One more thing that i can`t understand. As for me it is just a waste of time. I can`t say nothing bad about these people - they find a way of easy getting money playing for fun. And i can understand when someone watching it for 15-30 minutes for relax. But lots of spectators watching it all day long... I can`t understand it.
Well, technically, watching any kind of stream or videos or surfing the internet or social networks is a total waste of time but still millions of people do that, why? Because everyone has to spend some free time doing things that relaxes them or make them have a good time for at least an hour or something, that is important for one's mental health as one cannot work or study for the whole day without having any free time at all.

I understand that there are also millions of people who are absolutely free and watching these streams and videos because they have nothing else to do, but that's a different story, I personally only watch streams or videos when I feel tired and when I'm resting for a while.
782  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Luck is what you need in gambling but you have to get to work with trading on: June 27, 2023, 06:20:19 PM
In order to profit from gambling, one should have some understanding of gambling in addition to relying on one's own luck. As much as imagination is needed, luck is needed. But in the case of trading, nothing will happen if we depend on luck, but if we trade depending on luck, then we will suffer more in that trading. To be successful in trading, zero percent is dependent on luck and 100% of your skills must be used. One should never get involved in trading without having sufficient idea or knowledge about trading. First we need to know about trading after getting full understanding about trading then we have to get involved with trading then we can get success.
Understanding trading is a very tough task and too many people think that they really understood it when in fact they didn't. Not realizing that you are still far behind and you still need to learn so much about trading is a big ask, and not a lot of people will be able to do that.

It is going to be pretty daunting task to learn all there is to learn about bitcoin and trading, but you need to do that in order to be good at what you do. People cut it short, and try to find a loophole on getting rich. Unfortunately bitcoin is not a get rich quick thing, you need to study for months before making a single trade, if you ignore that and start trading right away then unfortunately you are going to end up with a lot of trouble and won't make any profit.

Hello guys,I learnt that pi network is a crytocurrency that is beneficial in the community ecosystem that you can mine with,I want to know their clarified differences and if the pi network and bBTC does same functions.
Bitcoin is legitimate, Pi seems to be not. Be careful. They might ask you or maybe require to process KYC, there are a lot of rumors about them using this Pi project in order to mine Pi users' data. It is a shady project, I suggest refraining from inviting more people and giving them out your personal information.
There is no might because they actually ask you to complete KYC verification before you can be able to move your mined tokens from testnet to mainnet which is the most foolish thing I've ever heard because they didn't tell their members about this at the initial stage of their project because they wanted them to keep inviting more and more users and now they will collect KYC documents from all the users.

They can always misuse your personal documents for anything they wish or they can simply sell them to a company for money because that is obviously what their aim is behind creating the project, so people definitely need to stay away from this project and don't do KYC with them.
784  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 26, 2023, 06:38:06 PM
If I were in Allegri's position I would leave European football and accept the offer, because after all Allegri is only a head coach which of course will not affect his future. Unless the players are young, then of course it would be better to stay in Europe until old age to end up playing in a different league like that. But yes about Juventus, I personally really believe that Juventus will have a better performance next season. Although indeed, a team like Inter looks more promising in the next season but for me personally, I believe in the winning mentality that Juventus has so that they will still get their best form with great efforts which of course must be continued.
Even latest update is he rejected Saudi offer which was that quadruples his current salary but here I am agreed with you, he needs to accept this because currently he is 55 years old and for three years offer this amount is insane after completing his contract he can start his work again here in Italian League with band as we have too many coaches which spend seasons in Arab Leagues and now giving their best like Xavi from Barcelona was also in Qatar.
 
Juventus is currently facing various uncertainties which is not allowing many other players to join them as no one is surely how things will be gone in coming days and can they do better in future as well because last season completely ruin through deduction of points, and now they have no chance for the Champions League.
785  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - what are we expecting for the rest of 2023? on: June 26, 2023, 12:09:09 PM
We are now halfway through the year, and the price of bitcoin has not yet exceeded my expectations. The current price increase indicates a positive increase along the chart; I just hope it doesn't fall back in a brief period of time. With one week left in the month, if the price remains in the $30-$35 level, I believe we may still reach $50 before the end of the year.
What was your expectation Anyway? Maybe it is $50k? Because you are also hoping for it. That seems a realistic expectation knowing that we are already at $30k. We only need $20k which I think will be achieved in two to three months, judging on the flow of the price right now.

Actually, I was about to say 1 to 2 months but I'm still humble, gee. Any price increase is positive while a decrease in the price is negative. I think it's more than a day since we retain the $30k level so I think it's safe to say that we are not going under for a while. $30k should be our latest support now. I don't think we can make $5k more in the remaining 7 days but maybe next month we will.

Kane should have left Tottenham and joined a team that could promise titles and trophies, and Bayern Munich was a club Kane could have accepted. Because, if Kane is only interested in joining a Premier League club, then the result will be the same, receiving a lot of pressure but it is not easy to win titles and trophies if Kane only play at Manchester United. Except, if Kane moves and plays at Manchester City then that will be even better, because competition in the Premier League is difficult, so Kane can look for other clubs in other leagues such as Bayern Munich or maybe PSG.
Many times discussed and now many reports are also clearly saying most chances we will not have Harry Kane here in Germany for the next season because Tottenham is clearly saying they have no intention to sell with less price and asked price is too high for the many teams as now he is also 30 years old which is also big factor for the not giving big amount like this but as things are going if we have any change in Tottenham stance then Kane will be stayed in England but with any other club because most chances Manchester United is also looking for the striker and then Newcastle Untied which is also going for the Champions League after many years wants to have quality players into their squad which mean anything possible but in England not for the Bayern Munich.

Gundogan at 32, leaving Manchester City for Barcelona is MCFC Gain, why do i say this? Gundogan is old and past his prime; Barcelona get an ageing players; while MCFC gets a new opportunity to find a younger replacement for the brilliant Talisman. In the end, its a good deal for both sides
I don't think that's the right assessment because he is the team captain at Manchester City and his influence on his departure will of course be felt by the Manchester City team because at an old age of 32 years to be precise, Gundogan career and performance are even better than last season. He even got a great honor from the players of manchester city and city management to give him a new contract. But Gundogan instead chose to leave and refuse Manchester City offer, which of course the management of Manchester City really regretted.

However, all decisions are in Gundogan's hands and it is very likely that after recording many glorious achievements in the Manchester City team, Gundongan is more interested in seeking challenges at his new club and we hope that he can also achieve great success with Barcelona.
Yeah certainly transfers like these are going to hurt teams even they are having strong system and many other players for this spot as we have in Liverpool case just exit of Sadio Mané they were badly down and even out of the top four even Manchester City is completely different place but still we can expect anything like this with Manchester City management is also regretted with this decision by Gundogan, but they can't do anything just respect the players decision and allow him for the free transfer from Manchester City to Barcelona which is surely bit bonus for them as they are facing some serious issues regarding their finances, and now they need to work on their squad for the better results in both La Liga and Champions League with few other domestic teams are also doing their best for the better results in coming season.
788  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin is dead, long live ... what? on: June 24, 2023, 05:28:09 AM
I've been hearing or reading those lines for so many times.
I couldn't count how many times Bitcoin has died now ever since I got into crypto community.
If we would look at it there would always be some crypto that would fit on Bitcoins flaw but that doesn't mean that it would take it's place.
It seems that those who say this are afraid that it will actually happen so that maybe the investment they have made will be lost, but is it actually possible for it to happen? it's always possible if there is a substitute that can provide more than bitcoin, so many people switch from bitcoin. but if there is none then when the price of bitcoin decreases it is certain that many will buy it, then bitcoin will not disappear.
I don't understand why would people still think that Bitcoin will die or Bitcoin is dead when there are absolutely no signs of anything like that. Is Bitcoin's price going down constantly? No. Are people abandoning Bitcoin and switching to other alternatives? No. Are industrial investors withdrawing their investments from Bitcoin? No. Since none of these are true, I don't see any reason for people to think about that.

People need to understand that Bitcoin is not going to die, it is here to stay for at least a few more decades, we don't know what might happen in the future because there can be better technology but for now, there is none, so nothing can replace Bitcoin for the time being.
789  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic problem, why is fiat difficult to hold. on: June 24, 2023, 03:55:33 AM
Why is money at hand difficult to hold? I usually find it difficult to keep track of money anytime I have cash at hand, I make plans to hold money, but It never stays because something always demands the money, it is even so bad now that money kept in my account is also now being affected due to expenses. This is not something that happens to only me, I know that because of how money can easily be spent, many people now decide to avoid having cash, avoid taking ATM cards from their banks and also avoid activating USSD or internet banking, but is that really a long term solution? I blame myself a lot for spending so much and being irresponsible with money, but in your opinion, do you think that the soceity is contributing to the high and many expenses making money not to stay or is it just a bad habit I have?
Does that have anything to do with increasing inflation in the world? I though about that for a second, and it probably seems to have at least some influence over the issue of money being spent more than usual, we remember when we used to be kids, a little used to be a lot for us, the reason for that was definitely because there was no high inflation and quality things were available at cheap rates which isn't the case anymore.

You can't buy something that has a good quality with a reasonable price these days, you will either need to compromise or quality or spend more money than you want to only to get products that have good quality, that is how the world has become due to inflation.

Galatasaray need to improve their attempts for a centre-forward transfer immediately. Icardi's loan spell has ended but they are still working on bringing him back to the team now. Because this transfer is really important considering the Champions League. Gomis was the backup centre-forward and he is also about to be released at the end of the month. There will be no striker left in the team as a result. As a result this must be the main concern for Galatasaray these days.

Icardi's cost is quite high though so I'm not sure if they can find a way to reach an agreement with him at favourable conditions. They should look for alternative players as well.
After winning the title situation is not good at Galatasaray as Icardi and Gomis both are going, and they are going to play for the Champions League qualification hopefully before start of next season they will be able to have something solid backup in case of Icardi deal not ended in their favor even recently we have good changes in Turkish League with few big names are now joining, and they are increasing their quality but still it's not enough for the having big deals with recently Saudi League saga are also hurting them badly because many players are preferring to join this league instead of Turkish.

Nothing is clear about Icardi but still things are not favorable for the Turkish giant club because we can have few big offers for him with most chances PSG is again not going to keep him in their squad as they are also going to for the next rebuilt.
791  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin breaking out of 2 month downtrend on: June 22, 2023, 02:08:30 PM
A lot of development today which caused Bitcoin to gain around $2000 in price. Another Bitcoin etf and also another refiled Bitcoin etf. So far there are 3-4 different etfs in total this week alone.

Also some new crypto exchange went live which is owned by Citadel and Schwab, it was announced in Sept but went live this morning.

These development are the root cause of the strong rally we just had.
So, the exchange of business firms in the US has been launched? I didn't catch this news and I only heard that they are going to have it but I didn't know it has already started operating, this exchange is the reason why SEC is doing everything it can to take down exchanges and cryptocurrency-related platforms in the US so that this exchange can be a success and more and more people use it.

However, Bitcoin users are probably happy to see this price hike but I believe just like me, a lot of people have missed this hike since this was not really expected and we were expecting a further dip at this point because of all the bad news that has been circulating in the market lately.
792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stop gambling (sports betting, casino e.t.c)? on: June 21, 2023, 02:58:24 PM
      -  If from gambling addiction you want to stop this habit, I think it will not be easy for you, because it has become your habit or adrenalin in your daily life. But it will not be difficult to do if you yourself are determined to leave gambling.
It's better not to have started than planning quitting because it's not that easy to achieve, addiction is not what we can just say by mouth and assume that settles it, there must be some practical steps in action to take which will help get over it gradually because some things were bot done by force but through understanding and application of knowledge in handling such situations just as in case of gambling addiction we are discussing
It's the same as prevention is better than cure. I agree on this if what we are talking about is smoking and taking drugs but for some certain thing like drinking a beer, wine and playing a gambling, no because it can be beneficial to our body if we only consume them moderately.

Not all those who drink and gamble are addicted to it so there is no need for them to cure or stop doing it. In curing an addicted person, verbal or by using our mouth can still be involved. If it ain't working, that is the time to ask a help for some apparatus. I remember there is a thread here last time about using a pendulum to cure gambling addiction but I think it's not effective as by using some medicines, injections and other stuffs.
793  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Before investing on meme coin or shitcoins consider this. on: June 21, 2023, 02:18:53 PM
investing in memecoin is a very bad thought considering memecoin is not a good thing to invest in,
there is no technology, no product, and there is no great demand in the future,
so you will be in vain if you think about entering memecoin just following Fomo from people who want to profit themselves.
Well, you are probably right that it is completely useless to invest in a meme coin if you have already missed the train and the market is in FOMO mode already where most investors will only waste their money because the token will most likely plunge after that point, and when you invest in a meme coin, there are very slight chances for it to gain significant growth again in the future because the hype gets over and it is difficult for meme coins to gain hype again unless they are hyped by celebrities or famous people.

So it is better if someone simply invests the money in a project that has some potential for growth at the time of investment so that the money spent isn't wasted and the tokens aren't kept in the wallet for months without gaining any value at all.
794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: June 21, 2023, 04:30:50 AM
They are not going to improve as a club and not going to be a desirable destination for great players if they do not change their approach. And I understand that in the end, a club has to think about money. But the problem with Dortmund is that they are only thinking about money. And they are not going to do very well with that mentality. It would have been good to even see if they actually invested that money into making a really good squad. But they don’t do that as well. The sad part is that they know this very well, but they do not want to do anything about it. They just want to keep doing what they are doing.
In general, I wonder how Borussia Dortmund manages to remain among the leaders of German football with such tactics of the annual sale of their leaders. On the other hand, after all this, it is not at all surprising that Bayern Munich has been consistently becoming Bundesliga champions year after year for the past eleven years. And even when Bayern Munich seems to be handing the title into the wrong hands, as this season, Borussia Dortmund is not able to take this title and take the decisive step.
In last few years, we have many times opportunity for the Borussia Dortmund to have leaders in Bundesliga but sadly management never been interesting to win trophies, and mostly they love to stay good for the profit which is coming from selling of star players and just because of this their situation in this league is also good even they never won any trophy in last one decade recently we have good chance for them to win and have good chance, but they lost this all again hopefully things will be turned into good change but now in this season most chances we will have good performance from the few teams which could be interesting like RB Leipzig, Union Berlin and Bayer Leverkusen because now things are taking good change and these teams are also having good performance in last season.
795  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Bitcoin market is back on track on: June 20, 2023, 05:08:11 PM
It’s always only a matter of time until bitcoin reverts to number go up. Bitcoin is the most impressive innovation of the last 100 years or more, you can put your foot on a water submerged ball for only so long. When you get tired & release pressure, BOOM!

Bitcoin is an unstoppable force, we will see over $100,000 per coin before the end of 2025. Are you positioned for an explosive move that may catch many people unprepared?
Well, that's a good example you used right there, but it is not really as easy as it may sound when someone says it, there is more and more regulatory pressure building up against cryptocurrencies all around the world, and when there are more regulations, there is less adoption, maybe it doesn't affect adoption to a very large extent but it does slow down the process, so though we all believe in Bitcoin and blockchain technology, I believe it will take time to reach that high.

The year 2025 isn't that far from now, it is only a year and a half and Bitcoin's price is only at $26k at the moment with a lot of fear, FUD, regulatory pressure, bad news, and much more surrounding the market causing the price to go lower than what people were expecting earlier.

If you don't have the knowledge to promote your own project then try to learn SEO on-page or off-page SEO its free traffic comes from the SERP.
Actually, without money you can't get more exposure you will need to hire experts or a campaign manager to promote your project.

And honestly, what I see from your token it is a churn and burn or meme token that usually dies fast.
hey thanks for commenting, and yes it's a meme coin lol it's no secret. Is it just another memecoin like the majority of the market, does it intend to help the animal cause? he has! But this is not related to the technology itself, I have no intention of creating the next ETH. Honestly, I just wanted to see if someone without a lot of free time, without resources and without being famous could build something in the crypto market or if it really has become a game of marked cards and only with a lot of money to make the project work. And don't say that it's because there's nothing new in token technology that's going to fail. Day in and day out there's also one of those that becomes hype.
Anyway, I appreciate your comment and thanks for the help friend I will research about SEO that you told me!
That is what happens when a market becomes too saturated, the cryptocurrency market is bombarded with such projects and tokens coming out every day only god knows from where, it is people like you who create a lot of these tokens only with the hope that their projects or tokens might get noticed and become viral all of a sudden and it works just like winning in a lottery, but that doesn't happen very often and you need to work for it initially.

Running proper promotional campaigns and advertisements in a totally different thing, you need at least some money only to get your token noticed by a reasonable amount of people, otherwise, it's nothing more than a dead case since you won't have anyone even getting to know that you have created something.
797  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin is legalized, a dream of mine would come true on: June 20, 2023, 02:51:51 AM
As a Bangladeshi I have a dream cherished inside my heart, but in reality it is not possible to realize my dream. My house is located near a popular bridge in Bangladesh and on both sides of the bridge there are parks and sightseeing spots for travelers. My father has organized a food hotel next to that sightseeing spot. I sometimes spend some time in that hotel between studies. I've been nursing a dream for as long as I've been on Bitcoin forums. If Bitcoin was legalized in Bangladesh, I would take a payment system through Bitcoin with a pizza restaurant.
But my dreams will remain dreams because Bitcoin will never be legalized by the government in my country.
Good to have dreams like that but don't exceed on your expectations since there are si many technicalities need to consider before it will be legal on your country. Maybe for now try to focus on how you can earn since if you wait for something great to happen then maybe you will wait long for this fantasy to happen. Also we cannot close the doors in terms of adoption since who knows maybe in one day we can see a global changes and we can see bitcoin being added and declared as legal currency to use.
Nothing is wrong in dreaming big especially if Bitcoin is involved because the potential of Bitcoin to rise in a really high price is also high. As long as we stay consistent on buying and holding, there is a big chance that we can turn our dreams into reality in the near future.

It's better to start early on our plans because waiting for a sign or something, will only be a waste of time. Too early to close the door in Bitcoin adoption because until now there are still lots of countries who are not yet involved in Bitcoin. We need them in order for the Bitcoins value to pump up more. There were also countries who currently bans Bitcoin. Let's just hope that their governments will change their mind soon.
798  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: June 19, 2023, 05:52:51 PM
If they have UCL this season I think it's special, they don't have ideal players. They don't have the best transfers. There are no big targets I expected from Madrid this season. At the moment Madrid is in a period of transition of players, some players are leaving and starting to get old. Beligham's arrival gives new hope for Madrid's quality next season. But that's not enough, they need a lot of other players to compete with Barcelona in the league and Europe. I think if Anceloti is a good coach, if he has support he will give the best results.
Personally, I see Ancelotti as more competent in coaching players who already have a reputation, and for now, he is required to build from scratch by educating some of the younger players. So this is quite difficult and of course creates a new challenge. I say that based on his track record where Ancelotti has mastered more in every competition, both the Champions League and La Liga. This can be seen in the golden age of Real Madrid which was full of star players so the results were quite satisfying. Talking about Madrid's current position, the transition process is not easy, it will take time to really form the ideal team. Therefore, losing Benzema is considered a vital position that is most difficult to replace. Because Benzema is an old player and Ancelotti has much more control over him. As for the young players, Ancelotti's task will be a little different and more difficult.
Carlos Ancelotti is one of the most seasoned coaches in European clubs with very good reputation and record as well few months back there were rumours he is going to Brazil but currently nothing is clear about this with now he is going to completely his tenure here which is going to end in June 2024 hopefully after this we will have better things but right now after having impressive 2022 they were not good as expected in 2023 due to injuries and lack of better replacements now in this season they are doing good job and have few good players which can give them good results with now Mbappé saga is also having his own impact, but I have feeling Real Madrid management and fans need to skip this even he is one of the best player.

But now in coming season, we are going to have good competition for the trophies as Barcelona and Atlético Madrid are also doing their homework with Real Madrid is also having few targets hopefully they will achieve these and all will be interesting.

Bayern Munich won another season in Bundesliga and it's not surprising for us anymore to see this team winning the title of the league anymore because the recent years we saw the only team racing for the title was Bayern Munich, however in this season Dortmund lost many chances to beat Bayern Munich and win the Bundesliga title after years to failing they could with the title after more than ten years but in the ned Dortmund failed to win the ttle while they could easily earn that achievement by just winning the last game against Mainz.
Even in this season we have too many problems in Bayern Munich but still they were lucky to win Bundesliga and as things were going I believe this win happens just because of Dortmund's inconsistency because they were impressive with their performance throughout season but sadly in last few matches they lost their momentum and Bayern Munich have good chance to bring themselves into suitable situation for the win of another title.
 
One thing is amazing as on last day until last minute there was not clear who is going to win but sadly due to draw against Mainz at home and last minute goal from Musiala give another win to Bayern Munich in this season.
800  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will you sell Shib now? Am holding on: June 18, 2023, 04:32:31 PM
well its true that dropping in common, moreover the drops of shiba inu started earlier when there are many company and coins collapsed in the process, but honestly shiba inu performance has been subpar even compared with dogecoin which
also supposed to suffer the same thing like shiba inu.
I guess many just don't really favour this coin anymore though the trading volume is still kinda high, but regardless it seems the presence of newer meme coin like milady and pepe will definitely ate that share of shiba inu market capitalisation in the long run.
moreover the fact that elon rarely shill for it just make things worse, i'd definitely prefer to convert it to doge coin.
Why not convert them to some coin or token with actual utility and potential? I don't understand why people lock their money in tokens which are solely dependent on hype from either a celebrity like Elon Musk or the community and they have no potential themselves to get any organic growth, it is much better if someone buys another coin if they are about to hold it for some time because meme coins are not to be held for long.

One should only invest a very small amount in a meme coin and sell it immediately when they see they are in profit and if the token falls back, they should simply sell and forget about it instead of holding on to the tokens hoping for it to go up again which barely happens in meme coins.
