Finally we can see a big win for Napoli after a few matches at the beginning of the season until now they are playing like back to the factory suit where they have a lot of problems that make their performance drop drastically.
Today's unanimous win gives a lot of hope for their resurgent momentum to try and get back to Champions League or Europa League contention.
Osimhen scored a hat trick and Kvaratskhelia recorded a brace in today's match which adds to the hope that their attack is starting to improve again.
Although this result can't bring them to the top of the table, at least with this result Napoli can regain momentum so that their performance returns as before.
It seems that Calzona managed to do his best job to raise the enthusiasm of his players because in today match Napoli fell behind through Racic goal in the 17th minute. But this did not make the Napoli players suffer a setback because they managed to get up and launch many attacks where they were able to score 6 goals. With a pretty neat comeback, of course fans on social media gave Calzona a lot of praise.

Yes, Napoli hasn't scored a win with a big score for a long time and in today match we saw Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia managed to perform impressively, where osimhen scored 3 goals and kvaratskhelia scored 2 goals. If these two players continue to perform well, there is a big possibility that Napoli can return to their best ranking this season.

Even if I'm not in England but I can imagine how people are excited for this game between Manchester City and Manchester United. In fact, Manchester City is a team with many effective players in good form like Haaland and they have a coach like Guardiola.
Also, Manchester City has improved a lot after the bad performances they had at the start of the season while Manchester United is still not in the good form and this is the reason to say for this match we can maybe easily predict Manchester City winning the game and Ten Hag is going to be under pressure after this game.

So far, Manchester united has had difficulty beating Manchester city because statistically, Manchester united has only been able to achieve 1 win in 5 meetings against Manchester city. The enthusiasm of the supporters will certainly be able to raise enthusiasm for the players, but in this meeting I think Manchester city is really aiming to win to be able to overtake liverpool. For this reason, Manchester united has a relatively small chance of beating Manchester city.

Haaland showed his sharpness when Manchester city beat Luton, so in my opinion the Manchester city squad has good enough capital to beat Manchester united. With Manchester city consistency in the Premier League this season, I think they will make the most of this match to maintain their chances of putting strong pressure on liverpoll.

Some people do not start to think about selling their coins until they are 6-8 years or longer investing into bitcoin, and even then they might be a bit cautious about how many they start to sell.

Maybe you have been in bitcoin for nearly 2 cycles, but have you accumulated BTC during that time?  Have you beat the returns that you would have had gotten from merely accumulating and holding rather than trying to fuck around with selling and buying back lower?
That's quite a good point sir that if someone targets their investment in the long term and if they exit early then they have failed in their planning. I think time passes so fast because in 2022 when the market changes suddenly it becomes a big dump but gradually it passes so quickly. So I think the 10 year target is quite reasonable where we just need to be consistent in what we have done, namely buying and buying.

Yes, maybe those are 2 different cycles from what we are experiencing at the moment, where in 2022 there be a significant downward cycle and this year big changes occur where the up cycle will be our spectacle. So profits are visible in our portfolio, but that doesn't make us sell our BTC holdings because our target is not short term but long term. Well, if we sell and buy again, I think that's not our option because that is a trading method, but we choose a method for long-term investment

Inter has been steamrolling over the opponents and that does look like a bit of difficult situation to me, because nobody could catch up to them that is for sure but they are also tiring themselves at the league way too much as well.

I do not think that it would be too hard for them to recover from this, of course they are going to do better, but that doesn't mean that we are going to see them change anything anytime soon neither. We should consider them as a team who can afford to lose a few games and that should be the most important part. I believe that we need to do something a bit better, and that should be the most important thing, they can give it a bit of break and then they could focus on UCL a lot more that way.
Inter milan is so focused on achieving victory in every match they play. They are very hungry for the title and that is possible because the last time they won the Scudetto was in the 2020/2021 season and of course this season they want to win the Scudetto again and their opportunity is in sight. If you think their energy is very exhausted, but I don't think so because every victory they achieve is an encouragement for them. Tomorrow Inter milan will face Atalanta at the San Siro stadium where perhaps Inter milan will try to get 3 points.

Indeed, Inter milan points tally is far ahead of its closest rivals, but there are still many games left in the season so it is not safe enough for them. Even though their performance is quite good, I hope they continue to be consistent and achieve their target of becoming champions this season.

Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp have prepared themselves for the long run this season. The dates are approaching, and we're looking forward to seeing which clubs have developed to be competitive and strong enough to win big in matches. Manchester City does not welcome defeats lightly; they get desperate for wins even when they are not in a position to win big. These elite teams' matchups have become almost mandatory because winning is vital. The point differential between Liverpool and Manchester City is minimal, and we know how balanced both teams have evolved to be in the space.
The two top coaches in the Premier League will meet each other this March, precisely on the 10th, where the match between Liverpool vs Manchester city will be a big stage in showing how skilled these two coaches are in bringing their teams to become champions this season. But apart from that, their match is still long and both teams have other matches they have to play before they meet later.

I admit that Pep and Kloop have a good relationship between the two of them and maybe this is Kloop last match with Liverpool this season because at the end of the season he officially resigned as Liverpool coach. For this reason, Kloop will try to bring liverpool to win the match against Manchester city, especially since liverpool will play at home, perhaps they have big ambitions to beat Manchester city in front of their supporters.

You guys are still  getting it wrong, you guys should change your concept of what a dip is, a dip is any price under the last ATH of bitcoin and investing now is still a very good dip. Those that invested as low as 35k and you investing all of you bought on dip and what really matter isn't when you bought but how you hold, can you hold long enough to build 3nough compounding value on your portfolio.
If you see a big cycle or a significant downturn in 2022 then you can calculate what opportunities you have at that time. Well, I always give advice to eliminate doubts when you press the buy button. All of this has been proven now where many of them regret delaying their purchase. So what we want now is a big pump and this is not all because of timing but it is time for us to witness Bitcoin record a new ATH.

yeah you are right is still a good time to invest in Bitcoin (expecially those who are planning to hold for long-term). Well recently hit $57k and went back to price range of $56k. But those that invested early will have higher chances of making good profits ( most of us that have some quantity of Bitcoin are in good profit 😊recently) due to bitcoin recent price movement. And we all know that this just the starting so let's keep our DCAing on. Because there's still alot of breakthrough bitcoin got to undergo like reaching $100k+ and more.
Every time is the right choice to continue accumulating Bitcoin because if it is a long-term target then there are no words to interpret the price when making a Purchase. Continuing to buy and doing it according to the plan that you have set is certainly better than continuing to postpone the purchase. Well, I say that the DCA Strategy is quite effective in finding the cheapest price because of our routine of continuing to buy bitcoin from stage to stage.

I also don't like investing in bitcoin on somebody's behalf. I don't want to lose my sleep unnecessarily because I invested in bitcoin on someone's behalf. I do same thing as you by sharing the knowledge they need to start their investment. Of course every investment has it's own risk and I understand that bitcoin comes with it's risks. One thing about investment is, without risk there is no profitability. But one thing we have to know about investment is this, "the higher the risk, the higher the profitability. So without risk there is no investment.
I don't really understand what you are saying but what is clear for now we continue to buy bitcoin because we are still quite early in a long-term investment. For this reason, we have nothing to think about other than continuing to buy and hold. So, if you say there is a risk, of course it is there, but you should know that if you hold Fiat, that is also a risk, isn't it?

In fact, both of them didn't play very well, Napoli and Barcelona didn't seem to finish their match as expected.
Napoli in the home match was unable to win and Barcelona, which was clearly team with much better performance than Napoli, could only survive draw.
Last season we could see Barcelona performing very well but now they have to face quite difficult conditions to become strong team.
I agree with you that Barcelona has defense that is not very good and in every match Barcelona always concedes goals from the opposing team.
What do you mean, it's not as expected?  I mean both teams have had some lackluster rallies this season and a draw is probably a very fair result for both teams. Apart from that, the second leg will be more interesting because Napoli status as a visiting team means they have to perform better if they want to win. Teams from Serie A often provide obstacles to teams from Laliga representatives so it is not surprising that the second leg match will be full of surprises. Indeed, Napoli is not very strong this season, but if Osimhen is again wild in scoring goals, it is possible that Barcelona will fall in the round of 16.

I still support Barcelona to win the second leg but because their performance is less stable, I doubt they will be able to finish the second leg easily. Lewandowksi is our hope because he is one of the players who is full of experience in the Champions League and I hope he can find his sharpness to score goals and give us victory.

I partially disagree with you that most of the bitcoins that would be out of circulation would be as a result of the demise of some holders of bitcoin. There are thousands of people holding bitcoin, and no one is foolish enough to think that he would not have any preparation for securing his bitcoin for his heirs to inherit. At least not in this era, so many solutions have been brought to harness this situation of losing funds after the death of someone. Many bitcoin wallets have been dormant but were later considered to be lost. Yet after ten years, we would see a transaction taking place in that wallet. How come? Maybe someone found out the lost or hidden key phrase.

In the future one main thing that will reduce circulation is mass adoption and holding long encouragement. Imagine if 25% of the global circulation buys bitcoin; there will not be enough to circulate if this set of people and the previous investors hold their coins for 10 years or more. There will be a very high demand for bitcoin but no one will accept to selK. This will cause to the increase in value.
It's up to you how you react to it, but I think some people forget or delay telling their family that they invested in Bitcoin and suddenly they died. then his family certainly couldn't access his btc if he didn't tell them his private wallet key. In this case, I saw several articles which stated that several large BTC holders had died, but I didn't know in detail that the BTC holders did not leave their private keys to their families. So, for that reason, let's just take the point that BTC circulation will disappear because of those who die or those who can't access their wallet because the private key is lost.

So what is the advantage of all of this?

One of the advantages is that the coins of all of the remaining holders become more valuable when fewer coins are available / accessible (lost).  Sure the disadvantage to the family or the potential heirs, but it is not necessarily obvious that the heirs deserved the BTC more than the overall bitcoin community.  Some people could purposefully die with their coins because they would like to overall give to the whole bitcoin community rather than giving their coins to a presumptive heir.  So there could be a question regarding whether the passing down of the coins to the whole bitcoin community was done on purpose or accidentally, but bitcoin does not care, because if those coins are not recoverable, then bitcoin has just become more scarce.

Of course, the smaller the circulation and the increased adoption or the more people who invest in Bitcoin, the more visible the opportunity is for a significant price jump. I hope you understand what I am clear about and that there are no stupid people in this developing era, but please know that sometimes it is their carelessness that loses their assets, such as storing the private key incorrectly.

Yep was it a mistake or on purpose, and since bitcoin cannot figure it out the difference, there is no recovery of the coins.

~~
If you spend, 10 to 20 to 30 years investing into bitcoin, and if you start out with bitcoin as your only investment, surely in the first 5-10 years there may be periods in which you might feel that you are not making progress, but then at some point you might start to feel that you have enough BTC,. and even if you are not quite at the level in which you are going to want to start to cash out some of your BTC, you might at least start to choose to invest into other things so that you feel less overexposed to bitcoin.

And mostly HOLDing through a period in which BTC prices go way up and way down takes a bit of commitment to the idea that it is just better to mostly be HOLDing.  You likely have to have systems in place that allow you to do such a thing, and there are quite a few bitcoiners who are similar to me, and some of them were on this forum complaining that they did not sell more during the peak.. so sometimes there can be some regrets about missing such BIG trade opportunities, but even if you sell, you could end up selling too soon and then also not really know how to play it.. when to buy back and how to buy back, so it surely can be difficult to get anywhere close to the top in terms of selling and to get anywhere near the bottom in terms of using those proceeds to buy back.... so sometimes there can be more comfort in terms of not even trying to play those kinds of games with your BTC, unless you are just using a small portion of your BTC to do that, but at the same time, if you have not reached your accumulation target, it makes even less sense to be selling if you feel that you don't yet have enough BTC.
Yes, as long as there is no urgent need, of course it is better to continue holding. Indeed, 30 years is a long time and perhaps no one knows our future fate.

If you get into bitcoin and you are in your early 20s, you may well already consider that your timeline might be able to be longer, but yeah if you come into bitcoin and you are already in your mid 40s you might consider that you might not want to have a timeline that is more than 20 years..

Of course there can be all kinds of variations, and even if you invest with a long timeline, you are not locked into the funds, so even if you might treat it as a retirement fund (or a fuck you status fund), but if you are able to achieve a level of financial wealth that allows you to start to withdraw from the funds and to have more options, then you will likely be grateful for that.. and if you are investing $10 per week and 1 year is $520 and 10 years is $5,200 and 30 years is $15,600, you may well not have a lot of funds?  We cannot know for sure if BTC might go up in value a lot after you invested in it or maybe it goes up while you are investing so you don't have as much of your value that experiences the compounding effects because you are investing such small amounts.

It seems that if you have reached satisfaction, there will be an option to cash out and maybe it will only be a small amount without having to sell everything. Personally, the bitcoin investment journey is like drinking coffee every day where I keep doing it to keep buying and holding it.

Of course you have total optionality to cash out as soon as you want, to and there are a lot of people who end up cashing out way too many bitcoin too soon and then they regret it later, and maybe you will become one of them.  It is your choice and you have to live with the consequences.. and sometimes BTC holder/accumulators cash out for some relatively small amount, and then the BTC shot up 20x and they could have cashed out 20x higher, but they did not have patience.. so that is their problem.. and sometimes it had even been like 200x or more higher that they could have had received, but they were happy with their profits and they cashed out.. yeah.. its their choice and they do not recognize and appreciate the mistake until later, but sometimes they recognize and appreciate the mistake, but they keep doing the same thing..
This should be an important thing for us and should also be our priority if the investment we make in Bitcoin is known to our family and one option is to trust them to access our wallet when we are dead. It's true that no one wants death, but it will happen and we don't know when it will happen. Of course, passing it on to the community is something only Satoshi can do and other people might find it difficult to do.

There is no recovery that can be done other than the coin disappearing from circulation. discussing this issue, of course Bitcoin could reach $500k if shortages continue to occur every year. it's not impossible but we need time to see it. My confidence is growing in all possible aspects that one day Bitcoin will become a very valuable asset compared to other investments.

Maybe you are right, I have to take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy the benefits that exist someday. Of course I need to give vent to my lust to buy an item that might be a dream for now. life is only a moment and yes I will definitely take advantage but maybe not for now. The way to implement long-term investments may vary, where some start with $10 or $30 from the start so that their target is quite far away, namely 30 years in the future.

That's a very good suggestion sir  Grin. Of course we want to have a Lambo that is synonymous with success if you look at the things published on social media lol

Apart from that, all the targets we want are success in the future and here we start and are ready to provide encouragement to beginners so that their enthusiasm grows to continue to Hold.

Mauricio Pochettino needs to be sack because there's no evidence of the coach's progress. They're reluctant in one's position, they're failing to make the big moves. I'm Chelsea fan and I'm sad because my team is finished. There's nothing good about the team this current season, you can't tell me they can handle Liverpool B team at wembley. This was one of the worst game for the Blues this season, they missed out good chances of goal opportunities but turning to Liverpool B team, they made everyone proud with their stellar performance against Blues.

Jurgen Klopp is an intellectual coach, I will keep saying it because he beats every Chelsea coach he meets, either in league or in grand finals. Jurgen Klopp can easily win Chelsea because he knows the weaknesses of the club, no relenting efforts but grab the important points, his player, Van Dijk was present where they needed him at appropriate time. Liverpool goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher saved the day with his brilliant saves, he denied the Blues numerous chances of goal scoring, so he deserves his flowers. I'm highly dissapointed in the Blues, they should ensure they made rights for their wrongs.
Even though you mentioned Liverpool B here, there is some truth in that, meaning several key Liverpool players missed this match due to injury. Yes, Chelsea couldn't take advantage of that situation because the Carabao Cup final was one of the opportunities they had to win a trophy but they failed to do so. For this reason, I think Pochettino has failed greatly in making Chelsea stronger this season.

If you want dismissal, it might come true. But I hope Chelsea management can be patient in the process of building a stronger squad and Pochettino does not have to be fired but he must be given support for the next 1 season in his performance as Chelsea coach. For Liverpool, they are certainly very happy today because they managed to become champions, so their next focus is to perform better in the Premier League and also focus on the European League.

But in this case we must also be aware that with what KDB is showing now then leaving early to the SPL with his current performance which is still very feasible in the big leagues in Europe it will be a wrong decision for KDB because after all for now we must be aware that currently KDB is still a good attacking motor for Manchester City and if you really want to leave I think there must be a better club than for the SPL.

Its not wrong to want to go to the SPL because there will definitely be big money that he will get in terms of salary but we can be sure that it will also make his popularity different.The SPL is indeed a good destination for athletes now where money can flow easily but for a player whose career is quite good like KDB at the moment then moving to the SPL in a hurry I think it is an inappropriate decision.
Well, looking at the rumors currently developing, it is true that Kevin De Bruyne has been linked a lot about his future in joining a Saudi Arabian league team. Several big teams in the Saudi Arabian league are interested in Kevin, so it is very likely that this rumor will come true at the end of this season. But for now, of course, this is still speculation because we can see that he is still quite needed by the Manchester City squad and it is very likely that he will stay with Manchester City for a long time.

However, if Manchester City chooses to sell Kevin De Bruyne in the next summer transfer window, of course they will get quite a big profit. But Manchester City finances are healthy enough that I don't think they will be tempted by a tempting offer from a Saudi Arabian league team. If Kevin De Buyne leaves, of course Manchester City will have to find another player who is of the same quality as Kevin.

Newcastle was under pressure throughout the first half and they conceded 2 goals to Arsenal. Eddie Howe made several changes to his strategy and made his team's performance in the second half a little better. Newcastle started to find opportunities and tried to do something to score goals. But Arsenal's good defense can still prevent it.

In the last few meetings, there have been unique things that may need attention. Whoever scores the first goal between Newcastle and Arsenal will win the match. Newcastle may have to end the match with a defeat and they failed to score.
It can be said that Arsenal will win today match because they are already leading the match with a 4-0 lead. There is no chance for Newcastle United to score a goal in this match because it is difficult for them to penetrate Arsenal strong defense. The three teams at the top of the standings managed to win this week and Aston Villa also managed to return to the top 4. If you look at Arsenal game in this match, they were very enthusiastic in this match. because they continuously made many attack attempts which made Newcastle United fail to maintain their defense well.

Howe needs better improvement if they are to make a difference to their performance this season. Yes, even though their status is a rich team, they don't make great recruitments in the transfer market which can help the team. In today match it was clear that their performance was very poor and they were not able to show their best game.

Sevilla will be a bonus for Real Madrid tomorrow, Madrid will not like to lose or draw against Sevilla because they drew their last game, and they need to give Girona a big gap so that even if they draw in some matches, Girona will not be able to catch them in the league table. Anyone who bets against Sevilla tomorrow will lose his money because Sevilla are not in good shape to challenge Real Madrid this season, but anything can happen and you can't predict football anytime, the team that you didn't expect will win match they will get the opportunity and win.The team that you didn't expect to win the match will get the opportunity and win.

If anyone wants to bet on Sevilla, he should bet with small funds to reduce his risk because Sevilla's winning percentage is only 10%, and Real Madrid is playing at home. Ancelotti will not want to lose this opportunity because Madrid failed to perform well in their last game, and I know Ancelotti has already fixed the problem that make them share the same point in there last match.
Actually, I'm quite sure that Real madrid will be able to win tomorrow match against sevilla. some strong confidence of course because Real madrid is playing at home and also Sevilla performance in the season is not very good so this will be quite profitable for Real madrid to get full points. In terms of the performance of these two teams in Laliga, Real madrid is of course very good because they managed to lead the standings with a big advantage over their closest rivals. For this reason, I think Bellingham and Vini will cause problems for sevilla defense in tomorrow match.

For Sevilla, this match is quite important for them to get points, even though it is quite impossible for them to do so because their opponents are quite strong, but if they are consistent I think they can achieve a draw. Well, on the other hand, Girona was overtaken by Barcelona in Week 26 where barcelona rose to 2nd place after winning full points against Getafe. If girona is unable to return to winning ways, I think their ranking will become increasingly unsafe from the pressure of teams below their ranking.

Targeting big profits in investments is normal and many of us want to achieve big profits someday. The twists and turns of our investment journey certainly have many obstacles and that is a struggle that we must go through to achieve success in Bitcoin investment. I also want to change my fate to live more frugally in order to be able to accumulate bitcoin more aggressively this year.

When I got started in bitcoin, I had projected out a 6% return per year, and surely it took more than 3 years before BTC prices were higher than my 6% per year projection.. because the BTC price corrected, and it took more than 3 years to get back to where I initially projected where the BTC price might be in 3 years... so I was largely wrong in my projection, but that meant that I accumulated way more bitcoin than I thought that I was going to be able to accumulate, and so even after the three years the BTC price ended up going up nearly another 15x and then correcting back down to something like 3x above my projected price point...

so one thing that could end up happening  is that the price goes up, and then you hope that the price goes up after you had been spending time accumulating, but even if it does not, if you still have confidence in the investment, you should still be ongoingly, persistently and consistently accumulating.. in order to help you towards accumulating more BTC..

and part of the reason that you do it ongoingly, persistently and consistently is because you do not know where the price is going to go.. or how long it might take to get there, but if you have a 4-10 year or longer investment time horizon, then you could still make progress, and surely if a price rise had not come in 4 years, then maybe you would keep buying and your time horizon continues to move out from each of your buys... and if your time gets shorter than 4 years, then maybe you stop buying or in some other way adjust your buying amounts downwardly in order to account for the fact that you no longer have a 4-year or longer investment time horizon.

Halving is so close.
Even though our target is for long-term investment, we are of course waiting for the halving moment because it happens every 4 years. They would have made many achievements if they had invested early in Bitcoin because of every halving, of course they would have welcomed it with joy. The price issue is not something we want to talk about, but please know that this year's Bitcoin miners will get smaller rewards. from there, make the best possible use of the opportunity we have to keep buying and buying because there are only 21 million bitcoin. which will become increasingly rare because many are lost from circulation such as their owners passing away or they don't save their private key so they can't access their Btc holdings.

I agree.  The halvening is a technological marvel.   And the fact that there are only 21 million BTC is a technological marvel, and we know that inevitably a lot of folks are losing access to their coins and are going to continue to lose access to their coins.. whether it is death and lack of properly passing them down or other ways that people lose their coins and the coins are gone forever into a donation towards everyone else who continue to hold coins.
That's a good journey from the investment you have made where price rises and falls are not an obstacle for you to hold BTC in the long term. For those of me who are still too early in long-term investment, I will apply each stage to continue buying Bitcoin. I will probably measure the average entry when I reach my target in long-term investment, maybe in the next 10 years. Indeed, at the moment I am a little lucky if I look at my initial period because I bought at a price below $20k when Bitcoin fell significantly in the previous year, which would have been a very beautiful moment for me. When my long-term journey is finished, maybe I will still win Bitcoin because Bitcoin will have quite fantastic value in the next 30 years. It doesn't seem impossible to say that Bitcoin has more promising returns for long-term investment.

The situation in our environment will have a strange impact when we suddenly have great wealth because the investment we make in Bitcoin will never be known by the people in the circle where we live. Well, as you said, of course it is true that many Bitcoins will disappear from circulation because their owners die. I imagine that in the next 30 years Bitcoin circulation will certainly become thinner due to many reasons. Even though that is my assumption, for now it is true that if they don't pass on the private key to their family then there is no way for their family to own their BTC.

Indeed, in this match, Torino did not provide enough tough resistance for Lazio. Because of this, Lazio can really control the match. Even though Torino basically had that opportunity, their attack was not strong enough.
Next, Lazio has to play Fiorentina, in this match, at least, Lazio also has to win again. And they have a chance to win again in a bigger way.
I don't think so, in yesterday's match Torino played better than Lazio, but they couldn't score a goal in this match because many of the opportunities they had were wasted. Well for Lazio when they built their attack they managed to score a goal, even for the second goal I think Cataldi was in quite a tight space but he managed to complete his shot into a goal.

For this reason, Torino performance was considered good but they failed to score a goal and Lazio managed to score even though they were in a pressured situation in this match. Indeed, this season Lazio, when playing at home, was defeated by Torino in their first meeting, but in the second meeting Lazio managed to get their revenge by beating Torino in front of their supporters.

I will choose Aston Villa as the favorite team to win the European Conference League this season. It is very reasonable to place Unai Emery fleet at the top of the list, because of their consistency in the Premier League which has been able to stay in the top four of the standings so far. Man City, Chelsea and Tottenham are the three elite EPL teams that Aston Villa have beaten this season, so I think Ajax will be beaten too.

We know that Ajax experienced very difficult ups and downs in performance in the Eredivisie, they have not even managed to break into the top four at the moment, which could lead them to qualify for the qualifying round for the European Conference League next season. On paper, Aston Villa have all the attributes to make their move smooth, and in my opinion they deserve to be favourites.

From a domestic league point of view, we certainly know that the EPL is in first place as the most competitive league in Europe, very different from the Eredivisie. In this case, the Dutch representative will find it very difficult to beat Aston Villa, and Ajax even be unable to compete with Brighton and Marseille in Group B of the Europa League.
From what I see, several teams still have opportunities because in terms of quality, several teams are quite strong. Fenerbahce, Fiorentina also cannot be underestimated because they also have the ambition to reach the final in the European conference league. But for that reason, Aston Villa performance may be better than other teams because Aston Villa managed to cause many surprises in the domestic league and I think they deserve to be a strong candidate to win the title.

Apart from that, Aston Villa also has a strong opponent because they will face Ajax in the round of 16. Meanwhile, Fiorentina will face Maccabi Haifa. Well, in my opinion, Fiorentina opponent is also quite strong because Maccabi currently leads the standings in their domestic league. For this reason, several strong teams need to struggle to be able to beat their opponents in the round of 16.

Targeting big profits in investments is normal and many of us want to achieve big profits someday. The twists and turns of our investment journey certainly have many obstacles and that is a struggle that we must go through to achieve success in Bitcoin investment. I also want to change my fate to live more frugally in order to be able to accumulate bitcoin more aggressively this year.

Halving is so close.
Even though our target is for long-term investment, we are of course waiting for the halving moment because it happens every 4 years.

If it's like this then the EPL will slowly disintegrate. Everyone should have the same rights, because they are in one main competition. It's a shame for a small club, if everything is measured in money. Small clubs that are able to compete will easily be eliminated and champions are also determined by money. If something like this happens then UEFA and FIFA must immediately step in. Because they have the authority to make football a business that is in a state of order and fair play. I am waiting for the latest news release from the FA, hopefully they are not silent because of money.
This is where firmness is needed from the Premier League to clarify their accusations against Manchester city for committing many violations. To create a clean competition without any violations, firmness is needed in every decision made from the Premier League. If we refer to healthy finances, of course the league is no longer competitive, I mean the Premier League has submitted to teams that have strong finances.

But I find it difficult to find details about the violations committed by Manchester city, there is only one FFP case published by a sports media but at this point it is still under investigation. Indeed, Manchester city is a club that is quite influential in Premier Lague because for the time being they are the best team in the world.

However, it would be good for Milan to take today match seriously, because it will make them respected in the next round. This defeat still means Milan progress to the last 16, and I think many people will be surprised by Pioli fleet defeat to Rennes. Conceding three goals is not a good thing, it shows that Milan defense is still very porous.

Pioli must improve his team so that it can become one of the favorite teams in the Europa League, even though we know Liverpool and Leverkusen are at the top of that list. We just have to see the results of the draw for the round of 16, who will be Milan opponents there, and what is clear is that Milan has to work hard if they have the ambition to be one of the finalists this season.

I hope that Milan doesn't meet Liverpool or Leverkusen too early, the match against these teams is like an ideal final in my opinion. However, if the drawing results are like that, then I predict that Milan will be eliminated early from the European League this season, Liverpool and Leverkusen are very consistent in winning in every match they have.
Ac milan game was really bad in this match, they were unable to control their hopes of winning today's match. Even though they qualify for the round of 16, of course many people think that Ac milan performance in this match was really bad. Indeed, in terms of their opponents, they moved strongly enough to put pressure on ac milan because they were really aiming for a big win to be able to equalize the aggregate but unfortunately Rennes did not succeed in doing so. The final score was 3-2 and the aggregate was 3-5 which made Ac milan qualify for the round of 16.

Apart from that, another match was between Roma vs Feyenoord where the first half ended with a score of 1-1. The guest managed to surprise the Roma supporters who were present at the Olimpico stadium because feyenoord managed to record a lead in the 5th minute which made feyenoord lead 1-0 but in the 15th minute roma managed to equalize through a goal scored by pellegrini. I predict that the second half of this match will be quite exciting because for the time being they have an aggregate of 2-2. which means that if one of the teams manages to score a goal in the second half, it is very likely that they will progress to the round of 16.

Success is not only triggered by planning but we must have confidence in what we do. Investing in bitcoin is an investment that is quite popular at the moment, so for that we need to strengthen ourselves to fight the lust for near-term profits. Apart from that, we can learn from the seniors here, like JJG, who has gone through many obstacles to become a great holder, aka able to withstand it in the long term. lots of very useful advice for us beginners, therefore we can learn while investing in Bitcoin.
For sure, threads like this (and the forum) is an interactive process, and for some reason, guys had become quite engaging on this thread in regards to several of the various ideas and ways to accumulate BTC and including that it seems that a good number of guys have been practicing some of their own variations of BTC accumulation, so the active participation and the employment of the ideas, makes it more likely that the ideas are going to sink in and make more sense...  
Of course that's true because I have seen many beginners keep coming to this discussion thread which means they have prioritized understanding some ideas in their investment planning. Like most people, of course, I myself am lucky enough to be able to learn a lot from here, moreover, every discussion is very useful for us especially in the process of carrying out the BTC accumulation which we prioritize. There are always suggestions and there are always criticisms and we will take all of this from the positive side for our progress in investing in Bitcoin.
.. even though surely some guys still seem to be looking for quick results, yet other guys seem to realize that it can take many years to build up a bitcoin portfolio, and we even have some members who have been in bitcoin at various lengths of time, and several of them are able to bring their own level of experience.. and even some of them might be saying that they have to start over because they either got caught up too much into shitcoins or that they had not been employing very consistent BTC accumulation practices.. .. and really, there should be no reason to get worried, even if you are just getting started in bitcoin accumulation in recent times.. and so in those kinds of cases, it might still take a while to learn that it is better to just get started rather than continuing to regret about earlier periods of either inaction or whimpy levels of BTC accumulation.
I may not care about quick results or quick profits because previously I had strengthened my mentality to invest in the long term or 10 years. Meanwhile, for those who determine their choice of direction in the near future, of course that is their decision, but I certainly won't do that. Of course some members are our seniors here, but apart from that, even though they are seniors, if the points they say are not constructive, we certainly won't take advice from them. So, for the most part, I think the arguments in this thread are quite useful and it depends on each person how they come to their conclusions.
We likely learn from some of our mistakes, and there are even some very senior forum members with similar stories of relatively whimpy BTC accumulation, so even being involved in the forum for a long time does not necessarily teach guys to accumulate BTC if they are not going to put ideas of BTC bullishness into a kind of accumulation practice.
That's what I like, if they make a mistake and want to correct it in their new investment, of course we will encourage them to continue doing it. Because every regret will be useful for those who want to change their fate so as not to repeat it. I appreciate everything you say in one word, namely that it is quite important to continue to stand up and make changes to achieve success in the future. Yes, everyone certainly has their own ideas about what they explain, but I think their goal is to help beginners find the best practices they can take to create their investment plan.
