It's not time for Jude Bellingham to be compared to Zidane even though he was given the honor of wearing the jersey that Zidane once wore when he was actively playing for Real Madrid. Zidane has been recognized as the world's best player with various achievements he has achieved at club and international level, he is also able to lead the midfield well. Jude Bellingham is still very young, his qualities are able to attract Real Madrid's interest in signing him. His story with Real Madrid has just begun, there is still a lot to do to become the best player in the world like Zidane did.

Jude Bellingham is a talented young talent who has the most potential to become a future star. He has yet to prove anything with Real Madrid even though he has proven his quality with Dortmund. There is always the possibility that a talented young player will fail to develop under his new coach, but I am sure that Jude Bellingham will not suffer such a fate under Ancelotti.

Real Madrid expect Jude Bellingham to be a big project in the long term due to his qualities and abilities. He is good as a midfielder who has a more attacking style of play. Jude Bellingham has 8 goals and 4 assists this season with Borussia Dortmund in the Bundeliga, but he needs to prove that at Real Madrid as well next season.

getting the signature of bellingham is an advantage for madrid, so far dortmund has succeeded in producing great young players like haaland who was successful with man city. I can't wait to see Bellingham's extraordinary performance in Madrid, they have the potential to destroy Barcelona's dominance which is currently topping La Liga.

and the only homework that remains for madrid is to quickly get a sharp striker (replacement for benzema) that is very important because rodrygo and vini will be difficult without a strong center forward.

For several days now my friend has been asking me for some advice. Telling me that he wants to invest some of his money, telling me where to invest it. My friend works in a private company and he has saved some money from there. With that money they went into business in a four person partnership, initially he made some profit in the business then he suffered some financial loss. My friend knows that I am involved with Bitcoin. He got some ideas about Bitcoin from me. So he wants to invest money in Bitcoin. I didn't tell him anything about the risk of investing. Since he wants to invest, should I advise him to invest?

my advice is that you better give him information to invest in bitcoin instead of investment advice. you have to explain to him things about bitcoin, and in particular you need to emphasize that investing in bitcoin is high risk and it is not a get-rich-quick way.

you have to explain to him that you are providing the information for the bitcoin investment because he asked, not because of your will. because according to my experience, usually these ordinary people will blame us if their investment suffers a loss or various other things. so you need to emphasize from the start that all risks are borne by him not you, you are here only as someone who provides education about bitcoin investment.
1223  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We the Bitcoin Enthusiasts, How can we Safequard our Holdings in Turbulent Times on: June 15, 2023, 06:51:59 AM
How might the closure of a prominent cryptocurrency exchange like Binance affect investors confidence in the broader crypto market, and what steps do you think enthusiasts can take to safeguard their investments in such situations? Please share tips.

I'm thinking about closing my key positions for the time being.

in today's market conditions, the best way to secure an investment is to hold assets and increase them if necessary. the market won't be like this forever, so when you buy Bitcoin now and hold it until the price goes up you will not only recover your losses, but also make huge profits from it. this way has been done by many investors and most of them are successful.

however, if you are worried and tend to be impatient with current market conditions, it's best if you close your position and convert your assets to stable assets, because if you constantly think about your losses, it might affect your mental health.

If eventually Croatia, his figure is undoubtedly Modric, perhaps because he is in one of the most influential teams in the world such as Real Madrid, in addition to having won a controversial ballon d'or, when everyone expected the winner to be someone else, he came out In addition, Modric must be recognized that he gave everything in the World Cup in Qatar, he played with his heart and that is something that the whole world saw, those are the things that make him great, however, as you say, it may be that It will be his last time with the Croatian team, but I would never leave Modric, I would only let him go when he wants to retire, because a player like that always has to be kept.
I agree that Modrić should stay with Croatia for as long as he wants to be. And I'm sure that Dalić will never kick him out of the national team. Everyone in Croatia knows how much Modrić has given to the national team. I just watched his interview on TV where he said that he will be at disposal to the national team for as long as he thinks the national team needs him.

Modric is a brilliant midfielder, so far in the Croatian camp no one can match his intelligence as a midfielder and we can see for ourselves how he contributes to the Croatian national team, so I'm sure the Croatian coach will continue to play Modric on the field until he himself decides to stop.


tomorrow euro 2024 qualifying rounds will start again, there will be an exciting match between finland vs slovenia, in group H slovenia is the leader of the group and it looks like slovenia will narrowly win this match.

I am happy that you know that injury can play a major role on the life of a player and a club in their performance. This is why it might be impossible for Man City to win it again next season even with the same players. We saw how injury crippled Man united performance and some other good clubs performance,which made it impossible for them to achieve their goal. Man City was very lucky,that they didnt suffer from injury this season which made the club and players stronger. So let's stop thinking that next season will be the same as this season. Changes is constant,who on earth will believe that Chelsea will perform poorly this season. It is hard to look into the future but we can also think that it is possible for things to remain the way that they are.

I pay enough attention to the strategy that is usually used by Pep Guardiola in every team he coaches, he always tries hard to encourage every player as much as possible to avoid incidents that could potentially become injured and that has proven effective because in the season that has passed, we have not seen the man city player seriously injured (different from other arsenal squad or EPL team)

for now pep guardiola is the best coach in the world who is still active but the fight is not over and we cannot predict with certainty whether man icty will continue to be able to defend the UCL title in the following season.

Millionaires and billionaires never stop "gambling". It's a race to be richer/ the richest

Gambling that is done by billionaires is different from gambling that is carried out in general, billionaires gamble on the businesses they build while gamblers gamble with a game that has been arranged and the winner is random. from what I see, those who have gambled several times will find it difficult to stop because of the fun effects that are caused when gambling, so many people find it difficult to stop gambling, including myself (because I feel when I do gamble, my adrenaline is racing) lol
1227  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happens if pools try to maximize fees by congesting the network? on: June 14, 2023, 04:51:22 PM
Honestly, I had never thought about this before, or at least I don't remember thinking about it.

Say that Foundry USA, AntPool and F2Pool (which in total hold about 69% of the hash rate according to btc.com) cooperated to pretend there's network congestion, when there isn't. For example, say the median fee is 1 sat/vb. But, they don't like that, so they broadcast a thousand transactions paying 5-10 sat/vb, to encourage some of the users with 1 sat/vb to raise their fee rate. Pools' transactions don't cost them anything, because they don't include them into their candidate blocks. They just take advantage of the wallet software there exists which tells the user to pay more to have priority.

This isn't limited to when there isn't congestion. Pools could do this right now with Ordinals, and broadcast transactions with 100 sat/vb; that would encourage those paying 50 sat/vb to raise fees. To avoid other pools from including their transactions (and pay 100 sat/vb which is pretty high), they could sometime include a transaction that invalidates their attractive transactions (e.g., spends an UTXO from those).

A problem, from the pool owners' side, is that they can get caught easily for doing it. Every person running a full node will notice unreasonable activity (the miner not including tx that pay much), and blocks mined by pools are known.

maybe for a while pools are happy that there is congestion on the network because the fees are going up, but this is only temporary, it will not be possible for them to maintain this for long considering that it will take quite a lot of resources for them and with increasing transaction fees will also discourage people from using bitcoin and that will disrupt the market.

so even though they want the fees on the network to go up so that the rewards they get are also high, they also have the thought that this will slow down the adoption of bitcoin and annoy people on the network, for example like in the case of yesterday's Ordinal where Bitcoin fees didn't make sense and pools seems to be enjoying this.
1228  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin gift to wife on wedding. on: June 14, 2023, 08:07:22 AM
Although I still studied, I invested a small amount in Bitcoin. I will get married if I get a good job. Many people give many things to their wives as wedding gifts, I have a different plan. I am planning to gift bitcoin to my wife on her wedding day. Bitcoin is still illegal in my country so I invested with caution. On my wedding day I want to gift half of my investment to my wife.
Should I gift bitcoin to my wife? I want your advice

if you love and fully trust your wife, you can give half of your investment to her. but if it were me personally, I wouldn't do that, even to my own wife. i would rather give her cash than give her half of my investment in bitcoin.

not because I'm stingy or anything, but she lacks knowledge about bitcoin and at any time she could be careless by giving the private key to someone else or she could just sell the bitcoin when the price fell and use the money to buy bags or things other. so if it was me i would not give my wife bitcoins.
1229  Economy / Economics / Re: Rent or buy real estate - let's have a debate on: June 14, 2023, 06:33:56 AM
if I have to choose to rent or buy a house with debt, I prefer to rent a house. the reason is quite simple, because I don't want to be in debt and be burdened with high bank interest. by renting I can rent a house in a more strategic location which can save my time anywhere. I can also set aside part of my income for more profitable things.

even though I have to choose to buy a house, I prefer to buy it as an investment using cash, of course. even though I have to spend quite a lot of money at least I can avoid high interest.
1230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: June 13, 2023, 09:04:45 PM
But the reality is that Newcastle have managed to get good results over the last two seasons without any star players in their squad. Because, even though Newcastle has a lot of money, but they don't quickly chase star players. In fact, so far there doesn't seem to be many rumors saying one of the star players there will join Newcastle. That means Newcastle seem to have their own way of building a team, perhaps by simply maximizing the potential that every player in their squad has. But yes, if that's the case then it's difficult for Newcastle to be able to maintain consistency because after all, I'm sure that slowly Newcastle will make big changes.

newcastle is a team that is quite extraordinary because since the beginning of last season they were not a team that was predicted to finish in the top 5 but in reality, on the contrary, they appeared extraordinary and were in the top 3 a few weeks but had to be shifted by man utd who was doing quite well since being coached by ten hag.

In this new season, I'm sure that Newcastle's achievements will be consistent because there have been no significant changes made by the Newcastle management so far.
1231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Still Gamble? on: June 13, 2023, 06:52:28 PM
People are saying that gambling is not good so nobody should involved themselves in it. Fathers/Mothers (parents) are shouting to their sons and sometimes beating them all because of gambling. If you are a gambler, the society sees you as a bad boy or person or a waste person in the family. Parents would be saying "look at your age mates, they are going to school and become a successful persons in the society, you are here playing gambling". They would even say, gamblers steal and thieves.
And really when you look at some of those boys they play Draft game morning till evening. Upon all these allegations against gambling. People are still Gambling. WHY? Is There Any Mystery Behind?

Gambling is addictive, especially for the peoples who have tasted big wins or are inspired by other people's big wins, so gambling will never disappear and many people will always play it. but the thing to note is that gamblers who are responsible will always win but it's different from gamblers who are greedy and stupid, they will only accept defeat as a result of their greed and stupidity, so control yourself, train yourself to be a disciplined person and don't want to fall into a gambling addict.

Aku juga mencoba beberapa explorer selain blockchair tapi mendapati error karena IP address dari Indonesia diblock oleh mereka, entah mengapa diblock, padahal explorer itu bukan exchange padahal.
Agan yakin itu block tidak berasal dari ISP yang agan gunakan? Selama ini ane menggunakan berbagai jenis explorer blockchain tanpa VPN tidak pernah mengalami blokir IP. Kalaupun iya, alternatifnya ya menggunakan VPN/DNS encryption kalau agan tidak mau repot. Btw, kalau sekedar konversi ke IDR bisa juga pakei Preev, Pnnv atau website sejenis. Tinggal kopas saldo wallet agan dari explorer ke website tersebut.

tampaknya agan ini memakai akses internet dari perusahaan plat merah. karena pengalaman saya juga ketika mengakses blockchain.com itu juga mengalami error dan tidak bisa diakses. satu-satunya cara saya untuk bisa check transaction Bitcoin, jika malas menggunakan VPN, yaitu dari blockchair.com.

saya tidak tahu apa alasan pemerintah melakukan blokir kepada akses blockchain.com, padahal itu bukan situs perdagangan crypto. terlebih sangat lucu melihat pemerintah melakukan blokir terhadap situs seperti ini namun tetap mengambil pajak dari perdagangan crypto dan presiden berbicara mengenai bitcoin dan blockchain. pemerintah seperti antara mau tapi malu untuk bisa menerima adopsi crypto secara luas.
1233  Economy / Economics / Re: Could there be a new financial system not dependent on USD? on: June 12, 2023, 04:25:11 PM
It is hard to imagine a financial system that is not dependent on the dollar. There is a lot of talk about de-dollarization, but the dollar is not particularly depreciating in different countries, which means that there is still a demand for the dollar.

We were born and raised in an era where USD dominates the world, so it is a myth to hear about getting rid of USD and not depending on it. But if we learn about the history of world currency, before the USD dominated the world, we also had the currencies of England and France...that once dominated the world. That means that the USD weakening or being replaced is not impossible, anything will happen, but the question is when it will happen. I believe everything has a lifespan, nothing lasts forever, and higher mountains will have higher mountains.

agree with you, all of us here grew up in an era where the USD dominated the market and it would be difficult to remove it from international trade, because people's trust in the USD was quite high. but even so, nothing is strong forever, and that includes the USD. USD weakening can be done by Yuan, Ruble, and several other currencies. these countries could have left the dollar and switched to other currencies that are more profitable for them.

but even if weakened, the USD will still be the choice for people for international transactions. it will still be a solution for people because indeed the average person in the world is used to using USD in their international transactions and it is quite difficult to change this habit.
1234  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Gambling is different from trading on: June 12, 2023, 12:35:15 PM
I was doing a comparison between gambling and trading I find out that their is merging between trading and gambling, I want to explain the categories of trading and gambling from my research gambling don't have to do with skills, but people prefer gambling than trading, but I kicked against gambling because it does not have control that leads to victory during time of diecasting your prediction in gambling therefore I concluded that gambling have to do with luck.

While trading is a skill that you will learn and understand the basic factors that can hinder your trading not to be successful, a trader can notice it's mistakes after loss and make corrections while a gambler mistakes can't be corrected because it deals with prediction. I notice that people do not put their money much in gambling than trading whereas the risk and loss is more efficient in gambling than trading. When we study trading very well there is no way we can trade in a month without making profit and as a beginner in trading we don't need to start trading with money that we can not afford to loss, while in gambling so many people gamble with their salary and last money. So I prefer trading more than gambling because it is a skill and it can be controlled.

I think what distinguishes the two is that gambling tends to be done without a strategy, you really rely on luck there, while trading you use a strategy to be able to achieve what you want, you really think according to market data, patterns or historical data from the assets you trade.

but sometimes a trader can gamble for the assets he has in an uncertain market, because here he only hopes that the market will be on his side, whether it's because of the news or other things which cannot be predicted. so a trader can sometimes be a gambler, because he cannot analyze the market as he wants.

I read some news about this platform. https://business-magazine.biz/2023/06/04/the-legendary-mircea-popescu/ So i decided to find some info on that platform: www.spencer-invest.com It seems they offer a really good % on staking. Do you ever used it? I am thinking to put 1 btc on their platform, but not before I get some advice from someone who used it already.
Thank you.

the moment they listed verizon, paypal, and amazon in one section of their website, i could immediately conclude that this was a scam website which was built by a boy who had little experience in scams.

my advice is that you can avoid investment platforms that offer easy investment and good returns as easy as turning your palm. Most of these platforms are MLM platforms under the guise of investments where it's only a matter of time before their owners run away.
1236  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the best career for women on: June 12, 2023, 09:22:09 AM
Bitcoin's popularity is increasing day by day. Now in today's society both men and women are working shoulder to shoulder together in the office. No exception to this, women are also very interested in Bitcoin and current Bitcoin. The reason for interest is that when a woman works in an office, it becomes a bit difficult for her to juggle family and children. In today's society we see many working women leave their children with the workers and go to office, those children are abused by the workers. I think all the sisters who have chosen this bitcoin as their profession should not face such problems. Because after all the children's work and household chores, there will be enough time to devote to bitcoins. So choosing Bitcoin as a career can be a good decision for girls.

well, Bitcoin is a digital asset not a job, you have to understand this. if it's about blockchain developers or anything related to that, that's a job. to be honest, in the crypto world itself it's open to anyone, it doesn't look at gender, whatever you want, you can work in the crypto world according to your abilities.

but the more crucial the work, the greater the responsibility, for example a blockchain developer is a complicated and tiring job, you have to deal with programming code and I don't think this is a suitable job for women who don't want to get too tired. maybe analysts or investors or traders could be an option if they want a job that doesn't take up too much of their time and I think enough women are already taking this job in the crypto world.
1237  Economy / Economics / Re: How do cryptocurrencies affect Global Economy? on: June 12, 2023, 06:48:34 AM
...
Is it true that cryptocurrencies will weaken the global financial system? That system which is managed by countries with the strongest economies with their currencies that has gained wide acceptance to be traded in financial markets all over the world.
...

will crypto weaken the global economy? the answer is no, because crypto's influence on the global financial system can be considered not too big. In fact, cryptocurrency will complement the global financial system by providing a faster, anonymous and secure payment system compared to what is offered by central banks, and this will be an option for those who want to make transactions internationally but don't want the hassle.

so there is no strong basis for saying that cryptocurrencies will be able to weaken the global financial system, because even though the crypto market is quite large, it cannot weaken the global financial system as a whole, unless everyone switches to cryptocurrencies where the possibility for that is small.

Manchester city has built a defensive line that has the combination of speed and power, which is the greatest need of physical football, born against the dominance that Guardiola has created in the recent past, by constantly spending the biggest budget on the defense zone since the day he came, and finally getting the consistency he wanted. And with the departure of quarterback Cancello in January, this profile got even sharper: an army of elephants with the physique of the defender + the energy of the fullback at the same time. In short, the city has turned into a stronger poison that also kills the current antidote, the system is now working almost perfectly. I don't think it can be even compared to Arsenal in some aspects, or any other team in that matter.

arsenal is still away from man city, even though at the start of the 22/23 season they looked really great but at the end of the season they turned into a weak team and that is really worrying. while man city they continue to show their best quality and guardiola managed to build a great team on all fronts (midfield, front and back). I am pessimistic that Man City can maintain the brand's good performance in the future because the competition in the EPL is very tight.

Inter are playing very well so far but what I see at the moment are mistakes.
 
Manchester City finally score a goal in one quick moment. A goal for Rodrigo, and an important one for Manchester City in their quest to win the champions league for the first time. Manchester City have not been the best team and do not deserve that goal, but they have it and Inter Milan now have to struggle to try to score against Manchester City that their defence has been very good this season in the champions league. This Manchester City goal will force Inter Milan to change their approach in the remaining moment of this game to try to break Manchester City defence and get an equalising goal. There is still a lot to play for and Manchester City do not need to relax because they have a goal. They also need another goal to ensure they win this.

man city successfully won their first treble winner as well as their first UCL title, they are really great this season (congrats to pep guardiola who successfully gave the UCL trophy to man city). next season will definitely be even more challenging for man city, even though at the moment they are the best team in the world but changes continue to appear and we will see other teams pose a big threat to man city.
