Bitcoin can continue its recovery to $28,000 or $30,000 and last two days are not ending of its mini bull run.

However I believe Bitcoin will retest the $15,000 bottom in future so if you want to wait for better profit, wait to take profit around $28,000. If you want to make sure you won't miss any profit, 20% is good enough, take it now.

I believe it will need a few months to see Bitcoin to touch $15,000 or $16,000 again. Perhaps it will only be seen with a flash crash before 2024 bull run.

I thought they would win this match, but the fact is they only got a draw. They can only score one goal, that's the problem. I thought they would be able to score 2 goals after they were able to score in the 18th minute, but apparently they couldn't add to their advantage so in the end an error occurred which led to a goal for Almeria. In the second half they did the same thing, yes they could no longer penetrate the defense built by Almeria until the referee sounded the whistle to mark the end of the game.
Atletico Madrid does not have good strikers like Forlan, Kun Aguero, Diego Costa, David Villa, Suarez and their attacking is weaker than past seasons. They bought Griezman from Barcelona but he is no longer Griezman years ago when he was one of brightest stars globally.

You are right about defense of Atletico Madrid should protect their advantages better. Their defense was weaker after their golden time with Diego Godin and Simeone, their coach looks to touch his limit too. I don't think Simeone is a bad coach for them but sometimes a club need to have a new coach and fresh air to motivate their players and win titles.

Simeone can give them feeling about stability and safety but this season is key for Atletico Madrid to decide about their future and contract with Simeone.

After the break Manchester City is having form issue just because of this now they are losing points in Premier League, but Barcelona is surely having different way like they play in yesterday game against Real Madrid things looking amazing, and we can expect good fight for the next round between these two clubs with most chances both are having equal chance for qualifying into next round because now things looking positive and they both have enough quality and match winners.
First of all, we know about FIFA virus and its impact on clubs that have too many international players. Second many players of Manchester City had very bad World Cup 2022 and they returned to club with bad psychology. Their performance for Manchester City is affected by being tired after World Cup 2022 physically but their psychology was impacted negatively too.

Player who did not participate in World Cup 2022 like Haaland can not return to his best performance yet. Haaland lost his sensitive touches and shots for Manchester City. His injury and recovery time are likely affected him too and he will need a little more time to be ready.

Quote
Now how they respond on match day this could be completely different story with win against Manchester City their confidence level is high, and they can beat any team because this is the biggest win under Ten Hag era for them, and they are completely different team with this all.
Time is no longer supports Manchester City even the season is long enough. However the excellent form of Arsenal in this season can turn the season to a nightmare for Manchester City. Bought Haaland who broke many Premier League scorer records but lose the trophy to Arsenal. It's an acceptable ending for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola and they will surely try to avoid it.
1664  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 15, 2023, 07:41:32 AM
That's where the Premier League is so interesting that many big players from various countries want to test new challenges in England. The teams ranked 1 to 4 are now competing fiercely, not to mention the teams ranked 5 to 10.
Recent seasons, some big clubs got troubles like Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal. In the past and this seasons, Manchester United and Arsenal started to recover and they are moving to top rankings again.

Average clubs like Newcastle United suddenly got ownership change and had bigger budget for transfer and salary. That helps them to become more competitive and contribute to general high competitive league.

Quote
Newcastle is one of the teams that has undergone tremendous changes since the arrival of the new owner and with the results obtained make them no longer worthy of being said as a mid-table team.
With rich budget for transfer and salary, Newcastle United were considered to become a big team in a few seasons. What they have achieved in this season is surprising because they got success sooner than expected.

Quote
Liverpool and Chelsea were originally and are still attached as a top 4 subscription team, now they have to work hard to get back to that position.
If Liverpool and Chelsea continue their bad forms like they are doing, they will end this season with rankings lower than the fourth one. It will give Newcastle United another great chance to become another powerful club in top four of this league.
1665  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: January 15, 2023, 03:21:43 AM
Real Madrid continues to be seen as the favorite against Liverpool.  Troubled matches are played for Liverpool in the league.  They get the results they don't want.  Real Madrid, on the other hand, are better overall in the league and are under the impression of the team closer to qualifying in the UCL.  In my opinion, the Real Madrid option seems wiser as a bet.
I am sure that Liverpool players have more pressure and psychological barriers when they have to play with Real Madrid again. After many bad results when played with Real Madrid in the last five seasons, it is not easy for Liverpool players to start matches with empty mind. They likely are obsessed with past defeats which can impact their performance in upcoming two matches.

In addition, Liverpool have worse form in this season compares to Real Madrid and it will make them a weaker team in their matches. Anyway, they can fight and decide their destiny and if Villareal can beat Real Madrid, Liverpool can do it as well.

If you cannot trade with profit, then your choice is really the right one to walk the coin until the price reaches a level when you are ready to sell BNB. Actually, this also applies to other coins, since as a rule long-term holders get a bigger profit than traders who do not always manage to keep their deposit.
When you have a profit, take it and if that is a great profit, you should withdraw your initial capital. That is to make sure your initial capital will be save partially or completely.

If I use $1000 to trade and get $200 in profit, I withdraw $200 and consider it as I already secure my $200 initial capital. Do it a few time till l secure the $1000 initial capital completely.

After completely secure initial capital, I will use it for investment. So at the end if I have successful trading with $1000, I will have $1000 for investment and $1000 for trading.

2015            2023
$0.26           $1.14

thats a 4.5x multiple

oh and $1.14 is only "cheap" for a "first world" guy... but a whole days salary for a billion plus people in other countries
#prospective
Compare 2015 and 2023 is not fair. How about inflation from fiat currency, central banks in those years? Worse than 4.5 multiplier?

$1.14 is a transaction fee for people who don't understand Bitcoin network and accept to use centralized exchanges to broadcast transactions for them. If they accepted to use those centralized services, they can not say they are poor because using those services.

They are rich or not rich but too generous to donate their bitcoins to centralized services.

If they spend time to learn they can broadcast their bitcoin transactions with fee less than $0.1 for one transaction. $0.1 in fee is not for the rich and not for people in first-world guys.

Is this a bull trap or was that the bottom? No one knows and time will only tell.

In the first place, this price increase in only a blip when zooming out, knowing how big of a drop we had last year.


Looks like a bull trap from an altcoin  Grin

I agree nobody can know it is a rise from real bottom or a bull trap. Usually it has to be retested the bottom even real bottom was touched and I think Bitcoin will retest its $16,000 bottom range again.

Halving is still very far and with more than one year before a next halving, Bitcoin will have other crashes to retest weak hands, dump pressure from weak hands. Market must be clean without too many weak hands and capital from them before a new bull run.

With great adoption for Segwit bech32 and Lightning Network last three years, transaction fees on Bitcoin network has become very cheap in average (BTC and USD), median (USD). It will remain cheap in future and if anything happens Lightning Network can handle it.

I agree that Lightning Network will continue to grow too.

You can not time the market but your patient time in the market is helpful for you.

Stay in the market, stay patiently and let the market does its own operations.

If you look at Bitcoin chart, a latest few months are boring and they are accumulation months. It makes a lot of sense to rise after accumulation. The year 2023 started with rises of stocks and good stats for CPI in USA. It is good support to boost Bitcoin but not real reasons. It has to rise after accumulation and news are not reasons, CPI is not reason.
1671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 13, 2023, 10:29:27 AM
after embarrassing Chelsea 2-1, Fulham has to be confident to meet Newcastle next Sunday. but the odds are still interesting between them, when we look picture below, Fulham hasn't the favorite to be a winner again even has to beat a big club like Chelsea. While Newcastle, when we look at the statistic, their performance is not better than Fulham, In 5 matches, Newcastle has drawn in the last matches while Fulham has won 4 matches in a row.


Statistics show they are similar in recent forms but Newcastle have better players than Fullham and their rankings demonstrate it too.

Fullham made us shocked by a win against Chelsea and got their fourth win in a row but it does not change anything in the match with Newcastle. Fullham played well but Chelsea unlucky to lose that match and I believe Fullham won't be able win against Newcastle United if they won't have super lucky support again.

The odds says Newcastle is a winner but if this match end with 1 point for each club, I think it is acceptable for Newcastle United. At least they can have one point and won't lose like Chelsea. 1 point is good enough for them when Manchester United are seriously racing for a third position with Newcastle United.
1672  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: is investing in ethereum safe? on: January 13, 2023, 09:40:08 AM
Ethereum is a No. 1 altcoin but that project had a big change to switch from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake.

Its network now is very centralized and with centralization, transactions can be censored. It is not good with the possibility of censorship, manipulation from centralized investors or groups of investor.

I still consider Ethereum as a best altcoin but investment always has risk.
1673  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I keep my BNB or Sell it? on: January 13, 2023, 09:22:37 AM
If you have some spare money with you that can cover up your expenses, better to hold it for a while because right now the price is too low for BNB and other altcoins. Since we our in a fresh year, better to consider observing the crypto market first in the first few months before you decide. After all, you only got it from Airdrops which is really a win-win situation for you.
Holding does not bring profit always. You must choose good cryptocurrency to hold like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB. Other altcoins, I don't know holding them is good or bad, to be honest with you. For bad altcoins, if you hold them longer, you get more loses so personally it is not good to hold altcoins generally.

With other altcoins, it is good to join their airdrops and wait for luck. I don't recommend anyone to buy new altcoins because it is so risky.

BNB and Binance are under lot of fud recent months especially after the FTX fiasco. The token still holds its price very well under fud so when fud gone away, it will fly again.
1674  Economy / Speculation / Re: Did Miss El Salvador cause the Bitcoin price to spike last night? on: January 13, 2023, 02:58:22 AM
It is not a Bitcoin adoption and Bitcoin did not pump because of this show. After months of accumulation and with a trend of bullish from stocks, gold in early 2023, Bitcoin joined the trend with its pump recent hours.

Adding a Bitcoin icon to her costume is not a Bitcoin adoption. It is a marketing noise, not adoption.

Adoption is when there is an agreement between buyer and seller to use Bitcoin as an exchange mean for their trade. The girl did not make any trade with her costume in the show.

She could do it by her idea but she could do it with a request from her President Nayib Bukele who strongly loves and supports Bitcoin. He put his nation to a bet with Bitcoin investment, Bitcoin bond (Volcano bond) and I am not surprised if the Venezuela Miss got a request from him.

Allowing users to self delete topics can increase scam and I believe don't allow it is better. Scammers will still scam but their scams will be shown for everyone.
1676  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: January 12, 2023, 03:33:40 PM
Sevilla's last three matches in La Liga and Copa Del Rey have had pretty good results, winning two and drawing one, while Girona have had a much worse result than the three matches they played, where they drew two and lost once . However, the Girona standings are slightly better than Sevilla, currently they are in 12th place in the standings, three points adrift of Sevilla who are in 17th place. For Sevilla this will be an important match, considering the points they currently have are quite close to relegation.

A win in that match will be a bet for Sevilla to improve their position in the standings, so this match will be quite interesting to watch and in terms of opportunities I see Sevilla will win this match.
This season is so strange and terrible for Sevilla. They usually are one of biggest clubs in La Liga and often have a position in top four or top six. Just one season ago, they competed with Real Madrid and Barcelona for the trophy till very last match days.

Now they have only one point more than Espanyol at the 19th position and risk of relegation is very obvious. With players Sevilla have, they should play better and have a higher ranking. A last three matches are good for them and I hope that it will be a booster for them to come back to first half of La Liga table. I can't imagine if Sevilla will be relegated after this season. Girona have 18 points, 3 points more than Sevilla and if Sevilla win, they will rank up to the 13th position, not too bad.
1677  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I keep my BNB or Sell it? on: January 12, 2023, 03:07:18 PM
I have currently 800$ worth BNB. These are got from NFT that I sold back months ago that I got from airdrop. So what i need to know should I convert it to stable coin or should I invest it for bitcoin? Because my friends say that BNB don't have a future anymore. So I'm fully worry about this.
BNB has cheap price recent months and you can hold your BNB.

You did wisely converted NFT tokens to BNB but in future, don't convert your BNB token to other NFT tokens. Holding BNB is better because most of NFT projects are not too good. Their tokens can be dumped by gamers, by their scam teams and you will have more risk to lose with NFT tokens.

BNB is backed by Binance that are strong and their buy back and burn events can help BNB not only to maintain its price in bear market but also will create hype in bull market.

Convert BNB to BTC is another good idea but in bull market, BNB will give you better profit than BTC.

It is difficult to know how true all this is, but the fact is that in every season something is missing for PSG to go all the way and win the Champions League.
Many things have to come together to win the Champions League, including team unity, physical strength, a high level of play and mental readiness when key matches are played.
Bayern will be a real test for the PSG team this season.
PSG spent a lot and in some seasons, they came too close to Champions League trophy. If they can continue to have like semi final and final matches, they will take a trophy in future.

Bayern is a really big name in Europe and Champions League so clearly it is a big test for PSG. This big test comes too early in this season for PSG but it's not a matter, they must win big clubs to get a trophy.

Spending hugely but year to year, season to season, same outcomes is all they get.
Did we say a same about Chelsea before they won their first Champions League? PSG will get it some day but it is not easy.

Quote
They have a good squad with winning mentality as it stands within the squad, quality players but I don't know how technically great the manger would be at most against a big side kike Bayern Munich.
All those issues related to ball passing and disagreement when it comes to penalty duties should have been settled already, Neymar has been eager to score as much goals this season so he reduced passing all of those chances leading to goal for Mbappe. Like i said they have Ramos, Messi and Neymar who have won the Champions League already they can put that winner mindset in other players.
PSG have problems with conflicts amongst their star players that only reduce their strength. About mentality, I agree on this because PSG did played and won great but not sure how they did wasted advantages just in a very short time in a second-leg matches. Nothing to explain it better than weak mentality and lack of self-confidence.

Ramos can bring high confidence for PSG defense with his strong mentality and ability to give other defenders in big matches. However, he is old and it can limit his contribution for PSG.

Let's see how it is going on. I saw bunch of people last year said the same thing as you when barcelona faced frankfurt, Mu is doing so well in any of EPL matches. Barcelona may have good result in head to head against MU but i think that the chance for both would be the same.
There will be so many surprises going to happen when MU will be against barcelona. I pick MU in this case. Barcelona looks strong enough but i think that i will be risking myself with it.
Manchester United have so great form recently and Barcelona are no longer strong like they were years ago. It helps to make their matches more balancing and increases chance for Manchester United. Barcelona are a little stronger than Manchester United in this season but Manchester United are stronger than Frankfurt.

So let's see how their matches will end in February.

Quote
The match is still very long to go. I hope that there will be so many improvements to be happened with MU
Time flies so fast and one month is not too long to go. Enjoy their matches in Premier League and La Liga a few weeks and we will have their matches in Europa League.

I doubt with Barcelona performance in Europe League, due managed first La Liga standing position and have three points left with Real Madrid still not sure having consistency performance because facing bigger team. Failure totally in Champion League and bad record achievement when bigger team opponent like Inter Milan and Bayern Munich are reason why doubt with Barcelona in Europe League.
Barcelona did not play well in Champions League but do you think Manchester United can play well as same as Inter Milan and Bayern Munich?

It is a hard question to answer as maybe they are in a groups of best clubs in Europe but at upper and lower positions. If small clubs can beat Barcelona, Manchester United have bigger chance to beat them. It is not like surely United will win against Barcelona, it's just they have a chance.

2FA for Electrum wallet is from Trustedcoin, a third party server.

Their server can be compromised but if you own two keys, you can sign your transactions. I don't want to use 2FA from Trustedcoin.

I will use a multisig wallet 2/3 cosigners on my different devices. One key for laptop, one key for desktop and one key I only create it and backup offline. I don't store that third key on any of my device and only import it if I need to use when one of two other keys can not be used.
