No doubt, Bayern Munich owns the Bundesliga Cup this season. They are used to it, and leading the closest rival by 8 points now means that they will most likely win the trophy this season, just as they always do. But for the UCL, it won't be an easy task for them, and TBH, I believe they will not win. This is not their usual easy home league dominance. The only two important teams it has met in the UCL this season are Arsenal and PSG, and it wasn't able to defeat Arsenal. The club will still meet more teams to prove their worthiness in the tourney, which I think will externally expose them.

I don't support any action on Bitcoin other than selling for now, otherwise, the trader/investor should wait if buying is the sole desire. My weekly chart above has said it all.

The price action indicates a sell, the OsMA indicates a sell, the MACD indicates a sell, the trendline indicates a sell (and it will remain so if the market holds below $99,839), and finally, the Fibonacci indicates a sell and will remain so if the market holds below 23.6% Fibo level at $99,839, which is coincidentally the same level as the trendline. This makes the level even more powerful.

We might start having more determined bearish episodes this week if the last candlestick closes bearish. This candle close will happen today. After which, the bearish focus will be on the break of the 38.2% Fibo level at $83,740. A successful break of this level will further open more bearish vulnerability. Let's hope that $83,740 holds.

The USDT has had enough trouble of its own for years. However, being a stablecoin linked to the crypto world, I believe it will not be affected, as it has held the number 1 spot for so long. As for USDC, it has passed virtually all government clearances and regional acceptance, so it's technically safer. What I do is hold my assets in two of them in case of unforeseen circumstances, and I do it 50:50 now.

What I won't do is hold my crypto assets in other stablecoins. I view them as riskier than the two (USDT & USDC).

Fortunately, I didn't experience the outage this time around, as some people claimed it happened on the 5th and 6th of December. I only experienced the one that occurred about 3 weeks ago, and that was strange and frustrating. It lasted for over 3 hours (if I limit my estimation). This shouldn't be.

I think it's time that the world begins to look for alternative(s), as crises like this help unnoticed ones to be noticed and new ones created. Technical issues happen, but if they persist, then no excuse should be entertained.

I also noticed one thing, it has always marked it as Cloudflare based in "London" that is being affected. I don't know if you guys notice it as well. Most websites seem to have been routed through this London server because almost all websites I tried to check at that time prompted the same London Cloudflare error.

As much as I want to agree wth you, I couldn't agree in its entirety, the market's uncertainty will always play out in situations like this. Fine, we've seen many cases where the market acted on your warning, but we've also seen many other cases where the market acted against it. This is why I would say that we should carefully study the market before buying or exiting. Don't forget that where you exited could be the beginning of its rising. We've seen that in play many times. For this, I believe our charts should rather guide us instead of acting randomly on our own, out of fear.

I couldn't help but sigh before starting this post because I would have lost my money on Arsenal in a 1x2 bet just like that. I was planning to redeposit into my Betpanda account yesterday after my last losses, but I determined to do that if I see a good bet that could motivate me, and here comes the Arsenal match with high hopes. I almost bet it yesterday if not for procrastination that made me forget. TBH, I was shocked that Arsenal couldn't beat Aston Villa.

This got me thinking and asking questions again: is this not the same pattern Arsenal always take that has robbed them of the trophy for a few seasons now? They tend to disappoint when the ovation is loud for them. Now, Man City has closed in more than before, and before you know it, Man City will start leading the table. If they do, Arsenal should forget the trophy again this season because Man City knows how to hold the number 1 spot patiently. It has always been like that.

No one can argue that you are wrong because all these are facts. But at the same time, is it not affecting people's livelihood? That's the issue on ground. We can praise AI from now till tomorrow and still have something good to say about it the third day, still, humans sustainability should come first. Maybe the world should slow things down a little, as things seem to be growing faster than the 2025 AD age itself.

In case you've not heard, it had been predicted since many centuries ago, and from different interests that technology will destroy the world. I hope this is not one of them.

Was this reply necessary?

No wonder @gmaxwell complained that the forum is full of mindless AI zombies. Why wouldn't he believe so when many of you are either bots or reply without understanding what you responded to?

What is vague in: "Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency"? And who is talking about investment for Christ's sake?

I see people mentioning lawsuits. Is it that easy and cheap? Just like I asked a while ago, how convenient is it if the money in question is $200? My point is that, as a government body, if they offer either an arbitration service for the purpose, or open a direct branch within the agency that handles it, it will be easier, cheaper and fairer for customers.

Unfortunately, even if regulators fine a casino, they keep the money alone. That selfishness is my concern.

That is the right word, and they do it for both direct and indirect taxation. The only difference is that, being the government, people view it as if it were the real protector of the people, which is not so. Some casinos are only afraid of the fines that will enrich the government, that's all. Otherwise, it is futile.

It's because it's for adults and the OGs...lol, kidding.

Of course not! It's fair to "test the water" before giving full access, considering the forum's past experiences. Don't you think? Newbies are also limited to many things, so why not prove yourself worthy of lifting the barriers by engaging in quality discussions to rank up?
