Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

I agree with you and I also see that the weakness lies in the mentality. Almost all of Arsenal's players have great abilities, but they lack the mentality that has led to their failure to win the Premier League title in the previous three seasons.
Arteta needs to improve the players' mentality when facing competition, as they have so far lacked confidence.
Finishing second in the standings for three seasons isn't bad considering the quality of the players Arsenal have, so they need to develop a winning mentality for next season.

This is not just about mentality alone, it's just unfortunate. I don't think all of their players will have that poor winning mentality at the same time. Moreover, they have players like J5 and Havert in their midst and they have different mindset because they are UCL winners players. Again, everything is wrong with finishing second for good three seasons because they had the chance to make a difference but they took it for granted and paid for it. You can not be doing the same thing over and expect a different result. Arsenal usually start their season with a very decent and good performance but relent towards the end of the season when other teams are pushing harder thereby making their finishing at average level.

Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)
by

on 24/07/2025, 09:23:36 UTC
Premier League clubs are spending big. Arsenal, City, Chelsea and Liverpool are all set to spend over €200m in the transfer market. But Serie A clubs are lagging far behind. Juventus, Milan and Napoli are perhaps the biggest spenders.

Napoli spent around €75m on Beukema, Noa lang, Marianucci and Lucca.
Inter Milan spent around €66m on Henrique, Bonny, Sucic and Zalewaski.
Juventus management spent around €90m on Concacao, Gonzalez, Kalulu and Gregorio.
No team has reached the €100m mark. Have Serie A clubs suddenly become poor? Or are the owners no longer interested in spending more money on running their clubs?

But is it even fair to compare these two league? Premier league can not be compared to Italian Serie A in every angle one can think of and we shouldn't expect Italian teams to spend as much as Premier league teams. A team can only spend huge amount of money during transfer market depending on their revenue generation and the management zeal to invest in the team. Majority of Italian clubs management are not longer willing to invest heavily in their teams again perhaps due to low income. I don't blame the club owners, they are just playing smart and financial wise because it doesn't make sense wasting so much money without result to show for it.

Re: Best way to exchange one coin to another ?

How about some cex market? Mexc has no KYC and been able to use that exchange for trading any coins and tokens without doing any identity proof even memecoin trading is allowed there. Regarding low transaction fee I barely noticed it. But if you are looking for dex then theres uniswap, 1inch, pancake and many more.
CEX is risky for KYC free deposit and withdrawal if op want to make transaction a smart amount. Because if the amount is large, MEXC may demand KYC. Although I have not received such a report yet, it is better not to take the risk if the amount is large and there is a problem with the KYC for op.

uniswap, 1inch, pancakeswap, Jupiter, SUN, STON.fi These DEXs are good for chains like eth, bsc, base, tron, ton but do you have any dex to swap Bitcoin to make a stable coin? I have never used any DEX for Bitcoin. So in this case CEX is needed. What could be this solution? i am also searching this like op

I had a few transactions with Mexc in the past and yeah they don't require KYC for tier 0/1 level but you'll have limited access to their services until you complete their KYC. With Non KYC account, you can only be allowed to trade little amount. You'll be compelled to do KYC if you want high transaction volume.

I think Uniswap offer BTC to USDT pairs but haven't really try it. As for pancake, it only allows BTCB (wrapped Bitcoin) to other pairs and not direct BTC to other pairs. How about trying other platforms like best change and the likes?

Re: Why are you taking profit on bitcoin?

1. Using the money to actually spend it on unnecessary luxuries (emphasis on unnecessary, as there is nothing bad to get some luxury for your self).


Well, no matter how long you intend to hold, you'll definitely take profit at a point or probably sell off everything entirely (not recommended thou) but no one is holding it forever unless they lose access to their wallet. Again, there's no point taking profit to spend on unnecessary luxuries but what seems unnecessary to you might be necessary for others. In this case, as far as they take profit and they can account for it, it's fine.

Quote
2. ⁠It is wrong to take profit and abandon it on fiat currency, that’s going from an asset with a store of value to one with devaluing characteristics.

I agree with this. However, if they are afraid of market fluctuation and prefer to take profit for whatever reason, they should convert to stable coins and hold it instead of holding fiat that devalue overtime due to inflation.

Quote
3. ⁠Taking profit to actually invest into altcoins because there is predicted alt season coming with some Altcoins been rumored to be able to do 5x or more is a capital gambling which mostly results more into losses than profits.

I consider this as a financial mistake and should be avoided at all cost.

Jackson was among the average players that was bought by the former coach of Chelsea and since that time, I haven't seen any significant impact that he has made in order for the club to achieve success. This is the main reason why I am against the swap of Gnarcho to Jackson because it's like moving from fry pan to fire. He has been given several opportunities to make a difference but he couldn't.

You call that deal from frying pan to fire? Nicholas Jackson is not good enough and we all agree on that but Manchester united should bless their God if that deal happen. Without sentiment or being bias, which of the Manchester United forward can confidently beat their chest and say they're better than Jackson with statistically proven fact? Absolutely none. Jackson can be a flop at Chelsea but can't be compare with any Manchester united forward. The only thing that seems to make this deal unnecessary for Manchester united is because they already made some good signings to improve their front otherwise, Jackson will have been a good addition to their bunch of ineffective players in that front.

Well, that price does seem a bit too high for Nicolas Jackson. It's not that I doubt his abilities. However, his position at Chelsea is actually a bit uncertain. Chelsea has already signed several new players for the position usually occupied by Nicolas Jackson, so Chelsea should be able to lower the price a bit if they really intend to let him go. Or maybe Chelsea doesn't intend to let him go. I don't know.

Yeah, I read somewhere that AC Milan and Napoli made an approach but Jackson rejected it because he want to stay in the Premier league. Manchester united is showing keen interest but seriously speaking, the 70m Chelsea is expecting is too much for Jackson considering his current form. I know Jackson is not that bad when compared to the likes of Nunez, Hojlund and Havertz statically but regardless, 70m should be able to afford like three players at Jackson level. Chelsea bought this guy 30m and there hasn't been a positive transformation since then that will increase his market value to what Chelsea is currently demanding.

Re: Ensuring generational wealth

on 23/07/2025, 10:26:37 UTC
I hear a lot of young people wishing they can build generational wealth for their kids. The kids of their kids and the kids of their kids' kids. But is it really up to us? We can build wealth now and leave all our assets to our kids but how can be sure they can protect the wealth and make it grow even more?

Honestly the best thing we can do is to teach our kids and hope that all the things we got to accomplish for them won't be put into waste. Build your portfolio now. Invest in assets that will be profitable in the long term so you can leave this to your kids.

Aren't we still discussing the same thing here? You can build your portfolio or make profitable investment for the sake of your children but in the long run, they might end liquidating every of your efforts in a twinkle of an eyes once you are no more. Building a generational wealth is not necessary in my opinion as we've seen many of such efforts end up in vain when the primary builder dies.

Advisably, people should start teaching their children how to build wealth themselves instead of attempting to build wealth to leave behind for them. These children don't know how and what you passed through to accumulate whatever you are leaving behind for them to feast on but teach them to use their sweat to build portfolio for themselves and I assure you they'll protect it at cost from collapsing.

Having 10% Bitcoin holding is not that bad, at least for a beginner and you know, you can increase your holding as time goes on and how well you can tolerate the risk. Meeting up with family responsibility should always come first before investment. Don't be aggressive with investment and abandon your responsibility.

Well I agree with you that Amorin took charge at the middle of the season which everyone expected him to wait till the end of the season before joining. I can't blame him for not having results because he joined mid season and also and had to use the players he met at the club. We all gave him the grace of last season but we will judge his performance this season and if we don't see results then people will start criticizing him. I am sure there will be a lot of difference in the team, the performance and tactics and I am seeing Manchester United get better under his management.

Well, this is football and there's no excuse for anyone's failure. It doesn't matter whether he joins at the beginning, middle or end of the season. What matters to the team and fans is result and as far as he's not giving them the desire result, criticism will kick in immediately. Manchester united makes some new signings to boost their squad strength and no doubt, we expect to some drastic changes and developments in the upcoming season. Amorin should not end up like predecessor that becomes a nightmare for united despite winning a trophy for them.

There's no problem between Vinicius and Mbappé. This is just news that's been constantly pushed by the media without any clear explanation or evidence. It's simply because Real Madrid's attack played poorly last season, leading many to speculate that Vinicius and Mbappé don't have a good relationship. But I don't think so.
I'm also confident that Vinicius and Mbappé won't be sold; this is Real Madrid's long-term plan for their attack.

Under Xabi Alonso, we don't know what strategy he'll employ, but what's certain is that Vinicius and Mbappé will remain in their positions and both will continue to play in Real Madrid's starting lineup.

This is not about media pushing anything about the two players, it's about what we saw during their play together in almost every game. I'm not saying there's problem between Vini and Mbappe but judging from what we normally watch, something is not actually right between the two of them because you could clearly see the passion to dominate and the exhibition of selfishness which immensely contributed to the attack failure last season. Both Vini and Mbappe are good assets for any team but they can only achieve success together only if they unite themselves and do away with their personal ego.

Nothing matters more than your life, not even Bitcoin.

I think there's misunderstanding here. Is there any one that compares life and Bitcoin? I don't think so. Nothing can be definitely compared with life but that doesn't mean we should overlook opportunities when one comes around us. It's natural for people to make fun of others when they tried something and it work out for them while other were reluctant to take action. Likewise, people who failed to act mock them in return when it back fire. You don't have control over that. I don't care whether people invest now or not, their financial decision is solely their own responsibility.

Rodrygo was one of the most useful players last season. I don't understand why he was left out when Alonso arrived.
I didn't see him at the Club World Cup. I thought he was injured, but it turns out he was in a different situation.
If he's not in Real's plans, Rodrygo leaving would be beneficial for him. Many clubs would want him. If he wants to leave, there are plenty of clubs in the Arabian League interested in him.
He's a useful player, but as far as I can tell, he doesn't fit into Alonso's system.
I really can’t place my hands on the possible reason he is not finding favor with Xabi Alonso. During the Club World Cup Xabi Alonso gave his reason for leaving him out on the bench to be tactical decisions so let’s hope a shift in tactics will see him return to first team line up when the season starts.

This guy is still young and has a career to pursue for God's sake. If Alonso doesn't want to include him in his plan, he should be clear about it and allow the guy to move to where he'll be valued. Not only the Arabian clubs but even some Premier league clubs are interested in the guy. There's no certainty working with Xabi as Alonso only used Rodrygo in his debut match and dropped him from his second team without update on what really transpired between them. If it was due to tactical reasons for his action to drop the guy at the moment, then it's fine and hope to see him back in the squad but if it otherwise, it would be better they allow him to leave.

Yet another football fan judging Ten Hag due to his past Manchester United history, people need to understand that Ten Hag is definitely a good manager but no matter what he needs time to rebuild this Bayer Leverkusen team that has lost almost four key players with the likes of Jonathan Tah, Florian Wirtz and Jeremy Frimpong who were back bone of club last season are out and This will affect the imbalance of the club and the playing pattern which he needs to rebuild fast.

Seriously, it sounds disgusting seeing football fans making fun of this and judging the bald man just after his first game. For goodness sake, this man just arrived at Leverkusen and he's still getting use to the players available in the squad to know how he'll make use of them when new season begins. I perceive it as a pure hatred towards the man and wishing for his downfall in his new club. I don't know whether fans expect him to perform magic and transform the team overnight. It's unfortunate, the man already has a dent to his name from Manchester United experience and it'll be difficult to clean at the moment.

Re: Is KuCoin a scam? Destructive reviews on trustpilot

I considered using KuCoin (based in Singapore) because a friend told me that they have a KuCoin card and they do not share information with foreign governments.
I have done nothing illegally, but I do value my privacy.

So I read into KuCoin and found reviews on trustpilot.
It gives them a score of 1.5 out of 5 and there is a huge list of traders who lost their funds.

What are your experiences with this place?
I am looking for smart ways to cash out in Q4 of this year, but it seems very difficult.

And I'm still wondering what this topic is doing in Bitcoin discussion board  Sad

As far as I know, Kucoin is one of the reputable exchanges at the moment. I have been using Kucoin for more than three years now and never have problem with them. Regarding the review on trustpilot, I can't disregard it since everyone has a unique experience using any platform. One thing I know is that a user region also contribute to this exchanges treat them since they are operating according to region jurisdiction.

This link is invalid. I tried to take a look at the twitter post but the link looks broken already. Please fix it if you can.

My question is: how efficient are these AIs really? Do they significantly improve a trader's overall profit and loss ratio, or is the improvement only marginal?

Well, they are efficient to some extent but you should be aware that this bots are being built with a program by someone. You should know what that means already. In case you don't know, it means you're using someone's else idea to trade. Just like every other machine, there might be a misfunction at times which put your money at stake.

Quote
Has anyone else here used a similar AI for trading? What was your experience like?

I haven't used it yet because it doesn't worth trying. Trading is not just about placing buy/sell order to make profit. It's more of learning, risk management and of course the joy to see yourself improve in analysis. Using AI bot takes away all of these pleasures.

You're wondering why a lazy bum would leave?! We've said this over and over on here and it's useless repeating that stuff. The more you ruminate about his time with Manchester United,  the more you go mad about it. I don't wish him bad, but godspeed with his next phase with Barcelona. As much as Hansi Flick approves,  then he will sure pay attention to his performance and improvement of Rashford.

What was this guy offense at Manchester united if I may ask please? Why are Manchester United being pained over this guy? Like what aspect are you guys judging from that makes him a lazy player? As far as I know, Rashford doesn't own the club just like any other players and was not the first player to start missing chances. I know he's not up to what Manchester United was expecting from him but at least he deserve some respect if not for anything, at least for wearing the red jersey. I think it's high time people do away with sentiment and emotion when rating and judging this guy. The only thing I can see about this guy is just a young guy who's interested in pursuing his career and he's been great to some extent in my opinion.

Real Madrid can now do without Vinicius Jr because they've the necessary player for the club's growth. Madrid president, Florentino Pérez will go for the best stars in the transfer market. He will always do anything to ensure he's sealing the big moves, no time to be relentint because he needs to bring back the glory days in Santiago Bernabéu.

Vinicius Jr no longer seen as the standing pillar in the club? I don't think so, he's just having some rough time but he will definitely bounce back to winning streaks, he just have to make sure he's on the right path and making efforts to bounce back to limelight. Perhaps the new coach, Xabi Alonso will enchance matters and make things a little bit smooth for the Brazilian.

I read this like three times but it sounds to me as if you're contradicting yourself. In the first paragraph, you said Real Madrid can do without Vinicius Jr because the Madrid president is going for the star players to bring back the old glory to Santiago Bernabeu and in your second paragraph, you admit Vinicius Jr is the pillar of the team but just going through a tough time that requires time for Brazilian to bounce back.

Well, wether Vinicius Jr is a pillar for Real Madrid squad or not, he's just a player like any other players and he can choose to stay or leave the club at the end of his contract but the club will remain as if nothing happens. Messi depart Barcelona and heaven did not fall. Ronaldo left Manchester United and the team still remains. I can go on to mention but it's not necessary. Saudi is showing interest in the Brazilian forward already and there's nothing to be worried about even if the deal comes to pass.

many small businesses didn’t adopt bitcoin which hindered bitcoin being adopted by the masses

Bitcoin is not suitable for small businesses and small transactions due to fees. You might end up paying more fees than the actual amount you're supposed to pay for a particular transaction. And by the way, adoption is quite different from being used as a legal tender. One can exist without the other.
