Yes, I am, both BTC and gold.

It will depend on where you re asking. If you are asking here, yes, it is, because most people right here concern more about Bitcoin than gold in this forum. Moreover, we also understand how valuable and worth it BTC is. But, when you ask ordinary people, gold is the main and first thing, as in the global asset market cap too.

Probably, BTC is more private as long as he doesn't declare about what and how he has.

Many people are like this because of several considerations.
As well as:
- the possibility of someone gaining more profits from Bitcoin in a certain time period
- More interest in digital assets, in this case Bitcoin
- Limited amount of money to invest
- And several other personal reasons that tend to want BTC more than gold.
But indeed, as you said, both BTC and gold are investments that are very worth it and valuable. Both have great reputations that are beyond doubt. So, if we can invest in both, why not?

Tidak bisa dibilang kecil juga, harga BTC ini turun dari $70k ke kisaran $61k. Ini penurunan lumayan besar (lebih kurang turun $10k), biasanya paling turun cuman $5k. Yang mungkin bikin khawatir banyak holder, itu karena halving sudah dekat tapi malah koreksi dalam. Beberapa holder berspekulasi kalau halving mungkin tidak lagi punya daya hype seperti sebelumnya. Jadinya mungkin saja harga tidak terlalu signifikan naiknya meskipun di waktu halving mendatang.

Mungkin saja, tapi kalau cuman ini faktornya tidak bakal sampai bikin drop seperti beberapa hari ini. Saya kira faktor lain yang lebih mungkin untuk menyebabkan dump dalam beberapa hari ini. Berdasarkan apa yang saya baca, ada 3 penyebab: war Iran-Israel, tax day US, dan inflasi US.

Ini maksudnya peluang $73k di halving BTC mendatang?
Ya selama harga BTC tidak sampe ke $50k lagi, saya kira masih sangat mungkin balik ke $73k. Apalagi harga BTC sekarang mulai berangsur naik, masih bertahan di kisaran $63k - $64k. Saya yakin masih banyak yang optimis selama melihat harga BTC tetap di atas $60k.

Walaupun perang Iran-Israel berdampak ke market crypto, saya kira tidak akan berlangsung lama. Bukan kali ini saja isu perang dikaitkan dengan market crypto, sebelumnya perang Rusia-Ukraina juga sempat dikaitkan ke penurunan koin-koin crypto. Tapi seperti biasa, market segera pulih dan isu perang tidak terlalu signifikan pengaruhnya untuk jangka waktu yang lama.

Selain itu, sebenarnya perang Iran-Israel ini seharusnya tidak banyak pengaruhnya karena sepertinya tidak banyak big player crypto dari kedua negara ini. Hanya saja mungkin karena peran media, makanya timbul kepanikan atau fear di antara para crypto holder. Secara pribadi, saya tidak terlalu khawatir dengan isu perang Iran-Israel.

BTW, ada isu lain terkait penurunan harga ini:
- Tax day di US
- Data Inflasi US

I agree that Man United has enough wingers, they are better to spend a big money for a productive striker. Osimhen is the right player if Man United wants a goal machine. Osimhen deserves to get €100m, his market value is even more than that price, it is around €110m. I think Napoli wants above his current market value, it is rumored valued above €150m. There is no way that Man United can sign Osimhen with €100m.

Regarding Leao, he is a great player but Man United doesn't really need a player like him. $100mil is also too expensive, Man United is better to spend the money for more priority players.

It is clear that Lazio will win this match easily because they play against the weakest team in Serie A. Salernitana is in the bottom of Serie A standings, they become the team that have most conceded goals this season. I even think Lazio may score more goals in second half, they possibly score 5 goals if they keep playing offensively.

Well, Felipe Anderson succeeded scoring 2 goals to make Lazio is leading with comfortable score. Castellano seems to score as well if he can get a good chance. But I'm not really sure about this because Castellano isn't a very productive striker in Serie A. Immobile is still a better striker in Lazio but he got injured and not available for this match.

By the way, this win will make Lazio to stay in the top 8 of Serie A standings. They still have a chance to finish in 6th place, I doubt if they can return to the top 5.

If you are 100% in altcoins, it means you don't invest in Bitcoin at all? Why?
Sure, it is your right to invest in any coins. However, as far as I know, Bitcoin will increase first before altcoins season. We have halving, this probably will trigger to increase Bitcoin price because people will tend to focus on Bitcoin firstly. The altcoin season should follow it, it will happen after the halving. In my own understanding, we will have altcoin season when the price of Bitcoin tends to stable (no significant change). This is when the Bitcoin in the long sideway phase. This probably happens in the next few months after Bitcoin halving. But no one knows the exact time for the altcoin season. It can be in Q3 or Q4 of this year, or it may be in the next year.

By the way, be careful to put the profits into Bitcoin after altcoin season. After altcoin season, the market can turn to the bearish season. If you want to buy Bitcoin after altcoin season, I suggest to do it when it is clear that we begins the new bearish season. So, you can buy in the lowest price!

Kalau untuk saat ini, saya tidak begitu yakin jika pemerintah mau mengabulkan usulan hukuman mati. Meskipun dikabulkan, mesti nantinya kriteria untuk sampai dihukum mati itu bisa sangat complicated. Di Indonesia ini, sebelum hukuman dibuat mesti dicari dulu celahnya. Apalagi kasus korupsi itu merupakan kasus para pejabat negara. Tentu mereka yang di jajaran atas pemerintahan tidak ingin membuat ranjau untuk mereka sendiri. Karena pengesahannya ada pada sidang di DPR, saya tidak yakin usulan seperti ini bakal lolos. Kecuali komposisi orang-orang yang duduk di DPR itu besok-besok benar-benar murni perwakilan rakyat, bukan perwakilan partai.

Memang tidak ada salahnya mempertimbangakn hukuman mati. Cuman pertanyaannya apakah pemerintah mau menerapkan hukuman seperti ini? Terus terang saya tidak yakin. Yang ada sebaliknya, hukuman koruptor makin banyak potongannya.  

If you think the problem is in the tactical factor, it means the coach who has the responsibility for the problem. The coach who has the responsibility of making a proper tactics or strategies in each match. He also has a crucial role to keep the good mentality of all players in the whole season. So, it these are the problems, it makes sense if Bayern management blames Tuchel. Tuchel may be an experienced coach but he still can't understand well Bayern Munich squad. In some matches, I saw he made a bad lineup, including the match against Heidenheim in matchday 28.

I'm not surprised if Bayern Munich failed to get points when they played against Bayer Leverkusen. Bayer Leverkusen has a coach who understands well how to make a proper tactic and has a great ability to improve the mentality of players. That's why many clubs in the world are interested in signing Xabi Alonso. It is because he manages Bayer Leverkusen in an excellent way.

It is in theory that a team which plays at home will have a higher chance to win the match. But in reality, sometimes the opponent which can play better because they have no pressure from the home base fans. Arsenal played better in Leg 1, it can happen again in Leg 2 although it will be at Bayern home. I think it will be about the tactics and mentality of the players. Which coach who choose better tactics and can motivate their players well, they will have bigger chance to win. Sure, Arsenal is a strong team from EPL, they won't be easy to defeat although they are playing away.

For the match Man City vs Real Madrid, Real Madrid is a very experienced team in UCL. It won't be a very big problem to play away. If Ancelotti can choose the right tactics, they even can have a better chance although they will play at Man City home. Real Madrid knows well how to play with a confidence although it is in the opponent's home.

Yep. Barcelona showed to people that playing away is not a problem for them. They could beat PSG in Leg 1, it was in PSG home. They even could score 3 goals in PSG home. This can be also happened in the match of Bayern Munich vs Arsenal and Man City vs Real Madrid.

Yep. The match Liverpool vs Atalanta is surprising, Liverpool looked like a weak team. If you checked the current score, Atalanta is leading with 3 goals now. I don't understand why Liverpool plays very poor today. In my opinion, Liverpool used a wrong tactic and Klopp chooses a bad starting lineup. I see Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Andrew Robertson, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are put on the bench. These players are the main players of Liverpool squad, they must be starters if Klopp wants to get the best result in this match.

Agree, Liverpool can't be called as a candidate of the champion anymore. I think they have a big chance to be eliminated in this round. The next match will be in Atalanta home, it should be more difficult than today match. Liverpool seems to be focused on winning EPL for this season.

After the drop, there should an increase of the price. Bitcoin already increased to $70k - $71k again as you expected. However, we don't know whether this increase will continue or we will have another dump. Sure, the halving is getting closer, ideally there will be a constant increase because of the hype on the halving. But everything can happen, no guarantee for a constant raise on Bitcoin price.

I think the buying time is already over. This time is for waiting the selling time (exit). We already have many dumps, most of us must already buy Bitcoin many times. The pump was also happened already, I think everything looks like as you predicted.

Indeed. When we have assets, we need to let our closest person to know it. We don't know how long we live, the death is a must but no one knows it. That's why it is needed to share the password or the key phrase of our assets to someone. I also have done it, I shared it with my wife. Then, I also wanted to share it to my son if his age is enough to understand it.

I think our purposes are the same. We have assets to gain money for our family, specifically for the future of our kids. As it is assets, it mostly for a long term holding, including Bitcoin. It is a must to share the necessary information related to the Bitcoin assets. If no one knows it, the Bitcoin will be locked on the wallets if we die in the future.

Al Ittihad was actually a strong team but they lost their strength in this season. Considering the performance of Al Ittihad and Al Hilal in all the competitions, Al Ittihad isn't equal against Al Hilal. Al Hilal is still a too good team to play against Al Ittihad. This is not the final we expected, I think most of us want to see Al Nassr vs Al Hilal in the final.

By the way, the final match has been over. Al Hilal won the match with a very convincing score. As expected they won it easily, they scored 4 goals. Although we didn't see Aleksandar Mitrovic on the lineup, Al Hilal still could play as usual. Al Hilal deserved to win the trophy, they succeed to win the first trophy this season.

If the achievement is about the trophy, it only can be declared at the end of the competition. In EPL, Arsenal is still far from the safe position in 1st place, there is no different between Arsenal points and Liverpool points. The point gap with Man City is also 1 point only. So, there is a big chance for the change of the position among 3 top teams in EPL. I think it is not only Arsenal which can make a blunder, Liverpool and Man City also have the same chance to make the same thing. Even if Arsenal was the team which often makes a blunder in the past, who knows if they already learned from it and be a different team this season.

In UCL, Arsenal still has the chance to be in the final round. They got a draw against Bayern Munich yesterday, they will play against Bayern Munich again away in Leg 2. Although Bayern Munich has the advantage but Arsenal still has the chance to beat Bayern Munich. Honestly, it will be more interesting if Arsenal could beat Bayern Munich. It depends on how Arteta can prepare his team for the Leg 2.

So far, I never heard Mbappe has an option to stay in PSG a longer time. Mbappe doesn't want to extend his contract with PSG, he has decided to leave PSG after this season ends. It is a perfect time to leave because PSG has no longer ability to force him staying. Mbappe is free to move to any team he wants, he can accept any offer to his next team. Considering this matter, I don't see a chance for him to surprise us by staying at PSG again.

Ancelotti won't change the squad for this season but he probably changes it for the next season. Real Madrid president also stated to not sign Mbappe for this season, but they will sign him for the next season. So, this will apply for this season only, it is not referring to the next season. If Ancelotti and Pérez still want Real Madrid be more competitive in the next season, some changes are needed including signing Mbappe.

It is true. Even if it is a post with some paragraphs, it won't be a quality post if it has no important things. On the hand, it also won't be a quality post although it has important information in the content but people are difficult to understand the post due to bad way in writing.

Of course, a lengthy post never guarantees merits. People will reward merits based on the quality of the post and usefulness of the post. It is not only about the way in writing but it is also related to the content of the post. I think no people give merits because of the right grammatical usage only, the content of the post should be meaningful or valuable as well.

Both Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao must expect Girona or Atletico Madrid gets bad results. So they will take the advantage from the bad results. Barcelona will be safe in 2nd place if Girona fails to get full points. Meanwhile Athletic Bilbao will have the chance to overtake Atletico Madrid in 4th place if they fail to get 3 points in the upcoming match. Well, the result of the match Atletico Madrid vs Girona may influence the positions on the La Liga standings.

Sure Girona has the advantage because they will play at home and they have a longer time to prepare the match. Girona players also have enough time to take a rest. It is different with Atletico Madrid players, they won't have enough time to take a rest because they are playing in UCL today. And it is also an away match for them, it won't be easy to play in the opponent home. In theory, Girona has a better chance to win the match but we can't underestimate Atletico Madrid because they are also a strong team.

Yep. I also think the same, Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool have a higher level, they probably won't have a problem to beat West Ham and Atalanta. Although it is not impossible for a surprise but it is likely very small chance considering the current performance of Leverkusen and Liverpool. These teams are playing consistently both in domestic and international competition. So, I'm also confident to say Leverkusen and Liverpool will go to the next round.

You're right. It will be interesting match, both AC Milan vs AS Roma are top teams from Serie A. I'm very sure we will see a tight match between them. Although AC Milan has a better position in Serie A, but it won't be easy to beat AS Roma considering the improvement of AS Roma performance recently. I still favor AC Milan to win the match but I'm not so confident as I predicted the match of Leverkusen and Liverpool.

The match was very entertaining, we rarely saw many goals in the quarter final of UCL. Today, we have 6 goals, this deserves to be the final match. Unfortunately, the match Real Madrid vs Man City must happen in the quarter final. However, I think it is no problem, which team to win the Leg 2 probably has the highest chance to be in the final round. I think there are no other teams that have very balanced teams in each line like Real Madrid and Man City.

In today match, Man City more dominated the ball possession but Real Madrid could play more effective because they succeed to make more shot attempts. I think for the Leg 2, it will be the same as the match today. Man City probably dominated the ball possessions and Real Madrid will play more effectively again. However, I really hope Ancolotti to change a bit the formation and tactics. I assume the will be better to use the formation 4-2-2-2. They used this formation when they defeated Athletic Club few days ago.
