what you say is true, and also very strategically correct
your technical contribution and your analysis are very intelligent
however what is missing in this trio is a strong synergy, individually they are very strong but together?
Not always great champions manage to do well together, if they succeed they become unstoppable
Sometimes you do not need all three of them to be great together. We all know Neymar and Messi played together and if the two of them play a great game together where Mbappe is bad, then it will be fine and they could still score together, they could have a great play. We also know that Neymar and Mbappe have been playing together for a while as well, and they do have some chemistry which means that the two of them could play great and if Messi is not then it would be fine.

So, if 2 out of 3 plays amazing, they will be better than whatever Real Madrid throws at them, and they can win the game very easily. What the problem really is all about, is the fact that all three could play differently in an individual way and it could be very bad for the team. At least two of them need to work together and find a way to actually connect.

Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney were the best options.  However, because Wayne Rooney did not want to come, the option was singled out.  Lampard has a great football background.  Moreover, he also served at Chelsea for a while.  He will be a great coach for mid-range Everton to pass on his experience.  I'm already curious about Frank Lampard's Everton performance.  Maybe if he achieves a more successful technical career, he can return to Chelsea, where he is a legend, as a Coach.
I still can't believe that these two are the names that comes to mind when there are other managers. First of all, when did we stop taking managers out of clubs? That used to be a thing, managers would be managing a team, and much better team would just come up with a 2x better offer and also would pay for the compensation to other club and then get it. Look at what happened with Xavi, dude was managing another team and he was taken from there.

So to say that it would be just Lampard or Rooney because other managers are already managing a team doesn't make sense to me. Get Mourinho while you are at it, Roma is not a bad Qatar team of course but Everton could still both pay more than Roma could AND also pay Roma to let him leave at the same time, not like Roma is doing marvellous neither. I just don't get it, it should be easy to pick anyone from other leagues aside from few top name coaches, why limit to lampard and rooney?

Harry Kane has scored 23 goals in 35 appearances for the entire previous season, as well as being in Son and form. Tottenham's performance was good due to the remarkable performance of this pair of them. But Kane and Son have not been in rhythm since the start of the season. Kane has scored only 5 goals in 19 matches. Since the team relies heavily on these two players to score goals, Tottenham's overall performance has not been satisfactory. Tottenham need attacking midfielder now.
I would guess that the whole talk about him leaving and being sold already etc etc got to him and that is why he is not really happy with the club. Either he wanted to get sold and play somewhere better and he is upset that it didn't happen, or he is upset that he was even considered to be sold when he has been such a crucial part of the club. Either way, he is not happy with what he got and that is the main reason why we got to see him play this bad. Son is a great player but he didn't have that connection anymore since Kane was offline, so all by himself he couldn't do much, he is a good player but he is a maestro at first and if he doesn't see anyone then he can't do anything neither.

if we do look at it from that perspective then yes the results were not that bad.

16 times - 50 satoshis
11 times - 50 RP
23 times - Lottery tickets

Although I received lottery tickets most of the time but cumulative result of satoshis and RP results with more than 50% which is still good.
But I really wish that freebitco.in decides to reconsider their decision or at least increase the chances of winning more than base rewards.
That is not too bad, you got 800 satoshi, and 550 rp which is (if you reach 100k total) basically 550 satoshi as well. So a combined of 1350 satoshi out of 50 wheels. That is not too bad, I mean obviously you are not going to get life changing amount from this, it is just a wheel and obviously people will not get too much out of it, this is a free stuff. Comparing this to the fact that you could claim the faucet as well for free stuff, this one is quicker and pays a lot better.

You could get more than 24 wheels a day as well if you have enough fun tokens and hold it long enough right? So this is basically just a better faucet if you look at it that way then you would not be bothered with the results, some people (not saying you) think that they should be making a good income from this and see it as gambling but we are not putting up anything for it.
3405  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is $34k the bottom?? on: January 28, 2022, 06:59:52 PM
but if you look the other way and the worst is of course $20k can still happen because indeed if you look at the last few years especially 2018 they fell quite a lot and this could happen to such a decline. Even though we have to be optimistic that they will return, we still have to pay close attention to the worst possibility too
Even during that period the drop wasn't that steep right away. The real drop in 2018 happened during early period, from December to before summer, price dropped from 20k to around 6-7k prices, and that was it.

When we reached under 4k was during October or November of 2018 if I am not wrong and that happened because BCH and BSV had a fight, Craig Wright wanted to take over BCH and that is why he sold thousands of bitcoins all at once to buy for miners and he still lost but that dropped the price. Now we do not have anything like that, which means that we are not doing that badly, the initial 20k to 6-7k type of drop already happened, and I am not expecting it to go to all the way down to 20k.
This is something people do not even care about anymore. If people could have realized that the drop was because of a feud between few bitcoin rich people, then they would know that they would not see something like that again (probably). Because at the end of the day, we are talking about something that is dangerously rare and yet people act accordingly.

Everyone calculates the drop from 20k to 3k but the reality is that the drop was from 20k to 6-7k level like you said, and it even looked like it was about to go parabolic because all the charts showed it and yet because of one idiot rich person it dropped down even more and it took us a year or so before it recovered.

According to rumors, the tests in Bahrain (the second session of the test) will not be TV-covered!

Don't know if it s a final decision but it will be a shame if it will be in this way.


The 1st session in Barcelona should be under F1 TV.
Is there a reason for it? I mean it is not like we have 500+ races a year, it is not like football, we have so few f1 races anyway, and to not be televised for the test run would be a bit of disappointment for sure. I know that is not a race, it is test run, and that is why it is not as important but that usually gives us a chance to look at which teams look good or not. Mercedes had a horrible test run last season and yet they still managed to win the constructors last season so test runs are not even that important.

However... it is just fun to watch you know? I hope they backtrack it, or there would be some illegal streams somewhere that we could watch but if it is not televised then how could it be illegally streamed neither (hoping maybe it was given to some Bahrain tv rights thing). In any case, I can't wait for the off-season to be over.
3407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 28, 2022, 04:58:31 PM
in this race for the transfer it was clear that the chances of city winning and being the club that will stay with Haaland are greater than other clubs like real madrid although I think that Haaland should go to real madrid because in spain he would develop more in relation to being in the city. because city's style of soccer doesn't seem to fit Haaland style of play
It's a difficult choice for Haaland to decide on. It may be beneficial for him to play for Real Madrid, but this player will be very successful no matter which team he goes to.
He is still a young player who can improve himself in every aspect. That's why every team he plays will add a lot to him.
I hope we watch him as an important player in a team that can win the champions league at a young age. I'm worried about Haaland, his performance may suffer due to the pressure on him
It needs to be a team that is already good enough, but would be insane with him on the board. Real Madrid is a weird position because they are not bad offensively, they need defensive players, so if he goes there then the result will not change much.

I would guess that he could win La Liga which is not that hard for Real without him as well, so with him it should be easier, but UCL would be the key. Whereas if he goes to a team like Liverpool, which we all know won't happen, then they could solve that salah mane or whatever problems and just put Haaland up there and he would be good enough to change so much for them, they could become both premier league champions AND win UCL. Or just City, which is a simple choice, they would definitely win both EPL and UCL together in that case. So it needs to be a team that will dominate with him on the roster.
3408  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Deep before the Raise on: January 28, 2022, 10:43:52 AM
This can be the deep before the raise. In reality the market reaction is due to several reasons that are connected. The FED meeting that has got postponed is stated as a reason for the market to get pushed some extent and fall back below $36k. Now institutions and whales consider it an opportunity to accumulate bitcoin. There is no change in the dollar inflation rate and the same is being postponed to the March month. The US dollar index is found above 97% strengthening the dollar. This has reflected on the global market decline along with cryptocurrency market.
If whales are seeing this as a great time to accumulate as much as possible, and if the retail investor is scared and running away, then I am sorry but the rich will get richer, that has been the case for many years so far. I can't lie that I have been following what the whales are doing and trying to mimic it as much as possible, I have made some profit thanks to that.

I know that people have emotions and when you see the price going down then you feel terrible about your investment and get scared, but the reality is that if you see something you believe in dropping in price then you could be doing a lot better and just keep holding it as long as possible and can still profit, of course that is only if you believe in it.
3409  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What did you learn about crypto trading? on: January 27, 2022, 04:01:15 PM
I've also learned that Trading is not an easy money machine. It always need your time and effort and most important you have a lot of knowledge, strategies, patience and self discipline. If you are able to enter, you should also determine your trade exit.
I think the main things that I have learnt by trading over the years is patience and self control. Patience and self control has been the key things in trading, for me. If you don’t learn to have patience and self control, you would end up messing up your chances and trading at the wrong time, and as a result of that, losing your money.

Being a trader requires that you learn to control your feelings, and not be someone that is always acting on impulse. You have to take your time with the analysis of the market and make sure that you’re going in at the right time .
3410  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't punic, just hodl on: January 26, 2022, 06:39:00 PM
The entire crypto market is falling again today, but is this the first time? Didn't it fall the same way in 2021 before the new ATH? And remember what was the level of greed and fear at $40,000 a year ago and now? I see this drop as an opportunity to buy fundamental tokens at a good price. I bought NEAR, Sol, Aurora, Harmony, Link, ADA.
It was known long before it happened but we just couldn't see it. I mean the prices were low, not this low but it was under 50k for a long time and we should have realized that it was failing to go up. I mean if it could, it would have already and it tried a few times as well and always came back down.

Just because it also failed to go down, I thought that the higher prices would win, but at the end of the day it didn't happen that way and it moved down. In any case, this is a great discounted price for me, I know some people hate that type of approach but for me it is like that.

So, all I will do is buy more and hope that the price goes up soon. Even if it doesn't go down soon, I have a good amount of money saved aside this month, normally my finances are bad for the past 6 months but this month I didn't had to spend anything at all, barely small stuff like food and.. well that's about it Cheesy. Personal reasons for it but I am happy that I have some money aside, I will probably use that to buy some more coins.
3411  Economy / Economics / Re: The Russian economy is on the verge of collapse. What to expect? on: January 26, 2022, 03:28:24 PM
How do you know that the Russian economy is on the verge of collapse?
Many "experts" in my country think that the Russian economy is pretty much OK and Russia has enough resources and raw materials to survive on it's own.I don't know,maybe most of these so called "experts" simply like Russia way too much,which makes their opinions biased.
I still don't think that Putin will invade Ukraine.He's just raising the stakes,so he could get something more out of the negotiations.
The tensions between Russia and the western world will impact negatively the cryptocurrency industry,because many miners are located in Russia and many Russians are trading and owning cryptocurrencies.I don't believe that any US sanctions towards Russia would make the Russian government more "crypto-friendly" than before.
Economy is not something that you can hide very well. By the easiest methods, you could check how much inflation is (real one, not what government says), see what the average increase on salary was, check the rent prices, then check the value of their fiat versus dollars or some other fiat, and you can see it.

I mean it is not something you can lie about, it is not something you can hide neither, sure you can say inflation is 1% when it is 10% type of lies but people would know the truth when they check like only 10 items and their prices. Which is why we know that there is a Russian economical crisis. However, to be fair, no nation in the world did better than last year, it is getting worse for everyone.
3412  Economy / Economics / Re: Buy Crypto Or Have Fun Staying Poor! on: January 26, 2022, 02:48:34 PM
I can say there are still those people who don't know crypto and yes it's true even if the crypto is now hype and also because of the NFT with play-to-earn feature it helps a lot to introduced crypto to people but still there's other people who don't know it. Aside from the fact that there are many people who can't buy good crypto these people are also those people who didn't access the right information. I can say that money still not the hindrance for crypto adoption but also the insufficient of knowledge of people about the platform.
At the end of the day we are not going to have 100% adoption. Not everyone in the world will be using crypto, even if it became legal tender all around the world in every single nation, some people will prefer fiat and will use that. However, considering we are still at the start of the crypto world, and we have so much potential, I say that we should not be worried about bigger adoption.

I can see a world where bitcoin became legal tender in 50+ nations where banks allow you to have a debit/credit card where you can use crypto and never touch fiat if you prefer to (but can use it if you want to). That's going to happen one day, maybe when I am very old, but it will. So, we are not anywhere close to filling our potential just yet.
3413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: January 26, 2022, 01:50:31 PM
I am a non UK person who watches Premier League games. And since a few months now I even watch Italian League games. But it is the same for me supporting a local team and a foreign team,,, I support only the team and the players and coach and style. I am not a crazy fan hating others, I do not even know the birthday of my favorite players like Son!

I just like watching good football. But as a supporter, you also feel the "enjoyment" of your rivals not doing well. I do not think this is about where you are from. I believe in this thead 10% maximum of supporters are even from the same city as the club. I for sure never seen London,,, I do not even know where my club stadium is if you throw me in UK Smiley
In my case, I do not have rivals because I do not have teams that I support. I mean I love some players from city, love some from Liverpool, love some from united, so I can't just feel happy about one team being better because others are doing worse. So for me, it is all about watching good quality football.

I love watching premier league and la liga because if you ask me that is the two best leagues in the entire world and I do not think that we would ever get any better leagues for a while as well, they are just great. Watching Bayern is great too, I would love to see them lose championship just once to feel at ease to be fair Cheesy but watching them play is great, and watching PSG feels great too, but those are just one team, so I could be considered "fans" for them since other teams are not enjoyable.

Premier league is not like that, they have 10-12 teams that I love to watch, hell even Southampton, watford, leeds trio at the bottom is great to watch because 2 of them had crypto sponsorship and leeds had docuseries.
3414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 25, 2022, 08:30:48 PM
It is great to see the title competition going on between Bayern Munich and Dortmund. I know that there is a six-point difference still but this is not a big gap either. On the last week, both of these teams got huge wins. Dortmund beat Hoffenheim by 3-2 after a fierce fight. They would have left by one point also as they didn't have many shot attempts. They were lucky too because of that. And Bayern Munich had nothing to do with luck though. They demolished Hertha by 4-1 in their away game. I hope to see Dortmund decreasing the point difference more as soon as possible to increase the level of competition.
Bayern dominated the league for so long now that people are happy to see som team that is even remotely close to them. I mean it is obvious that Bayern will still be champions but at least having some competition right behind them making them uncomfortable really helps.

I personally do not feel like it is that much possible for Dortmund to win the championship, but I also think that if they were further away, like 10-15 points behind and Bayern was ahead of everyone that much, then Bayern would lose more points, they would basically just relax and not care too much and end up losing points more. This way, they could still become champions but at the very least they are really working hard on something and that is a good thing, we are really seeing the best of the possible outcome from both teams and they keep working hard to stay there.
3415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: January 25, 2022, 07:46:26 PM
I don’t agree with you and no one who loves this sport will, because the World Cup is precious because it’s played only one time in four year’s, and by playing it in every two year’s they’re killing the glory associated with this cup and I’ll be totally disappointed if they succeed.

Also you don’t understand if it’s every two year’s there’s no competition for the place’s, the player’s will skip it as there’s no glory left in it and slowly we’ll see b team playing for their country’s, and then we’ll truly regret why didn’t we stop this from happening but it’ll be too late.
I am guessing that it is a bit more about money. So, assuming let's say you make 1 money for every 4 years, but if you do it every 2 years then you start making 0.6 money per 2 years, that is still 1.2 per 4 hours when you combine it. So that could be a great reason for Fifa to consider something like that. You dropped 40% in value, and income, but you increased because it is every 2 years instead of 4 and that is still a decent idea to be fair.

I am not saying that they will do it, maybe they won't do it but there is at least a bit of reason behind something like that which I could totally understand. Otherwise, if I were to decide which one was better, I would say 4 years as well, it just doesn't make sense to make it that frequent, plus the continental cups would collide with the world cup in that situation, now we have European cup and 2 years later world cup, then 2 years later European again and so forth, it is easier that way.
3416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: January 25, 2022, 07:06:45 PM
I cannot ever be a Chelsea fan even if I wanted to,,, forever stuck with Spurs, but of course you cannot help but admire good players, no matter which club they play for, and for me the more important thing than their skills is their attitude and I agree Ziyech does have a good attitude, with Mount I do not feel much and in fact with the others other than Kante I do not really feel any "metal" in their attitude other than that they all seem to be playing like they are not going at 100% yet (or are unable to?).
That is the biggest advantage of being non-UK person who watches premier league games. I do not have a team to support, I do not even know the cities too well, I barely learned where some teams are from later in my life, so I care about none of that.

To me, the most important thing is to watch good players and good teams and seeing how awesome Chelsea is playing under Tuchel is a great feeling, I love watching them playing great and dominating games sometimes, they have a great motivation I suppose or discipline. Watching players like Ziyech really makes it fun to be a football fan, watching all kinds of players that play great performances out of nowhere. Like Watford sucks but Ben Foster is a great goalkeeper if you ask me, even at his age, so when you are non-UK then you end up finding good players in every single team to enjoy when watching the game.
3417  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Solana full of hype? on: January 25, 2022, 06:21:59 PM
The project hasn't been able to deliver concrete results, other than being hyped up by its supporters. It's only been on the top because of the low fees and ultra-high performance. Considering that Solana has been a victim of several network disruptions, I don't think it's a blockchain to be "played with". People want something that's secure and reliable, not something that can go down periodically (like it's the case with Solana today). If network disruptions/outages keep up, I'm afraid SOL will go all the way down the drain at a very fast pace. Ethereum may be more expensive and slower to use than Solana, but it's safer and reliable than most projects out there in the crypto/Blockchain space.
The promises that they gave to people are really cool. I am not going to lie, if SOL team delivered on their promises then it would have been something marvelous and they would have been one of the top coins, probably reach at least third place.

However, as you have said they are not really delivering on their promises and that is the main problem. Not that there is anything wrong with what they have right now, their capabilities are fine, but they promised more and this causes problems when people force it. If they can fix it all and have a working product exactly as they hoped for, then it will not be full of hype, but for the time being, they do not have that and it looks like full of hype only.

Well now that Russia ban fud is over now, at least for a moment if Russia isn't going to be a new China. Things are looking up again. Most people will still fear the 2 year bear market possibility, but institutional investors well see trough this and keep accumulating, as they have studied enough to see the true potential.
What happened? Why is it over? I didn't know that it was over. Last I heard Russia was still piling up soldiers around the border and making some sort of "if NATO and Europe takes Ukraine in, we are going to take these parts of their lands!!" type of deal, and that caused many European and usa-based companies to stop working with them.

The whole swift deal started because of that as well, and assuming that they didn't stop, since Russia doesn't look like they are stopping neither. However, I am just a follower of the subject and I am not from either of the countries, so I might be wrong and there could be someone better to answer this question; is it over? and how?

At this time bitcoin is really unstable. I'm not sure about anything anymore... It can stay around 35,000$, it can show some strength pumping back to 40,000$ and it can even drop further to 29,000$ if the currently tendency isn't reverted soon. These are the three possible scenarios I have in mind by the end of this month, which is still taking another long week to finally end.

January has been a tough month for bitcoin. I just hope it's not a bad omen of how the entire 2022 is going to be!
That is basically the whole gist of the investors as well. I mean if you invest into crypto then you feel exactly the same way as well and think that it may go to 40k+ soon or it may end up with nothing at all and make you lose money too, nobody knows. This is at least just gambling, it is not really the same as investing all of your money into something.

You know that, in here you gamble and if you lose then all of it is gone and if you win then it will be good, but with regular investing you usually either lose some or win some and that is why you are free to invest more, since you can't lose it all and have zero. That is at least what I do, maybe others don't do it that way. All in all, it is just nice to see people taking the price wager seriously, it is not that much different from regular investing, it could go either way and people realizing that is awesome to see.

The Lakers will win consistently If AD will be consistent in his return as well. Remember how bad AD was playing before he got injured. The guy seems contented with just 1 ring and stopped being competitive. I hope that's not gonna be the case once he return, because this Laker team has really became hopeless, and only AD's return is the most anticipated thing for the Lakers to possibly put a turn around with their current situation.
It doesn't matter if AD gets back healthy or not, they are already bad and no matter how great they could get, they are going to have a tough schedule against better teams from now on out, and they can't win all of them and even if they are slightly over 50%, that is still not enough to be at the place people assumed they would be.

Many people assumed Lakers would fight for a title at the start of the season and we know that no matter what happens this year, they are going to be underwhelming team and results are showing the same thing. They just have 2 superstars, one injured for now, one guy who is a super star but doesn't fit the team, and rest do not look good at all. It is not going to get any better for them.
