I don't think there is any changes will happen in the legue 1. The only mistake that I am expecting is for PSG to draw with Lens or any other small club but I don't expect them to lose.
PSG will win this Ligue 1 in 2022 - 2023. With what Messi, Neymar and Mbappe have shown in the season, they won't lose the title this year. Other clubs in French Ligue 1 are not competitive enough to beat PSG even PSG won't have perfect results.

I also agreed about this no change is going to happen in the league table because we already watch how things are going into different leagues after the break
PSG are strong in attacking and they destroy the league with their trio. Their midfielders are good enough to control matches and give attacking players good balls to score goals. Their defense is not at world class level but in Ligue 1, it is not matter. They can have troubles in Champions League with their defense but in Ligue 1, it is good enough to secure their goalkeeper and bring their team to winning in most of matches.

Break or not break, PSG second squad can win matches in Ligue 1 too so the World Cup 2022 does not impact them a lot.

"Invest only an amount you can loose" means that you should not invest all the money you have. Nobody likes to loose money unnecessarily, so to every one making a tangible investment with bitcoins, it is surely an amount they will not be happy loosing. Invest only an amount that you can loose means do not put all the money you have into bitcoins especially when you are in the position where you are not expecting any money from any source.
Invest when you are afford to lose, I agree.
Invest when you use your extra money for it, I agree with OP too.

Using extra money to invest means after investing, we have a saving (not is used for our investment) to use for emergencies.

Quote
If you have a stable source of income, and you are always expecting money from the sources, you can invest all the money you have at hand to buy a good amount of bitcoin when the opportunity arises, knowing that you are expecting money to sustain your lifestyle.
I disagree. We can not control things happen in our lives, in society around the world. Pandemic, great recession are what we don't expect but can not stop it when they come. Stable jobs, I am not sure that we will be able to keep stable jobs when a pandemic, a great recession comes.

2022 is a year many Big Tech companies fire many employees. It did not happen in many years and I believe many of fired people thought they had stable jobs.

The last five marches between Burrusia Dortmund was balanced. Chelsea won two and Dortmund one two and they drew one. There are speculations of Dortmund losing some of their key players before the march on February 5th. Jude Bellingham is a key target of Real Madrid and Liverpool. While Youssoufa Moukoko is been linked  to Manchester United. We are seeing the Chelsea team going through some reinforcement through new signings and a prospect of even signing mnoe players.
Will Marco Reus be ready for the match with Chelsea? In general, Chelsea are better in quality and they have more players at word class level than Dortmund. Players in Dortmund are either too young like Moukoko or old already like Hummels, Reus. Jude Bellingham had a good World Cup 2022 but he is young and can not carry Dortmund in all matches. He is also a midfielder, not a striker and can not really help Dortmund to win matches by his goals.

Quote
Hopefully, Reece James would be in the march after recovering from his injury. From my current performance, I am speculating that Chelsea would win the match comfortably.
Reece James is a very strong swing back and with him, Chelsea will have a good swing back who can help them to have balance between attacking and defense. Reece is very good to support attacking system too.

I don't even think like that. Dortmund has been losing some players. There will be so many changes in the club to happen. I see that chelsea can take it as opportunity to win against dortmund. Im sure that dortmund's formation will be changing again.
Dortmund always lose their star players to big clubs, to Bayern, Real Madrid, Chelsea and others. Chelsea are more experienced in Champions League than Dortmund. They won two trophies and usually go farther each season in Champions League.

I believe Chesea will win against Dortmund after all and go to quarter final.

With staking, before you use money to buy a coin, a token and stake it, you must have understanding about [DeFi Tutorial] What is Impermanent Loss?

A longer you stake, the more coins and tokens you will have than the initial number you use for staking. Very sadly, having more coins and tokens don't bring you profit from initial investment for staking.

The lock time is long and risky. If you can not sell your coins soon enough to get initial capital, you will face with impermanent loss.

By the way, both clubs have won any title in the international arena for a long time. For Barcelona it's 2015 and the Champions League, and for United it's 2017 and the Europa League. We can say that United is the more experienced club in this tournament  Grin
Both giants in the Europe had their last successful seasons many years ago, 7 years for Barcelona and 5 years for Manchester United when they won their last titles in Europe. After that, they fell into their terrible crises that have yet ended.

Quote
And another interesting factor that can be checked in this confrontation is that Barcelona this season loses all the big games, while United, on the contrary, performs better than expected. Will this trend continue?
Any trend can be broken anytime but with the records, it is more logic to bet that Manchester United will beat Barcelona. For me I choose Barcelona because they have beter system at least in attacking and they have a good striker Lewandowski who can break United defense anytime. Manchester United don't have good players like Barcelona in attacking.

Both clubs have bad defense systems.

He meant indirect investment like the link he posted which means not buying the cryptocurrency himself which the article says crypto ETF and Mutual funds. It defeats the purpose of owning the crypto assets though.

In this forum, one can really get to earn crypto either altcoins or BTC by joining campaigns. That would mean no money coming out of the pockets but he gotta work for it.
What he invested in is not real bitcoins but medium certificating assets that claim to be bitcoins. If those companies, those funds collapse, he won't get any bitcoins and will lose all money he used to buy those assets.

Buying bitcoins on centralized exchanges, storing bitcoins in their custody wallets are bad enough but what OP wanted to do is more terrible. He did not buy bitcoins but buying toilet papers
1727  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: It Is Possible To Invest In Crypto Currency Without Buying Any Coins. on: December 30, 2022, 02:55:20 AM
Did you misunderstand about investment?

Investment means you use your money, capital to buy something, hold it with belief that these things will increase in value and bring profit to your portfolio.

If you don't buy anything, it is not investment.

You can claim faucets, receive cryptocurrency as birthday gift or any sort of gift from others and hold it too but with these inputs, I don't consider that you are investing.

Wiki definition for Investment
Quote
Investment is the dedication of money to purchase of an asset to attain an increase in value over a period of time. Investment requires a sacrifice of some present asset, such as time, money, or effort.

Their website and Twitter. That token is on Coinmarketcap too.

They provide a platform for free lancers from many areas and you should check it. I consider that platform is better than the hyve blog you shared.

Future blocks must be based on past blocks and past data of Bitcoin public ledger to move and confirm new blocks.

It's clear that Bitcoin Proof-of-Work blockchain is based on proof of works. Proof from works of miners on the network and these proofs are stored in Bitcoin nodes, full nodes, prune nodes and its public ledger. With many nodes, the blockchain data is stored on many locations and totally decentralized by geographical locations.

Miners and nodes don't work based on trust but they assess data from other nodes, other miners before adding new blocks to their node data base.
1730  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: You Missed ETH, Missed BNB, Please Don't Miss RENEC Too on: December 29, 2022, 02:46:07 AM
If it is a token from a centralized company, it won't be better than ETH.

RENEC and BNB are both from centralized companies but if you compare them, Binance is better than Remitano. BNB is better than RENEC.

Remitano has many successful years in crypto market so their token RENEC can have a successful future too. However I still see more risk with RENEC token than with ETH and BNB.

BNB now has very cheap price and from $250 to $4000 like ETH made in 2020 bull market, it's enough for me. x20 with BNB is enough and I don't want to take higher risk with RENEC.

Indeed Haaland was hungry for goals Wink seeing the World Cup and how many goals his rival Mbappe scored will make him angry and hungry for sure!
Leeds 1 - 3 City, 2 goals scored by Haaland which makes him the best scorer with 18 goals after 15 rounds. City returned to the second place with 5 goals difference from Arsenal.
Haaland can not stop scoring goals and he started a second round of destroying Premier League with his goals. After an injury, recovery time and break time for World Cup 2022, now Haaland is fully with energy and will continue his scoring streak.

When Premier League has yet passed a half of its season, Haaland already scored 20 goals. That makes Haaland is very solid at a first position of Premier League Scorer List with 7 goals more than Harry Kane.

That's why people create a petition to eliminate Haaland from the premier league because this guy is very dangerous. this guy is like a monster who is hungry for goals.
It is a only a hilarious petition for fun. Because it will never be approved by FA, never. If FA can ban any player because of his extraordinary performance, they will make Premier League like a shitshow and this league will no longer be attractive to best players.

They need best players and best coaches to make their league as a best or at least most exciting league in Europe.

What did neymar do? What the fuck was happening with neymar. He was making unneeded fouls that makes him got a red card. PSG was only winning with small scores. 2-1 has become a good result as long as PSG was making full points.
Though Neymar did have a bad match and it is a failure of Neymar against Mbappe in this match, Neymar still wins against Mbappe in this season in general performances. The internal competition between Neymar and Mbappe in PSG is very interesting.

Quote
It might be 2-0 if marquinhos didn't make own goal that was giving a goal to the strasbourg. As a team with so many world class player and it's weird to see that PSG was not able to win from strasbourg easily.
Marquinhos often makes personal mistakes and I think he is not deserved to be a heart of PSG defense. To win Champions League, they must find another better central defender to replace Marquinhos.

Quote
Mbappe was making a goal through penalty. Hmmm the performance from PSG didn't make me feel amazed with it.
Mbappe is not too good at penalty spots but his confidence has been increasing. If he can learn a penalty kick technique from Neymar and Messi, he will be very dangerous at the spot. Both Neymar and Messi had bad penalty records but after they changed their kicking technique, they improved their successful rates a lot.

What if the government of a country is irresponsible and issues a large amount of currency to buy Bitcoin?
Be responsible or irresponsible, be knowledgeable, experienced and skillful to manage their inflation or not, governments always lead their countries inflation. They can not stop it and it is how governments manage their national economies.

It is possible that governments use their fiat currencies to buy Bitcoin. So far we have yet known that who is (are) Satoshi Nakamoto? The founder of Bitcoin can be a person, a government or any entity.

It is not one point behind but 5 if they win this game as right now they are 8 points behind with 1 game less and that less game will be played tonight.I also think that Manchester City is much better in quality than Leeds but let's not forget that surprises here in the Premier League are prone to happen more than any other league in the world and not only in Europe.I know that there will be goals in this game because Leeds plays more openly than they should trying to score goals and they usually score while also leaving room behind which have made them concede a lot of goals during this season.In the end I predict like everyone else a City win tonight.
5 points are more realistic gap for Manchester City to catch Arsenal and with that gap, Arsenal will feel more pressure from Manchester City. 8 points would be a bit bigger difference and Arsenal will feel safer that can help them to avoid less mistakes. I agree with you totally that maintaining 5-point gap is so important for Manchester City. It does not mean they will lose the trophy to Arsenal if the gap becomes 8 points with same total matches.

However, 5 points are more comfortable for Manchester City and they can not feel too much burden from Premier League whilst they have to fight in Champions League too. No doubt that Champions League will be biggest aim of Manchester City in this season.

Here I agreed about this mostly media needs something for the better viewer ship and in last few seasons we have first Messi and then Ronaldo now as these both ends, so they are now playing dirty games with this new generation player Mbappé who is doing good in this team and already won player of the tournament award in Qatar final even we have no official statement from any party and things looking good for all with Real Madrid is also having their targeted players into their team which mean they are not in connection with anything related to Mbappé after he skips them for PSG in last season.
Messi nearly came to his down side in the past season with too bad performance in PSG but he returned strongly in this season. Ronaldo is in contrast and he has similar situation like Messi in the past season.

At their ages, they will no longer have enough time to play and if they make any return, it might be their last time to return to top-notch level and performances. It is too soon to say everything ended for Cristiano Ronaldo. We must wait a few months or a next season to know and confirm this fact. With Messi, even he has a good season until December, it's too optimistic to think he will be able to maintain it for too many more years.

Quote
Mbappé and Real Madrid were in engagement, but now things are completely changed with PSG is also seriously involved in Champions League win and Real Madrid is also looking for other replacements hopefully media will also leave this all and try to have some better things for viewers in near future instead of having Mbappé and Real Madrid love affair.
The drama and change of Mbappe in the last summer caused to a bad thinking in Real Madrid about Mbappe. It can be a big barrier for Mbappe transfer to Real Madrid because he needs them more than they need him.

I am curious to see how Mbappe and Real Madrid will close their transfer drama on media. Will they come to each other after all?

Most of the top teams were on their best way just Tottenham were not good as expected, but things are looking impressive after the break for all top teams because we have too many goals from all teams and Arsenal and Newcastle United were also on their usual business with now we have last match between Leeds United vs Manchester City which is also looking easy on papers for the Citizens because they are also at their best after break in their first game of the EFL Cup.
The season is still long enough for Tottenham to participate in top four and end inside it. Their main attacking players Kane and Son had problems in this season. They had bad performances even before World Cup 2022 and in that tournament, their performances are not good too.

With appearance of Newcastle United and Arsenal in top four, it is very competitive to get a position in this top range. Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United will have to compete with Newcastle United for only two positions left. The first two positions likely will belong to Arsenal and Manchester City.

Quote
Chelsea surely change their formation and change of luck as well with first win after five games which is good for them because now they are preparing for their first challenge which is going to happen on 5th January against Manchester City and this could be very important for them as well because in case of lost most chances they will be dropped and losing their chance for the top four spot as well.
Chelsea are like other big clubs except Arsenal and Manchester City, they have unstable performance in this season. Formations, injuries, internal conflicts which are all not good factors for Chelsea in Premier League 2022 - 2023. As discussed, with this high competitive league, it's hard for Chelsea to end within top four if they make too many mistakes.

Lots happened which also affected the general Crypto market as well.  Hacks, misappropriation, carelessness and recklessness with investors funds and assets which no one could comprehend.
Lots of bad things but not all of them are new types of bad things in cryptocurrency. Hacks, data leaks, scams, Ponzi schemes, they are all old things. Only DeFi 2.0, stable coins, algorithmic stable coins help scammers to scam more easily. They scammed people not because cryptocurrency market is a scam market but this market is one of tools used by scammers.

Not all gamblers who use VPNs are using it for illicit purposes. Many use it for privacy reasons or just because they are used to it.
It doesn't matter why a casino forbids the use of VPNs, but if it does then just don't do it. You have to comply with casino's rules if you don't want to face any troubles.
However, it won't hurt to ask the support for permission and explain to them why you need to use it, as Mahdirakib suggested.
Gamblers must use their accounts with full understanding of casino's Terms of Service. Like VPN, with a few minutes of searching, they can find rules or no rules about that on one casino.

If rules say No, it is best to not try to break it with any tool. If a casino has a rule against it, they have reasons and they won't encourage and won't tolerate users who try to break their Service rules.

It is bad to not read rules before using but if you know about rules and break it intentionally, no words to find sympathy from casino or community.

Union Berlin made a really good start but they were so inadequate to maintain a good effort later on. They don't have a very impressive squad of course but they had a really good team spirit at first. It is always difficult to resist Bayern Munich's pressure but Union Berlin just gave the lead to them by themselves actually.

Because they started a terrible form and it lasted very long. It was too difficult for them to keep the lead in the meantime. From now on they can at least fight for top 4. It isn't impossible as long as they make the same effort at the beginning of the season.
They would be more realistic to think of Champions League next season than win Bundesliga. Because in Bundesliga, winning it means they will have to beat Bayern Munich and Dortmund. It is not easy to beat either Bayern and Dortmund in Bundesliga especially Bayern in a long season.

They usually can win a match, a few matches but they fail a battle to Bayern Munich.

Surprises from Union Berlin, Leipzig and Frankfurt are good for Bundesliga because it makes a league more exciting. Bundesliga actually needs more clubs like those ones to become a more competitive league.
