Hannover, one of the teams that had the most to win, could not win, and this was something that could have happened but Kaiserslautern was much superior, I don't know, but these teams from the 2nd Bundesliga have sparked a lot of speculation
Hannover and Kaiserslautern were also candidates for promotion at the beginning of the season. But that are no longer looking so good for Hannover. But Kaiserslautern is not far away. They are one point away from place 3. If Hamburger SV will win against Heidenheim and Kaiserslautern also win against St. Pauli then they are already at place 3.

Darmstadt and Hamburger are the most likely to top the table. Because other than these two teams, no other team is able to play consistently well. The performances of teams like Hannover and Kaiserslautern are not stable. Hannover have dropped points in their last few matches and is currently seventh in the table. And so Darmstadt is my favorite to win the title this season. Because Darmstadt has lost only one match this season.

All thanks to Jadeja, Patel, Shami & Rohit India are in a commanding position in this test match. What debut by Murphy this guy has a long way to go. 7 wickets in his debut match proves he is a spinner who will be feared by batters in the future.

A lead of 200+ runs and the pitch now showing a lot of turns for the spinner means that this test series won't go for all 5 days. In my opinion it will end by the fourth day.
Rohit Sharma 120
Axar 84
R Jadeja 70
Shami 37
Relying on these 4 batsmen, India managed to collect 400 runs in the first innings and gave a lead of 223 runs.The spinners are getting more advantage than the pressers on this pitch so there is not much advantage for the Indian pressers but the two spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja will do well enough and India can tie Australia on the lead of 223 runs. Anyway to elaborate, Todd Murphy played brilliantly in Test debut and picked up 7 wickets in the first innings which is a great record for Australia.
The pitch is spin assisted. It was already predicted that India would have a slight advantage on such a pitch. But I don't think Australian batsmen will play that badly. Australia scored only 177 runs in their first innings. On the other hand, Rohit, Axar and Jadeja's great batting was India's collection of 400. I expected a better performance from the Australian batsmen in the second innings. But they have faced an even more dire batting disaster. Australia lost the seventh wicket for 67 runs. Collecting 100 runs is now very difficult for Australia.

The Australian batsmen are not able to survive long at the crease with the extraordinary bowling of Jadeja and Ashwin. Australia lost 9 wickets for 90 runs. He picked up 5 wickets in the second innings. And Jadeja took 2 wickets. In the first innings, he took 3 wickets and Jadeja took 5 wickets. Due to the excellent performance of these two players, India was able to defeat the Australian team very easily. The match is going to end in just 3 days.

Children should not be concerned with earning money or be led to believe that earning money is the most important thing in life, but teaching them generally about what money is, which kinds of money exist, and how Bitcoin is different from other types of money is probably useful. Of course, it's important not to make it boring and not to force children into learning these things because then they might hate it all later, which is even worse for crypto adoption than if a child never heard of Bitcoin. So I agree about teaching children, but I disagree that the motive for it should be around investment and becoming rich.

We are all investors here, so talking about bitcoin without talking about investment is an omission. Bitcoin is almost exclusively for investment, other utilities will be almost useless if it no longer generates profits. I think bitcoin education for children need not be rushed or too early, when they are old enough we can teach them later. Bitcoin is not a necessary skill for their age.
344  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Bitcoin will lead the world currency market?? on: February 10, 2023, 02:48:16 PM
US dollar is the world accepted currency and can be used as a medium of exchange.  In the crypto world, Bitcoin is the most popular and the highest accepted currency with greater value. Different countries have permitted bitcoin for transaction and many of them are thinking so and will eventually do so. Its acceptance is gradually increasing day by day. Do you think bitcoin will be the leader of the world’s currency market like US dollar in the future?Huh

I will agree with you that bitcoin is gaining wide acceptance, and it is getting bigger and bigger. But to think that it will replace the US dollar or government currency as the main currency in the world, that is unlikely. I think there's not even a chance for that to happen unless the government gets control of bitcoin and can print more bitcoins.
345  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When to sell bitcoin before the next bear market starts? on: February 10, 2023, 02:44:00 PM
I think, the price of Bitcoin will definitely hit $80,000 before the end of 2024 for those that purchased early last year and this year to have a potential opportunity to make a huge amount of income from their investments. There is a sign that showed from the beginning of this new year that the price of Bitcoin will really pump this year, and next year to help both long term investors and short term investors to recover from their losses. I believe, this bearish market will soon disappear for bullish market to appear for investors to start selling their coins to achieve what they want to achieve in this season.

What do you rely on to be so sure, or just what do you want it to happen? The market is not so benevolent that it will only increase the price and help those who invest can make a profit. If things were that simple, I don't think anyone would have to lose their investment. We're still in bear season and it's not going away anytime soon.

After his name was dropped from the Chelsea squad that will compete in the Champions League, it is rumored that Aubameyang will soon leave the Stanford Brigade. Aubameyang is finding it increasingly difficult to get a place in the main squad after Chelsea brought in several new strikers and lost the trust of Potter. Aubameyang was in the city of Milan after Potter gave him permission to take a vacation, Aubameyang presence in Milan gave an indication that his move from Chelsea was connected.
Aubameyang has been planning to leave from stamford bridge very soon when the transfer season will come back again. This time he can only stay in the club. He was feeling so bad with potter removed him from the UCL. Potter has no brain.
He keeps using a useless player that didn't give any contribution to the club. The problem was not on the players but it must be on the coach. It doesn't make sense to remove someone who has been contributing a lot to the club.
Potter was stupid coach for sure.
It is an interesting decision and should usually be a sign of strength if a club is able to just leave Aubameyang at home entirely for a match in the Champions League even when he is healthy.
I think Aubameyang is still a player who can contribute to the team in certain situations during the game and in top shape he might even be someone for the starting squad, but if I followed Chelsea correctly, he didn't really have a chance to show his best very often. This might be another career that is going down the drain very soon. Auba will turn 34 this summer. That might either be his very last chance to leave the club for another decent club, not world class club. Or maybe we will soon see him in Saudi Arabia or the USA. I can imagine he is that kind of guy who is going to cash in big one more time no matter where.
Aubameyang is still having potential. We can't deny the fact that if he was old enough but he was giving a huge contribution to the Chelsea during his perform since the group stage. That's why the decision taken by potter was an inappropriate decision to remove him from the main squad for UCL.
That's why he thinks move to another club shall become a better decision rather than staying even longer in the club. that's what im thinking about that now. Potter was thinking he was the smartest coach he has no achievements.

I don't agree that Aubameyang's performance with Chelsea was good. Aubameyang was brought in by Chelsea management as a scorer. But Aubameyang has scored just one goal in 11 Premier League games. And could not assist. Would you call that a good performance? Don't forget he is an experienced striker. The team expects a lot from him. But he failed to live up to expectations. So naturally the Chelsea coach is not interested in keeping Aubameyang in the team.

The two West Indies openers are playing brilliantly. West Indies collected 221 runs without losing any wicket. Two batsmen scored over 100. I don't think Zimbabwean bowlers will bowl that badly. The series is sure to be a draw. West Indies may collect big, but chances of victory are slim.
The performance of the two West Indies openers impressed me. Chanderpaul remains unbeaten with 101 runs. And his strike rate is 34.7. And Brathwaite scored 116 runs unbeaten. Brathwaite's strike rate is 47.15. The two West Indies openers are batting very responsibly. Also, Zimbabwe's bowling is very weak. However, the match was delayed due to rain. Even though two days have already ended, not even an inning has ended.
Chanderpaul and Braithwaite playing real test cricket. In recent days with more T20 matches played, players started to play test cricket matches same as T-20 matches. Already two days over and this match gonna end in draw. Within few days the much expected India vs Australia Border - Gavaskar Trophy to begin. Four test matches between the two will be enjoyable days for the cricket fans.

I agree with you. We haven't been watching real Test cricket lately. Most teams have more than 4 runs on the night. But the main aim of Test cricket is to score fewer runs but survive at the crease. But now it is not commonly seen. However, the two West Indies openers have been playing well, albeit against relatively weak opposition. I think these two openers will collect at least 150 runs. Because the performance of the bowlers of Zimbabwe is not good on this pitch.
348  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which countries do you think this year will adopt Bitcoin as a Legal tender? on: February 06, 2023, 03:11:58 AM
Surely it will be some small country. Large countries will not adopt Bitcoin any time soon.

That's for sure, we won't be able to tell which country will accept bitcoin as legal tender until they have an official announcement. But it's certainly a small, poor, third world country...not a great power. Great power has a developed economy, they don't need bitcoin. Like the early investors in bitcoin were mainly small investors hoping to get rich with a small amount of money.
349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: First time of owning bitcoin on: February 06, 2023, 03:07:23 AM
I was really happy when I bought BTC for the first time. I wanted to buy more immediately, but I couldn't, even tho I bought about $50 of BTC. After that I always wanted to have more BTC, the urge is very strong.

What are you happy for, I mean what does bitcoin give you as soon as you buy it? To be honest, buying bitcoin for the first time doesn't give any emotion, it will just give you a feeling of happiness when you buy it and then bitcoin increases in value. Invest in bitcoin to make a profit, if there is no profit, then we have no emotion at all.
350  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoiners are not friendly physical? on: February 06, 2023, 03:01:37 AM
I was very happy  to joined bitcointalk. org November 7 2020, but I came to discovered one thing in the community that is making me wondering, if bitcoiners don't trust themselves by seeing themselves face to face like the way church members or Muslim members love themselves by seeing themselves face to face after the service. Going to three years now, am trying to see some of the bitcoiners in my area to discuss with them how to join hands together to promote Bitcoin in the society but they said they prefer discussing it online than see each other physical.
Are they ashame to be a bitcoiners? or they are among the people that think Bitcoin is a scam?
Why Bitcoin users are afraid of see each other physical?

I also don't want too many people to know I'm invested in bitcoin, I'm not ashamed, but I don't like to brag, and I don't want to be asked too much about my private life. Bitcoin is such a hot topic all over the place that most people would ask a lot of things if they knew you invested in bitcoin. Investing in bitcoin is very risky and I do not want to give financial advice to anyone including my loved ones.
351  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are you interested in bitcoin? on: February 06, 2023, 02:57:49 AM
Because I'm still a beginner here, and still don't know much about bitcoin. So, I want to learn more about bitcoin from you guys. I want to ask you guys. Why are you interested in investing in bitcoin?

I also want to ask you, why you are interested in bitcoin. I don't want to be hypocritical like the people who always say morality here, I care about bitcoin because I need money, bitcoin can bring me to profit as well as can make me rich, while the other investments can't help me. Because the volatility as well as the sharp rise in the price of bitcoin can make me more money than other asset classes.

I would have never expected Manchester City to be that weak at defending. This was what Tottenham wanted from this game. Kane scored thanks to one of the weaknesses in their defense for example.
If you watch their previous game then you would noticed that most of the time, Manchester City kept their possession and keep on attacking therefore they dont really need to defend at all but shits do happened though and in this case they lost to Spurs despite that this is a good chance for City to get 3 points while Arsenal didnt get any point

I wouldn't say that Tottenham played badly. However, Tottenham was very lucky so they managed to get three points in this match. The performance of Manchester City players was quite visible throughout the match. They played very well. Scored a lot of tries. But they could not break the defense of Tottenham. Especially in this match, I would like to praise the performance of Lloris and Dier. The performance of these two players was very good in this match.

Inter won as expected vs Milan by 1 goal allowing them to keep a 3 points distance from Roma who profited too from Lazio and Atalanta loss of points. Meanwhile Milan is in a chaotic situation after the third defeat in a row and only getting 2 points from 5 matches..
Juve will have a game vs Salernitana and they are expected to win after 3 bad results. At least Allegri can smile there tho, I still remember his angry reaction vs Lazio lol

The AC Milan team was second in the points table. And now they are the sixth team in the table. They have not won in the last 5 matches. And they have lost all the last three matches. On the other hand, Inter Milan, Roma and Lazio have climbed the table. However, if we want to finish the season in the top four of the points table, consistency of performance is definitely required. Because several teams are competing to qualify for the Champions League.

~
Paris Saint Germain will play without their top scorer
Kylian Mbappe will reported be absent from the Paris Saint Germain vs Bayern Munich match. He had a little trouble when Paris Saint Germain met Montpellier last week

Even though there are still two other strikers such as Messi and Neymar, Mbappe's absence will reduce the pressure on PSG's front line as they usually do
Mbappe will be absent for 3 weeks so yeah he will not play vs Bayern in the first leg unless the diagnosis is questionable of course which is unlikely to be the case here.
PSG has to count on its defence first and for Messi in the second place. PSG should not allow Bavarians to score at any cost so they could get a chance later to win.
In the other hand, there is a good news for PSG in Ligue 1 since both Marseille and Lens lost points allowing the gap to be 8 points Wink

Mbappe was much needed against Bayern Munich. Mbappe can counterattack very quickly. This would make it easier to break Bayern Munich's defense. But the performance of the Messi and Neymar duo is extraordinary. If these two are able to perform well, it will not be difficult for PSG to beat the Bayern Munich side.
However, the Ligue 1 title is not PSG's main goal. They will still want to have it. Marseille and Lens dropped points to widen their gap with PSG. The road to the title is getting easier for PSG.

xavi risked everything to revive the Barcelona squad which had slumped last season, even though they failed in the champions league but there was still a la liga trophy and also a uel that xavi had to get. I don't think it's too early to congratulate Barcelona on their achievements this season.
I am sure Xavi and Barcelona would not want any congratulations right now, they know the job is not done yet and they must go on playing like this if they want to win the La Liga. Mallorca shocked Madrid today by beating them 1-0, that helped Barcelona to go on and beat Sevilla 3-0; Barcelona are now 8 points ahead of Real Madrid. Barca are slowly getting to the title, 8 points is a lot to close, so if Barcelona are consistent, they will win the La Liga, and if they win it Xavi will be honored as the coach that has brought happiness back to Barca fans faces.
Barcelona seem to be back to their old ways. After Xavi became the coach of the team, he applied many strategies but did not succeed. But looking at the last few matches, it seems that Xavi has succeeded this time. I think Barcelona need to win the La Liga title.
I think it's done, Barcelona are going to be the champions of LA Liga this season, 8 points is quite a lot because Barcelona are in a great form, their defense only conceded 7 goals in 20 matches, this doesn't mean that they have the best defenders in the world, it means that Xavi is doing one hell of a job to keep other teams away from their goal.

It will be very difficult for Real Madrid to close the gap of 8 points. Because Benzema, the main and most important player in their squad, is injured. And this season he is not playing well. So Real Madrid's attacking performance has declined badly. Barcelona, on the other hand, is consistently playing well. In every match we see Barcelona dominate. Barcelona's gameplay against Sevilla was outstanding. Barcelona does not give the Sevilla team much chance to attack.

Bayern Munich were finally like their usual version that we were used to watch. Even getting a red card wasn't enough to stop them. Kimmich's red card was a really unnecessary one by the way. If Bayern Munich weren't in good condition before the red card this could have cost them really high. They got the momentum on their side and benefited from it nicely. Coman was amazing today by the way. His first goal was really a product of a great thing which was a mix of a shot and cross at the same time. The second one was also a very effective finesse shot.

I must add Musiala's relieving goal as well to this as well of course. He created the goal chance by himself completely. This result should improve their morale a lot.
Indeed such result will give the team a boost and confidence before facing PSG in Champions League after 8 days.
Bayern players might also be frustrated by losing the first spot that's why they were hungry for scoring. That was a punishment for Wolfsburg although scoring 2 goals since Bayern lost some firepower while playing with 10 players, otherwise the score might be bigger than that.

Bayern Munich won 4-2. But as Bayern Munich's overall gameplay better? I don't like Bayern Munich's overall gameplay. Wolfsburg's defense was very weak. Because of this Bayern Munich was able to score 4 goals. Bayern players made a total of 9 shots in this match. Four of these were on target and all scored. If they perform like that against PSG, they won't be able to win. Their gameplay needs more improvement.

The reason I hold is because I want to get the biggest profit possible, and I am not good at trading, I often lose in trades, so I decided holding would be more suitable for me. I left the market when the bear season came and came back later, I could say I missed the opportunity in the past. Now I know how the market works, so I have no reason to leave the market anymore. I will stay with the market till the end.

if I were an employee, I would ask my boss to pay me weekly. being paid weekly is actually much better than being paid monthly because usually people who are paid monthly will enter into a debt circle unless the payment received per month is large enough and can cover expenses every day.

If you spend unplanned and uncontrollably, even if you receive a daily salary, you will still be in debt. Get paid weekly or monthly, it's all good because we've done an excellent job, and they almost no difference. As for how we use them, that's up to us, can't blame getting a weekly paycheck that puts us in debt and a monthly salary that doesn't.

When the FTX scandal got exposed I am one of those saying it's over for centralized exchanges, now people will have no choice but to stay away from centralised exchanges because of this, I went to get a few DEX tokens for long term hold but I was damn wrong.

I don't see people leaving centralised exchange because of what happened with FTX, some moved their funds out of exchanges but after all the bad news cool off they go back, it seems centralised exchanges will always be people's favorite, they are doing very well. Look at Binance, after the FUD cleared deposits start coming in, look at Crypto.com, the FUD is no more and people are screaming the name.

Am I evil for wanting to see CEX go or at least become less important?

If you become eviler than that, you don't need to worry too much because no one will care what you think. Give me a reason to leave CEX, I have been using coinbase since 2013 till now, and I have not had any problem with it. You can't say I should leave Coinbase because FTX has collapsed.
