Bayern Munich is interested in signing Antonio Rüdiger from Chelsea for next season. This has been reported by several sources close to the club. According to them, there have already been initial talks and coach Nagelsmann has recently also publicly praised the development of Rüdiger in recent years.

Basically, there are many ways to protect your fortune from inflation in the long run. However, over the longest period in human history, gold has clearly proven its worth. Of course, real estate is an option, but real estate can be destroyed by natural disasters or wars, for example, or even seized by government, while this is much more difficult with precious metals. In recent years, bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have also been added to list of being a protection from inflation, but I would still be cautious here. We all assume that Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation, but long-term data is still simply lacking to prove this. That's why my tip is gold.

Bookmakers make only the initial odds. Subsequently, they will change based on how much is bet on which outcome. So it seems that 99% or more are betting on a Bayern win. Accordingly, the odds are so one-sided. Somehow, however, no wonder. Bayern is first in the Bundesliga with outstanding recent matches nationally and internationally, while Furt is last in the table with just one point.

10-15% loss in a day is nothing rare in crypto. You can't compare it to the stock market. The volatility is definitely higher. Therefore, this should not be understood as a bloodbath. A bloodbath would be a loss of 30-50%% in a few days, which has also happened many times in recent years.

Before investing now, one should understand that we are in a bear market, even if many do not see it that way. Bitcoin is currently at around 40k+ after its high of 60k+. This correction was necessary after the enormous rise, only since then the price oscillates somewhere between 37 and 48k, with the tendency to always have a lower low than before. This is a typical pattern for a bear market.

I also play online poker with a few mBTCs every now and then for fun. Over the years I have tried several providers, including those mentioned here so far. But I found Blockchain.Poker (https://blockchain.poker) the best so far.
The service is relatively uncomplicated to use. No verification or providing of personal data is required.

If you leave out the previous European Cup games, the picture is a bit different. PSG has scored the maximum points in the league (6 games, 6 wins), while ManCity has won only three of five league games. A lot will depend on how PSG is positioned. If Neymar, Messi and Mbappe will start together again, then ManCity is my favorite. I still remain of the opinion that Neymar and Messi do not work together very well. Neither in the past at Barca, nor today at PSG.

Another important reason why many companies rely on Ethereum is because it is large and decentralized. Such networks are difficult to attack. This is also the reason why many smaller platforms with potentially better smart contract functionalities than Ethereum are not preferred. Binance's smart chain is central. No serious company will run a production application there in the long run. Maybe for testing purposes, but not real apps for customers.

The question is how to define "to own." Because basically, a lot of countries are in possession of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through their respective law enforcement agencies through seizure. Even the USA. Most of the time, however, they are sold or auctioned off when they are obtained from illegal sources. But in a narrower sense, it means that they are at least temporary owners of these coins.

Maybe you should narrow down the question a bit. For example: Which countries own Bitcoin as government reserves?

Staking has some advantages and disadvantages, so everyone must decide for themselves whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

For example, staking is taxed differently than mining in many countries. Mining is a process in which I have to purchase hardware with which I then generate something (in this case crypto coins/tokens). Similar to a carpenter who buys wood to make furniture.
With staking, you buy digital assets to make money out of it, so it's more like lending money for which you get paid for. You give away some amount of your coins/tokens for a certain amount of time for a certain amount of interest.

Accordingly, you need to check which model is more interesting for tax purposes in your country.

From a broader perspective, we are already in a bear market. We had the top at around 62k and dipped 39k last night. We have broken the low (42k) from a few weeks ago to the downside. A lower low than a recent low before, shows that we are already in a bear market, even if it is not as strong so far as many previous ones in the crypto market have been.

And that there is no bad news is not quite true either. The sell-off also had to do with the fact that stable coins are to be more heavily regulated. While this is not a bad development overall, it does pose a problem for some business models in the crypto sector.

Does anyone actually have an evaluation of whether these are Bitcoin full nodes only or whether the number also include lightening nodes?
I ask because recently a few German youtubers with a larger reach have called for setting up lightening nodes. The current numbers could therefore be the result of this.

Wer auf Twitter ist, dem kann ich nur empfehlen Nayib Bukele zu folgen, dem Präsident von El Salvador. Scheint ein ziemlich lässiger Typ zu sein  Und manchmal hört er sich so an wie ein typischer Bitcoiner.

To be fair, it must also be said that the features listed were not invented by Ethereum or Vitalik. These features existed in other projects before Ethereum existed. I remember Nxt, for example, where there were already colored coins and decentralized marketplaces in 2013/2014. Ethereum just made some things better and it became the largest holistic ecosystem in cryptospace.

I think it will only have a big impact on the price and the market in general if the ETF is physical replicated then and not synthetic, so that Bitcoins are actually bought. Because otherwise it would hardly differ from the already existing ETN's (VanEck, cryptoShares etc) , of which there are already some and which have not really had an impact in the past.

The real problem is not NFT itself. I think most are sure that NFT (physical or non-physical) will remain an important part of the crypto ecosystem. The form may change. And NFT is also partly responsible for giving crypto an even broader public perception. But: every halfway finished project now seems to implement some NFT feature just to be hyped. There will be a big purge sooner or later and a lot of these projects will disappear. It's like the ICO hype at the end of 2017. Only a few survive and these platforms will help determine the future in the NFT space.

If you mention the worse performance of Frankfurt in the Fernabace game in the EuroLeague, then you must also say that Wolfsburg also did not play well against OSC Lille in the Champions Leauge and was lucky not to lose. I think the game is open, even if Wolfsburg is favorite. Frankfurt must win otherwise they will have taken only 3 points from five games, which means a total false start to the season and the goal of reaching the ranks for European qualification will be far away.

I wouldn't see it that way. Satoshi has created a truly new "product" (of course there was some preliminary work, but Satoshi has assembled many individual elements into something new that did not exist before and solved an essential problem), while Vitalik has improved this product with some new features.

It's kind of like saying Satoshi invented the car and Vitalik added electronic power steering and a navigation system. One would say the invention of the car itself was a much greater invention. And that's how I see it with Bitcoin and Ethereum. Nevertheless, Vitalik has made a huge contribution to entire crypto space.

Your strategy is unlikely to work. Shitcoins would only get value if they are revived and get a larger number of supporters. But why would anyone do that in the future for seriousness? Of course, it is possible that one or two shitcoins will be revived for fun in the future, but it is so easy today to fork a project and hype it with a few new feature changes than to raise a dead shitcoin project from the dead.
I'm also not aware of any shitcoin that was hyped in 2017 and then crashed having gained any noteworthy success in 2020/2021.

Well, to lower the risk I would go for double chance. The odds are then less attractive, but in such games the chance is usually 33/33/33, so that virtually all three end results are equally likely. With double chance you can increase the probability of winning to 2/3 or about 70%.

I am currently thinking about investing a larger amount > $20k which I have recently received through sales of some shitcoins that I don't think have much of a future ahead of them. I have already done some research myself. But for the final assessment I would like to hear your opinion. Which of these following projects do you see as a great investment and why?

• Cardano (ADA)
• Polkadot (DOT)
• Avalanche(AVAX)
• Litecoin (LTC)
• Cosmos (ATOM)
• IOTA (MIOTA)

I have already severely limited the number of possible coins. The original list was around 30 coins, but after the research, the above six coins remained. Therefore please do not name others.
