Barcelona won't have too much of a problem with this but the problem may be in Madrid because if they continue like this then the momentum to catch the deficit goal will obviously be even more difficult. Madrid need to do more than this to create chances and catch up.
The first half ended with Madrid ahead, scored by Vini in extra time.
This is a real hope now for me because I still believe in Madrid to win this match.
But when reflecting on previous matches, Barcelona also fell behind first but they were always able to get up and turn things around so this still needs to be anticipated more by Madrid. But now at least Madrid are not bothered by the aggregate as they are 1-1 on aggregate and the second half will definitely be more interesting as both teams will now have to do some schemes to make it a win for them.

Advertising is still very possible to boost their popularity in this case because it is quite clear that when they succeed in making their advertisements last a certain amount of time then the possibility of them being seen will also be very real.
On the other hand this is also to grow reputation because of course apart from those who do have to make a good casino reputation is also quite important and in this case when they successfully continue to run advertisements and successfully pay for it then indeed it can also be a more condition where they have money to run their business and gamblers certainly don't need to worry too much even though the risk is still there.

You are doing a very brave thing in this case because making a big decision like this definitely takes courage to do even if it is for the purpose of buying bitcoins that are worth it.
That is 1 btc that is indeed a dream, I also want that but indeed my conditions may be quite different because I am not too brave like this by trying to borrow from the bank and pay installments every month. I am now still trying to collect 1 btc but still in the same way as before DCA because indeed this is the action that I think is most suitable for the current conditions even though it can indeed be done like you did but I don't want to go straight like that because I think dealing with loans, especially in terms of banks, is a little troublesome in my opinion.


It can be said that borrowing money to invest is not advisable, but if someone is confident that they will be able to repay the loan even if their investment is not favorable, then they can borrow. We should have calculations to suit our circumstances and have reasonable plans.
If you do not have a stable job or your income is not high, you should not imitate others to borrow money to invest in bitcoin. There are many ways to achieve 1BTC without having to borrow money, as long as you persevere and work hard every day, you will reach the goal.

Front loading can make the achievement of the goal more certain, and I am not even talking about having to pay off the proceeds from the appreciation of the BTC price.

We can change some of the circumstances of OP (we do not even know all of the terms of the loans, exactly), but to suggest that a couple of loans are entered into that allow for the buying of BTC at $20k, and the payment terms could allow the payment over a couple of years or even over 5 years, so it may well be a good idea to lock in the buying of 1 BTC and then to just pay off the loan in whatever the period might be between 2-5 years (and it seems OP's terms were not so favorable, but if the term was 5 years.. then payments could be spread out for those 5 years, and for sure 1 BTC is achieved).. Part of OP's problem seems to be an expectation to pay off the loan with the appreciation of BTC rather than with other cashflow that he might have.

This indirectly comes back to everyone's strategy. Even though borrowing money is actually not wrong as long as we are able to be accountable but this goes back to the strategy and level of courage of course.
I think borrowing as you say is still possible with a long enough duration it will most likely be very worthy of profit but the problem is when we go back to everyone's strategy and perspective obviously this will consider right and wrong depending on how we respond to it.
I personally don't really like this method but it is still feasible, it's just that I choose another way to fatten my portfolio by means of DCA and of course taking advantage of the momentum in every downturn.
Regardless of whether debt is recommended or not I think everyone has their own perspective and as long as it is within reasonable limits and the goal is for btc I will like it Cheesy

In fact, maybe this is intended only to increase confidence in gambling, because in this case I still feel that there is no truly best time to gamble, which can be proven.
Gambling is just how you get lucky there regardless of the time or strategy for some bets I don't think matters too much.

I never use a certain time to gamble because I only do it when I want to gamble and indeed in this case maybe I am too monotonous but on the other hand for gambling I am always often at the sportsbook so for matches it is clear that I adjust the time a few minutes before competing in betting .
1566  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Females domination in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies on: April 04, 2023, 07:25:50 PM
I still think that in this case it is not important whether it is a woman or a man because as long as they contribute well it will be considered very good too.
The issue of gender differences like this doesn't exist for cryptocurrencies, I think because indeed in this case, as long as they are able to be in cryptocurrencies and as long as they contribute, they will receive praise according to the portion of what they do.
There are some women that I know from the steps they always take like Ria Bhutoria who is currently the research director of Fidelity Digital Assets or maybe Kristin Smith who runs the Blockchain Association.
1567  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: are you still strong holding btc on: April 03, 2023, 08:28:10 PM
I always remind myself that I'm going to be in bitcoin for a few years and of course the issue of whether or not I'm strong enough to hold is decided by myself although for now I've made a small profit after doing a DCA of $15k but I think that's only a small part of the enjoyment compared to continuing to hold until my target is reached.
Now bitcoin is still in a position where I will continue to do DCA because in this case I also always convince myself that I will buy until the price is around $30k.
There is no rush to bring in profits as this is an asset for my future Smiley
1568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 03, 2023, 08:06:59 PM
Yep, I was thinking the same thing because I also lost money in this gamble and of course others will also not be much different considering that losing like this especially with a striking score is definitely not expected.
On the other hand for the Champions League I think the conditions will not be much different even though the possibility for Milan increases but on the other hand the favorite remains Napoli only they need to make some precautionary steps in their scheme so that defeats with quite striking scores like this do not repeat themselves.
Milan's win actually won't have much effect on Napoli's title chances this season, it's still safe, but Milan's win is important.
Napoli's worries are likely to increase about Milan especially in the Champions League, that's because Milan has the potential to make more of a difference to its Champions League chances.

In that match, Napoli were too weak in defense and they gave Milan a lot of space to take advantage of. Rafael Lećo is in great shape, he's really excited about this win at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Thus, Milan managed to get a safe position in the standings with 1 point away from Inter and Roma. Indeed, it is not completely safe, but at least the victory over Napoli will change many things from the player's confidence.
This does not have any impact on the championship because regardless of losing or winning Napoli's condition remains comfortable but indeed the concern from the beginning was about how they were in the Champions League although in this case I remain confident in Napoli.
Quite agree with saying Napoli's defense was very poor in this match, they always lost duels like when Diaz managed to outwit two Napoli players and make a comfortable assist for Leao and like when the last goal scored by Alexis Saelemaekers even he outwitted 5 Napoli players at once before managing to score the 4th goal.
1569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 03, 2023, 04:34:43 PM
Now it's 0-4 in favor of Milan Cheesy

what happened to this? there must be a lot of losing bets in this fight. Napoli were the favorites at home but they were thrashed by many goals by Milan. this is Milan's revenge on Napoli when they lost to Napoli at home and now Milan destroys Napoli. with 4 goals.
it looks like the predictions for the Champions League will also change again when Milan's performance gets a better boost. after the last few games without a win, Milan doesn't seem to want to be moved from the top 4.
Yep, I was thinking the same thing because I also lost money in this gamble and of course others will also not be much different considering that losing like this especially with a striking score is definitely not expected.

Napoli is not what many people expect. The score is 0-3 now and it's been a really bad day even though this doesn't have any impact but the score is still too big.
In terms of mastery, they are good and the opportunities they have are actually quite good, it's just that without finishing there, it's clear that this is really not too comfortable. Well I lost the bet on this match.


Now it's 0-4 in favor of Milan Cheesy
This is really not very good for betting and I had to lose my money in this one game although it is also not very absorbing because of the advantages of betting in other matches but still this is very unfortunate.
Napoli really seemed to be played in this game, they didn't learn from the counterattacks that Milan always did because some players were always late to return.
On the other hand, what happened to Milan today? They were completely different from usual.

I read some news about De Gea who was indeed stalling for time with this contract. On several occasions Ten Hag is actually trying to reduce the gap in player salaries by wanting to spend 200k-300k but De Gea's current salary is 375k which is indeed one of the highest paid players at Manchester United.
There is other news that says that currently Manchester United are also approaching Gregor Kobel from Borussia Dortmund. But until now De Gea still says Manchester United is his top priority.
De Gea seem to be bent on continuing and possibly ending his career at Manchester United, David De Gea has been outstanding for Manchester United in years past and still continuing his legacy at the club and has made his feelings known to the club that he wishes to continue in United jerseys, I think it is not a bad idea because even at his age he is still saving United, making vital saves to secure wins and keeping them in games, I think he deserves to be rewarded with an extension.
That is indeed very good, but the problem is that for now there is still no further discussion about this and it seems that De Gea is also holding back a little because of the salary reduction.
His current contract is ending and he still hasn't had any real and serious talks, even though we don't really know what's going on behind the scenes, but until now the media haven't reported on this, so we still have to wait.
On the other hand, Manchester United also currently needs to improve the quality of their strikers. I think that based on Weghorst's current performance, Weghorst still hasn't had a real impact, which makes him a little lacking in attack moves.

Actually, in this condition, the Halving is really a great hope to encourage most people to be here.
Looking at some of the previous conditions of the Halving although I am still not too familiar with it but it is indeed very possible for a big push to occur.
Expecting too much about this is certainly not very good, but the expectations are obviously very high if you look at the current conditions. Let's hope that hope comes true.
1574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 01, 2023, 10:44:34 PM
I get that Elche is not the best of teams but I have to give it up for Barcelona. Xavi took a lot of risk in rotating his squad but  that did not hinder them from showing their dominance in the game. Barca played better all round. This is the first game this season that Barca have played with a rotated squad in La Liga and they have not struggled. The first half looked shaky but there was no doubt that Barcelona will win the game. The second half was a whole different ball game from Barcelona.
I expected Elche to do better than they did since a new coach just joined them and they had the advantage of the being at home. It did not count as Barcelona ensured that they get all three points. This is the only competition that Barcelona are still competitively involved in, so they surely take it seriously and it showed. Ansu Fati had a good game and he will be happy starting and scoring. For Lewandoski, he is on a personal race to ensure he keeps scoring and the maintain the high standard he had at Bayern.

Next season in the Champions League will be better for this Barcelona team.
It is difficult to do something like that especially when the opponent they face is Barcelona, which is certainly very different in terms of quality and perfrorma.
Even if they change a few coaches, their players are still far inferior when compared to Barcelona in this match.
The first half was actually very good for Elche, it's just that the second half was really very bad for them and this has been predicted from the start the results will be like this.
1575  Economy / Economics / Re: Is risky to invest this period on: April 01, 2023, 09:43:47 PM
From the look of things bitcoin price will not come up soon, I guess is better to hold on till when it will show strong signal before putting in money again to escape losses and people who their investment is long over due are already victims of the Price dropping. We should try to be careful this period that bitcoin has not direction. Imagine a friend investment $2000 but what is currently left in his wallet is $400, and the deep is still bearing down the nuds.
Wait a minute! I'm still trying to understand correctly what you mean about investing in bitcoin. Your friend started investing with $2000 and has $400 left in his wallet.

How could this happen, if the investment assumptions he made were based on authorized capital, did he panic and sell when the bitcoins were under capitalized. if this assumption is correct, then actually it is not bitcoin that is experiencing a bad period, but your friends who do not understand bitcoin investment patterns. During the correction period, your friend can be patient and not sell bitcoins, so he doesn't have to feel the loss like you mentioned. That is why it is important that before investing anyone should study the pattern.
I also thought about this but when said thinking positively most likely he invested at a much higher price and maybe even before the price of bitcoin fell but for now if it is done below the price of the last few months it feels this is not possible especially for now bitcoin has also increased a few percent from before which is indeed if you look at the price now.
But on the other hand, if you invest in altcoins it makes more sense but if it's bitcoin it feels a little doubtful if only $400 is left.
1576  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: April 01, 2023, 08:27:38 PM
El Salvador did manage to attract a lot of attention by adopting BTC as legal tender sometime back, but that didn't really improve their economic situation in a big way based on what I observed.

Many tourists think twice before going there due to moderate crime rate and their statements about low crime rate are utter nonsense. The OHCHR stated their concerns too regarding these issues recently.

It will probably take a miracle for them to become a BTC centered tourist friendly nation.

Sounds like you are "eating up" the propaganda, no?  Are you saying anything that makes sense?  Do you know the subject matter well enough to proclaim that El Salvador is currently failing and is going to continue to fail?  It surely does not seem that the facts are sufficiently on your side, and you are largely just spouting out conclusory claims that are from hostile international entities that do not like the idea of El Salvador attempting to employ some sovereignty through attempts at getting its financial house in order, and surely any country (or even any institution or any individual) who might start out by getting into bitcoin, but they might have debts or they might be in a bad financial situation, it can take a wee bit of time for things to get turned around (such as getting into an improving state), and you seem to be ready to judge both current failure and also continued failure and that really does not seem to line up with actual facts on the ground... at least you have not really backed up your assertions of El Salvador's supposed failure - beyond that it is your opinion and your speculation.
In this case I quite agree because saying they failed is also something that can be considered wrong.
Speaking with tourist conditions there, when we look at statistics in the tourism industry in 2022 they actually increased quite rapidly even up to 30 percent since adopting bitcoin. On the other hand, their crime rate statistics (Murder) also from 2020 have decreased dramatically and of course something new happened earlier this year they managed to pay off bonds worth US $ 800 million plus interest from bitcoin. This is the fact that with the adoption of bitcoin they are not completely at a loss and in fact this is a real improvement.

What is this? 26 minutes in and it's already 3-0 to Bayern. Is the current Bayern with Tuchel at the helm that scary or are Dortmund just not playing well.
I thought it was going to be interesting at first with the back and forth between each other but with the way things are now I feel like it's a massacre for Dortmund in this match.
The match is still very long, but the mentality of the Dortmund players is already quite broken with these 3 goals.

Tuchel's first job was pretty good especially with Dortmund enough to add their confidence that it fits perfectly with the new coach's strategy and his evidence 3-0 early in the first half convinced Bayern Munich would be satisfactory even though there was time in the second half to go ahead.

It seems that Bayern Munich's management did not make the wrong decision after sacking the previous team, but now Tuchel is just the beginning of their long journey, especially how he made a career in the champions league with Bayern Munich, of course this will be very much looked forward to.
Yep this is not wrong especially seeing their condition they are actually very good it's just that in this match I was quite surprised by what Dortmund did especially I felt they were finished after 3-0 but I really like their persistence even though in the end they still lost this match.
On the other hand even though this is quite good it seems like Tuchel still needs further adaptation because seeing from the possession of the ball that they usually always dominate this is a little lost even though like that this is a big match that is very worth watching.

What is this? 26 minutes in and it's already 3-0 to Bayern. Is the current Bayern with Tuchel at the helm that scary or are Dortmund just not playing well.
This fixture was expected to be a tough start for Tuchel, but he has eaten this already, It looks like he has been with the team all along. This Bayern Munich will become the team he wanted Chelsea to become under him, he already has a great set of players to work with. The improved changes in the team play is obvious and it is just the first game they have Tuchel. There will be more goals definitely for Bayern Munich in this game, I will like to see Musiala, Mane and Gnabry play. With how Bayern are playing now, it is difficult to not see Bayern in the finals of the Champions league.

Tuchel is enjoying a great game, but the club that sacked him for another coach are doing terribly, Chelsea's loss!
A very good start indeed in this match, especially since they are quite compatible and understand what Tuchel instructs and this is a plus for Tuchel.
For now the Bundesliga is safe for them even until the end of the season I think the rest is just how Tuchel faces another big match in the Champions League.

David de Gea looks like he is happy at Manchester United now and he is willing to extend his contract sooner rather than later.

However his contract is ending on June 2023 and I still don't see any offer by Manchester United to keep him longer. There has been even some speculations like they will be in search of another goalkeeper and after that they will make their final decision about de Gea. Honestly I wouldn't recommend them to lose a great goalkeeper like him. He is still very impressive with his saves this season. He has played a big role in many games by preventing point losses for his team. They don't need a new main goalkeeper.
I read some news about De Gea who was indeed stalling for time with this contract. On several occasions Ten Hag is actually trying to reduce the gap in player salaries by wanting to spend 200k-300k but De Gea's current salary is 375k which is indeed one of the highest paid players at Manchester United.
