AC Milan is playing a solid game against Empoli and what would add 3 important points to their account. They would finally have a good streak without defeat again.
Milan is on the lead with 2-0 in the first half with an early goal scored by Ruben Lottus on the 11th minutes after he got an assist from Raphael Leao. What a great finish from Lottus. The second goal was scored by Giroud with a PK and he stylishly net the post on the 31st minutes of the game, to put Milan in a better position of winning the game. Milan took control of the first half by gaining possession and also scoring two goals to show that they are ready to get 3 points from today's game. The second half will tell if Empoli will be able to equalize the goals or conceive more goals by their visitors. I believe that Milan will win this match from the look of things in the first half because I don't think that Empoli will be able to resist their pressure in the second half.

It was back then that bitcoin needs awareness because the news of bitcoin is everywhere especially in countries that government didn't legalize cryptocurrency, a lot of them will know about it, but you should also know that it is a choice for people to make if they are willing to learn and adopt it or not. This is why you don't need to introduce bitcoin to everyone you see but to only your family and friends that show interest in it. Bitcoin can also be promoted in a charitable way by showing love to people in need. Bitcoin is now promoting itself as you can see the news with SEC and bitcoin ETF approval, only that has done a lot in promoting bitcoin. You are free to do what you like to promote bitcoin in your own way.

A newbie should avoid trading if he is not knowledgeable enough to start trading.if not he will run at loss because trading is more skillful than what we think. However, if he must trade then he should only use the amount of money that he can afford to lose to start trading so that he will have the experience of the market. The fact is that as a newbie, you will keep on losing to the market until you have improved in your trading skliis and that is when you will definitely have a strategy that you will use to trade in order to limit your losses. Emotions is also what should be controlled when trading because trading can mess with your emotions.

The first half was completely under Sassuolo's control... I don't know what will happen after the break... But if Fiorentina don't play better, Sassuolo will take the three points for sure... Although there are often surprises in Serie A, so far things look sad for Fiorentina...
The first half was rough for the visitors, they were uanble to hold down Sassuolo who became fierce and pressed for a goal. Sassuolo up with a 1-0 lead and I've watch and comprehend the performance of these teams. Fiorentina fighting really hard to levelled the scores but it seems impossible because the home team have blocked the crucial areas that would have served as weakness, however there's nothing too impossible to happen in football, as far as Fiorentina keep pressing, we might have a 1-1 scores on leveled points. This is second half and I've made my experiment on the club's winning and the one losing three points.
Sassuolo is still leading the match as Fiorentina is still finding it difficult to break the deadlock. Sassuolo scored an early goal in this second half but it was ruled out by VAR due to handball. I don't know why Fiorentina is finding it difficult to equalize the early goal scored by Andrea Pinamonti on the 9th minutes of the game, because I never expected Sassuolo to win this game since Fiorentina is stronger than them. Anyway this is how football is a weak club will come and win a club that is stronger than her, imagine that Sassuolo on the 14th position is leading Fiorentina who is 4th on the table. Maybe be ore the end of the match Fiorentina will surprise their fans, and share points.

Addiction is something very bad that should be gotten rid of by every gambler so that they don't put themselves in a state where they would be abandoned by relatives, friends and family. This is the most saddened thing, that because of your excessive gambling, you lost everything. The best thing is that anyone who finds himself in this state needs to quit gambling and focus on how to amend his life so that he will not live with depression due to isolation from relatives. Gambling is fun but if you allow gamble to destroy your life and your relationship, you will live to regret it

I am the same kind of person when it comes to gambling, and I am always cautious with what I do in real life so that I don't over spend the funds on me. The same happens to me when I am gambling, I don't allow my gambling activities to control me, as I always try to have self control, so that I don't end up spending recklessly. This is because the casino is always there anytime, any day for you to gamble again, and so why will I spend all I have at the moment and lament tomorrow. Those kind of people that are hard working and reckless in their gambling activities are compulsive gamblers
507  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: January 05, 2024, 06:53:23 PM

The longer the investment is held for, the greater the potential for profit from that investment. The point you are making is that investing in Bitcoin when it was worth fifteen thousand dollars and selling the investment at the present time would have made an investor a lot of money. Let's say you bought a bitcoin at $15,000 and you haven't sold your bitcoin yet, where the current price of bitcoin is $45,000.  Instead of selling Bitcoin at $45,000, you plan to hold your investment for a longer period of time. 
After holding for two more years, you see that the price of Bitcoin has touched one hundred thousand dollars, so which one is more profitable, investing for two years or investing for four years or more? Of course, holding the investment for four years or more will give you higher returns and if you hold your investment for a longer period, the profit potential may be higher, so plan for a longer period of time when holding your investment.

Sometimes they don't equate investment duration of bitcoin to the profits because you might purchase bitcoin when the price is high and keep it for long duration and instead of the value to increase for you to make a profit then the value depreciate, we all know that long-term investment gives a profit but it can only gives you a profit when the price of bitcoin increases,  that is reason why we don't need to be curious for bitcoin investment knowing that the investment is all about risk neither you make profit or you lose.

One of the major concerns for bitcoin investment a investor have to have in mind is to make sure that the investment it have a timer for any of the investment,  because if we use what happens previously to explain bitcoin investment may people might be biase or discouraged for the investment...bitcoin investment is something you can invest now and within some period of time you make profit that is why its not necessarily mean that what will fetch you more profit is the longer your investment stays, sometimes we do experience long periods of bearish and it can be one year or two years and if you purchase at high course and the value depreciate due to long  bearish you might sell out your bitcoin under panic

So what is very necessary for bitcoin investment is timing and duration you want your investment to stay and secondly having in mind that bitcoin investment is depends on risk because you may be profited for the investment or either you lose, but people taught that the longer you allow your investment the more you make profit,  such scenario can come to accomplish when you purchase bitcoin very low prices and throughout the years it stays the price  continue to add more values, so getting profit for your long-term investment depends on monthly and yearly positivity of the marketcap of bitcoin.
I guess you are misunderstanding the point that @Patrol69 is saying. We all know that bitcoin investment is better held for a very long time no matter what price bitcoin was when you bought your first bitcoin. People that bought bitcoin at the last ATH for instance if they continue to accumulate more bitcoin through out the bearish period with DCA method, since they will be buying at different level of price, this will balance the average price of bitcoin and if they can hold for up to two circles, the profit will be great. Also any investor that bought bitcoin during the last ATH when it was 65k, if he didn't sell till the next bull run when bitcoin price will reach a new ATH, as long as the price of bitcoin start getting up to 67k.he has started seeing profit. The reason is that the compound profit of bitcoin is what gives it that potential to make more profit, the longer you hodli because, the probability of bitcoin price to go up over time is higher down it going down.

This is why you see that long term investment is the bump when you have invested in bitcoin. However anyone that can buy at the dip is more lucky to make bigger profit than the investor who bought during the bull run because you will have bought cheaper and the time that bitcoin price will take to reach the bull run is a lot of advantage for him. This is why you see that they always say Buy Dip and Hodli. But is you miss the dip, then it is better to get started at anytime and use DCA techniques to grow your investment and you can also keep extra funds to prepare for the dip to so that you don't miss out. Imagine that you bought bitcoin now at this price 44k+,and you were able to hold it for 24yrs and have reached your bitcoin target within this period of time. Maybe bitcoin price might be $5m then.
508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: January 05, 2024, 04:10:02 PM
I wouldn't mind about what anyone will say towards my gambling activities because some people that don't understand that gambling is not for useless people will not accept your own point of view. So no need to bother about what people are talking about me because they finally noticed that I am a gambler. This is why one needs to gamble responsible to prove them wrong about what they think about gambling. Some people thinks that the moment you start gambling, your life will get ruined just because some irresponsible gamblers think that gambling is to get rich quick or to make profit got carried away with their mindset and became addicted to gambling, which later ruin them just because they lack self control. As long as have self control over my gambling a activities, I am cool with it because I do get all the entertainment that I need through gamble.
509  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: ESSENTIALLY SIMPLE TRADING FACTORS THAT EVERY TRADER SHOULD CONSIDER on: January 05, 2024, 02:09:47 PM
It is better that a trader should only trade with the amount of money that he can afford to lose, so that he can learn better from experience. A trader shouldn't also open a trade when he doesn't understand the market to avoid loss. Confidence shouldn't be what a trader should have but the ability to stop loss and close the trade at the right time, over confidence can lead to liquidation. Trading is very complicated and it is easy said than done because you cannot predict the market movement.

Quickly let me correct the impression that trading isn't gambling except you are just a newbie who have still got enough to learn.
Not only newbies because even professional traders run at loss. Majority of people trading run at loss and same with gambling, majority of gamblers run at loss. He said it is similar because you are putting your money on an something that you don't know what the outcome will be in the later. The difference with bitcoin is that history repeats itself and the movement have patterns, which are hard to interpret if you have not witness a circle before.
510  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Complete list of Casino and Sportsbook Scam Accusations on: January 05, 2024, 12:10:33 PM
Great work OP, with this list of casinos that you have compiled based on their scam accusation here in the forum. You did the right thing, so that when newbies want to select a reputable casino that they will register with, they can see it from here and choose the casino that is with good reputation. Any dispute that have been solved shouldn't reflect on the list. One problem that I think is those gamblers that are trying to cheat the casino and turn around to accuse the casino of scam, how will one know who is telling the truth and how will such dispute be solved.
511  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the high fee affecting the rate of adoption of Bitcoin? on: January 05, 2024, 11:24:25 AM

Personal experiences, like my friend's decision to postpone investing in Bitcoin due to high fees, highlight how potential investors might alter their plans. The longer fees remain a concern, the more likely individuals are to explore other investment options. The extended period of elevated fees has forced many users to seek alternative means for their daily transactions, detracting from Bitcoin's intended role as a practical medium of exchange.

As these challenges persist, there's a growing worry that Bitcoin may be viewed more as a store of value than the revolutionary payment system envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto. If high fees become a recurring issue, the risk of hindering Bitcoin's adoption as a medium of exchange is a real concern. I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether you believe the increase in Bitcoin fees has affected its adoption negatively or enhanced it rather.
Anyone that wants to invest in bitcoin shouldn't be discouraged by the high transaction fee because he should think of hodling for a long term before selling, so that the high transaction fee wouldn't be a barrier for him of getting started. The high fee is temporary and will not be permanent. However, it has being a problem for people to use bitcoin the way they like and some people are staying off from using bitcoin for purchase of goods and services. If the fee did not come down, there other altcoins will be commonly used as a payment method, while bitcoin will be used more as a store of value. This means that we might still be trapped under centralized payment system, where the government will know about every transaction that you do daily.
512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 04, 2024, 09:39:30 PM
It is 1-0, against Barca in Estadio de Gran Canaria. Las Palmas had an early goal in the first 12th minutes of the game to take the lead and since then Barca have being finding it difficult to equalize the goal. Barca defense is porous and Xavi needs to do something about this. Palmas is a weak club and they are not as strong as Barca, so I believe that Barca will have a welcome back in the second half. Barca needs to win this match because they are on the 5th position with 10points behind Real Madrid and Girona. This is a very bad season for Barca as they are struggling with their matches, unlike like them. Munir El Haddad was the player that was able to find the back of the net within 12 minutes.
513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [A POLL] Without Chances of Making Money, Will you still be gambling? on: January 04, 2024, 08:05:49 PM
Of course why not. Since it will be for entertainment I will pay to have that fun. I could remember going to the amusement park with my uncle and his family.the games there are to be paid for before you c an have access to play them. I will see it like a service business where you pay and play any game of your choice. But let the truth be told I wouldn't do that often. I will only do it once in a while unlike now that you can win or loss. This is what makes it more interesting due to the thrill. But I don't think that we will have more gamblers like we have today because at first most gamblers gamble for profit before they will realize the main purpose of gambling that is should be for fun.

515  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why does the halving increase the price? on: January 04, 2024, 04:47:25 PM
- Why would people invest loads of money in BTC after the halving and not before?

I believe, it is connected to FOMO. Halving symbolises something new, some changes. It feels like there are less and less bitcoin available. And more and more people start worrying that they don't own any so far. That is because they buy. And they notice that many people around are buying as well. And the effect becomes more massive.
Those who bought after the halving are those who get carried by the hypes and some people are like that, they don't invest if that commodity is not the talk of the town on how it has increased in price, this makes them to feel that is the best time for them to invest, thinking that the price will continue to pump till infinity and vefore they know it they will miss out from taking profit and run at loss the moment the bull run is over.

If Cagliari achieves a miracle, it will set an example for other teams in Serie A. -snip
Serie A has only been going on for half the season, with the points obtained by 4 teams above Cagliari which only has the highest difference of 5 points, it is still very possible for Cagliari to out from relegation zone at the end of the season. What they need is not a miracle, but they must be able to improve their performance at least when they meet teams that are equal to their strength. If they manage to win all their matches against teams in the relegation zone and 4 above, then Cagliari can stay in Serie A next season.
That's right, this season's journey is still quite long and there's still plenty of time for Cagliari to improve and get out of the relegation zone and in my opinion, it's not just Cagliari, but several teams at the bottom of the table definitely have the same ambition to build their team. much stronger in order to get out of the relegation zone.
I think it's too early to talk about teams that have the potential to be relegated because I think they (lower teams) still have time to improve and recover.
Just as we cannot be too sure of who will win the league is the same way that we cannot y which club will be on relegation now till the last month of the season. You should know that football is full of surprises and we should expect the unexpected as time goes by. Cagliari is facing difficulties since this season and if they don't improve, they might go to relegation, but if they improve in their performance, they will still remain in the league. As the season keep drawing close to the end, you will be surprised with the performance of some weak clubs.

Most investors have put their hope and believe that SEC will approve Bitcoin ETF by January 10th based on this, a lot of investors and institutions have prepared down by stashing their portfolio waiting for the approval, but it might be a big disappointment to them if SEC didn't approve it,as expected from them by people, and this will bring down the price of bitcoin because we have start seeing some drop in the price. It was this approval of bitcoin ETF news that made bitcoin price to hit $45k for the first time in this circle and what will happen when SEC refuses to approve it. It means that we might see bitcoin price below $40k

519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Focus on how much you may lose and not only the potential win. on: January 03, 2024, 02:28:03 PM
I agree with everything that you said OP, greed has made a lot of people to lose big in gambling because they feel that it is the amount of money that they use to gamble that will allow them to win big, and they fail to think that what if they lost the bet, which is more common than winning. Whatever amount that you use to win your bet, you should be contented with that win and don't become greedy that regretting that you didn't use a bigger amount to win big. If you are such person that regrets your action for using a smaller amount, you will see that the next day, you will want to stake a bigger amount because you feel that you might win the game forgetting that the game you won was based on luck. If all gamblers consider losing in their mind, I believe that they will be cautious of how much they will be using to gamble, especially when it is an amount that they cannot afford to lose. In gambling it is either you win or you lose and most gambler lose more than they win, but most gamblers put winning in mind instead of losing which is not fair.
520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: January 02, 2024, 03:07:42 PM

It is true that if Mbappe leaves PSG on the days when PSG is pursuing every competition that is followed, it will be very difficult for PSG, because in my personal opinion PSG also does not have a replacement for Mbappe to perform well at this PSG club. But this is still just a rumor, we can't be sure what the future will be like after all these rumors happen, whether mbappe will continue to stay at PSG or indeed leave in the January transfer market later, and basically also that real Madrid does need mbappe to strengthen its squad if you think about it, but we are really confused by mbappe's behavior which always gives a controversial attitude.

Now Mbappe will definitely not be able to leave PSG because he has a contract until the end of the season, but he can already start negotiating with other clubs. I read the latest news today that Liverpool wants to get Mbappe, I don’t know if this is true (as the French publication Le Parisien claims), but it seems that Real is still the number one contender. I don't think PSG will try to stop him, they will get big money for Mbappe and it looks like they are already looking for his replacement.
maybe Mbappe stay at PSG can help his team win the UCL title (even though it's impossible) but the fact is that PSG will still have difficulty if they only rely on Mbappe because they are not strong enough if they only rely on one player without having a solid line up. meanwhile, to be able to win a title at UCL you have to have strong cooperation, whereas PSG doesn't have solid cooperation for me.

regarding Mbappe move in january, he won't be moving, but if PSG keeps him until June, it looks like he will leave as a free agent and PSG will suffer a loss if he leaves as a free agent.
It will be hard for Paris Saint-German to win the Uefa Champions League trophy. Paris Saint-German has built its team around Mbappe, and if Mbappe is not in form Paris Saint-German will not perform well.
After Messi and Neymar left PSG, Mbappe became their key player that the club rely on to win matches, this is why I do not think that PSG will let him leave without rounding up the season and allow his contract to be over. I also know that any club Mbappe will be moving to will be Real Madrid and not Liverpool because that is where a player with his potential fits in, Liverpool is good but it is not that consistent in winning trophies, this will discourage him, since has already made up his mind to move to Real Madrid but PSG deprived him.
