I won't say you are expecting too much at least after bitcoins being stable above 110k for a while. This is definitely a positive news and Q4 will just bring more green candles and prosperity. Bitcoins have repeated the past multiple times so this can be expected again but there is nothing wrong in that. People usually start encashing bitcoins after they see prices skyrocketting but the same people will buy back as soon as they get to know that the prices won't crash anymore. They have FOMO and they start hopping back. This is going to explode the prices and we are going to see a really good coming month.

September is about to end and usually at the end of month, we do see spike in volume. Hopefully this time the spike will be upwards which will only skyrocket the prices and make us believer in the long term goals.

I get wanting him, and yes that kid will be moving to some bigger club soon enough, but seriously after spending that much money are they still unsure about the quality of their squad? Arne Slott can't blame anything on the squad this season, if they do end up not winning the league that is on him and nobody else.

Because the ownership spent ungodly amount of money this season to make sure that they have the best possible team and they gave Arne the greatest team they could possibly afford. So this team will either repeat and win the league again, or it will be a big disappointment. I am pretty sure that they will win it though, and if not then it's going to be something that will take a while for them to get better, but he won't be fired if they fail, because of last year.

I think collective betting are more prone for chasing profits. Maybe unless if all of you guys are a chicken, lol. But if we are only in, for fun, then I think there is no problem if we will continue right after each win, up until we reach our desired profits. This is again likely because of the number of people involved. So that when the time you guys are now dividing your income, it won't look very tiny. Add in if like you said, some members in the team have some good skills in betting.

Indeed. This is another way to bond with the people that we know the most but apart from collective betting, there are also some that do PVP battles instead.

Barcelona should be getting an easy three points against Valencia, doesn't mean they will, just saying they should be and because of that it's going to be something that will be very profitable for them, and nothing different will happen.

Because they already lost points, and they can't afford to lose more points and they need to end up with some more wins. If they can do that then they are going to end up with a lot better returns and wouldn't face issues at all. It's the most important part of the deal, and it's going to take time for it to change. Best case scenario Barcelona will play with their %100 and when they do that Valencia is not even a rival for them, it's a very easy game for them, so they have to play with their %100.

It wouldn't be a huge disappointment if they end up winning their own league and cup, but not win UCL again. It is understandable for them to not have the win here, because UCL is a very tough competition and getting to win it twice is very tough, let alone twice in a row.

So it is normal and understandable if they end up failing to win the UCL, and it wouldn't be a failed season if they did not do that. What they need to achieve however is get the league, which should be easy, and also get the cup which will be hard because they will focus on the league and UCL so cup will mostly get bench players and young players instead of main ones all the way until quarter finals or more (at least it should), it's the perfect place to rest your players.

Speculation is for everyone and just not limited to traders. I agree that DCA will help both investors and long term based traders still you cannot ignore the role of speculation along with DCA.

I mean, in my opinion, there would be no point of DCA in a year long bearish market; you may skip DCA for few months because it would greatly help to achieve better average-buying-price. So, even you are into DCA, I am sure that you still need speculations for ensuring that you are not dealing with a falling knife.

You can easily eliminate all the psychological factors when you plan for long term investment. DCA along with long term holding will help you to rid off all the blocking factors of a new investor.

I always assume that we are discussing about bitcoin and not about any altcoin or stocks or bond unless otherwise specifically mentioned.

You mean getting to trading and investing simultaneously? I am sure that most people do that. Because, long term holding is really boring hence people look for short term trading just to multiply their wealth. Honestly I am not into both because I lose more in trading than what I DCA at the given time frame.

They do have a "potential risk" which is not being able to give back what they praised. Meaning, if they get 1 billion in money to loan out, and then need to pay back 1.1 billion, but they are charging people 1.5 billion for that, it's great profit for them. However, if they are not making it back, either because bad investments, or defaulted loans they gave out and all that, then we are going to see them have bad returns and bank will end up bankrupting, we have seen that.

So if you are taking the risk, then you are taking the profit too. Look at people here just on this forum, @shashan gives loans, great guy, amazing system he built, god knows how much money is out there right now, and he is waiting that money to arrive, but he is taking that risk at the moment. If people don't pay him back, his situation is worse than a bank, because he can't do anything neither.

Yeah, scammers are stealing the identify documents in the name of interview in my country lately. People who are deliberately looking for job or income stream (in the name of work from home), easily coem forward to submit even their passport and other highly sensitive information.

If they take time to verify the background of the company which offered the job, might easily help people to escape from these scam attempts.

Yes, the importance of cold wallets has been emphasised across this forum for years. Unfortunately not all crypto users are not using this forum and also not all forum members are not making use of what they learned from this forum against scammers.

There isn't really a set time because it depends from person to person. What is long to you may not be long to them and what is long to them may not be long to you. There isn't any proper way to calculate this, finances, life situations, and everything basically changes this.

So you have to realize that the best way to move forward would be making sure that it's going to be a tough one, and that's going to change a lot. If you do that, then you are going to get a lot of great returns. Make sure that you are dealing with something that has a lot of question marks, but if you do figure out a way, then you can pick your long term and if you do, then it doesn't matter what other people think of your timeframe, only you can dictate that.

Yeah, India could be the one of the finalist, I agree with you both because current ranking of T20I is saying the same thing:



Source: https://www.espncricinfo.com/rankings/icc-team-ranking

Still, the fact 'past records got nothing to do with future performance' is very true especially for T20 format. If my memory serves me better, India was not preforming well in 2021 T20 world cup in the same venue (India lost against Pakistan and New Zealand and failed to qualify for semi final). Similarly, in 2022 edition of Asia cup was played in T20 format where Sri Lanka was the champion in the same venue.

I expect few surprises from Afghanistan and Bangladesh just because of T20 format.

Pakistan and Sri Lanka got all the talents to surprise the top ranked India.

Liverpool beating Arsenal doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things for the short term, because lets be honest Liverpool will lose a game too, it's possible for them to go unbeaten but I doubt it, they will lose, and Arsenal can cover that difference.

The real tricky situation is the fact that Liverpool spent like what 400 million or something on transfers? If they can get the most out of these players and the ones they have, they are going to be a team that is unstoppable. They are spending like crazy, and expecting a win is just the norm for them after all of this. If they do anything else, any lower then it is not easy.

Look at this link, and see how much they spent, and that is just the official number on those transfers, not adding the marketing and what not, these players get a lot more money than this for the transfer, and the teams get more too, it's just not shown up as the transfer fee itself, but they get more.

If you are powerful enough, then making more money is easy, and bribing the politicians to get what they want out of it is also easier as well. It's not really that complicated, we are going to end up with a much better return. It's going to be tough, but not that impossible. If you are rich "enough", getting anything done is easier, even tax evasion is easier, and then you just make more with that money you have.

In fact, it's so funny, they let you literally steal tax, by just reinvesting, so you make more money, and you are rewarded if you put your money towards making even more. That is in name of capitalism and that means you are going to end up with bunch of problems, and that's going to be a trouble for normal people.

I would say Villa isn't an empty threat. They are a great team and Unai Emery is one of the greatest managers we have in the world right now. Just because he doesn't manage a huge team, doesn't mean that he is a bad manager. We have seen him do great stuff with his teams before and we should be making sure that they are doing the great thing again.

This is why I believe Aston Villa could win the whole thing and they have a serious chance of it. I get why people think that this isn't easy, but it can be done. So we are going to see what kind of team they are, and what kind of return we are going to get. I hope that it can be done in a better way, and we can see how this could change for us on the long run. Villa is my bet.

That is how the league is won, and yet people do not understand it. How "great you look" doesn't matter, you may like how PSG played or may not like how they played, in the end they won.

And as long as they keep winning, then there is nothing to discuss at all. We should consider this as something that would not be all that bad at all, and it's definitely a good way to make this work. Of course this isn't really that complicated for all of us, so it's definitely not that bad for any of us.

We are going to get a great PSG team this season too, they were probably tired from playing that many games. They played all games if ligue 1, and played all games of the cup, and all games of the UCL and all games of CWC, so last year I do not think any team played more games than PSG did.

I think that is not 'to inspire' anymore if we will flex how big our banks or how many fast cars, mansions, etc.. we have but that is bragging already. There is still a fine line between them. But, for only those who have the intention to inspire, I feel sorry for them if they will also get targeted by the criminals.

We that are humble will know this already but for others that wants to farm an aura, they can neglect this easily. They can even lie and say it was their belongings when in fact they only borrow it from someone else. That is how desperate they are. No wonder why they can get a karma. It is either those who threaten them are only annoyed with their actions or think they are genuine and try to steal their belongings from them.

Isak wanting to leave is normal, Newcastle is not a big team, even with a rich owner, they are basically forced to follow financial fair play, which means they can't get anyone they want. But, selling a player is a good way to get some money, and they can use that, so they want to get as much as possible.

Liverpool should definitely stop trying, because they already have a great team, why get Isak? Their striker is now Ekitike and he is playing wonderful so far, both on friendlies and on that league game against United too. I think it's clear that Liverpool would be making a mistake disrupting what they have working, and they already spent so much money, they should not try to spend even more money on this at all.

Yeah, we need to realize that we can't always know what's going to happen beforehand, and we can never be sure of anything before it happens. What we can just have is hope, and that hope is that price will go up in the future, nothing is worse than that.

We need to focus on how to make more money with what we have, and for that reason we are going to get a lot better result. If we can do that, then we are going to see this change for the long term. Because if we are right with our hope and price goes up, then it doesn't matter "when" it goes up if we are holding it, as long as you are not selling, then when it goes up is unimportant information and shouldn't be something that bothers you for the long term.

While I would prefer bitcoin and I am 100% sure that in a 10 year race bitcoin not only will increase more in % but also it has a slight chance that it can have a valuation higher than gold marketcap as well. But leaving all that aside, gold isn't something you have to buy physically anymore, all banks in my nation have gold accounts, and I know few other nations that have that too, and I am sure that we are going to end up with that all around.

That means, you put money on your bank account ,and buy gold. That way, you do not physically hold it, you have gold in your bank account , and when the price of gold goes up, the value there goes up too. So while bitcoin is better than gold, you do not have to worry about purity or theft or anything like that for gold, if you only want it for investment.
