321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 18, 2023, 08:43:05 AM
Ireland scored only 137 runs.  I said that I doubt how much Ireland can score because I have been watching them play for a long time and in every match I have noticed that they are not able to score much and they lose almost every match. Ireland has not yet reached a very good place in the game of cricket, they need to develop more. There are still doubts about how much of a potential team they will become in the future
When Ireland women team made 137 runs I was little sure that they can win the match. And they made a tough for the West Indies women team. WI team won the match by 6 wickets and only one ball remaining. From Ireland team Orla Prendergast made fifty and made 61 runs. And on the other hand from West Indies team the captain Hayley Matthews made 66 runs. This was an interesting match By the way.
The performance of the Ireland women's team was very good. I was very surprised by the performance of the Ireland women's team. They set a target of 138 runs. This target cannot be called a low target. Also very controlled bowling by Ireland's bowlers. At the end of 15 overs, West Indies were only 98 runs. If West Indies opener Hayley Matthews could not stay at the crease then West Indies would not have won this match. West Indies scored 19 runs off the last 11 balls and won. However, this match was very competitive. Most of the matches in the Women's World Cup are one-sided.
137 runs is not too less for women team but their opponents were smarter than them which allowed them to easily overcome this target so the Ireland Women's team will have to play more better or they will continue to lose matches. Ireland women's team is not too weak but their opposition teams are stronger than them so compared to them Ireland is a bit weaker so Ireland have to prepare better and try to play more better. Only then can they beat their opponents

Ireland has always been a weak side compared to the West Indies. And the West Indies team was the favorite in this match too. No one expected the match to be so competitive. Ireland's team players are not experienced enough. Apart from the top three batsmen, no batsman can collect more than 5. 3 batsmen returned to the dressing room with 1 run, and 3 batsmen failed to score any runs. They could have given a target of more than 150 if they got some support from the batsmen.

Bitcoin is the best alternative way to save money, with Bitcoin you have control over your savings because it's your wallet and your key and you are your banks!

Your assets will be protected if you save in bitcoins, but bitcoins do not guarantee the value of your assets in the short term. If it's savings for emergencies or future spending, it would be unwise to save in bitcoin. What will happen to your assets in 2022 when bitcoin drops more than 80% in value, and you need to use that money? You need to distinguish between saving and investing.

I will still use bitcoin as a safe haven even if it is stable, because bitcoin is decentralized, I can use that utility to protect my assets from government exploitation. Also, I would be looking for an alternative investment to fill the void left by bitcoin. Maybe altcoin or will be another financial market, but I hope bitcoin will never be stable.

If I were told about bitcoin using a school board, then I would not really understand anything about it.

Indeed, I also appreciate the OP's ideas and efforts, but I doubt the effectiveness of this session. We are talking about things on the internet, and without pictures or real examples, students will understand nothing but vague concepts of bitcoin. And another risk is, this is an extracurricular session that is not part of the school's curriculum, OP should ask the school's permission before teaching bitcoin to students. Don't make bitcoin illegal.

Giannis and Jrue Holiday went off for the Bucks tonight. If they’re playing like that I don’t think any team in the league can beat them. Tonight they got the better of the Celtics in overtime. The Clippers were able to beat the Warriors with Steph. Fox played great for the Kings but it wasn’t enough to beat the Suns. When KD comes back that is going to be one hell of a team.
It was a win, but it was in OT for the Bucks, and they almost lost to a Celtics team who doesn't have their star players like Tatum, Smart and Jalen Brown. The Bucks should have blown them up in the beginning, but they allow the Celtics to almost break their winning streak.
If not for Holiday's clutch 3 in the OT and then Giannis getting the steal and sinking both free throws, it might be a different outcome, just saying.
Do you mean the Clippers beat the Warriors without Steph in the lineup? Curry is still sideline.
Clippers beats the Warriors without Steph, though the game was close in the first half, but that rally in the third quarter established
the game winning for the clippers.
Warriors unable to rally back and while Clippers are just keeping the game and continue
to keep exchanging scores to secure the win with 2 digit deficits.

Of course, without Stephen Curry, it is going to be hard for the Golden State Warriors. and that's exactly what happened. I believe if Stephen Curry was on the team, this match was surely going to be won by the Warriors. We all know how important he is to his team. His average for the Warriors is also unbelievable. And I think you lot of people even expected this outcome. I am sorry to say that without Stephen curry,  the team is not much.

Why not? Bitcoin is money, a tool to get rich just like any other investment. Even I believe bitcoin can get us financial freedom faster than other ways to get rich. Aren't we here to do that? I believe 100% of people who invest in bitcoin want to get rich with bitcoin because of its volatility. Take risks to get rich with bitcoin.

The shameful part in today's 1.Bundesliga games is the humiliating defeat of M'Gladbach with 4 goals! They were able to score early a goal then KO'ed by Hertha with 1 goal in the first half and 3 in the second half.. Hertha hardly win games Roll Eyes
For Koln - Frankfurt, everything was expected as outcomes but 3 goals to 0, that was strange!
the 4-1 win against monchengladbach is good for hertha, they need a few wins to get out of the relegation zone. Stuttgart, on the other hand, must be content with being in 17th place in the Bundesliga standings due to their inability to win the match against Freiburg.

Gladbach's performances have been erratic this season. But in the last two matches, they performed well enough. It was a totally unexpected result for Gladbach to concede such a crushing defeat against Herath. Gladbach's defense was broken in this match. Gladbach conceded 4 goals as a result. And Hertha's players were unable to create counter-attacking opportunities as a result of their attacks. Gladbach's next match is against Bayern Munich. Gladbach will probably lose points in this match as well.

Manchester City is now very close and I'm sure Arsenal won't be able to breathe easily again. But I so much pity Manchester city, They seem to be very serious and are making positive moves to overthrow the gunners from the leading position. I just pray their penalty for the financial crime is extended maybe till next season if found guilty so that the fight for the EPL title will continue to be interesting. It has been decades since Arsenal went this far in EPL standing and I know they will not let go of this golden opportunity of winning the title.
Manchester City's win has reduced the gap with Arsenal at the top of the standings and it will make Arsenal feel uncomfortable, it seems that Arsenal has forgotten how to win seeing that in the last 2 matches they have not been able to win any matches, I think if the next match Arsenal loses points again then Manchester City will be ready replaced him at the top of the standings  Grin

Manchester City are now just 3 points behind Arsenal. However, the Arsenal team has played one match less than Manchester City. If Arsenal win their next match they will go 6 points clear of City. The Premier League is getting more competitive day by day. As Arsenal have lost form. So Manchester City have a chance to continue fighting for the top spot in the table. Arsenal and City still have equal chances to win the Premier League title.
329  Economy / Economics / Re: Are you ready to spend crypto when market is down on: February 12, 2023, 03:22:06 PM
Hello Everyone,

I am not speaking about just Bitcoin. I am speaking about every cryptocurrency / token.  Regardless of crypto price fluctuations, many online and offline stores are ready to accept crypto as payment. So How will willing are you to spend crypto for your purchases?

If one doesn't spend their crypto for purchases and wait for to spend their crypto when its price is nice, are they really considering it as a cryptocurrency or can we assume like those people are treating more like a security or investment instrument?



Are there still other options for making transactions besides having to use Crypto? if there are other options, for example, being able to pay using Fiat money, then I will not use Crypto for payment. For me it's better to keep Crypto for a long time until the market normalizes than having to sell it when the market doesn't support it
It would not be a wise choice when we spend our crypto assets to shop when the market is experiencing a bear season. I said we have to keep holding on until the market returns to normal. Don't we have crypto for the purpose of investing and profiting in the future? It would be a wrong step when we actually issued when our portfolio was red. Whatever happens if circumstances don't urge us to release the assets we have, I will survive even for a very long time. These are some of the plans I had made before putting my money into crypto.

If the intention is for investment I will agree that it's not the right time to spend your crypto, instead it's the right time to add more with your hold asset, buying while the price still cheap will give you more profits when the market start to pump up, but for sure there are people who are not after investment alone, they are using crypto as a normal means for transacting and even the value is down they will continue to use and support this industry to make sure that the ecosysystem will continue to flow.

No one is good enough as you think, people are using crypto to trade or spend even we are in a bear market because they are not using the coins they bought at a high price. They use fiat to buy crypto and spend instantly, they don't lose anything. I'm also using crypto to buy some items, but I'm not using my investments. I just buy them at the current price on the exchange and use them for payment.
330  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it true that 80% of the world's wealth in the hands of 20%? on: February 12, 2023, 03:12:21 PM
That there is so much wealth disparity throughout the globe worries me. It's sad that so few people control so much of the world's wealth, while the lowest half of the population controls less than 2%. The world's increasingly uneven distribution of wealth is a source of worry for many people, including myself. A more fair version of this situation sounds like a formidable obstacle to overcome, yet it is still a fact of life in the world we now inhabit. Although influential individuals have the ability to restore equilibrium, they show little sign of doing so since they benefit from the current state of affairs. I have faith that governments and the public will come up with innovative and helpful solutions to this problem, but I recognize its complexity.

Are you sad that you are not one of them? Human society since its creation has been inherently unfair, there is always racial discrimination, the divide between rich and poor, and it will remain forever, never disappear. So don't try to be sad or worried because there's nothing else we can do. Just because we are not rich, we want the world to be fairer, but I think if we were rich, we would think differently.
331  Economy / Economics / Re: The fear of global recession is real or just a speculation? on: February 12, 2023, 03:07:26 PM
The global recession may continue if there is no agreement to carry out a ceasefire for countries that are at war and focus more on fixing the problems that are happening in the world. All countries must unite and solve every problem faced by all countries. But the problem is, there are still countries that don't want to collaborate with other countries and think that the country can still survive. Like it or not, world leaders have yet to reach an agreement to resolve these problems. Maybe in public, they say they agree to solve the problem but after that, they seem to forget everything.

They are more preoccupied with the problems in their country because it is an urgent thing that they must do immediately. Maybe it should start with each country or people deal with the problems around them first.

War is causing crisis and recession for many countries, but many countries still benefit from war, so they don't want the war to end soon. Each country wants to have its own interests, so it is never possible for all of us to join hands to fight the recession. Just like someone else's death is our own chance, so there's no reason to save them.

It's not enough just to promote bitcoin, you need to teach them the basics of bitcoin, if you just want to tell people that bitcoin exists on earth and that's it, there are better ways to promote it. What I'm thinking is, if churches spread bitcoin and people invest in bitcoin and lose, what will they think of that religion. I would oppose this idea.
333  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which company will be next to accept Bitcoin? on: February 11, 2023, 03:05:47 PM
didn't tesla ever receive payments with bitcoin but they canceled it, if i'm not mistaken reading and listening to it from the news circulating,
I really hope that not only buying luxury goods can you make bitcoin payments, but shopping at supermarkets will be more interesting

The question is, when that happens, are bitcoin investors willing to accept using bitcoin for payment? I really doubt it since we are all investing in bitcoin for profit and not using it as a means of payment. Currently, there are many companies and stores that accept bitcoin, but people do not want to spend bitcoin, because they do not want to regret when in the future its price will increase 10, 20 times.
334  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: G20 exploring cryptocurrency regulation on: February 11, 2023, 02:51:46 PM
~
 In current time of globalization, it is not possible for one country to effectively implement these regulations and thus this decision for collective effort might work better according to me.
The event is headed by India which has draconian taxations implemented on cryptocurrency users and all they plan on doing is to have a collective draconian rule elsewhere so that people will not have the freedom to trade cryptocurrencies. BTCitcoin is a global currency with freedom and the government want to take away that freedom in the form of regulation .

If we want cryptocurrency to be widely available and used around the world then regulation is inevitable. This world is under government control, they wouldn't be stupid enough to let bitcoin be widely used in their territory without them enjoying any benefits. I would rather accept unpopular bitcoin to not be controlled by the government.
335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 11, 2023, 10:02:10 AM


Freiburg against Stuttgart, I think this match will be easy for Freiburg. We know that currently Freiburg is in 6th place in the standings after they lost 5-1 against Dortmund in their previous game. Certainly in this match they have a target to rise to the top 4 again. Meanwhile, Stuttgart is currently in 16th place and almost touching the relegation zone. My prediction is that Freiburg will win in a landslide with more than 2 goals.

However, Freiburg's performance has been somewhat unstable in the last few matches. The Freiburg player will make no mistake against Stuttgart though. Stuttgart is a weak team. Also, Freiburg needs 3 points in this match. Freiburg has now dropped to sixth place in the points table. A win against Stuttgart would put Freiburg third or fourth in the points table. Points cannot be lost in this match if they want to qualify for the Champions League.
336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: February 11, 2023, 09:47:14 AM
Without Messi and Mbappe, I think PSG's strength is greatly reduced in attack, and for sure Neymar will not be able to overcome Bayern Munich's defense alone in the match. But I think Messi is not badly injured and it's just hamstring problem, but he will be out against Monaco today. There are currently 4 players currently injured, including Messi, Mbappe, Renato Sanches and Nordi Mukiele.

I hope Messi and Neymar can have minutes when they host Bayern Munich in the middle of next week, it will be the big thing we are looking forward to. Without them it wouldn't be the match we were waiting for even if some of their main stars could take part.
Messi will definitely miss the match with Monaco, but I see that he is expected to return to training on Monday, February 13, so the injury is not serious. In the match with Marseille, it was clear that the team without Mbappe looked weak in attack, if we add the absence of Messi to this, then Galtier will have big problems in the match with Bayern.

As PSG's main target is the Champions League match, the coach will rest Messi even if he is fit against Monaco today. Because PSG's most important players are Mbappe and Messi. If these two players could not play against Bayern Munich, PSG would definitely lose. Bayern Munich is not in good form. Winning against PSG is difficult for Bayern Munich at the moment. However, Bayern Munich is an experienced team compared to PSG. They are more likely to play well.
337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: February 11, 2023, 09:39:06 AM
Barcelona have a number of options in vital positions in the team like in the attacking wings, in the absence of Usman Dembele, Raphinha is available as a replacement for Dembele which gives some level of relief to Xavi as he will not worry much about finding a replacement for Dembele. Manchester United on the other hand are lucky that Casemiro will be available for the first leg meeting against Barcelona and with Eriksen's absence, Sabitzer will fill in and give United some balance in the midfield.
Even though both teams will be minus several players who are absent due to injury, it seems that this is not a problem for the two coaches and they have anticipated this well. The first leg match will take place in a week, of course both barcelona and manchester united must keep their players fit for the match later and I hope that in this week's match in their respective regular leagues, no players will be injured again for both teams.
both teams have the same problem. and the match between the two in the first leg can be very difficult to predict. Barca also lost several players, as well as United who were already struggling against Leeds because several players in their main squad were absent.
although both trainers could say everything was fine. but I'm sure, now they are fighting to make the right strategy and composition of players.
True, both Erik ten hag and Xavi will definitely prepare the best strategy for the first leg match later, but again Barcelona will get the opportunity to host first and the support flowing from the Blaugranes will pump up the enthusiasm of the Barcelona players. I think Xavi has to anticipate Marcus Rashford's movements because in several Manchester United matches he is very consistent in scoring goals in every regular league match and does not rule out the possibility that he will score again against Barcelona later.

This is Barcelona's home match. And considering only the home match I consider Barcelona as favourites. In fact I find my Barcelona and Manchester United squads equally strong. However, Barcelona is stronger in home matches. Barcelona are hard to beat at the Camp Nou. However, the recent performances of both the teams are quite good. The players of both the teams are confident now. We should be ready to see any results.
338  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: February 11, 2023, 09:32:19 AM
Looking at the statistics for their matches in the last 5 matches, it actually still looks the same, but indeed in this case we cannot rule out the big name PSG.
On the other hand, what might be a problem for PSG is Monaco with its good record. coupled with their condition that they are still missing several players, it will obviously be very influential for them in the match.
Facing Marseille they should be able to set an example in this match because if indeed they are still disorganized when Mbappe and Messi are not present in the match then they really need other options in order to make a breakthrough.
The match against Monaco will be indicative, we will see what PSG are capable of without Mbappe and Messi. Monaco are showing good results and they will definitely fight for a place in the Champions League, especially since they have already managed to take points from PSG in the fourth round. PSG are still a very strong team even with losses, but I think that Galtier is starting to lose confidence, let's see how he will act in this situation.

Firstly Monaco is in very good form right now. And they can play well against any big team. Secondly, I don't think the PSG team is strong without Mbappe and Messi. PSG is a mediocre team without these two players. I think Monaco will win today's match. The match is not important for PSG. If Monaco's attack can play a bit better, they will win. Perhaps PSG will decide to play a defensive strategy in this match as well.
339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 11, 2023, 09:18:41 AM
the fact is that milan is in no condition to win anything, they don't even look like a team that until recently were seen as candidates to win the serie A, I don't understand what happened to them to stay that way, at least in that game they didn't concede goals what already a sign of some improvement
I agree with you, Milan can't win anything like this
and it's not just me who doesn't support Milan, my friends who are Milan fans who know the team very well say it
the sad thing is that you don't even understand what the real problem is, first they should become aware of what the problem is (to solve it)
I would send the goalkeeper away instantly

AC Milan's performance at the start of this season has been quite good. The players were confident. And in almost every match we saw good performances from Milan players. But Milan's performance dropped badly after the World Cup break. I also forget the last time I saw a good performance from this team. AC Milan has no chance of being in the top 4 of the points table if they play like this.

But i will not blame Fortune Barishal because the match was under Fortune Barishal's control till 17 overs. Especially from 13 balls Khulna Tigers roared unexpectedly. Khulna Tigers would not have won this match if Yasir Ali had been on the pitch. It was after his run out that the game began to change. Habibur Rahman gave his performance when it was needed which was worth watching. Khulna Tigers won the match by Habibur Rahman's 30 runs from 9 balls.
PSL is about to start in Pakistan and Pakistani Former wicket keeper Rashid Latif has given hard statement for PCB for allowing domestic teams and PSL franchise to sign a betting company as their sponsor. That betting company is 1Xbit. source - Facebook local

1Xbit has now become quite popular worldwide. It is very popular, especially in South Asian countries. However, 1Xbit is not able to promote them well as gambling is banned in most South Asian countries. If 1Xbit can promote themselves in a popular league like PSL then it would be great for them. But I have considerable doubts about whether the Pakistan Cricket Board authorities will grant permission.
