O n May 11 2020, the crypto world experienced the phenomena knows as Bitcoin halving . For those who are still a little looney-toons regarding this phenomena, here's the lowdown . Moral of the story is that, as the Bitcoin supply decreased and it's 21 million market cap slowly approached, it was widely accepted that the low supply and high demand will increase the price of the cryptocurrency back to its previous highs. Basic business right? Wrong! Source: Equity Trust Company BTC prices actually fell and after briefly holding steady, are only just rising above the 10000 USD range. Surprise eh? Well, we are not done yet. Because while the most valuable crypto coin wasn't showing it's expected gains, some other cryptocurrencies shot to outer space. There was no SpaceX rocket nor a Tesla Roadster involved. These "altcoins" bumped up in their market value thanks to the entire underlying system of cryptocurrency: investor speculation. But what exactly are these &q
Technically speaking I don't live in Britain, neither am I a British citizen. So even if England somehow win it, it won't truly be coming home, at least for me. But let's stick with 'it's coming home' shall we? I love Britain. Aston Martin, McLaren, Southgate, Kane.....
With England now in the semifinals, the first time since 1990, English fans are truly believing they might win their first world cup since 1966. And tbh, it would be great. England was never one of the favourites. They weren't even considered potential dark horses like Belgium. Before the world cup, many fans believed England would get out of their group but somehow contrived to lose in the last 16 to some lesser team. As far as I remember, England even failed to get out of their group 4 years ago. Fast-forward to now where they are going to play against Croatia for a spot in the finals.
With the help of very easy group as well as Harry Kane heroics, England qualified for the last 16. They even faced a potential dilemma on whether to go all out and top the group or take the easy way out and come second. Imagine England trying hard not to win a match, while the English teams of the last few years struggled to even win any matches. Remember Euro 2016?
Southgate is now the new English 'sex' symbol. I mean look at the face, that chiselled jawline, that amazing beard. Ladies must be swooning. When Southgate was officially announced as manager, lots of heads turned. People expected a much more well-renowned manager, not some punk who was most famous for. But the English FA actually did something right and made sure he got the job. Stable no-nonsense less high profile manager was needed after an admittedly very high profile incident with Sam's-your-uncle. And so far he has not been shabby at all.
He dropped Roo, literally, rocket launched Hart and brought in more exciting young talent. You get the feeling that even if England lost to Colombia, you would congratulate Gary. And now he has brought them to within two games from winning the World Cup. Bloody hell amazing. Queen Elizabeth must be finally feeling happy. You might see even a knighthood on the cards.
And if England truly wins, it would be great. But a terrifying prospect as well. Beer companies must surely be demanding increased supplies. They are now in the semifinals and the English are partying harder than a 10.0 magnitude earthquake. Beer is flowing like the Niagara falls. T-shirts are being sold faster than a hyperactive 5 year old inhaling his bar of chocolate. Jordan Pickford is slowing becoming an internet sensation. Technically he could save anything.
And like I said this is even before the semifinals. Just imagine the reaction when England actually beat Croatia and France or Belgium and lift that golden idol. National public holidays would be declared. Neymar, Messi, and Ronaldo will be hanging their heads when they imagine Raheem Sterling actually having a world cup winners medal. While Neymar might have more time, Messi and Ron would be hitting mood swings the like of no other. Possibly the entire squad could receive a knighthood. England would be partying hard for like 1 year. Theresa May would have a smug smile on her face while negotiating Brexit with Eu counterparts. Merkel would definitely be pissed. So would Trump, although they all are allies. And a movie about the 'Great Heroes' would definitely be on the cards. I guarantee that.
