Barcelona not being able to get Gvardiol is ideal, their financial condition has not improved completely. So, which team do you think Gvardiol will choose next season? Of course he will not stay in Leipzig and miss a golden opportunity to join Europe's top teams. If we eliminate Barcelona, ​​it means that there are only 4 clubs currently interested in him, they are Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea.
Josko Gvardiol himself still has a long contract at Leipzig until 2017, so it is highly unlikely that Barcelona will be able to sign him. But yes, maybe if Barcelona sells some expensive players who are completely useless, it might be possible for Josko Gvardiol to join Barcelona.
But I think Josko Gvardiol seems smart enough to choose which team is right for him, because choosing to join Barcelona I think is very wrong.
Unless Josko Gvardiol has the same strong will as Lewandowski, Rafinha and also Kounde. They even turned down offers from other big teams because they really wanted to play for Barcelona, when in fact the situation and conditions for Barcelona were very chaotic.
So yes, if Josko Gvardiol gets offers from other clubs especially from Real Madrid, then surely it will be better for Josko Gvardiol for his long term career as well. Considering Josko Gvardiol is still very young and joining Real Madrid is a very promising career for Josko Gvardiol.

I don’t think Joško Gvardiol actually has the wish to play for Barcelona, as much as Lewandowski and others. The club is not financially stable and it will be better for him if he moves to another club if he is forced to move. I don’t know if Real Madrid is planning to offer him. However, if Real Madrid doesn’t have any interest in him, it will be helpful for him if he does not switch to Barcelona right now.

Yes, at the moment Barcelona is at the top of the La Liga table. As such, it might seem interesting to move there, but Barcelona could slip from this position at any moment. It is not wise for any young footballer to transfer to Barcelona right now. And look at another issue, which is that Barcelona has too many players in the squad right now. And a lot of players are not getting enough playtime. That alone should take the interest of players away from Barcelona.

Napoli have not shown many weaknesses this season. They have scored a lot of goals and haven't conceded many. So, my opinion is that they will continue to play well in the second half of the season.
I wish them luck but we can not say they are zero-weakness before the season ending. Lot of things can happen until season ending and the Scudetto competition is still going for all top clubs.

Just because they did not show too many weaknesses before the break does not mean that they are not expecting to show any weaknesses after the break. We have seen them facing lots of difficulties towards the end of the season. There is still a long way to go and things can change even though they have a significant advantage. But obviously, the teams below them will have to perform better


-snip
The point advantage which is quite far from its rivals is certainly an advantage for Napoli. In the second round, it is predicted that several teams in Serie A will start to revive because of the possibility that in the transfer window they will improve their squad. For the Napoli coach, he must be aware of this and must always instruct his players to be able to play spartan in every match. Starting the first match after the World Cup break will determine the Partenopei's steps. If they are again able to collect perfect points in that initial match, I believe it will be very difficult to stop Napoli's progress to win the Scudetto.

I really want Napoli to start thinking about bringing in some players. At this moment, things are looking bright. But the problem is if someone gets injured it may be difficult for them to continue performing like this. So, I think they should bring in a few players for those who are more injury prone. Otherwise, they will encounter the same problems that they did in the last season.
1963  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: NFT Speculation on: December 18, 2022, 10:15:00 AM
Similar to what I have been saying for a few months, I speculate that as more and more regulations come to control Defi and the cryptospace industry, the next unregulated part of this will be the NFTspace.

No one is going to regulate DEFI. At least in comming 5-10 years. So far they are trying to regulate centralized exchange which seams no to work good (FTX scam). So in next few years they will close some fiat/crypto getaways, they will regulate the rest of them. Made in/out of crypto 100% KYC. After its done they can try to regulate DEFI but how?
The only way to regulate defi on ETH is to buy 51% of tokens or convince hodlers of 51% of tokens to do something. And thats only ETH defi. BNB,TRX,AVX,DOT, MATIC defi is intact. So no one will migrate to NFT. Big money will not move to buy pictures for millions. Big money will buy BTC and ETH as the most liquid and safe assets. Regulations will help that. Big money don't buy illiquid assets. NFT is super illiquid.
Once the regulations are in place, that means they will regulate the entire crypto industry, not just centralized projects. Defi or any decentralized project today created and managed by individuals, organizations, or companies, regulation has never been difficult for the government.
In case the government can't regulate it, they can try to destroy it. Do you remember what happened to tornado cash? With one ban or arrest of the founder, everything will be instantly ruined. Don't look down on the government, they are more than capable of doing it.
1964  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I want to ask, at the end of the bitcoin and altcoin year, will the price go up on: December 18, 2022, 10:02:38 AM
according to your predictions or speculations, will bitcoin and altcoins increase in price at the end of the year or not? and if there is an increase in the price of an altcoin, do you think which altcoin will rise higher?
I think Bitcoin still has time to achieve an unprecedented rise, but in my opinion, this year is not enough to recover. We need 2-5 years, and the good thing is that Bitcoin benefited from the crisis of the collapse of the FTX platform and its currency, and the collapse of Luna coin, and it gained the confidence of investors, as it survived by distinguishing itself during the bankruptcy period and the collapse and during the bear market, so there is a bright future and an unprecedented rise for Bitcoin, and we cannot forget Ethereum, as it is one of the best currencies and has huge popularity after Bitcoin, and I think it will rise while Bitcoin rises and the market improves.
this is why altcoin has a low chance of increasing  in these time because bitcoin cannot even make a hype , for months now bitcoin stays low and shows nothing to expect in high.

Many were expecting us to enter the last month of the year with a rally in bitcoin as well as the market. With inflation falling, the Fed lowering interest rates, all of which are good signs for a green market but then things went differently than expected when there were so many Fuds around Binance, DCG selling their crypto assets to save Gemini, and Genesis.

The market is difficult to recover at the end of the year, just over 10 days left until we end the year, and at this point, we are sure that the market will end the year with another red candle.

A lot of new signing is on the way after the world cup and the transfer window open up, I am hoping that some of the young players who have showcased their talent during the World cup will finally get signed to reputable clubs where they can continue to build their career. La liga next season will witness new vibes from those players that are produced from the current formations
Of the few players who have had very good performances during the World Cup, I'm very concerned about the issue regarding Gvardiol in the upcoming transfer window. The last information I read, Real Madrid and Barcelona have an intention to bring this young Croatian defender to their team. Especially Barcelona, ​​they are likely to have more focus on getting Gvardiol's contract due to the lack of players for their defensive line.

Even so, it looks like Barcelona will not have an easy journey to get Gvardiol, because apart from their rival (Real Madrid), 3 big EPL clubs also want Gvardiol in their team, these teams are Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Barcelona is probably not going to be able to get this player. Because right now I think Gvardiol is probably worth £78 million. Barcelona surely cannot afford that type of money at all. This player is attracting a lot of big clubs right now. And the money is not going to decrease. The asking price is going to increase if anything.

So, my prediction is that Barcelona will not be able to get him. And Barcelona should concentrate on selling players instead of buying right now. They have a lot of players that are not very useful to the team right now. Selling them is going to save a lot of money for Barcelona.
1966  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 18, 2022, 06:54:34 AM
now it is obvious that inter is no longer in the running to win the scudetto! he would need more than a miracle. 11 points of difference are difficult to recover, Napoli should lose all or almost all direct matches. Inter's goal now remains to qualify for the next Champions League
What you think is impossible always seems possible in football. It doesn't take a miracle to reach the top of the table, Inter just need to improve their form and win every game. I don't think you can guarantee that Napoli won't drop any points during the second half of the season either, so it's always possible for other teams including Inter to overtake Napoli from the top of the table before the season end.
Of course, Napoli will also receive defeats and draws for the following matches, but I am sure that the bad results that Napoli will get will not continue to happen. Likewise with Inter's good results, at least Inter will not continue to win in all subsequent matches.
Therefore, these two teams will indeed get wins, draws and losses, but one thing I believe is that they will not continue to get the same results every match they play.
With these considerations, of course, these two teams will still have a gap that will not make them overtake each other, unless the gap is very close, then of course the possibility of overtaking each other is very likely.
But with this wide enough point gap, I personally doubt if they will get closer in the standings because of course Napoli will also defend its position in the standings with great effort.

Now, even if Napoli cannot perform well for a few matches, they are obviously not going to just throw away the advantage of points that they have. And I have to say the advantage is quite big. I know that anything can happen in football. But this time it feels like it is highly unlikely that Napoli will fail to perform well after the competition resumes. It will be very challenging for the teams below to get anywhere near Napoli. Napoli has the advantage of point difference which is really helpful.

Napoli have not shown many weaknesses this season. They have scored a lot of goals and haven't conceded many. So, my opinion is that they will continue to play well in the second half of the season.
1967  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current discussion: African teams at Qatar. on: December 17, 2022, 03:52:39 PM
LOL.. when I first saw this thread, not even in my wildest dreams I imagined that it will stay alive up to the very end of the competition. To be fair, I wasn't expecting any of the African teams to progress from the group stage. And now we have Morocco who will play tomorrow against Croatia for the 3rd place. And it is going to benefit them financially as well. If they end up with the 3rd price, they will receive $27 million. Even in case they lose, there is no need to get disappointed. The fourth placed team will be getting $25 million from the FIFA.
African teams have always been underrated because of their inability to lift the world cup trophy so it's not a new thing if no one expected the African teams to get to this point. I was expecting Senegal and Ghane to get to the knockout stage but the injury of Mane deter a lot of fans including me who were expecting a good performance from Senegal here we are today celebrating the progress of Morocco who did not just make it to the knock out stage but went ahead to reach the semifinals with a brilliant display in the field of play.

The possibility of Morocco winning against the Croatian team tomorrow is high because following their performance in the competition I don't see Croatia who was poor in performance against Argentina defeating them but even though they lose tomorrow the money is nothing to be compared with the honor and pride they have given Africa but I believe Morocco will win tomorrow against Croatia.

I have to say that this World Cup has been full of amazing matches and upsets. I really did not expect the African and Asian teams to be playing this well at this level of football. On the contrary the European teams kind of disappointed me not gonna lie. If someone had told me that we would be having a Morocco versus Croatia in the third-place match I would certainly not believe him but we are now seeing it and it is what it is. I think that they should be a sign for FIFA that they should try to invest more in the African teams as it seems like they have really good potential to be one of the best.
1968  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ FIFA World Cup 2022: Tournament Discussion Thread for Qatar 2022 on: December 17, 2022, 03:36:51 PM
The second from last game of the tournament is kicking-off on 17th December at Khalifa International Stadium:
Croatia vs Morocco

After the way the Moroccans played against France (compared to the way Croatia played against Argentina), I would say Morocco are favourites to win the game and end the tournament in 3rd place.

Croatia have done very well by reaching the 2018 World Cup final and reaching the 2022 world cup semi-final but they did not take their chances against Argentina in a game they should have won. The referee awarded a penalty to Argentina when he should not have done so and Croatia never managed to gt back in the game.

Croatia 1 - 1 Morocco

37 minutes ongoing...

Croatia has much better team coordination than Morocco, according to my personal opinion, so I will be supporting them in this match against Morocco. I think that one of the main reasons for Croatia's success is the midfield. Luka Modric has to be among the top players in this entire tournament, especially given the combination of Kovačić and Brozović.

Morocco, however, seems to have a really capable defense in my opinion, as they have upset big teams such as Spain and Germany due to their defense. There is no doubt that we will be able to witness a fantastic game of football between the third and fourth best teams in the World Cup.

1970  Economy / Economics / Re: Russian Gas ban - A problem for Europe or suicide for Russia? on: December 17, 2022, 12:36:32 PM


PS No, Russia will not be able to accumulate oil and gas at home - it is a technologically backward country, with an undeveloped or degraded system for the production and storage of gas and oil.

I know you're supporting Ukraine and the EU, and that's your point, but you shouldn't draw conclusions that make you look stupid and ridiculous.
Russia is a country with enormous oil and gas resources, so there is no reason for them to hoard their own oil, it only costs them more for storage, they don't do it because they're not that stupid. If their technology were outdated and undeveloped, they would not have been able to make money from the EU for decades by selling gas to Europe and make Europe half-dead without their gas.

Manchester United will attempts to gets Barcelona player Alejandro Balde this because they impress to his performance during this season especially after Xavi playing him regularly on right back position even he can replace Jordy Alba on that position and why Manchester United want him because Ten Hag feel Balde will be perfect replacement for Luke Shaw who possibly will left Manchester United after end of this season and Balde contract actually will ended on 2024 and Barcelona apparently want to extended his contract but negotiation still stuck until now so Manchester United want to utilized this situation and attempts to gets him
Alejandro Balde is projected by Erik Ten Hak as a replacement for Luke Shaw next season, because the player is almost out of contract and intends to move to another club, this situation has made Manchester United even more interested in bringing Alejandro Balde to Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Alejandro Balde still wants to stay longer at Camp Nou, because the player wants to continue his career at Barcelona. Negotiations between the two parties are still not going smoothly and it is likely that Manchester United will find it difficult to reach an agreement with the players and Barcelona management, because Xavi has a long-term project with the young players they currently have, and it seems that Manchester United's chances of signing Alejandro Balde are very small.

But I am not sure that Barcelona will agree to let him go. Because if Barcelona do end up letting him go, they will have to find another player who will be able to replace Jordi Alba. And right now, Barcelona does not have the money needed for that. I don’t think it will be in the best interest of Barcelona to sell Alejandro Balde.

Because a good defender is going to cost quite a lot of money, especially because of the current inflation going on. Barcelona should concentrate on selling those players and only those players who are not being played. Barcelona has quite a lot of them. Barcelona should realize that and give Balde a contract extension in my opinion. But if the player wants to leave Barcelona, that’s another story.

And I also agree with @hyudien that Newcastle United is going to surprise us in the transfer market this time. I am quite sure that they are going to bring in some big names to the squad. A reason for that is they are currently in the third position on the table. This is a big chance for them to prove that they are also a worthy competitor in the English Premier League. But staying in the third position is obviously not going to be easy at all. And honestly, I have my doubts that they will actually be able to do that.
This season Newcastle looks serious and chasing bigger targets. Last season did not really show its existence, but seeing the progress they are currently running in the Premier League and being able to steal starts from giant clubs makes this rich club more confident that it is taking advantage of the situation with its ideal position that needs to be strengthened in terms of players. Qualified finance is clearly a strong main capital to encourage the Newcastle club to maintain its position.

But keep in mind, Newcastle stability in the standings may not last long either, there are Man United and of course, Liverpool who are in a transition period to optimize their players by bringing in new players.

Newcastle United is currently in the third position on the table. Now, if they were not in the third position on the table, I don’t think they would have taken this so seriously. But once they got the taste of being on the top of the table, they are going to try to hold onto that position. I am quite sure that they are going to try to bring in new players and improve the squad so that they can finish in the top four at least.

It is not going to be easy. Because Tottenham, Manchester United, and Liverpool are right behind them. There is going to be high competition between these teams for the top four spots in the English Premier League. So nothing is certain for Newcastle United right now. But I would like to see Newcastle United Try their best to stay in the third position.
1973  Economy / Economics / Re: The impact of Russian and Ukrain war on world economy on: December 16, 2022, 12:13:49 PM
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has had a significant impact on the economy of our country. I remember when the conflict between these two countries just started, the price of gasoline increased a lot until the highest level reached was more than 2$ per liter.

But it's a good thing now that it has dropped to around 1$-1.2$ per liter, it's good that the conflict between these two countries has calmed down because they are not helping the economy of the countries that surround them in the  world actually.
Don't confuse bubbles bursting with the conflict calming down. It is quite the opposite, the conflict is getting worse every day. Just recently US gave Ukraine the permission to attack Russian soil and Russia armed its nuclear missiles that could reach both US and Europe.

Basically the world got used to this war which may be why you think it has calmed down; the 24/7 coverage during the first days is now a barely mentioned thing that people specially in EU react to as "what else is new" considering all the economical problems they have themselves.

I missed that news, I didn't watch this news recently, and what I found is the US has decided to give Ukraine Patriotic anti-aircraft missile system, and this will make the war bad worse.
Indeed, war shows no sign of abating, it's just that we've gotten used to it and don't care much about it anymore.
Regarding the drop in oil prices, I think this is only temporary and things will get worse when Russia and OPEC simultaneously cut oil production and the Chinese economy reopens.

In my opinion, the introduction of a price limit for oil and gas will not destroy the Russian economy.  


That's what Europe wants, but it won't be that easy, I'm not saying Russia will win at this point. Both will suffer significant damage, but Europe will suffer more, and if it fails in this final round of sanctions, Europe will officially fail on all fronts with Russia. I agree with @Sithara007, oil prices should recover soon in Q1 2023 as supply decreases and demand picks up again as China opens its economy. And inflation will rise again.
1975  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: December 15, 2022, 08:42:50 PM
Until now there were no recent news for Newcastle target players because this team were lack of rumours to upcoming transfer window but to support the current squad in my opinion they have to buy at least one or two famous players and i think it's necessary because after international break ended Premier League will be more competitive because i am sure some of big teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea will attempts to improved their weaknesses with buy new players
But at least Newcastle has successfully to gets Australian youngster Garang Kuol from Central Coast Mariners that this could be potential buying especially after he makes his debut match on world cup and he also recognized as one of the youngest player who makes his debut in this tournament in the history after Pele
Newcastle is likely to surprise us in the transfer market, although so far there has been no accurate information regarding player purchases. With Newcastle position that has won third place in the standings, this certainly encourages this club to further improve the players on the front lines. At least maybe next January there will be news of a player who has been on Newcastle's radar for a long time. The Premier League competition is getting tougher, and Newcastle's struggle to qualify is the motivation that a club as rich as them still deserves a famous player.

Jefferson Lerma and Enzo Fernandez are probably under the radar of Newcastle United. I am not sure about this news, but I can certainly say that with the money which Newcastle United have right now, they can pull off some interesting transfers.

And I also agree with @hyudien that Newcastle United is going to surprise us in the transfer market this time. I am quite sure that they are going to bring in some big names to the squad. A reason for that is they are currently in the third position on the table. This is a big chance for them to prove that they are also a worthy competitor in the English Premier League.

1976  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin Destroy Crap Altcoins? on: December 15, 2022, 08:39:33 AM
Crap altcoins will continue to exist because someone out there will always buy and sell or use them. Bitcoin's only relation to these altcoins is that the purchase of the latter needs the former because fiat is not the trading pair for each or them.

No crypto can be literally "destroyed" it is more like being "abandoned" and nobody is using it anymore. While new ones will continue to flood the market I doubt their number will reduce anytime soon. Because of the "get-rich-quick" screaming appearance of most of these altcoins at the start, the new investors will always buy them instead of going for bitcoin.

My view on bitcoin is that it is always profitable if bought at the low price. No such thing as dividend period or stable period here. Been watching for several years now and I know that the cycles continue if you watch closely.
No one can destroy altcoins, even with bitcoin, and the demand for altcoins will never go away, as long as people enter the market for profit and get rich quickly then altcoins will still survive. The only thing that can hold back altcoins might be government regulations, but if there are such regulations, investors like us will be in trouble even if we invest in bitcoin. Many people expect altcoins to die because they are so full of scams and trash, but I don't want that because if it's only bitcoin, it can't be called a market.
1977  Economy / Economics / Re: Russian Gas ban - A problem for Europe or suicide for Russia? on: December 15, 2022, 08:15:49 AM
As far as I could tell from the publicly available evidence, so far Europe has only been capable of substituting a small portion of the gas they have been importing from Russia. The only reason why they claim their storages are full (which I doubt that too considering the shortage and blackouts that are starting, but that's a different story) is that they significantly reduced consumption by shutting down industries. A de-industrialization so to speak.

Contrary to what you may think, in many countries the biggest consumers are not home users but the factories. When you shut them down, you decrease the consumption or "demand" by a lot so that you can manage the low "supply" you already have for home users. This is actually one of the reason why gas price came down slightly.

In my opinion, here it is necessary to take into account one circumstance.  

Man is a primate who has learned to solve all the problems that arise before him.  Yes, the solution of the problem may take some time, but it is safe to say that sooner or later the problem will be solved.  

At present, Russia is trying to create problems for Europe, forgetting that Europe for Russia is a buyer, a client and a source of income.  Buyers (customers) need to be taken care of, not create problems for them.  

If you create problems for your customers, you will soon find yourself in a situation where you yourself will have big problems.

Is Russia causing trouble for the EU or is the EU trying to cause trouble for Russia?
What you say is true in business, a business needs customers to make a profit. But if sales don't turn a profit or customers become too unlikeable, then as a business capable of producing products, we have more than enough power to find better customers.

Back to the EU and Russia, I don't believe the EU will find a cheap and quality gas source like Russia, the EU knows that, and they don't want to lose this lucrative supply. But unfortunately, the gas pipeline has a problem, and they have no choice but to suspend gas imports from Russia (partly because they have also filled up their gas storage for this year). On the Russian side, they are turning to Asia, although there will be initial difficulties, it shows that Russian gas is needed by many other countries, not just the EU. India and China alone, the world's two most populous countries, have been able to fill the void left by the EU.


I am a supporter of the state being run by merchants, not warriors.  

Gas pipelines should bring income to Russia, and the funds received should be directed to the acquisition of technologies and the development of complex technological industries in the country.  I believe that gas pipelines should not be used for political blackmail.  And even if you are provoked to such actions, then you cannot succumb to such provocations.  

Unlike warriors, merchants do not divide customers into good and bad.  From the trader's point of view, customers are divided into solvent and insolvent.  

Russia was wrong to turn gas into a political weapon, but who was the first provocateur, who froze Russia's foreign exchange reserves in European banks, confiscating billions of dollars worth of billionaires' assets Russia?...What I find most humiliating for the west is that they even banned the Russian football team from the WC, football is considered a sport that is not politicized, and there are thousands of crap bans they impose on Russia. I believe they have run out of options to punish Russia.
If someone attacked you, would you stand still and let them hit you, or would you find a way to attack them back?
1978  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: December 12, 2022, 02:40:05 PM
I was very surprised to see the batting of the Indian women's team against the Australian bowlers. Australia Women's bowling line-up is one of the strongest bowling line-ups in women's cricket. It was not easy to score 187 runs against them. After Australia set a target of 188 I was sure they would win this match like the first match. But the Indian opener Smriti Mandhana's excellent batting managed to draw the match. Smriti Mandhana scored 79 runs off just 49 balls. Slowly the Indian women's team is improving. In the future, they will play to win the Women's World Cup.
This Indian W team has been performing pretty well since 2017-18 and only team to challenge Australian W dominance in Women's cricket.

These girls are famous to break Aussie winning streak from time to time, they did it in 2017-18 ODI WC and last night they repeated the same. This is 1st T-20 loss for AUSW team in 2022, you can imagine how dominating they are.

The crowd is responding amazingly to Women's cricket in India. It was full house last night (tickets were free for Women) and at Hotstar live viewers crossed 1 million. This is a bilateral series which came at the right time, credit goes to BCCI for their strategy and both teams for putting up a good show for the spectators. I firmly believe it'll hype WIPL.

I can honestly say that Indian women are improving in cricket, and that is probably a big reason why they are being in a position to pull so much support right now. And the last match of the Indian women’s team against the Australian women’s team was absolutely unbelievable. I didn't think they would be able to do it, at least. But the way they started playing in the super over made me believe in India again. And they have been able to achieve this very difficult win.

Things are looking really promising, and I think popularity is going to be favorable for the women’s IPL. India performing so well against the Australian team is also going to be a positive step into the women’s IPL.

As far as I could tell from the publicly available evidence, so far Europe has only been capable of substituting a small portion of the gas they have been importing from Russia. The only reason why they claim their storages are full (which I doubt that too considering the shortage and blackouts that are starting, but that's a different story) is that they significantly reduced consumption by shutting down industries. A de-industrialization so to speak.

Contrary to what you may think, in many countries the biggest consumers are not home users but the factories. When you shut them down, you decrease the consumption or "demand" by a lot so that you can manage the low "supply" you already have for home users. This is actually one of the reason why gas price came down slightly.

In my opinion, here it is necessary to take into account one circumstance. 

Man is a primate who has learned to solve all the problems that arise before him.  Yes, the solution of the problem may take some time, but it is safe to say that sooner or later the problem will be solved. 

At present, Russia is trying to create problems for Europe, forgetting that Europe for Russia is a buyer, a client and a source of income.  Buyers (customers) need to be taken care of, not create problems for them. 

If you create problems for your customers, you will soon find yourself in a situation where you yourself will have big problems.

Is Russia causing trouble for the EU or is the EU trying to cause trouble for Russia?
What you say is true in business, a business needs customers to make a profit. But if sales don't turn a profit or customers become too unlikeable, then as a business capable of producing products, we have more than enough power to find better customers.

Back to the EU and Russia, I don't believe the EU will find a cheap and quality gas source like Russia, the EU knows that, and they don't want to lose this lucrative supply. But unfortunately, the gas pipeline has a problem, and they have no choice but to suspend gas imports from Russia (partly because they have also filled up their gas storage for this year). On the Russian side, they are turning to Asia, although there will be initial difficulties, it shows that Russian gas is needed by many other countries, not just the EU. India and China alone, the world's two most populous countries, have been able to fill the void left by the EU.

If $100.000 is just for investment and i don't need that money, i would definitely invest in Bitcoin. Yes fixed interest rate and risk free investment may be attractive for everyone but there is no situation to double their investment. I take the risks that may arise by investing in Bitcoin. But the possibility of my btc investment to grow in a short time excites me more. On the contrary, if my assets decrease, i will not be upset because there will be an amount that I do not need. The idea of ​​fixed income is not for me there are always risks in my investment. But i do not make risky investments with my last balance.
It's not a small amount, but if it's free and, in case of loss, it doesn't affect my life or other expenses, then I would also risk investing it all in bitcoin. If unfortunately, bitcoin can't rise again, I will lose nothing but if bitcoin hits 100k or 500k in the future I will become rich, then it's worth the trade-off. But if that's all I have, I will only invest 40% in bitcoin and 30% in other assets, the remaining 30% will be put in the bank.
