I think that it wouldn't be fair to write off Manchester United so soon in the tournament. Because they won the Europa League before and they qualified for the finale in the 2020/21 season also. Even in the times they play badly in the English Premier League they still manage to do better in the Europa League. Currently I can't say that they are that much bad in their domestic league. But we will see how effective they will maintain both tournaments at the same time.
Above all else, the Barcelona draw is very crucial. It is no different than a finale and the winner will have eliminated one of the title contenders already. I'm supporting Barcelona honestly but I can't fully trust them because of their losses against big teams until now.
The only problem I have with Manchester United is that they are really inconsistent on a regular basis. Then, on top of all of that, they have released Cristiano Ronaldo as well, which is also a big blow to them. Their current situation is that they lack a suitable striker in the squad, and they really need to be able to sign one in this transfer window otherwise they will be in big trouble. As a matter of fact, it seems as though the next match between Manchester United and Barcelona will somewhat determine who will be the winner of the Europa League this season, as it seems these two seem to be the most likely winners. |

People have already started to talk about a probable Mbappe exit from PSG by this summer. Mbappe's name is called with Real Madrid as usual. They are showing various reasons as a motivation for him to do so. For example, a Champions League title would be one of the strong motivations for him to do so. PSG must also be aware of this situation that they are fully concentrated on getting the title this season. Yes, maybe Mbappe already has a huge contract but they can't rely on just that.
Because Real Madrid also have the financial power to meet his demands easily. So PSG need to worry about the Champions League the most now. Who knows maybe this season might be the last one we are watching him playing for them if they don't win the title.
It has been more than two seasons since Kylian Mbappe has been linked with Real Madrid. In fact, they came very close to signing him, but PSG made him an offer he could not refuse, and he was unable to reject it. There is no guarantee that that will work this time around as Real Madrid are far more interested in him, and Florentino Pérez is keen to bring him to Madrid if he gets the chance. There is a big reason for PSG not being able to win any of the Champions League competitions, as well as the fact that every player dreams of playing in the Real Madrid jersey one day in his life. |

VFL Bochum are at a relegation place with 13 points and have the worst defence with 36 goals conceded. In order to score more goals than to get they have now strengthened themselves. Keven Schlotterbeck comes from Freiburg on loan until the end of the season. He is a central defender and only extended his contract with Freiburg in summer. He will certainly be a great help for Bochum.
VfL Bochum need all the help they can get from new recruitments, even if i don't think the signing of Keven would help them escape relegation, but at least they can try and see what would happen. Schalke are the only team worse than Bochum in the bundesliga this season, and things are not looking good for the both of them. But the bundesliga this season is so tight, Bochum in 17th position are on 13 points, while Mainz up in 10th position are on 19 points, just 6 points gap, everything is all so close and positions can change very fast, maybe even Bochum has a good chance of escaping relegation. The Bochum football club are in a really difficult position this season, as they are the second-last placed team in the league, and they only have 13 points, which means that they are in the relegation zone. However, they have also loaned in Nico Schlotterbeck from Freiburg, who will be a significant asset to them until the end of the season. One of the main problems they have is that they do not score enough goals. So I think they should at least consider on loan one or two strikers and wingers as soon as possible. |

Thank you all for your replies.
I will try to contact Microsoft to find a solution
Even if the site is still active, which is unlikely, and even if you had a few bitcoins in your account at the time, which were worth only a few dollars, it is unlikely that the site owner would have left such an amount of money in a dormant account for so long. It's worth noting that the value of 1 BTC soared to over 60k USD in 2021. So that money is most likely gone long ago. Exactly, even if that site is alive the chances are almost zero as things have changed in the last 12 years. When OP got those free bitcoins, it was worth less than 1 dollar, and now they are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, asking the site to pay for those bitcoins will never happen. OP, those bitcoins were once in your possession, but since you don't withdraw them to your non-custodial wallet, if you can find them again, they will have no reason to pay you. Their value has changed a lot, no one gives you hundreds of thousands of dollars for free. |

Maybe Dortmund aren't in a very favourable condition in the league now. But even if they were at the second position in the standings they wouldn't still have been able to compete with Bayern Munich at the same level. We all know about their priorities rather than a Bundesliga championship. We have already talked about this many times here I guess. As long as the board doesn't completely change I won't be expecting any big change in Dortmund's business model. They will just continue to prioritize making a lot of profit in selling young players.
Bellingham is about to be another candidate for that by next summer you know. He will be a Real Madrid player most probably.
Dortmund was a good team but currently their performance is going bad. After Halland's departure, they could not add any player to fill Halland's place in their team. In view of which, Dortmund have some problems in attack. Dortmund is a business inclined team, they dwell more on business than on trophies. Halland's departure was a highly lucrative gain for them. They are always lucky to get a good player at an early age but they always find it so difficult to keep them when they start making names. Now they currently don't have any other vibrant midfielder but they are already at the edge of selling out Jude Bellingham, and this will cause more arm to the team. Dortmund is in the sixth position on the table, and they have also lost their last two matches. And Dortmund has also lost against the two teams that are in there very next position from them on the table, Mönchengladbach, and Wolfsburg. I think we can say that Dortmund is not doing very well. And I don’t have much hope for them this season. I do not think that they will be able to improve in a way that they will be able to compete for the top three positions on the table. And Dortmund is not going to be too much worried about that because winning trophies is not their primary target anyway. |

Arsenal again got something they really hoped for because the teams under them, Manchester City and Newcastle, got a draw. This keeps their points away from the pursuit of their competitors' competitors. Arsenal, on the other hand, managed to win again and at the same time extended their winning streak until this week.
They had the upper hand now, as they had some unexpected results from their competitors. If Arsenal can continue to extend their winning streak, it will be a little more difficult for other teams to catch up.
Arsenal are back to playing dominantly they still deserve their successive wins because what I saw in yesterday's game with Brighton was great because they were able to score 4 goals even though they only replied to 2 goals by this opponent it was getting more difficult for other teams to catch Arsenal who had the upper hand as current standings. Coincidentally, Manchester City and Newcastle have to draw points between them, they are still close except for Arsenal, while in Week 19 the two will face tough teams, Arsenal vs Newcastle and Manchester City vs Chelsea. This is certainly a tough task, but at least who can points will further distance Arsenal from it's just that Newcastle must be able to hold or beat him. a big advantage for Arsenal after Manchester City and Newcastle failed to get full points so with this the distance in points on the standings is getting further away, with a 7 point lead I think it is quite comfortable for Arsenal at the top of the standings even though they also have to be consistent. Arsenal's game is still pretty good so far, even though it was doubtful that they could be consistent, but so far they have been able to prove it. Against Newcastle in the next match, of course, it will be very difficult for Arsenal because Newcastle's performance has also been quite good so far, but I have no doubts that Arsenal will be able to overcome this hurdle. Arsenal must be quite happy right now. Because Arsenal is still in the first position on the table. And the teams below them did not win. So this gives Arsenal a lot more breathing space right now. Things are looking really good for Arsenal. But Arsenal themselves will have to be careful because they have some really important and difficult matches coming up right now. Arsenal cannot drop points in those matches. This is a great chance for Arsenal to win the English Premier League title. I hope that they will not let this chance get out of their hands. |

~~ Although its sad to see BTC still didn't decouple from traditional finance, I'm still up to seeing the long-term RSI indicator to be a good buy even on $16500.
It is a fact that many people do not want to accept, bitcoin is a decentralized asset, but it cannot escape the constraints of the current economy or financial industry. Once this problem is not solved, bitcoin will hardly be considered as a hedge against inflation. 2022 was a challenging year for bitcoin as we had inflation and what happened was not what we expected bitcoin also depreciated due to inflation. But if we can keep it long, maybe until the next crisis, inflation, perhaps it will work. We may not have bottomed yet, but I believe we are very close to the bottom, so there is no reason to wait and not buy. |

I am also not in the favor of taking loans to try new stuff but if you are damn sure that you know something and that will work out for sure if you have capital then it's not the worst idea to take a loan.
During the pandemic a few years ago, I took a loan as well and it helped me stabilize and now I have already paid it because I had a clear plan of what I was going to do.
Yeah exactly, This is what I was trying to say. If you are certain that the outcome of your actions will be fruitful, only then you can put your loans for investment plan. Otherwise, what's the point? People says that you need to make mistakes in life in order to learn from them. Well, that does not apply when you are dealing with someone else's fund. Proper knowledge and strategy will be the key to success in this business. Then again, why build more pressure while you are already in one. Not everyone will become successful like you did. So maybe you can teach OP how he can make good use of it while we learn a bit of that too. If you borrow money to do business outside, I will not object because as long as you have a clear idea and plan, making a profit is not too difficult, and we can also adjust our work accordingly best. But for trading, it is entirely different, even if you are a professional trader, are you sure you will win with the market? In trading, don't say 2 words for sure here. @darewaller, You borrowed money during the pandemic, but you need to tell us what you used the money for, is it for trading? If that's true, then I think OP needs your advice, but if it's not trading, it's not good advice for OP. Nothing comes without risk. Doing business also does not give you a 100/80% certainty that it will bring you profit what you have wished for. Take this year for example. The economy right now is very much messed up. What you could have achieved with the money you had, now you have to spend almost double. And each and every product or goods has it own seasonal value. Doing business without the market's knowledge and not knowing when and where to sell which product can make your business fall too. Like if you are doing food business, food is something that everyone need, thus it will always have a demand. But to know which food is needed when, is the key to success. And food gets rotten after storing it for long time. So there's that risk too. Moral of the story is, you can't do anything and wish for success without having good knowledge about it. You can take risk with your own money but to do that with borrowed money makes it more difficult for the freedom of your work. All are risky, even if you leave your money in the safe and do nothing, but the point is here, which one do you think is riskier? If you do traditional business outside, no matter how difficult it is, there is a way and enough time to find a way to fix it because your money will not disappear quickly in just 1 day or 1 hour. But if you use the same amount to trade crypto, you can make it disappear instantly. That's why we call crypto investment a high risk investment. If the same level of risk while trading can yield higher returns, then I think people would not be stupid to open a business but just invest and trade crypto instead. |

New Zealand is currently touring Pakistan but the stadiums are empty even in the final two days of the match which is not that great. I expected to see some crowd but that was not the case.
What is the reason behind the lack of public crowd? There may be restrictions on general viewers or there is no presence of spectators due to Test match. As far as I know, few countries in Asia have the highest number of cricket fans. Pakistan is one of them. There must be any number of reasons behind the crowd. If there is no restriction. Hopefully we will be able to see a big crowd at that place when the ODI series starts from Jan 09. I am a middle aged person and in my early days of cricket watching, I prefer only ODI but now I love test cricket as well. I developed interest in cricket by watching my performance of my national players; when I love my country, I watched only action packed cricket but when I started loving cricket itself, I started watching / following test cricket. All I am trying to say is, test cricket is for different audience who enjoy for temperament kind of skill in cricket. From every country, there are people who love test cricket for different reasons but the percentage is very low compared to ODI or T20 and I am afraid this percentage may shrink further in coming years due to rise of social media. Watching test cricket is absolutely a waste of time right now. There are so many other activities that can be done instead of watching a test cricket match. I would rather watch a T-20 match or the highlights of a one day international cricket match rather than watch a test cricket match. For me, test cricket only exists in the highlights. I just see the results of test matches and also the highlights of the test matches. I don’t have the time to watch a five day test match and I am also quite sure that this is the case for a lot of people in the world. |

Toni Kroos has announced his retirement from playing football at the end of the season! the time has come to say goodbye to another champion. He played excellent football. What do you think you like him as a player?
He already said that earlier this season or before it has started in some news article , but cant remember what article it was. With him another german legend will be getting into his retirement after he has done so much for the german football and team. He is one or was one of the best midfield player with a passing that nobody else or not much can do. Legend , there are some docu series on amazon prime video , just saying , its very good. Toni Kroos has said that he is going to retire from international football and also will probably retire from football altogether after this season because he is not at his best. But we all know that he is still probably in the top 5 in terms of statistics. This player is going to retire just because he does not feel like he is up to the standards which he should be performing. We can understand how much he has to respect the game to do that. I definitely think he could play for a longer period of time if he wanted. |

I will buy Bitcoin and other crypto if it came to the 14k level cause I think that at time it should be pumped hard and almost cross 20k dollars in coming weeks.
I think, this is the best time to buy and hold Bitcoin because the price will not decrease to $14,000 before it will start pumping in a way investors and traders will prepare to receive something good from their long investment. If you can embrace this season to buy Bitcoin and hold, it will really help you to achieve passive income in your investment because it will be difficult for the price to decrease more than the current price. The price will definitely improve higher before the end of this month, because the price is still moving between $16,000 and $17,000 which is a sign that investors will soon experience bullish market. It is difficult to confirm that bitcoin will not fall anymore, the possibility that bitcoin will continue to fall is there because, with the negative information spreading in the market, it is likely that we will soon receive a new drop in bitcoin. However, you are right. Don't wait and now is the best time to buy as we may not have reached the bottom yet, but we are very close to doing so, so we buy now will not lead to any loss what big. Today is the last day of the year, and there are no surprises as you would expect, and I also suspect that we will unlikely see a price increase in the first days of the new year. |

I don't think that Elon is losing grip of Twitter, on the contrary, he bought it already and now has full control of it. Doge has existed even before Elon put a hype of it, and so it will continue to exist even if Elon will not support it.
The market is terrible continue, I do agree, and so is the other coins as well including Bitcoin. And so when we had another bull run, for sure Doge could be one coin that will enjoy the support again and maybe reaches new all time high, with or without Elon hyping it.
Exactly. Elon Musk remains as the owner of Twitter, even if behind the curtains, therefore his influence will be still there all the time. If he wants to push a new DOGE hype he will have all the necessary tools to do it. And even if he didn't have Twitter, he could continue endorsing DOGE through his social medias, like he has always done since much before all the talk about purchasing Twitter has started. What we see regards DOGE's price is more related to the whole bearish season every cryptocurrencies are facing right now. Once the negative trend in crypto market is over, we are going many currencies rising together, and I believe DOGE is one of them. Despite being a memecoin, it's also a classic coin. That is the difference between DOGE and its memecoins pairs which don't have any long term potential. I will agree that, even if Elon no longer supports Doge, it will not die because it was created and existed before Elon entered the market. But I don't think Doge can bounce back and rise again if Elon stops supporting it. In previous bull runs, Doge was there but went unnoticed until Elon talked about it, so it can be said that the existence of the Doge does not depend on him, but its hype depends entirely on him. Without Elon, Doge is still a coin with no value, not receiving too much attention in the market. |

I wish someone from bounty hunters, that participate in every single campaign, would make a detailed post here. I think bounties and airdrops on current forum is no longer profitable, as we rarely see scam projects gets caught, as well as there are a rare bounty farm is caught now. Which means few free crypto, profitable crypto or easy is left on the forum. Imo, if someone is trying to get free crypto on this forum - then it is going to take a lot of time. Forum has partly transformed from earning platform in 2017, into all around crypto in 2022.
If we talk about bounty campaigns, they are not dead yet, but in my opinion, once they are no longer profitable, they are dead. As for airdrops, not only on the forum but also the airdrops marketing form is really outdated and no different from spam bounty campaigns. The opportunity to earn free money has almost disappeared from the market and is replaced by more demanding jobs, and more difficult tasks for rewards. Since the OP asked for a free coin that can be quickly earned and instantly transferred to the wallet, I don't really have a good recommendation for him. Maybe he should find another market instead of finding them in this one. |

The matches has been predicted if Barcelona should be win this matches. We are seeing Espanol under pressure now. They are one of the best in La-Liga history, but can't maintain their performance. And now, they are going out from top 10 of standing, meeting with Barcelona will making them hard to get a point, even just 1 point. Five matches with 3 draw and 2 matches win. they are need to change their strategy so they can get better matches results. Barcelona should be the hands-down winner in this match. There is no way Barcelona should or can afford to lose this match. Espanol is in the 16th position on the table. The very surprising thing is that they also have two wins so far. They somehow need to draw the match against Barcelona if they want to stay at least a little farther from the relegation zone. But I don’t think that is going to happen. Barcelona should be able to win and they should be able to get three easy points from this match. Return matches after the break are always dangerous for the teams. We cannot say for sure that Barcelona will win. There are only 2 points between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Barcelona, which is at the top of the league, may fall into complacency and lose points. I stay away from betting on games like this. I want to see the team and play more consciously in the following weeks. As you said, I would like more teams to compete, rather than a championship fight between two teams.
There is no surety of anything in football. Anything can happen in any match. So no one is sure that Barcelona is going to be able to win this match. But everything does indicate towards Barcelona's winning this match. And it will also be very surprising if Barcelona ends up losing or even dropping points. |

I've seen the news that XT.com listed this token that has been there for a long time, so for the first time it's been listed by that exchange. I don't even use that exchange but I've seen I think advertisements everywhere.
Well, the bad news is that after being listed there, the deposits and withdrawals aren't working yet. Maybe it's just a yet and they'll fix it to prove those dislikers like me of this project that they are for real.
I just saw someone bragging that it was trading at $23, which is really a gimmick that XT.com is doing to attract users. I believe they will soon open the deposit and withdrawal function, but this will definitely be a huge trap because after this news, the price of PI on the black market will be pushed up, and many greedy newbies will be caught in this vortex. They will be willing to buy PI for $10 on the black market and then deposit it to FT.com in hopes of selling for a higher price, and then there will be dumping of below $1 of big players. My advice, we should stay away from them no matter how profitable they are. |

With the current team standings in the table after the break we will witness a much more competitive games in the La liga this time around, Barcelona who are currently leading the table will want to secure their position while Madrid who are second place will want to get every available points to close up the gap away from Barcelona and possibly overtake Barcelona and top the league. On this note I expect Barcelona to get a win against Espayol to secure all three points.
I am not sure whether it is more competitive or not, but only 2 teams have the chance to win La Liga title. It means, it is no change, it is the same as in previous seasons when only Barcelona and Real Madrid competed for the title. TBH, I actually expect Atletico Madrid joins the race for the title, it makes La Liga more competitive. Sadly, Atletico Madrid performed very badly, they even struggle to come back to top 4. By the way, I predict Barcelona to win against Espanyol easily, especially since they will play at home. Real Madrid also will have no problem getting 3 points against Valladolid. It seems there will be no change in the top 2 of La Liga standings. The match between Barcelona and Espanol is going to be an easy one for them. This is because they seem to be in control of the game under Xavi's leadership, and I believe they could win easily. In spite of the fact that they are first in the league table at the moment, we need to take into account the fact that Real Madrid have played one less game than them. If Real Madrid win their next game, then they will be on top of the table. They will be one point ahead of Barcelona at the end of the current round. There is no doubt that we will be able to witness some fierce competition between these two league giants for the league title. |

I'm hardly shocked by what happened this year because I lost nothing from the 2 crashes of Luna and FTX. Bear season this year is just like previous bear seasons, after bitcoin hits a new ATH, there will definitely be a long way ahead for the bears, so I'm also mentally prepared, and no surprises. If the collapse does not happen for Luna and FTX, then I believe there will be other collapses to replace them. In 2023, I still believe that the bear season will continue, and we will have the final bottom for bitcoin of this bear season.

No, we are nearing the end of the year and bitcoin is also slowing down, so I predict we have bottomed in 2022. As for the market situation in 2023, I think we will see declines rather than bulls as we head into the new year. There is no sign that the market will get better in the coming days.
If you don't think there's a sign of a next year's uptick in Bitcoin, have you seen a lot of signs of a drop in Bitcoin's price over the next year? Because I really can't make precise predictions at certain times for increases and decreases in Bitcoin. So these are the two possibilities that are still hard to tell when I'm still in 2022. I'd like to know what kind of picture you're seeing for the Bitcoin market so say we're going to see a decline rather than an increase in the next year I don't know what his prediction is based on, but I agree with him, we will end the year with bitcoin moving sideways between 16k-18k almost a certainty. I also predict Q1 and Q2 2023 we will have a new bottom, the reason will be the same as 2022. The external impact is that the world economy will continue to be difficult, the battle will be more fierce when the US increases aid to Ukraine, and inflation is still very high, although it has decreased in the past 2 months. In terms of the market, Fuds of Binance is definitely going to be long-term and there is a chance that BNB will correct sharply, bitcoin will definitely be impacted, and FTX is not over yet. Bad news still surrounds the market. I really wonder why you think the first two quarters will be a new bottom? It seems to me that the maximum negative things happened in 2022. The FUD about Binance is fabricated and I don't think it will last. Inflation has declined and will probably continue to slow early next year. I think the first half of the year will be positive for cryptocurrencies because the bear market has been going on for over a year. I expect a reversal in 2023 and it is unlikely there will be a new bottom. The death of FTX isn't over yet, the FUD about Binance continues, we're on the biggest holiday of the year, so everything seems to be on pause. I still believe in binance, but the possibility of BNB being dumped is inevitable. Inflation in the US decreased but remained high, and if we look at inflation in Europe, there is no sign of slowing down, and it is likely to continue to increase in the first quarter, if Russia orders retaliation for the EU's oil price ceiling. Besides, the opening of China's economy will cause a supply shortage, from which world inflation will continue to increase. I am still very pessimistic about what will happen next year. |

Jofra Archer will obviously be great for England. At least that’s what I think. And he will also be very eager to prove himself after his return from injury. I don’t know if he will still be able to bowl at the same pace which he did before. I hope he still has venom. But this is certainly positive news for England. But England will have to be very careful about not playing him too much because I also agree that he has become injury-prone. It is also true that fast bowling does not do well with the health. As a consequence, he will need to be given the proper rest that he needs. In order for him to be able to perform well and stay healthy at the same time.
Now he is coming back after long time which is surely crucial for player like him specially when you are fast bowler its never been easy to bowl and play like you done before injury even right now age factor is with him and in future he needs to be selective for having better results in long run for his future because right now going into all three formats is just suicidal for the players specially while you have too many injuries hopefully he will try to keep himself for just one or two formats which will help him for having better results and complete control on his bowling. Currently, England is champions of two formats and now in coming years we will watch them completely different side for the test format as well which is surely amazing stuff from them but right now their priorities are defending their title in India which is not easy even they are having quality players. England is surely going to improve in the test format as well. They have not failed to win the other two formats. We have seen this transformation in England after the 2014 world cup. Now they are the winners of the one day international cricket and also the t20 international cricket. Now the only thing left for them to win is the test world championship. I am quite sure that they are also going to do well in that. But I personally think giving test cricket so much importance right now is somehow not worth it. But everyone is not going to share the same opinion as mine Jofra Archer is a very important bowler for England team. He is making a comeback after injury which may bring some relief to cricket fans. Especially those who support the England team. Not only that, he also played in various franchise-based leagues. Overall he is an asset to cricket.
As he had a major injury and was about 27 years old. Considering the fact and i agree with you that one or two formats are quite suitable to play. But I think keeping him in T20 and ODI matches would be very good for him. However, the England Cricket Board will take appropriate decisions in view of his situation.
Archer is going to be able to perform really well for England in my opinion. At least I hope that he will be able to. Because a lot of times it is not easy to come back from a break like this. I think it could be better for him to play in shorter formats. Simply because he had shown a really good performance in the 2018 world cup and I believe t20 cricket is not going to put that much pressure on him. |
