3321  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you guys think 0.1BTC is enough to "make it"? on: December 28, 2021, 07:15:41 PM
Considering the supply vs global population = 0.003BTC per person to go around.

Then other factors like not all 21 million will be in circulation due to lost wallets/deceased hodlers who never informed anyone where their seed is, and also an increasing global population and future generations who all want in.

Do you think 0.1BTC will be like owning a mansion?

why not!
In 2010 who can think that 1 BTC will be worth of $60K?? But over time, that is likely to change. Now, 0.1BTC is worth of $5k but who knows that Bitcoin never go $200K within the next 5 years? If the bull market of Bitcoin continues to grow like this year then It is too much logical to think buy a mansion with 0.1BTC in 2025.
Perhaps, many economists think Bitcoin will replace paper money within 2025, so Hold on tightly until your dream comes true.

One thing I know about Ganguly is that he is very aggressive, at the same time he never crosses the line. This is not true with Kohli. Rather than showing aggression, he always try to bully his opponents. Sometimes it work out, and sometimes it doesn't. Also, blaming everything on Ganguly is not going to make things easy for Kohli. For the last several weeks I am witnessing uncouth social media posts from supporters of Kohli. He should stay away from such behavior, or his career will get negatively impacted.
Kohli is only removed from captaincy of odi and t20. He is still captain of test team and strong member of squad in all formats. He must not start such things about BCCI since he had lot of cricket left to play. He can perform better as a batsmen if he has no burden of captaincy. Honestly I like him as a player but he do cheap things most of the times.

None of us want Kohli's remarkable career to end badly. Sourav Ganguly, who is now the president of BCCI, also retired from all forms of cricket at an early age due to conflict with the board.

Kohli should improve his performance without getting into conflict with the board. His captaincy has not brought good results to India in recent times, now his performance is even worse. If he continues to perform like that, he is going to be dropped from the Indian squad quickly.

Talking about it isn't going to sway the outcome.  You could ask people about their opinions about where to place a bet on a Roulette wheel, but no one know that for sure either.  Some people might guess correctly, but many will also give an answer that turns out to be wrong. 

The safest advice is to only gamble what you can afford to lose.  The more adventurous advice is to keep an eye on current events and attempt to use those to make educated guesses about market movements.  But they'll still be guesses.

You know there is a greater chance of loss than of winning at gambling. If I place 10 bets in Roulette and If I am lucky on that day I might be win 5 max and loss the rest. So in this case it is o to say the statement "only gamble what you can afford to lose".

But in Bitcoin, If I look back, from 2010 to 2021 there is no loss if you hodl tight, only looser lost their funds by investing in Bitcoin cause they are looser. So it is not like gambling to investing money in Bitcoin, it is safe heaven to store your asset.

That's how it is, I don't just judge Ligue 1 because there are more prestigious tournaments like UCL and PSG so far still haven't looked convincing in UCL as a team with good quality from Ligue 1. Therefore, even though PSG are good with having a big points gap quite safe at the top but this PSG sometimes get results that are not as expected when against mediocre teams. In contrast to teams that have good quality in the Bundesliga, where Bayern Munich against a mediocre team at least Bayern Munich always shows its quality by winning with lots of goals. Results like that are rarely made by PSG so far, that's the reason I want to be able to see PSG look more perfect, although I also realize that PSG's position is safe at the top.

Bayern have long maintained a stable team. They don’t change the team too much.
On the other hand, although there are many good players in the PSG team now, they are new to PSG. It will take time for them to get to know each other. If the same players perform together for a few years, then maybe PSG's performance will be as strong as Bayern Munich's. Besides, I didn't think the PSG coach was experienced enough. I don't like his tactics.

i also believe that this season a club will be promoted to the 1st bundesliga that already played in the 2nd bundesliga last season and the second club to be promoted will be last year's relegated club from the 1st bundesliga (bremen or schalke).
my wish would currently be st. pauli and werder bremen Wink

My guess is that Pauli and Darmstadt will both qualify for the Bundesliga. I can see, they are now ahead of the points table, so, I'm not only saying this, their point table says.
I think their gameplay is very nice and the players have the ability to score goals. At the same time you know, their defense is not so weak.
You have to be said, the gameplay of Pauli and Darmstadt is much better than Schalke and Bremen.

Having started the day at 31/4, England ended the day at 68. I wonder what England will be like after Anderson retires. He is still their best bowler at 39. The only exciting English bowler I've seen is Jofra Archer. A problem in bowling can't arise where lead is just 82. England loses by an innings. Australia makes a brutal attack. With the way the Aussies are dominating, the ashes will be won 5-0. England really needs to improve.

In one match after another, the English players are showing surprise by showing consistently poor performance. Poor performance and defeat in the first Test.
But played well in the second inning. In the second Test, they again performed poorly. Although the batsmen collected a lot in the first innings of the third Test,
England were not in a bad position at the end of the first innings with the help of bowlers. However, in the second innings, they lost all their wickets by only 68 runs, surprising everyone again.
I don't know what they will do in the fourth Test. However, even if they play well, they will definitely lose. Because, Australian players are all in the form now.
3327  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is really controlling the Bitcoin market. on: December 27, 2021, 08:54:30 PM
We can say that any market can be manipulated, but I expect the Bitcoin market to be less than others, there is a so-called “market maker” which can be some big whales or even large institutions, they play on the psychology of traders and control it indirectly by factors Psychological things such as fear and greed, in the case of fear, for example, they press the price to the lowest level, which causes fear among many traders, and they sell their currencies at cheap prices as a result of fear, and here the market maker buys these quantities at cheap prices.
Therefore, we can say that the market can be predicted somewhat by observing the movements of the market maker or the big players because they are the ones who are manipulating or directing the market movement in general, in addition to, of course, some positive or negative news.
Big whales are always in the position to manipulate the price movement of the market but i think the biggest factor that controls the bitcoin market is its supply and demand. If there is a high demand, its supply will be lessen and definitely we can see its price increase. And since bitcoin is the most in demand crypto in the market, so its not surprising that it holds the highest value among all coins. Also, we have news and social media events that gets to affect the bitcoin market too, and every time negative news hit the market, bitcoin value will be temporarily affected but eventually recover from the  dip after a couple of days.

whales can manipulate the market for a certain period. They can move the market direction at any time but that move is weaker and does not stay for long. They do not have the ability to take control for a long time.
It's supply and demand what is truly controlling the market. If the demand is more than the supply, then the price will increase. This is normal. Again, if the demand is low but the supply is high, it will be just the opposite. If whales had all the power, the market would never have survived

It is a pity to see my own old wallets. There is a little comfort here that you have spent your coins. But I have lost the private key of some of my wallets, when I see those wallets & unspent BTC then I can't find any tongue to give consolation myself. In any case, it is better to get rid of the old and walk in a new way. If you hold BTC now, it may be worth it after 5 years, so it is better to delete the old memory and start hodling in a new way.

Anyone following the unofficial test between South Africa A and India A? I am seeing India A in action after a long break. And I am not sure whether this tournament will go ahead as planned, as the Omicron variant is spreading across South Africa. But for now, the matches are ongoing. After first day of play, South Africa A is at 233/7, but none of their players managed a half century. There were a few 40s and 30s, but no 50s. Among the Indian bowlers, Ishan Porel and Navdeep Saini picked up two wickets each.
Its a First class test match so not sure why they are calling it unofficial test. I think this tour will go ahead because National team is about tour South Africa soon and CSA wouldn't want upcoming tour to be postponed at any cost so they will ensure safety for every player and staff. BCCI and CSA also enjoy good relation.
Ishan Porel is good but Saini is not disciplined bowler and its seems Batters are also in okay-ish form. Priyank Panchal and Abhimanyu Easwaran made 96 and 103 respectively in the first match. Prithvi also hinting that he's about to find his hands. Vihari's form is more important  tho. He was sent there for a reason, i hope he score some runs and make his comeback in national team.

I honestly think that if Prithvi plays well he might get a chance in the national team and also get that fast. He is a good batsman in my opinion. He can hit a long ball, But he has to be consistent enough.
Talking about consistency I think  Saini is a good bowler and has good enough pace but the only problem is that if he balls 5 good deliveries in one over he balls one ball which is absolutely like a free hit to the batsman. Unless he gets consistent enough he will struggle to get in the national team.

Thomas Muller's statement about the Ballon d'Or 2021 award was written on Linkedin.
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/esmuellert_motivation-ballondor-lewandowski-activity-6871530282026053633-AAhc

From that long angle it is clear that Thomas Muller was a little disappointed with the awarding of the Ballon d'Or yesterday and it is indeed an incident in the past that is repeating itself, but Muller still congratulates Lionel Messi even though he thinks it is Lewandowski who deserves it, but he will prove it in the future will win the UCL this season and even this week facing Barcelona will be an interesting game according to him.
Muller can prove with Bayern Munich.

Well, we all know that it is a little unfortunate for Lewandowski because even Messi said that Levandowski was the actual winner of the Ballon d'Or. I think that when the winter says something like this then the rotary must have done something wrong, to be honest.

Barcelona's rise in the La Liga continues. Xavi is the best thing happened to Barcelona for now. But I know that it is very early talk about it like this. It has been only two league matches. And they won both of them (vs Espanyol (H): 1-0, vs Villarreal (A): 3-1).  And the next one is against Betis three days later. Betis are one of the strong teams so far. There is a 4-point difference between Betis and Barcelona and Betis are the team ahead. A tough game is waiting for Barcelona but I believe that they will still be winning.

I think we can all agree that Barcelona's downfall was because of the terrific situations that they were in. But now as the situation has gotten better I think that was alone will obviously play better than before just as they are doing in the past two games. So I think that Barcelona has a real good chance of beating Betis In their next match.

I guess it would be extremely difficult for Spezia to avoid a defeat when they play against Inter Milan away from their home stadium today. Even though the manager of Spezia could try and adopt a defensive strategy right from the start of the match, but the players of Inter Milan are looking in good form at the moment to score goals for their team, I think Inter Milan will be able to beat Spezia easily today.
Playing at home will be more confident to win with Spezia, Inter will continue to overtake points with Milan who are playing together tonight, if Milan return to poor performance against Genoa then this is a good step for Inter who continue to move.
The bookies offers a thinner bet for Inter's win but what I see is 70% will be Inter's win at home.
Sassuolo vs Napoli I hope this match ends in a draw. So that Inter can move easily.

I don't think that Napoli is going to lose against Sassuolo or even share points with them because they are is it good form right now. They do not seem to be dropping for sharing points with a team that is rather lower in the points table. Currently, Napoli is leading the table and Sassuolo is in 12th place. Statistical is speaking Napoli should come out as the winners of this match.

Too much load is having some big effect on players mentally and physically, and we all know about this because we have too many examples about this but sadly BCCI and their greediness is not looking in this way because they are having some big amounts in their wallets and with having nothing to do just announcing new teams and more work load on players is having nothing issue for them, so it's going to be carried on for some more time until we have some big side effect of this all.
They don't think players are also humans, and they need some better environment for giving their 100%, or they must bring some soft policy for them as players allowed to have a limit of matches for year or this event, then surely this will bring some better results for franchise and players both.
@SirLancelot the biggest issue for player’s was bubble fatigue, and unless their living in bubble doesn’t end I expect them to be more drained for the future tournaments.
Furthermore while we can and should criticise BCCI for IPL, but why allow the player’s the free pass as they chose to participate in it very well knowing they could have opted out of it, so end story is even player’s care more about money then their health.

In my opinion, we would clear through a chance of getting money if they can. And also if they can play really well in IPL they will be known worldwide. And it is also a really great experience to play with players from overseas and learn from a lot of great players and coaches. So for me, the players are ok to play if there is a chance.

I don't know if ICC is willing to take that initial loss of 5 years. But in my opinion, it is not going to be that long and the sport is going to be much more popular before that if necessary steps are taken and bringing in more international team are not neglected. But the thing is if you have to do something you have to sacrifice something. But the question is are they willing to do that?
It's not all about ICC because they can't force any board for doing things like this it's need some fair and love for game big three can start few things which bring good funds, and then they provide funds for small boards to start leagues or small tournaments for women cricket which could be more helpful for all parties but sadly right now we have greediness of money which is preventing things to do for game mostly things happening for personal profit.
If ICC have power then surely they can use this like UEFA and then this game has some better future and more adoption in many countries, but it's never going to happen it's just dream which is ruined by very few people's personal ego. Currently, just England and Australia can afford this luxury, so they will take good advantage in future as well.
I believe we all can agree that ICC has no such power to ask a country’s board to start a woman’s league, however they can try and cut a small window for such a league when there’s no international match taking place. Also BCCI will opt for it if they see good money right from the start, but post the pandemic I’m not sure they’ll like to take a risk right away and start this league, hence it may take a year or two before they get serious about WIPL.

I think that ICC has the power and they can easily reach out to make cricket more famous to people. But the problem is well everything happens around money then a lot of good things are ignored because of some self-gain. I think you said it right that it is just a dream and it will remain in if ICC doesn't take bigger steps in my opinion.

Portugal is definitely stronger than Turkey. But don't think Turkey is weak. They are probably a bit off form now. But in past Turkey has surprised us by showing us a lot of great gameplay. Turkey has a good enough squad. If Ronaldo fails to perform in this match for some reason, then Turkey has a chance to win.
If we were talking about the Turkey we watched against Netherlands and lost by 6-1, I would say that they are really weak. But they are not performing like that anymore as far as I see. They improved their performance in their last three group games. And if they play really focusedly against Portugal, I think we can watch a really competitive game. Maybe Portugal would still be one step ahead but at least Turkey would fight back against them.
I know that Turkey has conceded a humiliating 6-0 defeat against the Netherlands. I watched the match. But in the previous match against the Netherlands, Turkey had won 4-2. Now the players have lost form. But I will not call the Turkish team weak. They can ignite at any time. If the match strategy is good, they have the ability to beat the Portugal team.

I think in turkey vs Portugal, I will say Portugal wins the match 100%. But since the last loss against the Netherlands, they have improved their game and looked better. So yes even though turkey might play better but I still think that Portugal will win that match, I placed my bet for Portugal with @1.43 odds.

It is an awkward situation really. All of the teams have the same amount of wins. And all of the teams still have an opportunity for promoting to the next stage of the tournament. My favourites to promote are going to be Leicester and Spartak Moscow. I think that Leicester can capture at least one point against Napoli. They were nearly beating Napoli before in the end. Legia will host Spartak Moscow and they beat Spartak Moscow once before. But this time, I'm expecting Spartak Moscow to earn at least one point.
@jackdanyel I too am expecting Leicester to qualify, but Napoli isn’t a weak team hence it’ll be a uphill task for Leicester to beat them. However I feel that the experience of Brendan Rogers who’s their head coach will help Leicester beat Napoli, but mark my words it’ll be a tense match and hence I expect the final scoreline to be 1 - 0 in Leicester City's favour.
Even if Leicester could draw, they would still be able to qualify for the next round. Leicester's goal here is not to lose points in this match. Since Leicester are not a weak team, they can easily draw the match against Napoli if they play defensively. But my fear is that this is Napoli's home match. They will want to score full points in the home match.

I think that Napoli has to win this match. And if they win they are going to be ahead for qualifying. But Leicester will not make this easier for them as they will really not want to drop points this match. Because even if they draw they are going to qualify. But as this is Napoli's home match, I think Napoli will be able to win this match if they play well enough.

These test match rules completely suck sometimes. How the heck does NZ get away with a draw when India clearly won the match?
Really, now you want to award the wining's to the Indian team even if they have not managed to win the match ?
The fact is that Indian team have included failed and pathetic bowlers like Ishant Sharma, Ashwin and Patel who cant even bowl out the last man of the New Zealand team. They were looking completely helpless to get the wicket.
Although the match was drawn. But I have to say that India has played great. Here New Zealand's goal was to survive at the crease and draw the match. New Zealand did not expect to win the run target that India gave. They also failed to survive at the crease. The performance of the batsmen was terribly bad. Rachin Ravindra played 91 balls. Only for Ravindra, New Zealand can draw the match.

Yes, absolutely and I think ok almost all the credit goes to the last pair of batsmen. They really survived a great amount of time and that was also in front of a really good morning attack. I mean even the top order and the middle-order batsman couldn't do anything against those bowlers. India should really feel a little disappointed not to be able to get the last wicket but they really dominated the test match even though it was a draw.

CSK : Dhoni, Jadeja, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Moeen Ali

It looks like CSK is building a stable squad again. However, the performance of each team in the IPL depends on the form of the players. Last season we saw that despite having a lot of star players, the performance of the teams was not that much good. RCB can be considered as an example. There was no shortage of star players and celebrities in their squad. Yet their performance was poor.

Honestly, the lack of performance last year was because maybe the players didn't play cricket for a long time and that could affect their performance. People might say that I am taking the side of the cricketers but for me whatever happens I will always support the players. And we all know that the last couple of years were really tough for everyone. So I think cricketers performance from up next is going to be much more improved.

Atalanta are drawing my attention lately by their high performance on the weeks we've left behind. They haven't lost any match for six weeks. Atalanta won against Juventus by 1-0 last and it must have been a really tough one. And they have an opponent today like they would continue winning. Because they are going to be playing home vs Venezia. Venezia were defeated by Inter last and they should be ready for another loss.
I agree with you. Venezia should be prepared for one more defeat. Atlanta is in great form now. Their position in the points table is fourth. In that case, they would not want to lose a point against weak Venezia. Atlanta will win the match. Atlanta could probably win the match 2-0.
It looks like Venezia will be an easy opponent for Atalanta and have an impressive capital after beating Juventus 1-0, this victory helped secure Atalanta's position in fourth place with a collection of 28 points, three points adrift of AS Roma in fifth place.
and this record will make it easier to predict who will win and besides Atalanta are one of the best attacking teams in Serie A, and 2-0 to Atalanta is likely to happen.

I think that Atalanta is in great form currently and they are also going to take the next w very easily because they are playing Venezia who is really not a strong opponent for Atalanta. Atalanta is currently in 4th place with 28 points and Venezia is currently in 16th place with 15 points. So, Atalanta should aim for a big win with a good goal difference because they want to get a better goal difference if they want to get ahead of inter who has a really good goal difference than them.
