Yeah, with current situation and form most chances Bayern Munich is the winner of this trophy, but we have 9 rounds left after this which are surely going to be had good entertainment for the fans with Bayern Munich is having Champions League challenge as well, but Borussia Dortmund is now having just one task which is Bundesliga title which also have big below after draw against Schalke in last round but in this game we will expect upsets so any poor result can bring good entertainment for the fans in this league.
Now, Bayern Munich is going to face Bayer Leverkusen at BayArena which is surely easy game for them but with the current form we can expect good resistance from the home side as Alonso is doing good job after taking this job and bring from relegation zone to 9th with place in Europa Cup quarter-final is also big achievement hopefully things could be tough for them teams in tomorrow match.
Borussia beat Cologne very confidently, and it seems that the merit in such a big defeat is not only Borussia because they made 8 shots on target, it's also a matter of poor defense of Cologne, which missed everything that flew in their direction.
Whether Bayern can beat Bayer today, probably, but the match will not be easy. Bayer is not the same as it was at the beginning of the season, it seems that their game is getting better, so today it can be an interesting match, especially since Borussia are back in first place and this will stimulate Bayern to win.

I think Bayern Munich is not going to lose this match today. And after winning this match, they are going to get themselves placed in the first position again.

Dortmund should have been the winner of the match before last match. This was the only way they were going to challenge Bayern Munich for the title. But they could not get a win in that match. That puts them in a very big disadvantage. Now after Bayern Munich wins today's match and also beats Dortmund in the next match, I think they are going to reign supreme in the league.

The last match of Dortmund was really good though. Dortmund won the match without too much problems.

WPL has only 5 teams and considering the performance of each team it seems the most probable teams to qualify for the finals of MI and DC. This is why you need 8 teams. An even figure gives more competition if you understand the calculation. When you have a group in odd figures it will always end up like the way this first season would end. BCCI should make WPL more competitive rather than controlled by a few teams.
BCCI should also start extensive ways to get more talent. After watching this season of WPL, I feel women's cricket in India needs a lot of improvement in the grass root level. I never imagined Indian women cricketers are struggling to bowl and field like overseas players.
It's the first edition of WPL and the learning curve for the officials and franchises, now they have tested the water and from now on all focus would be on skill development. All franchises will also do BCCI's bidding for obvious reasons, similar to Men's IPL scouting, camp etc so give it a couple of more years. These things take time for sure but it'll happen eventually.

Personally, I do not think women's IPL is going to do as well as men's IPL. Doesn't matter how hard or for how long they try. I am saying that because we can easily take the example of women's NBA.

A country where the feminist revolution is at its peak and women can get a lot of rights that even men don't have. For a long period of time, women's NBA is not generating money. They have to take money from men's NBA and health women's NBA continue. I am not saying that women's IPL is impossible to generate profit. I am saying it is going to be a thousand times harder compared to men's IPL.

Bangladesh vs Ireland
The match will be started after one hour. This is the first ODI match between these two teams. Bangladesh team is looking little bit stronger in this match. But we can't underestimate the Ireland team because this team can also surprise us. By the way I am in the favor of Bangladesh team. But no one can predict correctly at this time. And this match will be interesting.
The match has already started  and it's seem Ireland's bowlers put under pressure the Batman's of Bangladesh team. Bangladesh is batting now and they take 110 runs in 22 overs and they loose their big three wickets. Their current Runrate is now 5. Bangladesh played under pressure after taking Tamim Iqbal's first wicket although their run rate was still not too bad. Shakib al hassan still on pitch if he gets his form I think Bnagladesh could set a nice target for Ireland.
Ireland players are doing good in Fielding and bowling. Still I think the game is unpredictable, maybe it is still based on shakib al hassan who is going to win today's match. I am not placing any bet currently, because even the Bangladesh team is more stronger than Ireland team , the Ireland team is doing good currently.

Bangladesh got a huge total of 338. That is certainly a huge total for Ireland to chase down. But it still honestly hurts me to see the failure of Bangladesh's opening pair. If they cannot perform well against a team like Ireland, it is not out that they are going to fail against bigger opponents. I am quite sure that Ireland is not going to be able to chase down this target successfully. After all the Bangladeshi bowling lineup is far better compared to Ireland's bowling lineup.

I do not think this game is unpredictable anymore now. Bangladesh should be able to come out as the victorious team in this match.

Although I can't predict the next 18 years later, but just don't put a lot hope if the Bitcoin price now and the next 18 years would be really so difference where at the first time Bitcoin is only worth for less than cent and now it's already $25K. Bitcoin price might touch $1 after the next 18 years because anything is possible, it's also possible the price will be sky rocketed, but I not really think the ROI is really so huge.
Thinking how volatile and unpredictable bitcoin is, it’s good to invest but never hold guarantees that bitcoin will definitely boom in the next 18 years, you will only be frustrated if you put high hopes on that. Just invest with your spare money, money that are not intended to supply the needs of your baby. While your idea is great, but always invest at your own risk. Bitcoin will never have a fixed value, so always be open that the price could go up pumping or might drop its value and face a sharp decline.

There's nothing wrong with investing in bitcoin and setting expectations on it, but you're right, don't be too subjective and put all your hopes on it. Bitcoin is still a volatile and risky asset, so when investing, in addition to thinking about profit, we should also consider the case that bitcoin will disappear in the future.

I'm not opposed to accumulating bitcoin for our children, but like investing, I think we should diversify our savings rather than focus on a single asset. Savings can include many other assets like bitcoin, gold, or stocks… we have the right to diversify, no one forces us to focus on just 1.
1185  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is a treasure. on: March 18, 2023, 09:31:19 AM

But if someone may ask you, what do you call BITCOIN?
If Bitcoin is said to be a “treasure” it has a deeper meaning because it is in limited supply and difficult to obtain, similar to how treasure is a rare and valuable item.

In my opinion, why do many people like using Bitcoin as an investment because as a form of digital currency it has potential and can be used as an investment opportunity in the future, but what must be considered is that its value can fluctuate at any time.
I would guess that using it as currency is something most people feel terrible about because we know that it is something that will gain a lot of value and that means if we spend it then we are going to end up being sad about it when the time comes and it doesn't really look like we have enough like we used to.

So, if I spend 1 bitcoin at 25k+ right now and buy a car, then when the price becomes 100k per bitcoin then I would be upset because I could have bought 4 cars with it, that is the sad part about it. This is why I believe that we shouldn't have done this, it was a bad choice and we should have avoided that as long as we possibly could and that is why people don't spend it too much.

It is true, the original purpose of bitcoin was not created as an investment, but today it is and is considered an investment rather than a currency or a method of payment. I know some people want to turn bitcoin into a currency rather than an investment, but this is very difficult. Honestly, I also don't want to spend my bitcoins during this period, I just want to accumulate as much as possible because I believe the value of bitcoins will be huge in the future. It would be really wasteful to use bitcoin as currency and spend it on our daily expenses.

hello, all my friends... now the price of bitcoin has increased quite a lot... and now bitcoin is in the range of 27000.
but I want to ask do you think the price of bitcoin will continue to rise until it reaches 50000 or not... ?I want to hear it from all of you...
and if I sell my bitcoin now I'm afraid the price of bitcoin will fly even higher... I want to hear your opinion...?

If you are asking for the long term, then of course, bitcoin will hit $50k, and moreover, it can generate new ATH. But if you ask short term this year, no one can predict and give you an exact answer. When it comes to investing, have a plan that includes specific buying and selling goals or only selling at a profit. You can't invest without any plan, don't invest according to anyone's advice but do your own research and make your own decision.

Even if Virat Kohli plays badly in this match India will easily win the match Rahul scored 68 runs alone and he is still playing. India need only 16 runs in 13 overs which is not a difficult task for India to complete and an easy task for any cricket team not just India.  India still have 5 wickets left so there is no doubt that India is going to win the match. However, compared to India, Australia had a much better run rate but they could not hold on to their wickets and all the wickets were lost in just 35 overs.
India will want to become champions at their venue in the upcoming ODI world cup. They will try to play each ODI match with more importance especially with the Australian team because Australia is the only big opponent for them in that tournament.However, India won today's match but their top order was broken. The match was secured from the middle order. Top order lost 3 wickets bu LBW. Anyway, there are two more matches left in the 3-match series, let's see who can dominate the series.

India played really well in this match. I expected a far better performance from Australia. Anyway, India was also in a bad spot at a certain moment. India got saved by KL Rahul and Jadeja. Otherwise, the Indian team was going to suffer a lot.

The bowling performance of India was absolutely unbelievable in this match.
Actually, the track was heavily in favor of the bowlers. The way India has started this series, I believe they should be able to win. Now let's see how Australia is going to approach the next match.

The Gujarat team played well. They still have the potential to finish third or second in the table.
Third is completely possible while second seems like a stretch since they won their recent match against DC primarily thanks to luck. Capsey and Kapp run outs turned the match in their favor.
Am not expecting such stuff to repeat which is why DC is the most likely contender for the second position.

Gujarat Giants had a good performance overall. I honestly did not think that this score was going to be enough. But in the end, there were able to perform well on the bowling side.

Also. I think they understood that this score was not going to be enough if the DC had wickets in hand. So they did the right thing. Even if we look at the score now after the match has ended, I think we can say that they were actually going to lose if DC had wickets in hand.

As a player, Xavi has been able to win the UCL trophy for Barcelona, but as a coach, Xavi still needs time to understand the character of the opponent's game which they are not only plays in Spain, Barcelona will play against the best teams from all over Europe. If Xavi's capabilities can reach the implementation of this strategy, I belive Xavi can win UCL or UEL trophies. But Xavi need to know oppenents weaknes or players movements from their opponent that play outside the Spanish club doesn't grow-up, maybe his fate will be the same as that of PSG, there are lots of quality players but getting to the final round is difficult.
Of course it wasn't easy for Xavi when he was shown to be Barcelona coach. The condition of the team upon his arrival was disastrous from many sides. But in his second season with the Blaugrana Xavi was able to show his quality. Even though he failed in the Champions League, Xavi was able to restore Barcelona's prestige which had faded during the Koeman era. This season Xavi has been able to present a Spanish Super Cup trophy and also has the opportunity to win La Liga and the Copa del Rey. I believe that if Barcelona don't have problems with the law and are financially stable, then Xavi will be able to say a lot in Europe in the future.
Agree, one of the obstacles that hinders Barcelona from developing better in Europe seems to be because Barcelona still has financial problems. If the problem is not financial, then the problem is with Xavi who may still not be able to implement a strategy and or make the right rotation when playing in Europe, both in the Champions League and also in the Europa League.
But I think this or the European tournament can be ruled out first because after all, with Xavi having managed to build Barcelona back to dominate the domestic league, I think that's good enough for Barcelona. Because indeed, of course it will be difficult to raise a team from chaos when the situation is not conducive.

As a coach, I think he needs more money as well. I understand that he is operating with Barcelona at a very difficult stage, but at the same time, I don't feel like he has actually been very restricted in terms of finance. He has been spending quite a lot compared to the situation Barcelona is in right now.

Of course, it is going to be better if he does get some more financial freedom. And to do better in the UEFA Champions League, I think it will take time. This team still has a lot of problems going on. It is still not very sure if Gavi is going to stay on the team or not right now. Barcelona looks really good to achieve the first target which is winning the La Liga title, they are improving.

Quote from: ILuckyGuyI
I didn't find Milan's performance against Salernitana good enough I'm afraid. There were still the same problems being seen clearly.
Leao wasted a few goal chances in this game and couldn't perform very well. There was a great bicycle kick by Giroud in the first half but it didn't end up by a goal. It would have been a great goal honestly. Still Giroud was the player to score for Milan later. But there were big issues in Milan defense at the same time. Salernitana were able to find some space there and the defense was making mistakes also. Finally one of them was punished by Salernitana. Dia was so comfortable before scoring the goal because there wasn't anyone marking him.
After this both teams found some important goal chances but the score still didn't change at the end. Origi could have scored the winning goal if his attempt wasn't saved by Ochoa impressively.
I think, Milan coach need to work hard in this period to improve the players so that they will be able to improve their points in their next match to be close to Napoli or inter in the Italian league competition table. Salernitana players demonstrated well in this match, because the way Milan players started the match made many people to believed that Milan will defeat Salernitana 1-3 but Salernitana never allow such opportunity to come to Milan than to used some new strategies to made the match draw 1-1. Milan and Roma are in a same points 47 which there is a hope for Milan to take over the second position in their next match to make their fans happy again.

If I am not wrong, this was the first time Salernitana got points from Milan in San Siro. I have to say the goalkeepers have been really great in this match from both teams. Otherwise, we could see a lot more goals in this match. Milan shouldn't have considered the goal in my opinion. Milan was not ready for the attack. When the attack happened, they also did not get back in time. Milan was actually going to lose this match in my opinion if it was not for their goalkeeper after Olivier Giroud made that big mistake in the midfield.
1191  Economy / Speculation / Re: The bitcoin pump on March 12 on: March 16, 2023, 08:35:08 AM
I don't trust this kind of price pump of bitcoin. Investors who are going to invest out of FOMO are falling into a trap. Bitcoin is still in the correction stage; it is still too early for an unexpected price increase. Within a few days, bitcoin will revert to its previous price of at least $21,000. No one should rush to rejoice the recent increase in the price of bitcoin. The bear market is still on

I agree that we are still in bear season, and with black swan events happening to the world economy, a bull season cannot be expected this year. But bitcoin has been rising from the bottom, and we don't need to be too cautious or pessimistic but take advantage of this period. Those who bought bitcoin for $15k last year made huge profits, and it's worth celebrating. In the long term, we need to be sober, but in the short time, this month, I think bitcoin will continue to bring joy to everyone; enjoy.

1192  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is ageing and old people part of bitcoin? on: March 16, 2023, 08:22:12 AM
The advantage of bitcoin is that it can be owned by people of any age - regardless of age or other factors. Yes, quite a few people are still conservative, but time forces such people to change. The convenience of mutual settlements with cryptocurrencies is becoming more and more obvious.

Only young people must change to catch up with life if they don't want to be left behind. As for those who are too old, they do not need to change, they have lived to the end of their lives without the existence of bitcoin and can also continue to live without it.

Everyone has opinions in life, don't say others are conservative when we're conservative. Once they don't like it, don't force them, if you speak ill of them when they don't change their opinion, then you are being conservative with your opinion. I also like older people to use bitcoin, but if it's too hard for them don't force them.
1193  Economy / Speculation / Re: Expectations for March?! on: March 16, 2023, 08:09:20 AM
We are still more than 2 weeks until the end of the month so there is still a chance for bitcoin to hit $25k this month. Although the world economy is still in a lot of turmoil with the collapse of two major US banks, it is also a good thing for bitcoin as people will realize that depositing money in a bank is not as safe as it is they think.
Saving money in a bank does not guarantee complete security, but a bank can still be a temporary place to save money before we use it for important things. And saving Bitcoin also has risks if you store it in the wrong place and don't really consider the security of a wallet. So these two things actually have their respective risks and levels of security which the owner must understand and know.
I agree with that, everything has its own level of risk, but at this point what we also have to understand is the possibility that something might happen.
if you save money in a bank there is no possibility of profit that we will get, while in Bitcoin it is very likely that this will happen if you look at the movement of Bitcoin prices over the past few years.
I think the risks that exist when saving money in Bitcoin are worth the possible benefits that will be obtained.

and for this March's hope for the price of Bitcoin I think it has been answered with what has happened in the last few days, it is the wish of many people where the price of Bitcoin has increased rapidly in the last 2 days.

Nothing is perfect, and why do we choose only 1 when we have the power to choose both? Diversification is essential.
I agree that when investing in bitcoin, the risks we trade for a return are fully commensurate, but consider emergencies if the investment goes wrong and you don't have the funds saved, you will be stuck. Even cause lifelong regret if it involves human life.
It would be unwise to invest all your assets in bitcoin with no savings and vice versa. We need both, both have their own duties, so we can't compare one to the other.
1194  Economy / Speculation / Re: 26k mark finally breached on: March 15, 2023, 10:40:38 AM
Bitcoin finally climbs 26k and it's definitely looking more like a bullish trend now as many new investors were worried from it massive drop from its 25k to around 19k in the month of March. For me am definitely praying for the price to drop more so I can buy as much bitcoin as I can but the dip always scares some investors but I say the dip is a good sign for me make more from the market as buying low and hodling till the prices go up is definitely more yielding.

What's your pick on this. Will March bring more great feats or a massive dip will be experienced after this pump.
yet the value remains the same and that is staying at 24k things that almost the same weeks ago when it broke the 25k and hoping it will go more bull but suddenly falls down to 19k again.
maybe this is the scenario we are going to see in the next couple of months , or maybe till halving?

I agree with you, this year is not a full recovery year for bitcoin, bitcoin will go up and down continuously, and that is good for short term investors. They can take advantage of buying low and selling high to make a profit. At the same time, it is beneficial for long-term investors who do not have too much money to invest once in bitcoin but can wait for bitcoin to adjust to a reasonable price to collect bitcoins. I also don't expect bitcoin to recover quickly, that would cost me the opportunity to accumulate low price bitcoins.
1195  Economy / Economics / Re: less risk or big profit? on: March 15, 2023, 10:20:18 AM
Investment will always be in line, the higher the risk, the higher the profit opportunity, and if the type of investment is low risk, such as stocks, property, gold or something else, then don't ever expect to get big profits, for me investing in types that are at high risk are better and have better opportunities to change our lives, if I already have assets of tens of millions of dollars then I will use a low-risk type of investment.
Very realistically, it can be said that those who are investing in cryptocurrencies are those who take risks in search of high returns. Honestly, I don't have enough money to invest in real estate, and crypto is my choice, I take risks to get higher and faster returns. But if one day I have enough money, I will also consider investing in less risky assets. Real estate is still the safest investment, I think everyone knows that, but unfortunately, it is not for small capital investors like us.

If comparing both Crypto and real estate about its risk real estate has a lower risk because the land and house you are selling is that value overtime is increasing but the risk on this is that you need to have maintenance if there are houses and also you need to pay tax, unlike bitcoin that we can say it is some sort of passive as you just hold it but it not the same with real estate that you can beautify it if it loses value. We have our own preference others want bitcoin and others want real estate.

Investing in bitcoin is also taxable, many countries already have regulations and taxes on people who invest in crypto unless you want to avoid taxes when investing in bitcoin. In my country, it's not very expensive to maintain the house, and you don't have to do it every year, we only do it every 5-7 years, and I think that's insignificant because it's where we live.
As I said, people choose to invest in bitcoin to make big profits, if bitcoin becomes more stable, I would love to know if people still invest a lot in bitcoin or not. Bitcoin's appeal remains its profitability, not its technology.

Everyone certainly wants a lot of wealth. so do lower and middle class people. they all continue to struggle to raise their standard of living to be higher, namely to become wealthy people. but everyone's career journey is always different. some are running smoothly and some are full of obstacles.

However, I think that to become wealthy, what we need to prepare is a strong mentality, high knowledge, not giving up easily and having the courage to take risks.
Taking risk is part of becoming rich.

You'll see how all of those rich people that have taken the biggest risk of their lives and they do understood that if what they're about to do becomes a failure, they just have to start somewhere else.

But with that big leap of faith, they've taken the risk and those that have become successful managed to reach their goal and made them rich. It may look as easy as it is but the real thing isn't, there's a ladder for success and you may take one step at a time.

Taking risks is not enough, you must have enough factors such as solid psychology, knowledge, and not give up before all difficulties...If you take a risk and invest in something you don't know what it is, you will never succeed, even if you risk a hundred times more. 

Success or becoming rich is an extremely arduous journey, sometimes we have applied it all, but there is no guarantee that we will succeed. But if we just wait for luck to come and do nothing, getting rich will never come to us.

RCB Women V DC Women

Batting against Delhi Women's team, RCB Women's team collected 150 runs in 20 overs. Is it enough to win? In the previous match of Delhi vs RCB, the Delhi Capital Women team set a huge target of 223 runs against the RCB bowlers. And the RCB women's team lost the match by 60 runs. RCB's bowling lineup is comparatively weak. So I would say the RCB women's team would have been in the safe zone if they gave more than 180 targets in today's match.

Still, RCB women's team has a chance to win if their bowlers can bowl well. However, Delhi's batting line-up is strong. In the last match to they won by 10 wickets against GG Women's team. So I think 151 runs is not enough to win against Delhi Women's team.

A target of 151 runs cannot be called a big target. I agree with what you mentioned that the Delhi Capitals Women's batting line-up is very strong. Delhi batsmen are in very good form now. But winning today's match will not be easy for Delhi Women's team.

After 9 overs, Delhi Capitals managed to collect 74 runs and they lost three wickets. They need 77 runs from 66 balls to win. They have to collect 7 runs in each over. So far the match is under the control of the Delhi Women's team. But if Delhi loses 2 more wickets, their chances of winning will decrease. Ellyse Perry remains unbeaten with 63 runs. If RCB can pick up Perry's wicket then the match will be competitive.

Haaland is enjoying a great season in England, the only thing that can possibly lure him away from Manchester City to Real Madrid is if he really wants to get better recognition and possibly win a Ballon d'or which is easier for player in Spain to win than players in the English league. Real Madrid must know this advantage that they have over Manchester City, it is why they are bold enough to even think it because in terms of every other thing Manchester City is the same with Real Madrid. If it just the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, Haaland can win it in Manchester City, If it is league title, Manchester City can win that too, if it to score goals, he is as assured goals in Manchester City as he will be in Real Madrid. The only advantage is the Ballon d'or.
In my opinion, Haaland playing style is not suitable when associated with Real Madrid. Because what Ancelotti needs is a player with ball possession skills as well as a leadership spirit and a hard worker where player who is able to have the quality and experience of Benzema. Meanwhile, what we saw from Haaland at Manchester City was only an executor who took advantage of bait in the penalty box. Haaland's skills haven't really stood out when it comes to possession or playing a leader on the field.

There is no doubt that the most outstanding thing about Haaland is his finishing. When it comes to finishing, I don't think any one will ever be able to come even close to what he can do.

In my opinion, that is one of the main reasons why I do not think he is the right candidate for Real Madrid at the moment.

There is no doubt that it will be better for Real Madrid if Mbappé is selected instead of Haaland as their replacement forward position.
It is because Mbappé can provide a lot more stability in the field instead of just being able to finish well whenever he plays.

This match was very competitive. It was not as boring as India vs Australia match. The match between India and Australia was very boring because the pitch was flat. The bowlers were not getting any advantage. But the pitch in Sri Lanka vs New Zealand match was very good. And the match turned out to be enjoyable.
The Sri Lankan bowlers bowled well in the second innings. But due to the responsible batting of Williamson and Daryl Mitchell, they could not win this match. Williamson scored 121 not out. And Mitchell's collection was 81 runs. However, Sri Lankan bowler Asitha Fernando bowled well in both innings. He was able to take 4 wickets in the first innings and 3 wickets in the second innings.
New Zealand required 257 runs on the last day and with 8 wickets remaining. My initial though t was it will be difficult to chase such target on the very last day of the match. Credit for this run chase goes to Kane Williamson
and Daryl Mitchell. They both have a partnership of 142 between them and this partnership comes at a time when Sri Lanka was sensing victory. New Zeland after losing the series to England now led the 2-match series 1-0

New Zealand could win the match because Kane Williamson was there till the end for them. And we also have to remember that it was the last session of the last day. Kane Williamson kept one side of the wicket protected. New Zealand had two very good individual scores from Kane Williamson and Mitchell in the last innings. It was actually a lot closer than what I thought it was going to be. Credit to Sri Lanka as well for actually being able to take the match so deep.
