Well at the moment the marketcap of Bitcoin is "only" a little more than twice the amount of the marketcap of Ethereum, so i don't see a reason why Ethereum should not be able to get the top position from Bitcoin sometime in the not so distant future. That being said, i still think that it won't happen in the next 1 or 2 years and also that it won't happen automatically. Even in this forum there are still a lot of Bitcoin hardcore fans that are saying that every coin besides bitcoin is a sh*itcoin but i think those people slowly but surely become less. If we just take a look at the functionality then of course Ethereum is already king.

Well in the end it all comes down to general principle that is the driving force of every good or asset that can be bought and sold: supply and demand. If you buy traditional stocks you also don't always get a dividend as there are a lot of companies out there that are not paying dividends to their shareholders. You buy those shares simply because you think that they have a pretty high chance that they will be more valuable in the future than they are now when you buy them. This means you can sell them for a higher price than you have paid, which means you make a profit.
In addition to that a lot of tokens and coins can be staked in order to generate additional income in the form of interest.

Dortmund managed to get a good start into this Bundesliga season as they managed to beat Leverkusen with 1-0 today. I watched the game and i have to say that in the first half Dortmund definitely was the better team and also deserved to score the first goal. In the second half Leverkusen was by far the better team though in my opinion. Schick alone had like 2 or 3 very big chances but he was not able to make anyone of those count sadly. Also the goalkeeper of Dortmund Kobel showed some great saves today. So overall i would say that a draw would be the right result for this game so Dortmund was pretty lucky to win this one.

In the end Wolfsburg still managed to score the equalizer and i think that was an extremely important goal for Wolfsburg. They have a new and pretty well known coach with Nico Kovac who is also one of the best earning coaches in the Bundesliga now and i think it would be a very bad start for him if they would have lost their first match against a team that was in the second Bundesliga last year. Now they at least achieved a draw which is also not that great but at least not a total disaster.
Also Freiburg had a great start into the league again with a convincing 4-0 victory over Augsburg. I am happy for Freiburg as i think it is a very likeable team with a great coach.

I think there was a huge change regarding new crypto projects and their availability after launch. I still remember back in 2018 and 2019 and before of course, that new crypto projects had to pay really big amounts of money in order to get listed on "good" exchanges like Binance, Huobi, Kucoin and so on. So those big exchanges really had a lot of power back in the day. Once the whole Defi trend started and the first real Dexes like Uniswap and pancakeswap were created this all changed. Now all that a new projects needs to do is provide liquidity for their trading pair so they "only" need to have a reasonable amount of stable coins or ETH or BNB to pair it with their native token in order to be listed.

It was definitely a pretty strong statement from Bayern Munich today. No one really knows how good the teams really are until the first few real matches have been played, but today Bayern made clear that they probably have the strongest squad since at least 5 years even though they don't have Lewandowski anymore. Instead they have now a lot of positions where they have 2 or even 3 very good players.
I don't really think that it would be such a big difference if Haaland would still be in Dortmund. In the end he is just one player and that is just not enough to compete against a team that has a stronger squad in all of the other 10 positions.
It was only the first goal though and i think Bayern still is a little bit unstable in the defense.

So does this mean that Barcelona was finally able to register Lewandowski as their player? They probably had to sell shares of their property again in order to be able to do that. I think for Bayern it was a very good deal. Yes of course Lewandowski is probably the best central striker at the moment but he was already 33 years old when they sold him and he only had 1 more year of contract. To get 45 Million for him under this conditions is a very good deal.
I personally think that Bayern is even stronger than last season. The match against Leipzig last week was a good indicator for that. Bayern is again very strong in the offense but they still need to improve their defense, but i think once De Ligt is fully integrated Bayern should be doing well there too.

I think that with the metaverse it will probably be the same as with any crypto trends or in general with trends and hypes. First a new project appears that is doing something new and people and also institutions find this idea really interesting and therefore the valuation of this projects is rising like crazy. This of course is the reason why a lot of other people also want to come out with a project of the same type in order to hop on the hype train and also earn a lot of money. This happens until the market is over saturated and then 95% of those new projects are dying again.
That being said, i believe that the metaverse has a future. Maybe it will not be THE BIGGEST trend of the next decade but it will still be relevant i think.

Hmm weird. I watched the first round of the german cup this monday and there everyone said that Kostic will most likely stay in Frankfurt if nothing completely crazy, like a very high offer for him, will happen anymore. They also said that he will be one of the top earners of Frankfurt if he accects their offer to prolong his contract.
I personally think, that he should stay at Frankfurt. The fans love him there, he has won the Europa League with them and they can now even play Champions League this season. There are so many examples of players moving to another club and not really playing a important role there.

Hmm. So far i only heard negative stuff about Solana because of all the hacks that have occurred. There even was another one very recently like yesterday or so where again millions of dollars where stolen from users. I was always wondering that the price of Solana was not really reacting when such news about hacks were appearing and always remained relatively stable.
I have never really heard accusations that the team behind the project is shady or that the project itself is centralized or that they have even lied about important stuff. I alwys wanted to buy a handful of SOL once or if the price will drop below 30$, but reading your post i have to do a little more research i guess.

I also think that the chinese Teams are the big favorites to win this major. A week ago or so the Riyadh masters where happening which was not a major but a invitational tournament with a 4 Million $ price pool and there the chinese teams PSG.LGD and RNG have competed against the other regions again after a few months of being limited to compete against teams of their own region and PSG.LGD won that tournament, which is a clear sign of strength and a big statement in my opinion.
PSG.LGD is already qualified for the TI though and the price money in this major is not that high so maybe they don't go all in already because they want to save some tricks for TI, so other teams like OG could also have a chance to win this one.

I don't own any Solana myself because i missed the opportunity to buy a year ago or so when it was still below 10 $ per coin, therefore i don't follow the developments and news around Solana not that closely and still this is already the 5th or 6th hack of something solana related or something that was built upon Solana that i heard of in the last few months. I am actually surprised that the price of Solana is not really reacting that much when such events are happening. Today Solana is down a few percents more than the rest of the market but still nothing dramatic in my opinion. Of course it is very dramatic for everyone involved in the hack.
If i can get Solana for below 30$ i will probably buy a few.

As far as i know Barcelona has sold TV rights, a share of their merchandise brand, and recently also their own TV channel Barca TV. For all those assets combined they got around 600 Million € if the reports are true, which sounds like a huge amount of money at first glance, but Barca had 1,3 Billion € of debts which means they would still have 700 Million of debts if they would have used all of that 600 Million to pay back their creditors.
Of course Barca is not using that money to pay back their debts, they just keep on buying new players which is absolutely crazy to me. They had to sell their TV channel this week because otherwise they would not have even be able to register their new players Kounde and Lewandowski and they still keep on buying players. Absolutely crazy and irresponsible.

I am a notorious hodler too, which also has to do with the tax laws regarding crypto investments here in my country, because you have to pay taxes on profits that you have made while trading cryptos except if you were hodling the tokens or coins for more than 1 year then you don't have to pay taxes. That is why i hold the coins at least 1 year.
It is definitely true that you can make way higher profits if you are an active trader in comparison to someone that is just hodling but of course every trade that you are making also means that you can make a mistake. This means not only the potential profit is way higher when you are a day trader but also the chances that you lose all your money are way higher.

Even though i think that Manchester United is not a top address in European football anymore since a few years it could still be a good decision for De Jong to go their in my opinion. First of all Barcelona has such big financial problems that they had to sell another part of their TV rights just in order to be able to register Lewandowski and Kounde. As far as i know De Jong already waived salary in the last season so Barca could still be operational and now in the coming season he is supposed to get that salary on top, that is why Barca wants him to leave or that he is waiving salary again, which is a very shady move of Barca in my opinion.
At Manchester United he could at least be sure that he gets his money and maybe he can play in the Champions League next season.

Of course it is always possible that a certain project is pumping even though the whole crypto market in general is going down or is in a bear market. If a project is reaching an important milestone in development or suddenly gets a lot of attention from the public or whatever than it will still pump even if the whole market is not really that positive. Obviously it is very hard to find those few projects that may pump during a bear market before they are pumping because obviously the pump is starting as soon as the first news or rumors are spreading. During a bull market almost every projects pumps so you can not do too much wrong there.

I don't think that there is any chance that Bernardo Silva will leave Manchester City for Barcelona and there are several reasons for that. First of all he is a very important player for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City and it would be a big loss for City if they would have to let him go. He also still has a contract until 2025 so Manchester City really had no hurry here.

Also i am very surprised or maybe even shocked that Barcelona is still trying to sign new players. They are just absolutely crazy in my opinion. A few days ago they had to sell 25% of their Barca Studios to socios.com for 100 M€, because they needed that money to be able to register their new players Lewandowski and Kounde because Barcelona still has a huge amount of debts. And still they want to continue to sign new players, which is just absolutely crazy and also not responsible.
I think they need to hire someone from Germany or Scandinavia that shows them how to handle money in a responsible way, because otherwise they just keep spending money until the whole club is done.

A months ago during the peak of the meme-coin hype there were at least 100 meme-coins created each and every day, which was absolutely crazy. Most of those tokens were created on the BSC network of course because the network fees there are just way lower compared to the ones on Ethereum and most people that created meme-coins only had one reason why they did that. They wanted to make quick and dirty money without any effort. Of course now more than 99% of those meme-coins are already dead again which is a good thing for the whole crypto market in my opinion because now investors can focus again on real projects.

Yeah for me it is almost certain now that Verstappen will be the champion in this season too. Ferrari is just making way to many mistakes. You can not win a championship that way. Even though Mercedes made some impressive progress in the last few weeks, Ferrari is still a way ahead of them but they just don't manage to make that count in the race somehow.
I don't want to bash Ferrari to hard though. I mean just compare their performance this season with the one from last year. Now they have a competitive car again finally. Of course if you are risking a lot during the development of a new car you can not have such a high reliability. They really should try to stop doing those tactical mistakes though.

Well i have to say i read through the article and in the end i think it was just a promotional piece for Electroneum, which is probably the project where the OP is heavily invested in or even part of the team. I still remember back in 2017 or 2018 when Electroneum was about to launch that there was a huge hype around it because back then it was the first cryptocurrency that could be mined with your smartphone. I just checked the starts for electroneum now and it seems that this project is slowly but surely losing relevance and is going down in the coinmarketcap ranking.
For me it is always a sad thing if a project has to experience that.
