It was surprising that Atletico Madrid could be beaten by Mallorca, even though they were unable to at least create a good chance to score. Atletico Madrid missed the chance to return to 2nd place in the standings after this defeat.
Previously I predicted that they would win easily, but that didn't happen. And I lost some to it, what a disappointment.
this was an unexpected result, Atletico should have won easily but surprisingly Vedat Muriqi's 68th minute penalty sealed victory for Mallorca, this is a very meaningful win for Mallorca as they are struggling to stay away from the relegation zone.

It seems that Atletico's defeat is inseparable from their results and poor game on the UCL stage, if they do not immediately improve and take advantage of every game remaining this season it is not impossible for them to get out of the top 4 position in the final standings because Real Betis who are in 5th position in the standings are only 1 behind. only points from Atletico Madrid.
Mallorca needed the win more to stay above relegation by 1 point. Athletico Madrid needs to make improvement as their attack is still having flaws and they have a strong UCL match to salvage within the week else the will be kicked out of the champions league by mancity who is having a 1 goal advantage already.  They might wake up after losing out from UCL completely to face their domestic league

Maybe only Neymar and Mbappe are in the spotlight because they made a hat-trick simultaneously, but there is one more hat-trick in the form of assists and that is Messi. But it's a shame, a performance like this didn't happen at UCL yesterday because if they could do this at UCL then of course it would be great. So yes, this big win basically doesn't affect anything for their position in the standings because PSG will definitely win the title this season. Also, the list of Ligue 1 top scorers and assists has certainly been achieved by Mbappe, no other player has come close to obtaining Mbappe's goals and assists so far.
Mbappé, Neymar and Lionel Messi all three of them are capable of lifting the team. They did it, however against Clermont though we demand it they execute the same performance at UCL. Too bad MNM started working together when they knockout from UCL. Messi's playmaking is so fire, he did assist. However, summing up the statistics Mbappe remain the first position, and most limelight player.
The three stars are beginning to see the need for team work. This was lacking in their game at the round of 16 in the champions league against Madrid. I won't say their team work coming in late but it's unfortunate the had to leave the champions league because they choosed a selfish path at when  they needed team work the most. i am glad they are seeing the need play as a team now

Manchester United has a lot to work on and we can't say that it's to blame for a series of poor results.
To be able to finish in the top 4 and get a UCL ticket, of course Manchester United doesn't have the slightest hope, because there are Arsenal and Tottenham fighting over it, and both teams are more worthy than Manchester United.
Manchester United's hope of being able to get a UCL ticket next season is gone, besides that I also highlight the performance of Arsenal which in the last 2 matches have continued to lose, if it continues like this then their position will be shifted by West Ham.
United should strive not to lose Europa ticket as well else the will have to result in Europa conference league. Because i see the likes of wolves, Leicester city , crystal palace and brighton struggle the seventh position with united and it will be so disappointing having united miss Europa ticket as well with all the star players in the team

Arsenal 1 - 1 Brighton & Hove Albion

what's going on with the Arsenal? i know the game is not over yet but this way the arsenal is becoming machester united 2.0, this drop in performance that the arsenal is having is not normal, they lost in the last game, today they were losing, honestly i already regret it have bet on them

Southampton 0 - 4 Chelsea

Chelsea is taking revenge, today all good players are playing very well, they have already scored 4 goals and the game still has 45 minutes to be played, will we see 6 or 8 goals in this game?  Grin
Arsenal still lost 0-1 goals created by G.Martinelli are invalid and have been disallowed, now the first half is over and Arsenal are 1 goal behind. it is a very dangerous situation for them if they fail to get up and win the game because their competition with Tottenham is very fierce and if Arsenal continue to fail to get full points then there is no hope for them to finish in the top 4 of the final standings.
Lets watch to see Arsenal come back in the second half so far the have more possession of the ball all the need is co-ordination and more focus. Chelsea is taking revenge on their last two losses both in the local league and champions league. it is 0-5 for chelsea already what a heavy revenge on southampthon

This is an old and tired argument. Fiat has for many years before Bitcoin been a medium for illegal transaction and money laundering and the most popular one at that. Scammers would go after anything of value, from gold to gift cards, this does not mean they fund illegal activities.
About the privacy argument; While Bitcoin is pseudo anonymous, it is very transparent and traceable, so it's possible to trace the trail of a transaction. More traceable than physical cash.

No debate is old as long as it hasn't  solved the issue on ground.  It  only becomes old when there is a  solution. I agree to the fact that  Scammers actually  go for anything  of value but with decentralization  it will  be easy pizzy entry because  every one is a costodian of their wallet.  The ease to tracing bitcoin  transaction  is double of what it  will take to track a centralized  transaction.  Privacy  is good but for a mutured society

Do you think the majority of athletes not only from UFC will be happy to accept their bonus by Bitcoin?
Bitcoin bonus is a no turn down by any athlete.  Since it's  only bonuses that get paid in bitcoin  it will definitely  mean the earn their major pay in fiat so the volatility might not be much of a concern except for those who don't have good knowledge  about crypto currency and it's  price fluctuations.  But for athletes  with knowledge  about  bitcoin the will surely prefer their bonuses in bitcoin
1407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: April 08, 2022, 03:53:42 PM
I think Rangnick is not able to control the Manchester United dressing room so players don't trust each other and many players are concerned with their own ego. I think Rangnick should be able to make all Manchester United players believe in Rangnick's tactics so that players are not selfish. Manchester United players are no less great than Arsenal and Chelsea, maybe one reason why Manchester United's performance is not good is that there is no mutual trust between players and coaches.
Do you think Manchester United are underperforming this season, is it only this season? Because I think Manchester United is no longer shining or has not been stable all season and been out of that title race track since Alex Ferguson left Manchester United and not just for this season. So with a performance like this, I think it has become commonplace for Manchester United because in the previous seasons they were only struggling in the same rank, not including the team to be title candidates.
For this season and beyond I am not sure that Manchester United will come back with their ideal form. It's not the time anymore when players are not upgraded to the current conditions. there must be a complete overhaul like what Barcelona did for example. indeed that is what must happen, it's just that there is no suitable coach who can provide a big breakthrough for the Red Devils.
At first I was thinking  Michael Carrick was going  to coach united because  the few games he coached was far better than the general  performance  of united this season.  Rangnick might have good strategy  but with the current  situation  on ground at old Trafford  he needs to build trust in his players and also instill the spirit of team work. Rangnick should also get ready to let go of some players because  at this point  some have already  given up on his tactics and so he needs to start building  back from the scratch
1408  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Is the society matured enough to handle privacy? on: April 08, 2022, 03:41:37 PM
Privacy is good and bad at the same time.  And what becomes of it is dependent  on who handles it and how the handle it.  So far many wants to have bitcoin  ditch  out  fiat not for the intent of  having total control of their funds but for the sake of funding illegal activities  online without  any point of trace,  regulations,  monitoring  or prevention.

I am not disputing  the fact many still have genuine  reason for going private which include bank frustration and restrictions,  withdrawal  limits and declaration  of assets and investment as claim for legal possession  of a certain  amount  of fiat in a local bank.

But with the insecurity  and economic  crisis hitting the world from all angle is it still safe to agitate for a complete  decentralized  society  ditching  the fiat for bitcoin.  I only see both existing  together  with more preference on decentralization  but my concern  is if man is matured enough to handle the innovation or are you also seeing the abuse  of privacy coming along with it
1409  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will "hyperbitcoinization" become a reality? on: April 08, 2022, 03:25:47 PM
If you are considering  hyperbitcoinization you should  also be looking  at a lawless  society.  Bitcoin  is too private  to exist alone and will inspire lots of illegal fundings and money laundry  activities.  It will only be good if both fiat and bitcoin  exist at least there will be a measure to monitor  an aspect of the financial  system.  To me it will be too dangerous  to give man a complete privacy.  Man is not matured enough  to handle it.

In wars like this there will certainly come a point  where personal interest will surpass the collective aim of the country.  Following  the closeness of this two countries it won't  be surprising  to find Russian soldiers whose origin is of Ukraine and will want to secure the lives of their loved ones.

Gradually Putin is losing his safety because despite  how much he puts in place to monitor his generals he will not have an accurate  statistics of Ukrainian intels working  against  him in the Russian military
1411  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Few Tips I learnt from trading that blew my account. on: April 07, 2022, 05:49:31 PM
These are few challenges faced when I newly got into trading, which I think I should share so people who are new traders should know.

[1].Don't Chase the market:
There is always a next opportunity in the market,
If you miss this opportunity wait for next one.
There are always new opportunities everytime in the market. Patience for a new signal is always the best for successful trades.
Quote
[2]. Always be patient with your trading set ups:
 Sometime it takes you up to a week or more for a trading set ups to get complete before executing a trade.
Secondly, sometimes it's good to wait for your stop lose and take profits to get triggered and don't close them yourself out of fear.
If the analysis is right hold on to your trades. Most times retracement can be very deceptive. But this is only applicable to trading account with good funds not a $100 account
Quote
[3].Don't predict the market ,react to current market situation.
This is what that cost me blew a lot of my trading capital. Always wait for trend direction and follow the trend , As they say... trend is your friend until it's finished.
We don't predict the market we analyze. And for analysis it takes more than one confirmation to establish a trade decision.
Quote
[4].Don't outsmart the market :
market does whatever thing it wants to do, so don't be too smart wait for confirmation.
Knowing when to use a particular trading type will best suit this. Different market condition have different trading pattern. Knowing which to use at every point in time saves your trade

Quote


[5]. Don't be greedy:The master of it all.
Greediness can reap you off all your profits already gained from the market when you're trying to gain it all. Be comtempted with the profit you've got and have plans for profits taking.
This is one the biggest challenge I faced during my early time of trading and even now but it's reduced and controled.
Greed is the key killer of good strategies. Not even the best trading technique survive a greedy trader.

Of the 8 remaining teams, Liverpool is one of the favorites to qualify from this quarter-final. They only need to get a draw in the second leg later, and this is an easy job for them especially they will play the match in front of their own supporters. I even predict they will win again for the second leg later. They are the highest team to qualify from the other teams.
What about Real Madrid?
Liverpool's easy win in the 1st leg over Benfica wasn't too surprising, but Real Madrid were able to punish Chelsea in front of their own fans with Karim Benzema's 3 goals which was a surprise. What comes to our minds when Real Madrid will face Chelsea at the Santiago Bernabeu in the second leg?

Liverpool and Real Maldrid are on the same boat at the moment. All the two need to qualify for the Semi finals is a draw or a single goal to win. When Chelsea eventually visits Santiago Bernabeu it will be a completion of what Benzema began at Standford bridge. For Benfica visiting Anfield it will  be difficult to see Benfica turn the game around in the second leg

Other consequences from the sanctions will be inflation in local production as the will not have direct contact with the international market and will result in producing more than the can consume as the price of oil keeps inflating as well as the supply-chain link.

Now the EU has joined force with the US to serve Russians  sanction we will be more of international restrictions of Russians moving across this nations
1414  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if Bitcoin Fails ? on: April 07, 2022, 01:53:20 PM
This will be a big win for the government and privacy will be forever lost. Bitcoin is a big threat to the government and if  this happens it will bring a big relief to their few years of trying to gain back their complete centralization and censorship. But I'm glad it takes a collective effort to make the whole system work or crash so therefore Bitcoin is here to stay
1415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Round of 16! on: April 07, 2022, 01:48:04 PM

Even though Villarreal got off to a good start against Bayern, they managed to score a goal in the 8th minute and that took Bayern by surprise.
Unfortunately Villarreal could not score again until the match ended, even though Villarreal had quite a few chances. If only Villarreal could score
two more goals, maybe in the second leg Villarreal could play with more confidence. But because Villarreal only won by one goal difference,
it does not guarantee Villarreal will make it through easily to the next round. Because with the experience and quality that Bayern players have,
Bayern should have the opportunity to beat Villarreal in the second leg by a larger goal difference.

We still remember when Salzburg drew with Bayern Munich in the first leg then in the 2nd leg Munich beat Salzburg with big score 7-1
This moment could be repeated in the 2nd leg between Munich vs Villarreal even Barcelona couldn't score at the Allianz Arena
If you compare it based on experience and ability, Munich is certainly more favourite but Villarreal also had a chance through luck, who knows.
What if Villarreal decides to play defensive in the second leg. Although we know how aggressive Bayern attack could be. All Villarreal needs at the moment is to reenforce ahead of the second leg. If they can't score more goals they should just hold the game down to a draw and qualify for the Semi finals
1416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Round of 16! on: April 06, 2022, 06:28:34 PM
Manchester City - Atletico Madrid game was boring from the start to the end. But after Manchester City scored the goal, at least we saw Atletico Madrid trying to score the equalizer. They failed maybe but this is still not the end for them either. I think that Manchester City shouldn't be so comfortable already now. It was only a 1-0 win for them and they will need to perform extra well in Wanda Metropolitano to keep their advantage. Atletico Madrid play way better in their home games and they would make difficulties for Manchester City there I think.
Oblak made the day for Athletico Madrid. Athletico was lucky not have conceded more than a single goal atleast this will make their chances of coming back In the leg 2 at Wanda Metropolitano. Athletico will not want to lose to city at home too.  My only disappointment with Athletico in the first leg is that they had no single attempt which made the game so boring and less competitive
1417  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predicts Bitcoin price by 2025 on: April 06, 2022, 06:00:02 PM
Limited supply is the only criteria for Bitcoin price to skyrocket and by 2024 there will be another halving which will  reduce the general supply and increase the demand. On this base Bitcoin price might see a massive price boost.

Bitcoin price might go above $100k following the recent bull run in 2021 after the last halving. Bitcoin price don't just happen with mere speculation it's limited supply that makes what prices becomes. $200k can actually be achieved come 2025

1418  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Proposals for global shutdown of crypto on: April 06, 2022, 05:35:00 PM
The goal would be to end the ecoonomic destruction of bitcoin / crypto while causing the least losses possible to public.

Ideas on how to shut this endless crashing garbage down safely?
Losses exist in the mind that of the greedy.  Bitcoin has no economic destruction. So far the technology  never promised  anyone wealth  or stability what we all know about bitcoin is the privacy and secure peer to peer transaction offers.  

Price fluctuations is a function  of demand and supply and since bitcoin  lacks any reserve  nor centralized back up  all investors determine what the price become through holding, buying and selling. Its safer in the hands of bitcoin than in the hands of a manipulated fiat system
1419  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do your own research on: April 06, 2022, 05:16:09 PM
Doing  your own research  is completely different from seeking for financial advice.  To establish a good research  you can correlate information gotten from youTubers or any financial site to other  source of financial advisers. 

A good investor don't  depend on one source of information.  To make a concrete proof a project  is worthy  of your token you have to seek different content from different sources.  In the speculation  of two or more advisers there must always be an iota of truth

Paid contents  could still have some valid information so trying  to merge two content can establish  a valid investment  hypothesis.  Since you can't  develop  a research  from thinking  you either read up on a project or watch investors make speculations.

I believe in the adage catch them young. Although we don't no what technology will be in the next era. But in the main time while Bitcoin technology is still in high relevance teaching your kids early will  give them a hint on what to choose when the come of age to make decisions for themselves

Definitely the choice of what your kids will prefer in their time is up to them but making them understand the importance of Bitcoin and it's privacy will give them an edge to making the right choice
