Time is definitely a precious resource.  And the time they can use properly they are the real gainers. And to become rich a person must be time wise and work hard but without working hard for cryptocurrencies one can make a perfect use of time by investing in bitcoin or other cryptos to get huge gains. Like Bitcoin is now very deep from ATH so if one invests in Bitcoin now and hold long time he will get huge profit in future days but if one miss this time then the time will never come back. So it must be accepted that time is a must value which we must use properly to get success

But there is still a risk in investing, especially as bitcoin and altcoins are high risk investments. There is no guarantee that investing in cryptocurrency will definitely make us rich and can save more time to rest. If things were that easy, there would be no poor people in this world, and we wouldn't have to work so hard to earn money.

I really havnt expected a draw result on this game between Gladbach against Werder Bremen i must say.
I thought that someone will clearly win that match , and after i have seen the review of the game Gladbach was for sure better.
Respect to Werder Bremen that was 2 times coming back and that they got 1 point of this match out.

The defending was shocking in this match, Werder Bremen vs Monchengladbach. Actually, the goalkeeper of both teams were good. But the defense was so bad that both of the teams has scored two goals each. But I also have to give credit to the finishing of both teams. Both of them had good success with the finishing. But lots of defensive mistakes in this match from both teams. Every time the ball was in the D box, the defense looked like they had no idea what to do.

VSB crash as well as market crash projects, luna, FTX crash doesn't mean crypto or bitcoin will crash. Likewise, the collapse of the SVB does not mean that the world banking system or monetary system will collapse. I still see rich people, billionaires... people with billions of dollars still trust the bank, while you and I only have a few thousand dollars and are afraid of the bank. Bitcoin or decentralized systems are great in many cases, but we also need banks.
244  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you Think might aid the global adoption of Bitcoin? on: March 16, 2023, 02:46:38 PM

What do you think could aid the adoption of Bitcoin?
Let's discuss please


In my view there are several factors that can help Bitcoin adoption globally. One factor is increased education and awareness about Bitcoin and its potential benefits. This includes educating people about how Bitcoin works, its advantages over traditional currencies, and how Bitcoin can be used for everyday transactions.

Another factor deemed necessary is the development of more user-friendly and secure Bitcoin wallets and exchanges. Many people are hesitant to use Bitcoin out of concern for the safety of their funds. By creating more secure and user-friendly wallets and exchanges, people may feel more comfortable using Bitcoin for everyday transactions.

The two factors you mentioned are really necessary, in which education is the most urgent because only education can people understand and accept bitcoin. People are often afraid of what they do not know, or do not understand, once they understand, they will no longer fear or hate bitcoin. Education is a key factor in bitcoin's rapid global popularity, IMO.
245  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: my small investment on: March 16, 2023, 02:41:39 PM
I bought a $14.55 bitcoin a few days ago when it was at 22k. Again Bitcoin came to 19k. However, I did not sell bitcoins. I was convinced that the price of Bitcoin would rise again. I buy $50 worth of bitcoins again. Got some profit on this small investment. Looking at Bitcoin 24k today. I will keep it for a long time and will not sell it now. I think at some point bitcoin will pump a lot

Since I can't invest more dollars, I don't have that much money. Still will invest as much as possible.
From small investments you will gradually start investing more at a time. As you are a new investor it is better to start investing with small profit in your initial state. and you will never lose faith by investing. Of course, there is no risk of losing money when investing in Bitcoin. so you can earn more profit than you invest in bitcoins later. so you invest in Bitcoin and in future you can earn reputation as a successful investor.

Who said investing in bitcoins has no risk of loss, you will lose your money if you trade the bitcoins you have, that is the right answer in my opinion for that. you won't lose any money in bitcoins if you don't sell them long term. as a beginner it is very dangerous to trade bitcoin in the near future.
if you don't want to lose your bitcoins and your money in bitcoins you must hold your bitcoins long term 5-10 years to take your expected profit. so in essence if you want to profit in investing in bitcoin you have to hold it in the long term.

Trade can result in the loss of bitcoins, and if you store your bitcoins incorrectly, your bitcoins will be hacked or stolen by others. Also, bitcoin is still a risky investment, there is no evidence that it will increase in price or will continue to exist in the future. But that's bitcoin, the higher the risk, the higher the return.

Shakib Al Hasan is out for 0 runs in 3 balls. Bangladesh fans did not think that Shakib Al Hasan will bat so badly in this match.
Shakib played a very poor shot and got out today. The required run was too low, still he tried to hit a boundary by playing an unnecessary shot. The match was turning in favour of England in the death overs, but Shanto has played alone to get the victory. Taskin Ahmed finished the game by hitting two consecutive fours, which was completely unexpected.
This game of Shakib Al Hasan was not good. If he tried to play a little better, maybe Shakib Al Hasan could have won the match by winning the remaining runs alone.  But in his wrong game he got out for zero runs. But in this match Nazmul Hossain Shanto did well in batting. Nazmul Hossain Shanto scored 46 runs off 47 balls.  If he batted well he could have matched 50 runs but he batted well in this match.  And I think he has a big role in Bangladesh's victory.  All the fans of Bangladesh are very happy for the victory of Bangladesh.
Shakib Al Hasan did not perform well in the last T20 match, you are completely wrong. Maybe he didn't score runs with the bat but you must have seen his bowling. In addition to bowling, his captaincy in the last match was outstanding. As long as England had two left-handed batsmen at the crease, Shakib Al Hasan was playing right-handed against them.  And he has given the ball to both Nazmul Hossain Shanta and Afif Hossain but they usually play part-time. Shakib Al Hasan brought success by bowling right-handed against left-handed batsmen. So a player's overall performance is to say how he actually performed on the field.

Shakib's bowling and captaincy in the last match was outstanding. And I would say Shakib's captaincy played a key role in Bangladesh's victory in this match. Shakib used 8 bowlers in this match. And he has been able to use the right bowler at the right time. As a result, England played very well at the beginning of the innings but in the end they managed to collect only 117 runs. Shanto also batted very well. Shanto is back in form. Shanto has played poorly in the last few series but he has played very well against England.
247  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if a change in people's views? on: March 13, 2023, 08:08:19 AM
There is no sudden change in whole population mindset untill there's no news flashing at the bigger levels so it won't happen with bitcoin.The slow impact is much better I would say in btc case as we have already seen over the past years like calling it scam we have now seen big companies accepting payments in it so this is how it will work in future also.
Unless there is massive inflation going on around the world, people will probably change their mindset, save their assets, and even move their money to a safe place other than keeping it in the bank. Perhaps, the bank will not be their choice because the bank may also experience disruption. And if that happens, probably they'll move to bitcoin as their holding asset.

And in recent developments, people have started investing in bitcoin, but others still use fiat without touching bitcoin at all. But let's hope there won't be inflation worldwide lest it causes more problems.

If there is greater inflation, I'm not sure they will look to bitcoin, but they will think of gold first. Bitcoin is still a volatile asset and still affected by inflation, people will never use it to replace fiat, and that certainly won't happen. As for inflation, I think we need it, and it happens on purpose, not everyone wants it, and there are still a lot of group interests when inflation occurs.
248  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I have failed too severely, time to give up? on: March 13, 2023, 08:00:54 AM
If accepting bitcoins doesn't benefit your business but, on the contrary, it frustrates you, then you should stop accepting bitcoin and wait until bitcoin is more popular. Accepting bitcoins into your business doesn't matter, what matters is your revenue. It's not worth your confusion or sadness because, as we all know, bitcoin is not very popular, nor is it an official currency.
249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: March 12, 2023, 08:59:32 PM
It seems Barcelona will have no trouble tonight, I see the line-up has also been published and Xavi brought Lewandowski at there. Although Bilbao will play at home but Barcelona must win and get three points in this important match to stay away from their eternal rivals, also my guess Barcelona will still win tonight considering that after this match they will challenge Real Madrid at Camp Nou next week.
Victory is mandatory for Barcelona to maintain its 9-point advantage over Real Madrid. But it seems their mission tonight will not be as easy as you might imagine. Bilbao often causes problems for Barcelona's defense and they also tend to appear with good discipline in defense. Of course for me it is a problem that Barcelona must overcome in this away match, but I think that the chances and probability of victory are still in Barcelona's favor.

Now the match has started. Lewandowski has returned to the XI tonight after missing several match through injury. Gavi is also on the main line-up, so I hope a win turns out to be true. Maybe not much score, but for 0-2 it's a good possibility.

It is halftime break right now in Barcelona vs Balbao. Barcelona is ahead by 1 - 0 in this match so far. Barcelona is looking good in this match. I believe they are going to win. Still the second 45 minutes left. I am not 100% sure that Barcelona is not going to concede. But I am quite confident about Barcelona winning.

I think Virat Kohli couldn't score century also due to the pressure of scoring runs fast in the final session. But whatever he made i am pretty satisfied with his performance overall. We all obviously knew he is back in form but with his performance today he has proved the same in test matches as well. Now I am really waiting only for the world cup feeling so much like 2011 just Virat being in place of Sachin this time. I am not taking any hopes from RCB in IPL anyways even though Virat is in form
Excellent performance of India team in the first innings of the fourth test. India ahead in this Test but it will be finalized at the end of the second innings. Australia will also want to throw a big target and India will try to counter it in the same way. Virat Kohli is back in form and now he will try his best to repeat his earlier performances. But in the 2nd innings, both teams will try to best in batting. Test cricket will be as like as ODI cricket.

This match is surely going to be a draw. But at the same time, I cannot say that the match was boring.
Some great performances from the Australian side and also a great performance from the Indian side as well.
For a century and a half-century in this test match so far. Don't know what we are going to see on the last day.
Already 4 days have ended. I believe Australia is going to play out on the last day.

In the New Zealand and Sri Lanka Tests, the Sri Lankan top and middle order performed well in the first innings but in the second innings lacked that consistency. The fall of 3 wickets for 83 runs will naturally reduce the run rate so even if New Zealand are a bit behind, it will not be too difficult to cover those runs. In the first innings Karunaratne had 50, Kusal Mendis 87 and Mathews 47 but in the second innings Karunaratne 17, Kusal Mendis 14 and Angelo Mathews remained unbeaten.

The top order of Sri Lanka has actually failed in the second innings. So I do not think they will be able to get a good total. This match is heavily in favor of New Zealand. Unless something unbelievable happens the next day. And Sri Lanka gets a huge total of something like 400. I do not believe that New Zealand is going to lose. There is also a very low chance of this being a draw. In the current situation, I do not believe that it is going to be anything else other than New Zealand winning.

Manchester United have a good midfielder and striker, but they're lack of a good defender, that's why Manchester United can lost 0-7 against Liverpool. However it's not a big deal because there's no rule where a club get humiliated for 0-7 they will get points deduction Tongue they just didn't earn any point and have low point of goal difference, also get bullied by many articles and other fans Cheesy
As we can see Manchester United can beat Real Betis for 4-1 in Europa League, so I believe they will beat Southampton.
I would say they have good defenders but they lose hope all too quickly. The leadership thing was missing in that game. Everyone lost hope after the 4th goal as you can see from their reactions. They had good game in Europa but they need to be back on track in PL. Southampton are not in a good shape this season but they can become threat to United. It's gonna be a good game and very important for United as they have to prove to United fans after the Liverpool result.

Manchester United got absolutely shit on by Liverpool. But in the next match, Manchester United did show some good performance. Just because Manchester United is going up against a team that is in the 19th position of the table, I am going to say that Manchester United is going to win the match. If it was any team in the top 8, I would have said otherwise.

I'm still working towards being a part of the 1 BTC club.

Let them sell it  Grin

The government holds as little bitcoin as possible because bitcoin will not become so centralized and manipulated. I also hope they sell that bitcoin and the market gets dumped, that's awesome. I still have a lot of fiat money and don't know what to do with it, I really wish the US government sold all of that bitcoin, so I have a chance to own a few more bitcoins at a price of 10k.
254  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is kyc verification dangerous? on: March 11, 2023, 02:31:44 AM
Hello guy, I was reading a thread on this forum
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5221497.0.    recently and some other online blogs which said that kyc verification is extremely dangerous. If this is true, why do most crypto apps or other business ask for it, shouldn't it be banned or removed.
Most apps usually request for kyc verification before you can withdraw any coin or money from their wallets as this is very necessary to verify or certify you as a customer.
Kyc verification for long has helped prevent identity theft, financial laundering or fraud, terrorism and all financial crimes.
   
Is this true that kyc verification can put your funds and personal data at risk? Should we stop using any app that ask for kyc verification?

KYC is necessary and also not necessary, people who do not like KYC are mainly criminals, they are afraid to do it, besides some people like privacy because they do not want to be disturbed. The benefit of KYC is to limit crime of money laundering, avoid fraud… In short, KYC is both harmful and beneficial depending on your purpose.
255  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you interpret the fluctuation of Bitcoin price ? on: March 10, 2023, 03:21:40 PM

 What do you think of the recent drop of Bitcoin price ? Please share your views.

We keep looking for the reason why bitcoin is falling but forget that we are still in bear season, which means bitcoin can be dumped at any time, even without any negative news. Bitcoin price drop is an opportunity for everyone, but those who are afraid should sell and leave the market, giving the opportunity to others. I don't want to give advice to anyone because this is a financial market, and you can't expect everyone to win.
256  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [NEWS] Biden budget proposes 30% tax on crypto mining electricity usage on: March 10, 2023, 03:15:48 PM
The governments have nothing to look after environmental issues and they only put forward these excuses just to gain money through these tax implementations but 30% on mining operations is really high.They are directly targeting them with these manners but most of them will relocate to other favourable place where they won't have to pay off such high taxes meaning another loss for Biden government.

And it seems that Biden and his administration are trying to get rid of those miners but that huge tax toll on their shoulders and it really doesn't sound good as it affected the market very bad, now the price of bitcoin is below $20k when this news was released and everyone had it's own interpretation.

And I guess there's no other option, maybe shift to a more friendly countries to be able to continue mining.

I suspect governments are intent on joining forces against bitcoin. What if those miners, after moving to another country and they, are subject to high taxes or other regulations that hurt them? They can't move forever, it's too inconvenient and expensive.
China has banned mining companies and miners from moving to the US and if that continues in the future it will be a disaster for bitocin and miners.
257  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let them make the choice of bitcoin on: March 09, 2023, 02:54:26 PM
If you are willing to take a loss for them and their criticism, you can convince them to invest. If not, don't waste time with them, because if they invest according to your advice, when they make a profit they will not remember you, but when they lose or lose money they will blame you. For me, giving financial advice is a bad idea.
258  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel selling your BTC against your plans? on: March 09, 2023, 02:50:17 PM
trust me mate , you will regret that all your life as once I did this because of some personal matter that needs to be funded and that is totally against my will but have no choice back then.


90% of the time, this happens to me. I never want to sell the bitcoins, but the circumstances have become such that I will be bound to sell them at such a low price. I only sold the coins when I was in need of hard cash for some quick or urgent work. But I also make sure that, if I have some extra money left, I buy the bitcoins with it, irrespective of the current price of bitcoin. To be honest, it really feels bad when I have to sell the coins at such a low price, but at that time, I didn’t have other options either.

When things don't go as we planned, it's an indescribable sadness. But if selling bitcoin or any other asset can help us in an emergency or save someone, it's the right thing to do. And as you said: as long as we have money, we can buy back bitcoins, so there is no need to regret but find a way to fill in what was lost.

But you bought it at a different price and also sold it at a loss, but if your purpose is to have money in case of emergencies and those are not intended for other things, then it is okay, but if you have plans for it, try to find another solution like borrowing money if you can pay it, mostly if that is not huge. Though again, if the situation is really bad, you have no choice but to sell it. Don't regret it; you needed it. But next time, you should also have an emergency fund so that you can take it in case of emergency.

Yes, an emergency fund is very necessary and important to our life. But I still see many people proud to invest all their money in bitcoin without any emergency fund, they think it's cool to do so and brag all over the place. I think at some point they will regret their decision.
259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: March 09, 2023, 10:39:36 AM
The game against liverpool was an error from the coach, he ought to have rested some players. but i'm so sure manchester united will win tonight game. this game is a must  win game, for Ten Tag men. Real Betis are strong side and  tough opponent, but manchester united are stronger than them.
Manchester United have everything it takes to win today's match; I don't believe their loss to Liverpool will affect their performance in today's match, especially since they have lost hope in the Premier League; therefore, the Europa League will be their top priority, and this match could be a chance for them to avenge what Liverpool did to them.

Maybe the humiliating defeat against Liverpool will not affect Manchester United's performance, but I can't say that they will win against Real Betis. Real Betis is no weak opponent. Earlier Manchester United team played a friendly match against Betis. And the United team was defeated. Real Betis are also fifth in La Liga. And the performance of the team is very stable now. And so there is no chance to think that Manchester United can win against Real Betis if they are in good form. Betis team has the ability to beat the United team.
260  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: March 09, 2023, 10:34:52 AM
Liverpool really trashed Manchester United, I thought it would not be like that, many of us thought it would not be like that, but 7 goals to nothing was what we saw. It can be surprising that a club that just won a big clubs in EPL may not be able to win a small club, that is possible, but the likely means is very small that the big club would not win, I am going for Liverpool to win Bournemouth. Bournemouth is worse to the extent that it is the last on the league table.
Liverpool will be in a good mood after beating Manchester United and they have beaten Bournemouth once with a very big score, even somewhat abnormal  for a Premier League match, but the same can be said for beating Manchester United 7-0 in such a match, this is also not a very normal. I understood one thing from Liverpool you can expect anything, both a big victory and an unexpected defeat, but it seems to me that Liverpool got a taste of victory and now they want to return to the Champions League zone.

However, Liverpool performed well against Manchester United. But still, I would say it will be difficult for Liverpool to qualify for the Champions League. Liverpool won 9-0 against Bournemouth. And they won the Champions League by a margin of 7-1. Even then, this team could not maintain consistency. Their performance is erratic. So I think scoring 7 goals against Manchester United does not guarantee that this team will perform well in the upcoming matches.
