He may not be that great but he is not the type of player that can turn a team into a winning team. They wanted to get De Jong and couldn't afford him, now they are looking at Casemiro, but they should have gotten a look at defenders instead, they think all their problems are about midfield and that’s a big mistake, looking at the 4 goals in 35 minutes, that wasn't about the midfield at all, that was about defence.
In the end, this transfer could happen or may fail and it would not change anything for United, whatever they can do with him, they can do without him and the result will be the same not because he is bad, but United is so bad that he can't change a thing.
I think they have got defenders already but they are not pairing up the right pair for the match. Ideal pair in my opinion would be Varane and Martinez that could solve lot of problems for United. Secondly , I think desperately needed a defensive midfielder who can maintain good possession of the ball in mid and maintain the ball distribution well and I think Casemiro is the right piece for them right now. It's a good signing focused on minimising the defensive problems they are facing right now. Now only thing they need to work on is attack which is kinda not much effective and they are working on Antony right now.

if they want to play Casemiro as a defensive midfielder, is it the right decision with this lineup? Casemiro's move to Manchester United is already a controversial decision on its own, playing him as the defensive midfielder is probably more likely to cause controversy since he is an attacking player by nature, i am not sure but i think Real Madrid has used him as a defensive midfielder but i think he will be better as an attacking one, and obviously, he’s not the one to solve all the problems of Manchester United, but i expect more supply from the midfield after Casemiro joins them
1902  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to take profits? on: August 20, 2022, 03:26:42 PM
I am mostly a hodler no matter the market going down or up. But sometimes I get the advice to take some profits.

Example: my investment of 300 euro becomes 500 euro. Is it better to take out my initial investment or only take the profit ? And reinvest that profit ?

How do you guys do this ?

I just feel like i'm missing potential profits by not selling and seeing my potential profits go up and down.
I think the situation depends. If you are a long term hodler then a 200 euro profit will look small to you so you wouldn't touch it but you need to aim for a better return. Those downs that you saw are only temporary so that shouldn't scare you but in order to prevent it, you can stay offline for a while and only come back after a long time.

If you are short or mid term investor then I think it's not bad to take that 200 euro or you can also take out your 300 euro starting capital so that you will not risk anything and in case the outcome is a loss, you won't feel bad but if the outcome is positive like the 200 euro became 500 again, you can repeat the same process, by taking out the 300 euro profit.


also, it depends on the coin you are holding, is it a potential coin or just a shit coin, with the shit token, keeping it offline and holding it for a long time is a bad idea, it is only suitable if you are holding potential coins
200euro profit from 300euro capital is not small, you are making a profit close to x2, which is a big profit
you should take half profit because bear market is hard to profit, you can reinvest when that coin corrects
1903  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best wallet for altcoins ? on: August 20, 2022, 03:16:43 PM
in the long run, there is no better option than a hardware wallet
and if you want to use a software wallet, there are metamask, trust, exodus ... you can experience each wallet yourself to choose the most suitable product for yourself
but storing assets on software wallets carries many risks as you know, so you should divide your assets and put them in different wallets to avoid unnecessary risks
1904  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ATH for ETH on: August 20, 2022, 03:05:56 PM
it could only gets achieved once the current economy crisis settled and the trend is turning around, otherwise we could hardly the ATH for ETH ever achieved again.
Even the other alts in general are all the same, their fates in achieving the ATH could only comes once the current trend of btc settled.
so in the event of ETH merges, don't think it will reach ATH that easily.

It is true that the increase in the price of Ethereum depends on how Bitcoin moves, because after all Ethereum like other altcoins its movement is
affected by the movement of Bitcoin. This means for Ethereum to return to the ATH price, it will have to wait for the Bitcoin price to recover.
The problem is Bitcoin is still moving steadily below the current $25k price, so we do have to be patient to wait for Ethereum to return to the ATH price.
So just take advantage of the current situation to collect Ethereum, moreover the price of Ethereum is still down 59% from the ATH price, meaning
that the price of Ethereum is still at a low price right now and don't regret that we missed buying Ethereum at a low price. Even if a bull market comes
there is a possibility for Ethereum to reach new ATH, in conclusion, long-term investments in Ethereum are always profitable.

in addition to relying on bitcoin movements, ethereum only has one month before the merge, which is not enough time for ethereum to reach new ath
the highest ath eth previously achieved was around $4.5k, which means ethereum will be x2.5 times the current price. that's a very difficult thing to do in a bear market
1905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 19, 2022, 07:04:20 PM
It is really surprising to see a team like Manchester United at the bottom of the points table. We know that Manchester United have released Cristiano Ronaldo and Gabbani a few days ago but they are not getting the results they expected from these two stars. However, Manchester City have maintained their reputation but are currently at the top of the points table with Arsenal in second place. But still only from the next match if Manchester United can show their proper game on the field maybe they can climb up the points table.
They are in fomo on transfer market again.

Buying Casemiro with high cost and giving him a third highest salary in the club. They are betting that Casemiro will fix holes in their midfield and accept that likely they will not be able to sell the player in future. He is 30s and at then end of contract, he will be in his 34. No club will buy him in future at high cost.

Varrane joined with lost of hope in the past season but now we can see he can not improve Manchester United defense too much. Now it is another bet with Casemiro. That is a stupid transfer if we compare cost for Casemiro and cost to get Tchouameni. Not big difference and Real Madrid will have 10 years to use Tchouameni. Very long plan with Tchouameni, while Manchester United can only use Casemiro in a few seasons.

In addition, he will have to move to a different league. Will he be able to adapt to Premier League?

Manchester United is trying to make some changes in hopes of resolving problems in the team, i think the problem or perhaps the fault is that they rely on individual players way too much to solve their problems, there is obviously no way that one player will be able to resolve this issue, it is going to take a team effort to fix these problems, they have brought in multiple players in hopes of fixing problems that have not been fixed and they spent a lot of money but in the end, they are just back to where they started, and I highly doubt that with Casemiro on the team it is going to be any different
1906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 19, 2022, 06:44:28 PM
We'll have 1 interesting match in week 2 of Serie A, it will be Atalanta Vs AC Milan match. These two teams are equally strong teams in Serie A, However, in their last few matches, Atalanta have always lost to AC Milan. What do you think about this match, can Atalanta change their bad result when they meet AC Milan?
Ahead of the match against Atalanta, Stefano Pioli must focus on the defense sector, he must immediately close the gap in the defense. After Alessio Romagnoli officially joined Lazio on a free transfer, until now there has been no suitable replacement to fill the position left by Romagnoli.
The match between Atalanta Vs AC Milan is very interesting to watch, Pioli will again test the appearance of Divock Origi, Pierre Kalulu, and Charles De Ketelaere. These three players performed well in the first game, they will be AC Milan new strength this season, they can surprise Atalanta as they did with Udinese.
Atalanta vs Milan looks like it will be a pretty interesting match. I think both will get the same chance.
as you said, Milan has 3 players who are the new strength this season. appear convincing in the first match against Udinese will certainly be a good capital to hit Atalanta. maybe it will be a bit more difficult but we have to try to see how the chances of Milan will appear more consistent this season.

it is going to be very important for Milan to win these matches if they wish to keep the title, the way to successfully defend the title for Milan is by winning both competitive matches as well as finding success in the easier matches, it seems to me that the team has a very reasonable chance of defending the title if Millan can start well

as far as i am concerned, i don't see Atalanta as a team that will be able to give them a hard time in terms of the title race,
however, i do believe that they are a capable team that is capable of giving them difficulties in matches
1907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: August 19, 2022, 06:06:05 PM
I also agree with you in this matter because I don’t think this is going to be a draw. Mönchengladbach is a far better team compared to Hertha Berlin. I believe this is going to be a win for Mönchengladbach. I don’t expect Hertha Berlin to cause them too much resistance. It should be an easy prediction for anyone.
In the match between Leverkusen vs Hoffenheim, I expect a win for Leverkusen. Leverkusen started this season very badly and they lost the first two matches. So I expect them to make a comeback in this match.
At the moment every game nearly is not an easy prediction i guess .
But yeah Gladbach is looking better as Hertha Berlin and they playing at home.
For the Leverkusen game against Hoffenheim there is the chance that Leverkuse will lose as they are on a big pressure.
Dont know if that will helps them or that will break there neck.
If you talk about pressure then it will not be separated from a mental point of view. And they should be able to handle that pressure at Leverkusen's level. They are one of the teams that are considered in the Bundesliga competition, that means they are labeled a big club here. With the confidence they have the pressure will continue to grow, they should have learned from previous years.
I trust them to be able to win this match with all the possibilities.

@Lafu, i agree that this is the start of the season and almost every match is going to be unpredictable for a while now, but i still believe that Mönchengladbach is going to be the stronger team coming into this match

Jody.Drummer, with every game, there will be pressure, however, there is not much on the line in these matches at the start of the season, so they should be able to play free of any pressure
naturally, there will be many variables, especially when this is the beginning of the season, so this is probably going to be a little more unpredictable

1909  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin a safe haven??? on: August 19, 2022, 03:52:23 AM
bitcoin is an investment that generates good returns, but whether it is a safe haven or not depends on how investors use it
as in this year's inflation, we can see bitcoin has failed to present itself as an effective hedge against inflation as bitcoin itself is also affected by economic crises

in the long run, bitcoin can be considered a safe haven, if you use bitcoin to store assets for the long term and likely won't need them for the next 10 years
fiat will continue to depreciate over time and bitcoin will appreciate over time so bitcoin can also be seen as a long-term safe haven
1910  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc crime on: August 19, 2022, 03:43:01 AM
as you say, cryptocurrencies are of great benefit in helping the police to effectively prevent crime, the more criminals use cryptocurrencies, the easier it is for the police to track down and catch them
it's the complete opposite of what the media is spreading that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies make criminals more sophisticated, more complex, this is one of the benefits that the government should consider for cryptocurrencies and early mass adoption of cryptocurrencies, lol Cheesy Cheesy


Discussing this will never end, because there will always be two sides, pros and cons. For the pros, bitcoin is a savings for the future and a secure to be used as  payment. As for the cons, they will always look for the weaknesses of BTC which are not often also not in accordance with the vision and mission of satoshi. Crime happens not only in this world using BTC.

certainly, i understand that, but we're talking about bitcoin here, so bitcoin and crime are really unrelated
if there is no bitcoin, criminals will use fiat, so why doesn't the government criticize or accuse fiat, they are targeting bitcoin, they see bitcoin as a threat to their dominance
if they don't like bitcoin, they can't use it and they can ban it but don't use illogical reasons to condemn bitcoin
1911  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NFT and what to buy now? on: August 18, 2022, 03:48:25 PM
In my opinion if this time NFT was not become the right investment. It's better if you are holding your bitcoin or convert into the utility token. NFT hype has gone and its floor was decreasing a lot. You shall try to analyze what happened with market. Bitcoin is always bouncing back again but it seems like that achieving 26k rate would be an impossible thing for sure. Im sure about that. In my opinion if you must also aware about that.
NFT "was" a good investment and I do believe that it will become a good one again in the near future as well. People are using them right now to build projects that could get better. Back in the day they only sold images, now they realize that NFT could be used for gaming, which is getting a ton ore popular, and we are going to see a lot more stuff as well.

That means in the near future when the bull run comes again, and price breaks ATH again, then we are going to see all of these improvements on NFT world come to light with brand new projects and people will have excess profit from the bull run to spend on these projects for sure, it will definitely be something great.

to be fair, the fate of nft is still unclear, although many nfts have lost more than 90% of their value due to the bear market and the nft hype is almost gone
but looking at the altcoin market is not much better, topcoin also dropped in price so it can't be said that nft is over and has no future
we should wait until the bear season is over then we will really know if nft is dead or is it still trending in the future
1912  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc crime on: August 18, 2022, 03:40:01 PM
A criminal using bitcoin as a means of laundering money does not make it a Bitcoin crime. Your title is wrong and misleading.
Criminals have always had means to clean stolen money long before bitcoin was envisioned.

This makes me wonder if crypto is easier to track than using fiat to move the funds around.

If they withdrew cash and transported it via car from France to Israel, they'd only really risk being found at the initial withdraw step (and if they can hide their identity well for that bit, they probably wouldn't be recognised the rest of the way) - the money could then be laundered by more tried and tested measures to ensure it looks like they acquired it a legit way.
Stories like this simply show us cryptocurrency isn't the perfect tool for criminals to deal with, different from what the media tell us. Thieves are constantly getting caught when using crypto for their schemes. Maybe that is because crypto is trackable like everything in this virtual universe, different from paper money which doesn't let any traces on most cases and require deep and long investigations until authorities discover the scheme.

The more criminals use cryptocurrency for their businesses, the easier it's going to be for the police to do their job.

as you say, cryptocurrencies are of great benefit in helping the police to effectively prevent crime, the more criminals use cryptocurrencies, the easier it is for the police to track down and catch them
it's the complete opposite of what the media is spreading that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies make criminals more sophisticated, more complex, this is one of the benefits that the government should consider for cryptocurrencies and early mass adoption of cryptocurrencies, lol Cheesy Cheesy
1913  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How often do you use Bitcoin? on: August 18, 2022, 03:25:50 PM
I'm just curious to know how often people on the forum make BTC transactions.
Feel free to expand on your answer below, should you desire.

Please vote honestly, thanks.
I make bitcoin transcation once per week when i received my signature payment via bitcoin. Other times I use other cryptocurrencies.  Because transaction fees in other cryptocurrencies are much lower than Bitcoin.  And the transfer speed is very high then btc. So I find it more convenient to use other coins than Bitcoin most of the time

op is talking about using bitcoin for everyday payments like shopping and utility bills, i don't think he is referring to bitcoin transactions between platforms, if you are a bitcoin trader then you may not be able to calculate your daily transactions

i also don't do a lot of my bitcoin transactions, i mainly accumulate and hold for the long term
sometimes  need cash, i will sell some bitcoins for fiat money because bitcoins where i live are not popular

Jose Mourinho is a great contender for the Scudetto this season after making good signings in the transfer window this season. Only Paulo Dybala in the team alone, it's already work done for the players, like Pellegrini, Tammy Abraham, Zaniolo and Gini Wijnaldum. Jose Mourinho have a lengthy experience in football and managing stars in his squad, so the case if AS Roma won't be an exception. Let's see how the new season goes for them, if they would be able to lift trophies this season.
They are better, I'm sure of that. But to become Scudetto winners, they still have a lot of work to do. Plus some of the teams that used to disappear are now slowly returning with the team strength built up. For now, I can only say that they will threaten the top position, it is likely that they will finish in the Champions League zone.
This is Jose Mourinho's second season as AS Roma coach after last season they won the trophy they had been waiting for, AS Roma's development after being coached by Jose Mourinho looked very good, especially this season they overhauled the squad very deeply to bring in many players quality , I will not deny that they are named as one of the strong contenders for the Scudetto this season because it is very logical if you look at the strength they currently have.
even now there are several Serie A clubs that have developed and are ready to compete for the Scudetto, I think it's better for Serie A which will be increasingly fierce and competitive.

i am also going to doubt @hashrateproducts, and going to agree with @Fesatmas and @Fakhrulenclix as well

yes, they have become better as a team, they have also improved the quality of the team and obviously, they also have a good coach, but to win the Italian League title is something else
i am also going to say that they played really well in the first match even though they just scored only one goal, if they care about bringing their finishing up a notch, i am sure that they have a chance, but it is still going to be very hard
1915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 17, 2022, 05:20:23 AM
snip

From my point of view, I think that the technical director is the big problem, and that technical director is going to lead Man United to total bankruptcy in terms of football, and it is incredible that the team management has not noticed it, nothing more getting mad at CR7 by not getting him to play is something he should no longer do, he has turned everything into a personal problem and these things are really bad for a team, as I see it, they will continue to lose against teams that should win because they are not so complicated to win, of course this my opinion.

I think that above all, professionalism should prevail, honestly, Man United has disappointed me with how they have handled things.

it has been a joke to watch Manchester United handle things the way they have
just a few days ago, they made some changes to the coaching staff, there is no doubt that the coaches that they have changed did not do a good job at all
furthermore, the coaches that they brought in later actually managed to do worse than the coaches they brought in earlier

there is no chemistry between the players, and honestly, it seems like the players do not even want to be a part of Manchester United, the team did not even finish in the top 4 of the standings last season and i am not going to be surprised if they do not even finish in the top 6 of the standings this coming season

in a way, banks are still essential to us, bitcoin and banks have their own functions and use cases
it is not safe to put all your assets in bitcoin, the risks in the crypto industry are also many, being hacked by hackers, losing private keys...
all of these will also make your assets not 100% safe and you cannot sue anyone if your property is lost, better way is we should divide our assets and put them in different points
1917  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: why can't bitcoin be based on something that has value? on: August 17, 2022, 02:56:19 AM
Even gold isn't backed up by anything, right?  Grin
So why do people trust it and want to pay with expensive value? Because people believe Gold is valuable. The main thing here is people's trust. It is the same as Bitcoin, it doesn't need to be backed up by something because people trust it. People believe Bitcoin is something valuable and useful for human life. In this matter, something like Gold and Bitcoin is acceptable although it is not guaranteed by anything.


Bitcoin is software. Gold is an element that cannot be created by man. It has to be mined. And obviously there is a limited supply of it available here on earth. Gold is a precious metal that has many applications and uses. Bitcoin is just software. You can copy software and rename it. You can't do that with gold.

Anyone with particular knowledge can create cryptocurrency. But not anyone can produce gold because it is an natural mineral resource that has limited supply. While this is true, it should also be noted that bitcoin can't just be reproduced easily by copying and renaming. It doesn't work that way. If you will insist on doing so, you will definitely not succeed in renaming it alone. You can do another crypto coin, but it isn't guaranteed that it will be as valuable as bitcoin.

Remember, there are many crypto coins now circulating in the market, but not everyone has a value. Not everyone of it have the potential to rise up or surpass bitcoin too. Because without patronage, a crypto coin is useless.

although bitcoin is really just software and only works when there is an internet connection, but look back 13 years, many altcoins have been created and have you seen one that is similar to bitcoin or is there any better than bitcoin that you have seen?

whatever it is, their value will be determined by people's beliefs, once we lose faith in it, they will become useless
gold is no exception, its value is also determined by people's beliefs
1918  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins for this week on: August 17, 2022, 02:44:56 AM
this week until the end of the month I prefer Ethereum,
because we all know Etherum is trying to breakout from $2000 and indeed the sentiment is still bullish,
because in September maybe Ethereum will experience a correction after $2000 has passed,
yes it is because the Ethereum Merge was carried out in September

in these current times, a lot of attention is being paid to ethereum, but if you missed the opportunity to buy ethereum at a good price, buying ethereum from now on is also risky

it seems that the price of ethereum has been at a very high level since last month, but will the merge really help to lift the price of ethereum higher? in addition to the chance, there is still some risk involved when buying ethereum at 1800-1900.

After the successive defeats of ManU and the apparent need to an an attacker, they seem to be very close to sign Matheus Cunha from ATM for £42m. This might improve their attack line but definitely not the dysfunction of the midfield nor the defence line..

i wonder if Manchester United is still able to improve even if they bring in a replacement attacker, they have problems in the whole team and it is not going to be fixed just by bringing in a single attacker, i believe the problem is much more serious than just Manchester United's attacking style
honestly, i really don’t know how the problem is going to be solved


Chelsea is also looking to bring Casadei and Anthony Gordon to reinforce their squad.

Chelsea seems to be heading to work, they know their weaknesses and they are trying to bring in replacement players accordingly, those two players will definitely strengthen the Chelsea squad a lot more, they don't necessarily have to be these two players but i think they will work fine

2023 and beyond will be the year for altcoins that do have clear utility, there we can see which altcoins can survive and develop,
i think next trend is for Gaming and Metaverse, matic polygon,sand, sol, bnb, eth, and gala are also good alternatives.


i also predict the metaverse will be the next trend of the market, right at the top of the metaverse list we have sandbox and mana
you can refer to both, there is a possibility that these 2 coins will bring a lot of profit if the prediction is accurate
i also bought some mana token when price was below 0.8$ and i will keep it till next bull season, i'm considering the sandbox because i prefer mana, i'll probably buy and hold both
