721  Economy / Economics / Re: A steady source of income is a man's bottom line to support his family on: June 09, 2023, 05:51:58 AM
What we have to understand is that expenses will continue to increase because prices will continue to rise following inflation, of course we have to be creative by continuing to increase income, there are many things we can do to increase income, if we have special abilities in making videos then we can become YouTubers and very large income opportunities.
You know another thing that can help? Voting the right people to run your country, no one wants to talk about it but it's a big factor why inflation in uncontrollable, everyone talks about increasing your income stream but no one is talking about pay raise that matches the inflation and making lobbying an illegal practice.  There's a lot of opportunities but so is the amount of people and not everyone can do what those opportunity demands
A right government always does the best and makes improvement in the economy amidst all situation in the world Market. Inflation can be kept under control through its policies. Most of the government doesn't consider much about the micro economy, which means the contribution from the small scale industries. The focus will be much on the macro level and when something unexpected hits, the economy suffers much. Most of the countries that took care of the small scale industries and supported in its progress weren't affected much by the inflation.

Think of when you hit a jackpot, and some cool cash slide into your pocket, you feels better and step up some pride and involved arrogance, you feel like you can buy the world with your peanuts lol, bro, I little shopping out of it can makes you look like a poor man again. There is this oil dealer guy in my community who happen to be hot market pro in the oil industry, he owns an oil well but this guy it gets to his head and start contesting for political power which he has lose twice now and the worst of it now is that the oil well is dried because suck the money into politics, loss everything. This money is never really enough, no wonder even the President of nations still fights to get money after office.
Well with money, the quest for power then comes because since we now understand that money isn't enough at all time, people tend to go for power so as to be in total control of everyone.

Most time, the value of a person also determines how much respect its been placed on him.
There are people are naturally greedy and want everything for themselves  but there are also others on the other hand who will freely give out things without  so much efforts hence they get easily contented with everything given to them.

People keep working to earn more money because as the day goes by, more responsibilities  one faces and that's why mknwybidjt enough.
Yes, the power always makes a man higher than holding money. You want to have very big money or you need to be more powerful. This is where people mostly go behind power and money. People should understand whether it is money/power we're gonna die someday.

When it comes to power, it all should happen by the support people give and through the goodness he had done to the community or the region. With what he had earned, if he had does good things to the people around him surely he's powerful than having some powerful position. It is all about the way we take it forward and work that makes us go down or high with money and power.

CBDC were just another way of having control over the funds of the people. This doesn't make any impact upon bitcoin, because people who have understood well about the difference between cryptocurrency and the CBDC will never switches. The development were much focused on keeping the cryptocurrency users directed towards CBDC as they weren't able to ban or restrict the usage of bitcoin.

People who haven't got used to cryptocurrencies and prefer to be with the government's guidance will prefer CBDC. Even those people will find this innovation unwanted if they use bitcoin once.
724  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: June 08, 2023, 11:21:38 PM
I think that one should only feel that way when they have gambled off the money they are not supposed to and if they have encountered several losses without making any wins. Other than that, gambling is something that comes along with fun, so someone who enjoys gambling should even be excited after gambling because they really did have fun, but if they had the wrong approach towards gambling, that's only when they feel remorseful about the money they have lost in gambling.

Whoever is not ready to lose money should not even venture into gambling, and whoever is already into gambling should practice self-control so that they don't get so addicted to gambling with other people's money, which they are not supposed to gamble with.

Cheers 🥂, Dr.Bitcoin_Strange 👺👺
Out of greed or due to improper understanding about gambling, people spend big money and the money that is supposed to be spent on some other purpose. At the beginning they've got misconceptions that gambling makes them rich and pours money borrowing and through other ways. When they come across the reality it hurts and they can't accept it. This is where most of the people feel guilt of getting into gambling and spending big.
725  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I was shocked that my Neighbor also used bitcoin as mode of payment on: June 08, 2023, 11:14:39 PM
Here and there we'll be able to see cryptocurrency users through some means. Apart, most of the users hide themselves. This is all because of the legality issues around the world. I've come across information from Nigeria, the government haven't announced anything about the legality and people on their own risk continue to use cryptocurrency into different businesses. Even in a petrol station a person working on it have introduced bitcoin payment. Hope the change takes place and lets be part of it by spending on such stores.

India at the critical situation losing the wicket of Pujara. India have lost its third wicket at 50 runs. Second wicket had taken place same as that of Shubman Gill. Balls were completely misjudged and the ball hits the stump. Rahane have come to the crease, will Kohli and Rahane able to make good partnership to keep the Indian team at the better position. Australia bowlers are at their best, fast bowlers are doing well and there is good swing with the three bowlers (Green, Boland and Cummins).

In the two last World Cups France had amazing results and they were champions in Russia in 2018 while next time in 2022 they couldn't win the final match and this can show us France is on good days for years in the world cup and if we see then winning the World Cup or being in the final match in 2026 it's not surprising at all.
Here you can see the performance of France in the World Cups:

The good thing about France football team, it have got set of players that could play any position. Also the games weren't of particular player centric. In most of the teams, the matches used to be much dependent on particular player. The performance of France in World Cups were really good. In the upcoming season of world cup I expect more small countries to be highly progressive same as what we saw in the Qatar World Cup.

In the semifinals for the women's section, it looks like the 1st and 2nd seeds will advance to the finals, Swiatek will face Haddad Maia who performed quite well by beating Ons Jabeur in three sets but facing Swiatek will be very different and I don't think Maia will be able to get through and indeed Swiatek will be difficult to defeat at Roland Garros.
If the prediction for the final is between Swiatek vs Sabalenka happen, I think this will be a tough test for Swiatek because Sabalenka has experience beating the clay specialist in big tournaments this year with the same surface, hope this won't be a final like last year which was easy for Swiatek through and before seeing Swiatek vs Sabalenka in the final both of them have to overcome their opponents first in today's semifinal match.
Yes, Swiatek and Sabalenka will move to the finals. Previously Muchova in the Italian open lost to Paula Badosa in the earlier rounds. This time she had reached the semifinals, which is a good progress and can expect a good match based on the result of the first set.

In the other match Haddad Maia have won against Ons Jabeur. This could've boosted her confidence level and play better against the number one. In the previous tournament she had good record and lost to Kalinina in the quarter finals after a tough match that had two tie breaker sets.
729  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should cryptocurrency be banned in a country with a population of 240 million? on: June 07, 2023, 11:17:04 PM
The entire population of Pakistan isn't using cryptocurrency. The users and holders of bitcoin users in Pakistan constitute about 4% which is something around 10 million. Considering the 10 million users in mind the country doesn't make any big ban. Even if a ban is made, this doesn't affect the market or the users in any way, because there'll be loopholes available to make use of it.

Somehow this will create some panic among the holders, however the funds in our control gives peace of mind. Similar scenario have been experienced by people residing in different countries. We need to be just moving with them, everything will get back.
730  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Deciding to save money in Bitcoins for the future of the child on: June 07, 2023, 10:56:36 PM
One of my friend have started to collect little by little keeping the future in mind. His plans were long term, and he still holds a good sum of holdings in the exchange. He finds it easier. I've suggested him to move his funds, He never go through whst is happening around the market. Whenever he have got excess money, he'll just invest into different cryptocurrencies. Afterall he started doing it after my suggestion. Myself trying to accumulate something, but the money need doesn't let me follow it.

Considering the ongoing inflation and the return from different investments it is the best choice to save in terms of bitcoin.
731  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How safe are physical exchanges in your neighborhood. on: June 07, 2023, 10:41:45 PM
Physical exchanges always holds the risk of threats. Localbitcoins which served to be one among the leading P2P trading platform closed all its services recently. It had a feature of meeting the trader in person and exchanging fiat for cryptocurrency and vice versa. During that several bad incidents have happened and long back itself localbitcoins stopped the trading service with the nearby traders. So, it is common around and we need to be careful handling these kind of situations.
732  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People are giving too much importance to exchanges on: June 05, 2023, 10:39:07 PM
Bitcoin and exchanges are different, but there is a need of a platform through which the market for the bitcoin is built. If exchanges weren't available, what would've happened. Everyone who have got bitcoin will be holding it and there won't be any trading practice which keeps the market stable. If not we could've got moved to the ancient days or to the paper and pen on trading. Exchanges are part of the development. Everything can't be cent percent perfect, so is the service provided through the exchanges. The cryptomarket have got some connectivity with the exchanges, just because of that we were able experience downfall in the market when something good happens.
733  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your personal debt reduction method aside the debt snowball method? on: June 05, 2023, 09:40:54 PM
My choice of debt reduction is using gold as collateral. When we use gold as collateral it is possible to get loan amount at a much lesser interest than that of the personal loans or out of other loans available. It ease out to pay the amount directly to the gold loan account, which helps with the easy completion of debts than going for borrowing and other property based loan schemes.

Even if we were unable to pay the settlement amount at the mentioned time period, it is possible to pay the interest and last the time period to settle the loan.

A really interesting day for betting today - other than Etcheverry nobody is a huge favorite.
I really like the odds on Ruud - Jarry is a player I don't rate at all (although he did beat Ruud this year on clay).

I'm going with -3,5 on Ruud and -6,5 on Etcheverry, odds of almost 4 with a boost.
I don't know how confident you picked both the odds. Both Ruud and Etcheverry have won the match. The match between Ruud and Jarry had some close fight. In the match between Etcheverry and Nishioka it is completely one sided, only the first set of the match reached the tie breaker. Finally Etcheverry have reached the quarter finals after the 710-68 6-0 6-1 against Nishioka.

Meanwhile the match between Dimitrov and Zverev was completely dominated by Zverev from the beginning and he have reached the quarter finals. Straight sets win from Zverev, 6-1 6-4 6-3. Many predicted this to be a tough match as both were equally strong in performance.
735  Economy / Economics / Re: Why you should use spare money to invest on: June 05, 2023, 08:26:17 PM
Spare money is always good be be on the safer side. In all aspects it is the education and the continuous learning that makes the spare money a good investment. Diversified investment used to be the best, at the beginning it is good to go with some sort of less risk asset. When it comes to cryptomarket, the preferred ones will be bitcoin and ethereum.

People must be more of acquiring knowledge, but the reality is different. People just have a thought of becoming rich in short term and just go for investment without learning or exploring much about the market. Some get to be lucky whereas the majority end up with disappointment.
736  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which League Makes Sports Betting Easy to Win? on: June 05, 2023, 07:44:12 PM
The winning from sports betting doesn't depend much on the leagues. It all depends on the skill one holds relative to the game, it can be of any league. In my personal experience I've won easier with Tennis matches compared to other games. Most of the time my choice of odds selection is to go along with the lowest one. Nowadays this is quite risky, because underdogs outperforms and gives surprise. Another thing that makes sports betting easy to win is the live betting. Making bets on live betting used to give a better outline about the match than placing bets prior to the match.

Ireland 2nd innings showed a notable improvement compared to their first innings struggle. Despite a low total of 172 runs in the first innings Ireland's batsmen displayed resilience and determination. Andy McBrine  performance in particular stood out showcasing his potential as a Test player with an unbeaten inning of 86 runs. Mark Adair also showed promise, considering his relative newness to Test cricket. While England experience was evident as they scored 524 runs and secured an easy victory Ireland growth and individual performances provide optimism for their future in Test cricket.
England team made a big score in the first innings which was a big equation for Ireland team. Ireland have just started their journey in Test cricket so they are certain to lose against England. However, some of the positives that the Ireland team has shown in the Test match have been encouraging. At the moment as much as they gain experience they will be more efficient. While playing against England, the top order of the Ireland team could not do well, resulting in a major disaster in terms of score.
While Ireland outcome was not ideal the England team first innings objective was unquestionably a lofty one. Even though they were playing Test cricket for the first time the Irish players showed signs of potential and tenacity throughout the match. Experience is an important factor in any team effectiveness and the Ireland team will undoubtedly develop and get better as they get more exposure to the longer format of the match. It is crucial to see this setback as a teaching opportunity rather than a massive catastrophe despite the fact that their top order struggled against the English bowlers. Every match offers the participants a chance to hone their abilities adjust to various situations and improve their overall performance.

The Ireland team has certainly shown potential. It was just a lack of experience that actually played a big part in this test match. I know it is not like the experience is always going to prevail.

We saw that with the Bangladesh versus Afghanistan test match in which Afghanistan was playing test cricket for the first time and still managed to beat Bangladesh who has been playing test cricket for almost 20 years.

But I don't think we can compare Bangladesh with England. I know Ireland has shown good potential but I genuinely think that the best approach for Ireland right now is going to be two concentrates on T20 cricket only. That is the future and that is the format which is not easier to improve on.
Thats a wrong choice to compare Bangladesh team with England team. Afghanistan have got good domestic cricket and have been playing for a long. Both Ireland and Afghanistan have got to be full members of ICC during the year 2017. As Ireland is within England the importance for cricket hadn't come particularly from Ireland. Now they've formed separate team and playing.

T20 might be the future of cricket. One thing we need to understand, T20 is the easiest to improve. Another thing, it is the match in which even a solo performance could change the match result. Compared to T20 format of cricket, test cricket is the hardest to improve..

Casper Ruud won easily against jarry which was expected and now we have a total war going on between Rune and cerundolo the score is currently 2 2 and the last set seem to be going in Rune favor since he only need to win his serve so he can make it to the quarter finals but with this performance i doubt he can beat alcaraz or djokovic.
Thats really a big match and the liveliness of the match could've lasted till the last moment of the match. First and the final set of the match have reached the tie breaker. Both the tie breaker sets were won by Rune. Cerundolo is no down in any means, once after the first set he made a good comeback and once again unable to win the tie breaker to win the match, 77-63 3-6 6-4 1-6 710-67. Two more matches in the fourth round is left, one is between Dimitrov vs Zverev and the other is between Etcheverry and Nishioka.
739  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: June 04, 2023, 11:52:30 PM
All the favourite players had an easy win today in Rolland Garros and won 3 0 except for khachanov who struggled in the first set against sonego before making adjustments and win with the score of 3 to 1, so far it seems that either alcaraz or djokovic will be the winner but there are some names to look out for like Rune, tsitsipas and maybe zverev if he is back in his top shape.
Other than the match between Khachanov and Sonego, everything ended in direct sets. In this tournament each and every player who are exceptional in performance in recent tournaments have reached the Quarter finals. More to get qualified in my view were Ruud, Rune, Zverev and Nishioka. Lets see who have got to be the person to lift the trophy and win the title that is more popular than many other tournaments.

fantastic century by Brendon king in today West indies and UAE match. As a new time i think UAE performance was not bad. They have no experience of international matches but still the scores 202 against West indies. UAE bowling is not good and west indies took benefit of it and win easily in 36th over with six wicket remaining.
That's a good performance from the West Indies team, particularly Brendon king's century came at the right time. If not, the match would've moved to 40+ overs. UAE team hadn't got much of experience with similar teams and slowly they'll get to play better.

In the match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, team Sri Lanka proved they are high in performance scoring 323 runs with the entire players contributing something to the score. With Afghanistan the team had good start, once the top order fell automatically entire wickets fell and Sri Lanka won by 132 runs leveling the series.
