Chelsea has now three opportunities to play against teams that are not in top shape in the Premier League. Perhaps this win against Dortmund now gives them a push and they can improve. If they started a winning streak now of three consecutive games, they would afterwards host the game against Liverpool and that could be their final chance to keep a realistic probability for the qualification for the international ranks in the table. I doubt that they can still make it 1-4, but if they win a lot of games the Europa League could still be achievable.
Chelsea doesn't even have that resilience to withstand Liverpool In a match as long as this tournament is concerned; they proved themselves Worthy of defeating any team since the very moment they got away with a cleansheet AGAINST Man U that ended in a 7:0 victory. It's not particularly about the goals conceived by Man U, it's about how uncoordinated thier gameplay was....the kept struggling as the goals kept banging in. Meanwhile, Liverpool has been in their worst forms this season before this big defeat, so I don't think any team would easily win a game against them just yet,...most especially as they've been able to secure the 5th position. Sandra 🧑🦰 Hi Sandra  I agree with you, but the chance I see for Chelsea is that both teams are going through constant ups and downs. You never know how they are going to play their next game as their consistency is close to zero. But you are right that Liverpool seems to have an edge over Chelsea as now that they are back to 5th position, there is something on the line again for them. That's not so much the case for Chelsea. In order for them to make it to position 1-4, they would have to do a lot of praying besides playing well!  But it is still a home game and Chelsea , on a lucky day, can certainly beat Liverpool. It is one of the more interesting games I am looking forward to. |

Maybe Chelsea won this week but I'm worried about their next match against Leicester away already.
Because it is obvious that it won't be an easy match for Chelsea at all. The big win Leicester got against Tottenham home comes to my mind and just bad scenarios are appearing in my mind for Chelsea also. Because Chelsea are still a struggling team when it comes to scoring goals. They don't have problems on creating many goal chances but the main issue is finishing them. Leicester are a team that have a weak defense normally. But their offensive side is very strong. As they have a potential to get point(s) here I'm thinking of adding their double chance to my betslip.
Even this win against Leeds was below their expectations actually. With a team like theirs they should finally be able to beat some underdogs in home games with a couple of goals difference. Just a 1-0 is not enough for FC Chelsea against Leeds. Right now they are just consolidating and trying to save what is left for this season but I can't see very much that they could still be fighting for. I can't see a chance for them to attack the top five teams right now. Even when Chelsea plays more or less well, those five teams are not joking around anymore and Chelsea would have to make up 8 points on Liverpool and 11 points on Tottenham. After this win against Manchester United I don't think that Liverpool can play so bad for the rest of the season that Chelsea comes even close, let alone Chelsea play so good that they could come even close. |

This season in Premier League, Arsenal's form is good overall with 19 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses. This performance currently places Arsenal at 1st out of 20 teams in the Premier League Table, winning 76% of matches. Arsenal's home form is excellent with the following results : 9 wins, 2 draws, and 1 losses. And their away form is considered excellent, as a result of 10 wins, 1 draws, and 2 losses. Arsenal has scored a total of 56 goals this season in Premier League. Arsenal repeated a good performance today by defeating their visitors in an encounter that ended with 3:2 victory in favour of Arsenal.
All that said, Arsenal Truthfully deserves the win today, they worked tirelessly to the last minute for the goal to arrive and the goal actually did. I'm so happy for them, at the very beginning, my hopes and predictions moved to Tottenham Hotspur but then Gunner's showed responsibility, determination and drive during games. They weren't so perfect with a damn effective squad but they was ready to fight for themselves game after game. I really do hope the win continues, they can go ahead dropping points during Europa League but I don't want to give up on them on winning the Premier League. They deserve to win the Premier League afyer all of the hardworks. Games like these are worth more than only the 3 points you receive. If you can turn around a game like that in the very last second after being down 0-2, you know that that means something more for the rest of the season. These 3 points were so important when all the opponents were hoping to get a little bit closer and Arsenal just destroyed their hope essentially with the final whistle! The goal was a great one by the way, but when I saw the goal it could also have easily been blocked. The ball found its perfect way and couldn't be saved by the goalkeeper then. A great finish of an exciting game with a deserved winner. |

OP, I am sure that not all gamblers don't have savings. First, who is a gambler? Lol, A gambler is someone who bets on games knowing full well that there is a possibility of losing their money. Yea, gambling, just like crypto investment, is advised to be done with what one can afford to lose, and that is also the same advice that goes for gamblers: to always gamble with what they can afford to lose. There are some gamblers that I know who have a good job that they are doing and earning big money from, providing their families with what they need, but each time you see them at the casino, you might not even believe they are rich duds. Based on my research, there are 7 types of gamblers (read about them here), of which compulsive gamblers are the ones most likely to fall into the category you claim, although professional gamblers may have gone through some stages of frustration but with tolerance they scale along. Unfortunately, many people do not realize the potential for losing their money at gambling and instead spend more and more of their money. These people really hope to win big money from gambling, which tempts them to keep playing. But there are indeed gamblers who are still able to save for their future and their family, and these are responsible people in gambling, so they don't risk losing too much money. But gambling can indeed make someone unable to have savings, especially a gambler who is addicted to gambling because he only wants to use his money to gamble without thinking about anything else. I think gambling is just a game you can't win long-term. I remember when the poker hype went through the roof years and years ago and only a few faces are still around like Daniel Negreanu. Some of the popular faces even went broke even though they were claimed to be the superstars who understand to win consistently. But I think that was just part of the story Pokerstars and others were trying to sell. Gambling is called gambling for a reason. Some of those poker players who won big at some tournaments eventually made more money through their advertisement activities and books and merchandise and whatever else they sold. |

Do you agree that more people will choose to invest in bitcoins if there were not so many cryptocurrency choices although not all are good?
Obviously! If you have only two types of ice cream in the shop customers will for sure buy more of those brands than if you would have 100 different types. The moment there are multiple coins in which to invest even if the majority would keep most of their investment tied to bitcoin they will still spend a few $ here and there on altcoins, so cutting down that supply would for sure drive more money into BTCAnd there s another thing, some choose to invest in other tokens because they know that if they are lucky they will hit the jackpot, there is no way for BTC to get the same return as some of these tokens, for example, Shiba Inu went 46,000,000% in 2021, so some are thinking of selecting 100 coins, putting 1$ in one and if just one does the same they will earn far more than they could earn from BTC. At the same time, they could earn -100  , but that's another story. If those opportunities would not be there the 100$ would go to BTC or at least a part of it. Though I wouldn't be surprised that those who create and sell shit coins use the money to funnel it into Bitcoin at least partially. All these shit coins that are created as BEP-20 and other token standards get deprived of their liquidity and then flow into other cryptos I would suppose. It is still ending up in a net negative in terms of total investment as some of those who burn their fingers on shit coins might shy away from crypto altogether at least temporarily. |

But it also depend on your overall literacy in terms of secure storage by yourself and the amount you have invested and the overall time you have to manage your stuff.
This is no recommendation to store your coins on a centralized exchange ever, but sometimes it can be ok if you leave your coins with a reputable, registered exchange and familiarize yourself in the meantime with secure storage.
It's right that it should be the other way around, but if one decides to buy first and store it on a centralized exchange, chances that it gets lost are lower with well established exchanges. Yes, FTX now proved the opposite, but some of the exchanges OP mentioned are shady as hell anyway!

So Croatia managed to beat Saudi Arabia in today's friendly game but it was tougher than expected. Saudi Arabia was probably a test game for the first game against Morocco. Croatia had two goals canceled because of the offside and I think that Dalic should be a little worried because Croatia didn't dominate as it would be expected. Saudi Arabia missed few really good chances and just because of that Croatia won in the end. Interestingly, Luka Modric wasn't in the starting lineup. I guess that Dalic wanted to test how would his team play without their best playmaker.
And judging by the attendance (the game was played in Saudi Arabia), local fans couldn't care less about their football team.
I believe that these friendly games are not valuable at all to derive any conclusions from them. Who in the world would risk to get injured right before everything starts in such a game? Hell, I would definitely play at 70% maximum unless I still have to lose something and might not make it into the best 11 of the squad. |

The son will be richer than the father in 10 years.   For context, Peter Schiff’s son owns Bitcoin, and has probably started accumulating/HODLing for as long as Peter Schiff was spreading FUD, and false assumptions about Bitcoin. This is funny and I actually also read about that a while ago. I am curious how their relationship actually is because you could say that they are still father and son with just two different opinions. The problem here might be that there is a whole lot of money on the table between them with one bashing the wealth potential of the other. Does anyone know whether have been reports about their stance towards each other? The relationship might be, the son wants to discuss his investment decisions with his father because the son himself is proud, and wants his father to be proud of him. The father avoids discussions with the son regarding investments because the son outperforms him by > 5,000%. That's why it fits in the book. seriously, does this book really exist? Sorry, but I only know about Robert Kiyosaki's book which is the rich dad, poor dad and it's one of my favorite books to read. I am no ill-wisher at all, so let us hope together that Peter Schiff's son has a big heart and frequently invites his dad to those big fat yacht parties on his 300 yard boat or grants him free flights in his A380! |

Right now things are starting to get a bit scary with not only how bad inflation has gotten, but also how bad supply chain issues are continuing to get. The pandemic has caused a huge mess, and I'm curious how bad you guys see things getting and if it's as bad in your country as it is here in the United States.
First, how bad is inflation in your country..what % is it currently at? (Here in the U.S. it's between 4-6% on average. Many items have inflated much more such as seafood being around 20-30%)
Second, are you seeing supply chain issues in your country and how bad is it? (For example my favorite toilet paper has not been produced for well over a year now. Recently my two favorite bags of chips have become unavailable from both supply chain issues and factories focusing on other items, putting them ahead of my FAVORITE damn chips lol).
Great topic and I think what's worse is the fact that the insane crisis was there way before the pandemic began. I came across an article and couldn't believe it, but then reached out to a friend who has an IT company in the heart of San Francisco, and what I am going to post does not even only apply to those living right in the center. Check this article headline out from CNBC: "In San Francisco, households earning $117,000 qualify as ‘low income’" That is quite insane to say the least and my friend said that this is not just a relative figure because there are so many rich people, it is just the fact that you pay 5k per months for a shoe box as your apartment. Now during the pandemic even many people from the middle class ended up living in tents on the streets in SF well known for those masses of homeless. That's painful. |

I want to get the opinion of the people that think gold is superior so I can see the other side of the argument.
Bitcointalk may not be the best forum to get the other side of the argument. Majority here believe Bitcoin is superior to gold and for good reason too. what do you think about the Bitcoin vs Gold debate?
Unnecessary for most of the part, Bitcoin is not competing with gold or fiat or any other currency or asset and it does not need to be proven to be better than gold, investors do their research and can come up with their own analysis of the venture. Imo, it is discussed often cause it is an interesting topic, considering bitcoin was called digital gold for a period of time and both share some similarities. This is some balanced answer to the general question I think. It really is a question of preference, believe, hope, insider knowledge, maybe even desperation or ignorance. Extremely strong positions for either one or the other always come across a bit narrow-minded. I think it really comes down to the very specific aspect/characteristic or use case you want to discuss. Even those specific aspects can often be discussed endless, like the government being able to confiscate my buried assets. Gold won't moulder in the ground and when I get out of jail I can retrieve it, a hardware wallet might suffer from failure over the course of a couple of years, but might be easier to hide and so on and so forth. But still listening to maximalists can still be helpful to draw even better conclusions for yourself. As with anyone else, not everything they've got to say is wrong, and neither is it right all the time. Ultimately time will tell, but from a value appreciation standpoint, I think we probably all agree that the world won't be less digitized in the future and decentralized money or assets make a whole lot of sense, which at the same time doesn't mean that gold doesn't make sense. It depends, right?  |

I can’t believe this is being debated. I watched a panel or maybe a post by Luke dash Jr who literally said Bitcoin is the most traceable currency in the world. Being a top core dev, I’d just believe him and use CASH for your hookers and blow. Peace!
V
I don't know how exactly the debate went, but if he referred to the majority of Bitcoin users rather than the real geeks, he is probably right. My number isn't based on substance, just guess work, but I would say that at least 95% of the users would are easily prone to making mistakes in staying anonymous. Still your point is right of course, if you know what you are doing everything is possible with Bitcoin. |

I personally don't really care about this person because with or without a statement from him I can still do my own research. but I still follow the progress of what he is doing because for me it will be very profitable regardless of the controversy he creates.
as for there are still people who believe it or not, it's back to their own rights because I'm sure even though many hate it, there will still be a lot of supporters, especially for beginners who want to be involved in crypto.
but for me if it benefits me then i will follow but if it can create high risk like the pump he has done before then i will leave because this is my asset and i will keep it as strong as possible
It also sounds almost religious when somebody asks whether you do believe in Elon Musk. Why should I believe in Elon Musk? He is an outstanding tech guy with an important voice and I can listen to him, sure, and I can choose to believe what he says. But believing in him goes a thousand steps too far. |

It does look much more optimistic, but that is the technical analysis only. I have been around for a while and while I don't have a problem with technical analysis, it ultimately doesn't do much when events like China banning mining operations come into play. You can have all sorts of TA indicators, but Bitcoin remains an asset of high political and social relevance, hence is influenced by events from so many domains.
Agree with you, news has more impact on the market as people can speculate and the price will move, hence, it makes a TA useless as it's based on trends. When the news came out that China is banning bitcoin, that resulted in a huge dump and a TA does not see that coming. Also, if we believe on market manipulation like what Elon did, then we should just study how it will affect the market and put that TA aside for a while. And here we are, but luckily the other way around: we made a big jump because Amazon rumors leaked. No technical analysis guru can now claim to have predicted this price jump because it has nothing to do with any typical movement line they can draw on their fancy software. Just a rumor about Amazon and we have a price jump. What is technical analysis really worth? |

It's obvious that market is not at better situation currently but their is no too ways about the corrections, the only time i feel like is better time for bull market to come again is like two years time, despite how market is currently, it's very obvious that their most be a set of individuals who will be beneficiary to the hard time of cryptocurrency, i think a market profiting is base on a personal permutations or strategies used for cryptocurrency transactions or trading, many people complain about bad market, and so many people also kept silent concerning it.
Bitcoin literally went up 5% today, why do you think that it is not doing good these days? I feel like people are way too doomy about bitcoin as of right now, I feel like nothing bad is going on. I understand that we went under 30k for the first time in a long time and that made people feel a bit more worried about bitcoin and so everyone is talking about how we are going to fall constantly. However, I do not agree with that, bitcoin tried to go down and failed which means right now we are doing a lot better, if you think that it will keep going down more and more and constantly then you do not know much about bitcoin, it is obvious that we are going to get better and then fall then better and fall and keep being around these prices and nothing too bad. I get that we are not constantly focusing on bitcoins good side because it would hurt us when it falls but focusing only on the bad side is not good neither. People seem to not be able to see or identify trends. If they put a long line on Bitcoin's graph over the last couple of years, they would notice that Bitcoin just shot up like a rocket according to the trend. They overvalue the drops we have seen in Bitcoin's price forever now. Of course it hurts to see your investment get cut in half but that happened so often now. And here we are right now, Bitcoin is healthy and doing well. Let's see if it can keep this level and stabilize right below $40k. |

What is likley to happen to BTC in the imidiate aftermath of a global economic crash, and what will a recovery look like in comparison to the economy?
Lets take covid crisis as an economic crisis then we all knows what happened to the stocks, gold and cryptocurrencies. As immediate effect every asset value fell but in no matter bitcoin started to recover and start gaining attention as well so that we reached over 60k as result. Bitcoin could also crash of course. It would certainly crash if it's in real bubble territory and everyone fears liquidity will dry out. Apart from that it could also certainly be a safe haven and not move much. What I don't believe is that it will go up because honestly there aren't many people during a crisis whose tendency to invest increases during such times. Actually, I don't get your point. During pandemic people won't have money to invest on assets because they are looking to spend on their daily needs over future assets so there are certain class people who have millions already sitting in their bank account and still got money in their hand will take this as an advantage and make more money as much as they can by investing when the price is at the lower level. You just repeated what I said, so you obviously got my point. Interestingly, a lot of people think that during a crisis people flee into Bitcoin, but I fully agree with you that during a crisis most people don't have anything available they could liquidate and put into Bitcoin. The rich guys, yes they are very well positioned to even buy the Bitcoin up that others are forced to liquidate, but the average person is trying survive rather than gambling on cryptocurrencies. That was my point. That is also why Bitcoin will not explode during a crisis. It might though if we are talking about a hyperinflation crisis. |

if you bought Bitcoin a few days ago when the price was below $30k then now you have profited a few percent. the market will always be good depending on when you buy or sell.
People are looking differently in the market trend those who bought at it's highest has a lot to regret and thinking of cutting their losses if they have weak hands they are likely to do that, and of course, there are those who are always looking for the price to drop, so they can buy cheap and sell high when the market is good, some of them are FUDSTER always looking on a chart for their entry and exit. If you are an investor, you should not look at the market on daily basis as this will either make you panic if the price is low or you will want to sell if the price is higher than your buying price. The investors should have the vision of making high profits. The traders should look at the market on daily basis and keep on booking the profits. These are the ones who need some income/profit regularly to keep the circle running. They need to zoom out and see the market movement and be a long term investors. If not they will obviously in panic mode seeing their portfolio on red. It's really hard to be a investor in crypto because of the volatility and it takes some mental toughness to be in this ecosystem. Maybe majority of us have seen the up and down of the market, but there are newbies who are still in fear when the market goes south. In any case though, we have a good recovery on the way, we are going to reach the next big barrier of $35,000. Yes it seems like we left the stormy waters for now. It is looking healthier and rather unlikely that we are going below $30k again. Even if we should I don't think those $20k predictions will ever hit, let alone those claiming that Bitcoin could go as low as $13k. That would really be surprising to me. I think we might stay where we are for a while and do some stable and continuous climbing up the hill. |

For now the BTC market is recovering satisfactorily, I have seen many analysts who think that it can even reach $ 60k, because there is good news that has increased the confidence of investors, in any case you have to be careful when it comes to to operate, the market can give surprises of all kinds: Bitcoin price hits $34K as trader forecasts fresh weekend resistance showdown "Bitcoin breaks through that resistance at $32.5-$32.7K. Holding that for support = likely continuation towards $36K," he forecast in a Twitter update.
"Overall, the next resistance at $34.5K is possibly being reached during the weekend."
Such behavior would not be at all surprising given the wide trading range in which BTC/USD is currently acting — $42,000, the point of all-time highs from February, remains the range ceiling and line in the sand for a definitive bull market continuation. Source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-hits-34k-as-trader-forecasts-fresh-weekend-resistance-showdownI think that those bears who predicted that BTC was going to fall to $ 20k or less are starting to fade, the scenario looks much more optimistic. It does look much more optimistic, but that is the technical analysis only. I have been around for a while and while I don't have a problem with technical analysis, it ultimately doesn't do much when events like China banning mining operations come into play. You can have all sorts of TA indicators, but Bitcoin remains an asset of high political and social relevance, hence is influenced by events from so many domains. |
