541  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin can save the USA and dollar on: December 03, 2023, 08:58:27 AM

Simple question - why would the US want to do this ? Smiley
Why would the U.S. raise some bitcoin that it does not "produce", thus raising the stocks of countries where bitcoin is generated or accumulated in large volumes ? 

At first glance it leads to what you said, but my question is one DrBeer, how Bitcoin will perform in the next few months.??


The answer is very simple now bull market, halving ahead, there will probably be positive news that sec agrees bitcoin-etf blackrock.... Bottom line - UP.
But this is purely my personal opinion, you should not rely on it when investing money.

But what will happen then - it is difficult to say, the historical chart - wave, it is not excluded that the value, for some reasons will be less. It could be market situations, and it could be purposeful manipulation.

Returning to the topic - at the same time, the dollar will maintain its value, quite stable

Bitcoin will continue to exist and grow stronger. Halving is approaching and we will see bitcoin make a new ATH, which is what bitcoin will do in the coming months. Instead of asking what bitcoin will look like in the coming months, I think we should focus on accumulating bitcoin, we should prioritize this above anything else. Because bitcoin is inevitable, but what will happen to us when bitcoin reaches 100 thousand dollars and we don't have much bitcoin?

Bitcoin was not created to save any country, that is not its mission. Even though I don't like America, I can't think of any reason America needs bitcoin when they are the number 1 power and USD is still dominating the world.

To invest it is very important to have a plan and idea about the investment and the next step is to have money. When it comes to investing, I value ideas and planning more than money. That's why I take investment planning and investment ideas seriously because if our ideas and plans are not right then we can definitely lose money. Investing so that we can keep our money safe, we need to know about investments. Those who invest in Bitcoin for the long term do not need to do much planning or research into the market as the small fluctuations in the market may not affect an investor much when investing for the long term.

But without money, how can you invest and promote your ideas? I think ideas, plans, money, all are equally important, one cannot say one is more important than the other. Furthermore, money is a difficult problem for most people because nowadays money is not easy to earn, while ideas and plans we only need to spend a little time to implement. I still find the money factor really important and a problem for many investors today. We can learn knowledge anywhere and it is not difficult to find it, but capital to invest is a more complicated issue.
543  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 03, 2023, 08:08:26 AM

It seems like we are lying to ourselves that in the end Bayern Munich still the bundesliga title holder this season even though we always think that Leverkusen very strong and can perform consistently, but at the end of the season maybe we will see history like last season when Dortmund failed in the final match the season. I really hope that Leverkusen will continue to compete with Munich to continue to dominate the top of the standings and maintain its position without being overtaken Munich to see something that is not boring, but the journey is still long and we will still see many changes to come.

today, Bayern munich is certain to get 3 points when they beat Union Berlin, which is currently in a very bad condition, while Leverkusen has yet to see whether it can get 3 points from Dortmund or will only get 1 point from draw.
I think that's quite possible, Leverkusen is doing as good as possible but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with something that will be all that profitable, it just feels like we are going to end up with something that will not be profitable for any of us on the long run. Hopefully, it is going to end up with something that should be interesting, it could definitely be something that will be all that profitable, and maybe that may not be all that crazy but it could very well be fine in the end.

I understand that we may think that this is a bit different but this doesn't guarantee any result at all. I think it is real that we could end up with something like last year, if Leverkusen ends up even that good until the end of the season.

I'm not sure if it's possible yet but if this happens and Leverkusen really stays in the first place in the Bundesliga and wins the title, they can make history because Bayern Munich was the team they were winning the league for ten years now, but a team like Leverkusen can break this record while they got less budget than Bayern Munich.


I hope that this time we will see some other champions, than Bayern Munich. And the performance of Bayern Leverkusen so far says that they deserve to win the Bundesliga title. Of course, it is not sure how they are going to perform throughout the whole season. But I think if they are capable of performing like this, we can say that in the end, they will definitely deserve the Bundesliga title. But the bigger question is, are they going to be able to perform well throughout the whole season?

This is definitely a big loss, if I had that much bitcoins, I would have it stored on an online and a personal wallet, this; I believe the number one mistake op made, 11 bitcoins is not a small amount of money, and even if you don't have money anymore, you could sold a tiny portion of it and buy yourself a good hardware wallet which you could use as a cold storage for the remaining number of bitcoin.


This is what makes me doubt the OP's story. How could someone with such a large fortune be so careless that it was unacceptable? I bet that if it were me or anyone on this forum who owned that amount of bitcoin, we would definitely buy ourselves 1 to 3 hardware wallets to store bitcoin. No one would be stupid and careless enough to store it on a computer with a regular internet connection like the OP is saying.

We're talking about 11 bitcoins and each 1 bitcoin is worth almost $39k, so I'm really sorry OP because I can't believe your story.
545  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happen if Bitcoin shutdown? on: December 02, 2023, 03:21:18 PM
Bitcoin has long been in existence till this very moment and if it were to have crashed or be wiped out, that should have been long ago upon its inception but it has come a long way to face that and as such would be very difficult to be scrapped because it is not a one man show but rather community driven  and as such would not bend to any pressure of being scrapped.

On the other hand, it is a known fact that Bitcoin is the head of the Crypto market and there is no doubt about it that what ever happens to Bitcoin, it affects the Crypto market and community as a whole because there would be panic but notwithstanding, the Crypto market is now very much strong as there are players in the system which would not allow it to fade away of anything should happen to Bitcoin. The Crypto market is now a financial giant on its own with lots of other crypto's running as an entity on their own coupled with the fact that there are stakeholders who would not allow it die as a result of the financial gains they derive from it including the government that always wants to control and regulate everything under their nose.
So therefore, the idea of Bitcoin shutting down is near impossible.

I agree, it's unlikely that bitcoin will shut down or collapse, I'm pretty sure of that. But I don't think bitcoin and cryptocurrency is a huge financial market. If you look at the market capitalization, it's just over a trillion dollars. That means it's less than the US military's spending budget in a year and smaller than the capitalization of technology companies. How can it be said that it is a giant financial market that cannot collapse? Bitcoin cannot be shut down because it is decentralized and because no one can take down all the bitcoin nodes in the world. Not because it has become huge, bitcoin is still very small compared to other financial markets.
Of a truth the Crypto market capitalisation is less than the US military budget and some other giant business Capitalisation but I believe that the Crypto market capitalisation is very much bigger than some country's budget and as such it is no to a small ones to say as there is a huge lot of money in the system. Bitcoin I know can never be shutdown as the community controls it. With time, I know it would grow bigger and stronger than it is now when the adoption rate is blown into full scale.

If you do a small comparison between financial markets like stocks and gold with bitcoin. You will see bitcoin is very small when gold market capitalization is more than 10 trillion USD, stock market capitalization is more than 70 trillion USD. Bitcoin and crypto are just a baby compared to other markets, so I wouldn't consider it mature enough to not crash.

But just because they are small doesn't mean it's a disadvantage, it can be a huge benefit. Have you ever thought about the scenario if bitcoin's capitalization is equal to gold's capitalization, how much will bitcoin be worth? The value of bitcoin will be so great that we cannot imagine. I believe that in the future bitcoin will surpass gold in terms of capitalization.
546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 02, 2023, 02:58:29 PM
Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappe's story is turning into a continual soap play. The last two seasons, I've been watching this, and its always the same: Real Madrid is interested, but Mbappe stops talking. They're now saying they wont go after him, but who knows? These things can change quickly in the world of transfers. I am not waiting with bated breath for the move window to open. That depends on whether Real Madrid keeps their word or goes after someone younger like Endrick. Regarding Mbappe joining Liverpool, I believe that is more of a work of fiction than a fact. Liverpool is a great team, but Real Madrid seems to be the only real player in this game.

I think it is much easier than many here think about this transfer. If Mbappe is available, Real Madrid will go and try to buy him or sign him depending on his contract. Really it is worthless when Real Madrid announces that they put this story ad acta. I don't buy that. They are probing whether Mbappe will react to that but that's probably going nowhere as Mbappe knows every club on the planet wants him. It will again be about money and whether everything Mbappe wants to end up on his bank account eventually ends up on his bank account. If Real Madrid fulfills the requirement, he will go there. If they don't, he instead earns another billion elsewhere.

I only find it interesting what other clubs might be waiting in line to make an offer. I read that Liverpool may be one of the candidates, but I also think that Manchester City would be in if it really turns out that Mbappe is set to leave PSG. But I doubt that any of the financially strong clubs would refrain from reaching out at all.

I think the best offer is going to come from Real Madrid. After all, they are the ones who actually want to bring in Mbappé. But I wonder if Real Madrid is actually going to approach him again. Because they literally had been betrayed by Mbappé previously. Mbappé actually used the name of Real Madrid to get money from PSG. So I don't know if Real Madrid will actually try to get him so badly. And at the same time, it is not going to be a terrible idea for Man City to sell Haaland and try to get Mbappé. Or maybe even a trade. The thing is, if PSG actually goes to sell Mbappé, the amount of clubs that will try to get him are huge.
547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 01, 2023, 05:14:01 PM
I think if Lazio would have played like they play in UCL , they would have been at least 2nd in Serie A but instead they chose to play super poorly in Serie A and now they do have a hard journey ahead of them in order to try to get back a lot of lost points that should bring them back in top 5. However , I don't think they have chances to get back in UCL spots for next year so that's why I think they will sacrifice a bit of Serie A games in order to have a deep run in UCL  Cool

It doesn't matter how well Lazio does in the Champions League because in the end, Lazio will still be eliminated in the knockout phase. Although for example Lazio is focusing more on good results in the Champions League but still, basically Lazio does not have the quality to be able to go further in the knockout phase in the Champions League. Also in my view, that Lazio is not a team that is always consistent with good results every season. So ya, if at this moment Lazio are only in the middle of the table in Serie A, I think that is a reasonable result too and has nothing to do with Lazio schedule in the Champions League.

Lazio has definitely performed really well so far in the Champions League competition. But in the Italian league, they have been very inconsistent. I can see they only have one win in the last five matches in the Italian league. That is just not good enough for them. At this, I think, they might actually not even play in the European competition if they continue performing like this. Because I am pretty sure they are not going to reach even the semi-final of the Champions League competition.

But there is still a long time left in this season. And they have a good amount of time to improve their performance.

It's not enough having an investment plan, knowing the right choice to make for every investment defines the investor better. Take for example jumping on every new coin we find on reputable exchange might not be enough guarantee that coin will do well in the future.

Some coin might have good Supply but low liquidity, some might have high market capitalisation but very poor volatility. Although it's hard to predict the accuracy of a coin performance in the near future this why it is always advised to stick to the known which is BTC.

Another option is to spread ones portfolio amongst different coins but ensuring the have a greater percentage in projects with a visible future. It is better to win small and lose less than lose more and win less
this is the reason why you actually only have to invest in bitcoin, even though the majority of altcoins are still cheap, altcoins are centralized assets, while bitcoin is a decentralized asset, wise people will definitely only choose bitcoin as their investment, besides that the liquidity and price volatility will be very high affect the profits from the investment made.  The very important thing that always saves investors from losses is that wise investors will not easily suffer from FOMO and FUD, they have good fundamental analysis and Bitcoin is usually the choice of smart investors, not altcoin.

I think when it comes to investment, we will talk about profits, many people will not care about whether it is decentralized or centralized. Bitcoin is decentralized and safer to hold long term but that does not mean it will bring us greater profits. I'm not saying that investing in altcoins is good but I also don't want to deny that, today some altcoins are giving better returns than bitcoin and their risks are also higher. Therefore, depending on the taste of each investor, there is a suitable choice.

The best choice is when your investment offers the highest returns. I invest mainly in bitcoin but I still respect those who make huge profits from altcoins. How can we say they are stupid when they make more profit than us?

In terms of the Epl title race I think Liverpool might be the favourite for the trophy, they usually try to beat all odds to get a win or a draw which shows their determination is beyond every other team. Last season was a difficult one for Liverpool but I think they are back while Arsenal and man City shouldn't be seen as the only title favourite. In comparison of the three, for me Arsenal has always been inconsistent every so they will probably do the same this season and drop more points especially during ending of the season while at that point Man City and Liverpool are more likely to be the title contenders
It's not only in the last season, even the season before the last was challenging for Liverpool. Even at that, when they were playing last season, I discovered that they were already out of the woods and I said it many times on this forum even as many didn't believe it. People often believe in what they see at present and not what they envisioned to happen due to insightfulness and speculations. I'm so proud of Liverpool and Klopp, especially as the guy has always proven that he has the key, and that he can always deliver.

If not for the 1 point they shared with Man City, I believe they should be topping the table by now. Although the same thing applies to Man City as well, still, the recent transformation of Liverpool is worth celebrating by the lovers of football and their fans, there are not many clubs that lose feats like that and recover easily. You can see what is happening with Man U and Chelsea, and only God knows when they will end their dramas. Despite all these, I will still not name my favourite to lift the trophy between Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal, and of course, Arsenal is used to disappointing performances especially when people are shouting their praise, however, let's see how things play out this time.

At first, I thought Tottenham was going to be one of the teams to compete very closely for the title. But after they have lost three matches in a row, they are now in the fifth position. Which is definitely not good for them. right now, I am not going to pick any favourite. But I will say that there are a few teams that are going to compete for the title. Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham come to mind. I don't think Aston Villa is going to be consistent enough for the whole season. Right now, I am expecting Manchester City to defend the title successfully. But still a long way to go in this season and anything can happen.
551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 01, 2023, 05:54:04 AM
I expect that Juventus match to be kind of one-sided. I do not think Juventus to even drop points in this match. There is really a good chance for them to win this match without too much trouble. They should get three points and continue the good performance that they have shown in recent times.

But the match between Inter and Napoli is going to be very competitive in my opinion. That match might end in a draw as well, to be honest. But at the same time, I will also say that both teams are going to go for a win. Both teams need to win this match as well. Losing this match is going to hurt the teams pretty badly.

Next match, the 9th standings place AC Monza will be opponent team for Juventus and opportunity to get three points and manage top position awhile regarding Napoli vs Inter Milan will play one day later after Juventus's match. I think great chance for Juventus if success with get three points for the first time have chance with top position standings and moment to make them keep motivate consistency performance for winning Scudetto in this season. Last week match, Juventus loss full points after getting draw against Inter Milan and fail return to top position although with playing in front of their fans.

For matchday 14 have interested match between Napoli vs Inter Milan, I think this opportunity for Juventus get first standing because Napoli under Walter Mazzari have quit well performance and will give second loss for Inter Milan in this season.

Newcastle is experiencing a decline because they have a busy schedule this season compared to last season Newcastle is only struggling in the premier league, and maybe Newcastle players lose half their strength this season, maybe when the winter transfer window open Newcastle will recruited some quality players to strengthen their teams performanced, especially in the fronts line and back line and I thinks Newcastle still has enough money to recruited expensive player in January.
snip
But in the last two matches Newcastle United have been on fire, they won big against Chelsea and managed to hold PSG to a draw away from home in my opinion this is a good thing for the team and with a crippling injury list and an overwhelmed squad. But They play beautiful, simple football that is a joy to watch.

Indeed, Newcastle's problem this season is because many players are injured and this, coupled with the Tonali case, has had a big impact on Newcastle's game as a whole. Newcastle can chase the top four positions this season on condition that they have to bring in several talented players in the next transfer window. Because entering the middle of the EPL league season will definitely be more competitive and will drain a lot of energy.
Considering Newcastle's last two results and performances, I don't think there's any reason for anyone to think that the team is currently on the decline. Last weekend, they convincingly defeated a Chelsea side that's not lost to any of the big teams in the league like Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City since the start of the season and were few minutes away from beating Paris Saint Germaine in their UEFA Champions League game away at the French capital before they were denied by a Kylian Mbappe's controversial penalty.
Newcastle was facing terrible results during the previous matches due to the crisis caused by many players were injured. FYI, newcastle has been suffering two losses in a row and if you were also actively using X and there has been a fan who was complaining toward newcastle's players caused by it was always losing. That's why people called them was on the decline for now. They were saying based on the fact but glad to see that some key players were able recovering from their injury. It was helping newcastle to ragain top place again.

I think we all agree that we are not getting the same kind of explosive performance that we expect from Newcastle United. It's pretty evident that they have been pretty consistent. And I think people are going to be able to name a number of factors because of which this happened. Injuries are certainly one of them.  And with a busy schedule like you mentioned, injuries are not going to be something alienated from them. But the good thing is the season has just begun and there is a lot of time for them to come back and do well. Well, I would actually be wrong if I said that the season has just begun. But we are still in the early stages. So time is there for them. But the improvement will have to be quick.
553  Economy / Economics / Re: Black Friday deals and your plan to hold bitcoins. on: November 30, 2023, 11:09:05 AM
...

It's always better to find another source of income, for your holding to remain in your wallet for the next bull run, and not selling it little by little just to survive in everyday lives. It's better to hold it for the long run, and not just short investment.

Bitcoin is a profitable investment but also has certain risks. It would be a bad idea to put all our assets in bitcoin and expect it to bring us profits without any work. Investing in bitcoin should never be considered a main source of income even though sometimes the profit it brings us is greater than our monthly salary.

I always advise people to have a job with a stable income first before investing in bitcoin. Never consider bitcoin as a lifesaver when we are unemployed or poor. A job with a stable income should be prioritized over investing in bitcoin.
554  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is Bitcoin always affected on: November 30, 2023, 10:49:00 AM
The price of Bitcoin is influenced by macro world finance events due to many reasons. Bitcoin is considered a store of value & a hedge against traditional financial markets so when there is uncertainty or volatility in global markets investors often turn to Bitcoin as a safe haven asset. Major economic events such as interest rate changes, political instability or trade tensions can impact investor sentiment & drive demand for alternative investments like Bitcoin. The interconnectedness of global financial markets means that any significant event can have ripple effects affecting Bitcoin & other cryptocurrencies both positively & negatively.

If bitcoin is considered a safe haven, store of value, or inflation hedge, why did bitcoin prices plummet in 2022 as war broke out and inflation peaked?  Meanwhile, gold has been a store of value and a hedge against inflation for centuries and gold has risen in price when inflation and war have occurred, bitcoin has done the opposite.

Bitcoin is always affected by macroeconomic news simply because it is also a part of the world economic system. Furthermore, it is still in the highly volatile asset category, so there will be strong fluctuations when bad news occurs.

Even though PSG couldn't make the best start in the league first they still managed to get to the lead easily and opened a quite wide gap with the others - except Nice. This just shows the quality of the Ligue 1 clearly I'm afraid. PSG even made big changes in their lineup this season. But still there is a huge quality gap between their squad and the rest of the teams. Probably this season is going to be another one in which PSG win the league title no matter how difficult it becomes.

Maybe Nice can make things more difficult but I don't know. We need to see at least the same performance which Lens had in the previous season.

Although Nice is still unbeaten so far and also only has a gap of 1 point with PSG but still, Nice does not have good goal productivity at this moment. Thus, it is likely that this factor will make it difficult for Nice to overtake PSG. Although for example Nice can return to the top of the standings but yes, it still seems easy for PSG to take over the top of the standings again and until finally PSG will still get the Ligue 1 trophy this season. But yes, indeed, at least Nice also has a good defense so far, because Nice managed to be a team that conceded a very low total. But at least, that factor still won't be enough for Nice to compete well with PSG in the title race.
Yes, but the competition is still long while the difference in points is still very close and I still believe that Nice will overtake PSG again in the next match and my belief is after seeing Nice's excellent consistency, they have never even been defeated and have no scheduled matches in other competitions, whereas PSG It will be difficult with other matches in the Champions League, making PSG decline a little and have to focus on one competition.

But I will say that there is still a chance. I cannot even say that for the other team in this league. They have fallen off so far that there is almost no chance for them to be able to catch PSG. If any team can actually catch PSG now it is going to be Nice. For every other team, the point difference is just too much to be able to close. And even though I also do not think that PSG will face any big problems because of Nice I still hold out hope. But I still do not think that PSG is going to be beaten by any team for the title.

Liverpool defeats to Toulouse in their previous encounter was quite a shocking one to everyone who couldn't believe with their very naked eyes. Jurgen Klopp and his players have played one of the best football games in previous matches and this one doesn't seem to be any more competitive for them, they just have to set things right when they finally qualify for next phase of the Europa League because it's definitely going to be challenging, worth more than the usual fixtures they faced in their group E. J believe Liverpool are ready for any actions coming their way.
Honestly I never imagine that match to end that way because I was actually thinking that Liverpool is going to win them with a lot of goals different because normally there is no way we could compare Liverpool performance and Toulouse because Liverpool is far better than Toulouse in times of performance but however just like I mentioned on my other post that Liverpool and Toulouse are wining based on there home advantages because if you check there meeting you will see that when Liverpool went to there home Toulouse win them 3-2 and when Toulouse went to the home of Liverpool they win them 5-1 so is actually a game of home advantage that has been playing on there meeting.

But however Liverpool still remains the leader of there Europa League group table followed by Toulouse, the two club are the only strong team on there group but if Liverpool is not consistent in times of wining Toulouse may likely take over from them because there point is not much different is quite close.

That certain match was definitely unexpected. I never expected that Liverpool was going to lose that match. I thought that they were going to draw even in the worst-case scenario. But they did end up losing. And still, I don't think it is going to matter too much because Liverpool is still at the top of the group and they are going to go to the next stage of the competition, staying at the top of the group in my opinion. Anything Liverpool should concentrate on the English Premier League right now. Because the competition in the Europa League is a lot more easier compared to the English Premier League. At least that's the case right now.
557  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers on: November 29, 2023, 04:26:27 PM
No, I'm not joking at all.  Grin  You must have seen Germany struggling for a long time. They were below the expectations in the last World Cup first of all. They have played so many friendlies after that and the overall look is just horrible honestly. Maybe you might say that friendlies doesn't show the real strength of teams.

However their World Cup performance wasn't good either like I said. As for the easiness of Euro 2024 qualifiers groups it is mostly really easy for the favourites like you said.

However if Germany were in one of the tougher groups I would doubt their direct qualification a lot. For example if Germany were in Group C instead of Italy then I think they could have finished in 3rd place. Because I think that Italy are performing better than Germany now.

Germany's results at the last major tournaments look terrible, primarily because the bar for expectations from them is very high. Yes, they are not the same as they were before, but they are definitely in the top group. By the way, any team from the top group can fail - for example, France, being world champions, could not beat Switzerland in the 1/8 at Euro 2020 and dropped out of the tournament.

As for strength, here are the official games in the League of Nations: Germany has only one defeat in the group with Italy and England (from Hungary haha). Considering that England are now among the favorites in every tournament, this is significant.

The Germany that we used to love, the current Germany is not the same anymore. Yes, there are a few players who are really good in the squad. But that is not going to be enough for any team to win a major trophy. And obviously, the current Germany team has some problems. To put it simply, the team is just not working. And the performance of the Germany team has definitely not been up to the mark. That's even if we do not count the friendly matches.

Australia have lost two important wickets in two consecutive overs which may make it impossible for Australia to win this match. Although Australia had a great start, they are under a lot of pressure at the moment with the loss of two wickets.
India made 222 today which is less then privious match (235) but Australia was unable to cross even 200 run and was lost where 9 wickets were gone. Today Ruturaj Gaikwad123(57) from india, stolen all the credit and help team to score such run. Besides already 4 wickets gone who were top order batsman. I think it will be hard for Australia again to win the match today. Although champion Australia could do anything after middle of this game. Glenn Maxwell is still bating... Lets see what will happened
Australian batsmen are not playing well today. I expected a better performance from the top order. But the top order players did not perform as well as expected. Maxwell is now unbeaten with 69 off 35 balls. Australia managed to collect 158 runs in 16 overs. The team needs 65 runs in the last 4 overs to win. Australia must collect about 17 runs per over. However, Australia's chances of winning are slim. If Maxwell can play a devastating innings, Australia may have some chance of victory. The match has become very exciting at this point.
Australia need 25 runs from just 7 balls which is 4 runs per ball. Australia still has a chance to win the match but it will be very challenging as collecting average of 4 runs per ball is not an easy task. India will probably win today's match. But that too cannot be guaranteed as the way Australia beat India in the Cricket World Cup final makes India look helpless. However, the match is very tight and it is not possible to predict which team will win in the end. Sometimes it seems that India will win and other times it seems that Australia will win the challenging match

What an exciting match!!!! In the end the Australian team won. I never imagined that I would see Australia win this match. Australia collected 45 runs in the last two overs. Australia team won because of Maxwell's great innings. Maxwell was unbeaten on 104 off 48 balls. We enjoyed a wonderful innings.

Indian team batsmen also batting very well. I didn't think they would score a massive 222 runs today. My estimate was that they would give a target of 190-200 runs. Indian batsmen collected 67 runs in the last 3 overs. Raturaj Gaikwad was unbeaten on 123 off 57 balls.

However, what makes Man United superior is their mental condition because they don't have a bigger burden than Everton. Everton's demands are currently out of the relegation zone so at least that will affect concentration on the pitch.
I can agree that MU players are better equipped mentally but not because of your reasoning that they have less burden to carry. Do not forget that they are one of the biggest club in the world and majority of their huge fan base probably expect them to finish in the top 4 at least. That alone is a bigger pressure to win most games specially against smaller clubs like Everton.

Renowned Premier League team Manchester United and this team has a huge fan base all over the world. And fans want to see the team in the top four of the table. But Manchester United's performance is still very unstable. Maybe the team has won in the last three matches, even then the performance of this team cannot be said to be good. They don't play well against big teams.

United's performance against Everton was mixed. Although they attacked less, each of their attacks was very organized. However, the team still needs improvement. Despite having a lot of talented players in the squad, Ten hag is unable to bring consistency in performance.

For me it’s the other way around, I missed the chance to sell a coin on the highs, which would have brought me a huge amount, but I hoped that the project would continue to grow, in the end my investments went down minus 90% and I’ve already been waiting for about two years, but TVL is still  very far.  My advice: do not miss the opportunity to lock in your profits.
Maybe it is a bit of greed given that you're aware of how big the profit already was and you still chose to hold. Your cited experience also support the title which is referring to struggles of holding. From big profit to huge loss. If you picked the right project then you shouldn't be hopeless right now even for a bad market situation from the previous all time high. Think of those people who bought early and still earning at this point; althroughout they encountered loss, then profit, the loss, then profit. If it is long term holding they you shouldnt mind monthly price  ceilings and focus only with annual growth in its price. Things won't happen in an instant so if you are in regret then you should have picked the easier catch.

We all know that the cryptocurrency market is very volatile, it can fall by 90% or 100%, but then it can also recover and increase by several thousand percent, but the most important thing is the quality of the project. You're right, if he chooses the right project, the 90% decrease in value will only be temporary for a short time, there's nothing to worry about, everything will soon recover when the bear season ends and the bull season comes.

I also have some coins that lost more than 80% of their value when the bear season hit but according to my observations, those projects are still diligently building even during this bear season. Therefore, I am very confident in continuing to hold them without having to think about cut loss or giving them up.
