2121  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Proof of work vs proof of stake? Why can't i STAKE my BTC? on: December 23, 2021, 01:04:56 PM
My understanding of proof of work is that basically (miners/CPUs provide power to write transactions on the blockchain) whereas Proof of stake (is when we hold a certain currency and lock it into the systemso liquidity increases).Please correct me if im wrong.
Also why is it that only some coins can be staked?What are the conditions for a coin to be eligible to be staked?
And why are the returns on staking different on different exchanges?Is it simply due to difference in commission ,as logically the return on staking should be universally same depending upon the lock in period?
Staking is not something that works for every cryptocurrency. The cryptocurrency that you are holding has to allow such before you can stake it. Bitcoin cannot be staked, but there are some exchanges that would allow you to deposit your Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency at all into a savings account or something like that and you will be earning interest per annum, the interest goes anywhere around 4% to 6% per annum, and even as high as 20% for some altcoins.

So, you cannot stake Bitcoin for now, but you can stake Ethereum (because of the ETH 2 upgrade). And then other cryptocurrencies that you can also stake are Texos, and Cosmos. There are also many others that you can stake, you can just look for the ones you believe are really good and you can select them and start staking them.

The whole farmer's league has been unattractive to many, not exclusively for this match. I so much wished that Lorient could replicate what Spezia did to Napoli in Italy. It nearly happened. Despite PSG dominating the game, they had narrow luck on goals.
However, Icardi go suddenly lucky to redeem a lone point for his giant side.
This is fascinating team like Lorient giving hard time to PSG with they have nearly 77% ball possession and 17 shots on goals and in presence of some quality strikers just level match 1 - 1. Surely it's not good for PSG, and they need to think about their strategy because it's going to hurt them for next matches even they are already having some good gape of points and title is in their wallet already. Just Mbappe was not available and rest of team giving very poor performance is having not good impact.

For Napoli, it's having nothing good with too many loses in last few matches and now at 3rd spot with still chance to go more down after break, and they are going to face Juventus which is in good touch now.

Before Series they have big claims but right now only malan/root are clicking in there entire line up. There runs are not adequate to give some chance to English bowlers. There was big news when squad was announced that Stokes is available for ashes but so far he is a complete failure.
These were not big claims mostly hype creates for this current Ashes series because we all know these two boards having some good benefits from this, and they need to do this all for more revenues which were good but after two tests results peoples understanding this all with third test is going to play at MCB on Boxing Day which is also having some good for CA as these five days are most important for them.

Meanwhile NZ has announced its squad for 2 test against Bangladesh. There is a big surprise (to me at least), Ajaz Patel who recently made a historic record by picking 10 wickets in an inning against India is dropped.
Drop of Ajaz Patel is not surprise as New Zealand home pitches are not good favorable for spinners mostly their seamers doing very good, so mostly they drop them and having just one spinner with some good batting skills, or we can say all-rounder.
2124  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will competitors defeat ETH due to ever-increasing gas fees? on: December 22, 2021, 09:02:28 PM
ETH miners seems like a cult group who love to see the outricious gas fee the network, despite all the upgrade and forks, gas fees still remain rediculously expensive. The market that ETH would have been controlling alone has already been shared but a total defeat is not clearly visible because of first mover advantage, continuous development of the network and massive offchain support, it will be difficult to display ETH from number 2 position by any competitor.
Acceptance of ETH by a wide number of organisations and it's popularity alone can make it outstand in the market. Other coins except BNB aren't even close to ETH in terms of development of the project and also support.
Other than BNB I guess there is no second alternative to ETH currently, maybe there would come better projects in the future that can take the place of ETH in the future.
I am not sure that ETH could be defeated at all. Not because I believe one or the other but because gas fee could drop at any moment, it is not a forever thing that the ETH gas fee needs to stay high, maybe in a few months they do something new and the gas fee would become under 1 dollars, is there a guarantee that they won't?

I am not saying that they will do it, I am just saying that the "threat" of it being there is good enough for most people to have that type of situation. This is why I really care about the current situation as it is and will probably stay that way. Sure other projects are not close enough at all, but the fact that even if they get close in development, there is a good chance they may still be lower.
2125  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread on: December 22, 2021, 08:23:33 PM
And I think that this season, it's Barcelona that needs a good result in the Europa League, otherwise they will have one of the worst times in their history.
In Spain, they are not even in a position to allow access to European competitions. Of course that will change for sure, but things are a bit complicated.
That is for sure... Another draw against Sevilla yesterday, but the league is pretty weak so despite their bad performances they are just two points away from the champions league qualification. If they want to save the season somehow, they must win the Europa League, there is no way around that. Surprisingly, they are now going to rebuild the stadium for several billion Euros. I wonder where they do get the money from? Even the Europa League title isn't going to save them! Cheesy
Even League is weak but right now on top we have some good competition for place in next year's Champions League Real Madrid is at top and Sevilla is at second for very long time mean they have some good time.

But, suddenly with the worst form from Atlético Madrid and Real Sociedad, Barcelona has chance for taking spot which is not easy for them because they are also facing some issues like in last match against Sevilla 23 shots on goal and have just 1 goal mean lacking of finishing. They need some quality finisher for having some better results Xavi arrival is having some good impact, but now next step is some quality players which will give them good results with this they will be good for next season even having not good result against Napoli in this knock out match.
2126  Economy / Economics / Re: Advice for the season. on: December 21, 2021, 09:58:23 PM
Don't get me wrong on that. Truth remains that a lot of people do things because of pressure, and not necessarily because they would've wanted to do them on their own. That's the point I'm struggling to remake here. By the way, if you're alluding to Christmas as part of culture and beliefs attributes; that won't be correct because there's no where it's stated in the books that Christians should celebrate it. Not even Easter too. We should see the celebration of Christmas as more of a cultural and traditional thing. That was how the whole thing began in the first place. I think a lot of people take out the time to unwind around this period because it's a celebration that comes at the near end of the year. There are company and business holidays at such end of the year and most people utilize the time to travel and visit loved ones. Apart from that, there's nothing special about Christmas.
I am not even Christian, or even my nation, where I live there is like maybe 1% Christian population and yet we still celebrate "Christmas" not in a religious way but more of a cultural thing and basically just to have fun.

Life is boring as it is, wake up, work, sleep and so forth for most people in the world, it may not be for us in crypto world and could be a bit more fun but 90% of the people live wakeup-work-sleep cycle and that is the reason why we try to have fun no matter how it happens, including something cultural that was based on religion once upon a time. This is why I believe that we are talking about something that is very dangerous here if we keep considering it only in religious terms.

You’re right, Metaverse is a very good investment. It’s an investment that would be worth considering, because there are millions of dollars being invested every day, although I can’t say for sure whether it  would be bigger than BTC. When you talk about being bigger, do you mean the Metaverse platforms combined, or just a one platform itself? For example, there are different metaverse platforms and to mention a few of them, there are Decentraland, The Sandbox, and Axie Infinity. I don’t think any of these platforms itself would be able to become bigger than bitcoin in future, but in combination? Maybe.
2128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage! on: December 20, 2021, 08:06:53 PM
If we analyse the game based on players quality then this is a no brainer that PSG should have an easy win in this fight.However Ancelotti has a lot of experience in Champions League back at the times when he was managing Milan and he has also won a couple of Champions League trophies with Milan.This experience may really be a game changer if he manages to tactically to block PSG players,he is an Italian and they are well known for applying the best tactics to football.We still have to wait a couple of months before seeing this clash so there is time until then.
Surely this is one off biggest competition in Champions League knock out stage with two heavy weights are going to fight for place into quarter-final currently on papers PSG is very strong and having some better chances, but Real Madrid under Ancelotti is doing best job for last few weeks and having very good results, so it's not easy for them in presence of an Italian legend to win this match very easily. Another thing is also very important, Real Madrid is having love affair with Champions League and PSG is still looking for their first Date even they spend some very big amount in last few years for this one.
2129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread on: December 19, 2021, 10:02:45 PM
I think it comes real down to whether or not the Barcelona players can get used to the fact that they are playing Europa League and not Champions League. Especially players like Jordi Alba or Pique may have a hard time to motivate themselves to give their very best as it is a brand new situation for them. Maybe it is even good that their opponent is Napoli so it doesn't feel that bad.
As right now Barcelona is struggling badly in La Liga they need to go ahead strongly with this because if their players give their best then surely they can win this title and having spot in next season's Champion League very easily otherwise they need to do some very hard task for having spot in Champions League next year with currently staying in 7th rank with chance of dropping at 8th because their next match is against inform Sevilla which already beat Atlético Madrid at home and now can beat them at home without any serious trouble.

But, no one can give his prediction about these matches as Napoli is also having very good form after losing few points now they are also back on winning track and can beat any good team on their day.
2130  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What did you learn about crypto trading? on: December 19, 2021, 03:06:22 PM
From cryptocurrency trading I have learned a lot that when the marketing momentum is downward you can invest and when upward market you are up Sell ​​the invested assets.
That must be the simple way, a trader needs to do to make profits but unfortunately people are too active to buy around peak price levels out of FOMO and then when market crashes they try to sell due to fear. When we are gathering experiences then we can slowly get rid off emotions to dominate our trading which is more important to execute the simple plan of buying low and selling high.

We are all learning something new everyday but hoe effectively we are making use of the in live market will script the passage toward success. Trading crypto is not easier until you learn out of your own experiences.
2131  Economy / Speculation / Re: How far can bitcoin price correction go? on: December 17, 2021, 09:03:11 PM
I know that it is not really a secret that bitcoin is way too "money", it goes up and down and up and down all the time. We literally reached 64k ATH this year, same year we dropped under 30k, and again on same year reached to 68k+ and now we are under 50k, this all happened in a single year!
It hasn't been kind to the market so far, I am hoping that it will do a lot better in the near future. I know that it is not something that would be easy to recover when the price gets established this much, but I also know that when there is a big run to a higher price that ends up being fine for all of us. I know that it will not be easy and it will take some time before it could reach to a better place but I also know that it will not be that bad if we could just all get together.

So, we have a difficult path in front of us, but if we all get together then we can beat this challenge and be higher, but if we fail to get together and rise, then it will stay like this or even get worse.

I do agree that woakes is just an over rated players. His performance in 2019 WC is the only remarkable I remember. England most of times in Ashes is down and out, as far as this test is concerned I am sure Aus will easily win it. England should look for some new talent that can replace Jimmy/Broad pair.
Why do they need to replace Broad and Anderson? Anderson in particular can go on for another 5-6 years at least and can easily target 1,000 test wickets. Just because someone is young, that doesn't mean that they should replace more skilled players. In case of Woakes however, I think that the selectors need to rethink. Mark Wood maybe a better choice? I would still support going with 4 pacers, because Jack Leach looked out of sorts during the first test. Anyway, they have a part-time spin bowler in Joe Root.
Problem is not with bowling side because combo of Anderson and Broad doing very good for last one decade, but they have not good supportive bowlers with worst batting which is creating more problems for them recently we have watched them against India and now in Australia just Root is having consistency and Malan and Stokes giving some support, but all others are just waste of energy and time because they have no talent which is question mark on their domestic system which is one of best but now no producing quality batsmen.

In Australia, we have too many options available for them like Warner, Labuschagne, Smith and Head these all are quality and have good performance in every match.
2133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage! on: December 17, 2021, 07:27:00 PM
There are still months to go for the last 16 matchups to be played in the Champions League. And the covid-19 situation is getting heavier in Europe now. Therefore, I think that it is really difficult to comment on the matches. For example, Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho and Curtis Jones tested positive for covid-19 at Liverpool today and they couldn't play in the Newcastle match.

If the corona virus is spreading now, of course it is not impossible that uefa will stop the champions league competition for a while, several clubs in europe have confirmed that many of their players have contracted the corona virus and make them have to postpone the current match in the league domestic and European competitions.
Currently, the situation is under control in few countries, just England is facing some serious trouble with this, and it's happening just because of their soft policy which is now creating serious problems for them. Now their next decision is they need to stick with this all because it's very important for safety about Champions League now we have two months break hopefully in this time we will have some better improvement because it's very important for this season and all countries now in next few month's soccer world could be very busy with many events coming so postponing any event is going to be very bad for all.

But right now we can't talk about this all, right now we have only one thing in hand, and it's wait and watch, hopefully all will be good for all parties.
2134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: December 17, 2021, 05:28:46 PM
If i'm being honest then both parties acted weirdly. Be it BCCI leaking confidential news about Virat, sometimes ridiculous news or Virat considering himself bigger than the BCCI or anyone else. He literally thought that BCCI would let him choose whatever he wants as far as captaincy is concern. I don't blame him for going on that road, considering BCCI did ignored his countless mistakes in the last 4-5 years.

Team should be fine i suppose but i want to see batsman Kohli to fire up with the bat and compete like a champion in SA tour. Last time we were there, he fucked up with the team selection and we lost the series despite being a better team.
Here I agree with your all statement about Kohli because he has done some countless mistakes and these done some big loses now BCCI done a good decision about this all but media creating hype about this all which is not good for both parties now it's time for looking ahead and having some better way with Rohit Captaincy hopefully now they will perform some better in both formats.

Right now biggest challenge is winning a series in South Africa which is possible with current team and performance but this need some good coordination between team and management.
Kohli is never been bigger than BCCI now it's matter of understanding for him because he is serving for his country and he can do some good in new role I love his batting and his passion about cricket.

Also need teamwork and wealthy mindset but here is problem if u not with networking making connections and doing ur finances the way how it should be then u cant get wealthy.

So this one is suitable for ghetto people come together invest ur dope money in markets get few good traders and fund managers usually they have good inside info btw anyone who have learned about finances and corporate investment have some pretty decent inside info.

If u guys need more directions how to organize this proper way then ask.

Its time wake up and doing wealth without crime or working bs jobs such us construction or mc donalds.
Time imvest and manage ur wealth proper ways
You don’t just hire fund managers anyhow, you need to have the money to do that. And having a fund manager might not really be a good choice to make while you’re broke, because you can learn about this thing and be good at it as much as those fund Managers, and as well save your money. All you need to do is to learn and then practice steady to be good at it.

Yes it’s not an easy, but you can do it if you set out the time. Don’t try to imitate the rich by doing what they do, just cut your coat according to your clothe, and do what you are meant to do to get you to the level that you are supposed to be at. Those rich people that you are talking about has a lot that they are into, and they can decide to hire A fund manager to manage their trade for them, but that shouldn’t be for you, you can save yourself that money that you will have to Pay a fund manager and do it yourself.

Lol, this seems like a good funny thing, I wish I took a screen shot of my holdings at the time but CMC doesn't provide a portfolio type of deal just yet, it provides just the prices. In any case people might had some little heart attack when they see that, I am sure that everyone understood it was just a mishap and not the real deal.

Hopefully we will reach insane numbers one day, when I first got into crypto even these ATH prices that we had looked like insane and nowadays we are talking about how we "dropped" to 50k and all that, when in fact that was something unimaginable at the time when I started. I know we will not reach 800 billion or whatever, but maybe 8 million one day? That seems like a possible thing in the distant future.

every top trader places high value on technical analysis knowledge and its application. for everyone that aims to be a successful trader must learn to study and understand technical analysis so as to be able to sigh read charts , interprete and place trades. please kindly share some tips and material links, journals for newbies and anyone who wants to brush up their knowledge on technical analysis.
It can be really intimidating at first for someone who is a novice tool agreed chart. Setting the first thing that you have to do since you’re still new to it is to learn the basics of technical analysis. For you to be able to learn you will have to be ready to also do your research. Because, you can’t learn when you are not doing your research if you keep asking just questions you are not really going to get it direct come get my dress drop little tips and it wouldn’t even be enough for you to lend that. And also they wouldn’t even go in depth into it.

So, that’s why you have to be ready to do your research, and read books  or articles that are about technical analysis. When you keep on doing that you would see that your understanding of what technical analysis is all about will improve overtime. It’s just a process, and everything has to do with process text time.

Only red lights have been burning in the market for several days now. Many have investing and lost a lot. I have lost a lot by investing myself. I don't really understand which way the market is going or will go. What do you suggest in such a situation? 
The market may drop but I don’t really think that it is going to be as much as it was in 2018. The market has passed that level now, and it has a bigger market cap than what it used to be then,. So, even if the market should go down at this point, the drop is not going to be too much like then, it will still maintain a higher price.

If you check in 2018, the market went down from around $20,000 price to below $10,000 (I think it dropped to $3000), but this time around if the market should drop, it might be stopping above $30,000 or even $40,000, and then we will be expecting it to go back up again. So even if you are losing money now, it doesn’t mean that you are going to be losing money forever, there will still come a time that the market would go up and you would recover all that you have lost in the market.

1. Still I ended losing more money than I made, I was sitting on 30,000$ profit last month but I failed to take profit just because of 100k BTC rumour that looks like reality

2. be careful of Crypto YouTubers deceiving people to buy in cryptos where as they are simply predictions, most times crypto market can't be predicted correctly

3. Follow your heart and nothing else cos if I've done that I would have pull my 30k profits and now I'm left with 5000$ in usdt
Quite bad, but like you have said – the race isn’t over yet, there will still come a time that the market is going to increase in value and you will be the one who is looking back at every experience you have had now and you would just laugh whenever you remember what happened.

The market has not gone down finally, it is still going to go up again in future, but I am not going to lie to you – this is very much likely to take a long time before you’d see the price go up again, unless maybe we might be seeing another increase in price this December? This is why it’s important to first of all know your target before talking about following what other people has to say.

We have to get used to seeing goodbyes like this in football now.  There were people who predicted that Sergio Agüero will play football for at least 2-3 more years.  He had to leave early due to health reasons.  It is a fact that now Agüero's icon card will be released in Fifa.  Because he was a legend.
The most difficult retirement is when it is not by your choice.
when an injury or a special condition forces you to leave football and you still want to play
Aguero retirement will leave a great imprint that will not be forgotten in the hearts of City in particular, but in the heart of every Argentine in general.
one Few footballers do not find anyone who hates him or reduces his talent and presence.
There is no doubt about his ability and talent he was one of the best players in Argentina history and his achievement here in Manchester City was also unforgettable, but sadly he leaves this soccer very early just because of health is priority instead of sports. He will be remembered as good player from Argentina after Maradona and Messi with some good respect because of his gentleness and quality of game was unanimous.

Barcelona is also facing some serious trouble just because of this in his presence, surely they can feel much better and have some better results, but sadly now all ends in very quickly.
