Until minute 90 everyone still hopes for Inter, maybe we hope the referee blows the whistle immediately on 90' without additional time. We know Inter playing badly not as they played before when meet Napoli, maybe because of fatigue factor, they have played 2 days differently. after hosting Napoli, Inter has moved 12 miles to Monza in the next days, which situation I am really sure this factor makes inter lost of concentration.
I think of that as a factor too regarding Inter's poor performance at Monza. It's not entirely true, but maybe fatigue is one of the things that is most likely to prevent players from getting good recovery time after the tough match against Napoli. But Inter should have held on to the win, the goal coming in added time and made Inter lose the full points.

Nonetheless, Inter are still safely in the top 4 because even if Lazio win against Empoli then 1 point will be the difference between them. But of course, Inter cannot afford to drop points in their next match against Verona. Now Juventus has shifted Milan's position, and maybe it will make Milan have to stay in position 3 if they lose to Roma.

Villarreal's defense played the best, but Real Madrid's attack, despite the fact that Benzema was in the starting lineup, missed too many good chances to score goals. Yes, the game was expectedly difficult for Real Madrid, and now Barcelona is obliged to take advantage of this. This is not the first present for Bracelona from Real Madrid, they have lost points too often lately. Although Barcelona will also have a very difficult game tomorrow, they will have to play Atletico away, in this game it is also not clear whether Barcelona can win.
Draw, win or lose is just the final consequence of a match. But when the team fails to take advantage of its best opportunity to lead the standings, then of course the disappointment will be felt. Real Madrid should have capitalized on their chance to lead the table with a win at Villarreal, but that fell fails and gave Barcelona even more advantage.

Even if I have reason to expect Barcelona to drop points also at Atletico Madrid, but that doesn't do much good. Barcelona are looking better and more ready to prove their strength this season, so Real Madrid just need to think about themselves instead of expecting bad results for other teams.

The match between Villarreal and Real Madrid has already ended. The score is something that I did not expect. And I think most people did not expect this type of score from Real Madrid. They lost against Villareal, by 2–1.

Now this means Barcelona has another chance to get ahead in terms of points compared to Real Madrid. Barcelona and Real Madrid are on the same point. But now Real Madrid has played one more match than Barcelona. This is going to be interesting to see how Barcelona is going to perform in the next match.

I thought Real Madrid had enough chances to get ahead in this match. They just failed to convert those chances into something meaningful.
The game completely exceeded many people's expectations, but I think Real Madrid's problems were completely ignored by them. I've said before that Villarreal are by no means weak, but people's sense of optimism about Real Madrid seems to keep them from finding out why.

Real Madrid failed to take advantage many goal chance that existed, and they also failed to keep their defense tight, which made Villarreal really threaten Thibaut Courtois and his goal. Obviously I would say it's a loss for Real Madrid because now Barcelona will be looking for a win when they travel to Atletico Madrid tomorrow.

Actually no one ever falls into such a situation, but even if one ever falls into such a situation I have never seen private key/wallet backup key returned to the original owner.  But if I ever find myself in such a situation I will take whatever measures I should to return it to the original owner.
Without a doubt, I can truly say you have a good personality.
Even in this modern age someone who is honest is really hard to find especially when it comes to money. But I think you can say anything at this point, but you won't necessarily be able to resist any temptations and urges if you're in that situation.  Grin

OP, it's hard to expect someone to return those bitcoin to an owner he or she never knew about, in fact I'm pretty sure someone would run away if they got 1 or more bitcoin accidentally sent for them. But if it's me, it just depends on how much balance there is. If it's only 0.00001 then I think I'm more likely not to get it. Lol

In my opinion "The bottom has already been passed, but there will be no growth this year", that seems true considered the current state of the economy. The buying trend is expected to increase even more during 2023 as the halving cycle approaches, but I don't believe it will make a big impact on increasing the price. Of course the hopes are better, but I can't ignore the current state of the economy which has ruined many plans.

As I expected, Villarreal are actually scoring goals while I'm writing. Now I hope there is an increase in Real Madrid form after being 1 goal behind Villarreal.
The situation now at the stadium de la Ceramica, Real Madrid are already 2-1 down. Gerard Moreno calmly outwitted Courtois in the 63rd minute.
With only about 17 minutes remaining approximately including the extra minutes, Villarreal were still playing as they always have, which is to say they hadn't changed their style of play in defence.

Madrid continued to try and hit back through Vinicius, but the Yellow Submarine also tried to attack with quick counter-attacks.
That's why I never underestimate any team even though I know Real Madrid have had a good performance so far. Villarreal played even better today and they really put Real Madrid in trouble especially in defence. There were opportunities that the Real Madrid players failed to take advantage of, that was clearly bad for today's result.

I still hope Real Madrid can get a better result (at least draw) in the remaining minutes before the match ends. But really I'm really disappointed with Real Madrid's defense today.

This is the most exciting and most awaited match by everyone. Because the match is not only about the strength or performance of the two teams that are seen, but about the mentality that they still want to be the best in the Premier League in every season, so their meeting in the match is what Premier League fans have been waiting for. Apart from that, the two teams are now also in a very good position with a very close point gap in the standings.
Because Manchester United's performance is so good, it is never wrong to expect a good game for the two Manchester teams. Nonetheless, I believe Manchester City is a team that is still difficult to compete against under any circumstances because they have enough players with good quality. I have one hope for Manchester United, they can be expected after the positive trend at the moment.

Even so, I think Manchester City will also be expecting 3 points from Manchester United as they are trying to catch Arsenal at the top of the table. There is no other way, Manchester City have to do their best but I hope Manchester United manage to hold them.

I think Real Madrid's performance was no better than Villarreal's in the first half. They had some good chances that should have been scored, it's just that because of the selfishness of some players, these good opportunities have been in vain. Villarreal played pretty well too. They can offset Real Madrid's game throughout the match, and they have attacks that are quite troublesome for Real Madrid. I think the team with less mistakes will have more chances to win this game.
You are right, Real Madrid's performance in the first half was no better than Villarreal. In fact, I can really say that Real Madrid's defense was very overwhelmed at guarding Villarreal's attack, which almost scored in several opportunities. I expected Real Madrid to change their strategy in the second half, I really saw they were bad defensively. It is quite possible that Villarreal would have scored if Real Madrid had not played better in the second half.

As I expected, Villarreal are actually scoring goals while I'm writing. Now I hope there is an increase in Real Madrid form after being 1 goal behind Villarreal.

Well part of me wants to believe we will see a Pump in 2023. The all time high in 2022 was certainly a great run for BTC but I don’t believe we have seen anywhere near the top of bitcoin.
With a revolutionary technology like bitcoin it’s very difficult to predict how big it will get because of the new applications and utility of this limited asset. At bottom, I’m a long hold investor in Bitcoin and patience has served me well in my previous investments.
ATH happens in 2021, it's about $69K. During 2022 we only enjoyed down turn and they have until now.
What's next in 2023? We both don't know yet even though there is actually a lot of optimism about 2023. I think speculators are really going to be putting a lot of thought into 2023 which is likely to be the year we should buy and buy more, but that doesn't mean it's going to drop below $10K.

Mateu Lahoz is one of the top class referees in the world. If he made some mistakes lately it's not the end of the world. Other referees are no better. He already made plans about retirement and I don't blame him. He had a wonderful referee career and at the age of 45 it's his right to retire. We will always remember him good.
I also don't completely blame Lahoz for the number of cards he has issued in the last few games he has led. He was in the spotlight in Argentina's match against the Netherlands, then recently Lahoz was also questioned after taking charge of Barcelona's match against Espanyol. Both matches were very close with high intensity, both teams fouled each other a lot and that was worth the card although not all.

I think in the future we will remember the history of Antonio Mateu Lahoz like we remember the history of Pierluigi Collina.  Cheesy

Another thing is for Bitcoin, by doing this, Bitcoin is becoming dirty because these people are using Bitcoin. This is one of the examples of why some people think that Bitcoin is a fraud because it is being used by criminals.
I don't expect just because of this case bitcoin will be scapegoated by people who hate it. There have been many cases of hacks demanding ransoms in fiat currency, and one shouldn't blame fiat for that.

Bitcoin is an option here as one of the currencies that supports privacy, but it is clear that bitcoin is not anonymous because all bitcoin transactions are public and traceable. Mixer and TOR services might break traceability and hide IP, but if something improved in the future so it's always possible to find out who did it.

Age is not a reason not to invest in bitcoin or anything. In fact I'm pretty sure the average high profile bitcoin investor is 35 years old above, and over time they too have continued to do so without worrying about age. This investment is not just for us, but for the future of our children and family, besides we can enjoy it ourselves.

I know there are concerns about who will have control of our assets in the future, but if we do care then we should be prepared to inherit them on to them on our own terms.

the advice from all of you is very good, and of course it is a motivation for myself so that I can continue to study in this forum, namely so that my insights about bitcoin and crypto broaden.
Of course, you just have to and you must to if you want to be the one who wants to talk about bitcoin.

Arsenal and manchester city are the top competitors for the premier league title this season. The both team not giving up in their games with backup remarkable performance in the league games. A very important way to enjoy the good features of the premier league, after experiencing the fight between Manchester city and Liverpool last season which city came out champions,  very satisfying to see Gunners competitive with manchester city.
Because Arsenal will play Tottenham and Manchester United in the next 2 matches, I think it will take a little time to draw conclusions about who really deserves the title this season. Then from that, Manchester City also needs to prove that they are the favorites because Manchester United and Tottenham are also strong opponents to beat. The fatigue factor will very likely make Arsenal and Manchester City's performance drop, but I'm really curious how they maintain their performance this January.

It's hard to say who won who in that match, but surely Arsenal and Manchester City will be the favorites to win. Manchester City's situation is more difficult, that's because they have to face Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham in a month.

Not so happy that Chelsea were unable to score, but still happy that they are holding Manchester city goalless ruining their plan to close the gap they have with Arsenal. Haaland also had a good chance but the finishing was not up to the standard we know he can give. Manchester city will definitely play better in the second half because Pep is a tactical genius and must have seen their shortcomings in the first half and made changes. Chelsea should at least do their home crowd, supporters and Arsenal supporters too to either Hold Manchester City or just go for the win.
But Mahrez has ruined Chelsea's current plans. Riyad Mahrez managed to take advantage of Grealish's pass after a few minutes of being played by his coach. So Manchester City are currently 0-1 ahead of Chelsea, but it looks like there will be another goal for the rest of the match.

Haaland hasn't scored yet, but it was close. I think he will, and he just needs a good pass to find the net. At least Haaland has had a few chances so far, but he's yet to find the net.

Having Chelsea and Manchester City draw their last matches against their opponents gives me confidence that there's going to be a win in this game and I think Chelsea is likely going to get the win in this match with a score line of 1-0 over Manchester City. Definitely the match isn't gonna be an easy game for both teams.
The first half had ended and the two teams were still playing out a goalless draw. However, this match seems very interesting because so far the match has been fierce where both teams have both had good chances, it's a shame no goals have been scored.

Meanwhile, the current injuries to two Chelsea players have not really made them look bad. Chelsea have been very strong today even though they struggled against the Manchester City defence. Then from that, the favorite Manchester City haven't really shown good performance during the first half. Haaland failed to take advantage of opportunities, while several other opportunities were wasted. I'm looking forward to the second half, hopefully there will be something to be happy about today.

I will watch it in the second half and now the Arsenal vs Newcastle second round match has started again. And it looks like Arsenal are keeping the pressure on the Newcastle defense very well. But the Newcastle defense is really strong.
Arteta seems worried about the outcome of this match even though his team completely dominated attack. But once again, Newcastle's defense is really difficult to penetrate. So it's going to be a goalless draw I think, but let's see for a few more minutes.

Can Newcastle really be the team to stop Arsenal finally?
After you watched 85 minutes of the match, are you still unsure about Newcastle? There weren't many really dangerous chances for either Arsenal or Newcastle, and only Nketiah failed to maximize on his good chances this time. So 1 point I think is also good for Newcastle in its efforts to stay in the top 4 big.
1697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 03, 2023, 08:46:01 PM
score has changed. Manchester United are now 1 goal ahead thanks to Casemiro's goal. and so the Manchester United Vs Bournemouth match now is 1-0. and I think Manchester United are now starting to get their game. and I think Manchester United can win by more than 1 goal.
Manchester United will secure the first half with a win because I think they are too good for Bournemouth. But anyway I shouldn't underestimate a team like them because they can also threaten the defense of Manchester United. 1-0 will last until the first half ended.

For the Arsenal Game I chose to skip it. I thought the result would be a draw until the end.
The first half is over, the two teams draw and this is a super tiring match for Arsenal. 5 yellow cards to be issued during the first half, so we should know how the match went.
1698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 03, 2023, 08:38:04 PM
Yes, this defeat can hardly be called "important" - nothing has changed in the tournament sense and PSG still have a comfortable advantage over all other clubs. But given the fact that this is a defeat from Lance, which is in second place, this is undoubtedly a blow to the pride of PSG, which already believes in its invulnerability. By the way, it is curious that Lance also has only one defeat and fewer goals conceded than PSG. It would be nice if Lance continued to play successfully and keep a semblance of intrigue for as long as possible.
As the closest competitor to PSG, I think Lens really has done something like it should. Lens kept moving and seizing opportunities and that's how they proved themselves able to compete with this wealthy team. Now it's 4 points between Lens and PSG, and what's great is that Lens has changed its status to become the strongest team at the moment.

But either way, it might be difficult to expect Lens to be able to maintain its consistency. They have been strong so far, but other teams can do better too. The league still has a lot of match to go, and I think PSG are still the team most likely to be at the forefront even if they lose to Lens this time.
1699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 02, 2023, 09:37:36 PM
I think that all the teams in the French league were able to reveal what PSG's weak point is, they cannot do anything without their stars, the fact that Ney earned his red card and not having played affected them, Mbappé is not a god He can't do much, he's a very good player but he still can't do that much, Lens was masterful, I like when this team or these teams beat the greats, because they gain confidence, they believe it and they see that the teams Those who are first in the table can end their hegemony, not every day they are the same, even if all the stars are playing, they can lose the same.
But anyway Lens has succeeded with its mission for 3 very important points to keep close. A natural defeat for PSG this week and I think Lens have improved too over the course of the competition. Now that PSG only has a 4-point advantage, they may not easily let go of that advantage to 1 point with a loss in their next match. In PSG's next match Neymar and Messi will be back, it will be a good boost after the 3-1 defeat to Lens.

Furthermore, Mbappe and Hakimi will not play with PSG in the next two matches after Christophe Galtier gave them time off after the World Cup. Mbappe isn't really a king without other players helping him, that's been proven to be true.

Choosing a stable coin is not a easy choice, USDT, BUSD, USDC are scary to me because I worry they may lose their peg.
Only if you want to keep it long term. But what's wrong with having it as another solution for those who don't own bitcoin, I guess you're still safe having payment options other than just bitcoin. On some of the services they also accept stablecoin and I think that will help their business reach those customers who don't own bitcoin. Anyway you might sell it soon or might be able to buy bitcoin with that stablecoin instead of depositing your fiat, but those are just a few of my thoughts.

I agree having more payment options will make your business more attractive, but given that your customer base is mostly women then it's likely that your acceleration of success on adoption will be a bit slow.
