You know what impressed me the most? It is not that one game that Copenhagen has played so well in the Champions League group. Every bad team could have a great and lucky day. What impressed me so much about Copenhagen is that they played four great games in the group, could have tied the game against Bayern Munich, could have won the game away from home against Galatasaray, won the game against Manchester United and lost the other game with only one goal in England. This is what made me think twice about this team and how I underestimated them. I thought that this is going to be an easy group for Manchester United and Bayern Munich, but seriously this was a tough group for them and Manchester United will probably fail to pass it.
Man United position in the Champion League is quite pressed, like it or not, Copenhagen and Galatasaray have shown how their enthusiasm can change the mentality of their players on the field. Man United potential to qualify is very thin, even if it has to fall once it deserves to be obtained as a form of lesson where mental readiness, stable players and most importantly qualified coaches will be complementary. Galatasaray and Copenhagen may not have top players like Man United but when on the field teamwork, getting rid of each other's egos creates a more manageable match path.
Regarding teamwork, Copenhagen and Galatasaray are more solid than Manchester United. I admit that currently Ten Hag has quality players in his squad, because the players are not connected well making Manchester United game directionless. Now Manchester United is under pressure, they have to fight to get a ticket to the last 16 in the remaining two matches.

Galatasaray also has the same desires as Manchester United, they certainly will not allow them to lose points when playing at home against Manchester United. If you look back a little at when Manchester United were defeated by Copenhagen, it is very unlikely that Manchester United could get points at the Galatasaray base.

Although there are many similarities between gambling addiction and drug addiction, there are some significant differences between drugs and gambling. Gambling addiction is a progressive disorder that causes a persistent or periodic loss of control over gambling to the point of wanting to continue gambling despite adverse consequences. Meanwhile, drug addiction is based more on the user's behavior than on addiction. Drug addiction can be categorized as a disease, the reason is because it is very difficult to stop using drugs even though there are bad effects it causes. More simply, when someone is addicted to drugs continuously, it can cause serious health problems and even death.

Treatment for this addiction is also very different, gambling problems focus more on assessing financial problems, and can be overcome by reducing access to cash. Meanwhile drug addiction treatment relies more on residential services which involve rehabilitation including medical treatment due to experiencing drug withdrawal symptoms such as feeling physically ill when not using them.

Bitcoin has a clear track record of showing the ability to withstand market crashes, Bitcoin has better investment fundamentals than most other altcoins.
There is no hesitation in calling Bitcoin the King of Cryptocurrencies because:

1. Only 21 million Bitcoins exist, so interest is always high compared to other coins.
2. Bitcoin was the first Cryptocurrency created and received widespread recognition.
3. Bitcoin consistently maintains the largest market capitalization and trading volume compared to other Cryptocurrencies.
4. Bitcoin has gained significant recognition and has become synonymous with Cryptocurrencies in general.
5. Bitcoin has been adopted in various parts of the world and is starting to be accepted by businesses, traders and individuals.
6. Bitcoin has become the most purchased, stored and traded cryptocurrency on the market.

It would not be wrong to call it king because its status is very clear, Bitcoin is the only fully decentralized and most popular cryptocurrency to date.

Michel as Girona's coach deserves to be appreciated because since coaching this club, Girona has continued to improve, precisely when Girona returned to competing in La Liga last season, but their consistency is still questionable whether they will remain like this until the end of the season, because this season is still long and Girona is still have to face the remaining 25 matches in La Liga, if you compare Real Madrid, in my opinion Real Madrid is superior in terms of experience and in terms of players, so according to my speculation, the candidate to win the La Liga title still falls between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Girona may be in 3rd position big if they don't experience a decline.
This will be Girona biggest challenge, that competing in the tough La Liga competition is not just difficult at the start, they are required to be consistent. The long journey will definitely be very tiring for Girona's players, so it is not surprising if at the end of the season they fail to maintain their top position in the standings. Madrid and Barcelona know how to deal with things like this where their strengths are prepared for important matches and towards the end of the season. Meanwhile, Girona stepped on the gas from the start of the season and this would have fatal consequences if they stumbled in the middle of the journey because they ran out of energy.
For years Atletico Madrid has tried to undermine the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, but in fact Diego Simeone's team has always had difficulties with these two giants. Now Girona is trying what Atletico Madrid has been doing, so far Girona is still able to do it perfectly. The competition is still very long, so Girona needs to maintain their best performance consistently, but as has been experienced by Atletico Madrid, there are obstacles when the competition is almost over.
I think Girona is lucky in distributing the match schedule, if they were matched against big teams at the start of the competition, they would lose a lot of points as they experienced when they faced Real Madrid a few weeks ago.

Unless they have injury problems in the squad, they are not going to perform badly. If the players are healthy, they are going to continue performing well till the end of the season. Even if they do not win the Bundesliga title, they are going to finish in the second position of the table. And honestly, I'm not going to be surprised if they actually end up winning the Bundesliga title. Right now, it seems doable for them. They are also going to perform well in the other competitions as well. They just have to follow the plan and not get ahead of themselves.

It is not the time yet to talk about what Bayer Leverkusen will achieve. The "if" is still very big here. In the Europa League I think everyone who remembers the games against Roma knows that they should have easily won against Roma, if it wasn't for Mourinho's defensive tactics to prevail and be lucky in the end and win that semifinal. This year Leverkusen plays even better and that is why they definitely belong to the top group in the Europa League competition.
The only reason Leverkusen is among the top teams in the Europa League competition is because of their consistent performance in the Bundesliga and Europa League. Obviously, they played better than last season, due to their good performance they were able to dominate the Bundesliga League standings and qualify for the last 16 of the Europa League as group winners. Leverkusen is not the only elite team in this competition, Liverpool also has the opportunity to be at the forefront. Other teams that are eliminated from the UCL can also provide competition, I think it's too quick to make predictions about who will ultimately become champions because the competition has not yet entered the semifinals or finals.

Well, I think we all know very well that Pep Guardiola has made a good system in the Manchester City squad. So he is not going to go away from the club before experiencing the success that he envisioned. And there is going to be a lot of talk all around the media if Pep Guardiola does decide to be the coach of Manchester United. Of course, I don't think that is happening any time soon, even if it does happen. And I will say that Ten Hag is doing absolutely trash job as the coach,  Manchester United didn’t like him from the start. And of course, still don’t like him now.
Now Pep Guardiola is enjoying the results of his hard work so far, he has devoted all his thoughts and energy to making Manchester City what it is now. It is very unlikely that he will just leave when Manchester City is at a high level, he will stay to win more titles with the squad that has been painstakingly built.

If Manchester United tries to persuade Guardiola with the offer of a high salary and all the facilities, it doesn't mean anything to him because he already got everything with Manchester City. Now he is reaping the rewards of his hard work so far, he also doesn't want to be the figure most hated by Manchester City fans because he went to Manchester United. Manchester United continues to get bad results due to Ten Hag's inability to manage the club. Manchester United is taking steps to find the right coach to handle Manchester United, but I'm sure Pep Guardiola is not the person.

This is the reason merit will be given to every quality post, you will be rewarded with Merit if the post you write is considered quality. The merit system is implemented in forum to eradicate trash posts that only pursue quantity of activity to reach new rank. In the past, before the merit system was implemented in forums, there were lots of trash posts spread across various boards. Now what happens after the merit system is implemented, without trying to abandon the old habit of often making trash posts to quality posts, then you will have difficulty rank up.

Quality posts will help build the reputation of your account in the forum, when the knowledge you have is poured into the forum to benefit other users, you will be rewarded with merit and will help yourself in achieving the highest rank. Here you have to rely on yourself, only you can determine which direction to take, whether you want to immediately reach a new rank or remain a newbie forever.

What are you waiting for, it is time to learn something that can benefit you in the future. We are still young, we don't have the responsibilities of people who are married and have children.
Take advantage of your young age to learn something new that can be used as capital to earn income. You are very lucky, because when you are young Cryptocurrency is growing, if you waste time at a young age, you will regret it when you are old.
Maybe that's what I would say to myself to motivate myself to be more serious about learning about Bitcoin and other crypto assets.

I will apply the study strategy slowly to get the best results, the fastest study system will probably lead me to some mistakes that I don't realize. It doesn't need to be too fast or in other words like a premature one that develops before its time. Learn gradually, you will achieve the best results.

2023/24 La Liga season has been quite an entertainment so far. Girona is leading the league race for this season up until now. but, will Girona end the year on top? After 13 matches, Girona is 2 points ahead at the top, with Real Madrid and Barcelona close behind. Barcelona, aiming to defend their title, unfortunately hasn't had the best performances this season. while, Atletico and Real Madrid, their closest challengers, have been pretty convincing so far. Girona is having their best season yet, but some tough games are coming up for this season dark horse. Can they go all the way against the big boys? Exciting times ahead in La Liga!
Girona current position is the same as Arsenal in the Premier League last season. I am a little pessimistic about Girona consistency because they are competing with big teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Yes, Girona are having a great season, but their chances of winning the title race are slim. The defeat to Real Madrid explains why Girona will have difficulty in the title race as they have yet to face Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Bilbao. Girona toughness will be tested when facing these teams, if they are able to perform consistently as shown in the last 13 matches, Girona has the potential to make new history in La Liga.
350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Luck and skill, which is more important for gambling success? on: November 16, 2023, 03:09:53 PM
I have the believe that success in gambling requires a mixture of luck and skill. This is opposed to some people that believe that gambling is entirely a game of luck and others who believe it is entirely a game of skill.

So I am tempted to inquire if skill is all that is needed to be successful in gambling or luck. Whichever be the option, which of them is the most important factor for gambling success?
Luck and skill have different paths in gambling. Luck can come to anyone and at any time for every gambler, usually gamblers hope for luck such as getting a jackpot while fighting the system (slot machine). Meanwhile, gamblers who play against players, such as playing Texas Holdem (poker) or other types of cards played by more than one person, rely more on skill than luck. These two elements have different places in gambling, but are very necessary to win according to your goals.
351  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen to bitcoin price if Solar superstorm 'wipe out the internet'? on: November 16, 2023, 02:51:46 PM
While browsing through social media, I came across an article that mentioned Solar superstorms could 'wipe out the internet' for weeks or months, scientist says. Will the loss of internet connectivity for weeks or months affect the value of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin? What will be the outcome?

Source: https://www.foxweather.com/earth-space/solar-storm-wipe-out-internet
The internet is the most important aspect in Bitcoin transactions, bitcoin transaction data will be sent to miners who need devices with internet support. So without internet access, you cannot buy/sell or exchange bitcoins. If the internet stops working for weeks or months it can be detrimental to Bitcoin miners, exchanges and traders.
Disconnection of internet access can also affect the public's trust in Bitcoin as a store of value and a means of exchange that they have been relying on, lacking the level of trust because they cannot carry out transactions comfortably. As public confidence in Bitcoin declines, the consequences could significantly impact its value.

If it would have been this easy then everyone would be rich by now. Many people know about the 4 year cycle but fail to buy and sell at the right time.
The 4 year cycle would have worked in the past but it does not guarantee that the same would happen in the future.
Although I beleive that bitcoin will break it's ATH again but I don't know if it's gonna happen in 2025 or earlier/later.
I just beleive it will happen and keep happening but the timelines cannot be predicted accurately.
Based on past history, the four year cycle has always provided excitement for investors who are able to hold Bitcoin or who buy when prices are cheap. It should be emphasized that there is no right time to buy Bitcoin because the price continues to fluctuate. Indeed, there is no guarantee that this will happen in the future, because something that has not happened is very difficult to predict with certainty.
The increasingly widespread adoption of Bitcoin means that demand in the market will continue to increase, even though there are negative issues deliberately created by parties who are not happy with the presence of Bitcoin, but it will not make Bitcoin collapse because the level of public interest in Bitcoin is increasing.
Many people assume this, but every time the four-year cycle occurs, some people feel regret because they didn't have time to buy when the price was cheap.
353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: November 15, 2023, 03:01:52 PM
My prediction is more of between Manchester City and Real Madrid. I see Real Madrid with the chance of winning the UEFA champions league then Manchester City comes second. The only issue I am having with Real Madrid is the need for Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo to make more goals than they do. They have to take up the challenge strongly as they have the chance to do so but they must work exta miles to achieve that.
I have the same prediction for favorite UEFA Champion League winner in this season between Manchester City or Real Madrid despite have many other teams such as Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Barcelona. Both favorite teams above have impressive performance in domestic league and consistent in the winning trend will make their opportunity for winning UEFA Champion League looks easily without have hard working keep focus in domestic league.

Man City and Real Madrid are teams have solid composition right now, most of their regular players not injured and easily for Man City keep defending their Champion League tittles, so far both teams have guarantee their position in 16th round and waiting to be first standings or runner up position.
Manchester City and Real Madrid have always been able to dominate their opponents so far, but you should not exclude Bayern Munich. This season, Bayern Munich is starting to perform better compared to last season, since Kane presence in the squad, Bayern Munich has found it easier to win. Real Madrid is always the favorite because of its status as the team that has won the most UCL trophies, but I still doubt Real Madrid quality this season. I'm still waiting for the moment of Real Madrid versus other big teams to draw conclusions, while Manchester City is no longer in doubt, let alone its status as defending champion.

What percentage of bitcoin investors are gamblers ?  Where will this figure be if we consider worldwide users ? I think it will be somewhere between 10-20% ? Also, it is possible that most of gamblers are still not bitcoin investors ? I see  less chances of the later happening.
The majority of Cryptocurrency or especially Bitcoin users have gambled with their crypto assets, those who are paid using Bitcoin through promoted sites have kept their assets for gambling. There is no definite number to answer this question, I prefer to call it "majority" rather than guessing a number that is difficult to say without valid data. Most Bitcoin investors have gambled, but the number is fewer than active gamblers who are not yet familiar with Bitcoin.

I just want to know if you're a god or a ghost.

If You're God, I'd buy a lot of bitcoins right now and wait for money to fall from the sky.
If you're a ghost, I'll sell bitcoins now and wait for a cheap bitcoin (say, $2,000) to buy.

But who can tell me, are you God or ghost.
Op is just an ordinary person like you and most other users on the forum. Op tried to share a chart or the four-year cycle experienced by Bitcoin, no one can determine where Bitcoin will go next because the price is very volatile. Price changes are very fast because they are triggered by market sentiment, so at any given time the market price may be much higher and fall to its lowest point. So, if you still doubt the Bitcoin price movement cycle that occurs every four years like the chart in Op, you can ignore it and wait until the ship leaves while you don't load anything on it.

You can learn things related to forums and Bitcoin in your local area (Nigeria), I'm sure there is already a thread there that discusses rules that should not be violated in forums and all aspects that can educate newbies about Bitcoin. Here you have been directed to several threads that can broaden your insight about the forum and Bitcoin. Please take the time to read several important threads to speed up your process in adapting to the forum and understanding Bitcoin.

The word "start" is easy to say but difficult to carry out. For some people who are still unsure about their abilities or have limited knowledge in one field, it will be difficult to achieve success because they still have a fear of failure. In fact, every failure will shape your character to become better and try to learn from failure to achieve success. It is difficult to make what you want come true because of negative thoughts such as fear of failure or not being able to adapt to the surrounding environment, even though these are all just hallucinations that can weaken a person's character.

As experienced by newbies who join the forum, there are some of them who are able to adapt and succeed in achieving high rank. there are also those who stop after a while of starting because of the constant hallucinations in their minds which can weaken their initial intention to become established members in the forum. Every step taken requires a process, only people who are able to overcome all difficulties by adding insight will survive and be able to achieve success.

The tricks carried out by fraudsters on this website are very tempting for beginners who are just making Cryptocurrency transactions, they will think that 0.2 BTC is theirs after successfully registering on the website. Fortunately, you are already familiar with Cryptocurrency and really understand this type of trick.
Nothing is free, let alone the figure reaching 0.2 BTC, of course they will ask potential victims to deposit a certain amount of BTC to claim the BTC on the website. You can guess where this leads, in the end they ask for a deposit first so they can transfer the BTC. Always avoid this type of fraud, lucky members who join the forum have received this information. I can't imagine how many people have become victims out there.

What business do you mean? If the buying and selling business you are running requires large capital to maintain both. But if you provide services to other people such as creating works of art, servicing and car rental services or other rental services, you can maintain Bitcoin without having to disrupt business. You don't need to rush to achieve success, everything takes time and process. What you need now is to run a business consistently to make it easier for you to collect little by little capital to expand your business and collect a certain amount of Bitcoin.
360  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is it difficult for people to get capital easily? on: November 14, 2023, 02:03:33 PM
The main problem you are facing right now is your emotional bond with your family. Apart from having to pay for your own needs, you also have to pay for your family's needs. As long as your income does not increase, it will be difficult for you to get capital to achieve the dreams you have always aspired to.
You cannot ignore them because the success you are achieving now is due to their support and economic assistance. This condition might change someday when you need their help, family is the first person who always puts us first. Try to find friends or relatives who you can invite to start the business you dream of, this way it might speed up the process rather than having to wait for enough personal capital to start a business.
