At this point you are the creator and beneficiary of this token, what will you do?

Advertise it as a meme coin. You don't need to change the name, just change the website, make it look like one from 90s, make a catchy icon, give time creating the icon and have some 1minute doodles relating to the icon and write a whitepaper like a 10 year old kid. It don't need to prove anything. You don't even need tokenomics, just tell it's a memecoin. No one need to know when the token was issued. Have contest/giveaway in X (Twitter) where you reward 10 users with some of your tokens, it don't even have to be $10 worth. Run a bounty without value in dollars, just say you're soon going to be listed on a centralized exchange. Strike a partnership with another failing token and boast about it on x and on telegram.
162  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What's the best Altcoin for this moment to accumulate right now? on: June 03, 2024, 01:44:47 PM
I want to find a good Altcoin to invest in before the bull starts, also have a non-custodial exchange. This means, that we have complete control over our funds. If there is, please help convey it, because a lots of new altcoins was born every day.

If you want to go with both safe and profitable altcoin that would do at least x5 within a couple of years than your best choice is Solana. The coin itself is trading below $170 at the moment and on a proper bull run, if the coin doesn't shuts up, it would easily rise to around $1K. I recommend Solana for every type of investors.
But if you are willing to have some risk and look for more profit, memecoins is what you need to invest into. The safer option is to pick the popular ones like PEPE, Dogwifhat, Bonk, Shiba Inu, Floki, Bome, etc. and if you like more thrill, invest in newer meme coins like Maga, Bendoge, Turbo, etc.

2nd and 3rd matches of ICC T20 worldcup were played today and both matches results were as expected.

The match between Papua New Guinea and West Indies was the interesting one. It was the first match in West Indies, one of the host. West Indies was supposed to win it easily but Papua New Guinea gave a tough competition. PNG batting first scored a below average target of 139 with Sese Bau scoring a half century while other top order batsmen fail to perform well. The chase by West Indies too was troubled but they were able to reach the target with one over and 5 wickets remaining.

The match between Oman and Namibia took it to the super over. The game was a low scoring one. Oman was allout scoring 109, Namibia chasing a low target of 110 only scored 109 at the end of 20th over. On super over Namibia scored 21 runs while Oman following it only was able to score 10 runs giving Namibia the first win.

Best country to cash out less questions asked ?
~

My country seems neutral on this subject because as long as they saw your account has an active and large transaction seems they didnt care too much but if you are just a newly created account with their platform with no KYC possible your account will now get tagged. In my country, we are using a third-party application which is regulated with the banks that are supported USDT but the transaction fees are too high depending on the amount you deposited which is quite painful in our side too.

A few of the crypto millionaires I know have moved to Dubai for a safer environment to use crypto, cashout it, invest in business and real estate. Dubai has one of the lowest tax and very chill regulations that makes it an ideal place to live with crypto and if you are willing to stay a bit away from city center, Dubai is not as expensive place as many people believe. Dubai itself is a Emirate/country within the UAE and has its own laws. Other emirates are also trying to copy Dubai to bring more expats.
Crypto people also move to bangkok as crypto is widely accepted there and the place provides more fun for less money.

Pakistan Vs India

In this world cup we have the most precious content to discuss about the Pakistan vs India match. First of all, I would like to say that according to the pattern of the last matches, Pakistan would win this match but now have to see what is the pattern in T20.

It is a T20 pattern. As you can see in 2021, Pakistan won the match against India then in the 2022 Asia Cup India won the match against Pakistan but after Pakistan won the match once again, but also in the 2022 World Cup, India won the match once again so this is the time for Pakistan to win because one time India and one time Pakistan  Wink
I think No pattern is followed in T20 cricket if we gone into past india won 90% matches in world cup against pakistan. They faced pakistan 7 times in t20 world cup only once time in 2021 under babar azam captaincy Pakistan team beat india by 10 wickets for the first time in history and other six matches Indian team won so  strong team always won in t20 cricket its may be a little bit depends upon luck but in long term games like one day or test strong team always won. Indian team have much stronger in this world cup recently they beat Bangladesh in warm up match before Pakistan Match they will be played against Ireland so their rhythm will be good so its very difficult for Pakistan team to beat india

On the first match of the world cup, the host team USA had a win against team Canada. Both of these team are seen as the weaker team in Group A but both of them seem to have improved a lot. USA had won over multiple matches against Bangladesh and Canada had an huge win against Nepal in the warm ups. The game today was a high scoring one with Canada batting first gave USA a target of 194 with Navneet Dhaliwal and Nicholas Kirton both scoring a half century. The USA's follow up was even better with Aaron Jones individually making 94 out of 40 balls and Andries Gous scoring a half century. Group A is already a difficult group and these team can give a surprise to any teams.

Interesting events going on French Open today. World number one and the defending champion Novak Djokovich is struggling against Number 30 Lorenzo Musetti. They both have 1 set each and Musetti is looking to win the third. This could be either a surprise defeat for Novak Djokovich or a long match.
On another match today, Casper Ruud reached the third round defeating Tomas Martin Etcheverry in a 4 set contest. No 6 Andrey Rublev was defeated by No 35 Matteo Arnaldi while Daniil Medvedev is into the third round. Jannik Sinner had a straight set win against P Kotov to reach the round of 16.
168  Economy / Economics / Re: Labor is really the birth of happiness? on: June 01, 2024, 11:10:41 PM
As a child, textbooks and teachers have taught us that hard work begets good luck. That is, no one comes into the world with luck, everyone has to make their own luck. The more hardworking and the more serious he is towards his work, the more likely he is to succeed. But there are some people around who look at them and think this saying is not true. Around me, I see many such daily wage laborers, rickshaw pullers or agricultural laborers, who remain at the same position from which they started their life even at the end of their age. It's not like they don't work hard.  

A day laborer works for around 12 hours non-stop and in return they get a small amount of money which they spend in various ways. Here my question is why they are not able to change their fate after working so hard. In this case you may tell me that he is a daily wage laborer or he is a rickshaw driver that is why he is not progressing but he is focused on his workplace and he is working there with full focus so why is he not changing his fate. If a rickshaw driver or a day laborer wants to but cannot become a doctor or an engineer, he has to focus on his profession. What do you say about his change of fate?

There's no 100% correct answer to it but in ideal economy daily wagers should earn more than white collar job holders. That makes the sense for the extra physical effort they do. For my part of the world, daily wage labor earns more per day than a clerk at an office. But if the daily wage earner takes leaves equal to a clerk, their monthly income would be similar.
With the saturation of development work and use of automation and safety measures in physical job, the number of daily wage workers have decreased and the quality of their workplace has increased.
Furthermore there should not be Rickshaw pullers in modern times, the government should facilitate shift them to other jobs or get them a motorized rickshaw. Unless of course they are doing it to keep the vintage tradition alive, where they earn more than other jobs.

That's it. Real Madrid became the European champions for the 15th time. Twice more than any other team in Europe. They were also the deserving ones as they defeated almost all of great competitors to take the title. The toughest competitor they had to go through might have been Manchester City followed by Bayren Munich.
Dortmumd too is a great team and gave Real Madrid a good run for the money. They created equally great chances but Real Madrid were a better team on the field.
Real Madrid had to wait till 74th minute to score a goal from a heading of Dani Carvajal. Dortmund were emotional and a lag in their defense made them lose their possession and Vinicius Junior score an easy one on one goal in the 83rd minute. Bad luck for Dortmund who reached the finals after 11 years and again got restricted to runner ups.

In today's Bangladesh vs India match, India won the toss and went into bat, and they managed to make a good score in today's match. Comparatively, today's match, Bangladesh team managed to bowl well due to which India could not score 200 plus runs. However, the runs scored by India in today's match is enough for them to win, they have collected 182 runs losing only 5 wickets in this match. If in today's match, the Bangladesh team will not be able to perform well in the next innings, then the match will definitely be lost. But if the batsmen of Bangladesh team try their best to score good runs against India, then it will definitely be possible to win the match. Bangladesh team can bat well against India, so if they can bat well in today's match then they can hope to win. However, the bowling performance of the Indian team seems to be good, if the Bangladesh team loses wickets easily, India will win today's match.
Today was last warmup match played between Bangladesh vs India. India bat first and scored a challenging target of 182 runs for Bangladesh. Indian batsmen have scored huge 183 target to Bangladesh. Bangladesh team lost half of his wickets by scoring 42 runs and they needed 137 runs from remaining ten overs. i don't think Bangladesh will chase ths target they lost by heavy margin from india team

Yes, Bangladesh team is going to lose by a big margin against India in today's match. Bangladesh team's batting in today's match looks like it will surrender easily to Indian bowlers. The bowlers of the Indian team put the batsmen of the Bangladesh team under a lot of pressure. The batsmen of the Bangladesh team are struggling to play the balls of the bowlers of the Indian team. Such bad performance of Bangladesh team is not expected at all by Bangladesh fans. But I am very happy with this match because I am going to win today's match bet.

A defeat of Bangladesh against India was expected but this one was a humiliating one. India won the toss and called to bat first. All of the playing top order batsmen except Sanju Samson played well. They maintained a run rate above 9 and gave an above average target of 183 for Bangladesh. A target of 183 was already a difficult task for Bangladesh against India. Bangladesh kept losing wicket from the first over. If not for Mahmudullah's 40, it would have been more humiliating. Bangladesh played the whole 20 overs but scored only 120 at the loss of 9 wickets. They lost against India by 62 runs.
It's a warm up match and Bangladesh is not going to play against India anytime soon but the group D matches are going to be interesting.
171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Kicking/banning and or limiting a player for winning too much on: June 01, 2024, 02:05:30 PM
Just winning should never be a reason for limiting user from betting on a casino. A legit casino would never do that. A probability is, the casino might have restricted the account to $10 in order to investigate previous wins which might have been suspicious and on that time, the user created a second account to carry on with betting. A second account from the same person is forbidden in many casinos and even on the casinos that allow multiple accounts, they'll not let you do that if your account is under investigation. It's unprofessional to make the user wait a year for giving back the deposited money. Maybe its taking more time to investigate but it don't take a year to find if a user is cheating or not.
172  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Banks are used for criminals, will governments ban banks? on: June 01, 2024, 11:35:16 AM
Banks do process the money from crimes and criminals and banks are the largest and legitimate money launderers. The reason why this happens is the government who are in control of these banks are directly involved or the people involved are in protection of the government. Sometimes the people that do these crimes or protect the criminals and controls these banks are even more powerful than the government and are generally called deep state.
Government if wants and if are sovereign can always penalize or prohibit banks form doing illegal transactions and if they are not, either the government are not sovereign enough or are themselves the criminals or are operated by criminals.

We learn from our mistakes. My personal highest rage betting was over three years ago. At that time not only did I rage bet my gambling budget but also all my crypto holdings and my bank savings, all within a span of a few hours and lost all. That was the saddest day in my life and I was not able to gaps the reality for days.
For three years I have been disciplined enough not to rage bet huge amounts. I surely went through some rage bets but I was able to control my emotions and didn't deposited more than I can afford to or want to lose.
Not only on betting amount, the learning can also be in betting strategy and different betting options. In sports betting we learn to read the useful stats to analyze the probable results. The more we do it the better we get. The same can be said for poker which is a game of both luck and mind.

These are warm up matches and ICC Men World Cup ye to begin. And you said you picked India as your favourite team so this is a good choice by the way. And India team is much stronger as compare to Bangladesh team and we know that India has much practice because they recently hosted an IPL and BCCI selected best players from them. And now they will play the T20I World Cup. So in today match I hope India will win this match easily. These are warp up Matches so India can give a loose point but in World Cup I don't think so they will make any mistake. So let's wait for the Match and also for the World Cup.
I agree with your view that India has stronger team compared to Bangladesh and their recent IPL experience will definitely give them an edge. However as you mentioned it is important to remember that warm up matches can be unpredictable and teams often experiment with their lineups and strategies. While India is likely to win today match Bangladesh might still put up good fight. In World Cup India will definitely be strong contender but they can't afford to take any team lightly. Let's enjoy the match today and look forward to the exciting matches ahead in the T20I World Cup.

Teams certainly takes warm up match with ease but the performance of Bangladesh team hadn't been any better before the warm ups and it would be hard for them to qualify for the Super 8s. South Africa seems to be the better team on that group followed by Sri Lanka and both Netherlands and Nepal would be willing and are capable of securing some wins. It would be a tough contest for Bangladesh where they have to play well against every teams and there are no chances of error. India on the other hand is on an easier group, no group would be difficult for them but they are not placed with other good teams like Australia, England, West Indies and New zealand.
175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: May 31, 2024, 09:15:40 PM
This is definitely interesting for any country to be in the great tournaments and especially a tournament like the World Cup but talking about the Asian countries this can be more challenging for them because in Asia there are more countries and fewer tickets for the World Cup and this makes all countries to have more interesting competition for being in the world cup.
However, some teams there like South Korea, Japan, and Iran are usually the teams we are waiting to see in the World Cup. but for other teams, this can be much harder to race for the World Cup.

Next time (in 2026), there will be more representation from both Asia and Africa. So apart from the usual attendees like South Korea, Japan and Iran, there maybe a few surprises. United Arab Emirates and Iraq are two teams who may qualify for 2026. Then there are a few other promising teams out there, such as Uzbekistan, Jordan and Vietnam. And I would love to see China participating in the tournament, because they are the most populous nation in the world (for that reason, India as well).

There are many more countries in Asia and that's why I think they should get more tickets for the World Cup. However they are not strong like the European teams and maybe that's why FIFA decided to give them more chances and more tickets, otherwise, I think Asia could get more slots. However I think many of the top Asian teams like South Korea, Japan, and Iran will not surprise us after being in the 2026 World Cup but after the development they had in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, I think this time we are going to see more, and better Arabian countries in the 2026 World Cup.  

Middle east has always been a great force in football in AFC region. Saudi Arabia actually is in the top position in reaching finals of Asia cup tied with South Korea but having more titles that South Korea which is again the 2nd position tied with Iran. Iran is a much older footballing nation with it's population totally crazy about football. Qatar too is not a new team but their performance has increased only recently after huge state investment.
AFCs have 8 slots for the 2026 world cup and currently the AFCs top teams are represented by Japan, South Korea and Australia in the east and Saudi, Iran, Iraq and Qatar in the middle east.  They'd most probably be allocated the slots, the remaining one could be UAE.
176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 31, 2024, 08:56:45 PM
Manchester City has a good team and the only thing they will need to do for the next season is to mostly have stability and have their current players and coaches for the next season to get the same good results in the next season. But since Manchester City is going to keep Guardiola in the team I think the chance for the other teams is not high.
However, Arsenal is trying to still get improve and maybe they can finally beat Manchester City in the Premier League after years of losing this race against Manchester City.
keeping Guardiola won't give Man City a big problem and if you know, actually this season isn't that bad and it often happens to other teams, but the fact that Man City can still get the EPL title even though they lost the UCL title doesn't mean that Man City performance has decreased and it doesn't mean that Guardiola failure.
Indeed, every team must continue to regenerate players or coaches, but if everything is fine, there is certainly no need to replace the existing coach and on the one hand, Guardiola is still very capable of continuing to maintain his achievements in dominating the EPL and will not give Arsenal any opportunities.
meanwhile, if you look deeper, Man City actually doesn't need a new coach, but this team needs several new players to strengthen each line and maybe having quality reserve players would be better in case one of the players gets injured because Haaland had an injury and a few You have to be careful to get quality reserve players.

while the comparison between Man City and Arsenal is actually very different and Arsenal always have difficulty in overcoming consistent problems, whereas to win the EPL title you have to be able to maintain consistency until the end of the season and you'll see when the next season starts, you will definitely see Arsenal performing well in the start of the season but after that they lost consistency when the UCL matches started, Arsenal will definitely be busy in the UCL matches and not focus on maintaining consistency in the EPL.

This season's premier league title was a close contest. Another bad performance of City was the loss at home ground against Real Madrid in Champions league. City were the defending champion for both the premier league title and Champions league title. There's room for City to improved and if they don't they might lose the Premier league title next season. One of the problem with City is their dependence to Haaland. He's a great player but they should have better option when he is not able to play.
Pep Guardiola is a good manager and he knows what he needs. Manchester City do have money, if they buy a few good players in market and settle the accusations with some money or diplomacy, no one is stopping them from premier league title next season.

Everybody waiting for fed rate cut like new hope.
A lot people will fomo in to used cars and real estate market.
But the estimated real bull market for real estate and cars will be about 2027-2028.
Until then will be very volatile market (long. wicks short wicks) a lot real estate investors and car dealers will be liqutated out of business.
If real estate will be on chart then we are at "deadcat bounce" now

Now it's very difficult to understood because assets will not move correlated together.
We gona see one of the biggest shake out + liqutation of capital.
Cars specially used cars + real estate+bond market+sp500 Will be very volatile.
Now many people taking those assets for granted they are confident specially real estate and that's how many will lose money because all the guards are down.

Don't take my words as truth If you can't connect the same dots together in your own mind.

Nobody with a brain is dropping money into cars, unless your career is as a car dealership - this market is incredibly saturated and the margins are relatively thin in all areas. The longer you hold on to the car, you are in most cases guaranteed to lose money, unless you're talking about a very niche area where you hope certain cars become collectible. Property has historically and will in to the future always hold a good value, which is likely to appreciate too. However you need to be careful with real estate, because lots of people who buy at the top of the market can face 5-10 years before their asset comes back to the value they paid for it, if there is any sort of recession affecting house prices.
There's a looming problem with economics of car. The car business model was based on ever increasing demand on cars as people who never had a car kept buying cars new or second hand. Rich people getting new cars could easily sell their old ones. But there were two changes on this economics once. With the decrease in rate of population increase and decrease in population on large car markets like China and Japan, the demand for new cars are low. As the popularity of Electric cars increased, more people jumped to electric and there are less demand for new and used ICE cars. And with many countries focusing on public transport and penalizing cars wit tax, car is already a saturated market. Similar thing is happening with Iphones.

There's a little we can do to make this planet a liveable place and planting trees is an easier option. Deforestation is still an issue in Latin America and Africa where the population are still growing and the desire for more farmland and place to live are high. For saving tree, reducing the population increase is a must. Latin American population growth rate have decreased a lot but the growth in African countries have remained unchecked.
The countries that are planting more trees have population in check and are now focusing on quality of life for its population. China the largest tree planting nation by area has an already decreasing population. With afforestation they want to increase the quality of air and save farmlands and towns from turning into deserts. India also ranks high in planting trees as the population is in the phase of plateauing and they too are focusing on quality of life.
Cop 26 had been instrumental and securing a good future for forests as many countries pleaded to reverse deforestation by 2030.

I think UN organs have lessened the risk of chances of food and energy shortage this year. Both food and energy generation has increased at a higher rate than demand.
Last years European energy scarcity was scary but they struggled through the winter, this year they are better prepared. They might be paying more for the energy making de-industrializing them but it's the path take by themselves as choice. There are voices of change in Europe and with elections in many European nations, the new governments might work for a better future for Europe. There are also problems in some quickly increasing economy like India, whose 2/3rd energy comes from coal and struggles to generate much as rain makes the coal wet, these are seasonal problems and they are better prepared than last year. Renewables had been rising at unprecedented rate. Some forms not as dependable yet they largely reduces the use of fossil fuel for energy generation.

Two warm up matches for the T20 world cup today and both resulted in expected team winning it.
The match between Sri Lanka and Ireland could have been closer than the result if the Irish lower order batting had not collapsed. Sri Lanka batting first made 163 and Ireland chasing the target, lost 5 of their last wickets for just 14 runs.
Afghanistan and Scotland was too similar but Afghanistan won by a larger margin. Afganistan batting was led by Gulabdin Naib and Azmatullah Omarzai, other than them, the batting lineup had been disappointing. For Scotland chasing a target of 179, Mark Watt, a bowler was the highest scorer. 5 of its batsmen not reaching a double digit score.
