Another factor can be based on the increase in price of goods and services in a country, whereby the persons salary no longer meets the requirements of the things that is needed to sustain one's self. I think that have enough effect to alter one's DCAing in accumulating Bitcoin
IMO when you say the actual salary factor it doesn't change any views on the DCA issue.
Indeed, now we are in a really difficult condition and sometimes the income we have is very sufficient with expenses that are getting more and more expensive, but when we understand and can manage those needs well, investing and doing DCA will not be hampered by that because we can adjust the budget we have from the income in a month for daily needs including unexpected needs and to be in investment.
I think we already understand and can be flexible with something like this because of course the initial concept should start when thinking that this investment is only a portion or a few per cent of what we collect from the monthly salary.

I really appreciated how Leverkusen resisted Bayern Munich today. Their performance was so impressive in Allianz Arena that "resisting" might not be the right word to define what they did actually. They balanced the game quite nicely. Even though Bayern Munich got ahead two times they still managed to equalize every time and got that one point.

I think this is a good result for Leverkusen while it isn't for the home side. Kane was really decent again by scoring a goal. But no matter how much they tried they couldn't manage to beat Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen even in a home game.
It was a match worth watching and indeed as some have said on previous pages Leverkusen still had a chance to take a point with the odds stacked against them.
To be honest I didn't see the end because after extra time I turned off the television thinking Bayern would get the 3 points but Palacios' penalty at 90+4 meant Bayern had to share the spoils.
Bayern didn't play badly and Leverkusen could also match the performance Bayern showed because statistically even though Bayern were slightly ahead in possession and chances but I still feel it was balanced and this 1 point is worthy of Leverkusen.

Maybe PSG is going to lose today. This will be PSG's first defeat of the season. The PSG team is now trailing by 3-1. 85 minutes of play is over. At the end of the first half, the match was tied at 1-1. Expected to see a better performance from PSG in the second half. But their performance was poorer in the second half. PSG now have 68% ball possession. But they are attacking very little. Despite having 68% of the ball possession, PSG managed only 11 shots, while firing 12 shots. While PSG only had 2 shots on target, Nice had 7 shots on target. However, Luis Enrique should change his match strategy. and strengthening defenses. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for PSG to stay at the top of the points table.
In the end it was true that PSG lost this match even though Mbappe again reduced the score in 3 minutes before normal time ended but it was unable to bring PSG to get points at their home in today's match.
Their possession and chances were so lame with on target.
On the other hand, I really liked Nice's performance in this match because they really played very well in terms of defense and the fast counter-attacking scheme they applied was really very worthy of thumbs up and these 3 points deserved them.

But the problem for PSG if things like this continue to happen. The fact is that PSG is only a Mbappe who stands out even though there are many great players there and the current coach still needs to improve because of PSG's current performance.

Looking at what you said at the beginning of the sentence and at the end, I actually think it has a contradiction.
You say having a strategy and not rushing is a must-have but on the other hand you want to try first by investing $100 every time you have a salary and dividing it into several months.
Honestly, I don't really understand your current strategy whether you want to try to do DCA or lum slump like my discussion with @Baby Shoes before.
I don't consider it a mistake but I think you should start trying to be clearer in your investment scheme especially if the goal is DCA.

I don't really disagree with anything that you are saying Ryu_Ar1.. but it just seems that you might be suggesting that there are ways to really be active in DCA beyond merely just figuring out how much for each period and applying it..

Accordingly, I would suggest that anyone who is trying to strategize with buying on dips for part of his/her income that is allocated to buy BTC is not engaging in pure DCA, and there really is nothing wrong with supplementing a DCA strategy with some variation of buying on dip.

Remember a pure DCA would strictly be looking at how much income you have coming in and what are your expenses (including making sure that your emergency fund is covered), and then whatever that is left over would be used to buy BTC, so the weekly, monthly or twice a month amount may well differ depending upon variation of cashflow and variation of expenses. 

Now if a conscious choice is made to ONLY spend part of what is left on buying BTC right away, and the other portion is used for buying on dips, then there is no longer a strict DCA practice going on, and there is nothing wrong with deviating from a strict DCA as long as you realize that part of what you are doing is DCA and the other part is attempting to strategize to buy on dips.

So I think that part of my point is that anyone who is trying to strategize in regards to his/her DCA is applying some kind of a variation of DCA.. and there is really nothing wrong with that.
I might be a little bit defensive in this case for the sentence that you thickened in my previous opinion.
What I mean by it doesn't matter in this case because I don't really care what other people do about how they do the strategies they do because it won't hurt me and it's up to them whether to do what they do whether it's about DCA or buying with momentum utilization by spending their money / buying on a large scale when they want to.
The point is the suggestion where I suggest to do DCA and indeed I also still do not fully know more and understand well about some sub DCA that is pure or there are some other variables as you said but what I realize with DCA it will make us more comfortable in making investments because as we have discussed in the previous few pages, with DCA we are not too worried that the budget from DCA interferes with other needs of our expenses in one month because we have prepared and budgeted for it from the beginning when we know the income we receive.
Of course maybe when I understand more about DCA I might also do something like what you said by adding variables to DCA itself but for now I will only focus on DCA which might be pure if I look at what I do and the definition of pure DCA itself.

I still agree with what you said in the point where we invest only to spend part of what is left to buy BTC immediately it will be very risky for our needs in everyday life because we also still have to be charged with needs and all the necessities for us so we don't have to force it all in because this is used for the long term. Do not let you think about the long term that is too far away but do not think about life for tomorrow so that being aggressive is not really recommended especially when there is already a DCA strategy that we run as long as if other people still do that I don't really care because I don't really care the most important thing is that I do according to what I believe that when DCA is not really recommended to do other strategies so that the results are maximized but maybe you can still add variations or other variables to the DCA section as you said.

The statistics of their last 3 meetings Inter have the upper hand as all three have been won by Inter but in this case the biggest score is 2-0 so I agree with what you say where this match will not have a big enough goal difference especially if you see the performance of both teams at the beginning of this season.
Two goals at the most but I'm not sure about that because it could be a narrow win for either club and it could even be a draw.
The odds are quite attractive but looking at the h2h advantage and Inter playing

Yes I remember those games as well but the two games in the Champions League were very unfortunate for AC Milan as they lost Leao right before the game and he was the player who made a massive difference for their game last season. The whole attacking game was on a different level when Leao palyed. They then conceded two very quick goals in the first leg and in the second leg it is as good as it could possibly go for Inter when they play with a two goal advantage. Because they know better than many other teams to play their advantages very strategically and avoid giving the opponent a chance to come back into the game. But this upcoming game is different.
True, but that is now over and indeed in those 2 matches losing some great pillars was obviously detrimental for both teams. But for now the conditions are different, both clubs are on a positive path and their players are currently not having problems and can appear in this derby and of course it will be quite interesting.
btw the current odds are also quite good and I think it's worth betting on because looking at the conditions of both and looking at the odds Inter are still favourites but in the last few statements said that Inter will also not say that they are favoured because they must be aware that when something like that becomes a benchmark they could get the opposite result which could be detrimental.




I must admit that at the moment, between the two, the favorite is definitely Inter Milan.
Milan have undergone a sort of negative transformation and are still searching for themselves, while Inter have reached the Champions League final, so there must be something positive.
I bet on Inter to win.
My discussion above also alludes to this.
Inter are the bookmakers' favourites because apart from the h2h stats, they are also the home favourites but they don't seem to want to get carried away with this because even though they are the bookmakers' favourites they are also aware that if they think this will work in their favour they will lose. I think this is a good move from Inter as they are not underestimating the prestige of this match now only then can they play freely and can perform their best but as for the result I still believe one of them if they win it will only be a narrow win.

    • So, in my country cryptocurrency is not banned but its transaction with banks is banned.
    The conditions are almost the same as in my country Indonesia at the moment because looking at the crypto developments that are happening in my country, it actually shows a positive indication for my country, especially with bitcoin because some time ago at the bitcoin conference Miami there was even one of our governor representatives who spoke there and wanted a renewal by creating a massive mining adoption in our country today.
    But on the other hand, it is a commodity and here we still have regulations that the circulation of bitcoin and other assets in crypto is only as a material for investment and a commodity not for means of payment. I still feel that the government's intention to date is quite positive, even though there is no legal payment option for bitcoin but by accepting them and welcoming them now is enough to increase adoption in the country I live in.
    867  Local / Ekonomi, Politik, dan Budaya / Re: Apakah boleh mengunakan agama untuk politik di Indonesia ? on: September 14, 2023, 12:52:19 PM
    Pembahasan ini mungkin akan sedikit menyatu dengan pembahasan yang dibuat mas @bitLeap dengan judul Politik Saling Serang/Politik Indentitas karena melihat judul dan maksud pasti ada hal-hal yang berkaitan dan berkesinambungan.

    Sebenarnya saya tidak terlalu mengerti tentang masalah ke agamaan dan politik karena dalam hal ini saya berdiri sebagai orang awam yang memang hanya memakai pemikiran sesuai dengan sudut pandang yang saya miliki.
    Saat ini, pasti akan ada banyak orang yang pro dan kontra terhadap agama yang memang dipakai untuk politik dan sebenarnya agama dan politik untuk Indonesia menurut saya ini adalah pembahasan yang tidak akan pernah usai dan selalu menjadi sesuatu yang vital yang tidak bisa dituntaskan.
    Dari dulu, agama dan politik seperti menjadi momok dan memang tidak salah juga untuk mengaitkan agama dan politik karena jika kita berkaca dari sejarah Indonesia, sebenarnya partai-partai yang mengusung tentang keagamaan dari dulu sudah ada seperti di era kemerdekaan ada beberapa partai seperti Partai Katolik, Parkindo atau bahkan Masyumi.
    Saat ini masih ada beberapa partai yang memang masih mengusung agama sebagai pondasi walaupun didalamnya saya tidak tahu seperti apa tetapi untuk saat ini PKB, PPP dan PKS masih menjadi salah satu partai yang "katanya" berlandaskan kepada agama.
    Saya pribadi tidak terlalu memiliki pandangan tentang hal ini dan masalah boleh atau tidak saya rasa ini juga masih cukup di sahkan karena Politik dan Agama harus tetap beriringan bagaimanapun caranya karena tetap sekalipun kita hidup berpartai tetapi agama adalah salah satu landasan yang memang harus di taati dan dijadikan pedoman terlebih kita juga sebagai masyarakat indonesia yang beragama sudah tahu bahwa ketika ada pengangkatan dan lain-lain selalu ada sumpah dengan kitab suci sebagai jaminan walaupun banyak oknum yang mengingkari hal itu karena mereka lalai dalam sumpah mereka tetapi itu urusan mereka dan tuhannya. hanya saja untuk politik dan agama tetap harus beriringan antara satu dan lainnya.

    Yang menjadi masalah adalah ketika kita berdiri di suatu agama terkadang ada saja yang tidak memiliki sifat toleransi yang membuat seolah-olah adanya agama justru membatasi kita dari pilihan yang ingin kita lakukan padahal saya pikir hal ini bukan tentang masalah agama tetapi pandangan kita lah yang masih sempit karena pada dasarnya agama bukan untuk memecah belah tetapi untuk menyatukan.

    Saya tidak terlalu sepakat dengan mereka yang mengatasnamakan agama sebagai salah satu acuan untuk dukungan seseorang karena ini jelas menjadi politisasi agama dan dalam hal inilah pandangan kita harus lebih diperluas dimana agama sudah pasti menjadi salah satu bagian dari politik dan kedudukannya jelas untuk legimitasi bukan politisasi. Ketika kita sudah menyadari hal itu maka saya rasa ini akan pas dari segi tujuan karena agama dan politik bisa beriringan antara satu sama lain.

    Everton was able to beat the Arsenal team last season because the relegation zone was on their side if they failed to win against the Arsenal team. They played with all their might in that match which led to their victory. This came as a surprise to everyone because nobody believed Everton would put up such a fight against Arsenal which was topping the premier league table as of then.
    In this upcoming match between Everton and Arsenal. Arsenal wouldn't take Everton lightly. They would play against them with complete annoyance to win them because they were among the clubs that made them lose their aim of lifting the premier league title last season. I expect a win from Arsenal, not a draw


    But Everton's narrow 1 goal win was immediately repaid with 4 goals without reply in their second match so I don't think something like this will make a difference as the stats and h2h still favour Arsenal in the end.
    Everton's condition every season is always the same for now, they are difficult to be able to win games and have to work hard to keep themselves from entering the relegation zone and in this match I think the conditions will remain the same where they will only play with a defensive scheme against Arsenal even though they play home because it is difficult for them to keep up with Arsenal's current game.
    Although there is a possibility for a quick counter-attack but I don't feel this will be good enough if only relying on this for Everton which makes me confident of an Arsenal victory in this week's match.

    Now that's not possible and they'll have to hold out until the winter transfer window reopens.
    It looks like Ancelloti still wants to see how they do with a striker who isn't exactly pure. Actually there is already Joselu who if you look at his current position is Center Forward but until now his role in Madrid did not get that because Ancelloti still likes 2 strikers and 1 second striker for the formation that is done but if in the end they return to the original formation with 4-3-3 just like last season surely Joselu will be in the middle only even though he was very good last season at Espanyol but Espanyol and Madrid are very different so maybe this is a consideration for Ancelloti.
    I think if in the end Madrid still hope for the same formation and Joselu ends up deadlocked then it is possible that for the winter transfer they will look for a younger and more energetic pure striker.
    Real Madrid tends to be successful in overcoming problems with the 4-3-1-2 formation in the last few matches, in fact they have started using this formation since pre-season. Maybe it's because of Bellingham, so Ancelotti is just taking advantage of something special from him.
    Now looking at Madrid's situation, the 4-3-1-2 formation is still good enough to do and Jude was on fire in the first season and the beginning of this season but this is not a guarantee that it will last until the end of the season so before something like that happens they need to find other alternatives or plans on how to balance their performance with several formations that will be carried out.

    I like Madrid's current form and don't want them to regress after such a good start to the season but it's still possible and they need to be prepared for any problems.
    870  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 13, 2023, 09:59:32 PM
    As you said, they both have what it takes to win that game, which I think makes it a very interesting game for sure. I don't think it would turn into a one sided match where one of them takes a lead of two goals or more. I would rather expect a close back and forth between them and both have some great defensive power. AC Milan has quite a high speed attack now and Inter Milan has been very effective with their chances in the last few months. I think almost all outcomes are equally like and it is not really a perfect home game for the home team either given that it is the derby between the two teams.


    The statistics of their last 3 meetings Inter have the upper hand as all three have been won by Inter but in this case the biggest score is 2-0 so I agree with what you say where this match will not have a big enough goal difference especially if you see the performance of both teams at the beginning of this season.

    That's the point I want to make in this case, even though in the end everyone has some views and lum slump is also the way of some people but if we really want good results then focus on being in a strategy that has a very high chance of being with DCA because in the end when we are at the starting point for investment DCA is one of the strategies and methods that are very good to do and it has been tested by some of our predecessors who have done the same strategy so in this case DCA is like a good benchmark especially for beginners.

    It does not mean that we should not do lum slump like some other people who do it but it is better to focus on the most possible conditions for ourselves now. I don't have any problem if other people do lum slump because they also have their own strategies but for us as people who can be said to be new, it would be better to do the DCA strategy because this has a better probability for us as a beginner in bitcoin.

    Having a strategy and not rushing into things is important. I'm always thinking about the future, and I don't believe in investing just for quick profits, especially with Bitcoin. I like that many people here focus on long-term goals. One reason I don't invest a large sum all at once is because it's better to start early when you have the money and not wait for the huge capital to be there. If I try to save up a big amount to invest later, I might end up spending it on something else. So, I prefer to invest $100 from each paycheck, spreading it out over 3-12 months. This way, I can accumulate more Bitcoin over time.
    Looking at what you said at the beginning of the sentence and at the end, I actually think it has a contradiction.
    You say having a strategy and not rushing is a must-have but on the other hand you want to try first by investing $100 every time you have a salary and dividing it into several months.

I don't have any problem if other people do lum slump because they also have their own strategies but for us as people who can be said to be new, it would be better to do the DCA strategy because this has a better probability for us as a beginner in bitcoin.
    I will do a lum sump when..... Getting a bonus from work, being able to cover the cost of necessities from the month's salary and not disturbing the emergency fund, I will do lum sump that way.

    But now I will not force it, I will continue to persevere in the DCA strategy and this is probably the most practical that has been used by many people like us. So continue with the DCA strategy, there are other strategies that I will consider when I have more money.
    If you feel that it is convenient then it is back to yourself but in this case the main focus should still not be lost where the DCA that is your goal from the beginning must still be carried out properly and not get interrupted at the time and amount that you have agreed with yourself at this time.
    I agree with what you said in the last paragraph where indeed DCA is one of the right investment instruments for those of us who have minimal funds because apart from we can add to our portfolio it also does not interfere with money for other needs every month from the income we have from salaries because the investments we make are already in the DCA budget plan from our needs.

    ~Snip

    Ok ok, i agree with you. Jude Bellingham is a big midfield player; but you also need pure attackers, you can't solve the situation with a strong midfielder who scores goals.
    It doesn't work that way, so you're just patching the problem, you're not solving the problem.
    And Real Madrid need to solve the problem: found good attacker.
    I agree with you. Real Madrid needs a pure striker as part of their plans this season. I think Joselu definitely helps, but Ancelotti doesn't seem to have much confidence in the 33 year old striker. So far Real Madrid have failed to get Mbappe, but they have to make a better effort if they still want to get him in the next transfer market.

    Expecting Bellingham to score goals is not a big problem, but Ancelotti must use Bellingham as a striker rather than an attacking midfielder. Bellingham has had a good impact in a number of Real Madrid's wins so far, but Ancelotti needs to realize that Real Madrid's problem is actually a lack of strikers.
    Now that's not possible and they'll have to hold out until the winter transfer window reopens.
    It looks like Ancelloti still wants to see how they do with a striker who isn't exactly pure. Actually there is already Joselu who if you look at his current position is Center Forward but until now his role in Madrid did not get that because Ancelloti still likes 2 strikers and 1 second striker for the formation that is done but if in the end they return to the original formation with 4-3-3 just like last season surely Joselu will be in the middle only even though he was very good last season at Espanyol but Espanyol and Madrid are very different so maybe this is a consideration for Ancelloti.

    But this was inevitable because seeing that the final result could not be changed and they only managed to get 1 point in this match.
    Even though England is actually safe, this is a little annoying for me with the results achieved because with that my bet lost.
    On the other hand, Italy also seems to be still having difficulties in this qualifying phase. Hopefully they don't miss out on the Euro opportunity after previously failing in the World Cup. Because if this fails then I think their quality will decline the most drastically compared to other national teams.

    I can't really say if Italy will qualify in this group but having Ukraine trying their best to qualify I feel Italy should have been making preparation for getting the 2nd or 1st position in that group.
    It would be a shame if Italy miss out on this tournament, because they look more competitive to give other nations problem like a challenge for the title but since England are topping the group they (Italy) need to struggle for that 2nd position to grant them qualification. As it stands Ukraine are not ready to leave that 2nd position for anything.
    The fight for first place is obviously impossible for now and I'm not sure about that even though there are still 5 matches that Italy has yet to do but for 2nd place it's still possible.
    They still haven't met Ukraine in this qualifier and there are 2 matches that will bring them together with Ukraine that can be maximised well if they really want to be in second place.

    Ukraine always play all out and they will also be ready to anticipate this but this will be a life and death match for Italy.
    They are known to be one of the countries that have a good supply of players and it would be terrible if they fail in this qualifier just like they did in the previous world cup.

    Aggressive buying is mostly during an overly discounted Bitcoin market period,  and do so should be done with funds that have no need for for as long as the time can take to make adequate profits in the long term, 
    It seems a little normal as we are perceived to be able to afford much larger purchases and with our greed in mind, these thoughts will always be there.
    But on the other hand, this kind of aggressiveness will actually disrupt your rhythm especially when doing DCA. because indeed when discussing consistent DCA, the emergence of thoughts of being too impulsive will cause our DCA to be disrupted which makes this a little risky.
    I previously made mistakes like this especially when bitcoin was at the price of $20k at that time, even though it was still profitable from a calculation point of view but on the other hand my DCA was disrupted because of the impulsive nature that I did so I had to change from the beginning of the DCA concept that I did and it was actually a little troublesome.
    Lum sump? Well, that thought will be on our minds especially when the price falls significantly when there is spare money, I want to buy lum sump but I undo that intention and put more principles on the DCA strategy.

    In fact, I don't want to be aggressive with buying at once even though this is a good way to also buy below at once but DCA will be a little chaotic and between once a week it becomes vulnerable to distance because it has bought below, my mind is that even if it continues to DCA with every week it will also be better and will not be a burden.

    Now I want to be like flowing water in a river, no matter what the price is, I will try the DCA method.

    That's the point I want to make in this case, even though in the end everyone has some views and lum slump is also the way of some people but if we really want good results then focus on being in a strategy that has a very high chance of being with DCA because in the end when we are at the starting point for investment DCA is one of the strategies and methods that are very good to do and it has been tested by some of our predecessors who have done the same strategy so in this case DCA is like a good benchmark especially for beginners.

    It does not mean that we should not do lum slump like some other people who do it but it is better to focus on the most possible conditions for ourselves now. I don't have any problem if other people do lum slump because they also have their own strategies but for us as people who can be said to be new, it would be better to do the DCA strategy because this has a better probability for us as a beginner in bitcoin.

    At the moment I think Odegaard is still very worthy of being retained and it is certain that Arsenal will do that.
    Currently the vacant captain position has been completely replaced with Odegaard even though he is still very young but he is very capable of carrying the players on the field and being a good captain figure so I think sooner or later Odegaard will definitely be extended his contract.
    Currently Odegaard's contract is still not urgent but in the end it is possible that at the latest the end of this season there will definitely be an extension for this young player because his potential is still very good for Arsenal.
    Of course, Martin Ødegaard is still one of the players that Arteta and Arsenal continue to prioritize because in Arsenal core squad he is still a trusted captain whose leadership is difficult to replace. Martin Ødegaard can be said to be Arsenal's long-term investment and as long as Arteta is coach, I am sure Martin Ødegaard will continue to be a favorite. Apart from that, the important capital that the Gunner currently has are ideal players and it takes quite a long time to form such a great team, so if you look at the current composition it is likely that no one will dare to let him go.
    He is still very young but even with his age he is stable enough to lead his teammates as captain which is certainly not the case for all young players and is very rare for something like this.
    Looking at the situation, it would be a pity if in the end Odegaard was left alone. But in this case I still feel Arsenal will still wait until at least the end of this season to extend Odegaard's contract. The current condition I think is not too urgent for Arsenal because there are still 2 seasons left with this season so they will prioritise other things first before extending Odegaard's contract.

    It would be funny if a club played a game and didn't want to win.
    England tried a few chances but in the end Ukraine also played very well in this match which made England unable to develop their attacks despite several attempts and substitutions but they failed to maximise with their dominance.
    However, they are still comfortable in their current position and it is quite interesting to see the competition for the second place I guess because for the first place, England is definitely there but for the second place, Italy and Ukraine still have a chance to prove themselves.

    I don't expect England to even play out a draw in this encounter because they're the favorite and the 3 Lions have all they needed to come out victorious with all 3pt, imagine them struggling to win against the Ukraine national team. It was as if both teams are of the same strength, well I'm judging base on the kind of world class players the 3Lions have and they couldn't dominate.
    When I see the England team score just a goal or two in a game that they ought to score more than 3 goals it just reminds me of the France team, and is annoying to gambling investors as the case maybe.
    I just believe they (England) have a plan in their next match and not to end in a draw.
    But this was inevitable because seeing that the final result could not be changed and they only managed to get 1 point in this match.
    Even though England is actually safe, this is a little annoying for me with the results achieved because with that my bet lost.
    On the other hand, Italy also seems to be still having difficulties in this qualifying phase. Hopefully they don't miss out on the Euro opportunity after previously failing in the World Cup. Because if this fails then I think their quality will decline the most drastically compared to other national teams.

    I prefer to think that they are struggling to score goals rather than not trying to score many goals in a match because looking at their condition for the beginning of this season it seems very difficult for them to score more than 2 goals in 1 match.
    There still needs to be some familiarisation when trying out some of the younger players and Lewandowski's performance is still hampered by the opposition's marking which makes it difficult for Barcelona to find many goals in their matches.

    Despite this the chances of them winning definitely remain as they are the favourites and the worst possibility is a draw although this would be difficult for Betis to force a draw.
    I just hope Robert Lewandowski get back to his full potential like that at Bayern Munich were he could be able to score several hat tricks in one season, ever since he came to Barcelona I've not really been impressed with his performance compared to when he was at Bayern Munich, Barcelona are known to be very dominant and very high in possession on the pitch, they love to press their opponents and force them out of their defense line which is a very fine tactics that could make them easily win matches against smaller club but you'll find them pressing and failing to put the ball into the net, and it would fall back to Lewandowski inconsistency for Barcelona, since he's the top 9 it's his responsibility to get the ball into the net but it's been uneasy for him instead it's the Barcelona wingers and Midfielders that mostly scores for them.
    It's difficult, Lewandowski is a good player but on the other hand, we also have to remember that his age has started to interfere with his performance so it's impossible to expect the same performance when at Bayern which was Lewandowski's golden era.
    But he will still be very useful for now for Barcelona, it's just that until now it seems that Lewandowski is still very difficult to get his form at the beginning of this season.
    It's up to Xavi to revive Lewandowski and it's up to Lewandowski whether or not he can break free from his current state because from what some of Barcelona's opponents have done at the start of this season they know that keeping Lewandowski at bay is a top priority and letting Barcelona have more of the ball.

    Aggressive buying is mostly during an overly discounted Bitcoin market period,  and do so should be done with funds that have no need for for as long as the time can take to make adequate profits in the long term, 
    It seems a little normal as we are perceived to be able to afford much larger purchases and with our greed in mind, these thoughts will always be there.
    But on the other hand, this kind of aggressiveness will actually disrupt your rhythm especially when doing DCA. because indeed when discussing consistent DCA, the emergence of thoughts of being too impulsive will cause our DCA to be disrupted which makes this a little risky.
    I previously made mistakes like this especially when bitcoin was at the price of $20k at that time, even though it was still profitable from a calculation point of view but on the other hand my DCA was disrupted because of the impulsive nature that I did so I had to change from the beginning of the DCA concept that I did and it was actually a little troublesome.
    When I say aggressive what I intend is that when the price of Bitcoin drops significantly to the point that the obvious is that you be at an advantage in buying at that time,  most especially when you make the buying out of cash that is left over.

    Not with money that is already budgeted for something else,  at most we should not be under any form of pressure at whatever point since we ought to make our best decision free from any form of pressure in both short and long term.
    As I said before even though the impulsive way is good enough for some people but not all can do it because in the end if you do a fairly impulsive way it can make profits much bigger but on the other hand the purchases we make become uncontrolled and consistency is lost because only buying with a large nominal and forgetting the initial scheme when doing DCA.

    That is not a problem if you have enough funds to make regular impulsive purchases (buying at once with a larger amount of money) but if in the end this can disrupt the initial strategy of DCA with a predetermined amount according to the monthly income budget minus living expenses and other needs then I think it would be better to do DCA consistently rather than buying irregularly even with a larger amount.
    In your explanation, what I can conclude is that trying to do DCA and buying aggressively during a downturn, as long as we have more funds maybe it can be done by some people but of course we have to have some other considerations in this case so it would be better to do it in a conventional way as it has always been done (with DCA) rather than taking risks where this can interfere with the strategy carried out because doing 2 buying strategies at once of course we have to redetermine the budget set for investment.

    Arsenal are concentrated on extending the contracts of their most important players currently. After the transfer window has been closed they are focused on securing the future of their players now. They are doing the right thing by acting already now. Because these players are attracting a lot of attention to themselves by their effort.

    They have extended with some players like Martinelli already now it is Odegaard's turn. But I wonder whether he has the same thought with his team. His market value has reached 90 million euros after his brilliant effort here. His current contract ends in 2025. Arsenal had better give what he wants to keep a great talent like him for a long time.
    At the moment I think Odegaard is still very worthy of being retained and it is certain that Arsenal will do that.
    Currently the vacant captain position has been completely replaced with Odegaard even though he is still very young but he is very capable of carrying the players on the field and being a good captain figure so I think sooner or later Odegaard will definitely be extended his contract.
    Currently Odegaard's contract is still not urgent but in the end it is possible that at the latest the end of this season there will definitely be an extension for this young player because his potential is still very good for Arsenal.

    I had the feeling that England didn't really want to win. With 13 points they have secured first place in the group and with a draw they could potentially eliminate a stronger opponent like Italy. It's not a stupid idea. Who knows whether they might meet Italy later after qualifying and have problems with them.
    It would be funny if a club played a game and didn't want to win.
    England tried a few chances but in the end Ukraine also played very well in this match which made England unable to develop their attacks despite several attempts and substitutions but they failed to maximise with their dominance.
    However, they are still comfortable in their current position and it is quite interesting to see the competition for the second place I guess because for the first place, England is definitely there but for the second place, Italy and Ukraine still have a chance to prove themselves.
