It is foolhardy to think that BTC is not money at this point, because everyone is using it that way. End of story. Undeniable, but let them have an opinion. I agree bitcoin is a currency although I can't use it to pay for anything in my country especially for goods or services. But out there people have clearly accepted bitcoin as a means of payment especially for countries that have legalized it, that's partly understandable. It was designed as a currency to replace fiat but people use it as an investment tool and this mindset has persisted and spread to this day. If it is not currency then why so many countries and companies accept it as a means of payment. Why did people not use gold as a means of payment before, but now choose bitcoin? Bitcoin is a currency but it is not a fiat currency as the government makes it, it is a decentralized currency and is used without anyone controlling it. |

The biggest mistake people make investing in crypto is not looking for more information and just trying to follow the rumors to buy a coin they think will explode in no time. But the reality is not so because the coins they buy do not provide as much profit as they think.
And if they invest in bitcoin, they also don't predict when to buy bitcoin but follow what is presented through many websites about it will increase in a short time, so buy it before it's too late. Once again, reality didn't turn out the way they wanted. That makes many people suffer losses in investing in crypto and say that crypto is a scam.
Mostly, losses in crypto become possible because they invested in the wrong coins particularly in those hyped coins as they thought they will gain quick profits. But it turned out that instead of making profits, they fall into more losses. However, if people chose to invest in bitcoin and buy them while the price is still cheap, then losses will not be possible as they won't be selling of course when the price is not yet profitable. It is also possible that they lost money because they bought bitcoin at a high price, they did not research everything carefully before buying and they only bought when someone recommended that bitcoin will increase in price in the future if they buy bitcoin, they did not receive a warning about the short-term volatility of bitcoin. Buying bitcoin is the right thing to do, but at what price we buy is the key to making a profit. It can be said that the cause of the loss is not due to the market or anyone, but because they themselves were too hasty to invest when they did not have enough knowledge and experience. |

Sooner or later Newcastle will increase the number of elite clubs in the Premier League, the money they currently have can look at any player they want. Newcastle interest in Alexander Isak makes perfect sense, he is still young and can be a new goal machine for Newcastle.
Newcastle are making gradual improvements in their squad, one by one star players have begun to be brought in. It is quite interesting to see that Newcastle can penetrate the top of the standings because it will further increase the competition in the top four positions. The main capital is financial strength, so it will greatly support the team's ambition to compete in the standings. Newcastle's realistic target this season is to end the season in 5th because that is the ranking that would see them qualify for the Europa League, but I doubt to say they are competing for the top 4. Newcastle will start a good story about their journey to the top of the table if their management is good. I just think they have to take a good opportunity to keep improving their squad all the time if top of the table is a dream to come true. Yes sooner or later they will be good, but not for now or the next 2 seasons I think. Newcastle United had a match drawn against Manchester City. As a matter of fact, that should be regarded as an accomplishment in itself. The Newcastle United team did not have any problems scoring goals against Manchester City either. In the end, the match ended in a 3-3 draw. It is obvious to me that this is a great result for Newcastle United against Manchester City. During the course of the season, they have played three games, won one, and drawn two. It hasn't been great, but it has been good so far. In addition, I have no doubt that they will be improving the squad more and more as time progresses. In my opinion, soon they are going to be a team that is going to be competing for a spot in the Champions League. |

You must feel kinda stupid, OP. You really should be incredibly wealthy now it you weren’t so ignorant or risk averse in 2012. I started buying in 2015 because I knew it’d blow up. I don’t think I could live with myself if I stood on the sidelines & did nothing. Hopefully you bought enough in 2019 to have at least some exposure.
Nothing to regret or feel kinda stupid here, if bitcoin wasn't interested and didn't grow as explosively as it is today then you could say the OP was a bit stupid at the time. You should know that the explosion of bitcoin is unpredictable even if it is Satoshi. I believe the early adopters also sold out their bitcoins shortly after the price of bitcoin went up 10x or 100x, very few people could hold them until today. There is still time to invest in bitcoin, it is still possible to become rich if you invest in bitcoin today and hold it for ten years or even twenty years from now. |

I think the match that becomes difficult to predict and worth watching is Juventus VS Roma.
I think both teams have their own tactics. I believe this is a match that is much awaited by all football fans in Italy, this match I think will get a draw between Roma and Juventus with a score of 0-0.
Yes, so far AS Roma have earned their trust after they were able to perform as expected. And in the match against Juventus, if they can achieve maximum results then they will be more confident. Juventus slipped slightly when they had to be detained by Sampdoria in their match last week. AS Roma actually have more of the upper hand now, an interesting match to look forward to. Statistically, the meeting between the two teams shows Juventus' dominance over AS Roma. However, many predict that AS Roma will make it difficult for Juventus, because they see the pace of Rome which is quite consistent in the previous two matches. But for me this match is an outlet for Dybala, he will of course go all out to crush the Bianconeri in front of his fans, of course this match will be very emotional for Dybala. I have checked the statistics of the last 15 matches of Juventus vs Roma. Juventus have won 10 of their last 15 matches against Roma. Roma won just two matches. And the remaining three matches were drawn. So considering the statistics, Juventus is undoubtedly ahead. But if we consider the performance of these two teams this season then I will put the Roma team ahead. I have not seen the performance of the Juventus team. The bonding between the players is still not good. They are not playing their best. This squad needs more time to stabilize. On the other hand, Mourinho's AS Roma team is now quite stable. And so against Juventus, they will definitely play for full points. |

Mane's departure affected Liverpool and Bayern Munich both significantly. Liverpool clearly have some problems with their usual attacking pattern in the absence of Mane. They had really big difficulties in the Manchester United game. Liverpool has signed Darwin Núñez as Mane's replacement. I have no doubts about this youngster's performance, he is a very promising player. But his performance in the first match was very poor. And he will not be able to play the next 3 matches due to a red card. So we still don't know how suitable Darwin Núñez is as a replacement for Sadio Mane. On the other hand, Bayern Munich are doing a great job with Mane now. He is playing like he was used to play for them before. His contribution with goals is already at an important level. Mane is really a game changer for any team he goes to.
Mane has adapted well to the Bayern Munich team. Mane is doing a great performance since the first match. And so now Bayern Munich fans are not missing Lewandowski. Hopefully, Bayern Munich will be able to dominate the Champions League this season as well as the Bundesliga. |

I guess you are indicating towards a pre-90s era when there was no concept of neutral umpiring in cricket but again back then every cricket playing nation had this problem.
In the early 90s neutral umpires started featuring in test cricket, also i don't remember any major instance where umpires were deliberately helping the Indian team.
But i do agree that BCCI do have a habit of being reluctant on adopting tech at the start or any new things, although it's changing nowadays, not fast enough but it's going forward as they recently announced the adoption of more technical stuff in Ranji like DRS etc Well.. now neutrality of umpires doesn't matter much, because we have the option of DRS. But still, there is a need to eliminate the "umpire's call" loophole. The fact that BCCI don't want to use latest technology in domestic cricket may have something to do with financial reasons. Indian domestic cricket consists of 38 first class teams, and a huge number of matches are being played every year. Implementing technology such as DRS will require additional manpower, and extra funds. And I am sure that the BCCI guys may not be happy with this requirement. I've said a few times that the "Umpire Calls" rule should be scrapped, IMO if a ball is touching the stumps even for 10% or even clipping it (the current rule is for more than 50%) then it should be out but I guess ICC willingly leaving some scope for human error in umpiring despite tech is available there to use. Yeah, a huge number of matches in the domestic circuit could create a financial burden but we can't deny the fact that it does help players immensely. I think they will use this according to grouping (relegation). Also, I'm in favor of using full fledge technical/technique analysis for players so that BCCI can identify and tackle their weaknesses at a domestic level, shouldn't cost more than $10-15 Million per season for satisfactory results. I’m fired call is still in the game just because technology can also be wrong. So, they tried to make the best out of both parties. And through that way even though the technology is the best idea, they decided to keep the umpire's call so that if there is any fault in the technology, the on field umpire is the one to finalize the decision. But to me, this is just a bunch of bullshit. If you have the technology available and also true science you can understand and see in the trajectory the ball is going, why would you go against it just by keeping the umpire's call? We all know that the DRS system is quite expensive to have. All the cricket boards don’t even have the luxury of the system. So, it is obvious that India, in the state level cricket, will not be able to implement the DRS system. I’m quite sure they can if they want to. But that is obviously going to take a toll on the finance of BCCI. |

The huge sign on fee demanded by Wolves for signing of Veto will likely make Arsenal to back out from the deal, Wolves are demanding a sign on fee between £50million and £60million, recall Arsenal indeed spent huge amount of money to beef up their squad in the transfer window they wouldn't want to spend more fund to sign Neto except they sold some of their out of favor players like Pepe, truly Arsenal needed a backup extra winger if they want to clinch top 4 spot though they have enough midfielders in the squad.
With Neto's contract at Wolves running until 2027, Wolves are under no pressure to sell him. He signed a new contract until 2027 and that’s why they are demanding that heavy. However, I believes Neto would be an ideal addition to Arsenal's squad this season and beyond. Since Arsenal are playing European football this season, there’s need for squad depth to cope with the packed schedule and reduce Bukayo Saka and Martinelli from being overworked.  https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/19556868/arsenal-transfer-news-live-tielemans-pedro-neto-paquetaIt seems like Arsenal will be able to get Tielemans for a price of £38 million. In my opinion, this is a very good deal. Neto has also been offered a price of £35 million by Arsenal in exchange for the player. Apart from his current club, Wolves want to pay £50 million for this player, which is a little too much for him. It is not likely that Arsenal will be willing to pay such a high price for him, in my opinion. I think that Arsenal can look at other options if it really wants to get a player for that much money if it actually wants to get one. |

Bitcoin surely has a long way to go but whatsoever speculations we make about it's price will just be a mere speculation.
Nobody can tell what the price could be in a long term. One thing we can definitely say is that bitcoin will survive and exist in the long run.
Given a duration of 28 years from now, which means by 2050 the price could cross $10 million according to me.
If not $10 million then it would definitely cross $1 million by then. 28 years is a long time though.
1bitcoin to reach 10 million dollars is impossible, then the crypto market cap will be huge, bigger than gold, stock market or any other market. But with the target of 1bitcoin = 1 million USD will be more feasible, then the capitalization of bitcoin will be 19 trillion USD with 19 million bitcoins circulating in the market. Actually, we can only predict for fun, this is really unimaginable and predictable, it's too far from reality. Bitcoin price is priced based on a lot of objective factors and we cannot even imagine what kind of asset bitcoin will become in 2050 so it is unpredictable. |

ETH seems more predictable to me. OP, if you still have 50% of your fund to allocate then I advise you should invest in ETH. I expect a sharp downward after the PoS Merge and recorrection after that. Better lay up your orders for the ETH dips.
You are thinking that ETH will be dumped as soon as the merger is over. it's a well-founded prediction but you should keep in mind that the market and ETH are still dependent on the movement of bitcoin. If bitcoin rises in price at that time, it is unlikely that ethereum will be dumped but will follow the trend of bitcoin. Predicting the direction of bitcoin or any coin is very difficult, there are no guarantees. Your prediction for ETH, I think many people have also thought, and do you think that when everyone is predictable it will still happen? |

^ I've heard that bitcoin is pretty hot in Nigeria though, so idk. Maybe only in terms of investing and not in payments.
Not only in Nigeria, but bitcoin is getting hotter throughout the world, as you stated, it is more commonly used as an investment strategy than a payment method. Even in countries that have accepted bitcoin as legal, people tend to treat bitcoins as an investment rather than using them to pay their daily bills. It does not matter what they use bitcoins for, as long as they are not illegal to do so, it is a great thing that bitcoin is being used more and more and more. |

3 games: 17 goals scored and 3 goals conceded...
This is a magical start for PSG to the league. The unbelievable win against Lille is already among the best games PSG have had in the league. I always want to see the trio playing like this. They can be unstoppable if they do this regularly. But this is of course a piece-of-cake league for PSG. We will see their real strength in the Champions League.
even if they don't win with such big scores regularly they will still be unstoppable in ligue 1, no good competitor whatsoever, and as you said we'll see what they can do in the champions league, I think everyone is just waiting for them to face bigger teams in CL, that's where it's going to be a real challenge for them and them we can see how good they actually are. Not many big clubs can play like PSG who can get a lot of goals in a very short time because most of them only get less than 10 goals, if PSG can get more goals then it will give a high number of points and will It is very difficult to beat PSG when it is already at the top of the French league rankings. Lille is considered one of PSG's main rivals for the Ligue 1 title. But PSG won by 7 goals against Lille. Now it doesn't look like PSG will face any obstacles to winning the Ligue 1 title. PSG will win the French league title as usual this season too. Now they are slowly moving towards winning the Champions League title. It is expected that PSG will play well in the Champions League this season. |

I am a little surprised by the negative results achieved by Atletico Madrid, because apart from they lost this match their game was also not as expected. Villareal were able to play better and were also effective in this match.
If you look at the starting lineups, you must realize the reason why Atletico can be defeated in that match. I don't know what Simeone thinks about the strategy, but putting 3 defenders only is too risky against a strong team like Villareal. Even worse, 1 from 3 defenders (Savic-Mandava-Witsel) basically isn't a pure defender, Witsel is a defensive midfielder. Simeone ideally excludes Witsel and chooses Gimenez or Hermoso or Felipe, to strengthen Atletico defense line. Villareal can win because Atletico used a bad strategy and choose the wrong players for the lineups, especially for the defenders. Well, the truth is that I didn't understand the reason why Cholo had put his lineup up so aggressively and focused only on attack, 3 defenders could only win a game that got out of hand and also the risk is great and I think very few coaches run those risks, that even the goalkeepers go out to attack when it comes to a corner or a foul, in any case, I don't like how Simeone is doing it or how he is handling it if we are I'm going to put it on a scale From 1 to 10, I would give it a 5, because it is not generating results and it is worrying, especially with the high level of competitiveness in the league. I think that Diego Simeone should realize this is not working and try some other tactics. Because there are a lot more important games still left to be played. And they will still have to play against some better opponents. I don’t know how they will be able to do that with these tactics if this is not even working against opponents that are not the best in the league. And also the players need to stay cool and keep calm if things are not going their way. Things are already quite bad and there is no need to get air suspension willingly. |

At least Manchester United have proven that they are still able to compete, after losing to a team of lower quality than Manchester United, now they can get a win from a stronger team. Ten Hag hard work has paid off with the perfect results he just got, Manchester United players also performed consistently in this Big Match match. The next game Manchester United can already play Casemiro, who has just been brought in from Real Madrid, Casemiro presence can make Manchester United midfield even stronger.
I also hope Casemiro can have a good effect on Manchester United's performance this season because the midfield is also an important line in a team so it would be very good if Casemiro could adjust himself faster and work with the players at Manchester United this season. I still really believe that Manchester United can bounce back this season by trying to win every game in the Premier League. Manchester United will benefit from Casemiro as Casemiro is a very experienced player. He played 8 seasons with Real Madrid. Among them he won three La Liga and 5 Champions League. He knows very well how to perform on any platform. As he is experienced enough, he can adapt quickly to the United squad as well. Also Casemiro's chemistry with Ronaldo will be better. Manchester United's attack will be stronger. |

The bigger question is going to be whether Manchester United wants him to be a part of their team? There is no doubt that Manchester United has a good amount of attacking players in their team. The most important thing that Manchester United needs right now is defensive players. Therefore, I do not think that they are going to make an offer that will be hard for Ajax to refuse when it comes to Antony. However, if he had been a defensive player, probably the story would have been different. As of right now, I do not see a reason why Manchester United is going to meet with him. There is no doubt that Manchester United will be able to get a striker into the team, but it would be a bad idea to do so. |

The unfortunate moment had happened long time ago so those people have probably moved on and already have a money on them so the btc that they will be getting won't be immediately needed. People shouldn't see this as a negative news but it's a kind of positive news actually because who would have thought that the coins are still going to be returned to their rightful owners?
I agree with this thinking, this story happened in 2014 and getting compensation now is a surprise for them. No one would have thought they would be able to get their compensation after all these years, so they had other ways to fix their problems in the past. Getting back BTC is not necessary to use it now and in Mt.Gox announcement they can get it back with BTC or cash so don't worry and don't spread FUD. |

This is probably the first business in your area to accept bitcoin, so it's not complete yet. You should come back to the store later to see if they have fully completed the steps to allow customers to pay with bitcoin.
It would be inconvenient and pointless if only the store owner knew about bitcoin and the sales staff knew nothing about it. He's not there often and if the shopper pays with bitcoin it's at a disadvantage and time consuming.
He should teach his employees about bitcoin or send them to take bitcoin basics classes. So they can replace him when he's not at the store.

Long-term investment doesn't mean a coin should be hodl for a very long time. When investing a coin for Long-term, when the market becomes very bullish its nice to take up profit, and if the market goes low again then buy and hodl till it is due for profit.
If the concept is like that, then it is clear that it is not an investment in the long term and it is also more likely to be called a short term trade because it always considers the profit in any amount. But investors who like investing in the long term will not be happy to sell their assets only for a profit of 5 - 6% of their capital, because they want to get bigger profits by risking time through their patience. It's speculation, not long-term investment. The long-term investment will be calculated in years and of course profit from 10%, to 20% is not the goal of long-term investment. Additionally, we can't be sure of what the market will do tomorrow. If you take profits today and you wait for the market to fall to buy back, but unfortunately the market does not fall but continues to rise sharply then you will lose both the opportunity and the bigger profit. |

Difficult financial faced by Barcelona right now after still not registering with new recruitment like Jules Koundé I think could be priority for Barcelona selling Aubameyang to Chelsea, I think £15 million could be expensive transfer values and Barcelona not make Aubameyang as regular player position on attacking line. Trough still need to cut off several percent salary accepted by senior player I think better selling Aubameyang and make better condition with all Barcelona player. Left few days before window transfer close and Barcelona still have chance negotiating with Chelsea to give best offer values for Aubameyang. I think Chelsea urgent looking for with central forward and will pay higher price offering by Barcelona. Money is going to be important for Barcelona. But I wonder when they are getting £15 million and also a player for Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, whether they will be able to increase the money more. But I heard that Chelsea has increased the amount of money to £22 Million. I think that should be enough for Barcelona considering that they are also getting Marcos Alonso. And I certainly think that this amount of money is enough for a player who came in the squad for free. A really good deal for Barcelona in my opinion. |

Shaheen Shah Afridi has been ruled out of Asia Cup 2022 due to his knee injury and the same situation for Jaspreet Bhumbra. Virat Kholi is busy with Bollywood and is least bothered about his performance. Therefore in this Asia cup, we might be able to find a new set of players or might not find anyone. Still this match would be entertaining to watch. Agreed, Ireland have played almost every match in home ground. This had helped them play better than playing away from the home. Ireland have given tough play against the top teams. Slowly it needs to gain good position playing away from the country. Soon after T20 World Cup we can see more matches to be scheduled for Ireland with top teams.
When they had players such as Kevin O'Brien, William Porterfield and Boyd Rankin, they used to perform better in sub-continental conditions. Because these players had a lot of experience. But now they are all retired and the Irish are in the process of rebuilding their team with younger players. Tucker and Tector have emerged as exciting prospects in middle order batting. But in sub-continent, spin plays a major role. And as of now, Ireland don't have any quality spinners. Simi Singh, Andy McBrine and Gareth Delany have so far fared poorly. I agree with @pakhitheboss, that this match is going to be interesting but it could have been a lot more interesting if all the players were available for this match. I really think India is very happy that Shaheen Shah Afridi is not going to be available for this match. But this match is still going to be very interesting because we did not have India versus Pakistan match For more than a year I believe. And we all know that bilateral series is not going to happen between these teams. So this is the best we will be able to get for now. @Vishnu.Reang, Recently Ireland has proved themselves against Afghanistan and they have also played well against India. But I don’t know if that is enough. For some reason, I believe Ireland has a really good fighting chance against Bangladesh right now. And I also believe that Bangladesh also should be tested playing against Ireland in Ireland. |
