661  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: May 31, 2023, 09:12:25 PM
~~~
Inter once frustrated Barcelona players due to the difficulty in breaking into their goal and in the end Barcelona was eliminated from the UCL, but at that time Inter was coached by Mourinho who was known to use the bus parking tactic very often.
I don't think it's difficult for Manchester City to break into Inter's goal, the striker that Manchester City has is very good, especially since Haaland has just been named the top scorer in the EPL. Manchester City playing style which relies on short passes from foot to foot will make Inter have to be careful with an open play strategy, because the consequences will be very fatal.
It doesn't matter how the match scenario plays out later, what is clear is that Manchester City are only very close to their first Champions League title this season. It makes no sense to give Inter too many chances to win after Manchester City have beaten the former champions this season. Real Madrid didn't budge when Manchester City messed up its system and game plan, so how can I doubt Manchester City against Inter?
It's true that apart from the Inter fans who expected Manchester City to lose the final, the rest were fans of other teams that Manchester City had previously beaten. I think the average Premier League club expects Manchester City to be able to win the Champions League title this season, so I think they deserve to give their best.

It definitely looks like it is going to be a Champions League trophy for Manchester City. Manchester City has certainly done well to reach where they are right now. Beating a team like Real Madrid is never an easy task especially in the Champions League competition. Manchester City has done that. That's why I believe they are going to win. They are very determined this time and I can say that the Champions League trophy was their main target. And it's also okay to say that they are most probably going to achieve that.

Regardless of the position they occupy at the end of the Bundesliga standings, it doesn't seem like it will have much effect on the game. But let's just see what will happen later.
It hasnt to say anything what position they are in the League , and i still think that Frankfurt can beat Leipzig.
The conditions are still possible because we also won't know what will happen in the 90 minutes of the match, especially in terms of the condition of the players, they can actually still be said to be balanced in this regard.
But on the other hand, with the current conditions, especially looking at the odds, it is certain that Leipzig is the favorite in the match which will be held at the Berlin Olympic Stadium because with the mental condition and performance in this season's competition, Leipzig still has a better score, especially for the DFB as well as Leipzig. destroying his opponent by a margin of more than 2 goals which could have been a consideration.

Leipzig has shown a good performance in the league. I think they would actually be able to carry that form onto the match against Frankfurt. Recently Frankfurt has been a little inconsistent. Now of course the match is going to depend on how the players perform on the match day. But if I had to predict I will say that Leipzig seems to be the better team going into this DFB-Pokal final.

Now if that's was to happen and Kai Havertz was already sold, it'll be a lost to us. Kai havertz hasn't been his best self this season and that's because he was been played out of position. He isn't a striker and the new coach has to remember that and don't make the same mistakes other coaches were making. Joao felix is now the first player to be off-loaded by Mauricio Pochettino and I'm loving it. He needs to sell more so we can used the money generated to balance our books and avoid the punishment of the financial fair play.
Zakaria will also return to Juventus because he is not part of the plan for next season and Chelsea will not exercise the buy option clause. Lotus cheek is another player who is close to leaving; he has reached personal terms with AC Milan and is expected to leave next month. Kante and Mount contracts are currently halted and there is no contract talk. Poch will have a very busy week when he arrives next month, as there are too many decisions he needs to make to clear some deadwood before pre-season.

Everyone is actually thinking about leaving Chelsea huh! ! Well, it is understandable if the players are trying to do so. Because Chelsea is not the best bet for anyone right now. Honestly, I feel like Chelsea is going to lose a lot of players and that is going to force them to be in a downward spiral. I am quite certain that Chelsea is probably not going to improve. Kante and Mount are surely leaving in my opinion. There is actually no reason for any of them to stay.

How do you guys see game 1? It will be interesting to see the battle of strategies in this series. I'm thinking coach Spo will try to focus the defense on Murray and the supporting players. He knows they can't stop Jokic no matter who he puts to guard him so may as well let him take all the shots to tire him out as early as possible.

For the whole series, I believe it will be dominated by Nuggets.
For the game 1, Nuggets probably already formulated strats against Heat since they (Heat) just came from a 7-game series.
Initially, I think this year is Nuggets'. But who knows what Heat can do.

On paper, it does look like the Denver Nuggets are going to beat the Miami Heat. It is also true that the Miami Heat had to go through a long process to get to the finals. But the Denver Nuggets did not have to face any problem like that. Yes, the Miami Heat should not be able to win against the Denver Nuggets. But the way Miami Heat has performed recently no one knows what actually can happen. There might be surprises because Miami Heat has been very unpredictable.
665  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 2024 halving less than 1 year away on: May 30, 2023, 03:46:50 PM
I have a mindset that when the game gets too simple, people will easily predict the market will go up, and bitcoin will hit ATH after the halving.  then we will all sell bitcoins for profit, so who will buy those bitcoins for us?  I'm not surprised that most people vote that the bull run will start after the halving and only 1 vote that there will be no bull market.  this is the financial market and where the sharks are trying to get our money, so when things get too predictable, I don't think that will happen anymore. i still expect history to repeat itself, but I still don't rule out the possibility that everything will be turned upside down and the game will be reset.

Being able to see money is still the ultimate goal that we all aim for, so knowledge is nothing if it doesn't help you make money.
I may agree in some but not on this one. Knowledge will still bring you far if you know how to execute and use it well in making money.

Knowledge is just a tool, a weapon to support us, and how to use it to benefit is up to us.  That's why I said, if you have knowledge you don't use to make money, it's useless.  and I also want to reiterate that even if you have solid financial knowledge, can you guarantee you will make a lot of money from it? I bet you're not sure you'll make it, either.  therefore, money is still first, money is still more important than knowledge.

In today's life, having knowledge without money is not respected, but having money without knowledge is still appreciated.  what people need is results, and they don't care about our process of effort.
667  Economy / Economics / Re: Quit borrowing on: May 30, 2023, 03:13:14 PM
One side needs another side bad. yes. Consideration for the basic reasons behind this loan must be clear first. For example, if an individual borrows a certain amount of funds for productive purposes such as investing in a business or crypto assets with good potential returns.

Do you support the idea of borrowing loan to get crypto asset? How are you sure if it will come with good potential returns. Well, all I know about borrowing loan is that, you can get a loan to improve your  standing business but you shouldn't make a mistake borrowing loan to start a business.


Borrowing money for investment or business is really risky, but there is no success without taking risks and trade-offs.  therefore, borrowing money is not necessarily bad but will depend on each case and each person's circumstances. you borrow money because you can't gather that money in a short time to prepare the business. I mean, you can pay that loan even if your business fails, borrowing money can be considered.  But if you have no other assets, and no income, then borrowing money is a stupid idea.
right, borrowing money to buy assets is not always bad, depending on the background. For example, an investor sees a good opportunity to invest, while he has no cash and his assets are still tangible in property assets, so he dares to take a loan, which may be only 15% of the value of the assets owned, if calculated mathematically, suppose the investment fails. total then he had no trouble repaying the loan. even though bitcoin is an asset that is purchased, it feels difficult to go down and become worthless

We do not need to be too rigid in borrowing money for business, but we should also try our best to limit borrowing money indiscriminately.  because it's fair to say that borrowing money without careful calculation will get us in more trouble than we think. especially investing in risky assets like cryptocurrencies and bitcoin because they have an uncertain future, which would be extremely risky for us.  There is no guarantee or proof that bitcoin will never die or become worthless.

You need both money and knowledge in order to get the best outcome in financial world. One is powerless without the other if you want financial success. If you have money but no knowledge on how to utilize it to make it grow more, then it will vanish in the long run as you said. But it is also important to know that you need money with knowledge too. If you only have knowledge and experience but not enough assets to apply them in the field, then you can't make a use of your knowledge. It's like a paradox.

everyone knows this, but in this case, if you had to choose, which would you choose?  I bet you will choose money too, no one will choose knowledge.  our parents let us go to specialized schools and study abroad… all just wanted us to be good, and the purpose of studying well was just to make a lot of money. Being able to see money is still the ultimate goal that we all aim for, so knowledge is nothing if it doesn't help you make money.
670  Economy / Economics / Re: Fake support? on: May 29, 2023, 11:31:15 PM
I don't know if they and the US compete in this crypto space. but as far as I know, even if the Chinese government strictly implements the bans, their people still quietly use cryptocurrencies and even still mine bitcoins.  in a recent report, they even surpassed Russia, second only to the US in bitcoin mining. I don't think it's possible to ban crypto, it's just that they're more careful in their approach, and they're taking it slowly.  we live in the world of technology, there is no reason why a great country like China should ignore it.
671  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Investing in memecoins profitability on: May 29, 2023, 11:22:00 PM
Meme coins are just a pump and dump project, a high-profit, quick investment that loses all its capital at the same time. The risk is higher than the benefits; there are just a few lucky ones that always get their hands on the profit part.

One thing about meme coins is that they don't actually have any purpose; the only thing that sustains them is the hype created around them. Once the hype is down and promoters and influencers stop talking about it, you will realize how fast the price will be declining and dropping because those coins don't actually have a real use case.

Purpose, use case, technology...blah...all theory is cliché in this market.  so far, apart from bitcoin being designed as a P2P payment method, the rest is created with the purpose of selling tokens for profit, and not a single technology or altcoins has been applied in practice. it's all just gambling.
we are here for profit, not too many people know about technology, and no one is here to give free support without benefit.  so there is no need to compare altcoins with each other as they are all basically shitcoins.  you can invest it anywhere as long as you know what you're doing with your money.
672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 29, 2023, 08:58:45 PM
Did you see Juventus' defeat to AC Milan as normal? I am putting Juventus ahead of AC Milan in all aspects starting from performance. Against AC Milan I thought Juventus would pretty much secure a win but they failed. How do you see this defeat?
It didn't come as a surprise that Juventus lost. Look at how the players played in the field. Apparently, their spirits are down most of players looked want to end the game or season quickly. This season is just not for Juventus - the deduction of points and being stuck with the manager Allegri  who seems very adamant to change his tactics together with a bunch of incompetent management team. It is so unreal that a team who used to be feared is now looking like they need to be relegated to Serie B so that they can learn all over again how to be champions.
The time has not been good for Juventus.  but one thing is at this moment it feels like they are still in a good chance of finishing in the top six. Roma has to lose the next match and Juventus has to win the next for Juventus to finish in the top 6.  Roma is not in the best of form right now. So it's certain that Roma will be able to win the last match.

If Juventus can win the last match they will be ending the season with a good positive mindset and also will be able to finish in the top 6.  that will be a good positive to take away from this season for Juventus after what has happened to them throughout the whole season.
673  Economy / Economics / Re: How do cryptocurrencies affect Global Economy? on: May 28, 2023, 11:34:08 PM
~snip~


We agree that crypto is beneficial for individual users, but we cannot be certain of its benefits on the economy without examples that can be followed.

I don't think El Salvador has failed, their bitcoin acceptance hasn't even been 2 years, so it's hard to say anything.  I mean, we need more time to get the final answer.  but to be fair, I personally don't see any impact of cryptocurrencies on the national macroeconomy, let alone the global economy.  crypto is still a small market for small individuals and institutions, but this will soon change as things evolve over time.  i am pretty confident that if cryptocurrency can maintain its current momentum, it will definitely be an important player in the world economy.
674  Economy / Economics / Re: Money hardly come this days! Why? on: May 28, 2023, 11:15:04 PM
One of the reasons why there is financial instability is inflation, for instance, a man has been working for five years collecting the same salary and prices of goods and services are increasing day by day, with time such a person won't be able to sustain himself or family with that amount. Just continue to look on the bright side and give life your best.
Indeed, I don't know how long will this inflation lasts it really affects me and makes my life miserable. It is hard for me to do another job but I need since my salary is not enough for us since I am a bread winner. Before I can easily get side jobs but now it is very hard to find and hard to get since my niche is Digital Marketing people cut their budget in some areas and they are now depending on bots.

everyone is in the same situation as you, things are worse than ever.  But we should continue to hope that this crisis will pass soon because historically, our economy has experienced similar hardships but then overcame them. I was not well prepared when war, inflation or crisis hit us. so I have planned when things stabilize again, I will work hard and accumulate everything to prepare for the further future because I think inflation will also return soon in the future.  It is almost a part of the world economy.
675  Economy / Economics / Re: Deposits-in the bank or in gold? on: May 28, 2023, 11:05:31 PM
I think the best thing right now is to save money in gold, in my country if you save in banks you only get an annual interest of around 7% or and of course this won't increase your money, while the increase in gold can reach 15% per year so saving in gold is a good thing and more profitable than saving in banks.
Gold is an investment asset, and its volatility is not as great as bitcoin, but we cannot predict exactly how much return it will bring, as you say.  gold is benefiting from the economic crisis, and most likely when the economy stabilizes again, gold will no longer be as profitable as you mentioned.  but if you compare banks and gold, gold still dominates. but if we need to make a profit, why don't we add the bitcoin option, an asset with far more promising returns than the other two?
676  Economy / Economics / Re: If they have the solution, why are banks still failing? on: May 28, 2023, 10:55:39 PM
So are you using a bank? Do your family, parents, wife, and children use the bank? Many people keep saying banks and CEX are trash, but they still use them every day and are almost inseparable from them. It's a shame that we still use it but always speak ill of it. If all the banks in America collapsed, that would not be enough to prove that the banking system is dead. Why not use banking and crypto together for maximum effect? Why speak ill of a bank when you're going to use it to death?

Most people around my environment are still very happy using banks and even some of them may not even know about the collapse of banks in America so they still feel happy and safe when using bank services through their smartphone devices. This means that there is no need to say bad things to the bank as long as we are willing and happy to use the services of the bank, because not all banks will experience the same thing (collapse).

Some banks are still able to stand strong to serve their customers until this moment so that the convenience provided by the bank can still be felt by many people around my environment even though some of them also don't use crypto because they only rely on real business and use the bank to bridge transactions in large quantities when there are certain orders in larger quantities.

i agree, I also have no reason to badmouth the bank because I am still using it.  moreover, we always criticize the banks that always spread negative news about bitcoin, we call them liars, damn it… but we are no different when we are trying to slander them. It's like we're cursing ourselves.  Why don't we use both to get the most convenience for life, no need to speak ill of anyone because everything has its pros and cons. taking advantage of one to offset the cons of the other, using both is what I'm doing.
677  Economy / Economics / Re: Will inflation in the world grow by 2023? on: May 27, 2023, 09:54:31 PM
I don't think even economists are heroes. it is not about how inflation is handled. but I am aware that inflation will make those who are in poverty even poorer, they will find it difficult to survive. but for those who are already rich I think they don't care about the poor, I mean how those who lead a region should care more about inflation because it can make many people starve to death.
There’s no way to stop inflation from rising, though you can just slow it down but eventually when the whole economies rises, inflation will also follow even if we don’t want it. Those who are suffering already because of expensive goods might suffer more in the future, the only way to fight this is to make your money work for you and beat the inflation, the world inflation will grow more, as technologies are advancing as well.

Inflation will increase higher and higher is inevitable.  our economy will recover in the near future as it did in past crises. but there is one thing we cannot change even if inflation passes, which is the devaluation of money over time, and there is no way to stop this. you are right, there is no way to stop inflation completely, and there will come a time when this economy will collapse when things get overwhelmed.
Earning money is one of the tasks to fight inflation but to beat future inflation, we need to hold deflationary assets like gold or bitcoin, holding fiat will not help you against inflation even if you have a lot of fiat.
678  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Awareness as the major force for Bitcoin adoption on: May 27, 2023, 09:38:34 PM
In reality a lot of people are still not aware on how to invest in bitcoin, most probably they heard it but still they do not know how to use and invest with. It is hard to educate people about Bitcoin if they are not interested in crypto currencies. But if someone shows how interested they are you can share insights by educating them on the benefits of bitcoin. You can discuss how it can provide greater financial freedom, security and privacy compared to traditional forms of currency. Highlighting the increasing number of businesses that accepts bitcoin as a form of payment it can help raise awareness and encourage adoption. But of course it is up to the people if they want to know more about bitcoin. We cannot force them if they do not want to.
I believe that majority of people have already heard about bitcoin but only few have become interested to learn and increase their knowledge. So I can say that a lot are aware of it already, it’s just that they stick to believe that bitcoin is illegal and is never good to the government and to the people. That’s why most of them have turn their backs into bitcoin. However, it will still be changed if most of the big and reputable companies will start to adopt and accept bitcoin as a currency. Also, releasing ads and promotions about bitcoin online could still be helpful especially for those who have been eyeing for bitcoin as a potential investment.

But the question is how big and reputable companies will accept bitcoin as a currency when they are also subject to government control. i think being able to help people have full knowledge of bitcoin requires government intervention, otherwise, it is very difficult. By far, the government is arguably the biggest barrier to bitcoin's popularity.
In my locality, most people in the area have heard of bitcoin, including the elders.  but they don't use and invest in bitcoin because of ignorance and fear of the government, so I think only with government support will we see the popularity of bitcoin.
679  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I believe that Bitcoin will make me independent on: May 27, 2023, 09:21:46 PM
Bitcoin has the potential to offer financial independence to individuals who are willing to embrace its innovative capabilities. As a decentralized digital currency, Bitcoin operates outside the control of traditional banking systems and government regulations. By leveraging Bitcoin's open and transparent nature, individuals can take control of their financial destiny, free from the limitations and restrictions imposed by centralized authorities. Bitcoin provides opportunities for secure and borderless transactions, store of value, and even investment possibilities. Embracing Bitcoin empowers individuals to become self-reliant, fostering a sense of independence in the ever-evolving financial landscape.
With Bitcoin, it really makes us feel like we are managing ourselves, where it is as if we have our own bank, and what is even more profitable is that the value is not affected by inflation, so saving is also an investment. although currently it has not been realized, but in the future it is possible to realize it properly given the increasingly advanced technological developments and increasingly crowded human activities, so that something effective and efficient is needed to support human activities
I now prefer to invest in bitcoins instead of keeping money in the bank. But I know that the price of bitcoins will rise very soon. I want to own a lot of money by investing in bitcoins. For that reason, I invest most of my own money in bitcoins. I think investing in Bitcoin can change my fortune if I can wait a few years.

most people invest in bitcoin for this reason, everyone wants to get rich by holding bitcoin for a few years. Investing in bitcoin can be very profitable for us, but don't forget the risks we take. volatility and uncertain future...high returns are high risks, so we should be careful when investing and absolutely do not invest with money that you can't lose.
Bitcoin can make us rich faster than other investments, but it is not a get-rich-quick tool overnight or in a few months. so to get profit, we need patience and patience.
680  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is mass adoption or/and regulation more likely to reduce volatility? on: May 27, 2023, 09:07:48 PM
Reduction in volatility? I am not so sure because people will always need to take profit and only very few will decide to keep their Bitcoin and never sell, the poverty rate in the world is extremely higher and assuming all people in the world now buy Bitcoin they will always need to sell and also bear market can't be erased of crypto market because higher price always follow by correction.

The higher the adoption of Bitcoin the more value it will has but also there will be massive dump too because too many numbers of people need money, so when they are able to turn 200$ into 400$ through Bitcoin they will need to take profits.

We are talking about reducing volatility, not bitcoin will be completely stable.  but mass adoption or regulation, I don't think it will affect the volatility of bitcoin.  bitcoin will only become more stable as it has a larger and larger market cap. in recent years when the capitalization of bitcoin has increased significantly, the return of bitcoin is not as large as in previous years, so I think bitcoin will be less volatile and more stable at some point.
