33 points to collect but look at the recent form Arsenal are the better form but Manchester City have improved recently but they are still fighting in the Champions League and have just advanced to the next stage which might take a lot out of their players. I think they will need to make a decision on what they push for the most because they do not have the depth at the moment to compete in both competitions. Arsenal is 5 points ahead and I think they will think they have a better chance in the Champions League and will probably mean more to their fans if they win it.

Frankfurt had the hardest match out of them and Porto because Napoli are experienced in the Champions League and they are a very good team. Frankfurt have not had as much experience and do not have the money to invest in the players that Napoli can afford. Porto are the biggest disappointment because they had a chance to make history and advance to the next stage.

There is no way they recover from it because it is how the fiat system is designed banks are one of the main things that make fiat systems and if they were to do any thing you suggest they will eventually collapse and it is why a lot of people have been predicting that the fiat system is on the brink of collapsing.

Every one story is different on how they got here but we all got here because we want to make money and do not want to trust banks and with the recent news of the banks failing for the 2nd time in a decade I think it is more important to focus on the amount of people coming to Bitcoin instead of their story. I have not heard many people say that they converted to Bitcoin because they lost trust in banks instead it is usually because they are looking for new ways to earn Bitcoin that fiat does not offer like faucets in the early days and because there is not as much competition in Bitcoin services.

I know it is the hard part and I know we have breached $25,000 a few times in the last couple of weeks but we did not have several banks failing and being all over the news then. I think if we get above it again for the 2nd time in 24 hours we should stay above it because that is a sign of people dropping their bearish attitude and buying more Bitcoin.

Yes and if you gave this idea to some one with out mentioning the word bank they would call it a ponzi scheme. Eventually every bank will fail because when a big part of their customers leaves to another bank trying to compete and offering better rates then they will not have the reserve and will fail. The government can then decide to bail them out or let them die. Both are not great for the economy and then the cycle continues with the bank which offered better rates which they cannot sustain and eventually their business fails and a lot of people get hurt again.

It is too soon to see if Chelsea are coming back to their old form they have played better in the last 2 games and have looked like a team that could continue the form but I would not be sure or want to bet on them beating Everton. Dortmund was a tough task to beat in the way the did but I think Everton are going to be harder because they are more defensive and will not allow spaces in behind which is what the Chelsea players are currently trying to do.

It was confirmed that banks cannot be trusted in 2008 but I guess a lot of people already forgot about it. I do not understand why more people do not realize that banks are using their money to gamble with and make a profit and if some thing goes wrong the governments will bail them out because it would ruin the economy if so many defaulted loans were not covered.

Congrats on the win! Disappointing it is not for more money but you know your football! If you put $50 on that bet you would have a very nice return now. Make sure you post your predictions on this topic because we would all like to see your insight into things and maybe help us win some money too! I would have never thought Manchester City would win by more then 5 goals but they are one of the best teams left in the competition and could win the competition if they have favorable games from now to the end.

Newcastle United are a good team but I do not know if they are good enough to compete wtih Tottenham and Liverpool. I know they have games in hand and are behind Manchester United but they have the worst players and they have been playing worse then they were in the 1st half but I know what you are saying and I agree they could be a threat to the top 4 but I still think it will be out of Newcastle United, Tottenham and Liverpool for the 4th position. I think Manchester United are safe and Manchester City. Arsenal is going to win by a lot of points in my opinion.

Is it possible to detect which nodes have applied this patch because I think if every node did it we could remove ordinals and the problems they bring to the Blockchain?

Do not start with Bitcoin start by learning a programming language and then come back to Bitcoin development because it will make more sense to you. If you start with Bitcoin development you are not learning the fundamentals of a programming language and you will learn a lot slower. Learn programming any programming language and then you only need to learn the syntax for another language you will learn all the same fundamentals what ever the programming language is. The most important thing to do is start learning now.

The next two hours we should break the $25,00 resistance! For the 2nd time in a couple of weeks. I think we might push on from here without dropping back down we might finally be able to challenge the $30,000 price. We just need more banks to fail in the next couple of days and it should continue rising. I do not know why multiple banks are failing in the same week but I hope it continues for the price of Bitcoin!

No one will learn any thing this is the 3rd time the banks are being bailed out and the 2nd time in this decade. Do you think people will learn from their mistakes? The banks are funded by the poor and most people cannot survive without banks until employers and companies start paying their wages in Bitcoin they are not going to learn they are just going to move their money to other banks that have not been bailed out. I bet some people think this is positive that the government are willing to forgive the banks and secure them when things go wrong and see that as security when it is not.

Sean Dyche is the master at 1-0 victories. He gets the team to defend with all their pride and then he does a quick counter attack and wins the game. He waits until his opposition goes out all attack and leaves spaces in the defense. I think they survive the Premier League and they become a very good team under Dyche he was the perfect manager for them.

Arsenal will win the Premier League and Manchester City are going to come 2nd I think we can agree on that outcome. Arsenal are too far ahead for Manchester City to catch them unless they have a injury crisis or Manchester City can beat Arsenal but I think Arsenal are in the better form and will not have a problem against Manchester City because of the way they play. Manchester City has not been consistent enough to win the remaining games they have and I think they will struggle to keep up with Arsenal even if Arsenal drop points.

Manchester United are favorites for 3rd and I think they will find it easy to secure Champions League football and will probably keep 3rd place. I think Liverpool and Tottenham are the only teams that are unpredictable where they will finish. I think Tottenham gets 4th because they are a little more stable then Liverpool and have better players. Harry and Son will be the difference in qualifying for Champions League. Liverpool only have Mohamed Salah who cannot do it on his own.

Justin Gaethje's wrestling is over hyped in my opinion. He has never shown that he wants to wrestle I cannot remember a time where he tried to take down his opponent. Instead he likes to have a stand up heavy game plan and likes to knock people out. He could have easily won some of his losses if he knew how to wrestle I know he has a long history at high school level and I think he was a state champion but he has not shown that in the UFC and I think he will try his same game plan of standing and trying to knock out Rafael.

FOMO is the biggest reason why we have bull runs but bear markets are when people are trying to drive the price down to buy in at lower prices and make their money back. This happens in all stocks and then things on the news affect the price too. FTX ruined the price of Bitcoin for a long time because it stopped people buying Bitcoin and made a lot of people panic about the security of Bitcoin. A lot of people lost money and every person in the world had FTX steals Bitcoin on their front page of the news. That does not look good and it is hard to get adoption when some thing big happens like that. I do not expect a ATH this year because we will still be recovering from the FTX incident which has clouded peoples confidence in Bitcoin. These events happen every couple of years hopefully we will not see another incident like FTX for at least 3/4 years and we can build from the halving happening next year and get a ATH after it has happened.

It is never too late to invest in something that should be around for the next 100+ years. Bitcoin is the only thing that can challenge the fiat currencies and it should increase in value the more people who use it the more it will be worth. I think you should try dollar cost averaging out. Search online [1] for a explanation and it should give you a tutorial on how to do it. If you do dca instead of investing a big amount you should be safer when Bitcoin goes down which it does often. It is easy to think that Bitcoin will fail when the price goes down but if you have faith and wait until it starts recovering again you should see good profits.

You need a big event to happen if you want every person in the world to convert to Bitcoin instantly. We would probably need fiat to collapse and that probably will not happen for a long time. Every country wants to keep fiat alive because they profit huge margins from keeping it alive and Bitcoin is a threat to their profits because they can not control it like they do with fiat. They will try to rescue it if it is at threat of being replaced by Bitcoin and I think it might be bans on Bitcoin if we did come close to threatening them because they want people to think that fiat is the only option for them.

If Bitcoin grows steady and people do not jump ship instantly the government might not ban it or put too many restrictions on it. Then when we have enough passionate users who are willing to fight to keep Bitcoin alive we might be in a good position to challenge the fiat currencies but we are a long way off until we can challenge it.
