It's easier for people to feel they likely believe in Bitcoin in bull markets but it is harder for them to say they have such belief in bear markets.

By that I meant, it's hard to find real Bitcoin believers and most of people only feel great and have unreal belief in bull markets that turn to be uncertainty and disbelief in bear markets.

They can turn to be haters if they used leverages and got liquidations in bear markets. However it is not Bitcoin fault, people must change themselves first and strengthen their belief in Bitcoin. It needs time, patience, discipline and not easy.

No chance to win EPL. The gap is too big to be chased by liverpool. Have you been calculating it? There are 38 matches in total to be played by a single club in any season. That being said that if liverpool has only 14 matches remaining while arsenal has been leading the competition with 60 points in total now. I expect arsenal to win the rest of season. The problem is liverpool had around 21 points gap which are worth 7 games in total.

This is really big. It's too good to be true for liverpool to win the EPL title. It's impossible thing to happen. What can be done for liverpool to be qualified for the UCL spot. That's the main target by liverpool in EPL right now.
Liverpool have chance to chase a position in top four especially the fourth position. It is already a big task for them with all unstable performances they have shown in this season. Maybe as a big club and have only one task to fight for and achieve in this season, Liverpool will wake up and fight with their best to get it. Their condition is better than Chelsea which already say goodbye to top four.

Those clubs have opposite conditions, Liverpool are mostly out of Champions League but still have a chance in Premier League. Chelsea still have a chance in Champions League but they are impossible to join top four in Premier League.

Two big clubs with a bad season but they might have different endings in this season. What if Liverpool end at the fourth position and Chelsea win Champions League?

Before now Manchester United have been in a very poor state despite having the greatest player of all time present in the team but just few months after Ronaldo's departure to Saudi squad, Ten Hag has managed to turn things around and even going ahead to win the league cup, I know many people will begin to say Ronaldo was the problem in the team judging from what they have been able to achieve after his departure.
Their bad results before Ronaldo departure to Saudi league is not because of Ronaldo. They did not use him a lot in first half of season and it is unfair and dishonest if they told that all bad results are by Ronaldo bad contribution.

Ten Hag did not do his job well in early season but it is explainable as it is a first time he managed a club in Premier League. However so far we can say that Ten Hag has adapted well and has done good jobs for Manchester United. Let's hope that he will continue it in a next one or two seasons to actually build up another Grande United. I hope that Ten Hag won't be another Solskjaer in United and I have reason for my hope, he is a more experienced coach than Solskjaer and he has a successful coach career so far.

and the results of the Juventus vs Torino match were won by Juventus with a score of 4-2.
This victory is important for Juventus to boost their position in the mid-table of the 2022-2023 Italian League standings.

This victory is important for Juve to boost its position in the middle of the 2022-2023 Italian League standings
With this win and some bad results from above clubs in this week, Juventus now have only 10 points less than top four with a fourth position is hold by Lazio that have 45 points. Juventus with 35 points looks like to start seeing light at the end of tunnel.

At least, if clubs in top four have one or two more bad weeks, Juventus will reduce the 10 points gap to be smaller and their task to finish in top four will be more realistic. However, they have another way to be qualified for Champions League next season by winning Europa League.

Both tasks, ending in top four of Serie A and winning Europa League are difficult but Juventus will surely try best in both competitions. They do want to control their ending in this season because they know that how they end this season will affect their preparation in summer and how they will begin a next season.

Time goes so fast. I didn't expect Pogba to have missed that many games. Actually, if Pogba's surgery could be carried out sooner, then it should have been from the beginning of February that Pogba would have recovered. but I read that the operation had been postponed so it was a little late for Pogba to recover. but luckily the surgery was done and went pretty smoothly. But of course Pogba needs to adapt again to his condition. and he had to build up his confidence. But what is clear now is that Juventus are really looking to get even better from now on.
Pogba is like Neymar and they are very sensitive with injuries. With bad injury histories, I believe that Pogba will not be able to contribute too much for Juventus after his transfer from Manchester United. It is more reasonable to think so because of his age. He is no longer young and his recovery is more slowly when he was a young player when he made his reputation in Juventus.

In addition, Pogba himself can not carry all the midfield area of Juventus and he needs support from other midfielders especially defensive midfielders. His style is playing too emotional and careless. It's not barely to see he made terrible mistakes in midfield that caused very dangerous counter attacks of opponents and from such mistakes, his teams got conceded goals.
1206  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Alts Blood Bath for Feb? on: March 01, 2023, 02:09:44 AM
not sure if we can call it a bloodbath when we have seen altcoins are staying the same positioning like what bitcoin did in the whole February , bitcoin increase double digits but stagnant to its price now? is what i see in altcoin as well and there are even some that make it more from the rank coin.
and now as the month ended we can assume another prediction in March and this will bring more confidence if the price stays this good and continue to increase .
The blood path has yet occurred but it will be triggered by Bitcoin fall.

I smell risky fall from Bitcoin in the last two weeks and hopefully it won't initiate a blood path for altcoins. I believe that Bitcoin won't be able to go much far more than $30,000 and eventually blood path will happen. We only don't know when blood path will kill altcoins and altcoin enthusiasts.

Another big risk for altcoins is only Bitcoin is considered as non security. Altcoins have that big risk and they will fall to hell if they all are considered as securities.
1207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: February 28, 2023, 02:32:30 AM
There are for sure some great names in the competition and it is also good that the favorites aren't eliminating each other just yet.
Juventus, Manchester United, Sevilla, Arsenal, Roma, Freiburg and some other good clubs, they are making Europa League very competitive. It's a strange season when some big clubs are uniting in Europa League where they don't want to participate in.

Quote
Freiburg is in good shape, but given that Juventus Turin has only one chance to save this season by winning this competition. They know that the Europa League is more important to them than ever. They are now 13 points behind in the Serie A, but if they can secure a spot in the Champions League for next season they can still look forward to a fresh start after this bad season.
Juventus know that if they win Europa League, they will be awarded a special ticket to join Champions League in a next season. They do know that it's impossible for them to complete Serie A in top four because they have too big gaps with top five at the moment. The deduction with 15 points is harmful for Juventus chance to finish in top four.

Winning Europa League is not easy but it is a more realistic task for them than ending in Serie A top four. They don't have to chase any club in Europa League and task is beating each opponent to the last one in final match. Juventus have enough good players and a very experienced coach in cup format, Allegri that can help them lift Europa League.

If ever the known no-kyc p2p exchanges returned no results. I say try hitting some social networking platforms as well and see if it’s possible to invite someone over. A lot of people actually trade on discord, facebook, telegram, etc. without or a with a filmsy “escrow”. These people most likely don’t know there are better alternatives to do p2p that’s why they settle for such…
I don't think trading on any platform (Discord, Telegram, etc.) without Escrow is safely to do. Scammers mostly watch over those channels to find such trades and scam inexperienced traders. So Escrow service provided by highly trusted person is very important to secure such trades for both buyer and seller.

Consider to trade with trusted trade partners and if you want to use Escrow service to make such trades more safely, only use Escrow from very trusted provider/ person.

In future, I believe there will be less platforms with non-KYC services.
1209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 28, 2023, 01:52:29 AM
The intimidation in this match was very real, we can see in the statistics that even Union Berlin didn't have a single shot on goal. In their previous meeting, Union Berlin could get a draw maybe because they are playing at their home and get more motivation to give a good result for their fans.

Currently Union Berlin is in third place, they are 3 points behind Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Not a bad result for them this season, because apart from them being at the top of the Bundesliga standings, they are also still playing at UEL.
Union Berlin had a bad defeat without ability to fight against Bayern Munich but they actually have a good season. Having a third position is great for them and getting it with only three points less than first and second clubs is very amazing for a small club like them.

I think the important aim of Union Berlin in this season would be realistic as a position in top four that can help them to gain good awarded income at the season ending as well as getting chance to play in Champions League next season together with bigger income.

It won't be easy for Union Berlin as Leipzig and Frankfurt can take over their third position too. They are very closely in total points on the table and are not big different against each other.

Bitcoin could ruin their business. especially for countries that have not been able to suppress corruption cases. and their current political elites insist on protecting their own money. one of them with what you're talking about.
this is not the first problem, this kind of situation I think has appeared several times in the past. and the news came and then it disappeared. affect the market, but that will mean nothing because the trust in Bitcoin is currently growing very strongly.
If they can not stop miners operating their mining farms, they won't be able to prevent citizens to use and trade Bitcoin.

Trading deals can be done on centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges, non-KYC exchanges or in-person trade deals. People can exchange Bitcoin individually to get books and many things. Lightning network is helpful for small deals too.

Governments have no way to stop it completely and I only think that they will not try to stop it. They want money for their governmental operations and how to get it? They can gain it from citizen tax and in cryptocurrency, they can force exchanges and cryptocurrency enthusiasts to pay tax. That's one of main business tasks for governments.
1211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 27, 2023, 02:11:45 AM
I think not only that, but Bayern Munich, who appeared very impressive against Union Berlin, was to regain the top position in the Bundesliga so that Dortmund would not immediately take it. Because before the three of them played for their 22nd match in the Bundesliga, the number of points owned by the three of them was the same, so Bayern Munich had to look really impressive against Union Berlin at home. (Allianz Arena).
Bayern Munich are still able to beat their direct competitors and opponents. Bundesliga is still interesting because from Bayern Munich to Freiburg at the fifth position, only 5 points gap. However I feel like gradually Bundesliga title race has become a dual race between Bayern Munich and Dortmund again.

Other clubs look to gradual lose their good performance when a season comes to very last months. Union Berlin and Leipzig likely will have to compete each other for the third position as well as protect their fourth position against the challenge from Freiburg.

Next week it is going to be a crucial game for Dortmund vs Leipzing,they are coming from 9 consecutive victories and I hope they will be extending this number putting up a real title fight with Bayern,not like Union Berlin and Leipzig who simply lack the consistency of Dortmund.
Next week, it will be an important match to decide between Dortmund and Leipzig, what team will become a biggest competitor for Bayer Munich in this season. I bet on Dortmund and think they will continue their good form and exclude Leipzig from the title race.
1212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: February 26, 2023, 03:18:29 AM
Liverpool are just wasting all their chances in all the tournaments they compete in. In this way they are going to finish the season without a proper success. Finishing a season without titles is very bad for a team like Liverpool. Klopp will continue to be criticized harshly for that. As they are about to be eliminated in the Champions League as well he might be in trouble too maybe.
Liverpool are the only club can beat Newcastle United in this season and they did it not only one but two times. However, this season for Liverpool is messy from Premier League to Champions League. They can beat Newcastle United but shortly after that they could not beat Crystal Palace and make their race to top four more difficult.

Quote
Klopp deserves to be given more chances maybe due to his great history with the team so far. But this is really too much for them.
Did Liverpool have a similar bad position when Klopp joined them 7 years ago?

It's not the end of world for Klopp and Liverpool and he is deserved with another chance after all achievements he made for Liverpool. Without Klopp, it's hard to imagine how Liverpool can win Premier League and Champions League. He is one of legendary coaches in Liverpool history and a next season he should be in Anfield to prove that he can rebuild the club again.

At the start of Cristiano Ronaldo's debut at Al-Nassr, we could still see the Al-nassr players at that time still couldn't adjust to Cristiano Ronaldo's game. and vice versa Cristiano Ronaldo has not been able to adapt to his initial debut.
But in the last few matches we have seen that Al-nassr players and also Cristiano Ronaldo have been able to adjust to each other and have seen an increasingly harmonious pattern of play. Al-nassr's current baits and attack patterns are very good. and it looks like it will continue to increase. and Cristiano Ronaldo seems genuinely respected by the Al-Nassr players. And make Cristiano Ronaldo even more comfortable there.
His team-mates connect with Ronaldo better and Ronaldo himself has successfully adapted to the league and his new team-mates. In the latest match, Ronaldo not only scored a hattrick but he also made some good passes to his team-mates. He does feel very happy in Al Nassr now as we can understand with a big player like Ronaldo, scoring goals is his ambition and happiness.

With this scoring rate, Ronaldo will possibly win the Best scorer award in Saudi league even he just joined it in a second half of season.

Quote
and you're right the Saudi Pro League seems to be increasingly in the spotlight and I think there will be more big players coming to this league in the future.
Ronaldo is very famous and he has big traffics on social media and his appearance in Saudi League contributes to make this league more exciting and attractive. Before his appearance, that league is nothing on global social media but now as you said, it takes spotlights on media.
1214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: February 26, 2023, 03:01:27 AM
There is no other choice for Barca this season besides focusing on La Liga. They are still leading and they have to focus on gathering points in the rest of the match this season. It will be hard because Madrid will not make it easy.
With the tight match made by Madrid it will be an opportunity for Barca if Madrid finally cannot focus on La Liga. Although both, Barca and Madrid also still have to fight for the Copa del Rey.
Coppa del Rey is not a big interest of Barcelona and Real Madrid and they will focus on La Liga (Barcelona) and Champions League (Real Madrid). Barcelona have a chance to increase their gap with Real Madrid to 10 points after a draw of two Madrids. With ten points, they will have very good difference and likely will take the crow in La Liga.

Barcelona have another reason to fight in Coppa del Rey if they have too good big gap in La Liga but Real Madrid will have to focus more on Champions League. Coppa del Rey is something very extra for Real Madrid in their considerations.

It seems that it is quite impossible that Real Madrid can take over first place again. If Barcelona wins against Almeria tomorrow, the point difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid will be 10 points. This really makes a good point for Barcelona. Now they only focus on La Liga and moreover Real Madrid's performance in La Liga is quite bad for several matches.
I don't know why Real Madrid lost so many points in La Liga after World Cup 2022. Maybe their old players were affected by World Cup 2022 and they returned to La Liga with exhausted bodies that impact their performances too negatively.

10 points if it occur, are very big gap between two competitors.
1215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: February 25, 2023, 02:50:18 AM
I think it depends on who offers how much to Messi. There is a talk about him being offered even more than Ronaldo, which would be the new record in all of football, and if he is offered that much, I am not entirely sure he would be leaving that on the table. It comes with some incentives and seen Ronaldo basically becoming Arabic at this point with how much he is forced to adjust to their style and all that, but the money may justify it, considering its hundreds of millions of dollars.
Messi does not actually want a higher salary than Ronaldo. Having a higher salary than Ronaldo is good but if it is a same or little bit less, it is not big matter with Messi. Does he currently receive lower salary than Ronaldo by playing for PSG?

I believe if clubs in Saudi Arabia send their offers to Messi, it would be very big offer and likely will give him better salary than Ronaldo. They compete directly with each other in football, in competitions, tournaments but in salary, it is an indirect competition and is decided by their performance and reputation, clubs give them competitive offers very naturally.

Quote
However, if he wants to win one more year, I think he may have to realize that it may not come with PSG and the way they are playing, something needs to change for that to happen.
It's best for Messi if he ends his career in Europe with a Champions League and another Ballon d'Or. If he succeeds, he will have a very happy ending in Europe and can enjoy rest of his career anywhere. So moving to Middle East and spend some years there sounds too good for Messi. Even if he won't win Champions League with PSG, he already got a lot of big achievements in his career.

They have to temporarily stop it because their license is for minting BUSD on ERC-20 chain, not on BEP-20 chain (Binance Smart Chain).

Binance started to burn BUSD on BEP-20 chain and for Paxos, I believe that they will cooperate with authorities and with their staffs in Legal & Compliance team to expand their license to BEP-20 chain. It's hard because of trade war between the USA. and China but I believe they will successfully to resolve it in future.

BUSD will come back to BEP-20 chain on Paxos but if Paxos fails, it's not the end of BUSD BEP-20. Binance can work with other stable coin companies to support and mint BUSD for them.

It is a war among stable coins and between stable coins vs coming CBDCs.
1218  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: FIX THE MONEY - FIX THE WORLD #Bitcoin on: February 24, 2023, 05:15:35 AM
I partially agree with the statement "Fix the money, fix the world". However, there are several problems here.
We can fix the money globally, if gold coins become the global currency again(or we revive the gold standard all around the world). The problem is that there's not enough gold to make enough gold coins to cover all global transactions.
The same thing can be applied to Bitcoin. We could make Bitcoin the one and only global currency, but the Bitcoin Core blockchain cannot handle all the financial transactions in the world. Scaling remains the main problem, when it comes to fixing the global finance.
Bitcoin won't become a global currency and not all countries will consider it as legal tender.

Bitcoin and Bitcoiners can not fix the world economy and financial system. We can not but Bitcoin gives us a fair chance to accept or reject it. It gives us chance to invest in one of best investment assets in history. It is supported by the technical evolution originated by blockchain technology and Bitcoin.

Well said, bro!
Thank you.

Quote
This is precisely what others will agree with. Yeah, We love Bitcoin. That doesn't mean we must support it blindly, and not think of another side. Also, I believe this slogan means being for the financial side, not social or political.

In this case, Fixing the world means fixing the world's money system.
Surely bitcoin won't be able to fix everything outside of the financial system.
If we use that perfect motto, does it sound like "Too good too be true"?

Things are "too good to be true" will cause doubtful thinking in people who receive that message. We want to expand Bitcoin adoption but don't want to build barriers that prevent people to join with Bitcoin community.
1219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: February 24, 2023, 02:57:10 AM
So my prediction was wrong, even though Barca took the lead after Lewandowski's successful penalty.
But Manchester United played well right after the break, Fred controlled perfectly before putting his heart to beat Stegen, 75 minutes Antony left foot shot into the far corner to continue to knock Stegen. Fixing a 2-1 win for Manchester United.
It's sad that Barca lacks 3 important faces: Pedri vs Gavi and winger Dembele. As you say it's a bad thing for Barcelona in this game.
Bruno made a stupid mistake and gave Barcelona a penalty with that Lewandowski had stupid shot but De Gea just was unlucky to save it completely. After that, Manchester United played better and they deserved a final win. De Gea again shown that he is bad with his legs and nearly gave Barcelona a chance to find their second goal.

Generally Ten Hag improved Manchester United a lot. They are playing more aggressive attacking and their attacking style is faster and more directly.

Just like you, I was also surprised to see the result that occurred in the Union Berlin Vs Ajax match, people thought that Union Berlin was just an ordinary underdog team, but in the second leg against Ajax they proved that the public's perception of them was wrong. Apart from the Bundesliga, Union Berlin really made a surprise at UEL too.
Union Berlin are underdog in both Bundesliga and Europa League but they will be like Napoli in Champions League. They can beat Ajax which lost their power and competitiveness a lot since the summer. They lost Ten Hag and a couple of important star players and have yet found good replacements for those players.

According to Messi's brother, he said that Messi would not go to Barcelona anymore, now I have no idea what PSG plans with Messi, in the last match it was Messi who saved PSG in that exciting match with Lillle which in my personal opinion I thought that PSG was going to lose, everything pointed to that.
If you are Messi, would you want and happy to return to Barcelona?

I don't know your answer but if I was Messi, I won't do that. Never after all of bad treatments they did against Messi.

Quote
Personally, I would like Messi to leave PSG, for PSG to stay with Mbappé and for him to build the team, because in a few words that is what he wants and since they have given him so many freedoms and power it is obvious, PSG is the only club that has given a lot of importance to a player and that sometimes I feel that they put him above the club, which seems very bad to me, something that Real Madrid did let them know when Mbappé wanted to go to Madrid once he rejected them.
If Messi win Champions League with PSG in this season, I am so sure that he will have more reasons to leave and possibly he will move to Saudi Arabia to play a few seasons there and earn lot of money before he ends his career. If Ronaldo can move to Saudi Arabia, why Messi can not do this?

They both won so many titles from clubs to their national team and personally titles too. To find reasons to stay in Europe is not easy if they see more attractive financial offers for 2 or 3 last years of their career.

If PSG fails in Champions League this season, Messi possibly will sign another one year contract with them. I guess he still want to win a last Champions League before ending his career. Many seasons since his last cup there with Barcelona and a legendary trio Messi, Neymar and Suarez.
