Barcelona's performance towards the end of the season looks so promising and I'm sure if they can maintain this form then they can snatch 2nd place from Sevilla, moreover, Sevilla's recent performance has not been so good. Barcelona has 1 game less than Sevilla, so if they can win this match then they are only 2 points behind Sevilla. In addition, Barcelona will also play against Sevilla on April 3, and this match will be a good chance for Barcelona to smooth their way to snatch 2nd place.
Well the positive things make us believe that as long as Xavi can guide his players it will come true. That the existence of Barcelona is key in the quality that Xavi provides is manifesting day by day. Barcelona's performance will be the point where Aubameyang feels comfortable at Barcelona. Pursuing Sevilla, who are only a few points away, motivates the Barcelona players not to be happy first before playing against Real Madrid on March 21, they must be able to shift Sevilla first.

However, Barcelona is in their best condition to pursue the difference in the points. Moreover, seeing their difference with Sevilla is only 5 points adrift, as well as several matches conducted by Sevilla, lately are only able to end in the series. This condition is not so good with the points, their difference is getting thinner so that Barcelona are very excited to chase them. At least they pursue in second place of this league. This is the most reasonable position in achieving.

But, I think Crystal Palace is not a very strong opponent and they should win the match against Crystal Palace quite easily in my opinion.

If they can't beat Crystal Palace easily, I'm not sure they will keep in the first position. Liverpool really hard work to reach their point to beat Man City, and the result can be seen now. Only 3 points difference and this will not be able City play slowly without any good strategy. If they lose today, so Liverpool will beat them easily, right.

Mungkin ini khusus untuk para member baru di duni crypto. Saya pikir kalau anggota disini dan pengalaman terhadap dunia crypto mungkin mental yang ngerayu. Biasanya orang berpengalaman akan lebih selektif. Selain itu biasanya kita hanya mengambil momen pas hypenya saja.

Hari ini cek indodax harganya sudah sampai 19 rupiah. Tidak terdengar promote lagi dan gembar gembor promosi, atau pembaruhan dari Dev. Jika ini terus berlangsung bisa jadi harganya akan semakin murah. 
 

Dan yang terakhir akan di delisting oleh Indodax sendiri. Sepertu yang telah terjadi di 2 token sebelumnya. Mereka sudah kehabisan cara untuk mempertahankan popularitasnya hingga menjual token, terkadang aneh dengan jalan berpikirnya. Kalo emang mau mengembangkan bisnis lebih, kenapa harus yang sangat berisiko. Tidak yakin juga saya kalo dev nya adalah orang mereka, mereka hanya digunakan utk ambasador dengan profit tertentu padahal projectnya nihil.

The government is not stupid at all.... they know Russia are using Bitcoin and other Crypto currencies to bypass their sanctions and they are going to use that to "regulate" Bitcoin. (Like 99/11 was an excuse to go to war in the Middle East)

They are also planning to develop a "digital" Dollar and it will be frowned on, if they banned Bitcoin ..just to launch the Digital Dollar in the near future.

You have to evolve with the trends in the global economy and the latest trend is "Blockchain" technologies.  Wink

Yup, they made the regulation not because they really care enough with crypto and the movement. The reason of their action because crypto is the only channel transaction which is easy to use and uncontrollable by any government. Dan is one of American who always judge that crypto was created by Putin to beat US and fight what sanction they give to russia. So, after this war happen, his opinion become make sense.

Newcastle's performance against Chelsea today is surprising to me. Neither team scored in the first half. Newcastle's defenders performed well. Chelsea made several attacks but failed. But maybe in the second half we will see more attacking forms of Chelsea. Newcastle's defense may be shattered if Chelsea attacks more. However, I think this match is very likely to be a draw.
If I say it has to be a draw, I don't agree because Chelsea has to take a lot of points, at least not by scoring without a goal at all. Chelsea did have to carry out the onslaught of dangerous attacks continuously until the Newcastle defense faltered. In the second half, I think Thomas Tuchel will try to change his attack strategy because Newcastle defense in the second half can always break Chelsea's attacks.

Their match looks so boring because both of them are on the same strength both in attack and in Newcastle's defence.  They have anticipated today's game, although Newcastle are difficult to win the game, at least they have to hold Chelsea.  It's already the 55th minute, however Chelsea must change their strategy otherwise they will continue to draw until the end.  On the other hand Westham also played very boringly, waiting for the second half in the hope that someone would win so that tonight's bet was not so disappointing.

Chelsea are experiencing a very critical condition currently, after the UK government Freeze the account and  assets of the team owner based in England. This would affect the team performance on the pitch. Though all problems will be resolved but with time. The team needs all the necessary support and courage they would get Currently. Thomas Tuchel will have to manage the players he has inother to maintain his position in the Premier league table.
The last match Chelsea played was with Norwish and Chelsea won 1 - 3, I do not yet see how this is affecting Chelsea yet, but in the long way, if Abramovich later have to sell Chelsea, this may have effect if the person that buy the club can not manage it well. Abramovich is a good owner of Chelsea as the club won even two UCL during his time.

Cristiano Ronaldo spectacular goal proved that he is a true goalscorer. It was only a few minutes later when the referee did not approve a penalty for Ronaldo's kick hitting Erick Dier's hand.
While Manchester United lead 1-0. The tempo of the game was getting more and more interesting as Tottenham continued to try to return the goal with various efforts from Son and H. Kane.
I am not a fan of Ronaldo but he is today proving again in this ongoing match with Tottenham as usual that he is a good player, he scored the first and second goal, but that does not mean Machester United can compete with Manchester City, he would have been better if Ronaldo play during the time. Manchester United is also at home in Old Trafford, we should expect better from home team.


Ronaldo's condition today is indeed very good compared to many previous matches.  Until recently, there was a lot of information about his absence due to his injury.  Many even theorize that this condition is just like their setting so that they are not blamed for the absence of Man United's current mainstay sticker.  This early half was quite good but the defense was on guard because Kane is a reliable striker too, if he can equalize the score then the attacking team's efforts are in vain.  Need his full support by his team.

As long there is no legit source link, it’s impossible for us to believe about it unless if it’s really coming from them and not just a third party or being relayed to a “middleman” source.

When you say “might”, it means “possible” but not sure. We do hope that they do, but there are no promises or guarantees.
As for some spokesman from eBay said:

“The growth of alternative currencies like bitcoin have the potential to be disruptive technologies but they are all still in the early stages of development. We’re closely following this area and look forward to seeing how it develops.”

Source: https://www.cnbc.com/2014/01/23/ebay-considering-accepting-bitcoin-as-payment.html

They are still on observation mode just like anything else.This is mainly talking about regulation issues and others.

That's true, I don't think they will accept crypto soonly because what I have read that they start to learn and observe crypto. They never said to accept but just collect more information about crypto. This is really different when OP they might accept Bitcoin and the possibility of what He wrote is low. I can equalize this news like what Amazon did before, they open job vacancy for the position which has many requirements and one of them is "Understand about crypto, but until now They haven't accept crypto yet.
48  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ATMs in UK Declared as Illegal on: March 12, 2022, 04:08:51 PM
It is illegal for UK crypto-ATMs to operate. No surprise there. However, bitcoin can still be used in a number of locations. The ruling class doesn't want people to have an alternative currency they can't control or freeze when they please. Since they're unregulated, I guess there aren't any licenses to operate a crypto ATM. The obvious reason is the Russian war. I'd say it's an excuse, not a reason.

Let's hope the USA doesn't follow in their footsteps...

If the main reason why they ban crypto ATM is Russia, that makes sense because in their country there're many Russian who still live but when the financial access have been freezed by the government, crypto ATM is one of the most channel to keep making transaction as easy as they can do. Because only crypto can be universal and decentralized so government can't control their action.

We will have to see about it though, yes, it's a big and welcoming news for bitcoin ecosystem, but it doesn't mean that it will automatically translate to a skyrocket price. The timing should be perfect before it will put a dent in the price. Because if the accept it in bear market, then I'm seeing the effect will be minimal. Just like what Paypal did, they took the time and wait it out till we are in a bull run and it works wonder as it affected the price positively.

Ebay is quite sure that they will implement Btc payments on their platform because they have previously approved NFT there too.  However, digital products that have been born and have proven the strength of their ecosystem and community must be legalized immediately, this concerns the lifestyle of millennial children who in the future will become leaders and make new regulations for the convenience of many people.
50  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and international conflict on: March 10, 2022, 05:38:29 PM
And they would put the blame on bitcoin for those illegal activities which is also happening to fiat. The government and the media would just need to have someone to blame for.
But good things comes to bitcoin these days, everyone is starting to be delighted with what's happening on it because its decentralization is being known and people are becoming aware of this certain issue about privacy and the distinction of its usage for fiat and bitcoin.
Those who blame Bitcoin for brokering illegal activities are unclear and ambiguous.  Weak literacy in society should be strengthened.  But what the Government should think about is how such conditions can be reduced but not disturbing the users, isn't this one of the greatest achievements for them because of course the presence of Btc is an expansion of the international scene.

Saya baca di Pikiran Rakyat, Ukraina mengumumkan kalau mereka menerima sumbangan berbentuk kripto yang akan mereka gunakan untuk kebutuhan perang dan kebutuhanuntuk negara selama perang berlangsung.
Nato mundur, AS mundur, Prancis mundur dan mungkin lebih banyak negara pendukung lainnya juga bakalan mundur untuk memerangi Rusia, tapi kenapa ya Ukraina dan pemerintahnya masih sangat ngotot untuk melawan Rusia bahkan dengan cara minta sumbangan individual begitu ke masyarakat crypto? Ane tidak berpikir cara ini dapat dianggap dukungan ke crypto dari Ukraina karena pada faktanya semua bitcoin atau crypto yang mereka terima dari hasil sumbangan bukan untuk investasi tetapi untuk dijual. Artinya mereka tidak akan ikut andil dalam kenaikan demand tetapi mungkin hanya akan meningkatkan penawaran di bursa "lokal atau International".

Kalaupun demandnya naik maka ane pikir imbas dari pernyataan Menteri Keuangan AS lebih mungkin telah mempengaruhi sentimen pasar dibandingkan perang Rusia - Ukraina. Resistence $45K akan dicapai, tetapi jika sentimen ini bertahan lebih lama. Tetap hati-hati dengan manipulasi karena disaat seperti ini banyak paus akan memanfaatkannya untuk menghasilkan keuntungan.

Apa yang diharap dengan perang seperti ini? Sekalipun Rusia melegalkan Bitcoin juga itu bukan sepenuhnya dukungan tetapi sebagai bentuk kebuntuan akan alternatif pembiayaan di negaranya. Baik Ukraina maupun Rusia tidak akan berkontribusi pada pasar untuk positif, tidak lebih sekadar penarikan dana segar masyarakat di pasar dengan alibi legalisasi BTC.

Presiden Ukraina memang sangat egois dan cukup bodoh kenapa bisa dia rela negaranya menjadi medan tempur kekuatan barat dan timur. Sangat disayangkan, dan seharusnya mereka bersikap netral jauh lebih baik.

Norwich no longer have a target in the Premier League they just play the match until the season ends because it is impossible to get out of relegation their poor performance continues even with only one point from 5 matches and today it has to be against Chelsea this just adds to their losing streak. Chelsea will definitely win even if they play second tier.

Thats really bad thing for the club, I can't think any reason why management still keep their bad performance in every season even in this season, they are so bad.  They never learn from the past, or keep fighting for improve their performance. At least in next season they can go out for the red zone thats a kind of achievement right? There is no future for the club, and just a foolish want to bet for them.
53  Economy / Economics / Re: Master card, Paypal, America express suspending services to Russians on: March 09, 2022, 05:45:45 PM
Because of the war going on in Ukraine as Russia invaded the country with the instruction from Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, US and EU have been sanctioning Russia in a way the country will not be able to fund the war as it continues. Payment companies in US are also going beyond business and they are suspending Russia because of the war it started. Master card, Paypal, America express are suspending services to Russian, Apple Pay and Google Pay have restricted services for some Russian also.

We all know that nothing can stop people from using bitcoin, all that is needed and difficult to be restricted or ban is p2p transaction which can be on decentralized or centralized exchanges. Some people are thinking this can be a way people will noticed p2p more and can be a way these U.S. credit card companies can be losing customers.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/no-credit-for-crypto-users-react-to-russia-issued-credit-card-ban

It is also suggested that this may later favour UnionPay which is a Chinese payment system. If Russia is getting less depending on US and EU, hope this will not later affect US and EU and be favoring China which is ready to make business deals with Russia? This is not about China but about how this will lot later affect US and EU.

The sanction will not affect for Russia because before the president decided to invade Ukraine, They have mitigate all of the worst possibilities which can happen in their country. Even before the war is begun, Russia has been restricted or banned in several economic regulations. This is not the new thing for their government, They will continue invade until Ukraine feel give up.

Ronaldo cannot guarantee top 4 position for Manchester United. His coming back to United is supposed to just help up front not to carry the team like they were making him do at the start of the season. It's quite frustrating playing in an environment where winning mentality is low, that's the problem Ronaldo have with this United team.

Ronaldo scores goals, but overall I think he is part of the problem, not the solution. He makes Man U worse, just like he made Juve worse. He's always had gaps in his game, like his pathological inability to track back or be a team-player. Sometimes if you play for a top team, your team-mates can cover for this deficiency and compensate for it. But other times, if you're at a good-but-not-great team like Man U, and there are better teams than you in the league, then they will exploit this weakness ruthlessly. Top goal-scorer, but not top team-player. He's not what United need right now.

When we blame Man United become worse because of Ronaldo, its too cruel. We know Man United has a bad performance for long time ago, even before Ronaldo was hired by management. The main point of their problems come from their all players, almost all of them are egoist. They can't create chemistry for earn goals in every match.
55  Economy / Economics / Re: Renewable energy transition is expensive, but is resilient on: March 09, 2022, 03:43:56 PM
Compare apples to apples, please Grin The 30 cents in Germany is the retail price (50% of it are due to taxes, with the "renewables tax", which mostly finances old infrastructure, being only 10-15%), while the 2 cents in China and Montana are wholesale/big consumer prices (which in Germany is normally about 5 ct, but in recent months got to 15-20 cents due to the gas/energy prices crisis). (The retail price in China is 9 ct, which is of course lower than in Germany.)

It is true that the developed environmentally friendly energy also has limitations with the wind season and solar conditions that do not routinely occur in Europe, making a difficult choice for the country.  This condition causes them to switch to nuclear and coal power plants.  Besides being cheap and easy to get.  The current issue is that the impact of the destroyed power plant due to war or anything else has a very fatal effect.  But it makes much more sense to avoid the cause than to incur far greater costs with immature considerations.  It's a different story if you are in an equatorial country where the sun and wind conditions are maintained in certain areas.  But now we are discussing the European region and its surroundings which have their own uniqueness.
56  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic effects after Russia blocks Facebook, Twitter, etc.! on: March 08, 2022, 05:20:44 PM

You're right. I had to laugh for a long time when I read that the only joy for the elderly in Russia is Facebook and Twitter. What can be in a person's head when he had this thought?
I just want to say that there are many sites and social networks where people in Russia can communicate among themselves. Moreover, someone is worried about WhatsApp turning off, but again, the relatives of Russian people living abroad are not stupid people. They will easily switch to social networks that are available in Russia.
The whole problem is not worth the trouble.

The Russian government blocking Facebook and other social media is not a very important thing to worry about.  This is not a basic human need that if they do not play social media then they will die.  So whatever it is and whatever the reason, this is only a little disturbing for the user's comfort but psychologically they will immediately switch to applications that are still allowed.  Humans have a basic nature that is easy to change according to their needs and desires.  Moreover, this condition is a retaliation for the prohibition measures taken by Europe and the US on Russia.

BTW, ada rumor kalau akan ada artis lagi yang akan meluncurkan tokennya. Ini hanya bocoran yang ada di group telegram, masalah valid atau tidaknya saya juga tidak tahu. Sepertinya Ghozali+Chef Ronald membuat para artis tertarik untuk membuat token kripto.

Oke deh kalau jalan terus berkembang dan serius mengembangkan proyek tentu kemajuan buat indonesia. Atau mereka hanya memanfaatkan momen untuk menambah kekayaan? Sepertinya mereka harus benar-benar berfikir tentang efeknya jika mereka tidak serius, krdibilitas nama mereka menjadi taruhan.
Kalau tiba berhenti, crypto dijelek jelekin lagi Huh. Dianggap penipuan Ponzi tambah deh keburukannya, efeknya ke pemerintah semakin rumit peraturan.


Sebenarnya apa yang membuat para investornya membeli token mereka? Apakah emang karena yakin atas project nya atau hanya mengambil momentum dan menciptakan FOMO agar semakin banyak yang masuk dalam proyek tersebut. Atau yang lebih parahnya lagi sebenarnya market yang bergerak itu karena manipulasi pasar agar public yakin ini bukan proyek bodong. Lagi lagi semoga saja tidak project scam agar tdk seperti kasus indra yg resmi jadi tahanan karna kasus binomonya.

I’ve posted about this a couple times over the last week or so, what I wrote can seem below. I would just caught those who plan on selling anything bitcoin/crypto/nft related, eBay almost always sides with the buyer, so be careful!

"Talking about eBay’s stance on emerging technology such as blockchain and cryptocurrencies, Iannone pointed toward the growing popularity of nonfungible tokens trading on its platform without making any official announcement regarding the same.

Iannone said that the company changed its policies last year to make the e-commerce platform a place to buy and sell anything, be it a physical or digital commodity. eBay didn’t respond to Cointelegraph’s request for comments at publishing time"

https://cointelegraph.com/news/ebay-to-add-crypto-payment-options-soon-says-ceo

Isn't this kind of attitude what we are waiting for from all entrepreneurs in the world.  By freeing payment options that are not only limited to fiat.  Because after all, the long adoption of Bitcoin has been hampered by the prohibition of transactions other than using fiat.  Though it's not a bad choice, crypto provides an increase in value whereas fiat contributes to a decrease in value.  So Ebay is enough to become entrepreneurs in the main ranks later if it is really realized.
59  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: First Bitcoin City on: March 08, 2022, 03:17:40 PM
Nayib Bukele concept and plan to build the world's first Bitcoin city is very interesting. The steps taken by Nayib Bukele are very bold, with funds from the issuance of $1 billion Bitcoin Bonds he wants to realize a dream that has never crossed the heads of other countries leaders.
I began to imagine if Nayib Bukele ambition to build a Bitcoin City would actually come true. El Salvador will be the first country to get revenue from cryptocurrency, and make it easier for Bitcoin city residents to invest with the facilities provided.


This can disturb US movement because as We know each other that the biggest regulator of economic in the world is US. When this project become success and They earn big profit, there will be many countries follow them slowly. Fiat will be left behind, and the Bitcoin price will be wild in the market. Because every Whales buy the huge amount, but this is just low opinion which is based not by data.

Ane kira media atau infotainment ini yang musti disalahkan karena begitu mem-blow up artis-artis ini ke atas.padahal kalau ditengok hasil karya mereka ini tidak ada yang lebih baik dari artis zaman dulu seperti elvis sukaesih, rhoma irama, dedi mizwar, dll. Malah artis2 mantan you tube seperti ayu tingting, cita citata, dll yang notabene biasa-biasa saja malah lebih wow akibat infotaiment ngasal.
Seperti yang lagi ramai karena kesuksesan menjual token mereka yaitu pasangan Lesti Billar. Terlepas kontrovesi pernikahannya, sekarang mereka melaunching token $LESLAR. Saya ga paham, kenapa orang yang tidak paham seperti mereka terus membuat bisnis crypto hanya untuk menipu masyarakat dengan mengumpulkan uang mereka dan membeli tokennya. Sangat memprihatinkan.
