341  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would happen if there was only one cryptocurrency, which is Bitcoin? on: November 06, 2023, 10:04:24 AM
Do you think Bitcoins has competitions? It’s either Bitcoins or altcoins. There is nothing that is competing with Bitcoins or can take its place. Moreover the price of Bitcoins depends on the supply and demand. As we know that the supply is fixed, so everything that sets the price is the demand. If the demand to accumulate the coin is more, then in order to fulfil this demand the price goes up. So put this activity in the situation mentioned by you in the OP. You will get your answer yourself.

Anything that offers the same kind of service is a competitor. Although Bitcoin dominates the industry, there is no doubt that other cryptocurrencies are taking some share of the market.  

For example, a person that is into cryptocurrency have 50% of its portfolio to Bitcoin and the other 50% into the altcoin, just think if altcoin is non-existent,  the portfolio should have been 100% for Bitcoin and this 50% will contribute to the increase of price of Bitcoin in the market.

I agree that the price of Bitcoin is dependent to supply and demand, reason why if there is no other cryptocurrency around, Bitcoin would have way more value than when there is other cryptocurrency in the market.
Diversification is essential to modern personal finance and investment. Consider this: if Bitcoin is the flagship cryptocurrency, altcoins represent digital asset diversification. Your hypothetical scenario imagines all cryptocurrency capital flowing into Bitcoin. Would this be best for investors? Another issue is whether a lack of rivalry in any field would impede innovation. Bitcoin may have had 100% market share, but would it have evolved as fast without altcoins? While supply and demand dictate Bitcoin's value, altcoins give customers choices, which can make the crypto market more resilient and dynamic.

But should investing in altcoins be called diversification? Diversification means both looking to increase profits and looking to minimize risk, but if you invested in bitcoin and then altcoins. I don't think you are diversifying to reduce the risk of your portfolio. Because the entire market depends on bitcoin and if bitcoin disappears then the entire market will disappear too. Allocation to altcoins is not considered investment diversification, if you want to diversify, invest in non-crypto assets.

Competition is what will bring to the market many new products with better quality and help users have more choices. But with bitcoin and altcoins, altcoins do not bring much innovation but instead are scam projects and make the reputation of the cryptocurrency industry worse.

Way to many easy games tomorrow night in the Champions League.I don't think though they will all come out as they should where all favorites win the game as if we parlay all the favorites in a ticket and bet a relevant amount we can make a huge win with these games so I doubt it will be that easy.I also do not see that much room for surprise results as the difference of quality between the teams facing each other is really big and most likely most of such favorites should win their game.It is only on us to choose the ones that will win to hit a big win tomorrow night.
Borussia Dortmund vs Newcastle United will face each other now, I think this is one of the big matches in the 4th match of the Champions League group stage other than the match between AC Milan vs Paris Saint Germain. In the first meeting, Borussia Dortmund could beat Newcastle at their own headquarters, and now it is Borussia Dortmund's turn to play the host status. In the first match, the defeat that Newcastle got was not because they played badly but indeed the defeat was inevitable after Borussia Dortmund could create the only goal in that match. It is difficult to predict who will win, but Borussia Dortmund has more advantages in this match.
The UEFA Champions League game between Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle United at the Signal Iduna Park tomorrow will be a very crucial game for the two clubs in their respective quests to progress to the knockout stages of the competition.
Both teams are currently tied on the same number of points after three matches in the group F which is believed to be the most difficult group in the group stages of this season UCL competition. Borussia Dortmund having been able to defeat their opponents when they played away last two weeks is the bookmakers choice to win again tomorrow but u think Newcastle will definitely want to grab all three points. So I think it'll be a very difficult game for the two clubs.

However, Newcastle team lost the home match against Dortmund. Still I think Newcastle will win this match. I say this because the Dortmund team is not in good form. I have seen quite poor performances from Dortmund players in the last few matches. Even in the last match in the Bundesliga, the Dortmund team lost against Bayern Munich with a margin of 4-0. It is difficult to win against Newcastle in such conditions.

Newcastle's players are now very confident after defeating big opponents like Manchester United and Arsenal in the last two matches. And against Dortmund they will play for this win. Defeating Dortmund is not difficult if the players are confident. Because the understanding between Newcastle players is excellent.

Bangladesh won the toss and took the fielding decision. The pitch is not batting friendly. The average run of the first innings of this pitch of Delhi is 238 runs and the average score of the second innings is only 206 runs. But I saw the South Africa vs Sri Lanka match on this pitch. South Africa set a huge target of 429 runs and Sri Lanka collected 326 runs. So it is possible to give big targets on this pitch. If Sri Lankan batsmen can bat responsibly then they can give 300+ target. And if the target of 300 is given against Bangladesh, the Sri Lankan team will definitely win today. Bangladesh's batting order is very weak.

Sri Lanka looks set to provide a big target in today's match as well. More than 300 targets they will be able to deliver. They lost the wicket of Kusal Perera in the first over. But its effect is not seen in the performance of Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis. These two batsmen are batting very responsibly. In 11 overs, Sri Lanka collected 64 runs with the loss of 1 wicket. Nissanka remained unbeaten on 39 off 33 balls and Mendis on 18 off 28 balls. Bangladeshi bowlers need to pick up these two wickets very quickly. If not, Sri Lanka will easily move towards big collections. Mendis and Nissanka are two very important batsmen in the Sri Lankan squad.

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka's dream of reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup is over now they will play to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy. Sri Lanka is already in a much better position than Bangladesh then if they can win today's match then champion trophy is sure for Sri Lanka and if Bangladesh lose today then world cup dream is over then again their dream of qualifying for 2025 champion trophy is over. In the Asia Cup Bangladesh played two matches against Sri Lanka in which Bangladesh lost both matches and the few teams that Bangladesh performed against in the World Cup except Afghanistan, Bangladesh lost all the matches by a large margin. Recent performance of Bangladesh is not good at all so I will favor Sri Lanka in this match and I think Sri Lanka has 70% chance to win this match.
You are right, I also do not see the possibility of Bangladesh winning today's match according to the current performance of Bangladesh. Bangladesh cannot expect to win the match due to the batting disaster, the bowling line is in a bit of a tough position. The opening batting cannot survive the power play. Bangladesh's batting line is so weak that it cannot perform well even on batting friendly pitches. First of all Bangladesh has been eliminated from the World Cup, I think they will not be able to play in the Champions Trophy in 2025. Tanzid Hasan should be left out of the squad today, and Mahmudullah Riyad should be batted at number 4 or 5. Nazmul Hossain Shanto should change his batting position. If Bangladesh cannot win today, the last match will be played against Australia, it is impossible for Bangladesh to win against Australia. Let's see if Bangladesh can perform well today.

Bangladesh is a team whose performance cannot be predicted. There is no doubt that this group is relatively weak. But suddenly they surprised everyone with a great performance. Sri Lanka will undoubtedly be the favorite in today's match. But I don't forget Sri Lanka's performance in the last match. Set to bat against India with a target of 358 runs, Sri Lanka mustered only 55 runs. The Sri Lankan team was defeated by a margin of 302 runs. Bangladesh's batting order is weak, at the same time I would say Sri Lanka's situation is similar. The performance of their batsmen is also very erratic. So today's match will be competitive. And I will not say that there is absolutely no chance of Bangladesh winning. No wonder this team won. They have the ability.
345  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you rather make your investments in FIAT or CRYPTO? on: November 05, 2023, 07:28:38 AM
The crypto market has an high level of volatility, anyone who is about to make an investment need to have a good understanding of the volatile market. Now the question is even with the volatility will you still choose crypto over fiat when it comes to making investments?
First we must have careful consideration before deciding to invest.
It cannot be denied that investing in Crypto has a very high level of risk, but it is quite worth it with the possible profits that will be obtained, so to minimize this risk we must really understand the investment.
So with the choices we have made, we also have to be ready and learn to learn about the investment we are going to make.
I still choose to invest in Crypto even though I am aware that the risks are very large, but I have the confidence to be able to take advantage of the knowledge I have learned.

In choosing to invest, we must be realistic, there is no investment that will provide large profits with small risks.
Investing in Fiat is actually a good choice too, but this investment is relatively stable and the risk is very small.
We have to understand both and then decide which direction we want to go.

I agree that cryptocurrency is much riskier than any other investment but as you also said, the rewards are worth the risks we take. But I wouldn't say investing in fiat is a good choice, fiat devaluation is unacceptable. So fiat should only be used as a medium of exchange and we should only keep the amount necessary for daily needs. For the rest, if we don't like cryptocurrency because it's too risky, we can also choose other assets like gold or real estate...those assets will secure the value of our assets more than investing in fiat.
346  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is It Late To Invest In Bitcoin? on: November 05, 2023, 07:04:14 AM
There's about 100 years left before the last bitcoin will ever be mined and given that a lot of analysts has already concluded that bitcoin's here to stay, I don't think that your pessimistic view that it's already too late to invest in bitcoin is grounded in anything logical because the price grows eventually and no matter what year or price you're going to buy your first bitcoin, it's always going to be giving you a profit if you're to hold out for the long-term which a lot of bitcoin investors do, they buy and accumulate and HODL until something big happens like the new all-time high showing up.

Sure bitcoin will continue to rise but I think the reason OP is feeling bad and pathetic is that he missed out on millions of percent of profits by not buying bitcoin sooner. He is expecting and wants a huge profit, not the x3 or x5 profit we are looking for, I guess that's why he wrote this topic. If my prediction is correct, he is too late to invest in bitcoin because bitcoin will no longer be able to bring such thousands of percent profits. Those things will never happen again.
347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 04, 2023, 05:04:57 PM
Arsenal lost to West Ham in Carabao Cup midweek could could be attributed to resting of some their key players thus I still believe that the team is still very formidable and stand a chance to win their match Newcastle in today's match though it will be very close, however I believe they would narrowly win the game, Newcastle drew their match against Wolves last weekend after the centre referee Anthony Taylor awarded a penalty controversially to them  thus Newcastle remain inconsistent in the league, I don't think they can win a more determined Arsenal side, though playing in St. James' Park is advantage for the home team.
I doubt with that because Rice, Saka, Martinelli and Vieria were played in this match, it's different when they past match against Brentford where those four players weren't playing. Even they use such "resting player" strategy to prepare the match against Newcastle, I don't think they will win.

Newcastle is evolving and they will play in their own home, head to head score is pointless here.

Arsenal and Newcastle United are in almost the same kind of form in the last five matches. So I don't think anyone is going to have any advantage in terms of having good or bad form. If any team between these two actually does not go ahead with the full power that they have in this match, I believe they will actually be prone to losing, to be honest.  Arsenal definitely cannot afford to lose this match. They will have to win this one because that is going to make sure that they stay in the second position, even if Tottenham wins the next match. And if Arsenal wins and Tottenham has draw, Arsenal has a chance to get into the first position depending on goal difference.
348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 04, 2023, 04:57:23 PM
Farmers league, lol.
I think Bayern, after losing in the cup, is more dangerous now cause they know they have to deliver against Dortmund, otherwise there will be even more trouble.
And Dortmund, they will try to give their best but in the end it won't be enough I fear. Hopefully I am wrong but I have a bad feeling about this game. In the Bundesliga Dortmund hasn't played against 1 single strong team yet, that's why they are unbeaten. But in many games they had problems scoring a goad, and they played almost all the teams of the bottom 6 already.
If they have a good day they can beat Bayern but I think it's more likely to see a 1:1 / 2:2 or a close Bayern win.

Maybe I'm not the only one who feels the Bundesliga is boring because there is only one winner, not two or three seasons, but it a decade since Munchen won the trophy. Regarding Dortmund chances of beating Munchen, it is very difficult, but they are at an advantage because they act as hosts. Their performance is also stable and are unbeaten in the 9 matches they have played. So I think that even though on paper Tuchel squad has all the attributes to win, it is not impossible that a surprise could happen.

I want to see Munchen stumble, by sharing points in this match. Actually, I want to see tight competition in the top four of the standings, which is better than previous seasons. so that the Bundesliga becomes more interesting and gets more attention.

The match is going to start after an hour from now approximately. I hope that this match is going to be close and not one-sided. but I have a feeling that Bayern Munich is going to win this match without too much pressure from Dortmund. both of them are currently in the same type of form.  So even though I did say that the match is probably going to be won by Bayern Munich, I also believe the match should be a close one.  If we look at how many goals Bayern Munich has been able to score this season, I think we have to say that whatever happens, this is not going to be a goalless one.
349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: November 04, 2023, 03:26:58 AM
Real Madrid is the most successful team in the Champions League and they got humiliated by Manchester City last season. To me it seems that the achievements from the past don't help you a whole lot when you are playing new games. Sevilla has won it last season and that is fine, but how does that raise their chance or make them the favorite this season? My guess is that they may not even make it into the Europa League, but if they do wouldn't it be short-sighted to think that they are the favorite because of the title they won last year? They have a Champions League group that they should survive against PSV and Lens, but probably they don't. That's proof enough that they would not be the favorite in a competition where Liverpool and Leverkusen are playing. If they can't beat PSV or Lens, why would they be favorite against Liverpool or Leverkusen?
It's because of psychology.

People always forecast anything base on the history, so they think Real Madrid is the strongest team in UCL and Sevilla is the strongest team in UEL. The luck that those teams have in the past seasons make they think Real Madrid and Sevilla will have a same luck in the future.

It's correct a new strong team might challenge them, but not every time.

That's what I think as well, but it's bad that people draw these weak conclusions. Experience plays a role and that is why teams who have won a title before can indeed have some kind of resistance in difficult situations during a game that other, unexperienced teams might not have. But all of that is worth nothing when you get destroyed by a team that is simply better like we have seen in the Champions League. Sevilla had a remarkable Europa League season, but they won't repeat it. Nominating them as the favorite if they get eliminated from the Champions League seems irrational to me.

And if we think about psychology, we can also say that Real Madrid is superior going into the Champions League because they have a very good record in the competition. So that puts them at a psychological advantage against other teams. But we all know that psychology is not everything. If you cannot actually perform in the field, psychology is not going to matter too much. First of all, you have to believe that you can win. And after that, you have to put in the best effort. Anyway, it is not impossible for a young club to give teams like Real Madrid a goat competition. But I also agree that it is not going to happen every time.
350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 04, 2023, 03:02:03 AM

Let me say you didn't see the game against Newcastle during mid-week cup game, Casemiro was available for Manchester United and was also carded, he was substuted during the second half of the game, as we saw Sofyan Amrabat replacing Casemiro that night.
They have players that can fill in for that, Scott MC Tominay and Sofyan Amrabat ( A double pivot to free up Bruno Fernandez and the wingers and attacker ahead ) but Erik Ten Hag has choose to be a Fvckn idiot.

Fulham game should eventually be a win or draw for Manchester United. Wan Bisakka, Rugulion are both players to fill up that wing back positions. Manchester United can have hope with this two improvement including Casemiro back!
You're right about Erik Ten Hag being an idiot ( sometimes though) because you could see him start Dalot instead of Wan Bisakka and Lindelof instead of Regulion and the most annoying part of his tactics is that he uses Bruno Fernandes from the flank when he's got Antony, Mount or he could even play Rashford from the right and Antony from the left flank, you'll see that United would be favoured by the bookies but they're play outdated football that's boring and makes it hard for them to win an easy match.

 Well with news I'm seeing all over social media I learnt the former Ajax boss has been given just two matches to prove himself worthy or face losing his job so I believe he'll try as much as possible to do better against Fulham and also pick the right choice of players for his starting 11, he needs to find every possible means to help United improve.

I think it will be a draw for Manchester United in the next match. I don't trust them to be able to win in the next match against Fulham. Even though the current form of Manchester United is actually better compared to Fulham, I think Manchester United has been inconsistent enough for us to say that they will probably not win.

The coach has definitely made some bad decisions in my opinion. I really think that it is just a matter of time before he loses his job. The only reason he still has his job is because they do not have others who are going to be better for sure.
351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 04, 2023, 12:55:20 AM
Yes, I must say that at the moment Juventus, as a fan, is satisfying me a lot.
I am very satisfied even if we are not playing any cups, never mind. But the games are fun and fun so I like watching my favorite team like this. <3
Fun and love Cheesy
Currently, Juventus only competes in Serie A. But this seems to have a positive impact on the performance of their squad itself. Or as many people say, Juventus is better now because they only need to focus on Serie A. So it is not surprising that currently Juventus is ranked 2nd in the standings.

But in the next match Juventus will face Fiorentina. And I think Fiorentina is a pretty tough opponent. But maybe Juventus will still get full points in this match. Because Lazio also just beat Fiorentina. And I think Juventus could have done better than the way Lazio beat Fiorentina.

Going top of the league would be a great one for every Juventus supporters to see happening. Gradually they're moving to the top which has always been Allergi's favorite position as Juventus Manager.
I'm hoping they go very far this season without much Competition and wins this Seria A League tittle.

They have accumulation of points more against any side in the Seria when they face Fiorentina than any other Seria A side! Juventus will sure do better when they face them, they have seen a massive improvement in the defenders and how they have been stabilized in the last four games. Now let's hope they the attackers score and bring the win.

So far Juventus has done well. They have definitely performed pretty much above average to be at the second position of the table right now. I think they are very much capable of performing well continuously throughout the season. And if you talk about how they are going to perform in the next match, I will say that they have a very good chance of getting three points. They also have a good record in the last five matches. They do not have even a single loss in the last five. So yes, I think we can be hopeful about Juventus in the upcoming matches.

He won't do it. He'll want to wait for the verdict first and this will take at least a year. Then, if he gets 30 years or more, there's a chance he'll do it.

For a young guy, getting out at his 60s or 70s is like a death sentence, especially that he's a weak looking guy. If he got into a prison camp he might survive, but in a normal federal prison he won't make it with all those street thugs around. He'll end up as someone's girlfriend.

Should we care about him? It wasn't a mistake that he made. It was years of stealing before he got caught. He knew what he was doing.
I'd be more willing to release Ross than SBF and Ross is in for life.

LOL.. do you really think that this guy will spend more than a few weeks behind bars? He made hundreds of millions of USD worth of donations to various political causes (the vast majority of which went to the Democrat Party), and his parents are very rich and influential. He may get sentenced to a lengthy jail term, but I don't think that he will serve more than 1% of that time in a proper prison. Ross Ulbricht's case was different. He was from the other extreme of the political prism and he went against the system. You can't compare Sam Bankman Fraud to Ross Ulbricht.

Have you been following SBF's trial recently? According to an article I read recently, the trial is over and he has been convicted of 7 different crimes. What's even more interesting is that he could be sentenced to up to 115 years in prison and everything is almost certain and is no longer a rumor. His lawyer couldn't get him out of even a single charge, let alone get him out of jail. I think his connections and contributions to politics were useless because it couldn't save him from those counts.

353  Economy / Economics / Re: Is academic pursues enough to get incomes? on: November 03, 2023, 12:58:01 PM
There is no doubt that academic pursuit is enough to get a job.  Most of the average-paying job requires an academic degree, so people who fail to get a degree don't have a chance to get into this kind of job and most of them often land on jobs that pay less, this is based on the system of my country.  Academic degree holders have a higher chance to get a high-paying job than the skilled but don't have an academic degree.  Most managers and supervisors position need an academic degree plus a master's degree regardless if they have the skill or not.


I also heard that the same fact happened in several areas in my country. But in my current area, apart from an academic degree, there are other things that we must have in order to be easily accepted into a job. Namely having connections to insiders. Even with a high academic degree, it will not be easy for us to be accepted into a company if we do not have connections to insiders.

But people who don't have inside connections can also be accepted for work easily, namely with money. Well this is quite a strange thing. We look for work to earn money. but I have seen many facts that to get a job we have to pay someone to help us to get hired. But I don't like that. In essence, it's like fishing for money with money.
It's ridiculous but I think this is common knowledge.

That is one of the problem that fresh graduates facing, some of the jobs might required degree but some achieved it thru connections by recommending them despite the fact that they do not meet the expectation of the role in the job. And it's true some would ask for money with saying that "we would immediately process it" that's how hard to find a job. I don't know I think it's fine for me? Cause I know for sure they wouldn't last long in that role cause they've only attained it by just having connections and paying someone, so when the company have a high expectation from them, they won't even meet that for sure. In short, the best thing is to process it right and let them find your potential but yeah it's hard with the numbers of unemployed people.
But you are right that those who enter a job not because of their abilities or skills but because they only rely on insider connections and money, then in the end sometimes they will not be able to last long in that job. Because still forcing ourselves in a field that is not our expertise is not easy. Especially large companies that really need people who really have expertise in certain fields that the company needs. So never give up for those of us who don't have insider connections or anything like that. enough for us to continue to hone our skills and expertise. Because if we can have skills beyond other people then we won't be the ones looking for work but there will be jobs coming our way.

Do you think that if someone can take advantage of relationships and spend large amounts of money to get a job even though it is not their expertise, will they easily give up that job? Or who can afford to fire them? If they already have enough power and money to buy that position, they can afford to maintain that position until a better position is obtained. That's common in my country, people with high education but without good connections cannot compete with people who have connections and money.That is also one of the many reasons why many people today feel that education is unnecessary and useless.

But that doesn't mean people without relationship won't get good jobs. There will still be many companies recruiting based on experience and practical skills, but they will need to try very hard because the competition is very fierce.
354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is a “safe haven asset” on: November 03, 2023, 12:42:38 PM
As far as I know, safe haven means that the asset not only needs to meet profits but its safety needs to be guaranteed and in this case only gold can meet that requirement. With thousands of years of existence and recognition around the world, along with stability in value, gold is truly a safe haven. As for bitcoin, the asset that brings the highest profit but also has the highest risk, it does not meet the safety level. People just looking at its profitability and assuming it is a safe haven are incorrect, making that claim just because we are showing bias towards bitcoin.
Experiencing an increase when world economic conditions are not good has been proven by Bitcoin and Bitcoin prices can remain stable even though the world economy is deteriorating, but to maintain its value over a long period of time has not been proven so we cannot consider Bitcoin as a safe haven asset. .
Maybe everyone has different views, but personally for me only gold can be called a safe haven asset.

The level of profit on Bitcoin investment is quite large, so the risk will also be comparable. There is no investment that has the possibility of large profits but small risks, except investment in real estate, which is also risky and has a long time to make a profit.
I think all investments will be worth it with all the possibilities and risks.
So in that way I think Bitcoin is in a different position.

I think you're saying the opposite, in the long term bitcoin actually maintains and increases its value rather than in the short term with its volatility.

Yes, I still see some people considering bitcoin as a safe haven and they have their own reasons, so I agree with you that it depends on each person's perspective.

I don't rule out real estate, real estate may be the safest asset but it is not the most profitable asset even if you hold it for a long time. When compared in terms of returns, no asset can outperform bitcoin.
355  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin In Bullish or Bearish Trend? on: November 02, 2023, 07:38:45 AM
In the grand scheme of things, Bitcoin has hit the ground running for the next bull market and I believe that we are not going back from here. The momentum that we need to get the price back up to its previous ATH is gradually coming back and we have started to see Bitcoin increase in its volatility than what we had it few months back with little stability in the price. I'm more bullish than I have been in months back.

We can say that we are in the pre-bullish phase but if you think that we will only go up from here and there will be no decline then that is not entirely certain. I mean bitcoin probably won't see a drop below $20k, but a retest of bitcoin below $30k is entirely possible. Don't get too excited and too subjective just because of bitcoin's growth in the past 2 weeks. My prediction is different from your prediction, I believe we will still have adjustments before and after the halving but it will not be too bad, the worst is over.
356  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buying at 35k? on: November 02, 2023, 07:21:41 AM
Hallo people,

I bought some bitcoin at 26/27/30 and 31k. all profit so far, I am thinking about buying more, but is 35k te expensive to buy bitcoin?


I do not think 35,000 is too expensive to buy Bitcoin. I think we are now seeing 'bullish' signs and there will be lots of profit and higher Bitcoin price then 35,000.
If you know Michael Saylor and MicroStrateg he has bought more Bitcoin. In last month October he did buy 155 more Bitcoin for $5.3 Million. When this man is 'bullish' like that it makes me feel we are going up.
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/microstrategy-acquires-an-additional-155-bitcoin-for-5-3-million

It is too expensive compared to last year's low price of $15k, but still too cheap if our target is the next bull season and will only sell when bitcoin reaches $100k or more. Those who have not collected many bitcoins but still continue to hesitate because they think it is expensive will have to pay the price for their greed, later they will have to buy at a higher price of 35k$ if they do not buy now. If we are long-term holders, why do we still care so much about bitcoin's short-term price? That just prevents us from filling our pockets with bitcoin.

Look at how the market is currently doing on Fear & Greed, Greed is very strong and this indicates that many investors are coming in and getting ready for the market surge when the Halving happens.

https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/

The greed index is increasing and is quite high while we are still in bear season, is this a good signal for the market or will it be a pre-set trap waiting for those who are too Fomo? I know everyone is happy and excited that bitcoin has surpassed the $35K level against many people's doubts. But is it time to tone down our excitement when the greed index is quite high? This is just my speculation but I'm starting to think a correction could happen at this point because people are crazy thinking the market will continue to rise.

Going back to the OP's question, I think bitcoin cannot yet be considered a safe haven like gold, just because a company claims it doesn't mean they are right. We need worldwide recognition for bitcoin to truly become a safe haven.

The problem is that currently Bitcoin is only recognized in a few countries, even the world bank IMF has given stern warnings and penalties to countries that dare to legalize Bitcoin as a currency or legal tender. So I totally agree with you, Bitcoin cannot be tied to Safe haven assets at the moment. It is more of an asset that provides the highest return. We'll never know if Bitcoin will go and grow. Because now they are just commodities. At times they may be lost or worthless. So if you say Safe Haven Assets maybe Gold is the best answer.

As far as I know, safe haven means that the asset not only needs to meet profits but its safety needs to be guaranteed and in this case only gold can meet that requirement. With thousands of years of existence and recognition around the world, along with stability in value, gold is truly a safe haven. As for bitcoin, the asset that brings the highest profit but also has the highest risk, it does not meet the safety level. People just looking at its profitability and assuming it is a safe haven are incorrect, making that claim just because we are showing bias towards bitcoin.

Yes, Bellingham won the competition, because Bellingham was basically a midfielder but his goal-scoring skills surpassed those of the great strikers of this era . In that way, I think about Ronaldo not being a striker at first either, but playing at Real Madrid then Ronaldo was placed in a pure striker. So yes, whether is it possible that over time Bellingham will also be placed as a pure striker. Because after all, of course the coach will also greatly utilize this great potential to make Bellingham a goal machine in the future.
Very worthy of Bellingham but that doesn't mean Bellingham has the ability to score goals more than a striker, Bellingham is still a midfielder who plays quite well and what he has done with Real Madrid so far is that he has done more to fill the gap in the front line of the Real Madrid team. so his movements that help the front line are more offensive so he can score a lot of goals so far for the team.

I never thought that Bellingham would be in the striker position, in fact the Real Madrid team had to look for another striker so that Bellingham's task would not be too hard to help the team, Bellingham plays as a midfielder and he has carried out his duties very well.
In fact, he takes on more than his duties as a midfielder. Jude Bellingham manages to step up and carry his team whenever the team is in a critical period. This is a success story. This performance of a 19-year-old midfielder should be talked about. He has shots like a striker. The last goal he scored was like Valverde's typical goals. He is such a fascinating football player.
It's an amazing story from him. There will be no other guy who will be doing the same thing like him. Seeing young players of barcelona looked like overrated compared with bellingham. bellingham is a few players being formed into the one player.
Im always watching him play with real madrid and he is a very sensational player. Bellingham was still young but he was able making so many records for real madrid. I never expect that this guy will be playing as a striker at the same time with midfielder as well.
It will be impossible to get another bellingham again. He played multiple role at the same time. Im seeing real madrid plays used 12 players instead of 11 players.
I count bellingham as 2 players.  Cheesy

I actually have a feeling that Jude Bellingham might actually transition to being a striker. He is scoring a lot of goals. And I don't know if people have seen him scoring but I have and I really think that he is goals are incredible to watch. Now if he will actually be a striker or not in the future it is not certain. But at the same time, I also think maybe it will be better if he continues to play as a midfielder because he is doing really well. So probably he wouldn't want to change things up too much.

For sure that will be the most watched and interesting game on the coming Weekend between Dortmund and Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich is always the favorite in all games even there are teams like Dortmund , Leverkusen or Leipzig when they playing aginst them.
Its hard to say who will win this game , as Dortmund is playing at the moment very crazy and different from week to week.
Its possible with some luck that they can win that but from the players on the paper Bayern Munich will make it.
Football is played on the field and although Bayern Munich is the favorite of many right now, Dortmund is a team that can win this match. They had a great win against Newcastle United. Considering that both teams came well rested, it will definitely be an enjoyable match for us to watch. The result of the Bayern-Dortmund match will directly affect the position in the league. I'm sure Leverkusen will follow the result of this match with curiosity.
Every one is having his own review and analysis of games and teams with this all I have feeling there is no doubt about Bavarians are best in Bundesliga and Borussia Dortmund is always their challenger but with completely different mind-set Bayern Munich mean win trophies and having the best quality players and Borussia Dortmund mean buying big players and after some polish sells them to big clubs for the higher price which is giving them good profit many times they were near to win the title but luck and their own mistakes stop them from doing this.

Now again we are going to have another interesting encounter which will have good entertainment and good chance for the home team to beat them and jump at the second spot with this defeat Bayern Munich can go at 4th spot which will create more action and entertainment in coming weeks for the Bundesliga viewers around the world.

I think they should be an easy win for Bayern Munich. There is no reason for them to end up losing. If we look at the last 5 head to head matches between these two teams we will see that Bayern Munich has been the team to win 4 out of the matches and the other one was a draw. So I think Bayern Munich is going to go into this match being very confident. But at the same time, Dortmund should be very determined to win this match because of what happened in the last season. If that does not get the blood boiling for them, I don't know what will.
