181  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Current Financial Market Condition on: August 23, 2022, 03:24:41 AM
In my opinion, current financial market conditions are all running normally, and this is not a problem that we should think about, especially as a small sword that does not have a major influence on current financial market conditions. the most important thing for us is to understand how to deal with it, if the dollar strengthens then what should we do and vice versa when the dollar is down. so we must learn about it so we don't get caught in a bad market situation.
No, they're not running normally.

Inflation rates are high, there is a war that's making things crazy and another possible wars that could come in for which will make us all suffer for real.

Why you wouldn't think about doing things that will affect us when all of these wars are triggered? You need to think on how you're going to spend your time and money wisely just in case you go hit directly by these wars.


Many bad things happened in this world, such as very high inflation, then the impact of the war between Russia and Ukraine worsened
the economic situation. Moreover, the impact of the pandemic is still being felt until now, the conclusion is that the current financial market
condition is not normal. Like you said we have to be wiser in spending our time and money, look for activities that can generate even more money.
One of them is investing in crypto, therefore start collecting potential coins in the current bear market situation. Then hold the coins until
the market recovers, to be safer we have to invest in other assets, because investment diversification is very important. It is much better
for our lifestyle to be more frugal, it will help us survive in today's bad economic situation.

3 games: 17 goals scored and 3 goals conceded...

This is a magical start for PSG to the league. The unbelievable win against Lille is already among the best games PSG have had in the league. I always want to see the trio playing like this. They can be unstoppable if they do this regularly. But this is of course a piece-of-cake league for PSG. We will see their real strength in the Champions League.

PSG so far in Ligue 1 is very superior by winning 3 wins with a very large score. The most impressive thing is how PSG beat Lille with a score of 1-7
while playing away, and in that match PSG's front line played extraordinary. This is all because Galtier's strategy is working well, what I admire
about Galtier is that he can control the ego of the star players at PSG. Whereas previously it was reported that there was a dispute between Neymar
and Mbappe, but in the match against Lille, the collaboration between Neymar and Mbappe is extraordinary. Even Messi this season has started to show
his best performance. Besides that, PSG's defense is also quite solid and it is very natural to concede 3 goals in 3 matches.  It seems that PSG management's decision to appoint Galtier as PSG's main coach is very appropriate, and also Galtier so far has proven that he is worthy of replacing Pochettino.

Seen how the strength of Bayern Munich can not be doubted. They are the club with the highest goal productivity and with their strong defense (for the Bundesliga). It would be more interesting if they did that in the Champions League, where the opponents they face are stronger and more prepared than here (Bundesliga). But I have a little doubt about them in the Champions League.


it seems difficult to break the dominance of bayern munich in the bundesliga, in the first three games of the season, bayern munich scored a lot of goals. I am optimistic that Bayern Munich will again win its domestic league title for the eleventh time in a row.
not much can be expected from dortmund to compete with bayern, especially for leverkusen which in its three matches suffered a loss in a row.
So, I agree with you. it will be more interesting to see the performance of bayern munich when competing in the champions league, which incidentally there are many formidable opponents and are on par with bayern munich.

The Bundesliga is just into its third week, but the 3 teams previously in the top 4 are off to a bad start. Especially for Leipzig and Leverkusen which
in 3 consecutive matches failed to win. While Dortmund as the strongest competitor for Bayern in the Bundesliga, was surprisingly defeated by Bremen
at home. Then Bayern as usual always appear dominant, winning with a big score against Bochum is a sign that Bayern can't be stopped in the Bundesliga.

I'm sure this season Bayern will have no trouble winning the Bundesliga trophy again, moreover, losing Lewandowski doesn't seem to have a big impact
on Bayern's performance. Sadio Mane managed to replace Lewandowski's role as a goal machine at Bayern, in 3 games in the Bundesliga scoring 3 goals
it's been a good start for Sadio Mane. It seems that it is only in the Champions League that Bayern have strong competitors and puts Bayern under pressure.
Even though Bayern dominate the Bundesliga, I am still quite entertained watching some Bundesliga matches.

Everyday we wake up and i ask is btc long or short.
Nowdays this is biggest question and most important one
We wake up morning we ask is the day gona be LONG or SHORT day
Many people asking thus everyday will be short or long and how short or how long will be long or short.
Before we go to bed we think isit going to be short or long if we leave position open for the night.

So yeah.



In life there are many unexpected things, if we ask too much whether bitcoin can last for long or not the same question is when we sleep whether we will wake up again or not, life is simple, as long as bitcoin is still valuable then take advantage of it and if it is not profitable then leave, I know bitcoin in 2013 but I stopped in 2018 to 2021 or 3 years stop from cryptocurrencies.

That's right, don't make our lives more burdensome after knowing Bitcoin, by thinking about Bitcoin every day. We have to remember that
too much of anything is not good, so we have to treat Bitcoin properly, and don't be too obsessed with Bitcoin. Remember we live not only
to think about Bitcoin, many other important things in our lives. Usually people who make Bitcoin as a short-term investment, indeed have to
monitor the price of Bitcoin every day. Therefore, if we find it difficult to do that, invest in Bitcoin for the long term. So we don't need to monitor
Bitcoin every day and don't have to think about Bitcoin every day. In the end, it depends on each of us how to use Bitcoin, don't let Bitcoin interfere
with our daily activities. Find a way so that we can invest in Bitcoin without interfering with our personal lives.

Almost all the fav teams lost the match by the looks of it and one could consider a draw for a highly ambitious team like Manchester City as a loss. Only Arsenal remain as the team who've won all matches. Next couple of fixtures for Arsenal seem to be easy win for them as well. So, there's a highly likely chance that we could see Arsenal win first 5 games of the season. How often does that happen? So far so good.

Unexpectedly Man City failed to win against Newcastle, meaning that only Arsenal achieved perfect results with 3 wins in a row. Even if you look at
Arsenal's next fixture, it is true that at least Arsenal can continue their winning streak for at least two more games. Because Fulham and Aston Villa
who are Arsenal's next opponents have quality players below Arsenal, moreover the confidence of Arsenal's players is now very high, and also
in the next two games Arsenal play at home. So the possibility of Arsenal winning 5 consecutive wins in the Premier League is very possible.
So far Arteta is doing well as Arsenal coach, and deserves to be the best manager in August if Arsenal in the next match beat Fulham.

Definitely, Cryptocurrency is not a get-rich-quick scheme but many scammers and fraudulent companies take advantage of the people's greed to get their money and exit scam quickly.  The created project under cryptocurrency especially those groups who take advantage of the trends and buzz words often convey to the investors that crypto is a get-rich-quick scheme shouldn't be supported because these projects often end up as a scam or make investors suffer a huge loss.

If people didn't become greedy, those projects wouldn't be able to scam them either. It is investors' greed and eagerness to get rich that make them victims of such scams. If everyone has prior knowledge to enter the market and invest seriously, slowly, no scam projects will be created.

The scammers have seen the greedy scheme of investors, so they took advantage of that loophole to create scam projects that hit the get-rich-quick mentality of investors.

Whereas most scammers use the same methods to deceive investors, but because there are always investors who are greedy and very obsessed
with big profits. So in the end there are always investors who become victims of fraud. That's why it is always recommended, especially for newbies
to learn correctly about the crypto world, before finally deciding to invest in crypto. That's because there are so many frauds in the crypto world,
which takes advantage of the lack of knowledge of some investors and also the high level of human greed. Because if we know how the crypto world
works and can control our greed, we should realize that crypto can not get rich instantly. It takes quite a long process and also patience until finally
we can become rich from crypto. So avoid if there are other people who offer investments in new projects that promise big profits in a short time,
it is a sign of deception.

1-1 and 5 minutes to the end.
A 1-1 draw I think is good enough for AC Milan because the opponents they face are quite strong, especially since this match is an away match, where the percentage is a little difficult to steal full points from the host. AC Milan game was also very good in this match, AC Milan was able to shoot 18 shots and 7 of them were on target, this is a pretty good statistic. However, this result did not make Stefano Pioli satisfied because he hoped to get full points but the conditions on the field said otherwise.

I think the draw is fair enough for Atalanta and AC Milan, because they both played quite well and are strong teams in Serie A. Although the match
statistics show that AC Milan is dominating the match, but because they played away and the opponent they faced was a strong team, it was only
natural that AC Milan failed to win. In my opinion, it is still understandable that AC Milan faced Atalanta failed to win. Although making AC Milan
behind by Napoli and Inter who managed to win. Therefore, in the next match against Bologna, I hope AC Milan does not waste the opportunity to win.
After all, Bologna's next opponent is a weak team, which in two matches only managed to get one point, so AC Milan should be able to beat Bologna
easily in the next match.
188  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can Day Trading be profitable in Crypto ? on: August 21, 2022, 08:18:04 PM
Daily trading must require concentration and a clear mind, of course you must also have the ability to analyze by scalping,
because otherwise traders will not be able to trade daily, and must go to futures trading if you want to trade daily,
because if you have it all, I'm sure $10 per day will also be achieved,
$10 per day is not bad, actually. But this is not gonna be enough nor to be contented for this. As traders, aiming high, becoming greedy wasn't impossible and this is the reason why we work hard, improve our knowledge and skill, and find effective strategies - it gonna be rewarded for sure.

From $10 daily profit to $30-$40 - that can be achieved. I guess no pressure on our ends Grin, but we need to focus on our traders and make it more strategical and to make it real.
Well, it is obvious that if you earn 10usd a day, it is something worthwhile, because you are being profitable and obviously as long as you continue to earn that figure, you can increase it much more as you have more money, because due to experience and how the market is analyzed, many more risks can be taken, this is subjective, I also believe that trading is for professionals, not just anyone does trading, many focus only on knowing how to do one type of work, but trading is the copy that you can lose a lot, in some cases everything, so for me trading is a profession that still does not have a degree in a university, but it should be.


Day trading can be a very good source of income if we can generate profits on a regular basis, moreover being able to make $10 per day is worth it.
But it's not easy to do day trading, It takes good analytical skills and experience is also very decisive. I agree that day trading is not for everyone,
only professional people can successfully make day trading a profession. Even I who have more than 5 years of knowing the crypto world, still fail
to do day trading, meaning that it is not easy to achieve success when doing day trading. It takes practice regularly to improve our trading skills,
and the process usually takes a long time. That's only people who don't give up who can succeed in day trading, so day trading is very profitable
if we can do it well, the problem is that it takes patience and hard work to be able to successfully do day trading.
189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: August 20, 2022, 07:32:47 PM
In today's matches, I bet on the victories of the hosts. Both Monaco and Olympique Marseille unexpectedly shared points with their rivals in the previous round. However, I believe that both teams will count in the fight for promotion to the Champions League in this season, so matches like today should win.
The Monaco team seems to be the favorite in today's match. However, Monaco's performance against Rennes was not good. Rennes' players attacked a lot but Monaco played a defensive strategy. But since today's match is Monaco's home match, I want to put Monaco ahead. However, I don't think the possibility of the match being a draw is low.
Monaco vs Lens just finished and result is unexpected because no one just having prediction like this for Monaco as they were playing at home, and they were completely crap as second match at home and having no positive result is surely going to be terrible for them in coming matches in today game Lens were completely in control and not allowing them to play freely which create problems, and they have five yellow cards which is also not good enough for them.

After having first win against Strasbourg they fail in both matches at home and have just one point is looking for positive development and change in tactics because if they play again like this then surely they could be not near as they were in last season now they are going to face PSG in next match on road which is also a big test for them.

I was very surprised to see the result of the match Monaco vs Lens, I didn't expect Monaco to play badly at home for the second time.
Even Lens dominated  the match and the attacks that Lens built were very effective, no wonder Lens was able to score 4 goals. Monaco's game in
the second half was worse, Monaco's players looked frustrated by committing so many fouls. Not surprisingly Vanderson had to get a red card
in the 72nd minute, this is the second red card that Monaco has received after the previous match Monaco also received a red card. It seems
that Philippe Clement as Monaco coach should be able to make Monaco players more able to control their emotions, because two red cards in
two games in a row is not a good thing.

Then Monaco's last two games in Ligue 1 have been terrible, in two games can only get one point. Moreover, Monaco next has to face PSG as
the strongest team in Ligue 1. This is a tough task for Clement to think of an effective strategy to be able to face PSG. Moreover, PSG is in
its best form, most likely Monaco will struggle against PSG, so facing PSG will be an important match for Monaco. If Monaco can achieve positive
results against PSG, it will increase the confidence of Monaco's players.

FC Everton against Nottingham Forest will be the most interesting game today i think. Everton are 18th position in the league and Nottingham are on the road with a lot of motivation from the last game. They win against West Ham United, they were in the Europa League final this year. The betting odds on Nottingham are 4.3 - I think that's high.

Although the match Everton vs Nottingham Forest is not one of the matches that I will watch this week. But I'm quite curious about the outcome of
the match, especially Nottingham Forest which has a target of wanting to stay in the Premier League and not wanting to be relegated again.
Which Nottingham have shown their fighting spirit in previous matches, Nottingham managed to surprise many people, after they managed to beat
West Ham. Even though West Ham had better quality players and dominated the match, it must be admitted that Nottingham's defense was very solid,
to frustrate West Ham players.

Now Nottingham will face Everton who are still battling for a first win of the season, because Everton having lost two games.  But my prediction is
the Everton vs Nottingham match will end in a draw, because Everton are playing at home and this is an opportunity for Everton to get points
against Nottingham who have not much different quality players. While the Nottingham players have high confidence after successfully defeating
West Ham, so Nottingham won't let them beat by Everton. So indeed a draw that makes the most sense would happen and a fair result for both teams.
191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which one do you think its more healthy for a project on: August 20, 2022, 08:01:07 AM
Most especially new projects do you think its healthy to rush things up or take a lot of time and gradually release updates and follow roadmaps slowly? There are some complains that most projects aren't following the exact timing on their roadmap and some even takes this is Red Flag.
I personally think that a slight delay was not a problem as long as the project developers can deliver what they have written in their roadmap. The thing might be different if they were giving a very long delay. that may make investors feel bad with it.
You must also know that if that was also a red flag to the project caused by the dev was not competence to continue its development.
To think that the project already shows a red flag from the start, then there’s no reason to trust it anymore and continue to invest. Except for those good projects who are really trying their best to meet the deadline and follow the roadmap, they deserve to be understood and should gained our trust. Other than that, projects that are only rich in their promises but seem to have less in action, I think they are not worth of our penny.

Why do we take the risk of investing in new projects that have been marked with a red flag, meaning that projects should be avoided. In contrast
to new projects that experience delays and do not follow the time according to the roadmap schedule, but the development team can give
a clear reason, it's still tolerable. But still it would be much better to choose projects that always follow the roadmap. Because these projects mean
to prepare carefully and more professionally, so it really deserves the trust of investors. Because of healthy projects, the team of developers is always
active in providing regular developments according to the roadmap schedule, and have a good support service by answering all questions of
investors related to projects. We have to be careful investing in new projects right now, many new projects that have sprung up ended up being scams,
so do research and analysis in depth, so that we can choose projects that have real potential and have a bright future.
192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: August 19, 2022, 11:06:47 PM
Another bad result for sevilla team especially when its a draw in their own stadium, they really needed the win and it was in the palm of their hands since they faced a team with many problems as we've seen on the first round, it seems that sevilla team has both defensive and offensive problems from the 18 goal attempts they had, only two were on target which is really low it seems that they need fresh legs or some strategy changes.

To be honest, I was not surprised by the result of the Sevilla vs Valladolid match which ended in a draw.  Because if we look at the record for meeting
the two teams, which have been the last 3 matches with identical results. Which in the last 3 matches always ended in a draw with a score of 1-1,
and now the match Sevilla vs Valladolid ended with the same incident. This means that Sevilla and Valladolid repeat their head to head with the same
identical results 4 times in a row. This is a very rare occurrence in the world of football, at least this result is an improvement for the two teams which
in the previous game lost. But for Sevilla, which the previous season was in the top 4, they must immediately improve their performance,  if this season
they want to get back into the top 4. I hope Sevilla next face Almeria can get their first win of the season.
193  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is bitcoin bear market over? on: August 19, 2022, 12:15:28 PM
With what is happening in the market now, a bear market may still be in the market as the price is back down to $22k and the red candle is still holding. All of this makes bitcoin still unpredictable where it will go and although a lot of people out there say after this, market conditions will get better, that's still hope. We can continue to hope that the market will get better even though we don't know when that will happen and with the current situation, we are still lucky to be allowed to buy bitcoin at a low price. Who knows, in the next month, the rally for bitcoin will come again so that we are ready to sell the bitcoins we have at a higher price.

The failure of the Bitcoin price to rise above $25k, it indicates that the bear market will continue and it seems it's not over yet. According to my prediction,
the bear market will likely continue until the end of this year. Whereas previously the market looked very positive when Bitcoin touched the price of $24k,
but unexpectedly now the price of Bitcoin is back down to $21k. As you said the price of Bitcoin is difficult to predict, but as long as we think positively
about Bitcoin, we don't need to panic the Bitcoin price goes down again. Because no matter how deep the price of Bitcoin falls, someday it will
definitely recover. So if we really believe that the Bitcoin price will recover, even though we don't know when it will happen, what we do is just holding
the Bitcoin we have today. If we have money, we can buy Bitcoin whenever the price goes down. Because accumulating Bitcoin will allow us to generate
large profits when the price of Bitcoin suddenly rises.
194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 19, 2022, 07:50:59 AM

I have fear and I have doubt in this new season. With the way the season started it can be right to day that Manchester City will be the champions again. It is always difficult to bit Manchester City when they are leading with only 1 point and now Liverpool has already lost 4points to clubs that are not big. It will be a difficult season for Klopp and his boys this time around. For Manchester United, maybe Liverpool can be their first win if they apply same energy they used in preseason now that their Martial is back.
I can't say Manchester City will win the league now, the league is still at the early stages. Manchester city are  on top of their game now but it's possible that they might drop in form along the way or hit stumbling block along the way to injuries, anything can happen in the league, in the middle of the season we will see who maintains top form and who drops. Manchester city will be contenders but it is too early to predict City to win the league.

What you say is true, right now it is too early to judge who will win the Premier League trophy. There are still many possibilities that can happen,
and there is no guarantee that Man City can perform consistently until the end of the season. So there is still a possibility for Liverpool to catch up
on the points that Man City has, or even another team that will be the winner of the Premier League trophy. Everything starts to be predictable
in the middle of the season, or around the end of 2022 it will start to see which teams have the chance to win the Premier League trophy.
But if we look at Guardiola's character, looks like he won't let the other teams chase the points that Man City have. Like when in the previous season,
Man City and Liverpool are only one point apart, Guardiola managed to make Man City the Premier League trophy winners finally. We'll see if it's going
to happen again this season, but to make the Premier League even more interesting I hope there will be another surprise this season.
195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The future of privacy coin is not looking good on: August 19, 2022, 03:43:55 AM
I have few privacy coins in my wallet and the future regulation and the hatred from government on privacy coin making me feel like I've made the wrong choice, what do you think? Is this something to worry about? Or not

Regulation really gives privacy coins a hard time in terms of adoption.  The government are very wary of money laundering and often accuse cryptocurrency as the mean to launder money.  Many exchanges delist privacy coins due to the fear of government action that may bring big problems to the exchange if they keep privacy coins in their listed cryptocurrency.  This greatly affect the adoption and promulgation of the privacy coin.

Basically many people really like something that can maintain their privacy in any case. Including when someone makes financial transactions
if privacy can be maintained, they will feel more secure and comfortable. That's what finally created a crypto asset in the form of a privacy coin,
which is better able to disguise information, and that makes many crypto communities use privacy coins to carry out financial transactions.
So it's not surprising that some privacy coins are finally pumped up, because of the high demand for privacy coins. But many criminals abuse
privacy coins to make it difficult for the police. So the government finally tried to ban the use of privacy coins on several centralized exchanges,
which makes the demand for privacy coins decrease and finally now privacy coins are no longer profitable for investment. So the future of
privacy coins does not look good, and if anyone is planning to invest in coins privacy, think again, it will only cost us money.
196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 18, 2022, 11:20:23 PM
What you say is true but for Manchester United to be able to compete in some competitions I think Ten Hag still need 3 to 4 more players,
If given the opportunity, young players will show their best but we can't expect them to play consistently.
they are still young and need a process to develop
Signing 3 to 4 players in the remaining time of the transfer window which is only counting today is not an easy thing.
on the other hand, they also really like the difficulty of which part they have to add because in almost all lines of their performance there are many things that need to be improved.
I think the homework for Ten Hag at the moment is huge and hopefully he can get through this and bring United better.

The transfer market will soon close, but Man United is still struggling to bring in some new players. I think it was a mistake Man United spent too long
focusing on signing De Jong, which in the end the player did not want to join Man United. Finally, Man United is just busy now bringing in other
new players, which the transfer market will close soon. Even though buying new players is not as easy as it seems, have to go through a negotiation
process which sometimes takes a long time. Even though Erik ten Hag needs some new players to improve the performance of Man United which is
getting worse. As you said it is a tough task for Erik ten Hag as a new coach to be able to make Man United find his best game again. I hope that before
the transfer window closes Man United can get some additional new players, because expecting the current squad is quite difficult to make Man United
bounce back.

The absence of Nunez will definitely be felt, I think Firminho will have to come in to replace Nunez. Liverpool have a stronger attack that can penetrate United's shaky defense. Harry Maguire and Martinez will have to work so much and be on their heals through out the 90mins of the game. I hope Manchester United can get a point from the game to boost their confidence for the next round of the competition.
Yes, Firminho will replace Nunez. I think there will be no problem with Liverpool attacking. I even think that Firminho is still better than Nunez since he already played with Liverpool for a longer time. Firminho can play more solidly as a Liverpool attacker, he knows Liverpool play of style better because he already played with the same teammates in many matches. Because of this reason, I think Man United has no chance to get a point. I predict they will lose again in the upcoming match.


Roberto Firmino has been playing at Liverpool since 2015, it's true as you said that Firmino knows the Liverpool game better than Darwin Nunez.
After all, Firmino is 30 years old, which means he is more experienced in controlling emotions when playing. Unlike Nunez, whose emotions are
easily provoked by opposing players when frustrated that he cannot score a goal. I'm also very optimistic that Liverpool will beat Man United in
the third week of the Premier League, let alone Liverpool in the previous two games failed to win, then Liverpool will be much more motivated to get
their first win of the season, in order to keep the points difference with Man City not too far away.  After all, Man United as an opponent that Liverpool
will face is not in good condition. So the mentality of Man United players is in a slump after suffering two consecutive defeats. Liverpool will take
advantage of this to be able to win.
198  Economy / Economics / Re: Why aren't people utilising cryptocurrency payment methods? on: August 18, 2022, 06:01:27 AM
People are not spending their bitcoins for several reasons,  some of this reasons are personal reasons,  while the others are obvious,  I am going to mention one of those personal reasons and one of the obvious reasons -

1. Most people still see bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general as an investment vehicle rather than as a currency to be spent on goods and services just the same way we spend our fiat currency - this is a personal reason.

2. Look around you,  you will discover that actually,  not too many businesses and services accept bitcoin and other cryptocurrency payments,  some businesses still think cryptocurrencies are scam,  others think it's illegal,  some other businesses that have interest in it do not know how to go about implementing crypto into their business,  and maybe they are too busy to do the research needed, or maybe they are afraid not to fall or follow a wrong information that will lead to them being scammed.
So when there is just a small number of business and services accepting cryptocurrency payments,  you discover that crypto holders have a very limited access to spending their crypto, since a business accepting crypto payments might not be close to them or might not even be in their area - this is an obvious reason.

The two reasons you mentioned are indeed the problem why until now not many people use crypto as a payment method. I myself more
comfortable buying goods and paying for services with fiat, because I have done it in the long term,  and it becomes a habit that is hard
to change. Then knowing that crypto holdings can generate huge profits, of course I think it's better to use crypto for investment.
After all, my country prohibits the use of crypto as a means of payment, making me even more uncomfortable using crypto for payments.
So in the end if I want to spend the crypto I have, I will first convert the crypto to fiat. Maybe if there are many countries that support crypto
and legalize crypto as a legal tender, there will be many businesses and services that accept crypto payments. For now, let's just be grateful
that crypto is a profitable for investment.

Real Madrid started better than Barcelona. However Barcelona's performance was still good actually. They just struggled about finishing up their attacks with a goal. Maybe it was a really bad luck. But we would find out about it by next week games. Real Madrid might have lost points too by the way because they had to make a comeback from a 1-0 disadvantage.

Although Real Madrid did not win by a large goal difference against Almeria, even left behind first and in the last 30 minutes could score a goal,
at least Real Madrid won 3 points in their first game. In contrast to Barcelona who played at home only managed to get one point and it was not
a good result for Barcelona. But we can't judge too far, because this is only the first round of La Liga. What is needed to win the La Liga trophy is
not only playing well at the start of the season, but how to be consistent throughout the season. So for Barcelona fans there is no need to worry
Barcelona got off to a bad start, the most important thing is that Barcelona can improve their performance in the next game.

Still open for Barcelona to win the La Liga trophy, and for Real Madrid they also have to be careful lest they settle for two points ahead of rival
Barcelona. Real Madrid should be able to win even more in the next match, and don't forget that in La Liga there is Atletico Madrid who must also
be considered as a candidate for winning the La Liga trophy. Moreover, Atletico managed to achieve satisfactory results when they beat Getafe
by a difference of 3 goals. We'll see if this season Atletico Madrid can surprise us again by winning the La Liga trophy, as they managed to do
in the 2020/2021 season.
200  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Biggest mistake in crypto? on: August 17, 2022, 10:15:53 PM
I'm sure many people here have the same mistake, that is not selling altcoins when the price is at its ATH in 2021,
because that's what I felt and really regretted it! I don't know if I can recover or not, because I'm really frustrated


Indeed, quite a lot of greedy people don't sell their altcoins when reach ATH prices in 2021. That's because many people think the bulls will continue,
even quite a lot of people are buying altcoins at peak prices. Therefore, when entering the bear market in 2022, crypto prices fell quite drastically,
very much even altcoins fell by 80%. That's because in 2022 many people panic and sell their altcoins at low prices, they feel frustrated and feel
the market will not recover again.

Though such thinking is wrong, if we study with what happened in 2018, where the bear market was quite severe at that time. Whereas for people
who can be patient and still believe in the future of crypto, finally in 2021 they can enjoy profits. So don't repeat the same mistakes, I think we all
have made big mistakes in the crypto world, but don't do it again. Never give up if you make a mistake, get back up right away and fix your mistake.
Therefore if you fail to sell the altcoins you have in 2021, you don't need to be frustrated, all you need to do is just keep holding the altcoins you have
until the bull market comes again, and have to believe that the market will recover again.
