Apart from that, Bayern Munich will certainly maximize their potential in the Champions League, because their chances of winning the Bundesliga trophy are very low. To be honest, Dortmund are also faced with the same situation, in which I think both of them will be more focused on the Champions League at this time. Leipzig certainly hopes that Bayern Munich can beat Dortmund, because they will have the opportunity to penetrate the top four of the standings if the scenario goes according to predictions. Dortmund is having difficulty appearing consistently this season due to its own actions, which like to release important players in every transfer window.

The Bundesliga title race is over. Leverkusen will run for the title this year. In the match against Dortmund, Bayern is definitely the favorite to get the three points, because they have the advantage of being the home team and the depth of Bayerns squad may give them an edge in securing the win. Dortmund's instability due to frequent player sales, may affect their consistency. Leipzig, meanwhile, hopes for a Bayern win to boost their chances of making it to the top four.

Rome is looking better with De Rossi as a coach and they are clearly on a upgrading path, but if you ask me i dont really trust on them, they ahve very bad games were they can make anything as planed.

Maybe they can beat Milan but nothing more after that.
What has been shown so far should be able to make many people believe in De Rossi to make Roma much better and indeed the progress is clearly visible as Roma's performance is increasing and this is proven by the positive results they have achieved.
To play against MIlan is difficult because AC Milan is also a team that has good quality but I think the percentage is still the same for both teams and no matter how far Roma have gone this season I think they still have a chance and I never doubt them.

If you think AS Roma has poor quality players and or gameplay, but the fact is De Rossi can still successfully improve the quality of AS Roma performance. Amazingly, De Rossi also managed a big improvement for AS Roma position in the Serie A standings and again got a big chance to be able to finish in the topfour. Also, De Rossi was previously doubted to be able to provide good results for AS Roma in the Europa League butyes, in fact again and again De Rossi managed to provide good results for AS Roma in the Europa League also at thismoment. Therefore, saying or assuming AS Roma has poor player quality and or poor gameplay for me is not right because after all, the players in the current AS Roma squad are also Mourinho's chosen players.

I think it is quite true that DeRossi has significantly contributed to AS Roma performance and his impact on the team's standing in Serie A and Europa League is commendable. However, evaluating a teams overall quality based on individual players can be misleading, the performance of a football club depends on various factors including tactics, teamwork and the coach. The coachs role in selecting and guiding the players should also be considered.

Considering how impressively consistent Arsenal have been since the start of the season, I don't think it'll be wrong to consider them as a strong contender for the UEFA Champions League title this season but I think there are three more four clubs that are still in the competition that I'll rather consider as favourites ahead of Arsenal and that's because I think the players at Arsenal doesn't have much experience in the competition.
Every elite team will always find a way to reach the top this season. Gunners performance have not pleased me because they're just consistent for a season and the next season, they're no where to be found. Perhaps they've change and when I say that, we can be looking at the new Gunners this season. Expects the long winnings and also doing exceptionally brilliant from Arsenal. Mikel Arteta and his team should be enlisted to be among the club's to reach significant UCL finals. The UEFA Champions League is not even consider the league.
I agree about that but maybe Arsenal this season is quite different. We know that it will not be easy for Arsenal to reach the quarterfinals and they have to work hard to get rid of Porto first. After being confirmed for qualifying for the quarterfinals, Arsenal once again had to meet again with a past they didn't want to meet and that was Bayern Munich. Arsenal must be quite annoyed at why it has to be Bayern Munich but that's how the draw works and they have to accept the result.
It's really hard to believe. I tell you that if Arsenal was often bottled trophies, I doubt they will be able to do so this season. It's hard to believe Arsenal won't make the same mistakes as previous seasons. Arsenal may still struggle in the upcoming games against bayern munich soon. I don't trust this club. Arsenal is not even able building my confidence to trust it. 
I've noticed that many people were saying the same thing as you in the previous seasons. They hoped for something different to happen to Arsenal, but nothing happened till almost two decades. Arsenal continues to bottle it. This makes me very skeptical about Arsenal's chances of winning the competition soon especially UCL coz this is the hardest competition where best of the best team is competing to get the most prestigious trophy. I'm expecting the same outcome as last season, but no more. Arsenal failed in the Europa League last season with almost the same squad. How is it possible to win the UCL, where so many great clubs compete to be the best?

I also have general doubts about Arsenals ability to win the UCL given their past performances and struggles in the competition. However, it's important to remember that teams can change and grow over time and Arsenal has made some significant improvements to their squad and tactics in recent seasons. Archeta did a really good job.  Additionally its important to remember that Arsenal has a talented squad with world-class players and they have shown flashes of brilliance in recent seasons. They have also made some smart signings and have a new manager who has a proven track record of success. All of these factors suggest that they have the potential to do well in the UCL this season.

Crypto has been known for anonymity. During the early stage, we like to promote it using the words "decentralized" and "anonymous ", and it's the main reason why a lot of gamblers have chosen to gamble using crypto to gain full privacy, but it seems like things have really change a lot now as gamblers are looking for a casino that are licensed while some casinos who promotes anonymous gambling eventually act like a fiat casino that requires KYC.

What do you think about this one, where is are we heading? And can we still consider crypto casino different from fiat casino?

There a still some crypto casinos which do not require KYC. The most ones are small ones. Established crypto casinos which mostly also sponser clubs and events fall under regulation. Of cource, they were once associated with anonymity and decentralization but the industry has evolved, and many now prioritize licensing and KYC regulations. This shift has led some to question whether crypto casinos are still distinct from fiat casinos. However, the use of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies can still provide transparency and security benefits that are unique to the crypto space. The future of crypto casinos will likely involve a balance between regulatory compliance and the preservation of these advantages.

It was like a fairy tale when Joan Laporta said there was an offer from a club trying to offer Lamine Yamal a transfer fee of 200 million euros and he firmly rejected it. I mean, if what he said was true he should have released Lamine Yamal and when else could he produce that much for a player. Apart from that, the offer also seems unreasonable because Lamine Yamal, who is still 16 years old, has a team that costs him 200 million euros and his market value even exceeds that of Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe. Cheesy

Absolute madness! I would have given him up for the offer straight away. This president is taking a big risk by rejecting the offer because no one knows how the player will develop. For that money you could have brought in two top players who have already proven their class, for example, as you mentioned, Haaland or Mbappe. Barca also has a lot of debt, which has led to restrictions on new signings in the past. That much money could solve a lot of problems.

They really are cracking down those people that are involved in trading or holding Bitcoin. I guess you guys really have to hide all of those crypto related apps if you go outside or use another device when you have to go outside and just leave that phone that has apps installed for your crypto trades and portfolio managing. You'll never know what the police or anyone will do to you upon knowing or accidentally seen that you're also into crypto investing/trading as they'd always have that mindset that someone who's in, has got a lot of money.

While it's true that the legal status of Bitcoin can vary in different countries, there are no widespread efforts to arrest or prosecute individuals for simply owning or trading Bitcoin. As for protecting your digital assets, using strong passwords and encryption can help maintain the security of your crypto apps.

I have several wallets. These are dynamic. BTC address is renewed every time I receive/send token with them.
Is it possible to use one of the previously generated empty addressees to receive token once more in future?
How to avoid messing up with old/new addresses in any wallet that generates them each login?

Yes, it's possible to use a previously generated empty address to receive tokens in the future, as long as it's within the same wallet and the wallet software supports address reuse. However, reusing addresses is generally discouraged due to privacy concerns. Remember, each cryptocurrency has its unique address format, so maintain separate records for each coin or token.
48  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Ethereum Ecosystem is better than Solana Ecosystem on: March 23, 2024, 03:02:52 PM
Lately, due to immerse influx of memecoins into Solana chains made it so popular and sky rock in price in short time but looking at the longer term and case utility, I'll say I do prefer Ethereum and it's chain

I think ETH is still the best after Bitcoin. This is due to its popularity and the utility it has. Of course, the current problem is that transaction costs are increasing. This is due to the density of the ETH blockchain. But of course this will be improved. Moreover, the presence of layer 2 tokens makes ETH even more hopeful. The hype that happened to Solana was because of its incredibly viral memes. Not saying Solana is bad, maybe just because the fees are cheap and not too busy making it an alternative to save on transaction costs. Solana is still very young and I admit that the improvements that have occurred on Solana have been extraordinary.

Ethereum remains a strong contender after Bitcoin thanks to its popularity and utility. The rising transaction costs are a challenge due to the blockchains density, but improvements are expected. Layer 2 tokens add to Ethereum's potential and will foster the ecosystem. Solana has gained attention through viral memes and lower fees, but it is still young and less congested. While not dismissing Solana, it's worth noting that Ethereum's enhancements have been remarkable. Both projects show promise and innovation in the crypto space.

Atalanta will not be able to withstand Liverpool pressure when the time comes. This is because Liverpool is in their super form, and they need to win Atalanta for them to remain in the league. Currently, we can see that it is only Liverpool and Leverkusen that I can say will reach the final stage, amd that makes Atalanta incapable to stop them from victory both at home  and away. Klopp needs more trophy for him to use an a sendforth gift to Liverpool, because this is his last season with them. No matter how good Atalanta is, which I know that their performance is not consistent, they can never win Liverpool this season.

Atalanta is not Sparta Prag. So it will be a different game for Liverpool. Liverpool is currently in top form and highly motivated to secure a win in the competition to give its coach the best possible farewell present they can, after they got eliminated from FA cup. Although Atalanta has shown promise, their inconsistent performance may not be enough to overcome Liverpool's momentum, both at home and away. Regardless, Klopp is determined to lead Liverpool to victory in his final season with the team.

Saudi Arabia has announced they won't bring expensive European players in the next season, so don't expect Giroud will play on there. He's either going to MLS or unpopular leagues.

This information is new for me. Is that actually the case and has Saudi Arabia provided a reason why they want to sign fewer or no new top European players for next season?

Nah, not every great players can become great coaches too, if they're force themselves, it will ended up like Lampard, Rooney and Gerrard.

Giroud can retire and use his money to start a business.

Absolutely, there are some negative examples. A good player does not mean a good coach. The vast majority of top coaches were average or even below average as players.
You don't necessarily have to start a business; that's easier said than done. Rather, I see him in a different sporting role in a club, such as sports director and as a young scout.
51  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is poloniex safe? on: March 22, 2024, 08:09:09 PM
I saw in some comments some people dissapointed or saying poloniex is scam, what do you think?


Are these recent comments? Because Poloniex was actually not recommended in the past. The exchange was hacked and many lost their coins. However, the Exchange now seems to have new owners and is being run more professionally. At least there haven't been any such negative events recently. I wouldn't call the Exchange aebr a scam. But if there is no reason, e.g. because a certain coin is only listed there, then I would rely on larger exchanges like Binance or Kucoin.
52  Economy / Economics / Re: Poor people need solution now on: March 22, 2024, 08:04:42 PM
In all your explanations this is where i got a point. I agree with you on this aspect of poor people continue thesame system. The reason why most people are poor is because there mind is sticked to what they know, and may never try to explore new things. The poor thinks the rich are born to be rich why the poor are also born to be poor not knowing that the rich makes use of opportunity given to them and utilize it. But the poor always have double though and keep procrastinating and see things in awkward ways becoming jealous of other people success instead of making a move by taking a bold step. Most at time the fear of failure is the reason behind not achieve greater things. Sometimes your mind keeps telling you you can't do it. And you feel it's difficult, but when you make a move at first, it may look discouraging but after several attempts you discover that you where the one who was delaying yourself. I have been in that state before and I know how it feels to see other people above you yet you can't be like them. But one other thing is that rich men don't sleep like poor men. They do more research and strategies on how to grow in wisdom and succeed in there endeavours.

You've raised good points about the mindset and habits that can contribute to poverty or wealth. It's true that fear of failure, procrastination, and lack of exploration can limit one's potential. The rich tend to invest time in learning, strategizing, and seizing opportunities while the poor may not. However its important to note that external factors, like socio-economic conditions and systemic inequalities, also play a significant role in wealth distribution. It's not just about mindset, but also about opportunities and resources available.

Close rumor, Liverpool is the only one team linked for signing Rodrygo for the next season behind reach agreement deal between Real Madrid and Mbappe will make not secure yet with Rodrygo as regular position. I think Madrid still not too early for selling Rodrygo and he still has one place as regular position on right winger side, so far Carlo Ancelotti more playing him as regular players and its difficult for Rodrygo will accept Liverpool offering.
Actually Rodrygo is the multi position players and he can plays well as left, right and central forward as false nine under Carlo Acelotti tactician when loss with real central forward players. Madrid success growing up Rodrygo become the best players and he still most respect stays until his contract over.

Rodrygo is currently under a long-term contract with Real Madrid until 2028, making it unlikely that he will be sold.
However, if Liverpool were to make a fantastic offer, Madrid may consider letting him go.
If Liverpool management insists on signing Rodrygo, they will release Mo Salah in the transfer market to get money. IMO
Nonetheless, Liverpool has other player options as a successor to Mohamed Salah, such as Moussa Diaby (Aston Villa) or Bukayo Saka (Arsenal).

If you look at how many players are currently being mentioned with Real Madrid for a transfer, I think it is entirely possible that Rodrigo will be sold. In addition to Davis from Bayern, Mbappe will also most likely move to Madrid. Real has to make the change, the team is still relatively old in its key positions. Barca is also going through a similar phase of change and therefore it would make sense for Real to have a bigger buying party this next season.

Leipzig Is not as consistent as last season but I think their chances of being in the top 4 are greater than Dortmund, currently leipzig and Dortmund are only 1 point apart and Dortmund next week will face a difficult match against Bayern Munich, so Leipzig chances of rising to rank 4 can happen if Dortmund lose from Munich,  But still Leipzig should be able to get 3 points from Mainz later, In my opinion Leipzig has more chances to end the season in 4 than Dortmund.

Leipzig and Dortmund are closely matched in the Bundesliga with only one point separating them. While Leipzig has not been as consistent as last season they have a good chance of finishing in the top four. Dortmund has a challenging match against Bayern Munich next week, which could impact their position. Leipzig, on the other hand, has a more manageable match against Mainz. Thus Leipzig may have a slightly better chance of finishing in the top four than Dortmund IMHO.

Arsenal winning the premier League is like wanting a Cow to pass through the hole of a needle.. it's an impossible mission if you ask me, and I believe they are actually fighting to remain in the top four to qualify for the champions League.. Although they have been playing impressive football since last season and bravo to them for that but winning the league is another level itself.. with clubs like Manchester city, Liverpool who have also been in good form this season it'll  take a big miracle for Arsenal to lift the trophy this season.. Let's also not forget that they'll play Manchester city immediately after the international break probably is the reason bukayo saka is claiming to be injured..

You see it too negatively. Winning the Premier League is a challenging task for sure and it seems unlikely for Arsenal to win the league this season. But Arsenal has been playing well recently. They have shown not only in the league but also in the CL that they are in a good form. The upcoming match against Manchester City will be a tough test for Arsenal and it remains to be seen if they can maintain their good form. Nonetheless, anything can happen in football and upsets do occur so it's not entirely impossible for Arsenal to win the league.
56  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Chances for a Litecoin (LTC) ETF? on: March 22, 2024, 07:42:14 PM
There might be an ETH etf but I am pretty sure there will not be a ltc etf. Sure it’s similar to bitcoin and all but nobody really uses it anymore. It was more popular during 2017 when people used it due to smaller fees but now people moved on to ETH l2 solutions.

So even if it was totally possible to have an ltc etf, most likely there will be no demand for it and it would just close down. The ETH etf is the only non-bitcoin crypto I can see that actually gets a spot etf going.
It's true that Litecoin, has got the potentials for an ETF approval, but recently it's not so popular like Ethereum, so I reason in line with your thought that it's demand might not measure up like Ethereum, if it's approved. Ethereum, on the other hand is second to Bitcoin in the hierarchy of all the cryptos, so based on its popularity and potentials for high demand, I believe that it's approval is next in line, we can only predict, buts it's the SEC that has their criteria to determine which project they will approve next.


Sure the popularity and demand for a cryptocurrency impacts the chances of receiving ETF approval. But liquidity and daily trading volume is important too. Ethereum as being the second most popular cryptocurrency, may have an advantage in this regard. However Litecoin also has potential and could still receive approval in the future. The SEC has the final say in determining which projects will receive ETF approval based on their specific criteria.

The year has seen inflation numbers have a slight surge, showing that inflation is indeed "sticky". What will Jerome Powell do? Rate cuts are absolutely out of the question. Will Powell increase interest-rates again to curb inflation? I believe not today, but let's listen to his speech and see what he has in mind for 2024.

I'm confident that he'll say "maintain interest-rates at 5.5% until new data suggests a change", and "most probably it's higher for longer".

Well he has announced at least three rate cuts this year. Hence the positive reaction on the global stock markets today. Cryptos are also on the rise as there is hope that the printing press will soon start up again. I'm not sure if the three rate cuts are really coming, as inflation is more stable than expected and the economy in the US is also doing very well.
58  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 21, 2024, 12:42:14 PM
It is extraordinary for someone to be a coach and 29 years spent at a club is not an easy thing. In fact, he started as a club player and finally continued his career as a coach for Freiburg as a whole. His love for Freiburg is ingrained and his loyalty cannot be measured by anything. It seems that he also realized that his coaching abilities were no longer comparable to those of other coaches and perhaps because of that he felt tired and preferred to leave Freiburg.

It was a wise decision, especially since Christian Streich is not new to the club and he is very open to anyone in the future being able to handle this team and bring success to each season. As a mediocre team in the Bundesliga, I think Freiburg is not too bad and in fact last season under the guidance of Christian Streich they competed in the top 4 but unfortunately they only got one place in the European league. But overall it was very good and I think with the new coach we can have the same success.

He is a very down-to-earth type and the club is known to stick with its coaches for a long time. That was already the case in the past. Even after Freiburg was relegated to the second division with him in 2015 and the club still held on to him. A year later he led the club straight back into the first league and a few years later even qualified for the international competitions two times in a row.

Real Madrid might be able to have additional performance with Mbappe but that will happen next season and this season they will only be the same as last season when they lost badly on the road to Manchester City.
I think the results of last season matches could happen again for this season quarter final.

Both teams have strong squads and are focused on preparing for the quarter-final. Injuries can be a significant factor in any match, so it's crucial for both teams to manage their players workload and pyhsical stress and avoid any unnecessary risks. Manchester City will need to be particularly careful, as any injuries to key players could significantly impact their chances of winning while Real Madrid may have some new additions to their squad next season, it's essential to focus on the upcoming match and not look too far ahead. The previous seasons results may provide some insight, but it's a new match with new circumstances, and both teams will need to bring their best to get in the next round.

Have you ever met individuals with insane and brilliant ideas that got you wondering, how come he knows all this and it's not even reflected in his life? Some could give you real business ideas that could change a whole generation but that's all they can do, they can't bring it to reality and all their ideas only end on the discussion ground and never come to life.
Some of this people you explained here are not insane but people see them as insane because of there insane explanation or discovery. You know that when someone is doing exceptional thing which others can not do it becomes insane. Some people are good teachers but are not good in doing what they teach, why some can't teach but depend on what the preacher preaches for them to tap from the knowledge. Life is a mistry which you can not explain everything. Some things are really unexplainable about life. That's why people are not perfect. Everything can not complete in one person. Some people's grace is only to educate others to learn and becomes better person in the future, expecially the teachers. Some people who can do what they teach them might be rich in the nearest future, after person he might have help will have becomes rich, will come back for payback of what he has impacted in his life.

It is a valid point that people may perceive exceptional abilities or ideas as "insane" simply because normally they don't understand them or haven't seen them before. Its true that not everyone has the same strengths or weaknesses and some people are naturally better at teaching or learning than others. Also I think it's important to recognize that everyone has unique talents and abilities, and that success often comes from building on one's strengths rather than trying to be well-rounded. Those who excel in a particular area may be able to leverage their skills to achieve great things, while those who are less skilled in certain areas can still make valuable contributions by learning from others and applying that knowledge in meaningful ways.
