In truth, they're not practising democracy. They exploit the loopholes of the structure and system and enrich themselves with it. Simply making a state a democracy won't work, there has to be a working system that should be followed. When there is a system, a trusted system, it would be difficult for a section of people to exploit the democracy.


It should bother him because whatever they do directly or indirectly affects him. No matter how hard he acts like it doesn't concern him, those decisions concern him. If a wrong person is put in power, the decisions he makes affects him.


In reality, what goes around doesn't always come around. A lot of people get a way with a lot of evil stuff.

When I analyze the Arsenal vs Bayern tie, I don't consider their history. I analyze based on the current form of how they play and how they perform in the Champions League. Based on current form, Arsenal is good, they're in a good. They play very well, hardly concede unnecessarily and they score a lot, but Bayern Munich just seems to be better. They have more experience in this kind of situation.
Bayern Munich have gotten their form back and I believe now more than ever this season, they're ready for the Champions League. They score a lot of goals too but unlike Arsenal, they're very direct.

The fixture is going to be hard for both teams but I believe Munich has the upper hand because they would hardly lose at home while the Emirate stadium is not the kind of fortress Allianz Arena is.
It's going to be a tough battle for either team to make it to the final because after playing this very difficult fixture, they'll face either Manchester City or Real Madrid next.

MicroStrategy, however big it is, is controlled by somebody which means it's centralized and which means it can be manipulated. You have no full control of your shares. Also, you'll suffer if the company makes a decision that's not favorable.
Then there's also the fact that a company can crash and you'll lose your shares.
With Bitcoin you have full control and ownership of your investment.  You can use your bitcoin as an investment and also as a currency.
For how long do you want to hold the shares? The shares might not always be up forever and there's no true guarantees that it will rise again if it goes down unlike bitcoin.
If the success of MicroStrategy is based on bitcoin, while not go straight to bitcoin instead of the shares?

I'm not saying buying the shares is wrong. It's a very advisable thing to buy their shares, but in this context, I think I'll pick bitcoin.
That is why I'll say there should be no comparison between bitcoin and shares. Theyr both different investments and not in competition. If you have the means you can have both if you want.

Trading money that you can afford to lose is bad, but what's worse is trading with money that's not yours which you'd be unable to pay back if you lose. It's just like leverage trading, but worse because here traders take money from different people to invest and give them a profit of their money. This is too risky.
It's a different thing when you lose your money, even if that loss will wreck you than losing someone else's money when you don't have enough to pay back.
This causes a lot of problems for the trader and you might even end up in court if you're not careful.

I know all the sayings of greater risk and greater rewards and all, but we need to calculate our risk properly, or else we'll find ourselves in a lot of trouble. I know people who have lost almost everything because of this.

I just checked this. Did you also edit out the opening "list" tag?
Because if a "list tag is opened, it needs to be closed and I guess editing out the closing "list" tag while the opening tag is still there automatically adds the closing tag.

Girona's recent results just go ahead to prove how much big teams have to give to remain at the top from the beginning of the season till the end, sometimes while also competing in other competitions. It takes a lot to remain at the top.
I knew it was going to be a difficult job for Girona to maintain their form till the end of the season, that was why I wanted them to put more focus on the Copa del Rey. If they had focused on the Copa dey rey they might be where Mallorca is now; in the final.

Giron will mostly not drop lower than 4th position, but with their current form, they'll struggle in Europe. The only way to avoid that is if they can reinforce well in the next transfer window and add a lot of quality depth to their squad.
This is going to be difficult considering that the FIFA FFP rule and laLaiga restrictions will limit them a lot. They are on the right path though. Building a top team is something that takes time so they don't need to rush it.

I believe the fact that the game was played in Old Trafford can be given as a strong reason Liverpool lost that game. We all know the advantage teams get from playing at home and how it is for rival teams to play in enemy territory. We may deny it all we want but that factor is always there.

I agree Liverpool played well despite playing away from home, but do you think Man United would have played that well if they were at Anfield? Playing in Old Trafford gave United an extra layer of confidence and confidence does a lot to a player. So yeah, the home advantage is a reason as to why Man United won the game.

Now, there's a pretty big chance of Manchester United getting to the final because they play Coventry next in the semis. They have a very big chance to win Coventry and get to the final and anything can happen in a final. It would mean a lot to Manchester United if they can win a trophy this season after the poor season they've had. A trophy would turn their season around.

With the way things are going, Juventus place in the top 4 is not even guaranteed. They drop too many points recently and if they don't fix that they may see themselves falling further down the table. Currently, they're only 4 points above Bologna in 3rd position while Bologna is 4th. Roma has been in good form and they're winning. If they keep up that form and Juventus don't fix up they might get overtaken by Roma. I know it it's unlikely, but very possible.

Bologna is a team that I must applaud. They have done really well this season. They deserve to be in the champions league spot so they can play champions league foot football next season.

I believe Milan are going to maintain their current 2nd position till the end of the season. Juventus and Bologna are going to fight for the third and fourth position.

I'm not really bothered about Bitcoin being legal tender. I just want it to be accepted and let me able to use it without breaking any government laws. Anybody should be allowed to accept Bitcoin in his business if he wants to. Bitcoin wasn't created to be legal tender. In this age, very few governments will openly accept Bitcoin as legal tender, it contradicts what they stand on too much. Accepting Bitcoin proves that their system is flawed.
All I just want is for the government not to fight Bitcoin even if they're against it. They shouldn't be looking for ways and propaganda against Bitcoin.

If the government allows bitcoin alone and the issue of network congestion is fixed, I believe the adoption of BTC would increase because like it or not, it is better to use bitcoin than fiat.
What matters most is the adoption, there's no point in making it legal tender if people won't use it, and people won't use it if the cost of using it is higher.


First of all, which government would own it? These people have gone to war for less things, imagine what would happen if it were possible for one government to own Bitcoin. I know they won't come together as one for the sake of owning Bitcoin.

That being said, governments can't have control over Bitcoin they don't own it, and nobody does. You can't control what you don't own. What they can do is make policies that affect people using bitcoin in that country thereby regulating it. Regulatory bodies would only do their jobs but that can't control it.

Barcelona keeping a clean sheet against Atletico Madrid in Madrid is something I didn't see coming. If they had kept a clean sheet with a 1-0 scoreline it wouldn't have been surprising, but scoring 3 is not what I expected at all.
Barcelona was so superior in that game, I guess the game against Inter took a lot from Atletico. Barcelona was so good in all aspects. They defended well, moved the ball a lot quicker and the attack was swift and decisive. That was a very good performance for Barcelona and they deserved to win.


Are you still talking about the Atletico Vs Barcelona game? Because it seems like you're talking about a different game. Wasn't it in the 90th minute that Molina got sent off? The match was already over, Barcelona were already leading 3-0 by then so i don't understand how you mean when you say Barcelona won because of the red card Atletico got. It was even Barcelona that were disadvantaged when their coach was shown a red earlier on in the match. I guess you didn't watch the game.

If it was by the most inform teams then the most in-form teams should be winning all the trophies available in the league. As good as Man City has been in recent years, they've only won one treble, meaning in other seasons, someone has knocked them out of other competitions. A team doesn't have to be on a certain standard before they knock out another team. It's a game of 90 minutes and whoever wins, progresses.
I didn't expect Manchester United to win, but they did and that means they deserve to be where they are.


As they say "one game at a time".
The Liverpool game has passed and now they'll focus on the next game. If they win, fine, if they don't win, they take their L. But games like this build confidence and trust among squads. I won't be surprised if this is the game that makes them sit up.
I can't blame Liverpool for losing, they had a lot of injuries and they also had the league and Europa to fight for. Manchester United only has the FA Cup.

This is true. Now bitcoin can be traditional just the way shares and bonds are. Big investors will put money into it. When something is accepted by big investors, it helps adoption. So now it may no longer be "that bubble" or scam to people. And the government will begin to be less strict towards it. This confirms your 3rd point that the popularity and acceptance of Bitcoin would increase.


But this, I do not agree with. I don't believe ETF would make Bitcoin less volatile. The market is still controlled by the market forces of demand and supply, so it still leaves a lot of room for volatility. Other traditional investments like gold, stock, and Forex are still volatile in their own way, so why do you think Bitcoin would be different? 

I think this happens when the network is fluctuating.

I was just wondering why Madrid's odd is as big as 7.
This is a club that has knocked out Manchester City before when Manchester City were in a better form than they are now. I get it that Manchester City should have 2 odds but Madrid winning the Champions League should be between 3-4 odds. They're always among the favourites when it comes to the Champions League.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City is an even match. They both have experienced coaches who understand what it takes to win the Champions League. I don't get why people are writing Madrid off. Man City is the safer bet, but that doesn't mean that have a big edge against City.
It's a very difficult fixture for both teams.

At the moment Real Madrid is 8 points ahead of Barcelona with 10 matches to go. There's a total of 30 points in those 10 matches, that's enough points for Barcelona to take Real Madrid if they slip up. Let the current standing not fool you, if Madrid doesn't take the league seriously now they'll lose it.
The fact that they have Man City doesn't mean they'll pay less attention to the league. Barcelona won the league last season and Madrid won't want them to win the league back to back, that would mean going 2 seasons without winning the league.

Madrid is a big team, the top 2 biggest teams in the world. They're not a team to sacrifice one trophy for the other. They want to win everything. They'll take the league as seriously as the Champions League and if you think winning the league is not difficult for Madrid then you have not been paying attention.

Not to be that guy, big I blame the voters for this. Most of the time it's very easy to see through these politicians when they're making these promises but the voters refuse to use their heads, they've refused to be critical. You can't just vote for a politician because he said he was going to do this or that. You look at his history, what has he done, and what has he achieved in his previous positions.
Very few politicians can completely hide who they are when campaigning. Voters don't ask the right questions, especially in underdeveloped countries.

Until people learn to not be easily deceived they'll always vote for bad politicians. You a politician who has a track record of corruption and mismanagement of public funds promise voters heaven and earth and they'll fall for it. How can you fall for that?
It's always crystal clear the kind of politician they are, but somehow people don't see it.

The match between PSG and Barcelona is a 50/50 match to me. I don't think any team has a very big edge over the other. Mbappe is the only difference between both teams but Barcelona in recent games has improved a lot. They have a squad that can win PSG. I believe that the match will be determined by the coaches. Whichever coach is more tactical throughout the match wins it. There's also the luck factor. We all know how football can be. One team can get a red card or a penalty and that can turn the whole time around.
What I know is that it's an interesting fixture but my money is on Barcelona.



This is the third season in a row that these two teams are meeting each other and whoever wins the tie always wins the competition. I don't know how it would be this season but the winner of this tie has a bigger chance of getting to the final.
The Champions League has always been an interesting competition and this one isn't disappointing.

Of course, I agree. It's not rocket science. A good leader brings political stability and political stability is like a gravity to investors if there's a market in the area. A good leader provides what is needed for a business to thrive. In a capitalist state, all the government has to do is create an environment where people can do business.

Good leadershcreatesate jobs and makes sure all sectors of the economy work well, it doesn't have to be perfect, but it'll work justly. Good jobs mean more money in the accounts of the citizens and since there's good governance, inflation would be reduced so it means they have more purchasing power for the people.
In my opinion, every country has what it takes to make life easier for its citizens, all they need is good and competent leaders who are ready to work for the country and not themselves.

Funny enough, a leader doesn't need to be an economist to make the economy of the country better. All they need is to understand how an economy works and know how to lead. They can hire the right people in strategic positions that would pilot the affairs of the state in different departments.

There's nothing "luck" about getting profit by holding BTC. Holding BTC is one of the hardest things to do. You've explained how difficult it is to hold Bitcoin because of how volatile Bitcoin is. Bitcoin is at $70k right now and it can go down to as low as $20k. Do you know how difficult it is to keep holding when you see the value of your Bitcoin reducing, especially after you bought it at a high price? It takes a lot of things to make a profit from Bitcoin holding, luck is not one of them. 


I believe in Bitcoin because I have studied its history and I am very convinced that Bitcoin will always go back up after it dips. It might only take a long time, but I know that if I am patient enough I'll get my profit.


For as long as I'm alive. Right now I'm just waiting for the next dip so I can buy again and hold.

I agree with you on this. I don't think Arsenal will win the league. I think it's going to be between Man City and Liverpool.
Arsenal plays very good football but I don't think they're are good as their fans make them to seem. Arsenal is not a team that is so good to an extent that people will believe they can walk through any team so easily.
Some kinds of teams give Arsenal problems to break their defense. Winning this league is going to be very difficult for Arsenal to be honest.


I kind of disagree with this. Every player needs a good coach to reach his highest potential, no matter how good the player is. Even Leo Messi needs a good coach before he can play his best football.
Most of the players in Manchester City struggle with other teams. Even if they don't struggle, they are not are good as they were in Manchester City. That shows how Pep makes his players better. De Bruyne is a top-class player, but he won't be this good if Pep doesn't make him better.
