Lewandowski has proven his worth in Bayern Munich and as well as in the German league as a whole. He has been consistent for sometime and will like to go and prove himself in order leagues. If he can go to Real Madrid, it will be a very good advantage to him because he will won many individual and club awards.
Considering Mbappe and Haaland move. I believe Real Madrid at any time will choose Lewandowski above the two star players.
Unless they will consider the age of the young stars for a longterm business.
That young age matters a lot, I mean yes Lewa has played great at Bayern for the past few years since he joined, but Haaland has been in Dortmund and almost caught up to him last season, which should show you that maybe Haaland would have scored even more if he was in Bayern? Lewa is 33-34 years old if I am not wrong whereas Haaland is 21 years old. Would you rather (considering it would be after summer) a player who is 34-35 years old, or someone who is 22 years old?

I would prefer the 22 year old player. Obviously their talents matter in this decision but can you tell me that Haaland would not be awesome? He is already an awesome player and he is already scoring so many goals, so not like the difference between them is too much, I personally feel like Haaland is even better, but that is my personal opinion, so it is obviously understandable to get someone who is 10+ years younger and almost the same talent.

I'm expecting Galatasaray to have big problems against Alanyaspor in the league next time. Galatasaray are one of the most out-of-form teams in the league now while Alanyaspor are one of the best teams currently. This is an away game for Galatasaray and I feel like there will be another loss for them here. Galatasaray are closing in to the relegation area step by step every week. After this game, they have three comfortable games actually before a very tough fixture. Galatasaray must win those three games first. Then, they will have a few tough league games in a row. At least, they can get prepared well for this fixture.
On contrary, I am expecting them to have one of the best performances they ever had this season, maybe even more than needed. This is their chance to actually have a chance and if they end up losing this game as well then things are not looking out for them at all, it is going to be terrible, but if they end up winning then they would have a small leeway and would definitely have a chance.

They are "better" than anyone in name, so it is not really that difficult for them to have a win, they spent so much money but when you look at their roster that doesn't look like they actually got anyone, in order to cover that back up, they need to have some decent finish, otherwise it is going to be terrible for them for the long term, bad for at least 2-3 years, but if they can finish at a decent place then they could recover a lot more quicker, this game is not their last chance but it is definitely a good turning point.
3343  Economy / Economics / Re: This why wall street are rich and you are poor on: February 01, 2022, 06:49:12 PM
Well, I quite agree with this. borrow money, to make more money. however, in the crypto world, we never know which coins will be pumped, and which ones will be dumped. although there is quite a lot of speculation that we have, prices always move based on information that has happened. well, so it's very risky to borrow money then try to invest in crypto. however, if you believe in the risks you can take, well, then give it a try.
it's just that, based on this, I came to understand that people who move and take risks to take big profits are faced with two things, namely losses, and very large profits. What makes most people rich is that they take those risks.
That is why you borrow money and then invest into something that is a bit more guaranteed, a bit less risky. Like for example mortgages are great for that, you borrow money and then you get a loan for 10 or even 20 years if you can, and after 20 years, you have a house that worths A LOT more than what you paid for since inflation will make sure the price would go up, and by the time you are finishing, on your last years the debt will be tiny because of inflation as well.

Assuming you make 1000$ per month, and you pay $500 for the house, by the end of 10th year you will be making 2000 or even 3000 and still paying 500 and that is the great part about it.
3344  Economy / Economics / Re: Which business profit model do you prefer? on: February 01, 2022, 06:18:39 PM
Business model for the rich as a target market will surely be expensive. I mean rich people loves spending too much on the things that gives them comfort, entertainment and convenience all at the same time. Now, If your risk appetite is huge enough to fund the kind of business model you want then go for it because once your business took off you'll be expecting huge profit than starting a business designed for the average people.
I am not entirely sure if it is exactly that expensive as people imagine it is. My friends wife's friend built a clothing company, it is basically very oversize, like nearly all your body close to your feet winter coats, like that garbage bag looking ones, and they were selling it for 500$+ each.

It cost them like around 25$ or so to make them, and that was mainly because they were getting low orders made at the start, maybe it wasn't that expensive if you ordered like ten thousand of them, but that was the price at the first 100-200 orders. So, this dude managed to just design something, then talked with some manufacturers and then sold something for 500$ each, which could have made him double profit if he sold it for 50$.

It is not easy to convince rich people to spend their money on you, but it is easy to convince their wife's, ex-wife's, children and so forth to spend that rich persons money on your products, that is the people you have to try to get, not the rich people directly, or at least that is what he said.
3345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 31, 2022, 08:04:13 PM
What an unexpected loss for saint etienne in the french cup because of them i lost my bet they couldn't even get past a team from the second national league and after a good first half they were not able to maintain the score and they conceided a goal in the last 15 minutes of the game and they could've lost with a larger score.
Honestly, teams do not care about the cup so much because they know that they will eventually lose to PSG. PSG is trying to build a team that is exactly for this reason, playing in elimination games, albeit they are doing it because they want to be great at UCL and not care about French cup neither, but that is just by product of their current system. Which means that they will end up winning all of their games probably.

St.Etienne should have won that game for sure, a few more wins wouldn't really be bad and they would have earned some money, even sell some tickets, so it was something nice to get it. However, when you have no hope, players go out there with no hope and that results with unexpected losses.
3346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 31, 2022, 07:09:45 PM
we will have great games like:

FC Bayern Munich - RB Leipzig

this will be a great game and my bet was that Bayern Munich will win this game

Borussia Dortmund - Bayer 04 Leverkusen


I bet on Borussia Dortmund to win, I know this is a very risky bet, I hope they don't disappoint me
It is certainly a risky bet, but I do not think that it is too much, Dortmund is a great team and definitely better than Leverkusen if you ask me, that should not really be a problem for you. I feel like they are beating everyone lately, even though they are not and I know they had a loss just a few weeks ago, they just seemed so dominant. Same goes for Bayern but they were dominant at all times, so it is not really a big surprise for me at all.

I feel like there is a good chance we could see something rare happening this time around, I know that it is not really a thing that is people expect but if one of these bets end up being a draw or a loss, I am sure that there is a lot of money to be made from that.

what a comeback from nadal down 2 sets and  a break  Shocked Shocked

Do feel very bad for medvedev though, what a nightmare   Cry
I would like to also congratulate Medvedev as well. He went against one of the greatest tennis players in history and he went toe to toe with him. I know that Medvedev is not bad himself neither but Nadal is on another planet when we are talking about talent, maybe he is as good or maybe he got worse from his peak but that dude is still one of the best ever in history.

So, to go with him to the last point is something very good. In any case congratz to Nadal, dude is just surreal, he keeps winning at his age, I was thinking maybe he lost a step and he would not be as good anymore and he would not be winning, which we have seen from other all time greats where they are awesome and beat everyone but then end up not being great when they get older, but Nadal is still doing awesome.

Regulations or no regulations it makes no difference. If the government chooses to ban crypto currency across the world believe you me decentralized exchange would take up the challah to build up a well secured transaction platform where coins would be transacted with ease and we'll securedly. Technology is actually advancing and there is no problem under the sun humans can't tackle with Blockchain and Artificial intelligence
Yes decentralized exchanges has always been the saviour. But these people has been studying cryptocurrency for years now, what if it is possible that they have found a way to get around this?

Although I don’t see the possibility yet, maybe because I don’t know whether it’s going to work or not, (not good with the technical aspect of things here), but I have seen news of how they plan to make use of centralized exchanges in having more control and a better edge in the cryptocurrency system.

According to the news I saw once, it says that whenever centralized exchanges or a custodial wallet user makes a transaction to a non custodial wallet address, they would be required to put in information of the owner of that non custodial wallet address. Wouldn’t that be a way for them to be revealing those making use of decentralized exchanges? I am not yet sure about this, but we would get to see if it’s true or not.
3349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: January 30, 2022, 06:46:30 PM
I don't see France with so many chances to win.
They even have good players, but you can see that they don't "know" how to play as a team. Their performance at Euro 2020 was notorious. And even during the World Cup qualifying games, it was noticed that they were very unstable. I think they would have had a lot of better to do an excellent World Cup.

On the other hand, I think it is difficult this time to choose a possible winner. The fact that the World Cup is in Qatar and is played in the middle of a season, a lot can happen that surprises everyone.
Its never easy to predict who will win the world cup, surprises happen all the time. Italy, England, France all have a great chance just from Europe, and yes we usually have winners from Europe, and that is why I would give these three the biggest chance.

However, that doesn't eliminate Argentina or brazil right away, they may not be awesome like they used to but they are still a decent team. All in all I am feeling like there is a good chance there will be 4 or even 5 teams that will fight very hard to win it. Which one will win it? I have no idea and I am guessing that betting on the winner will be a very difficult thing to do.

what you say is true, and also very strategically correct
your technical contribution and your analysis are very intelligent
however what is missing in this trio is a strong synergy, individually they are very strong but together?
Not always great champions manage to do well together, if they succeed they become unstoppable
Sometimes you do not need all three of them to be great together. We all know Neymar and Messi played together and if the two of them play a great game together where Mbappe is bad, then it will be fine and they could still score together, they could have a great play. We also know that Neymar and Mbappe have been playing together for a while as well, and they do have some chemistry which means that the two of them could play great and if Messi is not then it would be fine.

So, if 2 out of 3 plays amazing, they will be better than whatever Real Madrid throws at them, and they can win the game very easily. What the problem really is all about, is the fact that all three could play differently in an individual way and it could be very bad for the team. At least two of them need to work together and find a way to actually connect.
3351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 29, 2022, 09:22:59 PM
Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney were the best options.  However, because Wayne Rooney did not want to come, the option was singled out.  Lampard has a great football background.  Moreover, he also served at Chelsea for a while.  He will be a great coach for mid-range Everton to pass on his experience.  I'm already curious about Frank Lampard's Everton performance.  Maybe if he achieves a more successful technical career, he can return to Chelsea, where he is a legend, as a Coach.
I still can't believe that these two are the names that comes to mind when there are other managers. First of all, when did we stop taking managers out of clubs? That used to be a thing, managers would be managing a team, and much better team would just come up with a 2x better offer and also would pay for the compensation to other club and then get it. Look at what happened with Xavi, dude was managing another team and he was taken from there.

So to say that it would be just Lampard or Rooney because other managers are already managing a team doesn't make sense to me. Get Mourinho while you are at it, Roma is not a bad Qatar team of course but Everton could still both pay more than Roma could AND also pay Roma to let him leave at the same time, not like Roma is doing marvellous neither. I just don't get it, it should be easy to pick anyone from other leagues aside from few top name coaches, why limit to lampard and rooney?

Harry Kane has scored 23 goals in 35 appearances for the entire previous season, as well as being in Son and form. Tottenham's performance was good due to the remarkable performance of this pair of them. But Kane and Son have not been in rhythm since the start of the season. Kane has scored only 5 goals in 19 matches. Since the team relies heavily on these two players to score goals, Tottenham's overall performance has not been satisfactory. Tottenham need attacking midfielder now.
I would guess that the whole talk about him leaving and being sold already etc etc got to him and that is why he is not really happy with the club. Either he wanted to get sold and play somewhere better and he is upset that it didn't happen, or he is upset that he was even considered to be sold when he has been such a crucial part of the club. Either way, he is not happy with what he got and that is the main reason why we got to see him play this bad. Son is a great player but he didn't have that connection anymore since Kane was offline, so all by himself he couldn't do much, he is a good player but he is a maestro at first and if he doesn't see anyone then he can't do anything neither.

if we do look at it from that perspective then yes the results were not that bad.

16 times - 50 satoshis
11 times - 50 RP
23 times - Lottery tickets

Although I received lottery tickets most of the time but cumulative result of satoshis and RP results with more than 50% which is still good.
But I really wish that freebitco.in decides to reconsider their decision or at least increase the chances of winning more than base rewards.
That is not too bad, you got 800 satoshi, and 550 rp which is (if you reach 100k total) basically 550 satoshi as well. So a combined of 1350 satoshi out of 50 wheels. That is not too bad, I mean obviously you are not going to get life changing amount from this, it is just a wheel and obviously people will not get too much out of it, this is a free stuff. Comparing this to the fact that you could claim the faucet as well for free stuff, this one is quicker and pays a lot better.

You could get more than 24 wheels a day as well if you have enough fun tokens and hold it long enough right? So this is basically just a better faucet if you look at it that way then you would not be bothered with the results, some people (not saying you) think that they should be making a good income from this and see it as gambling but we are not putting up anything for it.
3354  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is $34k the bottom?? on: January 28, 2022, 06:59:52 PM
but if you look the other way and the worst is of course $20k can still happen because indeed if you look at the last few years especially 2018 they fell quite a lot and this could happen to such a decline. Even though we have to be optimistic that they will return, we still have to pay close attention to the worst possibility too
Even during that period the drop wasn't that steep right away. The real drop in 2018 happened during early period, from December to before summer, price dropped from 20k to around 6-7k prices, and that was it.

When we reached under 4k was during October or November of 2018 if I am not wrong and that happened because BCH and BSV had a fight, Craig Wright wanted to take over BCH and that is why he sold thousands of bitcoins all at once to buy for miners and he still lost but that dropped the price. Now we do not have anything like that, which means that we are not doing that badly, the initial 20k to 6-7k type of drop already happened, and I am not expecting it to go to all the way down to 20k.
This is something people do not even care about anymore. If people could have realized that the drop was because of a feud between few bitcoin rich people, then they would know that they would not see something like that again (probably). Because at the end of the day, we are talking about something that is dangerously rare and yet people act accordingly.

Everyone calculates the drop from 20k to 3k but the reality is that the drop was from 20k to 6-7k level like you said, and it even looked like it was about to go parabolic because all the charts showed it and yet because of one idiot rich person it dropped down even more and it took us a year or so before it recovered.

According to rumors, the tests in Bahrain (the second session of the test) will not be TV-covered!

Don't know if it s a final decision but it will be a shame if it will be in this way.


The 1st session in Barcelona should be under F1 TV.
Is there a reason for it? I mean it is not like we have 500+ races a year, it is not like football, we have so few f1 races anyway, and to not be televised for the test run would be a bit of disappointment for sure. I know that is not a race, it is test run, and that is why it is not as important but that usually gives us a chance to look at which teams look good or not. Mercedes had a horrible test run last season and yet they still managed to win the constructors last season so test runs are not even that important.

However... it is just fun to watch you know? I hope they backtrack it, or there would be some illegal streams somewhere that we could watch but if it is not televised then how could it be illegally streamed neither (hoping maybe it was given to some Bahrain tv rights thing). In any case, I can't wait for the off-season to be over.
3356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 28, 2022, 04:58:31 PM
in this race for the transfer it was clear that the chances of city winning and being the club that will stay with Haaland are greater than other clubs like real madrid although I think that Haaland should go to real madrid because in spain he would develop more in relation to being in the city. because city's style of soccer doesn't seem to fit Haaland style of play
It's a difficult choice for Haaland to decide on. It may be beneficial for him to play for Real Madrid, but this player will be very successful no matter which team he goes to.
He is still a young player who can improve himself in every aspect. That's why every team he plays will add a lot to him.
I hope we watch him as an important player in a team that can win the champions league at a young age. I'm worried about Haaland, his performance may suffer due to the pressure on him
It needs to be a team that is already good enough, but would be insane with him on the board. Real Madrid is a weird position because they are not bad offensively, they need defensive players, so if he goes there then the result will not change much.

I would guess that he could win La Liga which is not that hard for Real without him as well, so with him it should be easier, but UCL would be the key. Whereas if he goes to a team like Liverpool, which we all know won't happen, then they could solve that salah mane or whatever problems and just put Haaland up there and he would be good enough to change so much for them, they could become both premier league champions AND win UCL. Or just City, which is a simple choice, they would definitely win both EPL and UCL together in that case. So it needs to be a team that will dominate with him on the roster.
3357  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Deep before the Raise on: January 28, 2022, 10:43:52 AM
This can be the deep before the raise. In reality the market reaction is due to several reasons that are connected. The FED meeting that has got postponed is stated as a reason for the market to get pushed some extent and fall back below $36k. Now institutions and whales consider it an opportunity to accumulate bitcoin. There is no change in the dollar inflation rate and the same is being postponed to the March month. The US dollar index is found above 97% strengthening the dollar. This has reflected on the global market decline along with cryptocurrency market.
If whales are seeing this as a great time to accumulate as much as possible, and if the retail investor is scared and running away, then I am sorry but the rich will get richer, that has been the case for many years so far. I can't lie that I have been following what the whales are doing and trying to mimic it as much as possible, I have made some profit thanks to that.

I know that people have emotions and when you see the price going down then you feel terrible about your investment and get scared, but the reality is that if you see something you believe in dropping in price then you could be doing a lot better and just keep holding it as long as possible and can still profit, of course that is only if you believe in it.

I've also learned that Trading is not an easy money machine. It always need your time and effort and most important you have a lot of knowledge, strategies, patience and self discipline. If you are able to enter, you should also determine your trade exit.
I think the main things that I have learnt by trading over the years is patience and self control. Patience and self control has been the key things in trading, for me. If you don’t learn to have patience and self control, you would end up messing up your chances and trading at the wrong time, and as a result of that, losing your money.

Being a trader requires that you learn to control your feelings, and not be someone that is always acting on impulse. You have to take your time with the analysis of the market and make sure that you’re going in at the right time .

The entire crypto market is falling again today, but is this the first time? Didn't it fall the same way in 2021 before the new ATH? And remember what was the level of greed and fear at $40,000 a year ago and now? I see this drop as an opportunity to buy fundamental tokens at a good price. I bought NEAR, Sol, Aurora, Harmony, Link, ADA.
It was known long before it happened but we just couldn't see it. I mean the prices were low, not this low but it was under 50k for a long time and we should have realized that it was failing to go up. I mean if it could, it would have already and it tried a few times as well and always came back down.

Just because it also failed to go down, I thought that the higher prices would win, but at the end of the day it didn't happen that way and it moved down. In any case, this is a great discounted price for me, I know some people hate that type of approach but for me it is like that.

So, all I will do is buy more and hope that the price goes up soon. Even if it doesn't go down soon, I have a good amount of money saved aside this month, normally my finances are bad for the past 6 months but this month I didn't had to spend anything at all, barely small stuff like food and.. well that's about it Cheesy. Personal reasons for it but I am happy that I have some money aside, I will probably use that to buy some more coins.

How do you know that the Russian economy is on the verge of collapse?
Many "experts" in my country think that the Russian economy is pretty much OK and Russia has enough resources and raw materials to survive on it's own.I don't know,maybe most of these so called "experts" simply like Russia way too much,which makes their opinions biased.
I still don't think that Putin will invade Ukraine.He's just raising the stakes,so he could get something more out of the negotiations.
The tensions between Russia and the western world will impact negatively the cryptocurrency industry,because many miners are located in Russia and many Russians are trading and owning cryptocurrencies.I don't believe that any US sanctions towards Russia would make the Russian government more "crypto-friendly" than before.
Economy is not something that you can hide very well. By the easiest methods, you could check how much inflation is (real one, not what government says), see what the average increase on salary was, check the rent prices, then check the value of their fiat versus dollars or some other fiat, and you can see it.

I mean it is not something you can lie about, it is not something you can hide neither, sure you can say inflation is 1% when it is 10% type of lies but people would know the truth when they check like only 10 items and their prices. Which is why we know that there is a Russian economical crisis. However, to be fair, no nation in the world did better than last year, it is getting worse for everyone.
