I can see more players being interested in playing for the national team since the funding has literally tripled. I am sure that is going to bring some more players to play for the national team seriously. But I do wonder how much that is going to help because cricket seems to be transitioning towards T20 league and franchise cricket. The only time people are actually interested in international cricket is when big ICC tournaments are going on. It is going to be a really hard environment for the associate teams and the smaller teams to actually improve in cricket.
Ireland has a small base to source their players. The combined population (Republic of Ireland + Northern Ireland) is only around 7 million and popularity of cricket is not that high. Ireland can be compared to New Zealand (population of around 5 million), but then the latter has a cricketing history of more than a hundred years and a well established domestic system. Ireland on the other hand has just 4 first class teams (and out of them Munster Reds don't play 4-day cricket), and the quality of domestic matches are not up to the mark. And unlike the case with New Zealand, Ireland can't bank on imports from South Africa. I bet the situation could have been very different if cricket was actually popular all around Ireland. If the Ireland people were actually interested in cricket I believe Ireland could have looked more like New Zealand. But of course, when the funding is not good enough and cricket is also not very popular there are not going to be many people who will actually want to take up cricket as a profession. Population is not very big, I agree. But that population is certainly big enough to find 11 proper players with good domestic setup. But as we all know that domestic setup is also not good in Ireland. Probably that will be fixed with more money being given by the ICC. ICC and the old guard are doing precisely the opposite and as far as i understand this stance is not going to change anytime soon.
Existing boards are already taking a hit just by hosting test matches but the romanticization of red-ball cricket runs way too deep and it's the worst scenario for associates.
Not sure whether I can agree with that. There used to be a competition called "ICC Intercontinental Cup", where the leading associates used to play 4-day cricket. It was first established in 2004, when ICC was still under Jagmohan Dalmiya. Up to 14 associate nations used to take part in this tournament, before it was scrapped back in 2017 by the Srinivasan/Pawar mafia. For the last 6 years, there have been no attempt from the ICC to get associate nations to play the longer version of the game. They do use this excuse to reduce the funding to these teams. The ICC is not actually very thoughtful about the associate nations. They are actually interested in decreasing the funding of them so that they can actually fund the bigger teams more and more. Basically, they want to fund those teams which are generating more revenue for them. This is absolutely bad practice for the cricket game itself. I am sure that ICC does not give too much importance to the associate nations because they are not very interested in bringing in new teams. Otherwise, cricket would have been very different around the world. |

It is going to be really hard to actually do that. Because we all know that ICC is being run by the big four cricket boards. So, ICC will always think about what is best for the big four. Not what is best for the game. And that's why I don't think the associate countries will actually be able to improve in the game when it comes to long-term improvement.
Tell me how they can improve when most of the money is going to the teams which are already great at the game and also running the show?
Now Associates need to cut their ties with test format because now this is just waste of time for them, we have no bright future for any new country in this format even now we are also having trouble with few countries which are enjoying this format for decades like West Indies, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh and having just six to eight countries which can do something better it's all now waste of time and energy so better thing just go for the white ball and enjoy which is much better and profitable as well. With this all we will surely need to change rules about distribution of funds as well because now they also deserve better funding which will help their domestic set up, and they will be able to bring quality players for their national teams as well even this all is not easy but still possible but for this we need big heart from Big-4 as well. I absolutely agree that associate Nations should not think about test cricket as a format of improving. They should be thinking about improving in the shorter formats of cricket. You know, the T20 format is actually a lot more popular than the other formats of cricket. So I think they should only be thinking about getting better in the T20 format. I also strongly believe that T20 is the only format in which the associate nations will have a slide chance to beat the bigger opponents like the big four. In any other format, they will find it really hard to do. I really do not understand why the test format is still a format. I thought the ICC actually does not get good enough revenue from the test format. |

Miami Heat is leading by three nill right now. It really does not feel like Celtics will actually be able to recover.
Heat just proven that ESPN's analytics is just another analytics but not the actuality of what can happen into the game and match ups. Celtics has already gone even before this game started. It's like more of formality that they'll be seen on the game 4 and they should have just conceded to allow the win to Heat but I don't know if this is allowed as per NBA ruling. I will also say that Miami Heat and Nuggets are going to be the finalists.
You're not the only one that sees that, most of us have it in our minds that these two will be the ones playing the NBA finals. No ypu can't just concede a game and in the world we live in if it was even remotely determined they threw the game it would cause an earthquake in sports. Being down 0-3 is not optimal but why wouldn't you think they wouldn't try. I means it's for the right to go to the finals. I'm throwing money on the Celtics it's tough to get a straight sweep in the playoffs. @livingfree, Actually, I was a little disappointed, to be honest with the performance that the Lakers have shown. At the start, I really did not think that these two are actually going to be the finalist. That's why I am genuinely a little surprised. @wheelz1200, I really don't think it is going to be a good idea. Celtics really look down and out. It is not going to be a good idea to trust them right now. I did not think that Miami Heat is going to have such success. But it seems like I was certainly wrong. |

Why do you blame the coach in this case? Even though in general the PSG team can win the match even if only with two goals from Mbappe. And you also need to know that the two goals that occurred in the first half with a short time difference were thanks to a mature pass from Lionel Messi in the 8th minute and another from Ruiz in the 6th minute of the match. So in this case how can you say that Lionel Messi's performance was mediocre and failed to adapt to PSG?
Looks like you didn't watch the match played by PSG at home to Auxerre. This was proven when you were wrong in saying the final score for their match and also said that Lionel Messi couldn't adapt to the PSG team so you tried to blame the coach in this case. I think that's really strange because in fact Lionel Messi also contributed to the goal scored by Mbappe in the 8th minute. Although I'm not surprised by the result PSG got because PSG was against a weak team in Ligue1.
You are right. That is a very weird and wrong comment. Not only about the score but also adaptation of Messi to PSG and this being due to the coach. I don't think there was no adaptation issues for Messi. PSG's problems lie within the team quality. Offensive power is of course great and mostly effective but I can't say the same things about the midfield and especially defense. Coaching is another issue. Even if they'd bring someone big like Pep, things wouldn't work out perfectly with this roster IMO. Benzema has grown old and completed his mission. Mbappe has to come to Real Madrid, now if we put Julian Alvarez or Osimhen next to him, that will be a legendary team. Messi has been doing his job very reluctantly for the last 2-3 matches. But his head is elsewhere. The team is very selfish, messi can't get the ball where other players should pass it to him. Next season doesn't look bright for PSG. The biggest flaw of PSG was that they did not have a balanced team. The team was full of attacking power. But there is no use in having really good attacking players if the midfield is unable to supply good balls to the attacking players properly. And of course, the defense was really bad. If the team actually work well and the players had good communication with each other I don't think most of them wanted to leave the team. And the success was also going to be a lot more from PSG if they just did not act so selfish on the field. After all, I will say that the biggest problem of PSG was not Messi. |

Let see what will happen in their next game, if Miami will finish it at home or Boston will win and try to extend the games.
In fact, the Heat and Nuggets could already be called the final series participants, as there hasn't been a single time in the history of the NBA when a team recovered from 0-3. So I think it makes sense for the Heat to win the series next game to celebrate the Eastern Conference champion ceremony at their home arena, while it makes sense for the Nuggets to extend it to game 5 to also celebrate the ceremony at their home arena. Miami Heat is leading by three nill right now. It really does not feel like Celtics will actually be able to recover. I will also say that Miami Heat and Nuggets are going to be the finalists. I don't see how it is going to be any different. As you said there has not been once in the history when any team has actually recovered from a 3-0 deficit, I really do not think that history is going to be made. I believe we all know that Miami Heat and Nuggets are going to be the finalist. And that is not going to change in my opinion. |

Banks are earning big profit from our deposits, they earn bigger than the interest that we get from our deposit because they put a bigger interest rate through thier borrower's or lenders, i think bank is not too far from big whales in crypto they buy or collect coins in dip and they sell in bull and they earn bigger from the holders that sell at loss they are almost the same or what? What dou you think?
They are different. Whales are whales and banks are banks, they are two different entities, the only thing they have in common is that they are related to the economy. When the whales move, the crypto economy can be affected, and so can banks, when they go bankrupt or when the central bank raises interest rates it will affect a country's economy and it can also affect the crypto economy. Moreover, whales usually influence the crypto market significantly more than banks which do not, but if the bank becomes a crypto whale it will be a different story. And many other differences and therefore the two entities are different. They are 2 completely different entities or just 1, we have no proof for that. The whales on the market are mostly also anonymous, and we don't know who they are. I also used to have an idle thought that it could be whales, sharks in the market, it could be the government, the bank... anyone. Because the common need of people is to need money, and they like us, will not be stupid to give up the opportunity to make easy money. Don't believe what we're seeing, banks openly hate bitcoin, but that doesn't mean they don't invest in bitcoin because bitcoin is anonymous. Everything is possible. |

From what I understand, OP is saying that real estate prices are also falling according to the economic situation, and rich people are also afraid to invest because it doesn't generate profit. The real estate market also became gloomy, not better than other markets. But it is still considered the safest asset, and the fact that it drops in price is a good investment choice. The demand for real estate will never go away or decrease over time, look at how fast the world population grows, and you will see the potential of real estate.
Now the general economic and financial crisis continues. It affected almost all countries after unprecedented measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic, ongoing wars, especially that Russia unleashed in the center of Europe by invading Ukraine, as well as climate change, which primarily negatively affects agriculture. During this period, keeping funds in fiat or in banks at interest is inefficient. A much better solution has always been an investment in real estate, eternal values, antiques. And now we have a great solution with investments in the best cryptocurrencies. But in cryptocurrency, you cannot count on quick profits. I don't want to offend, but I think the people who say real estate has no potential are the ones who don't have enough money to invest in it. The demand for gold and bitcoin may disappear if we find a metal more precious than gold or a new technology better than bitcoin, but real estate will always be in demand because everyone needs a place to live. In summary, with the economy in recession, and currency depreciating, we should stay away from fiat money altogether and allocate our money to deflationary assets like gold, bitcoin is a perfect choice. |

There is no doubt about this now cricket is taking transitioning which is surely going to have big impact on this format test with many legendary former players are also feeling not good because they are saying we need to increase fees of test players for competing with this T20i transitioning which is surely not easy because right now no one thinking about this and have no courage to work with bold decisions which help this format and cricket. For this all we need all boards sit and have positive mindset which helps this franchise revolution and also encouragement for the test format as well this all needs huge funding to domestic setup and also teams with national color if they are not able to have any positive solution then surely we will have mess up which will create more problems. It is going to be really hard to actually do that. Because we all know that ICC is being run by the big four cricket boards. So, ICC will always think about what is best for the big four. Not what is best for the game. And that's why I don't think the associate countries will actually be able to improve in the game when it comes to long-term improvement.

Zimbabwe S vs Pakistan S
Today is the 3rd unofficial ODI between these two teams. If we take a look of the previous two matches. So we will see that the Zimbabwe team is looking more strong as compare to the Pakistan team. In the first match Zimbabwe made 234 runs but Pakistan team got out on 210 runs. In the second ODI Zimbabwe made 236 runs but Pakistan's performance was really bad and it made only 156 runs.
Today Zimbabwe is also looking strong. Let see what will happen?
Zimbabwe has already one the series! Relax it is an unofficial match therefore it wont affect the stats. Looking at the present scenario this Pakistan team lacks good talents otherwise they won't have lost so badly in both matches. I a surprised Zimbabwe is playing so good, their A team even does not play so well in International series or ICC tournament. The Pakistan team has to improve a lot. I will also say that they have a long way to go. So they also have a long time to figure things out. And of course, this was not an official match. Well, the whole series was not official. So, I don't think it is going to matter too much. The only thing this does is to show Pakistan in which area they have to improve. And I think I can confidently say that they have a lot of areas to work on. At the same time, Zimbabwe looks to have a good young team in the making. |

Bull run will come even if we like it or not, it is because bitcoin is not stable price will up and sometimes down because there are investors that come and go and i believe that in the near future its user will rise drastically because of its amazing features and uses, in my country there are stores that accept crypto as payment it is truly amazing.
If someone in your place already wants to accept crypto as payment for goods at their shop, that's definitely an extraordinary thing because not many countries have adopted crypto so there are still many shops that don't want to accept payments via crypto. A close example is where I am where I still have to constantly rely on fiat when I want to shop for anything because there are no shops here that accept crypto as payment. So what you're experiencing there is clearly a very good thing because with a store willing to accept crypto as payment, of course it will make people start to be interested in crypto and try to get to know Bitcoin further and have the intention to own it because it can already be used for buying goods in stores even though they are still only in certain shops. Many countries have accepted bitcoin and no longer ban it as in previous years, but accept bitcoin as a payment method, not many governments do this. Bitcoin is also not banned in my country, but finding a store that accepts bitcoin is almost non-existent. Using bitcoin or cryptocurrency for payment, most people already have some experience with online purchases. But to pay directly at a physical store, I also have no experience. As long as the government accepts and allows people to use it as a legal means of payment, an increase in users is inevitable. In my opinion, the biggest hurdle for bitcoin is still the government. |

Real estate is collapsing and even the rich people have no options to invest.
If someone can think of an investment plan in the middle of a recession, it means that he is able to maintain a stable financial condition, while in the midst of a "collapse" the real estate business is a good investment opportunity to start in that sector. Why "no choice"? Unless you state where you're from, some countries are simply not suitable for real estate business in various global economic situations. He probably says that real estate prices are so increasing that even rich people can't afford them. I don't think that real estate is a good option when its price is gone too far where a lot of people can't afford it. Market crash happens and real estate market will crash too, it won't grow forever. From what I understand, OP is saying that real estate prices are also falling according to the economic situation, and rich people are also afraid to invest because it doesn't generate profit. The real estate market also became gloomy, not better than other markets. But it is still considered the safest asset, and the fact that it drops in price is a good investment choice. The demand for real estate will never go away or decrease over time, look at how fast the world population grows, and you will see the potential of real estate. |

Now all the news is writing about a possible default, is it real in the modern world, or is it information propaganda? How do you feel about this situation and what will happen for the rest of the world.
In my vision, these are all fuds, like, how can a country with the solid economy base on which many other country's economies are dependent? currently, they are facing with the banking crisis, debt ceiling, and many other economic situations but they have faced them in the past too and overcame these problems at that time. Then why now making so much noise out of it? As this is not something new that comes in front of them surprisingly, because it's the result of their actions that they have made and they knew about it, and must be prepared for it. All I can say is not possible for the US to default as they have a strong economy even if we want to see in the context of acquiring BTC then they have more than 678,436 BTC which worth a lot, and how can a country which has not legalized BTC as legal tender as El-Salvador has done and El-Salvador is decreasing its inflation rate ( source) while they have only 2381 BTC. The point is, the USA has people behind it that can do anything to save their assets and they will come up with any policy to save it. I agree with you that the US will not default on its debt, and all this news is nothing but a joke by US politicians. But how can you bring in bitcoin, and just because they own 678,436 BTC, they won't default? The total capitalization of the entire crypto industry is just over 1 trillion dollars, and that number is even smaller than the total capitalization of their companies like Apple or Microsoft. That amount may be huge for 3rd world countries like El-Salvador, but it is nothing compared to the US economy. Even if they hold all 21 million bitcoins, it won't be able to save their economy if it collapses. |

Infrastructure is a big concern! They do not have proper grounds and stadium for cricket. Domestic cricket needs to be improved that is for sure. They have talents and all they need to do is provide them with a good infrastructure. Without it you cannot nurture those talents for the future. That goes for any format of cricket.
Hopefully with increased funding, they will be able to construct new stadiums and training facilities. Right now they are being forced to schedule most of their international matches in England. A lot of the talented Irish players opt for county cricket in England and they never return. Stuart Poynter is a perfect example. Now their funding from the ICC has been increased to $18 million for the 2024-27 cycle, from the previous allocation of $5 million per year. Hopefully some of that money will end up with domestic players and less number of them will consider moving to England. I can see more players being interested in playing for the national team since the funding has literally tripled. I am sure that is going to bring some more players to play for the national team seriously. But I do wonder how much that is going to help because cricket seems to be transitioning towards T20 league and franchise cricket. The only time people are actually interested in international cricket is when big ICC tournaments are going on. It is going to be a really hard environment for the associate teams and the smaller teams to actually improve in cricket. |

Bitcoin will not be used as a substitute for physical money, but as an alternative to physical money. Because while large amounts of physical money cannot be carried, bitcoins can be easily carried. And Bitcoin is easy and safe to carry.
This is what El Salvador is currently doing. Bitcoin is accepted there as well as their currency. And Bitcoin is being used as an alternative medium of transaction in various sections. Direct transactions are being done through Bitcoin in coffee shops, sealing stations, various restaurants. It is hoped that such a transaction system will be launched worldwide in the future.
But El Salvador has accepted bitcoin as a legal currency because they have no national currency, they use USD as national currency. Moreover, the fact that they accept bitcoin is because the country is on the verge of default, and bitcoin can be said to be the last solution they can think of. I don't know how bitcoin grows there, but from what I see, the president of El Salvador is just using bitcoin for investment rather than seeing it as an alternative to USD. So I don't think other countries will follow their actions, this year, we haven't seen a single country accept bitcoin as a legal tender method. |

I think the increase that has occurred since January when the price was still around $ 17k until the current price is around $ 27k is a big increase, even in March the price once reached $ 30k, of course this is a good indication that this year the market will rise, don't take it too fast decided to sell because I believe this year the price could reach at least $40k.
Some people who have bought Bitcoin in the past year and don't need money for more important things in their life, better keep Bitcoin safely for a much better price than the current price. Because the next price increase in Bitcoin is very likely to occur even though everyone should not forget about the correction in the market. But for those who already need the money for more important things in life, I think selling now is not a bad option for them as long as they are buying at $17K. Bitcoin investment should use cold money, and should not invest with daily living money or money for important things because no one knows what will happen in the future. What happens to people who are investing in bitcoins that are not cold money? and bitcoin is not rising as it is now? Because bitcoin's rally from $17k to $30k was a surprise that no one could have predicted. And I also believe there aren't too many people buying bitcoin at 17k because when the price drops to that level, most people are always waiting to buy at a lower price. Many people missed the bottom last year, and they bought bitcoin at a higher price as the market recovered quickly. |

I don't think it will go down to 25k anyhow, it is understandable that we have already gone down to 27k levels but that's about it, we are not going down anymore and the price will be what it is and it is not going to change anytime soon. I hope that it does, but I do not think that it will change anytime soon.
We are going to see the price stay here for a while and then it will start going back up again and that will be a lovely period, we are going to be quite happy about that. I understand that people may not be happy about not going down anymore because they would like to buy cheap again so they can sell higher, but the reality is that we are not going to see that happen anytime soon, we are going to see it move a lot higher from here without going down.
I am one of those people waiting for bitcoin to drop further while many hope it will rise again. Not only you but many people believe that bitcoin won't be able to break $25k, but in the end, no one can be sure and it's all just everyone's hope, no one has proof. For my part, I still believe there will be a major correction this year or early 2024, and we still have a chance to buy bitcoin cheaper than it is now, although I'm not sure about that either. But investment is like that, each person will have a different perspective and vision, and only time will answer all. |

We have seen a lot of crazy things happen in the IPL so far. But I still do not believe that KKR and/or PBKS have a chance. They have been really inconsistent in this tournament. RR certainly does have a chance. RCB will probably reach the next stage but nothing more than that. I do not believe that RCB will actually reach the finals. GT, CSK, LSG, and MI are going to go through in my opinion. I also think that the net run rate is going to be a big factor here. I can agree with you on Royal Challengers Bangalore. They are known as eternal chokers of the IPL. They have some of the best players in T20 format such as Kohli, du Plessis and Maxwell. And they always start the tournament on a high note. But this is their 16th season, and they still haven't managed to win the trophy at least once. KKR and PBKS have disappointed so far, in part due to the lack of form from their star players. And RR has disappointed many with their poor form during the second half of this season. If they don't qualify for the playoffs, then there is a good chance that Samson may get fired as the captain. RCB is recently showing good signs with the bat. I believe they will be able to actually reach the finals if they can get the bowling part better. But it is certainly going to be easier said than done. Virat Kohli is currently in form. I believe he is better when he is not the captain. Or maybe not being a captain actually helped him because he did not have the additional pressure of captaincy. I just cannot trust RCB because they are not very consistent when it comes to the later stages of the IPL. After all, they have not been able to win even a single IPL trophy since the start. |

Hi I have been toying with the idea of investing in BTC but have waited due to some investors saying the price will drop to 12 - 16k again. do you think it could still drop to this or are we more likely to move on up to 40k?
thanks in advance.
OP If you are looking for a good time to invest in Bitcoin then definitely invest in a bear market. And with the Bitcoin market right now, it's certainly a good time to invest. If you want to invest, first of all you have to do a good analysis about the market and then you will invest properly. And never lose patience by investing, definitely invest with enough patience. The position you invest from should try to hold the investment for a long period of time and sell when there is a bull market. For this bear cycle, the best time to buy bitcoin has passed, but if you want to invest in bitcoin, now is still a very good time to buy. Don't just wait and listen to someone's advice without any analysis of your own. A bitcoin drop to $12k is unlikely, and the longer you wait, the more you will have to buy bitcoin at a higher price. If it were me, I would buy bitcoin for $30k rather than buy bitcoin for $40k. if you look at the movement of Bitcoin from the beginning of this year, I totally agree if you say now is the right time to enter to invest rather than waiting longer and the possibility that the price will increase is even greater. since the beginning of this year the price of Bitcoin has been increasing slowly and if there is a correction then it is not too deep and far. so I think this is when a correction is taking place and it tends to be stable with no significant movement. As long as the price is still very low compared to the old ATH, then it is always a good time to invest. But to say that bitcoin will not be able to fall more in the coming months or future is not true. A slow increase in price or no strong volatility in the first months of the year does not mean that it will continue until the end of the year or until the bull season arrives. Nobody knows what will happen in the future, and anything can happen, so invest now and use the DCA strategy. It's the best I think we have for now, one time purchase is really not recommended. |

Nobody bitcoin price prediction has work this season, I told my friends early January that this year will still be difficult for bitcoin to rise since they're still blocks on digestive and ingestive policies of government, why bitcoin should not stay by government. But they argued me to a fault but I knew bitcoin will not gets to $40k this year. The price will definitely rise but not at the moment. Do you predict the price to any level year?
OP you said nobody's bitcoin price prediction has been accurate this year but you are predicting that the price will not get to $40k this year. I think you are contradicting yourself. I have stooped discussing Bitcoin with most people in my area because we have so many critics and skeptics. For me, the price of Bitcoin is unpredictable because the global economy is ever-dynamic. Nobody expected the war in Ukraine and the collapse of many exchanges last year. These two events affect the price of Bitcoin last year. This year I didn't expect that some major banks in the world will go bankrupt. Nobody predicted the rise in the transaction fees of Bitcoin. We don't know the next economic event so we are just hopeful. Investing in Bitcoin is having confidence that it will overcome all economic problems that it will encounter. Although no one has a crystal ball to predict the future or make solid predictions. But honestly, once you've invested, discussing future prices is inevitable, even though it may be pointless. I also usually don't like to make predictions about bitcoin prices because I'm sure that will never happen because the market doesn't move the way we think. But when I listen to people discuss, I can't just stand by and watch, but will make predictions from my point of view. For me, always being prepared for different situations, no matter how volatile the market is, there is nothing to panic about. |

In simple terms, these are the qualification scenarios:
1. Gujarat Titans: already qualified
2. Lucknow Super Giants: one match remaining, vs KKR on 20th May: If they win, they are through. If they lose either MI or RCB should lose their match.
3. Chennai Super Kings: one match remaining, vs DC on 20th May: If they win, they are through. If they lose either MI or RCB should lose their match.
4. Royal Challengers Bangalore: one match remaining, vs GT on 21st May: even if they win, one of MI, CSK and LSG should lose their matches.
5. Rajasthan Royals: one match remaining, vs PK on 19th May: If they win, both MI and RCB should lose their matches.
6. Mumbai Indians: one match remaining, vs SRH on 21st May: even if they win, one of RCB, CSK and LSG should lose their matches.
KKR and PK also have small chances. But I don't think that they will make it.
We have seen a lot of crazy things happen in the IPL so far. But I still do not believe that KKR and/or PBKS have a chance. They have been really inconsistent in this tournament. RR certainly does have a chance. RCB will probably reach the next stage but nothing more than that. I do not believe that RCB will actually reach the finals. GT, CSK, LSG, and MI are going to go through in my opinion. I also think that the net run rate is going to be a big factor here. |
