1361  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mining Machine that makes Bitcoin while you sleep??? on: November 24, 2022, 08:20:06 PM
There is a misunderstanding and misinformation here, you can't earn Bitcoin for free and there is nothing like free bitcoin mining this kind of mindset is what has lured many newbies into believing that cloud mining is real.

To mine bitcoin one need a very expensive computer device and software e.g Asic and the rest are the most popular manufacturer of Bitcoin mining equipment, and also bitcoin mining requires a lot of electricity to keep the device running and that also costs money.

So Bitcoin mining is far from being a free activity even bitcoin halving only rewards those miners that mind the rewarded block, not every jack and harry.
Of course you can still earn bitcoin for free. What about sites like freebitco? Or any other btc faucets. If there is something wrong of what he said I think that is when he said that halving gives away free btc to the miners. I don't think halving works that way but halving are in fact lessening the reward the miners are getting.

Miners are not getting free btc but they work hard for it and they use a good amount of money to buy a miner and pay for the electric bills. As for the cloud mining, I think this thing did actually exist for real back in the early days of btc or when btc mining is still not difficult but now most of them are just a scam so we must avoid them at all cost.

The Serbian team is far behind the Brazilian team. I believe Brazil can beat Serbia easily. Because Brazil's attack is very good, and all the players from their midfielders to the defense are very good. It is almost impossible for Serbia to beat Brazil.
It can be said that impossible things are becoming possible in this World Cup. None of us could have imagined Argentina's defeat to Saudi Arabia. Who would have thought that after Germany scored a goal in the first half and then in the second half they would lose that match? These things seem miraculous to many but these are true. I wouldn't be terrified if that happened on Brazil's side. But I also believe the quality of Brazil's game is better then others. They may be able to defeat Serbia easily.
Here you have to change your words because I have been feeling these are not impossible but surely shocking because right now Argentina is 3rd in FIFA ranking and Saudi Arab is at 52, so we can imagine how things are changing and if big teams feeling or having underrated these teams then certainly it's going to be bad for them even worst for them because here in this event all are here for win this title, and they can do anything for having better results so Saudi Arab done this after them Japan which is also not good done another shock with beating Germany here one thing were similar in both matches losers take early lead and then lost match which is surely another twist for many now we have Brazil vs Serbia which is surely going to be another entertaining encounter.

Portugal vs Ghana match will also be competitive. I think this match will also be a draw. Portugal's team has star players like Ronaldo and Bruno. Even so, the Ghana team cannot be called weak. They are also capable of performing well. However, the match is going to be held shortly. Let us enjoy the match.

Portugal has dominated the match thus far, with Ronaldo scoring a disallowed goal. With Portugal's tenacity and pressure on Ghana, I still believe Portugal will win the match and lead the group following their round one game. Ghana is hardly a weak squad, but they are no match for Portugal so far in the game. Ghana may need to modify their playing style in order to win this game.
Right now, we are in 90th minute of this game as Portugal is leading by 3 - 1 what an amazing end of this game as Ghana were doing good defence and not allowing Portuguese players for having any threat to them but suddenly change of Leao R bring good change of fortune for them two beautiful goals from them which is surely amazing end of first match in group stage while we have few big upsets and bore games in last few matches.

Here Portuguese still need to do good work because with this current way of play they can't do good for having spot into last four.

Edit: 90 minute another goal from Ghana bringing some more twist in this game, let's watch how things gone in last few minutes.

The real investors never let go any chances and they buy when dip is enough instead of waiting to be told or seeking from someone to let them buy. It's very risky for project to dip drastically instead waiting for those coin you wishes and unlike well known currencies such BTC, ETH, BNB, Matic.
These are currencies that can never dropped drastically with or without regaining it's lost.
Of course no one denied that invest in top altcoins like BTC, ETH, Matic, BNB can recover your lost. Real investors never miss the dump of these altcoins and also waiting for a pump. Invest in these altcoins and hold for a long time you will definitely get a good profit.
That is because those coins already gain the trust of the masses so it is now hard for those coins to collapse. This is why those coins are recommended at all times especially now that their prices are declining because we can buy more of them than usual.

Sometimes there are still people who loses their money despite of having these coins already but obviously, that was already their fault. They can feel uneasy when there is a negative news like on what happened last time. For us to recover our lost and profit from these top coins, we should know how to handle our emotions properly so that we can calmly hodl for a very long time.
1365  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Binance Coin losing its Value, What will happen to Public Funds on: November 23, 2022, 08:25:24 PM
I think CZ is way better than SBF especially on handling financial aspects on their respective exchange platform and too much greed of SBF it cost him his fortune. While CZ will have it's own criteria on how to handles such big company like Binance and I don't think BNB will losses its value because its one of the biggest blockchain ecosystem in the market and in fact CZ has more fund reserves to back up when everything goes sideways.
For now, yes; we think he is better because binance and its coin are still in good condition. I remember people are so proud of sbf before because he is one of the youngest billionaire but look at him now, everyone hates him. It shows that is easy for the people to switch sides once trust is broken. If happens that cz made a wrong move and affected the company as a whole, the same thing can also happen.

For now, binance coin might be losing its value, that is due to the impact caused by negative events last time but if let say it collapsed for real. Of course, those who invest on it are going to lose and again it can cause a bad impact to other coins but it is not the end for the whole crypto.
1366  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you agree that an employer should hire employees who are smarter than him? on: November 23, 2022, 08:01:12 PM
In response to the title, of course
But it needs to be seen from various things. Employers do not mean stupid at all, on the contrary there are various structures and parts of the company that require specific expertise, even say at the SME level. In this case one company cannot be run by one person alone, so the theft of ideas is not the main concern of an employer.
I think it will also depend on the employer. There are people who wants to be superior more than the other so they will only hire normal people. It also will depend on the scope of the job. If the work is too basic like construction, then why will someone bother about the intellect of the person?

Construction jobs do also have a contractor, engineer, foreman or whatever you called it. They are the ones that will command if what will be the workers are doing. A smart employee can use his talent to take advantage of the company while his/her boss don't have an idea if what s going on. This happens but like you said, it will be avoided if there are different workers in the field.

One of the biggest effects that is overlooked is going to be probably on Ukraine since their corrupt government has had investments in FTX and they were even laundering a large amount of donated money through this exchange turning a large part of it to bitcoin to store in their private offline wallets for the future.
Excellent example of spreading Russian misinformation. And always without proving anything. At this point you should understand that Russia would use any opportunity to hurt the stability of the west. Even the FTX case. You are playing for Putin's by spreading misinformation. This is the literal FUD on politics. Stay with the facts on FTX, do not insert war propaganda into this.
What we only knew is that SBF is playing with the people's money but I think one of it is by donating to some government because there's also reports last time where the FTX got hacked and then the money was transferred to the Bahamas government. I think he did that because he want a protection but it is still inappropriate because that was not his money at the first place but it was from the poor people who trusted his company.

The government that are involved here will also be in big trouble because they are accepting bribes from this guy. I think there are more revelations that we will witness in the coming days. This is exciting.
1368  Economy / Speculation / Re: Hacker of FTX dumping ETH for BTC on: November 22, 2022, 08:34:52 PM
So it looks like they sent 15000 ETH each to 12 different addresses. Most likely they will dump those. However they can’t on ren anymore because they stopped the minting process. So they will need to find another cross chain way.

Whenever these coins move there is volatility in the markets. Creating a lot of fear. Like I said before. Most likely they are taking trades on these movements and that’s how they plan on profiting. Not cashing out which is risky.
This is an unsual way of hacking. Normally hackers will just sell right after they got the coins but the one we have here looks like they want to manipulate some shitcoins first and took extra profit out it before they finally finish the act. It's not only fear they are creating but they also want to make people greedy but people must be wiser this time to not support this act. Not only it is risky but the funds that are involved here are from those who invest on FTX.

I don't think what happens there is just a normal hack but SBF must be involved with it. There's even a news last time where bahamas govt ordered SBF to hack FTX and transfer the funds to them.

Australia's two openers were in good batting form in the 3rd ODI match. Looking at the performance of the Australian team players, it looked like Australia could make 300.  Unfortunately rain interrupted the game. Even if today's match is stopped due to rain or Australia team loses the match. Australia will win the ODI series. Because won the previous two matches in Australia. Australia secured the series win by winning the previous two matches. Rain is likely to stop shortly. Let's see how the game turns after the rain
In this useless series today we are in last match with first two won by Australia and there were expectations England will do some improvement but in last ODI Australian opening players completely ruin their day and world cup glory by smashing 270 runs in just 38 overs with the help of centuries by Warner and Head both ended their innings on score of 106 and 152 after the departure of openers England bowling lineup have some relief with now after end of 48 over innings break we have 355 for 5 which is surely huge target for England which is already out of touch in first two ODI's Olly Stone is pick of the bowlers as he takes 4/85 now just after few minutes England is coming to chase this lets watch how they respond.
1370  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How important are exchanges? on: November 21, 2022, 08:38:40 PM
Oh, when we talk about audits of some companies I always remember Bernard Madoff's story: I'm sure that for years of his Ponzi scheme there were multiple audits of his company! It looked really safe. But now we know that it was never safe and if was fraud for tens of years!

Even if an exchange looks really safe remember that you risk your money, your own money trusting a third party when you can just keep money at a personal non custodial wallet. Everyone weighs their own risks, but IMO they should keep in mind that there is nothing safe for 100%.
Absolutely true, each person must bear responsibility for their money on their own. I spoke with several people to understand why it is so important for them to save coins on the exchange, the answers were amazing. Someone really believes that it is safe and in case of theft believes that the exchange will reimburse them for everything, and someone thinks that this is important, otherwise he will not have time to buy or sell coins at the best price if he keeps it in his wallet, very strange decisions.
They better verify if their assumptions are true that the exchange that they use will be responsible for their coins because I know that most of the exchanges don't work like that. The other reason that they said seems legit but again it will still depend on the exchange that they are using if they are insured or not.

It can also depend on the coins that they hold or want to buy. If it was a pump and dump kind of coin, then expect that its movements are fast but if it's a top crypto, then they shouldn't worry because they don't dump in an instant right after they pumped up, so even if they kept their coins in their external wallet they can always catch up.

In preparation for their Test series against England, Pakistan has announced their squad. Sarfaraz Ahmed is expected to return for Pakistan's three-match home Test series beginning on December 1. A big congrats to all the selected players, as it's an overall good selection. I think Shadab should be included in this squad, otherwise it is a great one. After just one bad series, it is unfair to drop Fawad. However, I doubt they will be able to compete with an English team of this quality.
Shadab is still a newborn in the test but at home, he could be a good asset but I am more surprised by the exclusion of Fawad Alam. Pakistani selectors and politics ruined his Test career.

This guy broke all the doors back in 2009 and they neglected him despite the fact that their batting lineup was embarrassing af throughout the last decade.
I am also surprised with this decision because surely he deserves a spot in this team but sadly due to age factor and inner politics in PCS prevented him from his spot into final test squad against England with this team look like England could be favourite and have fair chance to win this series because things are looking not good for them specially after losing against Australia in last series they have to bring players on merit instead of going with personal likes and dislikes which are never been ideal for any team Shaheen is out for long time and Haris Rauf is also not available so with this look like we are going to have spin wickets which will help batting lineup and spinners which is never been entertaining for fans.
1372  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Bitcoin is the only crypto you should BUY on: November 20, 2022, 06:39:40 PM
We are really seeing more and more reason why centralised systems is never an option for the present society because of the high rate at which coins fail due to diverse reasons and not just coins alone but also top exchanges . Bitcoin remains the ultimate choice for the sake of peace, guarantee and long term profit but with Tether anything can happen because its centralised it should be treated the same way altcoins are which is with extreme caution because nothing is safe in a centralised system not even the system itself.
Yes, that's true and thanks to these centralized exchanges and their centralized coins which have collapsed for making people realized that they are unsafe. Bitcoin is a decentralized coin that people should choose however I can't totally agree with you when you say that there is peace in btc because btc's value is highly volatile. Not just tether but anything can also happen with btc.

It's price can go really low or it can go really high that no one can ever imagine. Tether is centralized but lets admit it, it is also useful to prevent our coins from moving due to volatility. Tether is the most riskiest stable coin but there are other stable coins out there like usdc which are more trusted.
1373  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: waiting to buy lower? on: November 19, 2022, 08:46:01 PM
If you have the money, I believe buying now is preferable to waiting for Bitcoin to drop even further. Since we are still experiencing bear, the opportunity is still available, so if you plan to buy, do so right away. People have already missed the chance to buy when it was around 60k, but the same people who complained then are the ones who are not still buying now and are still waiting for it to come down, so I'm confident that many more will still miss this chance.
They are still hoping that they will manage to catch the price in the place but they are not taking any action, once the market start to bounce back they will again regret the oppotunity to store some coins inside their wallet, it's important that you know and understand how you will take your position during this kind of bear market.

Your decision making should always be in your own influence, after you make your research and you do your assessment.
Many have that kind of thinking especially now that there are negative news popping around but the price have in fact fell down these past few days. Remember we are at $20k, $19k last time but we have fallen till $15k and then recovered some ending the price at $16k.

It seems the price is showing a sign of recovery so my advice for those who want to buy, they should buy now because December is approaching and there might be surprises that awaits us. Those who hope and then don't take an action, maybe they are just a bystander here and not a true investor. There are people who are like that and there's also people who got short in money.
1374  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: November 19, 2022, 05:19:02 PM
India is going in with a rather less experienced squad. So obviously the odds are better for New Zealand. I was looking forward to seeing how the less experienced Indian squad plays against the New Zealand team. Now I think it is going to be a very good chance for India to at least not lose this T-20 series.

If they can win only one, it is going to be enough. And on the other hand, it is going to be hard for New Zealand to win the series which they obviously would target to do because this is a great chance for them to beat India, who are not playing with the best 11. The first match is abandoned. Let’s see how the next one goes. 
In t20 good or less experience is okay but still you have to be good day then you can do magics because it's all about fun and your luck which mostly favor braves so for me even New Zealand is playing at home and good side, but they will never underestimate India as they are also involved in IPL and understand how things can change in this way quickly.

With the change of leadership most chances new-look Indian side will be more aggressive and these youths will give their best for keeping their place which is having tough competition due to very long list of available players in IPL and domestic cricket now most chances we will watch good performance from this side which is trying to settle things after the worst exit from World Cup.
1375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: November 18, 2022, 08:59:03 PM
I think there are 2 things at play. Real Madrid lose more points than last year, but you also have Barcelona, who have had a much better start this year than last year. Last year there was actually not a single team that could stay in the area. For a long time only Seville was somewhat close. The fact that they eventually even finished 4th indicates that the championship last year did not pose any threat to Real Madrid. I expect Real Madrid to perform better again. Barcelona have a Frenkie de Jong in top form at the moment and also have the future with their talents. At Real Madrid there is a different kind of team with more experience.
A difference will definitely happen every season and it's happening in the current season especially for Barcelona who are able to display a much better performance than before. Real Madrid is under a very big threat, of course, even now they have to be in 2nd place in the standings, 2 points behind Barcelona, something we didn't see at all last season where Real Madrid could comfortably be at the top of the standings without significant pressure.
In last season Barcelona were the on worst start of the season which give them shocks after shocks, so they were unable to give any challenge but in this season they have done good work before start and having spend good amount for the quality players which bring good change for them even Real Madrid is also on super from but now in last few matches due to injuries they are facing trouble which is surely going to be change after break, and we will be able to have the toughest matches for both teams because now these both will try to keep distance and have their strong grip of title which is surely not easy with most chances no other team in La Liga can compete with their quality and performance.
1376  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you still win with free spins? on: November 18, 2022, 06:23:02 PM
I understand the area of op post. I think also that free spin is difficult for me to win big. Sometime I got free spin to play but I couldn't win after the first fraction of mbtc win. I have some chance to play 3 times and reduced the staking to lower my risk but that didn't safe me after I was happy winning first spin. I think free spin is not always lucky for me.
That is because they are just free spins. Imagine if free spins works like a normal bet that came from our own money where the chances to win are fair, I think many of us will win and casino won't stay for too long because people will just depend on them.

If you win something on your first or second free spin then congrats but you shouldn't expect more. Reducing the money that you stake or bet, is always safer than staking huge money but the only downside is that your winnings will also be smaller. If we want to experience a better win, we also need to deposit on our own because we can last long with it than relying only on a few free spins.
1377  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WOW, WHY AM I SO HAPPY 😍 on: November 18, 2022, 05:52:32 PM
The bull run is here. ALTCOINS are going to blow up soon.. Happy to see some of my alts I bought on FAMEEX are just pumping. Matic and optimism just making me smile this morning
Happiness is a thing of joy, either bear or bull run in the market, someone have to be happy as long you understand the game of cryptocurrency market, which is a game patients and also invest what you can afford to loss. The Bull run your expecting base on the day you make the post has turn to bear market, base on the current price of Matic as you mention from $1.28 - $0.88 and i believed your still happy if you did not sell that period, which is another opportunity to buy more from the dip.
The word joy and happiness are both the same and we crypto people doesn't feel happy when there is a bear market but we are rather sad because our portfolio is declining. What makes us really happy is when there is a bull market because this is the time when we cash out. Investing needs patience and if you lack of it then you can do trading instead as trading requires an active buying and selling.

It seems the OP's prediction is a fail. There is no bull run that came but just another correction or market crash due to the failure of one exchange. Matic is a good coin to have but I don't know about optimism. Not sure if I heard of it before or not, so I'll just skip it for now.
1378  Economy / Speculation / Re: What are the chances of FTX raising funds... on: November 17, 2022, 08:35:53 PM
Chances are slim in my opinion and for me, doesn't make sense for people to bail out SBF, he has caused so much damage for us. The best thing we can do is for him to go in jail and justice should be served for those who lost their money here.

And even in our community here, I will speculate that the consensus will be the majority, let SBF suffer and let this be a lesson for all investors, small or big to really be careful specially altcoin market as the risk is huge.
Such kind of his act is bringing bad name to the cryptocurrency. This should be properly handle to avoid another gambler trading for profit with the customer money. The trust is not there for him again. In cryptocurrency if you betray the people, the community don't give you another chance. Going for bailout or source for money to pay back is not a possible thing, binance deal didn't succeed because of no trust on the huge debt payment.
For those who are not new here, one mistake is already enough for them and they will move on already no matter what conditions they are giving to them by the company who failed them but for those who are new in here and has a lack of experience, maybe they will take the risk because they are still hoping that they can recover what they have lost in FTX.

Remember the luna event last time? They also beg the public to gave them another chance and they create another luna coin but that seem to not go well. Binance won't be successful if they are not wise and smart, and that is why they didn't accept the deal. People should learn from them.

I don't think Mbappe will want to move to Manchester United even if they offer him a huge contract. If we even consider Manchester United's financial strength there is no way possible for United to carry Mbappe's wage load, it is unlikely to happen. They have nothing special to offer, even Ronaldo at the club couldn't get any special treatment talk more of Mbappe.
Mbappe is treated like a king in Paris because of the influence PSG has given him over other players, but Manchester United wouldn't able to make him such an offer. Aside from the fact that Manchester United will not be given top ratings because they are not participating in the UEFA Champions League this season, their chances of qualifying for the Champions League the following season are also uncertain given the way the Premier League is shaping up, and Ten Hag has not yet fully assembled his team.
There is no doubt about this all and this is main cause which is not allowing PSG to win Champions League they need to treat player like a player not like a king or prince because this brings problems in squad and other players feel not good with this treatment which is having for Mbappé in PSG just because of this all his behaviour is also not good, and many players don't like him, but now one thing is sure this is crucial year for them if they are not able to win this Champions League then surely we are going to have few changes in team and other things as well.

As many feeling there is chance for Mbappé to be leave this club PSG for Manchester United most chances this will never happen because right now they have no enough space and things are also not favourable for Mbappé in Manchester United currently just one club can take interest into him but most chances they will also not take any chance because of last year's humiliation Real Madrid.

I don't consider him as a Hero because he was just selling his share and fault in the FTX lead to all this collapse and he also tried to buy it which could have balanced the situation but in the end nothing happened and people lost the money.But if we are calling CZ hero in this case then you are overlooking the scene that he has taken the opportunity to take out his competition from the market.
If he did buy the exchange then many will consider them a hero but that didn't happened for some reasons but it was a good thing because owning FTX will make them a monopoly in the crypto world and something bad will happen later on so we shouldn't feel bad about the crash and another good thing about this is that it helps us buy more coins at a discounted price.

If we only invest in the standard cryptos (not on an exchange token) and we only hodl our crypto in a wallet that we have full control of, we shouldn't worry because the loss that we experience are only temporary as long as we don't sell because standard cryptos can always recover.
