1121  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP future looks shaky and uncertain on: March 02, 2023, 11:23:36 PM
This has become something that many crypto lovers know, which is why at the moment XRP is only used as a coin to make a profit because of its up and down price movements but more than that XRP has no future, the only advantage is that this coin is still listed on many major exchanges so it looks like this coin has a future but actually it doesn't.
actually there are only few big exchange that listed XRP such as Binance and some but majority of big exchange had delisted this year ago and that alarms other investors so they leave this coin.
and at some chance you are correct that it looks like this coin has no future same is the reason why I sell all my Ripple last year and now hold a different coin that has no big problem like this one.

This issue has been running for a long time since Ripple has been facing different charges but the good thing is, it's still being trusted by many investors and it's still actively moving and reaching a good spot despite the challenges that it has been facing. For me, as long as it's being listed on a top exchange, it is still worth buying and holding. It can still be profitable, especially during the bullish season.
Maybe those investors are still  in hopes that one day this coin will reach the top again like what it does in the past years and also what this is facing now is a serious offence that they will need to take longer than in was.
Ripple is one of the most promising coin when I entered crypto market but nowadays? I am starting to fear that chances.
Thats true, once it was a hard competing asset for ethereum. At some instance it took the second position on the coinmarketcap. The market being controlled is the major reason for the market being described negatively. Even now this has got more products and partnership with different firms. In all means the centralised power can be felt and the same makes it easy manipulative.

The best time to be a Manchester United fan is now, you must be happy at the end of every of their games, you can’t lose hope in them till the game is over, their late winnings, their comeback goals and their perseverance is non to compare with. Ten hang is the man! United is the club, Old Trafford is our pride. GGMU.
What a comeback. The first goal have come for West West Ham United at the 54th minute. Following this goals have come for Manchester United at 77th, 90th and in the additional time 95th minutes. At the first half without goals kept both the team in good confidence. The goal coming from West Ham makes them even more confident. However it looks like the momentum is with the Manchester United from the beginning. Finally they took credit of it with the three late goals.

Peshawer Zalmi vs Karachi Kings
In this 17th match of HBL PSL Peshawer Zalmi will face his rival Karachi kings but due to injury of amir the rivality will be little bit off color but anyway king Baber are available so don't worry everyone will get full fun through baber cover drive. Peshawer performance are not doubt awesome they score 200+ against the strongest bowling lineup of PSL so they will easy manage against the Karachi kings. Toss has been done Karachi won the toss and allow Peshawer to bat first. Now let's see who will take 4th position in PSL standing because this match will decide.
Karachi was on 178/8 and Zalmi won by 28 runs.
Good day for Zalmi and bad day for Karachi - The captain for Karachi Kings says they need a lot of improvement in the next matches.
No doubt Karachi bowling play well they dismissed two main player of Peshawer in first over of the match but later Peshawer middle order big Powell , TKC and young talent haseeb-ullah crushed them brutally and build this handsome target of 197. Peshawer bowling lineup were weak in previous matches as expected but giving chance to H.Omarzai , mujeeb-ur-Rehman, Amir.jamal put the Zalmi bowling on fire they combinely take all eight wickets and take match from them. Now finally Peshawer strongely take 4th postion in PSL standing under captaincy of Baber Azam 👑
Even when the wicket fall continues Roman Powell and Haseebullah Khan have scored runs at good strike rate. This is why they were able to make good target. On the other side Karachi Kings had a better start from Wade, but the middle order didn't contribute good. Bowling is good, because during the 15th over itself the required runrate have gone above 15 runs which itself a big pressure at the end overs.

How many teams have got different squad for test and other formats of cricket. Yesterday England team played test match against New Zealand and lost it. Today England team have played against Bangladesh and won the match. This is good, because more players get opportunity to play for the country than just the same team playing every format of cricket.

India can try this kind of different squad for different format of cricket. BCCI have categorised the players on some category and have different salary slab.

I think the idea of having a different squad or multiple squads is actually very good. Especially for those teams which does have a lot of players. We know that the top teams like India, England, and Australia does have a lot of player waiting for a chance to play. If they have multiple squads, a lot of young players will be able to get the chance of playing and a lot of young talents will also come forward.

Another thing is, having multiple squads is also going to ensure that one country is being able to play in multiple tournaments and also against multiple countries at the same time.
Creating space for many players to play against different countries seems to good with the multiple squad. Based on the players availability those mentioned teams can go with this. However playing multiple tournaments in the same schedule doesn't seem to be fair. It'll be simply annoying, because we can't watch either of the match.

Zverev and O'Connel are playing each other right now. They do not take each other much away and each usually finishes his own service game quickly. Zverev won the first set 7:5 and just now Zverev is powering up a bit and takes his first break point in Set 2 after 4:4. It looks like Zverev will win and finally reach his first quarter-final after his injury.

Edit: And he has won. The last set went very quickly for Zverev. That victory gives him a lot of self-confidence.
This means Zverev is getting back his form. The first set seems to be little close and the second set have come easier. Now he's to play Sonego on the quarter finals. Possibly with the winning momentum favouring him, he'll win Sonego. Earlier Sonego have won against Augur Aliassime 77-64 6-4. He will be performing well and in his previous match he have lost against Andy Murray very closer in the Qatar Open.

Australia won the day and they are ahead of India so far, not the first time in this series tho. At times they were in the exactly same position but Indians fought back and Aussie lost the plot.

So Aussies need to play cool, keep their emotions in check and try not to waste this golden chance because this is their best chance to win the test, not many teams get this opportunity. Having said that Indians are no pushovers either, yeah they had an off day at work but they are a strong outfit and if they get a little bit of sniff tomorrow then they will make life very tough for Australia.

Their top batsmen are back in pavilion, including Marnus Labuschagne, Usman Khawaja and Steven Smith. It will be a tough task for them to get to a total of 200, given how the pitch is assisting the Indian spinners. Peter Handscomb and Cameron Green are at the crease now, and so far they have struggled against Ashwin and Jadeja. And after these two, they have Alex Carey and he is the last recognized batsman. And after Carey they have four tail-end batsmen in Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Todd Murphy and Matthew Kuhnemann.
They already have 47 runs lead.

If they play really badly then they will add minimum 50 more runs, this is a very big lead IMO. Anything above that scenario would be game over for the Indians.

Indians have to bat their hearts out to overcome this deficit, not impossible for this Indian team despite top order being out of form tho. You would still back them to bounce back because of their past record.


Even at their worst Australia will have 100+ runs lead. This is going to be a big fight for India team. Handscomb and Green on the crease should bring good runs. Same as the previous match it is Jadeja doing the best. If Ashwin have taken few wickets, then Australia would've experienced little pressure situation.

Everytime the last players can't be believed, things can happen just like that took place in the England vs New Zealand test match.
1127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is Neither Good or Bad on: March 01, 2023, 10:31:36 PM
Everything that is done by abuse will not succeed. Same with gambling, if you gamble and used up all your money, that will turn you into a beggar and suffer the consequences from losing in gambling. For sure, no one’s gonna end up like that. However, if you only gamble at your spare money because you just want to be entertained, and yet you earned profits as a bonus, then you are doing gambling the right way. As long as you never crossed your limits in gambling, then you are considered a responsible gambler.
Agree, we only need to set a money limit for gambling and never consider gambling for profit, but if we determine profits only bonuses and enjoy gambling only for entertainment then there is nothing to worry about in gambling, so being a responsible gambler is very simple and we never assume gambling is bad, because there is nothing wrong in gambling if we have money limits and have good emotional control in gambling.
At times it looks like gambling is for the rich, because they're the one who can play without thinking of money. Most users have mentioned about gambling with limits. This is possible, but at times we want ourselves to be on the lucky side. This is where the emotional control gets lost. If this happens to a person with good money, he never bothers about the loss whereas the person like you and me might feel bad for the loss. This also causes to loss emotional control. Maybe some 5% of gamblers will stay with control.

It's not new, he is vlogging all his bets and most of them are high amounts. I won't be surprised about this kind of bet that he did for Jake Paul. I too am a victim of losing money from trusting my money for him. I really thought he won that fight but we cannot defy the judges' decision.
What can we learn about the bet of Drake?
Nothing much. If you cannot afford such an amount don't bet like him.
There must be a limit on how much we can afford to lose and on his stance, he can and it's not difficult for him to make that much money again considering his net worth.

Drake is making money by losing it from all these sponsorships. I wouldn't be surprised if one of his sponsors covered some of that loss directly or by giving him rakeback or some form of credit.

He's not going bankrupt from such a bet and this is already working for him because we're all talking about it. This means more twitter followers for him, more viewers on his streams, more sponsorship invitations from casinos because everybody wants to have a high roller on their side.
Having high rollers is not a big task. Every gambling platform have got good number of high rollers, but the same to be a popular one is important. If you and I make such bets and loss it, this wouldn't be a big discussion. When popular ones experience it, those will be kind of business. As said these high rollers were backed and they won't go bankrupt. Most of his bets used to be high and he used to make some tricky bets that makes people watch it. Previously it was the $2.6m

Ronaldo has already proven himself in England, Spain, Italy and back to England with Manchester United before moving to his new club Al Nassr. Ronaldo broke so many Records and coming to Saudi Arabia Ronaldo become the only player to earn such amount of money at age 38 years and he has made the League well known to football lovers and the entire globe and that alone is an achievement for a super star like him. Ronaldo has scored notable number of goals among the goals are two hat-trick and his club is currently League leaders I believe they will go on to win the League and Ronaldo will be the front man after all.

I won't argue that Ronaldo is a goat which I myself also think no other players better than him and Messi. He always got his new team and league more followers in social media because of his presence alone, something that perhaps nobody could do. But with his decision to play in Asia, I don't think he will gain back his best shape anymore, and the top scorer title he might get in the end of season, would mean nothing as people have predicted that  right after they decide to play there. However I love to see him win asian champions league and compete in club world cup again.
Right now his move towards Asia have made this to be a big discussion, because the move isn't expected. With his entry the Saudi Arabia Pro League have gained more importance. He's highly influential, and he have got more responsibility. Winning the Asian Champions League makes him the best once again. What he came for needs to be fulfilled, he have mentioned the shape of Asian football isn't that good. With his presence he needs to create more potential players.

Borussia Dortmund vs Leipzig will be the first game this week. This match is very important for both teams because they are also in the path of champions. If Borussia Dortmund lose this game then they might fall behind Bayern Munich again and if Leipzig lose this game then it will widen them from the team that is above them at the moment and it is very likely they will be displaced by the thin Freiburg under them.
Critical game and a draw between Dortmund and Leipzig is possible here depends from the performance of Leipzig mainly. Dortmund have the advantage of playing home and being solid since the beginning of the year by not losing matches. Otherwise both teams scored and conceived the same number of goals Wink
I would say Dortmund > draw > Leipzig.

I think the outcome of the game should be in favour of Dortmund judging from their last match, although Leipzig is in good shape but Dortmund will be eyeing to occupy the first position as they are in same point with Bayern Munich but a win at home for Dortmund will take them to first place until Bayern Munich win in their own game. I think Dortmund is the better team to win.
Based on the head to head matches it is Leipzig is on the lead with three wins and Dortmund with two wins. Also two wins of Leipzig have come in the last year. In the last five matches played Dortmund have won every match whereas Leipzig have won two matches, drawn two matches and lost a match. Leipzig have got some momentum to score in the last end of the match. In such way during the last 15 minutes 13 goals have come. This too a reason that we can expect the match to be close.

Maybe you being rich is delayed, if you're educated. With education it is possible to make yourself analyse and understand what is necessary and what isn't. With money you'll have a mind that you can do anything. This is attitude change between the two different set of people with education and people with money.

Money might go away from you, if you doesn't have the skill to manage it in the right way. With education it is possible to manage things in an orderly way. Education stays with you forever and it gives hands

Gambling can't be considered as fun by everyone. Maybe 1 out of 10 might consider gambling as fun.
The majority prioritise it as a way to multiply the amount risked, though they've the right understanding.
People who have good money might consider gambling as fun, but the mind changes when they start losing.
Gambling with fun mindset will ease the gambling experience and make way for relaxed gambling.

Maybe few dollars can be spent to experiment the outcome. Though the outcome is known, it is a big risk according to me. Good choice will be to buy bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for long term profiting. It is all about the reputation.

Now we have few hours left in last day's play with can Southee, Henry and Wagner change their fortune after this amazing batting from their batsmen.
New Zealand should win the match as England already lost their 5th wicket and i am confused with the way they are playing Test Cricket or the brand of Cricket they wanted to portray. Run out during crucial period, the inform batsman in England Harry Brook getting run out in a Test match even without facing a ball is ridiculous. Root is batting as if he is in T20 during a crucial period and if New Zealand could restrict the run flow England batsman would gift their wickets.
Ben Stokes and Joe Root on the crease makes it a tough challenge for New Zealand. Taking those two wickets will increase the winning chance. For now Root is playing aggressive 55*(56) which is like ODI. More runs scored now will help them if wickets fall. Maybe in that plan he's playing while Stokes is just doing the support part. Really it needs to be a comeback match for New Zealand.

We all agree we're living in a crazy world and what's far worse is that it is managed by a bunch of clowns..
So, let's think wildly, one day US were to further increase the censorship just like some of the other countries in the world, they ban bitcoin, they ban VPN, they pass legislation for those who mine/trade/spend btc will be sent to jail.
(Let's not say it's not going to happen. It can! You never know just like you would never have known that there's a war in 2022.)

Other countries start to follow.

Where will you be and what kind of life will it be and how is it going to impact yours?


In my opinion, if such a thing happens, it won't happen all over the world at once. The USA can ban anything on their grounds, but can't force other countries to ban it, especially because countries like China and Russia have conflicting interests with the USA. I once read that VPNs are widely used in China as the citizens there want to take advantage of some American services. I believe if the USA banned crypto mining, China would leave their ban fast, as Bitcoin blockchain still has usages to move capitals between both countries in known and unknown ways.
To come to a common understanding on the ban of cryptocurrency is really not gonna happen in the short or the long term. When it comes to cryptocurrency ban surely there'll be conflicts between China and USA. Another thing among the entire list of countries we can see good number of countries favouring the acceptance and other countries taking a decision against bitcoin. I'm positive on this, because countries that are against bitcoin in the past have begun to regulate and accept bitcoin.

Kiwis still trail by 24 runs, they lost only 3 wickets but I do not think they will be able to get a good lead against the English side. This English side has been amazing, the coach, the captain, and the team have created a unique strategy that most of us and neither the opposition team management is able to understand.

The English batters are not aggressive anymore they are going after the bowlers which is making this test match more interesting. In this game, the batters and the bowlers of England are contributing in alignment. Regardless of the pitch they have proven they have proved their skills. I would love to see England playing against India in India.
Kiwis have missed the opportunity. Being in the home ground they should've performed better in the first innings. As of now New Zealand is in good position, and this isn't going to be a draw. The match is completely into the hands of England. If New Zealand were able to make a comeback, then it is a big history in the test cricket.  In the match between India and Australia similar scenario happened, when everyone predicted the team to end the innings shortly bottom order players took the score leveling the scoring of Australia. Lets see if something similar to that takes place tomorrow.

Australian women have won many times and this time their chances of wining are way higher than South Africa,  there team is very experienced and strong in terms of performance and game so they can easily win this trophy.
Australia Women team is the strongest among the Women's cricket teams. Already they've won the T20 World Cup Five times which is enough to show how strong is the team as well as the players performance. Same time we should also know match scenarios in T20 cricket turns in no time. Just take the Australia Women and India Women team in the semifinals match, none expected such a performance from India Women. Maybe South Africa Women too might give such performance.

The match between Australian women and South African women is going to start about 1 hour from now. Of course, Australia should be able to win. Because they are very experienced. They are more experienced and far better compared to South African women at least. Of course, anything can happen in T20 matches. But I believe that Australia is a far better team and they should not lose against South Africa under any circumstances.

Can surprises happen in this match? sure they can. But it is highly unlikely that Australian women are going to lose this match.

If we see the journey of both Australia and South Africa in this world cup, we see a clear difference.

The Australian cricket team won all their matches and has not faced any taste of loss in this world cup. On the other hand, South Africa lost their first match in this world cup against Srilanka. Also South Africa Lost to Australia in the pool game played between the two teams earlier.

Keeping this fact in mind, i think Australia will come out to be a definite winner after this final.

The Latest news from the ground is that Australia have won the toss and they will rightly bat first to put a big total on the board.
There is a big difference between the two reaching the finals. Australia Women team played confidently and won each and every match whereas South Africa Women team won the match and at some critical situation it was to win the match against Bangladesh Women to reach the finals. If not, it was New Zealand Women to reach the Semifinals. As of now Australia Women is in good position scoring 77 runs losing a wicket in 10 overs. We can expect a target of atleast 190 runs.

In today's 14th Match of Pakistan Super League, Karachi Kings vs Multan Sultans, there was a very beautiful game between these two teams. Karachi Kings batted first and gave the target of 167 runs. But Multan Sultans were all out in 16.3 overs. It is really bad Multan Sultans batting. I didn't think that it will perform so badly. Multan Sultans batsmen lost the match today due to bad batting. But Karachi Kings won the match very easily due to their excellent bowling performance. I am a little surprised to see the game. First, Karachi Kings will play so well. No one thought.
Multan Sultans have lost the match for the second time. Amidst the loss Multan Sultans were on the first position on the points table. Karachi Kings on the third position, and today everything worked for them. Multan Sultans were like depending on particular player, and today Mohammad Rizwan didn't perform and the team lost the match.
