Yes but the idea to bring him back to the Premier League would be stupid. I don't know what Chelsea's plans look like because as far as I know it is about them right? He is still a loan player for AS Roma and if Lukaku now scores a lot of goals in this season for Roma, I see the worst case coming that Chelsea wants to try it again with him and he would waste another year with the Blues.  
Lukaku is getting older and he is no longer suitable to play in the Premier League because his speed is no longer the same. Chelsea don't need Lukaku and they could look for another striker instead of bringing Lukaku back to Stamford Bridge. While playing for Chelsea Lukaku did not provide anything meaningful for the club and he was loaned out. If Chelsea are now interested in him again, I also think it will make Lukaku return to the worst condition he was in when he was there.

Lukaku is more suited to playing in the Italian league and Rome is a good place for him because there is Jose Mourinho who already knows Lukaku's character and style of play. Deciding to move to Chelsea was a bad decision and I don't think Lukaku will make the same mistake.

More precisely, Xabi Alonso is currently being targeted by many of Europe's top teams because of Xabi Alonso's success in creating or building the Leverkusen team as it is today. I think it is quite worthy because Xabi Alonso has shown his qualities so it's only natural that many top teams want him.
I think the rumors for Bayern are still quite far away because so far Tauchel has been successful and has made Bayern Munich's performance quite strong, but we don't know at the end of the season what could happen if Tauchel has failed to meet the expectations or targets that have been set by Bayern management.
It's natural that many football teams currently have great interest in Xabi Alonso because if you look at him he is quite successful in managing Leverkusen as an ordinary team and doesn't have a lot of money to buy quality players. But because of his extraordinary ability, he is able to combine players with minimal experience to compete with other strong teams in the Bundesliga and the many good records that Xabi Alonso has achieved this season for himself with Leverkusen.

Both Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and several other teams are still quite open to making offers for him to coach. But I think he will finish one season with Leverkusen and if he succeeds in bringing a title to Leverkusen or finishes as runner-up in the Bundesliga then Real Madrid will move more quickly for him.

Around 2018 a friend of mine bought some unit of Bitcoin equivalent to $1,000 and also advise me to do same but I refused and was skeptical about it because I was of the notion that "what is really moving is coin of a currency" fast-forward 4 years later my friends share or unit of Bitcoin skyrocketed to $10,000 and I was at thr losing end just to be left with the thought of had I know.
Have you searched for the truth because Bulgaria is actually not the country with the highest bitcoin. Almost many people here want bitcoin as a means of payment, but not all countries enforce that. Now we are no longer talking about payment instruments, but rather how we can take opportunities in Bitcoin to make a profit. I believe that bitcoin has found a wide market throughout the world despite resistance or bans from some other countries.

Your mistake was not trying to find out how Bitcoin was going at that time and you were too quick to decide to refuse to make the same investment as your friend. Now he has everything and if the concept is long term then I am sure your friend will have made quite the maximum profit from the initial investment process.
304  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying and Losing My First Bitcoin on: December 31, 2023, 09:03:07 AM
Bitcoin is still completely illegal in my country. I was first introduced to Bitcoin through a friend of mine. I first bought Bitcoin in early 2017. I bought only 25 dollars worth of bitcoins then. The feeling of making the first investment in life was different. Although I wasted that Bitcoin by investing in a third party hype site. I had a hard time losing my first bitcoin.
It was a bad experience that should be an important lesson for the future and there are probably many people who didn't have a good moment at the start of their involvement in bitcoin. But experience teaches us how every mistake must be corrected and with this experience we can learn to be more responsible for the investments we make in bitcoin. If you look at the age of your involvement in bitcoin, it should be more mature because we have known about bitcoin for so long and maybe there is a lot of experience that we can find.

Hopefully next year will be better, especially for those of us who have been in investment for a long time because only in this way can we gain financial freedom independently. Bitcoin can provide a good path and bitcoin is a sure step if invested correctly, you just need to be patient and continue to collect responsibly.

How did it feel when you first invested in Bitcoin?
In fact, I lost my taste when I first got to know Bitcoin and my first investment didn't go well, even though the number of buyers wasn't too big. But over time I realized that investing in Bitcoin requires the right knowledge if you don't want to experience losses.

Man City is still not finished, they still have a chance to catch Liverpool at the top. The point difference can still be caught, Pep will probably give direction to score more goals when facing much weaker teams. Man City will not only be aiming for winning points, but they will also compete for more goals. sometimes it can help them when the competition at the top is very tough. However, Liverpool has also performed very well this season. it is not easy for Man City to defend him this season.
They managed to get full points in that match and now put Man City in third place in the standings with 40 points. This time the competition will be even more interesting where the top standings 1 and 2 both have 42 points, while standings 3 and 4 have a total of 40 points. Aston Villa is still in a positive trend even though they were previously defeated by Man United and in the last match they received fairly balanced resistance and in the end managed to get full points.

Man United lost again in last night's match, Erik Ten Hak's troops were forced to play less pressing because Nottingham Forest played quite solidly with their measured pressing. Erik Ten Hak must make changes immediately and if not I'm sure he will be fired by the management because the class of Nottingham Forest can beat them easily what if they face a much stronger team.

Little disagree with some people opinion when marriage will get many source income in the future, we need prepare all thing before marriage and most important with stable financial and have good work before building serious relationship as marriage.  Every day have many unpredictable need and we must spent money exactly after marriage and have children, before building serious relationship or have family prepare saving, good financial set up until good work with enough salary payment for daily needed when having family.
If your view is like this and if you live in a country where it is difficult to get a job then I am sure you will never be able to get married, because as you said, before marriage we must have a stable source of income. We can prepare everything to achieve financial stability, but not everyone can get lucky quickly and when you get married, the prayers of a wife or children will be something that makes things easier.

I went through this experience and maybe everyone doesn't necessarily agree with my views. But if you are serious, getting married will open the way for anyone to work much harder, because by getting married we have responsibilities that need to be carried out, so we will be motivated to work hard and smart in seeking financial freedom.

Good educate for every one before marriage build up good financial and have much saving because if you face difficult with income when marriage I doubt how long your marriage relation will existing. 
If you want to open your eyes then there are many people who get married initially without a stable income and they struggle together towards financial freedom. I experienced this and at the beginning of my marriage it was quite difficult to get stable finances, but when my first child was born everything changed and fortune came from various sides.

You can learn at college, university, get a degree, find a job and work for money or work for Bitcoin directly.

There are many jobs in cryptocurrency and if you have skills in graphic design, marketing, community management, business development and technical skills for customer support, you can find jobs.
It still talks about skills and what I convey is that work does not need to be seen from the extent of their education, but companies can hire someone based on skills. My country is still quite complicated regarding company criteria when accepting workers because they prioritize degrees rather than skills, even though there are still quite a lot of people out there who are not highly educated and have quite good skills in certain fields.

Not everyone is familiar with cryptocurrency so it is impossible for them to get the opportunity to work in graphic design, marketing, community management, business development, and technical skills for customer support like you are talking about. Although I agree there are lots of opportunities for people if they have skills in this area.

I disagree because education is key to have a solid life and can help you to go through hardest time in your life. Nowadays, with open source, Internet, free courses, you can learn even without paying any fee. You don't have to go to college to learn but learning is very important
You don't need to agree with my view, if you fully understand what I am saying because it concerns the level of education if it is not necessarily needed for the issue of finding a job. Education is just a degree as proof that we have had formal education, because out there there are many people who are not highly educated who have succeeded in becoming business people and there are many people who are successful in the world of Entrepreneurship and so on.
308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 30, 2023, 01:03:11 PM
It's true that the Premier League is difficult to predict, sometimes the bottom teams can surprise the big teams, but this time I believe Manchester City will not waste any points and they are ready to pose a serious threat to Arsenal and Liverpool. Man City has returned with double motivation after Arsenal and Tottenham dropped points.

Moreover, if you look at the history of these two teams, Man City is very superior every time they play against the Sheffield United team. Because in fact, Man City has never lost in eleven previous EPL league meetings with Sheffield United.
Man City faces a team that is much easier this week because Sheffield United are not performing well and even from the previous five matches Sheffield United were only able to win one victory against Brentford. Pep Guardiola certainly will not waste good opportunities to win full points because they are currently left behind at the top of the standings so that this fight is very important for him.

Surprisingly Arsenal had to swallow defeat in their own to face West Ham so that his position in the standings was taken over by Liverpool. Man City has the opportunity to be in this match to be ranked second, if he defeated Sheffield United in the match later.

Can't predictable with Mbappe future stay or leaves PSG and joining with Real  Madrid, his contract over on June 2023 but Mbappe not reach new negotiation with PSG about extend contract or not. PSG will try as soon possible to get negotiation and renew Mbappe contract or sell him before transfer window close and earn benefit than loss him as free agent player.

I realized madrid keep silent and not hurry up to sign Mbappe, they won't loss above 100 million for signing Mbappe in January transfer due next season become free agent players and not have spent much money for transfer fees.
Rumors regarding Mbappe's future are still quite confusing because Mbappe has refused to join Real Madrid even though the process has been running quite well in the previous season. On the other hand the player has the desire to join Real Madrid after the problem process that occurs in PSG, but the negotiation process may be quite difficult because even though his drama with PSG after completion, but PSG is unlikely to release Mbappe so fast.

Real Madrid will be enough in the advantage after Mbappe has a free transfer status and if Real Madrid can be patient then when the contract ends in 2023 it will be easier. So let's see how the drama about the future of Mbappe and I think Real Madrid will benefit enough with dramas like this.
310  Economy / Speculation / Re: What are we expecting between now and Bitcoin halving? on: December 29, 2023, 02:19:57 PM
I am just wondering what we are all expecting between now and the Bitcoin halving in April next year. Is it going to be a steady climb till then or is there usually a crash of some kind?
I have never seen stability in the price of bitcoin because of the price fluctuation process and we can never guarantee the rise and fall of the price of bitcoin. I still see a correction or recovery process before it reaches the halving and maybe that's how Bitcoin performs at any time in the market.

Up until now I have just been buying throughout the bear market and not sold anything , my portfolio is currently 26% in profit which I am happy with but wondering if I should keep holding till past the bull run or take some profits now.  
If you intend to achieve maximum profits then holding in the long term until the next ATH is the most appropriate way. But if the concept is to make a profit, then when the buying price is above the selling price, there is no harm in letting go. It depends on your investment concept and how you try to use Bitcoin to generate maximum profits. For me, holding in the long term while accumulating other amounts is an option because when there are more bitcoins it will be quite profitable to sell at the next ATH.

With cases of failed marriages and an increasing population of youths without proper training and upbringing, it's sad to know that the root cause of it is mainly as a result of poor financial structure and plan before entering into marriage.
Getting married is a shift in responsibility where previously our partner was borne by his parents, but after vowing to live with us, that responsibility has completely shifted to us. Getting married is not an easy matter because there are many things we need to prepare and if we don't have a good financial plan it will be quite difficult for us to meet our living needs.

Don't be blended by love as a young person, their are times that love won't be enough to run a home and that's when factors like your financial strength can come through for you.

Being financially buoyant in marriage will even help you love your partner better so try and use your head.
Even though many people say that getting married doesn't require a lot of money to make the family happy, for me we need to prepare better financially because when we are married there are many things that need to be prepared. But furthermore, couples must also accept the process of seeking wealth because it is impossible for us to reach the stage of wealth in an instant way. When support from our partner is there, we can work together to reach a much better level of wealth and if our partner is able to save on expenses while we are still struggling it will be much better.

I struggled with my partner to reach the stage of financial freedom and this support made me even more enthusiastic about seeking fortune. Spouses also have an important role in reaching the stage of financial freedom because their support means a lot to us.

313  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a Replacement for a College Savings Plan on: December 29, 2023, 12:00:42 PM
At this rate, I am seeing that now most corporate companies plan to remove the college degree requirement for jobs, which will transform the college education long term, and its looking like it won't even be needed unless you're going to be a PhD or a Lawyer etc etc.
In my country a diploma is still required to apply for office jobs and if you are not one with a bachelor's degree then work in companies only in the security sector and other freelance jobs. Honestly, I prefer companies that look at skills rather than college degrees because those who have a diploma do not necessarily have skills and vice versa.

The traditional mutual fund / 529 plan isn't really needed anymore if college isn't going to be a requirement, but now I am more so just thinking of a life savings plan is a much better and more flexible option. Maybe just set them each up a wallet and load x amount each making quarterly contributions. By the time they are old enough surely they would have more money in that account anyways compared to the mutual fund, right? 
It really depends on where you put your money and if bitcoin is an option you want to pursue then I totally agree with that plan. If college is no longer necessary, perhaps preparing long-term savings in a much more productive method is really needed and maybe Bitcoin provides a way for anyone to achieve this. It is important to remember that knowledge about how to invest is the main thing that needs to be learned, both how to store assets in a safe place and how to buy bitcoin using several existing strategies.
314  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best piece of advice to anyone going into bitcoin on: December 28, 2023, 06:04:59 PM
Buy a little bit of bitcoin every week don't care if it's a $1, $5, $10, $100, figure out what you can afford every week and buy it, get rid of unnecessary expenses or whatever you can think of getting rid of and spend it on bitcoin
5 to 10 years if you buy some every week you will be a multi millionaire
Any advice will be useful when someone knows what Bitcoin is and how they can run it. Life in this world is not just about investing and even though Bitcoin is one of the best investments, not everyone can get involved in it. This speaks to how someone familiar with Bitcoin knows how to utilize it and the DCA pattern you are referring to will probably be used as the easiest way for people to accumulate purchases on a regular basis.

But back to individuals who intend to get involved in investing and most importantly know how to be responsible when involved in it and don't rush into investing before understanding the correct method. Increase your knowledge and try to invest responsibly and it will be much better than taking the opportunity to purchase a much larger amount.
315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many hours is the best time for a gambler to last while gambling? on: December 28, 2023, 05:13:11 PM
This is a question has different answers for different gamblers. Our gambling styles are different. The number of hours for gambling is whatever the gambler feels overtime is comfortable with. This is the point of satisfaction where they don't feel that they are throwing money away or just gambling to pass time. Each and every one of know that and we know that it changes from time to time. At one time, it may be 30 mins, some other time, it may be 2 hours. Whatever the hours may be, it falls within the range of responsible gambling.
You are right because not all gamblers have ever counted the number of hours and activities they spend on gambling and any problem really depends on the capital they have. For some people who are not addicted, perhaps gambling activities are carried out for a few hours just for fun, but I don't know what happens if gambling activities are carried out by those who are addicted to spending several hours gambling.

In essence, if they actively gamble it will depend on the condition of the capital they have because if they lose and there is no more capital, they will definitely stop on their own. Because without money it is impossible for them to gamble and that is why gambling is not an exact number in my opinion to look at activity hours.

I won't be surprised if Pep Guardiola leaves in coming season to another league or club where they have a champions league spot, because one thing is the club owners of Manchester city also have Girona as theirs and with the performance the club Girona has put up in their league division, it is likely they get to secure a champions league spot while Manchester city has to not.
The same and I will never be surprised when any coach leaves their club because they definitely want to get a new challenge at another club. Likewise, if Pep Guardiola will eventually leave Man City and he will definitely want to get a new challenge with another team, so that he can make new history for his name. Pep Guardiola is a typical smart coach who will go to a club that has good players in order to realize his desire to win a trophy.

Yes, I agree with you because I don't think he is going anywhere. He is going to stay with Manchester City. And maybe people might say that he has already achieved quite enough with Manchester City. But I think he is actually going to stay and try to prove himself more. Because people did want to see him actually defend the English Premier League title and the Champions League title successfully this season. But I am not so sure if he will actually be able to do that or not. Maybe that is the challenge he is actually trying to be successful at, I'm not sure.
Still under contract it is impossible for Pep Guardiola to make the decision to leave because in the contract clause there are a number of agreements that have been agreed. Unless Man City fired him because he failed to bring Man City to compete with other teams, that is another matter that the club might see as no longer needed. I'm not sure he will stay at Man City for long and after his contract ends maybe he will look for another club as a new move and I hope he will go to PSG if possible.
317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any fun in losing while gambling on: December 28, 2023, 04:04:20 PM
The hope of making another win to replace the losses are also a sign of chasing after losses and over the time, thy singular act has never been favorable and I also agree with you that every gambler basically bets to win but they can’t do anything when the losses come  which is another affirmative that gambling is programmed for a player to loss and I also agree with you that the anxiety between winning and losing is where the fun lies since nothing is actually guaranteed but the truth be told that fun will be more appropriate if the winning is over the losses
It is also not certain that you will be able to recover previous losses in the next gambling because gambling is so risky of losing and even though people say there is a chance in the next game. Gambling must be done responsibly because when we lose, it does not affect us nor will we make assumptions that in the next gambling game we will return all the capital we lost before.

From what I see gambling cannot be calculated with exact numbers because there is uncertainty when we are involved in it. Gambling is just for fun, usually only with a prepared budget and even if we lose we can accept it. I lose quite often at gambling and I have never been as lucky as other people who engage in gambling activities like this.
318  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 28, 2023, 03:11:25 PM
Man City are below their usual standards but they are going nowhere. They are still in the title race, they can’t afford to drop too many points in the next month or so but they are well capable of going on long winning runs.

I think after reaching such highs of winning the treble, it’s natural to fall off a bit but they are still fighting to defend their title. 
Maybe because some of the players they have are suffering from injuries, which affects Man City when they play. I'm not really sure that this season Man City has a chance to win the Premier League because on the other hand Liverpool and Arsenal are increasingly mature and have shown much better consistency than Man City. If in the next few matches they lose again, it will be much less possible for Man City to win the title because Arsenal and Liverpool will be quite far apart.

Winning the treble last season put pressure on Man City because the burden of defending it will be much heavier, especially when talking about the Premier League, which is so competitive every year where the bottom clubs can provide surprises like Aston Villa did. Currently Man City is not in its best performance because it has lost several important players in its squad.
319  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin create an opportunity to reduce poverty? on: December 27, 2023, 06:03:37 PM
Eliminating poverty in its entirety won't be possible, but since the current system is built such that those with money and power can extract wealth from the poor, BTC can offer the poor an alternative to save their wealth in a place that makes extraction harder, though not impossible through secondary ways. If a poorer person is saving in BTC and needs to use it at some point to make an investment (perhaps pursuing a business idea), those BTC will someone be reinjected into the bad system. But it does give people an option to protect their wealth from being taken away in some of the ways the current system is destined to allow for. Talking about one architecture based on algorithms as the ultimate savior goes too far. But considering BTC as one factor of many to fight poverty is certainly a comprehensible consideration
It doesn't sound as easy as imagined and I have seen how poverty makes people increasingly lazy to seek knowledge and they even lose their enthusiasm for making savings in any form. If you see poor people who have bitcoin and they can buy gold for example, then I can say they are not really poor people, but rather they are people who have the opportunity to get out of the poverty line in their own style and way. It's very different from real poor people and they can't even afford their children's education, so how can we talk about technological advances or the investment system that exists in bitcoin.

I believe that bitcoin is a good step to reach the stage of financial freedom but to what extent are poor people able to realistically see this opportunity to get involved in investing. When people have difficulty meeting their daily food needs then that person has no chance of being seen in bitcoin or in any investment in my opinion.
320  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many hours is the best time for a gambler to last while gambling? on: December 27, 2023, 05:04:43 PM
Gambling is for fun, and actually, if someone wants to have fun gambling, there is no way they can spend six hours gambling or even spend the rest of their day gambling.
This means they don't gamble for fun but it is an addiction that makes it difficult for them to stop. They are not people who are looking for pleasure, but fall into the category of addiction because they are no longer able to control time or clocks. If gambling is just for fun then they should be able to stop at any time and have nothing to do with time or clock.

In my opinion,  the more time one decides to spend on gambling, the more money they lose. For example, if I spend like one hour gambling and another gambler spends like six hours gambling, which one of us do you think will spend more money?
The question is quite easy to answer and it is certain that people who are involved in gambling for a long time will lose a lot of money compared to people who are involved in gambling for only one hour. Let's say they can be lucky for the first hour when they are involved in gambling and make a win, but can they guarantee to get a winning streak in the next hour.
