It is not possible to make predictions about this match. Anything can happen in this match. It would be foolish to bet on these matches based on statistics. The home team gets the advantage in these matches. Since AC Milan will play at home today, I want to put AC MIlan ahead in this match. At the same time, Milan could not win the last 4 matches. Their performance is a bit weak now.
I have seen people wager on any type of game at any given time. It is not foolish to wager on ANY game, if you want to then you could and you would just have fun, if you win then you win, if you lose then you lose. Even the big name clubs like Bayern or PSG or Madrid end up not winning games all the time and we are fine with that, why would we start to not wager on other games just because they are not great? At the end of the day, there are all kinds of bets and we should not be really worried about any sort of betting and just do whatever we want.

It doesn't mean that you will win, obviously you could lose and we all lose time to time, the thing that matters the most is having fun during that period.
2602  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What Altcoins will Rock in 2022. on: March 01, 2022, 04:35:31 PM
Well for me play to earn project is good for investment this year, together with the top 20 altcoins we need to always choose what we like or interested, it is hard to choose that is why we need to do research before we invest in different coin, because not every investment can surely earn sometimes investment plan will not happen according to what we plan that is why most of the investor will set a limit.
Play to Earn , I have seen the SPE has this feature recently and after a increase? yesterday it fell down to hundreds of percent making those who gather SPE with massive losses  and until this moment while the market is increasing ? yet this coin continues to fall lol.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/space-crypto-spe/
If that is a new project the risk for being a pumped and dumped is high but if it's an old project, that is normal. Not all coins can join other coins that are increasing right now but sometimes they only increase once the other coins are falling. Those who got the spe tokens can hodl and wait, panicking is not a solution because that can only make them a loser.

Same with what happened with axie, its token is also decreasing and the players are now selling it but axie was not a new play to earn game and rumours said that they will introduce a new feature soon. Maybe that can be the reason for their token to recover. The hype for play to earn games is still there and it's hard to choose a new project.
2603  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to hit $100k? on: February 28, 2022, 07:41:28 PM
It's hard to predict with certainty. But I think that the price of bitcoin is still in a downtrend in the middle of this year as long as last year's ATH level has not been reached. I still hesitate to dream of bitcoin hitting $100k this year. therefore, I can only wait until the doubt fades away. My hope is that this year the market will be bullish again and the price of bitcoin can reach at least around $70k.
There's still a lot of possibilities, even if it's $100k, I'm still sure it's possible. but maybe not the middle of the year, maybe at the end of the year we will be able to see a new ATH. Look at the world's economy which is currently still not good, even not only crypto but also in other sectors. I quite believe when the tension has decreased, everything will return to a state where crypto will continue to be mainstream and prices will also rise
If btc reached a really high price like 60k then why not 100k when they are not that far away? if there were only no obstacles in the way, we are already on that price where everyone is dreaming of but speaking of obstacles, the latest that we have now is I guess the wars between Ukraine and Russia but I don't think this can last for a long time and once this was over, btc can get back on track again.

Wars might have affected the price causing it to go down but it didn't affect the fame of bitcoin, bitcoins itself is still the mainstream and cant you see even the price is dumping right now, it was still being talked about. Add in that Ukrainian country are asking donations in the form of bitcoin.
2604  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH and BTC deserves the biggest space in our crypto portfolio on: February 28, 2022, 06:21:15 PM
Gowithme was just another ico hype project, with its broad concept and the team where unable to develop it accordingly, am surprise you are bringing that project up because the hype didn't last for too long before the value start depreciating and the community went suddenly quite, it seem the team already had their pocket filled and have no need to further the development of the project,
The success of a project depends on the determination of the team, don't expect to see volume when there is nothing new coming from the team.
Don't worry as it looks like he is not shilling that dead project because he already highlighted bitcoin and etherium on his title and on his main post. Only few projects that are from the year 2018 have survived this far, I think that is because there are now newer chains other than etherium.

There are even old projects that are based on etherium but are now moving to binance chain and polygon because they see that newer chains are now popular. I think the high fees in etherium is also the reason for this. If the team is willing, they will do anything to keep the project alive. We need to support projects like that, that are striving aside from investing in bitcoin and etherium.
2605  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Diversifying Your Portfolio in Crypto on: February 28, 2022, 02:48:55 PM
We need to understand the meaning of diversifying the portfolio. I know a friend of mine who bought 15 - 20 differend altcoins and when i asked him the reason, he told that he was taught of not to put all aggs in one basket. I didn't like his approach as it is difficult to manage and track all these trades at a same time.
Ideally, 4 to 7 coins are enough to trade and for investment. Buying more coins just increases the complexity and not easy to manage, especially for a new trader.
Is your friend didn't know that you know something about crypto? better if he ask for your suggestions than seeking for other people that he didn't know because someone can fool a newbie to invest in the shitcoins. Not putting eggs in one basket doesn't mean you will invest in 20 kinds of cryptos but getting two basket (coins) and divide your egg (money) on it is already understood.

It's okay if you invest more than two coins but as long as these coins are top old coins and not those new meme coins or unpopular coins in the market. Not only that it will be hard to manage but new coins can often make changes and if you cant cope up to the change your gonna lose your coin.
2606  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Be a wise investor on: February 28, 2022, 02:10:14 PM
As investors, of course we have to be wise, market conditions are never stable so we have to be patient, many panic when they see prices drop and have not recovered so they choose to cut losses, I think this is a mistake because it will make you regret, I always be patient to hold because I've known crypto for a long time, since 2013 when there was a bitcoin boom from $100 to $1000.
Panic sellers are experts because they always do that so I don't think the word regret is in their vocabulary. Those who will only feel it are the ones that aren't used to it but that's okay, all of us can make a mistake.

Market condition is unstable so let's not be afraid to make a profit once you have a chance to do so. That is better than waiting and then your not sure to continue because of some reasons so you sell at a loss and besides when you sell at some profit, you can still use that profit to buy after a short change in the price. This doesn't make you rich in an instant but it helps a lot you know. I didn't mean you follow it bro but of course, you can pursue your career of being a holder.
2607  Economy / Economics / Re: Putin next steps and where it may fail spectacularly on: February 27, 2022, 08:53:23 PM
I am awaiting if other countries will help them in this war. Germany already are supplying weapons to Ukraine. But no country yet are waging war alongside with Ukraine as Putin declared that there will be ramifications for those who will intervene in this war. I believe some countries are still weighing on how can they help in this situation. They are more on talks right now, but they should not wait any longer as Putin is ready to destroy this country. He won't back out now if he doesn't get what he wants. I hope this will end the soonest as more and more civilians are being affected on this war.
Only weapons they supply? what about soldiers? I think it is also needed because I can see that even the regular citizen of Ukraine are now being forced to fight but what can these poor people do? they didn't have any experience. Maybe the Germans are also scared when they hear Puttin say those things because they know his attitude and they know that Russians are a strong type of people. They better hurry up because puttin is heating up. I'm afraid that more and more places are going to get damaged as the war continues.

We that are away, praying is the only thing that we can do, for now. I remember that we can also donate our cryptos. They also need it right now.
2608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 27, 2022, 07:24:01 PM
82 minutes of the match has been running between Roma against Spezia but still not a single goal has been scored in this match.
Honestly, I'm quite disappointed with Roma's performance in this match because they still haven't been able to score a goal even though their opponent is only playing with 10 men.
I don't know if Spezia's defense is really that strong or if Roma are really weak and can't take advantage of the opportunities with the advantages they have.
A very frustrating win for Roma as they completely fail to have any good advantage of ten men Spezia and have penalty in 98th minute which give them must want 3 points and sixth spot in Italian league table Abraham with this goal now fourth in top scorers list, but Roma still can drop out from this spot if today Lazio win against Napoli in their home match which is going to start after few minutes.

But, after watching today match I am feeling now Mou is going to be very bad as coach for any top ranked team because in last few years he completely fails to have any good result, hopefully in next few years we will vanish him from this spot because now his tactics are not working for anyone if he wants to stay at top then surely need to do work on these and change things for better results.
2609  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The way things are going with new crypto is worrisome on: February 27, 2022, 06:40:33 PM
Almost everyone I knew now creates their own tokens  Grin these guys aren't even crypto developers to begin with, they have no coding experience or knowledge now this makes me worry, imagine how many crypto tokens that are created by inexperienced personal, I think we need to buckle up for there will be huge rain of scam tokens upon us than what we've seen before...... Sigh! I wish that only few qualified people knew how to build blockchain projects.
Right now, there are now platforms that allow non-techy people to create their coins or tokens. I don't know how this works but I think you are only going to write what concept do you want or choose on their pre-created concept and then pay them. Some people claim that they can create crypto for you.

Coins that came from these platforms or came from the mind of ordinary people, should not be marketed in public because those people have lack knowledge. Coins that they created are strictly for personal use only. Don't say that they are a scam because it is the same as telling your friends that they are scammers.
2610  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is There a Bitcoin Supercycle? Is this the end of 80% drawdowns? on: February 27, 2022, 06:01:59 PM
$20k price drop can only happen if there’s a WW3 but I think many countries realize that they can’t afford to intervene between Russia and Ukraine, this is why the price of Bitcoin recovers. For now, it looks more stable and I think there’s still a chance for a price peak this year, let’s just hope for a better situation and hope that the war wont happen at all.
Can't imagine the world if there will be another ww3 that will happen. The effects of the current war are already devastating, I think this is enough already. not only a 20k drop can happen if there will be a ww3 but maybe the price of btc can plunge down to zero because people will panic and sell. If more lives have been killed, there were hardly be btc users.

The war between Russia and Ukraine has an effect on the btc price where prices now are dumping. It hasn't recovered yet till the wars subsided but don't worry, what you wish for the price to recover can surely happen by this year because we still have a long way to go for the year to get ended.
2611  Economy / Economics / Re: China's strategy on the Ukraine invasion war on: February 27, 2022, 02:56:45 PM
The reason why Ukraine has become so close to NATO that it has caused Russia to go on a rampage cannot be separated from Joe Biden's behind-the-scenes intervention as US president and his son's energy business being there.  China itself is not entirely happy, however the condition of bilateral relations between China and Russia will definitely be in this war directly, which is even more pleasing to the US because they are the ones who pit the two countries against each other even though they are still in the same family and are brothers.  The Ukrainian president did not act wisely in bringing himself closer to NATO, regardless of economic and other matters.  The point is never to take sides, because he is flanked by 2 blocks that are very heavy in history.
I would guess that the president of Ukraine getting 70%+ vote by promising to join Nato and EU was WAY before Biden became president. If you really think that it was Biden that started all of this then you were brainwashed by Eurasian media as well.

Zelensky promised to join Nato and EU before he became a president, that was literally the platform he ran on and people voted for him because they wanted to join EU as well, and that is how he became the president and this was during Trump, Biden wasn't even elected. Then Ukraine officially declared they want to join and only thing Biden could be guilty of would be saying they are fine with Ukraine joining and Russia should back off.

Not like Ukraine had no intention at all and then suddenly Biden said they should, this isn't a situation like that. Russia is the ONLY guilty party here, nobody else, anyone else trying to find a guilty person would be siding with Russia from here on out in my view.
2612  Economy / Economics / Re: Canada to freeze Freedom Convoy Protestors bank accounts... on: February 27, 2022, 08:32:20 AM
let us hope that Canadians have their eyes open and decide to change the people at the head of the government as this is simply unacceptable, as long as a protest is peaceful people should have the right to express their opinion without being afraid of suffering violence from the government, and even if they are not being hit by police offers directly, the fact they are freezing the accounts of those that are protesting is an act of violence no matter how we look at it.
Well, one thing I know the government would do for sure is to try anyways possible to stop people from protesting. When there is a protest, there are two options and it’s either going to be that the government agrees to what the protesters are saying or they disagree to it. And one thing they know for sure is that if they should disagree to the wants of the protesters, then the protest continues until they either agree to it or do something to stop the protest from moving forward.

So, the government has done what they feel is best to stop further protest, and in this case Bitcoin would be the only option for the protesters to circumvent whatever obstacle the government has laid.
2613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: February 26, 2022, 09:06:05 PM
PSG are 1-0 behind against St Etienne right now. They conceded a very early goal and we will see how quickly they will react to it. The attacking line is great now. We have Mbappe - Messi - Neymar trio at the same time. An attacking line like this should be able to score as fast as possible against a team like St Etienne. I might be underestimating them but they are really one of the worst teams this season. Maybe their recent form is good but PSG wouldn't care about it as long as they really want to win.
Mbappes 42nd minute goal bring this match on level after very early lead from very spirited and well organized St Étienne because mostly fans were feeling this is going to be one-sided match and PSG will demolish them, but they are doing very good job giving very tough time in first half even PSG enjoying very good in ball possession with 70% but still there are no serious threats for opponents if they keep this spirit in second half and able to stop PSG attack them hopefully they will be able to have one very important and another good result because after touching bottom of French League now they are doing very good in last four matches and having better position which is out of relegation zone and for staying here it's very important for them to do good against PSG in today match.
2614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You Must be Over 18 years on: February 26, 2022, 08:46:46 PM
Online casinos usually require the minimum age of 18 years, what is the same in most countries to enter physical casinos. When entering a physical casino you have to show your ID. For online casinos such verifications come at the withdrawal process. A minor could potential start gambling at an online casino, but his winnings would be frozen if he tries to withdraw them. Gambling alone as a minor is dangerous and can lead to gambling addiction down the round. There should be some form of oversight from the parents for what the kids are doing online. And if you are 17 and can't wait for your 18th birthday, maybe just ask your dad to gamble together a bit. He could even teach you something.
Online casinos are also like physical casino, not all physical casinos are strict and requires an ID before you can gamble. People under 18 of age can gamble ex. 15, 16, 17 but lower than those numbers can seem to be inappropriate already as they will look very young. Guards or older people on that place is going to be concerned to stop them playing.

Gambling as a minor is dangerous not only because your early to expose in the habit but because casino personal can forcibly ask for your ID by the time you withdraw your winnings and they can call your parents to let them know the situation, you are going to get busted if your plan is to gamble secretly.
2615  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is one but has many attributes on: February 26, 2022, 07:26:55 PM
Bitcoin is a digital currency to everyone but, it's not proper to stop there when having a conversion with somebody about bitcoin since they are other characteristics or attributes of bitcoin to discuss. This is where the different perspective creeps in which then varies according to the person's profession or position in life and their other thoughts about bitcoin. However, digital currency is the primary definition.
Yes, there is a lot to Bitcoin. It’s just like when I got to know about Bitcoin newly, I firstly thought that it was just for transactions only, and that was in 2015. I never knew much about it and never knew that it can also be a really good asset to hold.

So, I just bought some bitcoins with plans that I will use them for some transactions later, I never knew how it works because the article I read only described it as a payment method. But later when I noticed how the value kept changing , I had to go further to do more research, and that was when I started to understand the true value of this currency.
Same when I was new. That is normal because that is the basic definition of btc. The year 2014 was still an early time for btc and most article writer also also a newbie like us, which why the info they supply is not enough but later on during the 2017 hype, this was the time btc became very well known and people are researching more about btc and find out that btc is more than just a currency but it can do very well on other use cases.

Right now, all the newbies think that btc is more of an asset where they can make money if they invest and not as currency. There is nothing wrong with this, they can choose if which side of btc they like.

Empoli   V  Juventus

I didn't think Juventus would lose a point against Empoli. I put my money on Juventus' victory in this match. As Juventus fight for fourth place in the table, gaining 3 points in this match is very important for them. If they do not win this match, Atalanta will move to fourth place in the table.
Despite a 1-1 draw till the 45th minute of the first half, Dusan added another goal to give Juventus the lead. However, Emploi has made several good attacks. Looks like they don't want to lose the home match.
Vlahovic magic working for Juventus and at the end of first half they are leading by 1 - 2 which is very good after we have many mystery results in Italian league with too many draws and loses for top ranked teams having some good changes and now Juventus can feel comfortable because now they are at top fourth which was looking not good in start of bad season but good change of mind and better strategy now giving them good results and specially this new signing is having big impact on their attacking power Vlahovic is really great talent and now turning tables for his new club.
 
Now second half is also going to be very interesting as Empoli is not going to lose easily at home against them, so we can watch too many twists and very entertaining soccer from these both teams for full 3 points.

Probably he is holding lot of PoS coins and missed out investing on PoW at the earliest stages so he wanted to make everyone wrong. Roll Eyes

Does government knows the difference between PoW and PoS? I don't think so.
Lol, that’s quite a funny question Cheesy. Literally just anyone can know what PoW cryptocurrency is by googling it, you know right? So there isn’t much difficulties in doing that. But would it have any effect if they should go ahead and do it? I guess not, because EU is jot the only place there is in this world. Would they do it?

We are not sure, because we also know that there would definitely be people in there at the top who are fully in support of cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and are ready to kick against any suggestion like that. For now we would wait and see if it would happen. But, I feel that it is something that is unlikely to happen? I hope so.
2618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread on: February 26, 2022, 08:18:50 AM
because the winners are determined by votes of the Academy of motion picture arts and sciences members. This will be similar to match fix an election because someone made a bet hehehe. You thought the winners are determined only by judges?
Welp, good thing it works like that, as long as the voters are many in numbers and in different place to avoid influincing each other then it would be a relief.
The only hard thing to do is to watch all of the best movies/entries and decide the vote.
Influencing others? I think the more the people the more the influence can happen but no matter how low or high the voters are but if they will decided to cook the voting or the competition, it will be cooked. For those who didn't know the term cook or cooking is like a biased or unfair way of judging.

We think a judge is not enough to judge the quality of the films but we didn't know what if those judge are better than the other (academy of motion picture and science members) but that's fine if they are included, that can gave us extra confidence that the voting is fair. Watching the films carefully in our own can help us know if the judging was accurate or not.

In the face of the current crisis that is happening between Russia 🇷🇺 and Ukraine 🇺🇦  Billionaire Salinas is positive in Bitcoin future and has advised investors to buy bitcoin.
He made a really good recommendation and I would suggest people to take him serious. Anyone who is not investing in Bitcoin now is really going to be missing out on a lot of things in the future. Bitcoin provides us with a big opportunity, big opportunity that the world has never seen before.

So, it is really important that anyone who knows about this should start taking that opportunity right now. Especially right now that the price of Bitcoin is so low, it is now the perfect time for us to start up our investment in Bitcoin and not miss this good one that we have now. The price of Bitcoin would still go up, this bearish trend is just for a while, maybe for a year or two and it will be done, And you would see the price moving up again.
2620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 25, 2022, 03:14:31 AM
In fact, they won't pay a transfer fee for Mbappe.  I must say that the transfer fee for Haaland is not very high.  Salaries can push Real Madrid.  Because of this compulsion, perhaps the transfers will not take place.  But if they can find a sponsor then things can change.  I can't think of a Real Madrid line that will make both transfers.  They have a great forward line for many years with these two players.
That not true and fact Madrid ever ask PSG and pay almost as expensive player transfer but PSG is reject agreement offering by Real Madrid and now become free transfer player, I don't see happy with PSG because he want ask his player keep stay in and now have new offer where Mbappe will be as free salary player on the world, but not any achievement and deal between Mbappe and PSG with new offer giving and he has planning move to Real  Madrid next season, but still waiting few months later to know what Mbappe future keep stay with PSG and moving to Real Madrid as new club.
The transfer money and salary are different things. There is no transfer cap, you can spend a billion dollars and nobody would say anything about it, they can't say anything about it. However, there is a salary cap and that means that you could spend a billion dollars to get Mbappe, but you can't pay 201 million euros for him yearly, it will be illegal. Which means you need to make sure Mbappe+others salary needs to not go above the salary cap.

Look at Barcelona, they had to get rid of Messi and other great players just to keep themselves under the salary cap. They are looking better than they start the season but it took them a while to handle all of this. I am not saying that Madrid can't afford Mbappe, but just because they were able to offer a lot doesn't mean they can afford him.
