"If you spent $500-$1000 on bitcoin in 2009-2010?" You would have either lost your bitcoin because you did not store it safely, did not have backups, lost private keys. You would have lost it because using exchanges as your Bitcoin wallet and lost it to them like Mt. Gox and many exchanges died, closed, scam exited since 2009.

Yes that's right. In this match, Inter Milan deserved to win because they played very well and were disciplined. Inter's game was very entertaining, Inter's attacks were very fluid, one or two touches could go straight into the opponent's defense. I see that Inter's attacks are getting smoother and neater and always creating surprises from all directions.
Inter Milan played better and created more opportunities than Juventus. Winning minimally is still too little for Inter Milan and if Calhanoglu, Barela, Arnautovic were lucky or finished better, Inter Milan would have a big win. Juventus created very little chances in the match and their last chance to equalize the match is from a distant shot of Gatti. It is a very bad match of Juventus and they began the match with ambition to win it so a defeat at the end is very disappointed result for them. With this victory, Inter is getting closer to winning the Scudetto this season, all they are doing is maintaining consistency, with a difference of 4 points (Inter still has one match postponed) this is a good sign for the momentum for Inter to win the Scudetto title to become a reality. Hopefully no players are injured, especially the front line.
With this winning, Inter Milan now have 4 points more than Juventus and they still have one extra match. If they win it, they will expand it to 7 points and can have a little relax to focus on Champions League round of 16. They will have to tough matches with Athletico Madrid in this round. |

It is appropriate that Ronaldo's impact will be this big for the development of the Saudi league. Al-Nassr did not waste their money to sign one of these football GOATs and his exposure will also become wider in the following years. The Saudi League has never been quiet since its arrival, plus many European players have also joined this league.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a great success of Al Nassr and Saudi Professional League. He contributed a lot to change the league, at least he is professional and scored many goals for Al Nassr but more important, he helped the club and the league become more famous and attractive to star players from Europe and many telecommunication companies signed contracts with Saudi Professional League. Maybe I think if the Saudi league wants to be seen as more, then every team in the Saudi league must get an equal share of European players because otherwise this league is like a farmers' league because the gap is very large from the elite teams in the Saudi league. I think the bosses in the Saudi league should pay more attention to other teams and if there are investors who try to invest in other teams, it will certainly be very helpful in getting European players. So here I mean it would be fairer if each team had the names of European players who were quite popular, that would be very good for the Saudi league in the future.
Clubs get investment and support from PIF are richer than other clubs and it can be seen with their activities on transfer market as well as their stadiums and dress rooms. I read somewhere that clubs without PIF support have very bad stadiums and dress rooms. In order to build up a strong and competitive league, they need more than only four biggest clubs and it requires big changes in their strategies for the league development. |

While the fans of Al Nassr are mostly happy because of having a player like Ronaldo in their team, it seems Al Nassr and Ronaldo have a long-term plan to work in the next years, even the son of Ronaldo is playing in Al Nassr team
I watched some videos about Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. and he looks to be a potential good player. This lad at least shows some signal that he inherits talents from his famous dad but I believe to develop a player career well, this lad must stay in Europe. It will be different if the lad is not good enough to get a position in an European club, so a decision to move to Saudi Arabia is good. some news about Ronaldo buying a share of Al Nassr which a great move from this player for Saudi teams to have people from Europe investing on their teams.
Just after Ronaldo joined the Saudi League many players joined with him and now after investing om Al Nassr, there can be more good news for Al Nassr.
Cristiano Ronaldo earned money from Al Nassr and he helped the club to be more famous in Europe. If he actually buys shares of Al Nassr, he will trigger many fans to invest in Al Nassr. It can be his personal decision for investment or a Non-Disclosure deal between Al Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo to attract more investment capital for the club. |

Yes, it's true that Dortmund is one of the popular clubs in the Bundesliga which is always able to compete with the big clubs in the Bundesliga, but what makes this club look a little bad is that it often sells its talented players to make a profit and this season we can't see which players have been successfully developed to become players who has quality talent, even though Jadon Sancho has started competing with Dortmund, but when his performance improves, Dortmund will not be able to make a decision because Sancho current status is only on loan, but I am sure that Jadon Sancho will be a player who has very good talent at Dortmund.
Bayern Munich are simply too strong and dominating in Bundesliga and to beat them through a season, it's not easy. Dortmund can do it if they have enough star players in their club but they failed to do this. Because the sports and transfer strategy in Dortmund is buy cheap, sell high. They are very good to grow young players up, to star players, then sell them to get money. Think if Dortmund have Haaland, Sancho, Jude Bellingham in a same team when those players reach to best time in their career, I am sure Dortmund are competitive enough against Bayern Munich. The reality is Dortmund sold all of those star players and Sancho only returned with a loan contract from Manchester United. |

Age is not a big concern on politics but rather the influence towards people. Biden has involved on a lot of controversy even his family that surely blemish his track record. I doubt that he can beat Trump again while the only reason Trump was lose against him is because they for him before and Trump is known for being racist.
Age is not a big concern only if you are not too old. Biden is very old now and it is his weakness in the coming President Election. If I am a voter, I will not vote for him. Trump is old too and if he is elected, he will end his presidency at the same age of Biden now. Just from appearances, Trump look to be stronger than Biden even the current President is more actively with physical activities than Trump. But with current USA condition with inflation. I think Trump will give US a good boost again due to his good economic knowledge because he is a success businessman. Trump just needs to become more civilized to be appreciated again by the public. His silence in the past few years makes him missed by the public.  Trump will be a favorite politician for USA. voters if they want to see better economy. His long career as a businessman and his first Presidency 8 years ago, are his big convincing proof that he will lead the USA. well at least in economy. I read many news that USA. citizens are disappointed with Biden about economy and their income. It will be another weakness of Biden in the President Election against Trump. I believe it is only matter of time before Trump is an official representative of the Republic party for the election. |

Bitcoin gives us an opportunity to make our choice to either use banks without control of our money or use Bitcoin with private keys and have our own banks. It is a great choice for everyone but we have to make decision and also need to have knowledge to know where to store our bitcoin. Surely it is not centralized online platforms. Reminder: do not keep your money in online accountsBitcoin will not completely replace dollar or any fiat currency in a meaning that if there is Bitcoin, there will be no dollar or fiat currency. They will co exist in societies and economies globally. |

The effort Liverpool is putting in the Premier League this season is more than what they put in last season, the main aim is to regain their balance and become the Liverpool they use to be in the last three seasons where they were in tough competition with Manchester City.
I really don't see Liverpool put less efforts for Premier League 2022 - 2023 than they used to do in previous seasons. They got bad ending in the past season because of many issues in their clubs like abundant player injuries which affected their performances in first half of season. They came back strongly in second half of past season but it was not enough for them to join top four. This season is better for Liverpool as injured players came back and contributed for their club. They are again aiming at four titles in this season but I really hope Klopp already learned lesson from two seasons ago, in order to help Liverpool are more realistic with titles they aim at most and reduce pressure on their players. Aiming at all competitions can lead to no tittle at the season ending. But Arsenal cannot still be ruled out of the title race because they are still strong and are capable of winning the league even though they lose some matches in the past; that’s why the title race this season will be tougher than it was last season because any of these three teams (Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal) can all win the league this season.
Arsenal played worse than the last season but they are not too far from Liverpool and Manchester City so they still have chances. Their current ranking is helpful for them to avoid pressure than a first position. They can silently play and collect points and save energy for speedy run in like last two months of season. |

What could make this happen one day will be if bitcoin is hacked, or loses its fundamentals, or turns into a scam... All of this I think is practically impossible to happen. So we will have to live with ETFs forever.... They have existed for many years in other countries and have always worked very well
Bitcoin can not be hacked. Bitcoin is not a fraud, scam. People lost money because they used a bad Bitcoin wallet like close source, custody and they don't have private keys. Or they lost their bitcoins because they lost private keys, did not have backup or lost backups. If anything happens with Bitcoin treasuries of those Bitcoin Spot ETFs, it is not problem from Bitcoin but from those companies. |

I guess it's pretty obvious by now, the psychology of investing and then HODLing = earning profits in the future. There's no better thing that having the mentality that all he hard work (DCA for a long time), will be rewarded sooner.
Doing DCA is good for investment and it is helpful to be affected by many news, fud on the market. It's a good start but to succeed, it is not enough. But in the beginning, it will be a big challenge for newbie on how to accumulate and stack sats and seeing your portfolio going down, but might be tough. But if you have experience those ups and downs and still being resilient, then I think you are not a true BTC holder.
Newbies can actually practice DCA for their investment but they can fail because they don't know how to exit the market. Take profit is not easy because in a bull run, many people will over predict Bitcoin price, its all time high and newbies will be abundant with such price speculations. They will fail to make decisions to take profit and will stuck in a bear market. The psychology behind Bitcoin is to somehow make money. So how do you make money, It depends on how you treat your bitcoin. If there weren't a chance to earn money through Bitcoin investment, then no one would play with that. So this is the only psychology behind investing in Bitcoin. You may earn by holding and trading as well. Based on your experience, you have to handle your bitcoin in order to make money. Otherwise, you might be a loser.
People join this market to earn money. They can have it from investment, trading but gaining profit (money) is their targets that are very understandable. Investment has risk, not only chance to gain profit and people must understand that there is always risk with investment, not only in Bitcoin. When they know about risk, they will have appropriate investment strategies that must match with their financial status and capital source. |

That's possible because as far as I know Julian Nagelsmann will only be the coach of the German national team until the 2024 European Cup, although it is possible that the DFB will extend his contract if the results in the European Cup are as expected
With failure of Nagelsman in Bayern Munich, it's hard for him to succeed with Germany because this national team squad has many players from Bayern Munich. I believe that DFB will have other plans without Nagelsman as they understand risk of conflict between a very young coach and star players. Jürgen Klopp coaching anywhere will be wide open, not just at German clubs or as German national team coach because of his experience can also be said to be one of the successful coaches so the club will very likely make an offer to him, but like the interview it will not happen in the near future so we have to wait until he announces his next destination, but he definitely won't will carelessly accept a club's offer because it will risk his reputation and the club he will choose is of course a club that has good development, not just about money.
Klopp is a safer choice for DFB especially he will leave Liverpool at the end of this season. As a German, it's hard for Klopp to refuse the offer from DFB and it's rarely to have chance to manage a national team. I understand that Klopp, in his announcement, told that he will enjoy his life in one year after leaving Liverpool and will not take a new job during this next one year. I believe in him but if it is an offer from DFB, not from any club, will he change his original plan? |

Etfs get terminated for many reason however most of them are due to lack of demand. There are way too many of these Bitcoin etfs so I predict in a year or two the 2-3 with the least amount of AUM will probably just close down.
It is exactly what's going on with approved Bitcoin Spot ETFs. Two leaders (exclude Grayscale) are BlackRock and Fidelity, and bottom ones have very few demands. In 2 or 3 more years, bottom ones with little demands will have to self close their Bitcoin Spot ETFs and their customers will switch to top ones like Grayscale, BlackRock, Fidelity, ARK and Invesco. Don’t think blackrocks or fidelity will however close down anytime soon since it has a large AUM and will be around for years. Remeber that Inverse Kramer ETF that launched a few years back, it closed down last week due to lack of demand. It just happens with etfs.
I expect they will bring more capital to Bitcoin market because they are very big capital management institutions and total capital they are managing in Bitcoin Spot ETFs are very small compare to total assets values in their management portfolios now. |

"“I think there’s a good chance that … when we get to that 21 million Bitcoins, [Satoshi Nakamato] is going to come on there, laugh hysterically, go quiet, and all Bitcoin is going to be erased.”
I hate this man with a passion, and trust me I know hate is a very strong word.
Sorry for your uncomfortable feeling after reading and watching opinion of Jamie Dimon. Finally he is back and does not bring anything new to enlighten us about Bitcoin. He does not base on fact, knowledge, and the code of Bitcoin to make those interviews and he is like anti Bitcoin narcissist. Bitcoin Spot ETFs approved, Bitcoin is not fraud. Where is Jamie Dimon?All the times, Jamie Dimon's many regret about Bitcoin in one chart. It stopped since 2018 and if the author can update it, it will be informative chart to reveal fact about Jamie. |

I am curious since most Bitcoin ETFs are already approved and I am new to these ETFs things.
Is there any possibility that in the future these Bitcoin ETFs will be terminated or halted?
If yes, what could be the reasons or possibilities it will?
Bitcoin Spot ETFs are kind of business product and there are many companies with their Bitcoin Spot ETFs compete with each other to have customers. There will be winners and there will be losers. I remember some famous people said that in future, there will be some Bitcoin Spot ETFs to survive after going through selection process of market and customers. I believe this statement is true because it is true not only for Bitcoin Spot ETFs but for all business. |

Although indeed, I also confident that Liverpool will win in this home match against Chelsea this time because yes, of course Liverpool still have better quality at this moment compared to Chelsea . But at least, if we check their head to head results when Liverpool are still in a good trend and Chelsea are in a bad trend. But yes, the reality is that their head to head results in their last few meetings, in fact ended in a draw too. So yes, considering such results, it is possible that Chelsea will be able to provide a difficult resistance in this match. If that happens, then of course it will still be difficult for Liverpool to get three points in this match, and it is unlikely to be easy at all.
Liverpool and Chelsea both had bad forms in the last season but Liverpool are better and in this season, it continues to be the same. Differences between two clubs are bigger in this season when Liverpool are holding a first position and Chelsea still don't see top four too nearly. Not only head to head result between Liverpool vs Chelsea but generally Chelsea know how to bring troubles to big clubs. Liverpool are stronger, have better form but they must be careful with their plan, tactics and operation in the match and don't make mistake to give Chelsea chances to make a surprising winning. I am sure if Liverpool players make mistakes, Chelsea players are good enough to convert it to goals and beat Liverpool. |

Yes, I don't think that Bitcoin's blockchain is compatible with MetaMask EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine).
Perhaps this is just a mistake, maybe what they meant is Wrapped BTC or WBTC. And any case, this just shows how poor crypto journalism is.
Bitcoin blockchain is Proof of Work, not EVM with smart contracts. Bitcoin blockchain can not interact with EVMs. However, if it is about wallet, if they use same BIP, they can use same word list for wallet seed and a wallet can serve for both Bitcoin and altcoin storage with same wallet seed. You can get example with Trust wallet. However, even if you use Metamask to store Bitcoin and altcoins, you must have different wallets for different storage purpose. One wallet for Bitcoin storage and another wallet for altcoin storage. |

Liverpool will host Chelsea at home today. I didn't think that the match would end in a draw like their previous meeting; however, I think that Liverpool will win. We can't say that Chelsea is back to their high level of play; Liverpool need to win the match to remain at the top of the league, and if they make any mistakes to draw or lose any of their games, Manchester City or Arsenal will take over the first position.
Chelsea are still far from top four but they will try because giving up now is too early and their players will want to show their best performances to get attention from their national team coaches. Euro 2024 is only some months ahead and star players will not want to miss this big tournament. In Chelsea, they have some young star players who will try to have their first Euro tournament. Liverpool are at the first position and they know that if they lose points, Manchester City can take advantage of their bad result to reduce the difference and even surpass Liverpool. With only some seasons left till Klopp's departure, Liverpool players will try to win one more Premier League for themselves and for Klopp. |

I fully agree here and as for the first point you brought up, yes exactly, Girona is playing their open style with high pace and a lot of offensive pressure and it comes at a cost. But if they were bad in their offensive game, it wouldn't pay off and they were probably to be found somewhere in the middle of the table. But they understand very well what their strength is and they exploit their potential to its fullest.
They have young players and many players who have never experienced any chance to find for La Liga title. It is a magic season for Girona and their players are actually enjoying every match in this season. Together, they are making this magic season for their club and it can be recorded as a best season ever in Girona history even they won't be the league champion. In their club history, they have had only 4 seasons in La Liga with a highest position is 10th. So I believe they will not fall to deeper than 9th position when this season ends, and it means they will make a new milestone in La Liga for their history. Now imagine they finish the season as the title winner and then know that they have to improve their defense next season.
Win La Liga or don't win it, Girona will have to face with a very tough summer transfer season because many bigger clubs are sending their scouts to watch Girona players and are thinking of transfer offers to Girona in order to buy players from this small club. |
