I see many business companies in the world are currently accepting Bitcoin or cryptocurrency as payment. We all know that cryptocurrency is associated with high volatilities, now I have a curious mind, how do they cover up by accepting these high volatility coins?
Do they all use the gateway to exchange those for stable coins or do they hold that?
No one tells us how they do it, it all depends on what the adopter's goals are.
If it were me, maybe I would hold it and not sell it until a certain time limit or at least when I make a profit instead of immediately converting it into fiat. This is a double opportunity to earn profits in addition to profits from the goods I sell. It's just that you still have to have a reserve budget to cover your business needs so that it continues to run according to plan.

There are risks to consider regardless of what decision the adopter makes, so it's up to them to do it as long as it's good for their business. Selling immediately or holding bitcoin long term is fine as long as they believe it is best to keep their business running.

I am also not asking you to agree with my opinion or anyone else's opinion on this matter, because I only see what has happened based on existing facts. And this matter is actually quite simple to understand because I have known Bitcoin for the past six years and even more than that, I also really understand that it is only a previous analysis that is clearly stated on all sites so that the AI machine only draws conclusions. AI is a new machine created by humans to find out more things in a very easy way, but in terms of the price of Bitcoin, it will not be precise enough if someone relies on it because I have known Bitcoin since. The AI machine still doesn't exist and who knows where the machine will be at that time.
If AI can perform analysis, not just predictions, perhaps to some extent the results can be trusted. However, because of how it works, AI is not the right tool for building wealth in crypto trading or investing. All users also know that no one can predict the future, this must be sincerely acknowledged. So far, research and personal experience since being involved in this industry are some things that are helpful, including in making predictions, especially for personal consumption.

Villareal failed to maintain the 1 goal lead they managed to create in the first half, all because of negligence made by their defense line in the 91st minute, fortunately I didn't place a bet on this match, I doubted that Villarreal would be able to win even if they were host for this match. There is also something that I'm annoyed about with Garcia Toral, why didn't he play Capoue from the start, I think Capoue has a lot of initiative as a midfielder, unlike the others, this draw means that Villareal and Mallorca only compete with narrow points.
Villareal and Mallorca's performance is basically the same, this is reflected in the total points they collected in 21 matches. Mallorca tends to have a stronger defense than Villareal so far, of course because Mallorca only conceded 25 goals in 21 matches compared to Villareal's 42 goals. A 1-1 draw seemed appropriate for both of them, especially considering their performance so far.

For now, the Valencia vs Athletic Bilbao match is still ongoing. Both teams drew in the first half and both still maintained the score at 0-0 until the second half. Bilbao tends to be able to pose a threat to Valencia's defense, but they were still unable to score a goal until the 60th minute. But in my opinion, Athletic Bilbao has the possibility to end this match with a win.

After 3 matches without a win, today Roma will probably secure a win against Verona at home. So far Roma has a 2-0 lead over Verona through goals from Romelu Lukaku and Lorenzo Pellegrini, but considering that Roma is quite good at dominating the game then maybe 3 to 4 goals will be the end of this match.

Daniele De Rossi raised the spirits of Roma who parted ways with Jose Mourinho, even if Verona is just a team in the relegation zone. It's been a great start for Daniele De Rossi as Roma coach and that's exactly what any fan would hope for.

Meanwhile, Udinese will host Milan soon. Milan will try to narrow the points gap with Juventus and Inter who are above by winning this match. Of course, winning is mandatory if Milan wants to maintain its hopes of fighting for the title or qualifying for the Champions League next season.

Arsenal 5-0 crystal palace
A completely bad day for Crystal Palace, they did not create any sufficient threat or attempts to score a goal and Arsenal had all the chances in the game, controlled the midfield and scored five goals. It will be a big motivation for Arsenal to reignite their title chase again. For Crystal Palace Manager, his job is on the line, because Crystal Palance did not play well and have been having a series of bad results in the premier league. The result takes Arsenal to third on the table of the premier league. There is a lot of focus on Brentford and Nottingham Forest now, if any of them wins the game, they will push Crystal Palace down the more on the table.
Crystal Palace's loss to Arsenal was not a surprise, and I think Arsenal deserved to win the game rather than drop points. In terms of squad depth, Arsenal has no reason to lose to Crystal Palace and Arsenal did it at home. The dominance and effectiveness of attacks really belonged to Arsenal in that match and Arsenal made good use of it to win.

Basically Crystal Palace also had a chance, but maybe they were unlucky in this match and fail steal a goal from Arsenal. So, 3 teams currently have the same points. I mean, Manchester City, Arsenal and Aston Villa both have 43 points, but Manchester City have 1 game in hand which could possibly give them a points advantage over the other two teams.

What two games just have giftedto us this two teams, im refering to Atletico MAdrid and Real Madrid, just incredible in a short span of time two games with more than 10 goals combined and high level of emotions, i cant just imagine how the fans feel in both matches. One per side ended up.
The performance of Real Madrid players was really bad in the Copa Del Rey, and this season Atletico Madrid managed to thwart Real Madrid's plans to defend the title. This is clearly a shame because after all Real Madrid has better squad depth than Atletico Madrid, but that's football where the favorite team doesn't always win every match.

Atletico Madrid, Girona, Barcelona, ​​Mallorca, Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao, Celta Vigo and Real Sociedad managed to qualify for the quarter-finals this season. These 8 teams will fight to qualify for the semi-finals which will likely be held in the last week of January. Barcelona against Bilbao, it was a difficult match for them.

Its reason why Liverpool manager dislike with AFCON play on middle competition not at the end, with potential Mohamad Salah have long term injury will make Liverpool on difficult position for winning Premier League this season.
I don't sure Liverpool have consistency winning games without Salah and have many matches left not only in Premier League but also Liverpool want to win UEFA Europe League trophy.
Jurgen Klopp have confirmed to media he doesn't know well about Salah injury and how many weeks need to recovery, actually is not happy information for him with Liverpool in the winning trend and potential for winning domestic league this season but if Salah have absent until the end this season will difficult opportunity for Liverpool to be the domestic league winner.
Klopp was of course annoyed by what his player experienced after defending their country at AFCON. No coach wants his main player to get injured while defending his country in any competition, that is also how Jurgen Klopp feels about Salah. Hamstring injuries can mean players have to be sidelined for a long time to recover, so it's clear Klopp was never happy about that.

Salah has the potential to be absent for a long time with Liverpool and that will clearly be detrimental to Liverpool in their efforts to win the title. Of course this will really benefit Manchester City and several other competitors such as Aston Villa and Arsenal, that's because I'm also not sure Liverpool can win matches consistently without Salah.

Some people actually came to the right time when it comes to buying some bitcoins and they didn't doubt their decision in the past that's why the result was perfect for them. Others were not convinced by the idea behind it in the past so they were left behind and only wanted to invest after the price was significantly increased. As for me, I for more decent money in the past compared to these days because there were few competitors back then but today those who are willing to take big risks in daily trading can get huge income because of their trading skills and luck.
If everyone knew the huge potential of bitcoin in its early years, then they probably would not have excluded bitcoin from their investment portfolios. Even all users who had hundreds to thousands of bitcoins in the early years also regretted their decision to sell all their bitcoins in the past and that was all unexpected.

Bitcoin is really worth so much now that it would have been unthinkable for anyone in the past. Early bitcoin investors really regret that and I've heard their stories in various places. Nobody can go back to the past, but bitcoin can certainly still provide huge returns in the long term even though its price is currently hovering around $41k.

This happens because Madrid apart from those who do have more complex player strengths, the role of the players can also still be said to be balanced in contrast to Barcelona which is not too balanced in that regard.
Losing Cortouis, Militao, Vasquez and Alaba is indeed a big loss but it can still be anticipated with several other players who are still very young and can be played anywhere like Tchouameni or their senior player Nacho who can play in the defender position and for the full defender problem filled by Vasquez actually he is an option for Carvajal so Madrid can still breathe a little different from Barcelona.

Losing Ter Stegen is a difficult situation and losing their 2 speedy wingers Gavi and Raphinha will certainly make their situation worse as time goes by because up until now, losing Gavi and Raphinha in attack alone has affected their performance because Xavi cannot find options for the 4-3-3 scheme he always uses.
Of course, Barcelona is currently in decline due to injuries to several of its main players. Ter Steigen is a better goalkeeper than Inaki Pena, but Xavi has no other options because he has limited goalkeeper stock. Likewise with wingers, but Xavi has tried his best to make Barcelona compete even though the results are not satisfactory.

So far the points gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid is very large. that's about 8 points that look hard to catch if Barcelona don't really improve. The odds are too low to secure the title this season, but Barcelona is a team that should not be completely ignored.

There is no one (especially a coach) who does not like money in any case if an offer comes to him, but if the amount is not too large than the offer made by a great club. Of course Mourinho would choose to coach a great club rather than have a career in a certain league with a club that is not great, but if the offer could be quite tempting for him. I think he will also go to Saudi Arabia if someone wants to use his services as a coach who is experienced and also great at football.
Mourinho might have earned far more respect from fans if he had accepted an offer from an Arab club instead of another Liga team. Mourinho lost a lot of confidence in the Premier League and La Liga, as well as Serie A after he was sacked. It was a condition that made him one of the most frequently fired coaches, but he was always stubborn,

If the points deduction sanction is imposed again on Everton, then I think Sean Dyche fleet will have difficulty surviving in the EPL next season. It is true that there are 17 remaining EPL matches in the future, but I don't think Everton will be able to sweep all the matches and get full points. Because there are several big clubs to face, where these elite clubs almost always create a tradition of beating Everton to increase their points. On the other hand, the player mental factor will definitely have an impact due to points being deducted for the second time, it is very reasonable why Everton is having difficulty staying in the EPL.

Currently, the number of points scored by Everton is 17, if you subtract another 10 points it becomes 7. So Everton position will automatically be at the bottom of the standings, 9 points adrift of Luton. However, if Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United still have the same performance and there is no improvement, then Everton chance of escaping the degradation zone will be open again. I think that is the only scenario that will happen, provided that Everton itself must be able to target full points when facing mediocre clubs.

I'm also curious whether the sanctions imposed should be in the form of points deductions, or whether there are other sanctions that could allow Everton to escape this time. I mean something like a fine in the form of a certain amount of money, in this case I don't know the details and flow. Apart from that, if Nottingham Forest also receives sanctions such as points deductions, then Everton competition to escape the degradation zone will be even tougher. It is reported that currently both clubs are waiting for the final decision, and in particular Everton plans to submit an appeal to defend themselves.
There are many scenarios that could occur if Everton suffer another points deduction this season. They must try as hard as possible to keep winning points every game and fight to escape the relegation zone. Of course this is a bad moment for Everton and their players, but they can still recover to at least survive in the Premier League next season.

But the problem is, Everton's performance so far has been very poor. They have suffered 10 defeats in 21 matches and what is worse is that they have suffered 3 consecutive defeats in their last 4 matches. The team's performance is really poor and it will make it even more difficult for them to stay in the Premier League if Everton get a points deduction.

I am sad because a few weeks ago he never said anything about his health when visiting us at a family members reception.

Apart from that, the victory that brought Real Madrid to win the Super Cup trophy could also indicate that Barcelona this season is not really ready for any competition, be it the La Liga competition or the Champions League. Because it is very clear that Barcelona is no longer strong enough like last season so their opponents can break through their goal more easily as seen in the El Classico match where Vinicius immediately managed to score a goal in the seventh minute of the match.
Barcelona's defense this season looks weaker than last season, especially based on the number of goals conceded. Barcelona has so far conceded 22 goals in its last 19 matches in La Liga, that means Barcelona is conceding an average of 1.15 per match. Player injuries and squad depth are the reasons behind Barcelona's poor defensive performance this season, but they are not the only reasons why they look weak.

Barcelona doesn't have a really good midfielder this season who can control the tempo of the game. Ilkay Gundogan, who has experience at Manchester City, doesn't seem to have made too many changes, while Pedri, who recently recovered from injury, has not fully regained his best form. De Jong, Pedri, Gundogan and are 3 good midfielders in the Barcelona squad, but they are not very reliable in all games so Xavi needs to have rotation. The problem is that Xavi doesn't have any more good midfielders apart from a few young midfielders from the La Masia academy.

I believe this is what makes it difficult for Pep when De Bruyne is injured. This is because there is no midfielder as intelligent as him. The 2nd goal against Newcastle was also proof, it wasn't hard but De Bruyne was very smart to read the goalkeeper's position. For passing, indeed he is smart enough to read the position, Oscar Bobb is also good at moving. De Bruyne's statistics with Man City are quite good, last season he made 16 assists and 7 goals.
Of course, Pep Guardiola is really having a hard time finding another player of equal quality like De Bruyne. The captain can really make a lot of difference to the team's game since he was played. He is a player who is very influential in Pep Guardiola's Manchester City game, so it's natural that Pep Guardiola felt confused when Kevin De Bruyne was injured.

Regarding assist statistics, Kevin De Bruyne has really good statistics in the last 8 seasons in the Premier League (not including this season). De Bruyne scores an average of 12.6 assists per season in the Premier League, he can also score several goals each season. The single strangest thing about De Bruyne is, he has not had a single assist in a Champions League match in the last 8 seasons including last season.

In terms of experience, the three teams have different levels of experience in the Champions League and I think there will be interesting competition between the three teams this season in the Champions League. Moreover, with the return of Kevin De Bruyne to the Manchester City squad for the remainder of this season, there will certainly be a good incentive for the Manchester City team itself to compete again with other big teams in the Champions League, especially with the two teams you have mentioned.
Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City do not have very strong opponents in the round of 16. This means that the three teams above are favorites to advance to the quarter-finals, and there they will get better competition for tickets to the semi-finals. The performance of each team in the domestic league so far is basically not the only benchmark for judging how good their chances are of qualifying for the quarter-finals. Player injuries, suspensions and players' physical fitness ahead of the match will certainly be something to pay attention to as well.

I agree that the 3 teams mentioned above are candidates who could be favorites to qualify for the final, but maybe they will meet more quickly in the next match, either in the quarter-finals or in the semi-finals, where in the end only one team will be left. There are many scenarios that will happen after the 8 best teams qualify for the quarter-finals, so we'll just have to wait and see how that happens.

The reason is that Roma at the start of the match was quite troublesome for AC Milan, but because Milan's goalkeeper performed the best in this match and Milan's defense was also compact on all fronts. So that means As Roma couldn't do much in this match, and this defeat was also a bad record for Mourinho because every time he met Pioli in 6 matches the result was that Mourinh lost 4 times, drew 2 times without a single win. .

In this match, Ac Milan player Adli also started to show his class when given the opportunity. The feeling of sadness was eased because there was no longer Tonali in Milan's midfield, but slowly Milan started to get chemistry with each other. And what I like the most is Giroud's appearance because he is always cool when he plays wherever he is, starting from Arsenal, Chelsea, and now Milan he always doesn't disappoint.
The victory over Roma is proof that Milan still has a chance in its efforts to win the title this season. Roma had to regret the result of the match even though they were actually not that bad in their game. Roma have lost a lot of points in their last 5 matches, the defeat to Milan is their 3rd defeat in the last 5 matches in Serie A.

Currently, Roma has the potential to fail to penetrate the European zone next season considering the point gap created between them and several teams above them. Napoli, Bologna, Lazio and Atalanta have better form, but of course Roma still have the opportunity to improve things and improve their performance in the rest of the season. Meanwhile, Atalanta is currently 3-0 ahead of opponents Frosinone, so they will secure another 3 points today after being held to a draw by Roma in the previous match.

Xavi has repeatedly apologized to fans for the results obtained in the Spanish Super Cup final, Barcelona is indeed in a worrying situation. Xavi has taken a big risk when integrating too many young players into the team, in fact Xavi does not have many choices to recruit more experienced players because of the financial crisis. I think Xavi has worked hard to bring his team to success, and I have to say that Madrid has all the attributes and resources needed to win trophies.

The defense line is Xavi homework going forward, conceding 4 goals is a bad defeat in a match, and that is proof that Xavi must immediately find a solution in this sector. If they continue to be in an unstable situation, it is no surprise that Barcelona ended the season without winning a trophy, the financial crisis has become an extraordinary obstacle and Xavi cannot be blamed for Barcelona failure yesterday. I think the best opportunity that Barcelona still has at the moment is the Copa del Rey, Xavi will certainly try his best there.
Xavi deserves to feel guilty for the team's unsatisfactory performance in the El Clasico match in the Spanish Super Cup final. All his plans failed and he failed to retain the throne after last season winning it from Real Madrid. But I think this makes sense because Real Madrid is more favored because of squad depth and team performance, on the other hand, Barcelona is too weak in several lines.

The Barcelona squad looked weak in yesterday's El Clasico match, because Raphinha and Joao Cancelo, who have better aggressive power, had to suffer injuries ahead of the final match. Barcelona's midfield is weak, as is their defense. Meanwhile Real Madrid have many options and they have spent a lot of money in the transfer market to win the title they didn't win last season.

The performance of Kelvin De Bruyne have become professional in decades, probably after Pep Guardiola took over the managerial affairs of Manchester City. There's alot I learnt about the club, they become consistent after Pep Guardiola worked on the team and bringing in his choice of players and not some random average players that would triggered Manchester City to decline in performance. Kelvin De Bruyne was ruled out for lengthy games due to the critical injuries he obtained in the early starts of the season and that have left the Belgium international behind though he has finally returned and have become one of the key project for Pep Guardiola in Manchester City.
Kevin De Bruyne is one of the important players in the Manchester City squad in their pursuit of much success. He is the best midfielder in the Premier League who has made a big contribution to Manchester City's achievements over the last few seasons. Of course Pep Guardiola must have felt lost and found it difficult to find a replacement option when De Bruyne was injured, but now De Bruyne is back.

Pep Guardiola has been telling people that De Bruyne is one of his best players. Even after his long injury, De Bruyne has not changed and his contribution can really influence the course of the match. Haaland will definitely get some decent support once De Bruyne returns, so I think Haaland and his goal stats will improve for the rest of the season.

PSG must be really relieved after Lens got a red card right before the end of the first half. Because they were already ahead by 1-0 thanks to Barcola's goal. Now Lens must be demoralized quite a lot. The only thing PSG need to do from now on is to open the goal gap more and secure a comfortable win. Otherwise it will still be a risky score.

Winning this game is really important as they will make the point gap with Nice eight by doing that. I don't think PSG would miss this big opportunity while Lens have literally gifted the win to them by that red card.  Grin
PSG must win this match, especially after Lens had to play with 10 players in the second half. PSG has an advantage in players that can make them superior in many ways, but so far PSG have not found a solution to penetrate Lens' strong defense. The 0-1 position has not changed even though PSG have superior statistics in building attacks, but there will probably be a few more goals before the match is over.

Considering that Nice lost and lost points in the match against Rennes, PSG will create an 8 point gap with Nice. PSG leads 8 points ahead of Nice and that is something that ensures that PSG can defend the Ligue 1 title this season. So PSG's focus must be very strong on the Champions League, especially if they want to win the title.
