861  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: MicroStrategy acquires an additional 9,245 BTC with excess cash(@$67,382) on: March 20, 2024, 02:50:07 PM
Do you think it is the correct strategy to buy more BTC and HODL?
Of course yeah, no amount of wealth will make anyone satisfied, and that is why you see that even the rich are still looking for more money. If you look at the bitcoin in MicroStrategy custody, you will see that it has generated a huge amount of profit, and no one needs to tell Michael Saylor about the compounding value of bitcoin during the hodli period. If only new investors can understand the future of bitcoin, they will always buy whenever they can either bull or bear season.


They did try to buy the dip but it has dipped further.
MicroStrategy is not a day trader or a short term investor, so whatever amount of bitcoin that the company buys at Xprice will generate profit over time, and we are still hoping to see the higher price of bitcoin in this circle by next year. Which some speculations are on 200k.

Will we see another ATH soon? How long would you HODL if you were in MicroStrategy's position?
Yea,definitely. We will keep on seeing new ATH in every circle. I am not MicroStrategy, but the little bitcoin that I have will be part of my life.

There is no major star in the Liverpool team, but with the combination of all the players, Liverpool is performing well this season. Liverpool's current team combination is very good and if there are injury problems and some players are missing in the upcoming games due to injury problems, their plans will definitely be disrupted. As they have a chance to win several titles ahead, the players must stay fit and play cautiously even if no player gets injured because injuries are totally unwanted. Even though the injury is unwanted, they have to play with as much caution as possible so that the plans they have made this season are implemented.
Liverpool is a top team that has quality players in all its lines and I think there are enough star players at Liverpool so that they can maintain the consistency of their best performance in the last few seasons.
Regarding the number of injured players, I don't think it's a big problem because we have seen throughout this season that quite a lot of Liverpool teams rotate players because several of their main players are injured and that doesn't make their performance decline.

Against Atalanta it is not easy for Liverpool, but we also have to look realistically at the strength of these two teams, that Liverpool is a little stronger and they have a slightly greater percentage of being able to qualify for the semi-finals.

Even though several of Liverpool's important players are sidelined due to injuries, the team continues to excel without them. Despite this setback, I strongly believe that Liverpool remains the favored team to triumph over Atalanta. This assertion is based on their remarkable performance in the league thus far. Comparing the strengths of the two teams, it is evident that Liverpool still holds the edge over Atalanta. However, the outcome of the first leg and second leg matches remains uncertain.Nonetheless, Liverpool stands a good chance of emerging victorious in both encounters. It will be intriguing to witness how the first leg unfolds, as Atalanta could potentially present a formidable challenge to Liverpool's dominance. In essence, while Liverpool's injury concerns may raise doubts, their current form and squad depth suggest that they are well-equipped to secure positive results against Atalanta.
Playing Atlanta wouldn't be the problem for Liverpool, because Liverpool is mean for this game and they are in their super form, due to the way that they displayed their strengths in the round of 16. I don't think that Atlanta would be a problem that can hinder Liverpool from qualifying to the semifinals.

Atlanta is also strong but they don't have the quality of players that would be able to outsmart Liverpool players, and take advantage of the game. However, that does not mean that Atlanta should be underestimated, because we might see a different drama from them in that day.

Everyone also knows that Jurgen Klopp is better than Erik ten Hag and maybe his fans are exaggerating just because they managed to get rid of Liverpool in the FA Cup match. It must be admitted that this time Jurgen Kloop lost and I think that is a normal thing in football when the results are not as expected. But if you look back, there are quite a few contributions that Jurgen Kloop has made to Liverpool. As you said, winning the EPL is something Liverpool have longed for for so long and they can feel it again after Jurgen Kloop arrived at Anfield.

But not only that, the young squad that Jurgen Klopp has built in the past few years is also very special and has transformed into extraordinary players. I think his legacy will continue even if Jurgen Klopp leaves at the end of the season and I think Erik ten Hag has just started at Manchester United and still needs more time like Jurgen Kloop did for Liverpool.
Of course these two coaches cannot be compared because in terms of achievements of course Kloop is far superior because he has succeeded in bringing Liverpool several trophies. Indeed, Liverpool defeat in the FA Cup sparked various arguments and indeed the match was quite fierce with both teams buying and selling attacks. Of course, for Erik ten Hag, he has a chance to win a trophy this season and of course they have to maximize this opportunity well.

For Liverpool, they still have two chances to get a trophy and of course the fans disappointment can be alleviated if they are successful in the European league and in the Premier League. But for the Premier League, as we know, this season the competition is very strong and perhaps Liverpool steps to win the Premier League really have quite strong obstacles this season.
I don't see why anyone should compare Ten Hag amd Klopp because they are not in the same category. Is it just because Manchester united managed to defeat Liverpool and advance to the semifinals means that Eric Ten Hag has achieved something great, when he has not even won the FA Cup. This should be a shame to those who are saying this because Manchester united is bigger than just winning Liverpool.

It is quite a tough journey for Liverpool to finish as first and the winner of this season premiere league, because they habe strong clubs to face that if they are not careful, they might drop points. I love the little difference in their points because it will make them more serious with every match that they will be playing.
864  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 19, 2024, 06:36:49 PM
~~~
With the elimination of Inter Milan from the Champions League, the club will now focus on the Seria A title. Inter is fourteen points ahead of AC Milan and seventeen points above Juventus. It will be very difficult for these teams to overtake Inter. The goal of these two teams will be to get a Champions League ticket and not the Italian league title. Inter lost two points when they drew against Napoli, however, the next game will be against Empoli. The international break is usually a turning point for some teams while it could also be a bad time for some clubs. Players are sometimes injured while representing their countries which might affect the performance of the clubs. The more injured players are club might have during this international break might determine how well they will fare after the break.
Apart from winning the Italian Super League cup, Inter also has a big chance of winning the Serie A title this season. Of course, it is a title they will win after failing in the Champions League and Inter will have to make it happen. Inter is safe from winning the Scudetto this season, that's because the points gap with Milan is already very high. It is no longer possible for Milan to win the title and Milan will only focus on maintaining its position in the Champions League zone.

Meanwhile, Roma and Bologna will compete fiercely for Champions League tickets. The gap in points between the two is still very possible to elbow each other, but Roma seems to have a better chance of qualifying for the Champions League even though Bologna has a few points advantage at the moment. If that is true, then Roma, Juventus, Milan and Inter will go to the Champions League next season representing Serie A.
Inter have already won the league, the are only waiting for the ceremonial part, because Milan will never be able to do anything than to remain on the second position as that is the highest that they go.

As for the club that will finish fourth on the table, I don't think that I can predict that correctly, because Bologna is becoming stubborn and would not accept defeat easily. Roma is a club that hardly lose any game, and the worst that will happen is a draw that they will settle for. So it becomes difficult to say, until we have like three matches left.

Health is wealth. This is why he should take care of his health first, so that he can live to enjoy his investment, and let him not act foolish. Those new coins that he is investing on might lead to great loss, and if he is still sick, the shock and frustration can lead him to his death.

Investment is good, but it should not be put first before our health. This is where people misunderstand what investment is.

Is this true gambling is not place to make money is place to lose it?
Of course, gambling takes more than it gives to you most times. Gambling should not be seen as a money making machine, because that person will end up being disappointed and frustrated in life when he puts all his hope on using gambling to turn his life around. Gamble should be done for entertainment, and whatever amount that you use to stake your bet, should be seen as the money that you are using to pay for the fun.

Some gamblers are now in big debt because of their misunderstanding on how gambling should be done, and they allowed themselves to be controlled by their emotions after a great loss. Anyone who understands that gambling takes more from him, will try to limit the amount he puts into gambling, because the money will be gone forever, and if we know that we are putting funds into something that will not be profitable, we will do it with caution and care, to avoid using an amount that we need for something important.

Moreover, Barcelona's performance this season has been less stable compared to Atletico, but now everything has changed and the additional 3 points have put Barcelona in second place in the standings. I think Atletico must know that all teams are the same and must try to win and not just focus too much on their local rivals like Real Madrid. The additional 3 points are important to maintain stability and also create a safe position in top competition. Wink

I thought Atletico Madrid could make things difficult for Barcelona, but I was wrong. In fact I think like you, because they concede the ball too easily and it looks weak like in your picture. It seems Madrid have to learn a lot from Barcelona so they can make Atletico like a docile cat. It seems that Jao Felix became Barcelona's differentiating actor, with his anger he worked hard to make Simeone feel guilty about letting go.


Barcelona's play really impressed me; Athletico Madrid also had excellent chances, but their finishing were bad. I first assumed that Athletico Madrid would make the match difficult for Barcelona, but I was quite disappointed by their performance, especially their defensemen.

I think Barcelona's playing has really improved. Many fans blamed Xavi for not having a coaching strategy, but he is one of my top three favourite coaches this season because it is not easy to manage a team that does not have funds, and he is doing his best because he is currently second in the La Liga table and he still managed the team to the Champions League quarterfinals, which I'm hoping to see Barcelona in the Champions League final.
I thought Athletico Madrid would be difficult for Barcelona to win against in the league, but Barcelona surprised me with an easy win against Athletico Madrid at home. Barcelona's performance has improved lately, and it has helped them get some good results. Barcelona is now in second place in the La Liga table.
That defeat by Barcelona have a negative impact on Atletico Madrid, because they need to fight back their way to the top four, so that they can be in the Champions League next season, otherwise they will have to go for Europa cup.

Barcelona was able to show that they are superior over Atletico, no matter where the match is played. This was why it was very easy for them to win the match with 3 goals on a clean sheet. Only if Bilbao and Girona drop points, that is when there can be hope for Atletico to finish on top four.

I won't be too surprised if Brazil gets kicked out from the top-10 in FIFA ranking. They have been in decline for quite some time now. Domestic leagues are of poor quality and therefore the promising players pack their bags and go to either Europe or North America. As a result, there is absolutely no team bonding within the squad. Because the only time these players are together is when they represent the national team (and that occurs not too frequently). Once Neymar retires, I am quite sure that the quality will go down even further.
Brazil gets kicked out from the top ten standings FIFA ranking is not surprised with their bad performance currently in qualifier round, I think have opportunity to get more points and move the higher standings again if can win upcoming match in qualifier on March and the best result in Copa America at June 2024.
Brazil have many youth talent but difficult for winning every matches in qualifier round, upcoming two friendly matches at the end this month against England and Spain Brazil have to win if want back to the top standings FIFA ranking. Next schedule win Copa America will help more for returning to the top standings rank again as the first position teams.

Brazil during its preparations usually faces the most horrible teams possible, such as Venezuela, Ecuador, etc., it is very rare to see friendlies or preparatory games against major European teams. The reality is that this generation of players is very, very bad, it's even sad to remember that we once had Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo, Romario and so many others on the team and see today's team. Horrible
Of course, the present Brazil players are bad and they have not taken the bold step to defend their country in football and keep the record on, like the past heros of Brazil did. This is why they are now rated 7 on the table because there are countries that have strong players that are determined to win the world cup for their country, no matter the sacrifice that it will take.

Maybe as time passes by, we will see that spirit of football once again in Brazil, by the upcoming players but not these ones anymore, because they hardly go far in the world cup, especially when are playing with strong countries. Brazil is the most recognized country when it comes to football back days, but now I don't think so.

This is why it is good to invest in bitcoin because it is an hedge to inflation. Since the economy of your country is poor, it is better that people in your region use the advantage to save their funds from depreciation by investing in bitcoin. USDT is good too, since it has high value to your local currency, but it is a stable coin, and cannot generate profit for you. This is why bitcoin is the best.

My country's economy is poor with high rate of inflation, but I have almost all my funds in bitcoin so I don't feel it that much. The problem that I have is that the price of commodities are skyrocketing every hour, making life more difficult for the low class citizens.

Previously, Juventus was not just about being in second place but yes, previously Juventus was a tight competitor with Inter in the race for first place. But unfortunately, Juventus performance in the second half of this season has decreased and is difficult to improveagain. With results like that, of course, it is difficult for Juventus to win in every match they play. But even so, at least Juventus target for the remainder of this season is only to maintain its position in the top four because clearly, it would be very bad if Juventus dropped out of the top four, because this season is a good season and good moment for Juventus to be able to finish in the top four.
There is no other possibility than to finish in the top 4 for Juventus this season and that is quite realistic considering what they are currently experiencing.
The significant decline in performance that occurred in the second half of this season was a bit surprising, initially when they were unable to compete with Inter Milan and were increasingly behind in points from Inter Milan who were at the top of the standings, it made Juventus seem to have lost motivation to win the match, but if this continues So it will be very confusing for them now because Roma and Bologna are quite consistent so it could be dangerous for Juventus to finish in the top 4.
This is the same thing happening in both Laliga. Just the way Juventus was unable to continue on the competition with Inter for the title race, amd now they are currently on the third position, is the same Girona could no longer be in the title race with Real Madrid, and they are also in the third position. I know that this is a coincidence.

Juventus will finish on top four, no matter the decline in their performance, because they were able to maintain the second position for a while which added a lot of numbers to their points. They just need to be careful not to draw more than they win, but I don't think that there will be any big challenge that will make them risk the fourth position to a club behind them.

This was the good one,So the trader should not worry about the minor fall,many had brought in the 68k pump.After that we had faced huge fall in the bitcoin market.Many a while the price doesn’t cross above the value of 32-34k.But many had the gift of the value with the double digits profit of the holding on the correction time.Still many trader claiming the bitcoin will reach the value of 100k as the next target in the 2024.It was essential for the trader to make some profit by just holding on the bull market of the cryptocurrency market.Don’t sell your assets at the panic of losing the high prices,the bull run not end yet.
You are misunderstanding trading with investing. For one to be able to keep his investment for up to 4-10yrs and above with increasing his bitcoin portfolio size regularly through DCA mixed with lump sum, or buy at the dip is known as hodli, and that means investment. This is because you are not after short-term profit,  but rather you are allowing your investment to grow over a long period of time so that it can be profitable due to the capital and profit generating new profits.

When someone buys bitcoin and plan to sell whenever there is a price higher than his entry point, or too soon because of little profit, he is a trader. That person will not benefit from the compounding value of bitcoin which is the highest of all profits, and that is why it is advised to invest in bitcoin, grow your investment through DCA regularly, amd hodli for a long period of time so that you can be proud of yourself for sacrificing and building your bitcoin investment, because bitcoin price increases with time-line, and it is the size of your bitcoin portfolio that determines your profit.

Fair odds of 1.64 for Liverpool because they are the favorite team. Meanwhile, Manchester United, the unseeded team, is given bigger odds of up to 4.40.
Betting on both teams scoring goals is the safest bet while enjoying the match.
Liverpool's odds of winning have failed. The match ended in a draw with extra time.
Manchester United played quite well at the end of the time to change the situation they still have hope to win.

Yes, the odds of both teams scoring are the safest because in the first half they have scored between them. Congratulations on taking that chance.
Lol. The results are in line with expectations as a fan. Win and qualify for the semifinals by beating Liverpool. I forgot what I said earlier yesterday in this discussion.
I placed two bets. You can think about how it will turn out.

Erik ten Hag was too brave to change strategy in the extra time. Put Bruno Fernandes at the back and put Antony at wing back. Garnacho's role is to keep running and moving, so for me Garnacho is the best player even though Amad has the award based on the photos circulating.
If Rashford doesn't waste opportunities, not 1 goal, but 3 goals from him.
I would have say that Rashford was the player that misused all the good chances that Manchester United was supposed to have used to win Liverpool, assuming he did not score the third goal to equalize the match, and Manchester united didn't win the game. I don't know what is wrong with Rashford in that match as he needs to working on his striking skills.

Amad was given the MVP,  because he was the one that scored the winning goal at the dying minutes which made Manchester united to qualify for the semifinals, because he scored the goal at the right time when it was needed. Rashford could not score such an important goal in the last 90mins of the extra time, when he had a one on one with Liverpool goalkeeper. This was why Amad deserves it.

West Ham is not a team that is that scary for Leverkusen, especially since the match will take place at the BayArena which should not be too difficult for Leverkusen. I am still very confident that Leverkusen will continue to survive until the final in the Europa League this season because when I see Leverkusen's consistency in their own local league which is extraordinary, of course they can also apply this in the Europa League. Even though the opponents are more different than the ones they have faced in their own local league.
Bayer Leverkusen is indeed a team that is predicted to still advance to the semifinals and even the final of the European League, but seeing how they conceded four goals to Qarabag and also conceded two goals to Freiburg in the Bundesliga match yesterday, Bayer Leverkusen must be wary of signs of decline in their defense, and West Ham Even though they are not a strong team like Bayer Leverkusen, their game which is quite aggressive is very likely to be troublesome for Bayer and if the first match Bayer doesn't win with a big goal margin then they might face difficulties in the second match because West Ham is still not a team that can be underestimated and they could provide a surprise if Bayer is not alert to it.
West Ham cannot be underestimated. Even though they didn't have good results in the Premier League, in the European League I think West Ham should be wary of. But Leverkusen is of course much more reliable if they are in top form. We must remember that Bayern Munich even suffered defeat this season by Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. And this is all a sign of how strong Leverkusen is, who currently tops the Bundesliga. So West Ham may be the one who has to be prepared for every attack launched by Leverkusen which seems very scary this season. But one gap that Leverkusen currently has is in their back position. Leverkusen concede too easily and that is their weak point. And West Ham must be able to take advantage of that.
Nobody is underestimating West Ham, but the fact is that they are too weak for Leverkusen who has never accepted defeat since the beginning of this season in all competitions. This makes to feel that it will be difficult for West Ham to survive in this match, because they are not that strong and from the premier league result we can see how inconsistent they are.

Leverkusen is lucky that they are playing West Ham in the quarter finals and I must say that it will be an easy win for them. However, the match might be more difficult athan what I thought.

Trading money what a trader can afford to lose is right but in trading practice, a more important rule is protection of your trading capital.

You can afford to lose it before you start your trading with actual money but you need to protect your capital. You must avoid to lose your trading capital as without it, you are emptied hands and your trading career ends at that time.

So use stop loss order, stop limit order to defend your capital and minimize risk to lose all of it.
To be on the safer side when you are trading, it is good to use the money that you can afford to lose, so that even when you lose it, it does not mean anything to you, but instead you have learnt something new about the market. It is when you trade with the amount that you cannot afford to lose that ends your capital.

Trading is similar to gambling as it deals with emotion and when to close your trade. If any trader can control his emotion, be satisfied with little profit amd close the trade at the right time, the risk in trading will be limited. Don't allow greed get all over you, because it leads to great loss.

This is my prediction:

Milan vs Roma
Will qualify > Milan
Milan have won their last few matches against Roma and I don't think it will be any different, they look better and more prepared to reach a semi-final, not to mention the fact that they have more tradition and are used to European competitions

That's why when two teams from the same country it will be easy for us to know who is the team that has a greater chance of winning, because so far we also don't see any difference when the two teams meet in the league or in the Europa League, just like you, I also think if Ac Milan will be able to overcome Roma both home and away later because even though they compete in Europa League matches but still will It feels like a Serie A match later, at the moment Ac Milan is a team that is quite experienced both in the league and European competitions so maybe they are better prepared to look at the quarter-final match than Roma at the moment, besides that I think in terms of quality of players of course Milan is far superior to Roma who are currently starting to rise in the league.

We admit that Roma's current performance has indeed improved a lot in the league, but so far to face a team as big and strong as Milan of course Roma will need luck to win, now we can see how the consistency possessed by Milan in the league that even they managed to make Juventus threatened in serie A standing , as well as the head to head between Milan and Roma so far,  Isn't Milan far superior to Roma so surely Milan will be favorites in the Europa League quarterfinals later.

I agree with you that Milan is more superior than Roma, and that is the same reason why I believe that Milan is the favorite in this match. I will say the match will end up the way it use to end in Seria A, which the string side will win, because these two clubs are from the same league so they are used to playing one another, and they know who is the superior to the other.

Assuming they are from different leagues, then it might be that one will not be able to predict the game right. Roma will not be able to win Milan and qualify to the semifinals, because they don't have the players to do the job. Milan has slowly remained consistent which took them to the second position on their league, and that shows that they are in form.

Real Madrid was lucky enoght to be in fight for the tittle against Girona and not against the big teams like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, but now they are gonna need to save players for the Champions League matches against Manchester CIty which is way more important than the domestic games right now. Lets see how much points they drop in this run.
What are you saying here? Madrid are lucky in the competition because they only face Girona and not a big club like Barcelona? What kind of ridiculous thinking is this lol.

That doesn't mean Madrid are lucky but indeed Barcelona don't have the same strength to compete in La Liga because of their poor form at the start of the season and that doesn't mean it's lucky for Madrid because after all the game is the same it's just performance that makes the difference and it's the inability of other clubs in La Liga not Madrid's luck.

We know that this season until now Madrid is still the most productive and most consistent club until now so seeing conditions like this we must realize that the difference is very pronounced for La Liga but this is not a fortune for 1 club because competition is based on performance and if the club cannot make its performance good do not expect to be able to be and compete for trophies.
Where was Barcelona when Real Madrid and Girona was on the title race for 2 months or more. Barcelona just picked form, and that does not mean that anyone should start comparing the with Real Madrid that has being in form since the beginning of this season till date. I guess @Volgastallion just want to hype Barcelona when they have already reached their limit.

Real Madrid playing in the champions league will not change anything in their performance, and does not mean that they are ready to drop point for anyone, especially now that Barcelona is on the second position. They will always be in their best performance to see that they don't drop points no matter if the worse happen to the players.

Forgetting the damage that such decisions actions will do to the people and the economy of the country.

~snip~
Real Madrid has a lot of good experience in the Champions League, even though they were beaten by Manchester City last season, but now it is their turn to avenge that defeat in the next match and they can dominate the Champions League title again.
Even I hope it is like this. But Madrid seems a little difficult. Remember until this phase Man City were very strong. They haven't lost since a group stage match. So Ancelotti has to learn from the game and how to switch off some key players like Foden, Haaland, De Bruyne. Because when I see Madrid playing with teams with good possession, Madrid always find it difficult to improve.
Reflecting on the last match then we know how Madrid's midfield lost badly to Manchester City because they were struggling to keep up with the performance shown by Manchester City especially when at the Etihad but now this could be another situation where Madrid can take revenge for what happened in the previous season.

Indeed, in terms of the current game Manchester City and Madrid are still balanced but it depends on the 90 minutes of the match later whether or not Madrid is finally able to provide greater resistance to Manchester City, especially for midfield problems because this is a central sector that must be owned in a match especially Madrid must know that they last season when they lost in midfield then it was over for them and Madrid must try to make a clear balance on this matter because if in the end they cannot do much in midfield as before then it is certain that Madrid will continue to struggle in the end when facing Manchester City this season.

I believe that Ancelotti must have learnt from his previous mistake, that he needs to make sure that his team is in control of the midfield this time. I also will love it if Real Madrid can use this season to whip back Manchester city ass in revenge of last season, but it is just too early for that challenge.

It is going to be a difficult match for the both teams because they know the quality of each other, since they have recently become rivals in the Champions League. The two club is balanced and I believe that both of them will stay focus more on that match, because none of them will be planning on losing the quarter finals. The strongest and most lucky will qualify to the semifinals. Who knows if the winner of the match will also be the champion league winner this season.

We have been seeing improvements in Barcelona for a few weeks. I do not expect them to beat Atletico Madrid so easily, but they were very good and did not play a great match. An important moment in the match was when Xavi was suspended due to his objections. This was an important moment.
So far, in La Liga, Barcelona's performance is incresing, satisfactory enough. It may not be that easy, but finally, Xavi is able to bring Barcelona's strength back after previously experiencing a quite disappointing downturn in performance.

At least, now, they have reclaimed second place from Girona. Although it is quite impossible to take over Real Madrid's position.

Barcelona's victory over Atletico Madrid was also a very proud result. especially since this is an away match for them. So it can be seen that Barcelona is really ready for their match against Atletico Madrid. This was a very satisfying victory, not only 1 goal but also 3 goals to make Atletico Madrid really embarrassed and disappointed. This is very sufficient for that.
Barcelona have become very consistent currently, and they were able to be on the second position behind Real Madrid and that is not bad, unlike assuming they finished third. I already have known that Girona will not be able to finish the league on the second position, after when I saw that they are using only just a point to be ahead of Barcelona.

The reason is because, if you look at Girona current performance, it is not as consistent as that of Barcelona, and Barcelona is more used to either being the first of the second to finish the league. However, I don't think that anyone should start thinking that it will be possible for Barcelona to win the league, because Real Madrid would not allow that happen. The defeat today kept Atletico on the 5th position for the Europa cup next season, if they are not able to fight back and take the fourth position from Atletico Bilbao
