Manchester City and Tottenham are playing very carefully in this match. I think in the second half Guardiola will make a big change in his match strategy and play completely attacking strategy. Because this is a do or die match for Manchester City. If Manchester City do not win this match, Arsenal have more chances to win the title.
In the second half we saw a change in Manchester City's gameplay. And since the beginning of the second half, Manchester City players have been playing attacking strategy. With the help of Guardiola's mastermind, City managed to score a goal in just 6 minutes. Haaland scored from De Bruyne's pass. Manchester City now lead 1-0. I wouldn't say that Tottenham's players played badly in the second half. However, Manchester City's defense is very strong. I don't think Tottenham will be able to break this defence. My guess is Manchester City will win the match 1-0. |

Both GT and LSG ended their playoffs qualification streak in this season. We now have SRH, CSK and RCB fighting it out for the remaining 2 spots. All eyes on the NRR.
The equation is interesting now. I would like to keep SRH and CSK ahead for the playoff journey. Hyderabad might end the group stage round by being in top 2. I'm expecting them to win the next two matches. RCB vs CSK match will be like a final, but in group stage match. RCB will qualify for the final if they can manage to win the match by an average margin. RCB has made a great comeback in this season. They might regret for losing the 8th match by 1 run only against Kolkata. I don't think LSG have any chance of qualifying for the next round anymore. LSG team could not win today's match against Delhi. A win in this match would have given LSG a great chance to qualify for the next round. Now I would say a team between Chennai and Bengaluru will qualify for the next round. Chennai is 2 points ahead of Bengaluru. However, if Chennai cannot defeat the Bengaluru team in the last match, the chances of Chennai qualifying for the next round are slim. However, if Chennai lose by a narrow margin, Hyderabad and Chennai might qualify for the next round. |

~snip~ Bitcoin long term I would say risk is very LOW & reward is very HIGH!!! The future is unpredictable and no one knows what will happen so I don't have proof for you but I will disagree that in the long run bitcoin is low risk but will bring very high returns. For me everything is proportional to each other, the higher the profit, the higher the risk and vice versa, low risk will bring low profit. Bitcoin is no exception. I also invest in bitcoin and really want it to be a huge success because I also benefit from it, but it cannot be overstated that bitcoin is safe and highly profitable. Don't forget the golden rule that we repeat every day "only invest what you can lose" |

Regarding bitcoin, many people even consider bitcoin as a speculative asset, and if bitcoin is included in education and taught to children how to invest. It's like we're encouraging them to gamble from an early age. This idea is really bad.
How is investing bad? How is it gambling when we teach kids about banks and etc. it is simply just a currency that is held digitally. Obviously we will make the education appropriate to the age of the kids. We wouldn’t be teaching 6 year olds about investment. But we would open their eyes to the world of digital money. This is our future and there is nothing wrong with it. It would be great if someone seriously taught children bitcoin as a currency and not as a get-rich-quick investment like it is currently happening. And I want to know how you will teach your children when you yourself are looking at bitcoin as an investment with the mindset of getting rich from it, not as a currency. But I will support you if you are aware that bitcoin should not be taught to young children, because many people even have the idea of teaching their children about bitcoin investment when they don't even know how to add, subtract and multiply basic. Investing in bitcoin is not bad, if it was bad I wouldn't invest in bitcoin but bringing bitcoin investment into education is a bad idea, IMO. |

Bitcoin as a core subject? Well in my opinion I would say cryptography as a core subject rather. Then students or pupils will be able to get a proper understanding of how the crypto space works especially in the case of Bitcoin. For some time now some schools already offer such subjects to their students however most of the time as a branch under one of their networking or programming subjects. I think if it was a full subject it should be divided into cryptographic programming and crypto economics.
I want to echo your words. Bitcoin is just one cryptocurrency. Instead of explaining how Bitcoin works, they should teach how cryptography and blockchain technology work. Also, it is advised to teach the importance of privacy. Now, let them decide if they want to know more about Bitcoin. In my country, the government introduced a new subject named ICT back in 2013, and it's one of the mandatory subjects for the 6th grade. Unfortunately, they don't teach about cryptography in ICT classes. Instead, they start CSS, HTML, understanding binary, and other things like that. I did not have a chance to check the higher grades books. But I hope they have included cryptography and blockchain technology as well. I also support that the Ministry of Education should include cryptography and blockchain technology in the curriculum because this is the technology of the future. Regarding privacy, I don't think it will be included in education and popularization because it goes against government policy. Teaching and encouraging people to improve their privacy is no different than spreading anti-government sentiment. I believe the government will never allow this to happen. Regarding bitcoin, many people even consider bitcoin as a speculative asset, and if bitcoin is included in education and taught to children how to invest. It's like we're encouraging them to gamble from an early age. This idea is really bad. |

it's no longer called risk if we can already detect the outcome of the action.
I disagree. Risks are anything that involves danger but this does not mean we can not foresee or expect the situation. Risks can be avoided if we calculate our actions well and make the right decisions. We just have to be prepared and prevent from going forward with these risk scenarios. In crypto, knowledge will get you anywhere. Knowledge is one thing, forecasting the future is another one. There are many things that happen out of the blue, and there is no time to react, just look what happened with Covid or the recent wars in Russia and Palestine, the markets just go down, how many people can react super quickly to that kind of events? There is always an unknown factor, knowledge alone is not enough, even fortune plays a role. We can only minimize risks with some pre-prepared contingency plans, but we cannot say that we can anticipate and avoid all risks. No one has a crystal ball to predict the future, especially in a volatile, manipulation-filled market like cryptocurrency, the risks are multiplied. It is true that knowledge is the key that leads us to success, but having knowledge does not mean that we will definitely succeed. Having complete knowledge only increases our odds of success, without any guarantees. I agree with you, there need to be many factors combined to bring us success, and knowledge alone is not enough and sometimes luck will play a more important role. |

Stuttgart have got ahead of Bayern Munich after the recent win. Bayern Munich haven't played their game on this week yet though. But I just admire Stuttgart's rise in the standings this season. Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso deserve to be discussed the most but Stuttgart also deserve the appreciation for their success.  The top scorer Guirassy (26 goals) is quite likely to leave the team this summer. I'm saying it because of his release clause especially. It is only 17.5 million euros. It is really like a joke right?  I think he would be signed by one of bigger European teams. Stuttgart are joining the Champions League but it wouldn't be easy to convince him to stay in case of getting an offer from an attracting team. I thought Stuttgart would be able to score more goals in this match. but I think it is fine as long as they get the three points that are needed. And now even though Stuttgart has played one match more compared to Bayern Munich, they are actually in the second position and one point ahead of Bayern Munich. Of course, if Bayern Munich is able to win the next match, which they should be able to, they are going to be back in the second position. Even a draw is going to be good enough for Bayern Munich. Because they have a good goal difference. So they are going to be ahead in terms of goal difference even though they have the same points with Stuttgart. But I do not think they will be willing to take that. Because being on the same point and just being ahead on call difference is definitely something that is not stable and that leaves no room for error at all. |

Bitcoin's recent price decline can be attributed to a combination of economic uncertainty, regulatory concerns, and market sentiment. Factors such as inflation fears, cautious remarks from Federal Reserve officials, and regulatory uncertainties have led to a sell-off in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Market sentiment and investor behavior also play a significant role in driving price fluctuations. Despite short-term volatility, long-term fundamentals, including adoption and institutional interest, remain bullish for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market.
Do you think these are the reasons?
My reason is that after 7 months of continuous increases, bitcoin's correction is necessary and is a healthy correction but nothing serious has happened yet. For me, macro news like inflation, war, interest rates... will have an impact on bitcoin but things don't always work out that way. Sometimes news is just used as an excuse to legitimize price action and manipulation by market makers, rather than having any real impact. So don't be too engrossed and follow the news every time the market fluctuates, sometimes it's just a trap set by market makers to make us panic and sell cheap bitcoin to them. |

I guess that's what they wanted to do with El Salvador right? You had to open a wallet, but it was using a government app or something. So they knew everybody who used bitcoin and exactly when where etc.
I can wonder though if BTC network will handle even a small country.
We are aiming for adoption all around the world but is there a way to somehow not sacrifice our privacy in the process? Bitcoin is decentralized by nature and we don’t want to lose its essence. I should have known that any government would not allow bitcoin to be fully decentralized and would still want to have some sense of control over their citizens and bitcoin. We live in a world controlled by the government and anything that wants to become popular and widely adopted needs their permission. So I think there will be no way for bitcoin to become popular without their permission. I have also said many times before that if we want bitcoin to be popular and used worldwide, the price we have to pay will be managed and regulated by the government. But many people underestimate the power of government, and believe that bitcoin is decentralized and has unparalleled power. No one can ban or stop the popularity of bitcoin, but see how even small government bans make it difficult for us to use bitcoin. And just think, if the government issues a complete ban, how can we spread and popularize bitcoin to everyone. How many people would dare to go against the government and secretly use bitcoin if they actually banned it? |

Pakistan vs Ireland
Pakistan cricket is going through tough times now. A few days ago we saw the team fail to win the series against the second tier team from New Zealand. The series was tied at 2-2. Almost every Pakistani player's performance against New Zealand was erratic. So we thought maybe Pakistan can perform well against Ireland. But we don't see any improvement in Pakistan's performance.
Pakistan lost against Ireland. I still have a hard time believing this result. Pakistan cricket has degraded so much!!
Pakistan set a target of 183 runs today. It was a big enough target. But we don't see good bowling from Pakistani bowlers. Andy Balbirnie scored 77 runs off 55 balls. Also the batting of tector, Dockrell and Campher was quite good. I do not expect a good performance from Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Gujarat Titans opener Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan are batting very well as they are batting with responsibility if they bat like this then these two batsmen can be very dangerous for Chennai Super Kings so Super Kings bowlers should get these two batsmen out very quickly otherwise. They will target Chennai Super Kings with big runs. Shubman Gill is unbeaten with 39 from 20 balls and Sai Sudharsan is 52 from 31 balls. Gujarat Titans current score is 95 runs for 0 wickets in nine overs. If they can bat, maybe Chennai Super Kings will give a target of 200 plus runs. If Chennai Super Kings are given a target of 200 plus runs then it will be very difficult for Chennai Super Kings to win the match so it will be very quick to pick up wickets very quickly to stop their run cycle.
Chennai bowlers are not doing well against Gujarat today. Gujarat's two openers are on a batting rampage today. Chennai's bowlers could not take a single wicket in 14 overs. Gujarat team collected 179 runs in 14 overs. Gujarat's two batsmen collected an average of around 13 runs per over. Sai Sudarsan remained unbeaten with 40-ball 85 and Shubman Gill with 44-ball 92. If Chennai's bowlers fail to pick up quick wickets, Gujarat will easily set a target of 260+ today. I have not seen such bad bowling by Chennai in this year's IPL. Also Chennai's fielding is not good enough today. Mitchel Sartner gave 31 runs in 2 overs and Samarjeet 35 runs in 2 overs. Only Sardul Thakur conceded 14 runs in 2 overs. Besides, every bowler is bowling badly today. The way Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan are batting against Chennai Super Kings, it seems that these two batsmen will score centuries. In today's match, the bowlers of Chennai Super Kings are helpless to perform against the batsmen of Gujarat Titans. The way Gujarat Titans opener pair is batting, it seems that they want to target Chennai Super Kings in a big way. I definitely support chennai super kings today I feel really bad seeing the performance of chennai super kings bowlers and especially I remember mostafizur rahman if mostafiz can play today's match then chennai super kings will have good success. Gujarat Titans It looks like Chennai Super Kings can give a target of 230 runs if that is how they play the game. Shubman Gill scored 90 runs from 44 balls and Sai Sudharsan is unbeaten with 93 runs from 45 balls. Gujarat Titans current score is 190 runs for 0 wickets with 15 overs to play. When it's time to dive into the shore, the Gujarat players are looking to make a comeback and maybe they will succeed in that effort today against Chennai Super Kings. Two opening batsmen of Gujarat Titans team are playing incredibly today, both of them are very close to century. Both Shubman Gill and Sai Sudarshan are at par at the moment i.e. both are unbeaten on 96 off 48 balls. Shubman Gill may not have been included in India's World Cup squad but his impeccable batting performance in this match today proved once again that he is a good batsman. Gujarat team's total of 196 runs in 16 overs against Chennai Super Kings is probably a record so far in 2024 IPL. If Gujarat's two opening batsmen complete 20 overs today, it will also be another record. The way Gujarat batsmen are batting let's see how far they can go in the end. Due to the responsible batting of the two openers of Gujarat Titans, the team set a huge target of 232 runs today. Two openers scored centuries. And Gujarat team managed to collect 210 runs from the opening pair. On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings started their innings with a bang. The team lost three wickets in the first three overs. I don't expect better batting from Ajinkia Rahane. He is not in good form either. But I expected better batting from Raturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra. Ravindra scored 1 run and Gaikwad failed to add any runs to the scoreboard. Now Daryl Mitchell and Mooen Ali are batting very carefully.  Chennai collected only 43 runs in 6 overs of power play. Chennai must collect 189 runs in 14 overs to win. 189 off 84 balls is very difficult. Chennai must collect 13.5 runs per over. If Chennai's top order batted well today, Chennai would have been able to win today's match. All three top order batsmen could not bat well. Chennai lost three key batsmen very quickly. This is why Chennai's batting was very slow at the beginning of the innings. Chennai's collection in the first 6 overs was just 43 runs for the loss of 3 wickets. At the end of 16 overs, Chennai collected 162 runs with the loss of 5 wickets. The team needs to score 70 runs in the last 4 overs to win. Around 19 runs should be collected per over. Jadeja and Dube are batting well enough. But collecting 19 runs per over is a much tougher task. Chennai are likely to lose unless a miracle happens. |

Wages are not going down. In fact, there has been inflation around the world. It has taken a terrible form. Along with this, the increase in the price of goods has made public life more dangerous. People with low income are not able to adjust the expenditure with the income. Which makes their life low. For example Those who used to spend monthly with 500$ are now not able to get through the month on this budget. The problem is seen in almost every country in the world
Creating multiple income streams is the only solution for this because governments don't work to reduce inflation and the people of their countries are left to suffer, that's why, everyone will have to find ways for them to survive in such economic conditions. I know it's not easy because not everyone has got enough opportunities and abilities to be able to have multiple sources of income but we don't have a choice, do we? The world is turning into a place where only the rich can survive which is unfortunate. People who are not financially stable will always have a hard time living their lives because they will barely be able to earn enough money to fulfil the basic requirements of their household, savings and other stuff are impossible things for them. I agree with you, other than finding ways to create multiple sources of income, we have no better solution to fight inflation today. But blaming the government for not making efforts to reduce inflation is not correct, there are still many governments trying their best but sometimes it is beyond their control. How can small countries avoid inflation while big countries are trying to export inflation? In addition to domestic factors that cause inflation to increase, you also need to know that external factors also have a significant impact and are beyond the government's control. The rich will also face inflation if they cannot maintain their wealth, so they are also trying every day. And if we don't want to be eliminated or killed by inflation, we should try to rise up and not blame the rich and the poor here. Because no one prevents us from becoming rich, and whether we can become rich or not depends entirely on our bravery. |

But without money you cannot maintain your health. If you are sick and need a large amount of money for surgery and if you don't have money then how can you get healthy again? .
You look for cases which makes a change impossible, that is a manifestation of your mind not wanting to change. Many sicknesses can be avoided by eating green, little meat, little fish, a little sport and no unhealthy stress. Our mind is geared to avoid changes. Anything can happen, eating green, less meat, less fish and exercising can limit your illness, but it does not guarantee you will never get sick. Not to mention unexpected accidents and that's why there are so many topics about saving, and if you don't have money how will you save for emergencies? Not to mention, you only talk about yourself, you are ignoring your loved ones like your wife, children, and parents. If they get sick, what will you do to save them if you have no money? Maybe you're luckier than me in not being in that situation so you've never understood. |

I think it's interesting to talking about Mallorca because this team can able reach to the final match of Copa Del Rey but in Laliga Mallorca have to hard struggling to avoiding relegation zone and currently Mallorca collect 32 points from 34 matches and they have 6 points above to Cadiz and i know their position is not too under pressure but i think if want to avoiding relegation zone and survive at Laliga i think Mallorca should be able to bounce back immediatelly and return to the winning ways
Mathematially if want to survive in Laliga Mallorca at least have to gets 2 wins again and their next opponent is Las Palmas i think they can utilized this match to collect 3 points because Las Palmas conditions also is not really good because Las Palmas has been through an 10 latest matches without the winning result even weak team just Like Almeria can beat them
According to Mallorca records this season they can got 6 wins and 5 of those wins are from home matches even at home Mallorca can able to beat Girona and draw from Barcelona so these records is proven sometimes Mallorca can performing well at their home and beat their opponents and for this match too i think Mallorca have good chances to collect 3 points from this match and beat Las Palmas and i haven't checked the odds yet but i assume the bookmakers will give high odds for Mallorca win
The teams that are in the relegation zone right now in La Liga, are most probably not going to survive the relegation. Already there is a big difference in points between them. And I do not think that the teams that are in the relegation zone are going to suddenly perform well enough to actually get out of the relegation zone. Even if they perform well in one or two matches, they are not going to be consistent enough. I think the relegation zone is pretty much decided and also the top five positions are also pretty much decided as well in the La Liga. The assist position is the one for which teams are going to compete now. Real Betis and Real Sociedad are currently fighting for that sixth position. But of course, Real Sociedad is two points ahead of Real Betis. |

Not only on the forum but on other social networking platforms, bitcoin price predictions and bullish sentiment also seem to be gradually disappearing as the market is still in the adjustment phase. What I see is that people are no longer talking about bitcoin reaching $100k, instead they believe bitcoin will fall to $52k. And I think this is a good sign for the market because when people get bored and sell all their bitcoin, that's when the market gets pumped again.
Remember that this is a financial market and no one can get rich easily so when the crowd is at its most excited and Fomo we should be afraid. But when the crowd gradually gets bored and quits the game, that's when we become greedy, wealth has never been for the crowd. This is when I think people should be bullish instead of depressed.

In general, there is no one who doesn't want their life to always be filled with happiness, but I don't agree with the way you define money as being able to buy happiness. For me, your assumptions about money are very wrong, it's useless if you have large amounts of money but you are not healthy.
Health is an important aspect if you want to live a happy life. For me, health is the key to happiness in life, because when you are sick, the money you have cannot buy healing. Please make as much money as possible, but never forget your health.
But without money you cannot maintain your health. If you are sick and need a large amount of money for surgery and if you don't have money then how can you get healthy again? Additionally, if you don't have money, how can you maintain your health in the best condition? No money to buy clean, high-quality food, no money for regular health check-ups... how can you have a healthy body in a world full of chemicals? No matter how healthy we are, if we are not provided with adequate nutrients and eat good foods, our bodies will soon decline quickly. Therefore, there is nothing wrong when the OP says that money can buy happiness, buy health...buy everything. |

For me, the draw that Udinese played with Napoli yesterday night is a good result for Udinese. Napoli was the favorite to win against Udinese, but the match turned out to end in a draw. This draw will boost Udinese chances of escaping relegation if they can win two matches out of their three remaining matches in the league. A loss could have been bad for Udinese because it would have given them fewer chances to escape relegation this season.
Yeah the draw was indeed good for Udinese because right now they now have total of 30 points and even if they are on the relegation zone now they have chance of shifting away from the relegation if they are more consistent as their match against Napoli they will win all their remaining matches, however is still a little surprise to see that as strong as Napoli who is currently leading the 8 position of the table will be inconsistent to allow Udinese that is almost at the bottom of the table hold them to a draw when they actually had the opportunity of winning, it was actually bad for Napoli because they would have gotten a very close points with Lazio if they had win but now they are still far behind Lazio. For Udinese to be consistent enough to hold Napoli to a draw I will not be surprised if they win Empoli on their meeting because Empoli is also not in a good shape so perhaps considering their 2 points different if Udinese will be consistent enough to win them then they may likely move out from the relegation zone. Udinese is going to play against Lecce,Empoli and Frosinone in the next three matches that are remaining for them in this season. if we look at that, we will see they will play against the two teams that are right above them and if they are able to beat one of those teams, I think there is a great chance for them to actually get out of the relegation zone. And if they are able to beat both of them, it is obviously going to be an incredible result for Udinese. However, that is definitely going to be really hard. But I believe they have the capability to win at least one of them and avoid losses in the other two. That means five points for them. But it is going to be really good if they are able to beat either Empoli or Frosinone. That is going to give them the biggest chance of getting out of the relegation zone. And I think if they are capable of getting one point against Napoli, they are capable of winning against one of those two teams. |

Dortmund's biggest advantage is that they do not concede a goal. As you said, they did not panic and finished the match as they wanted. I congratulate Dortmund on this success. Even their reaching the final is a great success when compared to the squad quality of other teams.
I did say that there is a chance for Dortmund to actually go to the final of the Champions League. People honestly did not give them a chance because they thought PSG are going to win this even though they would have to overcome a deficit of one goal. Actually, I think it was bad luck for PSG. Because they hit the post six times almost and had a lot of shots. In the end, the finishing actually let them down. Having a total of 30 shots and only five of them being on target is not acceptable, to be honest. And on the other hand, Dortmund was able to score with the few chances that they have created. Dortmund winning the Champions League and Reus lifting the Champions trophy in the last match of him playing as a Dortmund player, this has suddenly become a lot more interesting. |

He reached the UCL final with Intermilan last season and is almost there again in the Europa League, im hoping that best of luck him. Lukaku is a good striker but sometims he can't even control is ego. He is still willing to play in the european competition. This is why he was trying to defend his position in the european club. He is an experienced striker and i hope he will get a new club asap.
It's better for Lukaku to join Saudi Pro League, if he continue to play in European team, he need to expect he will join mediocre team or second tier league. Any top tier teams will not want Lukaku since he can play for full time, become super-substitution and vulnerable against injuries. FYI, Lukaku was the reason why Milan lose against Manchester City. It's not right to blame inter Milan loss in the Champions league final on Lukaku. Yes he missed a goal, but he wasn't the only player on that pitch that missed a goal. Martinez missed more clear chances than Lukaku did. Anybody can miss a goal. Like it or not Lukaku is a top striker and he scored many goals that helped the club. Milan played against Manchester City which is a top team and they know what they are doing. Ederson is a world-class goal keeper. If not for his injury crisis Lukaku is a good finisher that can give his team up to 20 goals a season. Lukaku wasn't the reason why Milan lost to Manchester City, I won't accept that. Lukaku can still play in Europe in a good team. The only problem I have with him is his injury history. I find it funny that the blame for a team losing goes to a single player of the team. Of course, that should not be the case. He was not the only player playing. Yes, it is probably true that he should not be missing such chances at such a level. But I don’t think we can actually blame only one player. I also do not know how good it is to say that the team lost just because they were unable to have one person score. I don’t think just because he missed chances in a match, he should go to the Saudi league and accept that he cannot perform anywhere at the top level. That is just not right. But of course, the injury history is also a problem but that is a whole other topic in itself. Lukaku is definitely a good player and capable of performing well. Except for those "Lakaka" moments. |

Borussia Dortmund are aiming to reach their first UEFA Champions League final since 2013, as they would meet Paris-Saint Germain (PSG) for the semifinal second-leg game on tonight. Borussia Dortmund will play with the already-crowned Ligue 1 champions to defend their one-goal advantage, as the first leg beat 1-0.
Also, Borussia Dortmund claimed their only Champions League trophy in 1997, while Paris Saint-Germain losing the 2020 final to another German Bundesliga side, Bayern Munich, 1-0.
Dortmund's performance in the home match was very composed. Dortmund managed to perform well as they secured a narrow 1-0 victory. To be honest, I don't see a good performance from PSG players in the first leg. I expected better performance from PSG players. However, PSG's overall performance was a bit slow. PSG will definitely be looking to win today's home match. But Dortmund is not a weak team. Although Dortmund's performance in the Bundesliga has been erratic, Dortmund will try hard to qualify for the Champions League final. Since Dortmund won the first leg. Therefore, if today's match can be drawn, Dortmund will be able to qualify for the final. It will be very difficult for PSG players to break Dortmund's defense today. |
