You're right. There is no guarantee that Real Madrid will always perform well. Although they played quite well lately, it can be changed in the next few matches. Specifically for the matches in UCL, it will be more difficult when it goes to the knockout phase. There are many strong teams in UCL, Real Madrid can get difficulty to win the next matches. I still expect that Real Madrid can sign a new top striker in the next transfer window, it can help them to maintain good performance. Although Real Madrid players have good mentality, they can't play with their best level without a strong striker. I think they can't rely on Bellingham forever.

Regarding Ancelotti, he is rumored to be the coach of Brazilian team. He surely won't extend his contract with Real Madrid. Sure, he wants to give his best before he leaves Real Madrid. And all the players of Real Madrid must support it, they must try all out to get the trophy this season. However, winning the trophy isn't something easy, especially to win UCL trophy.

Although Real Madrid seems in a better condition, but they also have 2 main players who couldn't play in El Clasico (Courtois, Militao). We know that these players have a big role in Real Madrid squad. Luckily, Real Madrid already have the alternatives, they have Kepa to replace Courtois position and few defenders to replace Militao position. But Barcelona have more injured players, it becomes their main problem.

Barcelona played quite well in the first half, but they didn't play as expected in second half. Even Lewandowski and Raphinha joined the match in second half, they couldn't contribute anything. It is true that Xavi also didn't apply an effective tactic in the second half. So, Barcelona players couldn't get enough chances to score goals.

Every El Clasico will be always a tough match. I'm sure Ancelotti and Real Madrid players never think it was an easy match. However, Real Madrid must feel satisfied because they could beat Barcelona and maintain the position in the 1st place. Bellingham becomes the hero, they scored all the goals (2 goals) for Real Madrid. He deserves to get a big appreciation, he is a new rising star player in Real Madrid.

Mandi darah? Maksudnya bear/red market to? Bahasanya serem amat, Om.  

Mentalitas itu memang diperlukan baik ketika market dalam keadaan bearish maupun bullish. Ketika bearish, kita dituntut untuk tidak mudah menyerah meskipun harga kadang merosot tajam. Apalagi kadang banyak berita negatif yang menyertainya, perlu mental yang kuat supaya tidak mudah terhasut oleh FUD. Selain itu, ketika mulai memasuki fase bullish juga tetap harus punya mental yang kuat untuk menjaga komitmen mencapai target jual yang sudah ditetapkan. Namun, kadangkala kita tetap perlu berfikir rasional, ada waktu dimana perlu mempertimbangkan perubahan rencana. Misalnya ketika nampaknya sulit mencapai target, maka ambil keputusan untuk menjual di rate yang aman. Saya kira hal seperti ini tidak salah, yang salah jika menjual rugi.

Ada masanya kita harus memilih untuk realistis, daripada memilih idealis tapi beresiko tinggi untuk loss. Saya sudah mengalami loss beberapa kali karena terlalu idealis dengan target yang dibuat. Ujung-ujungnya potensi profit malah hilang sama sekali.

If he said you need to learn for 9 months, it is actually his personal assumption. IMO, there is no exact time about how long we need to learn trading. We even will never stop learning trading forever because there will be always something new in trading. However, for learning about the basic things in trading, I don't think it must take 9 months. For people who can learn fast, I think he only need for 1-2 weeks only.

Of course, it is not difficult to get the sources of learning trading. We can learn from some threads in this forum and we can google to get the articles/videos from some sites. But make sure we learn it from trusted sites, don't take the articles from untrusted sites.

I assume AI trend was already started but I think hype is not as big as the hype of meme coin. I suggest to do more research, don't hurry to invest in AI coins/tokens. Even if Solidus AI was successful, but there are many other AI projects which failed and never become hype projects. So, don't gamble your money in AI projects if it seems not really convincing.

TBH, I never prepared anything for the next trend, not sure if it is really for AI trend. As long as there are many top altcoins with cheap prices, I prefer to collect more top altcoins. ETH, ADA, BNB, SOL, DOT, MATIC are some top altcoins with clearer future. Why we must gamble our money into AI coins if we have those altcoins with a more convincing future? 

The match is over already, Napoli 2 vs 2 AC Milan. AC Milan scored 2 goals in the first half, meanwhile Napoli scored 2 goals in the second half. The match was quite tough, both teams have done their best. However, I'm sure Napoli can do better if they have Victor Osimhen on the lineup. Sadly, Osimhen is injured, he looks to be absent for few matches because there is no clear information about when they probably recovers from the injury.

Well, I think a draw is a fair result for both teams.

Regarding the match Inter vs Roma, it is already predicted that Inter will win the match. Inter squad is better, they played at home, and they are in a good shape lately. There is no reason for a lose, Inter must win the match. I even think the score should be 2 goals at least but they only could score 1 goal only. But it is surely enough to secure 3 points.

It is true that Sandro Tonali can't play until August 2024 due to suspension in any football competition. It is a big lose for Newcastle, Sandro Tonali has a big role in improving the midfield of Newcastle this season. Guimarães-Tonali-Longstaff is the main midfielders of Newcastle, they are irreplaceable. If Tonali can't play a long time, Newcastle must sign a new player who has the same level as Tonali. I agree that Kalvin Phillips is the best option to replace the position left by Tonali. He rarely played in Man City, he also has a cheap price, and he has a good quality as well. He is a perfect option, I'm sure Man City will consider to sell him because Man City has some alternatives for the midfielder position. They have Nunes and Kovacic in their squad. At least, Newcastle can offer the loan option if Man City doesn't want to sell him now.

Kalau mau profit besar, pada intinya harus pake modal yang lebih besar juga. Tapi karena resikonya adalah berpotensi loss lebih besar, maka harus mapan dulu dari segi ilmu maupun pengalaman. Sehingga loss bisa diminimalisir dengan menerapkan strategi trading yang pas dan lebih selektif dalam memilih koin yang akan ditradingkan. Jadi konsisten dan pengalaman tok tidak cukup, perlu tambah modal kalau mau tambah besar potensi profitnya.  

Biasanya yang masih belum kuat mentalnya, yaitu newbie atau pemula yang belum paham betul potensi profit jangka panjang. Tapi untuk mereka yang sudah lama berinvestasi Bitcoin, biasanya lebih stabil mentalnya karena sudah pernah melewati masa-masa yang sama di periode sebelumnya. Mental itu harusnya semakin kuat seiring dengan bertambahnya pengalaman dan ilmu. Jadi yang mentalnya masih lemah, hanya perlu lebih banyak jam terbang.

Sepemahaman saya tidak ada bahasa daerah Indonesia seperti itu. Bahasanya kelihatan asing, mungkin salah satu bahasa Eropa.

It is true that Bitcoin is a high risk investment due to its high volatility. The price easily changes because of the current issues or news. It can drop or increase significantly when there is a big issue/news related to Bitcoin itself or the crypto as a whole. It is the real nature of Bitcoin and people view it as a high risk investment is in the right way. What's wrong with this?

How can Bitcoin no longer be a risky asset? is the high volatility in Bitcoin gone? 
Bitcoin nature has no change, it remains a high risk asset with a high volatility. If we change the concept, it means we deny the fact.

AllianceBernstein is free to say anything about Bitcoin. It is okay if he thinks Bitcoin is a safe heaven asset. But it is his own perception only, it doesn't reflects the reality of Bitcoin. He may consider it is a safe heaven asset because he knows well Bitcoin price cycle. And he doesn't invest for a long time, he may target to take profits every 4 years. But it is actually not really safe, we don't know that Bitcoin will have the same scheme in each 4 years cycle. No guarantee the same cycle to return in the future!!

The reason is clear enough, mate. Tottenham is the most consistent team in EPL, they can maintain their good performance. If you check their stats, they never got a loss until now. They only got 2 draws and they already won 7 matches. Also, their stats against top teams quite impressive, they never got a loss against them. They won against Man United and Liverpool. And they got a draw against Arsenal.

However, it is amazing how Postecoglou manages Tottenham. Although Tottenham must lose Harry Kane, but it seems having no effect. Tottenham still can score many goals, Son takes the role's left by Harry Kane. Postecoglou also can motivate all the players to play with a high confident. Although Tottenham actually has no many popular players, but they could play as a solid team.  

It is good news for Barcelona fans that Lewandowski already recovered before the El Clasico match. Lewandowski is irreplacable as the main striker of Barcelona, there is no other player that has the same level as Lewandowski. However, you're right that Lewandowski probably won't play 100% because he just recovered from injury. I guess Lewandowski will play since the first half but he won't play full time.

Yep, the main problem is on the midfield line. Pedri and De Jong are still injured, they are not available for El Clasico match. These two players have a big role for Barcelona midfield. However, Barcelona has other players that deserve to replace their role. There are Gundogan, Gavi, and Fermin Lopez. Barcelona also has Romeu for the defensive midfielder. So, I think it won't be a big problem because Barcelona has enough players to replace them. Meanwhile in barcelona defense, Kounde and Sergi Roberto are injured. Xavi also have some players for the replacement. It won't be a problem, Barcelona squad looks good this season, there are many good players there.

Of course, Real Madrid has many midfielders. If Camavinga is not ready for the match, there are still many players can replace him on the lineup. By the way, for the left back, I don't expect Ancelotti will choose Camavinga or Mendy. I think Fran García should be a better option. He has a good speed and more energetic. He deserves to put on the starting lineup.

Selama belum mencapai target, hold harusnya tetap menjadi prioritas. Kecuali yang targetnya sudah tercapai, silahkan saja untuk jual dan memilih opsi untuk beli lagi nanti. Tapi rata-rata orang, pasti membagi aset Bitcoin mereka ke dalam beberapa bagian. Ada yang untuk long term, dan ada yang untuk short term. Yang long term, pasti akan tetap hold hingga bullrun tiba. Entah apa pun yang terjadi, Bitcoin yang long term akan selalu di wallet. Sedangkan yang untuk short term, itu bisa dijual kapan pun terlihat menguntungkan. Alasannya biar tetap bisa opit dan bisa tambah jumlah Bitcoin dengan cara ini.

Itu hanya asumsi saya Om. Boleh percaya, boleh tidak percaya. 
Mengenai indeks fear & greed, itu bisa berubah kapan saja Om. Sama sekali tidak menjamin harga bisa terus stabil dalam beberapa hari ke depan.

Secara  teori, harusnya lebih baik dari bulan ini. 

If we are afraid of being scammed by fake platforms, we can buy Bitcoin on DEX and keep it on private wallets or hardware wallets. Also, we must remember that never use random platforms, use the trusted platforms only.

Those people who lose interest in Bitcoin, seem don't understand how to invest in Bitcoin properly. If they know it, they won't be too afraid because we have many safe ways.

It is true. Bitcointalk is the media for crypto enthusiasts to communicate (share, discuss) about crypto issues. It is not a platform of investment, it is a media for communication.

You are right. The Al Nassr attackers look very well, they played impressively and scored many goals. Ronaldo-Mane-Talisca-Otavio is a great combination for the attacking line, they also have Brozovic-Fofana in the midfield line. Meanwhile for the defense line, Al Nassr only has Laporte-Telles. So, Al Nassr needs 2 new defenders and 1 GK. But if Al Nassr signed 2 new top European defenders and 1 top GK, all the players in Al Nassr lineup will be European players. 

Ronaldo always plays with a high motivation. He still wants to create more records for his career. He also targets to win the trophies with Al Nassr as many as possible. That's why he always tries to play in his best level in each match. I think the discipline and the motivation are the keys why Ronaldo still can play impressively so far.

Yep. If Bayern Munich thinks Choupo-Moting is enough to be the main striker, they won't look for a new striker. They also won't try to put Muller or other players to play as a striker. In fact, they signed Harry Kane, it means Choupo-Moting is just a substituted striker. Well, it is true that they probably targeted Haaland but Haaland prefers to move to Man City. That makes Bayern Munich to start about negotiating with Tottenham for Harry Kane at that time. Although Harry Kane isn't a young striker anymore, but he is still an ideal striker for Bayern Munich.

I know that Chopo Mouting can play in some positions. He can play as a center forward (striker), he can play as a second striker, he also can play as a left winger. As far as I know, his main position is a center forward (striker). Is his ideal position as a left winger? TBH, I never know that his ideal position is a winger.

Bayer Leverkusen already scored 5 goals. Meanwhile Liverpool and Roma still lead the matches with the the scores you updated above. I think they are quite satisfied to win the matches with that scores. However, I expect Liverpool can score more goals, they still keep some strong attackers in the bench (Salah, Gakpo, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Diaz). If Klopp lets these players to play, I'm sure there should be more goals for Liverpool.

Anyway, I think these 3 teams are the favorite teams to be in the final round. They always win the match, they are leading their groups perfectly. Personally, I expect Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen in the final round.  

Why do you think it won't be an easy match for AS Roma?
AS Roma has stronger squad, they also play at home. There are no reasons for AS Roma to get difficulty in this match.

Oke. Thanks untuk penjelasannya Om. 

Kalau melihat harga bisa bertahan di atas $33k setelah sempat naik ke $35k, rasanya aman untuk disimpulkan support saat ini harusnya di atas $30k. Jadi tidak perlu terlalu khawatir lagi harga turun ke $28k atau $27k. Kecuali dalam beberapa hari kedepan ada bad news yang bikin gempar, ya bisa aja balik ke $29k lagi. Namun saya lebih yakin harga semakin mapan di atas $30k karena sudah mendekati schedule halving.

Betul sekali Om. Point ini perlu dicatat oleh semua orang.
Ada kaitan besar antara isu terkait ETF dan kenaikan harga BTC. Kalau isunya positif lagi, bisa saja up sampe melewati $40k jika masih dengan pola kenaikan yang sama seperti kemaren. Tapi hati-hati jika isunya buruk, tidak mustahil harga bisa dibanting bahkan turun di bawah $30k walaupun cuman sementara waktu.

Yep, for some coins, it looks a bit too much. I never think that Near can raise 50x and Shiba can skyrocket 100x. It may be not impossible but looks hard to happen. Moreover, we don't know when the altcoins season will happen. If we consider the previous bullrun season, the altcoins season happened a year after the Bitcoin halving, it means to happen in 2025 for the next bullrun cycle. So, it probably won't happen in 2024 as he expected.

By the way, I assume if Bitcoin really can pass $100k, there should be a big jump for top altcoins like ETH, BNB, MATIC, and ADA. It is not impossible to see they increase about 10x or more. But it is just a guess, and it may happen if BTC really reaches/passes $100k as people predicted. The hype on Bitcoin will bring big impacts on the altcoins, too.

If you just think about investing in crypto, you are better to invest in more established coins. Why should you invest in the new coins that are still in the pre-sale stage? The future of that coins isn't clear yet, right? Moreover, we are still in the bearish season when all crypto coins prices are very cheap. We have too many options for better crypto coins. It is quite strange if you prefer buying new coins than buying established/popular coins.

In my opinion, you are better to spend your money in the top coins. Choose the priority for buying Bitcoin, maybe about 50% of your money. Then the rest of your money, it is better to invest in the top altcoins such as ETH, BNB, ADA, SOL, MATIC, DOT, or other potential top altcoins.

Indeed. Barcelona is in an easy group, there are no strong opponents there. So, I can understand if you claim Barcelona will win all the matches in the group stage. It was quite different with the previous season, they were in a difficult group. They were in the same group with Bayern Munich and Inter Milan at that time. No doubt Barcelona will qualify to the next round in this season, they must be the winner in group H.

Fermín López is a very potential player. He played 3 times, scored 1 goal and made 1 assist. He is still 2 years old and he can play in some positions. It is a great decision to extend the contract of this player. I'm sure Fermín López potentially becomes a big player in the future.
