I am 100% sure that although the signing bonus and transfer money are different expense items in an accounting sense, they are both still taken into account by the FFP. But Real can afford such expenses because its income exceeds expenses, they have not made major purchases for a long time (before Bellingham) and have accumulated a good financial reserve.
In addition, I am sure that Mbape will receive his signing bonus not just once, but as the contract is fulfilled, that is, this payment will be spread over several years.
And there are many more bonuses that Mbappe can get outside the formal context. Real Madrid doesn't always buy players often, but once they do, all the teams will be amazed to see them. It took just one Mbappe signing to become the biggest transfer of the season. Regarding managing income and expenses, Real Madrid has a clear structure so that it does not waste money carelessly. On paper, Mbappe is a free transfer and this is the genius of Florentino Perez that no other club president in Europe has.

Looking at the other side, the rivals are experiencing reverse conditions, struggling to recover from bad finances, difficulty maximizing player investment, lack of facilities and behind this it is all the result of the club's financial management not being neatly organized. In the current era of football, stable finances will create an ideal squad. Real Madrid is a reflection of the situation of a club that can do everything, Florentino Perez started from zero and now just has to reap the results.

I and a lot of people here frequently say that BTC is the better pick for the masses(which has always been true), but regardless, I'm usually only like 10% BTC overall most of the time because I like risk and I have been historically successful with picking altcoins. But this cycle? I have far fewer altcoin holdings and am more concentrated on BTC as the r/r has gotten worse with altcoins, and I think a lot of people will be disappointed — regardless if we generally continue to go up or not.

Will there still be altcoins that will achieve huge multiples? There will always be such altcoins.

Will I be right? Maybe, maybe not. Time will tell.
Year after year there are more and more altcoin choices, but this also makes us divide our portfolios more widely and the risk will no longer be as guaranteed as before in terms of returns. Some of the projects currently being built are only limited to games so that Bitcoin remains the main choice to be on a safe path in terms of risk. I agree that currently there are fewer altcoin holdings, it is difficult to choose, but if you want to go deeper and focus on seeking profits then we are already faced with the altcoin trend cycle of AI, Game, DeFi, Layer2 etc. Even that is not easy without in-depth research.

As a result, I, who don't really like risk, and decided to stay in Bitcoin in the long term. Leaving more of my finances in Bitcoin, because the results have been proven over the years to never disappoint.

Even though PSG is a rich club, they have failed to live up to expectations in Europe. I think the management ranks must receive serious attention to be improved and must be filled with people who understand the rules and targets of the club. Now is a new era for PSG to overhaul the squad after Mbappe's departure. On the one hand, the French striker is really needed, but on the other hand, he is a huge burden on the club because of his salary and attitude which must be put first.

PSG will still be able to shine under the guidance of Luis Enrique specifically in League 1, but in the Champions League it is always difficult for every team. It's just that the PSG president has to reorganize management, achievement targets and transfer policies.
After all in League 1 there is no club that has the same strength as PSG, so I wouldn't worry that they would easily get through League 1. Yes I agree that the Champions League is still the biggest obstacle and mystery for PSG until now. Because of that they have changed coaches anda bought expensive star players, though PSG still doesn't have a big chance of reaching the final or even winning a trophy. For some reason it is clear that PSG level of motivation and struggle cannot be compared to the struggle of other teams who are fighting from zero. PSG is a team that is considered instant, does not have quite an impressive history in Europe. Maybe because their finances have never experienced difficulties, it makes it difficult for this club to understand what it means to struggle for a team to reach Champions League level. Plus the club management is not very serious about creating history. At least manager Enrique can gradually eliminate things like that, Enrique's task is quite difficult to change PSG thinking patterns to a more effective realm in building a team.

There seem to be a lot of goals in the tournament so far. I'm rooting for Germany and Portugal to make it to the final. The key to success for these teams is their strong teamwork, which they've demonstrated in the past.

Yeah I noticed that too, usually in matches like this there are fewer goals around 2 goals but this time it was quite different at least 3 goals in each match. Maybe because it's early in the tournament so they're still facing easy opponents and lots of goals but when they enter the middle of the tournament, each match will be more difficult and tighter. By the way, I have not favored any team to win this tournament but I can predict several teams will reach the semi-finals.
For each team, stealing points early is their main target to ensure they advance to the next phase. Because every player is still in good shape and wants to take advantage of this opportunity, but as you said in the middle of the season there will be lots of unexpected things and what is clear is that the big countries need to anticipate. In my opinion, the teams that will advance to the final will mostly favor Germany as a strong candidate. From each group, it appears that Germany, Spain, Italy, England, the Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal are still the teams that have a real chance of continuing to progress for longer.
45  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hold position after overbought or oversold market is reached on: June 15, 2024, 08:31:17 AM
But do you notice that you can close a position but the market will continue to increase and hit more overbought or oversold position as the price will continue to increase or decrease further. Are you a kind of trader that can wait for more profit after the overbought or oversold position has been reached already?

I am thinking recently that why not hold like 10 to 25% of your trading fund to leave the position opened and close just 75 to 90%. Good idea? I mean when you think the market can still continue in the position direction that you opened.
At least securing 75% for Take Profit is quite good and the rest is just a guess because when we reach the ideal profit point most of us end the trade and don't dare take the risk of leaving it open. The method that can be said to take off is either continuing to increase or vice versa. However, as long as you have secured the occasional profit percentage, there is no harm in leaving the position open to prove whether our instincts are right or not. Because leaving a position open is the same as not implementing any strategy.

NB: I'll give it a try once in a while if it can provide something a little different. Because all this time, when I took profit, I never thought about leaving a few percent.

Mbappe will wear number 9 before moving on to number 10, which is currently owned by Modric. Modrid got a one-year contract extension. I expect him to depart the club next season, and Mbappe can take number 10 from Modric. This is similar to when Ronaldo wore the number 9 first.
Kylian Mbappe will always be the first name that comes to my mind whenever I'm talking about Los Blancos because he will definitely outshine other star players. Let's get ready to watch the fierce performance of Real Madrid next season because it's definitely going to be a tough one. Kylian Mbappe is the new signing of Real Madrid, we expects more surprising events from Real Madrid next season. Definitely a long race for the club.

Real Madrid pattern when bringing in star players almost the same as Ronaldo first came to Madrid using the back number 9, then Kylian Mbappe will also wear the same number. If I'm not mistaken before CR7, Ronaldo Nazario also initially use number 9 first. Real Madrid maintains its tradition to this day to restart the ideal squad like before. Everyone can't wait to see Kylian Mbappe debut and it will happen against Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup Final. What is clear is that Kylian Mbappe will soon make his history with Real Madrid. If it meets expectations, Real Madrid will further extend its dominance in European competitions.

Indeed the bigger winning Germany on the first Euro 2024 match, have interested statistic after Rudiger become the first player scoring own goals last night. But its not bad record for him because Germany national team success securing three points and prepare for second matchdays against Hungary to secure one ticket to 16 round phase.
 
Last night, Toni Kroos performance perfectly after success making good record as the maestro of passing without any mistake yet, he plays very well last night and seems can't acceptable his decision retired from football after Euro 2024. I am waiting his magical performance on next match against Hungary and seems still get first choose on holding midfielder against Hungary, will second match has opportunity for Toni Kroos scoring goals and increasing his amount success pass?
It is true that EURO 2024 this time gives Germany more opportunities to continue winning. It could be said that the German portion is quite promising if it succeeds in winning the trophy. Starting the journey as the home team and successfully scoring 5 goals, Germany proved that with a squad full of stars this time they could easily overcome obstacles.

Kroos return to the national team squad was the right decision, German has learned from last season that he regretted not calling Kroos to the national team. There is no doubt that as Kroos gets older his abilities become more mature, he also becomes a differentiator on the pitch with his accurate passing. As Fabrizio Romano said, Kroos accuracy is 99%.
48  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Parents on childs savings bank accounts are waste of time if not saving on BTC on: June 14, 2024, 09:31:44 AM
Assuming the parents applies this practice in Bitcoin investment, the parents would not only safe store the funds for the kid (s) to start up their desired life but has engaged the child in an investment whereas he/she will grows up, harvest the profits overtime and still keep accumulating and holding firmly the asset as a lucrative hope for his/her future.

Having the money stored in the bank would have it loose values considering the current economy situation and the possibilities that the future holds worsen economy threats.
Therein, the fiats are quite fast loosing values and inflation is distancing the stocks from gaining valuabilities.

If only the parents would understand the safety and productivity potentials in storing values in the digital assets as Bitcoin, then it would be better if they grow their kids minds of financial management and productiveness by redirecting them to Bitcoin instead of the banks.

Investors who had been in the Bitcoin industry for couple of years can attest the profitable rewards of holding and accumulating such assets on $100 monthly bases for 13 years or above depending on the kids age before getting things planned.
Should everyone be forced to buy Bitcoin? I support Bitcoin, but when it comes to determining other people finances so that their children finances must be put into Bitcoin, it is clearly very unethical. Is it mandatory for every parent to allocate funds to their child? I know you and all of us that the benefits of Bitcoin etc. but there's no real reason to force it if they don't like Bitcoin at all and don't care much about it. Because parents always have their own plans to ensure their children future. Again, investing money in Bitcoin is a matter of taste, if you give them the choice feel free to educate them about Bitcoin investment, but when it comes to judging they are wasting their time, and that is very unwise.

Finally, manchester united is now getting him as a new defender. MU needs to get rid off some its current defenders as soon as possible.

- Jarrad has already agreed personal term with manchester united.
- Everton priced him £70m, i think united will pay full amounts for him
- Jarrad is gonna receive £150,000 - £160,000 as his salary in manchester united.
Manchester United is really stupid if they agree to pay this under perform young player for 70 Million Euros when his market value is only 32 Million Euros. Jarrad will receive 3 times more of salary than Garnacho while the quality between those two players are completely different.

If I were Everton, I will definitely sell Jarrad immediately because it's a good price and they can sign underrated championship player to make money again.
Jarrad Branthwaite brought in by Manchester United? oh damn again and again Ten Hag continues with poor casting. I'm not sure the price will be worth the contribution later. Amrabat, Mount, Hojlund, Antony Onana and Martinez how is this season now adding Jarrad? Manchester United were very unlucky under Ten Hag because the most important thing was that the quality of the players they bought could never meet expectations. Don't expect the results to be better than this season, breaking into the top 4 is still difficult for Manchester United to do next season.
50  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: June 14, 2024, 09:03:47 AM
Arne slot's job is now to rebuilding liverpool again. Im not even doubting the capability of liverpool to enter into the top 4 but winning EPL? This sounds too good to be true for me to be honest.

Liverpool fans shall have lowered their expectations.

I do not expect us to win the PL title but I expect us to challenge for it and if not then Arne Slot is the wrong man for the job.

It will be interesting to see how we do, currently with the squad we have we will fall short. Two or three top class signings though and who knows.

But absolutely, if we do not qualify for the CL then I would want Slot sacked. My hopes are for a title chase potentially falling short but minimum expectations are CL qualification and a good run in 24/25 season CL, maybe 1/4 finals.
Actually, whoever will coach Liverpool will not be too much of a problem. The reason is that this season's squad itself managed to restore something that was lost last season. Klopp at his farewell really trusted Arne Slot, which proves that Klopp agrees and completely entrusts Liverpool to Arne Slot. In the EPL, Liverpool is actually the candidate who is the biggest obstacle for Manchester City and Arsenal. Make no mistake, in the midst of the struggle between Arsenal and Manchester City, Liverpool can actually take advantage of the situation to overtake. Next season, Arne Slot has lots of big plans for Liverpool and I'm sure some of the new players who will be brought in will also have quite good quality. Liverpool supporters don't need to worry about fighting for the Premier League trophy, because for now what needs to be done is that Liverpool players must immediately adapt to the new management. Liverpool can still occupy the top 3 positions, Man United, Tottenham and Aston Villa will not necessarily be consistent next season.
51  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could 72K USD be the peak for this bull run? on: June 13, 2024, 01:55:52 PM
I'll answer you because you're a newbie. I don't support or engage in Bitcoin price predictions, but I'm confident that 72k is just the beginning of the bull market. The timing and extent of the price surge are always unexpected and unpredictable. Therefore, make investment decisions independently and without being influenced by social media sentiments
After this year's halving, Bitcoin movements are much more difficult to predict, and indeed $72K may not be the end of Bitcoin price this year. Some speculations out there still believe that there will be a super megacycle with an target of $100K. But personally, I still put 50% on believing that if it happens at the end of 2024 or early 2025. There's no harm in preparing yourself thinly by taking advantage of the decline that occurs, consistent accumulation is still wort it to do.

Quote
Bayer Leverkusen complete first signing as 2005 born defender Jeanuël Belocian joins from Rennes.
This is a five-year contract, fee of almost 15m for the France U21 centre-back on Xabi Alonso’s side.

This is actually really good to see. We know that Xabi Alonso does not have a lot of money to spend right now. At least not like Bayern Munich or other very rich clubs. So Alonso is more interested in bringing in young talents who are not going to cost a lot of money and will still be able to perform well. I personally do not see any big problem with the defense of Leverkusen, especially when I look at the matches that they have played in the Bundesliga.

But when I see the performance from them in the Europa League final, I start to think that maybe the defending needs to be better. And that's probably what Alonso has also thought. That's why he has started to make the defense stronger. A young player like Jeanuël Belocian playing under a coach like Alonso, it's going to turn out to be great for this kid.

Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghPAuuBGdoQ
Just imagine Xabi Alonso with the Leverkusen squad this season is already very good, especially if from a financial perspective it is fully supported, then Xabi will be even more able to maximize the players he wants to buy. Because Xabi is a genius coach, he prefers young players whose potential he can develop. In terms of player selection, there is no doubt that Xabi has longterm goals for Leverkusen's future while investing in young players. After next season, Xabi is likely to leave Leverkusen to replace Ancelotti at Real Madrid. With the remaining time he has, Xabi wants to create his legacy first with Leverkusen.

There are always surprises in the UCL, but statistically the players Madrid have are very strong and may even be scary for other teams. But if Madrid is too confident, I'm afraid they play by degrading the opposing team so that Madrid is weak. But in some UCL matches Madrid can always make something extraordinary and that's what makes them have a tested mentality with the 15 UCL champion.

As for Man City I think they are a strong club, when the quarter-finals of the season were the final match too early because I championed Man City in 2nd place after Real Madrid. Next for next season I think Man City will make a lot of changes with player transfers. So i always prefer the two club can make more in the new season.
One thing that I have never found about Real Madrid is that they never underestimate their opponents, whether in the UCL or in La Liga, even so, Madrid will still consider their opponents to be strong and can provide tough resistance. So those who underestimated Ancelotti and his troops until now were completely wrong. For Ancelotti, now he doesn't need to think about strategy, because there is Davide Ancelotti who is always his father assistant. It was proven against Bayern Munich that he took the initiative to enter Joselu in the +80 minute because of Devide request. Almost 70% of Madrid players are controlled by Davide Ancelotti, but most of us don't realize it.

Apart from that, if you look at the UCL next season, Real Madrid's chances are bigger than this season. The entry of Mbappe and several other players who are rumored to be coming to Madrid will make Ancelotti squad even more solid next season.

So far I have not experienced any problems with exchange addresses and casinos which often send transactions back and forth to each other. I do that every time I want to bet, send from the exchange to the casino or otherwise withdraw funds from the casino to the exchange address. Even with different exchange addresses, there were no warnings and so on. I'm not a Coinbase user, if it's true what @Oshosondy said that Coinbase applies these rules, of course gamblers have to be a little careful.

Maybe I also need to double check the ToS on some of the biggest exchanges that I frequently use because they could also update the same rules due to lawsuits.

Manchester United will very likely stick with Erik Ten Haag next season, https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1800662592035451155
new contract talks are still ongoing, and their focus for next season will be with their young players like Mainoo and Garnacho, and if they will focus on young players, maybe there will be an opportunity for Greenwood return to Manchester United and become the main squad there? Man United fans reportedly don't like him after the cases he experienced, but if he can perform well at Getafe, maybe he will also be able to develop well at United next season, and United will be one of the teams with quite a young squad so they could be even stronger. in the next few seasons.
So Erik Ten Hag is staying at Man United? It's good that there is still a chance to start again and the management believes Erik Ten Hag can bring the club better, but there is no chance that during the journey when things are bad Erik Ten Hag can be fired at any time.

Actually, Man United still has a lot of young players with potential, it's just Erik Ten Hag's job to be able to cultivate these players well, but I think he can bring better even though there is always criticism.
About Greenwood what is Erik Ten Hag's decision? The news is that he is also feuding with the coach.
Even if Erik Ten Hag is retained or fired, they will still experience difficulties if they don't change the people in charge of managing players. Because this is not only Erik Ten Hag's fault, but the coaching staff and health staff who control the players' conditions also need to be improved. Learning from this season, so many players have suffered injuries, and this should have been anticipated by the health staff. In reality there is no improvement at all, the field facilities are also getting worse. Plus, Erik Ten Hag also made the wrong choice of several of the players he brought in.

Didn't the Ineos Group say that regardless of the decision in the FA Cup final, Erik Ten Hag would still be fired. but somehow the decision was withdrawn and gave the opportunity for 1 season. With conditions that will not be much different, minimal financial support cannot promise maximum results next season.

Chelsea at the end of this season has really shown their seriousness in trying to build the squad as well as possible, they are reported to have reached an agreement with several teams regarding player transfers.
Maybe this could be good start for next season considering that this season Chelsea appeared to show surprise at the end of the season even though they failed to get tickets to one of the important competitions next season.
But at least what they are doing can provide gradual change and become team that is on the right track, they have experienced various problems before, including quite frequent changes in coaches.
Now is the time for them to focus on future developments and hopefully the new coach they currently have can make all this happen, Todd Boehly must bury his ego and not try to change coaches again in the future.
With what Todd Boehly did to change coaches it was as if he didn't want to see Chelsea develop better. Doesn't this make sense when, in Pochettino hands, he was able to provide a few changes in a positive direction but was not given the opportunity to improve it next season. So don't be surprised if next season Chelsea will return with a bad performance and go through a period that is most disliked by all fans. In my opinion, if Pochettino was given one more season to prove the results would definitely be better. Boehly decisions continue to be questioned and as long as he is in his hands, Chelsea will always lose direction, especially in the Premier League.

The Real Madrid team has been strong since Pati but this season Mbappe has become even stronger due to the addition of Mbappe to the Real Madrid team.  And this season will always be top and i can say manchester city can take second place and real madrid is likely to take first place. There will be a huge fight in the points table.
OK, we all agree that Real Madrid is facing next season full of greater strength and in my opinion European teams would really hate to be in the group with Real Madrid. That's the first thing because in terms of opportunities this will be detrimental to European teams, but for elite teams like Manchester City they will try their strength again and perhaps you could say they are still curious about Real Madrid. I myself will be happy to watch the UCL next season and wait for which European team can surprise us. I also hope that Leverkusen can maximize their opportunities in the UCL.

I do hope that people will realize the full the potential of Bitcoin. It has surpassed the combined market cap of these known banks globally and if they value their money, it's not too late to invest in Bitcoin. Everyone is also free to check out that link above about to see what are the other notable and top coporations that has surpassed by Bitcoin in terms of its market capitalization.
It is possible that in the next 4 years Bitcoin will occupy the top 5 positions, with its worldwide popularity and can be adopted by anyone, the potential to encourage a larger market cap can no longer be stopped. After this year's halving, many institutions have opened up to Bitcoin and are no longer afraid of its volatility. Because with the remaining supply of bitcoin dwindling, people and institutions are increasingly fighting over the remaining bitcoin. Since this is a value issue, I think banks are eager to recognize that Bitcoin's market cap will shift them as adoption increases across a wide range of financial institutions.

Considering from Goal.com, Pep Guardiola announced had closed the door return back to Barcelona one day later after his contract expiring with Manchester City. Its bad ideas for him returning back to Barcelona because financial problem and make Pep Guardiola lack opportunities for signing top players, actually Pep Guardiola is most successful manager with Barcelona by winning all trophies from La Liga, UEFA Champion League, Copa del Rey and success making the history or treble winner for his first appearances.

Since get difficult with financial, Barcelona less interested for Pep Guardiola and seems he can't bring back Barcelona become bigger team in European because every window transfer never sign top player. Pep Guardiola decision close the door return back to Barcelona is right because he want make bad reputation with his manager career always success winning domestic league every season.


A coach like Pep Guardiola really needs a team that is truly financially stable because that way Pep can look for quality players according to the expected criteria. It makes sense that quality players certainly have the right price. Meanwhile, Barcelona currently seems more difficult to meet Pep's expectations in building an ideal squad. I will not blame Pep's decision because a club's financial stability is normal for a coach. Barcelona can learn from Real Madrid, when their finances are stable they can create the perfect squad filled with high quality players. Even though Pep Guardiola loves Barcelona, ​​in this case he is realistic and doesn't want to risk his reputation for a team that is financially bad.
