In general i think that the bigger the project, the smaller the risk. So according to that principle, Bitcoin would be the most trustable currency. That being said i don't know if we can really trust bitcoin because in the end it is not controlled by anyone. There is no person or company that could stop bitcoin by itself. Yes there are some big whales that are owning a lot of Bitcoins and there are also big mining companies that are providing a lot of hashing power but on their own none of this big holders or miners is capable of changing something within the bitcoin protocol. They can make the price dump if they are selling their coins off, but that is pretty much it.

I totally agree here. If the reports are true and the sources of that reports seem to be pretty trustful, then FC Barcelona paid Lionel Messi 555 Million € for only 4 years. That are 138,75 Million € per year which is just absolutely crazy and no single player should earn that much money. Then the covid pandemic came and FC Barcelona's extremely unstable financial construct immediately collapsed. Now they have more than 1,3 Billion € of debts but they still signed Ferran Torres for 55 M€ from ManCity and there even were reports that they wanted to sign Haaland and now there are rumours that they are trying everything to sign Lewandowski.
I really think that they should stop making such transfers until most of their debts are paid back. That is what a responsible company and club would do.

I think that this whole topic of the fitness tokens on the blockchain is the new current micro-trend or micro-hype withing the crypto space. I call it micro hype because i don't think it is that big or that important as Defi and NFT's for example, but the patterns are still the same here in my opinion. First there is a project that comes out with something new like in this case STEPN. The early investors and the team members STEPN already made a huge profit with it. This makes a lot of people try to hop on the hype train of fitness tokens and create their own with as little effort as possible to make some quick and easy money. Personally i would not invest into STEPN now, becaue i simply don't buy tokens where others already made a x30 with it in the last few weeks.

I don't watch the second Bunesliga that regurlarly but today i tuned in to the conference because the race for the places that qualify for the first Bundesliga is so close this year and i was certainly not disappointed. Werder Bremen already looked like the clear and uncontested winner today and then everything went wrong for them and they still lost in the end. The total opposite of emotions were to be seen in the match of Sandhausen vs. Schalke. After Sandhause have scored a very late equalizer Schalke still managed to win the game with a goal way into the overtime.
Bremen also still has it in their own hands though, they just need to win the last 2 games and they will go back to the first Bundesliga.

I totally agree with you here. The whole crypto market is sadly still almost entirely based about hype and the current trend. Once Axie Infinity became such a huge success and made the early investors and the early players make a lot of money we suddenly had hundreds of play2earn games coming up. The big majority of those projects just wanted to ride the hype wave of play2earn and make some quick and dirty money with it with as little effort as possible. Most of the tokens are dead already again or will be dead within a few months. The same will be true for those fitness tokens. Only a handful will survive in the end.

For me ManCity is still the big favorite in the matchup against Real Madrid, even though they won the first leg "only" with 4-3 i mean in the end a win is a win and is still a big tactical advantage for them in the first leg. I also think that the result of the first leg was very lucky for Real Madrid because they basically managed to almost make a goal out of any chance that they had while ManCity could have scored at least 2 or 3 goals more because they had that many good chances. As a neutral viewer the result of the first leg is great though as everything is still possible in the second leg and we can hope for a very open and exciting match again.

ApeCoin is really showing a strong performance in the last few days even though the market overall is going down a little. I also don't any ApeCoin myself but i personally would also not buy any at the moment as i usually avoid tokens where other people already made a fortune with. Also usually when a pump happens like it did now with ApeCoin there will also sooner or later come a phase of correction or even a dump again. So if you really want to own some ApeCoin yourself i would probably wait until it is back under 20$ at least, but of course it is also always possible that the recent price increase was just the start of a much bigger pump. No one knows.

Well after the first legs of the semi-finals it seems like your prediction has a pretty good chance of becoming true. Eintracht Frankfurt did it again and they managed to win against Westham in England with 1-2. The stastitics for this game are pretty even and even though Frankfurt had more shots on the goal they were also lucky two times when Westham only hit the post. Especially the bicycle kick shortly before the end of the match would have definitely deserved a goal. RB Leipzig had a pretty tough game against Glasgow rangers becaues even though they dominated the game they could not really create that much good chances to score and it took them 85 minutes to finally score a goal.

I am not really sure what i should think about CBDC's. I mean if there will be a official digital USD or a digital Euro in the future then i would think that those are really safe and really always pegged 1:1 to their corresponding currency. The thing with the crypto stablecoins so far is that some of them are not really stable so far, like USDNeutrino which was at like 0,70 USD a few weeks ago and even though it is now again at 0,976 USD it is still more than 2% off it's peg, which is just to much in my opinion. In addition to that we can not really know if every stable coin that is minted is really backed by a real currency, for example we don't really know if the company behind USDT can back bevery Tether that they are minting.

For me the matchup of Westham vs Frankfurt is completely open. I have seen the matches of Westham vs. Lyon and Frankfurt vs. Barca and i have to say that for me the performance of Frankfurt was way more impressive than the one of Westham as Lyon was the better team in the beginning and Westham scored their first goal completely out of nowhere.
The strongest squad of all the teams that are still in the competition though has RB Leipzig for me though. They have a very talented and young group of players and for me they are the big favorite against the Glasgow Rangers. They still need to be careful though as Glasgow already managed to win against Borussia Dortmund

I also don't think that we will have a world without FIAT currencies anymore where everything is done with cryptocurrencies within the next 100 years or so, i just can not see that happen. I think those two types of currencies will still coexist for a very long time and i also don't think that this is a bad thing. To have some cash in your wallet in the form of coins or banknotes also feels pretty good because you have something physical to touch and the value is not just digital.
Regarding what kind of crypto token or coin will survive i think it is obvious that only the ones with a real use case and functionality will survive and will still be there in a few years. So i would stay away from meme-coins.

After yesterdays great and exciting match between ManCity and Real Madrid we saw a very one sided and pretty boring match today to be honest, but i also think that this had to be expected. Villareal did a great job defending all of Liverpool attacks and in the end it needed an extremely lucky goal for Liverpool to score the 1-0 lead. Henderson wasn't even shooting at the goal but his cross was so massively deflected that it went directly into the goal. That was extremely unlucky for Villareal and it definitely broke their back to day, especially when Mane scored the second goal for Liverpool only a few minutes after that. Now it is 95% certain for me that Liverpool will be in the final this year.

For me the whole crypto space is going in hype cycles most of the time. There are always current trends and hypes that are dominating the crypto market and the media for a certain amount of time until the hype slows down back to a normal level. At the moment everything is still talking about Defi and it's many applications and use cases and also NFT's. Defi is a special topic though as i don't think that it is just a current hype that will go away again, i am sure that Defi will be a very important part of the crypto space for the future. Privacy coins are just not really in the focus of the most people at the moment. Maybe this will change again in the future.

The match yesterday really was a banger and the best thing about it was that i really did not expect the match to be that open and to have that many great scenes in the offense, but somehow both teams decided that the defense is not that important. I think this match will definitely go down as one of the best semi-finals of the Champions League ever. The best thing for me as a neutral fan is that the outcome of this matchup is still completely open and that both teams still have a realistic chance to advance into the final. Still i expect the second leg to not be that offensive and exciting then the first leg, but we will see.

I don't really think that this can happen. I mean in the end Dogecoin is just a meme-coin. The recent news of Elon Musk taking over twitter have caused another nice price pump for Dogecoin which went up like 30% two days ago but if you are looking at the prices today then Dogecoin is amongst the coins that has the highest losses today so far. I can imagine that Dogecoin will still experience some price pumps here and there, especially if Elon Musk continues to increase his influence on social media or anywhere else and if he mentions Dogecoin somewhere again then i am also sure we see another price jump but i don't think that it will be as big as when he first mentioned Dogecoin, because back then it was a surprise, now it's nothing new.

I totally agree. It happens pretty often that such important games with two very big teams involved are not really that exciting in the end, but today's game was totally different. For me it was definitely one of the best big international games that i have seen in the last few years and because i was a completely neutral football fan today i could enjoy every minute of it. I have to admit though that i was not very happy when ManCity was up 2-0 already after 10 minutes because i was hoping for a very open and exciting match and back then it did look like a clear win for ManCity. Real Madrid is really strong mentally though and they managed to come back three times today and therefore everything is still possible in the second leg.

I don't really think that you can do anything that you don't receive such tokens at all. In the end all data is on the blockchain including the public address of your wallet if you hare holding any token or have interacted with a contract or whatever. I would guess that the creators of such useless tokens are just exporting lists of wallet addresses that are holding certain tokens and then they bulk send their token to all those addresses. This is not happening that often anymore on the ETH chain because the fees are so high, which is probably the only positive effect of the high eth fees, but on the BSC chain i have also dozens of such tokens in my wallet. The best thing is to never interact with them at all.

I don't know if we really need another copy of Counter Strike or Dota 2. Recently i tuned into a Stream of Valorant because the viewer numbers for that game were so high because of a big tournament and this was the first time i watched valorant gameplay and i have to say i was really surprised and almost shocked how similar this game is to counter strike. I mean it is literally a copy of CSGO with some other elements that were "stolen" from Overwatch. It is surprising to me that this game is so popular and that so many people seem to be supporting such a blatant copy.
So i really don't think we need another CSGO clone and Dota 2 is already completely free2play and has the biggest price money in the industry.

As other in this thread already said, it probably has to do with the pretty big news that Elon Musk wants to acquire the majority of the Twitter shares which basically makes him the owner of twitter. Even though this news has not really have anything to do with crypto it still pumped up the Dogecoin price quite a bit as Elon Musk is known for his tweets about Dogecoin and i guess this was enough to pump the price. I personally would not invest into Dogecoin now as the pump of this news has already happened now and i don't think that there will be more upcoming news that would make the price go up even more.

The match today is definitely a blockbuster and in terms of the teams that are involved it is also the way more interesting match up in the semi final of the Champions League. At least in theory, because we all know that sometimes it all goes down completely different than expected in football. This match could also easily be a great final with two great teams and i think it will be a very close game where the daily form and also luck will decide who will go to the final in the end. For me ManCity is the favorite still because they are just the strongest team in the world for me at the moment. Real has already proven this season they that they can beat any team though.
