1721  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stablecoins or CBDCs? on: April 26, 2022, 11:36:06 AM
I do not think that the launch of central banks digital currency is going to affect stable coins negatively. I think that both of them can coexist, and moreover they are quite different in a way because stable coins are on the blockchain and being used mainly in the cryptocurrency market or community, whereas the central bank digital currency is more of like being used in the bank or issued by the central bank directly to the people.

So, the both of them are quite different a lot. There are always going to be people who would choose between the two, those who feel that CBDC is best for them would go for it, and people who don’t like it wouldn’t go for it, that’s just it.
They can coexist, but depending on how they will be used, it will be a fight between them as well. Stablecoins are getting their attention from being main "getting out of crypto" method in the exchanges, which means that if you want to sell your bitcoins but do not want the money in your bank account for now, you will turn that into USDT and keep it there in the exchange, then when you want to get in, you will use that to buy crypto.

This is mainly how people use it, there is also futures of course. The moment we start to see CBDC's taking over that, and start being the main thing in the exchanges then we are going to end up with a big fight and it will "either or" situation.

Shahid Afridi taking the authority of PSL will be good, but the major focus of these leagues were much upon revenue and not upon development of cricketing. So, it'll be good to add a business person along with the Shahid Afridi. Pakistan to compete against IPL is not an easy thing and it takes time and much money. As in the above quote, the viewers within the country is more than enough to make it popular than any other leagues conducted around the world. For an information, the viewership on the platform hotstar reached 8.3 million during the last over played by Dhoni against Mumbai Indians.
Right now with political instability nothing is sure what's going on and how they are going to handle this all but one thing is sure Shahid Afridi is never been good choice for anyone because he is just cricketer with having no proper education and good experience, so I am feeling he can take job as selector or chief selector but for post of PCB Chief Executive is too early for him as it needs some good qualities and good experience he just retired from International cricket and now suddenly for this job for me, it's a just jock but here in Pakistan anything can happen because they have history of things like this.

For fans base or viewership I surely believe they have never been can compete with India but in quality this competition is going to be good as both leagues can produce good and talented players for own countries.

Milan played a really crucial match against Lazio as it was not only very important but also tough. Lazio were one of the teams that are hard to be defeated. They showed a decent performance against Milan too actually. They scored a very early goal and got 1-0 ahead. But Milan were so determined to win this match that they increased their goal attempts a lot. And their comeback was really worth watching. This victory must have proved how bad they want this title in this season. But their job is really hard against Inter now.
Yeah that was a really interesting game both teams played well but i think this is the best game for milan this season especially if they manage to win the title but inter still the closest considering the caliber of opponents they will be facing but i think we will see an interesting end of season.
It's a bit happy to see Ibrahimovic still providing wins for his teams. He was the one that assisted with his head and that shows that even at 40-41 years old, he is still bringing points to a team like Milan. I never really understood why he had to leave for MLS, sure he must have been paid a lot, but at the same time we are talking about a situations where he could have been paid handsomely enough and play in a club that had a lot more reputation. Milan will not let this championship go off with ease, they will try to win as many as possible and they will hope for Inter to lose but at the same time Inter doesn't look like they are going to lose neither.
1724  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 26, 2022, 06:33:15 AM
Its really sad to see dortmund always losing against bayern and bayern getting the title every year make it boring for football fans i thought this past game would be different considering the problems bayern had recently and especially the defensive side but they ended up winning again i hope dortmund team can keep most their players since they are still young but it seems that haaland will be leaving this season.
I agree, I am not a fan of any German teams, but watching the same team win over and over again is certainly boring, there could have been a lot better stuff to do than just watch Bayern win every year in and out. I mean it doesn't have to be dortmund, it could be any other team in bundesliga.

Look at Ligue 1, PSG wins almost all the time, but last year when Lille won out of nowhere, it was certainly something to cheer for because it was a great entertainment for all of us. I am guessing that we could hope for another team to eventually get better, or more likely option is that maybe Bayern will not be this good in the future one day.
1725  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Delisting of tokens will take place again on: April 24, 2022, 09:53:15 PM
This is a warning to all of you running after meme coins, even if they get listed on top exchanges it doesn't mean they will survive for long, or have you forgotten that many projects got delisted from exchanges after the ICO craze of 2017? The same thing will happen once a tough bear market starts, so many meme coins won't be able to cope with the situation and many exchanges will be forced to delist the tokens.
Most meme coins are not listed on a top exchange but they are only listed on an unknown exchange. Many people are hesitant to use those kind of exchange therefore the meme coins will get delisted because they don't get any volume.

On the other hand, meme coins that are listed on the big exchange (like for example binance) might get a regular volume because there are investors that like to invest on any coins including meme coins that are in the big exchanges. They think it can pump even for a short time only. Of course we don't need to follow those kind of investors because they may be high skilled and willing to take big risks in a return for some quick gains.
1726  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is it always about price? on: April 24, 2022, 09:38:22 PM
And why not? Cryptos are currencies so it's normal that they will talk about the price but indeed it sometimes boring to see the same thing every single day. We always see threads like how long bitcoin will reach this and that price.

People then will feel bad if bitcoin didn't reach the price that they are expecting but only if those people widen their view about cryptos and look on other news like something about blockchain development, they will say that cryptos really have the potential to succeed more in the future. They will stay calm, won't post price updates (excessively) but wait for that moment but news about blockchain is not always positive, there's also negative news sometimes.
1727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 23, 2022, 10:18:05 PM
also from me congratulations to the 10 championship in a row - of course it was deserved again but whether all the players can be so happy about it, i dare to doubt.
only one trophy out of three possible is for such a club as bayern munich wants to be or is, something too little
let's all hope that next season will be a bit more interesting - but i don't think so Tongue
Interesting? its same story every season- Bayern only.. Well why wouldn't they be when they are the team doing smart and economical transfers and build a stronger squad every season. Leipzig and Dortmund will be title rival but compared to Bayern they are nowhere near. Dortmund have good talents but it always becomes a challenge later on to keep them in the club. Same goes on for Leipzig .. so guess this story goes on and on.  Tongue
I was also feeling that Leipzig, Dortmund and Leverkusen can give some good fight but no team near to them for any serious challenge which is the worst thing even now with this all we can't hope any team is going to challenge them because most of other teams are unpredictable, and they are not using their funds for better and quality players like we have in Bayern Munich and few other leagues like Italy and England where competition level is very high instead of here in Germany.

Lewandowski the goal machine is going to be having transfer then surely we can watch some changes but if he is going to stay here then surely nothing new going to happen here in this German League.
1728  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There too much information about btc on: April 23, 2022, 02:39:51 PM
tbh there doesnt seem to be enough.

Most people only think about bitcoin being associated with the silk road which doesnt exist anymore. hardly anyone i speak to irl even knows the price fluctuates and you can get wealthy/it trends up over time. I think if everyone knew that, everyone would pile on board. sending bitcoin to the millions.
The issue there is the story that they have heard about Bitcoin. People hear stories about Bitcoin of something bad that has happened, and they start to associate it with Bitcoin. I have seen a lot of people like that who due to one experience or due to what they have heard, they decide to stay away from Bitcoin and start seeing it as a scam.

It takes a lot of convincing to get them back to understand that Bitcoin is really a good currency that they shouldn’t even be missing out on. And there are a lot of information online, whatever you want to know you will always get it online, The thing is That people do not make their time to do a proper research and understand what cryptocurrency is all about.
1729  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why I think Defi and NFTs will be the most important elements in the cryptospace on: April 22, 2022, 04:14:36 PM
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) for me is the major one for sure.
In the beginning, seems DeFi is no use at all but look at now how it is helping our finance right now, Decentralized Finance (DeFi) solves a lot of problems in current traditional finance, for sure we are still early for it.

Smart contracts is really the player when it comes to DeFi, especially since we are still growing, lot of different chains that already adopting DeFi, it will help to lure more people that will start to explore Decentralized Finance (DeFi).
Only defi's? But what about the nft's? Well defi's can still live even without the help of nft's and if we can remember there are already defi's before but there are no nft's that time. Nft's have only came out recently together with metaverse. This two are a better tandem than the defi/nft.

There are lots of scams defi last time, obviously they are going to die and what is left now are legit projects. Luckily there is only less defi projects that are scam because scammers are now focusing on the new thing which was the nft and metaverse. There are some exciting defi projects that can attract investors but we can't deny that nft's can also do the same thing.
1730  Economy / Economics / Re: Passive income : Bank interest vs staking on: April 22, 2022, 01:34:51 PM
It can't be denied that staking is the most profitable technique today, with staking we can get big profits and even many projects that offer APY of up to thousands of percent, and bank interest is currently very unprofitable because it only earns interest of less than 1% per month.
Not the most profitable but one of the ways to make profit here in cryptos. Most profitable I believe is trading because there is no limit in trading. You can make unlimited money as long as you are a skilled trader. The next one would be is investing but just like in staking it requires patience since the goal to make better profits is by selling at higher price and that doesn't come easily but it takes time.

Be careful on projects that claims thousands of percent because they are good too good to be true and likely a scam. I better stick on lower percent because they tend to be more legit. We keep money in banks because it's safe and convenient but don't expect much that you can earn on them.
1731  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is truly missing in the Bitcoin ecosystem to get this to the masses on: April 22, 2022, 06:06:46 AM
first people need to define how they see 'reaching the masses'
==
some just want to see bitcoin mentioned on TV shows and movies as much as say american shows mention about euros or yuan

Reminds me of some years ago (or maybe not so long ago, it's all a blur now) when I thought mainstream adoption would mean seeing BTC/fiat on any regular moneychanger you'd see on tourist streets. Not sure what would be needed to get there.

Think even if Bitcoin were easily spendable as a currency (arguably, it's not), people in general still see it as something to hold and stack, so I don't think spending apps and retailers really do much, unless paired with deep discounts and other incentives (like bitrefill, lolli, etc.).
True adoption is when you’re able to make use of your bitcoin for transactions easily and everywhere you go to. It’s not by having Bitcoin being mentioned on the TV and having banner being posted in front of one local store. And like you have said, that’s what a lot of people do see as an adoption, they think that they should be seeing the logo wherever they go to, but it doesn’t work that way. Adoption is having higher liquidity and easy to be used or spent wherever you are.
1732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: EFL English Championship League Thread 2021/2022 on: April 21, 2022, 04:58:40 PM
Looks like beside Fulham,Bournemouth is the second team to be qualified directly most probably because they have 2 games less than the third place and only a few weeks are left to finish the Championship.I think these two teams deserve more than others to be promoted to the Premier League,however the only one getting the price as far as I know is only the first place Fulham,I don't know any price for the second place but maybe I am wrong.
After Fulham ensure promotion to the Primer League next season it looks like Bournemouth will also ensure promotion to the Premier League. 4 points difference from Huddersfield who are in 3rd place and have 2 games remaining, of course Bournemouth are the favorites to accompany Fulham to qualify automatically for the Premier League. With 3 match left and behind 4 points I think 6 point added enough for Bournemouth can got one promotion ticket next season.
Fulham and Bournemouth both are in amazing form throughout season so just because of this now both have automatically promotion for Premier League which is good for these teams and management. Huddersfield, Luton and Nottingham these all are also now doing good job but sadly now just one of them able to go into Premier League through playoff, so we have to wait for this team, but currently these all are in good touch with feeling bad for Blackburn with lost their form in last few matches and now down and out from this race.

With this promotion now these teams will have some good financial help, but they need to do some good for this best league in Europe because competition is very tough and quality is also amazing for staying here.
1733  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: SHIBA INU - The Next gem in Altcoin industry on: April 21, 2022, 11:50:21 AM
Although I don't care too much about it when I have also made a profit with this coin, in my opinion, it will probably be profitable for those who have followed and accompanied me to buy it in different places. good price. But besides believing in the future with the information that you are grasping, it is also necessary to recognize that it is also a coin that causes many people to lose, which may be an inevitable rule in this market. There are losers and there are profits. The way I'm standing on the sidelines looking at it, maybe I'm choosing a safer option than continuing to bet on everyone's FOMO.
You are definitely doing the right thing. There will be people who make a profit for sure, but the amount of money that will be lost will be bigger than the amount of money made, there will be less people who profited whereas there will be more people who lost money as well. You just can't see this becoming a big hit and stay there for a long time, for example a few years.

This means that if you are in it for the very quick return then I can understand it, but if you are here just for the long term holding then you are not going to actually like what you see. This is why I believe that we should be focusing a bit more on staying outside for the time being.
1734  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predicts Bitcoin price by 2025 on: April 21, 2022, 10:56:48 AM
2025 is still a mystery, whether the price of Bitcoin will reach the new new ATH like its history or not,
because this is a high risk investment, but an investment that has the potential to grow rapidly in the future,
many have said to $100k and even to $300k, for me at least we have to monitor its progress every time
Next week is a mystery. Could you tell me what the price will be next Monday? I can't tell you, maybe it will be 50k? Who can say that there is no chance that it won't go up that high in a week? Or maybe it will be 35k? Can you guarantee that there won't be a crash? This means that it could be going up or down by 20%+ and we wouldn't have any idea and this is just one week.

If we are talking about 2025 that is like 2.5 years away and there is no way we could even remotely predict it, I wouldn't be within 20% range of my estimate. I believe that 200k+ will be achieved by that point, but maybe we won't be even breaking over 100k? Or maybe we will be 500k, I have no idea which one is more likely.
1735  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin the best investment at the moment? on: April 20, 2022, 09:48:19 PM
If people don't consider bitcoin as a get-rich-quick investment then exactly, I think bitcoin is the best investment for the future.  I do not deny when hyperinflation occurs: land, gold may be in a better area, but overall, bitcoin is not only pure speculation, it is also valuable for using urgent, organic needs in the world.  in modern times consider the important role of bitcoin to the risks from the Ukraine war for example as one of the reasons to strengthen and demonstrate how valuable bitcoin really is and its role fixed for the future!
People do consider bitcoin to be a get rich quick scheme. I mean usually altcoins, most people know that bitcoin will not make them rich quickly, it is just not possible and many people learned about it, you could get rich if you hold it long enough but it is not a get rich quick type of thing.

However, people do not know about it on alts just yet, people still think that you could put small amounts into some brand new shitcoin and could get rich overnight, which is a risky thing. This ruins the reputation of bitcoin and when people talk about it, they learn that someone made some silly investment and ended up being a lot worse in the long run.
1736  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What and where? on: April 20, 2022, 08:12:35 PM
Binance is a good and reliable platform you can use to get things done for yourself especially buying, selling and also trading. The only problem you might face is their KYC verification that normally takes time to be approved. You will have to learn one or two things about the platform so you can easily work your way around it without stress. You can download Binance Academy to learn more about Binance and crypto entirely.
That's how Binance really is which is one of the popular platforms that has full features I think,
whatever it is, what Binance has to offer is truly amazing and backed up with great security too,
related to KYC verification, you just need to wait and be patient
I don’t believe so. I also make use of Binance.com and while verifying my account it never took long. once I uploaded my documents it took around 24 hours for them to get it verified. It’s not like other platforms or exchanges where you would upload your ID for verification and you would have to wait for days before it is verified. The process is usually faster than most of the other exchanges that you would see in the market.

So, for me Binance has always been the best choice to make and it is well recommended for people who are newbies in the market. If you wouldn’t have to go through the stress of making use of other exchanges, then business is really the choice to make.
1737  Economy / Economics / Re: Is crypto the final stage in the evolution of money? on: April 20, 2022, 03:28:25 PM
Crypto has not really fulfill that aim of serving as money so far and perhaps it may or may not (it is under probability) because the future is not certain and it is possible that some group of people are already exploring something new and different using all the loopholes of crypto or btc as a case study.
There is always a possibility as long as human exist.
That’s right, there is no end to the possibility of what we can be able to do in the future. If you go back in the last century and tell humans then that there will be such things as the technologies that we have today, they would all doubt it because they can’t see the possibility of having such technologies. But, today we have them.

So, that’s to show that there is no end to the possibilities of what we can achieve with technology. The earth is gold mine, there are still a lot to be mined and we can’t mine it all. In the future we will still continue to see more and more.
1738  Economy / Economics / Re: Where should I invest? on: April 20, 2022, 02:52:52 PM
Currently there are many investment offers, even on Android there are many offers to invest with rewards of more than 20% per year, but in my opinion investment is that we have full control so that we can decide whatever we like, and we can get that in cryptocurrencies, we buy hold and sell whenever we can feel profit.
What kind of investment is that where you are guaranteed 20% ROI? I guess you’re not talking about cryptocurrency investment or do you mean staking? There are some exchanges where you can stake your cryptocurrencies and make profit which can go as high 20% and more. Staking can be done on so many exchanges such as Binance, Crypto.com, Coinbase pro, etc. But, you have to understand that staking is not the real cryptocurrency investment, the op wants to make a straight investment into crypto and not stake.
1739  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: April 19, 2022, 08:28:06 PM
It was unexpected for many, and that is normal as they played against the number 18. It was also bad against Frankfurt, but it could still be argued that they were playing against their own audience. This was a very different story for the competition. They have put in a good series, that's why they are still 2nd and I suspect they will also be 2nd. The difference with Real Madrid over the whole season was big. but Barcelona only started to play better under Xavi. For Cadiz, these 3 points were rally very important. They jumped to the 16th spot.
for Cadiz this victory is very important for them to stay away from the relegation zone but for Barcelona it is very unfortunate because this defeat they are certainly no longer possible to catch Real Madrid at the top of the table and also I think the mentality and confidence of the Barcelona players is very disturbed and decreased because of the elimination they are in the Europa League.
No doubt this win is game changer for them and now with this win they can be alive in this league for another season because this win can bring some positive change in this team, and they can do much better than expectations. But surely a big below for Barcelona after losing quarter-final against Frankfurt this is second lost in a row with this now they are no able to catch leaders Real Madrid which is clearly 15 points up from them and can win title in next two games.

Now after having two back to back the worst results, surely Xavi will check his mistakes and change them into next games because now it's very important for them to settle before they have gone in wrong way on crucial time of this season.
1740  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any altcoin to be millionere by holding up to 5 years from now ? on: April 19, 2022, 07:47:11 PM
Crypto currency is high volatile trading platform where you can earn lot or loss your assets . After knowing the true fact we stay in this platform due to get more.  In this concern I just focus on one altacoin which will give you more than others ,it’s my personal opinion. We know about Shib coin which is known as meme coin but recently we get news that it will occur in the real world use purpose. As far I know ShibaSwap would be the new use case of the meme token. So it can be one of the most potential coin.
There are many swap projects and most of them come from meme coins. Shiba inu is too late to implement a project like that but maybe it can still get some supporters since we know that shib inu is also a strong meme coin just like doge coin, with a big community because until now it is still surviving.

I am curious if  what is that one altcoin you are talking about but I hope it was not shib inu because number one, shib inu is not an altcoin but it's a token, a meme token. Meme tokens are nothing compared to a real altcoin. They are the ones that can provide more, whether for use case or for profits. Ethereum can be a good example for this.
