~Snip~
Zinedine Zidane has given his reasons for not coaching a team in the Premier League because of the language barrier and even though many people say it is just an excuse to refuse gently and Zinedine Zidane is waiting for the right team to coach and I think that's only natural because every coach He has his own reasons for the decisions he makes.
However, in terms of experience, Zinedine Zidane doesn't have much experience, he was only successful with Real Madrid, that's because when Zinedine Zidane was Real Madrid coach, the squad that Real Madrid had was good enough so Zinedine Zidane didn't have any problems.
Maybe it wasn't in Zidane plans to handle an EPL team, that's why he politely rejected the offer citing a language barrier. It is not yet known what Zidane's next plans are, waiting for an offer from the team he wants makes sense considering he has not managed any club after parting ways with Real Madrid. Zidane should be able to look for new challenges with an EPL club, the language barrier problem can be overcome as Flick did at Barcelona by looking for an assistant who speaks Spanish.

Zidane can do this if he has an interest in continuing his career in a different league, he must prove his quality like Guardiola did with Manchester City. Of course, Zidane experience is still very minimal because he has only managed one team, but he has the ability to make the team he manages provide competition in the title race, as he did when he managed Real Madrid when they managed to win the UCL trophy.

Some people say that just because he has managed only one team so far he is probably not going to be good in the long run. but I find that argument not to be very strong because Xabi Alonso has also not been in the market as a manager for a long time. he has also managed only one big team if we can say that. but he is in demand right now because he has been able to achieve great things with Leverkusen, the "big team".

So it is not about how many teams a coach has managed, it is actually about how good of a result he was able to bring in when he managed a certain team. Zidane was able to bring in incredible results with Real Madrid. he has proof himself if you ask me and he is also capable of doing that again. at this point unless he actually shows some really bad performance and brings in some really bad results I think any club can actually trust him.

The last time italian club won UCL was more than a decade ago.

Wiki

La Liga owns the majority of the UCL trophy because Real Madrid has consistently won it. Real madrid is owning 15 tropohies alone combined with barcelona. It would be different if Madrid were not in La Liga. Madrid has carried la liga to win so many UCL titles. Serie A was not a horrible team, especially since they may still advance to the UCL final. The only main problem if any serie a clubs were qualifying to the final was not able making a proper finishing. It has made club bottled the trophy

The main problem is that they lack a winning mentality. You can see from how intermilan has bottled it last seasons. It can be seen from how Intermilan failed in the 2022/2023 final versus Manchester City. They presently hold 5 UCL places now. It enhances the likelihood that Italian teams will remain in the UCL for an extended period but it must be noted that if it doesn't guarantee italian club to have greater chance in winning UCL.  King is back now. Real madrid is ready to break its 3 times UCL winners in a row.  

One team from another league winning the Champions League title a lot of times, or even both Real Madrid and Barcelona winning the Champions League title a lot of times does not make my argument weak that the performance from the teams of the Italian league has really not been great in the champions league. Sure they have been in the finals but they were not able to win it though. Being second is just not enough.


Let's always remember that Italy has always been well present in the Champions League, now we have the overwhelming power of the Spanish in recent years, but let's also remember that when Real Madrid were Galacticos there were teams like Milan, Juve and Inter who have always been imposed on these great teams and they have sometimes achieved great results, so we can expect anything and the great teams do not always manage to win what they set their minds to winning, football is beautiful for this reason

I don’t understand why this is so hard to grasp. Being present in a competition does not mean that you are doing great in that competition. A lot of countries play in the World Cup. That does not mean that they all have done well in the World Cup. In the end there is one winner who is able to win the trophy. And that is the ultimate glory. I am not saying that the teams from the Italian league will not be able to win the Champions League anytime soon. all I am saying is that they have not been able to do it for quite some time now.  The possibility of that happening in recent future is also pretty questionable.

The arrival of Mbappe and Endrick has great potential to make Real Madrid even stronger but on the other hand, this will also make the battle for places in the first team even fiercer (particularly on the front lines). If Arda Guller ends up staying with Real Madrid next season, then he will also be in that fight. Obviously it won't be easy, because he has to compete for a place against Vini, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Mbappe, and Endrick.

This condition might also be a headache for Carlo Ancelotti because it's not just about determining the best decision but he must be truly transparent so that the decision does not give rise to assumptions among the players that might actually trigger jealousy and unhealthy rivalries.
I don't think Arda Guler needs to fight with these players for his position because Arda Guler is a midfielder and not a striker. So it really doesn't make sense if he competes with these players. In addition, Arda Guler must be able to compete with other midfielders such as Bellingham, Camavinga, Modric or Brahim. However, of the four names, only Brahim could take over his position.

Arda Guler doesn't need to compete for the first team because there are no longer any players he can replace, but if he becomes a more proportional backup like Brahim, he might still be able to fight. On the other hand, if a midfielder is injured, it will also give him a bigger chance to play. So this is just a matter of rotation so to fight for the main place I think it's still quite a while Arda Guler can do it.

Wow, Endrick is still very young at 17 years and as such, of course it will be difficult for Endrick to be included in the starting eleven. Therefore, it looks like Endrick will be on the bench more often and even though there is player rotation, I believe it will still be difficult for Endrick to enter the starting eleven. With Endrick age being so young, I personally would be more confident that Real Madrid would loan Endrick to another team, of course to be able to continue to improve the quality of his performance rather than just sitting on the bench moreoften. But indeed,inthis way it is clear that Real Madrid is really making progress inthe long term because it recruits young players. Ofcourse,  that is a very great way for Real Madrid to do it, because in this way Real Madrid will maintain its great quality from season to season.


Quote
Endrick: I hope and want to spend my entire life at Real Madrid.
The more excellent and high-level players there are in Real Madrid, the better it will be to be the best in the world.

It is really good to see that he is actually taking his career very seriously and he is also willing to take up any kind of competition that he is going to face in Real Madrid. This is what I call a healthy competition. Endrick is not afraid that he is going to face competition in Real Madrid. He is actually willing to face that competition so that he can be a better player in the future. And Endrick is only 17 years old, it is really great to see this kind of mentality from a 17-year-old. This is kind of a mentality like Cristiano Ronaldo Smiley.

Of course, I am not comparing Endrick to Cristiano Ronaldo, yet. But I am saying that he has a strong mentality like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Did anyone realize that the competition in Serie A has not been up to the mark?

By that, I mean almost all of the teams in this league have just not been good enough in the Champions League competition. The last time any Italian team was able to win the Champions League competition was back in the 2009-10 season if I recall correctly. And it was Inter who won the Champions League.

After that, I do not remember any team from the Italian league actually winning the Champions League title. Are the teams in the Serie A has just become that bad? I know recently a lot of Italian teams have been facing some legal problems with their players, their coaches, and even their owners. Are these the reasons why they have not been able to do well in the Champions League competition? That is definitely a factor if you ask me. It also does not seem like any team from the Italian league will probably win the Champions League competition anytime soon.

65  Economy / Speculation / Re: The BTC stability on: June 10, 2024, 10:52:31 AM
Besides, you also need a certain level of diversification in your reserve assets. Other than that, there's also the prudent move to be futuristic in setting up your reserves. Also, why is Bitcoin not worth risking when the features themselves are truly worth it? Why, can you see any other option that is truly independent from the controls of governments and powerful entities?

And to make it clear, Bitcoin is the diversification in a portfolio of other assets. Some people think you should diversify in altcoins, this type of coin, that type of Layer 2 etc even memecoins. I see all those as highly speculative risk taking. If you're an investor, you just see Bitcoin as an important part of longterm diversification assets.

That is what works for me, my opinion anyway Smiley

In my opinion, asset diversification is when we invest in non-crypto assets such as gold, real estate, stocks, not altcoins. Because the entire cryptocurrency market depends on bitcoin, when bitcoin falls, no altcoin can increase in price. So how can we call it diversification to reduce risk?

Also, is diversification really necessary? Because it will reduce our profits as bitcoin is already the most profitable asset. Diversifying into gold or real estate only reduces our returns because we all know gold and real estate do not give better returns than bitcoin. I think whether to diversify or not depends on each person's investment mindset.
66  Economy / Economics / Re: Starting a business without capital. on: June 10, 2024, 10:38:38 AM
There is a saying in our country that "It takes money to make money". First of all I think there is no business that can be started without capital. No matter whether you want to start a small or big business, you will need capital first, be it small or large. A business is never founded without money. If anyone thinks of starting his business without capital, he is probably doing a fool's errand.

Also OP you mentioned that affiliate marketing can be done without capital but one important thing for your business is to have a community that everyone will follow. You need to have a good marketing plan to do this business so that customers are attracted and able to buy your product. Nowadays many girls of our country are getting involved in this kind of business very deeply. They advertise various cosmetics online which attract people and encourage them to buy.


When it comes to investing and doing business without capital, that sounds absurd to me . Business means we want to use money to create money , so how can we create money if we don't have capital?

Even for affiliate marketing , to be able to participate in this business model we at least need to invest in at least a phone and spend time posting or recommending to others . It can be said that affiliate marketing does not require us to spend too much capital, not that we do not need capital. But in my opinion, it is just a job and not a business, because we are relying on others and only receive commissions based on sales. We only act as a seller for them , we do not do business.
67  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: crypto is actually the future on: June 10, 2024, 10:10:07 AM
What about Warren Buffett's Hathaway Berkshire stocks that crashed 99% in a minute? Yes ok that's about a glitch but believe me there is a lot of volatility in regular markets too. Bitcoin of course globally and daily is more volatile, but all these markets have their own bubbles depending on timeframe.

Volatility usually makes it a bad investment in short term though, as much as I like Bitcoin. Remember even the biggest like Microstrategy almost got liquidated.

Hathaway Berkshire is just one incident, but before that there were many stocks that were as volatile as the cryptocurrency market. Especially during the recent economic crisis, many US bank stocks also fell 30%-40% in one day.
<>

That was my point, actually. I was just giving one example but there is big volatility also in traditional markets. Stocks, forex, you name it. Remember last year oil dropped to NEGATIVE dollars? You would be given money to buy oil at the time lol.

But yes, so I was pointing out that it was wrong to say only Bitcoin has volatility. Among other wrong things that as pointed out Smiley

If I remember correctly, that happened in 2020 and the oil price was negative by more than 37 USD/barrel and that was probably a record for the world oil market. In addition, not only US bank stocks, technology stocks such as Meta (facebook) or Russian and Japanese currencies are also seriously dumped in the foreign exchange market. The charts of these currencies look no different than those of memecoin  Grin Grin Grin.

Every financial market has fluctuations and risks, not just Bitcoin. People are being psychologically manipulated by traditional investors as they try to say that bitcoin is too volatile and risky, while they are no different from us. Fundamentally, volatility is the essence of finance.
68  Economy / Economics / Re: Take care of your money and learn to save. on: June 10, 2024, 09:52:59 AM
Apart from that, we can learn a lot from the experiences of other people. I am also one of those people who carries out what I plan and doesn't care about what other people say, but sometimes we also have to listen to what other people say, not to swallow it raw, but to reflect on it. Because sometimes what other people experience or say can also be good for us, depending on how we accept it.
We must be responsible for ourselves, therefore we must be able to ensure that what we do goes according to the plans and applicable rules. When we can be responsible for ourselves, I believe we will be better people in the future, because we know and have limits about what we will do.

If we are stubborn and do not care about what others suggest, how can we learn from others' experiences? When others make suggestions , they have good intentions and want to help us, maybe they see flaws in our plans that we don't realize. We should accept their suggestions and take time to reassess whether what they suggest to us is helpful or not . We should just ignore and ignore those who are trying to stop us from implementing our plans , we should listen to those who want to help us . A person who is too stubborn and does not like to absorb new things and the experiences of their predecessors will find it very difficult to succeed on the path they have chosen .
Don't equate this with stubbornness, because what I say here is not just a suggestion or criticism, but the words of someone else as a whole. I don't know whether you experienced something bad that came from other people's words or not, but this is based on my experience. Therefore I said 2 things before, namely try not to care about what other people say and try to listen to them as material for reflection that can make us better in the future.
Meanwhile, if it is a stubborn person like you said, then we will never want to listen to them, both when people say unpleasant things and also when people say or make suggestions. We also have to be able to differentiate between the two things, because they are 2 different things.

Yes , I have also experienced bad things due to other people's words and that was a lesson for me. I understand what you mean and I agree with your point of view and what I want to say is that we need to be selective about what other people say. There will be things we should listen to and absorb, but there will also be things we should ignore so as not to affect our plans. In short, we need to be open and ready to accept if someone gives us suggestions, we should not be too stubborn and always think we are right in every situation. That's what I want to say.

The solana meme coins could be good way to invest into real world projects.
As banks don't give money so you could collect funds with meme coins and it will start the innovation and a lot great ideas will be turning into reality becouse If there is funds people can realise their dreams.
For example building and real estate developement or any other business idea to collect funds limitless opportunity i don't know why people don't do that ?
I would love to invest something like this and then i'll get rewards or ownership of business.
Sure, you can't never trust anyone can create meme coins but If we going to risk anyways for fun and no actual use case or utility then atleast lets use it for something good.
Also can collect donations for projects and many many more ideas i would really love to invest in this way.
That will Bring more money than actually USA wall street doing it now you could collect more than fed can print money for all kind of projects.
I really love to invest into real projects trough solana meme coins they could be like company stock shares.
Just Nice it will be
All of this is ok but what about the risk that is involved while investing and holding memecoins. I have seen meme coins to drop upto an unbearable extent for the investor in hours. If someone asks me the worst Investments in terms of risk involved I'll name them as meme coins because of the volatile market.

So kindly can you comment on the impact of risk that are involved and how we can rely on some projects even though big project are not able to maintain their worth in meme coins market.

The market is going through a correction phase and the meme hype on blockchains like Solana, Ton, base is showing signs of cooling down. Many memecoins have dropped in price significantly and there isn't as much hype around them as there was at the beginning of the year. I wonder if OP is okay with just investing in memes and not having any bitcoin or top altcoins in his portfolio?

Investing in altcoins is also disappointing for many investors because we can see bitcoin rising but altcoins not rising, bitcoin falling slightly, all altcoins being severely dumped. Investing in altcoins in this cycle is facing many difficulties and challenges, let alone memes.
70  Economy / Economics / Re: Should there be a limit to investing in your children? on: June 09, 2024, 08:20:48 AM
There is a current trend in my country where parents are doing everything financially possible to give their children the best education. Some parents have gone to the extent of selling properties or taking loans to send their children to some of the best schools in and outside the country. I have spoken with some of them, and the reason they give is that this child will get good jobs and take care of them in the future.

I had to bring up this issue because most of them are becoming disappointed and depressed. In my location, children are seen as an investment because they have the responsibility to take care of their parents when they are retired, old, or unemployed. So parents will want to invest high in education because they think it will bring high returns. Many of these students who attended prestigious schools end up becoming unemployed and are still depending on their parents to survive. I also assume that many of them regret going the extra mile to give their children the best. They have lost money and are also in debt but their children are still dependants.

Do you think parents should have a limit on the amount they can invest in their children?
Every parents wants the best for their children that is why the parents of this days are working so tirelessly to makes sure they give their children the best educational qualifications they can afford while they are strong so that when they are old to the extent that they can no longer work or become an unemployed or retired as you stated, the children can take care of them. However most children have brought a lot of disappointment to their parents, although most of this cases are not the children fault because speaking from what economy can offer, most children and youths have been disappointed by the state of economy in their country and this is the main reasons why parents works so much to invest in their children. Because of disappointments, some parents don't want to depend on one child alone, they give birth to lot of children and thy also invest on them in different ways so that if the first cant offer anything in future thr last might be able to bring something to the table.

If you and your husband are having financial difficulties and you want to have many children because you hope they will take care of you in the future, how will you first raise them when you have no money? Raising and providing for a child today is a difficult problem for many parents, how can they think about having more children when they don't have enough financial capacity?

I don't know how it is in your country but in mine. Every parent wants their child to have a better life than them and they will sacrifice their whole life to do that. They have never thought or expected that their children would have to take care of them when they get old, they have never tied that to their children, it will all depend on their children's thoughts.
Parents who invest in their children only hope that their children will escape poverty and future generations will escape poverty. No parent invests in their children just because they want someone to take care of them in their old age.

Personally, I am also making efforts and sacrifices for my children. What I want is for them to have a better life than my parents, better than me, I never dared to think that they would take care of me, I didn't want to put pressure on them or become a burden to them.

Follow your own rules and plans without the influence of others, that’s the great lesson I have learned in live in a very young age. Responsibility is different from a person to another depending on the environment where you grew up, for example a child of a wealthy father sometimes he is less responsible than someone who grew up in a poor family and should think how to get money and learn how to spend it in a good way.
Personally, I grew up in a very poor region and very low salary for workers, I have learned how to work online and started to invest and get my life spendings from internet, I still have a long road and efforts to achieve my goals, however, going through your plans without caring about others opinion and to not get influenced by them.
Apart from that, we can learn a lot from the experiences of other people. I am also one of those people who carries out what I plan and doesn't care about what other people say, but sometimes we also have to listen to what other people say, not to swallow it raw, but to reflect on it.

72  Economy / Economics / Re: The choice of investment is dependent on your region of residency. on: June 09, 2024, 07:53:36 AM
Paying attention to the region can indeed be a good point because after all, when talking about investment, it is definitely the long term that is glimpsed so that we must see what the potential or future progress is like so as not to make the wrong choice .

 Looking for experts and listening to advice is also actually not too bad to do, it's just that if it feels too burdensome, actually I think when we look for ourselves carefully and take into account all the conditions and risks that we will have later, actually it can still be done without having to look for experts and ask for their advice.

Today we have wide access when we talk about the internet so by looking at the advantages that exist in terms of infrastructure today we only need to be serious about our intentions and goals so that in the end our choices do not cause us to get lost in the future.

That is only true if we talk about traditional investment and business, areas where we need to have a business base and need potential customers. But when it comes to online investments like bitcoin or stocks, regional factors are not relevant or a barrier to our investments . Even if you come from a country that bans bitcoin , there are still ways for you to get involved in investing in them . I agree with what OP said but like I said, it's relevant when we talk about traditional fields.

In addition, when deciding to invest or business , it means we need to have in-depth knowledge about it and be confident with our vision. Don't just look to experts and advisors for advice because they may not understand better than us . What they give us is only advice from books and theories , even if they have never experienced it .
73  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it still possible to retire early? on: June 09, 2024, 07:36:47 AM
For some, it is possible, but many people are unable or unwilling to retire early due to the fact that their monthly expenses outweigh their prospective non-working income, forcing them to work to meet the costs. Yet, whether or not to retire early is a personal decision.

Retirement is a personal decision and it depends on a person whether he wants to retire early or continue his job as there are some people who want to retire early but due to their increased expenses they cannot do this and there are some people who have lots of money so they don't need to continue their job therefore they retire early.

It is a personal decision and we don't know about the expenses and other issues of an individual so we cannot say something but I will suggest that early retirement will not give you anything therefore try to complete the age of your job so you will be independent and will complete all your expenses with your own salary.

As you said there are some people who want to retire early but they can't because the income or money they have accumulated may not be enough for them to live peacefully with all their needs.

Indirectly it means that it can be if the money we have is more than what we can possibly spend for the rest of our lives, some people who have a large income and accumulated so that they can stop working and prefer early retirement for a freer life, you can explore freely without any time that requires you to go to work, no boss who scolds you and others.

In my opinion, only a few do not want to retire early, the rest most people want to retire as soon as possible. Who doesn't want to have a lot of money, who doesn't want to live without worries and spend more time doing the things they like? But the problem is that we are still facing many difficulties with the current economic situation, our income is not even enough to cover our needs, savings...so no one dares to think about retiring early.

Not just OP, many people have planned their own retirement and planning does not necessarily mean they will be able to retire as early as they think. It all depends on each person's economic conditions, for example when OP is 50 years old and his children don't even have a job or family, he still doesn't have enough money to live the rest of his life. How will he retire?

The future is always a mystery, it's good for us to plan but that doesn't mean things will always turn out as we want. Planning your life is not so difficult, but completing it is a huge challenge.

Several times, Bruno was unable to appear consistent, but when it mattered he was able to make a contribution, as happened in the FA Cup final some time ago with an extraordinary no-look assist. But if we talk about overall performance, sometimes it can't be used as a benchmark for whether it's good or bad, and maybe this is a natural instinct in times of uncertainty.

I think his role is still quite significant at Manchester United and it would be a shame if he left. Manchester United must at least prepare a midfielder who is much more capable than him and at the moment it doesn't seem like there is one. Erik Ten Hag likes to experiment with the Red Devils squad and we can't blame him considering the number of injured players this season. Well, it would be very nice if every problem could be resolved well and bring major victory to the team.
In last few years, we are having too many experiments in Manchester Untied with too many extraordinary players are unable to perform as their reputation which is wired thing happening with inquires are also the biggest issue for them, but Bruno is still one of the best players which Manchester United needed for their better future, but we all know we are having uncertainty around Manchester United and Eric Ten Hag is doing his own experiments things are not clear who is going to stay and who is leaving but still he could be here for next season which will make some better results and most chances they could be able to have better spot again in Premier League.

In this transfer window we are going to have many clubs are going for their squads overhaul which will make interesting changes so right now talking about any change is too early but still I also feel he needs to stay here.

At this point, it honestly seems like we are the ones that are actually interested about the good performance of Manchester United. Because Manchester United themselves seem to be bothered about the performance that is going on from them. They have a lot of players That are not performing as they should be. Antony does nothing other than spinning. And he is only good for the memes at this point. it is actually hard to pinpoint one single player who has been consistent for 10 matches straight for Manchester United. At least I failed to do that.

There is a big probability that Ten Hag is still going to be the coach of Manchester United next season. Honestly, if that happens, I am not going to be surprised if Manchester United actually finishes somewhere near the relegation zone.

75  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: June 08, 2024, 05:59:28 PM

The experience that Kompany has gotten under the management of PEP Guardiola is also going to help him work with the Bayern Munich team so adding his experience together with the people he's going to work with will sure help him to win trophies for the team which is the reason why the club appointed him as the manager.
Being a player and being a coach are 2 different things so regardless of whatever he has gotten as a player then it will indeed be a different story if he has become a coach.

It cannot be denied that Kompany is currently in a situation that is indeed forward hit and backward also hit because however great expectations and demands for Kompany clearly have to be proven by current achievements.
When he was a player, no one doubted his ability but when he became a coach it would be very different especially with Kompany's track record which was not very good.

At present, Kompany's advantage is only that he is indeed with good resources at Bayern because even though this season Bayern lost but they are still one of the favorite clubs next season so with this advantage Kompany will get a little gap to breathe but on the other hand this is also a burden because with the current big club he is immediately demanded to give the best in his first season.


He was definitely a good player. But that does not mean he's going to be a good coach. We generally see that the midfield players become really good coaches. Just look at Zidane, Alonso etc. I am not saying he will not be able to be a good coach. I just think that he has not proved himself so far. He has finished in the relegation zone with Burnley. And suddenly he has been given such a big responsibility. I think it might prove to be too much for him to handle. Everyone expects him to bring in the Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich in the next season. It wouldn’t have been an unrealistic expectation to have. But now that we know is a great team suddenly and we also know that Dortmund is also starting to perform well, we cannot say that it is going to be easy for him. Actually, it is going to be very hard for him to win the title. He also does not have much experience with a big team. That will probably be another problem.

Barcelona have missed out completely, and this is bad news for the club because winning the El Clasico becomes a tough challenge for them. Barcelona not in good shape but the new coach can make it become one, we know what he did to Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, he thrashed Barcelona 8-2 and we know how humiliating it was for the the Catalans, now he's one of them and we know how smooth running he can be for the club. Hansi Flick is an ambitious coach and will do everything within his reach to ensure he's grabbing significant points for his new team.
Everyone will see the performance of Barcelona's new coach next season, especially in La Liga and then in the Champions League. Because previously Barcelona really suffered in these two competitions, it is hoped that the presence of Hansi Flick in Barcelona can really change Barcelona's declining condition into a better team like in its glory days. Indeed, changing a team that is in decline is not easy for any coach, but it is also not impossible for a team to happen.

It's quite unfortunate that in the end, Barcelona had to kick Xavi out but the decision has already been made. Barcelona was lucky enough to sign Hansi Flick because I think he is a good coach and most importantly he has a winning mentality. If everything goes well, it looks like Hansi Flick could make a difference and get Barcelona back into the title race. Now the question is, will Hansi Flick get full support from Laporta and get everything he wants to build Barcelona into a better team? As we know, Barcelona still has problems with their finances and that might become an obstacle for Hansi Flick's plans.

Well, this was expected. Now this is just official. Still do not think it was a great idea to actually let go of Xavi. But it is what it is. It has been done and it is already in the past now. Hansi Flick is the new coach of Barcelona. He better remember that the expectations is going to be very high from him and he is not going to get much support when it comes to the finances. Right now I am watching that Barcelona is giving good importance to the young players. I think that is a very good approach because they do not have money that they can spend. So they have to rely on the youth program a lot more than they would have wanted. I hope Barcelona's authority knows what they are doing with this decision.

Investing for the long term, they will also do trading in the end when the right time to sell comes. As some say, it is better to do it at the same time because there are many who do investing and trading at the same time. I actually do that too.

Investing is easy, but trading is really difficult because you really need to learn it. You can't be lazy about learning about trading; instead, you must have the dedication to do it. No matter what happens, you won't stop once you start. lesson.

Investing is easy, what do you mean? Do you mean investing requires no knowledge and anyone can profit from investing? How can you deal with bitcoin's volatility, how can you not panic and cut your losses every time bitcoin dumps, if you have no knowledge? So whether it's a long-term investment or trading, you need to have complete knowledge, no one can make profit without knowledge.

Making money from the financial market has never been easy, and things will be even more difficult when we want to make money from a volatile and risky market like cryptocurrency. There is nothing easy about investing in bitcoin whether you are choosing a long-term or trading method of earning.

Hopefully they would be able to pay this all back, 18% interest is something and I don't think that it's not a small and given how much they've owed to the people that have, it's probably going to take them a long time before they can finish paying all of the people that have been wronged by FTX, the people behind FTX that have nothing to do with the scams and are big investors of the company is probably so mad at SBF with all of this, they all got a good thing going already, how they got so greedy that they have to cheat people is still really puzzling to me.
OP shouldn't say that everything worked out if this is currently just a plan. It was only the announcement who is confirmed but that don't mean much, especially to these guys, as there are lots of times they fail to make their promise a reality. Yeah you're right, 18% is not small and this can be another reason for their burden. For me, I don't mind getting only the original amount but as long as it is sure ball.

It's fine if the payments takes a long time again but again as long as it's not going to fail this time. It's crazy to think on why the FTX collapse happened but I think if we are on their shoes, then this is going to be clear for us. It is still not right of course and should have been avoided.

Agreed, things will never be okay until their victims receive compensation because look what Mt.gox promised. Every time I see news about FTX, I think of Mt.gox, they always update about compensation but more than 10 years have passed and no one has received compensation. These news only make people more hopeful but people will never know exactly when they will get their money back.

Although Mt.gox and FTX are two separate exchanges and have nothing to do with each other, I think that as long as Mt.gox has not paid investors, victims of FTX will not have much hope.

In addition, the number 118% is meaningless and is a huge disadvantage for the victims because the value of the compensation amount will be calculated at the time of FTX's collapse, not the current value.

The traditional market, as far as I know, is not as volatile as cryptocurrency. That's why the prices of cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin are always unpredictable when it comes to their live market movements.

That's why it's still better to invest in Bitcoin if the investor understands it himself, and I also think that many institutional investors have an interest in buying it because they understand what Bitcoin can bring back to their capital.

What about Warren Buffett's Hathaway Berkshire stocks that crashed 99% in a minute? Yes ok that's about a glitch but believe me there is a lot of volatility in regular markets too. Bitcoin of course globally and daily is more volatile, but all these markets have their own bubbles depending on timeframe.

Volatility usually makes it a bad investment in short term though, as much as I like Bitcoin. Remember even the biggest like Microstrategy almost got liquidated.

Hathaway Berkshire is just one incident, but before that there were many stocks that were as volatile as the cryptocurrency market. Especially during the recent economic crisis, many US bank stocks also fell 30%-40% in one day.

In my opinion, the financial market is unpredictable whether it is the traditional market or the cryptocurrency market. Because in addition to the market moving according to supply and demand, the market cannot avoid manipulation, or unexpected macro news...many factors impact the market, so predicting is never easy. That's why when it comes to investing in bitcoin, holding for the long term is always a better choice than trying to make money by trading short-term.
This is the stock chart of a bank in the US.

Trading can be very risky if we are not ready to follow the right process so we can make money from it. There are so many people that has been making loses in trading due to their misunderstanding about the concepts of trading they have not learnt. There are traders that are making consistent money from their trades and we don't have to copy them and trade because we feel like we want to be having that kind go results. It is good we keep looking for ways on how to grow faster and get the skill than trying to jump some steps to get to the top.

Copying successful traders is a good way to make profits when trading but do not just copy them without learning how they are doing what they do. Copy them in a way you will be the one to analyze the market because this will help you to know how to read the charts of the market. If you only copy and paste, you will make money but not gain knowledge, traders that are being consistent in gains are those that really know what they are doing because we have alot of traders that do not know how to trade but are doing it because they know it can make you profit. Alot of traders depend on trading group for them to give them signals then they will use the signal to make profits but they can not give  out signal to use on their own. Trading can make you alot of money but you do have to know how to manage the money to become more successful.

But have you ever copied trading and been able to make money doing it ? Because as far as I know a lot of people have tried this but no one has ever made a profit by copying successful traders. I don't know what causes copiers to lose while traders still make profits . But I also think there will never be an easy way to make money just by copying other people's signals. So, I would not consider this a good way nor advise anyone to follow this method to make profits.

Instead of wasting time looking for traders to copy, why don't we do it all ourselves? And if we feel it's too difficult for us, let's find other ways to make money instead of stubbornly pursuing things that aren't right for us . Again, I have never believed that it is possible to make easy money just by copying other people's trades.
