861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: October 21, 2022, 12:33:34 PM
Democracy is almost nonexistent in a lot of countries right now which are basically the sponsors of democracy. Obviously, the countries are run by either big-time mafias or big-time businessmen. They are only interested in money, nothing more, and they don't care about anything else. It is also obvious that the media is also controlled by them in a similar way. As a result, people generally have no bad impressions and no negative ideas about them. Or even worse people actually don't have any idea about them. All the politicians are very corrupt. They only care about money. That is a big reason why most countries are facing big problems.
Democracy is only visible in the name. In the pages of a book or in the constitution of a country. But in reality nothing of this is constant. And almost all of us know this picture and politicians believe in intransigence in the name of democracy. Its influence is now eternal and in cricket has now taken a huge shape. Good cricketers are disappearing and corrupt people are taking control of cricket. All in all, it can be said that the doom of cricket is approaching.
Friends, we are here just for cricket particularly about format ODI, but things are going into wrong way even this is also related to sports and cricket but still we need to change this topic and if someone wants to talk about democracy then surely he can create topic in political discussion which is just for this all thanks for understanding.

Now in near future we have no ODI game which is talk able here so better don't bump this thread is better for all of us because if we started this politics then surely things can go into wrong way which is not good for all of us here in India and Pakistan peoples are furious and mostly started things which are surely not suitable for this topic.
862  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Want KYC at Crypto Casinos During Registration? on: October 20, 2022, 05:42:11 PM
My question to the Bitcointalk community is this one: if it were up to you, would you keep the current status quo and have crypto casinos brand themselves as no KYC, only to ask for identity verification during withdrawal requests or big wins, or would you rather be required to complete KYC during the registration process and decide there and then whether you want to do that or not?
Crypto casinos shouldn't brand themselves as a no KYC casino if they will be asking it later on. That was misleading and it can affect them in a negative way but they rather say that KYC is non-mandatory and there is a possibility that it will be asked later on depending on the size of the amount the gambler is dealing with or depending on the status of their account like if they have done some violations or their accounts are tagged as suspicious.

If I were to choose I would rather be required to do the KYC during the sign-up process and I will think twice if I will do it or not. Sometimes I can do it if I think the casino is trusted enough.

We will see the race between them, of course, if Ajax is still unstable with coordination.
ajax has already recovered, look at their results from the last 2 games. they won and are at the top, of course they will be champions
Seem yes, I just compare Ajax with team on Champions League that got a big lost with the same team, Napoli. I don't know why they seemed just give up, like helpless and doesn't have the power to rise. This is different when Ajax fight with Eredivisie team, I'm not sure if they changed the focus right now and have a different target, but when they focusing in eredivise only, of course the title is on their hand.
Now this season is going to be difficult for them as they already sold their few top quality players for big amount and coach is also new with this all they already have the worst results in Champions League but here in Eredivisie they have chance even it's also not easy because we are watching few good things in this season with Feyenoord, AZ Alkmaar and PSV all are in good shape and have enough strength for giving them challenge.

Ajax are still superiors in Eredivisie, but this season is going to be difficult for them, and they have to done tough work if they want to win and hold their control on this league which is in trouble with the improved quality of few other teams and most chances now their main focus could be here instead of going into Europa Cup which is also not easy.
864  Economy / Economics / Re: How to save as food inflation jumps more than 11% in a year on: October 20, 2022, 10:40:32 AM
Great tips. And I am actually doing them all. Another thing we did at home is we plant some manageable kinds of stuff like vegetables and fruits in front and at the back of our house. And I live in a small lot only with like 15 to 20 square meters of space. It first started when I stopped my plan to make a terrace in front of our house due to these hard times. One time while eating a sweet watermelon, I threw its seeds in front of our house. I didn't expect for it to grow up so we take care of it. To make it short, we harvested 9 big sweet watermelons before the plant died. Because of that incident, we already planted pumpkins, bitter gourds, chili plants, and many more that are not demanding of space.
Yes, I like the tips in this thread too. They can be very useful in times like these.

From my own experience I can add that we can catch fishes if living close to a river, sea or pond. We can pick berries and nuts if there's a forest nearby. We, humans, were hunter-gatherers for most of our existence, so, we are wired for this activity, and that's why we like it so much.
These are not the type of tips that we need right now in the year 2022, when we are so close to 2023. The industrial age already happened, we should have incredibly cheap food all around us, it is something that we cannot ignore at all, the food that we eat should have been something we do not even consider anymore, and if we wanted it then it would have happened that way.

Because, crops and meat that we eat could be farmed in a big enough scale that if we put billions of dollars into it as a nation, we could grow enough to feed everyone, let alone making a profit, but we don't, that’s the problem, there aren't enough people who work in growing food industry.
865  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why DCA Strategy on: October 20, 2022, 06:03:51 AM
And Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is one of the doings of a lot long term Bitcoin believers because if you are doing Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) you will not enjoy profits in the short term as you cannot guarantee that for every buy you execute it will immediately pump.
So, you need to be patience too if you want to adapt Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA).
I found out that in DCA, it's also possible to buy when the price is at the dip. This means that we can expect a short pump and we can sell our btc for short term gains but I think most of the time, DCA users don't mind if the price is high or low but what is important for them is to follow their buying schedule. They are in for long term anyway so they know that the price can always rise higher than on what they currently or previously see.

I believe that DCA got even more popular this year because people starting to get that the bear persists to continue so instead of their usual strategy which is to all in, they try this new start called DCA and slowly accumulate after each decline.
866  Economy / Economics / Re: 23 Countries Now Abandoning US Dollar on: October 19, 2022, 08:12:25 PM
Dollar was economic defending currency till now.The reason behind his was United States Dollars was stored as asset by many countries,their GDP was counted in the Dollars.If the dollar was Abandoning like you said, the dollar value was reduced huge in world markets.The small developing and under developing countries economy was increased.Because they are free from dollars,United can’t interfere in such small countries economical decisions.The world economy will increase by this action.
It’s going to be a tough deal because of one main reason, which is the fact that US is still involved in all of these nations economy, and yes they may want to stop, or maybe they won't, we do not know that, but even if they did, it’s going to take years before they can do that in which period USA could grow stronger again.

I understand that there is a growing USA hate these days, but that happened after Iraq invasion as well, and we have seen how they didn't really change anything in the world, even after 2008 crisis it didn't change anything, and right now it won't change a thing neither, nations may hope to abandon it, but they usually end up failing.
867  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 19, 2022, 03:36:40 PM
Both Roma and Lazio have to work hard because other clubs like Inter Milan, Juventus and Udinese won't let them get the fourth position easily. That one means a ticket to play in Champions League that in turn brings more income for the club.
Serie A has been very competitive this season. Many teams are fighting for the title. And the performance of the teams is very good. Interestingly, Inter Milan and Juventus are seventh and eighth in the points table. Juventus and Inter will certainly continue to fight to qualify for the Champions League. And so we are not sure how long teams like Roma and Lazio can keep their position unchanged in the points table. But their performance is now very stable. If they can maintain such consistency, they will be able to keep their position unchanged in the points table.
This season is surely having a good start for few teams, and they are doing good job for title race which is positive development but sadly inter and Juventus are missing in this action even it's not late for them, and they can recover, but now they need hard fought for going at top which is surely competitive in presence of Napoli, Atlanta and AC Milan with Roma and Lazio are playing as outsider which is also good because these both teams are having good squads and quality players.

Udinese is here as surprise package but most chances they could down, but this round is surely going to be entertaining as Napoli is going to visit Roma and Atlanta is going to host Lazio which is going to have big impact on league table.
868  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - 🦉 Drake, UFC, Watford Main Partner ⚽ 🥊 on: October 19, 2022, 02:39:50 PM
Frankly speaking it is the first time I follow Drake's stream, I watched it for the first 15-20 minutes only as I had something else to do.
Luckily I was in front of my PC and I opened Stake + telegram desktop at the same time while I did my work.
Yes it is a nice bonus, around 75% of my monthly bonus but unfortunately I lost it all eventually but at least I could play and increase my progress to Plat 4  Grin
15% to go for Plat 4, means that I have to wager around $225k to reach it.
As usual, I wont force myself to wager because it is getting closed to the next reward.
I am always shocked to see people at high plat vip levels, I have been gambling here since the start, and I am nowhere close to those levels, and I would have to wager 5x what I wagered to be plat 4, which is really shocking to see how much people wager.

I recently saw a guy who wagered 300k with only $400 deposit, that was the wildest thing ever, if I deposited $400, I am pretty sure I would run out by 10k wagered probably, and not what it is right now, in the end it’s something I admire, it’s a great understanding of how wagering works, and that means you guys do get a lot more in return than what I get, but I also deposit quite low amounts as well.

like the other said the bitcoin price touch new ath and that the time to sell some of bitcoin enjoy profit after crypto winter and this maybe is gonna be huge ATH since the economic maybe already going to full recovery
Everyone knows about the current ‍situation of Bitcoin. We cannot yet say that Bitcoin is in a good position. If the premonitions of an economic downturn are reversed, Bitcoin will take a turn for the worse. But there is no doubt that Bitcoin will be bullish again. Next year 2024 we may get the year of Bitcoin again.
I am guessing that bitcoins year will be around 2025 instead of 2024, the price could go up more than what it is right now until that day, but the real increase will happen in 2025 if you ask me. What I mean is, by 2025 we could see it be 50k to 70k range, that would be a good increase and everyone will think that we already went up a lot.

But, what I believe will happen is that by 2025 after a certain time passed over halving, we are going to end up seeing something like 200k+ and that will be the "real" increase, that’s a very important difference. That would be the thing that I am waiting for right now and when it happens I may actually retire comfortably.
870  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: October 18, 2022, 03:04:40 PM
A 5 days match cannot become appealing for cricket lovers in an era where T20 format dominates. You simply cannot spend an entire day watching cricket unless you have nothing to do on that day. I do not think ICC is in fault in any ways. It just that 5 days cricket is no longer the only option left for cricket fan. I also believe that this format will stay for sometime now and gradually will fade away.
We are fewer peoples here on this forum and mostly talking things again and again even right now test match is not appealing but still one of the most entertaining format with the introduction of this T20 now it's also having better results and entertainment which is surely a good change from one decade back when we have mostly bore ending of test matches after five days now we have most result in three or four days which is the biggest change for this format and this could be stayed at his best for many years in current shape because we have no positive changes for this.

Just need to do few things which can bring more entertainment but here so called Pig-3 or Pig-4 are surely doing negative impact on this game and this format for their own interest which is never been good deep money links surely involved and things could be not in good way if they will not sit and talk about all concerns which are having to be solved very quickly.
871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2022/23 Season on: October 18, 2022, 02:38:01 PM
There is a Jorge Jesus reality in Turkey now. He leveled up to Fenerbahçe in a short time. Galatasaray and Beşiktaş fans are looking at him and making comparisons. That's why they are grumbling. I think they are right. Because Galatasaray and Beşiktaş have very high quality squads. But they are not at the desired level in terms of success.

Fenerbahce will play away with Ankaragücü tonight. Last week, they managed to defeat Karagümrük with an interesting struggle. They beat AEK Larnaca in Europe on weekdays. It goes without saying that their performance is very good. They are the favorites against Ankaragücü.
And Fenerbahçe won the match against MKE Ankaragücü with wonderful fluid football. I can safely say now that even with some problematic defence strategy and rather mediocre goalkeeper, they are the best performing team between big 3. They definitely deserves winning the title this season and I am telling this as Galatasaray fan. Galatasaray and Beşiktaş don't have weak squads, their managers are just worse than Jorge Jesus.
Surely a good win for Fenerbahçe and with this win now they are at second spot just behind Adana Demirspor by one point and having one match in hand in last match their defence were good and not allowed home team to do something special with this win now things are going to be clear for top spots as next week they are going to face another tough challenger which is currently at third spot and have amazing stuff in this season with concede just three goals from nine games and right now they also can go through for title race with this performance.

There is no doubt currently Fenerbahçe is best for title race, but It's too early because we have very long way to go and teams can suffer from injuries and many other factors can also create problems for any team but right now Fenerbahçe is best team in Turkish League with their squad strength and coach strategy.
872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Casinos vs money laundering. on: October 18, 2022, 08:24:20 AM
What if the laundered cash is from someone the casino knows and is trying to cover. Do you think it will be seized? That will not happen. Or you think casinos do not hide criminals? Forget the AML and KYC thing that goes on that make us think everyone is documented, not so. There will be few exceptions of people who gamble at the casinos but do not pass through all that eventhough there is AML in their TOS. There is often a back door to every situation and those who know it will exploit it.
What I can say about this is that this world that we live in is not perfect. Politicians are the ones that are directing how a community should be, to be organized and make the community to survive, but politicians are one of the most corrupt people on earth. Because banks are following laws and regulations, that does not mean some bank managers and officials, even bank owners not to be corrupt. Most of the fiat money laundered are in banks. But what I will just tell you is that AML and KYC reduce online crime activities, nothing can completely eliminate online criminality.
I think some police are also corrupt so even if we say they caught a money launderer, those police can demand them a good amount of money for them to be released in the cell or they won't be arrested at all. Indeed that the world we are living is not perfect but at least not all are like that. We are thankful that some of them chooses to be good and choose their dignity.

In terms of online casino, I think the ones that will do that are the casinos which are not trusted but casinos that are the top are already earning huge so they won't receive bribes anymore only to allow criminals to launder money on their platform because they are afraid that someone will know this negotiation or the criminals themselves are the ones who will expose them.

I play gambling so yes. Ill be glad to join my idol on his game, it is like another way of showing a support. I am not that good enough when it comes to sportsbetting and I mostly follow my friends' bets. If I can follow them then why not this one?

When drake is more superior to them. This isn't the first time drake posted a bet slip, and his last game were also a win. That is why many people likes to ride some of his bets, thinking that drake already have a good experience on this game. He also risk huge amount of money, which can be a sign that he is confident with his picks. Unfortunately, the recent game is a loss but we can just assume that it's part of gambling. Not all times we can be a winner but we can always try again next time.

Understand if its my own risk. Currently im just looking for another income to sustain. I'm mostly a gamer playing D2, LoL etc.
It is your own risk because it's your capital is the one that you are using, not him or mine but we are only here to give you advices since you ask for it. It was great that you woke up from the reality that playing video games alone won't get you anywhere but it can only be a waste of time.

If you are a not a kid anymore then you should focus on grinding the real way like what you are planning now, looking for a source of income. Mining can be one of it only if you have cheap sources of energy but if you only entered a little earlier then mining is easily doable even using a graphics card but right now, I think you will need a real mining hardware to be able to mine a btc.
875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Social Betting Platform - Bet Your Beans - Betting Application Feedback on: October 17, 2022, 02:24:50 PM
for me the most frustrating aspect of crypto betting nowadays is kyc.

everywhere u go, all platforms wants to grab ur data before allowing u to withdraw anything.

i miss sites like directbet.eu where u did not even had to make an account to bet.

it was all on chain betting with instant payouts as soon as the outcome of a bet was achieved.
I don't mind doing a KYC on an old reputable gambling site but what I only dislike is sometimes KYC verification takes time to complete. Maybe gambling site owners can't mandate it during the sign up process so that we players can continue playing the game while our KYC is being processed in the background.

Even though KYC is becoming a thing and many casinos are now implementing it, there are still sites which doesn't require it and one of it is this site being offered to us by the op. You can always play on them. On chain gambling sites that you mentioned are not active anymore. They are overcome by the off chain betting. You better accept this fact and move on.

wowww  Bayern München : SC Freiburg 5:0

Bayern once again wins impressively in the 1. Bundesliga. 5:0 against Freiburg who were on place 2 before.
and what is striking about Bayern is that they had 5 different goal scorers today. that is actually rare with such good teams.
gnabry,choupo moting,sane and mane  Grin  ..and finally sabitzer are the goal scorers from today.
Bayern now on place 2 behind Union Berlin who won 2:o against Dortmund
With this quality and performance now many will understand why bookmakers having not good odds for Bayern Munich even they are in bad shape and have not good results, but they can change things very quickly without any big excuse, and they also have ability to demolish any team in any condition with this result now they are second in league table, and now they attack is also scored most goals in this season with the score of 30 within just ten games.
 
Today we have many goalscorers in Bayern Munich goals list which is also good change for them Sane, Gnabry and Mane all doing their best which is positive change for them and with this they can do much better in coming matches now they already in second round of Champions League and second spot in Bundesliga is giving them positive change after poor start of the season.

The result of the match was completely unexpected, Liverpool who were not favorites at all turned out to be able to give Manchester City the first defeat, today match was quite tough and hard but Liverpool were still able to maintain the awesomeness of Anfield today and made Manchester City go home embarrassed.
Congratulations To Liverpool   Grin Grin Grin
Here I am not agreed with you about this statement this was no unexpected because Liverpool is still one of the best club in Europe, and they were on bad streak but surely now with this result things could be positive for them, and they could be at the better spot in coming weeks right now we end ten round of this season and many ups and downs still to come for many clubs which is surely going to be routine business, so we can expect better spot for Liverpool.

Haaland which is currently top scorer in Premier League in this season fail to break Liverpool defence which was the biggest success for them and surely now they can feel good because this is going to be turning point for them in this season and their change of fortune.

I think that quite a lot of people in this world are forced to use a VPN. 
However, its use has two main disadvantages. 
VPN opens access to some sites blocked in specific countries.  But at the same time, some sites in the same country are blocked if they go through the servers of the VPN itself.  This makes it necessary to constantly turn the VPN on or off on devices and gadgets.  And it's definitely very inconvenient. 
This is one of the downsides of using the internet.
No, no one is forced to use a VPN. VPN's are only optional and use to conceal your self but it's being misused for some illegal activities and there are some who are using it to access blocked sites. The one that you said there isn't really a disadvantage because it's easy to turn off a VPN if you want to browse again the sites that your country supports.

The true disadvantage of using a VPN is that if the casino catches you, your funds are going to get confiscated and then you will also be ask to submit your KYC. We shouldn't only turn off our VPN but we need to uninstall it for our own safety. I am sure that there are still casinos out there that are fully legal in our country.
879  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: #btc Hashrate Reach New ATH a day ago, will the bull run has begun? on: October 16, 2022, 06:00:39 PM
If we come to 2 years back when Hashrate reached New ATH, I have optimistic that bitcoin price will happen back to the ATH price or to be more create a new ATH, but I don't know exactly, maybe the next day, month, or year, or 10 years from now.

Many people said we can't compare the Hashrate with the price because this is all about the ecosystem, the more people mining that will be stronger the ecosystem (bitcoin network). but my feeling sure this situation is very related to the price, I can't tell you the reason,  so if you have to, don't hesitate to start shopping bitcoin now, hurry up, so what are your feeling?
History can repeat itself so it's possible that your thoughts are true and this increase in hashrate can be a good sign that the bull run is going to start. Before btc creates a new ath, it will first recover back to its old ath.

Hashrate maybe all about btc's ecosystem but an increase in hashrate could give people a confidence to join btc if they haven't yet or invest more if they are an existing user because they think btc network is now more stronger and now more secure than before. An increase in hashrate could also mean that there are now more btc transactions going on. Existing number of miners can't handle the pressure so there is a need for new miners.
880  Economy / Economics / Re: Court win for worker fired for not keeping webcam on on: October 15, 2022, 07:46:51 PM
What is the difference between leaving the web cam open or having a surveillance camera in the workplace?
I understand the idiosyncrasy, but both things seem the same.
The problem lies in the attempt of many employers to take advantage of workers and interfere even in their personal affairs to enhance profits, such as controlling family visits or the number of births and others.
If it was a formal workplace then there must be CCTV's on there, not only to watch the employees if they are working properly but also to watch out for the thieves and other crimes which can occur. If we work from home then it's rare that an employer require their employees to open their webcam while working, unless if there is a meeting.

In my opinion, what the employers did there is valid as long as it was still under the working hour but the cam must be off during break times or when the work has ended already. This is for the employers to know that their employees are not slacking off during working hours or they don't do some cheating.
