5401  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When to sell bitcoin before the next bear market starts? on: February 26, 2023, 05:05:26 PM
Ok so this is a little down the road from here but assuming after the next halving and bitcoin goes into another bull run, when would be a good time to sell?i have already went through a couple of bull runs and bear markets but i didnt sell and take profits. I would like to sell before the next bear market to take profits this time.

So if bitcoin's cycles remain true, when roughly would be the start of the next bear market after the 2024 halving and bull run for a good time to sell. Can this be predicted somewhat? For all you TA guys when would be a good time to sell just to give me an idea? Thanks.

I think no one can give certain answer, because the cycles that Bitcoin price follows could change over the time. For example, in the first cycle, Bitcoin took 367 days after the halving to reach ATH, while in the second cycle, it took 527 days. However, the world's events heavily affect Bitcoin in the short term, but for the longer term, we have no doubt that the price will be much higher than now. In my opinion, Bitcoin will reach a new ATH in the summer of 2025.
Yes you are right, no one can give a definite answer to this question. I don't think we should focus on that, I know that we want the highest price to sell bitcoins and want to avoid a bear market. But if we really believe in bitcoin, then we can keep waiting without thinking about when the time is right. There have been many questions about this, starting from when to buy, when to sell and so on. If we only focus on that then we will continue to ask questions that actually don't have very accurate answers and are only in the form of speculation.
Well, that is something that can be difficult, because this happens whenever the distribution stage is generated, and once it occurs is when the bearish trend must be caught, that is when it is necessary to catch it with good leverage, but how to know? I think that experience prevails here, if an operator has experience he will grab it, in any case Bitcoin never goes down the first time, because when it goes down, it makes a correction and goes up, it is normal, bullish traps, then if when it falls, it does so in free fall, that's the behavior I've seen in bitcoin.

Right or bad moment for investing or selling cryptocurrency assets based on how bullish and bearish, some time little mistake with some investor and most excited when market on green or all cryptocurrency with higher price. Got risk and invested without think what happen later when price suddenly drop.

I am an investor typical most patience waiting when Bitcoin or altcoin drop to lower price and right time for buying and price increasing few percent this moment for selling. Not typical as investor for long term after earning profit and I won't loss my chance keep hold it.
An investor always knows that the best time to invest can be any, except when you are in a Distribution Stage or in a bearish trend, that is something that every investor knows, however the market is so difficult to analyze that I think the stage under which we are living is that of a re-accumulation, of course I say this according to my personal analysis based on Wyckoff's theory without complying or seeing a defined pattern, only analyzing under the basic principles, I may be wrong, but according to the topic of the thread, it is a great opportunity that there is already to buy.
5403  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading season? on: February 26, 2023, 01:51:41 PM
I was kind of confused little about something, after someone walked on to me and was telling me that in trading, there are seasons when you profit from it (lucky days) and when but when I asked for an explanation, he didn't give a clear explanation, so I had to bring it up here to know if there are truly seasons of profits in trading and how can I identify such seasons?
There is no trading season to gain any profits. It is originally and eventually because of our effort in analyzing the market, setting the price rate, in deciding the decision when selling or buying. And some are because of luck, but even if it is luck, there are also some efforts to do, not based on the season. But if you mean to have profits in the bullish season, you can buy the coins during the bearish season, especially Bitcoin, and then invest it for a longer time until there is a bullish season. When buying in the bearish season and selling in the bullish season, commonly you will get the profits because of Bitcoin investment.
The truth is the first time that I read something like this, and although I doubt that it could be something like that, the best season for one to buy is obviously before starting a bullish season, what happens is that it is a lottery to buy very low and then expect that go up and go up a lot, it has happened to some and they have excellent profits. Of course, at the moment the best thing is to buy and wait, it is not known when the price will rise, the best of all is that each ATH is much juicier than the previous one. In my personal opinion, the next ATH will be beyond => $150k.

Not sure what you've head/read, but ChatGPT is just a chatbot(a good one, to say the least) — how will a chatbot exactly be good or bad as for helping a person with his/her trading? It's not like a chatbot can predict the future.
I guess it can help but when it comes to real trading, it will never be reliable. Our own knowledge and honed skills in trading will still be the best sources on how we can make our trades successful and profitable. ChatGPT is only a chatbot, it can be useful if you are just making some queries and it will give you somehow good answers, but knowing trading is always unpredictable, this ChatGPT can never predict what will be the future outcome of your trading.

Well, the ChatGPT thing is nothing more than a fad, now that the written bot has come out to the world, almost everyone uses it for whatever, despite the fact that it has to be made many corrections, it is obviously not apt to give predictions, besides its information must be updated and although OpenIA does not allow you to make predictions, any bot that has AI can do it, there are many specialized algorithms with the best mathematical modeling that can simulate many events, and among them are probability and statistics, obviously it is much more fast than us, because they have all the information ready to be searched and executed, in this sense, there is still a need to optimize the AI, there is still too much to do.

It's basically a known thing at this point that; if DeSantis gets the nomination, he will be the president, if Trump gets it then Biden will win, and if Biden decides not to run (which is unlikely) or unable to run at that point and Kamala runs, any republican will win.
Basic with your opinion, seem like Republic Party is very strong right now, except for Biden if he wants to run again. I don't know what makes the democrat party aren't popular since Obama. Maybe they must reform the policy to do not support war or siding with a warring country. The economic effect is more important thing than the election, the public wants the government to focus on that issue. Maybe Ron DeSantis can do that, we know how he policy with not support Mask, WFH and Vaccinate. His opinion is much liked by the public, because that he have the best odds than Biden and trumph.
So do you think Biden can meet Trump again? is it likely to happen again? who could win here? I don't know how the American people feel about Biden's mandate right now, if they are happy or just satisfied or maybe neither, but based on what they have experienced in these years with Biden, I think they have not felt as wrong, of course I do not live in the USA, but with respect to the news that I have seen I have been able to perceive that.

 Now, Trump would change everything that Biden has done, there is no doubt about that and he would impose his law and make himself felt, and that is not to mention that he is going to change a lot the laws for entry to the USA by people from other countries. , but not everything would be so bad, because you could say Trump can be an intermediary to end the war between Russia and Ukraine and that would be something very positive, I speculate this because Trump gets along better with Putin than Biden. I would like to understand more about politics in the USA, but really things always focus on power, it always is.
5406  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to Deal with Volatility? on: February 26, 2023, 02:22:51 AM
To survive in the volatile crypto market, consider the following strategies:

Diversification: Spread your investments across different cryptocurrencies and assets to minimize the impact of market volatility on your portfolio.

Diversification doesn't mean you need to invest your money in different cryptocurrencies.  Remember the most liquid in the market is Bitcoin, so investing your funds in other cryptocurrencies means making your risk of losing getting higher.  Instead, you can invest your fund out of the cryptocurrency industry.  That is what we called true diversification.  If you can see the picture: one basket is a cryptocurrency, another basket is on stocks, then another one is on gold.  that is what true diversification means to me.

I would not really diversify my money or my investment in other altcoins, I prefer to put everything in Bitcoin, because we do not know if Bitcoin could have a strong fall, it is not exempt from it, that can happen, however we hope that it will not be like that, Now the only good thing I see about putting money in the altcons is that bitcoin becomes bullish and we have confirmation of such a trend, at that moment it is good to buy Altcoins because I am sure they can jump 2x, 3x, 5x, even more, and this is because I have seen it in the trends that Bitcoin has developed.


better yet, diversify your assets not only in bitcoin or crypto, but other assets like real-estate or precious metals. we know that crypto market is a very volatile one up until now. if you have tangible assets, you can still be at peace with yourself if the crypto market crash for a reason. hard to trust alts these days. if you will venture into alts, make sure you are keeping up with their developments, otherwise, don't touch this market.

Actually, I think we all always have a fresh start every day, because in trading you learn every day. I am a person who likes to read many books about trading, about the stock market, about any speculative market because I know that all the information that can be extracted from there is very applicable now.

In some books they always recommend diversifying your money, just as you say, I think that one of the best things that can be done is to diversify into Real Estate, Gold, and why not, have some Fiat money for any emergency, even sometimes even in any business you can put a part of the money.
5407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: February 26, 2023, 12:44:21 AM
Cristiano Ronaldo has officially put on a show. It was a game we would call Cristiano Ronaldo Against Al-Wehda.

Everyone knows that Ronaldo is a football player far above the quality of the Saudi Pro League. I have no doubt that he will produce more goals and assists as he gets used to the SPL. However, Rudi García should build the team's game system on him. Rudi García should not use Ronaldo as an ordinary football player in his tactics. Other players in the team must also accept his leadership. If these conditions come true, Al-Nassr could become a better team. Ronaldo alone can make them champions for several seasons.

Cristiano Ronaldo is considered to be the latest ever for the Saudi club.  Because he is at least a good quality player, many footballers are performing well by using his experience.  Saudi clubs are at the top of the discussion only because of Cristiano Ronaldo.  Now Al Nassr club players should gain experience from Ronaldo.  Gallery visitors can be overwhelmed with joy by watching CR7 performance.  Ronaldo's performance will be much better in the upcoming matches because he needs a lot of time to match with the new players.

I'm very happy that CR7 performed so well in that game, it was a goal fest! because he enjoyed them in his style, I know that CR7 has made the necessary efforts and sacrifices to recover his rhythm, and it consists of not taking into account the criticism that is made of him and trying to enjoy what he does, when a footballer likes what he does he does, everything goes well for him because he scores goals and makes his team win, as well as giving his fans great joy.
 
Another very different thing is when, instead of enjoying, everything is focused on having pressure, because it is very likely that things will not go the way they want, and they can go wrong, it is normal for it to happen, but of course, since CR7 is a star Every time something goes wrong, the yellow press is activated, causing the questions in each interview to have an ironic tone, such as: why didn't they put you in? Do you have problems with the technical director?

Ronaldo again scored a hat trick again and it was recorded on the top scorer board to 4th but there is a possibility that it will increase often he scores more goals or is said to be Al-Nassr's current goal machine but it is undeniable that Ronaldo is still able to do that for his team now this.

Al-Nassr is back at the top of the standings in a good record.
There are other rumors that Al-Nassr will sign several players this summer and it is reported that Sergio Ramos and Luka Modric will it really happen what Al-Nassr is doing?
Al-Nassr have really done a lot to make Ronaldo comfortable in Saudi Arabia including his family, because he is happy and comfortable with the many playing time he now has, it is only normal to expect to see him back to goal scoring mode to show he is still a good investment for this new club, although not as frequently as before when he was younger. Ronaldo will make history and set another record if he finishes and win the Saudi title with his new team. More players will join the Saudi League and will make the league more competitive by next season due to Ronaldo's influence.
12 more days left with the schedule of the 30 days. Right now everything is going on its plan and Ronaldo's team Al-Nassr tops the table. With the performance coming from him the position can be maintained. Even if he didn't perform, he is a good investment. Because, with his name the business that happens around the league is massive. Being successful in the league will make more players sign for the league on different clubs. Already top players were into discussion to sign contract for different clubs of Saudi Pro League.

It is a fact that this hattrick is something that leaves CR7 in a great position, now he is the undisputed star of Al Nassr, not only of Al Nassr but of all Arabia, every day I am more convinced that CR7's best decision was to leave To that Saudi league, it shows that when they treat people well and as they only deserve, they perform in a great way.
Now, will it be that thanks to CR7 many veteran players will try to join the Saudi league?

'Special night!' - Cristiano Ronaldo reacts after scoring second hat-trick in last three games for Al-Nassr



Quote
Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated a "special night" after scoring a hat-trick for Al-Nassr as they beat Damac 3-0 in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday.

    Ronaldo scored all three goals for Al-Nassr
    Now has eight league goals in Saudi Arabia
    Made celebratory Instagram post

WHAT HAPPENED? The Portugal star helped Al-Nassr maintain their hold in first place in the league as he scored all three of his team's goals in the 3-0 win. He then took to Instagram to share his delight and credit team-mates.

"Special night," he wrote in the caption of his post. "Well done guys!"

5408  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are your thoughts on revenge trading? on: February 26, 2023, 12:24:16 AM
Of recent, I've come across alot of people talking about traders chasing their losses which at the end, leads to possible blowing of accounts.
I understand that people trade with expections and most times when this expectations aren't met, they try as much as possible to chase after their losses and my questions are
~ what is your take on revenge trading?

In simple words, revenge trading is a scenario that takes place after you have lost more than half of your capital. So you are desperate to recover your funds by buying into every hype you come across until you have lost all of your capital.

what is your take on revenge trading?

Revenge trading is bad, it is easiest way to wreck your trading capital and your entire savings; it also happens when you pour all your emotions into a trade. Remember to never trade with your emotions


~ Do you think people intentionally go into revenge trading or is is just emotional?

Revenge trading is not an intentional act; instead it is an action borne out of desperation and triggered by too many losses.

~ what will you advise someone making series of losses ?

IF you encounter series of losses, lets say about 75% of your capital; stop trading, take a break; then return. On your return, find out what you are doing wrong and why you have so many losses; find a solution to your troubles before resuming trade again

They are good advice, also you have to keep something in mind, every time we win it is because another trader lost, an exchange or a broker will never lose, that is the first thing to know.

For these reasons, thinking about seeking revenge is a bad decision, also the market is simply benevolent, it will always give us the opportunity to enter at another time, and perhaps that other time is the best opportunity to win and recover what was lost, that's right. what every trader should do, and remember that at some point if he lost it was because of the trader himself, for having chosen the wrong move.
5409  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading addiction, are you coping? on: February 25, 2023, 11:52:33 PM
I just wonder if there could be any more info about being addicted to trading. The article only gave out checking prices constantly, even in the middle of the night regardless of everything or anything. I mean I've been there, but I wouldn't have considered myself addicted to trading (and it was rather light, definitely didn't wake up just to check prices). Well, I definitely felt the stress of trading, I wasn't even aggressive heck I was actually scared of every drop to the point where I lose money instead of profiting.

And honestly, if you have the skills, I'd consider addiction to trading be well worth it at some point.

I think that checking prices is not an addiction, and that is something that I see as normal, since when there is a culture about Bitcoin and the way of operating it is something that is acquired depending on the type of operator, for example I am more into operating in the medium and long term, that is something that I do like this, because operating in the short term is not convenient for me because I am not very good in that temporality, however I want to learn, but I think that you need to know a lot to do it I have seen that some of them burn the account, and that is what should be avoided.
5410  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading as wealth. on: February 25, 2023, 11:33:14 PM

Trading is simple, but not as simple as one might think. I am very clear about this assumption because basically anyone can buy anything and at any price, it is free for everyone. But analysis can help traders buy at prices that tend to be more profitable where low prices are the main target for starting entry. However, analysis is not as easy as we speak, it is much more difficult for beginners or still difficult for anyone who does not want to learn even if they have been involved in this space for many years.
Between trading and long-term investment, both have advantages and disadvantages, it all depends on how we manage these long-term trades and investments. Those professional traders can make a lot of profit from trading and those who patiently buy gradually for long-term investments also do not lose and have a lot to gain when they cut their profits.

Quote
No matter how simple trading is, it is not as good as long-term investing. Bitcoin is one of the most profitable assets in the long term, and anyone can do it.
Bitcoin long term is also beyond doubt, highly recommended.

Long term traders always make a lot of money as long term trading can become an investment and if you choose a currency like Bitcoin you will most likely make short, medium or long term profits that is the advantage of Bitcoin.

The bitcoin market has a lot of volatility, it can make the price go up or down, you don't know.To guarantee success in an investment, you have to be patient and very willing not to withdraw your investment in case things go wrong, because bad news, fundamentals, wars are going to appear, and that obviously makes some investors panic and sell.
5411  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin trading or Investing in the stock market on: February 25, 2023, 09:47:13 PM
Which is the best?  Trading on bitcoin or investing in the stock market? The battle between short period earning and long-term earning. Share your thought about it.
The main question for the person to answer is, "What are your financial goals?" Both bitcoin trading and investing in the stock market are very profitable, but they are not without their risks.
Unlike stocks the market, bitcoin is unregulated and presents more risks. Personally, I think it should not be one or the other but one and the other.
The key here is to err on the side of caution and diversify your portfolio, this way, you are on the safe side and will balance out your risk and profit outcome.

The difference that I see in the Stock Market with the Bitcoin market is that in the Stock Market and in forex the volume is consolidated and it is much better to do a good analysis with the consolidated volume, while with Bitcoin the Volume is not consolidated , and that is equivalent to thinking that it is identical to entering a casino and gambling. Of course, both markets are very profitable, but you have to know how to operate, you can't guess, it's not like gambling, here things have to have a good study to avoid losing money, it's best to trade knowing very well what is does, and obviously the Bitcoin market has higher volatility.
5412  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My advice If you are here to make money on: February 25, 2023, 07:51:09 PM
Many people who enter here especially to earn money with trading is that they do not give up, but yes, do not give up if you study the market enough, what you can do is read a lot about trading, but not technical analysis but also of how to understand or comprehend the market, if a person is studious, he knows that a book will give him more wisdom than an academy will not, not concentrating on technical analysis is an option, when a person knows how to analyze the trading system of how to As the market moves, it is easier to use technical analysis to make decisions more precise, so I see these things that way, my advice is to study and read books before trading.

You wouldn't care in all of this when you are really that tending to hold for long term.If you do decide to go for short term calls then getting in would be your main concern.All of us here on this market is really here for

money on which it would really be that impossible for us not to do our best on dealing it up specially with volatility.There's no way that you could really not able to think and this is our main priority on why we are here.
It is really just that you shouldnt really make yourself greedy and dont make yourself in a rush because this would create lots of mistakes and errors which would causes up losses.
There's no way for us to be a perfect investor which losses are inevitable, thing here is that you do know on what you are doing.
It is true, but there is something to keep in mind, I read a very interesting book by Warren Buffet who said that his secret was to find the most appropriate action (with a lot of research) and that could generate a great profit in the long term, and due to to his fundamental analysis or research, he found the best stock and then bought it, of course he said that you should wait 8 to 10 years to see the benefits.

If we make a simple analogy, we can assume that we have a great advantage, that the safe action is bitcoin, and that we just have to buy and that's it, follow-up and a lot of patience, and since bitcoin does not take that many years to rise, it is likely that we will see very good results in a short time, we don't know, it may be like a lottery, but it is a great prize.
5413  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The best time to buy bitcoin. on: February 25, 2023, 06:01:05 PM
This is why we don't know what is the "bottom" of the price, people usually say buy at the bottom and sell at high price, but most of the people who suggested this doesn't know how to determine if the price reached the "bottom" phase or "top" and that's why you have to use strategies and indicators available so you can make sure what to do next. Or just do DCA and forget about the price after that wait for few more years for profit.

Right now if someone asks me if buying Bitcoin is a good investment I would say that it is the best investment of your life just by looking at the price it has now but knowing that its last ATH was almost $70K is only an indication for what will be the next ATH that will be much juicier, and if the person buys for less than $30k he would be making the investment of his life, because in my particular case I would only wait at least 8 years to then have a large amount of money in Bitcoin, because for me it will exceed $200k by that date, it is my assumption and I really do not think I am wrong in that sense, Bitcoin can always give us a good surprise.

The Bitcoin market is something different, it has a very large ingredient that characterizes it and that is volatility. I think that if I could start over the last thing I would learn would be technical analysis, because it is better to have the reason why a movement occurred in the Bitcoin market. market and only then can you determine what's next and thus make predictions that are more likely to happen.

Well here in futures trading we can see the clear example of OP, perseverance makes trading a successful activity, personally I am very afraid of trading at this level of futures because it is very easy to lose money.

A friend gave me some advice, he told me that he trades Kucoin futures with 4x leverage, he only trades with a simple technical analysis, without any indicators, he told me that 30 dollars I already had for 240 USD, and that is something that motivates anyone, he emphasized to me that Kucoin is much better than Binance, now why? I don't know, and not only has he told me, many friends tell me that they don't trust Binance very much.

True, both Erik ten hag and Xavi will definitely prepare the best strategy for the first leg match later, but again Barcelona will get the opportunity to host first and the support flowing from the Blaugranes will pump up the enthusiasm of the Barcelona players. I think Xavi has to anticipate Marcus Rashford's movements because in several Manchester United matches he is very consistent in scoring goals in every regular league match and does not rule out the possibility that he will score again against Barcelona later.
IMO, the home-field advantage will be a significant influence in this match. The energy levels of the Barcelona players will undoubtedly be enhanced by the backing of the Blaugranas. To limit Marcus Rashford's goal-scoring talent, Xavi has his job cut out for him. Due to the fact that both coaches are planning their best methods, it is difficult to predict the outcome of this game. There will be a lot to watch when two talented teams meet!
I am expecting nothing less than the best available players to be fielded by both teams when they go head to head in the Europa  league play offs next week. With Manchester United in their best form in more than a year I'm expecting a competitive and interesting game.
We all hope so, I think that the game will have a unique ranking, because since the World Cup, or since before the World Cup, we were waiting for this match, of course everything is evident in that both teams need to win the Europa League by any means, but not only these two teams Let's remember that there are others here that are very strong teams and that they are doing well, Roma, Juve, are teams that promise, I see this Europa League as a Mini UCL, because the teams are really very good and they have big dreams, plus they all want to win this competition, honestly we have high-level football to enjoy.



In another order of ideas, I want to leave the genius of Di Maria in Juve, a Hattrick in an incredible way, DiMaria saved Juve is something impressive.

PLAYER RATINGS | Nantes 0-3 Juventus: Angel Di María’s hat-trick seals end of the journey for Canaris



Quote
A week after their 1-1 draw at Turin, Nantes and Juventus faced off in a bouncing and buoyant Beaujoire with a Europa League last 16 spot on the line. Les Canaris started brightly, mounting pressure on the visitors’ penalty box. Juventus bit back immediately. Out of nowhere, Angel Di Maria whipped a first-time curler from the edge of the box in Alban Lafont’s top corner – a stunning goal. The Antoine Kombouaré-led side kept dominating proceedings though, with Juventus ready to pounce in the counter-attack.

Things went from bad to worse for the hosts. Di María made a mockery of Nantes’ backline, rounding past Lafont and shooting, only for centre-back Nicolas Pallois to deflect the attempt with his arm. Spanish referee José María Sánchez pointed to the spot and sent Pallois off, the Argentine world champion coolly dispatched. With a man and two goals down, Nantes had a proverbial mountain to climb.

Kombouaré reverted to play a 4-4-1 formation with Delort as sole striker while I Bianconeri made sure the game was played as slowly as possible. Juventus were close to making it three before half-time with Filip Kostić picking the ball from Fabien Centonze’s feet before slamming Lafont’s left post. With the advantage in numbers, the Serie A side enjoyed more time and space in the hosts’ half and set the tempo of the game as they pleased.

It's incredible, but the fact that someone like Di María has done something so spectacular leaves Juve in a very good position, Juve is taking the level that they should never have lost.

Di Maria wins Europa League player of the week



Quote


Juventus superstar Angel di Maria won the Europa League Player of the Week award after his stunning performance in Nantes last night.

Di Maria was the star of the show as Juve won 3-0 in front of a sold-out Nantes crowd by scoring all the goals.

After the 1-1 draw in Turin, it seemed the Bianconeri would struggle in France, but everything became easy with Di Maria in their team.

The Europa League announced on their Twitter page that the World Cup winner is the Player of the Week after his exploits in France.

Real Madrid win the FIFA Club World Cup for the 5th time in history as the European teams continue to dominate this tournament. The match ended with the result 5-3, so it was easy expected win for Real Madrid due to the clear difference in quality between Real Madrid and Al Hilal, who did their best and managed to score 3 goals. On the other hand, Benzima scored a goal and equalized the number of Ronaldo and Messi who scored in 3 different tournaments, as well as Vinicius scored two goals in the final and 3 in total in this tournament and was nominated as the best player. In addition, Valverde scored two goals and surpassed the 10 goals threshold that his coach Ancelotti bet on him to surpass this season. In conclusion, Real Madrid won their first title this year. Although they don't live their best days, this title may get them on the right path again.


I enjoyed the game a lot, the truth was I knew that Madrid was going to win, but something caught my attention a lot, whenever Arturo Vidal (Chilean), the Flamengo player, has given him great bullying, because he referred to Real Madrid in a a very grotesque way, and he didn't even manage to play against them, I wonder what is going through that player's mind when he sees that Real Madrid won? and that he didn't even get a chance to see them even on the court or as a guest? It's sad, but at the same time these things should never be said by a player, because things can turn out that way and it looks very bad.

Without a doubt the biggest problem would be when this tournament could take place if it is expanded, which is why if I was given a choice I will change this tournament and instead of being held every year it would only be held every four years, which is the format of the world cup, this way winning the tournament will become way more important and it will make easier to make room for it, however if the intentions of FIFA are to hold this tournament every year then they may encounter resistance by European clubs as their calendar is saturated already.

Fifa is already making announcements about the format and date of the new competition:

To sum it up very simply, the FIFA Club World Cup will be exactly what the World Cup is today with 32 teams, every 4 years.
Starting in 2025.


Wow, there are 12 teams that UEFA is going to have, that translates into almost all the most famous clubs, well that doesn't seem bad to me, from CONMEBOL 6, and it seems to me that there are very few teams, because there is a lot of quality in the leagues , especially the Brazilian and Argentine, I cannot deny that the Colombian and Chilean leagues are very exciting, they live them with great intensity, as for the others I don't care, because UEFA usually reaches the end and wins it, in my way of See this, I think the teams that can stop the Europeans are the Brazilians or the Argentines.

Indeed, if he mange to win his upcoming fight, automatically the winner of Magsayo and Figueroa's fight will be declared as new title holder from that said division,

It's not automatic given there's another scenario.

The winner between Mark Magsayo and Brandon Figueroa will only be elevated from interim to regular champion if Vargas decides to move up if he wins against Foster. If Vargas loses, he will need to mandatory defend his 126 titles against the winner between Magsayo and Figueroa.

But for me, I'd rather see Vargas wins this match and move forward on achieving multiple titles per division.

If I'm not mistaken, it will be Vargas' 4th title division champion if he wins against Foster.

I guess that leads to the same thing mate as @Fredomago also stated above that "if he (Vargas) manage to win his upcoming fight" that would also mean that the winner of Figueroa-Magsayo fight will be declared as the regular champion and not as Interim champion, so somehow that's quite automatic as long as Vargas will conquer Foster successfully.

It is not bad and you are absolutely right of course there must also be an apparent result and that is that as you say Vargas can beat foster although it is not very far from reality we all know that this can happen and without a doubt having that responsibility I do not think that Vargas is going to waste it, of course, I am not trying to say that Foster is going to give away the fight or that Foster is going to be like a white dove that is going to leave everything on a silver platter for Vargas, because that result will be sought no matter what, we have many of us who are fans and know that anything can happen in boxing.
Inoue easily won against Paul Butler, conquering all opponents in the Bantamweight division, Inoue decided to increase the weight class. His opponent in the new Super Bantamweight class is most likely Fulton .
Fulton holds two world championship belts, WBO and WBC, is the world No. 1 boxer in this weight class. Against Fulton, Inoue will surely face the biggest and most difficult test ever.
I look forward to having a confrontation as soon as possible .

Not most likely because Stephen Fulton is indeed Inoue's first assignment in his transfer at 122, hence why we have a separate thread about Inoue vs Fulton.
Read here: https://www.espn.ph/boxing/story/_/id/35474707/naoya-inoue-stephen-fulton-agree-122-pound-title-bout
The thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5436075.0

And about Inoue's recent fight with Butler, it's almost guaranteed the Inoue will unify all the belts and become the undisputed champion even before their fight commenced because it's too plain to see that Butler doesn't have what it takes to defeat a champion caliber especially if we are talking about him facing the Monster of Japan, the man won't surely be touted as such if he's not really that kind of boxer.

Yeah, there was just hype on Butler before the fight, and it's obvious that he wanted to make some noise. However, when the fight started, it's obvious that he is no match, but still commend him for staying and almost last the full 12 rounds but he has been taking a lot of punishments in the fight.

There is also another champion in that division Murodjon Akhmadaliev who holds the other 2 belts.

So can't say that Fulton is the no. 1 boxer in that weight class.

Can't really blame Paul Butler for his action as he just have to do what he had to do because it was his only chance to get a massive amount of money because getting a fight with the likes of Inoue will surely generate a good amount of money amounting to millions of dollars, that's guaranteed.

About the other champion at 122 which is Akhmadaliev, yes, Inoue will eventually face him much sooner but not for now because he doesn't possess the WBO belt. Now as a super champion, Inoue got the perk to go directly against Fulton because he got the WBO belt.

Well I think that when we refer to Inoue everything changes, I know that the fight against Fulton will be something else, many of us are looking forward to that fight, some because they want to see Inoue shine, others want and hope that they can see Inoue lose , and I think that the comparisons at this point are not something very appropriate, when Inoue was in that category you could say many things, in fact, he is the undisputed champion, Butler and everyone knows it, what happened is that now It is another weight, another level, things can change.

I also remember the great Brazilian generation from the 1982 World Cup led by Zico, Socrates, Falcao... they were really football artists and not football players.
We were all convinced that they would be world champions in 1982, but then they unexpectedly lost to Italy.
It was shown that ''dying in beauty'' is not enough for success, but that you need to play solid and organized football and especially be strong in defense.
The generation of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo... was at its peak in 1998-2002 and I don't understand how they lost the final in 1998.
Such players appear once in a generation and it is obvious that today Brazil does not have such players and team anymore.
Yes, exactly, you are correct!
Some players think they are gods and that they are indestructible!

And that's the worst thought a player can have is, "thinking he's indestructible"!
They are still human and make mistakes, he's not perfect

I believe that every football "ERA" had a player like that, for example Brazil, they had great chances of being champions in 1982, and that didn't happen, the same happened in 1998, but they lost to France, Brazil was champion in 2002 and I had no doubt that they would be champions again in 2006, but that didn't happen.
By the way, I had no doubts that the 2006 Brazil team was excellent, I even dare to say that it could be better than the 1998 or 2002 team.

Some players from Brazil have already made these mistakes, when they were younger, over time they gained experience and realized that things don't work as they imagined... an example I can cite was Neymar, he is an excellent player, but he could have been even better if he had a different "mindset" when he was younger
Well, those were golden times, for that year it had not been born yet, but the way they describe it sounds like it was a very good football demonstration, now football is going in another direction, I don't know, but I think that before football had In another sense, it was more focused on team plays, now there are many stars, each country develops many players who are almost geniuses and the countries that have been powers since the start of the World Cup have always had the same relevance, we cannot Denying that some teams have also become powerful, football in general has improved, and that is remarkable.

Soccer in the USA has grown a lot, I do not deny it, the MLS is one of the leagues that are famous, but when we refer to Mexico things can change, I have never been to that beautiful country, but some friends tell me that since children, there is a lot of activity with a soccer ball, children play in the streets, in the parks, I cannot deny that Mexicans also have baseball as a powerful sport, but when it comes to soccer, it identifies them even more, so it can be That is one of the reasons why they have allowed them to have those matches, because they are very fanatical, and if we compare it with US soccer, I think the Mexicans are superior in technique.

Latin America as a whole is crazy about football, and it is not just Mexico. In case of Mexico, they are located close to the United States and therefore they were included in the combined bid to host FIFA 2026. The situation is entirely different in the United States and Canada. In the US, baseball (MLB), American football (NFL), basketball (NBA) and ice-hockey (NHL) are far more popular when compared to soccer. The same can be said in Canada as well, where NHL is the most popular league. But during the recent years, MLS has gained popularity (especially among the new immigrants).


We know the Latin countries are crazy about football in their country but this time the world cup will be hosted in America and all the teams hosting the tournament will be from America. In my opinion, Mexico is more popular with football fans than the United States and Canada. As you have mentioned, football is not the first favorite sport in north America, so I hope the Mexican people and Mexican fans are more interested in football than their northern counterparts.

Of course it is like that, they have had very good players who have stood out, I don't know if you remember that goalkeeper who was short but very good and popular, he excelled in the USA94 World Cup, his name is Jorge Campos or as they called him "Campitos", also other legendary players like "Rafa Marquez" or like the popular "chicharito" who played for Real Madrid, due to this Mexico has a very good history in terms of soccer, what happens is that they are from Concacaf and that tie is much easier than CONMEBOL, which is where Argentina and Brazil are, which is something else.
