Arsenal among three Premier League clubs monitoring £50 million PSG star Ousmane Dembele:
Paris Saint-Germain recently signed Ousmane Dembele in the summer transfer window, but the club is monitoring his progress in the French capital.
The 26-year-old striker was signed by PSG for £50 million from Barcelona in the summer but failed to find a footing with the French champions. Moreover, PSG signed former Bebfica FC center forward Goncalo Ramos for £63 million in the summer, so it seems that PSG wants to sell Osman Dembele because their strike position is better with two strikers, Ramos and Mbappe. Osman Dembele is also an extra player in the attack position. Besides that, Osman Dembele has had a poor performance in recent games at PSG after exiting from Barcelona in the summer transfer window. In PSG, Osman Dembele has made 5 appearances with zero goals and no assists.
Source:
Dembele is a very good player but if I were to be a coach I will be very skeptical of signing him because I believe he is a delicate player. I mean he can be very useful this week but next week he might not perform optimally.
In my opinion, I believe that PSG needs Dembele more than Arsenal need him. Marteneli, Jesus and Saka is good for Arsenal as Dembele may not find his place in the squad.
Considering again will be the availability of Mbappe after this season which is highly in doubt. So consider the age of Dembele he is a good deal for PSG

Dembele neither scored nor assisted after his first 5 matches for PSG. Perhaps PSG fans and management are disappointed with Dembele. Many fans on PSG's social media platforms expressed frustration with Dembele and wanted to remove him from the starting lineup.
Currently, PSG has many quality options in attack despite parting ways with Messi and Neymar. In addition to Mbappé, coach Luis Enrique has Goncalo Ramos, Kolo Muani, Bradley Barcola, and Lee Kang-in. The fact that PSG does not need Dembele, a loan contract, or a permanent sale is all possible. Arsenal, Tottenham, and West Ham are all lining up to borrow Dembele.

I am a newbie in bitcoin I want to learn a lot about bitcoin I want to do marketing and trading with bitcoin if any of you are expert or if someone is more skilled please give me some suggestion so that I can do something good and my future is good.  can shine through bitcoin and i can stay away from casino and gambling games and without these two means i can earn money in my life and i can work hard to earn bitcoin everyone.
Do focus on learning one thing first at a time. And you don't need someone to teach you about Bitcoin because it can be found already on the internet and the only you need is to spend time reading and watching online tutorials. But I would tell you that even if you have learned everything about Bitcoin, trading, etc....never expect that you can earn that fast and easily. Many people assume that they already gained enough knowledge and skills, and fail.

That was a good decision to leave gambling life for this won't give you profit but if you just wanted to please yourselves in doing, why not?

This is the wrong thinking of many people. Knowledge is the foundation of every path to success, but that does not mean that having knowledge will help us succeed. If OP wants to invest in bitcoin, of course knowledge is needed, but don't expect that just by having knowledge you can easily make a profit. Just like having a college degree does not mean we will get a high-paying job. It all depends on how we apply that knowledge into practice.

Furthermore, OP, if you want to start trading, it is really a big challenge and learning knowledge without practice will be useless. Therefore, in addition to focusing on improving knowledge, OP should also use a minimum amount of capital to get used to everything.
243  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can third-world countries counter inflation using bitcoin? on: September 24, 2023, 10:38:00 AM
Bitcoin alongside other cryptocurrencies has aided the economic development of many countries. Bitcoin is typically used for online transaction and businesses in third world countries despite widespread poverty, this is because people can easily connect to the internet and participate in the crypto economy in many developing countries such as India and continent like Africa have high cryptocurrency adaptation rate. After purchasing bitcoin through platforms accessible to their countries, bitcoin holders in third world countries can trade Bitcoin for profits or hold onto their tokens as an investment. Inflation which is characterised by devaluation of currency alongside increasing price of goods and services, this has made people to turn to cryptocurrency like bitcoin an asset that maintain its value over time to hedge  against inflation.
I answer the question in the title: no way.

In the title you talk about countries, and in the post you write about the inhabitants of these countries. These are different things and bitcoin will have completely different effects in both cases.

Give examples of countries for which bitcoin contributed to economic development. It seems to me that you are mistaken in voicing this, because btc is not capable of changing the backward economies of third world countries and such examples do not exist at the moment. The problem with the economy of such countries must be eliminated in a different way, through a set of measures and actions, and not just by buying and selling bitcoin. BTC is not able to solve all the economic problems of both individuals and entire countries and is not a panacea for this.

But bitcoin can help solve the problem of inflation of individual people. There's certainly no arguing here.

If bitcoin serves as currency, it will be used in commodity transactions, how can it help improve a country's economy? If bitcoin is an investment, meaning there will be risks and depending on the possibility there will be profits or will lead to serious losses, how can bitcoin improve the national economy? Many people are too delusional and exaggerated about the power of bitcoin, they think that bitcoin is a miracle medicine that can cure all diseases in this world, LOL.

You are right, bitcoin will only have an impact on the individual and whether that individual can improve their economy or not depends entirely on their skills. Bitcoin is just a support tool, Bitcoin does not guarantee anyone's economic improvement.
244  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gives the poor an Opportunity. on: September 24, 2023, 10:26:14 AM
It's true that bitcoin brings opportunities to the poor, but not all poor people have the opportunity to grasp the opportunities that bitcoin brings because many people are so poor that they don't have enough to eat, so how can they have money to invest? But I think bitcoin is also an investment like many other investments, so saying that only bitcoin brings opportunities to the poor, but other investments are not correct. Real estate does not bring opportunities to the poor, but I think like the stock market, foreign exchange can also bring opportunities to the poor because they also do not need large capital to start a business. Trading forex, you can even start with a few dollars.

Indeed, some basic knowledge or tips in the game can be a plus for us to have more strategies but basically, casino games are extremely simple because casinos also understand that to lead a customer to them regularly, they need to optimize such rules and above all, casinos have perseverance while players do not have such time. On the other hand, our advantage is also the casino's advantage, they clearly understand the game better than us and I don't believe that the fairness here is that high, at least they will have some manipulation of the game

Of course, we understand gambling as a mathematical formula. Then, the win rate will be much higher. I am a person who previously did not understand anything about gambling. I went there and entirely relied on luck and my emotions. My win rate was absolutely zero, and I lost everything. And when I research and learn now, I don't lose much, and a tie is good news.
As you said, there will be no fairness, and they can manipulate the game. They are the owners and creators of the game. Of course, they have to program the probability of winning to be more favorable to them.

Bayern Munich vs Manchester United.

This match went according to what I expected, if these two teams would score goals against each other. considering that the available odds are not very ideal for Bayern Munich, I would suggest betting on the +1.5 handicap option for United with odds @1.70. My previous guess was that this match would end with a score of 2-1. Bayern will score 2 goals, while Manchester United will score 1 goal. but unexpectedly, this match produced many goals from both teams which ended with a score of 4-3. However, for those who bet on the +1.5 handicap option for United, they won this match with odds @1.70..
Manchester United has the possibility of being defeated by Bayern Munich by a big margin, but Manchester United was not defeated by such a big margin in this Champions League match. The score was 4-3 in this match. Bayern Munich performed much better than Manchester United but Manchester United managed to score.  

In the first half, Bayern Munich led by two goals from Manchester United, after finishing the first half with two goals, Manchester United was under a lot of pressure in the second half. Later, R. Højlund scored a goal in the 49th minute to reduce the team's pressure a little, but then Bayern Munich scored again.  
Casemiro's great effort late in the game sparked a comeback but Manchester United ended the match one goal behind.

This match had 7 eye-catching goals, 1 match Man Utd played well compared to this season. Coach Ten Hag and his team had a good start despite facing strong opponents before personal mistakes ruined everything. Onana made a grave mistake in Leroy Sane's opening goal in the 28th minute. Instead of pushing the ball out or keeping it, he pushed the ball into the net. Onana made some great saves in the second half and overcame his mistakes.
Losing 4-3 to Bayern in the opening match, Man Utd was pushed to the bottom of Group A. The reason was that the previous game between Copenhagen and Galatasaray ended in a draw.
247  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: September 20, 2023, 10:45:46 PM
Yes, in my own personal and real experience gambling is the reason why my grandparents almost separated. My grandfather is so addicted to cockfighting to the point that we have no food to eat and they always have a conflict with my grandmother which led them to almost separation and he even starting to have an anger issues that time when he lose his game.
That's really serious. If someone is addicted to gambling, then the person is likely to have problems with his family because they will end up doing things that they are not supposed to do just to make money to gamble. An addicted gambler will end up doing something's that will end up affecting their family members, they might end up selling their properties, and the money that is supposed to be used for other necessary things in the house might end up being used for gambling, which will cause serious problems in the family.

If people gamble for fun and they don't spend any amount that is going to hurt them or their family member's on gambling, then I don't think people will be having problem with anyone gambling.

It affects many gamblers' lives. Players will usually lose more than they win. This can lead to financial loss and debt, and It can affect relationships with family and friends, leading to emotional loss, separation, and difficulty maintaining relationships. Everyone will gradually shun, and no one will love a gambling addict. They will have a very unpleasant attitude when interacting with addicts.
How wonderful. If gambling is for entertainment, then there will be no problem. But only some gamblers can do that.

What sucks is that if most beginners just download a bitcoin wallet off Google PlayStore/Apple AppStore, chances are, they'd land upon an exchange wallet or a custodial wallet. The way bitcoin/crypto is now, you need to learn by mistake first lol before actually ending up diving deeper.

https://chainsec.io/checklist
I hope that whaat you're saying doesn't become a frequent thing to happen to beginners because knowing that there's a lot of people that will quit if they made a mistake the 1st try serves nothing to the adoption of bitcoin. Although I do agree that allowing yourself to make mistake is a good thing if you want to learn, I still think that having that as your first experience in your first step wouldn't be good.

Exchange wallets or custodial wallets are not a big deal as long as they are official wallets because over time, as they move deeper into the market, they will find better knowledge about wallet security and wallet. They will switch when they learn about the difference between custodial wallets and non-custodial wallets. What's more scary is that they use fake wallets that are still on playstore and will lose their money at the first time, which will make them shocked and have negative thoughts about this cryptocurrency industry.
249  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I took a proposal to my State Governor to accept Bitcoin Technology on: September 19, 2023, 11:21:53 PM
Did you have to rely on close associates to assist you in the subsequent processes if it indeed moves forward? And is your knowledge of cryptocurrency sufficient to elucidate the significance of the proposal you've presented to them?

Here's what I'm concerned about, does the OP really have enough knowledge about bitcoin to be able to answer every question if he has to explain it to the board before it is considered for approval? Like cryptocurrency hearings at US congressional sessions, a series of questions are difficult to answer and always cause controversy, so they have not yet made a common decision.

So I think, if OP does not prepare carefully, his plan will be very difficult to come true. Introducing bitcoin into education means revising the curriculum, which is not an easy task to undertake.
250  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel when you look at your first Bitcoin wallet? on: September 19, 2023, 11:12:38 PM


Just recently, I was tempted to check my first ever Bitcoin wallet to see what I have done in the past. I was so depressed seeing the volume of Bitcoin that have passed through my wallet without me saving a reasonable portion of it.


The future is unpredictable, so unlike you, I have never felt regretful about what happened in the past. It is simply a lesson for us and there are still many opportunities for us in the present and future, and the important thing is whether we can learn from experience and avoid repeating the same mistakes again?

Human instincts are greedy and selfish. When the opportunity is not clear, they refuse for fear of being scammed, but when the opportunity becomes clear, they feel regretful. Although bitcoin is valued much higher than it was many years ago, its opportunity is still huge. Why don't you start now to correct your past mistakes? The fact that you regret the past shows that you are thinking negatively about bitcoin in the future, because you cannot predict what will happen.
251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: September 19, 2023, 02:05:09 PM
Once playing this "game of luck" gambling, the player will gradually lose control and become addicted to gambling. After each loss, they will have the mentality that they are unlucky and will be luckier the next time they play. Gradually get caught up in the addictive game without the player even knowing.
Gambling addiction leads to unpredictable consequences. Players should know how to control themselves, control their actions, and not let things go too far. Remember that this is just a place for entertainment, not a place to get rich.
252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What does it take to play casino? on: September 19, 2023, 01:28:23 PM
The primary need is, of course, money. You won't be able to start gambling if you do not have enough money. The second one should be self-control. This can be used in a lot of things when it comes to gambling, it can help you to lose more money or to stop yourself from continuing on betting even after winning. And also, luck. Even if you are good in some casino games, you can't win if you are not lucky enough to win in some of your bets.
And out of those three factors we only control two of them, we decide how much money we want to use when we gamble and we can decide when we stop, however we have no way to control our luck and as such we cannot rely on it to try to become successful gamblers, so it is important to know our limitations and understand that the big win we may be looking for may never come our way and in that case all with what we are left is to enjoy gambling for what it is, which is another way to unwind and get some fun.

I need to add one more factor that is also necessary when playing casinos. We cannot gamble if we do not understand this game. Therefore, you need to learn and briefly learn about the rules of casino games. If you are good at this game, that is also an advantage.
So have money, knowledge, add luck, and the indispensable thing is self-control, learn to stop at the right time, and don't get addicted to gambling.

Neymar's contribution is still a bit lower than my expectation since his debut with al hilal. The guy that makes me feel wowed. I don't really have too much problems with neymar in term of his performance but he can try to push himself like when he was playing in PSG. It will be far better for the club as well. Metrovic has been really amazed me with his outstanding performance by scoring so many goals in any match. Even though ronaldo is still leading the league as the top scorer but i think that mitrovic has potential to compete with ronaldo.
Indeed, since his debut with Al-Hilal he has not performed well, but at least he has created opportunities for his teammates. So far we haven't been surprised by Neymar's greater contribution, but I think that will soon become apparent when he is often active and becomes a starter. Mitrovic is a striker who is hungry for goals and did not expect that he had already scored 5 goals for Al-Hilal and indeed his previous experience had a full impact on the club. Talking about Ronaldo, maybe age is just a number for him and he is still competing to get the top scorer this season after he failed to get it last season. Mitrovic, Ronaldo and Benzema are three strong candidates who will compete for the Saudi League golden boot.

Al Hilal. They have had to wait over a month to witness Neymar's debut and are looking forward to him showing off. Although he does not contribute much, Neymar is still a highly appreciated name on Al-Hilal's side. We need to give him more time to integrate into the team. With this tournament, a star like him is strong enough to help Al Hilal conquer the game.
Mitrovic is young and has the help of Milinkovic-Savic, especially Neymar. I also think Mitrovic is a strong candidate for the Golden Boot.

There is a really big progress made by Juventus compared to last season. I really appreciate this recovery despite not parting ways with Allegri. Actually the main reason why they couldn't finish last season in top 4 and were banned from European competitions this season is the punishment they got.

However Juventus' general effort wasn't superb anyway. Allegri was criticized a lot but now he is going on smoothly. Vlahovic also started to perform really great and scored 4 goals already. He has made a nice duo with Chiesa in the front line.

Allegri's teachers and students played well, especially the recent win against Lazio. It was the Lazio team that defeated Napoli.
Vlahovic believes he must leave Juventus this summer to make room for Lukaku because the striker's performance does not bring peace of mind to Juventus management and fans. The double against Lazio showed that he has very classy shots. The Vlahovic-Chiesa pair scored in the opening match. Then it happened again. Chiesa also scored in 3 of the first 4 matches of the season. A "close couple" is forming at Juventus.
255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: September 18, 2023, 01:52:57 PM
There will be no miracles in this match. I believe Bayern Munich will easily defeat Manchester United. Manchester United shows their squad has no hope when facing the opponent who is supposed to be this season's champion. What Manchester United needs to do is protect their goal so they don't have to lose a big match in the first match of the Champions League season.  Erik ten Hag needs to think of a solution to stop Bayern Munich's strong strikers. If they lose this match, the recruits' morale will drop significantly.
It is not necessary to exaggerate the advantage of Bayern Munich over Manchester United so much because the German team is also not all right, which is further evidence of the last match and the home draw with Bayer. Yes, Bayern looks like a more solid team so far, but anything can happen in a separate match, and so far, in my humble opinion, Munich does not look like the team that is so much higher class that it can win any game. Moreover, the Champions League matches are generally a separate story with a separate attitude from the teams that participate in it.

I won't exaggerate Bayern Munich like that.  You saw how badly Manchester United played, and they recently let Brighton win 3-1 right at Old Trafford. Manchester United has misplayed since last season and has mostly stayed the same after buying many recruits.
Bayern Munich had a successful season, winning the Bundesliga championship and the German national cup. Coach Tuchel's team also showed strength in the Champions League group stage in previous seasons, regularly scoring many goals and winning big. I agree that they play inconsistently in the Bundesliga. But if Manchester United were that bad, they would destroy it quickly.

Just imagine after buying an iPhone with a large amount of BTC, then some months later, iPhone 16 was produced. Then you keep planning to buy that one with another BTC. That means you will use all your BTC to buy an iPhone.

Why don't you think that people who are willing to spend 0.031 btc to buy a new iPhone, they are capable of earning a few bitcoins every month? I see people making stupid comparisons between holding bitcoin and buying some product that serves them. The people who are willing to spend $1,000 on a phone are the ones who are making a few thousand dollars a month, so what's wrong with rewarding yourself and enjoying life? Don't just look at yourself and infer that everyone is like us.

Why don't we try to think of ways to make more money to have a life like them, while they are enjoying life and we are laughing at them? LOL.
257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Top 5 Gambling Strategies on: September 15, 2023, 09:48:16 PM
Ow, I'm doing the complete opposite of strategy number 2. I always start with small bets and then increase them bit by bit as my bankroll grows gradually. Could this be one reason why I have not been very successful in my gambling sessions? Does anyone else bet this way?
This is called martingale strategy. It is a good strategy, but it is good if you can use it wisely, else it can lead to a significant loss. I have used it in roulettes 3x odd and it has been working effectively. I can try it from $0.5, $2, $5 up to $15. At any point that I will at $2, I quite for that day. But loss after $15, I quit for the day.

It has not been the reason for loss, people are more prone to lose in gambling no matter the strategy used. That is why we should gamble with the amount of money that we can afford to lose.
This strategy requires the player to have significant capital and market research experience. It can also easily affect your psychology, leading to wrong decisions.
Usually, after consecutive losing orders, players place huge bets and forget the previously set goals. This strategy comes from the principle that no matter how many times you lose, you only need to win once to regain all your previous losing orders. So it's a loss if you don't have winning orders, your account needs to be bigger, and You are following the wrong strategy.
258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: September 15, 2023, 09:14:08 PM
First of all, Manchester United are not in good form. Their performances have been erratic in the Premier League. United are not playing well against big teams.
Secondly, Manchester United's attacking players are not playing well. Ten Hag cannot overcome this weakness very quickly.

Third, in the first match of the Champions League, Manchester United will play against the strong Bayern Munich. And Bayern Munich is one of the most favorite teams in this year's Champions League. United are going to start the Champions League by playing against such a team. And if United do not perform well, there is no chance of winning. On the other hand, Bayern Munich will definitely play to win. United's erratic performance is a chance Munich coach Tuchel will use very well. If Manchester United play the way they have in their last few matches, they will surely lose against Munich.

Not only that, but Manchester United also has to start their Champions League season with a game away from home against Bayern Munich and that makes it even heavier for them to play freely and find their best performance. But maybe it is the right game for them because it could either end in a wake up call or in a success that gives them confidence. Bayern is also not at their best at the moment.

But you said they play erratic and that hits the nail on the head. Their performances are so independent of each other. The only consistency you can see is that they are inconsistent and that they have problems even with the weaker teams.
There will be no miracles in this match. I believe Bayern Munich will easily defeat Manchester United. Manchester United shows their squad has no hope when facing the opponent who is supposed to be this season's champion. What Manchester United needs to do is protect their goal so they don't have to lose a big match in the first match of the Champions League season.  Erik ten Hag needs to think of a solution to stop Bayern Munich's strong strikers.

Gambling advertising, this situation is being blatantly advertised on social networks, causing discomfort to users. Whenever I open YouTube for my children to watch cartoons, gambling ads appear, making me very uncomfortable. My child is young, but almost every day, he goes online and sees these ads. I'm afraid it will affect children's cognition.
Rampant advertising on social networks causes many consequences as the number of young children participating increases. I don't know how to turn off these ads. The government needs to intervene and resolve this situation as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will expand more and more.
260  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can money be saved in gambling sites? on: September 15, 2023, 08:36:04 PM
Still the main choice when you want to store assets is in a private wallet that has nothing to do with third parties.
Because it's much safer than saving money in a casino because I had a bitter experience when I accessed my casino account again after not using it for a long time. As far as I remember, there were still some dogecoins where at that time the price was still relatively cheap so I left it at the casino, after I saw the price. up I accessed it again then my account was frozen so all funds were also frozen. So I took that as a lesson, never leave any funds in a casino even if it's small money.

We will never know the value of the crypto that we leave in the casino could rise and become valuable, the point is always use a personal wallet that can be used to store the crypto money that we have in the casino, don't put it in a third party as you said, whether it's a casino or exchange.  Wink
A painful yet common misstep many make. I mean, one would think by now people would've understood the risks, right? But hey, at least you've learned now. Personal wallets are always the way to go, always. And here's a tip, since I'm feeling "generous": The world of crypto is unpredictable and volatile. While you're right about not knowing the value of cryptos left in a casino, it's also important to keep in mind the principles of responsible gambling (and responsible investing). Don't invest more than you can lose and always, ALWAYS, be skeptical. Especially with third parties. Is that what bitcointalk always taught us

Even if we save money in the bank, it is not safe. Everything has more or less risk. Even though I know the risks, I still leave my money in the casino. For me to leave money here, it will be difficult for anyone to control my money. Especially the government. I feel much safer than banks. I am choosing a third party with an extensive system and a higher safety rate.
