Human nature is the root of all evil in this world, human greed, everyone wants a lot of money, so he is willing to do anything to get it. Money is just a tool for us to use, don't blame it when our behavior is the cause of it all. Money is created by people, and people kill each other to get their hands on money.
362  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will BTC do in event of US default on its debt? on: January 30, 2023, 12:04:26 PM
Thanks for the comments.  The relationship between BTC, and all cryptos, and the US dollar is complex, to say the least.  The Republicans seem hell-bent on using the threat of default as leverage to get what they want.  We might default for a short period, but Congress will almost certainly do something to stop that.
I am worried about the deficit and the long term future.
In the meantime, I will make some additional investments in BTC and other cryptocurrencies.

If it can happen, let it happen, I very much expect the US government to default. When an old empire collapses, a new one is born and that's bitcoin's chance. Maybe people won't choose bitcoin as an alternative, but the future is unpredictable, and we have every right to hope. The centralized financial system will be replaced by the decentralized financial system, why not?
363  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would you do if you get a time machine now? on: January 30, 2023, 12:00:11 PM
If there was a time machine, most people would want to go back to the cheapest price of Bitcoin and buy as much as possible to get rich. But time cannot be reversed. Now that you know the potential and value of Bitcoin, it's never too late to buy. Buy and hold for a long time, when BTC reaches a new ATH in the future, you can still make a profit.


I don't even need a time machine, because from now on we can see the future of bitcoin and as long as we invest now, we still have the potential to make big profits in the future. Bitcoin is still pretty cheap, and imagine if we buy bitcoin now and in 10 years bitcoin hits $1 million, we will also be rich without going back in time. Don't think about things that will never happen, live with reality and don't let it slip away again.
364  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in Bitcoin now so you don't have to regret it later. on: January 30, 2023, 11:54:50 AM
Many of us has faced the similar situation where we came across Bitcoin few years back and prices were also low at that time but somehow didn't pay attention to it and years later on when we realised what we have missed the regret and guilt factor is always there.But even if you know about it's potential and didn't invest in it then you are making a big mistake but I am happy that have invested small amounts in it for long term that will give me returns in the future.

I believe that even if you go back to the past and you forget everything that is happening in the present, meaning that you do not know about the future, you will not choose to invest in bitcoin at that time. Simply put, people feel nostalgia for the past when they see the present, if bitcoin crashes, they will say they were right not to invest bitcoin at that time. People tend to be reluctant to accept the new, but will regret seeing it succeed in the present. That is human greed.
365  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Main reason government won't fully accept bitcoin on: January 30, 2023, 11:47:34 AM
People be saying that governments hate bitcoin due to it being used as a money laundering or tax evasion tool. Do note that those kinds of acts require a FIAT currency in the first hand, which is trackable. Heck, even most cryptocurrencies are also indeed trackable if it being used improperly.

Why does bitcoin being blamed, where in fact, FIAT is the oldest tool that is being used to launder money and tax evasion? That is absurd. Even today, it is still being used. So one of the root causes is simple, it is beyond their monetary control.
It is all just excuses, and they are not just blaming bitcoin for sponsoring terrorism and money laundering, they are blaming bitcoin for global warming as well. All of these are crap excuses to force us to give up bitcoin, but they have failed consistently, bitcoin is still growing and becoming more popular.
Governments know well about cryptocurrencies and they also know that money laundering and illegal activities are happening good through fiat. But they keep on pointing cryptocurrency as the cause for money laundering and illegal activities. In most of the third world countries the politicians itself doesn't know about cryptocurrencies, so they stand against its usage.

It is true that politicians don't have time to learn bitcoin, but they have advisors, leading experts in economics, so they don't know bitcoin is strange. As a politician, you need to embrace all the innovations of the world if you want your country to thrive or not be called a stupid politician. So I believe they all know bitcoin very well, and that's why they don't accept them.

The last match for this week between Udinese vs Verona and at the beginning of this league Udinese has got 6 consecutive wins which makes they can gets top 4 positions on standings league but i don't know why after that seems their performance were decline and Udinese has poor records with only gets 1 wins from 11 matches

Udinese's performance dropped dramatically. However, in the last match, Udinese won a narrow 1-0 against Sampdoria. The udinese team is not weak. When players are confident they are able to play well. And we got proof of that early in the season. Their opponent Hellas Verona in the next match is a weak opponent. I think Udinese will win against Verona if the Udinese players are confident. But Udinese's recent performances don't look like they will be able to win easily.

Currently, Klopp's career at Liverpool is on the line and it is clear that they cannot relax in the current conditions because at the moment it can be said that their performance is still not going smoothly.

Liverpool has a lot of star players in their squad. Since they are not performing well despite having many experienced players, it can be assumed that it is the failure of the coach. Coach Klopp is unable to stabilize the team. And the important thing is that Liverpool's match strategy is not stable. The bond between the players is now weak due to lack of match strategy. In this case, if Klopp cannot stabilize the team and Liverpool's performance is not regular then Liverpool management may decide to sack Klopp.
368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: January 30, 2023, 07:17:03 AM
All possibilities are still going to happen in this case but on the other hand we also have to be realistic in the pre-match this time especially since we have statistics and match history.
The advantage for them is indeed for the first leg to play at Anfield but this is not a guarantee for them to win either of course because they really have to be wary of Madrid who seem to know what to do by defending and counterattacking quickly like in the previous final.
The UEFA Champion League is the only tournament targeted to be able to get positive results apart from the English Premier League because several tournaments have been eliminated such as the FA Emirates Cup which has failed to advance to the next round because of a 2-1 score defeated by Brighton.
However, against Real Madrid is not an easy job but the hope that Liverpool can beat them has not disappeared from us considering the position in the PL standings to be able to play in the UCL next season is very tight competition.
At least during leg 1 at Anfield, Liverpool will try to score more than 2 goals as capital to play in leg 2.

Liverpool's position is not good now. They are also dropping points against weaker teams in the Premier League. Still they have a strong squad and strong attack. Liverpool is capable of fighting against big teams. However, considering the current performances of the two teams, Real Madrid will be ahead. Coach Ancelotti is very experienced. He knows very well how to strategize matches in a competitive league like the Champions League.

370  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Get Bitcoin Holdings for your child from infant. on: January 29, 2023, 04:41:51 PM
I guess this is a strategy for someone who wants to invest on Bitcoin for a long term but is scared of waiting  for too long.
So many persons will want to invest on Bitcoin for a long term  but they end up find it difficult to have the patience on their investment and wants an instant shoot up of Bitcoin price,in other for them to sell and make profit,they end up been disappointed when it doesn't go as they wanted it since they don't understand the cyclic movement of Bitcoin. They end up procrastinating they will invest and some that have already invested will get fustrated when Bitcoin is in it bear market by selling their bitcoin.
  My suggestion to these set of people is that we should invest on Bitcoin for our children from infantry to teenage. In my country people starts planing for the future of their children from the moment the child is put to bed. Family and well wishers gives money to the child when they come to visit the new born baby to express their happiness for what God has done. Some parents the moment they give birth to a child they open a bank account for the child so that every month from their income they put some fraction of money to the child's account. Some money been given to the child during his birthday celebrations and other ceremonies or visit they always put it into the child's account in other to secure the child's future.
  When this child becomes a teen in high school this money must have accumulated to a reasonable amount which is used to support the child to either further his education,start up a trade or learn a skill. Fiat currency is fast depreciating because of inflation, why don't you buy Bitcoin Holdings for your child from infant and do all his savings in Bitcoin so that by the time the child becomes a teenager,  Bitcoin price might have hit $500k and above. This way you can have a long term holdings in Bitcoin.
What is your opinion on my suggestion, is it a guarantee for the child's future and will  enable you to benefit from Bitcoin ?
  Grin

My opinion on your suggestion is that investing in Bitcoin for your child's future could be a good idea, but it's not a guarantee for their future. Bitcoin is a volatile asset and its price can fluctuate dramatically. It's important to understand that the future value of Bitcoin is uncertain and no one can predict its exact value in the future. However, investing in Bitcoin for a long term could be a good strategy if you are willing to bear the risk of price fluctuations. It's important to educate yourself on the risks involved in investing in cryptocurrencies and to always have a diversified investment portfolio. Additionally, it's always a good idea to consult a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

I agree with you. Bitcoin is really suitable for long-term investment but if we bet our children's future on bitcoin, we should consult with financial advisors before deciding. To be fair, bitcoin is too risky and no one can be sure that it will survive or will rise in price in the future. So using them to save for our children's future is a mistake.
371  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are Your Kids Aware Of Bitcoin? Teach Them. on: January 29, 2023, 04:34:05 PM
   I have a son who is currently 2 years old so far, but he has already planned with me that at the age of 9 years old, I will gradually teach him about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency from its usages and features. Little by little if he is made to understand its importance that can help anyone.

I will slowly familiarize him with how it is used (bitcoin) so that he turn high school, At least He have a deep and broad knowledge about this matter. That's my plan for my son. I won't force him to understand it right away but I will just show him how it helps our family life.
2 years old I think he still doesn't understand the world of technology. I guess you should wait for him to be 6 or 7 years old to teach him what bitcoin is and how to use it. I also don't have children, of course what I do is teach my close relatives about bitcoin and how to invest properly so that they are slowly able to understand what bitcoin is.

In my country, there are still many people who do not understand and have never heard of the name bitcoin, especially those who are in their 40s and above, of course, they need patience and the right way of delivery to introduce them to bitcoin.

He said he would teach his kids about bitcoin when they are 9 years old. 9 years old is the right age to know about bitcoin. But it's still young, and I advise you not to force him too much if he doesn't like bitcoin. At that age, what they need most is to play and learn the basics of life, not just focus on bitcoin. Bitcoin is still not needed so much at that age.
372  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CEX deserves all criticism but not the hate on: January 29, 2023, 04:24:43 PM
CEX deserves all the hates it getting now but doesn't mean it has also not been helpful to bitcoin and crypto space.
I know that most issues that affected bitcoin and crypto space as a whole was mainly from Centralise exchange in 2022 but that can't just make us stop using it  instead we should be more cautious on the centralise exchange we use and since the whole issues happened , Government are going to strengthen the regulation of centralise and there will be more transparency from the exchange to their customers, especially with regards to custody of customers assets and proof of reserves .
Apart from the from this issues CEX has really helped in increasing bitcoin and crypto investors because most investors are not scared of buying coins from them because they are too many crypto scammers online and I myself got scammed last year,After that I come to the conclusion that if not CEX am not buying any coin.
Though I buy from CEX but I am always careful on the one's I use and I also use binance p2p. Some of the trusted one's are :
Binance
Coinbase
Kucoin
Kraken
Bybit
There are definitely others and they may be better than this I listed but this are the ones I have used
After the whole issues of FTX my advice is though buying from CEX is safer but storing all your funds there should be avoided and for holders just stick with DEX.

Honestly, I never hated CEX, even if FTX's demise happened, FTX is just 1 small exchange, and it doesn't represent all other exchanges. I have been using coinbase for more than 7 years and I have never had a problem with it, and I have not heard from anyone about coinbase solidity, they just spread the demise of FTX. It's like someone hates CEX and intentionally spreads Fuds about it.
373  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it safe to acquire Bitcoin without having the basic knowledge? on: January 29, 2023, 04:13:01 PM
I was talking to a neighbour within the weekend and suddenly he grew so much passion in wanting to invest but now the problem is that his wanting me do this for him with excuses of not having the basic knowledge and I've told him to Google and do his own research about it.
I want to know if it's safe to buy Bitcoin without having the basic knowledge of it ?

You can tell him that he can invest in bitcoin anytime as long as he has knowledge about it. Don't worry about missing out on cheap bitcoin as we are still in the bear season so there is still plenty of time to buy bitcoins. If you study hard, it can take 1 to 2 weeks to master the basic knowledge and at that time the price of bitcoin is still very cheap to buy. Knowledge is more important than buying cheap bitcoins.

Tomorrow Arsenal will play against Manchester City in the FA Cup match which of course this will be very interesting, because if Arsenal manage to beat Manchester City in this match then that is an extraordinary achievement. Because if Arsenal win this match then Arsenal have managed to beat two Manchesters in a row, and maybe that will be a historical record as well.
I hope that a winning result for Arsenal can happen in this match, because of course it will be the perfect result for Arsenal in this season and in this moment.

This is a very important match. But I think Manchester City will win this match. I say this because Arsenal's main goal now is to win the Premier League title. They will not focus on the Fa Cup now. And I don't think they will build their main squad to win FA Cup matches. I guess both teams will play defensively in this match. Because no team would want an important player of their squad to face injury while performing in this match.
375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 26, 2023, 06:23:38 PM
Leverkusen's form is still on a positive trend. This win against Bochum has made their winning streak five matches. The score was a comfortable one (2-0) maybe but Leverkusen still should be careful in their defense as well. Because they gave quite many opportunities to their opponent to score. If there was a more capable team against them the scenario might have been much different. But still it is of course great to see this high improvement in their offense performance.

There isn't even a match that they scored less than two goals considering their last five league matches. This form has already carried them to the 8th position. But still there is a seven-point gap with the 6th position at which they can get a ticket for the Europa Conference League. It will be difficult for them to catch up.
It has been all green for Leverkusen since November picking up three points in their last five games. VFL Bochum wasn't a small opponent for Leverkusen even as Bochum struggle to escape relegation, i don't blame the few times of slacking defense from Leverkusen but in all they kept a clean sheet, their next game will be against Dortmund i just hope the keep up with the performance and also improve on their defense as the both team meet.

Leverkusen's performance at the start of this season has been very poor. But gradually, Leverkusen managed to find the problems within their team. And they were able to solve the problems. And the performance of the Leverkusen team at the moment is very strong and consistent. And so it would be foolish to think that Dortmund will easily win against Leverkusen. The match will be very competitive.

I see roma very dull lately, not that it's the coach's fault (who is influential) but it seems they have lost their early season edge, maybe they're tired
I see Napoli winning in this match too, and I bet my 3 euros on it
Making bets with very little money is not very valuable, you should put at least 100 euros to bet Napoli as the winner and you will get a lot of profit, Napoli's points are too far and it is impossible for other teams to catch up. In the next match Napoli will meet Roma and it looks like that will make Napoli even more enthusiastic about scoring again to add many points at the top of the standings even though in the previous match when Napoli met Roma only got one goal but I'm sure in this match Napoli will get a lot goal.
I bet for fun and to prove myself right
not for profit or money
let's just say it's just fun and an extra incentive to watch the games, no more, no less
then I don't want to get rich, it's a pastime ahaha
Even if betting is for fun, no one wants to lose their hard-earned money.  Everyone has more or less the objective of winning and winning the bet. When one places a bet, of course he bet for his favorite and supported team, so he hopes that his supported team will win.  In this case he automatically wins his bet ahaha. But yes gambling is fun and can be enjoyed as fun.  As long as you are not deeply addicted to it. I always dare to bet for Napoli.  Because Napoli is still in the number 1 position in the Italian league

I agree with you. No one wants to lose his hard-earned money. However, gambling often results in us losing money. But if we are addicted to gambling we have to face a lot of problems. So gambling should be thought of as a game. And should never spend a lot of money. However, Napoli is more likely to win against Roma. Because a few days ago we saw that the Napoli team had a wonderful 5-1 win against Juventus. I think they will win against Roma too.

On the other hand, Real Madrid still has the potential to lose points if they are unable to maximize their chances of winning matches apart from Barcelona. Not only can you expect Barcelona to lose while Real Madrid can also lose for the rest of the season. So it must be very interesting to see who wins the title in the end because so far La Liga has 17 or 18 match. I'm still very confident about Real Madrid's chances, but I admit Barcelona this season has been impressive.

The position of the Real Madrid team is now somewhat unstable. Real Madrid's performance has deteriorated slightly, especially after the World Cup break. And they dropped points in several matches. And if this continues, Real Madrid will fall further behind in the title fight. Also, Real Madrid is still dependent on Benzema's performance. And Benzema is not in good form now. If Benzema is not in good form this season, Real Madrid's chances of winning La Liga are very low.

Marseille has been playing fantastically recently, so it's no wonder that they are moving up the league. They've picked up six straight victories, so they should be taken seriously. It would be wonderful to have a different team win the championship this year instead of PSG. A more thrilling and intense league would result from it. I hope this season brings some unexpected title contenders to the league.

There is no doubt that Marseille are playing very well. They have won their last 6 matches. But Marseille is still 2 points behind Lyon. And 5 points behind PSG. Lyon are the most likely to top the table if PSG lose the points. I don't think Marseille will win the title. However, PSG is still the favorite to win the title. Although they have dropped points in a few matches, I think they will be able to return to form very quickly.

Match between karlseuher vs paderborn, Karlsruher matches at the home stadium this season are high scoring. They have a 16:17 goal difference in nine matches at the home stadium this season. Six of those nine games went over 2.5 goals. Paderborn are playing well this season. They are seven points behind the promotion playoff, so maybe the more realistic is to stay mid table this season. During January, Paderborn had four friendly matches two wins, one draw, and one loss .In the last game, they played 1-1 against Arminia Bielefeld. Most Paderborn matches away from home were high scoring. Six of eight road games went over 2.5 goals. Paderborn has won this their opponent this season at home which ended 5-0 against this opponent. So let's expect Over 2.5 goals for this tie.

Pederborn started the season well. But they lost the truck. And I forget the last time I saw this team win. Pederborn has lost consecutively in the last four matches. Although Pederborn will face Karlsruher team in the next match, I am not sure if Pederborn will win this match. Their team performance is very poor. Karlsruher is not a strong team. If Pederborn can perform a bit better then maybe after a long time we will see a Pederborn team win.

Yeh absolutely some of his crutial player are missing the big series against India, the player like Kane Williamson, Glenn Phillips, Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi and many more who can contribute with team performance in order to prevent his team whitewash defeat against India in this ODI series. I don't want to say that India beat the team whose key player are missing but just I want to say that if these player were available for this series then it will be nail biting match and may be the result will be different.
New Zealand missed Kane Williamson without a doubt but do you really think that Trent Boult and Tim Southee could make a difference in Indian conditions. The first match was really interesting as Michael Bracewell took the team from an impossible situation to a near victory but then the rest were clearly one sided encounters.
No doubt Michael Bracewell do some sensational performance he play some brutal inning against indian bowler but unfortunately didn't help his team to win, while the absence of Kane Williamson really affect their batting strength because his recent performance against Pakistan show us how can he will be really helpful for his team in the series against India , while in this series most of good performance were shown by indian fast bowler compare to spinner so if Tim Southee and Trent Boult were included in squad they may also got hight wickets like indian fast bowler and will safe his team from whitewash.
New Zealand might have been stronger if Tim Southee and Trent Boult were in the team. It was the credit of the Indian batsmen and bowlers. Because of their performance, a top class team New Zealand has been whitewashed. Only two batsmen scored good runs but almost everyone except Hardik Pandya scored low. If the top order four batsman can complete the game then I think India will definitely win most of the match. New Zealand had a good start but failed at the end. Michael Bracewell could not give anything good for the team in the last match of ODI series.

We have to accept that Indian players have played very well in this series. Due to the excellent performance of the Indian batsmen in the first match, India set a target of more than 350. And in the second match itself, New Zealand's batting disaster was witnessed due to the outstanding performance of the Indian bowlers. And in the last match as well, the two Indian openers had a partnership of over 200. It is because of the excellent performance of the bowlers and batsmen that they have been able to whitewash a team like New Zealand.
