I think when it comes to newcomer altcoins, tokenomics is very important. There are some inflationary altcoins out there, especially like defi coins. In normal situation noone would be interested to buy them because noone wants another currency to gradually lose its price. But yet features of defi coins made them popular and uniswap & pancakeswap are still popular with high cap. Developers should definitely be cautious, and make their token more desirable to buy/use.
either New or old altcoins still needs tokenomics to be understand  because this will tell how good the projection of the said coin, as we remembered how many failure from our old investments that nowadays we must understand this to happen.
but like what said? the importance of understanding all the area in where we are investing is very important all the time .
Understanding the tokenomics is also very important, if it is old and have a bit weaker tokenomics that is understandable because back when it first came out the papers were not that well and this was one of the best to do it, whereas nowadays there are better tokenomics and yet still could fail. Imagine checking bitcoins paper and thinking if that is good or not, even scam projects have better papers these days so you have to know exactly when a project was created.

I think this matters more on the new ones because of this, because no matter how great you think something could be, new ones will always carry bigger risk of becoming bad or turning out to be a scam for sure.

Ibrahim Konate is an important player and a key member of Klopp's defensive line despite not starting many games for Liverpool but he has done so well as a backup centre back been played in big games for Liverpool, I doubt Liverpool will be open to selling him to Real Madrid, he has barely played complete two seasons for Liverpool. If Liverpool sell Konate that only means they will have to sign a new centre back so I doubt Liverpool will sell Konate atleast not in this window.
I think Liverpool wouldn't be too against selling Konate as long as the price is right. If Real offers something decent then they could end up working towards making this happen, and I feel like that would be a good thing for both teams.

Real doesn't really lack a defender, rudiger plus militao is a good defensive line but Konate would make it a bit stronger, would probably be bench again there but would give them a chance to rest players more often. Liverpool would get a lot of money for their bench player and could end up buying a good left wing as well to help them. All in all it would be good for both teams, a win-win type of situation without a doubt.
1483  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Memecoin and utility - impossible or next stage of crypto development on: January 04, 2023, 09:16:34 PM
There's something which i do tells most of my friends who are lovers of memecoins, first they should target it the right time to invest, secondly always being active with their media channels and handle to be self informed about their next plan otherwise they would be likely left alone with just an empty token and from my understand i have never seen any memecoin that has ran for long rather than dogecoin before its final decrease. One major thing i really dislike about memes is that they often end with hype most likely pumped and dump.
That is exactly what they are though, they are pump and dump tokens and they are not there to make any money for anyone outside of the project creators. If you think that people could invest into memecoins and make a profit then you should invest into them right now because they are very low and with crypto market going up eventually they should make you more profit than bitcoin considering they are low cap and can easily and rapidly go up.

However, I won't do that because I do not think they are good, not even doge to be fair and certainly not the others. They are all terrible and I am not expecting them to be any good in any soon situation at all.

Personally, I do not think that the players should be held accountable for taking some performance, enhancing materials, just because they dropped an insane performance in a match. I am also positive that he did not take anything like that.

I know for a lot of people, it is going to be hard to believe that he was actually “in the zone“. But that can happen and that has happened previously. However, I also think that the authority is very much in their right to check if he is actually taking any substance or not. If the player is not taking anything, which I believe he did not, everything should be fine.
I think it is definitely possible for players to have good games and this was one of them, plus he didn't had this much points for the first three quarters neither, it didn't look like a 71 point game at all, it was like a 40+ even maybe 50 point game at best which does happen time to time, we have seen it done by Luka so many times in a row during December for example.

The difference was that he had a good game like that, but then it also went to OT and he scored a bunch of points there too. Other team gave up eventually, and his team got him the ball and he was on fire so he put them in. That's the greatest thing and it does help him a lot too.
1485  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 03, 2023, 08:34:24 PM
I think Jurgen needs to be replaced. Honestly, there's been nothing interesting about the Liverpool games anymore and take last night's game for instance. They played like a start-up club and at some point it got boring to watch. Imagine Ibrahima Konate scoring an own goal. More like opening the ground for more flops.

 If more performance like this repeats itself, they'd sure be dropped like a hot sack of potatoes. But this season like I said earlier is still fresh and full of surprises. Maybe something can be done.
I'm sure Klopp will leave at some point and maybe go to Real ? Because I don't think Ancelotti will remain for a long time as he always said Real is his last coaching team. Livepool is having an awful season not just by Klopp fault but the transfers the club made , are simply not paying off for now and more than this , Liverpool is in a very dangerous position to miss European spots.
It would be a perfect move for Klopp but he is not looking great at Liverpool right now, how could he go to real? Real will want a coach that would be perfect for them and has a great track record, even though Klopp looks like he has done amazingly so far, this year he started to suck and he is not as good, which means that Real would want someone currently trending and good, not someone who started to play worse.

I am not sure who that would be, we do not have too much managers making headlines anymore to be fair, I am not seeing some new star manager being born or anything. Zidane is still a great choice if they can somehow convince him, dude doesn't want to but when he does, he wins.
1486  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will it be profitable for the business? on: January 03, 2023, 02:46:41 PM
Suppose I am doing business through an online Facebook page and website and want to accept Bitcoin. But now if I look at cryptocurrencies it comes with high volatility, and I have doubts whether accepting Bitcoin will be profitable for my business.
(....)
What if you just have multiple payment options or methods?
So your customer will always have their option on how they will pay you? There are lot of payment processor right now that can offer multiple mode of payments like in different way, like debit cards, credit cards, digital wallets, etc., and you can just add the option for paying Bitcoin.
Bitcoin could also technically turn into stablecoins automatically with many payment processors which means that you do not have to worry about the volatility as well. They could pay you with bitcoin if you want to include crypto users, but the moment they do, your money will turn into USDT which could be turned into USD into your bank account. That is how many people do it, so that they do not have to face the troubles of bitcoin or crypto volatility.

I believe that it's by far the best method for a person in business, because it allows them to know their finances, anyone with dubious finances would fail in the business world and won't grow.
1487  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chasing the big multipliers in soccer on: January 02, 2023, 07:42:22 PM
A lot of times I have done parlays in the past, and it fail by a game that was supposed to be an easy win, that's why I'm betting this way today. So, what do you think, will I lose the 6 bets?
It is good to go for single games instead of accumulating bet, that is one if the right thing to do while gambling because one game can cause an accumulated bet to be lost. But the mistake I see is that you are going for underdog, because they are having more odds and you think they can win, or draw. So far matches can be won, drawn or lost, that creates more ways to lose. You selected some to draw where it is possible that the underdog might lose or win. I will advice you to just go for clubs you think that would win if a strong club is playing with an underdog. Never take gambling that serious.
There is also a chance that you could end up with like 3.20 odds for a team and get like 5 of them on the same parlay and you will end up with gambling a good amount and winning it. I am not saying 5 underdogs will win at the same time, but it is also not impossible and some people do it.

Or you could pick the favourites but they are favourites for a small margin, like you know those games when one team gets 2.00 and the other gets 2.80, it is not a by far thing but close enough and you pick the 2.00 one and then play 10 of them or something. These are all very very low chance but that is why they pay a huge amount and they are not commonly won, but when you win it's all worth it.
1488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 02, 2023, 06:22:23 PM
The Champion league fixtures between Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund are scheduled to take place on 15th February 2023, and by then Borussia Dortmund may have given out their supper star midfielder; Jude Bellingham. If this happens, it will make an easier game for Porter's side.
It won't happen. Big clubs don't want to sell their star players in winter transfer and don't want to buy star players with too expensive cost in winter.

Dortmund are not ready to sell Jude in January and big clubs like Chelsea have more hesitation and are not ready to approve big transfer budget for big transfer deals in January. History has its voice that Winter transfers usually bring bad results.
It is obvious that Chelsea is definitely better, but that doesn't mean that Chelsea will be the winner, they are not too far apart enough to say that there will be a clear winner. I believe that in a good day Dortmund could play better, so the winner will be decided on how they will play. Chelsea could play worse than they usually play and lose this game as well, or Dortmund could play better than usual and win this one.

There is also two games which means that even in one game if things go right, in another it could go wrong and suddenly you could lose as well. Nobody is saying Dortmund is the favourites, but it is not a huge difference between the clubs neither.
1489  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price, January. $20000 or above possible? on: January 01, 2023, 07:03:10 PM
Will bitcoin price increase in January?
Is bitcoin getting back to $20000 in January or not?
Yes, definitely. I believe that we can see up to $30k easily in this January. Probably these may start only by the 3rd week of January as sideways market does not seem to end up that quickly. So, a right prediction for this January could be anything between $20k to $30k. First we need to break the bigger psychological resistance around $19.5k to $19.8k levels and if that becomes achieved then we can easily run up to $30k levels in one week of time period.

2023 is going to be a better year for bitcoiners but not for traders in my opinion. Because, traders prefer one direction but the overall market sentiment is going to be range-bounded in 2023 which might lead to unpleasant times for bitcoin traders.
1490  Economy / Speculation / Re: Michael Saylor and Bitcoin or Michael Saylor and altcoin? on: January 01, 2023, 05:38:30 PM
In any case, the argument made is maybe Michael Saylor would have made a better investment if he invested in altcoins, Defi or NFT instead of bitcoin. It appears this article shows that the argument might be correct.
Better investments in terms of BTC value? Because, only ETH/BTC pair is trading stable through out 2022 like around the value of 0.07BTC with low at 0.048BTC whereas ETH/USDT pair is trading exact similar to BTC/USDT like in Jan 2021 it was around $900 and hit ATH around $4800 in Nov 2021 and trading around $1200 right now.

If you calculate growth rate in USD in 2021, there are many altcoins had performed well in 2021 like dogecoins which got low around 30 satoshi in the beginning of 2021 (or by the end of 2020) and peaked up to 1300+ satoshi in 2021 (and trading around 400 satoshi right now).

If they have opted for altcoins then probably they might not have stopped only with ETH which again might have got them mixed results and then overall performance might have dragged down than bitcoin investment.
1491  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Goldman Sachs is looking to buy crypto, why? on: January 01, 2023, 04:23:22 PM
Following the collapse of the FTX, which impacted valuations and reduced investor interest, Goldman Sachs aims to invest or spend tens of millions of dollars buying crypto companies. Which indicates to me that they clearly see some benefits of blockchain if it's under their control.

Why would one of the biggest investment banks in the world want to buy FTX's scraps?
Honestly, this must be an all new approach as far as I am concerned. After a big collapse, most whales and institutes look for only cheaper cryptocurrencies but this is first time I heard about the demand for the collapsed firm.

What are the possibilities to acquire a bankrupted firm? By googling I learned these:
1. Acquiring a firm for undervalue (not just for better price or cheaper price but far-best-price).
2. Merging a bankrupted firm is easier and got tax benefits in some countries.

Still, not sure about the exact case of Goldman Sachs and FTX but we can assume that Goldman Sachs is planning something big in crypto world by believing into the future of cryptocurrencies.
1492  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How Are You Preparing For 2023? on: January 01, 2023, 03:16:33 PM
If there is no new scamming news in the new year then the crypto will gradually improve its status. But i will not be worried even where negative news may come because i know crypto is bearish for a long time and will be bullish again that can be happen form this year. Since crypto is in worse position last year, 2023 is more likely to be good.
Yeah, both bearish and bullish trends got its own ending which means both of these trends cannot last for pro long duration hence, this is must be the expected time to experience the reversal. At the same time, we may see continuation of bear even in 2023 but I am sure it may be only up to mid of this month.

No one could do anything on negative news; like scams are happening all the times but when that happens in bearish year, we may see more downfall compared to same kind of news causing lesser damage in bullish year. So, we cannot do about any new negative news but when trend changes, impact also varies.
1493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling For Fun - What Does This Mean To You? on: December 31, 2022, 08:50:43 PM
So over to you now, what does gambling for fun mean to you as a gambler,? As I know that this phrase might mean different things for different people, would like to know what your understanding is on this.
We understand that someone gambling has its own pleasure, the phase of someone's gambling pleasure is different.

I personally spend time in gambling where if I feel happy in betting, for example: sports betting, Plinko and some interesting slots like Blockchain Megaways and others, I spend a lot in the game, The bottom line: I have my own pleasure to do it. The matter of defeat is not a detrimental element and victory is also not a pride for me, but I enjoy the game, sometimes I forget that it's already morning, when I bet, I forget about life's problems, my mind is a little more relaxed and I enjoy gambling.
I think there are some people out there who try to find a way to make profit from gambling and they are the ones who have some trouble. Lets be real and realize that we are talking about something that is very rare and not that common when we are talking about people who have no idea what they are doing.

There is no way of making money from gambling if we are not talking about the house edge, because house edge is the thing that makes sure that you are going to end up losing money and that's not really a good thing, it's really a difficult thing and I personally do not believe that it would be a good solution to your money problems, in fact would be adding to your money problems.
1494  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading and investing,and still very broke.why?Is it spiritual? on: December 31, 2022, 08:02:04 PM
1 - trade: when people enter the market to trade they still don't have much knowledge of the market and don't have practice in day trading and as a result people lose money and get frustrated, but we have to see that in the market even the people who consider themselves gurus are not living on day trade, they took so much damage that they are creating youtube channels to teach other people how to day trade, but these gurus are making money with youtube channels and with books that they keep writing

2 - investment in cryptocurrencies: many people think that it is only to buy today and days later to sell that they will already be with high profits and other people enter the market with the greed of 10X profit but the point is that the market is uncertain, nothing guarantees that will the price go up a lot and how long will it take to go up a lot and as a consequence even when people buy and do hodl they mentally get tired and sell because they have lost hope that the price will go up a lot
I still think that investing is a lot better and it would be impossible to be broke if you did not invested 10 bucks. I mean if you invest a decent amount and wait like lets say 10 years then you will definitely get richer. This is not true if you invest into horrible altcoins, but if you invest into bitcoin or ethereum and keep it there for that long like a decade then you are going to end up with a huge profit.

This is definitely a tough thing because many people can't wait that long, but if you could then it would definitely be something awesome without a doubt. I mean life is not that easy and we are going to end up with a lot of hardship, it's better to get finance out of the way at least.
1495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 31, 2022, 07:21:02 PM
We have a game that may change somewhat although I don't believe at all that something will change in this league,but the game of Lens vs Paris if Lens wins,it can give us a false hope that maybe the Ligue 1 is still open and that Paris is not dominating as long as they have done in the previous seasons.I would love for Lens to win but seeing that they play more in a defensive way,they have conceded the less goals compared to most teams of the Ligue 1 makes me think that they will have difficulty winning against Paris at this direct clash.
Counter attacking towards a team that is that fast would not be a good solution. That is what good about PSG as well, they could attack you all game and if you get the ball and go on a super fast counter attack, they will be right there with you because they have super fast defenders.

From hakimi to marquinhious to kimpenbe they are all super fast players and will be right there with you. That is why it's not easy to score against PSG, teams still do it but when it's 4-0 then scoring and making it 4-1 is not really a neat thing, it's something PSG just didn't care about, it's not that easy to get the first goal of the game against them at all and Lens is not the team to do that if you ask me.
1496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Responsible gambling on: December 31, 2022, 05:16:32 PM
I will say that a responsible gambling start with our kind of mindset approach to gambling, we all have different opinions and how we take gambling, but not until that mind is set right we may only see gambling as a burden or a means to fraud us especially we we are loosing, we must be able to time ourselves, caution our bets, stake appropriately, avoid taking too much risk to gamble and enjoy the beauty in gambling base upon our own level and standard and we must not do copycat because others are into it therefore we must also participate in whatsoever thing they gambles at.
If there's an option like this on the site you are playing, then you can choose to maximize that option or just focus on your own strategy.
Being responsible in gambling is a must, you should not ignore this or else you will suffer from a big stress in gambling because of losing too much money. I personally have my own ways to be more responsible, just like playing on a budget and not all the time, also I can live without gambling so technically I'm still a responsible gambler and fortunately not addicted in gambling.
The problem with getting yourself banned from a casino so that you don't play here is... you could just go to another casino. It's not a solution to get yourself banned from one place, or even a dozen place because if you want to gamble then there are hundreds of websites out there and new ones come out all the time, you can't get yourself banned from all of them, eventually there will be a new one.

However, the best thing to do would be making sure that you are not gambling irresponsibly yourself because if you can do that then you would be fine. I am in charge of my gambling and my emotions are not, which means that I can stop whenever I want and that is the best method.

The new owners of Newcastle are ambitious and really focused on improving the squad to a certain standard. Manchester City started the same way and see how far they have come. Nothing is impossible the Newcastle side going on like this could be the next big team in the Premier league and will compete against to top 6 already for trophies next season. Their consistency will determine if they will be able to achieve champions league spot for next season.
Well they need to improve the understanding of Arabians from the sportswashing and that's why. Many Newcastle fans accepted them with open arms because it meant success and Newcastle has never been as good as they have been right now, which is an insane situation because the same owners were considered to be sanctioned just a few years ago because of killing of a journalist.

Hence, football definitely clears all the troubles, just look at how thousands died in Qatar and people talked about it and yet everyone in the world and their grandmother still watched the finals one way or another. I hope it does do better in the long run and can find rich but normal owners.
1498  Other / Archival / Re: 2022 was the second worst year for Bitcoin on: December 30, 2022, 08:56:36 PM
2018 is considered the worst year as it may be the first shock to many people who are new to the market, but compared to this year.
This year is really the worst year for bitcoin because it has never experienced difficulties such as war, economic crisis as well as interest rate pressure. It has to be said that this has been a challenging year as well as a test for bitcoin, and the fact that bitcoin ended the year at $16k isn't too bad.

I agree with OgNasty, in the future, we will have more difficulty and unpredictability than years ago, when CBDC and regulation were affecting the market and bitcoin.
I agree that this year has been one of the worst years economically, not just crypto neither because the whole world has been terrible economically. I had the worst year of my life economically in 2022 and I do not think that it has anything to do with crypto.

I made the most amount of money I have ever made, I made way more than I normally make and even with that I am still in debt, thankfully not a lot but that's thanks to me making a lot of money, whereas many people couldn't and they are living a terrible life right now. I am guessing that it's going to be a terrible year overall and we are going to end up with even worse situation in 2023 if governments do not fix the problem.
1499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: December 30, 2022, 07:25:38 PM
But I'm pretty sure that Newcastle will win easily enough against Leeds later. and I'm pretty sure of Newcastle's consistency at the moment in every game they've faced. 6 consecutive wins is not luck for Newcastle. But that is proof that they can always play with maximum performance. and the key to Newcastle's success is because the Newcastle midfield players have really always impressed me. especially Miguel Almiron. and another important point over Newcastle's advantage is because they will host the match later, namely at St James park Stadium.
Newcastle this season looks better. Last season they finished 11th in the standings. but now they started the season very well. The competition isn't over yet but to finish in the top 5 this season, I'm sure Newcastle can do it.
the game against Leeds, of course, it's 3 points for Newcastle that will bring them to compete with City. with the current situation in the Premier League, Arsenal will not be calm with the current goal difference.
It is about the fact that they have spent 100+ million on each of those seasons. Last year during the January transfer window right after the takeover because they have so much money and wanted to stay in the league, they were at the bottom of the table and after the takeover bought some players and managed to get to 11th before the season was over, which is a big achievement to go from bottom to 11th in half a season.

This year they spent a lot again and now working towards being in the top 4 and go to UCL which I am sure will happen. The current mode of football is spending money, if you give me 200 million dollars I can build a team that can be in top 4 as well.
1500  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 50% Down Move Incoming? on: December 30, 2022, 07:43:49 AM
I guess it would be easier that any big negative news is capable of dragging bitcoin market up to 50% regardless of beginning or end of bearish trend.
I do not think so. For 68k to 34k, bitcoin took more than 50 days and for 34k to 17k, it again took more than 5 months of time. But, at the times of bottom, another 50% fall may happen in one or two days of time itself. Yet, not all the news are capable of taking down to 50% fall; so do not need to be worried as market sentiment is changing to positive on the verge of new year.

Like other people here, I am also confident about bouncing back of bitcoin market from here after instead of thinking about another round of bearish trend any more. Let's prepare for bullish trend till end of 2025.
