941  Economy / Economics / Re: "Be your own Bank with Bitcoin" - A reminder why this is so important! on: September 25, 2022, 09:12:42 PM
Being your own bank is just one side of it, the other side which can not be ignored is still there, that is, exchange that btc into cash for spending, btc is not widely accepted and so the need to exchange to fiat through the bank still very much needed.
For now bank is the necessary evil which we have to deal with until such time btc becomes acceptable in all part of the world.
In other words, bitcoin for now is only just an alternative to the real banks or to the fiats. Or maybe it will remain this way forever? Since, it's almost impossible to use your btc in most of the common services that we know locally to the fact that bitcoin is digital and there are some things which can work perfectly without having the need of internet, computers, mobile phones and other gadgets.

You can always try to use your btc for buying dry goods online since there are many shops now are accepting a bitcoin. In terms of exchanging our btc into fiat. There are places that you can do it without needing to go to an actual bank, if you are allergic with their presence.

I think Brazil are one of the favourite to lift the world cup this year, they have so many talented players in that team, I watch there game against Ghana and I think that team can win the trophy, having vinicius jr and neymar in there is great to watch two players that can break any defence, then their is Richarlison the new Tottenham Hotspur signing he is so strong and skilful with the ball,he scored two goals against Ghana, is not only their attack that is good, there defence has players like thiago Silva, marquanos, militao and Gremer so you see they are covered everywhere.
Actually brazil has many reliable sticker options, not only relying on neymar but brazil still has young attackers who are very dangerous. some of them became key players in their respective clubs. besides richarlison, there are other young strikers who are very talented, i prefer gabriel jesus style of play than richarlison.

Tite benefits from the many players he has in his squad, both strikers, midfielders and defenders. this is an advantage for Tite to be able to win the world cup in Qatar later.
I believe Brazil has a great chance at the World Cup, because they have very complete and talented players in their respective positions.
Brazil's beauty is they have never been depended on one player mostly they have enough quality players those are capable of giving their best and with this mostly in this event they are in list of top four favorite teams because every time they have fair chance for staying in and going up in this event currently mostly peoples are talking about Neymar's quality, but he is not alone they have too many stars like Richarlison who is doing amazing job and have good performance in his last few matches is also good player.

Their biggest advantage is mostly their players have good adjustment in all conditions which give them good benefit right now most of the players are involved in different clubs and giving good performance which is also had good impact on team and their performance in World Cup.
943  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price with a 4 year cycle? on: September 25, 2022, 08:28:52 AM
The percentage level of decline in Bitcoin has always been different in the time period you mentioned and yes it is also the rate of increase in every four years because Bitcoin is not at the same ATH in every four years. That's the evidence that many people have seen by now and the possibility for a major upgrade cycle over the course of every four years, I think will still be there and happening in Bitcoin.
But as the cycle continues the percentage will not be the same obviously. The rate of increase might be somewhat lessen as compare to the previous run. It's because the price is really very high or going to a level that not everyone can invest a lot and only the whales will have the money to invest huge amount. In any case though, we average joe can be part of the next bull run, just invest small and what we can afford in this bear market. And maybe in the next bull run, the price will be in the 6 digit
Percentage may of course change, which it has every time we have gone up, but the idea that it will be bigger than the last ATH will stay, we do not drop too much further anymore, we do not stay at ATH anymore, that's what the cycle means.

Last cycle we went from under 1k to over 20k and dropped to 3k and never seen under 1k again, this cycle we managed to go over 20k ,and seen it reach 68k and drop to around 18k at lowest and never seen under 10k again. Next time around I guarantee it will be over 68k, and it is going to be something like "never see under 40k again" or maybe 50k who knows. That's how it progresses, so it gives ease of mind to me for sure.
944  Economy / Economics / Re: Banks are changing ..... Bitcoin should wake up and innovate more! on: September 24, 2022, 04:08:10 PM
The increasing development of bitcoin makes many banks owners worry, even countries that have full control of the economy choose banned, they think that the decentralization system brought by Bitcoin will damage the national economic order so that they do everything possible to stop Bitcoin.
No, the thing is they are not worried.... they have loads of money to hire the best Crypto currency developers in the world to develop new centralized digital currencies for them.

Take for instance a former Bitcoin developer like Mike Hearn that was a senior software engineer at Google... he left Bitcoin and started to work for a enterprise blockchain builder ...R3. (Corda) ....a platform that was developed specifically to be used by Banks and other centralized financial services.  Roll Eyes
People will always assume the very best for bitcoin but the reality is that we shouldn't be really worried about banks, they will always find a way to get involved. If push comes to shove, they will build their own exchanges, all those big banks that love to get your money do things with it? They will find a way to be like a wallet and an exchange at the same time so that you would store your crypto with them as well. What will they do with it?

I do not know but I am sure that they will find a way and not left behind. People put too much emphasis on how decentralized bitcoin is, and forget that we are not decentralized as humans, so we could just give our money to them if they offer good rates and security, which will be risky.
945  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: September 24, 2022, 09:12:30 AM
so Federer officially retired today after the match with Nadal against Tifaoe and Jack Sock, it was an entertaining and sadly Nadal and Federer lost, we also lost a legend who gave everything to tennis and was one of the greatest players of all time, he started crying right after the match ended and i couldn't myself hold my tears seeing him saying his last goodbye, it always sucks seeing legends retire.
Surely this was a good entertaining match after winning first set they lost second on tiebreaker and then third as well with this lost now World and Europe both are level in points which are 2 - 2 24th September is rest day, and now we will proceed rest of this event on 25th September.

I check about this in last four years all events won by Europe and World never been able to beat them which is very interesting because European quality is surely on its best with three big giants from Europe, and they never allow anyone to beat them in this event. I am feeling sad now we will never have Roger Federer in tennis court as he already announces his retirement from all events with great memories and amazing stuff which he has done during his time in Tennis courts around the world.

I think we can already see the pressure of World Cup approaching on internal clubs but also on national teams are tonight we have Nations League and big teams like England or Germany are really having a slow pace game in order to avoid injuries or anything similar. Also , with this Nations League games , South American teams are having an advantage because players are extra rested than some others.

This nations league is apsolute stupid stuff and just a waste of player strengths. Europeans best teams are really bad lately and i dont think they will reach their top levels once the world cup begins. Most disappointing are Germany and England. France played really good so we can see them going far but others i dont think they can do much
Today after watching few matches now I am feeling surely this is completely waste of the time and energy for UEFA teams and players even no country taking this seriously and mostly matches are going very slow pace which is surely good as they don't want to have injuries or any other issues which bring them more headache before this World Cup which is no just two months away from us.

Germany lost match at home against Hungry and Italy won against England both were completely bore matches which were giving no positive impression to anyone but no one can do anything now just wait for the start of this mega event and biggest entertainment which is surely going to be on the top when we will have quality competitions from the teams which are coming for this event.
947  Economy / Economics / Re: Iranian launching Crypto Rial on: September 24, 2022, 05:01:01 AM
Is the type that will be launched by Iran different from the CBDC? this means iran prefers to create stablecoins for their country's currency rather than CBDC. like that?

If you think about it, it really isn't that any different. CBDCs are centralized, and at the same time most stablecoins are centralized as well anyway. Even stablecoins can be frozen even if you're using a non-custodial wallet. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5204055.0
This is what I have been supporting as well, people are seeing what they are seeing as a way of making money from stablecoins that are controlled by companies, but when it comes down to stablecoins made by governments they are not really attracted to it at all.

I have to say I will stay away from both of them as much as I could, there is no need to invest into something that is centralized and it doesn't make any sense at all. But at the end of the day if we are talking about picking or choosing one of them than it means I am going to end up with government managed ones because they are still more trustworthy than some random company that created some coin.
948  Economy / Economics / Re: Iranian launching Crypto Rial on: September 23, 2022, 09:07:01 PM
If you ask me I would say, that's just a joke. The inflation rate is very high in Iran and people won't trust any type of currency that is related to their government because they think if they hold they will have problems even with supplying food and first needs, now the Iranian central bank is launching the digital rial(It's not crypto rial) which is same as the traditional fiat rial and this can be just because of the interest in cryptocurrencies in this country.
Not a joke but the information might be incorrect or misleading because you said it wasn't related to crypto but anyway not only in Iran where the inflation rates are high but this issue is felt globally.

There must be people that will try to use the newly issued currency because it's related to their government. They will assume that it's more trusted than any other currencies out there but if all what they what is to hodl then that's a different story anymore. Government owned currencies are I think different from cryptos. They don't have a limited supply so they won't work well in terms of hodling/investing but they can function well in terms of payment use.

have nothing following now because after the dump happened this year? I lose interest in new project and instead choose to keep hold and buy old coins and those ranking currencies instead of new one.
there are so much scamming and cheats from new projects and really hard to understand how to find legit one.
so better to check deeply before sharing here or else you will be the one to blame if they fail to earn some amount from their investments.
That's fine mate because the OP isn't giving out a suggestion for us to follow but he is the one that asks for a recommendation. If we are honest and our intention is to help someone else then yes it's always a must to research the project first before recommending it to others.

Quote
after the dump happened this year? I lose interest in new project
But, why you didn't lose interest in old projects when their prices are also dumping hard? There is always a risk in new projects no matter what is the status of the market but even in older projects they too have a risk although not too much. If you are serious or wise about investing a crypto then you should always go for the trusted coin with years of experience.
950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chinese version of Metaverse will be great for meta casinos. on: September 23, 2022, 07:02:31 PM
I think AR/VR will never replace the real world. Check Meta’s stock price it is going down into toilet. People are simply not interested in this shit. I know I am not. Some people will try it out eventually but Zuck made a bug mistake with changing the corporate’s name in to Meta imo and we can see the effects on the price of the stock. Right not MeTa is the (or one of the) cheapest social media stock there is and it is being priced like it is going bankrupt. That should give you an idea .
They didn't say that it will replace the things that we usually see in the real world but they are only an alternative when we want to experience something in the real world but we can't do due to some reasons. Meta's stock price is falling down because there was a dip that is experienced lately on many markets, therefore many assets are also affected not only the meta. The fall of the price in their stock, does not mean that their idea of having a metaverse is a failure. Not all likes new innovation but there are some who are into it.

Right not MeTa is the (or one of the) cheapest social media stock there is and it is being priced like it is going bankrupt. That should give you an idea .
It's price might have dumped a lot but I don't think a big company like meta will get bankrupt. This should not scare investors but they will invest more on it actually.
951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: September 22, 2022, 06:55:00 PM
The match is going to be held in the Gabba. So obviously Australia is going to have some advantages. But I don't think the differences are going to be heaven and hell.

Whenever Australia is facing off against South Africa in a test match we know that we are in for a treat. I am expecting some good action in this match. Good quality pace bowling and some ferocious bounce bowling. These are the types of matches that catch the eye of spectators. And I hope there is not going to be any controversy in this series. Want to see a good quality test(but not gonna watch any test match from the beginning till the end anyway though)
In Australia, venues do matter but I didn't check the list yet but sure it won't be a surprise if they are keeping 1 test at Gabba. After all it's their fortress, although it has been already breached by inexperienced Indian kids in 2021.

Winning there is a difficult task indeed but not impossible.
After the World Cup in Australia we have two test match series first is West indies is going to play against them with first test match is going to play at Perth from 30 November to 4 December, and then we have second test match which is going to play at Adelaide, from 8 December to 12 December this is Day/Night match.

After this series we have another one of the most interesting series with Australia is going to face South Africa first test match is going to be played at Brisbane from 17 December to 21 December after this we have Boxing Day match which is surely going to play at Melbourne, from 26 December to 30 December and then last test match which is going to play at Sydney from 4 January to 8 January this is complete schedule for these seasons in Australia.

I agree about this it's not mission impossible but surely a difficult task for South Africans because they are having issues in England and can face same in this country Australia.
952  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 22, 2022, 03:33:49 PM
Every club has a season of their down time, and this season could be Bayern Munich down time, but however not until the season is finished. I do still believe at a point they will get up from their slumber, but literally they need to start getting things going in the right, hence it could be late for them and they might even find it very difficult and struggle to qualify for next season champions league game competition if they continue with this hands and keep going downwards in their league table.
Agreed, it's very painful to see that how bad the performance from bayern in last matches of bundesliga. I meant if it's not going straight with the performance of bayern in the champion league. This may become a big question for all of fans. If bayern will be getting another draw or lose again and the chance to be the top 4 is become even very small than before. Bayern needs to be qualified for the next champion league if that was failed in this season.
Concerns are rising even voices are still not loud because of their amazing performance in Champions League, but their performance in Bundesliga is surely having poor time and peoples are feeling departure of Robert Lewandowski having big impact but as we can watch they are doing good sadly they are fail to convert their chances which is surely a problem but as Coach saying he has faith in new players, and they could be on target in next few matches as things are under development.

Sadio Mané is surely quality player and done good job in past but right now he is having issues which is surely going to solve by time, and we will have good changes in coming weeks after International break but if things are not going to settle then surely we will have change in coach which is Thomas Tuchel and this is going to be good for them as they are serious looking for command in league.

Ajax has sold quite a few key players this season. However, their performance is not too weak. They have earned 18 points in 7 matches. They are second in the table as they are behind on goal difference. However, Ajax's match strategy is better than PSV's. PSV's performance is good now but I doubt how long they can maintain this consistency.
In last transfer window Ajax has done good transfers specially most players sold on high price which is good for their finances, and they have no negative impact on quality because now they are having few youths those are doing good job and this is going to be more profitable for them in coming transfer window because their agents are doing good job and giving them quality youths which are having good skills which are helping these youths and Ajax both in positive way.

Currently, they are second in Dutch League with same points but on goals difference they are behind PSV which is having good start of this season after losing their Champions League spot in qualifier it's long season and both teams surely going to be good with Feyenoord is also having good start and good players for having good chance for staying into top ranks for rest of this season.
954  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: September 21, 2022, 05:38:51 PM
Barcelona has won their last two away matches against Real Madrid. And in both matches Barcelona players dominated. Barcelona won 4-0 against Real Madrid in last season's away match. So even if the next match is Real Madrid's home match, Barcelona will definitely win if they play well.
But with Real Madrid's consistency now, they are very difficult to beat. Real Madrid played amazingly against Atletico Madrid in the last match. And so, the next match of Barcelona vs Real Madrid will definitely be competitive and enjoyable. So far the chances of both teams winning are 50-50.
Grin What is the point of remembering that victory of Barcelona in a game that no longer decided anything for Real? Real Madrid by that time had already solved the problem of the championship in La Liga and was focused on the Champions League. Plus, since that game, the compositions of both teams have changed significantly - in fact, Barcelona has become a different team altogether, and Real have made small changes. I agree that it will be an interesting game, but there is no point in linking it with the results of previous meetings.
Surely now there is no point for having these games for future but still we can talk about future games which are going to have big impact on this league end because with current form Real Madrid is surely having big advantage, and they are not allowing any opponent for giving them tough challenge, but Barcelona has never been easy team for them and with current performance level both are level and with this all most chances matches between these two teams are going to decide who is going to be winner of this season because Real Madrid beats Atlético Madrid which is amazing stuff from them with this now we have no easy game for Barcelona against Real Madrid.

Still if they are able to play like they already play against them in past two games then most chances they are going to be winner because they are surely having the toughest defense in this league.

It was a terrific run chase by Australia to win the match. Wade's performance was excellent. A big congratulations goes out to the Australian Men's Cricket Team. The Indian bowling attack needs to be improved. As a death overs bowler, Bhuvaneswar often proves to be a failure with wayward bowling and too many wide balls. The closing woes of Bumrah should be fixed. The match was lost because of missed lbw reviews and catches.

During the Asia Cup, Virat Kohli was a regular performer, but then he struggled against Australia. It will be interesting to see if he has regained his form.
Sometimes I really feel annoyed because we need every time perfect results and performance from players and never feel they are also humans and have issues with health and off the field as well which are having big impact on their performance as well in yesterday game India set a good target which was surely not easy to chase but Australians done good fight and specially good performance from Green and Wade give them win which is nothing special because one team needs to be winner in this game and Australia were better, so they won.

We need to praise both sides as they give good entertaining game with their best performance, but sadly we are still looking for better from Kohli, and we are not happy with Bhuvie even both done good job as we have from others in this game you can't expect 100% from one player in every game because it's never been natural in game specially in cricket.
956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: September 21, 2022, 08:30:54 AM
I personally think Arsenal has no ability to win the title. Arsenal may be playing well now. But their squad is of average quality. This season they played 7 matches, in these 7 matches the strongest team they face was Manchester United. Manchester United is also in a very weak form. However, Arsenal lost this match. And so it is easy to predict that Arsenal will drop points when they face Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham, or Chelsea. But if Arsenal can perform well against strong teams and get full points then they have a chance to win the title. But its possibility is very less.
I agree about this Arsenal is still not good for having chance in title race because their first big match give us better view about them and still they have to face many big teams in coming rounds of this season which are not easy for them even many teams are not performing well in this season like Liverpool, Chelsea, West Ham and Leicester City are badly down in league table which is surely wired but here Arsenal have good chance for staying into top four even this is also too early because we have 31 more rounds left in this season which will decide who is going to be at top.

Surely here is strong point if Arteta able to keep this momentum until end of this season then surely it's going to be very interesting, and they can do much better than last season or even this could be good for them after long time they could be in limelight for title race.

I doubt that there's any issue on the OP's account regarding potential fraudulent activities as they would not just limit the account but rather put a hold on it. I think it is most likely that the providers are reviewing his account and checking previous and future bets made and that will determine the limit that they'll set on the next update on the account. I suggest that OP should contact support at least every 1-2 weeks and see if there's any update about the limit on his account to avoid further delay on continuous back and forth email update.
It is reasonable because it does happen time to time. In these cases, I feel like KYC should be resolving all these question marks, let people gamble however they want if they are willing to fill the KYC, that way if they do anything wrong then you have their information and could use legal rights, if they do nothing wrong then you won't have to do it.

People should not be considering this as a problem, if you have a limited bet, then it is a good thing because you should bet very little anyway, do not lose a lot of money betting. A casino limiting the bets of a gambler is actually hurtful to casino, not the gambler, this way gambler will lose less, and casino will earn less too.
958  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Choices: Gamble or Help the poor ? on: September 20, 2022, 11:48:21 AM
there are small chances to help people while Gambling is always there to bring us enjoyment so why need to choose between the 2?

if you have option to help others then do it perfectly , and if there is another small amount left then that is the funds for gambling to lose.

and don't try doubling the money mate because it is something that we should understand as it will completely for losses.
For you? And maybe the type of people that you will help are only your relatives or family but to some, they never hesitate to help the poor more if they win in their gambling activities. There's this different kind of feeling that they experience right after they lend a help which cant be experienced in gambling alone.

There is no need for us to take time to choose properly between helping the poor and playing a gambling but we can always do both of them because helping doesn't always need to be big and there is no need to sacrifice our own enjoyment only for the sake of other people. We must always prioritize ourselves first before them.

I just do not trust crypto signals, and I can assure you that if they send out signals without asking for anything in return, then perhaps they were effective. However, in my estimation, their signals may be effective, but not for very long. I wish you the greatest luck in the days and years to come, but I will caution you to not invest too much dollars into a single coin because you risk losing everything if the signal doesn't execute.
It's a reasonable logic to not trust them, doesn't make sense to trust them to be fair, looking at how they are usually, it just doesn't show any type of promise to me. I have been part of a lot of stuff and in the end I shouldn't really be focusing on anything at all regarding these deals.

Personally I feel like the best thing to do would be staying away from them. Doesn't mean that we couldn't find other methods to make profit, I have been investing for the long term for a while now and doing fine, I just do not make any trades based on signals of others. So you are doing the right thing, hence just keep doing what you do and you should be fine.

Home ground or not, Aussies are always good in ICC tournaments.

Sri Lanka tasted a new success after a long time, actually they performed better in the last 2-3 months, so they are in good form.

South Africa is also upping their game. England and Australia are already terrific sides. Pakistan can surprise anyone. India is a big team but in ICC tournaments they are choking since 2013-14. Then we have Kiwis and Windies. Safe to say that this T-20 WC is going to be a belter.
ICC events when going to be played in Australia surely have great impact on this game and fans with this now this time we are going to have very good competition in this event with many teams are doing good and having enough quality for going through in last fours even right now predictions are not easy because recently forms are changing, and few teams are suffering badly with injuries and other related things as well.

England is surely having not good time with this most chances Asian teams are going to be dominating in this event because they are well-prepared and have enough quality to do better in Aussies sports favoring conditions which will be game changer for many players.
