It is not a rumor, Chelsea confirmed that they already fired Poccetino. Have you checked the official site of Chelsea FC?

https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/club-statement-mauricio-pochettino

Yep, It is quite strange that Chelsea fired Poccetino when he can show the capability to improve the performance of Chelsea team. The proved it in the last 5 matches at the end of the season at least, they won all the last 5 matches. Even if it is illogical to sack Poccetino but Chelsea management has done it. Not sure what the real reason is, it may be about personal reason. 

Chelsea team will never be a successful team if the owner be egoistic. Each coach needs time to build a team, it is not an easy job. And hiring a top coach for Cheslea manager isn't easy, too. I'm sure it is impossible to hire Zidane, Conte, Klopp, or other available top coaches. It is just lucky that Poccetino wants to manage Cheslea team. Honestly, Chelsea owner disappoints many people!

It's absolutely true. Basically, everyone can trade as long as he knows how to buy and sell coins on exchanges. But it is not as simple as selling or buying coins only! To succeed in trading, it requires knowledge and experience. That's why it is very important to take some lessons first before we star trading any coins. People who never has the intention to take lessons, it is small chance to succeed. It is because to trade properly, we need to take some research or do analysis. These can't be done if we have no knowledge.  

Indeed. Many people become traders because they are dreaming to be rich people instantly. This is surely the wrong way, there is no instant way to be rich in trading. Those professional traders must spend a long time before they know well trading. It is just something impossible to master trading in few days or in few weeks. And we must accept challenges in trading, too. Sometimes we get losses, and sometimes the market trends can change easily. There are many unexpected things to happen that we must be patient to face them.

People prefer to choose Bitcoin because its high volatility. If the price is getting stable, people won't have a chance to earn high profits anymore. Sure, many people probably leave Bitcoin, they will move to something more profitable. However, I'm sure the price of Bitcoin won't be stable, it is uncontrolled and it is purely determined by the demand in the market. If we always have high demand of Bitcoin, the price will remain increasing.

Not everyone doesn't care the privacy. I think privacy can't be compared with money. If I must choose money and privacy, I surely will choose privacy.
I believe you will do the same, right? 

We don't know if sacking Pochettino is a good idea or bad idea. It depends on the result of the next season when the new coach is managing Chelsea. If it is worse than Pochettino, sacking Pochettino now is the wrong decision.

Well, I'm a bit surprised with this news. I see Chelsea got great performance, they won all the matches recently. We must admit that Chelsea became a solid team in the few last matches of this season. I think it is the sign that Pochettino will be safe as a Chelsea manager. But it is wrong, Chelsea sacked him. Even Chelsea finished in a better position this season.

I think it is not easy to bring back Chelsea to top 4. Just take a look Man United! The team even can't return to the top 6. It is not easy to rebuild a team like Chelsea and Man United. Chelsea management should understand that Pochettino did not a very bad job this season. Most of Chelsea players are new players, it makes sense if they need time to adapt with the new team and coach. Lately, they showed that they already adapt well! They showed a good progress by winning all the latest matches. IMO, Pochettino deserves to get another chance.

However, Chelsea already sacked him. Now, who will be the next coach?

Yep, I heard a rumor Chelsea is interested to sign Kompany. TBH, I don't think Kompany is better than Pochettino. Kompany has lack of experience and he doesn't really know Chelsea. Kompany was a player of Man City, not sure if he is capable to handle Chelsea players. If Chelsea really wants to finish in a better position, it is not enough by signing Kompany. Why don't plan of hiring a more experienced coach?  

Agree. It is surprising to see Napoli scoring 2 goals in the first half of the match. Lookman takes the advantage of the situation of Leverkusen players that looks overconfidence or too relaxed in the match. And I don't understand why Xabi Alonso doesn't use the main goalkeeper (Lukas Hradecky). As far as I know Lukas Hradecky is also the captain of Bayer Leverkusen. Also, I'm surprised there is no pure striker in the starting lineup. Just take a loot, no Patrik Schick and no Victor Boniface. This must be a big blunder made by Xabi Alonso if Leverkusen is defeated in this final match.

I think there will be no change until the end of the first half of the match. I'm sure the match is over if Atalanta can score another goal and make it to be 3 goals. I just hope Xabi Alonso will change Amine Adli with Victor Boniface in the early of second half of the match. Xabi Alonso needs to consider playing with 2 strikers to increase the chance of scoring goals. So, it is better to add Patrik Schick as well. Palacios can be replaced by Patrik Schick, it won't bring too much impact on the midfield because I see Leverkusen has strong midfielders. What they need is to strengthen their attacking line!! Leverkusen needs to play more offensive and more aggressive in the second half of the match.

Both Real Madrid and Dortmund deserve to win the title. They have performed impressively in UCL this season. Although Dortmund only finished in 5th place in Bundesliga, they showed something different in UCL. Sure, Real Madrid looks better, they also becomes the champion in La Liga. But I think the performance in domestic competition won't bring much impact for the UCL final match.

I also think it will be a tough match. Real Madrid looks having better attackers but Dortmund has strong defense. It won't be easy to beat Dortmund if they have no problem with injured players. A German team is very often unpredictable when it is in international match. Just remember that Real Madrid was almost defeated by Bayern Munich in semi-final! Real Madrid must be more careful to play against Dortmund although they are more experienced in the final UCL and have cool stats.

Ya, selama masih ada peluang tidak ada salahnya untuk mencoba. Apalagi siklus 4 tahunan ini sepertinya masih bisa terus berlanjut selama masih ada trigger halving setidaknya. Sayang kalau tidak dimanfaatkan karena cukup jelas antara waktu entry (bearish) and exit (bullrun). Tinggal sesuaikan saja waktunya untuk beli atau jual di periode yang mana. Tidak banyak investasi yang cukup jelas perulangan cycle nya seperti di Bitcoin ini.

Sama, saya juga sebagian pendapatan dari campaign signature dihold untuk aset long term. Misalnya dapat sekitar $80 per minggu, sudah cukup lumayan kalau sebagiannya disimpan (40$). Kalau diteruskan rutin selama 3-4 tahun, hasilnya pasti sudah cukup lumayan.

BTW harga BTC sempat naik ke $71.9xx kemaren. Hampir mencapai ke $72k.
Saya kurang paham ini pump karena isu apa, ada yang bilang karena isu ETF Ethereum*. Yang pasti ini cukup cepat naiknya setelah kemaren sempat turun ke $56k. Saya sempat mengira butuh beberapa bulan setidaknya supaya harga bisa balik ke atas $70k lagi, tapi ternyata cuman butuh waktu singkat. Sepertinya patternnya makin terlihat berbeda dengan siklus sebelumnya.

If you want to reinvest from shitcoins/memecoins/newcoins to the top coins with strong fundamentals, it is good idea. It means you relocate your funds to safer coins. I also already take profits on some coins that I assume they already hit the peak and look like difficult to continue increasing. Most of them are hype coins with weak fundamentals and new altcoins, these type of coins won't last a long time increasing their values. Even some new altcoins only increase the prices when it is launched in the exchange for the first time, after that they tend to decrease their values.

However, it is also good if you divide the profits. A half convert to USDT and the rest to reinvest to top coins. In this way, you can safe some profits but you still can continue to invest in safe coins. Sometimes, I choose this way if I think it won't be a really good time for using all the funds for collecting more coins. Just take a research first, it will help you to take a better decision!! Good luck... 

Yep. Nowadays, everyone can gamble anywhere through online gambling. Even, people can gamble from home and no one knows it. The online gambling supports the privacy of gamblers. So this convenience triggers more people can join gambling. Because they don't have to worry or feel embarrassed, they can gamble without anyone knows it. Sure, this finally makes more money flows to the gambling or casino sites.

Indeed. In gambling, people can win or lose in the games. It is the fact, there should always the winners. So, it is untrue if you think gambling is a place to lose money only. In reality, there are people who can win huge money from gambling. However, people may not win or get money every time. The should be the time for losses, it is impossible if we expect to always win in gambling.

Al Nassr management must evaluate their squad. It is impossible if they will keep playing like this season. Al Nassr has the money to buy new players, they must try to strengthen their squad. If we look at the stats, Al Nassr already have strong attackers but they have no strong midfielders and defenders. In the next transfer windows, no doubt Al Nassr must try to sign few players to improve the quality of their defense and midfield line. Sure, it will be always not easy to compete for the title although Al Nassr has improved their squad. But the chance should be higher if Al Nassr improves their weakness.

Besides the quality of the coach, the ages of star players in the team can have a big influence. If we look at the squad quality, Al Hilal actually has better players if we consider the ages. Al Hilal star players are in their prime ages (all of them are below 30 years old), but Al Nassr star players look quite old. This can be one of the reasons why it looks quite difficult for Al Nassr to compete with Al Hilal. The physical of younger players must be stronger than older players.

Just take a look the average ages of Al Hilal star players: Rúben Neves (27), Milinković-Savić (29), Michael (28), Malcom (27), and Mitrovic (29). Meanwhile AL Nassr star players: Ronaldo (39), Mane (32), Talisca (30), Telles (31), Laporte (29), and Ospina (35).

Besides hiring a better coach, I expect Al Nassr will sign younger European players in the next transfer windows.

Yep. In the second half of the match, it seems Bologna turned to play not as aggressive as in the first half. You're right, they may assume that they already won the match because they were leading with many goals (3 goals). Unfortunately, it makes Juventus to have more opportunities to score goals. Juventus didn't miss the opportunities, they equalize the score and forced Bologna to end the match with a draw result. It was a great come-back done by Juventus players. But it is not enough to overtake the position of Bologna in the 3rd place.  

Indeed. There are 5 teams from Serie A to play in UCL for the next season. Inter, Milan, Bologna, Juventus, and Atalanta are safe to finish the season in UCL zone. Since there is 1 match only before the end of the season, there will be no change of the top 5 in Serie A table. AS Roma seems to have no chance to chase Atalanta because Atalanta probably will secure 3 points in the match against Torino. 1 more win is enough to secure Atalanta position in UCL zone.

Anyway, it is true that Serie A is lucky to have 5 spots in UCL. The new UCL rule benefits the teams from Serie A and the Bundesliga this season.

Don't do a panic selling, keep holding, and buy more when we have money. This is what we can do! 

Actually, Bitcoin can increase its price when there is higher demand on the market. As long as people view it as a positive asset and it is supported by many good news, it won't be difficult for Bitcoin to increase its price. Sometimes, the bad news is the obstacle of Bitcoin to reach another fantastic price. Bad issues made by SEC, is one of the reasons that Bitcoin price dropped massively lately. However, I believe Bitcoiners won't be influenced by the bad issues. We will keep holding and wait for the new ATH crossing $100k. 

Adoption and popularity won't have a massive impact in a short time. The increase of demand on crypto market tend to be a better trigger for the price to skyrocket. You can see the price suddenly raising high when there is a top company or popular people who buy Bitcoin in a large number. Big players of whales action in the market will impact more instantly.

Since both saving and investment are necessary, why we must choose one of them?
If it is possible, I suggest to have both saving and investment. Saving will be aimed for reserved funds, investment has a target to earn profits. In this way, we won't be worried about having fresh money to use at any time and we also have the allocation in the investments for earning more money. I'm sure everyone will have both of them as long as they have enough money.

In saving, we may lose the value of money but it won't be very significant. True, it is caused by the inflation, it is something unavoidable due to the worse situation of the world's economic and financial system. However, we can't rely on investment only to secure our financial. We don't forget that investment has a potential of losing money, too. Investment isn't a way to get profits automatically. Even, in investment, the chance to lose money is higher. Specifically for the investment with high risk such as crypto investment, we don't fully rely on it. Spreading the funds on some fields is the best way, including put some of the funds as saving. Bitcoin, real estate, lands, and gold are some options to diversify our wealth. Don't only maintain your wealth in Bitcoin although you understand the cycle! We need to have other sources, make sure to have 3-4 sources of our wealth.

All people don't believe it because Real Madrid defense looks too easy to be destroyed. It was so much different from the first half of the match, Villareal players were difficult to score goals. They only could score a single goal during the first half of the match. I think, Real Madrid players still player normally in in the first 45 minutes.

I think Villareal played as usual, they didn't show an extraordinary strength. It is just about Real Madrid game, they no longer played aggressively in second half of the match. Because Real Madrid gave a chance for Villareal players to attack, Villareal could score 3 goals in second half of the match. Maybe Real Madrid players feel the match is over when they were leading with 3 goals. They also think they already won the title of La Liga. However, it is not a really good result if Real Madrid share points with Villareal.

It means Arsenal still experienced the same problem. They have a lack in consistency, they could performed very impressive in few matches but it can turned to be bad performance in the next matches. Arsenal already lead the EPL standings for a long time in this season, sadly they decreased their performance when it was in second half of the season. Sure, this is the same problem happening in the last season. It is quite confusing why Arsenal always failed to keep their stability in performance.  

Indeed. Man City players have a better mentality. They can come back although they got bad results in the first half of the season. After they can return to the top of the EPL standings, they know well how to survive. They never miss the points again and keep the point gap until the end of the season. This is about winning mentality, Arsenal players still have no this mentality.

It shouldn't be a big reason to fire Xavi. It is normal if Xavi said the current Barcelona squad isn't strong enough to compete for the tittle with Real Madrid. It is the fact!! Lets' take a look at Barcelona squad, they have lack of experienced players. Their attacking and defense have not enough quality players. Xavi only can add new players from Barcelona academy. This condition makes Xavi frustrated. Barcelona management set a target to win trophy but Xavi can't have enough good players in Barcelona squad. It is like an impossible mission, right?  

Barcelona can deal with the crisis if Barcelona gets a new owner of the club. The rich people from Saudi may be interested to invest their money into Barcelona. Man City is the example of a successful club after they got a new owner.

You mean circle or cycle?  
If you mean cycle, it is the fact that Bitcoin always reaches a new ATH in each cycle. In the current cycle, $73k is a new ATH. Whether we may have another ATH in this cycle, it is a temporary ATH we have at least.

Sure, we only can speculate about the price movement. We have no ability to know the exact movement of Bitcoin price in the future. It is surely possible to have another ATH but it is also not impossible to fail achieving another ATH until the cycle is over. We must always remember about the fundamental of Bitcoin price, it will be always unpredictable. That's why we must have some plans for our Bitcoin investment. Don't rely on a single plan!!

Bitcoin never reached or crossed $100k.
There is no one who can guarantee that Bitcoin can reach $100k sooner or later. We only can predict or speculate about it.
I know we all are very curious to see Bitcoin achieving $100k. But we must know that Bitcoin price is always growing based on the pure demand on the market, it is unpredictable and can't be controlled. So whether it really can reach $100k, it will depend on the demand on the market in the future.

If you only invest in Bitcoin, you don't really need to know about how Bitcoin functions as a currency. Just let people argue about Bitcoin whether it works as a currency or not, we don't need to be confused with them. As long as investing in Bitcoin is legal in our country, it is enough as the reason to invest in Bitcoin. But if we want to use it as a payment tool, it is important to understand how Bitcoin works as a currency. We also needs to know its legality in our country. There are countries that legalize Bitcoin investment, but they forbid the use of Bitcoin as a payment tool.

By the way, we must know everything about Bitcoin first before we invest in Bitcoin. It is quite strange if we brave to invest in Bitcoin when we are not sure what Bitcoin is. Knowing Bitcoin isn't only about how it can be used as a currency. We must know everything about it, we even need to learn how the history of Bitcoin and its potential in the future.

Other things that we must do when we invest in Bitcoin:
1. Know the best place to store/keep Bitcoin
2. Know the cycle of bearish-bullish
3. Understand the halving impacts
4. Understand the best time to entry (buy) and exit (sell)
5. Update the information about Bitcoin issues

Do the teens play gambling at schools?  
In my country, students even can't use their smartphone at schools. So, how they can gamble?

I'm not sure if the teens gamble at school, they must gamble at home or whenever they go after schools. Their parents are the people who must take the responsibility to give the education of preventing this case. We can't give the responsibility to the schools because it is not a part of the subjects at schools. Moreover, it will be easier to deal with the problem if the parents who prevent the teens. Parents must know well the habits of the teens when they are not in the schools.

Anyway, if it is about online gambling, the problems is on the smartphone. It is the parents who can limit the use of the smartphone. They must monitor the smartphones of the teens. Always check everything the teens do with their smartphone.

I agree with you. It is not caused by the curse, Kane is just unlucky. Kane still has a chance to succeed with Bayern Munich, he doesn't fail yet as long as he has a chance. If he still can't win the trophy, it is just a challenge for him. This will motivate him more, Kane won't stop to try winning any trophies with Bayern Munich.

Indeed. Tottenham isn't likely a club that can win any trophy. Tottenham is a part of big teams in EPL but their squad quality are not enough to compete with bigger team like Man City, Arsenal, and Liverpool. In the era of Kane was a part of Tottenham player, those 3 teams are dominating the domestic competitions in England. Meanwhile in Bundesliga, it it true that Leverkusen becomes a very strong team when he joined Bayern Munich. So, Leverkusen wins all the domestic trophies. In UCL, they almost reached the final but they were unlucky that Tuchel did a mistake.

Sure, Bayern Munich will have a chance to win the trophies again. However, I'm not sure how big the chance to win the trophies. It depends on how Tuchel and Bayern Munich management can rebuild the squad of Bayern Munich.
