401  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: December 14, 2023, 07:24:19 AM


Well... I agree that the number of test matches should be reduced. Apart from a few series such as the Ashes, Border-Gavaskar and Trans-Tasman, very few cricket fans nowadays watch the test matches. And even then, teams spend anywhere from 50 to 80 days every year playing test cricket (more than that in any other format). The way to move forward is to reduce the number of test matches, and to increase the number of T20 matches. But there is a lot of resistance from the ICC and BCCI. The sooner they realize it, that better.
You have a weird obsession with Trans-Tasmen series  Tongue. It's considered one of the dead bilateral series in Australia, it's similar to Ind vs SL where only one team wins and statspad all the time.

I noticed many posters are here saying that Test cricket is dying, this statement is half true. Numbers suggest that in BIG-3, it's doing more than enough, you have to look at how CA and ECB are fetching big amounts for their test series against India. In the current cycle Media rights deal broke the previous records.

Test cricket is dying argument only works when someone is playing 3 or 2 matches series.
Here I agree, now test cricket is dying for the all other than BIG-3 which are having strong system and better environment for this as well all others are down with few are already out, and we have no positive chance for them to fightback into this format just because of this I am consistently saying ICC needs to rethink about this format and for improve of quality and performance they need to have few restrictions if these works in next few others then ok otherwise just having T20i format now could be beneficial for all members, and they can take good profit from this as well which will help them just like soccer leagues are doing in all countries.

India is the best country for the red-ball format with England and Australia are also having profit, but this all is just going between these three and if India is touring in countries like South Africa, New Zealand and West Indies then they are also having profit otherwise these all are having nothing to do with this format.

What does the Federal Reserve have to do with this? The greed of people, the desire to show yourself "higher" than you are, to "be above the crowd", to consider yourself "elite" - this is a small list of those HUMAN traits that created this market and generated these goods ! In ancient times people dressed themselves in gold, sat on a golden throne, harnessed their horses with golden harness, and decorated their houses with precious stones - not because it is beautiful, but because the only option to exalt themselves above others and show "I am rich - and you are all poor". That's human nature. It's unpleasant to realize, but it's a fact, and we have only ourselves to blame....
Exactly, and that desire of every person with money to show others that they are superior is the reason why these trends and styles and everything change very often because every other person who is wealthy demands to best thing, and they want everything to be new and only just for them, they make such demands and companies and brands go ahead and create new designs, old ones become old-fashioned and outdated and this is how things keep piling up while new things keep coming in the markets.

So, it's not just about needs every time, needs are for people who don't have anything, but for people that have everything, more than they need, they only have desires and wants and no needs. They want new trends and new things, no matter how expensive, they should just be unique and only for them.

You don't need to look for the next BTC, there are so many new coins in the space that will do 5000X, all you need to do is to find them early and take part of these profits. The best way to find good projects is look at the trends, like recently AI projects are doing well and spread your bet in like 4 to 5 of them, once you keep doing this you will get the return you are looking for
You make it sound like it's a piece of cake and anyone with even minimal knowledge about the market and cryptocurrencies can earn profit from this market but it's not the truth and reality is always different. If it was that easy to identify projects that would gain multiple folds of their current price then I believe there would have been one millionaire out of 10 traders right now, but since that isn't how things are done, traders usually just stay happy with whatever profit they manage to get.

People like you are the reason why newbie investors think that this market is very easy and one can easily earn a lot of money from it because you motivate them to make investments, that too in new projects that might not gain any value and die off before they manage to take off in the first place.
404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: December 13, 2023, 03:41:50 PM
Tomorrow Antwerp vs Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League match between these two teams, the Barcelona team might play well. But I don't understand how the Antwerp team will play. It seems that it will be a tough fight between the two teams and if the Antwerp team can't play well in this game, then the Barcelona team will be very easy.  will win. Barcelona team is much stronger than Antwerp team, so it is expected that Barcelona will play well and win this match. I saw that Barcelona team played very well in the previous matches, I don't know what they will do in this match.
Now, we have less than 5 hours left in this match with Antwerp is already eliminated through no win in their last 5 games and the worst in this group all other three already qualify for their next rounds with Porto vs Shakhtar Donetsk will decide who will be in Champions League and who could be in Europa Cup for me in today match if we have second side of the Barcelona then still they will be able to win this match and stay at the top of the group in first leg match Barcelona beats them by 5–0, and now I am expecting we will have 3-0 or 2–0 because Antwerp is surely the weakest side.

As we have few other teams giving their best until last game so most chances we will have best from the Barcelona as well without any problem in this game and going into next round with high note.

They say invest what you can afford to lose. If 100 euros/week is the money you can afford to lose per week then go ahead. I promise you that you will not have to wait until 2040 to get back your return on investment..2024 is the year and it is just in the next couple of days. In all of these, kindly learn to keep your Bitcoin safe so that you do not lose them because of a silly thing that was avoidable
I think that shouldn't be the right phrase to be used in this situation because despite the risks involved, Bitcoin investment is not directly comparable with gambling and that phrase is used for gambling since one can easily lose what they use for gambling while that's not the case with Bitcoin. It's better if we say that one should only invest what they know they won't need anytime soon because the market is highly volatile and it might dip after they buy and then they might have to wait for years before they can withdraw their money unless they sell at a loss.

Coming back to the topic, @OP, there is no specific amount that one can or should use for doing DCA, it depends on one's target and financial situation. If you can afford to use 100 Euros per week for it, that's great. Just make sure that you should stretch things out just to make adjustments for this.
406  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is the only currency that has grown the most!! on: December 11, 2023, 06:12:22 PM
if bitcoin goes up, altcoins should also go up, and that happens altcoins also go up, but not all altcoins go up, only a few, ideally this is not a bull run market, actually only a few coins go up, I think there are several parties who deliberately make this go up .
People start investing in altcoins as well when they see Bitcoin going up because since the inception of the cryptocurrencies, it's been the norm that when Bitcoin goes up in price, altcoins tend to follow its movements and the biggest reason for that is the increase in demand for altcoins as well. One might notice that some altcoins don't go up much even if Bitcoin and some altcoins are going up in full force, the reason behind that is that those coins are not traded much and they barely get any volume.

So, while there can be some cryptocurrencies that might not go up when the market is going up, most altcoins will go up when Bitcoin does so and it's because people show interest in those altcoins as well along with Bitcoin which makes them gain value and those that lack investments stay behind in the race.
407  Economy / Economics / Re: COVID is dead, "long live the new COVID". World economy get ready? on: December 10, 2023, 07:29:16 PM
1. The world economy and population has not yet everywhere moved away from the covid and events of 2022, and ... a new global pandemic awaits us ?  Your opinion - what and how to prepare for ?
2. Can anyone from China confirm or deny this news ?
After the rapid disappearance of covid-19 pandemic and the economic and social problems witnessed by the quarantine, I find it difficult for countries to take the same measures of lockdown and working from home, especially since I know some friends who believe in the conspiracy theory and that they did not receive vaccines and yet were not infected with the pandemic. It will be convincing these people will be more difficult.


News coming from China needs to be reviewed by independent sources because some media outlets either try to downplay its importance or there is a false exaggeration of the statement that China is a failed state.
I think no, it didn't disappeared rapidly. The fatality rate, and the huge number or affected people are a proof to it. If there is quick here, that will only be the movement of the virus from country to country or from person to person. Despite of the safey measures that are being done later on, the virus is still too strong to penetrate and continues to scare everyone. But, we are glad that it was over.

The only problem though is here, (the new virus) and this slowly builds a fear to all of us again. But we shouldn't worry because we already have a good experience before. We already fought a good fight with one of the strongest and deadliest viruses. So are we going to give up now? I guess not.
408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 10, 2023, 06:28:24 PM
The thing is, for Juventus, especially the kind of problems that they face. Face often, it is hard for them to stay consistent throughout the whole season. Because sometimes even if they are consistent, a problem which they never thought of arrives and they have to deal with it.

Of course, I hope that they do not face themselves in any kind of problems like that. But that has been the story for them in recent seasons. Right now Juventus is in a good position. And hopefully, they will be able to continue performing well. But it is definitely going to be hard towards the next part of the season.
We have Juventus and problems having strong connection, or we can say Juventus is having nature of having problems beside them for decades which bring them down every time easily, and they have to face things from nowhere in current season we have some improvement from them which is helping them for having better results, and they are doing good job until now even now most chances they will be stayed at this spot for long time because Inter Milan is impressive and having enough difference for not allowing their opponents to touch them, but things can take changes, and we can expect some good performances in coming weeks specially after transfer window which will bring some exciting changes in few teams.
409  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: is right time for investment ? on: December 10, 2023, 05:24:02 PM
To be honest, I'm not sure there is any money worth losing most especially when we talk about crypto currency investment, because the higher you buy the more the profit or loss and most times, I see people creating post like using $500 to invest in altcoin. I believe before you invest in any coin you should have read the white paper and do some search about the coin to find any trace of scam, or if it's a scam project, Or else you are just a gambler who is using crypto to cover up. I have seen lots of investors who follow after trend without taking caution, though most times they tend to come successfully. So if you are sure of the crypto you want to invest in, go ahead, after all you are the one responsible for your risks and profits.
There is nothing wrong with investing in coins or tokens that are trending at the moment but only if you can enter at the right time and if you know that you are investing only a small percentage of your capital so that even if the cryptocurrency fails and doesn't gain substantial value, you won't regret your decision and don't feel very bad for losing the money because it wasn't that much, but if the project manages to gain success over time, you can get good returns on your investments.

So, even though it's not wise to invest an amount as large as $500 or above, it's good to take calculated risks sometimes because such risks can bring you great benefits if you are lucky, and if you are not lucky, you will only lose a very small amount that you can recover from other trades here and there.

It's the end of the year again,where the pressure of wanting to "flex" or look fulfilled for the year,while in reality the year might have not gone so well.
So many people look for get rich schemes with ridiculous percentage gain,this scammers know there's an increase desperation by people this period.
So they ride on your greed to make it quick and rip you off your hard earned funds.
It's imperative you take your time, know what you're getting into before venturing into it, remember all that glitters isn't gold. If it's too good too be true,my friend I can tell you for free, it's most likely to be too good to be true.
Those scammers will still find their victims from somewhere out there no matter how many posts we make and how much we try to safeguard newbie investors from all these things, the reality cannot be changed and the reality is that most of the new investors in the cryptocurrency industry come with the mindset that they can earn a lot of money in a very short period and it's not their fault for thinking this way because they have been guided this way, or I should say that they haven't been guided well.

So, such posts might help a few who stumble upon them, but most of such scams and scammers will still find people that they can get some money because there will be some people who would believe their words and think that it is possible to get 2 ETH back in a week after investing 0.5 ETH.
411  Economy / Economics / Re: World changing and those who don't adopt this Will stay poor on: December 09, 2023, 08:21:40 PM
There cannot any exception from the ever evolving world, adopt or lose. Imagine a generation where they didn't even had TV when they were born, and now there are AI's that could make fake people on screen move the way you want. That's right, you can generate people however you want and make them move however you want with AI without working for it, create any image you want, write code, just get answers and suggestions, and these people (at least in my nation) didn't had TV when they were kids.

This type of growth is not simple, and I believe that even though we are capable of catching up with the times at this current age, if god permits and I live another 30+ years, then I will not be able to actually understand whatever new thing may be.
To be honest, as generations will pass, the babies that are born in the new era will have mindsets based on what already exists and they will barely have to struggle to understand things that exist right now, and since they tend to be quite advanced, they will also not have a lot of problems understanding things that might come after them. I mean, we were childish when we were about 16 to 17 years old and most kids these days would become completely mature by the time they become 15. Don't even talk about how good they are with technology because they were born during this era.

However, you can't deny the fact that there will always be some people who lack basic adaptive abilities, which means that they won't be able to evolve with time or accept or understand everything as quickly as others do, such people existed way back, exist right now, and will exist in the future generations as well.
412  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coin is more profitable? on: December 09, 2023, 07:23:29 PM
Just one bitcoin
Bitcoin is the most profitable crypto to all investors. Bitcoin is the first digital asset to hit the crypto market. In fact it was more profitable for its early investors.
Talking about the most profitable question, the answer is actually relative. Bitcoin for me is safer and more reliable. But in terms of benefits, I get more benefits from Altcoins. Maybe in the long term it is true that Bitcoin is the most profitable. But short term altcoins are more profitable. Even though the risk is indeed greater. But it's all worth it for its potential

But this month Bitcoin's rise has dominated and brought more profits than Altcoins. Because altcoins still look sideways and have not shown big increases.
Most altcoins will only go up with all their potential once Bitcoin enters the bull run and starts going up without any stops of any expectations of having a correction which is the case right now. Since we haven't gone past the halving event yet, we all know that the current growth will most probably be followed by a correction, it can be healthy or moderate but it is meant to come any time, so altcoins are not gaining a lot of momentum at the moment because people are still holding their hands back.

Once the halving event is here, we go past it, and Bitcoin gets corrected and starts moving up again, that's when the altcoins will start going up along with it, if it goes up 10% altcoins will go more or at least 10% with it, that is when altcoin investors will earn a lot of profit because altcoins generally gain more value in a shorter period.

Welcome to the forum.

I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your father and what your family has gone through, however, I agree with some other users here. Though you and your family are in a tough situation, investing in Bitcoin cannot be your priority and if you have done enough research, you should know that the money you invest in cryptocurrencies should be the money that you won't need any time soon, and knowing your situation, I believe you shouldn't just invest everything that you save for yourself from your salary in Bitcoin because it's life, and anything can happen at any given time, I'm not saying that something bad might happen, but one should always be ready for emergencies.

If you invest your money in Bitcoin for the long-term, have no savings or money at all, and if Bitcoin's price goes down after your investment and you need money for an emergency, you won't be able to cash them out because if you do, you will be at a loss which isn't you can afford to experience.

So, I would suggest you to think again, talk to your elders or those who are sensible and understanding, and ask them for suggestions about what you should do to first become more financially stable, and once you do that and you see that you can now spare some money that you can invest and forget about, that's when you should think about investing in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies.
414  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People losing their Bitcoin is not a risk to Bitcoin: on: December 09, 2023, 06:25:46 AM
So I read a thread by a new member who was asking if the information that is being shared here is just theoretical to gaining relevance in the platform or is something that is actually being practiced in real life situation and the first thing that came to my mind is the numerous post about securing ones Bitcoin holding and the fact that some persons might be taking it for granted.

The truth is that people actually loose access to their private keys and will loose their bitcoin In the process and a lost bitcoin isn't even a disadvantage to the network but actually increase the value of bitcoin in circulation and so if you take all the security measures being shared in the platform for granted, you're putting yourself at a serious disadvantage because if you loose your bitcoin due to your carelessness, it's your loss and not that of bitcoin and I doubt their is a means you can use in recovering a lost Bitcoin without your private keys.
Observing these kinds of threads, I can't help but wonder how some people managed to misplace their private key. We all know that bitcoin is not an investment that should be joked with, as doing so will result in the loss of everything you have worked so hard to accumulate. Therefore, my question is: Why did those who lost their private key purchase bitcoin? The most important thing to keep safe when owning cryptocurrency is your private key; sharing it with others puts you at risk of losing everything you have invested because having your private key is equivalent to having access to your wallet. Therefore, before engaging in cryptocurrency, make sure you are capable of taking all the necessary precautions to ensure that you are not a careless person.
You talk about people making sure that they are capable of taking care of their important data, you won't believe that people these days barely care about such things and all they care about is earning money, and it's so naïve of them to not take the necessary steps to secure their wallets and assets that store their money. You will see people spending thousands of dollars on cryptocurrencies and keeping them in an online wallet while having a common 8-letter password.

You will hit your head on the wall if you see how careless some people are with their assets when it comes to cryptocurrencies. They buy cryptocurrencies first and start researching and learning after that, meanwhile, their assets are either kept in the exchange they've bought them in or in a wallet without much security precautions.

Well bounty was nice before but happens to be down now.  ThankGod you saw an article that makes you realize bounty has not been profitable if not you would have still be wasting your precious time. If you ask me where to begin or start I will advice you start investing in Bitcoin but I don't think it is necessary to ask people where to start, I mean you know your pocket right, you know what you can afford. Though sometimes it is good to ask but when you ask don't take all advice that will be given to you, try to edit and come up with a better idea.
I heard that people used to earn more than $1k a month just from bounty campaigns, but it was in the past when altcoins were on the rise, ICOs were running all around and people investing in every ICO in the hope of earning profit when they get listed, and this used to make a lot of projects reach exchanges and also get substantial value which in return would give bounty hunters great results since the tokens they've got from bounty would sell at a good price.

However, that era ended very quickly, and I'm sure that people spending time on bounty campaigns these days are just wasting their time and efforts because after all the work that they will do promoting those projects, they will get pennies at the end, and there will barely be a project that will compensate its participants for the efforts they put in.
416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: December 07, 2023, 08:29:53 PM
Until now this season of the tournament is very divided by half, the top half of the tabble is for teams who spend a lot of money and have big stars coming from europe, and the bottom half, is for teams who doesnt expend so much money and are full of arabs players, and they seem only to be in the league to make number.
Saudi League having 18 teams and from them, we have just four by one group which is having back of big companies so surely they are doing their best for staying at the top and things are happening for them on right way all four teams are impressive and giving good competition to each other with few teams which are not having luxury like them still doing their best for competing with them like Al Taawon and Damac today we have good match from Damac whcih bring down Al ittihad and now having 24 points from their 16 games, and they have only one defeat in their last 10 games which is also impressive as we will have this league in media we will have improvement and more investment for better results from the management.

I didn't aspect that Manchester United would defeat Chelsea, To be honest they did a fantastic job in yesterday's match. This demonstrates how Manchester United's play has improved. Manchester United deserves to win because of the effort they put into pressing Chelsea yesterday. Chelsea try to play better in the second half; otherwise, they struggle throughout the first half of the encounter. Manchester United has extend  Chelsea rent to 10th position.
I wasnt expecting Manchester United to beat Chelsea so well either. They're clicking this season, especially in this game. United's pressure on Chelsea was incredible. They clearly worked hard on strategy and execution. Chelsea tried to improve in the second half, but Man United's first-half dominance set the tone. United's ascent and Chelsea's drop to 10th show their development. Like last season, they found their groove midway through. Watching them do it again is thrilling. Their performance exceeded my expectations, and they're a league power this year.
I agree, most of the peoples were expecting Chelsea is doing much better, and they will be able to handle them but last night we have much better Manchester United which done good job throughout match and not allowed Chelsea for having better things with now most chances ten hag and his team can enjoy and stay at better spot now their next meeting is against Bournemouth at home which also allow them to have full three points.

Chelsea are also doing good, but sadly they were not able to have things which were needed in this game for having full three points but still they are also on good improvement and can enjoy better results in coming matches in first half Chelsea were impressive, but they lost their confidence in second half and have to suffer in this crucial match.

Actually, when I used to trade earlier, at that time I used to pay a person, that is, I hired a broker, so he would charge me a fee and in return he would teach me trading, and besides, he would cooperate with me. I used to do it, that is, whenever I used to trade, he used to tell me that you should do this, that is, you should put a stop loss here, you should buy here, you should sell what you have here, all the methods he told me. But later because his fees were too high, I left him and started trading on my own, which led to a very loss able for me
People need to understand that trading isn't rocket science, and it's easily learnable if you dedicate some time to it and open your mind regarding it. There are thousands of free resources available for someone willing to learn trading and master all trading techniques and practices. So, instead of paying someone to guide you, you should learn everything first and then do your trading yourself. You could save a lot of money if you had done this instead of hiring someone, the amount you paid to him could have been used for trading initially, and even if it was lost, you would have gained a lot of experience.

Traders can stay profitable if they have enough knowledge and experience about the market and every single cryptocurrency they trade in because when you know everything, you will be able to determine the windows in which you will need to make your trades, even if some of your trades don't go right, you will still be able to make more successful trades than the failed ones.
419  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will you do if your country did not legalize cryptocurrency? on: December 06, 2023, 09:14:22 AM
Fortunately my country legalized Bitcoin tho is not a legal tender, now if my country never legalize Bitcoin I would still find a way to use it, since I need a currency for international cash transfer, I would find some way around to use Bitcoin, but I would not invest in it, I will immediately exchange it to local fiat in here. 
You wouldn't be able to easily use or convert your Bitcoins to local fiat if the government decides to illegalize the cryptocurrency within the country and creates strict laws against those who are involved and are using the cryptocurrency within the country because you can't hide it if you are going to use your financial accounts to receive the cash that you are getting for selling your Bitcoins and authorities can easily trace where your payment is coming from and what it is for.

So, one can get in trouble if they use something that is banned or illegal within their country, especially if the government is strictly against its usage. Therefore, you might think that it won't be that difficult but it's not that easy as well and you can get in trouble any time if you do that and if authorities come to know about it.
420  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How do you feel about market recovery on: December 05, 2023, 05:55:05 PM
I think everyone will be enthusiastic and very happy with the recovery of the crypto market, because everyone wants to make a profit from the investments they make, especially now that the market has been in a bearish condition for a very long time, of course all crypto users will be happy to face this situation.
This is indeed a very attractive bonus at the end of the year. Since this year the market was in an unstable state, and indeed at the end of the year there were forecasts for recovery, which is what happened. Of course, I would like more, but this result will satisfy many at the expected stage.
Fairly, I wasn't even expecting this much recovery this year and was thinking that the price would probably stay within $35k until the end of the year and the recovery would start after the new year starts, but we are almost around $40k right now, and there is still a lot of time left for the year to end, more than 25 days, and we might see more of it in these coming weeks if the market doesn't take a U-turn back towards the $35k-33k range as there can be a correction before it rallies towards $50k.

So, the recovery we've seen so far this year surely looks like a bonus as we should be expecting some recovery before the halving and the rest after it, and the halving event is to occur in April next year. That being said, it'll be interesting to see how the market reacts in the first three months of the new year, before the halving.
