According to research note published by CryptoSlate.
The exchange, citing various data such as options skewness, portfolio adjustments and whale stocks, noted that the launch of the ETF is likely to boost the long-term price of Ethereum.
And as such investors are selling bitcoin in their possession, to acquire Ethereum and I begin to doubt the future of bitcoin!
I don’t know how true it this because I don’t think Bitcoin holders will sell their they have in their portfolio for Ethereum; they will rather stop investing in Bitcoin for now to stock more Etherum in their portfolio.
If the Ethereum ETF is lunched, there is a possibility that Ethereum will get more value than it gets now, and anyone that hold Ethereum will gain profit; but all these acts are to take people’s attention off Bitcoin which is not possible in my opinion because Bitcoin is the pioneer Crypto coin and any other coin will follow its suit.

Nothing last forever, but Bitcoin decentralized system dose not look like something that will fade out soon because all the systems are well designed so that no any third party can temper with it.
Miners will exist because there is an assurance that once you intend to stop mining, some people will replace and everyone that hold Bitcoin can create nodes to keep Bitcoin going.

However, there are also potential risks and uncertainties that could impact Bitcoins existence, such as:

1. Regulatory changes or bans in various countries.
2. Competition from other cryptocurrency or alternative technologies.
3. Security threats or 51% attacks on the network.
4. Loss of public interest or confidence.
These reasons are not close to enough to get Bitcoin down, in fact I am not seen them as potential risks that will affect Bitcoin.
Not any coin can compete with Bitcoin because they are copying from it. Bitcoin will always gain more interest from the general public.

Who would have thought that Riccardo Calafiori would become a hot topic for the big European teams and now Arsenal is also hunting for him. Mikel Arteta has approved the club's plan to recruit him and maybe this transfer will go well considering Arsenal has a good relationship with Bologna. Riccardo Calafiori is priced at 50 million euros and it looks like Arsenal can still negotiate that fee down a little.

On the other hand, Chelsea are reportedly also interested in him and they are offering to add additional players to Bologna as a transfer agreement for Riccardo Calafiori. This Bologna central defender seems quite interesting because previously Liverpool and Real Madrid were also interested in him and let's see which of these teams will manage to get him.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1808500516936167440
I saw a report from Fabrizio Romano that Arsenal are pushing hard to sign. Riccardo Calafiori, and I also see that Chelsea is interested in signing him to strengthen their defense.
Arsenal is looking for backup for their left back and right back position, they also want to provide some rest for William Saliba and Gebriel Mangalas which is why they are trying to sign him so that one of these defenders can be having some rest because Saliba played almost all matches last season, so if Arteta did not sign a replacement, Arsenal will suffer if Saliba went injured.

Chelsea on the other also need a defender following Tiago Silva’s retirement from football, if they can get Calafiori, they will be free from defensive threat and they can confidently avoid conceding much goals.

Arsenal is trying to avoid anything that can stop their title ambition next season, that is why they are trying to cover every lapses they had in the previous season.

Each of the teams that have qualified for Round 8 is much stronger. As we have this game between Spain and Germany many are in doubt as to which team will win and many are undecided on which team to bet on here. But we will surely see an interesting message between these two teams as both teams are strong enough and this match is likely to be a draw. But for my part, I think Spain has the best chance of winning against Germany, and I think Spain will qualify for the semi-finals in this match. I made this prediction though, because Spain is a much stronger team than Germany, in which case Spain will attack hot enough to beat Germany.
Spain have a good team that consist of you talented players, while Germany also have young talented players that are backed and supported by experienced players. Their quarter final battle will not be easy for them all, but one team have to win. My prediction goes to Germany to win Spain because of the following reasons:
They are the host country
They have improved their performance in this tournament compared to the World Cup
They have good quality world class experienced players that can lead their team to the right path

I am not underrating Spain, I know they can also do better, but I am just feeling that they can’t withstand Germany in this stage of the competition.

It seems Manchester City made a weird decision and they agreed to sell Ederson, their goalkeeper. Ederson has many achievements in Manchester City with Pep Guardiola.
They won the Premier League four times in raw and I'm sure their goalkeeper, Ederson, had an effective role in this team. However, he is still a 30-year-old player and he can achieve more titles.
But it seems Manchester City will accept the offers for Ederson if they have any good offer, while it seems Saudis are interested in hiring Ederson for a huge amount of money.


I studied Pep Guardiola and I noticed that he don’t like average players and old players. Despite his performance and contributions to the team, I noticed that Pep Guardiola is not regularly starting Ederson towards the end of the season, he usually starts Stefan Ortega is some matches, while he ply Ederson in most important matches because he needs the experience in the team to make sure they have the best performance.

I don’t think selling Ederson is a wrong decision because if he stays, he will have less playing time and will not get a good club if he stays more than one year in Manchester City, if he leaves now, he will have good teams that will be willing to sign him because he have some experience while playing at Manchester City.

If both teams perform better and they do not meet in the quarter-final or semi-final, they will definitely meet in the final. So, it is very possible for both teams to meet in the final. The season that Chelsea won their last Champions League was a season almost everyone was expecting Real Madrid and Manchester City to play in the final, but in the semi-final, Real Madrid lost to Chelsea. At last, it was Manchester City and Chelsea that played in the final. But let’s see what will happen next season; maybe they will finally meet.

Just as many people were expecting Manchester City Vs Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final last season, and the draws changed the narrative, that might be how this season’s draw will be because draws are not predictable especially in the Champions League.

Draws used to favor some teams which is exactly the scenario you explain of Chelsea winning their second Champions League title, there were lucky and they used their opportunities well which they letter defeated Manchester City in the Champions league final.

In the next coming Champions League season, many teams need to be given attention because Madrid will hardly win the competition again next season, I am expecting Arsenal to do something on the next coming season.
167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: July 02, 2024, 09:59:09 PM
Real Madrid veteran players are very skillful and better than other players that are playing for other clubs. At a very gold age, Real Madrid players can fit into other teams because they do not sign average players but skillful ones. Real Madrid has produced many balloon d'or winners because of the way the club is structured to play. Some people think that Real Madrid are buying the award for their players but it is not true but because of the ways the teams is structured to play. Real Madrid has a very good scouting team that mostly buys players that can be world best players. Real Madrid teams has two players fighting for the the ballon d'or award not because they were the best players but because they play in a system that makes every quality player to be extraordinary. Real Madrid is good at developing young talents.
Currently, they are the best team in the world not just in the Laliga. They have won 15 Champions League and are always favorites because of their quality players that is why their players do easily win the Ballon D or.

They are not good in raising young talented players, they prefer a player that has already showed the world his talent to come and play for them for the benefit of the team, they hardly promote academy players because the big names in the squad will not be dropped for young players to show their talent.

Mbappé is a ready made player that has showed the world his qualities that’s why they signed him because they need him to make more history for the club, and as we speak, Barcelona did not have any good team that can challenge Madrid in the next coming season, therefore, I am expecting Ballon D or from Madrid player next season.

It was an unforgettable night for us.  Smiley  I thought we would have huge difficulties against Austria after examining their game until this match. However we started really strong by an early goal. After that we did our best defending in the tournament so far in the 1st half. We preferred to focus on maintaining the score advantage later. Austria were really dangerous but our goalkeeper did an amazing job. Now Netherlands is our opponent in the quarter finals. I hope this fairytale doesn't end in this round.  Roll Eyes
I never underrated Turkey since the beginning of the tournament, and them qualifying ahead of Australia is surprising but they deserve it because they put in more effort to defend themselves.

Nevertheless; the competition has so far been an interesting one, we have seen surprises from several team up till this stage, I think it is time for Champions to prove themselves.

At this junction, I don’t know who to support but I will be supporting Germany because I am expecting some good results from them especially as they are the host of the tournament.
Agin, England despite their poor performance so far might make it to the final too.
169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: July 02, 2024, 09:50:10 PM
I'm wondering about the way Chelsea will start the new season. Chelsea is the team I'm a fan of in this league. However it has been really sad to see them in this condition for years. They have a lot of money now also but they are still lost.  Sad  Enzo Maresca is a manager with not much experience. This is why I'm nervous about his first season.

Chelsea spend too much but they still get no good result. Additionally, maybe if Boehly gets a little more patient with managers they will get better results in time.

Some managers make an immediate effect and some need 2 or even 3 seasons to start doing good work. How successful do you expect Enzo Maresca to be?  Huh
I think the new Chelsea management has learn a lot within the space of three years since they took over from Abrahamovic; they will now understand that money is not everything you need, you also need to be patient and make the right decisions before making it big.

I am very sure that the next coming season will be a bit better than the previous ones since they have change coach and the new head Foch Enzo Maresca is a good coach that have some partial Premier League experience and a coach that can cope within short period of time since he has learned somethings with Pep during his stay at Manchester City; but next season might not be their best season, but their performance will definitely improve.

What is your most important pro Bitcoin argument?
We know many Altcoins want to be better compared to Bitcoin but have failed so far
Please share here and also add a short comment why it is your most important Bitcoin argument.
Altcoins do have time, the time they have hype, and after that it is gone; if you are among the investors during the hype, you will get huge profit from the project, while if you invested late, you still have to depend on Bitcoin price movement to determine your profit or loss. It is better to from investing in Bitcoin than Altcoins that has already made name.

The Answer you your question “why Bitcoin and not Altcoin” is security of your capital. Bitcoin gives you peace of mind because it is transparent and decentralized, while Altcoins are centralized and can collapse at anytime.
171  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Failed DCA Strategy When Buying Bitcoin on: July 01, 2024, 09:41:49 PM
But it is true, people who use the wallet have failed in their Investments, in theory the DCA does not fail, but what fails is the Investment, he does not hold long enough, investment failure does not mean failure in the staretginya, it's just that people who use wallets do not have great patience, maybe if today he has a very extraordinary profit especially when bitcoin hits its latest ATH.

The DCA is correct by using the daily timeframe, and no one has failed in the DCA. IMO
The DCA did not fail the investor, the investor failed to be patient which is the main reason why you think that the method of investment which is DCA failed him.
Investing through DCA means you as an investor wanted to hold your Bitcoin for a very long period of time, but if you intend to sell at any point, you failed your investment because you will  or might sell at loss which is the exact scenario the OP explained.

What a poor performance by Italy!  Sad  They changed very much in 4 years since Euro 2020, but in a negative way unfortunately. They couldn't do much today.
What do you expect from a team of average players; the Italian side have no any big name in their squad, only El Sharawy that has been out of European top teams for a while; I blame the cosch for setting out like this to face a whole Switzerland that have quality players like Xhaka and Akanji in their defense.

Quote
Congrats to Switzerland fans at the same time of course. They played fearlessly, without hesitation. They were really good in the group stage already you know. That was a sign they weren't joking at all.  Smiley  From now on we are all going to concentrate on the last game of the night. I assume many of you are expecting Germany to win without doubt just like me.
The deserve to beat Italy because they have good performance since the beginning of the competition. Congratulation Switzerland, they are making the tournament more interesting.
Switzerland will be waiting for either England or Slovakia in the quarter final.

Italy is playing like shit in this match and they lack creativity. Itay players hardly hold the ball for two seconds, instead they will pass it to their opponents. Switzerland is dominating the match and they have missed so many chances of finding the back of the net. Ity defense is porous, Switzerland gets in easily but no goal yet. Ity is depending on a counter attack but they are too weak for Switzerland who is playing them half field. I never expected a poor performance from Italy in the first half. Let me see the magic that Italy will use to qualify to the next round. It is still goalless.
Currently, Italy is playing like a team with no experience, they have no shot in the match both on and off target, despite their number of quality players in their squad, I don't think they stand a chance to win this match unless if they score a goal before the end of the first half because with the way Switzerland midfielders are defending this game, I am sure they will like to maintain and more goals before the end of the first half.

Though Italy are solid in their defense but they have to find a way to be putting the ball at the back of the net. Scoring goals is their major problem, they have to be at their best if they want to win. But for me I think under 2.5 goals is very likely to play out and that's what I have already played this particular game in my bet slip. As for Germany and Denmark, I'm giving Germany a direct win. Germany has lots of advantage. It's their home country and they will fight the same way they have been fighting during the group stages, and so far they haven't shown any sign of weakness and they don't have major injuries concern, so I don't see what's going to stop them from progressing.
Their solid defense couldn't stop a goal from the Switzerland attackers, and the Italy defenders are not well coordinated since because they have already conceded a goal with two shots on goals in the first half, meanwhile their attack are yet to register a shot in the match
175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers👉Group Stage on: June 29, 2024, 12:56:07 PM
Today

Switzerland
Italy
   
Germany
Denmark

On the paper these are 2 easy game, expecially the second one.
Italy already found a defeat in recent year in elimination stage by Switzerland, can be this the second time?

Easy games?
I doubt so mate, because both of the matches have uncertain predictions because of their previous head to head.

Switzerland Vs Italy:
Five matches played together was four draw and a win from Italy, this shows that Switzerland is not as weak as may expect bacuse Switzerland is a team that also have quality players that are rated high in the general European football especially Granit Xhaka.

While Germany Vs Denmark game is something that cannot also be easily predicted: Germany on paper have good squad with quality players than Denmark, but if we make reference to Statistics, their chances are similar because they are all playing well against easy other even though Germany on two out of their last five matches they played together in which the rest are draw.

Bringing in Antony at a large cost but with minimal contribution. When the coach's wishes are fulfilled by the amount of money that Manchester United spent when bringing in Antony, it could be proof that their management is serious about realizing Erik ten Hag's wishes.
Previously the management agreed to a large fee, they must have believed in the coach's choice that the player was good. In fact not and we feel that the coach's strategy is not good.
Last season, it wasn't the recruited players who played a role, but academy players like Garnacho and Mainoo.
For me not to completely criticize Ten Hag, I will only agree that he is a good coach, but Manchester United is too big for him to manage.

Just as you said, Manchester United management gave him all the chances he needed and all the support he will need just to sign his desired players, he signed them and they couldn’t perform up to expectations, and the main problem is that, the players he met that are doing well for the team, his personal relationship with them made them leave the team which has caused the team a lot of downfall.

I don’t want him to be sacked now because even if he is sacked, I don’t think there is any good manager out there that can take Manchester United back to its past glory.
All we have to hope is a better season if Ten Hag is given more money to sign more players.

 Juventus does not have enough squad depth to play well throughout the season, Motta will not be able to change this without good transfers. And I'm not sure if just one successful season with Bologna is enough to expect him to succeed at Juventus. I think that the days of Juventus' dominance in Serie A are over, a number of mistakes led to them allowing other teams to become champions.
When I check the Juventus squad, I see that Thiago Motta have a lot of work to do if him and the Juventus management wants a better season ahead; they have good striker and some average wingers in the squad that can still be good for the team and can be relied on, but they ok quality midfielders that can feed these strikers and wingers ball to make something good for the team, and if they didn’t sign more players, they will not perform well in the next coming season specially as they have more competitions to play next season.

Arsenal looks like they are taking things a bit slow, but if they want to win the league then they need to do a lot better and they need to get some more players that can help them. Mainly rotation players which would be starters in any other team, that is the hardest thing to acquire for a big team.

Players would like to play, they would rather get full playing time at Everton, then not play a single minute at Arsenal, unless the money difference is huge of course. Most players like a chance to show themselves, so that means if you want to get a great player and tell him that he is going to be a bench player and only sub in if they ever need him, you are going to mostly fail. City does it very well, Arsenal needs to start doing it.
Arsenal management is not taking it slow, you know the nature of Arsenal transfer, they don’t have too much money to spend quick form players, they do make sure the player worth the amount they are buying him which is why they lose a lot players to other rival teams. They lose Mykhalo Mudryk to Chelsea just because of money, and I know they are not regretting the actions because the Trossard they signed on his behalf performed very well.

They want to add more scorers to their squad, they are trying everything possible to get a reliable striker and a support to some players like Saka, Odegard and some other important positions that will help them lift trophy next season, and I am sure with the performance Arsenal display last season, they should overtake Manchester City in the next coming season to win the Premier League.

PSG owner Nasser Al Khelaifi has been admitted that losing Mbappe is huge lost for PSG because since joining to PSG for almost 7 years he always being an important player for this team and Mbappe statistics in PSG also very fantastic because from 308 matches Mbappe has been scores total 256 goals in all competitions and if we seeing to these records we can see Mbappe has important role to help PSG to gets several domestic trophies so it's normal if PSG owner Nasser Al Khelaifi has been said lost Mbappe will have huge impact for PSG performance next season
Even without the PSG owner admitting that losing Mbappe is a huge lost, we all know what it takes to lose such a great player in a team; he will leave with so many things which include some fans that are supporting the team just because of him and some players that were very compatible to him. The owners need to be patient, they have nothing to worry about in terms of their team’s performance because League 1 is not as tough as other leagues, and PSG will still dominate the League because they stand as the team with great and world class players among other teams on the league.

I think PSG has entering new era now because their star players gradually leave them from Messi, Neymar and the latest is Mbappe so it's interesting to see for next season the performance of PSG without Mbappe and for Luis Enrique i am sure he will think about how PSG can do well in the Champions League and in Ligue 1 without Mbappe and one of the way is bought some star player as the replacement of Mbappe but it won't be easy to find the right player because the quality of Mbappe is one of the best in the world
The main reason for them to sign all this players in the first place was because of the Champions League, and as they all failed to bring it to the team, they have to leave because the team cannot keep paying them huge amount of money without getting their desired result.
PSG’s Champions League performance next season will reduce, they will not go far as they used to go before now, because they lose some players, but they can still do well if the coach manages the team well.
