The freekick goal looked amazing, I will agree to that but we also have to accept the fact that he shot right at the wall and the wall just got separated, if they stayed without even moving, he wouldn't have scored at all, it's that simple, just not move and he misses that shot.

But at the end of the day, Ronaldo keeps scoring and thanks to that Al Nasr is still following Al Ittihad very closely, one loss or a draw from Al Ittihad and we get Al Nasr as the leader once again and after that I do not think that they would be giving that back ever again after that happens. It's obvious that the top two teams will win as much as possible, maybe even win all the remaining games, because they are just that much better than everyone else.

They go to Canada as well if they are closer to that border, basically they can travel to Europe, get the medication they need or surgery they need, and go back to USA and they would still be fine. That is the end result of being the nation that spends the most money on healthcare and still being worse than almost anyone else in the world.

You can claim whatever you want for the reason, but the reason is that politicians do not want to fix it since it's a too big of a trouble to tackle. There are few like Bernie, but people never vote for those people so it ended up being something terrible for them like this, hence they will keep traveling for many more decades until they finally elect someone who will fix it.
1603  Economy / Economics / Re: Has anyone felt lost in pursuit of financial freedom ? on: March 21, 2023, 06:32:59 PM
This isn't a forever feeling, it is a feeling that you get time to time and then you get that pursuit hype once again.

I have periods where I think "I am not going to live again, let me spend some to make myself happy" this month has been one of those months, I have visited to theatres and plays and watched concerts and all that ate good food because for the past 1.5 years or so so many bad things happened to me, countless, I am still happy because even worse could happen and even happens to others every single day, people DIE everyday, I am at least alive, that is good enough, but I just wanted to be happy. But in a month or two, I will go back to pursuing financial freedom again.
1604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2022/2023 on: March 20, 2023, 08:54:19 PM
When you have a team that basically got used to scoring and playing amazing without a striker like Haaland, and then you add someone like that, things suddenly become so much easier for you, like it's somehow cheating without actually cheating. Think about it, it's like basically running at a very high altitude which lacks oxygen, and then start to compete at lower altitude, you would have a lot more oxygen compared to everyone else.

City already won so much without Haaland, what was it 10 cups in 6 years or something? That's without a proper striket at all, and now they have Haaland, a guy who scored about 40-50 goals already, that's basically the best they could have ever hoped for.
1605  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin rising from banking collapse...Permanent or new Fed stops ahead? on: March 20, 2023, 08:31:40 PM
I would guess that FED is busy with all this banking thing and they won't be really ready to tackle the inflation or anything else just yet. Doesn't mean they are not going to do it eventually, they will, but that doesn't change the fact that they will be busy for a while. Looking at the crisis they have on their hands right now, I am guessing that it will take a while before they can charge the situation ahead and tackle it.

I believe that bitcoin will be on the rise for a while longer, not forever of course and this year won't end with a new all time high if you ask me, but we will end with a better price than we started there is absolutely no doubt about that at all.
1606  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Question about Infinite supply altcoins on: March 19, 2023, 09:31:00 PM
I can't really talk about "that" one, because it is a specific token and I do not have any knowledge about it at all. However, if the question at hand is just the fact that there are limitless (infinite supply) projects then I have to say that it is not a make or break thing.

There are very good projects with limited or unlimited supplies, there are very bad ones with limited or unlimited one as well. Which shows you that supply is never the reason why a project could be good or fail in the end. I personally believe that we shouldn't really be focusing on how we could profit based on the tokenomics, but also the honesty and the talents of the project developers.
1607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 19, 2023, 09:21:19 PM
Dortmund shouldn't care about what Bayern is doing, they played a wonderful game and beat their opponent easily, 6 goals is no small feat no matter who you score it against and that's what matters and we should be considering keep repeating that over and over again.

Dortmund could win all the remaining games if they play like this, of course there would be some bad days but if they can keep the focus up, then they could get the title. Don't look at if Bayern wins or loses, try to win all your own games and then you are the title champion because Bayern will eventually lose some points somewhere so if you don't then you will get the championship instead.
1608  Economy / Economics / Re: How will Fed bailing out banks increase inflation? on: March 19, 2023, 07:26:58 PM
Well sort of will, how? This money wasn't in circulation, now it will go into circulation and that's why it will drop the value of dollar, and that will cause inflation because inflation is basically dollar losing value. When dollar does that, usually most other currencies follow the same path as well, they don't have to but they usually do.

This is why I believe that due to this depositors money being safe type of act they do, which is the right option, inflation will happen. Would you rather let people lose billions and not have inflation, or save everyone's money and have inflation? I feel like they made the right choice with this one.
1609  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the first success story on: March 19, 2023, 06:09:58 PM
Too many people have similar stories. I had a friend who mocked me for buying bitcoin when it went from 20k to 3k in 2018, he said that bitcoin was crashing and it will be zero and that was the doom event for bitcoin.

I ignored him and kept on buying and we have seen how much it increased, I got lucky and sold at a good price to pay some stuff off but I had nothing left so it wasn't really something that made me rich, I live the same exact life as I did before investing and the only difference is that I would have been much worse if I didn't, I would be dirt poor eating ramen all day but thanks to bitcoin I did not and that is my success story as well.
1610  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stay humble and go your own way (invest in yourself) - the best strategy of 2022 on: March 19, 2023, 04:42:25 PM
These are pretty great advices to be fair but too much generic maybe? Like invest into your health? Really? I am not saying everyone does, like I for example do not and I am doing terrible these days and I should invest into my health that's true, I should exercise more, even joined a gym and failed to go after the first month, or should eat better and more organic healthy foods instead of fast food etc etc. I get it, but do you think people don't know this? Or "learn a new skill", well obviously everyone would want to, some do, some don't but everyone knows they should.

Good advices, even great, but too generic if you ask me, let me add one more " do not forget to breathe to stay alive".
1611  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What role does tokenomics play in successful altcoins ? on: March 19, 2023, 01:44:10 PM
I think it is very important to remember this could basically make a project go away on the first days. You can have the best tokenomics as you possibly could and still not be doing well at all, but you could be doing terrible as well, because in the end just because you have a great tokenomics doesn't mean that you will be doing awesome neither.

However, if you have a terrible tokenomics then it is 100% guaranteed that nobody will ever care about you and that project will die. So that means you need to have a proper tokenomics, even if it means that you will not be doing well, it still means that you are not doing terrible right from the start.
1612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much these features weigh most when you choose your favorite casino? on: March 18, 2023, 09:32:40 PM
I agree that reputation is the most important thing, because casinos could always be the riskiest thing, you can't even sue them or you know expect any type of legal help if they end up turning out to be a scam, it is way harder.

This is why you have to trust them to be a decent place completely and that is why it is very important. On the other hand, other parts are not unimportant neither, they are of course what makes a casino go from good to great, like a lot of games, or a lot of deposit/withdraw options, rewards, support, all these matter for sure. But if the reputation is not there, then they can have all of those and still not be liked at all.
1613  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What You Should Know about USD Coin(USDC) on: March 18, 2023, 09:11:03 PM
No matter how much it is to be trusted and no matter how much audits they go through, in the end it is a stablecoin that promises to be pegged to one dollar and that idea itself, the concept itself is good enough for me to stay away from it.

I understand that some people like it and that is why it exists and billions were spent on buying it and that is why these stablecoins are high in the rankings right now and combine worth more than 100 billion dollars, but that is a mistake of other people not something I will do.
1614  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Circle plans to expand new DeFi platform (credited for swiftly restoring USDC) on: March 18, 2023, 10:55:55 AM
I would guess that they will try to expand as much as possible to lower the chance of any type of crash they could have and this prevention would help them more than it helps their customers. This defi structure would not be ideal for the customer because they can't be holding them accountable, they will say it is decentralized while also still profiting from each trade but the money will not be in their pockets.

Basically it is the same profit but less responsibility for them and if anything happens the customers can't just knock on circles door and ask for a refund for their mistake, because circle will just go on with their day like they had nothing to do with it.
1615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 17, 2023, 05:35:53 PM
I didn't expected Denver to be this dominant and win by 19 points neither, but to be fair they were this good normally, it was a weird thing for them to not have this win earlier. In the end they are at the top, and what they say about Jokic is true, he is the real MVP of this league right now.

Because aside from him and Giannis, everyone else gets together to win a title, Durant got together with Booker (and irving before and Curry before that) or Lebron with AD or Doncic with Irving, basically everyone gets together, whereas Jokic is the sole superstar of his own team, sure he has good teammates but none of them are superstar level like him, dude is a beast.
1616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2022/23 Season on: March 17, 2023, 05:05:01 PM
They will play Konya away game today, then Kayserisport at home, Alanyasport away, Karagumruk at home, Besiktas away, Sivassport at home, Ankaragucu away, Fenerbahce at home, and I think they won't be playing Hatay? Right? So when you look at this, as we all know in football they can beat Besiktas and Fener and lose to easier opponents, I am not saying that won't be possible, but by the looks of it the hardest games are away game against Besiktas, which is also in a good momentum, and also the home game against Fenerbahce as well.

This is really enough because they are already up so much, they may even end up beating them and losing some other game.
1617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The journey of successful business man who were professional gamblers on: March 16, 2023, 07:07:01 PM
There is a good connection between people who are gamblers and people who end up owning a casino. They have seen so many times of people losing their entire life there, so they know that if you own a casino that can attract as much people as possible then you are going to end up with a lot of profit. Why do you think there are so many casinos that give out free drinks and show tickets and all that? It's mainly because if you do have a lot of people in your casino then you have a lot of profit.

Giving a 3000 dollar ticket to someone for free could lead to his group losing tens of thousands there if they stay, or giving out free drinks at 5-10 dollars a glass for the casino, could make the person drunker and lose hundreds and hundreds of dollars there. So, they know the business when they watched it and that's why they are so inclined to open one themselves.
1618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 16, 2023, 06:20:32 PM
I would guess that there are no teams that would lead the league in a mathematically nearly impossible to lose like this that ended up losing. I wager that if Napoli ends up selling ALL their players and just field 18 year old or under kids for the rest of the games, they will still not lose the title.

Not because they would win a lot more games, but because I do not think that other teams would end up earning more than 18 point difference during the same period. This is done, this was done a long time ago, it is not just recently done, it has been pretty much guaranteed that they would win when the difference became over 12 points and this is just over at this point.
1619  Economy / Economics / Re: Finally they understand the value of Decentralization ! on: March 16, 2023, 03:58:23 PM
I would guess that people are investing heavily into crypto these days because they are taking their money out of the banking world. This caused a huge spike in bitcoin price as well, and that is why I think we are in a good movement these days, we will probably keep going up for a while but congress and treasury got together on a zoom call just the other day and decided that everyone will be protected.

This means people with over 250k will be still given their money, this will not be from taxpayers money but a prevention fund that banks already pay into, so it is not going to be coming out of anyone's pocket. However, it is still a proof that the system fails, you may recover after the fail, but fails nevertheless.
1620  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: High gas fee for sending token is still a problem on: March 16, 2023, 02:44:20 PM
I would guess that the most recent increase in price once again clogged the market and that caused a lot of transactions to be more expensive. I do not think that this will go on for a long time, it is already at an acceptable level right now, but the reality is that ethereum gas fee problem is not fixed and it shows once again that in the future when there is a big bull run, we are going to end up paying a lot of tx fee once again and paying for that gas fee is not going to be nice.

I mean ETH is the biggest altcoin and that means there will be plenty of tokens under it, and people who would like to use those tokens will have to pay a huge gas fee.
