Union berlin has the chance to take the first position after bayern yesterday defeat all they have to do is beat schalke team which is no difficult task considering how poor both schalke performance and results are but if they face the same schalke as the last round they might cause them trouble.
Union should be able to take advantage of this moment because against Schalke is a bottom club, in this first half the score is still 0 - 0, I hope there will be surprises at the end of the first and second half to produce goals, I bet for Union, I hope it doesn't disappoint like Munich

Bayern Munich was defeated in the last match. Union Berlin had a chance to go top of the points table by winning this match. Schalke is a very weak team. Union Berlin should get full points from this match. But the players of Union Berlin could not score any goal in 80 minutes. Union Berlin are not playing well against teams like Schalke. They made only 5 shots. Don't know why Union Berlin are playing defensively against Schalke. However, such a poor performance will not win Berlin. They really need to attack.

Bitcoin backed by a large community and it is the most used cryptocurrency. No matter how big of a project an altcoin has, they still fall too short of competing with bitcoin.
There are many reasons for bitcoin to have this great market share. I don't see a single altcoin which have the potential like bitcoin, and I don't think any coin will.
Technology matters a lot. During the beginning days none believed in the technology as well as Bitcoin. Slowly the market started to pump and at some point the Pizza guy gave value to it with his purchase. From then onwards the market of bitcoin progressed and there were existence of more altcoins. Some stood strong in the market whereas majority are just tokenised services. Even there are few coins that are being developed during the days of bitcoin into existence. Even those coins weren't able to stay on the market. For several reasons bitcoin can be termed to be the king. Another reason, once bitcoin cash tried to take the throne as the real bitcoin. Finally bitcoin was favoured by the consensus and through different obstacles bitcoin stands high as King.

Honestly, when it comes to technology, I only believe in bitcoin, altcoins without any technology. Many people say bitcoin is old, slow, that's true but bitcoin is the pioneer of blockchain technology and bitcoin is also the most widely accepted. As for altcoins, they're introducing new, cutting-edge technology but what they're doing looks like a mess, aside from being used to create pumps and dumping, altcoins don't have any real benefits as advertised. No altcoin can last long, new technology that can't last is just trash.

To be honest I would also like to see the title winner this season be Arsenal.
It's the same with you, not because I like Arsenal, but because without the dominance of the champions, it will make the competition very interesting and this season who will win will likely be determined at the end of the season.
Arsenal and Manchester City battle has made the Premier League even more crowded. It is impossible to predict which team will win the title. A few days ago, the Arsenal team was ahead of Manchester City by about 10 points. But now Arsenal and Manchester City are levels on points. And Manchester City is now at the top of the table. Also, Manchester United's points gap with Manchester City is only 5. Manchester United team will also try to win the title now. This will make the fight for the title more intense and enjoyable.
manchester city is able to catch up well, as well as manchester united, but i'm not quite sure manchester united can win the english league this season, i bet arsenal and manchester city will win the league this season, personally of course expect manchester city to win won the Premier League this season

Manchester United are in very good form right now. Their points gap with Manchester City and Arsenal is not much. But their performance is not regular. Manchester United would have probably fought for the title if they had played consistently well. Manchester United have won only two of their last five matches. It is impossible to win the title by performing like this. Arsenal and Manchester City are still favorites for the title. If these two teams do not stumble then one of these two teams will win the title.

The match of Girona vs Almería is going to start tomorrow in the Spanish League. But between these two teams, the players of Girona team are performing well in almost every match. I don't know how Girona will play in tomorrow's match. I am really worried about Girona.  I will bet on team support if Girona wins then I will win the bet.And if Girona lose the match I will lose the bet. I expect to see a tough fight between the two teams and Girona will win the match.

Girona and Almeria are not strong teams. Both teams are of average quality. And their points gap is only 2. Also, both teams still have the possibility of going into the relegation zone. So both of them will aim to win the match and stay safe away from the relegation zone. But this is Girona's home match. The home Girona team is strong. Girona managed to get 18 points in 11 home matches. If the players are confident, Girona will be able to secure three points in today's home match. I will refrain from betting on this match. But today my favourite is Girona.

India vs Australia 2nd Test match between these two teams has started today. Australia now came to bat and scored 167 runs in 46 overs. I think Australia didn't score much. Australia team has lost 5 wickets now.  Shami took 2 wickets with 41 runs in 9 overs. India's bowling put Australia batsmen under a lot of pressure.

Warner, Labuschagne. Experienced batsmen like Smith, Travis Head and Alex Cherry did not play well today. Each of the batsmen mentioned is Australia's most important player. And fans expect a lot from them. But their performance was very bad. Usman Khawaja was dismissed for 81 runs. Peter Handscomb scored 36 runs and Pet Cummins scored 23 runs now batting. Australia collected 199 runs after losing 6 wickets. It seems that Australia will lose all the wickets today. If Australia collects less than 300 runs then they will be badly beaten in today's match as in the first match. But if they collect more than 300 then the match will be competitive.

Tsitsipas v Sinner - really looking forward to this, would live to back Sinner but
I'm not sure, I havent seen him playing yet, maybe a dollar bet for a bit of fun??
My money is on Tsitsipas in this one. He just feels like a player with higher ceiling. I don't see Sinner ever winning against Tsitsi in top form while I can invasion Tsitsi squeezing a win even if he isn't on 100%. That being said, Sinner is a complete package and I am sure he can do some damage on Tsitsi backhand. That is the way to play against Tsitsi, make him hit hard backhands and hope this is the day when it is a bit off and not firing winners.

This is going to be an interesting one. I personally also think that Tsitsipas could be the one who will be able to win the match. But of course, it is going to be a very close one. This is still a round of 16 match. Don't get me wrong, I also think that Sinner has the potential to be a competent player. But right now, I believe that Tsitsipas is likely on track to perform better.

And one thing I have also noticed is that a lot of elite players are actually not very strong on their backhand. Tsitsipas is likewise one of them. So it is not surprising if Sinner focuses on that. However, even after that, Sinner won't be able to win. Anyway, that's my prediction.

~~~ Do you still try to enlighten others, or do you relinquish to the fact that you aren't really gonna change someone's opinion, only they can do that?

They are like us, only believe and have faith when they do it themselves, no one can impose their thoughts on us and vice versa. Honestly, I don't want to give advice or tell someone to invest in bitcoin because I know that no matter what I say, they will never believe it. The best way to change their mind is to show them how your economy changed when you invested in bitcoin. I mean, prove to them that your bitcoin investment is making you richer than them, your economy better. What they want is the result, when you have the result, they will believe you, or they will earn their own bitcoin without your help.
588  Economy / Speculation / Re: what now ? on: February 15, 2023, 04:20:05 AM
what you guys think , it's a short term rally or beginning of bull market
or I missed the bottom
If you're buying to hodl till 2024 or first quarters of 2025 then you entry price shouldn't be a concern to you. The reason being that Bitcoin is projected to hit a level higher than its previous ATH of $68k+ in 2021. I expect a repeat of that awesome rally in 2025 too. At the current price of $22,240 I think it's still a discount. You don't have to buy all you want at once. You can DCA on it and keep getting more anytime it dips for price correction.

Yes, I still do DCA monthly, and I am not too bothered about the bitcoin price in the past few days, even though it is more than 40% up from the bottom. My sell target will be when it hits a new ATH, or it will be $100k, depending on the market situation, I think as long as bitcoin stays below the old ATH, we can still invest. We do not always have money to invest in bitcoin, if there is no opportunity to buy bitcoin for 15k $, then 20k or 30k is still an opportunity to own cheap bitcoin.

The news lately that has been making headlines is now BUSD is considered an unregistered security by the SEC. Now how they came up with that I wouldn’t understand. We had USDT for years and they never considered it a security but now all of a sudden they are going after Binance. Before this it was kraken getting sued for the staking  being considered an unregistered security.

However FTX went completely under the radar and those other companies which commited fraud. I will never understand how SEC think. So far Bitcoin is holding up to this news. Most will convert to Tether and move on.
I think USDT is considered a "security" if they were as business as Binance, the difference is that USDT is not a company based out of USA, but binance.us is, and they are owned by Binance, and they control the whole of BUSD, not the same thing.

Obviously still terrible that they could make it like that, and I think they are basically saying "if we can't control you, we will punish you" and nothing more, and CZ knows this and will move towards more VPN side and not really care about what they say, because freedom to do whatever you want instead of doing what government wants will be a better profit maker for them. This is why they do not look worried about this at all.

BUSD is a partnership between Binance and Paxos, Paxos is the issuer and has full rights to BUSD, not finance. The SEC seems to be using its power to suppress, they haven't given any concrete evidence in this case, I don't think this story will go anywhere. What stopped BUSD was that Paxos was being investigated by NYDFS, and it was NYDFS that forced Paxos Trust to stop providing BUSD services.
It seems that the regulators have seen the potential and profits that cryptocurrencies bring, and they are looking to enter the market and control it.

Games of the week
Tuesday 14th February

AC Milan 20:00 Tottenham Hotspur
Paris Saint-Germain 20:00 Bayern Munich

I also agree with these two predictions. I wouldn't say AC Milan is a weak team. But I have seen their performance in the last few matches. They played very badly. It seems that suddenly the bonding between the players has weakened. So Tottenham seems to be the favourite in this match. However, Tottenham's performance cannot be said to be regular. Tottenham will win if Kane and Son play well. Otherwise, the chances of defeat are high.

PSG Courage has played very poorly in Ligue 1 in a few matches. But they never get all their best players in the squad for any match. The possibility of Mbappe not playing in today's match is still high. If Mbappe is not with the squad, I think Bayern Munich will win this match.

Current La Liga standing awhile, Barcelona seem confidence lead top standing position after remaining 11 points behind Real Madrid and still have one match left against Elche. Seems not compete with La Liga depend on current standing position and actually points gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
But La Liga have 17 matches left and anything could be possible between Real Madrid back to the top standing position or Barcelona keep comfortable on top standing position until La Liga season 2022/2023 finished. Lets predicting will Barcelona become the champion? after last time on season 2018/2019 become the La Liga winner.

The points gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid is now 11. If Madrid manage to win their next match, their points gap will be 8. A gap of 8 points in La Liga doesn't seem too big. Because both Barcelona and Real Madrid have a record of dropping points against weaker teams this season. And so Barcelona may not perform as consistently. If Barcelona drop points in a few matches, Madrid will have the chance to win the title. But if Barcelona's players are so confident and keep scoring points in every match, then it is not possible for Madrid to win the title.

Rangpur Raiders stumbled early, England star Sam Billings got out early. Rangpur Riders lost the wicket of their most reliable batsman Sam Billings in the middle of 8 runs.
Rangpur Riders came to bat with a target of 183 runs and stumbled at the start, at this moment Rangpur Riders team has collected 18 runs after 3 overs. There are two Bangladeshi batsmen Shamim Hossain and Rony Talukder on the wicket.
Today's match is very important for Rangpur Riders because in today's match Rangpur's batting line has two stars of West Indies Nicholas Pooran and Dryene Bravo. Moreover, Sri Lanka has reliable batsman Dasun Shanaka. I bet for Rangpur Riders in today's match.

Sylhet batsmen's performance was excellent today. Almost every batsman in the team tried to perform well. Shanto, Mash and Linde in particular played brilliantly. As a result Sylhet team was able to give a big target of 183. Rangpur players were in complete control of the match till 15 overs. They needed just 46 runs from the last 5 overs to win. But they failed to collect it. Their collection was only 26 runs in the last 5 overs. Controlling the entire match, it was unimaginable that Rangpur would be beaten so badly. I expected more responsible performance from Rangpur players. Rangpur would have been able to win if Mahedi and Bravo batted a little better.

It was a SIX NATIONS RUGBY day for me yesterday and I only checked in with the Tennis
this morning. I'm shocked to see that Rune was beaten by Cressy, I really thought it was going
to be a Sinner v Rune final.

Sinner should win today, he is the clear favourite 1.29 v 3.5. I would love to see hom do it
and kickstart his 2023 season.

The final was between Sinner and Cressy, prediction of a lot of people failed, mine also. Because I also thought that it was going to be a  Sinner vs Rune final, but that did not happen. Since that did not happen, and only Sinner among these two actually made it to the final, I think we all knew who was going to win the final. And that's what happened. Sinner won the final against Cressy. And I think it is fair to say that he did not face too many problems in the final against Cressy.

Rayo Vallecano was leading the game. In Getafe, Borja Mayoral missed the penalty kick first. Then Carles Alena was shown a double yellow to red card and Getafe had 10 men left. All the mishaps have happened to them but Getafe didn't give up.
Dimitrievsky made a very stupid mistake. Enes Ünal evaluated this and scored a very simple goal. Enes Ünal is playing great this season. After the goal he showed a "Pray for Türkiye and Syria" t-shirt. He makes up most of Getafe's offensive power. There are 5 minutes left until the end of the match, but neither team is willing to draw. They continue to attack. It's going to be a very enjoying match to watchers. Rayo fans are a little angry of course, because of the stupid mistake made by the goalkeeper.
One thing to lead and another thing to win and for now they are all equal with 1-1 draw, though Rayo Vallecano possessed ball and played Getafe well. But the game has ended 1_1 in the 90 minutes plus 9 extra time. Getafe even got 1 red card.  All the two teams played well. But I was expecting Rayo Vallecano to win the game and my expectation was not realized.

Getafe is a team in the relegation zone. And so Rayo Vallecano was the favourite in this match. Rayo Vallecano's performance is quite stable in this match. And Rayo Vallecano is sixth in the points table. A win against Getade would have probably seen Vallecano fourth in the table. I wouldn't say Vallecano's players played badly. They played well enough. and attempted to score. But the attacking players missed several easy chances. And that's why Rayo Vallecano failed to get full points from the match.

Seeing Arsenal fail to get full points in yesterday's match against Brentford makes Manchester City have a good chance to reduce the point gap if Manchester City can come out victorious in today's match.
In their last two Premier League games, Arsenal has dropped points. In terms of winning mentality and form, it appears that Arsenal are losing its winning ways gradually, which could have dangerous consequences for their title-winning campaign. The next match for Arsenal is against Manchester City, and they should not let this opportunity pass them by.

Both Arsenal and Manchester City are fighting for the Premier League title. But at the moment the performance of both of them has deteriorated a bit. Manchester City have lost two of their last 4 matches. Arsenal, on the other hand, have lost points in their last two matches. As the performance of both is erratic now. So it is difficult to predict which team will win this match. Both teams have equal chances of winning. But this is Arsenal's home match. Players are more confident in home matches. Arsenal players are capable of beating any team if they are confident.

Yes It was an easy match for Sinner even if Sonego Is a good player. Second set has been super easy for Sinner maybe on te First he has been able to win for one break point... At this point of the tournament I am pretty curious to see now the match against Fils Smiley
considering the odds they are giving Jannik Sinner, I highly doubt that we will see any surprises that would make us see Jannik Sinner losing in this game, I particularly think that Jannik Sinner would win this game, if I had seen this game earlier, without doubt I would bet on this game, I would have included this game in my parlay
another game that looks like the result already has a good chance of being decided is Maxime Cressy game against Holger Vitus Nodskov Rune, looking at these odds and the reviews and analysis I did, although I'm not a tennis expert, I am amateur, but I can see that Rune will win this game

Sinner vs Fils Match is going on right now. Sinner is ahead right now. At the end of the first set, he is ahead. The first set was 7-5 in favor of Sinner. When the match started, it was really very close between both of them. But right now Sinner seems to have the advantage. And he is also playing better compared to his opponent. Fils is actually giving him a good fight. But the problem is he is making some mistakes and for those, he is getting punished.
597  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Bitcoin will lead the world currency market?? on: February 11, 2023, 02:11:04 AM
I assure you that bitcoin will never be able to lead the world monetary system. Our world is becoming modern day by day, there is a possibility that fiat will be replaced by digital currency, but it will be government generated money, not bitcoin or altcoins, government will never let that happen. Bitcoin acceptance is on the rise, but it will only stop as an alternative, an optional payment method, it will never be an official world currency.
I think in the future, it is more likely that bitcoin will be more of a gold-like asset than a payment method, even though it can be used for payments.

Do you really think it's that impossible knowing that Bitcoin's reach is global, while the US Dollar is only for a single (albeit huge and powerful) country? Bitcoin can easily beat the USD in terms of marketcap in the long term.

I don't think the dollar is only for one country, if I'm wrong please correct me, all international commercial transactions today use the dollar as the main currency. During the 2022 crisis, the USD is still considered a safer haven relative to other assets. The possibility of USD being replaced is still there but the probability is too low, and as I said, if it does, it will be another centralized currency and not a decentralized currency.

As for whether bitcoin will beat the USD cap in the long term, let's wait and see because if we compare bitcoin's capitalization to gold or the stock market today. The capitalization of gold is $11 trillion, and the stock market's capitalization is over $70 trillion.

Looking at who is left in the field its clear Fritz and Tiafoe are the standouts and Fritz
the favourite to win it really.
I have both backed for wins today and tomorrow, Fritz will beat Sock and the odds reflect
that - 1.12. Tiafoe has tougher opposition in Wolf tomorrow, he is curently 1.42.
Fritz was able to beat Sock in today's match. It was actually a dominant performance from Fritz. I think this tournament is not going to be very hard for him. At least not since he reaches the final. Probably can say the same thing about Tiafoe as well.

Agreed about these two players going to final and having match because right now we have round of sixteen where Chinese Wu beats Canadian star and 3rd seed for this event Shapovalov another American Isner is also going to play his match after few minutes as right now we have match between Mannarino vs Thompson where Mannarino is leading in second set after winning first set by score of 2 - 6 with this all things are looking easy for the home countries players they will surely be going to lead from the front for the win of this event Fritz T. vs Sock J. is also looking easy one-sided game for the Fritz who is currently favourite for this event.
Mannarino actually won the match quite comfortably in the end. He is going to play against Wu in the next match. That is actually going to be interesting to see. Because Wu did well in the last match as well.

tomorrow Sinner will face another Italian, Lorenzo Sonego.
It would be for sure an interesting match since both players are in good shape.
bookmakers are strongly supporting Sinner with @1.30 as odds. Yes probably he can win, but against Sonego I think it could be something not really smooth as silk Smiley Wink a match that could deserve some better odds for sure...
Sonego indeed could post a big test for Sinner but I think he should win. He has the
toughest match of the quarter finals today I think, Rune (seeded 1st) plays Barrere
which he should win comfortably. Coric plays Cressy which he should win also.
Interestingly all the top 3 seeds have made it to the quarter finals, Rune, Sinner
and Coric.
The match is already over. And I think it was one of the matches that I was looking forward to seeing among all the matches that there were to see today. But in the end, Sinner won this with quite ease.

All the top three seeds have definitely made it to the quarter-finals. Now it is going to start being interesting.

Ok so this is a little down the road from here but assuming after the next halving and bitcoin goes into another bull run, when would be a good time to sell?i have already went through a couple of bull runs and bear markets but i didnt sell and take profits. I would like to sell before the next bear market to take profits this time.

So if bitcoin's cycles remain true, when roughly would be the start of the next bear market after the 2024 halving and bull run for a good time to sell. Can this be predicted somewhat? For all you TA guys when would be a good time to sell just to give me an idea? Thanks.

You've answered your question, the best time to sell is during the next bull season. If you say you have been through a few bull and bear markets, then I think you are experienced enough to know what to do to make a profit. And if you want to ask about the highest ATH for the upcoming bull season, I think you are not the only one who wants to know, we all want to know. But unfortunately, no one can make predictions about it, not even those who claim to be top experts in the market. We will only know bitcoin's highest ATH, after the bull season is over.
