I don't want to offend, but I want to be blunt that people who say money isn't everything and can still be happy without money. It is because they are stuck with no way to earn more money, they hide from the truth and they accept their fate without finding a way. I also have a friend like that, many years ago he was quite poor compared to us, he always knew his peace and said that he did not need much money, just enough to live. But now, he has become well off, and he is so focused on making money that he doesn't have time to see us on weekends. No one doesn't want a lot of money, they just haven't found a way to make more money.

Many people want to become rich and have a lot of money but are lazy, do not dare to take risks, and always disparage the rich. Simply jealousy and envy, there is no one who does not want to live a rich life. The truth hurts, but I want to be frank.

Cricket already has a problem with rain interruption. It is not like football where we can keep on watching the players play even if it does rain. Unlike its counterpart, cricket's graceful play is inevitably halted when the heavens release their aqueous lamentations, I meant raining. That is already a big problem with one-day international cricket. And when it is a five-day test match, there is a big chance that the result of the match is going to be different when rain interrupts.  I think it is time for ICC to actually let go of test cricket. Instead of spending time and resources on test cricket, I think they really should spend those things for the t20 format. In this day and age, everyone wants to see the winning team have more skill compared to luck.

If both of you read carefully what OP wrote, he emphasized "never leave money in a bank" and as I understand it, he meant non-bank investments like gold, real estate, and stocks...But I will partially agree with you two that we shouldn't put a lot of money in the bank because it will only wear down our wealth. But that doesn't mean we will invest and not have any savings, life is full of surprises, so always have a small savings for that. And not depositing money in the bank does not mean that the bank will be useless, if we need to borrow money for business or something else, the bank will be where we need to go because no one will lend us money except banks.

To get happiness we not only need money but also love from family, people around, comfort in life...and many other factors, but if you don't have the money you can't be happy. If you don't have money, your wife can't wear beautiful clothes, no jewelry, your kids can't eat delicious food and are inferior to her friends...are you happy?

In business, a big boat will have big waves, although business comes with a lot of pressure and risks, it is the dream of many people including you. Between choosing to be an employee or a boss, I bet you no one wants to be an employee. You want to succeed, you need to make trade-offs, you want what others can't have, and you need to do what others can't do.

Well, Liverpool is definitely making some positive changes. They are trying to make the whole team made out of younger players. I know that the things which are happening currently in the marketplace. It is better to bring in potential players who are going to cost less for the club instead of bringing in players who are going to cost a huge amount of money. Because there is no certainty that that player who is going to cost a lot of money will actually perform well.

Well we can also say that Liverpool is very cheap. Otherwise they could have brought in expensive players. But anyway, I also like this move as well.

@xzone well he is only 20 years old. And he is certainly showing good potential. I have to say Barcelona is doing a good job with bringing in young players and old players which are not going to cost them too much money. Barcelona is certainly trying to make the squad a balanced one. I cannot say that they have already succeeded in doing that. Nonetheless, they diligently strive to optimize their meager funds, making prudent decisions for the betterment of the squad.

It will be pretty interesting to see where the goalkeeper is going to go. Between arsenal and Bayern Munich I don’t think it is a very hard choice for the goalkeeper. It will be better for him to go to Bayern Munich. There is a high chance that he’s going to be the main goalkeeper in that club. But Arsenal is looking for him to have a goalkeeper as a replacement for the main one. It is not impossible for a goalkeeper to actually get in June. So Arsenal is trying to have more options in hand.

But Bayern Munich is in genuine need of a goalkeeper. So going to Bayern Munich is going to be the best decision for him. At least so far it seems that way.

Although bitcoin is still not popular in being used as a payment method, I doubt that when it becomes a full-fledged payment method, will people use it? I mean, everyone knows the value of bitcoin will increase over time, and most of us want to hold or use bitcoin as a speculative tool. Very few people want to use or spend their bitcoin, so even if it becomes a payment method, I don't think people will use it.

People always make excuses that it's not legal yet so they can't use it to pay. But the main reason is that no one wants to squander a valuable asset, or frankly, we care more about bitcoin's profits than anything else it brings.

I am certainly hoping to see some good upset matches being made in this World Cup. remember when the last time a lot of teams competed in the World Cup? It was the 2007 ODI World Cup. And a lot of things that are really weak in power were actually able to beat some very powerful teams in the World Cup. So I am expecting something like that to happen in this World Cup as well. I am not saying every match is going to be competitive.

I think we all know that in any match that the USA team is going to play, it’s basically going to be a free win for The other team. But it will certainly be interesting if a team like Scotland or some associate team actually ends up beating a team like India or England. I also want to say that for a long time, we have been seeing not enough number of teams in the World Cup. At least that is being fixed. So let’s just not complain about it and see what happens.

Well actually, it is good to see the ICC at least making a World Cup with 20 teams. Personally, I concur with the notion that designating the United States as the host nation is truly their sole avenue for World Cup qualification. I think this World Cup is going to be played by 20 teams for two reasons.

First of all look who is getting a free pass to the World Cup. If it was anything less than 20 teams in the World Cup, a lot of teams were going to miss out who are actually far better than USA in cricket. I still think that somethings are better compared to the USA who are not playing in the World Cup, but that’s another story.

Secondly, the World Cup is being played in the USA. So making the World Cup more competitive and one of the biggest is certainly going to bring in a good amount of money.

And then what happens next? I mean, when your child learns that bitcoin can also be used as fiat that can be used to buy goods, candy, toys...And you will show them how to use bitcoin and show them how to invest in bitcoin when they are just giddy kids and like to watch cartoons? If your aim is just to let your kids know about the existence of bitcoin, you don't need to be so verbose and complicated. And if your goal is to get them to be bitcoin investors like you when they are too young, then I don't think you're a good father for forcing your children to accept things beyond their means.

If you get your salary in fiat you can also do this easily and quickly, and I don't think have too much of a difference between the two. You can also convert your fiat salary to bitcoin immediately upon receipt and the rest to spend.

This is the downside and also the reason I wouldn't support it. Our daily lives are tied to fiat and it would be inconvenient if our wages were bitcoin and its volatility.

I would support if it was a side job and paying in bitcoin could be a great idea. But if it's our main job and we need to use that paycheck on a daily basis, then that's not as great as many people are saying.

With this news, we shouldn't expect it to create an immediate bull run or trigger a strong bull run. I mean, if we are speculating this is not the kind of news that we can take advantage of for profit, but if we are supporting the bitcoin revolution, we should be happy about this. Because from the early days bitcoin was suspected and hated but now things are changing for the better. Countries, organizations, businesses are gradually becoming bitcoin-friendly. This shows that the revolution named bitcoin is going smoothly and beyond expectations. As I said, I don't see any positive movement for bitcoin with this news, but in the long run, I believe it will have a positive impact on institutional and country adoption of bitcoin.

Well, what can you say? This is life. In the tournament, it should have been Juventus. But instead, they are just going to sit around and watch other teams participate in this tournament.

At the same time. I also believe that these are the reasons why Juventus is going to be fired up this season to perform better. It’s like they have something to prove to everyone. I hope they will be able to perform well end. Hopefully they will perform better compared to what they did in the last season. I am not saying that their performance was not good in the last season. But they will have to perform better in the season. They will have to at least finish in the top four.

If you're talking medium term $40,000 isn't really hard for bitcoin but in the short term I don't think so. And I also disagree with you or many opinions that the closer the halving is, the more the demand for bitcoin will increase and hence the price will increase. If you check the most recent halving in 2020, then before the halving, bitcoin was also heavily dumped and after the halving, bitcoin didn't increase in price immediately either. The bulls will only appear some time after the halving and if I'm not mistaken 1 year later. Therefore, the notion that the price will increase as the halving approaches is incorrect.

I agree with what you said, it seems that people are putting too much emphasis on and putting all their faith in 2024. This is not true if not they are wrong because when it comes to the future we can't be sure of anything, and everything is just a guess and we don't have any proof for our guess. It would be a serious mistake to be too subjective about our predictions.

Historically, we might believe that the halving was the catalyst that helped bitcoin generate a new ATH but it is not the only factor that gave us a bull market. Remember that bitcoin has never experienced a sick economy like it does today, and the market is also a part of the economy. So it will depend a lot on the economic situation, not halving is all we need.
Not only bitcoin, but with any investment, long term investment should always be our vision.

I don't think the Fed rate hike is still having a big impact on the market anymore. Since the beginning of the year, the Fed has raised interest rates twice and it seems that the market no longer overreacts every time interest rates are announced. So I think if the market has a big correction, the cause will not be the Fed. I still predict that the market will not rush to the upside from now on and still have a few corrections before and after the halving. But I don't believe bitcoin can drop below $20k again, I mean, we made a bottom for this bear season and it's over. Those who are still waiting for a lower low to buy may have missed it.

Anticipating substantial progress from Juventus in the upcoming season seems to be a common sentiment among many individuals. But I just want to tell everyone that it is certainly not going to be easy. The financial situation of Juventus is not the best right now. So it is easy to predict that they are not going to bring in a lot of new players who are going to affect the team drastically. So Juventus will have to play basically with almost the same team they had last season. And I don’t think that is ideal for any club.

But at the same time, you said that without only a few inconsistencies Juventus was a really good team in the last season. They performed really well. I think they will be able to perform well in this season. The target for them should be to finish in the top four.

Let’s not forget, Juventus will play in the Europa conference league qualifier.

This is genuinely a great transfer made by Besiktas. Yeah, they got a great player. I have to say a great player because considering the amount of money they have paid for him, it is almost nothing compared to what they are going to get.


I hope he will be able to perform better. Because everyone is going to expect him to perform better. A player who has been playing at the top of the competition in the Italian league is obviously expected to perform better in the Turkish league. The competition is going to be a lot less. So I believe he will have an easier time to shine.

I don't think what you're saying is what the OP is thinking. What the OP is worried about is that if he teaches bitcoin to that neighbor, it means he has a close relationship with drug criminals, and if that neighbor is arrested for drug trafficking. Bad things are bound to happen to the OP. If it were me, I wouldn't care what they used bitcoin for but teaching bitcoin to criminals could make me an accomplice and possibly jail, so I wouldn't do that. I need to protect my own safety before thinking about helping others.
