In the long term, it all boils down to what consumers and traders prefer because that's where economic reality comes from. After all, reality is created by you and all of us.

I'm not saying that all of the above will happen, but with such a crowded market, it's important to be ready for anything.

If you are familiar with the money market world, I think the best way to stay ahead and keep yourself protected is to invest your hard earned money (Cold money) in the top 5 exchanges. That way you will at least always be safe and calm. The choice is ours.
Investing inside the exchange safe? Maybe you are new here and you are not aware of what happened with FTX. This is the latest crypto exchange that have collapsed but there are more of them in the past. After the downfall of FTX, people are now advised to pull out their money inside the exchange.

I know there are still exchanges out there that are not a scam for now but we can't erase the fact that they are centralized. Meaning they still have full control of your funds. They can do some restrictions if they want to and you can't do anything about that. The only way to be calm right now is to invest on your own and use a wallet which let's you hold your private keys.

Barcelona is not ready to face the big teams that knocked them out of the Champions League. After dropping into the Europa League, Barcelona slowly began to find the best strategy that could lead them to the top of the La Liga standings. Facing Manchester United was a big match for Barcelona, after the World Cup Barcelona was better prepared with the strength of its squad because Barcelona players performed very well while defending their country.
Xavi needs the trust of all the fans as long as the season is not over, a trophy will make the mentality of the Barcelona players rise again. Xavi will not only prioritize the La Liga trophy, he will try to bring Barcelona to win the Europa League trophy which he failed to achieve last season.
There is no doubt about Xavi ability and preparation for the next few years but here they can't go with La Liga and Europa League because right now they have tough challenge from Real Madrid which is also now doing changes for better results in La Liga with this Barcelona mostly try to have strong hand on La Liga instead of going into both Leagues with trophies even they are improving but still it's not strong enough to handle things freely now in Europa League they are going to face Manchester United which is surely doing good job in this instead of Premier League.

Hopefully things could be favourable but nothing is still easy and fans mentality and confidence is also important for them because without these finances can't be better and trophy is also very important for having confidence of fans and sponsors.

it is very unfortunate that in the end Cristiano Ronaldo's dream of being able to play in the final and win the world cup has ended. And somehow I also see that It's time for Cristiano Ronaldo to retire. I would prefer to see Cristiano Ronaldo become a coach. As a Cristiano Ronaldo fan, I feel a little disappointed at the Portuguese coach for not playing Cristiano Ronaldo since the early rounds against Morocco. although the result may be the same. but I want to honor the legend's last moments in the world cup. and in contrast to Cristiano ronaldo it seems that modric and messi are getting better treatment on their team.
Even it's part of the game one win and second lost, but I am also feeling sad for the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo because this was his last World Cup and there were hopes that he will go into last two for facing Messi, and we will have winner from these two legendary players in this event but now after losing against Morocco one is already back to home and second is looking to face Croatia which is surely one of the best teams in this event.

Now it's really test for Argentina that can they end the dominance of UEFA in this World Cup as they are already ruling for the last two decades and there were hopes we will have champion from South America but sadly power house Brazil is already back and now just Argentina is in with having good chance, but it's never been easy to beat quality teams in last few matches things looking entertaining for both teams.

I came across this news on CNBC where standard chartered bank claims that bitcoin will reach 5000$. Being a bank, this can be their wish and not a reality. Banks do not want bitcoin to become popular and therefore they spread this negative information so people panic sell and do not adopt bitcoin.  Sad
What else do you expect? Banks and Bitcoin are not friends so it's normal that they won't help it to become popular. By the time BTC came out, banks are in fact in a critical position and im afraid that they will lose their fame pretty soon. No need to help BTC but their own self are the ones that they must help to retain their position in the financial industry.

A bank that gives a statement about BTC doesn't make BTC become less popular but it will actually help BTC to become more popular because they are exposing it or advertising it indirectly. People who aren't yet into BTC, will be curious and might end up trying and liking it. Telling that BTC will drop won't also cause a FUD but it will only help people to get excited of buying it.

When India toured Bangladesh in 2015, Bangladesh won 2 matches and lost 1 match in the 3-match series. That image once again present in this tour as well. Similarly, they won two matches but lost to Bangladesh in the last match. They lost miserably in today's match. Today's match reflected the nature of India's real batting style. Especially Virat Kohli has been able to play a big score of 113 runs. On the other hand,
Ishan Kishan also showed surprise.
Bangladesh is one of the best side in ODI at home as they won 13 out of 14 series at home which is amazing stuff, and they won against India as well but surely matter of concern for India because they are having not solid strategy which is hurting them badly but hopefully now they will do better things in near future because few good players are in radar, and they can improve quality and performance specially today's hero Ishan Kishan and Sunder who is also having good development day by day but still they need to work on fast bowling because Mohammad Siraj is not having quality with Arshdeep deserve more chances because better and lefty these two things can help him now with end of this series we are heading for test series where India is again facing some issues like Mohammad Shami and Rohit Sharma both out with injuries.
1166  Economy / Economics / Re: LMAO: Lagarde says Euro CBDC seeks to 'ensure high standars of privacy'. on: December 10, 2022, 10:09:23 AM
So similar to what Nigeria is doing, similar to what china and India and El Salvador. Basically agenda of every country is same, to bring prominent digitalisation within the country. This is either with the intention of making country free from black money OR this could be superseded in the view of crypto usage. So they might be trying to divert the attention of peeps from crypto space and let them know government has got their back. While the idea might seem elegant in the view of authorities like CBDC and may be SEC, it’s dumb idea. There is still large population who still rely on the cash and carry business.
I think Nigeria, China and India are strict with crypto so definitely they will also release their own CBDC's and say some nice words with it for it to be accepted by the public easily but smart people knows that this wasn't true at all.

You shouldn't include El Salvador in your list because this was a crypto-friendly country and they even made btc as a legal tender. No need for them to create CBDC's as that only contradicts or can make a conflict with cryptos. No matter what other governments do, those who already use crypto won't change their views anymore. They know that CBDC's are not a crypto. It was the same to fiat but only in a digital form.
1167  Economy / Economics / Re: From grace to grass:Reasons why a Well to do investor turned a nobody. on: December 09, 2022, 06:03:51 PM
So many times we see people who were financially bouyant and stable reduced to nothing in the society,is it because they failed to strategise well?or could it be that they no longer put in the much effort they put before that got them to the level they were?what can actually be the cause of the downfall of someone who was already stable financially?
There could be multiple reason, but some that I think might be the cause are:

1. They got really lucky, but luck didn't favor them till the end.

2. Greed destroyed them. They were doing good, had everything, now wants more but ends up taking wrong decisions resulting in an irreversible disaster.

3. They probably got lazy, wasn't working as hard as before and ended up losing everything.

4. What they had was no longer sustainable due to "economic changes".
I don't think it's all about luck that made them a fortune but there must also be a hardwork involve in it because they are investors and not lottery winners. Greed may be one of the reason on why they got bankrupt. There are many cases like this. Ftx did also got bankrupt because of this. They are using the people's money to grow their company more but they miss calculate the risk. Number 3 is unlikely but number 4 is possible.

Economic changes can be devasting to everyone but I think if we are well prepared and have different plans, we might survive its blow. We can lose big but this shouldn't discourage us to strive harder again. We must believe that we can recover.
1168  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Doge coin of fire, the master is now on the throne on: December 09, 2022, 08:11:52 AM
The OP has written this thread when we are about to hit the last all time high at least of Bitcoin and probably this is the reason why he says that the Doge coin is on fire. And what coins in the top 10 didn't have a massive run that time? And specially Musk pushing for it, the price will really increased and grow.

However, after that obviously the market has suffered already because we are in a bearish cycle.

So it's interesting what will be the next all time high of Doge next bull run.
I think no, he didn't mean about the old ath but what he mean is when btc have recovered up to $20k, he then thinks that this might be the reason for the recovery of dogecoin. For me, I don't think that was the reason but I can believe more when Elon acquired twitter because that have created a hype around doge. Dogecoin fans think it has to do with doge but it wasn't actually.

In the event, Elon mention something great about doge, then I think the price of doge will surely rise even more and maybe that was the time it will made its new ath. I think the next ath of dogecoin will be 1 dollars. This is the most realistic ath of dogecoin for now.
1169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My concern of security when using casino houses. on: December 08, 2022, 08:47:00 PM
To avoid being hacked when playing on an online casino, we must enable our 2fa's. If possible use more than one 2fa's. On some gambling sites they let you add your mobile number other than your email address.

To avoid getting phished, we must bookmark the original gambling sites that we are using and always click on that link wherever you visit them and not by typing the name of that site in a search engine.

Now for the offline casinos, make sure to play only in casinos that has security guards on them and cctv's because there's also casino which don't have this. We can also bring a company with us E.g our friends and love ones.

Final thoughts: Just enjoy every session and don't over think about the worse that can happen.
1170  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: December 08, 2022, 02:13:22 AM
There is no doubt that the prime time of Bangladesh cricket is behind them. It was from the year 2014 to 2019.
At that time, Bangladesh was improving very quickly in cricket. Regardless of whether they were men or women, they were playing really well.

Correctly, that was the time when the Bangladesh women's cricket team brought home the women's Asia Cup trophy.
And in 2014, Bangladesh qualified for the quarter-finals of the World Cup competition for the first time.

But right now the situation in Bangladesh cricket is not encouraging at all. And I think that reflects in the performance of the Bangladesh cricket team.
Here I have my different view about things which you are talking we can have prime time with quality and performance but sadly in thirds world countries specially like Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka we have corruption the biggest issue which never allow developing a strong system and have good strategy for setting things on merit mostly we have political influence and many other factors which create problems for them.

Same happening here in Bangladesh they are capable of having good strategy and best team, but firstly they need good system which is not possible in current situation while most of the posts are going just because of political links and personal friends, and they are doing not positive development if Bangladesh authorities want a good quality team then surely they need to work on few things for domestic setup and this will surely increase their performance in all formats.
1171  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Polygon (MATIC) to $20? on: December 07, 2022, 08:38:22 PM
Long journey to be able to see the price of MATIC can reach $ 20, currently the price is around 90 cents and is a good start for investing in MATIC, I am optimistic that MATIC will continue to rise and maybe be able to follow the previous 2 coins namely ETH and BNB.
Yeah right, because matic's ath is only 2 dollars+ and I think matic is not a new coin so maybe this was it's only potential. Anyway, it is still fine to invest on this coin because its value is still dump and once it returns to its previous ath, we can still be able to earn decently. For sure it will since matic isn't just a normal coin but it was among the top coin.

Eth and bnb are unfortunately still bigger than in matic so I do not think matic can be on their levels but there are other top coins out there which are can possibly be bypassed by matic. I guess that is already enough for those matic supporters to be proud of their coin and they shouldn't expect more.
1172  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Doge can it go 1$ on: December 06, 2022, 05:35:23 PM
Doge can go 1$ many people waiting that.

You know, indeed the price of Dogecoin can reach $1 per 1 coin, but that will only be when the crypto market gets a new push and goes to the moon. And knowing that Elon Musk approves of Dogecoin and has already done a miracle with its price, we can expect another such surprise from him. However, the question arises when exactly to start buying Dogecoin in order to get these coins at the best price. And here everyone must decide for himself whether to buy Dogecoin now or wait for a lower price. But whatever it was, the price for 1 Dogecoin = $1 is quite real, which means we need to prepare for its growth.
It's true that Elon have done some miracles in doge in the past but we do not know what if he is done with it? And what if his intention is only to pump and dump the coin for him to gain a profit, same to what he did with btc before where he only use the coin for his own gain and then announce that he do not like it anymore later on.

If someone still believes on this coin, well it's up to you guys but if you ask if when is the best time to buy a coin, it must be now because the market is still in bad shape and so as doge coin. If we are talking about other coins like btc, then it's bad to wait for them to drop lower because there is only a small chance that they will do but it's fine for coins like dogecoins.
1173  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: major strategies for trading cryptocurrency on: December 06, 2022, 03:21:09 PM
We do have lots of ways and methods which each trader do really keeps on trying to find up on which one is really working but we know the truth that everything
could really be that on random.This is the reason on why we do keep on looking for something better which it is really basing up on what conditions or situations you are facing on.
Outcomes could really be in random and this is why there's no way that we could say that it does have the precision.
Isn't it funny? I mean why we have so many indicators, tools and starts when at the end the market movement can still go as opposed to what you are predicted. Unless only if you join those pump and dump groups because they can be able to manipulate new coins. As long as they are not a scam, the signals that they can give are mostly accurate.

Still, it's up to you guys if which one you prefer. If you prefer the old way to trade then just go on. I am no way of supporting those pump and dump groups either. There is still a thrill and excitement when trading original cryptos because you do not know if what can come and once you predict them correctly, it gives a good feeling.
1174  Economy / Economics / Re: Twitter Crypto head and staff resigns on: December 06, 2022, 04:08:53 AM
I think the factors that affect Twitter employees come out is to feel depressed by the ambitious new owner's plan, they must have a vision that can be realized so that they feel difficult and choose to get out, if there is one person out then usually will be followed by other employees because they have worked together for a long time so that you have emotional bonds.
Not depressed but anxious. They can also feel pressured if they think that Elon Musk is too ambitious because they will be demanded for a much harder work but instead of thinking negatively in advance, why can they think positively instead?

If only they will learn to work under pressure, they will feel that everything is going to be easier for them eventually and once Elon got satisfied for the work that they have done, maybe they will be given by a huge reward. Not only that but they can also get promoted and then their salary will increase. I know it's hard to stay once your co-worker leaves but you shouldn't follow the mindset they have.
1175  Economy / Economics / Re: SEC plans on making crypto initiative top priority as plot for new regulation!!! on: December 06, 2022, 03:25:24 AM
I hope sec regulations within the years in view will also cover the legal side and defined punishment for crypto scammers and exchange that defraud investors. There is the need for proper regulations for crypto now as market is growing and opening up unlike the dark days of ICO that team of scammers did a lot of exit on investors money and put a lot of rules that investors were not able to retrieve their coins after investment.
Once the regulation is enacted, it will definitely be more than what you expect, and even your privacy they will not ignore, they will find a way to control you more. Under the pretext of introducing strict regulations to protect investors, they enter the market and gradually seek to control it completely.

I don't think regulations will be better for cryptocurrencies but regulations that will make us feel uncomfortable rather than safe. But eventually, regulation is inevitable. Sooner or later, they will also put it in crypto with their power.
Regulation are already been there even before but as you and the title said there might be more/new to come. Regulations can mess up with our privacy that cryptos are supposed to offer to us. When we use these centralized platforms and submit our data's maybe that is the only time that they can control us but we are still free to choose a different platform which are exempted on the regulations.

We also have decentralized platforms and I do not think they can cross the line and regulate them. There are still people who love regulations and they can sacrifice some things only to be more safer from criminals but for us who are a fan of decentralization we think it's a bad thing.
1176  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin mining ban in Europe on: December 05, 2022, 11:04:32 AM
Thing is, Big energy companies are starting to show interest in the Bitcoin mining industry. Recently, Shell stated the company was developing green energy solutions for Bitcoin mining. They are also supporting various projects in the Web3 space, so they are going full speed ahead with this. This surely means that others will follow, and soon we will have a lot of pressure from these multinational companies to governments that are not friendly to bitcoin mining.
I think this isn't the first time that a big company shows interest in mining. I know there are some big companies on the past who got involved in it but shell can be the latest one and it can be the first one who will be using green energy which is great.

I think they came out during the time where btc mining have been banned due to energy concerns. It's like they are showing that it is possible to mine btc without depending on the main energy and still be friendly to the environment but it's great if they also show interest in web3. I didn't knew that or heard that they include in their proposals but this doesn't mean that other big companies are going to follow. Not all of them have the same mindset.
1177  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: what do you expect from cryptocurrency? on: December 04, 2022, 05:26:59 PM
Todays world's economy is not so good. High rate of inflation and many bad things are happen, also cryptocurrency market seems not so good either. But I think it is better to hold bitcoin rather than fiat as government seems that can't do something significant improvement on economic growth. Unlike my expectations for the world economy, I have good expectations to cryptocurrency especially bitcoin. Bitcoin has a good thing that called a "Halving" where it usually cause it price to rise, while other fiat don't have anything to expect except inflation. I would like to know about your expectations about cryptocurrency, please share your opinion.
I think cryptos such as bitcoin do also have an inflation but it's not that high as fiat money, thanks to the halving. You think crypto market is not good but it was only normal and this is due to the bear market that happens after the bull run. People shouldn't worry about this but they should be excited about it as well other than the bull run because they can be able to buy at cheap again.

For me, I think it's better to also have fiat money with us because there are times that btc isn't accessible or not supported. Btc is also unstable. Fiat has nothing to do with the improvement of the economy but it's the government's obligation so dont put the blame on it.
1178  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Binance aml/kyc in the eu on: December 04, 2022, 04:26:35 PM
If Binance started to asked for another KYC details probably they are updating your info and maybe you are trading with a lot of money which requires for another KYC, and with this you can submit it or choose not to. Even if Binance is a top crypto exchanges i will also hesitant to provide any documents pertaining to myself, asked for a reason and ask if there another way either to lower your limit or withdrawals.
Same with what I experienced on some centralized crypto wallet and non crypto wallet that I use. They also ask me to reverify my information. I think this also has to do with the i.'d's that I submit before. They don't allow it now and forces me to use another type of id. I use national id for this because this was the latest i.d that our government implemented.

I do not think this has to do with the limits because I am not transacting heavily and it can take me a long time to fill the small limits that they have but once these limits are reached, it is still possible for it to replenish after some time or I can do the higher level of KYC. This requires documents which are hard to obtain.
1179  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: December 04, 2022, 07:02:01 AM
Ronaldo could still play in a great team, it is not going to be that much great, and I know that it will take a while before he could find the proper offer, but for the time being I would suggest not to sign a 2.5 year deal, just sign a deal for end of the year and when the year ends he could go somewhere else.

The problem is his age, nothing else, he is too old and that is the thing that creates all the problems for him. If he could end up with some good results for half a year anywhere in the world, USA or Arabia or Qatar, in the end he could come back, he just needs to show the world that he could still play at a high level and score very easily, and those teams are beneath him.
Even every one is going with different views and thoughts about Cristiano Ronaldo abilities, but now one thing is sure at the age of 37 he needs to be some calm which is surely important for his rest of the career now after exit from Manchester United we have too many rumours about his career with recent Saudi Arab offer is surely one of the best in soccer history, but surely this is not favourable for him because with this he can gain enough money but skills and performance could be decreased because we all know Saudi Arab soccer is having not quality which we have in Europe and with this he can end his career with really poor way which is never been ideal for the player like Cristiano Ronaldo.
1180  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: December 03, 2022, 07:46:42 PM
There are no many strikers who are available in the market. The ones that are available are not as good as the quality that Real Madrid will want but however any kind of striker that Real Madrid wants, they will be able to get him with money and because of the prestige of the club,  unless it is PSG that is contesting it with them then you know that PSG can always spend them to it Grin
Meanwhile, Benzema is still in real madrid, for the mean time before he returns, Rodrygo and Velverder can be helping the club
Most chances they will not do any changes in winter transfer window with just some part-timer striker will be also enough for them but in Summer transfer window they will do better changes and try to bring quality replacements which are need to time for them as well because right now few players are going out of their best, and they need to do things as they are doing for decades few players are already under their radar which mean they will keep in touch with them, and they will try to engage them for having their squad more strong but still it's all needed time with money is never been problem for them and their current coach is also one of the best in this business which can turn tables into his favour without any big trouble.
