First, an unexpected result in the EL final match, now something similar happened in the FA Cup final, I didn’t expect such a first half from City, and Ortega’s mistake also played a role. What decision will the Manchester United owners make now, will they fire ten Hag or give him another chance? On the one hand, 8th place in the Premier League is the worst result that Manchester United has ever achieved, but on the other hand, Manchester United were not left without a trophy and beating City is a good end to the season.
Manchester United's hoped-for win did come true, but it's no guarantee that Ten Hag will be given much of a chance to prove himself next season. Ten Hag has certainly led Manchester United to play in the Europa League after winning the FA Cup, but his team's performance this season may be the reason why he will be sacked.

I know that Manchester United's poor performance this season is not purely Ten Hag's fault. He had done everything within his power, but the player's performance did not really help his plans. Manchester United have been very inconsistent, made worse by numerous injuries to key players. It is a serious problem that is the reason why Manchester United has looked uncompetitive this season.

In the Europa League final, everyone was shocked by the end result, although many thought Leverkusen should have won... Probably now there are also predictions that Dortmund can take the title, but Real got to the final by beating very serious opponents... I think that in the final Real will not make any mistakes and will win in the main time, but I do not exclude that there may be a penalty shootout...
Real Madrid very rarely loses in the Champions League final, if one expects Real Madrid to fail to win the title, then don't let them reach the final. Real Madrid can almost always be guaranteed to win the Champions League title every time they are in the final, it is not a coincidence or luck, but a tradition that we often see as a reality.

But can Real Madrid still be beaten? Of course you can, but it's really hard to expect them to lose in the final stages. The Europa League Final and the FA Cup Final teach us something, that not all favorites can win. It might be good to consider whatever risks Real Madrid faces in the final, I mean a double chance (Real Madrid wins or draws in 90 minutes) might be better instead of choosing Real Madrid to win.

Man United success in winning the FA Cup trophy was a surprise, because before the match started, Man City was the favorite, the match ended with a score of 2-1. Man City dominated the match with ball possession of 74%, a fairly high percentage and they should have won the match, this time Man United was considered very lucky. Besides that, many bettors will definitely experience losses in this match, a reminder for everyone that there are always surprises in football. The FA Cup trophy can at least give Man United fans a little comfort, after ending the Premier League season in 8th place.

Meanwhile, speculation about Ten Hag future at Old Trafford is still full of question marks, even though Ten Hag himself has said that he will remain Man United manager next season. Many hope that Ten Hag will be fired, because he failed to manage the club to develop for the better as a whole. For Man City, today failure is certainly disappointing, and Pep Guardiola squad must recognize the greatness of their city rivals in the FA Cup. Man City seemed to have failed to play as effectively as usual, and Man United showed greater ambition and desire to win the trophy.
We have seen two favorite teams lose in the final match, including Manchester City (FA Cup) and Leverkusen (European League). This is another lesson for anyone who often bets a lot of money on favorite teams in a match, the fact is that not all of them can give you the win as expected.

Manchester United's victory in the FA Cup this season was expected, but it is true that Manchester City is the favorite because of their good squad and performance. Unfortunately, Manchester City made many mistakes in defense which resulted in conceding 2 goals, while they failed to take advantage of golden opportunities to score goals. Jeremy Doku had time to reduce the deficit, but it was a goal that was too late to get Manchester City a comeback before the match was over.

After all, this is the 13th FA Cup title for Manchester United. Last season Manchester City were title winners, while this season Ten Hag proved his revenge was avenged.

It seems that opportunity has been lost because Alexander Sorloth had to be pulled out and replaced by Jose Luis Morales because he suffered an injury in the middle of the game. So it is certain that Artem Dovbyk will be the top scorer this season with 24 goals. The big 7-0 win over Granada provided a smooth path for Artem Dovbyk to win the title, as in that match he was able to score a hat trick after getting 2 penalties. Jude Bellingham and Lewandowski still have a chance to snatch the title, but it looks like it will be difficult to realize it. The gap is too wide, and there is a possibility that Jude Bellingham will not play in the full game because Real Madrid still has the Champions League final to face.
I'm really sure no one really expected Jude Bellingham to score 5 goals to match Artem Dovbyk's goal tally at the top of the top scorer standings. Ancelotti will not force Jude Bellingham to play full time in the Week 38 match, of course because Bellingham will be prepared to face Dortmund in the Champions League final.

Artem Dovbyk will be the top scorer this season although there is a possibility that the gap in the number of goals between Bellingham and him will become smaller if Ancelotti plays Bellingham against Real Betis. 5 goals is too high to catch with only 1 game left, but it's possible.

Well I do think there is alot of people that thinks we will see this price in 2025. There is alot of us hodlers that did think we would see it before that.

I did think it was going to be this year and we do not know it still might reach 100k before year is over. In this year of 2025 price per Bitcoin will be more then this price 100k I do think.
At least there is still a lot of hope to see the price of bitcoin reach $100k in 2024 considering we still have 7 months left on the calendar. Many things can be expected to happen in the next 7 months including reaching $100k for the price per bitcoin, but it could be lower and it could also be higher. Everything is still very possible and we have certainly been waiting for it, but to make it a reality the market really needs a greater flow of money than it is now.

For now, large investors may still very well consider buying more bitcoins and accumulating them. Others may shrug it off as too high, but I'm still very optimistic about 2x to 3x for bitcoin prices over 2024 to 2025.

Forcing others to invest in anything they don't understand is never good. Bitcoin investment is never the same as investing in other physical assets such as gold, land or property, so apart from having to teach them the basics of investment, you also have to teach them how to secure their wallets and assets.

Nothing should be forced and I don't think you are responsible for someone else's financial future which should be your own responsibility. Of course you can tell anyone about good investment choices, but don't be responsible for any decisions that shouldn't be yours. The point I want to say is, don't force other people to invest, but you can tell them which investment assets are good and have potential. Let them learn, but you can also be a mentor without having to be responsible for whatever happens to them in the future.

Agree with you, borrowing money to gamble is a mistake because we don't know whether we will win or maybe we will lose, and it is true that if we win it is easy to return it immediately, but if we lose then we will be confused and anxious about how to get the loan money back immediately.
And I really agree with you that if we are addicted to gambling then we might forget to immediately return the loan money because we are already easily tempted by all the types of games that exist and we see it directly and over time then we will definitely object or have difficulty immediately return the loan money.
Regardless of how you get your budget for gambling, the big consequence you have to bear is losing that budget because you lose. There is no guarantee of winning, in fact your chances of losing can be very high compared to the chances of winning in luck-based games.

If someone decides to indulge in gambling, then they should be wise enough in spending their money. Being too greedy in gambling is not good at all and many gamblers even go bankrupt just because they are too confident in their chances of winning. Gambling winnings do not depend on how often you gamble, but they depend heavily on luck except in some skill-based games.

It is also generally discussed in European leagues that Leverkusen is the favorite candidate before the match starts, but Atalanta is able to make a surprise. Real Madrid does have everything and of course they will be the favorites, but if Dortmund can play neatly and solidly it doesn't require the possibility that they will experience the same thing. I hope Dortmund don't defend completely because if they do that Real Madrid will be very free to play the ball in the central area.

Dortmund must also take the initiative to attack so that Real Madrid's defense becomes busier and this step will make the match run with high tension. Emotional control also needs to be applied because usually Real Madrid will disturb opposing players with tricks like this.
Reflecting on how Dortmund beat PSG in the semifinals, it is possible that they will also repeat the same thing in the final against Real Madrid. It's true that Dortmund are not favorites in the final, but saying they can't win the game is like forgetting something that could happen.

Real Madrid is superior in many ways, including squad depth and experience, but Dortmund, who have big ambitions to achieve success in the final, will certainly work hard and make their dreams come true. I was impressed by Dortmund's performance as they emerged from a tough group stage as group winners. Dortmund beat PSV in the round of 16, they beat Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals, then beat PSG in the semifinals, everything was done on the basis of hard work and struggle.

Almost all of the casino market their business in that platform so expect that there would be a lots of updates will be posted on X since this is widely used by a lot of people globally and its good to install their presence since they could make their business more reachable to global audiences. Also I feel amaze for current partnership they have done with McGregor since this is really a big thing in industry and showing something more fun on entertaining interaction to people adds more excitement to people especially those people want to test out how everything goes with duelbits. Maybe we could see more livestreams and lots of good things will be posted on X. I also make sure to turn on my notifications there to make sure to get updates about latest happenings.
Social media is needed for promotion and a wider target market, of course platform X is one of the most hoped for. I also think that all casinos in this industry will also maximize their marketing on social media, of course there will be interest in coming and trying these services which will ultimately generate more traffic.

Social media is the same as their promotion on bitcointalk, but not all gamblers on social media are interested in cryptocurrencies because maybe they still tend to use fiat. After all, many other casinos do it too, it's normal and important to maintain.

Atalanta deserve the win because they came into this game as the underdog, against a team that has not lost in 51 games and they totally dominated the game against them. Ademola Lookman makes history by helping Atalanta win their first major trophy and also by scoring a sensational hattrick in this European final. Bayer Leverkusen could not just find a way through the Atalanta defense, they defended well, and even Xhaka could not find the opportunity to control the midfield. Maybe Bayer Leverkusen were too confident entering the game, but their performance was not the usual as we have seen them play this season.

With Ademola Lookman helping Atalanta to their first major trophy and scoring three major goals in the finals, it is possible that he wins the award for the best African player award after Victor Osimhen.
Leverkusen's defeat in the final once again emphasized that the favorite team is not always able to win even though they have the greatest unbeaten record. Atalanta managed to prove that everything many people had previously said was wrong, of course regarding the opportunities and insults directed at them.

There is no guarantee for any team to win the title in the final even if they previously had a good performance. Atalanta were just a good team on their way to the final this season, but they did not come into the final as favourites. But in the end, Atalanta succeeded in winning the Europa League title this season.

But sometimes a team like Dortmund just needs luck when facing Real Madrid and of course most people want to see that happen. If we talk about it as a whole, of course Real Madrid will still be the undisputed favorite and perhaps once again Marco Reus will accept the bitter reality of not being able to win his first Champions League title.

This farewell will make the Los Blancos squad's performance even brighter and they will have more reason to win this title for Kroos who is about to retire. On the other hand, Modric will also be very emotional when Casemiro left him two years ago and soon he will also be left behind by his midfield partner, Kroos. It will be a sad yet happy season for Modric if he can win it once again with Kroos.
Leverkusen are favorites for the Europa League title this season and most observers agree on that. Many benchmarks in the analysis are believed to be a plus for Leverkusen to win the title, but the opposite is true. Atalanta beat Leverkusen with a score of 3-0 and that surprised many people considering Atalanta was underestimated. Atalanta won the Europa League title because of struggle, good cooperation and good tactics, so it's not just about luck.

Real Madrid could experience the same thing this season in the Champions League final. Real Madrid is really considered the favorite because of its current performance, but this is not a guarantee to ensure that Real Madrid can actually win the match. No one knows what will happen in the final, Real Madrid is still very likely to lose even though they have a record of many titles.

I feel like we haven't seen a crash hard yet because we are in the bull run period, not saying that we are in the bull run exactly, but it is definitely the same period. Which is why I think it feels like we are going to end up with something that will take a while.

I do hope that we are going to see a greater return, it may not be all that easy to handle, but it does feel like we are going to see a greater result one way or another. So that means that we may not see a crash all the way until late 2025, where the bull run would probably end, or even early 2026 could be a date. That is because in 2026 it is expected to be another bear year, just like 2018 was and just like 2022 was, every four years it's a cycle we have.
History can still be expected to repeat itself, but we never know when. Even this time, bitcoin's new ATH occurred before the halving and this has never happened before in history. A holder who already owns 10 btc today will very likely become a millionaire in the coming bullish period, but diversification could make it quicker for them, or it could slow it down.

I strongly believe that bitcoin will not lose too much in price in 2024 to 2025, but price volatility is very possible. Prices rising and falling for one reason or another are normal, but economic, political and other situations can have an impact on the market.

I think he masters Bitcoin much better than most beginners because from the information you gave, he has quite mastered it. If he can repeat this pattern, I'm sure he will become a reliable investor, as long as he doesn't panic when the market experiences a correction and he knows how to accumulate properly using slightly smaller funds. Beginner investors do not have much experience and usually they will only utilize long-term patterns for investment strategies.
I'm not sure if he could repeat the same pattern after he exited and made his profit. But I can confirm that his capital budget had become $1k which would have allowed him to earn more bitcoin had he re-bought at the same low price.

Swing trading can be used by traders to multiply their capital, which will most likely be even greater if the trader succeeds in doing it very wisely. I have seen so many traders start with small capital and turn it into large capital over a period of time, but this is never easy because you have to be able to analyze the market and take advantage of its volatility. Such a trading strategy is good, but I think the trader must be active enough in monitoring price movements or current market conditions to be able to get opportunities.

Atalanta and Leverkusen have a similar seasonal consistency, they kept in position to fight for top four finish. Xabi Alonso has changed Leverkusen to be a powerhouse in Bundesliga and Europa League. This season, Leverkusen is not only different, but also having a remarkable season that is almost impossible to compete with.

Despite anything can happen in football, I don't think Head to Head history is accurate to to determine the chances of who deserves to be the favorite while Leverkusen is having a freak season. However, the latest performance is more rational to analyze the chance. Atalanta is having their peak form this season with a long winning streak that leads them to have big chance to finish top four, but they fail to win Copa Italia by lost to Juventus. Leverkusen is in a high morale to gain their biggest achievement in the history of the club, this kind of spirit is scary to play against.
Of course, recent team performance is the most realistic thing to use as a benchmark in determining both teams' title chances, but ignoring H2H completely is also unjustified. I have seen many teams play very badly in a season but they have a good performance when they face an opponent they often beat in their head-to-head record. It seems simple, but there are many teams who always want to maintain their H2H record and this will also motivate Atalanta to do better.

Even though I am aware that Leverkusen is the favorite in the final, because Atalanta has a pretty good record and performance, both teams have their own chances of winning. Many users are optimistic about Leverkusen, but in football this kind of optimism may not always correspond to what is expected as the final result of a match.

There are still 10+ days before the 2023/24 UCL Final is held, Dortmund has a longer rest time than Madrid because Bundesliga has finished. Meanwhile, Madrid still has a schedule against Real Betis on May 26. Madrid has a better chance of winning than Dortmund, that is what most people believe. If you look at the probabilities released by Google, Madrid has a 60% chance, not 50% anymore and made them as favorites to win the trophy.



This is makes sense and I agree with this probability, on paper Madrid has superior players. Will there be any surprises from Dortmund? I'm not sure. but nothing is impossible
Concerns about Real Madrid's defeat in the Champions League final will certainly exist among fans and anyone who actually makes analysis, but these people seem so optimistic about Real Madrid's victory that it seems like they are underestimating Dortmund and the opportunity.

I certainly agree that on paper Dortmund and Real Madrid are very different, especially regarding the depth of the squad and the experience of each of the two coaches in the Champions League and the final. Ancelotti is better in the upcoming clash than Edin Terzić, but one of the two coaches will surely be lucky in the final regardless of the experience and depth of his squad.

We can't yet guess who will be the winner and how the final match will go, whether it will only take 90 minutes of normal time or have to enter a 2X15 minute extra time round, maybe it will have to continue to a penalty shootout. But one thing is certain, Leverkusen and Atalanta will beat each other for a trophy. Of course Leverkusen will be the most favored team to win the trophy for one strong reason, they have not been defeated so far since the season started.

Atalanta could be the first team to give Leverkusen their first defeat or vice versa, Leverkusen managed to win their second trophy this season as well as opening up the opportunity to win the Treble winner. Leverkusen hard work so far has made them succeed in breaking records that have never been achieved before, now they will try to break another record to complete the success achieved this season.
Atalanta and Leverkusen have met in the European League in the last few seasons. Atalanta won the match 4-2 on aggregate both at home and away. Leverkusen's season is certainly different, but the previous H2H matches can be taken into consideration to determine the chances of who deserves to be the favorite.

Based on the team's recent performance, Leverkusen is very much the favorite. Their unbeaten record is one source of encouragement for Xabi Alonso's squad to finish the season with the Europa League title, but of course Atalanta has the same ambition, especially having had experience facing the same team in the 2022 season. Even though Leverkusen are favorites, Atalanta cannot be underestimated in this season's final.

It doesn't matter if there will be more Real Madrid or Dortmund supporters in the stands because it is clear, basically Real Madrid has a very good winning mentality. Therefore, even though for example there will be more Dortmund supporters in the stands but still, Real Madrid will still be able to play well. However, that doesn't mean I underestimate Dortmund,  but in reality Real Madrid has better quality. Therefore, of course it is not surprising that in reality Real Madrid is also the favorite team to win, but of course Dortmund will also do their best, and so any team it will still not be easy to win in a final match like this.
Head-to-head statistics between Dortmund vs Real Madrid are as follows, especially in the Champions League.

  • In the last 14 meetings between Dortmund and Real Madrid, Dortmund was only able to win 3 matches. Real Madrid won 6 matches, the rest were draws in 5 match.

Based on these H2H statistics, I dare to say that Real Madrid is the team that will win the final match this season. But the match is certainly expected to be very tight because Dortmund's performance this season has been very good. Dortmund are definitely desperate to win the Champions League title this season, but their low odds don't make many people put much faith in them.

When I checked the final result of Villarreal vs Real Madrid, I was surprised that the match ended in a 4-4 draw because Real Madrid was leading Villarreal by 1-4 at halftime. I will say this happened because Real Madrid has already won the La Liga title this season, and they are just playing for fun. Secondly, the reason why Sørloth was able to score four goals against Real Madrid is because most of Real Madrid's first eleven didn't feature in this match.
Villarreal made an extraordinary comeback at home after trailing 1-4 in the first half. The most impressive thing about this match is, Sørloth scored 3 goals in a very short time between minutes 48 to 56, another goal was scored in the first half.

I don't think Real Madrid didn't take this game seriously, but their defense was very poor especially in the second half. Real Madrid really looked good in the first half, but Villarreal changed everything in the second half and managed to prevent defeat. But fortunately, Real Madrid did not suffer a defeat because otherwise it would have been their second defeat this season in La Liga.

Honestly Manchester City managed to win the league,  if Arsenal had not lose one of their games to Aston Villa they would have won the title this season.  Manchester City winning the league was not easy compare to last season. In last season I think Manchester City won the league with several points more than arsenal but in this season Manchester City was just trying to get some point to be ahead of Arsenal.  If Manchester City had made any slight mistake in their games would have been opportunity for arsenal but I think Manchester are very lucky this season again.

Arsenal have done well in their performance this season, with what they have achieved this season they have good chances of winning the league soon. I think with all this games Arteta is having mich experience on how to be able to win titles. Next season is another opportunity for arsenal to go for the title again.  I really appreciate the effort,  performance of Arsenal,  even if they were not able to win the title, I'm okay with their performance. If Arsenal can still maintain a performance like this winning titles won't be a problem for them. Arsenal will continue the race for the title next season and they will surely get it.
Last season Arsenal and Manchester City were 5 points apart in the title race, but this season the points gap between Arsenal and Manchester City is only 2 points. The number of points collected by Arsenal and Manchester City this season is slightly more, which means that both teams have both improved in performance. Arsenal failed to win in important matches towards the end of the season, meanwhile Manchester City appeared very consistent with a total of 8 consecutive wins towards the end of the season.

Arsenal's defeat to Aston Villa really affected Arsenal this season. Manchester City realized that well and took advantage of their opportunities perfectly. Manchester City has a better winning mentality as defending champion than Arsenal, but there will come a time when Manchester City will not be able to maintain it in the coming seasons.

Instead they do only buy when its pumping. lol

Predicting on what would be the price in year 2030 is something that would really be that so hard and just like been said by others that even predicting on what would be the price on tomorrow
would already be that hard. How much more into those upcoming years to come? There's so much thing that could happen along the way on which it would really be that so hard
to tell on what would happen. This is why actions would really be that differentiating to each other.
You can use several indicators to carry out analysis and determine where the price of bitcoin is heading for different TFs. It's true, it's difficult to predict prices especially since bitcoin is completely uncontrolled. Prices can move in any direction and can even reverse direction quickly for one reason or another.

If you are a holder, then keep holding. Bitcoin has never promised big returns to its investors, but growing investor interest and adoption over time will create higher demand which in turn makes the price more expensive. Set higher targets and keep your psychology in check with market dynamics, I think there will be a right time to get those returns in the long term.
