It is simple, because Bitcoin is the number 1 coin in crypto for many years. 
No altcoins have the same uniqueness as Bitcoin, no altcoins have the same role as Bitcoin in crypto space.
Moreover, Bitcoin is the most recommended coin for investment because the price history tells us how good its price growth over many years. And the cycle of bearish and bullish period of Bitcoin is clear enough for me.

What altcoins can be better over Bitcoin?
So far, no altcoins that can be a competitor for Bitcoin. Even Ethereum never can compete with Bitcoin to be the number 1 coin in crypto space.

I think AC Milan was still quite competitive, they could finish the season as the runner-up (second place). AC Milan even could beat Juventus although Juventus looked quite convincing to compete for the title in the first half of the previous season. In the second half of the previous season, AC Milan could perform better than Juventus. At the end of the day, Juventus dropped its position in the 3rd place and AC Milan overtook their position in the 2nd place. If AC Milan wasn't quite competitive, they won't be a runner-up.

However, AC Milan squad looks unconvincing for this season. They have no strong strikers and there are no strong midfielders as well. If AC Milan failed to sign a top striker as the successor of Giroud, I really doubt that AC Milan only can struggle in middle of the Serie A standings. It is very unfortunate that AC Milan is going to be a mediocre team. So, they must get some new players to strengthen their squad again.

Actually AS Roma has the money to buy stronger defenders. De Rossi must realize that they still have weak defense. So, they should take the advantage from the transfer windows, they must sign some strong defenders. They couldn't improve their performance if they only strong in attacking and midfield, their defense must be stronger too.

The result of the matches
Romania 0-3 Netherlands
Austria 1-2 Turkiye

If you analyze the quality of Romania and Netherlands squad, there is no way that Romania will win the match. All Romania players are only average players, meanwhile all Netherlands players are top players who play in big teams in Europe. The result of the match clearly showed the different level of the team. TBH, it is surprised that you were confident that Romania will win the match.

Turkiye won the match as expected. But it is interesting that all the goals made by Merih Demiral (a centre-back). Instead of expecting to see the goals made by attackers, all the goals were scored by a central defender. However, Arda Guler contributed well again in this match, he could make 1 assist for the second goal of Merih Demiral.

Yep. I also think Real Madrid will play again with their past formation 4-3-3. With this formation, Mbappe will be a centre-forward, Vinicius and Rodrygo will play as wingers. All of them will play in their best position, so they can play optimally. I am very sure Ancelotti will put the players into their best position in order to make them playing comfortably.

4-4-2 was just an alternative formation because Real Madrid has no strong striker (centre-forward) last season. Now, Real Madrid has Mbappe as a strong striker, they can return to their best formation again. With the formation 4-3-3, Real Madrid can be very strong in a counter attack tactic, they also can play more offensive.

Indeed. Ancelotti is a brilliant coach and he is very experienced. He must know how to plan the best formation for Real Madrid players. Ancelotti is well known as a friendly coach and he really understands what the players want. If in the last season some players play in a new position, it was because Ancelotti has no other choice.

Sure, Ancelotti will put Mbappe in the best position to score goals as many as possible. The position of striker (centre-forward) will be the best position for Mbappe. I think Mbappe will be the successor of Benzema/Ronaldo as the main striker and machine goal of Real Madrid.

If we compare where those teams finished in every season, Al Ahli is surely one level above Al-Qadsiah. Al Ahli mostly finished the season in the top 3, they even became the champion several times. Also, Al Ahli never relegated to second tier league but Al-Qadsiah experienced it last season. So simply Al Ahli is much better than Al-Qadsiah, Al Ahli is one of the top teams in Saudi league. And if we compare their trophies, it is more visible that Al Ahli is not equal with Al-Qadsiah.

Besides money, Nacho wants to play regularly. If he stays in Real Madrid, he must compete with other defenders for the same position. It will be harder due to his age, other defenders in Real Madrid also has a better quality. So, it makes sense if he leaves Real Madrid and joins Saudi league. In this league Nacho gets a lot of chance to play and he may become the captain in Al-Qadsiah.

OP already stated this matter on the thread, (2) lack of knowledge.
Of course, people probably will fail in trading if they don't have proper knowledge in trading or even no knowledge at all. I admit it that there are type of people who begin something without thinking a lot, they think they can learn it easily. Unfortunately, trading is surely not a simple matter, it requires specific ability/skills and certain knowledge. It is not a common thing that we can easily learn it while doing it. Many people have false assumption about trading, because they think it is as simple as buying and selling coins only.

Yep, the highest price is around $63k today. Not sure why this can make $75k be close, I think we are getting away from $75k.
Are you still confident we can reach $75k in July after we heard the issue about Mt Gox to distribute 142,000 Bitcoins to creditors? Mt Gox will start the repayment to creditors since the early of July until October 2024. Many people feel worried about this because it probably brings big impacts to the market if those Bitcoins will be sold onto the market. It is predicted that Bitcoin may drop below $55k, may be to reach $50k again.

Barcelona may have no idea about transfer business. They are in a crisis of financial, they look unable to sign any player. I don't think Barcelona will sign Cancelo and Felix, they only want to get them as loaned players again if Man City and Atletico Madrid agree. But there is no guarantee that Man City and Atletico Madrid will let them to join Barcelona anymore. I see Man City and Atletico Madrid may need more players in each position for the next season because UCL will have more matches. So, they probably keep them in their squads.

Man City and Atletico Madrid may have the intention to put the players on the transfer list. However, I doubt if they will agree with cheap transfer fees. If Barcelona wants to sign them with cheap transfer fees, I think Barcelona won't have a chance because there should be many other teams interested in Cancelo and Felix.

Arteta already improved Arsenal, he showed his quality as a young manager. In the last 2 seasons, Arsenal always finished the season as a runner-up, Arteta is quite successful to build Arsenal team. If Arteta still couldn't win the EPL trophy, he is just unlucky because Arsenal often did mistakes in second half of the season. But in the last season, Arsenal looks changing some matter, they didn't waste too many points in second half of the season. If Arteta keeps managing Arsenal, I think someday he can succeed winning EPL trophy. Meanwhile in UCL, I think Arsenal shouldn't expect too much, Arteta needs to get some experiences in UCL firstly. Also, Arteta needs to have a sharp striker if he wants to reach the UCL final. The current striker of Arsenal looks not strong enough, Gabriel Jesus is no longer as strong as in previous seasons.

By the way, even if Arsenal management fires Arteta, they won't be easy to get a new coach with the same level. There is no guarantee that the new coach can manage Arsenal better, so it is like gambling if Arsenal management wants to fire Arteta. I think Arsenal should keep Arteta as long as he still can maintain the performance of Arsenal.

Agree. It is too early if we assume Leverkusen will be eliminated in round 16. I know Leverkusen was playing in Europa League, but it doesn't mean Leverkusen level is below the UCL teams in the last season. In fact, Dortmund can reach the final round against Real Madrid although in Bundesliga Dortmund and Bayern Munich can be defeated by Leverkusen. It means Leverkusen level is actually the same as other big teams in UCL. I guess Leverkusen isn't impossible to reach the semi-final. However, it depends on how good Xabi Alonso can maintain the performance of Bayer Leverkusen in the next season. Sometimes, it is not easy to keep the performance as well as the previous season.

If you have no courage, you will never try investment. Sure, no investment with no risks. It is the reason why people must have sufficient knowledge firstly before they begin investment. If we have knowledge, we can deal with the risks and know how to invest in safe ways. Knowledge is something very crucial in investment, it will determine the success. So if we have enough knowledge, we shouldn't be afraid too much anymore. We will never reach our dream if we never deal with our fear.  

Sure, I am aware that I must be very careful when I enclose the altcoins investment. If you read again carefully, you must realize that I categorize altcoins investment as high risk investment. True, we shouldn't allocate big funds for altcoins because it is very risky, especially for random altcoins. Basically, I only recommend top altcoins only.

When we decide to hold Bitcoin for a long time, patience is surely the key for the success. It will be nothing if we have good understanding but we have no patience. Knowledge is very important when we make a plan for our investment, we set the goal must depend on the knowledge. However, if we have weak mentality, it is impossible to reach the goal. So, both patience and knowledge are 2 crucial things in Bitcoin investment, especially for a long term holding.

Yep, holding for a long time will enable us to get higher profits. But we must know when the right time to sell the Bitcoin. Most people set the target based on 4 years cycle, we sell the Bitcoin when it is in bullish season. As long as we set the right time for selling, it will be safe for holding a long time. Personally, I only brave to hold for around 3-4 years. I will reinvest again when the market begins a new bearish season.

Everyone is watching out Chelsea, Chelsea is a team that very often makes a surprise in each transfer windows. I think it is not about Maresca, it is like a habit of Chelsea team which easily signs or sells players. Anyway, why do you say he is a good coach? Maresca still doesn't prove anything in Chelsea, it is too early to claim he is a good coach.

Finish in UCL zone is a reasonable target for Chelsea. But it won't be easy because other top teams in EPL are very tough. Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Man United are the teams which often qualify for the UCL. Chelsea needs to compete with them for the position of UCL zone. I'm not really sure it is possible if Chelsea still can't perform consistently.

It is not as simple as you think. Every EPL team also spends a lot of money to build their squad. Even other teams have more established squad because they don't easily changes their players. Since Chelsea has too many new players, I am a bit doubtful about the cohesiveness among Chelsea players. Maresca needs to ensure that Chelsea players can have good teamwork.

Both the owner and manager of Chelsea have problems. If they have no problems, Chelsea must perform consistently and there will be no change in the coach position. However, Todd Boehly should take the responsibility because he is the chairman of Chelsea club. Everything is under Todd Boehly's control.

If Man United can sign De Ligt, it will be a good addition for Man United defense. However, De Ligt very often gets injury, Man United must get the solution for his injury. If De Ligt still has the same problem in Man United, Ten Hag won't get anything from De Ligt. De Ligt must spend a lot of time for recovery, this case is similar with Neymar who is prone of injury.

The chance to sign De Ligt looks quite high because Bayern Munich has many option for center-back. Bayern Munich has Upamecano, Min-jae Kim, and Josip Stanisic. They are also rumored to sign Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen. So, there will be enough players to replace the position of De Light. By the way, De Light isn't the main defender in Bayern Munich, too. So, it won't be a big deal for Bayern Munich if they should let him leaving the club now.

However, Bayern Munich wants $70 million for De Light. If Man United can pay the transfer fees, De Light will join Man United for the next season. This is the related news: Bayern can sell Matthijs De Ligt at $70 Million

I agree the coach mustn't blame the players. Even if the players who really made the mistakes, the coach must take the responsibility because he is the person who manage the players. The coach who select the players to put on the lineup, and the coach is the person who apply the tactics or strategy in the match. Even the coach who is wanted to buy the players and put them on the squad. So, it is very annoying if the coach blames the players, specifically if the coach is the one who made the real mistakes.

I also realize that Ten Hag already made a lot problems for the club. He has bad relationship with some players and ask the club to kick the players. Ronaldo and Sancho are 2 players who have been kicked from Man United because they have no good relationship with Ten Hag. I don't understand why Ten Hag want to kick them even if these players are useful for the team. I guess Ten Hag doesn't want to get any feedback from the players. He wants the players to accept every decision made by him.

IMO, Ten Hag deserves to be fired. But surprisingly Man United keeps him!  

The price of Osimhen has decreased. If you take a look carefully, his previous market value was €120m, it is only €100m now. I think the price of Osimhen can increase again if Napoli can perform better in the next season. I assume, Napoli can finish in UCL zone under Conte's management.

After Spalletti left Napoli, Napoli never played with their best level again. Only Spalletti who knows well how to manage Napoli players. It may be caused the squad of Napoli was built by Spalletti, so it is developed around his tactics. The new coach of Napoli may need to adjust their tactics with the capability of Napoli current players. Antonio Conte must be aware with the capability of Napoli current squad, he mustn't be egoistic to apply the tactics.

Chelsea is the most club that is very serious to sign Osimhen. But I don't think it is a good idea if Osimhen joins Chelsea because Chelsea is just an average team now. If Osimhen wants to win trophies, he is better to move to PSG. PSG also wants to sign him with high fees, but their offer is still rejected by Napoli management. If Osimhen really wants to join PSG, Napoli management may consider to decrease the transfer fees with certain agreements.

Setuju. Pembahasan thread tidak spesifik, secara umum isinya hanya seperti highlight dari topik-topik judi sebelumya. Saya kira OP bakal membuat semacam kesimpulan di akhir thread, tapi ternyata OP mengakhiri thread dengan opini pribadi terkait salah satu case judi yang disebutkan di threadnya. Kalau dipikir-pikir harusnya judul thread OP ini: Judi di Indonesia Keprihatinan terhadap anak-anak yang terpapar Judi Online

Betul. Dengan korban judi dapat bansos, mereka bisa depo lagi dan main lagi. Ya, dengan begini putaran uang lebih cepat karena mereka dapat sumber modal dari pemerintah.    Mendorong masyarakat lebih konsumtif artinya pemerintah membuat masyarakat untuk tidak pernah berpikir mandiri kan? Memang bansos seperti ini cuman kayak instan, dalam beberapa hari juga bansosnya sudah tidak berbekas.

Ya. Syukurlah ada kontestan dari Indonesia yang masuk top 5. Saya kemaren prediksi bisa masuk 3 besar, tapi sepertinya tidak banyak perubahan posisi 5 besar semenjak saya post 11 Juni itu. Mungkin next kontes ada yang masuk 3 besar member dari Indonesia, atau bahkan bisa menang kontes.

Betul. Om Taufik memang sering menang kontes, dulu juga pernah menang kontes art di tahun 2019.
Ya, setiap orang ada talent masing-masing, Om Taufik ini talent di seninya tinggi. Om @BABY SHOES juga bisa ikut kontes juga, paling tidak bisa meramaikan kontes. Sama seperti saya, paling tidak ikut memeriahkan. 

Selamat Om.. Ente gak nyangka saja bisa masuk top 5, apalagi kalau nyangka menang. Moga tau depan bisa di posisi 1.
BTW tahun ini kayaknya kriteria pemenangnya lebih ke Pizza dengan konsep unik (meaningful), bukan hanya look yang bagus.

Ada fakta menarik dari kontes tahun ini, jumlah peserta naik hampir 3 kali lipat dari tahun sebelumnya. Jumlah Pizza ada 112, jumlah ini terbanyak dibanding kontes sebelumnya.

Yep. Al-Qadsiah will be promoted to SPL. But it is interesting that Nacho didn't choose top teams in SPL. I'm sure Al Nassr, Al Hilal, or even Al Ittihad are interested in him. Maybe Al-Qadsiah offers him to play as a captain team and wants to pay him with a high salary.

Al Ahli already played in SPL for years, it is different with Al-Qadsiah which is just promoted into SPL. I also doubt that Al-Qadsiah can build their squad massively as Al Ahli because it must require a lot of money. Al-Qadsiah also won't be easy to attract top European players because they are not top teams in SPL. So, Nacho chooses Al-Qadsiah probably because of the salary or the status of a captain team.

Bellingham and Mbappe surely will be a part of Real Madrid main lineup. Bellingham is expected to have a big role in the midfield line, Ancelotti must order him to open the chance for Mbappe to score goals. Bellingham's main role won't be the machine goal anymore. Sure, Mbappe will be the new machine goal of Real Madrid. Ancelotti must expect him to score goals as many as possible. Even if Vinicius and Rodrygo will have the same roles, but Ancelotti must have a bigger hope on Mbappe.

You're right, it is very curious to see them playing for Real Madrid in the next season. I hope they will perform as expected.

Yep. Florentino Pérez manages Real Madrid well. He knows how to build Real Madrid squad in every season. Even if Real Madrid has some top players, they don't forget about the future of Real Madrid. So, the scouts always do their jobs to monitor every talented young players. So far, they did great jobs for Real Madrid.
