Re: Fiat currency VS Bitcoin

We experience and will still experiencing the waves of changes and uncertainty. Will Bitcoin eventually replace Fiat currency? Why or why do you not think so?
I'd also like to hear your reasons for why Bitcoin will replace fiat. Bitcoin's purpose was not to replace or compete with fiat, but rather to provide an alternative to the problems caused by monetary policy issues with fiat currencies themselves. This then creates unnecessary comparisons, as Bitcoin can coexist with any fiat currency. This is the root cause of people seeing Bitcoin as a rival or even a potential replacement for fiat currencies.

Honestly, I hope Bitcoin can become an alternative that everyone can utilize, so that its presence doesn't disrupt the fiat currency system and instead can coexist, allowing all communities to benefit from its advantages. Thus, we have options if we want to choose one, based on the advantages and strengths of each.

With this first win, at least AC Milan can have better confidence, giving them a chance to top the standings. Lecce is basically not a worthy opponent for AC Milan since they are a mediocre club. The strength of the two teams is certainly not balanced, so I don't think AC Milan strength this season has been fully tested. I think AC Milan true strength can only be seen when they face fellow elite Serie A teams.

However, considering AC Milan is only focused on domestic competition, Allegri job should be a bit easier to get his team back on track. Last season, AC Milan finished eighth, Allegri should be able to guide AC Milan to a top four finish and secure a Champions League spot when the season ends.
Lecce is not one of the strongest teams in Serie A, and AC Milan's victory in that match doesn't reflect the team's strength. The real test will come when AC Milan faces a much more evenly matched team. Lecce a less strong team, can pose a real challenge for AC Milan, as I saw them struggle to break down Folcone's goal in the first half, despite his excellent performance.

Not participating in various competitions should have made it easier for Allegri to fight for a chance to finish higher this season, but judging by the quality of their performance in the previous two matches, it seems they are struggling to consistently achieve wins, and this is something the coach needs to improve.

What you describe is happening in the country where I live now, because economic growth in my country is completely chaotic and not on the right track. Not to mention the corruption and strange regulations that have angered the people to the point of holding large demonstrations at government offices, which have not subsided to this day. Sometimes I wonder why the council, elected by the people, is making arbitrary rules against them, causing such unwanted chaos. Hopefully, there will be peace in the next few days, because if this chaos continues, I fear the country will collapse again, and the situation will be quite dire.
I also live in the same country as you and am familiar with the problems our country faces. The public has become so disillusioned with government policies that are not in favor of the people that demonstrations are almost inevitable now. Leaders are no longer able to guarantee the welfare of the people, and their policies have created a lot of unrest, harming the people themselves.

If the government doesn't adopt the right policies and change its mindset for better policies, our country will experience a much greater economic crisis because the demonstrations are now almost uncontrollable. These demonstrations stem from corruption and the policies that have sparked the entire population to protest against their current policies.

Manchester United have spent over £200 million this season but have yet to show any improvement in quality. Today's match against Burnley also illustrated their poor form; they should have scored more goals. In this match, United's players were poor at finishing. Furthermore, it is reported that Amorim is still looking for other players. The potential departures of Hojlund, Garnacho, and Maino. However, we only have a limited transfer window remaining. I hope Manchester United does not panic in finalizing these transfers.
It's a significant sum to bring in a number of players who are considered capable of making a difference, and so far, these players' arrivals haven't completely transformed Manchester United's playing style for the better. The front line seems to lack a goal-scoring instinct, especially for players like Joshua Zirkzee, who actually had more opportunities and chances to score in this match.

Maino is expected to stay at Manchester United because I see his ability, especially given his young age. Cunha had to be taken off in that match, and we hope it's not a serious injury, because if he can't play in the next few matches, Man United's performance will definitely be quite problematic.

Development is a good thing to every nation that wants to develop.building of good schools, hospitals, good security network, human capital development, good roads,a better environment to leave and do business, job creation, shunning nepotism, favoritism, free and fair election etc are all ingredients of developed nations . the reverse is the case for under developed countries.So can the under developed countries get it right?
Human resources and leaders with a vision and mission for progress should be able to lift a country out of decline because they have the access to do so. However, sometimes this is difficult to achieve because existing leaders do nothing, not to mention the lack of human resources capable of making real changes. Some arguments refer to political systems where leaders are selected based on various methods, but if elections still rely on money, then leaders cannot expect to make real changes for their country.

Corruption has become rampant and destroyed all sectors of economic growth, preventing any growth that brings change to the people within it. Economic problems are becoming increasingly complicated due to crises and recessions occurring everywhere, thus making the economic growth sector for a country worse.

As I wrote before the match, AC Milan doesn't inspire me with confidence to place bets. If they don't stabilize and therefore start playing regular matches, placing a bet is still a risk I don't want to take right now.
Too unpredictable. I want to see what they can do against well-placed clubs and then take the risk of placing a few bets.
The analysis of the odds of victory is the reason why people are willing to bet on this match even though we cannot guarantee victory with certainty. I'm also hesitant to bet on AC Milan because I see them as not strong enough to beat Cremonese, and this is evident in their defeats against much weaker teams. So, betting on a team like this is very risky because it's difficult to predict.

AC Milan actually managed to win against Lecce, although it was a bit more difficult. AC Milan still has many weaknesses, and the coach needs to make changes if they want to face the competition in Serie A this season, otherwise it will be very difficult for AC Milan to balance the competition of other strong teams in Serie-A.

I have seen the same thing with gamblers too, they lose, and lose and lose, and keep chasing those losses and keep losing more, without changing much. That's not a good move and you should avoid doing something like that. We are going to get a lot better results if we are calm and handle the loss in a mature way. Experience does allow you to be better in that regard, because if you are experienced then you are going to get a lot better without a doubt so we should not be worried and just keep trying.
Most people think that when they experience a loss, seeking revenge immediately will provide an opportunity to recover previous losses. This actually makes it harder for them to understand responsible trading, resulting in the same situation as gambling. Experience teaches us to continually understand the mistakes we make in trading, allowing us to gradually change our trading patterns and strategies appropriately.

While trading isn't 100% foolproof, as there are times when we still experience losses even if we're considered quite professional, at least this approach can make someone more responsible and disciplined when trading, rather than forcing yourself to trade excessively without a clear strategy.

I don’t usually leave a game when I see a good cash out but I trusted my guts and won. Have you had experience where you choose your opinion over logic advice from friends and won or lost let’s hear it.
It doesn't always work for me because sometimes following logical advice or instinct in gambling still leads to losses. For example, when betting on football, relying on logical advice or instinct doesn't always result in winning bets. Although in some cases, following your own instincts when placing bets is far better than following the logical advice of others.

There's no guarantee that gambling can be handled properly because sometimes things happen so quickly, and I've even cashed out because I misanalyzed a football bet even though I followed my instincts and analysis correctly.

This match will definitely create high tension because both teams want to get a good result but in my opinion Liverpool is a strong team in attack while Arsenal is a strong team in defense so I don't think there will be many goals in this match even though both teams are dominant in attack but if the defense is equally strong there will be only a few goals and only one will win, I think Liverpool has the advantage because they are playing at home which of course will be more confident.
Most people will definitely consider Liverpool as a strong candidate who will come out as the winner in the match but I see Arsenal's chances of achieving victory are also quite large. This depends on the strategy of each coach in dealing with resistance and Arteta must be aware of Liverpool's front lines at this time so great that the focus can be more on the defense that needs to be improved.

I do not expect the match to take place easier because these two teams are strong candidates as the winner of the trophy this season so that we want to see how one of them can achieve victory in a much more impressive way and I hope Arsenal come out as winners in the match.

I skipped those parts when I first started learning, so my life wasn't going well. I relied solely on my determination as my initial capital without preparing for the worst-case scenario or how to anticipate it. The worst part was that I stopped and went back to working like before, forgetting about trading. Eventually, things improved, and I started learning again slowly. This is just a little story I can share. Thank you for reading.
I also experienced the same thing and spent a little more money trading, but because I didn't have the proper knowledge, I ended up quitting and going back to my normal life. In late 2023, I met someone who had knowledge on how to properly engage in trading, and I started learning again with him using a small amount of capital. Long story short, I managed to recover all my previous trading losses to this day thanks to the knowledge taught to me through the disciplined method.

An important lesson I learned from trading is never to push for big profits and don't immediately seek revenge after experiencing losses in previous trades. I learned a lot about this, and he always advised me to be disciplined, even if the profits were small in a single trade.

Re: Bitcoin investment failed

on 29/08/2025, 12:39:28 UTC
I want to share my experience. Whether someone has already discussed it on this forum or not, I don't understand it. I'm not promoting anything, just sharing my experience. Between 2009 and 2011, I was actively surfing the internet on public internet services. At that time, during the early days of Bitcoin's launch, there were many faucet websites giving away Bitcoin, and I was one of those who received it. At the time, I was also very young and didn't understand what investing, let alone Bitcoin, was. So, I ended up exchanging the Bitcoins I collected, whether from referrals or websites, on Gemscool, an online gaming website, due to my lack of understanding of investing at the time.
Almost everyone does that, and you're not the only one. I think it's a very frustrating experience because we get free Bitcoin but end up exchanging it for nothing. If we had held on to it and sold it when the price started to rise, we would now be among the richest people in our respective countries. I consider it a life experience and shouldn't have any regrets, because every experience teaches us to continue growing.

It's best for now to focus on reaching the investment stage and how to slowly accumulate Bitcoin. There's no need to rush, as opportunities are still available and the most important thing is to be willing to start again, as I'm sure most people have experienced the same thing as you in the past.

I understand that feeling from both the manager and fans but the truth is, even on paper, Benfica is a better team than  Fenerbahçe. I already knew that was the end of the road for Mourinho and his boys when I saw the fixture. Just this morning it's been reported that Mourinho has been sacked by the clubs management. Mourinho is now without a club and a free agent as at this moment.
Material-wise players owned, the two teams should be evenly matched, but Benfica's momentum this season is much better than Fenerbahçe's, allowing them to achieve much more impressive results. In football, this is a common occurrence, and sometimes we can't attribute it to coincidence, as Benfica's preparation and quality are superior.

Being in a weaker team doesn't guarantee Jose Mourinho the opportunity to achieve more, as they struggle to keep up with the stronger teams. I'm still confident that many clubs will trust him to be their coach, even if Fenerbahçe eventually fires him.

Re: Education and rural-urban migration
by

on 28/08/2025, 13:46:52 UTC
Most studies show that the members of rural communities who are most likely to migrate to urban centers are those who have been to school. The studies seem to show a consistent positive correlation between an individual's level of education his propensity to migrate. REASONS (1) The income gap between what the 'educated' ones can earn in urban areas compared with their rural opportunity cost is larger than it is for the illiterate ones.(2) The educated ones are more likely to obtain a lucrative modern sector job. But because jobs are scarce,a large proportion of those who migrate often remain unemployed.
In my country there are no clear statistics considering that many rural residents who decide to go abroad to find work as migrant workers are more likely to be those without higher education. Conversely, people who migrate to cities in search of better jobs due to access to higher education generally do not show significant statistics. In my area, there are even farmers who are college graduates because they have difficulty finding decent work due to their love of the knowledge they gained at university, so farming or gardening is the only way to survive.

If people are able to develop their skills in the agricultural and plantation sectors, they also have the opportunity to achieve a better life. We're not talking about jobs that rely solely on white-collar jobs and sitting in an office agricultural and plantation resources can also lead to financial success if managed properly and made more progressive..

That is sad because it's very short term, and I do not understand why the market reacts the way it reacts knowing that it will be all for nothing in a few days anyways. I get that the rates didn't cut down like people hoped it would, and that did made the price go down. Like I get it, that's the reason, and I understand that, because if the rates were cut, the return on interest would be lower, and some people would take it out of the interest, and put it in bitcoin was the hope, and that did not happen so price went low. But why drop to 111k?

When you know it will be recovering, we know it will do better and it is not going to be that bad at all. We should expect it to be better on the long run, so why agree to sell at lower?
There are several reasons that cause Bitcoin to fall at the price of 111 thousand and although the trigger is not on slaughtering interest rates there may be other influences that make Bitcoin down at that price. Another example may be found in macroeconomic factors that are likely to contribute to the decline in bitcoin. But if asked specifically I cannot explain why the decline occurs because sometimes bitcoin is difficult to predict based on the performance that occurs in the market today.

This is also another part of the process we are discussing, and some traders consider this a momentum for liquidity pickup, so they try to manipulate the market direction, which ultimately affects Riter traders at the stop-loss stage used. This kind of price decline process also often occurs in Bitcoin because Riter traders also have influence. For the long -term process it might not be worried because after the price of getting a severe correction there will always be a recovery momentum to bring Bitcoin to reach ATH in the next cycle.

Re: Are you very addicted to gambling??

How can a real gambler get out of his addiction??
Breaking out of addiction is not an easy process and may require strong motivation, allowing people to choose other, more rewarding activities. There are several methods that may be necessary to break free from addiction, such as going to rehab or seeking out counseling in an effort to cure the addiction. Although difficult, the chances are high for someone who wants to break free.

What is your reason for gambling? Do you want to make money by gambling or do you gamble just for fun?
This is another question related to the addiction process discussed in the paragraph above, so the answer may vary from person to person. I view gambling as a hobby and more of a fun activity, considering that I enjoy football. This applies to me when I want to place a bet on my favorite club, which makes me more enthusiastic about watching football.

If I end up winning from that bet, I might consider it a bonus because I never bet large amounts, making me more relaxed about losing.

I thought a new goal-scoring record would be set in the Club Brugge-Rangers match, but it wasn't. The score was 6-0 in the 52nd minute. After that, Club Brugge had more possession but didn't choose to attack Rangers. Perhaps they found six goals sufficient. The substitutions may have also affected Team Brugge's tempo.

I found Brugge to be very good. Brugge could achieve greater success in the Champions League this year.
The big win came at home to Club Brugge, even though they also won the first leg 3-1 at Rangers. The substitutions were necessary, considering that Club Brugge were comfortable with their wins in both matches. I didn't imagine Rangers losing in this manner, as I initially thought they could match Brugge's strengths, as the two teams should be fairly evenly matched.

But the reality was the opposite, and Brugge performed much better in both away and home matches. This victory can boost the motivation of Brugge players because they have performed so solidly so far and hope for the best this season for Brugge in the Champions League.

Manipulation is inevitable and it happens in every financial market, not just bitcoin. But as far as I know, bitcoin price reacted positively after the Fed chairman's statement and then quickly dropped sharply because a whale sold more than 24,000 BTC, equivalent to more than $4 billion.

Furthermore, Powell only hinted that the Fed would cut rates, but he did not say for sure that a rate cut would happen in September. Therefore, we should not be surprised that the market remains cautious and not overly optimistic.
Short-term manipulation is a constant in financial markets, and it applies to everything. The Fed's statement is always eagerly awaited by some to exploit market opportunities, and its words can always lead to two opposing positions by the time the speech concludes. The Fed's power to raise or cut interest rates has always had a short-term influence on financial markets, and Bitcoin's trajectory is no exception.

Recently, we saw a reversal in Bitcoin's price movement, with a significant drop from its all-time high. We need to be careful in facing uncertain market situations like now so that we can take several steps to avoid unwanted losses, in this way we can be wiser in seeing existing opportunities.

Re: Earning salary or owning a business which is better

Salary earners end up spending their salary buying from the business owners making the business owners to get profit from the business while the salary earners end up with nothing.
I've always preferred building my own business, even on a small scale, rather than seeking a job affiliated with a monthly salary for someone else, such as the government. This foundation has fueled more productive thinking because I have more control over my own business in some way. Not everyone does the same thing, and I'm sure everyone has a different perspective on opportunities. However, for those who embrace challenges in life, building their own business is much more independent.

The opportunity to achieve financial freedom is better by building your own business than relying on a monthly salary from another job. With a business, we have the opportunity to achieve success. Building a business is certainly not easy, but if you pursue it diligently, there is definitely a path to success.

Many times new arrivals change the fate of a team because they don't find much affinity with each other, but I have to say that there are many players who, once in the team, manage to do very well and have fun and make others have fun and play well with their teammates too, so it's not a given that they don't get along well with each other.
Every season team makes changes by acquiring players they need, and Chelsea has done the same, like many other teams, but these changes don't immediately translate into significant results. Chelsea has a very large squad because the previous season brought in players who were generally quite young, so the team hasn't been able to give their best in terms of quality and experience.

This season will be a big challenge for Chelsea in competing for the title. Although it will be difficult with many challenges to overcome, there is hope due to the changes made by management. At least, even if they don't win the title, the competition this season can be much more competitive, with the hope that Chelsea can keep up with the other teams.

I can't say no, she played very well but was unlucky towards the end
but let's remember that he reached the Champions League final, so this must already be a milestone to be respected
many others just talked and did practically nothing, so I'd say that's fair enough.
Wins in the first, second, and third matches don't necessarily mean either team has the best chance of competing for the title, as there are still many considerations that every team in Serie A must go through until the end of the season. Inter Milan has always been able to put up a fight in Serie A in recent seasons, but Napoli's dominance so far has been far superior, so what needs to be considered is how Inter Milan can consistently perform.

Last season, these two teams were involved in a fairly tight competition, with both vying for the best. Napoli itself was able to take advantage of the situation because Inter Milan had a greater focus on the Champions League so Napoli took advantage of the situation and managed to achieve the Scudetto, something like this that Inter Milan needs to avoid this season.
