In the second half for Barcelona, they were still under pressure from the Betis players who were trying to break into the back defense of Barcelona. Almost a goal but the goalkeeper's save is quite good. It will be dangerous if Barcelona continues to be pressed and does not turn the situation around. And the pressure happens time and time again. Very curious about what steps Xavi will take to deal with this kind of pressure.
almost entered the 77th minute but no goals have been scored by both teams, it is clear that the strength of the two is balanced.  even with the inclusion of Aubameyang in the 66th minute it didn't produce good results for barca.  looks like the final score will be "draw".

edit, now the score is 1-0, ansu fati scored a beautiful goal in the 76th minute.

barca 1 - 0 betis

In our country, the inflation rate is continuously increasing. The unemployment rate is also increasing because some businesses and huge companies are filing for bankruptcy because of inflation. Corruption is getting worse and the people are being divided because of politics. As for me, the current situation in our country isn't getting any better and we're also affected by the war between Russia and Ukraine.
The impact of the war between Russia and Ukraine is also very much felt in my country, even the price of oil here has gone up 200%, this is really crazy while people's incomes are still not fully recovered because the pandemic is still lingering.  Governments in many countries (poor, developing and developed) are currently being forced to think hard about the fate of their citizens because it is their obligation as leaders elected by the citizens.

Recently Indian Finance minister N.Sitharaman said Money laundering, terror financing biggest concerns around cryptocurrency...
What can be the remedial step to address this concern.

https://www.bgr.in/news/fm-nirmala-sitharaman-says-biggest-risk-of-crypto-is-laundering-terror-financing-1259977/
he said that cryptocurrencies were used for money laundering and terrorist financing but he did not say that fiat had been used first for money laundering and terrorist financing.  this world will never be fair, let alone the government, they will find ways to destroy things that can interfere with their interests.  but we don't need to pay attention to this news because FUD about bitcoin like this has been around for a long time.

When you are using a centralized exchange, you are trading your privacy for convenience. Assume that everything that you share with them - your ID, your address, your photo, all your transactions and trading data, will be shared with third parties. It can be your own government, foreign government, private companies and so on. And you never know what consequences it can have, maybe someone will decide to "cancel" or prosecute you over a transaction you did 10 years ago?
i only have accounts on some exchanges that don't require KYC because for me personally, privacy is the most valuable thing of all.  i even often do P2P trading to avoid withdrawing funds from centralized exchanges.  as you said, we don't know what will happen in the next 10 years, it's bad luck if the mistakes we made in the past (following KYC) end up being prosecuted in the future.
1545  Economy / Economics / Re: Money and wealth as the major religions in world. on: May 07, 2022, 04:34:59 PM
Money or wealth is the dream destination of many people in the world

Religion is the total believe of a group people on a particular being.
Most or everyone in the world today in which I am included believe in accumulating of wealth and making money.

More than Half of the life span of the human race is centred on making of money or wealth.

Making money legally or illegally, accumulating of wealth is the believe of most people in the world.

I stand to be corrected or cencitize
Money has 2 sides, one side is good and the other side is evil.  i see money from the side of goodness, without money you can't possibly eat, take vacations, pay school fees, pay credit installments and pay for hospitals.  poor people say money is the root of evil but rich people say money is happiness.  never hate money, your family really needs it.
1546  Economy / Economics / Re: What would happen if Tesla decided to sell its Bitcoin? on: May 07, 2022, 04:13:42 PM
We all know Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter, but how to finance the deal is still unknown.
The billionaire sold some shares in Tesla and is trying to obtain loans from some banks.

Quote
Tesla chief executive Elon Musk has sold roughly $8.5bn (£6.8bn) worth of shares in the electric car maker, just days after he agreed to buy Twitter. The sale has led to speculation that it will help to finance his planned $44bn buyout of the social media platform.

Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-61255092

What would happen if Elon Musk decided to sell his Bitcoin? What will be its economic impact on the price of Bitcoin?
It's undeniable that when Elon sells all the bitcoins Tesla buys, what happens is the bitcoin price will drop drastically (maybe back to $20k).  Satoshi himself has written that it is the holders who regulate the market price, the more people hold btc, the better the bitcoin price because it will definitely increase market demand.
1547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PH banned online cockfighting - Worst gambling-related cases recorded! on: May 06, 2022, 11:40:23 PM
To be clear to you guys, cockfighting is not banned in the PH, only the "online betting" of cockfights was put to a halt. Maybe many Filipinos lack the discipline on gambling, that is why their life is so messed up right now due to online betting but for now, it is just a hear-say as no statistical data was released on the number of people whose life got messy because of this.

Election time is on the next day so this whole thing might be a setup so opposition candidates can somehow gain sympathy on the people if the government doesn't act on this one but they failed as the seating President is wise and takes the necessary steps to settle the issue, just my two cents.
if it's just a political promise then that's very bad, but i'm sure offline cockfighting will continue as usual because what I know in the Philippines is cockfighting is a type of bet that is very interested in.  not only cockfighting, but most gambling must make people who do it miserable and are addicted to it, need special support and attention from the government to be able to reduce the number of cockfighting gambling players in the Philippines.

Cryptocurrency investment also has some risks, currently most governments in the country do not have the same protections for cryptocurrencies as for real money in bank accounts.  However, if you want to succeed in changing your life, you have to take risks, because now I see bitcoin investing as having a high chance to be rich in the future.
You don't think that the government protects your money in the bank, they use your money to invest in other places.  only in bitcoin you become "your own bank", as long as you hold your password and private key wallet (a trusted hardware wallet or software Bitcoin wallet) then no one in the world, including the government, can use or take it.  investing in cryptocurrencies is the safest in the world.
1549  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you spread BTC to people within you on: May 06, 2022, 10:32:01 PM
Hello all,

As a lover of Bitcoin how do you spread Bitcoin, i mean how do you tell people about Bitcoin and it's adoptions?
To me i have held many discussions with friends in college with me, sometimes teaching them blockchain, the future of Bitcoin and why we should buy and hold Bitcoin, how the world will be in 5 years to 10 years to come. With this little meetings i have been able to share with my friends and also spread bitcoin to mates in college and i know they will do the same and if everyone does the same tell me what will be of Bitcoin today. So let us support Bitcoin max Adoption by telling people arounds us, bitcoin remains the future of money.
if you spread knowledge about bitcoin in campus discussions then i spread knowledge about bitcoin by accepting payments via bitcoin in my small business, there are also many consumers who ask about what bitcoin is but it seems the majority are still unsure about bitcoin and choose to just ask.  i still believe that one-day bitcoin will get bigger and the majority of people will hunt bitcoin.
1550  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Saved Me. on: May 06, 2022, 10:03:21 PM
After I lost my money on different investments, I was devasted but was introduced to crypto. I had no money but somehow I learnt a little on how to trade on Bitcoin. To my surprise, the little I learnt, I decided to start with 2,000NGN as that was all I had. To my surprise, following the guide I was given and with consistency, I started making profit from my trades and that brought smiles to my face. With Bitcoin, I have been able to recover thrice the money I lost to investments. Crypto (Bitcoin) is the way forward.
bitcoin price is very volatile and decentralized, it is not owned by any investment assets including gold or stocks.  i have also experienced losses from investing in stocks and gold, fortunately i was introduced to bitcoin and it made my life change 180%.  bitcoin has changed a lot of people's lives and that's what makes bitcoin such a miracle.
1551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa Conference League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Semifinals! on: May 06, 2022, 09:40:33 PM
Jose is known as the special one. That's because he knows what he is doing. Roma has just been revived and is ready to take off again. It is the first time in thirty years that Rome has reached an official final in the European Conference League with a team that can hardly be called ambitious or modest. Jose is expected to win the European Conference League for the first time.
European Conference League Final between Roma and Feyenoord will be a tough match to predict, Feyenoord's luck to get to the final i admit is very big, even a team as strong as Marshall can lose to them, Roma are a great team but if they underestimate Feyenoord then defeat will belong to Roma.
1552  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you really believe Satoshi is real?? on: May 06, 2022, 08:24:58 PM
satoshi is real but no one can confirm until now if he/she is a man, woman, organization/group, professor etc.  and my question is is it important for you the identity of satoshi because for me the legacy he/she gave (bitcoin) is the most important thing for all human beings.
1553  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Dogecoin become the new BTC? on: May 06, 2022, 07:59:33 PM
Is it possible that dogecoin can beat BTC after Elon musk takes over Twitter? Imagine if Dogecoin is well accepted throughout the world then BTC wouldn't this makes Dogecoin the new coin? This might sound too crazy to dream about but that Elon musk guy can make anything possible.
Dogecoin won't be that strong even though Elon includes a tip via Dogecoin feature on Twitter.  many influential people on twitter who are bitcoin maximalists, they will continue to fight shitcoin and memecoin because only bitcoin is real and decentralized.  Elon is just joking with dogecoin, nothing serious.

These and many more good news, and yet the price is falling to $42,000?

Patience is the key to make big profit with cryptocurrency. We need to keep hold, and try to buy more when the market is down. In the past when the market is found to be crashing people get into panic and starts selling. This will be used as an opportunity by the whales in the market. Nowadays this has changed, because people believe it'll bounce back after the drop in the price. As said the market movement is sideways, and there is no drastic crash which helps the traders to make profit.
That's right, it seems that people have started to understand that when the market crashes, they shouldn't panic and sell.  Sincerity and patience are the keys so as not to lose in the market, let it go (in the past) we did stupid things like panic sell.  the market will definitely be bullish and those who are patient will definitely get big profits.
1555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 05, 2022, 11:08:57 PM
Especially for Freiburg I mean because I don't remember them in the Champions League like any time in the past. It is a big opportunity for them to make it this season.

That is correct. Freiburg has never been played in the Champignons League before. They have played in the Europa League 4 times (twice under the old name UEFA Cup ), but have never gone far. Champignons League would certainly be a great experience for the players and the fans. But I don't think they will go far there.
leipzig are only 1 point away from freiburg and they must win from union if they want to continue to get tickets to the UCL next season.  UCL is the competition most coveted by all european clubs and freiburg should be able to secure 1 place for them in the UCL.  freiburg vs union : my prediction is 1-0 to win freiburg.
1556  Economy / Economics / Re: Making use of Bitcoin as payment in our business. on: May 05, 2022, 07:24:36 PM
  Making use of "Bitcoin" as another means of exchange In our daily business is my own opinion to improve our business strategy, if customer doesn't have money to pay after purchasing goods and any other business transaction, we should try and implement the means of Bitcoin payment and through this our business will improve in market and it will promote our business both in local and international way because the present century we are now is century of cryptocurrency...so my fans what do you suggest on my opinion!!!!
i've made a post on a topic that discusses this that i have a small business that accepts bitcoin payments, since i did that only a few customers made payments with bitcoin and also some altcoins because many people here are still skeptical about crypto.  not many people realize that paying with crypto is very easy and safe, I will continue to maintain accepting payments with crypto because it is more profitable for me.

Crypto has zero use in real world,took me a few years to realize this.
just like you there is no point in creating an account on this forum... we're just talking about Bitcoin, the emergence of bitcoin 12 years ago changed the human financial system, even just look at this now, many countries have recognized bitcoin as a currency. if you discuss "use" then don't compare bitcoin with gold or fiat money in physical form because bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that runs on the internet.

I also really hope that Real Madrid will win against City although this will not be easy. Final between England-Spain will be more interesting  Grin
Thank God, this really happen  Cheesy
Congratulations Real Madrid.
It's an epic comeback. It was very unpredictable that Rodrygo could score 2 goals in 2 minutes in sequence. And again, Benzema gave the decisive goal for the victory.
Actually, City also played very greatly. But, they might not guess what will happen at the last minute, they must be shocked enough.

And Liverpool, see you in the Final UCL.   Liverpool vs Real Madrid
i am also very happy with this madrid win, i put some bucks on madrid, at first i doubt madrid can win but it was a great epic comeback.  madrid vs liverpool in the final is will be a very crazy match, and i'm curious what big surprises will happen in the final.

although all of the above is good news for bitcoin, we can't guess inside the hearts of investors.  currently the market is "sideways" and very stable in the range of $36k to $42k and maybe this will last for the next few months even though there will be a lot of good news about bitcoin that appears.  imo this is still the best opportunity to continue buying bitcoin as a long-term investment.

I believe that players aged 18-19 can now take the field even in the starting 11 when the championship is guaranteed. Nothing will change for Bayern. The result will remain the same, the championship has become.  From now on, it's wise to give young players match experience as well.
agree with you, if you look at the current point acquisition, Bayern can't be shifted anymore, so playing young players in the remaining few matches will certainly not affect the results of the Bayern champions.  Bayern can't always depend on their old players, there are times when they will depend on young players.
