I got very bored while watching the Manchester City - Inter match truthfully. Not even watching a goal was very disappointing.  Sad  Inter have such a strong defense that they just don't concede a goal. I was expecting Haaland to be ineffective in this match. I'm not gonna lie about it.  Tongue  Because he is just disappearing in big matches.

This wasn't the performance of a top contender in a competition like the Champions League. Manchester City really need to get better. I know it is early of course but it is better to take precautions in time.

They have 2-3 more fierce opponents to face in this phase such as Juventus, PSG and maybe more as far as I can remember.

Haaland was always shining when City faced a weak opponent. But this is kinda different once they have a strong club as their opponent, such as Inter milan.

Inter Milan has figured out how to stop Haaland. Two defenders were always marking him. His teammates were unable to feed him. He rarely got a good chance in this game. It's hard for him to find free space when their opponent knew very well about the way he moved. There isn't a solution, but he can create free space for his teammates to shoot.

And i think a draw isn’t a bad result for City, considering Inter was their toughest opponent in the group stage.

Napoli want Alex Meret to extend his contract because they consider him as an important goalkeeper, but this reminds me of Osimhen situation last season where Napoli also said the same thing but how did it end? for now there is no interest from any club interested in Alex Meret plus he still wants to be with Napoli. One thing I am worried about is Napoli management can change their mind anytime and Conte can easily play any player to be dropped from the main squad.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1835781562488807846
I remember it correctly, Meret has one year option in his clause with Napoli. He can extend his contract for one more season(2025). And i think he will not be ended in same way like Osimhen. He impressed from the start of the season. He has made 2-3 good saves per match since the start of the competition. In the end, no doubt they wanna hand him a new contract.

On the other hand, Everton secured survival from relegation comfortably last season but they had already lost 4 games played this season and I think Everton are in deep trouble if the manager are still unable to fix their poor defense with a good solution.

I ultimately believe Everon will be fine. However, the manner in which they have lost their opening four games is infuriating. But let's take it positive. They are playing better than last season. They were starting to be productive by scoring goals. I think they can finish mid-table. That's without the points deductions like last season.

And it's also very important to remember they aren’t the first team to start this way. i called them click-bait relegation team.

AC Milan and Liverpool are going to meet in the Champions League and we expect an interesting game between these two teams. However, between these two teams in the EPL, Liverpool is much stronger, if they can come up with their best performances. On the other hand, AC Milan is a good team from Serie A, although they are currently not playing well following a very good performance. However, how well these two teams can play in the Champions League depends on their performance, but I think Liverpool is more likely to win. Betting on Liverpool can be expected to win even though both teams are quite strong with Liverpool being one of them.



It's hard to predict this. But the odds above make me think Liverpool could win, but by a narrow margin. However, it totally depends on what kind of lineup is gonna be used by Liverpool soon. I meant since Italian teams are very tactical in their approach, and i think they need Nunez to start. His unpredictability in attack may help them. Though this is kinda risky, it's not that bad to start him.

I just checked Milan fans. They are confident in their wingers, specifically. Especially Leao. They think Leao can beat Trent, and i think it's unlikely to happen 'cause Trent is one of the best RBs. I reckon Leao vs Trent is going to be quite the showdown.

The positive thing is that Milan's defence is a bit shaky. It can be seen from their recent games in Serie A. This is why i think we can beat them in an away game. All in all, i predict we're gonna beat them 1-0.

I just got hacked, Ledger wallet, stolen BTC and ETH.
Anyone who can help retreive funds, all help is appreciated. Reward in terms of percentage of retrieved funds is absolutely possible.

I'm sorry for your loss. It's impossible to revert the money that was stolen by the hacker. The only good thing to do is to avoid using ledger.

There have been a lot of cases related ledger's hack. Ledger is a flawed wallet.

There were many victims telling Ledger developers about this, but they never cared.

Since we aren't done completely with September, we cannot predict on what the second half of the month may give concerning the bitcoin market price, though from the weekly candles and market sentiments seen of recent, we can deduce that the market is trying to break the band above $60,000 but the resistance against this is getting much and higher, which also tells that we should either expect for more bear or bull as the case maybe for this moth while next month may likely favour all through for bull.

I still stick to my first scenario. If we see BTC enter a bull trend, it will start next month. I have no optimism to see it now. This is because this month is going to be a volatile month for bitcoin. Though it's possible for btc to show a reverse movement, we have not yet gone down to reach our new support.

It makes sense if you say that October will be the start of the Bitcoin uptrend.  It has been observed that October is often a strong month for Bitcoin often called Uptober.  It is also expected that the October trend often serves as Pivotal for the Bitcoin market since this month often recovers from September market losses[1]



[1] https://coinedition.com/bitcoins-september-curse-can-2024-be-any-different/

Yeah, and it happens now.



The FED decided to cut 50 basis points. It makes BTC dump from above 60k to the 57k, but a slight recovery is happening now. However, i can't be really sure if this is gonna stay long for bitcoin to stay at the current rate (59k). I expect it's gonna dump soon following the opening of US stock market.

There's still an hour and a half left before the opening of US stock market. And if it dips, I'm sure bitcoin will be dragged down too.

I'm ready with my position to short. Hopefully, we will see it back to the 55k to give us an opportunity to buy.
227  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is The election worth the hype for BTC on: September 16, 2024, 12:03:55 PM
Trump will win the US election easily but i don’t think so that after the appointment of trump as President the price of bitcoin immediately increasing reach 90k usd. This year there will be no huge pump in bitcoin’s price, may be next year the price start increasing and bitcoin will reach new ATH price.

It's not going to be an easy win for Trump.

The latest data show that Harris leads the election. Her support is rising after the last presidential debate.



Also, it's totally wrong to assume that the result from the election has so much weight on Bitcoin's price. The fact is that FED's cut rate announcement is gonna be even more crucial to impact Bitcoin's price.

Also, the FED is going to announce a cut rate soon. And if this is going to be more than 50 basis points, that will bring the price of bitcoin down to reach another low. However, it can be less than that too. But, let's see.

Hopefully, we're going to see a cut rate of less than 50 basis points cut rate.

https://www.flashscore.com/news/soccer-laliga-real-madrid-didn-t-deserve-to-win-against-real-sociedad-says-ancelotti/QD7gsWfB/

Ancelotti says that they didn't deserve to win against Real Sociedad yesterday. I'll give him that about it. They really didn't play well at all. There is just no need to think emotionally just because of being a fan of Real Madrid right?  Smiley  Their defending was horrible. If I remember correctly, Real Sociedad had 3 shots hitting the post. What an unlucky day for them...

This game could have ended really badly for Real Madrid as a result. Ancelotti should focus on defending stronger.

It was nice to see Arda Güler winning a penalty for his team too.  Grin

Ancellotti was totally right about his statement. His team is really atrocious to watch. Poor finishing. A shaky defense. Bad ball circulation. No creative midfielder to pass to the attackers, and more. They're only lucky because the goalpost gods were on their side. I can't imagine what will happen against Barcelona with no improvement in their play.

Also, Madrid is now a penalty FC, and this is because 50% of its total goals were coming from penalty.

That makes sense if Ancelotti said that. His team is down to earth. And look at the stats below.



It shows madrid received many penalties since the start of season. It's hardly to deny if they're now penalty FC.
230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025 on: September 16, 2024, 09:24:06 AM
After Liverpool's defeat yesterday I am pessimistic and expect Arsenal to lose points too, it will probably be a dull season where City will dominate again (and Haaland will score 70 goals haha). I won't bet but I think Tottenham double chance at 1.50 is the right choice as Tottenham are underrated and Arsenal are overrated.
No matter how Arsenal play today, I expect that after this round City's odds for the title will rise to 1.4-1.5.

I can't say I was wrong about Tottenham despite the end result. I'm glad Arsenal won, but it was a lucky win, not a logical outcome. To my surprise, the City is still listed very weakly:

Manchester City - 1.91

Arsenal - 3.00

Liverpool - 9.00

Bookmakers are probably taking into account that at the end of the season City could receive a serious penalty in the form of points being deducted.

Well, that's the point. It's risky to bet on the city. They could face a sanction. Betting on them means if we're also betting City to win the legal action against PL. It all depends on the court's decision. However, their odds are slightly down since they beat Brentford. It has gone from 2.05 to below 2.

It means, despite their odds, they are weakly listed. But there is hope they will win the trophy again and continue their 3-season unbeaten run. I expect it goes even lower if they keep continue to win any games.

Besides Axie, what are some other cool GameFi projects you all are looking at or invested in? Always keen to hear different perspectives on emerging games/projects in this space. Let me know what's on your radar!


I can only tell you this.



Bigtime is a very good GameFi, and it's also offering very good play-to-earn mechanism. Also, this is far better than axie. Bigtime is different. It was using not Axie's method of issuing an in-game currency with an unlimited supply. It uses its native token (time token) to reward the players.

The gameplay is good. It is better than playing a garbage game like Axie.



I've also invested several thousand in this token. I saw the potential of Bigtime. It's also listed on all of the major exchange sites.

I hope this help you.

I spent 280 bucks here to farm this. Let's see whether this airdrop is gonna worth. I think that if how much you received totally depends on the numerous factors. A lot of my friends are getting more than me cuz they have spent bigger than me.

If the price is gonna be the same like the pre-market and i will be so happy with it.

It's about time guys... Hamster is finally listing on major exchanges, Binance, Bitget

We're seeing Hamster Kombat coming this far, players are going from tapping to becoming a rich ceo on the app. Seeing they have millions of active users playing their game, you can really imagine how much hype it would go.

This is even bigger as if you combine NOT and DOGS hype. Hopefully there won't be any issue with claiming, cos last time with not & dogs, Bybit experienced a huge issue. Later on users changed their deposit to Bitget since it is a reliable cex and had a lot of events surrounding it for TON and dogs.

Anyways the question is, how can TON blockchain take the load once it's live?

TON blockchain can't take the load once Hamster's airdrop claim live. TON blockchain is quite scalable, but i remind you when the dogs claim gone live. it made TON blockchain stuck for many hours. I expect the same to happen. But, you can prevent it. Just send your airdrop directly to the exchange site. I have done it with dogs, i sent my airdrop directly to the OKX, and it went very smooth.

Things are getting worse. Catizen will also airdrop its tokens this month.  Catizen and Hamster's airdrop claim goes live soon. The TON blockchain will be overloaded. TON blockchain will be congested again soon. It makes onchain airdrop claim won't possible.

Erik ten Hag simply tells Ronaldo to mind his own business here.  Grin  Honestly I believe Ronaldo is completely right about criticizing Manchester United's condition for years. This team is too far away from their good old days.

Ronaldo is one of the legends for this team. When he came back there I got so happy. He really did his best and performed well also. But they treated him unfairly and he was right about leaving after that. Now the owners are different of course. With Erik ten Hag or not, I want to see some success. Probably it will be without him by the way. Because you all see what's going on. Can't one improve even a little?  Huh

From what i've seen that Ten Haag can't handle criticism. That's why he's terrible. No doubt that he never takes any accountability for his club.And watching him speak is so cringe.

How can we expect Manchester United players to be accountable for their performances? when their manager seems allergic to it? That's why they went from title contenders to being told just a top-4 finish and secure a UCL spot is alright. I'm sure Fergie never did it in the past.

So much delusional on Ten Hag. But i do like how he showed a very unrealistic approach in this interview.
Je pushes ghe blame of poor performance on the players so tell me how will he imlrove when he is shying away from nog accepting the facts that if the players are not doing well on the pitch, it os him that is not doing well too. He hates criticism and i think he should be criticized if that is what will make him improve the club performance or leave the club. Ten Hag needs to know how to be in good relationship with the players maybe that will help him in his job.

As long as Ten hag is seeing any criticism as a way to build up his team better, I think  we are fine about that. The problem is that he seemed to be anti-criticism. He keeps denying any helpful criticism to solve his club's problems.

Ronaldo is a former Manchester United player. He is one of the world's most successful footballers. He has won more trophies than Ten Hag. He was also giving positive criticism.

Manchester United leads Soton 2-0. Rashford and De Ligt scored. Despite their poor performance especially on their midfield. But they are able leaving from the pressure by Soton.

I'm very happy to see Rashford's great shot. It's going to the net. I'm also pleased with De Ligt. His clearance is superb.

Also, Onana helped United by saving a penalty. This destroyed Soton's mentality. But Dalot been useless so far. He must become a player with lowest rating.

It seems Manchester United will win by a big score as long as they can keep up that performance in the second half.

New investors should aim to maximize profit potential and minimize risk through at least one market cycle.
I believe new investors have tried to do that. The problem is, they have a different method to approach.

Despite the current market conditions, global factors will affect the price of Bitcoin, and many investors still lack knowledge about the crypto, leading them to sell prematurely.
You can't really blame them at all. Don't generalize about their knowledge just because they sold their stash early. I meant, there are various types of investors. And sometimes, there are kind of investors who sell their stash to get back in at the lower price.

If Argentina can perform the same against Colombia, I think they can beat them with huge score.

The last match between Colombia and Argentina was in the Copa America final, where the match was full of competition. In the end, Argentina defeated Colombia in the Copa America final to become champions. In the last 5 head-to-head matches between these two teams, Argentina won 3 matches and drew 1 match, while Colombia won 1 match. Argentina is ahead of Colombia in past and present statistics. Argentina is currently in great form, so I also think Argentina will be able to beat Colombia.

Unfortunately, it will be difficult for the Argentina fans in Bangladesh to watch the game. Because the match will start from 2.30 am, it is almost midnight. I have been supporting Argentina for a long time, I will try to watch the game. Let's see how Argentina performs against Colombia.

I'm picking Argentina to win the game. They will play without Messi and Maria. Their last game was promising. But they must be careful considering Colombia is not a weak opponent. They often struggle to beat Colombia.

even though Argentina gave a better performance than Colombia but still lost in the game, it was rewarding for the Columbia team to have gotten a win and something that's like a revenge after thier last encounter at the Copa America finals when Argentina won them 1:0. With the victory, Colombia is now second on the qualification table with 16 points and only 2 points behind Argentina who is leading in the south American division. The home crowd helped the Columbian team  regained thier strength even after they scored first and got a quick response from the Argentina side they still managed to push hard on and forced Argentina to conced a penalty of which Rodriguez scored to put Colombia at a massive advantage over the visiting team. Even though this loss that Argentina experienced could be linked to the absence of Messi that's yet to recover from the injury he sustained at the Copa America and the absence of di maria who has officially retired from the national team, what's most important is that the Colombian side took advantage of all the opportunity they had and got all three points in front of her home fans.

Yeah, that sucks. I lost my bet. I never expected that Argentina would be underperforming in this game. Though they're still in first place. But their result against Colombia really disappointed me. They played so awfully in this game, and Scaloni's subs was worsening the situation.

This proves that what Scaloni said (if his club was too dependent on Messi was true. They were good against weak countries without Messi. But they struggled against strong clubs like Colombia.

Colombia has seen Argentina as their major roadblock for more than 1 decade. They finally got a small revenge against Argentina.

I do not trust the posts of this Vitalik in social media anymore. He was sharing bullish thoughts on Ethereum for this month, however if you look onchain, the Ethereum Foundation which is under his control and his personal wallet were sending ETH in exchanges for dumping.

Is his plan to publicly mention these projects that are in stage 1+ in decentralization are really the tokens of projects that he and the members of the Ethereum Foundation are holding? This is very headshaking behavior.




This makes no sense.  You're complaining about the EF dumping its ethereum. We know well that the EF is a non-profit organization.



https://eu.ci/organisations/ethereum-foundation/#

And how can EF fund its operational costs & RnD? They received nothing from fee revenues generated by their protocol. The protocol revenue is fairly going to all miners and validators who helped maintain it.

It's normal for EF to dump their ethereum to pay for their operational costs and continue their R&D.

240  Economy / Economics / Re: Did Trump - Harris debate really affect Bitcoin's price? on: September 13, 2024, 06:20:32 AM
Yesterday Bitcoin's price was a little down and I was reading on many websites that it was caused because of the Trump-Harris debate. Today as we see, Bitcon's price is up and reached 58K USD but today also crypto news websites publish that the reason behind crypto price recovery is the result of Trump-Harris debate where Harris won in many polls.

Harris has ruined Trump's day in their last debate. But that news was fake.

In fact, in my opinion, BTC was green due to the positive outcome from S&P 500



BTC is tied to it.

Do you also think that this is true? The crypto community expects a positive impact from Trump and since Trump lost, if the debate was the reason for the price dip yesterday, then it shouldn't be up today because Harris won the poll.

I think that's not true. But the result from the debate was impacting MAGA token a lot. MAGA is tied to Trump's performance in his campaign.

Is this true or do crypto news websites use this debate as a clickbait?

It's true. Crypto news websites used it as clickbait to get more visitors.
