You should know that Erik ten Hag was successful in his first season at Manchester United, because Erik ten Hag managed to make Manchester United finish in third place in his first season. Therefore, even if, for example, Erik ten Hag was at Chelsea and was successful like that in his first season, then of course Chelsea would not sack him either.
Chelsea is not like Manchester United, the owners don't give second chance and they're not relenting when the appointed coach in charge looks incompetent. Todd Boehly sack Mauricio Pochettino and was bad news for the Blues because Mauricio Pochettino have sealed the europa spot but couldn't convert his chances. Manchester United hooked up with Erik Ten Hag because he was the man for the job. He deliver quite exceptional tasks for the growth of the Red Devils. Erik Ten Hag would have been successful in Chelsea.
Chelsea is not having a great day after roman was leaving from EPL. The fundamental issue is that the coach with a different philo would always be sacked by the owner and this is happening with some of chelsea players. The moment Chelsea fired Pochettino proved it. Considering that Chelsea was not doing so well the previous season and todd once again did the wrong thing, there was a rather poor choice made by the Blues owner like recruit amateur coach to handle the big club that has spent a half of billions last season just to rebuild the club.

Pochettino proved to the world that he was capable, but the owner was not even giving him a chance. Roman, on the other hand was always substituting a world-class coach for another. It's a very different period now. Todd is just bringing chelsea to the low standard with his owning style. 


This is obviously another setback for chelsea following how todd was once again repeat the same mistake like when he recruited potter as a new coach.
Things have not been going so well for the club.

Tod replaced Pochettino with an amateur coach. It's really inappropriate decision from him.

you can't really be sure the housing market price affected by various things and the dense population is one of them, if everyone is looking for a house big chance the price for a house gonna increase.
based on this data alone that i got from this site https://www.nesto.ca/home-buying/vancouver-housing-market-outlook/
Quote
The average selling price of a home in Vancouver increased by 2.8% year-over-year to $1,205,800 in April 2024.
The average selling price of a single-family home in Vancouver increased by 6.3% year-over-year to $2,039,800 in April 2024.
The average selling price of a townhouse/multiplex in Vancouver increased by 4.3% year-over-year to $1,127,200 in April 2024.
The average selling price of a condo in Vancouver increased by 3.2% year-over-year to $776,500 in April 2024.
The average rent in Vancouver decreased by 8.0% year-over-year to $2,982 for April 2024.
currently the price keeps climbing, i heard in canada the reason of this is because there population are too dense packed into one city alone including Vancouver, you can say each region differ but general rule of thumb if the region is too densely packed with people looking for rents and housing the logic would be the price rise as stated before the only solution if you don't want to wait is to buy house in the countryside which offer larger land for significantly lower prices but the disadvantage is that the public facilities are nowhere to be seen.

also you should know that if we are talking about 2008 housing bubble pops it was caused by people buying houses with little down payment and it got approved easily offering subprime mortgages to low income homebuyers with lax lending standarts leading to series of defaults which inevitably also caused massive disaster to the economy and therefore demand for homes plummeted significantly which pops the bubbles, i don't think such scenario will be playing out again but we'll see.

Hardworking is a necessity for surviving but sometime it doesn't matter how hardworking one can be but the  ability for an individual to work smart, discover his/her talent where necessary and know how to apply it in order to make the best utilization of any little available opportunity. There many people that work for 20hours daily without a tangible wages but smart person that now how to discover opportunities can work for less than 20hours daily and make a better income.
which honestly aside from the fact that it might be an interesting proposition for ourselves to work less and get paid more it also carries risk meaning it forces us to go out of our safe zone and chase that higher wage but also its not as easy as most of the people pictured it out to be we are literally competing with hundred of thousands of other people out there trying to achieve the same thing and probably will eventually come across some people that are also pursuing the same exact thing in the same exact path and have more or less the same self worth its gonna be a difficult road to take but it is what it takes to be better than we are before.
the smart people will definitely figure out that if they worked 20 hours a day and nothing has changed they probably need a change on their way to approach how to earn money and eventually finding some other opportunity since staying means detrimental for health and future success.
for me personally, finding opportunity is a must, its the only way we can find ourselves a better life otherwise we'll just be the same person we are yesterday.

I agree with you, not all things that our teachers taught us is true, some of them is kinda biased because there are people who are born rich and that is because of their parents' hardships or they actually came from the family of the rich. some people is working and striving hard to become successful because that's what imprinted in our mind but if you see some people still not successful and can't see that they are rich, some of them still earning enough for their day to day needs. Sometimes, it's not all about working hard, we should accompany it with practicality, determination and being strategic, we need to atleast learn how to manage our financials, so on and so fort.
guess what teacher should stick to the curriculum and syllabus just teach the people all the basic they will know first hand based on experience on what to do next, but never have the mindset that life is as simple as working hard and then suddenly we got millions on our bank account life doesn't work that way and its not a race either but there's definitely effort need to be spent to make our dreams come true, can't just sit around and hoping miracle happens.

life's success is combination of many thing and there's no right ingredient, everyone find out what works for them, hardwork is just one factor out of many, some people could be so lazy but they can also achieve success just see those speculators, some people probably make millions out of investing in some coin overnight without doing anything, life got unique way to make people rich its not always by hard work unless you're working the conventional jobs.

At last, Modric gets a fresh contract extension good for one more season and people's prediction was totally true about this. While I thought it would be beneficial if Kroos stayed but he had the option to retire even earlier at the height of his career and it was really disappointed me considering that how a lot his contribution to the club. That Perez has extended his stay with the team for another season makes me happy. It pleases me much to see Modric still around.

Next season, he will lift the UCL once more. Perez is clearly doing all in his power to make sure this amazing team wins the UCL once more the next season. Madrid is trying for its sixteenth UCL. I find it incredible how dedicated Modric is to this team.

It has turned out to be his wisest move to join Real Madrid after leaving Tottenham.

Xabi Alonso has tried to win the final match of Europa league. They already performed well during the season, but it was unlucky that they couldn't play with their best level in the final match. I think Xabi Alonso still has a lack experience to face the final match as a manager. If he already has enough experience, he may win the match against Atalanta. Sure he has the experience in the final but it was when Xabi as a player. It is a different experience, Xabi needs an experience for coach career.

Xabi Alonso has another chance to finish the season with unbeaten record again next season. Although it seems will be so difficult but it is not impossible. But what I want to see is Xabi Alonso wins the first international trophy as a manager. Xavi will try a new experience in UCL, Leverkusen will play in UCL for the next season.

However, Xabi Alonso has a great record as a young manager so far.


I also think Xabi Alonso lack of experience as manager hurt his team in Europa League final. They had great season but couldn't win final game. Alonso knows what it's like to play in big games but managing is different. He needs more experience to make good decisions and motivate his players when it matters most. But I think he will learn from this and do better next time. Next season Leverkusen has chance to go far in Champions League and Alonso can show what he can do on biggest stage. Winning trophy as manager would be amazing, and I think he can do it. Alonso is a young manager with a lot of potential, and I'm excited to see how he grows and succeeds in the future.

He lacks of mentality combined with still have less experience in term of tactic compared to the gasperini. Look at when gasperini was surprisingly implementing man on man marking, it was totally reduce leverkusen's attacking line which was using the build up from the bottom. Lack of good players were also the main problems here.
Leverkusen didn't have creative attackers who can leave from being guarding by its opponent. Gasperini's strategy was really killing xabi's team in that game. No doubt that many people were calling him as a genius. Even though this is his first trophy since 7 years coached atalanta.
Gasperini deserved to be appreciated by a lot of people here. He has been doing great job by helping atalanta to get the europa league trophy.It helps atalanta plays in the UCL as well.
186  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are your holdings ready for this altcoinseason? on: June 02, 2024, 11:11:17 AM
latest price dips has been setting me up to get the best of the market, i've been accumulating quite the amount of coins and i'm pretty sure that i'm ready for the upcoming altcoin season though it may or may not come, to be fair right now price of altcoin are already quite elevated but the recent dips has been giving an opportunity for adding some coin into my investments.
I'm feeling the pressure not to miss out on this bull run. I'm confident in my portfolio of solid coins, but I don't think they're quite cutting it. I want my investments to bring in serious wealth. I've heard about meme coins making people rich overnight, but I'm a bit wary of jumping into that arena. By the way, do you think older coins will see the biggest price surges compared to newer ones? What are your thoughts on this?

I think the old coin will have the best place and I am sure it will find an ATH in the future. because there are still many old altcoins that have not shown growth on the exchange market. and in my opinion meme coins have a very high risk even though many of us have made big profits from them. so choose altcoins that have strong fundamentals and that have been able to survive for a long time in the crypto market.


long time existing could also mean the end of its lifecycle for many of the old altcoin that are below top 5, its the hard truth, some coins tanked, their trading volume decreased so hard it literally on the brink of delisting. at that point I better off going with the newer coin that still have really small chance to get delisted from big exchange because well they are new, thats when investing in old coin doesn't really mean anything anymore or it could mean the opposite of your expectation.
the only coin that have been existing for long and can be invested without much worries are probably the top 5 or the top 7 if we stretch a bit at least they got trading volume that is still massive about hundreds of million of dollar is good enough for long term sustaining.

so definitely i will rethink again my decision about investing in old coin other than bitcoin, ethereum, solana and BNB since usually these 4 are the one that make the most gain in bullrun.
187  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Launchpads are profitable in terms of investing. on: June 02, 2024, 10:52:56 AM
They are good because the project launched in it is already guaranteed to be in the market shortly but this is only applied to project in exchange launchpad. But they have too many rules like whitelist only for people who stake their token and then even limited by share, that is too cumbersome for me. Better to invest in regular launchpad or directly in the token website
For some investors, that is their definition of being good but IMO that's not enough. What if the project doesn't have a good use case or Fundamental? Many aren't still going to invest on it and its value are still going to be small, then later on it will still get de-listed. OP said investing in Launchpad is easy but I can believe you more when you say it isn't because this is also what I read before even if I'm not investing on it.

This is another reason on why it's not worth it for some projects that we mistakenly think its good. Buying on the website directly is I think also strict a little bit but someone can face all of these as long as they can buy early at a cheaper price.
lets be honest here most of people that trades don't really care about fundamental or whether it gonna have use case, there are plenty of layer 2 project already but people keep creating it because its the hype, can't really care about fundamental if the narrative just stuck and the money circulating is also stuck, I personally when it comes to following launchpad as long as its already being sponsored to be listed in big exchange I already consider such coin to be good enough for short term investment, if we are talking about long term and fundamental surely we gonna choose bitcoin and ethereum instead its more obvious with its future and certainty while most of these altcoin that are in launchpad are mostly just some test and experiment just to create something for the sake of creating something which usually doesn't have any innovation besides the gimmicky TPS improvement whatsoever or trying to make transaction cheaper through the use of their blockchain but usually thats just all.

despite of that, people are still staking money in these platforms by the millions because they know that due to current trending narrative that is being pushed by many institutional investors including VCs and all, we can't deny the fact that the money is circulating there and we just want that little share.
so yeah, use case and fundamental is irrelevant at this point its not even worth mentioning when we are talking about new project that potentially could give us money but having fundamental and use case definitely a plus point.
188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it worth to join airdrop? on: June 02, 2024, 10:41:35 AM
Nowadays airdrops hype is back again and due to some projects gave a decent amount of money among its contributors, people are joining randomly even without analysis anything. And many shit projects announcing airdrops and try to attract investors for their projects. Many shit projects already gained millionaires of subscribers in their channel but they are keep doing fake promises. I would say, you can join airdrop but analysis them. Don't join blindly.
yeah, maybe now there are quite a lot of airdrops that pay pretty well. However, we know that this is still very little compared to the number of airdrops currently. If you want to take part in the airdrop, you should choose a project that has great potential. I think, if you focus on doing all the tasts from various airdrops, it will really waste time.
the dilemma of following airdrop if its being sponsored by big venture capital and with great amount of seed funding money its being farmed by so many people to the point where there are millions of participants which means even if there's millions of dollar allocated for the participant it just means few dollar for probably months of works, join the airdrop held by these project makers that aren't really being invested by rich ventures then we are getting really small amount of money, its really hard determining which gonna be beneficial for us, always remember that these airdrop is never that interesting when we are talking about the reward unless very few of airdrop but even that occur probably every bullrun once.

therefore if we are talking about whether or not joining airdrop is worth it, it depends on you, how much money you can earn hourly from your work aside from doing airdrop if you think you make less than typical earning you can get from airdrop just try it out and find out.
but if your time worth more, just don't do airdrop but focused on trading on their coin instead, do you know that right now NOT coin has been growing 4x of its initial price?



at this point your time better spent doing some technical analysis instead, with 10x leverage already gives you 4000% profit consider it with doing all the complicated tasks just for few dollars.

That's it. Real Madrid became the European champions for the 15th time. Twice more than any other team in Europe. They were also the deserving ones as they defeated almost all of great competitors to take the title. The toughest competitor they had to go through might have been Manchester City followed by Bayren Munich.
Dortmumd too is a great team and gave Real Madrid a good run for the money. They created equally great chances but Real Madrid were a better team on the field.
Real Madrid had to wait till 74th minute to score a goal from a heading of Dani Carvajal. Dortmund were emotional and a lag in their defense made them lose their possession and Vinicius Junior score an easy one on one goal in the 83rd minute. Bad luck for Dortmund who reached the finals after 11 years and again got restricted to runner ups.
Dortmund can do nothing against one of greatest winger in the world. Thanks for carvajal and vini. You are the best players in this game. Vini made it different caused by he was able breaking dortmund's defnesive line through his goal. I saw that how dortmund frustrated when vini and carvajal were scoring in that game.
No doubt that since it was the final of UCL. Dortmund was trying so hard to make sure the club would be winning the UCL trophy but the quality of players are the main difference here. It's still real madrid's biggest opponent in this season is manchester city which was also forcing real madrid to play till penalty.

Haaland did a great job to make Manchester City win a title.
Manchester City have proven beyond doubt that they're already the top club in the English Premier League this season. Winning matches without difficulty and also leading to enter infront above other competitive oppositions. Erling Haaland is not the only player that should receives accolades and glory for winning the EPL title for Manchester City. There's presence of other key players in the club and I've watch closely to see how incredible they've been under the regime of Pep Guardiola.
City was struggling at the middle of season but manchester city has been get rid of all problems at the late season. Even arsenal was not even able in winning the league for two times in a row caused by manchester city. Manchester city is having winning mentality unlike its opponents in the premier league.
No fuckin way for city to win EPL 4 times in a row if the club was still performing so badly. The citizen has ever break a new record as a club that is winning EPL 4 times in a row.

Arsenal was not even winning an EPL trophy since two decades ago. This is why manchester city is likely keep dominating PL next season coming from how consistent they are in winning the EPL trophy.
It's very hard to imagine city will not be contender to win EPL for the fifth times. Manchester city will make it happen soon.

This can become the next narrative to see city win EPL 5 times in a row.

It is always best to have contingencies when it comes to assets. Definitely, practice the saying, don't put all your eggs in one basket. But of course, you should have knowledge at least what you are venturing into. I understood, a lot of people want to jump into crypto market, because they thought it is quite easy to get rich. However, they will find out quick that there's more than meets the eyes in this market.
agreed things never that simple, if someone could make money through investment doesn't mean we can but honestly speaking in the case of crypto the solution to making money and offsetting the inflation is simple a f.
just look at the chart of bitcoin spans between 2012 to 2024 here https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/
the key here to success in cryptocurrency quite literally is just holding it which is funny enough the simplest thing someone with the mind that is eager to invest can do, just holding crypto already gets us to multiple folds of our initial capital which is crazy.
the people that lost from investing in crypto probably just don't have the patience to hold on to their crypto longer or they just be having some unreasonable fear that crypto might be doomed whenever it hits bottom price while in truth its not and even speaking the fact the bottom price of every bearish is the ath of previous cycle which kinda speaks a lot about the prospect of investing in crypto which also means so far the easiest way to offset the inflation.

diversification is great and contingency is needed but with cryptocurrency getting some share of our investment portfolio I think we can safely say that it has successfully offsetting current inflation by massive amount of price growth.
192  Economy / Economics / Re: Labor is really the birth of happiness? on: June 01, 2024, 05:41:23 AM
hard work doesn't equate to happiness and usually happiness comes when you have financial stability and your family could afford whatever they want to afford. it is happiness, those manual laborer aren't lacking hardwork even many times they over working, they work harder than most of the people yet their fate never change because hardwork never equates to more money, but it is required in achieving your dream.

if you trying to find happiness you should know what make you unhappy first, is it financial unstability? the feeling of powerless when you can't afford to pay for food or medical bills? if that's the case, try to make much more money through leveraging your knowledge and hardwork, make each other complement.
there are many teacher that says hardwork begets good luck but they never teach about people that did hardwork and still have miserable fate at the end of the day and also those people that tried hard to become rich through entrepreneurship and will still become poor anyway because they keep failing never found success.
the world was never linear, being rich is just simply having a good opportunity at the right time and being the right person and its always like this.

thats why there's something called work smart not work hard, see those billionaires, they are letting other people work to achieve his dream in exchange for money which means labour, meaning what matter most is achieving your dream, not other.
193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: how long do we think memecoins narrative is going to last ? on: June 01, 2024, 05:23:06 AM
that's why people keep trying the luck with memecoins and it won't stop soon. Rather you'll see the fever of memeocins will increase with time cause everyone want to quick money Which is possible with memecoins only.
This is what I keep saying.

As long as there’s some memecoin that gives its investors profit, memecoins will always persist. Lots of people hate memecoins saying it’s useless and just takes up space in the cryptoscene. But some people genuinely get profit from investing or trading it so I’m pretty sure we’ll keep seeing memecoins around.
meme coin main purpose these day is for pump and dump anyway and the amount of people that willing to get involved with the pump and dump scheme of meme coin actually many though there are legit meme coins but the number usually is smaller compared to the meme coin deployed in the ethereum blockchain alone, even worst if compared with meme coin across various blockchain since meme coin usually also creating their own clone in various blockchain for the sake of trying their luck maybe the meme coin they created may get valued high by the market.

So i have the same opinion too that as long as meme coin can still be used for the purpose of trading with huge volatility that could make the distribution of wealth between one party to another faster through the means of speculation it won't go anywhere.
trust me some people are just getting into crypto space just to try getting rich from meme coin they don't even care about the existence of altcoins that tries to provide product, most of them just don't care but instead so focused in finding the next hidden gems under category of meme coin.
the new meme coin including, wif, mew, ladys, dog are the new meme coin that could reach hundred millions of dollar fully diluted valuation in one go just within one bullrun you can imagine how fast the money moves between these meme coin
easily beating some of the most prominent altcoins out there despite already trying to market their coin for years its got beaten by meme coin within a year, so if we are talking about whether narrative going to last, yes it will more likely last quite long.
194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Launchpads are profitable in terms of investing. on: June 01, 2024, 04:28:09 AM
launchpad was always great if its sponsored by the big launching platform like binance, back then I think launchpad is really profitable because most of people still don't have idea, but after sometime and many people realize they can get easy money from launchpad, or some kind, suddenly there's massive flow of investment going in, everyone wanted that piece of cake so the launchpad platform decide to go with various counter measure to keep the participant controlled so to control the reward distribution and keep it from being too little.

but as always thing like this doesn't last forever now the trend shifted its spotlight toward launchpool where you just need to stake and get share of the coin instead of needing to buy or convert your coin to another.
which honestly may be better off for people since they just risking themselves for volatility not for a coin that may tank its price upon launches though most of the time they just pumping instead, but its definitely taking the direction for the better.
right now only people that have millions of dollars in their wallet and able to afford to stake their money for the period of few months that gonna make real money through the use of these launchpool platform.
same thing with binance, bybit, bitget, sometime the campaign limits the amount staked too but most of the time it won't do a thing because the participant will still many.

So in short they are always good when there's not much participant, when there's too much though, we better off finding some other opportunity out there.
but its still okayish investment so far, just don't expect the reward to be consistent throughout the entire year following series of launchpools.
195  Economy / Economics / Re: What scares me from investing in gold. on: May 31, 2024, 04:40:45 AM
It is true that the price of gold will really depend on world economic conditions, from what I know the price of gold tends to be very difficult to experience a decline and even if there is a decline it is very slight and if we choose to wait for the price to stabilize before buying it of course there is nothing wrong with that, but we have to save first so you can buy it when market conditions are good so you can make a profit.
Honestly i think its not that gold price rarely have any decline, but usually its not as volatile as stock or crypto some people just ignore the decline but it definitely is there
below chart even shows the price statistic of gold over the course of hundred years you will see that funny enough the chart shows pattern that looks exactly like bitcoin, or other investment instruments in general, they always have similarity in such pattern, the only difference is that one investment is less volatile than the other but if you see the chart at wider time period you will see that its actually quite similar.


source : https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/XAUUSD/

if we are talking about the short term period of gold price in the other hand also have occasional price decline, but due to the big market cap that gold market is having, its a lot less volatile compared to other, also the firm believe that gold is the true currency by some faiths also have a big role here.
therefore ensuring the price of gold to be more than fiat, which also contributed by the fact that people have been believing that gold will always outperform money and keeps your wealth from inflation which sort of works like self fulfilling prophecy.
196  Economy / Economics / Re: Work From Home or The "Laptop Class" is Immoral or Not? on: May 31, 2024, 04:23:32 AM
I feel like the ultra-rich class wants people to not work from home because work from home devalues their grip on power. Their properties in skyscrapers become worthless, their office spaces go bankrupt, their apartments have vacancies, their expensive urban utility companies become useless... People can go back to the village and deliver the same work so long as there's an internet connection, be it 4g or ADSL.

I HATE this propaganda against working from home. Like yes, at least give the people the option to go to the office. If they want to, great. If I had offices near my house that I own I'd go to. But I'm thinking of never renting again now that I can work from home more easily.
working from home as far as I know, is more efficient definitely better than just working from office where no real value is added, working from office occasionally is okay but doing it a whole week just doesn't really seem the greatest idea when all things could be done remotely.
even from this forbes article https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/remote-work-statistics/ 35% of worker feels more productive working remotely because there's less time wasted for commuting, less distraction and all.
the thing that really making me feel better suited working remotely is often time the poltiics that happens within the office, sometime you know the politic within the office in my opinion just often time greatly distracted from doing something that actually contributes to the company.
with working remote, you got your assignment, you gonna finish the task within certain period of time then you can focus on it but not with working in the office  there's just too many things to take care about and I'm not even mentioning about the culture of overworking just to looks good in other eyes.

so far I think those ultra rich people just feeling like if their employees aren't working like in front of them, then they ain't working which is strange since all the tasks couldn't be automatically done by itself.
but well they are the employer anyway, they definitely can have preference toward what kind of working culture they prefer, since they are the one that gives salary to them payrolls.
but I just hope that some higher ups actually can understand that sometime some work better be done remotely for the sake of less distractions.
but of course there's certain job that can't be done remotely, as many have stated.
197  Economy / Economics / Re: Money addiction on: May 31, 2024, 04:05:44 AM
In the world we are today, everyone needs money, that is why most people work earnestly just to make money, not that they are addicted to it but they are just trying to survive because it's not easy, someone can't really survive in this world without spending, either buying or selling but in one way or the other, one must spend, especially for married couples, it's not really easy for them to stay or take care of their family without money, so they need to make more money even if they have where they are working to earn for a living but still they will need a side work to support their hustle, to make sure they meet their ends meet.
More money means more life security anyway, without money we can't afford good insurance, without money we can't really survive as you stated depending on the welfare program isn't really a solution either, we as a citizen expected to make contribution through taxes.
so its rather understandable that someone will try hard to secure their life, trying to prevent whatever bad thing might be happening to them through earning more and more money, the entire system world wide depends on the monetary system meaning the more money we got then we are probably on the winning sides.
can't really blame people to really favour money when its the thing that truly needed to live in current economic system.

Op that scale of analysis is correct but you have to know that everyone in the world is want to make more money and the only people who are not interested to make money are the wealthy people and who is the wealthiest man in the world is unknown. But we have world richest person and the world richest person too is still looking for more money so nobody is exempted. Rich people work to maintain their rich. So money is something that makes people to be addicted because we must survive.
its not that wealthy people don't really seek money but its just that they are seeking money on a grander scale, the small left over money doesn't matter to them that much anymore because probably their dream is already different than most of ordinary people.
you know its probably because when they are rich they quite literally can buy anything they don't consider luxurious stuff as something they sought after anymore.
at that point as you said they just probably just trying to maintain their wealth and that's it.

but frankly, there are still many billionaires out there that keeping seeking more and more money and probably trying to set a record.
overall, their purpose is already differ compared to normal people probably they just want to be over achiever even though they already are.
198  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Biggest problem is that stablecoins usdt and usdc only few blockchains on: May 31, 2024, 03:40:35 AM
the stablecoin will eventually deployed in various blockchain anyway its just matter of time, probably the most difficult thing in making the stablecoin available in various blockchain is due to the fact that they need to add some supply in every blockchain, they need to keep the number of supply consistent with their reserved money, so they can't just deploy their token there, they also need to think about probably substracting and adding supplies from other blockchain too.
at least thats from my understanding about the reason why these stablecoin don't just deploy their stablecoin in other blockchain more specifically the EVM ones its quite literally just one step away from deploying the smart contract but they need to ensure certain things.
the blockchain that you mentioned at the time being are indeed the most utilized one, prominently tron, but right now even tron is having rather high fee, personally i'd like to use solana more these days and BNB.
the good feeling when we are using stablecoin that's popular and listed anywhere is the availability, if tron fee is high for sending stablecoin just switch over into using the other chain and we can easily figure out the transaction fee by just checking it.
ethereum is out of question, with the presence of layer 2 blockchain? i don't think its still a common practice to send stablecoin using ethereum, most people probably already long switched over to layer 2 which has the same exact mechanism as using ethereum anyway.

I think its pretty clear with that, the good meme coin or fairly speaking the one that making it to the big exchange listing usually gains sudden recognition and massive investment.
its sort of lottery indeed, a meme coin could be comning out of nowhere and suddenly its listed in binance the next day, thats just how random it is, thats why many people that snipes them are willing to put all their money into sniping them by quantity over quality because they know things so random even the most undervalued meme coin might be valued hundred millions by the next week.
its like basically there's a force that causes some of the very specific meme coin suddenly got all the recognition in one fell swoop which is pretty strange but it is what it is.
the newer meme coin is a proof of that.

but sometime even the bigger whales are also playing some game with this, if you observe the dex propertly you might find out that these whales are always buying certain meme coin by large sum, sometime spread through multiple transaction through dexes in order to avoid being tailed by some shrimp and then the sudden massive pump begins.

Currently I agree with you that meme coins are currently experiencing a rapid increase due to speculation and sensation as well as being driven by social media which currently often reports about meme coins which are experiencing an increase, especially Shiba Inu which is in the top 10 coinmarketcap and Pepe which is is in the top 20 coinmarketcap.so this becomes a trend for everyone to get into.
unfortunately though by the time it either got popular in social media or listed in binance the price probably already soared which means there's no point in getting in other than just getting into some FOMO hypes, by that time, we more likely to lose some money.

On Saturday is going to be a wonderful day in the world of football,and in the history of Dortmund, because they are going straight to lift that trophy.Real Madrid already know now that they really have something serious they need to prepare for because Dortmund has the best defence in the Champions league this season,and if Madrid will be able to beak it,they must device a means that will enable them get past those defenders.Dortmund must depend on counter attacks if they want to get goals in this match because I know Madrid are going to dominate them totally in terms of play and possession,but Dortmund will get more chances than Madrid due to the counter attack system.
You are definitely joking about that dortmund has better counter attack compared to the real madrid. When it comes to counter-attacking, Real Madrid is far more capable with Vinicius and Rodrygo paired with Bellingham than Dortmund's attackers considering how big the gap for goal scored between madrid and dortmund. Dortmund was fortunate not to meet City or Bayern in the quarterfinals and semi-finals. They were facing ez opponents unlike real madrid.

Things will be extremely different for the UCL final. Real Madrid will use all available resources to thwart Sancho and Adeyemi. Real Madrid will not be stupid enough to be overconfident in their ball possession game.
They will allow Dortmund to dominate the game, after which Madrid will employ an unusual plan, similar to the match versus City and Bayern.
