If Brazil plays with the Croatia the same way Brazil played with the Koreans, then probably Croatia will have little chance, because even if the entire Croatian team sits on defense, it is unlikely to help, Brazil will still find a way to score.
Apparently, the Croats will have to try to play second-string first and look for chances in counter-attacks.

The Netherlands have a better chance against Argentina. A lot will depend on Messi, if he can score a couple of goals alone, then most likely Argentina will pass, if not, then the chances are equal.

There is no doubt that Brazil will qualify for the semifinals if Croatia plays like they played with Koreans then also Brazil will defeat them but it will be a little tough match for them.

The match between Argentina and Netherland is very unpredictable any team can win the match. If Messi is in action mode on the match day then their is a chance for Argentina to qualify for the semifinal.

I know a lot of people see Argentina as the favourite, in the Argentina-Netherlands game.  The Netherlands has a very good defensive line.  You definitely need to think about this.  Argentina could be knocked out by the Netherlands.  The Netherlands is a very strong team.  It will be a game where both teams will be aware that they have to win this match to claim the championship.
Argentina vs Netherlands match is likely to be won by Argentina team after a lot of trouble. Now let's see how Netherlands team can play. It seems that Netherlands will win the game. For that we have to enjoy the advantage in the match.
My speculation is different from yours as my bet is that Brazil would beat Croatia and Netherlands would beat Argentina. I don't know why Argentina is often rated so big than necessary in this tournament, perhaps it's because of Messi. Nevertheless, it is getting tougher now as they are being matched with better teams than what they had played with. Not minding Brazil and Croatia, I don't know how Argentina would beat the Netherlands, maybe in the penalty shootout.

Bruno Fernandes has developed rapidly while defending Portugal at the 2022 world cup, for the good performance shown with his country made several top clubs interested in using his services. Real Madrid has been one of the clubs most linked with Bruno Fernandes, Real Madrid interest in Bruno Fernandes to have him as a replacement for the aging Modric.
However, Bruno Fernandes is not interested in accepting a proposal from Real Madrid because he is still happy with Manchester United and wants to help Manchester compete again for the EPL title.
It's true that Bruno Fernandes has performed well in this year's world cup and has done a lot to market himself, but one thing I will always tell people is that the psychology of players with a certain team and for a certain reason is different. He is a great player even before now, but his performance in the Man U has not been as obvious as seen in the world cup.

The rivalry between Arsenal and Manchester United will be great. If they meet after the World Cup, it is likely that both teams will perform as they did before the World Cup. I think players from both teams have gained experience from playing in the World Cup which we will see reflected for their clubs after the World Cup.
I don't believe that all these core star players are gaining any experience other than showing more effort into the world cup games than they naturally do with the club side. It's personal willingness, determination and change of mindset. So, it's left to them to replicate the brilliant display after the tournament.
4743  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will be running in your mind if Bitcoin reaches $1000 again on: December 08, 2022, 07:50:44 AM
I’ve been hearing a lot of the same type of opinions for a long time that the crypto will be in a relative drawdown until the next halving, up to 24 year. Given all the current circumstances and the prerequisites for possible futures, this version seems very real
Personally, I don't buy the idea of those theorists, Bitcoin is still young in the field of financial investment, and we need more years, if not decades to fully ascertain its true nature. For now, be a good speculator based on the economic and technical reality of the market and shun what I call a "myth."

My first thought will be: Oh great, now I can have a second chance to invest a decent amount of money for my future. I am glad. I should have taken the chance the first time but this is ok too.

My second thought would be: Because of the amazing crash down to 1k, Bitcoin will need years to recover to 20k again. Which is a bit disappointing for those who like seeing big numbers, but I am hodling for years anyway. And the profit in percentage from Bitcoin going from 1k to 20k will be greater than waiting for Bitcoin to go from 20k to 200k, (which I suspect will also take a few years at least).
It's nice you have two thoughts about this, but the second thought might not delay that much. Bitcoin could rise very fast after much falling, I won't doubt that. It only needs a reason to do it, and when the opportunity comes, it would be a strong bullish run as it played in the past.

If Bitcoin reaches $1000 I will buy as much as I can, it will be a good opportunity for me to profit. As time bitcoin becomes more popular and more people will accept it, one day the price will rise again and have a better value in the future.

This is another statement that's easier said than done.
Let's be realistic here, as I've seen a few replies that they want to fill their bags and buy Bitcoin as much as they can when the price dips down as low as $1k. But, I don't think people's sentiments might still be the same when that actually happens. We've seen one of the worst dip in 2018, where Bitcoin touched $3k after the unprecedented $19k ATH, some even recorded $20k. People were actually panicking and jumping off the train immediately, thinking Bitcoin would crash so hard and will never recover.
You are one of the few people that are realistic here. Many would want to be rich due to the low price of BTC, but they neglect the possibility of it falling, the cause of the dumping. Honestly, fear and panic would be in the market then, it's easier said than done.


fact: Bitcoin will never touch $1000 again (never even to $10k).

It is definitely impossible for the possibility of dropping to 1k even if something worse happens, but with 10k we cannot say that this will never happen. In just 3 days, the FTX crash caused bitcoin to go from $21,000 to $15.7k and FTX's drama will not stop, once FTX goes bankrupt, there will be many consequences later. Don't think it's over, I predict that the market will crash again and the bottom could be 10k-12k.
You made me laugh about your comment on the impossibility of Bitcoin falling to $1,000. Please, visit the dictionary to ascertain this, and then you will know that it is possible for any asset to astonishingly rise or unbelievably fall. However, we hope it doesn't happen, but if it does, it's an opportunity for an ardent fan like me.
4744  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why I Disliked Bitcoin on: December 08, 2022, 07:26:02 AM
If you are someone who doesnt have much idea on what Bitcoin or crypto is then you would really be likely on having these sentiments which you would be pertaining mostly into its cons without even trying to look back on what fiat had done or been used when it comes to these illegal activities which its been used as a tool to launder money or any other means correlated to that which same
goes on Bitcoin too.
True! Fiat still aids illegalities, but it is much lower than what Bitcoin aids. A careful person like me can't just dabble into adopting such a coin without thinking about it over and over, especially when I have alternatives that are earning me income.

many people underestimate and end up regretting like you,
because they only see the weaknesses, do not see the strengths.

many people regret it.

but it's never too late to invest in bitcoin, it's people who don't invest who are slow to realize the advantages of bitcoin.
Frankly, the reason for my reservation is right, and I was only sceptical to adopt what could aid some illegalities. This made me avoid it rather than the good side of it that could benefit me. Well, the opportunities are still there and my regret was not much, do you know why? I have good plans for my Bitcoin investment, which weighs more.

o me I have always viewed Bitcoin as something that only those with millions of dollars can participate in. And if you don't have then you shouldn't even consider involving yourself in it.
This was an outright misconception about Bitcoin, mine was not as bad as that, I had the needed information about the coin which happens to be true till today. I was only trying to be a more reasonable and responsible world citizen.
4745  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: US customers of Strike can send USD to Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana using lightning on: December 07, 2022, 03:54:03 PM
This is a welcome development yet for Africans, particularly Nigerian where the initiative has already kickstarted. This is one of the competitions that Bitcoin has brought to the payment system, it is driving more inclusion regarding the use of blockchain technology and it would better challenge the dominance of banks and other financial institutions that would move money slowly and still charge exorbitant amounts for it.

This is about Bitcoin-Fiat transactions, which is good, and I always say that Bitcoin cannot thrive in isolation, therefore let's kick out the dominance of those old fashion financial ways to give room to faster transactions and low fees like this.

I will be judgemental here regardless of how many people who had replied refuted this though I have not used bc.game before. If you did not truly win the bet, why the refund to your account? This is part of the nonsense that betting companies are playing, and I am with the OP on this. You should however go by the advice of @joeperry which was clearly stated in the second reply as I don't want to repeat what he has explained. But be ready for further proof on this if required of you.
4747  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin Destroy Crap Altcoins? on: December 07, 2022, 07:48:46 AM
I would have loved it if the OP could expatriate on the significant impact of the global economic order that Bitcoin has put in place. Is it negative or positive? Because according to my knowledge and experience of the economy, Bitcoin has just eased the payment system, nothing more progressive on the part of the global economy.

Also, Bitcoin has not been completely adopted as we see, which makes me know that more would happen in the future on the positive side. This is regardless of whether Bitcoin is stable or not, it's about how the world would need it more due to its enormous advantages. And of course, altcoins will help with this, and more altcoins that would be more regulated and dependable might be developed soonest whether we like it or not.

This indicates that Bitcoin is not the point but the blockchain technology itself, and it would be advanced upon for better exploration.
4748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Types Of Online Casinos To Avoid.. on: December 07, 2022, 07:12:38 AM
Same case is with me and I think that trying in the gambling casino online is a wast if time cause they have set bots that can easily steal our money if you are gambling more and it sucks more. So also if you wanna go to casino than go to offline casino. And it could be gmae changer for someone.
If so, you don't need to visit casinos and gamble because it wastes time.
Losing money is a risk you can get from casinos.
If you are aware of that, you should avoid any casino.
still asking for why people keeps in risking when they are playing in not so legit casino ? there are so much to choose from so let us not fall into scam sites that only looking for potential victims.

Quote
There is no need to have other requirements to avoid that casino because you think it will steal your money.
But we know that casinos can also be life changers for many people so they keep trying to get their luck.
actually even legit casinos will take out our money, but at least with a small chance of winning that those scammers you have no other chance but to lose.
There are only a few cases in which gamblers have experienced being scammed in legit casinos. If you want assurance and don't want to be a victim of scammers, always make sure that you have chosen a legit and reputable casino.
For me, it's fine to try out new casinos but it's still important to check feedback and reviews first and try not to invest huge funds in them. There are still new casinos with good potential that deserves to be given a chance but we still have to be wise upon choosing.
Your advice is right and accurate, it's good to have more confidence in the old casinos and have so little confidence in the new casinos until they prove they are worthy of your money. The new casinos are the ones with the hugest bonuses, and some of them might practically be insane, which is a point of suspicion by a sensitive gambler.

This is not to discredit them entirely, but starting with them with a little amount after the gamblers had done their background checking is a wise idea.
4749  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: December 07, 2022, 06:40:21 AM
Quote from: Distraction
I'm actually worried about Manchester United more than Liverpool in the rest of the season. The reason for it is that I find Manchester United's attacking performance quite weak especially on the recent weeks of the league. They can't score goals comfortably. Their attackers are wasting so many goal opportunities which has cost them two or three points from time to time. Manchester United should find a solution to this problem. Maybe signing a striker would be helpful. They have parted ways with Ronaldo already.

Rashford and Martial seemed worrying in the recent times. If they don't show some positive performances after this break then they will really need the help of another striker. Garnacho is also there to help of course but we never know how consistent he can be. I can't fully trust him just because he saved them in a match. He is still a very young striker.

Manchester united coach will definitely get it right after the FIFA world cup to bring in new talented striker that will assist the team to improve in the area of attacking which is the major challenge Manchester united are facing right now. I believe, after the break Manchester united and Liverpool game will definitely change positively, because their fans are not happy the way their points is not increasing like the way Manchester city and Arsenal points is increasing every match. I think, Manchester united strikers will improve more after the FIFA world because some of their players in their national team are doing well in this FIFA world to show that there will be hope of improvement after the break.
I don't see it this way, the match and players would continue as it was before the world cup, that's my disposition about this. Although Erik Ten Hag is an experienced coach, nonetheless, that does not change the fact that he would have been studying talents even before the world cup, nothing changes as far as I'm concerned. New international players making their first appearance in the world cup are not many and might not be within his reach. So I believe the Man U and Arsenals' rivalry would be as same as before world cup, at least for this season.
4750  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The patience to hold is a gift on: December 06, 2022, 05:29:02 PM
It's obvious you are not an investor, and mind you, patience to hold might be a gift, but it does not guarantee success. What guarantees success in an investment is the ability to speculate rightly at any point in time, and this speculation might even advise you to liquidate your investment at any time to avoid the coming catastrophe. See, 'it's good to attack and retreat in every war,' this is wisdom which is important to replicate in crypto investment.

That said, investors should define the longevity of their investment, it might be short, medium or long-term, but it doesn't matter, yet speculation is still important to be a guide. This indicates that it's not necessary to be an excessive holder of any asset, including crypto, it only has to do with the investors' goal and the plan to realize the goal.

Conclusively, a good investor should be dynamic in decision-making and act based on the current market reality not minding the ROI to avoid making mistakes.
4751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2022 Group Stage Highlights on: December 06, 2022, 11:10:10 AM
In the first match, most of the people think about the Poland will win the match. But as surprise to many people, the game was unique from France. They made a good game, it’s only reason for the France to over take the Poland. Poland game should be improved on the future matches, it game against the Mexico was good enough. If they make such a placement in the France game, they may win. Even Poland make the good goal try in all his short. They are unlucky to complete the goal. The France game was impressive and improved as before. We can compare the France game with the Argentina game. In recent past.
Where did you get this statistic that "most of the people think Poland will win the match?" Poland is nowhere near France in this world cup when it comes to a brilliant performance, and they are the defending champion. They have all it takes to beat Poland black and blue and I easily won my bet with the match. The 3-1 result against Poland is still not satisfactory to me as France played as expected and they deserve the win. Poland has tried its best in this tournament too, but for how long would they keep their stay while better teams are still active?

How I wish I could change my vote on this poll, Germany disappointed me and many other people, but the ones that did not vote earlier are now increasing the stake of Brazil which is, not a bad idea judging by what we have seen so far. I will never bet on Germany again, I was still giving them the benefit of the doubt based on their track record in such competition.

In recent reality, I believe that the winner of the tournament should be between Brazil, Spain and France, but I wonder why the vote of France remains at 5 (3.8%), it seems people have less up in them than I do. Also, my observation reveals that many support Argentina, but I can bet it with nothing, they will not lift that trophy.
4753  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are some government scared of Bitcoin? on: December 06, 2022, 10:22:58 AM
Any reasonable and responsible government would be scared of Bitcoin, but the approaches that many of them are using in dealing with the situation are wrong. It's a known fact that the Bitcoin operation is not within the reach of governments (decentralization), hence the reason for being sacred. They fear it might cause unaccountability in the economy since they would not know the financial inflow and outflow, and believe it would aid illegal money flows, which is true as a result of its anonymity in most cases.
4754  Economy / Economics / Re: DOJ asks for independent probe of FTX, to gather evidence of fraud on: December 06, 2022, 10:09:12 AM
Not certain if this will make a difference. While the title calls it an independent probe, as if it were unusual.
I support a full-scale independent probe in this regard and the matter should be taken totally out of the Bahamas for this to be thorough and unbiased. Even in the US and other reliable countries, the political inclination of BSF might want to fight back, but with an independent investigation, such would be nailed completely.

Henry Ford was famous for saying if the public knew how the economy really functioned, that there would be a revolution by tomorrow morning. Was his prediction correct? I'm not quite seeing it.
This is total nonsense, the economy is working as it should work, but frankly, some sectors of the economy are shady/improperly managed, crypto industry is one of them, but we should not because of that totally condemn how the whole economy works.

Croatia had a really big difficulty against Japan today. They were barely able to eliminate Japan by penalty shootouts. If they don't make any improvement in their effort they can't do much against Brazil.

It would be unwise to count Croatia out just yet. These matches showed that Japan and Korea play at different levels.
Korea was one of the lucky teams to advance out of its group and play in a knockout round. If not for an unfortunate last-minute events, Uruguay would have been playing today instead.

On the other hand, Japan showed that it is a team to be reckoned with by beating two former world champions—Germany and Spain. So, it's not out of the question to think that Croatia could make it to the semifinals.

It's not unwise to underrate Croatia, all that I see with them thus far is that they are being lucky. The country's team tried in their own little way too, but how I wish they had met Netherlands, Brazil or France, you would have known the supremacy here. Also with Japan, they would not have won if not for the penalty, and we all know that penalty is not a respecter of how good you are.

Well done team Japan, you have been so impressive in this world cup. After all, the team was defeated honourably with a penalty shootout that is a game of luck.
4756  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Which Crypto would you like to see more in Online Casinos? on: December 05, 2022, 01:26:15 PM
This kind of question has been asked many times in this section and others, and one thing that is clear is that casinos and gamblers should not take this subject matter too seriously. This is because it's not about investment per se when it comes to the choice of the token or coin to be used often by casinos, but the convenience of depositing and withdrawing. Be that as it is, any coins or tokens that would allow low transaction fees are my choice in this regard. We have many of them, so I don't have to start making lists.

How is OP selling the casino he is talking about here? has it been sold? Can someone bite at the price he wants? I don't think anyone has had any interest in contacting him to buy it yet.

Maybe, if OP would just listen to other members' comments here, there is still a chance that the buyer might contact OP immediately. How about because the price he wants to happen is a bit unrealistic and OP doesn't seem to see that?

He hasn't been online for a couple of days, and I think that since he hasn't been very successful, we won't be seeing much of him around here.
It is possible that he doesn`t interesting to communicate here. He left contacts in the first post.

I don`t how the casino works, but if he is telling truth - the ROI is about 3 years is good enough. But it must be researched seriously before deal, with some financial and gambling specialists. The same time i think that it is possible to spend this money more clever - get a good dev team, create a new casino and promote it. It is possible that it will take more time, but i sure that it will be cheaper and you willn`t have any doubts in the deal.
This is generally not worth it even if the OP is responsive, the asking price of $1,500,000 is way too high. This is the site that one would use extra money to inquire about through the tech experts on the internet to verify that the claims of the OP are true to some reasonable extent.

Besides, can you imagine, a casino site garnering as low as 47,259.96 in a whole half of a year, how many years would the buyer run it before such a huge asking price and the investigation amount be made back? It's a bad business in my opinion, and who knows why someone would want to sell a working casino.
4758  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ponzi scheme scammer uses BTC to cover tracks on: December 05, 2022, 12:46:15 PM
Many people have used Bitcoin to perpetrate evil in the past and they are still doing that, but with caution now as Bitcoin is getting more adoption, knowledge and exposure. And Ponzi has been before BTC and would continue to be, but in an advanced scheme, and such is what Bitcoin made available through its privacy and anonymity. Many people have been swindled through this and many would still be scammed unless they are careful themselves in falling for HYIPs.

And as for the question of the OP, the Bitcoin Ponzi scam could only be traced if the scammer is careless. Although BTC transactions are traceable, there are many vices to make transactions untraceable.
4759  Economy / Economics / Re: The Labor Market Is Broken on: December 05, 2022, 08:14:17 AM
It is possible that the entirety of wage increases over the past 50 years have gone mainly to CEOs and executives. Wealth growth flatlining for other income brackets, could have reached a breaking point where having a job and working full time no longer allows many to pay their bills. In which case, the point and motive for working declines.
This is highly possible judging by what is happening in our society where the rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer. The money is not circulating as it should and labourers are working more but not much to show for it as an accomplishment.

It is known that many homeless living on the streets have full time jobs which do not allow them to afford the cost of rent. Not having to pay monthly rental fees greatly reduces the cost of living to only food and basic necessities. Basic living costs being more affordable, and it is possible that some beggars in the streets even manage to earn greater income than they would with a full time job.
This is part of the issues of the disparities in our society, yet this homeless living could work if you don't have wards. It would be inhumane to be capable of an apartment no matter how small it is but subject your wards to such conditions for the sake of cutting costs. Having said that, some of these people living this life are lazy, we should not pity their situation much. Yet, the rich should also learn how to give out either through gifts or increased wages or salaries for such situations to reduce.

Trading can be a hectic endeavor must, especially for those who are not persistent in their trading journey, but those who put all their time and mind into trading will develop skills over time that makes them more stable in trading. So in conclusion trading is for the passive mindset and not for the laggy mindset.
Contrarily, trading is not hectic, in fact, trading is so easy and cheap, it all depends on what you know and your plans towards it. Also, it is good for people without a passive mind, as passive people lag in action unless you don't know the meaning of being passive. In plain terms, just be such that is ready for it. I've seen many people that claimed to be passive but are no more trading because what they expected from it is not what they got. Trading would suit you depending on your nature as a person, and in terms of readiness for trading itself, this is with your time, energy, resources plans and others.
