Cavani going to Newcastle would be understandable.
Yeah, very much understandable. Cavani can't be a starter in any top/big club right now, and even if a big club decides to have him just as a fringe player, he would still have to accept a massive paycut, just take a look at his time in United, he has had little or no playing time, only have very few starts and one or two cameos here and there.

But if he moves to Newcastle, he is going to get a very good deal money-wise, and his playing time would be much better than if he was in a big team. It is almost the same thing as moving to China or America as most players of his age do, but if he does move to Newcastle, the advantage is that he gets to stay in a competitive/most watched league and earn a very good sum so close to his retirement.

I also noticed this that sometimes they even do unreasonable things for example top 4 lose together in the same week
Happened at least 2 times this season this is one of the reasons why I don't actively bet for matches in Serie A
This is not in any way peculiar to just the Italian Seria A, this is football and such things happen, that is why football is a very dramatic sport to be honest, take a look at the EPL as well, the same thing is also happening there this season with the teams competing for fourth position. I am very much satisfied with the level of competition in the Italian league this season, it has been great to watch.
Inter will play against Roma next week.
This game is really going to be a test of character for both teams, one team (Inter) needs to win to keep their title hopes firmly in their hands, the other team (Roma) have to continue winning if they are to keep their hopes alive of breaking into fourth position, it is really going to be tough, but i think Inter would just edge them.

  • Will you continue to invest even if it is only 10%-20% of your total monthly income?
  • How do you achieve financial stability during this inflation?
All of this actually depends on the individual and what their income actually is, for a person who earns barely enough to handle their basic daily needs, i am pretty sure they would scarcely be considering any sort of investment, definitely not in this period. Having said that, as for myself i would basically just follow the same part that has been working for me for so long, i have never invested more than i can afford to lose, so i would continue in that way, investing a certain percentage, saving the rest for future investment and keeping some for my basic/daily needs.

Having said that, as for financial stability, that isn't something one achieves in a short space of time, it takes time, as well as careful planning, all you should simply do in this period is live within your means, cut down on unnecessary things and invest wisely, so somewhere along the line you could become stable financially.
2684  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: April 16, 2022, 09:27:52 PM
When I look at the fight for fourth place in the Premier League, I always think - what kind of clowns are these?
To be honest i actually feel the same way, and the team i am most disappointed in is Arsenal, i mean, they had it in their hands and it looked like we were going to see another 'Arsenal' different from the team we knew in the past, but this was not to be so, they have capitulated just as quite a lot of people predicted, and i feel sorry for Arsenal fans, they actually thought they would definitely see their team in the CL next season, but now it is no longer in their hands, even if it is still very possible.

Having said that, i would no longer be making any prediction on who is going to finish fourth, since none of the teams in contention is ready to take a grip on that position, i will keep my fingers crossed till the very end.

Joining many bounties and learning lot of them.
 As exploring new and upcoming bounties it's really hard to consider one for big rewards. Is there any specific section who notify on top Priorities.
There is no such thing mate. Bounties this days are more or less just a thing of luck, you could get paid or you could not, and that is why quite a lot of people do not look towards the direction of bounties but try out other productive stuffs in the network. Honestly, you should prolly do the same, there are a lot of new trends in the network, even if most of them are driven by hype, but you would be better of investing your time, knowledge and even funds in them than wasting it with bounties.
2686  Economy / Economics / Re: Where should I invest? on: April 16, 2022, 07:31:56 PM
<....>
It is a bad idea to ask others where you should invest, i have said this before and i would reiterate, when you ask questions like this you should of course be prepared for people to advise you on investing in projects they hodl, and of course what else should you expect, if i am to tell someone to buy a coin, it would have to be the coin i have put money on myself. But the thing is this, i only put money into it cause i believe in the project and have done my research about it, and it suits me pretty well.

My example above is just to hamper on how pertinent research is for every individual investor. But since you asked, if you are a long term investor, then you need a long term project, Bitcoin is the only long term project i know of. On the other hand, if you are a short term investor, then you can take a look at various altcoins, but mind you that they carry a lot of risk cause many are pump and dump coins and they could sometimes only be backed up by fake promises, meaning if they dump, that could be the end of it.
2687  Economy / Economics / Re: U.S. life expectancy falls for 2nd year in a row on: April 16, 2022, 07:14:20 PM
In which case, bitcoin, coins and tokens which contribute towards prosperity could carry a net effect of causing us to live longer.

Bitcoin. It could literally save your life. And add more years to our lifespan than we otherwise would enjoy.
Lol, life expectancy can't be based on a single factor, at least that is how i see it, quite a lot of things contribute to its increase and decrease, for example one could own as many Bitcoins as possible, but be affected by depression and take his or her life; as a matter of fact having as much money as possible isn't even a factor to increase life expectancy, wealthy people are even known to be more careless about taking care of their health since they are privileged to afford quite a lot, many of which are unhealthy for them in the long run.

Bitcoin/fiat or whatever asset, whether physical or digital can't save ones life or make people live longer, absolutely not. People can only try to live a healthy life and be genrally careful, but honestly there is nothing one can point to as a guarantee to increase life expectancy.
2688  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Scalability, Why Top Crypto exchanges Have not Integrated LN Network on: April 16, 2022, 06:46:07 PM
Actually i don't think anyone can state categorically what the reason is, only the top exchanges that are yet to integrate it can give the exact reason why, but they seem to be mute on the whole issue. I was reading something about it, you can find it in this link: https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/binance-and-coinbase-silent-on-bitcoin-lightning-community-tries-to-understand-why-202204150845 . I would also be sharing excerpts too.
Quote
One Redditor suggested that the Lightning Network availability would be essentially associated with fewer incentives to keep Bitcoin on exchanges like Binance due to expensive withdrawals.
Could the above excerpt make sense? Could Binance actually be shunning the integration so users of their website would not be tempted to move all of their funds out, since they would be able to do it at a cheaper rate.
Quote
The Lightning enthusiast also doesn’t expect other exchanges like Coinbase to integrate Lightning support in the near future “since the priority seems to be to integrate as many altcoins as possible and follow the trends of the market,”
From the above could this exchanges be more concerned about the ongoing trend/hype than actually integrating the LN in their system, many of this reasons actually makes sense, and there are many more in the link above, just like the OP, i would also like to know what the community thinks about it, of course after going through the link i sent.
2689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Round of 16! on: April 15, 2022, 05:05:46 PM
I deeply feel this season UEFA Champion's League trophy has Manchester City name written over it already...
I sincerely hope so, i am a Manchester City supporter and i would hope for nothing other than exactly this. But mind you that it is not going to be easy, not by the stretch of any imagination, Real Madrid are going to be so tough to beat, they have been in this position so many times and have won, and not just that, in most of those situations they went on to win the trophy, that is why they have won this tournament more than any other team. City on the other hand are only playing in their third CL semi-final ever, so as for experience, Real have buckets load of it. But notwithstanding City are still favorites in my opinion, and the last time we played Real in the UCL we came out victorious, i would likewise be hoping for the same scenario this time around. The CL has eluded City for so long, it is time to win it.

Liverpool on the other hand face an easier opponent on paper, but for a team that eliminated Juventus and didn't stop there, rather went on to eliminate Bayern Munich, i would just keep my fingers crossed till the 180 minutes across the two legs is over.
2690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: April 15, 2022, 10:45:18 AM
Its not in the departure of Messi from Barcelona, you have to understand that Xavi is missing something in which unless he identified such it might end up running Barca down in their match performance, the entire whole team have to be reorganize, they need to understand each player's strategies and provide a blending for it, this was the kind of formation Messi has being scaling through when he was in Barca, are the psychologist doing it right?.
Right before Barcelona signed Xavi did you watch them, did you also take cognizance of their league performaces and position on the table, if you did, and if you have also been watching Barca since Xavi took over then you will understand that Xavi deserves an awful amount of credit and praise, as a matter of fact i really can't understand why anyone would point any finger at Xavi based on what he has done with this team since his arrival.

Don't get me wrong, i am not saying the young man is a perfect manager, what i am saying is that since his appointment the team has been ten times better than what they were before, he made very good signings and has been very influential in helping players who had lost all of their confidence and were playing terribly, for example, Dembele, the young man was heading down the precipice, but right now his form is great.

The team is blending just fine, and do not also forget that this man is just months into this job, he should be under the lights and appraisal should be passed on him by the end of next season which will be his first full season in the job, for now it should be all credit, Barcelona are now almost certain of coming back to the CL next season, at one time this season it seemed impossible. Xavi has been great.

I need help.
Well, the best help anyone can give to you will still depend solely on you, and that is you must do your own research before doing anything on the network, newcomers tend to invest/trade before learning/researching, you could prolly be lucky and it works for you that way with one or two projects, but what are the chances? Pretty low if i must be honest with you.

Thus, forget about the losses, it is more or less very common these days that people always learn the hard way, what i mean is, they learn a lot of what they should have known before investing/trading only after they have made a mistake and lost some of their funds, take it to be a process, and going forward do your research, focus on long term projects (Bitcoin), invest only what you can affford to lose, remember that whatever is too good to be true, is prolly not true, etc, etc...
2692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: April 14, 2022, 05:43:57 PM
The trio of MUFC, Spurs and Arsenal will be aiming for a win to continue their push for the 4th position and final champions league slot for next season. With MUFC poor form, it is hard to predict their outcome, while we can expect a spurs victory and Arsenal poor draw once again.
Personally i do not even think Manchester United are still in the race for top four, in my opinion that battle is now between Arsenal and Spurs, Arsenal had it in their hands, but in the last two weeks they have dropped crucial points to throw the top four race wide open again, honestly it now looks like Spurs are the team with momentum to go on and grab that all important fourth position. Southampton are a very difficult opponent to play against, if Arsenal get anything other than three points and Spurs win, then Spurs would be in pole position to finish fourth.
Meanwhile in the fa cup, Liverpool host Manchester City at Wembley, renewed rivalry, FACUP at stakes, what are your odds? I see a City slim victory here
City played a tough game in the EPL against Liverpool on Sunday, and another tougher game yesterday against Athletico Madrid, a few of Pep's players also picked up injuries in the process, and i am sure the boys are going to be a little bit tired, Liverpool had the liberty to rest some of their players in their game against Benfica yesterday, so i think they will be fresher for this match and that could give them the advantage, but with the depth in this City's side, you can never count them out, can you.
2693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Round of 16! on: April 13, 2022, 10:55:52 PM
Completely disgraceful scenes in the closing stages of the City v Athletico game, it didn't even end on the pitch of play as there was as well a massive brawl in the tunnel, i am utterly disappointed in the Athletico team, that is no way to host an opposition team, City players were targeted from the beginning of the match right to the end, simeone and his team employed an unorthodox pattern in all respects and i am so happy that the better football team, which is City, qualified.

I am pretty sure they would be lots of investigations on what happened in this game, and i would not be surprised to see a few bans being dished out to some players and staff. Having said that, City go back to Madrid in a couple of weeks, and this game is definitely going to be entirely different to what we saw tonight, Real Madrid like to play, likewise City, so we are definitely in for an entertaining semi-final; Villareal v Liverpool make up the other semi, Liverpool are definitely favorite on paper, but after eliminating Juventus, then Bayern, of course Villareal can dare to dream, and they have every right to do so.

I'm not sure what else we're doing wrong or why we haven't heard from @theymos since the appeal thread last year. We have the numbers, the activities, and reputable members who are making significant contributions to the forum; at this point, all we can do is hope.
Hope, and wait patiently, quite a lot of implementations that have happened in the forum took a lot of time before it became possible, and that is the same with this request, prolly somewhere along the line this would become a reality as well.
2695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: April 12, 2022, 10:17:13 PM
People didn't had any hope that they would be top 4 when Ole was managing the team, results were horrible, after that 5-0 loss to Liverpool everyone just decided to back off and just ignore it completely. However, it looks like they had a run after they sacked Ole and arsenal and Spurs had games missing so it looked like they were fourth for a while even though they weren't.
My point is basically that, results were horrendous when Ole was in charge and absolutely nothing has changed since OGS was fired, i always said it back then that i didn't think Uniteds problem was solely all about the manager, now it is so clear it wasn't, to be honest i really do not know what is wrong with the team, they have great players in every position, and they have spent as much money as their rivals as well, but to be in 7th position, and not even sure of Europa League football next season is so disappointing to say the least. They are going to get a new manager at the end of this season that's for sure, let us see if he will bring a change of fortune for the club.
2696  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Short term investment suggestion on: April 12, 2022, 09:54:21 PM
Guys, any suggestions for short-term investment?
Pump and dump altcoins, maybe you could just be lucky and get one right before it pumps, who knows, but what if none of such happens and you lose your funds, then you go all in again with another pump and dump coin, and the same scenario happens, rinse and repeat. At one point you then leave the network, brandishing and generalizing the crypto network as being a scam, telling your friends to stay off, but without highlighting your own folly in all of this.

Having said the above, crypto is not a get rich quick network, you should devote some of your time into research. Bitcoin is a long term project for example and one has to be patient when investing in it, i would have suggested you invest in Bitcoin, but you are in a quest for quick riches, so prolly after you have tried such without any success, maybe your curiosity for Bitcoin would grow and you can then get things right.
2697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: April 12, 2022, 03:46:43 PM
One would have thought at least United can make top 4 but they have failed their fans and themselves too.
It was clear at one point in the season that United could not make the top four this season, they aren't a big team anymore and they can lose to absolutely any team, thus there is no way such a team can finish in one of the top four slots for the CL, United should be happy if the finish in 7th position. When OGS was manager, i made it known that i do not think he was the problem with United, and that their problems was deeper than just Ole, fast forward to the post-Ole era and Manchester United are not doing any better, they are still languishing as far away from the summit as possible, and now European football is more or less no longer within their reach.

United have Liverpool to play in the weekend, and they must have to be at their best not to get embarassed. I am worried for United next season, i think there would be an exodus of quality players from the team and they will struggle to allure good players into their team.
2698  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Some Errors We Make In Trading Crypto on: April 12, 2022, 12:43:52 PM
  • Crypto is not a get-rich-quick scheme- so seeing it as one is a big error and can lead to a lot of other mistakes and loses.
Of course it isn't, but quite a lot of people do not believe that, i think a lot of problems people have with crypto stems from the fact that they want crypto to make them rich asap, as a result they invest/trade without research, they invest/trade with more than they can afford to lose, they become impatient, they choose 'lottery' coins and end up in the receiving end, etc. People need to take crypto trading/investing as what can produce/provide a secondary source of income, that way they would be patient enough to do their research and make good decisions.

In truth newcomers need to understand that there is no trading guide that can guarantee them profits, all they must do is learn all there is to and make the right choices, but profit and loss remains a possibility, but when you lose, just learn from it and move on.
2699  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: newbie invest on: April 12, 2022, 11:02:46 AM
There are a lot of scams and very often newbies invest money is scams.
That is why it is necessary to check everything about the project not to invest money in scams.
Investors would continually lose funds to scam as long as they do not do their own research, it is only avarice that can make one invest without properly understanding what they are investing into; it is pretty easy to avoid being scammed in the network, despite the fact that there are a whole lot of scammers out there. People think cause there are many scammers in the network the chances of being scammed is high, but mind you that it is people's folly that more often than not makes them vulnerable to loss of funds and other whatnots.

then Barcelona might have a little hope for the title. But it wouldn't still be too realistic.
Of course it is unrealistic to still have hopes that Barcelona are going to win the title this season, it is just not possible, at this point what Barcelona are playing for is a second place finish, and also to end the season on a high note and enter next season with high momentum/spirit so they can compete for the title then. Real Madrid have done their work a long time ago, and they have run the single race to the title, and it is only a matter of time before we start congratulating them. Having said that, i expect next season to be different and far more competitive, Barcelona are back on their feet again, so things would definitely not be easy for Madrid next season.
