Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen are quite promising this season. Bayern Munich will go all out at the Allianz Arena and don't want them to drop points. Leverkusen, with the strategy set by Xabi Alonso, will take advantage of the mistakes made by Munich players and it will be a surprise for the spectators who packed the Allianz Arena stadium.
Thsi will be for sure the hottest and interesting game on the weekend between Munich and Leverkusen.
Unfortunately i can watch that game live or at any stream but i will watch the review of that game when its possible.
I still hope that Leverkuse can make a surprise and win in Munich , but i guess the luck will be with Munich.
Leverkusen might make things a little difficult for Bayern Munich and if Leverkusen scores first then it is certain that Bayern Munich will carry out continuous attacks. At least the result is that we know for sure that Bayern Munich will win this match, but it would be less exciting if there were no surprises. Leverkusen's draw or win will definitely hit Thomas Tuchel's squad.
Excellent game to watch in the first 45 minutes. Almost every attack turns into a scoring position. Leverkusen is a very good team, I think they are a candidate for the championship, I wouldn't be surprised if this season they can do what dortmund hasn't been able to do for years. Front line pressure, offensive sets etc. very good. Bayern is not the old bayern, this team had a german quality/standard last year but it was Dortmunt's fault that they were champions. Bayern were very dominant in the first 20 minutes. Then leverkusen stabilized the game. Boniface amazes me every time I watch him. He's an amazing ball player. There will be more goals in the second half. The match has been very enjoyable so far.

In the end the match was a draw. And this was my expected result. Both teams played very well. Bayern Munich had a total of 16 shots and 9 of them were on target. Leverkusen on the other hand had 13 shots and 5 were on target. Leverkusen's defense and goalkeeper played very well. Leverkusen's goalkeeper made 7 saves today. He has done an excellent performance.

The match was tied at 1-1 in the first half. In the 86th minute of the second half, Leon Goretzka's goal led the Munich team to 2-1. But Leverkusen were very lucky today. After 90 minutes, Leverkusen equalized with a goal from the penalty spot in extra time. Leverkusen has taken the top spot in the points table after drawing today's match.

                     Rayo Vellecano vs Depotivo Alaves

Rayo has finally broken the deadlock on the 42nd minutes of the first half with a penalty kick that was scored brilliantly by Isi. Alex Shola committed the foul in the box which gave Rayo an opportunity to take the lead. The visitors are struggling to equalise the goal but I don't think that this will be possible in this first half because, it is few seconds to end the first half. Maybe  Alaves will equalise the goal in the second half. Isi has scored two goals this season. It is half time and I hope to see more goals in the second half. Rayo had more opportunities of scoring more  than Alaves.
Rayo 1-0 Alaves

I bet on Rayo Vallecano to win today. However, we haven't seen a good performance from Vallecano in the last two matches. Still, I think the team will get back on track with a win against Alaves in today's match. In the last two matches they lost 7-0 against Atletico Madrid and 1-0 against Real Betis. Alaves are a relatively weak team. And Rayo Vallecano is playing pretty well. However, they only scored from the penalty spot. In addition, no more goals can be scored. The match is still likely to be a draw. But I am hopeful that Vallecano will not disappoint me in today's match.

I have bought my BTC in mix prizes as I take the opportunity when there is a price fall. If ever the bull season will come (probably) I set my selling price to $60k, quite already a double price from the last time I bought BTC at $28k. Might it happen that I sell some earlier before it reaches that price or after depending on the market trend? Of course, the first plan can be changed depending on the market condition but I'm not sure if I still have to wait for the ATH knowing that it was hard to predict it. 

While you are not wrong to sell BTC because you have made a profit, if you already believe that BTC can recover back to $60k, why don't you put more faith and sell it when it surpasses the old ATH to make a little more profit?

None of us can analyze or predict exactly what bitcoin's highest peak will be in the upcoming bull season, so selling according to a set target is wisest. Don't sell bitcoin based on emotions because greed will always harm us, it never brings good results.

Master and servant, well said, my friend. Obviously USDT is just a shadow and it can disappear at any time but it seems many people still prefer it over USD. They think that depositing money in a bank cannot be safer than holding USDT, which is actually a serious misconception. They forget USDT is also a completely centralized coin and even it is only offered by a private company and it cannot guarantee anything. Meanwhile, the USD is guaranteed by the US economy, the world's No. 1 power. USDT's capitalization is even smaller than 100 billion USD, while USD is the world's reserve currency, with a huge difference in safety.

I think because staking USDT provide more APY then USD in bank,
which is very easy and take low effort to stake, like just go online on any staking platform, or exchange which allow staking with good APY, Open an account, do KYC, send fund and earn interest.

Maybe most of them don't know risk behind it, most of them just listen some youtuber's telling USDT is safer than USD. they do not do their own research and invest in anything.

APY? I hadn't thought of that and maybe you're right but it's a shame for a crypto investor to believe what others say without doing any research themselves. And what's even funnier is that they rate and trust centralized exchanges higher than banks when banks are much safer than centralized exchanges. Many people always criticize centralized banks but choose USDT and centralized exchanges to store their assets, which is really ridiculous to me.

When compared to Steven Gerrard, Xabi is better and this has been proven so far. Laverkusen next match will be against the toughest opponent in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munchen which will be a real test for Xabi squad. If they manage to hold a draw, that alone will be good enough for them I think.

We can’t run into conclusions because Xabi Alonso is found to tag him a better manager than Steven Gerrard. Gerrard had a remarkable season at Rangers and won the championship that alone means he has an accolade as a manager than Alonso. Xabi is on a right track with his project at Leverkusen since the he took the job. I hope he gets the league ahead of Bayern this season. The start of this dream will be grounded when they face Bayern. With the inform Boniface will bring the fire to this encounter with him even coming out as the Bundesliga player of the month and also Rookie of the month
I think When compared to superstar players like Messi and Ronaldo whose coaching potential was perceived differently, it's simply amazing how Xabi Alonso has outperformed all expectations. In spite of the fact that Xavi had always seemed like a good coach but It is impossible to dispute his influence on Bayer Leverkusen performance this year, especially in light of the crucial role he played in rescuing them from a relegation struggle to a 6th place finish the previous year. The team led by Xabi will be put to the test in the forthcoming match against Bayern Munich, and even a draw would be an admirable outcome. Given their historically difficult matches against Bayern, if he is able to secure a victory, it might establish Leverkusen as a serious candidate for the Bundesliga championship.

For Xabi, if he is actually able to win in the next match against Bayern Munich, I think it is going to say a lot about his coaching. And I think if that happens, we can also say that he is really a good coach who will be pursued by a lot of bigger clubs in the future.

I definitely think that he’s going to get a really good result with Bayer Leverkusen this season. But at the same time, I don't think we have seen him coaching a team full of star players. So that is something we are going to have to wait and see. A lot of coaches can actually do very well with young players and a normal team. But when he's going to manage a bigger club like Real Madrid or others, I think it might be a problem. But it also will probably be better results for him because he is already proving himself with a decent club like Bayer Leverkusen. So better players will probably bring him better results.

PSG team signs new contract with Mbappe ? I think its not.
what I know from several rumors at the beginning of the opening of the last transfer market, PSG leader Nasser Al Khelafi was told that in the past he did not immediately sign an extension contract with Mbappe, there would be no other choice but to release Mbappe for free in the next season because what I know Currently, Mbappe contract only lasts until next season.

and this is a golden opportunity for Madrid to pressure PSG to release Mbappe and I also keep hearing rumors that Real madrid has a way to get Real Madrid but not sure if it will work for sure it fails to get this PSG star Madrid has other equal options with Mbappe.
If Mbappe had decided to sign with PSG, he would have extended his contract with PSG a long time ago. He did not extend his contract with PSG because he did not want to stay at PSG anymore. PSG will have nothing to do should Mbappe leave the club as a free agent member from PSG in the next transfer season. If Mbappe would have extended the contract with PSG this season, PSG would have interfered with Mbappe, since PSG could not extend the contract with Mbappe in the end, Mbappe will definitely change the club next season.

The most rumors about Mbappe's club change are about Real Madrid. Many see the possibility of Mbappe signing with Real Madrid. If Mbappe's deal with Real Madrid goes through I think it will be the best transfer of the transfer window.

I think you guys don’t know that Mbappé has already extended his contract with PSG. He will have a contract with them until 2025. And this was done by PSG to make sure that they do not have to let him go for free. But they have also said that he can go to another club in the first transfer market after the contract has been signed as well. So he definitely does not have to stay. It is just that he will not be a free agent to leave for any club. Those who had expectations of him, becoming a free agent, will now have to pay a lot of money if they want to get him.
I think we have been hearing that he will go to Real Madrid since 2017. It does seem like he really does like Money a lot.

The launch of CBDC will not bring significant changes to the ordinary financial life of society. Likewise in terms of employment. And traditional banks will still be needed in the end. Because CBDC is just a digital form of Fiat. So of course there will still be a need for banks to manage customers and the like. But if we talk about the future then of course we don't know. Whether traditional banks will eventually disappear or not. But I believe CBDC will not replace regular fiat money. Both will exist side by side. so that Traditional Banks will also continue to exist. It's just that workers who understand Blockchain and cryptography are needed to work in managing the CBDC. So that job opportunities will increase in this case. Possible.  Grin

As you said, CBDC is the digital version of fiat and it is just a unit used to measure and help us easily exchange goods with each other. It has no job creation function and we need to work to earn it as much money as possible so we cannot expect CBDC to change our financial situation. CBDC is currency, it is not a job and our mission is to still find ways to earn it every day.
Meanwhile, blockchain and cryptocurrency, one is technology, the other is financial market. So of course they will bring us jobs or profits. There is nothing comparable in this case.

USDT will collapse and disappear quickly if the Tether company does not have enough USD to support it, or if they are hacked and print tons of USDT then it will also lose value quickly. Meanwhile, the USD is supported by the US economy and if the USD declines, USDT will also have the same problem, but the collapse of USDT will not have any effect on the USD. Therefore, in terms of safety, USDT cannot be compared with USD. If it were me, I would choose USD to deposit in the bank instead of having to put my assets in an unsecured asset like USDT.
Your opinion is clear to me because take for instance of luna how it kill many people because of peg it lost, am also a victim of such only me understand how I felt during the period. Base on my location the are favourable. USDT is a dependant so anything can happen at anytime, if any happen to USDT, the USD will never be affected because the currency is independent of it own. Let assume if today USD collapse the USDT in gone, while if USDT collapse the USD stay. We shouldn't compare the master and the servant, the two are not the same it is clear. I prefer USD than USDT for the purpose of security, and what we need is safety.

Master and servant, well said, my friend. Obviously USDT is just a shadow and it can disappear at any time but it seems many people still prefer it over USD.

~~~
The Champions League competition is very mentally draining so PSV can easily go down or vice versa. It depends on whether the players are ready or not to face a club as big as Arsenal which is in top condition. However, PSV's motivation is still quite high and they don't want to slump at the start of the season. I will not doubt PSV's performance in the last few matches which seems to produce solid matches. On the other hand, Arsenal also needs to reconsider, Arteta cannot make the wrong decision again because his return to the Champions League must be utilized well. At least getting through the group preliminary round in my opinion will not be too difficult when compared to other groups.
Apart from Group F, there is no group that will be really tough for the favorite team. Arsenal are the favorites in my opinion, so they shouldn't disappoint because I know the quality of the team at the moment. PSV of course has a chance to qualify, but I'm sure other teams also have the same chance.

I agree that PSV is also good to look forward to, but who would have thought that Sevilla who are currently not in good shape might be a surprise. Sevilla cannot be underestimated even if they are not in good form in La Liga, so 3 teams between Arsenal, PSV and Sevilla are likely to qualify for the next round.

You probably mean Group B. Because Arsenal are not in Group F. Group F teams are PSG, Dortmund, Newcastle and AC Milan. And Group F is the toughest group in this year's Champions League. Every team has a chance to qualify for the knockout rounds.

If we talk about Group B, there is no way to say that other teams in this group are weak except Arsenal and PSV. Sevilla and Lens are strong enough teams. However, the recent performance of these two teams is very bad. This is why PSV and Arsenal are expected to top the table. And these two teams will qualify for the next round. Sevilla and Lens are strong enough. If they can sort out the problems within the squad, it will not be easy for PSV to qualify for the next round.

we should not think too far about where Haaland will go because this player will not leave Man City, even though Haaland has managed to find a team that suits him and a very reliable coach who is able to develop his talent even further so that he can achieve the UCL title this season. then at the same time get the treble winner title.

and regarding Mbappe, it is certain that Mbappe is much younger player who has the ambition to win the UCL title and titles in other competitions so it possible that Mbappe will still leave PSG in the following season to look for the right team that can lead him to achieve this. that he wants and I think Real Madrid. all of this is not only about money, but Mbappe really wants his name to be known as star player who has had a successful career getting a lot of titles while it was still easy so that too long at PSG without the guarantee of getting a title in another competition such as the UCL or the European league is just useless for him.
I really dont understand why PSG wants to keep Mbappe so badly. He didt even take out an extension with them, and remember how he turned down Madrid's offer? That made a point! Lets not even talk about how poorly PSG has been playing lately. Even with Messi and Neymar, they still couldnt win the UCL. I really believe that Mbappe should leave PSG if he wants to win more crowns. Yes, I have heard rumors that he might stay. He should know its better to move if he has a brain! That means its time for PSG to look for a new player. They could end up in deeper water next season without him.

If you look at PSG match in the first match of the season where they have difficulty winning if they are not strengthened by Mbappe. In the two previous matches PSG won, in which in the two matches PSG installed Mbappe as a starter. That's a strong reason why Nasser Al-Khelaifi really wants Mbappe to last longer with PSG because his contribution has quite an impact on PSG performance in every match.

Even this season, Mbappe has often been linked with Real Madrid, but that didn't happen because Mbappe still stayed with PSG until his contract ended. Nasser Al-Khelaifi will continue to try to persuade Mbappe to renew his contract this season. If that fails then Mbappe will leave on a free transfer next season. PSG has recorded two wins and two draws at the start of this season which has left them sitting in second place in the standings. I think Mbappe will continue to make many big contributions in the upcoming matches because he seems to want to make a sweet record before his contract ends with PSG.

At this point, the only reason Real Madrid might actually go for him is because there is a genuine shortage of good strikers right now. And it is definitely very hard for a club to find a really good striker like him. They probably thought that they would be able to get him for free. But now the PSG club has a new contract with him. So Real Madrid will have to spend a lot of money to get him now. PSG definitely played this thing properly. Otherwise, they would have had to let him go for free. But the thing is it will probably be a good decision to go for him even if it costs them a lot of money.

Nicolas Pépé was one of the most expensive players in Arsenal who left Lille in 2019 and joined Arsenal for 85 million joined Trabzonspor in Turkey, when Nicolas Pépé joined Arsenal they were expecting to see a much better performance from this palyer but in the end, he failed and now this 28-year-old player, Nicolas Pépé, joined Trukish Leageu and Trabzonspor for 3 million.



Nicolas pepe is not such a bad player in any team if we are to be very honest. When he came to Arsenal he did his best, but just that Arsenal was not in their good form as of then. But when Arsenal transformed to be a better club to compete in any competition, he was no longer giving opportunity to play in the club. I do not know how he performs during the training because it is the training session that determines who plays but I think he lost his place when Jesus Gabriel arrived Arsenal seasons ago.
Arsenal have so many good players and promising players and it was becoming so obvious that with Mikel Arteta in Arsenal team as a head coach, there is no future for Nicolas pepe. So his move is a nice one for his career.

It is actually better for his career because if he is not in the plans of a coach, it is better to not be in the club and keep hoping that he will get a chance one day. It’s better for him to try his luck in other clubs. Clubs which are actually interested in playing him as a regular. He is also 28 years old. So this is the time when he is going to be at the peak of his performance. I think he made the right decision at a good time because if it had been a little more late, he wouldn’t have been able to actually ensure the best performance that he could. The contract termination was definitely a good mood for both parties.
912  Economy / Economics / Re: I wonder if food prices in your country have also increased? on: September 10, 2023, 12:03:21 PM
Over the past few years there has been a lot of discontent over the rise in food prices and in recent months low and middle income people are struggling to cope with the increase in the price of daily essential food products. Prices of rice and pulses are high and food inflation has increased due to increase in fuel and fertilizer prices as well as increased supply of several commodities in the global market. Climate change has also had a significant impact resulting in extreme droughts and unprecedented floods in Europe in recent months. Inflation will pick up again by the end of this year and may be around 5 percent in december and the price of processed food can reach the highest level.

What worries me more is what fast food are doing. They have increased the price of their menu and reduced quantity. I thought the increase price was supposed to compensate for the general rise of things but cutting down quantity and quality is a red flag. If people are ready to adjust to price hike, then we should have something flood enough to make the stomach satisfied, nothing good in spending money with out satisfaction.

With the way price of food has increased, people has forgone many alternative but I hope government can as well increased minimum wages, my country needs it because the wages and salary they pay is way below what can satisfy ordinary man.
The increase in fast food prices is also due to the increase in food ingredients, so this is very influential because it is impossible for companies not to make a profit there.
The increase in food supplies is almost the same throughout the world because it affects inflation, currency depreciation and also several other factors that cannot be avoided even for agricultural countries.
And increasing minimum wages and purchasing prices for farmers has an influence on the government of a country and it depends on the policy of a country to do so.

Food prices are rising due to the effects of many uncertainties, and it is happening all over the world. But there are different levels of impact because each country's income is not the same. I think raising wages is not easy because it means the Government has to print more money while imports and exports remain unchanged, which causes inflation to get out of control. I think the government has a reason not to raise wages suddenly and only because of rising prices.
913  Economy / Economics / Re: Stable coin or having USD in bank on: September 10, 2023, 11:53:22 AM
You need to research the risks involved before making a decision. My preference would definitely be for USDT. The reason for this is related to the country i live in. I live in a place with high inflation and I keep most of my money in foreign currency. By accumulating USDT, i react to possible developments with a delay and therefore have the opportunity to take a position in advance.

I can earn 5-6 percent annual return with USDT, which is not possible with the foreign currency i keep in the bank. Yes, although usdt has some risks (your money is not in the bank after all and it is all about trust in the stock market), if you are in a place with high inflation and do not want to experience a negative situation against sudden exchange rate changes, you can choose usdt. If your priority is pure security, then keep your savings in the bank.

But USDT cannot be safer than USD and as I know all banks have USD savings accounts for anyone who needs one. Why don't you choose USD?
USDT is pegged to USD and sometimes there are incidents that lead to loss of peg such as dumping or manipulation in the cryptocurrency market. That's not foreign to us anymore, so holding all of our assets in USDT is actually much riskier than when our assets were in USD. Personally, I prefer USD if forced to choose one of these two assets.

USDT cannot be more stable than the dollar, for one simple reason - the stability of an object cannot be higher than what its stability provides !
It is like in reliability theory - the overall reliability of a system is the product of the reliability of its nodes.
Therefore, the very question of what is more reliable than USDT or Dollar (leaving aside the topic of the essence of the question - storage in the bank), does not make sense, because the dollar is 100% guaranteed to be secured by itself, and the stablecoin is not guaranteed to be secured by these very dollars.

USDT will collapse and disappear quickly if the Tether company does not have enough USD to support it, or if they are hacked and print tons of USDT then it will also lose value quickly. Meanwhile, the USD is supported by the US economy and if the USD declines, USDT will also have the same problem, but the collapse of USDT will not have any effect on the USD. Therefore, in terms of safety, USDT cannot be compared with USD. If it were me, I would choose USD to deposit in the bank instead of having to put my assets in an unsecured asset like USDT.

Although there is only a short time left for the match between the two teams, it will be clear which team is the real favorite when the game starts.
Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl first, and Rohit Sharma said if we won the toss, we would choose to bat first. India's batting is good and bowling is not good.
So, I think that's why India wants to bat first and Pakistan's bowling is amazing and batting is also amazing but bowling first was a good decision from Babar Azam because, in the previous match, bowling was lucky for Pakistan. Let's see what happens in this time. Sad
Indian batsmen's performance is good, but bowlers' performance is not good. On the other hand, it would not be wrong to say that Pakistan's current bowling line-up is the best bowling line-up in the world. Bowlers like Haris Rouf, Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah Afridi bowled brilliantly. However, Indian batsmen are very experienced. They have the ability to deliver big targets if they stay at the crease.
India's two openers Gill and Rohit Sharma have started well. While Rohit Sharma batted with more responsibility, Gill was brutal from the start of the innings. India collected 23 runs in 3 overs. Rohit Sharma scored 10 runs off 11 balls and Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 13 runs off 7 balls. Let's see how many runs India's innings stops.
India is playing very aggressively and positively today and both the openers are looking to score runs quickly. Due to the positive start from both openers, they are able to survive the spell from Shaheen Shah Afridi.
38-0 after the end of 6th over, is a very good score and seeing the wicket today, it seems that India will be able to score over 300+ runs. No bowler from the Pakistan team is able to put any impact on the match. Also, there have been some bad fielding by the Pakistan players today which have helped the Indian cause.
India's opening pair is playing great. Shubman Gill is resisting Pakistan's experienced bowlers very well. He scored 41 runs off just 30 balls. And Rohit Sharma collected only 10 runs off 24 balls. Shubman Gill's strike rate is more than 130. He is batting well. India collected 53 runs without losing any wicket in 9 overs.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam used all his 3 pace bowlers in this 9 overs. But still can't take any wicket. Pakistani bowlers are bowling well but they are not succeeding. Also Pakistan's fielding is not good today. They missed several easy fieldings. A fielding miss is very risky in such an important match.

The way India are batting, the team will set a target of at least 350 runs today. I am very disappointed with Pakistan's performance. Bowlers are giving lots of runs. Fielders are missing a lot of fielding. At the same time the bowler is giving a lot of extra runs. India's two openers collected 103 runs in 14 overs. They scored an average of 7.35 runs per over. There is no doubt that Pakistan's bowlers are very talented. But the way Indian batsmen are batting is really impressive. Rohit Sharma batted very carefully at the beginning of the innings. His strike rate was between 55-70. But now Rohit Sharma's strike rate is like 120. India's captain is batting brilliantly. It will be much more difficult for Pakistan to win this match if the target goes beyond 300. India will set a target of more than 350 today if Pakistan fails to take wickets.

The beginning of the season has really not been easy with Mutd in terms of their performance, even after ending last season with an astonishing performance that made them finish the season in 3rd position, I was expecting a more formidable team of Manchester United this season. However, the league is just starting and still has enough time to put the team in order and has several matches ahead to play and in others to cover up the mess so far.
After Manchester United came out among first four it is expected for then to show impressive game this season but Manchester United have not been so  good to win all their games so far. But I think  it is still  early to conclude if Manchester United won't be able to perform well due to the few games they lose this season. Let me just believe Manchester United are still trying to get used to the season , I just hope Manchester United will perform better as the season goes on, in their last game against arsenal they lose the game but their performance was not bad because it wasn't easy  for arsenal to win the game.

I thought maybe Manchester United would fight for the title this season. But after their performance in the first four games, I don't think they will fight for the title. Manchester United lost badly against Tottenham and Arsenal. They won against two weaker teams. I can't describe such a performance well. Manchester United is not able to perform worthy of winning the title. And I doubt the team will qualify for the Champions League. The performances of teams like Tottenham, Brighton and West Ham are stronger and more stable than Manchester United. Despite having a strong squad, Manchester United are not doing well.

England vs. New Zealand in today's match, England has batted and given a target of 291 runs. The New Zealand team is now out to bat. New Zealand has scored 42 runs in 7 overs. New Zealand has not lost any wicket so far. Which team will win today's match?  It seems very difficult. If the batsmen of the New Zealand team keep wickets and play, they can win this run very easily. However, if the batsmen of the New Zealand team perform poorly, it will be very difficult for the New Zealand team to win the match.
New Zealand batting was already over and I didn't expect that the New Zealand team's performance would be incredible. New Zealand scored 291 runs in 50 overs and lost 6 wickets. The performance of all team batsmen was appreciable because All players except a few had a fantastic performance. Now the Australian team batting lived and they scored 108 runs in 19.2 overs by losing 1 wicket. I think that the performance of both teams great I see the tough match between them. Now let's at the end of the match Who will be the 1 first ODI match?
England batsman gave a good performance in batting and gave Australia a target of 291 scored.This score target is not high to beat Australia.Australia need 23 runs off 38 balls to win this match. D. Conway and D Mitchell  Have performed very welland are still continuing their innings, both of them have completed their centuries. D. Conway make run 111 in 121 balls and D . Mitchell make a run 118 in 91 balls.
England team performed well in the beginning but was better towards the last. Under the pressure of NewZealand's bowling, the England team could not score more runs, scoring only 291 runs. NewZealand's two batsmen Conway and Daryl Mitchell secured the win at the end of the game. Pride to their name to NewZealand fans for their great long time performance. NewZealand proved strong in this match, with only two wickets falling, but Conway and Daryl Mitchell's long-on partnership turned the game around and led them to victory.
What England set as target isn't low. In the Sophia Gardens venue the average first innings score is around 230 runs. The scoring from England is really high considering the average. Based on the stats the team batting second have won majority of the matches. This time the same had happened, Devon Conway gave good start and the same is being supported by Daryl Mitchell. In between Nicholls and Young gave their contribution. As the test series got drawn, now the ODI series have gained more importance among both the teams.

I was happy to see England set a target of 292 runs. Because it was a big enough collection on this pitch. But I don't think the England team should be defeated so badly even after giving a target of 292 runs. The performance of the England Ray bowlers was very poor. Although England used 7 bowlers, none of the bowlers were successful. Every bowler except Chris Woakes has given plenty of runs. The ODI World Cup is going to be held in a few days. Now England's poor performance has become a cause for concern. If England can't make their bowling line-up more structured and stronger then I don't see them doing well in the next World Cup.

I am in no position to judge someone like Elon Musk, because since the day I was born I've never build anything that's useful for the masses, I always laugh at people who judge those who are 1000 levels above them, like what the hell?

It's too early to call someone like him (Elon) a dumb person because people like him always have their plans and goals, while worrying about if they do something wrong or right why not worry about ourselves?

It's only those who have done something for the world can talk about Elon Musk, you can't be a empty barrel and come out in the open saying that this man ruined Twitter or something, line what the hell did you know anyway?
Though I totally agree with your opinion that someone who hasn't done anything in life shouldn't criticize others, I believe everyone has the right to voice their opinions when they see something happening, and having a discussion about what might have gone wrong isn't really a very bad thing. He is a billionaire, a very successful businessman who has earned his worth all by himself which makes him a self-made billionaire that is on top right now.

However, who says that billionaires don't make mistakes or make wrong decisions? They do, they are normal human beings just like us, so if they make a mistake and people discuss it, I don't really think there is anything wrong with that as long as people aren't saying anything immoral.

Billionaires are also human and making mistakes is inevitable. Yes, we can discuss with each other and voice our opinions, but don't look down on them, gloat or consider them stupid if their plans don't work out. I completely agree with what Crypt0Gore said, we can't even take care of our lives and our loved ones so we have no right to criticize Elon or anyone else who has a life better than us.

Many people are laughing at Elon for buying Twitter and causing it to decline...but they should look at themselves and see what they have better than him and what they have done. Or just people who don't have a stable income and like to criticize others.

This is a forum and we have the right to discuss and share all issues, but we need to know who we are, where we stand and what we have. Don't pretend to be smarter than others when our income and life are not equal to anyone else's. There are many humble people but it's hard to understand how there are so many people who have nothing but are so arrogant. This world is so colorful  Cheesy Cheesy.

@bbc.reporter, I don't know about this guy but I just discovered one more interesting detail. In addition to the four senior leaders of FTX who have pleaded guilty, we also have a very rarely mentioned character, Sam Trabucco. This is the official CEO of Alameda, and Caroline Ellison was only CEO of Alameda for a year before FTX went bankrupt. So far, Sam Trabucco has not been arrested, and the question is whether he knew something, or if there was a larger force backing him.

Another piece of information I just found is that the SBF trial will take place in March 2024 instead of October 2023 as expected.

I hope that the net halving will bring more and more countries adopting and considering bitcoin to be helpful to their life and economy.

I don't understand how the halving will impact bitcoin adoption and its popularity in countries. When it comes to the adoption and popularity of bitcoin, we should spread the word about the decentralized nature and benefits of bitcoin to everyone. Once they understand the mission and features that bitcoin provides them, they will see how useful bitcoin is and how much they need it.

As for the halving, that will only make mining more difficult and will make bitcoin more scarce and valuable. I assume if there is no halving, it will not affect the adoption and popularity of bitcoin.

News update.

FTX executive Ryan Salami has pleaded guilty and has made a deal to become the next whistleblower against Sam. My speculation only hehehe.

In any case, according to this documentation, he owes the American government $1.5 billion, however, the government has accepted these substitute assets worth $6 million as full payment. This is head shaking. We can only speculate on what other agreements were made in this settlement.

Substitute assets that were mentioned are 2 houses, equity interest in East Rood Farm corporation and a 2021 porsche 911 hehehehe.

Ryan Salami's guilty plea means that to date, we have had four FTX executives plead guilty. Gary Wang, Nishad Singh, Caroline Ellison have all pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with the investigation before, and this time Ryan Salami. According to a news report, SBF and four accomplices will appear in court for fraud to be held in October. Previously, the SBF had denied the charges that the court had ruled him. But with his accomplices pleading guilty one by one, I think he's starting to panic.
