Feyenoord v Roma is a really good matchup. I expect both matches to be lovely to watch. Roma beat them twice when they played against Feyenoord in the ECL finale and EL quarter finals. But they weren't comfortable ones as Feyenoord resisted well against them. Here in this stage I expect the same determination from Feyenoord. In the end Feyenoord qualified for the ECL finale before. I expect them to be competitive in the EL as well. They couldn't do better in the Champions League because their group was a really tough one.  Sad

When it comes to Roma they must give their best for this matchup to move on. Joining the Champions League this season is really important for Mourinho one way or another.
Roma are favorites in the match against Feyenoord. The first leg was played at Feyenoord's home ground, which means Roma can maximize their home match in the second leg. Roma only needs to draw in the first leg and ensure victory in the second leg. Mourinho will think about a scenario like this, and as one of the smart coaches, Mourinho is more likely to be able to qualify for the next round of the Europa League.

So far Feyenoord is runner up in the Eredivisie by collecting 38 points in 16 matches. Meanwhile, Roma, who have also played 16 matches, only collected 25 points from 7 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. Performance-wise, both teams have performed differently in their respective domestic leagues, but personally I tend to give Roma and Mourinho more confidence.

Today's games were kind of tricky to predict. I didn't know what team or options to bet on, especially the Sevilla vs Granada game. I knew Sevilla had the upper hand to win because of how bad Granada has been this season, but I had to put tge inconsistency of Sevilla into consideration.
Fortunately for Sevilla, they're not going to have any problems today from Granada. Sevilla is 2- nil up in the first half and except a very funny drama happens in the second half, 3 points is sure for Sevilla. I wish I had taken the risk to bet on Sevilla.

In other news, Atletico seem to understand the assignment. I played them to win and they're winning. Although things might get tricky in the second half because Savic has received a second yellow card and he's out of the game.
Knowing Atletico Madrid, they would go into full defense mode in the second half. I'm hopeful because the goal came after the red card, meaning they can still score even if they're a man down .
Atletico Madrid and Sevilla must really be able to take advantage of this match to get maximum points. Atletico Madrid and Sevilla both dropped points in their last matches against Athletic Bilbao and Getafe, so there is no better reason not to win today's match. Sevilla's victory will quench the thirst for all their fans, but Atletico must win to create a points gap with Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid will get 2 points higher than Barcelona this week if they manage to win this match. Of course things became difficult when they had to play with 10 players in the second half, but the chance of winning was still good. Sevilla will improve their position in the standings this week, if they win then Sevilla will have to party all night.

At first, I was thinking that Champions League fixtures together with League fixtures will be much for Inter Milan to lead them to dropping some points for Juventus to overtake them in the title race, but they are able to maintain their consistency in all competition and were still at the top of the Seria table.
Now that the Champions' League group stage is over, they have time to settle down and keep their consistency in order to win the League because only Juventus come close with 37 points, and for Juve to overtake them, they need to be winning all their matches including their match against Inter Milan.
No one should underestimate Inter this season in any competition they are involved in. They were runners up in the Champions League last season when they were beaten by Manchester City and they were the third team in the Serie A standings last season. This season Inter are doing better to gain success, but no one knows for sure how far they will be able to compete in Serie A and the Champions League, especially to win the title.

The title competition in Serie A this season is just about Inter and Juventus. Milan, Bologna and Napoli will compete for safety in the Champions League places, but they could also put pressure on the leaders as they all hope for points. The competition for the Champions League zone will be tougher than the title competition, this is evident from the points earned by each team in the 16 matches so far.

Why do you say that is the target? I would like to know a clearer reason for this because the target of many people now is to see a new ATH in Bitcoin after the halving and now the price support above $40K is a very good thing for this year and is very desired by many people. But if you still want to buy Bitcoin below $40K, don't say that is the next target for Bitcoin because the potential price increase will be more visible after a price correction in a trend like now.
Price corrections are normal, but it's good that bitcoin price failed to test its bottom support again today. Bitcoin price has moved against resistance where $42k has been broken currently. I think people make decisions too easily during a correction, so now the correction target has failed.

As I write this, the price is hovering around $42,600, so perhaps we'll get the $43k break in the near future as well. Of course, this is very possible because negative sentiment in the market is not greater than positive sentiment. Let's look forward to what will happen next.

They know the condition of the team, so Man United did not come out much pressing Liverpool players. They are more waiting for mistakes and counterattacking. Looking at the statistics of the match it was also proven, Liverpool had the ball and even made very many attempts at kicks on goal. This was the best result, they were able to hold a draw there was an improvement in quality. I think Ten Hag is also thinking about the future of being a coach at Man United. This is because many rumors are getting bored with how to train him.
Of course Liverpool tried their best to score a goal against Manchester United, but everything failed because Manchester United's defense was very good. Manchester United really wanted to steal points at Anfield and they did it perfectly, but I admit Liverpool performed well at home.

Liverpool's failure to win at home made Arsenal take over the standings. Liverpool have a chance to take it back in another tight match against Arsenal, but I don't think Arsenal will let it go so easily. The two best managers will clash tactically, but Arteta looks like he will do something to maintain his team's top position. If Liverpool and Arsenal draw, Aston Villa and Manchester City will take advantage of the profits. If Liverpool and Arsenal draw, then Aston Villa will lead the standings for longer if they manage to win their home match against Sheffield.

By the way, I immediately noticed this match, as the most difficult, I mean that it is not clear who is the favorite, and I may even be inclined to believe that Atlético has a good chance of beating Inter. City and Bayern will most likely not have any problems with their rivals, and Real and Leipzig will play productive football, but Real will most likely beat Leipzig as well.
It will be very interesting to see the results of the draw for the round of 16, especially seeing Leipzig being Real Madrid's opponents. It's all very easy to expect because I think Leipzig will be closer to failure this season in the Champions League. Nothing can stop Real Madrid and I believe Real Madrid can progress to the next round easily.

Barcelona, Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid will not necessarily qualify, they have really tough opponents to beat. The only team that has big hopes from La Liga is Real Madrid, the rest depends on how they knock out their opponents at home.

What you say is quite correct, in fact I have been doing it for the last 1 year by stacking with DCA. First of all, we have to be consistent in continuing to buy at maturity and don't worry about short-term price movements because that can doubt the decision. After we go through 10 stages of purchasing with dca, you will be more confident in continuing to buy because our confidence will grow in continuing to buy at each stage. I make purchases every 2 weeks and I only make two purchases a month.

However, there are also those who make purchases every week, but it all depends on the strategy they apply. Those who implemented DCA purchases in the last year were lucky enough to be able to buy BTC at a cheaper price of $20k at that time. The best thing is to buy and keep holding and don't sell all your BTC holdings if you are in an economic crisis, sell just a little and when your economy recovers you can budget back funds to continue buying BTC.
It doesn't matter how you do DCA either weekly or bi-weekly. The important thing is; You do it consistently as long as you have an income. The problem experienced by most people is the inconsistency of income which makes them unable to determine the investment period regularly. If you manage to set aside a budget of $50 a week, it's best to do DCA every week rather than doing it every two weeks. But of course you can do it based on your own wishes and which one is best in your opinion.

But sometimes you also need to consider a lump sum, it is a good option to get more bitcoin at a low price; for example when the correction is more than 5%. I've done it a few times this year, but DCA is the one I prioritize.
428  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You must have a source on: December 17, 2023, 09:43:11 PM
Op is exactly right, it's just a simple truth that if you don't have a source regular of income, you're bound to using money from an investment (or go into debt, but I don't think it's a better option). So having a source of income is highly desirable, although not always under one's control. Sometimes a situation with the job market can be very challenging, or someone might have unexpected expenses that need to be covered. In that case, it's reasonable to sell some of the investment, even at a loss, IMO.
As for a section, I think it belongs to Economics more than to Bitcoin Discussion.
I'm not sure why someone would ruin his investment plans if he really had them in mind in the first place. I mean, every investor should consider a reserve budget before investing in anything. The reserve budget is intended to ensure that investment plans remain the same without being disturbed by financial needs at other times such as urgent needs.

This is the importance of planning in investing and in my opinion it is appropriate for someone to think first before doing it. Having an emergency fund or reserve budget is important because it can provide a good option for investors when they need urgent funds.

PSG team is in very good form now. Their achievement in 15 matches is 36 points. On the other hand, Nice, who is second in the table, has earned 32 points in 16 matches. If PSG wins today's match, they will go 7 points ahead of Nice.

Opponent Lille team is not weak. We can't remember the last time we saw a Lille team lose. This team has not been defeated in any match for a long time. In the last 5 matches they won 2 matches and drew the remaining 3 matches. The defense of the Lille team is very strong. They have conceded just 11 goals this season. If Lille's defense is solid against PSG, this match is also likely to be a draw. But if PSG can dominate and win this match then they will not have to face any problem to win this year's title.
Currently Lille is still 0-1 behind PSG. Meanwhile PSG is still trying to score the second goal which they have so far failed to achieve, but considering there is still time, I think PSG can make good use of it. PSG seemed to have difficulty scoring the second goal because of Lille's good defense, but of course it wouldn't be a problem if PSG could maintain that narrow lead until the end.

Luis Enrique has indeed performed well in Ligue 1 this season with 3 draws and 1 defeat, but Enrique must be very capable of maintaining it because the Ligue 1 title is the most realistic title to achieve. PSG are not very good in the Champions League which means they have to be very focused on Ligue 1 and remain leading the standings with a large points gap from Nice and Monaco.

I watched the Liverpool-M.United game, to be honest, I didn't enjoy it very much. Both teams were careful and it ended in a draw.
In fact, Liverpool tried as hard as they could to win it, but didn't succeed because Manchester United's defense was quite good in that match. Moreover, it wasn't a boring match, especially since both teams both wanted to get points, but in the end both had to surrender to share one point.

I regret the red card that Dalot received in that match. The referee should not have reacted too harshly to what Dalot did, that would have been ridiculous because the tension in the match was so high. Had wondered if he deserved it, but Dalot failed to control his emotions and that was bad.

Arsenal won 2-0 and are top of the league. I hope they become champions this year because they should be now, we want the old Arsenal.
Yes, Arsenal won the match and therefore they managed to lead the standings this week. The Liverpool vs Manchester United draw was welcomed by Arsenal, but the points gap is very low between Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester City.

Real Madrid vs Villarreal

The first half is over and Real Madrid doesn't seem to have any trouble winning this match. Bellingham and Rodrygo put Real Madrid ahead in the first half with one goal each, so I think Real Madrid will secure their lead in the standings over Girona.

Talking about Bellingham, this player is truly special. Bellingham has given a new color to Real Madrid's game this season and he often scores goals and changes the direction of the game. He is one of the players who is getting better day by day, it is true that Real Madrid brought him in because at Bellingham he seems to be a striker who plays as a midfielder.

However, Real madrid's centre back injury woes continue with alaba being the latest patient. Real Madrid now has only two fit centre backs (Rudiger and Nacho) with all the other 4 being injured.
It's not good, but I hope Alaba doesn't suffer a very serious injury. He's needed because the defense won't be any stronger than it looks.

Anytime Crystal Palace has a match against Crystal Palace at home, they struggle to win even if they lead with a goal, Palace is always good at rebounding at their neck and making sure City concede a goal. I stopped watching the match when Manchester City led with 2 goals to nill against Palace only to see that the table was the same. I am beginning to see the Haaland effect and most importantly KDB absence because I'm sure that if those two were to have started that match, they would have done a lot of fatality to Crystal Palace but it is weird to me how Palace came back with 2 goals against the city under 38 minutes left for the game.

Guardiola might have his reason better than what most people are assuming but technically, this doesn't make sense why he didn't used him but maybe he think they are at home and they will dominate and it does almost happen but in the end, it turn the other way. There is Champions League break for now, it's better he make full use and potential of those players now that the league is not yet half, if they reach middle it will become more competitive and tough and to catch up will be hard by then.
Basically, Manchester City appeared very dominant in the match against Crystal Palace, but they were very unlucky in securing their lead. A mistake late in the second half destroyed Manchester City's hopes of victory, especially as Crystal Palace were awarded a penalty. Manchester City continued to perform well in many matches even without De Bruyne, but failed to maintain their lead due to defense.

Pep Guardiola must be able to solve this problem of inconsistency quickly if he still wants to maintain his title dominance for four consecutive seasons, but honestly I don't expect Manchester City to continue doing this every season. Liverpool and Arsenal must be able to take advantage of Manchester City's current situation, meaning they must be able to gain lots of points to stay ahead of Manchester City.

Has anyone watched the Valencia vs Barcelona match?
The match was fierce with high tension until the end of the first half. Barcelona and Valencia both did their best from the early minutes, but no goals were scored until the end of the first half. Barcelona appeared impressive at home to Valencia, they seem very likely to win this match if they are able to do the same in the second half.

Xavi, who was seen on the sidelines, was very worried about what his team was starting to suffer. Either because of internal pressure or maybe because he was starting to lose self-confidence. But on his face, there was a huge pressure radiating that made it possible for him to be in trouble.

Yes that's right. Even though all of Erik Tan's players have been chosen, Man United is still inconsistent. I think United fans are probably the only community in England who want to protest against the club owners. However, the results did not match expectations. In the current era, I see this team only as a commercial team. Whatever the condition, in terms of trend they are still selling as public figures, in the end, performance seems to no longer be a priority.

I used to think that at that time Man United really chose Zidan/Pochetinno as coach, but in the end they chose Erik Ten Hag, whose name may have become a little famous when he succeeded in bringing Ajax to the UCL semi-finals.
Manchester United is still a big team, but they seem to have lost their identity as a big team. Ten Hag haven't completely failed this season in the Premier League, but I agree their performance has been less than stable. Ten Hag failed to bring Manchester United through to the last 16 of the Champions League and he has the right to be blamed for this failure, but I still understand that this was not his wish.

Ten Hag must try as hard as possible to prove that they have not finished in the Premier League. They must be able to compete for a place in the top 4, although I admit that this is difficult to achieve. The players have to work hard to bring out all their abilities like last season, in contrast to this season which seems to have decreased a lot.

Manchester City currently requires a new player based on their league match statistics, which is very poor in performance. Pep Guardiola manages the club's positions very tactically. He was preoccupied with the club's current state; everything was falling apart at Manchester City, and the fans were pleading for improvement. The absence of Kelvin De Bruyne has had a significant impact on Real Madrid's match performance. They're underweight, and there's nothing left for them this season perhapes they can bounce back to winning ways.
Manchester City fans hope for change and improvement, while fans of the other 19 teams are very grateful for the situation experienced by Manchester City. In England, Manchester City is a team that is hated because of its dominance in the last few seasons, but Pep Guardiola doesn't think about that and only focuses on the continuation of his team. You may be right that increasing squad depth is an important thing for Manchester City to consider this season. They need a midfielder as good as De Bruyne, but I think that's a difficult thing.

But whatever it is, Manchester City is a big team that has the potential to return to its best performance without losing. The first half did not live up to expectations, but they still have the second half of the season to launch their rocket and compete closely at the top of the standings. To this day, player injuries have affected Manchester City's performance.

Sevilla 0-3 Getafe

The Sevilla team also conceded a humiliating defeat against Getafe. Sevilla's performance is not improving this season. Out of 16 matches, they won only 2 matches and lost 7 matches. I can't remember the last time I saw Sevilla score 3 points.

The Getafe team was not very strong. I thought Sevilla would be able to draw today's match. The Sevilla team failed to perform well in the home match as well. Getafe's performance was much better than Sevilla's. And the team deserves to win this match. After leading 2-0 in the first half, Getafe scored another goal in the second half. But Getafe were lucky. They scored both goals from penalty kicks.
Sevilla, it's true they are in very bad form this season. They have not been able to prove the expected improvement and Sevilla have even had to fight hard to avoid the relegation zone this season. This team has a lot of good players, but perhaps some changes in the line-up should be considered soon. They still failed to win the game and that was a result of the team's inability to maximize its capabilities, so of course they had to think about urgent changes.

The decline in the team's performance has actually occurred since last season, but at that time Sevilla still had good motivation to win many important matches and their success in winning the Europa League title was good proof. Sevilla needs a good striker this season and they must take advantage of the next transfer market to get him.

Trading and gambling are almost the same, in fact traders can still be considered gambling if they only rely on luck. Without analysis, traders just bet their money on a coin in the hope that demand in the market will increase and that affects its value, but trading something that starts with analysis can be interpreted as not gambling.

Trading coins or tokens that have no real use is gambling. I don't see any reason why demand for such a coin would increase if not for market manipulation by some groups, but when the coin has utility then I think there are good fundamentals to expect an increase in interest.

Is incredible how this Atletico Madrid is wasting the chance to be on top of the league, always when they have a little chance waste it agains X team, on this day against Bilbao who is a very hard team to beat on San Mames, but anyways they need to overcome this issue if they want to become champions.
Bilbao is a very difficult team to beat, so Atletico Madrid's defeat at San Mames is normal. However, Atletico Madrid, who dominated possession of the ball, failed to create many goal opportunities, which meant they couldn't score a single goal until the end of the match. Bilbao, who played at home, played much more effectively in building attacks. They lose in possession, but they excel in other statistics such as total chances and shots on goal.

Atletico Madrid's defeat is an advantage for Barcelona, ​​meaning that Barcelona has automatically equaled Atletico Madrid's points in the same number of matches. Barcelona will play an away match against Valencia soon, and that will put Barcelona 3 points ahead of Atletico Madrid if Barcelona is really able to beat Valencia.

Many people succeed in getting numbers close to predictions when Bitcoin is in a good trend, but on the contrary, many predictions fail when Bitcoin is in a negative trend.

You are right, there are gamblers who have really won big in gambling and there are gamblers who have been successful but we will never know how much gambling capital they have spent gambling because gamblers tend to hide their total losses and they will show off low profits. However, my opinion is that successful gamblers have made high profits but they withdraw all the profits and still gamble within the limits of funds, they do not gamble on all types of gambling but focus on sports gambling that has been analyzed to have a high chance of winning, successful gamblers can also handle risk of loss and not force them to gamble if they feel hesitant to bet.
Yes, that makes sense. A different scenario would just keep him in the same situation, meaning he loses again after winning. There are gamblers who can win bets consistently, but I think the ratio is 1:1000, if there is one. All skill-based betting categories have a higher chance of winning than others, but to win all bets consistently they require 100% luck.
