Sounds more like profiting from other people's suffering, i know most war create an opportunity for some people to make money because the demand for certain things will increase, maybe this is the reason why continues war is been fought from this part of the war, and it signifies the importance of oil to every country, those who don't naturally have are fighting for it, those who have don't want to lose hold of it.
Any war is the suffering of people and in any war there are people who earn money from it and nothing can be done about it, because this is capitalism and the market, no matter how we feel about it. In history, there are many cases when individual families became fabulously rich on military orders, when the countries themselves destroyed their economies due to military actions and many people became poor. With all the current technological changes, oil is still important as a fuel and as a raw material for the production of various products, and the sale of oil still makes a good contribution to the budget of countries, so there are reasons for such wars or at least the deliberate retention of a state of instability in the oil regions, and the major world powers contribute to this, pursuing their own selfish interests. |

We've all here having assumptions about him which I don't think it's true.
However, this already happened before, it’s just that it wasn’t Elon Musk and the people that did this didn't do it with their personal accounts, they used people to troll. I'm pertaining with the whales possibly more powerful than Elon Musk.
I think this one is a wake-up call from Elon Musk. He might have a hidden agenda that would teach us how to decide better, handle our emotions, and not be carried away with public stunts. It's being said multiple times already, always get along with the whales, as for now, they have the right to drive the Bitcoin. Wait for your turn to become one soon and you’ll do the same, whatever the reason, just keep it on hold.
The point is that this has happened before, and it is Elon Musk; D It is just that Elon Musk has been trolling like this for several times, and in the past he had problems with the regulator about the impact of his statements about Tesla shares and had to resign as chairman of the board of directors and personally pay a fine of $ 20 million. So I wouldn't be surprised if the financial authorities turn their attention to Musk again, this time because of the cryptocurrency market. And of course, you should not hang all the dogs on Musk (  ) for the current fall in the price of bitcoin, especially then he clarified his statement, and the market was just waiting for an excuse to adjust and fix profits, but the black business of the tweet was done and the market fell. |

Moving to any club will not guarantee Mbappe to get the champions title. Just look at what happened to Ibrahimovic, changing clubs since he was at Juventus, until today he never felt the UCL title that was his dream. Likewise with Mbappe, even though he moves to Madrid, MU or anywhere else, the chances are the same, what is worrying is that he doesn't get many opportunities to play because of the many choices of players his new club on the bench and making him as second options.
I think that a player of Mbappe's level is unlikely to be on the bench at any club, whether it is Real Madrid or Manchester United, because I am not sure that the competitors will look stronger, and a large salary will force you to put a player constantly in the main squad. Remember the situation with Thibaut Courtois at Real Madrid, when the Belgian was still put in the squad, despite all his mistakes in the first time and refused to play well Keylor Navas. But now Courtois lives up to the trust and big salary and brilliantly saves Real Madrid on many occasions. As far as I understand, Mbappe is likely to move to Real Madrid and I do not think that it is specifically for the sake of winning the Champions League. |

After all, victory is the absolute result that Atletico madrid have had to win in the next matches. Valladolid may be just a small team, but they still have a chance to stay in La Liga if they win the game. Atletico players must pay attention to this spirit, because it could be that the motivation of the Valladolid players will make them succeed in thwarting the chance to win that is in sight. remember about Liverpool and City few years ago when the title need to be choosen on the last mast of the season, liverpool failed because they are lose and city win the match. this can be the reason if RM can be the winner.
So let's see who has the stronger motivation and will to win - the team claiming the title or the team fighting for survival  The squad at Atletico is stronger, so you need to take your own and play your own game. I think that with the motivation of Atletico Madrid, everything should be in order, because the players should understand that in the next 5 or even 10 years there may not be a similar chance anymore, if Real Madrid and Barcelona solve their current problems with the game and the squad. Although of course, the luck factor should not be ignored either, because an accidental goal from Valladolid can break the whole logic of the game and the team can then try to catch Atletico on the counterattack. But I think Atletico will take the title. |

I am a little surprised if it turns out that this season's UCL final will be moved to Portugal, and making Estádio do Dragão as host of this final, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic that is currently threatening, UEFA made this decision in order to bring 6000 fans to the stadium. Didn't this cause chaos in the country at the end of the game? The British government simply did not want to meet UEFA halfway and relax the requirements for incoming guests so that they do not comply with the quarantine, as well as increase the number of spectators. And Portugal, unlike Turkey, is not on the red list of the UK authorities and you only need to pass 2 tests for coronavirus to enter and leave. Moreover, last year Portugal did a great job in organizing the final tournament of the Champions League and this year the authorities gave all the necessary guarantees. Also, I am not sure that chaos will reign throughout the country because of 12 thousand fans, it seems that the English fans are not as boundless as before |

Liverpool's alive, confirmed! It's gonna be a point by point challenge against Chelsea!
1 point may be enough for Chelsea to keep the fourth place but this means the blues can't lose a single game until the end because Liverpool will win every remaining game.
Yepp !! when you look at the League ranking table, with only two rounds remaining at the end of the season. Tomorrow Chelsea will host Leicester_City and whatever the result Liverpool is the first to benefit from it !! After the dramatic victory for Liver yesterday, it made sure that there is nothing taken for granted especially when on paper is an easy match, and therefore the chances are equal between the three clubs to win only two seats in the Champions League . My prediction for Chelsea and Leicester match is we going to see both teams to score since in the cup final Chelsea got chances but didn't score while Leicester have been showing strength upfront How much in the game as in life depends on just one moment. Just imagine what everyone would be talking about now if Alisson had not scored his magic goal in the 95th minute and how the mood of the Liverpool fans immediately changed Liverpool were very lucky yesterday, and also lucky that Leicester and Chelsea play each other, another question is that Liverpool need to win their matches more confidently, because next time the defenders will be more closely watching Alisson, who came into the penalty area, and not as the number 5 West Brom slept through the moment. I think the Chelsea-Leicester game will be a draw. |

I think the economy after the covid-19 pandemic will be severely affected. The covid 19 epidemic causes countries to close their borders. Commercial transactions were delayed, tourism service industries were completely bankrupt. Unemployment is increasing and the economy is weakened. Many companies have gone bankrupt... so it is necessary to prevent the covid 19 pandemic soon so that the world economy can recover.
It is useless to prevent a pandemic, because it is already underway and has been going on for the second year. It will be possible to talk about any full recovery of the economy only after the end of the pandemic, at least in most countries. Because of the pandemic, tourism has suffered very much, so tourist countries are trying by all means to ease entry restrictions, because the tourist business may not survive the second year of severe restrictions. There seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel in the form of vaccination of a large proportion of the population, but the international tourism business will recover in a few years, because it is worth considering that the pandemic has also hit the income of the population hard. Let's hope that humanity will meet the autumn period fully armed and the states will finally really stop the pandemic. |

I have been reading about that topic but like always it is a difficult one, if the governments forced the waive of the vaccine patents so other companies can create the vaccine if the virus keeps mutating even further there is the possibility the pharmaceutical industry will just refuse to keep investing money into improving their vaccine arguing their rights were violated and that they did not got their rightful profits, this could slowdown the development of new vaccines and eventually be even worse than the scenario we have now.
Speaking of the pharmaceutical industry and patents for inventions in this area, I would like to say the following. What prevents government agencies from organizing and financing pharmaceutical research from the same pharmaceutical companies, but then the fruits of their work remain in the ownership of the state or in public use, and not in private hands. I am a big supporter of the market economy and private initiative, and I am skeptical of any attempts by the state to get into business and engage in entrepreneurial activity, but there are areas of national importance, and issues of health or even life and death are undoubtedly included here, where the interests of the state and society are more important than the laws of business. |

Chinese Yuan is one of the most manipulated currencies in the world and there is no reason for anyone to suspect that the Digital Yuan will be any better. Within China, there will be some acceptability for this new CBDC, but why should anyone outside China use this currency? And there is zero chance that any of the Bitcoin users in China or in other countries would shift to Digital Yuan, since Bitcoin is much superior in comparison.
It really doesn't make sense that Bitcoin users will switch to using Digital Yuan, because in fact there is no strong reason why everyone outside China should use Digital Yuan. But if many Chinese citizens use Digital Yuan I can still understand. Even though China is a big country, I don't believe China can make the Digital Yuan for international transactions. So it is impossible that China will rule the world with Digital Yuan. The question is certainly debatable, but I would say a little differently about the manipulation of the yuan, namely that the Chinese authorities are more intruding into the area of exchange rate pricing of the yuan than the authorities of other countries, where the issue of other world reserve currencies comes from. I also believe that there is no reason to compare the use of the digital yuan and bitcoin, because in the first case we are talking about a centralized fiat currency of a sovereign state and there is no contact on the application, because I am not sure that the Chinese authorities will calmly look and allow the tweets of some businessman to raise the exchange price of the yuan by 1000 percent or vice versa. Therefore, it is quite strange and ridiculous to talk about the transition of bitcoin users from different countries to the digital yuan, these are completely different things. |

Barcelona keep messing their chances of winning the League, they lose their match today to Celta Vigo and now 5 points behind Real Madrid.
They won only one, out of their last 5 matches, lose 2 and tied two. In order to remain in the top 4, they need to win their last match which is against Eibar.
Atletico Madrid probably won their match today against Osasuna, it was an interesting match. Osasuna was the first to goal 75 minutes in the second half, but to my greatest surprise, Atletico Madrid won the match with a 2-1 score. They have one more match to win in order to carry the LA Liga trophy this season.
I think that Koeman's loss has reduced the chances of remaining in charge of the team for the next season to very little, because it is already turning into a system where Barcelona opens the scoring, but then loses points. It is not a fact that Messi will also stay at the club, but unlike last year, Lionel at least wants to listen to the conditions of Barcelona, and only then make a decision about his future career. There was information about the search by Messi's representatives for housing in Paris, as well as other information about Messi's desire to receive 25 million pounds in Manchester. Atletico were pleased with their will to win when, after conceding a goal fifteen minutes before the end of regular time, Madrid's players turned the match in their favor. Now we can say with absolute certainty that the championship cup will remain in Madrid |

Napoli once more fought back and secured its position for the Champions League qualifier. The most pressing question will be what happens to Juventus Turin should they miss the Champions League?
Can you guys imagine Ronaldo kicking in the UEFA European League next year? I highly doubt he would even consider doing that? Pirlo's time will probably come to an end if he fails to qualify for the UCL. It may not be fair but missing the UCL is hard not only for the club, but also for the fans and all superstars. Who knows what's left of Juve in 6 weeks from now?
Let me fix this: Napoli secured temporarily a position for CL since if they lose their next game and Inter get a draw + Juve win then they are out. For Juve, regarding Milan wasting 2 precious points and facing Atalanta next, then what a luck Pirlo has! Unless Napoli winning and Atalanta playing with its second team and their goalkeeper as striker, then getting a CL spot should be very possible for Juve. Juventus may miss the Champions League for another non-sporting reason, because the story with the Super League is still not over, Juventus has not announced its withdrawal from it, so it is not entirely clear how UEFA can punish the club. On the sporting side, of course, the big news is that Milan couldn't win against Cagliari, although I think Pirlo would have preferred Napoli to lose points against Fiorentina and leave Juventus in fourth place before the last round. And now it turns out that not everything depends on Juventus and a loss of points from Milan or Naples is necessary. It is symptomatic that Pioli does not rule out Milan's non-appearance in the top four and does not consider it a failure. |

You can't expect people to stop complaining just yet. Hundreds of thousands of lives are lost, companies and small-businesses are closed off and went down the drain because of the cripping detriments the virus had brought in its wake. The least you can do is to have empathy for those who have lost everything but are still trying their best to carry on with their lives with no hope for tomorrow because they literally lost everything.
I absolutely agree with you that it is difficult to expect unrestrained optimism in this tragic situation, and this optimism is completely inappropriate. On the other hand, you can not constantly deal with endless complaints and in the end it is necessary to pull yourself together and understand the inexorable truth that life goes on and you need to try to find the very hope for tomorrow that will allow you to overcome all the difficulties that have come. Because COVID will eventually pass and the economy will start to recover back and still have to pick up the pieces of your life for the sake of something better in the future. |

As we do not all think and feel the same. There are people who do a job for the money they are going to earn as well as there are others who love to work without knowing how much they will earn. The dedication to the work makes their efforts more valued and therefore receive a better reward.
Sometimes society gives us no better alternative than to work on what we can and not on what we want.
Such people who are ready to work just like that without knowing the amount of earnings are units, and even then it is still necessary that the salary for your work at least covers your basic needs, because any person needs to live somewhere, eat something, pay utility costs. On the other hand, if you are engaged in an unloved business solely for money, then this can destroy your psyche and attitude and can lead to something bad in the end. Therefore, money can serve as your boss, but it is still desirable that this boss is not the only one and he has companions |

How can? Juventus is already in the top 4 right now. It actually depends on Napoli. If Napoli cannot win against Fiorentina today, then Juventus is safe for the UCL spot temporarily. But if Napoli can win today, Juventus should wait for the last match to try their luck for the UCL spot. For me, the chance of Juventus getting the UCL spot is 50 percent.
Milan and Napoli still need to play their games. For example, tomorrow Napoli will play with Fiorentina and since they are in their safe spot their coach already said that he will play with players who played less during the season. This is SerieA, the Mafia against Juventus. Juventus just had to win their matches or at least not lose to Milan on their own field Therefore, now we have to worry about the interest of rivals in games with competitors for the coveted four. Especially given the current difficult financial situation, Juventus needs to participate in the Champions League, especially considering at least Ronaldo's salary. Not for nothing was the information that Juventus asked the players of the club for a delay in the payment of wages for four months. However, in the championship Inter such a difficult situation and that is why Conte does not want to say anything about his future at the club. |

Yeah congrats Leicester for winning their first FA Cup ever. Wouldn't talk about VAR or anything else, Chelsea has to get their revenge from Leicester in the next game in EPL and try to secure a CL spot for the next season.
Chelsea's next game against Leicester in the EPL is a very important one for them, cause they have to finish in the top four, they also have an opportunity to qualify for next seasons UCL by winning the trophy this season, but it's going to be pretty difficult for Chelsea to beat City on the 29th of this month in the final, so to avoid missing out on Champions football next season, Chelsea have to take their next two EPL games as 'finals'. Having said that, I think Chelsea were too defensive in this match (they started too many defensive minded players) playing against Leicester, I expected them to attack better and freely, but they were content to just defend and maybe try counter attacks, it was pretty poor in my opinion. Chelsea were afraid to take too many risks and paid the price when Thielemans blew the game and scored his crazy goal and only then did Chelsea really enter the game, but Schmeichel played a couple of times smartly. And then there was a goal from Chilwell, a Leicester graduate through Morgan's legs, but cancelled out by VAR for offside. It's funny, but Chelsea in the match with the famous Real Madrid and in the match of the final for the FA Cup are completely different teams and therefore we need to urgently change in the run-up to another major final. And I want to congratulate Leicester on the first FA Cup and how nice it is when the Underdogs take the titles. |

He made doge successful even if it's not his coin. Creating a coin is easy today and if Elon would do he could bring its price to the top too. I doesn't sound very amusing to see him troll around other coins and then create a coin of his own. His team will have a hard time figuring which kind of project and problem to solve for the use case of the coin.
Nothing surprising, just light trolling is Elon Musk's style of communication with the outside world Just after all these stories with dogcoin and bitcoin, creating your own coin was a logical step to continue. By the way, the refusal to accept bitcoins as payment for Tesla cars really fits perfectly into this paradigm, only it is strange that it was done quite suddenly without any preparatory actions, but who knows, maybe preparatory actions have already been taken. Therefore, I would not be surprised if in the near future it will be announced about some coin with environmental mining from Elon Musk. |

It seems to me that some people are underestimating the effects of the back to back losses of Man United to their momentum leading to the league's Final. It affects both the players and the manager. It's going to be a highly tactical game and I'm particularly interested on what changes Ole will make against Villareal.
The way I see it, Ole is just saving everything for the big game later this month. There's no point putting everything in pursuit of a Premier league title that Manchester City has already won. At least a lot of United fans would agree with me on that. So those losses don't really matter that much except they still end up losing to Villarreal in the UEL final. That would be way worst. Manchester United players understand what's at stake for that final enough not to let premier loss to a rival club like Liverpool hurt their mentality and ego. Not worth it. I believe Ole would throw everything at Villarreal in a bis to win his first major title as a Man Utd manager. You'd be surprised. My expectations are high. You will probably be surprised, but Villarreal will also throw all their strength to win the Europa League, especially if Manchester United already have such a cup, then Villarreal also wants to lift the coveted cup over their heads as a winner. The opposite is true for the coaches, because while this may be Solskjaer's first major title, Emery has already won the Europa League three times with Sevilla. Therefore, for the diversity and spirit of the game, it would be more useful that if the Champions League Cup goes to England, then the UEFA Cup would go to Spain |

No matter how great Ronaldo is, of course he will not be able to do much if there is no team cohesiveness, and like you, I also think that Andrea Pirlo is the beginning of Juventus destruction this season, in my opinion Juventus, who was previously coached by Maurizio Sarri, is quite consistent even though last season only able to finish on 16 champion leagues, even so Juventus was able to win the 2019/20 season sscudetto, but unfortunately Juventus management at that time made a pretty bad decision when sacking Maurizio Sarri and replacing him with Andrea Pirlo, whose coaching experience is still questionable and from several sources that I have read mentioning that Andrea Pirlo at that time had not even completed his coaching course at all, I think that no matter how great a player who plays at Juventus today will not be able to make Juventus champion if trained by a coach who does not have any experience in training a club as big as Juventus.
The amazing thing is, in the last championship, Sarri did not suit many as the head coach of Juventus, but now it suddenly turns out that this was not the worst option Andrea Agnelli just set up Pirlo when a coach with absolutely no experience tries to lead a team with such ambitions as Juventus. Pirlo should have done the same as Xavi did when he refused to take charge of Barcelona, feeling a lack of experience. Whatever we say about Ronaldo, but the Portuguese continues to do his job properly and is constantly among the top scorers of the Italian championship, just with all due respect to Juventus, the club is inferior to Barcelona or Real Madrid, where Ronaldo left at the time. |

The existence of the covid-19 pandemic have brought us humans to think of the alternatives since we cannot do the usual things that we do on a normal day when the pandemic is still not existing. We have adapted into the situation forcing us to work remotely and make use the advent of the modern technology to still continue our lives even we are keeping it from a distant since close contact from one another can make the distribution of the virus to get worst. Maybe we can conclude that we are being pushed through the modern future because of this happening but still a lot have been sacrificed and still many cannot adapt into the fast phase of changes now that we are mostly relying into modern technology.
I wouldn't say that we are pushed through and I like the word alternative much more since the technology already exist, I believe that our technology is already pretty advanced pre-pandemic, the only reason that it didn't appear like that is because people love to ignore things and our emotions are pretty primitive so we can't advance that fast because we always care about the little things. All these alternatives are needed while there is a pandemic, but it is not a fact that they will be so much needed to such an extent later, so we need to talk with great caution about changes in the way of life of human civilization after the pandemic. Yes, of course, all these remote and digital information technologies will play an even greater role in our lives, but still let's not forget that a person is a social being and nothing can replace direct physical contact between people. I am also afraid that some areas of the economy and technology, on the contrary, will be thrown back due to the COVID 19 pandemic, so everything is not so clear. |

The reason why they decided to drop Tesla car purchases on bitcoin is quite noble and true to what Elon Musk believes in. However at the same time I feel like it's not going to help prevent the burning of fossil fuels for electricity anyway, so it's counter intuitive. I hope he has something in store that will help people trust Elon's words once again because I feel like he's a good guy in his core.
Let's not be so naive, and let's keep in mind the fact that Elon Musk is primarily a businessman who has already attracted the close attention of the state regulator with his actions and words, and Tesla's shares also collapsed in price. Therefore, you should not think that there are only environmental motives behind stopping bitcoin payments for cars, but something much more prosaic. For example, there are concerns that the exchange rate price of bitcoin as well as Tesla shares is overheated and therefore it is necessary to untie them from each other a little. And that Musk doesn't want Tesla to suffer much later because of the bitcoin correction. |
