1921  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 20, 2022, 08:58:20 PM
We thought Bayern didn't get affected much after Lewandowski leave but after first three games they went to downhill pretty fast. I've never expected four games in a row without getting them any win. On one hand I'm glad their domination of a decade may come to an end, competition bring more excitement to Bundesliga again. On the other hand this might be a temporary setback. I just wish Dortmund and other contenders use this opportunity and make some point difference. So we can see more competitive league for whole season.
It is understandable, they are in an adjustment period and sometimes things happen and that is why we are seeing them lose points left and right. But I doubt that they would have this kind of trouble after they adjust to new roster. Losing to augsburg definitely looks like a big hit for them, and it does look like they are down the rankings for the time being.

But let's remember, this is the team that could win 10 games in a row and win the title with a run if they start to play like they used to. I still do not see them as "bad" team yet, they just have 5 point difference between the leader and that could be easily covered, very easily, so they just need to get back on the horse and start winning again.

It seems the major concern about Proof of stake that experts here warned about has begin to see the light.
According to cointelegraph, 40% of ethereum nodes are controlled by two addresses which are Lido and Coinbase.
This has just proven more that POS is not decentralized and favours investors with higher token supply
source
How do you assume that these same things are not happening with POW as well? I mean even in POW environment, people with higher potential hold major portion of the hash power. In POW, it will be hash power and in POS, it will be in terms of tokens. But, in my understanding, instead of spending thousands of millions of dollars on Asic machines, you should be encouraged to spend the same money on tokens which will ensure your investments will not be enjoyed by third party but people who are in within your ecosystem or simply it will benefit all the holders.

This is the simplest reason why I love POS. Still, I am not aware of level of security and other network based aspects with POS. POW is a proven secured way for protecting against all types of vulnerabilities but I believe POS also will get enhanced to serve the similar features.

The only reason why projects like Cardano and solana won't do 20x again is if they stop building, only projects that turned bad will lose top 20 rank and go extremely below, for example Luna, even after they fix their shit together see what's still happening to the project? That's a good example of what happened to past top ranking projects that losses rank later.
That's true, if a project loses its place in a big deal, then it is quite impossible for it to recover from that and end up working its way to back to top 10. Just realize that things that go down in crypto ranks, will keep being low forever and will never recover.

I believe that the best thing to do would be investing into things that has never shown any trouble before, and that is why I do not invest into things like XRP neither, even though they are still highly ranked, we have seen them have some sort of trouble and that should be good enough reason to not invest into them, that's my personal opinion, I go with things that are always strong and will always be.

India who has biggest league for men has no money to start women IPl. Indian players are not allowed to play in any Premier league while women players are asked to play foreign leagues to get necessary experience. Till the time boards start taking women cricket seriously there is little scope for women cricket.
Really feeling shame for them as these women's are doing amazing job in last few years but sadly no positive things happening for them in their own country where BCCI is having world's most prestigious franchise league and having the biggest profit in sports industry around the world really sick mind peoples are these who doing things like this because they can manage this easily even having some lost which is affordable for them because they are fearing few things are going to be not good for them, but they have to start as this could be good and positive if they look into long run.

Australia and England doing good job even they are having small market instead of India, and they are having nothing positive just because of their poor tactics which are surely not going to help them if they are not going to work in this way as well.
1925  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen to LUNC after its founder is arrested?! on: September 18, 2022, 09:43:51 PM
It is very suspicious that the price of LUNC increased after the news of Do Kwon's arrest, the price of LUNC should have gone down with the news.
What happens now that the price of LUNC suddenly rises, it is clear that there are parties who take advantage of this situation for certain purposes.
So I really have to be careful with LUNC, for me it is very clear that someone is manipulating the price of LUNC, so I choose not to invest in LUNC.
Obviously it was just ordered like that. They have a good chunk of money and they knew that they are getting out of one big crash and couldn't handle another one so they used the money they have to keep it high, so that people wouldn't be worried about it. I never found that to make sense but using the money you are given to improve something on keeping it high and losing it never made sense.

Let it fall and make the coin so great that people should want to buy it instead of selling it. LUNC is long gone and would never really comeback, I assume that it would be quite terrible in the long run for many people and probably will not end up being worth anything.

This would also help us evaluate how far we have gone and also creates room for more on-boarding of more adopters. Sharing our experiences on how we started would also encourage more to be steadfast  in the system. This would go a long way in helping others at the verge of giving up on bitcoin.
It is understandable that most people talk about the times that they missed out, after all just a few hundred dollars back in the day could have been millions of dollars today and that is a big deal, a big miss, something you could have changed your entire life and be in a new trax bracket and you could have lived a very happy life.

However, it is also good that it gave people an understanding of "you are either in or you are out" idea which means that you have to be risking something and getting and collecting assets, in order to even have a chance. May not make you rich that much anymore, but at least you would be having a chance, you can't win the lottery if you do not buy a ticket.
1927  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto agents on the increase on: September 18, 2022, 07:16:41 PM
Just as the crypto industry is expanding and getting local adoption from individuals, co-operations, organisations and few countries  the same rate at which we have crypto enthusiast increasing in number which i see so worrisome and also a call for major concern.
So what do you want if you are worried for the adoption to grow? Are you contented on the current rate of the adoption that we have right now? It's not that low but the numbers are decent so maybe you will be contented with it but I don't think the rest are going to agree with that as they always crave for more because for them, more adoption means more price increase.

Not only that actually, but the use of btc are going to be easier as many merchants are going to support it. There are many benefits so don't only focus on the negative side and besides, new people will also be educated and they can always learn if ever they did a mistake like us once we are starting on here.
1928  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Casinos vs money laundering. on: September 18, 2022, 04:15:09 PM
I don't think casinos, gambling websites couldn't stop money laundering what they can actually do is with the kyc data it can help when the investigation agency is approached for investigation. However, gambling websites have become one of the biggest part of money laundering by evading the investigators, but I think good reputable casinos require this kyc data to  stop it and I also think it plays a great role in the investigation.
you cannot just Imply KYC in crypto gambling because you knew that people here mostly wanted privacy and hates providing KYC when they gamble and also depends in how much are the amount being launder because criminal and syndicate nowadays knows how to use gambling platform as form of laundering .,
Money launderers will always prefer casinos that won't ask for KYC so they can't keep their identities when betting. KYC is one of the reasons for authorities to track them as well as their transactions so they will definitely choose not to use sites that would ask for KYC. Criminals could easily keep their laundered money and use it to gamble. There were just unlucky gamblers who got caught through their gambling activities but most criminals nowadays already know what to do.
This may be the reason why some licensed casinos don't require a KYC but they will only surprise the money launderers once they are now in the withdrawal page. Of course if you are a money launderer you will be scared for this but if you know that you are innocent, you will choose to do a KYC only to prove the casino that they are wrong with their accusations.

If it's only the transaction alone, it will be hard for the authorities to find out the launderer because they can use a mixing service but KYC is more effective because this includes their name and addresses on where they live. Faking KYC will also be hard because KYC verification now are more stricter.
1929  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Queen Elizabeth and Cryptocurrency on: September 18, 2022, 06:54:29 AM
just a warning, scammers always have a way to get our money especially if something goes viral like Queen Ellizabeth who is now a trend in the media. they will use this to make coins either as a donation, or in memory of the queen but the truth is they just want our money.
That is if you will fall for this trick then your money is always at risk of being stolen by them but if you already know how this market works that there will always be new coins who's names are after the trend then you will likely avoid them because you know that there are huge risks that entails on them. They create coins as a way to ask donations?

Omg, I think only dumb people will agree to donate because the person who have died is not poor, that is why she is being called as a queen but even if the donation is about those who hit by a war or a natural calamity and alike, we should always double check things because many scammers are going to use that setup.

Laggy you say? When wolf of Wall Street guys were having drugs on board to keep their mind alerted at all times for until the last digit on trade screen that hit me very hard man. While trading large numbers of trades at the same time with handsome amount of money you can’t go laggy. Even with the slightest blink of an eye at right time of sell or buy could bring things down in trading. Well this is for day trading. In fact in case of crypto currencies it’s even harder since the market is way way volatile. Anyone getting into trading should treat it as most important part of their job.
Using drugs only to make you alert is bad because drugs has some side effects but there are still other safer way like drinking a cup of strong coffee for example. In trading, we have crypto bots and that can help you automate the process. That way there is no need for us to monitor our screens 24/7. Why not use them instead? Cryptocurencies are more volatile but it's also more profitable.

This is why many traders starting to like cryptos and they are now transferring here. Trading should be treated like a job because our hard earned money is at risk here and I think none of us like it when they lose, although losing is part of the game.

I guess it boils down to the culture, In Asia, children are being taught to respect their elders. And in turn elders or parents can snoop on their children without having their kids calling the cops or something like in the West.

But I do agree that parents is one factor that really shape the minors. If they see that their parents are playing around with their smart phones, for sure they could be influence and might play their parents phone or them registering and gambling when their parents is not around.
Will kids really do that? Calling the cops just because their parents or sibs, checking out their stuffs? Dang that's kinda crazy but you are right, that it's mostly about the culture. I too noticed that most Asian kids are polite and not that spoiled as when compared to the kids in other foreign countries ie U.S.A. We as a parent, we also need to be careful with what we are doing and when we know that it's not right for our kids then we should only do it away from their sight. On the original topic, the rise of mobile gambling isn't only bringing an issues but it also have lots of advantages but can be mainly applied for those who have a control of themselves.

Yes I agree with that England women team gave the performance they needed to win in two of the three matches in the entire series. However, India's turnaround in the second match made it seem like the series was unpredictable.  But in the third match, England's first half performance was telling the series in their hands.  And the women of England proved it with the bat, especially Sophia Dunkley's performance played a big role.  But the regret of half century miss for just one run will remain.
Realistically I am feeling very happy with Indian women team's performance in England because within given facilities and structure in India these women are giving their best and having close call against two top ranked women teams in world like Australia and England with these women's can beat all other women's from the world easily as many are feeling these are not able to give commitment like England we have to check realities as well because these are no prepared like them from childhood but still doing amazing job.

With this all subcontinent conditions are also not favorable for them as we have in England and Australia or SENA countries but still these are doing their best and hopefully in coming years we will have revolutionary changes in gaming industry by women's of India.

It is a pity that Frenkie de Jong ultimately stayed at Barcelona. He also seems to be a kind of 2nd choice there and will often start on the couch. At Chelsea or United, he would certainly have become a base player. Maybe another attempt in December, but since it didn't work out recently, I don't think it will work in the winter either. He wants to stay at Barcelona at all costs because Barcelona still have to pay him a lot of money. Unless a club wants to take over that debt.
Frankie De Jong rejected Bayern Munich and Manchester United offers and now playing into Barcelona as second choice because he didn't want to leave this club, and secondly he has issues with his salary errors which was on Barcelona side, and they are not paying which is pity but right now both parties working on this issue which can solved in coming days and most chances he will join German Giant Bayern Munich even right now all just personal views or having some unauthorized news but still things can happen in winter transfer or coming season because he is not fitting into Xavi system.

Barcelona's management is also not happy with him, and they want to offload him in coming season, but as I mention the biggest problem is salary errors which needs to be settled as this is surely hurting Barcelona reputation as well.
1934  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: September 16, 2022, 09:00:34 PM
Marseille will face PSG in mid-October. This is PSG's home match. If Marseille manages to beat PSG in this match then I would say Marseille is a worthy contender for this season's title. If PSG wins against Marseille then we will see PSG dominate this season as in previous seasons. And PSG will win the title at the end of the season. Personally, I think Marseille will lose their consistency very quickly and start going down the points table.
It's just paper calculating because football is not like math where we can count it as the dominant champion. because the session just started, if happens like your count, the PSG domination will not be like expectation because we don't know next, maybe the player got injured or something happens in the middle session that makes the situation change.
I think there is one more scenario where not only PSG will beat Marseille, but they will keep on winning until that day, whereas Marseille will lose a few games. That could result with something like 5 or more point difference until the game and closer to 10 point gap after the game.

I am not saying that it will happen that way but people do not give enough credit to PSG these days because of the points Marseille has, look at the goal difference and you will realize why PSG is a much better team, and I mean like MUCH better team, even when the points are similar. PSG will not only beat Marseille, but they will guarantee their championship after that game if you ask me.

Ajax need a miracle to reach the final in the Champions League, but it is always possible if they can impress in every game and progress from round to round until the final. Their chances are very low compared to other teams, so I'm sure their journey this season in the Champions League will not reach the quarter-finals. Qualifying for the round of 16 is ok for them, but who knows even though Liverpool and Napoli seem to be stronger than them.
No doubt Ajax needs a miracle for reaching into Champions League final, but I have completely different view in this season as their group is having teams like Napoli, Liverpool they have very few chances going into knock out stage because they are not good enough to beat Napoli in away match and already lost against Liverpool with most chances they can face tough challenge against them at home as well with they already sell their few quality players which were able to give them good results and now surely they need miracle for going into next round in presence of these teams.

Currently, as they have funds from few transfers now time for them to have quality players which give them quality results in Champions League in future because now things are not easy for them in present.

not only Westbrook is to blame there, but also those players who can't keep themselves healthy all throughout the season. Frank Vogel failed to execute a good rotation to their current roster last season. Some players deserves more minutes than the others, but Vogel always failed with his experiment.
Westbrook had put a good numbers though, but he lacks the winning mentality or the mamba mentality.
As usual, he's always down to have a good stats every game than winning the game.
Vogel had to because their rotation was limited, and it doesn't look any better right now neither. They do not have too many talented players left, they preferred to have 3 stars and 3-4 other role players, over 2 stars and 5 great players to help them, they had such a good roster on the year they became champions, it was Lebron and AD that brought the trophy and maybe they would fail to do it again if they tried, but they decided to send so many playerz and instead got one more superstar who turns out he isn't even a superstar anymore.

That's going to be their real trouble and I do not think that it would really become an issue in the long run when Westbrooks contract is over.

What you say is quite true, after Leicester city sacked Claudio Ranieri in 2017 it was very visible if Leicester continued to decrease their form, and even this season has been a bad start to the season for Leicester because they continued to be in the relegation zone until week 6, missing an important pillar maybe the reason leicester city are in the bottom position at the moment and i see the departure of Kasper Schmeichel is the worst for leicester, I don't know why leicester city did not try to keep Kasper Schmeichel even though he was one of the players who had the most contribution to leicester city, throwing away Good goalkeeper and appointing Danny Ward as the main goalkeeper is a stupid step taken by Leicester City in my opinion.
This all is not alone by coach I am feeling now Leicester City management is also not interested to have some better things in this club just because of this in start of this season they are currently the worst club in English Premier League with most chances they will stay here for long time until we have no positive development like change of management because just change of coach is not going to help this club right now many quality players already out with no suitable replacements which is surely big setback for them.

Kasper Schmeichel was surely one of the best for this club and his departure having big impact on this club's performance now we have to wait for some better things until next transfer window because without this you can't do anything.
1938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 15, 2022, 09:15:22 PM
Bayern Munich performance sometime in the Bundesliga didn't convince me that Bayern Munich can win Barcelona in the UCL. Bayern Munich performance was very impressive against Barcelona. Bayern Munich defeating Barcelona being a strong club in the Spanish league has proved to me that Bayern Munich despite Bayern Munich are not scoring goals in the Bundesliga like when the season began,  their are high chances that bayern Munich can meet up with the top position on the standings.
Yes it is a natural thing when we are a little doubtful about Bayern Munich because of their performance in the Bundesliga. But in this match they proved that they have prepared for this, despite the unsatisfactory result in the Bundesliga, they managed to win the game which I think is more important. Don't mean to take the Bundesliga lightly, but when it comes to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga I think we have the same thoughts.
The fact that they won so much may have made them a bit at ease with Bundesliga games, psychology and mental readiness is as important as your talents and tactics. You could be a much better team but at the end of the day if you do not care about the game as much as the other team does, then a draw is a possibility, you could even lose which they do a few times a year.

This is why I believe that we shouldn't be shocked to see them lose points. However, when it matters they will start to care and when that happens nobody will face them. Look at the early games and how easy it was for them, maybe that caused them to not care as much anymore since they know they can shift the gear and beat everyone.
1939  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: September 15, 2022, 08:42:37 PM
There is no reason to think that Chelsea will start playing well with a new coach very soon. The new coach needs time. A coach needs time to adjust to the players in the team and to understand the mindset of the players. Also the new coach has to find out the internal problems of the team. And it is definitely time consuming. And so I would say Chelsea needs a lot more time to stabilize the squad. And so may they will not fight for Champions League or Premier League title this season. They are already far behind.
I agree, the possibility that Chelsea will play better in the near future is still there, but I would say it is unlikely. I don't see the chemistry built by their new coach, and I haven't seen the direction of their game until now. I would say that in the near future Chelsea's game will improve if now I see the development of what is shown. But so far I haven't found that.
I agree too, the fact that they are in turmoil will cause the team to get worse even more. They should have stayed a bit the same, spending 200+ million dollars may look like a recipe for success but in reality they just overpaid for players and they shouldn't really be expecting much success after such a "failed" transfer season. You could have spent that money on just one or two players, much less probably, and keep the rest and you would do fine.

I understand they wanted Fofana, but get Aubameyang? I would think they could have gotten Ronaldo or some other star for striker along with Fofana and be done with it, that would have made them so much better.

Hello you guys,
Until now, there is no country officially accepted crypto for trading or purchase as I know. Can you explain why?
Moreover, do you think that which country could be the first?
Did you searched on Google before posting this topic ? I think you have opened this topic without knowing anything. If you kindly search  on Google, you will see that many countries have already legalized it and also trading through it in  inside their country. On the other hand, you should know that some countries have already started to accept it as legal tender, and it is expected that this level will increase very soon.
Obviously, because he is a newbie but that is not an excuse of course. Google is free and I think even kids now know how to use that wonderful piece of tool for researching things. He can also make a search inside the forum. As long as it's related to crypto, I am sure that he can always found what he is looking for since this crypto forum is huge enough and it started long time ago.

Indeed that lots of countries already legalize btc for trading or as an asset use while for purchasing or as a currency I think there is only two or three of them so far. The two of them were namely El Salvador and the second one is central African republic.
