~Snip~
Barcelona loss to Girona for the second time this season was a setback, and Xavi acknowledged that his squad still has many weaknesses. For Girona, the victory secured a ticket to the Champions League next season, a first for the club in its history. In addition, Barcelona defeat has cleared the way for Madrid to secure the La Liga title this season, meaning Barcelona failed to defend the title they won last season. Another impact, Barcelona had to settle for third place, 1 point behind Girona.
Barcelona weakness this season is that they are not consistent in maintaining their performance. Overall, the players Xavi has are more than enough to beat Girona or compete with Real Madrid in the race for the title, However their inconsistent performance has caused them to lose a lot of points this season. Indeed, there are several players who need to be replaced next season, Oriol Romeu does not need to be retained because he does not contribute anything to the team. Xavi must bring in a quality defensive midfielder to add strength to Barcelona defense. Xavi must learn more from his failures this season, he must also reflect on the squad led by Xabi Alonso who has managed to maintain consistency and a mentality that is ready to face all the challenges ahead.

Barcelona's squad is not strong enough. So if we blame Xavi alone for Barcelona's poor performance, it would be foolish. Xavi's match strategy may have some weaknesses. However, the main reason for Barcelona's poor performance is the lack of experienced players in the squad.

Barcelona's defense is very weak this season. And I would say it's because of the match strategy. Xavi's match tactics need more improvement. However, Barcelona has no experienced players except Lewandowski in attack. If you want to perform consistently well, you cannot rely on just one player. If Barcelona want to do well next season, they must add an experienced striker to the attack. If not, Barcelona's performance will be erratic in the next season as well. The squad needs to be strengthened if Barcelona want to win the title next season. Several important changes have to be made to the squad.

Köln vs Freiburg ended up 0-0 draw, this draw didn't bring anything blessing to any of these teams. till now Köln are in 17th position, with 24 points they are 5 points behind Mainz, so sad relegation is almost confirmed for Köln. On the other hand, Freiburg failed to come close to Frankfurt, they are 4 points behind and acquire 7th points with 41 points.
It is indeed very unfortunate for the position of Mainz and Koin. even though last season, Mainz even finished in 9th position and Koin was only in 11th position. Their performance, since the end of last season, has indeed decreased quite a bit. and it got even worse during the early stages of this season. So they often fail, and even experience sad goals. Not just Mainz and Koin but also Union Berlin. In fact, Berlin also experienced a very low performance this season. They fell from 4th position last season and are now in 15th position, almost in the relegation zone.

What was really surprising was the opposite, Stuttgart. imagine, they were in the play-off relegation zone last season, right? but this season really has extraordinary progress. Currently he is even in the top 3 and entered UCL. This is a truly extraordinary achievement.
In fact, the difference between the points they got this season and last season is very large, this time they have managed to reach 34 points. This really is a record too.

Yes, that definitely has been a great improvement story from this Stuttgart team. And now I hope they will be able to continue the improvement.

Generally, we see a lot of times that the teams which improve very quickly, generally also fall down very quickly as well. I hope that is not going to be the case with them. They are in the third position and it looks like they will finish also in the third position. The way they have played against Bayern Munich was incredible.

And let's not forget that Munich is the club that has been winning the Bundesliga title for 11 years straight. Just because they have not been able to do that in this season, we should not forget that fact. And Stuttgart was able to beat Bayern Munich pretty easily. I think good things are coming from this team in the future.

Tomorrow Udinese will play against Napoli, on paper Napoli is clearly the favourite but I'm afraid Udinese can give a surprise when they play at home, we saw an example in yesterday's match when Sassuolo beat Inter Milan. This season Napoli are not aiming for any tickets so if they lose or draw it will not have an impact on their position that's why Napoli played badly in the last 3 matches, imagine a weak team like Empoli could beat them on April 20.

Napoli Suffer Huge Injury Concern Ahead of Crunch Udinese Meeting
Source: https://cultofcalcio.com

Udinese will fight tomorrow at Bluenergy Stadium against Napoli. This match is definitely going to be very important for Udinese. Actually you can call it a relegation battling for Udinese, Because if they are able to win this match they will play the same amount of matches with Empoli and they will also have the same amount of points. But now Udinese is going to be ahead of Empoli because Udinese has a better goal difference. And I think Udinese will actually have a good chance of finishing outside of the relegation zone.

As far as I know, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is in injury time, so Francesco Calzona’s man might go without this important winger in tomorrow's match. You know, except for the match against Napoli, they do not have very hard matches. But I don't think we can expect them to win all the other matches. That is going to be expecting a little too much from a team that is in the relegation zone in my opinion.

It cannot be denied that this will be very difficult for Bayern because Real Madrid is quite strong when playing at the Santiago Bernabeu, especially now that Real Madrid is in high confidence after securing the La Liga title and also a draw in the first leg at Bayern Munich's home ground makes it easier for Real Madrid to win. can turn things around in this second leg.
Of course there is still a chance for Bayern or Real Madrid but we also have to predict this realistically and I think Real Madrid will be able to win easily at home and with the quality they have, I don't doubt that.

Just one match, the advantage for Real will be that the match will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Real have not lost a single match at home this season. In this case, victory for Bayern looks very difficult to achieve, and it seems that Real Madrid currently have a better chance of reaching the final. What can Tuchel come up with that could surprise Real, and will he try to press, or will he choose a defensive strategy this time, although this is unlikely to work against Real.

It is going to be a great match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Of course, whoever is going to win this match is going to advance to the final of the Champions League. And that's why this match is going to be very competitive. Actually I have a feeling that this match might actually go into extra time and finally get decided on penalties. But if Real Madrid can actually get through this semi final, I have a feeling that the final is going to be easier for them compared to this. Regardless of who it is in the finals, PSG or Dortmund, Real Madrid is going to find it easier. And I know all of us are giving Real Madrid the best odds to win the final is because they have defeated the biggest problem which was Manchester City. I think the majority of the people are thinking that the winner of the Champions League is going to be Real Madrid.

I am wondering how it could have been Leverkusen actually played in the Champions League this season.

Darmstadt, Koln and also Mainz 05 are three teams that are in the relegation zone and for Darmstadt and Koln it is clear that they will immediately be in Bundesliga 2 next season.

On the other hand, Freiburg failed to come close to Frankfurt, they are 4 points behind and acquire 7th points with 41 points.

Köln has not been performing well in recent years. In the last couple of seasons, they have seen a steady decline. In this season they are currently in the relegation zone. And the way things are shaping up, I do not think they will be able to avoid relegation in this season anymore.

Actually, I think there is still a chance for them to at least play in the relegation playoffs. But even that idea looks really far away from reality.  In this season it looks like they are going to get relegated and I think if they actually get relegated, it is going to take them a long time to earn promotion again. Hard to believe that only one season ago they had finished on the seventh position and played in the Europa Conference League qualifier. I am talking about the 2021-22 season.

Bayer Leverkusen are forever grateful to Xabi Alonso for giving them an amazing stats in the records of Bundesliga and they've been the only team to remain unbeaten till this moment. Although rumours keep flying around, most people have thought about this one season wonder and discredit Xabi Alonso to become a promising coach. However we tend to see where they will end in the UEFA Champions League next season and their performance to remain balance.
It is appropriate to say this even though what Bayer Leverkusen fans are currently waiting for is the UEL trophy this season and also the DFB Cup trophy this season, where Bayer Leverkusen still has the potential to get both this season. So Bayer Leverkusen not only get the Bundesliga trophy, but still have the possibility to get two more trophies before they return to developing their extraordinary tactics next season in the more prestigious competition, namely the UCL.
Being unbeaten in the Bundesliga is no small feat for Leverkusen. Also, they looked solid versus Frankfurt. Can they maintain this insane form? After big seasons, teams usually fold, but I'm glad Xabi Alonso is staying. He adds strategy and experience that could make all the difference. Leverkusen must keep improving their winning techniques. Teams discover you in the UCL, increasing pressure. Do they have enough depth to compensate, or do they need another major player? I want to see how they handle the Bundesliga burden and more

Leverkusen rolls on as Eintracht is overwhelmed
Bayer Leverkusen extended its unbeaten streak as it secured a 5-1 away victory at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.
https://www.beinsports.com/en-au/football/bundesliga/articles/leverkusen-rolls-on-as-eintracht-is-overwhelmed-2024-05-05

It does not look like Leverkusen is in any kind of mood to actually lose in this season. I am pretty sure that they are going to finish the season without a single loss. And just look at the accuracy. They had nine shots in total and seven on target. Out of those, nine of them were actually goals. I understand that there were two penalties but still, those had to be scored as well. It looks like it almost does not matter how much difficulty actually comes in front of Leverkusen, they are chilling in almost any situation. They have already won the Bundesliga title, they are on their way to winning the Europa League competition and also the DFB pokal. This has been like a dream come true for them.

I thought that if intermilan intentionally lost against sassuolo in order to help the club to leave from the relegation zone. I think that if it was a part of fratesi's contract. Sassuolo would be getting money + 6 points from intermilan freely. It's hard to believe that how intermilan was only losing against sassuolo and it was two times in a row.
It looks so unreal for me to see that happens with intermilan. Even though intermilan has won the league but it could create another record. Intermilan owns the ball possession but it made only one goal attempt against sassuolo. It's weird to see that the statistics recorded by intermilan.
According to my thoughts, if we look at the strength that Intermilan has, it should be very easy for them to beat Sassuolo. I feel that Intermilan deliberately let Sassuolo get one goal and after that kept Intermilan's position. After that, Intermilan continued to play normally but didn't really set up a formation. I don't know that this kind of collaboration is allowed by the Serie A League organizers. It seems that there are no rules that prohibit this kind of collaboration. Even though Intermilan lost by one, they deliberately lost for the sake of Sassuolo, they still appear to be in first place with a distance of 19 points, which is very difficult for Milan to catch.

Serie A Champions Inter Milan “Too Casual” In Surprise Loss To Sassuolo – Netherlands FIFA World Cup Star Emblematic

This was a result that I never expected. I thought it was going to be the other way around. Inter actually had control over the match when it came to the possession of the ball. But they were unable to score any goal. They did make some chances. But every time they go against Sassuolo, it feels like Sassuolo somehow becomes one of the best teams in the Serie A. Was actually like that in this match as well. But I guess Inter has already won the league title and that’s why they are not at all worried about how the rest of the matches go. They are probably just now going to give chances to the players that are not regular in the squad. This actually gives Sassuolo some chances and some hope that they might actually get out of the relegation zone.
88  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to get your Dad (or Mom) to buy Bitcoin? on: May 05, 2024, 09:35:28 AM
Me?
So sorry, but I think that I will never make it. Because I really understand my parents' condition so far. So it is very unlikely that they will invest in Bitcoin. yeah, no problem. Let them enjoy their old age more comfortably and calmly without thinking about Bitcoin assets with all their fluctuations. What they do is just to breathe in the fresh air of the village and carry out daily activities that they like. Yes, that's their wish and I really appreciate it.

However, I don't want to generalize all old rooms like that, because their conditions are definitely different. If you want to convince your parents to invest in Bitcoin, make sure you understand the conditions and financial readiness of your parents. Both your mom and dad will usually tend to follow their child's wishes, even though they are sometimes quite at odds with what they really want. For this reason, we also encourage them to get to know Bitcoin in order to invest in it. unless they are very close to technology and are no strangers to Bitcoin. Then they also understand what Bitcoin is like, its fluctuations and various things related to risks. Parents will usually be very careful about the risks they take, so make sure you have a very strong reason, which is not in the form of promises that are too high or too sweet.

This is a totally fair argument. The point is, I am concerned about some degree of system collapse over the next decade or two (I do not know, depends on each case, but maybe they do not live that long), and help them understand bitcoin so they can "earn" their way out, that would be quite satisfying. Of course I could do that for them, but I think that learning it on your own is a better choice.

Sorry, your article is so long that I'm lazy to read it, but I want to ask you, what is the purpose of you wanting your parents to invest in bitcoin? Do you want them to have a better life or do you want them to invest in bitcoin for you because you cannot afford to invest in bitcoin? I have seen many young people convince or even force their parents to invest in bitcoin just because they want to become rich through their parents' money. They are lazy people who refuse to work and save to create their own investments. Instead, they think they understand enough about bitcoin and want their parents to use their life savings to invest in bitcoin to satisfy their passion. That action turned them into an ungrateful child.

If you want to be good for your parents, I think let them enjoy the rest of their lives in their own way. Our parents have worked hard all their lives to raise us and now what they need is to rest and enjoy life, not the headache of making more money. If you truly love your parents, invest in bitcoin and use the money you earn to provide them with everything they need.
89  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The reason why you shouldn't force someone to invest in bitcoin. on: May 05, 2024, 09:23:52 AM


What are your opinions towards this particular topic?

I don't even want to recommend or give any bitcoin investment advice to others let alone force someone to invest in bitcoin. How would you feel when someone forces you to do something you don't like or know nothing about? If you feel uncomfortable, dissatisfied and offended then the people you are forcing to invest in bitcoin are feeling the same way. Therefore, imposing your thoughts on others, forcing someone to do what you want is a bad idea.

We should stop doing this to others and we should not do this to our children either. Many parents are delusional about the power of bitcoin and think that bitcoin will help them become financially free, and they are forcing their children to learn about bitcoin without caring about their children's feelings.

I enjoyed the tough game in today's Torino vs Bologna two team match of the Italian League. The players of the two teams did a great performance from the beginning to the end of the game for which no team could score any goals in today's match. I bet in support of the Bologna team in today's match but the players of the Bologna team  No goal scored today for which today's match is a draw.Today's match is a draw for which today's match is not won.
Initially, I also predicted Bologna's victory. that's because seeing their last meeting was Bologna's convincing 2-0 win at home.
maybe the situation will be different because currently, Torino is playing at home. and a draw is not bad for them. even though they are at a disadvantage in terms of points because they did not get winning points in the last 5 matches.
Torino must take advantage of the last 3 matches. Even though there is a match against a strong team like Milan, it does not rule out the possibility that Torino can also get a positive result. that's because they were also able to hold Juventus and Bologna to a draw. which means there is a chance for them to hold a draw or even win against Milan.


How nobody scored in this match was absolutely incredible. Both of the teams had a lot of chances to actually score in this match. Only if the finishing from both of them was actually a little good, I think both of them could actually have scored. Both of the teams missed multiple chances to score in this match. Torino saved 2 shots to cement the draw, Ivan Ilić saved the hardest one.

I actually think that Bologna probably does not want to get ahead of Juventus. This was a great chance for them to get three points and get ahead of Juventus. But now I think Juventus is going to hold onto the position that they are in right now. Really disappointed to see Bologna not be able to get all three points from this match. that also against an opponent who were not performing well at all in recent times.

Today will be the 52nd match of Indian Premier League, Royal Challenger Bangalore vs Gujarat Titans team will participate in today's match. But if the Gujarat Titans team can perform well from the start then there is definitely a chance to win. If Gujarat team performs well in today's match and in the future matches, there is definitely a chance to go to the quarter finals. But Royal Challengers Bangalore have little chance to enter the quarter finals. So I think this win today is very necessary for Gujarat Titans team.

The Gujarat team was defeated in the first match against Bengaluru after setting a huge target of 201 runs. Gujarat did not start well in today's match either. Bengaluru won the toss and elected to field. The pitches are not completely batting friendly. In the last few matches we have seen teams batting first fail to get off to a good start. So Gujarat should have batted responsibly and tried to stay at the crease. Wriddhiman Saha was dismissed for just 1 run from 7 balls. And Gill is out for 2 runs off 7 balls.



Gujarat need to score at least 180+ to win today. Although the pitch is not entirely batting friendly, Bengaluru's batting order is strong. This team has the ability to win big targets. Bengaluru played well in the last two matches. Gujarat collected only 14 runs in 4 overs losing 2 wickets. The team is collecting an average of 3.5 runs per over.

Hello,friends
How do you think the Bitcoin ETF approval will affect bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general in the future?
Will it trigger the development and acceptance of bitcoin as a new currency and investment instrument or will it drive us more and more under the control of governments?

-Regards
Bitcoin ETF has been approved for almost 3 months and it has also had an impact on bitcoin as well as the cryptocurrency market, I think you can also feel for yourself whether it is positive or negative.

To me, the bitcoin ETF brings more positive effects than negative because the concept of bitcoin has become more popular and familiar to many people since the bitcoin ETF was approved. But even if it does have a negative impact on bitcoin, is there anything we can do to stop it? No, we cannot stop the government from doing anything.

Woke up to see BTC at 63k this cold Saturday morning, although I'm excited but I'm kinda skeptical and have questions. Is the retracment over? Will price create another ATH from here or is this a dead cat bounce? Let's share opinions below.

Bitcoin is very unpredictable, so no one will be able to answer your question. Do your own research and make your own decisions instead of relying on other people's predictions because predictions are just predictions, there are no guarantees.

I can only tell you that the recent recovery can be attributed to the impact of the employment and unemployment index news released yesterday.
All predictions of a rate cut are becoming more positive as the unemployment index rises and that is why we see the entire financial market being positive since the news was released. But what will happen next no one knows, this may or may not be a trap.

People need to stop playing bets anywhere they see available, what is the use of getting robbed after many failed attempts to get lucky when gambling, it is not easy, always do your research about a gambling location before using them, unfortunately you can't escape this if you prefer offline betting over online, this is one of its disadvantages.

Bet agents are humans, they are not programmed like a robot or bots to process your wining fund straight away after you win, they have human minds and it's most time more uglier than any living thing in the world, if what you win is much they can plan to cheat or rob you, they can even plan to take your life, be very careful.

I choose online gambling because I don't want to be monitored, no one will see many as a gambler and if I get lucky no one will know that I just won a big amount of money, it will be a secret between the casino and I only.

I agree that offline gambling is more risky even though it will bring us more exciting emotions. In addition to us being followed by others or being played foul if we win against them, there is also a bigger risk that is related to the law. Many countries around the world still ban gambling gatherings because it disrupts social order and security.
Online gambling will be a better choice but we also need to note that it will also have risks, and is not completely safe as we think. So always consider and evaluate carefully before participating in any online gambling platform, not all gambling platforms are fair and transparent.

I think Bayern Munich should think a lot about making this decision. Because if they actually bring him as the coach, it is going to be a big problem for them. We all know what he has been doing with Manchester United. Who says he will be any better if he goes to Bayern Munich? I am actually convinced that if he is the new coach of Bayern Munich, the hope for Harry Kane to win a trophy is going to remain a dream. I think they will need to get a good coach who will actually be able to improve the situation and bring in better results as well. Zidane, Xabi Alonso, Jose Mourinho all of these coaches are going to be better than Ten Hag. And I actually think that there are lots of coaches who are actually going to be better with compared to Ten Hag. Imagine if they bring in ten Hag and he tries to do the same thing that he tried to do with Manchester United. Do not know how he is still getting considered as a good coach, to be honest.

When the Bitcoin ETF was approved, it opened a new page for Bitcoin, officially making it a part of the mainstream financial system, which could create competition for other currencies such as the US dollar or euros. This could lead to the weakening of some traditional currencies and push them to look for ways to improve and modernize.
How will Bitcoin compete with dollars and euros? Do you think the US government accepts bitcoin ETFs so that bitcoin can compete with the dollar? I don't think they are that stupid.
By the way, they accept bitcoin ETF, which means they treat it as an asset, an investment, not allowing bitcoin to become a currency.

Traditional banking will also be challenged with the emergence of Bitcoin as cross-border money transfers are almost faster, easier and eliminate many complicated intermediaries when using Bitcoin. This means banks may have to adapt by offering new services or finding ways to integrate blockchain technology into their operations.

Banks provide dozens of services to users and play an important role in our economy, banks are not only used to deposit money or transfer money across borders. Banks aren't limited to those little things, so bitcoin can't easily challenge banks' dominance either. Don't be too naive to think that bitcoin is so big that it can challenge the world.

On a more macro level, Bitcoin can affect the monetary policy of a certain country. If Bitcoin becomes more popular and affects the global financial system, authorities such as Central Banks may need to reconsider their approach to currency management.


Until now, bitcoin was just an asset, an investment. It has not made any significant impact on the economy or financial system of any country, let alone the world.
97  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't invest in Bitcoin because others are investing in Bitcoin on: May 03, 2024, 08:10:53 AM
When you want to invest in Bitcoin don't because people is investing in Bitcoin and you invest, I prefer taking my time to make a research before I invest on Bitcoin, Bitcoin invest is good but when you don't take your time to invest in Bitcoin then you will invest wrongly, the first time I invested I did not follow anyone step rather I do follow the research I made before I invest, some persons does not control emotions before they invest they follow a side news to invest on Bitcoin and that is why some of them do experience hard luck for their invest, in summary invest when you want to invest, don't follow the crowd but follow your instinct

That instinct is what an investor needs, although it is not always used. Now, investing in Bitcoin, as you said, is not bad. That's why if you are looking to earn a big ROI on your capital, it is really good that you invest in Bitcoin.

First, its price is too expensive in these times. If you are after a 10x or more return on your capital, that is not suitable for Bitcoin investment; instead, it is better to invest in top altcoins.
You are not wrong in saying that if someone is looking for x10 or more returns then investing in bitcoin is not a wise choice. But what do you rely on or have you done any research to be confident that investing in top altcoins will bring you x10 profits? I don't think top altcoins like ETH, BNB, Solana can bring x10 ROI in the next cycle for investors, it's not as easy and simple as you think.

It seems like you just invest without doing any research, you only invest based on inertia and emotions and do not research and analyze each project in detail yourself.
98  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How has Satoshi's identity never been revealed ? on: May 03, 2024, 07:55:00 AM
The general public still don’t have that information but somehow I believe the US government already knows everything about him. The thing is, sharing that info with us won’t benefit them (for now) so they are keeping it secret. The gov owns all the domains and the internet infrastructure. It is impossible to stay anonymous against the gov forever.

Maybe one day we will learn who satoshi was but when that day comes, they’ll do that to achieve something else. Maybe create panic in the markets? Destroy bitcoin? Dump and pump? I don’t know, but something important will take place when it happens.

do you think they also got Satoshi's stash?

i have to believe if the US government knew him already then he could be under their watch all the time or he must have been detained underground already or buried under the desert. for the US  government, the world is just too small not to see everyone actually. the world is just like their small village with 7 houses.
But I want to ask you, what is the purpose of the United States government burying him underground or keeping him in the darkest places on earth? Why do they do it when it doesn't benefit them? We should stop under the illusion that the US government is urgently hunting him down or will torture and execute him if Satoshi's true identity is discovered. Because that brings no benefit and changes nothing for bitcoin. Satoshi does not control bitcoin and bitcoin is controlled by the community, so whether there is Satoshi or not, bitcoin will still operate in a decentralized.

We are people who like to imagine, like to come up with thrilling theories like crime movies, we have no evidence that the US government is hunting to convict him.
99  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Bitcoin the Dumbest Thing Ever Invented on: May 03, 2024, 07:43:00 AM
You really made a topic just to say that thing about bitcoin. Since you said that, you shouldn't be here on this forum if that's how you feel about Bitcoin. Because most communities on this platform are Bitcoin believers.

So does that mean all Bitcoin investors are dumb investors if that's the case for you, OP? Is that right? although I still understand you somehow because that's your opinion.
Majority of Bitcoin investors don't have a clue what Bitcoin is, that is, how dumb the whole thing is. They saw the rising price and just want to jump on the bandwagon. Majority of Bitcoin miners don't care if Bitcoin is dumb. They see that they can sell the units to the greater fools so they spend energy. When the pool of greater fools dries up then people will realize how stupid it was to follow the Nakamoto protocol.

There have also been many governments and countries gradually accepting bitcoin as an asset like gold and most recently, the approval of bitcoin ETFs marks a major turning point for bitcoin to become more popular in the future. So, do you think governments, countries, large organizations are stupider than you as they see the potential of bitcoin while you don't?

Additionally, our society uses results as a measure. If you think people who invest in bitcoin are stupid, are you better than those people? Many people become rich and change their lives in a positive way thanks to bitcoin investment, but what about you? Satoshi created bitcoin and was recognized by the whole world, and you created something that everyone recognized? Or just a jealous person wandering around talking bad about others?

Give me your best answers, videos, urls, stories, anything

for me it is the history, people connected to it, the community and everything surrounding it.

Bitcoin is an investment for me. I do not considered Bitcoin as a currency system because it is slow and expensive compared to the options we have. So it is a pure form of investment which I believe has the power to outperform all other investment assets. I have been investing in Bitcoins in a long time now and I will continue for few more years before stopping. Then I have a plan to keep all my Bitcoins in a cold storage for my retirement. If everything goes well I might retire early.
Although each person can use bitcoin for different purposes, it cannot be denied that the vast majority of people consider bitcoin as an investment more than any other purpose, and I am also one of them. We can use bitcoin to protect our privacy, our own banking, but perhaps profit is what we really seek from bitcoin. Because in my opinion, if we don't have money, what's the point of protecting privacy? No government or robber will care about a person without money, and privacy in this case really means nothing.

There are still some people who want to make Satoshi's idea a reality of turning bitcoin into a currency, but I agree with you that bitcoin will not become a currency because it is slow and expensive. Bitcoin is really not suitable to be a currency.
