The difficulty of making predictions for the match between Inter Milan vs AC Milan is due to their good performance at the start of this season. So I also imagine that the match between these two teams will be quite exciting to watch because considering that the positions of these two teams are also at the top now, so every attack that will be built in the match will be quite beautiful to see. Even more impatient to see how their match will be tomorrow.
Milan have never won their last 4 matches against Inter in several different competitions including the Supercoppa Italiana, Serie A and Champions League. Milan experienced 4 defeats in 4 consecutive matches against Inter and this is one of the benchmarks that will determine who will be the favorite.

Inter has a good chance to win this derby match against Milan, but Milan also has a chance to turn things around and stop that bad record. Of course it is difficult to predict how the result will be, but when the record of the last 4 matches is your reference, then I believe Inter is the favorite to win. I tend to hope Milan win that match, but a draw is a fair result I think.

I don't think Inter Milan will be the favorite in this match, personally I think betting on a draw is very possible or betting on goals over, because AC Milan and Inter Milan are in their best form and also their front line is on fire so it is possible to create lots of goals in this high-tension derby match.
45% of the 100% probability of winning that match is for Inter, while Milan only has 28%. The probability for a draw seems almost the same as a Milan win, the percentage is 27%. Based on that, we can conclude that Inter seems to be the favorite and bookmakers will also favor them over Milan.

We all know that both teams are both in good form in their last 3 matches, but for me Inter can be the favorite because of their record. But I also know that Milan looks like they can change their bad record after this season they were strengthened by Pulisic, Chukwueze, Yunus Musah, Loftus-Cheek and others. So far Loftus-Cheek and Pulisic have really had a good impact on Milan's performance, that's because of the statistics they have. Pulisic has scored 2 goals in 3 appearances, while Loftus-Cheek has scored 2 assists. Giroud is also in good form in the last 3 matches, scoring 4 goals and 1 assist. So the Milan derby must be very interesting for anyone in my opinion.

Barcelona was not very strong last season that was why they didn't consider other competitions just only laliga wad their target, if they had focused on champions league,  copa and other they would not have meet up to win laliga. Winning laliga wasn't even for Barcelona,  Barcelona struggled in some of their games in laliga.  Xavi took the right decision by focusing on laliga and the team didn't fail ro become the Champions for last season.
Your analysis may be wrong about Barcelona, ​​but there's no point arguing about it.
Xavi knows the quality of his team is not comparable to Bayern Munich and Inter in the Champions League last season, but Xavi still tried his best even though in the end he had to admit failure. Every competition is considered important without any intention to lose focus on any one of them, you know the reason? It was about money and the achievements of their respective clubs.

Xavi focused on La Liga, the Copa Del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup only after they failed in the Champions League. So I think your analysis of why Xavi and Barcelona failed in the Champions League, Europa League and Copa Del Rey doesn't seem completely accurate.

That is the point of football. If we assumed that City would beat West Ham and not play the game and just gave City, they would be the winners every season (and they are almost already are Cheesy lol) but we let the game happen so that in the off chance that Westham plays a good game, they may get 1 point or even maybe 3 points.

Betting is another thing though, we are talking about something that would be quite difficult to handle and should be considered a bit more difficult to handle. I believe that we need to end up with something that would change things a lot, and should be doing fine. I hope that it could get to a better point and we could have fun but so far it is smart to just bet on City and move on with it.
Betting on Manchester City winning might be an okay option when they visit West Ham. But considering West Ham's form is currently on the rise, I think this bet falls into a slightly higher risk. I assume that Manchester City can lose maximum points in this match, I mean the match has a possibility to end in a draw.

I myself still tend to believe that Manchester City can win full points at West Ham, this is clearly because of the quality of the players and Pep Guardiola's tactics. I hope so, but this is what will make this fight so interesting to look forward to.

Well said dude. Buying an iPhone is not really a necessity. You only want to have one just because you want to ride the trend and that’s it. It won’t make you profitable in the end.
It really depends on your financial condition. If you have good finances while an iPhone is a necessity that supports you, then you also need to buy it. Lastly, we cannot generalize that everyone is the same, even someone who buys an iPhone instead of investing in bitcoin also has the opportunity to make bigger profits because the iPhone is something that can support his business.

However, if you chose to invest in bitcoin instead, even at a particularly small amount, you might turn it into big profits if you sell your bitcoin at a very expensive price. It takes time but it’s definitely worth the wait. Than to spend your money on iPhone which is very unreasonable if you don’t have a well compensated job and then after a couple of months, your iPhone may depreciate its value and all your money just go into waste.
For most people, the iPhone may be considered a necessity, but for others, the iPhone is just a lifestyle. I agree that investing is recommended rather than wasting money, but when you need it to support your business, you can't keep forcing yourself to invest.

My only principle is, buy it if you need it rather than as a lifestyle. I'm more likely to buy an iPhone that costs $1500 if it can support my business that generates $2000 or more a month. So the conclusion is that it depends on each individual.

The bad news for Manchester City is their Croatian player Mateo Kovačić was injured when he returned from the fifa day games, Mateo Kovačić couldn't help his national team against Armenia and Latvia.
Left joined Manchester City in this transfer window for 30 million euros during this summer.
This palyer played in six games so far for Manchester City but the performance of Kovačić was not good enough and now getting injured can make everything harder for him.
  
Code:
[img width=370]https://i.postimg.cc/sDbWdQFk/u5rwlx3a.jpg[/img]
Mateo Kovacic has a better rating than his compatriot Josko Gvardiol at Manchester City. Even based on statistics, Kovacic is actually still better than Kyle Walker, Bernardo Silva and Ederson. Kovacic has played 4 games for Manchester City, and he has a rating of 6.93 so far as an average. So I don't agree that Kovacic hasn't had good form at Manchester City, but of course the injuries he suffered in the national team will worry Manchester City.

If by that period or season Barcelona has the right players to build around Haaland, he shouldn't hesitate to move to Barcelona. Just the way Ronaldo did years ago, Spanish League makes it very easy for a player to dream about winning the Ballon d'or awards.
If Pep Guardiola moves and the right manager is not brought in to back up what Pep has for they will lose good players.
Moving to Barcelona is same as Man City. Haaland will find the move exiting they are already preparing for the exit of Lewandoski.
Barcelona's financial condition does not yet allow it to target Haaland in the next few seasons, unless Xavi really makes a big profit from selling a number of his players to Arabia or to other teams. Barcelona under President Laporta tends to be very wise in making transfers, of course Laporta's approach is to uphold quality without spending a lot of money.

Barcelona will also have Vitor Roque in their squad next year, so the rumors still seem strange to me right now. Barcelona is very focused on improving performance and so far their young players are really progressing well. Regarding the Haaland rumours, it will never happen for Barcelona in my opinion.

Now that's not possible and they'll have to hold out until the winter transfer window reopens.
It looks like Ancelloti still wants to see how they do with a striker who isn't exactly pure. Actually there is already Joselu who if you look at his current position is Center Forward but until now his role in Madrid did not get that because Ancelloti still likes 2 strikers and 1 second striker for the formation that is done but if in the end they return to the original formation with 4-3-3 just like last season surely Joselu will be in the middle only even though he was very good last season at Espanyol but Espanyol and Madrid are very different so maybe this is a consideration for Ancelloti.
I think if in the end Madrid still hope for the same formation and Joselu ends up deadlocked then it is possible that for the winter transfer they will look for a younger and more energetic pure striker.
Real Madrid tends to be successful in overcoming problems with the 4-3-1-2 formation in the last few matches, in fact they have started using this formation since pre-season. Maybe it's because of Bellingham, so Ancelotti is just taking advantage of something special from him.

Ok ok, i agree with you. Jude Bellingham is a big midfield player; but you also need pure attackers, you can't solve the situation with a strong midfielder who scores goals.
It doesn't work that way, so you're just patching the problem, you're not solving the problem.
And Real Madrid need to solve the problem: found good attacker.
I agree with you. Real Madrid needs a pure striker as part of their plans this season. I think Joselu definitely helps, but Ancelotti doesn't seem to have much confidence in the 33 year old striker. So far Real Madrid have failed to get Mbappe, but they have to make a better effort if they still want to get him in the next transfer market.

Expecting Bellingham to score goals is not a big problem, but Ancelotti must use Bellingham as a striker rather than an attacking midfielder. Bellingham has had a good impact in a number of Real Madrid's wins so far, but Ancelotti needs to realize that Real Madrid's problem is actually a lack of strikers.
729  Economy / Speculation / Re: The future of Bitcoin: Bullish or Bearish on: September 12, 2023, 09:41:16 PM
If you expect my opinion about the next 1 to 2 years, then I think bullish is the best option to say. The reason is obviously due to the impact of the halving and its past history, but the same is always questioned. We are all too busy about the future which is completely unknown, but that is not a bad thing if you want to make preparations, for example start investing now and get the return there.

I dont put a short term speculation on Bitcoin simce we have a line up events that could triger the price to gonin an uptrend direction and at this moment i think Bitcoin should be taken to be at a discounted price and anyone looking to invest ahead of the 2024 event should take advantage of the price.
The short term isn't always bad, but it's good to plan for the long term. Long term investment seems to be the best option for an asset like bitcoin, I mean bitcoin still has the potential to continue growing year after year and will probably become the most desired means of payment if governments start adopting it.

The above image is the UX for a mobile baking app in my country.
I tried to check several of my banking applications or money transfer applications that are legally valid, it seems I didn't find a feature like "Betting" It seems like it is only displayed and made in certain countries such as Nigeria or other neighboring countries.
Obviously this is not possible in countries where gambling is not legal, so I confirm the accuracy of your information.
So far, Indonesia is not a country that legalizes gambling of any kind, although several big bookies have succeeded in building covert businesses. Bank Indonesia, whether government owned or private, will not support gambling due to regulations, but banks still have a role in processing the proceeds from gambling winnings.

In countries where gambling is legal, perhaps banks can develop their business products by supporting gambling. But I don't think gamblers need to gamble openly like that because so far crypto gambling should allow them to gamble anonymously. KYC is a different story, but crypto gambling is much better than fiat-based gambling, especially if it is controlled by the government.

I believe you are correct about the Real Madrid and Barcelona match, and I understand why you made that claim because many of Real Madrid's star players have been injured this year; however, I believe those players will have recovered by the time Real Madrid and Barcelona play. Real Madrid's players will return soon; nevertheless, I do not believe that Courtios and Militao will be able to play for Real Madrid this season. The other players, however, will be present before the league season is through.

Even though I am aware that the Barcelona team isn't having any problems this season and that they have young, talented players who are capable of defeating Real Madrid, I would still like to know that things can change during a match and that Barcelona can lose to Real Madrid occasionally. This is because many of Real Madrid's games against Barcelona are very difficult to predict because the two teams are so strong and refuse to give up on each other.
What is certain is that all El Clasico matches are interesting whatever the result. Barcelona and Real Madrid can win, draw or lose, but what is clear is that one of the two can be superior in each different season. Last season's competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid was very interesting, but this season the competition is no less interesting. Real Madrid lost its best striker, while Barcelona lost two senior players.

Currently, Real Madrid still leads the standings without a mistake, but Barcelona will still do its job and perhaps be able to top the standings if Real Madrid slips up. There are many matches that will determine the competition between the two teams to win the title this season, so it's not just about the EL Clasico.

That means if the deal is approved then Yamal will only be 23-24 years old. This means that it is the best time of football players. He grows better if in good handling.  Xavi played an important role in Yamal. If he keeps giving more and more minutes, maybe he will become a great player at a young age. He will be easy to grow up in undergoing squeeze as a football player. It is also possible that he will become an expensive player in the future.
It is likely that Lamine Yamal's market value will grow rapidly over time considering its performance. If Yamal is truly able to maintain consistent performance and work hard to improve the quality of his game, then it is not impossible that he will become a player with a value of 80 million euros at the age of 19 or 20 years.

Currently, Yamal is still not even 17 years old, but his appearance has attracted admiration from the world of football. Xavi was really successful in orbiting this player into the main squad until he made his international career debut with the Spanish national team. Yamal is quite a brave player at his age, I mean he can shoot with power and also good accuracy with his left foot.

It is true that West Ham has always been a tough nut to crack for Manchester city; but then they usually scale through by a goal; with impressive recruitment this summer; do you think West Ham can nick all 3 points off from Manchester  city if they keep haaland quiet? I think both teams to score is a considerate bet; with a draw too. What do you think ?
Both teams can likely be expected to score, but I'm not quite sure about a draw. So far, Manchester City is a team that is very difficult for their opponents to stop, which means they have managed to win 12 points in the last 4 matches. I believe Manchester City has a high probability of winning at West Ham's home ground, but there is still no 100% guarantee for that.



~Snip

The hammers with the help of Moyes and the newest signing into the club have taken him to the top for the first games. The most inspiring game was against Chelsea and they turned the oddss around to win the game. Winning three goals ahead.
They have achieved some points now it is time to points if they do not focus against City.
Having no KDB they have always struggled bit they will habe to do better with Pep also absent for that match due to surgery.
Manchester City should win to go top.
I know De Bruyne is a very important player in Pep Guardiola's squad, but Manchester City have managed to do a good job even since De Bruyne was absent. Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, Alvarez and Haaland were spectacular in the last match against Fulham, so I don't have many doubts about the possibility of a bad match against West Ham this weekend.

Maybe things won't be exactly the same as Guardiola had planned, but I don't see many problems facing Manchester City in that match. Manchester City's record against West Ham so far is good, meaning Manchester City is the favorite in that match to win.

West Ham vs Manchester City

West Ham have really been on an impressive rise at the start of this season. They were unbeaten in the first 4 matches where they only lost 2 points due to a draw against Bournemouth. David Moyes is responsible for the positive results obtained by West Ham in the last 4 matches, but this weekend he has to accept a tough challenge from defending champions Manchester City.

Manchester City has proven its quality as a team that is truly capable of maintaining consistent performance. They have not dropped a single point in the last 4 matches so people will be fully confident they can beat West Ham in their next away match. I hope the match will be difficult and not many goals will be scored throughout the match, but it all really depends on the team's overall performance.

Xavi seems to have succeeded in building his young squad better than Real Madrid. Lamine Yamal, Gavi, and Balde contributed to Spain, especially in international matches. This young player's performance is also good at club level so I really respect the way Barcelona builds their squad.

Not only that, Barcelona has succeeded in taking advantage of the transfer market this season by only paying very low costs. I can imagine Barcelona would probably be very strong in terms of squad depth if they had a transfer budget of 100 million euros this season. Barcelona and Real Madrid's rivalry this season is sure to be great, but I believe each of them will have problems to solve throughout the season.

Some people may have managed to deceive themselves by saying they have invested in bitcoin, but in fact they are only holding altcoins. I'm not sure what the benefits are, but one of the most dominant things in mind is that attracting the sympathy of others who support bitcoin gives them merit. I don't think that's a good thing to imitate considering that merit won't be that hard to get, I mean only if they have quality posts.

Rather than deceiving themselves, then I think it would be good for them to speak frankly and share healthy arguments about what they are interested in. Just because of the rise of signature campaigns that pay for bitcoin, you don't have to lie that you only support bitcoin while all altcoins are shitcoins.

It's still early in the season and there's still a lot of time for the teams to improve, Barcelona currently looks weak in terms of defense but Real Madrid also has problems in the front line, in the last few matches Real Madrid has had quite a hard time scoring goals.
So I think these two top La Liga teams have different problems now, but how these teams can handle them and get out of these problems will be profitable for them to be able to chase the title this season.
Barcelona was really worried in the match against Villareal where currently the quality of Barcelona's defense is having problems. Barcelona conceded 3 goals in that match, which also indicates that there are problems that need to be fixed in defense. Meanwhile, in the next match, Barcelona only conceded 1 goal against Osasuna and in that match Barcelona's defense looked quite good.

Barcelona has a good right-back at the moment, which is definitely useful considering that so far Barcelona doesn't have a good right-back. Cancelo and Balde will likely be the main choices in most matches, while Araujo (currently still injured) and Kounde will play as central defenders. This could solve Barcelona's defensive problems, but Barcelona must do it carefully.

Nope, I don't want to stabilize Bitcoin price, so count me out.
Even if someone expects you to do it, then I am 100% sure you won't be able to do it.

If Bitcoin price is stable, Bitcoin no longer decentralized anymore because someone is controlling Bitcoin price to burn the coin or add the supply. Since Bitcoin has maximum supply and there's no way to reduce the circulation intentionally, Bitcoin price will never be stable.
The price of bitcoin will never be stable due to its supply and demand. Someone could lose their bitcoins permanently if they lost access to their storage wallet, which would increase the total number of bitcoin that are frozen without being able to be moved. So far it is absolutely impossible for anyone to control Bitcoin, including the government, but they have succeeded in controlling most of its users through regulation.

Bitcoin's volatility could be lower if Bitcoin is mass adopted as a currency, while currently regulations in various countries still prohibit it. We never know about the future, but I believe bitcoin will never be stable even if every country adopts it.

I recently created a post asking if I should buy bitcoin now or wait for the dip, and majority of the response I got from the post, advised that I should buy now rather than waiting for the dip due to its volatile nature, and I'm satisfied with this response and I'm willing to bear the risk.
Reason for all these questioning, I have a dream of becoming a long term bitcoin holder but, dreams aren't achieved with words alone, an action is needed for the start up, so I have decided to sell one of my less used phone for the purpose of buying bitcoin.
I'm really eager to purchase my first bitcoin in satoshi.
That sounds good because basically a phone you don't use isn't helping you at all and it might work to your advantage if you use the proceeds to invest. It's a great idea to consider, but you don't have to wait too long for the bitcoins to drop, just buy it now and store it safely like you've kept that phone all along.

I'm not sure what budget you will get from selling that used phone, but it will be good and worth it if you really invest it. Remember that you have considered the risk of price volatility, but you should never ignore other risks including not storing your bitcoin on centralized exchanges for the long term. Get a wallet that fully gives you custody, it's much safer than trusting your money to other parties.
