241  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 190K in 2024? on: March 28, 2024, 09:46:25 AM
A very important event is scheduled to happen this April. Around April 16 or 17. It's bitcoin halving again. i.e. number of bitcoin rewarded for mining a block would be halved. It meas half bitcoin reward for equal task for miner. That would also decrease the liquidity in bitcoin provided by the miners. The miners operate on small margin and many could go on loss if they sold their reward for current price so they won't be willing to sell it unless price moves up. Bitcoin in past have seen a good price boost after the halving. And many prediction models place the future price of bitcoin into 190K.
Is 190K too humble or very generous in your consideration? What's your price plans for selling your holdings?
Are we already talking about $190K? Why not about $200K? This value looks nicer. Smiley

Have you set the bar too high? Bitcoin didn't even reach the important psychological mark of $100K. If the previous dynamics continue, then this level should be reached. I assume that ATH in this cycle will be around the level of $120-$150K and $190K looks like an overly high expectation to me.

Shall we leave $190K for the next cycle? Smiley
I don't think that target is too high, $190k is an acceptable price for bitcoin during this bull season. I personally believe that bitcoin will reach $80k-90k soon after the halving and then we will have strong growth across the entire market in the last quarter of the year. Bitcoin will touch 190k$-220k$ and many altcoins will x10, x100, this is completely possible.

This is my prediction and I make it based on the economic situation. With the Fed lowering interest rates, economic recovery and the need to increase income are a must, and investing is one of the ways to increase income quickly. Surely people will not ignore it and combined with news about ETFs, people will confidently invest more in bitcoin. This will fuel a strong bullish cycle.

Manchester City have proven that they can still perform well without De Bruyne like in the previous few weeks when De Bruyne was absent from the start of the season for 6 months.

Manchester City still has a chance to win a very big trophy this season, and I don't even think that this weekend's match against Arsenal is everything because with the remaining 10 matches in this season the top 3 teams currently Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City still have the same percentage. to earn a degree.

I even look at the strength of the top 3 teams at the moment and I think Manchester City is a little stronger than the others, and at crucial times, mentality is needed and Manchester City has that.
Without De Bruyne they were still able to perform well but City couldn't dominate the match. Several times they struggled to create chances and they didn't really dominate the game. City can perform well without KDB but they cannot perform optimally. Because KDB has the creativity to distribute the ball forward and create several golden opportunities for City.

Yes, I also see City as having a bigger chance than Arsenal and Liverpool. They really have a solid squad. But I hope Liverpool or Arsenal win the EPL title. It will be a memorable farewell gift for Klopp. I also like seeing a team like Arsenal win the title after a long time when they were only able to finish in second place in the final standings.

I tell you what, Kevin De Bruyne is indeed one of the best midfielders in the world but he is not the most important player in Manchester City either. Some would say Haaland is the main man for the current Manchester City squad but I would say he is not the main man, the key player of the Manchester City team.

The key player in the Manchester City team is Rodri. Just look at the statistics of the match when he started the game vs when he did not. You would see a huge gap in the win-loss ratio here. Rodri, despite being a  Centre Defensive Midfielder, is the key player of Manchester City.

I think Manchester City has the best chance of taking the Premier League this year as well. I would have said Arsenal if their team were more experienced. But we have seen last year how they have choked the trophy from such a huge lead. Manchester City also fell behind in the middle of the season, but after Rodri returned from injury, they made a good comeback. The upcoming match between Manchester City and Arsenal might decide a lot of things in the Premier League trophy run.

Lamine Yamal is not a player for sale, although if he were to sell, Barca could earn a huge amount of money, enough for them to cover and buy a few more players. But Lamine Yamal is being seen as a new star symbol for their training academy, after the success of Messi. The fans will be extremely opposed if they sell Yamal.
Barcelona's main problem at the moment is financial, although indeed the sale of lamine yamal can not completely fix the financial problem, but at least Barcelona can be helped a little by the sale of lamine yamal, I think it is a ridiculous offer from PSG if indeed they really bid lamine yamal for 200 million euros, but even more stupid in my opinion if Barcelona do not release him if indeed PSG are willing to pay,  Because if Barcelona release Lamine Yamal for 200 million euros then not only will it help a little bit of their finances but they can also use half the money to be able to buy 2 or 3 new players they need next season.

So far I quite admit that Lamine Yamal is very talented and performs brilliantly in every game, but isn't it too early for us to say he is Messi's next successor at Barcelona, to be honest, I don't know how many Barcelona have claimed that their young players are Messi's successors so far, but in fact all of them have failed and lost their current names like Gerard Deulofeu,  Bojan Krkic and even before lamine yamal appeared didn't we also hear Ansu Fati as the next Messi?
But all of them failed to just get a big burden after comparing him with Messi so far, I think there is no guarantee if Lamine Yamal will also not experience this later.


Barcelona should not sell Lamine Yamal right now. He has shown courage, bravery on the field for someone who is this young. He is definitely a future star. I would say no matter how bad your financial situation is, you should not sell him. Actually, this is what makes a team a Big team and a small team. Take Ajax, Monaco for example. They let many prodigious players go. They are like the academy team of big teams who supply these players to these big clubs for a big price. I think if Barcelona sells Yamal, they might want to sell more players trying to solidify their financial situation and slowly turn into a small team. I would not want to see that happen with Barcelona. Ajax also was once a big team, but they lost their status due to the frequent selling of these prodigious players.

Even if Barcelona sells Yamal to PSG or any other big club, surely the value would be much more than 200 million Euros. It could even surpass 300 million Euros, you never know. He has the potential to become the next Messi and no one would want to miss him. PSG signed Neymar back in 2017 for 222 million Euros, so if it surpasses 300 million Euros this time, I would not be surprised.

Man Utd prepare £43m offer for defender as Dan Ashworth's first transfer assignment emerges
Manchester United are ready to firm up their interest in Gielson Bremer ahead of the arrival of the club's prospective new sporting director, Dan Ashworth.

Details: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-dan-ashworth-bremer-32415232

Guys, I think it is not going to be enough. Unless the owner of Manchester United changes.
As long as the Glazers(Hope I am writing it right) are the owners of Manchester United, I don't think anything is going to be helping the club a lot.
At least in terms of performance.

As a marketing club, they can do good enough. At least good enough to make enough money.
New coach, new players, new sporting director nothing is going to work as long as they are the owners. At least that's my opinion.
245  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 26, 2024, 04:36:48 PM
I don't think that it is possible for Manchester united to finish fourth on the table, because it will be hard for them to achieve it. The team faced a lot of difficulties this season, and it is just recently that they have started improving in their performance but it was too late for them to secure a ticket to UCL next season, due to the few matches left, and the big difference in points of the club sitting on the fourth position.
Aston Villa may/may not qualify to the champion league if they are not consistent in their rest matches, because Tottenham is a threat to them, and also have the interest of qualifying to the champions league next season. Manchester united should will be in Europa, I think that fits them better, because they found it very difficult to win their UCL matches this season.
Man United chances are very low of reaching the top four of the standings and finishing there when the season ends. They have a better chance of finishing in the Europa League zone, it is already difficult to overtake Tottenham and Aston Villa, these two clubs have a better chance of getting tickets to the Champions League next season. Although Aston Villa and Tottenham lost points, it is not certain that Man United will be consistent in the remaining matches ahead. Player injury problems are one of the causes of their inconsistency this season, not to mention other internal problems involving players and coaches, which has caused Man United to experience a setback this season.

Personally I don't think Manchester United have any chance of finishing in the top four of the points table. Arsenal, City and Liverpool are sure to be in the top three of the table. Aston Villa, Tottenham and Manchester United are currently fighting for fourth place in the table. But among these three teams, Manchester United is now the most behind. Aston Villa and Tottenham are now in a good enough position to finish in the top four of the table.

It is indeed too late for Man United to realize their ambition of finishing in the top four of the standings. Defeat by Fulham at Old Trafford in week 26, then continuing to be defeated by Man City in week 27, marks Man United chances of reaching the League Champions zone has finished. It's true that the difference in points is still very likely to be reduced, but I haven't seen any signs of a significant improvement in performance within the Ten Hag squad. The victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup cannot be used as a complete reference for Man United next match.

Manchester United team is now 9 points behind Aston Villa. However, Manchester United may have a slim chance of finishing in the top four if United's overall performance remains stable. But Manchester United's performance is still weak and erratic. Manchester United have lost two of their last three matches. Such an erratic performance will not be able to close the gap of 9 points with Aston Villa.
246  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 25, 2024, 04:14:29 PM
Milan will have a hard time against Fiorentina, but they will not lose. The league champion is now clear, but the competition with Juventus for the 2nd place continues.
My prediction is that Milan will win this game and keep the points difference with Juventus.
You know Milan has to beat Fiorentina to stay on track.  At the moment, Serie A is a very different league. Each game is a battle for a spot in Europe. Milan is in good shape and playing well, but Fiorentina won't give up. Milan needs to play with the same level of energy as they did in the derby. Whatever happens, Juventus is ready to take advantage

When it comes to Juventus, Lazio is a tough opponent. The way they've been playing lately makes it hard for them to win. I'm interested to see where Milan's minds are at in that second spot.  That desire to win is what makes the difference. They'll be safe in their spot if they can manage that pressure. Without a doubt, this season will end in a crazy way

I think the match between Milan and Fiorentina is not going to be a very hard one for Milan to actually win. Milan has the capability to win this one without even conceding a goal. Now I understand that the defense of Milan has not been the best. But at the same time, the attacking from Fiorentina has not been the best either. My prediction this is going to be a score something like 2-0 or 2-1 in favor of Fiorentina. But of course, I could be wrong.

Juventus might have a little bigger problem in hand compared to Milan. You know Juventus is not in the best of form right now. And it is very possible that Juventus only get 1 point from this match or even lose. But to be honest I don't think it is going to be so bad for Juventus that they will lose this match. But I really have a feeling that this might be a draw between Juventus and Lazio.

Ripple Is biggest Enemy of Bitcoin

As far as I know, Ripple is still involved in a lawsuit with the SEC. How do they have enough time to find a way to destroy bitcoin when they are still not sure of their existence? Also, how does it benefit them and the crypto industry? I think these are just false rumors, unverified and therefore unreliable.

Many people seem to hate Ripple because they are a centralized altcoin but they forget that Ripple's effort and victory against the SEC was a huge achievement in helping the cryptocurrency industry be taken more seriously.
248  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Global wealth preservation" on: March 25, 2024, 10:31:58 AM


They intersect in the sense that many see Bitcoin as an improved digital gold, so most things that gold can do, Bitcoin does better. Although there are things you can't use Bitcoin for, since it's not physical, you can't use it to make jewelry or have industrial applications. But in terms of preserving wealth, Bitcoin is better because it not only preserves it, it increases it.
Some of the points you gave about the uniqueness of Bitcoin are correct. Just want to add that the limited supply of Bitcoin is one of the factors that makes it better than gold. There are still great reserves of untapped gold in some countries but the maximum total supply of Bitcoin will always be 21 million.

Can bitcoin supply change if there is consensus among all miners and developers? I think it's entirely possible and just like humanity can find a new store of gold on the surface of the earth. In addition, gold is not only used as an asset but it is also used in a number of other industries and fields. Additionally, an asset having less supply does not guarantee that it is a better asset, it also depends on its demand. We should not deny that the demand for gold today is still very strong and bitcoin has not yet been able to surpass it. In the future, let's take time to answer everything and don't rush to confirm anything.

Gold and bitcoin are two completely different assets but it's hard to understand why people like to compare them.

Rumors of Mbappe moving to Real Madrid are almost certain. But we have not seen any official news yet. Since we haven't seen the official news yet, I'd say Mbappe still has a chance to renew his contract with PSG Tongue. Because we have seen Mbappe behave like this in the last few seasons. He renewed his contract with PSG at the last minute.
There's always a rumor when it comes to Mbappe in any transfer window and this is something the media loves to give to the fans and you'll hardly hear that the player has made up his mind to join Real Madrid or any club of his choice. To me I'd say this guy need to be freed of his misery, he has played so many games with PSG but only the Ligue 1 trophy as the biggest he has won in his club football career and I feel he's tired of that.
To add a champions league trophy is the man's target so if he doesn't sign for Real Madrid or let's say if he doesn't leave PSG to a better champions league competive team then he's playing for the money and he won't get his name written as one of those players who won the Champions League, Madrid should be his next destination.

Personally I think Mbappe will leave PSG this season. However, if PSG can win the Champions League with the help of Luis Enrique, Mbappe may renew his contract with PSG. However, PSG's chances of winning the Champions League title are slim.

Mbappe has been playing in Ligue 1 for a long time. He won many titles with PSG in Ligue 1. But PSG's performance on the Champions League platform is not good. Mbappe is a great player, he has the ability to score a lot of goals. Mbappe will definitely want to win the Champions League title now. And one of the best teams to win the Champions League title is Real Madrid. The Madrid team is very strong and experienced in the Champions League platform. So Mbappe would definitely prefer to join Madrid.

But nothing can be said for sure yet. We are hearing a lot of rumors regarding this. But I will not believe these rumors before seeing the official announcement.
250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: March 25, 2024, 03:48:08 AM
We are still waiting for Mbappe to confirm that he is going to play for Real Madrid officially and this player or Real Madrid hasn't announced anything yet.
However, we know the deal is done and Mbappe is not even considering the other options and offers he got so far because he is only thinking about Real Madrid. But he didn't say anything about it officially.
According to some news, Mbappe is waiting for the Champions League, and sicne both teams, PSG and Real Madrid are playing in this tournament, he is not talking about his transfer to Real Madrid. But I think if Manchester City beats Real Madrid and Real Madrid loses the Champions League, Mbappe will officially announce his final decision about the next season.
So far nothing is confirmed yet.



https://www.marca.com/en/football/psg/2024/03/23/65fef6e1268e3ea43e8b4569.html

Well , I think the deal is almost done but PSG is still in the UCL competition with a fair chance to win it so I think as soon as PSG drops from UCL ( or after they win it ) , the announcement will be done. The second option can be that PSG wants Real to wait until current Ligue 1 season will end and then announce the transfer but I think the first option will be the one that happens or so I think.  Smiley

Florentino Perez is pushing hard to include Mbappe in the squad. Because he knows very well that it is not possible to dominate La Liga and Champions League depending on the performance of Vini and Rodrygo alone. Because vini and Rodrygo's performance is very erratic. Madrid have already got a great player like Bellingham as Modrich's replacement. And Mbappe is going to join the squad as a replacement for Benzema. Madrid will once again be unstoppable.
251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 24, 2024, 11:27:31 PM
I have always said that Erik Ten Hag is not a coach of a big team. If you give him a relatively small club to manage like Ajax, he can do many things with it. But when it comes to him managing big clubs and big players, he seems unsuccessful every time. He had conflicts with Ronaldo and many other players in his time at Manchester United time.  Ronaldo never had problems with any manager before, although he is a little bit arrogant.

I don’t know what it is but even before Erik Ten Hag came, the newly signed in form players seemed to be losing their form. Andre Onana was a star player for his club and country. Now he can’t perform consistently for his club and is not even the first Goalkeeper for his country right now. I wonder if Erik Ten hag will stay the manager of Manchester United next season.

Have you followed Manchester United closely? That I doubt. Almost what's said are not completely correct. Even before he was appointed Manchester United manager, these players lost form and are bad.. even Ralf Ragnick made complains about it.
Andrea Onana having these issues because Manchester United best defending players are out Injured and not consistent. Despite that, Andrea Onana is the second best goalkeeper with the highest clean sheets in the Premier League Competition so far.

Erik Ten Hag would still be manager of Manchester United next season. Worry less, you just try to watch football better and not be baised.

Your opinion of Erik Ten Hag not being a coach for big clubs is trash. And for your information, Ajax is not a small club. That club has groomed one of the finest players in the history of football. Players he managed during his time with Ajax are all world class players. Erik Ten Hag disrespected Cristiano Ronaldo quite already I agree and sane goes with Cristiano Ronaldo who failed to report for training while carrying out his search for a new club in Europe.

I don’t think you have read my post correctly. I clearly said that even before Erik Ten Hag came, the newly signed-in form players were losing their forms.

Yeah, Andre Onana has the most clean sheet so what?
He did get dropped from being the first-choice goalkeeper of his national team, didn't he?
Do you know who played instead of him? Fabrice Ondoa, who is currently playing in a club in the third tier of French Football.

They are not even the top team in that league, actually one of the bottom teams in that league. Fabrice Ondoa is not even the main goalkeeper of that team for your information. I don’t mean to demean Fabrice Ondoa, but getting benched by a player who plays in that league is quite a shame and tells a lot about the quality the player had. So there is no question about Andre Onana losing his form after joining Manchester United. And I believe the true quality of a Goalkeeper can be shown in the big matches and when defenses are weakened because that's when he is the most vulnerable.

Tell me a name of a trophy or a big achievement that Erik Ten Hag has achieved with Manchester United? 
Sure, Erik Ten Hag might get another chance next season because I believe he deserves another chance but I would not be too sure about if the owner thinks the same. And even if he gets another chance, that is not because he performed well but because he might turn things around.

Yeah, Ajax can only groom only small players but cannot keep them for long. That is the sign of a small club. They are not as big as other big clubs such as Manchester United or Real Madrid or Barcelona for example. Sure, they have a good history of being one of the biggest clubs in Europe and the world. But time has changed, and not many people count them as a big club anymore. Erik Ten Hag also has bad blood with other players as well. Many players can’t shine under him.
252  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Less than 80 days until the 4th Ever #Bitcoin Halving on: March 24, 2024, 04:41:17 PM
We have been getting this high drop of Bitcoin price since the beginning of this month without any move to a new all time high. It seems like we're going to have new record of dump in the history of Bitcoin, I think. This isn't how i pictured this year's halving to be and it may surprise us that this year is going to be the worse halving of all time, with Bitcoin going down to maybe $59-40k-. The expected amount isn't suppose to at a price we have come past since last year, $64k is what we have at the moment and many have been waiting patiently to see the price come back up to either $70k or $73k and with time it will start a positive movement to a greater high.

It's funny that when bitcoin kept increasing in price and touching $73k, everyone was happy and believed that bitcoin would reach $100k this year. But after just a few days bitcoin started correcting to $64k, the majority started to be negative and assumed that bitcoin would fall even further and not be able to go higher after the halving, LOL.

I see bitcoin falling from $73k to $64k as a normal and healthy move. If you think bitcoin has no more bull run this year, I recommend selling all your bitcoin before it drops further. Hurry and sell bitcoin when it costs 64k$ instead you will have to sell bitcoin for 40k$, LOL.

This is a normal response from people who have little to no prior experience in investing in BTC. I mean, by just looking at the price history of BTC every after halving, the price always increases overtime. I do think that this is the perfect opportunity for everyone to take advantage of the halving by investing further with the money that you are willing to lose.



Bitcoin's correction is really an opportunity for us to take advantage of buying more bitcoin before it's too late, but those who do not have a strong stance and lack understanding of the market will definitely miss this opportunity. I just hope everyone should improve their knowledge before investing, don't invest just because of Fomo and be led by the market. Because the end result is just loss.

Personally, I still think we haven't really entered a bullish cycle yet, things are just getting started and the correction is in preparation for a bigger bullish season.
253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 24, 2024, 03:54:32 PM
Any team really wants a good coach for their team, so it would not be wrong if Bayern Munich made a decision like that for their own team and looked for a more experienced coach for Bayern Munich next season. But if the new coach next season can be worse than Thomas Tuchel this season, of course Bayern Munich will also be quite regretful because as bad as Thomas Tuchel was this season when coaching Bayern Munich, he can still take a good position. Even though it's just a runner-up position this season because chasing first place is quite difficult at the moment.

Of course, the current results do not reach the targets of the club owner. and they will look for a coach who will restore the glory of Munich which dominates the Bundesliga.
The quality of the players in the Munich team is actually good, but they still can't continue to dominate every season. Now it's Leverkusen's turn, hopefully, Leverkusen will remain consistent next season.

For me, terminating Tuchel contract at the end of this season is not the right solution for Bayern Munich for next season, because Tuchel failure thisseason is only because of the impressive results that Xabi Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen have. After all, if for example next season Xabi Alonso really leaves Bayer Leverkusen, I fully believe Bayern Munich will be able to return to dominate the Bundesliga even though it is still with Tuchel. Butindeed, the decision has been made by Bayern Munich to terminate Tuchel contract at the end of this season, and this certainly makes Bayern Munich have a new coach again nextseason. But indeed, however Xabi Alonso is also still rumored to be receivingoffers from Liverpool or Bayern Munich, but if Xabi Alonso accepts Bayern Munich offer, then of course it will be good for Bayern Munich.

Just compare this season’s stats with last season’s, Thomas Tuchel is doing far better than he was supposed to. There are 8 matches remaining in the Bundesliga and Bayern Munich has 60 points. But if you look at last season, Bayern Munich had 71 points at the end of the season.

So basically after playing 8 less matches, Bayern Munich are 11 points behind than their last season. Thomas Tuchel’s win rate is higher than the previous coach and he is doing better than the previous coach. It is just that the extraordinary undefeated run of Bayer Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso that is making Thomas Tuchel look bad. He is an experienced manager, he is still in the Uefa Champions League and their matches are against Arsenal. I believe they will be able to beat Arsenal as well.

Bitcoin is real. I promise it's the best deal. See the dollar? It's a disaster. Prices fluctuate widely. Makes running a business and grocery shopping miserable. Bitcoin, though? Stable. Secure. The government cannot touch the future. We need that type of winning.

It's not just fancy investors. Bitcoin restores authority to the people.  Countries are smartening and seeing opportunity. Openness to Bitcoin offers more freedom for everyone. Actually your money. No banker's toy. I desire that planet.

Businesses, please join. Bitcoin transactions are cheaper and faster. That means things get cheaper. For everyone, not just the rich. Imagine your paycheck buying something useful. This is possible with Bitcoin. This isn't about instant riches. Building a better system. A fairer system. A system where America wins, and everyday people win too.


There is no need to talk bad about USD or any country's currency because whether they are good or bad, they are all part of our lives, we still have to use it every day even if you have bitcoin.

Additionally, bitcoin transactions are neither cheaper nor faster than current fiat systems. There were also times when I had to spend 5-10 USD per bitcoin transaction and I even had to wait up to a week to complete my transaction. Nothing is perfect and our world will be better when Fiat and bitcoin exist side by side.

Does Bitcoin have the potential to impact climate change?

Any industry or sector that consumes energy will produce emissions, and bitcoin mining is no exception. But the problem here is that the climate change impact from bitcoin mining is negligible compared to many other sectors, but many people are over-exaggerating it and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Bitcoin is also a field that is bringing benefits like many other industries and the benefits it brings to us are even greater so consuming energy or creating emissions is acceptable.
Whether we have bitcoin or not, climate change will still happen, don't just blame bitcoin or any other field, instead it is us humans who are destroying this earth.
256  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Bank - Safely store your bitcoin on: March 24, 2024, 01:31:35 PM
To stay on-topic myself: why should someone trust your centralized custody, what safe custody expertise do you have and can prove it? What you propose is the opposite on many levels what Bitcoin stands for.
Bitcoin is unique and it gives everyone keys (private keys) to their bitcoin. They no longer have to rely on any custodian to store their money, in this case store in bitcoin.

Idea from OP is simply against this strength of Bitcoin protocol. Without black swan events, people feel safe by storing bitcoins on centralized exchanges but if anyone experienced this market in times of Terra, FTX, Voyager, Celsius, Three Arrow Capital, they would have known about this risk.

Later, bank collapse in the USA. and some banks in Europe, would have given them more warnings.

To be fair, not all centralized platforms are useless or scams. Take a look at Coinbase, it was founded in 2012 and is still one of the good trading platforms to date. We should not equate them all as equally bad, and the problem is that some investors are abusing these centralized platforms, the exchange is a place to buy and sell, not a place for us to store bitcoin or cryptocurrency assets. We don't need to hate centralized services too much because I believe the majority of us are still using them to convert bitcoin to fiat and vice versa.

Regarding the OP's idea, I don't have anything outstanding and I also find it unfeasible when he charges so much for his service and not to mention his reputation.

I don't know what kind of chemistry can emerge between Ten Hag and the players if all we've seen is conflict and degradation of even good players. Even those with whom Ten Hag had an excellent relationship deteriorated, suppose in the case of Casemiro this can be attributed to age-related changes, in the case of Rashford it is difficult to come up with any excuses.
As for competition from other clubs, this is a general problem of the Premier League - there are too many strong clubs and even if you are good, you may end up a loser at the end of the season.

Rashford according to what his mother said lost a close family friend and it's been difficult for him to process since this friend has been close buddies from way back. Asides that he has also been seen clubing and all that stuff, no matter what happens, player's should find ways to maintain balance, this has got nothing to do with Erik Ten Hag.

Do you even watch Casemiro? He has reduced strength lately, you watch him run to and fro and he is already tired panting and breathing heavily. I double doubt you do, because if you do you won criticize Erik Ten Hag. In the case of Andrea Onana, I see you all have nothing more to say, is he not the second goalkeeper right now innthr Premier League with the highest clean sheets? Lol.

The defense has seen issues since Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw got Injured, they're the major driving force for Erik Ten Hag because he builds from the back. You can go ahead saying this and that but you have to know that Erik Ten Hag is not the problem.
So what's with Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo and Diego Dalot? Aren't they working under Erik Ten Hag? I wonder how most of you watch football. Good God!

I have always said that Erik Ten Hag is not a coach of a big team. If you give him a relatively small club to manage like Ajax, he can do many things with it. But when it comes to him managing big clubs and big players, he seems unsuccessful every time. He had conflicts with Ronaldo and many other players in his time at Manchester United time.  Ronaldo never had problems with any manager before, although he is a little bit arrogant.

I don’t know what it is but even before Erik Ten Hag came, the newly signed in form players seemed to be losing their form. Andre Onana was a star player for his club and country. Now he can’t perform consistently for his club and is not even the first Goalkeeper for his country right now. I wonder if Erik Ten hag will stay the manager of Manchester United next season.

LOL, I don't know why Bangladesh organizes test matches. I will say Bangladesh team has no qualification to play test match. Just a waste of time. The performance of both batsmen and bowlers of Bangladesh in Test format is very poor.

In the second innings, the Sri Lankan players batted brilliantly. Set a huge target of 511 runs. And the interesting thing is that Bangladesh lost two wickets to collect only 9 runs. Joy failed to score any runs and Shanto was dismissed for just 6 runs. Batting with a target of 511 runs, the Bangladesh team has made such a terrible start. I can't remember the last time we saw good batting from this team in the Test format.



This is the scorboard of  Bangladesh team when the target is 511 runs. The more important thing is that the match is being held at Bangladesh's home ground. The match is being held in Sylhet, and the Bangladeshi players are very well aware of this pitch.

I never imagined that the players of any team could bat like that. Bangladesh has been playing in Test format for a long time. Also Bangladesh Cricket Board is quite rich. However, we do not see any improvement in this team. Bangladesh are weaker in the Test format than teams like Ireland, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe. And BCB is not taking any proper steps for the overall improvement of the team. Bangladesh should play only in ODI and T20 format. I agree with you that Bangladeshi players have no qualification to play in test format.

Real Madrid and Manchester City were the favorites for this year's Champions League title. And we thought these two would meet in the final. But Madrid and Manchester City are going to meet in the quarter finals.

It is impossible to predict which team will win. Every one of the Madrid vs City matches we've seen over the last few seasons has been competitive. And the scenario this season is similar.

Manchester City's performance has been somewhat erratic. On the other hand, Madrid's main striker Benzema is missing this season. Madrid mainly rely on their midfielder Bellingham to score goals. On the other hand, City are strong enough with Haaland and De Bruyne. Betting on this match is very risky. So I will refrain myself from betting on this match.
It's easy to predict, the winner is Manchester City.

Real Madrid was struggle to beat Leipzig, Leipzig isn't really a strong team. But Real Madrid beat them with small margin, unlike Manchester City which destroy Copenhagen in both match.

First leg, Manchester City will win, so it's good to make a bet.

But for the second leg, Manchester City might not use all of their strength because they want to secure the points.

Such predictions should not be made with certainty. It is true that Real Madrid faced some problems to win against Leipzig. But Real Madrid is not a weak team at all. Real Madrid is a very experienced team. And their coach Ancelotti is also very experienced.

Real Madrid won the away match against Leipzig. So the home match Madrid needed was a draw. For this reason I think Ancelotti did not give full effort to win the match. From the start of this match, Madrid played a defensive strategy, and their aim was to draw the match.

Although Manchester City is strong, City's performance is also somewhat erratic. De Bruyne has yet again suffered an injury. However, De Bruyne will return to the squad before facing Real Madrid. Even then, it is difficult to say whether De Bruyne can play well. If De Bruyne does not perform well, it will not be easy for City to win against Madrid.

We have been getting this high drop of Bitcoin price since the beginning of this month without any move to a new all time high. It seems like we're going to have new record of dump in the history of Bitcoin, I think. This isn't how i pictured this year's halving to be and it may surprise us that this year is going to be the worse halving of all time, with Bitcoin going down to maybe $59-40k-. The expected amount isn't suppose to at a price we have come past since last year, $64k is what we have at the moment and many have been waiting patiently to see the price come back up to either $70k or $73k and with time it will start a positive movement to a greater high.

It's funny that when bitcoin kept increasing in price and touching $73k, everyone was happy and believed that bitcoin would reach $100k this year. But after just a few days bitcoin started correcting to $64k, the majority started to be negative and assumed that bitcoin would fall even further and not be able to go higher after the halving, LOL.

I see bitcoin falling from $73k to $64k as a normal and healthy move. If you think bitcoin has no more bull run this year, I recommend selling all your bitcoin before it drops further. Hurry and sell bitcoin when it costs 64k$ instead you will have to sell bitcoin for 40k$, LOL.
