Investment is good than saving money, because through investing we can double our money in just a short period of time, while in saving it takes a very long time to have a big savings because it is really hard to save when we have a lot of basic needs to buy so for me investment is more good than savings.
If you can afford the loss of the money, investment is a good choice. But if you don't want to take a risk on the money, investment isn't the right choice for you. Sure, investment may double our money but it also can lose all the money. Don't only think about the potential of the profits but we must also think about the risks. That's why we can't rely on the investment only, savings sometimes is also needed to secure the reserved money in the future. Savings is different, it won't have the risk of loosing all the money. The value may decrease but it won't be very significant amount. By the way, the purpose of saving and investment is different. When you save money, you won't think to double it but you plan to secure it for the future. Meanwhile investment, we must expect for profits. We don't want to put they money with no significant change in certain assets. So, saving and investment actually can't be compared because they have a different purpose. |

I have bad feelings about Man City. Only 5 minutes till the end of overtime. They had plenty of chances but couldn't score a winner.
but still let the game go to a penalty shootout, that gives the other team a massive psychological advantage.
Hope I'm wrong though.
Do you feel Man City to lose?  Indeed. Man City wasted too many chances, they probably feel frustrated. Now, we see the penalty kick, 2 Man City players failed to score. I don't know if this is about psychological effect. However, Real Madrid is a team that has a good luck in Penalty kick. I don't say Real Madrid looks like to win it but they probably have a better chance now. So congrats to Bayern Munich for getting into the next round of the Champions League with that win today against Arsenal.
Bayern Munich deserves to go to the semi-final round. It is clear that they played better than Arsenal. Bayern Munich really takes the advantage playing at home. Now, it is getting interesting about the chance of Bayern Munich to reach the final round.
Update: Real Madrid wins the penalty kick. It is like what you feel, mate @pawel7777  |

Leverkusen did actually surprised everyone because they came from no were, and they are doing great at the table, and maintaining 79 point on the table is not easy and from the look of things he as more chances to winning it
Of course, no one predicted Bayer Leverkusen will win the Bundesliga title this season. The unbeaten record makes people more surprised, even Bayern Munich can't do this. It is a great season for Bayer Leverkusen, they don't only win the title but they made a history as well. Sure, collecting 79 points and keep no lose are very difficult thing. But Leverkusen can do this very well, they also look like to end this season with no lose at all. i was surprised at both bayerns and dortmunds position but it looks like that of Dortmund is worst, there chances of winning the Europa is not going to be the same with Bundesliga
Bayern Munich position isn't surprising. The runner up position is the right position for them. But for Dortmund, they are just in 5th place, they should have a better position. However, in UCL Bayern Munich and Dortmund have a different condition. These teams reach the semi-final round and have the chance to go to the final round. if you look at that of DFB-Pokal they have a better chance there also because there score records are good, and any of the leagues it is actually possible to win but it all depends on the club.
The title of DFB Pokal seems for Bayer Leverkusen. They will play against FCK in May 26, it shouldn't be a problem for Leverkusen. I assume they will win the final match easily. |

It's true that a lot of money has made the Arab league much better known. Because SPL clubs have succeeded in bringing in star players from Europe such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Sadio Mane, Neymar and many more. This has attracted the attention of world football fans and started paying more attention to the SPL.
Yep. Saudi have been successful to attract the attention of people around the world. Sure, they spent a lot of money because it is the only way to ensure the star players joining Saudi league. I think they deserve to earn huge money in Saudi, they have made a big decision to play in a lower level of competition. Ronaldo is the pioneer of all the star players, he has a big role in improving the popularity of Saudi league. in my country and many other countries they have also started broadcasting every SPL match. And yes, the SPL succeeded in attracting the attention of the football world to them.
It is normal if SPL matches have started to be broadcast in various countries around the world. Since the high interest of all football fans around the world to see the star players playing in Saudi league, it will be the advantage to broadcast the matches. And just the news that Al-Hilal lost for the first time this season. But not at SPL but at LCA. by Al-ain. Al-hilal lost the first leg of the LCA semi-finals with a score of 4-2.
Honestly, I'm surprised with this result. Sure, without Bono and Aleksandar Mitrovic, Al Hilal can't play with their best performance. However, I think the level of Al Hilal should be much better than Al Ain even with no Bono and Aleksandar Mitrovic in the lineup. This may be just an unlucky day for Al Hilal, they still have a chance to win with big scores in Leg 2. It will be a home match for Al Hilal, the chance looks quite open. |

Guys have you been tracking these Bitcoin halving cycles? It's wild how they've consistently led to massive price surges in the past.
Tracking? Do you mean learning the cycles? I think everyone learned it, we all know how the halving contributed to the huge increase in Bitcoin price. Halving already happened several times, so people must learn how its patterns. So far, it is true that halving always brings a significant change in the price. Even if there is no guarantee for another huge increase, but it is likely to happen in the same way. The pattern is clear. Based on that history, a lot of analysts are predicting Bitcoin soaring to around $500K.
Yep, the pattern is quite clear although it may change someday. I personally still believe it will remain in the same pattern for the current season. I don't see something to change it. By the way, who predicted the Bitcoin will reach $500k in this season? Most people only predicted the price may reach $150k - $200k. I never saw an analyst predicting the price $500k. 
This topic should be in Bitcoin Discussion or in Speculation. |

Normally new altcoins give more profits because the old altcoins have tons and tons of bag holders. These bag holders are usually going to sell at break even or near break even so there is more sell pressure.
It is only in theory. Nowadays, new altcoins only give more losses because most of them are easily dumped after they are listed in the first exchange. Meanwhile old coins may give good profits because we can buy them with cheap prices during the dump in the market recently. Then, we can sell them in the next altcoins season. A new altcoin generally has everyone in profit and they are less likely to sell when there is a small move, hence its why they usually go 10x and more people end up making money. Go look at the CMC of 2017 and see how many of those mid type alts are dead right now and bag holders is the real reason.
Unfortunately, it is no longer the new altcoins in 2016, 2017, or 2018. In these years, I know that ICO was very popular and people can easily get enough profits from the new altcoins getting from ICOs. Nowadays, it is very difficult to get profits from new altcoins, moreover if the new altcoins have very low day volumes in the market. They probably will end up to be dead altcoins. |

La Liga teams not doing too well, both Atletico and Barcelona now out. Only Real remain and they face a huge task to make the semi final away at Man City tomorrow.
You're right. 2 La Liga teams have been eliminated with surprising results today. They won in Leg 1, but they are defeated with big scores today. They failed to defend their leading in Leg 1, they may be just unlucky. Barcelona is clear very unlucky, they are defeated because a read card got by Araujo in minute 29'. If this never happened, I think Barcelona must play in the next round. Barcelona made a big mistake by going defensive after the red card, that was were the mistake started. And Barcelona is not a team that's very good with defending. Their tactical switch to defense spoilt their game plan. The red card was too hash, but it was the fault of the Barcelona defender who pulled the PSG player down.
No, I don't think so. Barcelona is trying to play with the same way, Xavi only changed some players to deal with losing 1 defender. There was nothing wrong with the decision made by Xavi. But Luis Enrique knows well Barcelona game, he ordered his players to focus more on attacking. Unfortunately, losing 1 player made it very difficult for Barcelona. That condition made Barcelona players panic and no idea to avoid the conceded goals. |

I think Inter deliberately didn't play with full power because they felt they could beat Cagliari easily because if you look at their strength Cagliari has a very weak defense system and Inter can take advantage of that to win, but who would have thought Cagliari would be able to make things difficult for Inter and be able to break down Inter's defense which was very strong with 2 goals and in the end the match was a draw even though this draw was not a bad result for Inter, it was also a fair result for Cagliari to get 3 points from Inter which was very difficult to achieve.
I don't think so. If you check again the lineup, Inter Milan used their main players. In the lineup, I saw only Lautaro Martínez who was no in the starting lineup. Inzaghi won't try to waste any point, he must order the players to play optimally and expect to get full points. If Inter Milan failed to get 3 points, I think it was just unlucky result. Inter Milan has dominated the match and made many shot attempts. Sadly, they only could score 2 goals. By the way, we must appreciate Cagliari, they have played with a good performance. Forcing Inter Milan to get a draw is a positive result, not many teams in Serie A could get point when they played against Inter Milan. |

In terms of points, Barcelona and Real Madrid are quite far apart, but even so, Barcelona still has the opportunity to overtake Real Madrid,
The point gap is 8 points. Sure, it is quite far difference. However, since there are some remaining matches, I agree that we can't claim too early that Barcelona has no opportunity to catch Real Madrid. in the Champions League with Real Madrid playing with unsatisfactory results against City, so in my opinion City will make things difficult for Real Madrid in the second leg. second leg, I think. City can still win the match. and if that happens then there is a chance for Barcelona. with Barcelona's match in the Champions League against PSG, like in the first leg, they were able to win the match even though it was a narrow victory.
I think the UCL result has nothing to do with the winning chance in La Liga. Also, there will be no significant impact in Real Madrid performance. Although Barcelona wins in UCL, they don't automatically winning the match in La Liga. I think we sometimes need to separate UCL and La Liga matters. I am looking forward to Real Madrid's match against Barcelona, because I think this is a big match, where both teams compete closely. Even though in yesterday's match Barcelona lost to Real Madrid, it is possible that in the next match Barcelona could provide a surprise.
It is not your perception that El Clasico is a big match, everyone must know that it is a big match. The result of El Clasico sometimes may bring a big impact. It probably happens for the upcoming El Clasico, Real Madrid can secure the title if Real Madrid can beat Barcelona in the El Clasico. I doubt if Barcelona can give us a surprise. |

Trading is not a lifetime job.
I even thought, what kind of job is an all-life-time job? Because, there will definitely be a certain period when someone stops their job, then just enjoys life in their old age. Or, for example, if you still have to work, then the work will be adjusted to your age, in this case it depends on your ability and your physical condition and mind which are already old, both online and offline, this law applies. So, it's not just about trading. 1. It is quite stressful - old traders will soon give up due to mental health problems
However, I personally agree and think the same way. That trading is complex and full of pressure because the risks are high. Therefore, if you trade alone, as time goes by, the level of effectiveness and continuity in trading will also decrease. Even if you use the help of a premium AI bot, it will definitely continue to decline as you get older. Funds and era where a trader will retire from his own trading (not trading with his own hands). But all he has to do is enjoy the results of his hard work from the trading he has done previously. So one of his hopes is to continue to have a lot of retirement funds so he can enjoy his old age more peacefully without having to think about trading again. |

What a performance coming from the bridge, this shows that Chelsea are the cause of their problems. I hope after leading by 4 goals to nil they won't end up with a draw, the only play who's responsible for this positive movement for Chelsea is Cole Palmer. This guy is making things easy for the Blues and is hard to believe but he's Man City's bench warmer and now he's Chelsea's best player, if Palmer continues like this I see him winning the best player of the season and the highest goals scorer award.
This time, Chelsea really slaughtered Everton without mercy. I also thought, maybe the second half will end tragically again. But apparently not. Chelsea was able to continue its excellent performance. Even adding 2 more goals was very impressive. Ah, if only Chelsea could always be as good and effective as this match. So it will provide a little more fresh air. Yes, even though the opponent is a small club in the EPL, Everton, at least Chelsea is not as disappointing as before. Their effectiveness was quite good, from 10 shots on target, they managed to score 6 goals, and of them there was 1 penalty kick. In fact, ball control was not that dominant either. The point is that in this match, Chelsea did very well. |

- Are you investing in BTC or gold?
- Do you think BTC has become more attractive than gold in the investment sector?
Yes, I am, both BTC and gold. - Do you think BTC has become more attractive than gold in the investment sector?
It will depend on where you re asking. If you are asking here, yes, it is, because most people right here concern more about Bitcoin than gold in this forum. Moreover, we also understand how valuable and worth it BTC is. But, when you ask ordinary people, gold is the main and first thing, as in the global asset market cap too. - Have people like Peter Schiff accumulated a lot of BTC while still badmouthing BTC in the media?
Probably, BTC is more private as long as he doesn't declare about what and how he has. I haven't excluded gold from my investment portfolio so far, but bitcoin is the asset I most hope to accumulate. Gold has risen a few percent over the past year and I have also benefited from it, but of course gold does not provide higher returns than bitcoin despite its price volatility which is very risky.
Gold and bitcoin are great investment assets, however so far I have only really focused on bitcoin and would prefer to stop buying more gold for now. I will go back to buying gold once I convert my profits from bitcoin.
Many people are like this because of several considerations. As well as: - the possibility of someone gaining more profits from Bitcoin in a certain time period - More interest in digital assets, in this case Bitcoin - Limited amount of money to invest - And several other personal reasons that tend to want BTC more than gold. But indeed, as you said, both BTC and gold are investments that are very worth it and valuable. Both have great reputations that are beyond doubt. So, if we can invest in both, why not? |

Santai aja om, paling penurunan dua hari ini karena koreksi kecil-kecilan.
Tidak bisa dibilang kecil juga, harga BTC ini turun dari $70k ke kisaran $61k. Ini penurunan lumayan besar (lebih kurang turun $10k), biasanya paling turun cuman $5k. Yang mungkin bikin khawatir banyak holder, itu karena halving sudah dekat tapi malah koreksi dalam. Beberapa holder berspekulasi kalau halving mungkin tidak lagi punya daya hype seperti sebelumnya. Jadinya mungkin saja harga tidak terlalu signifikan naiknya meskipun di waktu halving mendatang. Maklum masih suasana lebaran, karena banyak investor yang nguangin bitcoinnya untuk bagi-bagi THR untuk keponakannya.
Mungkin saja, tapi kalau cuman ini faktornya tidak bakal sampai bikin drop seperti beberapa hari ini. Saya kira faktor lain yang lebih mungkin untuk menyebabkan dump dalam beberapa hari ini. Berdasarkan apa yang saya baca, ada 3 penyebab: war Iran-Israel, tax day US, dan inflasi US. Masih ada peluang saat harga mencapai lebih dari $73k yang akan mendapatkan keuntungan lebih besar saat harga Bitcoin seperti yang diperkirakan spekulator.
Ini maksudnya peluang $73k di halving BTC mendatang? Ya selama harga BTC tidak sampe ke $50k lagi, saya kira masih sangat mungkin balik ke $73k. Apalagi harga BTC sekarang mulai berangsur naik, masih bertahan di kisaran $63k - $64k. Saya yakin masih banyak yang optimis selama melihat harga BTC tetap di atas $60k. |

pada akhirnya Iran benar-benar menyerang Israel, dan pasar mulai menunjukkan gejolak. Harga Bitcoin sempat drop dari 67K ke 60K saat serangan Iran dilancarkan ke Israel. Namun, pasar sepertinya masih berada dalam tingkat kepercayaan yang lebih baik, karena BTC masih menunjukkan pull back. Sepertinya, ketakutan akan potensi serangan yang meluas di Iran menjadi hal yang ditakuti nih mas @chikito, semoga saja tidak ada serangan lanjutan dari berbagai pihak pembela Israel ke Iran. karena sepertinya ritme pasar kripto akan benar-benar berubah jika terjadi perang besar di sana.
Walaupun perang Iran-Israel berdampak ke market crypto, saya kira tidak akan berlangsung lama. Bukan kali ini saja isu perang dikaitkan dengan market crypto, sebelumnya perang Rusia-Ukraina juga sempat dikaitkan ke penurunan koin-koin crypto. Tapi seperti biasa, market segera pulih dan isu perang tidak terlalu signifikan pengaruhnya untuk jangka waktu yang lama. Selain itu, sebenarnya perang Iran-Israel ini seharusnya tidak banyak pengaruhnya karena sepertinya tidak banyak big player crypto dari kedua negara ini. Hanya saja mungkin karena peran media, makanya timbul kepanikan atau fear di antara para crypto holder. Secara pribadi, saya tidak terlalu khawatir dengan isu perang Iran-Israel. BTW, ada isu lain terkait penurunan harga ini: - Tax day di US - Data Inflasi US 1. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-11/money-market-assets-fall-from-record-high-on-cusp-of-tax-day2. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/cryptocurrency/cryptocurrency-price-on-april-10-bitcoin-falls-below-69400-ahead-of-us-inflation-data/articleshow/109185684.cms?from=mdr |

If Manchester United is ready to slap atleast $100mil on a player than that player is going to be Osimhem for sure. We need a solid finisher not someone that has the versatile capability like Leao. We already has Holjund and Garnacho if we want someone versatile on that role so its dumb to actually spend $100mil on Leao
Also for the comparison last year since this season hasnt over yet
Leao played 41 times for AC Milan with 16 goals and 8 assists
Osimhem played 39 times for Napoli with 31 goals and 5 assists
Statistically, Osimhem was way better finisher
I agree that Man United has enough wingers, they are better to spend a big money for a productive striker. Osimhen is the right player if Man United wants a goal machine. Osimhen deserves to get €100m, his market value is even more than that price, it is around €110m. I think Napoli wants above his current market value, it is rumored valued above €150m. There is no way that Man United can sign Osimhen with €100m. Regarding Leao, he is a great player but Man United doesn't really need a player like him. $100mil is also too expensive, Man United is better to spend the money for more priority players. |

Lazio looked like they had the job done from the first half. They took no mercy on last place Salernitana and scored 3 goals in the first half. Felipe Anderson scored two of these goals. He previously had a total of three goals in the league. What I don't understand is, isn't there a pure striker in Lazio? Taty Castellano plays forward. Even though they played without a centre-forward, this result is very good for them. Their inability to back up Immobile shows their squad depth is weak. They won't have any problems against opponents like Salernitana, but they will have a lot of trouble in bigger matches.
It is clear that Lazio will win this match easily because they play against the weakest team in Serie A. Salernitana is in the bottom of Serie A standings, they become the team that have most conceded goals this season. I even think Lazio may score more goals in second half, they possibly score 5 goals if they keep playing offensively. Well, Felipe Anderson succeeded scoring 2 goals to make Lazio is leading with comfortable score. Castellano seems to score as well if he can get a good chance. But I'm not really sure about this because Castellano isn't a very productive striker in Serie A. Immobile is still a better striker in Lazio but he got injured and not available for this match. By the way, this win will make Lazio to stay in the top 8 of Serie A standings. They still have a chance to finish in 6th place, I doubt if they can return to the top 5. |

I am currently 100% in altcoins and wondering when we can expect the next big alt season?
I plan to hold all my altcoins till this alt season when alt coins are performing better than Bitcoin and then start putting profits into Bitcoin.
If you are 100% in altcoins, it means you don't invest in Bitcoin at all? Why? Sure, it is your right to invest in any coins. However, as far as I know, Bitcoin will increase first before altcoins season. We have halving, this probably will trigger to increase Bitcoin price because people will tend to focus on Bitcoin firstly. The altcoin season should follow it, it will happen after the halving. In my own understanding, we will have altcoin season when the price of Bitcoin tends to stable (no significant change). This is when the Bitcoin in the long sideway phase. This probably happens in the next few months after Bitcoin halving. But no one knows the exact time for the altcoin season. It can be in Q3 or Q4 of this year, or it may be in the next year. By the way, be careful to put the profits into Bitcoin after altcoin season. After altcoin season, the market can turn to the bearish season. If you want to buy Bitcoin after altcoin season, I suggest to do it when it is clear that we begins the new bearish season. So, you can buy in the lowest price! |

Saya setuju banget jika pemerintah memasukan UU hukam mati bagi mereka yang korupsi, kayanya dengan demikian akan menimbulkan efekjera bagi yang coba-coba korupsi~~~
Kalau untuk saat ini, saya tidak begitu yakin jika pemerintah mau mengabulkan usulan hukuman mati. Meskipun dikabulkan, mesti nantinya kriteria untuk sampai dihukum mati itu bisa sangat complicated. Di Indonesia ini, sebelum hukuman dibuat mesti dicari dulu celahnya. Apalagi kasus korupsi itu merupakan kasus para pejabat negara. Tentu mereka yang di jajaran atas pemerintahan tidak ingin membuat ranjau untuk mereka sendiri. Karena pengesahannya ada pada sidang di DPR, saya tidak yakin usulan seperti ini bakal lolos. Kecuali komposisi orang-orang yang duduk di DPR itu besok-besok benar-benar murni perwakilan rakyat, bukan perwakilan partai. Meskipun perintah berupa keras untuk memberantas korupsi, nyatanya tetap saja bocor, gara-gara kebijakan-kebijakan pemerintah juga sih untuk menghukumi mereka dengan pasilitas yang wow, tidak ada salahnya jika pemerintah melakukan hukuman mati bagi mereka yang merugikan negara (korup).
Memang tidak ada salahnya mempertimbangakn hukuman mati. Cuman pertanyaannya apakah pemerintah mau menerapkan hukuman seperti ini? Terus terang saya tidak yakin. Yang ada sebaliknya, hukuman koruptor makin banyak potongannya. |

If we look at Bayern Munich's weaknesses this season, it tends to be more tactical, which is quite reasonable to blame. Because when it comes to Bayern Munich's players themselves, I see that the team has the best players this season and also a coach who has experience. But somehow they were able to lose like that with the tactics they used this season so many people started to be surprised when Bayern Munich couldn't catch points from Bayer Leverkusen who have consistently won this season.
If you think the problem is in the tactical factor, it means the coach who has the responsibility for the problem. The coach who has the responsibility of making a proper tactics or strategies in each match. He also has a crucial role to keep the good mentality of all players in the whole season. So, it these are the problems, it makes sense if Bayern management blames Tuchel. Tuchel may be an experienced coach but he still can't understand well Bayern Munich squad. In some matches, I saw he made a bad lineup, including the match against Heidenheim in matchday 28. I'm not surprised if Bayern Munich failed to get points when they played against Bayer Leverkusen. Bayer Leverkusen has a coach who understands well how to make a proper tactic and has a great ability to improve the mentality of players. That's why many clubs in the world are interested in signing Xabi Alonso. It is because he manages Bayer Leverkusen in an excellent way. |

Statistically, Bayern Munich's chances of winning the match will be much greater because they are playing at home. But even so, we cannot ignore Arsenal's growing abilities this season, but what makes me a little doubtful is that they will not be able to face the pressure put on by Bayern Munich because after all, Bayern Munich will play better when the match takes place at home. Many surprises will happen in the second leg, Manchester City are favorites to beat Real Madrid at home, but I am still quite sure that Real Madrid have learned from last season.
It is in theory that a team which plays at home will have a higher chance to win the match. But in reality, sometimes the opponent which can play better because they have no pressure from the home base fans. Arsenal played better in Leg 1, it can happen again in Leg 2 although it will be at Bayern home. I think it will be about the tactics and mentality of the players. Which coach who choose better tactics and can motivate their players well, they will have bigger chance to win. Sure, Arsenal is a strong team from EPL, they won't be easy to defeat although they are playing away. For the match Man City vs Real Madrid, Real Madrid is a very experienced team in UCL. It won't be a very big problem to play away. If Ancelotti can choose the right tactics, they even can have a better chance although they will play at Man City home. Real Madrid knows well how to play with a confidence although it is in the opponent's home. Likewise with Barcelona and even though many people had doubts before, they managed to make conditions better. What's interesting I think is the match between Bayern Munich vs Arsenal because the two of them had quite fierce competition in the second leg. If Arsenal fail then they will always be said to be unable to face Bayern Munich, this has happened like several previous seasons.
Yep. Barcelona showed to people that playing away is not a problem for them. They could beat PSG in Leg 1, it was in PSG home. They even could score 3 goals in PSG home. This can be also happened in the match of Bayern Munich vs Arsenal and Man City vs Real Madrid. |
