1881  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 24, 2022, 09:43:14 PM
Failure in the Champions League was actually not something they expected especially after they were 2 goals ahead of Real Madrid. It's a normal thing for a match and in spite of all that we have to admit that both teams have chances to go through but unfortunately it's only for one team.

However, PSG's current position at the top of Ligue 1 will not be shaken because the league only has 9 match left for them. PSG appearances have dropped in their last 5 matches where they have lost 3 times in 5 matches. This team is not as good as expected even when Messi is playing.
Failure in UCL is not something any of us expected from them. But to give the credit where it is due, they lost to the team with the most champions league trophies in the world. Real Madrid has like 2x more UCL cups than the second most team, which is proof enough that they are totally a tournament team and even on their worse year they would be able to go further than they should.

PSG is a great team right now when you look at their roster but they do not have that kind of experience, when you have a team that goes to nearly quarter finals every single year for the past 20 years, that brings in some experience, and yes PSG has been decent recently but they are basically a team that was put together at the start of the season as well with few of key players.
1882  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Dogecoin 🐕‍🦺 1$ possible in 2022 or not? on: March 24, 2022, 07:09:32 PM
$1 for 1 Dogecoin is as silly a dream for hamsters as dreams of XRP at $10 or SHIBA at 1 cent. More like no than yes. Much less DOGE, which saw such a high price in 2021 due to speculation by Elon Musk. Without those tweets, the price of DOGE would certainly not fly to those marks, and given Ilon Musk's current reputation, it is unlikely that cash flows into that coin will now be as active as they were last year. Rewriting the current ATH for Dogecoin is now as difficult a task as for XRP, which failed to reach its 2017 ATH and will not reach it any time soon.
For xrp; yes, I do believe that this coin has some bright future ahead because number 1 is ripple is not a meme coin. Number 2 is ripple has a use case, its speed is superb for any kind of transfer and the most incredible thing is its fee is cheap as one can imagine. Doge coin is only just a meme coin but it cant do what xrp can.

Doge coin fees are high and it's also a slow moving coin because transaction can take up to 5 minutes based on my experience but I don't know about shiba inu as I never tried using this coin and im not planning to. I know that im only going to get disappointed anyway. Reaching the ath for btc and other top coins are now hard, much more for the coins we talk above.

If this is a case of match-fixing or something even close to that, I think it was a really serious offense and the player got away with it quite easily.

the official news is still not out yet. I assume that it can be a cover-up job by the England cricket board to save the player from getting banned for a long time. I don't think something like this has happened ever before. if a player got punished we all knew why he was punished. but this is the first case in my opinion where it is kept a secret.
In my opinion it's not case of match-fixing or spot-fixing because if we have things like this then surely ECB is also doing crime and not putting all information on media and just giving a minor reminder which is double standard we have few cases in other countries and mostly players faced some bans and other punishments as well even it's all rumours because in my case it's nothing related to betting or gambling.

Most chances it's related to drugs or behaviour like this because we also have things like this regularly in these countries and from these players like few days back Sri Lankan players were also have same case now they are back in team after reminder about this all.
1884  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Getting more skills in trading on: March 24, 2022, 03:55:21 PM
Those are just startup topics and not getting more skills? You can get more skills by trading since you would understand it well and you can make different strategies based from actual trades. I see some users for example they learn what is trend line and all the time they are forcing things that would fit a trend line and ended up losing their trade.

I think those list of yours is a good startup to understand the theory behind that topic and that is not exactly what will happen in actual trade and only through actual trading you'll understand and gain skills in trading.
It was the experience, that you will get the more you do trading but along with that, your skills will also build up because you will know some things i.e if what can affect your trade, you will create different strategies and etc.. there are things that are not fit in a single strategy, no wonder why some can lose because they keep forcing it.

I don't know if they already knew that it was not possible or not. They should not be afraid and limit their selves on one strategy because there are lots of strategies out there. It can be true that what we see is not always what we get but at least we have an idea if what to expect. It can still help us somehow.
1885  Economy / Economics / Re: Ukraine has legalized the cryptosector on: March 23, 2022, 01:53:46 PM
Why do I have this feeling that governments are clowns, it is not limited to any country, they are all the same. The legal proceedings came in when they were on the hot seat, what happen to the process before they were invaded by the Russians. Ukraine was largely donated to by the Bitcoin community, it is time others should follow the legal preparation of Bitcoin before it is too late. I hope Zelensky doesn't change his mind about those bitcoins donated, I trust no government when they sit on their chairs.
at least they understand the use of bitcoin in the current situation, until finally they can do more after the war is over, and don't forget bitcoin services. but we can only hope, of course they will only calculate the profit and loss. but indirectly it is at times like this that bitcoin has more value and has proven usefulness, so that everyone can judge it because the development of the times is inevitable
Unfortunately governments will only understand the brilliance of bitcoin and crypto only after it is too late for them. If Ukraine did this way before the war started, they could have gathered so much more taxes. Imagine if they did this 5 years ago, and promoted themselves as crypto capital of Europe? They would have gathered billions of dollars from taxes and could be spent to get a lot more drones and weapons and armor.

In any case, they are at least doing fine right now and they have seen the beauty of it, Russia is slowly getting it as well and they are using it too, so both sides have realized why bitcoin could be great for them all.
1886  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread on: March 23, 2022, 01:11:10 PM
I think it's not difficult for Barcelona to get the Europa League trophy. Barcelona's charming appearance is enough to prove that Barcelona is the most favorite team to get the Europa League trophy.
Xavi has done a good job during his time as head coach, his public doubts were answered by proving it on the pitch, as a coach who took charge of a club for the first time on the European continent, Xavi had no difficulty adapting. He can be said to be the successor to Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique who previously brought Barcelona to victory in the domestic league and in European competitions.
As things are changing into Barcelona way most chances they will chase this title and having something good in this season which starts in the worst way until they have manager like Xavi who turn things very aggressively with positive mind and now peoples talking about their title hopes with most chances they will finish at second spot behind Real Madrid in La Liga even few weeks back there were no chance for them to stay in top four.

Now, they are going to face Frankfurt which is also good team and having very good players with this they beat Betis in last round, so every result is possible with most chances this year we are going to have champion from these three teams like Barcelona, Atlanta and West Ham from different leagues but surely currently best in business.

Choose coin which already registered on kucoin,Gate ot Mexc and remember anything with the words safe,baby, or Inu in their name tends to have no purpose. However, the powers that be somehow manage to get people to invest in these. So, i say throw a little money on all of them and consider it a long shot with odds about as good as Powerball
You forget to mention the mighty binance, top exchanges as well as houbi, cex, mcex and many other more but we can't simply pick coins that is listed on them because the coins with the keywords that you mention are also available on these exchanges. Meme coins are not bad but it can give you some decent returns but only if you invest on the main meme coins or to the first and the original one ex. safemoon, shib inu, dogecoin.

I don't know about the baby something coin but I think it's only just a copycat of shiba inu so I don't recommend investing in any of those coins. Odds of a powerball are high but the odd for a 100x return should not be higher than it.
1888  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Round of 16! on: March 22, 2022, 09:02:19 PM
I think ok, this is going to be a hard nut to crack for everyone and the actual result of this match we will be able to get is after the match. otherwise, anything we predict can go wrong. 

all I know is both the teams have the capability to win and advance to the next stage, both teams seem to be at the same level of performance right now. Even though the loss against Barcelona might feel a little harsh for Real Madrid fans, that math was not their main focus in my opinion. because they have to be ready for Chelsea in the Champions League.
We have four quarter-finals with all eight teams done some good work for reaching out here and prediction is not easy for any teams specially after watching last game between Real Madrid vs PSG because any team can change things in very quick way with their own ability currently two matches are surely having some good talk and both are from England and Spain first Real Madrid vs Chelsea most feeling Real Madrid have good chance.

But, many change their view after Real Madrid vs Barcelona game but here nothing is sure as these are quality teams with extraordinary players those are having talent to ruin any team right now any prediction is not easy in these both matches we have more than 2 weeks, so hopefully all will be good and interesting for fans.
1889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 22, 2022, 08:29:31 PM
Australian batsmen were very much settled yet sadly got all out for 391 runs. Australia having upper hand but Naseem shah have bowled so well like never before. Every wicket that fell was a pure class. Excellent spell from Naseem, he has improved his fitness and bowling skills. Now Pakistan team have to bat really well because Aussies almost score 400 runs and pitch is additionally turning out to be somewhat slightly slow.
With Shaheen and Naseem both done some good work and takes 4 each wicket on this pitch mean tomorrow we can expect some good magic from Australian pacers as well because they are much experienced and have good quality and skills to manage things in positive way now all depend on Pakistani batsmen how their response in this inning if they capable to cross 500+ then surely we can expect some results because most chances on fourth and fifth day we will have some more help for bowlers which is interesting and taking lead in first inning could be very helpful for any team.

If Australia successful to catch Pakistani batsmen in quick way then surely this time they will have good result not like Karachi test.
1890  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Alt market today on: March 22, 2022, 07:28:06 PM
Kindly check the price of all the coin and bitcoin. The price of bitcoin near to the 42k dollals after a huge dump.The cause of the dump is very simple. The was between two communist nation. Before the split of USSR, the two nation had same ideology. After the influence of many country, the ideology was collapsed. It leads to the split of USSR. Now the market back to the green by the start of peace talks between two nations.But the Ukraine was in huge debt from the country like Canada.
It is true, the Bitcoin price is always influenced by a dollar trip, even the second price is almost at the same time, the case between the two countries has made many issues that affect Crypto in general, but in a fairly simple thing this has no big impact, we hope for the case It's finished, and Crypto is back on the normal path, so that we can still continue investing with green conditions
Why will you wait for the wars to get sorted out before you invest when you can continue to invest normally? There is no major changes anyway that happens in btc but it was still the same volatile coin. You can just base your investments in the rise and fall of the price and not because of the status of the wars.

The price of btc have been dumping even before the war began, so it was not the wars that causes it. Bitcoin is back at 40k again but this isn't new, the past few days btc was going back and forth between 40k and 39k. If there are few difference I think that was altcoins are now following with the comeback of btc but we can't tell yet if it is a trap or not. That is hard to predict.
1891  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: An advice for newbies and plebs on: March 22, 2022, 12:54:51 PM
The best entry point is right now. It's too risky to wait for a possible dip in 2023 to start investing. Many people are always looking for the perfect bottom to finally purchase their first amount of bitcoin, but they are never able to do this, because bitcoin is never cheap enough for them and when they least expect, bitcoin enters a bull market again, so it's too late to invest.

Anyway, every investors should be prepared to start seeing profit in few years in worse case.
Unfortunately people think that patience in the market is only for selling and not for buying. If you do not wait, there is a good chance you could miss an opportunity that could be better.

I disagree that you should go all-in right now or later, but you should never invest just one moment. If you think right now is good and future may not be great, invest with some portion of your money and not all of it. Then whatever you have left, and whatever you can save later on, you could just keep on saving that and invest it at a later date, and a later date. That way you keep investing at each price and you would be able to get a profit easier.
1892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 21, 2022, 09:08:03 PM
Actually, the Pakistan cricket board got scared because they had some injuries in their lineup. And I think they did not want to risk it.

So, they did not do anything stupid and bladed safe but that's the mistake they did in my opinion. I think at least they should have tried to look up and fight against Australia and give their bowlers a chance of showing what they are capable of. I think we are going to see something like that in the third test though.
Surely this is main reason and already described by PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja after having some good criticism from around the cricket world about their these tactics against Australia which came after 24 years and secondly this was done for marketing purpose because we already watch some quick ends in India which give big loses to television channels and also BCCI even they can afford these all but PCB is having completely different situation, and they don't want to give any weak point but surely now they will prepare very good at coming series against England and New Zealand which are also coming in next few months for their respective tours for playing Test Matches, ODI and T20 after T20 World Cup in Australia in October.
1893  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2021/2022 on: March 21, 2022, 08:12:59 PM
I think it's going to be a great match and both teams playing twice in a couple of days, I believe that Man City have the better edge. I'd say either team wouldn't win both fixtures, and maybe a draw in the league and Man City advancing to the FA Cup finals.

Chelsea against all adversity they're getting because of their Russian owner are still getting by really well, and they should almost effortlessly get to the finals too.
I am also watching these two teams for last few weeks and having feeling that I agreed with your statement partially because match Premier League match can end in draw but in The FA Cup we will have some hard fight and Liverpool can win this match even this can go into penalties because in current season they have very good target of four cups and most chances they will grab these may be three are sure, so I am not expecting Manchester City is capable to stop them for having another final against Chelsea and cup because Chelsea is also good team, but currently they are playing like a tired team with some doubts around them for Russian connection even right now we have no bad impact but still nothing is clear what's going to happen with this club. Liverpool is going to be killed all opponents in this last period of season with their performance.
1894  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk Wont Sell his Bitcoin on: March 21, 2022, 12:48:33 PM

I think for regular retail investors we have a completely different view point because of most people have very different financial circumstances and therefore make very different decisions what to do with their capital.
And we can't compare our life to HIM. He deserves his action and keeping his Bitcoin is what he wants. And besides, he doesn't need to spend it by now and there is no sense in selling his Bitcoin. He has the purpose why he bought Bitcoin in the first (which we don't know yet) and not selling them has of reason as well.

Anyways, we are not sure if he is telling the truth or just for another entertainment. People know that he already lie to us in the past few days and I don't think we have to put concern into what he says on twitter.
Yeah he was a big liar if he will claims that he have a bitcoin and he still holds it. The world will never forget when he say that bitcoin is not environment friendly, this is also the reason why he discontinued its use before and he switch to doge coin instead. Although he is lying there on his tweet but others that are recently involved on bitcoin and cryptos won't know it and this makes them motivated to hold and buy more btc because they think that a famous personality like Elon musk are also a solid fan of bitcoin.

It's hard to say this but we should still thank Elon right there for his effort of hyping the bitcoin. Elon's point is investments can save us from inflations but he didn't say that selling is a bad idea. We can sell if badly needed.
1895  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How has trading been for you during this Ukraine and Russia war on: March 20, 2022, 09:35:00 PM
Have not traded much in these times due to some other reasons but have invested some amounts which i cash out with this little bull run.Although the profits were minimal but i was satisfied as altcoins are risky to trade in.Rest still holding my btc investment for long and gain profits on them.

The war have not seen much plunge in the prices as we had expected and the prices of other commodities like oil have grown to ATH but will observe for some more days to have better idea about the market.
To invest and then sell them for not so long time can still be considered to as trading. It only means that you are not affected with this war because you still did it, that's nice as your showing that you are brave not unlike to others that are doubting now if they will buy and sell because they think the price can change quickly so they are waiting for a better moment to initiate a trade.

The profits you get might be small to you but if you will only realize that getting that small profit was not easy, you will still feel very proud of yourself, it is a priceless move. Depends on what altcoins you trade as some altcoins are like btc too that aren't risky at all.
1896  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: REASON WHY ALTCOIN MARKET HARD TO SPECULATE on: March 20, 2022, 01:21:32 PM
Now things have almost changed with the many new concepts that have been introduced into the crypto space. So that concepts like ICO no longer exist in the new campaign and the team has changed and replaced it for a better one like the current IDO.
In 2017 there were indeed many unique events that could serve as the experience of everyone who had been in crypto at that time.
It is not really that much "changed", the idea is the same, you pay some people to buy their project from them and they make money and you hope that you will get some profit out of that while they are guaranteed to make money, and you hope that they will use that money to make the project better.

There is zero decentralization, they just give you something and you look up to them to make something with that money. Did we pay satoshi to do bitcoin? Did we pay eth? We just let them happen and they grew organically, same with ltc, or monero or any of the old ones. To this day all the new projects asks you to give them money and that is the biggest problem.
1897  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Russia cut off from Swift is fantastic opportunity for bitcoin on: March 19, 2022, 09:52:59 PM
I'm reading many articles explaining that Russia shall be cut off from the SWIFT global interbank payments system, as a sanction in response to its invasion of Ukraine. That means it would be impossible to make bank transfers between Russia and most other countries.

I see this as an absolutely fantastic opportunity for BTC.
If you can"t use banks, just use BTC and be happy.
bitcoin is a currency there is no manipulation, and also very decentralized...

without SWIFT then all Russian citizens who are accustomed to using banks for transfers or other activities internationally will be cut off, and with bitcoin, it is a way out to transfer internationally freely and safely. bitcoin only -> Russia's way out to stay in touch with the outside world, especially transactions.
The crypto itself might be decentralized, but the exchanges and the connection between crypto and your bank account is centralized. Which means that if Russians wants to turn billions into crypto, they would have to use banks.

In their own nation, they could make it legal and supported, but then they would only have crypto, where could they cash that out to fiat again? Not in another nation, that would be hard because of the sanctions. All in all, it is not impossible to turn ruble into crypto into euro or dollars, there are ways you could do that but between being very expensive and also possibility of your fiat getting frozen, it is very risky.
1898  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying BTC vs Mining it on: March 19, 2022, 06:08:21 PM
Mining is also an idea but it requires more work than buying and holding them. In addition to energy costs, wear and tear of components, space, you need a lot of time to take care of them and technical knowledge for miners. Not to mention the mining will be interrupted at any time if you are living in a country where bitcoin is not yet legalized you will have trouble with your machines.
With $40k, I think You can buy bitcoin and wait for the price to rise. Bitcoin price is low relative to old ATH so buying now at low price is an opportunity to grow the asset quickly.
The idea of mining is to generate bitcoins continuously without needing to buy them anymore but like you said the only problem is the cost of miners and the cost of mining itself. We need to determine these factors first if mining is suitable for our needs or not but if not we can always buy a bitcoin.

Bitcoin mining can be interrupted in case a problem of electricity occurs or in case the weather is not fine, if your source of electricity is natural or renewable. There are countries where mining is banned but there's also countries that banned both mining and the use of bitcoin. There's no escape for you even if you say your only buying btc and not mining it.
1899  Economy / Economics / Re: What skills should I learn to get freelance work ..?? on: March 19, 2022, 04:36:32 PM
The most lucrative skills are the hardest to learn.
Programming and webdesign are way harder than article writing,but they are more lucrative.
You don't just have to learn a skill.You have to become really good at that skill,because the competition is furious and no buyer would want to hire a rookie programmer,instead of an experienced programmer.
If you ask me,freelance is a rat race and only the best and hardest working will survive the competition.
Another problem with freelance is having to find good customers.Most customers would want you to do more work for less money,which is unacceptable for me.You have to know your worth and you have to know how to "sell" your skills at the highest price possible.
Developer and similar are indeed considered to be the highest paid jobs right now but I think it will also depend on the employer (you also said this) last time I saw someone looking for a developer but he is offering a very cheap fee, I think that was only 50 usd in btc. Maybe he thinks the task is too simple but becoming a developer is not an easy thing.

Article writing on the other hand and as well as marketing (skills that the op have right now) is actually in demand too because of the emergence of cryptos and I don't think the pay is that small but like I said earlier it can also depend on the employer. If he can be able to do multiple works, that is also helpful to increase his income.
1900  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bear vs Bull : The Beauty Of Cryptocurrency on: March 18, 2022, 08:10:22 PM
We likewise gain different tokens. Then again, not every person likes Bitcoin. There are crypto financial backers who would even prefer not to have a say in Bitcoin. However hodling won't make you lose, yet it holds no assurance either that you will continuously create gains assuming you don't do anything on your coins.
But I think majority are into bitcoin? do you agree?

Simply because it is the prime mover and it is the first one to really bring crypto to the limelight and now it's a buzz word that everyone around the world is very interested. Even in war torn countries like Ukraine and Russia, they are making bitcoin and crypto like a safe haven regardless if we are in a bear or bull market. Because the war will make their money worthless, so it's better to hedge it to crypto right now.
The majority of the people who are interested in bitcoin are into bitcoin of course, but there are so many people out there who ignore it completely. Those are the people we need to attract somehow if we want to have a good and long-term project with crypto. If not, then there are of course some people who know about bitcoin and the majority who know about it like it and use it and that’s good sign.

So, if 10% of the world knows and uses it, and 80% of them likes it, then it is a good thing, but if we could get '20+ people suddenly that would change so much and it would mean a lot of profit for the ones who are here already as well and provide a good future.
