Now the challenge is to finish the UCL in the last 16 against Barcelona, even though historically Barcelona is in superior head to head condition. but this time Napoli has a high chance of stabilizing the players, it just depends on how effective Walter Mazzarri strategy is in overcoming the Blaugrana game.
Napoli have often experienced quite significant defeats from Barcelona when they met in European matches, but I think Napoli can breathe a sigh of relief because the current Barcelona is not as strong as the Barcelona that Napoli previously faced, head to head it could be said if Barcelona is quite superior, but for Now we can see how Napoli in the last few years has become a fairly strong club in the league and is capable of becoming a champion contender, I think for the next match head to head is not a guarantee to be able to underestimate Napoli.
Barcelona aren't having the best of times in La Liga at the moment, but they finished top of their group in the Champions League with 12 points. They had tougher opponents like Shakhtar and Porto. Napoli only had Real Madrid. A dead Union Berlin and almost the same Braga. I think Barcelona have a better chance than Napoli.

Even with two and a half years to go until the 2026 World Cup, there are already places with World Cup odds  Cheesy
And incredibly, Brazil is in first place
To tell you the truth, I don't agree, at the moment I don't see Brazil as favorite one anymore


  • Brazil 6.50
  • France 6.50
  • England 7.00
  • Argentina 10.00
  • Spain 10.00
  • Germany 12.00
  • Portugal 15.00

What do you think? Have you seen this prediction anywhere else?
Brazil are always one of the main favourites for the championship. But I found it strange that Argentina are in fourth place, although they managed to win the last tournament by beating France, who are second in the ranking. But I wasn't surprised by the list of contenders. I probably wouldn't have believed that England would win.

High fees on the bitcoin blockchain have happened occasionally. But it hasn't been prolonged. Although now the commissions are really unreasonably high. I hope that the hype around brc-20 tokens will stop and the commissions will become small again.
Transaction fees will always change and will always become smaller when Bitcoin price volatility begins to improve and does not continue to increase as it is now. Because when Bitcoin's price continues to increase, it can also affect the size of transaction fees on the Bitcoin network, making some people complain about it. However, I also believe that things will not be like now because the decrease in transaction fees will return to normal again when there are not too many transactions at one time.
The price of bitcoin and the cost of transactions do not correlate much. Now the cost of commissions has gone up because of the popularity of brc tokens. You are right to say that the price of commissions will be lower when the bitcoin blockchain is not as busy as it is now. But for that we need improvements in the code.
If we are really just trying to look on whats the actual thing which is happening on why these sudden spike on fee?

The primary cause of this spike can be attributed to increased network activity. The bitcoin network saw a surge in transactions due to the popularity of BRC-20 tokens and bitcoin ordinal inscriptions, leading to increased congestion. The number of pending transactions piled up to 470,000, creating a backlog in the Mempool, the network's temporary repository for all pending transactions awaiting validation​​​​​​​​.


Just like into those sentiments above, it is really just that too shit for this Brc20 tokens that currently been flooding into the market.
Transaction numbers and fees cost are really that sky rocketing.
The popularity of these shitcoins has really had a very bad effect on transaction fees. And the worst part is that these brc-20 are appearing more and more like it was once with ethereum. The fees were huge back then too. But there is hope for bitcoin developers to somehow influence these tokens.

Now the price is back above 44k. The short-term correction made some people think that the price will continue to fall. But in just a few days the situation has changed again in a positive direction. Volatility in the market is a good thing. It may indicate that the trend will continue for the time being.
And just when we thought that the price is going down because of the correction that we have seen, the price moves on the opposite direction. And as base on previous years, when we are fast approaching Christmas, the price seems to be increasing, but what we should be looking is the end price, could be $45k at the end of the year.

@gunhell16 - I don't know who are the experts though, because as far as I know, there's none, everyone can make their own predictions in this market. And as you have said, it's very unpredictable, very volatile. And we can take advantage of it's volatility in whichever way we can, (but at dip, or sell when the price goes up momentarily).
I'm not sure, but it seems to me that 45k before the end of this year could happen sooner. It's possible that the current rise is due to expectations of a new bitcoin etf. There is no definite date yet when the resolution of this issue will happen. Probably the growth will continue until there is a concrete decision.

That's how it goes on a single legged knock out. There are no second chances. And we should appreciate the performance from Bologna and Frosinone. They outperformed their opponents on their games.
Bologna hat a great defense, good goal keeping, a penalty saved and injury time best finished goals to win. They deserved the win.
Inter Milan have play not so good in recent matches vs Bologna. In October there was a 2:2 in Milan and in February this year Bologna won 1:0, the game was in Bologna. And now the defeat in extra time, mybe we can say that Bologna are becoming a scary team for Inter. They are not playing for the championship in italy, they are far away. Inter Milan will lose a bit of motivation, they play against a weak team at the weekend. Again at home against US Lecce, which they should win without any problems.
Bologna are playing really well at the moment, but I think Inter just decided not to fight in the Cup. Just like Napoli, only Napoli did it blatantly. Now top clubs have other tasks in domestic leagues and Champions League. So they don't need the extra pressure.

It's a common issue in the forum because ppl give advice like they're experts. How many ppl are professional traders. How many successful traders do we know. I've said to him the same things we'd be rich if we could've read the market so when ppl give opinions like they're experts it isn't real.

This is not true, people know the reason why the price of Bitcoin or any other asset increases or decreases. But has that made all the people rich? Maybe you misjudged it as you might wanted to say that we don't know when exactly the time the price of Bitcoin will start rising. Although, the last statement is still technically right as some people are poor in their speculations, nonetheless, the statement is still not necessarily true because there are many good speculators still, who see the market doing a thing even before the market does it. This is actually the power of speculation, and the more you know it, the better for you and the more you can earn from the market.

What I like to tell people is that the market is tricky and dynamic, this is what makes it look as if it is unpredictable. This is where the skills to predict it patiently come in, but it has to be learned, there is no other way. The trader must dedicate his time and be wise with it as well. With good speculations/predictions, traders can still have a 95% winning rate, yes, you heard me. Is that not enough to enrich yourself in trading? Yet, it is not everyone that will get to that level. That is why the market has not enriched a lot yet. That's also the difference from what you thought.
You talk as if you are a real expert and professional trader. But in reality it is not that simple and we would be really rich if we could read the market and find the reasons for price changes in advance. But in reality the number of successful traders is minimal. Agree that not many people bought bitcoin at 20k or even 30k to sell it now with a good profit.
Probably those people who have been on this forum for a long time do have more experience trading cryptocurrency than newbies. But usually this experience is not only accumulated from successful trades. People just don't talk about how many times they lost their deposit before becoming more successful.

I don't want to see football as any sort of movie, like how or why would Napoli lose to a club that's not even healthy in the league table? This is so embarrassing I must say because on a normal day Napoli would make life a living hell for the away team like why on earth did they have to lose, not 1nil but 4-nil?
Is it that they're experiencing fatigue or what? Still confused I must say.
If Napoli continue like this I don't see them advancing into the next round in the champions league and they might not even qualify in any Europe competitions next season. As it is, I can't tell if they're inform or not.

Maybe the coach took the match too lightly. The 3 main attackers who usually have a place in the lineup did not play from the start. maybe that was Napoli's first mistake.
Oshimhen, Politano, and Kvaratskhelia became substitutes. Napoli tried to catch up but the situation was quite difficult when the opponent had adopted a more closed game.
coaches must be wiser if they want to rotate their players. At least they have to work hard to be in the top 4 of the standings. it will keep them in European competition next season.
It was bad that he left Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia on the bench because they almost couldn't get into position. Frosinone ruined them. They took risks in the last minutes, but the difference increased even more. A bad experience, a bad match experience for Napoli. For Frosinone, it was a match in which they could gain morale, even in the league.
To be honest, this was not the result that Napoli wanted and they underestimated Frosinone in the Coppa Italia competition. As a result, Napoli suffered a heavy defeat at home and they were finally eliminated from this competition. Even though Napoli really controlled the game, Frosinone made good use of every opportunity in this match. Even though Napoli included Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen in the second half, the problem emerged from then on because Frosinone scored 4 goals in a row against Napoli.

Even though Napoli is trying to catch up, it seems impossible to catch up with the 4 goal deficit and they have to give up the Coppa Italia this season. A very good performance from Frosinone, even though they were not seeded at all, they managed to send Napoli home in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia and they advanced to the quarterfinals. I think the performance in the Coppa Italia will not affect Napoli's performance in Serie A because the competition is different and Napoli's current focus will only be on Serie A and the Champions League completely.
I'm sure that Napoli lost this game on purpose. They are not in the best position in the Serie A standings and they need to keep playing in the Champions League. The Italian Cup is not important for them and they will not waste strength on it. The main thing for them is to improve their position in Serie A and try their luck in the Champions League.
111  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing altcoins now or during halving? on: December 20, 2023, 12:29:29 PM
If we are just about to invest, why not do it now? In fact, there is no perfect time to buy but we believe that bull season will come a few years from now and I think we are already in good time to prepare.
It's because they feel that it's still not the right time to invest. They only want to buy it when there's a lot of price actions that are visible to their eyes.

And when these actions come, they're going to think that it's already too much and priced in and that's another hard decision for them to make.

But if they just do it now and let things do come naturally and let them worry next abotu that decision. Whilst this time, it's unlikely that many who invested earlier or before the halving will regret.
The problem with many people is that they are investing money that they may need at any moment. That is, they don't have the opportunity to simply forget about the investment for a few years and then get a good profit. Or, for example, when the price falls even more, panic selling can happen. Not many people can make profit.

I don't know what Mbappe wants by extending his contract at PSG. Is that a strategy from Mbappe so that if another club wants to sign him then they have to spend large amounts of money and make a tempting offer? Because I think what does Mbappe need from PSG? He's got everything there. Has PSG offered Mbappe a large salary so that he chooses to stay at PSG?

There has been no official news or statement from Mbaape. But his contract with PSG is a form of professional football player. I think there is an agreement between Mbaape and PSG that is not disclosed publicly. The latest news is that Real Madrid will make a final offer to PSG. But until now there has been no new news. Only Real Madrid has looked serious in the past few reports.
I can understand Real Madrid's insistence on Mbappe. Real Madrid is an important team and they have shortcomings in the offensive area. A star like Mbappe would be great to complete these shortcomings. Mbappe is an attacking player who can take Real Madrid to the next level. My only fear is that he will suffer injuries like Hazard. I hope we can enjoy watching him in the Real Madrid jersey if he is transferred.
Besides needing a good striker for Real Madrid, there were already rumours in the summer that Mbappe would leave PSG next year. The rumours did not come out of nowhere and Mbappe himself has said that he wants to play for Real Madrid. So it seems to me that next summer he will be able to play in Madrid.

I did not expect Rayo Vallecano to lose to Valencia today. From the last home matches Rayo Vallecano lost only to Girona. But the other games were drawn. I thought that Valencia are doing badly this season, but they can catch up with Betis.

Btc broke 42200 support
Now the target is 39600
What will happen if 39,600 reached ? are we seeing better movement till the end of december ?
but it seems that there is no way that  39k will be on the table for a while because the price now comes back
to 43k again and the correction is over , how many times that we need to see pumping and dumping before
seeing the 45-50k  level again.
Yes, the main thing now is that the price falls short-term and buyers do not let the price fall much. It seems to me that 40k is the key level below which bitcoin did not fall and the price bounced back. Hopefully December will be green like the previous months.
115  Economy / Speculation / Re: High transaction fees affects those who DCA on: December 19, 2023, 01:50:07 PM
At least the transaction fees are quite low compared to the past days but yes, still was not good looking and disappointing since it was not the normal trx fee we see. We are not sure how long this situation went okay but we have no option other than just wait or have to pay it. Yes, it was a good decision to just buy BTC in bulk like doing this once a month than paying $3 - $10 every week.
I've noticed that there is a time when the transaction fee is low, we can take advantage of it. We just have to monitor the market changes and timing.

For those who strictly adhere to a DCA strategy, the fees are a pain in the ass without a doubt. It depends on the amounts invested every single time and also the frequency, but I think for those who decide to stick to DCA, any excessive recurring fee isn't nice...

I know this has been shared somewhere else a couple of times, but if it helps someone to understand how to time transactions and how to best choose any fees they are fine with, this website is a helpful source.

What are the fees currently from the most popular exchanges you guys are using? Are most of them flexible or are there exchanges with fixed high/low fees?
 
High fees on the bitcoin blockchain have happened occasionally. But it hasn't been prolonged. Although now the commissions are really unreasonably high. I hope that the hype around brc-20 tokens will stop and the commissions will become small again.

Girona at the top of Laliga now, they are leading 1-0 against Alaves.

Tomorrow all of the sports news will praise about them (again), and the odds for Girona to win the Laliga getting smaller and smaller again lol.

Girona won Alaves yesterday to top the La Liga table again. If Real Madrid wants to win the La Liga trophy from Girona, they should sign a new striker when the January transfer window opens which will help them to score more goals.
Real Madrid have one of the best squads of players at the moment. Perhaps they really need someone in the attacking line. But Girona have shown that neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid are a problem for them. I hope that Girona will be in the race for the leadership until the end of the season.

Today Atalanta will play against Salernitana at home. If they win, they can move one point above Roma in the standings. I think that this game will be easy for Atalanta, because Salernitana is in last place and usually do not score away.
This could be quite possible to happen because now there are many teams whose points are quite close, as in the example of Atalanta and Roma. And I think it is very reasonable to expect Atalanta to win at home today against the bottom team in Serie A, besides that Roma, who lost yesterday at home to Bologna, must really accept the bitter reality that Atalanta can win today. Because Roma did not get additional points this week, they had to be willing to take over their position by another team.
Maybe it was due to the fact that Roma played after the Europa League. But today Atalanta will also play after the European Cup. Although maybe you can't compare Salernitana and Bologna. I always thought that Bologna is not a weak team. By the way, now Bologna is in fourth place in the standings.

120  Economy / Speculation / Re: What did you think will happen to Bitcoin before January? on: December 17, 2023, 06:08:27 PM
Before January meaning it is December right?  but we are in December now and bitcoin increases more than what the value when you created this thread so are we expecting that price will drop badly next  week or next?

I doubt that any of your thoughts are valid nor will happen because I can see that market will continue showing strength till January or even until  February .
However, there are no definite predictions or valid analyzes that can be responsible for certain market conditions in the future, all market patterns can change when hit by unexpected news and the market can also increase significantly when positive news is published in market conditions that are recovering. so we don't yet know what the market position will be like in the future, but with the current market conditions we can be sure that the market will achieve the highest price recovery until the halving period or Q1 period, the halving period is the expected support for reaching the highest market price.
December will soon be over and the new year will start. It seems to me that the price may stay above 40k until January. But as for halving, it's hard to guess what might happen in the next four months. I think there will be a collapse before the halving, as it happened in 2020. As you said, sometimes unexpected things happen that affect the market.
