621  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can 1 satoshi be worth $1 in the future? on: August 04, 2023, 01:47:12 PM
Yes, it is possible.
And also compare what $1 is equivalent to then? This is a summary of US$ inflation history https://www.officialdata.org/us/inflation/1800?amount=1

Assuming it will happen, I don't think there will be mempool congestion because bitcoin is the most premium class that not everyone will use onchain. Fees will remain stable.
If this is possible, the dollar will no longer have any meaning. Imagine then how much the transaction fee would cost. A few thousand dollars just to transfer some bitcoins. If this ever happens, the world currency will not be the dollar, but perhaps bitcoin.

The trend for 2023 seems to be still difficult to rise again, the price is only in the range of $ 30k and it seems difficult to go to a higher level, but for those of us who want long-term profits, the best thing is to keep buying, remember that there will be a halving in early 2024 day that will make us get profit.
Even though it still looks difficult for Bitcoin to increase to the next price level this year, I still believe that the price is still possible to increase again on Bitcoin this year. As for next year, I think conditions won't be the same as this year so everyone can still expect different things to happen in the market and also in the price of Bitcoin. Well, if you are also still very confident about profits and brighter conditions in the next year for Bitcoin, you don't need to think about the price this year other than continuing to buy with what you have.
You need to buy bitcoin partly. For example, every month for a certain amount. It doesn't matter if the price goes down or up. Next year there will be a fundamental event - halving. Historically, it has been 100% positive for the price because deflation increases. So you have the opportunity to make 12 or 15 purchases and then just wait for the price to rise again.

Well they are becoming a crypto monopoly because of popularity. And it does not matter with the legal battles.
 
People still want to use the services. The CEO CZ now says there is 150 Million registered users on Binance. 

https://bitcoinist.com/binance-records-user-milestone-amidst-regulatory/

It's not entirely a monopoly but Binance has become the synonym for crypto exchange for new users. It is larger than double of it's next competitor but there are several more exchanges that handles larger amount of transactions.
They haven't manipulated the market in their favor or against it's competitors. They have achieved the success purely due to efficiency and security of their service. It's about maintaining balance and innovating for security and customer service.
FTX was considered to be a good alternative for wholesale traders with their lower fees but the mismanagement of the exchange led to its demise.
Binance can be called a monopoly because they have no serious competitors in this market. They destroyed FTX, which was probably the only one who could compete with them. Now the bulk of altcoin trading takes place on Binance. Any user most likely trades on this exchange. The other major exchanges are seriously inferior to Binance.

Arsenal have a squad with young players and of course, I think that factor also has an impact on their mentality as well from time to time. Because after all, building a team to be strong in all competitions doesn't seem to only be about having young players. Because if the coach is not able to form the mentality of the players to become a winning mentality, then at least they will experience a decrease in performance from time to time. Thus, every player must have a winning mentality and excellent conditions, of course to be able to have consistent performance throughout the season.

Arsenal had selected the young player as compared to the other team,they had the youngest squad in the league.The Arsenal had change the team with younger players all the time,it’s their one of the strategy.They think building the team with the younger players will help to the best team,but some experienced players also placed in the team to handle the tough situation of the game.The coach of the Arsenal playing huge impacts in the team spirit and winning strategy of the team.The mentality of the coach and player should in the same manner to win the game.The coach should trigger the player to handle the tough situation and how to win at the last minute game.The potential of the players was totally depend on the team coach.
I don't remember Arsenal having any good success in the Champions League. Almost 20 years ago they played in the final against Barcelona and lost. Then a few years ago they played in the Europa League final against Chelsea and lost too. The younger the squad, the less experienced they are. So it seems to me that they will fail again this season.
625  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for August on: August 03, 2023, 06:16:38 PM
Yes, we ended last month not pretty good but it was still a good price for me. But talking and predicting what will happen this month of August, I was positive that it never goes back down below $28k instead, I was optimistic to see it moving $30k plus. Why? I believe the demand increases before halving and that is what I expect in a few days from now. I'd see more support coming from new investors. Of course, I don't think it go straight but certainly, we still witness the up and down of market prices.
Yes it is very possible and I also see movement from the beginning of the year and I think it is still quite positive despite what happened from August last year but I am optimistic that Bitcoin price will remain around 30k in this August and it is very likely that will increase (albeit slowly and slightly)
I think so after seeing and feeling what has happened throughout this year, many of us have seen a positive trend and most likely it will continue.
The positive momentum has really been there throughout this year. Bitcoin has done x2 since January. But still, there have been no serious corrections in these seven months yet. Without corrections, the price cannot move upwards. There have been several attempts to break the resistance around 32k, but so far it hasn't happened. I don't know what will happen in August with the price, but I expect a correction in the near future.
626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Conference League Discussion Thread -- 2023/24 | Qualifiers on: August 03, 2023, 05:04:27 PM
Very interesting game between Tobol Kostanai and Basel. I did not expect that Basel loses on the sum of two matches. Frankly speaking, for the first time I've heard about Tobol. For Basel is certainly not all lost yet, less than 15 minutes left. But things are not going well for them so far.

I even had a bet placed on Basel to qualify as last year they were in quarter finals where Fiorentina eliminated them so I was expecting them to actually perform even better. Nevertheless , they won their game but failed to qualify and it's another year for them to try and improve but they also lost a few important players during the summer transfer window.

For me , I would be surprised if my national team Farul Constanta will be able to qualify as for now Urartu are playing a very offensive football and I wouldn't be surprised if they scored at least twice.
Yes, they won that game, but they still conceded the decisive goal. Basel used to play really well. I remember their achievement last season, and in previous seasons they could also play not badly not only in the Conference League. But this season is over for them before it started.

628  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it advisable to invest on Solana? on: August 03, 2023, 02:48:55 PM
You should rather avoid solana for now. Once solana was my top picked altcoin among others project as it was unlocked lots of possibilities by supporting smart contracts as well as decentralized apps, which could make it succesful. But after the hardly fall of solana, it makes its investors disappointed. It has less possibility to reborn, so not good choice for long timeframe but you can hold some portion of it, if interested 

this is why any investor should do his own assessment before investing in SOL or any other alt out there. you've seen its hard fall, so difficult for you to get involve especially if you feel recovery is far-fetched. it may still be in the top 10 but asking yourself if it will ever reach its ATH of almost 260 bucks again? now, that's like punch in the air at the moment. reaching 30 bucks is already quite hard in my opinion.
i just think that solana chance of reaching higher again is gone, its already started being replaced by some other coin thats more significant nowadays, like those L2.
moreover the emergence of many coins nowadays thats truly innovative like layerzero and many more are definitely gonna make things tougher for solana.
the peak of solana is already reached, its when ftx was still fine before collapsing, thats when solana has reached its peak.
but right now its just some remnant of past glory, which definitely will make it harder for solana to grow in the future.
I also think that the time of Solana is already past. Of course new growth can happen, but we should not rely on the previous high prices. As you said there are already other projects that can take Solana's place. This happens every cycle, new projects replace old ones. In the case of Solana it is a matter of a little time and the next bull market.
629  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins dead? on: August 03, 2023, 01:09:16 PM
Watching the current market and the demise of ALL crypto ... is this the end for certain coins?

How do people think the likes of ETH, ADA, XRP, TRON etc will go from here?

not only altcoin, but in the current market position the price of Bitcoin also goes down and of course every bear market, there will be many altcoin that are lost (dead), because if the project from altcoin has no progress or is no longer useful, then people will not invest it anymore, so that when the market recovers and increases, the price will not increase (dead), because investors will choose another altcoin that are better and more profitable (useful), therefore if we want to invest in altcoin, then we must choose altcoin that are useful and popular, so the project will survive when there is a bear market and I'm sure if ETH, ADA, XRP, TRON will survive (not dead) until the next bullrun comes, because the project is very popular and useful.
Altcoins are just speculation. There are probably only a few coins on the market that are successful. All the others cannot be called dead, of course, but their price is constantly falling. And if there is a bull market, even dead projects can show good growth. Therefore, altcoins are just for buying and selling.

Their first meeting ended in a draw, and Zalgiris managed to score two goals, which shows that Galatasaray has problems. I also think that they should have no problems at home today, but judging by the first match it could be any result. If Zalgiris can score again, the hosts will have to attack more to score and give opportunities for counterattacks.
The next game gonna be difficult for zalgiris. It's caused by the club was almost losing playing on its home. Galatasaray gonna host the second leg, which was also putting zalgiris in a very difficult situation. I hope that icardi will be able to play against zalgiris.
Im sure galatasaray will be able to win easily against zalgiris. Galatasaray just needs to learn from the mistake in the first leg, especially for the defensive line. It's caused by zalgiris was making its last-minute goal due to the mistake being made by galatasaray's defender.

Galtasaray may be able to win against zalgiris with cleansheet. I have no doubt about by galatasaray will be also boosting its morality by playing at home. It will be a shame if galatasaray will be losing against zalgiris at home.
I think this game is easy to predict which club that's gonna win the game. Galatasaray gonna win the second leg without a tough game.
Galatasaray and Zalgiris may not have it easy either, judging by the way today's first games are going. On the one hand I agree with you that the first match was really difficult for Zalgiris, but they managed not to lose. On the other hand Galatasaray will play at home and they have more chances to win. But so far from today's games only Dinamo Zagreb were able to play confidently.

UEFA Champion League qualifying have been third round, one step closer for several teams will participate in Champion League season 2023/24, there are have twenty teams participant in third or last qualifying round and ten teams winner will automatically get place at Champion League group stage next season. There are have six matches for second UEFA Champion League qualifier round for second leg and I am interested with match Galatasaray vs Zalgiris, first leg both teams get draw 2-2 and second leg will be final match for both teams if want qualify to third round and have chance for participating in UEFA Champion League next season.
Get draw first leg of second round UEFA Champion League qualifying, both teams have the same chance lead to last round of qualifying but Galatsaray as host have advantage playing in front of their fans give motivate for winning match.

Personally, I don't think Galatasaray will have any problem winning against FK Zalgirls. Galatasaray is a much stronger team than Zalgirls. But even then they could not defeat the Zalgirls team in the first match. Galatasaray's performance was also not good in this match. At the same time, I will say that Galatasaray were a bit unlucky in this match. Zalgrils equalized the match after 90 minutes. However, the next match is Galatasaray's home match. I don't think Galatasaray's players will make any mistakes in the home match. Galatasaray is an experienced team. The team will try their best to qualify for the Champions League.

PSG needs experienced players in attack. This is PSG's main weakness at the moment. We still don't know which players Enrique is considering as replacements for Messi and Mbappe. On the other hand, even though PSG's defense has experienced players, their performance is not good. Luis Enrique needs to work more on PSG's defense. I think Luis Enrique will add new players to PSG's attack and midfield soon.
Despite PSG's defeat, Tader's gameplay has seen some improvement. In the previous match, they lost 3-2 against Japanese team Cerezo Osaka.
Agreed, PSG has been showing horrible performance. It has so many shoots but only a few were on targets. PSG was always dominating the ball possessions, but it could not maximize the chance. That makes the club was missing a lot of opportunities.
PSG really needs good attacking lines. The current players were so bad in having proper finishing. Asensio and soler were playing so badly during the match. I don't even think PSG will able to compete in UCL with the this quality.
PSG's level is far lower compared with the last season. No doubt if so many people were predicting PSG to leave from the UCL after it was playing in the group stage.

Intermilan is still adapting with the new striker. Marcus thuram was not able performing as good as lukeku when he becomes a partner for lautaro martinez. There must be so many evaluations for PSG in attacking lines.
Buying a new striker is a must for PSG. I saw that how enrique was rotating the players in attacking lines.
PSG really played much worse than they could, especially in attack. But you have to take into account that it was a friendly match, which is not very interesting and not important for both clubs. And the main thing is that Inter are finalists of last season's Champions League. So this is a club actually stronger than PSG of Messi and Mbappe's time. So it's not surprising that they lost this game.
633  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: TRON is bad coin, here is why on: August 01, 2023, 02:33:36 PM
The tron network is now the most usdt-friendly network. Commissions are the smallest of all common blockchains. Transfers from one country to another are very fast. All this makes it convenient to continue using this network. I am sure that now tron is more reliable than other blockchains.


That's why I chose it. Too bad fees got higher lately. But it's still good.

USDT is the only thing that keeps this blockchain alive. I don't even see any good things other than USDT transfer from tron. 99% dapps were scam in tron. many people have been proving it since a few years ago.

There's no further development happened in the tron ecosystem. I rarely saw this used to be used to build something like metaverse. It's caused by how complicated tron.
In any blockchain, apps have no value. Probably only in ethereum blockchain there are some good projects. In the rest I don't know of any good projects. BSC, XLM, Solana, DOT and other blockchains had nothing good to offer. So tron has at least usdt which can be used regularly with small commissions.
634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: August 01, 2023, 11:19:22 AM
The next season, La Liga will be another dual race between Barcelona and Real Madrid like the past season. Barcelona will get more challenge from Real Madrid as Los Blancos will have some new players from this summer transfer and they will become a stronger team in a coming season. Barcelona will have more concentration on Champions League after their failure in the last season. It might affect their focus on La Liga and give Real Madrid chances to take the trophy back.

I don't think so. In principle, what both teams are going to concentrate on most is La Liga, which is where they will play the most games from the start, and only depending on results, if a team does badly in La Liga but well in the Champions League, they may end up concentrating on the Champions League, but in general what they concentrate on most from the start is the league.

Something like that happened at the end of last season when Madrid concentrated more on the Champion League, although they failed to win it.
I think that next season Barcelona will have no rivals in La Liga, because Real Madrid lost Benzema. It is a serious loss for them and I am sure that next season they will not succeed in La Liga and Champions League. I think this will be a chance for Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, and Real Sociedad.

Recently there was some news about Lukaku and his next destination he didn't say anything yet official about his next team but after all these days Lukaku finally said about his transfer to Juventus, "I don't think if this happens." this can show us that there is not much chance for Lukaku to join Juventus in the next season.


So where will he go next if he doesn't join Juventus? I don't think Inter need him any more because his character has underestimated the club's attempts to sign him on a permanent basis. But even if he returns to Chelsea, he obviously won't be included in Pocettino's squad list so inevitably he has to find a new club as his home. Now maybe some teams in Italy don't really like him after this incident and even if he goes to another league it's not certain that anyone will take him because Chelsea also set a fairly high fee. I don't understand this player like having star syndrome and feeling he is needed by a big team.
Strange that many people talk about Lukaku being needed by Juventus, but don't talk about Lukaku not being needed by Chelsea or Inter. The impression is that Lukaku is not attracting interest from big clubs at the moment and it will probably be difficult for him to continue his career. If he was a sought after player, Chelsea probably wouldn't have agreed to a deal.

The Chinese also spent a lot of money on the transfer, but they didn't manage to attract so much attention. I think Ronaldo is a very big influence at this point. Because he transferred to the Saudi Professional League, many footballers refer to him. If the Chinese League had made this kind of transfer at that time, they could have had a bigger impact.

Last year there was only Ronaldo in the Saudi Professional League. This season there are also star players like Benzema, Riyad Mahrez, Allan Saint-Maximin, Roberto Firmino and Edouard Mendy. Let's see what kind of league awaits us.
That's right Ronaldo is the most influential football player to date with Lionel Messi. His presence in the SPL made the league boosted and received good ratings on the international stage. It is possible that a few more players will go into the SPL and add to the list you have mentioned.

If you look at the list of players who are rumored to be going to the SPL, there are lots of names on the list. Marco Verratti is a player who is being hotly discussed about joining Al Hilal.

The movements made by Arab League Clubs are indeed very surprising, especially not only one club that does that but there are several clubs that make large transfers of players from Europe and also the prices are relatively high compared to their market prices. Of course it will make the name of the League even bigger, it is proven by the many requests for broadcasting rights to broadcast Arab League matches, not only this season, but already from last season after Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al Nassr. Money talks here, they spend money to get money.
I'm not sure the Saudi League will be very popular in the future. Just now there have been some really big transfers of superstars from European leagues. But it reminds me more of the time when stars went to America at the end of their careers. It's probably going to be something like that in Saudi.

638  Economy / Speculation / Re: Should I buy now or I should still wait for the dip? on: July 31, 2023, 02:23:05 PM
I think the best thing is to buy immediately, as we know that the potential for an increase in bitcoin to rise at the end of this year is very easy to happen, the halving day that will occur at the beginning of the year will cause a significant price spike so by buying now we can immediately get big profits.
I also have this feeling that you should buy right now as much as you can. But since I am not the only one who has such thoughts, it is worth thinking about it, because usually the market acts contrary to expectations. That's why it is probably a better strategy to buy partly, so that you don't regret later that you could have bought more.
639  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 31, 2023, 11:59:32 AM
As for Mourinho he hasn't still made much progress in the Serie A with Roma so far. That progress has been made well in European cups surely though. First winning the Europa Conference League title and right after that making it to the finale in the Europa League. They could have won that one as well if it weren't for Sevilla's great work.

But the board will surely expect Mourinho to finish a season in top 4 indeed. It isn't an impossible task for Roma. They just need to be more consistent with the players they have currently. I don't think their squad isn't adequate or so to perform this task as well.
I think that after Mourinho took charge of the Roma team, a lot of progress has been seen and now Roma are one of the teams that is highly calculated in Serie A, despite their failure to enter the top 4 positions, this team has developed much better.
I see very many shortcomings in this team and Mourinho was forced to do the best with the squad as it is because this team did not spend big money to recruit players and it must be admitted that with a squad that is what Mourinho is able to make the Roma team respected by his opponents .
So far Roma are very lucky to have a coach like Mourinho, he is a very qualified coach.
Last season Roma wasted a lot of energy in the Europa League, so they finished poorly in Serie A. Perhaps last season can be called a bad season for Mourinho compared to the previous one, when Roma won the Conference League. I would like to see them in the Champions League next season, but to do that they need to avoid making mistakes in Serie A.
640  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Analyzing XRP's Potential: Can It Reach $1? on: July 30, 2023, 05:39:24 PM

Following Ripple's legal victory against the U.S. SEC, XRP's price nearly doubled. XRP has the potential to challenge the crucial $1 level in the upcoming days.
🔥However, the current outlook suggests limited strength in sustaining its rally further.
🔥If XRP successfully breach the $1 barrier, a potential target for September could hover around $1.35
So far, all this legal history XRP vs. U.S. SEC is only for the benefit of ripple and the faith of investors. If XRP doesn't have negative news by the time the bull run starts (but still it is inevitable), which is unlikely to happen in the near future, then this could burst up the price of XRP very strongly.

If answer the question in the title, then in the past ripple reached 3$ (at the peak of the hype) and against this background, reaching the 1$ level seems quite likely. Breaking the 1$ price doesn't mean that XRP will rise in price non-stop and reach the 1.35$ point by September. A certain price stagnation may also occur by that time, but in the near future, against the backdrop of positive news (associated with legal victory against the U.S. SEC), there are prerequisites for some growth.
Of course the recent news has pumped up the xrp price nicely, but it seems to me that without the altseason alone it will be impossible for xrp to grow. We have to take into account that xrp missed the last alt season due to a court case. So the recent price reaction was expected. I think that full growth will happen together with the next market growth.
