It is true that Bitcoin has been performing great since it was introduced in the market, but I think saying Bitcoin is the choice of investors is an exaggeration.  There are still lots of investors who are hesitant to participate in the Bitcoin market.  If we look at it, I think only a small percentage of these investors are into Bitcoin while many are still into traditional investments.

Aside from that there are still problems and issues in the Bitcoin system that keep investors and companies away, especially in the financial sector.



This statement is an overstatement for bitcoin. If you compare the number of bitcoin investors today with many years ago, it is clear that there has been a huge change. But compared to other markets, the number of investors in bitcoin is only a small number compared to other markets. To put it bluntly, the majority of people investing in bitcoin are just retail investors with little capital and a desire to get rich quickly. As for large investors and institutions, there are still not too many people investing in bitcoin. They still stand outside the game and observe, they have not yet decided to invest in bitcoin. But once the ETF is approved, I believe that will change. Bitcoin is still not the top choice of all investors in the financial sector.

~snip~

Learn to treat bitcoin like a teenager that's just coming up and still has its future ahead of it and stop the unequal comparison with other financial instruments like gold that have been around for decades.


I don't see any inequality in bitcoin when people compare it to assets like gold or real estate. Many people even confidently believe that bitcoin is better than everything and superior in every aspect from profits to safety, no asset can surpass bitcoin. LAUGH!

You're right, not only do people have too high expectations for bitcoin, but many people even over-exaggerate about bitcoin. They not only expect bitcoin to reach 1 million dollars or 1 satoshi will be equal to 1 USD, but they also want bitcoin to save the world from poverty, reduce unemployment and bring peace to the world...they ask for too many things that are beyond what bitcoin is capable of.
563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 09, 2023, 04:25:53 PM

I have a slightly different opinion looking at and analyzing Girona upcoming match against Rayo, it is likely that it will not end in a draw and the chances of victory will be greater for Girona even though Rayo succeeded in holding off Real Madrid attack, but against Girona I believe the surprise will come when Girona manages to beat Rayo and will have difficulty ending the match in a draw.

I have not seen what the odds are for Girona and Rayo but I am sure Girona will win.
I can't believe a club like Girona that just moved up from relegation barely a year ago could have done the great things they've already done. In the last season, they finished 10th on the table just after being promoted. Maybe that was to stabilise themselves and get acquainted with the La Liga 1st division, however, what is happening now shows that they really understand the game and I don't see them ending this season lower than the 4th position if they continue like this. They've been impressive even in the friendly matches and have beaten unexpected teams this season. Therefore, I will not think less of such a club to beat Rayo Vallecano which has had a lower rating than them.

But I will still not limit praises on Rayo Vallecano as they are so good with their defence and have tried to concede fewer goals recently. It would be more tasking for Girona to slice through their defense which is another issue at hand. But the good news is that the scoring sense of Rayo Vallecano is also weak, a moderate defence from Girona might be an issue for them to penetrate as well. Meaning that if Girona could mount more pressure on Rayo Vallecano's defence, they may not score much but they might score at least once and a maximum of 2 goals.

Rayo Vallecano has been able to avoid any loss in the last five matches. I understand that's why a lot of people are thinking they will probably be able to get one point from the match against Girona as well. And I actually have a feeling that they are going to go for a draw in this match. I don’t think they are actually going to push for a win. That’s why I think that probably there is a chance where this match will end in a draw. But I do not expect Girona to lose this match. They should be able to win this match and stay at the top of the table. My prediction is also that Girona is going to win.
564  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No advertisement for btc on: November 09, 2023, 09:31:56 AM
There were advertisements actually, and there are advertisements now, but at the start there wasn't any. Although Bitcoin doesn't have a marketing and promotion department or staff because it isn't a company, there are companies that are promoting Bitcoin in one way or another. They're putting the logo of Bitcoin in buses, billboards, websites, sports uniforms, etc. This is actually advertising Bitcoin. Of course it doesn't come from Bitcoin itself because nobody owns, runs, or manages Bitcoin.

What you say can also be called bitcoin advertising, but actually those people and companies are not advertising bitcoin, they are taking advantage of bitcoin's image for their own profit. The popularity of bitcoin is attracting a lot of attention from people around the world and using bitcoin logos and images is not really advertising for bitcoin but they are trying to draw attention to themselves. They also have no good intentions towards bitcoin, they just do their job to benefit their business.

Whatever they do, if they put the Bitcoin logo, they're advertising for Bitcoin. There was a big Bitcoin logo on a bus in Hong Kong, that has made people curious about Bitcoin. There was a Bitcoin logo on the sleeve of a football club uniform, that has reminded people to once again check on what this Bitcoin thing is. There was a Bitcoin sticker on a pub, that makes one ask another whether he is familiar about this Bitcoin which is becoming ever more popular.

As I said, it can also be considered a bitcoin advertisement but their main purpose is not to advertise about bitcoin, but they are exploiting the image of bitcoin to attract attention for their business. We can say, they use the bitcoin logo to advertise their business, which will benefit both, advertise bitcoin but also advertise their business.
If you want to shop and come across a store that accepts bitcoin payments, you'll go into that store to use your bitcoins. That means they are also attracting customers for themselves and also unintentionally promoting for bitcoin.
565  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is a “safe haven asset” on: November 09, 2023, 09:24:29 AM
Any investment that can generate profits has potential risks, but whether the risk is large or small depends on the type of asset, not all assets have the same level of risk. Why doesn't anyone call gold a high-risk asset but call it a safe haven? Meanwhile, bitcoin is still considered a risky asset and when it comes to whether it is a safe haven or not, there is a lot of debate. No asset can provide high returns while also having a high level of safety, bitcoin is no exception.

Gold has a lower risk than Bitcoin because of its relatively-stable market prices. In other words, Gold's volatility is much lower than Bitcoin's. This could be the result of market maturity. After all, Gold has been trusted by many people for centuries. Bitcoin is only 14 years old. The approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF is the first step towards market maturity. But it's simply not enough to make BTC surpass Gold's market cap (or at least get close to it).

We're going to need to wait decades (or even a century) before BTC becomes recognized by many as an alternative "safe haven asset". I'm fine with that as long as Bitcoin stays decentralized and censorship-resistant. Who knows if Fiat currencies will die, leaving us only with BTC and Gold as the main driving forces of the global economy? Just my thoughts Grin

It's the truth, gold is actually safer than bitcoin, but many people are stubborn and pretend not to know when they think bitcoin is safer than gold. To be fair, in terms of profit, gold cannot be compared with bitcoin, but in terms of safety, gold is completely superior to bitcoin.

Yes, ETF is a new start for bitcoin on the path to becoming a safe asset, I also believe that once ETFs are accepted, people will have a more friendly view of bitcoin. The popularity and demand of bitcoin will increase significantly thanks to ETFs and help it be considered a safe asset. But right now, bitcoin really isn't a safe haven.

In present day, there is total two matches has been  played in Women league. In Sydney Sixers Women versus Melbourne Stars match, Sydney Sixers Women got a awesome victory by 4 scores in DLS method. Sydney Sixers Women started this match by batting inning and made a good defending target of 134 scores. But this is not a hard task for any squad to defend this Target. But due to DLS method, Melbourne Star squad was lose this match due to bad effort and made only 51 scores by batting 7 overs and lost their six batters.

It was not a good performance from the Melbourne Stars women. And if it was not the DLS method, they would have actually lost way earlier. Maybe people could actually argue that they had a really low target that’s why they wanted to score quickly. But even then they shouldn't have lost so many wickets. But even if they lost so many wickets it wouldn't have mattered if they actually were able to win the match. But the Sydney Sixers women performed really well. Of course, the target was not a very big one. But the start of the chase from Melbourne was really bad. Both of the openers were not able to score, even a single run.

Manchester United's squad does not have an experienced striker. Hojlund cannot be considered a first-line striker. More importantly, we can clearly see that Manchester United are not doing well in the 4-2-3-1 formation, they are having a lot of trouble scoring goals, yet Ten Hag continues this formation. Manchester's attack is unlikely to improve without changes in this formation and match strategy.
It's also quite puzzling why he keeps the 4-2-3-1 formation. He may be trying to experiment which of the player combination would fit his preferred style. That sounds good in a way but it's just weird that he doesn't mix it up.

It's not just about the strikers but also the goalkeeper having a slow start too which is also surprising since Onana isn't some newbie.

That way, the problem maybe about Manchester United made a mistake in recruiting players during the last transfer window, so that at this moment Erik ten Hag finds it difficult to build a good team performance with the existing squad. After all, if for example Manchester United brought in more appropriate players, then it maybe not difficult for Erik ten Hag to implement a strategy that suits the composition of players in Manchester United's squad this season. But perhaps, Erik ten Hag still needs time to restore the good performance for Manchester United like in his first season last season, who knows.

Probably that could be a thing. Maybe he will be able to bring in better results later in the season. But my question is, won't the damage be already done? From when he will be able to bring in better results, will Manchester United still have a chance to finish in the top four? If they have, then I don't think people will have any problems in the end.

Because he is bringing in the results right?

But I really do not think that he will actually be able to do something like that. In my opinion, he will not be able to improve in such a way that people will overlook the bad results from Manchester United.

Australia need 70 runs from 71 balls to win. The match is still under the control of the Afghanistan bowlers. Afghanistan can win the match only if Maxwell's wicket is taken. But Maxwell is batting very responsibly. He scored 132 runs from 94 ballsand still unbeaten.
Still it is going to be near impossible for Australia. They need 56 runs from 58 balls. Maxwell can't run, as he is suffering from severe cramps. At the most he can take singles, but 2s and 3s are out of question. And with Afghan fielders at the boundary line, taking 4s is going to be difficult as well. Cummins on the other end is just blocking the balls and trying to survive for as long as he can. The entire burden is on Maxwell. If one of them gets out, it is going to be Adam Zampa and then the tailender Josh Hazlewood.  

Australia will win this match if Maxwell is at the crease. But Maxwell is injured, he is unable to run. This is the big problem. Still, I'd say Australia won't lose this match if Maxwell is at the crease.

Australia collected 245 runs at the end of 43 overs. Only 47 runs needed from 42 balls. It's not too big a task. Australia has been batting a bit slow since Maxwell was injured. With Maxwell not able to run, the team is naturally a bit behind. However, the way Maxwell has batted throughout the match, if he stays at the crease, he can bring australia thej victory by hitting boundaries.

Edit:  Maxwell hit three boundaries in the 44th over. Australia now need 32 runs from 36 balls to win.

Australia's batsmen are going down to bat against a target of 292 runs. The game of cricket is a game of uncertainty which is also proved today. Strong Australia who have the ability to score 400 runs. They are not able to bat properly for the target of 229 runs today. Australia's current score is 89 runs for 6 wickets in 17 overs. Australia's current score looks like they won't be able to play a full over. Afghanistan's bowling is very good in this match Afghan bowlers are bowling very well. Let's see if Australia team can win this match today.
Yes cricket is a game of uncertainty. Any accident can happen at any moment. Today I predicted Australia-Afghanistan to lose by a huge margin but the complete opposite happened. At the moment, Australia has collected 126 runs with the loss of 7 wickets. Australia need 166 runs in 25 overs to win. Australia could have won if there were enough wickets. Australia will never win today's match against Afghanistan. Because at the moment Australia has lost 7 wickets. So how can Australia beat Afghanistan today? Australia will lose unimaginably to Afghanistan today.
This game is becoming quite suspenseful and interesting in Afghanistan and Australia. 39 game, AFG won toss and first decide to bat in pitch. Australia team scored 200 runs in 35 overs and also they lost 7 wickets. Remaining 91 runs and 15 overs are Left for chasing and Australia team needs 92 runs in 90 balls and three also remain for playing. Glenn Maxwell effort in this game is brilliant and he is still on batting field and trying his best to chase target whose set by Afghanistan team. If Glenn Maxwell will not dismissed in pitch then they chase down this target and rank up in points table. Anything happen right now let's see at the end of game

After losing the seventh wicket for 91 runs, Australia now collect 222 runs. Australia has already collected 131 runs from this pair. It was completely unexpected that Australia would make a comeback after losing wickets so quickly. Maxwell and Cummins are batting very responsibly. Cummins is primarily a bowler, but he is providing good support to Maxwell. Pat cummins scored 11 runs from 50 balls. He should be thanked for staying at the crease for so long.

Australia need 70 runs from 71 balls to win. The match is still under the control of the Afghanistan bowlers. Afghanistan can win the match only if Maxwell's wicket is taken. But Maxwell is batting very responsibly. He scored 132 runs from 94 ballsand still unbeaten.

In fact, the Luton team is relatively weak. The team was in the relegation zone. And won only one match out of 11 matches. It was unthinkable that Luton would pick up a point against Liverpool. But we have to admit that Luton's players performed very well in this match. It is true that they played defensively, but they managed to make some excellent attacks. Liverpool played completely attacking strategy. Luton's players seized the opportunity. Luton's players made some great counter-attacks and managed to score a goal in the 80th minute. But they were not so lucky. After 90 minutes, Diaz's goal brought the match back to parity. Despite not getting 3 points from this match, Luton's performance was very good. If they can perform like this, they can stay away from the relegation zone.
You are right that Luton are frankly a weak team and it is likely that Klopp expected an easy win in this match, but in the Premier League you cannot underestimate any team, and Liverpool made this mistake. It's bad because Liverpool miss the chance to get within a point of City. Aston Villa also unexpectedly lose and lose the opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Arsenal lost points, they lose the chance to climb into the top 4.

Despite dominating the entire match against Luton, the Liverpool team was not able to win. Their performance was not bad. However, they left the defense unguarded as they played a completely attacking strategy. This is why the team had to concede a goal. .
Liverpool lost 2 points in their last match while Arsenal lost 3 points. Arsenal lost against Newcastle. And these two teams are now third and fourth in the table. As these two teams aim to win the title, they should perform very carefully in every match. If you don't consistently perform well and win, you can't win the title. Liverpool and Arsenal need to perform more carefully in the upcoming matches.

Liverpool had to be satisfied with the draw because at least Liverpool did not suffer defeat against a weak club.
Yes, Liverpool at least got one point after Luis Diaz in the last minute scored a goal for Liverpool and saved Liverpool from defeat and also lost points, at least one point does not make Liverpool fall to their previous position, this will be a big correction for Kloop to make Liverpool play better again in the next match, because of course he knows how to direct his team well.

Luton didn't have much possession of the ball but they managed to score a goal which is already good for a bottom club, it's always surprising and no one expected that Luton played well at home too, but apart from that Liverpool must be able to improve their way of playing because there are lots of opportunities too which could not have been a goal in yesterday's match that might have won the match, but unfortunately Liverpool had to settle for a draw.  Wink
I really like what Luton showed in this match because they know Liverpool are very far above them in terms of level and strength so they are looking for safety by keeping almost all the players they have in defense.
This bus parking scheme makes it difficult for Liverpool to enter the Luton penalty area so inevitably Liverpool have to try more from outside the Penalty box.
In addition, I like the performance of Luton's goalkeeper in this match because his performance was very disciplined and even some brilliant saves made by Karminski in this match which kept Luton's goal safe from many goals.
With this result at least Liverpool are not too embarrassed even though this is a mistake for them.

Bitcoin will always be a risky investment most especially for beginners who are still inexperienced in the market. The fact that its market is never certain and bitcoin price moves like a roller coaster, then calling it as a safe -haven investment will remain as an illusion. However,  I still believe that bitcoin will be less volatile in the years to come, and probably by that time bitcoin will act like more of a safe haven rather than calling it as a high risky investment.

Currently, bitcoin is not really a safe haven, it is just a risky investment with high profits but comes with high risks. That makes it impossible to become a safe haven.
Bitcoin's volatility has also decreased a lot over the years and there will come a time when it will reach its peak and no longer be so volatile. Then it will be like gold, it can become a safe haven but will no longer be a potential investment.
Whether you term it a risky or non risky investment, what you need to understand is that all financial investment is risky whether you want to invest or trade in the forex market or cryptocurrency market. Whatever where we are putting our money to make profit is risky and we should have that in our mindset. It is wise for us to know how the crypto market works before we ever decide to invest in it. Those that had not taken their time to understand the crypto market and how to can maximize it to make profits are the ones that do complain that the market is risky and one can not make profits from it.

Any investment that can generate profits has potential risks, but whether the risk is large or small depends on the type of asset, not all assets have the same level of risk. Why doesn't anyone call gold a high-risk asset but call it a safe haven? Meanwhile, bitcoin is still considered a risky asset and when it comes to whether it is a safe haven or not, there is a lot of debate. No asset can provide high returns while also having a high level of safety, bitcoin is no exception.

Even though bitcoin is one of the sources that can be for investment or help in your life again not all the people are capable with it.

Bitcoin is just an investment, it is not free and there are potential risks where it can harm us. Not everyone makes money investing in it, there are winners and losers, so I cannot agree that bitcoin can help alleviate poverty.

...the lower class can actually buy as little as $10 per week. Majority of these immigrants are farmers that the quest for greener pastures pushed into these journeys.  They can actually start small and build from there. Same goes for many people across the globe.

Bitcoin offers unique opportunities for people who want to make decent amount of money and I have the feeling that if these people start investing in Bitcoin, we will see a rapid decline in global poverty.  What do you think?

Even though they want to get up with this poverty and would like to join into an investment i guess at the end of the day they will cater to their needs than making an investment, currently, the expenses right now is higher due to inflation too, only people who have got enough with their salary or money can make try this suggestion. But after that, only few of them will choose to have a food on their table.

I think daily needs should still be prioritized over investment. If we live alone, we can save as much as possible and work hard to save money to invest, but if we have a family and children, we should not invest when the children are still hungry. Investing is important but there are things that need to be given top priority and that is also one of the many reasons why poor people still cannot invest in bitcoin.

I wish to forget what happened before, when I was scammed out of money from a bounty campaign, because I intended to utilize the money to start a business and invest in other coins. But when I continued to think about my money, the bounty award I received turned out to be a scam. That ruined my plans; I was shocked and can't believe it. I moved on, but it still hurts me now and then, so that's what I wanted to forget.

That's just one of many lessons in life, I think there's nothing sad because thanks to those times of losing money, we become more mature. I believe that no one is talented and smart enough to participate in the financial market without losing money or investing in scam projects...Anyone who wants to grow up needs to go through it and consider it an experience instead of being sad about it. Furthermore, there are still many opportunities for us now and in the future, just persevere and stand up after each fall, we will be able to regain what we lost in the past.
576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: November 04, 2023, 05:13:24 PM
Their failure to win in the 3 matches they have played is a sign that Benfica no longer has any hope of qualifying from the group phase and the team should be more realistic now that they cannot force and forget to focus on their domestic league just to catch up with the huge gap. not sure about this.
Maybe finishing in 3rd place and going to the Europa League is something they can achieve, otherwise I think there is no possibility for Benfica.
If the two teams that are now in first and second place in the standings (Inter Milan and Real Sociedad) collect 3 more points, then it will erase the hopes of Benfica. As for Salzburg, although they still have hope, but they still have to hope that one of Inter Milan or Real Sociedad loses in their last 3 matches and instead Salzburg must win all the remaining matches. With a scenario like that, it is something that is very difficult to realize, especially the two teams above will also always aim for good results in every match they do to ensure themselves that they will qualify from this group phase.
Of the four teams in the group, only Benfica has the lowest percentage of qualifying from the group, Inter Milan is almost guaranteed to qualify because their current performance is very good, while Real Sociedad also has a very big chance of qualifying, so Benfica has a very small chance. to qualify, even though previously they were favorites, the Benfica team's performance has not improved, making them even worse now.

I do not see any benefit for Benfica to actually concentrate on the Champions League competition anymore. I think it will be better for them if they actually forget about it and concentrate on the Liga Portugal. A lot of people might actually not agree with me but it is what it is. if they are still concentrating on the Champions League competition, there is a high chance that they will not qualify anyway. So it is definitely better for them to actually concentrate and play with full power in the Liga Portugal, instead of the Champions League. I actually believe that they should rest the better players in the Champions League competition matches.

@Velvet78, do you still remember our discussion about the odds in the Las Palmas - Atletico Madrid match?


Look at the results of the match now, in line with my expectations, there is something strange there, Atletico Madrid shouldn't get high odds otherwise something unexpected will happen. Even in this match, Las Palmas almost got a clean sheet if Morata didn't score at the end of the second half. I hope that people following our discussion yesterday follow my guidance not to bet on this match.
I understand that the unexpected odds and outcomes of the Atletico Madrid vs. Las Palmas match are concerning you. In light of Atletico Madrid's performance, it appears that your forecast is valid. As I saw, Atletico Madrid was just about spared humiliation by Alvaro Morata's equalizing goal, which brought his season total to seven. Throughout the game, his excellent understanding of timing and placement stood out.

Moreover, there is no denying Atletico Madrid's lack of consistency this year. I completely concur that you made a good recommendation to avoid placing a wager on this game, and I hope that other fans gave your advice careful thought.

I don't understand, are you saying that Atletico Madrid was spared some humiliation because they were able to draw in this match? Atletico Madrid actually lost the match. The final score was two – one. And that was really average performance from Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid was in good form recently. I don't think anyone actually expected that they were going to lose in this match. But that did end up happening. Now does it mean they will not have any chance to compete for the La Liga title? No. But that is definitely a setback for them.
578  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buying at 35k? on: November 04, 2023, 12:47:36 PM
My advice is to keep making regular purchases even if the price is now at $35k. Remember that BTC once reached $69k, right? That means it's down 50%, isn't it?
Be careful to decide for entry (buy)!
Although Bitcoin passed $35k and could survive at that price for few days, it dropped again to $34k today. I see that Bitcoin tries to pass $36k but it fails, it may drop again to $33k-$34k. It may have a sideway phase for few days/weeks, before it tries again to pass $36k. So, it is better to wait and see first, just buy again if the price drops below $34k.

Anyway, it is surely very possible to reach again $69k. But we don't know when it is.

If you are sure and confident that bitcoin can touch $69k again, is there any difference between buying between $34k and $35k? You should buy bitcoin as soon as possible, don't wait for the price to drop because there is no guarantee that will happen.

Buy mate , buy more , spend everything now before its too late when the train runs .
Don't do panic buying!! Always buy Bitcoin with a clear plan and analysis. Also, you must always remember that don't put all our money on Bitcoin only. It is too risky to rely on a single asset, specifically on a high risk investment like crypto. Even if you plan to buy again and again, use your free money only (your excess money).



Bitcoin has potential and the likelihood that history will repeat itself is very high. We may once again witness Bitcoin creating a new ATH, but don't be subjective because risks can always strike at any time. So advising someone to spend everything they have on bitcoin is really bad advice, I completely disagree with that. We should have a plan B for ourselves if things don't go as we expected, don't put everything we have into bitcoin or any other investment.

Not only am I the favorite to get to the last 16, but I think this season Bayern Munich is also the favorite to reach the semi-finals because of their form. Harry Kane has been very strong as the main striker this season where he has scored 2 goals and 2 assists in the Champions League and 12 goals and 5 assists in the Bundesliga in 9 appearances.

The group stage felt easy for them considering that there was no team that could really complicate their winning plans. Galatasaray and Manchester United have failed to prevent Bayern Munich from winning in previous matches, Copenhagen even less so. In fact, I really believe that Bayern Munich can sweep all the group stage matches with a win, that's possible this season.
As I said before, even though Bayern are strong candidates and favorites who will not have any obstacles in the group phase, but reflecting on the previous 2 seasons they always finished in the quarter-finals because they had to lose to several clubs even smaller than them, such as in the last 2 seasons Bayern had to lose to Villarreal which was unexpected and last season they had to lose to Manchester City.
This will clearly bring up a new condition where they will definitely have the same problem as before if their pot is not too good when the draw later.
This is also not a problem of performance because in the previous 2 seasons they still have Lewandowski and last season they lost to the defending champions but indeed this is proof that qualifying for the semi-finals is not easy to do so Bayern even though they are strong there is still no guarantee to qualify because surprises always happen in every season.

The biggest competitor for the Champions League title is currently Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich. All of them have big chances to actually win the Champions League title. And I also believe that all three of them are going to be in the semifinals of the competition.

If we talk about Barcelona, I don't think they have any chance of winning the Champions League title, to be honest. I am not saying Barcelona is not a good team. They are better than a lot of teams, actually most teams in the world. But they are not Champions League material, to be honest.

But I think the current war will have an impact on the 2026 World Cup. Even though the Middle East conflict is between Palestine and Israel, this war also brings the names of allied countries such as the United States. I think this war will have a lot of influence geopolitically. It is possible that the 2026 World Cup will be postponed if this war spreads and becomes a global crisis.
What do you say?
The war between Palestine and Israel has been going on for a long time and there are indeed foreign countries that are allies of both parties, but this war will never be able to problem global peace because both of them have the protection of the UN, fact this war has been discussed several times by The UN but Israel continues to launch attack after missile attack which hits every corner of the city in Palestine.

If the conflict between Palestine and Israel had an impact and caused global problems and crises to the point that the World Cup had to be postponed, it would have happened a long time ago and the Qatar 2022 World Cup would also be affected, but what actually happened was that the World Cup could still run smoothly without any conflict whatsoever make it have to be postponed.
FIFA has certainly taken into account all the possibilities and risks before appointing Saudi as the host of the upcoming 2034 World Cup, and it is also possible that this conflict will make FIFA change its decision. However, 2034 is still very long from now, of course we hope that the conflict that is occurring can end soon, so that things will get better. What is clear is that FIFA has the authority to make the World Cup safe from various impacts, both social, economic and others.

On the other hand, Saudi's steps in advancing football are indeed not half-hearted, the SPL is better than previously predicted and the appointment of the World Cup host will improve the image of their football. It looks like there will be even more surprises in the future, one of which may be recruiting more players from Europe top leagues in the transfer market, and PIF is reportedly also interested in acquiring one of the clubs from Ligue 1 namely Marseille.

Let me tell you that the conflict is not going to end any time soon. This is a conflict that has been going on for a long time. Everyone knows that Israel is at fault here. They are literally doing war crimes. But they have got authority over almost every important countries. So no one is actually saying anything to them. Even I’m pretty sure that FIFA also supports Israel.

Anyway, think this can definitely have a big impact on the FIFA World Cup. There is definitely going to be a huge war, probably the next world war around this issue. But I don’t know when that is going to happen.
