341  Economy / Economics / Re: Is market manipulation a common occurrence everywhere? on: September 11, 2023, 05:54:27 PM
This is true, manipulation can happen anywhere and have different effects. Market manipulation, for example, can have a good effect on others but can also have a negative effect on some. Moreover, market manipulation can be big or small depending on how much changes it may cause. And yes, cryptocurrency can be manipulated in some ways as well.

Because cryptocurrency can also be manipulated in several ways by certain parties, as cryptocurrency users we must continue to research carefully so that we can find out what things are often used by certain parties to manipulate them. These are the methods that we need to know now so that we don't fall into this manipulation because we are users who use cryptocurrencies very often in the market.

The impact does exist and is also very real because it aims to maximize profits for the perpetrator of the manipulation by causing harm to other people so I will not say that this will have a good impact on certain parties because every thing that is done using bad methods must be it is still considered bad even if one party benefits from it.
Market manipulation is much common with cryptocurrency. Particularly this can be experienced much with altcoins are centralized. The real manipulation can be experienced when the entire market is bearish and one particular altcoin bounce. If we go deep we'll come to know that particular altcoin doesn't even have a minimum viable product. Apart from this we will be able to see good number of dump and bumping service providers. The impact of those groups won't be that big, but to some extent it helps with manipulation.

Crypto influencers are just part of the community. They can be considered as the information providers. Further it needs to be our knowledge to analyse and find the right one or to stay away of its a scam. One of the popular person who had good reputation and spoilt his name over time is John McAfee. He is no more and he was much praised, but at some point he started to promote projects without reason. Cryptomarket is something highly unpredictable and the same lets crypto influencers try to make money out of the market movements.
343  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket Asia Cup 2023! Which team will WIN? on: September 11, 2023, 04:47:33 PM
The match between Pakistan and India was restarted after the rain stopped. Right now, Pakistan's batsmen are under enough pressure with their wickets falling that frustration is working in the minds of their batsmen. Pakistan batsmen's batting performance today has not improved as wickets are falling. 47 runs at 3 wickets which made the game very difficult for the Pakistan team, Pakistan have a long way to go to reach the target of winning the match which is a very difficult task.  While it is certain that can will be hoping for a great win against Pakistan today, India's batting performance today suggests that they may not be able to pull off a win. India's bowling performance is supplying tremendously, which makes the game more interesting. Meanwhile, Pakistan is batting badly, and the run rate has decreased a lot as they are batting, Pakistan must lose today's match out of their reach if Pakistan plays like this.
Match resumed, and Pakistan have lost 4 wickets. Ifthikhar and Salman on the crease need to build good partnership to keep the winning hope. India have won 82% of the matches since 2021 scoring 300+ runs. This way the winning probability of India is very bright. Pakistan is truly unlucky, if not the first match could've been won by them. This time India came up strong and destroyed every bowlers who performed awesome in the previous match. Without rest tomorrow once again India gonna play against Sri Lanka.

Congratulations for History creating Srilanka women. Sri Lanka women beat England women by 2-1 and the First ever Series win against England Women in England. This is a great achievement for the Srilanka women cricket team. In 1st match England women won by 12 runs DLS method. But After that 2nd match Srilanka women by won by 8 wickets and chased down the target in just 13overs what a win it was. After levelling the Series Srilanka Women won by 3rd and Final T20 by 7 wickets and won the series for the first time against England women. Congratulations to Sirlanka women for this great performance.

Lankan women should be proud of their performance. They were up against overwhelming odds, and yet they managed to put up a credible performance. Meanwhile England women need to introspect. The ODI series will start from tomorrow and now they need to win at least this series. England batting proved very brittle against Sri Lanka. In the first match they managed a total of 186, but in the next two matches they barely made it to three figures. And it is perplexing, given the number of experienced players they had in the squad.
Sri Lanka Women team had played well in the first ODI. They've won the match in a much easier way. England team managed to score 106 runs losing every wicket. Sri Lanka Women team reached the target in 18 overs losing just three wickets. The ODI series could be won by Sri Lanka Women team. Second match is scheduled to take place tomorrow. Tomorrow's match will be more interesting as England will try to make it a winning match and level the series and keep the hope of winning the series as one more match is left.

Pakistan vs India cricket match stopped due to rain yesterday. But, this is the biggest match so ACC decided to give a reserve for this match. Now, today is the reserve day and the match will start in the next 10 to 20 minutes.


But, what is this stupid behavior from the ACC, Every match is stopped due to rain. We can't see any single match. Embarrassed
Even with the reserve day the match doesn't gonna get result. The scheduled time had passed and the ground inspection continues. According to the latest update from the ground inspection team. The skies aren't very clear at the moment, however everyone are hoping for the start of the match at the earliest. As the precautionary measures the ground have been covered earlier. This had kept the ground in a better situation and everyone waiting for the update from the big match.
346  Economy / Economics / Re: To afford personal education or a property? Where to allocate funds? on: September 11, 2023, 03:20:33 AM
Personal financial education and personal  education are very important for person's life. If a some don't have knowledge, he cannot speak like a knowledgable person because knowledge is wealth. English speaking skill should be strong, if someone wants to be successful in life. Without communication skills, we cannot express our ideas. Financial education and skills give a path to be successful. Property investment is a good investment when you have money to invest. But when you have no money education is compulsory. And there is no alternative of personal education. Skills are very important in any field. Without skills, value of person is nothing.
Education needs to be given priority. As said if a person have got good education and he is knowledgeable, then he can go into property or any kind of investment. When he have limited money and he can't think of two things, then education needs to be picked. If property investment is picked one should be lucky to make big profit out of it. When invested on education, the learning will give him the understanding which property is worth investing. Education travels with you forever and it have got the ability to make you good personally as well as in professional life.

Gambling can be learnt, but the same will not bring the same result as the person from whom you've learnt it. Gambling is much about luck as well as calculations. One can be good enough to analyse well and keep himself under control. However the goodness and the success relies on the luck one holds. When a person shares his winning/losing story we should be good enough to understand it and experiment with small funds for longer time. This is where most of the beginners mistake. They just take everything positive and go ahead, and end up losing. With gambling we shouldn't be positive all the time, we should know our limits and we should not spend on gambling with the planning of making ourselves millionaires.

This is a good move from India, they can try to make an effective progress through this, it's not all about forming a clique that matters but seing governments coming together to a cause of a progressive unity and development among themselves, we are expecting them together with other leaders to form a leadership worth emulation, think more about the people than themselves, also make policies that will lead to massive development more than ever before, am so excited seing some of the African countries in attendance, this will give them more insights to what more is expected of them to deliver to the people they govern.
When a country have got wider plans with the associated nations it is being praised. This is really a great move in terms of politics, but the person who had been praised for such an addition should have the same mind way of thinking ruling the people within the country. Everything is connected to electrol politics, but there should be humanity. The ruling government have been very clear with the divide and rule. The target is to divide people based on religion and win the elections. A leader that is being driven by religion can never make things successful and what he does is a show off. The addition or the discussion doesn't gonna make any changes. The ruling government have tried to change its name just because the name INDIA is used by the opposition alliance.
349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Preparations for BTC Halving and bull market on: September 10, 2023, 11:39:03 PM
Investing into bitcoin is risk free, and gives the best profit. How can this be achieved is a an unknown myth. Based on my understanding whether the market is predicted to be bullish or bearish we should have the positive thinking. When we stay positive our act should be the same. For this it is always good to keep ourselves prepared to face the worst market situation. When we've kept our portfolio ready to face any form of fluctuations we can stay successful in the market.

Every halving used to bring bullish move in the market. Considering it, accumulating as much possible is good. However we should also be cautious while doing it. While spending the spare money no need to panic, if we're spending the money allocated for something else we need to be observing the market closely to book the profit and take the profit leaving the capital.

In the England vs New Zealand match, England scored 226 runs in the first innings, losing 7 wickets. But at the moment New Zealand is batting, they are batting well with the aim of winning, if New Zealand can perform well against England today's match, then there will be a chance to win. At the moment, New Zealand have collected 126 runs with the loss of six wickets and they do not have a very good wicket. But whether New Zealand might be able to win today's match remains to be seen as the match was postponed due to rain. Now England may win as the match has been reduced to 34 overs due to rain, and New Zealand are now struggling to win. Right now New Zealand need to score 99 runs from 60 balls which is really tough task as New Zealand have a good wicket in hand. That's why if England bowls well in today's match, New Zealand will be under more pressure and England will have a chance to win the match.
England have won the match by 79 runs. New Zealand had better opening than England team, but the pressure of scoring made them lose wickets at intervals. At some point New Zealand was 111/4 and finally ended the innings for 147 runs. In today's match the performance from England is really great, particularly Livingstone's 95* from 78 balls at the right time helped England reach 226/7 in 34 overs. The team that chased the target of 291 runs losing just two wickets, this time unable to reach target of 226 runs in 34 overs. Both teams have won one match each and this had increased competence on the upcoming matches.
351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 10, 2023, 03:35:44 PM
India really are in good position at the moment. Indian openers have done what was required by giving a 100 runs stand. There is reserve day for this match also, which means this game will very likely to be completed. Rain today is blessing for Pakistan as Indians aiming to score somewhere around 300.

I do not see any reason to say it's a blessing for Pakistan, as the match will continue tomorrow from the same position. India will start batting 24.1 overs, and the match will start at 15:00 GMT. BTW, ACC did not gave anyone the reserve day for the super matches except for India-Pakistan match. What is the reason behind that? Business? Of course Business matters!

When it comes to a controlling board, they cannot do this injustice to other teams. There was no reserve days for other matches except for the final match. No board speaking about it. Bangladesh coach Hathu said it's not fair.
Nowadays everything becomes business and India vs Pakistan is big rivalry and the same is being marketed in all possible ways. Already a match missed and considering the same reserve day is allocated for today's match. If India had agreed to play on Pakistan, this problem couldn't have come. PCB might've got good income and the audience might've not suffered. Atleast then onwards while organising big tournaments, the organising committee should take prior analysis about the weather forecast. Already the weather condition might've been known and why they choose Sri Lanka.
352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 10, 2023, 10:52:54 AM
Although there is only a short time left for the match between the two teams, it will be clear which team is the real favorite when the game starts.
Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl first, and Rohit Sharma said if we won the toss, we would choose to bat first. India's batting is good and bowling is not good.
So, I think that's why India wants to bat first and Pakistan's bowling is amazing and batting is also amazing but bowling first was a good decision from Babar Azam because, in the previous match, bowling was lucky for Pakistan. Let's see what happens in this time. Sad
Indian batsmen's performance is good, but bowlers' performance is not good. On the other hand, it would not be wrong to say that Pakistan's current bowling line-up is the best bowling line-up in the world. Bowlers like Haris Rouf, Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah Afridi bowled brilliantly. However, Indian batsmen are very experienced. They have the ability to deliver big targets if they stay at the crease.
India's two openers Gill and Rohit Sharma have started well. While Rohit Sharma batted with more responsibility, Gill was brutal from the start of the innings. India collected 23 runs in 3 overs. Rohit Sharma scored 10 runs off 11 balls and Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 13 runs off 7 balls. Let's see how many runs India's innings stops.
India is playing very aggressively and positively today and both the openers are looking to score runs quickly. Due to the positive start from both openers, they are able to survive the spell from Shaheen Shah Afridi.
38-0 after the end of 6th over, is a very good score and seeing the wicket today, it seems that India will be able to score over 300+ runs. No bowler from the Pakistan team is able to put any impact on the match. Also, there have been some bad fielding by the Pakistan players today which have helped the Indian cause.
India's opening pair is playing great. Shubman Gill is resisting Pakistan's experienced bowlers very well. He scored 41 runs off just 30 balls. And Rohit Sharma collected only 10 runs off 24 balls. Shubman Gill's strike rate is more than 130. He is batting well. India collected 53 runs without losing any wicket in 9 overs.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam used all his 3 pace bowlers in this 9 overs. But still can't take any wicket. Pakistani bowlers are bowling well but they are not succeeding. Also Pakistan's fielding is not good today. They missed several easy fieldings. A fielding miss is very risky in such an important match.

The way India are batting, the team will set a target of at least 350 runs today. I am very disappointed with Pakistan's performance. Bowlers are giving lots of runs. Fielders are missing a lot of fielding. At the same time the bowler is giving a lot of extra runs. India's two openers collected 103 runs in 14 overs. They scored an average of 7.35 runs per over. There is no doubt that Pakistan's bowlers are very talented. But the way Indian batsmen are batting is really impressive. Rohit Sharma batted very carefully at the beginning of the innings. His strike rate was between 55-70. But now Rohit Sharma's strike rate is like 120. India's captain is batting brilliantly. It will be much more difficult for Pakistan to win this match if the target goes beyond 300. India will set a target of more than 350 today if Pakistan fails to take wickets.
Shadab Khan have broken the opening partnership between Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma. India lost its first wicket at 121 runs. Rohit Sharma started slow and blasted in between scoring half century and went for an long off short which didn't go as predicted. Ball being caught by Faheem Ashraf and his innings came to an end at 56 runs(49). Virat Kohli have come to the crease and a 100 runs from him will make him reach a new milestone of 13k runs to his career. Soon after the wicket of Rohit Sharma, the wicket of Shubman Gill have fallen to the ball of Shaheen Afridi. Anyhow the contribution from Shubman Gill 58 runs have helped good. Actually Shaheen Afridi was brought into the spell to pressurise Virat and Shubman have fallen to it.

Earlier people used to raise questions on being virtual. Majority found it hard to believe something that doesn't have the physical appearance have value. Later when digitization happened around, people started to believe and the cryptocurrency usage increased than the earlier days. By that time people who have been thinking on bitcoin being virtual got good clarity. It didn't happen all of the sudden, it took time as people who have understood well about bitcoin gave briefing and the users themselves experienced it. Same as that it takes time for people to understand and stay away from scams. For now what can be done is, create interest among common people on using cryptocurrency on different needs.
354  Economy / Speculation / Re: Take your eyes off from the fall in price on: September 09, 2023, 11:26:39 PM
Most people who panic or start overreacting when the market starts crashing or dipping are newbie investors because they don't know much about the market and how volatile the cryptocurrencies are, so when they see their portfolio losing value, they start thinking that they are losing money.

That's correct but also we have old investors who panic or start overreacting when the market is experiencing a correction and that's always because they invested too much into the market and now they can't stand the loss they'll experience if the market keeps correcting and they're not out of their market ywt. Many individual still invest more than they can't afford to lose and this is a wrong way of investing as they'll regret the decision in bear market.

If you invested only your spare money, you can always take your eyes off the market as you won't be scared if the market is dipping because you know the market will recover and if they market doesn't recover, you can let go of the money that you invested because it wasn't much.
This is common with people. If something is always bullish, then it isn't real growth. Not everyone understands it. Price correction and market fluctuations were part of real growth. When a person have got the ability to hold, then he should continue to accumulate as much possible than just fearing to the market crash. It is something proven that you hold you'll surely profit.

As said, when the spare money is invested people won't be taking it seriously. When the money invested is out of regular needs, surely there'll be expectation and calculation of profit. This could be disappointing, but with every form of investment it takes time to profit out of the capital.
355  Economy / Economics / Re: Building wealth it's not just one time Luck on: September 09, 2023, 11:21:37 PM
This of course depends on the person and the situation but it is true. First of all we need to know what wealth means, if you are talking about 1 million dollars as wealth, that could be won luckily, if we are talking about a billion dollars, then not. So you need to make sure that you know what you are talking about before doing something like this. Secondly, there are very few situations in life when someone either invents something, or build something that gets sold for a lot of money, and even the buyer may not make much money with it, but that person just made a lot of money. However, I do agree that its not that common, being wealthy %99 of the time requires a hard work and dedication that is sustained over many years, even decades.
Agreed, it is all about the person's perspective about wealth. For some people having a life without debt itself good wealth. For some having a healthy life is a wealth. Apart from this people have got different meaning based on what they hold. In that way having a million could be wealth and the same varies between people. As mentioned, to some extent one can make it through luck whereas the same can't be achieved when the expectation is high. Based on the expectation should be the effort as well as the time period. We can't be millionaire overnight, it happens and everyone can't expect this to happen in their lives. End of the day it is the person hard work, d dedication along with luck that makes him successful.

Countries are very eager to adopt bitcoin, but no government have got the ability to do it legally. What El Salvador President Nayib Bukele did is really great thing and the same is being watched by people around the world as well as the governments functioning around the world. Amidst lot of opposition from the people as well as financial organization President Nayib Bukele executed it. Even now there is opposition, but through different schemes people were well taught about the goodness and the need of bitcoin.

From South Africa Heinrich Klaasen scored the highest 49 runs in 36 balls and David Miller also scored 49 runs both batters just missed half a century by 1 run. Australian team all-round performance batting very well then bowling outstandingly all out South Africa in only 269 runs beat by a huge margin of 123 runs. The player of the match is Marnus Labuschagne For his amazing performance score well deserved century scored 124 runs in just 99 balls.
Australia team is dominating the series. In the first ODI South Africa team got an opportunity, but they weren't able to make it a winning match as the bottom order built a good partnership which isn't expected. In this match from the beginning of the match the Australia team performance is much on fast scoring. David Warner gave good start and had a century (106 runs) along with Travis head scoring 64 runs. Further good contribution came from Labuschagne(124 runs) and Inglis(50 runs). In the Chase South Africa kept losing wickets as they had high pressure as well as the target is big. First two matches won by Australia and near to winning the series.

After hard fight Sri Lanka have won the match by 21 runs. Bangladesh started well, and all of the sudden lost four consecutive wickets. This built pressure upon Bangladesh team. Mushfiqur Rahim along with Towhid Hridoy built partnership and withstood wickets. Once Mushfiqur Rahim lost his wicket, consecutively wickets started to fall at regular intervals. On the other side Towhid Hridoy stood strong and tried his best to win the match for Bangladesh. Finally Bangladesh had 11 balls remaining and 22 runs required, but no wickets left. For Sri Lanka it was Theekshana, Shanaka, Pathirana took 3 wickets each.
359  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: September 07, 2023, 11:38:07 PM
It's because most of us people are not consistent, like today I would say I would not really gamble anymore, but tomorrow you've just opened the website of a casino and said that you just played for 10 minutes, and it turns out you played for hours. If we don't have consistency and self-discipline, we will always be defeated by our urge to play, which I know is a difficult thing to do. That is why others build habits on them, like playing sports, just to make them forget about gambling.

It is really best to divert our attention to others so that we will forget the gambling, stay busy on other things so we won't be able to think about gambling, and also always seek help from your family and talk about your gambling activities so that they can still help you to prevent it, like saying that you will go on vacation for a few days or enroll you in the gym so that you'll start lifting weights.
The best way to keep yourself away from gambling is to develop many other hobbies which also develop your discipline, as it is incredibly easy for a person to say they are never gambling again but it is incredibly difficult to actually fulfill their word, so people need to develop that discipline if they had not done so already, and the best way to do it is with a hobby which requires it, and after you have been free of gambling for a time you will not have that compulsion to gamble anymore.
Most of the time people doesn't have anywhere to spend time. This lands them into gambling and the initial luck could bring win. If the person have well known about gambling he/she will take the profit and leave it for the day. The new ones will continue to wager and starts to dream. They don't know within few days we're gonna destroy all the dreams. Better choice is keep yourself away, once entered we can't easily come out of it. This happens because of the loss we had experienced keeping us active to recover and end gambling.
360  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: September 07, 2023, 11:33:05 PM
Who are the ones after their selfish goals, is it Nayib Bukele the president of El-Savador or the people at large or the other government officials that supports every fruitful developments in El-Savador, what you don't understand can be asked, do you care in knowing the worth on their treasury or the investment made on bitcoin in particular, of which am sure the answer to each were here.
Well, what are the selfish goals pursued by Bukele? You have an answer to this question. I'm curious to read about it. At the expense of the treasury, I know some points about the treasury, investments in Bitcoin. At the moment, this is not a secret for those who are really interested in this issue.
I just did not notice the moment that all the new initiatives of the president were supported by the people. Somehow, people are not very willing to participate in all these processes.
All initiatives of a leader will never be supported by all the masses of his country. There will be positive and negative attitudes. Why Nayib Bukele wanted to adopt Bitcoin that was open to the public. So any decision he made was important to Bitcoin adoption. When a politician saw that his country's people living in the modern age were spending 22 percent of his country's GDP on sending and receiving remittances, he decided to adopt Bitcoin to reduce this rate, and he was absolutely right. Any people of a country must wait some time to see the results of its development. The people of El Salvador will soon see how much Nayib Bukele contributed. Those who are anti-politicians will certainly try to portray these issues in a negative way. But people have welcomed his policies and his victory in the upcoming elections will be reflected.
Not everyone understands this technical things. It is the responsibility of the government to picture it and make the common people understand the goodness and how they have lowered the unwanted 22% and this will surely increase support from the people who had been talking negative about the adoption of bitcoin. No politician would take such a strong stand and follow it, amidst the opposition from different financial service authorities. Most of the time the volatility is portrayed by the people as the negative thing, none talk about the spending on sending and receiving remittances.
