Ballon d'Or is no longer something you win; it's something you're given. It's not a reliable measure of football performance anymore. If we're comparing achievements like the World Cup (Messi) and the treble (Haaland), then shouldn't Alvarez win the Ballon d'Or since he's won both?
FYI, this award isn't decided by a committee. It's determined by votes from 100 journalists representing various nations. Each journalist has one vote.
The Ballon D'or certainly isn't fair given that people have to vote. Yes, I know Messi was great at the world cup and definitely did his best and won however, Haaland was also phenomenal last season. He was by far the best player but if the World Cup is the determining factor than I guess Messi deserved it otherwise it should have gone to Haaland given his man city performance last season. When asked of who should win the Ballon D'or this year, Pep Guardiola said he had a great affection for the both players who cake first and second to win the award. He went on to say Messi had a fantastic world cup competition and should have it. Messi was also grateful he was crowned winner still he knew Haaland was better than him from his final speech given on stage. Most people believe that Haaland should have gotten it and he should. He will do better this season having Pep Guardiola as his guide is a good opportunity he should be considered lucky to win it. |

Fiat money is not to be seen as ponzi but as scams and fraud. They are only backed by the government and securities. Fiat currencies are not sound source of money because of all these attributes they have.
They are after power and control as they monitor how money comes in and goes.
They can't not be snubbed for we all need fiat currencies even if people think they don't need fiat money. Government policies and banks are the real ponzi.

if you pick bitcoin as first choice. also pick another and explain rationale of second choice
(im mainly looking to see people opinions/rationale on choices that are made about not option C and compared to C)
Option C please, in the long run that 20btc will be enough to buy a value house and also start a value business. What need to be done is to work and improve on the measures with how you store and secure such amounts of Bitcoin. Get to understand seed phrases and what would lead to your security and privacy. 20btc is something you should just hold and forget not to think about the rise and fall of the price. This is same amount lost by Drake during the last bet he lost. A valuable business too will make you that 20btc so that will be the next option to focus on. Option E |

The Manchester derby is really not that fun to watch from my own point of view, because from the way things are going especially for the United side, they're not match for the Citizens at all, they can't even make it hard for Man City to get a goal. Manchester United lack so much in that team that even the coach Erik ten Hag can't find a way to figure out how to solve the problem.
If Man UTD continue like this I feel the Manchester derby won't be that fun and exciting to watch rather it would be the North London derby (Arsenal vs Tottenham) that would be one of the biggest in the EPL, because to me Pep have conquered that bragging right, the Citizens owns Manchester.
Man United have problems too difficult to be solved by Ten hag alone, the club owners are keeping a blind eye to the happenings for they are just interested in stuffs that will benefit their pockets. The owners are not sharing the same ideas as the sporting directors and that of the coach and his staffs. Man United have lost confidence they had last season they can take this bad performance over the next games they play. Pep has nor just conquered the bragging rights but has also conquered the whole premier league this season winning the league will not be another suprised outcome. |

Roma are said to be planning a swap deal between Abraham and Lukaku. You know Abraham has been injured for quite a while and he isn't expected to return before January. This injury ruined their plans and they had to sign a new centre-forward. They brought Lukaku and he has been performing quite impressively so far.
It looks like they aren't keen on letting him go after his loan deal expires. They want to send back Abraham to them and sign Lukaku permanently. I think it would be a wise move for Roma as they don't know how strong Abraham can return. Maybe Chelsea would also like to be okay for this deal considering that they want to get rid of Lukaku.
Tammy Abraham should have no issues returning back to Chelsea, now can you guarantee he would have all the game time to play after that Chelsea has numerous players in attack struggling and you want Abraham to return, that is not a good idea just to state the facts. Jackson, Borja, Sterling and few others including Madaueke has struggled for minutes this season. Tammy Abraham will not make a rash decision over his career. He had enough already with blues. Chelsea has increased the release clause of Lukaku, this happened since he started scoring goals for Roma. It's not clear of the exit of Jose Mourinho will lead to his exit too. |

I agree that the decrease of Barcelona performance is caused by too many injured players. Some of them are the key players like Lewandowski, Kounde, Pedri, Frank de Jong, and Raphinha. However, some of them have recovered now, Lewandowski and Raphinha have played yesterday. But they need time to be back to their best shape. It is not easy to play again with their best after they spend much time for the recovery.
I think, losing Dembele and Ansu Fati also contributes to the decrease of Barcelona performance. I still remember that these players often give the difference when they played in big matches in the previous season. I am a bit confused why Xavi doesn't need them anymore. Xavi may not know that losing them will bring a big impact.
I agree with you, especially in the case of Dembele and Ansu Fati. Barcelona would have performed better with those guys if they were around. even though I won't easily discredit the efforts of the players that played yesterday match. But Barcelona should have envisaged the big match and could have add more efforts. It was more of let's start hard and finish softly, yesterday. Like a case of we are in a hurry in the first half but have all the time to relax in the second half. If Barcelona had applied the same efforts they used in the first half, they would have performed more incredibly. After Ousmane Dembele was permanently sold to Paris Saint Germaine in the summer, I was very surprised to see Barcelona allow Ansu Fati to join Brighton and Hove Albion on loan even when they don't have too much number of strikers. Ferran Torres hasn't impressed since the start of the season and it's really affecting Barcelona's performance in their matches. Robert Lewandowski who was injured is currently back to action and hopefully, his return will improve the club's performance in their next upcoming matches. Fati was also injured and lacked game time from Xavi. Freeing him to Brighton is a way to get fit and return back to Barcelona. He is no doubt one of Barcelona finest creators and creative players after Messi left. Injuries has denied him the opportunity to impress Xavi, so it is good he is around Brighton coach who knows how to work with young players that are creative. Barcelona had Ferran Torres when things for Barcelona was difficult. With hesitation he left Man city for Barcelona. Xavi trust him even if he has not performed well this season. Lewandowski is the finest and best option they have in attack, his absence will lead to reduce goals scored for Barcelona. |

The connection between gold and bitcoin (BTC) as stores of value is obvious, and the demand for BTC as a digital store of value was a big reason why the cryptocurrency grew in popularity, crypto services provider Matrixport said in a report Monday. Bitcoin’s market capitalization is $540 billion, equivalent to 10.8% of the market cap of physical financial gold, Matrixport said, adding that gold exchange-traded-funds (ETFs) are valued at $200 billion. ReadApart from the traits of Bitcoin being a store house of value., it has also helped solve the control and power of the fiat money only if you do not make use of Kyced centralized exchanges. It solved some aspects of privacy and transparency with how the money flows. There's a problem with your tittle heading, it needs to be solved or corrected. Bitcoin I know is also called digital gold. Why the need for comparing. |

There are many people who trade on BitcoinTalk forums. Those who trade must control their emotions. If not, you will have a huge loss in trading. Why emotion is needed while trading is as follows:
1. Profitability: Profitability in the crypto market is very dynamic and variable. Traders' emotions create interest and excitement about their profits.
2. Volatility: The crypto market is volatile, i.e. prices can change rapidly. Having emotion with this position can help traders as it is important to make timely diagnosis.
Here are some ways to control these emotions:
1. Don't expect much profit. For example: You think that you will become rich by investing in a coin.
2. After you have invested in a coin, you find that for some reason it has gone down in the market. At this time, without being emotional, you first look at the condition of the token, what condition it is in, and then take a decision with a cool head.
3. Avoid revisiting a coin after investing. You place a sell order with a specific target.
4. Trade according to market conditions. Don't immediately invest in someone's words.
5. Stay calm and try to control temporary emotions.
A trader who is in charge has power and is king. He who has self control can achieve what those who let emotions run them down can not achieve. Whatever profits seen don't expect too much because of greed. The collection of profits is really underrated by too much traders that they eventually end up losing it all. And if you lose the trade that day or moment, fail to dwell on your lose and forge ahead. What should not be repeated is not taking profits and learning from your previous failures. |

I don't know much about copy trading, but the latest news that I hear about it is people losing their money because they follow some pseudo-influencer. Obviously this was driven by an unskilled person. and by people who wants to be rich over-night.
Unless you know who are you following and what is he doing i don't recomen copy trading.
I still don't know why some persons see copy trading as a breakthrough for themselves since they don't really know how to trade and earn some funds for themselves. I had tried copy trading many times and sometimes I end up losing money looking at the capital those big influencers are using to trade in the market and comparing it with what you are using. Market volatility casue one to lose money from the if care is not taken especially if we are trading with a very small amount of capital. I would prefer us to try to learn and understand trading than to go for copy trading which can be very addictive and not profitable in a long run. Many exchanges are making big profits from copy trading in case we don't know. If you have a good trader giving you signals of price expansion then you wouldn't be completely saying this. Its just a means to get small funds online. Daily, with the right price signals, you can make 91$ 60$ and also 34$. Some traders specialise on it and then make daily living from copy trading. It is no means to grow wealth. Knowledge is indeed power, with the right information and risks management this can be learnt and achieved. |

 Real Madrid is considering making Kepa permanent from Chelsea and Real Madrid will make its final decision when the season ends. As we know, Kepa was brought in from Chelsea on loan for 1 season and that made Kepa very happy because he no longer felt like he was at Chelsea with a performance that was far from what was expected. At Real Madrid, Kepa always starts and as a substitute for Courtois who is absent due to injury, his performance is always impressive in guarding Real Madrid's goal. Maybe with all the considerations and also good statistics, in the end Real Madrid is very interested in making him permanent and that will certainly make Kepa very happy because he really loves Real Madrid and doesn't want to go back to Chelsea. What do you think? Does Kepa deserve a place at Real Madrid with his performances so far? Not half if the season and Kepa has been a very good goalkeeper for Real Madrid, I still think over who would not want him to extend his contract for Real Madrid. Most of his teammates that won the Champions league together with Chelsea have all left the club. The management of Chelsea should do same with kepa. With Madrid you feel at home even when pressured, the pressure from the Premier League is wildfires. You need a strong mental health to be able to cope with that. Real Madrid should make haste he has been good in goal for them. |

It seems that Chelsea will have to focus on the league cup and other related lower cups in England but for the English premier League, it is becoming obvious that Chelsea might make the top 4 again this year. My interest is no about Chelsea improving theoretically, the problems is how many matches have they won. In the England, if you don't win matches you will not be feared and one of the factors that make teams win matches is their ability to humiliate other teams. If your team has lost that fear, the can be played by anyone as ordinary team and that is the worse than could happen to anyone.
I think Chelsea is focusing more of their energy on the premier league compared to the league cup because they want to reach a better level by the end of the competition. I think Pochettino was targeting a top 4 position in his first season with Chelsea and they have been able to improve their performance in their last few games. Currently chelsea is in 10th place in the standings and they are 8 points adrift of Liverpool in 4th place. I think they have to work extra hard in the next match so they don't lose any more points. In this week's match, Chelsea will face Brentford, where they might be able to maximize their chances of getting 3 points in order to improve their ranking in the standings table. And in November Chelsea will face quite tough opponents such as Tottenham, Manchester City, Newcastle United and Brighton. In order to ensure they attract player's to Chelsea they have to put more focus on the Premier league than Cup games. At this point cup games are almost not important for chelsea. They will be up against Brentford at home a good chance to win that game to show strength. I know it is a game chelsea can win with ease. There will be a total of three goals in that game and Chelsea will be the winners. No games comes easy anymore, you have to fight or go harder the move into the first four teams in the Premier League is the key. |

Liverpool did bad in the Premier League last season and so that they are struggle in the Europa League this season. We can consider them as the favorite team for UEFA Europa League this season. Liverpool success won 3 of 3 matches in Europe League. Despite not playing all of Liverpool's core players under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool defeated Toulouse 5-1 at home.
Liverpool in the last 3 European League matches, performed extraordinary, they lost 0 and drew 0, while in the EPL, Liverpool's performance was also good, they were successful in being in the top 4 of the current standings, Jurgen Klopp has again shown his best abilities as a coach, he really believes in Nunez and i am also quite happy with the appearance of Liverpool's front line, well it looks like they are strong candidates to win the European League this season. Liverpool used to be the favourites for the champions League and this time around they were unable to qualify for the champions league, so we shouldn't be surprised to know that Liverpool is the favourites for the Europa League. Liverpool is going to play fine even in this season football because they are back to greatness. Recently Nunez has been in great form and this form he is cannot be compared with the form which he arrived Liverpool with. He was obviously under pressure to impress. Liverpool had it wrong last year and last season as they saw sole important part of the players out for injuries We do not know if they will win the europa league but many people are betting on Liverpool as the main favourites to win europa league. Salah and Nunez has both helped Liverpool. Even the defenders who have won all when they are not performing well they will need encouragement from.the fans. |

The justice system is really fucked up. I saw another update on the FXT scam court trial on SBF which really pissed me off because so many people have been affected and till date nothing has been effectively done to the recovery of these loses
SBF is not in-charge of FTX anymore. he filed bankruptcy and handed control to an administrator. so now its the administrators job to find the funds. and if you look at those reports it seems he has found alot of the funds.. as for SBF the trial against him is still in the middle(nearing end) no judgement can be made until the end and no sentencing hearing can be made until judgement. its a case of being patient and letting the trial play out And what has those found and stolen funds been used for, to settle the judge so he could stay longer in jail? Why is the sentencing taken too long, when they decided the pause withdrawals and seize users coins it didn't take this long . All off the money gotten are being used by the exchange to solve matters arising for SBF. News like this is enough to tell people to avoid exchanges. There's enough low global economy instability facing another breakdown of exchange have not gone well. |

It seems De Gea is getting near to signing his contract with Macnshter United and he is going to come back to the team again. Since there was some news about De Gea joining Manchester United again, he published a new story on Instagram and said 'feeling good' maybe this is a positive signal for this player to join Manchester United.
In this case, Onana will be under pressure and there is even the chance for him to leave.
Yes, There is a big possibility that De Gea will reunite with his friends at Manchester United because there is a lot of news that confirms that manchester united will sign Him again in this winter transfer window. But apart from that, He is the best goalkeeper that Manchester united has ever had in the previous season and of course if de gea is plotted as a back-up for Onana, He will definitely not agree. but we will see the developments that occur between Him and Manchester united. On the one hand, onana will probably miss playing for Manchester united at the start of next year because He will be defending the national team at the start of next year. And that could be what makes Manchester united management approach De gea. Hopefully De gea return to manchester united will not make the dressing room noisy and He will have to accept the fact that he will be a backup for onana. Man United will always be his home and he had every right to go back and sign or not to go anymore, there won't be enough room for him for Man United have signed a new younger player as a back player for the first choice Onana. The African Cup of nations will see onana leaving the club so they need a player than can carry out a good job for the club. After the feeling of betrayal faced by onana from Man United to David do you still he will want to return to Man United? It is a long time until the transfer window now they have to focus on the next few games at hand. |

This week i bet on two separate match, the first you know about statistics i write, the second is very risky but is for fun - Juventus - Hellas Verona FC i will bet on Juventus
- Inter Milan - AS Roma i will bet on AS Roma Go Lukaku, go!
I know Inter is the favourite one in the second, but i want to dream! Juventus again at home means they will win and score goals lesser than three in the game. The highest to be scored would still be four still in that is not certain. Juventus will get the win for sure. Romelu Lukaku will not be welcomed by Inter Milan fans, for they dislike him now after years with Inter Milan. Not even his old and own friend Lautaro Martinez planing evil for him. Let's say Lukaku will score against Inter Milan. That stadium use to be his home he will score. |

Hary Kane is Bayern Munich's best purchase at the moment. Although he started unconvincingly, he gave the best performance. He has now scored 11 goals in 11 appearances. I think he has been comfortable maybe he is the top scorer candidate this season. In addition, this season maybe Kane will make a record transfer of players directly to become League champions. The difference in points is not much and that seems easy to pass.
I will not say no to Harry Kane being the best purchase player Bayern Munich has brought in so far this season. He has been very useful with attack and defending. That is a good number goals in his eleven appearance. Harry Kane will never struggle in a club like Bayern Munich where they have player that supports the striker. Among the list 9f the candidates for top scorers he has potentials to win same as others but looking how he has done that during the Premier league past he can do same as a Bayern Munich player. |

Harry Maguire and Onana the heroes for Man Utd last night, who would have thought it.
Both players have been getting humiliated and ridiculed, blamed for the team shortcomings but they shut people up last night.
I hate Man Utd but I am happy for those two guys.
The substitution of Amrabat brought in Eriksen who produced that goal for Harry Maguire. Onana has always been great. Man United is a high quality club, you have to be really set to work under pressure and cope with criticism that comes from fans and pundits. Note! Not even every Man United fan out there likes the way they play in almost every game this season. Christian Eriksen was still Man of the match. Onana is a big man, Maguire has to do more not all fans are convinced. Garnacho fewer minutes on the left wing was better than Rashfords. |

I think the competition for golden boot this season will be tougher as Erling Haaland is yet to score the number of goals he already had by this time last season. Yes we all know the impact KDB brings to the squad but in his absence Haaland will have to find his way around if he want to be in the golden boot contest, Son of Spurs is already proving to be a competition for Haaland this season.
The chase and journey for the golden boot will be more interesting when unpredictable last season haaland had all the support he needed to excel both in champions league and premier league. Doing it alone will not go easy for haaland Guardiola should also know that. How do you think he should find his way, he is not the player that dribbles before scoring get him the ball so he can score you the goal. Son has James Maddison, so getting assisted to score more goals can be seen unlike Erling Haaland. |
