241  Economy / Speculation / Re: 26k mark finally breached on: March 18, 2023, 03:06:04 PM
I'm sure many didn't expect that the price of bitcoin really reached $ 26k, even today it rose by around 4% and became $ 27400, this proves that bitcoin has the power to go up, community support that continues to grow is something that can't be denied anymore, with transaction volume more than $ 50 billion per day is certainly not possible to control one person or even 1000 people.

No one would have thought that bitcoin would hit $27k so quickly, and which sets bitcoin apart from traditional investments. But to say that with a trading volume of 50 billion a day is too large and not manipulated is a completely false statement. It can be said that it is too small a number, and many sharks can easily manipulate the bitcoin price.

Right, it looks like the bear market has passed and makes us optimistic about bitcoin, the price has reached $ 27k and I'm sure next week the price will enter at $ 30k, don't sell, it's better to buy so we can get big profits, a sign that the market will soon be a bull run it is clear and will regret if we sell now.

It seems that people are starting to Fomo and slowly believe that the bull season has come and we are out of the bearish season. At times like these, I would really be wary of the market, the sharks are trying to pump bitcoin to create the Fomo wave and they are succeeding. As for me, I still doubt that we are out of bear season, it is too early to say that bear season is over, even if bitcoin hits $30k.
243  Economy / Speculation / Re: what If Bitcoin Price never comes up on: March 16, 2023, 03:16:30 PM
If Bitcoin Price never comes up, of course users will panic and will sell bitcoin cheaply, if in 2 years the price never goes up then I'm sure the transaction volume will drop and this will automatically have an impact on prices that will continue to decline, of course we don't expect that happens because the presence of bitcoin gives us the opportunity to profit.

I don't even think that will happen because the value of bitcoin is not just dependent on demand, it is being manipulated by an underground force. They are using bitcoin as a money making tool where they can manipulate its price. It can be said that bitcoin is a money game, and to maintain this game, they need to make bitcoin always volatile to create trust for players.

Privacy is considered a human right Smiley It works only if you live in a perfect world. Now even the most freely countries do everything in order to get a total surveillance. Why do you think different countries try to ban privacy coins? I don't think that the reason is that only criminals need full anonymity.

Are you talking about the chipmixer closure? That was predictable because tornado cash was also forced to close before then. The government is still the ultimate authority, and as long as they control us, there will be no so-called right to our privacy. Decentralization or bitcoin will only help us hide part of our privacy, it cannot completely free us from government control. Too many people are under the illusion that bitcoin will help them do that.
245  Economy / Speculation / Re: Get ready for the rising and pumping hours. on: March 16, 2023, 03:00:03 PM
I hope the dream comes true very soon. But as we know, Bitcoins are famous for repeating history, so this year it has been destined for Bitcoins that they will break their all-time high price. Bitcoins also gave us a sign at the beginning of February, when it suddenly rose to a price of 25k usd from 17k usd, and March is also trying really hard to break the resistance and come out of the 25k price range. So let’s hope for the best. Also, kudos to the ones who bought bitcoins under $25,000 and held on to them for a long time. Bitcoins will soon touch the moon.
I guess bitcoin won't be touching the moon anytime soon. I don't think it will be this year. Since you say bitcoin history repeats itself regularly, a new ATH will happen next year after the halving. But that does not rule out that this year could also be a bullish year for bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

Anything is possible, with bitcoin, nothing is impossible. But I also find it hard to believe that bitcoin will hit the moon this year. Look how bad the world economy is, and it could get worse for the rest of the year. So can't expect a bull run without big money flowing into the market.
246  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto related jobs on: March 13, 2023, 08:23:03 AM
As crypto is not regulated, you won’t find any full-time or stable job that pays in crypto, and specifically in Bitcoin. Yes, you will find many part-time or one-time jobs that pay well, and that too with crypto and Bitcoin. I have also seen many freelancers completely shift to accepting payment with crypto. As crypto has many advantages and features, people are opting to take payment with crypto rather than Paypal or USD. So if you directly answer the OP's question, then, to be honest, there isn’t any job with cryptography. Many people are treating cryptos as an investment source, so yes, treating it as a currency is done by very few people.

This is true, but when you apply to work for blockchain companies or crypto-related companies, you can also ask them to pay in crypto, it's not too difficult for them. But I still prefer to be paid in fiat currency because it is stable, and if I want to invest just transfer money to the exchange and buy according to my preferences.
247  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel selling your BTC against your plans? on: March 13, 2023, 08:17:26 AM
I think it is perfectly normal to feel some sort of regret with what you do, it is an emergency, and if it is the last thing that you can resort to for it to be done, the you made a perfectly valid decision. In comes to trading and holding, we should always prepare ourselves to be disappointed with our decisions since there are some events that we can control, as well as the volatility of crypto. At the end of the day, I believe you have learned something from that situation, so you will never be a loser since you can use that for your future decisions in terms of holding and planning your finances and holdings.

Yes, there will definitely be some regrets, but don't be depressed or grieve over it, as long as bitcoin helps our lives, it will be too much of a grief.
Moreover, we can also accumulate bitcoin as soon as urgent work is done, although it will take longer to do, we still have a chance.

I am so disappointed from Dortmund that they not has won against Schalke again with all that chances they got.
Was not expecting that Schalke would be making a draw in Dortmund , and i guess that points maybe can break Dortmund the neck at the end of the season.
Its just only 2 points to Bayern Munich but every point at the end is counting.
Playing as host Schalke seemed to know how to face Dortmund, I had doubts about this match so I didn't bet and in the end the result was a draw, Dortmund on paper should have won against Schalke but unfortunately was not lucky to get 3 full points, a draw adds one point, Dortmund are stuck in second place in the Bundesliga standings with 50 points from 24 matches, two points behind Bayern Munich at the top. Schalke is still in 17th position with 20 points.

Dortmund may have forgotten that even though Schalke are in the relegation zone, their recent performances have been very good. I haven't seen this team lose a match in a long time. Schalke had won both of their previous matches against Dortmund. So Dortmund should have performed more carefully against this team. But they did not perform carefully. This is why they conceded two goals. I hope Dortmund will not make such a mistake in the upcoming matches.

PSG went through a difficult moment last night in their match against Brest, PSG opened the goal scoring of this encounter unfortunately Brest equalized the goal towards the end of the first half of the match, in the second half PSG intensified attack but Brest refused to allow PSG shots to be fruitful, it was so frustrating for the French Giants till in the 90th minutes of the match they were able to add a goal that made the scoreline to change to 2:1 in the favour of PSG and as a result of this goal the match was won by them, PSG has to work extensively to rebuild the team so as to get the desired result.

I am no longer worried about PSG's performance. But I am happy that PSG secured 3 points. I am sure that PSG will win the Ligue 1 title. Because they have been eliminated from the Champions League, they will now focus on the Ligue 1 matches. And coach Galtier will want to stabilize his team. PSG is also 11 points ahead of Marseille in the second place in the points table. And this gap will widen in the next few weeks.

After 3 long years, finally a test ton for Koach! Also zero cover drive in his inning, that's impressive. Similar to Khwaja, who didn't play his favorite sweep shots.
I have said earlier that Lyon and Todd Murphy's 9th wicket partnership is going to hurt us. If it wasn't for this crucial partnership then at this time of play India could've taken a different approach as they have wickets in the banks.
Kohli crossed 150 while Axar is playing like a beast. Lyon and Murphy's partnership saved their team from a loss since this match will end as a draw as predicted. Several records have probably been broken in this final test.
The Lankans are probably feeling depressed at the moment. I feel for them since they played well despite playing so few tests in recent years.

Australia vs India match has become boring. I am very upset to see such a flat pitch. India lost 5 wickets and collected 519 runs. Kohli scored 169 runs unbeaten. And Axar Patel scored 51 runs. The Indian team batted the entire day today. It is easy to predict that this match is going to be a draw. And India won the series 2-1.

The Sri Lankan team is likely to win. New Zealand needs 257 more runs to win. If the Lankan bowlers perform well, Sri Lanka still has a chance to win.
251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 12, 2023, 09:53:36 AM
We only saw the toss for a few minutes. Bangladesh won the toss and decided to field. Let's see if Bangladesh can win today's match like the first match. England lost the first match and is entering the field with the aim of winning this match. Let's see if England can win against Bangladesh today. Let us all enjoy Bangladesh vs England 2nd T20 match today.
Bangladesh team won the toss and decided to field. Although the Bangladesh team managed to take the wicket of Dawid Malan for 16 runs, England collected 50 runs after 6 overs of the power play. Openers Phil Salt and Moeen Ali are batting very well. If England can't stop below 160 on this pitch, then there is no chance of Bangladesh winning. Although the batsmen of Bangladesh are in good form, Bangladesh does not have the ability to bat against big targets on this pitch. At least I think so. So Bangladeshi bowlers have to show a good performance today.

Edit: Shakib got a wicket on his first over. England's collection is 51/2 after 7 overs.

I cannot but praise Shakib's captaincy. At the end of 6 overs, England's collection was 50 runs with the loss of 1 wicket. At the end of 10 overs, England collected only 63 runs with the loss of 4 wickets. England managed to collect only 13 runs in the last 4 overs. And they lost three crucial wickets of Moeen Ali, Butler, and Salt. Hasan, Mehdi, and Shakib are all bowling well. Bangladesh will win if they can stop the England team within 150. Because the boys of Bangladesh are now very confident
252  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advantage of holding Bitcoin in time of crisis on: March 11, 2023, 02:51:07 AM
That would be a dream come true. But people often see Bitcoin as an investment tool (not a currency), so don't count on BTC becoming the global unit of account anytime soon. It will always remain an alternative to Fiat because of the way it was designed.
...

Of course it will take lot of time, and of course people still not often consider BTC as a currency. But "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". People will use bitcoin as a currency when it become a comfortable option, when its volatility will go down and when in mostly every bakery around you'll have an option of paying for a small bun and small cup of coffee with BTC fast, cheap and secure. So it is a matter of time and further technology development.

But once bitcoin becomes stable, will people continue to use it? Honestly, from what I see, 99% of people invest in bitcoin for profit, and very few people care about its technology. So if bitcoin is stable, I doubt they will continue to use it. I believe that you and I, and everyone in the market today are interested in the bitcoin price every day.
253  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you interpret the fluctuation of Bitcoin price ? on: March 11, 2023, 02:45:58 AM
The price of Bitcoin fluctuates due to two reasons: demand and supply. The more people are willing to buy and sell a cryptocurrency, the higher it will be traded at. The second factor can be seen in terms of exchange from fiat currencies into Bitcoin; with more exchange happening on exchanges, the price rises because there are more people willing to buy it.

The value of any asset or commodity depends on supply and demand. However, with the bitcoin market being a small and speculative market, its price is still manipulated by financial sharks. Bitcoin was a currency revolution, but it was eventually manipulated by sharks, and they created more shitcoins, thereby creating a money game market where we compete for each other's money. In the future, cryptocurrency will likely be an important industry for the world economy, but for now, it is a big gamble.
254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 10, 2023, 06:00:59 PM
Uff 167.2 overs !!
There are surely lots of tired legs in the Indian camp atm and they have to face tricky 10 overs. 9th wicket partnership between Lyon and Todd Murphy is going to hurt us badly, never a good sight when pure tailenders put up 70 odd runs partnerships as it breaks your confidence.
LOL... when we talk about tailenders scoring runs in Border–Gavaskar Trophy, the ones that come to my mind are Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Shami. Never expected the Australian tail to put up such a tough fight. The 70 run partnership between Todd Murphy and Nathan Lyon destroyed the morale of the Indian team. And in the end it was Ashwin who got both these wickets. India needs another 245 runs to avoid follow on. So far the two openers looked comfortable out there, but we never know. One or two quick wickets can put them in trouble. 
Tail wagging is a nightmare for any team so agree haha
Well if the pitch stays the same then we can expect India to cross at least 300 runs at the end of day 3 (without losing many wickets) as guys like Gill, Rohit and Iyer won't take a conservative approach and will surely play attacking cricket. India also needs a couple of daddy hundred from their top 5 batsmen. If not then they are doomed.

It will be very difficult for India to score 500 runs in the first innings. I don't think the pitch is entirely conducive to batting. But if India manages to play well in the first session of the next day and not lose wickets, they will collect a big score. It is difficult to stay at the crease in the first session. To collect big, the top-order players must bat responsibly. But India's top-order players are not in good form. My guess is Australia will win this match.
255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: March 10, 2023, 05:55:04 PM
The Bournemouth vs Liverpool match will take place at the Vitality Stadium in Week 27 of the Premier League 2022/2023 Saturday, 11 March 2023, at 19:30.
This match will be a game that is enough to make Bournemouth quite worried, because in the previous match Liverpool slaughtered Manchester United with a score of 7-0 and it was the worst match for Manchester United. Currently Liverpool are in 5th place with 42 points and Bournemouth are in the bottom position in 20th position with 21 points. If Liverpool win this match, it will be a good capital for Liverpool to visit the Santiago Bernabeu.
Bournemouth were about to surprise everyone by beating Arsenal last week, but they conceded 2 goals in the last minute and lost the game. Liverpool were undoubtedly the team that attracted the most attention last week. They beat Manchester United 7-0 and won a legendary match. Also, in the first match of the league, Liverpool beat Bournemouth 9-0. I think all the statistics are in favor of liverpool. They have had an excellent performance in the last weeks and I think they will continue this performance away from Bournemouth.

First of all, I will say that after scoring 7 goals against Manchester United Liverpool players are very confident now. And now a win against Liverpool is very tough for any team. Liverpool also scored 9 goals in their previous match against Bournemouth. So I will expect Liverpool to win in the next match as well. Bournemouth will play defensively. So I don't think Liverpool will win by too many goals. My prediction is that Liverpool will win the match 2-0.
256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: March 10, 2023, 05:49:33 PM
I think Manchester United have proven a point in the Europa League once again. They just showed how much they wanted to reach this title by destroying Betis home by 4-1. They have just got an embarrassing loss against Liverpool in the end. People were curious about how quick they could pull themselves together. And this was a proof of a fast recovery. I think they have the same chance with Arsenal to make it to the title.
Betis are normally not a weak team of course. They have been doing pretty good in the La Liga as well. But it seems like they weren't ready for Manchester United's game plan. I don't see any way for them to make a comeback from here.
Manchester United had a pretty good win, I don't think Real Betis will have much of a chance after this time. Real Betis must officially show at home to pass this round. They played really well in their last game in La Liga, but European games are a bit different, teams are much more focused and motivated. Exactly the same in Manchester United, they play with full performance in these matches Smiley
I think Man United has a pretty good chance in the Europa League. If previously they managed to eliminate Barcelona, now they also have the same chance to knock out Real Betis. Many thought that the humiliating defeat to Liverpool would affect their performance but once again Man United proved that they are strong candidates in the race for the Europa League title. I know Real Betis still have a chance in the second leg but I think it will be difficult for them to catch up to a 3 goal deficit because Man United will definitely fight with their full power in the second leg.

Manchester United's goal is the Europa League title. And they will continue to strive to win it. United was badly beaten against Liverpool. They conceded 7 goals. But Manchester United did not make any mistakes against Real Betis in the Europa League match. Ten Hag has developed his match strategy quite well. And they managed to score 4 goals. The dominance of Manchester United players was visible throughout the match.

Another disapointing year for Psg in the champions league even thought they bring the best players every season they fail to win the champions league, i think that the main problem they face each season is the absence of a good coach who is capable to exploit his players
I mean if Nasir Al Khelaifi spends more money they can win a Champions League trophy. PSG management has invested a lot of money just to win a Champions League trophy, they have invested a lot of money just behind the strikers and the defense. If they bought a good midfielder instead of taking so many stykers in one team then their match results would always be positive. However, there is no point in putting the full blame on the coach of PSG because since Messi came to PSG, the conflict with Neymar Mbappe has started. If a team has this kind of conflict then that team will never achieve anything good.

A Champions League title cannot be won by spending a lot of money alone. We got proof of this once again. You don't need a lot of star players to win the Champions League title. But the bond between the team players must be strong. And with that, an experienced coach is needed. If the coach is not experienced, it is not possible to survive in the competition on a platform like the Champions League. If PSG wants to win the Champions League, they must bring in an experienced coach. Otherwise, it is not possible for this team to win the Champions League.
258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 10, 2023, 05:39:02 PM
By eliminating Paris Saint Germain from the Champions League, it will make them focus more on Ligue 1, and it will make other clubs uncomfortable because it is certain that they will appear more dominating than when Paris Saint Germain was still in the Champions League. For the umpteenth time, Paris Saint Germain has failed in this prestigious competition, which they really want to win there, they have even been eyeing it for many seasons. They have done everything they can, including buying many star players, but that has not made it easy for them to be able to realize what they have wanted so far.
A truly disappointing season once again for PSG. I think it's time to change the mindset about star players and start from some very professional players, especially if there are young players from the PSG academy they should be able to be promoted to the main club. But indeed PSG has high standards regarding players and their prestige against other European clubs, they don't want to lose their competitiveness in recruiting star players. For the Ligue 1 title race, it seems that it already belongs to PSG with a considerable distance, I doubt that the rival team can catch it until the season ends.
I think saying that it is truly disappointing is too much of an exaggeration when you play against Bayern Munich in the round of the last 16. The end result would have been the same for both teams. If Bayern lost, the only thing that is remembered is that they lost in the round of the last 16, not against whom they lost. That feels a bit wrong when you have to assess a performance of a team. If the best of the best play against each other early on, one is going home with a big disappointment no matter what.
In this case Bayern was so much better than PSG. I think we can agree on that. PSG needs to approach the idea of becoming successful differently.
Even though losing a game is always a bad thing and can have a negative effect on any team, PSG still lost the game against Bayern Munich, which was not a weak team. However, they spent millions of dollars on their players and hoped to see their team even win the champions league, but still they are in the first round of the league and are the first hopefuls of winning the championship, which is not any worse than what it was for the previous team.

PSG management has spent a lot of money on building their team. But even then their performance was not strong. PSG's coach Galtier is not experienced enough. And this is why he failed to stabilize the party. He doesn't know well how to deal with a lot of star players on the team. This is why PSG's performance was erratic. And their performance against the bigger teams would have deteriorated further. If PSG do not get an experienced coach like Zidane, their dream of winning the Champions League title will not be fulfilled.

Barcelona has really done quite a good job in trying to improving their performance this very season as compared to where they were last season, and the evidence is seen in their move from behind "second position" to have overtaken Real Madrid who were initially toping the la Liga table and now has moved into the first position, and has also maintained this position till date, even though they've had a rough season in the champions league this season, but their performance in la Liga has remained so strong and an outstanding one.
Indeed, compared to other competitions, only Laliga has been able to dominate Barcelona until now and in the next match this week they will face Bilbao, which has a very bad record in its last 5 matches, which has only won 1 victory. I think Barcelona will continue its positive trend and steal points at home to Bilbao to secure the Laliga title this season.

I agree with you. Barcelona will be able to dominate La Liga this season. Barcelona has already been eliminated from the Champions League and Europa League. Now their only goal is to win the La Liga title. As their focus is only on one side. So it will be a bit easier for them to maintain consistency in performance. On the other hand, their main rivals Real Madrid will probably be a bit busy with Champions League matches.
260  Economy / Economics / Re: The cost of living is trying to kill the living on: March 10, 2023, 03:31:43 PM
I think what you feel right now is also felt by other countries, our needs of life are getting bigger but the salary we get where we work is not enough and very different from a few years ago, and this problem there is no right solution to be overcome by the government so many people still feel that their lives are getting more destitute, So for now we as a society must be able to manage the cost of expenditure that is in accordance with our income, and hope that the government can reduce the price of basic necessities that we need today.
If the government is still very concerned about the price of basic commodities such as food which is very often consumed by its people, then what is most important and needs to be considered now is the price of fuel oil and cooking oil. Because these two things always greatly affect the price of other foodstuffs if both experience an increase in price, so that people find it more difficult to have enough money for daily food.

To do that, the government needs more money, and the government's money comes from taxpayers' money. Therefore, it is very difficult for the Government to arbitrarily adjust gasoline prices, if any, it can only support a little part. The government will not be able to adjust gasoline prices in a way that benefits the people but must follow the world market prices.
