You're right, whoever wins the title in the end then that's the best team and deserves it. But speaking of opportunities, Arsenal, who are currently 6 points ahead of Manchester City, can still excel despite the fact that they are starting to feel heavy pressure to maintain their advantage. Manchester City is very likely to reduce the gap with Arsenal to 3 points if they win against Leicester, so that is a threat.

After all, Manchester City probably won't lose focus on the Premier League as long as they still have a chance to win the title. They will still be trying to win all available titles, so this season can really be expected to be great to look forward to.
Arsenal only has 1 match in sight to maintain its position at the top of the standings. Because if you lose or get a draw then the potential for Manchester City is greater to catch up. For that, I want interesting things where West Ham managed to make Arsenal's path even more difficult. Even though West Ham's potential to hold a draw is quite small, at least they can put that small hope to good use.

It is true that Newcastle this season is having a very good season, even though they have stumbled in a number of matches, but they have proven their capacity and mentality to compete in the top 4 again. On the other hand, because Newcastle has been acquired by an owner from the Middle East, Newcastle can be more flexible in buying the players needed for the team. We know that the money that has been poured out this season is quite a lot to bring in quality players and that can be managed well by their coach Eddie Howie.
Newcastle got his confidence back after being able to bounce back to beat Manchester United. And in the end it was proven that they kept trying to compete very competitively in order to get tickets to the Champions League. So that in the summer Newcastle will target the purchase of fantastic players in order to fulfill their ambitions.

Chelsea never let Ziyech to play anymore and it's a valid reason why Ziyech is possible to join PSG, Ziyech is a popular player too in the last world cup with his national team, Morocco.
After the big purchase made by Chelsea last season, Todd Boehly brought big problems because in the near future, Chelsea will experience a financial crisis. This forced Chelsea to release players who have high prices. This rumor also shows the poor performance of Chelsea in the Premier League. Todd Boehly has spent a lot of money while not having as big of an impact as he could have hoped. It's no wonder that in the summer several players will be on the sale list released by Chelsea. Not only Ziyech, but Mason Mount name will also be on the list.
1224  Economy / Economics / Re: Advises 'Get Rid of Your US Dollars Now (Economist Peter Schiff) on: April 11, 2023, 02:03:58 PM
I don't think it matters that de-dollarization will serve as a warning to the superpowers themselves. The reason is that the BRICS did oil transactions for the sake of leaving the US Dollar, based on GDP data of more than 26% in the world. This means that in other words the demand for US Dollars can fall by up to 26%, so the value of the Dollar will also fall.

Furthermore, looking at it from the point of view of the crisis experienced by the US some time ago which resulted in the collapse of banks. Even though the US government tries to convince its customers that their savings are still guaranteed from a bank rush or bank out. It's just that the guarantee is only short-term. Maybe 10 to 15 years of US Dollars will be left behind if the client's large assets are not provided with long-term collateral.

Therefore having anticipation is an action that needs to be taken. With the record of not completely releasing dollars but having investments in assets whose supply is limited. Whether it's gold, silver, land property, or even Bitcoin for the sake of having an exchange rate that can be switched at any time.

What are your thoughts on it, like if we really want to remain anonymous and want to get more control of the internet by leveraging Web3 then why we are riding on the boat of Web2? Why are we still sticking to centralized platform?
The reverse question is whether you really control the internet properly and remain anonymous. and can you ensure that your activity is clean from data capture?
It's all about the taste of people who decide to stay on the path of full decentralization or indeed just as needed. So far it is difficult to classify into a decentralized container if it still requires a centralized system let alone bound by a contract with exchange parties. More specifically, at this time, no one can really avoid centralization, let alone not really care. Because the most important thing for some people is the benefits that are wrapped in it.

Actually, you don't need to regret the sale, even though we know when the situation is urgent and requires any money to be sold including Bitcoin ownership. Today you may sell it but that doesn't rule out the possibility that in the future you will have it again. Don't be sad because family needs are the most important thing above all. In the past, I also did the same thing, selling out of necessity, but time goes on and we always have the opportunity to have it again. There are still many ways to hold Bitcoin, while Bitcoin is still being traded, you can buy it whenever you want. Imagine that there are many people out there who have lost access to their wallets with a large amount of Bitcoin. While they need money to stay alive.

It is claimed that Benzema has turned down an offer by a Saudi Arabia team and he wants to stay at Real Madrid for one more season.

This can really be true because he is really enjoying his game right now. This season is also going on really good for him. He made two hat-tricks recently as well. Maybe his performance this season isn't the same as the previous one but it must still be enough for Real Madrid. They will need his productivity in the Champions League as well while we are very close to the quarter final games.
One more season at Real Madrid is not bad for Benzema. He was still quite competent and had returned in quite a good mood. Enjoying his time at Real Madrid has made Benzema confident that in the next season, his performance will remain optimal. However, Madrid also needs to have the option of additional players in the transfer market next summer in order to ensure that if at any time instability occurs, Madrid is ready with an alternative.

PSG supporters were booing Messi when I last saw him in a game. It must due to his not extending his contract with the team still I guess.

But this is a big disrespect to Messi in my opinion. Because since he adapted to PSG's system he has been performing really great. He has done his best for the team so far in every tournament. He has made a much bigger impact than Neymar also honestly. The fans have a really unfair attitude against him. Messi's priority is always going to be Barcelona in the end. He was even hoping for a return there before signing for PSG. The financial issues blocked the way. He will hope for reuniting with the team this summer again for sure.
It is indeed very dishonorable to see PSG supporters booing Messi, especially when PSG failed to extend their win in the Champions League. Right after PSG failed several times to qualify for the Champions League, PSG supporters started making words that made Messi uncomfortable.

It's a shame that Messi has taken on such a heavy duty at PSG, despite the fact that da Mbappe and Neymar are not enough to distract the fans. If Messi leaves and returns to Barcelona then the decision he has made is the right one. The reason is, if the contract is extended, I'm not sure that if PSG finally fails again next season, the risk will be much worse.

I think it would be good if we can convince these people that they are wrong. I know that an obvious way to do it would be an education, which will help A LOT. But as for now, do you think there are other ways to change these people's opinions?
Like would it be good if we could create a system that somehow will make the life of criminals who use Bitcoin harder?
Decentralization cannot be stopped and people are free to do whatever they want with Bitcoin. We do need to provide education but that is only limited to education and nothing more. Because everyone has different goals based on the use of Bitcoin. Even now the government has issued threat after threat for those who carry out illegal activities. Not that the government can stop the movement behind the scenes.

Haaland is really like a goal machine this season. He really looks like an unstoppable striker right now. He scored two more goals in the Southampton match as well and reached 30 goals in total in the Premier League already. There are still nine more matches ahead of him so he can even finish the season by scoring over 40 goals. He was really impressive at Dortmund as well but this level is something different now.

Because the Premier League is technically the most challenging league in Europe now. He has joined a much more competitive league but this didn't affect him badly at all. Instead he even improved his scoring effort even more. He is totally the most irrevocable player in the squad currently. He is their biggest hope in the Champions League to make it to the title as well.
And the most interesting thing is that when Haaland had already scored 2 goals, Pep Guardiola did not want to take any further risks, so he immediately made the decision to replace Haaland so that his fitness was well maintained in the Champions League. I think Bayern Munich will be watching Haaland's move very carefully. At such a young age, Haaland has shown something that can't be shown by players after him. Apart from Manchester City's win over Southampton, it was all thanks to De Byne's intelligence in reading situations on the field.

Now they will practice and focus on completing their matches in the Champions League, there is no time left but to steal a start to secure a position.

I have also heard about the news such as Bayern Munich don't intend to be in a war with any team to sign Harry Kane in the summer. They are saying that the reason is Tottenham's price tag for Kane which is around 100 million pounds now. This news can really have some truth in it but I still can't be confident about anything. Because Kane is still one of the best complete-forwards in Europe now.

Maybe he is getting older but I don't think this will affect him in a bad way now. Because he is still a really productive striker as we are witnessing it in the English Premier League this season. I think he can be this much helpful for his team for at least a couple of more years. Manchester United and Bayern Munich both can make use of a striker like him but let's see which side will act first to sign him.
All the rumors about Hay Kane will only end where he will choose to stay. He has rejected several offers from big clubs, even clubs as big as Manchester United because his loyalty to Tottenham is very high. Then, with Tottenham having high prices, it means that they actually have no intention of letting this player go. Clubs that intend to buy Harry Kane will reconsider this price. Kane must be old no matter what the golden age he gave at Tottenham. Even though his skills are still pretty good, it doesn't rule out the possibility that once he's at the new club, his services won't be the same. And the one who has the most influence on Kane's performance is the coach that Tottenham has. Haven't there been many examples of talented players taken at the previous club but blunted after moving?

In my country i observed so many people doing rally and blame the government why the basic needs price rise and the salary is still very low and not enough for daily expenses, is this the effect of the Ukraine and russia war that makes the gas or crude oil so high at price and they pass the gas expenses to the product and it ends to very high price of the basic needs that make us very poor, I see government has a move to resolve the problem but many people are still blaming the government.

Review the shrimp laws they made and believe that all of them are for the benefit of certain party groups that occupy their respective positions. The demonstrations seemed as if they had never been heard of and most of what they proposed was not implemented properly. Only false promises that the rich will remain rich and the poor will remain in poverty. Raising food prices, high taxes but the proceeds go into the pockets of officials. That is the picture in any country, if we don't have an income sector, we will still be oppressed, the jobs they promised will not really be fulfilled. The democratic state is only a mask for the oligarchs to carry out their goals.

Everywhere I see everyone is talking more about the Real Madrid vs Chelsea match in the quarter finals of the Champions League. But yes this match will be really competitive I think too. But we should discuss something with the rest of the parties. Such teams like Bayern Munich, Manchester City are very promising.
Chelsea will obviously be very difficult to predict even though statistically their performance is bad. But once again this is the Champions League which can motivate the players at any time. Real Madrid need to be careful because when Chelsea is in doubt it might actually backfire for Ancelotti after being on the field.


On the other hand, Benfica vs Inter will kick off the opening quarter-final match. And Benfica is of course the underdog because they have become an obstacle for big clubs to qualify. Therefore, if you look at Benfica's solid back line, it will be of more concern to Inter.

At the same time as the Benfica vs Inter match, there is the match we are most looking forward to, namely Manchester City against Bayern Munich which will really entertain all the spectators with the competition between the two.
1233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 08, 2023, 02:07:31 PM
Manchester United finally won this match with pretty good results. There have been some significant changes in both the back and midfield. Almost all of the players played solidly and were quite calm. This result brought them back to 3rd place in the standings to see the ongoing Newcastle vs Brentford results.


Early in the first half Newcastle immediately stepped on the gas and controlled 50% of the field. This means they really don't want to lose this fight. Brentford still has a chance to excel. I hope Brentford can come out victorious even though the potential is quite small.

I don't know if Frank Lampard will be really good for Chelsea, but maybe this is just the first step to take Chelsea in a good direction while contacting some of the best managers. This is a second chance for Frank Lampard which he should be able to take advantage of, he has a good job to bring the team to good performance, this is an opportunity because Chelsea are not in a good position.

Even if Lampard doesn't make it, this means he'll only get that short-term termination, but I think he'll stay until the end of the season. There is a chance that Lampard will stay if in fact Chelsea can get in good form for the rest of the season.
Frank Lampard wasn't so bad in his first time as Chelsea manager, probably with the available players now and the quality of the squad their is a better probability of doing better with this second chance. The objective for the remainder of the season will be to make European football and if he can turn the situation around till the end of the season their is tendency of getting a new deal at the end of the season.
Lampard received a very tough task given by Todd Boehly, at a time when the club was in a slump and had to try to develop as much as possible until the end of the season. At least Lampard puts Chelsea in the top 8 or at least the top 10. Because if the results are bad he doesn't have another chance to be extended. Todd Boehly is still in contact with several coaches which means making options early if at any time Lampard is unable to satisfy Todd Boehly.

36 months would be long enough for you to determine whether a business is running well or not. You can easily determine if your business is profitable in just a span of a year because if not, you might probably be losing even your capital. It is normal to encounter problems in the beginning but if you notice that you are not recovering your losses and the cycle is continuously running, you better check your mistakes, the strategies that you have to polish, and your target market as well. If things still aren't working for you, you don't have to stop trying but rather switch to another location, product, or target market.
It's not easy to maintain the current business, even though the environment and target consumers are adequate, even though business competition will corner us, even more, to keep dropping prices as much as possible. Online competition erodes offline-based businesses, and based on facts in the field, an online business also has tougher competition. Everyone must survive and when the OP starts to feel that the sector he is in is not producing results or in other words the profits generated are not in accordance with the target then there are 2 possibilities to survive and be able to bear all the losses in the long term or switch to a new business sector.

Real madrid has been getting weak spot of barcelona. You shall try to put the primary concern into the strategy that used by real madrid against barcelona. Ancellotti was trying to take a big gamble by allowing its players to use the same strategy as barcelona. That's good to see that some important players got injured. real madrid was able to taking a trophy from copa del rey this season as long as madrid will be showing another excellent performance in the final. Some players that played so well during the match were already substituted by xavi.  
4 important Barcelona players who are absent are Pedri, Dembele, Christensen, and Frenkie de Jong certainly makes it clear that Barcelona game cannot be properly conditioned. Seeing their fight, I don't like Gavi's aggressiveness, he messes up everything just to fulfill his ego on the field. But I'm grateful because Madrid silenced the young player with a landslide score without being able to give a reply.

snip~
It seems you exaggerate Real Madrid, anything can happen in football, if Real Madrid loses you will say the opposite about Real Madrid. Real Madrid won playing well, but they can still slip up at any time unexpectedly.
Real Madrid's victory was the result of their hard work after being defeated by Barcelona in the second meeting of La Liga. Real Madrid has also been humiliated by Barcelona in front of its supporters, the situation that occurred at Camp Nou was very profitable for Real Madrid, they were able to move into the final after a successful comeback in the second leg.
He's not exaggerating, that's a fact on the ground based on the results of this fight. However, that doesn't mean that Madrid always wins, everyone also needs to evaluate it objectively, but this time Barcelona was humiliated. Returning to La Liga, Barcelona will definitely remain top of the standings and it will be difficult for Real Madrid following a point behind. Therefore, the opportunities that Ancelotti has are only in the Champions League and the Copa Del Rey. So it is certain that the La Liga trophy this season will more easily fall into the hands of Barcelona.

Newcastle seem to have gone into overdrive of late, they keep scoring too many goals and just last night they got 5 passed westham which was unexpected!
And if Manchester United and Newcastle end this campaign with same points they will remain on top because of their superior goal scoring... I guess big money is now working at Newcastle , wonder if these guys are given goal scoring bonuses because the team looks highly motivated and getting the job done.

From the look of things a top four finish looks guaranteed for these guys, thanks to their  consistency.
The two clubs both Manchester United and Newcastle will continue to compete for third place. But if you look so far the difference between the two can almost be said to be thin with their respective advantages. Newcastle has been waiting for this moment for a long time and with sufficient finances, they can more easily accumulate expensive players next season. Manchester United is a giant club, of course, this makes competition fierce, for Manchester United, 3rd place is a dead price that must be achieved at the end of this season. Erik Ten Hag needs a big push and balance for his players.

There is a rumor going around that Centralized ChatGPT is getting banned, I don't know if this is official yet but it is official that in Italy the government is worried about privacy concerns and they put a ban on ChatGPT, is this the beginning of the end for ChatGPT? How will this impact decentralized AI projects because I believe they can't be banned.

Another possibility is if ChatGPT or OpenAI start getting banned in other parts of the world we can see a big rally on AI projects on the blockchain, what do you think?

It's no wonder why ChatGPT is banned, depending on whether it's profitable or not because of the fact that when we ask for someone's data on ChatGPT, we will get it easily. Once again the privacy that is given for free and the data collection make ChatGPT quite dangerous. There are always its own pros and cons. The purpose of ChatGPT was created to help human work easier but being a double-edged sword can make it useful and vice versa.

Manchester United has failed to win the last 3 matches so this is not good for them because after the loses from Newcastle their position were down to 5th and since Manchester United not playing with full team and after win Carabao Cup trophy they seem very difficult to win the matches and now Brentford will be their opponent and it's not easy to beat this team because their performance were much better than Manchester United

First meeting doesn't run well for Manchester United because at that time they were lose from Brentford with big scores 4-0 and now they have a mission to get revenge and to taking over 3rd position from Newcastle this is indeed hard but consider Manchester United will playing at Old Trafford probably they will have strong motivation to win and actually a bit doubt to picked but Manchester United win probably good for this match and the odds is @1.66
Therefore, in this match, Manchester United will again have problems. I am optimistic that Brentford has the upper hand in any way. Manchester United lost the soul of his game, plus Erik Ten Hag took too big a risk by playing McTominay who didn't do much. Erik Ten Hag did not realize before that when the game was not effective in penetrating the opponent's defense, substitutions should have been made sooner. But instead, he defended with a blunt attack composition. So far Manchester United do not have the ideal choice of players. Garnacho out and Casemiro still on the card made their form very poor. Rashford for some reason didn't seem to play a role at all in launching attacks.

It's not easy against Brentford, they are often better able to outperform matches against big clubs. I'd rather bet on them than Manchester United now.

   Not all the time our physical body is strong, yes his intention is good to go abroad, we should also consider that even if we send money to our family, we should also have savings for the future.

Because if we send most of our salary to our family, the time we worked hard for when we spent energy away from our family will surely go to nothing.
There's nothing wrong with sending money to your beloved family every month. Because it depends on you in managing finances starting from salary. Don't get me wrong, we work to fulfill life, to please those we love but not to put aside preparing for the future. You just need to set it up in such a way and be smart about allocating your monthly salary.

Don't be too economical to talk about making your parents happy, because you can get this far thanks to those who work hard when you don't know how to make money. They fight to keep you alive no matter what way they will for the sake of the people they love. And after we grow up, have a family, have a job, get a salary and do we deserve to put our parents aside? leaving them with nothing for the rest of their lives?
