Ripple, Inc. recently proposed the creation of a USD-backed stablecoin. It aims to compete with already-established players (mainly USDT and USDC) on the market. For years, the XRP Ledger was believed to become SWIFT's replacement in the future. It hasn't materialized yet, but XRP is already used by many banks worldwide. It enables interbank payments at a fraction of the cost. Settlement times are near-instantaneous.

I think from the last 2 matches, both teams played a game that was fun to watch for football fans. For me, the advantage in these 2 matches is that Munich and City avoided defeat at home to their opponents. And in the second leg, both teams will be much more enthusiastic in deciding whether to qualify next or not.

I think the teams entering the quarter-final phase are teams that are difficult to predict because they are the best teams in their respective leagues. For the two matches, PSG and Atletico, in my opinion, will be far superior, playing at their own home, of course they will be much more enthusiastic.

I'm not getting tired to see Leverkusen dominance at all honestly.    Because it is a huge change for me after being fed up with watching Bayern Munich become champions every single season.

I'm really curious about what the secret behind Xabi Alonso's success is. It seems like he has built a really solid system by mixing the things he learned from the best managers while he was a footballer. I'm really keen on seeing what they will do next season not only in the Bundesliga but also the Champions League. If they still stay consistent then Leverkusen board would never want to let go of Xabi Alonso I assume.    I would also do the same of course.

Perhaps you don't realize it yet, but Ukraine has already lost this war. In hindsight, key events of this war so far were the battles of Bakhmut and Avdiivka. Ukraine lost so many troops trying to prevent Russia from capturing these cities that it's ability to fight on is greatly endangered. Ukraine needs at least 5000000 new recruits and at least half a year to train them, the time Ukraine doesn't have. Even if they will be able to recruit 500k people, this will ruin Ukraine both demographically and economically and it will de-facto cease to exist.

And the failure you mentioned, I don't see it frankly: Russia is moving slowly but steadily, pushing AFU further west. Russians are capturing a small town or two almost every day after the fall of Avdiivka. They have now reached a town of Chasiv Yar, fighting is going on in the streets right now. Realistically, Russians are going to capture it in like days, because AFU don't have resources to defend the city. They even have issues to defend bigger and more strategically important cities like Kharkiv, Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. In Kharkiv, there is no internet, electricity, water. People are leaving en masse, many are trying to relocate to Dnipro. Real estate prices plummeted.

Regarding Kazakhstan, you're right in a way. Kazakhstan, Moldova and Armenia are the latest CIA projects and these countries are actively severing their ties with Russia now. Moldova is rumoured to be annexed by Romania soon, perhaps except two regions: Transnitria and Gagauz. So yeah, things are getting interesting.   

As you can see, unlike other Assets, Bitcoin is a decentralised asset and can't be created more, but increases in value when it's price is halved. But note that Bitcoin as an asset is very volatile in nature, therefore you shouldn't invest all your savings but a spare money you could lose without getting very emotional. However everyone needs to take advantage of this years halving and take profits to prepare for the next very early.

There is no doubt that Bayern Munich became a better team with Harry Kane, but Harry Kane could not reverse the downward trend of Bayern Munich in recent years. They were champions for the last 11 seasons, but last season they won the Bundesliga with the help of luck in the last game. Harry Kane had proved for years in the Premier League that he was a world star with his goals. I think he did the same thing in the Bundesliga. Harry Kane is a bit too unlucky. Bayern Munich were unbeatable in the Bundesliga for years, but we have to admit that in recent years they have been on a downward trend, but even Harry Kane has not been able to reverse it. If Osimhen doesn't choose the right team, I don't think he will be able to achieve better success no matter what he does.

It's pretty interesting to see Kane back again in north London, and this can be a good momentum for him to prove his worthiness by beating Arsenal again. It will have become a very important match to determine how big Bayern's chance is in qualifying for the semi-final. Bayern had a very good historical result against Arsenal, but I'm sure it will not work for the upcoming match, considering many changes have happened in both clubs. Bayern has a weaker mentality than Bayern used to. Arsenal is slowly but surely reaching its peak performance. I hope that bayern will be able to humiliate Arsenal in the upcoming game at Emirates.
Although many people always said if Emirate is a scary place for any team, Bayern seems strong enough to get a draw against Arsenal there. I will be so happy if bayern will get draw against arsenal.
BTTS is likely to happen considering the bayern is still good enough when it comes to the UCL.

Of course, Arsenal will not waste this opportunity because Bayern Munich itself is not in good condition in the domestic league, but I think this is because Bayern Munich seems to no longer have the enthusiasm to play in their domestic league because they have no chance of winning the title they have won. secured by Leverkusen, therefore Bayern Munich played more relaxed because they had prepared all their energy in the UCL.

Arsenal should not be fooled by Bayern Munich's condition in the domestic league, this could be an inducement for Arsenal and make Arsenal fooled even though as we know Bayern Munich's performance is very strong in the UCL and I think Bayern Munich will use all their strength in that match but Arsenal's performance this season This also deserves appreciation and support so that Arsenal can return to the semifinals after not achieving that for a long time.

It means that Tuchel should be sacked because he does not know how to coach the players, and come up with a game pattern that would be favorable to them. Bayern Munich was not like this before, but is like after the arrival of Tuchel, the club have lost its quality.

I hope that Bayern Munich will be able to bring in a professional coach that will bring back the club strength to the way it was before. I would not be surprised, if they don't advance to the semifinals. Tomorrow is not far, and we will see what Bayern Munich will play against Arsenal in the Champions League.

And because Liverpool and Arsenal are the same on points, that will make the competition much fiercer for them in terms of winning trophies this season. Because I also still think there is one more team that Liverpool and Arsenal still have to take into account, namely Manchester City because that team is also only one point behind Liverpool and Arsenal. So the fight for the title for this season will continue to be fierce until the end of the season because the three still have points that are not much different.

I agree with you. He should reject Chelsea offer, it wont' be a good idea for his career. Osimhen must accept the offer from better teams that can make his career better. If he wants to play in EPL, it is true that he should move to Liverpool or Arsenal. I think these teams must be better than Chelsea, he won't win any title with Chelsea. Besides these teams will play in UCL, they are always competing for the domestic titles in the last 2 seasons. It looks a bright career for Osimhen if the joins Liverpool or Arsenal.

I don't know if Liverpool and Arsenal have made offers to sign Osimhen for the next season. But previously both teams already targeted Osimhen. I am optimistic Liverpool and Arsenal still want to improve their squads for the next season. They must plan to be more competitive and want to achieve better goals.

What can you say about the fact that Chelsea does not participate in the Champions League and in European competitions in general? What is the point of Osimhen moving to such a club and wasting his golden years trying to rise with a middle-ranking club instead of immediately playing in a top club? Arsenal's prospects are now visible to everyone, while Chelsea are in the middle of the standings for the second year in a row and the likelihood that they will suddenly change their status is extremely low.

Despite Man-United been on pressure to win today's game against Liverpool due to it's recent poor performance between Chelsea and Brentford, thats the same way Liverpool will also be on pressure wanting to win so as to be rank top of the premier league once again, as they are just 1 point against Arsenal, who happens to be the current club topping the league now. So it's really going to be a tough match today, of which I'm expecting either a draw or victory for Liverpool. As it will really take a miracle for Man-United to win this game, but however, in football nothing is impossible.

We can't compare Ligue 1 and the English Premier League, because if players want to get an extraordinary experience, clearly the English Premier League is the best choice, and so does Victor Osimhen. He has abilities that can develop further, and personally I would regret it if he chose Ligue 1 for his next competition, because I think it would hinder his development a little. Not without reason, because in Ligue 1 there is no tight competition so that will make it comfortable, and when players feel comfortable then they might become lazy.
Meanwhile, in the English Premier League, competition is very tight, if players are too lazy to practice then they will be far behind other players. There you can also form a very good mentality, because in almost every match, they will face opponents who are very likely to pose a very big threat to them. So in my opinion if Osimhen wants to move, then it is better to go to the English Premier League.

BTC has been "pumped" massively ever since the spot ETFs were approved in the US a few months ago. The rise has been exponential, making BTC reach a new ATH before the halving. This has never happened before in the history of crypto (AFAIK).

Considering that BTC is in a new ATH, I wonder if the halving is already priced in? If that's the case, then market prices will remain relatively the same post-halving. Don't you think?

Correct. This is the craziest and most incredible match, adrenaline pumping etc, and all in one football match in the EPL league. Who would have thought that Chelsea would make a comeback at the last minute? It was incredible, and Palmer Cole made sure of it for Chelsea by scoring two late goals and breaking Man United's hearts. Including me because I bet on Man United winning, it was really painful but this match was exciting so the pain of losing the bet was relieved by the very impressive play of both teams.

This victory moved their position up to 10th in the standings, 5 points adrift of 6th place (Man United) with 1 match remaining. This gives Chelsea new hope, namely that European football is close, but they must continue to be consistent in the remaining 9 matches.
