I don't think I read anywhere that Bitcoin was used to pay for Op's wedding. All he said was that he gave his wife a bitcoin gift. after their wedding. We just don't know if he taught them how to convert Bitcoin to their fiat currency. Or it's also possible that he showed right away how Bitcoin is exchanged for the money they use, because Op's story is not detailed.

Then you are also right; that is also the OP's choice and may be one of his ways to express his true love to his wife. And I think that in other communities here, maybe we also allocate Bitcoin for our families or spouses, right?

Anyway, such wedding gift or gift to a wife must be romantic, as it must give emotions. While money is just money (same as bitcoin). You give or get it, spend it and you forget about it. No positive memories are left after. Still dont understand how can investment be romantic. I can give my wife a brick, saying that this is a first step to our future house, and I am 10000% sure she would be totally disappointed with that. In my country, old people used to save money for their own funerals, and places on graveyards in advance. That is also a kind of investment, even though is sounds weird. Can you imagine receiving a present like that? As you say, it will be both practical and romantic.

That is true and very natural if Brighton extends the contract until 2027.
And now Manchester United, Manchester City and Barcelona have to accept the fact that there has been failure in the intentions of these three teams who wanted to bring Kaoru Mitoma into their squad.
But this extension could also be way for Brighton to set higher price for Kaoru Mitoma if someone wants it.

This season he only has 3 goals and 3 assists in 9 matches so if there is no progress until the transfer window opens perhaps Brighton will have the opportunity to sell him at the highest possible price.
Even though Kaoru Mitoma is very important for Brighton when he is but given off big offer Brighton will definitely consider him.

India holds the home country advantage as a well as have the best squad which was playing good cricket unlike the match situation. Rest of the teams were also very competing. Tomorrow we'll know whether it is New Zealand or India to take the lead position on the points table. Every team is giving their best, but the small mistakes were changing the match. I find India team strong, but once they reach Semifinals they'll be over confident or they'll be experiencing pressure playing on the home ground. Both could be difficult thing to overcome and win. Lets see what India can do.

Mainz o5 vs Bayern munich


The match between Mainz vs Bayern Munich has started. Although this match is an away match for Munich, Bayern Munich are undoubtedly favorites in this match. Bayern Munich need full points in this match. Munich need to get 3 points either way if they want to occupy the top spot in the points table. And even if they get 3 points in this match, they will probably finish second in the table.

Mainz is a relatively weak team. Especially their defense is very weak. With such a weak defense, it is impossible to resist a strong team like Munich. Unless Mainz are very lucky they will lose by a big margin.

Bayern Munich took a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute. Coman scored from Sane's pass.

Many here are suggesting that they do not keep anything on exchanges. I doubt this. They must be having good amount on exchanges. They operate with huge amounts and must be involved in trading crypto also. It will not make much difference to their net worth even if they loose funds on one exchange due to hack. They keep the risk versus reward ratio in mind before taking such decisions. Keeping the money idle in hardware wallets or paper wallets will give them no returns at all.

The bigger Bitcoin covers the whole world, the more countries that accept and make rules about Bitcoin, the closer the economic movement of a country or the global market will be to Bitcoin price movements. For now, data related to the economic growth of a country, especially the US, has a big influence on Bitcoin. So war conditions involving a country and also related to America will have a clear influence on Bitcoin.

The best hope for Bitcoin prices to improve is to hope that the war that occurred this time will subside. And world economic growth is also improving, why should we buy bitcoin if things get worse? Maybe this is my rough logic, and investors will abandon Bitcoin if things get worse and choose something that is more beneficial for them to survive.

Chasing down a score of 360+ is never easy, no matter what the pitch is like. But runs are coming from Pakistani batters, which is a good sign. However, they need to be cautious about not losing wickets quickly because if they lose 2/3, it puts them under pressure. Still, I believe Pakistan has a chance to chase this total, especially on this flat track with a small boundary. It's an opportunity for them to score and win the game. But, Australia is the favorite, and I think they might win comfortably.

After 33 overs, Australia's total was 245/0. In the last 17 overs they collected 122 runs and lost 9 wickets. They averaged a little over 7 runs per over. The batting of Australia's two openers looked like they would deliver a target of over 400. But after the two openers are out, no batsman can bat responsibly. The two openers put together 284 runs today and Pakistan gave 25 extra runs. The collection of the remaining 9 batsmen of Australia was only 58 runs. Had Maxwell or Smith been able to stay at the crease, the team could have collected around 400.

Haris Rouf scored the most runs among Pakistani bowlers today. Despite picking up three wickets, he conceded 83 runs in 8 overs. I miss Naseem Shah today. If Naseem Shah was in the squad along with Afridi, maybe Pakistan's bowling attack would have been stronger.

I think that support from countries to countries that are at war will not exceed their ability to help and that is only in the form of weapons and food and other countries are very likely not to be directly involved in the war.
However, in my opinion, the wars that occur often make no sense in being linked to Bitcoin because Bitcoin's scale with the global economy is not large, so the fear that is spread among Bitcoin owners is only to take advantage of certain parties. If you believe that Bitcoin will continue to follow its usual four-year cycle then ignore all the news wars but usually the ones who worry about Bitcoin are those who don't own it because those who own Bitcoin will maintain optimism without caring about other people's views about what might happen to Bitcoin because the current war is not as big in scale as imagined and only the media always exaggerates it.

Second match of 2023 Nepal T-20I Tri Nation series ended between Hong Kong and Nepal teams. This match held in the Mulpani Cricket Stadium. Nepal chose first bowling in the pitch. Hong Kong performance was too bad in second match of this series. Hong Kong scored 94 runs target in 19.3 overs and their entire team dismissed. Yasim Murtaza performance was commendable in comparison to other batters' performance. He scored 36 runs in 36 balls and hitted two 4s and one 6s after this he gone away from Abinash Bohara bowler of Nepal team. Karan KC who is a fantastic bowler of Nepal team and he took wickets of four Hong Kong batters and get player of the match. Congratulations Nepal team again great victory of this match.

Lower your expectations a bit for the next bullish market. BTC is not entirely within your control; it's all speculation. Don't act recklessly by making massive purchases that leave you without funds to seize opportunities beyond Bitcoin. Let's be realistic for a moment, and refrain from encouraging everyone to buy BTC in anticipation of a bullish trend.

Remember that if your expectations are not promptly met, a significant BTC sell-off by many will ensue, signaling an unbearable bearish market. This situation occurs because the expectations held by many have been excessively high, driven by confidence in the next all-time high (ATH) due to the halving event.

The same thing applies to me. I'd rather keep my invested Bitcoin to a wallet that is on my care, making it grow through staking that offers a small amount of interest is not really worth the risk. DCA, the only thing to do while waiting for the halving and until it shows an effect, just do DCA. Instead of taking a risk to earn bitcoin by staking, make it grow by adding your investment every month.

Until the price of bitcoin is still stable, starting to do DCA right now is a great idea. A year or more, the outcome of that investment will show an unexpected result. Just be patient and take the opportunity to invest as much as you can.

It hasn’t surpassed two season, this season is his second season but definitely he needs to be getting results far better what United have been able to achieve so far. Last season he went all the way in the four competitions he was involved in and won 1 and went to the knockout stages of 2 and then finish third in the league which was considered a success considering Manchester recent performances. This transfer window I would say I expected Erik Ten Hag to have gotten some better players to add to his squad but he didn’t, something that I wouldn’t want to blame him for but the management. The Glazers have always been a major problem to this Manchester United club since they bought it, they even got worse when Sir Alex left and this can be seeing by them rejecting a clear sale after a potential buyer bid an amount almost 2x the worth of the club’s valuation and they opted for a serial business partnership.

As for Ten Hag having issues with his players, definitely there is no manger that doesn’t have a problem with certain players regarding most especially the biggest ones in the squad. The problem with him is how he ousted them from the squad which in some way wasn’t professional but was certainly needed if he actually wants to control the dressing room

Yep, I did watch those 2 dropped catches especially at the slip and another one is just a sitter after that I just tracked down the scores only so can't able to experience their embarrassing moments. Anyway Afgans batted really poor so even if they managed to get the NZ under 200 they still failed to score on this pitch.

Another fun fact I found, Afghanistan is having the lowest batting average of all the playing nations in between 10-40 overs, this proves that their middle order didn't contribute anything to the scores.

Of course, everyone can make their own prediction. But you need to know that newbies sometime can misunderstand it, they may think every prediction is valid and guaranteed. We are here to give other perception, so the newbies will understand it is just a guess. Regarding BitQuant, surely I can google myself but I want to give the chance for the OP to explain it first.

I think the worries have to come to play because if you look at how the price is moving you'd think by the next day you'd see Bitcoin price at $30k but it won't even make any move to surpass $27k, is like $27k has something that's not letting it get past it to $28k and stay there for even if it's a day or two.
In as much as the expectations are high on the upcoming halving, we shouldn't forget that it might not turn out positive as we expect it to be and there might be a delay this month or the remaining part of this year for the price to get to $30k so is best to wait and expect less which is really hard.

...

Now, if you have Bitcoin in your balance address and are waiting for the halving or bull season, it might not be a terrible idea to put it into staking or farming so that you can earn right immediately, right? as long as the platform is still DYOR.

The match has started. And the match will be held in 43 overs. There are more advantages for South Africa to win this match.
Netherlands openers are batting cautiously. They managed to score 21 runs in 5 overs without losing any wicket. I think Netherlands' target in this match is to give Descent a target to make the match competitive. With a weak and inexperienced squad as Netherlands know well, South Africa cannot be beaten now. Because South Africa are now at the peak of form. South Africa will maintain consistency in today's match if no miracle happens. And will win by a big margin. It will be difficult for the Netherlands batsmen to collect 200 runs against the South African bowlers.
