241  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Has AltCoins thought you a hard time lesson before? on: March 06, 2024, 01:01:53 PM
I think everybody here must have gone through some tragedies in the trading market. Investing in altcoins with high amount of risk and not a deep research is something that almost every newbie does and after having a loss they realise that trading is not that much easy.Then they either quit it or become smarter and wiser with their decisions.

It's not something to be ashamed of but if one doesn't learn from one experience and continues to make mistakes then it's a serious point to ponder. We have to make ourselves realise that we are wrong and then work on ourselves to make the wrongs right.
Trading mistakes can happen that's not really a big deal, as long as you did not get scammed then trading losses are fine. I feel like there are way too many people who gets scammed during this period and that's the most important part, if you can somehow avoid those then you should be considering the situation to be a lot better.

I believe that we can't make it work any other way, and it seems like we are going to end up with a lot more trouble. I feel like it should be something that will take some time, and we can't make it work any other way. I know that altcoins are risky investments, so if you trade some and you end up losing money to it then that's fine we can just assume that it is what we can do, it's just the way it is.

Bologna is no longer a weak team. Even Atalanta also just experienced defeat by Bologna. And what's interesting is that Atalanta also experienced defeat when playing as hosts. So we can imagine how strong Bologna will be when playing as host. And next week Bologna will play as hosts in the match against Inter Milan. So in my opinion Inter Milan won't be able to win if they only rely on the second tier of players they have. So I remain confident that Inter Milan will play with their main players. But player rotation will definitely happen if everything goes smoothly for Inter Milan. Unless Inter Milan is willing to lose points in this match for the sake of the UCL match. But I'm sure Simone Inzaghi will not let his team lose in any of the competitions. We know that last season Inter Milan also won 3 trophies in one season. So don't be surprised if this season will be the same. This happens because Inter Milan considers all competitions to be equally important.
Yes Bologna is still good team on italian lague. Bologna is also leading the points table and they are regularly winning matches. they have not lost any of the last 5 matches.  If they can maintain their performance like this, it is hoped that they will be able to do better in the future. their performance is much better than Milan in this year's Italian league. So I expect better from them. In 2nd position, Juventus has lost 3 matches and drawn 1 match in the last 5 matches, so their situation looks very bad. Bologna can take this opportunity to put themselves in a better position. so the next matches are very important for them
I agree that Bologna got as close as they possibly could, but I think they can't get any higher. Milan is set at their place and they are not going to end up with anything that will get bigger. I feel like we are going to end up with something that should not be considered a bigger deal.

Also we should remember that Roma won 4 out of 5 last games as well (one loss being Inter) so not like they are giving up chase neither. Their manager change really made them so much better, not like Mourinho is a bad one, but maybe he didn't fit there. In the end, a fourth place fight between Atalanta, Roma and Bologna seems to be possible, there are nine more games left so we can see many things change from now until end of the season.

I'm not surprised because basically Nice is not a strong and consistent team, if we look at the many wins that the Nice team has had since the start of the season there is some element of luck because overall their performance in the match is not that impressive.

Compared to Nice, of course Brest is better, although overall if you look at the strength of the two teams, it's not much different, it's just that Brest is able to maintain its consistency, which is different from Nice.
I think that is not it. I mean yes they are not amazing I agree with that, but it wasn't really luck that made them play that well, look at Lyon they played so bad that first half of the season they were at the very bottom, and then played a bit better, is that luck too?

I think some teams have all their players playing at 100% sometimes and during that time they are great, but during some other times there are fatigue, booked, injury and many other reasons why players are not at 100% and that makes them lose. Nice started out great because everyone was ready to play well, but then with time fatigue and injuries started to play a role in their results and they started to end up losing games and points, which resulted with them dropping in place.

When Bayern Munich bought Harry Kean, I thought they were going to win the league as they normally do. The arrival Harry Kean made them to be one of the favourite for the champions league trophy. Looking at this Bayern Munich team, they have failed to live up to expectations, but even at that am certain they are going to win the game tonight and am predicting a score line of 3:0 Yes Lazio might have kept them out in the first leg, but it's going to be a different game tonight. I don't see Lazio eliminating Bayern Munich in the champions league.
It is such a funny situation that we are talking about a person who is so great, and wherever he goes he just makes the team have some sort of curse. I know that is not something we believe ,but it could be something we can joke about without trouble. I mean they have lost at everything since he joined, every type of cup that they normally win, ended up being a loss for them. And not like he is the reason, he played quite well, he helped the team.

Kane was a good decision, the rest of the team needs to change, starting even from goalkeeper, they really need to change a lot of the players aside from maybe a few and Kane is one of the players that will have to stay, because he was paid so much, and he is still contributing well for the team.

Liverpool isn't poor, but they're stingy.

There were many discussions that Liverpool lacks of play maker, people were want Musiala to join Liverpool. Actually they can, but why they sign Mac Allister and Szoboszlai? obviously they want to cut off the cost.

The money they have is better to allocate to sign a great manager.
How do we know the difference? I mean so far I have always thought about them being poor, and yes I get that the "poor" here doesn't mean like they have no money, they just paid so much money to players this off season so it is not like they have no money, but they are not like Madrid or PSG that they can spend whatever they want, or not like City neither. Looking at this summer, they paid as much as they can and I felt like that's all they have.

How do we know the difference between what they paid and what they could have paid? Like do we know if they had 50 more million pounds they could spend but didn't? How can we know that? It looks like they already spend what they had and that feels like the quite big amount for them.

Does it work the same with Bitcoin shares as well?
You need to know and remember that Bitcoin and shares are two very different things. Generally Bitcoin is generated from a computer system usually called "Blockchain", based on a supply and demand agreement. When you decide to buy Bitcoin, you will have digital money according to the amount of money you invested to buy Bitcoin. In general, both Bitcoin and stocks have movements that are not continuously flat. The assessment can go up or down which can be influenced by several factors. However, for cryptocurrencies, changes in value can occur suddenly and drastically without warning and are more volatile. Meanwhile, for shares, the rate of movement is considered slower depending on the performance and developments in issues related to the company in question.
I mean going up and down is part of the market and there is really nothing else we can do about it, we just have to accept it the way it is. I get that some people may want something bigger than that, but we are not going to get it and we have to learn to live with it. Just wanting it to go up in a stable manner, like maybe 0.1% a day, it looks something small but going up everyday like that would not be acceptable.

First of all, that's savings account and you are getting interest, secondly it's way too high in dollar terms, maybe there are some terrible fiat currencies it can go up that way but it's not that easy for dollar terms. Basically it HAS TO go up and down to create a market and it would only make sense that way.

Im worrying bayern's performance. It's likely this club can leave from UCL after this match. Lazio was also performing so badly but the club has more aggregate compared to the bayern. The only chance to use the parking bus method to win against bayern in the second leg of UEFA champion league. Lazio and bayern are performing so poorly.
I do feel how hard to predict which club that will be going to the further stage. Bayern seems a good bet but the performance in the previuos legue combined with domestic league made me feel worry. Kane was not as good as he used to be in totenham.
This is also making the situation far worst. Bayern has decided to depart tuchel but he is still burdening if bayern will not able to go to the next stage. The statistic from the first leg is not showed huge gap between both of club(see the data below).



The stats enough to prove that how boor bayern munich in the last match. Zero shot on target and it's enough to say that bayern is not in a good condition. Lazio needs only to put fuckin wall in front of the goal keeper to win the game. It shall not be a hard match to be done.
Bayern may be bottling this home game since it performs so poorly in any matches.
I do agree that it is not that much of a great difference between the stats. I also believe that Bayern has been quite terrible this season so far, once again failing to win at the league this week for example. I mean it is quite clear that we are going to end up with a lot of trouble, and we should not really be considering how to get Bayern to win when we are betting.

I do understand why people would bet on Bayern, it does make sense because overall they are the better team and that makes sense, but there is no guarantee that they would win. This is why I think it's one of the bets to avoid, I already bet them to win at Bundesliga and regret that decision already, and I am not going to make another one and bet them to win here.

Nunes saved Liverpool right at the bell, I am sure that City would have taken the leadership in that situation. I think Klopp is trying something before he leaves, and he is aware that leaving with another premier league title would be so awesome for him. Think about it, leaving at the top when you are crowned the champion would be so epic for him, whenever he wants to come back, I am sure any team would accept him. Not that he will come back to premier league, he started that he won't do that but it is still a great achievement.

I can see that they may actually do it, they are doing very well and I am guessing there aren't that many teams that they can't beat, so if they do well, they may get the win for sure.
249  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is this the Season of Airdrops? on: March 03, 2024, 01:51:04 PM
The trend started after Arbitrum's airdrop that paid the eligible participants a good sum after which people started hunting for such airdrops but to be honest, not all of them pay their participants as much as everyone might be expecting, however, everyone wants to be a part of every available or upcoming airdrop just because they expect high returns on them. Some projects would also misuse this by making people participate in their airdrops, make them promote their projects, earn a lot of money, and then give them very small amounts in the airdrop. Some airdropped coins don't become valuable enough to compensate the participants enough for what they might have spent to become eligible for the airdrops.
Certainly, Arbitrum is the trend setter of airdrop space, it is interesting to note that most of the participant were eligible with significant amount of free tokens. This is how the gained the support of community as well as won their confidence. Community support is always paramount for the success of the project. Regrettably, some project leaders don't get how crucial this support is, resulting in diminished market acceptance.
I agree that they are doing a good job, but they are doing it right now with what we have at the moment, when the bull run starts, we are going to end up with a lot more new projects that will end up giving out so much as well. Some of these will do fine and they will definitely end up making people a lot of money as well.

I remember clearly when uniswap first came out, they gave record breaking amount of money, like hundreds of dollars per address, some people made thousands with multiple accounts, and that is just one airdrop. Nobody really saw that coming, and I bet that when the new bull run comes, there will be a moment when a lot of projects will do the same and it is going to be something that will make people forget about ARB.

Roma's game is still quite good. there are good players like Dybala and Lukaku in the team. Mourinho's departure didn't have too big of an impact on Roma's game. but you can be sure that Brighton will make things difficult for Roma in the next match. but if Roma can get up now, maybe Roma will become a competitor to Liverpool and Leverkusen.
However, in the group stage, we saw a bad game from Roma. and now they are rising again to try to enter the European League trophy competition.
Not only Mourinhos departure didn't do any damage, but they actually became better after he left as well. Which really isn't great for Mourinhos legacy as well, dude has been around for a long time and he still ended up being wrong in most cases, I feel like it wasn't really all that easy to handle.

I personally believe that the best thing to do in this case would be Mourinho to go to Saudi Arabia, because they would hire him just based on his name alone. De Rossi on the other hand may have a much better career after this, because he took over a team that weren't doing that well, and ended up having some great wins, and even streaks, to keep the team alive and doing well. These all matter to him, and should be important.

Tuchel currently under pressure because he have to bringing Bayern Munich to performing well for each matches in all competitions and if Tuchel unable to do that i am sure he will received plenty of criticism from Bayern Munich fans and after lost from Lazio i have to says Bayern Munich performance still not reach to their top performance again even several weeks ago they lost from weak team Bochum and indeed Bayern Munich have already to gets the winning results in Bundesliga by beating Leipzig but i have to says their performance on that match is not really impressive

Kane was became an Bayern Munich top scorer from all competitions but i don't know why although Bayern Munich has sharp striker as the replacement of Lewandowski but their performance is still not stable and sometimes unpredictable however about second leg against Lazio the bookmakers even provide low odds for Bayern Munich @1 28 and for Lazio @11 but i don't think it would be so easy because i am sure Lazio will displayed defensive strategy to avoiding conceded early and during this season Bayern Munich home matches records in Champion League is not so impressive because on group stages Copenhagen has successfully to gets draw result from them at that time so after considering this record i think there is a chance for Lazio to at least gets draw result from Bayern Munich
Tuchel is actually not under pressure at all, he has the easiest job in the world at the moment. Because, it is obvious that he will be fired, so when you know that you are going to get fired anyway, then there is really nothing that you can do to make it look like you have tried your best. You can just relax and do nothing and you should be fine in the end as well.

I believe that the best thing to do in this case would be just letting it be, and you don't even have to care about the results anymore. They can't really fire him neither, not at this stage at least and it wouldn't make sense, so he can lose the league, the UCL and every game and he would still be fine. There is no way he would keep his job unless he somehow magically wins the league and then UCL as well.

unfortunately, having the advantage of playing home doesn't make Monaco the favorite and here PSG is still the team that has a big chance of winning. If we look at the odds offered by the bookie, it is certainly very profitable to be able to get odds of @2.08 for PSG to win and we certainly rarely see PSG getting these odds if their opponents are unbalanced.

I don't think Monaco will just stay silent and regarding the gap that is so big, it is possible that Monaco doesn't care about that anymore and they are only thinking about securing 3 points at home and at the same time improving the H2H against PSG. I think all teams know very well that there is nothing more important than winning in front of the fans and Monaco will try to get that. In your opinion, who will win in this big match and if you bet, will you choose Monaco, PSG, or even a draw?
I mean.. Obviously Cheesy We are talking about PSG here, monaco is not even remotely close to them and even home or away it doesn't really matter when you have this much difference between the clubs. I am not saying that they are going to end up with just pure wins, we have seen PSG fail to win some games already, but they are doing fine and when they lose, they do not lose because they are not the favourites, they are favourites in every single game.

This one I believe will be easy for them to win, we will not see them have anything that will be difficult. Monaco is no match for PSG and with Mbappe going, they really want to get that one more last win that is almost guaranteed, next season they will still be fine, just a bit unsure.

Is not it consistency having very strong relationship to the consistency from the players? Here's the cycle, someone with very strong mentality will always be persistent in keeping his performance, this is creating the consistency which is also impacting the performance from the players. The title race is always the battle from the mentality owned by these clubs.
The last season had proven how mentality is something that's totally need to won EPL trophy. City was losing very huge gap to the arsenal but it was able surpassing it in a short time. Is not it enough proving that if mentality is the most important thing?

You can read this:

Quote
As with any sport, mental toughness in football can be just as important as skill.
https://www.veo.co/article/how-to-build-mental-toughness-in-football

Mental toughness will not only affect the performance if the player. It will also build a proper midset that must be owned by a professional footballer. Talking about skill owned by the team is not relevant anymore when it comes to the end of season. It's caused by there are some clubs with very good mentality compared with arsena.
It's not my first time to see arsenal performing quite well but it was unable in getting trophy. Even the history has labelled arsenal as a team that was very often bottling the title. Arsenal needs to strengthen its mentality to get EPL now.
Mental toughness is important in most cases, not just for a footballer but in any sports. However, we need to also realize one important part about all of this that nobody really talks about. Footballers are usually not from elite circles, doesn't mean there are none, but it is usually not that common that some aristocrat would let their kid be a footballer. Which means that footballers (and most other sports aside from a few) comes from poor backgrounds, from poor towns as well, usually surrounded by people who are uneducated as well.

This results with them not really knowing how to act properly when millions are watching them, so when they have mental problems, they are not educated enough (most footballers do not continue their studies) to ask for mental help. Psychologises are not that common when it comes to sports medicine but just as a footballer may break their leg, they may have emotional trauma that they need to talk to some professional about.

In most cases, they see that as weakness because they come from a background of people who never had them one to afford mental care, and that meant that they belittled people who did, and they acted tough when things went south. So these guys, who earn millions, never learned the value of getting therapy, and how that could help them realize their own issues and overcome them.

This may result with most of them having some breakdown in some cases, or at least have trouble within their life as well. We need to lift the stigma on asking for a mental help, it should be something that would help everyone.

And we may even start it with a little bit of forced way, like hire a phycology professional for each team, and get the players to see that person at least once every 2 weeks to talk, whatever they want to talk. That way, they can at least say they were forced to participate, and not be "weak" that asked for it, and get the help. After seeing how wonderful it is helping them, I promise you that they won't be able to stop going to it.
254  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Isn't trading almost like gambling? on: March 01, 2024, 05:44:25 AM
It is almost like gambling, it is right. Of course, some traders who claim they are experts will never say yes but for beginners, that is meant to be, they rely mostly on luck like gambling. What to expect from a novice? They just know the basics, have less experience, and low level of TA, it was certain that they were asking for some market favor and being lucky for their calls, and the chances are the same as they gamble.


Really that not hard to make up such comparison on which simply sticking with the main idea.

1. Trading = investment/income source
2. Gambling = leisure/entertainment
There is a big difference in meaning but some approach seems to be the same. Unless you have enough knowledge and skills. In fact, for some people gambling is not an entertainment anymore but a source of income.
I do not agree with this, it's nothing like gambling. Even if you do not know what you are doing and randomly just let it be, I feel like you should be considering the benefits of it as well. Think about the possibility of being right at gambling for the long term and being right at investing. Those are very different things and I believe that you have a higher chance.

Even if you just calculate how you are going to end up losing due to house edge, that would be enough to not compare the two together as well, that's just the way it should be done. I believe that the best way to go would be making sure that we are handling it well enough, there is really nothing that we can't do if we know what we are doing with this.
255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: February 29, 2024, 08:23:32 PM
Real Madrid and Girona cannot be compared because the difference in quality between these two teams is very different, but Girona this season has the confidence and chemistry of the players which is quite close so that they can produce good performances throughout this season.
Until now I have not seen any difference or decline in Girona's performance.
Girona managed to bounce back after three not so good match results, but that was not enough to change the position of the standings and they had to be patient waiting for Real Madrid to fall, which seemed difficult to happen, but Girona has become a competitive team this season and any team cannot underestimate they.
Rayo Vallecano succeeded in holding Real Madrid to a draw but they couldn't do that to Girona, in fact Rayo had to suffer a fairly heavy defeat 0-3.
Girona played very well in this match and the red card received by Rayo players in the 76th minute made it easy for Girona to score two additional goals so they could win with a landslide score.
I would say the payment you get should be different, or at least that's what I assume. I understand that there could be some small changes, and nothing major but even the reputation plays a role. Girona being second or third doesn't matter to them and they would be happy, shame that they were leading the league and looked like they would have a Leicester type of story, but third is amazing for them.

However, being third behind Girona is not acceptable for Barcelona and that's why it matters, doesn't matter even if they get all the same things, it would still be a shame for them and fans would feel humiliated and their biggest rival Real wins the league so they would be mocked a lot for a whole year until they do better.

Last season's failure also involved players getting injured and that is the most frightening thing for all teams when they are in critical moments, especially Arsenal's squad is relatively young so they don't have the experience when under pressure and their coach still lacks experience.
This will be one of the tightest seasons of competition because there are three teams competing for the championship because in previous seasons there were usually only two teams left competing when it entered the middle of the season but this time it is quite different and very interesting when the champion is determined in the 38th match week.
I would say that getting tired could be one of the biggest reasons. Arsenal has a great 11 and that is how they are doing wonderful but the more players they rest, the worse they become, because they are lacking the depth that other two teams have.

Liverpool has great depth and has used it perfectly so far this season and City is famous for their depth, at this stage we could say they have at least 15 players who are starting calibre, and this is how they keep getting better and better by near the end because they can rest whoever they want, whenever they want. This means that we are going to end up seeing Arsenal stay behind those two, and they will end the season third but if they keep this up, they could get some more players to make a bigger depth next season.

Inter Milan is far ahead of its rivals for now after being able to beat Atalanta with a score of 4-0 without reply in Serie A. Now Inter Milan is starting to find it difficult for its rivals to catch up so it is quite possible to ensure that it can become Serie A champions this season , and for Atalanta now their position is starting to become less secure because Atalanta is only two points away from Roma who are eyeing the top five positions in the Serie A standings. Apart from that, Bologna is also starting to improve so Atalanta itself may also find it difficult to get the top four position which is currently occupied by Bologna.
Atalanta's defeat made the competition for 4th place with Bologna and Roma even fiercer, because these three teams only have a few points difference so that all three teams have the same chance of finishing in the top 4 of the final Serie A standings.
Meanwhile, Inter MIlan is now further ahead in points and no team is able to catch them anymore because in terms of quality and consistency, Inter MIlan is quite good and it cannot be denied that Inter Milan is able to ensure this season's Scudetto early.
It will definitely be a very fierce one, looks like all of the teams are quite close to each other. At this point it feels like 4th place is the biggest competition in the league, we already know first place will be Inter, second place could be Juventus by the looks of it, Milan has a slight chance as well, but that's the second and third options that much we know.

However, there could be some real competition for the fourth until the end of the season and that should be the way we look at it. I understand that we are not going to see the result anytime soon because there are still some games left, but we will definitely have some fun watching their games and seeing how they will be doing. Betting on it is fun too, makes it even more fun to follow.
258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: February 29, 2024, 05:32:22 PM
It was only the Copenhagen and Manchester City match that played over 2.5 goals in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg. There will be more of over 2.5 goals in this second leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 because big clubs will be playing from home, and they will easily score many goals since they are at home.
Big teams that play at home during the second leg of the Champions League do have a greater chance of scoring more goals. But big teams who won by a few goals in the first leg also don't need to score more goals if they are able to secure themselves to qualify for the next round of the Champions League. Because there are still many rounds that the big teams have to go through with bigger challenges in the next round, so any team must also be able to protect their key players so that they don't get injured early.
I agree that home team does have some sort of advantage, but the first game results have even bigger advantage. If you won the first game, then you could do a park the bus tactic and put like 6 defenders in there, and 2 midfielders, and just 2 wing/striker type of players, that should be more than enough in most cases.

This is why we end up seeing 5-3-2 most commonly on the second leg of these knock out stage games and nowhere else, because the first leg winners just want to do fine. Plus, it is a system that works perfectly with most common tactics of today with just one change, you take out one defender and put one striker in and suddenly you have your old regular system back as well, this makes things a lot more easier for teams.
259  Economy / Economics / Re: China are back to mining Bitcoin. on: February 28, 2024, 07:10:44 PM
I have always thought that crypto trading is illegal in China but from the few articles I just read it seems it was just restricted. I was thinking they one needs to use a VPN or other means to deal with cryptocurrencies because it was illegal. And citizens could be persecuted if they are caught engaging in crypto transact. However, it seems Bitcoin mining suffered stringent regulations which made many miners leave China for other friendly nations.

As others have said, I also believe that China might be regretting its negative stance towards mining because Bitcoin mining is now an important investment and revenue source. Bitcoin mining creates jobs, gives revenue to the government, and can be used for recycling activities. Chinese economists are suggesting that Bitcoin mining should be part of the already devastated Chinese real estate industry. They are suggesting that heat can be recycled to power Bitcoin mining rings in residential buildings so that they can also make extra income from mining. I assume China has a plan for the crypto industry and they are using Hong Kong to practice these plans.
Nope, that was never illegal to begin with. Individual mining was illegal, now government is allowing government owned mines, which is what this is about and nothing really major, but at the end of the day trading wasn't illegal. They even have exchanges there that works with their banks as well, and considering all banks are connected to the government, we can say that the government allows it, because the yare aware of the situation.

Of course there were situations with regulations, nearly as high as letting it be banned at that point, when you have very restrictive situation then you may see it as illegal and that could be understood but that doesn't mean that we are not going to make it work any other way.

I still don't fully understand why Al-Nassr is so far behind and how is it possible that Al-Hilal is so dominant when actually the names of their players on average aren't that much better. Neymar isn't even playing. I think this is a showcase for the fact that Ronaldo alone can't win the league, but still they have got some more names on their team as well at Al-Nassr. Yet it is not enough so far to compete with Al-Hilal.

It is 7 points and Al-Nassr has the game at home in hand against Al-Hilal, which would make it 4 points if they win it and then Al-Nassr can only hope that Al-Hilal shows some weaknesses. Otherwise this season could already be over. Now I understand that it is of course too early to throw the towel, but it is demoralizing for Al-Nassr to see how well Al-Hilal is playing.

Ronaldo probably doesn't care as the only title that counts for him is the best scorer award. Cheesy
Because AL Hilal has a better manager and younger players. You may think that the names they have are mediocre, but they are mediocre players at their prime, whereas Al-Nassr got players like Ronaldo, and a few more names, but at a very old age.

The difference is that Ronaldo may look like the top goal scorer, but when you look at the overall team, there is nobody else aside from maybe Talisca that could score, so all balls go to Ronaldo eventually, which resulted with them losing more games. When you go ahead and watch the game between Al Hilal and Al Nassr, you will see the difference, the physical condition of Al Hilal is far superior and that is why they managed to get the win, we should see the difference there.
