Investment is something that everyone needs, because by having investments a person can get good profits which they can use in their old age. Investing is a good thing, because we don't know what conditions will be in the future, especially for older people, where as they get older, their health will become increasingly compromised and this will limit their ability to make money. At least having an investment can make someone calmer, because when there is something urgent or other important thing, they can use the investment to cover it.
But not every investment will bring you profit without risk, and that is the reason why many people hesitate to invest because they do not want to take risks or accept risks. I agree that investing is a good thing, but it will depend on the assets you invest in, not all assets. If you invest in stocks, foreign exchange, bitcoin... which are all considered high-risk investments because of volatility and unconfirmed futures, you need to consider the risks you face. If you invest in gold or real estate, which are considered safe assets, a safe haven, you will feel somewhat more secure. Therefore, choosing assets to invest in is also very important. In addition, diversification is also a good thing to do. Diversifying your asset portfolio is something we must not ignore because nothing guarantees us 100% safety. |

Has anyone ever suspected that bull season is coming? I mean there won't be a bull season like we expected and the game has changed. It changed because when people realized that the bull season will come after the halving, and people are holding tight to take profits. Think about it, if everyone is determined to hold and not sell and only sell when the price increases, who will be willing to spend money to buy at a higher price? I am thinking about this scenario and I think we will no longer have a bull season or a bear season, instead bitcoin will grow slowly and sustainably, not increase sharply and decrease sharply like before. That also means there won't be an altcoin season like many people expect. It was just a misconception and were just referred in such way because of the events which happened before after the halving. But if you would look closer to timeframes, there were a lot of accumulation stages on the previous halving before the increase became continuous. Altcoin season on the other hand happens after Bitcoin dominance, which happened numerous times in this industry. That's just my temporary thought, I don't expect that to happen but I won't rule it out until bull season actually arrives. After all, we all don't know what will happen next, we don't have any reliable data to say for sure that bull season will come after every halving. Although it happened 3 times in the past, there is no guarantee that it will repeat without change. Just like the scenario of bitcoin reaching ATH before halving is also something no one expected and believed would happen until it happened. Bitcoin is unpredictable, mate. |

 Mumbai Indians vs LSG match today looks to be very competitive. The performance of both Mumbai and Lucknow is very erratic. But both have strong squads. It cannot be said for sure which team will win. But I would probably bet on Mumbai to win this match. LSG team has won 5 out of 9 matches, losing last match against Rajasthan Royals. On the other hand Mumbai Indians team has managed to win only 3 matches out of 9 matches. Mumbai have lost their last two matches against Rajasthan and Delhi. However, the team won against Punjab earlier. The main reason for Mumbai's erratic and poor performance is their weak bowling attack. The bad performance of the bowlers is why this team is so far behind, except Bumrah, no other bowler in the squad is doing well. If the bowlers can bowl with some control then it will be easier for Mumbai to win against LSG. We don't see better batting from Mumbai's top order. Mumbai Indians got off to a very poor start today. In 6 overs of power play, Mumbai's collection was only 28 runs, losing four wickets. Rohit Sharma got out after collecting only 4 runs. And captain Hardik Pandya could not add any runs to the scoreboard. Mumbai Indians got off to a very poor start today. Mumbai collected only 41 runs in 8 overs. The Mumbai team scored an average of just 5.1 runs per over. Ishan Kishan scored 8 runs from 14 balls. And Nehal Wadhera scored 8 runs from 12 balls. The team is batting very slowly. The performance of Mumbai's bowlers is not good enough. So they have no chance of winning if they can't deliver big targets. |

The end of Brighton's season, under the leadership of De Zerbi, turned out to be a failure, and talk about him being a young, ambitious coach who can lead Liverpool, immediately disappeared. Six matches without a win, four of them lost, the statistics are simply terrible, I don’t see any reaction from the club to this yet, but I assume that perhaps if nothing changes, they will be forced to look for a new coach.
Brighton has really slumped this season. Last season they managed to finish in 6th place. But now we can see that Brighton is even ranked 12th. And yes, 6 matches without a win is really the worst record for this club. Even when Brighton faced teams that were considered weaker, it turned out that Brighton always failed to win. And most of them end up losing or drawing. This season Brighton has been worse than Chelsea. Roberto De Zerbi doesn't seem to be able to get Brighton back to their best performance. And now Brighton is experiencing a fairly obvious decline in performance. This is quite sad. I think this team needs Potter. This season, Manchester United, Brighton and Chelsea are very bad. However, we have seen some improvement in Manchester United's performance. And because of this Manchester United team is now in the sixth place in the points table. Even then we don't see the expected good performance from this team. Brighton have had a very poor season this season. The team is 12th in the points table. Brighton have won just 11 out of 34 matches. This team has to fight hard even against weak teams. Brighton's main weakness is their defence. Brighton conceded 57 goals in 34 matches. If the defense was strong we could have seen this team in the top 5/6 of the table this season. |

 Kolkata won the previous match against Delhi by a huge margin of 106 runs. A huge target of 273 runs was given by the Kolkata team. On the other hand, Delhi players were able to collect up to 166 runs. Kolkata team got a nice win. Having lost the previous match by a big margin, the Delhi captain won the toss and decided to bat first in this match. But even in today's match, Delhi is not playing well. Delhi managed to collect 80 runs in 9 overs. Despite a good enough run rate, the Delhi team has already lost 4 wickets. It will be very difficult for Delhi to give away big targets in this match. going on Given a target of 150-160, Delhi has no chance of winning. Kolkata batsmen are in good form. Today I am very annoyed with the batting of Delhi Capitals players. Delhi batsmen are not able to bat well even on such a batting friendly pitch. At the end of 16 overs, Delhi collected only 128 runs. The interesting thing is that Delhi have already lost 8 batsmen. Delhi team will not be able to collect even 150 runs. None of the batsmen in the squad can bat responsibly. RIshab Pant managed to collect maximum 27 runs from 20 balls. Besides, no batsman can stay at the crease for long. Every bowler in Calcutta squad except Starc bowled well today. Starc took a wicket with 43 runs in 3 overs. Varun Chakrawarti bowled well today. He picked up three wickets with just 16 runs in 4 overs. |

IMO that's an all-around bad idea. So many things can go wrong. Someone could spy on you and steal your treasure. You could forget the exact spot and your marks could disappear with time. A natural disaster like flood could damage or destroy your stash. Someone could come with a metal detector and find it. And so on and so on.
Storing your wealth at least inside your house mitigates a lot of these risks.
If you bury assets on land that you own, it is not easy for someone to come in and use a metal detector to find it. This wealth preservation trick is similar to how many people print seed phrases on stainless steel plates and bury them in their yards. Each method will have certain risks, no way gives us absolute safety. In my opinion, a safer way is to diversify storage locations if you have many assets: 1 part in the bank, 1 part in a safe and another part can be buried in the backyard...By the way, if this was a bad idea, how could OP's grandmother have kept her assets for 30 years without anyone finding out? The outline of every asset either without having a physical like bitcoin and or having a physical like gold or money or whatever it must have consequences or risks in its storage, but back again depending on how someone keeps it well without anyone knowing, the evidence that OP's grandmother can keep it for 30 years, means that indirectly OP's grandmother is good at keeping her wealth well, including in bitcoin too. if we are good at keeping the seed phrase until whenever it must be safe. Yes, it can be by diversifying it or whatever it is in maintaining our wealth from future risks. Frankly, any method will have pros and cons. We can't judge it as unsafe just because it's an old method. I see some people criticizing this as an outdated and unreliable method but the mistake they made was ignoring the results that OP's grandmother achieved. That's why I often say that everything has pros and cons, it doesn't matter what method we use to protect our assets and there is no need to imitate others. Use the method we feel is best for us without taking anyone's word for it as there is no guarantee that they will do a better job than us in keeping their assets safe. |

As long there is baby being born the number of new investors will never be reduced  hahaha. Why do you think the number of new investors going down bro In fact after covid hit more people are joining the investor family not in crypto alone but in almost instrument if you watch the news because people know Invest on something is a good tool to prepare in bad scenario and this is happen to crypto the halving migh already done but I dont think this gonna stop the new investore to take a look about crypto and bitcoin industry. Kevin O leary from the Shark tank said that Bitcoin or Crypto industry gonna be the next industry to join the S&P 500 so I dont think this gonna be stopped now In the long term, we can be sure of one thing: bitcoin will become more and more popular and the number of investors will increase every month and every year. But in the short term, I think the number of investors interested in bitcoin will probably decrease, for example some are expecting the price to increase after the halving. But so far, there have probably been many people who have been disappointed because bitcoin could not increase in price as they expected and maybe they will sell bitcoin and leave the market. What new investors are interested in is the rise in bitcoin's price. But so far there has been no significant price increase since the halving, so it is normal that there are not many new investors entering the market during this period. |

The game between Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt is over with the home team securing a slim win against their visitors. Bayern Munich who lost their league title defense to Bayer Leverkusen this season already knows that the result of the game will have no effect on the league because the league title has already been won but they really need to win the game in other to keep the team spirit high going into next week that they'll host Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League competition.
Harry Kane scored the two goals today to help his team get a home win against Eintracht Frankfurt as well as extend his goals for the club this season to 42 goals. His contributions will be more needed when his Bayern Munich team welcome Real Madrid on Tuesday night which will be the first leg of their Semi final encounter in the UCL
This was a good performance from Bayern Munich. But I don’t think they actually care about this, to be honest. Because they are not going to win the Bundesliga title this season. The only title that will actually give them something to talk about is the Champions League title. And I think they are also going to do everything by keeping that in mind. If anything, Frankfurt could actually have a good thing going for them if they could get at least one point from this match. Because now there is a chance that they will be pressured by the teams below. But I think they will be able to finish in the position that they are in right now. But they are not improving from where they are, that’s for sure. |

If I remember correctly you are the one who created the topic, you don't like the term "cryptocurrency" and you don't consider bitcoin to be part of cryptocurrency. Now you keep making threads that you don't like the term "blockchain", LOL.
But I have a question, in the end what can you do to change what you don't like? How can you get people to stop thinking of bitcoin as not a cryptocurrency, how can you get people to stop calling blockchain and instead the "timechain" concept that you mentioned? If we can't change anything then what's the point of this discussion? I have an idea, why don't you take your idea to the developers or wherever you think can change what you don't like?

~snip~ But still alts have there own place we should not say every alt maker or developer made an altcoin to make profit while we are also holding our funds in BTC to make profits, making profit is not a bad thing for other and good for us, its good for everyone. I hope you got my point. And secondly, there is high risk of failure of a alt token, but not every developer made an alt to make profit, many are solving real world problem, like matic, bnb and some other as they allowed integration of thousands of dapps and other relevant project onto themselves which helped many newbies to make millions. I also agree with you, I will not deny that bitcoin was originally created to be a peer-to-peer currency that would make us independent of 3rd parties. But look at what's going on, we all just use bitcoin to make profit so saying that altcoin projects are created just for profit is bad, this is too biased towards bitcoin. Regarding choosing to invest in bitcoin or altcoin, I think our investment purpose is to make profits, so if there is a better opportunity than bitcoin, there is no reason to ignore it. But I also need to remind you not to put too much faith in what altcoins advertise. We are still in the early stages of the cryptocurrency revolution and everything is experimental, it is hard to say that top projects will not fail. We should still be careful when investing whether it is bitcoin or altcoin. So far, other than being mainly used for investment and speculation, I haven't really seen any practical applications of cryptocurrencies. |

Juventus vs Milan
Home team Juventus is not in the good shape because in the last 14 matches in all competitions Juventus only able to gets 3 wins and this makes their position on League Table was taking over by Milan and from their previous matches too both teams were gets unsatisfactory results because Milan was lost from Inter and Juventus only get draw result from weak team Cagliari and whether it Juventus and Milan had same target because they want to secured their current position at Champion League spots but Juventus position a bit danger because they only have 2 points above to Bologna and if today Juventus draw or lost then big possibility their position will be overtaked by Bologna
Neither Milan nor Juventus are in good form at the moment. As both the teams have no chance of winning the title, and qualifying for the Champions League is not difficult for them. So this team is not giving full effort to win two matches. So we are not getting the expected good performances from Milan and Juventus. Both Milan and Juventus have dropped points in their last two matches. AC Milan dropped points against Inter Milan and Sassuolo. And Juventus dropped points against weaker teams like Cagliari and Torino. Matches between Milan and Juventus are always very competitive. In the last 5 matches both the teams have won two matches and one match has been drawn. Even considering the home match, we cannot consider Juventus team as favourite. |

What a victory for Punjab Kings! They have chased the big target very comfortably. I was expecting to see such big run chase (250+) in this IPL season as all the matches are high scoring match. Sunil Narine bowling was impressive as he has given only 24 runs in 4 overs. Overall, it was a poor bowling show from KKR bowlers. They were unable to create pressure on Punjab batsmen despite giving a huge target. It was an incredible result. I never imagined that Punjab team will win this match. A huge target of 262 runs was given by the Kolkata team. In the past, no team could win any match in the IPL by chasing such a big target. This is a new record. Apart from Sunil Narine, none of Kolkata's bowlers could bowl well. Every pace bowler has given plenty of runs. The Punjab team got an easy win even after batting a target of 262 runs. Punjab reached the target of victory in 18.4 overs. However, even after the defeat in today's match, the Kolkata team is still at the second place in the points table. Preity Zinta wasn't in the stadium, I would love to see her reaction if she was present in the stadium.
If Preity Zinta was at the stadium, Punjab might have lost this match  Just kidding.. but I have seen Preity Zinta quite unlucky for Punjab in several matches. If Preity Zinta is in the stadium, Punjab team has lost many easy matches. |

Kolkata Knight Riders batted in the first innings, and they scored 261 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. Kolkata Knight Riders managed to score big in today's match, and they have enough chances to win this match. I think Punjab Kings may not be able to achieve this target today as KKR is in very good form and their bowling performance is also excellent. And I watched the game today and the two opening batsmen who started for KKR in this match, Philip Salt and Sunil Narine both batted brilliantly and collected runs, but unfortunately neither scored a century in today's match. Sunil Narine scored a 32-ball 71, and Philip Salt scored a 37-ball 75, both dismissed as neither reached a century. But later, good runs were collected, and a huge target was given to Punjab Kings, and this target may not be fulfilled by Punjab Kings so easily. And I think today's match belongs to Kolkata Knight Riders, and they will win and increase their rating in the points table.
Kolkata are more likely to lose this match at the moment. The match is completely under Punjab's control. Punjab batsmen managed to collect 173 runs in 12 overs. Bairstwo remains unbeaten with 92 from just 38 balls. Due to this great innings, the Punjab team is going to get an easy win in the big target. Bairstwo hits 8 boundaries and 8 over boundaries. Calcutta bowlers need to pick up this wicket quickly. But none of Kolkata's bowlers can do well today. Now the Punjab team has to collect 89 runs off 48 balls. I think scoring 89 runs off 48 balls on this pitch is an easy task. If Punjab does not lose any wicket in next 2 overs then Punjab team will definitely win this match. |

 Source: EspncricinfoToday we have seen the aggressive batting of Kolkata batsmen. Today we may see another record. At the end of 16 overs, the Kolkata team managed to collect 210 runs. Kolkata team lost only 3 wickets. Both openers batted well today. Phil Salt scored 75 runs from 37 balls and Sunile Narine scored 71 runs from 32 balls. Kolkata team managed to collect 138 runs from Penning pair. None of Punjab's bowlers are able to bowl well today. Especially Harshal Patel and Rabada's bowling was very bad. Patel gave 37 runs in 2 overs and experienced bowlers like Rabada gave 43 runs in 2 overs. The target of 250+ runs will be easily met by the Kolkata team today. Whattt a matchhh!!!! Kolkata's batsmen have done a great batting today. The two openers made big collections. Narine scored 71 runs and Salt collected 75 runs. Then Venkatesh Iyer, Russel and Shreyes Iyer also batted well. And in the end the Kolkata team managed to collect a huge score of 261 runs. Kolkata's collection was 137 runs in the first 10 overs. Kolkata's batsmen batted at a smart strike rate from the beginning of the innings. Rabada's bowling today really surprised me. Rabada is the most experienced and important bowler in Punjab's squad. Rabada gave 52 runs in 3 overs today, and he could not take a single wicket. |

Yes, bitcoin is the top choice because it is the safest, but to say that when entering the cryptocurrency market we should only buy bitcoin and ignore the rest is a waste. The reason why Bitcoin is the only asset that must be purchased is because Bitcoin is an electronic payment system that is outside the control of any central government. Bitcoin can make things easier for you in all aspects and when you are anywhere, you can buy anything with Bitcoin without having to carry fiat money and exchange your local currency for foreign currency while traveling around the world. The technology used behind Bitcoin (Blockchain) offers high transparency because every transaction record is stored throughout the network, this can reduce the risk of manipulation or fraud. The liquidity of Bitcoin itself makes it easy for every investor to buy or sell it because Bitcoin is widely traded on various crypto asset exchange platforms. Are you sure about what you are saying? Do you see any stores, companies or organizations that dare to accept or use payment systems that are beyond government control? If the government doesn't allow it, I bet no business can use and accept bitcoin as a payment method? Besides El Salvador being the only country that accepts bitcoin as a legal currency, I have not seen any 2nd country that accepts bitcoin as a currency or payment method. This is the first time I've heard someone say that we can use bitcoin to pay for things without having to convert bitcoin to fiat money anywhere in the world. Again, are you serious about what you are saying? I'm really confused with what you said. |

If you feel banks are not safe for your assets, you can simply stop using them. And if you believe in cryptocurrencies, invest all your money in them and enjoy what you consider safe.
To me, nothing is absolutely safe and everything has its own advantages and disadvantages. Because in your opinion, if banks are not safe, how can they exist for hundreds of years and receive the trust of billions of people around the world? If cryptocurrencies are really as perfect as you say, why aren't more people using them to replace banks yet?
Your doubts about banks are not wrong, but there is no need to complicate matters while diversifying assets is the best way we should do. Because nothing here is perfect or absolutely safe.

Sunrisers Hyderabad were in such good momentum, but they are going to lose the match today. They performed so well against the top teams, only to go down to a team that is at the rock bottom of the points table - the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. SRH will remain at no.3 position, as their NRR is better than Lucknow SuperGiants. And RCB will remain at the rock bottom despite the win today. Their NRR is worse than any other team in this edition of the Indian Premier League.
Sunrisers Hyderabad tried really well to win this match. But they had a very bad start. I think that was a big reason why they were unable to win in the end. First of all, it was a very big run chase. But I still thought that Hyderabad might be able to win because they have scored a lot in recent times. looking at the big scores that they have made recently, I thought it was not going to be that big of a problem for them. But at the very start, they lost two/three wickets. And had set them into the backfoot quite a lot. Hyderabad also had to face regular falls of wickets. And that is something which is really hard to maintain. if the wicket falls regularly, it is a big problem for the team to actually score as fast as they should. Nice try, but it wasn’t enough. By the way finally a win for RCB. I actually forgot when was the last time they had actually won. Pretty good performance from them throughout the whole match. |

Yes you are right it is our own responsibility to plan for our aging and retirement. If we can plan and save our money properly from a young age by thinking about that future, then maybe we will be able to use it properly in old age. But the country where I live has a lot of economic recession. The high cost of living of the common people in our country due to high inflation is making people's lives miserable and difficult. As a result they have no way to plan for the future or save money for the future. There are many people in our country who have no future plan their only plan is how to eat and survive, that is their main aim. . No one wants to live in poverty, no one wants to grow old with nothing, those are the basic things that any adult thinks about. But the problem is that today's world is too harsh, we are even struggling to cope with inflation, recession, crisis...there are too many problems we have to face. Many of us have not been able to ensure our short-term life needs, so how can we dare to think about more distant things? As long as we can ensure our short-term and medium-term needs, then we can dare to have a retirement plan for ourselves. There is a huge gap between saying and doing and things are much more difficult than we think. |
