1001  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BITCOIN IS DEAD! on: September 03, 2022, 09:26:12 PM
People always have an overthinking when it comes to power and that's the reason it is always connected to bitcoin and describe it as dead. Energy crisis is all around the world and the same have made its impact over each and everything. Cryptomarket isn't an exception. For this reason one can't end bitcoin as dead. Even if the mining that is being distributed around the world gets stopped, we can see the transactions happening which won't let it towards death.
If they have a problem with bitcoin, everything that they see, hear or think will always be connected to it. Why will they say that btc is dead? Only because of the rising energy price? But miners can always use an alternative energy. We have solar, wind, heat, hydro and others. Many miners are in fact using this already to save up fees and produce more profit.

As long as there are still people who believe's and supports it, bitcoin won't come to an end and if all bitcoin mining had stopped, people can still make a transaction e.g send a btc to an address but I don't think the receiver will get it. The sent btc will only get stuck in the chain.

Zimbabwe has recently won an ODI series against Bangladesh, they played a competitive match against India. Now they have won a match against Australia. Are you going to consider it as an improvement of Zimbabwean cricket team? Personally I'm surprised by these performances of Zimbabwe. They loss most of the matches very badly, but they are giving surprising result in one or two matches.
What we see with Zimbabwe is real improvement. As said, over the last few matches they're good with their performance. In the match against Australia it is something extraordinary, because Zimbabwe have defeated in their home ground. These days there is big improvement from most of the bottom order teams. In specific I see big improvement with Afghanistan and next stands Zimbabwe.
After watching today match if someone feeling some improvement is going to happen in Zimbabwe team then surely it's good joke nothing else because after having 2 big wins suddenly Australia collapse and give win to them, it's only consolation nothing else, or we can say they obliged them for having very poor time in last two matches no improvement going to happen in Zimbabwe with this win.

141 runs Warner 94 and Maxwell 19 Ryan Burl bowl just three overs and have five wickets, what a spell from this leggie career best for him and surely a proud moment as he achieves against Australia. In chase Zimbabwe lost their seven wickets Sikandar Raza have nothing positive from this series and fail against quality bowling but still good for them as they have ten points in Cricket World Cup Super League.

What a horrible game for Juventus, a lot of missing players but no excuses.

If they are not changing their behavior they will take almost 5 goals from PSG next week.
Agree with you 100% most chances they will learn from their mistakes after having 4 or 5 goals from PSG in next week because right now they are not changing their way of play, and surely it's going to be destructive for them, they lost six crucial points in last four games against with today they have bonus point just because of missed penalty.

Right now, we have another very entertaining match between AC Milan vs inter here after end of first half we have 1 - 1 score on board what a start of derby with some good soccer is around here home team playing good aggressive game and trying to have their full three points more entertainment is coming in second half of this match were most chances home team will steal the show and Inter has to face second defeat of this season in their early matches.

Frankfurt vs Leipzig that both of teams have to struggle return to winning track and finally they get their first winning this season last week but interesting fact about Frankfurt and Leipzig is since 2020 everytime they met the results of matches is always be draw so it proven both of them are equally strong and i know this quite risky because there is no guarantee they will playing draw again but those statistics tempting me to bet for draw option and this have high odds @3.8
Both teams were struggling badly in early matches and have their first win of this season in last game but here as we are heading for home game then surely Frankfurt is going with advantage even most chances both teams will try to play with tight defense because they don't want to lost points in this game and current form is same with both teams are having good quality players those are doing their best for kicking up into this season with good result.

In last five games which played between these two teams are mostly ended in a draw and just once Frankfurt were winner but currently as both are on level in most departments peoples feeling this match is also going to end in a draw which is surely acceptable for both teams.

^^^ India started well in the second innings with Priyank Panchal and Abhimanyu Easwaran handling the New Zealand bowlers with ease. I was surprised to see Logan van Beek in the New Zealand squad. If he gets selected for the senior side, then he won't be able to represent the Netherlands for a minimum of 4 years. And this is what happened to some of the more promising associate players, such as Boyd Rankin and Gavin Hamilton. They got one-test each and then they became unavailable for their native countries. Michael Rippon is another Dutch payer who has been included in the NZA side.
A good chance for youths to give their best in this series with in this first unofficial test after end of two days we have 12 wickets and 556 runs with in 150 overs most chances going to end in draw with fewer chance now New Zealand will have second inning batting.

In next few years, most chances we will have around 5 to 7 overseas players in New Zealand team with native players are losing their charm with this game and having better chance in Rugby and Soccer which are currently going good for them South African, Dutch and Indians are migrating very quickly to have their early places in this squad and many are already enjoying with many are in pipeline for next few years.

Celta Vigo vs Cadiz and Celta had consistency problem during play at their home ground that from their 2 last home matches Celta cannot able to get win results and today they will attempts to get their first winning at home and Celta have good chance to get 3 points from this match considering Cadiz is the weakest team in La Liga because so far Cadiz statistics was very poor with conceded 7 goals and didn't scoring goals so Celta win as my bet seems good and the odds for them currently @1.72
Celta Vigo vs Cadiz is today's first match of La Liga round four it's an interesting match because in last three matches Cadiz lost all and concede seven goals with no goal in their credit and Celta Vigo is having better time with first match against Espanyol draw and then lost to Real Madrid and now won game on road against Girona here we can expect any result because Cadiz record against Celta Vigo is not bad at all they can create problems for them and steal their first point from this match even it is not easy job but all things possible with both are in bad shape and with defence is surely issue and attack also need to be aggressive for having better result in next coming weeks.
1007  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to Overcome a Bear Market in Cryptocurrency on: September 02, 2022, 02:01:49 PM
in the current situation, the most comfortable thing is to buy it, by getting a cheap price, we will have a larger number of tokens, and of course it will be easier to make a profit, when the market goes up, and when the market goes down, we are prepared to buy it back , because rest assured no one knows when a reversal will occur, so we net coins according to the analysis we have done
While this is a good time to buy bitcoins cheap, we should research when we can buy them so we don't buy bitcoins at high prices. Maybe we can analyze it first while waiting for a red candle to appear in the market so that we can buy it cheaply. But if the price goes down deeper, you don't need to panic because maybe it's a correction still happening and it's time to buy again and hold it. But if you are afraid of price changes, you may not need to enter the market and just wait for the price to reverse.
I thought this was the good time already? Therefore there is no need for a research but research is a must if we are talking about new coins. Even if you invest in bitcoins at a not so high price, you can still be on the safe side as long as you hodl it and sell only above your buying price. A further dip in the price does not scare some of us but they are in fact happy about it because they are waiting for that moment only to buy coins at a more discounted value.

If someone is afraid of price change then they shouldn't be here as this place is not for the kids but there are stable coins out there which value doesn't move too much. That should suit them better.
1008  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: $WAVES to hit $10 price soon? on: September 01, 2022, 04:38:03 PM
When I was new to cryptocurrency WAVES is one of the suggestion from my friend. By the time the price was around $0.5 and I wasn't able to make an investment back. Now I feel bad of it, because in the past it have marked an all time high value above $62 which is really big. For now too it's an good opportunity as the price is around $4+ and surely WAVES will hit $10.
That is because waves is one of the hottest coin back in time. Waves is the first best alternative to eth before this matic, bnb, sol and others came in the scene but it is so sad that the career of waves didn't last long. Although I think waves is still there but it wasn't popular like it did last few years ago.

I think it's because of its developers which didn't do anything to improve their coin. I think the main issue in waves is that it is less secure to create a smart contract on it, so by that, I don't think waves will ever recover again. Better if you can make your investment on other newer coins like the ones that I mentioned earlier. You will have a greater chance to earn big on them.
1009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: September 01, 2022, 03:01:18 PM
Monaco really humiliated at home, basically Troyes performance in the first three matches it was a poor result. Indeed, Monaco have so far not been in their best form but with them being able to hold PSG to a draw in the previous match it seemed like a sign that Monaco will get full points in this home match against Troyes. But what happened instead was Guillermo Maripan getting a red card and it looks like it was the start where Monaco fell apart, although Monaco had made a second goal in the second half but it really didn't help him to get points.
I didn't think Monaco would lose so badly against Troyes today after such a great performance against PSG. However, Monaco earned 1 point by playing completely defensively against PSG. But against Troyes, they made several attacks. As a result, Monaco conceded three goals from the counterattack today. In this match, Troyes players played very well compared to Monaco. They deserve this win. Even though Monaco got 1 point against PSG, they are quite weak as a team.
Monaco is currently at 16th in league table and their performance is unpredictable as we can check they have just one win from their first game of this season after this they are struggling badly and now have just two points from their last four games which mean they need to improve performance in coming weeks for higher rank in league table.

Even here nothing is new many times things like this happen as good teams struggle in early part of the season like we have in many other European leagues as well with Strasbourg is also struggling badly with have only 3 points from five games and no win in this season mean they are also in trouble if they are not going to improve quality then surely they are going to be in trouble which can bring them in hot waters for rest of the season.
1010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: September 01, 2022, 02:04:38 PM
Under normal circumstances both Turkish teams should qualify from group stage but they get mixed results so I don't really trust them.
I don't see any groups that look like Champions League either. There are teams in Champions League caliber but they are not in same group. If you say Arsenal and PSV in Group A they should qualify together. Manchester United and Real Sociedad in Group E can go to next stage together. Other than these two groups I don't see more than one team as favorite. Average teams and average groups, better ones will go to next stage. The real competition start when teams from Champions League fall off to Europa League. I won't be surprised if all first seed teams qualify to next round, even in first place.
I agree with your ideas. I think so too, under normal circumstances both Turkish teams should qualify from group stage. Fenerbahce meet Dynamo Kyiv again after the unpleasant rendezvous in the Champions League. This could be a problem for Fenerbahçe. My guess, Trabzonspor should also be able to advance to next stage by finishing second in the worst case. But you know that Trabzonspor is always stormy. Me too, that's why I don't really trust them.
Right now on papers things looking very easy for many teams, but we can expect some upsets as well because right now few teams are doing their best for having good performance in their local leagues, so they will try to give average performance here in this event and with this we can expect unusual results like Manchester United is having not good time in Premier League so most chances they will not play with full strength and same can happen with Roma and few teams are badly struggling like Monaco.

So, here predicting about results is not easy even most chances we will have mostly quality teams in better position but still things could be not easy for anyone with both Turkish clubs are having good time, and they can go into next round which is surely good for them, but they need to improve quality if they want to do much better in European Leagues.
1011  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it profitable to hedge/cashout bets before end of sport event? on: August 31, 2022, 09:14:54 PM
If you doubt that the team you've earlier chosen will win the match, then to make a cashout is the good decision. Also if you think that a sure profit although small is better than possibly having a bigger profit but also possibly having a loss instead, then cashout will be a good choice. But to me I just leave my bet 99% of the time. Sometimes it is enticing to cashout and have a smaller loss than seeing your bet really lost, but I still don't find an early cashout interesting. It makes me feel like I'm not really gambling at all.
This is the good thing about sports betting because there is still a chance to stop your bets while in the middle of the game but this is hard to do in a typical casino game but you will need to finish the game to know if the result is a win or lose.

When we are in doubt then I think it will be better to just withdraw the earlier profits that you have made and besides you can still bet another in a game which you are more sure of than if you risk it in hopes of earning an additional profit however in your case, it looks like you are a serious gambler. You aren't a pussy like us lol, so yeah what you are doing is right. To have a doubt could be an added recipe for your excitement.
1012  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: "The Lower-Risk Gambling Guidelines" Is this a joke? on: August 31, 2022, 07:49:33 PM
This is closer to telling them not to gamble at all lmao. I myself set a specific amount to gamble on every session, but 1% is way too low, not enough to actually satisfy that craving of gambling. Even if I say that gambling is more for fun, experiencing that fun of winning/losing money is also part. If I was only in it for the game, I might as well just go for playing the same games but without money involved.

As for the number of sessions, I think that's closer to what you prefer, setting up a number for it might just limit you way too much, bringing out more of anticipation than normal which can influence you to go past it in the long term imo.

The 3rd advice is just a joke. It's like asking your average gamer to only buy/play one game in their entire life, that's just a joke. I myself repeat a lot of games that are long and story intensive, whatmore for simple games like the ones in casino.
Well this helps if you are addicted and want to slowly cut it. Sooner or later you will feel not to gamble at all because it's getting close to that. For the starters, I think gambling like this can prevent them from being an addict later on. If you think you can fully control your self then feel free to set up your own limits because you think this was too low for you and won't give you contentment or satisfaction.

Gambling is only a term but you should include if what makes you enjoy it. Is it gambling for the money? Or gambling for the entertainment? If it's for the entertainment then yes, both losing and winning can maximize that fun feeling you are getting.
1013  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 31, 2022, 06:33:42 PM
The poor creation of attacks in the Sassuolo defense is the reason Milan's dominance is in vain.  Fortunately, Milan managed to avoid defeat in this match, because they really struggled even though statistically they were able to dominate.  Stefano Pioli must also immediately evaluate his attack line ahead of the derby match at the weekend.
in the end, Milan probably tried without trying to reveal themselves too much
the sassuolo heroically defended every attempt without seeming convincing
but either way, they both took a point home

bad for Milan, because with future commitments, who knows if these 2 points will make a difference: they were afraid to dare
Currently, Milan has eight points from four matches which are still acceptable because they have some off the field issues and fail to buy few players due to lack of funds, and now they are still doing much better than expectations against lower quality teams their biggest test is coming in next week when they are going to face Inter in the derby match which is surely give better shape of this team and their future in this season.

Against Sassuolo they were in complete control but sadly unable to score any goal and their luck works with home team missed the penalty which was surely a good thing for them, and they were able to steal one point from this match where mostly feelings were against them.
1014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 30, 2022, 08:06:20 PM
In fact, maybe an early goal (a penalty was awarded in the 22nd minute) would have mobilized Milan and they would have started playing as actively as possible from the very beginning and this would have brought them victory, no one knows. But in fact, it turned out that Milan dominated possession of the ball and nothing more. If you take shots on target, then Sassuolo is ahead - 3:2. I don't know how the game would have gone if Sassuolo had scored that penalty, but Milan didn't deserve to win today.
A missed penalty and seven yellow cards with bore end of Sassuolo vs AC Milan match not good for defending champions now after four matches they have only eight points but still have good chance for staying at top because they are doing better performance.

Right now, we have two matches in progress with Roma is leading against new promoted side Monza and leading match by 2 - 0 thanks to Dybala who done both goals for them at the end of first half. In second match, Inter is also leading with same score of 2 - 0 against another new promoted side Cremonese after losing match against Lazio, it's good they need more improvement for staying at top as things are not easy with many teams are performing good.
1015  Economy / Economics / Re: Savings during inflation on: August 30, 2022, 12:15:49 PM
CONCLUSION
During inflation,
👉👉always purchase all you need on time without delay to avoid rapid increase of such commodity.

👉👉Unnecessary saving should be avoided. Savings should only be made from excess income which one doesn't need at that moment.

Lastly, investing is highly preferable to savings.
We should buy before inflation or after inflation and not during inflation because the prices of the goods during that time are skyrocketing. Savings is mandatory and it is not unnecessary because savings is not like spending where your money can only decrease but it's true that it's better to save money which isn't really needed so that you won't touch your savings later on if ever you invest most of your salary on it.

On the last part, investing is also important but I think saving should be our priority because it is less risky but investing especially in cryptos has a risk because their values are fluctuating. If we like to do both, we should have a separate money for them and savings money should not be touch only to add more assets on your investment.
1016  Economy / Speculation / Re: I've been confused in BTC on: August 29, 2022, 08:10:52 PM
Bitcoin is trading below $20k and the total crypto market cap is breaking below support. There's no need to abandon ship. For a while, just tether it. As macroeconomic events become more significant, the entire investing market becomes more dependent on them. Keep up with the news and take action as necessary. It is not a solution to be afraid, but it is a solution to stay focused. It's only a correction, don't be confused. It never be so easy to handle Bitcoin.
I do agree that going to stable is a good idea, I however prefer BUSD over tether for sure, much safer company to trust. However, I also go into bitcoin right now as well, I do not care about the support, I do not care about anything like that, I just care about what we have right now and that's good enough for me, no need to rush into anything else. Just focus on what you have and you are going to be doing fine.

Bitcoin and having many of it would make you a rich person in the long term, anyone who fears the current 20k and below, or the below support levels, would not be happy to see bitcoin going up, whereas buyers like me will be pretty happy about it.
1017  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is environmental menace! BTC miners are carbon terrorists! on: August 29, 2022, 06:09:00 PM
I hope you don't use a car nor ride a bus for your transportation. You must be riding a bicycle or a tesla on your regular transportation. However it's also made of materials that were mined using energy that emits high carbon. The future is green energy and bitcoin can also mined thru green energy. But even current bitcoin mining is still nothing and very small compared to huge carbon emissions from factories and daily activities like cars. 
The problem is that, even if you end up using your electric car, that means you are going to "charge" it instead of put oil in it, well if that electricity that you charge your car with comes from something bad for the environment then it's bad too, doesn't really have any difference at all with regular petrol cars.

This means it is not about using bitcoin, or using cars, or using anything, it is about where the electricity that we use comes from, no matter what we use it for. People think that bitcoin energy spending means bad thing, no, where that energy comes from makes it bad or good. I personally believe as long as we "ban" oil and freaking and what not, and put trillions and trillions from ALL nations into renewable, then we would be fine in just under 10 years.
1018  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you play Slots? (long sessions / jumper / focussed) on: August 28, 2022, 06:44:51 PM
I do not know how people playing slots, but from math and probability theory it's better to use jumper strategy. Let me explain why:

Probability of your winning still the same, regardless your concentration or time spent before the monitor. So, if there is no big difference, why you should waste more of your attention or time? So just few big bets - and let your luck to decide is it your day or not. You will get to the same result in all other ways, just will lose more time 
I'm against 'one and done' bets as it kills your other possible chances at winning. Slots is obviously a game of numbers, and the more time you spend playing, the more chances you might have in getting a win. Your losses also add up to that so just be very wary on managing your budget. People gamble to win and to have fun, and I don't think there's much fun to be had when you lose instantly with all your budget in just one bet.
For some people, they think that the longer they play the more their chances of winning but many experts already said that previous results doesn't affect the upcoming results but if you will stick on your strategy then you better do pre rolls. Just put tiny bets on a couple of rolls, or don't put a bet at all if it's allowed. Put only your ideal bet once the game heats up or once you already do a lot of rolls. You can also use the martingale method for this with the auto bet function on to make the task a lot easier.

@johhnyUA I thought there is no difference at all? So, why waste time jumping from one slot to the other? Why not use all your fund in one game?
1019  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Resisting the below twenty thousand level on: August 28, 2022, 05:14:02 PM
Bitcoin price have come down to $20k and this serves to form new support points. The market had good resistance around $22k, and the sudden fall have made it go down to $20k. With the upcoming week start the market can be more bearish. In simple, it can retest the level of $17k or even lower. Because during the previous down market it is predicted to go down to $12k, but the recovery happened good. This time more events are scheduled and the same might make some bearish movement in the market.
This isn't a new support point for btc because btc have been there last time but anyways, the price have dip yesterday to 19k. I thought it would stay there but I am wrong because today it was back up again at 20k. Dunno what's with this price on why btc likes to hang out here. Next week is going to be the start of the so called ber months.

I was expecting something positive within those periods so I disagree about your negative speculations right there. People are done already with the bottom thing so you better move on now. It's your problem already if you missed buying when the price was still lower than 20k but 20k wasn't that bad imo for purchasing.

Oh!!! Shocked Shocked My bad, it has totally escaped my mind. It is true that Italy lost to North Macedonia in March. A lot is on my head, so it is allowed. My preferences are now between Germany and Spain, while Germany is still my first choice. I have updated this in my first post. Thanks!
I think Germany deserves to be superior at this time because their squad is more qualified and experienced, but for some reason I think if Spain this year might surprise us, even though they are no longer strengthened by the previous great players like in the cup world 2010, but the young squad owned by spain at the moment is of course quite potential and Is not that they able to reach the semifinals of euro 2020 by simply on the young squad?
German quality is always superior even they have the worst performance in last world cup which was played into Russia, but they can fight back very quickly with their quality and skills right now their squad is mixture of some old and best players with having few quality youths as well and with this all they can give surprising results in this event even they can go into last four without any big trouble with facing to Brazil or France which are main contenders in this event right now.

Right now peoples feeling Brazil and France are strong enough with Spain, Argentina and England are other good teams, but mostly peoples are forgetting the Netherlands and Germany as both are the most amazing teams from Europe and have quality to win this event at Qatar.
