Lukaku has reach to his top performance in Inter when Conte train this team so probably he feel with reunited with Conte he will be able to performing well again but Tottenham has Kane and Son which is where their performance is much better than Lukaku in Premier League so in my opinion moved to Tottenham is risky for his career because possibly he will spend his time on the bench because being an substitution player for those players

On the other hand although with Inter Lukaku has spending more time with injuries but apparently Inter still trust him and they hopes Lukaku can find his shape again that's why Inter thinking possibilities to extended his loan duration but they want cut off the price because Lukaku's performance is not as expected

Exactly, Lukaku is not going to even probably get good enough chances to prove himself in Tottenham. Because there are obviously better players for the job. Players who have actually proved themselves in the English Premier League.

So, I don't think that among all these players, Lukaku is going to be the best choice. And it is also true that his performance has certainly dropped. He is someone who had a lot of potentials, but moving to the English Premier League, has proven to be detrimental to his career.

Hello friends
Do you currently have at least 1 bitcoin?
I don’t have and It is not mandatory for everyone to have the full 1 Bitcoin.  He buys and holds bitcoins according to his ability. Very few people own 1 whole Bitcoin because Bitcoin has a limited supply. And whoever owns 1 bitcoin can own huge amount of money if he holds it for 8-10 years.  Because 1 bitcoin = millions of dollars can be released.  Because its supply is low, but as Bitcoin spreads across the world and is used for various purposes, its value will increase exponentially.

And if you do not have a full 1 bitcoin, you should take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate 1 bitcoin for yourself and, if possible accumulate a few bitcoins. We are still in its infancy, and bitcion has not achieved real value yet as many people don't know about it, we should feel extremely lucky to be able to buy bitcoin at the current price. Once bitcoin is worth millions of dollars, owning 1 bitcoin will be impossible, that's why I hope bitcoin won't go up soon so I can accumulate.

It's great that you have taken the time to teach bitcoin to those around you, and I believe that questions about bitcoin price will always be asked in every lesson, and I can see that you cannot avoid mistakes. Giving financial advice to others is something we should avoid as much as possible because no one can predict the future. Everything happened, and it won't be too serious even if bitcoin drops again, as long as they don't sell bitcoin, they won't lose. But you should avoid doing this again in the future.
1324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 30, 2023, 08:21:03 AM
This week's results have been really interesting, I think most people who bet have lost money in Serie A. The match results of Juventus and Milan are truly unbelievable. Of course, their opponents were not very weak, but I did not think that they would concede so many goals.
I never expected AC Milan to be that horrible today, they were absolutely rubbish today, then juventus came and did their worst by lossing to Monza that just came back from relegation, I don't see Juventus evening making European League this season with the nonsense they are playing. They are not just playing as if they what to improve, they play like they are okay with the results they are getting. What happened with the likes of Paul Pogba,  and the rest big names players they have, I really pity Juventus this season.

Right now there are a lot of surprises going on in this Italian league. Nothing is actually certain in this league. And I think we can get the idea of that because only a few days ago we saw Juventus being in the second position of the table. Now they are somewhere near 10. That's how quickly things are changing in this league.

Honestly, I know that the first position of the table is being dominated by Napoli right now. I know they are ahead by a lot of points. But I am still not sure that they will actually be able to win this series A title eventually.

Sunday's transfer gossip:
Newcastle and Tottenham could move for 29-year-old Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku, who is currently on loan at Inter Milan from Chelsea, in the summer. Does this mean that Lukaku is returning to England again?
Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/64441281
The value of Newcastle United is rising day by day. I think this transfer will be a great opportunity for Romelu Lukaku. Because he seems to have left his prime period behind. He may not get the opportunity to play for bigger teams again. His performance in recent years has been in a sharp decline. Even if he transfers to Tottenham, he may not be able to go back to his old days. But maybe he can do it in Newcastle. Because Eddie Howe used Chris Wood very well. He can do the same for Romelu Lukaku. Both players have similar characteristics.

I think if Romelu Lukaku decides to go to Tottenham, it is going to be a bad move because Tottenham is expected to achieve so much right now. But compared to that no one actually expects too much from Newcastle United. Even if Newcastle United stays in the same position that they are in right now, I don't think that anyone is going to make a big fuss out of it. And because of that, he is not going to have too much pressure to perform. So eventually his performance is going to be good in my opinion. At least better compared to what he might have been doing in Tottenham.
1326  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto Market on the Rise, But Proceed with Caution! on: January 29, 2023, 12:46:55 PM
I just know that bitcoin had hit the lowest price of the year at $15k and after that, it bounced up again and eventually, the price of bitcoin reached the price we are seeing now. But to say that it's not the lowest price, I can't say for sure because it could go back to $15k and then drop even further.

But now the market conditions are better than a few months before so many of us can benefit. Their bitcoin investment is starting to show positive results. They can start selling it now or keep holding it until the next ATH is reached.
^So you mean there is another button price this year
Though it is unpredictable of the BTC price I did not see a reason BTC will again have a correction in that range, it could be there is a correction but it will not exceed $20k. I believed that this is the start of the bull market showing it is a healthy market, everyone was excited to see the new ATH who knows it could be this year even if the next halving did not happen yet. So if you have another way to spend without using BTC, I will do, because every sats now are very important.

There is no certainty that bitcoin will make a new bottom this year, but there is also no guarantee that bitcoin will recover and never drop below $20k again, it's all uncertain. You don't see any reason for bitcoin to drop, but I also see no reason to say bitcoin will rise this year what is happening is not enough to say we are over the bear season and entering the bull season. Bitcoin is unpredictable, so there's nothing wrong with it if you're careful and have a backup plan, don't be too subjective.
1327  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin trading or Investing in the stock market on: January 29, 2023, 12:37:05 PM
If I only have to choose one of them, I rather choose investing in stock market. Investing in stock market has a very low risk if you really have knowledge on it. You will not get liquidated if the price drops. You just wait until the price goes up, but it takes so much time before we gain a lot. Bitcoin trading is really difficult, we really don't know the next move of the market. You will experience losses in trading but if you have a good mindset and strat you will overcome it and gain a lot of money in a short period of time. So in terms of risks, Bitcoin trading is more riskier than investing in stock but Bitcoin trading could make you rich in no time if you really know how it works with proper mindset and good strat.

Both are financial markets and don't say bitcoin is unpredictable, even with the stock market, you can never predict what will happen. The only difference is that bitcoin is much more volatile than the stock market, but the more volatile it is, the easier it is to make big profits. To get a profit from trading based on your knowledge, don't try to blame bitcoin when you don't profit from bitcoin. If you don't like high volatility, then stocks are more suitable for you, bitcoin is not for the faint of heart.
1328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: January 28, 2023, 07:07:29 PM
The Australian women's final between Sabalenka and Rybakin is very certain and dramatic. The current score is 1:1 in sets and 3:3 in the third set.
A very interesting match to watch and a good preparation for tomorrow's men's final  Grin
It is interesting that in the media, at least in my country, more is being written about the incident with Djokovic's fans for holding Russian flags and symbols, and their meeting with Djokovic's father, than about the upcoming final tomorrow.
Last year we read about Djokovic's deportation, this year about flags and symbols worn by fans, and we listen and read the least about sports.
This is a lot of pressure for Djokovic, he should be focusing on his tennis and his game, instead he has to think about things like this and why his father won't be watching his match live tomorrow.
I hope this doesn't affect his match tomorrow.
Sabalenka, who was always criticized for her mentality and attitude, got back the match she fell behind with a great comeback, especially in the 3rd set, she served very well, reduced mistakes and scored a lot of winners, especially in that last game. She came out of a draw 4 times and got her first grand slam. She showed how much he improved his mental and service with this tournament and this match. Consistency in women's tennis is something that we rarely come across. The last and most specific example is the iga swiatek. Sabalenka and Rybakina are considered players with high potential and ceiling. I am sure we will see more of their names in the grand slam finals in the coming years.

I also agree with the thing about Djokovich. I don't like to see these things in the sports. He should just focus on his game and career. Other stuff shouldn't affect us, the simple viewer.

Sabalenka won the final match between her and Rybakina. She is the Australian women's winner right now. And it was a really great match.  Rybakina did actually find it hard to perform well in this match.

The men's final is going to be very interesting. So far I honestly think that Novak Djokovic is going to be the winner. And he is also certainly the favorite. But it is the Australian Open final. So his opponent Tsitsipas it's all suckable enough performing road. So, I think we should not rule out any chance of surprises in this match. I also hope that the personal issues of Novak Djokovic does not affect his performance in the final.
1329  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is the factor that affects the price of bitcoin on: January 28, 2023, 10:06:21 AM
There are many factors that affect the price of a commodity and bitcoin is no different, external influences like macroeconomics to internal influences like market news, but the biggest factor that will determine the price of bitcoin is supply and demand. But currently, bitcoin price is not determined by supply and demand, sharks manipulate bitcoin price. The bitcoin market is still small, so manipulation is inevitable. Over time as bitcoin becomes more mature and larger, manipulation will gradually disappear, and it will depend mainly on supply and demand.
1330  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CEX deserves all criticism but not the hate on: January 28, 2023, 09:54:35 AM
I've used a few of the exchanges you mentioned above and so far, I do not encounter any issues and everything is still working fine. I still use CEX over DEX due to the convenience factor of trading and I haven't tried using DEX yet.

But it's true what you suggest that we don't keep all our funds in CEX because we don't know what will happen later. We should anticipate all the things that might happen than regret it later.

I have used DEX, but to be honest, I still prefer CEX, CEX provides more services and utilities than DEX. And I like you, never had a problem with CEX, I think we shouldn't hate all CEX just because FTX crashes. Cryptocurrency is a market that is always risky all around us, so whether CEX or DEX, never put too much trust in them, don't leave assets on CEX or DEX, they are all unreliable. We can continue to use CEX as long as we never leave money on it we will have no problem.

Same here, I am uncomfortable using DEXes, maybe because I am used in the interface of a CEX.  Besides CEX makes it easy to trade different cryptocurrencies without the trouble of opening different kinds of wallets due to different networks.  No matter how we see it, CEX makes trading different cryptocurrencies more comfortable and easier.  Even though it is easier to trade in CEX, it is not advisable to use it as a safe to keep our funds in it since it is not designed that way.

I think the people who hate CEX are people who only invest in bitcoin, and they think that using CEX has taken away the decentralization and anonymity of bitcoin. In general, we can't blame those people, they have their reasons, and they're not wrong. But the truth is that most people enter the market for profit, not for technology. So they will invest in bitcoin and altcoin, and for the convenience of making money, centralized exchanges are indispensable. As long as we use it wisely, we will always be safe.

Crazy footage online posted by Conor McGregor showing the aftermath of him being hit by a car while on a bike ride. Pretty scary. He seemed in good spirits and forgiving of the guy who hit him, who then gave him a ride and appeared on camera driving him. Athletes really shouldn’t be training outside on bikes like this because things like this can happen. As sad as it is to say, you can’t trust people to not do stupid things like hit a bicyclist when they aren’t paying attention. Luckily it seems no major harm was done and McGregor kept his cool.
Seems to have not sustained any serious injuries too, so it shouldn't effect his comeback, whenever that is. I haven't seen the video yet, but it's actually quite refreshing to hear he was nice after the incident. I know a lot of the fans are speculating that this is set up due to his recent allegations, but I'm not sure if that has any substance at all. Sometimes, people can be nice when bad things happen, and usually it's in times like this where it could've gone much worse.

Whenever we see a bike accident, we are generally very scared because bike accidents are not very good for any biker. Because compared to a car, a bike does not have too much safety. And that can often cause any bike rider to have a serious injury. It's actually very good that nothing like that happened. And it does not seem like he had any serious injuries. And he should be all right in a maximum of a week or two.
1332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 28, 2023, 08:27:33 AM
Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana pacers went off huge tonight. Between the 2 teams there was 272 points scored. That's pretty high IMO. Bucks got the win 141-131 and Giannis was the top scorer with 41. We see a lot of scores in the NBA in the 100s-120s range but 140 points in a game is just amazing.
Ya, that was a crazy high scoring game. We’re seeing more and more of those this season as the pace in the NBA continues to quicken. I’m sure we’re only a few years away from seeing a 200 point score in a game.

The Splash Brothers also went off tonight in a pretty high scoring game. Steph Curry especially had a great shooting night and nearly a triple double. Safe to say he’s feeling healthy.

Antetokounompo absolutely went big in this match. He dropped 41 points for the Bucks. And of course, this was a very high-scoring match. For the Bucks Giannis went really big butt for the Indiana Pacers, the whole team played really well and it was a good all round performance from the Indiana Pacers. The only thing they needed after that was a great individual performance like Giannis did for the Milwaukee Bucks.

I myself might only actually see the main event. Because I believe that is probably the only fight that at this moment gets me interested.
I'll watch the whole event, as I quite like just MMA, and aren't there to just watch the big names. However, I won't be personally supporting any of the fighters, especially since I won't be betting on it. Too many close calls as you say. I'll get some predictions out, but I'm not expecting good results from it. The last two events for me I've nearly nailed every single fight, but this isn't one of those events that I'd be confident in doing that.

Actually, I have honestly been spoiled especially because of Conor McGregor, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Anderson Silva, and a lot of others. I have seen them fight. So it is going to be really hard for me to find interest in these types of fights which are happening on the 4th of February.

Actually, in my time zone, it's going to be on 5th February but that's all right. I am also not going to give any predictions. Because even though I say I am not going to follow this event very closely, I know that almost every fight in this event is going to be very competitive and close.

~~~ Only if we all die of planet earth before bitcoin can be zero.

This is an exaggerated statement, the value of bitcoin is created by people's beliefs, once people no longer believe in it, and no longer need to use it, it will become worthless and will become obsolete. Bitcoin lives or dies, has value or not, it all depends on human needs, if in the future there is a new better technology, a better asset than bitcoin, and people have a need to switch to it. People will stop mining bitcoin, stop using it, bitcoin will die and disappear like it never existed.
1336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: January 27, 2023, 05:59:49 AM
Just looked at the full card for the 4th of Feb. Honestly, I'm not all that hyped about this event. We've got some well matched fights, but really other than Spivak, and Derrick we don't really have any big names competing on the day. Feel like this might be one of those events that doesn't look great on paper because of the lack of names, but actually turns out to be one of the better more competitive nights.

I'm just excited to see Jon Jones back in action, so I'll forgive them for their lack of big names on this event. I'll probably give this a miss in terms of betting though. I'll still get some predictions out.

To be honest, almost all of these fights on the 4th of February are very close as it seems to me. There are not many big names at the event. But I believe that the fights are going to be very competitive and closely contested. But the reason why a lot of people are probably going to even miss this event is the lack of big names and starfighters.

I myself might only actually see the main event. Because I believe that is probably the only fight that at this moment gets me interested.
1337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: January 26, 2023, 11:37:35 AM

Like the ODI series, the Pakistan women's team might lose badly against Australia in the T20 series as well. In fact, Pakistan women's team is quite weak compared to Australia women's team. But even then they will concede defeat in every match so badly it is hard to accept. Pakistan Women's team has been badly beaten in all three matches in the ODI series. They lost the first match of the T20 series.

Pakistan women's team won the toss and decided to bat in today's match. At the end of 13 overs, Pakistan collected 63 runs with the loss of three wickets. Maybe Pakistan will give a target like 130. A target of more than 130 might make the match competitive, but Pakistan doesn't seem likely to win.

The first T20 was absolutely horrible for Pakistan women. They could only give a target of 118. And the Australian women chased down the target in only 13.2 over. That was humiliation. On the same track where Pakistan found it really hard to score, Australia was scoring like it was really easy. The player of the match was Megan but I thought Ellyse Perry was supposed to be the player of the match. Probably because it was a 5 wickets performance from Megan.
1338  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Big money bad for bitcoin in the long run on: January 26, 2023, 07:49:05 AM
As bitcoin continues on its current bullish path, all kinds of people are trying to ride this wave by buying any cheap coins they can get their hands on as they anticipate the next High to come. But the scary part about this is that Big money is also flowing into the crypto economy that will push price to easily register new highs, but this comes at a price, when these whales decide to take out their money.. markets bleed red which is why Big money is not good if volatility is to be controlled. In the long run Bitcoin is better off without the Big money, otherwise this becomes like a pyramid scheme always leaving the last man standing with empty pockets as the first guy to make a move gets all the accumulated $$$$.

What's the community's take on this?

I like the opposite of your idea, when a large amount of money is pushed into the market, the market will have strong fluctuations from which there is a chance to make more profits. In addition, we want bitcoin to grow and become big and solid, we need a large amount of money because small amounts only make the market slow and more difficult to develop. I understand what you are trying to say is moving towards a stable, sustainable market, but bitcoin is still a manipulated market, and it is still a game, there are winners and losers.

You should ask the opposite question, can CBDC compete with bitcoin? Because bitcoins are created first, and CBDCs are being created. But it doesn't matter who is trying to compete, what matters is that CBDC is not comparable to bitcoin. To me, CBDC is no different from fiat money, it is just a digital version of fiat, and we already know that fiat is not comparable to bitcoin. Not only CBDC, but I believe in the crypto industry, no coin can compete or surpass bitcoin, bitcoin is king and always will be king of crypto.
1340  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: January 23, 2023, 07:51:30 PM
With big clubs, experience is more important than recent form and if their players still have ambition and reasons to fight, they can play very well. Like Liverpool, they are in a bad season with many problems from injuries to bad performances of players. Nevertheless I think their players have more willingness to fight in Champions League. They still have a good squad and Premier League is over for them as they can not beat Arsenal or Manchester City to win Premier League. In Champions League, knock-out phase will start in February and they can win a few matches and have another final match.
There are less matches in Champions League to win its trophy and with knock-out matches, everything can occur.
Quote
Because there is no more experienced team than Real Madrid on a platform like the Champions League. I also checked the results of the previous head-to-head matches between these two teams. The Liverpool team could not win even one of the last 6 head to head matches. Real Madrid won 5 matches and drew 1 match. In addition, in these 6 matches, Liverpool scored only 2 goals, on the other hand, Real Madrid scored 11 goals. The Liverpool team will be much ahead in the statistics of the previous matches.
Experience and form are different things. Even a club have excellent form but if they don't have enough experience in Champions League, they can lose easily in knock-out phase.
Real Madrid won many trophies there because they are a big club, with so great tradition and their players already experienced many matches in Champions League against big giants there. With a pride of champion and strong mentality, they don't give up if matches have yet ended.
In the past season, Real Madrid reverted many matches so impressively with many big victims PSG, Chelsea, Manchester City. Liverpool is one of favorite opponents for Real Madrid. During Klopp era, many times Real Madrid won against Liverpool.

To a certain extent, I disagree with what you have said. It is true that experience is significant, but the form of the players also has a huge impact on the mood of the players, which is evident on the field as well. Due to the fact that Liverpool have had a difficult season so far, I don't think that they will be able to give Real Madrid a hard time in this game. It has always been a difficult task to beat them, even with an on-form Liverpool squad, let alone one that is off-form. My prediction is that Real Madrid will win this game.
