201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 11, 2024, 05:18:58 PM
2 nil for Bologna at Napoli with Napoli also missed a penalty.

With this potential victory, Bologna would almost certainly secure their place in the Champsion League.
If the match will end like this tomorrow Roma would be playing the match of the season, in or out against Atalanta for the next Champsion League spot.

A game of 60mil € value.



What do you guys think that the future holds for Napoli? I do not think they are actually going to be able to replicate the performance that they had in the last season. I don't think it actually even matters if they are able to keep the players that they had. I think in the last season, almost all of the teams were performing pretty badly. they were able to take advantage of that. now when the competition is actually bigger and better, they have failed to perform well. They got lucky in the last season. People might think that a team cannot get so lucky that they will be able to win the Italian league title. But of course, I am not saying it was all luck. Of course today a team that is on the verge of relegation cannot win the league title just because they are lucky. Napoli was a good team. And combined with the fact that they did not have much competition, they were able to win the league title. Whenever the situation got tough, they were unable to perform.

Some people are worried that they might just go with ETF instead of the actual bitcoin but I feel like their worry isn't something that big really
If they have no issue to access an exchange, either CEX or DEX, to buy Bitcoin by themselves, they should go with Bitcoin, not Bitcoin Spot ETF share.

It is not too difficult to do this, buying bitcoin and storing it in a non custodial wallet by themselves. It will force the investors to learn about wallet, backup, recovery and security of wallet and their devices. It requires some time to learn basics but in security and safety of their money, it is very worth to do.

Recommended Bitcoin wallets.
Security checklist
Protect yourself from fake wallet software (guide)
WARNING when using mobile device wallets (Android, iOS)

This may seem easy for young people with basic computer knowledge , but what about older people , who have difficulty with today's digital devices? I think bitcoin ETFs can solve that problem and it works in this case . I once tried talking to my parents about investing in bitcoin, they said it was too complicated and risky as they had to keep their privatekeys , passwords , 2FA... things they have never been exposed to before . But they can go to the bank and deposit their savings without my help. I think , if bitcoin ETF is more popular in my country then I think I will introduce it to them . I believe they will consider investing in bitcoin through an ETF because it does not bring too much trouble for them .
203  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Bitcoin Price is Down Today? on: May 11, 2024, 02:27:51 PM
There isn’t always a special reason why the Bitcoin goes up or down, if it’s only a small change (relative to Bitcoin). It’s just that more people are selling or shorting than buying or longing. When the price changes dramatically it can be because of significant FUD or bullish news. A 0.1% to 10% change in price over a short term period is just regular market behaviour, it is nothing to analyse.

Well said I think no one can explain the reason why bitcoin price is down, rather they can only tell you that the reason why bitcoin price is down maybe is due to the bullish News unlike as you said earlier. I think that's the right answer to that question because I see no other reason why bitcoin price keep showing decline for some couple of weeks now, and we shouldn't be worried about bitcoin price going down because that's how the market is most times.

I also agree with this explanation , there is nothing to analyze with what is happening in the market . I see what is happening in the market as completely normal and nothing to worry about . Instead, many people even expected bitcoin to drop to $50k or deeper to $40k because they thought it would be another good opportunity for them to accumulate the most bitcoin before the bull season come .

As a true investor, we should be happy to see the price of bitcoin fall because this is clearly an opportunity to buy , not a time to panic . And in case we cannot buy it , there is nothing to worry about, we need to understand that it is the movement of bitcoin , bitcoin decreases and will soon increase afterward .
204  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you feel that the global economy is declining? on: May 11, 2024, 02:15:16 PM
One of my colleagues told me that his salary is lower now than it was five years ago. Sadly, the price of goods is rising.
that is why it's not good to depend on monthly salary if you are working and you are earning money monthly you have to diversify your source of income so that when economy of your country is rough you can survive through different ways because many people who depend on monthly salary do suffer when they country is not balanced myself I have different investment have that used to sustain me since I was born I've not done a government work before or based on monthly salary to take care of my needs and want.
I think it's not the fault of our salary or not having a multiple income stream but the problem is about the inflation and its rising rates. We don't want this to happen either because we know that it will only going to affect us negatively but it can be the result of greedy actions made by the people who are more higher than us. You know, the banks and governments for example. But since it is already there and it seems there is no stopping them anymore, the only thing that we can do is to follow your suggestion there. The last thing that you have said is only a bit exaggerated to me and it already sounded like you are boasting already. Sorry about that.

If you have knowledge about money and spend time learning about how the economy operates in history, you will see that inflation, crisis, recession... are inevitable. They have been there and existed for hundreds of years, and they do not just appear in our generation.

The simple reason is that many people rely too much and put too much trust in the government, they think that the government will protect and save them if they are in trouble. They are too dependent and too subjective that they forget to make backup plans. If a person is smart, they will always find ways to increase their income and assets even when they are living in a stable economy. They will always have backup plans and always update and evolve to adapt to the development of society.
If we want to survive, we need to change and adapt promptly. Finding ways to blame others will not help us survive in this world.
205  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is going to happen with Bitcoin now? on: May 11, 2024, 01:56:00 PM
I have seen that after this Bitcoin halving, the price of Bitcoin has decreased a lot.
Do you want Bitcoin to continue to rise and never go down? If that is what is desired, then it will never happen given the normal ups and downs of movement.
The price after the halving is like the current market price is boring, but we will enter a new price history which will be the highest price above $100k.
Before the halving, Bitcoin had several times reached prices that exceeded the previous ATH. If you compare Bitcoin's current price of $63k with the price before the halving, I think the current conditions are still good.

Yeah, I still don't see anything too serious happening, although bitcoin has corrected in the past 1 month, the bitcoin price is still high and not too far from the ATH it created before. As a bitcoin investor, we all know that bitcoin is very volatile and compared to previous dumps, this correction is small, insignificant. But I don't understand why the OP thinks it's serious.

I guess before investing, OP did not carefully learn about the history and volatility of bitcoin and he mistakenly thought that the bull season would come immediately after the halving. Currently, he is feeling disappointed and depressed because things are not going as he thought.

But whatever, OP, we are getting very close to bull season, I hope you can get through this period, don't give up now if you don't want to regret it later.
206  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Donald Trump's stance on Bitcoin is changing, the Trump pump is beginning on: May 11, 2024, 01:34:55 PM
ETF, halving, US election, Fed will soon lower interest rates, the world economy enters a recovery cycle...all of this will create a super cycle for bitcoin.
I don't see any indication that interest rates are going to be lowered in US or pretty much in most other countries specially in the West. The recent FED announcement was also indicating no plans to lower the rates since the inflation is "sticky".
That means we will continue experiencing deepening recession and that affects bitcoin price negatively.

According to my research, initially the market expected there would be at least 3 interest rate cuts this year, but with the recent not-so-positive developments in the economy, expectations for interest rate cuts have been reduced to 2. Although the Fed has not given any signal about reducing interest rates, I think this year is an election year so the Fed must at least lower interest rates at least once to stimulate the economy before the election takes place.

By the way, I don't live in America and I don't care much about politics there, but honestly, I hope Mr. Trump will be elected. At least under Mr. Trump's term, the world economy will be better than what Biden is creating.
With the way Biden is screwing up these days, Trump will probably win and there will be a funny days ahead. Specially when he wants to travel abroad as POTUS since he is wanted for an act of terror and he will either be eliminated or "taken" Wink

In any case I agree that the world economy will be better with him though because there is a good chance he will "ostracize" United States more than his previous term and this time speed up the ongoing global dedollarisation which helps the economy of any country that does it in the long run.

I'm also interested in de-dollarization and hope it happens faster because letting one country dominate the world is unpleasant and unfair, a multipolar world would be better for many other countries and the whole world. But what I'm more care about is that the economy will soon recover and trigger a bull season, a super cycle for bitcoin. That's why I support Trump over Biden  Grin Grin.
207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 10, 2024, 05:10:24 PM
There is no more experienced team on the Champions League platform than Real Madrid. Comparing between Dortmund and Real Madrid is stupid I would say. Undoubtedly, Real Madrid will be considered hot favorites in this match.

But on the Champions League platform, we often see the underdog teams win and surprise everyone. None of us expected a team like Dortmund to qualify for the final this season. A few seasons ago we saw Chelsea unexpectedly qualify for the final. and won the title. I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happens this season. But Ancelotti is very experienced. He will take all necessary measures to defeat the Dortmund team.
I agree, there is no comparison between these two teams as both are coming from different conditions and atmosphere and Real Madrid is having good experience and quality for the final game as they are going to win this title just after one year and Borussia Dortmund is having third final of their all career in soccer which is telling all story of these teams which are going to compete in final.

We all know how inconsistent is this UEFA events with any team on match day can bring surprising performance and can win the game as we have in semifinal and then in Europa League games where we have loses for the big teams drastically currently we are having Carlos Ancelotti as one of the best coach who is doing amazing decisions which are giving him good results and success, so things are clearly favourable for the Real Madrid but still it's going to be interesting game.

This is going to be the final of the Champions League competition. Let’s be honest everyone is expecting that Real Madrid is going to beat Dortmund pretty easily in the final of the Champions League. Of course, it is very understandable because Real Madrid is the best Champions League team that there is in the world. But I think we should not underestimate Dortmund at all. they have proved everyone wrong in these Champions League matches. Because nobody actually gave them any chance to be in the final of the Champions League in the first place. Nobody even thought that they will even reach the semifinals. But now we have the finals between these two teams. So I think it is not going to be a good idea to underestimate Dortmund. And this is the final of the Champions League competition. Any surprise can happen in this match.
208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: May 10, 2024, 05:00:15 PM
The European League finally brought together Atalanta and Leverkusen, who still don't know what defeat means in this season, which has been flooded with praise from everywhere. European teams are starting to look at Leverkusen, both coaches and players are being targeted by big teams. With the quality built I am optimistic that Leverkusen will win the Europa League trophy. Atalanta did manage to get rid of big teams like Liverpool and Marseille, but in my opinion to beat Leverkusen you need something stronger. I don't know what tactics Atalanta will use to bring down the Leverkusen players mentality in the final. The reason is that until now no team has been able to stop Leverkusen.
A team as strong as Bayern Munich couldn't even stop Leverkusen this season. So of course Atalanta will also have difficulty beating Leverkusen. And currently many are optimistic that Leverkusen will win the European League title. But all of that is not certain. Because Atalanta is a team full of surprises. For example, Atalanta was able to beat Liverpool quite decisively. So it is not surprising that Atalanta will be the team that can beat Leverkusen. I'm very curious about the results later.
I think it is now easy to decide who the trophy fits on this season from what Leverkusen displayed yesterday, not many teams can do that and now I feel really bad for myself not watching the game live. My bet will be on Leverkusen winning the finals, Atalanta is a strong match against Leverkusen not winning the finals but I believe Leverkusen are much entitled to beat Atalanta and secure the trophy. If comparing Atalanta - Liverpool, I also believe putting Leverkusen up against Liverpool will surely be an easy win for Leverkusen.

Leverkusen vs Roma
2-2
4-2 on aggregate

Expected something like this. And I don’t think it was only me. The cousin has performed in this season, this was expected that they are going to go forward to the final of the Europa League competition. That’s why I said that Roma should actually concentrate on the Italian league a lot more after they lost the first leg against Leverkusen. now Leverkusen is going to play in the final of the Europa League competition against Atalanta. And I actually see Leverkusen winning the final as well the way they have performed in this season, there is no reason to doubt them at all. The thing is, they will play the Europa League final on the 23rd May and they will play the DFB pokal final on the 26th May. So that might be a little bit of a problem for Leverkusen. But I still think that they will be able to win both the finals.
209  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a core subject in our schools - Good or bad idea? on: May 10, 2024, 08:34:26 AM
Gold exist since long time ago, why there are no school taught their children how to buy and sell gold, how to check authenticity of the gold, how to store it, how to calculate the tax etc?

Stock also exist since long time ago, why there are no school taught their children how to buy and sell stock, which broker to use, how to choose the good stock, how to trade etc?

I don't understand with someone who're really trying to brainwash people to buy Bitcoin, when there have been many assets that also profitable and they didn't even force people to buy it.

It is due to the delusion of some bitcoin investors, just because bitcoin brings them a little profit and their lives gradually get better. They gradually become delusional and consider bitcoin more than a god, they make proposals about bitcoin that cannot be more crazy. Bitcoin should be introduced into education, bitcoin should be applied to the economy to eradicate poverty, reduce unemployment, bring peace to the world through transparency...So many crazy ideas that I really don't know how they can come up with them when they don't even know anything about the education industry, how the economy works. We are just bitcoin investors, not economic advisors, financial experts or education ministers.

Bitcoin is truly an investment, an asset, and money. Nothing more, nothing less, but many people are too delusional and spread too much false information about it.
210  Economy / Economics / Re: If you want to be wealthy you need action on: May 10, 2024, 05:45:14 AM
just action is not enough.
to become wealthy you anyone need to grow balls and have the guts to take on the risk that could give us the chance to become rich, almost all of people who gained their wealth from scratches take the risk to get to that point.
If someone say they don't take risk while building their wealth from scratch they might be lying, the key is always whether or not you dare to take the risk of becoming really broke if you fail or becoming really successful if you succeed.
that I think the key point to become wealthy in my opinion.
also working harder than anyone else usually also pays off, the early bird get the most of food so they say.
so just action isn't necessarily enough to suddenly get you far, though it does indeed required as well.

I agree with what you said, taking risks is probably the most important factor if we want to talk about getting rich. If someone has a plan and is willing to work hard but if they are not willing to step out of their comfort zone and don't want to take risks then they will never succeed and become rich. That is why many people who are highly educated, and have knowledge and experience cannot become rich, simply because they do not dare to take risks, do not dare to trade off, and accept challenges. There is no success or wealth without trade-offs, and to make trade-offs, we need to be bold.
211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Donald Trump's stance on Bitcoin is changing, the Trump pump is beginning on: May 10, 2024, 04:20:19 AM


This is the speech of Trump where he mentioned that his administration will support the cryptospace.
One thing you have to realize about countries with two political parties only is that they always contradict each other because they always want to polarize the society and get part the votes that their competitor doesn't get.

For example if the "blue team" says Bitcoin is bad the "red team" is automatically going to say say Bitcoin is good. They may both think bitcoin is good or think bitcoin is bad but they go against each other just for election purposes.

That's just a trick to lull people into thinking they have a choice and the "system" itself works and there is no need for a regime change. People have to continue believing that the problem is the party currently in office and there is only one alternative and it is the other party and other party alone. And four years is a long time for them to forget why they chose this other party and why in the next election they went back to the first party that they didn't want 4 years ago Smiley

Yes, that is just a trick of politicians, they are ready to do anything just to get our votes.

Regardless of the purpose, former President Trump's statements will bring extremely good impacts to the market. We all expected a bull season to emerge after the halving and with this news, we have another catalyst to expect a super cycle to emerge soon.

ETF, halving, US election, Fed will soon lower interest rates, the world economy enters a recovery cycle...all of this will create a super cycle for bitcoin.

By the way, I don't live in America and I don't care much about politics there, but honestly, I hope Mr. Trump will be elected. At least under Mr. Trump's term, the world economy will be better than what Biden is creating.
212  Economy / Economics / Re: Money is all wealth? on: May 10, 2024, 04:06:01 AM
Money can only make things happen that you want, that you can buy using money that will make you happy, but that alone is not enough.
And you also have to know that it's not just money that will make you happy and rich, because there are many things that are more important than everything and also money. The most important thing is health, a life partner and also having a happy family, career and life experience which in my opinion is more than just money and wealth that must be had. And in my opinion there will be no point if you have wealth just by having money, if you don't have everything I mentioned above then it is useless and meaningless. Think carefully, what true happiness and wealth look like.

But I want to ask you, if you didn't have money, would your family be happy ? Are you happy when you cannot provide good food for your children , your children do not receive a full education, or your wife does not have beautiful dresses or jewelry ? If it were me , I wouldn't be able to feel happy when my children and wife are more disadvantaged than the people around me . Not to mention , how will you take care of and nurture your parents when you don't have much money ?

Our society is becoming more pragmatic than ever, where money can erase all sadness as well as bring you all joy and happiness in life . We need to accept that truth and adapt to it instead of avoiding it .
You are right, and my question is whether I am stating that money is not everything. And what I am stating clearly is that money can make everything we want and need happen, including everything you mentioned.
And I just said that it doesn't mean that only money makes us rich or happy, health, a happy partner or family and so on, and what I mentioned is the valuable wealth and happiness that we must have besides money.
I hope you can read it and interpret it well, thank you for commenting on my comment. Wink

I understand what you mean, you are trying to say that having money is not enough, we need health, happiness, family...and I want to tell you that if you don't have money, things like health, family happiness...you won't have it. Money may not buy happiness but it will certainly maintain your family's happiness. Without money, I guarantee that maintaining family happiness is very difficult, if not impossible.

My point of view is that money is everything, when you have money you will have everything you want from health to happiness...things that cannot be bought with money will be bought with a lot of money.
213  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Will always Survive on: May 10, 2024, 03:56:16 AM
Of course it will survive. But not in the way you think. Bitcoin will become institutionalized and heavily-regulated by mainstream governments. It will be quite challenging to obtain true financial freedom. Especially with KYC and surveillance all over the place. The days of true decentralization and censorship-resistance are coming to an end.

With the path Bitcoin is taking, don't expect things to get better anytime soon. We can blame people for relying on BTC as a store of value than a currency. "Wall Street" is now in the game, and it's already too late. Don't want to sound pessimistic, but these are the facts. I wonder if there's still hope for BTC?  Undecided

I also don't want to be pessimistic and spread Fud but I agree with what you said , the days of freedom and censorship-resistance will soon end. The government probably won't be able to control the bitcoin network , but they will find a way to regulate and control all of our bitcoin investors. I have said that if we want bitcoin to become popular, it is inevitable that we will be regulated. Many people are too subjective and think that the government will not be able to do anything to us and we will become free with bitcoin, they underestimated the government and now look at what the government is doing. We still live in a world where the government is the manager and controller of everything and finding ways to fight them has never brought us any good results.

Bitcoin's existence depends on human needs, so as long as people still have needs, it will not disappear, but if we no longer need it, it will soon be forgotten .

BTC is an investment instrument and we are also a component of the market cycle too. Maybe the financial condition of society is still not good enough at this time. Yes, that's right, As long as there is a need and demand comes BTC will always be there.

The world is constantly evolving, bitcoins have been created and I wouldn't be surprised if in the future something better than bitcoins is created.

Indeed, nothing is impossible in future evolution and new developments, but currently BTC is still in its position.



I am confident that bitcoin will be the asset that receives the most attention this decade or century, but that doesn't mean it will last forever or that nothing superior will be created . Many people are crazy about bitcoin to the point of denying reality, but I prefer reality , and as long as the world doesn't stop, it's only a matter of time before new , superior technologies are created. But that won't happen anytime soon and we don't need to worry too much about it, let's enjoy the present and our present is bitcoin . The more bitcoins we accumulate, the better our lives will be, which is what we should focus on.
214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: May 09, 2024, 06:45:18 PM
Arsenal has very very easy two games, they are going to definitely win both of them (and if they don't, they do not deserve the title anyway lol). However, the only problem for Arsenal is that Manchester City is not playing anywhere else at the moment, just one FA Cup finals game down the road, and the games they have left do not look like all that great neither for Arsenal. West Ham? 9th in the league at the moment. Tottenham? 5th, so maybe? Fulham? 13th in the league.

So as you can see maybe Tottenham could, or maybe a shocking thing will happen but I feel like the possibility of three out of three is a lot more likely at the moment. This is why we should consider how the teams could get even better in most cases, that should be the point and City is at the top.

Arsenal will play against Manchester United and Everton in the remaining two matches. If this was a different time, I might have said that Manchester United is not an easy opponent. But now I think it is not going to be wrong to actually say that Manchester United is Easy work for Arsenal. And of course, Everton should be easier. Arsenal should be able to win both of those matches without any big problems.

But even though Arsenal is in the first position of the table, Manchester City has played one match less compared to them and is only one point behind them. So there is every chance that either of these teams are actually going to win the English Premier League title. Now I think there is a chance that Manchester City is going to draw against Tottenham. and I don’t know what is going to happen at the end of the season but right now Manchester City does not have a good enough goal difference to be ahead of Arsenal by being on the same points. So this is definitely going to be very interesting last couple of weeks.

Personally , I believe that the bitcoin revolution is only in its infancy and that bitcoin could be around for a long time to come. But to say it will last forever, no one can be sure, so don't rush to draw conclusions for the future when we have nothing to prove. The world is constantly evolving, bitcoins have been created and I wouldn't be surprised if in the future something better than bitcoins is created.

There is absolutely still more than enough bitcoin to go round and everyone can still own bitcoin.
From the title, I think I agree with op that everyone should own bitcoin no matter how little or small it might be, everyone should rather own bitcoin and preserve their future as bitcoin is already proving to be one of the safest way to survive the future.

On the other hand, I also think a lot of people who who about bitcoin, don’t also own a fraction of it and this isn’t because isn’t because they don’t want to own a portion, but because I can’t afford it and you’ll agree with me that there are people who know so much about bitcoin but don’t have the money to buy or even hold.
I support the view that everyone should own bitcoin because its potential is huge , but to say that bitcoin is proven and that it can preserve our future is a bit of an exaggeration . Bitcoin has only existed for 15 years and that is not enough to prove anything , not to mention it is not yet popular and accepted worldwide. There is still a lot of controversy surrounding bitcoin and that is why I say that the potential of bitcoin is huge, but there are no guarantees .

It is true that there are many people who want to invest in bitcoin but because economic conditions do not allow them to invest in bitcoin . But it's never too late to invest in bitcoin and they can invest whenever they want, so if they are really determined to own bitcoin , there will always be a way.
218  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is bitcoin for you? on: May 09, 2024, 03:07:00 PM
Bitcoin is significant. Its more than just a computer thing; its a set of beliefs. Totally changes the way money is dealt with, see? The best kind of money change is coming. Thats the future: decentralized and safe. We're not trying to get rich quickly; we're just trying to make things more fair. People in the Bitcoin world are the real deal. The world is being changed by smart, creative people. These are the richest people's freedoms, but everyone can get them too. These steps will help us build a better economy than the old one.
That's a perfect perception of Bitcoin I must commend.
The world used to have this this view about money having a centralised nature, and bitcoin has come to revolutionize that perspective about money as well as the financial system.

The core of the vision backing the bitcoin movement has always been security, privacy and decentralisation, and this has really created a more accessible economy to everyone who choose to embrace it.
That's what Bitcoin is all about and not a get rich quick scheme like so many pictures it to be, no it's more about creating a more transparent system and economy for everyone.

Theoretically what Blitzboy said is not wrong but let's look at what is actually happening. Blitzboy, what do you and I and many others use bitcoin for? If we were not for profit and bitcoin was just a stable asset that did not generate profits, I believe we would not be here to support bitcoin either.

I know many people are still using bitcoin for many other purposes but I would be lying if I said we don't use bitcoin to get rich quick. If you have no money and are not rich, who will care about your existence, so why do you need privacy? So there is nothing wrong or shameful when we use bitcoin to get rich.

To cut this story short, it turned out that my trusted neigboir whom I have few times vouched for to be a bitcoin investor is a online scammer who collect Bitcoin from his victims, until he was bursted 2 days ago, it was around 5am in the morning when the raid happened in our compound
Look, how exactly mixers help your friend in this case? if mixers really help criminal to stay anonymous/undetected, why he can get caught? I don't see mixers should be blamed in this case, actually mixers didn't help him.

Why don't you ask questions, this guy has been scamming for many years and robbing a lot of people's money. But because he used a mixer, the police had difficulty arresting him and accidentally let him commit fraud for many years. If mixers are really as harmless as you say, then why is the government so determined to eliminate them?

Many people are going to hate me for this but I don't blame the law for going after mixers and privacy featured wallets in crypto space, if you believe that you are clean it is only to yourself, the other users might not, you really can't tell who to trust or not.
Nope, I don't blame you to teach/discuss about mixers.

Many things are two edged sword, if a mother teach a kids to use knife to cut apples, but this kids stabbed someone using knife, is the mother a criminal and should going to jail?

But I agree with you, mixers, bitcoin or fiat...all are not at fault and all those scams come from human behavior. The scammers are the ones responsible and the people who lost money also have some responsibility because if they weren't greedy then no one could have scammed them.

The fun fact about Jose Mourinho is we know he got the knowledge and he could make a change in Roma, he was maybe the best coach in the world after the performance we saw from him when he was working at Inter Milan or Porto. But we should accept that Mourinho didn't have a good performance in Roma even after the chance they gave him. While the young coach of Roma, De Rossi, who has not experienced enough and is not a famous coach like Mourinho had a perfect performance so far and he is about to make Roma get the Champions League ticket.
Conclusion of this talk is every player and coach have good and bad day José Mourinho was one of the best coach while he was winning trophies and giving his best but currently his strategy is not working which is not allowing him for having big wins like we have with many other coaches in different leagues things are never stay at the same level his performance was not good at Roma which is having no doubt and De Rossi done good job with now two important games are going to give all about can they go for the Champions League, or we are having them again into Europa League which is also not bad but for the better results and having good end of the season they need few quality players which give them good performance and better results which are more important for them and their good future.

I think they were more worried about him being in the third season of his coaching and the track record of him coaching a team in the third season has not been good. Yes of course the results were also not looking very good. So it did make sense that they decided to get a new coach.

But I was very vocal about getting the coach that they have right now. I never thought he was going to be a big improvement. And that’s what I think we can see now. After a coach comes to a club, initially he is able to find good results. Because there is a different level of motivation in the players. But after that "honeymoon phase" is over, it is hard to keep the players as motivated as they were. And that is exactly what is happening in my opinion. But everyone keeps saying that if a coach is given enough time, he is almost always going to bring in better results. Let’s see if that is true or not.
