What makes us good investors is patience and to make our thinking for the long term, not short, and not to put all our money in investing one currency, but diversification of currencies is required, we must develop a plan and an investment goal and adhere to it. In addition, if you want to become a good investor, you must learn from your past mistakes and invest in what you can afford to lose.
Yes, patience is an important feature of any good investor, because you can build a strategy for the future as much as you want, but if some force majeure circumstances appear, the whole strategy can be leveled by wrong actions that were taken in the rush of the moment. Of course, you can act according to the moment and just try to react quickly to the events that are taking place, but without a long-term strategy, it will hardly be possible to achieve a tangible gain, because local gains will then be eaten up by local failures. But if you define long-term goals for yourself and determine the tactics of actions for the events that are happening, then the probability of success will increase many times. However, no one has canceled the temperament factor yet, and therefore coordinate everything according to your temperament  Wink

Ateta has not really performed well as a coach,I think he is inexperienced enough to coach a big team like Arsenal.Arsenal needs a coach like Antone Conte who I think will take the club to another level,make use of those young players and get the best out of them.As it standsthe players will deliberately  loose matches to get Arteta sacked from Arsenal before they can do well on the pitch.
And some senior players have shown their feeling to the club  that they are no longer happy staying at the club,Bellerin for example.I wonder what Arsenal we look like if they decide not to sign  another player,and feel they've concluded their activities in this season's current transfer window.
It’s not about hiring a new manager or something. The Management would want to put into consideration hiring a high profile manager involves a lot of money. So they’re okay with paying less to any manger and care less about the results that comes with it. They’re more experienced and tactical Managers around that could’ve taken this club to a different level and make them contenders of both European and Domestic trophies. Considering Antonio Conte's style of play, I don’t think it’ll suit the caliber of players in the team. He plays a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 formation. A while different philosophy and tactics that hasn’t been deploy effectively in the Arsenal team. I doubt the Board would consider giving out finds to buy players in the Transfer market when the window opens.
Yes, Stan Kroenke has already shown an unheard-of generosity by his standards, spending almost 150 million euros, so the club will rather be busy looking for a new coach who uses the purchased players diligently than start a new transfer company Wink Now it is difficult to envy Arteta, because the head coach is caught between the hammer of discontent with the team's fans, who are dissatisfied with the latest results and places that the team shows and the anvil of the club's management, which seems to have allocated the requested funds to strengthen the team under the requests of the head coach and is waiting for the team's results to strengthen accordingly and should also respond to the discontent of the club's fans.

Anyway according to the developments of the evening.
Real Madrid bid is 160m€
PSG wants 180m€
Thats fancy, I thought PSG will stick with the other option of trying to convince Mbappe on his last year to extend the contract then let Mbappe leave at the end of the season as a free agent because they seems to have a pretty good financial situation Roll Eyes In the end, PSG just want to get the maximum value from Mbappe in case if Real Madrid sign him
Well Perez got alot of money from his shenanigans because some teams paid a hefty fines for leaving the ESL
This is still not obvious and events can develop both in one direction and in the other. If all this is true, then the owner of the club hoped until the last that he would be able to agree with Mbappe on a contract extension and these 180 million euros are some symbolic feature after which Paris Saint-Germain will be able to accept the inevitable and release the player. Because everyone knows that the financial issue of the case is not so critical for the Paris club. As far as I know, the player has already agreed on the terms of a personal contract with Real Madrid for a long time, but at the same time does not want to spoil relations with his current club. At the same time, Mbappe seems to have already rejected PSG's proposed terms for a contract extension three times.

Messi was a big part of their game,they played everything around him now they have to play a lot diffrent
Simply, we can say that Messi is the soul of Barcelona game. Without him, Barcelona game style totally changed to a new one. Now, they have difficulties adapting to their new game style. If they cannot find a suitable game style soon, all players will get difficulty playing with their best performance.
you have that feeling that no one could fulfill Messi's position in the field.
Exactly. No player is able to carry out the role of Messi in the field. It will be a big problem if this situation continues until the end of the season. They will lose confidence to win because no one in the squad motivates them in the field.
In fact, no player will be able to play the role of Messi on the field in the near future, because I am not sure that Barcelona will be able to quickly find another six-time winner of the golden ball  Grin Therefore, I think that Barcelona needs to make slightly different game structures than those that took place under Messi. You can talk about the soul of the club as much as you like, but the player's departure has already happened and in any case would have happened within a few years, because age has its power even over outstanding players who can no longer indefinitely keep the highest level of play consistent with the status and expectations of a big club.
1805  Economy / Economics / Re: Why don't banks work with cryptocurrency? on: August 23, 2021, 11:59:28 PM
Government-controlled central banks are in charge of banks, and they are supervised and controlled by the government. Bank transactions must include the usage of interest or commissions, from which they might profit, and the use of cryptocurrencies will impact their own interests. Because bitcoin is decentralized and anonymous, it will be impossible to trace encrypted transactions, such as those used for unlawful transactions. Furthermore, the price of cryptocurrency is fluctuating, making it difficult for banks to make a consistent profit.
I think that crypto usage is already taking a cut from banks and governments all over the world, and in future that cur will become bigger. I don't think it will be an easy road, until now we had a clear passage because many didn't get all this seriously, but that is changing and I think we will see some greater obstacles before crypto conquer the world.
This process is not so unambiguous and develops in different directions. There have been and will be obstacles in any case, because issues of public administration and monetary policy are vitally important for any government and therefore no one is going to arrange constant experiments in this area. The activities of the banking system are clearly regulated by the state and therefore it takes some time for a viable regulatory framework to be formed and banks could safely work with cryptocurrencies without fear of negative consequences from the regulator due to actions in this area. When all this is more or less settled, then it will be possible to talk about some kind of expansion or narrowing.
1806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: August 23, 2021, 11:50:48 PM
PSG is already going at 3 for 3 and that is not an easy task to handle, starting with 3 wins is always a sure fire way to show the world that you mean business, Mbappe is not going to put all year and hope to get on another team, everyone talked about how he wanted to leave to go to Madrid and that could still be very well true who knows but that doesn't change the fact that dude plays very well even though he wants to be on another team.
I do not know 100% guaranteed if he wants to leave or not, but at least we all know (at least for now) that he is not going to play with 99%, he is putting 100% on all games and that is the thing that matters the most, if you can get the maximum out of Mbappe for all season you are going to be successful, that kid is something special, probably one of the best we have seen in the world at around that age (maybe except one or two players).
In fact, PSG's start looks very dubious - they conceded 5 goals in three games. This is a record figure for teams that are at the top of the table. If they continue to play in this way, then any serious rival (for example in the Champions League) will bury their ambitions. However, such indicators can most likely be attributed to the start of the season and poor teamwork of the players.
In my opinion, PSG are still hiding their true strength, because of some of their new players, PSG have only fielded Wijnaldum and Hakimi to fill the core positions in the current squad, while Messi, Ramos and Donnarumma have not played even once until now and this shows that PSG have not played yet 100% showing the strength of his team to the football public.
Now, although still without messi, ramos and donnarumma, PSG are able to top the standings with a perfect score without losing from 3 matches, so just imagine what PSG strength is like when messi, ramos, donnarumma, mbappe and neymar play together, doesn't that make PSG become the perfect and dangerous club in the world?
Seeing the current PSG squad filled with star players, I remember the movie The Expendables which contains heroes from various cool movies Grin
Yes, although sometimes the desire to improve something good in itself can lead to deterioration  Wink But I don't think this is exactly the case, because such a stellar version of the squad is selected for the Champions League matches. The principles of rotation have not been canceled yet, and it is strategically advantageous for Paris Saint-Germain to have a different version of the composition for participation in the domestic championship, also taking into account the age of the new team leaders. In any case, with such a selection of players, the main emphasis in the team game will be on attack, not defensive actions. By the way, everyone seems to know that Messi was not the best defensive player in his previous career Grin

Also the fact that it was the F1 that decided to withdraw, and not Japan which is the difference. Japan could have said no to Olympics because of the pandemic, but they didn't
There was too much political interest in saying no to the Olympics game. Billions of dollars spent in stadiums and structures.
Japan needed the games.
The GP track is already there it will be not a big loss if they skip 1 year.
Yes, public opinion is already so agitated by the past Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games that are currently taking place, that it is not in the interests of government officials to provoke this opinion again once again. Therefore, this decision was probably mutual, because the cooperation will certainly continue in the future and there is no point in holding the stage in uncomfortable conditions when there is an opportunity to move the stage to another place with mutual interest. When there are applicants who agree to hold this stage with a certain number of spectators, and not in Japan without spectators, then for every reasonable organizer of the competition in the person of the F1 management, the choice is obvious.

Manchester City are preparing to make a final push to sign Tottenham striker Harry Kane this week. Daniel Levy still seem to be decisive about holding on to him. Harry Kane played for Tottenham for the first time against Wolves but it was for a short time period. He still seems like he wants to leave if possible. I can feel the tension between Kane and Levy now. Let's see what we will get until the end of the transfer window.
The most important thing is that this situation does not affect the level of Kane's own game. It's hard to motivate yourself when your professional future is unclear until the very end of the transfer window, no matter how highly professional a player you are. Because it is very mentally difficult when there is a chance to move to a club with a higher level of ambition, but because of the position of one person to stay at the same level. Daniel Levy's desire to keep a player of this level in his team is understandable, but everything has its price and there is an option to get his own version of Bale in some periods of his career at Real Madrid, who was more passionate about golf and playing for the national team.

Juventus shocked the world by losing two points against Udinese today. They couldn't prevent a comeback from 2-0 to 2-2. Although they were a way more powerful team, they just screwed things up in the second half. Ronaldo's last minute goal was cancelled by VAR because of an offside and they had no choice rather than making do with one point here.
There are still rumours about Ronaldo that he might leave in this transfer window. But I don't think such transfer will happen in the remaining days.
I also have doubts that Ronaldo left Juventus.
But this first game was very strange, they tie with a much inferior team, Ronaldo starts on the bench. I don't understand what they want, they have the best player in the world and then they just seem to forget he's there.
Ronaldo could be gone, I am not sure if there is any logical argument over keeping him in the bench, either dude wants out or Juventus just wants to find a suitor for him and making him available and known to the whole world by putting him in the bench.
It is obvious that his time at Juventus at an end if he is at the bench when the game starts. Not like he is some sort of player that needs recouping neither because that is basically the greatest athlete that takes care of his body as well, he is always 100% ready to play whenever he wants to, hell his videos of him telling his kids not to eat anything bad has been watched millions of times now. So long story short he was ready to play but didn't play, whoever requested it team or him, doesn't matter because that is a proof that he is not happy at the club and he will be gone soon whenever some other team gets him, it is all on other teams now to get him.
If the best player in the world is sitting on your bench and he is not injured, then there are objective reasons for this Wink Let's not forget that a similar story is happening now with another best player in the world, but only in France Grin Ronaldo's obvious problem is that he can't go anywhere. Although the absolute majority of clubs in the world would like to cooperate with him with pleasure, but the high salary and tournament ambitions of Ronaldo himself will not allow this to come true. Ronaldo feels his age and the fact that his playing characteristics decrease with time, so it is understandable that he wants to make the most of his career and play at the club with the highest ambitions.

When you are already the champions and the team roster didn't change too much, you do not really need to get better, or get used to things, first games are not a big deal for you because you are already just rolling the last season into a new one. But let's face it, even though Madrid and Barcelona lost last year, they also got a bit worse, Barcelona lost Messi and few others I think, and Madrid lost Ramos as the most important and their defense hasn't been proper, apparent from the 3 goals scored on them as well.
So long story short they both lost AND got worse, it wouldn't be a shock if ATM wins another season, I am not saying that is what will happen, it is football and we never know what will happen, hell they could get 3-4 injury all at the same time, not like it never happened to a team in football before, but they also have a good chance that is the important part.
If you are the current champion and are going to rest on your laurels next season, then the cruel reality will definitely show itself in all its glory and can destroy all your wonderful plans. Moreover, the championship of last season Atletico Madrid was not unconditional and Real Madrid and Barcelona were also fighting for the title of champion until the last rounds. Therefore, the surest chance for Atletico Madrid or any other club now is to collect as many points as possible at the beginning of the season and create a comfortable gap while Real Madrid and Barcelona are rebuilding their squads and hope that the overclocked giants will not be able to catch up at the end of the season  Grin

The amount of funds spent this season does not seem to be able to lift the achievements of arsenal, and it is time for the club management to rethink whether to keep Arteta or not, because to be honest the arsenal game in the last two matches has not seen any improvement at all, although it is too early to make two defeats as a result the reason for Arteta dismissal, but of course Arsenal management doesn't have to wait for a few more defeats to happen in order to fire Arteta, because if Arsenal  management continues to wait of course Arsenal will be in a pretty bad situation like last season.
Dude has been the manager of Arsenal for 88+ games now, nearly 90, not like this was the two games that he played. Dude is not a good manager Arsenal just have to accept that by now, I mean he is not doing anything exceptional with the team. I get that he can keep this team midtable and team is not making huge splash transfers neither so they do not really have anything to go from as well I am not blaming only Arteta, but he is also not a good manager neither, I wouldn't say he is a terrible one neither but he is not a good one neither.
I would say that the best case for him would be to end up with a lower level team to prove that he could go back to bigger names later on. Arsenal should spend some cash on getting some big name, and since they are already too late I do not think that they would be able to at this point, it would be quite hard, wish they got Mourinho before Roma did.
The Telegraph reports that Arteta held a meeting with the club's management, where he was given five matches to correct the situation with the team's results. This is the last chance for Arteta from the team management, after which he will be dismissed. By the way, the defeat against Arsenal was the 20th under the leadership of Arteta and it took 60 matches to get such a result. For example, for Arsene Wenger, who previously led Arsenal, it took 116 matches for 20 losses. However, there are some problems with the squad, because any coach will not be completely happy when you have COVER-19 Willian, Lacazette, Aubameyang, as well as Nketiah, Partey, Gabriel are injured.

We're at about $50,000 right now.  Bitcoin was perhaps the “best” investment opportunity when it was below $1,000, but it’s no longer likely to put up the super massive growth numbers anymore. At this price, it is just as likely that the a basket of technology stocks outperforms bitcoin from this point out. Bitcoin is likely going to largely correlate with the overall stock market from here.
Maybe you are right. From what I heard, the user base is increasing at a rate of around 50% to 100% per year. On the other hand, during the last 12 months, the exchange rates went up by around 500%. Even in the previous year, we had >100% rise in prices. Going by these numbers, I get an impression that Bitcoin is currently in the overpriced territory.
But I don't agree with one part of your statement. You are generalizing all the stocks, rather than focusing on tech stocks. Many of the tech stocks have gone up by as much as Bitcoin during the last 18 months. TSLA went up by 2,000% (although it is not a tech stock). Facebook went up by more than 100%. AMZN and AAPL went up by 80%. AMD gave >100% returns.
This is exactly what is alarming, because many people speak about the overheating of the stock market, and especially about high-tech companies. Therefore, it is not necessary to nod at other traditional sectors of the market, because the entire previous history of cryptocurrencies seems to teach that the correction in the cryptocurrency market is much more painful than in traditional markets. It will be terribly interesting to watch, or even just terrible to watch, what will happen in the markets when the state's financial stimulus measures finally begin to be curtailed due to the outbreak of the pandemic, because this cannot continue indefinitely. Unless, of course, the main purpose of these actions is hyperinflation.

I just read an article that Pochettino wants to be particularly careful with Messi and he should not be expected full-time on the pitch for quite some time. Ramos is still injured and seems to be playing the diva in the club. Some employees were said to have already complaint about his star attitudes. To be honest though I can imagine they are right. Ramos can be an idiot. He expressed all kinds of special wishes and complains if he doesn't receive it immediately. I am curious how they all will be getting along and whether there will be arguments about penalties and free kicks within the game. Pochettino can be happy on the one side, but on the other side he has to really deliver now.
On the one hand, the pause with Messi is already beginning to drag on. On the other hand, everyone understands perfectly well that you need to be more careful with Messi at the beginning of the season and it is not at all necessary to do a full load, given the age of the player and the fact that the main matches for which the contract with Messi was actually signed are still ahead.As for Ramos, I think that if this is true, then this is the cost of adapting to a new team, because Ramos is used to being a leader at Real Madrid and is trying to continue in the same spirit at Paris Saint-Germain, which may be perceived by many at the club with discontent. Moreover, Ramos has not yet earned leadership in the club with his game due to injury.

Today Harry Kane finally started to play but he wasn't in the starting eleven. He entered the match in the 72nd minute replacing Son. But he didn't do much and Tottenham managed to get a 1-0 win against Wolves away. Dele Alli scored the goal in the first minutes of the match. As Kane played at least for around 20 minutes, I wonder if he will start being in the starting eleven and if the transfer to City will happen.
Yes, this story still does not think to end, giving new food for thought. Because if Kane had come out from the first minutes, then the talk about moving to Manchester City would have subsided a little, and then he appeared at the end of the match, as if telling everyone that nothing has been decided yet and the situation can turn both in one direction and in the other. Against this background, the information from Radio 24 looks quite interesting that Tottenham is monitoring the situation with Ronaldo and wants to offer him a contract. Is it with the money from the sale of Kane? Wink However, this transition is unlikely to take place, because Ronaldo wants to be in a team that plays in the Champions League, with which Tottenham have very big problems Grin

David Beckham has held talks with Lionel Messi about his joining Inter Miami when his contract expires with PSG. It hasn't been much time since he was transferred by PSG. I don't think that it is time to talk about these things for Messi now. Actually, I want Messi to end his career at a European team.
In fact, it seems that Messi was going to end his career in Argentina, and Inter Miami seems to have already been mentioned before in the context of negotiations with Barcelona. In any case, it is unlikely that Messi will finish his career in a European team, unless it is Barcelona, or rather even if it was Barcelona, at least it did not work out for the last time. The piquancy of the situation is added by the fact that the finances of the club from Miami are not all right and the club was fined 2 million targeted funds for 2 seasons plus a fine of $ 5.6 million due to problems with the salary ceiling, and the co-owners of the club because of this began negotiations on the sale of their shares.

Barcelona no longer have Mr impossible in their team and now everyone takes them to be an average team, and if you ask me I don't see them challenging for top spot anymore...this will be another Atlético Madrid win as they are the only capable team( strong opposition)as far as Laliga goes.
Just last night Athletic Bilbao held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw despite having the least possession  but lets not write them off just yet.
The weird thing is that they do not have Messi anymore, but their defense sucked as well, and Messi wasn't a defensive player so the fact that they sucked on defense has nothing to do with the fact that they do not have Messi on the team anymore. I have always said, even while messi was here that their defense is way too slow and they need players that are much faster, people like Pique are great defensive players because of their minds and not their bodies but now their bodies are getting very old and very slow so now lesser talented people could end up passing them by just running circles around them.
This is why they need faster and quicker defenders that could stick to their man. Offense could be handled by the players they already have, people like Brian and depay and griezzmann are good players and can handle it, let's face it not many teams have that kind of trio, but their defense needs to get better.
Messi has never been known for a particularly strong defensive game, but Barcelona itself defended quite well. Another question is that a strong game in attack, firstly, pushes the game away from your own goal, significantly reducing the work of the defenders, and secondly, if you score more than the opponent by just one ball, you must definitely win  Wink Koeman just remembered about Messi after the draw with Athletic, that under Messi, the opponents were more afraid of Barcelona and Messi usually did not lose the ball after receiving it. At the same time, the same Pique was injured in the match in the first half and left the field and may not play in the next match with Getafe. Another defender, Eric Garcia, will miss the next match due to a red card.

Everything can be. Everyone knows perfectly well how Ronaldo treats his own substitutions during the game, and here is the first match of the championship and the player came out only in the 60th minute. Therefore, you can think about anything, and not just believe the words of Nedved and Allegri that Ronaldo remains at the club this season, while Nedved claims that the start of the match in the reserve is a joint decision of Ronaldo and the club. At the same time, information appears that Jorge Mendes, who is Ronaldo's agent, held talks with Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid, and that Tottenham is also interested in the situation with Cristiano about signing a contract.

I wouldn’t be so sure that this is what we want to happen. Governments receive partial control and, much more importantly, a source of money from the current fiat system. In turn, they provide services, care about welfare and safety inside the country, etc. I assume you’d expect them to continue doing that, right? But if we totally switched to cryptocurrencies the taxation would be so much complicated. How to ensure that everyone pays taxes if everyone tries to stay anonymous?
I don’t know, maybe it is possible to regulate somehow, maybe it will be so in the future. But the important question is: do we really need it? I think fiat and cryptocurrencies can coexist just fine, benefiting both governments and people.
Nations do not get a source of money from fiat to do stuff, I mean they shouldn't at least, printing money to do what a government has to do is not the right way. What they should do is tax people and get that money and use that money to help everyone, some stuff are not charged in this world, you do not pay the firefighters that stops the fire at your house right? So, some stuff needs to be paid by government and they should use that from the taxes.
Obviously speaking we are talking about many nations coming short and using that money very inefficiently, nations that could send 1 rocket to space for exploration every single day with the type of tax they get end up not even fixing the roads is the norm we are used to these days, this has nothing to do with your ideology or politician you like, EVERY one of them are like that in this day and age. So bitcoin or fiat, nothing will honestly change if you ask me, because it is the people at the top that is screwing us over, no matter which currency.
Yes, the state system is often unfair and inefficient at times, but it is still a working system and the fiat currency is a necessary part for its functioning. Also, do not forget that when we talk and try to compare space technology and banal road repairs, these are slightly different things with different potential in the future. Because scientific research for the creation and functioning of space technology can potentially give much more to the economy and create new jobs than specific road repairs in a specific area. Therefore, it is still not necessary to directly compare high-tech things with ordinary infrastructure. And by the way, reasonable printing of an additional amount of money is usually useful for the economic growth of the state. The most important thing is not to get too carried away with it  Wink

If City fail on signing Harry Kane, it seems like they can try to sign Lewandowski. But I don't think that he would like to leave Bayern Munich now.
As long as the transfer window isn't over yet, the chance for Lewandowski to leave Bayern is possible. How the chance of Lewandowski to leave? Depends on the offers made by Man City. But it only happens when Man City has no longer the opportunity to sign Kane. If they are still possible to sign Kane, I am sure City will focus on Kane only. Well, Lewandowski is one of the best CF nowadays, but he is not a young player anymore. He is 32 years old, while Kane is 28 years old, of course Kane is a better option if we consider the ages.
Lewandowski is hardly ready to leave Bayern right now in this transfer window. I don't think Bayern is ready for this either. According to the constantly circulating rumors, Lewandowski is ready to leave Bayern in the next few years, but the club is not ready to let the player go for less than 117 million euros. Also, it seems that there are no statements in the press from the player himself about the desire to change the team in the very near future, so even if Kane does not move to Manchester City in this transfer window, I do not think that Lewandowski will immediately move to City. Nevertheless, Bayern in its current state can afford not to think about the immediate benefits of the proposed urgent transfer.

You expect a team that hasn't gotten the link between themselves on the pitch to break this Chelsea team with one of the best defense presently, with Kante back, Hakim Ziyech,as well the arrival of Lukaku will cause more harm Arsenal defense.
The Gunner's are without Lacazzette, Aubameyang,Nketiah as well Thomas Partey all out for this game.
Although this is a London derby,we know how it gets hard for both teams when they meet themselves here.
It probably gonna be a win or draw for Chelsea.
I do not think that Chelsea would had a problem with Arsenal defenses even without Lukaku. People are making this game out to be a lot bigger than what it should be, it is not really that much of a big game anymore. We have to come to realization that Arsenal is not a big club like they used to be, they are a big club but they are not that big.
I mean look at the results they got in the previous seasons and you will realize that they are just a regular mid table team these days to be fair. Whereas Chelsea did became UCL champions last year, finalist of FA cup, and fourth in the league as well, so you could always feel like you are going to win against mid table teams when you are that good. I believe that this game will be easy, of course underdogs could always beat the favorites but that doesn't mean that we should be expecting that to happen or the game to be any good.
It's time to forget about the last season, because a new season has already arrived  Wink The English Premier League is a fairly competitive league, where even outsiders can fight and take away points from the leaders, let alone about average teams, as you put it. Therefore, I would not say with confidence about an easy match for Chelsea. Arteta has stayed at the club and he has something to prove for the club's management. Arsenal may have game problems over the long distance of the entire championship and the entire season, but you can really tune in to one match, especially when it's a derby. Although of course, in any case, in the current conditions, the advantage is on the side of Chelsea.
