1541  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why I won't be buying Eth until the merge is completed things are running fine on: September 09, 2022, 12:51:55 PM


The idea itself (POS) I don't think it is good in the long run so I sold everything I had.

Many people assume that once moving to POS, ethereum will become more centralized and will be managed by whales and exchanges, the price of which can be more easily manipulated. But upgrading to POS of ethereum is really necessary as it has become very slow and old, scalability is not available, especially gas fees hinder eth development. Moving to POS, eth will be more eco-friendly as it reduces energy usage by up to 99% and token deflation will also make eth more scarce, thereby boosting the price of eth.
I can see a lots of investors are aping into Ethereum because of the merge that had been trending online and everyone is preparing to make some good profits before the bull will arrive looking at how volatile the market will be.
Well Ethereum will be more eco-friendly soon and the POS is a better option for every Ethereum investors which will finally reduced the high network fee people had been battling about to be lesser and stable.

I think you are as confused as the others, most people are misinterpreting the ethereum upgrade. After many delays, the ethereum upgrade will be completed on 9/15 but the upgrade to POS still cannot make ethereum network fees cheaper as people think, but only helps ethereum reduce energy consumption like me said. The network fee reduction and block expansion for ethereum will improve after ethereum receives the sharding update. For ethereum, sharding is the most important update.

I believe that the hosts are the clear favorites of today's match Lens vs Troyes. Lens started the season great, they are in the top of the table, have not lost the game yet and are playing really attractive football. Another advantage of Lens is its own stadium, where they have won all the matches so far. I bet on the victory of the hosts.

Undoubtedly, the Lens team is very strong compared to Troyes. Lens has a stronger squad than Troyes. There are plenty of talented players in Lens' squad. On the other hand, squad of Troyes will be slightly behind compared to Lens. However, Troyes's performance in the last 3 matches is very good. They have earned 7 points in the last 3 matches. Troyes managed to score 8 goals in these three matches. So now the party can no longer be called weak.
The match between Lens and Troyes is expected to be very competitive. Many people think that this is Lens' home match, so this match will be one-sided and only Lens players will dominate the match. But I don't think so. The match is highly likely to be a draw.

I see that the hot news is that many fans regret the Nunez transfer.  they said that the team spent meaningless money, nunez in that match didn't have a big impact on liverpool's attack line, much different from mane before
It is impossible for a baby when it is born to immediately run after its father or mother. Darwin Nunez came to Liverpool not from an English club. An adaptation process is necessary for a new player. Darwin Nunez also cannot play alone without the support of other players. Let alone Nunez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are also not able to do a good job if the service is not provided by teammates.

Darwin Nunez was brought in as a replacement for Sadio Mane. So the expectations from him will naturally be higher than mine. But he is still young. Darwin Nunez is only 23 years old. Three are talented enough but not experienced. Experience is definitely required in a competitive platform like the Premier League. It also takes time to adapt to the team. He has just played four matches in Liverpool's jersey. Scored a goal and an assist. Darwin Nunez needs more time to adjust to the team. Hopefully, he can become a worthy replacement for Liverpool's Sadio Mane in the future.
1544  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: September 08, 2022, 10:16:38 PM
I think we should look away from mane's departure from Liverpool as the key factor to Liverpool's present predicament as the club has failed in all totality to deliver since the beginning of this round of the premier league. But then Liverpool needs to wake up and man up to face this round since they have not made any positive development since the beginning of the season and if changes need to be made in the club then that should be done I can't imagine Liverpool being under five on the league table.

With transfer window closed, Klopp has to make his way with the players he has. I think current squad has everything it needs to hold things for now but they need to take things seriously at defence. Another main thing is that Salah is unable to find much goals which is a worrying sign. Furthermore, Nunez also haven't been able to make a good impression given his price tag. Its Luis Diaz who seems to be doing the hard work as of now in their team.

Next they have Wolves ahead in PL and hopefully they will try to change things here.

I am quite sure that some people are going to bring up this problem of Liverpool and say that the coach is the main problem. Even though the same coach, with the same team, has performed quite well in the last season. The only difference is that Sadio Mané is not on the team anymore.

I know that he was a very impactful player for Liverpool. But one person cannot disbalance the team so much right?

I really don’t understand what is the actual problem. Because this team is certainly good. I think probably as Darwin Núñez is going to be the main striker in the team, Klopp is trying to make the team built around him. And probably that is the mistake. I am not a professional coach or anything, I am just stating my thoughts.

I think I made a mistake buying at $23,500 (obviously), so when should I really start to panic now that we dropped to $18K?

At what price point now should I consider to add more to average in at? Like, if you owned a bitcoin at $23,500, would you wait for $10K or 15K to start adding more to average in your high price of $23,500?



No, you bought bitcoin at a pretty good price. However, you made the mistake of not researching the volatility of bitcoin before investing, it is very normal for bitcoin to drop in price. Looks like you invest in bitcoin and you expect bitcoin to increase continuously so you can profit. Let go of that silly thinking if you want to continue investing in bitcoin, bitcoin is not a fast food box that we can indulge in quickly. Bitcoin profits come from long-term holding and only those who end up can enjoy its rewards.

I have never heard of it before, it seems like a new name in the market after p2e, m2e, and just recently I saw that the project is called 'sleeptoearn'. I think you should avoid this project or you should observe for a while to see if this project has real potential or not. We are in the bearish season and today bitcoin continues to have a slump indicating that the market is not ready for a bull run in the near future.
Investing in new projects is currently not recommended because it is too risky, old projects are also struggling with ferocious bears, so new projects are easy to become scams. and disappear quickly.

If Australia's opening pair doesn't break quickly, the chances of Australia winning this match are high. The target is not too big. Australian players have to play very carefully and try to stay at the crease. Australia will win this match if they don't lose quick wickets.

Australia's opening pair could not stay at the crease for long. They lost the wicket of Aaron Finch in just 2.4 overs. He returned to the dressing room after scoring only 5 runs.
Australia also lost the crucial wicket of Steven Smith in the fourth over. Australia is in trouble after losing two important wickets for just 19 runs. Trent Boult took both wickets. It is going to be very difficult for Australia to win this match. If the duo of Warner and Labuschange doesn't last, Australia is definitely going to lose this match. Because, New Zealand's bowling line-up is now very strong.

It is obvious that Neymar is a great player. However, it is also obvious that big teams are not going to be interested in signing him. They are concerned that if they get Neymar now, they will not be sure if they will get a good deal from the player as well as if the player will be able to perform well for them!
On the other hand, Neymar can also perform well under pressure. It is still a great pleasure to watch him play. The only question now is whether he will be able to continue his good performance on the new team as he did before? Furthermore, if a team gets Neymar right now, they will also have to keep in mind that in order to get him, they will have to pay him a very good amount of salary. My thought is that if any team is willing to pay that much salary, then they have other better options, younger and better, that they have the option to choose from.
Apart from that, money is indeed a problem because to this day salary issues have always been an obstacle to reaching an agreement with this player.
He is still very good in terms of performance but indeed in this kind of thing it is quite difficult when no one dares to bring him.
Another problem may be his selfish nature which is still visible during his time at PSG and this will obviously be another obstacle in my opinion.
Neymar is very likely to stay at PSG until his contract expires, because as you said apart from Neymar's very high salary, Neymar's selfish behavior is
a consideration for other clubs not to sign Neymar. We must remember that football is a game that relies on teamwork, so if there are players who
are selfish, it could damage the harmony of a team. That's why Chelsea, who have strong finances and desperately need a striker, were never interested
in signing Neymar. Chelsea only tried to bring in Lewandowski and Ronaldo, unfortunately Lewandowski was more interested in joining Barcelona.
While Tuchel did not like the game from Ronaldo. So in the end Chelsea decided to sign Aubameyang.

I feel that the only time I have not seen Neymar being selfish was during his time at Barcelona. And the best form of Neymar was in the days when Messi, Neymar, and Suarez had been playing alongside each other. But after that Neymar went to PSG and his performance started to decline gradually. It has always been a problem for him to fit into PSG, and this has never changed. I do not think any team is going to want Neymar to be part of their team at this moment. It is because of Neymar that there are a lot of problems associated with him. And once those problems get started in the team, it is really hard to fix those. As a result, I believe that Neymar is going to end up staying on the team in the long run. Especially because no team is going to agree to give him this much salary.

After end of third day now India is leading by 92 runs with six wickets remaining and most chances they are going to play until their last man standing because last day and have no chance of result mean give some rest to your bowlers and having some good batting practice is surely going to work for them in coming matches.
Rajat Patidar going for improve his personal best as right now staying at 170 and Tilak Varma is also going for his maiden century which is good opportunity for these both youngsters already have 167 runs partnership.
India A declared there first innings after getting lead of 171 runs. Tilak Varma was able to score his maiden test century. In reply NewZealand A are 98 for loss for 2 wickets. We have only 4 session of play left and most probably this match will end in a draw.
There were just two sessions left in this match after India declare their inning and in these two sessions we have 60 overs which were not enough for bowled out New Zealand and match as expected ends in a draw even this was unofficial test match but still they need to bring some supporting pitches for these type matches which give better environment to youths for preparing because these pitches are not going to help just waste of time and energy.
As right now, India is having enough funds for their all formats they need to do better things for their youth power which is going to be big income way for them in near future IPL and is nursery with this they can do more revolutionary changes which will increase quality in this game.

Right now, I think that all teams are placing a greater emphasis on the national team than they are on the youth teams. If you look at it from an economical standpoint, it should actually be going on in this way. But India is generating more revenue than any other in cricket. So, I think that they can certainly afford to give the youth team a lot more money than they are giving them at the moment. There is no doubt that the future will be brighter if the pipeline is strong, and they should have realized this by now. As well as that, young players should be given an opportunity to prove themselves as well.

Neymar is a really great player, as is Mbappe, but their vanities are huge and it is obvious that the PSG team can't have two leaders.
PSG tried to elegantly solve this problem and get rid of Neymar, but they failed because other clubs know very well what they get with Neymar, as an additional package.
PSG has a great and very expensive team, but if they don't solve the problem between Mbappe and Neymar, they won't fulfill their main goal again, winning the Champions League.
I would not call this a problem between Neymar and Mbappe (although formally it is), the main problem is Mbappe, who fell ill with star disease and requires special attitude and additional privileges. PSG bosses themselves are to blame for this situation, since in any top club (and especially in such a money bag as PSG) there will always be more than 1 star, which means you need to select players so that they can work together without conflict.

It is obvious that Neymar is a great player. However, it is also obvious that big teams are not going to be interested in signing him. They are concerned that if they get Neymar now, they will not be sure if they will get a good deal from the player as well as if the player will be able to perform well for them!

I can't understand why Solana is still at the top, when it's been a victim of constant network outages and hacks.
As long as it has the support of the VCs, it is not going to lose its position.
The biggest VCs behind Solana are investment fund Alameda Research and exchange FTX, both owned by Sam Bankman-Fried.
Quote
the project's developers still haven't solved the outage issue, so why would you use Solana when there are far better blockchain networks which focus on security and reliability (eg: Cardano and Ethereum)?

Solan is the best in terms of transaction speed and fee. The only issue is that the security of their blockchain is very poor, if the team fix it then i believe it will beat cardano in market cap

If you compare it to cardano and ethereum in terms of gas fees and transaction speed, it can be said that the solana network is at the top of the list. But really, apart from the speed and cheap transaction fees, I find Solana nothing outstanding compared to the other 2 coins. Solana has omitted the element of decentralization and security in exchange for speed and gas fees, so it is considered the most centralized and least secure layer1 project.
1553  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best way to claim ETH fork on: September 04, 2022, 02:32:14 PM
Can someone please share me the best exchange to claim free Ethereum forks? I am used to binance only but rumour has it that when it comes to fork binance takes too much time, sometimes up to a week or two, any other exchange that supports this fork?

Binance does support a possible fork, but does not promise listing of a new coin on the exchange. The fork and listing of ETH PoW is currently supported by exchanges such as Poloniex, Huobi, Gate, Bitmex, OKX and Mexc. This list is not final and it is possible that other exchanges will be added to it before the merger.

I think you are mistaken here, binance has announced that they will support for post merge ethereum fork. Supporting and listing a new coin does not affect them as they are just an intermediary providing services.


Binance is known for supporting all kinds of fork coins during the hard fork of blockchain. They are the most reliable centralized exchange when it comes on handling hard fork because they always support fork for there user conveniency. It’s better for a user that has low knowledge on fork to leave his token on Binance rather than put his money at risk on handling the fork token alone since we don’t know exactly what’s the procedure while Binance has a top rate developer that doing this job for there customers.

I’m not suggesting that leaving tokens on exchange is good. I’m just suggesting that it’s much better rather than make the completely newbie user DIY on this kind of things that might put his asset at risk.
Indeed, binance is the top exchange we have at the moment so it is futile to look for an alternative. In situations like this, I still recommend everyone to keep assets on top exchanges to avoid unnecessary fork problems. Storing assets on a centralized exchange is not recommended, but short-term use should be fine.

BTC won't survive in 2022
I've heard this saying countless times since I got to know bitcoin, bitcoin always dies every time it drops and the bitcoin bubble will soon burst when it makes a new ATH...Keep spreading it, your efforts will be appreciated because people will realize that bitcoin will always stand even if thousands of bitcoin sayings are dead.

Why use bitcoin when there are more promising cryptocurrencies? XRP, Monero or BSV for example

XRP is very fast, Monero is true anonymous,  BSV is very cheapest, green, energy efficient & profitable
Before asking this question, you should find out why people choose bitcoin over other altcoins. If all of them are as good as you say then why people don't choose them but choose bitcoin, companies, organizations even countries they choose bitcoin over altcoins.

Why 10k? That would have to completely nullify what chart analysts were tracing for the last 10 years. No tech adoption curve, no regression curves, no 200 week ma lows, no lengthening cycles, and so on. In 2023 we'll be just a few months before the next halving and you expect the price to literally halve as well?

I don't feel like the US FED can keep tightening for another year. If they do they will crash the stock market and start a recession, which means unemployment and bankruptcies and this means less taxes paid. They can't do it.



With the recent Fed meeting, it seems that they are being very tough on their decision, they think it will even cause pain for the US economy and the world economy. Their only goal is to do everything to bring the inflation rate to 2%, commodity prices will fall, that is the only goal they are pursuing.

The probability of the next rate hike will be 75 basis points and this will really cause financial markets to continue witnessing a strong wobble. Bitcoin dumping $10k is possible with the harsh policies of the Fed.

Fiorentina vs Juventus

I am looking forward to watching Fiorentina vs Juventus match. Juventus' performance may not be as good as expected. But Fiorentina is in poorer form. They have lost points in their last 3 matches. Fiorentina's team is not weak, but they are not able to play well. Against Juventus maybe they will fight for points, but I am not sure if they will win.
This is in Fiorentina's home match. At home, Fiorentina is slightly stronger. Fiorentina won 2-0 in their last home match against Juventus. So it is expected that the match will be competitive

Messi has changed his style and in this seaskn, he has adapted better in PSG squad but personally he changed the way he shots. Messi now does not shot with too much power but he tries to shot at corners and with more difficulty for goalkeepers to save his finishes.

Messi has completely changed his style of play. Looking at his gameplay now, he seems to be primarily a midfielder. And he is more comfortable assisting than scoring. He may not be able to score too many goals playing in such a style, but PSG will benefit greatly from it. And PSG's overall gameplay will improve further. Mbappe and Neymar will have more chances to score. However, Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are world-class players in all three. If the bonding between them is good and their relationship is friendly, then they will be able to perform better together.

With today match looking ICC needs some good changes in their system because they are doing nothing and quality gap is widening day by day after today match now I am also feeling they need to do some good changes for better entertainment and bring promotion-relegation system which will help for improving quality in test matches they need to have six teams at top and other six in second tire in ODI they need to have ten teams in A and nearly seven or eight in tire B same apply in T20 with twelve teams in tire A and rest in tire B because with this we can expect some better quality and entertaining which is also good for spread this game with matches like today nothing positive can happen even more frustration for fans and lost of media is also occurring which is not good.
I would rather place 6-7 teams in the top tier and same number of teams in the second tier. But then, it won't be acceptable for teams such as Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, who will be relegated to the second tier. So as of now, there is no solution available which is acceptable for all the parties. And with the gap between top teams and the lower ranked teams widening, the issue of lop-sided matches will be raised more often in the future. Increased fund allocation from the ICC would not achieve anything, as seen from the case with Zimbabwe.

I think placing four teams in each tier is going to be the best decision. Because every team is going to be in the rightful place and also going to try to improve. But that is going to make the smaller and associate teams feel like outcasts. And if 6/7 teams are in a tier I think there will be more teams very interested in cricket. Suppose Bangladesh or Sri Lanka is not in the top six, they will work very hard to get promoted up to the top six positions. And the associate nations are probably going to be in the Third tier and that is going to be interesting for them.

Lewandowsky and Benzema are players who are still productive even though they are 34 years old I think they are old but they can still score more goals in LaLiga and Benzema has carved out a lot of his name, old age is no longer an obstacle for him the most important thing is a big club like Real Madrid and Barcelona still want him to keep playing at their respective clubs to be a great competitor.
You need to understand that old age never becomes an obstacle for skilled/quality players. Benzema and Lewa are experienced and skilled strikers, they know well how to score and execute every goal opportunity. That's why both players are the mainstay player or machine goals, both for Real Madrid and Barcelona. Sure, they will score more in La Liga, I am optimistic that the scorer this season should be Lewa or Benzema.
I think if he is concerned about the performance of the game for players who have an old age it is very reasonable because logically as age grows, the energy they have decreases, if you imagine when the player is aged 20-25 then it is very different, because that age has performance the good one.

Players become more skilled and experienced as they age. There is no doubt about it. But what players start to lose as they age, is speed. And in a game like a football, speed is essential. Lewandowski and Benzema can still perform well because their fitness is still good enough. But gradually their performance will be slow. Experienced players like them may not be in the squads of Real Madrid and Barcelona. But if the main player of the team has low speed, he will not be able to adapt well to the rest of the team. Its bad effect will be seen in the overall performance of the team.
