Croatia - Brazil

this will be a game in which the crown will play more in defense to leave no room for brazil to score a goal, with Luka Modric being the guy who stands out the most in the crown, they will try to counterattack to be able to score a goal against brazil that's because brazil will put a lot of effort very early in the game to try to score goals early and then make the opponent unmotivated and not very willing to reverse the result, and brazil has many players with many individual techniques and for me brazil will win this one match
This is an interesting conversation for tonight, and of course, it is very interesting to watch, but it turns out that after I looked at some of the media and read the threads here, many predict that Brazil will dominate the field and be the winner, is Zlatko Dalić that stupid? maybe they think that Brazilian players have quite a lot of star players, and it's normal because of that. But Luca Modric and friends will definitely get the motivation to win against Brazil.

Quote
Netherlands - Argentina

without a doubt this is a game where you can't predict the outcome of the game, with argentina that doesn't inspire much confidence playing against the netherlands that is also another team that doesn't inspire much confidence I would say that either of these two teams can come out with victory in this game and for that reason I would not post on who can win in this game, in my opinion I will not bet on this game
Well of course it is very difficult to predict these two teams are very strong, on the other hand, I like Gakpo and on the other hand, I also like Lionel Messi, this makes me in a dilemma which one I will support and bet between the two, but the decision I made is betting to draw.

This known facts since the existence of Bitcoin because Satoshi wants a decentralized financial world which obviously an anti bank movement. It’s too late know for bank to lessen the popularity of Bitcoin it was being adopt already by many counties including US. Banks is starting to adapt on it and using the blockchain to match Bitcoin with there CBDC that use private blockchain.

Banks will never beat Bitcoin since people will choose decentralized over centralized in long term perspective.

True, something like this hasn't happened just once or twice in Bitcoin history, so my view is that this isn't something that should surprise me, as they usually do FUD at bad times to spread investors' fear for their money.

I came across this news on CNBC where standard chartered bank claims that bitcoin will reach 5000$. Being a bank, this can be their wish and not a reality. Banks do not want bitcoin to become popular and therefore they spread this negative information so people panic sell and do not adopt bitcoin.  Sad



Banks are just another body of government. Due to the decentralised nature of Bitcoins, no government can control Bitcoin, that is they cannot impose tax on it. This is the reason for which the government is against Bitcoins, and not making it as a legal tender. They advising all the banks to thoroughly moderate all the transactions associated with cryptocurrencies.

Yes, banks and governments are one unit in co-opting global and local finance, of course, this is clearly their plan to scare us bitcoin believers, my analysis after they scared the crypto market, they will declare a CBDC shortly future as an alternative transaction tool as opposed to Bitcoin.

But my view is when people use CBDC as a legal means of transaction it will make people easier to access Bitcoin than FIAT money, why do I think that? because many people have made Bitcoin an investment asset, of course Bitcoin is easier to access with CBDC, In the end, Banks and governments will admit it.

"And maybe the goal of satoshi will be closer to making Bitcoin a non-central transaction tool when everyone understands what and why bitcoin was created"
523  Economy / Economics / Re: How much longer until paper money is no longer in circulation? on: December 09, 2022, 07:03:53 AM
Honestly, It was too hard to predict when. However, we can never say NO to it as the development and adoption continues. It will certainly take a long time to see it happen, maybe 100 years (or even more). It can be shorter if we see the most significant reason for switching to digital currencies but for now, we haven't seen it yet.

I can't predict how many years it will take for digital currencies to normalize, but with this, I can illustrate that we need one to five new generations to accept digital currencies as legitimate global and local currencies without much question.

Just as I, who was born in the 20th century, did not ask many questions with Fiat money, why can pieces of paper be used to exchange goods and so on? Likewise, the new generation was born without doing much asking why digital-based exchange tools.
The circulation of FIAT money will gradually decrease in tandem with developments in technology and human resources because they will feel the need for digital money like we do with FIAT currency.

Quote
The government and merchants have huge participation in regard to this. They have some influence that could really affect the adoption process.
Yes, that's right, of course, they help expand adoption, but usually, they look at the market first, if the target market is already dominant in using digital currency, they make adjustments with new things to fulfil services.

I know that it is possible that civilization is getting more and more sophisticated and people are starting to think about how to continue to make their lives easier.
But on the other hand, for now, the circulation of paper money, which has been going on for a very long time as a medium of exchange for buying and selling, is still having difficulties and even in some areas in small areas there are still many people who do barter and this still exists in several regions in my country.
This can only happen to countries that are indeed more advanced and whose citizens understand technology, maybe they can still do it, but if in underdeveloped areas, progress like this will be hampered and when paper money is not implemented, it will be even more difficult for them.
Maybe it's true that they do that because it is a culture that is maintained in several tribes in remote areas.
But with the distribution of technology and the distribution of internet networks, they will slowly keep up with the times.



Additional thoughts
The circulation of FIAT money will gradually decrease along with the development of technology and human resources because they will feel the need for digital money as we feel for FIAT currency.

I'll be interested to see how the Barcelona players deal with the pressure after returning (in disgrace) from the World Cup. Spain had 8 players from Barcelona and 2 from Real Madrid, obviously the Barcelona players brought with them the habit of losing important games  Grin It is interesting whether this will affect their morale and play at the club level or not.
Yes, I am also looking forward to this, will it have a significant effect on their game in Barcelona, if it is true that the Spaniard was affected mentally in the match against Morocco yesterday, it will have a very bad impact on the stability of Barcelona's game, and of course, the La Liga leader will be replaced immediately if that happens.
Unlike the case with Real Madrid players who only have two representatives, Dani Carvajal and Marco Asensio, of course, this will not affect the players at Real Madrid.
An additional negative factor is that before the first games in La Liga, which could possibly help to forget what happened, it is still far away and the players will think about what happened for the rest of the time until the resumption of the Spanish championship. By the way, Lewandowski also does not have the mentality of a winner - in a completely lost game, he rejoiced like a child at a goal scored (the score became only 3-1 and Poland went home).

I really hope that Barcelona will be able to start fresh. This does sound like it is quite impossible. But I hope the Barcelona players who played for Spain will be able to forget what happened in the World Cup and start playing well for Barcelona.

Actually, this is great motivation for them to play well in club competitions. They lost against a rather weak opponent in the World Cup and got knocked out. That should be unlimited motivation for them. The thing is the players will choose how they use that emotional drive. They can be sad and cry about what happened in the World Cup. Or they can man up and say that they cannot change the past. But they will have to prove by performing in the future.

Yes, maybe this is a big motivation for every individual who is able to look ahead and ignore this incident anymore. apart from motivating himself, Of course, the Barcelona official must provide a motivational boost that makes them rise again not drag on in sadness, unlike the case in 2018, representatives from Barcelona only 4 players for Spain out of 14 players who entered the world cup with different countries, of course, this doesn't have a moral burden of trust from the squad.

I also hope to be better for Barcelona and the players who represent it can consume that match as motivation to become better and be able to ignore the media or those around them who say bad things.

discussing trust Holding your keys is simply the best option when it comes to cryptocurrencies, security of your funds should be the number one thing you consider, and people have always warned against trusting an exchange. I don't think, I wonder why people will so much put their trust in exchanges, not only CEO but also individuals, anything centralized I don't like, talking about banks I wish I was a legislator banks are just too annoying the way they operate is just too selfish, and holding your keys is simply the best option. keeping it safe matters a lot.
I agree with you that indeed security and freedom are of the utmost importance here including the anonymity. But I am not too naive with centralized exchanges, because they advertise everywhere - openly and widely, and of course make it easy for new people to enter the exchange. after they have experienced disappointment with any centralized exchange, what I see is like what happened to FTX, the impact of the flow of funds from centralized exchanges to decentralized exchanges has increased significantly. it means that new people/customers need time to learn Bitcoin and Dex until they are like you now.
526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 08, 2022, 04:06:39 AM
Brazil vs Croatia match is going to be played on 9th December.  Although Croatia has come a long way but can they keep up with Brazil?  Because the best Brazil team in the world is still the best in the world because it is almost far ahead of Croatia in the FIFA rankings.  But I think Brazil will win here because Brazil can score more than 2 goals against Croatia.  In the few matches that have happened with Croatia in the past, Brazil have won almost all of them.  However, considering this aspect, the chances of Brazil winning are high.
This match reminded me of last year's world cup even though Brazil and Croatia went through different streams.
In last year's World Cup, Brazil was defeated by Belgium at that time with a score of 2-1 in the quarter-finals, and Croatia beat Russia, and England until they met in the final with France.
I don't mean to doubt Brazil, but looking at Croatia's history, it also has good experience in the world cup journey, meaning that we can't underestimate Croatia in this matter, although I admit that the performance of Brazilian players has been very good this year and many people are talking about it, but Croatia is relatively quiet in media, could it be that they are on purpose and will surprise us in their game.
527  Economy / Economics / Re: Will central banks ultimately fail in their goal of lowering down inflation? on: December 08, 2022, 03:36:11 AM
Inflation is a difficult thing to cure, usually inflation will continue to occur and repeat, the central bank will try to increase the income of citizens by many roads, the central bank will provide convenience for loans to banks so as to make citizens can be helped and earn income that can cover inflation .
Of course, inflation is very difficult to cure and often recurs if money is not printed with the right rules and measures, but that does not mean it cannot be normalized.
Inflation is a natural thing if it occurs if it is within normal limits of 1-3% but it will be dangerous if it exceeds that presentation, this can be caused by a shortage of raw materials so that production cannot meet people's demand so that goods that people need become scarce in the market, that which caused a significant price increase. If the central bank plays a role only by relaxing the rules for making loans, it will be detrimental in my opinion. The problem here is not that there is no money, but that there is too much money in circulation and the circulation of commodity goods is limited, which causes prices to soar. Here what must play an important role is the government which can find supplies of commodity goods or substitute alternatives to fulfil market demand.
Maybe the central bank's discretion is to raise interest rates to reduce the circulation of money in society and stop printing money.

I still cannot digest Spain went home the way it did.
I actually gave my vote in this thread about seeing Spain the finals... So many teams I thought they would over-perform are gone now, among all the alleged scandals, etc. This world cup is being quite unpredictable.

I wasn't surprised by Spain's exit, but not at this point in the round of 16. Despite some slight modifications to their squad, they still have a powerful team to reckon with and go further than this in the World Cup. Let me just wish them success next time, although they did their best to advance far than this in this World Cup. Unpredictable events are one of the things that keep football fans throughout the world interested in the game. What a shock to see Spain leaving so soon!
Many people were wrong in their predictions about Morocco's match with Spain, including me, who also suffered a loss in Spain at that time. Until now, I also still have doubts about it, even though I previously predicted that Spain would draw with Morocco but didn't bet on it.
This is history for world football. Morocco became a team that brought pride to Africans. Maraco was the only one to qualify for the quarter-finals from the African continent by expelling Spain in the last 16 playoffs.
Y.Bounou was the hero in that game and for sure he will be targeted by big clubs in the January transfer market.
529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: December 07, 2022, 04:14:39 PM
The pressure is really on Barcelona, because it has been long they won la Liga league title which they need to do everything within their power to maintain this standard until they achieve this season title. Now that Real Madrid performance is gradually reducing in this season, because of the injuries some of their players are experiencing showed that this season title will be difficult for them to achieve  easily like the way they used to achieved titles without much stress. Barcelona coach will not allow this season to pass them by than to introduce more tactics that will make their performance increase after the break.

I'll be interested to see how the Barcelona players deal with the pressure after returning (in disgrace) from the World Cup. Spain had 8 players from Barcelona and 2 from Real Madrid, obviously the Barcelona players brought with them the habit of losing important games  Grin It is interesting whether this will affect their morale and play at the club level or not.

530  Economy / Economics / Re: The impact of Russian and Ukrain war on world economy on: December 07, 2022, 02:18:40 PM
It's been 10 months of the Russian vs Ukraine War and of course made a huge loss for Ukraine, while Russia is a large country with a very strong military economic power so that it is not too affected, especially the position of Russia is a country of the attacking, a very large infrastructure loss and takes a long time for Ukraine to get up again.
I don't know how long this war will last, Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy are still in their own right, and neither of them wants to give up. What I'm worried about is attracting other countries to war, and of course, the damage will be widespread.
What I'm also afraid of, is when the economy starts to stabilize again in various industrial sectors and prices start to improve from food to oil in any part of the world, there is still the potential for another explosion because this tension has not reached a meeting point between the two. I hope that this war ends quickly and does not cause new problems so that the economic cycle returns to normal and is stable.
531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Qatar world cup Final Predictions on: December 07, 2022, 01:31:43 PM
incredible Morocco managed to pass by beating Spain, I was skeptical from the beginning of the World Cup that it was strange but I certainly did not expect this surprise hit.  Now will I have to change my mind even on the outcome of a victorious France of the title?  We'll see what other surprises await us
What is clear is that at this time many new players have emerged and have potential, which is what makes this world cup different from usual, my thoughts are also because in the last two years the entire team has rarely played matches due to last year's pandemic where activities were limited on the field. I think it's normal that many big football teams get a surprise at this Qatar world cup.
It is not impossible that Francis will be eliminated in the quarter-finals considering that the next opponent will be England who will also play well on the field. In my opinion, the one who scores the first goal has the potential to win the game because in my opinion the strategy will change if you are already ahead, and change it to semi-defence until the match is over.

I think England and Brazil will meet in the final round of the Qatar world cup.
532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 06, 2022, 05:32:51 PM
As I said earlier, Spain's game against Morocco will end in the penalty box. extra time started and both teams were still scoreless.
I wonder what's wrong with Spain? Is Morocco very strong now or is Spain weakened? Even so, I admit that Spain had more than 65% possession, but nothing came of it.
Luis Enrique and W Reragugui will be in a tense moment, they will try their luck if penalties are the last resort in this match.
I hope morocco wins this game and brings good news to the African continent.
533  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or altcoin? on: December 06, 2022, 04:54:08 PM
Leaving sentiments asides, will you advise someone to still buy some Bitcoins (Not up to the value of 1)  if they have an amount of money that will be okay to purchase the equivalent of 1 of a good altcoin with a strong community? Is having some bitcoins (in decimals) more valuable still than having the value of one good altcoin?
Of course, I will still recommend Bitcoin as the safest investment alternative, because as long as I have been in the crypto world, I have lost a lot of value in Altcoins. If you only look at it from a community perspective and other fundamentals that say "everything works and are reliable", that still doesn't prove that altcoins are completely safe.
Not a few Altcoins have a very strong community but most of the Altcoins after the price falls due to FUD or other things that cause the price to fall, most are difficult to get back up, unlike Bitcoin, although it often experiences various threats of losing value, Bitcoin always grows back and even creating new ATH.
534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 06, 2022, 03:56:33 PM
Currently, Morocco performance is quite good and their struggle to reach the top 16 is considered very difficult. But in the end, they have to meet Spain and maybe they won't have too many chances to qualify. Even though Spain is currently filled with young players, in fact, they are able to play solidly. I am not discouraged even though I really want a little surprise from Morocco because I think the dark horse national team must have a good role in the World Cup.
I think Morocco was able to keep up with Spain's match in this first round, maybe this is a question mark whether Spain can beat Morocco now? Moroccan players are more able to suppress the Spanish goalkeeper. With the 4-3-3 formation of the Moroccan team showing that they are not afraid against Spain, it is clear here that Morocco wants to score goals first and then do a defensive formation.
I predict this will get a draw until the end of the second half and get extra time like Japan and Croatia in the previous match.
535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 06, 2022, 01:08:47 PM
The match between Morocco and Spain will also be played today.  I expect the Portugal-Switzerland fight head-to-head, but I cannot say the same for Morocco and Spain.  We will probably see a comfortable win for Spain.
Only two African countries qualified for round 16 and Senegal already lose to England, which the remaining African country left is Morocco and they will be playing against Spain today, I don't think Morroco will be able to defeat Spain in today's match, but let's hope Morocco will put smile on Africans face today. I don't really know but the round 16 of the World Cup this year has been very predictable.
Morocco cannot be completely underestimated because they demonstrate their strength in their group stage matches, as they are a team that no one expected to qualify and did so by topping their group with seven points more than Croatia, Belgium, and Canada.
Although we know how Spain's football team is, there is a good chance that they will beat Morocco's team because they have more world-class players than Morocco and this stage of the competition requires experience, which will be Spain's main hope today.
Yes, indeed Morocco is currently very extraordinary to come out as group winners in the preliminary round, feeling doubts about Morocco's victory over Spain in this match is a natural thing, but underestimating it is wrong considering they have already qualified for the last 16 of the world cup Qatar. I think that's an achievement. Many predict that Spain will win this match, but I think Walid Reragui will adopt a defensive strategy without scoring more goals and will try his luck on penalties.
536  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you were the government, how would you fight against bitcoin? on: December 06, 2022, 12:06:27 PM
First, make sure Bitcoin is seen as the bad guy everywhere by everyone.  How hard is it for the FBI or CIA to pretend Bitcoin has been found to empower one of the largest criminal network in the world?  Ensure mainstream media coverage all around the globe.  This is enough for Bitcoin's Market Cap to already drop substantially.

As far as I know, they have done it including the Fed, government efforts to fight Bitcoin in any country have always failed, with various FUDs being carried out, ranging from regulatory issues, mining bans, trade bans, environmental issues, CBDC, and other news to fight Bitcoin including What do you say. It was only effective for a few months, and I've noticed that after the crash bitcoin always bounces back and more and more people are using it after the news wears off.
I don't think there has been an organized FUD covering the whole country to boycott Bitcoin because if that is done it will be a boomerang for the government itself, because ordinary people will know about it and will certainly raise curiosity about what Bitcoin is, and as I said it will only be effective a few months and surely Bitcoin will rise again.

Quote
shut the Internet or Electricity grid for a matter of minutes.  Yes, minutes of national Internet shut down or power cut I think could have a very serious impact on Bitcoin's credibility.

If it is turned off only in one country, it will be useless, considering that Bitcoin has an international scale. It might be more effective if the scope of the blackout had to be done on an international scale, then it would affect Bitcoin's credibility. And I think it is impossible to do because it will have an impact on the stability of the order of other sectors.

I think if the Internet still exists and electricity is still used around the world, there is no way to fight Bitcoin other than adapting to it.
537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: December 05, 2022, 08:43:04 PM
I think if Real Madrid let go of players like Luka Modric, Tony Kroos, and Benzema it would have a negative effect on their team. Benzema is one of the best strikers who has supported Real Madrid so far. Luka Modric on the other hand is a great midfielder. If Real Madrid leaves these senior players, the team will face some disaster.
Right now they are depending on these three players. Therefore, Anceloti must immediately find a replacement. But letting them not retire or leave is stupid, Madrid must immediately regenerate players. I hope they are not wrong and are effective in selecting players so that they continue to dominate the League and UCL. Because some clubs sometimes always play badly if they are left by key players in the team. Hopefully that doesn't happen in Madrid.
It seems that there will be changes after the Qatar world cup in any league including La Liga, given the large number of potential new players in this world cup, of course there will be opportunities for each team to strengthen their squad in the January 2023 transfer market.
Joan Laporta has indicated that he will bring in new players in the January 2023 market to strengthen Barcelona.
But strangely I heard the news that Carlo Ancelotti is not going to buy new players for his team, is it possible that he is very confident with his team now and forces Benzema, Luca Modric and Tony Kroos to keep playing? Yes, I agree with you that pushing yourself without regenerating new players will be dangerous for Real Madrid in the future, and lagging behind the rest. I hope Carlo Ancelotti makes a wise decision for the future of Real Madrid.

Brazil game is about to start and it seems that neymar will start in this game, if brazil perform as they did in the first two games they will win easily with neymar back Tite has more choices offensively especial with his dribbling ability i expect an easy win for them.
Brazil and Korea game has just started - both the team are in good spirit
Both the teams have to win - Brazil is more in number in the stadium but the number matters in the score. Let's enjoy the match
I think it will be very tough for Korea in this round, Tite will definitely deploy his main team to win the match in the first round.
And sure enough, in the 7th minute Vinicius Junior scored a goal against Korea, Paulo Bento will not find luck in this match as he did against Portugal in the qualifying round.
The addition of Neymar's goal through a penalty kick added to the advantage for Brazil in this first round.
I doubt Korea can catch up. The last team from the Asian representative seems to have to catch up with his friends who have gone home earlier.

In the list of top goal scorers for this world cup Qatar 2022, Mbappe is topping the list with 5 goals already and the rest following in the train are from 3 goals below including Messi. So I think kylian Mbappe has a greater chance to going home with the golden boot. The France team is strongly leading their world cup campaign, being in the race they Mbappe is my choice for the highest goal scorer this world cup.
Even though Kylian Mbappe is the temporary top scorer in this world cup with five goals, in my opinion, it is still too early to say that Kylian Mbappe has the potential to become the top scorer in the Qatar world cup, the match has not yet reached a very tense moment, France is still in the rankings In the last 8 and Mbappe's goal difference is only two goals from all the players who enter the goal statistics, maybe Mbappe's steps will be stopped by England in the next match, considering that England also has Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford with three goals.
