I think David warner ready to play champion trophy 2025 in ODI tournament in Pakistan if Australian cricket board select him. The decisin of retirement from test cricket is good beacuse now they will focus on T20 and leagues cricket short format. David Warner is very dangerous against Pakistan in ODI ans Test cricket. In last test match against Pakistan David Warner scored amazing fifty scores 57 runa in 75 balls out by Sajid khan and played an important role in victory of Australian against Pakistan.

David Warner is lucky enough in recent test, he was dropped so many times by Pakistani fielders. Warner is dangerous not only in front of Pakistani bowlers but he has the ability to destroy any bowling lineup. Warner has played 112 test matches with 44.5 runs average, there are not many players in test history who have such incredible test stats.

I was not aware that he has retired from the ODI format, he will now focus on league cricket. Since T20 is a short format retired players can play without any issue. MSD is still playing league cricket after he retired from all formats of cricket. Yes, he is undoubtedly one of the best opening batters that Australia has produced the good thing was that he was part of the World Cup winning team. He might be replaced by Marcus Harris that is what is being said by the Australian media.

David Warner is 37 years old and it's best time to leave test when you are at peak of your career. There are lots of T20 leagues going on around the world, I guess he will go for IPL only as other leagues are not paying much. Marcus Harris doesn't have an impressing test career, in his 26 test innings he wasn't able to score any century so far.

David Warner was definitely the best opener for Australia. The Australian batsman's ability to play in Test ODI and T23 format was excellent. He retired from Test cricket while in form and there are rumors that he will start his next career as a team coach. However, he has said that he will become a coach only if his wife allows him to become a coach. As much as David Warner has excelled in his career as a player, he will excel in his career as a coach. If he chooses coaching career then maybe Australia team can keep him as batting coach or as assistant coach but it's a matter of time before he has to decide to get license before he can take charge of a team.

Warner has retired from Test and ODI but will continue to play T20 cricket, as per my knowledge. He is no doubt one of the greatest opening batsmen produced in the history that can play test, ODI and T20 format. He play test as genuine test player while in T20I he is a solid hitter like a young player. Aussies have a good domestic setup and they will produce some other great opener to replace Warner.

Bitcoin DCA is open for everyone, as long as you are willing to invest at least 10$ in bitcoin every week there is good profit waiting for you, if you planning to invest for longer period. Here are result of investing 10$ a week for 10 years and 5 years.

"If you are born poor it’s not your mistake but if you die poor it’s your mistake." Whoever said this is very much true. As we are discussing on this thread, there are ways to improve your financial conditions for investing little amount in bitcoin for longer duration. Those who have enough cash can surely earn big here but there is room for those who have little cash with them.

What you said is true, no one should wait until he or she is in a comfortable zone before they can invest, why many people are poor today is because they don't think about expanding their cost with their little finance, they think big which is not a problem but they despise starting from the foundation, though investment is a mindset, when you don't have it, it will be almost impossible for you to invest if the minimum starting amount for such investment is 1$.

The calculations which I have shown in my previous posts are not about investing a big amount rather they show results of investing 10$ per week over a longer duration. If you are investing a small amount continuously then you are deemed to get success. 
It's all about educating yourself that bitcoin is a secure investment. I am saying Bitcoin is secure investment not just because I have Bitcoins but based on historical data. Those who want to improve there financial conditions and are not investing in Bitcoin are doing unjust with them. 

For you as person to think about investment, you should possess the spirit of patience in you, for business or investment to flourish obstacles must occur at this time, you keep holding I know that it may seem impossible at the beginning but I know that we can scale through if really want to suffer and earn better in future.

My advice for any potential investor is that whatever you have, go in with it, don't delay further because any delay can be seen as a missed or lost opportunity and this can be regretted forever. 

That's very good point. Delaying your investment plan wont give you anything. A thousand mile journey start with a single step, so is bitcoin investment. The first step will be difficult and its about convincing yourself to invest in Bitcoin. We have discussed so many scenarios here that show results of investing in bitcoin. Bitcoin do takes time but it gives guaranteed return more then any Bank can offer.

David Warner was out by Sajid Khan, and it was the leg before the wicket, and when he was out Australian team needed just 11 runs to win, and in his last, he got a chance to finish but unfortunately, he missed it.

Sajid Khan gave the ball inside but David Warner thought it would go outside off but he was wrong, the ball came inside and hit on his pads but the umpire didn't give it out and if the umpire knew it out so the umpire also give it because we will never see him, but Shan Masood took the review and it was out. Sajid Khan led to the end of David Wanrer's era.

Warner has last series but also the luckiest series of his career where he was dropped so many times by Pakistani fielders. You cant win a test match match if you regularly drop catches of key players. Pakistan was in this series without its key fast bowlers like Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah while Shaheen Shah got unfit in last match. I wrote earlier that Australia is not a place where you try your new bowlers or batsmen.
406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: January 07, 2024, 04:37:53 PM
Better fielding is more important than batting and bowling. A bowler bowled well but the fielders did not take the catch or did not field well due to which the confidence of the bowlers went down a bit which resulted in them not playing the ball in the right place later on. Pakistan finished the game quickly where the Test is a 5-day game. It was not easy for Pakistan to play against Australia on Australian soil, I admit it but Pakistan is one of the big teams and they must do well in the away series. A good performance at home is worthless if the visiting team can't do well against the opposition. Pakistan could not perform well against Australia on Australian soil, rather their performance has worsened.

Pakistan performance at there home soil is also not very encouraging and when it comes to playing test series at Australia its worse. I checked espncricinfo and find out that last time Pakistan won a test match in Australia was way back in 1995, since then its a dry period for Pakistan. First innings of last test gave some hope but it was shattered when Pakistan came to bat in second innings. Another whitewash at Australia, its nothing new.

You are not wrong Obim34 - however, the poor person should be trying to set himself up, to the best of his ability, so he does not have to think about or consider the possibility of selling his BTC, even if it becomes very tempting.  In other words, the greater and greater is the emergency fund, then the more likely all of the needs can be satisfied, and the BTC investment can continue to ride and serve as a kind of delayed gratification rather than considering that it needs to be tapped into in order to improve current needs or wants.

Maybe it takes 4-10 years or longer, before both the bitcoin portfolio and the emergency fund is built up high enough that other resources can start to be directed more towards current needs, wants and improving various aspects of the standard of living... and so there can be quite a bit of value in finding happiness in terms of living within your means and building your investment portfolio for a later date.. and hopefully you would not be so old in 4-10 years that you are not able to enjoy the various incremental ways that your BTC investment is likely to drag your standard of living upwardly with the passage of time.. even though it can seem like such a long time to get there.. especially for some guys who are investing in the $10 to $20 per week range, and it takes a year to invest $520 or $1,040, and it takes 10 years to invest $5,200 or $10,400.. so it could surely take a long time to build up your investment portfolio (including your BTC) in such a way that you might not feel as poor.. even if you still might not be exactly rich and might not be able to catch up to the rich person, but you can surely improve your own situation, even if you are disadvantaged in terms of the starting places of your finances.

Bitcoin DCA is open for everyone, as long as you are willing to invest at least 10$ in bitcoin every week there is good profit waiting for you, if you planning to invest for longer period. Here are result of investing 10$ a week for 10 years and 5 years.

You are right the innings of Pakistan was far better than the second innings. They lost because of poor batting otherwise they could have either draw the match if they had good lead. Pakistan bowling has not been as it was earlier. I am not sure taking action against the bowler will be the right thing to do who opted out of the test series.

This is not something new, Pakistan team is always having a whitewash at Australia. They are not able to manage pressure when playing at Australia. See they have good advantage in first innings but were not able to capitalise that advantage in second innings. Babar Azam who is backbone of Pakistan batting was not able to score even a fifty in his six innings, his highest score was 41. Players like Babar Azam need some break they are over hyped.

I prefer to invest in the DCA way because it is the best moted in my version, not unwilling to go the lumpsum way but I think about how the ability I have to think about the life that must be lived with adequate finances if it is entirely to the lumpsum then it will not be strong even at a certain time.

What I can afford is DCA, even though with relatively small money you can enter into bitcoin in any amount does not have to be flat every week, small size does not matter as long as it does not break every week it is the principle that I instill in DCA investment.

I opened a Coinmarketcap account that records all bitcoin purchases in a DCA manner, the average price is around $28K that I bought even though it is now $43K.

Starting more than a year, I have gotten a fairly high ROI even though it's not 100% but I will keep HODL and continue DCA.

See this picture,


There is a detailed post by @JayJuanGee where he discussed 6 Hypo's which explain results of DCA for period of 10 and 5 years. One can read that and see which method is suitable for him or in which hypo he falls. Those who are starting this year can go back to that post and get idea of why its recommended to accumulate Bitcoin in DCA manner.    
What I have seen so far in discussion here is that DCA is an excellent method of accumulating bitcoin but must be done over a period of 4 to 5 years.
It's great that you figured out that DCA is suitable for you since you can invest small amount regularly in Bitcoin. The whole point of discussion is to keep investing continuously and of course there will be time's when we have surplus cash which we can put in bitcoin.

Here are results of investing 10 dollars weekly into investment. After 5 years you have ROI of over 200% and there is no bank or any other centralised institute that gives you that much profit. Of course the ROI will go big if you increase your investment capital. That's why in DCA we trust.

Titas Sadhu was exceptional yesterday. She was first noticed by the selectors while participating in the ICC Women's Under-19 T20 World Cup. India won the trophy after defeating England in the final and it was Sadhu who was announced as player of the match (4-0-6-2). And she has quickly adopted to the spin friendly surfaces in India after that. Apart from Sadhu, opening seamer Renuka Singh Thakur also bowled well yesterday and nabbed the wicket of Alyssa Healy. This is a 3 match series and India are up 1-0. They need to win one more match. 

Winning first match of the series boost your confidence and gives your huge psychological advantage in upcoming matches. Aussies women batting was not able to play well the Indian bowling yesterday. Apart from Ellyse Perry and Phoebe Litchfield no one was able to contribute significantly to the target. In batting Indian openers just fell 5 runs short of achieving the target else it would be a ten wicket win for Indian women.

Pakistan should be blamed for the last test loss. Their batting was been an issue which needs to be worked on. The only good thing that happened with Pakistan in this series is that they found a good player Aamer Jamal. Mohmmad Hafiz wanted to beat Australia in Australia, end up getting defeated 3 - 0. A total failure of Pakistan batting can be blamed for the whitewash.

For the very first time in this series Pakistan batting clicked in first innings of last test and there bowlers did a good job to restrict Aussies to 299. Now in second innings Pakistan should have scored 250 if they can't make another 300. The whole batting line up collapsed on just 115 runs. Pakistan should take some serious actions against its so called best bowlers who either abstained from participating in this series or got unfit in the series.

I did a small calculation and figured out that you invested around 11 USD (10,000 Nigerian Naira) on Oct 7, 2023 and got 0.00035334 Bitcoins which are now worth 15.3 USD. So you are in profit, congrats.
If you don't have enough money then its better to keep investing small amount periodically into Bitcoin aka DCA. Not investing anywhere or not utilising your small money will give you nothing.

Buying in lump sum can also be good for the short term investment as to those who finds it necessary, maybe a period of 2 years. Imagine those who bought Bitcoin when the price was down as $15k and checking out the current price now that is already enough profit, now holding for a minimum of 2 years this is a blown up investment.

Here is my previous post on DCA vs LUMP SUM investment which is compiled over a period of last 4 years. You can see in the long run LUMP SUM investment beats DCA. Also you can go to dcacryptocalculator and change duration of investment along with amount and can see whether it works for short duration or not.
DCA is best for those who don't have huge amount to invest at a particular time but can invest small amount for longer period of time. If you dont have enough funds then its best to invest in Bitcoin in DCA manner rather not investing your money anywhere anywhere.

I just have a small working on DCA vs LUM SUM Profit.

DCA:
If you invest 100 dollars per week into bitcoin starting from Dec 27, 2019 to Dec 27, 2023. Then your total investment is 20900$ in Bitcoin and ROI after 4 years will be +119% or your total investment goes up to 24870$

LUMP SUM investment and HODL:
If you invest total 20900$ in Bitcoin on Dec 27, 2019 and HODL for 4 years then today your ROI will be +505% or investment goes up to 105690$.


https://dcacryptocalculator.com/

Likewise if you go to https://dcacryptocalculator.com/ and play with figures then you will notice that Lum sum investment also gives good result if you are willing to HODL for longer duration.

There is no doubt that Aamer Jamal has performed brilliantly. He picked up 6 important wickets. Australia would have scored 350+ in the first innings had Aamer Jamal not bowled so brilliantly. Australia's innings stopped at 299 runs. Even then, he could not perform well in the second innings. At the end of the third day Pakistan team collected only 68 runs and they lost 7 wickets. Pakistan team has managed to take a lead of 82 runs. Given a 200+ target, Pakistan had a slim chance of victory. But it is not possible to beat an experienced team like Australia by giving a small target of 100-120 runs. Pakistan will lose badly in this match too.

Don't know what's the issue with Pakistan team. In first innings they scored 313 runs and stopped Aussies from making 300. Now the same team has lost 7 wickets for just 68. Shan Masood and Babar failed to deliver anything today. Rizwan and Aamer are on the crease and they both have scored 88 and 82 in first innings. Now only hopes are with them, if they produce some good partnership only then Pakistan has a chance in this test. 
415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: January 05, 2024, 07:04:24 AM
Bad luck for Pakistan Babar Azam got out at only 23 runs from 52 balls. It was a great catch from Carey and the bowler name is Head. So I think now it will be different for Pakistan to make a good run that will be hard to chase for Australia. So the chances of winning of Pakistan got less now. I do not think that Pakistan team will able to be touch 300run now.

Oh! shit pakistan lose their 6 wicket at only 67 run

It's over for Pakistan, they have got edge in first innings  but they failed miserably in second innings. 7 down and score is just 67 runs. Lot is expected from babar today but he once again fail to deliver. Aamer Jamal and Muhammad Rizwan are on the crease, they both scored 88 and 82 in first innings respectively. Let's see whether they can produce same innings once again or not.
416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: January 05, 2024, 06:37:56 AM
Pakistan got a psychological advantage here, after they seized the first innings lead. If they can get the lead to somewhere around 180-200, then they will have an upper hand in this match. Pakistani batsmen managed to put up a total of 300 plus in the first innings, so we can expect them to manage a good performance in the second innings as well. But then, it is Pakistan and therefore nothing is guaranteed. Babar Azam has so far made 6 runs from 23 balls. I am not expecting anything from him. Others like Mohammad Rizwan need to take the responsibility.

Babar Azam need to score some runs today, he has a disastrous test series. Now with 3 wickets gone down on just 59 runs, Pakistan need someone to take a lead role here. So far babar has scored 22 runs on 50 balls. Target of over 300 is mandatory for Pakistan to have a chance of winning this game and avoiding whitewash. Right now Pakistan is under crisis and wickets are going down at regular intervals.

In the third Test match between Pakistan and Australia, when Australia batted, it was as if we saw a reflection of the Test match between India and South Africa.
For example, in the second Test match between India and South Africa, they were bowled out for 153 after India's 153 for 6 wickets.  Similarly, in the third Test match between Australia and Pakistan, they were bowled out for 293 after Australia's 293 for 7 wickets.

However in this match Pakistan batted well in their first innings but in the second innings they have already lost two wickets for 15 runs.

Pakistan bowlers did a good job to bowl out Aussies at 299 but Aussies have got two early wickets. Abdullah Shafique now got ducks in both innings of this match and second one is captain shan Masood, he is also back to pavilion without troubling the scorer. Now Babar and Saim are batting, big responsibility on both of them. Babar need to score runs to take Pakistan to victory and avoid whitewash.

David Warner was out and maybe it will be the last innings of him. He was out by Salman Agha and he took the ball inside spin and where David Warner backed his back foot and he did front to his foot but when the ball came near so he suddenly moved his front to back and due to this footwork he lost his wicket from Salman Agha, and when he touched a ball it edged and it went at the slip and Babar Azam was present at the slip, and he pick the catch so the end of David Warner.

Sad to see him go this way as he only was able to make 34 runs. He was looking set as he played almost 68 balls for these runs and he could have completed his half century.

Warner has scored runs in this series not because of his skills but because of drop catches by Pakistani players. Today he was dropped on 20 by Saim Ayub in first slip. Poor fielding is a serious concern for Pakistan in this series. They are dropping simple catches that not even a player of associate team drops. Most of today's play is interrupted due to rain. Aussies are two down and Pakistan should try to bowl them out before they level there first innings total of 313 runs.

Melbourne Renegades vs Hobart Hurricanes. Hobart Hurricanes won the match by six wickets against Melbourne Renegades in today's 26th match of the Big Bash League. Not to mention the bowlers of the Hobart Hurricanes team in today's match play. Hobart Hurricanes bowlers bowled very well. Especially Tim David bowled brilliantly, he bowled one over and managed to pick up one wicket without giving any runs. The Hobart Hurricanes bowlers dominated the Melbourne Renegades batsmen from the start of the game. The Hobart Hurricanes bowlers were a tough obstacle in preventing the Melbourne Renegades from scoring big. If the bowlers of the Hobart Hurricanes team could not bowl well, then maybe this match would not have been possible for the Hobart Hurricanes team to win.

Melbourne Renegades were not able to give a big target today although they have good hitters like Quinton de Kock on there side. No trouble for Hobart Hurricanes in chasing this tiny target of 148 runs today, they achieved target in 19th minute.
With this win now Hobart Hurricanes are at 5th spot on points table while Melbourne Renegades with only one win are at 7th spot. Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Thunder have also won just one match each. The tournament is now limited to top 5 teams.

As you said investing million dollar as Lump sum right now will give you around 23 bitcoin and that is still far from person in Hypo-3. In hypo-3, we are investing 60$ into Bitcoin every week for ten years and now the total bitcoins are 27 and there net worth is 1 million USD.
What we can deduce is that even if you dont have million or 100k dollars funds then you can still take better osition provided you are willing to invest small amount in periodic manner (DCA).

And a Happy New Year to everyone on this thread.

Of course, there is no guarantee that DCA will outperform lump sum, but a person who has spent a lot of time investing into bitcoin has historically had pretty good results and the longer he has been investing (even relatively small amounts), it will take a whole hell of a lot of capital to catch up to him, and many of his peers will not be able to catch up to him, so the ONLY ones who are able to catch up to him are the ones who, in the past, were not his peers but maybe way richer than he was, but he has likely caught up to a lot of folks who were way better off than him historically.  We have witnessed these kinds of matters a lot in bitcoin, even though they are not necessarily guaranteed to continue to occur, even though bitcoin's investment thesis seems to be stronger these days than it was 7-10 years ago - especially if we go back before the resolution of the 2017 blocksize wars, and so even though the upside does not seem to be as great, but the investment thesis does seem to be be pretty strong these days.. including that lump summing prior to the launch of the ETFs may well be better than DCA'ing (front running a lot of the folks who are disinclined to directly own BTC - and sure there are a lot of folks who also don't directly own BTC, since they hold their coins on exchanges).. but no one really knows for sure..

What we have seen so far in this discussion about Lump sum and DCA is that Lump Sum is good provided you are good to invest it for longer duration i.e. more then 5 years. DCA is also good specially for those who don't have enough money to spend. We have seen this case in hype-3, where you invest 60$ per week for 10 years from 2013 to 2023 and ROI is 3595%.
I may be one of few guys who is not very much interested in this ETF stuff. I will go with accumlating Bitcoin in DCA manner since to me thats the only sustainable way to move forward.
