2281  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would Bitcoin Survive A Nuclear War? on: December 13, 2022, 06:58:51 PM
Why on Earth people would use Bitcoin during a nuclear crisis? The first thing they will think about is survival. This means food, shelter, water, and clothing will be on top of everything else. As I've said before, Bitcoin will survive but not many people will use it because of the reasons mentioned before. I guess the BTC blockchain will be in a pretty weak state due to a reduced number of nodes and miners on the network.

I'm hoping Elon Musk or someone else launches Bitcoin nodes in space to help make the Blockchain immune from a full-scale nuclear war. These are uncertain times we're living into, so we should expect the unexpected. Just my thoughts Cheesy
From all the things that I have seen from games and movies, I can easily say that first of all I would not survive lol, there are way too many people around where I live, so I would die very quickly because one of them would kill me.

Secondly and more importantly, I am pretty sure that wager could be one of the most important ones, people are not aware how easy we got it, if you do not have the companies that does this properly, then we are going to have no clear water and that would be end of humanity, because that is by far the most basic need and without it we would die. In a world like that, I just thought maybe bitcoin is not even an issue in anyone's mind.

When the premier resume it's likely that the dynamic of some clubs will change their game probably due to the temporary pause of the league, some clubs that had started improving prior to the World Cup might start to struggle or find it difficult to continue with their fine form likewise those who are not doing well might up their game, club such as Arsenal will have to seek for an alternative to the injured Gabriel Jesus sidelined for three months, he had been crucial to their brilliant performance this season, Man Utd needed to move on after the departure of Ronaldo which I believe won't affect the club likewise other clubs.
This is all still uncertain because we also have to look at other possibilities because of course there are 2 possibilities that will occur whether they will be better, or worse than before.
As for whether Ronaldo's move affects or isn't clear, there will be a difference for Manchester United no matter what happens, but on the other hand, for other clubs, maybe there will be a slight difference if Ronaldo's news about one of the clubs in the EPL blows again, but things like this will be better this is not the case.
I am pretty sure that it wouldn't change much for them, they were trying to play without him before anyway, and they will continue to play without him. They have two good strikers, Rashford and Martial and these are not "enough" players for the time being, but they will have to do, and that means they are going to play as good as they can, Maguire is basically as good as gone too, Varane was injured but if he comes back then Maguire is definitely gone. They are looking at some striker and defender options.

Like for example get both Osimhen and Kim min jae from Napoli together, that would make them one of the elite teams all over again with all other 9 players in tact.

Morocco defenders will face a really huge threat. Mbappe being in the first place, players like Giroud and Griezmann are also going to be a big threat to them. These three players have been in a great shape lately. Actually Mbappe couldn't play like he wanted against England but it was still not a problem for France. Griezmann - Giroud duo put on a good show anyway.

Morocco can only try to have defend them in an area rather than trying man-to-man. They have been successful about this against some big teams so far. But I think this won't work against France for a long time.
I frequently remark that Morocco is a very lucky team; otherwise, they wouldn't have enough quality players to compete at this level in this tournament, but they are very fortunate and possess the best defenders. Mbappe, Griezmann, and Giroud are excellent players who consistently take advantage of their opportunities, whereas Morocco's attackers have a poor finishing rate. As a result, I anticipate France to win the game and put an end to Morocco.
I am not agreed with this statement because no one can go into last four just because of the luck you have to do things which are helpful for having better results, and also you need good quality and skills as well without these never been possible for anyone to have results like these they beat few top rank teams in the world which is also not possible just with luck you have to do hard work for this and surely this all needs quality and skills as well.

If you don't like any team surely it's your own mindset but calling consistently things like these i surely never been good idea as they are also representing millions of peoples from their country and now billions around African continent those are looking at them for having something big for this dark continent which never have any big event like this in their history.
2284  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So let's analyse bit of btc and crypto founders on: December 12, 2022, 06:53:40 PM
So you're saying Russia and the United States are collaborating on Bitcoin? I can't believe it in any case where they are financial or military ideological enemies. Where did you get the information? Do you have a source or are you simply expressing your own opinion? I would agree if you said the US created Bitcoin or the Russians created Bitcoin. But it won't be together anyway. However, you should learn more about Bitcoin's history and how it got started. Don't shill for something about which you're not fully aware. It will only result in more spam.
I think the main reason why the op said that BTC is funded by the US is because he always sees a US dollar when identifying the value of BTC but this currency wasn't alone actually. We can also measure the value of BTC by using a different currency. They only put US dollar on default because this was the most popular currency among all. Now for the part where he said that BTC is created by Russians. Maybe that was true?

Because. there's even a thread here which also questions if satoshi is a Russian. For the rest of us, we think satoshi is a Japanese because of its name. Oh well, all of this will remain to be as a speculation as long as there is no concrete evidence that have been found.

Injuries might not be a serious problem for PSG as it might be for Bayern Munich. PSG have really good squad depth when it comes to attacking options as they have Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Neymar, Draxler, and Angel di Maria in their squad. This means that the coach can rotate the squad even if one or two players are missing.
PSG have many better players than Bayern Munich but in many seasons we saw PSG got troubles when one or two key players missed one match in knock-out phase of Champions League. Moreover they failed too even with their best players and I believe that if PSG have some injured players by World Cup 2022, they will lose a lot of strength when Champions League returns. With burden of failed past seasons, they might be beaten by Bayern Munich.
Currently, both teams are level in quality and performance which is main point but what will be happened after two months it's still not predictable because things can change in any match with new injury or any other issue specially while we have January transfer window where many players will try to leave for the better future and as we all know Neuer is also out for Bayern Munich which is surely a big setback for them but still we have to wait for the updates Neymar is back and now doing his stuff for the preparation after the break and Messi and Mbappé are still in Qatar with their national teams.

With both teams are having good command in their domestic leagues we can expect good fight in Champions League even injuries and other things are still happening and can create problems for the both teams but still any team can win and go into quarterfinal of the Champions League.
2286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 12, 2022, 05:52:04 AM
Before the 2022 World Cup tournament took place, Liverpool's performance had indeed declined greatly. Liverpool looks like a mid-table team that makes the opponent feel they have no more vigilance. We admit and it doesn't sound ridiculous either because it's a fact.
We look forward to Liverpool's performance after the World Cup is over and the league resumes.

Then, we will also see how the club management is committed to improving everything including fulfilling Kloop's wishes in the January transfer market.
Liverpool are not like last season where they can show good things for competition, but not this season. Their decline was so pronounced that their trust in them changed drastically. I also want to see how they come back after this World Cup, there will be efforts made by Jurgen Klopp to restore the morale of his players so they can return to their best game.
Usually Liverpool management fully supports what Jurgen Klopp wants, but we'll see.
There is no doubt about Liverpool performance is on decline and there are many factors like Injuries or having some problem with strategy with some are insisting Sadio Mané is also key factor for this all but this is usual business for the clubs and the game of soccer Nunez entry is also not fruitful for them but now after world cup they need to work on their reappoints and have better results because if they fail to bring improvement then surely this is going to be big disaster for them.
 
Even Klopp is having full back of management, but these things can change drastically specially while change of management happen as they are looking for some better changes in coming weeks but surely with this improvement of quality and performance is also important because they already have few quality players those can bring good successive results for them.
2287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 11, 2022, 10:06:23 PM
The new round in the competition in Italy will start again on January 4 in 2023. Then we also have a game that is crucial for the championship, namely Inter Milan against Napoli. I'm curious how both teams came out of the winter break. If Napoli manages to win this match, Inter's backlog will become very large and it will no longer be possible to oversee it. They must therefore win in order to continue to have a chance at the championship. Furthermore, I do not see any top posters in this round, but that does not mean that the top teams in Italy will easily win these matches. Most Serie A players have not competed in the World Cup, so they have had a long preparation time.
First match after break between Inter vs Napoli is going to be vital for the both teams because things are looking challenging if Inter want to enter in title race then surely they need to win this match and if they are going to lose then surely this is going to be the biggest setback for them and their chances for the title race with Napoli which is already strong and have strong squad they are also looking for the increase in gape because things can change in Serie A very quickly which is nothing new but if they are able to increase their gape then surely this could be big advantage for them and their chance for win title in this season.

Right now we have Napoli, AC Milan, Juventus and Inter which are still in, but any change can occur and Lazio and Roma can also create drama even things are not easy for them but still drama can happen which will create good entertainment for the Serie A fans.

Indeed, gambling can be done anywhere and does not depend on the place usually used for gambling. But what @ OP said seems like no one has started it yet and if @ OP can make it happen, he could start a new and different casino trend.

But at first, it might seem strange because people have never met him before and it takes time to get used to the idea. And @OP should also think about the rules of gambling where he wants to open the place because if he breaks the rules, he can be punished.

You got it Sir, and you were also right in this matter. For OP to do this correctly and properly, he must have a permit from the local Government Unit, Because if OP didn't take action rightly, he can be arrested and punished because what he will do will be an illegal activity.

So OP should think about this carefully, or if the LGU allows him to operate it, there is of course compensation anyway, depending on whether the LGU will get share the percentage in this matter since he will be doing an online casino.
Before we play, it's important to do a background check first if a casino has a permit to operate so that we won't be penalized. Another danger of playing on an illegal casino is that they can be shut down unexpectedly and we can lose our funds inside them. When they already had a permit, they may still be required to give some payments.

I don't know if this is different from the tax but this could be beneficial for the economy as long as the officials on our country is not corrupt. This looks like a hassle for those who are planning to operate a same scheme like the op is planning about but this can be avoided if we are only going to operate all online.

Scams can be avoided most especially for the newbies if they won't engage on the real thing but first they need to take time to learn. They won't lose this way but it will only increase their potential of earning huge. I guess many of them are just too impatient, that is why these advices are hardly being followed. It's not true when you say that nothing is happening in regulation.

How will you explain those platforms that now requires a KYC? Regulations are actually becoming heavier now in this space to possibly prevent scams, frauds or cyber crimes in general. Cryptos are high risk not because of the scams but because of their highly volatile state/nature.

haha, Virat Kohli scored 9 and 5 runs in the first two matches. If Virat Kohli had scored more than 30 in these two matches, India would have been able to win. But Virat Kohli played very badly. The last match was not important for Bangladesh. Because they are series winners. It was important for India. Because being whitewashed against Bangladesh is very shameful for them.

Virat Kohli is a legend no doubt. He is an amazing player. But now he is not able to perform well for the needs of the team. I guess India management will look for Virat Kohli's replacement very soon.
Virat Kohli has poor run in last few years which is surely have bad impact on him, but now things are improving, and he is trying his best for having better results in coming months as India is now preparing for their home World Cup matches but still it's not easy because now they have a good number of youths and these all are doing good job which is surely good encouragement for them and with this hopefully they will be able to have good unit of players those will be able to have winning combination for them.

But, with this performance now Kohli can feel good and this could be positive development for the Indian team and Kohli both because with this century now many mouths are already shut and Kohli can look into future without any problem but still he needs to have some more improvement because playing at home in big event is surely never been easy for them.
2291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 11, 2022, 06:56:58 AM
I think at this point thirty million dollars is a lot for him as he has aged quite a bit. Although I think Manuel Neuer has left his golden days in the past. But I agree that injury has been a significant setback to his career at Bayern Munich. In my opinion, Sven Ulreich is not a suitable replacement for Neuer since he is not that good. I personally think that Bayern Munich should buy other players other than Ter Stegen. I think they should offer younger players.
With the quality that ter stegen had i think 30 mil is too low.

Even if ter stegen want to back to germany i doubt that barcelona would let him go despite there is a competition , stegen needed to get through a long journey at the rest of the barcelona season. Morocco goalkeeper yassin bounou who currently at the world cup and doing excellent job might steal the bayern attention , would be a perfect replacement.
Right now, with the sudden problem of goalkeeper for the Bayern Munich Yassin Bounou is the best choice for them because he is at Sevilla and having not more than 15 Million Price which is much better than Stegen who is currently at the Barcelona, and they will not allow him for this move and things are not good for the Bayern Munich as they are going to face PSG in coming month, and he can do better in Bundesliga as well where they are already at the top and have chance to stay at their current spot for long time even until end of the season.

Stegen is in Barcelona for many years and giving his best which is keeping alive his chances for the better performance and his price is also high even not problem for the club like Bayern Munich but surely with current form and availability most chances they will for the Yassin Bounou which is also at his best in last few weeks.

Such a dramatic finish for England!

First Kane's missing a penalty and later Rashford's missing the target by a slight margin by a free-kick...  England could have really carried this match to extra time. I still can't believe how Kane used the second penalty that much badly. He could have kicked the ball a little more gently like he did on his first penalty. Lloris was already not going to save that penalty anyway. I can't blame Rashford for not scoring the free-kick because it wasn't a bad shot. Maybe England should have used the same tactic Netherlands did against Argentina.

Congrats to France on this hard-fought victory!
If a team like England which have quality and skilled players lost chances like this surely they never deserve place into last four with the game which England lost today against France they dissevered to be at the top but missing changes and their poor finishing give them lost and now again they have to wait for four years for their next destination.

But, this was their best side for having spot into final which they lost things looking more difficult for them in future and their desired for the cup is surely going to be fettered even quality players like Kane and Rashford lost their golden chances, but this can happen in pressure games like these all about luck and match day performance so cognates to France and all other semifinalist teams for their spots.
2293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: December 10, 2022, 09:11:22 PM
The same criticism has also been felt by other players before the Ronaldo Era, fans always want something more for players who are considered to have better skills than other players. When the player can't live up to the fans' expectations, the criticism will come at him relentlessly.
Ronaldo can't play as well as he did when he was young, the age factor has made some appearances decline. I admit, the coach didn't include Ronaldo in the main squad when Portugal beat switzerland because his contribution was so lacking. The coach does not want conflict in the team, he prefers other reasons that are realistic than telling the public the truth.
Yes, I remember how many people called Rooney a fat boar in the last years of his big career. Not too respectful  Grin
But I think that this problem will come to naught, because after the World Cup, Ronaldo will either immediately end his career in the national team or play a little more (in the European Championship qualifiers) and end it a little later. And fanboys will find a new reason/victim for indignation.
A disappointing end for few players into World Cup with Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo both lost their respective matches and now out of the competition with the news around working Neymar is also thinking to quite national team after this defeat against Croatia Tite already resigned with Portugal lost against Morocco is also having big impact on their future with most chances we will have few changes in this team as well because they were not good and Cristiano Ronaldo's dream is also shattered.

With this all now things are completely changed because Neymar is back to PSG, and he is going to start again soon because now his next destination is Champions League title for his team PSG and Ronaldo is looking for his new home as things are not looking positive for him after having worst exit from Manchester United few weeks ago.

Something I recently learned, and something that has been a trouble for me for a long time. Sometimes, you should not care and let go. I know this sounds like the worst type of "investment" idea out there in the whole world, and definitely not something that I support doing in excess. However, we deal with money problems for so long that, someone I care about so much had some health problems and I realized we do not have too much time in this world.

So, spending less and trying to earn more, all of that goes to garbage can some days. I realized, in order to have a bit of fun, you should spend carelessly for just a short period of time. What this does is prevent you from going crazy and stop all together, save for 11 months, go crazy for 1 month, and keep doing that every year so that you would have something to look forward to.
2295  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will not become the world currency. on: December 10, 2022, 10:26:22 AM
For now yes it won't because there are so many countries who disallow it but who knows in the future maybe they will change their minds and start to realize that they should have allowed btc long time ago because it had some benefits which can help them or their people. There are countries who currently accepts btc as an asset an not as a currency but this is better than totally banning it. Many of us just treat btc as an asset anyway.

I think that's because they find btc too valuable to be spent away. Btc transaction fees can sometimes rise and then the transaction can sometimes be slow. This can be one of the reason on why they don't like to use btc as a currency.
2296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 10, 2022, 07:15:30 AM
For now, there is an improvement in Lazio's performance this season. They have become one of the biggest contenders of top 4. Immobile is also continuing to show a really good performance. Maybe he is getting old on one hand - 32 years old. However this doesn't affect his performance badly yet. He is one of the numbered strikers in this way. His contribution is still important for the team to be successful. Maybe he hasn't scored like at least the half of the total goals Lazio have scored in the league so far. But his stats are good enough comparing to the number of matches he has played.

Lazio's job is still very difficult of course. There are many other teams fighting for a spot in the Champions League. Lazio should just make a difference by being more successful in big matches. So far they haven't been like that in those matches.
We have five top teams which have good performance and can go for the top four spots with two are on decline even they were also on good run but sadly before break they lost their momentum and now struggling badly but now how things will go into next phase of the season nothing is clear because we have few issues with Juventus and most chances Inter will be improved in their performance for the chance of better spot even right now no team is clearly going to challenge Napoli for the title race.

Lazio is also good, but two defeats in last four matches give them some shock which needs to be settled because if they are not able to consistent then surely they can go down with AC Milan is also having not good things in near future because lack of funds is also hurting them badly which must for the quality players those can stand for them for their chance of title defense.

I guess Barcelona would be regretting and not happy for not qualifying in the Champions league and would not not want to perform the same way like they did in the Champions League.  Barcelona are in better form than Manchester United,  Barcelona already has a good player who is known for scoring goals in every match  which is Lewandowski. Barcelona would not want to have bad results in Europa league so they will try their best to be consistent in Europa.
Most chances they will be not regretting about this all as they are big club, and they will try to improve their quality and performance for the future instead of regretting about this all Xavi is doing amazing job, and they are on course of recovery as they were badly struggling for last few years right now they are at the top of La Liga and if they are able to carry on with this same attitude then most chances they will be able to win title and have good chance for doing better performance in next season.

Bringing few quality players and having good unit of quality players was their first priority, and now they are doing work on better strategy which will help them for having better results in all competitions for long run now for their better achievements we have to wait for their next match against Manchester United how their response in the Europa Cup after drop from Champions League.

Pakistan vs England, 2nd Test In this match Pakistan scored 107 runs in 28 overs. England scored 281 runs in this match. I think Pakistan will cross this run very easily. Pakistan batsman Babar Azam could not score 100 runs for a while in today's match. But maybe tomorrow.  Babar Azam will easily score 100 runs.
I have no confidence in the batsmen of the Pakistan team. Their performance is very erratic. I won't be surprised if Pakistan lose all the wickets in the first session tomorrow. Again I will not be surprised if Pakistan scores more than 400 runs in the first innings. Nothing is impossible for Pakistan. There are several talented batsmen in the Pakistan team. It is not difficult to score 400 runs on such a pitch if you can bat responsibly. Looking at the pitch, I don't think it is a bowling friendly pitch at all.
I agree, they are quality batsmen and bowlers but sadly still having not confident to play freely and give results like a unit in this test match format which is surely a big problem for them in last few years for this match even after end of first day things are looking good, but I have feeling England is in commanding position and their approach is also very aggressive which give them good response.

If they are able to have few wickets in first hour then surely they could be at top of the game and most chances they will be able to win this series by score of 3 - 0 because Pakistani selectors are doing experiments, and they are not going to have any positive output with these part-timer bowlers and batsmen they need five batsmen and five bowlers if they want to compete with them or have five batsmen with two all rounders are also good for them.

Now we have Babar Azam and Saud on crease hopefully we will have another entertaining day on Saturday and second day of this test match.
2299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 08, 2022, 05:33:21 PM
If you look at the main stars of PSG, Messi-Neymar, and Mbappé we will see that all three of them are going to go quite deep in the World Cup with their teams.

So, I think PSG might actually encounter a little bit of problems with the restart of the club competition.

I don’t know if you are aware that Messi is injured or not. But he is determined to give his full potential to the national team, it doesn't matter if he gets injured or not. I don’t know if he intends to take time off or not. But it doesn't seem unlikely that he will get injured.

Neymar already had an injury. He is playing for Brazil but I don’t think he has made a full recovery. I expect Neymar to take some time off after the World Cup. Mbappe will probably stay healthy because he is not that old. But he can be fatigued.
Most chances PSG will not have any problem if these all three stars will be not available for the first two or three matches after the break because they have enough strength for having win against their opponents into Ligue 1 without them even most chances all players will be available and give their best for the club but still they have nearly two months in start of Champions League and Ligue 1 is surely not problem for them even if they have just one or two players completely fit after the world cup.

There is no doubt Neymar will be not available after the end of world cup until he fully recovered but most chances Messi and Mbappé both will be on and give their best which is also enough for the club for retaining their top spot in Ligue 1 table.

Technically speaking it depends on the surviving amount of people. Nuclear war is something that may destroy all life on earth at a certain level, which means if there are no humans then there is no bitcoin, as well.

However, if there are enough people left, and if all of those people are not cancer ridden (nuclear war distributes radiation, which causes cancer) then one way or another bitcoin could survive as well if we can keep the internet going. Basically it all depends on the amount of people left, and how big is the war. That will decide on everything else and that will make sure that it will go smoothly afterwards, or just good old walking dead style or not.
