321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 11, 2024, 05:03:30 AM
Inter Milan's performance against Roma lived up to expectations. As the fovorite contender for the league title, anything less than a win against Roma would have been considered a disappointment. Roma, with their new inexperienced manager, faced a formidable challenge in trying to overcome Inter Milan, especially considering Inter's consistent performance both domestically and in elite competitions. The fact that Inter secured the win, particularly while playing away from home, shows their superiority and determination.
Inter Milan are stronger and they finished the match as a winner as predicted by many people. They actually had some fearful minutes in the match before they can equalize the match and led Roma 3 -2. The final goal to nail the match as 4 - 2 is only at very late minute and it only polishes the winning for Inter Milan. In fact, they were challenged seriously by Roma and even faced with a loss.

Quote
While Roma may have put up a fight by scoring two goals, Inter Milan's quality and resilience prevailed. This win further solidifies Inter's position as frontrunners for the Serie A title this season, with the trophy seemingly within their reach. But Roma have put their best efforts and resilience, as they demonstrated determination and competitiveness despite the odds stacked against them.
Roma played well enough and they even came closely to an equalizer 3 -3 if Lukaku can handle a good pass from Pellegrini better. If he can score a goal in that situation, I believe the match would end as a draw for both teams.

The loss is bad in result but in performance, it shows good signal that AS Roma actually are improving with De Rossi. They are playing more attacking and more effectively in attacking but there is still common hole in their team. Defensive system must be improved as it is weak in both coaches, Mourinho and De Rossi. They let Marcus Thuram scored two easy goals by crossing touches.

Low leverage is definitely a safe way to trade futures until extreme levels of market volatility occur. From my experience, I have lost as many times in futures trading by trading in low marketcap coins and by trading in new coins. So I think if one wants to start futures trading then he should trade in top marketcap coins with low leverage to minimize the possibility of quick account washout.
When you touch leverage, it is start of nightmare, not a safe journey. Because you begin with low leverage but soon by some ways, you will escalate it and use higher leverage. Sooner or later, you will end with being forced liquidated by exchange because of leverages. It's not an happy ending for everyone with a forced liquidation.

Quote
Because futures trading with the plan to get rich overnight will result in losing funds and exiting the market. A trader can stay in the market for a long time if he has proper money management and applies it properly.
With leverages, futures trading types, you will have to pay extra fee than normal trading fee (taker, maker fee) because you will have to make loan to trade with leverage, futures. A longer time you let your position opens, a more extra fee you will have to pay. It will cost you more than with Spot Trading even if your position won't be liquidated.

This match was very boring, Girona, which was previously expected to be able to provide resistance to Real Madrid, instead appeared like a mediocre team that had no purpose in its game. This result further strengthens the assumption that Real MBarcelona and Atletico Madrid, which have been performing well so far, are starting to lose balance in their performances, it is very difficult for these two teams to compete with Real Madrid this season because the difference in points is very large.adrid will reap success this season in La Liga, the victory over Girona makes Real Madrid even stronger at the top of the standings with a difference of 5 points.
The match is boring as Girona could not challenge Real Madrid too much and they were destroyed by Real Madrid. This defeat gives Girona a feeling that they are not competitive enough against Real Madrid in a direct match. In addition, this loss costs more for Girona, they are seeing Barcelona potentially more closely. If Barcelona win their match, they will reduce point difference against Girona to only 3 points. Girona will feel pressure to be taken over the 2nd position and if they drop to a third position, it's time for them to think of bigger risk, to be kicked out of top four.

Quote
It was very difficult to beat Real Madrid when Ancelotti fielded his best squad, no other club was able to provide competition to Real Madrid after they managed to beat Girona. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which have been performing well so far, are starting to lose balance in their performances, it is very difficult for these two teams to compete with Real Madrid this season because the difference in points is very large.
Ancelotti is very experienced and he set up a good plan for Real Madrid to beat Girona. It plus with an excellent performance of Jude Bellingham, helped Real Madrid to have an easy win. This is like a strong voice from Real Madrid that they are a strongest competitor in La Liga 2023 - 2024 and they will likely become a new champion next some months.

While Tether has indeed been subject to scrutiny and controversy, it's essential to approach the topic with a balanced perspective. While some voices in the community have raised valid concerns about Tether's transparency and backing, others argue that it serves a vital role in providing liquidity and stability to the crypto market.
Tether use their money to buy US. bonds and Circle USDC do the same too. Stable coin companies are engaging deeper in USA. economy and Tether are becoming bigger with time.

They recently changed an audit company to a bigger one as their effort to improve their audit report to community and customers as well as to build up their reputation.

I did not believe in Tether too much but after the Terra UST stable coin depeg and some similar depegs on several stable coins, Tether USDT is a best stable coin if you need one stable coin to use. At least they handled about $10B withdrawals from customers smoothly, no issue. I am not sure how will they handle bigger withdrawal like $20B or $50B.
325  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Day trading or Long term on: February 09, 2024, 12:55:46 PM
So I have been trying to wrap my head around which is a better option, day trading crypto or buying for long term keep.
While they both have their pros and cons, they both come with a form of risk and they are meant to generate profit.
The major difference between them is that day trading tend to make profit from small market volatility, while hodling make profit from the bigger change in crypto value.
They are both risky but trading is more risky than investment in general. However you must know if you are professional with trading, you don't have to own Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency and you simply enter and exit the market with good entry and exit, good discipline and prompt actions.

If you invest in a bad cryptocurrency, by holding it you will only lose your capital.

However, again let's emphasize risk of trading is bigger than investment and by holding a good cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, you can get profit, avoid loss.

Trading does not mean you always trade with small market volatility. It depends on your taste and experience but basically, a market is lively when it is volatile and has high trading volume. Traders would like to join a market with high volatility and high trading volume.
326  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please stop asking for "legal tender status" on: February 09, 2024, 12:49:25 PM
Legal tender status doesn't mean forcing everyone to accept Bitcoin. It simply means that the government recognizes it as a valid form of payment for debts. If you think about it, debate around legal tender status often revolves around issues of regulation, acceptance and potential government control. While Bitcoin is legal in many places, discussions about its legal tender status involve complex considerations about its role Smiley
Legal and legal tender are different. With legal tender status, citizens in that nation can not refuse to receive bitcoin as payment from their customers. With legal status, they are free to refuse bitcoin payments.

With this legal tender status in El Salvador, a first nation ever make Bitcoin legal tender, people were hyped a lot in the past bull run. They did not actually understand what legal tender status means.

So far there are only two nations with Bitcoin-legal-tender status but they are not big nations. [1]

If we follow the standards, there will be 3 years of rising prices, we have already passed 1.. 2023... so we still have 2 years to take advantage of the price appreciation. I'm going to think about selling some when I get to the $100,000 region.

Enjoy the bull run, don't leave before the party ends
2023 belong to 2020 - 2024 market cycle and 2023 till Q1 2024 is warm up time for a big bull run in 2024 after halving in April.

After a Bitcoin halving, Bitcoin usually has one year and a half for bull run, the rest time of 4 year cycle is for bear market and rally, warm up before another bull run in 2028.

I believe in 2024 and 2025 bull run, people will expect too much on impacts of Bitcoin Spot ETFs but I am realistic and don't believe Bitcoin Spot ETFs will make new history for Bitcoin such as breaking its 4-year cycle.

Yes, there are still many active users due to the faucet feature. Especially in countries where the local currencies are severely undervalued and inflation is out of control. The official freebitco.in's thread in micro earnings sub-section on this forum is still active, and from times to times we can see some newbies sharing their big wins from faucet there.
I don't think so because faucet value is too small to make users to become active. They are active because they are ready to bet with their money, not only or mainly from faucet claim.

Claiming faucet and bet for fun is one of bet actions on Freebitco.in but I don't believe all gamblers join freebitco.in to bet for fun. Basically they bet to have both, fun and get rich or just to get rich. People who want to get rich more likely bet with their pocket money rather than from faucet. They can get big win from tiny claimed faucet coin but they won't get rich with it.

I do not think so. Roma did perform well while coached by De Rossi. But that's because they were playing against a mediocre team. The match against Inter Milan is something different and will be a challenge for De Rossi. I'm sure Inter Milan will win that game and Roma is not a serious obstacle. But I will see whether they can provide a tight game and can end up with a close score or not. Because it would be a miracle if Rome was able to win. But at least they can show positive changes after Mourinho was fired.
Roma played more aggressively in attacking than with Mourinho and they scored more goals recent matches. It is true that they only met against weak teams in last three matches in Serie A and people have solid reasons to doubt that Roma won those matches because their opponents are weak. They are right but they can not deny that Roma had to work hard to win those matches. Opponents even they are weak, are not ready to give up and let Roma to collect three points without efforts.

Roma and De Rossi need to show good performances against big opponents to prove their strength and soon they will have that chance. Meeting Inter Milan will be a big test for De Rossi and Roma, we will have better assessment on De Rossi management capability and Roma strength after this match.

If you already saw that Bitcoin has up and down, gives you and other people loss and profit, with trading, is it enough evidence for you to avoid trading?

Trading is risky and your words show that you knew about risk.

Nope, inflation doesn't suppress the prices of risk assets. The attempts to fight inflation(interest rate hikes) are what suppresses the prices of risk assets. Inflation means having excessive amounts of fiat money in circulation, which causes the prices of everything to go up. Certain
assets like Gold, Real Estate and probably Bitcoin are being viewed as a "inflation-protection" assets, because they preserve their value in times of inflation. This means that their value/price does up with the same ratio as the level of inflation. In the short term, the Bitcoin price determined by the demand for Bitcoins, not by the overall inflation levels.
Money flow is key for growth of any market and we witnessed its importance during Covid-19 pandemic. It was expected to cause serious problems on global markets but because of massive QEs from FED and many central banks, massive money flows created and all markets skyrocketed months after appearance of pandemic. It went oppositely to all early anticipation but it can be explained by money flow.

Inflation was created during pandemic but it helped to increase money flow in all markets. People felt more easily and comfortably to spend their money, they invested and contributed to make many markets soared in two years.

Madrid is a very strong  team, with a lot of stars  and talented players in their squad. However,  this is not the only reason  why Madrid will win. Girona is performing well this season. And in several matches Girona has shown surprise. Girona  also blew away teams like Barcelona. However,  Girona lost the previous match  against Madrid 3-0. They don't want to make the same mistake again. Girona will play for victory in the next match against Madrid. I think the match will be a draw. I will be happy if the match is a draw. Because if Madrid wins, we will only see the dominance of Madrid in this year's La Liga, and Madrid will win the title. But if Madrid fail to win the match, the title battle between Girona and Madrid will continue.
Real Madrid is a biggest club in Spain and Europe as they won most La Liga titles and most Champions League titles. They are strong in this season and with more experience than Girona which are an underdog, Real Madrid logically are considered as a stronger team in their coming match. It makes sense to predict the winner will be Real Madrid but let's don't forget that Girona even won over Barcelona at Camp Nou.

They will move to Bernabeu with belief that they can do the same at Real Madrid's home stadium. Even if they lose at Bernabeu, it won't be the end of their magical season.

In fact, Arsenal's playing technique is better than Liverpool's, because I saw that in this match it was clear that Arsenal were dominating the game and the attacks on Liverpool's back line were very fast. In the end, Arsenal was able to win this match with a final score of 3-1. In my opinion, this victory proves that Arsenal will rise from the downturn they faced at that time. Certainly Arsenal will be better prepared to really compete with Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League this season, because their points tally is not far apart in the standings this season.
In a single match, Arsenal played better than Liverpool but in a long season, it's too soon to conclude what team are better. So far, Liverpool are better than Arsenal but not big different and at the end of season, it can be changed and Arsenal can end this season at a higher position than Liverpool.

With this winning, Arsenal returned to the title race but they are still under Liverpool and Manchester City so that they still need to try a lot to surpass both Manchester City and Liverpool. It is huge task for Arsenal especially beating Manchester City is not easy even Arsenal already learned something from their failure in the last season.

De Bruyne is one such player who can have an impact on Manchester City's overall performance. Players are more confident when he is in the squad. De Bruyne is mainly a midfielder but has the ability to score goals. That's why Manchester City's midfield and attack become stronger when De Bruyne is in the squad.

Haaland and De Bruyne return to the squad after long-term injuries. If these two players perform well, it will be challenging for any big team to stop Manchester City. It is expected that in the upcoming matches we will see a more organized and strong performance from Manchester City.
Haaland is a striker but he changed and upgraded himself under Pep management. He now can contribute more for his club rather than only contribution in goals. De Bruyne can do more, both goals and assists, key passes but he is not able to score many goals like Haaland.

Both players only returned from their injuries especially De Bruyne and they need more time to reclaim their best performances. Give them time, with their levels, they will not make us disappointed.

Haaland and De Bruyne returned to the team but they could only manage assists yesterday, and the star of the evening was Foden, who scored a hat-trick. This is how City gradually got close to Liverpool and with a game in hand they can soon lead the Premier League. And someone here wrote that City is in decline and it will be difficult for them to compete with Liverpool. In fact, all the struggle is still ahead, but City are really in great shape.
Foden is one of biggest surprise in Premier League as only some years ago, he fell behind Jadon Sancho but after the transfer of Sancho from Dortmund to Manchester United, things changed. Two talented players have big drifts in their career, Sancho is down and Foden is up. Foden has many good skills, speed, dribbling, passing and can finishing very well too. Under Pep's management, Foden was enlightened and his career changed a lot.

You always hear the pundits saying that the rise of inflation suppresses the price of risk assets such as stocks and bitcoin, as interest rates are pushed up in an attempt to control inflation.
FED, central banks create inflation when they need to print money to have money flow in economy. Then they 'find' solutions to control inflation, it's a joke.

Quote
But if bitcoin is a hedge against inflation then shouldn't the bitcoin price rise when inflation goes up instead of going down?
I'm guessing the answer would be that inflation causes bitcoin price to go down in the short term, but in the long term causes it to go up? If so then why?
Bitcoin is inflationary too, you must know this fact first. It is not deflationary like many people believe it is.

Bitcoin will become deflationary after 2140 when all 21 million bitcoins in total supply will be mined all by miners and available in circulation. There are some contributors for its deflationary like people lost their bitcoins like losing private keys, can not spend because of dust UTXOs, lost to scam exchanges and sent to wrong addresses ...

Price goes up because value of Bitcoin goes up with time, with more adoption, more use cases, more utility, more legality.

Cold wallets are safer than hot wallets. With hardware wallets, you have cold wallets.

But you must by new hardware wallet from official stores and avoid to buy used hardware wallets from sub-market, with discounts because you will take risk of backdoors from sellers.

With software wallets, you can set up multisig wallets, 2FA wallets to increase security and it's hard to say what is best as it depends on your budget too. If you have like thousands of dollar or $100,000, buying a hardware wallet is not costly with you, so why not?

The power of manchester city is back again. De bruyne has always become the best player in manchester city. His pass was really accurate and i like this guy is always helping his teammates to score.
They have two best attacking players back, De Bruyne and Haaland. They can combine with each other very well with assists and goals to destroy their opponents. They will need some matches to warm up after injuries especially De Bruyne but I believe Pep will choose right time to use De Bruyne when he needs a super creative and skillful midfielder to unlock the match with only one key pass.

No, Guardiola motivation is not to match the points obtained by Liverpool, he wants more than that for his team. The victory that Manchester City has just achieved against Brentford has made the gap with Liverpool even closer, Pep Guardiola has a great opportunity to take his team beyond the points that Liverpool have collected because they still have one game remaining.
Manchester City have enough experience to race with other clubs in a long season as they have many players to rotate. Even one or two players get injuries will not big challenge for them to maintain their good performances. They will be affected but with less severity than other clubs that have less players to rotate.

Now with one extra match and 2 points less than Liverpool, Manchester City can take over the first position from Liverpool and it will create more pressure on Liverpool and Arsenal because in last six seasons, if Manchester City holds the first position in last months, they rarely lost it to competitors. They won five Premier League titles in last six seasons by speeding up in decisive months of season.
