1281  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to profit from altcoins collapses? on: January 23, 2023, 11:54:55 PM
Is it possible to profit from collapses of altcoins? Do you have any ideas how to?
I don't really understand what you mean by altcoin collapse because any coin that had collapse may not be able to go bullish again. The market is going to be going bullish soon and I am very sure that most altcoins that had lost there liquidity may now start going bullish again since the market is still very positive with more better movement that will lead to a big momentum.

Basic initiative, collapse is another term for dip, correction, or anything bearish. Collapsed is different from "dead", those are the coins who will not gonna rise up again.
Also, the market isn't bullish yet, but it's good to buy top alts in the market today while the price is still affordable. Bullish market may most likely not gonna happen sooner, but most likely before or after the Bitcoin halving next year.
Whenever the market of altcoins is found to be at the bottom make some investment. The altcoins invested should be chosen perfectly, if not we will be in a situation to hold for much longer time period. With altcoins we also need luck, at times what we've chosen to invest won't pump and the rest spikes.

The fact that btc always ended up proving them wrong is the fun part of it. Crypto analyst will always try to do their job by predicting the direction of the market but in most cases, the market don't usually go as they have predicted.
I don't think there is anything wrong in that, rather it gives some investors an idea of the market situation.
Even the experts find it hard to predict the outcome. If it is stocks, they will easily predict based on the progress of the venture. With cryptocurrency it is hard as the progress is much over the technology.

3rd T20 match India Women's Cricket Team vs West Indies Women's Cricket Team. In this match, India Women's Cricket Team got a great win against West Indies Women's Cricket Team. Indian women cricket team batsmen Smriti madhana and Harmanpreet kaur performed well. On the other hand, the West Indies cricket women's team played poorly in both batting and bowling. In this tri-nation, T20 series, India Cricket Women's team is on top of the points table

1284  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why will Bitcoin have value? on: January 23, 2023, 11:34:49 PM
Bitcoin has value because people or people use it, and see it as valuable, and use it as an investment, an asset, and also as an alternative transaction.
and if everyone stops using bitcoin in any form then it will plummet in price and thus do nothing, and also everything is based on supply, demand and perceived value, nothing more. And some of the advantages of bitcoin are:

- Limited and everyone knows the limit.
-Transparent and can't be faked.
-Can send in minutes.
-Governments cannot stop transactions, nor can they remove them from the network and cannot control them, and many others.
Major thing is the fake bitcoin. For now someone around the world could've created fake bitcoin and made good fortune. No one was able to do it, and the Same makes it more valuable against the fiat that can be duplicated. As people look for something precious and limited in supply it carries value.

People try to scam people in the name of bitcoin, but that doesn't mean Bitcoin is losing its value. It is a way through which people understand better about bitcoin.

The lesson we can take from this story is that anything that has to do with big money, never trust anyone to take care of it, even if it's our own family, it's best to take care of all money matters only for ourselves.
Few thousand dollars itself can change the mind of a person. Whether he's neighbor or close relation is secondary. What for we're living, to earn money so that we can fulfill our needs. Depending upon our earning our requirement keeps increasing, so very few will have the satisfaction. In such a situation allowing the relative to claim is a wrong decision. He believed, but she did it wrong and someday she'll get the rewards for what she had done.
1286  Other / Off-topic / Re: White Card entered in Football !!! on: January 23, 2023, 10:20:49 PM
From what I've read from source, I think the introduction of the white card by the Portuguese authorities is a good initiative and one that might not take a lot of time before its adopted into international football.
We have yellow and red card which are used to warn or ban players from the match, it makes sense to introduce another card which can be used to applaud players that play very well, and the white card could be perfect for that purpose, so indeed, it's a good idea the Portuguese authorities have shown to the world, I hope FIFA adopts this in no distance time.
The color of peace being used is really good. As said the white card being used to applaud the good act is really impressive and a much needed one. Once after a red card the player won't be able to play one match in the tournament. Same as that something credits for holding more white card makes the new rule even more impressive.

Gambling in Japan is not black and white. In fact, gambling is considered a criminal offence and is generally banned across the country.

Those that are found gambling can face large fines and even serve jail time.

However, there are exceptions to this rule. Betting on horse racing and the lottery are two forms of gambling that are accepted in Japan.

To me, this seems hypocritical. You claim that gambling is illegal, but you may bet on horse racing, Pachinko, bicycle racing, boat racing, and Mahjong, which baffles me. I do not seem to understand. Why is that so? You claim it is unlawful, yet wagering on games that are overseen by the government is not unlawful. Is this not hypocritical? What does the government fear?


https://gamblingnewsmagazine.com/gambling-in-japan/
Really if they are not accepting gambling then it should be cut across to all areas of gambling, or extend to all. Because gambling is gambling whether horse or card or dice game. What the government has seen as a legit gambling might not be a legit one for the other people in the city States. It is a hypocrite, I don't understand why they accept one side and abandon the other, it doesn't make sense at all. Even though they are reasons what about those gamblers that are not part of the horse race and others what will they do?
I felt my thoughts to be correct in this decision from Japan government. The government doesn't want its people to be addicted persons of gambling and doesn't want them to loss their hard earnings. Horse racing were made by the rich ones and this won't affect them even if they loss the bet. Maybe that's the prime reason from Japan for the ban on gambling.
1288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your take on this crypto gambling use case idea? on: January 23, 2023, 09:29:34 PM
Very few will show interest to buy the native token of a gambling platform and spend on gambling. Though the growth is good and the game on the platform is unique, it won't easily attract people towards it. Because, cryptocurrency accepted gambling platforms have turned to be very big with different games available for gambling. Beyond this one to reach the unique game with their own token being bought is little difficult. Maybe the marketing could do something positive on this.

Cryptocurrency usage around the world keeps increasing with time. This is happening our of the people's interest upon technology and getting connected to it. Banks were the backing system of a country's economy. Such an out right replacing of traditional banks won't happen. Existence of cryptocurrency banks too is a limited trail in specific locations as it requires time as well as make people understand well about it.

Comilla Victorians V Dhaka Dominators

The match between Comilla Victorians vs Dhaka Dominators is being held now. The condition of Dhaka is very bad this season. They are at the bottom of the table with only one win out of 6 matches. On the other hand, Comilla is now in a good position after winning the last three matches.
Dhaka Dominators vs Comilla Victorians is an unequal battle going on. Dhaka Dominators is a weak team consisting mainly of domestic cricketers, especially in today's match, Hamza (Afghanistan) and Usman Ghani (Afghanistan) are foreign stars and the remaining 9 domestic cricketers who have been dropped from the team at various times due to poor performance among the Bangladeshi cricketers. Dhaka Dominators  No player is in form except Nasir Hossain, if Nasir Hossain could not perform well then Dhaka Dominators would not be able to fill up the target of 100 runs in almost every match.
On the other hand, see the squad of Comilla Victorians, Liton Das, Imrul Kayes, Mosaddek Hossain, Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan), Khushdil (Pakistan), Nashim Shah (Pakistan), Johnson Charles (West Indies) are arranged with these foreign stars.  So it is easy to guess which team will win today's match?
It is true that Dhaka Dominators is a weak team but Dhaka has fielded only 2 players from Afghanistan but Comilla has fielded good players from Pakistan and Johnson Charles from Comilla team is a good international player.  Due to which Comilla is scoring well. In Dhaka team Nasir Hossain played a little better and Afghanistan player Usman Ghani played a little better and the rest of the players were not good batting quality.
Comilla Victorians already beat Dhaka by 60 runs. In  firstly, I thought from Dhaka's performance that they will not be able to cross a hundred runs today
Dhaka has not won any of the last 5 matches.  Lost to Chittagong in 11th T20 match.  Lost against Sylhet in 13th match.  In the 17th match they also lost against Comilla and in the 20th match they lost against Barisal and today they also lost against Comilla. Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, the team from Dhaka lost every match.  It is really sad

Dhaka Dominators continued their losing streak. Dhaka conceded defeat for the sixth consecutive match. Such bad performance was not expected from Dhaka team. I would not say that the Dhaka team is too weak. Several players of the Bangladesh national team are in the Dhaka squad. Even then they are consistently performing poorly. In today's match, Dhaka collected only 104 runs in 20 overs. Dhaka was defeated by 60 runs in today's match as well. Dhaka's condition is so bad because of the bad performance of the top order players.
Dhaka Dominators couldn't make it, even with the good squad. Dhaka being the capital city, there'll be much expectation upon the team. If they've already understood about the team performance, they should've tried for some changes. Because beyond certain limit people will loose interest watching the marches.
1291  Economy / Economics / Re: Does a side job/business improve your finanical stability ? on: January 22, 2023, 10:50:39 AM
I think that even on the past, a stable and high paying jobs are already rare to find and in case you came across one, it will still be hard to apply on them due the benefits that entails on them. But we don't really need one. What important for now is to have any job which makes you some $$$. It must be enough to keep yourself alive.

If it pays less then you should learn how to budget or try to add another one (side hustle). That should make you feel better now. Saving must be practiced so that when unexpected events happen like a loss of job, you will still have something to get while you currently hunt for another job replacement.
One should have a goal in life which they should work on and strive hard to achieve it.
Some people does that at early stage most of the people keep struggling the whole of their lives depending on their parents and sibiling
Having a goal in life is important, but everyone doesn't have the situation to move towards their goal. Majority of the common man just out of family commitment tries to find a job and end the life working on the same job. Dependence on parents and siblings is much experienced on the Asian countries than the western nations.

Having a side job in the present economic situation is really a must thing, as people were in need of more money to meet the life expenses as the inflation keeps increasing.

In my country we've got cookies embossed with alphabets. Those cookies were given to kids, so that they can learn the alphabets in an easier way. This candy store have made themselves connected to the technology uplifting and are trying to make business out of it. Looking at the cookies I feel like making these kind of cookies will help people know about the existence of bitcoin, which is similar to Dollar and other currencies that are being used around the world.
1293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: QUESTION: For Gambling Enthusiasts ❗❗ on: January 22, 2023, 10:11:59 AM
PvP games mean something because we can compete with other people for victory. We can also learn something that we can get from the game to improve the skills we have so that they are even better. And it will be fun to play with other people and compete with them and it will be more fun if we play with our friends.

But I don't play with friends too often and tend to gamble alone in my room. So I chose casino A because I play Slot games a lot.
PvP games have considered a norm today especially with the young gamers playing around, as this could help them develop more of their talents and skills, and to enhance more of their socialization practices. However, regular gamblers may not be quite interested in that kind of games, just like myself I still prefer to play with casino games like slot and poker. That’s where I think it’s more profitable and more entertaining for me.
And for this PvP game, I've only ever seen a few young players playing games like Mobile Legends and the like but never seen several people playing gambling together using the same game. In my opinion, playing gambling is like doing private activities with no one knowing what we are doing, so we are alone in one room. And it can really provide fun, tension, and whatnot and it's a mixed feeling because we're experiencing it firsthand.
Not everyone are good in playing PvP games. In particular nowadays the PvP games are much of shooting games. To me Chess or some form of the skill based gambling could interest me in playing PvP games. This too won't happen long, my major spending will be on the slot, dice and casino games as I'm much used to it. In between when the casino games isn't much into winning can give a a try on PvP games.

1295  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it possible to invest in bitcoin to build a country whose economy is down? on: January 22, 2023, 09:30:12 AM
Entire World have been watching the move of El Salvador which is the first to make bitcoin legal tender. The country have been into criticism, but the country is quite confident in its activities and kept increasing the bitcoin stake. The country is predicted to have a big transformation with respect to the growth of bitcoin.

At present the change is very small and in specific tourism industry have got impacted by the adoption of bitcoin. Slowly this will move to other industries. We even had a thread that El Salvador to turn rich in specific number of years. Achieving such a level isn't possible, but the real adoption will help El Salvador to grow their economy.

This is the story of El Salvador, but depending all upon bitcoin for the economic upliftment of the country is really impossible. So, countries need to focus of diversified economy upliftment strategies.

Murray was empty today. It was great that he still managed to win the 2nd set, but when you see him walking down the track it looks like he could fall down at any moment. He was already close to elimination in the previous round. I don't know in what perspective to put Murray's performance. Would it be a prelude to more successes or was it just incidental? Djokovic suffers a lot from his hamstring injury, but still managed to win convincingly against Dimitrov today. I don't know who his next opponent is but I hope for his sake he gets a few days rest now to let his injury heal if at all possible.

At this point I want Murray to stop putting. So much pressure on himself. And retire. It is actually making me really sad to see him like this. I also thought that between sets when he was walking he might actually fall down. But I have to say he got a big heart because he kept going. However, his body is not as strong as his mind.

Novak Djokovic played really well even though he did have a hamstring injury. He will play against Alex de Minaur. The problem is the match is tomorrow. He really could have used some rest.


Duke Khan
Andy Murray was unable to play the third and fourth sets as the first two sets. As said, the body health hasn't helped Andy Murray better. In the second set itself he's tired of fighting hard to win the set. If the second set an easy win, then Murray might have went even closer in the further sets. When his body isn't supportive, it is good to retire and take rest. Let's see who else reaches the semi finals other than Djokovic.

It was fun watching the Indonesia vs Zimbabwe match at the ICC Women's Under-19 T20 World Cup. Indonesia were playing for the first time in a major ICC tournament (similar to Rwanda), and they got their first win today. There was a bit of wobble in the end, but Ni Suarniasih and Ni Indriyani added 20 runs for the 8th wicket to take them home. Indonesia ends their campaign with a win, although perhaps it was less sensational compared with the win by Rwanda over Zimbabwe a few days back. Hopefully the ICC will take note of this and increase the number of participants from next edition onwards.

I was actually a little surprised to see the result of this match. When I saw that the target is only 87, I thought this was going to be easy for the Indonesian women to chase down. But in the end they lost seven wickets and made it harder for themselves. But in the last partnership they added the necessary runs and got the win buy three wickets and two overs to spare. I honestly expected Zimbabwe to win in this match. But very good performance by the Indonesian under 19 women.
U-19 Zimbabwe Women's team have managed to score 86 runs which is quite low to defend and win the match. Zimbabwe team is popular than the Indonesian team. Indonesian team too didn't win easily, they've lost 7 wickets to reach the target with 12 balls left. As mentioned the match winning for Indonesia Women's U-19 team is a big thing, because it was Indonesia Women's team into an international tournament. Through the match atleast they'll have more experience, learn and prepare themselves for the upcoming matches.

It can be called a natural religion of man. Every cricketer has a fixed amount of salary, but they always want to be busy with earning more money. Every cricketer probably wants this. But it can be called greed when the national team player runs for money by throwing away the national game. I think the players should turn away from this attitude. T20 should be stopped for those who are not interested in playing Tests in the national team. If such laws are implemented then such behavior of players will not be seen. They will be forced to focus on all forms of cricket.
Now, we have commercialism in cricket like soccer but here we have few issues like soccer is just 90 minutes game, and we have few matches every year for every national team with mostly love to go for World Cup or their region cups with this all no issue but here in cricket we have three formats and things can manage easily without any issue like if someone is not interested in any format then management can ignore him for this format and look forward for the other options.
It's a simple way to have brought better competition because by force you can't take good performance and results from players as if someone is ignoring then banning him is also not positive result there all are not serious concerns management and players can settle things easily but right now we need to manage few leagues like right now we have too many leagues at once which is surely not positive for anyone.

Cricket is much more centered around international tournaments rather than League cricket. So having multiple leagues going on in cricket is obviously a problem. First of all, it causes problems in the international arena which is the most important arena for cricket.

But I feel like there is going to be a transition in cricket. It is going through a transition period right now. The leagues are going to be getting much more importance and popularity compared to international cricket. And after that, it is going to be the same scene like football. The only importance international cricket is going to get is the world cup.

The existence of more leagues give way for the emerging players as well as give chance for the able players who doesn't get chance to prove their ability to the world. By the time it is to be noted, that the importance of international matches and the core have been missed. Test matches and ODI matches haven't got disturbed out of these leagues. Recently India wasn't able to perform good in the T20 World Cup and the reason behind them was the players involvement into T20 leagues and opponent teams have well understood about the players of India through these regular tournaments.

They way indian team play these ODI series against newZealand and against SiriLankan, it totally show how strengthy is indian batting lineup. his recent performance show how well they prepared themself for upcoming ODI format event like upcoming Asia Cup which is in ODI format and also the upcoming ODI ICC World Cup in India. I am pretty sure that these recent ODI series win will put pressure on other team , every team will be fretted to face India in these events.
Yes we are looking that Indian team is strong and its batting line is good as we can see in these last two matches how they perform the New Zealand is also a strong team but Indian team has some good players who are rolling their role in the team, therefore the team is going well.
India is quite strong in the home ground. Once again India proved it to the world. The upcoming series against Australia is the much expected and Gilchrist have mentioned of Australia to be strong squad after long to win matches against India. We don't know how long the consistency of the performance will continue with the India team. Winning the series have turned to be a record and New Zealand being the lead in T20 will have upper hands on the T20 series.

My choice will be accepting bitcoin into the business. I'll also encourage others to add bitcoin acceptance into the business. Even now people around have got good understanding, but the legality issue still prevails. Very few countries have officially revealed the legality status where rest of the countries just stay without making any decision. So, the legality reveal will make more common people start using bitcoin without any fear. To reach such an universal legal status it'll take atleast a generation.
