I think this decision is taken to reduce gambling addiction. I honestly do not know about this in depth. But I personally think that when gambling is allowed in a country, the money sometimes gets laundered between different channels and gambling houses and casinos can actually invade the tax. Probably that’s why the decision was taken. But I am just assuming it, but this is a bold decision taken by the Chinese government. Of course, the Chinese government must have a plan in mind for which they have taken this decision. But my opinion is they could set limitations or license systems rather than shutting down totally.

If he was not under any kind of influence, how can he get tested positive though? And I think everyone is going to say that they are not under any kind of influence/taken drugs ever. But they are also getting tested positive.

So I don’t think it is actually a very good idea for anyone to actually trust what they are saying about, not doing any kind of drugs or taking any performance-enhancing substance. I am not trying to disrespect any fighter. I am just trying to say that this has happened before and this is also definitely the only way to prove if he is taking anything or not.

I also have a few friends like that, and I think you and I are not alone in this situation. Many people missed out, and now they want to start getting involved with bitcoin. But honestly, I don't want to give advice to anyone, especially friends because I don't want our friendship to involve money. If I give advice and their investment succeeds nothing will happen, but if their investment fails they will blame and my friendship will be broken. Moreover, knowledge about bitcoin is not too difficult to find, if really want they can find it easily on the internet, I just provide more knowledge, I will never give any advice related to investment.

Manchester United were very lucky so they won the match. I am not satisfied with Manchester United's gameplay. Manchester United conceded two stupid goals in just 4 minutes. This is not the kind of performance we want to see from a team like United. However, Manchester United's squad is still quite weak. Despite having many star players in the team, they are not performing well. Looking forward to see how United perform against Arsenal in the upcoming match.
 
United needed an experienced striker this season. But United coach Ten Hag has picked a young striker like Rasmus Hojlund. I look forward to seeing if Hojlund is able to perform well. But I think bringing Hojlund into the team is a bad investment for United this season.

Real Sociedad's performance against Girona in the first match was quite good. They were able to attack a lot and their overall gameplay was very good. But Sociedad's performance was not good in the next two matches against Celta Vigo and Las Palmas. Real Sociedad had a very weak and slow performance.

Real Sociedad Renowned team in La Liga. They have a strong enough squad. However, their performance this season has been poor. They drew in all three matches and scored just two goals. If this performance continues, Sociedad will be defeated in upcoming matches against Granada and Real Madrid. It will be difficult for Sociedad to finish in the top 6 of the table.

This is probably true for most of us because as I see it, people who invest in bitcoin have changed their views on finance, and how they keep their money and gradually no longer want to depend on banks or governments. I do not deny that I still need banks and fiat because they still benefit our lives. But I am less dependent and no longer trust them too much instead, I use bitcoin to protect my assets my way without anyone knowing and being tracked by someone. Bitcoin really brings a lot of benefits, not just profits.

The problem is that if FTX doesn't sell the assets, where will they get the money to pay the victim's debt? They have come up with a lot of options to find ways to recover assets and find ways to revive their business. But so far, all are just plans, and no feasible plans have been implemented. I don't know what is the best solution as we are not them, but I think selling their crypto holdings would be easier to do than other solutions. Although this will be detrimental to the market at the moment.

But anyway this is a proposed option and whether it is approved and implemented, we need to wait and see. Or are they just trying to buy time with their victims like Mt.Gox has been doing for years. It's been over 10 years and no one has received any compensation from Mt.gox other than empty promises. Is FTX learning Mt.gox's way of appropriating investors' assets?

Real Sociedad did not start the season well last season. However, their performance towards the end of the season was quite good. At the beginning of this season, Real Sociedad's opponents were relatively weak. Their opponents Girona, Celta Vigo and Las Palmas in the first three matches are not strong teams. Even then, Real Sociedad drew all three matches. Such was their performance. Palmas players performed better than Sociedad in today's match as well. I'm happy killing if palmas could have won today. The team was able to dominate the match. I was very disappointed with Sociedad's performance. We don't expect such a poor performance from this team.

Las Palmas   :   Real Sociedad

I expected the match between las palmas vs real sociedad to be one sided. And only we will see the dominance of Real Sociedad. But the performance of Las Palmas really surprised me. This team is playing well in home matches. In 30 minutes they had 60% of the ball possession. And was able to make several nice attacks. Las Palmas players made 5 shots in 30 minutes. But the surprising thing is that Real Sociedad could not make a single shot in these 30 minutes. They made several attacks but none were strong. Real Sociedad is a very strong team. However, they have not won a single match this season. They drew against Girona and Celta Vigo in the first two matches. Sociedad has the possibility of losing points in today's match as well.

Updated:
Recently, FTX proposed to sell 3 billion cryptocurrencies to pay creditors, and if this proposal is accepted, they will gradually sell their assets. As expected, each week they will sell 50-100 million to avoid excessive dumping in the market. They partnered with Galaxy Digital to implement this strategy to reduce the negative impact on the market. This news will be good news for their victims but it will put enormous pressure on the market.

It is too subjective if we insist that the cycle will always repeat. The future is unpredictable and we need to have a plan for the worst case scenario. We should be optimistic but not too subjective about investing in bitcoin.

If judged fairly, bitcoin is still a speculative asset, it cannot be called a store of value or a safe haven like gold. As a relatively small-cap speculative asset, manipulation is also inevitable.

To me, bitcoin cannot currently be considered a store of value. Perhaps that will be more true when it becomes more common and less volatile in the future, but it is not suitable as a store of value at this time.

Pakistan team confirmed the series win by winning the first two matches. I saw the first match we were completely one sided. Afghanistan lost all their wickets for just 59 runs. Afghanistan conceded a humiliating defeat.
In the second match, Afghanistan's two openers batted brilliantly. Afghanistan's collection from the opening pair was 227 runs. Afghanistan set a target of 301 runs. Even then, the team's chances of winning were slim. The performance of Pakistan's top order was good enough. But the performance of Pakistan's middle order players was poor. So I thought maybe Pakistan is going to be defeated. But Shadab Khan's brilliant batting helped Pakistan to win the match. But the match was very competitive and exciting.

After 31 overs, Pakistan's total is 172/2. Opener Fakhar Zaman was dismissed with 30 runs and captain Babar Azam was dismissed with 53 runs. Imam Ul Haque is still unbeaten with 70 runs. He is batting very carefully. Slowly progressing towards the century, at the same time leading the team towards victory.

Pakistan need 129 runs in 19 overs. Is it too difficult a task? I don't think so. Because the Afghanistan players collected 143 runs in the last 19 overs. That's why I don't think Pakistan will have a problem winning this match. Experienced players like Rizwan and Imam ul Haque are still at the crease. If the Pakistan team does not lose several wickets at once, then Pakistan will win easily.

The first half was very exciting. I bet Galatasaray to win. However, seeing their performance at the start of the match, I doubted whether they would win. Because Molde's players started well. And Amatra went ahead with a goal in 8 minutes. Galatasaray, on the other hand, were busy keeping their defense tight. This group did not attack much in the beginning. Then Galatasaray suddenly started to attack. Attacking Icardi, Akgun and Oliveira are playing well today. Galatasaray managed to take a 2-1 lead at the end of the first half. Yunus Akgun scored a goal in the 44th minute but the goal was disallowed. Still nothing to worry about. Galatasaray are able to dominate the match. molde can't score any more goals despite attacking a lot.


Braga vs Panathinaikos match scoreless in the first half. My favorite was Braga. Performance of both the teams is quite stable. And so it is difficult to predict which team will win today. The match is more likely to be a draw.

Galatasaray team is my favorite in today's match. However, Molde is not a weak team. And more importantly today's match is Molde's home match. All teams are strong in home matches. And so even though Galatasaray is a strong team, it will not be easy for Galatasaray to win against Molde today.

Martin's goal gave Molde the lead in just 8 minutes. And Molde is playing very attacking strategy. Galatasaray, on the other hand, have been playing defensively since the start of the match, yet they have conceded a goal. Monde managed to make 6 shots in 25 minutes. On the other hand, Galatasaray has not been able to make a single shot yet. I bet for Galatasaray. However, Galatasaray does not seem to be able to win if they perform like this.

Zion definitely needs to cut a little weight. The fat percentage of his body is definitely a little higher. And I also agree that he should perform better if he actually wants to get known as a great player. Don’t get me wrong he’s not bad. But he definitely is not someone who has actually unlocked the full potential of himself. Injuries have also been a problem for him. Being injured and not being able to perform as well as he should, has definitely got the spotlight away from him for sure. Even recently he was out because of a hamstring injury if I’m not wrong. And these injuries are definitely not some minor injuries that you can come back from after 1/2 weeks. These injuries need months to heal.

I guess PSV will qualify for the next round. I saw some parts of the match. PSV's players performed better than the Rangers. Rangers kept their defense strong in this match. Played defensively. They have played such a defensive game only in home matches. I think their performance will deteriorate further in away matches. I think PSV will perform better in the home match. Today's match was a draw but the match was dominated by PSV players. Although Rangers managed to score two goals, Rangers players did not have much influence in the match. So I'll bet PSv to win the second leg. I hope the team will not let me down.

Coach Pochettino will be under a lot of pressure if Chelsea fail to get full points against Luton. The opponent was strong in the first match. So a 1-1 draw with Liverpool is not considered a bad result. But in the last match, Chelsea lost against West Ham by 3-1. I don't like the performance of Chelsea players. Chelsea conceded 3 goals despite having 76% of the match. Chelsea tried to dominate the match. They also kept the ball in their possession. However, they could not resist West Ham's attacks. Chelsea's defense is weak. Poch definitely needs to work more on his defense. If the defense is not strengthened, we will not see this team at the top of the points table.

Pakistan lost the wickets of Babar and Fakhar Zaman in the first two overs. I had high expectations from Babar. But he couldn't collect any runs today. Even then, I thought the pair of Rizwan and Imam might be tall. But Rizwan returned to the dressing room after collecting only 21 runs. Pakistan collect 46/3 in 10 overs. I don't think Pakistan will make such a bad start. Pakistan's top order players needed to bat more responsibly. Afghanistan bowlers are strong enough. After winning the toss and deciding to bat, Pakistan's poor batting was not at all expected. Pakistan don't seem to have any chance in this match if they give a target below 200. Let's see how Agha Salman and imam Ul Haque, who are now at the crease, bat.

Benjamin Pavard is definitely a good player. I genuinely do not understand why Manchester United is so interested in keeping Harry Maguire in the squad. Have they not suffered enough because of him? This is the same coach who actually forced  Cristiano Ronaldo out of Manchester United by the way.

I just do not understand how he can literally not play Cristiano Ronaldo and warm the bench with him when Cristiano Ronaldo actually carried the whole Manchester United team on his back. and at the same time keep Harry Maguire in the team even after making so many mistakes and literally forgetting how to defend. I thought finally Manchester United is going to get rid of Harry Maguire. But the coach still thinks that he is “important” somehow. I also believe that Bayern Munich is definitely not going to let him go and less they actually find a good replacement as they said.
