Juventus is far better than udinese and the club deserves to win against udinese and take three points from its opponent. I saw that how dominant juventus against udinese. The club deserves it and i was picking the right choice for that.
Im very happy juventus is now going back to the right track again. Juventus may not be dominating the match but it has so many proper finishing. It makes juventus looks very strong right now.
Juventus only have to focus on Serie A in this season as they waived up chance to play in UEFA Conference League before UEFA punished them and prohibited them to join any UEFA league in this season. It is kind of unofficial punishment on Juventus because of their participation in Super League project.

Udinese is a tough opponent but with such concentration and high ambition from Juventus, they failed to get a point from this match. Juventus with three points actually have a good debut for this season in Serie A and they are on top of Serie A after the first match day.

Quote
I think juventus gonna take scudetto again this season. It seems easy for juventus after the club has no burden anymore.
It's very possible for them as they have a strong squad and as said, they have no other big targets than Serie A to fight in this season.

What if the reverse of your opinion becomes the reality and it happens that they agree to use bitcoin as a reserve for savings and they make loan inclusive. Would it not be good for all parties involved?  We know IMF and world bank has a strong affiliation with the US government and through them and member states are financed
They will not do this if Bitcoin price has yet been very stable but you know when Bitcoin price is very stable, it will be less attractive as an investment asset. Invest into an asset which is stable makes no sense and investors will look for better options.

Like recent years they found that Bitcoin is outperforming gold and are more favorite to invest in Bitcoin than in gold.
ROI chart

They will not put their national reserves in big risky condition by adding Bitcoin into their reserves and accept it as loan collateral is more risky.

As newbies, no need to smell fraud in projects which are altcoins, shitcoins. Because if you only invest in Bitcoin, it's safe and you don't have to smell fraud in any project.

You only have such needs if you are greedy and want to invest in altcoins, shitcoins, chase for very high promising profit. If your intention is like this, you will fall into fraudulent projects sooner or later as you can not smell fraud projects correctly all the times.

In general, don't invest in altcoins and shitcoins, you will be safe.

Lisandro Martinez was your best defending player last season, a little error and you compare him with Harry Maguire? It's a very wrong way to see him honestly. Mistakes are meant to be made but man's sure that Lisandro Martinez will be ready and positive during the next fixture. There's nothing more to say and express, Tottenham Hotspur really did better that Manchester United.
Martinez is a good defender and he can play at the defensive midfielder position too. He is clearly better than Harry Maguire in defense and passing but he is not a perfect player and can make defensive mistakes. To avoid conceded goals, you will need to have a good defensive system, not only one or two good defensive players. So far Manchester United have yet successfully built up such good defensive system.

Quote
Manchester United needs to work on the midfielder's, it hurt to see they lost but then it was same thing that happened last season, losing the first two Premier League games. Let's just be optimistic they come back stronger. But then, Marcus Rashford, Antonio Martial can't be reliable as a Central Attacker. Me eyes itched me seeing all that shit.
It's true. Their midfielders fail to block counter attacks from Tottenham early and put their defenders and goalkeeper under very dangerous attacks from Tottenham. If Tottenham had finished their counter attacks better, they would have scored more than two goals.

Of course everyone knows Manchester City are the most outstanding team in Manchester currently since the introduction of Pep Guardiola and Manchester United on the other hand are still battling to go back to glory days  since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson
The appearance of Pep Guardiola is key for their success last six years. With previous coaches, they won Premier League too but they did not dominate the league and created massive fear like with Pep Guardiola. Because with very high ball possession which is favorite by Pep, Manchester City make a feeling like their opponents almost have no chance for counter attack, score goals and beat them. It's big difference than other coaches and previous years.

Osimhen 2 goal performance in the opening match demonstrates Napoli resilience in keeping up with strong Serie A competition even with a new coach. I think the Osimhen continued development places him in a prominent position as a striker with abilities on par with Haaland in the Premier League.
The summer transfer is still going and Napoli will have to keep their best striker with pressure and interest of many big clubs in Europe. Defending the Scudetto title is very difficult but at least they will have better chance if they can keep Osimhen. If they lose him, they will face with harder challenge from other clubs and will more likely lose the title to other competitors.

None of EPL team is willing to buy him caused by he is not for sale. City had a bunch of strikers and why does manchester city need to recruit a new striker that is already guarded by big wall by its club?
Look at how napoli demands 500m for the club that is wanna get him from napoli. City has world class striker like haaland or alvarez. Osimhen is unnecessary there. None is willing to pay 500m for osimhen. Not even saudi club too.
$500M is a ridiculous price and will be nearly double the record price of Neymar years ago. With that price, no club will buy him from Napoli but I believe Napoli will sell Osimhen when they see chances to do it. They sold Lavezzi, Cavani, Higuain, Kim Min Jae and surely will not have big issue to sell Osimhen. They only wait for perfect opportunity with good price to sell the striker.

The return of Kylian Mbappe to the Paris Saint Germaine side I thought would help the club to comfortably beat Toulouse but little did I know that the home team were very prepared for the game against the French champions.
So PSG have to rely on Mbappe to find winnings and will they surrender the player in internal fight?

Quote
Luis Enrique hasn't convinced anyone at the club in his first two games that he has all it takes to the club to another level they've never reached before. PSG's only goal in the game was scored after they were awarded a penalty which Kylian Mbappe converted. Enrique with all the quality players in the PSG set-up must begin to get better results if he really want to remain as the manager of the club till the end of the season.
It's not convincing so far but he needs more time to do his job. I disagree that he must get good results immediately after joining PSG in this summer. PSG should be patient with their coach and avoid any unnecessary sack on Luiz Enrique because it will cause another chaos in their club and will break their plans for development with Luiz Enrique.

Good news for the parisians as their most valuable and big name returns to the team squad. Kylian Mbappe have alot going through his mind, he's involved in good positioning, and he's the man that knows entirely how to net a goal for PSG at the present moment. The new signing are yet to blend in, still at the building and adapting process. Toulouse 1 and Paris Saint Germain 1, not actually the results they hoped in mind
They must be clear that they will have to build up a new squad with new players as many players in their current squad are getting older and must be replaced in next some seasons. Their future might not have contribution of Mbappe so they must build up a new attacking system with a preparation for non existence and contribution of Mbappe.

If they continue to rely on Mbappe even a few months and fail to prepare for his departure in this season or next summer, they will have a shock with attacking system and will face with a mountain of difficult in a next summer.

Al nassr was just facing back to back lost. It's a very hard situation for ronaldo. He feels so desperate about it. Al nassr probably got two chances for penalty, but the referee didn't care about that. The fans were going so crazy and they booed him during the match. We are still far away from the middle of season. I do believe al nassr will able to come back stronger. I didn't even expect how taawoun was able performing so well during the match.
Their problems are from old players who can not play match by match like young players. They will have bigger risk of injuries if they play match by match, week by week like this and if they even are luckily enough to have zero injury, their performance will be not best when their fitness is not best.

Quote
Ronaldo has been trying so hard in scoring for nassr but i can understand if he is not lucky enough. It's so strange to see how the fans were not even supporting him.
Nassr will come back soon. The club needs to bounding.
We know Ronaldo can not score goals in all matches like when he was younger years ago. Al Nassr knows about it too but the reputation of Ronaldo is very big and they accept some disadvantages of his ageing problem because marketing effects are bigger and more attractive with their club and the league.

Cristiano Ronaldo is always ambitious and whenever he plays, he plays with his best contribution and highest ambition to win matches. However, you can not win a match simply with ambition or willingness to win it. You must win a match with your team mates and a whole team must play well together to win a match.

Harry Kane gave Bayern Munich something great in his first match of his career for Bayern Munich.
You missed the actual first match of Harry Kane for Bayern Munich. In fact it is a big defeat for him and Bayern Munich against Leipzig. It's 0 - 3 defeat and just happened days ago.

Quote
The first match started by winning. Harry Kane scored a goal and an assist in the first match. Harry Kane is a striker who is the all-time top scorer or second top scorer in the English Premier League. Being the top scorer in the Premier League for the majority of seasons for a team like Tottenham means scoring against many of the bigger teams, but Harry Kane has made those difficult tasks easier with his skills.
Kane can provide Bayern Munich many things and options as he can score many goals and give many assists as well as key passes. He shown it in Tottenham and English national team in some big tournaments. The first match in Bundesliga with one goal and one assist is just another show from Kane with some of his best skills.

Quote
Harry Kane coming from Tottenham to Bayern Munich is a good deal for Bayern Munich as both player and club will benefit from this deal. The club is dreaming of winning the league title and the Champions League title with Harry Kane in the team and Harry Kane is dreaming of the Ballon d'Or at Bayern Munich.
I read some analyses that Kane will make Bayern Munich stronger and more dominating in Bundesliga. It's bad for Bundesliga as it reduces the competitiveness in the domestic league. In Champions League, people are doubtful that Kane will be able to help Bayern Munich win that trophy. Their squad has ageing problem and Kane only can solve the scoring issue left by Lewandowski but can not fix other weakness from ageing.

I never liked ETFs and still don't understand why they can't acquire Bitcoin in the process which was created by satoshi, mine it or buy it from a market? Why do we need ETFs, isn't this just going against the fundamentals of the Bitcoin itself? Like it was meant to be disconnected from the current financial system and somehow people are busy making it part of that financial system. I don't get it.
The world does not work in a way which is favorite by any person even that person is / are Satoshi Nakamoto.

I accept this fact and I have same thinking and feeling like you, that I dislike Bitcoin ETFs from Futures ETFs to Spot ETFs but they have been here and will be more available in future. Let's leave those ETFs to people who want to use such services which will cause more risk for them.

They are rich and have big capital so they must be more careful than small investors like me or you but if they are careless, it is their responsibility. Hopefully they won't fall into bad ETFs and lose their money.

Non custodial wallets, open source wallets, own your wallet mnemonic seeds, private keys and have your own banks. Soon they will learn that lesson and realize its importance.

So true. Because after all the legendary European players like CR7, Benzema and Neymar they must have realized that age cannot lie to them.
Not all players can fight against ageing forever. They can have very long career like Paolo Maldini, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Gigi Buffon, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema but they will all have to stop if they don't want to play at lower level leagues like Kazu Miura. The Japanese player played till his 50s but surely he was not able to play at highest levels or as same as he was younger decades ago.

Quote
And competition in Europe is clearly tougher and more difficult because young stars continue to appear in the world of football. Like for example Haaland, Mbappe, Osimhen and many more. So these legendary players will certainly choose to play in a league that still really needs them and still values ​​them. So it's not just about money. But there are many other reasons
Big leagues in Europe are dream and favorite destinations of young players globally because they can learn more and improve themselves there. Players who have ages from 25 will consider to join Saudi Professional League if they see they will not be able to grow up more in Europe. Players who have ages from 30s to 35s will surely consider the league as their favorite destinations when their careers won't last too long and they know that they will receive very good salary in Saudi Arabia.

It wouldn't be surprising if these videos were made for any purpose, or even for monetization, but even new crypto users have a lot to learn from this story about how bad things can happen to them too if they're not careful. And my main purpose of creating this thread is to warn new crypto users. She did not share the link of the shop from which she purchased the Ledger in her video, so the shop she mentioned could not be found online.
Some will learn from the video and some will forget about it without taking any lesson from it but you did a great job by sharing it.

If a cryptocurrency user can spend money to buy a Ledger wallet, but failed to buy it from an official store, it's bad practice and maybe it comes from carelessness as well as willingness to save some money. It's very bad practice because if you want to save money, you can use free non-custodial open source wallets and don't have to spend any money to buy hardware wallets from resellers and get hacked.

I don’t really know why Manchester City didn’t perform well in the match, maybe it’s because of De Bruyne's injury. I think Pep Guardiola has to look for a replacement for De Bruyne because he will be going for surgery and he won’t be coming back soon. Let’s see how Manchester City will perform against Newcastle in their next match. I know it won’t really be easy for Manchester City.
Pep did not start to look for replacement after that match but he actually did it after the last season Champions League final. He does know the importance of De Bruyne with Manchester City and does not want to play without him. However, if we watched Manchester City in the past season, in some weeks, Pep did not use De Bruyne and he tried to replace the Belgian player as well as gave him more motivation to come back, playing simpler but more dangerous.

The departure of some of the best players means they don't have a similar replacement yet. Gudongan, making the midfield line has no attack creator other than De Bruyne. If Bruyne is injured then Man City are like losing a creative person. I think against Sevilla they lost 2-0, it was difficult for them to win. Unfortunately, several goal-ready chances failed.
Replacing De Bruyne and Gundogan will not only player replacements but also tactical operations as well. They are both very important players with Manchester City in last 6 years or longer and they provided creativeness for attacking as well as balance between attacking and defense in Manchester City midfield.

Pep with his genius vision and idea for tactics, will be able to replace those players but in the meantime, if he can not find good player replacements, he will adjust the club tactics to deal with it.
773  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: August 17, 2023, 10:40:40 AM
Manchester City are the reigning champions of UEFA Super Cup. Kelvin De Bruyne absence made the game a little bit difficult for the cityzens. Manchester City will have face some challenges this season, why? Because some of their crucial players have exits the club, the young ones are yet to buildup to the top phase.
The last season shows some signals that Manchester City and Pep must replace De Bruyne as within some months, the player lost his position and important role in their squad. As well as the player got more injuries and missed more matches and the injury in Champions League final match only put his career in Manchester City under bigger risk. They are a rich club and soon they will find another star player who are younger to replace De Bruyne. I believe Pep already thought about it in the last season even months before De Bruyne's injury in Champions League final.

Quote
Checking the statistics of Erling Haaland in semi and finals, he have failed countless times to deliver his club, but if it's a regular game, he will scored an hat trick to prove his confidence and good positioning as an attacker.  Let's see where the cityzens goes from here.
Erling Haaland will need to have better performances in big matches but he is young and can improve himself. Fortunately for Haaland, he joined Manchester City that is almost a perfect squad before the last season. He gave them a kind of last piece of their masterpiece and together they became treble winners in the last season.

In a first match of Premier League 2023 - 2024, Haaland scored two goals which are his good start but I think he will have more challenges from defenders and clubs in Premier League. They already had one season and one summer to analyze Haaland's strength and weakness so that they can control him better and minimize his danger against their defense systems.

Some of these old moves still haunt me today, I also focused on some altcoins, I spent money on graphic cards, but I made the mistake of mining altcoins, I could have focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum only, and maybe today I would have become an Ethereum whale at least but instead I started mining shit coins, then I don't even look at those coins like they are shit, who would have thought 🤔 so?
Altcoins are shitcoins and very scarce altcoins can survive after one year or better one market cycle (about 4 years). If we check longer time like 2 market cycles, the number of survival altcoins will drop dramatically.

Most of altcoins die with time and with market cycles so it's painful to invest in altcoins. It is more painful if you invest in graphic cards for mining altcoins and see their prices drop with time but it's not worse. Their trading volumes fall with time, exchanges will delist coins with low trading volumes and I see it is more convenient and less risky to buy altcoins directly than mining them with graphic cards.

Best to avoid altcoins (shitcoins) and use most of your capital for Bitcoin.

If someone is from a restricted country using a VPN, they better be careful because Duelbits could ask or ask them to do KYC. And Duelbits may immediately block your account because you come from a restricted country or a country on its block list.
Many reasons to trigger a platform tool to freeze/ block an account and it does not need to relate to compliance problems but also can be related to security issues.

If you don't break the platform's Terms of Service, you can submit documents or information to unfreeze your account. If a platform is legit, they will not permanently terminate your account because of VPN. If they do this, they should have more reasons for such serious termination.

Quote
Duelbits certainly wants to avoid getting in trouble by still allowing those from restricted countries to play in its casino. But it's best not to use a VPN if you can access Duelbits or another casino so that it doesn't cause problems. Or you can use a premium VPN to access casino sites.
They accept VPN and even allow users to change usernames but prevention is better than cure and if you can use their service without VPN, why do you need VPN and use it if you are aware that VPN can cause some kind of troubles in future?

The main reason for Manchester City to get this rate is because of their performance in the last season and since they were stable in this transfer market, it's normal to see Manchester City with this rate.
Manchester City actually have very good transfer strategies since the last 6 years after they got Pep Guardiola. They have been consistent with player transfers and tactics they want to play so that they can execute transfer strategies very well. It helps them to maintain their club strength as well as enhance their squad after each summer. It's not coincidence or randomness why Manchester City dominated Premier League in the last 6 seasons, won 5 of 6 titles.

Quote
However, regarding their performance against Sevilla, we know Sevilla is not a weak team and they beat many strong teams in the last season in Europe League while the performance of Manchester City in this game was not bad.
Sevilla are not a weak team in Europe and they are most successful club in Europa League. The match with Manchester City again shows quality of Sevilla and how competitive they are in Europe.

By beating Sevilla with penalties, Manchester City got a very good lesson and big test for their players. It helps their players to become stronger mentally that will be so helpful for them in defending their Champions League title.

From the numerous reports in the news that Kylian Mbappe will extend his contract with Paris Saint Germaine, I think the it'll be better for Real Madrid to move on and look for another world class striker that'll replace the outgone Karim Benzema.
If Mbappe extends his contract with PSG, he will get better salary but how about his change to leave PSG and join Real Madrid?

PSG surely will not sign a new contract with him but don't add more terms to prevent similar chaos like this summer. They would compose better contract after each drama with Mbappe. The player should know the more he behaves and changes his mind like this, a more risk that Real Madrid will give up. I am sure if another young player shows his potential, Real Madrid will choose that player and forget about Mbappe after all efforts and drama.

Quote
They club looks like they're investing more on young players who would be groomed to become team that'll a big threat to the rest of other European clubs so I think they should turn their eyes to Napoli and sign their Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. He has the strength, pave, agility, flexibility and any other required skill to succeed at the club
Osimhen looks great and he will not refuse to join Real Madrid like Mbappe. He does not receive too high salary in Napoli and will be more easily accept better salary offer from Real Madrid.

Real Madrid will have one of best strikers and have better contribution for defense from Osimhen. With Mbappe, they will not receive proactive defensive contribution from the French player.

Harry Maguire will always stick tight like glue and I think he'll only really leave Man United when his contract runs out. It seems that he still has the ambition to prove that he can improve and get his place back, but I guess this season will be no different from the seasons he has been through. What was clear he had to mentally prepare because most likely he will again face the pressure.
Manchester United were stupid to buy Maguire and gave him very high salary but the player is smart to recognize that he will receive same high salary if he leaves Manchester United and joins any club in Europe. With his poor performance for Manchester United, big and rich clubs in Europe will no longer want to have interest to buy Maguire.

His only chance to receive similar or better salary is from Saudi Arabia but so far, no offer, no rumor about interest from Saudi Arabian clubs. If such opportunities won't come, Harry Maguire will stay with United, complete his contract and fill his pocket.

PSG don't want to lose Kylian Mbappe for free, even if it were possible. Kylian Mbappe will try his luck in La Liga with Real Madrid because he is very ambitious to win the Champions League title and become the best player in the world. He believes it will be achieved with Real Madrid and I believe in that possibility.
Want or not, PSG have a weaker position than Mbappe and Real Madrid. They only can hope that Mbappe will accept to leave in this summer because they have no chance to sign a new contract with him as well as no chance to sell him if he only wants to stay.

How about a secret additional fee from PSG for Mbappe just to force him leaving in this summer?

PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi have basically done his best, every parisians would have seen that, Kylian Mbappe is reluctant when handling matters relating to the affairs of the club, he wants to exits the same way Leo Messi did, and Neymar Jr.
Mbappe is different than Messi and Neymar who belong to previous player generations. Messi left them as a free agent and Neymar is going to leave them with a high transfer which of course has lower price than what PSG paid to Barcelona to break Neymar's contract with Barcelona years ago.

Mbappe is now one of brightest star players and PSG has very big reasons to sell him as highest price as possible. Losing Mbappe as a free player is a shame for PSG management and they will have to slap themselves if it happens.

Bitcoin vs US dollar correlation.

The correlation is sinusoidal with time and it isn't always negative or positive so statement about its correlation today will not be correct in future when it changes from negative to positive and vice versa.

I stopped watching too many indicators and correlations when I realized that Bitcoin value is not correlated with US dollar, gold, SP500 etc. Its value comes from its blockchain, protocol and decentralization, no censorship, very strong network against 51% attacks and more.
