I don't know what's really on Mbappe's mind. with Mbappe's statement that he will stay at PSG until his contract expires, of course, it is a loss for PSG.
In Mbappe's minds, his biggest concerns are money and titles with two most wanted titles are Champions League and Ballon d'Or. He already won World Cup with France in 2018 tournament so it is not his most wanted title now. He has never won any Champions League and no Ballon d'Or so far in his career. PSG actually needs him on the front lines for this season. but the punishment they gave to Mbappe seems to require PSG to find a new striker to compete in the Champions League. In Ligue 1 maybe PSG will have no trouble even without Mbappe. but with the Champions League, PSG must have a tough squad.
PSG actually needs Mbappe but only if he wants to stay and play for them with full of concentration and best contributions. If he only plays for them because he has to do so in the meantime for a transfer to Real Madrid, he will not contribute his best and reserve his body as most healthiest as possible for his new club and a better contract with them. In addition, Mbappe is not a striker, he has never been a striker. That position is not where Mbappe can play and show his best so that position is only a temporary one for Mbappe if his club needs him. |

I hope to see Kane shining for Bayern Munich because they spent too much for him and I guess instead of hiring this player for Tottenham for this house amount of money they good have other options. Being a good forward for Bayter n Munich like Robart Lewandoski is not something easy to do and we don't expect from Harry Kane to have the same performance but still, I hope to see a failure like Sadio Mane when he left Liverpool with a good situation.
Two clubs in the transfer deal already agreed with each other about the transfer price, the only barrier to prevent the transfer is the player Harry Kane. Will he decide to move to Bayern Munich or stay in Tottenham? After some requests made by himself to leave, now the chance is clearly and he must take it to move. I see it will be really weird if Harry Kane suddenly announces that he will stay because he loves Tottenham. It won't happen in my thinking. Bayern Munich will have a lot of attacking players, and under these conditions, it will provide good opportunities for Bayern Munich because the team's strength will increase and the potential for victory is very high. With so many new players bought by Bayern Munich, hopefully they can give good results in the Bundesliga next season, which will start soon.
Bayern Munich have many good attacking players who can support Harry Kane very well. Sane, Musiala, Gnarby will provide many good passes to Harry Kane and with his ability to convert chances to goals, he will have many goals with Bayern Munich. The club is the strongest in Bundesliga so surely Kane will win Bundesliga with them, of course not in all seasons but he will have Bundesliga title with Bayern. In Champions League, Bayern Munich always belongs to list of best candidates and Kane will at least have more appearances in Champions League with Bayern together with better opportunity to win it. |

It seems that Real Madrid is not serious about bringing in Vlahovic in this transfer window because so far no official offer has been made by Real Madrid to Juventus to recruit Vlahovic. Indeed, Vlahovic was linked with Chelsea, but Chelsea finally resigned after Pochettino was not too interested in him.
Pochettino succeeded in Totteham with Harry Kane who has more skills than a classic striker. Vlahovic isn't a striker like Kane and he has some good skills including free kick but he can not play as a play maker like Harry Kane. I am not sure what Pochettino has worked with Chelsea for transfer strategy in this summer but if he uses similar management and favorite on strikers like Harry Kane, I understand why Chelsea no longer have interest in Vlahovic. This season Vlahovic should be able to make an extraordinary contribution to Juventus because if he fails to make a change in his performance at the start of this season it is likely that his main place in the Juventus squad will be easily shifted by other players. In addition, it is believed that Allegri will continue to sell Vlahovic in this transfer window and it is likely that Juventus are still waiting for offers to come from other teams to recruit Vlahovic.
Vlahovic is more like Lewandowski as they are classic striker, classic number 9. I see Vlahovic is better than Lewandowski in free kick and he has good free kick skills like Ibrahimovic. Vlahovic has many seasons in Serie A and if he moves to either La Liga or Premier League, he will have to adapt to a new league which surely has some challenges for him. With not too good finance and competitiveness in Serie A, Vlahovic might move to bigger clubs and bigger leagues in future. |

Bitcointalk has been instrumental in the success story of bitcoin, you cannot tell bitcoin history without mentioning the experiences in this forum like Lazlo buying pizza with bitcoins and so on.
Pizza for bitcoin?. It is a very important successful trade in Bitcoin history and each year, we have a celebration massively everywhere like Bitcoin Pizza day. Bitcointalk still has that relevance till this day, that’s why new crypto exchanges and mixers come to the community and create their ANN thread.
Less big projects and cryptocurrency exchanges join Bitcointalk and have their announcement threads here. The success of a crypto project can easily be determined by the reaction of the community to it.
It is part of a project but it does not decide its success. Community can help in adoption, capital and cash flow but it can not help in technical developments which are not only fundamental but also vital for a project. |

I am in crypto for a few years and i have good knowledge of the crypto markets and their behavior. For the past few years, I am mostly invested in some top crypto project and held it till I get decent profits. You can say i am a holder.
I am very surprising if you only got profit from holding altcoins so far and did not get any loss with them. Not all altcoins even they are top altcoins will help you gaining profit by holding. Many top altcoins lost their prices from all time highs and never recovered to their all time highs, not yet mention that they failed to make new all time highs. More serious, they die with time so holding altcoins can cause losses, serious losses, not only profit. By that I mean you are very good investor if you only got profit from altcoins. Now i want to try something different. I want to try day trading methods to generate a daily income from the spot market.
Is that even possible to earn 50$-100$ every day with spot trading? If yes then what methods you are using and how do you manage your risk?
Trading is not a game for all and most of traders have losses from trading. Do you really think you can belong to minority of traders and will be able to get profit from trading? $50 or $100 profit from spot trading is possible but it depends on your trading capital. If you have a trading capital like $50,000, it is an easy target. If your trading capital is only $100 or $500, it is a very impossible target. |

Arabs have a serious problem, they don't like to hear words like No. for them, everyone has a price, everyone is for sale, they just need to say the price and they are satisfied.
They have abundant money and they can do whatever they want if there is no restrictions from FIFA, UEFA on transfer market as well as transfer windows between leagues in Europe and Middle East. If, for example, FIFA want to make restrictions on leagues in Middle East, they will have to do the same with leagues from other geographical areas like MLS in the USA. It looks to be very serious regulation which will not be approved to enforce in near future. Meanwhile, we will continue to see the chaos originated from Saudi Arabia and maybe some leagues in Middle East. but mbappe is a young, rich and popular player. he wants to conquer things that ronaldo, messi already conquered and he knows very well that being at psg he won't be able to have anything, that's why leaving psg is the best decision he needs to make. Ligue 1 is not very competitive, in my opinion I don't see it as a competitive league, PSG doesn't have a good squad and isn't strong enough to win the European Champions League
Mbappe is a very interesting case by his current contract with PSG and likely his pre-deal with Real Madrid. I see no harm on Mbappe if he accepts an offer from Saudi and move to the league in just one season as a transitional time before moving to La Liga and Real Madrid. by not putting mbappe to play, psg will also be losing a lot, first of all, psg will be paying salary to mbappe, that is, psg will pay salary every month to a guy who will not be playing and will be sitting watching the team lose games and win nothing; The second is that I've even said before, and that without Mbappe in attack, PSG will lose in many games and with that they will risk losing Ligue 1 and the Champions League. , soon they would also lose the money, because in each phase that a team manages to pass in the European champions league the team earns more money, this will be a loss for psg and not for mbappe
If PSG go serious to treat Mbappe with internal punishments, it will be not harmful but good for them in the long run. First, it will be their serious response against the stubborn and selfish player. Second, it will help them to make a record in their management against star players and in future, they will be able to refer to this case as a red warning for any star players who want to repeat what Mbappe has been doing. |

I don't even think napoli gonna let osimhen leaves although al hilal gonna send 200m bid for osimhen. Napoli was a free debt club. It seems like that money is not the main achievement by napoli. Al hilal needs to find another target.
If Al Hilal actually make that bid, Napoli will not keep Osimhen as they will take advantage of it to sell the player and get profit. They bought the season ago with about $70M transfer from Lille so selling him now at $200M is a very good deal for them. Osimhen would not have a more lucrative price than Mbappe who got an offer about $300M from Saudi weeks ago. This club has been failed to recruit the popular european player. Al hilal has sent bid for messi, mbappe and then osimhen but these efforts are already wasted as none of those players are interested in joining al hilal.
Al Hilal see challenge from Al Nassr and they know that if they won't improve their squad, they will be beaten by Al Nassr in a new season. However, they are not the only club in Saudi Arabia are hunting star players from Europe so the competitiveness on transfer market is high. I believe there will be a great player to join in al hilal very soon. Osimhen or even kvarat already got so many attentions from the various teams but napoli is still trying so hard to keep both of players. will al hilal make a higher offer than it?
Kravatskhelia receives less interests from big clubs and from Saudi than Osimhen because he only had one good seasons in Serie A. Risk of failure with Kravatskhelia is bigger than with Osimhen who already had some good seasons in Ligue 1 and Serie A. |

Jordan Henderson, Fermino and Fabinho are former Liverpool retainers who have moved to the Saudi Pro League this summer, but currently Mohamed Salah, who is being courted to move to Al Ittihad, has reportedly refused to follow in the footsteps of his three colleagues. Salah is still under contract until June 2025 with Liverpool, and I think Salah will commit to staying until the end of his contract at Anfield.
I don't remember breaking price of Mohamed Salah contract with Liverpool. Saudi Professional League clubs don't have too many financial problems to satisfy financial demands from Liverpool or Mohamed Salah. They are simply too rich and money is not their problems whatsoever. Jurgen Klopp has reacted to the dominance of clubs from the SPL in the transfer market this summer, they have different transfer times than leagues in European countries. Klopp feels this is unfair and needs to be reviewed regarding the transfer window deadline.
Klopp knows that he can not prohibit clubs from SPL to buy players in Liverpool, Premier League or Europe. The player transfer market is a free one and clubs from SPL have similar rights as all clubs to bid and buy star players from Europe. Is it fair to prohibit SPL clubs on the player market because he can spend too big money? We must see how big clubs in Europe can buy players from Asia and how Asian clubs think about European clubs as well as how they feel need to prohibit European clubs to touch Asian players. |

“I think the SEC, if it’s going to approve a Bitcoin ETF, will approve more than one at once,” said Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Investment Management, to Bloomberg on Monday. Wood’s own Ark21 Shares ETF is technically first in line for potential approval on August 13, though most analysts expect the SEC to postpone this approval date.[/i]
SEC did not approve any Bitcoin Spot ETF because they did not want to do it or they had to reject approvals with pressure from Democrat party and White House. I agree with Cathie Wood that when SEC approves a first Bitcoin Spot ETF, it will open a new gate, put a case as reference to approve more Bitcoin Spot ETF applications later. The first is always the most expected and most hardest application to be approved. Later applications and approvals after the first successful application will be more easily. Like a first Bitcoin exchange, a first Bitcoin Futures ETF ... already helped Bitcoin market and adoption a lot. |

There is no denying the excitement around Napoli new coach but Spalletti outstanding results from the previous campaign raise some concerns. The pressure on Rudi Garcia is obvious but if Napoli is able to maintain their great play praise will undoubtedly come.
Napoli and their President will have to learn a hard lesson that they will not be able to win Scudetto too often. They are not such a club in Italy like Juventus, AC Milan or Inter Milan. They don't have habit to create such strong domination in the league and they are more similar to AS Roma, Lazio that can sparsely win Scudetto after a few or many years. Prediction is a hard business as evidenced by the unexpected turns brought on by losing important player like Koulibally and Dries Merten in the past. Even though the possibility of an even better coach exists it is still a remote possibility. For Napoli devoted supporters sustained success especially in elite tournaments like the UCL spells joy. A young but capable alternative for defensive reinforcement is added to Napoli roster with the signing of talented defender Natan Bernardo de Souza.
They suddenly succeeded after selling Koulibaly, Mertens and Insigne but no guarantee that they can repeat that success after selling Kim Min-Jae and maybe Osimhen, Kravatskhelia too. Such surprising successful season like the past one does not easily happen and Napoli must be realistic about their chance to protect their Scudetto. Especially if they sell either Osimhen or Kravatskhelia or both in rest of this summer transfer. |

It has long been obvious that Tottenham is not prepared to let Harry Kane leave. How come I said that? Because they require a lot of money and a lot of clubs are looking for Harry Kane, they shouldn't give him to another club just yet. They don't want him to leave, and you can see that Bayern Munich are still looking for him, which is what motivates them to want such a large sum of money. But even if Harry Kane wants to leave Tottenham, I think his contract with them hasn't yet expired, therefore I think Harry Kane will continue to stay with them till it expires.
Harry Kane is too important for Tottenham and he is their home-grown player. Levy firstly does not want to lose Kane and secondly he does not intend to spend big money to buy players as replacements for Harry Kane. It's not easy for Tottenham to find a good player and replace Harry Kane successfully and it together with a habit to sell star players at lucrative transfer prices, Levy likely builds a solid cage to keep Kane in the club. To strengthen the team and elevate the clubs so they can win trophies, Tottenham has resisted recruiting more new players to join Harry Kane. I think Harry Kane wants to leave there because of the trophies they have yet to win.
Strengthen the team and win titles, it is Levy's promise to Harry Kane when he convinced the player to expand the contract but after a few seasons, we already saw that it has yet been touched by Tottenham. Harry Kane has enough loyalty and love for the club but his career is counting down and he is no longer treated respectfully by Levy with last two times his contract is coming to expire. |

Why did you claim that Arsenal could not compete with Manchester City? We still anticipate seeing Arsenal defeat Manchester City since it is obvious that they have improved this season, and the season has only just begin.
Arsenal competed very strongly with Manchester City in the last season in Premier League and they only failed against Manchester City during very last weeks of past season. If anyone says Arsenal are not competitive enough to fight against Manchester City, based on their performance in the last season, I really disagree with that opinion. I know that some people would disagree with my assertion, but I still don't think Manchester City will follow the same course as they did in the previous season. The season has only begin, yet Arsenal has already improved their performance. I think they will defeat any team that stands in their way. Before we decide who will go, let's wait and observe how the clubs play with one another.
Arsenal are improving very quickly latest seasons but will it be enough for them to beat Manchester City in a new season? We will need to see at least half of a new season but even so, it can not help us to know the Premier League champions till the season ending. Like the past season, they lost the title even they led at the first position in most weeks of the season but only about last one month and a half, they lost all to Manchester City. |

- Bitcoin gets accepted everywhere, every government legalizes it, all mining is centralized, everyone must register every address with the local IRS, you're not allowed to send money outside legal addresses and miners are refusing those, every single transfer is taxed, the government can decide at any point to seize your coins and can do that with ease. BUT the value will go up 1000x times to 30 big ones!
Register addresses is like KYC. How do governments control what addresses you own. One person can own many addresses with non custodial wallets and governments can only know what is your address if you KYC on centralized exchange. They only give you one deposit address to use and you have to KYC on their exchange so it can be leaked to governments. With non custodial wallets, it is impossible except if governments prohibit all non custodial wallet softwares. But how will they succeed to do that? I believe they won't. - Bitcoin is not legal tender, but the genie makes it so that the government has no way and no intention of making any move against it, nobody is banning you from owning, nobody is taxing you, nobody cares about your KYC, AML, taxes, profit, any legal action against anything that involves Bitcoin is impossible and illegal, any seizure impossible as it would break the law, you're as free as one can be. But the price stays forever at $30,000.
If things go well like this, how will price not go up? Your two scenarios are purely non sense and unlogical. The first one is bad and price goes up 1000x times while the second scenario is good and price stuck. Impossible. |

yups, I think LN must be implemented in all casinos online as this is also the cheapest way to deposit specially when there are congestion and surely will come next year again.
Accepting Lightning Network for deposits and withdrawals will be cool for users but you must know that as a big business, they must consider more about security, risk and safety of their company treasury (wallet) and funds of their customers. Lightning Network is less secure than Bitcoin network and risk of hack on Lightning Network is bigger. It is impossible to attack Bitcoin network and revert transactions after it has like 3 confirmations. It is main reason why adoption of Lightning Network in gambling industry has yet been big enough. Quick confirmations mean big risk of quick exploitation that is a biggest fear of any company. |

As long as the store or merchant accept Bitcoin, then you can pay everything in there using Bitcoin. The fee you need to pay and need a time to wait for confirmation is depend on you, whether you comfortable or not. I think it's better if you use fiat or debit/credit card when you're want to pay in physical store and use Bitcoin in online marketplace because it should be cheaper than use mobile banking or digital fiat.
With Bitcoin on-chain transactions, you will need to have confirmations from miners to make your payment valid. Usually merchants will ask your payment (your on chain transactions) to have from one to three confirmations. Considering the average block time of Bitcoin is 10 minutes. 1 to 3 confirmations will be about 10 minutes to a half of hour or even longer if you make that transaction with very low fee rate. It is more usable if you buy something online and use Bitcoin for payment but it is impractical if you want to do it offline, directly at stores. You will have to wait a little time for confirmations to complete your buying and it is inconvenience. It is not suggested to use Bitcoin if you need to make a very tiny quick payment since you risk incurring fees that are greater than the cost of the item you are purchasing.
For tiny valued transactions, you will have alternative for Bitcoin on-chain transactions, off-chain transactions with Bitcoin Lightning Network but you will have less choices, less adoption for Lightning Network. |

Taking a loan for a risky and volatile market is a dangerous business or investment idea as no one can predict the next swing and direction of the market
People take risk even high risk because base on their predictions, the market will go up and give them profit so risk is worthy to take. that is why we are advised to use our spare cash or money we can afford to lose but a loan is not a money you can afford to lose neither is it a spare cash.
That is true. Using your own money and more important spare cash is safer than borrowing money. It does not mean you will get profit from the market because it depends on other factors but at least, you won't have pressure like borrowing money. Borrowing money has more pressure because you will have to always think of loan interest repayment, collateral liquidation, market volatility and risk of losing money by the market and the loan position. |

Arsenal are a tough competitor in the Premier League next season and I admit that. But anyway I'm not going to lie about wanting that Manchester City will still remain the favorites in the Premier League next season. Arsenal can certainly threaten at any time, but I hope Manchester City doesn't make too many mistakes in their quest to win 4 titles in 4 consecutive seasons.
Arsenal got some good results from summer pre-season matches that are good signals of their improvements and readiness to start a new season with more ambitious targets. To win titles, they will have to beat many competitors, not only Manchester City. Other big clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle United will not let Premier League race becomes a dual race between Arsenal and Manchester City. Simply because Manchester City won a treble title last season, will it make them repeat the same by next season by making it 4 titles instead to prove their supremacy over all the league match they are involved in? Manchester City is undoubtedly a talented football team, but we shouldn't assume that just because they shocked the world by winning a treble trophy, all the league titles are now theirs. Has Manchester United, who won the treble trophies years ago, done it again? Having said that, I don't believe Manchester City will have another season as successful as the previous one in terms of winning a treble trophy in a season.
If since 1999 season, only one more club can be a treble winner after Manchester United, it is very impossible for Manchester City to repeat it in a coming season. They can either win Premier League or Champions League or FA Cup but winning treble titles again is very unrealistic. Especially if we know a challenging fact that in history of Champions League, only Real Madrid successfully protected their Champions League titles and they did it two times. Other clubs failed to defend their titles and Manchester City will be a second club can do it if they win Champions League in a new season. |

Ronaldo is a key player for Al Nassr, yes of course Al Nassr still dependent him besides being the strongest in team he is also a good striker. But actually there is still Talisca in that team, somehow he couldn't score in match against Zamalek.
Indeed Mane should be able to strengthen game if he can give many assists to Ronaldo, but this is still new for Sadio Mane, after all he still doesn't have chemistry with Ronaldo. I mean Mane has never played in a team with Ronaldo, if I'm not mistaken.
Cristiano is already an old player but he still has very strong body and is very skillful so if his team mates can support him, the coach uses him appropriately, Cristiano will be able to score goals for Al Nassr. It's certainly that he is no longer a player who can score goals in all matches and won't be able to bring Al Nassr to winnings by his goals in most of matches. If it is simply about contribution for the club, he is useful for Al Nassr. Sadio Mane at Liverpool was crazy because many praised him when he moved to Bayern Munich he failed in his first season and no season was maintained by Bayern Munich so he was sold at a fairly high value.
Liverpool is a club that brought Sadio Mane to a new level and he got biggest achievements in his club career with Liverpool. Since his departure from Liverpool to Bayern Munich and now left Europe to join Al Nassr in Saudi Professional League, it is impossible for Mane to return to Europe and achieve bigger success in future. Now that Sadio Mane is at Al Nassr many think he will score goals but it's not a sure thing or a top scorer because the competition in the Saudi Professional League is now getting tougher with Benzema also in this league, but I would like to see the competition become even more competitive, but at least a duet between Ronaldo and Sadio Mane would be more impressive.
He will be able to score goals for them but I believe Al Nassr expect more tactical contributions, key passes from Sadio Mane than goals from him. They already have Talisca and Cristiano who are goal machines for them in the last two seasons. |

Although Neymar is often injured but still, Neymar has a total of goals that are still fairly good when considered with the opportunity for Neymar to play in between his injuries. Therefore, if Neymar is not injured, of course, Neymar will be even better and maybe PSG will also have a great chance in the Champion League too. But yes, unfortunately Neymar is often injured which results in PSG getting inconsistent results throughout the season.
Neymar usually gets injuries before important matches for PSG and his national team Brazil. It is a little it weird and looks like challenge for his destiny and career and we don't know the fact but what has been happening with Neymar is very painful for him. PSG as a club that pay very big money for transfer and salary to the player, actually expect to get more contribution from Neymar and don't want to see his injuries before important matches that can decide they will go far and win title in Champions League. In my view Neymar's style of play must be changed a little and the coach must also instruct him to play safe because after all he often shows individual skills on the field which causes opposing players to get emotional, so hard tackles occur and can bring Neymar to injury in the match.
Neymar did try to reduce his dribble a lot after getting some serious injuries but we saw sometimes he unfortunately got injuries from very unwanted situations. It seems his ankles are no longer strong enough to prevent injuries for him and sometimes his own touches to the ground caused his injuries that not actually contributed by strong tackles from opponent defenders. |

Joao Felix couldn't do anything when he was returned by Chelsea, in fact his arrival was not well received by Atletico Madrid so that he will be a loan player again at another club next season. In fact, Joao Felix's fate was not so fortunate that for 2 consecutive seasons he had to be at a club whose status was not fixed, only on loan. I know Joao Felix is doing his best but his current condition and high wages make it difficult for other clubs to borrow or make him a permanent player.
He can not blame it on the Atletico Madrid as he is responsible for his performance and contributions for the club in the last few years. A Madrid did expected too much on Joao Felix by spending big money to buy him but so far, he has brought a lot of disappointment to A Madrid. The loan to Chelsea since the last winter did not help Felix to revive his career and again he can not blame it on Chelsea. With his performance in recent seasons, it's hard to expect that he will suddenly play outstandingly in a new season. A Madrid successfully grew up many attacking players in the last twenty years like Diego Forlan, Kun Aguero, Diego Costa, Radamel Falcao and used some old players very well like David Villa and Luiz Suarez. How they failed with Joao Felix after a big transfer for him is a myth. |
