In Afghanistan vs Pakistan today 2nd ODI match, Afghanistan came out to bat first and set a target of 300 runs in 50 overs. After some time, Pakistan will come out to bat. If Pakistan wants to win this match, Pakistan team will have to perform well in batting. Pakistan team  Well done in the bowling line for which Afghanistan team could not give much target of runs. Shaheen Afridi of Pakistan team bowled 10 overs and took 2 wickets with 58 runs.
In this match Afghanistan batsmen batting amazingly set a high total of 301 runs in 50 Overs. From Afghanistan Rahmanullah Gurbaz brilliant 151 runs in 151 balls and Ibrahim Zadran scored 80 runs in 101 balls he is just 20 runs short of his well deserved century. Pakistan bowlers struggling to get wickets only Shaheen Shah Afradi picks up 2 Wickets by just giving 58 runs in 10 Overs. Now Pakistan currently scores 173 runs in loss of 2 wickets in 32 Overs. They Need 128 runs in 18 overs to win this match and Series and 8 wickets in hand. Imam ul Haq batting beautifully playing at 70 runs not out and  Muhammad Rizwan is playing at 2 not out. I think Pakistan will win this match if this Partnership is more than 50 runs.
In today's match, Afghanistan has managed to set up a good score. They are currently in a favorable position in the ongoing match but the match outcome is still uncertain because Pakistani batsmen can destructive at any moment. Moreover, the required run rate isn't excessively high either. At this time, Pakistan needs 64 runs off 38 balls, and according to the required run rate, they need about 10 runs per over. This doesn't seem too difficult since Pakistan still has 4 wickets in hand. Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed both trying to make good partnership, if Afghanistan can pick up them early then good things will be in store for them in this match.
Congratulations to Pakistan for winning 2nd ODI by 1 wicket What a nail biting match Pakistan hold their nerve in the final 50th over and won this match and series 2-0 lead in the ODI series against Afghanistan. The match of the match is Shabad Khan for his match winning inning 48 runs in 35 balls with 3 Fours and 1 Six. Pakistan team chased down the 302 target in 49.5 overs with loss of 9 wickets. Imam ul Haq had a brilliant batting performance of 91 runs in 105 balls Unfortunately he missed his well deserved century by just 9 runs short Babar Azam also scored fifty. The man of the moment is Naseem Shah 10 runs unbeaten in just 5 balls and scored winning runs to make a lead of 2-0 in the Series.

Pakistan team confirmed the series win by winning the first two matches. I saw the first match we were completely one sided. Afghanistan lost all their wickets for just 59 runs. Afghanistan conceded a humiliating defeat.
In the second match, Afghanistan's two openers batted brilliantly. Afghanistan's collection from the opening pair was 227 runs. Afghanistan set a target of 301 runs. Even then, the team's chances of winning were slim. The performance of Pakistan's top order was good enough. But the performance of Pakistan's middle order players was poor. So I thought maybe Pakistan is going to be defeated. But Shadab Khan's brilliant batting helped Pakistan to win the match. But the match was very competitive and exciting.

Pakistan looks to be in a very comfortable position, as they have reached 146/1 in just 26 overs. Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq are batting very smoothly and the Afghan bowlers are getting frustrated. I am a bit perplexed with today's play. This is the same ground (Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium) where Pakistan got bowled out for a total of 201, and Afghanistan got bowled out for 59. So what suddenly changed for today's match, that made this ground a batsmen's paradise? Afghan spinners are looking quite ordinary out there.
Pakistan is far behind in terms of run rate compared to Afghanistan. Because I mean the wickets fell in the power play but Afghanistan were very careful about the wickets falling. Today's field is in favor of the batsmen because everyone is able to collect runs. Pakistan is likely to win this match today because the two batsmen present in the field so far Imam UL Haque and Babar azam are the two best batsmen of the Pakistani team. And if it can collect some more nights then it is definitely more likely to win. It is certain that Pakistan will have to be careful on the wicket side if they want to win.

After 31 overs, Pakistan's total is 172/2. Opener Fakhar Zaman was dismissed with 30 runs and captain Babar Azam was dismissed with 53 runs. Imam Ul Haque is still unbeaten with 70 runs. He is batting very carefully. Slowly progressing towards the century, at the same time leading the team towards victory.

Pakistan need 129 runs in 19 overs. Is it too difficult a task? I don't think so. Because the Afghanistan players collected 143 runs in the last 19 overs. That's why I don't think Pakistan will have a problem winning this match. Experienced players like Rizwan and Imam ul Haque are still at the crease. If the Pakistan team does not lose several wickets at once, then Pakistan will win easily.

Even though it seems that Galatasaray is quite interested and or favored to win in some of the existing predictions but in reality, at this moment the available odds do not show that Galatasaray is projected to win. Maybe, because this is the first leg and also, Galatasaray will play away. It looks like that also affects Galatasaray not being the favorite to win in this match. After all, Molde isn't really weak at all, so yes, it's only natural that Galatasaray might not be able to win easily in this match, and maybe the end result will be a draw.
Galatasaray team is my favorite in today's match. However, Molde is not a weak team. And more importantly today's match is Molde's home match. All teams are strong in home matches. And so even though Galatasaray is a strong team, it will not be easy for Galatasaray to win against Molde today.

Martin's goal gave Molde the lead in just 8 minutes. And Molde is playing very attacking strategy. Galatasaray, on the other hand, have been playing defensively since the start of the match, yet they have conceded a goal. Monde managed to make 6 shots in 25 minutes. On the other hand, Galatasaray has not been able to make a single shot yet. I bet for Galatasaray. However, Galatasaray does not seem to be able to win if they perform like this.
Looks like you won't lose money. There is no doubt that the team at Galatasaray is strong. Molde played attacking strategy from the beginning of the match. And Galatasaray didn't attack too much. But after 20 minutes this team started attacking. Sergio Oliiveira's goal in the 25th minute equalized the match for Galatasaray and Icardi's goal in the 29th minute gave Galatasaray a 2-1 lead. In the 30th minute, Galatasaray had only 2 shots, two on target and Galatasaray managed to score from both. This team is experienced enough. Molde should have kept the defense tight and then attacked. However, Molde still played attacking tactics. And so there is a possibility of seeing many more goals in this match. We saw three goals in just 30 minutes.

The first half was very exciting. I bet Galatasaray to win. However, seeing their performance at the start of the match, I doubted whether they would win. Because Molde's players started well. And Amatra went ahead with a goal in 8 minutes. Galatasaray, on the other hand, were busy keeping their defense tight. This group did not attack much in the beginning. Then Galatasaray suddenly started to attack. Attacking Icardi, Akgun and Oliveira are playing well today. Galatasaray managed to take a 2-1 lead at the end of the first half. Yunus Akgun scored a goal in the 44th minute but the goal was disallowed. Still nothing to worry about. Galatasaray are able to dominate the match. molde can't score any more goals despite attacking a lot.


Braga vs Panathinaikos match scoreless in the first half. My favorite was Braga. Performance of both the teams is quite stable. And so it is difficult to predict which team will win today. The match is more likely to be a draw.

Zion definitely doesn't look "scary" to me at all. He is still overweight and he can play however he wants while he plays, and he could be a good player when he plays but it has been years and he still hasn't played a single decent season, he keeps getting injured time and time after again.
He is indeed scary mate, and he will be more destructive if he can last that long every season, I bet teams that they are up against will really have a hard time specially in the off season because I know that with him in the roster healthy, they can reach much further compared to what they had done each and every season that he got a season-ending injury.
But he would not last that long and that's the argument why he doesn't look scary. The teams that usually compete for the playoff spot wouldn't be scared or worry too much about the Pelicans since they know Zion won't be playing on a regular basis.

Zion definitely needs to cut a little weight. The fat percentage of his body is definitely a little higher. And I also agree that he should perform better if he actually wants to get known as a great player. Don’t get me wrong he’s not bad. But he definitely is not someone who has actually unlocked the full potential of himself. Injuries have also been a problem for him. Being injured and not being able to perform as well as he should, has definitely got the spotlight away from him for sure. Even recently he was out because of a hamstring injury if I’m not wrong. And these injuries are definitely not some minor injuries that you can come back from after 1/2 weeks. These injuries need months to heal.

Only a few minutes left for this game and it seems it's still not late to bet on Glasgow Rangers for the much better rate they have however the rate for a draw is very high and we should hope for a miracle.
I think the game will be finished with the 2-2 results we can see and the chance for a draw is high enough.


Why did you think the Rangers bet was worth it? Just because of odds? I would never bet on them in this situation for two reasons: PSV controlled the ball + they already had a satisfactory result in their pocket, a draw away is good. The second reason is that the Rangers played number two - it's one thing to wait for the winning goal from the defending team throughout the game, and another when there are 10 minutes left to the end. As for the return game, I think PSV should win easily.

I guess PSV will qualify for the next round. I saw some parts of the match. PSV's players performed better than the Rangers. Rangers kept their defense strong in this match. Played defensively. They have played such a defensive game only in home matches. I think their performance will deteriorate further in away matches. I think PSV will perform better in the home match. Today's match was a draw but the match was dominated by PSV players. Although Rangers managed to score two goals, Rangers players did not have much influence in the match. So I'll bet PSv to win the second leg. I hope the team will not let me down.

This should be the case, but what must be remembered is that the Premier League has fierce competition for every team, I think even though Luton is a promotion team, they cannot be underestimated, especially since the Chelsea team has not found its best performance so far.
If you look at the quality of the team, this is indeed the right time for Chelsea to be able to revive the team's mentality by winning the first win after the first 2 Premier League matches without a win, but I still think that this match will be fierce and will not be easy for Chelsea.
Chelsea is an elite club with outstanding performance, but they're probably not making any significant move to earn a winning points this season. Two games for blues, a draw and a lost, but Luton Town can be an exceptional turnaround for the blued. The hatters boss, Rob Edwards will reinforce his team and we shouldn't underestimate them become it's definitely going to rule out plans for Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino should ensure he grabbed three points from his opponents in next game. Luton Town is the new promoted side in EPL and everyone points at them to make good results because they're competitive in league games but unfortunately, they're yet to make that impression.

Coach Pochettino will be under a lot of pressure if Chelsea fail to get full points against Luton. The opponent was strong in the first match. So a 1-1 draw with Liverpool is not considered a bad result. But in the last match, Chelsea lost against West Ham by 3-1. I don't like the performance of Chelsea players. Chelsea conceded 3 goals despite having 76% of the match. Chelsea tried to dominate the match. They also kept the ball in their possession. However, they could not resist West Ham's attacks. Chelsea's defense is weak. Poch definitely needs to work more on his defense. If the defense is not strengthened, we will not see this team at the top of the points table.

Pakistan seems to be in trouble and so far Afghanistan has got an excellent start. Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman are back in the pavilion, with Fazalhaq Farooqi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman taking one wicket each. And I don't understand the decision from Pakistan captain. They should have gone with bowling first. Because Afghan batting is in very poor state, while their bowling is still pretty decent. Pakistan made a mistake by going for batting first and as a result they are in big trouble. Now let's see whether Imam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Rizwan will be able to make a difference.

Pakistan lost the wickets of Babar and Fakhar Zaman in the first two overs. I had high expectations from Babar. But he couldn't collect any runs today. Even then, I thought the pair of Rizwan and Imam might be tall. But Rizwan returned to the dressing room after collecting only 21 runs. Pakistan collect 46/3 in 10 overs. I don't think Pakistan will make such a bad start. Pakistan's top order players needed to bat more responsibly. Afghanistan bowlers are strong enough. After winning the toss and deciding to bat, Pakistan's poor batting was not at all expected. Pakistan don't seem to have any chance in this match if they give a target below 200. Let's see how Agha Salman and imam Ul Haque, who are now at the crease, bat.

 Pavard really wants to move to England and had already agreed terms with Manchester United but they refusal on Maguire to move to another club have made it tough for Manchester united to get another player into the squad, he’s a very versatile player and would be very beneficial to the backline of United but according to the news he might likely move over to Intermilan since an agreement has been reach with Bayern Munich and Manchester United are not showing an serious Interest but just talks of getting him
 The thing is that Pavard is a proven player and would make a fine addition to any team he moves to he's solid good with the ball is a very versatile defensive player therefore Intermilan would be very glad to meet up with Bayern Munich’s demand and include such a fine player to their squad and blustering the defense line is one thing all top teams need to do if they want to have a proper challenge this season.

But there were also news that Bayern Munich will only let him go if they can find a player who can properly replace him. But I think that won't be easy at this time during the season. A player who can instantly perform on the highest level and is highly reliable is usually not on the list of players that other clubs would like to get rid off. This would be a costly transfer for them most likely.

But I understand that Bayern Munich is trying to find out what is best for them as well as Pavard's contract expires next Summer and if they can still get a transfer fee for him, then now is the time to sell him. I don't know if they had any failed negotiations about a new contract and higher salary? If there were any negotiations, I seem to have missed them.

Benjamin Pavard is definitely a good player. I genuinely do not understand why Manchester United is so interested in keeping Harry Maguire in the squad. Have they not suffered enough because of him? This is the same coach who actually forced  Cristiano Ronaldo out of Manchester United by the way.

I just do not understand how he can literally not play Cristiano Ronaldo and warm the bench with him when Cristiano Ronaldo actually carried the whole Manchester United team on his back. and at the same time keep Harry Maguire in the team even after making so many mistakes and literally forgetting how to defend. I thought finally Manchester United is going to get rid of Harry Maguire. But the coach still thinks that he is “important” somehow. I also believe that Bayern Munich is definitely not going to let him go and less they actually find a good replacement as they said.

Holy shit, Sean O'Malley knocked out Aljamain Sterling which i was not expecting the fight to be this easy for Malley and i was picking Aljamain Sterling to win Cry. Picture perfect right hand to his face and Aljamain Sterling fell flat on the ground and he finished the fight.

O'Malley made it look way too easy. He also managed to escape a takedown attempt quite effortlessly, which is something. It seemed like Sterling got a little bit too cocky by connecting with the left jab and got careless and rushed too hard. He didn't do his homework as everybody knows O'Malley is a great counter striker.
I wish I had taken my own advice and put money on Sean, he was definitely underrated by bookies in this one and in his fight against Yan, but I think it's fair to say he passed his test and deserves more respect.

Yep some are quick to say it's an early stoppage but definitely see Aljo not going to last with the coming fist pound. The ref had to step in or it will be humiliating to see Aljo flat on the ground.

It's quite coincident when he talked about how Aldo Jose hastily going for Conor was a mistake but that mistake also resembles what he did. He took time though but it was also an accurate counter that brought him down.


This definitely portrays that you should not talk shit about someone. Karma is a bitch. You never know when the same thing will happen to you. And it might not exactly look the same. But it is definitely a counter that brought him down.

Sean O’Malley definitely made it look easy. I did not think that the fight was going to end early in the second round. And I also definitely think that it was not a bad stoppage by the referee. Sterling definitely was going to get some free hammer fists on his face if the fight was not stopped. Great fight from Sean O’Malley. And great finish as well.

All right, so here is the reason why Devin and his dad wanted to move the fight date earlier. For me, it makes sense to move the date otherwise they will go head-to-head against Tyson Fury's fight against Francis Ngannou. I mean this fight is the better match-up but most likely only for the boxing hard cores. But it is still a bitch move not consulting Regis Prograis especially since he is the defending champion. They can move the fight to a later date like a week or 2 after the Fury-Ngannou and not before that.




The Tyson Fury fight is in the early afternoon so there really shouldn't be a scheduling conflict. We often see that when there is a big fight in Europe or the Middle East, promoters will still schedule events for later in the day in the United States. It would only be an issue if they also want to make Haney vs. Prograis a pay-per-view fight because people wouldn't want to spend on two different fights in the same day. Neither of these guys is popular enough for this fight to be worthy of being pay-per-view. Haney is just being a diva for whatever reason.

I actually understand why they wanted to move the date. But I think that is not actually necessary to be honest. I believe the Haney fight is going to be a good one anyway. And there is no reason for him to make such a fuss about changing the date.

Obviously, people are going to want to see the other fight. Tyson Fury versus Francis, those two are definitely much more popular. And also will be able to bring in a huge amount of money. Because we got the interest of two worlds, two sets of fans, in this fight.

Westham went home with three pints. Watching from first half, Chelsea dominated full time but having no single pattern to net a goal. They kept on trying crossing which is not working, and Mudryk running like flash and not having proper footing on the ball. I don't know who to blame in the game. There are many blunders in the backlines and Chelsea not having a proper finisher. Chelsea player handicapped hammers but still failed to level the game, instead the blues conceded another goal to make it 3-1. In the meantime, the fans are not satisfied with the club's results in these two games.

West Ham deserve it. They can't create many attacking opportunities throughout the match. Chelsea tried to control the match. West Ham had very few attacking opportunities. But every West Ham attack was sharp. Chelsea's defense failed to counter West Ham's counter attacks. Pochettino needs to tighten up his defense or change his match tactics. In this match strategy they lost points in both matches. I had high expectations from this Chelsea team this season. We have seen Chesley's poor defense in friendly matches as well. And coach Pochettino has yet to fix it. Chelsea will play a home match against Luton in the next match. Maybe they will get full points in this match.

West Ham   :   Chelsea

I am enjoying the Chelsea vs West Ham match. Chelsea performed very well against Liverpool. Although they could not win the match. But their overall gameplay was fantastic. So in today's match I considered Chelsea as the favorite. But Chelsea conceded a goal in just 7 minutes. They were not able to make a single shot in 20 minutes. Chelsea's performance in today's match seems a bit slow.

West Ham are stronger at home. West Ham players are very confident today. Chelsea is giving more importance to ball possession today. On the other hand, despite having only 30% of the ball possession, managed to make several excellent attacks. If Chelsea want to win today's match, they need to increase their attacking speed. It is difficult to win Premier League matches by playing ball possession tactics.
854  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it worth it to teach older people about bitcoin technology? on: August 20, 2023, 02:26:41 AM
I think older people should be involved with bitcoin especially those who have savings or their money for retirement, and even though it's not easy to do because they also need to be knowledgeable about bitcoin and its future. But at least we try to do it for our own parents, because we as children already know and understand that bitcoin is very good for our parents because it is profitable, especially in the long term.
and I suggest you do this for the peace of our parents and also for us as children so that our parents don't bother us too much about financial problems in the future.
there is no need to suggest other parents if we still have parents, because our parents already know that we are involved with bitcoin and see our changes because that is an example that will make it easier for them to believe.

I am not against introducing bitcoin and encouraging our parents to invest in bitcoin because it is truly the best asset we have. But the biggest barrier for parents or elders is time. I mean to be able to profit from bitcoin, we need to hold for many years or more, and for older adults can they wait that long? Moreover, the elderly are the time when they need to rest and enjoy life, not the time to rush to earn more money. So we still recommend Bitcoin to them but don't force them but let them decide for themselves, and we should respect their decision.
855  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin Instead of Gold? on: August 20, 2023, 02:18:39 AM
The answer to a debate that is constantly discussed on social media accounts and news outlets may open doors to different answers for everyone. So, Why Bitcoin Instead of Gold for you?

If this topic has been discussed before, I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me.

For me, I chose Bitcoin because of its portability.  It can be easily transferred and does not need a third-party institution for Bitcoin transactions.  Even though gold has been circulating for too long, the age of technology isn't stuck with ancient technology.  So as technology changes, there is a compatible technology that will make access, transaction, buying, and selling more convenient for traders and investors.
Very few prefer bitcoin for the mentioned reason. Majority of us were upon the profitability. Just think of the growth bitcoin have achieved through the years. In reality most of the users who were part of bitcoin doesn't know the technology or the goodness behind it, just focusing on the profit they have made their entry into bitcoin. Even now the people who had made good profit out of gold investment never switch to bitcoin or something else considering the risks.


You have a point there. When talking or in discussions between gold and bitcoin, people will always compare their features and say that they will choose bitcoin because of its superior features. But in the end, they choose bitcoin because of the profit it brings, very few people will select bitcoin because of its features. If bitcoin suddenly becomes as stable as gold, I bet they will turn around saying good things about gold and start looking for the downsides of bitcoin. That's what's happening, but very few people want to discuss it. I also chose bitcoin over gold and my reason is that bitcoin returns better than gold, no second reason.

I cannot agree with you. The team had to fight hard to win against Sevilla. I know the Manchester City squad is very strong and experienced. But the problem is that it is still uncertain whether Bernardo Silva and De Bruyne will play in this match. And without these two players, Manchester City's midfield is weak. If the midfield is weak, City's attacking performance will also be weak.

Sevilla played a defensive strategy. So the team was able to score only 1 goal in 120 minutes. As far as I can tell, Newcastle usually plays defensively against bigger teams. That's what we saw last season. And if Newcastle plays defensively it won't be easy for City to score. Newcastle are also very quick on the counter-attack. We got proof of this in the match against Aston Villa. So it would be foolish to think that Manchester City will win easily today.
I don't doubt the depth of the squad that Man City has, even though they are dealing with injuries to Kevin De Bruyne, Silva and Stones. Their backup players also have almost the same quality, although not at the same level. Playing at home will give a plus, Pep Guardiola's squad will get the full support of their fans.

Newcastle is indeed on fire, Tonali beat Aston Villa with a promising score. But I think this game will end in a draw, 1-1 could be possible.

you are right As two very important players will not be in the squad. So it is natural that Manchester City's performance will be somewhat unstable. On the other hand I have no doubts about the ability of any Newcastle team. Newcastle are a great team. And like the performance they showed in the first match, this team has the ability to beat the big teams. Aston Villa were not weak opponents. Even then, Newcastle players managed to score 5 goals against this team.

A big part of Manchester City's performance today will depend on Haaland's performance. If Haaland plays well, Manchester City's chances of winning will increase, and if Haaland doesn't play well, City has the possibility of losing points. I guess today's match will end 1-1.

Quote from: zuzie
the match between manchester city against newcastle united in my opinion is a very interesting match, this is the time for manchester city's chance to win who previously got 3 points against the sevilla team.
However, recently I saw that Newcastle is playing very confidently to be in the top four this season with a very strong defense.
I don't think Newcastle united has the strength to stop Manchester city not to achieve three points from this match, because the new strategies they displayed in their first match to defeated their opponent 3-0 showed that Manchester city will defeat Newcastle united 1-0 to improve their points. The reason why Manchester city struggle to achieved that victory from Sevilla, is because some of their players was experiencing injuries that made that match tough for Manchester city to win easily, but they are very ready to make things work for their favour in this second match in the premier league competition. Newcastle united is among the strong teams in the premier league because they have potential players and their coach know how to use the right players to make the match difficult for their opponent which he will definitely apply that strategy in this match.

I cannot agree with you. The team had to fight hard to win against Sevilla. I know the Manchester City squad is very strong and experienced. But the problem is that it is still uncertain whether Bernardo Silva and De Bruyne will play in this match. And without these two players, Manchester City's midfield is weak. If the midfield is weak, City's attacking performance will also be weak.

Sevilla played a defensive strategy. So the team was able to score only 1 goal in 120 minutes. As far as I can tell, Newcastle usually plays defensively against bigger teams. That's what we saw last season. And if Newcastle plays defensively it won't be easy for City to score. Newcastle are also very quick on the counter-attack. We got proof of this in the match against Aston Villa. So it would be foolish to think that Manchester City will win easily today.

Today is another bad record because the price has dropped by more than 7%, the price is getting farther away from the bull run and it doesn't seem like it will happen this year, bitcoin's volatility is still high, so we must always be vigilant, I use coinbase which gives a warning if there is a price fluctuation high of more than 5% in a day, but we shouldn't panic in facing dump situations like today.

It is bad news to people who are planning on selling their Bitcoin holdings but for those who wanted to accumulate, the Bitcoin dump is a very good news to them.  Here is some of the reason:

1. We all know that Bitcoin is highly volatile so there is a huge possibility that recovery will happen anytime.
2. Those who wanted to buy can buy BTC at a discount.  This is also good for DCA.
3. Bitcoin trend is not always downward, once the Bitcoin bull run kick in, those who buy Bitcoin during a dump like this will have a higher profit when Bitcoin starts its record-breaking ATH event.

I don't think it's bad news because before bitcoin was dumped, many people said they wanted bitcoin to fall back to be bought cheaply and finally their wish came true. So I think they were very happy when what they expected happened. But I doubt they will buy bitcoin, or will they be scared and not dare to buy when they see bitcoin falling so fast?

I remember in 2022 when bitcoin dropped to $30k due to Luna crash, and then many expected bitcoin to drop even more to be bought cheaply. And eventually, FTX brought bitcoin down to $15k, but not many people bought in because they were scared and no longer saw it as an opportunity. Many people say they will buy bitcoin, but I really doubt it because there are still many predictions of bitcoin going deeper, which proves that people are more scared than excited to buy.

Here we go again.
Elon Musk reportedly sold more than 370 million in BTC, causing Bitcoin's price to drop by nearly 15%. It seems like everything he does has an impact. I find it hard to believe that he did this.

Elon Musk didn’t sold now but rather the recent news stated that his company total Bitcoin last 2021 is worth 370M in Bitcoin that they already sold but there’s no exact info on when and where. Elon holdings probably sold during the previous dip to 16k because the price will dip more than this current price if Elon sold now because of the very bearish signal on the chart.

This dip is inevitable since Bitcoin can’t break its 30k resistance for a long time. Probably those who fomo buy before already secure profit since the price is not moving any further upwards.

At first, I had my doubts about this post, but now it become clear to me. I should have done more research before sharing my thoughts, but somehow misguided. There's so much false information out there, and it's really challenging to find accurate details. Thank you once again, and I value the effort you put here.

Yes, Bitcoin 30k resistance has taken for quite a while, and this kind of price movement is to be expected.

Not only you, but many people when seeing bitcoin being dumped have rushed to find out the reason, and this news is causing many misunderstandings. I feel that someone is trying to manipulate the market and they are giving false news to manipulate us. All information given out should be studied and analyzed carefully, do not rush to believe it is true and then spread it to others, do not fall into the trap of market makers. Many people still haven't realized this news is fake and they even criticized Elon for selling bitcoin at this point.

It looks like Real Madrid really won't be signing anyone for the centre-forward area. Because no striker is speculated with them now. But I still think that they aren't doing the right thing by that. Because the Champions League and La Liga titles must be both targets for them.
However I don't know whether they can make it to at least one of them this season without such transfer. Benzema's contribution so far has been really at a serious level. Now Rodrygo and Joselu are going to have big responsibilities.

I guess that especially Rodrygo would be Ancelotti's first option for the position.
I also don't get many rumors about a centre-forward other than just Kylian Mbappe. Harry Kane was rumored to be going to Real Madrid, but he chose Bayern Munich as his newest team. While some other centre-forwards are overvalued like Osimhen, but Real Madrid may be able to approach Tottenham for Richarlison.
Compared to Joselu, I think Richarlison is the better striker for Real Madrid at the moment. It is true that Richarlison has not shown his best qualities with Tottenham, but he seems to have a good future under a coach as highly experienced as Ancelotti.
Richarlison will never perform like Benzema. I personally don't like his game Mbappe is perfect for Real Madrid, since Mbappe is not coming this season, adding someone else is very necessary.

Richarlison !!!!Why Richarlison ?!!

We have seen better performances from Richarlison in the Brazil squad. He scored a great goal in the World Cup. I thought he would probably be able to do well in the Premier League after a performance like that. But his last season with Tottenham was abysmal. He appeared in 27 matches with Tottenham. But the interesting thing is that he scored only one goal and assisted one in the entire season. I don't think such a player is suitable for the attack of an experienced team like Madrid. Madrid desperately needs an experienced striker.
