Despite Neymar's absence, Al Hilal's unbeaten streak remains outstanding. It shows you dont necessarily need star power to shine, right? While they've kept winning, Neymar's absence highlights the need for savvy signings. Why not find people that are huge game players as well as famous names? Fit-in players who contribute consistently and may help the Saudi Pro League become more competitive. Al Hilal can set an example by showing that success is developed piece by piece with local and international talent. This could be their chance to start a new league trend by focusing on sustainable success without relying on one or two big stars.
Even Neymar's presence or absence never been having any impact on this team because he was here just for some fans base in South America after Messi refuse to join Saudi League, and they were looking for the top player from this region so Al Hilal already done good work and their performance is surely impressive which helps them for having top spot in this season Metrovic is doing amazing stuff after joining this club which is impressive with most chances we will have them into final of the AFC Champions League and their Saudi League title is also confirmed things can go for the double which will be amazing.

Now most chances we will have some good changes in coming season and surely Al Hilal will be also gone for the another big player now who is going to join them it's not clear but still they will be tried their best for having any top tier player from the UEFA which will increase their fan base as well which is currently most important for them.

With a very big win in a first leg at home, 4 goal difference, Roma will have big chance to proactively play in the second leg in England.

With very little attacking challenge from Brighton in the first leg and with traditional good defensive power of an Italian club, Roma will be able to secure this big advantage and go to quarter finals in Europa League.

They might lose in England but will not lose with big defeat like 0 - 4 or 0 - 5 or any result with 4 goal difference for Brighton. They only need to control Brighton in the first half and avoid to get conceded goals in a first half, then Brighton will feel hopeless and Roma will have an easy second half in that home-away match.
AS Roma is having their best for this season after the exit of the José Mourinho and having De Rosie as new coach against all expectations because mostly were feeling he could be not able to change things in this club but his strategy and aggression is giving new life and now chances are also high for them to ended in top four in Serie A with their win against Brighton at home with big score like 4–0 is surely one of the best most chances now they are having spot into quarterfinal because Brighton is having not quality to score 4 goals against them in second leg at home even they can win but not with this score.

Now here it's time for the Roma to give their best again and also having fair chance with their aggressive strategy because this will be surely helpful for them as if they will go with defensive mindset this could be not helpful in any case.

I personally wrote mine in a piece of paper and then keep it in a safe place. I also mixed those 24 words that only me knows the exact combination. I am actually planning to acquire a gun safe and I'll put it there though not right now but maybe soon when I have extra money.
I think it was mostly the beginners who does this and you don't look like one of them according to your forum rank. This is because paper can get damaged easily and then even if you keep it on a safe place, its writing can still fade away over time according to what I have observed. A better way to store a seed phrase is when you write them in stain-less steel. It may take time but it's worth it especially if you have lots of Bitcoins. There is also a company who sells those steel letters along with a capsule-like storage for use with our seed phrases. I think that works good too. Lastly, hardware wallets should not be forgotten as a safe location on securing our keys/BTC.
144  Economy / Economics / Re: Our decision making is responsible for the outcomes in our ways on: March 11, 2024, 05:23:44 PM
Governments of various countries do not want to recognize Bitcoin as their own currency.  They think that recognizing Bitcoin will reduce the use of their own currency and cause a great loss to their country.  Moreover, in underdeveloped and developing countries, if the government does not prohibit keeping black money account, it will be seen that these countries are so corrupt that the government will not be able to keep any account of black money and the corrupt will turn all the black money into white money.
First of all, Bitcoin is decentralized and are not personally owned by every other people, government, or country except from its founders but if let's say a country honours it as their own currency, people there will also use it though it does not mean that they will not use their original currency anymore.

There will always be a demand for it because it was offline and is stable. Currency usage is not only the ones that can affect a country but I believe there is more than this. Corrupt countries also knows how to be strict but the only bad part is like you said, once they confiscate illegal stuffs, they are now the ones who will consume it.

Then I should follow every Crypto Currency Twitter account. To be informed about the latest news all the time. This will increase my success rate a little more.
There is nothing wrong in following certain people on social media platforms to gather knowledge and information, but you need to remember that not everything you see or read on the internet is true and not every information is correct, so you should always have multiple sources to check the information that you find to be sure about the authenticity of the information and knowledge shared by anyone through any social media handle.

Talking about the success rate in trading, it is dependent on how you manage your trading activities. You should never be in a rush to make many trades in less time thinking that would earn you more money, it doesn't work that way. So, make sure that you are making trades where you have calculated the risks involved and know that the outcome wouldn't be too severe if it's negative.
146  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin was created to reform money and provide financial freedom on: March 10, 2024, 06:16:33 PM
Bitcoin offers freedom from failing financial systems. Regaining control over our financial independence from the government. This movement started with local and global enthusiasts. They're visionaries and investors. Bitcoin promotes a stable, unmanipulated financial system. The goal is to empower people and encourage independence and long-term planning. Building a Bitcoin portfolio is an investment in a future where people control their finances.

To people in legal trouble: persevere. The tide is turning. More individuals understanding and adopting Bitcoin will drive governments to adjust. It's already happening. Bitcoin's long-term goal is a sustainable, decentralized financial system, not only transactions. Keep your Bitcoin. Ignore skeptics. Bitcoin is leading the decentralized future. Your Bitcoin optimism is justified. It's about altering money mindsets, not just simplifying transactions. Stay educated, enthusiastic, and most importantly invested. Best is yet to come.
Well, I guess we all who are living in countries and regions where governments and authorities aren't very Bitcoin or cryptocurrency-friendly are hopeful and always praying that things might get change as we enter the future because the whole world is recognizing the potential of Bitcoin and how useful it can be for countries and their citizens, it can help people earn money while on the go, if one can afford to get together a small capital, they can start earning money if they are struggling with job placement and similar issues.

Let's hope that countries and governments that aren't supporting the movement understand this thing as soon as possible and instead of thinking about personal benefits such as having control and stuff, they start thinking about the future of their country and people.
147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 10, 2024, 04:55:24 PM
Saudi Pro League has started to move for Kevin De Bruyne from Manchester City.

A salary of 100m/year is rumored.
Yeah, they have invaded Europe again and this time the target is one of the best midfielders in the world and I think this will be the next mega transfer after what happened last summer. Where will he go if he accepts the offer? Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, or even Al-Ittihad? I think it must be one of the richest clubs. If I'm not mistaken, if De Bruyne gets a salary of 100 million per season, that's the same as the salary earned by Benzema and Neymar.

That is not a small number for a professional football player, especially since De Bruyne is still not finished and he is still an important force in Manchester City. I don't think it will be easy to let go of De Bruyne because Pep Guardiola definitely wants his midfielder to stay around for another 2 seasons. I think the Saudi League can convince him if they are willing to pay a fantastic transfer fee for Manchester City, but the final decision remains with the player.
There is no doubt Saudi Pro League is using their all influence and sources for the invading European soccer But I am sure KDB is not going to accept this offer at any cost because currently he is doing impressive job here in Manchester City and still have few years with his best with conditions and quality of soccer is surely going to have impact in this offer as well recently we have few other problems with few European players which bring them back to Europe.

We currently have 4 clubs which are working under PIF, and they will be tried their best for having him player like this into their league with most chances we will have KDB in Al Hilal which already lost Neymar Jr and now looking for the another best player which give them good result and performance for the coming season.
148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What You will do in this situation? on: March 10, 2024, 06:44:04 AM
Looking back I remember how sad it was the only day I played a gambling that depends on luck, I spent many hours playing, I made a 3x profit and instead of stopping playing and withdrawing what I had already won, I continued playing and started losing steadily for 2 hours and in the end I lost everything, I was wondering how it was possible that I had played for many hours
Since you did manage to win some money and didn't stop gambling even after that, you should blame yourself instead of luck-based gambling in this situation because it was your self-control that could save you from those losses if you had stopped gambling and withdrawn your money when you had won 3x of your initial bankroll which isn't a small percentage.

So, though I agree that luck-based gambling isn't always favourable for the gambler and one mostly loses in it, I would say that a lot of gamblers have to face defeat because of themselves and their lack of patience and self-control because when you win and still don't stop gambling and then lose everything, it's your fault and this can happen to you even if you are in sports betting because if you win one game and use all the money for the next bet and then lose it, it's your mistake.
149  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Or Investing which one is better to focus on right now? on: March 09, 2024, 08:33:52 PM
As far as I understand trading often involves a high level of risk as traders are exposed to short-term market volatility. Risk management is very important, and traders can use leverage to increase returns which increases risk. I like investing if you want overall growth with big returns over an extended period of time usually through buying and holding you should invest. The best returns can be obtained by holding long-term investments in bitcoin.
I do agree with that and unfortunately a lot of people lose a lot of money due to that situation. They do not calculate the the volatility that easily and it becomes an issue for them. I think it would make sense if you could end up with something much better like understanding the market and the trend movements. This is of course not easy and many people spend months even years to master the market movements, and a lot of them end up making a lot of money after they master the market, but it takes time to get there.

So, it is only understandable that not a lot of people can do that, we should realize that sometimes we are not going to make money like those people and we should be avoiding any type of mistakes if we are newbies.
150  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Understanding cryptocurrencies and investment. on: March 09, 2024, 06:01:24 PM
My opinion is that there are no universal rules for determining the best cryptocurrency and timing to invest in it. It's important to monitor the market and its dynamics, as well as stay informed about news in this sphere. In this business, one should never rush and it's better to double-check everything.
Yep, that's the basic understanding one should have, no one is going to serve them the best cryptocurrencies in a plate for them, even if you see a certain cryptocurrency in the top list, you should still do your due diligence before you invest in it so that you can be sure that the project has got the potential which is why it is on the top and it isn't because of a trend or some hype that made it gain that rank in the list.

So as a trader, one should be able to do research and analyse projects and all the metrics in them to determine whether a project is good enough for an investment or not, if they think they can't do this, they should only invest in cryptocurrencies that they already know are good and trusted such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, etc.
151  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: $20,000 to invest in any Altcoins of your choice? on: March 08, 2024, 01:38:34 PM
Investing twenty thousand dollars in just altcoins seems too risky in this bull market.  So if I have the ability to invest $20,000 then I would definitely invest $10,000 in Bitcoin as the first choice.  The remaining $10,000 I will divide into five parts and invest in the top 5 coins in the coin market.  I don't want to invest in any new altcoins but the best old coins in the coil market have a high chance of price correction.
You are right that investing everything in altcoins isn't a safe choice but since this is the altcoin section and the question is about altcoins, I think we are supposed to talk about altcoins and not Bitcoin even if we know we shouldn't be investing everything we have in altcoins since it is extremely risky.

I agree with what you say though that one shouldn't invest in such a high amount in altcoins that they aren't confident about or are sure that they are going to give good returns when the market enters the bull run or just gets into the positive side.

These days, people are so eager to invest in new cryptocurrencies because they have seen that newly launched cryptocurrencies provide higher profits and it's true in most cases, however, they carry extreme risks as well.

Islamabad United won the toss and chose to field first. Karachi Kings are 49/4 in the 9th over. They are in trouble. If they can make 160, they might have a chance to win the match. Pollard will be the key wicket here.

Kings won their last match comfortably and will try to win this match as well to get themselves a chance to play the knockouts. While Islamabad's batting performance in the last was average. Although they have big names in their team, they could not justify their reputation in the match.
This match will be interesting, but I will still favour IU against KK as KK's top order is also not in very good form. If IU gets the wicket of Pollard, the game will be over for KK. I am particularly disappointed with Shadab's team selection; why play Imad if he is not in good form? He could have given a chance to a youngster.
Karachi Kings won their yesterday game against Quetta Gladiators comfortably and mostly were expecting they will keep this momentum against Islamabad United for having chance to qualify for the play-offs but sadly today their batting fail to give them good target, and we have good bowling from the Faheem Ashraf and Mills which help their team Islamabad United for keeping their hopes alive for the play-offs after having bat first Karachi Kings able to score 150 runs which is surely not enough for having win for them but still we can hope good competition between these two teams as while Islamabad United is on chase after first three overs they are having just 28 runs with the lost of Munro which is bowled by Mir Hamza hopefully we will have good match as now remaining target is 123 in 17 overs for the win and having second spot for few days.
153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 07, 2024, 03:08:24 PM
PSG started to change since the summer and they no longer aim at super star players or star players with so much expensive transfer cost. Such expensive players cause many problems for them in financial balance, internal dress-room issues and will affect their performances on field.

If Mbappe actually leaves, I agree with you, that PSG will aim at cheaper striker and they are going to build new squad with cheaper cost but players are ready to play together as a solid squad.
After the arrival of new coach Luis Enrique we have few good changes which are surely going to help them in all competitions like they are improving their quality in Champions League with mostly were feeling things will be not good for them but still now they are having spot into last eight, and they also can go through for better end of this season for them which is surely impressive secondly now they are trying to avoid star players which was trademark of the PSG, but now they are trying to have things with average players which are also good change and coach is also ready for the exit of Kylian Mbappé which is under serious rumours about his future which is he wanting to join Real Madrid as there are better chances for the win of Champions League instead of staying here at the PSG which is unpredictable and never been ideal club even he is having huge salary from here.
154  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What can I do to be successful in trading with my small capital on: March 07, 2024, 09:26:25 AM
...Trading is definitely hard for those who can’t manage the risk but for those who have establish skills and proven effective trading strategies, I think successful trading won’t be too hard to achieve especially if you are passionate on what you are doing.
Even if you have the skills and proven trading strategies, you will not be able to avoid liquidating your balance if you do not adhere to the risk management strategy. So anyone who decides to start trading should start by learning the risk management strategy.
When you are skilful and has a proven effective strategy, you might also know how to manage your risk as well but there may be traders who are like that who are now too confident and won't think of managing their risk anymore. That's risky, and as the saying said " It is always better to be safe than sorry ".

There might be other much basic things to learn than risk management strategy when we are about to learn trading. It would be better to follow the proper procedures and learn them first before proceeding to much advanced lessons, so that we are sure that we are going to be more stable by the time we are now doing the actual trades.
155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel excited while gambling on: March 06, 2024, 05:28:42 PM
It's normal to feel frustrated, especially when you have lose streak while playing. Remember that outcomes can be unpredictable, there are times that you'll win or you'll lose. It's important to set budget and limits when playing. Also do not forget to take breaks to manage your feelings and emotions. Prioritize your well-being and remember that gambling should be about entertainment and enjoyment.
Taking breaks during a gambling session? Hmm I think I never experienced it, but I think that is because my capital are always small and it wouldn't take a long time for me to use them all if I'm unlucky but if I'm lucky and I'm profiting, I will only stop and withdraw all my balance. This is only the time when I can take a break.

I think that taking a break is not mainly about what you said or for managing our feelings and emotions but it's about doing other things like going to the bathroom, trying to eat a food, and so on... Managing our feelings and emotions are only necessary when we think we are starting to get depressed, greedy, etc... in gambling and we do it outside our gambling time for quite a long time if possible, so that we are sure that we have now fully recovered.
There are also some times when you could end up with a situation where you just take a break for a longer term. Like think of it as someone like you, who has small capital, and then gambles a bit, loses it and just takes a break for a week before they come back and gamble again. That would be taking a break as well, sure it is not a few hours break, but it's still a break.

I personally did both, I have gambled and stopped for a few hours to collect my thoughts and then came back, but also I have gambled and gave a week, or even month break before ı came back as well. Both work wonders, each time I did it, I have become a better gambler, not just about the results but also about the feelings, felt much better each time I did it.
156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: March 06, 2024, 08:44:43 AM
In the Athletic - Barcelona game, I expected Athletic to win. I was aware of the risks, but a draw, and without goals, was a surprise. The Mallorca - Girona game was a more unexpected surprise. Girona failed to score a single goal, despite the fact that they are now leaders in La Liga in terms of goals scored. Just an anomalous result.
In general, we must not forget that we have now entered a phase where the teams have “come to terms” with their position, so there will be more unexpected results. For example, Real is the champion, this is already clear. Girona, Atletico, Barcelona in the top 4 and the rest are no longer important for these clubs. Now we need to very carefully choose those games where the clubs will have real motivation.
This result was also shocking for me because I was also expecting 2 or 3 goals in this game while both were doing good but still fail to end the deadlock which was surprising but at the end we have good performance from the both sides and this goalless draw prevent Barcelona from going to second spot because Girona is facing bad time and losing too many games specially their second lost against Mallorca is also surprising for the fans as few days back they lost against in Copa del Rey and now another defeat in La Liga is surely setback but hopefully now they will be able to fight back in coming matches because their bad time is going to be ended while they will host Osasuna if they fail to keep things at the better level then surely they will be suffered.
157  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Playing crypto for many years without holding Bitcoin. on: March 05, 2024, 03:18:24 PM
When I've said sell, I think it is normal for each and everyone of us to have a pinch of it and sell if you ever need it. I'm not saying that those that are firm in holding should sell if they don't have to. But those that have to sell at those times if they need to, are free to do so.

I have myself ready to sell some and have a part that will be held for a very long time, no time span when I'll sell. I'm actually both, a trader and an investor and you're right about increasing fiat because I've got some needs to address and that's why I have plans of selling but not all that I hold.
When we say take something as a pinch of it/salt, it means we shouldn't totally believe on it but what you said there is not unbelievable. Hodling is not easy and we all know the people, we are always greedy about money or earning a profit. In fact, many of us can't HODL their Bitcoin even on the beginning of the bull run, like what we are experiencing now. They can't help but to sell it earlier or before it. Other than greed, there is also doubt and fear that what if Bitcoin will not recover and rise anymore? For those who only sell whenever they need money, these people are already treating their Bitcoin's like a saving more than an investment.
158  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Question about futures on: March 05, 2024, 12:09:23 PM
Future trading is full of nothing than risk, this does not only ends there, but we are on the chance of loosing the entire investment if liquidated, i don't think we should go for such as we cannot afford to miss the fund we have earned to use for trading, even though we are having other alternatives, taking risk on what can completely take away our fund is part of what some people have used against trading by the way they termed it the same as gambling.
This is the reason why futures trading is not recommended for inexperienced traders. One first needs to gain enough knowledge about the market, and then start trading with minimal risk assets in the spot market to gain some experience about trading and the market in general. After that, they should start learning about futures trading, once they learn everything, if they feel they are ready to venture into it, they should do it.

One should only start trading in the futures market if they understand all the risks and know that they can manage those risks and wouldn't be losing all their money in it. If they couldn't manage the risks, they are going to lose their capital in no time at all.
159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 05, 2024, 06:35:33 AM
As i predicted this match is very tight because whether it Bologna or Atalanta can performing well and in the first half Bologna actually playing with under pressure but Bologna defensively lines was playing with very discipline which make Bologna not conceded more goals and in the second half Bologna gradually can out from the pressure and they starting to playing more attacking and got several attempts to scores and the result is Bologna can fliped the situations and scores 2 goals within 4 minutes and this result can makes Bologna position strong at 4th place but this loses is very unfavourable for Atalanta because their position on league standings was overtaked by Roma

Indeed next week is hard match for Bologna because they will fight against Scudetto candidate Inter Milan and this match is tested for Bologna consistency because we all know Inter Milan was very fantastic this season and it's hard to beat them even so with Inter Milan because i personally considers Bologna as strong opponent for them and during this season both teams has been met once and at that time Bologna can able to stole point at Inter Milan home ground and looking forward to see this match result whether it Inter Milan or even Bologna who can be the winner but i personally predict this match will ended to draw
You're absolutely right bologna did absolutely well in there previous match against atalanta,at first I was thinking that the match will be in favor to atlanta after dominating the first half with 1goal,but is quite unfortunate that victory was never on there side either.come to think of the up coming match between bologna vs inter milan is going to be tough for bologna reason is because inter milan is in a very good form this season and as well bologna,in my own prediction I think inter milan need to be double chance because I strongly believe that bologna can not eliminate inter milan so easily instead they end up with a score draw.
In first half Atlanta takes led, but both teams were playing well-balanced game and as things were going there were good chance for the Atlanta to win and having three points, but we have good change from the Bologna in second half, and they play much aggressive even mostly ball possession was in Atlanta control, but Bologna's aggressive approach give them good chance for having better result, and they were also able to score two quick goals which give another defeat to Atlanta after having big defeat against leaders Inter Milan.

Now with these results we are having no chance for the Atlanta to fight back for the fourth spot as Roma and Bologna both are on impressive run and things are also good for their chances to be stayed at their current level even now Napoli is also improving which will make things more interested.
160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: March 05, 2024, 05:59:22 AM
I think that Barcelona actually came out to get victory, but the two early injuries to Frenkie De Jong and Pedri may have altered the intended pattern of play for the coach. Asides them not being able to win the game, their biggest worry will also be the two players who got injured, players who are very important to the team. Barcelona remains third as a result of their failure, that opportunity will surely be regretted. If Barcelona do not win their next game, they may even drop to fourth position because after Mallorca, they play Atletico Madrid who are just three points behind them.
Barcelona will play Mallorca and Mallorca beat Girona this week. They got 3 points from Girona and they can get 3 points from Barcelona as well. Then they will face Atletico Madrid away. If Atletico Madrid beat them, Barcelona could drop down the rankings. However, they are unlikely to drop to fifth place. Barça will probably recover a little and continue to win.
Mallorca beats Girona and now going to visit Barcelona with their away performance is not good, and I have feeling most chances Barcelona will give them tough challenge even they are suffering from injuries and other problems but still they can beat them at home and also take full three important points because in this game Mallorca having not good chance for the win and their most wins in last few weeks all came at home in away game mostly they are suffering.

In coming weeks are going to have some good games at the top which can bring good changes like Atlético Madrid going to host Barcelona and then Atlético Madrid going to have another challenge while they will be host Girona these games are going to have good impact on league table in last few rounds.
