921  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: May 16, 2023, 09:41:28 AM


Why is Real Madrid's faith wavering while Manchester City gains momentum? I fail to understand. Are you judging based on their performance in their domestic league or the outcome of their last match? If it weren't for Real Madrid that allowed them to score, we all know that Manchester City was lacking in the previous game. Haaland was effectively neutralized by Rudiger, and Benzema and Vinicius showed more composure with the ball compared to City players. I don't see any exceptional qualities from their recent match. Even if we consider their domestic league performance, Real Madrid were in a similar state before the first leg and they played well as any other team would have done if given the opportunity.
There is no doubt that the Real Madrid squad plays more skilled football than the Manchester City squad in this season but the luck seems to be in favour of the manchester city side in both EPL and UEFA take their performance in the premier league for example how Manchester struggled all throughout the season trying to claim the first spot from Arsenal who started the EPL so well,  but then finally got knocked down of that position by Manchester for two consecutive times.

But in all of this,  Manchester City have been favoured to be the best. Chosen for the possible double trophy in both English leagues this season.
I can't say Manchester City are any better than Real Madrid this Champions League season. Even a draw in the first game is not a good or bad indicator for both teams. In the previous rounds, Real Madrid have easily beaten two English clubs. Although Chelsea and Liverpool are not in their best form this season. Manchester City will be very tough in the next game. No matter what Real's result in La Liga, they are determined to win.

The bookies seem quite confident that Manchester City will qualify for the final and also that they will win the title. If they win the final, they are indeed a heavy favorite against probably Inter Milan. But Inter Milan, where should we put them at the moment? They are in a good flow and have played the entire Italian top in the last games of the field. I would rather see a final between Real Madrid and Inter Milan, but I really wish Guardiola his first title with City. Many football experts say that City - Madrid is a 50-50 match.
Most of the time Bookies hype things for their own sack so in this case also happen with as most of the pundits are still feeling both teams having equal chance for the qualifying into final bookies are trying to cover their loses as well because right now as Manchester City is performing most chances they will win and also have title into their pocket as well with double is surely going to be amazing for the Guardiola and his team.

But, Real Madrid is also having history of unpredictable results as many times they shattered hearts of many peoples for their own wins so can they do this again it's big question mark right now but most chances we will have Manchester City vs Inter into final for this season.
Bookies have their own reasons when they put Manchester City as the favorite even in gadang gadang will win the Champions League this season, that is in line with their good performances so far and also they will play a match where they will get full support from the supporters who come to support them. In fact, Real Madrid has always been unfavorable when meeting strong clubs like Manchester City. Let's take the example of last season, round after round they went through without favorite status, in other words the opponents they faced were more favourites. But by being sure they can answer all the doubts directed at them.
I too feel that Manchester City are as much favourites for this game as Real Madrid. Manchester City were favourites in the last game, but I didn't detect a difference in the game. Probably Real Madrid played better and had more goalscoring chances. I don't know who will win the return game in England, I think the chances are the same. Probably the favourites for me are the visitors, they have much more experience.

The current bear market is it going to be temporary or a long term? for my fellow investors out there, how are you managing during this downturn? are you still holding onto your assets or buying more?
The time span of this current bearish market will be determined by what triggered it in the first place which is the Bitcoin network congestion. From what I am seeing here the mempool is not looking good cause the number of unconfirmed transaction keep increasing every second and until the mempool calms down I expect the bearish trend to continue.

I think it is too early to talk about a bearish trend, because nothing bad has happened, just a simple correction. I don't know if mem pool can influence bitcoin price. Most likely, the price went down because of some negative news, like fake news about US government selling confiscated bitcoins. But as you can see now, the price has started to recover.
924  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN BULL MAY BE IN TROUBLE on: May 15, 2023, 09:09:39 AM
Until now nothing big has happened in May, in fact the downward trend continues and there is a chance the price will fall below $25k, of course this is a good consideration to buy when the price is cheap, don't miss the opportunity to buy when the price is falling.
It seems you are not looking at the market today where Bitcoin is starting to gain some ground again to go towards $28K in the near future. Now try to stop by the market to see the price of Bitcoin so that you have a more correct assumption for this. Although in general there is nothing big this month for Bitcoin, but I don't think that Bitcoin will go below $ 25K this month. And I'll be waiting for your comments after you see the market today.
It is impossible to give a valuation for the market on the current day. Today bitcoin is up to 27.5k and tomorrow it could fall back to 25k. This can be affected by both good and bad news. Just because bitcoin rose again today doesn't mean anything. It needs to recover above 28k. By the way, May is usually a bad month for cryptocurrencies, so there is nothing special about a price drop in May.
925  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bear Market Reaches $27605 - Will the Downtrend Continue?" on: May 14, 2023, 06:08:33 PM
We’re probably at a real decisive point in this cycle. Are we transitioning into a new bull market as we now have less than 12 months to the next halving or are we still lingering in the last months of the bear market. Seems we had a sweep of below 26k & bounced a bit. Will be really interesting to see what happens in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully we can break 30k & stay above it in the second half of 2023.
The bear market ended in 2022 when bitcoin was at 15k. We have been in an uptrend for almost five months now. Now there has been a correction, as there have been several times this year. But it is wrong to call it a bear market and a trend change. Bitcoin is still almost twice as expensive as it was last November. There is no growth without corrections and that is normal.
926  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is going down. on: May 14, 2023, 05:07:42 PM
Double correction might occur soon and by soon I mean before summer starts and if that happens , my prediction about Bitcoin will almost be complete. We failed to break 30k$ range , we are back on 26-27k range and it looks like we cannot hold this area for long and Bitcoin is heading towards 20k or even lower but I do hope we won't get under 20k.

If you hold crypto , don't panic buy and don't panic sell. Forget about it and simply comeback next year where theoretically the bull run should be in full force right before the halv happens.
If you look at the chart, you can see that there have been several attempts to break 30k. I think that after the end of the current correction there will be another attempt to break this level. In summer there will be an official end to cryptocurrency ban in China, which should attract new investments to the market. I think this summer might be different from previous summers when the market was calm.
927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 14, 2023, 03:25:31 PM
I could not even believe it if spezia was able beating acmilan. It's a great achieved by milan. Im very glad to see that if spezia was able taking full points from acmilan. Spezia was not dominating the ball possessions but it was able making very effective counter attack against spezia. Im very glad to see that if spezia is able making the way for lazio to be qualified for UCL become even higher. Acmilan was making so many substitutions when it was losing against spezia but it's all useless as spezia's defensive lines could perform very solid.

Im very happy with the result that achieved by spezia. This is a big surprise for acmilan fans.  Cheesy Cheesy good job spezia.

The results of the match between Special and AC Milan were indeed very surprising. Who predicts that Special will win this match, I even predict that a draw is the best result for Special, but they can answer all the doubts of many people by winning this match.
AC Milan continues to have negative results that don't make them comfortable in their current position, even when that keeps happening it doesn't look like they will be in the top 4 at the end of the table this season.
For me, Milan's loss was no surprise. They have a second derby with Inter coming up. After the first defeat, Milan now face a very difficult task, almost impossible. Therefore, I think they are preparing for this game and even decided to give three points to Spezia, although the Serie A matches are just as important for them.
928  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do You trust Tether (USDT) Stablecoin? on: May 14, 2023, 12:34:43 PM
Controversial Stablecoin Tether always sounds shady. Some agencies audit its smart contract code and give clearance no vulnerability in the smart contract. But it doesn’t mean it'll last forever and never get freezed. Moreover Tether is first Centralized stablecoin, people are using this since years. Tether claimed they are backed by real dollar which still has no proof but maybe based on this statement people keep using it. Well decentralised stablecoin DAI can be use instead of usdt  IMHO
Tether reports quarterly on its activities and has regular profits. It is a large company with a large capitalisation. I would compare them to Binance. Of course you can't completely trust USDT, but I think they are more trustworthy in the market than other stablecoins. Especially after the collapse of LUNA and UST. By the way they are not fully backed by the dollar and have even written about it before.
929  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can we experience $80k this year? on: May 14, 2023, 11:43:00 AM
We are almost halfway through this year, when in March the price could touch $ 30k and make me optimistic that this year the market will rise and be able to make new ATH again, unfortunately there has been a correction for almost 2 months and there is a chance to continue to fall, if in May the price goes down again under $20k then it's very difficult to reach $80k this year.
It is impossible to reach a new ATH a year before halving. It usually happens one year after halving. If these four-year cycles are not broken, the new ATH and 80k can be in 2025. The main thing about this year is not to hit a new bottom, because it has been rising for four months in a row, which is a lot and now it might start falling rather than correcting.
930  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can NFTs last forever? on: May 14, 2023, 11:05:26 AM
NFT is just hype. All these picture collections won't be worth anything over time. There are already plenty of stories of people spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a few years ago and now having no more than a hundred dollars. So NFT is just speculation. The same story is happening now with meme coins. Someone will just lose money. But it will be something to remember.
There are countless of stories people buying altcoins and losing money, so are those also worth nothing over time? Everything in this space is speculation so that's not really an argument against nfts, it's an argument against all cryptocurrencies. It has been speculation from the start. No matter the marketcap or the meme lines people draw over the charts as TA. Everything can come down and burn. Just look at the top marketcap coins history
That's right, altcoins are also rubbish that lose value after a while. So far I don't know of any coin other than ETH that grows all the time like bitcoin. But NFT is an even riskier casino where you will almost certainly lose money. So my point is that it can't exist forever, unless it's on your wallet like a picture.

RM VS Getafe
Real Madrid is leading by one goal against Getafe after 72 minutes of playing in their La Liga home match. This goal was not so easy for Real Madrid. Real Madrid managed to score at the end of the game. 

Around 70 minutes into the game, Asensio created a chance to win for Real Madrid with a goal. When the starting XI players failed to score against Getafe, the starting XI players were substituted and the bench players were allowed to play and the bench players finally scored for the team.
I don't understand, are you using GPT? I would like to say that this match was an easy one for Madrid. But Getafe still have a chance of leaving the relegation zone, although they still have opponents from the top of the standings. Although Espanyol have one game in hand, they have less chance of success because they will have to play their next match against Barcelona.

SUI has more potential in the future, maybe up to 6$, 7$ like aptos. SUI's founders got massive investors over this target which got me thinking. maybe the next day there will be a new ATH for SUI, maybe for now it's good to buy and just wait for bitcoin which is currently being corrected.bitcoin halving is also approaching
I also think SUI is a potentially interesting project and might make it to the top of CMC in the future, but they have 10 billion coins and need to understand when they will unlock. It might happen that you buy $1 coins now and in half a year the price will drop due to the unlocking of the coins. So you should always research the tokenomics of new projects.

The match between villareal vs bilbao is still running now. Villareal was dominating the ball possessions. Bilbao can only fully defense against villareal. this match looks very attractive as villareal and bilbao was consistently making counter attack.
I think that villareal gonna win against bilbao. villareal really needs full points right now consider it must keep its position to be qualified for europa league next season.

It's hard to say which team that gonna take full points. Bilbao is also as strong as villareal. It can be seen from how solid the defensive lines from bilbao.


Villarreal had no problem showing who was boss on the field. The match was very interesting indeed. Six goals were scored, five of them by the hosts and there were a lot of yellow cards. There was a lot of fouls in Spain today, with Girona getting a red card. It will be interesting to see how Real Madrid play against Girona. They have a return match against Manchester City soon, maybe they will give points to the guests.
934  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: May 13, 2023, 04:17:50 PM
I thought Girona could make a surprise, but at now they are two score behind at there. Real Sociedad took the lead with a very good, they didn't waste any opportunity in scoring. Although this match is still long because we still have a second half, but Real Sociedad seems like they will be able to win, because 2-0 is a score that looks safe. Also they really dominated this match, but I still hope Girona can surprise in this match with a draw result because it will be more interesting if that happens.
The first half is over and the score is level at 2-2. It looks like Girona was able to prove its capacity against a team far above it and this is a pretty good result for Girona. In the second half we will see from one of these teams to secure victory by scoring 1 or 2 more goals, of course at this time Real Sociedad will be very pressured with the same level, for Girona this is an opportunity for them to turn things around in the second half later and steal 3 points away from Real Sociedad. Let's wait and see who will win this match, considering the chance to win is 50:50.
A very interesting match in this match because Girona is really very good when facing a club that is actually above them in terms of performance.
after being left behind by 2 goals they were even more challenged and they did 2 direct reply goals within 10 minutes.
Even though there were no additional goals in the second half, looking at the game they actually played very well because they kept trying to create opportunities and this was really interesting.
1 point is still good enough for both of them even though this broke the wins of the previous matches for Girona and Sociedad but still 1 point is still very decent for them if you look at the game they did in this match.
The 1 point is still good for Real Sociedad, but not for Girona FC as Real Sociedad gaps the closest rival (Villarreal) with wide points and it's impossible that they can be displaced from the fourth and enviable position till the season is over. But for Girona FC, at least three clubs could still displace them from their current level if care is not taken. Their points difference is too close, so I believe that they needed that match more.

However, they did well today as they were able to equalize without pressure, the professionalism was seen and were able to keep it at the draw even after Oriol Romeu was handed a red card.
A red card at the end of the match is not as bad as in the first half. Girona were probably able to draw because Sociedad are almost guaranteed to remain in the Champions League zone. In La Liga this season, the top 4 clubs in the standings with a big gap to the other teams. Whether Girona can keep their place in the standings is questionable for me.
935  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top 5 coins that will moon until summer on: May 13, 2023, 01:01:01 PM
I think ETH is one of the altcoins that will be pumping in the summer. ETH is one of the altcoins that has strong fundamentals so the potential for price increases is very high. Especially if the bitcoin halving later comes, the potential for the ETH price to print new ATH is very possible.
Summer is almost always a bad time for cryptocurrency. Usually in summer there is a sideways movement or a drop in prices. Ethereum has a very large capitalisation to show good growth this summer. It needs a stable market, and right now bitcoin is showing a correction, which is unclear how long it will last. The main thing is not to start a new bear market.
936  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: May 13, 2023, 11:12:32 AM
Atletico Madrid have done a pretty good job about reaching the 2nd spot in the standings. They can maintain this spot until the end of the season as well if they keep up their focus at this level. However their job on the last three weeks can be more difficult. Because their fixtures are like this consecutively:

- Espanyol (A)
- Real Sociedad (H)
- Villarreal (A)

Espanyol are trying to not relegate from the La Liga now. Real Sociedad and Villarreal are in a fight to qualify for some tournament next season. Especially Real Sociedad are getting close to making it to the Champions League groups. However even if Atletico Madrid get decent results and secure the 2nd spot they can still make some big changes to be more successful. I wonder if Simeone will be continuing to manage the team for example.

Atletico Madrid has really done more than enough, so far I give full credit to Diego Simeone who has brought them this far after talks of him leaving the club as a result of the bad performance and form they've been in the earliest stages of the season.
He seems like he still would be in control of the club next season as the head coach regardless of how he's managed them for the last decade.

Espanyol would face Barcelona on Sunday, I'm sure they'll make things so difficult for the Catalians to win the league on Sunday evening.
Simeone is the permanent coach of Atletico Madrid and I don't even know how long he has been at this club. I even remember him playing for Atletico. With him, the club has experienced both bad and good times. It seems to me that his leaving would have been bad for the club in any case, whichever coach took his place. Barcelona, for example, are familiar with such a story.

I think the increase in commissions was caused specifically to lower the price of bitcoin. I also noticed more than once that when bitcoin's mem pool gets clogged up, it means the price is about to drop. That's what happened this time too. All significant supports were broken, so I would not be surprised if we see the previous bottom again. It reminds me a lot of 2019.

So, what's the point of investing in NFTs if they can disappear in an instant? Unless all of the content is stored on the Blockchain itself, I don't see how NFTs will be able to last forever. Are there already solutions in the works that I'm not aware of? Please enlighten me on this. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley
Well, I don't know what makes people think that NFT is valuable because not even see it as worth buying. NFT projects have no future, hope I was wrong but as I see it, they got a name because of some influencers, not because of their market potential.
Though I take advantage of the situation during the hypes but never I think I have to hold them as I sell them while it was still tradable because now, nobody is about to buy them - they are just as sort of collections.
NFT is just hype. All these picture collections won't be worth anything over time. There are already plenty of stories of people spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a few years ago and now having no more than a hundred dollars. So NFT is just speculation. The same story is happening now with meme coins. Someone will just lose money. But it will be something to remember.
939  Economy / Speculation / Re: Best time for me to buy on: May 11, 2023, 09:13:43 AM
to buy small amounts at several points continuously can provide profit, because even if our assets go down, we continue to make purchases, and when the price of Bitcoin goes up there we will get profit. your strategy is pretty good and i think it's good to try.

Buying by implementing the DCA strategy in several stages is also good to do at any moment, but the problem now for some people is whether or not they dare to buy like that. Because some people are definitely more mindful of profits when they have bought and when they get a minus on the amount of money that has become cryptocurrency assets, some people no longer make purchases because maybe their courage is no longer the same as before they bought.

So this is what becomes an obstacle for some people when they want to buy continuously the same asset in different market conditions even though the strategy is very correct which does not need to worry about price declines which sometimes only last for a while.
DCA'ing is only really just that good when you do deal up with coins that does have that kind of potential or simply talks about top #10 or something but if we do speak about meme or shitcoins in the market then

it would never been that advisable.Speaking about buying time then this is mostly or should really be on the time that we do see that the market is really going down and not on when its pumping but if you are
really that after for long term then it wouldnt really be an issue no matter what price you did able to set in. Its up to yours whether you should be buying on a certain time or not.

It would be depending or according into your preference because not all would really be having that kind of confidence and courage on dealing up with a volatile market something like this.
Although if you wont really be taking up the risks then it would really be able to miss out opportunities to make some profits.
Now is a good opportunity to buy your favourite coins, which are cheap again. The risk will be rewarded in the future. Many are waiting for a bear market again, but no one knows for sure if the prolonged decline will be repeated now. Either way, when the real bulls arrive, current prices will seem like something unrealistic. If you don't buy now, a fomo will happen in a year or two.
940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: May 10, 2023, 03:37:38 PM
You have answered your own question. It's football and whoever scores the goals wins. Manchester City, for example, have never won a cup at all, but for some reason almost everyone believes they will win it this year. These are the final matches where you can expect any outcome.
You are right of course because football is a game, but also it is still very possible for me to find Manchester City failing to qualify for the final and win the second leg against Real Madrid. Even if Manchester City are playing at home, I think Real Madrid can be expected to play their best form to win. You know how dangerous Benzema and Vinicius are, both of whom are the best to shake off the Manchester City defence.

But if I can be honest, Real Madrid actually regretted the draw in the first leg because they failed to take advantage of their home ground to win the match. The gameplay is good, but Real Madrid gave Manchester City too many opportunities to develop their game. Madrid must adjust its strategy in the second leg if they want to reach the final in 3 consecutive seasons.


Milan now have a 25% chance of winning the Champions League. There may be no logic in the fact that they haven't won in a long time, but you can't deny that they're a contender to win. Cheesy
The Milan derby is certainly no less great than the Real Madrid vs Manchester City match yesterday. But regarding this match, Milan is expected to be able to maximize its home advantage to win. They have to win it and can't let Inter control the game. Maybe not many goals in this match, but I think 2-1 is a good score as my guess.
I have already written that Milan and Inter Milan play at the San Siro home stadium. This is the stadium of both clubs. Therefore, Milan will not have home advantage, which should make the match even more interesting. As for yesterday's game between Real Madrid and Manchester City, I liked Real more. Although Manchester City dominated more, Real had more dangerous chances. I hope that in Manchester they will be able to convert such chances.
