Morocco has come this far is truly surprising and impressive.  Morocco's familiarity grew.  Croatia was the runner-up team in last year's final.  This victory was theirs.  The next World Cup will be easy for Morocco and Morocco will start as favourites.  Now there is one more match left in the World Cup and that is France vs Argentina.  France is the last world champion team and Argentina has the best Lionel Messi in the world.  It's going to be a very exciting game.
In this event surely Morocco was the best team with achieving good results against teams like Belgium, Spain and Portugal and French end their dream run but still good result for them because now with this success they can do better in coming year's confidence level and performance should be at his highest level which will bring a new generation for them which will give this game a different level end was not good with fourth spot because they deserve a medal but still not bad at all.

Croatia is also having good time as their few legendary players are going to retire soon, but they also give them good results in last few years, specially Modric is amazing player and his services were also amazing for his country in last few years.
902  Economy / Speculation / Re: ELON sold his TSLA stock for $3.5billion. Will he re-buy BTC soon? on: December 17, 2022, 10:38:32 AM
With great money power of course it's normal for elon to speculate, now he sells TSLA and makes the TSLA price drop significantly and the current price is only around 1.5 cents, we'll wait whether he will pump again or not, and if he doesn't pump again then it is likely that TSLA will drop deeper.
The current price of tesla stocks is around $150. I remember it was trading above $1000 when Elon reached the position of world's number one rich. (Not sure how many times tesla stocks got split out to multiply its circulating supply). Now the point is, either Elon is working on making tesla stock to be affordable to retail investors or selling or planning to buy back bitcoin like how he did with 1 billion dollars in 2021.

We have witnessed in Elon's pump in dogecoin and this may be the time for him to focus on bitcoin. In my opinion, Elon might have studied and followed the business strategy of MicroStrategy and might have planned to invest in bitcoin at bottom price levels. So, personally I am expecting bitcoin is going to bounce back because it is time for Christmas and New year.

I Predicted $16k by EOY in April. Here we are now and I am worried if we are going to bounce back up or going to convert this long term support to resistance.
In 2019 first quarter, we had a sharp rise up to $15k level from the 2018's bottom of $3800. Similarly we could expect bounce back of bitcoin market from here onward which may lead to sideways conditions till the end of 2023. From these I am sceptical about being tied on the current levels till April of next year.

We have been into more than 12 months long bear market; so there are lesser possibilities about its persistence for another three months of time.
904  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving one third what you earn monthly is not that hard, isn't it ? on: December 17, 2022, 05:16:26 AM
This $1,000 savings will allow you to invest or place a house down payment when time is ripe. Is this possible based on where you live ?
The importance of saving could be realized only at the need of money which is why most people do not prioritising it when earning enough. In my tradition, elder people do emphasise about saving more than 50% of earning. Also, we have a popular saying like this: "the first expense of your salary should be savings".

Regardless of the kind of your lifestyle, $3k/monthly is still huge and you'll always have something left for savings here in my country, that of course, if you're single.
Means monthly $3k is huge only for singles? In my country, it is multifold higher than average nation wide salary hence even familyman could save more than $1000 if they do earn $3k monthly.

Fullbear is known as a famous troll, and this is not his first account, and to be fair to him, there is a need to start new topics, I know his past accounts as well, and how idiotic they were too, there is always THAT account he has that opens up topics like crazy, and could be banned later on because he changes accounts every 6 months to a year.

But, this is just getting silly now, leave banks and go full crypto is a risky advice that could hurt someone. I am all for keeping the forum active and having these type of discussions, but telling or suggesting something that may end up hurting someone is not acceptable, it is going to be dire consequences and we should avoid saying these things.
906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing $350,000 because of a friend, what would you do? on: December 16, 2022, 06:16:43 AM
I learned pretty early on in life to make your own decisions so that if things go wrong you don’t seek to blame others. Sometimes involving others is inevitable in life, and personally this is where I tend to run into problems because nobody is as passionate about your ideas as you. Same thing with your decisions. Nobody has as much on the line for your decisions as you do, so take responsibility for them and don’t look to blame others regardless of the situation.
But that was not a small amount of money, it might be small to some people, but according to the movie, it was not a small amount to the bettor. Although if I am his friend, I may not just do anything and leave it like that, just because of what you said to be the reason. If I make mistake, I will not become the enemy of myself and I will move on in life, but if a friend make a mistake that could have helped me, that if he did not involve himself at all I would have been lucky, I will always put the blame on him.
I agree that trust is something that is easily lost, and that is something I have to deal with everyday as a person with mental doubt at all times. It's not something I ignore, I work on it everyday, but I know that one bad word, one terrible situation, one big mistake and I can lose my wife, my friends, everyone I love, because I said the wrong thing or did the wrong thing.

Not everyone lives with the fear of this, I do, and that is why I would never do something like the video showed, impossible, I would just let them lose their money completely, and that way I would be watching them make a mistake if I have to but I still wouldn't be able to intervene.
907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 15, 2022, 08:58:32 PM
Inter Milan's performance this season has not been very stable, making it difficult to catch Napoli's points, Inter Milan has collected 30 points and is 11 points adrift with Nopali at the top of the standings. I agree more with chasing the top three in the standings than chasing the Scudetto, because realistically this is more likely to be done by Inter Milan, considering that the top three and four are only one point away from them.

Inter Milan must also be active in the winter transfer market, considering that the striker they currently have is less aggressive and has a relatively old age, so his performance is no longer dangerous as a mainstay striker. The second half of the season will be even more competitive, so Inter Milan needs a reliable striker who can make a difference.
They are not going to catch them neither, that ship has sailed already. I feel like there is a good chance that we should be looking to see if they will be top four, which is good enough because they would be going to UCL with that and that means a lot of money, they also need to be in the group stages but they probably can do that.

All of these means that they are going to end up with something good in the long run, as long as they can finish top four this year, they have a good chance for next year and that is the benefit of football, you do not have to be great every year, just have break seasons and get better for longer term after that break.
908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2022 Discussion Thread on: December 14, 2022, 03:54:10 PM
In the game against Spain I don't think they let themselves win on purpose because at one point Spain was left out of the World Cup, for me the Spanish lost their compass for a long time, however the surprise was always Morocco if this team entered the round of 16 , then the quarterfinals and now in the semifinals it's because they really have something that the others don't have, this game is really very good, because if they win against France it will be a great success and that is something that nobody knows how to expect, and it may be that the bets fall again as they have in most world cup matches, nothing is written here.
Biggest shock is definitely Morocco there is no doubt about that, but I am also still shocked about Brazil not being able to win against Croatia, that was a bigger shock than Morocco beating Spain if you ask me.

Like there is at least a bit of good players in Morocco, if you ask me aside from Modric there was no great player in Croatia and the difference is that Brazil is 10x better team than Spain, so it was harder to beat them and Croatia still managed to do it. I still can't believe that game. And right after that game, just a game later, they showed how "good" they are by losing 3-0 to Argentina. No team who is bad enough to lose 3-0 against Argentina should be able to play good enough to beat Brazil.
909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: December 14, 2022, 01:31:18 PM
India is a country of 1.4 billion people, and a large share of that population is in the younger age groups. They are hungry for sports events and it is being reflected in the women's cricket matches.
Yeah, India women handed over the first defeat in 2022 to Australia women and the beauty was that happened in Australia itself. Now, these 2 teams are clashing again as the series is in-line; yeah, we are going to have a virtual final of the exciting t20 series.

I have placed my bets on India women as chasing has been handled so far perfectly in this series hence India must be having better chances to clinch this series today. My prediction on good performer of this series would be Smriti Mandhana and if she shines again in this match then I guess I can make profits today.
910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: December 14, 2022, 12:39:20 PM
It does look like Bangladesh are in trouble now since India could end up scoring something close to 350 in their first innings primarily thanks to Pujara and Iyer which is a great total overall.

India winning or a draw are the most likely outcomes of this match at this point unless something unexpected happens.
Considering the batting capabilities of Ravichandran Ashwin, I guess India may comfortably reach 400+ runs tomorrow which is more than enough for eyeing innings or 10 wickets winning against Bangladesh. A little disappointment from Virat Kohli as I expected him to score another century after his return to form in white ball cricket. Cheteshwar Pujara and Shreyas Iyer are highlight of opening day of this first test.

Overall, India may win this test series 1-0 but I see Mohamed Shami is not playing for India still India got
Mohammed Siraj who is having good run as recent test matches hence I predict India could be the favourite for this series regardless of home advantage to Bangladesh.
911  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading and investing,and still very broke.why?Is it spiritual? on: December 14, 2022, 08:00:44 AM
Not certainly on spiritual aspects but more on physical, mental and emotional state of the investor or trader. If he starts investing without getting ready these physical, mental and emotional aspects, he will still be unsuccessful in all his attempts.
Being prepared to stay emotionally strong is more important for successful trading experiences; people do assume their swing in emotions is somehow related to spiritual things but in my opinion, that is understandable. We need to remember there are traders who live out of trading profits alone hence if we give enough efforts then we also could copy such traders which is basically spiritually and technically possible.

Maybe they are facing financial problems and slowly solving those problems. Good thing that they are consistent in trading and investment as slowly but surely, they will soon be able to settle their respective financial problems and struggles and can now focus on making profits.
I must be another person who believes in your statements. Growth in trading definitely not possible in the beginning dates itself. We must keep hard working by understanding all the aspects of trading system. People need enough time to identify such aspects but unfortunately they start hunting for profits before that time itself which is part that leads to failure for most cases.
912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Candidates for the WORLD CUP 2022 Winner on: December 13, 2022, 08:44:54 PM
I would love to watch France lose. The timing is a bit inconvenient for me. The match will start by sometime around 12:30am here in India and in case it goes to extra time and penalty shootout, then it will end by 3am or so. And I need to start my office work by next day 8am. But still, I want to watch the two semi-finals. It will be a big disappointment though, if Morocco loses out to France. They have come so far, and just have two more obstacles to cross. That said, if the final is between Argentina and Morocco, then I am going to support the former. This is going to be Messi's last world cup and he deserves to be in a world cup winning squad.
It will be similar to me as well and I feel like there is a good chance we could lose just one day worth of sleep and still catch world cup semi finals. I mean think about it this way, this is a once in a 4 year thing and if you really like football then you could sleep 3-4-5 hours or whatever and then go to work and it would certainly be a bad day but you would still be able to get your sleep following night, knowing you watched semi-finals.

I however hope France wins, because they are much better team and they should be easily defeating Morocco, and I hope we end up with Argentina vs France finals, that would be a lot better for me, that's what I want to watch.
913  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Education programs should cover Bitcoin and Blockchain technology. on: December 13, 2022, 05:00:23 PM
You provided good recommendations for spreading Bitcoin and blockchain knowledge by including courses covering bitcoin and blockchain technology in the K-12 curriculum. But this also depends on each country's policies, if a government does not provide full regulation of bitcoin or crypto then it will be a little constrained. in some old universities, it has also been implemented because basically it is still included in the economics curriculum.
Providing knowledge about blockchain and bitcoin technology from an early age will inspire those who are still young and will become successors of these technologies.
Honestly considering many of the nations do not have K12 level economics class, if you haven't giving these kids education on what money is, it would be near impossible to give what bitcoin is.

I have said this over and over again a million times, we should be making sure that finance is one of the classes in high school, because kids need to learn about it, and have like 2 hours a week of finance classes for 4 years, when they graduate they would be able to actually know what to do with their money. Right now consumerism is killing the world and the economy, people who can't afford things, make bad debt and work hard like slaves to pay them off, that can't sustain.

At the moment there is still no latest news for Arsenal especially to look for a striker now but as you said, sooner or later this will definitely be answered because this is a position that is indeed a bit crucial if left unchecked so it is impossible for Arsenal to do that especially with the conditions at the moment which is indeed in a good trend this season.
Arteta doesn't want to be too hasty with this because he knows that if he rushes it won't be too good later and I like the way he reacts to this.
Arteta and Arsenal management is already in contact with few players and their clubs about possible move even we have no positive updates about these things but most chances they will be able to have their required player on right time which will be helpful for them as they are currently trying to have good strength for team until end of this season with they are currently hot favourite for the title with their best form and amazing results.

With nothing is clear but look like they are in contact with few players from Brazil because I search for the link but right now not available with few days back they were in contact with few clubs about quality players but after this news now we have no update which is possible to be revealed in January because this transfer is not possible before this time in UEFA.
915  Economy / Speculation / Re: How low will BTC's market price go? on: December 12, 2022, 08:14:09 PM
We can't expect prices to rise after everything crypto has gone through the course of 2022. A lot of things need to settle down, before crypto could rise back to its former glory. The FTX collapse is very similar to the Mt. Gox collapse, so it's likely confidence into crypto will be restored after some time has passed.

I think Bitcoin will continue to decline in price, especially when "The FED" will keep raising interest rates. Maybe it'll go as low as $10k the next year? The crypto market is widely unpredictable so we can only hope for the best. Just my thoughts Cheesy
I feel like it has been long enough time. I get that FTX is recent but that doesn't mean that we are looking at something just recent, we are looking at everything together, we are looking at all of 2022 and how it has gone down. Doesn't mean that we are not going to see any more bear market, of course it can continue some more but I feel like we have seen all we should see and from here on out we should be starting to just go up.

Enough with everything that has happened and time for us to start to heal. Maybe I am just alone with this thought, but I am sick and tired of all the bear approach to crypto, too many people lost hope, we should be starting to gain that a bit back.
916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: December 12, 2022, 07:48:02 PM
There is no doubt that Real Madrid is a good team with a coach and players. I don't remember who was the worst Real Madrid coach in the last 10 years without a title in a season, they are all great and I think Real Madrid tend to work with great people.

But is that a guarantee to always be successful? I think most people would say no, but these great guys are likely to put together a successful team to win titles at the end of the season. Ancelotti was extraordinary for Real Madrid, I admit that.
Real Madrid will do everything to become champions again, they have everything for this, and the gap is now only 2 points, this is an insignificant difference and it can be decided in one match, between these teams. Real Madrid have already beaten Barcelona this season and have done it very confidently, but the main thing will be how many points the teams lose over the remaining games. The fact that Barcelona were able to bypass Real Madrid was a surprise, but I don’t think that it's for a long.
Right now, talking about title race is completely useless because we have going to start from 15th round in few days mean 24 rounds left a very long period of season with many ups and downs are also going to happen and Barcelona which is currently leading by just 2 points are also under development which is clearly giving chance to Real Madrid as they have time for defending their title because right now we have no other team which is capable of challenging them and just Barcelona and Real Madrid are the best teams in La Liga.

In January, we are going to have few transfers as well because Real Madrid is surely looking for changes and things are looking good for them as they have enough funds and few players are already under their radar, hopefully they will be able to have their required players which will give them better performance and chance of defending title.
917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling techniques on: December 12, 2022, 07:29:02 PM
I try to avoid strategies that require betting large amounts, because this greatly increases the risk of losing money. I prefer to allocate a certain budget for gambling and divide it into equal parts, this way I get an equal number of possible bets and this practically eliminates the possibility of losing my deposit. Of course, there are bad days when there are many losses, then you can just stop and get some rest.
Worth a try if you see that the strategy is promising but  difficult to continue as they require really  big bets and tend to lose. Your preferences are almost the same for players who bet low, because the more  we bet, the better our chances of winning than those who bet  once and lose. Although there are no  100% winning strategies in gambling,but there are people that can simply calculate that he have a better chance of winning the next round.
It can be promising based on how you see it with others but the results can differ once you are the one that tries it so we must be careful. Much better if we avoid those risky strategies like martingale as they may require a huge bankroll and we know that gambling must only be done based on our capacity.

We should only gamble amounts that we can afford to lose and those amounts are usually small. If you are lucky in martingale, you will win but the winnings are only small because most of it will be covered to what you have lost earlier so overall that strategy is not worth it. Big risk must also have big returns but again this was not recommended.

Even BUSD and Binance exchange reserve is in hot seat now for its proof of reserve (https://twitter.com/mikealfred/status/1601959206239629320) so BUSD is also in danger, what if any moment this stables value become unstable looks like its too risky to hold stable now.  
That tweet is talking about shortage of $245 million and anyone who has been watching binance from its beginning days know the facts; that must be a FUD against a crypto giant to grab cheaper prices of all cryptos. Basically I am not a supporter of any stablecoin or exchange but suspecting binance for $245 millions does not sound realistic.

Stablecoins were not part of crypto space some 5 years back but now people are making use of it for many applications like P2P trading and bot trading hence I wish to have a problem-free stablecoins but we do get only corporate coins. A decentralized stablecoin must be a solution here (I know DAI claims themselves decentralized but that also another corporate shit).

Didn't we see this type of solution with the LUNA/LUNC debacle? Did it work? No. And that's why when into this issuing of the new tokens, it's just a
Yes, creating a new token is not a solution. we've already seen it happen in LUNA. everything is not going to work as planned. only one best option is to pay back all losses incurred. even if it takes months or even years. what is expected is not a new token that promises to provide better value. it will only happen in a matter of seconds. when the pump is finished then the new token will also be slammed to the bottom.
focus on recovering losses. not with a sickening new token scheme.
We already linked them with the late luna and it seems that they are proving us right because they follow the approach of luna which is by issuing a new token. Those who lose their money in FTT will have no choice but to agree with the idea. We don't know maybe this will work this time.

For it to be effective, the FTX team may need to provide liquidity right after they distribute the new FTT tokens to those who deserve it and those people have the choice if they want to sell their tokens right away or if they will wait more for it to pump but for me I think I will sell it right away to cover some of my losses and will just invest in a more safer crypto.
920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 11, 2022, 08:41:53 PM
AC Milan has the opportunity to catch points from Napoli, currently they are in second place, eight points adrift of the leaders of the standings. The previous three matches in Serie A produced positive results for AC Milan, only drawing once against Cremonese.
We also believe that the opportunity to extend the striker's contract is very possible, apart from having made a good contribution and currently AC Milan is in second place in the first half of the season standings. Even though the striker is no longer young, I think he is capable of making a contribution and helping the club to be better in the second half of the season.
Looking at the league, Juventus seems like they have a better momentum to be fair, I know that not many people will agree with me here but with players coming back from injury, they may end up playing much better than Milan. In that case we may end up seeing Juventus take the second position first, then they could take the first position from Napoli, only if Napoli starts to lose a lot of games of course.

They still have zero losses, and it is obvious that they are going to eventually have at least one, probably 2-3 by the end of the season at least, and that means if they have only that much, it's fine but if they end up losing 5 games or so from here on out, they may lose that points advantage they have.
