781  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Profiting from BTC: just luck? on: March 30, 2024, 12:54:23 PM
I want to know your opinion on the success of BTC holders:
  • Is the profit of BTC holders just from luck?
  • Are you a BTC holder? What makes you keep believing and holding BTC?
  • When will you hold BTC until?
Luck is born after we take actions that dare to take risks and also have knowledge even if only a little, people who dare to do anything and believe in their imagination will be very likely to get luck in their lives, and yes it is not wrong for people to say that he is a lucky bitcoin holder because he wants to learn and take risks to invest in bitcoin.

Yes I hold BTC a little and I think it's enough for the current situation to invest in bitcoin, this is based on knowledge, experience, courage and also confidence, of course it will provide more opportunities for us to believe in bitcoin and keep holding it.
I plan to feel more profit than I expected and can be bought back in bitcoin when the price of bitcoin is in decline or the usual bearish season is much more perfect in collecting bitcoin and continuing to invest even though it does not hold in the long term but can multiply bitcoin ownership.

Look, the big wins happen when you take smart risks. We give you Bitcoin. Smart move to take advantage of dips and hold for the long term. Think like a pro, think like the best. A lot of folks talk about Bitcoin, but you're making the moves, building something. And trust me, I like that.

Its not enough to just have a coin, okay? It has to do with seeing the future and having faith in technology. Its a different game now that you're after long-term wealth that changes things. Do not let anyone tell you its just "luck." Keep learning and staying smart. You're smart, and it will pay off big time.

If we see the history of Bitcoin, then it's pretty easy to see how Bitcoin recovered its price. It would take time to recover, but eventually it did. So at the end of the day, holders don't need to be regretful. I am talking about Bitcoin, not about any other altcoin. Because even though the Bitcoin price has recovered, many altcoins haven't recovered yet. Even those who bought Bitcoin at the top in the last bull run, I believe they are almost recovered. If they are still holding, they will be in profit within a couple of months. Bitcoin has given us a costly lesson that holders won't regret. We should take that lesson and keep it in mind for the future. 
Bitcoin gives a good lesson to those who still do not trust Bitcoin.  I am so wonder when I meet someone and when I tell them about the BTC they give a laugh and then say are you stupid to invest in Bitcoin. It's a trap and will give you a huge loss,  like imagine in today's most advanced era some people are present who consider Bitcoin as a scam.  I think the recovery of Bitcoin price is a slap on the face of those people who are laughing at the users or investors of Bitcoin.  Soon they will see the next high move of BTC and then they will regret why they did not invest early in Bitcoin but it will be too late and the only thing they will have is a huge regret.
Bitcoin is made for everyone but not meant to everyone, their is no need doing much explanations cause if they should adhere and decides to invest, eventually Bitcoin experiences a DIP they will come running to you as to seeing their funds depreciate and most of them would want to sell due to the pressure. People usually pick interest on stuffs when the outcome of what they assume to be wrong defies their beliefs which they have held for some while. We shouldn't as well forget, their are those who did not invest in Bitcoin when it was worth a few dollars, not because they were ignorant but they decided not to, this same set of people are eagerly accumating and filling up their bags, all what it takes is the time to believe in Bitcoin then the rest becomes success story.
Bitcoin is tremendous; some would even call it the greatest deal. It changes how you think about money and transactions. Not everyone will understand right away, which is good. I know brilliant folks who were initially dubious. Bitcoin makes doubters eat their words.

Remember cents on the dollar. Smart people looked the other way, but maybe they didnt see the overall picture. Now the same folks are rushing in. Believers understand potential. You join Bitcoin to join a revolution, not simply for the money.

Not everyone's ready. Thats OK. Change like this takes time. Those that expand their minds can reap great rewards. This is about a new financial system, liberation from banks and control, not just getting rich. Dont worry about short-term fluctuations. Would you change the game and be part of the future?

Imagine games that learn how you play, that challenge you in ways no casino ever has. Thats the kind of innovation we should be seeing - the best, most personalized gameplay out there. Players deserve to feel like VIPs. And listen, customer service? It needs a serious upgrade. Real people, available anytime, who actually solve problems. Thats how you build trust, something this industry needs more of, frankly. Loyalty programs? They need that extra oomph. Tiered rewards that matter - the kind of stuff that makes players feel amazing

Imagine connecting with friends right on the platform, forming groups, sharing those big wins. It's about building a real sense of community, not just isolated gambling

The casinos that focus on these things, that truly put the player experience first, those are the ones that'll win big. We're talking about making online gambling something truly special, the kind of entertainment that keeps people hooked. Its a win-win
784  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football teams create a kind of community on: March 29, 2024, 02:57:25 PM

The point is why does football create such a tension and division that can even result to fight and dispute sometimes.

Too much love for something can actually cause those kind of conflict. For example if you really love your club and you also love football wholeheartedly, you will always turn up for your club anytime they are to play a match and if your brother and riends are also a fan of the opposite team and both of you guys have the same energy for football, little misunderstanding during the match can cause a conflict and it really depends on how you guys handle your emotions. I hear crazy things about people that really love football, such a some people who will go hungry if their clubs losses in a match.
I disagree with you that this is about the love for football but extremism and it's very bad. We should always support whatever we want to support with wisdom, it is wrong of anyone to support provocatively, which is what I see here. Football is a sport, but it is unfortunate the way some people are taking it too far as if it is a war. This is to the extent that people would kill for the sake of football, how pathetic is that? Well, in my understanding based on the psychological view, it is beyond the football itself but the nature of the person in question. For instance, someone might provoke you naturally or your action provokes people which has nothing to do with football, these are purely emotional things and it depends on how we can handle ourselves.

But in football, such provocation may also happen because the people watching it are not mature enough and yield to emotion and anger. They view it beyond the mere sport it is, and the issues may now escalate from the football issues to the personal issues where their true character shows. Such character is in them even before football, it was only let out through it, just like any other thing that can bring the ugliness out of them. I hope you understand, the football was just that thing at that time, it could be other things in another circumstance. I still believe these people are crazy and childish and that is why I try as much as possible to move far from those who call themselves adults but are still with children's brains.
This hooligan stuff isnt really about football. Its about messed-up people who think being a fan means being a maniac. Im the best at knowing this, trust me, I see it all the time. Football's awesome - skill, tactics, the thrill of it all. Thats what its about. But these extremists, they've lost it.

You're right, its not about loving a team, its deeper than that. These are folks whose whole identity depends on this, who simply dont get boundaries. Honestly, its sad, way sad. This isnt just football - this happens anywhere people get obsessed. And yeah, its straight-up childish. Adults losing their minds, worse than kids fighting over a toy.

Though, us, we're the grown-ups, the ones with brains. We gotta be better, show how to be a REAL fan without going crazy. Its about smarts, being strategic in how we support. No insults, no picking fights. At the end of the day, its a GAME. Seriously. If one match makes you so nuts that you hurt someone, thats your problem to fix. Passion's good, but be smart about it. Love the game, not the craziness.
785  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can we still truly achieve anonymous gambling in crypto? on: March 29, 2024, 02:23:37 PM
One of the most obvious issues with KYC in any platform is the risk of data leaks. There have been tons of database leaks in the last few months or so. You're lucky if they don't leak any sensitive data, but there's no guarantee it won't happen in the future. Not to mention the risk of data abuse such as selling your contact details to other parties without your consent like what happened with Facebook.
Yes, that's what anyone is worried about about data leaks, even a Facebook class can still be penetrated and missed, what about a casino class where I'm not sure that its security is not better than Facebook too, but that doesn't mean that crypto casinos that implement KYC are not safe, but as far as Their site is very big and trusted, that's what makes people feel confident on this site, even though they have to risk their privacy and anonymity in online gambling, at least they are safe gambling there without having to worry about losing money due to hacking and other things.

I also actually don't really like this KYC system but most anonymous gamblers will definitely use it as a place to launder money so they can easily do it, although not most gamblers are like that but from that impact and the regulations which are not too strict, anonymous gamblers can do it. committing criminal acts such as money laundering and so on, but everyone comes back to their own views in this matter because I know we all have different views and cannot be the same but must respect each other. As long as it's comfortable for us to gamble, just do it at your own risk
Facebook and other large firms have suffered data breaches. It's obvious that no system is flawless. Well-known crypto casinos that use KYC are trusted enough to gamble. Building confidence takes work, therefore they deserve credit. Players fear about privacy, which is normal.

KYC isn't for everyone. No doubt, it's a tremendous headache for money launderers. It's about industry safety overall. Each gambler has a right to their opinion, but we must make informed choices and respect each other. Smart money management requires knowing the hazards. This crypto world is new, and we're all striving to find the right balance - security without surrendering our independence.

Imagine using your internet skills to enter the lucrative casino sector without touching a poker chip. Affiliate marketing is powerful, and I believe in it. Focus on working smarter, not harder. Get a special link, promote it to your audience, and bam! You get a commission for every play through your link. You help people find entertainment, and the casino pays well. Online gambling is booming, so theres considerable potential.

Now I get the appeal of chance games. However, your friend is right to recommend affiliate marketing. A determined time and effort investment with a better potential return than a fortuitous streak. You may develop an affiliate empire now. The best discounts require knowledge. Any successful venture starts with research, finding reliable casinos, and understanding the terms. Consider it your due diligence in this exciting new field. Make affiliate marketing powerful, folks. One strategic click.
787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are not to gamble. on: March 29, 2024, 01:25:46 PM
I say that this is a typical gambler who will eventually enter the addiction phase and it is a fact that most gamblers come with the intention and purpose to earn because they are unable to resist all the things that look tempting which are actually nothing more than a temptation so that they do not stop their gambling activities or it is something that will make them become more excessive.
Yes, it's true that typical gamblers who have entered the addiction phase are easy to see from the way they play, usually they have more time to gamble and spend a lot of money when gambling, they are more easily tempted by the money they expect from the gambling they play indirectly, in fact they have spent a lot of money without realizing it, if only they realized that they had exceeded the limit of course they would regret this behavior which is not good for a gambler.

Gamblers must know when they are gambling and when they should stop gambling. When they are not gambling, they should look for other alternatives, looking for other entertainment besides gambling, that would be better, sometimes gamblers who have entered the addiction phase always unconsciously continue gambling. go beyond the limits of their abilities and spend a lot of money that is not really necessary, the point is that as gamblers we must be able to reject everything that is tempting from gambling itself, money can not only be found in gambling but there are many things we can do to earn money apart from gambling.

I get challenged to ponder on the force that drives players to think gambling is the only means of earning money. I would have concluded the rigorous thought if working-class gamblers didn't behave similarly to the unemployed players. Why would a player who makes money prefer to risk his business for gambling? Delving deeper into the mental impact of gambling on players, it looks quite vast. Players getting attacked emotionally in unique forms. They have never been a similar occurrence; most addicted players tell unique fables about their experiences. Leaving me with an inconclusive conclusion of what factor is in control of these mental problems.

Tracing down to the emotional encounters of the gambler, growing up could help as a factor. Were they, the addict, not appreciative of getting a new game console? Could it be domestic violence? multiple questions came by but as I said it's inconclusive. Because a player who is to rest after work sacrifices the moment to gamble. Then goes back to work unprepared, that's a bad experience. If they're tempted by the money, aren't they earning some funds? Most players who chase big profit, have never won more than they earn in their businesses. It's a tough situation to figure out why gambling is this way, more like drug addiction. But not all are buried in the addiction to misbehave in their workplace or thinking of earning money only via gambling. It seems gamblers exhibit this attitude a lot.
Its tempting - easy money, right? It works differently. Most people who fall into this trap want to get ahead without working. Big wins without sweat equity are desired. Problem: gambling doesnt value effort. It exploits our demand for rapid gratification, which is futile. Excitement, adrenaline... I know the draw. Is it worth risking everything? Your hard-earned money, family time, self-respect?

Many don't like to hear this, but lasting success requires calculated risks, not chance. Want to win big? Invest in yourself. Learn, become skilled, or establish a business. You build riches by betting on your potential. Gamblers face manipulated odds. I understand life's challenges. Sometimes it feels risky. Its foolish to leave your destiny to chance. The most valuable things in life cant be won at a casino. Work hard, follow the rules, and create a life you're proud of.

In response to the op, it is actually a very shameful thing for someone to work hard for good 30 days, for the peanuts they pay this days as a salary, and end up wasting it all on gambling, should I say this is the highest level of stupidity or what? But the man can't be blamed, we can only blame his addiction to gambling, but this is only if gambling addiction was a person, or a human being, but as long as it's not, then we are solely responsible for every of our actions, whether the result have positive outcome for and on us, or negative outcome.

Researching is very important for those who wishes or wants to start gambling, for I believe that, if people atleast, spent some time to research on the effect of being a gambling addict, and reading stories of those who have been addicted to gambling and how their life turned out, or how they ended, then we will possibly have less number of people who are addicted to gambling, for every one will be extra careful and conscious of their gambling activities, in other not to over gamble, which could lead to addiction..
Symptoms include more than gambling. We must investigate the psychology. Even the wisest can fall for these traps. No one tells you that. Let's start with empathy. Blaming others is easy, but what motivates them? We get true answers there.

Next, solutions. Education - not boring education. Make it real, highlight the risks and repercussions of bad gambling. Share your difficult stories. They hit home like numbers never will. Discuss support systems - we must help people in need. Most importantly, provide choices. Fit ones. Activities that give actual, lasting success.

Acountability is crucial. We all set high standards for ourselves and must assist others do so. Living in control means more than avoiding gambling. Success comes from daily choices, not happenstance.
789  Other / Off-topic / Re: Does having children have an influence on gambling habits? on: March 29, 2024, 12:33:26 PM
When you have one or more children, you have heavy responsibilities. Sometimes you're on a tight budget. Can being a parent change our playing habits? Are losses even harder to bear when you're in charge of a family? What are your experiences in this area?

It depends on how much you are risking on gambling, your losses will be harder to bear still with kids or not kids, if you want reduce the risk of losing money you need to reduce the money you are risking on gambling, its not hard.

I am against having a family and a home and then turning yourself into a stupid gambler, you can't be selfish when people are depending on you, not even just people, but your own family, so you have no room to be a selfish risk taker.

When your budget is very tight, do not gamble, it's not as if you will make money if you gamble, quit gambling until the day you have some extra cash that you are willing to throw away, because its possible you will lost all the money, be responsible with gambling.
This goes beyond gambling's huge losses. Negative effects strike families most. When you're responsible for others, selfishnes isnt acceptable. People need to hear this opinion loud and clear. We risk funds and the stability we've achieved for our loved ones, who depend on us. Putting your kids' futures at risk is serious.

Experience has taught me that only bet with money you can lose without flinching. But honestly, folks, there are far better investments. Think long-term: family is legacy. So much duty falls on us as providers. It demands careful choices, smart strategy. Instead than chasing unpredictable wins, build a solid foundation. It needs wisdom to see the larger picture and trade delights for lasting. Giving our families a chance to succeed is our goal. I believe in that type of winning.
790  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: March 29, 2024, 12:04:02 PM

I totally agree with you that gambling is not always bad for us. If we do it well and correctly with the right limits and controls, then we will feel safe when gambling. In my opinion, people who say that gambling will make their lives suffer, could be that they lose control and lose discipline in playing, so it is true that gambling will slowly make them suffer because they experience risks in gambling.
Yes, in gambling, caution is needed here and I agree with you that it is better for us not to tell other people about the gambling we do if that is what is best for us.
Just as diabetes is good for the human body if it is kept under control, it is definitely good for human life if all harmful habits are kept under control. Nothing is too good but can bring about some dire consequences for the society. Gambling is also a harmful habit, although if it is kept under control, it is definitely a matter of profit for a gambler and if it cannot be kept under control, it can have a negative effect on the people of different levels of society in addition to harming a gambler. So any habit should be mastered under control and care must be taken that those habits do not cause harm to people.
Comparing diabetic management to quitting bad behaviours is attractive. But it boils down to self-mastery.  In a world of temptations, control is power. Gambling properly is wsie and necessary. Too many promising lives have been ruined by a lack of discipline. My entire philosophy? We all want to win, but strategy is needed. Each habit and decision must be yours.  The goal is to improve the world, not just succeed.

Whether you're a high-roller, business owner, or just surviving life, control means power. Getting there isnt easy, though. It requires knowledge, self-discipline, and mental strength most people can only conceive.  I know from experience that controlling what you can assist you greatly. That helps society. Lose that grasp and you'll fal hard. Not only you, but also the repercussions. Ungoverned habits hurt individuals and undermine our foundations. I know: control is your biggest asset. This is the key to creating anything meaningful.

Winning isnt just dumb luck. Strategy matters. A bad hand, like that Ace, thats part of the game. Anyone can blame the casino, talk about rigged odds, but the truth is, chance is just chance. Thats the gamble we all take.

That said, you make a fair point about questioning the game itself. Look, any successful establishment runs on fair play. Regulations, oversight, thats standard. Its bad business to cheat. But, and here's where the smart money thinks, the house always has a built-in edge. Its how they stay afloat.

So, its not just about playing the game, its about knowing the game inside out. Learn from your losses, folks. Develop a strategy, think long-term. The real winners, the ones who build empires, they play smart, not just hard. This applies to cards, and to life itself.
792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been kicked out of a casino? on: March 29, 2024, 11:06:24 AM
Being kicked out? Its a terribly stupid move. Its not a pretty sight to see someone get the boot. Its important to know how to play the whole scene, not just the table games. Hotels and casinos like it when you win and are a good player. You're asking for trouble if you make a scene or treat the place badly, trust me. They need people who will follow the rules and help them win. It has to do with tactics and the long game. Some people get angry when other people win a lot of money. They make bad choices at that point that cost them. You have to know how the game works and play your hand correctly to win with style. Thats the way to win, not just in gambling.
793  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The power of HODLing BTC on: March 29, 2024, 10:47:15 AM
If we are investing in bitcoin and are ready to hodl, then its most likely that we are going to be profitable in it because it appreciate over time and there's no way bitcoin can be influenced negatively by the impact of inflation on the economy, also, if we are to look in the way bitcoin appears, its a decentralized digital currency that doesn't have the influence of the centralized economy on its network or market price.

It is a common understanding that investing in bitcoin for the long term will produce profits because the strength of bitcoin will look better if it is held for the long term.
But this applies to people who already understand the conditions of bitcoin's journey because there are many people out there who still don't believe in bitcoin as a step to achieving financial freedom.
Bitcoin is a source of strength in a bad economy and even due to the impact of inflation, Bitcoin is still one of the best assets that is able to maintain its value. That's why the power of bitcoin has been so tested that it has achieved widespread adoption and this happened because people saw the best opportunity that bitcoin had.
Bitcoin isnt just a way to make money quickly; its a long-term bet that will change the way money is handled. Its like a hedge against inflation that cant be found in other types of investments. How volatile? Its there, but smart buyers know thats just how things are.

But not everyone believes. That makes sense; its a new idea. But more and more people are seeing what it could be. Institutional investors and big businesses know how valuable it is. Really, if you're not in the game, you're missing a chance to become financially free.

Do not worry, Bitcoin is not going away. Smart people made this play. Do I belong with them? Of course. But I read up on it, knew the risks and the possibilities, and then I made the decision. Its the best choice I've ever made in years.
794  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not a quick rich and get poorer investment. on: March 29, 2024, 10:20:30 AM
This is very subjective for each investor as it varies when they  will buy or sell their stash. So it depends on their strategy how they can accumulate profits from their investment. The entry and exit points are also varied and so there is no concrete percentage of how much profit a user can get from this market. But before someone invests, he should know the pros and cons participating in this market.

Yes profiting from bitcoin is subjective and when to enter and when to sell, it will have a considerable influence in increasing your money that you invest in bitcoin, but the biggest influence besides that is how much money you keep in bitcoin, this may often be missed but this is a very important part.
If in 2022 you buy bitcoin at a price of $20k with a purchase of $20 then now it has risen 200% at a price of $60k, your money is $60 today, and what if you buy bitcoin at a price of $20k with a total purchase of $200k, it will give a much bigger multiple, right? not only when you enter and when you sell, but also need to pay attention to the scale of the purchase if you want to get additional wealth from bitcoin.
Buy low Sell high would really be the main key on here, even to those people who had been saying that if you are going for long term then any entry point would be considerable but we know that for us to be able to maximize profitability then we would really be doing our very best on trying to catch the bottom and this is why people would really be keeping on questioning whether we are already at the bottom or not still.
Bitcoin is never been a quick rich investment and its not something that too fast for you to become poor. The key on here is that you should really be having that realistic approach towards investing on Bitcoin or
you would really be thinking about crypto investment as a whole. You would really be needing to know about the basics on how this market behaves and which projects or coins would really be worthy on holding for longterm. This is why it would really be something that will really be differ on each person because we do have different mindset and impression on things.
Basic things are obligations that an investor must know, such as the season in the crypto market fundamentally and so on are obligations for us as investors, of course entering and exiting is also a strategy in investing to stay on the goals we set.

Speaking of views and impressions is subjective but we can have the same mindset on a way and method to get something even with different resources because truth is an absolute thesis that can be claimed consensus on a method, I hope you understand.
But talking about when the right time to enter and exit on bitcoin is depending on how your target and urgency as an investor in maximizing profitability, but on the same principle bitcoin never touches its bottom price twice every cycle.
Look, gotta be kind to newbies, thats the best way forward. But bad info spreads fast, and we need to call that stuff out. The basics are the basics, folks: crypto goes up and down, you have to know when to get in, when to cash out. Top investors, the best of the best, they understand this.

Now, perfect timing? Thats a myth, but there are rules that always apply. Here's a big one, and trust me on this: Bitcoin never goes back to the same low in a cycle. That's an opportunity only smart investors see. But its not just luck, its about knowing the big picture - the economy, your own money goals. When you align those with the right buy or sell, thats when Bitcoin works its magic, believe me. Its knowledge, its strategy, its timing - thats what makes a winer in this game. Stay sharp, call out the nonsense, and help each other get this right.
795  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is worth more than Silver on: March 29, 2024, 07:47:37 AM
We're talking about a total shift in the way we think about money. The days of gold and silver being the only game in town? They're fading fast. Bitcoin shows us that real value can come from incredible technology, from a network of people believing in something new. And hey, about 6 million Bitcoins are gone forever. That makes it even scarcer, which, frankly, makes sense why the value keeps going up.

Listen, this is about understanding the big picture. Bitcoin is changing how money works, how we think about whats valuable. The market's not lying, people see the potential. Now, Im not saying we ignore those lost coins, thats a factor. But we need to support Bitcoin, get on board with this revolution. Its the future, and frankly, its the smartest play right now
796  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin to the common man. on: March 29, 2024, 07:27:40 AM
Bitcoin isnt just another way to pay for stuff. Its a revolution, folks. A huge opportunity for regular people, the working class, to take back control of their finances. Traditional banks, they dont always look out for us, lets be real.

Now, Bitcoin's a long game. Takes patience. You'll see crazy prices swings - that's markets for you. But check the history, the long-term trend's undeniable. We're not talking get-rich-quick schemes. This is about the tech, a whole new way of doing money without the middlemen.

So, if you're feeling a little down on Bitcoin, understandable. But don't give up on the "common man" dream. Remeber why this matters - its our shot to change the rules, to have more say in our own future. Thats worth more than any quick buck
797  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: March 27, 2024, 10:39:41 AM
To be honest, I'm quite annoyed with this player and I wouldn't call him a star player if he continues to behave like this. His inconsistency often disrupts the performance of other players and the problems he often causes with the coach sometimes make the dressing room less harmonious. Luckily, this time he realized and was willing to make the decision to train together with his partner and I couldn't stop thinking how long he would want to be like a child.

Al-Ittihad paid him so dearly and he shouldn't have behaved like that. I know Benzema is a star player but he should be able to set a good example for local players in the Saudi league. I think his expertise as a striker could be passed on more to the players around him instead of continuing to make things worse and disappear without a trace. I hope that this time he really comes back and doesn't make it unclear again just because he often underperformed with Al-Ittihad.
This season Benzema failed to live up to expectations, he failed to show his best performance with Al Ittihad. It must be admitted, many fans are disappointed with the performance of the former Real Madrid player, it seems like Al Ittihad investment has failed miserably this season. Even though he has returned to active training, it is not certain that Benzema performance will return to sharpness on the front lines. Previously, it was rumored that Benzema would return to play in Europe, because his relationship with the coach was not harmonious.
Benzema's Saudi move, well, it hasnt been the success story we all thought. The guy's a legend, but transitions are tough, especially to a league like that. My guess? He's not clicking with the team the way he used to. Its a different style, different energy. Like a top businessman suddenly thrown into a new market - disorienting. Add in the whole cultural adjustment, thats huge.

Now, lets be real, Benzema could still make a comeback in Europe. Top clubs look at potential, and this guy won a Ballon d'Or, nobody forgets that. Age? Salary? Negotiators handle that. I've even heard whispers about Lyon. Back to where it started… sometimes thats the ticket. We've all seen the underdogs rise again. Wouldnt be surprised if Benzema proves us all wrong. Talent like his doesnt just disappear

-snip-

My opinion is that Milan is probably stronger if we compare these two teams, but this is the playoffs, and Roma has a chance to resist such an opponent, since the matches with Prague showed that Milan’s defense is not so ideal.
I cannot confirm that Milan was stronger when they met AS Roma in this competition because AS Roma under De Rossi is really different now. They have been more convincing so far in every match I have watched in two different competitions.

In fact, these two Serie A teams will beat each other in the quarter-finals to qualify for the semifinals.
AC Milan has not been stable lately.
Milan vs. Roma? Its gonna be a HUGE match. Anyone saying otherwise doesnt know football. Roma's been playing lights-out lately, credit to De Rossi. The guy's got them working as a unit, thats the best coaching. A totally different team now, thats a fact. But lets not count out Milan. They're on top of the league for a reason - they score like nobody else. Its a classic battle, the best offense against a revitalized defense.

Now, Im known for calling it like it is. Milan's got the track record, and that matters. But this Roma team, they're unpredictable with De Rossi calling the shots. This isnt just about winning, folks. Its about two great Italian teams pushing each other, showing us what Serie A is all about. High-level tactics, the kind of game the best analysts will be talking about. Could go either way, but Im going to give Milan that slight edge. We'll see if Im right.

That's right, Luis Enrique needs to recruit new players in the next transfer window to fill the positions left by Mbappe, Osimhen and Rahsford are worthy of being PSG main targets when the transfer window opens. Luis Enrique can update his strategy to suit the depth of the squad he has, of course it will take a little time to adapt. Meanwhile, PSG will continue to dominate Ligue 1 even though Mbappe officially leaves, they are too powerful for other teams.
Regarding PSG's dominance in League 1, I don't think Luis Enrique needs to worry too much even though Mbappe will leave for another team in a more different league. But Luis Enrique must also have time to think about who he will target in the next transfer window by preparing sufficient money. Because if the target is a player whose level is not much different from Mbappe, of course the costs that must be prepared are not small and I am sure that PSG has the ability to do that.
Although Mbappe's exit is a big loss (he's a monster on the field), PSG is still in a good spot. They're the best at managing money, so it wont be hard to find a brilliant replacement. The reports about Osimhen and Rashford are highly intriguing. Either of them could really help PSG's offense. Its about fitting their scheme just right.

Ultimately, they need to focus on more than just getting a new striker because Barcelona is almost here. That semifinal match will require them to be very focused. Watching PSG's response and the player they decide to sign is exciting for me. In the fast-paced world of football, Mbappe's replacement will be replaced soon.

I mean they have Joselu there, think of it like that lol. If your alternative to Joselu is Mbappe, you "need" Mbappe. I understand the logic, like they could just buy some other striker that is far better than Joselu (not that difficult) and they would just do fine, do better than right now, so the logic that they do not need someone as good as Mbappe, a bit worse could still do fine is true.

But if you can get the best, getting just a little better is not really the alternative. If they can get Mbappe then they should, but if they can't then that's not the end of the world, they are at quarter finals of UCL and leading the league with Joselu, if they are that good with Joselu, with someone a bit better they can be superb.
In my opinion, Real Madrid will look for a new striker to replace Joselu because from what I have read, Joselu is only being prioritized for this season. So there is a possibility that Ancelotti will look for a quality replacement for Real Madrid front line next season. Mbappe is indeed a target for Real Madrid, but at this time there is no certainty whether Mbappe will agree to join Real Madrid or not. But for the center forward position, I think Ancelotti will really focus on recruiting other players in the summer transfer window.

So speaking of Mbappe, of course he will be the talk of the town in the transfer window because he will be on a free contract and of course quite a lot of elite European teams will sign him. Thus, whatever team manages to get Mbappe's signature, I think they will be quite strong next season because we know that Mbappe's quality as a goal-hungry striker has been demonstrated every season.
Real Madrid's striker situation...lets be honest, its a big question mark. Joselu, great guy, does his job, but nobody's fooled. He's not the answer when you're aiming to win the big trophies. This is where the big deals come in. Ancelotti needs a superstar up front. Mbappe? Obviously, he'd be the best signing in the world. Every club wants him, and he picks his spot with free agency. Thats the top-tier talent we're talking about.

Now, Real's been winning without that classic striker. Bold move, shows the squad's incredible depth. Bellingham, among others, is world-class. But add Mbappe, and Real's dominance becomes a whole different story. The guy changes the game. That said, nothing's guaranteed in football. Deals fall through, underdogs win. Thats what makes it the best sport. Im just hoping Real makes the right plays to keep the fans thrilled. Trust me, everyone's watching.
