bitcoin is meant to serve as an alternative means of making payments by the people who think using fiat is not fare enough for their privacy and trust
People who have this kind thought need to introspection themselves, how frequently you use Bitcoin to pay or buy something? yes you can't use Bitcoin in your country yet since your government haven't legalized Bitcoin as a currency. But you have no excuse when we're talk about online marketplace or paying a subscription because it don't have Bitcoin to be accepted as currency in your country. Most of the people who went to a rally are getting paid. I do not know about other countries but in my country that is the case. I even saw the same person in every rally may it be pro-government or anti-government protest. Rally manager instigates these kinds of an event because there is money to make with it. Through sponsors that pay for their involvement in the protest. I also think that there is no need for Bitcoin to protest against the government currency because Bitcoin is doing good even without these environment disturbances. If what you claim about people in your country being paid to attend protests is accurate, its a sad indication of how your nation's social and political fabric has crumbled. No matter what they may stand for, why do you keep running into the same individual at rallies? What a fictitious nightmare! But the real shocker is this: how gullible would you have to be to believe that every political event or cause is designed to generate revenue? Without any minor street protests, Bitcoin can do well compared to monetary systems controlled by governments. Without having to yell slogans in the streets, it is altering how people view money. That, my friend, is where the true protest lies as it silently and gradually eliminates conventional money systems Just like you, no matter how good you are, there will always be people who like you and hate you. Similarly, even a developed country and a great power, there are always people who oppose because they are jealous, jealous of the success of others. It is normal for a country to have only a small percentage of protesters or protesters, and that is not enough to say that the country is bad. America is a country where terrorism and riots are frequent, do you consider them a broken country? I really like bitcoin because it gives me a lot of benefits not just a return on investment in it, but honestly, I don't believe it is slowly phasing out traditional monetary systems. How? when the government is still the head of this world. |

No reason to blame them for the initial burst as it was their right but at the same time, they also knew that it was fool's errand and they wasted a fair amount of time.
The next Championship trophy is also scheduled in Pakistan and i bet this story will repeat again, maybe it would be wise if they can follow the hybrid model same as the Asia Cup.
The same thing is definitely going to be repeated. And again, I believe it is going to be two countries hosting the championship trophy. But I hope that is going to be a better fixture. A proposal that beckons is to allocate the initial half of the tournament to take place in Pakistan, while the latter half shall unfold in another captivating destination outside Pakistan.. Not one match here and the next match there. And of course Pakistan is in the right to ask to host the tournament. But if the situation in Pakistan gets better, I think Pakistan might be able to host the whole tournament. But Pakistan will have to give the touring players a huge amount of security in any case. |

This is the dream for all of us who have less than one Bitcoin. There are many things we are doing which doesn't include listening to the FUD. For us, it doesn't matter whether the price is 24K or 35k. Our goal is to own at least one Bitcoin, it's not the price that moves us to buy more , it is our strategic plan . I have been doing Dollar cost averaging for some time now but with the dip in price, I have slightly increase the amount I use for the DCA. And when there is a bull run , I'll slightly decrease the amount I use for DCA until I reach the goal.
Is bitcoin price really unimportant? If it doesn't matter why do we discuss prices every day? Those looking to buy more bitcoin always expect a prolonged bear market, and those who have bought enough bitcoin always expect a bull market. And if you are dreaming of having enough 1 bitcoin, you have to care about the price even more because the higher the price goes up, the more difficult it will be to own 1 bitcoin, and vice versa. So OP or whoever says they don't care about price is lying. We accumulate bitcoins for profit, so there is no such thing as the price of bitcoins being unimportant and not a concern. |

What exactly is the point of the topic? Are you trying to state the obvious which is already an established knowledge or fact on this forum or are you asking a question? I would assume you are asking a question and try to provide answers from what I understand.
Bitcoin is not anonymous. It has never been and this is why it is easier to launder money using the US dollar and it will forever be untraceable than it is to use Bitcoin even when you use mixers it will still be tracked. So many mixers have been seized because this.
I also don't understand what OP is trying to tell us here. But when it comes to anonymity, cash offers much better anonymity than bitcoin or any other method, but we have never been informed by the government that cash has anything to do with criminals like what they are propagating about bitcoin. But I wonder, if we use bitcoin mixer, how can they be tracking us? Isn't a mixer the best solution so no one knows we are holding bitcoins? Many mixers have been shut down by the government because they fear and think criminals are using them to get around them, but I don't think only criminals use mixers but normal users also use them. |

People know how bitcoin is very volatile and they will not want to go for it. Isn't the volatility part of the reason they should rather go for bitcoin because it renders opportunities for investors to come in, also come to think of it this way how we have bitcoin global adoption this far with it market cap where it is today, people know that bitcoin is volatile and want it like that because in so doing lies their own opportunity for making profits if invested, you can also see from how everyone had target on bullrun coming soon next year, yet bitcoin adoption keep increasing globally. Not everyone enjoys volatility and not everyone enjoys investing as we do. Many of my friends aren't even interested in any investment, be it real estate or stocks, let alone bitcoin, a volatile asset. One more thing, not everyone considers bitcoin as an investment, there are still many people who prefer to use bitcoin as a means of payment and the volatility of bitcoin is a barrier for them. They feel uncomfortable with its volatility. Bitcoin adoption is on the rise but don't expect that everyone will like it and will invest in it. |

Don’t get me wrong, I definitely think that the Caribbean Premier League is definitely one of the better ones. And I can say that because there are not many quality to 20 leagues to be honest. I actually think that the IPL is the best and that IPL has set the level of expectation a lot higher. And that is certainly a problem for the other T-20 league because they will hardly be able to achieve that level. Australia and England are certainly doing a decent job. But I cannot say that for the other T-20 leagues. Caribbean Premier League is definitely not bad. But the fact that West Indies are not able to perform well with their national team does eventually affect the Caribbean T-20 league.
No other T20 league has been able to create such a position like the IPL and we must be kept it separately. The way Indian people love cricket that are really appreciable, they spend more time and money on cricket that is unexampled by any other country. Moreover, they have huge population who are cricket fans. No matter how well Australia or England do in their country, they have not been able to popularize T20 leagues. We recognize that Australia has announced to reduce the number of matches in the last BBL T20 that means they are not very profitable. Well, I agree about the population of India, being very fond of cricket. India is certainly one of the best in cricket ever. And the population has always been playing a crucial part in that. The Indian people are so fond of cricket that they push their children to play cricket professionally often. If right now people from every other country stops watching the IPL, it is not going to matter too much because India will still have a very big audience to watch in the IPL. About the IPL, India is self-sufficient. And that is why no matter what the other countries do, they are never going to come close to the IPL. |

@fuguebtc Not some but a billion people didn't want their team to visit Pakistan for the Asia Cup. It was very clear from the start but all parties, especially PCB wasted a lot of time. Although their grievances were genuine but dick measuring contest with the BCCI on political grounds wasn't necessary, recently it happened with the WC fixtures too.
Yeah, hard for players to travel back n forth for just 1 match. It's final so no one can do anything about it. Now ACC must take extra care of players when traveling, maybe provide Charter flights.
I am actually not going to blame the Pakistan Cricket Board in this situation. If it was me or anyone else I can guarantee that they would have done the same as well. Of course, the Pakistan Cricket Board is going to want to host when it is their turn. So of course, I don’t think we can actually playing Pakistan Cricket Board. Simultaneously, I acknowledge that Pakistan may not be an optimal choice for hosting the Asia Cup. I know that the fixture is already made and there is nothing that can be done about it. I hope there are not going to be any problems in this tournament. But people should learn from their mistakes. |

Is regulations among the key factors that affects the price of Bitcoin
Government regulation will determine the popularity of bitcoin and hence will affect people's demand, so it can be said that regulation is the main factor affecting bitcoin price. If all governments accept and legalize bitcoin while encouraging people to use bitcoin. I believe that will trigger a crazy bull run for bitcoin and we will even see $1 million per bitcoin. But that won't happen anytime soon as governments are still not really friendly with bitcoin, they are still wary of it because they always think its decentralization will harm their centralized system. |

The cryptocurrency market is always changing and volatility is inevitable. Bitcoin has experienced great volatility in the past and has continued to survive and recover. A bear market isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it can create buying opportunities at lower prices for those who believe in its long-term potential.
The future of Bitcoin or the crypto market cannot be predicted, but it can be a wise strategy to remain loyal and patient in an ever-changing environment. Most importantly, always follow the principles of risk management and only invest money that you can lose without putting your personal financial situation in jeopardy.
What you said is what I am thinking, bitcoin price drop is not a bad thing, why should we fear and criticize Elon or whoever caused this? Those who are still in the market by now know very well that bitcoin is volatile and that dumping or spikes are a characteristic feature of it. It has happened a million times already, why are we constantly surprised and disappointed when it happens? People who feel frustrated or blame others make me feel like they don't have any plans for their investments. |

If as you said, you are not willing to use bitcoin in public, it means that you do not want people to know you are a bitcoin investor. If everyone is like you, how can bitcoin become a currency, a means of payment when everyone hides that they own bitcoin? We always want bitcoin to become more popular, always want people to know more about bitcoin, but meanwhile we are afraid to use bitcoin or spread bitcoin to others. How can bitcoin become popular?
The truth is that, despite the fact that we all want to see bitcoin getting global recognition and acceptance, doesn't mean that we would want to risk ourselves especially in countries with very strict regulations against bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. And with that been said, I wouldn't have to blame the woman because she made her exchange physical and obvious and I also wouldn't expect the woman to ask her customers the source of their wealth before trading with them because I believe bitcoin is decentralized and as such she wasn't expected to ask her customers how their bitcoin is gotten because there are people who earn and own bitcoin genuinely and I think the security officers were to rash with their decisions. If your country's government has strict and nasty regulations on bitcoin, then I agree that we shouldn't risk spreading bitcoins to others or regularly using bitcoins. But if your country has regulated and legalized bitcoin, then we need to do something to make bitcoin more popular. Don't be too selfish when we always say people should disseminate information about bitcoin while we keep it a secret from others. Many people are doing this, they often go on social media to urge people to spread bitcoin to the people around to make bitcoin more popular, but they are not doing it because they think they need privacy, and that is selfish. |

Lol Ditto!
In general, all names i came across when i read posts here, Sithara's normally post about random T-20 leagues even random fixtures, mostly associate matches.
At least someone is following T-20 format seriously. All i know about BBL, PSL, The 100 and SA t-20. When it comes to details then I only follow IPL. LOL.. it is strange that you doesn't consider the Caribbean Premier League in the same level as BBL and PSL. For heaven's sake CPL came much before the PSL and the 100. SA20 is a very recent invention. On top of that, CPL is one of the most popular foreign leagues as far as Indian audience is concerned. And I believe that it has a higher viewer-share compared to either BBL or PSL. Anyway, I keep track of all the T20 leagues around the world and it gives an idea in which way the sport is moving. My prediction is that bilaterals will become history in another 5-6 years and franchise T20 leagues will become more prominent. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely think that the Caribbean Premier League is definitely one of the better ones. And I can say that because there are not many quality to 20 leagues to be honest. I actually think that the IPL is the best and that IPL has set the level of expectation a lot higher. And that is certainly a problem for the other T-20 league because they will hardly be able to achieve that level. Australia and England are certainly doing a decent job. But I cannot say that for the other T-20 leagues. Caribbean Premier League is definitely not bad. But the fact that West Indies are not able to perform well with their national team does eventually affect the Caribbean T-20 league. |

Sithara007, I am going to be blunt about the broadcasters, not hyping the Asia cup. Some of them are just straight up, not happy with asia cup even being played in Pakistan. that’s why they are simply not happy about it.
Not sure if that's the case. The most possible reason, promos etc got delayed because of drama between BCCI and PCB. A fair amount of discussions were going on and at some point, there was no surety of the Asia cup. Well, that is definitely also a big reason. The promos definitely got delayed. But I certainly cannot avoid the fact that there are some who actually do not like the idea of the Asia cup being played in Pakistan. And about the fixture, I absolutely understand why a lot of people do not like this. Even I was thinking that it is going to be really inconvenient to have one match played in Pakistan and the next match played in Sri Lanka and the match after that again played in Pakistan. Of course, I am exaggerating a little but that is really inefficient in my opinion. |

I believe the topic speaks volume for itself as it is already self explanatory.
This question was born out of a real life experience where a petty trader was publicly harassed by some uniformed security personnels claiming to be some police officers and after some investigations the security personnels claimed that the woman aided some criminal activities as well as some internet fraud simply because she made her private exchanges public and the government as some point also frowns at the use of bitcoin in my country.
Now my worries is that, this singular act has driven alot of fear to some low key bitcoin holders in my neighborhood even myself and there are shops I hope in town that operate physical exchanges.
~Do you think those dealers are safe?
~And what's the fate of physical cryptocurrency exchanges(r) in your country?
Let's discuss
Personally I never used physical locations to buy bitcoin and to be honest I don't think I would ever do it simply because it means that whoever is there in that moment will know you own some crypto. Maybe you bought $10, maybe you bought 1 bitcoin, who knows, in any case others don't know and they may think you own a lot of bitcoin so, government aside, there is also a personal safety issue. If as you said, you are not willing to use bitcoin in public, it means that you do not want people to know you are a bitcoin investor. If everyone is like you, how can bitcoin become a currency, a means of payment when everyone hides that they own bitcoin? We always want bitcoin to become more popular, always want people to know more about bitcoin, but meanwhile we are afraid to use bitcoin or spread bitcoin to others. How can bitcoin become popular? |

At first I want to use this medium to introduce myself, I'm a Smartgoat and I have being studying the futuristic of Bitcoin and finally I have developed a hundred percent love to Bitcoin.
I have be wondering why people are queuing up in Bitcoin, then I began to ask if Bitcoin can make provision of food in our table. Because many people I know testify of Bitcoin and after I made my research concerning Bitcoin, I found out why people are comfortably investing in Bitcoin, is because it's a decentralized currency. then I have to come with the idea that Bitcoin can make availability of food in our table when we learn and understand the basic things of Bitcoin especially understand trading and long term investment of Bitcoin.
I think with trading they will be a provision of food in our table, when we understand the rules and regulations of Bitcoin, I don't know if this my concept can make a provision of food through Bitcoin. But I'm well convinced that with this my views over Bitcoin investment and trading it will provide or sustain human, if profit are been made. I know that Bitcoin should not be dependent on, and we suppose to make Bitcoin our side hustle but with seriousness on Bitcoin investment and trading, we can achieve a success.
A weird question to ask.. I am guessing you are asking if people invests and trades bitcoin, can they turn it into a form of "regular" jobs that will pay their bills? Yes and No. Yes, because it is possible as long as you are consistent and making profit. No, because the market is very volatile and there is a chance that you might be making a loss. How will you be paying the bills then? As long as you have a backup option, then yes it is fine... But if you literally mean if it can bring food to your table, then yes. There are apps that accepts bitcoin and delivers food to your home.. I think OP is talking about whether bitcoin can bring us income like other jobs. It's true that as you said, bitcoin may or may not be. Because in the end, bitcoin is just an investment, a currency and the investment to make a profit or be able to make money, it all depends on us, not on any asset. To be able to profit from bitcoin we need to invest money and to be able to earn bitcoin we need to work hard. So, to be more precise, bitcoin cannot feed us, we ourselves provide food for us through tools like bitcoin or any work. |

In subjects or topics like this, I've always been of the opinion that bull runs are not tied to Bitcoin halving, and that the fact that we have always experienced a bull season during every bitcoin halving season is not an indication that such thing is established and will continue like that forever, NO, I've always said it that, at some point in time, Bitcoin halving will come and go normally and the price of bitcoin will not move upward an inch, at this time, it simply means the market have matured and bull runs are no longer triggered by simple things like halving.
But then, the thing now is that we really can not tell when the market have matured to that level where halving is no longer a catalyst for bitcoin to move up in price, maybe the market is matured now, maybe the market is not yet matured but will in the future, no body can really tell, only when the halving comes and goes, what happens will tell if bull runs have moved away from bitcoin halving or not, meanwhile, we should never forget to only invest as much as we can afford to lose, most especially, if you are investing in Altcoins.
I believe what you say will happen at some point. I agree that the block reward halving is being a big catalyst for the price of bitcoin but it is not the main factor. The value of any asset is determined by supply and demand, without demand, even with a limited supply, it becomes useless. So as bitcoin becomes more mature, and less manipulated, the halving will no longer affect or will cease to be what we would expect to trigger a bull market. But for now, we shouldn't deny the important role of the halving. |

Aha, I doubt that. It's India A Emerging vs Ireland, not India vs Ireland so it won't be one-sided series. I'd be very surprised if it's a dud. Well.. you can label the squad as India A or India Emerging, but officially it is the Indian senior team. Jasprit Bumrah got an opportunity to captain the team, with Ruturaj Gaikwad as the deputy. Sanju Samson gets another opportunity despite repeated failures. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma will be hoping to continue with their good form with the bat. So will be Arshdeep Singh and Mukesh Kumar with the ball. India lost against West Indies due to the absence of senior players. But Ireland is so pathetic right now, that they would get defeated even by an Indian U-15 team. Last time these 2 teams played against each other in Ireland. India barely won the 2 match series. 2nd match, in particular, was extremely tight so i won't underestimate Ireland. Back then too India sent an emerging team but they had in-form batters and Hooda played some blinders there. Which senior Windies player was missing? Mayers, Pooran, Powell, Hetmyer, Holder, Alzarri etc all were playing. Unless you looking at the likes of Narine and Russell. Sithara007, I am going to be blunt about the broadcasters, not hyping the Asia cup. Some of them are just straight up, not happy with asia cup even being played in Pakistan. that’s why they are simply not happy about it. As far as India versus Ireland goes, I genuinely do not think that that has any chance to be honest. I have I am not saying that Ireland won’t be able to do anything. Every match in the series is probably not going to be absolutely one-sided. But I genuinely think that Ireland will not be able to even win one match. This is a three match T-20 series. If Ireland can even win one match, it is going to be a big achievement for them to be honest. |

The Caribbean Premier League gets started with the match between Jamaica Tallawahs and St Lucia Kings tomorrow. Some of the overseas players have pulled out from the tournament at the last minute, and that is a dampener (Maheesh Theekshana, Rassie van der Dussen, Rahmanullah Gurbaz.etc). But still they have a good bunch of local T20 stars and some of the top overseas players participating this time (Imad Wasim, Alex Hales, Ambati Rayudu and Faf du Plessis are some of the big names taking part this time). Who is going to win the trophy in 2023? Last time it was Jamaica Tallawahs.
Well, I am someone who believes that the team which is going to be the most consistent is actually going to be able to win the tournament. I don’t believe just because a team has good players in the squad, they are going to win the tournament. Just look at RCB in IPL. They almost always have great players on the team. But never end up winning the trophy. Of course, our team is going to need good players in the squad. They have to perform overall as a team and will be consistent. That is the key. Sometimes I do think that the Caribbean Premier League does not get as much recognition as it should just because the West Indies team is not doing very well in cricket. What Do you guys think? |

Marseille loses and it's already out from UCL. It may not placed in the lower competition than UCL. It surprises me how Marseille was losing against Panathinaikos. Marseille's keeper was so bad. This guy was always lack of predicting the movement from the ball even earliest. Panathinaikos's goal keeper far better compared with Marseille. It seems the club needs to buy a new goal keeper that has a good instinct in anticipating penalty.
Congratulation for panathinaikos. It's qualified for UCL playoff against braga soon. It surprises me how panathi was able making the situation to be draw. Aubameyang must be facing the loses which is bad for him.
Many people were surprised too.
Of course, it was a surprise because the equalizer goal happen in the final minutes of the match, and this is a painful defeat because Marseille was only minutes from reaching the playoff round but all broke when Panathinaikos well to executed the penalty reward and two goals from Aubmeyang looked to be in vain, especially in the end Marseille lost in the penalty shootout after the aggregate goals remained the same 2-2, penalty shootouts are very difficult to predict, strong teams sometimes find it difficult to win either because of their kicker or also their goalkeeper who has difficulty dealing with pressure in one-on-one games, being the home team still put strong pressure on the Marseille players especially during penalty shootouts and that made them fail. Since Marseille could not win the away match, it was difficult for them to qualify for the next round, winning the home match by a big margin. Marseille lost the away match 1-0. So they needed a 2-0 win in today's match. The performance of Marseille players was excellent throughout the match. They dominated the match. But they were a bit unlucky. 90+9 minutes Panathinaikos scored from a penalty chance. And Matcity goes to a penalty shootout. Marseille's players never let me down. Their performance was very good. aubameyang played brilliantly and managed to score two goals in the first half. Marseille has the ability to win the champions league. And I believe we will see this team in the Champions League. |

Barcelona could not get full points in the first match. The match was a goalless draw. I think many gamblers lost their money in this match. Because no one thought that the Barcelona team would fail to win against a team like Getafe in the first match of the season.
Barcelona kept their match strategy unchanged from last season. They wanted to control the match by possession of the ball. And in this match, Barcelona have 75% of the ball possession. However, after Raphinha received a red card in the first half of the match, Barcelona's attacking performance was a bit slow. This is why Barcelona can't score any goals. Getafe also played completely defensively in this match. Barcelona made several attacks but failed to score.
Just like mourinho once said, they can have the ball and even take it home, what matters is the three points. Barcelona started with something that didn't look that great at this time around, I believe that they are definitely upset about this result, and considering la liga is top 2 heavy (and ATM is good too so it's like top 2.5) I would guess that Barcelona needs to win as many of these games as they can. The start is fine, this is the first game and it's fine but they need to be a lot better on the long run and not lose points in games like these if they are aiming to be the champions. This is why I think it's quite important to focus on how they could make as much of a big difference as they possibly could to get these wins. Barcelona definitely had a lot of chances to go ahead in this match and break the deadlock. The finishing from Barcelona was really bad. Of course, the opposing goalkeeper was good at making so many saves in this match. But I still think that Barcelona head just too many chances to not break the deadlock. Of course, I also agree that as the defending champion, they should get three points from these matters. I think as it is the start of the season, we are still going to take a little time to actually be consistent. But in my opinion, this is two valuable points thrown away by Barcelona. |

Caicedo is a good player, but he is overpriced, and I am not too concerned about this transfer. Many Chelsea fans and people who have been monitoring this transfer have over-hyped him a lot because of the price tag on him. The price of a player does not always reflect the value a player can provide to a club that wants him. Some cheaper players from smaller leagues have played better than their price tags, while some expensive players have become wasted money for clubs that signed them based on the performance they had in their last season. Caceido can just end up being just like other Chelsea players, with mid-performance and no good reflection of what was paid for him.
I usually don’t get myself concerned with people that say he is not worth that much, all i tell them is to go back and watch his clips and also wait until he plays so they can decide if is worth the price. If Declan Rice is worth 100m then I don’t see a reason why he should not worth even more because Rice doesn’t have his work rate, for a DM you are expected to be rugged and be able to win balls and that’s one of his special abilities and for Chelsea fans they see him as Kante’s replacement so he is worth the hype for them. I have believe in Caicedo that he would be the perfect replacement for Ngolo Kante and also a good partner for Enzo Fernandez. I don’t know man. I still think that it was a lot of money. Probably not too much money because almost everyone with a little bit of potential is 100 million right now. So in that sense, it is probably not that bad. But I think all that money is going to be worth spending if he does perform well with the team. I don’t think any club regrets their decision on spending money when the player that they bring in actually performs. Moreover, it is imperative to note that equating this individual with Kante, from the perspective of Chelsea fans, does not imply that exorbitant sums must similarly be disbursed for each subsequent player. I am not trying to disrespect any player or the decision of any club. I am just saying that probably they could have brought him in for less money. |
