Barcelona have increased the point gap with Real Madrid to 3 by this important win over Atletico Madrid today. This should be enough for Barcelona to take a deep breath. Real Madrid were really bad against Villarreal and they are responsible for this point gap to happen. Barcelona are still in a little better condition as for being determined for the league title for now.

Next week the gap might be even bigger depending on what Real Madrid do against Athletic Bilbao in an away game. Barcelona have a home game against Getafe which is easy peasy for them on paper.

Barcelona succeed to win the match and get 3 points to stay leading the La Liga standings. However, it is too early thinking Barcelona can take deep breath. 3 point gaps isn't safe gaps, Real Madrid can overtake Barcelona in 1-2 match only.

By the way, in theory, Barcelona seem to win easily against Getafe in the next match. But it is a football match, stronger team may lose points against a smaller team. If Barcelona underestimates Getafe, they may lose points at home.

One rank above the Legendary is my wish!

I believe it will be a good thing to do for the members who contributed a lot to the forum and also it will encourage the legendary to post more to reach that super recognition rank.

Is it really necessary, mate?

I think it is not needed since we are able to know the members who contributed a lot from their merit numbers. Also, the members who have a certain achievement, have a special badge.

For example:

- taufik123 has a special badge as the winner of the art contest in 2019.
- fillippone has a special badge as the winner of Pizza day in 2022.

A seed phrase isn't something easy to memorize and we probably forget it in the long term. The best way is to secure it, by writing the seed phrase on a piece of paper, steel plate, or the like. Choose the medium that we think to last a long time!

Put the paper, steel plate, or other media somewhere that we assume it will be the most secure place. But don't put it on a place that we may forget it and it is better to let the closest person knows it. We don't know how long we live! If something happens to us, we need someone to find the seed phrase to access our Bitcoin assets.

Well, we are here for one certain reason and that is to gain money. But since trading is also uncertain, then expect that it won’t always be profitable. And one big mistake in trading will eventually make you lose everything. So always be cautious when trading, even in investing, as they can make you instant wealthy, and they can also end up making you the poorest of them all.
Sure, making money is always the main reason to trade crypto coins. There is nothing wrong if a trader wants to make money from trading. But since no guarantee to always get profits, we must use safe money in trading. Most people agree that we must use the money that we can afford to lose. It is the best way to avoid huge losses. However, you won't lose everything as long as you trade in the spot market. You only end up with a big decrease of your funds if you trade carelessly. But if you trade in the future market, it is simply the way to lose everything.


1865  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 06, 2023, 08:26:37 PM
De Jong's position is not for a defensive midfielder because he is an attacking type and is not suitable for use in a central midfield because he is an attacking midfielder.
Busquet is too old and he has no intention of being at Barcelona by not signing a contract extension at this time and indeed looking for new players is a natural thing although it is possible to find a new candidate for captain as well for Barcelona.
I agree that De Jong isn't a defensive midfielder, he isn't suitable to put in that position. He is better to play as a central midfielder or an attacking midfielder, he will play more effectively in this position. I think Barcelona needs to sign a new defensive midfielder if they want to have someone to be the successor of Busquet. Sandro Tonali, Declan Rice, Rúben Neves, Bruno Guimarães, and Wilfred Ndidi can be some candidates to be a new defensive midfielder in Barcelona. IMO, these players are the most promising players in that position. They are young, talented (skillful), and have enough experience to play in top football competitions.

Happy based on performance not about losing the match to Manchester City. That's what I meant.
How do you know Chelsea fans are happy because of Chelsea players' performance?
TBH, I rarely heard that fans are happy because of that reason. Only a few fans who can understand about the increase of performance.
Most fans are happy because of the team won the match and got 3 points.

If Chelsea had been performing like this, they won't have lost or drawn some of their matches the way they did.
No guarantee about this. Sometimes good performance can't result in getting 3 points. Without goals, a team cannot win full points.

Sincerely what Chelsea needs badly is a striker that can help do the scoring.
Chelsea has Aubameyang. He is a goal machine.
You must know how Aubameyang performed in Barcelona previously. He still has the ability to be a sharp striker. But surely he needs more opportunities to play, he can't score if he mostly spend the time at the bench.

Yes, 2024 is the year of another bitcoin halving but that doesn't guarantee that the odds will be on our favor as we don't know yet when will this bear situation will stop. Halving seriously doesn't mean that bear market will be officially over once the year 2024 will commence and bull season will start, as per speculations, we will likely feel the market's relativity on our side by the end of that same year. Of course, still a speculation, but I do agree, let's load up our bags while the market is still selling at a discounted price.
Why do you agree to load up bags if you are not sure when this bearish season to be over?
BTC halving in 2024 may not guarantee to stop the bearish season. But if you learned the previous BTC halvings, you should know that BTC halvings always have a big role to trigger a new bullrun season. So, you can't blame the people who believe BTC halving in 2024 to stop the bearish season and lead to a new bullrun season. Also, if we consider the 4 years cycle of bearish-bullish, 2024-2025 should be the time for bullish season. But of course, this is only based on the theory and historical analysis, it is not the only factor to determine bearish-bullish.

I am not sure if people will prefer to use Uniswap or PancakeSwap in the future. I believe people won't stop to use top CEXs like Binance, Kucoin, Coinbase, or Kraken because they have good features for trading and have big volumes as well. But people will be more careful to manage their tokens, they probably won't keep their coins on CEXs for a long time anymore. They are aware that keeping coins on CEXs is high risk, CEXs can have a problem at any time. They can't secure their coins because CEXs that have a full control to the coins.

Huge win for Inter this makes the league a little more intresting. But really a sad result for Napoli their huge streak just ended and when a first loss or something like this happens things can go really bad for them. They need to bounce back in the next game fast
For me, it is not a huge win, it is an important win. Inter only won with 1 goal, Napoli actually dominated the match, unfortunately Napoli failed to score. By winning the match, Inter Milan has a chance to overtake AC Milan in 2nd place. Their point gap is only 3 points now, it is not a big gap anymore. Inter Milan also broke Napoli's unbeaten record. This can boost the morale of Inter Milan players, they will be more motivated to win in the next matches.

~~Napoli's next match will play against Sampdoria and can make up for yesterday's defeat
Sure. They simply will win the next match against Sampdoria.
Sampdoria is in the relegation zone, they performed badly this season. It will be hard for Sampdoria to steal points from Napoli, Napoli has a much better squad quality.

Even though Chelsea lost against Manchester City, its fans will be happy with the way the team played. In comparison to their previous games, Chelsea performed far better. Chelsea fought hard against Manchester City, but their luck ran out when it came to scoring.
It is funny if Chelsea fans are happy. Today, Chelsea was defeated by Man City. While in the previous match, they got a draw. Chelsea got 0 points today, but they got 1 point previously. The previous match is still better than today's match, right? Well, I believe Chelsea fans don't care about how Chelsea players played, the focus is on the points. With getting 0 points, Chelsea is in 10th place now. It is a shame, how can a big team like Chelsea stay in 10th place in EPL standings? Ideally, Chelsea should be in the top 5.

1871  Economy / Speculation / Re: I think that we will see 13500 Dollars In 2022 on: January 05, 2023, 10:22:49 PM
Market is truly that unpredictable and there's no way that we can really tell whether the price would be going back below on 13k price point or would be this current price is the bottom price.
It is really hard to make out such decisions because price is volatile and if you dont have that risk taking factor then it would really be making hard decisions.
We are already in 2023, $13500 was OP prediction for the bottom of BTC in 2022. There is no way that the prediction to come true since it is no longer 2022.  Grin

Regarding the possibility of BTC price to drop below $13k, IMO it is unlikely to happen. Most people predict that the bullrun to happen in 2024-2025, 2023 should be the time for BTC price to increase gradually. Although there are still some negative issues in 2023 (including the recession), I personally believe that BTC price to start increase constantly. In early 2023 BTC may struggle hard to pass $20k, but after several months it seems to increase constantly above $20k.

I agree that crypto market is always unpredictable. However, we can analyze it based on its history and the current market situation.

Saya berasumsi bahwa jika distribusi merit dapat kita tingkatkan, maka SFI ini mungkin akan lebih hidup dan membuat lebih banyak poster memiliki minat yang tinggi untuk memposting di SFI.
Benar. Hanya saja distribusi merit terkendala beberapa hal, termasuk sMerit. Saya pribadi selalu mentok di sMerit (sMerit habis).  Grin

Saya tidak mempermasalahkan apa tujuan mereka memposting di SFI, dan selama mereka memperdulikan kualitas postingannya maka saya pikir mereka harus mendapatkan hasil yang sepadan.
Setuju. Setiap member punya tujuannya masing-masing, tidak ada masalah dengan hal tersebut. Selama post yang dibuat tidak menyalahi aturan dan punya kualitas yang baik, maka tidak ada yang perlu dipermasalahkan.

Saya akhir-akhir ini merasa iri dengan pertumbuhan pengguna Nigeria di forum baik di global maupun di lokal boardnya, maksud saya mereka tidak merasa enggan mendukung dengan distribusi merit kepada penggunanya agar mereka lebih cepat rank up. Jadi tidak heran jika banyak pengguna Nigeria saat ini berada di beberapa campaign yang bagus.
Tidak perlu iri, cukup diadopsi saja hal-hal apa yang kiranya positif untuk diterapkan di board SFI juga.
Terkait board SFI, saya kira sudah cukup baik. Yang paling mudah dilihat adalah ketika ada permintaan review post di thread "Bantuan untuk menaikkan Rank" dan ketika ada thread baru, cukup banyak member Indonesia yang mau mengapresiasi dengan merit. Menurut saya hal ini cukup positif, ini menunjukkan member SFI cukup peduli.

Tapi saya yakin SFI juga tidak ada kurangnya, tapi mungkin perlu peningkatan dan perubahan pola pikir saja agar percepatan pertumbuhan pengguna tidak terhambat oleh standar yang tinggi. Saya senang dengan statistik lokal board SFI saat ini, tapi akan lebih menyenangkan jika kita benar-benar bisa meningkatkannya lagi.
Pola pikir terkait apa, Om? Pemberian merit?
BTW, standar yang mana yang dimaksud?
Kalau yang dimaksud standar kualitas post, saya kira tidak bisa digeneralisasi. Setiap member punya standar masing-masing dan punya preferensi sendiri dalam memberikan meritnya. Beberapa member mungkin menilai post berkualitas secara komprehensif tapi ada juga yang hanya berpatokan pada isi/konten/point dari postnya saja. Standar post memang cenderung subjektif, Om.

1873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 04, 2023, 11:59:07 PM
It's unfortunate, but if you look at the statistics for their meeting, you can guess that Napoli rarely wins, and Napoli's defeat makes the competition in Serie A even more competitive because it reduces Napoli's point advantage, which was previously 8, now only 5, moreover, their rival teams get wins, so it's increasingly it's interesting to look forward to every match in future, only Lazio lose in week-16 match from Lecce even though a win will make Lazio's points the same as Inter and only one difference with Juventus in third place.
Napoli must start to be careful because it's not even half of the competition. If they don't recover from today's defeat then they will be chased by Milan or Juventus too.
The stats only showed the strength of Napoli and Inter Milan in the previous seasons. We don't talk about how Napoli and Inter Milan previously but we focus on their strength during this season. Since this season started, it is clear that Napoli is much stronger and more solid in playing. They actually can show it today, but unfortunately they can't score. Inter Milan didn't perform as expected during this season but they seem to return to their good shape lately. Today, Inter Milan has the advantage to play at home, they have a bigger motivation to get 3 points. While Napoli seems not to prepare very well for this match, they lose focus and failed to get points. In addition, Napoli may think they are safe enough in 1st place because they have 5 point gaps with 2nd place.

By the way, I agree that Napoli must be more careful. They can't miss points more, it is still matchday 16, so there are still many matches left. If they lose focus again and miss another 3 points, AC Milan can overtake them in the top position.


1874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Factors that contribute to form addictive gambling. on: January 04, 2023, 11:49:11 PM
I think people who are here in the forum will not become this addicted because we are fully oriented here about addiction and how to deal with it.
No guarantee about it, mate.
Even if you always read about some tips to prevent addiction every day, you still have a chance to be addicted if you never evaluated your gambling habit. Some people are unaware that they are addicted to gambling because they make it as a daily activity (habit). It may not cause bad impacts if you can limit your funds daily (small money), but it will be a big problem if you gamble daily without a budget limit. It probably ends up with losing everything.

There are too many factors of gambling addiction but the root source is the money that they will get from the gambling casino, if you will keep chasing it, it could probably become an addiction.
Yes, there are many factors.
Chasing winning or chasing money, never leads to a good result.
We all understand that wins can't be pursued in gambling, more attempts never guarantee a bigger chance to win (get money).

Why Bitcointalk is the best forum
I'm not sure if bitcointalk is the best forum. I only know bitcointalk is the best crypto forum.
When you stated the "best forum", it covered all types of online forums. But when it is specified to be the "best crypto forum", it relates to crypto only.
IMO, you need to make it more specific.

Bitcointalk has been active for over a decade and is still getting better everyday ,Though it has some hard times like the time it was hacked and others but still yet it continues to improve. Bitcointalk has been able to stay this long and improving because of contributions from members of the Forum starting with the founder Satoshi Nakamoto and other awesome members.
Yep. Satoshi Nakamoto created this forum, but I think the most reason why this forum can survive and continue improving is the loyalty and dedication of the forum staff (admins, moderators). Also, there are some great members who support the improvement of this forum both giving suggestions and creating software, data, or other things.

So my advice for we Newbies is start thinking of a way of improving this forum first before earning.
The first thing to do by newbies is to obey the forum rules/regulations. It is one of the most important things to do. Many newbies forget this and only focus on improving post quality or earning money from bounties/campaigns.

Always read the pinned posts before posting on any board!!

1876  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Rank positions on CMC changes every bull market? on: January 04, 2023, 11:13:03 PM
Easily and probably will.  There is no way the top 20 stays the same.  There will be a new fad and new coins get mega pumped just like in every other cycle.  One thing is almost certain though, bitcoin will end up in first just like it always has.  That's why altcoins aren't meant for bag holding.
Definitely. It always changes, but not for Bitcoin.
We call Bitcoin the king of crypto coins, the king should be in the 1st place.  Cheesy

I think only coins that can capitalize on this momentum well are will shift the positions of other coins but we can't predict which coins will be out of top 20 in the next bull market but if the coins you mention can't capitalize on the bull market momentum well then there is a chance they will drop out of the ranking.
We can't predict which coins to drop out and which coins to rise up to the top 20, but we can analyze it based on the current development of the coins. Those coins which have bad issues and lose the interest from investors, may drop out from top 20 in the next bullrun season. And which coins that seem to be hyped in the next year, may rise up to the top 20 coins.

We don't know until when Ronaldo is playing before his retirement. He is going to be like one of the longest playing footballers together with Ibrahimovic I guess. If he doesn't retire until the age of 40 then maybe we might see him returning to Europe for playing for a short time period. Especially to play in the Champions League, he would be more convinced. But these are all just assumptions of course. For example some people have said that he would join Sporting but it hasn't happened.
He may continue to play although he is already 40 years old, but I don't think he will play until 45.
No, I doubt he will return to Europe. I guess Ronaldo will go back to his country after his contract expires in Al Nassr. Or he will retire and start to his new career as a coach.

By the way I have heard about a statement from Al-Nassr side like they wanted to sign Messi first. But after failing in doing so they went for convincing Ronaldo to sign for themselves. I don't know if this would make Ronaldo angry but I guess he would just focus on his game as of now.
Why does this matter make Ronaldo angry?
It is not big deal and It doesn't mean Messi is better than Ronaldo.
Ronaldo is a professional player, it won't bother Ronaldo's focus on his career in Al Nassr.

Finally, in that match, Real Madrid managed to win and beat Cacereno in the Copa del Rey league. At least Cacereno had tried hard to survive, but the result was that they still lost.
Real Madrid won the match, but they only made 1 goal.
I'm surprised to see Real Madrid got difficulty making a goal. Real Madrid squad quality is much better than Cacereno, ideally they should score many goals in this match. I appreciate that Cacereno made more shot attempts, it simply showed us that they struggle well during this match. They were just unlucky that no attempts turned out to be a goal.

Villareal may not be able to beat Real Madrid easily because this club is very strong and not easy to beat.
Real Madrid will play all out, they need 3 points to overtake Barcelona. There is no way that Real Madrid to lose the match, they must try their best to turn back to 1st place. Moreover, all Real Madrid players are ready for the match, no players are injured currently. So, considering the squad quality and their motivation, I am also sure that Real Madrid defeat Villareal in the next match.

OP, do you ask this suggestion for your local board or for global board?

If it is for your local board, I think it is no need for a specific board since you can discuss it on your main board. The main board can cover general issues/matters which aren't related to the child boards. For local boards, I think we don't need too many child boards, it is unnecessary. We have limited members on local boards. We can discuss it in global boards which are related to the topics, we already have some child boards about games in the marketplace board.

1880  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are your thoughts on revenge trading? on: January 03, 2023, 11:08:36 PM
~ what is your take on revenge trading?
IMO, fundamentally, there is no term for "revenge trading". You can't chase your losses with revenge trading, it only leads you to more losses. If you got losses, you need to evaluate your trading strategies. You also need to improve your knowledge and skills. It is actually what you need when you got losses continuously. You won't make your trading better if you never evaluate it, dude.  Wink

~ Do you think people intentionally go into revenge trading or is is just emotional?
Yes. It's simply the wrong way of expressing emotion. People who do revenge trading probably make riskier for their funds. I don't see a better opportunity to recover their losses, it even leads to more and more losses.

~ what will you advise someone making series of losses ?
I've explained above:
- Evaluate trading strategies
- Improve knowledge and skills
- Strengthen your analysis of the market situation
