361  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: November 12, 2023, 03:23:33 PM
Maybe that's too soon to start talking about Al Hilal and if this team is going to win the Saudi league title or now but the fact about Al Hilal is they are in the first place the Saudi league with 35 points and the only team with enough power to reach them is Al Nassr while even Al Nassr needs four points to reach Al Hilal which is a lot because Al Hilal is not going to lose points easily.

Al Hilal has been able to perform very well since the beginning of the season. And so far the team has maintained consistency. Al Hilal are still unbeaten this season. They won 11 out of 13 matches. Neymar was added to the squad at a huge cost by Al Hilal. But he is not with the squad due to injury. However, Al Hilal players are playing well in every match. Mitrovic in particular is scoring a lot of goals.
Al Nassr can only continue to fight for the title with Al Hilal. Al Ahli are now 9 points behind Al Hilal. And bridging this gap is much more difficult. Because Al Hilal's performance is very consistent.
Al Hilal and Al Nassr currently have greater consistency than other teams, even though Al Nassr has been defeated twice, they have quickly improved their performance and won again in every match and today Al Nasar proved that this team is capable of being a strong challenger for Al Hilal with a very small difference in points.

It looks like Al Ahli this time is having a little difficulty catching up with these two top teams because I see that Al Ahli is starting to become unstable and the 9 point difference will be very difficult if they are chasing 3 wins.

One thing I do not like is the point difference between Al Hilal And Al Nassr. There is a four-point gap between these two teams. I really want to see the gap decrease. I want to see them competing very closely for the league title.  And I really do not want to see any one-sided competition. I hope that Cristiano Ronaldo's team Al Nassr will be able to improve their performance further and have a genuine competition for the title. So far it does seem like these two teams are going to be fighting it out for the title because the other teams are not showing consistency.
362  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could Bitcoin Hit $1 Million by 2026? Arthur Hayes Makes Exciting Forecast on: November 12, 2023, 09:19:47 AM
As much as we are an optimist I think that we still need to be grounded in reality so, bitcoin hasn't even crossed the 100k mark yet so it's unlikely that a million is a possibility during that time period, from what I can take from this is that we should continue buying and accumulating bitcoin because with that kind of forecast, who knows who's forecast is going to right and on the off chance that this becomes a reality, you don't want to be missing out on the potential profits that you could've taken so just take it with a grain of salt.
It is also important to set goals for ourselves and avoid being consumed by greed, obviously when I see predictions of bitcoin reaching a price of one million my mouth salivates as that will mean I will obtain huge profits thanks to it, but when it will happen and will I still be holding my coins? That is what I do not know, so I would think it is a better idea to set more down to earth goals, since I am sure even a price of 100k will greatly help those which have held their coins for a few years already and change their lives for the better.

One thing I see is that predictions of $100k or $120k are rarely discussed and instead, predictions of bitcoin reaching $1m or $10m are always discussed. Meanwhile, the goal that most of us aim for is 100k$. That shows how high people's expectations and greed are. But honestly, I have never thought about those goals, I like to live realistically and I agree with some of those opinions: we haven't even reached $100k yet, how can we reach $1 million? I think the people who made that prediction are obsessed with bitcoin or they have their own purpose in deliberately creating that attention.
363  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will it Hold? BTC Targets $40,000 on: November 12, 2023, 09:07:12 AM
Holding 37k up to now and yes 40k is sooner to be broken again , its just waiting for the final blow, let those taking the correction serious and selling , let us continues to hold for the future effect .

maybe 45k is near the table , I will be happy watching this to happen.

Breaking 40K is still a big question now that we notice the sudden weakness of the bulls when reach the 35K area. We are currently on 37K and possibly reaching 40K in quick manner but I doubt that we can easily make 40K as support and aim for higher resistance since everyone is just trading because of the optimism on ETF approval which is still uncertain.

Bitcoin halving is still almost half year from now so I’m expecting more price action of correction rather just a big continuous like what happened before. I believe Bitcoin will always have a major correction whenever 30k, 40k, 50k and so on will be achieved.
I agree with you, we can hit $40k this year, but turning $40k into resistance is not easy. Personally, I also predict a possible correction in the last days of November, IMO. I don't think we will have ETFs before halving and into bull season from now on. I'm still leaning toward a scenario where history repeats itself rather than us having an ETF this year and entering the bull season earlier than usual. At this time, we should think about correction instead of subjective thinking that bitcoin will continue to increase and reach 45k$.
364  Economy / Speculation / Re: Has anybody expected this? on: November 12, 2023, 08:55:27 AM
Technically speaking 37k has been broken, we have seen it go above that, and that's a great thing, I certainly enjoy it a lot. I believe that we need to end up with something that has to be very important with time, and right now we are getting closer to 40k, that's the most important part of the deal if you ask me. I understand that it is not all that easy to handle all of this, there are a lot of people who are not entirely sure about the situation, but I believe that we need to keep it going.

If we can hold for a while longer, then I am sure that the price will do a lot better, and considering how dangerous point we are in right now, it is clear that we are going to end up with something that has to be very big deal, can't be undone, just give it enough time. If we are so excited about 37k right now, think how much better it will be for the whole market when we finally see the 40k price broken and then 50k and then 60k, it will make the market go crazy.
Yes you are right about price breaking $37k from a technical standpoint.  The recently retracement to $36600 does not also negate this however, some stability is needed above $37k price point to fully establish that we will see $40k soon. I also agree with you that $40k is a significant number that Bitcoin need to reach as this will create huge impact in the media and the Bitcoin community. If price reach this level before the end of this year, clearing the ATL will be an easy thing because holders will be in high optimism.

I think that even if bitcoin corrects from now on and drops below 30k$, there will be no scenario where we drop below 15k$ and make a new bottom. I believe the bottom has been set for this bear season and we will not go back there even if another black swan appears.
The target of 40k$ is the target we expect and we will most likely achieve it, but whether bitcoin will continue to rise to 50k$ or will correction, no one knows. Nothing is certain in this market.
365  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: November 11, 2023, 04:10:15 PM
Tomorrow, PSG will visit Reims headquarters. and referring to the betting options, PSG is far superior to the home team. even based on odds, PSG has a low value with @1.56. on paper, PSG should be able to win this match.
If you look at the number of betting opportunities and look at the odds, maybe PSG is very favored, but today we will know who is more worthy of winning this match, Reims is playing at home and this is also the hope of all its supporters, especially since its position is very good in 4th place in the standings so only four points different from PSG who are in second place in the standings, I think Reims is a club that should be taken into account too and cannot be underestimated.

I hope the PSG players play fully considering that yesterday they played in the UCL and lost to MIilan, Enrique's task now is to pay attention to the players who will be fielded, make sure their performance and stamina are maintained against Reims today, I may not be too sure that PSG will play their best maybe but I hope they win the match by a close score or the result will be a draw, because Reims certainly doesn't want to lose points and will defend their position too.

If we talk about the performance of PSG in the Champions League, they have definitely been inconsistent. I really think PSG probably does not deserve to go any further in the Champions League competition from the best 16 teams. Even the last match from them was a loss and I have to say I expected a better performance from them. It is true that, if we talk about the performance from them in the Ligue 1 they are probably the best. But in the Champions League, I cannot say the same thing for PSG. And it is definitely not going to be very wise to expect a lot from PSG in the Champions League competition.
366  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the Choice of Investors on: November 11, 2023, 03:45:00 PM
Of course, Bitcoin is a choice for investors, especially investors who have known Bitcoin for a long time. But for people who don't know Bitcoin, even though they are investors, they won't say that. Many of these investors still doubt Bitcoin. They don't think they can make big profits from Bitcoin.

They still choose to invest in gold, as they have known for a long time. They are unwilling to accept new things that might be more promising to provide benefits for them. Moreover, they often hear that Bitcoin is only used for illegal things.

Let them be like that because we will not be able to change their stance. If they still choose gold as their investment, that is their choice. But for us, Bitcoin is an option to invest and we are already strong Bitcoin investors.

I think there is no one who doesn't see the profits that bitcoin is making, it's not that they don't believe that bitcoin can't bring them big profits. Simply because many traditional investors do not like the high volatility of bitcoin, they prefer the stability and safety of traditional assets. Especially investors with large amounts of capital, they have no reason to risk investing in bitcoin while investments such as gold or real estate are also generating significant profits for them from their capital.

I have some friends who are real estate investors, they don't like bitcoin because they think the market is full of manipulation and the game is too unpredictable so they would rather accept small profits but still be safe with real estate. I find that normal because each person has different thoughts and preferences.

Dortmund have very tough opponents in their next two matches. PSG and Milan are experienced teams in the Champions League. And it will be very difficult for Dortmund to win against these two teams. However, Milan's performance is now somewhat erratic. If Dortmund can beat Milan they will qualify for the next round.

On the other hand, nothing can be predicted about PSG's performance. However, if PSG is able to avenge their previous defeat against Newcastle, it will be easier for PSG to qualify for the knockout rounds as well. But so far every team has potential to do well. I look forward to seeing PSG's performance in the home match against Newcastle. It remains to be seen whether PSG can avenge their earlier humiliating defeat.
Milan or PSG are indeed part of the experienced teams in the UCL, but we must not forget that Dortmund is also part of the experienced clubs in the UCL, so the opportunity to qualify from this round is very big and to compete against Milan, it will most likely be a little difficult to beat Milan because this team has a fairly strong defense in the UCL and on the one hand the attack line led Giroud will definitely have very good results when competing at home.

but when playing against PSG, even though you have an opinion, PSG still does not have clarity in terms of consistency, but the opportunity to get 3 points is greater for Dortmund, who will compete at home to avenge their defeat at that time and of course the candidate in group F is stronger, Dortmund or PSG.

I am very doubtful about the performance that Dortmund is going to show in the upcoming matches. Because I don't think we will actually see them performing well enough. My prediction is that they are going to show a pretty average performance. So far they have been inconsistent and I do not expect them to improve anytime soon. So I am not going to be surprised if I actually even see them losing all the matches that they are going to play in the Champions League, to be honest. And it is definitely hard to trust them.

Liverpool missed the privilege of qualifying for the next round with two games to spare. A win would have been better for the team to enable them to face their tight schedule in the EPL. Qualifying for the next round would have made Jürgen Klopp rest more players. Indeed the loss didn't affect their chances of qualifying since they are still the group leaders and one more win will take them to the next round. But it was clear that Liverpool was not at its best which can also make one assume that Toulouse was underrated. Individual defensive mistakes caused some of the goals Liverpool conceived and an example is Kosta Tsimikas's mishandling of the ball that led to the first goal by Donnum. Toulouse seems to have placed more importance on the Europa League than the Ligue 1 where they are in 14th position.
Liverpool are already their group leaders and will be qualifying with first position,and what I can say about that match was that they did not take it seriously since they are already topping the group,they thought it was a match they were going to just win convincingly without stress,but they didn't know Toulouse were well prepared for that encounter,and wanted to qualify by all means.So a win for them has given them a chance in qualifying.Liverpool will be facing Brenthford in the EPL,and it is indeed going to be a tough match for them because we all know what Brenthford are capable of doing.The reds had a draw in their last match against Luton,and would want to bounce back with a win by all means,so I think they will thrive towards getting three points in this one.

Did not expect Liverpool to lose this match at all. The funny thing is Liverpool actually dominated the match in terms of having possession of the ball. But Liverpool was unable to do much with it. They were able to make things interesting in the end by scoring in the 89th minute of the match. But I have to say performance from the Liverpool was below average. The accuracy needs to be better from Liverpool. I don't know what to say then the fact that this is a match probably nobody expected Liverpool to lose. And at the same time, I have to give credit to Toulouse.

Certainly would have been better, but at the same time. I also agree that it is not the end of the world for Liverpool. They have another competition to think about. And Liverpool is a team that will consistently have to think about both the English Premier League and the Champions League as well. So probably if Liverpool actually ends up losing in matches like this, where it will not matter if Liverpool wins or loses, I think we can actually overlook the results not being in favour of Liverpool. But I think as soon as we enter the later stages of the competitions, Liverpool is not going to have that luxury for sure

I actually still hope that Lewandowski will recover as soon as before because after suffering an injury at that time Lewandowski's performance decreased a little and we can see a decline in performance several times when he appeared on the field with Barcelona and on the one hand, it is possible that his current age is a bit old. so his performance is no longer like last season but in my opinion it is not because of his age but after suffering an injury at that time Lewandowski has become a little less.
But as you said, the season is still a bit long, giving Lewandowski the opportunity to improve his performance.

I agree that age and injuries can affect a player's performance. Lewandowski has not been in his best form at the start of this season, but perhaps that is also due to the difference in strategy expected by Xavi. Previously, Lewandowski had said clearly that Xavi tended to play Lamine Yamal, which incidentally did not have much of an impact on Barcelona's attack power. It is clear that perhaps Lewandowski felt he was not getting an adequate ball supply to break through his opponent's goal.

I don't completely agree with one opinion or assumption, but it is true that this season Xavi seems to have lost a good attacking force from his strikers after Dembele left for PSG. Joao Felix is ​​good to hope for, but he tends to dribble a lot instead of providing passes or assists to other players like Lewandowski. Xavi has to change his strategy so that Barcelona's attacking strength returns to sharpness, but I believe this is also because Barcelona lost several supporting players due to injury.

First of all, Xavi does not have the luxury of having the players that he actually wants. Because he simply cannot spend money as he likes. And secondly, he is facing a lot of problems because of the injury issues in Barcelona. That's why I think if we say that Barcelona is not really a team that can actually compete against the likes of Real Madrid, it will be wrong. I do not know about anyone else, but I definitely do not expect a lot from this Barcelona team in the Champions League competition. But if we talk about the La Liga, I think they are still the second best.
370  Economy / Economics / Re: New business idea. on: November 10, 2023, 04:15:02 PM
To choose a business is not that difficult; sometimes we are the ones to choose the one that will suit our capital. You also need to have a budget for everything written down. If you don't have enough money, you should definitely not go for something that is high in price, but you should make sure that what you are about to sell people will demand such things so that you won’t come and buy them and keep them in store. As a businessperson, you also need a good location to sell something. You can’t go where they are selling something that people don’t need in such an area so in short, for me, businesses just need a good location and funds to fund the business.
In other words, building a business is not easy if someone does not have capital and skills, this is where equipment is needed to build it and if one of the things needed is not there then it is impossible to run it. Accuracy in building a business must be based on community needs which are the main priority and if we are unable to see these needs it will be difficult to develop the business we run. It is better to prioritize businesses that meet the needs of the community because they will be easy to develop because they will always buy these necessities even though their financial condition is less stable due to inflation or recession.

Building a business requires research about the needs, location and number of consumers. When we can master this, the business we develop can develop well. Therefore, business people usually conduct a survey of the location, needs and income levels of the people around the business that we are developing before starting it. By knowing consumer needs, it will be easier for them to develop a particular business because the market will still need buyers and that is the foresight that business people need to see.

What you said reminds me of a famous saying in business: "We should sell what customers need, not what we have." That is a saying that carries a lot of meaning and I think business people should remember this saying.

In addition to knowledge and capital to start a business, it is even more important that we clearly know the customers we are targeting and what their needs are. From there we can provide what they really need. We do not need to sell expensive, luxury items in areas where people have average incomes and vice versa...When talking about business, we have thousands of things that need to be discussed carefully before proceeding.

You're right, doing business sounds easy but when we start doing it, things will not be as we imagined.

-snip-
So maybe one day a better version of bitcoin, that we have not imagined today, can be created, to put bitcoin in second place or even put it in the level to compete with altcoins. We're just analysing future events that can happen in the crypto space, but unarguably for no was we have said before bitcoin remains the cryptocurrency to beat.

Competition is good for crypto coins, so that developers can go to work on how to unseat bitcoin, it's all about innovation.
Even Bitcoin is 14 years old and since the beginning of Bitcoin there have been many other platforms that have tried to displace Bitcoin, but in the end, they will only be defeated by the power of the community and they cannot match what Bitcoin has.

There are more versions of Bitcoin that have emerged since its inception, but they have not made Bitcoin lose or even be eliminated.
Perhaps the strongest to date is BCH, but BCH is also a derivative of Bitcoin, so what does it want to prove that it is better than Bitcoin?

snip

Thats one of the strong components of Bitcoin - community and the consensus which goes with it.

So in order to beat Bitcoin a new project has to come up with something which is securer than Bitcoin,
is open source, decentralised and has the backing of firstly: Miners, Node runners and finally the
acceptance of those who are willing to accept its protocol and then to ditch Bitcoin which is PROVEN
to have all the above for something which may or may not work.

Bitcoin has history, has never been broken/hacked/successfully attacked.

Up to now, there is still no project that can defeat bitcoin, not because the bitcoin community is so strong and ready to stop those who want to defeat bitcoin. We are all perfectionists and would gladly leave bitcoin if a better project came along, but so far there is no project better and superior to bitcoin. Most projects are created to make profit, while bitcoin was not created for that purpose in the first place. So there will be a huge difference that leaves bitcoin with no real competition. Bitcoin was created to provide and bring solutions to us through its decentralized, privacy-focused features...Meanwhile, other projects only focus on profits and profits, and to do that they mainly pump and dump, they do not bring any practical utility. So, it will not be easy for us to have a better project than bitcoin appear.

The topic of Mbappe will definitely return again at the start of next year, because Mbappe is still considered the best player who is still worthy of being discussed by the media about his move to another team. And actually I am also waiting for the surprise that will come with Mbappe's decision where to move after this season, although for some people maybe that is no longer a surprise. However, this tempting offer will definitely come to Mbappe because he is still worthy enough to be used by any team next season.
It's caused by the popularity of mbappe was so big. People are always paying attention to him even so numerous media was also making fake rumors and fake news regarding him to increase their traffic. We will see a surprise to come from him probably next year.
Everything about him is still remain interesting thing to be watched. So many fake articles and rumors have been spread over various social media platforms. It proves that if the news about mbappe was alwasy getting huge traffic.
Mbappe and real madrid have become the hottest topic that have been discussed various times since last year. Everything about mbappe is still remain the best thing.
It is quite evident that Mbappe will undoubtedly make the decision to join Madrid, resulting in PSG incurring significant financial losses due to allowing him to leave as a free agent. Even chelsea fans have been pushing its owned to recruit mbappe to the club.
Kylian Mbappe would definitely be on the news for so many football related issues because as a player, he has the potentials of becoming one of the greatest footballers ever in the history of football.
Talking about his future, I think he'll be heading to Santiago Bernabeu next summer because that's where he's always been speculated to go to and also because Real Madrid president Fiorentino Perez has never hidden his admiration for the France international. Mbappe will make a good signing for Real Madrid if he's finally signed to the club because the club already has world class players that'll help him flourish at the Real Madrid.

If, after this season, Mbappé does not move to Real Madrid, I will honestly lose hope for him. He has so much potential and he is really wasting it by staying in PSG. He should immediately say yes if he is approached by Real Madrid. And I definitely believe that Real Madrid is going to approach him. Because there is a shortage of really good strikers right now. Sorry, Real Madrid does not have many options other than to go for Mbappé.  But if this time it doesn't happen, I am sure that Real Madrid is definitely going to find someone else for the job. Because they cannot just keep waiting for him.

Yes today was bad, I was expecting a dip in the transaction fees but if you wanted any transaction to go thru you would need to pay up 100 sats byte.

The fact that Bitcoin broke to new yearly highs many probably want to sell some and this is causing the backlog to get bigger and bigger.

Maybe this weekend we will get a nice dip in transaction fees but who knows.

Yeah at this point it is hard to know what's happening next.
I just wanted to do a little transaction and the last number I had in mind from yesterdat was like 50-60 sat/b for a transaction. When I checked right now what the actual fee would be I was a bit shocked about the graph at the mempool site.

It's insane to be forced to pay over 140 sat/b again, I really want to throw up.

We need a fix and a solution for that asap.


We don't need a fix or a sidechain like some people are suggesting, we just need to find a way or wait for BRC20 to disappear then I believe everything will return to normal. The main reason for the recent high transaction fees similar to what happened in May this year is due to most BRC20 transactions. BRC20 is nothing but a meme even worse than some other altcoins, I thought they were dead and gone but to my surprise, Binance listed them and made them revive.

The latest rumors regarding Thiago Alcantara's future have not met since the transfer market several seasons ago and now it is reported that Thiago Alcantara is a target for Juventus and Inter after his contract with Liverpool ends next season. Thiago Alcantarra will be a free agent next season and that is why Juventus and Inter are starting to move to compete for this player. In fact, Thiago Alcantara is still quite good, but considering the injury he suffered and finally experiencing a significant decline in performance, he could only serve as a bench warmer at Liverpool.

It seems that Jurgen Kloop can no longer trust Thiago Alcantara's performance and therefore last season they recruited Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and even Ryan Gravenberch. It looks like it's time for Thiago Alcantara to leave Anfield and at least his services are still needed at other clubs rather than just sitting on the bench for the season.

Juventus maybe a good option, they've just lost two midfielder's in a couple few months, they will make good use of his services and experience in midfied but that's a tougher league to the Premier League without doubts I don't think he has that energy like he did with Liverpool.
Inter Milan? I double doubt that happening, I think theynhave quality midfielder's in midfied. What's the aim for Inter Milan management? They want to bring him in as a pensioner. Lol.

He has been a great support for Liverpool, as they've won the Champions League and Premier League during his stay. No! He didn't win the Champions League with Liverpool, it was Chamberlain, Henderson, Fabinho, that all lead that midfied to glory.
Has anyone seen Kevin De Bruyne's comment on playing with Cristiano Ronaldo? I'd love that for sure. Hahahahaha!

As you guys have already decided that he is not a very trusted option for his Liverpool coach anymore. So it will make a lot of sense for him to actually get out and already make a contract signing with another club, which he will join at the end of this season. I also think that Juventus is going to be a good option. Inter is also not going to be a bad option, to be honest. Both options are going to be good. Both of them are at the very top of the table. One is in the first position and the other is in the second. But for the player, it will probably be better if he goes to Juventus. I feel he will be able to get set with the surroundings more easily in Juventus.

I have never cared about what other people think about what I am doing because they are not people who care or worry about my life. I'm the one in charge of my life so I have no reason to worry about what they think of me or if they say bad things about me. For me, I like to talk by results rather than explaining and bad-mouthing each other. My economics have been far superior to theirs since I invested in bitcoin, so why should I listen to what they say? They are just jealous of my success.
We don't need to think about what other people think about what we do, you are right, we will be responsible for what we have done and we don't have to worry about what other people think about us. I agree with you, it would be better for us to talk according to the results we get compared to arguing with people who blame what we have done, but in my opinion those who blame investment in Bitcoin of course they don't understand Bitcoin well and they can't get it. profit from investing in Bitcoin and we have been able to make a profit from investing in Bitcoin and can also make a profit from the investment we make, so we don't need to think about what they say about what they don't understand well.

Yes, why do we care what others think about us when they have no responsibility towards us and our family? If they are rich and willing to guarantee me the life I have always dreamed of then I am willing to listen to what they have to say but if they are only jealous of my success then why would I waste my time with those people? Instead of spending time arguing or thinking about what they say, we should spend that time creating results, because results are what will make them stop badmouthing us.

[....]

Manchester United's squad does not have an experienced striker. Hojlund cannot be considered a first-line striker. More importantly, we can clearly see that Manchester United are not doing well in the 4-2-3-1 formation, they are having a lot of trouble scoring goals, yet Ten Hag continues this formation. Manchester's attack is unlikely to improve without changes in this formation and match strategy.
It's also quite puzzling why he keeps the 4-2-3-1 formation. He may be trying to experiment which of the player combination would fit his preferred style. That sounds good in a way but it's just weird that he doesn't mix it up.

It's not just about the strikers but also the goalkeeper having a slow start too which is also surprising since Onana isn't some newbie.

Manchester United's 4-2-3-1 formation is not doing well. Even in the pre-season matches we have seen that United's players could not do well in this formation. Ten hag should have introduced the team to a new formation and a new match strategy. and experimenting with the team. But he did nothing of the sort. He has kept the match strategy and formation unchanged. As usual, Manchester United have underperformed in the Premier League, Champions League and EFL Cup. And I would say coach Ten Hag is definitely more responsible than Manchester United's players. I don't see much effort from Ten Hag to improve Manchester United's performance.

I just read this, the local media in my country said that there are 6 Man United players who want Ten Hag to leave. But it doesn't detail who those players are. But I myself was a little disappointed with Ten Hag's performance. He did not immediately bring Man United to improve. Last season they had a positive effect. But this year has been terrible. Even players who don't get along have to be separated and will even be sold. It doesn't seem to have to be that way, players and coaches should be equally appreciative. Because I think the player that Ten Hag exiled is a good player.

Manchester United had a poor start to the season last season. But towards the end of the season we saw that Manchester United's performance was quite stable and consistent. Due to this, the team finally managed to qualify for the Champions League. A good performance towards the end of the season gave fans confidence in Ten Hag. But this season we are seeing bad coaching from Ten Hag.

Manchester United's squad does not have an experienced striker. Hojlund cannot be considered a first-line striker. More importantly, we can clearly see that Manchester United are not doing well in the 4-2-3-1 formation, they are having a lot of trouble scoring goals, yet Ten Hag continues this formation. Manchester's attack is unlikely to improve without changes in this formation and match strategy.

Do you think Bitcoins has competitions? It’s either Bitcoins or altcoins. There is nothing that is competing with Bitcoins or can take its place. Moreover the price of Bitcoins depends on the supply and demand. As we know that the supply is fixed, so everything that sets the price is the demand. If the demand to accumulate the coin is more, then in order to fulfil this demand the price goes up. So put this activity in the situation mentioned by you in the OP. You will get your answer yourself.

Anything that offers the same kind of service is a competitor. Although Bitcoin dominates the industry, there is no doubt that other cryptocurrencies are taking some share of the market.  

For example, a person that is into cryptocurrency have 50% of its portfolio to Bitcoin and the other 50% into the altcoin, just think if altcoin is non-existent,  the portfolio should have been 100% for Bitcoin and this 50% will contribute to the increase of price of Bitcoin in the market.

I agree that the price of Bitcoin is dependent to supply and demand, reason why if there is no other cryptocurrency around, Bitcoin would have way more value than when there is other cryptocurrency in the market.
Diversification is essential to modern personal finance and investment. Consider this: if Bitcoin is the flagship cryptocurrency, altcoins represent digital asset diversification. Your hypothetical scenario imagines all cryptocurrency capital flowing into Bitcoin. Would this be best for investors? Another issue is whether a lack of rivalry in any field would impede innovation. Bitcoin may have had 100% market share, but would it have evolved as fast without altcoins? While supply and demand dictate Bitcoin's value, altcoins give customers choices, which can make the crypto market more resilient and dynamic.

But should investing in altcoins be called diversification? Diversification means both looking to increase profits and looking to minimize risk, but if you invested in bitcoin and then altcoins. I don't think you are diversifying to reduce the risk of your portfolio. Because the entire market depends on bitcoin and if bitcoin disappears then the entire market will disappear too. Allocation to altcoins is not considered investment diversification, if you want to diversify, invest in non-crypto assets.

Competition is what will bring to the market many new products with better quality and help users have more choices. But with bitcoin and altcoins, altcoins do not bring much innovation but instead are scam projects and make the reputation of the cryptocurrency industry worse.

Way to many easy games tomorrow night in the Champions League.I don't think though they will all come out as they should where all favorites win the game as if we parlay all the favorites in a ticket and bet a relevant amount we can make a huge win with these games so I doubt it will be that easy.I also do not see that much room for surprise results as the difference of quality between the teams facing each other is really big and most likely most of such favorites should win their game.It is only on us to choose the ones that will win to hit a big win tomorrow night.
Borussia Dortmund vs Newcastle United will face each other now, I think this is one of the big matches in the 4th match of the Champions League group stage other than the match between AC Milan vs Paris Saint Germain. In the first meeting, Borussia Dortmund could beat Newcastle at their own headquarters, and now it is Borussia Dortmund's turn to play the host status. In the first match, the defeat that Newcastle got was not because they played badly but indeed the defeat was inevitable after Borussia Dortmund could create the only goal in that match. It is difficult to predict who will win, but Borussia Dortmund has more advantages in this match.
The UEFA Champions League game between Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle United at the Signal Iduna Park tomorrow will be a very crucial game for the two clubs in their respective quests to progress to the knockout stages of the competition.
Both teams are currently tied on the same number of points after three matches in the group F which is believed to be the most difficult group in the group stages of this season UCL competition. Borussia Dortmund having been able to defeat their opponents when they played away last two weeks is the bookmakers choice to win again tomorrow but u think Newcastle will definitely want to grab all three points. So I think it'll be a very difficult game for the two clubs.

However, Newcastle team lost the home match against Dortmund. Still I think Newcastle will win this match. I say this because the Dortmund team is not in good form. I have seen quite poor performances from Dortmund players in the last few matches. Even in the last match in the Bundesliga, the Dortmund team lost against Bayern Munich with a margin of 4-0. It is difficult to win against Newcastle in such conditions.

Newcastle's players are now very confident after defeating big opponents like Manchester United and Arsenal in the last two matches. And against Dortmund they will play for this win. Defeating Dortmund is not difficult if the players are confident. Because the understanding between Newcastle players is excellent.

Bangladesh won the toss and took the fielding decision. The pitch is not batting friendly. The average run of the first innings of this pitch of Delhi is 238 runs and the average score of the second innings is only 206 runs. But I saw the South Africa vs Sri Lanka match on this pitch. South Africa set a huge target of 429 runs and Sri Lanka collected 326 runs. So it is possible to give big targets on this pitch. If Sri Lankan batsmen can bat responsibly then they can give 300+ target. And if the target of 300 is given against Bangladesh, the Sri Lankan team will definitely win today. Bangladesh's batting order is very weak.

Sri Lanka looks set to provide a big target in today's match as well. More than 300 targets they will be able to deliver. They lost the wicket of Kusal Perera in the first over. But its effect is not seen in the performance of Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis. These two batsmen are batting very responsibly. In 11 overs, Sri Lanka collected 64 runs with the loss of 1 wicket. Nissanka remained unbeaten on 39 off 33 balls and Mendis on 18 off 28 balls. Bangladeshi bowlers need to pick up these two wickets very quickly. If not, Sri Lanka will easily move towards big collections. Mendis and Nissanka are two very important batsmen in the Sri Lankan squad.
