look, if it weren't for the penalty points, Juventus would have been in an excellent position
clearly those missing points were penalized (and that's the reason for the punishment, if they didn't penalize it made no sense)
so actually for me it made a good season considering how they had started
If I were in Allegri's position I would leave European football and accept the offer, because after all Allegri is only a head coach which of course will not affect his future. Unless the players are young, then of course it would be better to stay in Europe until old age to end up playing in a different league like that. But yes about Juventus, I personally really believe that Juventus will have a better performance next season. Although indeed, a team like Inter looks more promising in the next season but for me personally, I believe in the winning mentality that Juventus has so that they will still get their best form with great efforts which of course must be continued. Actually, in my opinion, Juventus performed well in the last season. But the fact that 10 points had been taken away from them was the reason why they were not at the top of the table at the end of the season. Allegri did decent enough with the team. If I remember correctly, he was not given financial freedom. At least not to the level that he can bring in anyone that he wants in the squad. I think if he is given a little financial freedom, and if the players can also perform like they did in the last season or better, they are going to finish in the top four easily. |

After three bore cricketing days we have fourth very exciting day as 15 wickets fall and now match is completely in Australian control even England having very good start of fourth inning while they were chasing target of 267 with having 50+ runs stand for the first wicket now they are 116 for 5 after end of fourth day play. Introduction of Ashleigh Gardner change the match momentum as she picks three quick wickets and breaks the backbone of England now mostly likely we will have result before lunch because tail-enders can't handle this situation and bowling of Ashleigh Gardner which is at the top of the game after picking three vital wickets and bring back his team in winning situation. Well, it was genuinely sad how the match ended. I thought the England women were going to actually show some good heart and try to win this match. But obviously, you are not going to win a test match if you lose six wickets in 68 runs. Except for Wyatt, no one else was actually able to score. Anything meaningful for the England team. I genuinely thought the England women have a chance. But they proved me wrong. A big win for Australian women by 89 runs in the end. |

Those who don't have money, have all the time to keep learning and reading stuff online about Bitcoin and the crypto space, they have no reason to be in any hurry and it seems they are the ones that avoid the unnecessary dramas in the crypto space because they took their time to learn first.
Because some person at the moment doesn't have the money to invest in bitcoin doesn't mean they are taking the period all out learning and gaining more knowledgeable tips and strategies about bitcoin as it relates to investment and trading. They could be using those period strenuously working and conceive some other channels on how to generate the needed money for the investment other than devoting such time to learn. The necessity of the money in using it to invest could make their interest to learn and gain knowledge very slim. Like what if they learn and ends up never having the money to invest eventually. Like of what usefulness is a knowledge to a person when they don't have the wherewithall to use that knowledge on. I think having the money already at hand could be a booster for anyone who have the hunger to learn to even spread his tentacles for a broader knowledge about bitcoin but for those who don't have the desire to learn but just want to earn, not having the money to invest is a fertile ground for excuses. I also believe that not many people would try to learn about bitcoin if they didn't have the money. Instead, they will find another job to earn money because no one wants to waste time learning something they are not sure they will use later. I used to fall into this situation, I am very passionate about investing, but when I don't have money, I will prioritize making money for the necessary things first. Investment will only be considered when we have the money available for it. You are right, having the money already at hand will definitely help us stay motivated and arouse the desire to make more money from the money we have. From there, it motivates us to desire to learn, to find out everything necessary to bring success. When it comes to investing, money and knowledge are necessary and sufficient conditions to start, without either of them, things will go nowhere. |

Now maybe a third player who has played for FC Barcelona in the past will join Inter Miami. So if that doesnt bring more fans to the stadium and a successful season, it would be a surprise.
The arrival of Lionel Messi to Inter Miami will certainly benefit the club because they will benefit from selling club jerseys and other benefits they will find it easy to find new sponsors because after all Lionel Messi is still a considerable attraction from these two profits. It is about Jordi Alba, his contract expires this month and he still has no new club. With 34 years he would play football for a few more years and it looks like he will do that in America with Messi and Busquets. So if all three play together, Inter Miami would have this three in the defense, midfield and a new goalgetter.
It looks like the trend for Barcelona players will be towards American football and if Jordi Alba reaches an agreement and moves to Inter Miami then he will reunite with his friends Lionel Messi and Busquets, but so far I have not seen any good news and whether Jordi Alba will become an Inter player Miami for next season. Jordi Alba has been a very good player for Barcelona. He was the main player for Barcelona in the left-back position for a long time and he has done a very good job at it. I understand that Barcelona cannot afford to give him the type of money that they are giving him anymore. And Jordi Alba also wants to get a good amount of money as a salary. It is obviously going to be the right thing for both of them to go their separate ways. In America, he is going to have a lot more money and also he's going to have his old teammates as well. That is going to make him feel better. Let's be honest he is at the end of his career and it is going to be best for him to get as much money as he can. |

All of sudden this boring leading towards the draw test match has come to life since the Australian women's team has collapsed in the 2nd innings and is all out for 257 runs. This means that England's women's team now needs only 268 runs to win this test match and we have 3.5 sessions of play left in this match. We all were thinking of draw but not drawing seems impossible as we have more than enough time for England to chase this target. Another good news for the residents of Nottingham, they can now go to the stadium tomorrow and watch the action live free of cost, the fifth day has been declared as free entry, book your seats here https://www.trentbridge.co.uk/index.html  Impressive bowling by left arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone as she takes career best figure in this match 5/63 which built foundation for the English team to win in this only test match Australia which was doing good stuff in second inning have shocking collapse 149 for 2 to 257 for all out bring them on back foot even still things are balanced but England women's are having good bowling in second inning and now their start is also good. Mooney and Alyssa Healy done good job for the Australia in second inning and scored fifties which bring them on good target now first inning double centurion Tammy Beaumont has good chance to score again and give her team win in this test match. The England women’s team needs 167 more to win in 95 overs. They have already lost four wickets. I am almost certain that this match is not going to end in a draw. The woman of England are actually trying to build up a partnership right now. The last wicket fell on 73. I think England realizes that they will need to have a very good partnership to actually be able to win the test match. They should also realize that they are not going to see a draw in this test match. But of course, Australia is also looking to try to get one more wicket. That is going to make the day a lot better for Australia. I genuinely think that if England loses one more wicket today they are going to lose this test match. |

Reading the morning summaries of the newspaper, I came across an article that, according to forecasts, inflation will not remain within the limits of the predicted non-percentages, but will increase and grow, thereby creating economic instability in the world. Do you think it is worth relying on the opinion of economic experts? There have not been any official statements from banks by country yet, but the dynamics show that inflation is growing along with the annual rate of banks. But now it is quite high in all countries, respectively, the rise in price and instability in the markets should be expected or a slight increase in inflation is possible, which will not affect the economy of the world?
2023 is here now, and we can all see that the inflation is taking over the economy, this isn't limited to a country, but it's widely spread in the world. We pray things get better Of course, inflation will continue to grow this year, because the economic and food situation continues to deteriorate, the political situation in the world continues to be tense. Russia continues its war in Ukraine. By blowing up the Kakhovka HPP, Russia deliberately caused an ecological disaster, turning the fertile lands of Ukraine into a desert, which means that Ukraine will not be able to export agricultural products in the same volumes and in many countries the prices for products will increase. Now the Russian occupiers have mined the largest Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in Europe, as well as the Titan chemical plant, located in the north of the Crimean peninsula. In addition, the political leadership of Ukraine has already stated that, according to intelligence, the military received an order from the Kremlin to blow up the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and cause a radiation leak. If world states do not take preventive measures against Russia, it will be fun. For many countries, hunger and radiation will be provided. Now every country in the world is suffering from inflation. But we all know that the war in Ukraine and Russia is the main cause of this inflation. Though economic experts are trying to keep this rate at a sustainable level but they are failing and it is normal. Because when the price of a product increases in the international market, no import-dependent country can control it. However, the rate of inflation is not likely to decrease for the time being but it may rise further in the future. Moreover, if the oil producing countries reduce their production, then it is not possible to control it in any way. Because everything changes depending on the oil. I don't think the main cause of inflation is the war between Russia and Ukraine, not even the covid pandemic is the main cause. Inflation is a part of the economy, and it always comes back after each cycle, even if there is no epidemic or war, inflation still occurs. But this economic crisis has been aggravated by the effects of the covid pandemic and war. Inflation still instills fear globally, but the impact is not the same across countries. In the US, inflation has also cooled down, but in the EU, it is still very high, and in my country, bank interest rates are also falling, showing that inflation is cooling down. But the OPEC reduction in oil production also makes me think it is very easy for inflation to rise again at any time. |

Yes!
you got the topic very correct and I do mean it because after my last thread, I was actually wondering the essences of having all the knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large and still don't have the money to buy, I just feel its a waste of effort and such a person with all his knowledge will definitely miss out of the opportunities in bitcoin and I'm on the opinion that people still need to always have some form of money at all time to buy bitcoin especially at every instance a dip arises and I want to know the essence of wanting to crowd ones brain Brain with so much about bitcoin when such a person doesn't have any more to buy rather than seeking ways to buy?
This is the reality. It’s useless to say that even if you have all the means to invest like knowledge and strategies but you don’t have sufficient amount of money to start your investment, I guess everything you have will just go into waste. It’s still a great advantage if you have instant money and then you have acquire knowledge and skills prior to investing because that will certainly work in the long run. However, if you can make use of your knowledge by participating signature campaigns to finance your investment, I think that would be an awesome idea too. I agree with the point that we have knowledge without money to invest it is wasteful because our aim is to make money, and if it does not help us to make money, then it is useless. But I have not seen anyone with knowledge without money, I mean, we study hard and cultivate knowledge to make money. So it's confusing if a knowledgeable person can't make money. Like your example, if you have market knowledge but you don't have money, you can also make money by participating in forum signature campaigns to earn money. Therefore, real knowledge will not be wasted if we know how to exploit it. |

I don't see any connection between Fuds and halving, instead, Fuds are part of the market, and it can happen at any time, but it will happen more in a bear market. People are quite concerned about the lawsuit surrounding the SEC and Binance, but I find that too normal. Without the SEC crackdown, there will also be other Fuds that will hit the market, just like when the bear season starts, if Luna and FTX don't crash, there will be other black swans. Also, do not expect that the Bitcoin price will start to pump right after the halving, it's always some months later into the next year, so if this next Bitcoin halving happens in 2024, the market will start to pump in 2025.
A lot of people are making this mistake. Many are expecting bitcoin to bounce immediately after the halving is triggered, but that won't happen. I also believe more interesting things await us, as everyone is looking forward to the halving, and what happens when the bulls don't come right after the halving? |

I personally both gold and bitcoin , because for me both are equally profitable, with the characteristics they have it challenges me to own and accompany them to their highest point, there is no long debate between gold and btc because both are investments that need to be considered for the future
it But gold is not really profitable, it just covers inflation. It will never go +30% or so in one month. I mean, I'm not judging at all, I think holding gold has it's pros, but it can't be as profitable as Bitcoin. Investing in gold is still profitable because its price is also volatile and not completely stable, but the return will not be as significant and large as bitcoin. Gold is only suitable for investors who like safety and investors with a huge amount of capital, investing in gold can be profitable. Gold is not as volatile as bitcoin but many times safer than bitcoin, and the two assets are entirely different, so comparing them is rather lame. Each property has pros and cons, and it's up to the individual to make the right choice. I also think like some people here, we can invest in both, it's much better to diversify assets than focus on just one. |

I think that was occasional, but this time it was Patt Cummins he isn't a tailender to be honest, he played a very good knock against India as well in WTC final. So i don't really think it's problem with England. Also even overall lower order test batsmen have now starting playing better so I feel it's a phenomenon I see in almost every match. Good batting till number 9 atleast, india also will have Ashwin and even Shami who can bat well. Well if we are talking about the Australian team, I don’t think we can actually count anyone as a tailender batsman. All of them can actually bat very well. So it doesn’t matter who the bowlers are, they will still have to take the late order of Australia very seriously. We have seen similar types of things happen in the Ashes before as well. But anyway, the performance of England was certainly really good and I think the one mistake that England made was to declare the innings when there were eight wickets down in the first innings. |

Xavi worked quite efficiently and quickly because the certainty of Busquets leaving was final for his decision and of course with Gundogan in their squad it was clear this would have a positive impact.
Gundogan's leadership spirit and calmness need not be questioned even though it is impossible for him to immediately become captain but still with him and the experience he has it is clear that this is very good for Barcelona....
Xavi has a long history with Barcelona and he is also very familiar with the characteristics of his game throughout the game. so when he comes back and tries to fix Barcelona from the bottom he knows quite a lot about what's going on in Barcelona, what needs to be done and also various evaluations for that. we'll see how Barcelona after Ada Xavi they were able to get up and have started to approach Barcelona's very good style of play and won La Liga last season. and this is not easy because we all know that Barcelona competed like that for a few early days so they lacked a lot of points. Actually saying whether he is capable or not in these 2 seasons has been the answer on how he can make Barcelona improve and improve himself has been Xavi's answer even though he did have a few failures such as in the Champions League. Now it's just a matter of how he changes himself for the better because there is still some work he has to do to make Barcelona better this season, especially with conditions where they have to try to be more consistent in a better competition, in this case the Champions League, because if they fail again then this will reap a lot of criticism that is after the previous 2 seasons they failed. For La Liga positions everything will still be the same with the same rivals as Madrid and Atletico and indeed that will not change because the competition in La Liga for the championship position only revolves around these 3 clubs it seems. A lot of people are actually getting impatient with Xavi. But I believe he is actually going to bring good results for Barcelona even in the future and he will also be able to perform well with Barcelona in the Champions League if he is given the time and money. We all know that he’s not going to get a good amount of money because Barcelona cannot afford it right now. But with time I think he will be able to bring in better results. At least far better compared to what the previous coaches of Barcelona were able to bring. I mean he has already proved that he is better by improving Barcelona and also becoming the La Liga champions. I am guessing that the next target is going to be the Champions League title. But I don’t know how realistic that target is going to be. |

And they should because that's a new way for the Poms. They have already tried other things and failed miserably so McCullum is right and that's why he got the job.
I reckon, if they continue with this mindset then they will become a very likable team, saying it because I used to hate this team because of their timid approach but it's changing for good, which is refreshing.
Well. Let's see how the remainder of the series turns out for them. Over-aggression may not work against strong teams such as India and Australia. BTW, their bowling is looking quite weak, apart from Stuart Broad. Anderson is showing signs of ageing, while Robinson and Moeen Ali cracked under pressure during the first test. They need someone who can get the tailenders out quickly. Someone like Mark Wood. I guess he is out due to injury. And this issue is nothing new. Last time when India toured, the England bowlers conceded plenty of runs against the tailend batsmen. Out of all the things that England could have found a problem with, they are actually finding it hard to get the tailenders out. This is actually a little funny  . I also remember that against India, they conceded a lot of brands to 30 lenders. I also remember them giving 35 in one over against Bumrah. Of course, it was not all scored by Bumrah. There surely were a lot of wides and no balls. But they did concede. I think they just need someone who can get the ball into Yorker length. That is certainly going to get the tailenders out. |

It gives you the freedom to define it yourself. If you don't find it useful as a currency, then it's an asset. If you don't think it will be worth it in the long-term, then it's a volatile experiment that can give you short-term profit. If you utilize it to buy stuff from the Internet, it's a currency.
It seems that your thinking is also quite mature in this regard, because I also think that Bitcoin can indeed be considered as an asset and can also be considered as a currency. Because Bitcoin can be brought into an investment which indicates it is an asset and can also be used to buy goods through websites that accept Bitcoin as payment so on the one hand Bitcoin can also be said to be currency. So this actually really depends on where we use the Bitcoin so that we can give birth to these two assumptions through ourselves. Yes, bitcoin is both, but we are looking at it as an asset rather than a currency, and I think in the future, people will also know bitcoin as an asset rather than a currency. I don't think too many people will be willing to spend their bitcoin on regular payments because no one wants to waste an asset that will have a very high value in the future. But bitcoin can also be considered an effective alternative payment method if in case we have problems with fiat while traveling or if we do not have fiat available. Bitcoin is a currency as well as an asset. |

Please share your thoughts about this.
I still believe bitcoin will hit $40k this year, but maybe not this time, but this time I believe it will go further and maybe $32k - $35k before its correction. But honestly, I expect bitcoin to fall more than I hope it will go up because I still want to buy it at a low price rather than a high price. For me, I am not in a hurry about the price going up because sooner or later the bulls will come, it is inevitable. So I will just want to focus on accumulating as many bitcoins as possible. |

Locked the poll as I think we have somewhat captured the ruling 'sentiment of the month' of the people who goes in this thread, which at the first couple weeks of the month, I mostly really agree with...
Now I think sentiment will slowly change to bullish the more BTC claws its way higher and slowly fights its way thru 30k - 32k resistance. If it breaks out, I think we're looking at 36k - 37k resistance next.
Yes, our mentality is changing, the market is greener, definitely, people are becoming more positive. Even though bitcoin has yet to hit $30k, I have seen many optimistic predictions that bitcoin will hit $35k before the end of the month. I never dared to think about it, but I hope like you, we need to break above $30-32k before we can think further. But I also suspect that is highly unlikely, people are excited to see bitcoin recover, but most remain cautious and still don't have any major Fomo to drive greener markets in the coming days. |

Bitcoins are currently at almost 29,000 USD. So yes, we have seen some upward trends right now. This month, this might be the all-time high price for bitcoins. So yes, maybe this time Bitcoins will stop after reaching 35,000 USD. The reason for the recent upward push is not clear, but yes, we can see that there are more buy orders than sell orders on all the exchanges. Let’s not wait any longer and buy as many bitcoins as we can so that we can store and hold them for a long time and make the most profits out of them.
The SEC and Binance have an agreement, many ETFs are waiting for approval, and as mentioned by laurenB7742, a large amount of bitcoin has been bought, all of which are positive things for the price of bitcoin to rise again. Many people fear that this rapid increase will not be sustainable, but I think bitcoin can still break through $30k this time, but to reach $35k as you say is very unlikely. That is not an unattainable high price, but with this news, it is not strong enough to make Fomo cause a surge in the market. No matter how the price goes up, as long as below the old ATH, we shouldn't miss it, let's accumulate as soon as possible. |

I'm quite curious what steps Mendilibar will make in the transfer market later because after all, of course they also have to be able to make sure they don't get messy again in the La Liga standings. Therefore, Mendilibar should prepare his squad even better so that he can compete again in the top four in the La Liga standings. Because regarding Sevilla who will play in the Champions League next season, I personally don't have too much hope because if Sevilla fail to finish in the top two in the group phase later and will only be in third place, then Sevilla will return to play in the Europa League. Therefore, I personally don't have too much hope for Sevilla in the Champions League, but I hope that Mendilibar can form an even better squad to make Sevilla compete again in the top four in the La Liga standings.
Sevilla has to make sure that they start the next season well. In the previous season, they failed to start well. Towards the end, they were able to actually improve and finish towards the middle of the table. But the best achievement from them in the last season was to be able to win the Europa League title. So they have a great season ahead of them. In which they will perform in the Champions League. So the squad has to be made stronger because I am sure that they want to perform well in the Champions League. I don’t think they will be able to win the Champions League. But they will certainly try. They also have to perform better in the La Liga. I think they will be aiming to finish at least in the top six. |

~snip Djokovic' on-grass win rate is at 85.83% and then from the active players who are going to play Wimbledon the next one is Bautista Agut with 69.59%. After that come Gasquet and Kyrgios and considering how strong Djokovic is right now, he is well set to increase his GS title count further this year. I guess only some kind of black out could stop him. as it looks now, this season look as better chance for Djokovic to win all GS's than in 2021, when he lost final to Medvedev at US Open and on Wimbledon, looking at form and participants, he is a main favorite, really can't see who can win over him in London maybe there will be a surprise, but doesn't look were likely to be honest, it is just that he will probably not play any tournament on grass before Wimbledon, but he is experienced enough not to lose in first few rounds, no matter opponent Novak Djokovic is on a good run right now. He is playing really well, and I think we can see that he does not think of himself as an old player. I really liked his idea when he said that 35 is the new 25  . Anyway, I think he is performing really well right now. I also cannot see anyone who will actually be able to beat him. I don’t think there will be any surprises. I understand it is not that easy to predict. Because things can go wrong easily at any moment. But the way he is playing right now it is going to be an educated guess to say that he is going to have a fairly good performance and he is also going to be consistent. |

I'm sure Q3 Bitcoin will go to $ 50k first before another correction, What evidence do you have to confirm or prove what you say? As we all know, predicting the future is impossible and especially for a volatile asset like bitcoin. and 2024 will probably be to $ 65k after that 2025 Bitcoin will be more than $ 150k, hopefully it will happen.
If those are all your hopes and expectations, be optimistic and believe in your goals. But don't claim anything if you don't have proof or are talking about the future. yes, I don't claim it but I'm optimistic about it, look at this time good news one by one appears and that's good, moreover the price of Bitcoin also rebounded from $ 25k to $ 26k, even though it went up $ 1000 I think that's a good start. I like people who are optimistic in investing. But we also need to be realistic, not too dreamy, because that won't make us any better. Sometimes we put our hopes up too much, and if it doesn't go as we expected, we despair, and that's not good. Bitcoin price rising and falling $1k or $3k is normal and can be said to happen daily. That is not a positive signal that the market will recover soon. Again, I just want to say, we should be realistic and always have a backup plan because the market is unpredictable. Don't be too pessimistic but also don't be overly optimistic, always face what is happening. |

Match is getting more interesting as Australia have lost the second wicket. Khawaja as usual does his role, earlier Warner lost his wicket to Robinson and now Labuschagne have lost his wicket to Stuart Board. Both the wickets were caught by Bairstow. We can see the Australia into pressure as the team surely have the plan of ending the day without any wicket fall. Already two wickets fallen and the final day's opening session will have few wickets. Same as the first match id they allow Khawaja to score then this is going to be difficult for England to record its win. At the end of day four, I still think Australia is in a good position to win. Australia need 174 to win and they have a whole day to get that. They also have seven wickets in hand. I believe that is enough. Unless England gets some quick wickets at the start of the fifth day, I don’t think Australia is going to face too much problems. Khawaja is still there in the middle for Australia. He is also set. But we all know that start of a new day can actually cause problems for any batsman. I will say that Australia is going to win if there is no rain interruption. But at this moment it seems like 55-45 in favour of Australia. |
