So short positions pay long positions in this scenario.
Funding fee is deducted only every 8 hours or 1 hour (I remember an exchange that would charge hourly, but it was a few years back). Any position opened and closed between the funding rate hours won't be charged the funding fee.
By this, you can close your position with a draw and enjoy funding fee if you are in a side of short will be pay by long and long will be paid by short in that 8-hours. It's not too much but if you can, you should close your position because after each 8 hours, market can have big movement, up or down maybe we don't certainly know. So it is safe to close our position before it moves and it's also good if we can earn small from funding fee. |

Currently, cryptocurrency is a big player in the global financial system since it is used either directly or indirectly in many parts of the world.
Total market cap of cryptocurrency market is still very small compares to market cap of NYSE or NASDAQ. Comparison of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq from January 2018 to July 2023, by market capitalization of listed companiesIn July 2023 - NYSE $24.97 T - NASDAQ $22.21 T. Cryptocurrency market cap is $1.04 T and it is actually smaller because of many scam altcoins. To challenge the progress of the crypto industry many central banks have introduced CBDCs.
CBDCs are created for many purposes, not only to challenge cryptocurrency industry. Most important CBDCs help governments to observe and tax their citizens better. These CBDCs have similar qualities to altcoins due to their centralized nature, but none can be decentralized like Bitcoin.
They are centralized like altcoins but worse as totally in hands and controls of governments. They can freeze your CBDCs anytime even in your accounts. |

I guess nobody could ever expect to see Al Fateh winning the game against Al Ahli in the game today after all the money Al Ahli spent this summer and the players they bought, however, it's too soon to judge Al Ahli and the players they bought because we know these players need some time. but personally, I could never predict this result.  Even without those new star players from Europe, Al Ahli were already stronger than Al Fateh so with those star players, they surprisingly got this very big defeat. It's unbelievable and Al Ahli let Al Fateh scored goals very easily. After scoring a leading goal, Al Ahli quickly let Al Fateh to have an equalizer in the first half. After that, their nightmare began in the second half as they got some more conceded goals and ended the match with a shock defeat. The match is exciting as many opportunities were created by both clubs and even Al Ahli had some chances to score more goals too. |

True, since Bitcoin become a speculative asset, store of value, it will create a lot of hype specially around the bull run. We just don't know what will be the hype next, in 2024-2025 wherein we expect that the price will hit at least 6 digits. I think it will be more likely driven by the Bitcoin ETF approval and so more money will flow again. But after that, go back to normal again.
Bitcoin Spot ETF approvals, first one and more later in the USA. are most expected forces for Bitcoin bull run in 2024 and 2025. I have a similar thinking like yours and I think we already saw some signals that SEC are under bigger pressure from the USA. Congress to do their regulation more transparently and must be based on active laws. They must stop their arbitrary regulations like the last few years and BlackRock is expected to be a first entity will get a first approved Bitcoin Spot ETF in the nation. They have only 1 failed application in total 600 ETF applications they made. In any case though, we have LN for smaller and faster transactions. But for the majority, what we wanted to see is that it be accepted universally, regardless if the mempool is clogged or not.
If people invest in Bitcoin, mempools won't be clogged. Because true investors don't often make on chain transactions, they buy and hold. Traders and fans of meme tokens like BRC20, make the mempools clogged. |

There is still the possibility for Salah to leave Liverpool and join the Saudi League because the Saudi team, Al Ittihad is still trying to put Salah under pressure to make him leave but yesterday Liverpool coach Klopp said I have nothing to say about this news related to Salah because the situation is not changed yet and they are not going to lose this player, however, we know Al Ittihad is not going to give up.  If Al Ittihad can get Salah, it is a big successful transfer for them because Salah is different than Ronaldo, Benzema and Neymar. He is still at best of his career and getting a player like this is a great success for not only Al Ittihad but also Saudi Professional League. If Liverpool lose Salah in coming days, they will complain more about different windows for transfer markets in Europe and Saudi Arabia. They will more seriously complain and ask for changes in transfer market windows. They will make their voice and ask for an universal transfer market window time for all nations globally. It is so painful to lose best players when a season already starts and transfer market in Europe is closed. Will it be possible for FIFA to do this at global scale? |

We know this summer there were many players who joined the Saudi League to earn more money after Ronaldo joined this league but some players and coaches think some players especially some younger players could continue their careers in the top European teams instead of the Saudi teams. Toni Kroos said players like Gabri Veiga at this age should not join that league and he said he doesn't want to join that league personally because of human rights violations there which is good if he doesn't change his mind.  . What he said is true, Saudi Professional League won't go far by using money like this. They must focus on building up their stadiums, youth academies to grow up local young players who will be future of the league and their national team. Buying many star players from Europe especially old players, will waste lot of money resource for youth academies and they must think differently. With young players, they can contribute for the league like 10 years or more but with those old players from Europe, they can only use those old players from 2 to 4 seasons. It won't help to increase quality of local players as well as the league quality in long term. |

Roma lost again with a score of 1-2 against Milan and this is a very bad result for Jose Mourinho's squad because they can't give a win in front of their fans. Milan did very well even with 10 men in the second half and they didn't panic at all when they were in quite a bit of pressure. Milan's advantage from the early minutes made them sure to win this match, but unfortunately Roma only managed to score 1 goal in the final minutes which meant nothing.
It is a very bad result that is a continuation of their two previous bad matches. After three matches, they have only one point in Serie A and it's not a good start for their target to be in top four of Serie A. Losing at home and let AC Milan led 2 goals before scoring a very late goal at 92th minute, it's a bad match at their home stadium. The defense ability of AS Roma in this season is not good and they must focus on improving it first. Without a good defense, they will have bad results because their attacking system is not too strong and won't be able to cover conceded goals from weak defense. It is predictable before because Roma still unable to bounce back from their poor results in Serie A so Milan has good chances to collect 3 points from this match and i have to says Milan was playing much better than Roma that they were really dominate the match and playing more effective
Playing at home and let Milan to score a first goal very soon, Roma could not bounce back to get a point. Giroud scored for Milan and still proved his ability when many people think he is too old to play for Milan. His value again reflects through his goal and he does not need to take a spot light in any match. He smell chances, give him passes and he scores, that's how Giroud plays. |

This seems too personal, like others who, let's say, came from gambling addiction and quit, but still their lives were ruined, like their relationships with their family. Though I would give an overall opinion like what I am doing right now, it really stays where I am but imagining the expenses that you'll be getting into if you are addicted to gambling, and for sure your family is already ruined because you don't have time for it, I would say yes, it is better if we are looking at positive aspects.
Gambling addiction is bad because it is not only related with their mentality but also their finance conditions. That all are related with other members in their family so if they are out of control, use all and lose all for gambling, their family life will be at risk. Gambling responsible is their responsibility. Not all people who gamble are gambling addictive so it is personal responsibility to control actions. It is personal trait too and if a person is gambling addictive, he will be gaming addictive, cryptocurrency additive if he joins those areas. It is not because of gambling, gaming or cryptocurrency, it is their personal bad trait that they must change to control themselves better. |

This news development is certainly negative development for US economy and consequently affecting the Dollar index. However, it is interesting to note that it didn't make any good impact on Bitcoin price either. I could be mistaken, but from my perspective, substantial upwards move in Bitcoin price might not occur until regulatory concerns with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are adequately addressed and positive news regarding approval of ETFs emerges from major players like BlackRock.
BlackRock has very good rate of success for their ETF submissions. The failure rate is 1/600 that is very low and the market looks at BlackRock with hope that if BlackRock did not see good opportunity to get approval from SEC for a first Bitcoin Spot ETF in the USA., they will not send their submission to SEC. They already sent it to SEC. and will go more seriously with it before getting an approval. The market also hope that if BlackRock succeed, they will open a new era for Bitcoin and investors in the USA. from traditional markets, will more easily get access to Bitcoin. Bigger capital will flow in Bitcoin and in any market, when new capital flows in, price would soar a lot. |

What I can say about this is stop panicking whenever the price of bitcoins decreases so much in the time before bull runs because that's the traditional way before the bull runs start and you won't get any chance to buy again because, after that, the price will continue to rise until it reaches a new ATH. Whatever happens, just focus on your goal to achieve and ripe as much income as this upcoming bull run just be patient and persevere on everything.
You will be able to control your emotion better if you invest with your money, only with your money. If you borrow money and have pressure from interest payment, collateral liquidation, margin call which are all big risks, you will lose control on your emotion. I am sure many people will feel panic when facing with such risks. Lastly, feel fearful, panic or not, the market will move in its way and your loan collateral can be liquidated by exchanges. Even you don't want to sell, your coins will be sold by exchange and you can not do anything. The best way to avoid liquidation is using your own money to invest, don't use leverages because you believe you will win and will get rich with your accurate thinking and greedy position. |

In fact, it would be a bit embarrassing when Romelu Lukaku's current situation seems like he has become a traitor to Inter Milan, who has developed his talent and is now joining a rival club that will compete seriously in the Italian league this season.
It is bad behavior from Lukaku when Inter Milan wanted to give him chance in the last season and tried to negotiate with Chelsea again in this summer. His career is in trouble and he did not respect Inter after all. He tried to knock doors of Juventus at the same time and when Inter Milan knew about that shady secret, it's the end for Lukaku with Inter Milan. In fact, it doesn't matter if it's just ridiculed by Inter Milan fans. I'm sure Lukaku will ignore things like that because Romelu Lukaku's initial goal in joining AS Roma on loan was to help improve the quality of AS Roma performance which is currently in a bad condition.
I am sure that Lukaku talent can make a good contribution to Roma and this club really needs talented players right now because we are very sad to see Roma poor start to the season and hopefully Roma will be better after the arrival of Romelu Lukaku.
He is a strong man and can support Roma a lot and Roma attacking system will have a deeper resource than the last season. In last days of summer transfer market, they have Azmoun and Lukaku who will play together with Dybala and Belotti as their four main attacking players. Again the reputation of Mourinho helps Roma to get some star players in this summer and they now have better squad than the last season. They will be more ready to compete for top four and try to go to Europa League final match again. With this promising squad, I wonder will Mourinho sign a new contract with Roma if he wins titles with Roma in this season? |

The draw will be today, so soon we will know all the opponents in all groups. It's funny to see Newcastle in the fourth pot, apparently the group where Newcastle gets will be one of the most difficult. Actually, it's not worth guessing now, we just need to wait until the evening and we will know what the Champions League groups will be like this year. By the way, Sevilla is just as strange to see the first group, especially considering how they started their season in La Liga.
Newcatsle United got an amazing past season which brings them to Champions League this season, but it is their first appearance there after many years. By that, Newcastle United are stepping similarly like Manchester City years ago. By starting in Pot 4, they will face with risk of falling in very tough group and meet very strong opponents from other leagues. It takes Manchester City a few seasons to improve their perform in Champions League before more stably appear in knock-out phase. Sevilla will likely to drop from Champions League to Europa League again as with their super poor performances in La Liga, I have no belief that they will be able to complete group stage well to go to a first knock out phase. if we talk about Barcelona chances in the UCL it will be difficult after the financial woes from last season which caused Barcelona to find it difficult to bring in quality players or talented players. Im not saying that Barcelona does not have top players, but its impossible if Barcelona only relies on Lewandowski while the defense also needs high quality players.
They are on their ways to improve, first improving in La Liga two seasons ago, won it in the past season. We can expect them to repeat such improvement in Champions League. They were deranked to Europa League last season so let's hope they will not be deranked after the group stage and even can go a bit far in knock out phases. |

 The USD received a blow across the market board yesterday, and many might be wondering why Bitcoin rose sharply as well, it's simply due to the CB Consumer Confidence released in the US. You will always see them logical if you look at those events and reports. If you don't look at them, you will see Bitcoin price moves logically too. Difference between look at those events, reports, figures or don't look at them, is your psychology is more chaotic, unstable for a former and is more stable, calm with the latter. Because economic growths, policies and regulations need time to be reflected in societies, economy but with such news, price reacts instantly. While we know that some times what we expect from a new policy today can be very different or opposite in future, after a few months. |

I understand that Mbappé is a big star. And anything he does. He's definitely going to be starting some speculation about him, especially when he is not certain about his future. I also understand that the media is also going to try to take advantage of that, and make news out of almost nothing.
But what I am trying to say is, is there actually any reason to make anything out of the emoji that he put on his post? I definitely do not think so. He is definitely a big star but the media is just trying to print news out of thin Air. And right now I am actually angry about this because most of the News does not have any base. I mean why are they talking about him going to another club? Just because him giving some emojis on his post?
Mbappe wants to create a vagueness about his future that gives social media great opportunity to write many things about him. They take advantage of Mbappe's vague future to get traffics for their newspapers, sites and it's free chance from Mbappe. People still react amusingly with those news and social media companies will continue their jobs when they see it's good for their companies. If people ignore those news, nothing similar will be seeded again on media. With curiosity of human, they won't stop to hunt for such news and many drama about Mbappe or other star players will appear in future just like how it occurred in the past and with Mbappe currently. |

After Vinicius Junior got injured there is not some empty slot in the squad for other players and Ancelotti should make some chances for the next games that's why the biggest winner of this situation is obviously Brahim Díaz because he can get back to the position he likes to play and he can be the left winger in the new systems after the changes by Ancelotti when he uses the classic 4-3-3 plan.  Vinicius Jr. is a great asset of Real Madrid and he will be one of biggest star players in La Liga too. He must be protected more by referees in the league. They must use yellow cards or red cards if fouls of defenders against Vinicius is dangerous enough. Many young players got serious injuries that destroy their career. Brahim is like Asensio who struggles to get a good position in Real Madrid. It he won't claim a good position soon, he will be like Asensio, only a substitution for Real Madrid. Hopefully he will take this chance, from the unlucky injury of Vinicius, to make big change for his own career. |

PSG need to be patient and wait more good performances from Kolo Muani. I watch the French player in World Cup 2022 and anyone forgot that he missed a great chance in the final to score a winning goal for France in very last minutes. He still needs to finish opportunities better and must improve his mentality to cope with such tough moment. Muani is now pushing its club to let him go and accept 80 millions offer from PSG. Muani is not feeling happy with frankfurt's greedy behavior which is making the situation even more complicated for him. We can only way what decision is gonna be taken by frankfurt regarding his future.
I will prefer to see him go to the PSG instead of staying in frankfurt even longer. He can play in UCL together with mbappe this season, which is good.
When a current contract comes to its expiration, a player nowadays will try to create pressure on his club to get a better salary offer for a new contract or send an official request to be listed on transfer market. With many rich clubs in Europe recent years and a sudden rise of Saudi Professional League, star players are no longer patiently wait and waste their time to bargain with their current clubs. If no good offers to satisfy a player demand, he will leave. Kolo Muani does not deserve a transfer fee like $80M that is ridiculous. |

I agree with you. Rudi garcia has just started working with napoli. So it is not so quick to judge whether he is a good coach or not . Napoli have performed in just two matches in serie a. And in both matches, their opponents were relatively weak. And so it is not difficult for napoli to win. Luciano spalletti was an excellent coach. With the help of spalletti, napoli's performances were stable from the beginning to the end of the season. However napoli still have a strong squad. If garcia's match tactics are good then napoli still have the potential to produce consistent performances.
Rudi Garcia is a good coach and he has enough experience with Serie A. He took over the Napoli coach position from Spaletti with a winning team. It is different than when he was a coach of AS Roma and he is ambitious to win a first big title in his career. Scudetto is a title he surely wants to win with Napoli as it will be a good achievement for his coach career after many years. He will surely want to be recognized similarly to Ranieri and Spaletti after many clubs they work with and many bitter experience. So far Rudi Garcia and Napoli are on a good track to defend their Scudetto in this season. I look forward to seeing how napoli perform against the big teams. But I also think that napoli will not be able to maintain the dominance like last season.
They lost Kim Min-jae and without the Korean central defender, it's unknown how their defense system will performance against big teams in Serie A. The defender is so important for Napoli success in the last season. |

Will sevilla kick mendilibar out of the club soon? Sevilla is not even earning a single point from a few matches that already passed. This is a horrible situation for sevilla at this moment. The club cant always losing its point.
The performance from sevilla is dropping so hard compared with the last season once the club was winning the europa league trophy. Sevilla needs to get out from this terrible situation as soon as possible.
Sevilla still has time and Mendilibar still has time too as the season is long enough for them to improve. Mendilibar helped Sevilla to exit La Liga relegation zone in second half of last season and more impressively won Europa League with Sevilla. He will be treated with respect by Sevilla but results of the club need to be improved in coming matches. Mendilibar's position is also in a critical situation, as he can be kicked by the club anytime. Losing more points will be unacceptable for sevilla.
Mendilibar needs to do something to save its club or sevilla will earn zero points. It seems like that the debt had a correlation to the performance from sevilla.
The more talented players sold by the club were greatly affecting the performance from sevilla.
His position is not safe but not at a verge of being sacked. He still has chances to do something to protect his job but a next match will be with Atletico Madrid and it won't be an easy opponent. Atletico Madrid just got a big win against Rayo Vallecano and they currently have a best attacking ability in La Liga. Losing against Atletico Madrid will make a crisis in Sevilla more serious and Mendilibar will face with bigger risk of sack. |
