Newcastle getting a draw with west ham was a shocker to me, they were the team at third place solidly for so long and United came from nowhere and took it, that was a shocking result too.

Everyone is talking about how Everton won and yes that was the big result this week and that was a bad one, but that doesn't change the fact that we are talking about Newcastle getting a draw is a big shocker too. Some weeks are like this, you do not really know who will do how. In any case, Arsenal didn't lose their positions for losing this game, but Newcastle did, and that is why I believe that it's a much bigger situation and a lot better result in the long run.

I think one of the main points is that they believe they can somehow contribute to the conversation. I cannot really change anything about bitcoin itself, nor about ethereum or bnb or ada or avax or matic whatever. But if I can find something small, something that is just starting out or even haven't been released yet, then I could be in their chat and talking about what type of direction it should take, and maybe I won't be cared and they will do whatever they want to do but at least I would have some sort of understanding about it.

This is why I believe that we should be focusing a bit more towards the control part of it, and why people like to feel so important and why that matters for altcoin world.

Why do people act as if World War III is a possibility all the time. I get it, we had 2 world wars and people think that a third could happen, but there were defensive mechanisms put in place exactly to stop that from happening.

You think 50 years ago, or 100 years ago, Russia attacking Ukraine would have been seen as just "what a terrible tragedy that people are dying, oh well" and moved on? Right now, no European army or American army is there, sure they send weapons to help, but the army is not there, why? To prevent that war from starting. We are not going to see it become like that, just financial attacking between governments, that's it, and nothing bigger will ever happen.

Thrive is the hardest part. I mean if you have a low income then even if you live in a humble area then you can't really thrive there, or maybe your understanding of thrive is different than mine.

I personally believe that if you want to thrive, then you should be making more money than people around you, I used to make as much as x4 more than what people around me made, but these days the inflation caused it to be terrible right now and because of that people are getting a lot more money, even though their purchasing power is similar, or maybe even lower, which caused my x4 to be a lot less, barely x2 these days, not even that much. This is why it's a trouble.

When you are facing a team that had 11 games in a row winning streak, it's going to be tough to have any motivation left in the club. There could have been some referee situation going on, and I am not here to argue against that or for that, but the fact is simple; they weren't dominant enough and barely got a tie, and they are capable of playing much better than that.

If they played like how they played at the start of the season, then they would have won this game no matter what the decisions was, and that means they just lack motivation these days and it's understandable considering how Galatasaray got 11 in a row, 14 official games in a row, that could make any team lose motivation.

The fact that people think doing "nothing" is a gift shows how much we really care about the current situation of crypto trading. Normally, it's literally just buying bitcoin and that's it, your job is done, go do whatever you want. However, for some reason it became something hard for some people and I have no idea why that happened and how that happened.

I would personally say that the hardest thing about the current situation would be making it harder to follow what you normally do, because if you haven't bought any yet, then that's fine, and after you buy some, you should go back to doing whatever you were doing before buying, why would that be any hard to anyone.

I agree that it is not just about time measurement but more like information. If you truly understand what crypto is all about, you will never have to work in an office ever again. That doesn't mean you will make profit from trading right away, of course you won't have that on day 1, but if you understand the logic, you will realize that there is money to be made in crypto, and there is money to be invested.

So you can work from your home, doing something in the crypto world to earn your salary, keep some of it in crypto, and in 10-20 years you will be a wealthy person. I have been doing that, and I will keep doing that for a long time and I am sure I will do alright.

Scamming is not an easy job, I have to say it requires you to be very good at your job if you want to make money. I could definitely create the most high tech thing with the biggest buzzwords, like some AI coin based on NFT metaverse game for example, look how many hyped things is in there and yet you know what would happen if I do that?

I would not make a dime because I wouldn't be able to do a proper marketing for it. On the other hand these scammers build something with hyped utility, and they manage to steal as much as millions from people and that's beyond my understanding and ability. So scamming is not as easy as you think, it's quite a tough thing to do.

Honestly? It's the token itself, if it is a regular token with nothing in it, then I won't invest into it at all. There are too many projects with just regular token with absolutely no flavour, they add the flavour in later on with what you can do with it, give it a usecase, like "oh you can buy things from our website to make even more tokens" type of thing. That's not going to be ok with me, I won't invest into anything like that.

If someone wants my money, they need to innovate and improve the token world and they need to add something new to it, which would mean that they know what they are doing, no guarantee it will be profitable, but at least it's a way to eliminate %99 of the tokens.

So, if I  got this right, that means we need 100 million dollars per bitcoin for this to happen? If that's the correct calculation then we d o not really need to worry about this right now. I understand that it is a thought experiment, but that doesn't mean that we should be calculating right now or forced to find a solution to it. Doesn't mean that it won't happen, but it is clear that we are talking about a whole different world than we live in right now when that happens.

It means that by that time we will have much more clear solutions to it because the world would have more options available at that point. I believe that this is an issue that will come with its solution in due time.

This is definitely a way that goes on to create a very bad life. My parents were like this, and they screwed up really bad in the end. If you are taking a loan, then make sure that you can pay it back, if you have to just get a big bag of rice and just eat that until you have enough money to pay.

I literally mean living as cheap as possible, just rice, ramen, noodle, water, and barely minimum of anything else, no netflix, no disney plus, nothing, just spend as little as possible, do not even drink coffee. I did this, I had debt for four months, and I lived as cheaply as possible and spent nearly nothing, and paid a huge debt back, which should have taken me 3 years in normal situations, took me 4 months and I am now debtless again.

Doesn't matter if it is the gold one, it still shows the bitcoin name there and that's a good marketing for us. However, something major such as crypto.com being on the world cup or being on formula 1, is much bigger of course because it reaches to bigger amount of people.

The adoption happens when you have people that matter start talking about it, politicians and celebrities and influencers all talking about it spreads it even further. That happens more commonly during the bull period and looking at how we are increasing in price right now, if we go up a bit more, like to over 30k levels, then we are going to start seeing those things in the long run for sure.

I think surge regarding the price of bitcoin is something that is not "just" based on world economy. I mean sure it is impacted, there is no denying that and when the economy is terrible the price goes up because if fiat is terrible then it should be good for bitcoin.

But at the same time, we should not put the price of bitcoin depending just on that, there are many other things that it gets affected by, and it could be one of those that makes it. Like some great news of some big nation making it legal tender could make the price go up suddenly, even when economy hasn't changed, as you can see the world economy is the same, but that good news could make it higher. That type of things matter.

I am not entirely sure about the lonely part considering I am not lonely. But, I can guarantee you that not being lonely doesn't mean you stay away from gambling. I have met many people who are married and still addicted to gambling, it is not something that could get you stay away from it, it is something that would get you some help, there will be someone in your life trying to help you get away from it.

However, it is not that easy, it requires a strong will to realize the problem and stay away from it. If you are both addicted and gambling? In that case there is very little hope that you would stop, there are people who lost all they own to gambling that way.

This is what I am doing basically and I am doing it for even further down the line. I want my future child to have the option to do whatever they want in life. Doesn't mean that they should do something illegal, lol. But more like, most people who do not go into arts, do not go in because they want to make sure they can make money first. As someone who is in art world, I can tell you that it is not that difficult to make money, you can do whatever you want and make money as long as you look where the money is.

It won't be exactly what you want, but it will be the job you want. I want to make sure my kid knows this, and after they graduate college or whatever they go to, I want to give them a good small income that would guarantee a life of ease, and that will make sure they won't have to work for money. If they just want to sit at home and watch movies and drink beer all day, they can do that too, that's still a life worth living I believe, but if they ever want to do something, they won't have to worry about income.

Depends on the idea behind it. I mean if you really think that it will drop, then it is not FUD but saying the facts you think will happen. Of course nobody really knows what is going to happen, but that is the thing we are doing right now and I think it will definitely work in the end. What I want to see however is the fact that we are not going to end up with that much drops, but we will do fine, which means all these FUDs do not matter to me and just plain wrong.

If I can think like that, then why not others? That means it can't be unethical because if you see FUD and you believe them, that is on you and not the person who does the FUD, your responsibility is to think for yourself.

I think it is mainly because people hype about things for a while, and whatever that is, it doesn't matter what we are talking about, people just get hyped about things and when it happens they just end up with nothing at all eventually and lose that hype and they just start to sell it and get out and find the next hype.

In this situation that thing is NFT and I believe that people were too much involved in it, and it was pretty social media heavy and people talked about it and shared reels of them, and did tiktoks and so forth. It was so much hyped that even south park had 2 part movie where they mocked it. Now it is not as hyped and it's pretty much boring.

I agree that Palace will be a tough game for United, but they have seen how they played and how they defended so it should be easier than the last game at least. Not saying it will be "easy" game, I just meant easier than the other day when they faced each other. That's going to be something quite important and a big difference because at the end of the day it's United, and they are a good team and they should be able to play well enough to win.

This is going to be a tough spot to be in and I know that many people are expecting something bigger from them but that doesn't mean that it is going to happen, that would be something good if they win, but if they fail to do it, it's fine.

I would guess that if PSG wasn't this good, the league would not be even at fifth position right now. Imagine it, if PSG was as good as Lyon or Lille or something like that, and every other team is the same exact level, would this league be any good? I would say they would be pretty lower level, they would be at the levels of Portugal or Dutch leagues basically, not talked about with the big leagues.

Now, thanks to PSG they have a team that could potentially win the UCL, not saying they will, but that's what they are aiming at at least. This is why it's not that much fun to watch the league when PSG wins nor when they lose, it's both quite boring to see in the end.

I mean magic is an under 40% win rate team, I am not saying that they are not going to win any games, it is obvious that they won nearly 40% of their games so it's definitely possible for them to win and I am not arguing against that.

But the fact is that we are talking about a team that is third from bottom in the eastern conference, we are not talking about a good team here and them losing is common too. Sure, you could give it a go and bet on them and you will win roughly around 40% of those bets so if you arrange it accordingly maybe you will get a profit, I know I do that with Lakers, but at the end of the day they are not "secretly good" or something like that, if they were, they wouldn't be at the bottom.
