501  Economy / Economics / Re: Who will Replace Russian Gas Supplies to Europe? on: March 04, 2022, 10:37:21 AM
There are suspicions that Russia might fight back by shutting gas supply to the West. Some sources confirmed that the US is already in talks with Qatar to become Russia’s substitute.  
 
But Qatar and other oil and gas producing nations confirmed that they will not be able to provide substantial amounts of gas to replace Russia’s supply.
 
African countries have been tipped as the best option because the continent has some of the world’s deepest gas reserves. But Africa might not replace Russia because of insecurity and lack of infrastructures.

Who will replace Russia?

https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2022/3/1/analysis-can-african-gas-replace-russian-supplies-to-europe

America and other European countries have imposed sanctions on Russia trade and economy, so far the European Union has agreed to close access to imports and imports from
and to Russia, I think what they are doing now is not harming Russia at all and even seems like a boomerang for Europe, Russia is the main supplier of oil and gas to Europe, so if Europe banned Russia, wouldn't Europe be committing suicide?

Hi everyone I was wondering if the overall Russian-Ukraine situation in Bitcoin is now pretty low, will it soar if the whole war is resolved again? What is your opinion? Thank you.

The war did affect the movement of bitcoin prices in the market, even before the war started the price of bitcoin experienced a fairly deep decline, but not long ago the price of bitcoin rose again to the price level of $44K, now the war is heating up back and bitcoin is again experiencing a decline of course this is an opportunity for us to buy it, I think when the war starts to subside later of course the global economy will also recover and the possibility of bitcoin prices will also increase because investors are starting to calm down in holding their assets.
503  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This Ukraine issue has me thinking a lot. In a crisis, how valuable is bitcoin? on: March 04, 2022, 09:10:20 AM
Assume you must evacuate your house during a wartime situation. You don't have any cash, but it's been depreciated owing to previous occurrences.

You, on the other hand, have your phone, hardware wallet, and seeds. You're in a nice mood.

The internet and cellphone networks then fall down.

How do you intend to use your bitcoin? Is it completely worthless?


Seeing a lot of news lately like: https://mycryptoparadise.com/ukraine-suspends-electronic-bank-transactions-following-its-unrest-with-russia/
In an emergency like that, it's clear that safety, water and food are the main things that we have to pay attention to, while bitcoin and other assets that we have in our wallets of course we can't use because we don't have internet access, but I think we still have to store them properly good because war will not always happen, and when the war is over at least we will have enough capital to start a new life later.
504  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor says crypto regulations would speed adoption on: March 04, 2022, 08:45:15 AM
No, I don’t think that the adoption has nothing to do with government regulation. Having a tight government regulation might even discourage some of the old users who liked Bitcoin for the fact that it gives them privacy and not having the government force themselves into everything they are doing. And another thing is that government regulation doesn’t stop the volatility in the market or does it?

I believe that for most of the people there are three major things keeping from investing in Bitcoin: it is either that they are not interested in it, second is that they do not understand it, and lastly is the volatility of the asset is too much. So these are the issues here and not regulation..
This is also my personal view on crypto regulation. For me, its even a positive way of reinforcing people to invest in bitcoin because its protected by the government and that regulations are made for the security of the crypto investments and to protect the interest of the investors.

Regulators’ concerns around the world include how to conduct know-your-customer checks and ensure anti-money laundering, as well as make sure digital transactions aren’t used to move illicit goods and fund terrorism. This way, it will create positive awareness to all the people and that may lead to speed up its adoption in the future. https://www.arabianbusiness.com/gcc/uae/469931-crypto-cracking-out-of-shell-regulation-education-needed-to-speed-up-adoption
With regulations, of course, it will provide guarantees for us in carrying out every crypto transaction, maybe indeed we have to pay taxes if the government implements regulations on crypto, but as long as the tax is still in a reasonable percentage, of course it doesn't matter in my opinion, I think regulation is very necessary to adopt bitcoin and impose limits on the use of bitcoin to be clear in the economy in a country, but I think the government also needs to make rules that make sense and don't hinder the industry or the development of bitcoin in the future.
505  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia has attacked nuclear power plant in Ukraine on: March 04, 2022, 08:33:54 AM
President Putin is making a reckless move that will cost so many lives in Europe and taking the war towards a nuclear power plant is not a proper step. What kind of intention does he have for the Europeans? Although the power plant was not affected because the Ukrainian Military intervened but, it's a huge risk for the world to sit back and watch such a trait on a nuclear reactor. The blast will cause a lot of catastrophe.
It seems that Russia has now started targeting vital facilities belonging to Ukraine and one of them is the nuclear power plant, to be honest I can't imagine if the reactor exploded, because according to the Ukrainian foreign minister, the power plant has 6 reactors which contain materials nuclear fuel, if the six reactors exploded, of course, it would cause many victims and even 10 times bigger than the Chernobyl explosion that occurred in 1986, the Chernobyl explosion resulted in 350,000 local residents having to out 10 to 30 kilometers from the center of the Chernobyl explosion and imagine if blow up the power plant 10 times bigger Cry.
506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 03, 2022, 06:32:15 PM
Bundesliga only has 10 match left this season, with a difference of 8 points between Bayern Munich and Dortmund, is it possible for Dortmund can to stop Bayern Munich from winning their 10th trophy this season in a row in 10 consecutive seasons?
I think winning bundesliga trophy for 10 consecutive seasons is an extraordinary record for a team, but that record achievement also proves that the Bundesliga is not a competitive league so far.
507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: March 03, 2022, 06:19:43 PM
In this week's La Liga match, we will see the match between Real Betis Vs Atletico Madrid, this match is a very crucial match for both teams, if Real Betis wins, they will be safer in third place standings, meanwhile if Atletico Madrid wins If they win, they will be able to occupy third place in the La Liga standings.

I have confidence that Atletico Madrid will win this match, because based on the history of the matches between the two of them, Atletico Madrid have never lost. What's your prediction?

Real Betis has really a rough schedule this couple of weeks. They continue to play against really hard opponents. They played against Sevilla now they are playing against Atletico Madrid. I think Betis is in advantage with how good they are playing and in their attacking power,but Atletico Madrid has a lot of experience in this kind of matches and this will be important,will be a nice match to watch.
Quite crucial match for both teams, so far the two teams are only 1 point adrift, Betis who is ranked 3rd will of course provide a fierce enough resistance to maintain its current position, while athletico is of course aiming for full points to be able to shift Betis position, Looking at the history of the two teams, I personally prefer to bet for the athletico victory, yes, although this season Betis have appeared quite consistent, but the altletico, which often relies on hard play, can of course be very troublesome for Betis to develop their game.

What if Man Utd wins the match against Man City on 6th March. Man City is the leading team and yes Man Utd is not a poor team to have a easy win for Man City. Man City will have a tough time to win but however, if Man Utd is going to missing all the chances like in the last match, then yes, Man City is going to nail them but yes, I am sure, by now Man Utd team should have learnt where was the problem. Hope they come back on their usual performance on 6th March and prove themselves as one of the best team. There are lot chances for a draw.
Manchester city must win in the match later, because after all Liverpool are starting to press them at the top of the standings and if Manchester City is defeated by Manchester United of course Liverpool will feel quite happy with this because they can cut the distance, but of course in another match Liverpool must can beat Westham to match the points owned by City, but I personally really doubt that Manchester United will be able to beat City because so far Manchester United is still in a pretty bad performance in the league.
509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 03, 2022, 02:09:28 PM
Fiorentina play very well that I was even expecting them to win, it was a surprise that juventus won the match even without not put much effort in the game. Fiorentina had many chances of winning,  they were dominating and their defense was a tight one but am still surprise with their performance they still didn't win. I think juventus was lucky to have victory against Fiorentina,  I predicted Fiorentina will win the game or it will end up draw.

Having a good number of scoring chances, Fiorentina got angry and scored an own goal  Grin In fact, Juventus didn't deserve this victory (although maybe the Juventus goalkeeper did), but football is often unfair and we see such results. Let's hope that Fiorentina will be more successful in the second leg and Juventus will have to work hard to reach the final.
Juventus were lucky enough to win in that match, I thought the match would end in a 0-0 draw but unfortunately Fiorentina got an own goal in the last minute of added time, with this goal it seems that Juventus will benefit a little more in the second leg later even though Fiorentina also still has a great chance to penetrate the next round, but vlanhovic attitude in that match really made me lift my hat, when an own goal was created by Venuti, vlanhovic was seen hugging venuti to provide motivation and encouragement for him.
510  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The world of sport reacts to the Russian invasion of Ukraine on: March 03, 2022, 01:52:45 PM
I agree with what the international sports committees did in banning russia who invaded ukraine from competing in world sports, but has the committee been doing fair rules so far?
Because as far as I know it seems that the world sports committee tends to be more aggressive when the ukraine state was invaded, but they were silent when the americas invaded aghanistan and the middle east, so it seems the world sports committee prefers to turn a blind eye to what israel is doing to palestine until recently.
Honestly, I see that there seems to be injustice in the decision, if they really criticize Russia actions,  of course they should take action against Israel, which continues to kill Palestinians...!

STOP THE WAR AND GIVE FOR FREEDOM FOR PALESTINE And UKRAINE


We all don't want war to happen anywhere, but the egos of many world leaders make bloodshed often happen, I think the current sanctions are just political games from people in power and make sports as a means of playing their politics, I think what what has happened in the last few days in ukraine is too much of a priority, while what has happened for years in palestine they have ignored all this time, I personally quite regret the attitude of world leaders who have turned a blind eye to all the suffering that has happened in palestine so far and hope they act fair in making decisions regardless of race and religion.
511  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Women and Cryptocurrency on: March 03, 2022, 01:38:18 PM
I also think that the survey conducted is not accurate with the reality that may happen now or in the future, because I think men are more likely to choose investments in virtual forms like bitcoin or crypto than women, literally we know that women prefer to collects luxury goods because then they can show off this luxury to their friends as opposed to keeping a deposit, so for me personally it is very difficult to accept the truth of the survey because of the nature of the woman so I don't think bitcoin or crypto they like , But, women prefer to invest the money is in gold or diamond jewelry.
512  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a means to restore people's authority over money on: March 03, 2022, 12:30:42 PM
This is a new one for me. So we have no single Bitcoin mining activity in China?
I am sure that some people are mining in secrecy even if it has been banned, but the majority of Chinese miners have migrated to other countries. Many went to the United States, others moved to Kazakhstan, Russia, and other locations closer to China. When the ban was announced, the BTC hash rate dropped by 40-50% because Chinese mining companies were closing up shop.

China Bitcoin mining hash rate fell from more than 60% in May and close to zero in August, this shows that mining activities in China have stopped completely and the mining ban by the Chinese government has succeeded in making many miners move to Kazakhstan, even Kazakhstan reportedly is now the second largest country for crypto miners in the world, in my opinion a ban from china of course will not be able to kill the development of bitcoin,  because if one country prohibits mining of course miners will continue to move to other countries, and even in my opinion right now bitcoin mining starts to grow rapidly in various countries like mushrooms that grow in the rainy season.
513  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I get hacked, 2.4 bitcoin stolen from coinomi wallet on: March 03, 2022, 12:20:34 PM
I think what happened to the OP is no different from what happened to a coinomi user in 2019, a user named Warith Al Maawali has claimed that he lost nearly $60 thousand in assets due to a bug that occurred in coinomi, thus causing the user key or passwords are read in plain text and leaked to other parties so that they are easily accessed by third parties, I think coinomi might again need to review their current server security and if it does have a bug it's better to fix it immediately so that trust from user in coinnomi can be high again .
514  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia's effect on IT sector? on: March 03, 2022, 12:04:06 PM
For Russia's war with Ukraine, the west put heavy sanctions on Russia. That means export and import with Russia is not accessible. Data shows Russia is the biggest exporter of raw materials like copper, aluminum, nickel, platinum, palladium, etc which is used in chip making. That means we are expecting more delays in the semiconductor industry. We all know how important this staff is to run electronic devices. Disruption on-chip shortages could spike the price of digital devices too which affects globally. Is that a good idea to push Russia out of the world economy? This sanction of the west could have a boomerang effect?
The main strength of the Russian economy so far has been in its mining products, so if America continues to impose sanctions on Russia, of course this will also cause industrial panic in Europe, Russia is the largest nickel producer in the world, which is around 20%, besides that they also produce such as aluminum, gold, copper, bauxite, and also oil and gas which are the basic needs of European countries, as the largest producer of mineral mines, of course America sanctions may not be too bad affect Russia in the future, because Russia may sell their products to countries outside Europe who are also not America's allies, I think the sanctions imposed by America will affect their own economy because so far America is a consuming country that brings raw materials from other countries other countries including from russia.
515  Economy / Speculation / Re: New year new speculation on: March 03, 2022, 11:51:14 AM
Yes, that's right, that's how it should be before investing, many people fail due to hype and speculation, if this is still maintained, then we will experience bad things, it should be with the development of increasingly advanced technology, making many choices that we will get, so that make it easier not harder, that's why knowledge is needed now, rather than acting on hype and speculation.
Investing is not based on hype and speculation because it is not the final decision to invest in crypto, although sometimes hype and speculation become big profits at certain times but it is just a luck factor, analyze your knowledge for the main thing in investing without being influenced by hype and speculation.

The hype that exists sometimes often traps us in investing, many of us are affected and not infrequently are trapped in high prices when the hype lasts like what happened to shiba and dogecoin, I think experience and knowledge are important factors in trading in the market, With the ability to read analysis and understand the market situation, of course, we can avoid losses that might occur.
516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: March 02, 2022, 11:23:25 PM
It will be very disappointing to see Manchester City not winning the league this season after topping the table for a long time,but I still see them winning it just that Liverpool have pick form at the moment and that will put more pressure on Manchester City in their games especially when they will play before Liverpool at matchdays, but I trust pep guadiola in such times he has lot of experience in circumstances like this.

So far, Manchester City is quite comfortable at the top of the standings, and they even had time to leave Liverpool and Chelsea with a point difference that was quite far so that many people predicted that Manchester City would win the trophy this season very easily, but slowly they began to slip in some the match  and while liverpool started to return to their best performance after Salah and Mane returned from the african cup some time ago,  so they managed to cut the distance with manchester city.
I think with a difference of 6 points at this time it is not impossible that liverpool could  snatch the top of the standings especially they still have 1 game postponed against arsenal, but for us English league fans, of course, the intense competition for the champion at the top of the standings will make the league more interesting and will be the match that is worth watching every week.

Real sociedad team is ahead 1 0 after 60 minutes they are playing against mallorca and they seem in control of the game they did well in the first half they had many chances and they scored a goal in the 35 minute mallorca team is showing poor performance i dont think they will score in this game and if sociedad manage to win today, this important win will help them get the sixsth position.

Right now real sociedad are temporarily in superiority with the score 0-2, today match seems to give real sociedad the easy upper hand during the game, and now match it has entered the 78th minute but real sociedad looks quite comfortable in controlling the match, even if you look at mallorca game today it looks like they don't have a chance to equalize let alone beat real sociedad, although playing at home mallorca look more depressed and they haven't been able to create a single chance so far which has really endangered the real sociedad goal.

Sociedad is a much stronger team than their opponent today, so its not a big surprise that they are 0-2 up. If you take an overall look at the competition, they lost a lot of points in the middle stage of the competition. If they play well, this is a team that can also easily finish top 4, but this season it seems not their season. I am still curious how Barcelona will perform the last 10+ matches. Ok, in theory they still can become champion, and I have no doubt that they are going to win a lot of matches. If Barcelona would catch up Sevilla, that would already be a miracle if you consider the gap between them before Christmas.

Even in terms of position, Real Sociedad is far above Mallorca who is ranked 16th, but frankly, I really hope that today Mallorca can put up a fierce fight against Real Sociedad like when they faced Bilbao a few weeks ago, but instead I saw today mallorca are completely helpless even though they are playing at home.
I think in this case it will be very difficult to equate Real Sociedad with Barcelona, ​​because after all Barcelona underwent a lot of squad changes in last January transfers, while Real Sociedad I think they didn't do much activity in improving their squad in January, so slowly they started to weaken a bit towards mid-season as it is today.

The rivalry between Milan and Napoli will be very enjoyable, good matches are waiting for us. Inter is also approaching its rivals with a very good performance. When we look at the upcoming matches, I think Napoli's opponents are simpler, I think Napoli will be ahead in the leaderboard. An incredible match awaits us this week, the winning team will have a big advantage Smiley
I wonder why AC Milan wasted so many chances to stay on top of the table by winning the game. They must be able to maximize the opportunity well to get more points after successfully taking the standings from Inter and Napoli.

I don't believe they can win the title this season if their performances don't improve, it really doesn't make sense when they've already managed to lead Serie A. Napoli and Inter will have chances to win the title this season if AC Milan doesn't improve, they should have better fighting spirit now.

Maybe you're not the only one who is surprised to see AC Milan's current performance, but all Italian football fans of course ask what really happened to AC Milan who suddenly kept getting negative results in important matches?
I think after they failed in European competition of course Serie A will be their main focus and absence from other competitions will certainly give Milan an advantage because their schedule is not tight compared to their rivals in the league, but in fact they are starting to look worse now this and keep dropping points against other teams.

I remember about FIFA and UEFA announcement never mixing between football with political trough have several player celebrate their goal by showing support for Palestine freedom, almost player made it get punishment from UEFA and FIFA, latest with celebrate and support by Celtic fans and UEFA give punishment for Celtic. Right now have different thing with Russia invasion and make Spartak Moscow and Russian team national country have missing World Cup on Qatar after FIFA disqualify and banned them until unknow time, still waiting about Russian national country will make appeal.
I also think that fifa and uefa have double standards towards for russia and israel in making their decisions, so far fifa has always kept football away from politics but it seems that changed when russia invaded ukraina and they punished the russian national team and russian football clubs now to play in competition, I think that so far, FIFA and UEFA have always respected the value of sportsmanship and anti-racism, but their current attitude certainly shows a discriminatory attitude.
