Sri Lanka vs New Zealand match will decide the 4th semi-finalist of this World Cup.
Sri Lanka is playing their match with Bangladesh today. After winning the toss, the Bangladesh team has put Srilanka into the bat. So far Srilanka is playing nicely and they have made 58 runs in 10 overs with the loss of only 1 wicket. Kusal Perera was out on 4 runs but after that, Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis are making scores at a reasonable rate as they will want a 100 or more runs partnership. Teams batting first should eye on 300+ runs or even more depending upon the wicket. Anything less than that is easily chaseable. Shoriful Islam for one wicket from Bangladesh and still a lot is left to be played in this match. Bangladesh will want to win this match and will have a total of 4 points, their last match is with Australia and it won't be easy to win from them. Sri Lanka did not start their innings well. They lost the crucial wicket of Kusal Perera in the first over. Mushfiqur took a brilliant catch. Still Nissanka and Kusal Mendis were able to build a good partnership. Mendis and Nissanka built a partnership of 61 runs. Mendis was dismissed by Shakib and in the next over, Pathum Nissanka was dismissed by Tanzim Sakib and returned to the dressing room. Sri Lanka lost their third batsman for 72 runs. And right now the Sri Lankan batsmen are under pressure. If the bowlers of Bangladesh can do well now then the match will be completely under the control of Bangladesh. |

i agree totally with what you said, due to the recent re- occurring activities that has happened in the crypto space, most people are afraid of investing their money in crypto currency, as i do tell people don't invest in something you don't understand, i always say study, learn, network with people that are doing well, pay for their class and learn, i don't force anyone to learn BITCOIN, when they see proof in your, they'll beg you to teach them.
Many people are afraid to invest on bitcoin because it is new to them so they need proper orientation or education on bitcoin for them. Others are afraid because if scammers. Yes it is not by force but people want to learn and no more but no one to teach and show them the road. I have met several people and I explained bitcoin to and most of them complaining that nobody has told them what I explained to them and that is why they have not invested in it. Bitcoin orientation or education is needed in the communities. Many people are out there to learn but non to teach them. So we should tell the important of bitcoin and the risk involved so that they will be aware. Like today I was tell a lady about bitcoin and she was interested to invest. She took my mobile number so that she can learn and invest in it. I think that's just their reason, if they are really interested in bitcoin, really want to find solutions to improve their finances, they can learn everything themselves without anyone teaching them. Where did you learn about bitcoin and did anyone teach you in the early days? As for me, I research everything myself and learn from google, youtube and forums...no one teaches me, tells me about bitcoin or what I need to do...We are in an era where all information and knowledge can be easily found on the internet as long as we work hard. Don't give them a reason that just because no one taught them, they can't invest in bitcoin. Well you are actually right, i also like the quote of "do your own research" because it's up to you and its your responsible for every decision you make, plus the fact that you could search everything in the internet nowadays. But we can't totally trust the internet nowadays now that Bitcoin existence for a long time, for sure there's a lot of false information, scams, hackers and etc. That you would have to face, even cents bad people won't hesitate to steal it from you. It's normal to feel scared in something you lack knowledge with, especially when it's money involved that we were talking about. They just need to find a reliable sources that they can trust or use, for example here in the forum, you could search existing thread from years that can still help these days. Still they need to do this on their own and experience it on their own, because it's up to their calls wether they profit or not. I know that self-study will be very difficult and I will encounter the problems you mentioned in the process of learning everything about bitcoin. But I think those are the experiences we should go through if we really want to develop and make money in this market. If we don't dare to face even those things, how can we survive long in this market? Nothing is easy and neither is this market, the more we collide and fall, the more mature we become. I've also been cheated and failed many times, but I consider it a lesson and experience and don't see anything to be sad about. Without those lessons, I would not be able to achieve the achievements I have today. |

I was checking Twitter and came across tweet that mentioned India was dominant in prior world cup's group stages too (2015, 2019) however, in knock-out stages they choked. Let's see what happens this time around.
This Indian team is playing exceptional cricket. All of their players are performing and stepping up for their team at crucial moments. I think you can compare this Indian team with the peak Australian team under Ponting's captaincy. Can they achieve similar results is yet to be seen. They have proved that they are the most deserving team to win this World Cup. They did chock in the past, but things might change this time. Virat Kohli is peaking at the right time for them and is their go-to player. He will be the key if they want to win this World Cup. Even before the World Cup, India's performance was somewhat erratic. Even though they were the champions of the Asia Cup, they lost against Bangladesh. India also lost an ODI series against Bangladesh. But from the first match of the World Cup, suddenly every Indian batsman returned to form. If Gill doesn't perform well, we have seen better batting from Rohit and Kohli. If Rohit doesn't do well, we get better batting from Gill. If Kohli can't do well, we have seen KL Rahul batting brilliantly. The important thing is that the team is not dependent on any single player. This is why India is performing well in every match and is able to win. And if they are not very unlucky, the World Cup will be in India this time. |

People will often be pessimistic when they see the market fall more, but then they will become optimistic if the market rises again, which is quite normal because this is the general psychology of most investors. Only more meticulous people are always careful in everything, especially sudden price increases during the bear season.
Indeed, nothing is certain in this market, bitcoin can increase 22% in a week, then with just one news it can also decrease 22% in a day. Many people always give resistance based on technical analysis, they are not wrong but there is no guarantee that there will be no surprises.
This happens because they don't really understand the journey of bitcoin, which makes them pessimistic when the price of bitcoin is in a prolonged correction. We have been in this cycle repeatedly and perhaps we have seen many things about how the market reaction can bring Bitcoin to a sharp decline and can also bring Bitcoin to an erratic rise beyond the expected cycle. This is what some pessimistic people don't have because they only think about quick profits and don't see the process of the journey. The percentage increase is always uncertain and that is why bitcoin is considered quite volatile and if people do not have a good understanding then the price fluctuations can provide opportunities for them to make losses. For example, this week and we also saw a quite significant price increase even though there was a small correction in the process, that is the journey of bitcoin and it will always repeat itself as there are cycles that we often talk about. What I'm talking about are short and medium term observations, I don't mean long term. For example, in October when the price of bitcoin dropped, everyone thought that the October bull run did not go as predicted, and there would be no UPTOBER as history has shown us. But then at the end of October, we had a spectacular growth and people changed their opinion about bitcoin again, people became more optimistic. It can be said that people's psychology is changing with the movement of bitcoin. What you're talking about is long term and I think everyone understands that. In the long run, if we zoom out on the bitcoin chart, we see bitcoin will only increase and increase. |

Fiorentina can actually be quite a troublesome opponent. But I saw the fact that Lazio was able to beat Fiorentina in last week's match. So I think Juventus will be able to do it. But in this match Fiorentina will be the host. But I remain optimistic that Juventus will win. Because Empoli was also able to beat Fiorentina when the match was held at Fiorentina's home. So statistically Juventus should also be able to do it. Although we must remember that the results of football matches are sometimes always surprising.
I believe Massimiliano Allegri will not waste the points they can get to get closer to Inter Milan and climb to the top of the standings.
Fiorentina will make it quite difficult for Juventus. although playing at home will not guarantee that Fiorentina can dominate. Fiorentina sometimes doesn't play consistently even when playing at home. like when facing Empoli where Fiorentina had to accept a 0-2 defeat. We don't know the result, but Juve are quite confident in this match. Moreover, they also got a narrow victory when facing strong opponents like Milan. If there are no problems with the squad that will be fielded later, I think Juve will have a better chance of winning. For their past six meetings, Fiorentina have only defeated Juventus once and secured a draw with Juventus winning the rest. This shows that Juventus have a good record against the La Viola. Another factor that will tilt the match in favour of Juventus is the fact that Fiorentina have a Europa League match against the Serbia side Cukaricki Belgrade; this might make them reserve their key players or play conservatively in preparation for the match next week Thursday. Juventus have not find it easy scoring goals this season, probably they need to work more on their attacking if they must have a chance at the Seria A title this season. sixteen goals from ten matches is a poor performance from a top side, although they have only conceded six goals this season which is also a good one from them. Juventus has definitely found it hard to score goals in this season. But at the same time, Florentina has also found it hard to defend goals in this season as well. So it is going to be a very interesting competition between them. I have confidence about the defense of Juventus because they have not conceded too many goals. So that is definitely a plus point. So if we look at that, we have to say Juventus seems to be the team going into this match with a lot of confidence. Juventus has also been pretty consistent recently. So I think we can trust them to win this match. |

The rate of poverty across the globe is becoming worrisome. Many people are continually crossing below the poverty line to the state of depression. I was heartbroken seeing the number of people struggling to enter the US as shared by Elon Musk in X. Weather we choose to believe it or not, there is an impending global problem that if concerted effort is not put at addressing, there will be chaos. Is there anyway Bitcoin can assist in addressing this? I know many will think investment in Bitcoin is reserved exclusively for the rich or those who are comfortable; the lower class can actually buy as little as $10 per week. Majority of these immigrants are farmers that the quest for greener pastures pushed into these journeys. They can actually start small and build from there. Same goes for many people across the globe. Bitcoin offers unique opportunities for people who want to make decent amount of money and I have the feeling that if these people start investing in Bitcoin, we will see a rapid decline in global poverty. What do you think? I think it's not as simple as that. Buying bitcoin as an investment is a good thing but it shouldn't be the only investment in our portfolio. Whether it be rich or poor, everyone should diversify their portfolio to balance the risks. Bitcoin is a volatile asset and it can be one of the aggressive risk asset in our portfolio. It can surely help us from preventing being poort but we should be aware of the risks. I think for poor people, they do not need to diversify their investment portfolio but should only focus on bitcoin. If someone is poor but has enough money to invest and that is the amount of money they can lose, they should accept risks to be able to achieve greater success, creating a turning point in life. Instead of being careful little by little and making poverty last longer. Rich people are also people who step out of their comfort zone to do things that others don't dare to do and achieve things that others don't have. Success requires trade-offs. And the bitcoin opportunity is a rare opportunity and not many such opportunities will come our way, if we don't take full advantage of that, it will be a bigger pity. Yes, it is a brave idea to suggest that the impoverished should invest all of their meager resources in a single asset like Bitcoin. Theres a case to be made for the fact that cryptocurrency volatility can result in substantial profits and materially improve one's financial situation. But the opposite is also likely, as there is a chance that the risk will exacerbate their financial conflict. Should we not consider whether this approach could exacerbate the poverty cycle instead of breaking it? Clearly, a lot of wealthy people have raised their socioeconomic level by taking calculated risks. The widespread belief that Bitcoin represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity should be questioned, as not everyone will experience this. Making financial decisions requires careful consideration of their wider ramifications and possible outcomes, particularly when there is significant risk involved. That's why I say, they need to use the money they can afford to lose, and like I said to be successful, we need to take risks out and out of our comfort zone. We should not think too much, do not let fear delay our plans. If we are always afraid and want to be safe, success and wealth will come more slowly, maybe even never come. Opportunities are always hidden behind risks and we need to accept risks to be able to find our opportunities. As for me, I am willing to trade to seize this unique opportunity. If we ignore bitcoin out of fear, do you think another opportunity will come our way? |

If we talk about security, I agree that bitcoin is the safest asset to date because it cannot be hacked and bitcoin owners will have full ownership and management of their assets. But talking about safety, we need to evaluate many other factors and clearly bitcoin cannot be a safe haven like gold.
I think if it's about safety, we need to deal it ourselves. Like it lies within our hands and activities on how it is going to remain safe, how we're going to be safe. There is no doubt that Bitcoin per se is safe. Of course, the safety of bitcoins depends entirely on how we store them. But bitcoin clearly offers a better solution than most other traditional assets in that we have full control over our assets, no one can interfere with or take over our bitcoins. Meanwhile, gold or real estate can still be suddenly confiscated by the government. As for whether bitcoin is actually a good inflation hedge, I think it doesn't really do a good job of it yet. If you consider it a good inflation hedge, why wouldn't you consider it a safe haven?
It's okay if you and the others doesn't think that Bitcoin isn't a safe haven for them. But talking with the people that have invested early and are in profits now. All they will say are the same things and that is Bitcoin is a safe haven, a safe asset and a profitable one. So what about those who invested when bitcoin was priced at $69K? I know they haven't sold yet, meaning they haven't lost money yet, but is a temporary loss of 1/2 of the asset's value a safe haven? That's why I view bitcoin as an investment, not a safe haven. |

Manchester United won by a big margin against Newcastle. I didn't say anything about Manchester United and Newcastle match beforehand and I thought that since these two teams are almost equal performing teams in the English Premier League, it might be a tough competition between these two teams. We expected a tough contest but it was not as tough on the pitch as Manchester United suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat against Newcastle.
This season Manchester United can not stand up Newcastle united, even before the match I wasn't expecting any tough game between the two teams and I wasn't surprised either when I so them defeated, currently the Newcastle united are far stronger than Manchester United even though they share few things in common like having the same wins in Premier league but still Manchester United are lift behind and see the top four place as a huge achievement. The game you can consider as a tough match is Newcastle united vs Arsenal this week, for them to think of winning they have to put more effort almost x10 of their performance against Manchester United to be able to defeat Arsenal. I was just surprised when Manchester Unted really couldn't score, in that home match in the EFL Cup. Even indeed, at least Newcastle have a good chance to win but at least, I think even if Newcastle win, but Manchester United also should have a chance to be able tohave a goal in that match . Also, the worse thing is, Manchester United lost with a bigscore of 0-3 . But ya, regarding Newcastle it seems to be interesting, because in the previous match Newcastle managed towin with abig score 0-3 against Manchester United in the EFL Cup. But, in the nextmatch Newcastle will play at home against Arsenal inthe Premier League. With such a schedule, then if for example Newcastle managed not to lose against Arsenal, then of course Newcastle will have a good chance as well as possible to be able to compete in the top five again over time. The performance of Newcastle United has probably not been very far ahead compared to Manchester United. But we can say that the performance has definitely been better. But when we saw the last match, we had to say that there was something wrong with Manchester United. They definitely shouldn't have lost such badly. They could have had a better performance against Newcastle United. But we all know that the coach is making some dumb decisions. Manchester United should bring some other coach really quickly. Otherwise, they are going to go down through the table. They are already not in a very respectable position, to be honest. |

One huge factor that's significantly improved the value of football in Saudi Arabia is the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo joined their league during in the January transfer window. Before he joined them, the Saudi League was rarely heard from people outside the country but since his arrival in the country, the league has significantly gained global audience which was one of the reasons why other big European based players later joined the league to further improve the quality of football in the country.
Saudi Arabia was recently awarded the right to host the 2034 World Cup by football world governing body FIFA and I think Ronaldo deserves praises for his impact to football in the middle East nation
The Saudi Professional League is a more important team in the media, but I don't know whether the audience in general increased or the number of viewers. I never watch a whole game from the league, but I read about it sometimes to stay up to date about what is happening with Ronaldo, Neymar, Benzema and some others, but I would never pay for a subscription or anything to watch the games live. I agree that awareness has been raised due to Ronaldo's arrival there, but are more people watching the games than before? Probably a few, but I doubt that the numbers skyrocketed. It cannot be denied that the Arab Saudi League is in the world media spotlight because of the arrival of top European club players, such as Ronaldo and Neymar. It is true, these soccer stars from top European clubs have a huge influence in the world of soccer. So it is not surprising that the name of the Saudi Arabian football league is increasingly popular in the world media because it is able to bring in many great players from top European clubs. But even so, after the excitement about the Saudi Arabian League transfer market news that occurred in the last few months. It turns out that what I read on one of the news sites was that the interest of football fans in Saudi Arabia did not experience a big increase when clubs from Saudi Arabia succeeded in bringing in many football stars from Europe. In essence, not many football fans in Saudi Arabia come to the field to watch the match live. Reported by the Mirror, at the weekend only around 696 supporters watched Steven Gerrard's Al-Ettifaq when they lost 1-0 at Al-Riyadh. Source: https://disway.id/amp/736571/kritikan-terbesar-meski-datangkan-cristiano-ronaldo-liga-pro-arab-saudi-sepi-penontonMaybe this is all because the revolution carried out by Saudi Arabian clubs is still new. So football fans in Saudi Arabia have not been able to enjoy it properly. Cristiano Ronaldo alone has made the Saudi league really popular. I am going to be honest. I did not even know that the Saudi league was actually a decent one before Cristiano Ronaldo actually went there. I bet a lot of people didn't even know that the Saudi League existed before Cristiano Ronaldo. Anyway, the Ronaldo effect is definitely real. I am also sure that in the time that Cristiano Ronaldo has left in his career, he will be able to impact the popularity of the Saudi League more. And yes, I also think young players will start coming to the Saudi league in the Future. But that is a long-term plan. |

I don't think Serie A is ever boring. There seems to be interesting matches every day. Bologna and Lazio, Atalanta and Inter, Fiorentina and Juventus. Fiorentina against Juventus will probably be a very interesting game. Fiorentina are playing no worse than Juventus right now.
Apart from Fiorentina against Juventus which might be an interesting match this weekend, I think the match for Atalanta and Inter Milan could also be a very interesting match to watch because currently Atalanta is also quite good which is even better than the Fiorentina team. So some people might be more interested in this match because the playing schedule is earlier than the Fiorentina vs Juventus match. So the fiercer the competition for points in the Serie A standings this season will clearly be, the more interesting the league will be and far from boring. Basically, Atalanta is always part of the competition for the top six every season in the Serie A standings. So yes, because this weekend Atalanta will play against Inter, it is clear that this match will be a big match for this week too. But indeed, apart from this match, of course the match between Fiorentina against Juventus is also a big match at this moment, because Fiorentina is experiencing an increase in performance this season. But, Inter and Juventus will play away and considering that Inter and Juventus still very need with three points, then of course their match this weekend will be very interesting because they are still very ambitious of course to get winning. Inter Milan vs Atalanta is likely to be a competitive match. Atalanta are in good form. Now the team is fourth in the points table. And so beating Atalanta is not an easy task for Inter Milan. However, Inter Milan's past record against Atalanta is very good. Inter Milan have won three of their last five matches against Atalanta and drawn two matches. Inter Milan did not lose a single match. It is expected that Inter Milan will maintain continuity in the next match as well. It will be difficult for Juventus to win the away match against Fiorentina. Juventus failed to win their last two away matches against Fiorentina. But Fiorentina are a bit off form right now. The team has lost in the last two matches. So Juventus will be the favorite in this match. I actually don’t know why people say that this league is not interesting. Because in this season, the league has been very interesting. Especially because the performance of almost all the teams has actually improved. The point difference between all the teams is very minimal. That’s something I really like to see. This gives an indication that the competition between the teams is going to be very hard most probably till the end of the season. In recent times we can also see that almost every time. One team always stays ahead of the competition by a huge margin. It don’t see that happening this time. |

As far as I know, safe haven means that the asset not only needs to meet profits but its safety needs to be guaranteed and in this case only gold can meet that requirement. With thousands of years of existence and recognition around the world, along with stability in value, gold is truly a safe haven. As for bitcoin, the asset that brings the highest profit but also has the highest risk, it does not meet the safety level. People just looking at its profitability and assuming it is a safe haven are incorrect, making that claim just because we are showing bias towards bitcoin. I think bitcoin has the best level of security ever seen in a financial system. Bitcoin can never be hacked, but in many cases of hacking it is the fault of the users. Mistakes in using or practicing security methods make users lose their bitcoins regardless of whether they are stolen or due to other reasons such as losing access to the wallet. I believe bitcoin is one of the safest assets ever, but it depends on how users secure it. Maybe you are right, bitcoin is not a safe haven but bitcoin deserves to be considered as a risky hedge. Not much different from gold, Bitcoin is believed to have good advantages as a hedge during inflation, although its price volatility can make the asset's value fluctuate. If we talk about security, I agree that bitcoin is the safest asset to date because it cannot be hacked and bitcoin owners will have full ownership and management of their assets. But talking about safety, we need to evaluate many other factors and clearly bitcoin cannot be a safe haven like gold. As for whether bitcoin is actually a good inflation hedge, I think it doesn't really do a good job of it yet. If you consider it a good inflation hedge, why wouldn't you consider it a safe haven? |

In the grand scheme of things, Bitcoin has hit the ground running for the next bull market and I believe that we are not going back from here. The momentum that we need to get the price back up to its previous ATH is gradually coming back and we have started to see Bitcoin increase in its volatility than what we had it few months back with little stability in the price. I'm more bullish than I have been in months back.
Nothing is certain mate, Crypto market is much as vulnerable to any issues the world has facing and will be facing , the volatility keeps allowing the prices to move up and down in no time , we have seen so much from the past and still seeing many in our day now so please never assume that something good staying in same level. while we have a good run in the past week but we also knew this may change overnight , try not to expect so much because you may end crying in the next , be ready and keep your heads up, invest more if you can add some funds to risk, also expect sideways because it may happen(but i doubt will in the next couple of months) ATH is recorded 2 years ago , so it may come next year on the next to it, but what ever happened I believe that this is just another way for us to trust more and invest more,Positive thinking is what we need now. People will often be pessimistic when they see the market fall more, but then they will become optimistic if the market rises again, which is quite normal because this is the general psychology of most investors. Only more meticulous people are always careful in everything, especially sudden price increases during the bear season. Indeed, nothing is certain in this market, bitcoin can increase 22% in a week, then with just one news it can also decrease 22% in a day. Many people always give resistance based on technical analysis, they are not wrong but there is no guarantee that there will be no surprises. |

Lmao. I knew 358 was way too high for the Lankans considering the fact that India has the best bowling attack among all teams in this tournament. For some reason, Siraj performs extremely well against the Lankans.
16/6 is absolutely insane and embarrassing. India will go back to the top of the table in style with a huge NRR boost.
I am not sure whether they will be able to overtake South Africa in NRR. At this point, Proteas have +2.290, while India is at +1.405. Even if India win by 300+ runs, there is a chance that their NRR may stay below that of South Africa. Anyway, India will be having 7 wins from 7 matches, while South Africa lost the match against Netherlands. And next match for both the teams is going to be at Eden Gardens, where they will face each other. If anyone is going to beat India in this world cup, it is going to be South Africa. This match is going to be epic. This might actually end up paying the lowest total by any team in the World Cup. Sri Lanka has already lost eight wickets for only 38 runs. there is no way they are going to even get close to the target that is given by India. There is also no way that Sri Lanka is even going to achieve 200 in this match. Even 100 seems to be miles away. they had lost six wickets for only 14 runs. And of course, I also knew that this target was most probably not going to be achieved by Sri Lanka. But I didn't think they would fail this miserably. |

Considering the world global economy, war will cause alot of misplaced priorities and businesses will be seriously affected in regions where war is prevalent, their will be instability of the people and the economy as well in such location will be seriously affected, war will cost loss of life and properties and the ones that will be majorly affected are the young ones and the innocent souls at the cause.
If we take a look at what is happening in Ukraine now, we are going to see that billions of dollars had been lost since the beginning of the war and if care is not taken to end the war, things might escalate more making more properties to be lost and life expectancy might reduce because of the Chemicals and destructions that had been caused as a result of the war. Many people had lost there businesses and properties making them to start afresh again in another region. War can be very devastating and can cause serious havoc if it is not resolved as quick as possible. This is not limited to only Russia and Ukraine crisis, we can consider Israel as well, Hamas is another consideration and many more other examples of the past and present that alot of people had suffered losses, are we to consider the Afghanistan war, Vietnam war and many more others to point at, war is not what we can pray to witness or have an exoer of because everyone will be affected seriously or those so dear and close to us. War seriously affects us, our loved ones, the honest citizens of countries at war. But it is benefiting some authoritarian organizations and empires in the world. They are arms dealers, people who crave power and are willing to sacrifice the lives of others for their own pleasure or consider the deaths of innocent people as a place for them to do business. Those people will never care about the consequences of war on others, they only care about their own pockets and the profits they gain. We, the people, will not be able to do anything to stop the war, the only thing we can do is pray for the bloodlust of politicians to end soon. |

... I can not disagree that Bitcoin Spot ETF is important but Bitcoin will still grow up without Bitcoin Spot ETF. This is of course, because in 15 years of existence and development, bitcoin did not need any ETF and it could also increase from $0.10 to $69 thousand. So, even without ETF approval, bitcoin will continue to grow and become more popular. At the end of the day, an ETF doesn't really do anything for bitcoin as it just makes bitcoin more centralized, but it will have a positive impact on investor sentiment. This can help bitcoin value grow better and we can make better profits. |

De Kock is consistently scoring centuries, and he's just hit his 4th hundred in this World Cup. He's been the standout player of the tournament. What a fantastic way to say farewell to your last World Cup. He's having a dream run in his final ODI tournament and is heading into retirement with a bang. South Africa has already crossed 300 runs in the 46th over. Dussen and Miller are at the crease, hitting the ball to all around of the field.
This innings against South Africa is one of the best innings he played even though he scored 3 other centuries in this world Cup as the wicket was not that easy to bat initially and Quinton de Kock played an incredible innings and batting first South Africa always score runs. It will be a difficult chase for New Zealand and they need to built partnerships and take the match close without loosing much wickets to pose any challenge as they already lost 2 wickets. New Zealand have already lost three of their wickets. And I would say this match is impossible for New Zealand to win at the moment. South Africa set a huge target of 358 runs. Batting well in the second innings is a bit difficult on this pitch. Still, the target is huge. If the top order could have done well, New Zealand would have won the match. I also thought the match might be competitive. But the South African bowlers are bowling very well. At the end of 12 overs, New Zealand collected 57 runs after defeating three batsmen of the top order. They need 301 runs in 38 overs. New Zealand's batsmen have to collect an average of 8 runs per over. New Zealand stumbled at the beginning of the innings. They lost their first wicket for just 8 runs. However, the team lost the wicket of Rachin Ravindra for 45 runs and the wicket of Will Young for 56 runs. New Zealand lost three top order batsmen within 11 overs. And now their batting is very slow. New Zealand collected only 67 runs in 15 overs. But I would say New Zealand still has a chance of winning if they don't lose wickets. New Zealand's middle order is also quite strong. At the end of 15 overs, South Africa's collection was 61 runs with the loss of 1 wicket. If Daryl Mitchell and Tom Latham both score centuries, the match might become a competitive one. |

To be honest, I bet on Marseille to win this match but what happened was, Marseille fans were really stupid . Because after all, the reality is that at this moment Lyon is also in a situation and condition that is destroyed and of course, with the bad conditions that Lyon is experiencing at this moment can be a great opportunity for Marseille to win with a big score. So ya, with a bad incident like this, I hope Marseille will get a heavy punishment, not only about fines and also not only about no spectators, but I also hope Marseille gets a point deduction. Because obviously, Marseille fans must receive severe punishment from this incident, and that punishment will befall their favorite club of course. sorry to hear about the incident experienced by the Lyon squad, this is truly the stupidest thing a group of football fans have ever done, even though if the match between Marseille vs Lyon takes place, i'm sure Marseille will win the match, things like this actually make Ligue 1 less interesting to watch. i was quite surprised to see that Brest was able to equalize 2-2 in the second half, but apparently everything ended differently, PSG finally won 3-2 through the last goal made by Mbappe, Mbappe succeeded in scoring 2 goals, good work Mbappe succeeded in making PSG successful continues to approach NICE which is currently in 1st place. I had heard that seven people had been arrested so far. I hope those are the people who are actually linked with this, and if they are, they do get punished. And I also absolutely agree that this was a great time for them to pick up a win. But for some reason, they were a little too stupid to actually realize that they are going to face a team which is not doing well at all and they have a very big chance to win this match. The match has been postponed. And I certainly do not think that they are going to get the same kind of chance again. When they will play next, probably the mentality will be different for both teams. And of course, the culprits should be punished. |

I expect Bitcoin to go properly bullish (as in, gain value really fast, leading up to a new ATH along the way) one year from now. That's based purely on analysis of previous bullish markets, but it's dubious and can be interpreted in different ways, I realize that. A sudden ETF approval may speed up the process and boost the price, although I don't think it would be enough to drive the market all the way to the new ATH. Another ETF rejection would likely have some negative impact, but I think it would only be temporary and fairly mild. So I don't think it's a big deal.
as we have seen thru the years of this market, we can never be sure when will we see this new ATH. combination of various factors will influence the path for this new price level. now, when it comes to btc ETF, it may have slight influence but it doesn't really give a high rally in the price. Bitcoin could still rise in price and reach new ATH even without an ETF, but underestimating ETFs and their impact would be a mistake. Last week we had fake news about an ETF being approved and bitcoin also reacted quite well, and in the past week with some positive news related to ETFs, the market is very bullish. So I think if an ETF is actually approved, it will have a huge impact on bitcoin and the market. I believe we will even enter a bull season before the halving if the ETF is approved soon. |
