We can give all the time of the world to Lionel Messi at PSG but I don't think that he will be as good as his times when he was at Barcelona. I think that we should accept this already. He can still increase his performance level of course but I don't think that he will be as good as Mbappe. PSG would like to see Messi performing near Mbappe actually to reach their goals easier especially in the Champions League. It is up to Messi to work hard and do better than this.
Messi's performance this season has been like that of an average player. Messi should not be expected to perform extraordinarily well now. However, in important matches, experienced players like Messi are very important in the squad. Although Mbappe is very talented, he is not experienced enough. However, although Messi has not performed well this season, he may be able to perform more consistently next season. |

Which stablecoin do you feel so comfortable using, without having any worry of depegging?
Most of my stablecoin is on BUSD. USDC is also good option but I prefer BUSD since I always trade on their exchange, and also they have many trading pairs for their own stablecoin so I don't have to worry converting it from one stablecoin to another. Binance is currently the most reputable exchange and they have a lot of funds to support their stablecoin. Depegging BUSD won't happen that easily as it is backed by a real entity unlike what happen in UST and LUNA. If you have such a good opinion about Binance exchange and BUSD, then you probably haven't read the news and have not heard about their problems with money laundering and drug purchases on the Darknet for cryptocurrencies from Binance. Of course, it's possible that nothing bad will happen, but holding funds in BUSD is the worst thing to do at the moment. Everything is still unclear and nothing can prove that Binance is guilty and the SEC was right. Currently, Binance is still the largest and most trusted centralized exchange, I think there is nothing bad in holding BUSD or BNB even using the exchange at this time. If the binance exchange is charged and destroyed it will be a hundred times worse than the crash caused by Luna so don't expect this it's just FUD out of hundreds of other FUDs |

There are also opportunities in a bear market as far as being an experience trader is concerned, a trader with a working trading strategy will always make profits even in a downtrend market This aspect is an interesting topic to discuss about, both the bull and bear in bitcoin price shouldn't be a thing of much concern for those that truly understand the benefits in both, when there's bull run in price, the long time investors make profits on their investment and during the bearish moves, it gives an opportunity for new investors to set in and also during this period some experience traders goes on short position like day trading and swing trading just to predict the move in speculation price on a dip run thereby making their profits as well, that's why i got pissed seing some users going on panic over the bearish move in bitcoin price when others finds it profitable opportunity. Not everyone sees opportunity in a bear market, it's not that simple mate. When the market goes down and you don't have time to cash out your portfolio could have dropped a lot and I bet no one can stay calm in that situation so panic and dumping are normal during bear season. Especially for those who are new to the market, they have not experienced the bear season so it will be very scary. |

Ibra said that he would end his career if he won at least one trophy with Milan this season, has he already changed his mind?  He was often injured this season and spent a lot of time on the bench, I think that this will only get worse. But if Ibra has a desire to play further, and the club's management is not opposed, then why not. Yes, that's right, as long as he can still make a very important contribution to AC Milan, it doesn't matter even though he is no longer young. And it looks like AC Milan also seems to be happy to open up that opportunity. Ibrahimovic made a positive impact on them after joining and also contributed to the Scudetto title they had not won for a long time. Ibrahimović staying in Milan is good news but I really wonder if he will be able to perform better in the next season. He is a good player and once was even a better player but age has taken its toll on him. So, I don't think he is someone on whom Milan will be able to depend. His staying is obviously good but they will need someone better and young, and that player will also have to be very good at scoring goals. |

This is the time to look around and ask: What else can be done to sustain BTC growth? How to increase interest in BTC? Everything possible is already being done on the stock exchange. Where are the other growth points? Growth points in increasing demand and interest. Experienced people and beginners love to play. Therefore, growth points can be in expanding people's awareness and offering new tools.
I think it's time to make websites with prices in different currencies: dollars, euros and crypto. It seems to me that this will contribute to the popularization of cryptocurrencies. Strengthening the popularity of cryptocurrencies would lead to an increase in their rate, to more lively trading, and as a result, to strengthening the status of cryptocurrencies.
Nah, unfortunately this is not a good approach, I know it's painful to see how slow the adoption is. But remember the market is barely 10 years old, so it doesn't need to be compare to stocks and other traditional markets that has existed for decades already. Let crypto grow in a natural course and process, just consider yourself lucky because you have been here as compare to others whose chances to have bitcoin is slim. In fact, the cryptocurrency is doing very well, even outperforming. The only obstacle that crypto is facing I think is the government, they are trying to control and don't want the cryptocurrency to grow because it threatens the power and interests of the government. But with the rapid development and superior technology, sooner or later they have to accept, maybe not completely but there will be some aspects. We here are said to be the pioneers of the bitcoin revolution, so try to seize the opportunity before it hits the whole world. |

Great story Op, but you should also be careful and not let frustration always lead you into revealing to everyone stranger you come across that you have bitcoins in your possession, for safety reasons so you don't get mugged.
I mean, because you have Bitcoin doesn't mean you're a millionaire or even wealthy, therefore everyone assumes you have cash on you, so telling them you have Bitcoin instead isn't exactly much more threat. You could argue less so, since cash can be physically stolen, but your Bitcoin should be locked up, to at least provide some other sort of resistance. While, you probably shouldn't go flaunting around how much you own, and how wealthy you're, simply saying you have Bitcoin isn't a problem at all. That's right. Not everyone who owns bitcoin is a millionaire. I don't see anything as worrisome as OP's case for letting others know he uses bitcoin, if OP hadn't said he was a bitcoin user he probably would have been in trouble that day because he wasn't either have cash. As long as you don't reveal how much bitcoin you hold and show off your assets, there should be no problem here. We are bitcoin users, so we should promote others in one way or another. |

Haters just looking for an excuse to ban Bitcoin mining, nothing else. For that reason, I don't think Bitcoin will replace by PoS technology. Because Bitcoin isn't controlled by a team that can move it easily. Miners would just move to reasonable places where mining Bitcoin is low cost and legal. They can't stop Bitcoin anyway, just trying to dump it.
I don't think this is about the haters and the excuse to ban mining This is really environmental concern but compared to all other environment destroyers I don't think that Bitcoin mining has the key impact. So, I don't think environment will be the show stopper for Bitcoin mining. However, I think that all Bitcoin users and miners shout be more aware of their impact om environment and try to find the way how to contribute to its protection. There is no denying that bitcoin mining releases a certain amount of carbon and contributes to environmental instability but look at what other industries are doing, mineral resource extraction, heavy industries contribute a lot to environmental pollution and cause serious environmental concerns. But I haven't heard any accusations about it, they seem to be trying to put the blame on bitcoin when it's only a small part of it. I agree with @The Cryptovator, those guys are just looking for an excuse to ban bitcoin. |

I only widthdraw and transact with bitcoin and other altcoins if i really need some money. If i earn as well, it is my chance to get some portion of it and eat or buy some things for myself.
Shoping ang paying with Bitcoin is much easier than paying cash especially when you didn't bring any cash with you.
Well, I prefer hodling the Bitcoin until the perceived far far future when you can buy anything with it. Such a future is very close actually. You can already buy cars, plane tickets, hotel rooms for renting and amazon, steam and other coupons. So could you survive with nothing but using Bitcoin as a payment system and still lead an enjoyable life? Definitely. Those payment options will only become more and more as Bitcoin is adopted. But currently? Better to hodl. I also only hold my bitcoins and only use bitcoin when really have no other choice but then I will find a way to buy them back when can, for me, I want to hold bitcoin as much as I can. We all invest in bitcoin with the sole goal of wanting it to help us have a better life in the future, so using it now looks like a waste. Holding will not create real value for bitcoin, I will only use bitcoin for spending when it hits the set target . |

Bitcoin proves to be the safest place, proof there is a big whale wallet hacked?
bitcoin is safe and there is no doubt, if there is a stolen wallet it is purely from the fault of the key holder's wallet it can be known by others, as long as the key is not known by others even though the wallet holder has died then the treasures in the wallet cannot be found. taken by someone else.
Bitcoin is only considered the safest in crypto, not the safest asset in the world, even gold is by no means 100% safe. But bitcoin is a good investment, looking at bitcoin price, no other asset class can be as profitable as bitcoin. It only took 12 years for bitcoin to go from $1 to tens of thousands of dollars, and it didn't stop there. Although it can be highly profitable but diversify your portfolio and not just focus on crypto, we will be able to minimize the risk. |

for now, I keep my bitcoins in 1 wallet, even the altcoins I have are like that. maybe it is quite risky, but when you are an investor, or a trader, then you need fast access to make transactions with the assets you have, especially if you are an investor.
what I'm talking about is an asset for investment and I develop it, while for savings, I keep it in a different place. however, it is not good to keep everything in one place. In addition, in the future, I plan to divide the assets I own in several places.
There is no problem storing bitcoins and altcoins in one wallet, as long as you protect it from threats. Using an extra wallet to split assets is a great idea because if we have an unexpected problem like a hacker attack or accidentally reveal our private key, we will minimize the loss. Using multiple wallets for storage also requires us to have multiple places to store our private keys. so how many wallets to use for storage depends on the usage of each individual. |

Serie A is indeed the right league for Pogba to continue his career and if he chooses to stay in the English Premier League by crossing to Liverpool, his fate will probably not be much different like he is still at Manchester United, now Juventus has opened the door for him to return and I think Pogba have to take this opportunity to be able to restore his playing performance, the tightness of the English league and also the style of play of Manchester which relies on speed are the reasons for Pogba performance to decline because he is the type of player who is slow and lazy in my opinion.
I think Serie A is right for Pogba at the moment. Pogba's last season was not good. He has performed very irregularly. There is a lot of competition in the Premier League. And the gameplay in the Premier League is very fast. Since Pogba is now somewhat off form. And so Serie A will be the right place for him to get back to form. But he must practice hard. Goals cannot be achieved without hard work. I don't know if he is going to be enough for Juventus at this moment but I think it is a good decision for Juventus to get him. I hope that Pogba will be able to play better with Juventus in the next season. His time in Manchester United was not good at all and he will be determined to do better with Juventus. You know he has played in Juventus before so it should not be very hard for him to at just with this League. |

I dont agree with that , Dortmund just got no luck the last season and i would say if Haaland was injured many times they would be a real opponent for Munich.
Also the transfers they did now already shows that they planning to get the title in coming season and compete with Bayern Munich seriously.
About Leipzig they also have done well the last years and they just was unlucky too the last season.
My favorites for the coming season are Bayern Munich , Dortmund , Leipzig and Leverkusen.
I know that there have been a little unlucky but they obviously cannot just depend on one player for doing all the work. It almost was light if Erling Haaland scores they win and unless he doesn't score they almost lose every time. I think Bayern Munich is obviously going to win the league title next season as well. Dortmund 2nd. Leipzig 3rd. And I really hope that Dortmund will be able to surprise me. |

It basically becomes a T-20 or ODI at that point which is why Test Cricket will continue dying in my opinion. Was never really a fan of tests to be honest which is why I won't miss them.
ODIs are also becoming less relevant and they might die at some point in the future too. Both these formats will probably be completely replaced by T-10 and T-20 formats which would be a great change overall.
I agree. Already test cricket is on it's deathbed and very soon ODI will be facing that fate. That said, I am horrified with the prospect of T10 replacing ODI cricket. IMO, T10 is not cricket. It is more like baseball. I am OK with the T20 format, but definitely not OK with T10. Why can't we ban this god forsaken format for the general wellbeing of cricket? If the ICC want matches to be reduced to 10 overs per side, then they should reduce the number of players from 11 to 6. Imagine this, 11 guys having a total of 10 overs. That is less than one over per player. Definitely not fair. I am also not a very big fan of test cricket but I really like to see the skill that is needed to play well in test cricket. In the t20 format, skill is hardly needed in my opinion. I want to see that one-day international cricket never dies, that is the most basic format of cricket. But it does look like what happened to test cricket is going to happen to ODI cricket also and there is nothing anyone will be able to do about it. But I really hope it doesn't get shorter than t20. Because then we will see 11 batsmen in a team or 11 bowlers. |

While losing shouldn't have an excuse, but have you taken a look at the team that played before placing judgement on the coach. His team choice isn't obviously our starting 11 and I'm pretty sure that was due to the players not been available either resting or taking some vacation from the juat concluded seasons. We didn't have our usual midfielders playing and a key players as Ndidi wasn't present and other vital players.
Now lets look at the formation 4,2,2,2. That isn't our best formation and probably the coach is just using this friendly to test his tactics and others players to identify the best new players to input into the team to strengthen it. The match ended 2:1 and the second Mexico goals was an own goal. Lets give the coach time and not been quick to judge.
Nigerians are naturally impatient. We love instant or immediate result. I don't blame them because our passion for football is boundless. But we must understand that a team takes alot of time, mistakes and sacrifice to build. There is nothing wrong in loosing a friendly match, what matters is what lessons did the players and technical crew learn from the game. It is better we loose all our friendly matches learning lessons that would help us win competitions and trophies. Nigerians must be patient and give the technical crew more time. They are just hungry for wins and there are a lot of people who do not like to lose. To be honest it obviously sucks to lose. But losing is the only way to learn quickly. I think they should stop thinking about what they are going to lose again and again and start thinking about what they have done wrong and work on that. I absolutely agree that they really have to be patient if they want to achieve better things. It is easy to play the blank game but it is hard to think about the mistakes. |

Real Madrid have a fallible defense, if you check in all the games they played against tough teams in the Champions league. One will notice that they conceded much goals starting from PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City. The Los Blancos side passed through all these challenges but what saved them was a good and sharp Frontlines. They have both brutal midfield and attack, they don't easily Missed chances of goal scoring. For instance in the final were they face Liverpool, who happens to have tough players too, the both teams are very much alike except for the defense that Liverpool beat them a little bit. How could I forget to mention one important in the team that played an essential role, the goal keeper, Thibaut Courtois who saved them from the hands of Liverpool.
Actually, you make a good point because even though Real Madrid does not have a good defense they have a good midfield and a very good attacking lineup. So, often times they are able to make up for the bad defense that they have. They have considered a good amount of goals in the Champions League but they have obviously scored more. It is also true that they don't often miss chances. And they also have a really good goalkeeper who absolutely came in clutch in the Champions League final, he must have been really annoying for Liverpool  . |

I think right now it will be better for Juventus if they bring in di Maria because that will give them some good attacking stability. A lot of people think that PSG is not keeping Di Maria because he is old and not playing well but that is certainly not the case. He was performing well in PSG but PSG for some reason wanted to make the squad even stronger. And they are doing that by not renewing the contract of di Maria, who has been performing well for PSG at least. And with di Maria, the Juventus team will also have some flexibility to work with.
I saw some news on my social media and indeed in that case it was explained that Di Maria would be moving from there and it is certain that Di Maria will leave at this time. But in this case there is a slight problem if Juventus really wants to attract this player because indirectly they are also now preparing to bring back Pogba and although it would be good to bring these two players at once but not good enough with their current finances Pogba is already getting a very big pay cut. I don't know about di Maria but I think he might also agree to take a pay cut. I think with these types of pay cuts, Juventus might just be able to afford the players. If I am not wrong I think pogba took almost half the pay cut. He will be getting paid half of what he was being paid in Manchester United. So, I want to sleep do have some hope that Juventus might be able to afford them. |

Di Maria is still in good form, both in the PSG team and in the Argentina national team but it is not worth it for Juventus to replace him with the departure of Dybala who is still at a younger age. maybe if Juve bring in Di Maria then at least he will only be able to contribute 2 or 3 seasons, the rest he has aged and can't contribute much anymore.
I think this season Juventus have not shown their seriousness in bringing in quality players to look forward to a better next season.
In this case it is arguably not quite commensurate but I still feel that Di Maria is not meant to replace Dybala's role there considering in this case I still believe that Di Maria's role will be kept to manage the midfield temporarily even if Dybala is now gone but in terms of their striker Dusan was still there even though it wasn't good enough to focus on just one player but they still wouldn't be okay with this either. other than that I still feel that the role of Zakaria and Bernardeschi will also be better if there is someone who manages the midfield well I think right now it will be better for Juventus if they bring in di Maria because that will give them some good attacking stability. A lot of people think that PSG is not keeping Di Maria because he is old and not playing well but that is certainly not the case. He was performing well in PSG but PSG for some reason wanted to make the squad even stronger. And they are doing that by not renewing the contract of di Maria, who has been performing well for PSG at least. And with di Maria, the Juventus team will also have some flexibility to work with. |

Liverpool were seriously favoured for winning the title and most people were confident about seeing them as the champions of this season too. In the end, Liverpool had an incomplete job to do against Real Madrid considering their previous finale against each other a few years ago. Salah burst into tears in the previous finale and he was aiming to have a revenge here. Liverpool played very decently and I was doubting Real Madrid to win the title too. Liverpool were just unlucky about finishing up even one of their goal chances.
Actually, I also thought that Liverpool was going to win this match because they looked to be a better team going into the finals. But the teams that Real Madrid beat on the way to the finals were just unbelievable. Liverpool expected it a lot more compared to Real Madrid. I think if Real Madrid lost the match they wouldn't have taken it so badly because their reaching the finals was a great thing. And because the Liverpool team is stronger compared to Real Madrid everyone expected Liverpool to win and probably that expectation added a little more pressure. |

The Dutch got a good start, but their middle order wasted that advantage. That said, their bowlers are fighting back as of now. After Logan van Beek got the wicket of Shamarh Brooks, Bas de Leede got two very important wickets. And then Nicholas Pooran got castled by Aryan Dutt. A couple of wickets more in the next few overs, and it is going to be very tight for the West Indies. And let's don't forget the fact that West Indies is not in a very comfortable position in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League. Right now, they are at the 10th position in points table.
In the first match, we saw the Dutch batsmen batting brilliantly, but they were defeated due to poor bowling. But despite their batsmen performing poorly in today's match, the bowlers are bowling well enough. West Indies lost their fifth wicket for just 99 runs. They scored 113 runs in 29 overs. Brandon King is still at the crease. If he can't extend his innings today, I think West Indies could lose today's match. I am enjoying the match now. Let's see if the Netherlands can pick up the first win of the series. Yes, they have done really well on the batting side but they are bowling left them vulnerable. The bowling side was just not venomous enough. And with this bowling lineup, I don't think they will be able to do very well against a team like West Indies, Many good players are missing now. Right now West Indies need 8 runs from 33 balls which is a piece of cake for them. |

2nd ODI between Netherlands and West Indies is scheduled for today. During the first match, Netherlands gave a good fight with the bat, but they could not keep up in the bowling department. Kingma and Klein were no match for experienced batsmen from West Indies, and only van Beek looked threatening. In the spin department also, Pieter Seelaar and Aryan Dutt failed to trouble the batsmen. They may go for Philippe Boissevain today. Fred Klaassen, if included in the playing XI has the ability to trouble the opposite batsmen. I am not sure why he wasn't included for the first match.
The problem is Netherlands are missing the service of some important players. Even though the batting performance that they have shown is good I believe the bowling was the weakest link. And only one bowler will never be able to fill up the gaps left by the others. West Indies is already a strong team compared to the Netherlands. Then Netherlands missing players is not helping them at all. I also believe that Fred Klaassen will add some stability to the team but I am not sure even that is going to be enough. |
