Obviously the game didn't go as expected as Spain didn't create many goal chances, it's a shame. But I see 99% of these guys are happy Morocco made it through to the quarter finals in the end even though they had very strong opponents.

Either way dark horse photos are absolutely incredible. They made the perfect leap and became the African representatives currently receiving overwhelming support. I never thought Morocco would be this strong but I think they will soon find themselves weak against Portugal.
1546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 07, 2022, 03:20:16 PM
At least Napoli has shown that with good teamwork they have the potential to win as is happening at the moment they managed to get five wins in a row in the Serie A league. Hopefully they will succeed in becoming champions so as to provide a record for a team that cannot be beaten easily and always get victory.
If Napoli really manage to win the title this season, then obviously it will be new history for them. But I am very curious if they will be able to maintain their consistent form in the second half of the season, but really it is very difficult to predict. So far they have performed well unbeaten, but what is certain is that this record will be very difficult to maintain considering that the competition will be even tougher in the second half of this season.
1547  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Is Approaching $17000 on: December 07, 2022, 02:05:02 PM
Now the position of increasing and decreasing prices that occur in Bitcoin does seem to move in very small sizes and I personally also believe that the price of Bitcoin will bounce back to $ 17K+ in a matter of days. Because in the past few days I have seen a price chart that tends to be zigzag where it goes up and down in a matter of days and even in a matter of hours. And this is a sign that buying demand for Bitcoin has not increased so that the Bitcoin price also looks difficult to return to the price of $ 20K this month.
The trading volume of bitcoin during the month of December never got above $30 billion daily so this is a sign that the demand for bitcoin in the market is not increasing much even though in recent days the price has crossed $17k. While today's trading volume has increased 11% over the past day based on CMC, the bitcoin price is currently trading under $17K.

Bitcoin is still very likely to reach a price of $20K in December, but there should be some good news that will support the upside. Currently Brazil has started to legalize bitcoin as a means of payment, so I hope that will have a good impact on bitcoin and its price during December.

Dembele has answered all of his doubts well, his contribution to France in the world cup being a godsend for Barcelona. I also see that several Barcelona players have improved a lot during their time with their country in the world cup, Gavi, Pedri, Kounde and Ferran Torres have all made good contributions to their country. The elimination of Spain is also a blessing for Barcelona, its flagship players can return to training with other players who have not competed in the world cup. Xavi can do regular training to make his squad more compact to face the competition after the start of the League.
I hope Xavi is not too happy that Spain failed in the World Cup even though it would be very advantage for Barcelona, ​​but maybe there is a sense of satisfaction with the performance of his players who have maximized in this World Cup. Some players like Gavi, Pedri, Ferran, Balde, Alba, Busquets were the mainstays for Spain in the World Cup under Enrique and Xavi can be proud of their performance until the end.

Several other players such as Dembele, Kounde, Depay, De Jong will still defend their country in the quarter-finals. These four players are also important players for their country, so obviously Barcelona should be proud of what their players have achieved at this time. Some players will return to training with Barcelona, ​​but others are still fighting their way to the final.

well it looks like the first half will end pretty well for Portugal. Switzerland will be a bit depressed mentally in the second half. because the difference of two goals in the first round is a bad thing I think. Even I thought that in the second half Portugal would score again. But I hope in the second half CR will be played. because I support Portugal because there is CR in it. so if you see Portugal's match without CR, I think it will be a little boring. but to be honest the current line-up is also really good. but it would be better if there is CR.
The fans were expecting Ronaldo to play for this game but I don't know what made him get benched today by his coach. It looks like Ronaldo is quite ready to play, he celebrated Pepe's goal and that is a sign that he is not injured. Most likely Ronaldo will be played in the second half, so don't worry if you are one of his fans.

But anyway, I think Portugal is still playing well even without Ronaldo. The proof is that Portugal managed to lead the first half with two goals, so it's not really a problem if Ronaldo is saved for the next match.

A club like Real Madrid is very easy to bring in talented players and almost every player is interested in playing with Real Madrid. When other clubs are having trouble getting the Champions League trophy, Real Madrid can fulfill the players' dream of lifting the UCL trophy. Finding a suitable replacement for Benzema is not an easy job for Real Madrid (not that Real Madrid cannot get players with good talent), players who are brought in must have criteria that match the club's goals.
Players who have an instinct to score goals like Mbappe and Haaland really need Real Madrid, but Real Madrid already has a target when the transfer market opens.
Yes of course it's easy, many players are interested in Real Madrid but maybe Real Madrid is not interested in them. So far Real Madrid have only been interested in Mbappe, but they failed to reach an agreement at the end of last season as Mbappe extended his contract with PSG. Real Madrid may still be able to hijack him, but I'm not sure if they are ready to pay a heavy price for Mbappe.

Apart from Mbappe, I don't know who Real Madrid are interested in, but they have time to monitor one of them at the World Cup. Some players from Portugal, Brazil or other teams seem good for Real Madrid to sign in the next transfer window, but I'm sure Real Madrid won't sign more foreign players as strikers because they also need to consider Spanish players.
1551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 06, 2022, 07:30:50 PM
I don't understand the strategy of the Portuguese coach because Ronaldo was not added to the main players list, so I'm very disappointed because the round of 16 must win the game to advance to the semi-finals, I hope the coach has to add Ronaldo soon because he has to take advantage of time to win this round so it's easy get a ticket to the quarter-finals. (update: Portugal has won 1 goal).
Ronaldo may not be needed much for this game and it should be an opportunity for other players who are given a chance. Ronaldo looked fit to play but the coach didn't play him and maybe gave him a chance in the second half. But without Ronaldo, Portugal's game was also very good and now they managed to score one goal through Ramos.

I don't think Portugal will really be in trouble for this game because Switzerland is playing open. This match is much more exciting to watch than the previous Morocco vs Spain match. Switzerland looks like they could score too, so I hope Portugal don't underestimate them.
1552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: under-age gamblers on: December 04, 2022, 06:29:15 PM
I can tell you from experience that none of the gambling sites I used to register with offered me verification. That is, there were buttons confirming my age, but nothing more. So any underage user can play on gambling sites without any problem. And individual governments have no power to influence this. This is a really big problem with little mention of it.
So what if the casino asked them to fill out a KYC form, would these kids use someone else's KYC to pass?
I never thought it was proper practice to be able to gamble because basically forcing myself to play under the age of 18 is a clear offence.

I disagree about kids being able to gamble without any restrictions, even if they manage to cheat the casino with other people's data then it is really not recommended. But anyway the casino will not mind it as long as gamblers are able to complete KYC when it is needed at any time.
1553  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Strong Hands Are Buying on: December 04, 2022, 06:00:40 PM
You know the factors to consider when investing in bitcoin**, and those kinds of considerations could be accounted for when considering shitcoins or various other projects as well.. including ICOs, Defi, NFTs... and then sometimes if we are considering diversification, there is a difference between diversifying into different asset classes versus diversifying within the same asset class (if you might know the difference or that something in the asset class is sufficiently different or even worth investing into).
Diversification of investment assets may be a good option to pursue so that one can profit from several other assets besides just bitcoin. But I think right now it will be better when they focus more on bitcoin investing rather than diversifying assets into altcoin because the current bitcoin price has given them the opportunity to get it low price.

I wouldn't recommend an ICO, Defi or anything like that for anyone at this point other than just bitcoin. If they don't invest at this point where bitcoin has lost 75% of its value since ATH, then I don't know of another best time to do so. They can still invest in altcoin at any time, but it would be better if they don't miss out on investing in bitcoin as their main investment now.

1555  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Promotion and Adoption in my locality on: November 26, 2022, 07:39:37 PM
No matter with big or small business kinds I think Bitcoin keep worth when accepting as payment currencies, make easy when transaction actually adopted Bitcoin as payment way because costumer seems easy when have Bitcoin as alternative way for payment currencies.
Adoption is limited to regulation, meaning that the speed of adoption is very slow when your country's government does not legalize bitcoin as legal tender. Everyone also knows that bitcoin provides a lot of convenience in transactions, but you can't go against government regulations.

I don't know if the country and government where OP lives legalizes bitcoin as a means of payment, but if it is legal then the speed of adoption there will be even good.
1556  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Bitcoin changed my life on: November 26, 2022, 05:09:19 PM
Bitcoin has changed my life in the sense that it has given me great hope for humanity.  As a financial advisor I understand money, how it's made, distributed, stored etc.  I learned very early on in my career how corrupt banks are.  I found bitcoin in late 2013 and was hooked from the start. I worked on a trading floor at a very large financial company and everyone would see me reading stuff like "Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas, and I caught a lot of flack.  There was one guy on that floor though that had bought some Litecoin and we would talk crypto.  About a year after I left I got calls, text , emails from all those co-workers telling me "Okay I was wrong". I would simply reply telling them now that they are as skeptical, learn about it, and learn how it can change the freedom of our lives.

Plus the friendships and connections I've made has been awesome.  Making money is cool, but the other stuff matters far more.
Bitcoin offers financial freedom and decentralization. Better security and stronger privacy than fiat. However, not everyone can take advantage of this bitcoin advantage because government regulations have prohibited it. I cannot use bitcoins as a means of payment, but I am legal to trade them.

Bitcoin in general can make the economic status of its users change for the better, but only if they are able to take advantage of market volatility and become long-term investors. My finances are now arguably better off with bitcoin, probably most other people are too. Unfortunately I'm new to bitcoin in 2018, but I've never regretted it.
1557  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: November 26, 2022, 05:03:10 PM
Missed penalty from Saudi Arabia decided the match already in the first half. That was when their momentum went down and i was hoping for 1-1 and they just lost 2-0. They were better but just couldnt score some big chances missed and Poland and Lewandowski punished that and now this group is intresting.
In the end Poland really answered people's doubts in this match with a 2-0 win. Saudi Arabia had to lose and drop points in the second game, and this allows Argentina to take advantage if they win against Mexico. Saudi Arabia did dominate this match with a number of shots and attacks, but unfortunately they were unable to prove that by scoring goals.

I really hope that Argentina can take advantage of this defeat by Saudi Arabia to win the game, so 3 points will be very important today. I don't expect Argentina to underestimate Mexico, so this has to be the final for Argentina.
1558  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Rainbow Indicator drop on all time low on: November 26, 2022, 04:57:38 PM
Technically yes since it's an indicator but fundamentally I don't know if that's a reliable stuff to rely on. I may believe in it when we are near at the Bitcoin halving but I have doubts this time, maybe we can hit it multiple times outside that rainbow. We will never know.
The rainbow indicator in the OP has proven firsthand that bitcoin is on the right trend or track. But now this indicator makes people doubt that the same thing will still happen and the trend will be the same in the following years. The indicator broke maybe due to the collapse of Luna and FTX, but I believe we can still believe in the future and potential of bitcoin.
1559  Economy / Speculation / Re: How low will BTC's market price go? on: November 26, 2022, 02:25:53 PM
It is unlikely that early investors would lose faith in bitcoin if it suddenly became worth $5,000-7,000. Bitcoin in the last cycle fell to $3,100 and was also considered to be the end of the bitcoin era. Extremely low prices only deter market tourists and investors with little conviction. Diamond hands, it seems to me, will hold on to the last, and then sell their bitcoins to the general public at the next ATH.
I always believe a strong hand will be willing to be a holder for a longer period of time.
In fact I really believe they are not going to lose faith in bitcoin just because the Luna and FTX cases have had an impact on the bitcoin price.
For them bitcoin remains potentially more expensive in the long term and as you said, they will sell in the next ATH cycle and take huge profits.

It's up to them whether now many people have lost faith in bitcoin or not but I would have no doubt that bitcoin has a better future especially as the impact of the market will soon lessen over time. Buy bitcoin now and hold it is a better thought than just watching.

It wasn't really Xavi that signed Memphis,  I think it was Koeman who did. So, I don't blame Xavi if Depay doesn't fit into his pattern of play. Meanwhile the same Xavi is struggling to use Lewandowski and Rephilnah very well. It is not a matter of parking all star players together, but knowing how to use them resourceful will pay off.
It's true, Memphis Depay was recruited by Koeman to Barcelona but he has done what is best for Barcelona when Barcelona are still having trouble scoring goals in various matches. Barcelona lacked strikers before they bought Aubameyang, Ferran Torres and Adama Traure last season, but now they have many reliable strikers like Lewandowski and others.

If Barcelona's performance can be maintained in the second half of this season, then they will always lead the standings until the end. But it's difficult because the competition in Laliga is very uncertain.
