Crypto analysis: BTC staying above $67,000 but still in threat to fall back 16% from current price
People need to use available chart, look backwards to see history of Bitcoin market cycles and how it performed in previous halvings and previous bull markets.

How many months does it take for Bitcoin to actually warm up enough and start its big bullish curve in previous cycles?

This will give people who are uncertain about next market trend, a very solid and insightful information that can help them to make their investment plan and avoid being unnecessary panic and shake their bitcoins to whales.

Previous cycles, the market takes Bitcoin about 9 months or 1 year after its halving to jump to a Euphoria phase.

It can't really happen, it wouldn't be a real note at least because Bitcoin works with addresses and private keys. You need to know the private key in order to be able to use the funds of the address. But if you print the private key onto the note anyone will be able to see it and to access the funds whenever they want. So the note would have to be very special using sophisticated mechanisms, most elaborated than current Bitcoin collectibles at least, otherwise it wouldn't be real Bitcoins, just some paper money you need to trust.
It is unrealistic idea because the core idea from Satoshi Nakamoto is with private keys, people will have their own Bitcoin banks.

Now, if there are entities like Collectible companies/ producers, central banks or commercial banks, to create private keys and release Bitcoin notes, it damages that core idea of Satoshi Nakamoto and it is very risky to use too.

The Collectible companies or banks will have private keys and they are actually owners of these coins, not anyone who have a Bitcoin note in hands.

Sure, Leverkusen still has 2 finals, Europa league final and DFB Pokal final. I think it is easy for Leverkusen to win DFB Pokal final match because they will play against FCK. It is a small team from second competition in German. The challenge will be in the final of Europa league, it won't be easy to fight with Atalanta. Atalanta also showed great improvement in this seaosn, they have great motivation to win Europa league trophy. This will be an interesting match but I believe Leverkusen can win the trophy, too.
In Dublin, Leverkusen will play against Atalanta that are an energetic and ambitious team too. Assum Leverkusen will beat FCK in DFB Pokal match and win that title, their second title this season, their final match will Atalanta will decide they will become an unbeaten treble winner in this season or not.

Bayern Munich are one of barely seen clubs can win three titles in a single season but become a treble winner and with unbeaten season in all competitions, damn it is a first time ever.

Atalanta have their own amazing season too and they are competitive and challenging enough to break the perfect season of Leverkusen.

Both Arsenal and Manchester City gonna win their respective games today. I won't say that Everton and West Ham United are easy teams but gunners and citizens situation is very complicated and a slip will cause a harmful damage for one or another.
West Ham are quite good in general and they have to focus the whole game before losing their three points. Manchester City in particular didn't lose against West Ham
It is logic and reasonable to predict that both Arsenal and Manchester City will win their matches but if these matches end like this, Premier League title will go to hands of Manchester City again. It's boring ending and I really wish that there will be surprise from West Ham. They are weaker and have small chance to avoid a loss but if they find own reasons for fighting and play well enough, chance will come for both West Ham and Arsenal.

If Arsenal or Manchester City make mistake it could be very costly especially since top teams in Premier League are so close together. Manchester City has had some tough games against West Ham United recently which makes today game even more interesting. It is going to be great day of soccer.
I only expect Manchester City to make mistake and lose points because if Arsenal make mistakes, there is nothing interesting for the title race between Arsenal and Manchester City. What I really want to see is a new champion, to break domination of Manchester City in Premier League last 6 years.

Both Leverkusen and Atalanta are having peak forms lately. Atalanta is having a long winning streak that gives them a big chance to play in Champions League next season, and Leverkusen is in a high morale to make a historical achievement in all competitions.
Atalanta with 6 points above Roma when Serie A has only 2 match days, nearly get a last spot of Serie A to Champions League. It's unbelievable if they lose last two matches and with big defeat results to pass that spot to Roma. They only need one more point from two remaining matches to join Champions League next season.

Quote
The Europa League final match will provide an exciting game where the winner will have a historical mark in their respective history.

Both of the coaches, Xabi Alonso and Gian Piero Gasperini, have proven to be a great tacticians in their respective club. Gasperini seems to have the season in his managerial career by potentially finishing top four, reaching Copa Italia final and Europa League final. Alonso is having a remarkable season in the first season of his managerial career. The match of this two coaches will be an exciting battle for football enthusiasts.
Gasperini according to rumor, will leave Atatanta and join Napoli after this season, and this Europa League final will be a chance for him to win a big title with Atalanta where he spend several years to build up a strong squad for them. After some impressive seasons in Bergamo, it will be a perfect goodbye if Gasperini can lift Europa League trophy in coming days.

Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen are aiming at three titles and they will not want to lose at very ending of season and also lose two more titles. Xabi is already recognized as a talented young coach but titles surely have their meanings.

Dortmund's defensive performance in the Champions League is really impressive recently. I will give you that. But against PSG, luck was also right beside them. You would remember how many shots of PSG hit the post in total in both legs. I don't know whether Dortmund would manage to keep Real Madrid out from scoring against them as well.  Huh
The strong defense of Dortmund is a big red flag for Real Madrid before the final match and we should not ignore another factor, luck, which stays with Dortmund in their journey so far.

It is unfair to say Dortmund go to the final match solely because of luck but it's one of things that bring them to the final match. We don't know this season is for Real Madrid or Dortmund but Dortmund have to fight by themselves with belief that they will be another Porto or Greece that won big titles like Champions League and Euro in 2004, twenty years ago.

Yes, there are only two matches left, but Juventus does not intend to wait until the two matches are finished before severing its relationship with the coach, and his position will be temporarily replaced by Paolo Montero, before the club officially announces their new coach, and because two matches is not so important for Juventus so this change should not have any impact.
https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1791496299264516527
Juventus saw that the season is already completed for them with Coppa Italia cup and in Serie A, they will be one of representative of Serie A in Champions League. With remaining match, they won't have too clear target to achieve and announce to terminate their contract with Max Allegri can help them to clean rumor about the coach position and future of Max Allegri in Turin.

There is no information on a next coach of Juventus but I hope they will pick a good coach for a next season and will not look at this big decision with regret. Generally, Max Allegri did good management for Juventus during one of most chaotic period in the club last two decades since Calciopoli 2006.

Yea, I noticed that they forum is more enjoyable and less straining the eyes when you login with the desktop. It seems the website was built based on Desktop first responsiveness. But these days, the number mobile users to visit any website is far bigger than desktop users. Maybe it is time to make the software more mobile friendly. However, if you have used the system on mobile for a long time, you actually might not notice any difference or difficult in using the mobile version.
In 2009 or 2010, there were less smart phones and mobile devices like in 2024 and you are right that the forum was not designed for mobile years ago.

Furthermore, as a forum for discussions in text, it's a text-based platform and you will have more convenience when reading it on a big screen like desktop computer or laptop than on your mobile devices with smaller screens.

It is time saving when you read threads, posts on bigger screens or typing your reply on computer or laptop, with less chance for typos. Reading on mobile is comfortable but typing on mobile is terrible experience, this what I feel.

I think home fans pushed them to win today  Tongue
I am sad to see Newcastle losing against Man United today, they missed a good chance on finishing in six place on the table Sad
But they still have great looking shirt and Sportsbet is running giveaway on Instagram for 3 signed shirts from Bruno Guimarães, Joelinton, and Fabian Schar!
If you have instagram account you should try your luck now, follow simple rules and wait until 20th of May for winners to be selected.

It will be great for Newcastle United if they can end this season above Chelsea and only under Tottenham Hotspur, to be qualified as one of representative clubs of Premier League in UEFA Europa League 2024 - 2025 season.

They have same total points like Chelsea but with worse goal difference and will need to win their last match and also need Chelsea to lose points, to get the sixth position. If they get that position, this will heal their pain after knocked out in Champions League after the group stage with some impressive matches.

They did not start this season with plan to get a position for Europa League, but for Champions League. Anyway, it won't be too bad if they will play in Europa League next season and they actually learned something valuable from their experience this season. Playing in Champions League is interesting but also very stressful and can affect their performances in Premier League.
30  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: May 17, 2024, 01:53:07 AM
PSG is still having difficulty winning the UCL even after the club owner spent a lot of money. I think winning the UCL is the biggest challenge and money can't give you the UCL. PSG must look for chemistry between players, officials, club management and coaches to form a solid squad, and not just how many star players you have.
PSG can do it better with better strategies that can learn from Manchester City. They are both very rich clubs with abundant money for player transfers and salary but they have different strategies. Recent years, we can see Manchester City gained more success than PSG and dominate Premier League is more impressive than dominate Ligue 1. Moreover they already won one Champions League title last season and have more stable performances in Champions League than PSG.

This summer, Mbappe will leave PSG and he already announced it publicly on media. This summer will be another chance for PSG to continue their strategic change  last summer, to build up a team that does not rely on a single super star player. With Enrique on their coach position, if PSG gives him time and a long term development plan, I really believe Enrique will be able to bring Champions League trophy to Paris.

Obviously, Tuchel failed in his first season with Bayern Munich, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability to bring Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga trophy, he has actually succeeded in winning the most prestigious trophy in the Bundesliga with Chelsea.
Last season, Tuchel was hired after Bayern Munich went with a big decision to sack Nagelsman, not to help Bayern Munich to win Bundesliga but to win Champions League or go far in Champions League. He failed with a big task for Champions League and nearly failed in Bundesliga too if Musiala did not score a late goal for Bayern Munich.

Tuchel was very luckily to save his coach position of Bayern Munich after the last season ends.

Quote
This season's failure will be the most valuable lesson for him to face the heat of competition next season. He just needs time and support from club management, players and also loyal Bayern Munich supporters. It must be acknowledged that Bayern Munich's downturn this season was when the responsibility of the coach was in his hands, but it would be very unfair if Bayern Munich's failure was considered purely his fault in managing the club.
This season, he fails again in Champions League even Bayern Munich bought Harry Kane for him and worse lost Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen. I feel no reason to sympathize with Tuchel for his failures this season. Believe in him for one more season, I don't know if Bayern Munich will expand their patience and give him one more season to prove his ability.

Yep. It will be less risky as long as newbies use small funds.
Newbies can have big or small capital but the advice is newbies should use small part of their capital to start. It's always easily to lose when a newbie begins in either investment or trading. Investment is less risky than trading but there is still risk to lose money like don't know how to back up a wallet or recover a wallet, carelessness when typing address for a transaction and scam risk.

Start to learn and practice with small part of capital is a safe approach for all newbies.

Both trading and investing are risky. If trading isn't for newbies, how newbies can start trading? I think it is no problem to start trading although we are still newbies. But we must ensure that we learn and understand the basic things about trading firstly. The key point is to have sufficient knowledge first before starting trading.  Wink
Newbies can start trading any time but I meant it's safer if newbies begin with investment, experience the market with investment and after months or one to two years, with enough experience and understanding about the market, newbies can start trading. It reduces risk of loss in trading for newbies.

Bitcoin is just an investment asset like many other assets like gold or real estate, and whether you win or lose investing in it depends on you, not on bitcoin. You will still lose money, even lose all your money when investing in bitcoin if you only invest according to others and have no knowledge about it. Bitcoin is not responsible for ensuring your safety or profit, it all depends on your ability.
Only the losers will blame their losses and mistakes in investment or trading to any asset. The winners think different and they are responsible for their strategies in trading, investment and their decisions so they don't blame their loss on Bitcoin. If they get loss, they will sit down, analyze what they did to cause the loss and will try to adjust their strategy to do better in future.

Quote
In the long term, bitcoin will always increase in price, however there will be unpredictable fluctuations in the short and medium term, and without knowledge you will not be able to face and overcome those challenges. Don't be naive that investing in bitcoin will never lose money.
So far through 15 years since 2009, Bitcoin has very high impressive ROI and I believe it will continue to be one of best investment asset in future, especially against global inflation problems from governments and central banks.

Almost everyone on the forum said the same thing, that Real Madrid is the favorite to win this season except Dortmund fans. Dortmund went through a quite crucial phase and they won in a way that was not easy.
Real Madrid are favorite because they are stronger, more successful in Champions League than Dortmund. They have more star players than Dortmund and consider many factors from coach to player, and club history, Real Madrid deserve to have bigger fan community than Dortmund too.

Though, this is true in community's thinking and support skewed towards Real Madrid, Dortmund will not lose the final match because of Real Madrid's fans support. They, as players, will play mainly against Real Madrid players, on field and winner, loser will be decided by performances on field, not fan support at the stadium.

Quote
If you want to see before reaching the final, it could be said that Real Madrid was also lucky because they managed to beat Manchester City on penalties.
Real Madrid's strength lies in mental readiness and experience, these two things will be weapons for them to beat Dortmund. But even so, Dortmund cannot be underestimated because they have come this far also because of hard work and team solidarity.
Real Madrid are experienced to know that if they are careless, Dortmund will be able to make big surprise and win the title. They will play the final carefully and minimize chance of Dortmund to make any shock. I love surprising beauty in soccer but I see small chance for Dortmund in the final match.

Why should a newbie who is new into crypto go for trading instead of investing. It is a norm that traders are bound to run at loss even as professionals, when they make a little mistake in their decisions when trading. Trading is very risky and should not be seen as something anyone can make money from easily.
Newbies need to start with things that are less risky but safer and more easily to control.

With this principle, let's see trading and investment. I am sure investment is less risky, safer than trading and it's my recommendation for newbies. Trading is risky and it's not for newbies in this volatile market. High risk high return will be saying newbies hear a lot but if they follow this, go with trading, their endings will mainly losses, not profit and their capital will vanish with time.

In regards to what you've just explained, you mean the majority of developers needs to agree on that idea or upgrade before it can be implemented?. Due to human natural way of opposition, what then happens if the proposal is rejected by the majority but the project seems helpful to the Bitcoin protocol?.
It is not only developers but the Bitcoin community will play main role to vote and support or against a BIP.

There's really so much more to Bitcoin than buy, hodl and sale, if any bitcoiner that wants to go further into it's technicalities, then it requires learning it like a course in a higher institution.
Bitcoin is more than a Peer-to-Peer electronic cash. It is more than an investment asset because Bitcoin has many use cases and how a person uses it, it is personal choice and can be different a lot among us.

There are developers, who have deep knowledge about Bitcoin code lines and can code but there are people who only want to learn more technical things about Bitcoin, by curiosity or by intention to become Bitcoin developers in future. Or they just learn technically to understand more about Bitcoin, to build up their belief in Bitcoin.

I see more of success stories of bitcoin, like how people invest bitcoin for their parents,  uncles,  and themselves to make fine profit. These stories are very interesting one and good to listen of what bitcoin has done for people but it makes me wonder if people don't have stories of failure about bitcoin.
You never know their stories are true or they only imagined interesting untrue stories and share them here.

In the real life I see people who talk about their failed investment because of not having the right knowledge.  But here everyone talks about success stories and it makes me wonder if people are shy to talk about their failures, it can also help other people to learn. Learning is not just about from successful investment.
I am more interested in failure stories because I can learn from their mistakes and sit back to see what I do the same but luckily enough to don't have any loss or big loss so far. Luck will not stay with me forever and I need to change myself to avoid big losses like their failure stories.

Sharing successful stories is risky because it increases risk of physical attacks.

If Dortmund's luck is with them, they can beat Real Madrid and qualify for the title, but performance-wise, they can never beat Real Madrid.
Dortmund have to prepare well in tactics with multiple tactics for possible changes in the final match, then when they go to play the final, they have to fight seriously for chance to win the match. Luck is important but it won't come if Dortmund won't seriously play to defend their goalkeeper and to find winning goal.

Quote
Because of Real Madrid's performance from the start and their strong star-studded squad, they are not easy to beat when they enter the final. If Dortmund play according to their current performance, they will never be able to match Real Madrid.
Real Madrid are stronger and more experienced than Dortmund but with some shocks created by Dortmund in this season, they are actually coming nearly to a happy ending for an underdog. Real Madrid must analyze the adventure of Dortmund in Champions League so far and figure out what are weaknesses of opponent to exploit it in the final match.

Dortmund don't have to fear anything about Real Madrid, at the final match, they must be confident in themselves and take advantage of any chance to win it.

Anyone can see something not perfect in Bitcoin, sit down and code but to change Bitcoin protocol, that Bitcoin Improvement Proposal will need to be voted by Bitcoin miners, Bitcoin nodes.

This shows decentralization of Bitcoin project, its protocol, blockchain can not be changed by a single person. Nowadays even Satoshi Nakamoto returns and want to change something, he can not do it only by himself.

The Blocksize War: The battle over who controls Bitcoin’s protocol rules is a good book for reading.

Very true, it's very important to understand crypto before investing any money in it, without proper knowledge one will only lose money in crypto. There have been so many scam projects in crypto world and we can't stop those but when you do your own research and understand crypto then you can earn some good profits with it.
Before starting with actual money for investment, people must learn and are able to see differences between Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies (altcoins) and see which one has lowest risk and which ones have bigger risks.

Bitcoin should always be a first cryptocurrency for a newbie to spend money in. Altcoins are very risky and it's not recommendable to start investment directly with altcoins. It's more easily to lose money with investment in altcoins than with investment in Bitcoin.
