Burnley did performed very well in the EFL Championship last season and getting their promotion to play in this upcoming English Premier League season was certainly well deserved. I think Burnley might be able to create a few surprising results against big favorites teams in this upcoming season especially when they are playing at their home stadium with the support of their home fans, I guess they stand the best chances to survive relegation out of the 3 newly promoted teams to the English Premier League.

I did admire the hardwork Burnley put forth to qualify for the next season’s premier league. I hope they continue to exert that same energy when the season kicks off. Most times relegated teams don’t always get to stay long in the premier league when they newly get promoted, they always go back being relegated again. I hope this won’t be the case of Burnley since they’ve experience of the premier league before now.

It was really interesting to see them fight till the end and somehow securing their place in the English Premier League. Honestly, I do not have big expectations from them to be honest. I think they are going to finish in the mid table at best. I honestly think it is going to be a good performance from them if they can somehow avoid relegation. Yes, I do believe that they have a great chance to avoid relegation. But certainly it is not going to be easy. The performance from Burnley was not good in the last season. I hope that they will be able to improve and at least finish 2/3 spot above the relegation zone.

So far Leipzig has pocketed a total of 220 million euros from the sale of its star players to English Premier League clubs. We know that there was Nkunku who joined Chelsea, then Dominik Szoboszlai who joined Liverpool and finally there was the most expensive defender in history who joined Manchester City, namely Josko Gvardiol. With that amount of money it can be said that Leipzing's finances are very good so far and I think they are like Dortmund who have managed to sell their talented players. I'm still curious whether in the next season they will succeed in selling their talented players at high prices again and seeing great interest coming from English clubs, of course it will be a very big profit field.

I am expecting them to bring in really good players with this amount of money that they have right now. They don’t even have to spend all the money.  They can just bring in young players who are showing potential and nurture them properly to become a really good player in the future. It is not a problem for me as long as they invest the money back in the team.

Obviously everything is business. So they should spend money to bring in better players to have better success. But selling players like Dortmund, just to have a good amount of money is never going to be good for a club in the long run. I hope they are not following the same tactics.

most people, of course, want to get quick profits from investing in btc, and want big profits, but I don't think there's anything wrong if people want to get rich quick from btc and get big profits, because most human nature is like that, and I myself also want get rich quick from investing in btc and want to get big profits. and in my opinion it's not wrong as long as the condition is that as a btc investor we have to accept the fact that the btc price is hard to rise or we only get a small amount of profit, or get a loss.


It's human nature to be greedy, so we don't need to get upset with others because when we were newbies, we used to have such thoughts. it would be a lie if someone said that they have invested in bitcoin but they don't want to get bigger and faster returns. Bitcoin is considered risky but has the potential to provide faster and larger returns than other assets like gold or real estate.  That's why we take risks to invest in bitcoin with the desire to change lives faster, so don't try to lie that we don't want high and fast returns.  None of us is without greed and envy.
464  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If one like decentralization they will surely want Bitcoin? on: August 06, 2023, 04:14:44 AM
I have tried talking to people about Bitcoin but a higher number of them don't show any interest, they have idea what Bitcoin is but they don't see any reason to join the train so I am thinking, to cut short my time and energy, do you think it's better to talk about decentralization first?

Is it right to say that if anyone doesn't like decentralization they can never like Bitcoin?

Probably. Bitcoin is decentralization. If one doesn't like decentralization, then it's safe to conclude that he/she doesn't also like Bitcoin. However, taking into consideration what you further mentioned below, it is very possible that people don't like decentralization but they like money more. Whether they dislike decentralization or not is not the most important concern. If they're going to make money out of something decentralized, then it's possible they're willing to get into it. Never mind if it's decentralized or not.

I know of a number of individuals who don't like shitcoins but they have them just the same because they could multiply several times more quickly.


Most crypto industry participants prioritize profits over privacy and decentralization.  that's also why we see many people using centralized exchanges and they don't care even if they need KYC to use it.  profit and convenience are still the choice of the majority, not decentralization.


Shitcoins are really too risky and they are too centralized, not decentralized like bitcoin. but undeniably, they are giving much better returns than bitcoin and that's why many people don't invest in bitcoin but prefer shitcoin. Again, profit is their primary concern.
465  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin competition. on: August 06, 2023, 04:04:57 AM
With very little experience in Bitcoin my opinion is based on layman's understanding, so please correct me if I'm wrong, it's true without other altcoins Bitcoin investors would be much but, looking at it from the other hand without these other altcoins and tokens the popularity of cypto world and it's digital currencies would still be in a drowsy motion i.e competition amongst Bitcoin and other altcoins has made Bitcoin more popular and trust worthy for investment because, Bitcoin has proven its outstanding authenticity when compared to other altcoins.

indeed, in this case there are always pros and cons, but I think we as investors in btc don't need to be afraid and worried because after all, btc will still have the potential to become crypto no. 1 for long term.

so I really agree with your opinion with altcoins, of course, there is a positive side for bitcoin.

Indeed, if we are confident enough in bitcoin that it is the best coin and there is no coin to match it, then there is no reason for us to worry or fear when there are more altcoins.  the appearance of many altcoins, but no coin has ever usurped bitcoin, affirming that bitcoin is unique and will always lead above all.  Thanks to fiat, shitcoins...we realize how good and superior bitcoin is.  we will never know what is true beauty without ugliness to compare. it would be boring if only bitcoin or everything became monopolistic in life.

This shows that most people just use bitcoin as a speculative instrument for financial reasons and contrast it with fiat values. That makes Bitcoin just look the same as stocks and commodities, especially now that market participants have to be "controllers."

I don't think it's a problem that Bitcoin is considered a kind of stock or commodity because several countries place Bitcoin in that realm. In my country too, it is only one of the various types of investment assets. And in several other countries, it will always be adjusted depending on the Asset Trading Regulatory Agency.


You don't have to wait for the government to recognize bitcoin as a commodity or property, we did it ourselves with bitcoin. I mean, very few people consider bitcoin to be a currency like the concept that Satoshi created bitcoin.  since I wasn't involved in the early days I don't know who turned bitcoin into an investment, but since then, anyone introduced to bitcoin knows that bitcoin is a highly profitable investment.  so it can be said that it is we who have turned bitcoin into an asset, a commodity, not a government.
I think nobody actually turned it to a profitable means of investment but every good thing has various ways in which one can use it and for Bitcoin, it's because of the nature of the currency not to depreciate and get affected by inflation that  made it as a popular headline for a good investment means and moreover Bitcoin has proven that it's very reliable when it comes to using as an investment mean.

Satoshi created bitcoin in the hope that it would become a decentralized and peer-to-peer currency, he not mentioning the hope it would become a volatile investment in the bitcoin's white paper.  if no one turns it into an investment, why is it used as an investment where very few people know its original purpose?  Nowadays, anyone who comes to bitcoin knows only that investing in bitcoin will have a chance to make a profit.  nobody cares it could be a currency, decentralized...very few people care about that.

But that would be great, because I feel it would be a situation where they would be more motivated because if the performance drops and they have a lot of money when the players are not doing their job well then leaving the club is a certainty because Newcastle is trying to be a strong contender.
On the other hand, this should also serve as a wake-up call for the big clubs. Newcastle today is not the Newcastle of old where they were just a complementary club but today they are really a club that could be in the next few seasons a strong candidate for the championship even though now it is still a dark horse club.
True, Newcastle now cannot be underestimated because after they were acquired by Sheikh Arab their improvement is obvious.
In the first season they managed to get out of the relegation zone and were in the mid-table and in the second season (last season) they got better and even in the Champions League zone which of course this should be a notice for other clubs considering Newcastle is currently an underdog that must be watched out for.
This season they lost Allan Saint Maximin for going to an Arab club but they have also managed to bring in Barnes as a replacement and of course there is the name Tonali who could now be a highlighted player at Newcastle.


Newcastle United has spent a lot of money recently. And i definitely think that the money is going to show results.  Obviously i am not saying that they are certainly going to be the winner of the English Premier League or the Champions League. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that the caliber of players they have procured will undeniably augment the squad's overall quality to a significant extent.

The sheer fact of their participation in the upcoming Champions League competition speaks volumes about the remarkable progress the team has achieved within a very short time.  Hence, I am in complete agreement that it would be unwise for anyone, be it an individual or a club, to underestimate the magnitude of their capabilities.

469  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your reasons for adopting cryptocurrency? on: August 05, 2023, 02:31:55 PM
Reason why I have been into crypto or blockchain is because of the technology, how will it be able to help us have our own authority to our money, a freedom without holding us in the neck likes banks, and also the security, at the same time to be able to harness the technology and use it experience the use of blockchain in our daily life, imagine nothing us holding back to do things, because its decentralized , im just hoping that others will use it in a good way and not for bad things.

If you care about privacy then you should focus only on bitcoin and not the crypto market, because bitcoin is the only decentralized currency with real technology.  the rest is just a money game, a financial market for people to find ways to get each other's money, and without any real technology in existence. altcoins is just a place to flaunt clichés to trick people into falling into traps, it's not a place to learn technology.  but if you are also interested in making a profit and want to be safe, bitcoin should still be the choice, altcoins are more like a gambling market than an investment.

There are a lot of movies about BITCOIN and cryptocurrencies but can you guys with more experience tell newbies like me what movies to watch to understand more about crypto and how to make money from this market?
If you want to understand more about bitcoin, we have available documents, youtube videos that explain everything about bitcoin in detail and clearly.  why don't you go to them, why waste time looking for a movie about bitcoin?  to be honest, I have no interest in bitcoin movies because its purpose is not to propagate bitcoin to people but producers are taking advantage of its popularity to make movies with the desire to bring in revenue for them. 
If you really want to learn about bitcoin you should be serious about it, a documentary or a cartoon about bitcoin is never a good way to learn about it.
471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 05, 2023, 01:49:10 PM
Anyone following the Global T20 Canada? First we had the Qualifier match between Surrey Jaguars and Vancouver Knights. Surrey Jaguars made a decent total of 139/9, thanks to good contributions from Iftikhar Ahmed and Ayaan Khan. Ruben Trumpelmann took two wickets and Junaid Siddique picked up four. In return, Knights got bowled out for just 101. Matthew Forde took 4 wickets, and Sandeep Lamichhane chipped in with the wicket of Ravinderpal Singh. During the eliminator match, Montreal Tigers won against Brampton Wolves. The second qualifier will be played today, between Montreal Tigers and Vancouver Knights.   

Honestly, not following the global T-20 Canada very closely. But from what I have seen so far in the score, I can’t say that the tournament has been very entertaining for the most part. The quality is not at the top level. Improvements are certainly needed to be made. But what can I even say, there are not enough native players, actually not enough people in Canada probably interested in cricket right now. Canada could actually produce a lot of players if the people were more interested in cricket than LGBT bullshit.

Anyway, there have been a few matches played. It was pretty interesting to see till the end. Again I have not seen any matches from start to finish. I have just seen some clips from YouTube. I can say that the finish of some matches were interesting and pretty close. But the scores are just not enough. Need more fireworks.
472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: August 04, 2023, 10:27:26 PM
Arsenal can beat Manchester City in the Premier League competition. apart from that, there are several other teams that will join the celebrations in the competitive competition in the coming season. So, let's just wait, because it won't be long before the 2023/2024 Premier League season will start again soon.
Even before the start of the premier league, Manchester City and Arsenal will have a chance to play against each other in the community shield this Sunday. This will be a good chance for people to seem if the addition of new players to Arsenal like Rice, Havertz and Timber will give them the chance and opportunity to finally have a win over Manchester City after being dominated by them for a very long time now in all competitions they have met. It will also be a good opportunity for the new Manchester City players to win their first title with their new team.

Right now, it is unexpected how the match is going to turn out. Manchester City is obviously very good thing. And Arsenal brought in some new players that supposed to make a one of the best. But we have to remember that it is the start of the season. Then sometimes the teams do not perform as expected at this time of the season. So it is certainly going to be interesting to see if both of them can perform well. And I obviously don’t know what the coaches are planning. But I think they are going to go in this match with the full strength of their squads.
473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 04, 2023, 10:15:19 PM
Impossible rumor with Milan want to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli, I don't think Milan have enough money for paying 100 million euro or above from this values for paying fees transfer. Usually AC Milan is the teams interested for signing players not get regular position in their teams with lower fees transfer. Current Milan transfer activities, most player signing after their contract have been over and easily signing with free agent without paying transfer fees.

Its not difference level and player composition between Napoli and AC Milan, I think Victor Osimhen will prefer staying with Napoli than move to AC Milan will difficult chance winning scudetto next season.
I'm not underestimating Milan's financial capabilities if they really want to sign Osimhen, but it seems that the rumor is very irresponsible. Osimhen is likely to be better off playing for Napoli than moving to Milan, but it is always possible to find himself playing for another team outside of Serie A regardless of whether in the Arab Pro League or also maybe to France with PSG.

Of course I'm not saying it's impossible in football, but it's hard to believe that Milan are really interested in recruiting Osimhen, who incidentally has a super expensive transfer value. So yes, Milan are not to sign Osimhen and so far the rumors don't seem strong.

There is no problem Milan wanting to bring Victor Osimhen or not but there is no way he is willing to leave Napoli right now.. And I don’t see why a player will go from Napoli to Milan right now. Do not see this as an upgrade for that player. After all money is not everything. If he is able to perform well in his current team, with his current team, he will eventually get better contract. It is obviously not impossible for this to happen. We have seen weird things happen in football. But I have to say that this is certainly only a rumour and this does not have any strength behind it.

I hope school keeps me busy enough to not think about bitcoin so i can HODL longer haha. Good luck to everyone and continue to HODL !! it will be worth it Smiley 

I know this is just your joke, but don't be too subjective because everything in the future is unpredictable.  always improve your knowledge of bitcoin and the market so you don't fall behind, and the more knowledge you have, the better you understand bitcoin thereby helping you to be more confident in your investment.

I admire you as a student being able to hold the amount of bitcoin that many people are dreaming of.  i don't know if bitcoin can make you richer, but it will make your life more worthwhile.
475  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Borrow to Buy Bitcoin is Not Advisable.Consider the Factors Before Doing That. on: August 04, 2023, 02:07:57 PM
When responding to whether to borrow money or not to buy bitcoin, I think we should look at the two sides of the argument. First if you know that you can afford to do that and be able to bear the risk then nothing stops the individual from taking out the loan. We all have different risks appetite, and it varies from person to person. In one of his interviews, Michael Saylor recommends using debt to your gain in certain monetary environments. Now remember the risk appetite I talked about, he suggests that if anyone ones to borrow money, first, they should endure that it has low interest rates, and it should be used to buy tangible assets that will potentially appreciate in value. Lastly, if you are going to borrow money to buy bitcoin, please do it because you want to hold for the long term.


I agree with your thinking, we do not need to be too strict in borrowing capital for investment or business if we have the ability to accept risks as well as repay debt in other ways.  to be successful, we need to step out of our comfort zone, not be too shy and expect a good outcome by doing nothing. But not so that we defy everything and invest blindly.  i mean, we need to plan and prepare everything carefully because life is full of surprises, so always have a plan for the worst case scenario.
476  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bold step to invest my fiat in Bitcoin on: August 04, 2023, 01:46:03 PM
Congratulations mate on your first Bitcoin purchase. it's indeed a bold step in the right direction. One most striking benefit of Bitcoin is it's divisibility which enables both the high and low income earners to buy the coin. Just keep increasing your coins based on your income, keep them in a safe wallet and wait patiently. Who knows, you might make so much profit in few years. It is also important to note that Bitcoin doesn't guarantee financial freedom but it could be part of your financial freedom plans. That's why it is important to diversify your income base. All the best bro.
Bitcoin doesn't guarantee financial freedom but it makes the journey to your financial freedom easier, I don't see anything as profitable as Bitcoin investment, not from Real estate, not any Stocks, Bitcoin stands out from the others.

There is a fact that shouldn't be ignored though, that is the more you invest in Bitcoin the better your reward in few years time, everyone has his or her own amount that they can afford to lose but constant DCA is the best strategy, because the period to DCA into Bitcoin is limited, a time will come that it will be too late to buy, until the next bear market returns.

Do not invest small amount and lock up, thinking it's enough, remember that you are hoping for a brighter future that's why you are investing, so whenever you make good amount of money and you can afford to lose a part, make sure you invest that back into Bitcoin.



Bitcoin's returns are bigger than all traditional investments and that's why we all choose bitcoin over other investments.  but the higher the return, the higher the risk, there is no asset that offers high returns that is safe. therefore, investing more in bitcoin will give you a better chance of getting a bigger profit, but don't forget that if you fail, the loss will also be bigger.  Bitcoin no matter how good is risky so only invest with money you can lose and don't affect your life.
477  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: SEC asked Coinbase to halt trading in everything except BITCOIN, CEO says on: August 03, 2023, 12:44:39 PM
Altcoins are a big mess, I saw this coming since many platforms are now complete crypto project builder, you don't have to do the hard work anymore, just go to the platform and click few buttons and viola, your new crypto project is ready, the moment I saw this I knew its going to create a lot of mess in crypto space, I know that there were bad projects in 2016 and 2017 but you need to learn how to build a token or maybe hire someone to do it, it was way complicated then but now even a 12 years old can do it, meaning more shit coins will keep showing up, I like what Gensler is doing but I do hope he has no other mission,

I wish shit coins can be gone from crypto space, Builders are now becoming millionaires exciting liquidity on the investors.

There are some set of investors in crypto space that prefer investing in meme shitcoins for quick gain than waiting for years to make some money, they know Polygon, and others but they still prefer Vinu inu and crappy tokens.


The goal you invest in bitcoin is profit, others like to invest shitcoin is also profit.  what is the difference while your goals and theirs are the same?
Just because you can't profit from altcoins and you hate it, that doesn't mean others won't be able to profit like you.  the cryptocurrency industry needs many elements to form, bitcoin alone cannot make the market today.  many people don't even know about bitcoin, they enter the market because of the shitcoin hype, but when they get in and know about bitcoin, they invest in bitcoin.

Altcoins and CEXs are not entirely useless, they contribute greatly to the crypto market to this day, although some of them are scams but not all.
478  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as an inflation hedge on: August 03, 2023, 12:36:57 PM
I think it will not totally replace local currency because government can make rule to make sure the civilian use local currency only. but I think Bitcoin will dominating virtual transaction replacing paypal and etc. bitcoin has a lot of advantage rather than remittance service because it don't need employee to operate , so the operating cost will be lower, even it's only need internet and electricity. although bitcoin is still volatile but it is one of best way to avoid inflation.

I think that's the reason why El Salvador wanted to adopt bitcoins as legal tender in their country and their government supported it until today. looks like their decision was good because we can see that they had good responses and positive results in their economy after they did that. That's why the other countries are willing to do the same but their government seems not unanimous towards it and they happened to not convince by El Salvador's current economy. Perhaps they just need a strong convincing impact where they don't have to doubt that decision and finally be like that country that fully made bitcoins legal tender in their country.


I also follow the news about El Salvador but not much.  But honestly, I don't see any positive progress or improvement since they accepted bitcoin as a legal tender. bitcoin is just a highly volatile investment, an asset, how can it help a country's economy go up?  a country's economy cannot rely on investing in high-risk assets to get rich and prosperous, not to mention El Salvador buys a lot of bitcoin but at a very high price, meaning they are still losing money.
479  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Beginners, you don't need Bitcoin first on: August 03, 2023, 12:27:17 PM
You don't need Bitcoin first, What you need is a JOB, work on that first.
The point is that finance is not forbidding it, but limiting it and making sure to make any decisions based on numbers, not emotions. I understand a little what the OP said, and I think it's not only newbies who have to carry out suggestions like this, those who are not beginners should also implement a system like this. Because bitcoin is an asset that is used for investment if you don't have a job, how do we start investing? by way of debt? this will worsen our finances.

The mindset must be changed, don't buy Bitcoin expecting to get rich in a short time, but buying bitcoin means we are ready to lose money. Therefore, what is needed first is not to buy bitcoin, but how do we find work, that way 30% of the money we get from our new job buys bitcoin in stages every time we receive a salary from work.
Well, there are also some instances that we get to invest in bitcoin because we received huge amount of money from our inherited assets, and not from our hard-earned money from our job. I think that is a good mindset too, trying to diversify your investments and not just letting your cash sleeps in the bank. However, in case your investments do not worked as planned, and all your savings have started to run out, then you should land a stable job that will sustain your needs before all your investments and hard-earned savings will be gone. But if you can get a stable source of income in the first place, I guess that will help you grow your investments without the need to sell your bitcoin whenever its price suddenly crashed.

Newbies don't really need to make an investment immediately in the cryptocurrency because they just carried away with the hype of other people, ideal first they understand how the bitcoin works so they see the benefits of the cryptocurrency itself after on that secure of the accounts, wallets, or asset as possible actually few only teaches this kind of thing because there's no safe in the internet people are still prone with the hacking issues.
Another thing for the newbies not ideal to make a single pot with your investment ideal to scatter so if the other investment does not win you have another resources that could pullback those losses.

Right, whether it's inheritance or savings from income, newbies shouldn't rush to invest in bitcoin without any knowledge of it.  they don't need to spend a lot of time learning everything and waiting for a solid amount of knowledge to start investing, because if they do, they will most likely miss the opportunity to buy cheap.  but at least, they must have the most basic knowledge to start investing.  Diversification is inevitable but it will not be enough, they also need other sources of income from other investments, or a job to ensure safety.

Wow! What a finale. Stuart Broad went out in style with both the bat and ball. England managed to win this one by 40+ runs when it looked like the Australians would end up cruising to victory.

Woakes was the game-changer! I thought Stokes dropped the match when he dropped Smith's catch, but he got out pretty quickly. Also, Bairstow took a stunner for a change behind the wicket.

Overall, Australia luckily retained the Ashes thanks to rain, but England came back brilliantly.

We witness one of the most interesting Ashes series and this final match was the best of the 5 match series. We never knew who will be the winner of this match until the last day. Australia fought hard but England once again proved a better team. England won this test match by 49 runs and the Ashes ended in a draw 2-2.

By the way, England was unlucky in the 4th test match, had it not rained, they would have easily won this test match and therefore the series too. Anyways it's part of history now. Officially it's 2-2.

I don’t think anybody had given a chance to England after australia went ahead in this ashes series by 2-0. We thought australia was surely going to win, at least one of the three remaining matches. But in the end I think that is the exact mistake australia made. They thought that as well and took things lightly. And that was the chance for England to make a comeback. Of course I also agree that if there was no rain in the fourth test, England could have won the series.
