It appears that Switzerland is under a lot of pressure, today the king side of Switzerland's favorite Switzerland is very good but today the attacking side could not do anything.  However, towards the end of the match, I was hoping that Brazil could score a few more goals, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.
No woory bro I think the wait is over because from Brazilian side casemiro score a fantastic goal in 83 and put the Brazil in forward seat , because now time is over almost but refree give a 6 mints extra time , I am sure that Brazil will not allow any goal at the moment to Switzerland to score , and hope they will win this important match by single match.
Brazilians are just so unique in their style of play, the find a way to score no matter how difficult their opponents tries to defend. The held on to the win till the end of the match and still made a few more attacks after the goal . Brazil win weakened Murat Yakin he knew nothing could be done when the Casemiro scored  in the 83'

Switzerland on the other hand did a good job in their attack and defense. Their overall performance was super good the fact Brazil had to try a shot from a long range from post showed how impressive their defense was. Both countries has qualified thats is what matters anyways Switzerland just need a draw in their last game to seal their spot in the round of 16.
622  Economy / Economics / Is a ban on Retirees Cypto Account a fair deal? on: November 28, 2022, 06:17:41 PM
New York Attorney General Letitia James in the bid to protect retirees from the dangers of investing in Crypto currencies, digital assets, digital tokens and digital coins has egged on  Congress to pass a law prohibiting crypto investments in retirement accounts.

Her point of concern is on the Individual retirement accounts(IRAs) and defined contribution plans, like 410(K0 plans and 457 plans for government workers, which has been the investment option for millions of Hardworking Americans after retirement. She sighted the recent development in financial institution where Bitcoin became an investment option in 410(k) plans, and other financial institutions expected to follow suit. With the recent downtimes in the crypto market and the market turbulence, Attorney General James  emphasised on the protection of workers' retirement funds and save them from the risk associated with cryptocurrencies.

Most of this retirees know absolutely nothing about how this digital assets work. The just trust this investment plans to make the right decision for them. Attorney General James is only been protective of her citizens to save them from the downtimes because the only depend on pensions for survival as such risking them on assets the can't control themselves can result to sudden death and heart failures. Because they will have to wait till the market becomes favourable to start making profit on their investments.

I have been working as a freelancer for years, and I have saved some reasonable sum of money. now knowing the full potential that cryptocurrencies have, I am now confused on what to do if is to invest in cryptocurrencies or to establish a business while still working as a freelancer, I don't know the one I should do at moment, if to invest in cryptocurrencies or to establish my business.
There are a few questions to answer before making your decision on which to chose.
  • How long are you willing to hodl
  • Do you have plans for this money any time soon
  • How good are you in managing business
  • Are you willing to learn how to manage secure your keys
  •  How much capital is involved

How long are you willing to hodl
As a starter Bitcoin should be the preferred option for investment and to profit from Bitcoin it will require holding for long. The term long has no specific time frame it could be 6months, 1year, 2 years or even more depending on how fast it takes price to go bullish.

Do you have plans for this money any time soon
If the money has a short time need then business should be a better option for your said capital. business too rewards but the difference is that Business will give earned/ active income but if Bitcoin starts rewarding it comes as a passive income where you get rewarded just for holding.

How good are you in managing business
If you are good at business management having a business and investing in Bitcoin can be another alternative. That way it will be the proceeds from the business that get invested. It will be a good way to manage risk as well.

Are you willing to learn how to manage secure your keys
It's not enough owning Bitcoin knowing where to save them is more important because your keys are as important has your investment. Always chose cold wallets. Most preferably run your own node.

How much capital is involved
Starting a business is more difficult this days. The cost of running a business gets more expensive has inflation rate keeps hitting the roof. If your capital is good enough to give a passive income then business can be a good start then the proceed used for investment. But with little capital investment should be preferred.

Alvaro Morata has given the Spanish giant the lead what a heartbreak it will be for Germany if they fail to equalize in this game!
Everyone expected Germany to fight in this game but Spain has been the better side since the beginning of the match and they have been asking questions on the defense line of Germany but Morata was able to get a fantastic goal in the 62nd minute I believe Spain should be able to hold unto the one goal till the final whistle.
Germany are making all attempts to get an equaliser. Musiala just missed a good chance to get the goal that would have changed the game around. Spain defense got even more difficult to break. But finally the goal for Germany came through from Musiala in the 83'. The game is now leveled 1-1. Germany needs this draw most the might have to play their best defense tactics till the match ends.

We still recall what happened during the bull run in 2021
When many predicted Bitcoin to hit $100k
It hovered around $64k+ did as if it will go further then started it retracement
till date we all are hoping for a new bull run

I am considering Spain and France. I am still not convinced about Brazil because it took them extra effort to win Serbia. England displayed their weakness against USA and they might get knocked out in the round of 16. Portugal might show high performance but i am also not convinced. As for Argentina their match against Mexico will decide. My prediction is subject to changes as the competition progresses. But five countries will go far which include Portugal, Germany, Brazil, Spain, France and Iran. Iran is showing so much strength that everyone is ignoring.

Using a board and paper method to teach a kid of 11 years about Bitcoin and blockchain looks boring and time wasting. Children learn through fanciful pictorial representations a colourful image of Bitcoin would have sent more information than all the lengthy messages. Judging by the child's sitting posture it is clear he was only paying attention as a sign of respect.

Iran didn't win because of red card they deserved to win this game because of their game, they played brilliantly today and fearlessly ,Wales was not playing good at all they seems to be out of track many times.
First yellow card to goalkeeper than red card to W. Hennessey .

Well done to Islamic Republic of Iran what a game and what a victory.  R. Cheshmi and R. Rezaeian score goals in today's game.
What's unique is that the Iranian players scored two goals in extra minutes and that was extraordinary because they had the will to win and really played well in this match. Even though Wales still had more possession of the ball, the Welsh players weren't lucky enough this time and it would be a shame if Wales had to lose to Iran.

And if Iran is able to win once again against the United States, then it is certain that Iran will qualify for the round of 16 even though Wales can win in other matches, because matches in the group have only been held three times.
Iran were more forceful in their attack in the second half. Even before W. Hennessey got the red card Iran had classical attempts including two "off the woodwork" attempts. Iran deserves the three points, Wales became more confused with their game in the second half. Iran has scored a total of 4 goals in the world cup. Their chances of winning or getting a draw against USA is getting higher

If I were Chelsea I won't sign Ronaldo. I'm not saying he's a bad player but he not just what they need right now. To me,Chelsea do not have a very good creative midfielder so if you put Ronaldo upfront he'll just be on his own with little or none of the balls getting to him. Assuming they got very good wingers the absence of a consistent creative midfielder won't be noticed.  
I think Chelsea's problem is the defence or the attack. chelsea is under transition. They just brought in a new manager with a new and a different philosophy. Let's not forget the chelsea spent nothing less than £150 million in signing 3 defenders, in the summer transfer window and we are still complaining of defenders. If you bring in a new coach, it takes time for players to adapt to a new manager and his philosophy. I think chelsea needs experienced players like Ronaldo to be able to implement the attacking philosophy of the new manager.
CR7 should know what is best for him at the moment. B. silva confirmed him to be a good team player and fit to be counted on as a player at the top of the team after the defeated Ghana. but Ronaldo needs a balanced team to be at his best again else he might be tempted to over labour himself just like he did last season at United. Chelsea still needs to balance their defense and midfield so Ronaldo moving to Chelsea might not be a good decision.

The first matches of the group stage of the World Cup have been completed. I think the most surprising result came from Argentina and Germany. Argentina might manage to get out of the group. Because the other opponents in their group are weaker. But Germany have very tough matches. They cannot easily beat Spain. They will probably beat Costa Rica. They will expect Japan to lose points in the remaining matches. In my opinion, there is a possibility that Germany will say goodbye to the World Cup early.
From all indication Germany will find it tougher and their chance of qualifying for the next round is very slim. Germany can't withstand Spain if the will get any point from the group stage it will be against Costa Rica and by then Japan should be 6 points ahead as the are the favourite to win against Costa Rica. Germany just has to warm up for their exit from the world cup and prepare for 2026

Quote

Wales - Iran match continues 0-0. Iran seem to have overcome the shock of the 6 goals they conceded in the first match. Also, Iran seem very eager in this match. They are playing with high pace. But I don't think they can sustain the whole game at this pace. In my opinion, Wales will dominate the game in the second half.
Iran kept on to a very high pace. The first half draw showed a very strong hunger by Iran to recover from their strong defeat from England in the first match. But Wales seems to have a better possession of the game it might end in another loss for Iran in the second half.

The issued blanket ultimatum to staff by musk must have triggered this resignation from  Tess Rinearson and other crypto staffs of the Twitter social media. The Ultimatum is too rigid  and hardcore because i see no reason for a longer working hours if not for selfish test of loyalty whichis not necessary in my opinion.

This won't have any impact on the crypto market because Twitter implementation only makes room for NFT collectors to link their tokens to their profile pictures not having any direct link the crypto market has there are no crypto payment opton on Twitter

Twitter had implemented a tool allowing crypto art collectors to link a nonfungible token to their profile pictures, distinguishable by their hexagonal shape on users’ accounts. Rinearson was previously vice president of engineering at blockchain development firm Interchain, working on projects like Cosmos.

The first half match ended draw 0-0 between Brazil vs Serbia, even though the first half without a single goal was quite interesting. Both teams performed with high intensity and Brazil were able to create several chances but the finishing was not effective enough to score goals. I am excited watching first half because both team have huge pressure and several time Brazil Vinicius Jr success made Serbia defender faced difficult moment.

There are still 45 minutes left in the second half for Brazil and Serbia to score goals, the victory in the first match is important enough to raise the mentality of the players in the next match.
Brazil is now 2 and SRB 0
Great game by BRA team - the hal is full of yellow shirts. Brazil showed great team spirit.
But SRB is unable to manage to score even a single goal.
SRB missed it when the stopped playing attacking games and went all defensive. In the first half when the played attacking games Brazil had tough time penetrating their defense and their Midfield seemed balanced. The second half SRB went on defensive and gave Brazil the chance to convert two chances to goals. SRB should have managed N. Gudelj till the end of the match because the moment he was subbed the midfield got compromised and conceded two goals  courtesy of  Richarlison and Vinicius who gave the second assist. Brazil is so full of players even their second ix is enough to start a new team.

I like the method of teaching adopted where written material was provided for reference and follow up. It will still be a kind measure to do a check up when the finally start investing ensuring the keep their portfolio simple and stick to Bitcoin until they are knowledgable enough to try out a few alt.

If these are close relatives or close friends do well to stick even closer because if the try things out and it gets complex they will always want to attribute their bad ordeal to the information the got and the same goes if it gets all greenish. Teaching crypto requires that consistent follow up until they can comfortably stand on their own.

These days the conditions are clearly different and Allegri proved himself that with their players returning it was enough to make all the haters silent with the Juventus game.
Whatever is happening at Juventus at the moment is something to be expected. I don't hate Juventus at all, but seeing juventus performance at the beginning of the season I was a little surprised. I remember when the Juventus board threatened Allegri, this was proof that the Juventus officials were also angry with Juve's performances this season. Sometimes pressure from official and fans are needed when coach failed to give their best.
Here we have to check few things before talking about Allegri and Juventus performance in early rounds of this season they have around 12 injuries which were not allowing them to have their best and things were worst for the team like Juventus which is surely well known by board and all fans but still Allegri done amazing job and keep his teams spirit high and as he has some recovery now they are back in business which is surely masterclass from them with this now they can fight hard for having their best result in this season even they are badly out of the Champions League but hopes high, and they still can do good in this season with their available resources with this all now fans and management is also feeling good.
Allegri did an amazing job if truth be told. He fought really hard to maintain a good record for Juventus even with the injuries recorded in the early rounds of the season. It is sad that out of the five players still on injury four are uncertain of their return. Their exit from the champions league is quit understandable the still have hope in the Europa league and i hope more players recover before the heat of the Europa sets in.

I don't blame Manchester United for anything,  everything is just Ronaldo fault. Ronaldo is a desperate players. Ronaldo coming to Manchester United he was expecting a lot, after he could not get what he wanted he tried leaving the club by all means but he couldn't get the prefer club he wanted in the summer season.  All this time he already had misunderstandings with ten Hag because of not showing up in the preseason games. Ten Hag not giving him the chance for participating in most games was also a problem. Everything was his fault, he was trying to make decisions for the club.
Of course there are pros and cons about the Ronaldo and Manchester United situation. But I don't think now is the time to discuss it all because the decision has been achieved and it is no longer possible to change it.

Ronaldo and Manchester United have reached a mutual agreement for the good of each other, now Ronaldo just needs to find another club and Manchester United are gearing up for the challenge of this season regardless of whether they want to buy a new striker or not. About Ronaldo's new club, it looks like the rumors to Napoli are very strong, but I still want him to play for one of the Premier League teams.
I will blame SIr Alex Ferguson for all his ordeal. He was already set to move to Manchester City with all arrangement ready before he got the call from Sir and had to respect it. The annoying part is Sir Alex was no where to be found when his hard times in United began uptil when his contract got terminated. I am glad he is happily playing in the WC and has recorded his 36th goal. I hope Napoli finalises their deal with him because he will be far better in the seria A

It was a big surprise to everyone. I mean Argentina been the Favourite having the likes of Di Maria, Julián Álvarez, L. Martinez, C. Romero, N. Otamendi, i don't want to involve Messi who is at the front line of blame. Argentina were just playing to have fun, the were just enjoying their time after the first half penalty win making mistakes in the second half. The most shocking part is that Saleh Alshehri's goal was the very first attempt Saudi Arabia had. The second from Salem Aldawsari was a big Argentina's defensive flaws.

I have vowed to keep my bets affordable because any one can lose even England, Spain, Portugal and Brazil and France isn't excluded. OP wanted something huge but it turned out the opposite but if he had won the story would have been different . OP just needs to take a break and resume when he has accepted the loss.

I don’t think it’s about being a Bayern Munich fan. What is true is always going to be true. If I say Bayern Munich is not going to win it is not enough to change the fact that Bayern Munich is still the leading team in the Bundesliga. And most of the teams do not even come close to them in terms of quality. There is a reason why they have been champions for 10 consecutive seasons. Even if Bayern Munich lose one or two games, I do not think it matters too much because we all know how they started the season. We are also watching where they are now on the table.
I was excited when Union Berlin dominated the table for weeks. The hope was that finally a club has risen to challenge Bayern to deprive them of winning the title the 10th time in a row after having a peaceful 9th win last season but unfortunately Berlin is chilling at the 5th position.

It is just a reminder that Bayern hardly lose to big clubs SC Freiburg was a 5-0 win so Leipzig should be a comfortable away win. I am pretty sure Bayern will continue the season even stronger after the world cup. Leipzig defeat will be a birthday gift to me.

At this point that Manchester United have lost one of their player Ronaldo, it is obvious that the club will be in for a long period of poor performance as the chances of Manchester United getting a replacement for Ronaldo is highly minimal since Manchester United's current standing is not attractive to any good player to want to risk their football career for man united.
I am unsure if they will perform poorly simply because Cristiano Ronaldo, who is not in their starting lineup, has left. I am aware that Ronaldo's career in football is almost over because I don't believe he can play well anywhere in the world right now. Meanwhile, the coach will be at ease knowing that his player selection was perfect as his presence also caused some issues in the team due to his status as a player with a big name.
Ronaldo's departure will be missed by all United fans but it will have nothing to do with their performance rather it will reduce the tension at Old Trafford and give Ten Hag enough space to do what he needs to do to make the performance of united much better because  Ronaldo is not in Ten Hags starting ix option and since this season he only has 1 goal in 16 matches.

Ronaldo needed to leave because he needs a club where he will be served passes as a top 9 judging from his age he no longer has the energy for all the acrobatics he did while he was more younger. Premier league as it stands now will be too competitive for him because it is filled with much younger stars he should do better at Laliga or Seria A
