2061  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Public Perspective towards Bitcoin on: March 29, 2023, 09:37:45 AM
everything will be very simple if the government seriously considers its role and limitations on life.
i think bitcoin was born not to fight anything in life, when other material tools do not meet the needs by creating equality in life, the fact that bitcoin brings positivity but not being accepted may take time for people to get used to it.
we have become different and stronger since our inception, and I am seeing that in the last few years acceptance is more widespread than objection. Smiley

I agree the government is the biggest barrier to the unpopularity of bitcoin and many people are afraid of bitcoin because they believe in the government. You are right, bitcoin was not created to counter or replace anything, but I see many of us spreading the word that bitcoin will replace fiat and banking, and disrupt government dominance...It's like bitcoin is going against the government, which makes many governments oppose it. Bitcoin is an alternative for us, and the government is still ruling us, it's no use fighting them.
2062  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: March 28, 2023, 06:30:08 PM
Isn't it very interesting that the probability of winning the Copa Del Rey and the Champions league is stronger than the probability of winning the league? Normally it should be more difficult to reach the UCL championship, but for Real Madrid it is not so difficult. Especially when he was so close to making it to the semi-finals when he had a nice draw. Barcelona is doing very well in La Liga, but the real goal for Real is to reach the trophy in UCL. Ancelotti is truly a top coach.
Real Madrid's best achievements this season are not necessarily about the Champions League title, nor are they necessarily about the Copa Del Rey. The best achievement they have achieved this season is the Club World Cup title, they have secured it in the cupboard.
Meanwhile in La Liga, Real Madrid no longer has high hopes for the title. In the Champions League they have to prove that beating Chelsea is not difficult, while in the Copa Del Rey they have to beat Barcelona who play at Camp Nou. Everything is not as easy as you say even though Real Madrid has top players and coaches right now. Whether or not Madrid will fail this season in several competitions depends on their performance and the performance of the opposing team, so don't just think about Real Madrid while underestimating their opponent.

Honestly, it is a little interesting that a team is finding it easier to reach the final of the Champions League instead of winning the league title or Copa del Rey trophy. But for me, it is not that much surprising because we are talking about Real Madrid here. They are the king of the Champions League. So it is quite expected from them. I honestly think Real Madrid is the king of the Champions League and Barcelona is the king of La Liga. At least that's the story of the last two decades in my opinion.
2063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 27, 2023, 07:00:50 PM
Pakistan's batting today is slightly better than the first two matches. But they lost the wicket of Mohammed Haris by just 3 runs. And they lost the second wicket by 28 runs. At the end of 7 overs, Pakistan collected 62 runs. And Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique are batting well. If this pair can play well then Pakistan is expected to be able to give a big target today. Pakistan will lose today if they give a target of less than 150 in today's match. So batsmen should bat with responsibility. Pakistan will definitely not want to lose all the matches in the T20 series against a team like Afghanistan.
Batting today is slightly better then first two matches as Pakistan are 87 after completion of 10 overs. Its a big game for Afghanistan as they will try to whitewash Pakistan while Pakistan will try to avoid further humiliation. Wise move by Shadab to drop Azam khan as there is already a wicketkeeper batsmen in the form of Muhammad Haris. Azam khan might be legend in leagues but to play international cricket he need to pay attention to his fitness. His wicketkeeping behind the wickets in beyond standards of international cricket.

Pakistan vs Afghanistan

Pakistan has already lost the series. They are now just playing to salvage something from this series. Pakistan has certainly put on a good score on the board in this match. Afghanistan also seems to be having some problems chasing that.

Right now Afghanistan is batting. As I was writing this, Afghanistan lost 3 wickets for two runs. It was 71/3 and now it is 73/6. And they also have Zadran retired hurt. Really don't think that they will be able to win. Seems to be like it is going to be a win for Pakistan.

Going from Bayern to Tottenham is a step back rather than one forward. Yes he would be in the Premier League and it is all good, but there is nothing to be won with Tottenham now. 
Going from Bayern to Tottenham is not a step back. He's not that big of coach to say he's too big to coach Tottenham. Coaches like Mourinho and Conte that have achieved a lot coached Tottenham so why is Nagelsmann too big for Tottenham? Bayern put a lot of faith in him when they hired him because he has never done a big team let alone be successful in one. Nagelsmann is a good coach but I cant say he's up there with the likes of Pep, Ancelotti, Mourinho. He will be a perfect fit for both Tottenham and Chelsea so if Tottenham actually want him they have to move things quickly and get him before the summer.

The only reason why going from Bayern Munich to Tottenham might actually feel like a step back is because at least Bayern Munich was winning the Bundesliga title consistently. But Tottenham is not being able to do that.

But at the same time, the competition in the English Premier League is far higher compared to Bundesliga. I actually am not thinking about this move as a step back or step up. I feel like whatever this movie is, it is already done. We should talk about how the future of Tottenham is going to be.
2065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 27, 2023, 06:30:32 PM
The Lakers will be a strong contender next season that is for sure. But there is always the risk of suffering injuries again, especially to the ultra-sensitive Anthony Davis. So they better try to give it all in their remaining games. The Grizzlies and the Kings are not very experienced in terms of playoffs games so they seem beatable by a healthy Lakers squad.
Just like the Lakers, the Bulls are also etching to have a better ranking in the east. The Bulls just stopped the dream of the Trailblazers this season to try to advance into the playoffs. Lillard might be rested in the remaining games. And then today, they beat the Lakers in LA. Still, high chances for the Bulls to lose LaVine next season unless they can go deep in the playoffs which is very unlikely.
Davis' injury always impacted to how Lakers will perform, with him and LeBron Lakers will still have the chance to move their way
to the next round or even the play-in, they just need to keep winning.
We don't know what will happen to them as there are still changes in terms of team standing and if ever they push their way
the next series of games will continue to be tough for them.

The Way Lakers are losing matches right now, it is certainly going to be hard for them to win the remaining matches. I know they still have a chance to play in the playoffs. But the chance is getting slimmer and slimmer as every game goes on. I have to say the performance of the Lakers in this game against the Bulls was not good at all.

Expected a better performance from Anthony Davis in this match as well. It felt like he was absolutely frustrated in this game.
2066  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: <POLL> What Kind of Bitcoiner are You? on: March 27, 2023, 03:09:09 AM
It accounts for minority not majority of forum. New participants in cryptocurrency market will love altcoins more than Bitcoin. They will have to learn their lessons and lose money with altcoins before a day they realize that Bitcoin is the best.


No one denies or argues that bitcoin is not the best. Bitcoin is the best because bitcoin is the safest to use and invest in. And not all altcoins are bad, and not all people who invest in altcoins lose without profit. We have to admit that bitcoin is getting bigger and safer every day, but that has made bitcoin less profitable than altcoins. If you invest in ETH or BNB during the 2021 bull season, you will find that their returns are better than bitcoin. Not all altcoins are bad, many still perform very well in the long term, ETH being an example. I also invest in bitcoin, but I'm not a bitcoin maximalist, I can't pass up the many bigger opportunities out there just because of my bitcoin fanaticism.
2067  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Unclaimed Terra Luna on: March 27, 2023, 02:54:09 AM

I know the airdrop won't be of any significant value, not even in the slightest possibility of it marking a minor recovery during a bull market. It just came to mind because I recently had a discussion with someone who mentioned that he had received it on Binance. Otherwise, I had no clue that Terra was airdropped at some point. It's certainly not a big deal, but I thought I'd ask in case it was possible in any way; if there isn't, I wouldn't care at all. 

I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again: whether we like it or not, CEXs are certainly more convenient and user-friendly than DEXs.

As far as I know, the airdrop is still going on, and the last one will be released in June 2023, I got this information from Binance, and I think PancakeSwap has an announcement, but you missed it. You can wait until then or contact the PancakeSwap team directly for more details, I think you haven't completely lost it yet.
https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/binance-completes-second-round-of-terra-luna-airdrop-distribution-to-terra-classic-lunc-and-terraclassicusd-ustc-holders-6c9ca64a94064973a273328edc99019a


Maybe because the Luna team knows that most people only use CEX more than DEX so they choose CEX. Despite of what happened with them, they are still thinking about their business and on how to make more money. The new Luna isn't totally dead yet because it was still listed and does have a value. The OP can still earn a profit with it if ever he successfully got his airdrop coins and sell it immediately.

I wouldn't advice him to hodl or stake it because the coins future seems not bright anymore. DEX can still be convenient in other ways like for example in regards with the KYC. They don't have it. You don't even have to sign up when you use them. This is the reason why some users prefer it over CEX.

I'm not saying DEX is completely useless, but besides KYC, I haven't seen anything superior to CEX. Once invested in altcoins, in my opinion, use CEX for convenience, and OP's case is an example.

Actually, Sri Lanka played well while they were bowling. It was a good performance from them to get the New Zealand batting team all out before the 50 overs. But after that when they came into chasing, they had an absolutely horrible time. Now I'm just going to say the best score by a Sri Lankan player in this match, it is 18. And there are four extra runs in the 76 that Sri Lanka was able to score. Now Sri Lanka will have to win the next one.
In what way do you think Srilanka played well against NZ? Just look at the scorecard of Srilanka. The captain himself scores a duck and Mendis the wicket-keeper and the batter after the openers. If we check the balling stats then every baller had an economy of 4 and more. In ODI a target of 250+ is always not easy to chase. I am not sure what Srilanka would do in the next ODI. I hope they do not repeat the same performance.
Sri Lanka's performance is not acceptable in any way. They have not done well in any of the matches on this tour of New Zealand. But they had a good score in the first test match but they had to lose. After the first test match I haven't seen any good performance from them. I thought they would do well in the ODI matches but they lost big in the first match. I have doubt about the next matches whether they will be able to return to their form or not.

@elevates,,

Bruh! I said Sri Lanka performed well in bowling. Actually it was not good performance.
It was more like decent. But if we talk about the bowling of Sri Lanka, it was absolutely horrible.

Anyway after the first innings, I thought Sri Lanka did well to get New Zealand all out.
But of course that performance was not going to matter because Sri Lanka was about to throw it away.

I think they distribute it via cex not on dex, but i don't know the exact information, i got my coins on binance, so i guess the one who got the airdrop is the one who bought luna on cex.

I have never invested in Luna, but I have followed the events since their demise, and I think what you say is true. Mostly, I only see centralized exchanges announcing airdrop distribution via CEX, I hardly see anything about DEX. This is the first time hearing about this incident, as most people used CEX to receive the airdrop.
OP, but Lunc has become a dead coin with no future anyway, and as you said, it's just an insignificant amount. You can forget about them, and this also shows us that DEX cannot be more convenient than CEX, DEX has too many inadequacies, if you use Binance in this case, they will solve it for you quickly.
2070  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you feel bad while paying with BTC? on: March 26, 2023, 08:52:14 AM
For those who consider bitcoin as an investment, spending bitcoin is uncomfortable and wasteful because they believe the value of bitcoin will be huge in the future. But there are also people who only see bitcoin as a currency, a means of payment, spending bitcoin with them is normal because it will contribute to promoting bitcoin to become more popular. Bitcoin is very versatile, so it depends on the purpose of each person we use it. I also rarely use bitcoin to pay, but using it in cases of need is not a problem because I can buy it back later.
It will only reduce the number of bitcoins if they use bitcoin as a means of payment.
Besides that, with the current situation and conditions where not many countries accept bitcoin as a means of payment, it would be better if we used bitcoin as an investment tool first.
After bitcoin can be accepted as legal tender in all countries, we can use it or choose fiat.
And for now, I think that it's better if I just keep the bitcoin because there is very high upside potential for the bitcoin price.

Legally, I don't want to spread Fuds or have pessimistic thoughts. But I doubt that bitcoin will be accepted for legal tender in all countries, I never thought that would happen. For countries with developed economies like the US or EU that have stable currencies, there's no reason they should accept a currency they can't control. It's not in their favour, so that possibility is improbable. In the future, I predict bitcoin will be classified as an asset class like gold and will become the reserve asset of countries. Therefore, we should accumulate and hold bitcoins from now on when their value has not reached its real value.
2071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: March 25, 2023, 06:23:58 PM
This is the terrible performance of the Sri Lanka Cricket teams. Only three batters were able to score double-figure runs. Sri Lankan Captain Dasun Shanaka scored a golden duck, while Kushal Medis scored zero runs. Henry Shipley from the New Zealand side took five wickets in seven overs only. Daryl Mitchell and Blair Tickner both took two wickets each. Overall an excellent performance from New Zealand bowlers.

Then I switched to the world of HYIP and BO. The results were extraordinary, but that's where I felt the extraordinary and endless ups and downs, Just being rich for a while, being scammed.
If you know HYIP and BO are full of scam, you should never join it. Anyway what is BO?

For relatively early market participants, most people will not be interested in bitcoin but instead invest in forms of investment like HYIP or Ponzi as it offers high and instant returns. And they were trendy at the time, I believe anyone who knew about bitcoin has invested in it a few times. As a newbie, I used to get into these types of investments, and I made a lot of profits initially, but because of ignorance and greed, I could not keep anything.
In my opinion, BO is a form of gambling, not an investment, BO is an acronym for Binary Option, aka Binary Options Trading.

Life is hard and cruel, get use to it. As soon as you get relax, it will instantly penetrate you. So squeeze your ass, teeth and fight for a place under the sun.

Instead of crying here on the forum, find yourself a second job.

A bit harsh, but I agree with what you said, whining does not solve the problem, and no one is generous enough to be willing to help you. Everything is changing very fast and becoming cruel, we need to accept the truth and find a way to face it, that's the only thing we should do right now. Our lives are ours to decide, if you don't save yourself, no one will save you. I believe that with the development of technology today, we have a lot of opportunities to make money, and as long as we try, we will always find a way.

Let's just give OP some ways to express his feelings, after all, we all are free here to express what we're feeling and also our opinion. Might be hard for the OP's situation especially that he have his family to feed every single day but he got to find ways to earn a living because it's not just him who is suffering, his family too. He should learn to thrive much harder because this harsh world will always push us to the edge and we have to fight its challenge every single day just to survive.

I'm not saying I'm better than anyone, but I'm also married with two young children. I once fell into unemployment, at one point, I could not afford to buy milk for my children and could not pay the bank interest. I also have relatives and friends, but no one helps me because they have to care for their families. The way I got through that period was to leave my hometown to work far away and send money back to my hometown. After 2 years away from my children, I was able to pay off my debt and earn some money to run my own business. Such is life, it is incredibly harsh. But in life, we need to accept, trade off for a better future, and don't expect others to help us. As men, as the breadwinner of the family, we should not shed tears, that only makes us weaker and more stuck.
2075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 25, 2023, 01:14:32 AM
In Serie A this season Juventus can still develop better, but I think Juventus will feel very overwhelmed in getting a better position in the standings because Juventus are left with more points than the teams in the top four of the Serie A standings this season so the opportunity for Juventus to move from seventh to top four is starting to be very difficult now, unless Juventus are only trying to rank in the top five for the rest of the season.
I don't think they are chasing this season rewards any longer and they should be focused on winning Europa league and bring a trophy back to town because overall , Juve's season had so many difficulties to face and with them , still fighting for games and points proves that the spirit of a giant club is still there. Regarding UCL spots...it will be difficult so they should be happy if they catch Europa league spot because frankly I don't see Lazio , Inter or Ac.Milan moving from outside top 4.
I won't blame Juv if they can't go with a tittle this season. The point deduction have so much affected them. Juventus is the real King of Italy series a but I don't think they would have been an hindrance to Napoli with the current level of dominance I'm seeing in the serie a standing.
I would have said it's a done deal for them in the Europa league if at all Manchester United has been eliminated yet no, it is a thing for them to hope on. But the probability is really small.

I know and everyone knows Juventus has proved themselves this season. They have nothing else to prove to anyone in my opinion. Of course, it would have been really unbelievable if they somehow were able to win the league title even after they got robbed of 15 points. Now they are in the 7th position. After cutting 15 points, they were in the 10th position. It has been a steady climb. But it would be interesting to see them in the top 4/5 position. Of course, it is going to be hard. Especially since they are also interested in the Europa League as well.
2076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 24, 2023, 06:00:53 PM
I really appreciate Juventus' amazing climb despite the reduction of 15 points in the league. They have caught up with Atalanta a lot and the gap between is only 4 points now.

However there isn't still an easy job to do for Juventus now. Because the time is running out and their chance of qualifying for a tournament is dropping down quickly. They need to continue having a winning streak otherwise they had better forget about that goal. But their win over Inter in Giuseppe Meazza was really impressive and I think this is a sign that they will fight with all they have during the rest of the season. They are going for the Europa League title on one hand also. I think they shouldn't care less about the Europa League because it can be their only ticket to the Champions League.

Yes, I think Juventus has proved that they are good enough to make it to the top 7 or 6 even if they do not have things going on their side. If a team has been deprived of 15 points that they have earned and they are still in the drop 6, I think we can agree that they are performing far above average. They should actually concentrate on the Europa League more because that is a better chance for them to play in the Champions League, not the Italian league standing.

The Zimbabwean party will be able to grow stronger with government support and funding. Zimbabwe has a number of talented players in its squad. But the Zimbabwean board is not able to find the right talented players. Government support is required for this. The people of Zimbabwe are very interested in cricket. Still, the Zimbabwean squad is weak. With proper facilities and support from the government, this group will be able to become stronger in the future. Right now the Zimbabwean team is completely dependent on Sikandar Raza's performance.
Government support and funding can certainly help improve infrastructure and facilities for cricket in a country. This can help identify and nurture talented players provide them with better training and development opportunities and build a strong national team. It is also important for the Cricket Board in Zimbabwe to work towards creating a more sustainable and equitable structure for the development of the game in the country. This can include investing in grassroots programs creating pathways for young players to progress through the ranks and building stronger partnerships with local communities. The success of the Zimbabwean cricket team will depend on a number of factors including the ability and dedication of its players the support and investment from the government and cricket board and the overall infrastructure and culture of the game in the country.

Zimbabwe is certainly not as strong as it was before. So a lot of investors are also not showing interest in Zimbabwe cricket. Especially when the investors say that the squad is not having a reliable helping hand from the government, they are generally going to think that this is not a good place to invest. We can often see that a lot of players in Zimbabwe, even some of the popular players of the squad, do not have any sponsor logo on their bat. That's because they have not been able to present themselves as well as some other teams have been able to, like Afghanistan. Afghanistan is not a very good cricketing power, or at least not very big. But they have certainly made their presence felt. I think if Zimbabwe concentrates on the t20 format, they will probably be able to achieve that as well.

War isn't something good. No one benefit during or after war no matter the cause of the war. Imagine the resources and infrastructures destroy during the Russia and Ukrinre war recently.

That is not good for us peace-loving citizens, but for politicians, it is necessary to consolidate power as well as show strength. In war, the winner will be the beneficiary, they will have all they want if they win.

In war, the main beneficiaries are the arms sellers, and after the war ends, every country needs capital to rebuild the country, and the lenders benefit.
The wars in Ukraine and Russia are hurting the people of both countries and affecting everyone in the world, but there are always beneficiaries in it, and that's why they don't want it to end early.

Guys do not sleep on new decentralized exchanges out there, they are growing very fast and their TVL is eye-catching, I think Dex tokens will make good profits in the next bull market, here are my favorite dex tokens.

1. GMX  2. GNS  3. VeloDrome  4. ZigZag  5. Perp protocol

Waiting to here from you guys which dex token is the best on your radar as we speak.

After all, they are all altcoins, and there is always a risk when investing in altcoins. Don't be fooled easily, they are taking advantage of the crash of FTX, and many decentralized exchanges are hyping things up, and if you are not alert, you will most likely become liquid for sharks. All altcoins are equally risky, I do not own any of the tokens you mentioned and do not intend to invest in these. Investing in altcoins, we should only focus on ETH, and layer1 projects will be more sustainable than these junk projects.
