2061  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: South Africa Delivers the most Bitcoin-friendly Innovation on: September 05, 2022, 12:05:32 PM
I think Bitcoin is benefiting the  poor countries the most. The African countries like Nigeria and now Africa seems to be at the forefront of Bitcoin adoption and innovation. I think the main reason is purchase parity index value of daily Bitcoin earning in these countries are highest. Since their averege daily income is very low, a few dollars one can earn through Bitcoin is enough is give a lavish lifestyle in these countries.
In addition, the African point of view on Crypto including Bitcoin is very open. This makes it easier for people to know more. No wonder why Africa with all the conditions and limitations of the economy, food, and other resources actually motivates them to able to build an image of far-sighted thinking about technology. Despite all these obstacles, isn't this enough to motivate developed countries which are still silent about paying attention to digitalization. It is undeniable that we are in a changing transaction towards the digital era. Therefore, what Africa is piloting will be a consideration that every country can take part in being a part of Bitcoin adoption in the future.
2062  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / South Africa Delivers the most Bitcoin-friendly Innovation on: September 04, 2022, 01:47:15 PM

As reported from the Bitcoin Ekasi Twitter post I found children in Africa doing daily grocery shopping using Bitcoin. The child from Africa has been digitally literate since childhood, through Bitcoin Ekasi or often referred to as a non-profit organization has succeeded in creating bitcoin economic programs in various cities in South Africa. The organization partners with a company called The Surfer Kids to empower children from an early age to earn money. The most famous of the program is surfing training. As a result, the child will get a salary in Bitcoin. With the work that the child gets, he can spend Bitcoin at several vendors who have partnered with Ekasi.

The positive point that I take is that this kind of program stage is really effectively implemented. Where to introduce the world of Bitcoin by way of direct transactions. So that in the future they are familiar with the digitalization payment process.

In your opinion, how far behind is our country when in fact the government does not want or does not provide support for something like this to happen? if under the pretext of no financial control then how jealous we are of African countries which in the next 5 to 10 years will be at the forefront of digital transactions, especially Bitcoin for the younger generation.

There is a discussion that I think has sufficient knowledge quality to answer about how quantum computing works is Mr. Hydrogen. I think so far he has more knowledge than us. I think he will explain it to you very clearly. However, there are a few threads I think he could review that he created.

2064  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Bitcoin will always remain the best choice on: September 04, 2022, 12:42:30 PM
I need all three to be much more balanced. But for a larger percentage of ownership, Bitcoin is the choice. 50% for Bitcoin and for the rest I would love fiat and gold. Do not all three have the same strong drive in how the market works. Investing in Bitcoin for gold lovers is of course often not considered a hedge because of what they think is the type that can be seen. But for us having large amounts of money in Bitcoin gives us freedom of sole rights and cannot be owned by any party. Having a large amount of gold will continue to be monitored, as well as fiat which only makes you focus more on ownership taxes. While Bitcoin is loose
2065  Economy / Economics / Re: MONEY IS THE MOTIVATING FACTOR, what do you think? on: September 03, 2022, 11:50:47 AM
What's your take on this?
There will be many people who define money. In terms of value, the function of money has so many benefits. Motivating to encourage people to further improve their self-quality power and develop their potential to achieve financially as expected. But often money is made into a god as if they forget that money is also a double-edged sword. Make a person forget who he is. Why is money so motivating? because in this day and age without money will be an obstacle. I admit everything costs money but that doesn't mean money can buy it. Therefore there is such a thing as self-respect, in economics, it may not be too strange that in fact, self-esteem is the only controller so that money can follow you. Skill, quality, and knowledge make you have value.

Barcelona will get a win in this match because in my opinion Sevilla is not a very good team to beat barcelona, you have to make a full bet on barcelona in order to get a lot of advantages when they get a win, In this match Barcelona also have Robert Lewandowski who should be able to put to good use to score a lot of goals.
It is true that we will see Barcelona performance against Sevilla. On paper, of course, Barcelona is currently the favorite, especially considering that in the last 5 matches, Sevilla only won 1 time from Cadiz, which incidentally is still below Barcelona in all respects. Now it is possible that there will be a lot of goals that Xavi is targeting to get past Real Madrid and Real Betis points, which are only 2 points behind. Meanwhile, if Barcelona is able to play above 2 points or even more, they will benefit.

This is quite diverse depending on the target of a company in implementing working hours for its employees. Like textile factories and food and beverage, it will be much more time consuming. 7 to 8 hours per day if in a week they work 8 hours x 6 days. Productivity of working hours varies from country to country, but sometimes taking overtime makes employees spend more time at work in order to increase their monthly salary.

I don't see why some whales wouldn't buy it.
What the whales hope is perhaps at least under scrutiny to have a code to access the wallet to Bitcoin. Much more sophisticated technology. Instead of collecting gold in the form of Bitcoin, it does not mean they own Bitcoin. for collectors, this may be a coveted item, but for whales and investors, it is clear that what is being hunted is genuine Bitcoin that has fluctuating value and can produce. Isn't that quite reasonable? at an hourly price of $400,000, investors thought they could own a large amount of Bitcoin. With Bitcoin's current price of $400,000, we certainly have +20 Bitcoins. It's no surprise that neither whales nor Bitcoin investors is interested.

Real Betis have won all 3 matches this season. Despite performing against a relatively weak team, Real Betis' player's performance was stable. It is expected that they will be able to maintain consistency against Real Madrid. I would say this match is most likely to be a draw.
They are ranked 1st and 2nd temporarily. Their points are the same, but Madrid's goal difference is better. This match will be held at the Bernabeu. Holding Madrid's draw is not impossible, but I don't think they will play a draw. I think Madrid will win because they are at home. Other than that, looking at the game, I'm pretty sure Madrid won. In addition, none of Madrid's players were injured or even got a ban from playing. So I think Anceloti will play the best players there are.
It's true to say that Real Betis are stable. But their opponent now is better in every way. I don't think that Real Madrid will drop points. Indeed, the opportunity for Real Betis to draw Real Madrid is still open. But I don't think that Real Madrid will be that easy for them to endure. Real Madrid will definitely want to get their points away to secure their current position. Because this season they will work even harder to win the title.

Roma's main strength is the weakness of its opponents  Grin The big four (Inter, Milan, Juventus, Napoli) have already lost points 2 times and now everything is even more fun than last season when several teams went almost without losses for a long time. Under such conditions, Mourinho can achieve much more than the 5th place that Roma deserves if the strength of the teams on paper is taken.
Indeed, basically the more effective thing is to take advantage of the opponent's weakness. And AS Roma realized and did that, so they can hold and win the game so far. This is inseparable from the foresight of the coach, Jose Mourinho. Yes he always finds what it takes for the team to win. Because his football philosophy is not really that serious, but he is able to make it more interesting.

Manchester United's game looks more alive, their defense is working very well. They seem to have progressed game by game. It's just a matter of how they hone their attacking skills, from midfield and up front they still have some things to improve. But with the game now, I have more confidence in them to improve even more.
2072  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: September 01, 2022, 01:35:48 PM
What is interesting is that Manchester United are winless against Leicester City in the last 5 meetings. Although Leicester City were not very good at the start of this Premier League, their record meeting could be a whip for Leicester City to be able to make it difficult for Manchester United again.
What has increased confidence at Manchester United is how Martinez and Varane work in defence. This can be capital for them, especially if Casemiro becomes the starting line-up, it can add to the difficulty for Leicester City to penetrate their defense.
2073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 01, 2022, 12:55:04 PM
Teams like Dortmund and Leipzig would have improved their performances if they had brought in star players in their squads. And they would have been able to fight Bayern Munich for the title.
That's right, their chance to break Bayern Munich's dominance is actually still very open if they dare to make a big breakthrough. But I don't see that in most of the teams in the Bundesliga. In fact, I think they are quite satisfied with the fight for the champions league ticket or below. Neither team really intends to do that. But this is my personal opinion seeing how the Bundesliga is going.
2074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: September 01, 2022, 11:26:39 AM
Personally, I do think and believe Real-Betis will end up as a draw as both teams are currently in a great form and they both have a great start of the season so players won't push hard in order to get a random injury out of nowhere. Europe League and UCL will also begin soon so don't expect a lot of goals from this game but it will be an entertaining one to watch , that's for sure.
Unlike you, I still believe that Real Madrid will come out victorious in this match. I also believe that Real Betis will be able to put up a great fight, but I still see that Real Madrid are still too strong for them to resist. A slim win for Real Madrid is possible in this match, I predict it will be at least one goal difference.
2075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 31, 2022, 03:46:29 PM
Chelsea were not really prepared in their lost last night against Southampton or I should say they underrated the saith,
What happen yesterday was unexpected, I don't think Chelsea where not prepared, I think they under estimated Southampton that was why they lost the March, in the first half after Southampton scored their first goal which makes it 1-1, I personally was thinking chealse will be scoring like 2 more goals before the match will end, which at the end they ended losing the match. I think the match against Leeds United also was lost by Chelsea just because they underestimated, chealse performed well against leceister city even after receiving red card they still managed to win the match.
Chelsea's performance in this match did not go well. Their front line has not been able to provide a satisfying game color. I think this is the fruit of their delay in the last transfer market. Yes they did not find the player they really wanted. After failing with Lukaku and having to let him go now they also haven't found a forward who can get them into the game they hoped for.
2076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 31, 2022, 01:19:01 PM
Considering Leicester's recent performance, Manchester United should have won again in this match. They (Leicester) lost 3 times in a row and only got 1 point from their first game. This is an opportunity for Manchester United to get 3 points again. But again the level of consistency of Manchester United can not guarantee it. They still have a chance to be defeated.
I want to see what kind of line up Ten Hag will display in this match.

Cadiz 0 - 4 Athletic Bilbao

 Shocked

Cadiz was very humiliated in this game, in two games they didn't win any, I hope they are not heading to a scenario where they will fight not to be relegated, this will only make them play under a lot of pressure to avoid relegation

Well, La Liga has just started so it is still early to make this kind of predictions, but historically Cadiz is not one of the best teams by far, so, regardless on the result of the last match, the scenario you're foreseeing may be plausible.

Congratulations, btw, to Athletic de Bilbao for the deserved win. A different result for this game would not have been fair.
Cadiz is not a team that can be said to be good, last season they were also one of the candidates for relegation. Last season they finished 17th in the standings, just above Granada, who were in the relegation table. So don't be surprised if this season they are a team that has to fight to stay in the highest caste of Spanish football.
Now they occupy the bottom of the table without scoring a single goal from 3 matches.
2078  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 31, 2022, 11:43:04 AM
I don't think Chelsea will have a great season this year no matter what Tuchel brings new to the team and it's not his fault but Chelsea had a couple of years with great runs and completed by winning UCL so if you ask me , Chelsea might end up in what United was last year ...a top 6 team in EPL. Now , fans should not be so worried about team performance so far but if Tuchel somehow manages to refresh the mindset of some players , then , we might see Chelsea on a winning streak again or at least not losing points when victory was a must.
But they still have problems within the team that are currently insurmountable. They are weakly defended and blunt when attacking. Yes it's true these are only a few games they've played but if they don't finish this quickly they will fall behind a team that looks better prepared than they are. They have had some problems and it was made worse by their movement in the transfer market which was very slow.
2079  Economy / Economics / Re: Savings during inflation on: August 30, 2022, 02:32:08 PM
I don't know if turning your savings into cryptocurrencies might be the right decision. Maybe it will be in the long term. Unfortunately the high fiat inflation is combined with a "crypto winter" on the crypto markets. Perhaps after one or two years, those crypto investments will pay off, when the bull run hits the crypto markets.

It is true that the correlation between the two always has an impact at almost the same time. During inflation, the value of paper money is at stake as well as when the crypto market is affected by the withdrawal of investors to shift their assets to gold which is considered stable. But another alternative when inflation is Bitcoin can also be chosen. People feel reluctant to transfer assets depending on how we know inflation will be prolonged. There are two elements of investors who run to crypto and those who run their finances to gold. At the same time, gold is in the control of governments and banks while Bitcoin is in the hands of its owners. Therefore I think to take the proper steps then Bitcoin is the choice in times of inflation.

In order to strengthen their midfield, Paris Saint-Germain has begun negotiations to acquire Valencia's Carlos Soler from the Spanish LaLiga.

With only one year remaining on his contract with Valencia, the 25-year-old international from Spain is currently considered a crucial market opportunity by PSG.

After being promoted from Valencia B in 2016, Carlos Soler has played 225 senior matches for Valencia and has tallied 36 goals and 31 assists across all competitions.
It is clear that PSG has measured it because UCL preparations also need alternative players. It was clear that they were now targeting players with a good defensive character. Having lots of options gives PSG strength. But are the current players still considered lacking? when viewed from their performance playing in midfield is quite good.
