2041  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mt Gox Upcoming release of funds to its creditors vs Btc Price on: August 22, 2022, 03:26:43 AM


The unfortunate moment had happened long time ago so those people have probably moved on and already have a money on them so the btc that they will be getting won't be immediately needed. People shouldn't see this as a negative news but it's a kind of positive news actually because who would have thought that the coins are still going to be returned to their rightful owners?

I agree with this thinking, this story happened in 2014 and getting compensation now is a surprise for them. No one would have thought they would be able to get their compensation after all these years, so they had other ways to fix their problems in the past.
Getting back BTC is not necessary to use it now and in Mt.Gox announcement they can get it back with BTC or cash so don't worry and don't
 spread FUD.

This is probably the first business in your area to accept bitcoin, so it's not complete yet. You should come back to the store later to see if they have fully completed the steps to allow customers to pay with bitcoin.
It would be inconvenient and pointless if only the store owner knew about bitcoin and the sales staff knew nothing about it. He's not there often and if the shopper pays with bitcoin it's at a disadvantage and time consuming.
He should teach his employees about bitcoin or send them to take bitcoin basics classes. So they can replace him when he's not at the store.
2043  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ignore the dip and Invest in Bitcoin for long term on: August 22, 2022, 02:58:55 AM
Long-term investment doesn't  mean a coin should be hodl for a very long time. When investing a coin for Long-term,  when the market becomes very bullish its nice to take up profit,  and if the market goes low again then buy and hodl till it is due for profit.
If the concept is like that, then it is clear that it is not an investment in the long term and it is also more likely to be called a short term trade because it always considers the profit in any amount. But investors who like investing in the long term will not be happy to sell their assets only for a profit of 5 - 6% of their capital, because they want to get bigger profits by risking time through their patience.

It's speculation, not long-term investment. The long-term investment will be calculated in years and of course profit from 10%, to 20% is not the goal of long-term investment.
Additionally, we can't be sure of what the market will do tomorrow. If you take profits today and you wait for the market to fall to buy back, but unfortunately the market does not fall but continues to rise sharply then you will lose both the opportunity and the bigger profit.

Difficult financial faced by Barcelona right now after still not registering with new recruitment like Jules Koundé I think could be priority for Barcelona selling Aubameyang to Chelsea, I think £15 million could be expensive transfer values and Barcelona not make Aubameyang as regular player position on attacking line. Trough still need to cut off several percent salary accepted by senior player I think better selling Aubameyang and make better condition with all Barcelona player. Left few days before window transfer close and Barcelona still have chance negotiating with Chelsea to give best offer values for Aubameyang. I think Chelsea urgent looking for with central forward and will pay higher price offering by Barcelona.

Money is going to be important for Barcelona. But I wonder when they are getting £15 million and also a player for Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, whether they will be able to increase the money more.

But I heard that Chelsea has increased the amount of money to £22 Million. I think that should be enough for Barcelona considering that they are also getting Marcos Alonso. And I certainly think that this amount of money is enough for a player who came in the squad for free. A really good deal for Barcelona in my opinion.

Shaheen Shah Afridi has been ruled out of Asia Cup 2022 due to his knee injury and the same situation for Jaspreet Bhumbra. Virat Kholi is busy with Bollywood and is least bothered about his performance. Therefore in this Asia cup, we might be able to find a new set of players or might not find anyone. Still this match would be entertaining to watch.
Agreed, Ireland have played almost every match in home ground. This had helped them play better than playing away from the home. Ireland have given tough play against the top teams. Slowly it needs to gain good position playing away from the country. Soon after T20 World Cup we can see more matches to be scheduled for Ireland with top teams.
When they had players such as Kevin O'Brien, William Porterfield and Boyd Rankin, they used to perform better in sub-continental conditions. Because these players had a lot of experience. But now they are all retired and the Irish are in the process of rebuilding their team with younger players. Tucker and Tector have emerged as exciting prospects in middle order batting. But in sub-continent, spin plays a major role. And as of now, Ireland don't have any quality spinners. Simi Singh, Andy McBrine and Gareth Delany have so far fared poorly.

I agree with @pakhitheboss, that this match is going to be interesting but it could have been a lot more interesting if all the players were available for this match. I really think India is very happy that Shaheen Shah Afridi is not going to be available for this match. But this match is still going to be very interesting because we did not have India versus Pakistan match For more than a year I believe. And we all know that bilateral series is not going to happen between these teams. So this is the best we will be able to get for now.

@Vishnu.Reang, Recently Ireland has proved themselves against Afghanistan and they have also played well against India. But I don’t know if that is enough. For some reason, I believe Ireland has a really good fighting chance against Bangladesh right now. And I also believe that Bangladesh also should be tested playing against Ireland in Ireland.
2046  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 21, 2022, 12:50:55 AM
About! Asia cup. The only match that I am interested and want to put my money in it is the one that will happen on Aug 28   between India vs Pakistan. I am sure this match will have a close outcome as this match requires nerves and handle the pressure. I am sure Virat Kohli will be part of the team and if he is good he will deliver, otherwise their is  a good chance of him getting kicked off.
Naturally, The cricket world is eagerly waiting for the match between India and Pakistan. These two teams have the highest support ৃacross the world. Dubai International Cricket Stadium may be full on that day. That match will be the highlight of the entire Asia Cup game. Virat Kohli will also get a chance he will try to utilize that. If he can perform well in that match, he will definitely add to the T20 world cup squad.
Now, things are drastically changes in cricket, and I am feeling love for cricket is already ended which we have few decades back now money involvement is having his own impact and with this India is the most beneficiary party, and surely they are enjoying this all just because of having big market and now strong system thanks to IPL I just check due to political instability now peoples in Pakistan are not had any interest like peoples having in India.
Surely this is going to be big match but most chances now India will be dominating this time because they have their lessons from last defeat against Pakistan and Shaheen Afridi is now also out of this Asia Cup which is surely going to hurt them badly.

That is going to be the money match, isn’t it? Smiley
There could have been more India versus Pakistan matches before but obviously, because of the Coronavirus situation, things got postponed and we didn’t see it. And if Virat Kohli was in form, I believe Virat Kohli versus Shaheen Shah Afridi and Babar Azam versus Jasprit Bumrah could have been something interesting to watch. And there was always going to be Virat Kohli versus Babar Azam performance comparison. But right now I wonder if that is going to be something spectators are likely to be interested in.
2047  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: August 21, 2022, 12:16:05 AM
One of the pathetic performance by the English test team again South Africa in their home ground and that also in Lord's. None of the batters were able to form a partnership. I am not sure whether they realized that they were playing a five days match and not an ODI. South African bowling was above average in both the innings. First innings it was Ranada who took 5 wickets and in the second innings every bowler was contributed. What a win by South Africa! Amazing and unbelievable!
Look like they are back on their usual business and now McCullum factor is going to be dead just after four matches wins against New Zealand and India a quality team with their skilled bowling attack destroy their all dreams and bazball theories which were in media for some time now they will sit and think about next two matches with very small-time and sources for going to be stood here with this win now South Africa is again at top of the WTC 2023 table and having good chance for qualifying into final.

Here now Pakistan and Sri Lanka both are out of the race for final because we have just three teams in connection South Africa, Australia and India anyone can give more update about this as I am feeling most chances South vs India final is currently most favourite with Australia also can go but still these two teams are in better position.

This was certainly a very pathetic performance from England. In the second inning, they did not even reach the 40s as an individual score. I wondered before this test series that South Africa was playing very well and they might be able to continue that type of form and momentum in test cricket. They have certainly done that.

And I can’t say that people must have expected a better result from England especially when they have different teams and coaches for different formats of cricket. When England is taking so much preparation and it actually feels like they are preparing in a way that is authentic, it is obviously going to encourage some people when they perform like this. No one in their right mind thought that England was going to lose this test match with an innings and 12 runs of difference.

According to rumours, Chelsea are offering £15m + Marcos Alonso for signing Aubameyang. Chelsea are getting close to finishing up the deal day by day. Actually Aubameyang prefers to stay and fight for his place in the team. But Barcelona are eager to sell him anyway as they are trying to decrease their wage load of the team. This is the only way they can register all of their players for the La Liga.
Currently, Barcelona is trying their best to settle their financial situation because they are not good and can face more troubles in future if they fail to have settled few things like De Jong issue is surely the biggest headache for them, but player is not agreeing to leave club without solving his salary issue with the club which is also hurting Barcelona reputation as well.

But here Aubameyang is surely a good profitable deal for them as he joined this club in January as free agent, and now he can give them good profit which is positive for them and good for Chelsea as well because they are also looking for a quality striker and this Gabon star can fulfill their desire with his skills.

This deal is going to be really profitable for Barcelona. Barcelona needs a lot of money right now and I am not sure if Pierre Emerick Aubameyang will be part of Barcelona's long-term plans for the future. This is an excellent deal for Barcelona because they will be giving away this player and they will be getting another player for £15 million. In my opinion. Barcelona should agree to this team's request. And if they can get a little more money out of Chelsea it is going to be the cherry on top of this deal for Barcelona.

This was certainly a crazy result in the second Bundesliga. I really did not expect this type of result at all. As a general rule, this type of fashion is exhibited when Bayern Munich is involved in a match. But I have to say all of the matches were very interesting to see.

The match between Braunschweig and Düsseldorf was thrilling. I saw the match up to the half-time break, the score was 0-0, and then I slept. But I was quite sure that if the deadlock is broken, it is not going to be a draw. When I woke up they proved me wrong, the score was 2-2 draw.

what a crazy 2.bundesliga . and what crazy results today !
paderborn wins with 7:2 against holstein kiel and regensburg loses against karlsruhe with 0:6 .
15 goals in two games . that's insane . the fans don't have time to go to the toilet without missing a goal  Grin Grin
the third game today ...sandhausen vs nürnberg .... nürnberg won 2:1 . the decisive goal for nürnberg was scored in the 94th minute.
tonight braunschweig will still lose against düsseldorf. the game starts at 8:30 pm. my tip : 1:2
2050  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin becomes generally adopted, will 21million btc be enough for everyone? on: August 20, 2022, 10:57:19 PM
Do you think the world population was considered during the creation of bitcoins? Was the intention to create enough bitcoins that could serve the entire world population should it be generally adopted, since it is what we all hope for, can the 21 million bitcoins be enough for the entire world population if it is generally adopted? As at 2009 when cryptocurrency began use, the estimated world population was 6,898,305,908, Currently 2022, the estimated world population is now  7,975,105,156. That an estimated additional 1,076,799,248 persons in a space of 13 years. We know this number will not become smaller as the population will continue to increase regardless of setbacks in forms of the pandemic, war etc Will general adoption really work?

https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/WLD/world/population

It is not necessary that when a person wants to own bitcoin it should be 1BTC, when you own 0.00001BTC it is also bitcoin. So I think no matter how much supply there is, there will be enough for everyone worldwide. Not to mention everyone will need bitcoin, there will be people who work hard to accumulate and there will also be people who don't bother about it.

Since bitcoin has a limited supply and cannot generate more than 21 million BTC when bitcoin adoption is widespread, the increased demand for bitcoin will drive the bitcoin price higher, so accumulating bitcoin from here is what we need do.

2052  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price Can Fail and Will Touch Be US $ 13k Dollar? on: August 18, 2022, 11:51:45 PM
I think that if the price of Bitcoin drops to $ 13k then everything will be normal, I used to think the price of Bitcoin will not recover because it drops from $ 19k down $ 3800, but it only takes 2 years to cross the price of $ 19k, even the Pope is more happy if the price of Bitcoin can drop under $ 13k.
But I guess you don't need to think buddy for this is very unlikely to happen now. We have passed already the bottom and that $13k is too low to consider being in this situation, especially this time where there is an increase in demand and a growing number of users. It was just assumptions that were bound to fail as it possibly no way we fall that low.

Checking on the price trend, it is getting clear to us that the market is stabilizing above $20k, a good sign for no more huge dumps but gonna be a sort of recovery.

Yes, considering what's happening, there is not a chance that the price will go down to $13k. But I think the crypto winter is not over yet, there is still a possibility bitcoin will have another drop at the end of the year or maybe Q1 2023, it is possible that the price will go back below $20k but not below the previous low of $17k. Everything depends a lot on the world economic situation so it's hard to say exactly what will happen next.

I'm not sure if it tracks the user or not? but its android wallet version is a noncustodial wallet and it's like trust wallet is a closed source, so it is not a safe solution for us.

Electrum is currently considered the best open source software wallet today, in addition to the desktop version, there is also an android version that you can replace your coinbase wallet. My only regret is that the electrum wallet still doesn't have an IOS version.
2054  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Taking profits vs holding long term? on: August 18, 2022, 11:27:07 PM
Have been involved with Crypto 6 months now and my portfolio is now only 20% down due to this run we are currently going through.

My main position is 55% in profit and I have been debating if I should take some to then buy back lower when we experience our next crash.

Just wondering what everyone else does? Do you take profits along the way and if so at what point? Or do you just invest to hold long term?

When I first started 6 months ago I had the intention of just buying and waiting 2-3 years till our next bull run to cash out but lately I have been thinking if I can also make money along the way then that would be even better.

Depending on the coin you are holding it is an altcoin you can sell them if it is already profitable and can buy it back when the price corrects lower. But make sure it's a top altcoin, be it eth or bnb because their price increase is certain, if its a new altcoin then you should consider whether it has real potential or not.

In case you are holding bitcoin then you don't need to do so if you don't need cash at the moment, because the market is unpredictable. Sometimes the market is not what we expect, if you sell and then the market doesn't fall but the price keeps going up then you will miss the opportunity to own cheap bitcoin.

Netherlands just wasted all the hard work that was put in by Bas de Leede and Tom Cooper. From 8/3, they progressed to 117/3, but after Tom Cooper got out their batting collapsed again. Now they are at 129/6, with de Leede still there with 47 from 72 balls. But he is running out of partners. Scott Edwards and Teja Nidamanuru scored a total of 5 runs between them and now Netherlands is down to the tail. Will be good if Logan van Beek can give some support to de Leede, so that he can get the Dutch to a total above 200.
Logan van Beek gave support facing 28 balls. By the time Leede was able to score little runs. Finally ended his innings at 89 runs. The team could've scored 200+ runs if few more players have contributed little to the score. At the beginning I thought that Netherlands will end the innings within 150 runs. It is a good score to the early loss of wickets.

Pakistan won the match easily in the end by 7 wickets and 98 balls left. with Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Agha Salman having half centuries each.

The Netherlands actually tried to play well but the problem is only two players from the Netherlands performed well. And this is expected from a team that is not experienced at all. And Pakistan found it really easy. Though I am aware that Pakistani players are not very stable, I do not believe that they will face too many problems against the Netherlands. Because frankly, they are just not a hard enough opponent for Pakistan. But if the Netherlands could play as a team and didn't have to depend on individual performance, the results might have been different.
2056  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: August 18, 2022, 01:07:15 PM
Morata is the most interesting player to me so far. We don't see him scoring regularly normally so I wonder how much he can keep this up. Atletico Madrid wanted to keep him for this season and they must be very contented with this performance. Atletico Madrid were successful about keeping Getafe away from having shots on target also.
Sure, he is an interesting player. He scored 2 goals in the first match in La Liga this season, now he becomes one of the most productive strikers in La Liga. Although it is too early to judge Morata to have a good season with Atletico Madrid, scoring 2 goals in the first match indicates he finds his best again in scoring. I don't know what you mean by scoring regularly or normally, I think he scores as other strikers do. I really appreciate his performance yesterday since it ensures us that he is still one of the top strikers in the world.

Álvaro Morata has actually never been the main attacker of any team till now actually. He has always been the second striker of every major team, until now. It is good to see him scoring two goals. This was a rather easy match in my opinion. I am going to judge him when he will be facing a better and stronger team. But this is obviously a good start. Will they be able to be a competitor for the La Liga title as well? Or will they just raise hope and not be able to deliver?

I would like to think that these kinds of warnings should be general knowledge and redundant, alas, they are not and should be repeated frequently. These are not just advice for crypto but for general life. What amplifies this issue is that a lot of people are still internet illiterate so to speak, and that should be the first step in educating people on how to handle themselves online i whatever situation.

In spite of the fact that this is a piece of basic knowledge and redundant for people with experience in the market like yourself, I would argue that it would be necessary for newbie entrants into this market. OP has pointed out common mistakes in newbies, so I think it's still worth repeating for newbies to see and learn from, it will help a lot for newbies.

I don't see any information about Bitcoin, but you're just telling about your prediction if Bitcoin will cross $30K very soon.

For me you're just same like other members who throwing random numbers and make people believe about their useless prediction. We may see Bitcoin will cross $30K, but I doubt we will see that very soon since I don't see the movement of the market will bullish enough. Reaching $27K is still hard since around 3 months the price just stick around $20K.
I agree with you.  But according to many big traders, the market is likely to go higher soon.

Whether they are experts or big traders, they can only make predictions and nothing is certain here. A wise investment should only be made when we conduct our own research and do not listen to the advice of anyone else.

I am convinced that bitcoin is going to hit $30k and may even reach a new ATH at some point in the future. We cannot pinpoint a specific time for when this will happen, but it will eventually happen.
2059  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 17, 2022, 04:46:25 AM
Some of the Ireland players have bowled a lot of balls as well as getting out for zero runs but taking less runs. Here is the reason for the defeat for the Irish.
Specially tucker faced 8 balls and collected only 4 runs , Delaney faced 4 balls and collected 3 runs , Harry tector 9 balls to 13 runs ...
When the required run rate is above 12 runs per over, scoring 4 runs from 8 balls is inexcusable. All that said, Ireland should have never conceded this many runs in the first place. Not a single Irish bowler managed to keep the economy rate under 10 runs per over. And that too against an Afghan side that was relatively inexperienced. Now the decider will be played today, in around 12 hours from now. If Ireland want to win this series, then they need to prop up their bowling. If not they will lose the series 2-3 despite winning the first two matches.

When it came to Ireland's bowling, the main problem was that they conceded a lot of runs as a result of their bowling. Almost none of them had a robust economy. But that is ok because it was an 11-over inning for both teams. But when it came to batting, Ireland could not reproduce what Afghanistan did in the first innings.

The biggest problem in my opinion for Ireland is they got a start, each of the batsmen had a start to their innings but they could not carry on. Lack of meaningful partnership was a problem for them. And they also had some multiple single-digit scores. I feel like Ireland tried to hit their way out of trouble. And that cost them their wickets.

Yes, Man U are very unlucky this season and there are already a lot of jokes about them... If they lost their first two games to the underdogs, and even 4-0 to Brentford, then what will happen against Liverpool... Man U will probably continue to have problems in the third game... And I think the club might change coaching staff again... Because the management were clearly hoping for the opposite results...
This is not a matter of luck, but something else. In tactical planning, selection of players or underestimation of the capabilities of the enemy - this is better known by the team coaches, not me. Now they have something to think about and prepare for the game vs. Liverpool. I have no false hopes that the red devils will be able to beat Liverpool, but they can at least try to get a draw. Fans can forgive one mistake - a loss, two losses to weak opponents - already a reason to think. If there is a third loss to a weak team, then this will be a very serious and clear signal for changes in the coaching staff, and maybe in the team. I would not include the game against Liverpool in this list, because this is one of the favorite teams in the Premier League.

I know that a lot of people are joking about Manchester United. But why wouldn't they? One of the main reasons why Manchester United had a really bad defensive record in recent times is Harry Maguire. And he is still on the team. If you just go and search on YouTube for Harry Maguire making mistakes, you will find lots of meme videos. And the results of Manchester United also don't say anything to respect them. What has happened to Manchester United? They are losing against opponents that a lot of people probably didn't ever even hear the name of.
