Pratim hrvatsku reprezentaciju od samog početka, 1990 i ovo je moje razmišljanje.
Osim na sP 2002 i EP 2004 kada smo imali veliku smjenu generacije, a stari igrači su bili prošli svoj ''zenit'' na svim ostalim natjecanjima imali smo odlične igrače, ali osim na SP 1998 nikada nismo uspeli napraviti ono što smo objektivno mogli i trebali.
Uvijek nam je nešto ''falilo''.
Na EP 1996 bili smo još neiskusni i novi.
Na SP 2006 nismo bili prava momčad a ni selektor Kranjčar se nije baš bio iskazao i pripremio momčad na pravi način.
Na EP 2008 smo konačno ponovno prošli skupinu i izgledali kao prava momčad, konačno spremni za velike stvari ali smo protiv turaka ispali zbog vlastite naivnosti i neiskustva.
Nakon što je Klasnić u 119. minuti konačno zabio goal, u idućem napadu smo krenuli naprijed umjesto da čuvamo loptu i vratimo je golmanu.
Rakitić je bacio loptu u napad, svirano je zaleđe a u slijedećem napadu turci su zabili goal, izjednačili i poslije nas, još u šoku, izbacili na penale.
Ni neiskusni i emotivni Bilić se tu nije baš najbolje snašao, trebao je odmah tražiti zamjenu igrača i ukrasti koju minutu i prekinuti napad turaka.
U ciklusu kvalifikacija za SP 2010 jednostavno nismo imali sreće.
''Napaljeni'' englezi su nam se htjeli osvetiti za izbacivanje sa EP-a 2008, protiv nas su igrali 200 % a zadnju utakmicu protiv ukrajinaca su ''tankirali'' i izgubili.
Još smo mi u 2 utakmice protiv ukrajinaca imali 4 stative, ako se dobro sjećam.
Na EP 2012 smo imali najtežu grupu u povijesti, kasnija 2 finalista, Italiju i Španjolsku.
I tu smo imali veliku šansu da prođemo, Rakitić je protiv španjolaca promašio veliki zicer, koji bi nam donio pobjedu a kasnije pobjednike španjolce izbacio iz natjecanja.
Na SP 2014 Kovač se još učio i nije imao dovoljno iskustva ali se mora priznati da su Brazil, a i Meksiko zaista bili jako teški suparnici.
A što reći za EP 2016?
Nesretno smo ispali od kasnijih pobjednika portugalaca ali se mora priznati da su nas portugalci ''dobro pročitali'' i nisu nam dali da igramo svoju igru a Čačić nije imao odgovor na tu taktiku portugalaca.
Da smo na našoj strani imali iskusnog stratega, kao što su ga portugalci imali u Santosu, možda bi mi otišli do kraja, no zna se tko je i zašto bio doveo Čačića.
Ukratko, osim na SP 1998 uvijek smo podbacili zbog kombinacije loših i neiskusnih izbornika, kao i činjenice da smo imali kvalitetne igrače ali nismo imali momčad, te bi pali na psihološkom i taktičkom planu.
Čini mi se da ovaj put konačno nakon 20 godina imamo sve.
I pravog izbornika, koji zna postaviti pravu taktiku i podići ekipu, imamo i vanserijske igrače a konačno imamo i momčad.
Ćiro je jednom dobro rekao.
U Francuskoj 1998. smo bili treći jer sam igračima rekao da su najbolji i da će biti prvaci svijeta.
Da im to nisam govorio, i da nisu vjerovali u to, ne bi nikada bili treći na svijetu.
To je jedino što sada zamjeram Daliću.
Nemamo se mi što bojati ni Brazila, ni Njemačke, ni Portugala i Španjolske.
Pa svi se oni muče na ovom prvenstvu, njemci izgubili, španjolci i portugalci jedva pobjeđuju, Brazil se isto muči...
Treba jasno reći da smo najbolji i da idemo po titulu!
Nedostaje nam te sportske drskosti i arogancije, uvijek sumnjamo u sebe i u svoje kvalitete, i bojimo se drugih.
Nikakva poniznost, treba reći da nam je cilj otići do kraja i gotovo.
Velike reprezentacije su velike jer na svako natjecanje dolaze sa ciljem da ga osvoje, i ne zadovoljavaju se s tim da kažu da su tu da prođu skupinu a onda što bude, da trebaju biti ponizni i nadati se najboljemu...
Kad ste ikada čuli takvu izjavu od jednog selektora Brazila, Njemačke, Španjolske...?
Zbog takvih ''koncepata male vrijednosti'' mali obično uvijek ostanu mali, čak i kada imaju priliku postati veliki i napasti titulu.

I don't think that anybody can answer 100 % correct this question now.
To many factors influence btc price now, including bad media news and reports, rumors etc.
We really can't predict when such news will occur and how much will influence btc price.
In crypto market we have to many young and inexperienced users.
Many of them selling btc in panic when price drop.
So, btc price can still go down but we don't know how much.

I believe because of a few reasons.
First, they have more funds to invest.
Second, more info available and better education.
Also, better Internet, no electricity problem, no conflicts or social tension in society etc.
People in developed countries also have ''culture'' or habit to search for new, promising opportunities to invest.
 

There is no such words like ''always'' or ''forever'' on Internet.
Many giants like hotmail, or nokia believed the same but other projects came, and replaced old ones, like gmail or iphone. because they could offer better service to the clients.
So, in the short term, 5-10 years, I also believe that bitcoin will remain number 1 but if something else comes, with better quality or service for clients, it will replace bitcoin.

No, in fact I chose that time to sell some of my btc funds and to invest in other crypto currencies.
Now, it seems that I could be smarter and move some funds to fiat but now is to late to change it.
In fact, right now the best decision is to ''hold'' or even buy more bitcoin.

You have to decide for yourself.
If you see bitcoin as get to rich scheme or way to get rich overnight, than better to give up and sell your bitcoin.
If you see bitcoin as long term investment and don't mind to wait a few years for concrete profit, than just buy more.
If you check bitcoin history, you will see that the same scenario happened before, a few times but bitcoin price always recovered.

Tko je slijedeći?

Dobio si merit

I know that some people worry so much about price drop that they are checking prices every a few minutes and can't sleep because they are to worried.
It's not healthy really.
I advice them to relax, switch off computer and just go out, forget about crypto for a few weeks or more .
Any way, it's nothing they can do about it, so no point to loose nerves and health here.
Golden rule for any investor (not only in crypto market): ''Don't invest money you can't afford to loose''.

People who are here long time, at least 4-5 years, already have experience that price drop a lot and recovered eventually.
So, I think that btc users with such experience don't worry so much now.
They know that trend will change eventually.
I think that mostly young and inexperienced people are scared about current price drop.

Very interesting question.
In fact, I tried to start online business which will accept bitcoin for payment.
We hoped that it will help us to attract more customers.
Unfortunately, we had to give up from business because of luck of funds and some other issues.

It's simple really.
If you shared info about your crypto funds, including login info and how to withdraw funds, with your life partner, children, relatives than they will simple continue to use it.
If you didn't share your info with others than your crypto funds will be lost.
It happened already, as I heard.

People just don't care enough to do their own research and understand subject.
It's much more easy to hear a few news or read a few articles and get own, wrong and simple idea about something new, unknown and revolutionary.
They don't understand crypto and see it as some kind of ponzi scheme, not like real market where price depends on supply and demand.
Such people I don't listen because they are losers and never make any success in life.
Why?
Because they are not willing to make any effort and they are scared to try anything new.

When I talk with my friends, there are a few factors, really.
Some of them read some negative media news about bitcoin.
Other heard that many criminals using bitcoin for their criminal activities.
Also, recently central bank in my country warned people that crypto is rto risky investment.

You can always count on human emotions and stupidity, in any area of human life, including market or business.
It's proven so many times.
Usually we are making decisions based on emotional not logic or facts.
So, any bad news have potential to crash the market even if company or stocks have good potential and no real problems.
Only people capable to control their emotions make real success in business and life.

Very well said.
Many people here are very young and inexperienced in the market.
They don't understand how market works.
So, it's literally impossible that price can go up all the time, forever
I expected some bigger correction in btc price even before.
Still, btc price is very high and we have no reasons to worry to much.
Soon r later market will recover, based on the supply and demand, as always.

I think that in any market in the world, doesn't matter how big or small, stock market, Forex or crypto market, some ''big'' players always manipulate market.
It's natural, they ate making money and profits in such ways.
Small, young and inexperienced investors dn't understand such ''games'', easily become scared and start to sell in panic when price starts to go down.
Of course, big players waiting for such moments to buy many cheap shares and to make big profit later.
It's ''very old'' game.

Any market is risk, not only crypto market.
So, when you invest money in the market, you should follow golden rule for investors: ''Never invest money you can't afford to loose''.
So, please be wise and don't expect to much in to short time.
I see crypto as long term investment and I'm ready to wait 5-10 years until I make some serious profit.

Bitcoin started in 2009, only 8-9 years ago.
So, we can't say that bitcoin is ''old'' and reached limit in development.
In my opinion, we need just to pass this critical period when many people doubt bitcoin and crypto, and influence small businesses and media to accept bitcoin as something new and revolutionary, what can change way of life and business.
I'm optimistic and think that bitcoin will continue to grow and reach new, higher levels

Right now, I feel a lot depression and bad feelings about bitcoin in the market.
It seems that people loosing patience and giving up from bitcoin.
I don't think it's good idea to sell bitcoin now, at such low price.
When you check btc history, you can see that bitcoin already was a few times in the same situation and recovered every time.
So, I think that the same scenario will happen again.
