441  Economy / Economics / Re: Honda Now Accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum As Payment Methods on: October 04, 2023, 01:25:50 PM
As the Heading implies. Honda the giant of Japanese automobile now accept bitcoin and ethereum for payment through a third party partnership deal with a blockchain payment system called FCF Pay.
Honda not only taken the bold step of accepting crypto as payment option, also managed to expand their already huge user base with this important development.
I was also very surprised by this extraordinary big step from this Japanese manufacturer. Because Honda car products are already very well known and widespread in the world, this will probably make the Honda manufacturer even better and more famous after making their wish to accept payments in Bitcoin and Ethereum for their products.

With such an opportunity to spend btc to buy luxury cars-
*Will you be willing to spend your btc to buy car from Honda? Or any other automobile company that will follow the Honda's part?
This depends on each person's personal use of the Bitcoin they already have. Because if someone's affection for Bitcoin is very big, I think it will always be difficult for that person to exchange Bitcoin for anything, including luxury cars. However, this decision that has been made by Honda will probably be followed by their competitors in the future in order to continue competing in a healthy way, because Honda has many competitors in terms of luxury car production.

Quote
*Which other automobile company would you want to also accept btc for payment?
I prefer Mitsubishi and Toyota, because these two manufacturers also often make very attractive luxury cars so it would be very interesting if these two car manufacturers wanted to follow in Honda's footsteps in terms of accepting Bitcoin and Ethereum as payment methods.

Quote
*Is this news big enough to trigger market uptrend in the coming weeks, months?
It could be that it will trigger a good wave in the market for Bitcoin, but for now I'm just surprised by this news and don't remember the price of Bitcoin which might have a good effect on increasing prices in the market. But if the news could be a good trigger for a price increase, I would also be quite happy to see it and most other people would probably also be very happy with this news if the price increase could actually occur in the near future because of this.

Whales have been accumulating below the 20k level. Where did you obtain this information about a potential surge in price for the coming weeks? This is weird because what i am anticipating more fud about binance to make the sentiment negative. This can be a collaboration between Blackrock and the SEC. They have already taken legal action against the biggest crypto exchange in the world.
That's a little strange because I also don't think that in the near future there will be a price spike in Bitcoin. Maybe everyone has also seen how Bitcoin experienced a slight price spike in the market recently, but it was still not enough for Bitcoin to return to $30K which still indicates that a large increase is still quite difficult to occur in this near future. Moreover, if the sentiment regarding the Binance commotion is still ongoing and has not ended, it will clearly have a big influence on the effect of the increase which may still be difficult for Bitcoin to occur.

Why do we assume Mbappe will join Real Madrid? Despite his desire to play there, would La Liga be as exciting without Messi and Ronaldo every week? He has proved that he is determined to win the Champions League, which PSG, even with Neymar, Messi, and himself, couldnt achieve. Still, thinking about him playing in the EPL, where the competition is stiff and the weather is so different from Parisian nights, makes me laugh.
Regardless of anyone's assumptions about this, if Mbappe wants to win titles in the domestic league and Champions League next season. So Real Madrid is the more appropriate team for him in that regard, even though other teams are also more appropriate, such as several teams in the EPL. However, considering the competition and the very different weather as you said, the consideration might be quite correct if Mbappe wants to choose Real Madrid as the team that will make his career even more brilliant than it is now.

The opportunity is still there, but if we look at Manchester United's current performance, I am very pessimistic about them being able to qualify from the group.
I see that Manchester United's defeat was inseparable from the mistakes made by Onana, even Casemiro's red card was also Onana's mistake which made Casemiro make this mistake.
There is no one to blame, especially if it is only for one of the players. Because in general Manchester United really needs a new strategy so that Manchester United can become better and can take advantage of the opportunities that still exist. Because they have played twice in the Champions League group, Manchester United still haven't got any points because of Manchester United's continued defeats.

Quote
And although Onana cannot be blamed alone, because of the blunders he made, all Manchester United players played very badly. I don't know how Ten Hag can make this team recover, but with so many Manchester United players injured, it is almost impossible for him to do it. make this team recover in the near future.
The difficulty in making a comeback at Manchester United is due to the fact that there are still injured players, but Ten Hag cannot make that the reason at this time. Because he is in charge of training all the players in the team, Ten Hag must be able to provide the best way to all the players so that Manchester United can achieve better performance than before.

but even though in the qualifying session he was in second place, in the racing session he was disqualified and bagnia finished in 15th place. so there is still a possibility that bagnia will win the race in mandalika if he can organize his strategy well.
This season's Mandalika MotoGP race might be very different from last year if the track conditions were dry, and today I saw that several riders had arrived in Bali for racing purposes, but because some of them arrived early, maybe they could use a little time for vacation and have fun there before Friday. I predict that the competition between Bagnaia and Martin will continue to be fierce like this until the end of the season because these two riders use motorbikes with the same specs even though their teams are different.

Quote
and for márquez i am also happy that finally the honda racer was able to get on the podium even though he was only in 3rd place. however, from the rumors i heard that márquez will move to gresini and that will be announced at the mandalika race later. even though this news is still a rumor, it is very strong, and i would really regret it if márquez really left honda.
Rumors about Marquez's move from Honda to Gresini racing have actually been very widespread since two weeks ago. It's just because there is no basic certainty from Marquez's side, certain media owners continue to make this news even more exciting, so even until the Mandalika race, the media will continue to wait for it. It's fun to wait for confirmation because Marquez himself still has a contract with Honda until the end of next season, so Marquez will have to pay something if he actually moves to Gresini Racing next season.
446  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will there be a boom again? on: October 03, 2023, 12:14:26 PM
The market is difficult to predict and in my opinion a boom can happen at any time even though the market looks sluggish, the prediction that the market will rise at the end of the year because at the beginning of 2024 there will be a halving day certainly means we have to be patient and wait.
If the market is difficult to predict, why are you even talking about predicting an increase in prices at the end of this year on the grounds of halving? Actually, what is difficult to predict is the rate of increase in the price of Bitcoin itself and the time of the increase too, so there are many people who still want to give advice to continue buying before the increase occurs because we all don't know when the price increase will occur in the market.

I think what you said above is also true, where farmers or those who work in other sectors also really hope for an active role from the government in providing financial support in the form of subsidies and equipment assistance to encourage their businesses and efforts so that they do not decline. works in place and is sustainable in the long term.
I think this is something that is done by the governments of each country, including in my country too. However, recipients of subsidies and assistance from the government must also use the assistance where they need it, lest they use it for other things or sell it for money. Because the intention of the government to help them as poor people is to run their business smoothly so that they can continue to produce harvests from their own agriculture so they also have to look after it well for their own lives.

Quote
Monopoly activities are indeed illegal and unhealthy, but there are also negative impacts that are also felt indirectly, namely the potential loss of jobs in the process, which is exactly the same as what @Text means if I look at it from that point of view.
Bad activities should actually be eliminated if the government still really cares about the welfare of its people. Because the government, apart from having to be able to create good potential for its people, must also be able to maintain every activity that is good for its people and continue to follow up on activities that are not good for agriculture and its people.
448  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: October 02, 2023, 07:09:10 AM
Bagnaia should be conservative to say the least after what he has suffered.He has the example of Marquez who despite crashing constantly got back to racing to have real damage to him for racing and not doing well from quite a lot of time now.
The accidents that happened to Bagnaia and Marquez were so different that I would not assume that Bagnaia also suffered like what Marquez experienced throughout this season. Because in terms of health, I think Bagnaia is fine and so is Marquez, but the difference here is the motorbike they ride so they always have very different final results in every race that has taken place this season.

Quote
He,Bagnaia with just a bit of luck can get this Championship in MotoGP but as I said he should not go over his capabilities otherwise he risks to crash again and this can lead to more problems so it will be really interesting how this remaining races of MotoGP develop and the competition will be fierce that's for sure.
With the points gap being as close as it is now between Bagnaia and Martin, the competition in MotoGP actually looks quite fierce again with only six races remaining. Now Bagnaia only needs to think about finishing ahead of Martin in order to maintain the points distance even though he also has to consider the risk of falling during the race, because I don't think Bagnaia's mentality has dropped yet to continue trying his best in every remaining race this season.
449  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: October 02, 2023, 06:14:00 AM
martin and bagnia are only 3 points apart at the moment, which is a very small gap. if bagnia is unable to win first place in the upcoming mandalika race, it is certain that bagnia will lose his first place to martin. and it is possible that martin will be the winner this year if we look at how martin has performed in the last few races.
After the Mandalika Indonesia race, there are still five races remaining in this season and this is still an opportunity for Bagnaia to block Martin's pace and again make up the points gap this season. So it's still too early to conclude about losing the championship this season for Bagnaia because currently there are still six more races for Bagnaia to collect as many points as he can, although other possibilities can still happen and it's not just for one rider.

Pecco Bagnaia was lucky. He could still finish second because he is usually not good on wet tracks.
And the possibility of Jorge Martin overtaking Pecco Bagnaia in the Top 1 of the 2023 MotoGP World Championship standings in Mandalika is very possible.
In last year's race, Martin was very competitive in Mandalika. He finished second in qualifying.
It will be exciting to see the competition between the two drivers in the remainder of this season.
It seems like you only saw qualifying at Mandalika last year, because when the race was finished there was no Jorge Martin's name in the top 10 or even in the top 15 last year at Mandalika. So how do you conclude that he was very competitive last year, when he didn't score any points in last year's Mandalika race? You can read it here: databoks and detik.com

By the way, I am happy with the results achieved by Marc Marques in Motegi. The Baby Aliens is back Cool
This even made me have to laugh because throughout this season Marc Marques suffered a lot on his Honda motorbike, but when he was fortunate by the Red Flag and got third place on the podium, you could say the Baby Aliens is back Cheesy. It seems like you rarely watch MotoGP races this season so it's easier to draw conclusions that I think are less than logical.
450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: September 30, 2023, 07:27:53 AM
Jorge Martin from the Pramac Racing team was unstoppable in the Japanese MotoGP Sprint Race today and even Brad Binder from the KTM factory was unable to catch him after approaching Jorge Martin in the early laps of the Sprint Race. Meanwhile, Bagnaia almost didn't get third place on the podium in today's Sprint Race because there was a fight with Jack Miller, and I saw that the Twing Ring Motegi circuit was sometimes a bit difficult for riders to overtake if the number of laps was small. Tomorrow's main race will probably be much fiercer than today's Sprint race because the number of laps will be greater and hopefully the conditions will not be much different from today.

If we are talking about investing in Bitcoin, I don't think we will have any problem there; instead, the only thing I see that is problematic here is that the government is still thinking about how they can control it, but they also know the answer in this matter is that it is not possible no matter what else they do.
The government must change its mindset if it wants to adopt Bitcoin as other countries have done, because there is no way to control Bitcoin like they control fiat money in their respective countries. Each country's government can still exert their control over fiat and continue to use it as usual when they have adopted Bitcoin, so when they already believe in Bitcoin, it doesn't mean they have to immediately forget about the fiat they have used for a long time in everything.

Quote
That's why the government can only adopt or recognize Bitcoin or not recognize it, and if they do that, they will for sure be abandoned by other countries that will recognize it. It's that simple.
This is indeed quite simple, but sometimes the ego of the government which continues to maintain its own ideas without changing their mindset towards Bitcoin is still an obstacle for most governments. So until now there are still many countries that have not adopted Bitcoin payments even though several countries have not banned Bitcoin from being used for transactions and also as in life.
452  Economy / Economics / Re: If They Can Pay off their Debts, Why Don't They? on: September 29, 2023, 03:43:07 PM
If printing lots of money is the best way to pay off debt, then Zimbabwe is the most successful country. The simple version is that the more money that is printed, the cheaper the price of the currency. If we talk about debt, all countries have debt, it is necessary to improve facilities and infrastructure. In this case it includes aspects (infrastructure, education and health).

And when the value of the currency falls because more money has been printed, debt repayment will also be much more complicated because the amount of debt will never fall as the value of the currency does. In fact, most debts also have interest which must ultimately be paid, so printing more money to pay off the debt is not a wise option because basically it can disrupt the value of the currency itself. Not to mention that each country also has special regulations regarding printing money so that they don't face new problems that could arise as a result of this.

America always benefits more when many countries still use USD for everything, whether through business aspects or through other aspects related to currency. Currently the USD is still quite well known globally and I think most countries need to compete with it so that other currencies can also become more famous as has happened to the USD now.
453  Economy / Economics / Re: marry rich: marry fiat rich or crypto rich, which is better? on: September 29, 2023, 03:29:33 PM
It will not last long if the marriage is based on material things, where there will be conflict later when the finances are no longer stable and the wealth previously owned will become a demand.
Now wealth in material form has become the main thing that everyone continues to look at so that there is no longer a feeling of wanting to build it together when someone wants to get married. Indeed, what you say is not wrong because I also often see many couples who end up divorcing after they continue to have difficulty meeting their increasing living needs. But there are also quite a few married couples who are able to survive and continue to struggle not to separate in difficult conditions like now, because they always look for solutions together when facing problems and don't really care about the wealth they have spent together through life.

Quote
When I have to choose between the two, on the contrary, I prefer FIAT rich people, where the results of their wealth are real and can be developed in various other businesses and one of them will be used as an investment asset in crypto.
This means that you also really like these two things in your life, so that after you choose to be rich in fiat you still like to choose crypto investment even though your efforts to get it are only through fiat. And in essence, people who are rich in crypto are also preferred and paid attention to by many people because now crypto can also be brought into business, be it everyday business or investment business with long-term targets. So whatever you choose will always be good and will not be wrong.
454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: September 29, 2023, 03:09:26 PM
I'm sure City will be back-to-back champions this year. Madrid is indeed a strong team but this season they have performed slightly below their level. I don't know about Munich but currently City is too strong among other strong teams. They have everything. Genius coach, the best goal machine in Europe, and capable squad depth. They have many star players and I believe they will even achieve back-to-back treble winners.
In every season there will always be challenges so there is no easy thing in achieving the Treble Winners in a row by Manchester City even though the Manchester City team still has a goal machine and star players and a coach who is quite experienced this season. I also don't predict that Real Madrid will return to win a trophy in the Champions League this season because Madrid is in less than prime condition this season, although it still has to be reckoned with by its rivals in the Champions League.

It's hard to say with certainty that Manchester City will win again this season. Bayern are very strong now and Real Madrid are not as weak as expected after Benzema left. I think that everything will depend on who Manchester City will face in the playoff series. It could happen that they don't make it to the final.
I also think so, because this season Bayern Munich has become stronger than last season so there will be different competition this season, especially for the team that has the best squad. Bayern Munich and Real Madrid can still be a threat to Manchester City this season in the Champions League, but other teams can also provide the best surprises in the Champions League, such as AC Milan and Inter.

In the last race Bezzecchi was ahead of Bagnaia when he crashed, Baganaia probably wanted too much, so it would probably have been better to take home a safe 2nd place. But Bagnaia can prove again this weekend that he is still there and wants to defend the title. But the next few years will be interesting because Bezzecchi and Martin will continue to fight for the title.
Tomorrow I will also see two races in one day with very different times, because the race for MotoGp will be broadcast a little earlier than the WSBK race so I can watch both in one day and it will be very exciting to see how Bezzecchi and Martin fight in set the best time for tomorrow in qualifying and try to win the Sprint Race, although Bagnaia will probably also continue to enliven the competition at the front because he needs to create a gap with the two riders (Bezzecchi and Martin).

Quote
In Japan last year Bagnaia also dropped out, but Ducati is very strong on this circuit, as is KTM, so it will be exciting again, unfortunately getting up so early...
I will also wake up early to watch FP2 and qualifying because the time for the MotoGP event in Asia (especially Japan) is very different from the time in other countries. And I think all the European manufacturers will be quite strong at Motegi because they will all really take advantage of the straights that are available at the Twin Ring Motegi for tomorrow.
456  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does bitcoin price increase after halving? on: September 28, 2023, 10:27:42 AM
but 2018 is actually altcoin season mate? because the halving happens early 2017 and the effect really happens then , so in 2018 what we have are already done and yes there is a wrong expectation in 2018.
So what about 2021 mate? Is this year not included in the altcoin season? Because as far as I know, halving will also happen again before 2021, so the effect is much bigger than what you saw in 2018. And if you look at 2018 as a whole, I'm sure you also saw how the price decline of altcoins and Bitcoin occurred in 2018 and in my opinion it was also the worst price decline apart from what happened last year in all altcoins along with Bitcoin.
457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 28, 2023, 10:17:36 AM
They beat Juventus 4-2 last week, and this week they beat Inter 2-1 away. This Sassuolo is starting to become a very dangerous team. You have to be careful when encountering them. The interesting thing is that Sassuolo, which beat these big teams, lost to Frosinone. Serie A is a very strange league. Every team can beat each other.
As a result of Inter Milan's defeat at home, Inter Milan's points are now starting to equal AC Milan again after AC Milan managed to win at home to Cagliari. And not only that, currently the Serie A standings are starting to look fierce again with competition from teams that have the potential to range from the top five to the top of the standings. As for the Sassuolo team, I think the team just made an unexpected surprise when they faced Inter Milan and Juventus, because in general the Sassuolo team is still not that dangerous this season.

Osimhen means a lot to Napoli. The most important player in Napoli, which won the Scudetto last year, was undoubtedly Osimhen. Whoever needs to apologize would do well to apologize as soon as possible and try to contribute to the team together with Osimhen. Napoli don't need a crisis and that's the last thing they want.
Osimhen's contribution to Napoli is truly extraordinary and there is no doubt as seen last season when Napoli won the title in Serie A. However, this season Napoli still have to fight hard for this and at the start of next week or more precisely at the beginning of the month In the future, Napoli will also face quite a tough opponent in the Champions League, namely Real Madrid, so this means that Napoli may have a little difficulty getting a win even though the match takes place at their own home.
459  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: September 28, 2023, 05:03:01 AM
Bagnaia should be very careful right now and even be a rational rider rather than chasing the win.He should not only think about this season Championship but also for the upcoming one next year as another crash will not cost him only this title but most probably he will become like Marquez then,keep falling and crashing and the damage will be hard to recover.
This week the MotoGP race will take place in Japan where it is the host country for Honda and Yamaha manufacturers, but European manufacturers such as Ducati could also surprise there at the end of this week. Because looking at the track, it is very supportive for European manufacturers which in fact always rely on greater power in each race, apart from that there will also be test riders who will get wild cards such as test riders from the Yamaha factory with special liveries.

Quote
Based on this I think higher chances to win this season MotoGP are for the runners up as they have got nothing to lose,they are second and third and they can only gain if they push a little,of course they will take such risk as they have not had a bad crash as of yet.
My personal prediction is actually the same, but I look more towards fierce competition this season because Bagnaia will also continue to try to defend his title and continue to give his best in every race this season. All the riders are in Japan and we will see what the weather is like tomorrow for Practice1 to Practice2 because manufacturers like Honda will also work harder to be able to win at home even though so far Honda is not doing well.

Buy low, sell high is the ultimate strategy. Buy the Bitcoin when the price crashes ($15k to $20k) and sell when the price reaches ATH ($69k or above). And repeat the cycle.
Form profit, buy some more bitcoin when the price crashes after the pump, and invest the remaining in offline investments. Buy a property, Gold, Silver, Platinum, etc.

The strategy you say is a very general strategy and applies to everything or all assets that have value, such as Bitcoin. But what we have to understand is that not everyone can get the lowest possible price and sell at the highest possible price, except for people who continue to monitor the market with sufficient capital preparation when they want to buy at a low price.

And for investments such as property, Gold, Silver and Platinum, things are slightly different from Bitcoin investments because investors usually choose investments such as property, Gold, Silver and Platinum to maintain the value of their money so that it does not experience more depreciation. Whereas in Bitcoin, it is more about investing for large profits with a fairly balanced level of risk so that every investor must have sufficient patience when placing their money into Bitcoin.
