They want to stop Nato from doing something? Well Nato will help Ukraine win the war.
Sorry here I don't think that NATO as an organization will be doing anything on that. In this Ukraine is not a member of NATO and this can't allow NATO to start any fight with Russia. They can protect the NATO state in the area. Ukraine can rely more on EU to help to tighten sanctions against Russia and for the main time EU is already giving out sanctions to Russia and the economy is feeling the impact. The Russian people have been blocked from many financial payment system and that is giving alot of queues in banks. Master and Visa card, Apple are all not giving service to Russia people.
The rate of sanctions being slammed at Russia has led to a serious meltdown of their economy. Going through the news as of recent and I noticed that their currency has even lost much of its value within a very short period, 1 Russian ruble is worth below one cent now.

And yes as you have said, Ukraine won’t be getting any much support from NATO since they are not a member of the organization yet, so they would only be getting supports such as the EU sanctioning the Russia as they are doing right now, and US has also sanctioned them too, which would definitely bring down their economy in so many levels.

I Think bitcoin can't fall because it's already succeed. If bitcoin will falls then we will go back old version. Bitcoin long term survive cryptocurrency and most valuable coin.Most countries didn’t accepted bitcoin and bitcoin transaction but people still using bitcoin so i think bitcoin will be more survive in future.
Yeah, it’s already succeeded, but it is also up to all of us to keep it that way. We should all make sure that we do the right thing. And how are we going to do the right thing? By making that we secure every space and not give them (the government) any chance to penetrate. The way I see it, Bitcoin is not going to fail, even the government knows that there is no way they will be able to stop Bitcoin, so what they are trying to do now is to adopt it and regulate. Because they know that even if they decide to ban, it doesn’t stop people from making use of it through peer to peer.

that sounds fun. I agree that this is great advertising for both of them. also, according to the article, Sportsbet.io is trying to educate people about bitcoin and blockchain through this event(which is a great thing to do).
Whether this is going to be a break for sportsbet.io as a crypto gambling site, I believe that sportsbet.io is already popular with or without this. The event is interesting as it teaches people if what is btc and blockchain? That is needed because sportsbet.io is a crypto based gambling site and they need to learn the basics of crypto first before they engage on it.

Why can't you participate when I think this will be conducted online because sporstbet.io is also an online gambling site. There is also virus and events outside can still be restricted but this is going to be tough because the prize is big. I won't hope for it anymore.

Propably end of Russian Central bank and wakeup call for every individuals who hold their assets in the form of Fiat. How can government says what to do with our earned money? They didn't gave it for free we all worked our ass to get some and multiply with our smart work for years then suddenly an individual order what we should hold?
They can do what they wanted to because it was from them and people are only borrowing it even if they say that it was on their own hands. This is the downside of using a government/bank owned currency because it can be frozen anytime. There is no one to be blamed here but us if we still continue using fiats.

We have already been warned before about the risks and we are being recommended to use bitcoin. When we work we should prefer to get paid in bitcoin, btc is also ideal for future savings than storing money in the banks because you don't know what can happen with your money. Its value are also going to decrease over time.

Can anyone help me buy low, sell high? in 2022 which project will x100
That's not gonna happen that someone would just go in front of you and tell you that this token is going to be x100 for sure.

It's unknown for such projects these days which is going to have that multiple gains up to x100. Well, to get some idea, you're on your own and it's part of what you do of asking people what they think is going to have that gain.

But, most of them are just guessing and mere suggestions.
It is hard to predict a token but if your lucky, a new token can easily climb 100x. If in BTC, 100x is possible but it could not happen for now. BTC needs to face some struggles first before it continues to increase successively.

The wars and bears is what makes it hard for the token to climb right now and I think the hype for NFT and metaverse have also lowered. He needs some knowledge before or after asking a suggestion because not all here are serious about their suggestions but others can be lying and tells you that this certain coin can go 100x but you will know that it wasn't true because you already have an idea if what coins have a potential and what are not.

Everyone who are used to cryptocurrency might've come across several conversations.
When someone asks you what crypto is, what will be your response?

Make the response to be short, it can be in a single line. There will be difference of view. My view on it

"Financial Freedom that lets me retire earlier"
The way you explain btc is too powerful, its nice that you include the word retire in your sentence because for sure many are not going to get impressed if you will only say financial freedom because most people already used to on using a fiat. In my case, when someone ask me in my local if what is crypto, I will say crypto is a form of money that can be used as an investment to earn a profit.

Now, if you noticed I also include the word profit because that is important and I know this makes them become interested to learn more. No need to make your explanation longer because that can bore the listeners. Remember our goal here is to attract as much people. We are building an army in here.
527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 27, 2022, 07:22:33 PM
India own the 3rd T20 against Sri Lanka. A good play from each team. Shanaka was on fire seriously batting 74 runs out of just 38 balls with 9 fours and 2 sixes which was brilliant. Shanaka saved Srilanka from closing down under 100 runs. Hats off to Shanaka. Shreyas Iyer's 3rd 50 today. What a play it was. Almost Shanaka and Shreyas showed their best today.

Hooda's start was so lovely. He was almost like uthappa or any player in the middle order with more confidence and striking back to back. I am sure he will be one of the best player in the middle order in future. Yes Sreyas Iyer was the pillar today as well. Well played.
A very spirited win by Team India, and now they are unbeaten in their last 12 twenty/20 matches which is great from them as very good preparation for next twenty/20 world cup which is going to help in Australia just after 8 months.

After watching recent few matches now I am feeling they are taking good lessons from their past mistakes and proving their bench power is also very strong in new youngsters shape which can handle all situations Shreyas Iyer is new sensation for them in future as he is a good all-rounder who is handling things in very positive way 204 is very good score by any youngster in 3 match series with this Ishan Kishan is also having very good time now these youngsters need to give good show down in IPL for better experience.
528  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Time to buy some low cap coins on: February 27, 2022, 06:10:40 PM
if you suggest to us to buy some of the altcoins of the choice you mentioned maybe I will just choose matic because I don't want to take risks with low market cap coins I prefer the top coins like bitcoin, ethereum and bnb.
Is matic a low cap coin? Because it's included in the list and I thought you don't want low cap coins? But why do you still pick matic? Low cap or not, matic is one of the best coins right now to consider. I think one must not afraid to invest in this coin. There is a risk of the price going down but that is normal for every crypto.

A real risk is when you invest in unknown coins because they can go down and cannot go up again. It is nice though that you prioritize BTC, eth, and bnb as these three coins are far more advanced than compared to matic and other low cap coins. I have a feeling that bat coin can go up soon because more and more people are now using the brave browser.
529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 26, 2022, 06:09:39 PM
184 was really a lovely score by Sri Lanka. Opers started fantastic and Nissanka scored 75 out of 53 balls with 11 boundaries and Gunathilaka scored 38 out 29 balls. Though next three wickets were back to back, Dasun Shanaka played awesome scoring 47 out of just 19 balls with 5 sixes and 2 boundaries which lead the team reach 184. Indian openers did not start up very well and lost the wickets. But Shreyes Iyer, Sanju Samson and Jadeja were the ones strong and finished the game even before 3 overs. 2:0 Now. Both teams really played well.
Recently good thing happening with Sri Lanka they are doing very good batting and giving some good targets to their opponents, but sadly they are losing in bowling because their bowlers are not giving them good results which is really matter of concern for them in last few years after losing few legendary bowlers now they are facing some serious drought in this way which need to fill as soon as possible right now just Wanindu Hasaranga is giving best job to his team and have no good support from other side right now quality in bowling a bit question mark on them and just because of this now they are staying at 10th position in twenty ranking which is really matter of shame as now West Indies Afghanistan and Bangladesh are in better shape and having better rankings.
530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: February 26, 2022, 05:35:10 AM
Afghanistan is not a full fledged test playing team while Bangladesh is a regular test playing country. So performing good against an associate team does not prove the fact that Bangladesh is very good at home conditions. Bangladesh were recently whitewashed by Pak in Test and T20Is at there home grounds. Afghanistan is an underdog in this series.
With the popularity of short formats now it's very hard for few countries to have better result in this test format because it needs some good patience and better technique which are time-consuming things and new breed of cricketers love to enjoy ODI and t20, so test failure is increasing for new countries very strongly.

Bangladesh is not giving time in domestic set up which is also very important for this and Afghanistan is not able to play this at home, so they are just enjoying short format but still have some good players for giving good response in test format, but I am feeling they will be not good enough in near future until they also have some strong domestic set up which help their players for having some good experience in this format for better success ratio. Right now, we have strong domestic set up in very few countries, so they are enjoying good in all formats.

Barcelona ended the doubts of everyone about the rematch by playing incredibly well and destroying Napoli by 4-2 in this away game. Actually, it was not important to play away or home for Barcelona as long as they played like real Barcelona. And they really did so. Having a 4-1 lead until the 60th minute was just marvelous. I assume that Napoli weren't waiting for such thing to happen also. Because Barcelona had many chances in the first leg too but missed too many also. Maybe they hoped for them to be like that. But it looks like Barcelona have improved their game incredibly much.
Against Napoli, the team performed brilliantly. It was the best performance of the season by far. A perfect game from the very beginning to the very end. Barcelona is transforming into an outstanding team under Xavi. They've been in the wilderness for years but have now returned to normalcy. To succeed in a sport, you need the right players, managers, style of play, and perfect environment. We have Xavi here and he is a player who has an extraordinary vision, as well as a coach.
Surely, it's very big news for Barcelona fans and soccer community now they are back in business under new manager Xavi we can call this perfect match because after some bad time now right man and right players are joining this deadly combination which is going to be more better in next season as right now we are heading for end of this worst season which is now turn in some better before end hopefully after win against Napoli will bring very good and positive impact on all unit which will help them for having more better results in last matches of this season.

Now their next challenge is very spirited Athletic Bilbao who is doing some good in last few games in Barcelona able to defeat them then surely they can take third spot in league table as Betis is also going to face Sevilla which is having tough call both teams and Barcelona going to have some good benefit from this matches result.
532  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor says crypto regulations would speed adoption on: February 25, 2022, 04:53:10 PM
I guess with the incoming crypto regulation in US, this will benefit both. US will take advantage on the trend since crypto has become mainstream, and crypto on its side will also gain more popularity from the people. And i have to agree with OP that once crypto will be regulated, it will build on the minds of the people that crypto is a safe investment and it has nothing to worry about since there is government that comes to regulate it.
Are people afraid of investing in Bitcoin because there is no government regulation, or are they avoiding it because of the volatility? Maybe regulation is helpful, and may have a little impact in helping people adopt Bitcoin, but that is really not the main thing.

For now, I think the case with this has to do with people not understanding Bitcoin, they don’t know how to go about it or maybe they just lack interest in having to do with cryptocurrency, it can also be that they are afraid of how volatile cryptocurrency is, which is they would avoid it. So, it’s not much about regulation, because even if they should regulate it, that volatility still remains and anyone will think twice before going for it.
533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto stuck in sports betting site, now they want KYC on: February 25, 2022, 03:16:33 PM
If the casino site has already mentioned in their terms and conditions then it becomes our fault not to read it.
We simply can't blame the casino because we were too lazy to read the their terms.
On the other hand if their terms and conditions is mentioning something vaguely then we can argue with them over the same.
I think arguing doesn't either help because in the end it was still their casino and you are just a player and I think it is also written in the terms that they can do what they want and if your not going agree with it, you better not continue but you still continue because you did not read everything what is written in the terms.

Reading the terms and condition may seem to be impossible for us but I think there are really people that can dedicate their time just to read every word that is written in the ToS. They just want to make sure that everything is fine before they proceed because they are also gambling with huge amount of money.
534  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is one but has many attributes on: February 25, 2022, 05:31:54 AM
Bitcoin is a digital currency to everyone but, it's not proper to stop there when having a conversion with somebody about bitcoin since they are other characteristics or attributes of bitcoin to discuss. This is where the different perspective creeps in which then varies according to the person's profession or position in life and their other thoughts about bitcoin. However, digital currency is the primary definition.
Yes, there is a lot to Bitcoin. It’s just like when I got to know about Bitcoin newly, I firstly thought that it was just for transactions only, and that was in 2015. I never knew much about it and never knew that it can also be a really good asset to hold.

So, I just bought some bitcoins with plans that I will use them for some transactions later, I never knew how it works because the article I read only described it as a payment method. But later when I noticed how the value kept changing , I had to go further to do more research, and that was when I started to understand the true value of this currency.

If Nepal is also cricket crazy country then why they are not getting some help from India like Afghanistan is getting from Pakistan. Players like Muhammad Shahzad and Muhammad Nabi used to play in Pakistan domestic teams before joining in Afghanistan national squad. Muhammad Shahzad was part of HBL team while Nabi played for Pakistan customs. BCCI should do something to lift cricket standards in Nepal since they are very much dependent on India.
You this statement is completely baseless about Pakistan is helping Afghanistan and India need to help Nepal because there are many differences in these both countries as Afghanistan players are not able to play their home matches so just because of this they were in Pakistan and having domestic leagues now they have no facility like this and Nepal is much better country, and they can develop their domestic set up which will help them and their players for having good experience and money.

BCCI and PCB both are completely opposite in their way as BCCI is completely professional, and they might need changes in their policy to help financially for associate countries to develop cricket.
536  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: New best altcoin on: February 24, 2022, 07:44:21 AM
There is not exactly any new "best" altcoin, only for one reason; because each sector has its own best. Like we have new regular coins, we have new tokens, we have new defi ones, we have new metaverse ones, we have NFT related stuff, we have play to earn stuff and plenty other stuff as well. All of which is a proof that we are talking about something that is rarely there, it is not really about what is best, it is about which one will go longest without interruption.

If a coin I buy makes 10x in 2 years and stays relevant then I am happy, I prefer that over one that makes 1000x in a week and then becomes nearly zero in a month or two. Not many people care about longevity anymore, no idea why but I find that a bit dangerous.
You said each sector has its own best? So that means there is really such thing as new best altcoin but the coin cant have this title for so long because in no time, the coin will become older and there will be a newly created coin can get its title. The best coin are actually the coin that can live for a long time.

There is no best coin that are built only for a short period of time. 10x return is too for 2 years IMO and I think your only wasting your time. A true best coin can already give you a 100x or more return in that long period of time. That's also not true that all people do not care about longevity anymore because if all invest in a quick rich coins, then btc and other top coins wont be in the top.
537  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin War on: February 24, 2022, 05:53:39 AM
Authoritarian governments would very certainly fight to maintain their use of money as a control device.

Do you anticipate a future in which there is a large-scale battle between pro-and anti-Bitcoin nations?

I don't believe that's a very likely scenario, but it's a concept I've had, and I'd want to hear your thoughts on it.
No, because it is not going to happen that bitcoin will rule the world, the government is centralized therefore centralization will stay. The government could ban bitcoin if they want to, of course, we don't want that to happen, so let us not think that bitcoin will be able to defeat fiat or any government as they are so powerful to protect their interest.
BTC to rule the world? I think that's crazy. Btc can be stronger due to adoption and its price can go higher but it does not get to a point that it rules everything. It is still a currency and will remain there and like you said, the government is still more powerful than everything. They can do what they wanted to.

No need for a fight because btc is not looking for a fight but if there are fights that will happen, that fight will only be country vs country and not country vs btc. Fights in the country have other reasons and not because of currencies related matter I believe. War's are not good for all of us including in btc so lets hope everyone will be in peace now.
538  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin likely won't recover until 2025 on: February 24, 2022, 05:06:36 AM
it is given that market of crypto falls after there is a great pump happen (that mostly comes from the effect of Bitcoin halving every 4 years)  i remember the 2017 scenario in which when 2018 comes the price of bitcoin really dumped(but altcoin made its season in early months) and what can we expect this year?
as 2021 made our path really high and majority of us makes its way up as we experienced a great pumping as i myself took at least 200% of my growth.
Most likely it happen because base on history this scenario really happen that's why on next halving we must be prepared for the dump to come. I'm sure those who experience the past halving already know this but for new traders or holders better this will be a learning experience to them since it can help them to create their trading plans if bull market season arrives again.
It happened twice already based on the explanation in the OP where they used two dates, 2016 and 2020 halving so there is a good chance that it will happen again. New entrants are lucky because there are now posts like this where they can use as a reference to know what to expect.

Halving might caused the value to dump if we look on the past dates but the duration is only 1 year and i think for me that was not long. After that, the price can go back again with greater returns. Buying and then holding is for 1 year is worth it. We still have 2 years to the next halving and cryptos can still recover and experience an ATH during this period.
539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 23, 2022, 08:52:52 PM
Napoli are going to be in the biggest trouble next week as their game is going to be against Lazio away. Lazio have been the least losing team in home games so far. They lost only once in twelve games. And actually, Napoli are the same too when it comes to their away games. But it is always more difficult when you are the away team. Napoli newly stumbled against Cagliari and it looks like the second one is on the way. In this way, Milan and Inter can open the gap with them more in the standings.
Yeah, agree with current form Lazio is tough opponent for Napoli even both teams having same points in their last five matches but here Lazio is going to play at home which is the biggest advantage and if they won this match then surely we will have two-way title race in Serie A between AC Milan and inter here inter is having some advantage of one match in hand but suddenly as they are dropping points it's going to be case with them for staying at top.

AC Milan is doing very good after taking 1st position few weeks back but now inter is also going to knock out from Champions League, so this is going to be very entertaining rivalry between these two teams for title with Napoli Juventus and Atlanta are now coming behind for remaining spots.

Liverpool have performed well for their last 6 matches without experience any defeat from any team in this season. With the Massive defeat Liverpool team has achieved so far, show that they are in a good position to take over first position from Manchester city, if they can maintain this new strategies their coach has introduced to them. Leeds team cannot make Liverpool to drop point in their next match because Liverpool have defeated many strong team to get to where they are today in this tournament.

Liverpool are really performing well currently and am really impressed with their performance currently, their coach is really trying, which am really happy with that, I don't really think leeds should be a problem for Liverpool because I believe Liverpool is definitely going to win them, and that will be a step up again, but Liverpool taking over first position from Manchestercity will be a very difficult task, because I believe Manchestercity will definitely want to do everything possible to maintain their first position.
With current form Liverpool is the only team who can challenge Manchester City, and now we have just 2 way title race after very poor performance from Chelsea in last few matches if today Liverpool win then we have 3 points gape between two top ranked teams and this deficit is achievable for Liverpool because they are doing amazing job and have chance of winning two titles in this season one is English Premier League and second is Champions League.

Right now we have three matches in progress with incredible start of Watford vs Crystal palace visitors take very early lead but very quick response from Watford as they are fighting hard for avoiding relegation in this season but looking very tough job for them now after 20 minutes we have 1 - 1 hopefully some more goals coming in this match with other two matches are still with nothing on board for any team.
