1401  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dip, Dipper, Dippest on: August 30, 2022, 09:28:04 PM
A couple of weeks ago I was excited that bitcoin price had gained 23k+. I was positive that it was going to at least stay steady at that point for some and the go up gradually, but boy was I wrong. On Twitter this user - Richard Heart, tweeted "Pray that #Bitcoin doesn't hit $11,000. For if it does, the sound of me patting myself on the back will be heard around the world."(What does this even mean?). Anyways, I decided to open my Binance app(I do not check the price daily. Is this normal?) only to find out that the price has plummeted to 20k. Honestly, I am not perturbed at all because I am a long term hodler. But why can't the price stay steady? Are we moving towards the dippest part of the dip? Just wanna know your thoughts. Thank you.
You are a long term hodler and yet you are still wondering on why those things are happening? It is normal for a price to go down again after it increases because there might be people who take advantage of that small pump. Also there might be factors which have affected the price in a negative way. The price can be steady sometimes. Can't you see that we have stayed on 20k for so many weeks last time?

But, it's not possible for a price to remain stagnant forever because we are not talking about stable coins here but we are talking about volatile coins. At the moment, we don't know if the dip will continue or not but if yes then you better buy and just continue hodling since you said you are a long term hodler. There is no need to worry about your side.

It is unthinkable that Zimbabwe will win any match against an experienced team like Australia. Zimbabwe's team is not strong, more importantly, they lack experienced players. The entire performance of Zimbabwe's batting order depends on the performance of Chakabva and Sikander Raja. But Marumani and Madhevera batted well in the first match. If they can maintain this consistency in today's match, maybe the match will be competitive. But I don't think Zimbabwe can beat Australia.
Quality difference is going to be widened between top six teams in cricket and rest of teams just because of the poor system which is not allowing them for having more games and experience with now as cricket is spreading then need to work on these ODI and T-20 formats for increasing quality and having better healthy competition in first ODI which was completely one-sided Zimbabwe's three batsmen able to perform better, and they have figure of 200 otherwise mostly were expecting around 125 to 140 so here in this series we have no chance for any resistance from them as they are far behind in quality in recent years and their domestic set up is also not allowing them for having better results and quality players for all formats.

Australia is having good practice in this series before going into big challenges and their few youngsters are also improving performance for future which is good for them.
1403  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are Meme coins going to make it to the next bull market? on: August 29, 2022, 09:06:30 PM
The meme coin always goes up every time the bull season comes. but what keeps the meme coin always going up is the hype. and hype arises when a marketing goes well and continues. like the doge coin which always increases when Elon Musk writes on his tweeter that gives a positive code for doge. then after that doge always increase.
However, don't get caught up in the hype and do your own research before buying meme coins,
hype meme coins sometimes won't last long so you have to be careful in making decisions,
Elon Musk's tweets really have a direct impact on the coins he writes on his Twitter
That's the thing, they are based on hype and that's why I believe that we shouldn't be really expecting a good return from them. I mean it's not just a situation where hype "may" make you money if it happens and I do not think that it will happen, hence why it will not be a good idea at all. Just stay away from them and make sure that you are investing into stuff that are good fundamental currencies.

I prefer stuff like bitcoin which is at the very top, but if you are looking into alts, go with eth, bnb, avax or whatever type of high level stuff which are "serious" and not just a meme, I mean investing into a meme sounds as silly as it gets, doesn't really make any sense to me at all.
1404  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you regret buying before the dip on: August 29, 2022, 06:24:43 PM
never that I regret any of my decisions  ,  I am not buying because of the terms instead because of the longevity of time as I am managing buying and keeping it hold that easy money.

so I never regret that i did not wait for the dip instead I am thankful in the moment I bought each time.
It's good if you never regret the decisions you've made, because it's an absolute thing that you have decided for yourself before buying more.
But some people who regret it also don't vent it out to the public other than just keeping it in their own hearts because they also feel ashamed if the regret they experience is known by others.
I am like that too, I do not regret anything about my past, it is the thing that made me who I am today and I am very happy with who I am. Sure there were moments when I could have been richer, but that doesn't change the fact that I wouldn't know what would have happened if I was a richer person, and I know right now, so I am happy.

Regret does not bring anything new to the table neither, if you "regret" you do nothing, regret is not an action, you are not regretting hard enough to turn back time, you can't do anything about it, you missed a chance and now it's missed, regret will not bring that chance back. Look forward, and be better for the next time you have a chance.

Literally Christiano Ronaldo mind is no longer at peace in Manchester United due to their performance and inability to be in the Champions League competition this season, but If eventually there isn't a club that finally signed him and the transfer window comes to an end, He should just endure the pain of not playing in the Champions League for the first time If not wrong, I guess so and focus on his remaining career at United for the January transfer window is just around the corner.
Erik is not punishing Ronaldo for not playing him. Erik is playing what as a result of his experience from trainings. Ronaldo will find it really difficult to fit into Manchester United team again. The team is about power and energy and many young players has it more than Ronaldo. Martial is not fit and yet Ronaldo is finding it difficult to find his place in the team. If martial is back, there might not be time for Ronaldo anymore.
I agree with you about Ronaldo now he is 37, and he can't give results like he was capable few years back so if Ten Haq is still giving him chances then it's good because they need to give better chances to quality players those can give them better results which are now coming with few more quality players are now joining Manchester United which is good news for management and fans because they were losing their patience with the results which were giving them shock after shock, but this positive change is surely going to be good for them and with this now they can achieve higher rank and better results now Ronaldo has to manage with this, and mostly they need to give him chance in one half which will also help him for keeping his fitness for future which could be good for Manchester United and Ronaldo.

Lille have faster recovery and wake up after last weeks defeated by PSG 1-7 and last match success won from Ajaccio 1-3, I think not easy exactly for Lille after destroy by PSG with bigger score. Maybe still have trouble and disappointed result why getting loss with bigger score. But last match Lille wake up and get back winning from Ajaccio and got three points back to fourth standing position place awhile. Bad result again for Ajaccio because until fourth match still can't win and last great achievement when success take 1 points  against with Lens, last three match before always loss and make Ajaccio have in relegation standing position.
lille managed to forget their defeat against PSG last time, they won with a good score, this victory lifted them to 4th position in the standings while Ajaccio had to settle for being in 18th place because they kept losing

- in another match, Auxerre managed to beat Strasbourg with a narrow 1-0 score, this added to Strasbourg's bad history (defeats) since this season started
After very poor start in first game against Lille now Auxerre is doing much better and have two back to back wins against two seasoned Ligue 1 teams which are going to give them better confidence for rest of season, and they will be able to play much better than current situation today's win against Strasbourg is good as they have early lead and then able to keep this until end of match.

In another match Lille is also fight back after having big defeat against PSG in last week now they are back in business and won by score of 1 - 3 on road against another new promoted side AC Ajaccio after this win now they are back at top four which is good they need to improve quality for having better results in coming matches and having better end of this season.
1407  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Changes Lives, Touches Non-Formal Education for Underprivileged Children on: August 27, 2022, 07:14:34 PM
it is great when there is someone who manages to change their life through crypto. I hope that the adoption of crypto will be even more massive, thus creating a new economy that is more empowering for its users.
The presence of crypto currency is indeed very helpful for everyone, even people who have never touched the world of education are able to make their economic life change for the better, before bitcoin was introduced the life of some people who do not have higher education is very sad, finding work is very difficult, because if we want to apply for a job at a company, of course they will ask how far our education is, if we don't take higher education it is certain that our job application will be rejected, I am very grateful to be able to enter the world of bitcoin,
If they didn't touch the world of education, that means they don't know how to read and write so how can they engage in bitcoin that way? And even the person that is educated already, still finds it hard to understand bitcoin but it is true that most people who got involved and got successful in bitcoin are less educated or only have finished high school. And even rich people that we know are also under grads.

I don't know why that happens? Even if bitcoin is only a currency, there are also careers which are related to it and a common individual can apply for it easily. Btc is truly a gift to some, this is why they are very thankful for it.
1408  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: now is the right time to buy XRP on: August 27, 2022, 01:51:29 PM
of the top 5 cryptocurrency on coinmarketcap, then we will see that only the price of XRP has not risen very high and reached the new ATH price, because ATH price of XRP is $3.84 on Jan 04, 2018 (3 years ago), so I am sure if now is the right time to buy XRP, because I think the price of XRP will increase very high and create a new ATH price (such as BTC, ETH and BNB), then of course you will get a big profit from investing in XRP at this time.
Then you have should wait for another year after this thread and I know year later today that the perfect timing to buy XRP.
i might not choose that timing because I bought at a almost dollar price not knowing it would fall now to 30 cents .

in the next couple of years if given a chance to win the war against US security exchange ? then 3-5 dollars is just a peanut for Ripple to achieve again.
He looks confident there that he thinks he sees the future of this coin but in reality, he is only an ordinary person like us that is only speculating. If only he knew that there will be a bear that will take place this year, he won't buy last year but I think what he did there is not wrong since there were also a bull run that happen few months later.

If he hodl that long then congrats to him but if not, then he can always try again. He can still catch up buying xrp now that the bear is not over yet. About that xrp issue, I think that was over already and xrp won that case, resulting for it to remain in the exchanges and it value rise after that.
1409  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CRYPTO IS NOT A GET RICH QUICK SCHEME on: August 26, 2022, 05:53:04 PM
We all have different definitions of being rich and maybe when they say rich, they don't totally mean to have millions of dollars on them so what they are saying is very possible. It is truly possible to earn quick profits here in crypto. Other than short term investing and trading, theres also gambling which allows anyone to earn quick profits but that may not really be advisable since the risk in gambling can be much higher than two crypto activity.

do not rush to buy a project, or be carried away with some influencer shilling a project, only few are trustable, others are just working for the money been paid to them,
Let's be guided...
And why not? Being an early bird has a perk if it's a brand new project. It ensures that the price is still cheap once you get it and when many people find it out, that is the time for the project to grow more in value but personal research is a must and not by only depending on those influencers.
1410  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs Mutual Funds: Where Should We Invest? on: August 26, 2022, 07:25:31 AM
These are not comparable things.  One is a group of stocks/bonds etc packaged together and the other is a digital currency that is meant for making payments.  Bitcoin isn't even inherently an investment, where as mutual funds which are made up of stocks, bonds etc are literally made solely as investment.  Diversifications is key people 
According to my research, the definition of mutual fund is a company that supplies money from the investors. I think you are right, that it is not directly an investment but it was like a loaning business. Bitcoin on the other hand is a digital currency but it can also work well as an asset. When it comes to investing, indeed that it is better to diversify than putting our eggs on one basket.

That is to mitigate the risk but this doesn't always mean that we are also reducing our profit potential as there are times that different assets can rise altogether. We can also maximize our income that way. Better if we diversify on different types of assets and not only in between btc and altcoins.

There is no doubt this is going to be one of the best signing for Fenerbahçe even right now things are not clear as 26 years old Uruguayan is having contract with Valencia until 2024 but as rumors are around going they are in talk, and we can expect something positive in next few days because now we have no enough days, and they need to act quickly if they want to bring this player here at Fenerbahçe.
 
Now with their entry is already fixed into UEFA Europe Cup they need player like this which is going to work for them positively, and they can do much better with the presence of this player and Valencia also can face better.
Maxi Gomez looks like someone who would help for sure but it doesn't look like they could actually afford him that easily neither. I am not saying that he shouldn't be bought, but if they are paying 10+ million euro for a player, then it would be quite hard to explain to the fans who spent so much to cover fenerbahce debts out of their own pockets and then see the team going into even further debt.

Hopefully if that transfers happens and they win the league then it's great, they have been wanting a striker for a long time. But if they get him, and still fail the league then it's going to be presidents head from now on, he already sucked so many years now, fans won't let that happen again.
1412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: August 25, 2022, 08:23:33 PM
The performance of Ligue 1 teams is weaker than last season. Lyon, Lens and Marseille, however, are yet to lose a match. But I don't think their performance is very good. I think PSG will easily win against these teams. A strong squad is needed to fight for the title, who can consistently perform well. But no team in Ligue 1 can consistently perform well. And so PSG is the favorite for the title this season too. And it is believed that they will win the title without facing any obstacles.
In Ligue 1 we have most of the teams losing quality because they are not capable of buying quality players and give tough challenge to PSG which is dominant team in French League for last one decade here the biggest issue is no prestigious cup and no entertaining soccer which is surely important for better investment. French soccer authorities needs to work on marketing as well because without this they have never been any chance of bringing big investors for their clubs, and they will be surely lost quality after every season and this is never been ideal situation for them.

Few seasons back we have tough challenge from few teams like Monaco, Marseille and Lyon but sadly recently these clubs are also losing quality due to not good investment and having quality players for themselves which help them in this crucial time.
1413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 25, 2022, 04:08:16 PM
At this time political parties are scrambling at every level to take their advantage. Even in a national cricket board that is supposed to be free of political influence, their dominance is reckless. Corruption has now reached its peak. Where the opportunity to make good player is very limited. The same thing happened in Zimbabwe where their cricket sustainability issue has become a big challenge.
I am sorry about this because political free environment is not available in Africa and most part of Asia because we have no education and better development for this all even it's not working in most part of South America right now Europeans, Americans and Australians are enjoying with this all because they change their system completely with fair policies and better educational system which is not working around these areas, so we have to live with this all for some more decades because I am sure it's not going to change in our lives this need sacrifice of generation, and then you can take good dividend from this all otherwise we have to live as we are living for last 2 centuries first under white colonies and now local are treating us like them.
1414  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen to layer 2 networks? on: August 24, 2022, 08:15:32 PM
Eth merge is happening and soon we may see a super low transaction fees for eth transactions, the question is what will happen to layer 2 projects like arbitrum and optimism? They doing really great in scaling Ethereum with swap fees no more than 0.2$ but the question is if will keep existing in the future
We "may" only, it means it is not sure yet if the new eth will bring back the old eth that we know where the fees are more affordable. The two coins that you mentioned still have a chance to continue their good performance because they are still being preferred by most people especially those who are in budget because they can't just afford the high fees in ethereum right now but if ever eth returns to normal, I am afraid that many people are going back to it and those two coins that you mentioned will become weaker.

If you invest on them, you need to slowly sell them now and you can put the profit that you will be getting in ethereum.

At that level of fighting, it's all about the money, but obviously they train very hard still and want to win - because that gains them access to future fights and the winner takes a larger amount of earnings home.
I honestly don't think that's true for this match. Even if it's an exhibition match, the least they could do is match players with a similar skill level or so, it wasn't even a matter of training hard, it's like matching someone who trained for 20 years to someone who just picked up working out a week ago. I wouldn't really consider it as anything else other than a simple hype exhibition, wouldn't even call it a match really. To simplify, it's like the odds between a very weak vs a very strong team.
It's about money and they are being paid huge than compared to the money that they will get if they play the match in a fair way and for this, there is no need for the players to train hard but maybe they need to act hard in order for the play to look legit and it won't look like it was being fixed but they fail with that already because if we watch the video, it looks very obvious.

If this was meant to be an exhibition match, what you are saying is not possible but every exhibition match do always has a weird composition of players, like for example lately in boxing. One player is a youtuber without any experience in boxing while the other one is a pro boxer.
1416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: August 23, 2022, 07:14:52 PM
In a couple of years the time of Djokovic and Nadal will also be over. I think the tennis world will be quite different by then and less people will be watching it.

I personally started watching tennis quite a lot exactly because of players like Federer. But that's how it is in sports. Messi and Ronaldo are soon gone. Schumacher was once gone in Formula 1 and Hamilton will also soon be gone. Hopefully those gaps will be filled with new superstars.
That is the normal course of time. Good well-known tennis players leave and new ones come who are also good at some point and will be remembered. And every nation has its tennisstar at some point. I still remember the time of Boris Becker and Steffi Graf. Before them tennis was less well-known on German TV. But Boris Becker's victory in Wimbledon changed a lot of and tennis was on TV much more often until the nineties.
Many players already in cycle for replacing these legendarily because it's life one day we have to be replaced by our siblings, and they have to be replaced by new generation players as right now we have few like Medvedev, Tsitsipas and Thiem these are good players in next few years and have their best for fans around the world. While I was growing then German Stars were ruling on world like Boris Becker and Stefi Graf I really love to watch them but sadly after these two we have no big name and after big gape now we have another player but sadly until now he fails to give any impression.

Alexander Zverev is a quality player but due to injuries and his other activities he fails to have any best possible result because few years back I was positive about his future, but recently he completely fails to have best result.
1417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: August 23, 2022, 05:28:05 PM
I still can't understand how a team that were expected to reach the finale could be eliminated by North Macedonia in the play-off round. I know that it has been a long time since it happened but it's hard to absorb.

Injuries can play a big role for the competing teams in this World Cup. Because the tournament is like in the middle of the season. Players are going to play so many matches before the World Cup starts and this clearly increases the probability of injuries. For example, Pogba is still suffering from a meniscal injury but he is thankfully expected to return on September 12. But he is still injury-prone and this is a big risk for the France midfield.

The biggest favourites might lose some of their important players like this as a result of a tight schedule. And this would upset the balances. Therefore I believe that it is still early to make sure of the success rate of any team now.
Injuries surely going to be had big impact on this world cup and many teams because as we can check right now many clubs are facing serious issues even they have suitable replacements but still these are not enough for them to give support same going to happen in World Cup with Pogba factor is also having big impact on France even mostly are feeling he will be fit for World Cup but still doubts are also on and right now European Soccer season is under progress where we can face some more troubles as well which is also crucial for many top rank teams.

For better predictions and views about World Cup we have to wait for full squads just before world cup because this will give clear details about all teams and their chances into world cup right now giving predictions are not good enough just early talk is ok, but predictions are still far away.
1418  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ATH for ETH on: August 22, 2022, 09:42:01 PM
In the crypto space everyone knows that Bitcoin is called the king of cryptocurrencies, but Ether is called the king of altcoins. Basically, new smart contracts have been developed through this Ether blockchain, and this Ether Blockchain has also played a role for the first time in the NFT world. Ethereum blockchain able to perform variety of tasks. It is currently priced at $1600 and we will see its new ATH next bull market.
That's the greatest thing about ethereum right now, it has been the king and helper of all projects under its blockchain. This means that it is not big just because coin itself is good, it is big because there are many projects under ETH that keeps it high.

BSC and BNB happened to be the same way and why it's high too. I know that it is going to be a pretty big fall if it ever gets a problem or a bug or anything like that, which is why it's looked at so carefully by the developers. I believe the future is bright and it's going to be unreal and even have a chance to flip bitcoin if you ask me, that's what I am looking for from ETH and maybe it won't happen but it won't hurt to give it a try.
1419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: August 22, 2022, 08:46:41 PM
It seems like Sadio Mane has adapted to his new team very quickly. Because he scored two more goals against Bochum and it is 3 goals in 3 games already. He is playing like he is filling the space Lewandowski opened in the team by his goals. Of course he isn't the only effective player as for scoring. They are still playing very strongly as a team thanks to the high discipline. It seems really hard to break this Bayern Munich in this league.
Yes, it is fair to say that without Lewandowski, there would be no problems. The attacking options Bayern has are endless, and they have changed the style of play after Lewandowski departure and they are mastering it. Bayern Munich fans are accustomed to such victories. Over the past decade or so, they have been doing that consistently! Nothing to compete with.
I assumed there would be "some" problems, I mean I am not saying that there would be problems like crazy big deals and issues, but I have to say that there would be a bit of problems and that usually would end with a problem where it would result with them getting a proper striker. Mane is a great scorer but let's face it, he is not a pure striker like Lewandowski was, which is why I assumed there would have been some troubles.

Doesn't mean that we are going to end up with bad results, but I assumed it would have been some issues. All in all it turns out nothing like that, they actually did amazingly and that's why I believe that we shouldn't be bothered about it neither, they surely not.

There is a game that I would like to know if it can only be put in a casino, it is to put a game like the ones in a Chinese casino, which have very strange games, and they look fun, also a game that can be put is that of an airplane simulator, that This game would be for those who have a lot of knowledge, but the simulators should be for risky situations, such as possible falls, would that be possible?
I can't visualize if what is that first game you are talking about because you didn't say anything other than it is strange but how come? Did you visit the casino long time ago? And you hardly remember the game anymore? You will be needing a massive luck for it to be added on this casino since this casino don't also have an idea if what was that game you are talking about.

For the second game which is a plane simulator, I think it only fits on a real casino because of its complex controls. Maybe in the future, that will be possible when online casino's can add games which are mainly be seen in a real casino but the player should buy an equipment if they want to play it.
