Especially after Edinson Cavani left the Old Trafford, Manchester United will play with one striker and Cristiano as the main striker, the suitable alternative at this time is Anthony Martial. Besides that I don't take Juventus seriously with him, even after Dybala left Juventus still have Vlahovic and recently bring Federico Chiesa, not only that they also have Moise Kean.
Besides Anthony Martial, several names such as Roberto Firmino,
Timo Werner and Memphis Depay have reportedly made Juventus interested in signing one of them, and are more enable to look at these names than Martial if look at their performances last season.
Martial was one of those young talents that admire. Since after his arrival to Manchester United, and the coach that signed him left, the club has never believed the young lad. From leaving his position to Ibrahimovic to leaving it to Cavani and all the men are old, blocking the chances of the young star in the club. This season that we think he will prove himself, Ronaldo is still around to block him finally.
If Martial feels threatened in Old Trafford, he should leave .

I think he is just being shown a lot of hope and nothing of that hope is being turned into reality. There is someone who always keeps him from playing for the first team. I think it is high time he moved and found his future in another club. He will not be able to grow if he keeps playing for Manchester United. Obviously, things could be different if he was actually given a reasonable amount of chances to do so. In other teams, I think he will do better. With the situation Manchester United is in right now, it's not a smart idea for any individual player to hope for better things with this club.

In the CS cup, Liverpool the opening with Alexander Arnold goal. He sent a nice goal into the corner without waiting for a nice pass.Even if City scores a goal towards the end of the match. Liverpool were so eager to win the game, then they won a penalty and Salah scored from the penalty spot and then another goal, the result was 3-1. As Liverpool will be very effective this year, they have been very strong offensively.

I believe Manchester City’s in for a fight this season. Liverpool have already proved that they are a much-improved team from last season. Liverpool will have to work really hard though to be successful in the English Premier League and also in the Champions League as well. I think Manchester City is the one which will be under pressure. Manchester City will need to win the English Premier League and also the Champions League as well. Otherwise, a lot of people are apt to point fingers at them and their coach. Liverpool did really well to win the FA Community Shield final against Manchester City. And it was also a convincing win. I know a lot of people are tempted to say otherwise. A lot of people are going to say that Liverpool won the match in the last 10 minutes. Yeah, they did. So?
1663  Economy / Speculation / Re: Anyone bought Bitcoin/altcoins already? on: July 31, 2022, 02:01:33 PM
I bought about 30% for bitcoin and 70% altcoins, of course it's a good thing if we divide assets into many places, don't just depend on bitcoin, because altcoins have a huge potential for 100% profit in a short time, but I never leave to buy bitcoin even with a smaller percentage than altcoins.

Have you considered the possibility of altcoins losing 100% of their value like luna did in the past? Except for bitcoins, there is no guarantee that any other  will be able to recover, let alone that you will be able to turn a profit. If it were me, I would do the opposite, 70% in bitcoin and only 30% in altcoins. With the bear market underway, bitcoin is a safe bet and only bitcoin can guarantee future returns.
1664  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Macroeconomic Situation of BTC on: July 31, 2022, 01:51:11 PM
There are numerous major factors behind the current bear market.


Belief in specific characteristics of cryptocurrencies
Ukraine is at war.
People tend to follow others.
Interest Rates and Inflation


What you guys think?

Yeah, that's how the market really works, I mean there could be events like the war that really affected not just crypto but the rest of the financial market. And if I remember back in 2018 (start of the bear market that time), news of hacks and then the crackdown started the plunge culminating to the pandemic in 2020.

So now this is new factor affecting the price, specially the war that is going on in Europe. And as we try to recover from the pandemic, inflation sets in.

The fact that inflation is not a surprise, in my view with money printing and aid packages during the covid pandemic, leads to inflation, which has been foretold. What we did not expect was that the war between Russia and Ukraine made the world economy even more wobbly and difficult and bitcoin is not immune to that influence. With or without these factors, this year is also expected to see a drop in the price of bitcoin, this is a crypto market cycle and a lot of people have been waiting for it to happen.
1665  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the future of Bitcoin uncertain? on: July 31, 2022, 01:36:56 PM
What could be the state of Bitcoin in the future?

This is discussed all the time but I am asking this question because my elder brother said that after 2025 Bitcoin will not exist anymore and will be completely dead. He also said that after 2025 Bitcoin will not be mined so that Bitcoin will not be able to hold its own position.

So I would like to know from you how reasonable this statement is?
2025 bitcoin will not axist? the future of bitcoin is certainly very certain and will not be disturbed by the government...

but the nature of bitcoin is that the price is very volatile, in the future you will definitely see bitcoin go down to 50% of its ATH and up 100% of its ATL. every day the price of bitcoin is uncertain and that's the interesting part of bitcoin.

There is no doubt that bitcoin's future is in doubt, but it is probably not quite accurate to say that the government won't bother with bitcoin at all. Bitcoin does not see the government as the enemy but the government seems to see bitcoin as the enemy. As long as bitcoin exists, they won't stop messing with it until it disappears, but that's not going to be possible. Bitcoin volatility is not a bad thing sometimes, the stronger the drop, the stronger the upside potential.

So, as things stand right now, Barcelona is the biggest spender in Europe's top 5 leagues. Who else is amazed at how they managed to pull this off minus selling off most of the surplus players?
What is Barcelona's plan to make sure their current financial situation doesn't go from bad to worse after the huge signings, or was there ever a financial crisis at the club to begin with?
The financial crisis is still there, Barcelona already sold the next 10 years of TV rights to get some money for the market.
(Besides that later this year everything can change with the ESL)

I think this is going to be beyond our understanding. For sure, it's beyond my knowledge. A team that is in absolute debt and probably 1.5 billion dollars in debt. I have no idea how they have managed to spend so much money. I really hope they will be able to do something good in the next season. I do believe the board actually trusted the new coach Xavi Hernandez. That’s why he was able to afford the luxury of spending so much in this transfer market. I think now they should be strong enough to give Real Madrid a good fight for the title. And if they can beat Real Madrid, it will be easy for Barcelona to win the league. But I am still not expecting too much from them in the Champions League.
1667  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 31, 2022, 11:17:44 AM
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri is experimenting with his squad. Against Barcelona, we saw a strange formation from Juventus. Massimiliano Allegri builds his strategy in a 4-5-1 formation. They drew the match 2-2. But against Real Madrid yesterday, he adjusted his tactics to a 4-3-3 formation. But Juventus lost the match 2-0. Maybe Massimiliano Allegri will do some more experiments before the start of the season.
1668  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: July 30, 2022, 05:18:56 PM
Statistically Manchester City lead but the temporary score is 1-0 for Liverpool and Liverpool won at half time, I personally have previously said that I was a little forced to choose Liverpool. because earlier when I placed the bet it was clear that Manchester City was the favorite team but I still bet on Liverpool, even though I still bet safely with the draw no bet option. Hopefully this result can be maintained by Liverpool or maybe will add another goal, who knows.
This is why football games are judged by goals scored not statistics hehe. Manchester city is expected ofcourse to be the one who holds the ball brilliantly and try to keep it; yet they must score a goal to equal the tie before the 90th minutes, I reckon a Liverpool 2 nil win here, with a Salah winner after a quick counter attack

After 55 minutes, Liverpool is leading 1-0. I wouldn't say that Manchester City is playing badly. The gameplay of City is good. But they are not able to penetrate Liverpool's defense. Liverpool is playing a bit defensive after scoring. Manchester City has talented players like Haaland, Grealish, and Mahrez in attack but they are not playing well. The chances of Liverpool winning the match are high, otherwise, the match will be a 1-1 draw.
1669  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: July 30, 2022, 05:12:16 PM
BCCI has announced their ODI team for Zimbabwe tour. They are again going with 2nd string team and keep testing their bench strength.

Kohli, Bumrah and Shami are taking long break. Rishab, Rohit and Chahal (wasn't necessary) are also rested. KL Rahul still not fit i suppose.

Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav and Deepak Chahar are finally back. Maiden call for Rahul Tripathi in the squad.



Virat Kohli should have been given a chance in the series against Zimbabwe. He has been out of form for three long years. Zimbabwe's bowling line-up is weak. Virat Kohli might have been able to play well against such a team. If he returns to form, he might be able to perform consistently well again. But BCCI rested Virat Kohli. It doesn't look like he will be able to return to form for the next World Cup. Kohli is probably going to be kicked out of the Indian team very quickly.

This is an interesting question, and in my opinion, haters are more active than adequate fans. If you look at any sports article about some football player (now I'm talking about the situation in my country), then no matter who it is about, the largest number of upvotes receive comments with a negative towards the player in question.
As I understand it, the latest rumor regarding Ronaldo right now is a loan deal at Napoli? Highly doubtful in my opinion.
There are too many masalas in media about Ronaldo transfer news because first we have Chelsea and Bayern Munich then suddenly both disappear, and we have Atlético Madrid but this also ended without any solid update after this I read now Ronaldo is going to be meet with Ten Haq about his future and most chances he is going to stay here at Manchester United without Champions League but now suddenly another news about on loan deal with Napoli mean media trying their best for keeping themselves into action without any solid reason.
Teams like Atlético Madrid and Roma fail to in negotiation with Ronaldo just because of their finances so is this possible for Napoli to do this really interested question because most chances he is not going to cut his salary which is the big problem for many clubs so with this all most chances he will stay here and not go anywhere for just Champions League.
Journalists can be understood - they squeeze the maximum out of any story, and here we are talking about the greatest player, so this is the most profitable information occasion. If you remember the history of choosing Mbappe between just two clubs, then there was so much news that literally everyone was tired of them. By the way, another rumor appeared today (and then a quick refutation of it) about the possible transition of Ronaldo to Sporting.

At this point, I really think that there hasn't been any honest news about Ronaldo leaving or staying. The media is just trying to make news for themselves so that they can sell them. Looking at things I really don’t believe Cristiano Ronaldo is willing to leave Manchester United right now. Especially when the other clubs are not interested in him. Or at least certainly do not want to get him on the team for any long-term plan.

So, the most rational decision here is going to be Cristiano Ronaldo staying in Manchester United.

Please tell me one thing. Why would Cristiano Ronaldo move from Manchester United to Napoli or Sporting? Especially after Manchester United is trying to fix a lot of issues?
1671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 29, 2022, 05:59:31 AM
^^ Lol Hasan Ali? In his last 4 test matches (2 against Australia and 2 against SL ) he has taken only 5 wickets with a strike rate of 180 and 100. I do like him as bowler but he has been performing below average in this cycle. His only satisfactory outing was against Bongbros.

Having a successful performance in the test match against a team like Bangladesh, which is already weak, actually very weak in test cricket is not a significant achievement at all. And Hassan Ali is a capable bowler.

If we look at his test career we will see that he has taken 77 wickets in probably 21 matches. He has an economic rating of around three which is quite acceptable in my opinion. And in his defense, we can say that the tracks in Sri Lanka are not very convenient for fast boarding. The tracks are ideal for a spin. So that is one way to defend him. But obviously, that should not be an excuse and he should always be able to contribute to the team. I hope he learns from this, and he should also know that people are talking about his recent performance.
1672  Economy / Economics / Re: Fashion Brands uses Blockchain Technology on: July 29, 2022, 02:33:31 AM
Adaptions like this, especially a famous fashion brand has a huge impact on the crypto industry. It could spread awareness, especially for people who still aren't aware of the function of cryptocurrency and how it works as a mode of payment. It will also be an advantage for crypto users who want to purchase brands using their crypto assets. It's a good thing that blockchain technology has been developing and emerging continuously.
On the one hand it is. Because basically they both have their respective advantages where crypto users can buy famous fashion brands using their cryptocurrency assets and also cryptocurrencies will become easily famous with such interactions at this time. Because it can also encourage more people to find out about blockchain technology that can provide benefits and financial freedom for every user.

This is a mutually beneficial relationship, in that famous brands assist blockchain technology to become more and more popular and interested in more users worldwide. The popularity of blockchain that will be the premise for people to use cryptocurrency will also increase. On the other hand, using blockchain also allows them to reach a wide range of customers, especially crypto customers like us, which enables them to increase revenues even further.
1673  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia's economy is 'imploding' on export decline, economists claim on: July 29, 2022, 02:24:45 AM
Do you want to say that all the energy crisis, the food crisis that is about to come, the chaos in the markets around the world and the rapes and crimes of genocide committed by Russian soldiers are the fault of Ukraine?
It is reckless to lay the blame on Ukraine, since its foreign and domestic policy is not independent and is deeply dependent on the United States. The United States has been the instigator and culprit of virtually every major armed conflict in the world since the post-World War II era. War by proxy and on foreign territory is a modern US corporate identity. And the conflict in Ukraine is no exception, simply because the United States is profitable, the United States is the main beneficiary of this conflict and the main supplier of hatred around the world. Such a story.

There are no doubt that the United States is the largest arms exporter in the world and the majority of their revenue is derived from the sale of arms, which contributes to the growth of their economy. If there is no war, who do they sell weapons to, so I also agree with you that America is the mastermind of most of the wars in the world. No one benefits more than them, one way or another they are always manipulating all that chaos, unfortunately Ukraine has become the target this time.
1674  Economy / Economics / Re: Yellen says economy shows no signs of recession on: July 29, 2022, 02:11:06 AM

U.S. government seems to want to change what "recession" means as if the economic numbers don't indicate dire consequences of post COVID fiscal policies. I'm looking for whatever excuse they can find to explain the numbers and don't find anything worthy of salvage. Hiring is slowing for the U.S. economy, wages are not growing, inflation is high. Perhaps the federal reserve is unwilling to recognize reality, or perhaps they are truly as incompetent as everyone thinks.
This is one of the classic tactics of politicians, they are just moving the goalposts and nothing more, it is similar to what they do with inflation or unemployment in which they modified the criteria to give the impression the inflation and the unemployment are lower, but if we used the previous criteria we can see that inflation and unemployment are way higher than what we thought, so it is not really that surprising they are trying to do the same with the recession term.

I think the US has been in a recession for a long time, so we don't have to wait until the second quarter GDP growth report is negative to really say they're entering a recession. The primaries are about to start so the government will do its best not to notify the people of this, it will have a profound effect on the upcoming primaries. Everything has to do with politics and it's no surprise that they do this.
1675  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin soars as the FederalReserve raises the key interest rate by 75 basis pnt on: July 28, 2022, 01:25:59 PM
Perhaps the market has gradually become stubborn before the Fed raises interest rates and previous predictions are also almost exactly what the Fed announced, so it may no longer cause panic among investors. Assuming the interest rate is not 75 points as previously predicted but 100 points, perhaps the market will have fluctuations in my opinion that will be extremely sharp causing panic in the market.
1676  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Satoshi is not dead, what is he doing? on: July 28, 2022, 01:11:15 PM
The fact that we are predicting satoshi is no different than we are discussing the future price of bitcoin, which is almost never-ending. He chose to remain completely anonymous so we should respect his decision.

Honestly, I like his decision to remain anonymous, it's like how bitcoin works today. promote user privacy.
We've always wanted to know satoshi's true identity, it's human curiosity but perhaps we're bothering him. So in my opinion, we should stop looking for him. That's the only thing we can do for him with the great legacy he left us.

Unlike traditional money transfer systems, once you have pressed the "send" button there is no chance for you to revert back, which is one of the differences between bitcoin and traditional money transfer systems. With statements like this, I consider this a scam, you will lose another large amount of money to another scammer if you choose to use this service, you can even report it to the FBI, they can't help you get those bitcoins back let alone these fake experts.

This also applies to the squad of any country that will compete later, no one can guarantee to win the world cup tournament in Qatar.
messi, he does not guarantee that he and his team will win the title this time. at least he still wants to try as much as possible to present the world cup title one last time in transition to retirement for his country.
regardless that they can achieve it or fail halfway.
I am optimistic that Messi and the Argentina squad will work very hard and give their best. even though messi is not playing in his best performance at psg but in the world of football everything can happen unexpectedly as well as other squads that will compete later in the world cup qatar all have hopes and opportunities.
only a few months away we will know later after the match is held.

As much as I want to see Lionel Messi winning the World Cup, I don’t think it is going to be a reality. This is because he is one of the most talented players in the world. But he really shines in the Barcelona style of football. I don’t think Argentina has adapted to that style of play at all. It is really challenging to imagine Lionel Messi also just carrying his team on his back and winning the World Cup at this age. I am also willing to say that the Argentina squad is not the sexiest coming into the World Cup.
1679  Economy / Economics / Re: U.S dollar almost equal to Euro on: July 26, 2022, 03:42:54 AM
Russia is restricting gas flow coming from Nord Stream once again, cutting supplies in half from 40% to 20%, claiming that one of their turbines needs maintenance. The war could last years, while the fear of Russia eventually permanently stopping gas flow to Europe is extremely likely in the upcoming months.

Experts in the EU have also warned about this before. Now that it has happened, sadly they do not know what to do other than criticize each other for what has happened. The European Union is now really stuck in a gas war with Russia, despite previous claims that it will soon find an alternative source of Russian gas.

If Europe and the US still want to impose a ceiling on the prices of Russian oil and gas, then stopping gas exports to Europe will happen and will prolong the war even more.
1680  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My old officemate become millionaire on investing on Bitcoin on: July 26, 2022, 03:24:59 AM
That's an interesting story. Sometimes, we only need to hold and forget about our investment for a while so we'll never be tempted to sell during a crash. Bitcoin made lots of people millionaires, especially those who took the risks and trusted it. This is inspiring and the story only taught us a lesson to grab the chance of buying while the price of Bitcoin is still low so we'll never miss the chance of gaining a good profit when the bull run comes. Bitcoin will always be worth investing but we should be brave enough to hold.
In order to be able to do so, we need to have enough faith and a strong spirit to overcome the temptations and fears of the market. Furthermore, in order to have a comfortable investment position, you have to invest only with idle money without borrowing or taking out a mortgage to finance your investments. we will be fully confident enough to hold.

The lesson learned from this story is, only buy and hold, do not sell in the bear market, only sell when you have made a profit, you will succeed.
