781  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Educating unemployed friends about Bitcoin on: October 28, 2023, 09:18:37 AM
First of all I am the only person in my area who has a basic understanding of Bitcoin. That is, in the region where I live, no one but me knows about Bitcoin.

The maximum number of friends I hang out with are unemployed. They are not uneducated they are all well educated in their respective positions but due to lack of adequate facilities they are unable to find any employment. When we walk together I talk to them about Bitcoin but they tell me that they have only heard about Bitcoin on various social media and they think that if anyone is involved in Bitcoin, the administration of our country will arrest them. Because it is through this kind of news that they are aware of Bitcoin. But when I tell them that I have a rough understanding of Bitcoin. Then they don't want to believe me when I tell them all about bitcoin they believe me. And I assure them if we all get involved in Bitcoin maybe our unemployment will go away. Because there are enough ways to earn money with Bitcoin.  

Out of all my friends two of my friends have some savings and when I told them about the investment they became very interested in investing but I didn't tell them only the positive aspects of the investment I told them the negative aspects. And I know the rest of my friends would also be interested in learning about Bitcoin but I just don't know how to start teaching them about it. Because bitcoin crypto currency is completely illegal in my country. So how can I help my friends in this regard?  

Hope you guys can give me proper feedback on this and help me move forward in helping them.

I like your intentions and suggestions the most. Because Bitcoin plays a significant role in eliminating the unemployment of the unemployed youth, if you have some amount of money, you will definitely never hesitate to take such a step. Because currently the price of Bitcoin is very low speed if you can definitely deposit some money in Bitcoin then your wealth will increase in the future. And your unemployment will be eliminated Bitcoin is one of the ways to eliminate unemployment. But since Bitcoin has come in, be careful with the legal aspects and use Bitcoin properly to never face losses and you must have the ability to accept risk.



But I wonder how bitcoin will help OP's friends escape unemployment? Does Bitcoin provide them with jobs and monthly income to make ends meet? And what can you do to ensure that investing in bitcoin will definitely help them make enough profit that they don't need to work and still have money to eat? Does investing in bitcoin do those things for you?

If you are looking for a job that pays in BTC, such as participating in a signature campaign, then I will agree with you, but if you say that investing in bitcoin will help you get out of unemployment, then I will doubt it. Bitcoin is just an asset, a means of payment, it is not a company or organization that provides you work.

talking about poor performance in domestic competitions actually for now, I think Lens is still a little better than seeing what happened with Lyon because they are the club that is the worst in the decline in performance if we do a comparison of this season with last season.
I do not understand what causes Lyon to be this bad, but it's definitely not something they should be proud of, it looks like they are doing quite terribly all year long and I am not really expecting them to do any better. Of course they could get a little better on the rankings a bit, but I think it's not really that easy to handle.

I think it would be smarter if they ended up with something that should be a little bit fixing what's going wrong inside the club. Is it the ownership? Is it the management? The football director? The operations? The staff and the managers? Whatever is the thing that makes them this bad, they need to fix that first because they can't make the team better without figuring out what's wrong first.
Internal politics is having deep causes for this all and if club management fail to settle things in near future then most chances we will have them relegated which could be surely the worst ever for the club and fans as well after 9 rounds they are not able to win any match and already having deficit of 11 goals which is surely not ideal for the team because now if we are able to check their fixtures list mostly they are having tough matches and with this look like they could be stayed at the bottom until new year and with this next round could be more terrible for them because having results like this most chances they could be not able to secure their survival and in last game they were not able to win match against another team at home which was also in relegation zone, so things are surely needed quick settlement.

Lyon and Lens are the two most surprising teams in this season. They definitely should have performed better compared to what they have done so far. Lyon is at the absolute bottom of the table without having a single win so far in this season. Lens is also not very far away from the relegation zone, to be honest. Lyon seems to be doomed for this season unless they somehow start performing well. And I really do not have any idea how they can do that. Lens still has hope in my opinion. After all, it has not been a long time since the season had started. Not even 10 matches have been played so far. So they still have a chance to improve their performance and actually get towards the top of the table.

Today 3rd T20 match of Namibia vs Zimbabwe team started.Namibia team won the toss and came to bat.They scored 90 runs in 13 overs.So far Namibia team has lost 3 wickets.Michael van Lingen is out for 10 runs from 13 balls.Nikolaas Davin 8  Got out for 10 runs. Gerhard Erasmus got out for 4 runs in 7 balls. If Zimbabwe team can perform well in the bowling line, Namibia team batsmen will be under a lot of pressure.
Namibia lost three important wickets in the first 5 overs and came under a lot of pressure, due to which they could not score more runs. Namibia's batting line-up was very poor in today's match, JJ Smit and JP Kotze and Jan Frylinck batted well but the strike rate was not good. Namibia ended up with 138 for the loss of 6 wickets. The way Zimbabwe batted in the second match, if they perform well today, they can easily win. Just 138 runs off 120 balls is not enough target in T20 format. I think Zimbabwe will win very easily today. Zimbabwe went down to bat at a target of 139 runs and scored 33 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 4 overs. Nick Welch is out for 10 runs off 5 balls. Need 106 runs to win with 9 wickets in hand. Let's see what happens in the end.
Today is the third match out of five between Namibia and Zimbabwe team. In past, both teams won 1,1 match and now both teams equally lead. In third match, Namibia won toss and decided to bat first. When Namibia batting overed, their performance was so bad and they scored 138 runs in 20 overs by losing 6 wickets. J.Frylinck batsman of Namibia team scored 41 runs in 39 balls and he hitted three 4s and one 6s. J.Kotze scored 31 runs from 28 balls and hitted three 4s and one 6s. Right now, Zimbabwe team need 68 runs in 60 balls and the lost only 2 wickets. Zimbabwe team easily will win this match. In my opinion, they will easily chase down remaining target of 68 runs in 40 balls.


The match just ended. Sikandar Raza was the hero for Zimbabwe in this match. He scored 52 by himself, and he also did that in a very short time. Zimbabwe was able to win the match in the end pretty easily. They won by six wickets. They also had eight balls remaining. Good performance from Zimbabwe. Namibia did a decent job. To be honest the target was not going to be enough. And the strike rate was also not good enough from them.

I think you are not alone who are having a hard time and struggle in acquiring Bitcoin due to insufficient funds. What if you try to save signature campaign earnings for that purpose? But yeah on my part I experience the same and signature campaign earnings I have right now is not enough for me and my family's needs. Investing in Bitcoin is to be honest not my priority right now but I have plans in the future.

If we talk about difficulties in life, there are even people who are so poor that they cannot have enough 3 meals a day, let alone invest. If you can still save and invest in bitcoin then you are still having a better life than many people. There will be no special formula for poor people to have money to invest in bitcoin other than working harder, working harder and saving more.

If the income from your signature campaign is not enough for you to cover your living expenses, why don't you find another job? Why do you keep depending on it and complaining that it's not enough for you? You should find a part-time job and combine it with the income from the signature campaign, I think your life will be better and you will have more money to invest. But it all depends on you, whether you want to do it or not.

i personally never seen any person getting rich from just investing in gold but i've seen plenty become millionaire from investing in bitcoin at the right time and at the right moment.
thats the difference.

If you look back at the history of gold over the past thousand years, you will also see that the value of gold has also increased significantly compared to decades ago. That proves there are many people who invested in gold and became rich, but because you were not born at that time, you never know who became rich by investing in gold  Cheesy Cheesy. Before gold became as big as it is today, it also had volatile prices and bull cycles, you have never read about its history, so you don't know about it.

Gold is an old asset and has reached a level of stability so comparing it to a new asset like bitcoin is quite lame. Just as many people will compare bitcoin to altcoins, many people invest in altcoins because they believe that bitcoin will no longer be very profitable. Bitcoin still offers significant returns compared to traditional assets, but there's no denying that bitcoin's returns are getting smaller. Do you see bitcoin rising millions of percent or thousands of percent these days? That happened years ago and now we will only have x10, x5...and they will get smaller and smaller as bitcoin gets bigger and bigger.
In my opinion, gold is one of the safest hedging tools so far. But gold is certainly not a profitable investment if we are in a business whirlwind. For some people, gold will always be seen as an important tangible asset when the financial crisis hits. Then the value of gold does not depend on authority policy, so there is no need to worry too much about changes in interest rates and the like and of course you are free from the risk of a banking crisis, because gold is not affected at all by the world banking system.

So gold will still be a priority compared to Bitcoin. Bitcoin does have another side that may be much more profitable, but because its value fluctuates greatly, some people are worried about investing on a large scale. And I also suspect that so far the development and interest in Bitcoin is also increasing.

Yes, gold is no longer a good investment as it has reached its limit, and it is more suitable as a hedging tool in these days. What I just want to point out is that in the past gold was also a very profitable investment, and also helped many people get rich, not completely useless like poodle63 said.

As for bitcoin, I am a bitcoin investor and I admit that today it has more potential than gold in terms of returns because it is a new asset. There have also been many people who have changed their lives thanks to investing in bitcoin and there will be more in the future. But that doesn't mean we can deny the role of gold in the past and present. We don't need to vilify another asset to make bitcoin shine brighter.

In theory, trading and holding Bitcoin looks easy, but in practice it is very difficult. It takes experience and patience so that the investment or trading we do produces profits

When it comes to making money, nothing is easy. Those who are mature enough and no longer depend on their parents will understand how difficult it will be to make money. And that task becomes even more difficult when we make money by investing because investing not only has profits but also risks, the higher the profits, the higher the risks.
A volatile and unpredictable market, not to mention thousands of risks are lurking around us. Therefore, investing in bitcoin is really not easy.

Xavi Alonso was the coach of Leverkusen last season. But Leverkusen's performance was not very good. Alonso dealt with the team's internal problems and tried to stabilize the team. And this season it shows that he has succeeded. Leverkusen's performance has been very consistent and strong since the start of this season. And it is through hard work that he has managed to bring the Leverkusen team to this position. And now I don't think he will leave Leverkusen. He has worked hard for this team. He will definitely stay with the team till the end of this season. If his relationship with the management is not good next season, he may decide to leave Leverkusen. But I don't think he will leave Leverkusen so soon.

They also had some personnel problems last season because of injuries, like Florian Wirtz who missed 50% of the games last season due to a cruciate ligament tear I believe, but now he is doing great. They also have Victor Boniface who was expected to do well, but not that well. He is one of the surprises this Bundesliga season after Guirassy from Stuttgart. He brings in great offensive power and accelerates the Leverkusen game immensely. Same thing with Jeremy Frimpong who was playing well in the 22/23 season already, but if he plays this whole season on that level, there is no doubt he will improve his stats by a lot in terms of goals and assists. It is a great team that Alonso has formed.


In my opinion, he should actually leave Leverkusen. Because he can do really well with a big club. I have been saying this for a long time. He should really choose to go to Real Madrid. Now, I understand you put up a valid reason for him to stay in Leverkusen. he has been able to make the team perform consistently and it looks like they will be giving a good competition for the title. But with this team, he is probably not going to achieve anything in the Champions League. But with other clubs like Real Madrid, he has the chance to do that as well.

This time manchester united fans were praising him from being able to save the penalty from copenhagen. I remember that when onana was being blamed by so many people. The same situation when he was also unable to safe non strong shoot from its opponent.
What a horrible thing. People will blame him again once he will make mistake and starts to praise him again after he will be doing brilliant save. The inconsistentcy of fans are also depending on the performance from onana.
Fans will blame him when he makes a mistake and will praise him when he is the hero of his team's victory. What happened to Onana at this time was also experienced by Harry Maguire, the only goal Manchester United got to get their first win was thanks to a goal created by Maguire. These two players were often sneered at by fans in previous matches because they were considered to be the culprits in Manchester United defeat. Today their names have become a hot topic of conversation due to their brilliant actions in helping Manchester United open up the opportunity to qualify for the round of 16.
Harry Maguire is not liked by Manchester United fans. And I've seen Harry Maguire suffer a lot of trolls. There were even rumors that Ten Hag would no longer keep Harry Maguire in Manchester United's squad. But today Harry Maguire's goal gave Manchester United their first win in the Champions League. The team got a narrow 1-0 win today after losing two matches in a row. United fans should really thank Harry Maguire.

I was not satisfied with Manchester United's performance in the home match. United should have played more attacking tactics. Copenhagen's players were confident. They resisted the onslaught until the last minute of the match. Copenhagen could have drawn the match if they had managed to score from a penalty shootout in extra time after 90 minutes.
and now do we deserve to give praise to Maguire and Onana? yeah sure. because actually the bad criticism of Maguire and Onana is just fake for me, even though many people say that Man United bad performance is all because of weak goalkeepers, but everything I say is proven that Onana is a reliable goalkeeper and this bad thing happened because he did not maybe Onana will perform optimally when the defense line is bad and all big team goalkeepers will definitely continue to concede goals if they have a bad defense line but in yesterday match the efforts made by Maguire and Onana paid for all the bad talk from the fans and even though I had doubts about Maguire performance but I realize that he still has a good chance at MU, I just dont give bad criticism like that.
I still remember everyone who said Onana was bad here Cheesy

I thought Onana was a pretty reliable goalkeeper from the start. However, Manchester United fans insulted him a lot. And a few days ago I heard rumors that Manchester United are looking for a new goalkeeper. Manchester United's defense was very weak. Expecting more from a goalkeeper when the defense is weak is nothing but foolish. Even though the defense is strong, if Onana does poorly even after the defensive players perform well, then maybe Manchester United needs to find a replacement for Onana. Now the Manchester United team is slowly stabilizing. Injured players are returning to the squad. If we still see poor performances from Maguire and Onana then perhaps the United management will look for their replacements. But I think we will see better performances from Harry Maguire and Onana in the future.

Which one is better if I want to invest and trade bitcoins.

In my opinion, both methods have their own risks and advantages. It depends on the person, which method they prefer. But personally I prefer to be the holder because it is safer and does not cause panic. All I need is time for the price of bitcoin to rise to a high price.

I'm not good at trading so I prefer holding bitcoin. However, for those who are experts in trading, maybe trading will be more profitable because we can get daily, weekly or monthly profits

You're right, both have their own risks and advantages. It would be wrong to assume that bitcoin trading is risky and investing is risk-free. Investing and holding requires us to have basic knowledge about the bitcoin market, especially patience. If we do not have the knowledge and cannot be patient for many years, our investment will definitely suffer losses. But it is true that investing is less risky than trading because trading requires more knowledge, the short-term volatility of bitcoin is harder to predict making trading riskier. But if someone has the knowledge, experience and takes advantage of that short-term volatility, it can generate very good profits. So it can be said that both have advantages and disadvantages and it depends on each person's choice.
792  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin gift to wife. on: October 24, 2023, 12:47:15 AM
I agree with your point of view on this. For an important day like a wedding day or a date, we should give meaningful gifts that are appropriate to the situation, and should not give unrelated things. In OP's case, if his wife knows and is passionate about bitcoin, he can gift bitcoin to her at any time. Giving her bitcoin on her wedding day might make her happy because she understands what it is, but what about the people around her? They don't know anything about bitcoin and came to congratulate the wedding, share the joy with the bride and groom, but they don't understand what's going on, which will make the party no longer interesting.

At the end of the day, it's all about money, bitcoin or gold or any gift is money, but we need to give gifts that suit the situation and context rather than just doing what we want.

OP told that his wife is aware of Bitcoin. However, Bitcoin as a gift, that is basically just money. That isnt very romantic, that is just another creative way to give money. Even though it is popular, but giving money as a present is simplest kind of a present. I would say that is might be similar that person did not bother much thinking what to give. Just like a last minute decision. For Bitcoin to be a present that will be remembered or understood, the person who receives it must be into deeply crypto, and people who surround that person must be also in crypto. Otherwise how would that person share the joy of a present. I bet it was a quest for his wife to explain her parents what exactly OP gave her as a present.



I agree with both of you, if we are talking about romance and to add some excitement to the wedding then bitcoin is an inappropriate gift.  but anyway, this is OP and his wife's wedding, it's their decision and they feel happy with it.  but if it were me, I wouldn't use bitcoins at a wedding or any other occasion, it's more like a boast or boast.  if we want to teach our wife about bitcoin or give her bitcoin, we have plenty of time to do that.

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

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

OP used bitcoin to pay for his wedding? I don't think he did that because if you read his previous thread he said that bitcoin is illegal in their country. He invested in bitcoin in silence but then came up with the idea of getting bitcoin as a wedding gift on their wedding day, but following the this thread, he gave bitcoin after they got married.

His wife also knows about bitcoin and once they decide to invest in bitcoin together, it means he will definitely teach her everything about bitcoin. Also, it's not that we need to share some of our bitcoins with those closest to us, but we should find a way for them to have access to all of our bitcoins if something unexpected happens with us.
793  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin gift to wife. on: October 23, 2023, 08:49:17 AM
Tbh, I still dont think it is a very good idea to give Bitcoin as a gift at wedding or other event that supposed to have romantic notes in it. The only acceptable scenario is when you both are deep into cryptocurrency. Otherwise it looks like a investment, than a present. Similar to case when on St. Valentines day you give her a ring, invite her to a restaurant with candles, and she gives you socks and shaving foam.
In our country, the type of gifts that can be received is something they will use to start their family, something they can use in the future, or if ever they necessarily need it. Normally, gifts such as money or life insurance were also being used as a gift. In my personal view, Bitcoin can be treated the same as I mentioned, providing an investment for your wife may not be romantic for you, but knowing that your partner has an investment plan for both of you, is also being romantic and being practical at the same time.

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

I agree with your point of view on this. For an important day like a wedding day or a date, we should give meaningful gifts that are appropriate to the situation, and should not give unrelated things. In OP's case, if his wife knows and is passionate about bitcoin, he can gift bitcoin to her at any time.

His contract renewal is quite long until 2027, and that is good enough for Brighton to have him in the team. He is one of the midfielders who is quite productive, but other clubs also have the desire to get him. This season he has scored 3 goals and 3 assists in 9 matches with Brighton. and his performance last season was also not bad, he was a hardworking type of player and it was not wrong for Brighton to lock him in to stay in the team because if he was released and taken by another club, it would be bad for Brighton who would experience a lack of attack power.
Kaoru Mitoma is a key players that Brighton currently has, so it is only natural that Brighton retains this key players on a long term contract Since joinned Brighton, Kaoru Mitoma has appeared impressive and the contribution thats Kaoru Mitoma has made to the club is so great thats Brighton regrets having to sell this players, because it is feared that Brighton will have difficulty in recruiting player who improved their performance and currently Brighton really needs Kaoru Mitoma to faced several matchs in the Premier League which are of course increasingly difficult and the competition is increasingly fierce.
That is true and very natural if Brighton extends the contract until 2027.
And now Manchester United, Manchester City and Barcelona have to accept the fact that there has been failure in the intentions of these three teams who wanted to bring Kaoru Mitoma into their squad.
But this extension could also be way for Brighton to set higher price for Kaoru Mitoma if someone wants it.

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

He is performing pretty well. And we have to remember that he is only 26 years old. That means he is going to have a lot to offer to the team. He has also contributed to goals. I can see he has played nine matches so far and his performance was really good in those matches. I absolutely understand and support the contract extension from Brighton. Brighton had been performing pretty well in this season. Even though the recent performance has not been the best I think they will need him to be in the club for being able to perform well consistently.

We never imagined that 2019 champions England would perform so badly. As England have won only against Bangladesh and lost the remaining three matches, England's chances of winning will also become difficult in the later matches as well.
They are approaching the ODI game in the T20I mode that is why they are failing. I didn't expect this to happen at all and today everyone learnt a lesson about how someone shouldn't approach their game when chasing no matter how deep their batting line up is.
For the last wicket they had a 70 run partnership which helped them to stay away from the bottom of the table but from now to reaching the top 4 seems quite an impossible task for ENG.
New Zealand can qualify to semifinal
Indian can qualify to semifinal
South Africa can qualify to semifinal
Australia can qualify to semifinal,
Australia can beat easily Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Netherlands even England.
But Pakistan can qualify ,if Pakistan beat Bangladesh, Afghanistan, New Zealand, South Africa and England...
In 2023 World Cup, India is in the best position as it is being played in their home country and they will try their best to play in the final. India also gets an added advantage from the visitors as hosts. Every player in India played very well, batting line is strong and bowling. New Zealand are in good form they are playing well in every match. I think the final could be between India and New Zealand. If Pakistan can play well in their next matches then they also have a chance to play in the semi-finals. Pakistan's chances of winning the match with Bangladesh are very high. Along with Sri Lanka, maybe there is a fifty fifty chance for Pakistan to win. Now finally let's see how well Pakistan can play their next matches to play in the semi finals.
India holds the home country advantage as a well as have the best squad which was playing good cricket unlike the match situation. Rest of the teams were also very competing. Tomorrow we'll know whether it is New Zealand or India to take the lead position on the points table. Every team is giving their best, but the small mistakes were changing the match. I find India team strong, but once they reach Semifinals they'll be over confident or they'll be experiencing pressure playing on the home ground. Both could be difficult thing to overcome and win. Lets see what India can do.

India's biggest advantage is their familiarity with the pitch. For this they are getting a bit more benefits. Also the Indian team is in great form now. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in particular are in very good form. And this is why India is able to score high in every match. Although India's bowling line-up is a bit weak, they are able to do well in every match due to the excellent performance of their batsmen.
I am sure New Zealand and India will qualify for the semi-finals. However, it is not predictable which two teams will be in the third and fourth place in the table. I think South Africa, Pakistan, Australia have equal chances.

Mainz o5 vs Bayern munich


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

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

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

Bayern Munich lead 2-1 at the end of the first half. I don't think Mainz will score against Munich. Mainz is playing well in their home match. My guess was that Mainz would play completely defensive in this match. But they are trying to attack a lot. In the first half he made a total of 8 shots while Bayern Munich players made 9. Mainz is not playing defensively. The match turned out to be very enjoyable.

Coman scored the first goal of the match and Harry Kane scored the second goal. Munich took a 2-0 lead in just 16 minutes. However, Mainz's players continued to score. Anthony Caci's goal in the 43rd minute ended the first half at 2-1. The second half is expected to be quite exciting.

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

The majority here are maximalists and bitcoin holders, so it is not surprising that they do not like centralized exchanges and never store assets on them. I believe what everyone says because everyone is aware of the risks of storing assets on centralized exchanges. But if someone is a day trader and says so then they are lying because no trader has enough time and money to deposit and withdraw money at the end of the day after trading. 

I'm still using centralized exchanges for my P2P transactions but I'm holding my bitcoins with a hardware wallet and I don't need nor care about the small profits from staking or trading in day. Not everyone is in a hurry to make money as fast as you and take risks when staking your crypto assets on exchanges, don't impose your thoughts on others.

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

I think bitcoin is also part of the world economy so if there is a war, just destabilizing the world economy will definitely affect bitcoin. That's just like when the war between Russia and Ukraine broke out, every market panicked and bitcoin was not immune. I still hope the 4-year cycle will repeat, but we need to note that, in previous cycles, we did not encounter crises, wars or inflation like today. So it's hard to be sure that everything will stay the same and nothing will change. Bitcoin is getting bigger and more popular, so to say that it is not tied to the economy is not entirely true.

The current war has not caused too much instability, but with the supporting parties also being strongly divided, I fear the war will spread and become more serious. But let's hope the war ends soon because it brings no benefit to the world.

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

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

If evaluated fairly, it is clear that bitcoin is still considered a risky asset by the world rather than a safe haven. So, thinking that BTC is not affected by war or the world economy is not true at all.

I also think like you, bitcoin price will improve when the general world situation becomes more stable, but if the unstable situation continues, worse things will happen to bitcoin. However, there are still cases where bitcoin still increases in price and ignores the world economic situation unless manipulation occurs. I still think that the market is manipulated more than based on supply and demand, so if bitcoin prices increase while the economy is in crisis, it will be manipulated by sharks and market makers.

I won't say there is absolutely no chance of Pakistan winning. This is a much more difficult task, but it is not impossible. The outfield is very fast. If Pakistan's batsmen can stay at the crease, they have a chance to win this match. Scoring runs will not be too difficult if Pakistan's batsmen can stay at the crease. But the performance of Pakistan's batsmen is very erratic. They cannot be trusted.

Pakistani openers Imam Ul Haque and Abdullah Shafique have started well. Pakistan collected 40 runs in 5 overs. The team has not lost any wicket yet. They are batting very smoothly. Abdullah scored 10 runs from 11 balls and Imam Ul Haque remained unbeaten with 25 runs from 19 balls. If the opening pair is prolonged, the match will become more competitive.
Chasing down a score of 360+ is never easy, no matter what the pitch is like. But runs are coming from Pakistani batters, which is a good sign. However, they need to be cautious about not losing wickets quickly because if they lose 2/3, it puts them under pressure. Still, I believe Pakistan has a chance to chase this total, especially on this flat track with a small boundary. It's an opportunity for them to score and win the game. But, Australia is the favorite, and I think they might win comfortably.

Batting for a target of 368 is difficult to win, and very difficult. But it is not impossible. And that's what I mean. It is possible. But the top order players must play well. Australia scored 284 runs from their two openers. Pakistan need to get at least 150 runs from their two openers. Otherwise it will be impossible to win such a big target. Also Babar and Rizwan are in good form. We saw that they batted very responsibly against Sri Lanka in big targets as well. And that's why I think the match will be very competitive. But Pakistan's chances of winning are now said to be 20-25%. Australia's chances of victory are high if they can do controlled bowling.

In the end, Australia's innings ended on 367 runs. They should have collected more than 400. Because the two openers batted brilliantly. The team lost 9 wickets to collect these 367 runs.

After collecting 259 runs from the first wicket pair, the team could not collect 300 runs. The middle order batted very poorly. Apart from the two openers, no other player can bat well. Australia collected only 28 runs in the last 6 overs. I expected some better batting from Australia's middle order.

Pakistan's fielding was not good enough today. If the fielding was good, they could have stopped the Australian team within 350. Shaheen Shah Afridi bowled brilliantly today. If one more bowler like Afridi did well today, Australia would not have collected so much. He took 5 wickets for just 54 runs in 10 overs. However, let's see how Pakistan performs batting against such a big target.
After 33 overs, Australia's total was 245/0. In the last 17 overs they collected 122 runs and lost 9 wickets. They averaged a little over 7 runs per over. The batting of Australia's two openers looked like they would deliver a target of over 400. But after the two openers are out, no batsman can bat responsibly. The two openers put together 284 runs today and Pakistan gave 25 extra runs. The collection of the remaining 9 batsmen of Australia was only 58 runs. Had Maxwell or Smith been able to stay at the crease, the team could have collected around 400.

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

I won't say there is absolutely no chance of Pakistan winning. This is a much more difficult task, but it is not impossible. The outfield is very fast. If Pakistan's batsmen can stay at the crease, they have a chance to win this match. Scoring runs will not be too difficult if Pakistan's batsmen can stay at the crease. But the performance of Pakistan's batsmen is very erratic. They cannot be trusted.

Pakistani openers Imam Ul Haque and Abdullah Shafique have started well. Pakistan collected 40 runs in 5 overs. The team has not lost any wicket yet. They are batting very smoothly. Abdullah scored 10 runs from 11 balls and Imam Ul Haque remained unbeaten with 25 runs from 19 balls. If the opening pair is prolonged, the match will become more competitive.
