1081  Economy / Economics / Re: Deposits-in the bank or in gold? on: May 13, 2023, 07:42:31 PM
How to save savings in inflation, there are many deposits provided by the bank, but banks often go bankrupt, does it make sense to buy gold? How is gold bought in a bank and interest is issued on it?
I have always thought that deposits and gold are different. Deposits are parking funds that will be used, while gold is a fixed asset. Or in short, deposits are capital, while gold is an asset. This is a personal financial perspective.

Both are actually detrimental for those who want to think far ahead.
Deposits, the tax is very large, namely 20%.
Gold is also a very large purchase and sale tax.
If we borrow from a non-subsidized bank, we are subject to interest of 19% per year, while deposits are only given 3% interest after deducting taxes.

If we have an Entrepreneurial mentality, it would be nice not to buy gold for our capital and not for our capital to be deposited.
You may set aside some of your business profits to buy gold and for deposits. But here I suggest for Bitcoin Investment.

There is no single asset that can beat inflation except bitcoin. IMO
That's where our brains have to work extra, forget about assets before we have some profits to buy them.
remember..
Use our assets that produce and grow in times of inflation.

Lazio's last few matches have had such a bad performance and I think that this bad thing happened to Lazio's defense which has been a little weak lately which has caused Lazio to always concede goals. in the last match against Lecce, see how bad Lazio's defense was when it was attacked by Lecce players, like they were confused, unable to block the attack. and fortunately Lazio's attacking line still had a strong performance to equalize the score and ended in a draw.
There was a time when everyone thought Lazio was a threat to Napoli, now we don't know if they will be in the UCL next season. If you look at Lazio's provisional standings, it is increasingly difficult to get a place in the champions league. Lazio Since losing to the Milan duo, Lazio's appearance has even decreased. Even though it was already good at Runner up, it even dropped to third place and is a candidate for fourth place if Inter wins against Sassuolo.

In that match, Lecce appeared extraordinary and deserved to win, unfortunately Lecce was still unlucky, maybe if the penalty from G. Strefezza was a goal, it would be a sweet victory for Lecce.

The Lens team in League One has to be really praised. Because this team is performing exceptionally well after PSG. In today's match as well, this team secured victory by two goals to one and managed to collect points. Looking at the performance of the team, it seems that this team can do great things.
This season, Lens has drawn more than lost, and even lost less (four losses) than PSG (six losses). The remaining three matches against Lorient, Ajaccio and Auxerre, if you win 3 times, the maximum point is 84. PSG currently has 78 points, PSG if they win against Ajaccio and Auxerre can already be sure to win Ligue 1 again.

By the way, Lens's history is quite interesting in the history of Ligue 1. RC Lens has played in the UCL twice, namely in the 1998-99 and 2002-03 seasons, the most memorable thing is that they beat Arsenal and AC Milan in those 2 seasons and almost qualified to the next round Unfortunately in the 98-99 season they failed. And next season Lens will be in the UCL again, this will be very interesting with a new face and of course there will be new surprises.
1084  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: BRC-20 needs to be removed on: May 13, 2023, 08:23:49 AM
Bitcoin loses trust if the developers move away from Satoshi's vision and try to haphazardly bolt on every new shiny object.

That's right!
One of Bitcoin's strengths was never deviating from Satoshi's initial plan. The fact that everything continues to work as it was done from the beginning, guarantees stability and continuity.

Therefore, I think that everything that deviates from the basic idea of Bitcoin must be rectified, so that everything remains as the initial plan.

One of the things that annoys me the most is when I'm starting to get involved in a project and suddenly the rules of the game change. I think this is very bad and discourages the project.
Yes, even though ordinals and BRC-20 love new use cases in Bitcoin, ordinals and BRC-20 split the Bitcoin community. Bitcoin and satoshi maximalists say these ordinals are an attack on Bitcoin. Why? The first problem is that this idea has existed since the time of satoshi and was rejected by satoshi himself. For example, there is BitDNS whose idea is more or less the same as the .sats domain but was rejected by satoshi at that time. Santoshi said Bitcoin was created only as a decentralized peer to peer financial system.

The second problem is social issues. since the launch of ordinals in January 2023, the Bitcoin community has been divided again. For several reasons there is a social issue. An example could be someone inserting a picture or news about Tiananmen in the Bitcoin protocol which causes Bitcoin to be banned in China for example. And Actually this happened in 2017. Now with the protocol ordinals, everyone can easily insert pictures. For example, pornographic images on the Bitcoin network. And that's irreversible, it's also not funny if the Global reserve currency has all the coins in its "doodles". According to Bitcoin maximalists, this makes Bitcoin not pure anymore.

The third problem is block struggle. Inscription satoshis (sats) are currently competing for blockspace on the Bitcoin network and disrupting other transaction activity. Ultimately causing the Bitcoin network fee to be more expensive, the ones who actually benefit the most are miners.

The fourth problem is in security. For example, Wallet Unisat is immediately hit by a double spend attack after being launched. In conclusion, BRC-20 is still in the experimental stage.
1085  Economy / Economics / Re: Why you should use spare money to invest on: May 12, 2023, 05:39:42 PM
Snip~
The best use of any amount of money is to invest in multiple assets, I realized that investing in cryptocurrencies and bitcoins is better than putting all my money in savings or unnecessary expenses.

Anyone can have financial freedom, you just need a positive mindset and the right information and a good investment management plan, the reason most investors suffer unnecessary losses is because they don't start with good investment management. In my investing experience, I see that when I study and keep updating the latest news it can avoid losing my investment, my return on investment becomes bigger and more stable and I stop losing my investment capital. That's what good management can do.

And it's true that it's better to use small money than to use money that isn't free, especially by going into debt for this investment, a fatal mistake. Although later investments can increase wealth, there are still risks and can not always generate profits.
1086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 12, 2023, 05:12:10 PM
Milan had better focus on their Serie A matches more than ever from now on. Because they got a really disadvantageous result against Inter in the Champions League. Hence it doesn't look like they have a good chance to move on to the final round. Because of this they can at least focus on the Serie A now to carry themselves into top four. Besides even if they eliminate Inter somehow it is still too difficult for Milan to beat one of Real Madrid - Manchester City duo.

Hence I see only one way for Milan to join the Champions League next season - finishing the Serie A season in top four. Milan seem to have easier fixtures than Inter in general. The only tough challenge looks like it is against Juventus away. I think Milan can leave Inter behind if they play dedicatedly.
Yes, I agree with you, Ac Milan should focus on Serie A to enter the UCL zone next season. Because Finishing the season in the top four in Serie A is definitely becoming realistic for Milan at the moment.

However, in my opinion, even so, Ac Milan still has to try their best for the UCL this season, and AC Milan in leg 2 just needs mental recovery. Confident in the abilities you have. If you play calmly and without the burden, AC Milan will play more freely in the second leg.

The mission in leg 2 is to play carefree. no need to chase the target of qualifying for the final, let's just say it's over. You have to be ready to accept reality, the achievements until the semifinals have been very good with the squad you currently have. Doing so can make players play without a burden. But still playing all out has been all out since kick off. Trying to maximize it so that it creates goals faster against Inter. Then the score was 2-1, continued to increase the tempo until it was 2-2. Just hoping for a miracle comeback.
1087  Economy / Economics / Re: As an Economist how do you tackle inflation? on: May 12, 2023, 03:51:24 PM
I think it's better to save investment with gold. Inflation in the form of money is inevitable. although bitcoin cannot experience inflation but do not know when the technological era will end. just hope that everything will be fine, and the safest is gold in the face of inflation in the future.
Investing is important but it must be critical to make your money work for you. You've worked hard for your money and now your money has to work hard for you. Whether it's investing in gold or bitcoin because both are good for dealing with inflation.

Investing in gold and bitcoin can indeed be considered as a good alternative to deal with inflation. Gold is known as a stable asset and can survive difficult times such as inflation. Meanwhile, bitcoin is a type of cryptocurrency that can also be used as an alternative to deal with inflation, even though the risk is higher due to its high volatility. Regardless of your statement that gold is better than bitcoin, it is important to deal with inflation, we must be smart in taking advantage of opportunities to earn income, namely by investing.
1088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 12, 2023, 01:27:17 PM
About that, Tottenham had a good history in the Champions League once in a season. If you remember the 2018/19 season finale in the Champions League Tottenham qualified for the finale back then. This was really the closest moment to the title for them but Liverpool beat them by 2-0 anyway. It was a really bad upset for Tottenham because they don't do much thing in the Champions League normally.

As for today Tottenham still need to make a huge improvement to even repeat this team record in the Champions League. Kane is the most diligent player in the squad currently. He has scored so many goals for his team throughout the season but there are still big holes in their team effort. If Kane leaves also then I can't even think how bad they would be.  Sad
That's just the history of Tottenham reaching the final but they have never carved out a title for the UCL meaning that there is nothing sacred for Spurs they always end in a nightmare that has never been reached, we often Spurs keep trying on leading coaches but still no one can assume the trophy includes Mourinho who had served as coach there.

Massive improvements really have to be done at this time, they have to be forced to move to 6th place even though they were previously in the top 3 of the Premier League, this is something that has to be fixed they are getting worse and about Harry Kane maybe he will remain loyal to the Spurs team.
I think it is the improvement in Tottenham's management that must be corrected, because it was with the wrong management that they lacked patience, so until now Tottenham have never won any Champions League titles. For example, coaches Pochettino and Mourinho are former Tottenham Hotspur coaches but they left Tottenham Hotspur and they ended up getting a trophy at their new club, so the root of the problem lies in Tottenham Hotspur's management, not the coach, in my opinion.

Another example, Tottenham has long been under the shadow of city rivals Arsenal. But the 2016-2021 period Tottenham has always been above Arsenal. Even in that period they entered the 2018 UCL Final. But it's strange that Arsenal, who were in the dark ages for the last 7 years and were always under Tottenham, were still able to win a trophy even if it was the FA Cup or Community Shield. What's wrong with this club, even though Harry Kane is often the Top Scorer and yesterday Son was also the Top Scorer but they were unable to bring 1 trophy.
1089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: May 12, 2023, 12:42:55 PM
Juventus were a bit behind in the Italian league at the beginning but now they are in a very good position by passing all the teams. Juventus didn't play bad in Europa League either they played 1 of 2 semi final match with Sevilla today but the match was a 1-1 draw.  On May 19, they have a semi-final 2 of 2 match to decide which team will advance to the final. I think Juventus are likely to reach the final and Roma on the other hand have a high chance of reaching the final. Roma won 1 of 2 matches today with Leverkusen so the final match could be Roma vs Juventus

Why do you think Juventus will reach the final? They didn't play the best match, Sevilla dominated for periods and Juventus were very lucky that they were able to bounce back in the last extra minutes of the match, I already thought that they would lose. But even the fact that they managed to draw at home does not guarantee them anything, since Sevilla is a home team, and even more so they are very good in the EL, so in Spain it will be much more difficult for Juventus, and I assume that in the final we will see Sevilla.
If Juventus want to win in leg 2, in my opinion, Paul Pogba and Samuel Iling-Junior must start from the start of the match, Federico Gatti also has to play from the start. Because if we look at the 1st leg match, Allegri used defender Leonardo Bonucci, I already had a feeling that he would concede a goal, especially since there was Alex Sandro who likes to make blunders and retires late when he overlaps (this is the cause of the first goal).

Allegri must immediately improve and use the 1st leg as a lesson, otherwise this will be stressful and even more dangerous for Juventus. If there is the slightest mistake can result in a very fatal. Moreover, Seville is the King of UEL, which is no doubt in every edition of Seville is the King of UEL. Especially now in the first leg the score is 1-1, Sevilla will go on a rampage in the second leg, knowing that they are very superior when playing at home.

Bitcoin exist for over a decade yet there’s only few percentage of the human population is involved on Bitcoin investment. Not because that the majority of people is not aware nor exposed but because they are the victim of economic lie such disinformation towards Bitcoin through negative propaganda of Banks.

We are all being feed of wrong information of economic norms by the billionaires that benefiting the current system. Bitcoin is the best asset to invest in terms of price growth on long term period yet people are still scared to touch due the wrong information given by the main stream media.

In the country that I live, Bitcoin has a stigma of being a scam because our own government warn the public to not engage on Bitcoin investment due to a lot of scam involves it and the volatility is high. Most of the people here including the old professional don’t dare to touch it despite Bitcoin already has good price history.
The government, including in my country, often campaigns and says Bitcoin as fraud is a lie. Even though Bitcoin carries high risks and volatility, it is true, but that does not mean it is a scam or a Ponzi scheme. Bitcoin is a decentralized digital asset that allows the transfer of value without intermediaries, which is known as blockchain technology. However, like any other investment, Bitcoin is subject to significant risks and price fluctuations, so investments must be made with care and tailored to each individual's risk profile. The government should educate the public like that, not the other way around.

The government lies to mislead many people to choose money and create economic lies as you mentioned through the negative propaganda of the Bank. The government should offer various options for investing, including bitcoin, so that in the end the final decision still depends on the preferences and risk profile of the individual people.

Do you expect Real Madrid to play defensively instead of their usual open play? I still hope that Manchester City can win this game even if Real Madrid plays any strategy, and now Manchester City can find a goal after several attempts. Kevin De Bruyne scored just as well as Vinicius, and I think their spirits will only get better for the rest of the second half. Haaland hasn't found a goal yet and I hope he can find one before the end of the match.
The semifinal match was the most exciting in my opinion. The game was tight, the goals that were created and the goals were cool and the two coaches were equally adaptive to tactics. Pep Guardiola as usual is smart and always overthinking in the big match. It's a sign that there hasn't been a single substitution tonight, maybe Pep Guardiola is afraid the players will ruin the rhythm of the game. Even though Bernardo wasn't that good at attacking in the match earlier, he is still good at making defense compared to Mahrez. I wanted to replace Halland, who wasn't good enough in the last game, but Halland made a real Madrid defender. On the other hand, Don Carlo has always been successful. Making Real Madrid play efficiently and have a solid defense.

Real Madrid's defence has done well in this first half, most especially Eduardo Camavinga who has made many important touches including the assist that has led to Real Madrid's one goal advantage with their first attempt on target. Manchester City have met their match and they are will have to take things more carefully in the second half to avoid more goals. Manchester City's target now will be to try to get an equaliser or try to make sure that Real Madrid don't score more goals that will make the second leg more difficult.
Yes Eduardo Camavinga was epic in that match, he was on all fronts and Real Madrid were very lucky to have him because he can play in the midfield and wing-back positions. The process of Vini's goal in the match was also very beautiful, starting from Eduardo Camavinga's individual actions past several Manchester City players, then Eduardo Camavinga gave the ball to Vini and created a beautiful goal.

so 2 things to update this thread:

#1: balaji closed out his bet and admitted defeat early so he lost his $1 million but we all knew that would happen. i don't think he seriously thought it wouldn't though.
Knowing for sure to lose, Balaji Srinivasan paid $1,000,000 in $1 million Bitcoin bets in 90 days. These funds went to Bitcoin Core developers Chaincode Labs and to the Give Directly foundation a charity that supports people living in poverty in Africa and America.

#2: the usa is heading towards a bankruptcy/default on debt this june unless the usa government prints some serious money or they're talking about issuing "premium" bonds at a higher interest rate. sounds like a ponzi scheme now. the usa government is becoming the laughing stock of the world since it can't be fiscally responsible. and thus causing inflation and ruin peoples' lives.
Currently, the US debt has reached a very large figure and the debt crisis is a real threat to the US economy. However, the US government has several options for avoiding debt default, such as reducing government spending, raising taxes, and printing money. However, all of these options have serious consequences, such as slowing economic growth, triggering inflation, or exacerbating social inequality.

The debt crisis in the US can also have a global impact, because the US is one of the largest economic powers in the world. If the US defaults on its debts, then this can lead to worldwide economic instability.

Therefore, it is important for the US to improve its debt situation and take appropriate measures to overcome the debt crisis. However, this is not only the responsibility of the US itself, but also of other countries involved in trade and investment with the US.

And now the match is end, Juventus return to dominate the match when enter the second half
Sure enough, Samuel Iling-Junior open the score for Juventus in the 56th minute
Various attempts were made by both teams after Samuel Iling-Junior's goal but still didn't change anything, but surprisingly Dusan Vlahovic managed to increase the advantage in the final minutes of extra time.
That way Juventus managed to win with a score of 2-0
The most interesting thing in that match was Samuel Iling-Junior's first goal, he managed to make new history for Juventus with a nineteen-year-old player he made a special debut in Serie A. He first played in the Italian League and he managed to score a goal in the first minute 56th.

With this goal, Samuel Iling-Junior became the third English player to score for Juventus. Before him, there were David Platt in 1992-1993 and John Jordan in 1948-1949. I hope that Iling-Junior will continue to develop his talent and make a big contribution to the Juventus team in the future. Hopefully he can score many more goals for his club and achieve many achievements in his career.

I would say Real Madrid lost, that is the best possibility to think about when I compare the current form of the two teams. I consider that Manchester City can impress in the first leg and put pressure on to prevent Real Madrid from finding their best rhythm. So I don't think it's very good to say that Real Madrid can beat Manchester City easily despite the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid are a very unpredictable team, man, it is not known for sure what they play because one game is played very well, another is very bad and another is very bad and for some strange reason this team is more dangerous when it is. Doing nothing because with a pretty brilliant game to get a result, Man City have to be serious about playing this match well because from now on I see the England squad but knowing what Real Madrid is like, it's unknown what will happen.

Quote
I predict this fight will be very tough. The strength of these two teams is very balanced, but for the 1st leg Real Madrid will be able to win that match.
We'll see, but I hope Pep Guardiola has learned a lot since his last defeat to Real Madrid in the semi-finals Champions League the season before.
Only a strong mentality like Real Madrid can beat Pep Guardiola's precise tactics. Because the Champions League is not only about tactics, but also the mentality of the players.

I think Real Madrid will do everything to win the Copa Del Rey Cup against Osasuna because they know that is the only thing they can win, it is clear that City are far superior and are favorites to win the Champions League.

Carlo Ancelotti himself glimpsed the importance of winning this trophy because it meant that in less than two years Real Madrid had won all the existing titles. Ancelotti is most interested in winning this CDR Cup, especially Real Madrid. In thirty years, Real Madrid has only been able to play in the final round of the Copa del Rey six times. three of them Real Madrid won and the other three were runners-up. The last time Real Madrid won CDR was 2014 when Real Madrid won 2-1 over Barcelona.

I think this boils down to the priorities of a person gambling. If he/she gambles with the aim of gaining profit, then that person might feel devastated every game as they always aim for a win. If a person gambles purely for entertainment and for that adrenaline rush, then regardless of the result, that person would be satisfied with every game, thereby decreasing the chances of them being addicted.

This is the problem on what majority of the people feel since they view gambling as an activity of earning money. Sure, you can double your money tonight but it also carries the risk of losing everything at once.
Gambling with the mindset of doubling your money can carry great risks and lead to bad behaviors, such as greed and uncontrollable emotions. In order to play responsibly, it is important to lower expectations and have a realistic view of what can be achieved through gambling. It is true that gambling has the potential to generate financial gain, but it is not a reliable source of income. Gambling should be considered as a form of entertainment only, not a way to make money consistently.

In order to gamble responsibly, it is important to set boundaries in the game, be it in terms of time or money spent. In addition, it is important not to take excessive financial risks and always prioritize wise money management.

It should also be remembered that gambling can have a serious impact on one's finances and well-being if not properly regulated. It is important to always play responsibly and know when to stop to avoid any negative effects that may occur.
