But later he also added that he was required to send a little fee for withdrawing the fund which will be sent to coincapmarket (see the difference). I realized he was going to be scammed lol.
Any deal starts with a request to send your money first, send your BTC first to receive your salary or withdrawal later, it is scam.

We don't have to put in any collateral to receive our salary or withdrawal. If your friend keeps this rule in his mind, he will never be scammed. I believe you already told your friend about that.

The red card impacted the extra time and not the game. ATM was leading with 1 goal for 60 minutes and failed to secure it at the end. This cost them the whole match since in the extra time, they were playing with 10 players vs 11 and both Benzema and Vinicius didn't let ATM try their luck in penalties.
At the end, Real Madrid game was quite hard comparing to Barcelona
Atletico Madrid has been managed by Simeone who has his philosophy totally focuses on defense. Since the departure of Diego Godin, a new era of Atletico Madrid came and their defense system has become weaker in last few seasons.

In this season, they not only have more problems in defense but also in attacking. With a weaker defense and a less effective attacking system, Atletico Madrid have worse performance and become less competitive in La Liga. Real Madrid again shown that they are a very dangerous team and if opponents fail to beat Real Madrid with big difference, they can come back and flip results at the end.

Agreed, after stefan savic was getting red card and this is also changing the game play tempo by atletico madrid. Atletico madrid may able to push the game into the penalty if atletico madrid was not wasting its chance by getting 1 red card against real madrid.
That's very unlucky moment for atletico madrid. Stefan savic should not do that. It's very bad to see the performance from atletico madrid at this moment.
I am not sure why Atletico Madrid have too many problems with their fouls and cards this season. It can be something wrong with referees or something wrong with their coach and players. Maybe their players are no longer disciplined as they used to be which makes them more vulnerable to cards, especially red cards and were sent off early more regularly.

In this case, Lazio will obviously dominate again with the confidence they have and with their good records in the last 2 matches, this is clearly a kicker, especially when they will also be playing at home.
In terms of opponents, Fiorentina is currently still not showing positive signs and this is increasingly giving Lazio the upper hand.
I think this will be easy for Lazio if you look at the gameplay of the two clubs so indeed seeing the current 2.12 odds for Lazio looks more tempting.
In top six of Serie A, Lazio has a second best goal difference just after Napoli. They have so good attacking in this season and in a coming match, they will have an advantage from their home stadium. This match day is important for all clubs in top six and any loss will make big changes in the ranking table.

Fiorentina lost most of their attacking power after selling Vlahovic to Juventus and they have yet found another striker who can replace Vlahovic for them. With their form, they will have so small chance to beat Lazio and a best result is a draw for them.


Napoli shall continue its win streak against as roma. As aroma was is still in a good position. As aroma was able to winning several matches. Napoli shall be careful with aroma. roma is starting to perform even better under Mourinho. I hope that roma will be buying ziyech from Chelsea. Ziyech will give a lot of contributions to the Roma. Napoli odds look very good at this moment. I will take napoli rather than roma. Napoli is having a very good result against some big clubs.
Napoli had only one loss in Serie A this season but they will not want to have another one just after a first match of second half of season. AS Roma will not want to lose because they see a very clear chance to take over a second position which is currently hold by AC Milan. With only 1 point less than AC Milan, a win against Napoli can change Roma rank a lot.

I wouldn't say Chelsea's performance has changed much as a result of the coaching change. Chelsea's performance is still poor. But their performance is stabilizing. Chelsea has problems with match tactics. At the same time, Chelsea's squad is not very strong.
They changed the coach position from Tuchel to Potter a few months ago and it is long enough to expect for good improvement from Potter. So far I don't see good improvement for Chelsea from Potter and lately they have gotten some new players including an expensive player Mudryk as well as a big loan of Joao Felix. I don't think it is fair to blame all bad results on Potter. Other people are responsible for the club performance too from players to his assistants and medical staffs.

Despite Liverpool having a strong squad, their performances are unstable. On the other hand, Chelsea's squad is weak and the coach's match strategy is weak too. I don't think we will see much improvement in Chelsea's performance unless they add more talented players to the squad. Chelsea's performance this season has been so unstable.
Liverpool have too bad defense system that is not good for title competition. Injuries are other reasons why Liverpool have never had best players for their matches in this season. Usually clubs can not play well if many players in their squad got injuries and have yet recovered from medical care.

With the current state of market trust what will incentivize the average person to use bitcoin over a CBDC?
Bitcoin does not need to compete with CBDCs which are worse than Bitcoin. It does not have to join such competition because CBDCs are centralized, not decentralized currency.

With Bitcoin, you have a full decentralization and freedom which you can not find in any CBDC.

Quote
Since banks can control supply they can use inflation and other mechanisms to encourage spending.
CBDCs will have problems with inflation or hyper inflation which is worse than fiat currency in my opinion. With CBDCs, minting new supply is more easily than printing new circulating supply for fiat currency.

The big match for this week is Napoli vs As Roma, Napoli are favored not only because they will be playing at home but also because they have more strength than their opponents this time, Napoli managed to humiliate Juventus with big scores so Roma if they are not ready and have the right strategy could experience the same thing and this will end up being a match that is no longer considered a big match because Napoli is far superior and fortunately Napoli has not shown a decline in performance so far.
Napoli have 50 points after 19 matches and they are one of two best clubs in Europe together with Arsenal. It's hardly to believe that Napoli can earn 100 points in this season that is so impressive. A match with Roma is a first one for a second part of season and they will try best to win it.

AS Roma are in a race with AC Milan, Inter Milan, Lazio, Atalanta and they have only 3 points difference from AC Milan to Atalanta. From AC Milan 38 points to Atalanta 35 points and three other clubs with same 37 points (Inter Milan, Lazio and Roma), Roma will have chance to claim a second position if they can win against Napoli.

In terms of game performance, of course Napoli is superior and will be the favorite in this match. But As Roma has a pretty good game at the moment. Roma have been very consistent in the second half of the season.
Roma are improving and they are not an easy team to beat with Mourinho. Their coach rejected chances to be a coach for Portugal and Brazil. He demonstrated his full focus for AS Roma and his contract will expire in 2024, one more season for Roma with Mourinho.

I don't think Napoli will get an easy win against Roma and I wish to see Roma win it. If Napoli fail, it might not change anything for Scudetto race but with Roma, it is so important to race with 4 other clubs.

Although Chelsea strengthened their squad with very important names in this transfer period, I honestly think they do not have a chance for the top 4.  Fourth-placed Manchester United are 10 points ahead and they will consider the possibility that every game will be won for Chelsea and Manchester United will lose as well.  This is an unrealistic thought.  It may be possible that we will not see Chelsea in European cups after a long time.
10 points are not too big especially when Manchester United are not too solid with their performance. Lately they have so good form but it is hard to maintain it in later months. If Chelsea can improve themselves and play well, they can wait for mistakes from Manchester United and take advantage of such. It will be helpful for Chelsea to catch Manchester United and I believe it is not a too thin chance for The Blues.

However, there are more competitors for top four, not only Manchester United but there are also some other clubs like Tottenham, Newcastle United and Liverpool too. Chelsea have more competitors than only Manchester United in this race.

MU is not so bad, but I think Barcelona does have a chance to win the game.
Barcelona has a chance to win the game so does Manchester United. No club is actually too stronger than another and wining chance is sort of balancing for two clubs.

Quote
Even at the European level, it seems that the strategy implemented by Xavi still cannot work over to the European League, seeing that MU is currently in a not good mental condition. Indeed, there is still time for MU to improve their performance and strategy, but in otherside Barce will also improving their performance within this 2 weeks. I think barcelona can manage 1 goal to get 3 points.
Xavi is a young coach with limited experience in Champions League and Europa League and his club has more issues when playing in Champions League and Europa League than playing in La Liga. Xavi does not have too good ability to make his tactics more flexible to use in Europe and can not solve challenge from clubs that come from different nations. When they are from other leagues, not from La Liga, Xavi and Barcelona have bigger challenging opponents and usually they are failed to solve such opponents.

1311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 24, 2023, 11:20:15 AM
It is true that PSG has a good team and a history of league victory, but it is crucial to remember that anything can happen in sports. Lens should not be underestimated since they have shown the capacity to play effectively and cause surprising upsets. In the future games, it will be intriguing to observe how the teams measure up against one another.
They have built up their domination history in Ligue 1 and they are doing it better than Lyon in the past. I said they're doing it better because with their abundant finance resource, they will not sell their star players to improve their treasury and won't easily lose their competitiveness like Lyon.

I don't exclude future when PSG will no longer get owner from Quatar and their finance will no longer be good like now. If bad things won't happen financially, PSG will continue to dominate Ligue 1 many more years. They can lose the title in one season but if we look at Ligue 1 in 5 years, 10 years or 20 years, they're actually winner and dominator.

PSG has more goals than Lens, so if for example Lens wins and PSG loses the next match then they have the same points but PSG are still on top. Unless PSG loses big and Lens can win big, then it's possible that Lens will take over at the top of the Ligue 1 standings.
Goal difference is important because PSG have so powerful attacking and if they won't end this season with less total points than Lens or any club, it is very difficult for other clubs to compare with them about goal difference to be a winner of Ligue 1.

Quote
But even so, it will not be easy to maintain a position at the top of the standings because of course there will be greater pressure. But besides that, at this moment the top three teams are very close in points gap, so the slightest mistake will result in their position being taken over.
PSG are familiar with a first position but other clubs are not. So if they take over a first position from PSG, it's very likely that they will lose it shortly after a few match days to PSG. Because they can not maintain their good performance with pressure from top position and from PSG.

The kind of people we have in government are people who always want to fight for their selfish interests,  anything that will surely benefit them. If it's something good that has to with better development for humanity as far as it won't benefit them they will surely go against it.
In developed countries where humanity is respected and citizens have rights to fight for their freedom, governments are not free to do everything they want. They have to step back and accept some requests from citizens.

Oppositely in developed countries or ones from third world or from countries with dictatorship like Russia, North Korea, Cuba etc. people have zero freedom or little freedom. They don't have basic human rights and governments have more power.

Quote
The reason government won't accept bitcoin is not because it is a decentralized currency,  it is because they won't be able to print it like they print fiat  to steal as much as they can
If Bitcoin won't die, governments can not banned it or killed it entirely. If they can not banned the Internet and can not restrict ASIC manufacturers and Bitcoin mining farms, they can not kill Bitcoin.

Quote
If bitcoin is something the government can manipulate to steal public fund they would accept it even before now without any delay.
They can not steal your bitcoin if you store your bitcoins in non custodial wallets.
In contrast, they can steal your bitcoin if you store it on centralized exchanges that can be fully controlled by governments.

You can't complain about that to the players, they did not start the season in a good way but they later on they began to win many matches and climbed to 3rd position, i believe they would have continued playing that way and would have finished second or third
Juventus players played well to move closely to AC Milan but the accident caused them a painful punishment with 15 minus points that sink them down on the table. With it they will not be able to move closely to top four in near future and might be end this season with a position not in top four.

Quote
Roma are up to 4th position on the Italian seria A table now, they have 37 points, just 1 point behind Ac milan that is second, so they may even finish in second position this season, i am very happy for Mourinho, i know his ambition with Roma this season is to bring them back into the champions league, and i believe he would do that.
Roma have improved their performance with a return of Paulo Dybala who is very important for them. More fortunately, they got benefit of Juventus punishment and take over the fourth position. Roma can climb up to a third or even a second position in next few weeks if things go smoothly for them. Same total points as of Inter Milan and only 1 point less than AC Milan, Roma suddenly see their chance to be a runner-up in this season.
1315  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it a golden cross forming at the beginning in the first half of February? on: January 23, 2023, 03:36:20 PM
It is not that reliable since it is just another lagging indicator (following the price with a delay) like anything else. Meanwhile (guess you missed it), if you notice we are about to get a death cross on the weekly for the first time in btc's entire price history. So, which one are you going to trust now ? Potential daily golden cross or the weekly red flag? Both are higher tfs and equally important.
Look wider, Bitcoin is always bullish so that I don't mind about golden cross, death cross. With actual Bitcoin hodlers, they don't let their emotion uncontrollable and make panic decision with golden cross or death cross.

I agree with you that those crosses are very lagging indicators.

Quote
Fundamentally speaking, we are getting inflation down slowly but the stronger rally will happen once fed decides to cut down on interest rates. 1st feb meeting is the decider for me now. Will decide which cross to trust on that day Smiley
Interest rate won't be increases shortly but gradually so if FED want to cut it down, they will do it gradually too. So far, FED has yet announced any signal that they will cut it down. I believe they will continue to increase it in 2023 but with much slower increasing rate than in 2022.

When we see on media that FED are considering to cut down interest rate, it will take a few months, a half of year to have actual cut down.
1316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: January 22, 2023, 04:01:14 PM
I don't think it will be difficult for Barcelona to get 3 full points in the match against Getafe. Even though Getafe is playing at home, but their performance is still far below Barcelona, so it's likely they will play defensive football.
Logically it is weird if they won Real Madrid but can not win against Getafe. Barcelona are able to break defense of Getafe that is what I believe in. It won't be easy for Barcelona but they can do it.

One disadvantage of Barcelona is Lewandowski has not too good form recently for them. After a very impressive debut and beginning of season, it seems Lewandowski has difficult time after returning from World Cup 2022. That tournament affected his body and maybe partially because clubs in La Liga are getting more familiar with Lewandowski and already found defensive ways to constrain the striker.

It is a mini bull run with a contribution of short squeeze. Personally it is a mini bull run is similar to the mini bull run in 2019.

Manipulation is one factor of cryptocurrency market and you're right that short squeeze or mini bull run always has contribution from manipulation. If this mini bull run is strong, Bitcoin will be able to reclaim $28k or $30k before its pull back.

After a mini bull run, it will take a few months or half of a year for accumulation before 2024 bull run.

Mourinho's sole aim this season is to qualify for the Champions League. And since the start of the season, he has continued to try to stabilize the team. Roma's performance is still quite good. They are consistently performing very well. And I believe Roma players will be able to play well against Spezia. Spezia is not a weak team. So Roma defenders must perform very carefully. Otherwise it will be difficult to get 3 points.
Getting position within top four to be eligible for Champions League is one of biggest aims of Mourinho and Roma in 2022 - 2023 season. I believe Europa League is another big aim of Mourinho and Roma. After winning Conference League last season, they actually want to win a bigger title in Europe, Europa League. Mourinho always has good ability to help his clubs winning titles in Champions League and Europa League.

In the past, he helped Porto to win Europa League and Champions League in two continuous seasons so it is not strange if he wins Conference League and Europa League with Roma.

The aim in Serie A becomes a little bit more easily after Juventus got a minus of 15 points in Serie A. At least Roma will have one less competitor for top four race in Serie A.
1319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 21, 2023, 02:55:32 PM
This season, however, Juventus are not without star players. But it cannot be said that their performance is weak. Now they are tenth in the table but out of 18 matches, they have won 11 matches and lost only 3 matches. The coach of Juventus managed to stabilize the team well. I think Juventus will keep their squad unchanged next season. But they need a regular and experienced striker.
They have many star players and despite of their bad start of season, they gradually improved their performance and manage to challenge AC Milan for a second position. Unfortunately, this punishment with a minus of 15 points will mostly strike out Juventus from the Champions League eligible area. In best ending, they will be able only joined Europa League or Conference League next season.

I have not seen any strict punishment like this in middle of season. In past events, clubs were punished at beginning of a next season, not like Juventus this time. It sounds like an unfair punishment on Juventus.

A dwell between the most disappointing teams to find out the most disappointing team. It is an important game for both teams and Managers. For Klopp, a win in this game will be important to mark his 1000th game as a manager, and it will be exciting in front of the home fans.
Winning this match for Liverpool to improve ranking on Premier League table is more important than his 1000th management game. I believe Klopp really want to help Liverpool get out of the crisis as soon as possible. The 1000th match is a big match so if he wins it with Liverpool, that is great.

Quote
I noticed that Mudryk is starting on the bench for Chelsea today and I don't get the point of using same old players that have not brought you results in a couple of games when you have fresh legs.
Mudryk only joined Chelsea a few days and it is reasonable to see he starts on bench today. Maybe Potter will try to use Mudryk when Chelsea needs to have more powerful attacking or if they have good temporary result against Liverpool.

About Mudryk, I still don't understand why he has a very high transfer price like what Chelsea spent. Also I am shocked to see Chelsea easily to accept that high cost for this player. It is a risky transfer for Chelsea in my opinion because Mudryk has yet demonstrated his ability well in too many seasons.
