Arsenal even currently has the same number of points as Liverpool. So they are currently at the top of the standings without any comfort. Because Arsenal leads the standings only because they have an advantage in goal difference compared to Liverpool. Liverpool's condition of always having injured players seems to have become a habit that Klopp faces. And Klopp can always handle it. And Pep is the same. Pep has always been able to maintain Man City's performance even though several of their important players have suffered injuries. So Arsenal cannot afford to be careless at this time. Arsenal must continue to fight harder to maintain their position at the top of the current standings. Because just one defeat or even one draw is achieved by Arsenal, this has the potential to throw them straight back to 3rd place.
These three teams are in their best performance and are on their best trend. Even though several Liverpool players were injured, Klopp was able to overcome them. The real proof, when facing Man City, they were able to hold a draw even though Man City appeared at full strength. Arsenal this season seems to have learned from last season, they don't want to be careless again in the remaining matches this season. All opponents should not be underestimated.

Looking at the current EPL league standings, this season the EPL league is very tense and every week's matches are important for the three teams. Moreover, the competition involves three teams, Arsenal Liverpool and Man City, the slightest mistake could be a disaster, losing or drawing will definitely affect the players' mentality. This season's EPl League could be said to be very interesting, not only is the fight for the EPL league trophy, but the fight for 4th place for UCL tickets is also no less exciting, namely between Aston Villa and Tottenham. and Manchester United.

Meanwhile, for the Arsenal vs Porto match, even though the match only ended in a penalty shootout. And Arsenal succeeded in winning. But I think that Porto is really strong. Their defense was completely unshakable. But I know all that thanks to the senior defender and can also be said to be the legendary defender from Portugal, namely Pepe. He helps coordinate the defense well. And I am amazed that he is no longer young but he is still able to become an irreplaceable defender.

I didn't think Porto could play this well. Even they can make it difficult for Arsenal. The possession of the ball is also not much different, which means that Porto also plays open. It even seems that Porto play more effectively, he can make 3 shots on target while Arsenal can only 4 shots on target. Of course, this victory destroyed the bad tradition of failing to enter the quarterfinals. They had to wait 14 years to enter the quarterfinals.
You underated Porto thats why. Porto is a one time Champions League winner. They are tough as hell, with strong defense and incredible attackers. Arsenal had a tough time in the game. Untill Trossard the Hero came for Arsenal rescue at the 41 minute. I dont know but obviously history just repeated itself again. I could remember when Arsenal played against Manchester City in the community shield final. Manchester City were leading with 1 goal untill Trossard scored to equalize the game. It ended up in a penalty shootout were Arsenal won the cup.
Correct. I don't think they understand what good defense looks like. Porto played fantastic defence, that doesn't mean Arsenal played badly. In this second leg we have to give credit to Porto, they are an experienced European team who are well trained and able to defend well but Arsenal showed mental strength and continued to win.

It must be admitted that in this match Porto played good defense. Arsenal did not play an attacking game with high intensity because Porto were good at stopping it. Porto did everything they could to disrupt Arsenal's game. In the first leg, Porto limited Arsenal from taking shots on target, but this team was free to score goals in the away game. Give credit where it is due. For me, both teams played well so that a penalty shootout was the last choice they took which gave Arsenal the right to advance to the next round.

You're just one of the many that have forgotten their private keys and didn't care that much about the Bitcoin that they've held. Just like the guy that had his old harddrive wanting to be dug up on an old sanitary field but that's no luck at all because that has been dumped there for years. Also, another guy that had forgotten his password to his wallet that contains a lot of bitcoins too and IIRC, he's got 2 attempts left or else it will completely gone forever. I think that in the old days, everyone didn't expect that Bitcoin will grow this much so, they didn't protected themselves by having a backup.
Correct. Of the many people I have seen losing bitcoin because they forgot their private key both on this forum and on YouTube and other media, they were those who got to know bitcoin when it was still cheap and getting it was also a little easier, starting from faucets, mining, etc. So they didn't think that Bitcoin would be as expensive as it is now, so at that time many of them didn't think that private key security was very important. I would probably be like them if I were in their position, so it's not surprising that if Bitcoin experiences an increase or reaches a new ATH then stories like this will always reappear, maybe because they want to remember their regrets and also make us realize how important it is to protect private keys with safe.

All these stories are lessons for everyone, both true and fictional stories. But the point remains one, protect your private keys like you protect your life.

Are investors investing in Bitcoin at ATH now are fools ?  Is there chance of major correction from here as prices have already peaked now.

Does people who invested in 2017 ATH fools? Or the ones that did it two years ago fools?
Basically everyone invested in Bitcoin at the time of the current ATH made profit since they could sell Bitcoin more than the price they bought it for.
Bitcoin drove all the market up and many cryptocurrencies made a record price which is good for everyone Wink
I agree with what you said. Investing in bitcoin during ATH is not stupid, look at the history of bitcoin over time, do they look stupid, do they regret not buying bitcoin at that time or regret selling bitcoin at that time. This also applies at the moment, btc in the last few days has just formed a new ATH, but many people predict bitcoin will continue to increase as the bitcoin halving period approaches. Currently the halving has not happened, bitcoin has formed a new ATH, of course the real ATH has not been reached, so don't ever say buying bitcoin now is a stupid act, in fact they are preparing for a better future, unless you doubt the future of bitcoin.
225  Economy / Economics / Re: If being a graduate is the key to being wealthy, why are there poor graduates? on: March 12, 2024, 10:23:56 PM
well, wealth is not based on graduation. In fact, many people are still poor or do not find work after they graduate. What makes people rich is the ability they have and the hard work they put in. No matter how good a person's abilities are, and even how good his graduation is, if he is lazy, he will experience setbacks.
After all, graduation is only the foundation for developing the skills we have, and it is proof that we may be experts in a field. However, what makes everything run smoothly is how capable you are and how hard you work to achieve your goals.
Agree. Graduation is a different matter, it indicates that he has studied. so that graduation can bring you closer to possible success. To be successful you have to go through college, this is also not certain. There are many paths to success, one of which is graduation. In a more global context, the meaning of success itself is too broad, it is not always money, a doctor who chooses to serve in a remote area, lives simply, can benefit other people with his knowledge, this could also be wealth for them in their life journey.

But on the other hand, I also really agree with art/design or programming jobs, because they learn without having formal education or having graduated but can still be self-taught. because currently there are lots of them scattered on YouTube, Udemy, Coursera, etc., especially in the digital era like now. But there are some jobs that I think require at least some appropriate formal education, especially in healthcare or engineering for safety reasons. However, of all things, the most basic thing to achieve success is hard work and not giving up easily.
226  Economy / Economics / Re: Technology and work ethics on: March 12, 2024, 10:03:22 PM
What's your view about this?
In my opinion, installing CCTV as surveillance is very reasonable in a company environment because as time goes by, CCTV seems to have become a necessity for a company or office. Because it is proven by the number of criminal acts or other negative things, CCTV is very important even if it is installed in the employees' rooms as employees. Not without reason, CCTV installation has become a necessity as a security tool in companies. Especially in large companies, installing CCTV has become an option and a mandatory requirement to improve security and surveillance.

Because the benefits of CCTV apart from monitoring and security, having CCTV will also prevent crime, provide evidence for legal cases and of course save security costs. So a company that installs CCTV in every employee's room does not violate privacy and ethics. However, if CCTV is installed in the bathroom it will violate privacy and of course there is no ethics.
227  Economy / Economics / Re: Banking on people's ideas, visions, and talents. on: March 12, 2024, 09:43:05 PM
Indeed, there are many people like that in this world now because not everyone has the same ability to realize their dreams through the ideas that are already in their heads. Some people who have not been able to implement their best ideas so far are actually not only influenced by the small amount of capital they have, but are also hampered by the difficulty of getting the right place with a good opportunity to start.

So some people who have the opportunity and the right place to run a business will look for ways to get some capital and also the bright ideas they need to be able to run an extraordinary business. So all of these things will of course be very different from one person to another because the opportunities and places will not always be the same for everyone.
Yes that's right. Every person in this world is different, some have talents and ideas but no capital or vice versa. then both people must collaborate with each other in order to achieve success. So as an investor, sometimes you have to use many people's ideas to achieve success in your business. Opportunities and places are not always the same, but both can be combined to achieve success. It's just about time and having the opportunity.
228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 11, 2024, 06:46:07 PM
About Roma and this game, that's much that's just being lucky. In fact, they have had good performances since De Rossi started working at Roma and his performance even made the fans happy to see their team get good results in the Serie A games which can even put Roma to be in a better place at the table if they can continue this good performance in the next games.
But in the game between Roma and Fiorentina, Roma was really lucky to get a draw in this match because Fiorentina had many more gaol opportunities than Roma, especially in the first half of the game when Roma was totally shocked by the good performance by Fiorentina.


I don't think it was luck, this draw was the result of De Rossi's ingenuity in making substitutions so he could score a goal to make it a draw. This draw is of course very good for As Roma, currently they are only three points behind Bologna. Of course, the potential for As Roma to overtake Bologna could happen in the next few weeks. Since being coached by De Rossi who replaced Mourinho, As Roma has performed better, it could be that next season As Roma will be even stronger.

Under De Rossi's tutelage, goalkeeper Mile Svilar continues to be a starter so his performance is getting better. When Mourinho became coach of As Roma he trusted Rui Patricio more to play, for me it is time for Rui Patricio to move next season and be replaced by someone younger. The reason is, Roma since being coached by De Rossi has continued to develop from 12 matches, only losing once to Inter, and that is natural because Inter this season is too strong in Serie A.

Having a narrow lead of one goal in the first leg is still not necessarily safe for FC Porto in the second leg which they will play tomorrow. Because Arsenal is also a quite dangerous team when playing in the Champions League with the motivation of being the host, FC Porto still has to try to score a goal in the second leg even though they also have to make a fairly good defensive strategy because if the lead is still very small, of course FC Porto themselves must be aware that they still need to fight hard at home to Arsenal.
Correct. One goal ahead of Arsenal does not guarantee that Porto is safe, of course this second leg match will be the biggest test for Porto to defend their back line so as not to concede because of course Arsenal will appear to attack from the start.

Moreover, Arsenal is currently on a trend of 4 consecutive wins at home, all of which occurred in the domestic league. From these 4 wins, Arsenal managed to score 14 goals and only conceded 3 goals. So overall this season Arsenal have played 18 home games. Arsenal achieved 14 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Of course, these statistics mean that Porto will come under a lot of pressure from Arsenal, they will not easily escape at Arsenal's home ground. So my prediction in the second leg of the last 16 of the UCL League will be Arsenal's struggle to overturn the aggregate, the match will be won by Arsenal with a score of 3-1.
230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: March 11, 2024, 05:48:04 PM
With 8 matches remaining, it is certain that Girona will secure a ticket to the Champions League next season. This is a truly extraordinary achievement and I have huge respect for Girona for their outstanding performance this season. I hope they can maintain their position and finish as runners-up in La Liga. They will play in the Champions League next season. Club management must work hard to build the club to be better and more solid next season. They will compete in the Champions League and therefore they really need several new players to rotate in every match. I saw Girona performing well at the start of the season but they lacked squad depth so they lost a lot in the second half of the season.
Yes of course. Girona this season has appeared very impressive since the start of the season until now their target of entering the top four has been achieved. And now they are only maintaining second place until the end of the season even though it is tough because Barcelona is slowly starting to catch up on points from Girona, who are currently only one point behind. Girona being in third place is also an extraordinary achievement, especially being able to compete for La Liga runners-up until the end of the season.

But what I'm afraid of next season is that if they don't bring in quality players then they will fall back into the middle of the standings, even in the UCL League they will fail in the group phase. Usually that's the case, because all the coaches at other clubs will have a lot to learn about how to stop Girona's tactics. This often happens to lower level clubs who suddenly find themselves at the top of the league. Just look at Wofsburg 2008/2009 in Germany, Leicester City 2015/2016. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico next season will still dominate the top four in La Liga.
231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 11, 2024, 02:58:37 PM
36 games; 103 goals and 0 losses in total.... This is just an insane form by Leverkusen.  Shocked  The impact Xabi Alonso has made on this team is just huge. It is really hard to describe.

Bayern Munich got a whopping 8-1 win against Mainz last week maybe but this hasn't changed anything about the gap with Leverkusen in the standings anyway. The only thing Bayern Munich can do to complete the season and move on in their life with their second position. Even that position is under the threat of Stuttgart a little as the gap is only four points. But I assume Bayern Munich wouldn't lose their current placement at least.
So true. The sad reality is, even if they “come back” and even win by a landslide with a fantastic score, it won't make much difference in the Bundesliga. Their points deficit is so big that I don't think they can catch Bayern Leverkusen in first place.

Indeed, Bayern Munich's performance is very good. This could be the turning point of Bayern's season. they started playing much better than before and the absent players returned from injuries. If they can maintain their good performance, I think they can perform optimally in the UCL League because in the UCL League there is still the possibility of getting a trophy, and that should be their goal now rather than thinking about the Bundesliga where it is almost impossible to catch up on points with Leverkusen.
232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 11, 2024, 02:42:50 PM
Indeed for several seasons now Arsenal has not been able to win the premier League, so just like you said there efforts and determination last season was very impressive but there hard luck on wining the premier League still follows them even if they have managed to top the league again, so I think I will agree with those that said Arsenal will not be able to win the premier League this season even if they are currently on the top position because one thing about Arsenal in terms like this when you feel they have stabilize there performance then they will surprise you in the next minutes by losing form so for now we cannot conclude there stand.
Arsenal looks like this season will extend its failure to lift the EPL trophy, even though it is currently in first place, but is very vulnerable to dropping again. In the remaining 10 matches, Arsenal is more difficult than their two rivals Man City and Liverpool. Of these 10 matches, Arsenal will still face Man City, MU, Tottenham, Chelsea and Aston Villa, all of which have the potential to lose points for Arsenal.

To be able to force victory on a team like this, you need a strong mentality and you must try to pursue goals quickly so as not to reduce the winning mentality to being a loser. If they fail to score goals in crucial minutes, it will be a heavy burden for Arsenal players. Indeed, in football anything can happen, but looking at Arsenal's remaining matches, it seems difficult for Arsenal to win the EPL league trophy.

I would guess a great deal of gamblers lost money because of the poor result Real Madrid got against Leipzig, because even if they were able to move to the next round, this is not really the performance that we were expecting out of a team that is looking to win the UCL, especially when their rivals were able to get convincing wins during the second leg, so Real Madrid better get their act together or they may lose their chance at getting the title.
I also thought that about Real Madrid after seeing the results of Real Madrid's matches and also the results of the matches of the team that won the Champions League trophy last season. Even though the levels of the teams they were playing against were also very different, at least Real Madrid were able to score more than one goal, even though just one could have taken them to the next round of the Champions League. I think Manchester City will still be a strong candidate in the Champions League this season if you look at the way they have played which is still quite good so far.
Correct. I'm also sure that before this match started, many gamblers were betting that Real Madrid could beat Leipzig, not without reason because the match was played at the Santiago Bernabeu. But unfortunately, in this match Real Madrid caused many gamblers to lose their bets.

It must be admitted, in this match Ancelotti almost made a blunder because he underestimated his opponent, while the visiting team played very well in that match. Luckily for Real Madrid, with this draw they still qualified for the next round. In the future, Ancelotti must change tactics and not use tactics like that again because it was clear that in that match Jude Belingham seemed confused, Jude Belingham's movements were also unclear so it would not be surprising if he looked tired and was pulled out by Ancelotti. Real Madrid must really improve the quality of their game, because the problem is that the opponents they will face in the last eight are getting stronger and the opponent could be Manchester City.
236  Economy / Speculation / Re: Dont sell because you feel like selling, give it another thought. on: March 07, 2024, 08:46:37 AM
Everyone's investment goals are different, if they sell because they have made a big profit, why not? for example, they buy bitcoin when the price is still discounted when the price is $20k and sell it at $60k for other purposes such as buying a house and other urgent needs.

So we also cannot urge someone not to sell bitcoin because people's needs are certainly different, in essence investing is to make a profit. If they feel the profits they have are sufficient then there is no problem selling some. However, it would be better to remain Hold if there is no urgent need or anything else because Hold is a brilliant move at this time, the reason is clear that bitcoin has not yet formed a new ATH and it is very likely that bitcoin will reach $100k then the profits we get will continue to increase.
237  Economy / Speculation / Re: What happens if bitcoin price hits 6 figures and up? on: March 07, 2024, 08:28:13 AM
Maybe your post is near to find answers because Bitcoin is not getting closer to that reality
of price , now that its closing to 70k then the next target would be 80/90/100k$ and if those happens
then we will see what will happen to bitcoin and the whole crypto market.
This will definitely happen, we just need time and that time will definitely come as the Halving period in April approaches. Yesterday the price of bitcoin almost formed a new ATH with an all-time high price of $67k, it is not impossible that in the near future we will see the price of bitcoin reach six digits. Of course, the higher the price of bitcoin, the more people become millionaires.

So there isn't an issue where if btc goes very high, like 6 figures and up and maybe even 7 figures... well there would be too many rich people and too much millionaires?
not sure about that 7 figures but yes there must be more millionaire if happens.
In the near future I also doubt prices will reach seven figures, although anything can happen in crypto because no one can predict it. But for me this seven digit number will probably be formed in the next cycle.

Through out last year I find it hard to get things done with funds despite how my earning was and I find it hard to spend more on my bills around me , though I have been seeing some humans earning and paying bills with one source of income and I do ask myself how is it done

please your advice will be of help
Indeed, basically when we experience financial problems we will feel stressed and worried. Financial problems like the ones you are experiencing can certainly be experienced by anyone without exception. Anyone will be confused about how to overcome financial problems if this happens, such as having lots of bills but only getting one income.

What you need to do now is be good at managing your finances, both income and expenses must be balanced. Don't just keep silent if you feel that your financial condition is not good, you must be sensitive and try to find solutions to stabilize your finances again. look for another job that can provide additional income. Apart from the main job, part-time work also has a big role in improving finances. What's more, the conditions you are currently experiencing are really necessary to cover the bills, so don't be too picky in your work. Get involved and pursue work that suits your abilities.

Currently, many people are looking for freelance services that you can do anywhere without disturbing your main job, or maybe you can do direct work such as using the internet to find additional income without disturbing your main job.

Of course every couple will support each other if in making decisions we ask them for advice and if a woman does not support everything their partner does, of course there are problems that they did not decide together and that makes the woman not follow the advice their partner decides. When it is time to give birth, it certainly requires a lot of money to prepare for the birth and if their financial condition is in good condition, there will certainly not be any disputes and if their financial condition is not in good condition, it will certainly be very difficult to find the cost of giving birth and women will of course always feel worried about their future if it cannot be fulfilled.
Yes, exactly. Investing in bitcoin is good for the future, but don't damage your investment goals in the wrong way. If we have a family and are married, of course financial decisions are the result of joint decisions because if not, it will worsen household relationships in the future. So be wise in investing in Bitcoin, don't ignore our partner's opinion, especially if he doesn't agree, educate him in a good way until he really knows what we are aiming for.

Especially when it comes to celebrating a wedding anniversary, of course for women this is very important and must be celebrated because this moment occurs once a year. Even if you want to take advantage of Bitcoin (bull-run), you need to communicate well with your wife. If he doesn't agree, don't force it. Because what is certain is that it is never too late to invest in bitcoin, it cannot be today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you can still invest in bitcoin because bitcoin is a long-term investment.
