Am new here,but all have seen is about crypto and recently I got interest in it but am a bit confuse wether one can use same strategy,and approach used in trading forex
They are different markets with different formulas, rules for trading, leverage, futures and different regulations. So they will be affected differently by regulatory news and the likes.

Even in a same market, you have different operations of different assets and here you are facing with bigger issues, different assets in different market.

If you want to learn about trading.
Awesome crypto trading.

My reminder is trading is very risky and it's better if you don't trade, but invest in safest cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Are you actively involved in dollar-cost averaging (DCA) to build your Bitcoin holdings over time? If so, it's essential to understand the concept of consolidation and how it can benefit your overall Bitcoin strategy.
With DCA, you will have to define yourself that how much money you plan to invest with each DCA time. It will decide you can withdraw it immediately after buying or have to wait for some DCA rounds before can afford to pay withdrawal fee.

Indeed, Manchester United's performance has appeared to have improved quite rapidly in the last few matches so this victory is quite natural for them to get and also on the other hand, Aston Villa's performance is decreasing at the moment so Manchester United can take advantage of this to be able to win.
This is quite an important victory for Manchester United to continue to improve their position in the Premier League standings, even if Manchester United can continue to be consistent, I think it is not impossible that they can enter the top 4 positions.
They are improving but still far from top four with 6 points less than Tottenham Hotspur and 5 points less than Aston Villa. Those clubs are holding fourth and fifth positions on the table and Manchester United still have a long way to be able to get in top four.

Aston Villa are an underdog and surprisingly play well in this season but it's realistic to expect they will have significant drop in performance. It's what we are witnessing last one month and from a second position, they dropped to a fifth position. No longer are at a position that can challenge Liverpool or Manchester City, Arsenal for Premier League title.

Manchester United have their problems with biggest one is their unstable performance so that it's hard to believe they are stronger and better than Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa in rest of season. They can take this improvement as foundation for their race against those clubs and take over a fourth position.

AS Roma had a good series because Daniele De Rossi is back, so three wins in a row and then came Inter Milan. At half time it looked good for AS Roma, they was a 2-1, but the second half inter played very well and scored 3 goals. They now have a 7-point lead in the league and that is very nice for the team, they can play the games without much pressure and then also catch up, strong motivation. 14 games to go, but i think Inter Milan will win the championship.
Roma gave me feeling that they could beat Inter Milan and prolong their honey moon with De Rossi but it was broken because Inter Milan made an excellent come back. With an advantage from Olimpico home stadium and support of Romanista, Roma actually created lot of difficulty against Inter Milan. Even after Inter Milan led 3-2, Roma still played well and came to a good chance for equalizer. Lukaku handled that opportunity not too good and at the end, Inter Milan nailed the match with a fourth goal.

With this winning and only 14 matches left, Inter Milan are finishing last steps to win their second Sucdetto in last four seasons.

Have been wanting to ask  why is it that most users here their activity is different from their post count. For example you will see some user having the post count of 500 with activity of 125 why is it like that and what Is the course?
You can make many posts you want if you have time with small limitations on minimum waiting time between two posts. With higher forum ranks, you will have less limitation of waiting time (shorter waiting time).

However, limitations on maximum activity point for an account is the same for all ranks. Each account can have a maximum of 14 activity points within 14 days period. You can make 100 posts within 14 days period but you will gain only 14 activity points.

Difference you ask is from these limitations.

You can use the spreadsheet to see activity point updating time.

On the contrary, it seems to me that this heat of passion will be until the end of the championship, and there will be not one or two candidates for the title, but at least three, including Arsenal. They are playing well at the moment, if they don't go down, they could well fight for the top spot. Tottenham are on their heels as well.
Son Heung Min returned to Tottenham and immediately contributed an assist for them to get a winning goal. It is important goal and three points to help Tottenham Hotspur temporarily hold a fourth position from Aston Villa.

The return of Son Heung Min will be very helpful for Tottenham Hotspur as he is their best scorer in this season and his contribution is far more than goals. He can contribute assists for them and help them to have more flexible attacking system. With recovery in performances of Richarlison, Tottenham Hotspure has another scorer who can share scoring task with Son.

Currently Manchester City is still in second place, but still has a chance to take first place from Liverpool because they still have one match remaining. Manchester City managed to continue the positive trend after winning in their last match, Haaland became the hero of the victory after scoring two goals against Everton.
Haaland became more confident after De Bruyne returned to the squad, his presence could increase his goal-scoring sharpness, his second goal against Everton started from De Bruyne's beautiful assist which was put to good use.
Returns for two important attacking players, De Bruyne and Haaland, will help Manchester City very much in coming months in both Premier League and Champions League. De Bruyne can help Manchester City more dangerous key passes and Haaland can help them to score goals as well as create more pressure on defensive systems of opponents.

With these players, Manchester City can have winning goals after like two or three touches within very short time and can make opponents surprised, failed to react properly to block Manchester City attacks.

Tottenham will play Brighton soon. Richarlison has been performing well in recent weeks. He has scored in 7 of the last 8 games. Also Heung min Son is back from the Asian Cup and has joined the team. Tottenham were already getting consistent results in the last weeks. With Heung ming Son joining the team, we can say that they will be even stronger. Tottenham, who started the season well but then lost momentum and pace, may have entered a period where they can push for the top of the league again. I think they will beat Brighton in this match.
Son is back but he needs time to recharge energy and digest failure of his national team in Asian Cup. Tottenham will not use him at the match beginning and will only send him in if they really needs him to rescue them. It's better for Tottenham and Son if they give him about two weeks of recovery. It will help him to recharge energy and can contribute best for them as well as avoid injuries.

Tottenham attacking system really needs Son Heung Min but they need him not only in one or two matches but many matches in rest of this season. Richarlison had good performances recently and Tottenham can believe in the Brazilian striker in the meantime.

I don't think Girona will actually be able to beat Real Madrid in this match, bookie gives odds madrid seems perfect to me. I know Girona have been performing really well in this season. But let's not forget that Real Madrid is also a very good team and the performance has been great from them so far. And that is only going to continue from them. Even if Real Madrid somehow cannot win this match and get only one point it is not going to be a very bad result for them because they are still going to be at the top of the table. But Girona cannot afford to let Real Madrid win this match because if that happens Real Madrid will have a very good lead which will become very tough for Girona to overcome later.
The odds is favorite on Real Madrid to be a winner and it is reasonable. If Girona win the match and you choose them, you will have a big win. I think Girona won't be able to win La Liga even they played well recent months but after seeing Girona went through more than half of the season and are still in top 2, I gradually change my mind.

If Girona can beat Real Madrid in this match, they will increase their change to win La Liga and more important, their confidence will be higher than now. I believe that very few people who bet on Girona as La Liga champion in this season. If they are the winner, they will help some people to get very big win like a person who chose Leicester City as a Premier League champion years ago.

309  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Limitations or scalability issues with the Bitcoin network on: February 10, 2024, 01:39:54 PM
One of the main challenges is the transaction processing capacity. Currently, the Bitcoin network can handle a limited number of transactions per second, which can result in delays and higher fees during periods of high demand. This limitation has led to the development of solutions like the Lightning Network, which aims to improve scalability by enabling faster and cheaper off-chain transactions.
If you want to have faster transaction speed, use altcoins but their blockchains are smaller in total hash rates or more vulnerable to smart contract exploitations.

If you want security, use Bitcoin and accept slower transaction time but let's say you will surely get more security for your on-chain transactions. Asking Bitcoin developers to change the protocol, community to vote yes on it, to make Bitcoin blockchain less secured like altcoin blockchains is bad proposal.

Quote
Another challenge is the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining. The process of mining requires a significant amount of computational power and energy consumption, which can have negative implications for the environment.
Bitcoin Mining Industry consumes less energy than other industries and it uses more renewable energy resources than other industries and nations too.

Manchester city is now back to the its best performance. Im doubting everton to steal points from other club. Manchester city will be winning with ez game against everton. The performance from everton is not that good right now. I think that is going to be another obstacles for everton. Why? The club has been performing so badly and everton is now in the relegation zone.
Manchester City are back to their best performances and their biggest competitor in this season Liverpool started to show problems. Arsenal is another competitor but I consider them as less experienced than Liverpool and probably weaker in a long competition too.

Liverpool with their problems in defense system that was seriously exploited by Arsenal in a latest match, will struggle to maintain their competitiveness and race against Manchester City. The title race starts to be skewed on Manchester City after a Liverpool defeat under Arsenal.

Meeting Everton at this moment is good chance for Manchester City to win and at least temporarily take over a first position from Liverpool. When Manchester City can stay at a first position, they will create pressure back to Liverpool.
311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 09, 2024, 01:11:20 PM
Liverpool have already suffered a defeat against Arsenal and all City need to do is take advantage of this to regain the lead in the league. Guardiola will try to win the Premier League and the Champions League, he is a maximalist and therefore will achieve maximum goals. The Champions League is a very difficult tournament, so far they have a chance, but it’s hard to say how far they can go, with only two matches in the playoffs, any mistake can be very costly.
Liverpool gave Manchester City an opportunity to get a first position if they can win one more match that was postponed. It's possibly Manchester City will be able to do this and Liverpool are probably ready to play as a second team on the ranking table. They should not hope that they can keep the first position because Manchester City will make mistake and lose points.

With that ready plan, they will not feel upset and plan-breaking if Manchester City surpass them on the table after winning the postponed match. Liverpool still have possible support from Manchester City's schedule in Champions League and the far the competitor go in Champions League, the more advantage Liverpool will have. Knock out matches in Champions League always consume a lot of concentration and player energy and Manchester City players will return to Premier League with tired and not 100% fitness.

You don't want to lose all your cryptocurrencies at one accident and because you don't to fall into such terrible accidental loss, you must use different wallets for different storage.

A wallet for Bitcoin storage is mandatory and I suggest Bitcoin Core or Electrum wallet. Verify them before using.

For altcoins, you can use Metamask, Myetherwallet but I would like to use different wallets for different altcoin blockchains.

Seville is not as dangerous as it was before, a victory is important for Atlético because they have to maintain their place in the top 4, they have lost points in two rounds in a row, now it is worth thinking about winning otherwise Atletic can bypass them. And Sevilla has risen from the relegation zone and now feels more comfortable, although the density there is very high, 15th and 18th places are separated by only three points, so Sevilla cannot feel calm, but I also doubt that they are able to beat Atlético.
Sevilla now still have only three points more than Cadiz at the 17th position. It is a nearest position from a relegation zone to Sevilla's position and this difference is not too big. Two matches can change it and Sevilla can drop to a relegation zone because Sevilla have better goal difference than Cadiz so one lost match won't cause them to drop to a 17th position.

With this risk of falling to relegation zone, Sevilla will need to focus a lot in rest of season. They have very poor defense system and not too good attacking system. Honestly, with combination of such defense and attacking systems, Sevilla are not competitive enough against other clubs around relegation zone.

For the League Cup, because Chelsea has reached the final, the opportunity to become champions is still there even though they have to face the team that is more favored to win, namely Liverpool and the match is at the end of February they will certainly be very motivated because if they get a championship title it will really lift the mentality of their players which currently doesn't look stable enough.
If they can win a League Cup, at least it will be a title and will be good for them. It will not be enough to end their crisis but it can help them to gain more confidence and potentially can help them to improve more in future.

Only one match to lift League Cup but with the opponent is Liverpool, Chelsea will have a very high mountain to climb. With only one final match, they can beat Liverpool but it is actually a huge task for Chelsea.

Quote
Meanwhile, for the FA Cup, they still have quite a long way to go so it could be said that the chances are slim or unclear because it could be that in the next round, they will be eliminated even though they have managed to win a landslide win against Aston Villa, which is very encouraging because previously in the English Premier League match they actually lost badly to Wolves at Stamford Bridge but they can recover quickly to maintain their chances in the FA Cup.
FA Cup is far for Chelsea to reach to the final match and it is not important for them too. They must focus on Premier League and try to climb up as highest as possible. Possibly if they can finish this season within top six, it will be a confident foundation for them in a next season when they will aim at top four. Having a position in top four and being eligible for Champions League is like a mandatory condition for a big club.

I think he was just trying to give a example about how the government of the US will do. And so there are not force acceptance if ever bitcoin will be legal tender. You can choose what and how you want to used it, as money, assets, hedge against the current status of the economy. Remember though that in El Salvador, even if Bukele won the reelection, he can't force as well 100% of the population to used BTC. We already have the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETF in the US, I think it's big enough to say that Bitcoin will stay and will be look at it as something that is legitimate as US still wields great influence in the financial world.
Bitcoin transactions can be broadcasted and confirmed borderless so you can use your bitcoin anywhere. If you use no-KYC exchanges, you don't have to concern about legal tender status of Bitcoin in a location, nation you are living in.

Dembele is like glass because he often suffers from injuries, Barcelona is lucky to be able to let him go at a price that is not cheap, PSG have not felt his maximum contribution. So far Dembele has played 23 matches in all competitions in which PSG has participated, and has only managed to score one goal, and Dembele has managed to score eight assists. Dembele return to Luis Enrique squad is certainly good news, considering that the round of 16 of the UCL will soon begin, and Enrique certainly needs Dembele to increase creativity in their front lines. It seems like Dembele is having difficulty adapting at PSG, that's why his number of goals is so low, and Dembele admits that he hasn't reached his best game since moving from Barcelona.
Dembele was a failed transfer of Barcelona and they got trapped by Dortmund. Dembele missed many seasons and matches in Barcelona before Xavi came as their head coach, gave chances to Dembele and he revised his career with Xavi. Two seasons under Xavi management helped Dembele to get attention from PSG that got trapped by Barcelona.

PSG probably decided to buy Dembele when they planned to let both Messi and Neymar go. The transfer is like replacing a sensitive player (Neymar) by another vulnerable player (Dembele).

Dembele would feel good by returning to his home land after many years in Germany then Spain but it seems his body can not help him to build up good career in PSG.

Finally and after weeks we again saw Benzema training with Al Ittihad. Since Benzema joined Al Ittihad he couldn't have a good performance and he was mostly injured or not in good form and he was injured, there was even some news about this French famous payer leaving the Saudi League for the Europe but recently Benzema was seen in Al Ittihad training with other players.


He is getting older one age each year and he has worse fitness year by year so his total appearances each season will drop with time. It is natural trend for all old players and Benzema will not be able to avoid this natural effects on his body.

The return to training is a not strange because the winter transfer window in Europe was closed and no transfer was completed to satisfy Benzema. He has to return to Saudi Arabia, get back to work for Al Ittihad if he does not want to appear in a court against Al Ittihad. In this situation, he is breaking the contract term, not Al Itithad.

Moreover, Benzema is also one of the goal machines for Al Ittihad and he will really be core player who is always used in every match if conditions allow him to play.
This is good start for Benzema considering that previously there had been problems that made him have to rest.
He should give his best for Al Ittihad just like he used to play with Real Madrid, Benzema should show that he is truly great player and make all Al Ittihad fans proud.
He looks to be less ready for matches in Al Ittihad, not only matches he missed by his injuries but when he was in their squad, he played worse than what he should perform with his level and quality. Anyway it's not the end of his career and chance to return to Europe, if he completes his 2 year contract with Al Ittihad. Finishing the contract will help him getting about $200M which is like a fortune.

And once sent from that third address the other party receiving the funds will see that third address as having sent it?
When you send your coins, you will have to use UTXOs for sending.

There are two possibilities.

If you are sending all coins in UTXOs of one public address, the receiver will see only that address.

If you are sending your coins from UTXOs which belong to different public addresses like 2 or 3 or more, the receiver will see all of those addresses.
