2581  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto in war ukraine and russia on: March 06, 2022, 08:55:43 PM
The war going on in Ukraine not only has an impact on the crypto market but also has an impact on the world economy because Russia is the largest oil supplier in Europe, and sanctions imposed by many countries such as the UK and France are making things worse. especially now that the war in Ukraine has also spread to the world of football and Russia is in danger of not being able to play in the world cup which will be held in Qatar. Many crypto investors are from Russia and even the inventor of ETH is also from Russia, if the blocking really happens it will certainly have a bad impact on the crypto market. I just hope the war in Ukraine ends quickly and doesn't spread to the crypto world.
It's okay if it had an impact because the impact is not only negative but it also has a positive impact because it allows them to realize how important crypto is, during that situation. Aside from the oil, Russia is also said to be the biggest supplier of metals that is used for chip making, the one that is used by computers and gadgets. This is going to affect both industry.

The sanction that  are given to Russia is wide that even the sports or the athletes are also affected because they are now banned in competing to other countries. I don't think there is a blocking of cryptos in Russia but in fact Russians now were encourage to donate some cryptos in Ukraine because they are also against this war.

your bitcoin would be inaccesible since bitcoin requires internet and a mobile phone. You could no longer exchange it for goods and services or physical currencies. The only thing you can do is to move out to another country where there is no conflict in order for you to survive, or just seek some help.
It surely requires internet but you can use any device not only a mobile phone as long as they support internet and they have a browser in them. Why would you move to another country when you can just wait for the war to end because they are going to restore the internet after that.

Traveling to another country can be a hustle and can cost you more but it can be worth it if you have relatives there and if you are going to do other business and not only by finding an internet connection only to access your coins. I heard on the news that Elon Musk has provided starlink to the Ukrainians for them to connect to the internet. that should keep them going.

Today was a good day for saint etienne and troyes they both won against two of their relegation contenders teams bordeaux and metz things are not looking good for these teams they are not able to win games i think with today score their chances are slim to stay in the ligue 1.
Few weeks back Saint-Étienne were the worst team in French League but suddenly change of things giving good results to them, and they are out of relegation zone even it's still not safe zone for them as they have some tough matches in coming weeks which is not good for them but good thing all relegation zone teams having not good enough gape in points which can give them some interesting competition until end of this season.

Still, few teams are doing good after having very bad start, and they are trying their best for staying into good hunt for better spots in league table because it's near end of this season which need some improvement currently just PSG is having safe zone all other teams are still doing good work for their spot.

The address shared by the Ukrainian twitter handle is probably safe but I can't say anything for the other one. That wallet very well might  belong to a terrorist group in the middle east. I wouldn't send my precious bits to some unknown address blindly. Do your research first. I am not saying the OP is a liar or a scammer though sometimes people help the scammers without knowing it.

Also be careful if you are Russian and living in Russia. Putin will not like this action of yours if he finds out. (helping the enemy)
The OP posted a wallet address together with a website. I tried to check the website to see if they have the same wallet address but I can't understand a thing as it was written in a different language and I'm also using a different browser with no auto translate. He also said that it was from the biggest charity in Ukraine.

You guys can google it out to see the records of the site if it was legit but if no other details found then its safe to doubt because anyone can create a new website and put convincing details there. If we want to donate we can use the address that is posted in twitter as it's more secure. We can use some kind of a VPN for extra protection if ever we are from Russia.
2585  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paying with Bitcoin where there's rush on: March 06, 2022, 10:58:18 AM
Bitcoin is used for crime and it'll scare a lot of people away from accepting bitcoin just like the teenager Op called out that got a negative response. Actions like the one stated in your story won't help the adoption of bitcoin globally. And they had the money in BTC but, they deceived the vendor because he can't wait and if they were allowed to wait they will order more drinks. I don't know the level of the Vendor in crypto but, he would have suggested that they sell the bitcoin to a vendor that will send fiat to his Bank account.
The best thing that the owner of the bar would have done is to ask them to stay back until their transactions has been confirmed at least three times. I guess maybe he’s someone who doesn’t have a clue as to how cryptocurrency works.

This is his business, so it shouldn’t be something that he should play around, you don’t go around and just hop into a bar to drink and insist on paying with Bitcoin when you know for sure that isn’t normal. So, the vendor made a mistake by letting them go, he should have insisted on either getting paid in cash or they will have to wait till their transaction gets three to six confirmations before they are allowed to leave.

If they had the time to sit down and drink as much as they want, then they should as well have the time to wait for their Bitcoin transaction to be confirmed. If they refused, then he had right to call the police and get them arrested.
2586  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price stay above $40000? on: March 05, 2022, 09:58:07 PM
Unfortunately today's market drop again so the price of Bitcoin is under $ 40k which is $ 38K, many analysts are convinced that the Red Market will occur throughout the year 2022, even sure Bitcoin prices will drop below $ 25K, but I think Bitcoin always has the opportunity to recover and skyrocket again so I'm not worried even though the market is dropping.
These type of drops (small ones) tend to be fragile and not really have a long term impact. This doesn't mean that it will skyrocket back up again, but it certainly doesn't mean that it will go down more neither. Usually when bitcoin goes down, it goes down a lot, we lived through those days a lot, we all remember how it could go from 50k to under 40k in a single day, or even hour. So when you are at 41k to 42k or so, and drop to barely under 40k, that doesn't really tell me anything.

I personally hope that we will do better, but it will probably take some time before it goes there. So, we just need to wait and see but meanwhile get your cash ready for a drop, and your stop loss ready as well.

I'm really glad to see that Newcastle have improved their performance a lot by the beginning of the second half of the season. They haven't lost any league game for literally seven weeks. This is a really big achievement for them after starting the season too badly. They are still close to the relegation area though but they will get away from there as long as they keep up the good work. And today, there is a tough game waiting for them against Brighton home. The odds of the teams are the same now. They are given an equal chance to win here but I still believe in Newcastle not to lose.
That is a bit because they were one of the highest spenders of this winter transfer window. They spent 42 million on Bruno, 30 million on Chris Wood, 15 million on Trippier (got injured though) another 15 million on Dan Burn and got Matt Target on loan. That is like 100+ million on just winter transfer window and none of them are superstar players that we all heard about. That is how they have 5 wins all season but 4 of them came in the last 5 games.

When you spend 100+ million on transfers, you get better obviously. Give that to Norwich and I guarantee you even after most of the league is over, they can still get out of the relegation zone, it is all about money.
2588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 05, 2022, 08:52:24 PM

If you say that Australian bowlers performed badly because they were afraid and conscious about the security, I think it is straight-up dumb reason. That's probably the best security that could ever be given to a cricketing team. I think the actual reason is the pitch doesn't seem to be helping the bowlers at all. Right now Pakistan has declared their innings for 476 runs and Australia is still trailing by 471 runs.

Just wait for Australia batting before we make a final judgement about this test match. The pitch is grassless and there is hardly anything for bowlers in this pitch. I am very much sure the Australia will score as much runs as Pakistan scored. And not to forget clouds have already approached Rawalpindi cricket stadium.
I am watching this match and after end of two days feeling very bad because I was not expecting tactics like this from PCB they have done terrible thing and prepare a slow pitch for very entertaining and most wanting series opener now most chances Australia is also going to have some good batting practice in this match because there is nothing for bowlers it's all on batsmen they have done mistake and give wicket.

Today if visitors able to stay all day then surely no result, and it's all end in a dead match so hopefully after this very poor result they will try to have some better and supportive wickets for next matches because with this most chances fans will not give any try, and they will try to avoid next matches as well right now peoples want something very entertaining and their start is creating very bad environment for next matches of this series.

Fulham leads till this moment, the score remains two zero.
Goals from Kebano N and Wilson H
Stats shows they're the best side with the best chance created and attempt.
Fulham won 2-0 against Blackburn and now o most sealed the deal for that first place and continues to dominate with how good they are playing honestly. They got a premier league team,they are so offensive that i think other teams pray that they dont receive 4 or more goals in their matches against Fulham.
Fulham was good in last few seasons but sadly due to some worst start of last season they relegated into Championship and now again going into Premier League with some better quality hopefully for next season management will do some better strategy after them Bournemouth is also had very strong case for qualification into Premier League because they have 4 matches in hand, and they can take some good lead from their opponents for second spot even Huddersfield is also doing some good in last few matches.

At bottom Derby is really in serious trouble as they have ten matches in hand to survive and for me, it's look like they are running for mission impossible and nobody can save them from relegation in this season with this they could be worst for some next years.

there are many things on the web that can be easily taken to learn how to trade cryptocurrencies. and as far as I know Binance makes a lot of trading tutorials.
I myself to this day take a lot of trading knowledge from youtube videos but for beginners you have to be very careful because not everything you see and hear is something you should follow, you need to do a lot of research yourself before starting anything.
We need to be careful and not just follow every random tutorial that we see on the web because we don't know if what is their intention but a lot of them are only trying to mislead the people or to pick up a wrong coin but that's nice to know that binance now offers tutorials I think that is because so many newbies are choosing them because they are popular and known to be reputable. Much better if we stick to them if we don't know where to trust.

On our forum, we also have trading sections here and also beginners and help section, we can also rely on it. Youtube and other unknown source can only come next by the time we have learned something.

Now is the crucial moment to show if your theories make any sense, because Russia is now in a situation where it will have more than enough resources to mine Bitcoin, and sanctions have no effect on them if we know they can import mining devices from China. But I still think that the earnings and all the other benefits of such an operation are quite insufficient for the situation in which that country finds itself.

Besides, do we want this to happen at all, given what is happening in Ukraine? I can already see the headlines screaming from all the front pages "Putin uses Bitcoin to avoid sanctions". Do I even have to say what would happen next?
It does make sense because oil can generate electricity and this should run the miners. Iran right there have found a way on how to keep up with the sanctions so chances are, Russia will do the same thing. They are lucky that china is their ally because china almost have the items that they need for them to keep going.

The earnings might look small but that is better than nothing at all. At least that can still help them while waiting for the sanctions to end. Some don't want this for some reasons but I think the majority of bitcoiners like it as this can somehow remove the issue about the btc mining and mining would be more legal now.

Huddersfield is already leading 2-0 in what it seems it is going to be an easy win for them.However when I checked the standings I saw that the team ranked third has 5 games less than them and they are now just 1 point behind Huddersfield so it will be difficult for Huddersfield to qualify directly in the Premier Ship this year but they have high chances to play the play off stages and try their luck there.Their recent form shows they are in the good run with 2 draws and 3 wins (if they win tonight).
Huddersfield still leads 2-0 this win would give them a huge boost but with Bournemouth with 5 games that they havent played i think Huddersfield wont stand a chance for the second place but they should at least try and anything can happen. While Peterborough with this loss will be dead last and probobly relegated
Now with today result most chances Peterborough will relegate to League 1 because now they have no chance to survive here in this league, and they are doing very poor tomorrow we have another match between two teams both are very strong for relegation because now points gape is widening and Derby and Barnsley both running out of time for staying here in Championship.

For top spot and staying into play-offs we have few teams doing good specially Fulham is on top of their form and most chances they will promote without having any play-offs for other team it's going to be very tough fight with Bournemouth is hot favourite but still something can happen with few teams are giving their best and Sheffield Utd and Huddersfield but advantage is with Bournemouth and most chances they will also promote without having any trouble.

Although lose against Lille last weekend but basically Lyon performance quite impressive lately because during this year they can able to defeat Marseille and draw against PSG and today against Lorient i think they will get full points from it and i had decide to putting my bet on them
Even though Lyon has been bad, I would give them benefit of the doubt in this game. I mean we are talking about Lyon here, sure Lille beat them but they are last year's champions and 8th in the league. Whereas Lorient is 16th in the league and that's why I would expect Lyon to beat Lorient. Mind you, I do not mean like "easily", Lyon earned as many points in the last 5 games as Lorient did, 7 points in 5 games for both teams.

So, do not imagine that I am saying Lyon is "much" better, all I am saying is that there is a clear different and that's all. Assuming with that clear difference, I would expect them to actually win this game one way or another.
2594  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: March 03, 2022, 08:46:22 PM
I projected Away to win the match because I am confident in Atlatico Madrid's ability to win now that they have regained their form. According to statistics, Atlatico Madrid won four and drew one of their past five matches against Real Betis, thus even though Betis will be playing at home, they will find it tough to win because Atlatico is fighting for third place to prevent Barcelona from passing them.
I don't think Atletico Madrid are back in form. Atletico Madrid have seen a unstable performance throughout the season. Two weeks ago, Atletico Madrid conceded four goals against Barcelona. Don't think the Real Betis team is weak. In my opinion, Betis is stronger this season than Atletico Madrid. And this is Real Betis' home match, so my bet will be for Real Betis.
In head-to-head matches Atletico Madrid is very good but with current form both teams are level in all way but Betis is playing this match at home which is good advantage for them this is very crucial match for both teams as both looking for higher spot which is very important for them after very good comeback from Barcelona now it's very important for them to win this match and keep their hopes alive until end of this season.

Now Barcelona is already at fourth with one match in hand and this match's results is now also very significant for them because now they can settle at third spot and team which lost this match surely going to at fifth spot which is the worst case for Betis as they were very good in all season and still have very good performance as right now they are playing against Rayol Vallecano in Cope de La's semi-final for place in final against Valencia.

After this event, we will see if they are successful in handling this type of award in Oscars.
They will also see if it is worth to hold an award voted by the community.
As of now, I haven't seen any sportsbook giving a betting line for this fan-favorite film of the year via twitter.
Only the regular categories are included in the Oscars' betting lines.
If this is successful, how will you guys react? will you love it to continue this way or not? right now I'm seeing mixed opinions, some are interested with this type of voting but others are skeptical with it but to me, I can accept whatever will be the outcome. Even if we have a doubt, it was still nice to see that they are now taking the voting to the next level.

I guess the reason why most sportsbooks don't have it is because this was still new and they themselves are also confused if it's a good move to adopt it or not. They need to observe things first. Twitter being centralized can be a good thing because they can monitor fake accounts.

Lakers definitely deserves to sit this one out. I mean it is clear that they are not good enough to matter during playoffs. So why would they work themselves harder and play in the playing tournament and then maybe get lucky and be in the playoffs first round and play 4 more games just to get swept? Just take an early break, stay away from the playoff this year and figure things out during the summer. It is clear that they are not going anywhere meaningful with this team.

Westbrook is HORRIBLE, AD is gone all the time, and Lebron can't do anything all by himself anymore. I still think Lebron is good, he is not bad at all, he is great, but not good enough to carry a team of role players to finals anymore, it is not that lebron anymore.
2597  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: March 02, 2022, 08:14:59 PM
I think big mistake made by FIFA if have final decision to banned Russia from world cup play off qualification and Spartak Moscow have out early before competition begin on EUFA Europe League, I think why not FIFA made the same thing with Israel team national country why not banned by FIFA because keep active until right now invasion war to Palestine, still have active on UEFA competition allowing by Israel team.
There is a danger that this might be actually the beginning of the end of a FIFA that includes the whole world. In the future, with any military or political conflict there will be people asking: "But you did this with Russia. Why aren't you doing it now?" If the FIFA permanently adopts the Western viewpoint they might be seen as a political institution by other countries who then withdraw from it alltogether. I hope this won't be the case as it would hurt everybody: the sport, the athletes, the spectators, ...
I would guess that getting every single nation out that attacks another nation is a good decision to have. Only if they actually follow it up, because we all know they won't follow it up. Like USA attacked Iraq, and got over a million people killed (including a lot of their own). Were they kicked out of Fifa? You may seem to think that it was justified, but a lot of people all around world thinks that what USA did to Iraq was unjustified, especially after getting rid of Saddam, if he is gone, just make sure there is a good fair elections, and then leave, even that would have been acceptable.

I would guess that China, Russia and so forth will be acted this way, which is 100% deserved and should be done, but when it is Saudis, USA, UK, or whatever that attacks another nation, they will just ignore it and that part is the big problem.

Leicester got a really important win for themselves against Burnley last night. They weren't winning in the Premier League for many weeks and finally put an end to this bad streak. And they did it against an in-form team too because Burnley were doing very good for three weeks. We witnessed even their beating Tottenham up by 1-0. Those results boosted their morale a great deal. And they resisted Leicester very good here too but Leicester finally scored in the last ten minutes. After this important victory, let's see what they will do in three days against Leeds. I guess that they will win again.
I expect them to win against Leeds as well.  It will be the opening match of the week.  Leeds United have been very bad lately.  They lost 4-0 to Tottenham and 6-0 to Liverpool.  The defense zone is pretty weak.  With this weak defensive line, they lose their chances against Leicester as well.  They are close to the relegation zone on the points table and Burnley's increased form could send Leeds United into the relegation zone.
Now recently we have some big changes at bottom of league table because few weeks back there were chances of Newcastle United can go for relegation, but now they are at safe point and Watford and Norwich are in the worst position but with them now we have three teams those are fighting hard for their salvage in Premier League specially Everton and Leeds United having worst results and these can give them bad shape.

Now, in next round, most chances we are not going to have any chance of change because most of the teams are going to face big giants like Watford is going to face Arsenal and Burnley is going to face Chelsea with only Norwich can win against struggling Brentford which could be good for them as they will jump from 20th to 19th.

It is not possible to make predictions about this match. Anything can happen in this match. It would be foolish to bet on these matches based on statistics. The home team gets the advantage in these matches. Since AC Milan will play at home today, I want to put AC MIlan ahead in this match. At the same time, Milan could not win the last 4 matches. Their performance is a bit weak now.
I have seen people wager on any type of game at any given time. It is not foolish to wager on ANY game, if you want to then you could and you would just have fun, if you win then you win, if you lose then you lose. Even the big name clubs like Bayern or PSG or Madrid end up not winning games all the time and we are fine with that, why would we start to not wager on other games just because they are not great? At the end of the day, there are all kinds of bets and we should not be really worried about any sort of betting and just do whatever we want.

It doesn't mean that you will win, obviously you could lose and we all lose time to time, the thing that matters the most is having fun during that period.

Well for me play to earn project is good for investment this year, together with the top 20 altcoins we need to always choose what we like or interested, it is hard to choose that is why we need to do research before we invest in different coin, because not every investment can surely earn sometimes investment plan will not happen according to what we plan that is why most of the investor will set a limit.
Play to Earn , I have seen the SPE has this feature recently and after a increase? yesterday it fell down to hundreds of percent making those who gather SPE with massive losses  and until this moment while the market is increasing ? yet this coin continues to fall lol.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/space-crypto-spe/
If that is a new project the risk for being a pumped and dumped is high but if it's an old project, that is normal. Not all coins can join other coins that are increasing right now but sometimes they only increase once the other coins are falling. Those who got the spe tokens can hodl and wait, panicking is not a solution because that can only make them a loser.

Same with what happened with axie, its token is also decreasing and the players are now selling it but axie was not a new play to earn game and rumours said that they will introduce a new feature soon. Maybe that can be the reason for their token to recover. The hype for play to earn games is still there and it's hard to choose a new project.
