Leicester are said to be interested in Gosens from Inter. He is a left-back and he would be a nice addition to their defense line to strengthen it.

However this wouldn't be enough for them surely. They had better sign at least one solid centre-back as well. Their main problem has been with their defense for a long time. They have conceded so many goals in the English Premier League and this caused them to have a poor run. They are newly fixing things but they still need new players to get stronger. I don't believe they need any attacker for now as they don't have any problem about scoring goals.
No doubt they need to fix few things which give them one off the worst start of this season even right now they are improving but still they have to bring few quality players which give them better results in last five matches they concede just one goal which is surely the biggest improvement with attack is surely on good run with ten goals in last five games with these results look like there was issue in strategy instead of players or other but still its good decision if they are bringing centre-back, and they need to have settled issue in defence but now also need to have improved performance as they have done in last few weeks because now after break things could be more tough and if they want to have better spot than surely they need to have good strategy.

Fair enough. FTX has a multi billion dollar loss and I’m sure that all crypto company that exposed loss a lot of FTX bankruptcy. Avoiding all the exchange, DeFi and Blockchain involve is the best way to avoid loss when the company went down. Most of the FTX network are all centralized, It’s very risky to let your balance stay in there since a lot of money is loss due to SBF financial mismanagement.

Currently I’m on fiat because crypto even stablecoin might suffer huge dump when the general market enters the panic mode.
Not all exchanges but only centralized exchanges are the ones that we must avoid because issues that happened on FTX can possibly happen with them soon but we can continue using some of the DeFi and Blockhain platforms because situations like this where everyone is panicking is the best time to attack and accumulate more coins. If you have accumulated enough coins from the past then you can lay low for a while because the market is toxic right now and it can affect your decision making.

It's impossible for stable coins to dump unless if that stable coins are same with UST but we should properly pick a stable coin or the one which has a better reputation. It's not wrong to have some fiat but cryptos are still way better for some reason.

1st T-20 match abandoned without a ball bowled, no toss.It's continued  to poor condition in Wellington. It's  very sad news for us and cricket fans.Today's have no cricket match.We we're waiting to see interesting match but match abandoned. Well, we are waiting for 2nd T-20 match India vs New Zealand.
No one has control over the rain and weather however i am hopeful that we see a full match at Mount Maunganui on Sunday between these two teams, India and New Zealand.

The odds by stake.com are pretty similar to what they were for the first match. New Zealand is the favorite team with odds of 1.66 and India with 2.14. Both teams are the losers in the semi final of the world cup and they would want to win this series in order to make up for their loss.
The odds are surely very good for New Zealand because India is playing without their few key players and New Zealand is playing at home which is good advantage for them and their performance in last few matches is also good, so they are giving the odds of @1.66 juicy as I have no positive thinking about India in this series specially after humiliated defeat against England is surely having big impact, and they need to do very good at coming matches for bringing back their confidence which is important for having in good touch against top quality teams specially teams from SENA countries which never give you easy competition in any format in their own conditions which are already not easy for teams from subcontinent.
1284  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: November 18, 2022, 04:50:41 PM
I would say that it was a poor performance from both the teams. UAE batting completely collapsed and at one point they were 93/9. But then the 10th wicket partnership between Aayan Afzal Khan and Hazrat Bilal took them to 176/9. It was very poor bowling from the Nepalis in the end, and they were unable to take the last wicket and restrict UAE to a total of less than 100. Anyway, Nepal won the series 2-1, which will be beneficial for them as far as the ICC raking for ODI is concerned. Disappointing results for the UAE.
Today for the last and final ODI Nepal was completely on another level specially their bowling was impressive as they take few early wickets and not allow UAE to play freely and have enough runs on board which create problems for them here we have to praise captaincy of Rohit Paudel who done good changes and bring his bowlers on right time for having break through which works for them.

They are able to have won this ODI series which give them good confidence Aasif Shaikh contribution of 88 is surely best for them and this young boy can bring better results for his team even right now it's long way for the Nepal team, but they can change things for themselves if they are able to improve quality in coming years both ODI and twenty/20 formats can be handy for them.

Newcastle has played 15 matches, Man City played 14 matches. If Man City won the next match (Leeds vs Man City), Man City points will be 35 and the point gap becomes 5 points. Anyway, it is actually not only about the point gap, it is also about the squad depth and players' quality. I don't underestimate Newcastle squad, but I am not sure Newcastle can always give their best the whole season with their current squad. If some of their key players got injured or decrease their performance, Newcastle probably gets difficulty maintaining their best performance. Especially, when they are against strong teams like Man City, Arsenal, or Tottenham. It is very possible that they will miss points.
You are right that perhaps it is not only about the points difference here, but there are other aspects such as squad depth. But, seeing from their good performance this season, it is not impossible for them to even be in second place in the standings.

We have to remember that the mentality and the current state of things have heavily influenced their form for this season alone. I think you have to remember how Leicester went, even when they were top of the table there were a lot of people who thought it was only a temporary thing. But what? Leicester were able to prove who they were at that time.
Now we have nearly 40 days break mean surely things could be not same after this break and ups and downs for many teams surely going to happen with any serious injury can bring big setback for any team just because of this all we can't give any correct prediction about any team but right now we have few teams which give shocking performance in this season which is surely good but can they give this performance after break its question mark.

Specially Arsenal and Newcastle United both are at first and third spot which was not expected, but they achieve good results so with this all know how things will be going to work for this all we have to wait until few matches of next round for me most chances things could be same, and we will watch not good change at the top of Premier League table.

You would need to launder that money, and that's honestly not a life i want to have.
If you started buying a house etc, officials would be very interested where you got that money and if you payed tax for it. You coun't deposit it in any bank as they need to know where you got that much money. I mean there are ways to do it but it involves too much criminal elements for my taste. I rather would sleep in peace knowing that no one is after me.
With that money, it wouldn't be easy for him to use it because he would have been monitored by regulators or even the police so if he used even a little money, they would ask him for the details.

We can return the money to the party concerned and explain the situation. I'm sure they will be able to accept that it was their own fault. And if we do not use the money, maybe they will reward us for our honesty and think we did the right thing by reporting it to them.
People in their right minds won't touch the money because they know that it wasn't theirs and the amount is also huge but what is only strange is that the woman in the story spend the money on many things and it took months for the exchange to find out this issue, resulting for the public to suspect and think what happen is an inside job.

I think this is also the exchange that mistakenly received 300k eth from another exchange and they call it an accident but the catch is it happened for the second time around. See how fishy these centralized crypto exchanges are? This is why we shouldn't be confident on trusting our money on them.
1287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 17, 2022, 09:39:40 PM
The key to Napoli's success so far is that they play very compactly as a team, no player is considered more than the other, we often see when there is a star player in a club the player is like a boss and must be the focus to make him even more great, but at Napoli Instead, they focus on the success of the team
Im not sure that thing gonna be last until napoli will get trophy if napoli will be selling its striker and some players in the club that contributed a lot to the napoli. that would make the situation become very different. Remember that there will be so many offers come for napoli next transfer season. So many team have been targetting some best players in napoli caused by those team saw that napoli have a very well performance in serie a and champion league.
Napoli may not able to win the trophy if some players will be deciding to leave from napoli and try to join with another club. Napoli must have tried so hard to defend their players from another team to make sure napoli can continue the good trend like winning any match in serie a
I feel like they could just wait until the summer before they sell their players. Which would mean that they would be still making a lot of money, and believe me selling players for 50+ million and so forth means a ton of money for them.

By comparison the whole salary of the squad right now is around 60 million, meaning if they could sell Osimhem for 60 million which is not impossible, they would be able to pay everyone for a whole year without needing anything else, all the other costs would not be huge, and all the profits would go directly into profit side and could be used to make the team better.  That is why I believe that they could make so much more profit if they could just wait until the season is over.
1288  Economy / Economics / Re: Nations should impose special taxes on oil firms: UN Secretary General on: November 17, 2022, 08:32:20 PM
Sudden change in the tax policy simply because few companies managed to earn more than their previous year is fair? And do you think increasing the tax for the four companies will be benefitable for the other people who is in need? If that much fund needed in reality then why not reduce the fund allocation for their defense an give a small percentage to the people who is in need! Roll Eyes
Oil companies really should be taxed so heavily that this industry gradually declines, and the consumption of oil and petroleum products decreases. Mankind, finally, needs to take care of its survival in a global sense and stop poisoning the environment and changing the climate. We need to switch to alternative sources of electricity and make them cheaper and more efficient. Only with such a position will we still have a chance for survival. But this requires a clear strategy of action.
Why are you wishing them to decline? LoL, I think that was a bad idea and it doesn't only affect the company itself but also the economy of one's country, so be careful what you wish for because it might turn into reality but there is also a chance for this to be real since there's also renewable energy that people can use such as solar, heat, wind, hydro and many more.

Electric cars are also being built up but they are kinda expensive at the moment so expect that there will still be a demand in oil or petroleum products. Oils aren't the only one that can pollute the environment anyway, but there are still many more and it will also depend on the people's actions so don't totally put the blame on them.
1289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: November 17, 2022, 07:14:34 PM
The biggest weak point of Barcelona's team is their weak defense. One of the reasons why they lose most of the matches is because of their poor defensive performance. If Barcelona want to move forward, the first step they need to take now is the defense.

So what do you think is the problem with defense? Is it the poor quality of the stoppers or is it a tactical problem? Christensen and Alonso came from Chelsea, they know each other. They should have gotten a good fit. Since Pique retired from football, it may be necessary to get another central defender numerically. There is a new signing Kounde, and there is also Garcia. Actually they have 4 good defenders but they are not at superstar level yet. I don't think it's a big deal on defense. In fact, Barcelona was defeated only once in the league and drew once. They conceded only 5 goals in 14 matches. This looks like a pretty good stats. I can't agree with the view that it's a defense issue.
Right now after 14th rounds Barcelona is having the best defence in La Liga because in all matches they concede only five goals and having four clean sheets in five matches are still good now as time is running out they are improving and strategy is also doing good benefits which are very good there were few other issues but surely not related to this.

Currently, their biggest issue is debit which is surely hurting them badly, and they are trying to settle this, but things are not favourable specially as they are selling their shares from other subsidies mean their profit margin is also cutting, so hopefully they will have smoother system which will help to have better hands in this all case specially right now few good things are also coming with mostly they can end this season as winner because their team is best, and their bench power is also good.
1290  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How long do you think the market will take to recover? on: November 16, 2022, 07:18:22 PM
Market is not suited well and all the coins deteriorated in values and by speculating these bad condition everyone has just an option to hold and keep holding, there is no one who will desire to sell because by doing so they will have disadvantage of it. I hope these low values become end in next year and all coins reclaim and things will be normalize and stabilize again.
Some people sells coins during the dip market, because they have target, everyone do lament negativity concerning bearish market while some of us do make profit during bearish market, because because the prefer to buy and sell when the price rise a little, and secondly holding a coin during the bearish time have a major disadvantage, because bearish market can continue to exist for long time. So that's why some people buy and sell to with the ratio of little profit.
I think the one that you are talking about are the traders. No matter what is the status of the market, bear or bull, traders keeps on buying and selling only to earn something. Not everyone can copy what they are doing because it is hard and risky so some will just stick on long term investing.

The other advantage of being a hodler is that the profit that they will get are also bigger because all the coins that they accumulate during the bear market are going to be sold at one go. The market is showing some small recoveries from time to time but if what we mean is big recoveries like returning to the previous ath then I think it will happen next year.

I'm tired of listening to FTX and Binance drama these days and finally here's some good news.

The ecological imbalance threats of Bitcoin mining were the reason Bitcoin adoption becomes slow and it comes to mining and good thing it becomes green Bitcoin mining now and this big company firms find a solution to this which is totally good news. 

Let's hope other big companies will find another green solution of mining Bitcoin, this is a good step in Bitcoin adoption which start with a green process.
The FTX and Binance issue is still fresh so expect that many people are still going to talk about them but you don't need to join them if you are tired of the repetitive discussion. Meanwhile it's also fresh in our eyes to see a good news like the Op has shared because we noticed that 2022 is mainly full of negative news and that have greatly fuelled the bear market making the price more dumped as usual.

It's true that btc mining is the reason on why some countries ban btc and it affects the adoption rate but I think some only uses it as an excuse to ban btc but there might be other reasons behind the ban but let see if there will be a change later on, after this positive news.
1292  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The bear market is your friend on: November 16, 2022, 05:02:25 PM
But do you know that the bear market is a blessing in disguise for every investors that is prepared and has been waiting for the dump ?
Investors who have been here for long, and already witnessed the ups and down of the market are the ones waiting for this season to fill their bags because it's a time to accumulate. But some investors who are lacking of knowledge and experience fear this current season because of the decreasing price of their assets, hence they're having doubts. Only those who can handle their emotions and able to hold until the market recover have the chance to become a gainer.

Anyway if you're going to buy now, make sure that you dig deeper since not all coins with cheap prices are good to buy at this time. Some of them will never recover for not having a real use case, in short a shitcoins.
Not only them but there are newbies too who are waiting for this dip before they enter. Don't underestimate them because they are knowledgeable too and already did a research if how to be successful in crypto investing. This bear is a blessing in disguise for those who are not ready for this and are only force to buy but it is simply called as a blessing for those who know its true purpose. Even without a bear market, shitcoins do already have a cheap price so this bear shouldn't confuse us with them.

There is no need to prioritize them but we can always invest on them later on if we want to try our luck and gamble but for now, top coins are the ones that we must prioritize because they rarely drop like this.
1293  Economy / Exchanges / Re: What is now the difference with Ponzi platforms with cryptocurrency exchanges on: November 16, 2022, 09:54:36 AM
FTX had become the recent trend of fail exchange that lack strong team that will make a better exchange. We should know that their is a different between an exchange and ponzi scheme. Most exchanges that short down do not do so because they intend to go away with customers funds. This happens mostly because of hacking, bad management and other factors that can easily tag a company bad and we should not be happy when many had lost their funds without having a an that they will get compensated.
I think they have a strong team because if not then they won't grow and became popular but I think they got greedy and not contented on what they currently have. This is where they messed up with the users funds in hopes of growing it more bigger but they fail and now they are in this sticky situation. Once again, this shows that greed isn't a good quality to adopt with it.

What happened with FTX is intentional and not a cause of bad management. I heard hacking have also happened afterwards but there are rumours which says that the hack was intentional or an inside job. Many will say that FTX is not far from a ponzi but there are still other exchanges which are not like that. Users should only stay vigilant and don't store most of their funds inside a cex, just in case history repeats itself.
1294  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you like commission job or salary base job? on: November 14, 2022, 08:18:02 PM
whatever opinion is here I think it's true. Back again to the individual human mentality, where not everyone can take risks like other people, so if that's the case, salary is a good thing to do. but I personally tend to look for a safe point and then do a side business, so that the salary income I can use to meet daily needs, while the commission I get is to invest and maybe open a new business, until the time comes when I will let myself go as an employee and become an entrepreneur completely
The salary plus the hobby that you do for side income is the proof that most of humanity just wants to have their own business and do whatever they want instead of a salary based job. The idea of 9-5 is not appealing to anyone, and the idea of a boss that yells at you is definitely not one neither.

This is why I believe that we shouldn't be shocked to learn people just fail to do that or do not have the courage to leave. That means they cannot just have their own business, or freelance, they just get into a job and retire there because they are afraid. I have met with both kinds of people and none of the salary based ones were happy about it, because even the idea of going to office is not cool.
1295  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Here is my take on FTX case on: November 14, 2022, 06:33:31 PM
I'm sorry to say that, but you seem kinda delusional. Maybe repeating this "feel good" "everything will be alright in the end" BS helps you in any way. It definitely doesn't help me and I don't even have any coins deposited in FTX/BlockFi.
Do you really think that "financial institutions banks and funds" are going to step in an save FTX? Why? FTX is "hot garbage" at this point.
Why would a financial institution waste billions of dollars in order to save the investors of a "financial blackhole"? The banks aren't charity foundations.
Sam Bankman-Fried always seemed like a sociopath to me. I don't know why so many people liked him so much.
Saving is not the right word for it but buying is. They want to buy FTX and trying to re build it's broken reputation again to widen their business and to earn more profit because FTX is already a well known exchange but I think it's risky since there are people who likely built a trauma and won't trust the same exchange again no matter what the conditions they will do and worst is they won't also trust the other innocent exchanges and they permanently leave crypto for good. Maybe many people like sam bankman fried because he did something great in the past but now? Not anymore because of what happened with his exchange FTX and their coin FTT.
1296  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 5 Bear Market Mistakes to Avoid on: November 13, 2022, 04:28:22 PM
I think the biggest mistake we make in bear market is that we put all our funds in one go to buy digital asset when it starts recovering after crash hoping that market is oversold, and price recovery has started. Unfortunately, this recovery process is short lived and price slides down further and we are not left with any funds to do dollar cost average our portfolio. The best strategy is making buying in at least 3 steps by when you see opportunity on weekly or monthly technical charts.
DCA can be an optional strategy but what is wrong with what you said is when they invest in a recovering market. That's not a proper way to invest but we should observe first if the market is getting stable and it seems the bottom is already reached out. That should be the time for us to invest and not when it's recovering because that can only be a bull trap. Bull traps have happened many times during this bear market.

I just noticed that the op included short term investment but I think there is nothing wrong with that because volatilities are also active whenever there is a bear. It's always possible for us to buy low and sell after some small recovery.
1297  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Stop justify stealing exchangers Are responseble on: November 13, 2022, 02:08:01 PM
No one is defending exchanges but why leave funds with CEX when a better option exist one that gives you a better choice of been your own bank. No matter what reputation an exchange has it doesn't stop them from vanishing into tin air when the system get hacked. Cold wallets gives you a better option why chose hot. Not your coin, Not your keys
There are some who defend them. They have the same views with the OP and they think exchanges are innocent and shouldn't be blamed but for those who lost their money and those who see their portfolios decreasing, they can easily put the blame to the exchanges because they think they are the root cause of this issue but indeed that no matter what is their reputation it is still possible for them to turn out bad later on.

We already have a lots of examples about that so let us not be too confident on them. Only less people are only storing their money on the exchange because they also know that is risky unless if it gives them some benefits like they are earning a profit with it.

Inflation was killing me 2 years ago - I was jobless and was always wondering how I am going to come out of it- they I started working - working real hard.
No I dont get time to over things and I am trying to be financially stable - because crying over increased prices is not going to help only financial stability will
Even if you're not in a good place right now, don't worry too much. Take the time to find a job and stay financially stable Because inflation is a problem for many people.

The idea is to have multiple sources of income that you can use to protect yourself from inflation. Different sources of income will affect you differently in difficult times. The basic rule is to try to be in a position so you don't have to sell assets during an inflation crisis.
It seems he is now because he already learned his past lesson. For us who still experience a difficulty due to inflation, we can also follow what he did there which is to work hard. Not just hard but real hard. Means we need to do overtime, if not then we can do side hustles. That way we can increase our income.

Budgeting is also important even if he didn't mentioned it there because no matter how much money you have if you don't know how to budget, it will always be drained out easily. Investing is also a good counter measures in inflation and we don't just invest forever but we also need to sell our assets by the time we need it.

My focus is on Liverpool this weekend and how the club manages to play tomorrow's match if I must predict the outcome I will say Liverpool will win with multiple goals difference just to make it as a welcome back package for Liverpool this season after their loss many of the matches.

Normally there is no reason for Liverpool to drop points especially when they are playing at home as we know Liverpool currently fall to 8th place
Of course this is not normal for Liverpool they have to try to stay in the top 4 therefore this is the right moment to get 3 points because Southampton is an easy opponent
For the total goals are sometimes unpredictable Liverpool can win 1 goal or even more than 5 goals like they did in the champions league.
Two back to back defeats against lower rank teams are surely big setback for them, but now they are back in good touch with win against Napoli in Champions League give them good confidence which is going to help for improving their form and position in league table match against Southampton is surely not easy as they are struggling and visitors are never been easy with having tag of giant killers as they hold leaders Arsenal even they were playing at home but Liverpool need to be careful and aggressive because now things are not easy and if they want alive their hopes for going into good position then surely they have to win this match with good margin which will help them for having good confidence and good position.

It is time for Tottenham to start winning again. Leeds are not a serious opponent for them. They have a big dominance against Leeds in their recent head-to-head games. I know that Leeds beat Liverpool away not much time ago. But it is really difficult for them to do this again versus a big team like Tottenham as well.

I expect and hope Tottenham attackers to be very productive here and they should be able to get a nice win. Kane is already doing great actually. He has reached 11 goals in the league. I don't know if he can compete with Haaland for being top scorer. It is really difficult to keep up with Haaland.
Tottenham in yesterday's match they were very embarrassed because they had to lose to a team that actually didn't have good enough strength but the teamwork from Nottm Forest managed to beat a big club like Tottenham, I really hope this match against Leeds won't be a nightmare anymore and it won't disappoint many supporters because if Tottenham lose again against a small team it will make many disappointed.
I have been feeling their main focus is now Premier League, so they will be not embarrassed with this defeat things are not looking positive for them in Premier League, and they have to do good performance if they want to stay alive in top ranks which needs more dedication and positive development Newcastle United already topped them and now Manchester United is also creating pressure which could be challenge for them, and they have to do good in match against Leeds United as Chelsea is dropped badly, and now they are going to visit Newcastle United which can beat them and stay at third spot so Tottenham surely more focused on their current position in league and want to good.
