First get into a marriage relation. Then think of being crypto rich or fiat rich. Don't get into marriage relation with such expectations of being rich. Life turns more enjoyable when you both lead a peaceful life and try to be supportive to each other. By the time even without single penny or single token in the wallet you'll feel rich.

Being rich by mind is more important than being rich in economy. Maybe the process of being rich is tough, but with the combined effort from both it is easy reachable. At some point you can ask your girl, what's your choice whether we need to be ceypto rich or fiat rich.

A friend have briefed it through biblical verse. This is also connected with business as well as with investment. I'm not sure how far it connects. With investment, the risk is high whereas the profitability depends on the volume invested. More invested will give back more profit. Another thing I have come across business persons who used to say, right now market isn't to grow from the scratch. We should have the ability to do big business only then we'll be able to get big revenue. So, in different things it can be connected.

Gujarat, Chennai, Mumbai and LSG have qualified for the knockout rounds of the IPL, putting an end to all speculations. And I would say all four teams qualify for the knockout round. And the knockout rounds will be very competitive.

Gujarat and Chennai will face each other in the first playoff match. Gujarat team is in very good rhythm. They played well against Bengaluru today too. Chennai's performance on the other hand has been somewhat erratic but this team is very strong. So it is not possible to predict which team will win.

LSG vs Mumbai is my favorite Mumbai team. I was impressed with the performance of Mumbai players against Hyderabad today. However, while Mumbai's batting line-up is strong, their bowlers' performance is quite poor. The bowlers will have to play well if they want to win against LSG.
All four teams are strong, but it is the Gujarat Titans and the Mumbai Indians who have got the strength to chase targets in an easier way. Today's matches were more than enough to be a proof. Mumbai Indians chased the 200  runs in a much comfortable way with the century coming from Cameron Green.

Gujarat Titans chasing the target of RCB's 197 is something unexpected, but they reached it with confidence. This time Shubman Gill and Vijay Shankar did it for Gujarat Titans team. In the playoff the favourites to play the finals were Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians.

If I'm not wrong in the qualifier Gujarat Titans will win and reach the finals. In the eliminator Mumbai Indians will win against LSG and reach the qualifier 2, playing against Chennai Super Kings and reaches the final against Gujarat Titans. The final result is unpredictable.

RCB have scored 197/5 in 20 overs. King Kohli once again proved his ability. The team had good start, Noor and Rashid Khan as usual kept breaking partnership in the middle. Kohli stood strong and continued to make partnership with every player. Virat Kohli recorded his century at the last ball is a great thing. In between the contribution from Bracewell and Rawat at the death overs helped the team. As usual once again it is a disappointment from Dinesh Karthik.

Gujarat Titans is really strong with its batting. Till Rashid Khan the team have the batting order. So, from the beginning the RCB bowlers need to do the best to break partnership. Only then it is possible to defend Gujarat Titans within 197 runs.

In a must win match situation rain have interrupted in Chinnaswamy stadium which is the venue of the match between RCB and Gujarat Titans. In such hard situation luck isn't favouring RCB. The rain needs to stop at the earliest, if not the over reduction and pitch changes will surely make big impact on the match. If the match gets cancelled, one point will be shared to each team and this ends RCB with 15 points and Mumbai Indians easily qualify for the playoff as they've reached 16 points with the win against SRH.

Sunrisers Hyderabad V Mumbai Indians

Sunrisers Hyderabad team is now batting after losing the toss against Mumbai. Hyderabad's two openers got off to a good start. At the end of 9 overs, Hyderabad collected 79 runs. Hyderabad did not lose any wickets. Agarwal scored 33 off 22 balls and Vivrant Sharma scored 39 off 32 balls.

Today's match is not important for Hyderabad but very important for Mumbai Indians. A win in today's match will give Mumbai a chance to qualify for the knockout rounds. And so Mumbai will try their best to win today. But the way Hyderabad started their innings, they are likely to give away a target of 200+ today.
Mumbai win the toss and decide to boll but Sunrisers Hyderabad has done a good start. They scored 93 playing 10 overs. If Mumbai Indians is lost in today's match, they will be dropped from the tournament. According to the current match conditions, Sunrisers Hyderabad has created a good position. Depending on how far the game can go away after finishing 20 overs, it will be easy to guess who may be a win in today's match. Mumbai Indians Indians have enough good batsmen if the players can implement they will get good result. But if Sunrisers Hyderabad throw a big target, then the match can be turned around.

The performance of Mumbai bowlers today is very poor. Even in 14 overs, they were not able to take a single wicket. Sunrisers Hyderabad collected 130 runs in 13 overs. The way Hyderabad are batting today, 220 will not be a difficult task for them. They are even likely to provide targets like 230-240. The match was very important for Mumbai. I don't expect to see a bad performance from the Mumbai bowlers in such a match. Mumbai cannot win if Hyderabad is able to collect more than 220.
By the end of SRH batting they were able to collect 200 runs losing 5 wickets. At the death overs the Mumbai Indians bowling is good. Mumbai Indians bowler Madhwal have taken 4 wickets for 37 runs. Mumbai Indians were good in chasing and from the start the players need to do the best. Mumbai Indians need to reach the target in 11.4 overs to have its net runrate come close to RCB runrate. So, its time to give a try and leave or to stay in the competence.

With the current form of Mumbai Indians team we can expect them to chase any target. By the end of 12 overs SRH have scored runs without losing a wicket. Vivrant at 61* and Agarwal at 42* have given a good start to the match. This is the highest first wicket partnership for SRH in IPL season 2023. It is a must win match for Mumbai Indians, as there is no wicket fall the pressure is getting built on Mumbai Indians. More misfields were happening in the match. It is sure to reach 200+ runs.

Earlier there were few exchanges providing with the loan service. In particular, it is Poloniex that I've come across and we need to provide collateral to receive loans. Apart it is trusted members on the forum who used to issue loans based on collateral as well as on trust. Nowadays such services were much limited.

Even some tokens came to the market with the concept of providing loans. I'm not sure whether they succeeded with the objective or those were just another tokenising.

Italian open women's final is between Rybakina and Kalinina. It was an easy win(6-2 6-4) for Rybakina against Ostapenko in the semifinals to reach the finals. In the other match it was Kudemtrova vs Kalinina, who is ranked 30. Tough fighting game between the Russian and the Ukranian. At the end it was Kalinina to win the match 7-5 5-7 6-2 and she dedicated the win to the homeland Ukraine. Rybakina is in good form and I'm sure the title gonna be won by her.
Rybakina have won the match in an easy way against Kalinina. The match hadn't looked like a final match. One more title added to the list of Rybakina. She had won the first 6-4, and Kalinina due to injury had a walkover when the second set was lead by Rybakina 1-0. Anyhow this is a good experience for Kalinina and the same could help her perform better in the upcoming tournaments.

Every match of the IPL have got to be interesting. Finally Rinku Singh have evolved as a finisher. Even in the match against Lucknow Super Giants he could've won the match for KKR. He missed to score on two balls of the last over. With a six in the last ball the match came to an end. Lost the match by a run and the upcoming seasons will be of very heavy competition and we can see the auction on specific players going very high in price as more players have begun to perform better than past.

Good to hear that Josh Little is back to the Indian Premier League. Ireland management need to understand that IPL stints can be life-changing for their players. They asked Little to join their squad while the IPL was still on, and it cost him around $150,000 (a wild guess, given his contract value is around $536,000). And even with Little present in their squad, they failed to qualify for the ODI World Cup through the direct route. In the end, Little's presence didn't had much of an impact, although the player himself suffered financially.

These days boards are preferring IPL over national duties. We saw recently new zealand board sending team to Pakistan without key players who were busy in IPL. Its because IPL gave money not only to players but to there respective boards too. Josh little alone can't do anything, if the team is struggling in both batting and bowling department.
Nowadays money is an important issue for everything. There is no way to ignore it. But from a responsible place there are definitely things that cannot be ignored. Pakistan is one of the strongest teams in cricket. So it is not reasonable to allow weaker team against them. But the New Zealand board had nothing alternative. Moreover, not only cricket, if you look at the football world the picture is the same. Footballers will join those clubs that pay more. What I understand is that in this age it is not possible to hold anything with emotions.
Money is a factor, and the same have connect with emotions. We can't simply say there is no emotion with franchise based cricket and football leagues. Everything have got been started for some reason. With time the growth takes them to be more of money oriented and there is decline in the emotions. End of the day everything is business and we can't find a place where everything happens perfect. Everywhere we can see few boards or authorities dominant for some reason, same is happening with cricket.

i don't know whether the data scattered about wealth around the world is true and accurate, but from your question OP; the fact is that the government will not be able to make wealth spread evenly to everyone in the world, there are many factors that cause it.  many politicians and businessmen in each country collaborate to monopolize the available wealth in that country, so as long as there are people with greedy types, equal distribution of wealth is impossible to happen.
Equal distribution of wealth won't happen forever. Maybe if we were practicing the bartender method of transaction, it might've been followed. This is not just on greed, one have put the effort and multiplied his earning and someone without any efforts expecting his earnings to be shared isn't a fair thing.

80% of wealth into the hands of 20% is the truth, and this can be understood with the net worth of the leading people against the sum of cumulative value of each country's budget. Also Governments can never get into one's money and force to distribute equally when the person have paid tax for what he have earned.

This kind of treatment or trick has been used by small casinos, they delay withdrawal request so user became impatient then try useless games for increasing the balance but we all know what happens at the end. If an instant withdrawal is not available I usually don't play that balance to double or triple the withdrawal amount when it becomes available. My suggestion is to watch Youtube or funny videos on social media platforms while the support team fills in withdrawal request details aka transaction.
Agreed, these tricks were used by the small online casinos that don't have much of userbase. Most of the platforms term the withdrawal and deposit to be instant. In reality they differ based on the network. Right now everywhere we were able to see rise in the transaction fee as well as delay in the withdrawal and deposit confirmation. This shows there is difference based on the network rather than the platform its doing some sort of tricks.

Today the 66th Match of Indian Premier League has already started. Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals these two teams came to the field to play. Rajasthan Royals won the toss and decided to bowl. Punjab Kings now came to bat. Scored 45 runs in 5 overs. But  So far Punjab Kings have lost 2 strong wickets. If Punjab Kings can play well in batting then maybe they can give target of 180 runs today. But Rajasthan Royals started good performance in bowling.
The Indian Premier League 66th match will feature a duel between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals. The Rajasthan Royals choose to bowl first after winning the toss. Punjab Kings got off to a strong start scoring 45 run in the first five over. They dropped two crucial wickets along the road. With a goal of about 180 runs Punjab Kings ability to bat will be crucial to how this game turns out. Punjab Kings have 100 runs at the end of the 13th over but they have also lost four wicket. The bowling of Rajasthan Royals has been successful in keeping their rivals at bay. Given the circumstances it is likely that PBKS will make an effort to reach a goal of about 160 runs and it is even more interesting to see how Punjab Kings play in the remaining overs.
There was some hope in the opposition when the top order of Punjab Kings failed but the middle order turned the match. Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma and Shahrukh Khan all scored more than 150 strike rate as the match turned into a big score 187 but it is unlucky for Punjab Kings team. RR also converted one of their big scores in the match into a simple equation. In the last over RR needed 9 runs from 6 balls to win the match but they won the match with two balls left. At this time there are 4 teams who won 7 matches out of 13. It can be easily assumed that NRR will be a big factor for qualifying the playoffs.

My expectations were high today from Punjab King's top order. Because the match was very important for them. But the performance of Punjab's top-order 4 batsmen was poor. They can't play well. However, due to the responsible batting of the middle-order batsmen, they were able to give the target of 188 runs. Punjab could have won this match if the performance of Punjab's bowlers was good. But I don't see good performance from their bowlers. Almost every bowler scored a lot of runs in this match. A win in this match would have given Punjab Kings a slim chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds.
Rajasthan Royals needed only nine runs in the last over and Rajasthan Royals batsmen had to play just four balls to get those nine runs.  
Punjab Kings could have bowled a little more controlled. But there Punjab Kings failed completely. If they could have bowled controlled from the beginning then maybe more runs would have been needed in the last over instead of nine runs but in that case the bowlers of Punjab Kings completely failed.

Rahul Chahar, Sam Curran, Arshdeep Singh are undoubtedly the best but they have completely failed to show their best performance. They should have tried economic balls from the beginning. Punjab Kings were defeated by 4 wickets in this match mainly due to bowling failure. And finally, Punjab Kings finished their IPL journey from the 8th position in the points table.
Apart there were midfields and drops which let the Rajasthan Royals players perform confidently. With Punjab kings it is the middle order that scored good runs. Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma and Shahrukh Khan. If not Punjab could've ended within 150 runs. Trent Boult started the over with agression taking the wicket of Prabhsimran Singh. By the time Saini had 3 wicket haul and Zamba had good bowling economy.

For Rajasthan Royals as usual Jaiswal gave a good start. Jos Butler lost his wicket earlier. It  was Padikkal and Hetmyer who started to score runs, followed by Parag and Jurel to finish the match.

Infrastructure is a big concern! They do not have proper grounds and stadium for cricket. Domestic cricket needs to be improved that is for sure. They have talents and all they need to do is provide them with a good infrastructure. Without it you cannot nurture those talents for the future. That goes for any format of cricket.

Hopefully with increased funding, they will be able to construct new stadiums and training facilities. Right now they are being forced to schedule most of their international matches in England. A lot of the talented Irish players opt for county cricket in England and they never return. Stuart Poynter is a perfect example. Now their funding from the ICC has been increased to $18 million for the 2024-27 cycle, from the previous allocation of $5 million per year. Hopefully some of that money will end up with domestic players and less number of them will consider moving to England.
When the players doesn't get an opportunity, they look for the neighbouring countries where they can get a chance to play. In few years time Ireland will be among the leading cricket playing nations list. With batting and bowling there is good number of players. The proper funding and infrastructure will surely help the team perform better. Domestic setup is the base for the existence of new talents. Team should progress one after the other and shouldn't go down as Zimbabwe team. Once Zimbabwe used to be a strong team, then not much of players came from the country and once again now it had begun to improve its performance.

TBH I'm not surprised by Nadal's announcement. On not playing RG - that was really on
the cards because he hasnt been able to prepare by playing Madrid or Rome.
On retirement - it was inevitable, just goes to show again when approaching the end of
a career injuries feature a lot.
He also hinted at not playing a full season in 2024, he wants to play the tournaments
which were special for him.
Saw a video recently in which it seemed as if the legs are still not in condition to endure a high level tournament. He was holding his knees and barely moving while his team surrounded him to comfort him. Not a good look for his future in Tennis. Hopefully he stays healthy next season.
Nadal and Murray are at their best years back and now it is the young generation dominance. It is really hard to give competence against them. It is good to announce retirement and start to coach the new ones into tennis. After certain age it is common to see players getting injured often, and lets hope for the recovery at the earliest. These players won't be forgotten easily, because through them only majority have known about tennis.

It is actually not a surprise to anyone to be honest. We could see his career coming to an end. He is still on the court just for the love of tennis. He is also going to retire very soon. He has done a lot for this sport. He is still doing his most effective in the sport that he loves.

It is a lot more understandable why he is facing so many injuries. He was certainly one of the best in the sport. One by one all the legends of this game are retiring. The time of Rafael Nadal is also very close. He should retire to stay healthy.

Duke Khan
The love for tennis never ends. This we can see with the senior players. What for they want to be on the court is getting into reality. Most of the young players who were dominating the present era of tennis were hard fans and inspired by the seniors.

This is the right time to start spending time with family. Whether they retire or continue to play, certain players will never be forgotten. In particular these players were the heroes for the 90's kids, because watching them only majority could've come to know about tennis.

El Salvador is in a far superior situation than numerous other financially strong countries, which are encountering inflation.Germany (7.4%) and America (5%) are the two.Month after month, expansion rises.El Salvador's leader could accomplish much better for his country on the off chance that he settled on a choice this significant.After El Salvador's regulation was perceived as lawful by him, most of examination and discussion in the whole world has been pushed in its favour.Bitcoin can now be utilized for regular El Salvadorian exchanges including purchasing labor and products, covering charges, and reimbursing obligations on account of its acknowledgment as legitimate money.
That's true about El Salvador's inflation. Based on this website's data --> https://tradingeconomics.com/el-salvador/inflation-cpi

The inflation rate of El Salvador for this month of April 2023 has fell down to 5.44% and as per that website and source: it says that it's for the 4 consecutive months of decrease and it's interesting while many of the rich countries have been gaining percentage of their inflation rates, El Salvador is dropping on it.

And with this rate going down on them signifies that the country's economy is doing fine and we can also say that the decision of Bukele of adopting Bitcoin as legal tender for sure has a contribution on this rating.

It won't take any longer until most of them will enjoy the usage of Bitcoin or will enjoy it as an asset as these figures for Bitcoin are already known by many.

Not only that, the prices of many drinks and food in El Salvador have also dropped significantly. Inflation has also come down a bit more than last month only because of Bitcoin adoption. Meanwhile, this figure mentions that alcoholic beverages exist in Salvador, with prices falling and under control. This chart exists for the convenience of El Salvador consumers.

Compared to the past El Salvador led by Nayib Bukele led by the adoption of Bitcoin, their economy is currently doing very well.  Everything is under control in El Salvador.
Follow:  https://tradingeconomics.com/el-salvador/inflation-cpi

Quite often we can see people indicating El Salvador, they've got into bitcoin adoption without proper planning. When something is newly implemented, surely people will find it difficult. With time they'll get adopted to it. What we see with El Salvador right now is the real impact of bitcoin adoption. Slowly people are getting used to it and the proper education and awareness is provided. The adoption had attracted good number of people into El Salvador and the tourism have grown good. Nayib Bukele government have kept the crimes under control which is also a major reason for the growth within the country.

As usual Mumbai Indians started slowly and then started to win to get to the final 4 and this time around it is the same story and this time RCB can get that spot if they win the next game because they have the net run rate factor secured.
The equation would have been easy for Mumbai if they didn't lose the previous match against LSG. 11 runs were required on the last over. I thought they will win the match as Tim David was in the crease. Anyway, RCB has their last match against GT. They won't be able to win against GT if the top 3 batsmen fail to make a good partnership. Both Kohli and du Plessis played very well today, where Faf du Plessis is continuously performing in this season.
If RCB were able to perform same as this match surely they'll beat Gujarat Titans. Mumbai Indians lose against LSG had costed them. Every team have got its match to be much important. Among the five matches left CSK vs KKR, MI vs SRH, RCB vs GT is more important for CSK, MI and RCB. The long schedule of 70 league matches is coming to an end within few days.

Sunrise Hyderabad vs Royal Challenger Bangalore match will be played today at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Hyderabad. Today's match will surely be a great game as RCB will want to win the match. If RCB wins today's match then there is a possibility of going to the knockout stage. Hyderabad have very few points in their points table and they have no chance of going to the knockout stage. But RCB has a chance and then they will get one more match if they can win today's match then their points will increase. And RCB will do enough to win the match so they can get a chance to go to the knockout stage.

Hyderabad have lost badly in their last two matches against LSG and Gujarat and the team is at the bottom of the table. The performance of this group is very poor. Especially their batting line-up is not strong. Hyderabad is at the bottom of the table due to poor batsmen's performance. On the other hand, the Bengaluru team's performance has been erratic but their squad is very strong. The performance of Bengaluru's bowlers in the last match surprised everyone. Bengaluru bowlers were able to take all the Rajasthan wickets for just 59 runs. If Bengaluru's bowlers can perform well in today's match too then Bangalore will win today's match too.
Match being played on the home ground of Sunrisers team, it is expected that the team will have advantage on the match as well as viewers support. The reality is different, the match have begun as RCB have won the toss and decided to bowl first. Abhishek and Tripathi have begun the innings. Sunrisers need to make use of the powerplay, but it doesn't look like Sunrisers will make good runs. The bowling line-up of RCB have gained good confidence after the RR match and I'm sure they'll continue the same spirit of bowling.

In this IPL, KKR, Delhi Capitals, SRH, Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals, these five teams' dreams of IPL 2023 qualifiers are over.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) lost their playoff chances completely after a 15-run defeat against Delhi Capitals (DC) yesterday. If Punjab kings could have won in tomorrow's match, they would have had 14 points in 13 matches, so they could have achieved the fifth position in the points table. But with the defeat yesterday, this possibility of Punjab Kings also ended. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, have won, but their playoff spot is already in doubt. So a win or loss in yesterday's match could not bring any benefit for the playoffs.

At this point, Gujarat Titans are assured of a spot in the playoffs. In case of Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants, there is more than a 90% chance. The fight for the 4th spot is going to be between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Three more teams can qualify for the playoffs in very unlikely scenarios, but the chances are less than 10%. What surprises me is the situation with Rajasthan Royals. They started the season with a bang, winning most of the matches in the first half. But then they lost steam mid-way and now it is very unlikely that they will not qualify for the playoffs.
RCB losing today's match will make the competence even high. So that four teams will be on the points table with same point. Every team's last match plays major role, because RCB and RR are with better net runrate against Punjab Kings and KKR down to them. Though SRH is in the last position its playe could decide the teams into the playoff.
