The market will move of its own unlike the external disturbance. This is the goodness with the market. Bitcoin used to have its bullish and the bearish move vary all of the sudden. With halving we can expect the market to be bullish around the close days. For now the market doesn't look like a troubled one, because it is moving on its own track and it isn't influenced.

For a long it wasn't able to have strong resistance to move high crossing specific barriers. The recent one being the market trying to cross $30k, but it keeps failing. For now it is in a move between $26k - $29k. This too can be stated as the impact of upcoming halving. Because after reaching high value it is hard to experience bullish move at the time of halving. So, now the market is slowed down and waiting for the bullish move.

It's important to remember that the use case for Bitcoin may not necessarily be as a stable currency for everyday transactions. Its value proposition lies in its decentralization, security, and ability to operate outside of traditional financial systems. While stability is important for a currency, it's not necessarily the only factor in determining its success or adoption.

It's simply money, a way to pay goods and services.

It's value will change over time, but so does other currencies.

The thing is that over long periods of time it should continue to increase it's value given its scarcity.
It emerged as an alternate to the traditional fiat to fulfill the missing features of the monetary system.

The prime purpose is to be used as a transaction source that omits the middleman.

The best thing with cryptocurrency from that of the fiat is the volatility.
Most of the people prefer cryptocurrency for its varying market.
For now we can't see it to be stable as most users said.

I don't go with timezone and all. While gambling my primary focus is just upon the team involved and the chance of winning the same. With casino games my choice used to be to play during the midnight or early morning.. I've a belief, it'd increase the q winning chance.

The way Ireland started their innings I thought Ireland would win today's match very easily. They collected 109 runs in the second wicket pair. But at the end of 45 overs, the Ireland team collected 237 runs after losing 6 wickets. Ireland needs 38 runs from 30 balls. It doesn't seem easy to me. Lorcan Tucker and McBrine are batting at the crease. If Tucker can stay at the crease then Ireland has a chance of winning. But the bowling of Bangladesh's bowlers is now very controlled. They want to win the series 2-0. Bangladesh will try their best to win the match.
With the way Ireland performed till the 40th over, they were in control of the match and expected them to win the match easily but the breakthrough from Najmul Hossain Shanto started the Ireland's downfall and Mustafizur Rahman returned to bowl his quota and started picking wickets and started restricting the run flow and Hasan Mahmud bowled a wonderful final over that helped Bangladesh win the match and the series.
The inexperience of fhe team can be understood from their performance. If the same situation have happened with an experienced team, surely this could've been an easy win for them. With the win Bangladesh holds the series. Shanto is really good with their batting. Bangladesh won the series, but the win isn't one sided which will keep Ireland happy. Even today's match is a very close encounter.

Punjab Kings defeated Delhi Capitals with a stunning 31 runs victory. Prabhsimran Singh emerged as the player of the match  showcasing his incredible talent by scoring a century of 103 runs in a mere 65 balls. With this outstanding victory the Punjab Kings have 12 points and are still in the running for a playoff position. Alongside them LSG with 13 points and Rajasthan Royals with 12 points both have a chance to qualify. The final four teams that will proceed to the IPL playoffs will be decided in large part by the results of each team's final two matches.

Prabhsimran's 103 was enough for PBKS to win. If Prabhsimran had not scored 103 off 65 balls, the team's total would have been 130. The second highest run after his 103 was Sam Curran (20). It goes without saying that his collection alone was able to bring victory for Punjab Kings.
On the other hand, Salt (21) scored the second highest runs for Delhi Capitals after David Warner (54). However, there was a lot of pressure on Delhi Capitals' batting and they lost 6 wickets for the team's 88 runs. In this case, PBKS's chances of making it to the knockout stage remained intact.
After a long period of time David Warner's bat added some runs, but Delhi Capitals could not win that match. However to be appreciated
Prabhsimran who is the only one who deserves praise for the entire team's victory. Delhi Capitals David Warner and Philip Salt's good Partnership. The victory was a matter of time at the time but suddenly the fall of two batsmen of the top Oder had an impact on the whole team. At the end, the team was defeated by Punjab Kings by 31 runs. Punjab Kings has been able to capture the 6th place in the points table
by winning this match.
That's true, after a long David Warner have touched 200 strike rate. The whole credit goes to Prabhsimran for his scoring of 103 runs which made Punjab Kings won the match and keep the chance of qualifying for the playoff. Delhi Capitals have got good batting order, but they weren't performing good. Even in its previous match Delhi Capitals lost the match unable to reach the target of 167 against CSK. However I feel this to be an unlucky season for Delhi Capitals as the team lost its matches very closely.

Bangladesh is currently in a very good position in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League. Bangladesh is currently at number three in the points table of the Super League, leaving teams like India, Pakistan, Australia and South Africa behind. Bangladesh's incredible success in ODI cricket. 

Currently, Bangladesh is having its best time in ODI cricket.  After playing 24 matches, New Zealand has 175 points in the Super League and England has 155 points after playing the same number of matches. And after playing 23 matches, Bangladesh is at the third position in the points table with 145 points. 

Asia Cup and ODI World Cup are going to be held in the future. If Bangladesh can maintain this consistency, then maybe the fans of Bangladesh can expect a trophy in a big tournament.
The Bangladesh cricket team is currently pushing itself forward tremendously. Maybe they want to do something great in the next World Cup. In fact, my personal opinion is that the type of game that Bangladesh team has, they are well qualified, if they are properly trained and practiced, then this team will become a much better team.
Already Bangladesh team is in good position. Even with the leading teams the performance is no down in means. In recent ODI matches against India and England, Bangladesh were good and won the series against India. Even with England they won a match and the other two matches were close. The country gives good support to its players, moreover the upcoming World Cup being hosted by India gives them an added advantage to perform better as both the countries have the similar weather conditions.

Today some matches suspended due heavy rain in Roma... Tiafoe / Tsitsipas / Lehechka
it would be a long tournament if the weather doesn't improve in the next days Roll Eyes and according forecast it wouldn't improve Sad

Interruptions are always a burden for the players. As a result there can always be surprises.
Just saw that there have already been some surprises in Rome. AAF lost against number 77 Popyrin. Fucsovics won against De Minaur. Khachanov lost against number 63.
I have not seen Fuscovics play yet. But he seems to have a good form at the moment. So maybe I should watch it and there will be a surprise.
These bad weather most of the time serves to be the best time for the gamblers who go with the underdog. Unexpected results have come out from specific players. In the matches suspended the favourites weren't leading except Tsitsipas.

With the win against Albert Ramos Vinolas, once again Alcaraz have retained his number one spot on ATP ranking. As stated more matches are gonna be interesting as surprising performance awaits from the low ranked players.
748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: May 14, 2023, 12:56:37 AM
A heartbreaking incident (suicide) committed by a gambling addict occurred again in one of the cities in my country. I am surprised by people who are determined to commit suicide because of debt, after all debt is something that can be solved, message for suicides - why should you end your life and leave your wife and children without clarity, doesn't that only make them suffer more and the future of the children becomes uncertain!

Quote
Alexander Leo Gunawan (33), head of the Expeditionary Office of the Tanah Sereal branch of JNT, Tambora, West Jakarta, was found hanging himself on the third floor of his office. Before ending his life on May 10 2023, the resident of Jalan Gunung Sahari VIII No.22 RT 015/004, Sawah Besar, Central Jakarta, had called his wife and conveyed his intention to kill himself and ordered him to look after his children.
SOURCE -- JNT Boss Suicide due to Debt and Online Gambling

People who commit suicide after piling up huge problems due to their actions are cowards.  They can't take responsibility for their errors and leave their family with the problem created themselves.  I feel sorry for the family that was left with a huge amount of debt by the person who committed suicide.

This person probably felt the feeling of helplessness plus the pressure put by the debt and his family.  This is one reason why families should be supportive of one another in order to prevent this kind of incident.  Gambling addiction may give us problems but I believe suicide is not the answer to the problem but the escape to take responsibility for the problem.  Thus they can be called cowards.
This is common thinking that strikes human minds. It all happens all of the sudden and if he overcomes that few seconds surely he won't think of it. Even myself have thought of suicide and all. This happened when I've lost big and I don't have any source to compensate the loss. Again I've got good sum of debt. That was the first big loss and by the time it happens. I had fear in mind, because the money I lost is saved to settle my debts and apologized with my girl for what I've done. She stood supportive that we can manage. That is where a family or close support is needed.

As the opening batsman for Punjab Kings, Prabhsimran basically scored all the runs and the rest of the bowlers did not survive on the field. Prabhsimran is able to score a century with the magic of the bat and they get the win at the last moment. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals have not performed well and fielding misses are more especially as Delhi Capitals are at the bottom of the points table. Punjab Kings have a chance if they win their next two matches then they can definitely go to knock out. However, Punjab Kings are more focused on performing well on the field.

The batting from Punjab Kings team was like a single man show. Opener Prabhsimran scored 103 from 65 balls. This helped the team to have 167 runs. Down to him it is Sam Curran who scored 20 runs and Raza scored 11 runs. Based on the performance from rest of the players, Raza can be brought earlier into the batting line-up.

It looked like an easy target for Delhi Capitals, and the start was really good scoring 65 runs at the end of batting powerplay without losing wickets. First wicket fell at 69 runs, and Warner kept things under control even when wickets continued to fall on the other end. Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar bowled well and changed the scenario of the match. Finally unexpected result came as Punjab Kings won the match by 31 runs. Anyhow this win is very important for them to keep their hope of reaching playoff.

Awareness on Gambling could give better understanding. Gambling needs to be an entertainment, same as what we spend on a movie it needs to be spent. We should not expect something in return, we just enjoy the movie and leave the theatre. With gambling we need to get entertained and feel happy if won. We should leave it there and shouldn't think of it further whether it is loss/winning. This is how gamblers mindset should be, if not this is gonna end with disappointment.

At any point we should not think of gambling as a way to earn for our living. This is just an entertainment that can make us happy/sad based on the win/loss. Target focused gambling shouldn't be followed.

Investment in bitcoin hadn't come by compulsion. The friend have known about bitcoin and invested. Each and everything have got risk associated with it. With cryptocurrencies we can experience it even high. With rest of the investment we don't have the profit for the risk we have take. With bitcoin we have the advantage of bigger profit based on the risk we take. Some feel lucky to make big profits in a short time period. Following them one shouldn't expect the same to happen for them. Here it looks like the friend have opted for a better earning that could help him grow.

Najmul Hossain Shanto got out finally, for a well made 117 (Curtis Campher got the wicket). But thanks to Towhid Hridoy and Najmul Hossain Shanto, the required run rate is now less than 8 runs per over. Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are at the crease now and they need to score the remaining 63 runs from 8 overs. This is a 45 over match, and therefore Irish bowlers can bowl a maximum of 9 overs each. Josh Little has 3 overs remaining, and Mark Adair has already bowled 7. That means that some of the out of form bowlers need to bowl the remaining 3 overs. 

Wickets fell, but it was too late from Ireland bowlers. Finally Bangladesh have won the match by 3 wickets and 3 balls remaining. It was Mehedy Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahman and Taijul Islam who played well at the depth overs in a cool manner without going for big runs and losing wickets. This is complete disappointment for the Ireland team, because what they scored is really big and enough to win the match. This isn't the first time, Ireland have similar experience in more matches. This time being on the home ground they shouldn't have let Bangladesh win the match.

This obviously was a do or die for MI and they played really well as per that. SKY coming back in form is the best news for MI. I think now it's the biggest task for any team to take his wicket otherwise he has the ability to make MI invincible. They can make 220 in any match and chase equally big targets. Not to mention, they haven't even been using big hitters like Tim David and Chris Green properly. I think with SkY in form MI is a big contender for the trophy.
After too much debate regarding the form of Suryakumar Yadav, he is back in form with two consecutive match winning performance. Like all the seasons Mumbai Indians are back in form at the final stages and it is the same this season as well. The performance that surprised me in this match was Rashid Khan who smacked 10 sixes and if any of the top Gujrat batsman gave any support then it would have been a winning cause.
Agreed if someone have given support from the top order this could've been a win for Gujarat Titans. I watched the innings of Gujarat Titans at 55/5 and believed it to be an easy win. Finally seeing the result of Mumbai Indians winning just by 27 runs is really unexpected. Looking the performance of Rashid Khan in this match I remember one of the match against CSK in 2022 IPL where he change the match with 40 runs from 21 balls. In that match Tim David was in good form scoring 94 runs and Gujarat Titans wins chasing 169 runs with one ball remaining.

Bangladesh's top-order players did not perform well in the first match. Liton Das was in very good form. But he could not collect any runs. Captain Tamim Iqbal also failed to play a big innings. Bangladesh team is not used to playing on a pace-friendly pitch. This is why they face a lot of problems in batting. If the batsmen of the top order played with some responsibility, it was not a difficult task for Bangladesh to collect a big score.
However, Shanto and Mushfiqur batted well at the moment the team needed it. If these two batsmen did not play well, Bangladesh would not have been able to collect even 200 runs.
I definitely have high expectations from Bangladesh in the second ODI tomorrow. They should learn from the mistakes of the first match and correct their mistakes.
There is >80% chance of rain tomorrow at Chelmsford. Anyway, Ireland has already failed to qualify directly for the ODI World Cup, after the first match was washed out. Now even if they win both the remaining matches, they can only finish at no.9 in the points table for the 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. They need to prepare well for the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier. 2 out of the 10 participants will earn a ticket to India, to take part in the ODI world cup. And for Ireland, it is not an impossible task to finish among top-2.

Bangladesh did not perform well in the first ODI. But there was certainly a chance for Bangladesh to win the match if it was played. Let's see what happens in the next match.  Bangladesh will try harder in the next match. But I was really not impressed with the batting performance of Bangladesh. They will be going into the world cup very soon. The performance has to improve very quickly if they want to have a chance at the world cup. I understand that it is very unrealistic to actually think that Bangladesh might actually reach the final of the world cup. But I think there is a chance.
Teams can't be underestimated, because the improvement among different teams were really big. I'm sure this will make the playing members confident playing for the team. Maybe this is unrealistic, but in recent days cricket we were able to see unexpected results. Little by little the progress can be seen on these teams scoring pattern. For now the average have turned to be 250+ run.x

Andy Murray is trying his level to make good progress, but he isn't able to perform well. If I'm not wrong it looks like he's planning to announce his retirement once after a title win. I don't know how far it comes to reality with the young players standing on top.

Murray is 35 and I think he will play for another 2-3 years. He is still successful from time to time and I am sure that will keep him from quitting now. He won last weekend in Aix-en-Provence. That was his first win on clay since Madrid 2016, but it did not give him enough self-confidence to win against Fabio Fognini. Now Fognini is better known and eyes are on him.

I think it is easy to understand that at 35 years old it is certainly really hard for him to continue performing well consistently. In the last match, he did play well. But he certainly fell short. At 35 years of age, it is suddenly hard for him to keep up with the others. Regardless to say that he is going to find it really hard to play against some very young players like Alcaraz who are already at the top of the game even if he is able to get past the earlier stages.

I also think that he will continue playing for another 2 years at least. But it is sure that these years are not going to be his best.
Everything have got some reason. For now he's not experiencing big success, but he have got some plan and moving towards it. At this age every player will experience some difficulty. It looks like he had taken it as a challenge and moving forward. Once it was Murray who had been dominant in Tennis. Now scenario have changed completely.

1: having expensive btc transaction fees makes me stronger to hold on to btc because I don't want to waste my money on expensive transaction fees.

That's is to say if the fee gets to normal you won't have good reason of hodling. Now that the fee is high I don't think you are hodling but waiting for it to come to normal price.  If you have been hodling the  high transaction fee shouldn't be a reason to make you stronger.  What is suppose to make you to be stronger to hodl should be because you believe in bitcoin and because you know what you want from bitcoin.
The increasing transaction fee is a reason for me to postpone my transaction to cash out bitcoin. I tried with a small fee and the transaction hadn't got confirmed. Bumped the fee little, even after that the transaction hadn't got confirmed. I decided to cancel the transaction, it shows the possibility of double spending. So, I've left the transaction as it is to get confirmed when the transaction fee gets reduced. For now it is two days passed and still waiting for confirmation.

CSK seem to be struggling at the moment thanks to DC spinners who are piling on the pressure on them. This seems to be a spin friendly pitch which means that Jadeja, Ali etc could make good use of it.

DC should try and restrict them under 150 in order to improve their winning chances though I don't think that will happen.
Delhi Capitals can easily make it happen. In 17 overs CSK have reached 126 runs. Jadeja need to make some fast runs with which there is possible chances for 160+ runs. It seems like a batting friendly pitch. According to my understanding about the players and the present match Conway failed and the team wasn't able to reach good score. If Conway performs well surely that match turns to be high scoring for sure. Anyhow every match is important for the teams, win of Chennai Super Kings increase the playoff opportunity.
If Chennai Super Kings can win against Delhi Capitals today, they will be more than assured of qualifying for the IPL.  Because CSK's points are now 13 and if they win this match they will have 15 points. Most of the teams have played around 11 to 12 matches and it is very challenging for each team to make the playoffs even though no team has officially been disqualified from the IPL playoffs. Delhi Capitals need 84 runs off 42 balls. Now let's see whether Delhi Capitals win this match or CSK win this match.
This team is not getting any help from the top batsmen. David Warner is the captain of the team and has more reputation in T20 cricket but in this session not seen any remarkable performances from him. David Warner and Mitchell Marsh both performed worst as overseas players in today's match. Mitchell Marsh's run out made the match more decisive. Rilee Rossouw was able to score  but his strike rate looked like he was playing an ODI match. He  just collected 35 from 37 balls and was also the highest scorer in that match.
Delhi Capitals should've won the match. Considering the big targets 167 runs isn't a easy reachable. As said the openers should contribute good, only then following players will add good runs. This is the team that comfortably chased 181 runs in 17th over. In that match Phil Salt played well. Mitchell Marsh, Roussouw had also contributed good. In today's match the target is low and there is no big pressure. Anyhow this season of IPL playoff qualification isn't possible for Delhi Capitals. It needs to focus preparing for the next season.

Watching Murray - Fognini now. Very entertaining encounter so far. It's 3rd set now, 6:4, 4:6 and Fognini leading 2:0 in the 3rd. Fabio managed to break the Brit early in the 3rd set. The battle of veterans is always fun to watch.  Roll Eyes
Finally it is Fognini to reach the next round winning against Andy Murray. The third set lead at the start continued and Fognini was able to win it easily. Andy Murray is trying his level to make good progress, but he isn't able to perform well. If I'm not wrong it looks like he's planning to announce his retirement once after a title win. I don't know how far it comes to reality with the young players standing on top.

Whether we use it in the bull/bear market, this gonna get used for our need. So, nothing to worry about it. If we were worrying on it, forever we can't make use of it and we keep on adding keeping it idle. Someday we'll have good volume of bitcoin, and the portfolio value will be high, but we don't have the energy to enjoy the moments.

Unlike the price I prefer buying things cashing out bitcoin based on the emergency need of that particular think. If that is unnecessary surely I won't, I'll try to convince my family or postpone the plan.
