Although Real Madrid has better players, I doubt they will perform well if Real Madrid fail to sign Mbappe. I know Real Madrid already signed Joselu, but I think his quality isn't enough to compete with Barcelona. If we compare Lewandowski quality and Joselu, everyone must be aware that Lewandowski is 1 level above Joselu.

Lewandowski still performed with his best, people who doubted him may not know him well. Although Lewandowski is no longer a young player, it is not a problem as long as he is still productive. We know that Ronaldo still played well when he is in the same age with Lewandowski. I think Lewandowski can play well in the next 2 years.

I think Mbappe can move to Real Madrid if he doesn't extend his contract with PSG. I'm sure PSG will try to sell him as soon as possible in the current transfer window. They already try to get his replacement, you must hear that PSG is trying to sign Harry Kane. This is a sign that Mabppe may leave PSG in the near future.

I don't know why Inter Milan prefer to choose Morata or Balogun. In my opinion, Lukaku is much better and more productive than Morata or Balogun. Lukaku already played in Inter Milan for a few years, he doesn't need to adapt with Inter squad anymore. Lukaku also proved that he is a good striker and can be a machine goal for Inter Milan, he already scored some goals since he played in Inter Milan. Actually, it is a bit confusing why Inter Milan doesn't want to sign Lukaku.

Anyway, I am not familiar with Balogun. Although he can score 21 goals in Ligue 1, I am not sure he will easily score many goals in Serie A. The level of Ligue 1 and Serie A is different, he also needs to adapt with Inter play of style.

It is true, trading or investing in Bitcoin isn't like gambling. It requires sufficient knowledge and experience although it also needs a strong mentality. But in Bitcoin trading/investment, we can't rely on the luck. It is much different with gambling that mostly relies on the luck. We probably fail in Bitcoin trading/investment if we have no skills, good understanding, analysis, and proper strategy. All of these things can only be obtained if we have adequate knowledge. No profits without knowledge and experience, it is what we must understand in Bitcoin trading/investment. While in gambling, we can play the games although we have zero knowledge about it. There are gambling games that we call as luck-based games, everyone can play the games. Even in skilled-based games, the luck still has a big role in gambling.

Selamat kepada @komisariatku, @ndutndut, @Ryu_Ar1, @zaim7413, @armanda90 dan @puloweh yang sudah berhasil mencapai peringkat barunya. Semoga makin banyak member-member Indonesia yang termotivasi dan bisa terus konsisten meramaikan SFI. Sekali lagi ini membuktikan bahwa merit itu bukan hal yang rumit dan naik rank itu bukan sesuatu yang sulit. Selama ada usaha, pasti akan ada sebuah kesuksesan.

Boleh atau tidaknya tentu agan harus konsultasi dulu ke OP nya (Om @roycilik). Tapi kalau berdasarkan deskripsi di halaman awal, thread ini dibuat secara khusus untuk melist member-member SFI yang naik peringkat. Tujuannya untuk memotivasi dan memberi apresiasi ke pada member-member SFI. Sepertinya tidak ada tujuannya untuk count-down next rank level. Setau saya, untuk count-down ini sudah ada threadnya di global.

This is something that we often discuss. Sure, it is better to limit the amount of money to avoid gambling excessively. The ideal of gambling budget may be different among people, but personally I also never use more than 5% of my weekly income. That's because I don't gamble daily, I just gamble when I have spare time. I assume people who gamble on daily basis can spend more money. They can use more than 30% if they don't limit the budget for gambling weekly.

When players are getting older and may retire soon, I think they won't miss a chance to play in the best place where he can still play regularly and get good amount of money. In many cases, if the old players stay in Europe, they probably get a lower salary and smaller chance to play regularly. Most clubs will prioritize the players with ideal ages, the players who are above 35 like Ronaldo will be no longer the priority. Everyone must remember that Ronaldo became rarely play when he was still in Man United. It also experienced by other old players, they are not in a good situation. Now, Saudi offers interesting chance for them, we can't blame them if they move to SPL (Saudi Pro League).

People who made negative comments never understand the players. They only see it from their own perspective, they don't try to understand from the player's own perspective. I think they are no longer fans when they criticize too much the players, they became haters. Fans never act like haters, they mustn't spread negativity.

OP already stated it that it is a global issue, check again on the thread.
Anyway, food crisis is happening, you must understand that it already started since the pandemic happened a few years ago. This problem is complicated since there are many factors that also contribute to lead on the food crisis. Not only about the impact of pandemic or natural disasters, the political issues among the countries also worsen the food crisis. When there is a bad relationship among the countries in the world, it will be difficult to import some foods. Not every country can fulfill certain foods themselves, they sometime depend on other countries to fulfill it. I assume the food crisis can be easier to handle if all the countries in the world can cooperate together.

It is the same as gold. When it is found the first time, it is used for ornamental. But as time goes by, people used gold for a payment tool and then used it for an investment, too. That's because gold value is increasing, people know they can take advantage from the growth of the value. However, is this wrong? No, it is not the wrong decision made by people, the function of gold can be varied due to the improvement of its adoption. It is something that happened in Bitcoin as well. Since the value is increasing, it can be also used for an investment. People adopt it for their digital asset because they know the benefits. Sure, Satoshi never said "investment" as Bitcoin function on the white paper because it is not the main function. It can be a digital asset (investment) due to its additional function on its adoption.

As long as there is a significant increase in its value, it deserves to call as an investment. The price fluctuation indicates a potential price increase. So, it is very a clear sign that price is never stable. Bitcoin price is volatile, that's why people prefer to use it as a digital investment than to use it as a payment tool.

I believe there will be no reappearance of Satoshi.
Satoshi wants crypto be decentralized, it means to have no someone or an institution as the regulator. Even if he is still alive, I assume he will remain hide his real identity forever.

IMO/CMIIW

Harry Kane doesn't need to troll Tottenham, it may harm his career. If he performs badly, how if no longer club interested to sign him? He is almost 30 years old, it is not the age for speculating about his career. If he is decreasing his performance, it can be a reason for the club to lower his salary significantly. Even if he leaves Tottenham, his new club may offer a smaller salary. IMO, what he can do is to refuse his contract extension. In this way, Tottenham has no choice, they must sell him as soon as possible.

Well, it is not the right way to decrease his performance. It will drop his market value, those club interested in him probably change their mind and move their target to other strikers.

It is pre season match and Man United didn't play against a big team. So, we can understand if Ten Hag gave more opportunities for young players. Man United doesn't need to force their main squad to play. However, I was still surprised that Varane and Martinez became the starters. Leeds United didn't put their main squad, too. I think it is better to put Maguire and Lindelof as the starters. 

Regarding Mount, it was enough for him to play 45 minutes. Sure, he played quite well although he didn't contribute significantly for Man United. He needs more time to adapt with Man United tactics and the characteristics of all players.

Agree. We can't avoid banks, they help us a lot for any transaction purpose. Sure, we are difficult to convert our crypto assets to fiats if we have no bank accounts. I regularly withdraw my profits to my account banks, I can instantly get the money from ATM and use the money for any purposes. Without bank account, I think it will be harder to convert crypto profits to fiats.

Indeed. That's why don't keep all our wealth on banks. We can put some our wealth on golds, lands, property, and even crypto coins.

Agan bisa lihat persentase turunnya harga XRP. Kalau memang yakin dengan XRP, agan bisa nyicil selama musim bearish. Toh harganya masih drop jauh, masih di atas minus 75%. Jika ada dump harga XRP, ente bisa mulai nyicil.

Berapapun referensi yang ente baca, tidak akan ada petunjuk untuk entry di rate tertentu. Ente tentukan sendiri kira-kira bagusnya entry di rate berapa.

Tentu ada pengaruhnya. Setelah sebelumnya ada good news terkait XRP mendapat lisensi untuk beroperasi di Singapura, saat ini kita tau jika akhirnya Ripple menang atas tuntutan SEC. Melalu sidang pengadilan, diputuskan jika pihak Ripple tidak bersalah.

Naiknya lebih dari 75% hari ini. Dengan putusan ini, holder XRP bisa lega dan optimis untuk ATH XRP di next bullrun season.

You must know yourself why you need to gamble. If you have no reason to gamble, you don't need to try gambling. Not everyone should gamble, people gamble on their own accord. The common reasons are for entertainment (having fun) and for earning money.

If you have no money, how do you gamble?
Although you can gamble with any amount of money but it requires money for sure. However, you don't need to force yourself to gamble if you have very limited amount of money. People gamble with their spare money, the money that they afford to lose. Don't use the money that you allocate for you daily needs.

Yep. Bayern already made 2 offers, they are very serious to sign Harry Kane. But I heard that PSG also joined the competition to sign Harry Kane as well. So, Bayern Munich must offer more money if they really want Harry Kane. Tottenham may increase Kane's price if there are more clubs interested in Harry Kane. Regarding Real Madrid, they may be no longer interested in Harry Kane because they assume Kane's price is too expensive. Harry Kane is no longer young, Real Madrid may think he doesn't deserve to have a price more than €90m. Tottenham probably sets a minimum price around €100m if Bayern and PSG are competing for Harry Kane.

By the way, Mbappe is very possible to move to Real Madrid. He doesn't want to extend his contract. While PSG doesn't want him to move for free in 2024. Mbappe must leave PSG now if PSG wants to get money for his transfer fees.

Vote all the options below 60k (30k, 40k, 50k).
Or you can request to OP to add a new option.  

Agree. The price seems to not above 60k. Since Bitcoin price looks very difficult to increase quickly, we can assume the price won't move significantly from the current price. We are in July, the end of this year is only 5 months left. I'm not sure if Bitcoin can increase more than 20k in the next 5 months. I predict the maximum price is just about 40k-45k.

Sure, everyone may have own trading strategy because everyone has a different style and goal in trading. Some people trade daily, they want faster profits. While others may not trade daily and don't hurry to take profits. So, their goals and style are not the same, they need a different strategy.

By the way, it is true that a certain strategy may work effectively with us. But it may not work effectively to other people. However, I don't think there is a strategy that can harm people as long as the people know well their goal.

Harusnya seperti itu, cari tau apa yang mungkin menjadi mood booster untuk terus konsiten. Kalau saya, punya target tertentu supaya moodnya bisa terus bertahan dan tidak mudah bosan di forum. Betul, belajar crypto tidak harus melulu di forum, ada banyak sumber lain. Saat ini ada banyak artikel atau video yang membahas hal-hal terkait crypto, kita bisa pelajari secara otodidak jika tidak ingin belajar melalui senior atau yang sudah berpengalaman. Atau jika punya senior yang bisa menjadi sumber belajar, itu malah lebih bagus lagi karena belajarnya bisa dua arah. Saya juga dulu punya senior di forum yang sempat menjadi sumber belajar saya, hanya saja dia sudah tidak ada lagi di forum.

Kalau hanya sekedar untuk post rutin tiap hari, bisa pilih topiknya yang menurut agan menarik atau mudah untuk dikomentari. Harusnya ada topik yang bisa agan komen, toh ada banyak sekali topik di forum ini, tidak hanya di board lokal kita tok. Atau agan cek post agan sebelumnya, barangkali ada balasan dari member lain. Agan bisa komen balasan dari orang lain ke post agan sebelumnya.

Kalau belum sanggup post rutin, mending jangan dulu join sigcamp. Kalau sudah join sigcamp, post rutin sudah menjadi tanggung jawab. Jangan sampai nantinya malah menjadi beban, bukan menjadi motivasi.

If you follow the current news about Mbappe, only Real Madrid that is really serious to sign him. It is true that he is one of the most expensive players in the world, so not many clubs that have the ability to sign him. Real Madrid actually ever changed their target, they ever tried to sign Harry Kane. But it failed, now they focus to sign Mbappe again. I think Real Madrid assume Mbappe is the ideal striker to replace Benzema's role. What I heard that Real Madrid already got a personal agreement with Mbappe. The problem is about the transfer fees, PSG wants a huge amount of money. I don't think PSG should increase again Mbappe's price because his contract is almost over.

Why are you confused? Signing a superstar like Mbappe isn't as easy as signing an average player. I think people know it very well, fans should wait for patiently. Anyway, you must realize that the rumors make Mbappe's transfer to be more interesting, right?  

You must know that Harry Kane ever tried to leave Tottenham to Man City previously. Unfortunately, he failed because Tottenham didn't want to sell him. After that, he became have no motivation to play in Tottenham. He has the intention to play again when Tottenham hired Conte. But now, Conte has left Tottenham. Harry Kane's contract is also almost over, it expires in 2024. So, he actually has some reasons to leave Tottenham now. I don't think he will stay in Tottenham. If he doesn't leave Tottenham in the current transfer window, he may leave for free in 2024.

Indeed, he already played in Tottenham for a long time. He already showed his loyalty to the club. Now, it is time to focus on his future, achieve a better career in a new club.

I'm sure he can play with his best until 35 years old. Harry Kane has no much issue on his fitness, he rarely got a serious injured. So, it is very possible that he can follow Messi or Ronaldo.

Yep, I also guess it, he actually referred to Bayern Munich.

Anyway, Harry Kane is one of the top strikers in the world and he is very experienced. His contract is almost over (June 30, 2024), that attracts some big teams to try signing him. Also, the chance for Harry Kane to leave is higher because he ever tried to leave Tottenham. Sadly, it is always difficult for him to leave because Tottenham management always tries hard to keep him. They set a non sense price for Harry Kane, so those clubs interested in Harry Kane are a bit doubtful since it is overprice. Harry Kane is almost 30 years old, his price should be not as expensive as in the last transfer window.

He is rumored to join Bayern Munich or Real Madrid. But I think Bayern Munich has a bigger chance to sign him because Real Madrid is focusing on signing Mbappe from PSG.
