461  Economy / Speculation / Re: ELON sold his TSLA stock for $3.5billion. Will he re-buy BTC soon? on: December 26, 2022, 04:15:25 PM
Why would anyone care about him selling his stock and why do you think Elon would invest in bitcoin? There is no connection for this and bitcoin is not the only thing that can turn a profit for him. He became a billionaire before investing in bitcoin, it's not like we expect bitcoin to make us billionaires.

No matter how hard you try, poor people can be difficult to persuade to accept and invest in bitcoin, according to my crypto knowledge and people's enlightenment. They vehemently criticize whatever you show them or introduce them to. They are the ones who constantly inquire about how you manage your funds in order to live during this economic downturn.

Quote
The worst people to serve are the Poor people. Give them free, they think it's a trap. Tell them it's a small investment, they'll say can't earn much. Tell them to come in big, they'll say no money. Tell them try new things, they'll say no experience. Tell them it's traditional business, they'll say hard to do. Tell them it's a new business model, they'll say it's MLM. Tell them to run a shop, they'll say no freedom. Tell them run new business, they'll say no expertise.

They do have some things in common:

listen to friends who are as hopeless as them, they think more than a university professor and do less than a blind man.
How can we persuade the poor that without making investments and taking risks, they would not succeed in life? If they are looking for a financial breakthrough, they need become involved with anything because good things in life don't just fall into their laps. Life is about taking chances and seizing any opportunity that presents itself.
For the poor, they like to make money but don't want to take risks, while cryptocurrencies can be profitable but need to take risks. For me this is a very difficult case, I will not convince anyone, but if there is a chance I will share the opportunity with them, and accept it or not, I want them to decide for themselves. We should not interfere too much with them because we are not them, we do not know the difficulties they are facing.

We can see that Australia has come out to bat now. Australia scored 45 runs in 12 overs. And lost 1 wicket so far. They still have 9 wickets in hand. We are at home. Australia has done a great performance in bowling. Now let's see how Australia is batting.  Can perform. David Warner has scored 32 runs from 51 balls so far if David Warner can score some more runs then it will be good for Australia.

Australia VS South Africa

Australia is currently fighting right now and they have already lost one wicket for 45 runs.
Australia is currency trading by 144 runs. From the looks of it, it feels like this is going to be another low-scoring test match.
It will be interesting to see how Australia performs the next day, especially with David Warner still in the middle.

Ronaldo was 37 years old while messi was 35 years old and so a few years in PSG will be good enough rather than going out. Ronaldo got terminated from MU caused by his problem while messi has no problem with PSG and that might be the different from both of players. I think that you can't compare the situation that happened with messi to the ronaldo. Both have been facing different reality

Ronaldo is going for 38, Messi is going for 36.

We are talking about a possible new adventure for Messi in Barcelona after the end of his contract with PSG which has just been renewed for a further year.

So we're talking about a Messi 2 in Barcelona at the age of 37 who will turn 38 in the season.

I really do not think Messi is going to Barcelona. At this age, it is better for him to stay in PSG and have less competition. In Barcelona, he will have to perform at his best and another thing is his salary is also not going to be good enough, or even close enough like PSG. And I don’t understand why he ought to go to Barcelona right now. He has achieved everything with Barcelona. He has basically given all of his career to Barcelona.

I actually think his career is going to end up, like how the career of Cristiano Ronaldo ended up after returning to Manchester United.
465  Economy / Economics / Re: Avoid running into financial ruin this Christmas! on: December 26, 2022, 12:02:47 AM
Well, I think it is too late for such advice now. Everyone who wanted to spend money on Christmas has already done so, since it is getting close to Christmas around the world. But hey, at least we can all learn from our mistakes and make a plan to have a more financially responsible holiday season next year!

Merry Christmas to you too!
Christmas has come and everything is about to pass, but before us is a new year. I think OP's advice is still valid for New Year's Days. Financial advice is very useful but not so that we are afraid to spend after a year of hard work, the end of the year is when we should take some time to enjoy life with our loved ones.

The new year is coming with diverse expenses and bills to pay. School fees, house rent, car maintenance, subscription bills, etc. My family knows my financial strengths, hence they understood that I can't spend so much this Christmas because this year was very challenging. They know that we don't need to borrow or use our investment funds to celebrate this year's Christmas because we still have more Christmases to celebrate in the future. It is advisable to spend within one's means and don't try to please or compete with people when you don't have the financial means. Merry Christmas to all.
Enjoying life does not mean that we will spend extravagantly, but we should not be too stingy with ourselves. We have worked hard for 365 days non-stop and now it's time for us to rest and recharge to prepare for the next 365 days of hard work. I think that's the meaning of the new year, is for everyone to relax and enjoy.

Inflation has many causes, in which the population is constantly increasing, with 8 billion people, it is not easy to manage and supply enough demand. Inflation is inevitable, but there are ways to control inflation and using interest rates is also coming into play. This world has existed for thousands of years and inflation is still there and people are still evolving.
Inflation isn't carved in stone, it's man-made. For centuries, inflation was more or less natural occuring, which means it went up and down depending on the economy (and harvests, wars). Most importantly: inflation was followed by deflation for the first 700 of the last 800 years. See:


So what changed? Central banks happened! The gold standard was abandoned, and inflation became a target instead of just volatility.

The world is changing day by day and as I said, the population is increasing rapidly, the pressure of supply and demand is great, so inflation or social evils are inevitable. And the government has maintained so far it has been very successful and fiat has also done extraordinary things over the past 800 years. Then why would you disparage it and say it's useless and bitcoin is the best? while the age of bitcoin is only 13 years old.

Are we too delusional to think that just applying bitcoin to the world will solve everything? Bitcoin is just a risky investment, and we don't even know how long it will be with us, let alone whether it can take on the duties of fiat. Bitcoin is an investment, it gives us the opportunity to change our economy, I support that. Please don't exaggerate it.
467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 25, 2022, 08:25:34 AM
As the host for Inter Milan, they should be able to beat Napoli because for me this is a perfectly balanced match, it's just that Napoli will definitely defend as a challenger for the Scudetto title, the dominance of the two will be quite strong if Napoli really lose this match, there is a possibility that other teams can beat it too and clearly with a point difference it will be closer to other teams, even now it is quite far from Inter Milan in points.
Inter are the favorites against Napoli. I don't think Napoli will really be able to beat Inter and maintain that unbeaten record. Napoli will lose to Inter, but the Napoli odds are looking very tempting. Inter will be fighting for their place in the top 4 again, so I think this match is really very exciting to look forward to in early January. Salernitana vs Milan will be the opening match for week 16, we will see if Milan can get 3 points to get close to Napoli, or maybe Napoli is unstoppable.
You are right. Inter Milan has lost just twice in their last 13 matches and will be fighting for their place in the top 4. they have more wins against Napoli In the last 6 h2h, Napoli has only managed to escape with a draw but the rest won by inter Milan. But currently, Napoli has become much more overly curious for the scudetto and they are rated above inter Milan at the league level, because of their winning consistency, and for that, I think the match may likely end in a draw.

It's silly to compare Napoli's performance this season with last season. Napoli's performance has been excellent since the start of this season. This team is consistently performing well. So even if Napoli's previous performance against Enet Milan was not good, I think they can play well this season. But we don't know how the teams will perform after a long break. If Napoli can maintain this stable performance, they will win the title.
468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Qatar world cup Final Predictions on: December 25, 2022, 08:20:44 AM
Portugal defeated Switzerland 6:1. In that match, Ronaldo was not in the starting lineup. He went on the field after 70 minutes. Santos picked the optimal squad for the match. But it didn't work against Morocco. I think Santos simply underestimated the Moroccans. All in all, this is a good coach who made a small mistake.
I never knew that the world cup trophy is such a unique thing and that no one can touch it.
I read on instagram that Salt Bea is banned - because he touched the trophy.
That's is very new thing for me.
Honestly, I still can't believe that Argentina is the world champion. Lionel Messi's dream of thousands of days has come true, he has repeatedly reached the semi-finals, finals but has not been able to win the title he deserves. This time, through the brilliant performance of Lionel Messi, Argentina went ahead and defeated France in the final and was able to win the World Cup title. Through which Lionel Messi's football career is fulfilled.
Why do you think that's a surprise? Argentina was a big favorite for the title of world champion from the beginning.
Before this World Cup, Argentina played with Messi only once in the 2014 final against Germany and lost.
At the 2018 World Cup, they lost in the round of 16, and at the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, they lost in the quarter-finals, so I don't understand what kind of lost semi-finals for Messi you are talking about.
Of course, we are all happy for Messi, that his dream has finally come true  Grin
Argentina's win brought me so much joy. When France almost snatched the cup from Argentina with their equalizing goal in the second half i was wondering if the 23 years old Mbappé will have to win the world cup two times in a roll without any opposition but was delighted when the penalty shoot ended in favour of Argentina and finally Messi won the only cup he hasn't won in his career he can even decide to retire anytime soon.
I was never in support of France and Argentina in this year's world cup, but as fate would have it, the best teams met. And on that day, I knew that Argentina had a better chance to win, yet my favourite of the day was France for personal reasons. It was they (France) that did not have the zeal and determination that Argentina had, and that's what cost them the cup.
Had it been that they've been serious from the beginning, there wouldn't have been a penalty shootout. Conclusively, both teams were fantastic.

I was a supporter of Argentina in this World Cup. I supported this team only because of Messi. Even so, before the start of the World Cup my guess was that Brazil was the favorites to win the title. Because they have a lot of star players in their squad. Unfortunately they could not win the title. They lost against Croatia. Overall Argentina's team was not very strong but they managed to win the title. Coach Scaloni's match strategy is absolutely commendable.

Its confirmed that jofra Archer is returning to England team in recent series with South Africa in January. He was the leading wicket taker in world cup 2019 and the main reason for England victory. He's a strong player for England and was out because of elbow injury.
Looking forward to see s fast bowler on crease as we know now there are less fast bowlers left healthy and playing fir their trams.
Good news for the England and Jofra Archer as he is coming back after very, very long time and hopefully now things could be good for him because he is also injury porn and most of the time we have no positive development from his side which is really sad news for the cricket fans because I believe he is one of the best bowlers for the English team and can give them good replacement option for the two legendary bowlers in coming years even now they also have few options which will be good because their recent success is giving all details about their preparation for the future Mark Wood, Ollie Robinson and Curran brothers are at their best which will help but still they need more than now things are looking hard for the bowlers with all three formats.
Of course it is a very good news  for England team that Jofra  Archer coming back into squad after a long period for the injuries. But I have doubts whether his fitness or his bowling performance back it been after so long time. Because if we look, we will see other fast bowlers who have been injured and come back to the squad after a long time are not in the same form as they used to perform, but still I hope Jofra Archer can overcome these aspects and do some good things for England.
Yes his fitness will matter more now. He came back after serious injury. His injury can teas him in the match. He is good player and a unique pillar for the England team. I also hope he will play good like he was playing before injury.
By the way let see what happen and what he will do.  Smiley

Jofra Archer is a great bowler. He was out of the squad for a long time due to injury. He joined the squad after a long time, now I doubt if he can perform well. Opponent South Africa is not a weak side in ODI format. If Jofra Archer bowls well, it will be easy for England to beat South Africa. Jofra Archer still has 1 month to fix his fitness.

I think they bought too many players and dismantled the team so many times in the last couple of years trying to get a new team and right team for their club. The players still dont know how to play with each other plus coach didnt do so great aswell. They need to keep a team for awhile and see if it can payoff
Barcelona must make player efficiency because Xavi really wants to stabilize Barcelona's economic condition and not spend too much, until now Barcelona's financial condition has not improved and this is a serious threat to Barcelona's future. Xavi will choose a player who has the skills and has a lot to contribute who will stay at Barcelona.
One of Barcelona advantages when they are in unfavorable economic conditions is that they have talented young players. The young players promoted from the La Masia Academy have shown their best talent which has made them successful in making their way into the main squad. Besides that, Barcelona still has good player material, Xavi can play different generations of players to achieve this season's goals.
Barcelona must always keep the club's finances stable, one way to increase the club's income is by winning trophies in the competitions they participate in.
one of Xavi's efforts to make his squad the best is to bring in several players and also release players who are not included in Xavi's plans.
may be too hasty, but Barca will not be able to manage their finances properly if they only make purchases without reducing spending on players.
an extraordinary challenge for Xavi to make Barca a champion this season. with all the efforts and limitations, Barça's game developed very well. everyone could see Xavi's abilities.

Barcelona management has spent a lot of money since Xavi took charge of the Barcelona team. The party is somewhat stable but still cannot be called strong. Real Madrid still have more chances to win the title. Xavi must stabilize his team. And for that he should pick the required players for the squad. Barcelona defense is weak now. Xavi should spend money to strengthen his defense. I don't see Barcelona winning the title if the defense is not strong.

Argentina goalkeeper Martinez has fallen into a frenzy around the world for making fun of Mbappe. When Argentina won the World Cup, the Argentine players made fun of Kylian Mbappe. A minute's silence was observed in the dressing room in honor of him. Amilion Martinez mocked French star Mbappe's doll during the trophy parade. Martinez did not do this at all. And yes we all want this disgrace to be resolved soon.

As a professional athlete, Martinez should not disrespect Mbappe at all. There is no doubt that Mbappe is a fantastic player. And his performance in this World Cup was excellent. Mbappe's consistently good performances saw France qualify for the final. Such a player should not be mocked. Martinez should admit his mistake and apologize to Mbappe.

Galatasaray have a big opportunity in hand as of now. Fenerbahce's loss by 2-0 against Trabzonspor created the opportunity. That red card changed the plans and Fenerbahce really had big issues in defense. Of course it isn't easy to stay strong in this situation against one of the tough opponents in the league.

But I would have still expected a better performance from Fenerbahce players. Having even no shot on target is just terrible statistics. It looks like they are still not fully ready for this part of the season mentally.

Fenerbahce had a very good chance to win the title. But they might miss the opportunity. They have lost their last two matches. However, they are still at the top of the table. But it looks like they will lose the top spot in the table in the next few days. Fenerbahce's players need to perform more carefully if they want to win the title.

Galatasaray has a very good chance to go top of the table. If they win the next match, they will go 1 point ahead of Fenerbahçe and go to the top of the table. But we are not sure if Galatasaray will win their next match against Istanbulspor.

Manchester United vs Fc Barcelona match has been discussed much more than every other Europa league match. Maybe that is because the two clubs are anticipated by many, to be the champions of the Europa league title. But let me put it to u that neither Manchester United nor FC Barcelona may end up pushing through the final stage of this competition. Let us not forget that the likes of Juventus, Arsenal, Ajax, union Berlin and PSV are salso hunting vigorously for this same title. Most of these clubs with little or no up of being champions in their lower league.The table is not revolving around Man united and Barcelona only.
Well it is expected that this is the most talked match in this tournament. Both teams high expectations and just letted everyone down. But maybe this is for the better because now europa league is much more intresting and with so many elite clubs now here i think it will be the hardest yet to win
I know Barcelona are in a very good form,and they are capable of winning the Europa league,but I can't underate the likes of Arsenal,and Ajax which are also in this competition.They can shock people and they are also capable of lifting the Europa trophy as well.I don't really see Manchester United as a threat to this tittle because they haven't really done well in the EPL this season.The only club I think they can tend to be a threat to Arsenal in this competition is Barca,because they have a strong squad that is capable of defeating any opponent that comes their way.But nevertheless,I still see Arsenal as a team that can lift this trophy.

Barcelona are in very good form. But they will play against Manchester United in the first match of the Europa League. There is no way to think of United as a weak team. Ten Hag managed to stabilize the team considerably. And we are not sure if the Barcelona team can win against United now. If Barcelona can dominate and win against Manchester United then I believe they will be able to qualify for the Europa League final.

"Cash is king" doesn't mean it keeps it's purchasing power. In the long run, you're better off with something that doesn't have inflation.
Inflation has many causes, in which the population is constantly increasing, with 8 billion people, it is not easy to manage and supply enough demand. Inflation is inevitable, but there are ways to control inflation and using interest rates is also coming into play. This world has existed for thousands of years and inflation is still there and people are still evolving. Don't think that bitcoin is the god that can solve all the problems in the world. Any government can create something with a fixed supply, but will its adoption really make inflation go away forever? Or It's just your imagination. I'm a bitcoin investor, but I'm not as crazy about bitcoin as you are, don't get too delusional with bitcoin when you're still using fiat  on a daily basis.

Nigeria has come to consider the banned  which was put to crypto currency in the country in 2020. Ibrahim Babaginda the chairperson of legislative body committee on capital market and institute said that Central Bank of Nigeria does not have the right to control crypto industries and the Apex bank don't have the authority to regulate cryptocurrency because many digital investors don't even use local account since it is not a financial market but a capital market. the House of Rep be asked to approve a bill to that seeks to amend the investment and security in Act 2007 in other to designated cryptocurrency as a capital investment. Ibrahim Babaginda said the banned on cryptocurrency will not only be lifted but will be legalize.

Nigeria Government most times take actions without considering the benefit it gives the society. They mostly do things at their own advantage. I keep wondering why crypto currency was banned in the first place.

They need to do thorough research before making a decision, if they don't research and accept cryptocurrencies from the beginning and cryptocurrencies don't work and destabilize the country then the people also blame the government .I find the government in no rush to accept cryptocurrencies is very right. We are too selfish to think that cryptocurrencies are in our favor and why they ban them.

Bayern Munich are desperately in need of a goal keeper to replace Neuer who is aged and also injured. Neuer is getting close to finishing his contract at Bayern with no further plans of renewing so Bayern are desperately in need of a suitable replacement, someone that can fit in the boots of the departing Neuer. I can't say if Aston Villa will be willing to let Emiliano Martinez leave especially not in the middle of the season, probably a big money offer could do the trick.
A good goal keep is very important for club like bayern Munich. Bayern Munich goal Manuel neuer is a great goal keeper and he contributed to the success of Bayern Munich all this time. Emiliano Martinez is a wonderful goalkeeper,  he performed very well during the concluded world cup.  If Bayern Munich offers to gives him  good amount of money I think it will be easy to get him from Aston Villa.  Martinez Emiliano will be fit to be in Bayern Munich squad.
Aston Villa is ready to lose Martinez in the transfer market later. it's a code that anyone who wants to continue negotiations will be very open to the goalkeeper who just won the world cup with Argentina.
if Munich is serious about bringing him in, of course, that is an advantage for Munich who has to get a replacement for their injured main goalkeeper.

There is no doubt that Martinez is one of the best goalkeepers in the world now. Martinez's great performance has qualified for the finals because of the great performance of Argentina and there is no way to deny that the Champions have become. Since Munich's main goalkeeper injury and this season, there is no chance of playing with his squad. So maybe they can take Martinez in the squad. And it will be a deal of one of the best for them.

What will happen during the winter season? I have seen contrasting claims. Some claim that the fighting will die down and resume when the winter season ends. Some others claim that both Russia and Ukraine have mobilized large number of reserves and therefore the fighting may intensify in the coming months. Muddy weather hampered the operation of tanks and armored vehicles in the past and this issue won't be there once the ground gets frozen. What I don't know is which of the sides will get the advantage of winter climate.
In my opinion based on what I've seen, unfortunately this war seems to be getting more intense instead of slowing down because of cold, etc. United States has already given permission to hit targets in Russian soil and Russia has increased its attack on Ukrainian infrastructure to the point that more than half of the country has no electricity. I even heard rumors (that could be wrong) the capital could be emptied during winter due to no electricity and heat.
Certainly, the fight will be more fierce when the president of Ukraine makes an official visit to the US, it's like they are begging for more aid and Russia is showing discomfort because of this. I believe there will be a major air strike when Mr. Volodymyr Zelensky returns home. Ukraine was wrong and things are getting worse to believe that the US can save them.

Now you have $100,000 in your account, pure savings, and you don't need this amount of money to cover your daily expenses. Obviously it's good/free money to use at will. Let's say if you deposit the money into a bank and the annual interst rate is 3%, you will get a steady interest income year by year. If you use this money to buy Bitcoin, let's say the BTC drops to $17,000, you'll buy less than 6 Bitcoins. In the long run, what would you do with this money ? And why ?
50% in banks and 50% in bitcoin, although bitcoin offers good returns, the future of bitcoin no one dares to guarantee success. So always leave yourself a backup plan. If bitcoin fails we still have 50% capital to start over, don't invest all in bitcoin, too risky.
