Any investment will have risk, the higher the return, the higher the risk. Regardless of your purpose for investing in bitcoin, I just want to remind you of one thing. Everything has risk and we need to diversify and not just focus on one thing. No one knows what will happen in 10 years, will bitcoin become much bigger or will it become useless? No one knows. So be wise with all your plans in life and always have a backup plan, don't be too greedy just because of what you see bitcoin achieving at present.
222  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are people still using bitcoin ATMs? on: March 08, 2024, 04:01:15 PM
Based on Bitcoin ATM installations growth, there's a slight decline in the last year, but it continue to rise until now. The demand should be high, if not there's no reason for them to open a new ATM machine.

But personally I didn't use it, I feel like it's not safe with my privacy and the fees is ridiculously high. I'd go for no KYC P2P instead, I don't have to go out and I won't need to pay fees as high as in ATMs.
Those who do not support the use of bitcoin ATMs because of privacy issues also do not support the use of bitcoin in payments, because that also causes them to lose their privacy. So how can bitcoin become more popular or popular and become a world currency? I'm not criticizing you but I want to ask those who are not willing to use ATMs or use bitcoin in public. Are they the ones who don't want bitcoin to become popular?
How can we ensure privacy when using bitcoin in public such as in payments?

Are investors investing in Bitcoin at ATH now are fools ?  Is there chance of major correction from here as prices have already peaked now.
They are not stupid and they also know the big Bitcoin bubble that just happened is not over yet. Their belief in Bitcoin is so strong that they dare to invest even though prices are soaring. Who knows, now Bitcoin has reached ATH or peaked this year. The price of Bitcoin is very difficult to predict, making them confident that the price will continue to soar high. Even though there is a slight correction, it is a market cycle that cannot be avoided.
Do they have faith in bitcoin or are they Fomo because the news is spreading about bitcoin on the internet? I'm not saying they are stupid to buy bitcoin at high prices but before buying they need to have clear knowledge and vision about bitcoin. They should not buy bitcoin with a Fomo mentality and know nothing about it because there is no guarantee that bitcoin will continue to go higher in the future, it is all just a prediction and everything is risky. We should always have a backup plan and not be too subjective, especially with volatile assets like bitcoin.

Atletico Madrid has actually fallen off in this season. They started performing well towards the start of the season and I thought this season they would actually be a contender for the title. But now they have created a big point difference with Real Madrid. But one thing is true that they can still go for the second position. Because they do not have a big point difference with the team that is in the second position. That difference is only four if I am not wrong. So it does make sense if they go for the second position. But they are not going to beat Real Madrid to the title race because they have already created a difference of 11 points with the league leaders Real Madrid.

Anyway, the next match of Atletico Madrid should be pretty easy because it is against Cadiz, a team which is in the relegation zone.

Good leaders and government policies set the stage for success by creating opportunities and stability. But at the end of the day, your personal choices and actions are a big part of your own success. It's like a teamwork between what's happening around you and what you decide to do

That's true. If a person is naturally good then he/she might be a good leader, but one can't be a good leader over a night, it takes time. The nature of a good leader mostly depends on the country's government rule and policies.

For example- You know according to CPI, Myanmar is the 14th most corrupt country in the world. It means most of the leaders are corrupted. They do not follow the government rules properly. They just think about their own well-being which is not right.
So in such a situation if any people come up with innovative activities and try to be successful those political leaders have obstructed their work, all civil people have to unite against such leaders.

The final match between these two teams, Netherlands vs Nepal, will be held today. Both these teams have hardworking players so I find it very difficult to make predictions about these two teams. Because these two teams faced each other in the second match and the fifth match, the wins of these two teams were equal. Which team do you think will win today's final match?

Netherlands set a target of 248 runs against Namibia. But in the next match against Nepal, Netherlands lost all wickets to collect only 120 runs. Nepal team won easily with a target of only 121 runs. But I don't think they will make the same mistake in today's match. The performance of the Netherlands players is erratic, but the team is not weak. They scored a massive 247 against Namibia. So I believe Netherlands can win against Nepal today.



At the end of 10 overs, Nepal managed to collect 88 runs after losing two wickets. Nepal's batsmen scored an average of 8.8 runs per over. Aasif Sheikh remains unbeaten with 40 off 29 balls. Rohit Paudel got out after collecting 25 runs off 19 balls. If the target is 180+ then the chances of Nepal winning are high. But if the target is less than 170, Netherlands will probably win today's match. However, the performance of the players of these two teams is very erratic.

Nepal team is slowly moving towards big collection. The team managed to collect 158 runs after 17 overs. In the last over, Kushal Malla hit three over boundaries off 3 balls. If he stays at the crease, maybe Nepal can collect 200 runs. But it is less likely.

As Nepal collected 158 runs in 17 overs. I guess the team will give a target of 185-190. And it's a big enough target to fight. The players of the Netherlands team are talented but their performances are erratic. It will not be easy for the Netherlands batsmen today to bat well on a big target, and batting responsibly at the crease. They have a lot of talented batsmen in their squad, but most of the players are inexperienced

Saving your money in Bitcoin will make you never to experience poverty from your life,
/.../

Im totally not dissing bitcoin and crypto; it can be an adventurous investment if that's your style.  But parking all your cash in an unpredictable digital asset might not be the savviest financial move if you're trying to climb out of poverty.  It's not exactly a surefire path to boundless wealth.  Consider squirreling some money away in a savings account too (I know, I'm a total killjoy) but gotta balance out the risk with some boring stability.

It's a terrible idea and it's not an investment, IMO. If someone puts all of their savings into bitcoin, they are just trying to gamble in the hope of changing their life quickly.

You're right, bitcoin is a potential investment but that doesn't mean it's risk-free. Savings may not earn interest over time and lose value over time but at least we can use them anytime when needed. As for investing in bitcoin, what happens if our investment loses 50%?

I don't understand why people like to put all their money into highly volatile investments like bitcoin and think it's good, while they always say they don't see bitcoin as a get-rich-quick tool.
228  Economy / Economics / Re: What did elon do wrong in Twitter on: March 04, 2024, 02:10:25 PM
In case some of you did not know: yesterday I learnt Twitter/X now allows people to call one another thanks to a new functionality in the direct messages, basically now Twitter/X allows people to use it to have voice and video conversations, that would be a good news for people who like to use Twitter/X. However, It has been discovered that those who participate in calls hostws on Twitter/X, get their IP addresses exposed to the rest of the participants of the call.
At first, I did not believe it was true, but it seems to be the case.

Honestly, I don't know how the team of Elon Musk would allow such thing to past through their quality control or their quality of code, in the case of being as bad as people says I would recommend all of you who use this social media to disable the option to receive calls in your private messages, otherwise, your IP address could become of public knowledge as soon as people decided to call you and you pick up the call.

Anyways, you all do your own research.  Sad
That feature was only recently developed, and while it's unacceptable, I think when they discover the problem, they'll fix it soon. In addition, X is developing many other features and utilities. It seems like Elon is turning X into a multi-purpose tool, not just a regular twitter social network.

What's more interesting is that 1 year ago, when he bought X and changed his name, many people criticized, laughed and thought he was sabotaging this social network. But then, the user base is still growing, X is growing more and more features are being introduced.

Sincerely the concept of savings has made some persons poor,but many won't realize the fact that saving don't make the difference but investing does.
 Am not saying saving isn't good, but my point is saving doesn't make one wealthy, the worst advice we recieve is  'save for tomorrow' but only few lay emphasis on the need to 'invest for tomorrow'.
So I would greatly say we invest some of our profits from bitcoin in to other stuff, than just holding it or using it for pleasure. The rare truth is how we believe bitcoin can change the game, so other systems are developing so we shouldn't be blindfolded.
Invest because savings doesn't increase or builds, investing is what gives you the life you want.
   Let discuss this guys..
  No matter how many bitcoin you hold you can still misuse the money, so we should understand the concept of Richness and Wealth.
 
Agree with OP that investing is more profitable than saving, saving only makes our money lose value over time. But investing doesn't just mean profits, it also comes with risks, and it gets riskier when you choose to invest in bitcoin. Have you thought what if you bought bitcoin for 70k 3 years ago and you need money in 2022 when bitcoin price drops 60-70% of its value? What would you do in that situation if you had no savings? Don't get too excited when the market is bullish and have the illusion that bitcoin will always bring profits without risk. It can be said that having an investment will give us the opportunity to change our lives, but never underestimate a savings account for emergencies.
It just depend on one's risk appetite. Some peopl are better living with savings alone simply because they are afraid to take the risk. They're more into assurance with situations or times they will be needing the money they are saving than to risk making it double or just more with investment.

Of course, it depends on each person's choice because each person has different living situations and perspectives on life. But it would be a mistake to compare saving and investing, and we only talk about the disadvantages of saving and exaggerate the benefits of investing. To be more fair, we should give the pros and cons of both so that people can have more realistic assessments and comments. I am a bitcoin investor and I prefer investing over saving but I cannot deny the importance of saving.

wow, Bangladesh versus Sri Lanka series coming up? I think it is definitely going to be very interesting. Especially considering the fact that these two are rivals. We all have been watching what has been happening between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in cricket. I think there will be obvious rivalry and things might get heated from time to time. It is going to start from tomorrow. Remember, the series will be played in Bangladesh. So Bangladesh will definitely have some obvious advantages, however odds prefer Srilanka. But the main target for both of the teams should be to improve for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

232  Economy / Economics / Re: Economy pressure on: March 02, 2024, 01:51:32 PM
How can a family man who earns 50k with 3 kids and also paying for rent feeds and many more, how can he with stand this economy pressure where there is no stability no mouthwatering salaries at all. This days we wake up and pray things should get better but it's like our country does not accept prayers everyday increments.
As I take the position of this story, we also have big questions about how and why we are in such an unstable economic environment. Honestly, this situation does not only happen in your country, in our country the situation is the same even though the country's economy is stable, but we all still have to work and cannot depend on government programs. It's bullshit if you continue to hope in top parliamentary officials because in reality they only want to save themselves. Poverty continues to soar job vacancies are increasingly difficult because they require official legality. Therefore personally we need to strengthen the people around us, especially our families, so that they can always support each other and try to maximize every opportunity that exists, even though the opportunity to make a profit is small, we must take advantage of it.

A country's economy becomes poor and difficult largely because the government of that country is still quite weak in leading the country. But I agree with you, we should stop whining and stop hoping for them, and save ourselves. I see many people just complaining and criticizing the government for their poverty while around them there are still some people who are living a well-off life. That's because some people stop complaining and find ways to save themselves while we just sit there criticizing without knowing how to stand up and take advantage of every opportunity to save ourselves.

Society is increasingly degenerating, politicians will become more and more corrupt and we will not be able to change that, so let's find ways to save ourselves instead of relying on them.
233  Economy / Economics / Re: Insurance is important on: March 02, 2024, 01:18:53 PM
Actually the more older we get, the more we need it and we realize it overtime. It may not be actually needed and necessary when we're younger.
But as we grow older, we are looking for protection that are going to protect not just our wealth but also the financial situation of our loved ones.
That's the purpose of insurance and even if you want to have an additional income but when you're older, your actions are limited so as the opportunities.
Your advice is not bad for this, but for now I am also very aware of this so I have also made a plan to one day create insurance that can protect my wealth and also protect the financial situation of the people around me. I'm like in my family. However, for now it seems like I don't need this because I am still very capable of working and earning additional income so I am trying to postpone that plan for now and save it well to use again when I really need it.

While we are strong and capable to do everything we like then there's instances that we can really think that there's no need for us to have an insurance since we are young and just think about we are wasting our money for that.

But once there's something bad happen to you while doing your daily task outside or even at your workplace then you don't have enough savings to pay your hospital bills for sure you provably would regret that you didn't get these insurance. At current condition where to many unsure things we can experience in life its better to have insurance so that we are fully prepared for the worse and some resource for our hospitalization.

Life insurance is not as good at least where I live. My employer has a compulsory life insurance subscribed for me and that's the only one in my family. Many agents do approach us for a life insurance but I have forbade every of my family member to take one. This all agent thing and the large commission they are paid turns it into a scam type business and the x2 return on early death is not so promising as there are better investment options.
I have a third party insurance for my vehicle which again is a compulsion, I would have not taken it if possible.
Health insurance is what I'm interested in and this is where it's difficult to get a balanced option. My parents are getting older and there are no good options that provide overall health insurance for them. There's one government option that is too bureaucratic that the hassle to get your bills paid are much greater than the bill itself.

Many people have misconceptions about life insurance. Life insurance, in addition to bringing us commissions when we get old, insurance companies will connect with a number of private hospitals with high-quality services. This means that when you have an accident or incident and are treated at those high-end hospitals, life insurance will pay part of your hospital fees. This is something that state health insurance cannot do. Health insurance is only used in state hospitals and the quality of state hospitals cannot be better than the quality of private hospitals. Frankly speaking, life insurance is a good thing but many people don't like it because their income cannot meet it.
234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: March 01, 2024, 05:50:45 PM
The title winning odds for top 3 favourites are like below:



Milan are also given quite much chance for winning the Europa League title after dropping from the Champions League. Bookies must be evaluating it by considering the squad strength as well. But when it comes to performance I don't trust Milan much to tell the truth.  Sad  They aren't very reliable in the Serie A. I can't say they were impressive in the Champions League either.

Would you expect Milan to start playing better here despite not doing it in the Champions League where they could have made more money?

They're not consistent with the Italian Seria A,. Not to talk if they're serious about overtaking Juventus in the Seria A Standing. But whenever it comes to the Champions League Competition or any of these European Competitions.
They're known to be good fighters in this European games. I would not be perplexed to see them progressing to a far extent in this Competition.

They should have qualified for the Champions League Competition but they couldn't make good use of the little chances they had to prevail over Borrussia Dortmund and Paris Saint Germans.
They would definitely improve but if you judge them from thr last game they played in the Europa League knockout stage, you won't want them to go far.

AC Milan is not a weak team. They have a stable squad. They have a lot of talented players in the squad. The team's performance in Serie A has been somewhat erratic. The team is not able to maintain the consistency of good performance. The team has no chance of winning the Serie A title. And this is why Milan will try their hardest to win the Europa League title

Liverpool and Leverkusen seem to be the favorites to win the Europa League title. But Liverpool are competing for the FA Cup and Premier League titles. The Europa League title is probably the third priority due to Liverpool. On the other hand, Milan will try their best to win the Europa League title. But which team will be the champion cannot be predicted for sure yet. There is still a long journey ahead.
235  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can we see BTC at ATH before the year ends? on: February 29, 2024, 01:27:47 PM
I've watched BTC go from 23k to 52800 currently and with reports stating BTC outflows from exchanges rising to 8months HIGH, do you think BTC will hit ATH this year?
https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/65db377c13c6094f48999ba4/
Different opinions and predictions are circulating in the market. Some are optimistic that Bitcoin will cross the previous all-time high before the end of this year, and some say it isn't going to happen. If you ask me, I would say that we still have about 9 months for the year to end, and we can see that Bitcoin's uptrend continues with a slight delay in the middle which indicates positivity in the months to come, however, unpredictability of the market cannot be questioned on the other hand.

We are happy seeing Bitcoin heading towards $60k, a couple of days later, we might see it heading towards $40k again, that's how unpredictable this market is. So nothing can be said really, I somehow feel that it might happen, but I'm a bit worried about a healthy correction anytime soon.

Agreed that it's all speculation and nothing is certain when discussing the future but I think with what happened yesterday and bitcoin hitting the $64k. This means that the distance to the old ATH is very small so it is entirely possible that bitcoin will reach a new ATH soon this year. But the question is after bitcoin makes a new ATH, will we enter the bull season sooner as expected, or will bitcoin be dumped again?

By the way, do you think today bitcoin will break $69k and make a new ATH? Just like what bitcoin did yesterday, bitcoin skyrocketed to $64k in everyone's surprise. I will not rule out this possibility.
236  Economy / Speculation / Re: 60k possible before end of this month? on: February 29, 2024, 01:00:53 PM
From the look out of things there is no doubt that $60k is sure before the end of this month February reason being that bitcoin has surpasses the price of 50k and headed to $52k if I am not mistakenly and you can correct me if I am wrong. 
Also does this proves the idea of most people saying that bitcoin could hit half a million dollars after the halving by 2025, does this sign proves it right?

Let us discuss.

I don't see $60k anytime soon due to how poor the market movement have been in past few weeks since after hitting $50k. It has been from $50-52k and it doesn't look like it will even get to $55k before the end of this month and I feel that this month has given us what it can, who knows by next month we might see a rapid raise of Bitcoin price but not in this February ending.

For me, the market is doing very well in the past weeks but it's not as bad as you think. Although bitcoin has not had a breakout in February, it remains in the 49k-52k area and with it bitcoin dominance is trending downward. That means it is giving way to altcoins and you can also see that after ETH crossed $3k many altcoins are doing well again. The market is still very stable for people to seek profits, but money flows continuously move into different ecosystems. So people with knowledge and experience will make a lot of profit during this time.

As for bitcoin, I think there will be no breakout this February, but before the halving, bitcoin will have some good growth and there will be a post-halving correction.

Honestly I never expected the market to be this slow in terms of movement but I'd say is not that ok to me in the sense that we have been on this same amount $50-52k for the last 2-3 weeks and with how it has being moving in the last 4-5 months,  to me is like it will never get past $52k till the end of this month unless February has never been a positive month in Bitcoin history or records.
I'd agree with you that many users are making profit with how the price of Bitcoin is at the moment and coupled with the fact that things are back to normal I feel business has come back to that productive state but it would be better if the price continue to hit forward till we get past $52k to $60k.

Bitcoin is not a get rich quick tool, you cannot expect bitcoin to increase 10-30% every day. Do you see any asset growing faster than bitcoin? It's funny how many people always say that bitcoin is not a get rich quick tool but they quickly get disappointed when bitcoin doesn't increase in price for a few weeks or months. Moreover, we have held bitcoin throughout the 2 years of the bear season without a single complaint, why are we suddenly sad now just because bitcoin has not increased in the past month?

However, bitcoin is trading above $62k, I think you can be happy that what you expected happened.

Nottingham Forest v Manchester United
Nottingham Forest StartXI: 4-2-3-1
Matt Turner; Neco Williams; Felipe; Murillo; Harry Toffolo; Ryan Yates; Danilo; Anthony Elanga; Morgan Gibbs-White; Divock Origi; Taiwo Awoniyi
Manchester United StartXI: 4-2-3-1
André Onana; Diogo Dalot; Raphaël Varane; Victor Lindelöf; Sofyan Amrabat; Casemiro; Scott McTominay; Antony; Bruno Fernandes; Alejandro Garnacho; Marcus Rashford
Here we go again, can Manchester United make a win out of here for the second game play without Rasmus Højlund?
So far it's been a draw for the first half of play and that's the problem with this Manchester united team, the matches you expect them to win they actually squander the game and the ones that looks unbelievable those are the ones that they do win and I will for one not be surprised if Manchester united can actually give away this game to the Nottingham forest because that's what they do best.
Although Manchester United is a strong team, their performances cannot be relied upon. .The performance of this group is very erratic. And so I refrained from betting on this match.
Manchester United probably won't win today's match. At the end of 85 minutes, they could not score any goal. The match is now in a goalless draw. But the performance of Nottingham Forest players is surprising me. I thought the team would probably play a defensive strategy. But Nottingham Forest players are doing a lot of attacking. They have taken a total of 16 shots so far, 5 of which were on target. On the other hand, Manchester United players made 19 shots. Of these, 6 were on target.

Casemiro saved Manchester United in the end. Casemiro gave the team the lead by scoring in the 89th minute of the match. Manchester United is now leading 1-0. Manchester United will probably win the match 1-0.

I am very disappointed with Manchester United's overall performance. The players of Manchester United got the opportunity to score several goals. But the team missed the easy opportunities. The performance of the attacking players of this team is poor. Hojlund is not with the squad. Manchester United need an experienced striker. This team does not have an experienced striker who can consistently score goals. Bruno Fernandes, Antony and Casemiro's performances were good today.

Karachi Kings vs Islamabad United

I checked the scoreboard of PSL Karachi Kings vs Islamabad United match. These two teams are not in a good rhythm now. Karachi team can't bat well today. In 20 overs they were able to give a target of 166 runs. It doesn't look like enough to win on this batting friendly pitch.

Islamabad has talented batsmen like Munro, Hales, Sadab Khan, Agha Salman, and Azam Khan in the squad. Islamabad is more likely to win. Despite winning the previous two matches, Karachi are likely to lose in this match.
It's seems that Islamabad United going to win today's match currently Islamabad United team looks very comfort and on the others and Karachi kings look under pressure. Islamabad United team batsman are doing really great performance today I think they will easily can touch the target today. Currently Islamabad United team at 130 run and they have lose their only one wicket. Sotey have more 9 wicket in hand to go. And they need only 36 run from 36 ball to I think today it is confirmed that Islamabad United team going to win.
Islamabad won the toss and first decided bowling. Karachi king batsman makes 7 run in 2 over and Islamabad no any wicket against Karachi king batsman. This is no good started for Karachi king batsman. Islamabad bowler out the Karachi king batsman in the fourth ball of the 3 over. This is the first achievement for Islamabad bowler. Once time again Islamabad bowler out the Karachi king batsman in the fourth ball of the 8 over. Karachi king batsman makes 73 run in 10 over and 3 outs. Karachi king batsman are not working hard and struggle and can not make run. Karachi king batsman makes 165 run in 20 over and 5 outs. This is the target for Islamabad batsman. This is the easy target. Now let's see Islamabad batsman can complete this target or not.

Islamabad United got an easy win with the help of the two openers. The team collected 108 runs from the first pair. Colin Munro scored 82 runs from 47 balls and Alex Hales scored 47 runs from 35 balls. After that, Islamabad United easily reached the goal of victory with the help of Agha Salman's 17-ball 25-run innings.

Today's pitch was batting friendly. Karachi Kings batsmen batting was weak. The team batted very slowly. They were able to provide a target of 170 runs. Had the target been 180+, the match would have been a bit more competitive. Also the bowling of Karachi's bowlers was poor today. Every bowler except Mohammad Nawaj gave plenty of runs.

Those two games you mentioned Sporting vs Atlanta and Marseille vs Villarreal will be very difficult, I need to see the odds because I haven't seen them yet, but I don't know if I'll bet on a simple win or on qualification
Maybe I'll bet on goals, which I don't usually do, but it might be more advantageous than trying to get the team to qualify or a victory

It is very difficult to make predictions about these two matches and betting is also very risky. First, in the match between Villarreal and Marseille, these two teams are equally strong. The performance of both the teams is erratic. So it is very difficult to predict which team will win. However, we are seeing an improvement in Villarreal's performance in recent times. Villarreal has a chance to win against Marseille.

On the other hand, both Sporting and Atalantqa have strong squads. We will probably see a lot of goals in this match. Because Sporting's attack is very strong. The team is able to win almost every match in Liga Portugal by a big margin. Sporting scored 63 goals in 22 matches in Liga portugal. Atalanta's attacking players will also need to perform well if they want to win against such a team.

^^ They are collapsing like a house of cards so hardly any opportunity missed for the Irish.

Seamers are just feasting on Afghans. Set batter Ibrahim Zadran was looking good from one end but now he's too sitting in the dugout and will watch their inning wrap up quickly.

Zardan is gone after scoring 53 runs and the tail-enders are now batting. Afghans are nowhere near the 150, they are at 111 runs with 7 wickets gone. Is this test cricket being played or T20? The Afghans do have a few good bowlers and hopefully, they might be able to defend a low score. Ireland bowlers have done a good job in getting hold of the Afghanistan batters. 

After a poor performance against Sri Lanka, I thought the Afghanistan players would return to form against a relatively weak side, Ireland. But in today's match the performance of the team's batsmen is more weak. And we didn't expect such bad batting from Afghanistan players at all.

Afghanistan lost 7 wickets to collect only 111 runs. Apart from Ibrahim Zadran, no other batsman could bat better. Zadran was dismissed for 53 runs. But Karim Janat is still at the crease. He is an experienced batsman. If karim plays a big innings, maybe the team can collect 170-180 runs. But I would say Afghanistan are more likely to lose all their wickets before 150 runs.
