England trail Australia by 61 runs at the end of the fourth day's play. So far, Australia have collected 214 runs in which they have already lost five wickets. Marnus Labuschagne played a crucial innings for Australia before being dismissed. Marnus Labuschagne's innings of 111 runs has managed to bring the team to a good level. There is only one day left of the fourth Test, that is, the win, loss or draw of the match depends on this one day. Australia still have five wickets in hand if Australia can build a good partnership and get through the day somehow then the result of this match will be a draw. But I personally think the chances of this match being a draw is very low. England are leading in this match so far. If England can pick up two quick wickets early in the fifth day then this match will be easy for England.
England is on one side and the Rain & Australian team are playing on the other side. I wonder if this test match ends in a draw and it would be Rain who comes to the rescue of the Aussie team. Well, its still time (one whole day) left in the match and if we happen to get 80+ overs then England might still win but we can't say anything with surety at the moment.
Let's suppose there is no rain interruption today, Australia still trail by 64 runs and they have 5 wickets in hand only. They need to bat and survive the first two sessions today in order to save this test match.
Rain can be a blessing for some teams and a curse for others in the fourth Test between Australia and England. England had a good chance of winning this match without the rain, but because of the rain, they may lose this match. Rain on the fifth day may not have been expected by England fans. England fans might have wanted to witness another Test match win for England but the rain might have prevented them from doing so. Had the game been played early on the fifth day, there would have been a chance of an Australian all-out, but due to the rain, play has not been played so far, which may have left the match inconclusive, and if the rain subsided very quickly and the outfield was prepared for play, England would have a chance to win the match.
England cricket fans will definitely want the weather to clear and the game to get underway quickly in the fourth day of the Test match between Australia and England. But here it can be said that Australia's luck is very good because England could have easily won but unfortunately it didn't happen. As we watch T20 matches or ODI matches with attention but we often feel boring when we watch Test match but England vs Australia match was so captivating. We watched the T20 game with pleasure, the test series of Australia vs England was a very exciting game. Now it remains to be seen which team luck favors but we who are cricket fans definitely want the rain to stop soon and the test match starts on the field.

Every match in this series was very competitive. The teams played very well in every match. Australia won the first two matches. And in the third match, England made a wonderful comeback. England's batting in the first innings of the fourth match impressed everyone. England made a huge collection of 592. And England were undoubtedly in complete control of the match. However, the England team could not win the match due to the delay due to rain. The match was a draw. And Australia is still leading the series 2-1. England has to win the last match in any way if they don't want to lose the series.

I think every team in the Champions League needs to follow Manchester City. Teams should think about what kind of tactics Man City is applying. I hope the rest of the teams will perform well this season. I want the Premier League to become more competitive.
Last season the Premier League also looked more competitive in my opinion, because Manchester City was really consistent in chasing Arsenal points last season. And it is likely that next season Manchester City will still be very strong even though other teams are also making better changes so they can make it difficult for Manchester City. But if other teams follow the tactics developed by Manchester City, it will actually make the other team weaker because it will be easier for Manchester City to find the key when making their attacks.

I wouldn't say last season was competitive. Because last season only Arsenal and Manchester City fought for the title. Big teams like Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United do not fight for the syrup. They were far behind. Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League. On the other hand, the Chelsea team was outside the top 10 of the points table.

However, it is expected that the next season will be more competitive. Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool are further tweaking their squads. They are trying to build a strong squad. And so we may not see the dominance of any particular team in the coming season.

I agree with you. Even in the last season we have seen many such clubs, despite having a lot of star players, they cannot perform well. For example we can look at Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United teams. On the other hand, Newcastle and Arsenal had very few star players in their teams. However, Newcastle and Arsenal played well because of the bond between the players. Especially the Newcastle team. This team was not very strong. However, they remained consistent throughout the season and also qualified for the Champions League. And so it is a misconception that only star players are needed for team success. Good results are possible even if experienced coaches and players are confident.
And how Newcastle did it, because they also had updated team, which was formed from players who had just arrived and they did not have much time to play. But Liverpool didn't need time for that, they sold a few players, Nunez came, but the main team was the same. By the way, a lot of new players also came to Arsenal and they played great, so it’s not clear what exactly this connection depends on, most likely the mood in the team also decides a lot.
A good performance of a team requires an experienced coach first. If the coach is not experienced, the team will not get the expected performance even after having a strong squad. Liverpool's squad was strong. But their coach had several tactical mistakes. Hence Liverpool's performance was erratic. Arsenal and Newcastle, on the other hand, performed well with average teams. I expect a better performance from Newcastle next season. But it doesn't seem like this team will be able to continue such great performance in the next season. Because the Newcastle management is still not taking the necessary steps to strengthen the team.
That's not 100% sure, the strength of any team depends on the finance of the club. You can hire a good and experienced coach into an average team and they will still lose and flop. Every coach are good untill you hire them into an elite club.
Team, strength also depends on the quality of players in the squad, if a team have s good number of quality players,they will have a good results and performance. Not absolutely coach experience. Club finance and players qualify are most important things to strengthen a team performance.

I cannot agree with you. No team can play well only if the squad is strong. We have seen the situation of Manchester United. The performance of this team was very poor until Ten Hag became the coach. Ten Hag gradually stabilized this team. On the other hand, we can look at Ligue 1 team PSG. The three best strikers in the world Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe were in their squad. Also, almost every player in the squad was a star player. However, the team's performance in the Champions League was poor. PSG didn't lack money, their squad was strong. So why this team did not play well in the Champions League???

West Indies started very well. But I don't think he will be able to collect 438 runs. West Indies squad has talented players. But they are not experienced enough in ODI and Test format. The team could not even qualify for the upcoming ODI World Cup. In the last test match too we saw poor performance from West Indies players. However, West Indies collected 86 runs for the loss of 1 wicket. The team is still behind by 352 runs. I think this is a big difference. I also don't think West Indies batsmen can maintain consistency.
West Indies only one wicket lost and behind India by 352 runs after the second day of play wi situation is difficult to win this test natch. Tagenarine Chanderpaul was defeated by Jadeja After scoring 33 runs. Despite the pressure Kraigg Brathwaite maintains his composure and is still in the game at 33 not out. Kirk McKenzie is also holding his ground at 15 not out. West Indies may yet have a chance to reach India big total if these two batsmen can maintain their vigilance in this closely balanced match. After 41 overs there are 84 runs on the board wi struggle for the win could be interesting. Lets what happens at day 3.
There is no doubt that Kraigg Brathwaite is batting very responsibly. He is trying to play a perfect Test innings. Kraigg Brathwaite remains unbeaten with 38 runs off 131 balls. Kraigg Brathwaite's ease with McKenzie and excellent batting. He collected 25 runs off 40 balls. West Indies managed to collect 98 runs. Still not seeing good bowling from Indian bowlers. If they don't pick up a few wickets in the first session then the Indian team will not be able to control the match.
India 438 all out in the first innings, which looked like a good score until the West Indies started to bat. Kraigg Brathwaite, the captain playing at one run short of half century not out helped by Kirk McKenzie  32 and Chanderpaul 33 , they scored 117 at the loss of two wickets.
This match is in the critical stage as if the WI managed to make some partnerships to reach a total of 400+, then we will see how the teams play in the 2nd innings. Right now I won't say that India is having the advantage or the West Indies. Today Day 03, the last two sessions will determine where this test match is heading to.

West Indies batsmen are batting better than our expectations in this match. They have now collected 139 runs with the loss of 2 wickets. But there is no way to say for sure if West Indies will be able to score 400 runs. The performance of the batsmen of this team is very erratic. And the sudden batting disaster of West Indies is not surprising. But Kraigg Brathwaite's batting really impressed me. He is unbeaten on 67 runs. But the important thing is that Kraigg Brathwaite's strike rate is only 34. If another West Indies batsman can bat responsibly and form a partnership with Kraigg Brathwaite, there is a chance for West Indies to collect 400 runs.

Every player in the team contributed to Manchester City's title win. Of course, we can consider Haaland, De Bruyne, and Ederson as slightly more important players. But the performances of Alvarez and Foden on the bench were also excellent. Guardiola replaced these young players at crucial times. And they never let us down. Alvarez and Foden's performances were excellent despite playing less. And because of the good performance of each player as a team, Manchester City's performance has been consistent throughout the season. Manchester City's squad was strong, while their bench players were also very talented. Arsenal's bench players were weak as they could not maintain consistency of performance.
Manchester city growned in performance all through the previous years, there performance is totally on a different levels. Pep Guardiola has a way of handling things at Etihad Stadium; he's full of confidence in his game strategy, the supporting system identified as the fans, and, perhaps most significantly, the players who contribute outstanding performances on the field; every member of the squad cooperates without hesitation or misunderstanding. When it comes to players, Kelvin De Bruyne should be the first to be mentioned, followed by Erling Haaland. We're talking about the assist machine and the engine room.
Almost in the squad, we see internal conflicts between the players. The relationship between the players is not good. We saw that in PSG's squad. But this is not the case in Manchester City's squad. The players have a friendly relationship. Their understanding is also very good. Because of this, they have been able to perform well throughout the season without any trouble. Manchester City will dominate the Premier League next season if the players are confident and the understanding between the players is good.
I've seen many clubs that are successful not because of their big name or because they are full of star players. But they succeed because of the good relationships they have with each other, with the team officials as a whole, and that has a huge impact on their chemistry on the pitch. In reality, we are presented with many clubs that have big names and star players, but they fail to do their best. I probably don't have to say the name of the club because I'm sure we can judge for ourselves.
There are many reasons and factors, and it must be sought by every club, and now Manchester City can find one or more of the many factors that ultimately make them successful. I also see patience from Mamchester City management who trust the process carried out by the coach.

I agree with you. Even in the last season we have seen many such clubs, despite having a lot of star players, they cannot perform well.

Bangladesh A VS Sri Lanka A

We may be seeing Bangladesh as the second team in the ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup final. Bangladesh is batting to win against India in the second semi-final match. So far Bangladesh need 127 runs to win. That is, if Bangladesh can score only 127 runs, then they will face Pakistan in the final match. So far Bangladesh have got nine valuable wickets so winning this match is not a difficult task for Bangladesh.  
Bangladeshi bowlers bowled brilliantly against India A team. India A team was bowled out by Bangladesh A team for just 211 runs. At the moment Bangladesh A team's collection is 85 runs for one wicket. I observed a great partnership in the opening pair from the two openers. Bangladesh have enough time to win this match so if they don't hurry Bangladesh will win this match.

The performance of the Bangladesh A team today surprised me quite a bit. I knew the India A team was very strong. And thought the India A team would not face any hurdles in qualifying for the finals. But the bowlers of Bangladesh have done a great performance today. India's batting was very slow from the beginning of the innings. The team has given a target of only 212 runs in 50 overs.

Bangladesh's two openers got off to a good start, but very quickly Bangladesh lost 3 of their batsmen. After losing the first wicket for 70 runs, they lost the third wicket for 100 runs. Bangladesh collected 103 runs in 20 overs. Bangladesh needs only 109 runs to win in 30 overs. Bangladesh will win if they don't lose wickets too quickly. Bangladesh's batsmen should try their best to stay at the crease.

Without Messi and Mbappe, PSG's attack will face some problems. Neymar is a good player but his fitness is not good. So PSG cannot rely on Neymar's performance. Luis Enrique must find alternatives to Mbappe and Messi. And it has to be done very quickly. Will Harry Kane be interested in coming to PSG? I don't think Harry Kane will come to PSG. He will want to join a better team. It is still uncertain which players Luis Enrique is looking to bring in to bolster his attack.
With the money PSG have they will be able to buy whoever they want although of course the results will not always be as expected, Harry Kane seems to be closer to Bayern Munich, Victor Osimhen can be the next striker they can look at especially this player is younger than Harry Kane so he can play longer at PSG.
If Mbappe is really going to leave Ligue 1 because Luis Enrique has experience at Laliga it is very possible that PSG will buy players from Laliga based on the advice of his new coach and he is not a striker whose name is always said to be going to PSG, because anything is possible, but as long as Mbappe is still at PSG the opportunity for this club to find another striker may be postponed unless they are looking for a second line striker because of the busy schedule they will have both domestically and in Europe.

Since Luis Enrique is the coach of PSG, I think he will give more priority to Spanish players. Because he has been with this team for a long time. And he is more familiar with the players in Spain. I guess we will see quite a few Spanish players in PSG's squad next season. But Victor Osimhen is an excellent player. He is capable of scoring a lot of goals if he is with a stable squad. PSG will surely benefit if Luis Enrique adds Victor Osimhen to the squad. Victor Osimhen can be a worthy replacement for Mbappe.

If Manchester City doesn't get consistent performances from Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland next season, Manchester City's performance will definitely deteriorate drastically. Because I think Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland's excellent performance is why this team has been able to play consistently well in the last season. Kevin De Bruyne helps stabilize Manchester City's midfield. And Haaland scored plenty of goals last season. Every player in Manchester City's squad has contributed to the title win. However, these two players have played an important role in stabilizing the overall performance of the team.
Yes, this can indeed be a concern for Manchester City, because De Bruyne and Haaland have a very important role in every match. Foden, who is much younger than De Bruyne, could not even replace De Bruyne last season, he only played on the bench last season. The arrival of Haaland was a fortune for Manchester City, especially when Guardiola got a relatively cheap price of 60 million euros for an international class player. Haaland has been the perfect piece to complement Guardiola's game plan and his performances have only gotten crazier since joining Manchester City.
Furthermore, who has an important and very influential role is Ederson who has always been a mainstay in goal by making several saves and during his 34 appearances in the Premier League he only conceded 31 goals. They are players who make a significant contribution to Manchester City, I think Guardiola should take care of the performance of his players because it will have a very negative impact on Manchester City if one of them gets injured during the competition.

Every player in the team contributed to Manchester City's title win. Of course, we can consider Haaland, De Bruyne, and Ederson as slightly more important players. But the performances of Alvarez and Foden on the bench were also excellent. Guardiola replaced these young players at crucial times. And they never let us down. Alvarez and Foden's performances were excellent despite playing less.

For starters, I think Manchester City are very much beatable at the moment based on the fact that they are rebuilding their team and some big names have left the club who we all considered instrumental to their success, but with them leaving this could be their only weakest team!
I disagree with you. Manchester City is still favourite to win the league because Pep has an almost unchanged squad. Gundogan is the player whose absence would be greatly missed, he was their captain and was carrying the team on his shoulders in every games. Another player being rumoured to leave is Mahrez. He's been restricted to the bench, and sometimes when he comes in he produces something spectacular but I don't really see how his departure would affect the team. Pep is also recruiting good players to strengthen the team like the acquisition of Kovacic from Chelsea and Josko Gvardiol from Leipzig, so they still pose a threat to other teams.
You are right. Manchester City is most likely to win the title next season as well. This is because Manchester City's squad remains unchanged. Only one change has occurred. Gundagon is not staying with Manchester City. But this squad is tested and stable. On the other hand, many clubs in the Premier League are trying to build a very strong squad. Many clubs are adding talented star players to their squads. But we still don't know how these teams will perform in the coming season. Whether the new players can adapt themselves to the teams or not. And so so far I think Manchester City is the favorite team to win the Premier League next season.
Manchester City possesses several advantages that could propel them towards clinching the league title. However, it's worth considering the potential influence of politics in the league, particularly with a Spanish coach who is on the verge of surpassing the records set by British coaches. In addition, the team might face the challenge of losing key players like Mahrez and Kyle Walker. Furthermore, while their defense isn't the strongest, and the aging process of De Bruyne might impact their overall performance.
As the season unfolds, Manchester City can expect intense competition from formidable rivals such as Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal. The battle for the league title promises to be fiercely contested among these top-tier teams.

If Manchester City doesn't get consistent performances from Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland next season, Manchester City's performance will definitely deteriorate drastically. Because I think Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland's excellent performance is why this team has been able to play consistently well in the last season. Kevin De Bruyne helps stabilize Manchester City's midfield. And Haaland scored plenty of goals last season. Every player in Manchester City's squad has contributed to the title win.

It's clear PSG don't want to sell Mbappe, it's the attitude shown by Mbappe that forces PSG to sell him immediately instead of letting him go as a free transfer next season. PSG just lost Messi who chose to join Inter Miami, Mbappe's departure will further complicate PSG situation because they lost two important players at once.
PSG will certainly find it difficult to find an ideal replacement for them, especially since the stock of quality strikers available on the market is currently very limited. Enrique, who has just been appointed as the new coach, will experience problems in strategizing if the agreement with Mbappe reaches a dead end, he must make several changes to keep PSG's performance on track, without a goal machine that fills the striker position in the squad he leads, it is difficult for Enrique led PSG to success in the Champions League.
yes, Enrique has serious problems to form his team with some problems and also good players who leave the team. it is very likely that Mbappe's departure will cause PSG's front line to experience problems. Enrique must immediately think about getting a striker with good quality. otherwise, this season could be the worst ever for a wealthy club PSG. Of course fans don't want to see that. maybe in Ligue 1 PSG can still compete, but in the Champions League when they meet strong teams they will have a hard time without a good squad.

Without Messi and Mbappe, PSG's attack will face some problems. Neymar is a good player but his fitness is not good. So PSG cannot rely on Neymar's performance. Luis Enrique must find alternatives to Mbappe and Messi. And it has to be done very quickly. Will Harry Kane be interested in coming to PSG? I don't think Harry Kane will come to PSG.

Sri Lanka is still trailing and they have lost 4 wickets already. Both Noman Ali and Abrar Ahmed are bowling brilliantly. And the Pakistan skipper is doing the right thing by sticking with spin for now. Dinesh Chandimal and Dhananjaya de Silva are trying desperately to restore some decency to the Lankan innings. They still need another 150 runs to have even a remote chance of saving this test match. BTW, Pakistan captain may decide to give one short spell each to Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah, if this partnership persists for some more time.  
Pakistan in command of this test at the moment. Srilanka have given a target of 131 runs to Pakistan on day 4. 20 overs still to be bowled today and if Pakistan can bat with quick run rate then there is chance that we have a result today. Naseem Shah had good time with bat as he blocked almost 75 balls and had a 94 runs partnership with Saud. Naseem kept one end and allowed Saud to score runs. Pakistan if wins today then it will be a win after a long time.
In the second innings, Sri Lanka were all out for 279 runs. After being all out for 279 runs, the target stood at 131 runs for Pakistan. After Sri Lanka were all out, Pakistan went into bat with a target of 131 runs. At the end of the fourth day, Pakistan collected 48 runs for three wickets. The target for Pakistan will be 83 runs with seven valuable wickets in their hands when they go for victory on day five. Pakistan is in a driving position in this match Pakistan may win this match before the end of the first session when Pakistan come out to bat on the fifth day. The turning point for Pakistan was to finish their first innings a few runs ahead of Sri Lanka. Had Pakistan been behind Sri Lanka in the first innings, Pakistan would have lost this match.
Pakistan went into bat on the 5th day and had already lost four wickets. Right now Pakistan are batting brilliantly to reach their target and may reach their target very soon. On the fifth day, Pakistan will win with Sri Lanka as their valuable wickets are still in hand. Still Pakistan is in good form especially Pakistan batsman Imam-ul-Haq is batting brilliantly to take the match forward. At the moment, Pakistan have collected 90 runs and need only 41 runs to reach the wall lead of Sri Lanka Pakistan will easily win today's match.

Sri Lanka gave a target of only 131 runs. Pakistan's performance may have been erratic. But it is foolish to think that Pakistan will not win after hitting 131 runs. But Pakistan lost their first 3 batsmen very quickly. They lost three wickets for just 38 runs. Imam Ul Haque did not play well in the first innings but today he is batting responsibly. Imam Ul Haque is unbeaten on 47 runs. And Pakistan need only 13 runs to win.

This idea only makes storing phrases more complicated and difficult for ourselves and no one else. Instead of us just looking for a safe place to store our phrases, we now need to find 2 places to store them.

The way that I am using is to write my phrase on paper, but I will shuffle the position of the words. In case if they are exposed, thieves can't access my property either. Of course, there is still a risk if I forget the original position of the words, but another thing is that I always share it with my loved ones. So if I forget it, my relatives will remember it for me.

OP is already profitable, but honestly, his investment is insignificant, so there's no need to celebrate. What he needs to do is find a way to generate more income and save more money to invest in bitcoin if he wants to get bigger things in the future. If he stops with that small capital even if bitcoin reaches 100k, the profit will be negligible and does not make any breakthrough for life. Bitcoin is not an investment that can make him rich with just a small amount of capital.

I would really like to disagree here. I started saving my first coins for extremely small jobs, amounts that seem insignificant to me today, 7 years later. $4 per job was how I started out, no kidding. That's where the beauty of DCA will pay dividends. Of course, BTC was around $400 then and I don't expect it to grow x70 in 2030 (but hey, who knows) -- but even a halving period makes a difference in all the hard work you put in with DCA over a period of years.

OP, as any person would, should earn more as they become more skillful, over time. This should also mean their disposable income grows. Bigger buys with time. I'd celebrate the starting out, it's the habitualising that's hard to do.

That means you have been DCAing for many years, and of course, your rewards will be huge. And you got me wrong, I mean, OP shouldn't rush to celebrate, but he should work hard and save more to invest more in bitcoin. He shouldn't be too daydreaming about that small investment and think that just that $15 one-time investment will make him rich. Bitcoin is not going to go up a million times and turn that $15 into a few million dollars. We can start with the smallest capital we have but keep accumulating over time, don't stop and expect a big reward with a few dollars capital.

Pakistan is now trail by 12 runs only. The partnership between Saud Shakeel and Salman Ali Agha was broken by 172 runs a game-changer partnership. Agha is out with a score of 83 runs wicket taken by Ramesh Mendis. But Suod Shakeel amazing scored a hundred a well deserved century and played at 112 runs not out. A lovely player he is he plays 6 text match and in every match, he score fifty. Sirlinka bowler does not do well today I think the pitch is now a fever of the batting side. However Pakistan better speciality Saud Shakeel and Agha played well and continue after the wicket of Agha, Noman Ali come and played at 7 not out. The current score of Pakistan is 300 by loss of 6 wickets. I think Pakistan will give a lead of 100 plus runs that a challenge for Sirlinka.
Pakistan managed to take the lead. Before the lunch break, they managed to collect 313 runs with the loss of 6 wickets. Although Agha Salman failed to score a century, Saud Shakeel is still unbeaten with 119 runs. Apart from Saud Shakeel now Noman Ali is batting very responsibly. He is unbeaten with 13 runs off 49 balls. If Saud Shakeel is at the crease, Pakistan will take a lead of at least 100 runs. I will say if Pakistan can take more than 150 lead today then Pakistan will win this match. It will be difficult for both teams to score runs on this pitch in the second innings.
Salman Ali Agha Missed His Well Deserved Hundred By Just 17 Runs Some 80s Are Better than a Hundred Pakistan is now lead by 43 runs Saud Shakeel played amazingly at 135 runs unbeaten while Naseem Shah is playing dots only. Pakistan 355 runs in a loss of 8 wickets Sirlinkan Spineer was unable to pick lower order wickets too fast. I think if Saud played Aggressive shorts lead will be 100 plus that an enough to make a pressure on Sirlinka's batter to win this match. Ramesh Mendis pick 2 wickets today Agha and Noman Ali although the quality spin blower of Sirlinka Prabath Jayasuriya does not pick any wickets today let's see how many runs leads are given by Pakistan to Sirlinka.

The Sri Lankan bowler's performance is not good today. Sri Lankan bowlers are not able to take the wickets of Pakistan's lower order. And slowly Pakistan team is moving towards a big collection. Now Pakistan's total is 381/8. Naseem Shah is providing excellent support to Saud Shakeel. Saud Shakeel remains unbeaten with 154 runs. On the other hand, Naseem Shah collected only 1 run off 25 balls. Pakistan has already got 35 runs from this pair. Pakistan has taken a lead of 69 runs. This is a very good collection. If the Pakistani bowlers can bowl controlled in the next innings, the chances of Pakistan winning are high.

Many people are into bitcoin today because of the profits they get from bitcoin. If Bitcoin profits are removed, do you think that a vast number of people will still be interested in bitcoin again?

Let's allow people to do what they feel like with their Bitcoin. if they feel like trading on it without wanting to know the main reason behind bitcoin's creation, that's their business and choice to make since they are after making profits at the end of their investment in bitcoin. They are not to be questioned about it(the way the want to use their bitcoin)

Many people will try to lie that if bitcoin is no longer profitable, they will still hold bitcoin, but I will be blunt. I wouldn't need bitcoin if it was no longer profitable and could just use a stable currency. Although we can still use it to use for international payments or to store assets without depending on the bank, but those are not attractive enough for many people.
There is nothing wrong with people seeing bitcoin as an investment, because the need for money comes first these days. Although bitcoin is not made for investment, when it is an investment, it gives us many benefits, so why do we always complain when it is not used as currency? What Bitcoin is is not so important, what is important is that it benefits us.
1139  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has already campaign for itself on: July 18, 2023, 09:04:50 AM
Let me say that Bitcoin has taken it stand and theirs no point of carrying out campaign of Bitcoin like before or imposing Bitcoin knowledge to children which we know that with time those children you are trying to teach bitcoin will know of Bitcoin through a social media.
Whether with Bitcoin or any other field of endeavour, I find it distasteful when people coerce others into doing things they aren't keen on doing, especially if it's something on career. If it were on discipline, I'm all in on that. Children should be taught morals and etiquettes but we shouldn't force them into pleasing us when it comes to picking a career. Adults who haven't done enough of investing on their own are coercing children to do likewise. It's crazy. It's the same way we push kids to study certain courses we feel are lucrative. All so it makes us feel good about ourselves. No, that's wrong. Kids are humans. Our responsibility to them should be to guard them on the choice they make and not shove whatever we aspire to down their throats.

I also strongly oppose anyone trying to force their children to learn about bitcoin. You are right, children need to be taught morals and etiquette more than anything, they don't need to know about investing too early. Frankly, bitcoin is just money, and as a digital asset, it's not very important knowledge anyone needs. Many people also don't know what bitcoin is, but they still have a better life than many who invest in it. Bitcoin should only be introduced when our children are adults, and it's just an option and not forced on them if they don't like it.

When the price of Bitcoin was $22K you bought some Bitcoin but now the price of Bitcoin has increased to over $30K which means you may have made some money on your previous investment and your subsequent investment. If you could have invested some more money in Bitcoin at the time you invested in the second step, you might have earned a good profit from your investment. Anyway, congratulations on your investment. Don't take any investment as small as you start investing you can gradually increase the amount of investment. Whatever money you start with is very important for you because not everyone can decide to invest and even if they decide to invest, not everyone can invest.

OP is already profitable, but honestly, his investment is insignificant, so there's no need to celebrate. What he needs to do is find a way to generate more income and save more money to invest in bitcoin if he wants to get bigger things in the future. If he stops with that small capital even if bitcoin reaches 100k, the profit will be negligible and does not make any breakthrough for life. Bitcoin is not an investment that can make him rich with just a small amount of capital.
