Capital can be categorized into several types, such as cash and non cash capital, enthusiasm for running a business, basic knowledge and skills. I agree that if you want to get involved in any business you need capital, affiliate marketing business also requires capital such as skills and basic knowledge even though it doesn't depend too much on financial sources. Another capital needed to run this business is the ability to influence other people in making purchasing decisions regarding a product or service being promoted. This business also requires patience and hard work so that the products offered can be successfully accepted by consumers and have broader knowledge or understanding of the products or services offered.

I have read alot of comments from newbies complaining how they investment into bitcoin is at a lose or does not give them they desired result of achieving the financial freedom that bitcoin offers based on they short term wrong bitcoin mentality.
Most newbies are interested in investing in Bitcoin because of FOMO and wanting to get rich quickly. The profits obtained by other investors are their motivation to invest in Bitcoin even though they don't have the right knowledge on how to invest. The mistake that newbies often make when investing in Bitcoin is jumping straight into making decisions before having basic knowledge about crypto, this type of newbie is very easily carried away by the hype. Bitcoin investing is all about opportunity, you have to educate yourself to make a rational decision about what to do before jumping in headfirst.

Basically, about Xavi being willing to stay as Barcelona's head coach is not about being good for fans, but good for Barcelona's own finances . Because of course, if Xavi leaves then Barcelona will also spend a lot of money again to recruit a new coach. Because after all, at the same time Barcelona still needs to buy some players which of course Barcelona will still spend money in the transfer window later . Therefore, Xavi's stay clearly makes Barcelona's finances may remain a little good, but the news that Xavi chose to stay I am sure has nothing to do with fans, because fans also cannot do anything to make Xavi stay or leave.
Negotiations only involved club management and Xavi, fans were not involved in it at all. The agreement between both parties means that Xavi will extend his tenure as Barcelona coach next season. This agreement will certainly be very beneficial for Barcelona. This season's failure can be evaluated next season, Xavi certainly has several plans to face the heat of competition in different competitions next season.

Reshuffling the team is Xavi main focus, perhaps there will be several players who will be released to other clubs and there will also be quality players brought in. Xavi will try to provide something new for Barcelona next season that can entertain his fans. Winning the La Liga trophy and also the Champions League is still Xavi target with Barcelona.

I think Liverpool's poor performance at the moment is nothing but a snowball effect after their defeat to Atlanta in the Europa League, after the painful defeat to Atalanta, Liverpool seem to have no passion in playing and make them continue to slump like they are today, I think for now Liverpool have been out of the winning path because it looks like it will be difficult for them to catch Arsenal and Manchester City in the remaining games.

It would be a big mistake if the defeat at UEL made Liverpool lose enthusiasm while Liverpool could have had the opportunity to win the Premier League title because the points difference was very small.
Actually, I was also a little surprised that what I was worried about actually came true when Liverpool lost consistency and were unable to compete with Manchester City and Arsenal.
As I said at that time, whatever Liverpool will do, they will not be able to compete with Manchester City and Arsenal.
I don't know what is happening to Liverpool, supposedly, after being knocked out of the UEL makes them perform more consistently in the EPL to give competition to Arsenal and Man City in the Title race. Liverpool is starting to be three points behind Arsenal and their position in second place may be shifted to Manchester City, who have only played 32 games. The defeat to Everton means Liverpool is in danger of being eliminated from the title race, Arsenal and Man City will continue to fight harder in the remaining matches to win the EPL trophy, especially since both have also been eliminated from the UCL.

Rumors about who Barcelona coach will be next season are starting to get brighter, Xavi has agreed to stay at Barcelona after club officials agreed to his request to reshuffle the squad according to his wishes. Xavi stay as main coach is good news for Barcelona which is currently experiencing a financial crisis, the club can save on expenses because they no longer need to spend money to bring in a new coach.

I think Barcelona decision to keep Xavi was the right decision. During his leadership, many young players were promoted to the first team, Barcelona was able to save a lot of budget because several young players from La Masia managed to prove their quality and began to gain confidence in filling the main squad. This season, Barcelona has not won a single title, it is clear that Xavi has failed to lead Barcelona. But from a financial perspective, Barcelona has made a big profit because several young players have high release clauses, such as Lamine Yamal, who was brought in by PSG for €200 million.
207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 24, 2024, 12:53:14 PM
With the current form of Juventus, I hope that they will be able to win this competition, since they have advanced to the finals, due to their first leg victory of 2-0 at home. I think that this is the competition that Juventus wants to use to console themselves for losing out in the Seria A title competition with Inter. Atalanta and Fiorentina match is unpredictable to me, because both teams are ha ING a good performance recently, and I hope that Atalanta can give Fiorentina some surprises today at home.
The only trophy that Juventus is still likely to win is the Coppa Italia, I'm still not sure whether Juventus will be able to win it or not because in the second leg Lazio managed to break into their goal twice. Final matches always present high tension, the players will try to do their best to bring their team to win the trophy.

If they make it to the final, Fiorentina or Atalanta will play their best because they are also very ambitious about winning the title. Juventus defense has been in the spotlight this season, they often concede when facing weak teams, the 2-2 draw against Cagliari shows how weak Juventus' defense is. Allegri must focus more on his defense if he wants to win the only remaining trophy this season.

A big competition is going to happen between Barcelona and Girona. Girona is only two points behind Barcelona. And both of them have a match against each other. They are going to fight for the second position. I believe for both of the teams it actually means something to be the runner-up of the La Liga competition. For Barcelona, it means having some pride in finishing in the second position. For Girona, I believe finishing on the first three positions is already a big improvement. But finishing in the second position and finishing above Barcelona is something of an achievement in itself. But they will also have to win the other matches that are left for them. I don’t know if Girona will be able to be so consistent at this stage.
Consistent performance is the main stream behind Real Madrid sitting ontop and also in the semifinals in the UEFA Champions League. We know Real Madrid to be one of the formidable club in major tournaments. Meanwhile Barcelona and Girona struggling or fighting for what spot? They've both successfully qualified for the UEFA Champions League spot for next season. Barcelona thinking about leveling points with Real Madrid? It's impossible because there are just few games left and every opposition will trigger their best performance.
Real Madrid is getting stronger at the top of the standings after successfully beating Barcelona, which is currently in second place. The huge difference in points means that Real Madrid can more freely share its focus between La Liga and the Champions League. These two trophies are very important for Real Madrid after failing to win last season. The La Liga Trophy is almost certainly theirs, while in the Champions League they have to fight hard to get rid of Bayern Munich in the semifinals. Barcelona and Girona are only fighting for the Runner up position as the end of their struggle this season, there are still six more matches to be played before the season ends and Girona chances of finishing in second place depend on the results achieved by Barcelona.

Leverkusen has shown to many people that they are not a Bundesliga club that can be underestimated, maybe previously Leverkusen was an ordinary club but since Xabi Alonso took charge of this club he has made Leverkusen at the top level in Europe with an unbeaten record so far this season and soon Maybe Leverkusen will soon end it without defeat because the season will soon be over and Leverkusen's struggle will be achieved by winning the Treble Winners.
Leverkusen has even made the Bundesliga more colorful again. I was originally the one who underestimated Leverkusen. And considers every win Leverkusen gets like luck. but my thoughts about them changed after they also managed to beat Bayern in the Bundesliga. And from there I began to see that Leverkusen had indeed become stronger. And they are a club that must be respected in Europe today. Because becoming champion in the Bundesliga is something that is difficult to achieve but Leverkusen together with Xabi Alonso managed to make it happen. And last season everyone will definitely be curious about their performance in the Champions League. But for now we can judge them through the European league. Especially in the upcoming match against Roma.
One thing is certain, Leverkusen is not a team like Girona. Leverkusen's winning streak was the result of Xabi Alonso's hard work in compiling his squad with the right players, a very organized strategy and attacking the opposing team aggressively. As a result, Leverkusen is the only team that has not been defeated this season, this fact makes it the strongest candidate to win the race for the Europa League title and also win the Treble. Previously Leverkusen had managed to win the Bundesliga title and was in the final of the DFB Pokal.

Leverkusen have been at the highest level this season and even a team like Bayern Munich has not been able to beat them. I wouldn't be too surprised if Leverkusen managed to beat Roma at the Olimpico because they are always able to maintain their quality well, on the other hand Roma have just been beaten by Bologna in the domestic league.

The halving was a major event that attracted many new investors to bitcoins, some started investing seriously some months to the halving just so to make some profit from it.The halving was what attracted them, but now that the halving has come and gone, do you think that the number of new investors will reduce for the now until the next halving is close again?
The Halving event does not mean that the price of Bitcoin will immediately increase, it will take at least two to three months to feel the effects of the Halving. The trend in ETF fund inflows reflects the increasing interest of investors in Bitcoin after the Halving, which is one of the reasons that could increase Bitcoin prices. If you mean short term investors who buy Bitcoin just to take advantage of the Halving moment, investors like this will feel boredom, impatience and disappointment with the lack of results they get from their Bitcoin investment after the halving. Long term investors will maintain their assets based on the experience of three Halving periods that have occurred in the past, they believe in the potential for Bitcoin to grow towards its highest point (ATH) after Bitcoin exits the re-accumulation area.

Arsenal have one of the most difficult games in the fixture. Although 3 of their remaining 5 games are difficult, this will be the first of them. Arsenal's biggest advantage against Chelsea is the crowd support. Besides, Chelsea's poor run this season is also an advantage for them. Chelsea are unbeaten in the last 8 matches but they are also struggling to win. I think Arsenal will win this match, they have no other choice if they want to be champions, even a draw would be a bad result for Arsenal. They have to watch out for Palmer. He's the fittest player in the league right now.
I don't want to underestimate Chelsea, even though their performance has been inconsistent this season, surprises could happen at the Emirates stadium like when Chelsea held Manchester City to a draw at the Etihad stadium some time ago. The four wins and four draws achieved in the last eight matches in the Premier League indicate that Chelsea has started to find its best rhythm. The dramatic victory over Manchester United shows that the players' motivation is very high in achieving victory.
Currently Arsenal is in a better position than Chelsea, but Arsenal should not be too confident about the advantage of playing at home, Chelsea also really needs a win in order to finish in a better position.

I think that Paris has never been in such a favoring draw for the semi final and I am not underestimating Dortmund here,it is just that they have not the same quality players as Paris does and based on this I doubt there will be any surprise regarding which team will qualify for the final.I also think that Paris has the best chances to be crowned as Champions League winners for the first time in their history as they look the team in the better form compared to all the remaining teams in the competition.
In terms of player composition, it is true that PSG is far superior. Even in the last match against Barcelona, ​​we could see the enthusiasm of the PSG team who managed to beat Barcelona with a big score in the second leg. Even though that happened because Barcelona lost one player. But PSG still succeeded in the match. And actually Dortmund also did the same thing against Atletico Madrid in yesterday's second leg. Namely, Dortmund managed to win with a big score. So actually it is still quite difficult to see who will be superior if we put aside the composition of the players and just look at their performance on the field. But PSG's motivation to win the title for the first time might indeed be a strong driving force for this team to advance to the final by beating Dortmund in the semi-final match.
So what if Araujo hadn't been given a red card in the second leg, maybe the result would have been different. PSG victory in the second leg could not be separated from the luck factor because Barcelona played with 10 players from the first half, PSG immediately increased their attacks when they were in a superior position in terms of the number of players. Barcelona played very well in the first leg when they managed to beat PSG at home, of course Barcelona will take advantage of the home match to maintain their victory in the first leg. A draw at Camp Nou was enough for Barcelona to go to the semifinals. As a result of an unexpected incident, Barcelona had to be eliminated more quickly.

PSG must pass Dortmund to go to the final round, in terms of player material, PSG is superior to Dortmund. PSG must learn from the experience experienced by Atletico in the quarter-finals, concentration and consistency are needed in important matches to achieve victory. Luis Enrique experience can help PSG in the Champions League, they also cannot underestimate their opponents even though they are superior in terms of player composition.
214  Economy / Economics / Re: Your aging and retirement plan is your responsibility. on: April 23, 2024, 02:03:53 PM
Preparing retirement savings needs to be done early on as a source of income when you are no longer actively working due to age. The reason it is important to prepare retirement funds from the time you are still productive is because the needs that must be met in retirement are not small. The high cost of living due to inflation that occurs every year makes expenses increase. If you already have savings for old age or retirement, you will avoid worrying about the amount of expenses when retirement arrives.

Another benefit of preparing retirement funds is so that you don't have to depend on other people such as children or other family members. If you have prepared for financial freedom during retirement, you will reduce worries about financial resources to finance all your needs.
215  Local / Ekonomi, Politik, dan Budaya / Re: Bagaimana cara menghapus korupsi? on: April 23, 2024, 01:45:28 PM
Keberanian mereka melakukan korupsi dalam jumlah besar karena ancaman hukuman yang diterima para koruptor sangat ringan. Setiap melakukan aksinya telah diperkirakan sebelumnya, misalnya korupsi dalam jumlah sekian akan menerima hukum sekian tahun, kemudian pihak pengadilan memvonisnya sekian tahun, lalu dapat remisi termasuk 17 Agustus.

Ane setuju sekali gan. Misalnya ada koruptor yang ketahun korupsi 100 miliar. Ketahuan. Dapat tangkap dan diperiksa. Nah selama prosesnya itu dia bisa menyuap kepolisian, kehakiman, pengaraca, dan pihak pihak terkait lainnya. Setelah itu dibacakanlah hukumannya dan dinyatakan bersalah dan dipenjara. Karena ga mungkin juga kalau sudah ketahuan ga dipenjara. Tentu akan menjadi sasaran publik. Nah dipenjara dulu kemudian disediakanlah penjara vip layaknya hotel, bisa keluar masuk penjara asal jangan ketahuan, serta akan ada remisi setiap tahunnya sehingga dia bisa keluar secara legal. Dan ane yakin dia masih menyisakan uang puluhan miliar hasil dari korupsi yang bisa dinikmati. Tongue
Perlakuan khusus yang diterima koruptor sejak ditetapkan sebagai tersangka, kemudian menjadi terdakwa dan berakhir sebagai tahanan membuat mereka tidak pernah jera, proses hukumnya juga hanya menjerat koruptor saja tanpa melibatkan kerabat maupun keluarga yang terlibat dalam pencucian uang hasil korupsi.

Ringannya hukuman yang diterima dan perlakuan khusus saat dipenjara seperti difasilitasi dengan kemewahan dengan disediakan berbagai fasilitas khusus membuat korupsi sangat sulit dihapus. Coba saja jika hak politiknya dicabut bagi terpidana kasus korupsi dan mereka dimiskinkan ketika menjadi tersangka, mungkin angka korupsi akan menurun drastis karena koruptor lebih takut harta kekayaannya disita dan tidak bisa mengikuti pemilu legislatif maupun pemilihan kepala daerah daripada dipenjara dalam waktu beberapa tahun saja.

Biasanya untuk mengangkat topik seperti ini perlu adanya sumber kredibel yang bisa menguatkan argumen anda mengenai banyak kaula muda lebih memilih judi dari pada investasi. Jika ini hanya opini pribadi berdasarkan pengalaman yang anda lihat di kehidupan sekitar anda, mungkin kejadian seperti ini hanya terjadi di daerah anda saja.

Semua penjudi tahu ada dampak negatif dari permainan judi, mereka justru merasa tertantang dengan peluang yang ada dalam perjudian. Sebagian anak muda salah dalam mengartikan arti usaha dan peluang untuk masa depan yang lebih baik, seharusnya kata "Jangan pernah berhenti berusaha" digunakan pada tempat dimana mereka bisa menikmati hasil yang mereka tanam di masa sekarang seperti berinvestasi.
217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who's winning more casinos or gamblers? on: April 19, 2024, 10:59:53 PM
So the casino remains the biggest beneficiary, right?
Even though there are always winners and losers, the casino is always the one who makes the most money. Simply because all games are designed to give the casino an advantage, ensuring that the winners will only win a small portion of the total amount from the losers.

Although players can win big in one play, the truth is that the casino's payout rate is often less than the actual rate of the bets. For example, a slot machine may have a payout rate of only 70-80%, meaning that in the long run, the casino will keep 20-30% of the total bet.

In short, even though there are players who win big, the casino still makes the most money thanks to the profit margin and unfair odds, so even if the number of winners is equal or higher than the number of losers, they still get benefit. However, in reality, the number of winners is always only a very small number compared to the number of losers, so the casino's profits are huge.
However, the fact that casinos make higher profits compared to gamblers, we can see in gambling threads that only a few people get jackpot profits compared to thousands of gamblers who lose money in casinos, so any comparison will not make casinos lose even though many gamblers make profits, but The reality is that the ratio of losses is higher than wins in casinos, so many entrepreneurs are opening new casinos because they see very high profit opportunities in online casino companies.
218  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin might reach $100k before halviing. What is your exit strategy? on: April 19, 2024, 10:34:16 PM
There might be some chances that after halving then there would really be some bullish rally or we dont really know. Its really that hard to tell because people had been always anticipating for some drop,
but we are currently seeing the opposite on which its really that hovering above 60k which there might be a solid sign that it would be breaking that 70k+ resistance or all time high.
Cant really be sure but it would really be great to see with those numbers.
Market corrections have occurred twice at prices below $60k in the last 2 weeks but the price recovery was very fast until it returned to $64k, it is possible that this price recovery indicates a bullish market will occur after the halving and if only in the week it can reach $70k then speculation says $100k is possible this year.

Quote
Although there would really be still that probability of drop, this is why you cant be able to blame out people on why they would really be that skeptical on making
up such step and would really be waiting up for that correction on which they dont know whether it would come or not.
On the other hand, many people still doubt the decision to invest at the current price and relatively they will buy back at a price below $60k, but the market price can maintain $60k after last month's ATH, but we will not really know the market predictions in this condition halving and the possibility that the market may fall must also be considered because the effect after halving is that market prices will usually experience a high correction.
219  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you believe in savings or investment on: April 19, 2024, 10:28:29 PM
Having money in the bank is good but having a profitable investment is much better. So, to me is more about investment rather than just saving, because saving add little or no interest on your money but investment in various sectors like example in the housing sector guarantees return on investment in the long run. So I go with investment over savings.
If your purpose is for gaining money, investment is the choice. But we don't always expect for earning money, sometimes we are trying to secure money for the future. You need to understand that investment doesn't automatically gain profits, it has the risk of losing money. When you are not lucky or do the investment in careless way, you may have a chance to lose money. Meanwhile saving the money in bank will have no the risk of losing money as in the investment. You may pay for monthly fee in bank, but our money is safe in bank.

Anyway, just try to understand what the purpose of saving. It is not to get the interest, it to secure reserved money. So, don't compare the purpose of investment and saving!


The choice of saving in a bank is more guaranteed for financial security than investment if the purpose of saving is not to make a profit, but the negative effect of long-term saving in a bank can be the risk of losing the value of the currency due to ongoing global inflation, let's say the price of gold has now increased drastically and the impact of inflation has increased the price of gold depending on the local currency. This is influenced by the weakening of local currency exchange prices so that the decision to save money in the bank will be very risky. I still choose to allocate some of my savings to invest for the long term.
220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: April 19, 2024, 10:19:29 PM
This question is valid and common, anyone will definitely have a different reason hiding their gamble life from the public. Although the way most people view gambling is wrong cause the moment you say you're a gambler people look different and some might mistake you as an addict but this is wrong. I'm speaking from my experience or else I find no other reason or such gambler want to hide gambling cause of their kids or wife noticing, aside from what people will say and view I find nothing wrong that's why I prefer the online casino that involve your money and game only
The main reason people hide gambling is because they don't want to be claimed as a gambling addict by other people, because not every gambler can be called a gambling addict and people who see us gambling will have negative opinions about gambling activities, so it's better for us to keep every gambling activity a secret from anyone so that they don't convey untrue things to our family members.
