1461  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will not become the world currency. on: December 08, 2022, 09:00:12 PM
I don’t think anyone wants or expects bitcoin to replace fiat and become a world currency. I see it like an alternative and better means of payment. Bitcoin is unique and not In competition any means of payment(fiat).
Perhaps, it’s the uniqueness of bitcoin that gets people fazed and then thoughts about bitcoin taking over fiat begin to materialize in their heads.
I think you could say bitcoin isn’t a world currency as every country has its individual currency. In my opinion, bitcoin wasn’t intended to be a world currency

Obviously, Bitcoin wasn't created to replace the use of fiat nor will become a world currency and bitcoin is not in competition with the fiats, in fact, it's the other way around as the fiats that are backed by the governments are the ones who sees the bitcoin as their competitor because it's been already widely used and been praised by a lot of people around the world especially investors.
As in the quote bitcoin wasn't innovated to end the usage of fiat system and take its position. Bitcoin was found to be better than the fiat system in all aspects. This makes the traditional currency to create opposition against the usage of bitcoin. This is why we come to see news about different countries and it's governments standing against the usage of bitcoin.

Slowly the countries that were against the usage of bitcoin have come with the plan of accepting the usage. Some country have legalized it whereas few have regulated the usage.

Bitcoin is already an universal currency for the reason of getting converted to any currency with ease. This isn't possible even with the dollar, so in one form it have already reached the state of being a world currency.

I still cannot digest Spain went home the way it did.
I actually gave my vote in this thread about seeing Spain the finals... So many teams I thought they would over-perform are gone now, among all the alleged scandals, etc. This world cup is being quite unpredictable.

I wasn't surprised by Spain's exit, but not at this point in the round of 16. Despite some slight modifications to their squad, they still have a powerful team to reckon with and go further than this in the World Cup. Let me just wish them success next time, although they did their best to advance far than this in this World Cup. Unpredictable events are one of the things that keep football fans throughout the world interested in the game. What a shock to see Spain leaving so soon!
More shock and disappointment have happened throughout the tournament. This time it is Spain to experience it. No one expected Morocco to win against Spain. During the 90 minutes on the field Spain could've made the goals. They missed it and Morocco did it well finally. Upcoming matches are going to be very interesting, and here to some shocks can happen.

I have played with small funds after watching good win coming for more players through gate of olympus, and I was not much into slots. I just tried to play without the proper understanding about the back story. Slots makes way for making big money, but it requires good bankroll. For this reason my choice is towards dice and sports betting than slots.
1464  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why We People Cannot Think Like Whales 🐋 🐳? on: December 07, 2022, 09:59:43 PM
1) Many Of Small traders always got into the Trap of Whales? Why?

Well, retail investors do not think like whales because the whales have long term vision and most small traders are happy to get little profit. That's the reason in case of a bullish rally the retails usually sell early while whales have their big targets.

In bear times, retail are fearful and do not buy at cheap rates while the whales accumulate in these fearful times. There is a difference in the approach between retail and whales and that is the main reason why whales always win over small investors.
Their buying strategy is too different, they are in the opposite position.
Whales are buying when panic and fear increase while small investors buy during recovery. In that case, whales truly matured when it comes to investment and they can carry high-risk responsibilities pretty much unlike how these small investors do and think. It is all about mindset and market views, whales can perform better because of their long-term targets and they act consistently which we can never see in small investors as more of them are short-term investors and low risk-takers.
Whales will be accumulating when the small traders were in the panic as there is market crash. The small traders have limited fund and they try the best to safeguard the fund, whereas whales in the market have got good sum of money that makes them go for investment when the market is in panic.

Indian is a good team for cricket game and also Bangladesh too. So it becomes difficult to predict tomorrow's 2nd ODI match between the two teams . However, predictions point towards India as very good cricketers . And maybe India will emerge victorious in the 2nd ODI . And that match will be won or lost in very few overs and wickets different

Bangladesh always performs well at home. They are capable of defeating any strong team. And in the first match, Bangladeshi players proved their ability. They got a great win against India. And Shakib demolished the Indian batting line-up. Apart from KL Rahul, no other batsman could perform better. I think the second match will also be very competitive. But India will win the second match.
You rightly said that Bangladesh cricket team always perform well at their home ground. But when they go out to play big tournaments, they don't get even a drop of this performance. In fact, always performing well at your home ground does not reach the peak of improvement. Bangladesh team will have to work hard so that they can put up such a good performance in the away t20 ODI series.
This year's Bangladesh ODI team captain Liton Das is trying to get his team going well and Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal and other players have started their game better than before. And they won the last ODI match too.  But there are doubts whether Bangladesh will win tomorrow's ODI match or not.  It seems that India will win this time
Bangladesh is at its best. Earlier it lost the series against Zimbabwe, and now once again back to the track. India have lost the first ODI and now they'll be under pressure to win the match and level the series. Bangladesh can have the relaxed game. You believe that India will win the match, but I'm sure this is going to be a winning for Bangladesh.

FTX Collapse will be remembered forever same as we have got MtGox in the past. Even if the market haven't crashed out of the exchange, we could've experienced the same market situation as now. This is how I've understood about the market, because unlike the incidents the market is predicted to turn bearish right now in connection to the price movement of the previous years.
1467  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Cardano and their new privacy blockchain/token project! on: December 06, 2022, 10:05:58 PM
I'll pass this. Anything being made by hoskinson under the name of ADA was crap. Anyone who will believe with what he has said was actually stupid enough. He called that privacy once he was revealing all of data to the regulators. This is the stupid thing that i have ever seen. The hype for ada has gone The regulators would be calling him as a hero by fooling people with the name of privacy blockchain. I never trust that guy as he was shady enough. What in the hell people who still trust that guy or buying ada lol.

I'm not sure of the functioning of the privacy blockchain. There is nothing to be hyped. Ada is one among the potential list of projects that assure you with the return on the investment. The layers of development keeps everything good. He had developed a way for privacy and opposition is part it. Maybe he can rethink of better choices.
1468  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How important is BTC to the Society? on: December 05, 2022, 11:59:51 PM
Bitcoin is a tool that have made many people rich. Majority doesn't care about the technology that have made it successful.
Once it was affordable for all levels of people. Now with the growth things have reached high. At times it looks like rich people's money.
People have got an alternate investment opportunity, who were sticking to the traditional system for a long. Also in a much easier way.
Some mentioned of bitcoin to lower the poverty, and this isn't possible. The reason for which it is being innovated is to cut the intermediary.
1469  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A Negative Relationship Between the Monetary System and Bitcoin on: December 05, 2022, 11:44:44 PM
The worsening of monetary system paves path for the people to think of an alternate and this doesn't make the cryptocurrency system strong through adoption. According to me, it is a wrong understanding. When the monetary system is strong automatically the economy will be at the best and this makes people look for alternate investment opportunities as people have good sum of money. This will divert investment towards bitcoin and the same could gradually increase the usage of bitcoin and adoption.
1470  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: what do you expect from cryptocurrency? on: December 05, 2022, 11:16:52 PM
My expectation of cryptocurrency in general and btc in particular is - it will continue to exist despite the economic instability the whole world is currently passing through. Particularly btc which is the backbone of every other crypto in the market will always stay strong, there is no other asset like btc so why won't it survive. This type of question mostly comes up during the bear season, and the answer is always the same, btc will be fine, i can't say much about the alts because most of those projects are based on a false foundation that will eventually collapse someday.
So btc should always be the main option and most importantly, have a long term goal for a proper reward. 
Expectations will always be there for Bitcoin especially for long term. Many are hoping that Bitcoin can finally reverse its current trend and go back to the bull market, many are expecting this to happen early next year. Other altcoins will surely follow and that is Bitcoin leads the whole market. BTC should really be the best option for long term, but its advisable to diversify so its good as well to have some altcoins.
Even if this s true we still nee to be careful, when it comes to the markets our timing is really important, while investing in bitcoin is a good idea some traders may then think that it is a good idea to invest in altcoins as well, but this is not correct, there are many altcoins which have yet to disappear during this bear market, so it is important to stay away from them and only invest in them if the bull run is already underway.
Big number of altcoins are getting delisted from Exchanges regularly. We need to be careful handling altcoin investment. Whenever we invest, we make the mistake of expecting the profit within specific time period. We don't have the patience and this mostly lands people into altcoins that pump and dump. It is always good to invest on bitcoin and be cautious with altcoins that are down to the top list. Even the top list could fail, one such example is the FTX and Luna Terra.
1471  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How important is fiat to Bitcoin? on: December 05, 2022, 10:51:09 PM
Just think of the development in the banking system and we can understand how important is the need of fiat. Initially we used fiat directly without any banking applications as well as directly in the hands on exchange of goods and services. Later when things gor advanced we started paying the same using applications. Bitcoin just crossed a decade, so it takes time to function independently. Until the having dependence is common.
1472  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What should be my fear? on: December 05, 2022, 10:43:23 PM
With bitcoin it is a must to take self decision than going with other's suggestions. The money is yours and if something goes away from the prediction, the same might create misunderstanding between you and the person who gave the suggestion.

Right now it looks like the market is at the low bottom. It is good opportunity to make an entry, yet we can't be sure of it. For this reason it is good to DCA which will avoid the way of buying at the top or at the low bottom. Taking others suggestion as reference and making our decision is the right way to overcome the unwanted fear.
1473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 05, 2022, 09:02:44 PM
Full-time:
Brazil 4-1 Korea Republic

Vinícius Júnior7‎'      Paik Seung-Ho 76'
‎Neymar 13‎'
‎Richarlison 29‎'
‎Lucas Paquetá 36‎'‎

From the very beginning Brazil opened the game in an agressive way. This kept the Korea Republic struggling to make goals. Much expected team Brazil have now reached the quarter finals. Today both the Asian teams Japan and Korea Republic have lost the matches and got out of the tournament.
1474  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 05, 2022, 06:07:56 PM
BOTH teams are trying their best to score a goal but seems like Japan will win the game.
Japan is more disciplined and I like them as a nation too. If they are just wasting the time to be decided by penalthy it will be a lot of pressure on both the teams.
The two tried hard to get the golden goal to finish the match, but it seems that the winner will be determined based on the penalty result because there are no potential attacks to score goals from both teams, the penalty result is very tense because the two only focus on scoring goals to win the team to advance in the next match .
Both teams were so exhausted the whole extra time we didn't see any real chances to score but two shots from each side. Were the Japanese player's shot got stopped by the Croatian goal keeper and the Croatian player's shot were missed.
We are going to see the furst penalties on this cup as well. May the stronger win
Finally Croatia have moved to the quarter finals on the penalty shoot 3-1. Good game and both the teams gave the best. Japan leads with the early goal. Croatia made its comeback and further both the teams maintained the performance even during the extra time.
1475  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Nigerian government set to tax bitcoin and crypto transactions on: December 05, 2022, 05:29:52 PM
Each and every country wants revenue out of the transactions. Different countries have imposed tax over the transactions, but haven't taken any stand on the legality of bitcoin within the country. Already more countries have begun to legalize bitcoin usage. The latest in the list is the Brazil.

Nigeria haven't taken any decision on the legality of bitcoin. Nigeria people are much into cryptocurrency usage. Among the African nations, Nigeria tops in usage. Understanding the increasing usage of cryptocurrency by the people, the government might've taken the decision to generate revenue through taxation.
1476  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: December 04, 2022, 11:53:58 PM
Bet on India when the odds were close to 4 and almost won it, but the Indian bowlers and KL Rahul messed up with the last wicket. Such high odds in this match seriously surprised me.
When Bangladesh lost their 7th wicket the odds for Bangladesh winnings was 14 and i never thought in the wildest imagination that Bangladesh would win from that position. 51 runs partnership for the 10th wicket and winning the game was incredible.

I never imagined that Bangladesh would win this match after the ninth wicket fell for 136 runs. Despite the low target, the Indian bowlers were performing very well. Every bowler bowled well enough. And they were able to take the wicket of Bangladesh very quickly. But the Indian team is caught by Mehdi Miraj's extraordinary responsible batting. I would say they are very unlucky. Bangladesh, on the other hand, won thanks to the performance of their two all-rounders, Shakib and Miraj. The performance of Bangladesh's batsmen is still very bad. Shanto has been underperforming for a long time, yet is consistently given opportunities.
This is where it once again confirms that the bowling isn't that good with India. Team able to take the 9th wicket at 136 runs and unable to make an all out before 186 is the indication of poor bowling performance. In the match the batting is bad and now the bowling too hadn't given hands reaching close to victory.
1477  Economy / Economics / Re: CBDCs Cannot Save Weak Currencies on: December 04, 2022, 10:52:31 PM
Totally agree that CBDCs won't save weak currencies.  Fiat 2.0, I mean CBDCs, can't solve for the unlimited printing press of some of these currencies.  These currencies will be devalued due to their inflationary nature.

Yes it has the same connotations with paper money only that it printing cost is reduced from fiat but the country's economic activities and government policies will affect it like fiat too. If fiat is being devalued then it affects CBDC of the country and they sell at the same price. The value in price should be the same for both.
Yeah, the printing cost have been cut. Further it helps in making out things in a better way as everything can be kept in control as it isn't possible to hoard money illegally. There are some positive things, yet this isn't going to be an success for the countries having CBDC which is limited within the country.

For a society that is advancing through technology it could make a big change. When something gives transpreency, automatically things will happen good without any kind of corruption taking place in the process. This itself a big thing in an organisation or society. This is not the only change it can do, there are more things done by bitcoin to make everything effective.
1479  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: December 04, 2022, 10:43:10 PM
No one was expecting decision like this from England and Ben Stokes, but they play a big gamble and most chances this will go in their favour specially after wicket of Babar Azam now Pakistani batting lineup is under pressure, and they will not play freely which will help English bowling on fifth day of this test match and this dead match is now going to end in a very entertaining way all praises to England and their management.
Imam-ul-Haq and Saud Shakeel has built a good partnership after losing the first two wickets too quickly. England bowlers got a little success by taking the two early wickets. Babar Azam and Shafique, both players got centuries in the first innings. Therefore Pakistan is really under pressure. But they have a good opportunity to win the match. Rizwan and Azhar Ali have to take the responsibilities in the second innings. Everything will depend on the first session of tomorrow. England bowlers will try to pick some quick wickets in the morning.
Do you think we will see any results of this match? Pakistan needed just 263 runs to win on the final day. It is not a big target if the Pakistani players can stay at the crease. I think Pakistan will win this match if they don't lose wickets in the first session tomorrow. Pakistan lost two wickets for just 25 runs and was in trouble. But Imam Ul Haque and SHakeel are now batting very responsibly. If these two players are able to prolong their partnership, I don't think Pakistan will have any problem to win this match. But batting on the last day and staying at the crease is very difficult.

Pakistan is going to have a good chance of winning this match. In my opinion. Pakistan has a whole day to play and also have eight wickets in hand.
Pakistan is going to need 263 runs to win on the last day. We have to remember that one player of Pakistan is currently retired hurt.
So, Pakistan will have to be careful going for the win.

Yesterday i said that there was not going to be any outcome of this match, except for a draw, but right now a draw seems to be highly unlikely to happen.

More 263 runs seems to be reachable target. Pakistan had a great first innings, and something similar will bring result to the match at the earliest. Most of them expected this to be a draw, but now match moves towards result. I think England have made a miscalculation. Lets watch what's gonna happen in the final day.

Since Senegal is out of the game, We'll have to wait and see how Morocco matches up against Spain, but I doubt they'll be able to knock Spain out of the knockout stage
Morocco performance has improved significantly based on their ability to qualify from the group stage, they made a landslide win in the last few matches, so I think Spain will have problems facing Morocco and I doubt Spain's ability after being beaten by Japan in the group stage. I think morocco will advance for the next match against portugal in the quarter final match.
This could happen. In today's match I made a bet on Senegal as more matches were with unexpected results. Things didn't worked as predicted. An easy win for England 3-0. In the Morocco vs Spain match things can be in favour of Morocco, but if Spain advance at the opening half this will ease the winning momentum for Spain.
