The Chelsea - Real Madrid draw is really hard to make a prediction I think. Real Madrid's being solid shouldn't misguide people about this. I would like to remind everyone who think in that way that Chelsea won the title the last time even though there were much better performing teams then. It is all about playing smart here. You can't win every time you play dominantly. And I guess the Ajax and Juventus examples must be enough for what I'm trying to say. Real Madrid should watch out for a big threat this time not to be eliminated by Chelsea two times in a row.
True , despite chelsea struggling financially and due the politics heated as of impact abramovich strong relationship with putin andd the non sense uk sanctions , they managed to keep up the good performance , one more time beat real madrid to lift the champions league title back to back and they could show to the world how football should be done away from politics.

I bet real madrid wont underestimated chelsea as well as the last time the two meet , chelsea knocked real madrid out.

I think neither Mohamed Salah nor Liverpool will be eager to break their bond this summer. I know that there is still no contract extension between them but I haven't any doubt that this will happen later. Mohamed Salah is happy to play at Liverpool and he would like to play for them more years. And Liverpool have no other choice rather than being contented with his performance of course. There is no player who has made as big contribution as Mohamed Salah's so far. He is the most important player for Liverpool currently.
Yupp as there is no interesting offer yet both for liverpool and salah himself, the best choice so far is by keeping salah at liverpool till there is a win win offer come in.
He could have his peak peformance for like 2 or three more years , he is not young anymore.

So yeah any club that interested in him would also calculated salah potential cobtributional time span.

It was already very difficult for Galatasaray to be victorious from this match. But after they scored the first goal, I believed, I thought they could beat Barcelona. However, after conceding the first goal, there were big problems in Galatasaray's offensive.
While they were trying to score with the counterattack, they started to attack normally and there were big gaps in the defense. Barcelona started to play more comfortably and as a result scored the second goal. Actually, Galatasaray also had good positions, but they couldn't score
It's not the good galatasaray i believe , it's just the bad barcelona.

They conceded first and make barcelona a bit nervous. Luckily the 19 years old pedro gozalez and aubameyang come to the rescue.
Well played barcelona , xavi seems has found his best 11 , he could recover the great barcelona sooner if they win this europa league.
1284  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bear vs Bull : The Beauty Of Cryptocurrency on: March 16, 2022, 11:51:02 PM
Bull and Bear markets are only important for speculators. Long-term investors are just quietly watching these battles in which the crowd loses money by constantly risking their money.

Over time, any experienced crypto user should learn to sell in a bull market and buy in a bear market. Many do exactly the opposite, dumping their holdings during major sell-offs and buying when the price is already high.
This is why most people lose because they always misinterpret even this basic rule when trading. They always panic when bear season comes and resort into selling off, that ends up losing them more. While this bear season is a good opportunity to buy and invest more, instead it becomes a threat for them. They start buying when the price is high, when in fact its certainly a good time to sell for profits. Many people did not realize that both bulls and bears are giving us equal opportunities to make profits.
Well .. those people in panic selling are the one who stake the money that they cannot afford to lose , that is why.
That ' in a bull you gain dollars & in a bear you gain bitcoin ' will only work for those who had more spare money , people like us often get trapped and impatient to selling off.

The first rule that most people break in trading , using the money that is free to use , not borrowed nor buying on margin. U'll see the difference.

Juventus lost 3-0 against a team who did nothing for 80 minutes.

This is football, whatever.

As I said Juventus needs to change the whole midfield to be a decent team.
And it's happened away from sevilla lol.

What a misery , 3 goals out of 3 on target. They did it effectively , i'm not sure what was the odds for the villareal handicap -2.5 ....
Must be something decent like over 10 or 20.
The quarterfinal now have 2 underdogs with bayern munich , manchester city and real madrid leading the race!

Crystal Palace 0 - 0 City

 Grin

unbelievable that crystal palace managed to prevent City from scoring and the game ended in a draw.

Ball possession:

City = 74%

Crystal Palace = 26%

It's really very lucky that Crystal Palace didn't concede a goal and stop City, with that, it's enough for Liverpool to win for us to be very close to reaching City
Man City had just 4 shorts on target. Which is considerably low for the amount of possession they had. On the whole 18 shot attempted but only 4 on target. Which tells you the story on why they couldnt score. Just not enough clinical shots on target.
Told ya that manchester city will struggling.
With this goalles bad result , crystal palace are superior this season for manchester city , they won 0-2 at etihad and now 0-0 with pretty similar situation.

Moreover ..  it's the greatest time for liverpool to make a manuver, pushing themselves to get closer to the first position to only 1 point gap!

No, I am a part-time trader, and have no reason to go for full-time trading unless my trading account statement is incredibly good. There is no need to risk your daily job and go for "easy money" that is promised by scam trading signal groups. It is a win-win situation for scam altcoin shillers so they can scam you in 2 different ways. Don't fall to such traps and lose your job. Full-time trading is a profession and only pro traders know when it is time to leave the paycheck cycle.
Well .. new comer won't see such things coming though.

They would only see it as a quick way to make money and instead doing that , they are gambling away the money they have in their daily trading activity.
The full-time trading fail and people will start blame everything for their own incompetence , i often laugh at such cases happened around my place, hillarious .

I'm also one of the people who really appreciate Galatasaray's solid resistance against Barcelona in the first leg of the matchup. But I think that this is still going to be end of the road for Galatasaray in this round. Barcelona are having a great time period nowadays. Maybe their main goal is to achieve the best success they can in the La Liga now. But I don't think that they will give up on the Europa League too. They wouldn't say no to achieving one title at least in this season. So I believe they will eliminate Galatasaray here first.
Galatasaray will have to play in turkey superlig classic match against besiktas in few minutes left while barcelona have rested since yesterday, a bit advantage for barcelona especially if you look at how galatasaray struggling in the domestic league trying to survive from relegation ironically.

It's a sure winning for barcelona , everyone might go allin for barcelona moneyline this thursday.
1289  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why is the price of BTC dropping? on: March 14, 2022, 03:54:16 PM
Seeming decline in the price of Bitcoin is becoming a cause for alarm, because investors and intending ones will be skeptical, preferring to wait to see if there will be a balance.
 Although, the values of risky assets like the BTC tend to take a downward slope in the wake of the Federal Reserve making policy changes to more fiscally conservative. Also, measures enacted by the federal that are designed to control inflation have had a negative impact on the price of BTC.
 More so, as Bitcoin matures and becomes more accepted and adopted, the price is increasingly correlated with the prices of traditional assets like stocks.
Though the rate at which the price of BTC is dropping, financial analyst and professional, Ric Edelman has urged investors to stay calm and not be in a hurry to sell of their BTC, assuring that there is a favorable look on the Bitcoin in the long term.
He went further to state that this is thr fifth time BTC price has fallen by 50% or more since it's inception in 2009.
Bitcoin is currently trading at $37,000 down approximately 45% from its high as posted in Nov. 2021. Are there provisions put in place to curtail this downward spiral? https://www.investopedia.com/why-is-bitcoin-price-dropping-5216985
What do you mean by "Are there provisions put in place to curtail this downward spiral" is Bitcoin some Government-issued assets that should be rescued by some policies to boost up the price? and this is the nature of the market. You should know that since the inception of Bitcoin back in 2009, it has actually been on a Bull run and still is if you look at it or haven't you seen the chart? 
Not directly , but when there is a policy or certain rules set in a country where crypto investor , crypto business giant come from and growing really fast plus that rules/policies does really support the crypto ecosystem then i think it is... has a significant impact.

For instance

'President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed an executive order directing agencies across the federal government to coordinate efforts to regulate cryptocurrencies and other digital assets.'

This trigger uncertainity , whether should you sell it for a while or bag more before it's too late?
We are in that kind phase currently so yeah that's why it gets dropping.
1290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 14, 2022, 03:41:28 PM
Right now as better standing position between AC Milan than Inter Milan but should remember Inter Milan have one match left and looks close 1 point only behind AC Milan if success get winning match, but still speculative both Inter Milan and AC Milan have 9 match later and have two match against with bigger team, between Inter Milan and AC Milan still have left match against Juventus and Fiorentina as potential team will make them difficult how to get Serie A title in this season.
They are so close on the table so any lost points will give advantage to another team in this competition. Currently Inter Milan are under Napoli and one unplayed match does not mean 3 points for Inter Milan.

More dangerously for Inter Milan, Juventus are only 3 points less than Inter Milan and if Inter can not get 3 points in the unplayed match, they will put themselves in risk of losing not only Scudetto but also the third position to Juventus.
If everyone at juventus thinking deeply and negatively like that .. i think it could come true .. a great performance the whole season fall apart in just few matches heading to the end of the season , could be a painful one.

Remember just remember that anything can really happened , juventus to win the title? It's still possible even with very tiny chance!
1291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: March 14, 2022, 02:27:41 PM
Nobody expected arsenal performance growing that drastics , they are in full confidence now even if they win the rest of the 3 advantage matches they could finish the season above chelsea at 3rd.
What an achievement if arsenal could finish 3rd but yeah arsenal meant to have that 4th place tho.
You can say that again for Arsenal, it's really surprising how they manage it to get this far with that squad and you can tell, they are in for the UCL next season because, there is no shifting from the fourth place on that league table noose. The league could be considered closed as it is except for spots like the fifth place which is highly dependent on the Spurs performance in there remaining games. Manchester United surely wasn't a good team this season and performed what I tend to see as there worst although, there yesterday's game was some worth interesting, with Ronaldo waking up yo the challenge and claiming the 3 points for Manchester United. Still, Spurs aren't off there backs.
4arsenal, i believe Everyone remembered that jokes lol

They are the title contenders for over 10 years under arsene wenger and most of that 10 seasons they are finished 4th.
That was an embarassing achievement back in the days , but now things has changed and 4th place feel like winning something , that is huge downgrade actually over there.
1292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 14, 2022, 01:32:33 PM
The Paul Pogba situation is still a dead end as it seems. There is still nothing clear about his decision for next season. He still hasn't renewed his contract with Manchester United. He can be signed without any transfer fee now. But I still don't see any team being interested in him very seriously. There are just rumours like Juventus, Real Madrid and PSG are the closest teams to make an offer. We will see how many of them will really make a move for him. Pogba is not a player that you would like to miss the chance of signing now too.
Yeah pretty weird .. he is one of the best midfielder in the world currently and surprisingly real madrid who badly wanted him last season feel like disappears .. it's like between they want him but not really needed him.

He could still stay at manchester united though .. depends on which manager will takeover manchester united next season.
1293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: March 14, 2022, 01:15:36 PM
Xavi has managed to do a very good job and at the moment it looks like their Barcelona players are at their best especially Aubameyang because if we look at the last few games since joining the Barcelona team he has been playing really brilliantly, Xavi is very lucky to be able to bring Aubameyang to Barcelona because with his presence Aubameyang is able to make the Barcelona team strong again.
Not only Aubameyang has managed to play well for Barcelona at the moment, but all Barcelona players have a strong mentality when playing in a match. You also shouldn't forget Dembele and Adama who have now managed to contribute to the club with their assists and good games. Torres has also improved and I can say that Xavi has created a new spirit for the current Barcelona players.

Tiki-taka is one of Barcelona's DNA left by the two previous coaches. But Xavi is starting to bring it back and apply it to a game where possession and passing effectiveness are getting better at the moment. The number of goals they have scored has also increased where Barcelona have scored 26 goals in various competitions in their last 10 matches. Means Barcelona's current goal average in the last 10 matches is 2.6 goals per game, that's an impressive statistic.
Absolutely show how the big club playing. Dembele could be a good asset for Barca however he did has the less playing time because of his physical issue otherwise he would've been at the top. He is just unfortunate with injuries. Competition makes a team grow. Adama is a danger to his play so he really wants to bring his a game. Aubameyang has managed to play unbelievably well for Barcelona many games. Barcelona should save that person for quite a while.

Imagine when Fati is completely fit then the attacking talent would be Auba, Adama, fati, Torres, Dembele.
But dembele is not happy at barcelona isn't it?

He rejected barcelona renewal contract offer due financial reason and the fans was not happy at all that time , what about now?
Would he decide to stay at barcelona and the fans could love him back with his outstanding performance? Well nobody knows , all i know ... he is a young beast at dortmund back in the time.

Arsenal were undoubtedly impressive against Leicester. I watched the game and love the way they dominated it. Leicester are still not even close to their good old days now. And they struggled too much in this game also. They had only 4 shots in total and the half of them were on target as well. Arsenal had so many chances and won by 2-0 as a result. If they had a top striker then, they would have scored even more I think. But they are still very good at climbing the positions this season. They have started to be my number one contender for ending at the fourth position.
They are underestimated since the beginning and here they are bossing the 4th place .

Nobody expected arsenal performance growing that drastics , they are in full confidence now even if they win the rest of the 3 advantage matches they could finish the season above chelsea at 3rd.
What an achievement if arsenal could finish 3rd but yeah arsenal meant to have that 4th place tho.

osimhen managed to give 1 goal for napoli, the score is 1-0 led by napoli at this time.  verona so far has only focused mostly on playing in midfield, so there are almost no attacks that threaten napoli.  Napoli must win in this match to return to 2nd place in the standings.
Despite they are currently leading the game with 0-1 and bring them to second place , inter milan could always drag them down back to 3rd at anytime as napoli played 2 matches more.
This is not something that they could achieve easily even to finish at the top 4.

Juventus still watching each of napoli and the duo milan . They could still make a huge surprise tho by the end of the season

Chelsea match against Newcastle had just started and at the start of the game Chelsea controlled it well, they could several times make dangerous attacks in the early minutes of the game.
I think even though these two teams are in good form and in a positive trend, the quality of Chelsea's players is above Newcastle. I think that it is very likely that Chelsea can win this match even though it is not easy maybe with a very tight score, 1-0 or 2 -1

Throughout the first half and now it's been 30 minutes of the game, still no sign of a goal from Chelsea, even though they controlled the game. Chelsea will be sure that they will get the win. Not to mention the appearance of Newcastle which is quite arguably providing resistance even though it is not too dangerous. Chelsea itself is targeting 2 goals for this match.
Even there is no shot on target for chelsea in the first half.

I feel like wanna kick the ball myself watching how chelsea keep on passing but zero finishing.
We might need lukaku ASAP. Otherwise i think the match could ended goalless.
Such a boring game , i fall asleep lol.

For poeple who claim that one of the main advantages of Bitcoin is its pseudo-anonymity some Bitcoiners do have a really weird fetish of wanting to know who is the guy owning this and that, when has he bought the coins, where is he sending the money, does he plan on selling or not, full name, shoe size,] and favorite pizza.

Seriously, stop with these, what's your business with what other poeple do? Zero! So stop it!...
Spot on!
The world has always been populated with far too many folks that just LOVE to endlessly speculate on just about anything no matter how pointless it is...
Well should we pretend let's say satoshi is died .

And treat like those coins held in his wallet worth 44 billion dollar now would forever remain there untouchable.
We might stop this endless & pointless speculation if we found a proof that satoshi are no longer in this world.

Nice had a really bad day against Montpellier today. Nice got a red card and this started bad things for them. Montpellier were already a dangerous opponent and this incident helped them get stronger in this match. And they really could have won the match too if they weren't too bad at scoring. Nice still secured one point in this bad situation. And now Marseille will be targeting to have the second position in the standings. But they will have to defeat Brest by a big goal difference to do this.
Despite the red card bad luck for nice and a draw result as they failed to keep up with psg at the top two , they are not losing the three points and earned one at least.
They defend it very well and make it goalless as montpellier desperate to move up into the european competition zone.

Still .. marseille haunting them to drag them down to 3rd as they had 1 game advantage.
1299  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you think the effects of soaring prices and fiat depreciation is on BTC? on: March 12, 2022, 10:57:05 PM
My idea is that there can be money devaluation which is normal right from when fiat was created in a way to help the economy, even all the world are experiencing fiat devaluation as a result of Covid-19, even the war between Ukraine and Russia may contribute more to this which can take years.

But what is still getting me confused is that we do not know what will be bitcoin all-time-low from 2020 to 2024 would be, if the price of bitcoin is decreasing, it will be more profitable for people that buy at the lower price (but waiting can be a way someone can miss the next bull run).

In long term speculation, if someone can hold bitcoin for long, like for 2, 3 or more years, buying during this time will not be a bad idea at all, but there can still be more downturn. With $69000 all-time-high, bitcoin has reduced in price to $39000, if someone buy bitcoin now and hold it for long and if he is not panic during downturn, but smiles and waiting for bull run, certainly bitcoin will reach all-time-high and this will be an hedge against inflation.
+1 , the devaluation will always there no matter what , that is the nature of money itself.

Just like the inflation, that's why bitcoin invented.
Isn't it as a money revolution as well as an inflation hedge, no? People will always run into bitcoin from now on when they looking for a safe haven from such uncertainity of depreciation / inflation.

Even now AC Milan is in the top position with two points ahead of Inter. But we also can't underestimate Inter, because Inter in the last 5 matches have
shown a declining performance.
Now, the point gap is 5 since AC Milan won again. AC Milan knows if they must get 3 points to widen the point gap with Inter Milan, so they struggle all out to get points in their home today. This winning indicates AC Milan has a good motivation in competing for the title, they won't miss any points on each match. Now, it depends on the result of Inter Milan in the next few matches. If they can win every match, the competition for the title will be very tight. I believe the competition for the title won't be only for AC Milan and Inter Milan, Napoli and Juventus still have an opportunity.


5 points clear at the top for ac milan as inter milan had 2 games in hand , huge advantages here for ac milan for real!
Inter will have a busy week with tough opponents ahead in the next 3 matches , it's :

Torino
Fiorentina
Juventus

They could dropped points up to 6 points from these three fixtures which means ac milan could remain at the top! Hopefully so.
