Kane's transfer is too close to the season. We cannot blame him. He did his best. He didn't even have time to rest. He went to the club and checked his health, and had to play. If Bayern Munich did not hesitate in the transfer window, Maybe we'll see different results.We can give Kane and Tuchel more time, don't pressure them both because they're under a lot of pressure.
There is still plenty of time for Kane and Tuchel because for now maybe all of them in the Bayern Munich team are making sufficient preparations to face every game this season in the Bundesliga. And then it will also make a better focus on the Champions League because Tuchel's own target is to bring Bayern Munich into a strong team this season with several player changes. So in general there is obviously still a lot of time for Tuchel and Kane.
Bayern Munich will play their first match at the start of the season and there is still plenty of time for them as Tuchl prepares well to face every game at the start of the season. This season Tuchl has transformed Bayan Munich and built a strong team.  Bremen will face Bayern Munich with this strong team at the beginning of the season in the Bundesliga. After the departure of Sadio Mane to Bayan Munich this season, Tuchel wants to be in a good position this season with Harry Kane and some other good stars. There are still a few days to go before the start of the season and Bayern Munich have plenty of time to prepare and will go into the field stronger than ever.
Let's wait and see their match results this weekend. Thomas Tuchel will find a way to promote the team's strength. Has Kane integrated into the team yet? And most of all, all the pressure is on Kane's shoulders. If he plays well, everything is as normal as ever. But if Kane plays poorly, he has to bear it all. And then, Tuchel will be the first to suffer the consequences. Not only that but if Bayern Munich loses, I bet Kane and Tuchel will be criticized for that too.

You forget one big team who have 4 big European players, it's Al Ahli. They have Mendy from Chelsea, Firmino from Liverpool, Mahrez from Manchester City and Maximin from Newcastle. Firmino scored 3 goals in the first match of this league, it's really crazy. I think Al Ahli is currently the most stronger and solid team, other team only have few players and it's played in different position.
These are all faces with seniority in the Premier League, possessing qualifications, talent, and experience. Maximin is a player with speed and technique. Mendy, Firmino, and Mahrez have passed their peak but still keep the qualities of top stars with many big and small titles in their careers. If combined, it will become a significant threat to every team in Saudi Arabia, including Ronaldo's Al-Nassr. The remaining teams need to add quality players to create closer cohesion. That's how this tournament attracts viewers. If they want this tournament, more people know about it.

It all depends on what your goal is, if you gonna hold for years I would say yes BTC is best.
But if you want to make quick short money, it's many other good cryptocurrencies also. One I think is very good is Solana that go up slow but stable all the time right now.

- BabyBandit -

We are just comparing bitcoin to non-crypto assets and see which is the best option. But to compare altcoin to bitcoin, it is a lame comparison as there is no altcoin that can compare to bitcoin. Even the altcoin market is a place for us to gamble rather than invest because its risks are no different from gambling. Solana's future, I don't think is very bright, I suggest you stay away from it and just focus on bitcoin. Not just Solana, stay away from all altcoins if you don't want to take risks.

Real estate is the safest but by no means risk free, business is not guaranteed to run smoothly all the time, cryptocurrencies are too volatile but profitable. All have certain risks and potential, why don't we diversify our assets to both minimize risk and maximize return? I will focus on the business first because that will be the passive income that helps me cover everything. Then I will consider investing in crypto and real estate, I will split both equally for my safety.
Can't guarantee with real estate is the safest investment to buy than cryptocurrency or Bitcoin, in my country Indonesia have bigger taxes including when transaction for selling or buying real estate. Need margin profit more than 30% increasing up price for earn much profit and selling under 20% price up is not enough to close taxes transaction. Personally I like investing in cryptocurrency than real estate, not face problem when selling real estate with taxes and easily controlling when price up for selling crypto assets investment. Right now is digital era and looks more profitable when investing assets in cryptocurrency than real estate with difficult find investor to buy and manage well with taxes including.

Whatever you say, you should not deny the potential and importance of real estate, it is the need of everyone, so investing in real estate is very good. But the hurdle of real estate is that it takes a lot of capital to get started, so investing in real estate isn't for all of us. It would be dishonest to say that we don't like real estate and only like bitcoin because we don't have too much money to invest in real estate. I invest in bitcoin not because I don't like real estate but because I don't have a lot of money to invest in it.

The length of Kane's contract talks made them forget about all aspects including some of the gaps that are missing at the moment.
At the moment if you look at the Leipzig match a while ago, their squad still looks not okay. Put aside the sticker problem because it has been resolved now but their midfield and defense still have some conditions where it is always difficult to anticipate the opponent's fast counterattacks. The goalkeeper position is also currently in my opinion quite crucial for Bayern because until now only Ulreich is absolutely certain to be the main goalkeeper but if in the end there is the worst possibility Ulreich cannot compete then this will be even more difficult for them.

The summer transfer window still has a few weeks to go before it closes but as of now there are still no other moves made by Bayern.
Yes, Leipzig is transitioning because of selling too many pillars in this transfer. Leipzig bid farewell to Josko Gvardiol, Dominik Szoboszlai and Christopher Nkunku. To replace the names mentioned above, Leipzig relies on young players. Confronting Bayern is too big a challenge for Leipzig. But the result is quite the opposite.
Regarding the goalkeeper position, Bayern Munich is considering recruiting former goalkeeper David de Gea. It is known that this club is looking for a replacement for the injured Neuer, their number 1 target is Kepa, but he chose to go to Real Madrid. The obstacle to signing David de Gea could be his salary.

Let's stay calm and wait and see, and It's just the start of the season. Perhaps they fell asleep in victory. The shock 0-3 loss to Leipzig in the German Super Cup was a wake-up call for their dreams. I believe Tuchel can do it. Currently, he has an ace in Kane. The problem to solve is to help Kane integrate into the team. Kane seems to be too surprised by their play and needs more time to get used to.
Kane really has to get used to how his friends play at Bayern Munich because that is part of the adaptation that Kane has to make over time at Bayern Munich. I think what you said is correct because this is just the beginning for Bayern Munich and also for Kane in the German Super Cup, because Bayern Munich's own target at the start of this season was to get full points against Werder Bremen and everyone will see how Bayern Munich put in a real performance in their first game of the season in the Bundesliga and if Bayern Munich lose again this weekend, it means something is not quite right with Tuchel's direction.

If other players when they join a new club, at least they will play in friendly matches and thus, they will be able to adapt well. But Kane is different, because Kane did not go through playing in friendly matches and so, then I think it's natural that Kane still can't play with good chemistry in yesterday's match against Leipzig in the German Super Cup.

Therefore, of course, it still takes time for Kane to be able to really integrate into the team. So yes, it doesn't matter that Kane failed in the match for the German Super Cup yesterday, because we must also be able to understand it. But of course, if Kane can't show his quality in the next matches in the Bundesliga, then we can assume Kane failed but for now, we can't assume that. Yes, let's just wait to see how Bayern Munich perform in the Bundesliga, before we expect good results in the Champions League as well.
Kane's transfer is too close to the season. We cannot blame him. He did his best. He didn't even have time to rest. He went to the club and checked his health, and had to play. If Bayern Munich did not hesitate in the transfer window, Maybe we'll see different results.We can give Kane and Tuchel more time, don't pressure them both because they're under a lot of pressure.

Let's see how tuchel is gonna fix its problem. I don't trust munich right now. The performance is going up and down constantly. It seemed to me if munich was not making huge progress.

He came in at the end of a difficult season. It seems Bayern Munich believe in Tuchel so much that it replaces Nagelsmann. But until now, his arrival does not seem to be better than Nagelsmann. Last season's Bundesliga champion, it seems to be luck too. Let's see this season, if he fails miserably this means Tuchel is not able to control Bayern Munich. The option of another one-year extension might be good, but maybe a 2-year contract if he fails then he has to leave.

When people first start gambling, people think this is just a game, but over time it becomes a habit and leads to dependence. If addicted to gambling, players will constantly pursue bets leading to losses, extracting available money, even stealing, and cheating to get money to satisfy addiction. Regularly plan to get more gambling money, such as lying to family or acquaintances to borrow money to gamble. When the loss is extreme, family and friends stay away from the creditor to come to them. They can be psychologically unstable, sometimes leading to suicidal thoughts.
That could be worst and last thing that may actually happen to them , they will lead to suicide or they will lost their minds. When a person get addicted to something he will never stop and will keep on trying and trying just to raise fund and just to satisfy his needs in gambling, when there are no ways, it could lead to addiction and that would be the fall for them.
Yes, Gambling addiction can have severe and long-lasting consequences for them: they will lose their relationships, be less productive, their health deteriorate over the years, and financial problems like bankruptcy can happen. Related to the law, the worst end is the attempt to commit suicide.
The causes of gambling addiction can be the result of a combination of biochemical, genetic, and environmental factors. In addition, they may be lured into gambling.

That's the worse thing to happen, committing suicide as a result of having that kind of addiction and nothing left, but a ruined life and relationship with people who care about you before.

Either you become a criminal or taking your own life to escape with the burden of getting addicted,
things that madness can take you if you engage too much with gambling.

Right, those scenarios are possible but sometimes I think that when talk about those kind of problems we mostly talk about the extreme scenarios. None of us is supposed to underestimate the extend of the damage that can be caused by unattended gambling addiction, but committing suicide or becoming a thief sounds like something with could not happen as often as we assume. I would need to find some study in Google Scholar to verify it.

Probably those who have gambling problems realize about it and can overcome it over time, or perhaps they face economical risks of bankruptcy, but not commit suicide.
I like to think that being addicted is not an instant condition which seals our destiny.
Suicide or becoming a total thief happens frequently. When a person is addicted to gambling when they have been cornered. It will entail consequences, gamblers will feel mentally unstable, and They will find alcohol or drugs. Gradually they will become addicted to those things simultaneously. Their harm can be doubled. As we said, we will see a frenzy in this situation.

Some people are pained after losing and they will want to recover their money back, that’s one of the things which makes people addicted to gambling, if you are trying to win back the money you have lost, and when doing that, you are still going to lose more money, which will be difficult for you to stop gambling, some people are addicted to gambling but whenever you tell them, they will never agree that they are addicted to gambling, most of them will say they know what they are doing and after the win back their losses, they are going to stop gambling, but they will never win it back so they won’t be able to stop gambling.

That’s why most people in the society see gambling as a bad thing, addicted gamblers do crazy things just to make money to gamble, they always end up doing things which makes people think that gambling is bad, people in the society don’t care if you are addicted to gambling or not, if they know that you are a gambler, then they believe that you are a bad influence to the society, but nothing is bad in gambling, just that the addiction aspect is the one that’s bad.
It's not just the losers who want their lost money back. But even the one who is always lucky in this game will keep playing. They will bet the big money they win because they feel making money easy. And the cycle of winning and losing keeps repeating that they can't stop gambling. Ultimately, they lose all their money, status, family, and friends. Only then did they realize that they were too wrong to fall into gambling, then it was too late.
In this gambling game, the one who knows enough and the one who knows to stop at the right time is the winner.

There is only one type of bitcoin in this world, the rest of the names like bitcoin cash, Bitcoin SV are not bitcoins, they are just shitcoins like other shitcoins on the market. As a newbie, you should only focus on bitcoin and stay away from other shitcoins to avoid unfortunate incidents from happening.

Furthermore, to better understand the difference between bitcoin and altcoin, I think you can search them yourself using google. These are the basics, you should spend a lot of time learning about them if you don't want to lose money in this market.
271  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as good store for value on: August 14, 2023, 11:18:15 PM
Well, OP, if you just know why many people choose to invest in Real Estate than Bitcoin, you probably have the idea. But I gonna tell you that it is because of the volatile sentiment of Bitcoin. Yeah, I would agree that people are thinking for a profit because they are investing in it and they are expecting ROI. It is somehow you know that the volatility of Bitcoin many investors suffer losses but if you are investing in Real Estate, they are sure about their profit earned, not losses. Bitcoin is a good investment ONLY if you can hold it and never think it was a safe haven because of its volatility.
I agree with you, I really don't understand why people call bitcoin a store of assets while bitcoin is very volatile and arguably the most volatile of all asset classes. If we want to find a store of value, we should use gold or real estate, not bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a digital property that can be bought without any other expenses attached to it unlike some physical properties expecially Real Estate that has other much expenses that is needed to be spent
That particular type of uniqueness is what sets bitcoin apart from other assets. When you have bitcoin as a store of value for your assets, no further charges should be incurred. Your only responsibility is to store your seed phrase safely. You can decide to take it anonymously and go wherever you want without anyone being aware of how valuable your assets are in bitcoin. 

What you are saying is that bitcoin is just a store of assets, it is not a good store of value because of its volatility. Are you willing to buy bitcoin for $50k and use it when it drops to $15k? That is why it is not considered a store of value like gold.

Tottenham did not start as expected, earning just one point after a draw. Tottenham starts the new season with a trip to the home field of Brentford. In the first match as captain, Son Heung Min became a "criminal" with a foul that made Tottenham suffer a penalty in the 27th minute. Tottenham's lines still need sharpness and an effective striker like Kane. Striker Richarlison often creates disturbances for the opponent's defense but needs to be more sensitive when he can score goals. This will cause Postecoglou to have a headache when the team no longer has a legendary scorer.

Tottenham will have to learn to live without Harry Kane after years of depending on the striker's goals.

Tottenham I must say played well in this game as they were playing against strong opponents today,Brentford when playing at home is a great team which usually deliver good results.Richarlison is also a great scorer and I think he is as good as Kane in the scoring goals comparison.That penalty made the game more open and after that Brentford even turned the game around and were most probably closer to winning this game.I am sure Tottenham will improve in the coming weeks but I see very difficult for them to achieve the top 4 spots during this season.
Tottenham is only a mid-range team if it breaks up with Harry Kane. They will fall out of the top 10 of the Premier League if they continue the current status. Son Heung Min needs help to shoulder the responsibility of the leader. No one in the squad will be brave enough to step by step become a good scorer like Kane.
With Kane's transfer money, Tottenham should intend to bring in an excellent rookie If they don't want to be easily crushed by big clubs. For me, at the moment, Tottenham cannot be called okay. The problem may have reached the red alert level.

£30 million paid by West Ham to sign Maguire is a reasonable fee compared to the initial £20 million that was rejected for a player signed in 2019 with a record fee of £80 million for a defender, Maguire took the decision to join West Ham for his best interest, firstly he will enjoy a regular playing time to put his international duty on track else hevwould have been benched in Man Utd by Erik ten Hag who has five defenders in the squad such as Martinez, Varane, Lindelof, Evans and Shaw, lastly there will be ease of pressure on him while playing for West Ham compared to Man Utd where too much pressure on him always resulted to commit errors during matches, I think he will settle down well and perform better in his new club.
Yes, Maguire is always under tremendous pressure. In terms of capacity, Maguire is one of the successful pillars of England. But Maguire has gone from being one of England's most popular players to becoming a scapegoat. The criticism he received became more and more cruel. Mocking Maguire has become a habit for many people on social media. But many people were too heavy and harsh on him. And because he is the captain of Man United, the pressure is even more terrifying. This leads to Maguire's style becoming increasingly bogged down, nostalgic, and cumbersome. Coming to the West Ham club, he should forget the criticism and rebuild his reputation.
It is very reasonable if Maguire is under tremendous pressure because he was bought at a very expensive price by Man United so the expectations are definitely high. He has passed 4 seasons but instead of making a meaningful contribution, he often made blunders that made Man United lose. If he chooses to stay at Man United, the pressure he will face will be even greater, therefore moving to West Ham is a good choice for his career.

Yes that's right, and indeed this is one of the strongest reasons why Manchester United are so disappointed in him and the Red Devils fans. He couldn't compete with the other players there and made so many mistakes that Ten Hag stripped him of his captain's armband for Bruno Fernandes. I'm a little concerned about Maguire's condition, but that's the risk he has to take, he has no place at Manchester United and he will be a player in the West Ham defense next. We can know that lately his performance is very bad and often makes blunders as you say so that saves a lot of losses for Manchester United in every match. Now Maguire has accepted an offer from West Ham and I hope he can meet the expectations of his new manager and the West Ham fans.
 Maguire has to change and he has to be at his best in the coming season to prove to all those who have booed him that he is back.
However, Maguire has two years left with a salary of £ 190,000 a week at Manchester United. He enjoys a high wage at Manchester United, so he does not want to accept West Ham's salary offers. This is too large a number for West Ham to pay. Maguire does not want to reduce his salary. So the deal may fail to be successful. Maguire is thinking. If a quick decision is not made, West Ham will consider an alternative. This deal is considered a failure, and Manchester United cannot sell him in this transfer window.
Let's wait and see how Manchester United find a way to solve this problem.

276  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the market still profitable for new projects? on: August 12, 2023, 03:18:16 PM
I think it is still okay, there are some investors who only looking for new project so they can have chance to earn profit. I saw many dead coin in local exchange, that only matter of time the price of it become zero. the competition is getting tighter so the quality should be higher so those new project can get more investors.
If they are experienced investors, it is no problem to invest in new random projects. They know well how to take profits from the projects because they must already have enough experience. But for common investors or new investors, they are better to avoid to invest in new projects. Finding good new projects are difficult now, most of them just survive in a short time. It is not only about the competition, but the quality of new projects are decreasing. Many of them have weak fundamentals and have no clear future. We must be more careful to choose the new projects nowadays.



Right? Experience investors are more aware of what to look for and what risks they are getting themselves and their money into so investing in new projects are easier for them. However, new investors are still grasping the system and are more prone to getting scammed. That is why it is recommended for them to invest to already established projects.

Established projects, old project also has no guarantee that it will not crash or cause damage to newbies. In my opinion, newbies should stay away from all altcoins and should just focus on bitcoin and spend a lot of time cultivating knowledge. The altcoin market is very risky, it is no different from gambling than investing, so even experienced investors are not guaranteed to make a profit from it, let alone novices.
277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: August 11, 2023, 04:02:56 PM
yes, I think the main problem is avoiding to see reality as it is
many people approach gambling as a way to make easy money or relying on it as income when in reality it should be entertainment.

if it's too hard for someone to stop gambling they should seek help.
We play cards, games, shop, or want to eat something delicious. We all start with the same addiction problem. For example, a child playing a game is just a game. There's no benefit to it, but it can't stop playing because the kid is addicted to the game. Another example is that women are addicted to shopping, and obese people are addicted to food.

Gambling too, and sometimes they don't play for the money. Gamblers already have logic in their 'behavioral addiction.'

But not many people realize it, even with the financial crisis and inflation going on, many people still don't care about how to hedge against inflation if it gets worse. Everyone wants to be rich but they just work harder to earn more fiat, they never thought to find an asset to replace fiat. Very few people realize that fiat currency is depreciating day by day and there will come a time when it won't be able to buy anything anymore.

Yes, absolutely.

It's basically the same as any other addiction. Alcoholics usually start with a single beer, then a bit more, then suddenly they are drinking every day, all day.

It's the same mechanism in the brain, the dopamine creation loop.

That is not of the most interestings parts of studying addictions, in my opinion. The dopamine creation loop, as you call it.

In the case of gambling I find it even more interesting because unlike smoking, or drinking alcohol, it does not involve the direct consumption of substances which can alter our central nervous system, but rather the brain gets used to its own dopamine production.  Because of this Gambling addiction can be closer in nature to other kind of dependences (which are called "psychological dependences"). For example, toxic relationships, when one day your partner loves you and suddenly they can physically hurt you.  Those unfortunate cases can be as uncertain to the outcome of a gambling session...
In a word, gambling is like drinking alcohol to relax after a tiring day at work or to entertain during a fun day. Get used to it and find it exciting and enjoyable to play.

But in the case of alcohol and tobacco addiction, it is called stimulant addiction. For example, cigarettes contain the ingredient "nicotine," which is an addictive substance. And about non-substance-dependent causes of addiction, Call it 'behavioral addiction. We can see it in gambling.

Well, ''PSG is just a scapegoat now'' sounds reasonable and quite funny. I just heard that PSG has taken down the giant wall of Kylian Mbappe in front of the Park of the Princes and stopped selling his jerseys. Indeed, now PSG does not have any special sanctions left. They are just trying to save some dignity for the management.
I advise them to lower their self-esteem and sit at the negotiating table. Should do what Kylian Mbappe asked, there will be a happy ending for both sides.
And one thing is that PSG is a scapegoat where Mbappe is a high priority player in the French national team, therefore if he does something that is detrimental to the French side I'm sure PSG will experience pressure. So the scheme is like this, the League 1 match will start soon and as we know Mbappe is not included in the main squad list, while the players he currently has are not so ideal in terms of attack. Relying on Dembele and Neymar who are both injury-prone, so like it or not, the fact is that Mbappe will be played. This means that the rest of playing until next season Mbappe will go according to plan. I support Mbappe in this matter, even though there are a few pros and cons because it provides a lesson for PSG in the future so that they no longer prioritize one player over other players.
Given a lot of power by PSG, Mbappe is free to roam, control almost everything, and hold the victory in his hand. This is an expensive lesson for PSG. I have the opposite opinion about Mbappe also playing next season. That is unlikely, even if Dembele and Neymar cannot play. PSG was determined to erase his image in the team.
