Well it is not the goalkeeper fault most of the times unless he concedes goals with shots from distance frequently which is not the case.Andre Onana shined really bright at Inter Milan and he surely is better for me as a goalkeeper compared to De Gea who had his time at Manchester United.

Manchester is weak this year in almost every sector from defense to attack and I agree the only one at fault this season is Ten Haag,he started doing well in the previous season when he just got Manchester United but this time he is not doing anything good so far.

I think a lot of people had really high expectations from Onana when he was brought in. As these expectations haven’t been met, they would be quick to lay all the fault on him whenever they concede a goal conveniently ignoring that it takes the whole team to either win or lose.

I know Onana has a lot of potential and even Ten Hag despite all the goals conceded, still has faith in him. I do think Onana is unjustly faulted for their losses. Would they also fault him for not doing enough in aiding to score goals to win games as well?
Man United do need to step up their game. Poor performance even in the EPL.

Man United is a big side in the Premier League earning that number one position comes with a big load only few can carry. The earlier people realize Onana is not the problem. The better they stop blaming him. I know for the fact that he is stubborn and have seen issues arise with his country but blaming the goalkeeper for the flaws of Man United defense is not the right thing for anyone to do.
The coach Ten Hag had success with him at Ajax same goes for Antony and they are trying to make that happen again but this will be challenging. Can Man United finally get a win over Brentford. That club is very strong too.

Manchester United should be able to win against Brentford in my opinion. Because first of all Brentford is not in good form at all right now. They do not have a single win in the last five matches. Actually, they have only one win so far in the seven matches that they have played in this season. Compared to that, I will definitely say that Manchester United is performing better.

But at the same time, Manchester United has also been inconsistent. I actually see this as a big opportunity for Manchester United to get all three points. If Manchester United cannot get three points from these matches, it is definitely going to be a problem for them.

The price of bitcoin may or may not increase all that in this month of October. Things might change if the demand collapsed. Although one can judge from the past record, it is not to be completely on that. For me, l am guessing a price increment between $27000 and 29000 in this month of October.

At least you think the price of bitcoin will rise to $27k and $29k, I wish to see that happening before we enter the second week of October. I still don't know why it took so long before the price got to $27k, with the way it was going up last month I thought it would get to a surprising amount like $29k and now we would be thinking of the price getting to $30k or even $32k but the month is still young let's hope for green.

There isn't much volume or momentum in the bitcoin market which has resulted the price remins between $26k to $29k. However $30k proves to be a strong resistance level for bitcoin so breaking it will be a challenging task. What you are predicting will be difficult to achieve. I am expecting a little bit of negativity towards the end of 2023 as there can be new fud for binance.

Did I miss something, what are the new fuds about Binance?  I remember that the news regarding the lawsuit between Binance.us and the SEC was over and had almost no impact on the market anymore. 

In fact, we are only expressing our expectations about bitcoin because we have no solid evidence of our predictions about bitcoin.  therefore, each person will have different predictions because each person's expectations are different.  as for me, I remain optimistic that October will be a good month for bitcoin and that we can reach our target of $30k or $31k before the end of the month.
263  Economy / Speculation / Re: $35,000-$37,000 for Bitcoin in 2023 as my peaking barrier, is breakout feasible? on: October 05, 2023, 03:32:06 PM
I'm still optimistic that the market will be a bull run at the end of the year, even though this week there was a correction of more than 12% but the opportunity for a rise is very large because at the beginning of 2024 there will be a halving day, maybe this year the highest price that can be reached is around $45k. great opportunity to buy more while the prices are still low.
I'm even confused about how you make predictions about the market and Bitcoin price for this year and next year. A 12% drop is a lot for Bitcoin at the current price and what confuses me is how you think that such a price increase could easily happen to Bitcoin by an amount greater than the percentage drop you said. If you look at the level of difficulty for Bitcoin to increase this month, it still seems quite difficult for Bitcoin to be at $45K by the end of this year even if you associate it with the halving moment.

I'm expecting a strong bull season post-halving but expecting bitcoin to hit $45k before the end of the year is also unlikely for me.  there are only 3 months left until the end of the year and we are even struggling with the resistance level of 30 thousand USD, so it is very difficult for the scenario of bitcoin to increase 1.5 times in the remaining 3 months.  unless big news like ETF approval is announced but that is also unlikely to happen this year. 32k$-35k$ is what we can expect, that would be more realistic.
264  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - what are we expecting for the rest of 2023? on: October 05, 2023, 03:23:12 PM
If the SEC complies with the request of the US congress about immediately approving the spot ETF, then we might see some recovery in this latter part of the year.  According to the news from Coindesk U.S. House Lawmakers Push SEC’s Gensler to Approve Spot Bitcoin ETF ‘Immediately’. four members of the House of Financial Services Committee called the SEC to approve ETF application since SEC lost a court fight over the decision to reject Grayscale's spot ETF.

If the SEC listen to the call of the US House Financial Services Committee on approving spot ETF, this might hype the sentiment of the market and enable the Bitcoin price to rally even before the hype of halving take effect.


There isn't any bitcoin ETF approval deadline this year. The first one we might see in January of 2024. There is FOMO forming up regarding bitcoin ETF and halving. Some experts predict this can be the biggest bitcoin rally we have ever seen. All the possible ETF approval deadline is around bitcoin halving in August. It seems they wanted to amplify the halving FOMO with this news event.

I also believe that the upcoming bull season will be the biggest and biggest bull season we have ever had.  The SEC cannot delay ETF approval forever, approval is just a matter of time and there needs to be a right time to announce and bull season is the perfect time.  not to mention the world economy will also enter a recovery phase in 2024-2025, which will be another strong catalyst for bitcoin.  so I believe we will have a big bull season in the coming years.

If you were in the position to give financial advice to someone looking for a long term financial investment, what would you advice?...


But do you think it is right to invest all that money in bitcoin?  i mean, what do you have to do to assure your friend that bitcoin will definitely bring him profit?  we all know that investing in bitcoin has greater risk than other investments or depositing money in banks.  therefore, you need to let your friend know about the risks of investing in bitcoin, don't just focus on huge profits and hide the risks of bitcoin from your friend.  you should give him full advice including the pros and cons of bitcoin and you should let him decide for himself.
266  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in bitcoin and forget the investment on: October 04, 2023, 03:40:53 PM
I think that any one that plan to become a billionaire in bitcoin this is the opportunity to invest in bitcoin against next bullrun.
There is no doubt that the next bull season that everyone is waiting for will bring good profits in Bitcoin. Investing in Bitcoin is a wish of every person but becoming a billionaire in Bitcoin is not that easy, because to become a billionaire it will require a huge amount of money to invest in Bitcoin. Which is impossible for small investors to invest such huge amount. If the value of Bitcoin 4x from here, you can imagine how much capital you would need to invest in Bitcoin to become a billionaire.


Even if bitcoin increases 10 times, we still have no chance of becoming billionaires unless we have hundreds of millions of dollars to invest in bitcoin.  Bitcoin is not a tool to help us get rich quickly or turn us from a poor people into a billionaire in a short time.

I'm expecting the price of bitcoin to rise in 2025 and 2026 so any investment in bitcoin  should be expected till next two years or three years time. Summary, invest in bitcoin and forget about the investment and hope that you will make profit after some years coming.

I think Bitcoin price is expected to increase more in 2024-25, because Bitcoin halving will happen in April 2024. The bull season usually starts six months to a year after the halving, so a pump in Bitcoin price is very likely in late 2024. We should invest in Bitcoin but don't forget it too much, because whenever you get a good profit exit the market with profit. Be sure to set your sell target in the same way that a buy target is set.

When the bull season comes, you can take profits and wait for the bear season to reinvest.  I don't think exiting the market after making a profit is a good idea.  the market is giving us a good opportunity to make money, why do we exit it after making a little profit?  we will not find a second market as good as this one.
267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season on: October 02, 2023, 11:54:08 AM
In this round, the two big teams didn't have much difficulty beating their opponents, with Galatasayau managing to win, in a game in which they only scored 2 goals and conceded 1 goal, in that game Galatasayau came as the favorite, but on the field despite the galatasaray's dominance the opponent showed very good defense, unfortunately the opponent's defense made the mistake of scoring a goal in their own goal and with that galatasaray left the game with victory when they scored the only goal, a very interesting fact in this game and that The opponent were the first to score a goal, but Galatasaray managed to equalize and with their own goal they won the game. I don't know if Galatasaray was playing in a way that would save players for the next game they will have against headliner United

This next game will be a European Champions League game, luck is on Galatasaray's side in the next game, since Manchester United are not doing well in the local league, so this is a good chance for Galatasaray to win this game. against Manchester United and they could have a chance to stay in second place and this would increase their chances of moving on to the next stage, it was a very important victory in the league game mainly because they would have another important game to follow.

Meanwhile, their direct opponent, I'm talking about Fenerbahce, simply crushed their opponent, in a game in which Fenerbahce were seen on paper as the favorites, on the field they showed that all the bookmakers were right, they managed to score 5 goals and not They conceded no goals in that game against Rizespor, they had the most ball possession and the highest number of shots on target, they managed to be so good in defense that Rizespor only had 1 shot on target. Without a doubt, it was a game in which Fenerbahce crushed their opponents and with this victory they are at the top of the table. congratulations to fenerbahce

Contrary to popular belief, my prediction diverges from the consensus. I have heard a lot of people say that Manchester United is going to win the next match against Galatasaray without too much problems. But I am going to say that Galatasaray is going to be the winner of this match.

First of all I thought it might be a draw, but now I definitely think that this match is not going to be a draw. I also don't think Manchester United will win. They have played quite a few matches so far this season and they have not been able to win consistently. This is going to be the same with Manchester United I believe. I actually think Manchester United needs to get a new coach. Because recently I don't like the decisions that Ten Hag is making. Well, to be honest, I never liked any decision that he took. But now he is not even getting the results.
268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: October 02, 2023, 10:00:22 AM
The USA hosted the World Cup years ago and he hosted it without a problem they are a country with experience in hosting great tournaments, also America is where you can find many people and tourism from all over the world, which can be the reason to say there will be a gun and fascinating world cup in 2026 because of the USA hosting it. Also unlike Qatar, they don't need to spend millions of dollars to build sports facilities and that's why hosting World Cup will be cheaper for them.
I wouldn't forget USA 94 in a hurry. Although I was a little kid but I watched many games each time I had the opportunity. The organization was okay because I never recalled hearing any news of poor management before, during and after the competition. I don't think anyone will doubt the ability of the US to host a successful World Cup competition. This is because the country has experienced technological advancement better than 29 years ago.
The USA is a country with good potential and they can host the World Cup perfectly without problems as they had before but the only thing about the USA compared to other countries is mostly about the interest of other people in football in this country because we know in the USA, football is not even their second sport but I think this won't be a problem because there you can find many fans and visitors from all over the world watching the games.
The US soccer league might not be one of the best in the world but the national team is highly ranked by FIFA. The US national team is the 11th best team in FIFA ranking while the recent World Cup host is ranked 61st. Indeed, soccer is not their major sport but the country also has a high population of soccer fans that will fill stadiums during the World Cup. The addition of fans from other parts of the world will make the competition a memorable one.

I think right now, it is going to be a problem to host any tournament in the USA. That's because all the bullshit that is going on. Starting with the “ LGTV+q”, black lives matter, Just stop oil and all other bullshit, we have seen some really dumb things happening in the USA in recent times. I have also seen those just stop oil people running into a tournament and throwing paint all over. That has happened in table tennis tournaments, tennis tournaments, and also probably in football tournaments as well.

 So right now, I do not think it is a good time for the USA to host any tournament, to be honest.

You can also start a loan and find a bank that offers a small interest, your money right now will be the reserve money, and your loan money will be used to run the business. The possible income will pay for your debt and if ever that it doesn't work, you can still have a reserved money.
I'm not against borrowing money for business, but first you need to be sure of your plan.  you should not borrow money to start a business if you do not have a clear plan and just want to try with business.  moreover, with $15k and wanting to do business, we can also start a small business without needing a bank loan because borrowing capital will create more pressure for us.  borrowing money will make us more stressed and distracted. 

I don't know what it is like in your country, but in my place with a capital of 10k-15k, we can do a small business and still leave some savings.  there are many small business models with moderate capital that we can start, limiting borrowing.
270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: October 02, 2023, 09:36:52 AM
The PSG team was too busy with the Mbappe problem so they forgot a lot of things and what happened this season was quite bad for the PSG team, I saw several of the PSG team's matches and in my opinion there was no good teamwork in Luis Enrique's squad and even at the end Last week they couldn't win against the team at the bottom of the standings, this was quite embarrassing.
Mbappe is PSG's burden. It is true that he is a player who has extraordinary talent, but the issues he has developed since the start of this season will have an impact on all players. I agree with you, PSG is too busy with the Mbappe problem so their basic goals are forgotten, I'm sure that when Mbappe leaves PSG will play better and more solidly, the coach will find it easier to implement strategies.

Quote
It is clear that if PSG does not improve completely then it is very likely that they will not win any titles this season and currently there are several Ligue 1 teams that are starting to get better, making it possible for there to be fierce competition in the race for the title.
Total improvement may take time, friends, it can't take a few weeks for them to immediately become stronger, especially with a new coach, they need a transition. But now PSG has started to change its transfer policy by not being overly ambitious in buying expensive players who are labeled as stars but who have no contribution to the team. Now they are buying players according to the club's needs because building a solid and compact team takes time and adaptation. Enrique just needs time, everything needs a process.

The team is in a lot of problems, I think if you want to have a good result from a new coach, you have to give him some time.  and this is also just the start of the season. With time I think he will be able to bring in better results.

But he will also have to fix a lot of problems in the team. I don't know if he will possibly be able to do that or not.  Of course there is another thing. About Mbappé, will he stay in the team or not is also a big question. Nothing is certain as of yet. We all heard that he was definitely going to leave the club. But now things might take a different turn.

There are many people around us, where their income is not enough to manage a family how do you manage your family and economy? There are many people who manage their family very well even though their income is very low in their personal life, how do you manage it?

Although it may sound difficult for someone with a low income and a large family, actually when we are in that situation, we will always have a solution that suits our situation.  I was also in that phase, when I didn't have much money, I would stop spending on everything like coffee, beer, buying new clothes... I just focused on providing enough food for my children.  whenever I think back, it was really extremely difficult but I was able to maintain it for 2 consecutive years before my life got better. Depending on each person's situation, we will have our own solution, it's difficult to give good advice because everyone is different.
272  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for October on: October 02, 2023, 09:17:56 AM
September is red and October will be green, optimistic with Bitcoin price this month will raise to higher price and my voted "Break out above 30k and stay there" for bitcoin price. Second days of October, Bitcoin success make good progress with few percent up from $26k until current price today reached to $28k above and looks have promising for this month Bitcoin back above $30k. Optimistic with usually habit bitcoin every month on October make benefit for bitcoin have positive news and make price up drastically.
Lest forward first week of October will get correction or Bitcoin can defend on stable price above $28k, if drop under $27k seems not chance to see green market on October will be the same on September bitcoin have been dropped.
That is quite possible and after seeing the significant Bitcoin price movement at the beginning of October, I am even more convinced that in October we will again see a price of $30k.
That's a pretty realistic target after looking at what happened in the past and the current Bitcoin price development, and if there is no negative global news then I'm pretty confident of seeing $30k again in the near future, even in the last 2 days it increased Bitcoin is doing pretty well, it will continue to do so.

I also picked bitcoin to exceed $30k, but I think there will be a few corrections between now and the halving.  I mean bitcoin will reach 30k$ but it can't stay there, there will be a correction back to the 25k price range or even lower.  October and November are usually positive months for the market but there is no guarantee that everything will go according to script because we are still affected by the world economic situation.  so optimism is still something we should continue to maintain, but don't be too subjective, anything can happen.

Asian Games Men's Cricket Competition

Japan vs Hong Kong

Japan is playing its turn. And already played 10 overs and have a good run rate. They made 84 runs in 10 overs and 2 lost wickets. Japan is playing really well and if they will continue this performance so I think Japan will win this match easily. Because they are playing at good run rate.
Obviously Japan team give a tough target to Hong Kong (HK). This is the Eigth match out of 17 of Asian Games tournament. This is the second match of Japan of this tournament and they already won previous match against Colombia team. In this match, Japan team first come to pitch and bat against Hong Kong and they 127 runs and played 19 overs, also over left then all team got out. But this target was not enough for hong Kong and they chase it down in 18.5 overs and scoring 133 runs, also won by 5 wickets and 7 balls left. Mostly players of Japan out by scoring just 1 runs and below 10 runs and only Lachlan Yamamoto-Lake batsman contribute his best performance and made 62 runs.

It was a good performance from Hong Kong, they were able to score consistently. Almost all of the players of Hong Kong made sure that they had good contributions in the match. But I also definitely think that the target was not very big enough. With such a small target, it was really hard work for Japan. They had to perform really well to actually win the match. Which obviously they were not able to. Hong Kong performed well and did not lose wickets one after another. So they were able to win the match. But one positive for Japan is that they were pretty disciplined in the bowling. Did not give too many extra runs.
274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 01, 2023, 04:50:07 PM
Jude Bellingham leads the temporary top scorer list with 6 goals, he is developing well and his adaptation is progressing quickly. I think Ancelotti is very happy with Bellingham goal productivity which continues to increase, then Los Blancos will visit Napoli headquarters with confidence after beating Girona in a promising manner.
To show such a performance at Real Madrid at the age of 20, and that directly after a change, not everyone can do that. He was brought from Germany for over 100 million euros, which is sometimes an problem for a player, because the expectations are very high. Now he is even the most valuable player in the national team in England, behind him comes phil foden and bukayo saka. If Belligham continues like this, he could be the best transfer for real madrid in the last years.
He was one of Real Madrid's best purchases in the last transfer market, since being brought to the Bernabeu he has emerged as an important figure in the Real Madrid squad. His contribution has had a positive impact on Real Madrid, even though he is still very young he has been able to secure a place in the main squad.
I really like the way he plays, he is able to cover the gaps in Real Madrid's attack line even though his position is as a midfielder. He has a mission and ambition, his rapid development means his value is increasing, Real Madrid is very lucky to be able to get him.

He has proven to be worth the money. Real Madrid has thought about spending so much money on him for a long time. Of course, any club is going to have a good discussion before bringing in a player for such a huge amount of money. But I think we can say that he has been worth every penny. He has definitely proved that he is very important for Real Madrid already. Leading the top score list. I know that it will probably be changed later into the season because there are other players who will score more than him. But the start for him in this Real Madrid club has been explosive. The way he is performing right now, we can say that he is one of the best transfers that Real Madrid has made recently.

Leverkusen has won five games and shared the game they faced with Bayern Munich they have achieved good points so far from the six games they have played. It will be too early to start making comments on title contenders, let us enjoy the journey ad it goes to the end of the season.
Happy for a teams failure made me laugh. I understand that feeling, they Munich hav dominated for so long that everyone wants to see a new change and that of a new club winning the title. Leverkusen will go through many hurdles to win the title it won't go easy on them.
Liepzig face City and that will be a tough tie.
yes, but we can see competition from the top 7 teams in the standings. The Bundesliga will be even tougher if the competition is like this, and that is very interesting.
Last season we only saw Dortmund and Munich leaving other teams behind. but I hope this season will be more exciting when more teams compete consistently for trophies at the end of the season.
Leverkusen is probably the strongest team that will challenge Munich this season. and I hope Leverkusen can be consistent.
Yes, it true that Leverkusen currently seems to be a substitute for Dortmund last season because currently Leverkusen, after being coached by Xabi Alonso, this club has made huge improvements, even being able to beat big clubs or draw with other big club, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that Leverkusen will become a challenger. which is strong because it could surprisingly increase the performance of its players so that it can make competition even stronger and Bayern Munich has to work hard if it has to challenge 2 big clubs at once and apart from that, Leipzig also currently I admit has a big opportunity to disrupt Bayern Munich to get a position top again.
It a little thought that I sometimes think that Leverkusen also seems worthy of getting the Bundesliga title because they have previously won the title in this Bundesliga.

Bayern Leverkusen should be confident because they are leading the table in terms of points after only six games. Not in terms of goal difference and the biggest thing is that they have two points advantage over Bayern Munich. That is going to be really big for them.  Yes, I agree that in this season, we will probably see more teams being competitive for the Bundesliga title, not only Bayern Munich and one more team which happened last season. I really really want to see Bayern Leverkusen be able to win the Bundesliga title this time. I also think they have a real chance to do that, especially this time.

Because in the next season the coach, Xabi Alonso is definitely going to go to Real Madrid as a manager. So it is not going to happen in the next season.

Loved ones are turning to enemies, the divorce rate is rising and so many things are going wrong so trusting love one is becoming harder. Invest in Bitcoin and use your profits to invest in other business and have a will so if you die unexpectedly, the will can help distribute your wealth to your family.

Divorce or relatives not trusting each other...all of those conflicts, we can control.  if you always doubt your wife or loved ones just because of money, they have no reason to trust you.  I believe that if you are sincere with them, they will do the same.

Bitcoin is just money and if we lose it, getting it back is not too difficult, but if the relationship between husband and wife breaks down, it will affect the future of your children.  The happiness of a family depends entirely on us.  don't ask others to be honest with you when you're doubting them too.

I see many bitcoin investors tend to be more suspicious of their loved ones when sharing seed phrases with loved ones, you guys seem to worship bitcoin, valuing bitcoin more than anything else.  Bitcoin was not created to make relationships between relatives worse, that is not the purpose of Bitcoin.
277  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin always fight back on: October 01, 2023, 10:46:20 AM
Yeah, Bitcoin has experienced several significant downturns in price, but yet it still survived, even to the extent that some people on this forum and outside the forum were singing Bitcoin obituaries and believing that Bitcoin would die, but it sailed through the storms that it was faced with. Bitcoin will continue to win, in my opinion, and with the lot of attacks that Bitcoin is facing from both the government and hackers, I don't think there is any coin that could beat Bitcoin. Last year, some people even thought that the Bitcoin price would drop to $8k, while others thought it would go below $15k, but they were disappointed.

But I think the people who think bitcoin will fall to $8k or below $15k are not the same people who are saying bitcoin has failed or is about to die.  simply because those people want to buy bitcoin at the cheapest price possible because they know it is the best chance to make a profit.  I also personally predicted bitcoin would drop to $12k last year, and all I wanted was the opportunity to buy bitcoin as cheaply as possible.  I never thought that a further drop in bitcoin would be bad for bitcoin or possibly death for it.  they all just want to buy low and sell high.
278  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and gambling which one has done you more harm on: October 01, 2023, 10:35:42 AM
But I want to ask you if there are any similarities between bitcoin and gambling?  I mean comparing bitcoin to gambling, is it fair? One side is potential wealth and the other side is gambling. I don't think gambling has enough potential to compare to bitcoin or any other asset or financial market. Gambling is gambling and investing is investing, we should not make such lame comparisons. Why does no one compare gambling to stocks or forex, while we as bitcoin investors compare it to gambling?
There's no similarities, people just think of the old adage about life being a gamble and so they end up trying to to make it like all things are related to gambling when in reality it's not. Although it's a debatable thing, I don't think it's worth our time to ponder which is which and what are the distinctions. Gambling relies too much on luck meanwhile bitcoin doesn't, some might say that those who invested early were lucky but at that time, they didn't know the potential and they just bought in because they liked the concept.

I think the initial bitcoin buyers were not lucky but they had vision and belief in it.  those who say they are lucky are just jealous of other people's success.  many people knew about bitcoin very early, but why did so many people refuse it at that time and now feel regret for missing out on past opportunities?

Bitcoin is a currency, an asset, we should stop comparing bitcoin to gambling.  when we do that, we are underestimating the value of bitcoin when compared to gambling. has gambling changed the lives of many people, has it changed the world's finances? But bitcoin does.

Leipzig managed to take a 2-0 lead in just 26 minutes against Bayern Munich. Even though it was Leipzig's home match, Bayern Munich were considered favorites. But it was unexpected that they would back off so quickly. The Leipzig team is in great form. They have won their last 6 matches. And in most matches, Leipzig won by large margins. Looking at their performance in today's match as well, it seems that the team's only aim is to win this match.

If Leipzig wins today's match, the team will move to third or second place in the table. And if Bayern Munich lose today's match they will be fourth in the table. As Munich aims to win the title, every match is very important for them. Bayern Munich has a chance to make a comeback even after going down 2-0. The second half will probably be more competitive

Crap. Will it really be 0-3 against Leipzig again? I didn’t imagine that this could happen again, but so far Leipzig is completely outplaying Bayern tactically. Bayern cannot break Leipzig's massive defense, but Leipzig is successful in counterattacks. I don’t know what Tuchel can come up with in the second half - it’s enough for Leipzig to dry out the game and wait for a chance to score a third goal. The odds of them winning are now 1.3.

Well Bayern Munich did make a comeback in this match. Even though they were not able to win the match, they were able to get one point from this match. Which under the circumstances I will say is not a bad result for them. After being behind 2–0, finishing the match on 2–2 is definitely a respectable score in my opinion.

By the way, Harry Kane scored again, even though it was from a penalty. But he was able to successfully keep his "scoring in every match in the Bundesliga" thing alive. But anyway, I believe this is going to give a good advantage to the Bayern Leverkusen team. let's see how this approaches in the future.

There is actually nothing I can do except use it secretly from the authority. Yes, it is still illegal in my country. So what!? We still use it in our daily lives. Some are totally dependent on crypto. They are not doing any kind of job; expect crypto-based work, like trading, investing in crypto, mining, bounty and signature, etc. They provide for their family using crypto. One advantage we have is that here, crypto activity isn't regulated or monitored that strictly. Many know of it but don't dare say anything. All we can do now is use it anonymously until it is legalized. That's how we have been using it from the beginning.

Bitcoin is unstoppable, so even if we live in a country that bans bitcoin, as long as we keep it secret and invest in silence nothing will happen to us.  I remember many years ago when most governments banned it but people still actively invested in bitcoin and thanks to that it got the growth it has today.  so far, more countries have accepted bitcoin, so there is no reason we should stop investing in bitcoin because of a government ban.  over time, global bitcoin adoption is inevitable, we just need to keep quiet until then.
