281  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I have known Bitcoin and other currencies since 2014 on: March 21, 2024, 03:50:15 PM
I have known Bitcoin and other currencies since 2014, but I did not move a finger. I did not benefit from anything. I mean, I did not invest anything now. I am serious. I liked this forum a lot. A long time ago, I decided to start investing, even if it was a small amount, in some other currencies. Perhaps it would go up significantly and make profits. Perhaps I would. It is late, but the opportunity is always there. I know that many people suffer from what I suffer from. Many people now talk about Bitcoin, but I preceded them in knowing it by ten years. I want your advice for me. I have high hopes for digital currencies. What do you think?
No, you're not. Why? If you really have hopes for digital currencies like Bitcoin, you will never wait 10 years just to have interest instead, you invest it that time without a doubt. I won't like to say you're late but I would say that you miss the best opportunity already. Just think that if you start accumulating Bitcoin in 2014 and do the buy/sell, you are not just rich but a wealthy person already. Unfortunately, it is too late to open your mind and see the benefits from Bitcoin which it indeed regrets on your end.

I think you need to change the way you think about Bitcoin. Build some trust towards Bitcoinand certainly bring you positive results.


As I understand it, what OP means is that he has now realized the potential of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and he has started investing in them even if just a small amount.

The fact that he missed out and didn't invest in bitcoin years ago isn't too surprising because no one knows what the future holds. No one could have predicted the price of bitcoin could go this high, I bet you that even Satoshi would be very surprised at the value that bitcoin has achieved today, let alone any of us. 

Furthermore, it is never too late to invest in bitcoin. OP's journey to getting rich from bitcoin will be more difficult than 10 years ago, but that doesn't mean he's out of opportunities.

Not as simple as you told, what if you buy at higher price and then price going lownfor several months/several years? Waiting price for going back? It easy if you spend small amount, let say below $50K. But what if you spend more than $200K
Sorry... but I'm sure someone must have said "buy with an amount you can afford to lose"... then if $200k makes you regret and even get depressed when you lose that amount, I think that's too big an amount to spend on Bitcoin.


I still repeat that saying, it's easier said than done. Of course, once we invest, we should use the money we can lose, and we have also accepted risks when making investment decisions. But frankly speaking, no one wants to lose money even if it is money we can easily earn back another way. Today the price of bitcoin increases and brings you profit, but suddenly bitcoin price decreases, your profit will also disappear. That alone will make you feel regretful, not to mention losing your initial capital.

There is a huge gap between saying and doing, mate. We always say we are ready to accept the loss of money invested in bitcoin, but in reality no one wants that bad thing to happen, especially a large amount of money.

Munich is also considered a team that is good at turning things around. as they showed in the round of 16, they were behind in the first leg and reversed it in the second leg.
This situation could happen to Arsenal. and as you said, if Arteta wants to be safe, they have to be ahead by more than 1 goal. It will be quite difficult if Munich is in top form.
There is still preparation time, anything can happen, but I hope both teams are at their best when the game starts.

I would say this match is very difficult to predict. There is no doubt that the Bayern Munich team is more experienced than Arsenal in the Champions League. But Arteta's Arsenal are in very good form right now. Arsenal are currently at the top of the Premier League table. Beating such a team is definitely going to be a tough challenge for Bayern Munich.



Arsenal's past record against Bayern Munich on the Champions League platform is not good. The teams met twice in 2015 and 2017. Bayern Munich won all three matches by a big margin, Arsenal won one match 2-0. Bayern Munich will definitely want to continue this trend. But if none of Arsenal's key players suffer from injuries, and if Arsenal can play with their full squad, Arsenal have the potential to beat Bayern Munich this season.
It's actually a very difficult matchup to predict. Arteta wants to bring a lot of success for Arsenal this year, this is the motivation, there is no Bayern Munich, there is the championship desire that Arsenal has remembered for years. Bayern Munich is not going through a very destructive period as always, they are destructive this season, but they are not very destructive.

Arsenal have individual players who can win this match, I think Arsenal has a chance to win with a good game plan.

With the help of Arteta, Arsenal team is able to perform very well. Arsenal have won several Premier League matches by as big as 5-0. Arsenal's attack is in very good form right now. They are able to score a lot of goals. The players have adapted well to Arteta's match tactics. And that's why the bond between Arsenal's players is so strong now. And consistently this team is able to perform well.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich's condition is relatively weak. Munich's performance in the Bundesliga has also been erratic. They are not playing very well in the Champions League. Bayern Munich unexpectedly lost the first leg match against Lazio. If this erratic performance continues, a win against Arsenal will not be possible.

The Munich team is more experienced than Arsenal on the Champions League platform. However, Tuchel is yet to completely stabilize the Munich team. This is why I have considerable doubts about Munich's performance. The first leg match is Arsenal's home match. Looks like Arsenal will win at home.

Frank Ribery will not be returning as a player that is for sure. He is still too young or inexperienced to be the head coach of Bayern Munich so he will not be replacing Thomas Tuchel. Frank Ribery finished his career in Salernitana after leaving Fiorentina. He is the only technical coach of Salernitana, so it would be too big of a jump.

The possible replacement for Thomas Tuchel is most likely Xabi Alonso. Jose Mourinho also could be one of the replacements if he does not get a new contract with another club.

Franck Robery maybe returning to FC Bayern Munich. He is currently still a technical coach at US Salernitana and he wants to continue his education...as coach. If you believe the media, Ribery wants to return to Germany and Munich. It is not known what position he can or should take on there, but he will motivation many players. But there would still be one missing, one of his friends at the time in 2013 when they won 3 titels, it would be Luca Toni. Maybe we will read a news in the coming week and Ribery has arrived in Germany. So not as a player, he is too old for that.

England is the father of cricket England is the first to introduce the game of cricket so England should be good at cricket.  It can be said that England women's team played well in today's match because they scored 167 runs in 20 overs in T20. It is a very strong target for women's team.  New Zealand have a good reputation in the game of cricket England beat them there it is a good achievement for England. I am famous for such a game in England
England is famous for cricket and has long history with sport. But just because they have good reputation it does not mean they will always win. Women team recently did really well by scoring 167 runs in T20 match and beating a strong team like New Zealand. This shows how good they are at game. However in sports you never know what will happen. Even though England did great in this game it does not mean they will always be best. By the way I appreciate batting of the England women team.

The New Zealand women's team has not been in good form in recent times. We haven't seen a good performance from the New Zealand women's team in the last two series either. And as expected, New Zealand did not perform better in the first T20 match against England.

Seeing the batting of the New Zealand players, I felt that they had no desire to win this match. New Zealand's batsmen have batted very slowly since the beginning of the innings. Despite not losing wickets very quickly, New Zealand's batting was slow. And that's why New Zealand collected 133 runs after losing only 5 wickets in the last 20 overs. If New Zealand Women's batsmen are batting like this, they won't be able to win a single match in the series against England Women.

Yes, I absolutely agree. The sense of urgency was not there. It was almost like they did not care if they were going to win or lose the match. But I think the actual approach from them was they wanted to keep wickets in hand for the last 5 overs. And they wanted to go really hard in that period.

However, trying to keep wickets in hand they were wasting a lot of balls. In the end, it was just too much to do for them. Like they got only 133. On a pitch like this, it is almost unacceptable. Even if they want to keep wickets in hand for the last 5 overs they have to keep a realistic target in mind to chase in the last 5. It is a good idea to keep less than 50 required for the last 5 doesn't matter how many wickets you have left. Because you are not going to chase or be able to get 70+ in the last 5 overs every day.

The way the match ended was actually funny seeing how the goals was coming as if they were playing with teenagers, although I never realized that PSG will score them this much because at first the match was actually going well for Montpellier because right after PSG score them the first two goals before they could get to the end of the first half they had already equalize the goal, so at that points I was thinking that even if PSG win them but the goals will not be much but I didn't know that PSG has a big thing install for them on the second half by beating Montpellier 6:2 and even Mbappe manage to get his hard-trick
PSG really exploded in this game.  Cheesy  They got three draws in a row before this win you know and this was a huge way to put an end to the bad streak. Mbappe has nearly scored the half amount of the goals PSG have scored in the league so far. PSG would really be likely to be in trouble without him as long as they don't improve the team effort to get score contribution from as many players as possible.

For example if PSG become like Arsenal then they wouldn't rely on one player. You know how great Arsenal are on this work this season. Having a solid system is really important for a team to be more consistent.
Mbappe is very effective in scoring goals. He scored 24 goals and David followed him with 15 goals. This year is probably his last season, but he is playing with great dedication in his last season. As a result, he will become the top scorer. He may also receive the award for the best player of the French league. Mbappe is an incredible talent. It is every team's dream to have him.



PSG are in excellent form right now. Luis Enrique has been able to completely stabilize the team. The bonding between the players is now stronger. Since the understanding between the players is good now, PSG's overall performance is also quite strong.

PSG performed brilliantly against Montpellier. Mbappe's performance in particular was excellent. He scored the goal in this match Mbappe. Mbappe did the same assist. Also Vitinha's performance was very good in this match. Vitinha has one goal and two assists. PSG's overall gameplay was very good, and every attack was planned. A total of 16 shots were taken by PSG players in this match, 9 of which were on target.

Manchester United has reportedly abandoned its intention to make Amrabat's transfer permanent and it looks like he will return to Fiorentina at the end of the season. So far, Amrabat's performance is felt to be lacking and can even be said to be bad as part of the Red Devils squad. I think it's only natural that in the end he is unable to provide good expectations for the club and it looks like Erik Ten Hag will also consider other names later in the summer after Amrabat leaves.

It's a shame that it was a short career for Amrabat at Old Trafford, even though his dream has always been to be able to play with Manchester United longer. I think if this rumor is true then he shouldn't be sad and will return to giving his best for his old club in Serie A. I think Fiorentina also still needs his energy and they can start again at the start of next season.
Sofyan Amrabat is the last player who bought from Manchester United last summer and he was loaned from Fiorentina because Manchester United is really required holding midfielder as the substitution of Casemiro because it is almost impossible to always be rely on Casemiro for each matches so that's why Manchester United has decide to loan Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina because they feel Amrabat can performing well just like when he was showing at Fiorentina and Morocco national team at world cup

But Sofyan Amrabat is dissapointing because he was unable to showing his best performance during playing with Manchester United and actually Ten Hag has give his chance to playing regularly several times but there was no significant progress from Sofyan Amrabat moreover he also was failed to adapt with Premier League atmosphere so after considering these factor Manchester United will not permanent him so after this season ended Sofyan Amrabat will free return to Fiorentina but the recent rumour which i heard is Sofyan Amrabat doesn't want to playing at Fiorentina anymore so this summer Sofyan Amrabat asking to his agent to look for new clubs which probably outside Italy

I have mixed feelings about this. I do not know if this was actually good for the player or the club to be honest. First of all, I think Manchester United could use him. But at the same time, I am not sure if he would have performed well in Manchester United Jersey. So I will say whatever happened, happened for the best.

I do not know about him wanting to play outside Italy. But I am hearing that Juventus might be interested in him. I think if Juventus is actually interested, it is going to be a good idea for him to join Juventus. If he is trying to go to any Premier League club, I don't think it is going to work out very well for him. Neither he is going to get the playing time that he wants or it is not going to be a very big club.

Many people always say that they want bitcoin to follow the path that Satoshi created for bitcoin, they want to pay their daily bills with bitcoin...But honestly, if bitcoin was only used as currency and didn't have any volatility or profit. How many people will use bitcoin until today? I believe that there will not be too many people who want bitcoin to become a stable currency, and the majority of people are satisfied with what bitcoin has become. Because making a lot of money and becoming rich is the common goal of today's society and bitcoin is doing it very well.
Bitcoin has outgrown Satoshi that is it has gone beyond his control and aspirations. It will be very difficult for Bitcoin to be used as a currency because of so many factors. Unstable price is at the forefront of the reasons but there are other impediments which are peculiar to different locations. Some people believe that Bitcoin might become less volatile in the future and it has shown some signs of this fact. But until then it will remain a speculative asset that will be used as an investment platform.

Some peculiar reasons why Bitcoin might not be used as a legal tender in my location is because of the high rate of poverty, illiteracy, and lack of basic infrastructure. Many people in my area cannot even afford to buy an Android phone, some don't have basic knowledge of reading and writing and there is also a lack of electricity power and Internet facilities. People will prefer to stick to fiat because it suits the condition of some areas. Maybe as the standard of living of the people improves, Bitcoin might begin to gain its ground as a viable alternative legal tender.


Yes, there are many reasons why bitcoin cannot become a currency as you mentioned and as I said. Even those of us, who knew how to use bitcoin early on will not be satisfied, or even don't need it, if bitcoin becomes stable and no longer profitable. How can the world accept bitcoin as a currency? To be honest, the idea of turning bitcoin into currency has failed and is very unlikely to be implemented. People are just trying to accumulate, accumulate bitcoin every day, I don't see anyone wanting to use bitcoin for payment around me.

Bangladesh team has done much better batting performance from power play, Tanjid Hasan and Enamul are performing batting as the current partnership. These two batsmen are so good that they have collected a lot of runs, Tanjid Hasan if he can perform a little better then there is definitely a chance of scoring a half century. As today's run target is small for Bangladesh, the Sri Lankan team has given a target of only 235 runs. If the players of Bangladesh can perform well with patience, then the chances of winning are definitely high.
Bangladesh team batting in the second innings, I would say they are not doing well in any way. Right now the Bangladesh team is under a lot of pressure and they are playing badly and their batting performance has not improved at all. Played a bit well in the beginning, their game has gone very bad at the moment, especially after the dismissal of Nazmul Hasan Shanto and Anamul Haque, the run rate has gone down a lot. But one of the great batsman of Bangladesh, Tanzid Hasan, is batting very well. If he survives, he can bring victory to Bangladesh. And the target of 236 runs is not very high so if the Bangladesh team can still play then there is definitely a possibility of winning and can win the series. Right now Bangladesh team has lost two wickets but they still have enough wickets, so Bangladesh team still have to play cautiously as Sri Lankan team will not let Bangladesh go so easily.

Bangladesh batted very well in the first wicket pair. However, opener Anamul Haque did not bat well. But he gave Tanzid adequate support. Anamul returned to the dressing room after collecting 12 runs from 22 balls. Captain Shanto also cannot bat well today. Shanto got out after collecting only `1 run from 5 balls. And Bangladeshi batsmen were under pressure after losing Shanto's wicket. But now the team is in a good position.

At the end of 20 overs, Bangladesh collected 96 runs. They lost two wickets. Hridoy and Tanzid batting responsibly. Although Tanzid is batting at a smart strike rate, Hridoy's batting is quite slow today. However, Bangladesh will win this match easily if they can survive at the crease.



Mahmudullah could not bat well in today's match. He returned to the dressing room after collecting only 1 run. Mahmudullah batted badly in two consecutive matches. After losing the wickets of Hridoy and Mahmudullah, the Bangladesh team is now under pressure again. Bangladesh team collected 113 runs in 24.1 overs.

Tanzid is batting very well. He is unbeaten with 75 runs from 72 balls. Tanizd can bat at a smart strike rate. But the Bangladeshi batsmen cannot help Tanzid. If Mushfiq and Miraz don't bat well today, Bangladesh will be defeated.

Sri Lankan bowler Lahiru Kumara is bowling well today. Lahiru Kumara took 4 wickets. Bangladeshi batsmen need to play carefully against Kumara.

Afghanistan had a tough time getting the first wicket, but as soon as they got the first wicket, the rest were not that hard. At the start of the innings, Fazalhaq Farooqi bowled very poorly. Ireland had scored 49 runs in 5.2 overs when the first wicket fell. After that, it was a smooth ride for Afghanistan. Rashid Khan was super impressive with his ball, taking 4 wickets in 4 overs while conceding only 14 runs.

The Irelands has only 3 wickets remaining right now and they have to score 47 runs from 17 balls which is quite impossible. Afghanistan will be winning this match just as expected. This is a good comeback from Afghanistan after they had lost their first match against Ireland. The next match will be the decider and that is the match I am most excited about.

So far Ireland are favourite to win this contest. I haven't seen matches on Sharjah pitches for many years so can't say whether 152 are enough or not. Afghanistan need quick wickets and should not allow Ireland batsmen to settle. Rashid Khan is back in Afghanistan squad and has scored 25 vital runs toward the end of Afghanistan batting. In four overs Ireland score is 42 runs and they will win the match easily if they keep on going like that.
292  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Day i have lost my 100 bitcoins on: March 17, 2024, 02:06:41 PM
The problem is that at that time, bitcoin is just some hobby that you forgot about and I probably would've done the same thing as you with that flash drive, I mean if you don't got a utility at the moment for something, you'll almost always going to end up discarding them, that's how it goes with things like this so make sure that if you want to keep something, make sure that you're not keeping it just for the sake of keeping it, you need to have a purpose for keeping that in thing in your person, right now or in the present, if that doesn't satisfy those categories, discard it. There's also the possibility that you might not even be able to open it since it's abandoned and there's the possibility that it's probably obsolete and that it's damaged by the elements that you're probably going to see that it wouldn't be working anymore. Oh well, I guess another 100 bitcoin is gone and down into the abyss thus increasing the value of it even more, thank you for your involuntary sacrifice OP.

I completely agree with you, if we had the opportunity to own 100BTC like OP at that time, I also believe that not too many people would be able to hold it today. Because the future is unpredictable.

We're not in that situation so we can't blame the OP for being careless or stupid. OP is not the first person to lose bitcoins or there are many people who sold their bitcoins for very cheap prices. But many investors who have just joined bitcoin in the past few years think they are smart and criticize these people mercilessly. They claim that, if they knew bitcoin at the time, they would have held and not sold any bitcoin, LOL.
293  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin becoming Legal tender on: March 17, 2024, 01:56:06 PM
Bitcoin becoming legal tender is the stuff of miracles if I am being honest with you op. There are so many variables due to which the possibility of it happening is pretty much zero which is a fact.

It's best not to get too greedy. Personally, I am completely satisfied with where BTC is at the moment and I hope it stays that way for a long period.


Many people always say that they want bitcoin to follow the path that Satoshi created for bitcoin, they want to pay their daily bills with bitcoin...But honestly, if bitcoin was only used as currency and didn't have any volatility or profit.

Madrid managed to get 3 points back and Girona lost again which makes the current conditions even better for Madrid because they are running alone in the title race now considering the current point difference of 10 points with Girona and 11 points with Barcelona. Although Barcelona haven't played a game yet as they will play tomorrow but seeing as the opponent is Atletico this could be another advantage for Madrid in the trophy race as Barcelona and Atletico are still one of the big clubs after all and this big match is likely to be troublesome for each other.

Madrid managed to get a good win in this match and the fact that there is no Jude is also not a problem for them, especially with Brahim as an option, this is actually a good thing for Madrid.
The 4-3-3 scheme they used last season also worked well and the match was much livelier.
I like Ancelotti's options now because we have a very good situation that we can see from Madrid's performance.

The opportunity for Real madrid to secure the trophy is wide open because their closest competitors are completely unable to show their consistency in competing for the title. In week 29, Real madrid won full points while Girona lost points, which shows the instability of Girona performance making the distance between the two points even greater. For Real madrid, of course they will lock up the title early if they see their quite impressive performance in every match they play.

Girona defeat certainly opens up opportunities for Barcelona to overtake them. Xavi squad will play tomorrow where Barcelona will visit Atletico madrid headquarters. I think this match is quite tough but if Barcelona focuses well I think they can take advantage of the opportunity to get full points and move up to 2nd place. Apart from that I see the team The teams fighting for position 4 are increasingly fierce where Bilbao and Atletico Madrid continue to compete to secure their position.

If Real Madrid cannot finish in the first position of the table I don't know what to say. And the same goes for Barcelona if they cannot finish in the second position. Because they have a real chance right now.

Now the problem is the match Barcelona is going to play the next day against Atletico Madrid. And for Atletico Madrid, it is also a must-win match. Because if Atletico Madrid loses this match they will stay in the 5th position.

Winning this match is essential for both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid because both of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are not going to go to the second and fourth position if they do not win. Even if they drop points and get 1 point from this match each it is not going to be enough because they do not have a good goal difference. I think we are going to see a winner in this match.
295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 17, 2024, 06:34:38 AM
In the last few games Bayern seems to have gone back to the old days where they scored a lot of goals. It's funny that Bayern's management and many people started to criticize Bayern's coach when a few rounds ago Bayern was going through a period of some defeats and I was constantly saying that people were being too hasty in their criticism because Bayern's coach is good coach and he just needed more time for him to get control over the team and we are seeing that now, but Bayern's management, who want results very quickly, chose to fire the coach and kept threatening the coach with things like in case the team If they don't win in the next game then the coach will be fired

I'm wondering what the stance of Bayern's management must be at this moment, whether they will stick to the coach's decision to be fired at the end of this season or whether they will go back on this decision, the question will also be whether if they go back on their decision If the coach will agree to continue as Bayern's coach, I have constantly heard rumors that Bayern's management want to hire Leverkusen's coach, I hope they are aware that the fact that a coach achieves the feats that Leverkusen is achieving does not mean That same coach will be able to achieve the same feat at Bayern, in my opinion he will not be able to do so.

And talking about Leverkusen, they will have a complicated game, their opponent in the last 5 games lost in 2 games, drew in 2 games and won in just one game. The problem is that it is an opponent that they beat in the last game, which could be giving the impression that it is a team that despite having a bad performance, they are recovering, in games like these it is very likely that they will end in a draw, but I hope that Leverkusen can win in this game

In the last two matches, Bayern Munich was able to show an incredible performance. And I agree that it definitely looked like the old Bayern Munich. But I will say that it is not too impressive.

Because the teams that they have scored a lot of goals against in the last two matches are Darmstadt and Mainz. Both of them are in the relegation zone.

So I don't think it is that much impressive if Bayern Munich is able to score so many goals against teams that are not performing well throughout the whole season.

I am not saying it is easy to score five or eight goals in one match. But doing it against such weaker opponents does not mean that they will be able to do the same against bigger opponents.

Leverkusen has some tough matches coming up. But I expect them to have decent results from these matches. I actually think that Leverkusen has the capability of winning every single match in the next five. And I think they will at least get 12 points from the next five.
296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 16, 2024, 07:57:23 PM
What Italian teams fearing right now is that Inter was already great, and Milan hoped that if UCL kept going for a while, maybe Inter would get tired and give up the league and Milan may get close, which would be very difficult, almost impossible but at least a small chance. Now that they are done, it's clear that they will win the league, there is no reason to lose any games now, they may end up going all the way to the end without a loss.

They may lose here and there too, but the difference is big enough that they will not care about it. I hope that things all go well for Inter and Milan and Juventus, because we really missed these three teams at UCL, they could do very well there if they all spend good amount on the summer transfers.
I see that the last few seasons have been seasons where clubs from Italy have risen. They seemed to have rediscovered a path that could bring them success again in Europe. This season Inter Milan performed very well, but unfortunately they had to fail in the round of 16 because they lost to Atletico Madrid and they had to end their journey in the Champions League.

Regarding AC Milan, they are also slowly finding their condition, although they are still showing a lot of things they shouldn't show. They still show inconsistencies to this day, but I'm sure they will be better in the future.

Juventus is also slowly starting to improve now, but they had several problems last season which prevented them from being able to compete in European competitions. I hope they can learn from their mistakes in the past, because if I'm not mistaken this is not the first time this has happened to them. Juventus must be able to fix this, because that is what has been hampering them lately. Management must be able to improve.

I don’t see even the slightest chance of AC Milan getting close to winning Serie A. Inter would be the champion this season, that is for sure I have no doubts about that. I think the top 4 teams which will be going to play in the Champions League are pretty much set.

Inter Milan,
AC Milan,
Juventus and
Bologna

The Serie A teams seemed to lose their touch in the European cups somewhere around 2017. But look at Inter Milan, last year they went to the finals. But here is the thing, I don’t think they would have made it to the Semi-final let alone the final if they were on the other side of the bracket last season.
They just proved it this season by losing against Atletico Madrid.

I would say Atletico Madrid is the weakest team in the quarter-final of this season of the Uefa Champions League. And Inter Milan has lost against them. But it is true that they are finding their fire again, but I would say it will take time, maybe over 5 years when an Italian team would have the chance to win a Uefa Champions League. To do that they would need to keep their players in their team.

Look at Napoli, they sold their star Defender to Bayern Munich, now nowhere near the top 4 spot of Serie A.

...

Speculation about Osimhen continues to circulate after previously PSG were linked with Osimhen, but now speculation continues to widen and interesting after Premier League teams also expressed their interest in Osimhen, as far as I do not see any definite moves to get Osimhen from Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, I personally see all three teams may be very capable of making up for the high price requested by Napoli,  But it seems that these three teams are no longer an attraction for players like Osimhen at the moment, let's look at Chelsea who have not even been able to finish in the Conference League this season, while Manchester United frankly their performance is not better than Chelsea at this time, And Arsenal, although they are now competing for the title but their mentality is currently untested to win the title and as we know if all this time they do not want to spend a lot of money to buy players.  

The only alternative to all the possibilities that exist at the moment is of course PSG is the right club for Osimhen, returning to Ligue 1 does not seem to be a difficulty for Osimhen, especially before Osimhen had played for Lille, so it did not take long for Osimhen to adapt, of all the clubs that exist at this time it seems that only PSG is able to provide good offers and opportunities for Osimhen to continue his career in the future.

I also think that Victor Osimhen will also be great for PSG and PSG is also going to be a great next destination for him. Because PSG is looking for a replacement for Mbappe. And especially with the new coach, Luis Enrique I think he will be able to settle very well in PSG and very quickly as well. If he does decide to go to any English Premier League club, I hope he makes sure that he does not accept any offer from Manchester United or Chelsea. Because that is going to be a bad decision for a player like him who still has a lot to achieve in his career. We have already seen a lot of very promising players derailing their career just because they went to Manchester United. I do not want to see something similar like that anymore.

But this is also something everyone should remember. Maybe the media is actually trying to saturate his price a little. Not saying Fabrizio Romano has never done that himself, but still…

Perhaps, I didn't find this thread early enough but I will have to contribute my perception of Bitcoin.

On a personal level, Bitcoin is a paradigm that has shifted the thoughts of people from being centralized to a decentralized system, which the government is against. perhaps because they feel unsecured that they can't accomplish their selfishness because alot of people are not longer interested to be controlled by a government that is only concerned about their own well being and not the the well being out the people.

Bitcoin was created to by Satoshi Nakamoto in order to take financial freedom from some group of elites who call themselves governments to the ordinary citizens to be financially free. Bitcoin is a currency that allows me and you to have control of our financial life and not to be controlled by centralized authorities (government).

Bitcoin is freedom...
What you said was Satoshi's vision and purpose when creating bitcoin. But do we really come to bitcoin for freedom or for the huge profits that bitcoin can bring us?

Honestly, my main goal when getting into bitcoin is profit, and when I make big profits, the second thing I think about is privacy. Because I don't want anyone and especially the government to know about my assets, I don't trust them because they can confiscate anything from us if they become greedy. I think there are many people who have the same goal as me but most don't dare to admit it.

Is the profit of BTC holders just from luck?

Profiting of BTC holders can be from luck.  I cannot deny that the possibility of being lucky is the reason why some holders profit from Bitcoin.  Like when they engage in the Bitcoin market, after they buy their holdings and the market starts pumping.

But majority of Bitcoin holders who profits from Bitcoin  oftens have plans and studied the Bitcoin market, making them find opening position and buy Bitcoin at lower price and knowing the possible advantageous closing position and selling at a profit.

So I believe it is the combination of luck and wit that enable BTC holder to profit from Bitcoin.


You're right, the fact that we can profit from bitcoin is a combination of luck and each person's vision. It is true that bitcoin investors have to make trade-offs and accept risks when investing in bitcoin, but if they are not lucky enough, I believe it will be very difficult to make a profit. Many people think that they make profits because they are good, but they do not think that in the process of holding and investing, they do not encounter any obstacles from life, it is thanks to luck that trouble does not come to them. Because I have met many investors with knowledge, skills... they are comprehensive in all aspects of the investment field. But in the end, they cannot become successful investors because life has too many events that cause them to give up their passion. Therefore, I still believe that any success has the presence of luck.

I know about the news and it being made legal tender, but has anybody first hand experience of using btc in el salvador?

Can you simply go to a money counter, atm, restaurant, and buy/sell/use btc?

news & reality are mostly different things.
I have watched some videos that you can use it to pay services despite that many citizens still not aware of what btc is.
The one that I have seen is able to purchase from the locals and pay it with btc and get to pay the bills. Just like us, they're normally using it with anything that we can purchase with it despite not being there physically.

Can you give us videos you've seen about El Salvador? El Salvador has accepted bitcoin as legal tender, meaning it is the currency used in that country. But what people wonder is will more people use bitcoin as their everyday payment currency? And will all stores, restaurants...accept bitcoin or are there still many stores not ready for it? There was no one here who lived in El Salvador or had been there to tell us.

But I remember, many people declared that they were fed up with their country banning bitcoin and they wanted to move to a country where bitcoin was legal. After over a year, I still haven't seen anyone update that they've been to El Salvador or any other country where bitcoin is legal. Perhaps only those people can tell us the answer.
