I think we all know why it is only an issue with cricket. Cricket is very big in both of these countries. So of course there are going to be drama around cricket in both of these countries. I want people to understand that in a cricket match between India and Pakistan, there are so many big names coming to see the match which is absolutely insane. Those names do not even visit the NBA matches or not even any football match to be honest.

Almost every big Baller comes to see the match between India and Pakistan. That is why there are so much interest in a match between India and Pakistan. And that is also the reason why there are so many politics going on around this match. The other sports are not as affected as cricket by the political drama between these two countries, and that’s because the other sports are not big enough in these countries to be honest.
Now situation is completely changed in this area with cricket is also lost its craze due to IPL and other franchise leagues so Pakistan vs India is beneficial for the finances, but it's also lost its charm due to Indian supremacy in this game and now with this all they are now looking for the other strategical partners which are more beneficial for them instead of Pakistan like Australia and England.

But, one thing is sure rivalry is on and ICC also feels they need these two to play for them and for the sack of game which is just routine business for them in last few decade's subcontinent is difficult region for few things, so we can expect any change in near future as well which mean this headache is going to be stayed here for few more years but ICC which is under the mafia control can change this all, but they need few brave decisions which are not coming and most chances they will go with hypocrisy instead of these brave and positive decisions.

The ICC is never going to take a decision that is going to oppose the idea that India has. I want people to understand that India is the biggest revenue generated for the ICC. So ICC will make sure that they never actually offend India about anything. India is Probably the only country which has become self-sufficient in cricket. Right now, if India decides to not play any international cricket and only play the IPL they will still not have any problem.

If India right now decides that they are not going to take any money from the ICC, they will still not have any problem. ICC will be the one to be in problem. Cricket will also be losing popularity. India is the biggest power in cricket in Asia. So ICC will always do things that India tells them to do. At least not to do anything that creates conflict of interest between these two.

It has definitely been a great performance from Lionel Messi so far. The best thing about him as a player is he knows the limitations of his body. Unlike Cristiano Ronaldo, he knows that he does not have the same physical abilities that he had before. So he relies on his game plan and captaincy to make the team win instead of his physical abilities.

But I still have to say that his physical ability is still pretty good. If we look at Cristiano Ronaldo, we will see him tripping over and falling is trying to do stepovers that he did when he was really young and in his prime as well. That is not the case with Lionel Messi. Ronaldo did perform really well even at 37. At 38, the physical ability of Cristiano Ronaldo started to go down.

Let’s see what happens when Lionel Messi hits 38. but it is undeniable that he has taken the Inter-Miami club from absolutely bottom of the table to something which made them believe that they can finish at the top of the table.

Lionel Messi continues his streak of achievements after winning the World Cup in Qatar. However, he didn't gain much of a reputation during his time at PSG as he didn't contribute much to the crowd of stars at PSG. But after joining the MLS, Lionel Messi's streak of winning and scoring goals has continued. Lionel Messi participated in seven matches in the League Cup 2023 tournament and scored a total of ten goals, winning every match and becoming unbeaten champions. Since the arrival of Lionel Messi, Inter Miami has become known as a new team. It was Lionel Messi who brought David Beckham's lackluster club back to life in football. A Messi's contribution to balancing a club as a whole will be truly memorable. It is hoped that Lionel Messi will contribute better in the coming days and bring joy to his millions of fans.

I don't even know why there is whole lot of thread created about this dip experienced as we all know what Bitcoin is , and that it's a volatile currency and these sudden drop and dip are all part of it's nature so for me instead of people whining and complaining why not just use this as an opportunity to grow and currently more BTC seeing that if you buy now the ratio of amount that will be bought is going to be big

Because people have a misconception that we are getting closer to the halving and that will help the bitoin increase from now until the halving happens. They believe there won't be any more major crashes in the market. So people were surprised and even panicked when they saw bitcoin being dumped unexpectedly.

From what I see, most people don't have any worst case plan or preparation, people just daydream and think about an upcoming bull market. People are over-expecting the halving and think it will save the market from any major drop.

Whoever the player is, if they encounter a strong defense then they will struggle, not just Haaland. Looking at last season, when the club faced Mamchester City, their defense received special instructions to guard Haaland, and it worked a lot. But Guardiola's clever use of other players to be the second target after Haaland and proven when he struggles to find space because of tight guarding other players who create goals. Now here we can see good teamwork.
Guardiola has a lot of attacking players in the team and many of them have leadership qualities that allow them to take responsibility and therefore it is not so easy to restrain each of these players. Silva, De Bruyne, Gundogan (no longer in the team) could create the chance themselves and score a goal, the value of such players is very high and this allows City to have an advantage. Haaland is a very talented striker, Guardiola could see that in him.

Because basically, Guardiola is not careless in building a team, because Guardiola also really considers substitute player who have good quality too. Thus, when there are injured main players, at least Guardiola will be able to rotate and implement the right strategy for Mnachester City according to the existing players.

So yes, don't be surprised when some of Manchester City's main players get very tight guarding by the opposing team, but in the end Manchester City can still win the match. Also for this season, of course Manchester City still has good quality also in the Champion League, so Manchester City still has a chance to reach the top match in the Champion League.

The thing is most of the opponent that Manchester City are going to face, actually knows how to stock Manchester City. But that does not mean it is going to be easy to actually stop Manchester City. Of course  Guardiola also knows that very well. So he will try to change up the tactics as well. And another thing that we have to understand is every player is not going to perform well in every match. So it is also not very realistic to ask for a great performance from Haaland in every match as well.

Anyway, I think Manchester City is definitely going to be consistent. At least consistent enough to win the English Premier League title.

A target of 185 for the Island is quite impossible but in cricket there is no 100% sure chance so any result can be expected here. But in the beginning, Ireland's opener Starling has already been out for zero runs, which can be a disaster for Ireland. prasidh krishna picked up two crucial wickets with just one run in his personal first over which could have been one of the main reasons for the defeat for ireland. Ireland are unlikely to win today's match with a target of 185 runs as the fall of two wickets for 19 spells defeat.

India put on a really good score in the first innings. Ireland is chasing but they are not doing a good job. Ireland is definitely on the back foot. Ireland have scored 28 at the loss of two wickets. They have already used up five overs. They are definitely going to have to work really hard if they want to win this match. The required run rate is already over 10. It is probably 10.8 right now.

India put on 185. Ireland still need 158 from 88 balls.

And as I was writing this, Ireland lasts another wicket. They have already lost three so far. This is definitely looking horrible for Ireland. It seems like India is going to win the series with one match left.

I think the reason why the matches in the Asia cup or not consistently being played in one country is because they did not want any people to plan a hit in a certain area.  Don’t know how effective that is. But my assumption is this.
How about a surprise announcement just before the match regarding the venue so that no one could plan anything  Cheesy Tongue. The only reason the tournament is conducted in two countries is simply because of the refusal of the Indian Cricket team to visit Pakistan. As long as there is right wing government in power in India you cannot expect any change in this decision.

The hypocrisy is that only Cricket is affected by this political drama, India and Pakistan play other sporting events regularly without any issue Cheesy.

I think we all know why it is only an issue with cricket. Cricket is very big in both of these countries. So of course there are going to be drama around cricket in both of these countries.

It’s not easy for most people these days with the cost of living soaring in recent years but to budget your monthly wage and live comfortably it's important to prioritise your expenses and savings.


When life is more difficult, costs increase while wages do not increase, the more we must take measures to avoid excessive spending and must be disciplined to survive. No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it if we don't want to be eliminated from this world because if we fall into a deadlock, no one will help us. Everyone is in the same situation, so we must save ourselves before we expect others to save us.

But in addition to saving, we should find other sources of income to improve our lives better. We should not be too lazy and only know how to save to cope with the difficulties in life. Because at some point when inflation gets out of control, our savings also become useless.

From someone who have claimed faucets almost all his days in 2016-2018 and managed to make some good money from just faucet claiming, I can't help but thinking how those running faucets at that time making money from it.

Since I don't see many people talking about this today I will like to ask for your help if any one knows of any places that I can learn about how to run my own faucet and how to make money out of it? .

Running Doge coin and few other old cheap coins like Litecoin Faucet is still doable, I can even add the likes of Shiba too,  where do you think I should start from? What do I need to learn about?

Lastly, what advice do you have for my goal?
I don't really think that's a good idea, people barely use faucet sites these days, it was the good old days when all of us used to claim free Bitcoins from faucets but it was the time when Bitcoin wasn't this high and it was worth doing it but most people know they will be getting peanuts from these sites and it is just a waste of time. All faucet sites I used to know have closed down except freebitco.in which is still running but has evolved now and is very much popular.

Faucet sites used to earn money through the ads they used to display on their websites and since they used to get a lot of visitors every day, it used to be enough for them to fund the faucet and keep it running, they also used to collect donations. Getting that many visitors on a faucet site today will be a big challenge.


I also don't want to disappoint OP with his plan but running a faucet business nowadays is a bad idea just wasting our time. Think twice and ask the question, if the faucet business is still attracting users and still profitable, why are people no longer doing business with it? Just like bounty campaigns were a hugely profitable business in 2017, but why haven't more people talked about and participated in it until now? Those things are outdated and people have abandoned it, let's not be foolish to rush back in.

Freebitco.in still exists but it has evolved into a gambling site, and people are using it for gambling rather than faucets.

As far as i know, at the start revenue sharing model was proposed in the ACC meetings for the Asia Cup, which is the norm when we have multiple hosts but PCB was reluctant to move things in positive ways.

They were also given the choice that they are free to host the tournament without India but this proposal was also rejected and we know the reason already.

Hosting the tournament without India would mean that the revenues go down by 80% or more. So such an option is not viable. Anyway, without the India vs Pakistan clash, what is the point in even having the Asia Cup? Revenue sharing model works with GCC nations such as Oman and United Arab Emirates, but when it comes to South Asian nations such as Sri Lanka, the terms and conditions would be much more unfavorable. Pakistan initially wanted Oman as the co-host, but other ACC members raised the issue of unfavorable weather.
If you have the hosting rights and you are relocating the tournament to another venue then the deal favors the original host, it's definitely not 50-50 so that's my reading.

Anyway, Asia Cup is a done deal and shouldn't face any issues atm but the Champions trophy drama is going to be fun because it comes under the ICC. Btw did you notice, BCCI never made any fuss when they moved the last T-20 Asia Cup to Dubai? One could say tax benefits but BCCI never took a penny and all profits were handed out to ACC.

The Asia cup is already decided to be played in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. That is not going to change. But I think we all know that the same drama is going to happen again. The champions Trophy is being played after such a long time and I don’t think anyone wants to see so much drama that it somehow gets cancelled.  I believe the last champions trophy was played in 2017. After six years, we don’t want so much drama to be honest. At least I don’t want to see so much drama. I hope the champions Trophy eventually ends up being played. Pakistan does hold the right to host the champions Trophy. But I am pretty sure that the whole tournament is not going to be played in Pakistan.

I think the reason why the matches in the Asia cup or not consistently being played in one country is because they did not want any people to plan a hit in a certain area.  Don’t know how effective that is. But my assumption is this.
850  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 19, 2023, 03:51:18 PM
We still don't know how Garcia will do. But Garcia has a chance to prove his worth. Napoli are likely to do well, as their squad is still strong enough. And Napoli doesn't seem to have any problem winning against a weak team like Frosinone in the first match.
Yes, this is the right time for Rudi Garcia to prove that he can bring Napoli to appear more than ever while under coach Luciano Spalletti, even though Napoli have to play without Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who will miss the first match of the Italian League of the new season against Frosinone today, but it looks like Napoli already prepared a replacement.

It is reported that two names that Rudi Garcia can play are Eljif Elmas or Giacomo Raspadori. One of them has the potential to start to replace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the left flank. I also think that Napoli will not waste this opportunity by getting points beating Frosinone, my prediction is that Napoli will win 2 - 0 against Frosinone, usually in the first match all the players don't really appear not too aggressive
Though I  wished Spalletti had continued this season with the title defense but I still feel Rudi Garcia is a good replacement because of his experience in major league trophies and also he's a trophy winner, therefore the task ahead won't be very difficult for him to handle and his team would be victorious in their first match against Frosinone, even though they're playing without their star player Oshimen.

 Talking about Khvicha Kvaratskhelia apart from Oshimen, he was another outstanding player for Napoli last season and played a vital role in the winning the league trophy, therefore Rudi Garcia would be relying on his performance and easily in the current absence of Oshimen in the starting 11, Khvicha had a good partnership with Oshimen and would miss his presence in their opener, it's a good thing Napoli didn't lose him this summer like they Kim.

I genuinely do not think that Rudi Garcia is a proper replacement to be honest. They could have brought in better coaches if they wanted to. Of course, I understand that this was probably the best that they could do. They do have to think about money. And not every coach is going to agree to join them. But as the defending champion of Serie A they should have got a better coach. Let’s see if Rudi Garcia can actually do what he is supposed to. I hope he understands that the expectation is going to be really high. I think even if he ends up not defending the title successfully, it is going to be an underachievement. The best option was going to be to keep the previous coach. It is always a problem if the tactics changes.
851  Economy / Economics / Re: Elon Musk and the fall of Twitter on: August 19, 2023, 11:03:14 AM
I can honestly say that many people around me have complained about the radical change efforts on twitter. maybe Musk's mistake is that he can't tell us exactly the platform he wants to create. but people don't seem to want any other innovation on twitter except for minor improvements. i think he wants to make it a platform where more crypto aware people can use it and get some work done, but i think it's too early for that. as you said, millions of ordinary people use this platform and he should make it a more democratic and user request based platform instead of using it like a rich kid playing with his toy. otherwise this decline will continue.
Many users are lost from Twitter due to Twitter's name and logo change. Personally speaking, I find it very bad now.  And now I ignore Twitter. That's exactly how many users are leaving Twitter. This is a wrong decision of Elon Musk on the other hand now anyone can buy a verified badge in exchange of money on Twitter due to which now many fake accounts are also getting verified badge.  Due to this, it is becoming difficult to find a legal company's Twitter page.  This is another fault of Twitter.  I don't know why Elon Musk is doing this.  I personally condemn it

Take McDonalds rebranding for example. Search in google how McDonalds looked 20-40-60 years ago. They have completely change the way their restaurants look, the way employees look (uniform), the way menu look (wrapping and etc). Do you think less people started to visit McDonalds or change their taste? Imho every company needs a rebranding. Standing on one place, while industry is walking forward is wrong. Rebranding was needed. In fact, Elon has changed only the logo. Everything else stayed the same. Users habits remained the same. Every single button is on a same place.

I get what you mean but having Twitter and McDonalds or other fast-food chains isn't really a good comparison to begin with. They are both going for a re-branding, yes that is good, but it should have limits, and Twitter got itself twisted because the logo has fully changed without any trace, at all, that it was once the Twitter we knew and that is one of the reasons why they are losing users and as the analyst says, the drop will continue towards 2024 if they cannot find any way to resolve their problems.

Just because you stopped using twitter doesn't mean others are doing the same and not to mention it is attracting new users. The people I'm following on Twitter are even more active thanks to the free speech or Twitter's revenue sharing policy for users, and I don't see any data reporting that the user is leaving the social network since it changed the logo. I know Twitter's blue bird logo is ingrained in our minds, and we get annoyed when it gets changed but that's no reason to think Elon is making a mistake. Don't forget that he is someone who has successfully run many companies and brands. He knows how to please his customers, don't criticize him for just a few small changes. Instead, wait and see what happens with this social network.

I don't agree that all the millions come from real estate. What basis did you make dude to say such a thing? Although, I believe that there is no cheap real estate that you can buy, especially if it is a commercial lot that is more expensive and has a high price. but I can't deny investing in real estate is one of the good thing to do in real life if you have money.

Then, there are many options that a person can make millions from, first of all it can be done in businesses, also in the conduct of Bitcoin trading, stocks, and others that are still related to business.

But you can't deny that today's billionaires and millionaires are the ones who own a lot of real estate and even it makes up the majority of their portfolios. But you're right, there are ways to make millions, not just real estate. Even today, running a business and investing in bitcoin will easily bring in millions than it is to invest in real estate. And real estate investing isn't for everyone, but with bitcoin it just got a whole lot easier. Anyone can invest and have a chance to become rich if they invest in bitcoin strategically and with a plan.

I think there is one thing you need to pay more attention to before thinking about the faucet business. That is, how many people will still be interested and interested in collecting free coins through the faucet? What I see is that even newbies are no longer interested in faucets entering the market, let alone old investors. In 2016, people are interested in faucets because there are not many ways to earn free bitcoins, but so far we have bounty, airdrop, testnet...There are many ways to earn free money and they can even accumulate a significant amount of capital to invest. But can you do it for your faucet?
854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: August 18, 2023, 05:27:23 PM
I just can't bet against Sterling in this match up, and he's at better odds than I was expecting; 1.40. Probably, due to Sean being a fan favourite, and a lot of the fans are backing him to win. I think he prefers decently well in the stand up, but Sterling at any point could decided to take it down to the mat, and I think he gets the submission pretty early into that. I'd say the safest bet is the double chance DEC/SUB, however I wouldn't rule out a TKO either.
I think O'Malley has a decent chances to win in this fight and maybe do it in a KO win style, so I placed my bet on him, lets see if I was wrong.
Aljamain Sterling is a good fighter but I think he sometimes acts to arrogant and someone needs to bring him back to earth a little, maybe O'Malley is best candidate for that.
I dont know when UFC started doing Tournament Championship fights, but they slowly started to copy PFL, I can see two fights like this in Prelims Smiley


 

This is definitely a good fight. I genuinely do not see a fighter who is way above the other in this fight. I see that Sterling has three losses and Sean O’Malley has one. But both of them are really good and capable fighters.

I think Sean O’Malley will be able to find some weaknesses in Sterling after watching all the fights that Sterling has fought in his career. Of course, three losses are going to mean more weak points being found compared to the one loss of Sean O’Malley. But again it is not that straightforward. Both of them are very capable. Capable of knocking each other out and also taking things to the distance as well. I think this fight is going to be an almost equal chance. For me, there is no clear favourite in this fight.
855  Economy / Economics / Re: Real estate vs cryptocurrencies vs business on: August 18, 2023, 03:42:22 PM
For now I'm only focusing on investing in cryptocurrencies, this is because I don't have much money for a business or real estate investment that needs at least $ 100k, in my city land prices continue to increase so it has good potential to be a long term investment. If the bitcoin price can reach at least $ 100k then I will look for cheap land for me to make a long term investment.

It sounds like you're imagining something quite complicated when it comes to understanding business capital and real estate, although I have no idea what country you're in right now. If you have the initiative and desire to open a business, I don't think you should have to wait until your capital becomes $100K in order to open a business. Because that amount is a very large amount, and anyone will definitely need time to collect it so you should be able to see other businesses that you can run with a small amount of capital.

And if your business can grow, it will be easier for you to raise more capital for a larger business size. Because even if you wait for the Bitcoin price to increase to $100K, you also won't have that amount of capital unless you actually have more Bitcoin in your savings wallet now. So run a business with minimal capital while investing in crypto if that is a desire that is currently in your own mind.

Yes, business requires a certain amount of capital but also does not need a large capital of up to 100k dollars. If we are really passionate about business, we can start with a moderate amount of capital. But if given the choice to business or invest in bitcoin with that limited capital, I would also choose to invest in bitcoin. Because the return from bitcoin investment will be higher than business, and profit time from bitcoin will also be faster than business. Regarding risk, both investing in bitcoin and business are risky, there is no guarantee that the business will always be smooth and profitable without risk.

We are children born into poor families and the only way to become rich is to go to school, to have knowledge, our parents were not wrong about that.
Even in this century, this statement holds true like the sun rising in the East. There is not substitute for education, gaining knowledge and a degree that is recognized professionally into something that a person has passion in. Then they should be able to work their skills and earn at the same time doing what they wanted to do.

Even youtubers have some or the other degree before they go into that "I left my job" - defenitely dont take that for granted, they set up their businesses by working not being a lazy ass, like what some people might think.

Earning money and getting rich is not easy but neither impossible if you are determined and willing.

But what's even more funny is that those losers are trying to blame education and they're comparing them to people without college degrees like Elon or Bill Gates. But they don't know that even though those billionaires don't have college degrees, they also get the best education in the world from a young age and they are born into wealthy families. If Elon and Bill Gates fail, they still have another way to restart their careers, while we have what? We have nothing and will always be a failure if we do not study and work hard.

Yes, making money and becoming rich is not an easy thing, but that doesn't mean there is no way, as long as we constantly learn, constantly strive and always try, we will achieve what we want. Nothing is impossible and everything is completely up to us.

If you ask me, I actually do not like manchester united, I just wanna throw that out. Some of their recent decision is really questionable and I defiantly can't support those, especially since they had made the nastiest thing with Cristiano Rolando situation.

But when it comes to being honest about the chances of a team winning their next match/winning a certain match, I will have to say that Manchester United does look to be a better team going against Tottenham. With the current situation that the Tottenham squad is in right now, Manchester United does look a lot stronger. And let’s also remember the fact that they will not have Harry Kane with them in the team. That is literally 40% of their strength absolutely gone. So yes, Manchester United is definitely looking to be the stronger team going into this match against Tottenham.

On the second matchday, the big match will probably be Tottenham against Manchester United, but even though it's a big match, I personally still believe Manchester United has a chance to win. Because after all, it looks like Tottenham still have to get used to their squad playing without Kane and also, several Tottenham players have suffered injuries that might not be able to play in the match against Manchester United later.

Therefore, even though Manchester United will play away, I still really believe that maybe Manchester United will be able to get full points for the second time. Also apart from that match, I am very excited to watch the match between Manchester City against Newcastle. Because as we know, last season their first meeting also ended in a draw with a score of 3-3. But at this moment, Newcastle still seems to be looking good, because Newcastle managed to win big in their first match to beat Aston Villa with a score of 5-1.

Felix is having a hard time at Atletico Madrid, I don't know if the   coach and the player are having issues because I don't see that connections between the coach and the player for him to start and he's not happy. Ever since he got back from the EPL on loan to Chelsea, he hasn't been the same player he was when he left on loan.
Now he wants the club to terminate his contract and the club don't want that but they increased his market prize to £80m, to me I feel he's not up to that amount and even if that amount is divided is a No to me, maybe he should be around £30-40m.
Is he up to that amount, £80m?
Many reports said that Diego Simeone did not like the player, Felix statement that he wanted to cross to Barcelona added to the heat of the situation. The price set by the ATM for the player is the reason for the complexity of the Portuguese striker's move. On the other hand, this is very reasonable, because Felix was bought at a high price from Benfica in 2019.

If you look at the price on Transfermarkt and compare it with its current performance on the field, it's too expensive. Agree with you 40 Million Euros is perfect for Felix now.

The transfer news of Joao Felix is definitely getting heated up. There are a lot of talking going around about him going to Barcelona. I don’t know if that is actually going to happen. After all the situation of Barcelona is not good at all financially. But at the same time, a lot of people are also talking about they are going to terminate the contract with Felix. So as a free agent,  for Barcelona, it is not going to be a problem to get him. But I don’t think Atletico Madrid is actually done. They are not going to terminate the contract. They are most probably going to sell him. I actually do not think that Barcelona can actually spend €40 million right now.

Barcelona have had financial problems at their club due to some wrong transfers. They have been going through this financial problem for a long time. They could not keep Lionel Messi in their club only because of financial problems. Barcelona released Dembele this season. They sold the French star to PSG for €50 million, Dembele's €50 million transfer is another loss transfer for them. As their transfers are going wrong one by one, they should think carefully before signing any player in the future. It would not be right to sign a new player with the full amount of money that Barcelona has at the moment, they should keep some money in reserve so that the Spanish club can get better support from that reserved money later.
but I see Barcelona's strength, despite being in financial trouble for quite a while. but they have an extraordinary ability to still compete with a rich club like Madrid. Barca got him last season, and I think this season will be even tougher but Barcelona will still be competitive.
if other clubs are facing financial problems as big as Barcelona. I'm not sure they can survive and even get the La Liga trophy.

Barcelona is still very strong in the La Liga competition because Real Madrid was not able to or did not get the players that they wanted. If Real Madrid could actually get Mbappé in the team, that was going to instantly make Real Madrid very strong in La Liga.

But Real Madrid is also facing another problem, they do have a lot of players injured in the squad. That’s why I have a feeling that this season is probably not going to be the best for Real Madrid. Seizing this opportunity, Barcelona is poised to reign victorious in La Liga once more. Barcelona probably is going to be the winner of La Liga again, but Barcelona will have to be very consistent. I think it will be better for Barcelona to concentrate on only the La Liga in the season again. In the Champions League, I don’t think Barcelona will actually be able to win. But in La Liga, they have a genuine chance.

But it's too much, we also have to be realistic in managing and enjoying life. Everything that the OP said is very true, but there are some things that must be developed within oneself and that is quite important, namely working hard to be able to apply these things and working hard to try to achieve whatever.
Capital is often a problem, but not for people who have high confidence and innovation in doing positive things.
When I was a kid, they used to tell us to go to school, come out and get a good job that is paying and we are going to have a good lifestyle but now things are changing. There are many persons that have a job but the job is not giving them comfort. The phases of life and how we are going to make it in life is gradually changing. Hard work pays before but not now. There are people that are doing hard work but they are not making it at all which is why we need to do smart work. Life I'd getting worse as a result of the inflation we are facing from the government making life hard for people to bear.

They? do you mean our parents? I don't see anything wrong with getting that advice from a parent, or I'm giving it to my child myself. There is no way to be successful other than you need to go to school and need a good education. When you graduate, you need to go to work to accumulate money and experience, and when you have those things, you need to work smarter and find ways to develop yourself by starting your own business or participating in other fields investment sector. Those things you have to think for yourself, no parent can show you every little detail in life, it's no different than you are a useless person, always relying on others. 

We are children born into poor families and the only way to become rich is to go to school, to have knowledge, our parents were not wrong about that.
