Soon we are going to see another surprise in the Saudi League and this time it's about the superstar player of Manchester City, Kevin De Bruyne. Kevin De Bruyne even had an offer from Al Nassr in 2023 and they were interested in hearing this player but they couldn't do that. Now it seems PIF wants to try their chance for another time for hiring this player. He was mostly away from the first squad in the last games after he got injured in the game against Burnley.  Kevin got his highest by winning Champions League in the last season and I really think that he does not have chance to win Ballon d'Or at this age with competition from Mbappe and Haaland. His chance to win titles with Belgium national team is small and almost impossible. With more injuries and chance to be qualified for Manchester City first squad in all matches becomes smaller and smaller, it's time for Kevin to make decision. PIF even take big risk by hiring the player and they might face with another costly failed transfer like Neymar. Both players have bad injury records and they are no longer at most energetic ages in player career. Kevin, in addition, just got a most serious injury in his career, that is a big risk in this transfer for PIF. It will be more wisely if they use that fund to bring Mohamed Salah to Saudi Professional League. |

Like many pieces of advice I give to those new to this market, if you want a lasting profit, invest in knowledge of the field you want to research first. And in a field that includes finance and technology, ask yourself how do you define investing
With Bitcoin market, investors will have to learn about Fundamentals, Technical Trading and they have to learn more than that. How to store their bitcoin. If they store their bitcoins in accounts on centralized exchanges, I wish them best and hope they won't lose their coins on CEX. Reminder: do not keep your money in online accountsWhen CEX has a bankruptcy, if they make compensation, they will pay you in fiat currency and don't care about how much does Bitcoin cost at the time they bankrupted and at the time they pay you in compensation. Mt.Gox, FTX filed documents to pay their users with very low price of Bitcoin years ago and in 2022. Imagine you store 1 bitcoin on FTX in 2022, and now if they compensate you, you will receive like 1/3 bitcoin because Bitcoin has good rally from its bottom in 2022. Painful. |

To be fair though, what he said wasn't necessarily even that bullish, just on the scale of 6/10 in terms of bullishness.
Pretty scary how close the timing was with the recent cascading liquidation event though, that was presumably started by the MatrixPort article.
High probability of Bitcoin Spot ETF approval is like 90% just rumor. Possible rejection of Bitcoin Spot ETF applications from MatrixPort article is only rumor. People love rumor but they forget that "Buy the rumor, sell the news". A magic principle for them in Bitcoin market is, ignore news, buy and hold your bitcoin in your wallet. Time will help you get profit when you are not affected by rumor, news. |

1. Miners have years to plan for the halving, which means they are given the chance to readjust themselves to see if they can continue the mining task. Certainly, profits might not be guaranteed, especially when working as a solo miner.
Miners have to build up their strategy because mining is like an investment but requires very long time to get break-even. If they take risk too much, don't have good strategy, they can have bankruptcy. We usually think Bitcoin miners easily get profit but it is not like this. It is a risky investment for newbies and with each halving, we will have many new miners join this mining industry. New miners are most vulnerable with market shocks, corrections because their budgets likely are not too deep and they over take leverages, risks. Experienced miners are like senior investors, they know what to do in bull and bear market and how they can reserver their block rewards for halving and bull run. |

Despite the noise and the FOMO and the hype, I think it's 50:50. It could be a yes or a no. Although I want the SEC's decision to be positive and see how the market reacts, that it would once again reject the applications is a probability. The SEC might reject the applications for now pending further preparations and polishing of policies and safeguards which pave the way for an eventual approval. A spot Bitcoin ETF in the US is still a matter of when, of course, but the SEC might simply say it's still premature for now. There's much more cleaning to be done.
I am not a lawyer and don't know about laws in the USA. especially for Bitcoin Spot ETF and how long SEC. can delay it. It seem they are going to a deadline to announce their decision, Yes or No. However, is there any chance for SEC. to postpone it again with somewhat reason they can use? I don't know, again about laws but if SEC. do another postpone, I really think they will delay it after the Bitcoin halving or worse, after the 2024 USA. President Election. If some big changes in SEC. board members after the 2024 President Election, I expect to see Bitcoin Spot ETF approvals after that because it must be 3 yes votes from SEC board members to approve those applications. Now we have 2 - 2, and the decisive vote is on the hands of Gensler, he votes No, very likely. |

Ac Milan? We can all agree that AC Milan will win the game; Cagliari's performance is insufficient to consider them as a threat to Ac Milan. Ac is not playing in the Champions League this season; they were eliminated from the group stage and are now concentrating on the remaining league titles, such as the Italian Cup and the serie A. Given that Ac Milan is currently in third place in the league table, I believe they have a chance to perform well enough to qualify for the Champions League the following season.
It is only a match in Coppa Italia which is not too much important for AC Milan. By their failure in Champions League, AC Milan will have to focus on Serie A and they did not have too good performances that cause them to have an unsure position in Serie A. There are many clubs that compete with AC Milan for a position in top four and AC Milan will have to play rest matches in this season with full focus. If they are careless, risk to be kicked out of top four is not small. The only thing I'm not sure Ac Milan can accomplish is win the serie A league. Ac Milan can't win it because some teams are more concerned with winning the trophy than with winning the league; teams like Inter Milan and Juventus, who are currently leading the league table, want to win the league title this season and have demonstrated through their performance that they can do so.
However, a winning in Coppa Italia is helpful to bring AC Milan back on positive track. It is so good to start a new year with a big winning that brings a lot of hope. I see AC Milan almost have no chance to compete for Scudetto because Inter Milan and Juventus are too strong and have good gaps on the table against AC Milan. |

Time flies! It's (2014) like yesterday that I randomly read about how you could use bitcoin to buy games online and after a little more research I was hooked. A decade later and I'm glad I found out about this fantastic innovation  I am so impressed because you digged a hole and got hooked by it for years. The impression is mainly because you learned about Bitcoin, not only to use it like other Bitcoin users but you actually learned deep enough to become one of Bitcoin experts in Bitcointalk community. I read your posts many times and see they are very knowledgeable, insightful and admire you a lot but I don't have technical background in programming to understand it all. |

So, if you are planning to DCA but consider weekly signature payments to be the source, it will probably take time for you to be able to start. By the time you start, Bitcoin might have already climbed to $100,000. The fastest way to start your DCA is to directly buy those Sats.
Campaign payment is weekly and it will be weeky DCA but campaigns can be stopped by managers and companies. Forum admins can stop the signature campaign industry too. OP must find other ways to work and earn money, buy bitcoin with DCA from his money, salary. Relying on signature campaign payments in Bitcoin talk will not be enough. Reying on the forum as a main source of income is risky too. Welcome message shows theymos is happy if forum can help people to have better lives but he can shut down the business anytime. |

It seems that PSG can't avoid changing coaches because this team continues to target the title every season and if they don't win the title, they will always fire the coach. It's not surprising that we often see PSG changing coaches and the results remain the same, they only win titles in competitions they dominate. If we talk about other more prestigious competitions such as the Champions League, of course the results are still far from expectations and even though they have changed coaches, the results are still the same, they have not achieved anything for the last 10 years.
Mbappe will receive other offers from Real Madrid and PSG will have to struggle to convince the player signing a new contract with them. Because since January 2024, Mbappe is free to discuss with other clubs about his future and he will be a free agent next summer. PSG are confident that they can convince Mbappe again but over a half of season, I did not see Mbappe shown that he is happy in PSG. It will be very big chance for him to move and with unhappy relationship with the club, with his ambition to win Champions League and Ballon d'Or, I see very high probability that he will finalize a deal with Real Madrid this time. Talking about Mourinho, it seems that he is not very interested in coaching a team in Ligue 1 and even though PSG is a very big name, he still chooses other big teams in Europe. Mourinho's integrity to train the team he wants is something he has paid close attention to and not just any club can persuade him.
Mourinho will not want to join PSG if Mbappe is no longer there and if he want to get high salary, he can accept very good offers from Saudi Professional League clubs. In a recent interview, Mourinho said he might stay in Roma after this season and it is not final deal about his future but at least he shows some intention to stay in Rome. Maybe he want to complete his project in Rome with AS Roma. |

Hey everyone, I've been grappling with a question lately and would love to get your thoughts. How much of my monthly income should I realistically invest in Bitcoin, considering the emotional rollercoaster of the crypto market?
I understand the potential gains, but I'm also thinking about the stress of watching the market's frequent ups and downs.
To invest in Bitcoin successfully, you must understand both sides of it: chance to gain profit and risk to get loss. So risk and profit comes together, you have to manage your capital cleverly enough to make sure if you get loss, your life won't be broken by your investment in Bitcoin. You must invest what you can accept to lose. You should never invest all money you have to avoid broken life. It also helps you to have money for life, emergent situations and you will not have to sell your coins anytime you fall into such situations with empty hands, no cash in hands. |

M. Salah corrected his mistake by scoring 2 goals in this match. I think Salah is in full confidence in this match. But Newcastle in the first half also seemed to make things a little difficult for the home team. But still Liverpool playing at home always brings high confidence to the Liverpool players thanks to the support of the audience in the stadium.
Salah scored many goals for Liverpool and he helped them to get many points, saved them many times. In this match, he opened it for Liverpool too but I think Salah does not have good skills for penalty shots. His style is like just make a shot as most powerful and accurate as he can, the rest will belong to opponent goalkeeper. He does not have good skills to trick opponent goalkeepers at the penalty spot. Seeing the results of this match is actually enough to make me have a stronger feeling that Liverpool can really win the title this season.
This week Liverpool will face Arsenal in the FA Cup. Arsenal will be the host and this match will definitely be quite tough. And this match will also be an important test to test the true performance of Arsenal and Liverpool itself.
FA Cup is not important with Liverpool because they still have Premier League and Europa League to fight. I am sure that Klopp learned a lot from two seasons ago, when Liverpool aimed at many titles, managed to have chances winning them all but at the end, they failed. One season after that, their players began very poorly and many players got injuries, which cost them a position beyond top four in the last season. I believe Klopp will not repeat that mistakes with overwhelming ambitious targets in this season and they might sacrifice FA Cup to focus on Premier League and Europa League. |

FUNToken introduced a new roadmap
Stages of the new roadmap:
FUN Token Seed Fund Launch
Integration with GameFi, AI, and Metaverse
Consolidation of FUN and XFUN Tokens
FUN ID Creation
Introduction of FUN NFTs
Development of a Proprietary API
Launching a Turnkey Decentralized Gaming Solution
Establishing a FUN DAO
I know the idea is not new in cryptocurrency but this token can gain success if the team are strong to support it. FUN token definitely is supported by a strong team and big platform so that it has big advantage than other tokens which are built by smaller team and even incapable of execute their roadmaps. Use cases and utility will help the token to gain and increase its value and my hope increases a lot by reading the roadmap. I know no guarantee to see all of those bullet points in the roadmap will be deployed as roadmap basically can be changed with time and dramatic shift in technology. |

I'm looking for a source to see stats for Cardano circulating supply chart since inception.
Is there another free source? I'm only looking for yearly change in supply. do not need every month data.
Use Messario.io that is one of biggest websites in cryptocurrency market but people usually use Coinmarketcap and Coingecko, then forget Messari.io. They have basics to advance mode and with many filters for you. With your question, this one is enough. https://messari.io/project/cardano/charts/supply |

I want to get the opinion how casino deal with this kind of situation. If you caught up on this messed up situation, how can you possibly defend yourself to online casino operators?
I believe prevention is better than cure and better than defending yourself to online casino operators. I read some scam accusations against casinos about multi accounts. At the end of investigations and public information shared to community, casinos show that those cheaters use same IP addresses but they also provide more than that. Betting patterns of cheaters are similar and some other similar betting behaviors are enough for casinos to come to conclusions of cheating their platforms, bonus programs. If you just use a public Wifi, you will probably have only one issue, same IP address with other gamblers. But I am really sure you will not want to have problems so don't use Public Wifi will be better. |

It's all about trial and error. If they really want to replace the US dollar, they will have to come up with something new and they will have to use it and find out what's lacking in that. They can achieve success after many trials and fixing the errors. It's not going to be a easy journey. But if they really want, they can be successful.
Don't get me wrong, the US dollar is still dominating the whole world. But power speaks for itself. BRICS is recruiting more countries. If they all come together to create a new power, I think they can success. But that's still a big if.
The US. dollar has its purchasing power decreases over time. However, is it make this fiat currency worse than other fiat currencies from other central banks?  There is nothing wrong to make trials and errors to dedollarisation because some nations want to build up something which can be tools for them to break the domination of USA. and its fiat currency. Will the succeed or fail, with BRICS is a biggest attempt so far, we will see it in future like next 10 years? I would be willing to speculate that not even in this incoming year the BRICS will issue their currency, they are either trying to recruit more members or they realize their are such a heterogenous group of countries that a common currency would not benefit them as much as people believe.
To succeed, those nations participate in the attempt must have their strong economy. China and Russia are one of countries with big economy sizes but I disagree if saying their economies are sustainable and strong. China is affected by deflation which is worse than inflation and Russia solely relies on their income from oil sales and energy industry. |

A change of manager is a very common thing but it only happens when the former manager is replaced by a better manager. Ancelotti was not thinking of removing him because he is not doing well for Real Madrid, but he wanted to take charge of the Brazilian team, so he wanted to leave the club on his own. Although he wants to leave the responsibility of the club on his own, the club did not want to leave him at the moment because the club may not have found a manager with a good mind like him at the moment and another big thing is that the strategy that Real Madrid is currently playing is happy with the results of that strategy. Since Ancelotti has a good understanding with each player, if the team is to succeed, Ancelotti is the most likely to succeed.
Perez with his two times of working with Carlo Ancelotti, knows well that the coach is very good to maintain stability in the club. He is good at keeping good sentiment and working relationship between the coach and many star players who usually have very high ego. The coach is also very good at giving young players some kind of excellent advice and enlighten their career at new positions. He succeed with Andrea Pirlo at AC Milan and it is not the only player who revived their career with Carlo management. Real Madrid currently have many young players and they are going to buy some more youth players, Endrick will join the club soon as his transfer was completed months ago. With this transitional phase in the club, Perez surely saw that there is no other better coach for Real than Carlo. |

That is a tricky question, because I don't think BlackRock knows more than we do, but we all know that the supply of Bitcoin is limited and if someone controls the majority of the market, he will be able to squeeze prices.
About basic and technical things of Bitcoin, Black Rock does not know more than Bitcoiners because Bitcoin blockchain is open source. Everyone can dig into the Bitcoin source code to learn, read Bitcoin wiki as well as many available free educational resources. We can learn those things so do Black Rock. However, Black Rock has very high rate of success with their past Spot ETF applications and I think they likely have very good relationships with governmental regulatory agencies so that they know what we don't know. It is helpful for them to get that nearly perfect successful rate. Exactly, it's base on your financial challenge that will make you to rush and sell off your bitcoin when it's not needful, so I think that we suppose to have a particular period to sell bitcoin, so therefore I blame whosoever that don't know when to sell bitcoin and when not sell bitcoin from my perspective, because is good to know or learn bitcoin trading properly and it's what will enable an investor not to sell when due and when not due, so a someone who uses graph by studying the movement of bitcoin will not be the victim of selling it bitcoin directly when profit will not manifest
During this uncertain period, when there are about 10 more days till the day SEC. have to announce their decisions about all Bitcoin Spot ETF applications, approve them or reject them, it's better to hold our bitcoin tightly. I know that Bitcoin has many reasons to go with corrections after a 2023 crazy year but my belief is after corrections, it will have a bull run. Halving will occur in April and I don't have fear to lose my capital if I hold my coins longer than April 2024. SEC. approve or refuse Bitcoin Spot ETF applications, it is not a big concern with me. Halving is more important and I am waiting for it. |

Another defeat from a weak team and this time I will say that this is a death sentence for Manchester United, they already had very little chance of rising to the top 4, and now after this defeat it seems unrealistic. It is obvious that ten Hag is not capable of changing Manchester United for the better, I thought that we would see new headlines about a new coach for Manchester United after a disastrous performance in the Champions League, but this did not happen, so for this Manchester United need finish the season in mid-table?
I agree with Garry Neville that Manchester United returned to what they are. Here, it's their normal bad quality in this season without ability to maintain their stable performances. After one or some good matches that lit the light of hope for their fans, their players have one or some bad, disappointed matches. It is their normal flow of performances in this season and see farther, it existed in the past season too. It means after one season and a half, Ten Hag did not succeed to improve it for Manchester United. With his failure as a coach, Manchester United are struggling in a highly competitive race with other clubs to get like one or two rest positions in top four. |
