4141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a steady income haven on: June 02, 2023, 05:47:07 AM
Gambling places are not for steady income, if you want steady income with gambling, online or offline, you have to be a owner, build your own casino and watch yourself growing up into a filthy rich billionaire.
consistent income cannot be obtained by gambling or developing a casino reserves, but obtaining a decent paging job is a simpler type of steady earnings. Building your own personal casino is not something you can do at the present time; it requires critical planning and research in order to assess the upcoming problems; everything has pros and cons, and the sooner we recognize that, the less losses we will incur. Preparing the mind for greater things can result in large sums of money being earned, but if things don't go as planned, large losses will be incurred.
Why do you think that building a casino is not something one can do? As long as one has the budget and a proper business plan, one can always create a casino and it can also become successful if one hires the right people for the right jobs, especially the marketing department will have to be the best so that they can promote the casino in the best way possible to get most gamblers attracted towards the platform.

There might be a lot of competition in the market right now, but if you create a casino that provides a lot of games and betting opportunities including sports betting, your casino will surely get a success as the time goes by and if you keep working on it and don't give up.
I quite agree with almost what @borovichok said, it's you that seems not to understand him. He didn't completely condemn owning a gambling house but showed consideration for the challenges that one could face or should be prepared to face, though you are saying it as if it's easy to just go into the gambling business. Every business has its challenges and we just don't dabble in them, we have to plan and be budget conscious. A lot of people want to establish one business or another but the resources are not there, especially the money.

All the promotions, employees as you said, and also the setting up of the casinos itself required huge money. Do you know how much they register and get regulated? What if the business did not thrive for years? These are the factors the guy was trying to explain and considered paid job as the easiest way other than planning to own a casino.

There is an FA Cup finale ahead which is only two days later. Manchester City and Manchester United are going to be fighting over the title in Wembley. These teams both are teams that have achieved a title already. While Manchester City were winning the Premier League title, Manchester United won the EFL Cup. It is a big opportunity for each side to make double.

However Manchester City come a few steps forward in this game in my opinion. Because there is still going to be a week to go for the Champions League finale so they can start with all of their usual players. As we all know how prestigious cup the FA Cup is they would do their best to win this game. I don't think Manchester United can surprise them in this game.

It will be very challenging because both clubs are competing in the championship game, but just because Manchester City is competing in the Champions League doesn't mean they won't use their favorite players; they will use any of their favorite players because it is the championship game. Since Manchester City has talented players, they can still perform well the following day even if they play today. I am aware, though, that Manchester United is equally good this year and has a chance to capture the championship.
Although both clubs are from the same branch and can play each other, I'd like us to focus on Manchester City's performance instead because it appears that no team will be able to defeat them without much difficulty this season.

Pep will always want to choose his major priority, He might not want to risk his main stars to injury ahead of the Champions League finals he has laboured so hard for this season. All though his strategies are sometimes conceived till few hours to the competition, but even at that I doubt City will be using major players and even if he does he will make sure they don't get exhausted, it will be their shortest interval game, it might even be a rush game and if City succeeds in scoring during the early minutes of the game they will just return and play defensive till the end of the game since points don't count but win.

I think Guardiola knows already how important it is the game they are going to have against Inter Milan and that's why I think you are right Pep Guardiola will even save some players and give them rest in the final match against Manchester United to have a fresh team against Inter Milan since we saw a bad performance from Manchester United I think even if Guardiola give some rest to some players they can still easily win that game against Manchester United.
What you have suggested is good but I don't think Guardiola would so much pamper players because of the Champions League. These guys are used to playing multiple matches, not to talk of the UCL final that is a week after the match against Man U tomorrow. Both Inter Milan and Man U are not matches for the present Man City, Pep would manage his team well and they will just do their best as they mostly do.
4143  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC/LTC pair. Buying LTC Halving on: June 02, 2023, 04:28:22 AM
I'm trying to find a way to duplicate my BTC before the halving without incurring in high risk...

If what you’re saying is simply to double your current bitcoin holdings then I would say it is the best and less risky option. It is true that Alticoins have tendency to grow in higher percentage than bitcoin during the bull run. But the risk is higher because most of these Alticoins could just dump anytime but with bitcoin one is guaranteed a cryptocurrency coin that is a store of value and also a ROI. Also almost every increase of the entire Alticoins depends on the percentage increase of the bitcoin.

If he really wants to buy some LTC, then, don't go all in. Only sell some to buy some LTC.
Anyone can say anything to create hype for the coin they own. Check if there's strong basis why he is saying such increase.
I understand that most people are looking for ways how to increase their holdings at a short period of time.
But weigh the risk you are getting into, sometimes it is better to just hold the coin that you are very sure of.
I think the OP is new to the game, if there is anything that will shortchange Bitcoin it's definitely not LTC, experience matters, and Litecoin should not outperform Bitcoin if history would repeat itself. I'm carefully studying the behaviour and psychology of many markets, and I don't even think that Litecoin would move up to 700%, but if it does, then Bitcoin can't move less than that unless it moved even better.

If the OP must invest in an alt at all, I think there are better alternatives that could still move about 1000% in about 9 months. Those might be such that has had significant fall from their ATH.
4144  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is synthetic indices manipulated on: June 02, 2023, 04:14:36 AM
You should have run away when you luckily gained 2K through the synthetic index, it's not unusual for people to gain and lose more through it. They call it "synthetic" for a reason, no true market factors drive it, it's purely simulated, which gives room to manipulation. If you are first gaining from it, they might use that to lure you and they carefully designed it for you not to suspect a foul play. But the moment you invest your money, you will start to realize the fact, while some will make sure that you build trust in it before you start losing money.

There are lots of ways these days to get your money from people by companies, it's you that needs to be smart and deal/trade with something real and verifiable, not something that could be rigged against your position by in-house dealers.
4145  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do not rely on articles as resources to learn Bitcoin on: June 01, 2023, 08:13:31 AM
Talking about reading articles online, you can't entirely condemn them, I've known so much more about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in less than a year since I started BTT. This is even as I have never given any of your suggestions any thought. Good, unbias and reasonable articles are many on the internet and are not difficult to find for good education.

Perhaps, you are trying to advise us to avoid articles that review companies, which would be wise because almost all of them are already paid and will surely be doing the bidding of their paymaster.

With the guidance of Bitcointalk and the wisdom of the researchers, such could be avoided as everything needed would be sorted out without giving a room for sentiment.
4146  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will you support bitocin as Global reseve currency? on: June 01, 2023, 07:28:09 AM
This is needless my friend. I don't simply know where this question and comparison is even coming from, Bitcoin is decentralized, no world power would assent to that. Besides, perhaps you don't know what the "world reserve" is and what's meant to serve. If you do, then you must have known that Bitcoin can't fit into that as it has a limited supply of 21 million BTC.

The world would need far more than that for reserve.

The limited supply can't even be enough for the masses not to talk of the countries, that's even if they turn a blind eye to price stability and newness.

Quote from: RILWAN
Only luck is what stood between Arsenal and winning the league this season and the results of their recent performance have shown greatly how prepared they were towards the start of the league and this could be a preparation for the next season and luck may be on Arsenal side to win the coming season.
If Arsenal coach can create opportunity to sign in some talented players to join them in next season, I think Arsenal will not miss next season premier league title because they really prepared well in this season to lead till the end of the tournament before mighty Manchester city took over the position from them. Since Arsenal were able to secure second position till the end of the tournament, showed that they will not allow mistakes to occur next season. I believe, Arsenal president will still give the coach another opportunity to lead the team till next season, if he will be able to help the team to achieve their goal next season.

Arsenal's bench team needs to be strengthened. If not, they will not be able to fight for the title next season. The Liverpool team had a poor start to the season. But now they are strong enough. They will want to strengthen themselves in the coming season. Arsenal's main weakness this season has been the lack of suitable replacements for their players. Their performance collapsed after several players suffered injuries. And they can't get back in the truck. If they make the same mistake next season, they will not win the title and it will be difficult for them to qualify for the Champions League. This is why Arsenal has to add some talented players to the squad.
I wouldn't have a doubt that Arsenal would qualify for the Champions League next season, they can't be as poor as that, and I don't believe Arteta would let that happen. What I fear is that they might end the season between 2nd-4th place just like this last one and might keep repeating itself that way. Arsenal has truly improved but still was disappointing towards the end of this season and I don't see any justification for that. Even less clubs drew them or beat them despite having the advantage.

To me, the Arsenal team were not that desperate for the cup after many points ahead of their close rival blinded them. The morale was so low, but little did they realize that it was not over until the end of the season.
4148  Economy / Gambling / Re: is KYC data on Gambling sites safe? on: June 01, 2023, 06:37:12 AM
As we know, many gambling sites have Kyc requirements when making withdrawals. Some people may not have a problem with this condition, but some people think differently about doing Kyc. Some people refuse to fill in their Kyc data for fear of being misused. That's a natural thing, but is the worry too much?

Kyc actually has a function to prevent dangerous actions, such as money laundering. In addition, Kyc can also protect customers from account breakers.
 
Now there are several gambling sites that do not require Kyc to withdraw funds. That's good news. But I don't know if big money withdrawal need Kyc or not. I've never withdrawn much money.

Are you one of those who agree or refuse to fill out kyc on gambling sites? So far, the Kyc that you have filled in on the gambling site is safe? I've never had a problem with the Kyc that I filled out at the gambling site. Have you ever felt cheated from Kyc submitted?
Like you I make very small bets so I never had any problem with the withdrawals I ask, as this I something rare to begin with it as I usually deposit only the money I want to gamble and just leave it there until it runs out.

But on the instances in which I have asked a withdrawal then the money is sent to my address in a matter of minutes, however if I was forced to go through KYC as I obtained a massive win when I gambled then I would do so as I only gamble at some of the best casinos we have on the forum and I have no doubts about their reputation, but I will admit that if given the choice I would prefer to keep my privacy and avoid that process.
I've never kicked against KYC and never will I as this is a procedure that must be satisfied by any regulated entity. However, the regulation as good as it is in trying to protect our funds and rights might still be a reason why many would be forced to leak their data into the hands of bad people. This is real, and no matter how you think you trust a company, it's the personal integrity of the employee and management that will preserve your data.

And as for casinos, many might be using a kind of dangerous mindset for them but they are still companies. They have laws to abide by, so it shouldn't be much problem, or do we even have a choice?
4149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: May 31, 2023, 02:54:43 PM

Inter Milan has one big advantage over Manchester City and that is that they have Croatian player in their team.

I don't know if people know but last 10 Champions League winners all had at least 1 Croatian player in their team and it will be interesting to see if that tradition continues this year as well.

2013 Bayern won with Mandzukic
2014 Real won with Modric
2015 Barcelona won with Rakitic
2016 Real won with Modric and Kovacic
2017 Real won with Modric and Kovacic
2018 Real won with Modric and Kovacic
2019 Liverpool won with Lovren
2020 Bayern with Perisic
2021 Chelsea won with Kovacic
2022 Real won with Modric
2023?
As much as I want to buy this idea I still find it difficult to agree that this philosophy will have an impact on the result of this season's final game between Manchester City and Inter Milan, with or without a Croatian player on either team the best team of the day will conquer the day and if Manchester City decide to underestimate Inter Milan they might be in for a shock.
The odds are obviously high in favour of the English club, but I am sure that Pep Guardiola would not use that as a gauge of how this would turn out. Like what I know him for, all matches are to be played as if it's the last one ever, so I believe underestimating the Italian team can't be part of his thought right now. How to play more and be impressive on the pitch would be his target, and thankfully, he has a better team and the many youngsters over there would be desperate to write the winning in their Bios, so I trust that they will give their best on that day. Less than 2 weeks now and it's still counting, I am patiently waiting...
have bet on Inter Milan to win this game, i don't know how am feeling about it. Manchester city and Pep Guardiola could be disappointed in the final, they will lose it, Inter Milan is not a team to undermine in this game , they had champions league tittle in their gallery, something Manchester city doesnt have, that confidence alone is enough for inter Milan, no doubt Manchester city are in good form Right away and are favourite for the title after eliminated bayern munich and Real Madrid, that alone gave them advantage over Inter Milan. but this is final game, both team are equal and are ready to win.
Good luck to you my friend on this, but I can't go down that same path, the spelling is clearly written on the wall and it's only luck that can make Inter Milan win this final. I'm not downgrading the club but when you compare it with Man City the difference is clear. I am planning to bet this match with $500 and I don't see anything that would change my mind about that. Man City's odds to win are always lower than that of Inter to win, meaning I would have gained more if it were otherwise, but I have to follow my thorough football analysis which is always helping me make money during a crucial final match like this.

Man City would score at least two in the match, and it's part of what am betting but it's going to be on a separate ticket, experience has taught me that.
4150  Economy / Speculation / Re: Chat GPT do a TA about bitcoin on: May 31, 2023, 01:21:47 PM
For clarity's sake, I know that AIs are being used to trade, are they not trading robots or bots? But when it comes to such as ChatGPT, then the advancement comes, and so is the care so that it will not intrude into the financial market trading affair through hacking and other dangerous vices. This is why the developers of such AIs tread carefully, especially with the sector that deals with money so that they don't make a monster along the line.

So you obviously don't understand what the thread is about. The thread is about whether and how current language models are able to model bitcoin pricing based on data provided to them. This topic is definitely not about cybersecurity and the philosophy of artificial intelligence development.
Really??? As simple as your English is? Common!!! Below is your quote that I replied initially to:

Recently, I started experimenting with AI tools. They are incredible tools with tremendous potential, but also full of errors. Out of curiosity, I asked Chat GPT for predictions on future Bitcoin prices. Of course, it immediately mentioned that it only has data up until 2021. After providing it with the current data from the last six months, it generated the following prediction. What do you think of it, and what are your thoughts on the potential of AI in technical analysis?
And from the quote, only how we see the response to your ChatGPT query and our thoughts about AI in relation to TA are the only two questions that could be drawn from it. Now, going back to my first post, you would realize that I said, "If the AI has the information and capability to read the future price of the market, it won't still be productive, do you know why? It's because it will always rely only on the data at its disposal, but the market is too dynamic for that." That is the response to the first question in case you didn't read it insightfully.
 
While my general thought on AI, which is the second question on this subject matter is the rest of the body. This encompasses what present AI could do and how cautious developers have to be to avoid creating monsters in the market, which is where the violation you replied to first came in. It's part of my thought, it's an open expression since you asked for our thought.

And in case you didn't know, if AI works perfectly, it will be a matter of time before everybody knows how, and be getting rich. What do you think would happen to the market?

My dear, the bottom line is that AIs will try based on the information they have just as I iterated earlier, but still, they will fail or have very low accuracy. While developers will continue to be careful so that they don't still violate rules in coding them.

Are you clear again?
4151  Economy / Speculation / Re: Chat GPT do a TA about bitcoin on: May 31, 2023, 12:23:15 PM
1- using AI to make money in the market is not a violation of anything.
As AIs are being developed and advanced, cautiousness is also being adhered to so that it will not be in violation of anything.
You might want to read my above quote once again, maybe if read with more understanding might tell you something, and that you are out of the line. I've noticed one thing about you guys, you either take the word out of context or you don't seem to understand what you are replying to.

For clarity's sake, I know that AIs are being used to trade, are they not trading robots or bots? But when it comes to such as ChatGPT, then the advancement comes, and so is the care so that it will not intrude into the financial market trading affair through hacking and other dangerous vices. This is why the developers of such AIs tread carefully, especially with the sector that deals with money so that they don't make a monster along the line.

7% a year means around 40% after compounding for 5 years.

You must be a really really good trader Smiley

Good luck keeping your Bitcoin on brokers and exchanges... you probably know that's the worst thing you can ever do.
First, it almost shocked me when I read your post, but on second thought, I wasn't anymore since there will always be some people like you that doubt so much. It's not because that thing is not real or impossible but simply because it's impossible to/for you. Mind you, because something is impossible for you doesn't mean it's actually IMPOSSIBLE, that might only be your own limit, so don't judge or conclude for others in that regard, this is what I do.

You even baffled me more with your analogy of finding reasons to stake, perhaps you are new to the investment world, I am not, I live there. I can only trade and hold Bitcoin, I can't stake it. How would I do that when banks and some companies are still offering me between 9-12% annually? Common!!! Think before you correct someone, better still, you just avoid correcting if you don't have important things to contribute. No one doesn't like money or goes for the best offers. What you even replied to are my conclusions about Bitcoin-related investments, I possibly don't know why you criticise them when you can just say yours.

Conclusively, there have been investment opportunities around the centralised system before Bitcoin, they will not disappear of a sudden because of Bitcoin, so don't let us loud this as if it's only the crypto-related ideology of self-custody is the only way out for investors. Maybe you tell the Movers and Shakers of the financial world not to do dealing with any centralised system anymore but only self-custody crypto and see how their portfolio ironically grows. I trade and invest before crypto existence, and those companies I mentioned are well-regulated and insured and have spent over a decade with them without swindling me of my money. I also diversify in 5 of their kind in case of issues, that's wisdom.

You can't compare me with you because it's obvious that it's only crypto you know, but I deal with Bitcoin and other investments.

You're shocked to read things on this forum? I should be the one shocked by your claims but I'm not. I've seen too much things been claimed here on this forum to be shocked anymore Wink

Man if I believe in everything people say without evidence, I would believe the earth is flat, and that people make money trading crypto all the time cause they so smart.

Also I guess you didn't really read what I'm talking about. I was talking about staking Bitcoin (duh, this is the whole topic of the conversation, if you forgot), not banks and companies offering fiat interest (20% is possible like that too).

All I'm saying in summary is you're talking bullshit and misleading people. If you really hold and trade Bitcoin and make as much as you claim, then you have proof. Nobody stays for years and continuously makes money trading Bitcoin. I criticize because people like you mislead others, thinking they can do the same.

Also misleading others into thinking they're safe keeping their funds in centralized companies. Well regulated, insured, yeah, name those companies. And show us proof of your claims.

But you can't and you don't. Don't bother replying unless it comes with names and proof Smiley Or what's the point of "contributing"?
Can you imagine yourself? You still do not have anything reasonable to contribute other than deviating from the subject. If you have, explain why your style is better than mine and stop being idiotic. It's clear that I am dealing with a very low-IQ individual because I don't know what proof a reasonable person needs when I said I can only trade and hold Bitcoin other than staking because they are more productive, while the other additions are secondary, anyone could do things their way, it mustn't be your way, okay? And for the record, this is a discussion, not a piece of investment advice, so wake up and stop disgracing yourself through your nonsense overbearing nature when it's clear you know nothing but just messing around. And by the way, who are you to be commanding me to show you proof? Why not take it under your pilot?

And frankly, why is it that you are the only one complaining even though your complaints are so foolish? You can't even reasonably explain simply why staking is better constructively but just criticising. Investors could do things their way, do it your way, it must not be the same thing, Mr perfect. This is the reason why people like you will never grow, you doubt and will never see beyond what your tiny brain could take you.
4153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 31, 2023, 06:44:51 AM
Indeed Bayern Munich luckily secured the title. Bayern Munich were nowhere near the kind of performances they had in Dortmund in the last few games. I really feel sorry for the Dortmund team now.

As much as I wanted Dortmund to win the Bundesliga this season, I will not join those who claim that Bayern won the cup with luck, luck doesn't work that way. What you just saw was a demonstration of the power of fate, not luck. Are you turning a blind eye to the number of matches that each club played to get to the final?

Not to talk of the ups and downs that could be plainly seen on both the sides of Bayern and Dortmund. The sides were switching the top post for some time during the match and as time goes on towards the end Bayern was displaced from the 1st place and Dortmund took over, and now again Dortmund lost and Bayern took over and won the cup. And you are saying this is luck? No justification for that. The season was keenly contested by the two rivals and fate crowned Bayern.
Luck does not need to start from the beginning of the season to the end of the season. The luck that is being discussed in this context happened at the final match day of the Bundesliga.
What are you even saying? Well, I must say that it baffles me as many of you might still not know the difference between luck and fate. Can you hear yourself, luck at their final play? Bayern and Dortmund played with different teams and Bayern was impressive in their first and second half scoring to win Koln while Dortmund drew Mainz, and you are here calling it luck? Go and check the definition of luck maybe you know better.

Two goals are never luck to me, and as much as I wanted Dortmund to win as an underdog team, they blew away their chance. It's a tourney, and fate will always crown the most deserving team, stop calling it luck, they also gave good efforts.

Stefano Pioli's men only need one point to secure a ticket to the Champions League ahead of the match against Juventus, but because in that match they won automatically they are very safe and no one can chase their points in the top four of the standings. The match against Verona will not affect any results for AC Milan, so Pioli can relax a bit and doesn't need to field the main squad and can instead try to play his youth squad.

I'm a bit surprised with the results, I think Milan will be lose on this match. Lucky for Milan, they can manage to win. Pioli need to do something next season, because if AC Milan still like this, maybe they wouldn't qualified for UCL. This season AC milan lucky, becasue Juventus get a sanction. As your opinion, Milan need to  focus for better playing style for every matches.
Milan was very lucky due to the point reduction that Juventus had to accept. Then Pioli's troops were also able to take advantage of the situation that the Bianconeri were experiencing because their mentality was indeed down. Now for the additional three points, Milan's position has secured its position in the top four of the standings. The last match no longer affected Milan's position, Pioli was quite relieved by such a situation.
I never knew they would play the Champions League this season. Still, it's people that forget too easily, the pended court case of Juventus was still there and I didn't expect them to turn a blind eye to it. This is another lesson for them that believe that they can go against the rule because they have more money and I wish them the best of luck next season. Is AC Milan then lucky? I say yes, this is because their performance wouldn't have earned them that, they would have been 2 points short of their present standing.

As for Stefano Pioli, it's one of his best moments now, he and his side didn't perform so badly this season and ware impressive with their play in the UCL this season, so it's plus for them.

If.you have watched the match between Arsenal and Chelsea you will know why Asernal deserve to win this seaon more than anyother club who will posibly be the winner, because with their level of motivation even as their already lost tge first spot shows a team that is ece ready to win unlike Manchester city who is still playing raw or losing matches at this stage of the league.
I'm not sure if you really watched the match between Arsenal and Chelsea even though the match took place on May 3 and at that time Manchester city's performance was in a very strong state compared to Arsenal.
So I think you are not telling the truth.
I have to align with you here as @RILWAN is saying what he doesn't know. How can a true viewer of football still say that Arsenal deserves to win the cup more than Man City, that's just out of it, the whole world knows that the only team that deserved it most is Man City. The situation is like this, at the beginning of the season, Man City was better, and later Arsenal took over until after the World Cup. But they couldn't sustain this and it's clear with their missed opportunities of losing and drawing while Man City was just beating any clubs that comes their way.

This is not luck but a deserved moment for Man City, they always deliver on the pitch and people have been signing their impressive praises, so that guy doesn't surely know what he said.

Approximately $460 million was spent buying Bitcoin, resulting in a loss of over $239 million. Perhaps this investor did not know that the DCA strategy is better to use for a longer period, or perhaps he found a more profitable investment.
All I see is an unwise/inexperienced person trying to aggressively invest in Bitcoin if such is truly buying it newly but I doubt that. This person might already have his coins and trying to safely keep them in many other addresses. Regardless, educating ourselves on how to invest is so important, this is as reading the chart is vital so that we will not just be blind investors. Imagine someone started investing around the peak point of Bitcoin and continues to pump it despite the market being in a long-term bearish phase is foolishness.

But thanks to Bitcoin, the monetary value could be lost for a long time through this, but in the end, such would still laugh if the coin could be kept untouched as the future of Bitcoin is getting more promising every day.

That said, the DCAing should also not be faulted here, there is no perfect approach for it, but one should be more speculative to know when it's a no-no to invest in the market at some times. These are times when the market is obviously bearish in trend.

Inter Milan has one big advantage over Manchester City and that is that they have Croatian player in their team.

I don't know if people know but last 10 Champions League winners all had at least 1 Croatian player in their team and it will be interesting to see if that tradition continues this year as well.

2013 Bayern won with Mandzukic
2014 Real won with Modric
2015 Barcelona won with Rakitic
2016 Real won with Modric and Kovacic
2017 Real won with Modric and Kovacic
2018 Real won with Modric and Kovacic
2019 Liverpool won with Lovren
2020 Bayern with Perisic
2021 Chelsea won with Kovacic
2022 Real won with Modric
2023?
As much as I want to buy this idea I still find it difficult to agree that this philosophy will have an impact on the result of this season's final game between Manchester City and Inter Milan, with or without a Croatian player on either team the best team of the day will conquer the day and if Manchester City decide to underestimate Inter Milan they might be in for a shock.
The odds are obviously high in favour of the English club, but I am sure that Pep Guardiola would not use that as a gauge of how this would turn out. Like what I know him for, all matches are to be played as if it's the last one ever, so I believe underestimating the Italian team can't be part of his thought right now. How to play more and be impressive on the pitch would be his target, and thankfully, he has a better team and the many youngsters over there would be desperate to write the winning in their Bios, so I trust that they will give their best on that day. Less than 2 weeks now and it's still counting, I am patiently waiting...

Recently, I started experimenting with AI tools. They are incredible tools with tremendous potential, but also full of errors. Out of curiosity, I asked Chat GPT for predictions on future Bitcoin prices. Of course, it immediately mentioned that it only has data up until 2021. After providing it with the current data from the last six months, it generated the following prediction. What do you think of it, and what are your thoughts on the potential of AI in technical analysis?
As AIs are being developed and advanced, cautiousness is also being adhered to so that it will not be in violation of anything. Despite this, many are still complaining and some clamours for the halt of the Al projects which I think is not possible at this early stage. Besides, what you stated above could only mean that ChatGPT on its own is being limited to some features and clues about the market so that people would not be using it to chase shadows for their selfish interests, which will, in turn, violate some rules of the financial market. Nonetheless, if the AI has the information and capability to read the future price of the market, it won't still be productive, do you know why?

It's because it will always rely only on the data at its disposal, but the market is too dynamic for that, it can't be rigged by any robot, and there is no central control for the financial market. Conclusively, there is no holy grail anywhere and there will never be.

Bayern's got a thousand lives, eh?

I was really rooting for Dortmund and I still feel that they deserved the title. The table does not lie though - and this example shows why we all love football.

Dortmund had 14 wins in 16 home games before this week, Mainz had 4 losses in a row with 3-13 goal difference.
Doesn't mean much though when everything in a game goes the other way.

Funnily enough - Mainz gave Dortmund the chance for the title when they won 3-1 against Bayern a month ago. A great way to finish the championship for the neutrals, but hell for the team waiting for the title since Klopp.
Indeed Bayern Munich luckily secured the title. Bayern Munich were nowhere near the kind of performances they had in Dortmund in the last few games. I really feel sorry for the Dortmund team now.
Yeah of a truth, Bayern Munich winning of this season's German Bundesliga title should be attributed to luck. After they were beaten in their previous fixture before the final fixture in Saturday while Borussia Dortmund win in that same weekend to overtake them at the top of the league, I was of the opinion that Dortmund are gonna put a break to Bayern Munich's dominance in the domestic but little did I know that even before their exploding home fans, Dortmund will go on to hold Mainz on a 2:2 draw.
As much as I wanted Dortmund to win the Bundesliga this season, I will not join those who claim that Bayern won the cup with luck, luck doesn't work that way. What you just saw was a demonstration of the power of fate, not luck. Are you turning a blind eye to the number of matches that each club played to get to the final?

Not to talk of the ups and downs that could be plainly seen on both the sides of Bayern and Dortmund. The sides were switching the top post for some time during the match and as time goes on towards the end Bayern was displaced from the 1st place and Dortmund took over, and now again Dortmund lost and Bayern took over and won the cup. And you are saying this is luck? No justification for that. The season was keenly contested by the two rivals and fate crowned Bayern.

I can confirm this from Reuters and it's so disheartening to me as it shows that the world doesn't seem to align in one voice against a tyrannical country like Russia that invaded a sovereign state. I can't just see any justification for that, and of which many souls have avoidably lost just because tyranny is hungry for power.

For countries to be dealing heavily with Russia in this wartime is inhumane as it is tantamount to supporting his senseless war in Ukraine. Dealing with them with precious metal is a way to empower the nation and the war which I believe is bad without mincing words. According to Reuters, Temis Luxury Middle East has imported 15.6 tonnes to UAE in less than a year, the worth is placed at $863 million and the transaction was between February 24, 2022 - March 3, 2023.

Very soon, this amount will reach $1B. I see a reason that the world will never unite no matter worth, and I know that Russians would be selling it to the royal state cheaply, and it means more money for them as they are always business-oriented. But unfortunately empowering Russian to kill more people.
