I may not say that bitcoin is 100% the perfect solution but what it offers us today is the exact solution to the financial and economical challenges we are all facing with the government, so when you're talking about negative aspect i may not argue much because it will surely exist no matter how the little or small it may appear, the advantage is what we look on to and embrace the decentralization for our own personal interest, the solution is far better than any form of negative influence others may thought about with bitcoin adoption.
This is something I wholeheartedly agree, we may not have any solution to it that is better than bitcoin right now and that is why it matters so much.

The only fair thing I could say about bitcoin is that it does spend a lot of energy right now and we could definitely find a better suited program that would be better, staking that ETH uses so far seems to be working and turning bitcoin into that may take many many years but at least we have a way to do that and I think it should be important to keep repeating that whenever we can, it should be a big deal. Obviously it will take some time but we could make that work and that's important. Of course it is not that big of a deal if you are not careful about it as well.


As @Dunamisx said, if you compare the energy of gold mining with bitcoin mining then bitcoin mining is a lot more eco-friendly. It doesn't consume as much energy as the tabloids are spreading. The important thing is that bitcoin has as many uses as gold or any other asset, so it cannot be said that bitcoin mining is a waste. Moreover, as long as all miners switch to using clean energy to mine bitcoin, everything will be fine. We don't need to make any further changes to bitcoin. I mean, I don't expect any developments to make bitcoin as useless as ETH.

It's really funny to see the type of weird views some people have of the world and the things that are happening in it. OP basically says that "because US supposedly owns a lot of gold, creation of an alternative payment system is impossible". It is even funnier when you look at the name of this forum and realize that it is a Bitcoin forum, a place where we discuss "an alternative payment system" called Bitcoin that is not backed by anything like gold and it was created and it is successful and every day it is growing Cheesy
By the way United States doesn't like Bitcoin either.

In any case, dedollarisation is happening whether some people or even US itself accepts it or not. It didn't start last year and it won't mature soon but it is happening.

Indeed, it's no longer a rumor and it's getting stronger than ever but it's hard to understand why so many people still haven't accepted that fact.
They always say they don't care, don't believe that de-dollarization will succeed, USD will always be the currency of the world. But they refuse to accept the fact that de-dollarization is happening pretty fast and they always spread fake news about BRICS. This just makes me think that they're scared of this de-dollarization, and they don't want people to know the truth, not that they really don't care.

I admit I'm not a fan of the US, but I'm not a fan of China or Russia either. But I prefer a multipolar and fairer world, in which all countries can develop and compete fairly, rather than being controlled and oppressed by a single power.

In as much as Napoli player's will take some time before they adapt to the coaching pattern of their new manager Rudi Garcia who replaced Luciano Spalletti after the latter stepped down from his role as the club manager, I think they can still do well this season or probably retain the Italian Serie A title with the new manager.
Their performance last weekend is a proof that the players are already doing exactly what the new managers demands of them and with their lethal and clinical Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen at his best, Napoli still has all it takes to retain the title
Seria A will be more competitive than last season, Napoli will fight to retained their title, not an easy route for them to take. Napoli will not win the Scudetto two times in a row, it's not possible, probably not under the new coach, Rudi Garcia. He needs more time to adapt to the club and the players, basically there's enough time for the new boss to implement a solid winning strategy. Victor Osimhen is a top player that needs to get all the necessary goals and assists he could possibly lay his hands on, because there's absolutely no time for reluctant actions.
I think it is too early to predict if Napoli won't be available to win Scudetto this season,  as far as serie-a is concerned this season Napoli is the most favourite to become the Champions for the season.  Looking from the games Napoli have played so far for the season their performance still  look lusty and  outstanding, I don't think any other team in the Italian league will be this very strong to challenge Napoli from winning the league,  Napoli has one of the best striker that is very good in scoring goals.

Napoli is obviously the defending champion of Serie A. But of course they had a change in authority. So that is something which might be a little problematic for them later into the season. And they will definitely need some time to actually sync with the tactics that the coach is trying to implement. I absolutely agree with @Rockstarguy that it is actually really early to say anything. I think we will be able to successfully predict what is going to happen in the future after we see them playing 10 more matches.

@borovichok was also right. The serie A is definitely going to be more competitive in this season. So it is definitely going to be tough for Napoli to actually defend the league title successfully, especially with the new authority.
724  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: August 25, 2023, 05:58:25 PM
It would be a good option for any professional footballer and I also hope that Ronaldo will take this opportunity when he retires. If you look at Ronaldo's way of taking care of his fitness, it is not impossible that at the age of 40 he can still play in the Saudi Arabian league because this league does not really need speed. On the other hand the option as you mentioned is also likely to occur because Sporting Lisbon is a club that has a big role in making Ronaldo's career and this is where Ronaldo's career started to become the world football star he is now.

Speculation about Ronaldo's future after his contract expires is still quite wild and before he decided to move to Saudi Arabia not many parties predicted this for various reasons. So let's wait and see what steps Ronaldo will take after his contract ends at Al-Nassr because there are still a few more seasons for him to stay or take steps to retire.
I think cristiano ronaldo will retire from saudi arabia league. Because I don't see any chance of coming to any European club with the performance of Cristiano Ronaldo. Also, the Saudi league will become very competitive within a few seasons.

Yes basically, the Saudi League and the Portuguese League at least the Portuguese League has higher pressure and yes, if we consider Ronaldo age then it seems very unlikely that Ronaldo will play at Sporting. Unless, if Ronaldo leaves Al Nassr in the next season and Ronaldo age is still 39 years old but still, at that age it is difficult for Sporting to let Ronaldo play. Because after all, playing in Al Nassr even though the competition is still fairly easy, but in fact Ronaldo still cannot make Al Nassr consistent to win. So yes, it is very unlikely that Ronaldo will return to Sporting because it seems, Ronaldo will really retire right at the age of 40 when his contract expires at Al Nassr.

I simply think that he has given the world a lot. Even at 37 years old, he absolutely carried Manchester United on his back. I don’t think there are many players who can actually say that especially in the modern era of football. I am pretty sure that if it was not for the hate of Manchester United coach towards him, and if it was also not for the rape allegations that he had to face around the World Cup, he would have finished his career better.

But I am definitely happy for what he has done in football. I was never a big fan of Ronaldo. I was always a fan of Messi. But watching what has been happening with Cristiano Ronaldo recently, I sure do think that he deserved better towards the end of his career.  And probably I have become a Ronaldo fan slowly. It definitely makes me sad to watch him retire.

Bitcoin price is unpredictable but to say that bitcoin will hit $1 million thanks to the economic crisis, I don't believe it either. So far, bitcoin has been considered only a speculative asset and as we have seen. Bitcoin dropped in price quite a bit during the economic crisis of 2022, it was not sought after by everyone as a safe haven like gold.

But if the development and demand for bitcoin increases over time then I believe 1 million USD per bitcoin is possible. But it's not the economic crisis, it's the demand.

I have a different hypothetical scenario contradicting the general belief of people that Bitcoin will outperform during the difficult economic periods. Bitcoin's past behavior and particularly its correlation with stocks market during the bearish period of 2021 and 2022, when it used to get affected by CPI reports and interest rates announcements. This pattern suggests that during the times of economic crisis when interest rates are high, people don't have extra funds for investment, that's why all high risk markets tend to decline including Bitcoin.

In summary, It is possible that in future Bitcoin price will rise to 1 Million dollars, and this might occur during the times of economic prosperity and loose monetary supply policies.

People are also not wrong to think that bitcoin will do well in times of economic crisis or inflation because in theory bitcoin was created to overcome that with a limited supply. But the reality is quite the opposite because bitcoin is still considered a speculative asset, it is not really considered a safe haven as we would like. That's really what's going on and people don't accept that reality.

But in the future things could change as bitcoin becomes more and more popular and widely adopted. When it reaches a certain level, it will no longer be a speculative asset but will instead become a store of value or a safe haven.

Indeed, collecting bitcoins from the faucet would really be a waste of our time these days. Things are not what they were in years past and we need to accept that fact. @crwth, if you think bitcoin income through faucet still works. I really want to know, are you still doing that? Or did you yourself stop looking for bitcoin that way? No one denies that faucets used to bring us a lot of bitcoin, but today that is outdated and no longer relevant.
I'm not sure how it came up on how I think it still works, I just said that the people back then who don't believe in faucets have probably believed now because of how high the BTC value is now compared to back then. Anyway, to answer your question, I don't do that anymore. I don't see Bitcoin that way anymore. It was just a few months when I first discovered Bitcoin and I have read here that it is a waste of time but looking at it now, you could have made significant money if you just continued to do it.

If so, I will be luckier than you as I am someone who used to collect satoshi from various faucets as well as play games to get satoshi at a time when bitcoin price was very cheap. Can't say I got great rewards from it but also got some profit from faucet. But to be honest, many times I have gone back to my account on freebitco.in to try to collect bitcoins but things are very different. I feel that is no longer efficient and just a waste of time if we just focus on faucets to collect bitcoins.

Like I said, I don't deny that it used to be very profitable, but things are much different now, and that's why we no longer see many working faucets nor no one mention it.

Here's my remaining bitcoins, LOL. I think if someone wants to earn bitcoin these days, there are other more efficient ways.

Looks like that Bayern Munich now also have a new Goalkeeper , Daniel Peretz will get into the Munich squad for around 5 Millions.

As far as I know there's no transfer certainty for Daniel Peretz, but there are many media reports that an agreement has been reached between Bayern Munich and Maccabi Tel Aviv. Bayern Munich also seems very serious about signing Peretz, because he appeared impressive in the IPL with Maccabi Tel Aviv and has a relatively young age.

Some people are definitely saying that Bayern Munich has actually reached an agreement with Peretz.
I am not so sure about this news, being true or not. I will give you a link down below about this news.
But I also definitely have heard that Bayern Munich is very interested in this player.

The irony with this is people who have experienced faucets back in the day and are saying that it's a waste of time, have probably changed their minds when it increased in value now. You could've got a lot of money if you managed to do it religiously.

For business purposes, maybe you can do it with research of it first and see if there are still existing faucets that run their business now.
Without a doubt we were wrong about it, there were many faucets and someone that mindlessly clicked the many ads to claim from a faucet and was smart enough to not spend it and did so for at least a year would have accumulated a decent amount of bitcoin, this is why some people are trying to replicate that success and want to claim from faucets as well, however the circumstances have changed since then and it seems that this time faucets are really a waste of time for everyone involved.

When the price of Bitcoin jumps, the sats that you are claiming every hour are too few, and we know that before it is also a waste of time because you can't get enough sats if you don't claim at least a year on them, which is also the problem as others tend to close down when they see that there are people that have already accumulated Bitcoins, so it is still a waste of time, and always you are just making the owner rich because he is earning per unique visits on the website and also by accidently clicking the ads.

One million dollars is an astonishing figure, something I never really envisioned happening easily. Even in the face of economic turmoil, does that mean gold has lost its allure? And do all BTC users truly concur that Bitcoin's value reaching millions of dollars per unit is the way to go?

Gold has proven itself as a safer haven thus far for combating inflation resulting from economic collapses. If the US Dollar were to encounter a crisis, there are still other currencies that could serve as a global alternative, boasting substantial strength—such as the Euro, Pound Sterling, or perhaps the Chinese Yuan. Yes, if BTC were to be sought as a refuge against economic breakdowns, it might indeed yield benefits for me, but is that truly advantageous in the long haul? I believe not.

Gold and perhaps certain stocks still remain unaffected amidst the transpiring crisis.

So far, bitcoin has been considered only a speculative asset and as we have seen.

730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 24, 2023, 01:15:19 AM
I definitely believe that the performance is going to be better from Juventus in the ongoing season.
The failure of Juventus in European competition due to a penalty from UEFA made Juventus have more opportunities to focus on the Italian league this season, the many failures they experienced last season from deducting points that made them fail to participate in the European competition championship also failed to win the Italian league title, I think this season is Juventus' chance to chase Italian league title.

Some of the top clubs may have divided their focus so that they are not too consistent when European competition events start, it will disturb their concentration and their match schedules make the players' performance really decrease because of fatigue, I think Juventus can take this opportunity to win the Italian league this season consistently on the winning path and earn points in every game until the end of the season.
There is no other choice for Juventus this season besides focusing on domestic competition (Serie A). Even though Juventus chances of winning the Scudetto this season are greater than any other team due to their lack of matches, this does not mean that it will reduce Juventus competition with teams like Inter Milan, Napoli and AC Milan to win the Serie A trophy. We can also see how Juve moves in the market transfer, then compare with AC Milan this summer. It would seem that Juve can't say much in the transfer market, I doubt Juve in these conditions.

Being dropped from the European Competition resulted in a loss of some revenue for Jeventus. Luckily for Allegri, if his players stay and don't leave the club in the remaining time of this transfer, and hope that Juve can get through this situation by utilizing a makeshift squad. I hope they don't make the same mistake again.

I agree with both of you that Juventus being dropped from European competition, is actually going to give them more opportunities to perform better in the Italian league. At the same time, it is also true that they do not have any other option other than performing well in the Italian league because otherwise, Allegri is going to face a lot of questions which he already has been facing.

And people are going to attack him for exactly this point, that he did not have anything to worry about other than the Serie A. So he should be bringing good results in the Serie A.

Anyway, I do think that Juventus is actually going to be a big competitor for the title this season. They will have to be really focused by the way.
731  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 24, 2023, 01:06:23 AM
I can't even believe it. I remember that how long napoli was trying to approach him but he said yes to join in the al ahli since he was still 21 years old. Is not it a loss for him? I meant he is still very young and he can consider to play in a good team on serie a like napoli.
~snip~

Now, Arab football surprised me too.... in fact, their project of taking renowned players to their local league seems to be entering a new "stage".
It was very clear to me that the presence of Bobby Firmino and Mahrez in Al Ahli, Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, Karim Benzema, Fabinho, and so many other stars with a solid career in Europe does not seem to be enough for the government's plans saudi. Now their objective is to also bring players still promising from the European continent? Now we're screwed!!!

Just this week I was commenting that this is a great opportunity for young talents to have an opportunity in Europe, as the Arabs were hiring renowned players and so Europe had a great niche of opportunities for new talents. However, this signing of Gabri Vieira changed everything.

The Saudi government is really not playing around and it seems to me that they will continue to invest heavily in new hires.

The Saudi government is absolutely serious about this. They are trying to make this league a big business model for the future. But I think every one of us actually thought that it was going to take at least 10 years or more for them to make this a very competitive league. But it looks like they are taking a more fast approach. They are already bringing in potential young players. If they can bring in more players like him, I definitely think that the quality of football is going to improve rapidly in this league. At first, which I thought it was going to take 10 years, looks like it’ll probably take not more than five years to happen. Well, it might even happen earlier than that.
732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 23, 2023, 04:46:14 PM
Marco Verratti actually also received an offer from Munich. if the offer from Man United isn't good enough, I think Munich will also be a good club for him.
he definitely understands how to compete with his age that is not young anymore. and he must immediately determine his fate to move to which club might be his last club before retiring from his professional career.
if he really wants to move to an Arab club, I don't think that's a bad thing for him either. but there are still European clubs interested in him, it's better to stay at European clubs.
It's better for him to join Bayern Munich because it's more safer than Manchester United which currently gambling in Hojlund. If Hojlund can't perform in Manchester United, then the chance for them to win champions league and premier league are small.

While Bayern Munich they're very solid, it's just because there are few of their key players currently injured.
I think Marco Verratti will consider and prioritize his international career first when choosing his next move particularly staying in one of the European clubs as his best bet, however if decided to choose Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabian league then his Italian national team career is over because I don't think he will be selected for any international duty again, personally I think a switch over to Bayern Munich over Man Utd is a good choice because Bayern has a formidable squad with a lot of quality players and managed by an experience manager Tuchel,  he had been on Man Utd radar since 2019 yet no concrete agreement was reached now they are also trying to sign which might not see the light of the day.

It is definitely going to be a good idea to join Bayern Munich, instead of Manchester United for any player right now. I still do not think that Manchester United is a stable team right now. But they have definitely performed well enough in the last season. But they are definitely gambling with the players about the future. And I don’t think it is going to end well for Manchester United.

So if a player is given a choice between Manchester United and Bayern Munich, it is definitely better to choose Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich have fixed most of their problem. So they are definitely going to perform well compared to the last season. But Manchester United is still in the process of fixing problems.
733  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: August 23, 2023, 12:20:06 PM
It's high time the club knows what they need and go for it, they can't keep signing frontlines without scanning the backlines, how these roles operates. The defenders are not fully positioned to win games, rather they keep making blunders that cost them to concede goals in league games. PSG coach, Luis Enrique should make more signings this season, in full focus on the defend and midfield, because that's where their problem originates from. PSG have missed out on big names this season, players that would have secured an easy win for the parisians have already exited the club.
I also see that problem in every season at PSG and it hasn't been resolved until this season so the advice you give is actually also more appropriate for PSG because they need to be able to focus on bringing in better players in midfield and defense. This was also revealed when PSG's front line became unproductive in scoring goals when there were no players who were good at providing passes from the back or midfield. So the PSG team must also be stronger on two lines that have not been their focus so far.
The lineup that a club must have is the balance between positions in the game, be it defense, midfield, or attack. They can't keep strengthening their attack, but they forget to strengthen the depth of the midfield and backline. They also can't focus on one position at the back, but forget about the attack. because it would also be useless if they are good at defense but they can't create goals. I have seen this problem for years in Paris Saint Germain, strangely they don't seem to realize that it is their weakness.

I think with the arrival of Luis Enrique, the situation is going to get better for PSG. We have seen the previous coaches actually depend on the attacking lineup, a little too much to be honest.

But I know that Luis Enrique is a better coach. And I definitely believe he’s going to make a balanced squad, instead of just reinforcing the attacking lineup. He had a lot of success with Barcelona previously. I think if he is given enough time and money, he will definitely be able to bring good results. PSG do not have any problem with Money. I just hope that they will give the coach enough time.

I also liked the way Juventus performed in that match. They were definitely very dominating. In the first half, they were really very good. I actually thought that as it is the start of the season, Juventus will probably not perform as expected and maybe not even get the whole three points. But I was satisfied with the performance that I saw. And another thing is, the way Juventus played in that match, we could see that they had done their homework.

Is it possible for them to even improve on what they have shown in the first match? Obviously. But I think their performance is only going to get better as the season goes on.

As I repeated last year, Allegri is a capable and smart coach. Those who attacked him simply don't understand anything about football. More than anything else too many injured last year, we have to ask ourselves some questions about the summer athletic training.
my 2 cents

Allegri is definitely doing it decent job with Juventus. The thing is that The situation has not been in his favour. They have also not been very good from Juventus. And sometimes I think people even do not know about the fact that they had to finish really low on the table because 10 points had been taken away from them. And without knowing the fact, they start talking about how badly Juventus has performed in the season.

I definitely believe that the performance is going to be better from Juventus in the ongoing season.
735  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 22, 2023, 06:51:45 PM
I was criticizing Juventus for not making enough level of transfers this summer. Especially for the midfield. Their midfielders were struggling with injuries before but now they have all are in good condition. Their start to the season was also impressive. They got a really solid win over Udinese by 3-0. But of course I don't want to be confident about the rest of the season already.

Because we have all seen Juventus' problems in the recent times. By only one result we can't have a clear opinion of them. But this season is really important for Allegri. If they can't finish even in top four then Allegri could be likely to get sacked. He has a contract until 2025 but his seat isn't very secure yet.

I watched the first half and the victory was very powerful, Udinese were totally disoriented
I didn't see the second half because I was bored
in any case, Juventus played well but I see them depending a little too much on Chiesa

Lewandowski who was so superior in his first season with Barcelona and then managed to become the top scorer last season, has not found his best performance in the two matches that Barcelona has played. The difficulty of scoring goals in the last two matches must be overcome immediately because the season is still very long.
The 2-0 victory over Cadiz was a good achievement for Barcelona because their condition was still difficult to score goals, they also had to fight hard to get full points at their headquarters. Barcelona have not been able to perform well from the two matches that have been played, Xavi must try to make changes in his squad in order to maintain the performance as it was formed last season.

Actually Lewandowski had several chances to score, as well as when Barcelona against Cadiz. unfortunately every opportunity he had was not able to be executed into a goal, maybe it could be because the pattern that Xavi used in the first two matches made it a little difficult for Lewandowski to score goals. especially when Barcelona against Getafe, Lewandowski didn't really appear with his slick performance. we can also speculate maybe because there have been several changes that have occurred in the Barcelona camp, Dembele's departure, Gundohan's presence and several winger rotations have made Barcelona's style of play a little different. but we'll see, because after all La Liga still has a lot of games ahead.

For the Cadiz match and if I refer to the Barcelona line-up, it is very likely that Xavi is really experimenting. actually I'm a little surprised, what is Xavi planning. even so, maybe that's why he is looking for the best formula for the squad under his care. because of that, it could be that Xavi thinks that what he applies does not meet the criteria according to his expectations. next week Barcelona will visit Villarreal headquarters, Xavi cannot underestimate the home team. moreover, Xavi and Raphina are still serving sentences after receiving red cards. Barcelona must prepare their team to look impressive against Villarreal later.

I don’t know if it is just me, but I definitely think that Robert Levendoski was more capable of a striker when he was in Bayern Munich. After coming to Barcelona, I don’t know why, but I feel like he has not been able to show that same type of performance.

But if I have to talk about Barcelona, I will say that Barcelona was definitely dominating in the last match against Cadiz. Even though they were able to break the deadlock and open, scoring at 82nd minute of the match they were dominating throughout the match. And it is also true that Robert Lewandowski did have some chances to score in both of the matches. But he literally failed to capitalize on those chances. Maybe it is the start of the season and he is a little rusty. Probably he will get better from the upcoming matches.

I think all three mentioned here have their advantages and disadvantages,  take for example cryptocurrencies...crypto is a high risk high reward asset as its been for years,  but unfortunately of late ROI is too low and takes time for one to yield a decent profit if strategy is based on hodling, which very few of us have the patience for  Roll Eyes

As of the other two (Real estate or Business),  let's just say Real estate here would win of we are talking in the lines of stable income if it were a rental property,  but unfortunately this one takes a long time to recoup your invested capital unless you built in a prime location where rentals are super high.

And for the last proposal which is a Business,  this one is seasonal as far as I know and the scary part of running a business is that you are exposed to so many taxes which can be very frustrating  and running a business comes with other challenges like competition,  spoilage,  theft, government policies,  obsolete etc

With the above reasons given, I think Real estate will win this race for one's peace, better mental health and ultimately  happy life.



Real estate of course is better, that is true. However, you forgot about the high capital needed for real estate investment. Most of the time, if you intend to have a good start in this type of investment you will have to have a high capital. Moreover, the land's location is very important as this is one of the most vital factors that investors or buyers look into before buying a property. Hence, I wouldn't say it is less stressful than the other two, unless of course you hire real estate agents to do the work for you.

Right, it can be said that real estate is better than the other two areas in terms of safety. But it also depends on each person's circumstances to say what is the best asset for us. How do we say real estate is best when we cannot invest in it? It does not bring or create any benefits for us, so it cannot be said to be the best. Whereas bitcoin is considered a risky asset, but it gives us the opportunity to get rich with whatever capital we have. So for us, bitcoin is the best and most suitable.

If you see from your perspective it is true that real estate has the opportunity to get a victory with stable income, but yes the main complaint is to get a strategic place we need a large capital to get a place, with a road access line to make it easier, as well as maintenance costs that needs to be released.
If we look at the big profit but it does not last long is cryptocurrency, because after all we only rely on price increases in coins so that is what makes this interesting, but we must have a long patience because the average crypto pivot in the cycle for get the benefits.

The business is indeed seasonal but this depends on your use of the season wisely to get new opportunities, a businessman must be dynamic to the ecnomy cycle and see the flow of money on economic potential, which makes it able to get profit, but this is helpful for what business is running , the reason is if we do business services or main products, of course there will always be a request that is not extinguished, such as groceries or internet network providers. In the business it depends on you set your business and take advantage of opportunities, surely you will get more profits than what Crypto and Real Estate can provide, both from fasive profits or capital returns, but it needs to be understood that in the business world it is most difficult.
If you put all 3 on the scale and evaluate, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. There is no such thing as the best because they are just tools for us to use to make money. The creation of more or less money depends on the intelligence and ability of each person, not on assets. For example, many people fail in business but also many people become wealthy through business, and that also applies to cryptocurrencies and real estate.

But as I said, in all 3 areas, cryptocurrency (bitcoin) is the most accessible and most suitable for us. Since we can invest the minimum amount of capital we have, it does not require a large amount of capital like real estate or business. The best property or sector is the one that suits us best, if we don't have money to invest in real estate or business, is it still good for us?

Today, Beşiktaş will get a glorious victory by outperforming their opponent under normal conditions. The starting 11 can be called the ideal squad at the moment. Onur Bulut plays on the right wing, because of the Turkish player requirement. Rashica, Rebic, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Cenk Tosun are among the reserves. They may enter the game in the second half of the match. In addition, Demir Ege played well in the last matches, he will definitely be in the game later.
I expect Beşiktaş to win with at least 3 goals. Pendikspor has just advanced to the league and they are playing in the Super League for the first time in their history. They have no chance in this game.

Besiktas is definitely going to win the match. After all they are playing against a team that has recently been promoted. 21 minutes have been played into the match so far and Besiktas has already taken the lead. The current score is 1-0 in favour of Besiktas. They are in utter domination of this match. I am expecting them to increase the goal difference now that they have broken the deadlock and also have taken the lead. I agree that Pendikspor actually does not have any chance to even get one point from this match.

Roma scored an early goal by Belotti but it was rejected by VAR with a very minor offside from the striker. He missed a goal to open his score sheet in this season.

When I am typing this post, Belotti scored again and this time, it's definitely a goal for him, no way for referee or VAR to reject it.

Roma leads Salernitana 1 - 0.

In this match, Roma does not have Mourinho on the bench and the substitution is Bruno Conti, one of Roma legendary players.

Even though Roma was the team to score first in this match, Salernitana has definitely made a comeback in this match. 74 minutes have been played so far in this match. Right now, the score is 2-1 in favour of Salernitana. I am actually a little surprised to see the accuracy from Salernitana. They have had two shots on target and they have converted both of them into goals. Roma is definitely trying to come back in this match. Roma also has the most amount of possession in this match. Roma is also trying very hard to make something out of the possession that they have. but they have to try harder. Only about 16 minutes left of this match.

I still can't stop thinking how it is possible for Lyon to suffer a crushing defeat at home to Montpellier with a score of 1-4. Even though statistically Lyon are so dominating and Montpellier seems to often let go when they enter Lyon's defense area, this is evidenced by a total of 8 shots on target. I think Lyon's defense is really bad and the goalkeeper can't do much even though he managed to make 4 saves. Lately, Lyon has experienced a decline in performance, they should be able to win against a team whose quality is quite far below them, but Lyon has been unable to overcome this. Last week they also lost against Strasbourg and Lyon should have been able to win in that match but they had to accept the harsh reality of the current defeat.
I did not expect Lyon to beat Montpellier because they have a good defensive line even though their midfield is a bit weak; they drew their first match against Le Havre, therefore I expect them to play at least a draw against Lyon because Lyon is defensively weak.

Winning Lyon by four goals away from home is a great advantage for them considering Lyon has been the winning team in their last four matches they played together. This clearly shows that Lyon is not a strong opponent this season, and if they did not consider strengthening their team before the window closed, they might end up in the relegation zone.

I am actually going to agree with @rendravolt that I also did not think Lyon is actually going to lose against Montpelier. Let alone lose by such a big margin. Lyon had a big percentage of possession in this match. But they were not able to do much with it to be honest. They failed to do anything meaningful in the final third of the pitch. But on the other hand, even though Montpelier did not have much control over the game, they did certainly score when they had the chance. and I think it was easy to understand that towards the end Lyon actually got a little frustrated as well.

By the way, I do not think that they are actually going to end up in the relegation zone towards the end of the season. But I don’t think the performance is going to be great if they do not make changes in the squad.
