Benzema is still the main striker and i dont think even if they were intrested that Kane would just leave like that and move to Real Madrid to be a second striker and be a lot of the times on the bench. He is closer to Bayern Munich ,but i think in this transfer window nothing will happen regarding him.
Sure. When Real Madrid makes a serious offer to a top striker like Harry Kane, they must plan him to be the main striker. Real Madrid must know that Harry Kane won't accept the offer if he will be a substituted striker in Real Madrid. Harry Kane is a top and experienced striker, he needs to play regularly and be the main striker in his club. Regarding his rumor to move to Bayern Munich, I rarely heard the rumor lately. I guess Bayern Munich isn't interested with his expensive price.

As reported by Transfermarkt, Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Memphis Depay from Barcelona. Of course this is not without reason after Joao Felix was loaned to Chelsea, of course Diego Simione is looking for new players to replace Joao Felix in their attack line. While Memphis Depay rarely gets minutes to play at Barcelona, this will be a serious consideration between players and teams.
As long as Barcelona doesn't sign a new striker, I doubt they want to let Depay move to Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona only has 2 strikers (Lewandowski and Depay). If Depay leaves Barcelona, they will be in a crisis of strikers. Xavi won't let a crisis happen in Barcelona attacking line.

Why do you think women are very familiar in playing the role of spending in the family or life? I even very rarely find women who can save money at this time in my environment now. And even every expense is always well managed by her own husband. This means that it is not only about gender that can play an important role in saving for their own family, but it really depends on each individual who wants to save money in difficult conditions.
Indeed. Not only a wife, a husband also has the ability to manage the funds for spending. However, in my country, a wife has a responsibility to manage the funds because he knows more about the necessities. Also, the husband already feels tired to work and get money, it is time for the wife to take the role of managing the money. Both wife and husband have their own responsibilities and have their own roles. It is normal if husband and wife divide specific tasks in the household. So, none who runs all the tasks.

I believe anyone can be familiar with the role as long as he/she wants to learn about it. It is surely not about gender, but it is about how the intention to learn it.

There maybe some addicts whose recovery rate is much faster than the others. Things that they do can contribute with it eg. doing mental exercise, regular exercise, eating the right foods and praying. Once cured, I don't suggest that they must be exposed on gambling-related stuffs. We don't want to waste the time they spent on recovering plus we can still live normally and happily even without gambling.
Indeed. There are addicts who can recover faster. It depends on the addiction level (mild addiction or severe addiction). For mild addiction, it can recover fast. While for severe addiction, it probably takes a lot of time to recover. In this level, the addicts can't separate gambling habits. They cannot stop gambling temporarily. They feel that gambling is a part of their life already. So, we must wake them up, recover their mindset, and adjust their daily activities. It is not easy, it requires a certain approach and takes much time.

When they are recovered, it depends on them. They can leave gambling totally, or stay gambling with a proper way. But for people who are afraid to experience addiction again, I support the idea to leave totally. I personally assume that gambling is only for people who have a good self-control and know their limits (funds, time).

I recently made some money through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, and I'm considering using it to purchase some Bitcoin. Only a tiny sum, roughly $800, is involved. What do you suggest doing right now? Purchase some Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency with a promising future.
You have answered your own question. You said you considered buying Bitcoin, didn't you? So, just go on with Bitcoin.  Wink
You must know that Bitcoin is the safest coin for crypto investment. Bitcoin is the king and it always stays at the number 1 of the most favorite coin. If you plan to invest for the long term, Bitcoin is surely the most recommended coin. Investing in altcoins is riskier, altcoins are more volatile and altcoins may experience a huge decrease in their hype.

1765  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is the bear market over? on: January 12, 2023, 09:25:25 PM
A nice breakout today, as I type this the price of bitcoin is $18,867. We’re up over 7.5% in the last 24 hours. Nobody can complain about seeing a rise like that in the current financial situation Smiley
Now, it is almost $19k. Bitcoin price is $18.9++, it seems we will achieve $19k today.
Anyway, I don't know what the reason behind this rising is. Do you have any clue about this, mate?

It’s difficult to say if the bear market is over. We need to see a much more convincing rise before we can be sure. I still think we will go lower in 2023 at some point but obviously the higher we go, the less confident I’ll be about that.
Agree. At least, Bitcoin price should pass $20k and start to increase constantly to $25k. At this time, we may conclude that the bearish season is over already. For me, $25k is the most crucial rate to determine whether the bearish stays or ends. As long as the price is still below $25k, I personally assume we are still in the bearish. Anyway, I don't think the price will have a chance to be lower than in 2022.

At least 5-6 players of Juventus are injured and these players, who are in the most important roles of the team, I am surprised how they resist so well in the absence of these players, I really need to be congratulated. For the Napoli match that will be played tomorrow, if Napoli gets three points from this match, in my opinion, this point gap will be widened, even an early sign of the championship. The probability of the match ending in a draw seems high to me.
You are right, some key players of Juventus are injured (Vlahovic, Cuadrado, Pogba, Bonucci, De Sciglio). It is great that Juventus can win in each match without them, the substitution players showed that they have good quality, too. However, it seems hard to play against Napoli with too many injured players. Napoli is the strongest team in Serie A this season, they also have no injured players. So, Napoli will play with their full team. If Juventus can't play with their most key players, I also doubt Juventus to get points. Well, as you said, it seems Napoli to get 3 points and they will maintain their position at the top table. Juventus needs a miracle to get a point in this match.

Karim Benzema is now 35 years old and next year he will be 36 years old and it is only natural that he will likely leave Real Madrid next season because according to him it is also impossible to keep up with the performance of Real Madrid's young players. If the rumors Real Madrid want Harry Kane are true, I think that's pretty good considering Harry Kane is an experienced striker even though during his time at Spurs he has never led his team to win the EPL I think it doesn't matter, but if the price is 100 million euros at the age of 30 year seems it is too expensive.
I don't think Benzema will leave Real Madrid although Real Madrid successfully signs Harry Kane. Real Madrid only has Benzema as a top striker, they have no other top striker. Since Real Madrid plays in UCL and La Liga, they need at least 2 top strikers. So, although Benzema's performance is decreasing, Real Madrid seems to keep him.

Regarding Harry Kane, his current price is $90 million. If Real Madrid wants him, Real Madrid must pay $90 million at least. I am sure that Tottenham doesn't want to sell him below $90 million, Harry Kane is their key player and many clubs want him as well. So, Tottenham has a strong reason to keep the expensive price.

I know myself I overcame addiction by realizing that I can control myself. It's a long process to control yourself from over doing gambling and resisting the temptation to play again but it's doable. It's easier to said than done. I've countlessly failed in limiting myself in terms of doing gambling and not overspending in it but yeah it can be achieved by slowing down and consistently doing it.
Of course, it won't be easy. Dealing with addiction is always difficult because it is to limit something we have done regularly. If we have no strong intention and don't want to force ourselves, it simply fails. However, you have proven it that by countless efforts and you tried it constantly, finally you can succeed to recover from addicts. No problem if you take a long time to recover, the most important that you can recover now. I suggest to avoid everything that can lead to addiction again, you also must commit with yourself to gamble in a proper way.  Smiley

FTX Exchange might be brought back online - Would you use it again?
I used CEX for trading, not for saving funds/coins. So, why not use FTX again?
I am sure they will improve their services and they will be more transparent to customers. As long as FTX looks fine to use, I personally will use it for trading. I'm sure all CEXs have the same chance to experience the problem as FTX.

FTX is also under new management now.
They are trying to increase public trust with a new management.

Other exchanges are not safer than FTX, why not use it again? But do not leave your coins on an exchange, it is not your key which means it is not your coin that you have full control over.
Indeed. All CEXs have the same risks as FTX.
That's why not recommended to keep funds/coins for a long time there. We only trade coins there, send back coins to private wallets whenever trading is over and send the funds (fiats) to bank accounts. Although it seems a bit complicated but it is the safest way.

Sebenarnya kalau prinsip saya hindari hutang apapun itu keperluaanya, tapi memang kadang ada sesuatu yang diluar kemampuan kita, dan itu sifatnya sangat urgent maka itu tidak apalah. Sedangkan trading mungkin sebenarnya juga tidak termasuk prioritas kebutuhan hidup, jadi mungkin bisa dihindari.
Kalau ada pengecualian, berarti prinsipnya tidak berlaku ke hal apapun dong?  Grin
Agan jelaskan di atas kalau ada hal yang sifatnya urgent, maka tidak masalah untuk berhutang apabila memang tidak ada pilihan lain.

Saya juga sangat menghindari berhutang kalau memang tidak ada hal mendesak. Berhutang bisa beresiko, bisa jadi kita akan kesulitan mengembalikannya di kemudian hari. Selain itu, hutang bisa berdampak ke psikis, karena ada semacam pressure untuk mengembalikannya secepatnya. Hutang juga bisa berdampak ke hubungan sosial, yang tadinya mesra menjadi berjauh-jauhan karena ada sesuatu (hutang).

Small rumor from Spain.
Real Madrid wants Harry Kane for the next season.

Not sure it could be a good move, does Benzema leave the club?

Also, Kane is not so young anymore 100m for an almost 30yo player?
I think it is a big rumor, why it is a small rumor?  Undecided

Sure, it is a good move, Kane is still a good striker although he is already 29 years old. There is no problem with his age, his performance looks fine. If he doesn't really shine in Tottenham, it is because he doesn't have enough support there. He needs more players to give good assists to him. Real Madrid can guarantee it with many top midfielders. By the way, I am sure Benzema to stay, why he should leave? Benzema is still needed for Real Madrid, he is the captain. He can play together with Kane, right?  Wink

a good gambler know when to stop
If you do have this then you wont really be making yourself get wrecked with  gambling or simply you could avoid potential problems and headaches which would be caused by being impulsive towards gambling activity.
Yep. You can gamble every day, but you must have a time limit to gamble. It is important to avoid gambling excessively. Sure, we all know that overplay or overgambling can cause many problems in gambling activity. It is not only about addiction, but it is also about the money to spend on gambling. So, that's why we need to have a time limit and funds limit to use. If it reaches the limit, kindly stop gambling whatever we get (whether win or lose).

Dont make yourself that getting addicted and ends up on spending tons of money just because you do believe in mind that gambling could make you rich.
Yes, its possible but only a few could able to do that or to those luck ones.
It is a very rare case that someone to be rich through gambling.
Dreaming to be rich in gambling only causes us to chase winning. And in most cases, chasing winning to end up with a huge loss.

1773  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your biggest obstacle to achieving financial freedom ? on: January 11, 2023, 08:59:15 PM
~Our biggest obstacle is ourselves, we have forced ourselves into difficulties and barriers because of fear. We should not blame our circumstances and conditions for not being better than others, we are not brave enough to step out of our comfort zone to do things we have never done. "It's not your fault if you were born into a poor family, but it's your fault when you grow up poor." Our lives are what we choose.
Agree. Sometimes we are too worried to try, so we never have a chance to change our life. We can't have financial freedom if we never did hard work and never take risk jobs. Commonly, we feel fear because of the risk, it is actually natural to feel fear about risk. However, no gain to achieve without taking risk, big things often come with a risk to achieve. For example if you want to be rich with Bitcoin, you must deal with its risk to succeed in its investment. You will never get money from Bitcoin if you feel afraid and never try to buy Bitcoin. However, to know the risk, we need to learn Bitcoin from any sources. Learning is a part of success besides experience.

BLT itu ada semenjak zaman SBY namun sempat diharamkan oleh rezim sekarang ketika pamor nyari kekuasaan, Namun karena memang sangat efektif bikin rakyat senang, diproyekkan lagi oleh rezim yang sekarang. muna

Selain bertujuan nyari muka ke rakyat, Pemerintah menyalurkan BLT juga untuk mendorong daya beli masyarakat ketika bahan pokok naik, namun karena rakyat tidak cukup penghasilan, nganggur atau upah yang rendah, duit BLT-nya cepet habis, mungkin duit segitu bisa beres dalam sehari buat beli beras, gula, migor dan Indomie. lalu besok-besoknya, tongpes lagi, nyari-nyari lokak lain.
Sepertinya ini mewakili curahan hati masyarakat Indonesia.  Cheesy

Pikir positif aja. Mungkin BLT di rezim sekarang beda dengan BLT jaman dulu, Om. Di rezim yang dulu BLT haram karena gak ada cap/logo halalnya, sedangkay BLT sekarang mungkin ada logo halal MUI nya.

Ya mau gimana lagi, yang namanya BLT memang cuman buat instan. Dalam sehari dua hari sudah habis, apalagi kalo BLT nya dipake buat bayar utang atau beli gadget.

Kalau temen saya pinter, duit BLT dari kartu prakerja dia pakai buat trading bitcoin dan malah makin berkembang sampai sekarang, dari dulunya 3 jutaan, sekarang sudah belasan juta, dan dia sekarang tidak ikut lagi program-program pemerintah soal BLT, katanya hidupnya sudah mapan dari trading.
Masalahnya gak setiap orang bisa kayak temen ente, Om.
Temen ente selain punya ilmu, juga hokinya bagus di trading. Yang lain belum tentu bisa bikin uang BLT 3 jutaan jadi belasan juta. Bisa jadi dari 3 juta malah jadi 300 rebu. Tapi memang ada sisi positifnya jika uang BLT dipake bukan untuk hal yang instan, seperti dijadikan modal trading kayak temen ente atau modal usaha lainnya. Namun, ada resiko loss duidnya, karena gak ada usaha yang gak ada resiko. Jadi hanya yang berani dan punya ilmu, yang layak mencobanya. Tapi kalau cuman modal nekat, mending BLTnya dipake buat beli beras atau bahan pokok lainnya.

This is a good analysis of how Real Madrid midfielder's have been without a proper defensive midfielder since Casemiro left for Manchester United. From experience they find it difficult also to replace important players like him Real Madrid which affects the performance. The kind of defense they have should cope they should pair Alaba and Rudiger together in bigger games as they have been a good communication seen amongst them both.
Yes, Manchester United are happy for the move of Casemiro, he brings balance and stability to the game and midfied also as a shield to the defense and to Bruno and Erikson.
It is not an analysis, it is just his own perception.
Anyway, it is clearly seen that Real Madrid is decreasing the performance of their midfield line after Casemiro left the club. Everyone easily knows it, no need for a certain analysis to know it.

Agree. Casemiro was a crucial player in Real Madrid, he was a part of the trio best midfielders in the world (Casemiro-Kroos-Modric). Unfortunately, Casimero prefers to leave Real Madrid because he was interested in Man United offer. Real Madrid couldn't prevent him, it was Casimero's intention to get a new challenge in a new league and in a new team. Actually, Real Madrid has Aurélien Tchouamén, he is also a talented/skillful defensive midfielder. Sadly, after the world cup, his performance is decreasing a lot.

I would say Arsenal are in very good form. They can't win against Newcastle. But Arsenal players managed to score four goals against Brighton. Arsenal team also got a nice 3-0 win against Oxford United. Arsenal players dominated the match. But the upcoming matches are very important for Arsenal if they want to win the Premier League title. Arsenal team will play against Tottenham and United. They need to get full points in these two matches if they want to be champions. At the same time Arsenal was defeated in the first match against Manchester United. They have to avenge their previous defeat.
Arsenal is surely in a good form, they are also still leading the EPL standings. Although they failed to get full points against Newcastle, they still have 5 point difference with Man City. In the next match, Arsenal will play against Tottenham, while Man City will play against Man United. Both Arsenal and Man City have a chance to lose points. However, considering the current performance of those teams, I believe Arsenal has a better chance to get points. Man City will be difficult to get points from Man United. Man United looks stronger now, they returned to their best form again. I assume Man United can defeat Man City in Old Trafford.

Let's hope that 2023 will be a bullish year for cryptocurrencies.
Do you buy crypto coins in 2021?
If you bought the coins in 2021, it was the bullrun season. You must understand that it is time for crypto coins to increase their values significantly. Why you didn't sell your coins before 2021 ended?  Huh

Sure, there should be a chance for another bullrun season, but it seems not in 2023. I don't know why you think 2023 can be a bullish year, but you must know most people predict the bullish season will probably happen in 2024 - 2025.

It is a big lesson, you finally know that investing in Bitcoin is more trusted than others.
If you missed the opportunity to invest in Bitcoin at that time, you have another chance to invest in Bitcoin this time. We are in the bearish season, it is the best time to fill our bags. However, choose the right wallet to hold the Bitcoin until the bullrun season. Don't trust CEX wallets, it is better to keep the Bitcoin in hardware wallets or private wallets.

Ponzi schemes for greedy people get unreasonable profits, they deposit assets without considering the losses and fraud from ponzi schemes, but unfortunately profit is a choice to blind the mind to think. I have a different analysis from the OP case above that he has trusted a friends suggestion to invest ponzi based using Bitcoin and but he doesn't really have any bitcoins in his wallet other than just to use the deposit to the ponzi platform address, he doesn't even have any remaining balance from his wallet until now, so Op still lost $20 at the bitcoin price at the time and didn't have to remember losing $566 due to overestimation was painful.
Yep, OP just too trusted his friend, so he wants to invest in the pyramid scheme. He was probably a beginner and didn't know much about crypto investment at that time. So, we can understand that OP can be trapped in a scam project.

Basically, he lost $20 but it is valued at about $566 now.
He regrets not saving his BTC, instead invested the BTC in a pyramid scheme.

Where will he end? does he want a team or is he ok with being without work?

I can't believe Zidane rejected two big national teams (Brazil, Portugal). But I believe Zidane has a strong reason to reject them, he is a smart coach and never hurry to deal with a new job.

We don't know where he will end exactly, no clue at all. I only assume that Zidane probably accepts it if France offers him to manage France national team. Zidane a perfect coach to improve France national team performance, he is a legend (a succesful player and coach as well). So, he will get full respects from all France players.
