I don't know anything about institutional investors because the rumours have been around for the last five years. But the cycles and market manipulation have not changed. One thing is clear that the big companies have been around for a long time. If the etf is accepted, the big money will be in the market officially.
And when the big money from the ETF received circulates into the market, that's when Bitcoin will continue to experience a big spike. Because the circulation of larger amounts of money can also be the main foundation for the push to increase prices in the market, there will be many people who are surprised by the extraordinary achievements in Bitcoin. So everyone just needs to make sure there is more valid evidence for this because many of the big companies in the world have definitely looked at Bitcoin and are trying to have it as their additional investment for now.

Management and being humble is what they should be taught. Well, I don't want to speak about it because I know it's hard to teach kids and hopefully I'll be able to apply that to my kid.
Everyone who has children definitely has a way to teach their children to be better from an early age so that their children can be smarter, more independent, and also have a polite attitude in facing every problem in their life later. So you and other people may apply different ways to it as long as the thing that is applied is most suitable and better for their child.

Quote
That's because I've seen great, humble and hard working parents but then, their kids are not. It's easy to tip on what must be done but when someone goes into the actuality, everything changes.
It is true that nothing is easy in life, especially when it comes to educating our own children, because they don't necessarily want to work as hard as we have done throughout our lives. But that doesn't mean every parent can't direct them to be better because no matter what their attitude is, they will definitely listen to what we say at a very early age.

Teams like Napoli still play well against small teams even when they are in their bad form. You can’t compare the two teams in terms of team quality, players and full football coordination in the field of play. Napoli have the advantage of winning this game on clean sheet and that is not something we can doubt about. Napoli are also playing from home which is a bigger advantage for them secure a win smoothly.
Even though there is a greater possibility for Napoli to win the match at home when facing Cagliari, I think Napoli should not underestimate a team like Cagliari because this season Cagliari also often surprises in matches with other big teams. So Napoli also have to be more serious in facing Cagliari because every victory must always be achieved with struggle. Because victory will not come by itself if the team does not try more seriously even though the team they are facing is a small team.

because it is certain to qualify for the next phase of the knockout stages, of course, saving the energy of the main players to provide excellent physicality in the next match in the English premiere league , as well as providing and experience for their reserve players in competitive competitions, namely in the champion league.
The Champions League always presents competition that is much more competitive than other leagues because in the Champions League, the best teams from all the leagues meet here to compete for a very prestigious trophy. So it is certain that each team will continue to use its best strategy, including keeping its players from getting injured and also utilizing second-tier players after seeing that the team has qualified for the next round.

with only 3 months left, that will be a short time for yamaha to be able to develop their motorbike. even though they get unrestricted testing and free engine development, other manufacturers like ducati are already several steps ahead compared to yamaha. i don't think the help from luca marmorini was very helpful either, considering that they are specialists in f1 and matching with yamaha engines takes more time.

i bet that yamaha's performance will be bad again in the next season.
It would be very wrong if you only looked at three months for motorbike development because that is quite a short time to build a motorbike with competition specs in MotoGP. You should also be able to imagine that Luca Marmorini, who is not often seen in the Yamaha paddock, was tasked with building Yamaha engines to make them better.

Although for now everyone can assume that Yamaha will not be competitive again because Ducati is one step ahead, but try to remember back when Ducati was still not competitive and other Asian manufacturers had taken a step forward in the past. Ducati continues to work with good determination and never gives up on what happened to them before becoming competitive.
246  Economy / Economics / Re: I need financial advice for my careless uncle. on: December 12, 2023, 06:50:10 PM
I draw conclusions from your story, your uncle's lifestyle is very bad. because he already has a wife and children, your uncle should be aware that if he does this it will hurt his wife and children. Your uncle still can't control himself that he is old enough and already has a family. It is true that at times like this, financial advice is really needed for your uncle who still likes to spend money, but the first step that needs to be advised to your uncle first is to change this unhealthy lifestyle.
If you tell someone to change their habits which they often do when they are young because they remember that they are no longer young, I think that is a reasonable thing to do. Because most people when they get old really have to change their mindset for the better so that they can teach the generations in their family better, especially if someone currently has children and grandchildren. Of course, considering changing your mindset for the better is the time to do it now without having to wait until you get older.

Quote
Because financial advice alone will not have any effect if it is not accompanied by new lifestyle changes from your uncle. With income of that amount, you need to be able to plan your finances in the future so that your uncle can retire early and enjoy the results in his old age with his investments.
In fact, if an uncle's income can be quite large and any money he earns can still be invested by his children and grandchildren, I don't think it's very wrong for him to continue doing so. But he also needs to teach his children and grandchildren to be able to manage existing finances quite well, because money is usually always easier for anyone to spend, but it will not always be easy for anyone to get if they don't have the right method and mindset. So it is very important to teach generations in your own family about things like that for a better life in the future.

I think there are good news from those companies because they did invested into bitcoin and they want us to invest into bitcoin as well so they are promoting it. Like all those grayscale type of companies (and blackrock to a point) will always promote bitcoin because they know that the higher the price goes the more they are going to profit and in order for that to happen they need to have a lot of people buying bitcoin.
Indeed, there is more enthusiasm among most people when they see the significant price increase in Bitcoin over the last two months, so it is also quite natural that there are many new companies and people who promote Bitcoin after seeing the increasing price increase for Bitcoin. And I'm also sure that right now there are many people who want to take advantage of this small correction moment for maximum profits next year when there is another price increase.

Quote
This is why they keep saying that they need to end up doing something like marketing on behalf of bitcoin, it's not their duty and they do not have to do it, it's not like it's their job to do something like that or they weren't hired to do that but in the end they would profit from bitcoin going up so they do it.
We also need to look at this from various other angles, as most people are always happy to do things like that without being hired by certain parties. Because when important people who are trusted by many people start promoting Bitcoin at the end of this year, of course there will be many people who want to follow suit and they can also benefit together when the price of Bitcoin continues to increase in the market.

The league is almost halfway through the season and the race for the title is still very competitive. Juventus and Inter are really competing with a difference of only 2 points. I agree with you that Juventus is a team that is good at finding gaps in opponents' weaknesses. Even though Juventus' weakness here is in their strikers, this can be seen from the number of goals scored which is only 23 goals, but they can play very well with their defense so they often win with narrow scores.
The target of the Juventus team itself is to be able to win even if it is only by a narrow score, because only with that can Juventus continue to stick to the leader of the standings with a very close number of points even though there are shortcomings in terms of the number of goals. I'm still quite confident that Juventus will continue to be consistent until the end of the season because Juventus is only thinking about Serie A this season so Juventus doesn't need to put their minds on other competitions.

Man U and Bayern Munich lost their last games in the domestic leagues with big scores... By the way both results surprised me a lot, especially Bayern, who are in first place in the group... They don't need a win now and even if they lose, they will remain in first place... I think it will be an interesting match...
The interesting thing about this match is that both teams are still trying to win, but if Bayern Munich is no longer trying to win in that match, it feels like the match will not be exciting enough even though Manchester United themselves will try to win in this match. Just because this match is the last match for the group stage in the Champions League, I will still watch it until the end.

This will be the most interesting match today. I will definitely tip Man U to win this game. Just has you have said Bayern Munich has nothing to gain nor lose from this match but Man U really need it to qualify for Europa. He may even be lucky to qualify for champions league if fortunately for him Copenhagen and Galatasaray played draw. So, I think they will play with all their strength to get a win from this match.
Hopefully the tips you give to Manchester United can produce sweet results for them because if Manchester United wins today's match and they qualify for the Europa League, Manchester United will also meet Liverpool again there. And I think it will also be quite exciting considering that the strongest team there is Liverpool this season.

Although director Massimo Meregalli states that the performance of the Yamaha engine has met expectations, Quartararo has already admitted that he was not at all impressed and that he expected more from a power unit produced with the help of Luca Marmorini, a famous engineer with experience in Formula 1.
Everyone will see how Yamaha performs during this season in developing its engine for next season, especially with the help of Luca Marmorini for Yamaha and the other technicians at Yamaha. Because no one will stay at Yamaha for long if the Yamaha manufacturer does not develop well or meet the expectations of its own riders next season.

Quote
But, who knows, this could change next year, because after hearing these harsh words from Fabio Quartararo about the new engine tested in Misano, Yamaha promises news for the coming weeks with a view to the 2024 season, they say they are preparing two new engine versions for 2024.

Will Yamaha be able to impress this time? I still have my doubts.
I'm also curious about the new version of Yamaha's engine and the possibility that it will be seen at the Sepang Malaysia test at the beginning of next year, because what Fabio Quartararo tested at the Valencia test was only an engine with small updates which in general is not much different from the 2023 engine. So I will see what Fabio Quartararo comments after testing at Sepang early next year so that Yamaha can live up to better expectations. However, if at that time there were no Yamaha riders who were satisfied with the engine developed so far, I would also doubt Yamaha's performance next season.

Getting research ab out different coins made me a better trader but that take more time as compared to a tutor or someone is teaching a person trading. Personally I believe we should do trading with having a good capital available in each sense.
Everyone really needs to do research on every job they want to start, because without knowing about the depth or ins and outs that exist in each coin or cryptocurrency in general, it will certainly be very difficult for traders to choose the best cryptocurrency to trade with them in the market. Because traders also need to choose cryptocurrencies very carefully so as not to get stuck with shitcoins that are less useful in the market.

Quote
Also we should avoid most things in trading like we have to do trading with full confidence in order to get out of the pressure of loss. Mostly users got frightened by having loss in different areas.
Those who are afraid of losing in various areas are people who may not understand the risks in trading and may be wrong in choosing the coins they trade in the market. Apart from that, it could also be because they don't have spare capital when trading so that is the only capital they use for trading so they are more easily afraid and panic when they experience losses in various areas.
252  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Is Bitcoin Price Increasing? on: December 08, 2023, 02:36:23 PM
In my opinion, the factor that makes the price of bitcoin increase is because it is driven by retail players, especially in the last few months the price of bitcoin has risen very sharply, driven by institutions that have started to get involved in bitcoin, many big investors have started investing in bitcoin, so it is not surprising that the price of bitcoin continues to increase.
This could be very possible because buyers in large numbers at this time must have also entered the market to buy Bitcoin and their involvement is very undoubted. Because the increase in the last two months can be said to be significant and there is also an influence from people who have a lot of capital to put it into Bitcoin before next year. It could also be said that there is encouragement from large institutions because perhaps they have seen the good news for Bitcoin so they are trying to take advantage of this moment quite well.

Juventus is 2nd, only two points behind the league leader Inter. Although the difference in class between Juventus and Inter this season has been more significant than that 2-point gap. Juventus fans are dreaming about the Scudetto, and this game will determine the real perspective. After winning the Scudetto with Napoli, Cristiano Giuntoli will be trying to do the same with Juventus. Despite many things, I can't deny that this season is actually an opportunity for Juventus to rebuild, forming the foundation for the seasons to follow. Who knows, Cristiano Giuntoli will take them back to the glory days!
Juventus has a bigger opportunity and also more time to apply full focus to the Italian League this season and it would not be wrong for Juventus fans to hope for the Scudetto this season. Because being two points behind the League leaders is a very common thing and it is still possible for Juventus to catch up as long as Inter Milan draws or loses in one of the upcoming matches. Today Napoli can be considered a tough opponent, but Napoli this season is not much better than Juventus so there is a possibility for Juventus to win a lot at home today.

Judging from the performance of Copenhagen at home this season's Uefa Champions League, I think Copenhagen will be the one to advance to the next round of the Uefa Champions League. Copenhagen came from behind to beat Manchester United 4-3 at home. Galatasaray will find it difficult to win Copenhagen at home.
In the Champions League, anything unexpected can happen, especially since it is the last match before qualifying for the round of 16 where generally all teams will try to get their best results in that match. Everyone may assume that Copenhagen is stronger at home, but that doesn't mean the opposing team will be weak enough when competing at Copenhagen's home ground. So this may just be an assumption because Galatasaray can also win that match with the abilities they currently have.
255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: December 08, 2023, 01:57:44 PM
Not only Honda but also Yamaha completely overslept the development in the area of aerodynamics, all European manufacturers were simply better. In addition, Yamaha also has a weak engine that they never got any further in terms of performance.
Lin Jarvis himself, who is still the boss at Yamaha, has also admitted that their current disadvantage is that they have not developed their engines in the last few years, which has resulted in their riders complaining and not being able to unleash their true potential. This is certainly quite crucial for Asian manufacturers such as Honda and Yamaha because these two manufacturers are starting to find it difficult to balance their performance with other European motorbikes.

Quote
And yes, it will be difficult for both of them, although they will benefit greatly from the new concession system and will also be allowed to develop the engine further, but without these concessions they would never make it to the top again.
I also think like that, because Honda and Yamaha will really take advantage of this advantage next season in order to be able to compete again with European motorbikes which are generally quite strong at the moment and this is coupled with updates that will continue to be carried out by manufacturers such as Aprilia, Ducati and KTM next season.
256  Economy / Economics / Re: New business idea. on: December 07, 2023, 04:00:11 PM
I admit that it is a very good idea to develop, but I think the sales targeting should be among the middle to upper level, and it would be more effective if the promotion was to those with high incomes, and usually they will consider the quality of food/drinks including raw materials such as OP said that the oil is made from peanuts which are superior in terms of quality.
Marketing and sales targets must actually be carried out evenly, although business people must also consider certain groups for this. Because buyers from the lower class also want to buy goods or food of good quality even though this is only done occasionally in their lives. This means that business people must not forget about any circles that can be used as sales targets because business will also develop more when there are more buyers from all circles for certain products.
257  Economy / Speculation / Re: What did you think will happen to Bitcoin before January? on: December 07, 2023, 03:40:02 PM
I think Bitcoin will still rise in January, and start to fall in February to March, and when the halving starts, because everyone will dump first and buy at the bottom again.
but my predictions could be wrong.who knows Grin
There is no problem with you thinking like that because price speculation arises from our own thoughts, although each person must not forget things that happen very often in the market. In January, there is indeed a possibility for Bitcoin to continue to increase, but at the moment I still don't think that this will happen significantly. Likewise with the following month, we cannot provide more responses because we still have to see market conditions in January first.
258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 07, 2023, 03:22:05 PM
Inter is looking really good this season. Juventus is probably the second best still. They will have to improve their performance to actually get on the first position of the table. And by the looks of it, it is going to be hard because Inter is not going to make it easy for them at all. But I expect Juventus to start performing better because they do not have any pressure from other competitions as you said. So it should not be a big problem for them in my opinion to actually improve their performance further.
The season is still long and there are still many matches that will be played by these two teams so I am also quite confident that Juventus will continue to perform quite well this season in Serie A. Because apart from Juventus not having pressure in other competitions, Juventus will also not ignoring every opportunity they could take advantage of this season to continue chasing Inter Milan at the top of the current standings. Even though Inter Milan itself is still performing quite well so far, if one of the key players is injured, I doubt Inter Milan will continue to improve as it is now.
259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: December 07, 2023, 03:11:43 PM
It's true what you say. I think United would be better off focusing on getting a place in the top four to get a ticket to the Champions League next season. Currently they are in 6th place in the standings and they still have a very big chance of doing that. I'm not sure if they can qualify for the UEFA Europa League. And if you look at United's current quality I think it's better for them to stay focused on the EPL.
Trying to get to the top four in the Premier League will also not be easy this season, unless the Manchester United team has a new breakthrough in the way they play. Because in general Manchester United still has a lot to improve this season and they also still need to buy better players when the transfer market opens again so that they have different strengths after that.

Quote
Many fans are urging club management to replace Ten Hag. It seems like they have given the coach many opportunities. I don't know what considerations the club management had in mind when deciding to keep Ten Hag.
Maybe the club management is looking at who is worthy to coach Manchester United, because currently Manchester United not only lacks tactics, but also lacks the best players so that Manchester United is only able to win narrowly and with certain teams, such as when facing Chelsea. Meanwhile, with a stronger team, they are likely to always lose this season.
260  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: December 07, 2023, 02:10:15 PM
If the Pramac team gets back the current specs like the factory team (in 2023, as you wrote, Pramac and the factory team had the same specs, I don't know about possible updates during the season, and all the other teams had 2022 specs), all the teams with the 2023 specs will probably get very competitive and tested bikes.
This is still possible to happen, but as seen last season or the 2023 season, Ducati itself always develops its motorbikes every season, so they also have a special agreement regarding providing motorbike specs when purchased by their own customer teams, as in three satellite teams owned by Ducati this season where Pramac gets a share of motorbike specs that are no different from the factory motorbike specs. So there is a possibility that something like that will happen again next season where the Gresini team and Rossi team will get the Gp23 spec and the Pramac team will get the Gp24 spec, although during the test there will definitely be many changes made by each team.

Quote
It will be very difficult for Marini, Honda did not achieve much with Marc in the last 2 years and development was probably the reason why Marc changed. Marini won't be able to have much influence on the development of the current Honda for next year, so hopefully Mir has done some good groundwork.
Mir also does not have any further ability to develop Honda motorbikes during the 2023 season even though Honda itself still has high hopes for Mir to make Honda motorbikes more competitive because Santi Hernandez will handle Mir next season. Meanwhile, Marini will indeed have difficulty understanding Honda motorbikes, but that doesn't mean we have to immediately judge him as bad because he has just tried a Honda motorbike.
