I don't care about LTC because it's not worth the investment, but I disagree when pooya87 talks about ETH. I remember that ETH's ATH in 2017 was over 1k$ and ETH's ATH during the 2021 bull season was almost 5k$. Why do you say it can't return to the 2017 high? I agree, most altcoins are gambling not investments but ETH is not like that.
Ethereum is still a risky altcoin even it has many years in the market, went through some bear markets and had some great bull runs. A biggest risk of Ethereum is its centralization that puts the ETH blockchain under super big risk of being seriously regulated by governments. With its centralized network, transactions can be rolled back like after the DAO hack or censored by their big centralized validators. If you want something really decentralized, it's only Bitcoin and if one more, it's Monero but not Ethereum. |

The next match for the Sevilla team is against a promoted team in La Liga this season whose current ranking is not far from Sevilla's ranking. This means that there is a possibility for Sevilla to win because the match is also taking place at Sevilla's home ground so Sevilla should get full points in the next match. Because currently Sevilla has no points at all and is at the bottom of the standings which is very sad for Sevilla at the moment.
Sevilla is a very experienced club in La Liga and they have many years here. Last twenty years are most successful time in their club history but they must face with reality. The past season and poor performance in early of this season are red flags for Sevilla. It shows that they actually have something seriously wrong in their club. If they are not careful look at themselves, analyze their own problems and improve soon, they will face with delegation in future which is not comfortable with a big club like Sevilla. In La Liga, we can say they are one of biggest clubs. |

Empoli is not tough for Roma and I believe Roma can reverse the situation that hit them at the start of this season, such as difficulty in winning. So in this match Roma will play with full ambition to achieve their first win. Well, looking at their opponents, of course Empoli will be easily beaten by Roma because they have the advantage of playing at Roma home ground. Apart from that, Roma have had problems on their front line this season, but it is hoped that Lukaku presence can cover their weak points.
Empoli is not a tough opponent for Roma and they will play the match at their home stadium. It's good chance for Roma to take three points from Empoli and improve their ranking in Serie A. If they can complete the task well, they can reduce pressure after first three bad matches. Lukaku, Azmoun and Belloti will give Mourinho a little bit headache when choosing a striker for his squad. Will Roma play with two strikers and one forward Dybala behind? It's not a favorite style of Mourinho but when he needs a winning, he can let his team playing attacking. Belotti started this season very good but I think a combination of Azmoun and Lukaku is better than Lukaku and Belotti. It seems Alexis Sánchez is not in a good situation in Inter Milan He faced anemia. Alexis Sánchez surely he needs to have treatment to get recover but this 34-year-old player doesn't have too much time in Inter Milan to prove himself. I mean he is old and his contract is just for one year, his teams if he loses some games because of anemia, we can say this transfer was not good for Inter Milan.  https://football-italia.net/inter-concern-as-chile-investigate-reported-alexis-sanchez-anaemia/Not sure why a player can have anemia as it is weird. Alexis Sanchez is at very ending of his career and with the short contract with Inter Milan, he does not have enough time to prove himself in this season. If his anemia disease won't be treated well enough, he will miss many matches in this season for Inter Milan by his health condition. Even he is healthy and ready with good fitness, his chance to be chosen for Inter Milan squad is slim enough. Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram are best choices for Inter Milan in this season. |

Well they do have two other world class players in Sergio Busquets who was crucial in the third goal and Jordi Alba who is an excellent fullback.
Between those three they are able to influence the entire team with Alba building up the defense and Busquets making the other midfielders he is paired with better. And of course Messi is capable of influencing the entire team and making everyone play at a higher level than they were doing.
Messi and Jordi Alba are playing very good for Inter Miami, improving their quality and performance but I would say oppositely with Busquet. The midfielder made many mistakes and put Inter Miami at risk of dangerous counter attacks from opponents. He played very carelessly and big issue is his attitude, not his quality or fitness. In some mistakes made by Busquet, he did it very terrible and it's unacceptable with an experienced midfielder like him. Messi can not create magic moments in every match and can not always rescue Inter Miami. |

Even though Juve feels disadvantaged because of Paul Pogba's injury, however, no player wants to have this problem and this injury happened accidentally, so Juve should be able to accept this situation because after all, this situation is the responsibility of Juve who have chosen this player.
Pogba is a star player but he mostly spent time with injuries and recovery in the last two years. After returning to Juventus, he only has 7 matches for them. It is not a stat from a healthy player and with this, Juventus did not feel impacts from Pogba missing. They would feel different if he is an important player in their squad, with many appearances and great contributions but suddenly get an injury and miss many matches. I'm sure Paul Pogba has very good talent and will provide his skills to improve Juve's performance but unfortunately everything doesn't go according to plan and actually cutting the salaries of injured players doesn't seem like the best way because it will definitely make these players feel unappreciated.
No doubt about the talent of Pogba but injuries and ageing are biggest enemies of all players. Pogba are facing with many injuries and at the same time, he is getting more problem with his age too. Continue with injuries like this in one or two more years, if nothing is improved, Pogba will come to his retirement decision soon. |

The Saudi government is allocating a lot of money to develop their league. Spending money is not difficult for them. Right now their goal is to inform the world about Saudi Arabia, to inform about Saudi Arabian football. And this is the goal they are moving towards. As far as I know Ronaldo has the most followers on social media. This is why Saudi Arabia was very interested in taking Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia. However, Saudi Arabia is keen to host the 2030 World Cup. And maybe before that they want to make the Saudi League more popular.
Saudi Arabia government are spending lot of money through PIF to boost Saudi Professional League. They give four biggest clubs a lot of money to buy star players from Europe and give those players very high salary as well as great privileges. Ronaldo is like their league brand ambassador but after that, they continued to buy Benzema who just won Ballon d'Or two seasons ago. Ronaldo and Benzema decisions to join Saudi Professional League convinced more star players from Europe to move to Saudi Arabia. It is part of their plan to build up a stronger league that is a foundation for their national team. Aiming at World Cup 2030 with this ambitious plan looks good and at least Saudi Arabia has a stronger national team than Quatar. To prepare for World Cup 2022, Quatar had a long plan for their youth players but even so they could not achieve good results in World Cup 2022. |

Technically even the flawed and broken ones are smart contracts.
Thank you for answering about smart contracts which are not smart at all. About security, they are garbage with their bad hack history. With those smart contract platforms, when they have a big upgrade for their protocol, their users must be very careful and should convert those coins and tokens to Bitcoin. Because big risk that after their big upgrade, their blockchains will have big holes for hackers to exploit. Prevention is better than cure, safety first so I am seriously advice Smart contract enthusiasts about that. |

I may reach my Bitcoin goal very soon all thanks to majorly the Dollar Cost Averaging strategy. I have been investing some specific amount into Bitcoin every month since the past couple of years. I have been at least 80% consistent in doing that through the dips and the funds and the bears and the pumps.
Congratulations to you because you almost reach your Bitcoin goal with DCA. The question that's been on my heart is what do I do when I finally reach this goal: set a new one and DCA or just keep DCAing without any goal in mind. If you have reached reached your Bitcoin goal what did you do after then?
Let me challenge you with a question. What do you expect with Bitcoin growth in future and Why do you decide to DCA Bitcoin in last couple of years? If you think its future growth is good and you DCA because you planed to invest in Bitcoin some years, at least one more halving, not only a next halving in 2024, you will some thinking like. - Will you hold your Bitcoin (in this almost done plan) till 2028 without selling it? - If you continue DCA, but buying Bitcoin at higher price after 2024 halving and bull run, but don't have enough savings to use, will you have to sell your bitcoin? If your plan is continuation of DCA but can sell it in next one or two years, I think you can simply hold your bitcoin and use your future income as your saving, it's not necessary to DCA more. |

I guess that's because there's not much interest in BTC-based smart contracts. All of the attention is on Ethereum and the likes.
Are they really smart contracts because many hacks successfully done by hackers against Smart contracts. Good for Bitcoin, because it was never meant to be an "All-in-one Blockchain platform".
Bitcoin was not designed as an "All-in-one blockchain" but fortunately, it does not have excessive hacks like Smart Contracts. Hackers can hack Smart Contracts on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Harmony chain and more altcoin chains but they have never successfully hacked Bitcoin blokchain. More features = greater security risks. But there's nothing we can do about this if the community gives their approval. After all, Bitcoin is decentralized and open source.
Thanks god because Bitcoin is decentralized and open source and community will be against smart contracts on Bitcoin blockchain. The unique blockchain must be different than altcoin blockchains that want to surpass Bitcoin blockchain but can not achieve a same security level like Bitcoin blockchain. |

That is very correct. Napoli were just unlucky as they couldn't finish every attack and chance they had very well. And in this match Napoli actually played very comfortably. But sometimes comfort does make a team let down for a moment and this is what happened to Napoli. Because overall you can see that Napoli is superior in all respects in the statistical table for the match. It's just that Lazio's defense in this match was really strong. And Napoli were a little careless because they were too focused on attacking. I hope this is an important lesson for Rudi Garcia and the Napoli squad. So that they don't let their guard down when facing a team that they think is easy.
Napoli dominated the match, created many chances but only scored one goal and at the end they lost it to Lazio. It can be an unlucky match for Napoli but fortunately it helped them to look deeply at their mistakes in the match, weaknesses shown by Lazio in the match. It is very helpful for them to learn lessons from the defeat and improve themselves for rest of the long season. Rudi Garcia must deeply analyze midfield and defense areas of Napoli because to go far, win titles, they can not too many holes in their defense system that starts from midfield area. Lazio actually did their great jobs, took advantage of opportunities they got in the match and finalized some chances well to grab three points to their home. |

Kevin De Bruyne was an elective player in Manchester City and he had an amazing performance when he was in good form, but unfortunately, this player is injured now, and even if he recovered he can't get back in shape soon. That's why Pep Guardiola decided to hire Dani Olmo from Leipzig but just after that, they said they not going to sell this palyer because they lost many players and surely Leipzig doesn't want to lose another palyer.  https://www.90min.com/posts/dani-olmo-responds-man-city-transfer-linksDani Olmo is a Spanish player and he played so well for Spain in latest big tournaments. He is surely familiar with tiki taka by being a Spanish player, play for Spanish national team many years. He has similar style like Bernado Silva and does not look to have a same style like De Bruyne. Olmo does not have good finishing skills too and he only is able to provide dynamic for attacking system which Manchester City has enough players for it. I don't believe Pep wanted to have Olmo to directly replace a position of Kevin De Bruyne but he had other plans in his mind with the Spanish player. After all, they did not get Olmo so Manchester City will have to wait till January 2024 or summer 2024 to return to negotiation with Leipzig. |

Napoli won the title last season. More importantly, Napoli's dominance was evident throughout the season. The team has consistently played well since the start of the season and won.
They dominated Serie A in the last season but it does not guarantee they will continue that domination in this season. They had some big changes in their club, from coach (Spaletti left, Garcia came) and their key central defender Kim Min-Jae sold to Bayern Munich. Those changes have effects on Napoli but big or small, we will need more matches to see. We have not seen a worse performance from Napoli in any match and also Napoli had a bigger points gap than other teams.
They just got a shock loss by Lazio but it can be an accident only. It's too soon to consider it as signal that Napoli will have a bad season and not be able to defend their Scudetto. And so Napoli fans will have high expectations from the team this season as well. But I don't think new coach Garcia will be able to live up to these expectations. Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus have strengthened themselves. And the fact that they are playing for the title this season makes it much more difficult for Napoli to dominate Serie A. I think the Bon Juventus team is stronger than Napoli this season at Inter Milan.
Their President and fans expect Napoli to play better in Champions League but it is unrealistic. They are not a big club in Champions League and successful performance like the past season is not easy to repeat for Napoli. Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and some big clubs will return to their best soon. They will not give medium clubs or underdogs like Napoli to make shocks in many seasons. Garcia is an experienced coach but he did not win big title or Champions League throughout his career so far. |

Indonesia, especially Jakarta is in a pollution emergency, Many say that this is caused by steam power plants where the fuel is coal. And, sadly I heard also on my social media local that this pollution is also caused by crypto-mining, I debated and rejected it opinion because crypto-mining in Indonesia is not much like other countries where their air is still clean today.
So what do you though, is crypto mining become a big problem of pollution?
It is not truly real reasons. There are many contributors to air pollution like smoke from vehicles, farming activities when they burn grass seasonally and other things. If saying the air in Jakarta is polluted only or mainly by cryptocurrency mining, it is a damn lie. In addition, cryptocurrency mining is not a biggest industry in Jakarta and it does not exhaust enough to cause air pollution. Empirical evidence shows that air quality changes during COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in Jakarta, Indonesia are due to seasonal variation, not restricted movements |

Hot or Cold wallets are depend on people's opinions. For me, because Electrum wallet I often do use it offline, (where I can create and sign transactions offline), I assume that Electrum wallet is a kind of cold wallet, such as a hardware wallet. You can use Electrum wallet also on air gaped devices where never connected on the internet. So it's a different situation like another hot wallet such as blockchain.com, coibase wallet, or exchange wallet where if we want to use it we must connect to the internet.
Hot and cold wallets must be set up manually by a user so security of a wallet depends on how a person sets it up and uses it later. Cold wallets are safer than hot wallets but with two different practices, good and bad, results from using a hot and a cold wallet will be different too. Basic rule is don't store your main capital in a hot wallet that is more vulnerable to hack than a cold wallet. Electrum wallet can be used as a hot or a cold storage wallet, depends on how you set it up. It can be used on computer and mobile devices, very convenient. You can set up a multisig hot wallet with Electrum. Creating a cold storage wallet in ElectrumCreating a multisig wallet |

You can earn some profit if the funding rate is abnormal and if the market does not go against your open position during that short time. Imagine having the balls to long and yet the market is dumping with some long red candle sticks all for the sake of earning that profit from the funding rate.
Also, it is very hard to predict what the next funding rate might be, it could be negative or positive. Things change in a flash.
I did not mean a trader must predict a next funding rate and try to get profit from funding rate on exchange. It is only very minor profit and traders should only take it if they can have both a draw for their position closing and minor profit from funding rate at the same time. They close their current positions because feeling risk if they let those positions open longer. So it is good if with risk management for their positions, they can still have minor profit from funding rate which is not their main concern. |

If the centralized exchange implement KYC because they said it's to enhances their security, it's a bullshit.
If they tell this, it's bullshit. KYC only help exchanges to obey governmental regulations and avoid troubles with governments. It does not help to increase their exchange security because security belongs to different thing and it is built and maintained by different infrastructures. Why KYC is extremely dangerous – and useless |

Yannick Carrasco could have much better options than playing for the Saudis. This 30-year-old palyer had one year left on his contract with Atletico Madrid and he asked the team to let him go. Atletico Madrid earned 15 million from this deal which is a good amount of money for a palyer like Yannick Carrasco. He signed a three-year contract with Al Shabab.  Players around 30s like Carrasco are very fitted to join Saudi Professional League as they can enjoy their life after retirement or if they are just 30 like Carrasco, they can return to Europe after two or three seasons in Saudi Arabia. Carrasco did have some excellent moments with Atletico Madrid when that club got some successful seasons in Champions League years ago. After that, he is still a main player in that club but no longer got good seasons again. They were not able to win La Liga and Champions League and likely won't be able to win those titles in next few years. So the Belgium midfielder made an acceptable decision to leave and took advantage of Saudi Professional League growth to collect money. |

Liverpool is also reportedly interested in Sofyan Amrabat, but Manchester United is his choice, to continue his career even more brilliantly.
Not sure how serious effort Liverpool spent for Amrabat to negotiate with Fiorentina but he had a very successful season in the last year, went to semi final in World Cup 2022 with Morocco and went through Conference League final match with Fiorentina. He is a very strong defensive midfielder and can help Manchester United by playing together with Casemiro or replace Casemiro when the Brazilian midfielder can not play. Will Amrabat's presence make a difference for United? Of course, that's what Ten Hag hopes for, because so far Manchester United still seems to be looking for the best pattern of play for them, there are no players who have appeared impressive, including their captain and their main striker, and their game looks increasingly weak when the defender who is their mainstay suffers Luke Shaw and Raphael Varane were injured, without the presence of these two defenders, Arsenal could have scored 3 goals to United nets, even two goals occurred in the final minutes of the match.
He will help to close more open space around the 16.5m area for Manchester United but Ten Hag must work with defenders to tighten their defensive system. Relying on either Casemiro or Amrabat to improve their defense is not enough. If it turns out that Amrabat needs time to adapt then Ten Hag will be in a difficult position and we will see United struggle in every match with their main players recovering from injuries.
Every player needs time to adapt to a new club and in the last season, Casemiro needed a few months to start playing for Manchester United and had impressive matches for them. |
