Most of the countries have got local production, but the demand can't be met by those small scale manufacturing companies. This leads to the dependence over the multinational companies supply of food and other things. If the demand gets fulfilled by the local production a huge amount can be saved from transportation and other charges. Another thing is the corporate network's being the monopoly. This is common around the world, the corporate network doesn't allow farmers and local production to sell it. The corporate fix a price and buy it from the local production and further fix the profit with added profit. This burden common people with double the spending than buying from local production.

No clear evidence on the 700000 baht. Whether he invested it, or he lost in gambling or he did something else. Nothing is revealed and with the minimal information available we can't point bitcoin as the reason behind it. He might have invested into bitcoin, but where does the loss had happened isn't known. Looking upon the day full of stress it looks like the person had lost it in gambling. Through trading it isn't possible to experience such a massive loss all of the sudden as there is not much of market fluctuation.

I personally think online gambling is more addictive
I agree with you.
We get addicted to things which release happy harmones in our brain with less effort.
Online gambling is more addictive because of factor like these:
Ease of access: we can start playing with just our phone laying on bed. no need to take effort of going down stairs, driving car, etc.
Bonuses: we get a lot of bonuses on thousands of online casinos.
Availability: online casinos are available 24 hours anytime we want to play just log in to any casino with our phone.

but there are many disadvantages also of online gambling like we cannot control ourselves to gamble responsibly, our mind not trust 100% to online casinos, etc.
Online gambling has the highest rate of an addiction case because the access at which we have to all these gambling site is way too easy and this has made so many gamblers fall into the chase your lose in these online casino because you have easy access to fund your wallet and their is actually limitations to the extent at which you can gamble and this results to loss of income and massive addiction because you must always try to meet up with the losses.
The ease of access lets the gambler spend time and money unlike the location. Even on travel he/she could gamble through any electronic device, as the platforms were developed compatible with every devices. These days addiction is happening in a much faster way. This is not because of their spending, it is all because of the access to gamble. If this gets limited, automatically things will change. For the gambling platforms it is business and they provide the best, and it is our responsibility to segregate and be on the right track.
184  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Elon Musk keep what he said or not? on: September 24, 2023, 11:17:10 PM
Nobody knows if he will keep his word or not. Besides being a businessman, he is a speculator. This kind of person is very likely to lie in order to reach his personal goals. Don't put faith on him or on any other whale. When you do this, you are expecting Bitcoin to become an hostage of those people, so when it's interesting for them, BTC skyrockets, and when they don't want anymore, BTC crashes. Bitcoin has to be independent and non-manipulable by figures like Musk.
Earlier his statements had got importance. Now it is no more, as people have well understood about him. As said he's pure businessman who could go to any extreme for his betterment. Only good thing happened through him, good number of people holding dogecoin for long term got an opportunity to turn themselves millionaires through the price pumping happened because of his words. These people always try to make use of the market and we can follow him and try to make profit and shouldn't be reacting to his statements.
185  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin on banking systems. on: September 24, 2023, 11:02:44 PM
Bitcoin usage have increased around the country, and the same haven't considered a threat to the traditional system used. Quite often we can hear statements revealing that the increased usage of cryptocurrencies have eaten the profit of banks. I'm not sure of the reality and in some banks they've started to use the Blockchain technology. This is really good and maybe over years this could turn the framework better than before. However in all means banks stay with governments and try to have control over people's money through some means. The latest being the launch of CBDC from different countries around the world.

After a 5-wicket win in the first match of the three-match ODI, India are going for a big win against Australia in the second match. The target for Australia in the second match was 400 runs, 400 runs in 50 overs is very difficult. It is natural that Australia's game will be a bit chaotic where the target is 400 runs. From the beginning they were under pressure to score 400 runs, that's why the Australian batsmen batted under a lot of pressure from the start, as a result of which they lost eight wickets, failing to score 150 runs. Australia need 161 more runs to win this match and India need just two more wickets. Very soon we may see India announced as the winning team of this match.

Whats going in India vs Australia ODI series? India completely dominating the series. Today they scored 399 runs by batting first and that's something not easy to chase. Today there is no Virat and Rohit but still they manage to give such a huge target. India are in great form just before the world cup and that makes them ideal candidate for the World cup. Now the question is whether India can whitewash Australia or Australians can save themselves from such humiliation.
In Asia Cup, India team performance was also remarkable and now in this ODI series too India team set a huge target. India's team is improve its performance day by day. In this ODI series, India is leading 2-0. Today match was affected by rain which created difficulties for  Australia team batting. But I do not think Australia could chased down this big target even if rain had not intervened. Both S. Gill and S. Iyer completed centuries in this match and in previous match S. Gill showed an excellent batting performance. If India continues to perform like this they can easily win next match as well.
Good to see Indian batsmen scoring good against the Australia team with much confidence and in a much comfortable manner. What needs to continue is the consistent performance. The problem arises when India tour other countries. Being on the home ground, India team players are good enough to score as well as defend. Away from home venue limited players used to perform well, rest used to return to the pavilion scoring mere runs. Anyhow this is a big win for India team before the start of ODI World Cup.
187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Warning] Don't share your casino account! on: September 24, 2023, 09:40:55 PM
I've experienced how Casinos used to consider huge money getting into an account. Particularly with gamblers who doesn't wager much with big money. I never wager with big money, all my bets used to be few dollars and to the max going out of control it could go high as $50. One day funds kept aside were moved towards the casino for gambling and the deposit kept rejected. I don't know why this is happening. Later I requested the support and they asked source and then only it can be deposited.

There are platforms that are working in such a way. With these platforms we're on the safer side, however if we're unlucky the money might get deposited and end with different problems getting connected with the deposit. So, it is good to be on the safer side avoiding shared bets from unknown persons.
188  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Bitcoin was stolen from Atomic wallet on the 3rd of June on: September 24, 2023, 09:31:52 PM
Sorry for the loss, atomic wallet should find ways to recover the funds and resolve the issue. If not, it needs to provide funds from its reserve fund. Atomic wallet is blocking the claims through social media and partner firms have gone for the lawsuit against atomic wallet as they hadn't provided with any clear information regarding the hack and hadn't reached the police for support.

More investigation firms have jumped into the case and trying to figure out the team involved. However everything is on some assumption and no solid proof have been found against any of the hacker team. Nothing can be done than just waiting for the good news.
189  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't Just HODL But HODL Wisely and Securely on: September 24, 2023, 09:22:02 PM
When the choice is to hodl, better choice is to do it in an offline wallet. Going through the provided source it is an easy task to find the right one. Just move the fund to be hodl and keep it secure. With bitcoin we shouldn't make any mistake and even a small mistake will make us experience big loss. Most of the users could've experienced it and it is always good to know the consequences and stay safe. I personally got trapped by a wallet and lost little bitcoin, and this happened almost 6 years back. The value according to that time period looks small. Now the same could've turned atleast few thousand dollars in value.
190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: September 24, 2023, 09:13:59 PM
As the thread title says, gambling is a way to examine your luck. It doesn't have anything to do with one's skill. There are exceptions that had happened with gamblers, but what they had followed doesn't work with another person. With sports betting we can say it is not completely on luck. Based on our understanding about the players, team, venue, and different other factors we can predict the winning possibility. Even this fails, so there is little of luck necessary. Overall we shouldn't have the mind considering gambling as a way to earn.

I thought that the United Arab Emirates was a better team as compared to the Oman. In the pool stage too, the United Arab Emirates topped with 8 points. But in this match, Oman remain dominant in the match. First, they did not let the UAE team run away with a lot of first innings runs.
Secondly, when they come to chase, they remain calm and do not panic anywhere in the innings. Though they lost 5 wickets but made sure that the required run rate never exceeded 8 or beyond. Anything under 8 runs per over is achieved if you have wickets in hand.

Oman finished the game as the WINNER and they really outplayed the UAE team today.

First of all, congratulations to the Omani team for winning the final match. I think the UAE team is a good team, but today's performance was not good, and UAE failed to give Oman a good target. Due to this, Oman team played without any pressure. Oman's first two wickets fell very quickly and they lost the second wicket for 11 runs, but after that Aqib Ilyas and Ayan Khan showed great performances.

Especially Aqib Ilyas' brilliant innings of 67 runs off 33 balls, which included four sixes and eight fours, played an important role in Oman's victory.Of course, Oman's performance was very good, but a target of 163 runs cannot be considered a big target.Five players of both teams were out, and Oman won the match on the second ball of the last over. Which shows that the performance of both teams was almost equal. If UAE had scored 20 or 25 more, surely it would not have been easy for the Oman team to win the match.However, the Omani team proved itself to be a better team than the UAE team by winning the final.
Everyone had the same thought of UAE being the strongest and the team to win the final. Oman rocked the final as Aqib Ilyas gave the momentum and the same is continued by Ayan Khan scoring 53*runs in 38 balls at the crucial situation. More 5 wickets left, but missing the required runrate could have increased the pressure on the batsman. Finally great day for Oman to finish with 4 balls left chasing the target of 163 runs. Oman lost its earlier match against UAE while chasing a target of 191 runs and ended the innings 169/7. Similar tournaments will help these nations to play better and keep them active than playing in long intervals.
192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling on: September 23, 2023, 10:05:02 PM
All that mentioned in the OP were the key points that could keep a person on the safer side. Above all there is a need for something called emotional control. Even after following all these steps if we weren't have control over the emotions, this is going to be tough for stay on the safer side. Most of the time it is the emotion that triggers and go for higher bets and recover back what have been lost on the previous bets. Never find it a way to make money or have a turn rich mentality. This is completely wrong and could cause loss.
193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it on: September 23, 2023, 09:59:53 PM
Almost every gambler have got similar experience. This can be due to the over expectation and lack of understanding about gambling. His father had gambled and ruined himself as well as the family. This had served as a learning, if not OP might've got engaged into gambling. Everyone have got certain reasons to stay away from gambling. For me it is the personal experience that keeps me under control than going for big bets. Gambling is good, and this shouldn't go beyond limits as well as should not affect of living at any circumstances.
194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: hedge? cash out? $214,000 parlay on: September 23, 2023, 09:49:30 PM
When you go for such bets, please post it. We'll also try to follow it and win something. If I were in a situation I will be cashing it out. Majority had suggested not to go for a loan for the purpose of gambling. Try to enjoy on your decision, whether it is gonna loss/win it is for you. No one gonna benefit, so the right thing is to make up your mind to experience anything.

I don't want to be negative, but cashing out you can keep on trying similar bets. If things didn't go as predicted once again need to build the emperor. Anyway congratulations for the big win and I pray you need to win the final one.

-snip-
This particular predictions can not take us to anywhere, because it's this kind of predictions of bitcoin that makes some people to hope that with this the price of bitcoin will get one particular point, so right now, the price of bitcoin is unpredictable and its obvious that the price is been determined by the gravitational force that is behind the mining and demands and supply of bitcoin, this three things I mentioned is the force behind the market of bitcoin been positive or negative, when the demands is of higher potential than the supply it triggers the increased in bitcoin
It is always difficult to predict prices that are basically about 10 years in the future. Everyone was skeptical about the future of bitcoin back then and I'm not sure if anyone ever expected $150k by 2025 when making predictions in 2013. High demand as the community grows and adoption obviously makes the price even more expensive, so the same scenario could also repeat itself in 10 next year.
Price prediction of bitcoin is really tough. Even the experts weren't able to come with perfect prediction based on the changing market. Over every halving there used to be big rise in the price of bitcoin. During the 2016 halving there is no big expectation and surprising move happened and price peaked above $20k. From that point people started to expect big on the next halving, and the same is being now the reason for a big price expectation for the upcoming 2024 halving which could drive the price movement till 2025 or even after that.
196  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the government can really make a way to end poverty or it depends on us? on: September 22, 2023, 11:57:40 PM
The government can guide and help its constituents and elevate the status of its citizen by providing opportunities to people.  The government can also help its people by providing free education eliminating illiteracy among its people.  The government only provides possible solutions but the people should be actively participating in these activities.  In short, ending poverty is possible if the government and its people work hand in hand.
If the government were able to keep corruption under control, then surely it can make the country free from poverty. Accumulation of wealth and development of particular regions of the nation is a major problem which creates opportunity for specific people and the rest gets ignored. When this gets overcome by the policies framed by the government, automatically scenario will change. Maybe this will be quite complicated at the beginning and things will change gradually.

In the match of Bahrain vs United Arab Emirates team, Bahrain team batted first and set a target of 150 runs in 20 overs. The runs scored by Bahrain team do not seem to be the right runs for them to win.  If the bowlers can perform well, maybe UAE batsmen will be under some pressure. I am betting in support of UAE team, so I want UAE to win this match.

In reply to Bahrain 150 runs, UAE were able to score 147 runs in there 20 overs. This is UAE fist defeat in this tournament and they are still at number 1 position on the points table. The 3 runs victory today has helped Bahrain to move to number 3rd position on points table. KSA is at 6th position as they have lost all the games.
In the 14th match, Bahrain show up an excellent match against the United Arab Emirates. They set a target of 150 runs to UAE but unfortunately UAE did not win the match by just a few runs. Bahrain team batted for 150 runs in 20 overs and UAE scored 147 runs for the loss of 7 wickets for some of that score. They lost by just 3 runs. At the moment, Bahrain team has won 3 matches and collected a total of 6 points to occupy the third place in the points table. UAE's Nilansh Keswani scored 8 from 13 balls as UAE lost the match by a narrow margin, adding some extra runs to his batting would have easily won the match.
UAE seems to be the strong team among the Gulf nation teams, and this time it had failed by a small margin getting close to the target. The last over of the match is interesting. UAE needs 11 runs to win and the players on the crease, Mohammed Faraazuddin and Akif Raja kept taking runs in singles and two and they were able to make 7 runs in the final over. Maybe a four could have leveled the match. Anyhow this is quite interesting and it is possible to see teams getting better in progress when more matches played.
198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 22, 2023, 11:48:53 PM
India vs Australia match was very well played and Australia played well but their run rate was slightly lower than India due to which Australia lost the match by few runs. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shubman Gill deserve most of the credit for India's victory. Because both of them are collecting very good runs due to which India is much ahead of Australia in terms of run rate and win the match. India won the match by 5 wickets Against Australia which is a good achievement for India
Indian team done a supervb job , I taught they will face difficulty against Australia but thier bowler especially Shami smashed solid Australian batting line-up on such pitch where bowler didn't get any kind of help and make things easy for his team, during target chase shubman and Gaikwad played a phenomenal starting partnership which really set momentum for his upcoming rest of the batters, they had scored 140+ opening partnership which later Carrey on by in-form batter Rahul and SKY, at start of the indian innings I taught they will won by opening but unexpected dismissal broke the momentum but later they control the situation, Such victory make indian team number 1 in ICC ODI ranking, now India become dominator in all three format which is itself a big achievement.
Indeed a good performance by India despite them playing without their best 3. Best part of today's match was SKY played a good 50 to win the match, probably this is the very first good innings that he has played in ODI which led India to this win. I am sure if Iyer and Kishan aren't able to perform then SKY too can be a great option in the squad, on number 5 he can play the role of a good finisher with his aggression, especially on Indian tracks in the world Cup. To be honest I don't see winning this time's world cup a big challenge for India and I'll be surprisingly shocked if they actually lose this one, because almost everything is working in their favour right now.
One side the team is playing without the best players. On the other side controversy keeps running as Sanju Samson who is good in his performance haven't given opportunity on the Asia Cup, World Cup squad and the Aus ODI series. The Indian team is performing good and had an awesome win today. However the politics within the team can be well understood through these acts of player selection where particular player is ignored. More support have been coming in favour of him, but nothing can be done against the powerful authority BCCI.

Al-Ittihad vs Al Fateh

The match have been won by Al-Ittihad, but the first goal have come from Al Fateh. During the 30th minute goal have come from Saadane. Following the goal Romarinho made an awesome goal at the 38th minute that served to be the equaliser. Further the momentum is kept continued as Al-Ittihad player Kante scored another goal during the additional time of the first half. This made Al-Ittihad lead the match 2-1 by the end of the first half. During the second half Al Fateh tried the best, and they failed to convert shots into goals. With this win Al-Ittihad have reached the first place on the points table.

Neymar has recovered from injury and he has given no signs that he is not fit. It's just that Neymar hasn't been able to make much of a contribution to Al Hilal and it could be that he needs time to adapt his game to his new team.
 It is indeed very surprising to see Al Hilal in the Asian Champions League competition because Al Hilal was held to a draw by a weak team which made Al Hilal fail to get full points in that match.

However, in the SPL Al Hilal still has a better path than Al Nassr because Al Hilal so far have never tasted failure in the 6 matches they have played. I saw that some Al Hilal fans were quite disappointed with the results achieved by Al Hilal against Navbahor. Because the fans wanted to see Neymar's best action in that match but he failed to do so.

Well that's what I mean what Neymar was doing with Brazil was not the same as what he did with Al-Hilal of course this is a question to us does it really need adaptation or he deliberately did it, Neymar has played 2 matches with Al-Hilal he didn't score a single goal but yeah will be fair enough to give him time in 3-4 more matches.Today Al-Hilal will play the Saudi Pro League match and let's see what is going to do, will Neymar prove something today?

Neymar needs some time to get in shape. We would be doing an injustice if we expected it to work wonders without giving it time. Regardless of who loves or dislikes Neymar, let's be fair, he was not given enough chances. It will take time for him to get better.
This isn't the mistake with anyone. It is common for every football fan to expect the best out of the popular players. In that manner the expectation on Neymar is high. When playing with new players it takes little time to get adopted to the team situation and able to make strategies. However the team owning Neymar is already on the top of the points table, so he can play without much pressure. Today Al-Hilal have got match against the team Damac which is positioned on the 17th position. Maybe we can see better performance in this match.
