Well, only 3 games left. while Al Nassr is only 3 points adrift. if Al Ittihad slips in the remaining matches, it means providing an opportunity for Al Nassr to win the top of the standings. yes, at least this league is still interesting in the race for trophies.
Three matches and three points, chance is there but not too good for Cristiano and Al Nassr. At least 3 points in difference is better than 5 points and they can enjoy their winning as well as a bigger chance to compete with Al Ittihad after this match.

Al Nassr being able to win from Al Taae was as predicted and Ronaldo contributed one goal through a penalty and this brought the number of goals scored by Ronaldo to 13 goals and was only 4 goals behind his teammate Talisca who also scored in that match
Ronaldo scored an important goal from a penalty that helps Al Nassr to open the match and win it but during the match, he wasted some opportunities. At his age, he can still make very power shots but accuracy is not too good. His strength to jump for headshots is not good than the past too but it's natural as no player can fight and win against ageing forever. He still has his value like in a penalty, young players can miss it because of pressure but he completed it well and very confidently.

Talisca nailed the match with his goal and continue his race for a best scorer award in Saudi Professional League.

Didn't watch the match, but judging from the statistics it's very true that AC Milan didn't perform well enough this time, maybe even it could be said that their first match performed much better, I think AC Milan will not face high difficulties because they have played so many matches that they can know exactly the strengths and weaknesses of each. AC Milan only had 5 shots and only 1 was on target, so this was really a very weak performance, and couldn't even score a goal.
AC Milan started this semi final with big pressure from their defeat with two goal difference in a first leg. They even did not have a best of Rafael Leao because of injury and he only recovered shortly before the match. It impacts AC Milan attacking power but the match could be different if AC Milan score at least one goal in early of first half. If they have one goal in a first half, the match will become more opened for AC Milan.

Quote
Congratulations to Inter Milan, who will have the opportunity to repeat the feat they achieved more than a decade ago by becoming champions, it's very rare to see a team that doesn't often to reach the champions league final, I'm sure Inter Milan will not waste this opportunity, and maybe the final will be the same as they experienced where they are not the favorites to win, but can surprise by beating Bayern Munich who were the favorites at the time with two goals from Diego Milito.
Diego Milito was not a world class striker before that season. He got a transfer from Genoa to Inter Milan and under Mourinho well management, Diego made a history for himself and for Inter Milan. It is a best season in career of Diego Milito but who needs too many great seasons. If you can have only one but enough to win Champions League, it is a very big achievement.

In this season, Inter Milan have Lautaro Martinez who returned from a successful World Cup 2022 with Argentina. This season can be a very memorial successful season for Lautaro but he must win another match with Inter Milan in Champions League.

Inter Milan are different than AC Milan as they are more connected with Argentinian players and AC Milan have more favorite and success with Brazilian players.

I agreed about this, but mostly peoples understand this event is unpredictable, and any result can happen in any match so as things going right now we can't give perfect prediction who is going to win with Arsenal and Manchester United were surely best teams in early rounds
Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona all were kicked out of Europa League so it's no longer relevant to discuss about them here when Europa League comes to very last matches. 3 more matches including two semi finals and one final and Europa League will find a new champion.

Quote
suddenly Sevilla emerged as new favorite with Juventus is also good squad but there on and off the field issues are creating problems for them which are not allowing them to win with now things surely looking in hand of Sevilla which outclass Manchester United at home.
Sevilla made a come back at Old Trafford and they completed their job better at their home stadium to kick Manchester United out. With two quarter final matches with Manchester United, with my neutral stance, Sevilla more deserves to appear in semi final than Manchester United which have weaker mentality.

Quote
But, we all know Juventus is best in defensive games, so they can bring any surprise with other semifinal is also not predictable because Roma and Leverkusen both are in fair position to go into final.
Juventus can play defensive as they are a club from Serie A and Italy is a nation for Catenaccio tactic. However, Juventus have good attacking players and they can play well with attacking too.

Roma looks better as they only have Kumbula in injury but the defender will miss rest of the season. He is no longer in plan of Roma and Mourinho. He is not a main central defender of Roma and before injury of Smalling, Kumbula was only an alternative central defender.

Manchester City are being considered favorites here only because of the Etihad record they have, but facing Real Madrid even in their weakest days is never going to be a walk in the park and everyone knows this...But at the moment I think these City lads are motivated enough to bag all three cups here and the Champions League should be the most sought after and they will through everything they have at it!

My prediction: Manchester City 2-1 Real Madrid
I would like to see this match goes to two extra halfs. It is boring to see it ends within 90 minutes and if Manchester City win it, I would like to see a very dramatic win for them. If they win over Real Madrid, they will have a final match and might have a first trophy in Champions League.

If it is their ending in this season, I would like to see an emotional trophy for them starting with the second semi final with Real Madrid.

It's so hard to say Manchester City are stronger than Real Madrid or oppositely and what team deserve to play in a final match. After a first leg, they are equal, not only in a draw result but in their performance too. What team deserve to go to final match will depend on their next semi final at Etihad stadium.

The difference between  Source and Closed Source is as follows;
For open source code, it means the code is publicly available to anyone who wants it, and anyone can read, copy and modify the code as desired while for closed source code, access to the code for scrutiny and modification is not given to the public.
Open source has pros and cons.

It gives community ability to verify quality, security of one product but it also helps scammers to have easy works. With open source code, they can use it for their scam projects and it is part of reasons why we have thousands of altcoin in the market.

Are altcoins quality enough? I am really doubtful about their quality and they only switch from trend to trend. Their scam developers have never stopped their activities to fork and create zero value altcoins. From Proof of Work with many PoW algorithms, to Proof of Stake then Smart Contracts, they only create new projects with a new trend, without solid usability for society.

They create altcoins to steal your bitcoins.

Like this tool: https://www.tokencreated.com/

What a damn productive scam style.
1246  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: A question about miners choosing fork. on: May 16, 2023, 01:46:09 AM
When miner encountering a fork, one fork has less difficulty but longer in length, while the other fork is more difficult but short. Which fork should miners choose Smiley?
A fork will occur when on the initial chain, there is split to two or three different chains. Miners and mining pools have to choose what chain they will continue to mine with and obey those consensus on that chain.

Usually mining pools, nodes, and miners will choose a longest chain to continue their work (mining blocks and confirm transactions). They will less likely to choose shorter chains as it contains more risk for them. The second scenario only happens when some mining pools intentionally support a consensus which leads to that shorter chain so they clearly know what they are doing when they choosing that short chain, then become a fork.

Hell no, do you know that most of forks are useless and will die with time?

We never trust companies that say we should keep our BTC in their custodial service, because that is exactly the opposite of what everyone should do. Any non-custodial crypto wallet that is also open source will be a good choice, whether it's about generating a backup through a seed or extracting a private key that you will then store safely, preferably in multiple copies.

Never trust companies, because they are only there for profit, proven countless times and will continue to be proven in the future.
We only have to care about ending of a wallet company if that company provides a custodial wallet and we as their wallet users, don't own private keys of our coins.

We will have to rely on that wallet company to get access to our coins. They have private keys and their activities, approve or reject our withdrawal request will decide that we will be able to access our coins or not (lose it).

They can turn to be a scam company by suddenly shut down their service without notice, or with a fake notice like our CEO is dead and we lose all our coins, we are sorry and it's the end for their users. Many fake announcements can be make if they are a scam wallet company.

QuadrigaCX can't pay $190M owned because CEO with password die (2019)

You will only can wait for luck if they shut down their service. Not all will have partial repayment, compensation like QuadrigaCX.

What would happen to a wallet when the company hosting the wallet closes down?
Has any wallet company ever closed down before or experienced issue that affected holders Bitcoin?
Bitcoin Core, Electrum wallets have many wallet versions that were released in many years. You are fine if you store your bitcoin in old wallet versions.

If you have private key, your bitcoin is fine. Now and in future, if that wallet company is closed or the wallet software is abandoned for further development, you can move your bitcoin to a new wallet provides by another wallet software and company.

Not your keys, not your coins, that is to remind people that if they store their coins on exchange, they don't have private keys and if that exchange company closes or collapses or bankrupts, they will lose their coins.

With non custodial wallets and private keys, you are fine and don't have to care what happen with that wallet company.

Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts

There should be a separate wallet address for airdrop as possible, not just to become safe but also it helps us easily recognize free coins that have value.
They should use separating wallets for different purposes like investment storage, trading on legit websites, decentralized exchanges and smaller wallets for airdrop, retroactive tasks.

Quote
However, what I see is that most of these airdrop hunters don't take this seriously. Honestly, we can't change their behavior as these people certainly don't see the potential risk but what they see is the potential to earn money. Not to wonder why scammers keep increasing as they still notice that many innocent people are still in the market as well.
They might know about the security-wise advice but ignore it. They might not know about the security-wise advice at all.

I would like to use a computer for my daily activities on Internet, a separating computer.

A computer with which I installed my Bitcoin wallets to store my bitcoins, will be kept as mostly offline as possible. I never use it for DEX, airdrop and connect it to new websites.

Bitcoin investors know when and how to invest weather trading or mining there is an appropriate time for it.
A good investor does not time in the market because they will face with very challenging task when timing in the market. Mostly they will fail with that task so they have to use a better strategy, dollar cost averaging DCA that does not require them to time in the market.

Quote
And as investor you're not expected to hit and run or even eat up your profit. You've to give it time to grow hip hop and accumulate more.
No. Investors must have profit and take profit. They invest to gain profit so what is the point to not take profit with your investment.

Important reminder is if you can hold your coins in a long time like during two halvings about 5 or 8 years, that is great and with two halving cycles, you can take very good profit but it is not wrong if you take profit earlier, anytime if you see profit is good with you.
1253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 14, 2023, 11:04:46 AM
Everton got out of the relegation zone thanks to a win over Brighton in the last round and can now breathe a sigh of relief because Leeds will not overtake them since they played their game yesterday, and Leicester will have to play with Liverpool, who are in good shape and most likely should beat Leicester. City also need this win, but they will also think about the upcoming match with Real, so I do not expect many goals in this match, but City must win.
Everton have to win their match to make their advantage against Leeds United and Leicester City bigger. They have only 2 points more than Leicester City with 35 matches but they can make their gap with Leeds United to 4 points if they win their match.

Honestly I don't want to see either Everton or Leicester City to be relegated after this season ending but there will be likely only one of them will stay in Premier League. They both can stay in Premier League if they can pull Nottingham to the relegation zone. I am unsure that both clubs will be able to win against Nottingham in this race from the bottom. They have 2 and 4 points less than Nottingham but they still have one match to surpass Nottingham or reduce the gap to 1 point.

The only way to get UCL tickets for next season, Manchester United must really get up and improve because there are only the last few matches available to be able to maintain their position, beating Wolves is an advantage where Manchester United can keep their distance from Liverpool, but if it's Tuesday Liverpool can beat Leicester so the two are only one point apart.
They just woke up and won their match. With three matches remaining and four points in difference, chance for Liverpool is very small. Liverpool did hope that Manchester United will lose point yesterday but they successfully got three points and stopped their bad streak.

With three matches to play and four point in difference, if Manchester United win two matches, the game will be over with Liverpool.

Manchester city no doubt have the upper hand seeing that they would have the home crowd as an advantage but this can still not count when against the prolific Real Madrid side that probably know how to get a way around this particular round of the champions league.
Manchester City successfully got an equalizer in Madrid and will return to Etihad with a mission to win it to have a slot in final match. At least they did not lose a first leg in Madrid and it helps them to have less pressure at Etihad stadium. That equalizer goal can be very important for Manchester City but only if they can win in a second leg.

Quote
It won't be any surprise if am to see real Madrid knock Manchester city out of the competition because they have all the potentials and tactics to actually win Manchester city in this game despite the fact Manchester city would even be playing at home.
Real Madrid have enough skill, spirit and experience to do that at Etihad. They have very good combination of skillful, experienced players and young players with lot of strength, energy and motivation to climb up in their career. So Real Madrid will come to Etihad without fear, they will come there to beat Manchester City.

10 years ago, if anyone say with Galaticos 2.0, Real Madrid can win 5 Champions League with them, it's unrealistic. Now they have 5 Champions League titles already and are very close to their six Champions League final match.
1256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 14, 2023, 06:28:28 AM
Milan mission to enter the top four list of the standings reaped a failure due to the defeat to Spezia, the hurricane of injuries that befell Milan made Stefano Pioli have to rotate his squad. The starting eleven that Pioli installed without the presence of Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao in the attack line, Ante Rebic and Divock Origi who were relied on in the attack line were unable to repay the trust that was given by Pioli.
AC Milan if not careful, will lose their position in top six and face with a risk to be not appear in either Champions League and Europa League next season. They have 61 points but under them, AS Roma and Atalanta can equalize it. Atalanta is a bit far as they already played 35 matches like AC Milan but AS Roma will have play with Bologna today. They will have chance to get 61 points like AC Milan.

Those best attacking players surely were reserved for a second leg with Inter Milan next week in Champions League.

Quote
Pioli rotation is not without reason because in the coming days Milan will have to face Inter again in the Champions League. This defeat has kept Milan in fifth place, four points behind Lazio, who is in fourth place. Spezia on the other hand managed to maintain the chance to stay in Serie A next season by still being in 18th place with 30 points.
This rotation time fails and as said AC Milan have lot of uncertainty not only in Champions League but also in Serie A too. They sacrificed this week for Champions League semi final but what if they lose it and have to return to Serie A with bad psychology and continue their falls in their last three matches.

Litecoin looks good and its halving is about 2 months and a half.

Litecoin is one of oldest altcoins and it is a Proof of Work coin so it has less risk than smart contract tokens too. In 2019 halving, Litecoin rose a lot with halving effects and hopefully it won't be different in 2023 halving.

If Litecoin only rise to nearly its all time high with 2023 halving, it is so good for your 2 or 3 months holding already. When Bitcoin is stable again after its correction, Litecoin is very good altcoin to hold.

The first half has ended and the current score is Leeds 1 - 1 Newcastle United, based on match statistics, Newcastle dominated the match with 68% of possession, besides that they also carried out more attacks than Leeds. With all these circumstances, I'm sure Newcastle can get 3 points and further secure their position in 3rd place in the EPL standings. What do you think? can Newcastle score in the second half and make this second half their own?
With such domination and good attacking power from Newcastle United, I believe that they won't let this match end with a draw. Newcastle United have very good defense and attacking ability and they have very good goal difference in top 6 of Premier League. It means a lot about their ability to score goals in this season. Leeds United in contrast does not have good defense and maybe they will have to receive another loss in this season.

Why is that a problem for the Champions League qualifications? Not now Newcastle's position still cannot be pursued by Man United. It is precisely here that I am worried that Man United will lose a place in a fairly close time if the results against Wolves later with a bad performance again. There is still time to rebuild attacks even though here Leeds is difficult to balance the Newcastle game. Because for now, Newcastle will not throw away every opportunity. Draw results in the first round will be increased very quickly by Newcastle.
Newcastle is safe in top four and they will have 4 points more than Liverpool even if this match ends with a draw. They also have better goal difference than Liverpool so Liverpool will need to see Newcastle United to lose in two matches in last three matches to have a chance to surpass Newcastle United. It is very impossible for Liverpool and their only target is Manchester United.

All markets are seasonal, ups and downs happen in all markets, but what's special about the crypto market is that volatility and power are at the highest levels. Nothing compares with crypto and some incredible spikes that happened (both ways) in so short period of time.
Market is volatile, ups and downs and you must survive in a bear market to enjoy a bull market. If you can not survive through a bear market, a bull market later does not mean anything for you.

Quote
Well, we have to be smart, opportunities are everywhere, and there's something for everyone. Markets are seasonal, and there are many risks, but I think that we have good reasons to believe that the crypto market will continue to grow.
Market continues to grow and will give us more chances but only if we have capital to invest. Therefore protecting our capital is most important task for our future. If we have capital, we can have chance. If we lose our capital, we will not be able to take any chance in future to get richer.

Your success depends on how you change your process and adapt new strategies and methods that best suite the changing market conditions from every now and then, if you can keep up, you will be good, if not, you will probably lose momentum.
Only if we don't lose all capital with past mistakes. We only can change our strategies if we have capital (don't lose it all). If we lose it all, we will have to work to have new capital, make a loan (that we should not do) but it will take time and require us to save money from other things in life.

Don't think that we will always have jobs to work and receive salary. We invest into something to increase our capital, not to lose it and return to work and get money to pay for food, water, electricity.

They announced it but from announcement to actual dump on the market is different. They might do it in 2023 as announcement or they will postpone it till 2024 or 2025 bull market.

I agree that if that they execute it in 2023, they will have a bad execution as if they hold the execution one or two more years, they will gain more money from their selling execution and possibly gain x2, x3, x4 or x5 than the value they can gain if selling in 2023.

People were fearful of US. government dump weeks ago but they were over panic about that. 40k or 50k BTC from the US. government is not too big with Bitcoin trading volume in 2023. The market can absorb it very well but price dump will be seen because of panic selling in the crowd.
