Each and everyone who had trusted bitcoin have got benefitted economically. This is a proven fact, and the important thing success out of Bitcoin comes through the patience one have. Whenever the market is bearish people easily get into panic state. Even at such situation we need to have the belief that the market will recover. Even the recent days market is an example. The price that was around $18k have reached $24k+ and the same could reach $30k or even more at the shortest. We need to hold and believe.
1182  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More Awareness needed, 100$ or Bitcoin??? on: February 19, 2023, 11:26:40 PM
Came across this video in which a person questions whether they prefer to take 100$ or Bitcoin. The kids never took time, all of the sudden chosen 100$. I'm not specific about the location this had taken place, but it looks like they're are Western people. This makes me think, awareness is not upto the mark and in all means we need to educate people. Even the Western young generation unaware of it is really unbelievable.

100$ or Bitcoin
Nice try OP!  Grin These dumb kids have no idea about bitcoin so they will choose a 100$. I would rather surprise if they choose bitcoin over 100$. They thought bitcoin is some currency used in game.

The interviewer guy should ask a random guy on the street instead of asking a kid.
That's right, and I don't think these are kids. If I'm not wrong these are young generation who are much used to technology and everyone are much used to smartphones. Even in such situation these people not knowing about bitcoin is something unusual. Anyhow after this video few might search for bitcoin and feel bad of not opting to go with bitcoin and falling for mere $100 in cash.

Scotland vs Namibia the match is gonna start at 9:15 IST (3:45 GMT) .
According to the statistics Scotland is ahead from Namibia in every sector. Head to head Scotland have won 4 of their last 5 matches against Namibia while Namibia have won only one. And Namibia also in pressure for loosing three match continuously. Their batsmen and bowlers also failed in 2 consecutive matches against Nepal.
So it can be said that in terms of confidence, they will be behind from Scotland. There are about 6 hours left to the start the match, and still I will put Scotland ahead in terms of win provability.

Namibia team have improved much, but they lack bowling. Need to make themselves strong with bowling, only then it is possible to win matches. In the recent matches it used to score good runs, but the target is being easily reached by the opponent. If the bowling unit had performed better those matches would've been a win for Namibia. Scotland is ahead, still we can expect some good cricket.

Afghanistan vs UAE
Today Afghanistan vs UAE in T20 match. UAE scored 163 runs in 20 overs losing 6 wickets. Mohammad Asim scored 75 runs off 50 balls. Aravind scored 59 off 53 balls.
Afghanistan have so far collected 36 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 5 overs. Rahmatullah Gurbas got out after scoring 20 runs off 15 balls. Ibrahim Jodran scored 15 runs off 14 balls.
I think Afghanistan have more chances to win today.

It seems that Afghanistan team is going to lose in this match as well. They lost badly in the first match. I don't think the performance of Afghanistan's experienced players will be so bad against a team like UAE. At the end of 14 overs, Afghanistan collected only 102 runs. And Afghanistan lost 4 wickets. Afghanistan need 62 runs from 36 balls to win. And it is very difficult for them. Agnisthan will be defeated in this match as well.
Ibrahim Zadran 59* runs and Karim Janat 42* runs have played responsibly and took Afghanistan to victory. The partnership between the two have helped in winning the match and the series. If one of the wicket have been taken earlier, Afghanistan might've suffered. Now they're in a comfortable position. Just 13 runs required in 12 balls which is an easy target with 6 wickets remaining.

It's not a prediction but it's likely a fact that chatgpt gathered all over the web. And that's probably because of the news that has been seen before. I'm not surprised to see that it mentioned El Salvador.

But then, I guess it missed a country that we've been discussing even years ago where it has been friendly to crypto companies and people.

And that's Malta. I don't know if they've got new policies.
Here its been summarised about the incidents that have taken place with bitcoin adoption over the years. Based on the data available ChatGPT have pointed out El Salvador as the country to adopt bitcoin first. Switzerland is much positive about technology as well as bitcoin. Singapore being friendly to blockchain technology and other form of advancement the country have adopted the technology. Ukraine started its usage in its hard time and for the time being funds collected are kept aside for the benefits of its suffering citizens.

A lot of people are taking about Ihsanullah of the Multan Sultans. So far he has taken 10 wickets from just 3 PSL matches, at an average of 7.30. He had figures of 4-1-12-5 against the Quetta Gladiators (picked up the wickets of Sarfaraz Ahmed, Jason Roy and Iftikhar Ahmed). BTW, this is not his first season with the PSL. He bowled one over during last season against the Karachi Kings, but then he got injured. During the match against Zalmi, his top speed was measured at 150 kmph. He has the potential to work on his pace and take the speed to >155 kmph, which will make the lives of opposition batsmen quite difficult. PCB need to groom this player and make sure that he stays away from injuries.
After hearing about the hype around Ihsanullah from your post, i went through the match highlights and he does have a good bowling action and a good in swinger. Was going through some articles about the player in cricinfo as well where it claims that he used to bowl around 130 kmph and after returning from injury he started bowling express pace. Normally the opposite does happen, all the pacers reduce their speed when  they get injured, if he is well guided and groomed properly he will be an asset for the national side.
Everywhere it have become common. Potential players never get opportunity to play. This is not with Ihsanullah, similar things were encountered by different players across the world. Atleast he had got the opportunity to show his ability, which could help him reach the national team based on his performance. In today's match good scoring from Martin Guptill. Karachi Kings have come closer and unable to reach the target is simply disappointing as Shoaib Malik and Irfan Khan were on the crease.

The much expected England Women vs India Women have begun. India Women have won the toss and chosen to bowl first. Thakur have opened the bowling for India Women. England innings is being opened by Dunkley and Wyatt. Once after the controversial match in which Goswami got retired, it is the first time India Women and England Women are meeting. Match seems to be more interesting as both the teams will fight hard to record their winning.

England is a very strong team in women's cricket. And it is very difficult for any team to beat England. England set a target of 152 runs and that was a good enough collection to win. The Indian team is not weak. While their batsmen are good enough, England's bowling line-up is also very strong. With a target of 152, it looks like England will win comfortably. After losing 3 wickets at the end of 16 overs, India collected only 105. 47 runs are needed from 24 balls to win.
England is strong and now the match is sure win for England. India need 31 runs in 6 balls with Richa Ghosh and Pooja Vastrakar on the crease. In the middle order Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur didn't perform when there is need of more runs. If the middle order have contributed well,the match could've been won by India. With this win England Women team confirm its semifinal entry.

How many times? How many times this triplet will save top order's ass?

Freaking unbelievable and mighty impressed with Axar-Ashwin. India was in a dire situation but boy o boy they saved us again.

These guys deserve a big raise or some bonus IMO. Aussies will be disappointed, for obvious reasons and now they have to bat with just 1 run lead. I believe anything over 150 chase would be too tough at this deck.
True. It's happening way too often with India across all formats these days. Rahul and Pujara don't deserve any more chances in the test and ODI formats if you ask me. Ashwin and Jadeja are legendary all-rounders while Axar is on his way to becoming one.

Australia started off well in the 2nd innings and I am excited to see who ends up winning this match filled with a plethora of twists.
This was actually proper test cricket where 2 top teams were fighting vigorously. The Aussies turned a bit late but it's alright as it's a long series, we need more such contests in BGT.

Atm Aussies are slightly ahead and playing with a positive mindset but things could change drastically. Anyway very excited for tomorrow.
Disappointment from k.L.Rahul, Pujara and Iyer. Kohli was in good form, and the wrong decision from the third umpire made him walk to the pavilion at 44 runs. The fight for the win continues as both the teams are equally strong. As mentioned right now Australia team is quite ahead with the good opening. The pitch condition changes as the match reaches the last days. The same makes the match more interesting and every cricketing fans are waiting for tommorow.

Ireland Women vs West Indies Women team playing the league match. Ireland Women have won the toss and decided to bat. Ireland Women lost its first wicket in the very first over. Further Prendergast and Lewis have developed good partnership and Ireland Women at 97 runs after 13 overs. Probably this match could go closer and I find this to be winning match for Ireland Women team, if the target is above 160 runs.
I also doubt that Ireland will be able to set a target of 160 runs.  Because they didn't even average 2 runs per ball their run rate is 1.27 so I think they can target 150 runs max. But since they have enough wickets, if they try to collect more runs without worrying about wickets now, maybe 160-165 is possible for Ireland. But West Indies can play better than Ireland so my prediction seems that West Indies are very likely to win the match.
Ireland wasn't able to make a big target. Based on the scoring that happened in the mid overs it was expected to reach 160+ runs
Fortunately nothing in favour of Ireland have taken place. As the target is low, West Indies could win the match. Ireland Women have won against Australia Women in the warmup match. This created big expectation over Ireland, but the continuous loss seems to be completely disappointing.
1191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 17, 2023, 11:17:04 AM
At the top Khwaja and Handscomb were a big tick for Australia and 263 is not a bad score so they should be happy and proud of this performance. India on the other hand must be feeling a little disappointed as they failed to wrap up Aussie's tail cheaply but it happens sometimes.

Now Indian top order needs to bat sensibly and must do the heavy lifting. Don't expect your tail to bail out every time, they can also have an off day at work.

Based on the top order performance the winning probability of India will increase. Australia's bottom order helped to score good runs. Thos runs will sure to play big part in this test match. Indian bowlers were good to grab wickets and end the first innings on day 1. Australia opening was good amidst the fall of wickets at regular interval. Much expected Smith who used to perform well against India didn't score single run. India have begun it's innings and lets see what happens end of the day as they're at 13/0 after 6 overs.

Awareness at the right time could make more people know about bitcoin and understand the need for bitcoin. More classes and awareness is being created among the young generation by our community members. More and more spread is happening in Nigeria which is the best happening in the country. Nigeria is growing as a fintech hub for the African continent amidst the launch of the country's own digital currency, e-naira. Giving basic learning about cryptocurrencies will make the world better place for the future generation.
1193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting fraud in Brazil 😦 on: February 17, 2023, 01:18:47 AM
It is estimated that the bettors would have profited approximately R$ 2 million (~US$ 383,130.00). Shocked

The fraud involved bribes for players, and among the main actions, it was necessary for the player to commit penalties in the first half of the games that were played. Each player received R$ 150,000 per bet for this act (~U$ 28,734.00).

In fact, this makes it much easier to earn money from sports betting.

Unfortunately these are situations that occur in several countries, but the amount of money involved always calls our attention.
In these cases, bets were placed on the competitions that we call "Series B", which is the second largest football championship in Brazil, in which the best classifieds guarantee a place for the main championship in the following year.

In third world countries, the mafia and other corrupt people, especially those sitting in the government, pretending to be politicians who work for the people, are always finding new ways to use gambling as a way to either launder money or scam money. If the governments keep doing nothing then this will not change any time soon. And people will lose their money to these crooks.

And the government won't change because they too, are being bribed by the criminals to look the other way while they steal from the people.

Another reason to stick to provably fair games, I guess.
It is kind of sad because there are people who are very passionate with sport betting and they have to deal with this nasty reality.

I wonder how common this practices are in other countries like France or the United Kingdom in comparison to Brazil or Argentina, since I would expect corruption not to be as blatant in Western Europe. Politics messing with people's passions and entertainment...
Brazil have got the largest gambling market in Latin America. The same is being used by the frauds to make good money bribing the players. This is being well organised and are operating as gangs. Lawmakers need to be very careful and they should act fast and assure of such incidents won't happen anymore. In reality the politicians aren't much concerned about it. As mentioned this will truly affect the sporting industry as the audience watch with the mind, is it real game or fixed one.

Karachi Kings starting and finishing both are well. Islamabad United is trying hard enough. A target of 173 runs does not seem to be very easy. at the moment Islamabad United scored 88 from 10.3 balls with the loss of 3 wickets. The match is still under their control. Colin Munro is performing very well. He is currently batting with having strike rate of 190. If he can stay on the pitch for some more times then Islamabad United will win this match easily.
Karachi King is playing very good in all recent matches but still they are not winning as the opposite teams are playing excellently . Same happened today as karrachi Kings gave a good target but Islamabad united batting was on point and their middle order Colin munro and Azam Khan chased most of the runs easily and won today's match.
In the first match Karachi Kings lost to Peshawar Zalmi by 2 runs. It was completely unexpected, the scoring got disturbed during the 19th over. However Ben Cutting and Imad weren't able to reach the target. This time Van Der Dussen, Colin, and Azam Khan stole the winning of Karachi Kings. As said luck isn't favouring Karachi Kings, and a strong comeback is a must to stay high as the competence have begun to big.

England are putting pressure on the Kiwis in their own backyard at the moment. A great first innings score coupled with a flurry of quick wickets thanks to Mr.Anderson put them in a great position.

New Zealand will probably try their best for a draw, but I am expecting the English side to win at this rate.
England will win the match for sure. In the first innings England have played as if like playing ODI match. By the end of day 1 England have scored 325/9d in 58.2 overs. New Zealand have begun its first innings and lost 3 wickets scoring 37 runs in 18 overs. Fall of few more wickets in tomorrow's first session of the match will ease the winning for England. New Zealand after winning the toss should've started the innings than choosing to bowl first.

Atleast better late than never , there should be someone to promote and appreciate women cricket . The strongest teams so far are India ,Australia,  England and Sirlanka which is very good as Sirlanka is struggling alot with Reay of their matters .
Pakistan yesterday won match against Ireland in an outstanding way.

India, Australia and England are the heavyweights in women's game, with South Africa and New Zealand close behind. And out of all these teams, India has shown the maximum improvement in the recent past. Pakistan and Sri Lanka are noway near them, but so far in this tournament Sri Lanka has performed well. But I have a feeling that this tournament could have been more exciting, if we had a couple of associate teams, such as Thailand or Netherlands. A 10-team tournament can't be simply termed as a "world" cup.
Giving opportunity for few more teams could make the tournament even better. Another thing, those teams will have a better experience playing the tournament. India, Australia and England in good position make the final to be between Australia Women and England Women or between Australia Women and India Women team. Good improvement with Sri Lanka team and Pakistan, because Sri Lanka Women were able to win two matches and Pakistan Women able to win against Ireland Women by a great margin.

It is not good to gamble when you're in bad mood. We have big plans, but we fail on execution. Yesterday I received my signature earning and I was able to double the amount received, but when I went in making just a single dollar I failed and lost everything just because I tried to have my wallet balance to be same after the wager. Here what I did is just went on doubling the bet amount. This means if you're lucky, doubling the bets could bring big money. When the choice is to safe gamble it is good to bet twice. Chasing losses is the bad decision one should never think with gambling.

I am impressed with the performance of the Srilankan girls. I was surprised to see South Africa and Kiwis struggling in this tournament. Indian will be playing against England in the next match and Srilanka will be playing against Australia in their next. Two out of these four teams would be struggling to cement their position in the semifinals.

Srilanka VS Australia would take place today. Australia is the favorite in this match. England VS Indian match is scheduled on the 18th of this month. England is the favorite in that match.

The joke is that Sri Lanka was never one of the tournament favorites. They were included in a very tough group along with Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. But despite that they have managed to win both their opening matches. They need one more win to guarantee the semi-final slot, and that should be doable as they have two more matches remaining - against Australia and New Zealand. From the other group, it is now almost certain and England and India will be the two teams qualifying for the next round.
Sri Lanka have silently won its match against host team South Africa and Bangladesh Women. The Sri Lanka Women team is in need of a win and they weren't able to make it against Australia Women team in today's match. The only match remaining for Sri Lanka team is against New Zealand. In today's match Australia Women have won without losing a wicket and both the openers Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney had their half century. It looks like once again Australia Women team to win the T20 world cup for the sixth time.

India VS West Indies

After defeating Pakistan in their first match the Indian team will today play their second match in this T20WC against West Indies. The main concern at the moment is Indian bowling. Pakistan was able to score 149 runs against the weak Indian bowling attack. Although only two Pakistani batters played excellently the target was not easy for the Indian batters to chase. Smriti Mandana would be part of the playing 11 that will furthermore boost the Indian batting lineup. At the moment team India is ranked 2nd in their group and if they win today they might rank up in their group.


Surprised to see Srilankan girls playing very well in this T20WC. They are ranking 2nd in their group ahead of SA & NZ. England and Australia are looking good. They might be the ones playing in the finals of this world cup.
It's seems Indian women team is gonna winning this match. Because West Indies women could not score very well by batting at the start.  I think 119 target is too small for T20 format.
Now the Indian women have come out to bat they have scored 43 runs in seven overs losing only two wickets.  Their current run rate is higher than the required run rate.  If they can hold on to the wicket I think it will be very easy for them to win this match.
India Women have won it in a comfortable way. Richa Ghosh had good scoring 44 runs out of 32 balls. Next match to start between Ireland Women and Pakistan Women. Last year three match T20 series was played between these two teams, and Ireland Women won the series 2-1. In the last match Pakistan Women performed well and we can expect better performance this in today's match.

I've always believed in the fact that 'the most intelligent or smartest doesn't win the game, the best in strategic planning has the cup.
Also, don't quit, let every experience be a motivation to want to do better.
Yes every experience is a motivation to go higher and stronger,  nothing in life is easy and  if you have to win big in life you have to take risk, most successful people in life have a long history of failing but they carried themselves up and went stronger and stronger until it was their turn to win big, every experience will give you a clue on the next step u will have to take,.. I will drop this quote ,if you want to Win big then risk big.
You could apply this kind of motivation into other things but not surely with gambling on which having the motivation on winning big would really be leading you for you to risk up something more specially with your own funds which is something not that recommendable.

We arent that blind on not to determine on whats the risks involved with dealing with gambling.So its better to make yourself that fully aware on what you are comparing at and what are the things which are more worthy than with gambling.Being successful doesnt always mean about having lots of money since there are people who do go after for their career, fame and other wishes in life which arent really that
pertaining when it comes to money always.
In my experience, getting motivated into gambling needs more money backing. In that stance we can keep ourselves motivated and spend to experience the win out of the casino. Apart, it is really not a good thing to get motivated into gambling. We should understand and realise the purpose of gambling. Only then we'll know when to start and where to stop than just going on the flow and losing everything hard earned.
