Real Madrid is really willing to let Lunin go? Why?  I mean in Courtois' absence he did a great work as you can remember. I was even wondering whether Courtois would need some time to take his place back. Lunin is a wonderful goalkeeper so Chelsea should go for him absolutely. Kepa didn't perform consistently during his time at Chelsea. Lunin would easily be the main goalkeeper for Chelsea if this swap deal happens. By the way while saying "swap + money deal", how much are we talking about? Normally there is a gap around 10 million euros between their market values. But after that effort, Real Madrid might want more for Lunin.  Source: https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/matteo-moretto-transfer-column-dani-050000320.htmlGoing for Lunin Makes more sense instead of going for Kepa. Lunin is definitely the more reliable one in this comparison. With him you can relax and say that he is going to give you a decent performance. On the other hand with Kepa you get really trashy performance on one day, and on the other day you get some positive and incredible performance. Something I definitely do not like from a goalkeeper. There is a reason why every coach is interested in bringing in goalkeepers who can actually handle the ball well and has good distribution along with good positioning and reflex instead of bringing in a goalkeeper who only has incredible reflex and nothing else. I definitely am not going to blame Real Madrid if they ask for more for Lunin. That is very much understandable in my opinion. |

The second test match was won by the Bangladesh A team as well, this time not for the Pakistan A team.
It was seen in the last match the Pakistan A team gave too high target and their players also hit there centuries but this time, the Bangladesh bowlers performed too well and in the Bangladesh batting, there was not too much improvement.
This time the Pakistan team was not performing in the first innings otherwise there were the chances for the Pakistan A to win it. However, there are still two matches left but those are the ODIs and the test series has been drawn.
The Bangladesh A team was able to win the match against the Pakistan A team. But Radis was able to do it barely. Bangladesh definitely performed to actually be able to win this match. But there was every chance for the Pakistan A team to actually win this match. I agree that the Bangladeshi bowling unit made a good comeback. in this match bangladeshi bowlers were actually able to restrict the pakistani players. As we know, you need to bowl out your opponent cheaply once in a test match that is going to be enough. And that is what happened. Bangladesh was able to bowl out pakistan cheaply in pakistans first innings. That made things possible for the bangladesh a team. |

Sri Lanka have always been in great form in the final match of WOMEN'S ASIA CUP T20, 2024. India Women team won the torch and batted first, but did not do much better with the batting as they managed to score only 165 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. But India Women team performed very well in all other matches, but they could not do very well in front of Sri Lanka Women team, also Sri Lankan team is very hard team, they showed great performance in batting, they lost only 2 wickets, and Sri Lankan team Captain Chamari Athapaththu scored 61 runs and Harshitha scored 69 runs, these 2 players played brilliantly in today's match. However, the Sri Lankan women's team won the game very easily today's WOMEN'S ASIA CUP T20, 2024 final match, by losing only 2 wickets in 18.4 overs.
 You know, I can't say that 165 is that bad of a score in a T20 match of women’s cricket. India actually put on a decent score in my opinion. The problem is, India was unable to bowl and fielding well. And looking at the track later on, either it became really easy for the batter to score or it was a far better track than only 165. When I saw that India actually gave a target of 165, I thought Sri Lanka women are not going to be able to chase that down successfully. But Sri Lanka played really well and in the end won pretty comfortably. A win by eight wickets and having eight balls left against a team like India is definitely a great result for any team in the women’s cricket. Lankan Women just made a history by winning their first Women's Asia Cup title. |

Washington Freedom won the final match as well. The player of the match is Steven Smith and he made 88 in the final and if just imagine, he was out early as his teammates lost their wickets early then there was chances for the Washington Freedom to lost this match but thankfully the main player Steven Smith worked on the final. He has done his responsibility, while on the other hand, Tarvis Head has not made goos runs, he was out at the start by making the 9 score and after this he lost his wicket as well. In the full MLC series, he was the main player for the Washington Freedom so he is the player of the series as well.  This was actually kind of disappointing because I expected the final to be a little more competitive. After all this was the final of the competition. And I always want to see a good competitive final match. Not a match where a team is able to win with a big difference. But sadly that’s what happened in the MLC final match. San Francisco unicorn was unable to reach even anywhere near to the target that was posted by Washington freedom. Washington freedom was able to win by 96 runs in the final match. Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell put on an incredible show for the viewers in the last match. I can say duo of captain Smith & coach Ricky Ponting was working fine to bag the cup. In reply to that, the San Francisco unicorn was unable to do anything. A one-sided final but congratulations to Washington freedom. |

A very old team in Scotland cricket I still remember the year 2015 where this team had a remarkable performance in the World Cup tournament but then they were not seen in any major tournament. This team may not have enough facilities like the professional teams, that's why they could not improve as much as they were supposed to improve in cricket. They try to exploit every opportunity they get. Bigger than the win against Namibia, they batted up to 50 overs and managed to accumulate 300 plus runs on the scoreboard. Scotland is a small team in cricket so their 300 plus runs in 50 overs is certainly a big achievement.
However, performing well in one match cannot be stuck there, the consistency of performance must be maintained. I would like to tell the management of Scotland Cricket Board that they should give this team the opportunity to play enough series so that this team's skills will develop a lot and this team will actually do well like the World Cup.
The team is very old in cricket but they have not been able to move forward accordingly. They sometimes perform well but fail to maintain the consistency you already mentioned. At one time they were staying in the same position with Ireland Cricket but Ireland Cricket improved a lot but Scotland could not change their position. To improve the cricket of a country, of course, the support of the government of that country is necessary. I don't know how much support they are getting or what problems are going on their cricket. But if they had taken this cricket seriously from the beginning then the team would have definitely reached a higher position. The way we have seen Afghanistan improve is rare in cricket history. What I understand is that to do well in cricket, the love for cricket must grow. It is time for ICC to actually think about expanding cricket as a game towards the whole world. And it is also time for them to actually enforce some law that only the citizens of a country should actually be able to play in the national team. it is not good to see a team that is actually interested in cricket get smoked by a team that is made of Indian and Pakistani players. Anyway, Scotland has been able to show good performance recently. They have been very competitive and that is one thing I really like about them. They will have to keep this up and they will definitely need a lot more than they are getting right now if they actually want to Improve their ranking. But that is the thing, they will need help from both the ICC and the cricket board of Scotland |

One-Day Cup
Sussex lost in this match and they played poor. Warwickshire is a strong team and wining the match not this one but also won in all 3 previous games. Warwickshire chased a record of total runs for 174 and won the match. Sussex made a bad record total 173 and lost the match. Warwickshire won this game by 1 wickets and with 35 balls and very difficult win. Warwickshire won the toss and batting first. Warwickshire should showed excellent teamwork and skill on the field. I hope Sussex they will play better in the next match. Warwickshire have made their fans very happy for Warwickshire team. Warwickshire won the match and hopefully they will continue to play like this in the future matches. The best batting performance in the Warwickshire team was by will Rhodes scored 60 runs 102 balls hitting 8 fours and 0 sixs. Their performance was exceptionally showing their skill and talent on the field. Congratulations to Warwickshire for their upcoming matches.
In one day cup, yesterday this game was played and ended between Sussex and Warwickshire teams and this game was concluded from Group B. Warwickshire team won the toss first and got a chance to take first bat or bowl and Warwickshire team chose field first. Sussex made a target of 173 runs in 50 overs by losing all wickets. T.Clark and T.Haines both played well and T.Clark made 32 runs and THaines made 38 runs. Most of wickets of their team was dismissed at few runs and below 10. Warwickshire chased down the target of Sussex in 44.1 overs by losing 9 wickets. If Sussex bowlers took down one more wicket of Warwickshire before chase target their team definitely won game.Fynn Hudson-Prentice a d Henry Crocombe tried very hard to win this low runs game and also took down total 6 wicket but failed to win game if target was but higher and if they also dismissed one more wicket start game.  Rhodes's LBW bY Fynn Hudson-Prentice I thought Warwickshire is going to have a pretty easy game in this one. But somehow that did not happen, they only ended up winning by one wicket! I have to say it was actually very close & nail-biting in the end. Whatever Rhodes's team tried hard but able to keep it three wins out of three in five days. I can see Rhodes and Smith scored the bulk of the runs in this game. The problem is Warwickshire lost wickets at regular intervals. And that was the biggest problem for them. In the end I would actually say that they were lucky to actually be able to win the match. There was a very good chance that Sussex was actually going to defend the total that they had posted. By the way Carson was actually a little bit expensive. Because when the target is not that big, you cannot give away so many runs so easily. |

The concepts of this thread if very funny and I know where it is coming from, yeah, considering the fact that If it happens you had a winning and leave you potential winning in the platform definitely there is high possibility of using all the money to gamble again even to the extend of Lossing all, yeah it is good to withdraw a certain amount of money from your winning either the capital or the profit and probably get something for yourself for remembering your winning day, so that even when you lose it will not be all your money since part of it has already been used for yourself. Surely, you might not be lucky to win all the times .
You decide to withdraw part of your profit or capital after winning, but if you cannot control your emotions and deposit the rest after losing, then what is the point of withdrawing your money? So in my opinion, withdrawal will not guarantee you if you cannot control your emotions. I have seen many people withdraw part of their money right after winning but they continue to play after that and they even deposit more money than they withdrew after losing. Then their previous withdrawal becomes completely meaningless. When gambling we should plan when is the right time to stop and withdraw , there is no need to focus on withdrawing money if we do not have a plan for when to stop playing. |

to be honest it sounded like he had ulterior motives(which he most probably has). the guy hated Bitcoin a few years ago and even called it a scam. I don't know what changed his stance but I am certain he is not standing for the Bitcoin community.
I watched the live stream and watched the Bitcoin charts at the same time. I also took advantage of this to take a little profit from the speech that was given. Honestly, Trump speech was very fiery about the future of crypto, especially Bitcoin in the US. He also accepted a donation of 1 Bitcoin from the CEO of Bitcoin Magazine to make Trump a Bitcoin holder. Trump said he would not sell his bitcoin. Exciting news, and also optimistic if Trump is indeed elected, it will determine a bright future for the Bitcoin industry in the US. He has said many times that Bitcoin will reach the moon. Regardless of his current political interests, what Trump said will be a promise that he must fulfill if elected. I think the US will slowly become the crypto capital of the world as he said. And Senator Lummis is planning to propose to buy 1M worth of bitcoin over 5 years. All of us who support Trump hopes that he will keep his promises if elected, but we should also be realistic that there is no guarantee that he will keep his promises because politicians are unpredictable. So don't be too subjective and expect too much otherwise we will feel extremely disappointed if it doesn't turn out as we expected. Not to mention , there is no guarantee that Trump will be elected because according to some recent surveys, Ms. Kalama also has great support and is not inferior to Trump. It can be said that the election is taking place quite excitingly and nothing can be said in advance . |

1. If Bitcoin is globally accepted by the masses, governments, and other sectors to be allowed for all kinds of transactions.
2. If there exists no longer any oppositional speech or attack from the influential men, regulatory bodies of any kind or web3 products.
3. If there is no longer any Bitcoin halving.
Even if Bitcoin is globally accepted by everyone, including the government, like you said, it cannot make the price of Bitcoin stable because Bitcoin is not like a stable fiat currency. There will always be hate speech and unrealistic action by some non-Bitcoiners, as long as they don't like Bitcoin. Believe me, not everyone must like Bitcoin. I don't also think that the government will allow Bitcoin to take over the fiat currency for every transaction. Trump once said that he hates Bitcoin because it's competing against the dollar. Bitcoin cannot become as stable as fiat, but it is inevitable that bitcoin will gradually become more stable and less volatile. Many years ago, bitcoin's volatility was huge and it even brought returns of thousands and millions of percent, but in recent years, that volatility is gradually shrinking. As bitcoin's capitalization becomes larger and larger, it means its volatility will gradually become smaller, I believe that at some point it will be as stable as gold. Even gold and real estate, recognized assets that have existed for thousands of years, still have people who hate them and bitcoin is no exception. In a latest statement, he revised that bitcoin is not competitive and will not harm USD. The current administration is hurting the USD  . But bitcoin taking over fiat is impossible, that scenario will never happen. |

Are there other ways people like us who are late adopters benefit from Bitcoin?
Do you mean it's too late to invest in bitcoin and make profits? Come on, don't look at its value because it has a very limited supply so the high price is not too difficult to understand. And that doesn't mean it can't continue to increase in price, you need to further evaluate its current supply and market capitalization. You'll see that it's early and there are plenty of opportunities for anyone who wants to invest in bitcoin. Bitcoin's market capitalization has only reached 1.5 trillion, and what do you think if its capitalization is equal to gold? Also, do you follow recent investor predictions at bitcoin conferences? Michael Saylor predicts Bitcoin price could reach $49 million by 2045, I'm not sure if that's possible but it means top investors are still very bullish on bitcoin and think everything hasn't even started yet. https://coinstats.app/news/8deafb61c784f1545147edeb50ae6c8134ec5d7ea571bbc1e2f7b7da58148629_Michael-Saylor-Predicts-Bitcoin-(BTC)-Could-Reach-%2449-Million-by-2045-at-Bitcoin-2024-Conference/ |

Do you think these political endorsements will help the politician to win the elections, or they will help Bitcoin's price increase?
Politicians are showing interest in cryptocurrencies to attract crypto investors to vote for them, while crypto investors are also looking to create opportunities for the market to grow so they decided to vote for whoever supports cryptocurrency. It can be said that behind their actions, each person has a purpose, everyone wants to receive benefits when voting for someone and also the person being voted for. But in the end, politicians will be the ones who benefit the most in this game because there is no guarantee they will keep their promises after being elected, so voting for a candidate can be considered a gamble for us, the cryptocurrency investors. |

I have the same thought as you, this drama is almost the same as Mbappe's case but Osimhen has a different story because if there is another club that is able to spend a large amount of money, the player will definitely be released.
While in Mbappe's case, PSG is really defending its mainstay player.
Napoli's efforts will actually only make Osimhen even more uncomfortable and of course his performance will decline.
This is the same as Napoli's selfishness without thinking about the risks that will occur because Osimhen could give back to the club like Mbappe did to PSG.
It looks like Napoli is losing this game. This thing with Osimhen? Its a mess. Its like watching a bad reality show: very dramatic but not very interesting. They're waiting for PSG to give up so they can get a few extra dollars. Thats not a smart way to negotiate, people. Its dangerous, its not fair to the player, and its slowing down the whole team. Ohsimhen is great. He needs to know the truth, and Napoli needs to move on. They need to finish the deal, get the money, and put it back into the team. No one is falling for it. Everyone knows that they need that money to build for the future. Dont forget that Osimhen could leave in 2025 without having to pay anything. They have a time bomb on their chest that is set to go off. Napoli, enough with the games. Make a decision. Be decisive. Be leaders. Get this deal done, and move on. Its the only way to win. Well honestly, Napoli does not want to be a leader at this moment. They want to either get a really good amount of money for Victor Osimhen or they do not want to let him go at all. I actually agree that it is very dangerous. The thing why it is still not a problem is because Osimhen is still not have fallen out with Napoli and he is probably still OK to stay at Napoli. That is the reason why they are probably still not taking it seriously and not showing that much urgency about selling him which they should be showing. Osimhen will probably make a better decision if he actually actually leaves Napoli. But I guess he is not realizing that at this moment. |

 Chelsea will pay € 24.5m for Danish talented GK Filip Jørgensen. Filip Jørgensen does look to be a very talented goalkeeper. I hope he will actually be very useful to Chelsea. By the way I was looking at his stats and I saw that he has picked up for yellow cards in the last season. How does that happen ! ! By the way right now Chelsea does need some goalkeepers because they do not have a great main goalkeeper to be honest. And I think this Villarreal goalkeeper who will be able to give good service to the Blues for quite a long period of time. Actually it is also going to be a good thing Jørgensen because he might actually get good playing time in Chelsea. |

 I've just checked the odds for the outright winner of the Bundesliga 2024/25 and not going to lie, I was quite surprised with what I see. I expected Leverkusen to be the favourite. There's no way they'll be as dominating as in the previous season, but I still think they are more likely to win than any other team. Maybe I'm just not a big believer of Kompany being able to make Bayern great again. Bayern Munich is a big team and champion candidates for almost every season in Bundesliga even before Leverkusen can broke their domination in the last 10 season Bayern Munich is really dominate this league without gets decent contender so i am not surprised why some of the bookmakers still placed them as the first favourite of the champion of next season instead of Leverkusen because they have possibility will able to taking over Bundesliga title from Leverkusen Last season too the bookmakers placed Bayern Munich as the favourite even at that time the bookmakers too give low odds for Bayern Munich similar like this season but the predictions were missed because Leverkusen who able to gets Bundesliga title for the first time and what i want to says about this i think being an the first favourite will not automatically can gets the title because everything is still determined by the performance of Bayern Munich for whole season I am actually a little disappointed to see the odds that was given to Dortmund. I thought they are a better team than that. Actually recently they have not been able to prove themselves. So that might be a reason why we see this. Bayern Munich is definitely going to have a very good chance of winning the Bundesliga title. And I think we all actually agree that they are going to face a good competition from Leverkusen. But it is not going to be as easy as it was in the last season for Leverkusen. Because in this season Bayern Munich will be ready for them. i would actually like to see Leverkusen win but i would also want to see some good competition for the Bundesliga title. In the last season I was actually a little disappointed to see Thomas Tuchel's tactics & the way Bayern Munich performed. Maybe with the new coach Vincent Kompany they will be able to see success again |

Not sure that crypto is really big deal. We just live in the crypto information bubble. Candidates speak about everything every day but we read only about crypto speaches
That's exactly what's happening, we are cryptocurrency investors and what we care about the most these days is news related to cryptocurrencies . It's just that we are ignoring a lot of other news, they are focusing on many different issues, they are not just focusing on cryptocurrency and considering it the most important factor determining the election results. Cryptocurrencies and bitcoin haven't even had any impact on the economy yet, how can they make it a priority ? Candidates are just trying to fully exploit votes from every field to increase their chances of winning . |

The return of the Gold Standard. The problem is that scenario will never happen, the US government faced many difficulties in eliminating the gold standard so that it could freely print money and export inflation to the world. Therefore, their attempt to restore the gold standard will never happen. Besides, I don't think bringing back the gold standard would bring any good to our world. It is no different from a double-edged sword because the population is increasing, supply and demand are imbalanced, and if the Government cannot print money itself to solve this problem, the poor will also be larger, and they will continue to be more miserable. It can be said that maintaining world stability is not as simple as we think. Regarding bitcoin , I don't think there will be any impact because the scenario of the world returning to the gold standard will never happen. |

Even if you have all the necessary elements to be called a professional trader, there is no guarantee that you will make a profit from trading or that making a profit from trading is easy . Because even if you use all the knowledge and skills you have, you will never be able to predict unexpected factors, or manipulate...Therefore, there will always be certain risks in trading and making profits from it is not easy .
Bitcoin is unpredictable because there are always unexpected impacts, events, or shark manipulation in the short term. Therefore, to minimize the risks from those things for ourselves, long-term holding will be a much better choice.
On this I will say there is no guarantee too that you will be able to make profits from holding too, because it’s basically a form of trading or rather prediction too but only has less risk compare to the future trading. The unexpected factors or manipulation (although this is for Altcoins) that you mention are also in the case of holding of coin but the risk is minimal due to its longevity There is no guarantee of success in both but only past experiences is what derives the believe of investors that they will be able to Make profits investing, same as trading. The Reason for all the technical analysis is just to catch the trend and also check where bitcoin reacted to in the past, with proper risk management as stated you reducing your risk to reward which will make you profits. So with this knowledge you can definitely make Zoe Profits from trading. I'm just saying that choosing to hold will help minimize our risk, I'm not saying that holding will guarantee safety and will definitely be profitable. For me, once it is called an investment and can be profitable, it can also bring risks, nothing is absolutely safe or guaranteed in any market. We have heard many stories about people becoming rich by investing and holding bitcoin. Have you ever heard of someone becoming a millionaire by trading in bitcoin? I have never heard of any such story and that is why holding is always preferred and encouraged over trading. By the way, when I say manipulation that includes bitcoin, without exception, bitcoin is also manipulated in the short term. But the level of bitcoin manipulation is less than that of altcoins and shitcoins. |

I agree with you, greed is one of the reasons why most people see bitcoin has scam, apart from investing in Ponzi schemes which most scammers label has bitcoin investment so many people have lost money in the name of investing in Bitcoin without having proper knowledge of what bitcoin investment is all about. Some has been deceived because they were wrongly advised that after investing in Bitcoin within the next few weeks they will be able to have a double of their capital but not understanding the market they will rather sell and take loss when the price of Bitcoin is down. Some of the people who also see Bitcoin as evil have been fooled by some scammers using free airdrop, they get people to invest in a token in the name of Bitcoin but when it is time to make profit they will find out that they have been fooled by scammers a long time again. In any financial market or even in our lives , there are hundreds of traps created to scam people, there are hundreds of reasons people give to justify every time they are scammed . But after all , if we are not greedy and control our greed, it will be very difficult to be deceived by others and fall into others' traps. If people are aware and restrain their greed, they will not rush to invest in any project without fully understanding it . I believe that no one will lose money and scams will gradually disappear . Scam comes from our greed, we should not blame anyone or anything when our greed is not under control . |

I figure they crash it all one more time. So I look for flat rates July 31 and maybe a cut in sept.
According to the most recent meeting, Chairman Jerome Powell also confirmed there will be at least one interest rate cut this year , and the Fed will have two more meetings this year: in September and December. Therefore, more than 90% predict an interest rate cut will fall in September this year when it has not happened in July . It is not difficult to predict. But if you look at Q2 GDP which was 2.8% and it was double the 1.4% of Q1 and we need to know that GDP has increased, we cannot ask inflation not to increase . Therefore, whether the Fed will reduce interest rates in September or not is still uncertain . They can continue not to lower interest rates if the indexes do not meet their expectations .  source: bloomberg finance |

Barcelona really has a big ambition to get Dani Olmo and I'm sure most people here know about this news. For me this might be a reasonable offer but logically the team that owns the player also doesn't want to let go of a reliable player but paid in installments for several seasons. On the one hand Leipzig would definitely choose to release the player to another team that can pay in full without any risk.
And even though the offer will later be approved by Leipzig, it is actually a bad start for Barcelona finances because it adds to the burden of debt in the future. This is what Barcelona must avoid, which is only ambitious to bring in players without thinking about its finances in the future which are currently not recovering.
In installments? it's quite ridiculous for Barcelona class, it's better not at all in my opinion than forcing yourself which has a bad possibility later for the team and it will be very dangerous in the future, their problems are not over and want to add new problems just because they are ambitious to get Dani Olmo into the squad for next season. I think if Leipzig rejects it is the right decision, because it is likely that not only Barcelona wants Dani Olmo, his performance at the Euro yesterday was quite brilliant and many teams paid attention to him, I don't think it's necessary to serve Barcelona, it's better to find a team that can pay in full. I am very disappointed with Barcelona in such a way, it's embarrassing, yes although I understand why they do that, but it's better to maximize the resources that exist and have been collected, if they can train their players who are already in possession very well it will make Barcelona have the possibility of competing the same as in previous seasons, I think Barcelona is scared. It is not even an option if they are going to reject this offer. They will be absolutely stupid if they actually accepted this kind of offer. Now I understand that a lot of club actually pay the price of a player in instalment. But I think that generally happens when the money is a lot. First of all it is almost criminal at these day and age to actually offer 40 million for a player like Olmo. And then they are going to pay it in instalment . I think everybody like the money up front instead of in instalment. But regardless, Leipzig is never going to accept a 40 million offer for him. I understand why you feel like Barcelona has disappointed you. A lot of people do feel the same way about Barcelona right now. But what can they do? they do not have that much money right now and there will have to make offer with what they can afford. I also understand why a lot of people think that Barcelona should not even try if they do not have the money. But that is also not a solution as well. I always believe that you will never know unless you try. If Leipzig said that they would not sell him for anything less than 70 million instead of saying that the Barcelona offer was stupid or something, things could have been very different in my opinion. If Barcelona did offer 70 million in instalments for 4 years or five, shouldn't have been that bad of an offer. |
