Lots of countries still experience the effects of colonialism. Especially those who never gotten out of poverty even after their independence and became third world countries. It is not unusual in third world countries to have colonization mindset where they think everything is better outside of the country. I feel sad especially when you know just how rich and diverse your culture is and how there are so many ways to make a living out of them but instead we are pleading at the same countries who had colonized us. I wish better for countries like these.
Unfortunately, I belong to a country where there is everything and we can do everything but we are still dependent on others because our government thinks other countries are better than us, and this mentality has made us have less value. It's not the fault of the citizens but the government, if the government starts giving their people better facilities, believes in them and gives them confidence that they can take their country ahead because if other countries can do something, why can't we do it? Then I think the people would contribute or stand with the government.

To have a country prosper or have everything within the country instead of being dependent on other countries for every single thing, the government has to play a vital role and the people will put in their efforts as well.

Napoli this season they tend to lose a lot of points when they play at home. As far as I remember, Napoli has suffered many defeats at home and in today's match where Napoli is also playing at home, but the temporary score is where Atalanta leading 0-2. There is still time left but I doubt Napoli can turn things around in this match. If you look at the line-up, of course Napoli played with their core squad but they were not very strong in today's match.

These two teams, between Atalanta and Napoli, are quite close in the standings, but in today's match Napoli looked quite weak even though they were playing in front of their supporters. So, if Napoli fail again today, I think they will lose hope of reaching the top 4.
It is indeed difficult for Napoli to hope for the top four in the standings this season because Atalanta and Roma have both made a fairly good point gap with Napoli. Not to mention that Bologna continues to maintain its current position in the top four of the standings, so there will not be an easy opportunity for Napoli to hope for a top four position if they still lose at home as happened in today's match. It seems like there are many things that need to be improved by Napoli so that they don't continue to experience bad luck like today.
Before this international break they were on recovery and things were also going into their favor, but this defeat is surely going to have huge impact on their future, and now I have to accept they are down and out of the race for the top five with very few chances as they will touch no 6 spot because they are having few challenging matches which are going to make problems for them in future and their spot is going to be down as well.

This win is good for the Atlanta which is now going to stay at the sixth spot for few weeks and if they are able to have some improvement then surely we can expect them for having some fight for the fifth or fourth spot with Bologna and Roma which are on good run for the last few weeks and have strong hold on their spots with their good performance.

The match between PSG and Barcelona will be one sure going the way of psg because at the moment they’ve the better advantage as compared to this Barca side. Yes you might want to sing praises of Xavi but I’m sure he knows his fate already as Mbappe’s pace is going to be one big trouble for him and his defense line.
It definitely won't be an easy game for Barcelona to face PSG though, but sometimes what matters when it comes to Champions League game is the teams' experience in competition, which Barcelona got, Barcelona may not have the quality of players to match with their opponent team PSG, But the players in there could use experience to get a better result out of the game, I still don't think it gonna be an easy game on the side PSG as you may have thought, there's still a possibility that Barcelona could win in this game regardless.
Both teams are currently on same level with Barcelona is having decline due to lack of quality players and internal issues are giving them big setbacks and PSG is having good time as they are improving their quality and their player's depth is also good due to good work by Luis Enrique which is doing good work for the improvement of players quality and confidence level which is important for the top events.

Barcelona it surely needs some good work from their experienced players which are doing good but still having issues with their quality is not as we have in past but still they were able to bring down Napoli and now their chances are good for the having spot into last four which could be surely bonus for them in these conditions.

Many people are interested in trading because they see people sharing the profits and success of trading. and it looks very easy for beginners to earn huge profits in a short time.
without skills and knowledge, beginners will just waste their money. There are even beginners who seek the services of traders to entrust their money for trading. it's because they realize not have so much skill. others might just go looking for a free signal channel and follow it.
this has to stop. every beginner who wants to trade must learn many things first so that they don't regret it.
Even if they don't see those success stories, they will still know what trading means and by there they will have an idea that it can create a potential to earn. Meanwhile, those success stories that we see on the net are mostly false and as we see, they often have brands being promoted at their videos. They are only made to lure people on using their/those platforms. This is why as a newbie, they are advised to not listen to those and the influencers but they can avoid it easily if they will start learning on their own first. There are still legit copy trading services but losing is still possible there and the only negative thing about them is that we may not learn on them.

There is still a possibility for Juventus to win because I am sure Juventus will maintain its position in the top three of the standings, Lazip will probably allow Juventus to win easily because this season's matches will also finish quickly. I prefer to put everything into Juventus and fully support Juventus.
Juventus is better than Lazio at the moment, but because Juventus seems to have experienced many problems in the last few matches, there are still doubts that Juventus, as the away team, will easily beat Lazio.
In their last few meetings, Juventus also had difficulty beating Lazio when Juve was the away team.

Lazio will try to get points in this home match because they can still get a ticket in the conference league competition next season if they can improve their position because their points are only a few points from Napoli the team is currently in seventh place in the standings.
If we check last 10 matches performance then both teams are at the same level with have 13 points each and their goal difference is also not significant which mean things can go either way even I have personal feeling Lazio can take good advantage of the home conditions which will be good for them and with this win they can boost their chances for the better spot and Juventus is surely having not good time because if they want to have better end of this season they need to improve their performance now in last rounds they are going to face top teams from the league which are surely not going to give any chance to them for having better results, so things could be challenging and this all need improvement of performance.
In next few days we have three matches between Lazio and Juventus with two are going to play at the Stadio Olimpico Rome and one at the Allianz Stadium Turin this is going to be interesting for both sides.
146  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does number of traders affect volatility? on: March 28, 2024, 05:49:23 PM
The number of traders is increasing more than before as more people are generally becoming more interested in ways to become more financially independent and as thus in search of skills like trading.
Does the number of traders directly affect the volatility of the market? If it does, can we assume that trading was easier before with less traders (less volatility) than now when there are more traders, and the market more volatile?
As the market buy/sell demand increases, that certainly affects the volatility of the market price. Less volatility means less activities in the market. That is why we couldn't make ourselves confident of our strategies that worked in the past as someday this is not effective anymore. Traders make the market more volatile. However, we can say it has a negative impact on the market making it too risky, and should look more into market analysis. But on the other side, this will also help us active traders to possibly earn more every day.
Volatility rates can also depend on the coin. No matter what, an increase in demand or volatility will always be a good thing. We only need to learn on how to adapt it if we are not yet used to it. Confidence whenever making a decisions must still be there and how do we know that our past strategies will not work anymore if we don't try them?

We need to erase the negative thoughts that forming on our minds, as that can only limit us from doing what we like to do and prevents us from being successful. If not and we fail, that is fine as well, but apart from traders, the investors and those who buy a coin for different purposes, they are also a contributing factor to the intensity of volatility.

What the heck did SRH players eat? They are absolutely demolishing MI at the moment and it looks like they might end up scoring 230+ at the speed at which they are going. Bumrah is the only one bowling well.

MI don't look like they might even qualify for the playoffs even though it's way too early while SRH have improved a lot in the batting and fielding departments.
This is ridiculous from the SRH batting I was not expecting batting and aggression like this all batters are doing really amazing stuff and there is no respect for the Mumbai Indian bowling attack which is having world-class bowlers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma hit quick fifties which allowed their team to pass 215 in just 16 overs right now we have Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen these both are having good run and as things are going to look like we are going to have 300+ this match which could be huge for the Mumbai Indians batting which is already suffered in first game against Gujarat Titans and with this performance look like they are going to have bad start of this season under new captain Hardick Pandya.
148  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Should trades be closed only when the market is bullish? on: March 27, 2024, 08:36:59 AM
A tendency arises among us. When the value of Bitcoin increases a lot, we start trading more. Which puts our trade management in jeopardy, during which most of the time people face loss.
Trading is something that can't be done without enough knowledge and one can't expect to start trading and earning profits without even analysing the market and possible opportunities no matter what market conditions are.

Let me give you an example. Every cryptocurrency has one up point and one down point, and if you understand that coin very well, you will know when it is time to buy and when it is time to sell, so whether it's a bull market or bear market, you can keep trading. If Bitcoin is at $61k, this can be a buying point, and once it reaches $70k, that will be a selling point for a trader taking a small percentage of profit.

So, people mostly face losses because of them having no knowledge about the market.

I know many people have sold their BTC in this bull run that just happened in this month of march but there are still some hodlers who are hodling their BTC because, they believe that the massive bull run will surely happen before the end of this year 2024.
The bull run doesn't necessarily have to be in 2024, we should expect that to happen somewhere within the 2024-2025 range because a bull run generally stays for about 2 years and then the market starts declining from there and a new cycle begins with a new bear market and an anticipated bull run to be followed by it.

And you are right, a lot of people must have already taken profit when the price of Bitcoin reached $73k, and most of those people must be those who bought Bitcoin at the previous bull run when Bitcoin reached $69k and then crashed from there. They have waited enough and probably couldn't wait longer than that.

I can’t argue that the match with Arsenal against Porto was a really tough match, but I think that is how that match should be because the first leg was in Porto House, so Arsenal played an away match, and it is not a new thing that a team is strong in their home, but we all see how it turns out for them in the second leg.

Arsenal has been playing very well this season and I was surprised that they lost against Porto in the first leg of the round of 16 but it was a well deserved victory that arsenal got to move on to the next round. it's unlucky that they will have to play Bayern Munich for the quarter finals. Arsenal is playing very well but Bayern Munich is going to win them. Arsenal has an advantage as they'll playing at home first therefore they should use that and win the game with a high number of goals because Bayern Munich are goal machine and they won't be shy to score you a lot of goals. This match is going to be a good match to watch because Arsenal has alot of things to proven in this game to show everybody's that they have what it takes to becomes the champion of Europe.
Arsenal progress in this season is impressive with they are learning from their mistakes and things are going into their way for the having better results even they lost in first leg against Porto due to their overconfidence strategy, but they were good in second leg and have win which give them spot into quarterfinal after years now they are doing their best for having spot into last four but for this Bayern Munich is standing between them and their chances for the last four and it's surely going to be challenging for them to win against them Harry Kane is also looking for his first trophy after move to Bayern Munich but can they beat Arsenal and have spot into last four, or they have to wait for the another season it's going to be interesting because we are surely going to watch one of the best games between two top teams of the UEFA top leagues.

Stay enthusiastic about finding the best solution, make peace with the situation and continue to hone skills that can help provide additional income. If conditions get worse, there's no harm in migrating to look for work outside the area where you currently live. It is difficult to save money or spend when the income we have is far from sufficient, at some point we have to take a step forward to look for better job opportunities. Surviving in conditions of economic pressure that is completely inadequate is indeed very difficult, especially if we have responsibilities towards children and wife.

On the other hand, as head of the family we must provide an understanding of work conditions and income to our wife, that way you can get support to continue trying to improve the family economic situation. Apart from that, by giving them understanding, the pressure they and you feel will be reduced because has understand each other. That is my assumption, I realize that not everything may be relevant to what you feel.
Inflation has become a problem for the whole world, no doubt, but as they always say, when you are faced with certain situations in your life, you learn to face them no matter what. It is difficult to manage your household expenses, pay rent and bills, and take good care of your family if you don't have a high income, but I agree that if you discuss these things with your family, especially your partner, that can ease the pressure to a great extent.

You might not be living an ideal life if you have a small budget, but if you have the support of your family and if they are always backing you up in tough situations, you will have the courage to fight the hardships and feel less pressurized until the hardships are gone.
152  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Take Profits! Its important! on: March 25, 2024, 07:18:22 PM
Greed has no room in trading. If you trade just because you aim to be instantly rich, that will definitely hard to be realized if you don’t know when to take profits even the smaller portion. Note that profits should not always be huge for you to start taking it, regardless of its amount, you should learn to be satisfied at some point and take it, otherwise you will end up losing all your patience while waiting for massive profits, and yet the market still end up dumping. And now you end up regretting wishing you were never greedy in the first place.
That's true, and one should never wait too long if they are not sure about a cryptocurrency they have bought, one should always start low and then keep increasing their budget on such cryptocurrencies they are trading. If we become greedy from the start, we won't even be able to get a small amount of profit but will lose money instead.

The most important thing is knowledge, and one shouldn't trade cryptocurrencies that they don't have any knowledge about. A lot of new traders make the same mistake, they start trading certain cryptocurrencies without having any knowledge about them and their movements, and eventually, they lose money out of their invested capital in those cryptocurrencies.

is it true that airdrops are still profitable this year? I last played airdrop almost 7 years ago. and indeed some can provide quite good income, although some are rubbish and worthless. after a lot of trash coins from airdrop I decided to stop from there. So I don't understand if airdrops can still produce results at this time
Airdrops that are trending nowadays aren't like traditional airdrops where you do a bunch of tasks and get a bunch of tokens for free for doing that, those are now limited, and can barely find that kind of airdrops and even if you do, they are not profitable anymore. And airdrops of the current era require you to spend money by participating in the network, making transactions, using dexes and other apps built on their ecosystem, etc.

It depends on one's luck, because first, you need to qualify for the airdrop, and then the token being airdropped should have a value that should compensate you for the fees you had spent and give you some profit on top of it, otherwise, you have just wasted your time and money.

Buying a Coin to HODL and Putting it in a DeFi Program is a Good way to Invest.
Not really, I don't recommend anyone doing that because when you stake your assets, you lock them up for a certain amount of time and you can't withdraw them before that, maybe there are options to withdraw your staked assets but then they wouldn't give you the accrued commission which makes it pointless in case you need to withdraw and sell your assets when its price goes up.

It's good if you are choosing a plan that wouldn't keep your assets locked up for a very long time and you can see that you are getting good returns on that package. Besides, one needs to make sure that they are staking their assets in a platform that is completely trusted because there are a lot of scams around the industry these days.

You don't have to use your "main accounts", you need to separate your main accounts for your personal need and secondary accounts for business. So, you don't have to worry your employer and your colleagues disturb your privacy.

If you think it's not enough (because you didn't want your activity gets tracked by CCTV), you sue the company if you can find the laws in your country if it's forbidden to completely track the employees' activities.
I even think that the company will provide as an account for use. If not and they decide us to create one, then maybe this is where some employees use their personal accounts, only to get started immediately.

As long as they don't use it in more important things and then the company or our co-workers don't mess with it, we can be just fine. It's normal for a company to put a CCTV in order to track their employee's activities, so why will we sue them? That's funny. We can only waste our time and money for this, plus we will be in an awkward situation. If someone wants more privacy, then they better apply in a work-from-home jobs.
156  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not a quick rich and get poorer investment. on: March 24, 2024, 06:16:54 PM
Those who don't understand well about investing in crypto will of course very easily experience losses in the investments they make and they don't use any strategy in collecting Bitcoin because according to them, by having a certain amount of Bitcoin they will be able to easily achieve financial freedom and that all they get is the loss of what they do.

I don't think there's anything wrong if someone buys Bitcoin when the price is increasing, but they have to be able to hold it until the price becomes higher in order to get a profit from the investment they made, so it's important for us to hold Bitcoin using funds that we won't disturb so that can carry out investments until we reach the profit targets we have set.
Cryptos are I think not too hard to understand, especially the established ones and also if you don't go too deep on their technical side. Same goes with the principles of investing. If only they prioritized this first, those people will reduce their chances of losing but unfortunately they didn't, I think this is because they think of the opposite of what I said first. They did not know that going for an easy way is actually the ones that will lead you in danger. Collecting Bitcoins can be done in any method we like but what important is if how we secure them. If we don't plan of using it it like an asset for investing, then we already achieved financial freedom.
157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risking 1% in Gambling on: March 24, 2024, 02:48:23 PM
Yes, the 1% Risking strategy is suitable for high-risk types of businesses or games. Some people will accept a higher level of risk, but I think 1% is quite suitable to help us more easily manage our accounts. It helps us minimize risks to the lowest level, and does not affect our total capital, thereby making our playing psychology more comfortable.
However, it must be added that this is just a tool to help manage risk in gambling, we need to combine it with knowledge, skills and analysis to achieve the best possible results.
Knowledge, skills, and analysis? Are you talking about gambling games or sports betting? In gambling games, nothing other than luck is required apart from a few games where you might need to have some skills such as Poker, but all other gambling games would require you to be lucky and that is enough for you to win.

When we talk about sports betting, that is where you need knowledge, a lot of it, and skills, and it is icing on the cake if you have experience as well because you can use your knowledge and experience to make the best bets so that you can win most of the bets that you make.

Can someone decode this website. They claimed that they barely got passed to trade in the market on dec 2023.
They keep releasing these ICOs. Not sure if they call it that because it’s the first time they’re trading this coin on the website. I guys told me before that ICOs are long gone so I’m wondering why I’m seeing this. THANK U IN ADVANCE.
ICOs were a trend a few years back and then that trend faded away because a lot of ICOs started scamming their investors and then authorities such as the SEC started not allowing them because they lure in investors and then run away with their money. So basically, ICOs are long gone but it doesn't mean there are no ICOs available, some projects still come up with their ICOs, and some people invest in them but most people don't trust ICOs anymore.

Projects, especially good ones, these days are launched using launchpads in reputable centralized exchanges such as Binance because people trust launches like that these days, and project creators also understand this now. So ICOs are considered, mostly, scams because of this.

A person has complete personal freedom when to invest in Bitcoin. You can give good advice in detail if you want but you can't impose your decision on others And holders or traders when to invest or trade bitcoins depends on their own knowledge.  And when Bitcoin dumps, most investors are definitely investing in Bitcoin And none of us can accurately assess the value of the Bitcoin market. Because most of us don't know what price Bitcoin is going to reach in the future. So all things considered we have to invest or trade based on a lot of assumptions.
Maybe not on assumptions, but most of us trade based on our own understanding, because not everyone can have the same level of knowledge and expertise about certain things, you might have a different understanding and more or less knowledge than I do, but both of us will make our decisions by the end of the day and those decisions will be based on our level of understanding and how much research and analysis we can do.

So, it's important for every trader and investor to have as much knowledge as possible so that they can assess the situations and make the right decisions at the right time, if you lack knowledge and understanding, you will struggle in making the right decisions.

IPL 2024's opening game, The traveling team RCB made a defendable score of 173 against Chennai super kings. Royal Challengers Bengaluru, winning the toss, elected to bat first. They had a hiccup losing both Rajat Patidar and Glenn Maxwell on duck but all of other players performed with an overall good run rate. Individually good wickets for Mustafizur Rahman but he was expensive. And Chennai bowlers delivered 10 wides which is something they need to improve.
The game is still on and Chennai have an equal chance of wining it. They know the target, they have a good batting lineup, now all they need is not to give away easy wickets.
After conceding 173 runs now we have Chennai on batting with after 11 overs we have very good figures for them even Bengaluru are also trying their best for having something good in their first game of the season because their women's team already won their first title, but they fail to end their deadlock in 2 decades. Bengaluru having total 6 sixes into their inning, and we have 7 from Chennai in their 11 overs currently situation is very interesting with after losing their top three batsmen Chennai having 102 runs and now requirement is 72 runs from the 9 overs Daryl Mitchell and Shivam Dube on crease for the Chennai hopefully they will do this all quickly, and we will have good start for this last season of the legendary MS Dhoni who already give captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad before start of this match.
