641  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: June 02, 2023, 11:31:05 PM
in my country 90% of people have a bank card, people know about bitcoin, only young people 8x, 9x. My country recommends and does not protect bitcoin users when there is a civil dispute
Most people in my country are uneducated and live below the poverty line. They don't know about Bitcoin but Bitcoin has been declared illegal in all political circles of my country so if people in my country use Bitcoin they are convicted and sent to jail under various laws. People in my country who have idea about Bitcoin also cannot use Bitcoin directly. They also do Bitcoin transactions avoiding the police.
We were able to come across similar situation in different countries. In particular Bangladesh used to arrest people using cryptocurrency and send them to prison. This had been the situation and people continue to use it. What makes them use is the real ability of bitcoin and believing that the government will understand the real purpose of bitcoin someday. Most of the people residing in Bangladesh used to travel to India for the purpose of trading and other usages with cryptocurrency. When we're interested into something we need to make plans and follow it.

Actually it would depend if you live alone or if you're with your family.
If you live alone you should find a canteen that serves fresh cook meals and cheap because if you would cook for yourself the portion would be to much.
But if you live with your family buying ingredients in the market and cooking it yourself would be the most efficient way to save money on food.
Vouchers and coupon would only works on those who live alone and couldn't find a canteen.
How do you come to the conclusion that buying food from a canteen that sells cheap food is much economical than having to cook that food yourself while your living alone.
I think getting the ingredients and cooking your food yourself while living single or as a family is more economical than buy food where ever.

The only thing you have to worry about is storage. If you've got proper storage facilities, then you've got no issue. Besides, you get to eat to your satisfaction than you can do in any canteen.

You don't get to pay any transport fair or have to seek the sort of comfort you would have in your home. I doubt there would be any much comfort in a canteen that sells cheap.
Not everyone loves cooking. For all that people who keep on spending on restaurants for their food need, switching to a canteen or to Home food provider is a better choice. Probably he/she will end up spending half the amount spend on restaurants and hotels.

Another choice we friends used to practice is have our food on the sharing basis. In Asian countries main dish with some side dish is consumed. The main dish used to be less expensive and the side dish used to be costly and we can see big volume. So we buy three main dish and a side dish to be shared within us. This used to reduce the cost on food when calculated individual.

Looks like Ireland first innings will be over by today. Right now Ireland have lost the 5th wicket. Most of the match this is the situation. Used to loss wickets at the  beginning and the lower order used to contribute better than the opening order. Atleast 250+ runs is a must to have a better match between the teams. McCollum -36, Moor - 10, Balbirnie - 0, Tector - 0, Stirling - 30. Stuart Broad in good form and have taken 4 wickets.

I had high expectations from Ireland's batsmen in this match. Because in the last few matches, I have seen Ireland's batsmen perform well. Ireland could not win though. However, Ireland's batsmen managed to perform very well. But against England's bowlers, Ireland's players are unable to survive at the crease.
Ireland lost their sixth wicket by 104 runs. Ireland has now collected 124 runs. Campher and McBrine are batting now. These two batsmen are quite experienced. If they survive I guess Ireland will collect like 250. But the probability of this is very low.
Stuart Broad bowled just 13 overs and gave away 5 maidens. And managed to take 5 wickets. Ireland will probably lose all wickets before 200 runs.
Other than Balbirnie and Tector there is contribution from every player, but none have come up with solid performance. Campher have scored 32* runs. More than 50 partnership between players is must for Ireland reach 200+ runs, if not this is going to be a match with first innings score less than 200 runs. Ireland have reached 169/8 at the end of 54 overs. There is big expectation on batting, and now somehow the team is good crossing 150+ runs which at the beginning is at a very bad position of 19/3

England vs Ireland
There will be only one match of the England vs Ireland Test series, starting today. England is a strong team, Ireland is a new team in Tests. Ireland is a weak opponent for England. The match will be at England's home ground, which will get more support for England. It is impossible to tell which team will win or draw in the 5-day game. I think England have good quality players. Hope England will do well in Tests.

Don't have much hope for Ireland. Their batting looks OK, with Andy Balbirnie, Curtis Campher, Peter Moor and Paul Stirling in good form. The two youngsters - Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector have been scoring a lot of runs recently as well. Still, facing Mark Wood and    
James Anderson is going to be a challenge for them. However their bowling looks very weak. Josh Little is not playing in this match, and Craig Young hasn't yet fully recovered from his injury. Other bowlers are out of form, including Andy McBrine and Mark Adair.
England is gonna win the match. However Ireland will try to give some better performance as they have good batting order. The bowling from Ireland is not to the level. Even with the previous test match Ireland suffered loss due to poor bowling. Over time the team will improve as experience lets them understand how to handle situations.

Balbirnie have said about the match to be a challenge, along with the same he had mentioned his confidence of making a win against England. A win is historical and to the same he had added up the previous test match played between the two teams, where England got dismissed for 85 runs.

Excited for the upcoming WTC final between India and Australia which will start in a week from now. I feel that Australia has a small edge over India since they usually perform really well in major tournament finals.

Am expecting Kohli to be the gamechanger for India in this adrenaline fuelled final. Hyped!
Soon after the IPL the WTC final match is really interesting. As said Australia team used to do miracles in final matches. The team that perform moderate used to give tremendous performance at the finals. More teams were in the race to reach the WTC final. Sri Lanka and New Zealand have more chances and finally it was between India and Australia. Lets see what this teams do.

In most of the away from home matches Virat Kohli is the only player to have consistency in performance. So, there is no doubt, he'll have his contribution. Anyhow in the second day we'll get to know whether the match gets the result or ends in a draw.

~snip~
There are really consequences on our actions. Hence, we must do our very best to be responsible for every of it because we just reap what we sow. If you don't have limitations and let yourself be addicted in gambling, then nonchalantly disregard all of your other duties, the time will come you will suffer the negative effects of it and you will not like it. You have no other options but to face it eventually because running from problems won't really solve it. You're just going to delay the outcomes, but you can't avoid it forever.

Regarding being a drug abuser at the same time, I don't think it fits every time because some addicts aren't really dependent on drugs for dopamine. They have this some kind of cheap thrills from being able to play consecutively and perhaps excessively. So, I think it's not good for us to assume nor to generalized without really backing it up with legitimate references and citations of studies, since addiction is a sensitive topic as well.

I do think that it's a similar thing to addiction. It can be anything that produces a positive feeling in the brain.

People get addicted to anything, even gambling. The main issue with gambling in particular is that it can get quite expensive, you can lose your entire life savings in a night, whereas with other addictions the cost is way less, even though they might be so addictive.
The gambling addiction used to be very expensive against the other forms of addiction. For drug addiction or to stop smoking there are medicine and other alternatives that could make people hate the habit of drugs and smoking. With gambling things were different and there is need of self willingness and the mind control. This makes gambling the worst of addiction from which one cannot easily get out. As said it is the difficult one to cure as well as the expensive one that cause big financial problem in life.

Each and every match on the final match day have got results. With the win against Al-Taee the table leader Al-Ittihad confirm its position and becomes the champion of the season. With a 5 point difference between the first and the second team Al-Nassr takes the second position after its 3-0 win against Al Fateh. On the final match day Ronaldo wasn't able to perform due to injury and the expectation upon Ronaldo isn't much fulfilled. Maybe a title win is much to be focused in the upcoming season of Saudi Arabia Pro League.
649  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin price is always affected by world market news, why ??? on: May 31, 2023, 11:20:11 PM
Bitcoin market is completely on the supply to demand market. However it is really hard to predict the price of bitcoin. At the beginning the market doesn't have any external sources making changes in the market. Nowadays the market being speculative and have begun to coexist with the traditional market we were able to experience such kind of market movement connected to world market news. Even this doesn't make big impact, it happens to some extent. Beyond that it is the market itself making its moves. As the usage varies we can experience variations in the way the market movement happens.

Good decision, but you should understand well as well as make your dad understand the reality of the market. Never assure of big profit out of the investment with deadline. This is wrong, give him the advice to have patience, which is how it is possible to make best profit out of the investment. The retirement fund is the earning for his dad to the rest of his life. The son have taken the right decision. Partial investment is good, and he should plan for his regular pension spending in a much calculated way. In most countries military persons have got more subsidiaries, so leading life out of the pension paid is not a big thing.
651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Crypto coin Do You Gamble with the Most? on: May 30, 2023, 11:59:29 PM
I don't know why but recently I have staked most of my bets in Bitcoin and that is influenced because I always gamble with my signature earning and I am oaid in bitcoin so it beco. Easy for me to place those bets with Bitcoin, but before now I always bet with USTD since most casinos accept the currency as their primary currency.

My choice of betting too bitcoin as the payments were sent in terms of bitcoin. Only the last week's payment is available in the wallet. Most of the users here in the forum have the similar practice of spending their campaign earnings. Only the Whale gamblers keeps depositing more and more in the form of different coins and enjoy gambling.
652  Economy / Economics / Re: Will inflation in the world grow by 2023? on: May 30, 2023, 11:46:14 PM
There are enough wars and various crises in the world now, so it’s not surprising that we should expect an increase in inflation, many economists predict exactly this, sanctions on various states and start this process, besides, we forgot about covid, it was he who launched this process around the world .And now we see its consequences.
Increase in the inflation rate continues as the need increases. The ongoing war, lack of management, oil and gas availability. More issues push the inflation high. The sufferers were the common people, whereas the elite and rich doesn't gets affected much. From COVID things went worse and till date we weren't able to make a recovery.

In the upcoming years we can expect small countries to show better growth against the grown economies of the world. Right now people have started to move cross border for few dollars and Euros profit. The retirees leading life with the retirement funds have got scheduled spending and now the amounts weren't sufficient. In all levels people are suffering out of the inflation and governments too weren't able to handle it.

More T20 franchise based leagues were happening around. Some even try to make comparison with the IPL. The money spent on IPL is huge, so is the revenue. Beyond all for some reason every season the popularity of IPL is increasing. This is happening out of the tough challenges that are being broken by players. The last night's two balls will be spoken till the next IPL. CSK lifting the trophy from its 9th position in the previous season of IPL to the title winners. Almost two months of cricket celebration have come to an end.
654  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: May 30, 2023, 11:27:38 PM
Ronaldo recently said that the Saudi Professional League could become a force and will be among the top five leagues in the world. But he also said that they are literally lacking players and infrastructure. Now how will that ever be sustainable when they need to pay a few hundred million in salaries per year in order to convince the stars to go there? The sheikhs would be better off buying their clubs in the European leagues and go from there. Establishing the SPL as one of the top five leagues is a bottomless pit.
Reaching the top 5 position on the list of popular football leagues were really tough. The leagues played on Europe have got big history followed by the follower base. Saudi Arabia Pro League have got big history, but the player involvement is very minimal. Maybe over the years the participation of more world class players will make it more popular. The participation of Ronaldo itself have added more popularity to the league. For his presence a good number of people have started watching it. When more such players make contract with different teams, the league becomes more popular. However reaching within the five is still a question?
655  Economy / Gambling / Re: Which are best stake alternatives on: May 30, 2023, 11:11:09 PM
Whats the need for looking an alternative when you were able to use it. For specific regions Stake have provided with mirror links and it have got everything a gambler wish to have in the platform, except luck  Grin If you were of the kind to hold good sum of luck then it is the right place to spend and enjoy.

Most of the platforms that have been promoted through the forum have got good reputation and have similarities to Stake. Some platforms even resembles the Stake with different colour combinations. It is OP who needs to explore and find the right thing he wants.
656  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wife discovers husband's hidden Bitcoin during divorce proceeding on: May 29, 2023, 09:15:05 PM
I would say the husband failed because he couldn't keep his privacy.
Did he fail if he keeps his bitcoins even though not privately?

I guess the husband got busted because he failed to hide his Bitcoin from his wife.  He failed in his evil plan of keeping their supposed to be conjugal property by himself.  Honestly, I feel irritated to this kind of person (the husband).  He only thinks of himself when he hides Bitcoin.  If he is a responsible husband, he could have shared the good news about Bitcoin on his wife, and maybe they won't be getting a divorce since their investment in Bitcoin can help strengthen their relations.  Remember having a joint venture can improve people's relations.
Husband's getting busted happens often. One such incident is said here, and we don't know for what reason they have moved to the decision of divorce. If the divorce is taken forward for some financial issues then this could've helped them get better with their relations. We don't know what exactly is the scenario, one of my friend have applied for divorce. The reason is simple, that she wants his money and not him. He was so loving and he kept buying property in her name, at some point he realised that he isn't valued. Now he doesn't want to give money to her. Maybe in such situation this guy too could've hidden his bitcoin holding.
657  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Today I Have Shared About The Benefits Of Bitcoin With My Friends on: May 29, 2023, 08:44:04 PM
Brief them about how it is advantageous against the fiat we use around, because people find it easy to understand when explained with the real time usability. Because very few are good with technical understanding, also it is good to show them the chart and brief them about the way price have grown over time. When we assure of high returns, at times it'll disappoint.

We should not try to educate people about bitcoin in little conversation. Give some basics and let them explore. It'll give better understanding than we ourselves briefing. Anyhow it is really nice initiative to educate people about bitcoin.
658  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Throwback: First Bitcoin Website in 2009 on: May 29, 2023, 07:31:32 PM
It is interesting to see this, but there are a lot of questions to ask first from this
Can somebody explain more how this worked and when this was changed?
 to what will change in the future from now? since one day in the future today will become the throwback.
Agreed, someday what we use at present will be considered throwback. Now we doesn't want to add the ip address during transaction. Earlier those were all needed, which might've looked an easy thing in the past, now such usage will surely considered something far back in development. What we use at the present looks perfectly developed and nothing more required to make things easy access, over time upcoming generation will find this to be behind in development. Only time can give the answer about the changes that's gonna happen.

Match is not suspended yet but overs are cut , now Chennai super kings have to play 15 overs and chase 171 runs . Looking forward to see the match now .
Still it's alot of runs to chase for Chennai Super Kings but they can with the help of thier top order batter D.Conway which are currently in really good form, but due to rain bowler like Rashid and shami can get a lot help from pitch to put batters in big trouble during chase so it will be a really tough challenge for them also they will face huge pressure of final match too.
I believe if they keep wicket in hand and just build a little bit partnership hope they will get grip on match, but currently it's like impossible to predict the final winner.
Five overs cut and still the runs to be scored is a big target. For now CSK is in good position scoring 58-0 in 5 overs. Needs another 113 runs in 60 balls. At a run rate close to 12 is necessary and CSK can reach it based on the opening wicket partnership. If it is some other team we can say with confidence that CSK will reach in its style. Here the bowlers have got the ability to change the match at any depth conditions. In particular Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed as the pitch after rain could favour bowling.

The IPL 2023 final match is taking place and Chennai Super Kings are bowling the opening. Gujarat Titans is doing a great batting performance in the match. If the two batsmen who are batting at the moment can survive, the score of Gujarat Titans will definitely be high in the end. If the batsman of Gujarat Titans Shubman Gill bats as well as the previous match, then they will definitely have the ability to become champions. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings will definitely try to bowl well for the wicket in their quest to win. Chennai Super Kings will definitely have a target when batting and they will have to play to win according to the score that Gujarat Titans will score.

GT are 67/1 after 7 overs. A productive and fast start for them. Even though Shubman Gill just got dismissed.
If Chennai Super Kings hadn't dismissed Shubman Gill, Gujarat might have scored more runs. Chennai dropped one wicket in the match and certainly slowed down the run rate a bit otherwise Gujarat would have had more runs now. At the moment Gujarat has collected 130 runs in 13.4 overs with 1 wicket. If runs keep coming in the match then there is a possibility that their total score will be 200 at the end of the game.
As Gill is back to the pavilion game Is already in control of Chennai super kings,  gujarat titans are now scoring at a normal rate they can collect maximum 200 today which will be an easy one for Chennai super kings.
Dhoni is not missing any opportunity to take wickets he will make this win happen .
Once after the wicket of Shubman Gill, it looked like match is under the control of Chennai Super Kings. The bowlers of CSK at their worst. Gujarat Titans have managed to score 225 runs with Gill - 39 runs, Saha - 54 runs, Sai Sudharsan - 96, Hardik Pandya - 21 runs.

Worst bowling figures: Deshpande 4-0-56-0 (14rpo), Pathirana - 4-0-44-2

Gujarat Titans - 214/4
Chennai Super Kings require 215 runs in 20 overs to win 2023 IPL.
