I was also very surprised when i read the news that Bale will most likely go to Los Angeles. I mean Gareth Bale is "only" 32 years old (even though he will be 33 in a few weeks) so i think he could have played at least 2 or 3 more seasons at the absolute highest level in a european league. I still remember that he was basically the hottest and most wanted player back in 2012 and 2013 before he made the move to Real Madrid for an extremely high transfer fee for that time of 101 Million €.
It's kinda sad for me to seethat a lot of people seemed to have forgotten about him in the last season and no one was really talking about him also in this transfer period so far while there are still a lot of rumors about Cristiano Ronaldo for example. A player that is 5 years older than Bale.

At the moment Bitcoin cash is trading around 115 USD. Which means it would need to make around a x17 from it's current price to reach the 2000 $ mark per coin. So a huge growth is needed in order to reach this high price so i am not sure if this is realistic at all. That being said the all time high of Bitcoin Cash was at around 3900 USD so it definitely is not impossible to reach 2000 $ in 2026 in my opinion. A lot of stuff can happen in 4 years after all.
It all depends on the overall market movement. I don't really see Bitcoin cash making a huge run by itself to be honest because there are just so much other projects out there that seem to be more innovative and future proof in my opinion.

I think it is a pretty safe thing to say that there it is completely unrealistic that Bayern Munich will try to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, even if Lewandowski will leave the club and goes to Barcelona. There are several reasons for that. It would make absolutley no sense for Bayern to invest a lot of money into a player that is already 37 years old, even if we are talking about Cristiano Ronaldo here, he is still way past his prime in my opinion. Even if he would cost only around 20 Million € of transfer fee then he will demand a salary of at least 25 Million € per season i would guess because at the moment he gets around 30 Million per season at ManU AFTER taxes.

A few weeks ago i was still thinking that in the coming season the chances for the other clubs to finally beat Bayern Munich in the race for the Bundesliga title would be as high as never before in the last few years because of all the negative sentiment that was present at Bayern at the end of the last season with their pretty bad performances in the league and so on, but now things definitely have changed their.
The surprising transfer of Sadio Mane to Bayern has totally changed the whole sentiment at the club now. Hassan Salihamidzic was criticized a lot during the last season also from his own fans but now with this transfer he gets a lot of praise suddenly. If Bayern is able to transport the positive mood into the next season, then no team can come close to them in the league i think.

Seems like you hit the timings pretty well with your buys and sells of Ethereum. Gratulations to that. You sold it pretty close to it's all time high which is always a great feeling afterwards. I would also say that Ethereum is probably the altcoin that i have the most trust in. Both in terms of general trust into the project itself and in the team behind it and of course also trust that Ethereum will remain to be the most important altcoin of them all also in the mid- and long term future. Therefore i think it is totally reasonable to invest into Ethereum now especially if you plan on holding again for a few years or so.

I have read that the agent of Cristiano Ronaldo has offered him to Bayern Munich, but that is not really something special during the summer transfer period. Agents are contacting a lot of clubs to find new clubs for their players or only to improve the negotiation situation for their clients with it's current club. Even if Cristiano Ronaldo would like to go to Bayern Munich i hardly doubt that Bayern Munich itself has any interest in signing Ronaldo. He is already 37 years old and it is said that he is earning 30 Million € after taxes currently at Manchester United. That is way more than the current top earner at Bayern gets (24 Million € before taxes).

We are in a bear market at the moment and therefore all projects, even the good and established ones have significantly lost value. This is a sad thing of course for everyone that is interested or invested in cryptos. The bright side of this though is that now you have a chance to buy good and established crypto project for a fraction of the price that you would have paid a year ago or so.
The meme-coin hype is over and the tweets of Elon Musk have little or even no effect anymore because people are used to it. I think that meme-coins will sloly but surely die out. The biggest ones will maybe remain in the top 50 but that is it. So i would definitely not invest into shit-coins.

I doubt that there is any substance to the sources that are claiming that Salah might leave Liverpool this summer to be honest. There are just zero indications that Liverpool is really planning to do that. It's the complete opposite in my opinion; Liverpool has already let Sadio Mane go to FC Bayern and Mane was also a very important player for Liverpool. So there is no chance at all for me that they would now also let their other great offensive player go to another club, because then they would be without a world class striker at the moment.
I doubt that Liverpool is so desperately in need of money that they would need to sell Salah and if they don't have to they will not sell Salah.

To be honest i don't think that we will see a new alt-season this year already. At the moment the market is still very nervous and even if the prices of almost all coins went up like 10% or so in the last few days we are still way lower with the prices then a few weeks ago. I think we will see another price drop of BTC below 20k USD and of Ethereum below 1000 maybe even lower. Once this next bumb is over i think the prices will go sideways for a few weeks or even months before we slowly but surely begin to see rising prices again.
If the market becomes positive again then usually BTC is the first coin to significantly rise and then the big altcoins follow and then again later the small cap alts will also rise. It will definitely take some time until we get there.

I just watched the sports news and there was a show about transfer rumors and they were also talking about the rumor that came up today that Ronaldo might go to Bayern Munich to replace Robert Lewandowski there. It seems though that this is really just a rumor and there is absolutely no substance to this news. Bayern official Salihamidzic also said that Ronaldo will not come to Bayern Munich and i am pretty happy that this is the case. Ronaldo earns 30 Million € after taxes at Manchester United at the moment and i would guess that he wants to earn just as much at Bayern Munich but for me that is just way to much for a 37 year old player.

It depends i think. If a casino is usually very reliable and is offering a great experience for it's customers, then one bad rating can definitely have an impact on the overall very good reputation of that casino, depending on how legit that rating is also on the reason of that negative review. If it is really a case like you mentioned in your post, where a huge amount of money is denied for a customer that did nothing wrong, then i would guess this would not only be a negative review on google but also reports about that case on website and maybe even on newspapers. Also i could imagine that stuff like that goes to a court which gives additional negative coverage.

I am part of a few launchpads and those launchpads also have telegram groups of course and this is a pretty good place to hear talks and chats about interesting new projects that are launching even if those projects are not offered by that launchpad. Whenever i hear about a project that is interesting to me i just look up their website and take a look at all the available info and documents. I read the whitepaper and if it has only a few pages or has just generic stuff written in it then this is a already a red flag for me. I also take a look at the use-case of the project, the team, the roadmap and of course also the tokenomics and the vesting schedule.
That being said, because of the bear market there are almost no new projects launching at the moment anyway.

This news comes completely out of nowhere for me to be honest. I was aware that there was some controversy because of this "Hinti-Cup" that he was organizing or that he was at least involved with, but i am really surprised that this kind of stuff is enough to make him quit his career. I mean not every player can be an absolute role model of the current trend of diversity and whatever, but that should not mean that he has to stop playing just because of that. There should be always enough room for different opinions, as long as those opinions are inside the law obviously.
Hinteregger could have played at least 5 more years.

I have never heard of Multicoin Capital before but during the bull market of 2020 and early 2021 i mainly invested into new projects because i am part of a few launchpads and back then it was definitely a sign of quality if a new project also received an investment from Alameda Research. So if this company would now completely leave the crypto market that could definitely have an impact.
Maybe i am also exaggerating and the investment volume of Alameda was relative small. I don't have the numbers about how big the total investment into the crypto markets of Alameda are maybe they are just a small fish and it has no impact at all if they are gone.

Even though Sadio Mane scored more than 20 goals for Liverpool last season i don't think that he is a proper 1 to 1 replacement for Lewandoswki to be honest. In the end Lewandowski is a central striker while Mane is a winger. I watched parts of the presentation of Sadio Mane yesterday and when Oliver Kahn was questioned about Lewandowski he said something like "we are not thinking about letting him go at the moment". This sounds to me that there is still a chance that Bayern will finally let Lewandowski move on and i would be happy if that would happen. It is never good if a player is forced to stay at a club even if he does not want to.

Do you mean that proposal where all the Solana holders could vote if a huge whale basically gets taken away his funds because otherwise he would have the power to basically bring the whole project down if he would have decided to sell sometime in the future? If i remember correctly a overwhelming majority voted which is no surprise because it was good for the network as a whole. I still don't know though what happends to the funds of that big whale. I mean they can not just take it away from him right? If that would be the case then this would be extremely unfair and also a very bad message for everyone that is interested into crypto.

I have read several times now on different newspapers and websites that Bayern had to pay 32 Million € fixed transfer fee and with all possible bonuses that number can go up to 41 Million €, so i would guess that the final amount will stay below 40 Million € which seems like a good deal for Bayern Munich in my opinion. Liverpool can also be happy with that sum i think as they already have Darwin Nunez as a replacement for Mane and now they also don't need to pay the salary of Mane anymore.
If Bayern would accept the 50 Million € offer from Barcelona for Lewandowski now then i would be completely happy with the transfer period of Bayern Munich. I just hope they don't force Lewandowski to stay if he does not want at all.

It is true that it is not easy to follow the crypto market at the moment and also your portfolio when it went down like more than 50% within the last few weeks and possibly more than 90% since the height of the last bull market back in may of 2021. Usually in a bear market the altcoins suffer way harder from falling prices then Bitcoin itself. This has been the case in all bear market if have witnessed so far and i am following the crypto space since 2017.
I don't think that any of the coins that you have listed will die, they are just to big and established already in order to completely die. If all of them stay relevant and will also rise again to new ATH's when the next bear market comes, i don't know. Some of them will some of them will probably not.

I think that in the end this is a transfer where all parties involved are happy now in the end and that's how it should be in my opinion. Mane did not really feel that he got the amount of appreciation that he deserved at Liverpool anymore. He was just as important as Mohamed Salah for their game but still there was no doubt that it was always Salah that was treated as the biggest start of the Liverpool team.
Bayern was looking for a transfer of a big player who could immediately help them to attack again for the Champions League title in the next season and Mane is probably one of the best candidates to do that.
I also think that Liverpool is happy now because they don't have to pay Mane's salary anymore and they already have signed Nunez for his replacement.

For most people that are not really interested into crypto currencies or that are just following all the events of the crypto space from the outside Bitcoin still means crypto for them and Bitcoin is basically the only crypto currency that they know of. Bitcoin just has the huge advantage that it is the project that basically invented cryptocurrency and therefore it is dominating the whole market so far.
That being said it think projects like Ethereum are way more important for the whole crypto market nowadays than Bitcoin. Without Ethereum and the introduction of the smart contract functionality all of the stuff that crypto is about nowadays like Defi and NFT's would not be possible. Maybe ETH will BTC in terms of marketcap in the future.. we will see.
