Although Ireland did not do well in other formats of cricket, they showed a glimmer of hope in Test cricket. Especially they had a test match against Bangladesh where almost everyone was new. There have been several player debuts such as Lorcan Tucker, Graham Hume, Benjamin White, Murray Commins, Harry Tector and Curtis Campher. Their debut match performance certainly bodes well. I expect them to improve in Test cricket.
After having test cap in 2018 Ireland play 4 test matches and all lost so how can you say they are better in this format they need good practice and more matches if we want better results from them because with these current figures we can't expect better results from this or any team they are lack of experience and practice which is the main problem for them right now with their domestic setup is also not ideal, and we have no good number of cricket lovers in this country as well because most popular game is soccer after this rugby, and then we have this game which mean its never been easy task for relative authorities.

Mostly their domestic setup is depended on England which is another problem but still things can improve but need good support from ICC and other boards as well which help them for improving their skills and technique right now it's not ideal situation.

Real Madrid left the competition a while ago. They have no interest whatsoever in the remaining games. Eyes will be on the national cup in which Barcelona was recently beaten 0-4 and especially on the CL, in which they have always had great success. They are definitely the favorite against Chelsea. But how are you supposed to go into the last matches as Real Madrid? That certainly doesn't seem easy to me. And Benzema will also have the necessary fear together with Real Madrid that he might get another injury and have to be missed for a while.
Yeah, now they are not interested in the La Liga specially after beating Barcelona for the Copa del Rey because now they have hopes for one trophy, so they are working on another double as Champions League is still in their radar, and they can do this all with their quality and ability La Liga is already under Barcelona belt with difference is 12 points and 10 matches remaining.

Now their eyes are on Chelsea which is currently badly going down and have sacked second coach in this season Carlos Ancelotti is known how to handle things in this competition against teams like Chelsea as they already ruin Liverpool and have enough sources for the going again like this with Chelsea which is now having third coach Frank Lampard which is here for having better end of this season which is looking not easy.

People think Bitcoin could be a way to protect their money if the economy gets uncertain, especially if there's inflation or the value of money goes down. This is because there's only a limited amount of Bitcoin and it's not controlled by any one government or group. But it's also important to remember that Bitcoin can be risky, just like any investment. It's smart to do your own research and talk to experts before you invest any money.
Not some but most investors think that way, and that is a fact. Economies that go bad from good surely accelerate the adoption rate of Bitcoin only if there is enough awareness among the people living within the country that is suffering from a bad economy or an economic crisis. People put their money in investments that will keep them safe from devaluation.

Bitcoin is probably one of the best options people can have in such situations, but it isn't the only option out there. I think real estate and gold are a couple of assets that can be used alternatively to safeguard your wealth from the effects of a bad economy.

Next destination for Ireland is Srilanka and looking at their performance against Bangladesh. I think they will give some tough time to Srilanka too. This team has a bright future. I guess in some years they would be unstoppable.
Sri Lanka is far better than Bangladesh in test format. But Ireland is an unpredictable team at this moment. No one knows how Irish players will perform in the upcoming test matches. Some of them have played pretty well against Bangladesh even though it was their first test match. Paul Stirling may join in the second test match which will bring some hope for them.
In test format Sri Lankans are having good experience and better quality than many other teams which are currently struggling and have no enough manpower to handle this all but sadly their quality and performance need good guide ness which is not coming from their legendary players which is the biggest concern if they have better coaching and strong mentality then surely they can bring back their golden era even now it's not possible to have players like Murali and Sanga but still things can turn positive change.

Ireland is completely new in this format with having just 4 or 5 test matches in last five years which is surely not ideal situation for any team here ICC needs to act properly if they want to have better results in test format, or they need to stop allow teams to play this format because things like currently completely waste of time and energy for them.

Not all legendary footballers ends up as good managers but Vincent Kompany has just joined the league of former footballers who after their footballing career goes on to become elite managers and he did that with his first historic season with Burnley.
After winning their last match and confirming their status as English Premier League team in the 2023/24 season, Burnley players couldn't hold back their  emotional tears and inexplicable joy. Now that the premier league football is assured they'll have to continue with their current tempo and also do some vital summer signings to strengthen the squad
I didn't expect such a quick return for Burnley back to the Premier League
Congratulations to Burnley for qualifying back to the premier league
Vincent Konpany now has shown he deserves to handle a bigger club city after pep leaves maybe
There is no doubt about this all as Burnley and Kompany done amazing job for the return into Premier League and now new era is going to start for the Kompany as if he is able to handle things as Premier League required then surely this could be another great chapter for soccer with a legendary player turn into impressive soccer coach and having historic achievements while we have few badly fail in recent time with their skills as coach.

In 39 games, they lost only 2 games and draw 12 games no other club near to them with record like this in Championship hopefully he will also able to handle big clubs in near future with his skills and technique which helps him for having to bring back Burnley into Premier League very quickly with this amazing record.

36 months would be long enough for you to determine whether a business is running well or not. You can easily determine if your business is profitable in just a span of a year because if not, you might probably be losing even your capital. It is normal to encounter problems in the beginning but if you notice that you are not recovering your losses and the cycle is continuously running, you better check your mistakes, the strategies that you have to polish, and your target market as well. If things still aren't working for you, you don't have to stop trying but rather switch to another location, product, or target market.
Location does play a vital role in the success or failure of a business no matter how big or small. Product(s) can always be changed or modified based on the public interest but only if you determine that your business is set up at a location that usually gets you customers but they are not totally satisfied may be due to the product or the service itself.

That is when you need to have some upgrades or changes around your product and overall service. But if you find the location very dull, with no customers showing up, it is probably best to first shift your business from that place to another, better location and then evaluate other aspects.

Most persons may say no but YES is the actual answer
In the ideal sense the dominance of crypto currencies by women is in great progress. Bitcoin is  the most popular crypto currency and therefore a currency of such will be dominated either now or in the future.
Women engage in crypto currency transactions also like men do the reason you may feel they don't is because those that don't have not much idea about it.
Yes, they do, you can't basically know the actual percentage but they obviously do, and I say this because my wife does cryptocurrency trading, and I know a lot of other women who do it as well, so the answer to your question is yes, of course. The world is moving forward at a very fast pace, and women that are smart understand what they need to do to keep up.

Their involvement with cryptocurrencies will surely increase over time as the word spreads around more. I recently saw the news that in a country, women are dominating the male traders and are earning a higher percentage of profit compared to men.

Lucknow vs SRH! I feel that almost everyone will bet on Lucknow, but I am going with SRH primarily because Markram is back and he could make a huge difference in their squad considering his recent form.

Lucknow are over-dependent on Mayers which is why they need more players to perform well for higher winning chances.
Lucknow's last season was too good and the current season their start was also decent despite losing second match against CSK which was not bad for them but here SRH is surely going with same story which they have in last season most chances they could be going to end with last four spots because they have few good players but strategy and luck both are not going with them and Lucknow can come back strongly in this match with their batting is amazing but needs to have Pooran at higher spot because he is big player for the big matches and surely deserve better number for batting.

Here at Lucknow toss is surely have important role in result with spinners are going to be had crucial role as well hopefully we will have another entertaining match.
969  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which Altcoins Have Good Opportunities in the Next Year on: April 06, 2023, 05:50:09 PM
if I still choose Ethereum, because until whenever Ethereum is the right choice to be an investment and have the opportunity for the price to increase very high (at least $10k), therefore I will definitely choose Ethereum to be a long-term investment, because investing in Ethereum is definitely profitable for me and now is still the right time for you to invest in Ethereum, because the price of Ethereum is still cheap and haven't reached its ATH price, so you can get a big profit in the future from investing in Ethereum at this time.
ETH has the same power as BTC but only for the altcoin market and whenever someone ask a question like the OP is asking, people don't think for too long anymore but ETH is the altcoin that automatically popped on their heads. Wishing $10k for Ethereum is like wishing for the BTC to reach $100k. If it's possible for BTC then why not for ETH? And maybe by the moment BTC hit that latest target, ETH will also follow up and hit $10k immediately.

We can watch both coins grow but we will have a better experience if we will join their journey by continuously buying the said coins. We only need to hodl them strongly and avoid getting distracted as much as possible as long-term investor's life ain't easy.
970  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin usage in crime activity. on: April 06, 2023, 11:46:22 AM
Criminal activities can be carried out with any means, from cash to bank transactions. The idea that bitcoins are a tool to help criminals is a widespread thesis among Italian rulers. To those who think these things I always answer in the same way: a knife can be used to cut bread or to attack a person. It is not the tool that is dangerous but how it is used!
That's right, it's utter rubbishness by those who link Bitcoin or any asset out there with criminals or their activities knowing that they are not bound to use a single asset or currency to carry out their operations. We all know, even the authorities, that criminals have been using fiat for all their activities for centuries, but we never blamed fiat for being a criminal currency, then why the hypocrisy when it comes to Bitcoin?

I remember, a few years back, the mainstream media tried to do the same thing with Bitcoin, trying to make the general public think that it's a bad thing and only criminals use it and the general public shouldn't, but what happened is that they failed miserably, and the result is in front of us.
971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chasing looses Vs Finding closure: Any difference? on: April 06, 2023, 06:32:45 AM
there are few people who accept defeats and losses, for example when a person is very proud and hates to lose and that person goes to a casino to play poker, that person starts to lose, that person will hardly stop playing because he feels that he is being humiliated , they are destroying his pride, and he still believes that in the next game he can reverse all defeats, the game is not just about the money he lost, for that person to win will mean returning his pride, the only way to make it stop to play will be when he runs out of money and they remove him from the table, but even when that person leaves the table, he will continue thinking about defeat and with that thought tormenting him
Gambling is not for people with pride, because it is not possible to not lose in gambling at all, and if that hurts their ego and they take an oath that they won't stop until they win back every penny, that will be the point from where their life will probably start getting imbalanced, and eventually, they will ruin themselves just because of their pride and ego.

Only patient people can gamble without bearing any life-changing losses since they can make up their minds to accept the losses and not chase them because they have strong control over their emotions.

Omg some time ago Elon Musk again shocked the cryptocurrency community by changing his Twitter home profile and as the owner of Twitter which became the symbol of Doge Coin, now Doge has increased by 24% recorded today at https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/dogecoin there is always this behavior of influential people.
Do you think Elonmusk's movement can make Doge return to the moon?
It is still unknown as to why he did this, whether it is an April Fool's joke or he is just trolling the authorities for the lawsuit against him regarding dogecoin, but whatever the reason is, the hype has made the price surge, and those who were already invested in it must have gotten great profits today and yesterday.

Whatever the reason was, whatever had to happen had happened already, and those who might be planning to invest in it now just with the hope that they might get some profit should not do it as the hype is already over and it might start dropping back soon.
973  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto traders beaten by girls on: April 05, 2023, 04:05:56 PM
I'm curious about what personal attitudes or actions from girls can help to make profitable trading.
We all know that there are differences in attitudes or physical actions between girls and boys.
Maybe boys intend to become more greedy compared to girls?
I wouldn't agree with that, girls are generally more greedy and they can get more quickly influenced when there is money involved, so that wouldn't be the reason behind them leading this survey. One thing I can think of is that maybe they are leading the investment survey because girls/women tend to be more patient than most men/boys.

Being patient is one of the key elements when it comes to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency investments because that is what keeps you together and makes you hold your positions strong even at times when the market is crashing or isn't doing so well.
974  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 05, 2023, 03:21:00 PM
MU vs Brentford it will be an exciting match when these two great teams will meet.
of course, most people want MU to win against Brentford, but you need to remember that Brentford is a strong team and sometimes they attack suddenly and attack quickly.
if you look at the previous matches, there is a possibility that MU will win against Brentford or at least be able to draw.

for my prediction this time I hold MU, hoping that something surprising won't come again
After few impressive weeks suddenly Manchester United are on brink of losing their momentum which could be not ideal because right now they need to play with their best specially in today match if they want to stay in for the top four then full three points are important because Newcastle United and Tottenham both are also improving and can over through them for the top four spots but with having advantage of two matches things still in favor of Manchester United in next two games which are going to play at home against two dangerous sides full points will be amazing and give them advantage otherwise their hopes for ending at top surely going to have big setback and Newcastle United could be ending with their dream end of this season.

Brentford is dangerous side with aggressive approach, but now it's time for the Eric ten Hag to play with his best strategy and give his team better look for this match and win.
975  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 05, 2023, 02:45:50 PM
The beautiful game of football is really full of surprises. Just few days ago Bayern Munich won the game against their arch rival Borussia Dortmund in the bundesliga when I never thought they would, today they are beaten by Freiburg at Alianz Arena. Although, Freiburg has been having a fantastic campaign this season but I never saw the defeat coming. Their last outing, they were beaten by Leverkusen on penalties as Leverkusen were crown winner of the trophy. Maybe luck is smiling on them again with another chance. Kudos to Freiburg.
Freiburg is not a bad team, they really know how to fight.
We can say that Bayern was a little unlucky in the match. They wouldn't have lost this game if it wasn't for the last minute penalty, the defense made a mistake. Of course, however, it is a bit interesting that they did not score a goal, when I looked at the quality of attack in the previous match, I thought that they would score 3-4 goals in this match as well.
Now everyone on the internet says that Nagelsmann is laughing Smiley
No doubt about Freiburg ability but their current form is not good as they have four draws in Bundesliga and now having trouble for staying at the four spot because things looking no favorable for them with this current performance, but this win can bring change in fortune with good mindset for the next game against Bayern Munich which is going to play on 8th April at Freiburg home for the Bundesliga title race and if we have another performance like this from Freiburg then surely situation could be change and Borussia Dortmund can again take the lead at the top Freiburg can also feel secure for the fourth spot but in case of lost they will be in trouble because Leipzig is having just 2 points difference which is surely achievable for them and having better end of this season.
976  Economy / Economics / Re: Banks are a business, and you are the cash cow on: April 04, 2023, 09:35:20 PM
Banks are indeed a problem at the moment, we are too dependent on banks so that when we deposit money there will be many rules, and if we want to take it then it takes a long process and time, if we borrow from banks and are late then large fines will be applied, but if we are on time or before due they just say thank you.
To be honest, they are not considered a problem by a large, or the largest part of the human population, and that is because they fulfill the needs of almost everyone when it comes to managing, storing, or using their finances though it costs them money, they seem to have no other option but to use their services and products.

The process might be time-consuming, they might charge fees, and you may have to submit a whole lot of documents to get a simple thing done, but at the end of the day, they are the only ones that will do the work you need to be done, so we have no option other than to become cash cows for their business.
977  Economy / Speculation / Re: I missed the bottom or i have time to invest on: April 04, 2023, 09:11:08 PM
Regardless of your capital and experience in crypto trading the best investment strategy for everyone IMO is to invest for long term. Day trading (or short term trading) may look attractive to those who are not into it but once you start doing day trading you can feel the heat. There are very few people who can handle the wild fire of Day Trading.
Bitcoin price is going up and this is time when experience traders sell and novice people buy. One need to be careful if he is buying bitcoin at current price since in bullish market there is always risk involved which is more then bear market. DYOR.
Generally, long-term investments don't require any skills or understanding of all the patterns, technical points of view, and everything else, all you need to understand is when the price is low and that is where you buy or you just do DCA from the beginning of when the price starts to drop, and the next step is just to hold on to your assets.

On the other hand, day trading requires you to have technical knowledge and experience, an understanding of the market and how it moves, and on top of that, good enough capital to maximize the profits earned on a daily basis.
978  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Investment: Good Debts vs Bad Debts on: April 03, 2023, 08:50:41 PM
Any debt is a lack of freedom. Do you like to get up every morning and enjoy freedom? So any debts always land the debtor. We cannot know our future, no one is insured against anything, but having borrowed, we are confident that we can make a profit, or repay debts on time, we can make a mistake in our plans.
I don't see the need to always be indebted to someone. Therefore, I prefer to live on what I have and invest only my own money. It may not be the best strategy, but feeling like you don't owe anyone is much calmer for me.
That's probably true and I also believe that debts are like a burden on your shoulders, no matter how big or small, if you are indebted, you can simply not stay happy at all unless you are in the process of repaying the debt gradually. I believe no one would like to have such feelings of burden and having no freedom, but it's just that some people think they can make things in their lives better if they borrow some money, which isn't always correct.

I believe, just as you said, having your own investment even if its too small and doesn't generate so much profit, you would at least have peace of mind, and you can enjoy your life without much stress and tension.
979  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price and my mindset on: April 03, 2023, 06:55:32 PM
Just to add here a bit, only do business if you are confident in it. You can't just get a source of income from any business, instead you can loose a lot of money if you are not dedicated and give time.
It's obviously not a good idea to start a business first without a proper business plan and evaluation of each and every situation and outcome that can be faced after starting the business, and it should only be executed if everything seems possible and is set to work just as planned, otherwise, it will only go in vein and the money will be lost.

About Bitcoin trading, I partly feel the same way because I find it relieving and it probably will also allow you to have more free time if you are a full-time trader and are earning a living through it. But, I think it's only possible if you have a pretty big capital, to begin with.
980  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: We are about to enter altcoin season, what do you think? on: April 02, 2023, 07:19:54 PM
Most people commenting here are themselves craving for the altcoin season to start and thus affirming their own bubble. In true sense nobody actually know when it will happen and hence the waiting game continues. Bitcoin in the meantime has performed well through the economics downsides and have given profits to its loyal holders if they sold at 29k USD after buying at 19k USD.

Please do limit your altcoin bags to a bare minimum because their future is never seems to be promising and they only lead to burnout and frustration.
You are probably right that there is basically no perfect time or season for altcoins or even for Bitcoin as to when one should buy, that is the reason why they say it's very difficult to time the market perfectly, and one should grab the opportunity when it is available. Those who didn't buy Bitcoin when it was at $19k will surely regret it, and then those who didn't do it when it was around $22k in the hope that it will drop more, have almost missed the train.

So it's simply better if we somehow make use of the current market instead of waiting patiently for better times as we never know, what if the market starts going right up from this point? We will regret not buying at the current price later on.
