1981  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price Predictions? on: April 07, 2023, 12:35:05 PM
If bitcoin reaches $35k within this month, I am still doubtful that it starts the real bull run that everyone is anticipating. There will be corrections all the way. Bitcoin may reach $45k this year but I am not sure if it can stay that high. I am more confident that a bull run occurs next year due to bitcoin halving. Now I will just continue my DCA. I still think that $20k is possible in the next months to come depending on how high bitcoin will pump this year. If bitcoin can reach $35k this month, the correction might happen in the following month at $25k something.

That's true, instead of setting too many expectations this year, we should take advantage of the DCA time when the bitcoin price is still cheap and better prepare for the next bull season. Whether bitcoin hits $30k or $35k is no guarantee that the bear season will end and the bull season will come. On the contrary, that will hinder those still trying to accumulate for the next bull season. I like bitcoin where it is, or better, it can drop below 20k, what I want is to own as many bitcoins as possible before 2025.
1982  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin can do 30k$ this month? on: April 07, 2023, 12:25:29 PM
So whats about you ? Bitcoin can pump 30k or down again 20K
At the close of March, March 31 to be exact, Bitcoin closed at $28,517.
Today the Bitcoin price at the time of writing is $27,830.46. Compared to the March closing price, the current price could still increase again in the following week of April if FUD and other things against Bitcoin are not strong.

There is an optimistic attitude that April which is still 7 days old will bring the $30K Bitcoin price level in 3 more weeks.

There is no exact prediction for bitcoin, all we can do is hope our prediction is correct. Bitcoin could also continue its uptrend and break through $30k or return to $20k, who knows? For me, I don't really care if the bitcoin price hits $30k in April or May because I'm sure that sooner or later, bitcoin will recover and hit new ATHs. Bitcoin rally above $30k this year is also not in my favor, so I don't have high expectations. What I care about is how many bitcoins I will get.
1983  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which is currently the best crypto to invest in? on: April 06, 2023, 09:06:19 AM
I have been a crypto enthusiast for some time now,thou I have lacked consistentency,but over the years I have seen people who have carved out good lives for themselves with crypto,either by direct or indirect investment.,as a result I wish to invest in crypto with cash,but with minimal knowledge,so I seek the help of this house in advise on which crypto to invest in currently as someone who is just getting to learn about crypto currency.
Investing in Bitcoin will be the safest and most profitable then another coins. So I would advise you first to invest in Bitcoin. But if you want to invest in altcoins then you can choose ETH, BNB over other altcoins. No coin will guarantee you profit.  But they will keep your investment somewhat safe.  But of course you have to keep in mind that investment in cryptocurrency is high risk so you have to accept that if you want to invest in crypto.

I agree with you, OP should invest in Bitcoin, and it should be preferred, but not because it is the most profitable but because it is the safest. Bitcoin is the safest but not the most profitable, ETH and BNB have outperformed bitcoin during the past bull season.

As a newbie without too much experience, you should not rush to invest in altcoins, should not seek high profits, but should prioritize knowledge as well as safety. Remember, high returns come with high risks, nothing is safe but high returns.
1984  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Doge worth investing? on: April 06, 2023, 08:55:42 AM
I am not a supporter or opponent of doge but I just want to express my opinion about doge. to be honest right now I'm not investing in doge because in my opinion long-term investment in meme coins is not recommended. but recently there was news that elon will change the twitter logo to doge and it seems that this has been realized and the price of doge rose by about 20% yesterday. this is why I don't recommend you long term investment in meme coin because without hype the price of meme coin will not go up. besides there's no guarantee Elon will support Doge forever.

If you are an early market participant, you will find that doge has outlived many altcoins we call potential, I still remember topcoins like Nanmecoin, EOS, and IOTA...I don't even see anyone mention them, I don't know if they still exist. But the doge is still there with us and even further into the future. To me, doge is even better than many altcoins at the top of the CMC. I don't give investment advice but as long as OP accepts risk OP can invest in Doge, if you want a high return, you have to take high risk.

It is normal for Bitcoin to have someone who hates it as in all things this too is organic.  Even if there is a mass planetary adoption there will always be those who hate it.  People are stupid by nature, that's all.

That's insulting, you can't say that people who accept bitcoins are smart people who hate bitcoins or don't use bitcoins are stupid. Everyone has different views on life and different ways of seeing things, not just because they don't think like us, they're stupid. They do not like it for their own reasons, or they are people who do not like innovation, not ready to accept new things. Those people need more time.
Like your parents, just because they don't like bitcoin doesn't mean they're dumber than you, they're the ones who gave birth to you.

I don't mean this but only that some people have understood well the value and the possibilities that Bitcoin could open up but think that it can harm their finances because they cannot detach themselves from centralized banks and the illusion of traditional financial markets.  All this makes them look stupid here.

As I said, everyone has different outlooks and goals in life. We cannot force them to follow our way of thinking, if they feel safe with the centralized system and live well with it, then there is no reason for them to change. I respect everyone and don't want to divide just because we don't share the same opinion, I know people who know bitcoin well but still choose not to use it, but they have a better life than me, and they still respect me when I choose bitcoin, they don't. So there is no reason for us to offend them or to discriminate.
1986  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 05, 2023, 11:32:28 PM
it's a shame that Lukaku received a red card at the end of the match, there was a lot of drama in this match and that's very natural when the two top Serie A teams are fiercely competing in the Coppa Italia semifinals.
apart from the loss due to the red card received by players from Juventus and also Inter Milan but I think a 1-1 draw is fair enough for both teams and this indicates the fierce competition between the two teams and also because this result leaves both teams still having the same chance to advance to the finals.
When I see games like this, why does so much action happen just before the end? The game has 90 minutes and so much more happens in the 9 minutes of injury time. If they keep this power in the last minutes of the whole game, then it would not only 1:1 at the end. But maybe 5-6 players would get a red card. The goalkeeper of Inter Milan S. Handanovic dont play in the second game and that is not good, because he is the captain of the team. Last year Inter Milan has won the cup, i hope this year Juventus can win it. In the Serie A Juventus they can not win.

These things happen from time to time. I also understand that it is very hard for the players to actually keep calm under certain situations. It was unfortunate but it is what it is. Now they will have to accept the fact that he will not be able to play for two matches.

I actually also hope for another thing which is I want to see Juventus win the Italian League title next season. This season they have already proved that they are worthy of it. There are bigger problems going on in Serie A. But it was Juventus who actually suffered.
1987  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to convince a sceptical person to buy Bitcoin ? on: April 05, 2023, 09:10:25 AM
If you try to convince someone to invest money into something they do not believe in, you will only end up making them even more suspicious and distrustful of you. I would even advise people not to invest in bitcoin let alone give someone advice. Bitcoin is a risky investment, even if we are not sure if we are profitable or not, giving advice to someone is not necessarily a good thing for them. We don't know their situation or what they need and want, so we can't give such arbitrary advice. Not everyone is as willing to take risks as we are.

1989  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 05, 2023, 02:15:35 AM
There is an interesting feature introduced in current IPL which allows a player to be substitute IN and OUT that's make the format even more interesting. ODI and test can be predicted buts its impossible to predict outcome of T20 match as anyone can win in that format ( see recent example of Afghanistan beating Pakistan in T20I series).
Yeah.. this feature is a very good addition to this year's IPL. And during yesterday's match, both the substitutions made a big impact on the game. Delhi Capitals decided to replace Sarfaraz Khan with Khaleel Ahmed. It worked well for them, as he picked the wicket of Hardik Pandya.  On the other hand, Gujarat Titans replaced Josh Little with Vijay Shankar. And the latter played a very crucial role, by making a knock of 29 runs from 23 balls. By the time he got out in the 13th over, Titans were very close to the target.

It is still very early to say which team is actually going to win the IPL trophy this time. But it is true that Gujarat Titans have started this season's IPL quite well. The team that they have is really good.

Saha is certainly not going to be the first pic of any team for this opening job. But now Gujarat Titans go to work with what they have. And I believe even though Saha does have some limitations, he is doing it job that is certainly good enough.
1990  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 03, 2023, 05:05:19 PM
In the last two matches PSG have lost and in fact, PSG cannot score and I think this is a strange result for me personally. Also, with a result like this, then I think maybe the PSG squad no longer has the desire to win in matches.
If PSG really no longer have the ambition to be able to win, then maybe I will hope that PSG will continue to experience defeats so that PSG is overtaken by other teams. If that happens, then it looks like PSG will be better off without winning any titles this season, considering their poor mentality.

The main reason for PSG's defeat was the inexperience of their coach. Other than that I can't find any other reason. PSG have a lot of talented players in their squad. The two attacking players Messi and Mbappe are the best in the world. Even in the last match against Argentina, Messi scored a wonderful hat-trick. But he is not performing as well as expected with the PSG squad.

PSG played in a 3-5-2 formation in yesterday's match. And playing in this formation they have lost in the last three matches. The team was not successful in this formation so coach Galtier should have changed the formation. But he has kept his poor match tactics and formation unchanged. And as a result, PSG continued to perform poorly. PSG management may decide to sack Galtier very quickly. Such an inexperienced coach is not fit for a big club like PSG.
1991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 03, 2023, 04:55:46 PM
It was really unexpected that Werder Bremen lost at home against Hoffenheim in last night's match with a score of 1-2. They lost to a team whose position is almost close to the relegation zone, even so this will also add to the record of a bad trend in the last 5 matches for Werder Bremen, who have only won 1 victory. As for Hoffenheim, this result is very important for them to escape from the relegation zone this week.
It's really very unfortunate for Werder Bremen, because at this moment Werder Bremen got pretty bad results in their last four matches. Worse yet, Werder Bremen still can't win when playing against a team that is in the bottom zone of the Bundesliga standings.
If it continues like this, then Werder Bremen will continue to fall deeper and may be close to the relegation zone. But, if I consider the points that Werder Bremen have at the moment, then Werder Bremen should still be in the middle of the table and that would be better.

This is nothing but bad luck for Werder Bremen. I expected Werder Bremen to win against Hoffenheim. But as always the team let me down. Their performance was not too bad. But they were unlucky. Hoffenheim scored their first goal in the 50th minute. And in just 2 minutes they scored another goal. And leading the match 2-0. After that, Werder Bremen's players attacked a lot but could not score more than one goal. Hoffenheim managed to keep some distance from the relegation zone by getting 3 points in this match.

The main reason for Werder Bremen's poor performance in recent matches is their poor defense. Although the attacking players have performed a bit better, their defense is now very weak. This is why the team has to lose points in every match. They have conceded 9 goals in their last four matches. Werder Bremen's overall performance will not improve if the defenders do not perform well.

Chennai Super Kings have been performing very well since the Powerplay. But looking at today's run rate, Chennai is definitely likely to win. Chennai Kings did not perform very well in the last match, but in today's match, there is a tough fight with Locknow Super Giants. If Chennai Kings can collect more than 200 runs, there is definitely a chance to win. Chennai's batsmen were seen sending the ball to boundaries many times. The name of Chennai is heard in the voices of cricket lovers in the gallery and today's supporters are very much in favor of Chennai.
Chennai made a huge total of 217 for the loss of 7 wickets. Although the performance of the batsmen was not good in the first match, they played well in today's match. The two openers Gaikwad and Conway started the innings well. Almost every batsman in the top order batted well. This is why Chennai managed to collect a huge 217.
However, like in the first match, Jadeja did not play well today. He collected only 3 runs off 6 balls. LSG's batsmen are in good form though. Even then, it is much more difficult to score 218 runs to win this match. But if the top order is able to play well then LSG have a chance to win.
In the first over, LSG managed to collect 7 runs without losing any wickets.

Even after giving away a huge target of 218, Chennai cannot be said to be in the safe zone. The pitch was expected to be completely bowling-friendly. But we don't see it that way. The bowlers are not getting any advantage on this pitch.
LSG needs 11 runs in each over to win. Lucknow's openers Kyle Mayers and KL Rahul are playing very well. While KL Rahul is batting very carefully, Kyle Mayers is batting devastatingly. He is unbeaten with 48 runs from 20 balls. At the end of 5 overs, Lucknow managed to collect 73 runs. They are collecting more than 14 runs in every over. If Chennai's bowlers are not able to break this pair very quickly then I don't see any chance of them winning this match. However, apart from these two batsmen, LSG has experienced batsmen like Nicholas Pooran and Deepak Hooda in their squad.
1993  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which Bitcoin/Crypto wallet are you using? (Hot and Cold) on: April 02, 2023, 08:55:47 AM
I'm really curious which wallets are in use by the community right now, to store and transfer Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. I use Trust and Metamask as a main hot wallets, and Trezor as a cold wallet for BTC and ETH. Please share your thoughts!

Hardware wallets are the safest solution and I feel your choice is secure enough. You can use any wallet as long as they are open source and popular in the market. What's more important is how you use them and protect them from hacker or virus attacks. I have been using metamask and Electrum for the past 6 years, and I have never had any problems. I always make sure to use them on a separate computer and only connect to the internet when necessary, that way, I'm safe so far.

No one can stop criminals from using bitcoin or any other means to carry out their evil deeds. Even if bitcoins are not anonymous or centralized, there is no guarantee criminals will stop using them. Bitcoin is also just an asset, a means, what people use them for, we do not control. Like the government so well controls fiat, why can't they stop criminals from using it? It's people's behavior, you can never stop them. Bitcoin doesn't need to change anything, bitcoin is perfect.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka
New Zealand vs Sri Lanka t20 series first match today. Sri Lanka batted first and collected 196 runs for 5 wickets. New Zealand scored 156 runs in 17 overs with the loss of 6 wickets. New Zealand need to collect 41 runs off 18 balls to win. They do not have many wickets. 13.67 runs to be taken in the over.

Despite a terrible performance in the ODI series, the Sri Lankan batsmen batted brilliantly in the first T20 match. It was unimaginable to me that Sri Lanka would score 196 runs. Because I have never seen a better performance from Sri Lankan batsmen in the ODI series. Both Kusal Perera and Asalanka batted brilliantly. Perera was unbeaten on 53 runs. On the other hand, Asalanka collected 67 runs. However, Sri Lanka played well in the first match. But my guess is New Zealand will win the series. We will see the dominance of New Zealand in the next two matches.
1996  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 02, 2023, 05:33:15 AM
Juventus 1 - 0 verona

juventus won and with this victory now juventus is very close to getting a place in European competitions, something unbelievable because juventus was reduced points and was in the middle of the table, but managed to get closer to the places of access to European competitions, in the last 5 games Juventus lost in just 1 game

Hellas Verona is in the relegation zone but they performed well against Juventus. The way Hellas Verona performed, I wouldn't be surprised if the match was a draw. But Juventus are very lucky that they managed to get 3 points from this match. Juventus won the match with Moise Kean's goal in the 56th minute of the match. Juventus are now only 4 points behind fourth team AC Milan in the points table. The team can qualify for the Champions League if they maintain consistency.

Inter Milan failed to return to the truck. They also lost 1-0 against Fiorentina. And this is their third defeat in a row. If this performance is done, the team will fall behind in both the Champions League and Serie A. Due to the lack of experienced strikers in the team, their performance is in poor condition.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals
Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals are competing in the 3rd match of Indian Premier League 2023. While Lucknow Super Giants scored a big 196 in the first innings but the condition of Delhi Capitals worsened when they came to bat against them. They have already lost 4 wickets. Delhi Capitals need 101 off 41 balls to win which is very difficult task at this moment. Every ball they have to deal as the required run rate has gone above 15. Delhi Capitals probability in this match is very low. But we have to wait till the last ball.
Warner had no support, Mitch Marsh's wicket was big, idk how good local Indian guys play but they didn't appear to have any confidence in themselves. Required rate was already 9 since start, should have started hitting hard early. Dropping Mayers's catch costed them good.

Warner was at the crease for a long time. But the way he batted, it was not enough to win. Dawid Warner's strike on the night was just 116. He collected 56 runs off 48 balls. With T20 specialist batsmen like Prithvi Shaw, Marsh, Warner and Rossouw in the squad, it was not expected to see such poor batting from Delhi. Delhi is one of the strongest teams in this year's IPL. They are quite strong in both the batting and bowling side. Even then they lost the match by 50 runs. Almost every batsman in LSG batted well. On the other hand, apart from Warner and Powell from Delhi, I have not seen any batsmen stay at the crease for long.
1998  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Volatility on: April 01, 2023, 04:56:21 AM


I personally believe the volatility in Bitcoin is one of the major reason why people are making money off Bitcoin and that's why Bitcoin is been referred to as an asset and I don't think the volatility will ever get diminished and if it ever does, then I don't think most persons will still want to be in Bitcoin.


Exactly, the volatility of bitcoin is the reason for us to invest in it instead of other assets, high volatility will generate big profits, and I see that as the advantage of bitcoin rather than fear it. But the volatility of bitcoin is decreasing and getting smaller, bitcoin is no longer growing thousands of percent like in the early years of its development. Its profit is getting smaller and smaller compared to shitcoin, and that's also why people don't choose bitcoin but choose altcoin to invest.
1999  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: effect of bitcoin on institutions and global economy on: April 01, 2023, 04:07:41 AM

how would the wideespread adoption of Bitcoin as a primary means of payment and store of value affect the global economy, including the stability of traditional financial institutions,
the role of governments in monetary policies, and distribution of wealth and power among different groups in society?

The widespread adoption of Bitcoin as a primary means of payment and store of value would have a profound impact on the global economy. It would create instability in traditional financial institutions as it would erode their monopoly on currency and payments. Governments would be forced to reconsider their monetary policies, as their ability to control the money supply and manipulate exchange rates would be drastically reduced. Furthermore, the distribution of wealth and power among different groups in society could be drastically altered, as Bitcoin’s decentralized nature would make it more difficult to regulate and control. With the increased volatility of Bitcoin, it could be possible for some groups to gain a disproportionate advantage over others, depending on their access to technology, resources, and knowledge.

If bitcoin is widely adopted as a means of payment and store of value, it will seriously affect traditional financial institutions as well as the power of the government, as you say. Then I believe we will never see that happen, the government will do its best to stop bitcoin and make it never popular.

For me, bitcoin is an alternative, it cannot replace the current banking and fiat system. So widespread adoption of bitcoin will not have any serious consequences for our government or our economy. On the contrary, there will be more positive effects.
2000  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advantage of accepting bitcoin in business on: April 01, 2023, 03:51:28 AM
It is a very good idea.  I have appreciated you because you educate and introduce BTC to your community.  This is a very good breakthrough.  I was just thinking how do you educate your community regarding the use of cryptocurrency as a means of payment.  I mean I have thought that there must be a lot of your people who don't understand crypto currency and I think it is a challenge for you how to get your people to know crypto currency positively.
If someone is able to introduce BTC to a community, of course he also has the ability to explain more things related to cryptocurrency and Bitcoin to that community. Even though it can be a challenge for him to teach more things that are not known by those in his community, I am sure that someone who has introduced something to more people. Of course he knows how to explain and provide answers to questions that will be born by people in his community.
Not all people are curious enough to investigate further after hearing the name of something which are new to them and also some of them will think negatively and end up not using BTC. This comes the importance of explaining BTC to them in a way that they can easily get. We can use basic words and examples for this. It's a tough and challenging task so we must be willing because we can't get anything in return for doing this.

There's even some who gave free Bitcoins to their students only for them to be encouraged and as a way of saying thanks for their patience because they know that some can get bored with it. A solid Bitcoiner is willing do anything to help the BTC community grow.

It can be said that spreading and teaching people about bitcoin is an extremely arduous task, and as you said, we should be ready because we will not be able to derive any benefit from it, even will receive criticism or blame. That's why many people have knowledge about bitcoin, but they never want to teach someone.
I also taught bitcoin to some of my relatives, but all I got in return was reproach, criticism and contempt. Since then, I no longer want to share this opportunity with anyone, if someone actively asks me, I will also just say that the person should self-study on youtube and social networks.
