AC Milan defender, Alessio Romagnoli, is believed to be joining Juventus next season due to his expiring contract at AC Milan, previously Juventus were rumored to want to strengthen their defense and continue to target several players to be brought in in the transfer market later, it seems that the transfer is likely can be realized because Alessio Romagnoli is currently starting to lose his place in the AC Milan squad after his position was replaced by the duo Fikayo Tomori and Simon Kjaer.

Did something happened between MerihDemiral and Juventus? They need a defense, chiellini is getting older, Merih was a good defender, still a great defender at atalanta right now, and they need another defender next year yet for some reason they gave up on Merih. I did not watch too much of him, by the highlights on youtube he looks great but I am pretty sure I can make a great highlight of even me let alone some defender at Juventus so that is not an important scouting.

I do not get why they would want to get Romagnoli when they already had a very young and a great prospect defender like him. In any case, they are professional management there and they probably know what they are doing. I am just a fan who watches and gets confused about decisions they make, which is what fans usually do whenever a team makes a move that they do not understand.

That still doesn't solve the issue of affordability. The Tesla Model S costs around $100,000. This is around 3 times the price of a similar automobile which runs on gasoline. Personally I don't afford paying up to 50% more for an EV. But 200%? That doesn't make any sense for me. They need to reduce the cost and make the vehicles more affordable. And for that, they need to dump the current Lithium-Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminium batteries and move towards a battery technology that uses less expensive metals. I am afraid that it may not happen anytime soon.
It is not just about EV or anything, it is both a symbol plus it is a much better car. If it was only EV that you are looking for, then you can get a lot cheaper cars, you can find hybrid for as low as 10-20k, that means there are cars with 80% discount on a tesla model S, and if you would like to, you can buy them, and yes 50% cheaper EV that is a lot better. However tesla is a symbol, just like how iphone was the most expensive phone you could get for a long time, it is getting closer these days but still it is the most expensive one, why? Because it is a symbol and not just the product.

If your aim is only to get an EV then you can do so cheaper but if you want to have a symbol (no not renault) then you could pay more and get a tesla. Plus the fact that it is so much better is a big plus, it literally drives itself, how many EV cars can drive itself on the road?

Fair enough. Of course, I do adjust my betting from season to season, and that's definitely based on dollar value. Just 2 seasons ago, 1 mbtc is today 0.2 mbtc, for example. But I do tend to stick to units like that rather than adjust to the satoshi. If price were to double or halve, yeah, I'd adjust for sure.

It is cool to see the dollar value, for sure. Just really wish we could get more accuracy on the actual sat/dollar value already wagered at least per server time.
Maybe I am not doing it the right way neither, I mean after all in the trading and investment world my aim is to always have more "crypto", whatever coin/token we are talking about, my aim is to have more and more of that. So I do not care if I have 1 bitcoin that worths 50k, I want 2 bitcoins that worths 50k total, that way when it goes up then I will be happy anyway, and that is my finance part of the crypto world.

If I am like that in finance part, why am I like this on gambling? Why do I force myself USD when it comes to wagering? I have no idea aside from knowing how much I gambled and managing to stop myself before it grows big, that is literally the only reason I have, maybe I am wrong, maybe I shouldn't be like that, I am not entirely sure neither.

recently from few weeks i am loosing  my money continuously with the same strategy  i have been using since last 2 years. I don't know what happened to me. So please anyone can guide me through this situation, it will be very helpful for me.
I guess your strategy might got outdated according to the current market conditions. It means that your strategy requires some modifications so that it could withstand against current level of volatility of crypto space. I remember many traders had complained like this because those people never find time to continuously updating themselves and their strategy as well.

Now is the time to change it because the crypto market always follows a new strategy.
It is not crypto market but it is crypto traders. Just because of traders are switching over to something new and advanced, market must be behaving completely different from how it was doing some years back. So, the traders who are still sticking with the old strategy might be finding difficulties to make profits.
3225  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Single pair trading or double pair? on: September 20, 2021, 07:07:16 PM
Of course it would be better if you trade your capital in different pairs. It would be better to trade in different coins. However, it will be a little difficult in the beginning. Because it is difficult for a beginner to keep an eye on different pairs of different coins. But over time, that is likely to change.
From the perspective of diversification, trading at multiple pairs may seem like a good idea but considering about the management skills and technical analysis then you should not go for trading at multiple pairs until you are good at all the required skills including risk management and time management.

In my opinion, trading at multiple pairs must need lots of experience and this is why it cannot be suitable for naive traders. Only for pro traders it might be suitable because they know how to manage multiple trading pairs more effectively and profitably.

As far as i know Haaland has a clause in his contract that says that he can leave Dortmund for 75 M€ after this season which is of course way below his current market value of 130 M€. I highly doubt though that Dortmund will sell Haaland before the end of this season though because they already made enough money with Jaden Sancho which went to Manchester United. That whole situation makes it also very much possible for me that Haaland may join Bayern next season, because Bayern would never pay ridiculously high transfer fees of 150 M€ or more even though they could do that, but 75M€ seems reasonable. Plus Lewandowski could leave the club after this season to player for a few more years in the premier league, bayern would probably still get around 30 M€ for lewandowski after this season.
So in the end Haaland decides for himself where he wants to play in the future, if he can continue to perform at this level of course.
Are you sure about that clause? If you could provide a source for that clause that would be great. Because if Dortmund could have sold him for 100-150 this year but declined to do so to keep him one more season and then get 75 instead, that would be a moronic move by dortmund to reject that much money for just one more season of Haaland. Don't get me wrong Haaland is a perfect scorer and I think he deserves to be even more expensive than Neymar and break the highest transfer fee record, he is THAT good.

However if there is a clause for 75 million, then that's waaaaay lower than what he deserves. I am not sure about Bayern though, they are not known to give too much salary to players neither, other teams may offer as high as 50 million a year for him, specially Barcelona may do that since they got rid of many bad contracts, they have that cap space.

Hamilton has likely only one more year in Mercedes and probably in F1.
Russel will be the new Mercedes's top driver in the next future.

I wish you're right. But I fear that this won't happen this soon. Hamilton likes to have some drama around him, this makes the newspapers write about him, show his picture, show his sponsors...

There are some 5 (maybe more) drivers now in F1, some are even my favorites, which should - sooner or later - make way to newer, younger ones. I expect Formula 2 and Formula E has quite a number of drivers that could fill those spots in the blink of an eye.
Hamilton already has a contract until 2023, which means that he will finish this season plus 2 more seasons after that. After which depends on how the next two seasons go. We all know that there will be a financial cap to the teams which will be a bit of a challenge for teams like Mercedes which spends more than bottom few teams combined, and then we have Hamilton who uses so much of that cap as well, expensive salaries for drivers will be biggest problem after cap.

As if that wasn't enough, we are going with brand new car design as well, which will make it harder for drivers to adjust to it as well, I do not expect clear Hamilton or Verstappen domination at the start of next season, which means that if Hamilton at his age doesn't get used to the car quickly, can't get as many points as we used to him getting, and still spends too much of the cap Mercedes has, then he may retire after 2023 reasonably.

If a user play casino games only then he/she can use a simple technique to calculate out his exact wager amount on each round.

Watford has won against Norwich City today in the Premier league. It means we are going to see another $250k dogecoin race on next week, isn't it?

Yeah, but I play both casino and sportsbook, and when you gamble in crypto, you don't use dollar values, that's just how it is. I know you can switch to show USD value but even that fluctuates...  Anyone who bet on Watford would have won regardless of the outcome once they scored first, but yeah, another DOGE race for sure.
I am not 100% sure if I agree with you on that one. I do use dollar values, I always check what my bet is doing in dollar values, and then gamble accordingly. That is why I like the other side that offers dollar value option as well, it is really cool to see it. I get that we are in crypto and in crypto trading world or investment or whatever I do use crypto values and do not look at the dollar value constantly to see how they are doing, I try to just let it be and do not pressure myself on checking it constantly.

However, while gambling I would like to know because I have a fiat limit for myself, if I end up losing that amount then I do not gamble for a while, that matters to me because thanks to that method I have stopped gambling too much and haven't lost too much for years now. Hence checking the dollar value is not really a bad idea, crypto is not bad neither of course, it is just optional.
3229  Economy / Economics / Re: vitalik's contribution is also great on: September 19, 2021, 08:02:05 PM
I feel that vitalik created blockchain 2.0, which should be regarded as a milestone in the currency circle. In the world of blockchain, his contribution is second  after Satoshi Nakamoto.
I do not think so. If you are referring smart contract within blockchain as a new innovation then I guess such a feature was introduced before ethereum in this crypto world (please correct me if my memory is not serving me exact things). In my opinion, Vitalik was smart enough to convince most IPO devs to adopt ethereum even they were having multiple options for the same purposes. For example, waves also got options to provide smart contract things but for unknown reasons most devs are not bothering it for issuing tokens.

Anyway, I respect Vitalik at least for standing along with his project till date and making it 2nd most successful crypto unlike what dogecoin and litecoin devs did.
3230  Economy / Economics / Re: How to Influence the Bitcoin Market on: September 19, 2021, 07:18:28 PM
1.   Having all needed knowledge about the Blockchain market and Bitcoin itself.
2.   Always move with and follow the people who are well known in the Bitcoin
        market and whose steps and forecast stands as proposed in the market.
3.   Chart readings and understanding is one of the key factors which one must
        consider to make sure they contribute and influence the bitcoin market. This
         makes you know What has happened, What is
         happening
and What will eventually happen in the
         next trend.
4.   You must have the capital to put in and make yourself known as “Elon Musk did”
I don't think you must need knowledge about bitcoin or blockchain in order to influence the bitcoin markets but definitely you must be needing very big capital like how Elon Musk announced that he had invested with the bitcoin by the times of March month of this year. Otherwise you need to be a celebrity and even you are not investing anything into bitcoin but you can announce like you are an investor of bitcoin and having plans to invest more just for the reason of influencing bitcoin markets.

Anyway, if you're really loving bitcoin and respecting the work of Mr. Satoshi then I guess you never need to influence bitcoin markets because you can adopt bitcoin and you can invest bitcoin anonymously so that only the consequence of your investment will be felt by others but not your identity and your influence.
3231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Uk most deprived areas have the Highest number of gambling outlets. on: September 19, 2021, 06:41:45 PM
Apparently according to the source people are targeting the most deprived and economically weak areas which is sad. The companies are trying to scam people away and this is not working well for the people around since they might get addicted for sure.

How should they go about controlling these things? Should the government try and make laws to ban such behavior and such state? I think people should have a minimum wage for sure when it comes to gambling, what do you think ?
But I'm not sure what are the considerations taken for the people who are ready to travel for gambling purposes and those gamblers who are always not gambling in the nearby houses but having their own favorite houses even those places are miles away from their living/working place.

I mean to say, the location of gambling houses may not be a critical concern against targeting a set of people who might be getting addicted to gambling or not. If gambling is easily available then people will be getting addicted regardless of where they are living and the level of their awareness against gambling addictions and its dangers. So in my opinion, where the gambling houses are located must be least significant in regarding gambling addictions.
3232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: G A M B L E R S ❗❗ What are your thoughts on this? on: September 19, 2021, 05:58:05 PM
I love to gamble against other person and not against computer , this makes me more competitive and aware of the situation that just playing online or against programmed game.
I believe most gamblers are preferring to play against other gamblers because they are believing when they are competing against another human then there will be less possibilities of manipulation even in the probably fair environment. I'm not going to justify their opinion is right or wrong but when we are looking for instant gambling then we need to go for playing against house because there cannot be some player will be waiting for you to arrive and join to compete against you all the times. This is the reason why playing against houses kind of gambling is more popular and widely available everywhere.

The beginning itself a big disappointment for all the CSK supporters on losing the very early wicket of Fah Du Plessis. The first over was well bowled, and the second wicket have fallen in the second over. This time it is Moeen Ali. If this continues we can expect a target around 150.
I do not think that Chennai Super Kings may score 130+. As of now they are struggling by losing 4 key batters including their skipper MS Dhoni. If the current pair will be able to put a 100+ partnership then we can see Chennai Super Kings to score 150+ runs. But, bowling attacks against world class bowlers like Boult and Bumbra, I do not think it will be possible and I guess Chennai Super Kings may not touch 120 itself.

Today I got better odds for Mumbai Indians in my favorite places but due to new pitch and new leg of tournament, I opted not to bet on the first match of this leg of IPL. I guess I have missed a very good opportunity today.

After sometime, now Paypal officially Tweets about their openness to crypto.

All eligible Paypal customers in the UK can now buy, hold and sell Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum,  Bitcoin Cash & Litecoin from their PayPal account!

How will the market react, will this be enough to send BTC into 48K+ or not? What do you think?

https://twitter.com/paypaluk/status/1438746959364308995
The market is already above $48,000, and I don’t expect much from this. Although it is good that they have decided to raise the limitations that they applied before, it’s now going to be better because people will be able to receive and also send out crypto currency from their wallets, than before when you had to convert it in your PayPal wallet. One more thing that is remaining now is for them to extend this service to other parts of the world.Although I do understand that they are still in the testing period for this, and once things get better they will be able to extend it to others. So far they might just continue with those in the UK.
3235  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Today I helped 2 non-crypto people invest in bitcoin on: September 18, 2021, 09:08:45 PM
My only concern is the bad part. Did you tell them that there'll be storms? Did you explain that there's a bull run but sometimes a bear run? Because I am sure that you definitely not want them blaming you for any of their loss. Whenever I bring people to crypto or tell them about investments, I also let them know that it can be risky. I hope you did this, if not, you can still tell them while it's early.
No matter how much he tells them when the market goes down, they will always blame him. I have helped a long chain of my relatives and friends to dive into bitcoins and they always blame me when the market goes down. When things are going good, they feel proud and forget but if things go slightly wrong, they are all over me.

I am not too concerned about them though because I spread the word about bitcoin not just with a charity mindset but I know that by spreading about bitcoin, I am helping myself as well since I am an investor.
3236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Probability is not the reason for your loss on: September 18, 2021, 06:21:13 PM

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT PROBABILITY IS JUST A GUIDE THAT WILL INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. Its not a cheat-code that will guarantee your win every now and then.

I've seen people blaming probabilities, wether they put their trust and still lost, or lose all of their trust to probability just because that one game didn't play like what they want it to be.

Use probability wisely, and you will surely appreciate and honor its abilities.
Do you mean in most occasions, probability is the thing being blamed to justify the event of occurrence of losses in gambling? But, this is how mathematics works, right? If you have ~48% chances (if house edge is 2%) to hit then you have 50% chances to miss out as well. We cannot do anything about that but we need to accept and need to move on.

Nothing in this world got 100% assurance. If you have skills then you may increase your chances to be hitting toward more than 50% but definitely not up to 100%.

Moreover, probability is only the justification for our losses and definitely not the root-cause for our losses in gambling.
3237  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 18, 2021, 04:19:42 PM
AC Milan performance in the Serie A this season have been quite impressive. Although, they lost their first Champion League match against Liverpool. But I think Juventus will have a tough time winning against them today. While Juventus haven't won any match in the Serie A, but won their Champion League match against Malmö. Which may boost their morale about not losing today to Milan. Am predicting 1-1 draw.
It makes sense that you would expect Milan to continue this form since they are already good. However last season they were leading the league at the start of the season as well. I do not remember how long it was, but for a while they were the leaders and it wasn't just like a week, it was for a while. Then what happened? Well, they finished second, they were not that bad neither by the end Cheesy. However, they did not finish at the top like they were.

So, I am assuming that they may not be able to actually keep this form up. Juventus do not look awesome neither, and they did manage to beat Malmo which is good, but I doubt that this game is easy for either side, it is going to be a proper battle.

Even though there is no 100% working trading signal, there are several platforms that offer a crypto trading simulator, e.g. crypto parrot 🦜 which offers such services to enhance crypto traders’ skills and development that guarantees trading profits. I have not tried it out but will like to hear from users who have used such services in crypto trading.
If you are not sure about what you should do, it is a free thing in most places. It is just a demo, go check one out and do it, if you like it then keep doing it, if you dislike it then do not do it. It is all up to you and how it makes you feel, nobody forces you to do anything you do not want to do. I personally like them, for example the first one I got into was investopedia stock market challenge, it has been nearly 12 years and I am still checking it monthly, I have made a not bad return for a long time, now I am not doing as well as I hoped but the market wasn't that great neither to be honest. Hopefully it would be wise to keep doing it and learning because I can't stop, but you should do whatever makes you feel better.
3239  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is a game of capital on: September 18, 2021, 02:53:03 PM
I have experiences of trading with below $10 and making more than 20% of profits. In my opinion, your capital is not a big criteria for your success in trading but your technical and money management capabilities. You may argue like to withstand against negative markets, we must need big capital but when your technical analysis is too good then you may enter at the perfect entry level from where market may not show negative directions.

Trading must be a game of skills and capital and all other things are playing just supporting roles. I agree without capital, we cannot get into trade but having very big capital in no way assure you profits; yeah, still you must need good skills.
These days I do not think that you can start trading with $10, because even the transaction fee is higher. Assuming you somehow earned $10 and it was sent to your account, then we could maybe assume that you would be doing fine by simply swapping in places like BSC, not even ETH because that would be too high fee, if you can find something cheaper and still has some volume in other chains that would be great too because BSC is getting expensive as well.

This is why I believe that we should not be doing anything with 10 bucks but to hold it, just keep that in an investment somewhere, buy cake and stake it maybe, and then try to grow that bigger, it would be a lot more profitable if we did it with more money.
3240  Economy / Economics / Re: How Bitcoin differs from gold on: September 18, 2021, 01:45:35 PM
What you say can indeed come true, if we see the popularity of Bitcoin continues to increase and more and more people are starting to choose to invest in Bitcoin over Gold. Moreover, millennials have started to focus on all things digital, then Bitcoin has also proven to be more profitable than Gold.
So indeed as time goes on there is a possibility that the demand for Gold will decrease. For now, investing in Gold is still safe and profitable, but we don't know what will happen in the future if we see Bitcoin's development is growing rapidly. Moreover, if many countries start to make Bitcoin a legal tender, many people will focus on investing in Bitcoin compared to other assets.
Millennial is just one aspect of it, we have now Z generation that grew up with bitcoin being a good and big thing. They do not remember the period when bitcoin was seen as a bad investment and all those talks about how it will be zero. Right now anyone who is 20 or so or even maybe younger thinks that bitcoin is this, the current thing, but they do not remember 10 years ago, or even 5-6 years ago when people were mocked for being interested in it.

This means the more we live, the regular it will become and crypto will be something that everyone will be using not only because it is a great thing but also because they have lived with it all their lives. Think about people who are 10-12 year old right now, when they are 20+ in 10 years they will be adults who lived in an age bitcoin was a thing, never seen anything before bitcoin, their birthday is younger than bitcoins.
