Lewandowsky will have known where he will be playing for in two seasons from now, because he is still a valuable player at Barca and although I know he is a bit older and slower than his days at Bayern, a move to the Arab league may still be very much in the nearest months from now.
Probably the MLS might come under his consideration following in Messi's path because he is a striker and still has much value now when good strikers are needed.
He's coming to the end of his career and I believe he'll definitely get a offer from  a Saudi side, when he decides to leave Barcelona or his contract expires, i also believe Barcelona would begin to find a better replacement for him, due to his a and sluggishness,they'll need a youthful striker that's stronger and fast and would last in the team for a long term, and I believe Barcelona would gladly accept an offer from the Saudi's if Lewandowski accepts to move over there.

 The Saudi Pro league is more better and entertaining than the MLS currently and i they pay better than  what he'll be offered at the MLS therefore I think he'll consider moving to the the SPL where he'll connect with more European players.

I personally believe Barcelona will try to contact the Saudi clubs for Lewandowski. Barcelona is definitely not going to choose MLS over Saudi because they are not going to get the money that the Saudi clubs can offer from any club in MLS. MLS will probably be able to offer a good deal for Levandowski. But not for Barcelona. But Saudi clubs can offer almost anything. And of course, the Saudi league is more entertaining compared to the MLS as you said. So probably Robert Lewandowski would also like to go to the Saudi league instead of MLS.

The trolls just want to make something look funny so that their page or channel or whatever they have gets views. It is hard to do when you are the one playing on the pitch. And if the team loses, Haaland is obviously not the only one to blame. He has been performing well. Even though it is not something very special  I still think he is performing well. And he should not be the only one responsible for losing at all. I would actually argue about what the other players were doing. A player can actually have one match in which he does not play well. That does not mean he is a bad player and that also doesn't mean he is the only one responsible for the loss.
Well fans have the right to say whatever pleases them but the fact still remains that Manchester City are still very strong contenders of the league, and the fact they've lost 2 EPL matches consecutively doesn't stop them from winning the league, because last season they lost several games but still won the EPL trophy, I think they're in their unlucky days and would bounce back sooner.
 
 Maybe when they do  we'll begin to see Haaland scoring braces or hat-trick in their upcoming matches, I don't think Haalands performance is bad, he's still the player with the highest goals this season just  that luck didn't shine on him against Arsenal, and the defence really tried in marking him well and gave him little time to create good chances, however I believe when the player that understands him better (Debruyne) gets back we'll begin to see his best again.

Of course, the fans have the right to say whatever they want. But that does not mean that everything they say are going to be constructive criticism. I do not care what people say if it is not constructive criticism. Because most of the time people just say things that pleases them.

Arsenal actually did a very good job of keeping Haaland silent in that game. And I think I have already said that Arsenal winning this match was actually because Arsenal was being lucky. I believe that Haaland will be able to improve his performance.

surprising that Fiorentina has taken the lead again, it like they don't want a draw in the match. G. Bonaventura scored with a wonderful finish inside the box of Napoli on the 62nd minutes. Osimhen missed a great chance that would have made it a second goal for Napoli. Fiorentina is calming down the pressure from Napoli and I don't know what will be the outcome of the game. Maybe Napoli will be able to equalize the goal. The match is still ongoing and it is still 2-1 in favour of the visitors. Napoli has made three substitute to see what the fresh legs can do.
Napoli new boss, Rudi Garcia can not filled in the shoes of the former manager, Luciano Spalleti who single handedly elevated the team to top level, he's the master planner and gave achieved quit significant titles with Napoli. The new boss will learn and will take lengthy period before Napoli would bounce back to winning ways. Napoli losing to Fiorentina injury time. However the Naples are struggling in games, but with the presence of vital players, they are supposed to comprehend the actions of the game, currently losing at Maradona stadium. Let's see if a miracle can happen for Napoli.

Many people won't believe that Rudin Garcia is a factor affecting Napoli's performance, but for me it is. Although I understand that games change and it is natural for a team to lose, this season Napoli's performance looks different from last season's. For example, imagine that Fiorentina, a team Napoli has previously defeated, has defeated Napoli this season and the game ends 3-1; this is too much. Napoli is one of the teams who didn't sell out a lot of players before the league should have started. How then can the team's performance appear awful so quickly when they didn't sell out a lot of players this season?

In my opinion, Rudin Garcia is not as smart as Napoli's previous coach, and this is something that the team as a whole should take note of. If they continue in this manner, they will find themselves in a situation that they do not like, and due to the way I see things, Napoli will soon be eliminated from the Champions League. If we understand the Champions League very well this season, there are many teams that are very strong, Additionally, they are an unstoppable team this year and aim to win the league championship.



I think we are making assumptions a little too early. Because I believe that if he is given enough time, he will be able to bring good results. I am not saying that he is definitely better compared to the previous coach of Napoli. But we cannot say that he is not going to bring in good results without actually giving him a chance to prove that. And remember this is still very early into the season.

But there is another concern, which is, what if he actually never brings any good results? That is also something to think about, to be honest. we cannot just hope that he will bring better results, and meanwhile, Napoli finishes outside the top six positions at the end of the season.

The trolls don't care who they joke about, Arsenal won today, and the whole City lost, not just Haaland. If it weren’t for the cowardly referee, City would have played 1.5 halves in the minority after Kovacic was sent off and the score would have been more indecent. Haaland has not performed well in big games so far, but I think this does not matter much because on average he performs at a top level.
If Kovacic was sent off with his reckless tackle on Arsenal Captain Odegaard and that of Declan Rice, Arsenal should have benefited from the game by gaining control and having power to break the walls and defense of Manchester City.
The official didn't take a look at it, and not did the VAR intervene.
Failing to score for the last three games is disturbing, though this is the Premier League. He is a top talent, I felt like playing Haaland alongside Julian Alvarez would free him up. But not completely, not without Kevin De Bruyne.

Arsenal won, therefore there will not be such a big scandal as after the Tottenham - Liverpool game, although in my opinion such a mistake has a greater impact on the outcome of the game than a counted or disallowed goal. Football has long since reached a level where a numerical majority means a lot (not like in hockey, but almost).
As for Holland, it makes sense to bet that he will score 2+ goals in the next game. For him it always happens at this pace - either nothing, or a hat trick.

The trolls just want to make something look funny so that their page or channel or whatever they have gets views. It is hard to do when you are the one playing on the pitch. And if the team loses, Haaland is obviously not the only one to blame. He has been performing well. Even though it is not something very special  I still think he is performing well.

I understand that Manchester City needed almost all the players that they had to actually achieve the success that they did. It wouldn’t have happened by only having HAALAND.  but at the same time, he was a big performer for them as well. I would not say that Manchester United actually would have been able to win all the trophies that they did without Haaland. They even used him as a bait. He was performing so well that the opponent actually guarded him all the time and while doing so left holes in the defense which Manchester City was able to exploit.

Anyway, I always think that a player should not move to another club if he does not find anything uncomfortable with his current club. So I don’t think he should move. At least not now.

Did you get to watch the game against Arsenal today? Erling Haaland was present in the game and at the same time, absent. Whenever, these important players are not within to support, he will be less effective.
Last season, during this match day, he has already scored more than fifteen league goals for Manchester City. He hasn't don't so you know why? I'll leave you to go do the findings for yourself.

At Borrussia Dortmund he was a good goal scorer with players that also assisted , but at City, Pep Guardiola is playing all around him and without supplies, how do he get goals? Tough game, you should visit troll football on twitter. They cracked a good joke about Erling Haaland and his parents. Hehehe!

I understand what you were trying to say about Haaland not being effective in this match against Arsenal. a big player like him, especially when the coach has made all the tactics, and also brought in the players keeping him in mind, is not going to perform well, it is definitely going to affect the team badly. I do not think that him alone should take the blame. I did not see much coordination between the players of Manchester City, especially in the final third of the pitch.

I am not saying that Manchester City did not deserve to lose this match. I am also not saying they didn't deserve to win. But Arsenal was definitely lucky to be able to score the goal that they did. Even though I am not going to consider this a very good performance from Manchester City, I will also not consider this to be a very good performance from Arsenal as well.

But Manchester City will not let Haaland leave until his contract ends in 2027 and if there is a big offer before his contract expires, maybe Manchester City will accept the offer because the money they will get will definitely be very big. However, if Manchester City still wants to keep him and continues to want Haaland to be the key to Manchester City's game, then they will have to renew his contract followed by a significant salary increase.
Haaland is the best player that Manchester City currently has. Of course the club will not sell its star players very easily because Haaland is a player who really suits the club playing style and since Haaland arrival at Manchester City he has immediately shown his talent and has scored a lot. goal for Manchester City.

It seems like Haaland feels comfortable at Manchester City and Haaland will really develop his career at the club and it is possible that Manchester City will continue to extend his contract, but if Manchester City can find a truly suitable replacement, of course Manchester City will sell Haaland at a very high cost, of course to recruit other better players so that they can maintain their performance from year to years.

I won't say that. Manchester City has a wide range of players. Without these players it wouldn't have been able to achieve what they did last season. ( The Premier League, Champions League and League Cup )
And without some certain players, Haaland won't have scored the massive numbers he had.
De Brunye, Bernado Silva, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish and Rodri and contributed to his successfull season.

The move to Manchester City and working with Pep Guardiola is the best decision a young player should take. The success of his career is guaranteed.

I understand that Manchester City needed almost all the players that they had to actually achieve the success that they did. It wouldn’t have happened by only having HAALAND.  but at the same time, he was a big performer for them as well. I would not say that Manchester United actually would have been able to win all the trophies that they did without Haaland. They even used him as a bait.

Any of us should have that thought, we should take care of our parents when they come home and if possible give them the best. Don't be selfish and take care of yourself and then abandon your parents because without them we wouldn't be where we are today.

I have already gained enough knowledge about trading by being involved with Bitcoin, firstly I want to start my Bitcoin journey through trading, after making some money from trading I plan to invest in Bitcoin for four years. These four years I will hold my investment and also save the money earned from trading or signature campaign for four years so that after four years I can start building the house. 



But I want you to think carefully about this. I mean, how do you know that you have enough knowledge about trading? Have you ever traded before and made big profits? Because trading is not easy and most of the time I see people losing more than they earn. Your plan is very good and many people wanted to do what you did, they thought they would make money from trading and then buying and accumulating bitcoins in the long run. But most fail in trading. I don't mean to discourage you from implementing your plan, I just want to advise you to think because trading is difficult. I think we need to work hard and just holding bitcoin long term is better and safer for your plan to help your parents.

Hopefully anyone who is a member of this forum and is ONLY making minimum wage in a place like Bangladesh and/or any other country with similar kinds of low level wages, these people should be working towards increasing their wages rather than merely making minimum wage... and so maybe they should still be figuring out ways to make more and to be able to put that extra money into bitcoin.. . and surely make sure that their monthly expenses are covered so that they do not ever have to sell any of their bitcoin, except at a time that is of their own choosing, and surely many of us even realize that it could take many many years to reach a stack of bitcoin that feels sizable if you are ONLY able to invest $10 per week, which would be $520 per year, which would be $5,200 over 10 years, and so maybe 10-20 years of investing into bitcoin, even with a low amount will start to feel like it is providing a lot of options that had not been available without any kind of investment into bitcoin.


If we compare the average salary between countries, it is clear that an income of 15 USD/month is quite low. But if that amount of money is significant in some countries, it is not trivial for people there to invest in bitcoin for as little as $3 or $5 per month. Furthermore, if they can maintain the accumulation of bitcoin for several years and when the price of bitcoin skyrockets, it will also be a great asset in that country. I mean, maybe 520$ or 5k2$ compared to your country would be nothing but in Bangladesh or some low income countries it would be a fortune. With that amount of money they may be nothing in other countries, but in their homeland, they have certainly achieved certain successes.

Their assets and income also skyrocketed compared to the average income in their home country when they invested in bitcoin, meaning they were successful and changed their lives for the better.

Therefore, people with low incomes should compare with the average income in their country to accumulate bitcoins reasonably, do not compare with other countries, that will only make us more depressed.

This was honestly an easy match for Girona to be honest. Especially considering the fact that they are performing really well in recent times. After a long time, we have seen some other teams than Barcelona and Real Madrid to actually be at the top of the table.

But I will still say that, if Cadiz actually had all 11 players available in the middle, they probably could have got away with one point from this match. But still, that would have been very hard for them to achieve. I have to say it was a good performance from Girona. They have dominated the whole match. I did expect them to score a few more goals compared to what they did. But a win is a win.

Gierona is dominating with the ball possession although they are not hosting but the host have gotten a red card already so I think it's a better opportunity for girona to get a win and get away with the full point after today's game but then they are to get a goal to probably get a gradual seal on their victory for today, it's already half time and girona have got nine goal attempts as compared to Cadiz three attempts.

I'm optimistic by the end of the second half of the game girona will definitely get a goal or two and probably win because they have got a good attack and strike force against Cadiz for this game so hopefully they get a win but then if Cadiz gets a goal first i think it will most likely end a draw because they will be more defensive, as they have a red card already and they are at home.

Although Cadiz is underperforming they can still get a goalless draw if the maintain a defensive strategy since they are a man down already because of the red card they have already. But then am certain this second half is really going to be hard and there will likely be a goal but I can't be certain of the team who will score but girona has got all the advantage now.

Government and their fear for Bitcoin!

I don't agree with this. Specifically in my country, bitcoins are legal to own, hold, and trade on the bitcoin market. If our government wanted, they could ban it and there would be no bitcoin exchange. In my country there are lots of bitcoin exchange markets for IDR. Even though our country still prohibits the use of bitcoin for payments, this is not a problem because our citizens are still not ready to implement it

Many years ago, many countries banned bitcoin and had a negative view of it. But even with those bans in place, people still find ways to use bitcoin quietly. This causes even more headaches for the government in managing the people. Then, the government realized that banning bitcoin was ineffective and that it further caused them to lose a source of income, which is taxes. So today, many governments have no choice but to accept bitcoin with some regulations attached.

Because of the lack of knowledge to invest in bitcoin make bitcoin not for everyone.

I completely disagree with your thoughts, not only bitcoin but any investment, job or field with no knowledge, what can you do? You will not be able to do anything anywhere without knowledge, knowledge is a must if we want to start anything.

Bitcoin is for everyone, but whether people embrace it or not depends on each person. Like the saying goes, "when people really want something, they will definitely find a way", as long as they have determination, they can do it.

Many people have the misconception that bitcoin is only for tech-savvy people. That's not true, Bitcoin is for everyone, even those who know nothing about technology, as long as they have passion and are eager to learn, technology is not a barrier.
Yes, I agree with you, @Marvell1. @Mate2237 got it all wrong on this. Knowledge is the most important thing in everything one is doing, whether Bitcoin or not, even in our social life. If one doesn't have the knowledge to do things at the right time, that means the thing that is done at the wrong time is a total waste of time. Knowledge will help one know how to do something at the right time, but if one doesn't have the knowledge, the person will do what he wants at the wrong time, just like knowing that Bitcoin is for everyone but they don't want to take advantage of it. Without knowledge, one won't know that Bitcoin is for everyone or even if the person does know that Bitcoin is for everyone, the fear of risking their funds, the person will not take advantage of it.



Satoshi created bitcoin with decentralized nature and even he couldn't control it, which means he wanted to create it for everyone, who loves freedom and respects their privacy. Just like wealth, no one can stop us from becoming rich except ourselves. If we are lazy, do not make efforts, and refuse to accept challenges and risks, how can we become rich? Clearly, we are making ourselves become barriers for ourselves. Those who always say that this is not for them, that is not suitable for them, are just excuses for their laziness.

If we don't know, let's learn. If you can't learn it yourself, ask someone else to teach you. If others don't teach you, find someone else. As I said, if we really want it, we will always find a way to achieve it, it's all just an excuse for our laziness.
712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 06, 2023, 05:23:53 PM
From reports so far, Bukayo Saka will be a major doubt to play against Manchester City in their English Premier League game this weekend and that's why I think City has derived an advantage and morale booster that'll help them defeat Arsenal in that game. Saka has been very instrumental to Arsenal's good run in the league since the start of the season and without him on the pitch, it'll beore difficult for Arsenal to face a big team like City.
That being said, I'm not gonna write off Arsenal just because Saka might not feature in that game because Arsenal has other players who can as can as well beat City.
Yes, looking at the injury that Saka suffered in the match against Lens, it is very likely that he will not be able to play when Arsenal face Manchester City. Even though this match is quite important for Arsenal because they are facing a team that is quite strong in the Premier League so they need the perfect squad to be able to beat Manchester City. Let's see whether Arsenal will be able to achieve maximum results at home without being strengthened by Saka or they will fail again in this match. Saka absence also really confused Arteta because Saka was always Arteta mainstay in every match.

Manchester City might benefit from Saka injury because he is quite a dangerous player in Arsenal's front line this season. For Manchester City, they lost in their previous match, so when they come to the Emirates Stadium, they will also face big obstacles in this match. But I'm sure Pep will be able to handle it in this match. Haaland also experienced a decline in performance in several matches because he seemed to have difficulty scoring goals. We could even see this in the match against Wolves when he failed to contribute with a goal.

Saka is injured, but he still gets called for his national duty. I don't know if that was a good move or not.

But anyway, this is going to be very good news for Manchester City. Bukayo Saka is an important player for Arsenal. And not having him available is definitely going to be beneficial for Manchester City. right now, Manchester City is at the top of the table. But in the last match, they had an unexpected loss. So they will be very determined to win this match. And this injury news is definitely going to be great to hear for them. But that does not mean Arsenal will not have any chance to win this match.
713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 06, 2023, 01:27:30 PM

Empoli had previously lost 7-0 to Roma which was a laughable affair. And today Empoli's match will be with Udinese. In the last 5 matches between these two teams, Empoli won only 1 match and Udinese won 3 matches. According to that prediction, Udinese can be considered as a possible team to win the match. Empoli used to look good at times but this year they are playing very badly and losing most of their matches. Their position in the points table is at the bottom. So Empoli looks very vulnerable. The chances of Empoli losing in this match are 2-0.  That's what my prediction looks like.
Talking about Roma they've not been very consistent after beating Empoli 7-0 and have underperform in several matches after then, however they won there Europa game against Servette with a very good goal margin but I'm not yet convinced that they're back to winning ways until they win about 3 matches consecutively, then I can be sure that they've improved.

  Well it's good that Mourinho is taking the Europa League seriously this season though theyr not at the top in their Group but they're among the teams that currently unbeaten and have same points with the leader of their group, well the group G is not very tough and I think it won't be very difficult for them to qualify for the next stage of the tournament.

Right now, I do not have too much hope for Empoli. They have only been able to win one match so far and they have lost all the others that they have played. So it is going to be hard for them to actually be able to win matches consistently.

Roma has not been consistent at all. The two matches that they have been able to win, they were able to win really convincingly in those two. But the performance from them in other matches have not been good at all. At least not as I expected. They will have to perform consistently. A lot of questions are already being asked towards Jose Mourinho.

Satoshi is fucking dead. Good riddance. Or maybe Satoshi lost his private key. Bitcoin does not even have a mining algorithm that was never designed to advance science, so Bitcoin is the ultimate shitcoin, and Bitcoiners are shit.

-Joseph Van Name Ph.D.

I'm a bitcoiner, I'm trash and I have a dream life that many people envy, including you. Since I invested in bitcoin, which you call trash, it has brought me hundreds of percent profit and given me a house, car...and in the future, the bitcoins I hold will help me live a life without worrying about fiat inflation.

And you, what have you achieved in life? Is your life okay? Let alone what have you done to help people like Satoshi did? According to my life experience, people who compare and are jealous of other people's success are usually useless and failures in society. I'm quite confident and sure, you are one of them.

Not all Bitcoiners are rich. Some came out during the moment of peak market cap. And saying "I am rich" is not an argument. It is simply greed and being an asshole. Bitcoin has a mining algorithm that was never designed to advance science, so Bitcoin is garbage.

Bitcoin offers opportunities for everyone and rewards will only go to deserving people who know how to take advantage and seize the opportunity. People who are lazy, stupid and refuse to accept challenges should not expect worthy rewards. Bitcoin is very fair, creates opportunities for everyone and does not discriminate like many other investments.

You constantly mention science, so do you understand what science is? If it is trash like you say then why is Bitcoin included in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2022? In short, I find what you say more like trash because you have no evidence for what you say.

After knowledge, there comes investment made. It would be so wrong for someone to neglect to have the knowledge of crypto and move straight to invest in bitcoin no matter how ready or wealthy the person seems to be. There must be at least basic knowledge of crypto before the person talks about bitcoin investment.

To have a proper understanding of this ''knowledge comes first''. Let's put into consideration of our life dealings. Is it not when someone knows about something, that's when he would know the next step to take? The next step taken(knowledge) is applicable to what he will do towards bitcoin investment, which is having the knowledge first before the investment is made.

In nutshell, for someone to have a good investment in crypto, one should be knowledgeable about crypto first, so as not to fall into the hands of scammers or losing seed phrase  

Knowledge is the only path to success in every field, not just investing in bitcoin. But I think we only need to have basic knowledge, then to make everything more perfect we should combine knowledge and practice at the same time. I mean, we don't need to spend too much time learning everything until we understand it all before investing. If we do so, we can easily miss good investment opportunities.
For example, if currently we only focus on accumulating knowledge and not investing while this is the perfect time to buy bitcoin because the price is quite cheap. If you are too rigid and keep learning without investing, when the price increase season comes, you will miss your opportunity. If you have knowledge but don't know how to seize opportunities, it will be difficult to succeed.

We only need basic knowledge, and then invest in bitcoin and during that holding period, take advantage of it to understand more about bitcoin. Theory will only be effective when you apply it in parallel with practice.

According to my life experience, people who compare and are jealous of other people's success are usually useless and failures in society. I'm quite confident and sure, you are one of them.

If you were in the position to give financial advice to someone looking for a long term financial investment, what would you advice?...

If it were me, I wouldn't give any financial advice. I know that bitcoin has huge potential and can bring us huge profits if held for long term but I don't have any evidence to guarantee it for my friend. I don't know what will happen in the future. Furthermore, I don't know if he has the ability and the same interest as me to take risks to get greater rewards. I don't know if he will be okay with the short-term volatility of bitcoin or the negative bitcoin news he faces…There are so many things to consider before giving advice about investing in bitcoin.

Instead, I would say he shouldn't rush to put all that money in the bank, he should learn about bitcoin. I would tell him, in addition to better profit opportunities from bitcoin, bitcoin can also become its own bank, ensuring privacy...He can then choose what he thinks is good for him, I don't want to directly give financial advice to anyone, because I have nothing to guarantee them anything.

Bitcoin alone can't sustain the market. In order for the market to grow, there should be a demand that will be created, and without altcoins, the success in the long run might be slow.

Do you think Bitcoin will reach its all-time high without altcoins?

Now you are pumping the idea that shitcoins are needed.  Great.

King daddy does not need altcoins, but altcoins need king daddy.  How about we say it like that?  King daddy cannot get rid of altcoins.  Altcoins and a variety of attacks and affinity scams are going to continue to exist, so hopefully you are not getting too distracted into thinking that the mere fact that they are going to exist means that we need to speak nicely about them.  People do a lot of dumb things and people are scammed into shitty, inferior and sometimes completely worthless projects.  I doubt that we want regulations to completely save people from themselves, but surely frequently scammers are already engaging in fraudulent kinds of behaviors, and if they are not then there might be some value in just letting people learn for themselves if they are investing and/or buying inferior and/or worthless pump and dump crap.   

Of course, you are right that Bitcoin does not need altcoins, but what I would like to emphasize is that if we want to witness fast progress in the market, altcoins should be created as they can also create demand. It would result in a vice versa situation where both would benefit each other.

And for the record, I when I say altcoins, I am not referring to shitcoins, because even without shitcoins bull run would still happen, shitcoins are just riding the hype.

The question is, what demand do altcoins create that will help or have a positive impact on bitcoin? Other than being used for speculation, or frankly for gambling, I don't see any use cases from altcoins. Therefore, it cannot be said that Altcoins create demand that drives the market, they only push people who like to get rich quickly to rush into the market to gamble rather than invest.
If that's what you think, how can you explain, the top 10 altcoins in the market which some have even billions of dollars in trading volume.

If you think they are just for speculation, I don't think they're different from Bitcoin. To see the bigger picture, look at the dominance; Bitcoin currently has 48.8% dominance in the overall market, and the rest is just controlled by altcoins. Imagine if those altcoins were taken out; panic would surely happen, and I don't think Bitcoin would stay at the current price.

Also, when a huge exchange is hacked, how come it affects the value of Bitcoin? So that only states that the market does not revolve around Bitcoin alone; legitimate altcoins are also linked to Bitcoin in terms of market sentiment.

So, can you allow me to ask you something, where did the top 10 altcoins of 2013 go, and where did the topcoins of 2017 go? Such as XLM, LISK, EOS, BCH...and thousands of shitcoins that many people call potential and bring us new technology, where have they gone? I believe that the projects you call top altcoins will suffer the same fate as the projects I mentioned. They are just created to hype and scam people and then disappear without any real utility or application.

Bitcoin is also affected if some shitcoin disappears or an exchange goes bankrupt because not everyone is invested in bitcoin for the long term or for its potential. There are many speculators and gamblers that exist in the market and those people will often be the ones to dump their bitcoins whenever negative news spreads in the market. You cannot expect that all bitcoin investors are long-term investors, there will be one and the other.

I think bitcoin reached ATH due to the impact of halving, supply and demand in the market. Altcoins had no role in helping bitcoin reach its all-time high because the entire altcoin market was waiting for bitcoin to grow so they could increase in price.

It reached its ATH due to speculation, hype, and the like, because if it were organic, the price would not have dumped significantly after the bull run.
Just take the last bull run as an example: Bitcoin hit an ATH of $66k. Now, what is the current price?

I agree that bitcoin reaching ATH is not completely determined by supply and demand, but have you noticed that every bull season that passes, the new ATH is always higher than the old ATH? Isn't that enough to prove that the demand for bitcoin is growing higher every day?

Although Bayer Leverkusen has been leading this season, I can't say or believe that they will win the league. Everyone wants to see a team surpass Bayern Munich's records, which have stood for more than ten years, but it's very difficult to do. As you mentioned, Dortmund tried to do this in their final game of the previous season, but Munich ultimately came up and won the league. Even though Stuttgart is already in the top 2, their performances this season have really taken me by surprise, it will be difficult to predict for the time being whether Leverkusen will stay at the top to win the league. Leverkusen is currently leading Bayern Munich by just two points, and while I do not believe that Leverkusen will be able to win every game they play until the end of the season, I am still unsure that Bayern Munich will win the league at any point this season. They are not as weak as people may perceive them to be based on their performances.
It's still too early to predict who will win the Bundesliga title this season, but as usual I think Bayern Munich is the favorite team to defend its title every season. Leverkusen are a few points ahead of Bayern Munich at the moment, but I really struggle to expect them to be consistent and not drop points even for the first half of the season.
Bayern Munich certainly had competition at the start of this season in the league standings, but I don't doubt them any more than I doubt Leverkusen and Stuttgart. I believe Leverkusen will decline slowly, but they have hopes of leading the standings for the next few games.

In the Bundesliga almost every season we see several teams competing for the title at the beginning of the season. But in the end the teams cannot survive in the competition. Last season we saw Union Berlin at the top of the table for a long time. Besides, the Dortmund team also tried till the end of the season to win the title. However, at the end of the season, we saw the Bayern Munich team become champions.

Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Dortmund and Leipzig are doing very well this season. But I have considerable doubts about whether the parties will be able to maintain consistency. It is very difficult for these groups to maintain consistency. But I guess the Leverkusen team will fight hard for the title this year with Bayern Munich.

ShowOff, I will say that if they are able to perform well continuously till the 25th match, and if they are also able to stay in the first three positions consistently, they will probably give a good fight to Bayern Munich for the title. And it is still definitely very early to say what is going to happen at the end of the season. But I believe they will be able to finish in the top four easily. Unless something really bad happens. Something like they fall into a big problem of injuries or something like that. Otherwise, I see them performing consistently.
