Arsenal are playing well in the Champions League, and I don’t think they will lose their game against Bayern Munich, as both of them have almost the same performance. If they meet in the Champions League, the game will likely end in a draw. However, we don’t know what will happen for now, as we don’t know if either of the teams might be affected by injuries in their domestic league before their meeting. So, we have to wait and see how the game will go and what the situation of both teams will be before we decide who will win. For now, their performance is almost the same.
I don't think so. We saw Munich's performance against PSG. PSG performed well, but Bayern Munich won the match. Bayern Munich's overall performance is very strong now. Also , Kompany's match strategy is quite good. More importantly , the team is not dependent on any specific player. I know that Arsenal is performing very well. The team is at the top of the Premier league table. Arsenal has won all four matches in the Champions League. But the most important thing is that Arsenal has not conceded a goal in the champions league yet. Without a doubt, their performance is very good. Even then , I would say that it will not be possible for Arsenal to win against munich. Munich's defense is strong, and the attacking players are also in good form. My prediction will be that this match wil l be a goalless draw. |

In reality money and power which shows the true color of a man? Although this is a very simple topic but there is a more meaning to it as I have seen something which I can't believe with my eyes, that propelled me to come create this topic which I would want us to throw more light on it, to know the one that really shows the true nature of a man.
Your inputs are indeed needed as I would want us to discuss this amicable.
Money is everything. What is power? Shoulder straps or subordinates? What's the point of commanding someone if you don't have money? And money is most important. It's true that you need to have a good record with the tax authorities, because large sums of money withdrawn from a card are problems that can make the situation so dire that the poor are better off. Therefore, you need to quietly earn legal income and have a stash of a fat wad of dollars to make life a little more peaceful. How do you explain presidents like Trump, Biden, although they are not richer than billionaires like Elon, Mark and many other Americans, but they have enough power to order or do something to anyone they want? In this case, is money or power greater? Also, do you see Trump using his power to help his family make money from crypto? That is the power of power. Among US presidents, Trump is probably the richest with a fortune of billions of dollars, but other presidents are not that rich. Most of their assets are only a few million dollars like Barack Obama or Joe Biden. But they were once the most powerful people and could do many things that many billionaires could not do. As many others have pointed out, money and power go hand in hand and are closely related. They are almost inseparable. |

$150k is not that high and completely possible. Current price sitting at $110k and only need $40k, that's less than 40% of gain to get there and one big rally is all its needed to reach that new ATH.
But it will only work when market is very bullish. Whatever narrative gonna come in this last leg of this year, it's better be phenomenal so we can reach that target ASAP.
You don't see that target as high because you're still relying on the past and thinking bitcoin will always be able to grow exponentially. You still haven't come to terms with reality and accepted bitcoin is no longer small. Because in reality, growing 40% in less than 2 months with an asset with a market cap of 2 trillion is not easy. Even if we have a very optimistic scenario, a 40% increase is not a number that can be easily achieved in about 54 days. $150k used to be considered a modest and achievable goal, but given the current situation, we should lower our expectations to be more realistic. |

So, I think if we agree and have no problem with people investing through ETFs, centralized institutions like MSTR by holding their stocks instead of directly holding bitcoin. We should also not be upset when banks enter the market and people invest through them. In fact, I believe that investing in bitcoin through a bank is much safer than holding shares of companies like MSTR.
I agree, it's 2-way round for each of us. The banks do what they have to do and us, we invest where we want to invest. But both of us are meeting in the middle and not taking it for granted if it's about bitcoin. We all hold it and keep for the long term and that's what they're doing as well. They don't waste their time into any of those dips because they continue to buy. But it seems this time that MSTR is missing it and they haven't done any action yet about any purchase when the market suddenly made a huge dip.Because MSTR doesn’t have available money, most of the money they use to invest in bitcoin comes from raising capital by issuing bonds. But their stock price has dropped significantly by about 46% since its peak as well as bitcoin has been quite stagnant over the past few months. I guess this also made investors a bit nervous, making MSTR's fundraising not go smoothly. If you notice they have also bought bitcoin twice recently but in much smaller amounts than before. Not only MSTR, bitcoin demand from institutions is also decreasing, some are even selling because the company is in trouble.  Source: x.com and bitcointreasuries.net |

If we talk about real estate its hard for us to dispose it when we need immediate funds for emergency purposes since we need to find buyers that have interest to buy our properties that's why this is not good investment if we talk about best asset that easy to dispose.
Real estate is a poorly liquid because it takes a long time to sell, but that doesn't make it less attractive. Real estate is still a potential and safe investment in the long term. Gold is good option to knowing that we can easily sell it anywhere. Gold is the most liquid of the three assets, with liquidity on major exchanges like COMEX and LBMA reaching $200 billion/day. Not to mention selling physical gold is extremely quick and easy anywhere in the world. But talking about those volatile movement of Bitcoin I think its given already that it move that way. Everything is unpredictable that's why people need to understand how to deal with it so they won't experience bad taste when they are in this investment. Also people should consider to have emergency funds so whatever problem occurs they won't think about touching their BTC and other investment since they have other source of funds for those immediate matters.
In all fairness, bitcoin is not like the other two assets, gold and real estate are top safe investments. Meanwhile, bitcoin is still a speculative asset so it has higher volatility and better profit potential. However, high returns come with high risks, so careful planning is needed before investing in bitcoin. |

Bitcoin is indeed the only means of transaction in the financial sector that does not require a third party but the problem is that it is not used that way. Bitcoin is only used as an investment and store of value. Or is it being held largely by centralized institutions, and even many bitcoin users are storing their bitcoins using third party centralized services. Meanwhile, his purpose in creating it was to use it as a peer to peer payment method, and not depend on a third party. Based on his original intentions, Bitcoin has not yet succeeded and is still far from the kind of success.
Your point is exactly right although Bitcoin was first made as person to person digital cash system that does not need banks, it is not used in that way by most of people now. Instead of this, it is mostly seen as long term investment or digital gold. Another way in which many users go against first idea is holding their Bitcoin at centralized companies other than keeping it on their own. Due to this, one can say that Bitcoin has not been successful in its first goal as daily payment tool, despite it being extremely successful investment thing. We are not Satoshi, we cannot know what he is thinking and feeling with what bitcoin has become today. But if we rely on his original intentions as presented in the bitcoin whitepaper or in his previous conversations on the forum. Bitcoin has deviated from his original vision, so we cannot say that bitcoin has been successful. To me, those who say Satoshi must be very happy and satisfied with what bitcoin has achieved. They’re really just expressing their own thoughts and feelings as bitcoin investors. They don't really try to put themselves in his shoes or recall his original vision. |

Actually PSG played quite well and they played the ball throughout the game, they controlled the ball very skillfully but they were very difficult to build attacks in the Bayern Munich defense that had been set up by PSG Companym to get a goal but it was ruled out for offside and once again the mistakes made by PSG players in their defense took too long to play the ball so that it was stolen by Diaz and became the second goal for Bayern Munich.
I am satisfied with PSG's performance. PSG played well but Bayern munich were very tactical. When a team like Munich plays defensively , it is naturally very difficult to score against them. There is no doubt that Munich played well in the first half. The first half was very competitive. We saw a lot of attacks from both teams. Luis Diaz scored two goals in just 32 minutes, which gave Bayern munich a 2- 0 lead. And even then, Munich's defensive gameplay started. Bayern munich did not try to attack much in the second half. Munich's players only had 2 shots in the second half. In the second half, we only saw PSG's dominance. |

 After performing well in the T20 series against Bangladesh, West Indies are playing the first T20 match of the series against New Zealand today. The match is being held in Auckland. West Indies are now batting after losing the toss. We have seen West Indies win all three T20 matches of the series against Bangladesh. But it is not possible to get such a result against New Zealand. The New Zealand team is strong. New Zealand also has a stronger batting order than Bangladesh. So chances of West Indies winning are less. West Indies lost a wicket in the first over and managed to collect 4 runs. Brandon King returned to the dressing room with just 3 runs. West Indies will not be able to provide a big target if they lose such quick wickets. |

Arsenal are in their prime and are trying to make everyone understand, when they come across teams of that kind like Svlavia Prague they will demolish them, clearly this is something that everyone is thinking and the outcome will be a foregone conclusion, it is clear that this must happen, to solidify the reality that Arsenal is at this moment
Nobody is saying much about the Arsenal match against SK Slavia Prague, undoubtedly Arsenal will beat them by many goals, scoring against Arsenal in the game should be their biggest headache, on the other side if they can stop Arsenal attack or when it comes to set pieces, it becomes an advantage. Arsenal will win the match, but I don't think they will win by a big margin. Slavia Praha is a relatively weak team, but there is no way to underestimate them. They have drawn two of their three Champions League matches. Slavia Praha has shared points with Bodo/Glimt and Atalanta. Arsenal are in their best form this season. Their performance in both the Champions League and the Premier League is very good. However, if they don't perform carefully, they also have the possibility of losing points. Don't forget that this is Slavia Praha's home match. And any team at home can be terrible at any time. Arsenal players need to be alert and give their full effort to win. |

With rising interest rates, housing bubbles, and alternative assets like crypto and gold gaining popularity, can real estate still be considered the ultimate safe haven?
Every investment has it own risk, their is no investment without it own risk that is why before going into any investment you have to understand it's risk. Even bitcoin that is considered as one of the best investment their is no guarantee of it being a free risk investment and that is why people who dont understand its risk and think it is a safe heaven investment always fall victim to its risk . All you consider as asset with increasing interest doesn't mean they have no risk. You are right, every investment has its own risks, no investment is safe without risk. But I disagree with you in saying that bitcoin is the best investment. Bitcoin is just the most profitable investment, not the best and safest of the three. The higher the profit, the greater the risk and vice versa, that is the immutable law of the financial market and Bitcoin is no exception. No investment is best for everyone, and it will depend on the individual. The best investment is the one that best suits our circumstances, and each person will have different needs, finances and preferences. |

During the COVID-19 around February 2020, bitcoin began to experience a steady and sustainable rise in price as a result of the inflow of transaction activities. Cryptocurrencies vs Other Markets During COVID The cryptocurrency markets outperformed most stocks during 2020, generally speaking. This anomaly is explained primarily by the year-end surge of crypto, while many of the main blue-chip shares were still struggling. It’s fair to say that during the bulk of the COVID-19 crisis, the virtual currencies did better because people see them as an alternative way to shelter wealth, particularly in bad or uncertain times. In recent history, there have been no more uncertain months than those that began in March of 2020. If I remember correctly bitcoin and the entire stock market crashed when the covid pandemic hit and froze the economy. Bitcoin price dropped from $12k to $4k in a very short period of time. Then BTC only really started to recover and grow when the Fed cut interest rates to zero and along with other central banks pumped trillions to save the economy. During the same period, the stock market also recovered and grew no less than cryptocurrencies. Do you think the price of bitcoin would increase if the government did not pump money into the economy? Definitely not, so it would be incorrect to say that bitcoin is safe in times of crisis. Bitcoin was not a safe haven then and it is not now, it remains a speculative asset. If another crisis happens, it will still be dumped along with the stocks. |

Ten Hag failed completely at Manchester United, and he also failed at Leverkusen and was fired by Leverkusen.
With the squad he had at Manchester United, Ten Hag couldn't do anything, let alone with the disorganized squad he has at Wolves. But at Wolves, the target is certainly different; the target is simply to avoid relegation.
Ten Hag failed with Manchester United and Leverkusen. These two teams will want to dominate the Premier League and Bundesliga. At the same time, they will fight to qualify for the Champions League. Ten Hag failed with both clubs. He could not meet the expectations of the fans. However, the scenario with Wolves is different. Wolves will not fight for the title. If the overall performance can be kept somewhat stable and they can qualify for the Premier League, the Wolves management will be happy. I think ten Hag will be able to do well with Wolves. Because WOlves do not have high expectations. |

With 11 matches remaining in La Liga, Real Madrid leads the table. They lost against Atletico Madrid and haven't dropped any other points. They've won their remaining ten matches and have 30 points. Barcelona is in second place, with the Catalans second on 25 points. Villarreal and Atletico are in third and fourth. The competition in Spain is heating up, and it's clear Real Madrid won't be dropping points easily. Let's see who wins the league title at the end of the season and whether Real Madrid can increase their points lead.
The title fight has become quite crowded. We also see better performances from Villarreal and Atletico madrid. Atletico Madrid and Villarreal have 22 and 23 points respectively. Real madrid is ahead of barcelona by 5 points. And the overall performance of the team is quite stable. We also saw Real Madrid play well against barcelona and they won. 5 point difference is big enough. As madrid's performances have been very stable and consistent , it will be much more difficult for Barcelona to close this point gap. Madrid also won the last match with a big margin of 4 - 0 against Valencia. |

Banks have to accept Bitcoin when they see that many people are migrating from banks to Bitcoin blockchain. With Bitcoin blockchain and Bitcoin non custodial wallets, people can have their own banks and it's a very big risk against traditional banks.
Hence, to survive, traditional banks must change themselves and open their bank gates for Bitcoin users. They do it as one of changes for adapting well enough to Bitcoin era as Bitcoin will continue its thrive without banks while banks know that they only get more benefit by providing Bitcoin-related products for people.
Years since 2009 Bitcoin Genesis Block, there is Bitcoin snowball effects so that banks can not stay against Bitcoin forever.
Have you seen any banks closing or going bankrupt in your country because of the growth of bitcoin? Although many people are starting to use Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, they are only using them as an investment tool, not many are using them to store their assets. At the end of the day, many of us will also convert our bitcoins to fiat once we reach our profit goals. Not to mention, has anyone become a bitcoin user and then deleted their bank account? I guess no one would dare do that. So for me, banks accept bitcoin because they see the returns it can bring, not because they are afraid. The world still needs banks more than bitcoin, that's the truth. |

From an experimental whitepaper to a trillion-dollar asset class — has Bitcoin gone beyond even Satoshi’s imagination?
My guess is he could have never imagined that the project would become so successful.
I think we are just seeing the success of Satoshi's plan. At a time when we could not find any means of transaction in the financial world without a third party, Satoshi has created something that the world has never imagined. His plan certainly indicates that he is trying to implement what we cannot imagine. I will not say that his plan with Bitcoin has been successful, but it is moving towards success and he will definitely succeed. What is important to me now is that Satoshi may not have imagined that people would accept Bitcoin as a symbol of their trust so quickly. Bitcoin is indeed the only means of transaction in the financial sector that does not require a third party but the problem is that it is not used that way. Bitcoin is only used as an investment and store of value. Or is it being held largely by centralized institutions, and even many bitcoin users are storing their bitcoins using third party centralized services. Meanwhile, his purpose in creating it was to use it as a peer to peer payment method, and not depend on a third party. Based on his original intentions, Bitcoin has not yet succeeded and is still far from the kind of success. |

Currently the price of gold has increased so much that it is not something to be disbelieved. But Bitcoin has become more popular over the years and governments in various states are legislating to use Bitcoin. Since gold was the most recharge during World War II and has been used the most. So many people prefer gold over Bitcoin nowadays. But as a digital currency I would prefer Bitcoin more. Because if my next generation holds Bitcoin as a reserve, the money will be the most secure and will allow me to own more wealth later on. But keeping gold as a reserve is not bad. If Bitcoin is used as Reserve. Then the next generation should be alert and fully informed about it. If not, it may cause damage.
I would say, to be safe and secure, for me, it is still best to invest in tangible assets if you are looking for long-term. It can include real-estate or precious gems. Fo4 btc or other crypto, you cant have an assurance that it can sustain its market for years and years. You are right, although we are bitcoin investors and always expect it to be the best asset, we should not deny that in terms of safety and security, physical assets are always a much better choice. That is why despite the potential of bitcoin and other digital assets, central banks still have faith in gold. I don't even think this mindset will change anytime soon in the next few decades or in our generation. Right now bitcoin is considered untouchable but look at how amazing the world technology sector is growing. There is no guarantee bitcoin can maintain that invulnerability for decades to come. It is too early and hasty to assert that bitcoin will be safe in the next 100 years. So not too bad for those who want to hold bitcoin for the next generation, but diversification is necessary. Don’t be complacent and assume Bitcoin will last for centuries and go all in on it. |

Seems like this match will go down to the wire and it is not possible to predict who will be the winner. Slowly and steadily the South African team are moving towards the target. They have lost three wickets for 117 runs. Tazmin Brits was bit unfortunate that she was run out. That was when they lost the opening partnership that was looking threatening.
The problem now with South African is that they need to again build a partnership. Also, Laura Wolvaardt is batting on 62, and she needs to bat till the end if they are to chase this total.
Marizanne Kapp failed to bat well in today's important match. She returned to the dressing room after scoring just 4 runs. Kapp definitely needed to play a big innings in today's match. At the moment, there is a lot of pressure on the South Africa women's team. South Africa lost 4 wickets in 25 overs and managed to collect 128 runs. Anyway, opener Laura Wolvaardt is playing well. She is still unbeaten with 67 runs from 60 balls. South africa will have to collect 171 runs in 25 overs. They will have to collect about 7 runs per over. If South Africa does not lose any wicket in the next 10 overs, then South Africa will win this match. But if South Africa also loses Laura Wolvaardt's wicket, then they will be under more pressure. The match is gradually becoming more exciting. |

Newcastle is getting it hot from Westhamammers. I doubt they will be able to build a castle at London Stadium today. The recent score is WHU 2:1 NEW.
Both teams are putting up a good fight, at the same time Westham needs this win to close the gap between them and Burnley in the bottom of the table. However, i am more interested in watching Manchester City vs Bournemouth today. Both teams are intriguing and I hoping Manchester City can win, due to the fact that they are in for the title race and needs to be closer to Arsenal.
After a long time we saw a great performance from West ham. West ham have lost in the last four matches. And this was West ham's second win this season. West ham played very well in today's home match and they deserve all 3 points in this match. A total of 15 shots were made by westham players. Of these , 9 were on target. Despite only 38 % of the ball possession, they were able to create a lot of attacking opportunities. The first goal of the match was scored by newcastle. They took the lead in just 4 minutes. But at the end of the first half we saw West ham leading 2-1. And in the end West ham won the match 3 -1. Even after winning this match, West Ham is still in the relegation zone. |

Those who invest in Bitcoin through banks don't actually own anything. The banks will be the true owners of Bitcoin, and there won't be any difference because banks can freeze any user's Bitcoin and prevent them from making any transactions.
Like people who invest in bitcoin through ETFs, they don't actually own bitcoin. But as we have seen, the money flowing into the market through ETFs is many times larger than the amount of money that direct investors who own bitcoin like us have. This shows that people don't really care about the decentralized nature of bitcoin nor about owning real bitcoins. So, I think if we agree and have no problem with people investing through ETFs, centralized institutions like MSTR by holding their stocks instead of directly holding bitcoin. We should also not be upset when banks enter the market and people invest through them. In fact, I believe that investing in bitcoin through a bank is much safer than holding shares of companies like MSTR. |

As you may have noticed, there is no single CBDC project has been proven successful til now. All the projects are still concepts under review. The ECB won't jump alone in this new concept that no one can predict its side effects to his financial economy as a whole. They simply had to ignore it or just announce they abandon the project, but they postponed it far in time to wait for what will happen in the future.
Well, I'm pretty sure that several CBDCs have already been launched, but they haven't been successful. The one that comes to mind is Nigeria's e-Naira. From $10 Million Transactions to Zero: What Lessons Can Be Learned from eNaira’s FailureDid you forget China? They have been rolling out CBDC since 2019 and so far things are going pretty well. According to the news, the project has been moved from the pilot phase to widespread deployment. As of now, they have been deployed in 29 major cities and more than 260 million wallets have been created and can be used for payments in most areas. China's CBDC is considered the most advanced and successful today. Also, based on my research, the ECB is just delaying and they just want things to be more prepared and perfect. They are extremely serious about their digital euro project and see it as a strategic card to counter the US GENIUS Act because they fear it will weaken the euro's position. |
