I am not sure that all these technical analysis figures are working correctly. For example now it was clear that bitcoin will rise because a lot of Tether was printed and also many people expect a new spot etf.
The price of Bitcoin is supposed to break the $69,000 barrier within the next 7 to 10 months. Therefore, if we reach this level, it will be reassuring for investors, especially since it is possible to rise to the level of $10,000 within two months, which means that the possibility of a correction is possible, but the price is still in a good range and is not denominated by more than Its value.
The bitcoin price is moving up and down as usual depending from the ask and demand and the interfering of third parties including big whales. For the $69k I think we will end up by seeing it again in a year from now or at worst in 2025. Before the halving the price tend to get lower then rise before falling at some point to correct itself then the positive trend will occur eventually. Too many speculation and I insist about the fact of holding our saving until we get a good price to spend. People are talking even about 6 figures for bitcoin, I hope so!

It sucks, ordi, sats, etc. all of these are causing the pain. I thought that we will see some light this weekend with the fees but no, we do not.

I am not also willing to pay such fees with small transactions. I might just pay that fee if I have got hundred thousand transactions to a millions.

 Roll Eyes
Better to keep our money in the safe until the fees drop a little. I was obliged to spend earlier an amount of bitcoin equivalent to $500 and paid like $27 for the transaction to be done quickly because I was in hurry and you can imagine how happy I was doing it!
I used to spend 1/10 of that fees price, it is just ridiculous. That's why some people just use altcoins for daily, fast and numerous transactions. If I wasn't in rush, the fees would be much lower at that time Undecided

Liverpool vs Man U game reminded me of Arsenal vs Brighton game in the first half... Liverpool had a lot of shots but couldn't score a single goal... The game will be over soon, and I didn't expect the score to be 0-0... I hope there will be a goal in the last minutes...
I expected myself a humiliating defeat for Manchester United and Ten Hag to be sacked few hours later but it appears that things went of favour of Ten Hag since this result of 0 - 0 is good for the club. At the opposite, Klopp and Liverpool should not be happy with that since Arsenal jumped in front of them in the standings after their 2 goals victory against Brighton. Aston Villa also have the same number of points as Liverpool.
The situation is very complicated in the top of the standings and Liverpool should win next round vs gunners to claim back the first spot especially that they are playing in Anfield. Aston Villa meanwhile will be second by the end of the next round.

Lens can show that slowly they can also do better in every match, and their progress is visible from match to match.

This season's competition will be tougher than last season. PSG had a bit of trouble at the start of the season just like Lens, but they are now also on a good trend of continuing to win.
I think Lens might have to try harder and show a stable performance to be able to finish this season in the top 3 of the standings.
teams like Nice also appear consistent and stable. even though they are not very productive in scoring goals. but their defense is the toughest so far. Therefore, I am sure that this season's battle will be more exciting than last season where only Lens and PSG were at the top.
Lens dropped badly in the beginning of the season but they almost recovered and they are moving slowly and steadily. With the failure of Monaco and Nice above them, we will see the gap shrinking from a round to another if Lens could keep up with the rythme. Lens will have another test next round against Nice which was defeated against Le Havre by three goals which were surprising! Even Monaco - Lyon defeat weren't expected at all.
Even PSG - Lille match will be more than interesting since it has a direct impact on the ranking, not for this round maybe but for the next one..
565  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 17, 2023, 03:28:14 PM
It seems like I'm quite behind and yes it's all because Barcelona can only draw against Valencia. Even though this is an away match for Barcelona, it is not appropriate for them to play a draw. Even though Joao Felix opened the scoring for Barcelona first, Valencia didn't want to be left behind and they immediately equalized.

Even though there were still quite a few minutes left before the match ended, Barcelona were also unable to complete their mission and in the end the score ended at 1-1. This result will also make it more difficult for Barcelona to compete for the title because they will be increasingly left behind by Girona and Real Madrid. So I don't know whether Barcelona will immediately look for a replacement for Xavi for the remainder of the season or continue to entrust the job of Barcelona coach to him.
Again it seems Barcelona is not in a good situation and there is a danger alert in this Spanish team because they could get good results in the last games we saw from Xavi and his players in Barcelona in the games against Girona and Royal Antwerp.
Now after getting the 1-1 result against Valencia, they lost another point in La Liga while this team hardy needs to collect all these points but after the match, Pedro said their performance was not bad and they had progress after the game they had against Girona.

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/12/17/EiB9H.jpeg

I would say that Barcelona do not have the ability to be champions this season. Their performances have been very erratic this season. If you want to win the title, there must be consistency of performance. If the performance is irregular, winning the La Liga title is impossible. If Girona wins the next match, they will move ahead of Barcelona by 9 points. Reducing the gap of 9 points will be a much more difficult task for Barcelona. Real Madrid and Girona are the favorites for this year's title. If Girona can't keep up the consistency, I'll definitely say that Real Madrid will be champions.
People are waiting when Girona will drop points but it appears that it is only Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are the ones that are dropping points in reality!
Barcelona for example lost 7 points in the last 5 games. Real Madrid lost 4 points while Atletico Madrid missed 6 points. ATM were able to pass Barcelona and even get a safety distance from them especially that they lack one more match to play, instead they risk to see other teams, mainly Bilbao trying to catch them!

I didn't watch the first half of the Arsenal vs Brighton game, but I can't believe that Arsenal had 15 shots and Brighton zero... I expected both teams to score a goal... I hope that the second half will be with goals from both teams...
I find it weird too to go full defence and not reaching the goalie. Brighton will count only on counterattack? The response came fast and gunners scored a goal. The result is 1 - 0 and Brighton coach has to change his strategy.

Brentford 1 - 0 Aston Villa which were expected to win in this match. There is still half an hour to try to reverse the score hopefully.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag must be stressed and sweating right now. Previous Manchester United coaches including Mourinho were sacked after humiliating defeats against Liverpool. United already had a very bad results, being kicked from UEFA Champions League and his odds to be fired after that match are high. He has to win or at least grant one point from that match!
567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 17, 2023, 03:07:43 PM
However, football is unpredictable, even though Inter is leading the group. Napoli are down but still in contention. If they focus on each game, progress gradually, and maybe change tactics, who knows? They may yet be influential this season. I hope to see a great recovery.
Napoli in the previous seasons weren't stable and they were fluctuating heavily. Last season they were playing pretty much good and lifted the scudetto. This season, they returned back to their previous form. I don't think they have a chance to pass Inter with as much as 11 points difference with eventually additional 3 points after Lazio and Inter game today. I would say that passing Ac Milan will be challenging for them, especially after Milan having a nice victory in today's game against Monza by 3 goals to 0.

Yesterday's games didn't have results that surprised me. the leader of the table, Al Hilal played against Al Wehda, in that game as I had already said in my last comment, Al Hilal came into this game as the favorite due to many factors: they played at home, they won all of the last 5 games, they are the main favorites to win the league and also since the league started they have not had any defeat yet, in 17 games they have not lost in any game and managed to score 50 goals and only conceded just 9 goals, this means that they has an average of 3 goals scored per game and a perfect defense. while their opponent, who is in a position very far from the top of the table, came into this game with a very poor performance
Al Hilal is an unstoppable team whether they played in Saudi Pro League or AFC Champions League. Yesterday's match against Al-Wehda was dominated by Al-Hilal by far which kept attacking without losing much the ball. They are the most favourite team to win these competitions.
Al-Hilal opponents aren't very good so far and their direct competitors were Al-Nassr which don't have matches in these days. For Al-Ittihad, they got kicked from the FIFA Club World Cup after being defeated by three goals against Al Ahly from Egypt.
You have the feeling that Al-Hilal are playing alone in Saudi Pro League while the others are trying to keep with Al-Hilal rhythm!

Dortmund missed too many opportunities, Augsburg as well. It was a match that proved why Dortmund has been so bad this season. They shouldn't miss this attack opportunities. Malen was okay but he could do better. The team needs Haller and he's still not ready. It's hard to win with Bynoe-Gittens and Füllkrug. Not that they are bad players but they can't use their full capacity, they only play with %60 at max. It's a shame for Dortmund, they should've been in the discussion this season while Bayern is having hard times but they just gave this chance to Leverkusen.
Bayer Leverkusen indeed have a golden chance this season to grab the title and they should use it since Bayern Munich are missing points and Borussia Dortmund aren't well at all!
Dortmund were playing away in today's game, yet they dominated the match and they made many attempts but they scored only one goal which show how much they need good attackers to finish the wasted opportunities.
Well, Borussia Dortmund aren't failing alone apparently, even Leipzig are struggling but this time at home against Hoffenheim. The result is a one goal draw with 20 minutes left on the game.

Manchester City are playing right now against Crystal Palace which is defending with 7 players and sometimes with the whole team, yet Grealish managed to score a goal after VAR verification. If he was like 1 cm in advance it would be disallowed and that goal might be a discussion subject.
Manchester City are pushing and Foden shot was so close. Meanwhile, Ederson deserved a red card instead of the yellow card he received! He was targeting the foot of the player and he was lucky the attack was in the side otherwise he will get red carded.
Manchester City are playing way better and the full defence tactic of Crystal Palace is useless in my opinion.

With a fee of nearly 70 million pounds, the former Real Madrid star played well in his first season with the MU. However, in the 2023/24 season, Casemiro suddenly declined and is recovering until the end of the year due to a hamstring problem. PSG is considering strengthening its midfield in the winter transfer window, with midfielder Casemiro being one of the targets. They don't necessarily choose young players, experienced players are also worth picking. If they liquidate him for a bargain price under 30 million.
Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia is also ready to jump into the race for a signature, in the context of the 31-year-old midfielder's future at Old Trafford being quite unclear. It seems that Saudi Arabia is always a place to store outdated players.

But it is quite seldom that it is a good decision to buy a player who starts getting injuries that take a long time to recover from and then try to integrate that player for long term success. Maybe Casemiro can become a bench player who helps out when some other player gets injured, but I can imagine that he wants more than that and would not be ok with sitting on the bench most of the time. But then if the money is enough, I guess he would be fine with any role in the team. But if that is the case he could also just go to Saudi Arabia and get a lot more than he would get at PSG.

Perhaps going to Saudi Arabia will be an excellent choice for Casemiro and the teams. He may still be playing well now, but will he still be in good form next year? European football teams are prioritizing young players. They are fed up with injuries and the performance of older players. These players refused to take a pay cut and felt uncomfortable being placed on the bench. The perfect choice is still card bridges. But again, the older players are very experienced. They are always the pillars guiding young players. A team without experienced players will be a weak point.
Casemiro is a good player whether when he was playing with Real Madrid and when he joined Manchester United too. While he was in Manchester United he boosted the team to recover from its disastrous beginning and saved them many times. Yet, Manchester United is still suffering from bad results due to the poor performance of its players, some injuries and so on. Casemiro could boost his career further but certainly not with Manchester United nor also by PSG! I doubt teams like Manchester City or Liverpool might take him but Bayern Munich might be interested in my opinion. Otherwise moving to Saudi Pro League will grant him a fortune but no more European trophies!

I must admit that Monaco have been incredible in home matches until this moment. They are currently the second best team about that in the league. They are very productive and really good at conceding as few goals as possible. They are like a nightmare team to Lyon with these statistics while Lyon are in big need of a winning streak in the league to recover faster.  Grin

Maybe Lyon beat Toulouse to take a deep breath. But it looks like it won't take them a long time to be demoralized again. I expect a solid effort by Monaco to win by at least a 2-goal difference here. Marseille beat Lyon by 3-0 recently you know. I won't be surprised if we see the same from Monaco.
I wouldn't deny that I was pretty sure that Monaco will win in this game and I am surprised to see them being defeated by Lyon. Jeffinho scored the only goal at the end of the game while Lyon was not dominating the match nor making a lot of attempts. At the end, Lyon was able to escape from the last place and be placed in the 17th position for the moment. I expect them to remain in this position since the two teams under them will have quite hard games this round. Monaco also will not lose their place since Lille which is just behind them will face PSG.
Two successive positive results from Lyon, do they finally woke up?

Our predictions can be correct and not correct, we just have to demonstrate how good it is milk from the system. Betting before the start of the game seems important but during live matches, it's interesting. Details of the match was interesting in the first half. Mochanglabach Vs Bremen and it's 1-1 on the scoresheet.
Betting on Bremen is random, doing it with M'Gladbach is even more random since it is one of the most fluctuating teams in Bundesliga during many seasons in my opinion. The match ended with a draw making most of the ones betting on them losing thought. The match was quite equivalent between the two teams anyway..

I've no concerns about Bundesliga football but I've concentrated more on three Bundesliga giants this season. Bayern Munich, Borrusia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen who are currently unbeaten and ranking first on the table.
Bayer Leverkusen will face Eintracht Frankfurt which isn't an easy game but they are playing home and are expected to win. Borussia Dortmund will play away against Augsburg, not an easy match but it shouldn't be a difficult one either for Dortmund.
Bayern Munich will play vs Stuttgart this sunday and it is the hardest match comparing to the other ones! Stuttgart is doing pretty good this season and I find it abusive to give them a very low odds comparing to Bayern Munich even though they had mediocre results lately..

It's been a beautiful evening in this game between Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham forest even though spurs has been on top of the game looking at the analysis of the first half, ball possession it's been Tottenham leading with 78% against Nottingham with 22%, goal attempt 6-4 still in favour of hotspurs and shorts on goals it's been 3 to nothing still in favour of Spurs, and oitnof those three shots spurs has been able to find the back of Nottingham forest net with 1 goal to nothing from Richarlison. Wonder what the second half holds, can Forest get an equalizer goal or will Spurs increase their goal from one to two, let see how it plays out
Tottenham Hotspur are still leading with 2 goals to 0 vs Nottingham Forest and there is still 20 minutes on the game. Bissouma got a red card and a midfielder went out. Tottenham are playing with 10 players and luckily this happened at 70th minutes otherwise they would be in trouble. Nottingham Forest until now are ineffective and hardly aiming the target. I don't think the red card will change a lot of things. With that victory Spurs could remain close to Manchester City at least.

1-1 between Juventus and Genoa after 50 mins, not a good feeling.
Yes, the current score is Genoa 1 vs 1 Juventus.
It is quite surprising that Genoa can make Juventus to get difficulty winning this match. Just look at the stats, Genoa has done good job so far because they could make shoot attempts almost the same as Juventus. If this continues until the end of the match, a draw result is very possible for both teams. The match is reaching 70 minutes, still no change in the score.
The probability of a draw is bigger than a team winning, yet Juventus still has an opportunity to score and grab 3 points in this match.
Juventus needs these points to keep up with Inter and avoid seeing them getting a gap up to four points this round. Genoa too need to get points, even one point is a good result for them since they are facing a top team like Juventus.
Only few minutes of the game and the result is still 1 - 1.

I will talk about my experience with bitcoin transactions. First of all I use most of the time Electrum as a hot wallet for my transactions. Electrum have the possibility to adjust fees according to few factors including when you want your transaction to be confirmed, after how much blocks, and it shows you also an alert when you put an excessive fees.
Whenever I want to make a quick transaction and want the transaction to be confirmed in less than two blocks because I want to spend some cash then I will select highest fees. If it is not urgent to make the transaction then I will select a fee that will confirm my transaction in like 10 blocks or more.
Obviously there is many sites that show you the perfect transaction fees and so on. You can use them as suggested by other members or just keep it simple as I wrote but keep in mind that the simplest way came with a bit expensive fees

Brighton & Hove Albion scored with Joao Pedro in the last minutes and won the match and finished the group as leaders. Marseille would have been the leader if they hadn't conceded that goal, but now they have to play though play-off matches. Marseille played for a draw throughout the match and inevitably conceded a goal in the end. Maybe it would have been better for them if they had thought about scoring goals and not been so defensive. I thought there would be more goals in this match, but I was wrong. I didn't expect Marseille to play so doomed. When Brighton also couldn't score a goal, the match went like this until the last minutes.
Marseille couldn't score a goal or even try to score. They didn't produce any real opportunity from the few attempts they had. They just made the life of Brighton and Hove Albion easier in this match since they were dominating the game and attacking.
English Premier League proved to be superior than the others, West Ham United were able to win also against Freiburg and lead their group. Liverpool also are leading their group even though they lost their unnecessary last game against Union Saint-Gilloise which ended third.

Zrinjski 1-1 A Villa
Leg Warsaw 2-0 AZ Alkmaar
aston villa still good performance although only draw in last match meet Zrinjski still lead the group standings to become group winners.
In primiere league, his performance is also well maintained, remaining in the top 4 of the standings until now and even competing for the championship, outperforming strong teams such as Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Aston Villa are doing pretty well in English Premier League and we're expected to win today, yet they got a draw only and saved themselves from and their fans from over thinking.
They are now topping Group E and expected to do good in future games in this competition. The other teams that finished second doesn't seem to be a big challenge to them

* Genoa - Juventus => Juventus
* Napoli - Cagliari => Napoli
* Torino - Empoli => Torino
* AC Milan - Monza => AC Milan
* Fiorentina - Hellas Verona FC => Fiorentina
* Lazio - Inter Milan => Inter Milan
* Atalanta BC - Salernitana => Atalanta BC

I want to place this bet with 15.78x of gain.
Is hard to guess all matches.
I saw that you avoided risky games like Lecce - Frosinone, Udinese - Sassuolo and Bologna - Roma which are more interesting in terms of rewards but way more risky.
Juventus, Inter, Atalanta and Fiorentina are expected to win indeed.
Teams like Napoli and Torino are a little bit worrying since they do have some fluctuations that could turn an obvious result to an unexpected one. For Milan, I expect them to win too especially when they are playing home and regarding their history since they didn't lose before against Monza. I just find them out of their normal forms even though they were able to come back against Newcastle in yesterday's Champions League game.

Is this joke?
Graham Potter failed with Chelsea in the Premier League and then Manchester United will bring him in as coach?
This will be the end of Manchester United if they really replace Ten Hag with Graham Potter, there will be no big achievements for Chelsea and if Manchester United really makes him their coach, it will destroy the squad for the future.
I think if it is true that Graham Potter replaced Ten Hag then in no more than two seasons Manchester United will be looking for new coach again and of course the setbacks could still be quite significant.
It looks like this will just be a rumor because I think Manchester United is still looking for more candidates and choosing more suitable ones and I also heard that after Graham Potter there are other coaching candidates like Julen Lopetegui and maybe it has been said by other people here but still these two candidates...
Eric Ten Hag lost the support of many staff, players and Manchester United fans. There is names that started to pop up to replace him including Chelsea coach Graham Potter but also previous Wolverhampton coach Julen Lopetegui as you said as well. I think both names are just normal coaches that are not inferior to Eric Ten Hag thus Manchester United should not expect much from them. United lacks new blood, good players like Haaland, Mbappe in the attack line, de Bruyne in the midfield, better defence line and good management of course. The attacking strategy and achievement of that team is chaotic and the new coach, probably there will be one in few days or weeks, should work to improve that.
