I am asking based on the country where i come from. It's sad to say no one cares about doing it right anymore, everyone is carried away by what the stand to gain, their immediate benefit not minding the impact in the near future.

In a country where everyone is been monetised and selfishly driven will good governance be enough to fight corruption. I ask this because it has gone beyond the sphere of the political stakeholder as it dwells even in the cabal of almost every citizen. making good governance will require stepping on toes.

By 2023 there will be a transition of power and if the choice of the people eventually emerges as the winner, following the current state of an entire country i ask will good leadership be enough to fight corruption in a country where everyone is corrupt?

My question is, do you believe that those who are fighting corruption will not be corrupt when they get this position because, in many corrupt countries, corruption has become a culture that is hard to get rid of.

-> there are only 2 ways to stop corruption, the first is the death penalty and the second is social punishment;
- The death penalty for corruptors has been implemented by the governments of Vietnam, China, and Iran, regarding the impact of course it is quite effective because they managed to do it hard.
- while social punishment, it seems that other countries are trying to implement it but it is not very effective because this social punishment does not affect the people closest to the corrupt, such as their wives and children.

It is not easy for a government official to be free from corruption because the pressures of life and the temptation of abundant wealth often make people forget that the corruption they are doing is wrong. all we can do is keep praying that the next elected leaders are not corrupt.

The above quotes made me to understand that people still believe that your name has connection with your attitude and also made me to wonder whether I will have a chance to prove myself and be comfortable in this forum. Having bad name doesn't mean one is bad please.
I'm sure you've heard of the saying that "a tiger dies leaving its fangs behind, an elephant dies leaving its tusks behind but a human dies leaving their NAME behind".

but it is not a determinant / that makes you a good person or not but try to make your name remembered and you yourself make/shape your personality to be good and not damage your name.
for example the name Craig Steven Wright, I'm sure there are a lot of good people out there who have this name, but all the veterans on this forum know the owner of this name as someone who claims himself to be one-sided WP Bitcoin.

Don't stick to the NAME, you yourself have to make your name remembered as a good person!!!

Teams that were not as strong last season as Leverkusen clearly felt very proud when they were able to break Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga. That's why the teams that used to be weak want to take advantage of the condition of Bayern Munich whose performance has started to look unstable this season. And obviously it would be extraordinary for Leverkusen if they were able to beat Bayern Munich at home.

last season Leverkusen managed to end the season by being in 3rd position and U Berlin in 5th position, but this time U Berlin managed to sit in 1st position in the standings with 0 defeats, this will definitely be a strong motivation for Leverkusen when facing Bayern later.
even though Leverkusen are in a slump with only managed to win 1 match from their last 7 matches, but unexpected things can happen. I'm still neutral in this match because of the instability of Bayern's current performance.

This time I agree with you, Barcelona need time to reach or approach the level when Xavi was still a midfield general for Barcelona. Barcelona's strength at that time was very difficult to be matched by any club, with such strength Barcelona were able to win to dominate La Liga and also bring home trophies in other competitions they participated in.
It took time for Xavi to form a team like when he was still a Barcelona player. Now the Barcelona squad has improved in every line, Lewandowski always looks good on the front line. The duet of Kounde and Araujo is also very solid at the back, the combination of Pedri and Gavi in the midfield is also always reliable. Xavi needs at least a few more years to bring Barcelona back to the level it was at when he was still playing.
last season barca managed to finish in second place with a fairly far difference in points from madrid but what was amazing was that xavi managed to revive barca which had slumped at the beginning of last season.
now barca already have the strength of lewandowski and some other great players and also started the season with a good start, for that this season will definitely belong to barca, they will definitely win the La Liga title and maybe the UCL title this season too.

If Villarreal can use their line up they used to played their last match to play Cadiz in their next match, I believe Villarreal will achieve many goals that will increase their points in this match. Cadiz goalkeeper is not too good to save them from Villarreal not to score goals from this match, because Villarreal strikers are very good in using different strategies to achieve goals. I think, Villarreal will defeat Cadiz 3-2 for the favour of Villarreal because Villarreal defense and midfield are well organized to protect their goalpost till they achieve victory from this match.
cadiz will be difficult to face villareal later, villareal is not an easy team to beat. in the last 5 La Liga matches, Villareal got good results while Cadiz in 5 La Liga matches they won only 1 time. I predict 2-0 for Villareal victory in this match.

Actually last season was not much different from previous seasons, they are still too strong in Ligue 1 and continue to try to realize their dream on the Champions League stage. PSG are mighty in the domestic league, but not in other competitions. there were several weaknesses of PSG last season, one of which was that PSG's defense was not very good, midfielders who did not contribute too much in crucial matches, especially the Champions League. even messi took quite a long time to find his best game at PSG.
IMO, right now, psg is better than in previous seasons architected by galtier. I can say that PSG have a bigger chance compared to last season, for the Champions League.
galtier is a good architect for PSG this season, he motivates PSG's front line to be more solid and more cooperative, mentioning whether PSG has a chance to win the UCL this season, I myself see there are many other teams that are better than them, for example, Barca and Madrid (who has a solid defense and midfield), PSG's struggle will not be easy, it's been a tough season too.

Yes, PSG last season still had some problems and one of them was about Messi and also about their previous coach, but this season they have gotten better. With a performance like this where they have a coach who can get their players back to their best, and even the current coach can reshape the chemistry of previously broken players, then of course their chances of advancing further in the Champions League are very possible. I'm personally optimistic that PSG this season will reach the Champions League final, because this season is a season where PSG have a better form and their chances are very good this season.
messi's first year at PSG was a nightmare for messi and his fans as well, at that time his decline in performance was the talk of everyone but over time, he has rediscovered his identity and played better and even better for this season, PSG is lucky to have him.

Arsenal's defense will be a bit weak in this match. Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney are injured while midfielder Thomas Partey is injured. So Arsenal's defense will be a bit weak. Both Heung Min Son and Harry Kane are in great form. If these two players are able to play well then Arsenal's defense will not be too difficult to break down. However, Arsenal's attack is very strong. They managed to score 17 goals in 7 matches. So I think the match will be competitive and both teams will be able to score more than two goals. Both teams have equal chances to win this match.
the match against tottenham is an important match for arsenal so Arteta recalled one of their important defenders Tomiyasu from Japan to be able to fill as a starter in the match against tottenham later because several other players were injured while defending their countries. This match is sure to be tough, Arsenal will host but Tottenham are in good form.

I'm a Liverpool supporter, I still remember very well when we were beaten by Manchester United. Liverpool were champions at that time because Manchester United's condition was in a slump, but Erik ten Hag managed to make his players get extraordinary enthusiasm.
Don't look at Manchester United, but consider Erik.
in the last meeting of the Manchester derby, MU had to lose 4-1 to Man City at the Etihad stadium, when MU was handled by Rangnick but this time Ten Hag seemed to have a pretty good strategy to improve MU's weaknesses, as evidenced in the last 4 EPL matches, MU always win. MU is not expected to win in this derby, but surprises will definitely be created in this match, this is a hot match.

You haven't mentioned how you receive Bitcoin. Are you using a payment processor to handle the transactions or do you receive the coins on a private wallet that you have set up? Like Electrum or something similar. You should mention that because it's easier to give proper suggestions when we know what we are dealing with exactly.
I receive payment directly to the exodus wallet I created for my business.

what I'm a little curious about is whether when you receive a payment with bitcoin, you immediately convert it to your local fiat (to avoid bitcoin price volatility)??

by only using the exodus wallet, I think it's inefficient, you should be able to do that automatically because you are doing business and the profit from the sales you get must be for the operational costs of your business (unless you do it for a long-term hold).

I've never tried it myself, but what I've heard is that Binance Pay can be used for businesses that accept payments via crypto including bitcoin, maybe you can find out more about that.

I am surprised but also glad to see that not all Iranians accept the current theocratic regime in which everything is subject to sanction by a few religious leaders that pretend to be in the sole possession of truth. I cannot help but to think that these protests are not only against how women are treated and considered as second class and made into robots, but also due to the general economic situation of the country.

Seeing the increasing number of demonstrations taking place in Iran, I can see that the majority of the people there (especially women) are fed up with the orthodox rules, women need to feel beautiful and free with their own choices.

Women should be wives, and treated with respect as the weaker partner.

Cool
you must be a good husband Cheesy

just want to add that I watched a video a few days ago where it says that the Iranian government is planning on cutting internet connections in parts of Iran in an attempt to silence people from spreading what's happening.

it's also kind of sad that I saw a video of a Muslim woman more concerned about the burning of the hijab than what is happening to women in Iran.

Looks like the Iranian government has acted like a dictatorial country that they want to cut off the internet as they please.
2250  Economy / Economics / Re: UK Under Recession, Inflation Hitting World Strong Economies on: September 24, 2022, 02:18:15 PM
I think the UK government have been battling the situation, trying to ensure that the situation doesn't get to this, but with the unforeseen death of the queen and the unexpected expenses they were thrown into as a result of it, it must have contributed to the present recession they are facing. The queens funeral certainly cost a lot of money and no actual figure have been released yet as the amount spent, but taxpayers money looks to have been involved, coupled with the energy crisis, hence their current situation.

the death of the queen of England is not the reason for the recession that occurred in England, the death of the queen of England only delays the England recession plan, which means the recession was planned long ago.
the cause of the British recession was due to the instability of oil and gas prices (rising CPI) that occurred due to the Ukraine-Russia war and the British central bank trying to adjust to the central banks of their friendly countries.

Jika pemeritah serius dalam menggarap CBDC, maka sudah sepatutnya jika mereka harus merekrut orang-orang yang kompeten dibidang tersebut.
Yup kesulitan pemerintah di sana, mereka tidak bisa melihat potensi dari anak muda Indonesia karena tidak ada lulusan Universitas dalam negeri yang berspesialis blockchain, kebanyakan sekarang ini lulusan umum sehingga kesulitan mencari yang kompeten. Namun menurut saya solusi itu bisa di atasi jika menyekolahkan yang sudah ada atau setidaknya mendiklatkan mereka-mereka yang familiar di IT ini kursus blockchain di luar negeri.

daripada menyuruh anak anak muda indonesia unutk belajar lagi keluar negeri belajar pengembangan dan pembuatan blockchain saya rasa bakal lebih baik jika mendatangkan orang luar negeri yang sudah expert di blockchain untuk membuat jaringan tersebut lalu di wariskan pada anak anak muda indonesia yang kompeten, sehingga bisa membangun sambil belajar.

menyinggung dengan yang agan katakan tentang pemerintah kita sekarang ini, saya setuju bahwa tidak ada 'WOW' nya, maksudnya kita tidak melihat ada terobosan terobosan terbaru, semuanya terkesan hanya menjalankan cara lama saja, mungkin itulah kualitas politikus kita ini bahkan hala hal yang bebau teknologi pun (seperti teknologi blockchain) terkesan lambat dan sudah ketinggalan jauh dari negara negara kecil yang sudah mulai mengembangkan itu.

Antonio Conte seems to become a strong candidate for the next coach for juventus. Allegri seems to be sacked very soon than i thinking. The bad performance by juventus has been triggering the emotional from the juventus's management about him. Im sure that if conte will become the next coach for juventus as a replacement for allegri which was making juventus has a very bad performance at this moment. allegri out.

We got some rumors about potential interest in Conte.

The contract between Conte and Spurs will expire in June, so who knows?

There is no longer any reason for Juve's management to maintain Allegri if until this season ends Juve's performance continues to decline. conte has sweet memories with juve first, he once brought juve to be in their prime, so the owner of juve will definitely be happy if he comes back to juventus.
Reportedly, Conte was fired from Juve just because he had a personal problem with Agnelli's family but now it's rumored that they have reconciled and this is the reason why Conte is rumored to be returning to Juve when his contract expires next year.

Again United have always bested City for two season now because of the style play.
The previous two matches between Manchester United vs Manchester City, Manchester City won the match. But this season's match conditions are difficult to predict. Although the match was at home to Manchester City, Manchester United also experienced a good performance. However, City is also United's arch rival.

The Manchester derby will surely be very hot because we know currently Manchester City has a new great striker who has performed exceptionally since the start of the season while Manchester United still has inconsistent performances.
but ten hag must have a good strategy to be able to deal with pressure from man city in the derby, although I'm sure man city will definitely win but I also don't eliminate the possibility of a big surprise that will happen and maybe make us all surprised (MU won).

Mane will adapt,and he will become one of the best players at Bayern,it's all time,he was doing very well at Liverpool,and he has alot of task to fulfill because responsiblities will be on him to fill the void left by Lewandowski.We all know it will really be difficult to replace Lewandowski,but with time,even if he cannot do exactly what Lewa did at Bayern,he should atleast be able to score a number of goals that will make the fans happy.
Another thing is that he hasn't really blended well to the style of play of Bayern,while Lewandowski has really hit the ground running at Barca,and he is one of the leading scorers already at the league.But I know with time,Mane will do well.
I'm not sure if Mane will be able to adapt to Bayern's fast and sharp playing pattern. If indeed Mane is a potential striker why did it take him so long to adapt, just look at how Lewandowski and Haaland quickly adapt to their new team because they are great strikers.
I see Musiala is more suitable to replace Lewandowski's position than Mane, currently Musiala has scored 4 goals for Bayern and I hope Nagelsmann puts Musiala in the position previously occupied by Lewandowski from now so he can adapt quickly.

The dream of every successful businessman or woman is to have a good successor. you can not be in the light in which bitcoin has brought you to and allow your children to suffer because you failed to teach them the secret behind your wealth. Let your kids know that bitcoin is the surest way to financial freedom, teach them now that bitcoin is of more value than fiat currency, educate them about the importance of bitcoin to mankind, let them know that bitcoin has changed the economy of countries who saw the light in it and adopted it as a means of doing transactions.

Now that your kids are young and vibrant, be their tutor, ensure they are bitcoin oriented, save them from financial dependency, encourage them to rely on bitcoin instead of saving fiat currency that Depreciates now and then.

Our kids represent the leaders of tomorrow, let's teach them about bitcoin now that we can.

Parents have a very big role in shaping the character, mindset, and nature of children. I slowly teach my two children about bitcoin, so that they are enthusiastic about bitcoin, I often make funny stories about bitcoin.
since bitcoin has made my economy change drastically 180% so I will inherit it for my children so that they have financial freedom in the future.

Based on the team's performance, I think Atletico Madrid deserves to be favorites in that match against Sevilla even though Atletico Madrid lost to Real Madrid in the last match. Sevilla have really been beyond expectations this season especially in their last 6 match, this is something unimaginable this season because last season they performed very well.

Their defense is in trouble having conceded 11 goals so far, meanwhile their striker's goal productivity has dropped. I don't know what problems Sevilla are facing in defence, but losing Kounde seems to have left a tough job for Sevilla at the moment.
when Sevilla still had kounde last season (Sevilla managed to finish in the top 4 last season), it was clear that Sevilla had a good defense but sevilla made a big bet by selling kounde for a fairly high price to Barca.
facing Atletico Madrid later, it is certain that Sevilla will lose, even though they play as the host but with the chaotic Sevilla defense at this time, it will be difficult to win.

The problem with Serie A teams since the last few seasons is consistency, and for now, there are still many who doubt that Udinese will be able to be consistent until the end of the season.
but in this way and if you look at the quality of the Serie A teams this season, I think it is inevitable that Serie A will be more competitive and fierce this season, and that will make it even more interesting with many teams competing for the Scudetto.

it is precisely the inconsistency of the teams in the Italian league that makes the challenge even higher for bettors. Udinese is a very surprising team for me, last season they ended the season in 12th place but this time they can be in 3rd place with 5 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw.
besides Udinese, the performance of Juventus also really surprised me, Juve's performance has decreased since last season and there are even rumors circulating, Antonio Conte will return to be the coach of Juve.

Do you think social media is now becoming more a place for business than socializing, Could it be as a result of digitalization and things moving online or more people now starting business online because of need to somehow generate income or another source of income for self to survive the economic situations which is becoming tougher?

for me, social media is both (a place to do business and also to socialize). I sell women's accessories and 80% of my sales happen because of the activities that I share on social media, even though at the beginning of starting a business, it was my closest friends who helped me by posting the items I sold on their social media. Many of my old friends are also my regular buyers. without a social media presence, I'm sure my sales wouldn't be what it is today.

So far in ten PSG matches, both in Ligue 1 and in the champions league. PSG really played very impressively, overall they played very compact and teamwork was prioritized by the squad led by Galtier. the problems that occurred over the dispute between Neymar and Mbappe gradually subsided, they played very professionally when they played the match.

I enjoy every performance played by the SPG squad, no doubt they always show a beautiful football game. in particular, the role of messi which has always been a determining factor in every victory that PSG have. for the champions league, I would not rush to say they will qualify for the final phase. until the time comes, those who can prove it.

the cooperation factor is a serious problem that is still difficult to solve by galtier on the front line of PSG which is inhabited by 3 of the world's greatest strikers. young age makes mbappe look selfish and reportedly he is in the star syndrome phase.
The sharpness of PSG's front line is no longer in doubt, if only the three of them could play compactly and perfectly then they would be the sharpest club in the UCL and would definitely win all the matches they face with ease!
