We have had really fruitful games so far. South Korea - Ghana was one of them. Ghana started the game really effectively and captured a 2-0 advantage in the first half already. South Korea defense had a really big issue with defending then. They were vulnerable against crosses but the same thing happened to Ghana in the second half. They had a huge problem on defending Cho Gue-Sung on crosses and he scored two great headers thanks to that.

However Kudus was still there to save the team by scoring another goal and making the score 3-2. South Korea still played in a really determined way after this goal and found many opportunities to score. Especially the one they found with Jin-Su Kim was a big waste as it was an absolute goal chance. They still have a chance for next round and they have still made a huge effort so far even if they don't manage to do it.

The South Korea versus Ghana match would have turned out very wrong for South Korea. Eventually, this match ended in a draw. Obviously, that was not the optimal result for South Korea. They wanted to win this match. Now, as far as I know, this has become almost close to impossible for them. It was actually sad to see because they tried really hard to win that match. But eventually, they failed.

In this case I think the best advice is to always be one of the early birds when investing in any projects, nothing beats getting your tokens at a very cheap price and wait for a better pump.

1000x is not something that happens everything so it makes no sense hunting for one, those who invested in Shiba Inu at early stage wasn't expecting that incredible gains, belief me.

It is important to remember that not every new project can grow, in 2021 we will have thousands of projects, and only Shiba will be able to do that. It can be said that there will still be projects that can bring profit x1000 but finding it is not easy. In my opinion now is not the time to start hunting for those hidden gems but we should wait for the signs of bull season to make them easier to find.
543  Economy / Speculation / Re: What are the chances of FTX raising funds... on: November 28, 2022, 04:54:34 PM
According to the latest news, FTX has given up fighting against opinions and facts, so it chose to file for bankruptcy in court, of course this is the best step even though it makes many investors and consumers lose money, an important lesson for exchanges owners not to manipulate data.
Where did you get the latest news from? As FTX exchange gives up or not, they also have to basically solve every problem they are currently facing if they are to still stand as a good exchange in the crypto space. Because without solving all the problems they are facing, FTX will slowly die because there will be no more people who believe in the exchange in the future.

Solving? I think it's all over and what they're doing is buying time to calm things down. The death of FTX will not affect other exchanges, remember what Mt.gox did and people will gradually forget about these incidents. Basically, we can't stop using centralized exchanges, so like it or not, we'll still use exchanges.

I need clarification about your job quitting fact. Also, you did not trade bitcoin. You just invested and waited for the price to go up. I don't see any inspiration here for quitting the job, though bitcoin or crypto changed the lives of many of us but not in your way.

Many here say that you came into bitcoin because you saw profitability, not decentralization or anything, but most people came for that profit, not knowing everything. It takes time to learn about other things about crypto.

I see nothing wrong with the OP leaving his old job in search of a better opportunity and I believe many will do the same.
If bitcoin can bring me a decent amount of money, I will quit my old job and find myself a better new one. I will use the profits earned from bitcoin to open a business or maybe look for other investment channels to diversify my portfolio and increase my income.
545  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or altcoin? on: November 28, 2022, 03:41:21 PM
Bitcoin is the first, the most decentralized, the most valuable and the most stable crypto. If given the chance to only choose one, without a doubt I will go for Bitcoin. But if in case I can choose both then I will buy altcoins too. Counting for short term payoffs, altcoins can do more than Bitcoin. But altcoins are just highly risky too in comparison with Bitcoin who's been tested for several years. Perhaps Ethereum is a completely distinct sort of altcoin that is consistent next to Bitcoin but after they went the POS direction, there is a chance it lose supporters after a while and it will fall down just like Bitcoin Cash and other top ten coins that are nowhere in the top.

So purchase Bitcoin as a long-term investment. It does not have to be big because we can add more in the future. And buy altcoins short term so we may use the profits to buy more Bitcoin.


Likewise, I will choose both, I always keep in mind that we are here to make money, so I will not miss out on any chance if I have the chance to make money. Bitcoin is the best investment but altcoins are not too bad, altcoins are riskier than bitcoin but the return will be more worth it. Diversify your investments for the best returns and minimize risk.
546  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you were the government, how would you fight against bitcoin? on: November 28, 2022, 03:33:56 PM
If I'm the government, I wouldn't fight against Bitcoin since I'm the one who support Bitcoin to become legal tender! of course I will try to increase Bitcoin adoption followed with increasing of seminars, teaching about Bitcoin, force all marketplace to accept Bitcoin etc. It doesn't make any sense to fight against Bitcoin, if you want to combat against money launderers, it's impossible since they can also launder with fiat.

And that's also why all of us here will never be government officials or work in government. If accepting bitcoin, it's like the government is destroying itself because they can't control their own people. Government exists by centralization if you bring decentralization into it the government will disintegrate.

There are some rumours about barcelona's transfer


I read in the local media that Barcelona is discussing with the financial fair play of the Spanyo League. According to the rules, Barcelona will no longer be able to buy new players in the winter market. They have spent 103 million euros.

Indeed, I don't understand this rule very well. But maybe they are looking for an opening to be able to make a transfer. For example, selling several players to reduce player spending. 
The only way Barcelona can bring in new players is by selling some of the players they currently have, Barcelona must cut expenses to avoid fair play rules. Barcelona are still in the process of perfecting their squad, players who rarely have the trust of Xavi will be released in order to bring in new players. Laporta's ambitious project continues, he will try to get quality players to pursue his goals at the end of the season.

Barcelona's squad is now quite strong. A better match strategy and better bonding between players will improve their performance. Xavi may also want to buy more players. And wants to strengthen its defenses. If Barcelona is interested in signing new players, they will have to decide to sell De Jong. Big clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United are interested in signing De Jong. And they are ready to spend a lot of money. Xavi can strengthen the defense by selling De Jong. But without De Jong, Barcelona's midfield will be weakened.
548  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: November 27, 2022, 05:27:27 PM
This January Liverpool has attempts to gets Barcelona player Frenkie de Jong and reported Liverpool have to spend at least 80 millions euro to gets him and Klopp admitted he really want De Jong in Liverpool because Klopp felt De Jong is complete midfielder and he can playing attacking and to defense equally better and in my opinion rather than spend plenty of money to gets Bellingham i think Liverpool should be gets him and i think De Jong can solved midfield sides from Liverpool which is one of their weaknesses this season besides that Liverpool will lost some players such as Chamberlain and Naby Keita this summer moreover he was playing well during world cup so i am confident if Liverpool can able to buy him their performance will quite better
It seems that MU also doesn't want to give in to Liverpool in pursuing de Jong, the news that I got, both MU and Liverpool are ready to pay dearly for De Jong, now all the options are in De Jong's hands, if he still wants to stay at Barcelona then nothing can force it. chamberlain and Keita's performance in recent months has decreased, I don't know if they will both be released by Liverpool because at the end of the season they will be on free transfer status.

I'm not sure if Barcelona will sell De Jong. I think they will try to keep De Jong in the team. Because without De Jong, Barcelona's midfield will be weaker, but De Jong now has several options. Several renowned teams are interested in signing De Jong. But De Jong is loyal to Barcelona. I think we will see De Jong at Barcelona until next season.

How did you manage to count Liverpool as people contending to get the remaining 2 spots but yet you didn't count Chelsea's .
Between Liverpool and Chelsea's who is doing well currently. Who is ahead of each other?
I know it is Chelsea, why then did you count them out as contenders for the league title.
It is certainly difficult for Newcastle to easily come down from the top 4 because those guys know what they doing .
They will disgrace some other big teams when the season resumes.
I think it is Liverpool who is ahead of Chelsea but with not much and just only a point. Its hard for Chelsea and Liverpool to be honest but it very much depend on other teams ahead of them on how much consistent they will be and the chances of them being consistent are very high at this point. Still I wouldn't rule Liverpool and Chelsea out of the title race yet.

Liverpool and Chelsea are 15 and 16 points behind Arsenal respectively. Do you really think it is possible to win the title by reducing this huge gap of 15 points in a competitive league like the Premier League? I don't think so. If Arsenal fails to win the title, Manchester City, Newcastle or Tottenham are likely to win the title. But Liverpool and Chelsea are far behind. It is impossible for them to win the title.

Nantes is a low tier team. I see that if juventus can beat it easily. I will always take juventus in the match against nantes. Seeing a top club from serie a to face a low tier team like nantes makes me believe if juventus can win with so many scores against nantes. I don't wanna underrated nantes but the truth has been saying the fact if nantes was nothing compared with juventus in term of statistic of something else. Nantes will be stopped by juventus in the europa league and juventus will able to pass nantes without any problem.
I agree with your assessment (except that Juventus will definitely win - underdogs sometimes win). Now in Ligue 1 there is one top club - PSG and all the rest. Among the rest there are good teams but they are not comparable to the tops of Serie A and Juventus despite its problems are still top. But as I wrote above, underdogs sometimes win, and especially in elimination games, as it requires a little bit of luck for just two games.
PSG has always been and is the best in Ligue 1. The best club in Ligue 1 is PSG. PSG have the most expensive attacking unit, capable of breaking through any big defense and scoring goals. I am sure that PSG will win the Ligue 1 title again this time.

If no accident happens then PSG will win the Ligue 1 title this time. They are 5 points ahead of second-placed Lens. and 10 points ahead of third-placed Rennes. And PSG is unbeaten in 15 matches. They have one of the best attacks in the world. And they are able to score a lot of goals. So now PSG is more interested in the Champions League title than Ligue 1.

As i told, it looks like Morocco has done the miracle. Morocco won the match 2 - 0 against giant Belgium. This is another upset we have witnessed today. This is a sensational finish and Morocco will celebrate this win for a long long time. Belgium may now have to beat Croatia in order to move ahead to the round of 16.
Anyone who took the bet on them must be enjoying the returns.  Smiley
I don't think it's a miracle. Belgium was lucky in match vs Canada and Morocco looked pretty good in match vs Croatia. if Canada wins today in match vs Croatia it also won't be a surprise  Wink
In the 68th second of the match between Canada and Croatia, Canada scores. Wow, that was the quickest goal i have seen in any fifa world cup match.
Anyway, it's just a start and Croatia has almost full 90 mins to score and level back the match. However, I would like to see if Canada moves to defensive mode after getting a quick lead.

Croatia vs Canada match has been more exciting. Croatia is leading 2-1 in the first half. Canada played very well against Belgium in the first match. But unfortunately, they lost 1-0. In today's match, Canada went ahead with a goal in just 2 minutes. But Croatia scored two goals in the 36th minute and 44th minute to take a 2-1 lead in the first half. Hopefully in the second half, both teams will speed up their attack. And maybe we'll see a few more goals in the second half.
552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 27, 2022, 04:36:17 PM
I commented on this in my post a long time ago that Union Berlin will not manage to be among the 4 places and even among the 6 places it will be an almost impossible task, they were lucky to be at the top because the big teams we are used to see at the top were weak and with mediocre performance, but these strong teams have already recovered and are already taking their place as usual, and Union Berlin for some reason that I don't know they are dropping a lot of performance, we'll see from January how they will do play
I'm not sure about the top 6 as the bookies rate Union Berlin as the favorite in this fight, but I agree about the top 4. There is very little chance that they will be able to get there. And in general this is good because Union Berlin is hardly ready to play in the Champions League at a good level and if they get there they will simply be destroyed and will not earn points for the Bundesliga.
Is their achievement at the start of the season by occupying the top of the standings a fortune? Because at that time Bayern Munich was not at its best. And after Bayern Munich had his best game they could easily overtake the place occupied by Union Berlin. You are right that Union Berlin is not ready to play in the Champions League, because the level there is more difficult than the Bundeslliga.

The way Union Berlin started the season, everyone thought Berlin would fight for the Bundesliga title this season. But they are far behind now. Indeed, as in previous seasons, we see Bayern Munich at the top of the table. And other teams are just fighting to qualify for the Champions League. It is certain that Bayern Munich will win the title this season. Munich's points gap with the other teams will gradually increase.
553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: November 27, 2022, 04:28:17 PM
THE regular trend for the T20I men is going be great after the end of December we are going to have well-known tournaments as PSL and IPL I am not sure for the IPL but PSL next season is going to be alive again in end of jan or starting week of the feb.
In the T20, men's cricket are generally more exciting than the women's. Women's Big Bass League ends today. As we are very close to the end of the year, the franchise leagues are about to start again. We can enjoy the games of Pakistan's PSL, Bangladesh's BPL, Australia's Big Bass and India's IPL. First of these games we will see the Australia's Big Bass. This League is going to start from 13 December to 04 February.
I don't know it should be used to discuss over here or not but let me tell you one thing similar to this topic as in recent world cup PAK vs IND or in Asia cup i am not sure but it was the match between PAK and IND and i was watching on a local app Dara yhere was audience 20M+ and after some days i was watching Women's T20I match and audience was 500. Just calculate the difference between both of the matches audience.
This is true and the gender based following needs to change. On an average Women's team too makes score around 150 runs. So women's cricket scoring too is good and slowly this difference needs to be taken off from cricket. The days in which women's were into similar pay slab as men we can experience the change.

We can never consider women's and men's cricket equal. Men's cricket has a huge following. They have a huge fan base. Cricket Boards mainly earn money from sponsors and TV rights. Women's cricket does not get as many sponsors as men's cricket because of its smaller audience. So why should cricket boards spend the same amount of money on women's cricket as men? If the boards earn more money from women's cricket then surely they will increase the perks and salaries.

In the past, Manchester United were also interested in signing De Jong. However, as of right now, I am unsure if it would be a worthwhile idea for Manchester United to go after this player. As of right now, Manchester United are in need of a striker. It is my opinion that they should look for a striker first before moving on to other players. Once a striker has been confirmed, they will have the option to look for a midfielder.
As far as I know, they are also in need of a midfielder at the moment. However, probably not as much as a striker would. Franki de Jong is still being considered as a possible acquisition by the team, which I think is great.
United need striker, midfielder, new owner and soon a new head coach  Grin
If Barcelona can find the money to pay off De Jong's debts (or enter bankruptcy proceedings in the summer), then perhaps De Jong will consider United as an option to move. But I have a suspicion that due to the successful performance of the Spanish team in the World Cup, his "shares" may rise a lot and United will be too small a club for his ambitions.

As far as I understand the situation is like this. Franki de Jong does not want to go to Manchester United. He wants to stay in Barcelona but Barcelona wants him to live. And Manchester United wants to bring him into the team badly. But I don’t think it is going to be a good idea for him to go to Manchester United right now.

Manchester United needs a striker first. They have enough midfielders in the team. And it is true that he is not going to achieve his ambitions at Manchester United, at least not right now.

A month ago when Twitter official belonged to Elon Musk a lot of speculation about Doge, and I also invest around $ 350 when the price was around 11 cents, now the price is only 7 cents and makes me lose around 45%, Hold is the best option.

Doge is a good investment, I believe Elon will make doge even higher in the future but be careful not to buy in Fomo, you will become liquid for them. Please wait patiently until there is a good price zone to buy. No matter how good a coin is, if you don't choose the right time to buy it, it is no longer a good coin.

The Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity and Futures Trading Commission are all looking at the case, so I'm pretty optimistic it will be positive for BTC. More regulations are coming to exchanges, and that will be make the crypto world safer for the average guy.

It's all good. Except for Sam Bankman-Fried who should start to feel the heat.
You're mistaken, not only will there be regulation for centralized exchanges but it will be regulation for all crypto industries. It couldn't be more fitting for this rationale for the government to have the opportunity to intervene in crypto as it is now. Having regulation will help us avoid scams but with regulation, they will no longer be called decentralized.

Childbearing is the need as well as the responsibility of each person in maintaining the race, but we should have a plan that suits the family situation. The world cannot be without children, they are the future of the world. You yourself were once a child born to your parents. If you can't raise them, don't give birth to them, having given birth to them, you must be responsible for them like your parents raised you.

when a business has done something criminal. CEO dont always go to jail

did HSBC ceo go to jail for money laundering
did JPMorgan ceo go to jail for money laundering

it could be a buffet/enron thing.. = criminal charges against CEO
it could be a HSBC/JPM thing..= business fine at probably an amount equal to X days business profit

I'm sure he will never go to jail no matter how many people want or sue. FTX just filed for bankruptcy meaning they are not officially bankrupt and they are still operating but he resigned last week. He no longer has a relationship with FTX. Not only will he not have to go to jail, but he could join or open another company in the future if he resigns early.
559  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When will Sam Bankman-Fried go to jail? on: November 24, 2022, 09:54:45 PM
Do you remember Dokwon? and now he is still sunbathing on some luxurious beach with investor's money. Then there is no reason because SBF will go to jail, cryptocurrency has no government protection, when we participate in investment, we will be responsible for our own decision.

Yeah, That guys is legendary, Actually this is the perks on doing a heist on crypto since you can store your assets on wallet that doesn’t reveal your ownership. Do Kwon probably might face jail time if the many people affected is living on same country to him. There’s no one pursuing the case besides the authorities who’s doing there own investigation. Without a complaints, this jerk will be free forever.

Same with Sam, there’s no evidence that he steal money since all the allegations has no clear proof and democrats is involved which means he is safe until a republicans will sit on the white house. Only bankruptcy is the only thing we can expect as the outcome on this drama and no jail time same as Do Kwon.

The issue here is not whether we have enough evidence but as I said, cryptocurrencies are not regulated and participation in crypto is not protected by the government. The only possibility that SBF goes to jail is that, he cannot compensate US investors because FTX is registered there, investors paying full taxes means they will be protected by law. As for investors in the world without protection, they should be responsible for their own losses. That is the difference between regulated and unregulated in the market.
560  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum drop gets me worried. on: November 24, 2022, 09:46:57 PM
The price drop not only happened to ETH, but almost all cryptocurrencies including bitcoin, of course this is the impact of the market dropping due to the FTX case and exchange wars, but I'm sure ETH will recover soon, and the right opportunity to buy ETH because now the price is on the floor .
ETH only recovers when bitcoin recovers and I also believe that eth is the best investment besides bitcoin. ETH is currently being dumped on the market by FTX hackers. Obviously, this is a good opportunity to buy ETH, and I believe it won't get a second chance.

Just like your statement, I also plan to buy some more eth in this current situation.  Because eth is an investment instrument both long term and short term.  So why have doubts about this coin?
I recommend focusing on the long term instead of the short term, ETH like bitcoin is suitable for the long term and always grows well in the long term. You should buy now instead of planning, if you are waiting for a lower then beware as we may be at the bottom and the price could bounce at any moment. Just looking at the ATH we can see that this price is too cheap to buy.
