I doubt that Chelsea is even interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo. I mean it definitely makes sense to discuss the transfer of such extremely skilled and effective striker but just because you are thinking about something does not mean that you are really wanting to sign him in the end. It is the same with Bayern Munich. It is also pretty much confirmed now that Ronaldo also was a topic that was discussed at Bayern Munich but in the end they decided to not try to sign him, which was a good decision in my opinion. Yes Ronaldo is a still a great player but not the best in the world anymore and he still wants to be paid like he is the best.

I don't follow the development of play2earn games that closely at the moment as the whole crypto market is down and because play2earn games where a pretty new trend within the crypto space they were dropping even more in price than other projects. I don't think that there are play2earn games out there that are really hot at the moment. I also don't think that you can earn real money with them if you are not willing to invest even a little amount of money upfront. If that would be the case then those projects would already be dead because the token would not have any value at all. I know that it would be a dream for a lot of people to make an income just by playing without having to pay anything, but that is just not possible.

I personally think that both Upamecano and Hernandez are really great central backs. It is true though that especially Upamecano had a pretty rough first season at Bayern and did not really perform that well. I think though that he will be able to show great performances again once he becomes more used to the new club and also gets more confidence.
Still a transfer of De Ligt would totally make sense for Bayern in my opinion. The big problem could be that Juve probably wants around 80M € for him which is a huge amount. Maybe if Bayern will sell Lewandowski for 40 M€ or even more then De Ligt could come. That would be my personal wish.

I personally stay away from meme-coins. To be honest for me those are just shit-coins. Just look at how the whole meme-coin hype started last year. Elon Musk made a few tweets about Dogecoin and that was it. After that Dogecoin pumped and a lot of people wanted to make some quick and easy money by creating a meme-coin themself. Creating a new ERC-20 or BSC token is really easy and so we had like 100's of new meme-coins appearing each week during the height of the meme-coin hype.
99% of those are all dead now again obviously and only a few of them like Shiba-Inu are still there.
The longterm trend for meme-coins is downwards in my opinion because they are completely useless.

I also just read about the breaking news about Nadals withdrawal and to be honest i was not really that surprised. Nadal has a very long history with injuries and especially in the last 5 years he hardly had series of a few months where he was not hindered by any injury. In the last few weeks and months it looked like he had his chronic issue on his foot pretty much under control and now he has something else. That is really very unlucky for Nadal. I think though that it was the absolute right decision to withdraw from Wimbledon now. I read that the tear in his abs is already 7 mm long and it probably would have become larger and larger if he would have continued to play now.
Now he can make a break for a few weeks and then start to train again and he should be fit for the US open.

I agree that in general inflation of a coin has always negative impacts on the price of a crypto project and to be honest i don't really understand it why some teams behind crypto projects decide to make their tokenomics in a way that the emission of new coins never stops not even in a few dozen years. Polkadot is a good example for that. It is a great project no doubt about that but if the total supply of polkadot would not be infinite then i think the price per DOT would be even higher than it is now.
Another example for an unlimited total supply is Radix. There you get around 11% of APY on your staked coins. There are some calculations out there about how many transaction are needed in order to become deflationary, but at the moment it is definitely inflationary too.

It seems like that the new owners of Chelsea are just as willing to spend money for transfers as Abramovich was, good for them, bad for financial fair play, but no one really cares about financial fair play anyway it appears. I think that Cristiano Ronaldo is still good enough to help every club in the world. Ronaldo was smart enough to change his play style a few years back. When he was young he was extremely spectacular to watch as he was dribbling a lot. Now he is basically a pure striker since a few years and a very good and effective one.
The problem for me is that Ronaldo probably wants a salary of around 30 M€ or even more, for me that is just to much for a player that is 37 years old, even if he was the best player in the world a few years ago.

I bought some Waves two weeks ago or so when they were at around 4,45$ per coin. I had some waves before but i sold a few weeks ago when Waves had that pump and i sold them for around 51$ per coin. Now i used a part of the stable coins that i got from that selling to buy back double the amount of waves that i had before. Now i am having still a few stablecoins ready to invest into other projects. I was looking at Solana and Cosmos but it seems like i have missed the bottom for now. I will not buy solana now for 39 USD per coin when i could have get them for like 28$ per coin only two weeks ago. Same with cosmos.

I am not really sure that the Bayern officials really think that Barcelona won't exist anymore in a few years because i doubt that they would say such a thing about a respected competitor.
That being said, it is no secre that Barcelona has debts of more than 1,3 Billion € which is an absolutely huge number. There was a club meeting a few weeks back where all the club members voted about important decisions and they decided that Barca sells his Merchandise Brand, part of it's TV rights and other stuff in order to generate around 600 Million € of income.
For me it is still hard to understand they that they want to take a big part of that 600 M€ to invest into new players, that is absolutely irresponsible in my opinion. They should not even be allowed to do that in my opinion. They should bring their debts down to a normal level first (below 500 M€ or something) before they start paying a lot for new players again, but that is not the spanish way i guess.

As others in this thread already said there can be a lot of different reasons why a project team has to update or switch to a new token with a new smart contract address and just for fun is not the reason in 99% of the cases in my opinion. The first and most severe one for me is that there was a major bug in the first smart contract code. In that case you have to halt the blockchain or remove the liquidity from the token until you have a fix for the bug and then the old tokens can be swapped for the new ones.
Another reason is that the project is building it's own chain but is not finished with it yet. Then you get a ERC-20 or BSC token and once the own chain is done you can swap to the new native tokens. Radix did it that way for example.

You are right that Verstappen was pretty unlucky in the last race and he definitely did not enjoy racing last weekend. If i remember correctly, then he has lost pieces of his underbody chassis which had severe impacts on the balance of the car which made it like half a second slower per lap than it usually is. He almost lost the 7th position to Schumacher close to the end of the race, so i think Verstappen did as well as he could under this circumstances.
Leclerc was unlucky again too though, he stayed out when the last Safety car came and therefore Sainz and Perez could easily overtake him with their new tyres. I am happy for Sainz for his first win, but Leclerc just has no luck at the moment.

The market really is quite volatile and unstable in the last couple of weeks and months. I doubt though that there are single whales responsible for this. I think that Bitcoin and Ethereum for example have become so big in the last few years that it is almost impossible for a whale or for a handful of whales to manipulate the price of this projects. What really brought the market down to todays level was the collapse of Terra Luna two months ago in my opinion because it was totally unexpected for most people that a top 10 project in terms of marketcap could collapse so fast and easily and since then the crypto space is full of fear and uncertainty.

I watched the transfer report of a german sports news channel today and they said that De Ligt really wants to come to Bayern Munich because he is convinced that the way that Bayern wants to play next season is totally fitting for him. Another factor that could really make that deal happen is the fact that Juventus is very willing to let De Ligt go because they could still get a pretty high transfer fee for him because he has a contract until the end of june 2024. The big problem could be that Juve will probably only let De Ligt go if they get 80 M€ for him which could be too much for Bayern Munich. In my opinion Bayern should sell Lewandowski for 40 M€+ to Barca and then try to get De Ligt.

In general i would say that staking is usually always worth it if you are planning to hold for a long time anyway. Why just hold the coin in your wallet doing nothing when you can just stake it and get a nice APY on top. In your case that would be 18,25% which is quite a lot. A pretty high APY like that can always be harmful to the price.
You are planning to hodl the coin anyway so i don't see any reason why you should not stake them, if you don't have to do a weird time lock or something on your tokens where you can not really react to the market anymore. You have to check that. There are protocols that only let you withdraw like 1 or 2% per day once you have locked them for staking.

The transfer of Christian Erisken to Manchester United is definitely a win/win situation for all the parties involved in my opinion. Christian Eriksen was definitely one of the top midfielders in Europe a few years ago. Then of course he suffered that cardiac arrest during a game with his national team which was a shock for everyone that as involved but also for the viewers. But that was over a year ago now and it seems like Eriksen is a great shape again.
If he reaches his top level again then i think that ManU and it's fans will have a lot of fun with him and that he can really help the club to reach it's goals again after a horrible last season.

Even though i dislike meme-coins with all of my heart because i really think that the meme-coin hype wave of last year where hundreds of new meme-coins appeared each and everyday were very harmful for the crypto market as a whole because they took away attention and also funds of course from "real" projects that were actually trying to achieve something, i have to say that i will always have a soft spot for Dogecoin. I will probably never invest into Dogecoin myself because i simply avoid meme-coins but i think the project as a whole is pretty likeable.
Regarding the price of Dogecoin. I don't really know what to expect from it because especially meme-coins are extremely hard to predict in my opinion. I think both outcomes are possible.

I personally think that the chance of Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Manchester United are extremely slim to be honest. I mean it is a totally normal thing that the agents of players are reaching out to many different clubs to offer the services of their players to them during the transfer period in the summer. They are doing that even if the players do not really want to leave their current club just to improve their position for the next upcoming salary negotiations.
I can not imagine Ronaldo leaving Manchester United because as far as i know he is earning around 30 Million € per year their after taxes, which is a huge amount. I highly doubt that there is any other big club out there that would offer Ronaldo a salary this high. Maybe PSG because it is only the money of the sheikh there.

Well if you assume that the price is not going any lower than it is now then of course it would be a great time to invest into Ethereum now but i don't really know if that really was the question because that does not make that much sense to me. Regarding the relatively low Eth transaction fees at the moment: It is definitely a good opportunity at the moment to do some transactions that you have not done yet on the ETH chain because of the high fees. I personally still have to claim a few coins from different launchpads where i took part in the sale but so far i have not claimed them because of the high fees obviously. That being said those projects have lost so much value that the fees are probably still higher at the moment then the worth of the tokens  .

It really was a weird race today. First of all i have to say that the team behind the F1 broadcast did a really good job with the accident of Zhou. They did not show any footage of the crash until they knew that Zhou was fine, which was a pretty classy act in my opinion even though of course i really wanted to see what happened.
Verstappen was pretty unlucky today as he has won the first start and was leading the race but because of that big crash and the red flag they had to do restart. Not only did he not win that start again he also got damage to his car and could only finish the race in the 7th position.
I am happy for Sainz for hist first win and also for Mick Schumacher for his first point.

Well it is definitely always a good news if a cryptocurrency is accepted as a payment for a service that is relatively well known. I think that a few years ago like in 2017 or so news like this would be a pretty big thing but nowadays crypto is already pretty mainstream in my opinion and news like that are really nothing special anymore. Also the current bear market is dominating everything and this is another reason why i think that this news will probably not have much impact on the price of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu.
In the end those two are just useless meme-coins anyway and the long term trend for those two coins is downwards in my opinion.
