You have a good point OP. We should not be too obsessed on teaching them earlier about bitcoin because eventually they will only forget them if their focus is only on play and leisure. Let them enjoy on their childhood and maybe when they become mature enough and could comprehend more about bitcoin and cryptocurrency, then that could be the time that we will start talking to them about bitcoin. If they like the idea then much better, but if they hate it then maybe they’re not meant to be bitcoin investors as everything starts with one’s passion and will.
Very few kids will be very interested into technology and related stuff. With that in mind we shouldn't expect every kid to have same mindset. Came across the history of OpenAI Altman, he started learning and writing codes and programs in the 8 years of age. Started his programming company in his 19th age. Similar level of interest shouldn't be expected with every. As most people said the space for kids should be given and they should be taught about the importance of learning. This is how interest over something can be initiated.

Sri Lanka VS UAE
The third match of the World Cup Qualifier Sri Lanka vs UAE starts today. United Arab Emirates is a weak side as Sri Lanka's opponent. I think Sri Lanka will win today's match. Because Sri Lanka's bowling line batting line is better than UAE. Who do you think will win today's match?
As I was expecting Sri Lanka team was looking strong. They gave a handsome target to United Arab Emirates team. Sri Lanka made 355 runs and gave 6 wickets. And United Arab Emirates team made only 180 runs with in 39 overs and got all out. By the way Sri Lanka made 355 runs this really a good target and I was sure that the UAE team will unable to chase this target. Excellent performance by Sri Lankan team.
Sri Lanka is a good team but not a very good team but they have managed to collect huge runs against a weak team like UAE. losing a match by 175 runs in a match like ODI is a sign of too weakness. UAE lose most of their matches so losing today's match against Sri Lanka is not new for them. today's match was a boring match because ending the match with such a long run gap cannot be considered as a good match.
Sri Lanka is very clear at their position. They doesn't want to miss the world cup for any reason. This is why they're performing the best out of them without considering whether the team is big or small. UAE is not a very big contender to give tough fight against Sri Lanka. Against teams like Oman, Nepal, Zimbabwe, Netherlands and similar teams we can expect fight back.

The opening partnership is really good for Australia. The big expectation is from Moeen Ali, and with the 57/0 Australia needs another 224 runs to win the match. This is really an easy reachable target, if England have scored same as the first innings then Australia too might've experienced pressure while chasing. Now the pressure is much on England and now the question arises, whether the early declaration on the first innings will cost England loss the first test match of the Ashes.
684  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: June 19, 2023, 02:10:08 PM
For England to win, they must play with caution while still being aggressive, aiming for a lead of 250-300 runs. If they don't achieve this target, then Australia are favorites. Both Stokes and Bairstow needed to take more responsibility and score more runs to put England in a better position.
In my opinion, The Bowler will rule in this match because England already in a very critical situation and Australian bowlers are doing good. So Bet Stokes and Bairstow have to play a vital role by making a good partnership. Australia and England both are playing effectively and I think Australia now has a bigger chance to win this match. As they already took the vital 5 wickets, So England's bowers have to put more effort in the next Innings.
And Now the Score is 196/5 for England.
England is struggling hard as the wickets keep falling at regular interval without much partnership being built between players. England have scored 215/7, with 3 wickets left England need another 150 runs to keep its hope of winning the match. Australia bowlers were in good form, Lyon and Cummins have took 3 wickets each. England declared the first innings, maybe if they've continued the first innings might've got little more runs. The match is going to be so close between the two, but we can't be sure who wins the match.
685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: June 18, 2023, 11:42:16 PM
Gambling as the major income is really bad. For some time period it'll give consistent winning, which can be out of luck/skills. Over time surely there'll be loss that need to be experienced. This is where most of the gamblers start losing and turns out to be victim of gambling addiction. Right person have patience or take a break. Depending on gambling for one's major income is a complete failure, because we aren't working we're relying on something. For them it is business, they look for profit and not loss.

@OP don't get hurt if your friend keep his investment secret from you.  I believe even his family does not know about his Bitcoin investment due to your friend keeping the data about his investment secure.  It is normal for a cautious person to keep important information especially when it has to do with financing and investment, hidden or secret.  So instead of whining about your friends action, why not understand him?
As said, it is good that you try to understand him. People have got different thoughts when it comes to privacy. Not everyone expose themselves to the close ones. Feel happy that your friend is part of bitcoin, because you've tried to make him understand about it. One thing, at any cost OP shouldn't ask him why he hide it. Because, the same could create uneasy feel between the two. This incident can sometimes affect the long friendship.

We can't be sure on AI startups losing importance. The majority that end up losing are the one that are much focused on money and not on providing better technology to the world. Dot com bubble can't be compared with AI Startup failures. Right now everything developed by different startups looks similar as we're on the early days of AI into usage. Here the success were determined on how the same is been marketed. Rather than the development it is all about the marketing that leads to success of the startup.

Even now I feel bad, because of what I've promised. At times something that coincides makes me think, just because I wasn't keeping the promise things have been happening bad with me. Even now I wasn't feeling good, I was sick and it gives me a feel of guilt. Most of the gamblers would've come across these kind of feelings. I've taken break for months and all of the sudden I lose control and start to gamble regularly. Further the break happens once after big loss.

The very first match of the World Cup qualifier have surprised the cricket followers. It is expected to be close fight between the two teams, but Zimbabwe have won the match in a much easier way. 290 runs is really good target, but Nepal team bowlers weren't able to have control and break partnership. Ervine and Williams had a good batting session, with their centuries they've made it winning day for Zimbabwe. My next important match is Nepal vs West Indies where we can understand how good Nepal have progressed.
Williams and Ervine delivered an outstanding batting performance for Zimbabwe vs Nepal. Though Nepal scored 290 but 164-run partnership from Williams and Ervine helped their team reach the target so easily and beat Nepal. Despite suffering a loss, Nepal had several positive sides such as 171 first wicket partnership and others. They have good with batting, but they must work on improving their bowling skills. It's important to always stay active for improvement and progress. Anyway, i'm waiting for Nepal's upcoming match against West Indies.
Zimbabwe victory over Nepal was nothing short of remarkable with an impressive performance by Craig Ervine leading the way. His outstanding century of 121 runs not only secured the win but also earned him the well-deserved title of Player of the Match. Partnered with Williams their remarkable 164-run partnership effortlessly propelled Zimbabwe towards their target ultimately triumphing by 8 wickets. While Nepal showcased their strength in batting their bowling skills require further development. Nonetheless they exhibited positive aspects such as a commendable 171-run first-wicket partnership. As we eagerly await Nepal's upcoming match against West Indies, it is crucial for them to remain proactive in their pursuit of improvement and progress
Zimbabwe team lost two wickets, and those two wickets fell at good score. This had kept Zimbabwe ahead of Nepal, and then both the players stood wicket and continued to score. Centuries coming out of both the batsmen is really impressive and needed one at that time. Zimbabwe would've got more confidence after the big win with two players scoring century. If Zimbabwe were able to continue its performance this way, surely it is one among the team to enter World Cup through the qualifier Cup.
691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: June 18, 2023, 05:37:53 PM
Kenya was like a stepping stone to the African continent for cricket. In Zimbabwe and South Africa, even now the game is being dominated by the whites and not by the blacks. Kenya was different, because most of their players were Black African. With a little bit of support from the ICC, the game could have expanded more and they would have become a powerhouse in cricket. But then the ICC had other ideas. They diverted funds to countries such as the USA and UAE, and the excuse was that Kenya was not a major economy.

ICC must give preference to teams that have 100% native players and that's not the case with UAE and other gulf countries. Kenya was in 2003 world cup semis and today they are not even seen in any icc tournament. They have gone down to level that they are playing in a 4 team African cup with team like Uganda. The point is such team should have gone up in performance with time rather then lost in the darkness.
Kenya was in good position earlier, and the performance have went downwards. The team have played 5 World Cups, and later it had big break. The new team and the new players are once again forming the team better. However the team losing its one off tournaments against Botswana and Uganda is really unexpected. Once again Kenya to play against Botswana tomorrow, and this time Kenya needs to win the match. Cricket is much on Asia and now getting widespread around Africa and other parts of the world is a needed one for now.

A draw is the last thing I am expecting in this match (except for the rain scenario). I am waiting for another surprise declaration from the Stokes, similar to Pindi's test.

We have a total of 180 overs but we can reduce this to 140-150 overs affairs due to a slow over-rate and breaks. Also won't rule out the T-20 approach with all out scenario for Poms.

I missed out on Moeen's drama with the ball.
Right now match is ended with rain is still going on and no chance for the play which mean from first three days now we already lost two sessions which are surely going to have big impact on this game England's approach to bazball were good, but their flat pitch hurt badly to this match which is surely going to have more decline in interest in they keep things like this because on flat tracks it's never been good and ideal cricket going to create some entertainment for the fans.

Australian done good with the help of Khawaja century, and now they are having two early wickets which are also good advantage for them if they are able to have few early wickets in tomorrow play then surely things could be in their favor because now England is surely going to under pressure after losing two early wickets and tomorrow first session is going to be vital for both teams.
Australia is in better position than England. If the two complete days can be played, this match gonna end in favour of Australia. In the first innings England lost an early wicket and then there is good partnership. This time two early wickets which is a big pressure for England. Pope and Root needs to make good partnership, and Australia will look for wickets at the opening session of the day. Being one among the much expected series in cricket, every result is very important. If England try to score big with the same batting pattern as first innings there are chances of losing wickets soon, because everytime this trick won't work well.

FUD often rolls out. Whenever such thing happens all that can be done is to have patience. Not everyone have got this ability. Till date bitcoin have died endless times, so it is the difference of thoughts between the users. Same as this we can see people having positive as well as negative thoughts over bitcoin. It is all about the mind to take the good and leave the rest.

Now people have got better understanding than the past. Earlier it used to be very simple and whale have fun creating FUD. Media too enjoy it as they don't have much of information relative to bitcoin. Now things have changed and people follow the real market than getting into the traps.
694  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you tired of waiting for the jump? Pls Hodl on: June 16, 2023, 11:59:34 PM
With bitcoin we should have the patience and the mind to read the market well. Getting into panic never gonna help you with the betterment of holding bitcoin. We should understand that the market never varies according to our expectation. It is the market that runs independent, and we need to have our prediction and act depending on the variation taking place in the market.

Most people prefer long term holding, however if there arises a big jump in the market that needs to be used rather than waiting for the long term. This way you will be able to book the profit and buy back again as the market drops.

I mean seriously dude? England declaring first innings with 2 wickets still left. I don't know why they are in so hurry to declare the innings. Root and Bairstow rescued England when game was slippig  away from them. England scored 393 runs with RR of 5.04. Khawaja had a terrible WTC final and will be looking to score some runs today.
May be Ben Stokes wanted to bat again as soon as possible and hence declared the innings even though Joe Root was in the crease and Ollie Robinson was playing a proper Test innings and even i was confused and surprised when they declared the innings as i cannot understand what kind of approach is this with just 4 overs they could bowl even though they declared for the day.
Ben Stokes have done a different style of performance in the first day. Maybe if one wicket have fallen in the four overs, then it is a real success for England team. Australia have played those four overs really well. Surely by the second day start England could've started the innings if they hadn't declared the innings. Now the days start could bring few wickets. Lets see whether the trick work for them.
696  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Without money, the knowledge is a waste on: June 16, 2023, 11:27:27 PM
That's a wrong perception one have created over it. When it comes to bitcoin, there is nothing compulsory to buy it as a whole. With its high price it is really difficult for all people to afford it as a whole. One can buy what he is able to buy. There are people who are selling their services in exchange for bitcoin. Slowly we get to save and later with the saved bitcoin one can practice trading and make some earning. Opportunity can be developed and used.
697  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - how low will we go in 2023? on: June 15, 2023, 11:35:04 PM
The best practice is to take a break whenever you feel and convinced that the price of Bitcoin will go more deeper,  no one knows how far this current correction will go but at the same time, long-term holders will have the upper hand at the end of the day,  so instead of selling at the low price it better to keep holding while limiting your buy in order in other to prevent further losses if the market continues in the declining condition.

So there is no need to panic,  rather it is time to hold back and watch for the next possible action that the market is going to take.
None is sure about the price drop. Whenever such scenario arises it is good to take break or it is better to stay on the safer side. According to experts, every drop in price need to be considered as an opportunity. In such thoughts it is good to go with DCA whenever you prefer making an investment into bitcoin. The market correction have taken place reaching around $25k and slowly it have started to grow slowly. Maybe for some time period it can move within $27k.
698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: June 15, 2023, 09:28:17 PM
Yes, that's right, at least only the players who may be retiring soon and they will be willing to play here for extra money. Because after all, if the Saudi Professional League becomes more popular then of course there are many young players who are willing to also play here like for example Mbappe, maybe. But yes, as we know, young players will certainly pursue their dreams of playing in Europe. What's more, nowadays there are many European teams owned by wealthy rulers from the Middle East, so they or young players will certainly prefer to play in prestigious competitions in Europe.
The league can attract young players from leagues in developing nations. Some African and South American young players would find the Saudi Arabia league profitable because of the pay. An average player in Saudi Pro League earns more than some top players in some leagues. But the league can attract quality young players because they have big dreams and aspirations to win trophies in Europe. It is amazing to see that many of these veterans are not considering the US Super League like before. It was common to see players moving to the US soccer league before. But it seems the focus now is on the Saudi league. The move of Messi to the Major League might lure more players to the US. Some of these Saudi Billionaires may start running a network of clubs in Europe and the Middle East where players would be easily transferred from one club to another with less restriction.

The teams in the SPL are currently quite confused because they don't want to recruit young players, they only choose old stars who have extraordinary services even though they have to spend enormous amounts of money, of course for their dreams and targets to be fully achieved in the future (to host the world cup

with the arrival of cristiano ronaldo, ngolo knate and benzema, the spotlight of the football world will go to the SPL, we can say al ittihad and al nassr are very lucky to have these two big stars.
These teams were the much known teams among the entire list of teams. Particularly the competence was high between these two teams as they were the title winners in more numbers. This time Saudi Arabia had been spending big and attracting players towards the league when more number of Europe Club team.

The Asia Cup is basically held in the Asian continent with all the cricket playing countries.Among them are India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka.However, Nepal is one of the most popular cricket-loving countries in Asia.They are working very hard to succeed in cricket I think Asia Cup is a very important tournament for them if they do well in this tournament then surely their cricket will go far.

This time, it is a very good opportunity for Nepal. Despite the ICC and the BCCI trying their best to put obstacles in their path, they have managed to qualify for the Asia Cup as well as for the ODI World Cup qualifier. Finishing at top-2 for the ODI World Cup qualifier is going to be extremely difficult, but the experience they gain while playing against teams such as West Indies and Zimbabwe would be very useful when they face India and Pakistan during the group phase of the Asia Cup.

Till now Nepal has played a total of 51 ODIs and 57 T20Is. However, none of these 51 ODIs were played against full member nations. Their matches against West Indies and Zimbabwe during the ODI World Cup Qualifier would be the first against full-members. They have played a total of 7 T20Is against full-members (3 vs Ireland, 2 vs Zimbabwe and one each against Afghanistan and Bangladesh). Out of these 7 matches, they managed to win just one (vs Afghanistan).
Nepal have got good support from the nation and it have got able players. Surely in the long run Nepal will be a tough contender to every cricketing nation. Amidst financial issues Nepal have progressed and reached the World Cup qualifier and the Asia Cup. Nepal needs to get more opportunities to play against the full members. Nepal haven't toured out of the sub continent. Playing on different pitches against different nations will give varied experience. Most small nations were performing good. In yesterday's match it was Oman have reached 339 runs while chasing the target of 367 against Zimbabwe. This isn't simple, and more similar progress can happen in the World Cup qualifier.

Among the list, I find savings as the best way to overcome inflation. We can't be sure when the economic situation changes, and to meet any such scenario we need to be prepared. What we have been going around started from the days of COVID and this continues. Amidst more and more reforms the scenario continue to be the same.

With is the time when unexpected job cuts takes place. All of the sudden having no money and source to survive is really painful and at these situations it is the savings that helps us. So, amidst the situation and earning we need to allocate major portion into savings.
