321  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Two years ago today, El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as legal tender on: September 11, 2023, 03:40:56 AM
Are you from El Salvador?  on what basis do you say that bitcoin adoption has helped their country repel crime or improve their economy?  for the country's economy to improve, we need to increase the employment rate, increase people's income and sharply reduce the rate of social evils...Meanwhile bitcoin is accepted as legal tender in El Salvador, meaning bitcoin is used as currency.  how can it improve the nation's problems?  not only can bitcoin eradicate poverty and reduce unemployment, but it can now also reduce crime rates and social evils, lol.  so many crazy ideas about bitcoin.
Though it's true that "El Salvador" might have lost a lot of funds due to the drastic fall in the price of Bitcoin, but yet Bitcoin made the name "El Salvador" popular the way it is among other nations and the Bitcoin community at large, because thou it might not have helped eradicate poverty and employment totally, but it actually did in that certain ways, because due to the legalization of Bitcoin, it gave people the privilege to venture into Crypto & Blockchain related skills, which I'm sure by today, El Salvador should be having an institute that should be offering a handful of Blockchain related courses.

However, if you can take a look at the image below, you will notice that the revenue generated from "El Salvador" tourism sector started increasing in 2021, which is the same year it accepted Bitcoin as legal tender, as am sure many Bitcoin lovers must have gone there to see what it feels like living in a Bitcoin free & acceptable environment.

I also know about El Salvador's tourism industry which has grown since they accepted bitcoin.  but a tourism industry cannot help them improve the whole country's economy and moreover, how does bitcoin prevent and reduce the crime rate in El Salvador?  what I want to say is, bitcoin is very useful and brings a lot of convenience to us, but let's not exaggerate it to an unnecessary level. 

Bitcoin is just a peer-to-peer currency and it gives us the freedom to not depend so much on the government.  bitcoin is not a panacea that can cure humanity's ills. that's what I'm talking about.

Two years ago today in El Salvador, Bitcoin was officially adopted by the country's government. But then the people of the country were against it all, went against the government to officially legalize Bitcoin. But when Bitcoin became legal in El Salvador, people thought there would be more corruption and more murders. El Salvador has always had people involved in criminal activities, from juvenile gangs to criminal activities. But since legalizing Bitcoin, El Salvador's government has clamped down on them and completely revamped the country. After Bitcoin was officially legalized, their country has gradually improved, and now they have advanced economically. There everything is possible with Bitcoin and everything is accepted as payment through Bitcoin and the country has progressed so much that the education rate is highest.

Why is every newbie always want to be a superhero?

I want to convince people about Bitcoin, I want to teach people about Bitcoin, Bitcoin will solve poverty, Bitcoin save me and my country etc etc. In reality people don't give a shit about someone else problem, it's not their business, so if you don't want to invest in Bitcoin or you're always become poor, it's your own business.

Let's accept the fact every people are greedy and they only want do something when there's a benefit for them.

Simply because newbies are like frogs sitting at the bottom of a well and they have not seen anything other than that well.  they need time to experience everything before having a more accurate view of the market and bitcoin.  they are people who are stuck in life and suddenly discover bitcoin, like finding the light at the end of the tunnel, so they begin to fantasize about the power of bitcoin like a god.

You're right, as humans, no one would be so kind as to help others without asking for something in return.  it's all for personal gain.  people who always talk about morality, always try to prove that they are good people and want to help others, those people are scarier than anyone.
324  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is KYC mandatory in CEX? on: September 10, 2023, 08:56:18 AM
Privacy is important when it comes to Cryptocurrency, so why do exchanges like Bitget require KYC (Know Your Customer) for all users, even those who only want to get airdrops? I thought KYC should be for those transacting many Bitcoins, Is it really necessary for everyone?
Honestly I almost thought bitget was a KYC free exchange until I discovered that you will need to do KYC before you can use the exchange to do anything you want even trading. This is not supposed to be so because I know there are some cex exchanges that don't make KYC compulsory at all except you want to increase the amount you can able to trader and receive funds. You can search the internet for other exchanges that don't make KYC compulsory which you can use in your region without any restrictions or need to use VPN.

There are not too many centralized exchanges that do not require KYC, as far as I know only Kucoin does not require KYC if you only trade small amounts.  for larger amounts, you cannot use them without KYC.  centralized exchanges all comply with the law to operate, so failure to KYC is very unlikely, it is a government regulation and no longer under their jurisdiction.

DEXs are an option for those who do not want to expose their privacy, but they are not as liquid nor as full-featured as CEXs.  so up to now, DEXs are not the choice of many people.

To be honest, no one wants to own assets like gold or real estate, but because owning those things requires a lot of money and they are not profitable like bitcoin.  meanwhile we are poor people, have little capital and we need an asset that can help us earn a lot of money, and that is why bitcoin was chosen.
Really? if you joined a gold forum or real estate forum and say those assets require a lot money and not profitable, you will get many criticism the same way like you saying shitcoin is better than Bitcoin or Bitcoin isn't profitable.

Bitcoin might give you better return than gold and real estate, but it's not something will make you get rich overnight if you only invest small amount of money.

I say that gold and real estate are not as profitable as bitcoin, and I do not say that those two assets are not profitable.  I'm also not saying that we or the poor can get rich from bitcoin overnight, what I want to say is that choosing and investing in bitcoin will give us more opportunities to earn higher profits than the two investments.

By the way, why would you invest in bitcoin and not other assets?  isn't it because bitcoin can be very profitable and it can profit faster than the other two assets?  be honest and don't lie.
326  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BlackRock wants to reduce the price of Bitcoin on: September 09, 2023, 12:19:04 PM
I'd like to reduce the price of Bitcoin so that I can buy some more. Smiley

Yeah, that would be a good thing for many of us because when the of Bitcoin goes low in value then most of us will try to accumulate as much as we possibly can. I'm sure that BlackRock is also thinking about the same thing and if they get any success in reducing the price of Bitcoin then it will be a best opportunity for us to accumulate a lot of Bitcoin. Bitcoin will go up in value after that and then no one will be able control the growth of Bitcoin.

They are people with a lot of money, not only will they think about it, but I believe they will also find ways to manipulate the market so they can buy it at a higher discount price.  Bitcoin is truly a lucrative piece of cake and those with a lot of money will find ways to capture it all before it explodes.  i'm even worried that bitcoin will like gold and real estate, become a luxury item only for the rich and no longer available to everyone.
People with money will always know how to manipulate everything that belongs to them. 
327  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto or Real estate on: September 09, 2023, 12:10:45 PM
I'd choose Bitcoin all the way.

Bitcoin is less hassle, no paper works, less tax, and easier to buy and sell compare to real estate. Though, they are both good profit generator in the long run, I just don't like selling real estate because they take too much energy from you, physically and mentally. In Bitcoin, if you're a holder, all you gotta do is to buy when it dumps hard and wait for it to skyrocket before selling it, easy profits.
it's different for me, where I actually choose both, but for now I don't think I can afford to buy real estate because the price is expensive so I hold bitcoin, but when it makes a profit I think I will diversify to buy real estate and leave a little money for waiting for the bearish season to come, that way i will have 2 investments with different risks, and i hope that it will strengthen my finances, which with real estate i can turn it into a passive income

The reason people don't like real estate is because they don't have enough money to own and invest in it, they choose bitcoin because it can help them make great profits with significant amounts of money and quickly.  that's also the reason I chose to invest in bitcoin, but I won't lie that I don't like real estate like many others.

To be honest, no one wants to own assets like gold or real estate, but because owning those things requires a lot of money and they are not profitable like bitcoin.  meanwhile we are poor people, have little capital and we need an asset that can help us earn a lot of money, and that is why bitcoin was chosen.
328  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Countries where Bitcoin is “banned” on: September 09, 2023, 10:13:39 AM
India banned bitcoin when they found out government officials were taking bribes in cryptocurrencies.
This is pretty funny, like people never took bribes in India (just like many other places in the world) before bitcoin, right? Roll Eyes If that is the real reason then politicians are even more stupid than what I thought because that just means remaining behind the rest of the world that will embrace this tecnology.
China first banned bitcoin because people were using it to transfer money out of the country, as sending large amounts of money abroad, or leaving China with a lot of cash is prohibited.
Same as above, if that is the reason then it's stupid. Those who want to laundry money and/or make it leave their country will find a way for sure.
Simply because the government cannot find any disadvantages or bad points of bitcoin to blame it on, and they use the excuse of corruption, crime...to blame bitcoin.  we all find those reasons ridiculous, but there is still nothing we can do to stop the government from banning bitcoin.

The government has never been stupid.  if they are stupid, how can they lead and manage us?  but don't believe what they say, I believe they don't want people to hold too much bitcoin, and they are silently accumulating them and waiting for the right time to legalize it.
I think they are stupid because there is no real way to ban bitcoin: you can censure some website but using VPN or other ways you can still buy/sell bitcoin, and of course there is no way they can stop people from making transactions, unless they plan to shut down internet in the whole country, but I don't think it's a smart move. At the same time, because of these bans, they are missing growth opportunities and even the possibility to get money thanks to the capital gain taxes.

As I said, don't believe what they say and the ban will only be temporary until they collect all the bitcoins they need.

You're right, taxes are what they're aiming for and that's why many countries are also starting to legalize bitcoin and tax us.  they won't ignore those huge taxes, but they will need to find the right regulations and accumulate enough bitcoin before adopting it. I believe it is inevitable that bitcoin will soon be accepted in all countries, but each country will have different regulations.
329  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should I go with Bitcoin or Altcoins for the upcoming bull run cycle? on: September 09, 2023, 10:07:22 AM
There is no need to go into Altcoin investment as there are chances of scams most of the time. If you want to make a smart investment, it is definitely better to invest in Bitcoin, in which case Altcoin can never be a smart investment. We think that now is a good time to invest as the price of various coins including Bitcoin market has decreased. If we invest from this bear market then surely it is a bull market and we will expect huge amount of profit. And if you invest from Bitcoin current time then you have to invest from $26k dollars. Although there won't be much profit now, if you wait until the bull market, you will more than double your profit. And if you invest the same amount of money in altcoin then surely there is a possibility of losing money in future. That is why you must invest wisely in the field of investment.

Many people always say that all altcoins are scams but do you see that ETH or BNB are more profitable than bitcoin during the 2021 bull season?  and I bet you that ETH's increase in the upcoming bull season will also be more significant than bitcoin's.  bitcoin is safer, that is undeniably, but not necessarily bad if we invest in altcoins.  just because you don't know enough to profit from altcoins doesn't mean everyone else is like you.  smart investments are those that bring the highest returns, not just one thing.

Others haven't experienced it for sure, which is why they are saying it, but those who said it said that they only want those new release coins to invest in because it's cheaper than having ETH and BNB, and that is where they get scammed.
 
But having both Bitcoin and altcoins is good as you diversify your investment, but be cautious, and it is better to only invest in top altcoins like BNB, ETH, and XRP.

While I'm not against investing in altcoins, I wouldn't consider it diversification to minimize risk since the entire market depends on bitcoin's movements.  when our bitcoin investment loses money, no altcoin investment will make a profit.  investing in altcoins is just about finding ways to optimize profits and not minimize our risks, so I don't call it diversification. 
But I agree with you, if you don't want to risk too much, invest in ETH or XRP, I believe they will bring better profits than BTC in the upcoming bull season.
330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: September 08, 2023, 05:52:33 PM
I remember a few years ago, Lyon was the strongest team in France and they were fighting for first place in the table while PSG didn't have this huge amount of investment in the team to buy superstar players.
But unfortunately time after time Lyon is getting weaker and now we can see Lyon is at the bottom of the table while they also didn't get good results in the game we saw from them so far.
I was also a little surprised to see two teams that used to be good in Ligue1 at the bottom of the standings after four games at the start of this season. Lens and Lyon both have one point after four games this season which I never even thought about because last season these two teams were not as bad as they are now, so what happened at the start of this season to both teams is very surprising for me because actually the current position is not a suitable position for both of them.

The two renowned teams of Ligue 1 are Lens and Lyon. These two teams have performed well in the last season as well. But this season, Lens and Lyon are at the bottom of the points table. They managed to earn only 1 point in four matches. I do not think that these two parties will suddenly decline like this.

Marseille, Monaco and Lille have performed well so far. With 10 points from 4 matches, Monaco have managed to hold the top spot in the points table. Marseille and PSG are second and third in the table with 8 points. And Lille got 7 points from 4 matches. I think Monaco, Marseille and PSG will fight for the title this season. It is going to be difficult for PSG to win the title this season.
331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 08, 2023, 05:46:03 PM
It's a joke to read, but it's true. I'm also very surprised by Harry Maguire, who always wants his game to be in the lyrics, but the mistakes he often makes make it seem like it's right and good for the club, but instead the club feels they are being disadvantaged by mistakes that often pose a threat to Manchester's goal. United.
My question is whether there is a club that will accept him, while the video of his mistakes has become a laughing matter for Manchester United fans. Even though he is no longer part of Manchester United's main squad and is a substitute player, Harry Maguire is still confident that he is still a player. became captain of the Manchester United team, even though he was aware that he was no longer trusted within the team to serve as captain of Manchester United.
In fact Harry Maguire status at Manchester united is unusual. He is loyal to club despite the controversy surrounding his performance and contract talk. When supporter and management may have question about him his willingness to stay at the club demonstrates his sincere passion. While some may have issue with his performance on the pitch he stands out for his commitment to the club and dedication.  Maguire comes across as a player who cherishes the legacy of the team because of his unwavering determination to keep donning the Manchester United jersey even though other may doubt his appropriateness. Whether he is considered a hero or not his loyalty is indisputable admirable.
Ten hag is enough giving him more chance to play in the club. Harry meguire was always bringing the club into the critical situation. I meant to look at how bad he was as a defender. He was always making mistake in any games. He shall not even have a place in the club again.
ETH must be aware if meguire can never grow even higher. He will be stuck at this place forever. It doesn't even matter how hard ten hag gave him motivation and he will always show stagnant progress.
Manchester united needs a better defender than him. It's quite strange to see ten hag is still trusting him. I would be accepting it if it's due to defenders crisis faced by manchester united.
giving meguire a chance to play like MU was killing itself. The club has big chance to lose three points once he played.

Personally I don't think harry maguire is too bad of a defender. He is quite a talented defender. I have seen better performances from Harry maguire in several matches. But Manchester united fans don't like Harry Maguire. The main reason for this is that the Manchester United team has to admit defeat due to Harry Maguire's mistakes in several important matches, or own goals. This is why Manchester United fans hate Harry Maguire.

Since Manchester United fans don't like Harry Maguire, and now Harry Maguire is not performing consistently well, Ten Hag should find a replacement for Harry Maguire. United's defense is not strong enough. Ten Hag need to strengthen their defense. If the defense is weak, Manchester United cannot be in the top four of the table.

334  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin achievement on: September 08, 2023, 03:20:03 AM
then my initial life was not positive, I don't know what to do with my life. one day my friend encourage me to invest on Bitcoin despite my Reservation about Bitcoin, I eventually became persuaded. then I purchase a Bitcoin in 2017 and invested it. from there I became engaged with a forum and began contributing over time, since then I become an established Bitcoin investor.

   Guess what, ever since my friend introduced me to Bitcoin and I invested on it, things have never remain the same with me. investing in Bitcoin have given me what I could imagine to achieve in short period of time.
(1) I live alone in the house. but now, I have wife and children.
(2) I was living in a rented apartment. but now, I live in my own house.
(3)  I was tricking to places. but now, Bitcoin have giving me a car.
(4) before I don't have any source of income. but now, Bitcoin is my source of income.

friends, in short period of time, BTC have given me what I needed to have as a man. what is, your own achievement's with Bitcoin.
Good for you. But remember, not everyone gets "lucky" and not everyone can transform their life after investing in Bitcoin. You probably took a very risky move, and got lucky. You invested what you couldn't afford to lose.. which is what most people wouldn't recommend. There are people like you that thought crypto currencies would "change" their life, but instead, the opposite happened.
To address some of your points,

1. Not sure what wife and kids has to do with bitcoin.
2. Being able to afford a house just by investing in bitcoin sounds like you got very lucky or you have bought when the prices were very low and kept holding.
3. Tricking?
4. Don't make it your source of income, or the next day you will have to end  up selling your house and car.

1. I think he was talking about being rich and having money, that helped him have a happy family, that's also normal.  because many people don't dare to think about a small family when they have nothing, but when they are successful, having a wife and children is what they will think about.
2. Bitcoin brings significant profits, but to be able to buy a house or a car requires a lot of initial capital or he was a very early investor when bitcoin prices were still very cheap.
4. There are still some people who consider trading and investing as their main source of income, but those who do so are rare.  I don't believe the OP has done that with his knowledge.   this story is more unrealistic and more fabricated.
335  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let's Stabilize Bitcoin on: September 08, 2023, 03:04:10 AM
In order for Bitcoin to be widely used for payments, it is necessary to stabilize price fluctuations.

Question,
Bitcoin and other currencies A and Prepare B.
A and B are equivalent exchangeable and can also be equivalently exchanged for Bitcoin.

Is it possible to stabilize prices through market mechanisms due to this?

OP, if you expect bitcoin to become stable as a currency or stablecoin it will never happen, market makers will not allow it to happen because then everyone will lose interest and abandon bitcoin.  but if you think about bitcoin gradually becoming as stable as gold then it is possible because when capitalization reaches its maximum everything becomes slower.

But I want to know why would you expect bitcoin to be stable, while others expect it to be as volatile as possible?  if there is no volatility, how can we make a profit?
336  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will ETFs pump BTC to $100k soon? on: September 08, 2023, 02:53:20 AM
There are bitcoin ETFs in Europe and Canada, and they are not very popular. Many experts say that the spot Bitcoin ETF will be accepted in the US, but the prices in the market are recouping these events earlier.
Bitcoin has a chance to cost even $ 100,000, but manipulators will not do it instantly, and on pumps and dumps they will take a lot of money from hamsters.

It seems to me that the market is being manipulated by big players (mainly investment companies and whales) for their own interest. Not even the announcement of an ETF launch had a positive effect over BTC's market prices. The aforementioned entities may be keeping prices low before the BTC halving takes effect. After that, market prices will "pump" like crazy. I'm very confident BTC will reach $100k soon, especially when there's huge interest in it.

One thing for sure is that a lot of the big players have been accumulating BTC like there's no tomorrow. High demand and low supply will keep prices high for a very long time (hopefully). No one can predict the future, so lets hope for the best. Just my thoughts Grin


The bitcoin market has never really moved based on supply and demand, it is manipulated by many different forces.  that's why we often see sudden movements in bitcoin without any explanation.  The ETF will indeed have a significant impact on bitcoin but you are right, the important thing is that the sharks still dictate the movement of bitcoin.  but I think we don't need to wait for greater popularity or ETFs for bitcoin to reach $100k, we are slowly exiting the bear season and the halving is approaching.  increasing the price of bitcoin and creating a new ATH is inevitable.

I think the fact that Greenwood issue happened when he was at United and then Anthony thing happened right afterwards is the real reason why there is a drop. I mean Anthony is not the only one being charged now, the girl is saying that United doctors helped her the second time it happened, first was in brazil, but the second incident happened at Manchester and she got help from United doctors.

That sounds like she is just after money and it's a total lie, nobody beats their girlfriend and then takes them to the club doctors, that's not going to be true at all. But, even assuming that it would be true ended up resulting with a big drop. Being in a lawsuit drops the value of your company and will keep so until it's fixed.

Bruv, I said this yesterday in another thread and I am going to say this again, these women are just trying to get money from the football players. These women are just some dumb hoes, trying to scam popular celebrities and athletes for a good amount of money. And I think in every country there should be some jail time and,  some cautions taken, if any girl actually falsely accuses anyone with something like this. This is a very common phenomenon in the West right now. If there are actions taken against the girl if she’s lying, I think this is going to decrease. Finally, I want people to realize that this is what the feminist revolution has done. They throw around words like misogyny, but they don’t even know the meaning of misandry.

South Africa VS Australia
South Africa batted first in today's match and set a target of 222 runs in 49 overs. South Africa does not think they can win today with the runs they have scored today. If Australia team can perform well in batting then they can win easily by crossing this run.  Australia team now come out to bat. 42 runs in 6.2 overs. So far Australia lost 2 wickets. Australia lost 2 wickets and now under a lot of pressure. I don't know which team will win today's match between the two teams.
Although 222 is easily chasible in ODI especially when team like Australia batting which has ability to chase even in t20 but today match is looking in the favor of South africian team. All top Australian batsmens are out without scoring big and now full pressure on the Aussie. In 12 overs Australia made 72 runs. The run rate is good enough but they lost 5 wickets which is big trouble for Australian team and now if they lost two more wickets then very low for Australia win. If Australia make partnership here then match will become tough because score is not big, only problem is wickets and Aus should not take any risk here in this stage .
Australia is at its worst situation losing the 6th wicket. As of now Australia have scored 97 runs in 14 overs. As said the run rate is well maintained, but the loss of wickets keeps the team at the edge of losing the match. Cameron Green had retired hurt, and his comeback might help in scoring little runs. Anyhow South Africa's winning probability have reached 70% from 15%

I am very surprised by Australia's batting today. I saw Australia's performance in the T20 series, Australian batsmen have batted well in all three matches, and the team won all three. I think this is why Australia decided to field today after winning the toss, however Australia batted very badly today. South Africa has given a target of only 223 runs, although Australia's run rate is more than 6.5, the team has lost wickets very quickly. The team lost 6 wickets before collecting 100 runs, lol. After 22 overs, Australia's collection is 149/7, they still needs 74 runs to win, it doesn't look like they will win miracally. Labuschagne remains unbeaten on 38 off 29 balls, and Aston Agar scored 20 runs. The way the South African bowlers are bowling, Australia is probably going to lose today.

Indeed, but there may be a special agreement issued for PSG and Mbappe. So let's just see. Actually, Mbappe's performance in some matches looks improved because there are other factors. PSG's incoming transfers are quite good as Dembele, Muani, Asensio. So actually PSG did a good game. So they were quite good in their last game. The doubtful thing may be that for Europe, they will probably have a hard time competing in Europe.  
Enrique's task is harder to go in the future how to bring PSG to be able to play consistently in the Champions League because from some previous coaches it is very difficult to do the work even though they have star players in it. So let's see how Enrique's ability can have a positive impact on the team, tactics and strategies are needed to be the mainstay of PSG to compensate for other teams to reach the quarter -finals. Dembele, Muani and Asensio will be a new force that can help PSG because for the last match almost the three of them have adapted well with old players.

For the domestic league I do not doubt PSG because before they were strong enough and very difficult for other teams to break their consistency, only last season a little decreased because some players who were associated with problems with one with another. Mbappe will survive if PSG can be one of the challengers in the Champions League and I am sure that if Enrique is able to do that then Mbappe will last at least for one to two seasons.

For some reason recently PSG has become only about Mbappé. And as long as they are able to get themselves out of the mindset, they’re not going to win. Yes, he is a great player, I understand, but even he is replaceable.  So I do not think that they should keep putting him on a pedestal and revolve everything around him. It will be better for them to actually let him go if he wants to, which he does.

I understand that it will be very hard to actually find another player like him. But it does not matter if he is in the squad because he does not want to stay anymore and that can obviously affect his performance.

I definitely do not think that he is going to stay for two seasons. He is going to leave before that in my opinion.

Things are going on well for Real Madrid. They are deprived of 3 important members like Courtois, Militao and Vinicius Junior. But this is still not an obstacle for them to maintain a winning streak. Bellingham is playing a huge role in this form of course. He is even the current leader in top scorers table.  Grin

However I'm wondering how good they will deal with big opponents without these players. I mean especially the matches against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. They are going to take on Atletico Madrid very soon for example. The reason why I wonder this is that it wasn't really easy for them to defeat Getafe home.
There is still a possibility that they in a good performance, considering they have an experienced coach, but without a key player like Vini Real Madrid performance may not be really good.
Before against Atletico Madrid in matchday 6, I mean next match on matchday 5 Real Madrid will also against Real Sociedad, without Vini Jr. I think Real Madrid will difficulties to got three points. But let's see in that match first, whether the Real Madrid team is still in good performance or not. If not, then things will be difficult for them against Atletico Madrid.
The top three teams in La Liga are Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid. Any two of these three teams play a very interesting match. The match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is undoubtedly going to be a very interesting match. This match against Atletico Madrid will be a bit tough for Real Madrid as Real Madrid will not field their full XI at the moment as several players are injured at the moment. The team's most important player Vinicius Junior is injured at the moment and will not be available for the match against Atletico Madrid so it is natural to think that this match will be a tough one for Real Madrid. 
Despite Vinicius Jr's injuries, the squad has a number of young talents who are performing well at the moment. Real Madrid will win against Atletico Madrid if Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo and other team players can perform at their best.

@jakdanyel, First of all it is going to be very hard for them to win against Barcelona. They will probably be able to manage without them against Atletico Madrid. But the biggest problem is going to be in the Champions League match. I don’t know if the players are going to be available by the time they will face bigger opponents in the Champions League or not. If they are ready to play, then it is going to be absolutely fine. But if the injury situation continues for Real Madrid, it is going to be hard for them to win against the big teams in the Champions League competition and also against Barcelona in La Liga.
