Which country are you from? I was quite surprised to see that real estate and housing in your country are quite cheap compared to my country. I am also planning to buy land and build a house in 2025 when I will sell my bitcoin and crypto assets when they hit my target. But the price I have to pay will be much higher than yours and that is the reason why I still cannot realize this dream of mine. To be able to own a house including real estate, it costs me more than 100 thousand and that's why I don't want to sell my investment soon. Currently I have enough ability to realize my dream, but if I do so I will have no capital to continue investing so I decided to wait a little longer. I hope to soon achieve my dream so that my wife and children can have a real house to live in.

In my opinion, if we are a trader, paying attention to news and macro events is extremely necessary. If we are long-term investors, I don't think this news is necessary because it only shows the short-term impact. In the long term, bitcoin has almost only one main trend: up and only up.

In addition, I don't trust news or events too much, I think everything is just being used by market makers to manipulate our psychology. They use news, FUD, events... to manipulate psychology and legitimize their manipulation in the market.

Invest in bitcoin and if we always pay too much attention to these things, we can easily fall into the traps of market makers because they will always find ways to make us sell bitcoin at cheap prices. As a bitcoin investor, I think we should just focus on holding and only sell when we reach our goals, and we should ignore everything that is spreading in the market.

Many people only look at bitcoin supply and price to make paranoid predictions, and they never think about bitcoin's capitalization. It took gold more than a hundred years to reach a capitalization of 15 trillion, and the stock market is the world's largest financial market with a total capitalization of more than 90 trillion. It is an illusion that many people think that an asset that is not widely popular or has not yet been accepted worldwide can reach a capitalization of 18 trillion USD. You're right, it's not going to happen anytime soon and at least in our generation, it's not likely to happen.

@Plaguedeath This is going to be a competitive match in the Europa League in my opinion. Both of the teams would definitely like to win this match. But the other thing is, both of them also have to concentrate on their domestic league. Liverpool has to give a lot more importance to the English Premier League. Because they have a real chance to win the English Premier League title. the competition is very high though. so I don’t know if Liverpool will actually be able to concentrate too much in this Europa League competition. Let’s be honest the competition of the Europa League is not as glorifying as the English Premier League at this moment. So I expect Klopp will rotate some players for next match against Atalanta, and keep the core team as strong as possible for the Premier League.

This was a result that I genuinely did not expect. I have point out is that the goalkeeping from both the teams were really bad. well not only the goalkeeping. The defense from both teams were also equally bad in my opinion. They were unable to defend worth anything. Every time any attacking player was approaching the final third, it looked like it was going to be another goal scored. Because the defense kept backing up and backing up. And for both teams the attackers actually got free space. Massive win for empoli. I think they will have a very good chance to stay away from the relegation zone. after so many losses this was really good result for them.

If I talk about Torino, it is really badluck to conceded 3 goal to a team who has not any win last 4 games. Juric could have played Vojvoda, Sazonov or Lovato in Tameze's place role, I mean right back position. Juric needs to rotate some players to keep their position standard.

I personally think that it would have been better for Liverpool to actually go for some other coach. To be honest I thought they were going to go for Xabi Alonso. But just because they are meeting someone doesn’t mean the deal is done. I just hope that Liverpool will make sure that the next coach will be able to bring as much success as they had with Jurgen Klopp if not more. And I doubt very much that he will actually be able to bring that success for Liverpool. Alonso is probably a perfect replacement. But of course, it is not as easy as it sounds. Alonso is probably dreaming of managing Real Madrid and that's why he might stay another season in Leverkusen.

Yes, I know we are on the speculation board and people feel free to make their delusional predictions, bitcoin reach 1 million, 10 million or 100 million in the future. But what I want to say is that we should be a little more realistic and slow down a bit, enjoy what we have instead of dreaming too much. Because sometimes we set our expectations too high but then things don't turn out as we expected, we will be filled with frustration and feel like everything is falling apart. We are investing with our own money so don't let illusions cause us to lose money or lose profits that we could have had.

Bitcoin gives us transparency about transactions, but let's not forget that it also gives us a certain privacy (anonymity). And that's why the government has difficulty tracking down and apprehending criminals using bitcoin.

Being transparent does not mean it will be easy for us to get our assets back if we are scammed or hacked. To date, there have been millions of bitcoin hacks and cases of people being scammed related to bitcoin and cryptocurrency. But how many cases have been resolved? As far as I know, not much because tracking data on blockchain is not as easy as we imagine.

Did you not read my post? I also said that LSG won this match only because of their brilliant bowling. If the bowlers don't perform well, LSG won't be able to win this match. Because on this pitch it was a very difficult task to win by giving a target of only 164 runs. However, LSG won the match by a huge margin of 33 runs.

Gujarat's batting order is one of the strongest batting order among the teams in this year's IPL. Sai Sudarshan, Gill, Williamson, Vijay, Rahul and Rashid Khan are all experienced batsmen for the T20 format. LSG bowlers bowled brilliantly against such experienced batsmen. Their bowling was very controlled. This is why the batting of Gujarat batsmen was very slow from the beginning of the innings.

I would say the turning point of this match was Krunal Pandya's ninth over. In this over Krunal pandya took 2 wickets giving only 3 runs. And even after this over, the Gujarat batsmen were under more pressure.

The main reason for LSG's win was Yash Thakur and Krunal Pandya's excellent bowling. Yash Thakur took 5 wickets. Also Krunal's superb controlled bowling put Gujarat batsmen under a lot of pressure and lost the match. Krunal took only three wickets. But he gave only 11 runs in 4 overs. Yash took 5 wickets with 30 runs in 3.5 overs.

After giving LSG a target of 164 I don't think LSG can win this match. Moreover, Gujarat's two overs started well enough. Every batsman in Gujarat's squad is very experienced. Even then, the Gujarat team lost the match by 33 runs. I expected better batting from Gujarat players.

Liverpool are very unlucky. I have nothing else to say except this. In the first half we only saw the dominance of Liverpool players. Liverpool players created many attacking opportunities. But the team managed to score only one goal. On the other hand, in the first half, Manchester United's players did not make any attempt to attack. Liverpool was leading 1-0 at the end of the first half.

Manchester United changed their game strategy in the second half. Bruno's goal in less than 50 minutes equalized the match. And the players of Manchester United started playing attacking strategy. Mainoo's goal in the 67th minute gave Manchester United a 2-1 lead. And 6 minutes left for the match to end. I don't think Liverpool players can score two goals in these 6 minutes. But I still think Liverpool will not lose against Manchester United today.

Frankly speaking, the fact that bitcoin can reach 1 million USD or more is just our prediction and expectation, we have no guarantee that it will happen whether it is 10 years or 20 years later.

It is true that bitcoin is becoming a new trend and receiving a lot of attention from people around the world, but let's not ignore the scenario that in the coming years there will be a better currency than bitcoin created and it will surpass bitcoin. So what we should do is enjoy the present moments, don't think too much about things that haven't happened in the distant future. My immediate goal is to still take profits in the upcoming bull season and I will base my next plans on the market situation.

Listening to the two of you talk, I imagine that escaping poverty seems too easy and not at all difficult as many people think. But have you ever wondered why there are still so many poor people in the world? By the way, let me ask, for poor people who cannot even afford to buy main family meals, how will they save and invest? In many poor countries, people don't even have jobs because of government corruption, so how will they save and invest? Not everyone is as lucky as us to be protected by our parents, fully educated, have the opportunity to access the internet... there are many tragic situations that we have never witnessed. If you are not in that situation, how can you understand what they are going through?

I agree that there are also irresponsible spenders like the OP is talking about in our society . But I don't agree with OP being so quick to judge someone when he just happened to meet them at a restaurant . How does OP know if the other person is a waste or a worthless person ? I also don't rule out the possibility that he has been working hard for a long time and what he did was just want to take some time to enjoy life after a series of hard days .

@OP , it's funny how we always think we're good people when we try to save money, don't spend wastefully , and quickly underestimate others just because we see them wasting money .

Are you sure about what you say? Do you mean if someone gets scammed or has their cryptocurrency stolen, you can report it to the police and easily get your assets back? So why do criminals use bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies to trade without being detected by the government? Why can't anyone get their money back after being scammed or having their bitcoins stolen? Why do people who transfer the wrong wallet address have no way to get their bitcoins back even if they report it to the authorities?

If you transfer bitcoins to me now and I challenge you to find a way to get your bitcoins back even if you report it to the FBI or any government agency you trust.

I actually don't know how to feel about this match. Because even though if we look at the last 5 matches it looks like Roma has been far better compared to Lazio, I have to say that Roma should have got three points from the last match that they played against Lecce. So that is something which is not going to give Roma a lot of confidence, to be honest.

And on the other hand, Lazio has been showing good performance in the last two matches. Even though the previous three matches they have lost. So I guess all paper it still looks like is going to be a win for Roma. But I am not going to be surprised if this match ends in a draw as well for Roma. But it is very important for Roma to win this match. Otherwise, Atalanta is definitely going to overtake them on the table.

But I want you this, are you using centralized exchanges to buy and sell bitcoin? Do you use a bank or fiat for your bitcoin transactions? Bitcoin is a decentralized and privacy-preserving currency, but the irony is that to own bitcoin, we need to use banks, fiat , and centralized services. So are we truly anonymous or is our privacy 100% guaranteed when we own bitcoin?

Bitcoin is decentralized but that doesn't mean the people who use or own it will be the ones who can guarantee their privacy, it all depends on how we use them .

As far as I know, Linux is an open source operating system but using them is quite complicated, unlike Windows or Mac. Aand I have been using Windows computers for over 10 years, and so far, I have never had any problems with bitcoins being hacked or any security related issues. So in my opinion, a strong PC is a computer you use properly, using genuine software...It's not true that if you use Linux you're safe, and anyone using Windows or Mac is at risk.

As an investor, normal user, I think VPN, or Google service is enough, unless you are a criminal or doing illegal work then you need high privacy protection and use tools like Tor.

Yes, it is difficult to predict what bitcoin will do after the halving, it could be dumped the same way market makers did when the ETF was approved . I remember when the news that the ETF was approved by the SEC was released, everyone was excited and waiting for a crazy price rally with that news. But suddenly bitcoin was dumped and people became disappointed, and while everyone was disappointed bitcoin suddenly pumped up. I believe that scenario will be used again as the halving approaches , but in the long term, I am still waiting for a big bull season later this year and into 2025 .

Most people think that LN is not a failure, but to me, something that has been around for a long time but is still not widely used is a failure. Until now, not many investors know and appreciate it, they are not even interested in it. If that's not failure, then what is?

In addition, talking about the development of L2 on the bitcoin blockchain, I think in the near future we will have more choices and LN is no longer the only choice. Many L2 projects are being invested by large funds and preparing to launch mainnet during this bull season. Let's wait and see which solution will be chosen and used by everyone.
