Bitcoin has had very good rallies, but that doesn't mean we will see a straight pump to $60k, it won't be that easy, I don't think it will happen this year. If you believe in bitcoin's 4-year cycle, we are only halfway there, so be careful with everything and don't be too subjective at this point. I still believe we're going to have some shaking this year, so I'd rather be on guard than celebrate too soon.

We don't need to worry too much about the price in the short term, I think it's more important to focus on accumulating bitcoin. The higher the Bitcoin, the harder it is to accumulate, so take advantage.

Maybe some of you will say it is early to make sure of anything but I still think Manchester City have already finished off Bayern Munich in the Champions League. It is really difficult for Bayern Munich to make a comeback from that. Yeah they are still Bayern Munich but I don't see a player like Lewandowski who can play an important role to give some hope to the team about that task. Manchester City just need to throw their chance in a very cheap way by a bad defending which I don't have any expectation for.

As a result I will be expecting Bayern Munich to focus on the Bundesliga championship more from now on. Hoffenheim aren't a team that can upset Bayern Munich this season. Maybe they have improved their results lately but there is still a huge gap. I expect no surprises in Allianz Arena.

I do not expect Bayern Munich to make a comeback after what happened in the first leg. I think they will try to perform better in the second leg and see if they can actually make something out of it. But it is really going to be very hard for them to pull off.

But they are certainly going to try. Now if they fail, which seems to be the most likely ending, they will surely concentrate on Bundesliga. But what are we expecting in Bundesliga? Of course, it is going to be won by Bayern Munich.

They are not in a good situation this season in Chelsea which is a good reason to say Real Madrid can easily win this game against Chelsea but just a few weeks ago when Chelsea was performing badly in the premier league they beat Drttmound while I was thinking Dround can easily win that game against Chelsea, but this time Real Madrid scored two goals in the first leg which can help them a lot pass this stage.
Real Madrid will certainly play more comfortably in the second leg later. And vice versa Chelsea will have a more difficult match in the second leg. because Chelsea had to catch up with 2 goals in the first leg. and I think we could have said earlier that Real Madrid were one step ahead to qualify for the semi-finals. because even a draw in the second leg also led Real Madrid to qualify for the semi-finals. I don't see any surprises in the second leg later. but Chelsea's performance in the first leg yesterday was also not too bad. joao felix and the Chelsea forward did quite well. but yeah, Chelsea struggled to get out of the pressure that Real Madrid continued to build throughout the match.
Chelsea I think are 80% out of this season's UEFA Champions League competition and surely they're not gonna play in the tournament next season as well. Real Madrid should've even had a better result than the one they got yesterday because they were playing a Chelsea team that had no football style they were playing with.
Frank Lampard I know wouldn't do anything beter than he has done because he lacks the tactical know how to change the playing pattern of Chelsea. At even at Stamford Bridge next week, Madrid are still gonna defeat Chelsea in their own turf

@BRINIRHA, Do you know that Real Madrid is a team which comes back in the second leg and wins difficult matches in nearly impossible situations? Real Madrid has done that multiple times.

So it is really hard to believe that Chelsea, which is not in a good situation right now, it will actually score 2 goals, which they are in the deficit, and win by scoring more. That is certainly not going to happen, right? At least I don’t believe that. The struggles of Chelsea are absolutely real right now. And Real Madrid is certainly going to take advantage of that.

David Warner is one of the most under-rated players in the IPL. He played IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad for many seasons, before being kicked out of the team due to some spat with Kane Williamson. But that doesn't take away the fact that he is one of the all-time top run-scorers in this tournament. He is at no.4 position right now, with 5668 runs from 155 matches. He is behind Kohli, Dhawan and Rohit, but his batting average (41.99) is much higher than any of these three (Rohit's average is just 30.66). Warner's strike rate (140.58) is also higher than either of the other three. 

David Warner is still one of the greatest players and openers in my opinion. He is also perfectly fit for T20 cricket. He generally has a very high scoring rate. But this season, he has not been able to score freely and quickly because his team not being able to complement him properly in batting. People who are saying that he is bad just don’t have any actual idea about what they are talking about. It’s one thing to be bad and another thing to actually not be able to perform well because of the situation.

.

Hopefully, some of these banks and maybe the new banks that are established by the younger and more open generation are the ones to implement bitcoin acceptance. Most of these banks, especially the old ones are in the same stance as governments, and that is to try to stop decentralized systems because they are out of their control.

The bank is also part of the government, you cannot run the bank without the permission and regulation of the government. And I don't think the younger generation is going to change that, I mean, no matter what kind of person you are, when you work for the government, you have to conform to them, brings benefits them. You will also be fired if your innovations harm the government. Accepting bitcoin will benefit the people, but it will harm the government, so I don't think they will change their minds.
1106  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is on 30k how was your feelings ? on: April 13, 2023, 04:04:30 PM
I am excited, I hope Bitcoin doesn't grow over 30k for now, if we move too fast we will have to do some retracement again, the worst case scenario is going down to 18,000$ or a bit less and that will be the finally low before the bull market.

But if we keep going sideways for a very long time, this will be a more healthy market movement for Bitcoin and the whole crypto market.

Is it true that Fed will tighten the inflation rate again by the mid of this year? I saw something like this on Twitter yesterday, that might be another reason to retest the last lows again, but we will see how things play out.



I understand what you're scared of, but we don't need to get too stressed out because there's no evidence that if we keep going up, there will be a retracement after that. Anything is possible, maybe bitcoin won't go up as you want and go sideways, but that doesn't guarantee it won't drop below $18k again.

It's all just our guess and since the bears haven't given up completely yet, many people feel scared. But in my opinion, let's be optimistic and enjoy this with what we went through last year. In case bitcoin drops again, there is no need to be too sad because this is also an opportunity to accumulate more bitcoins.
1107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 13, 2023, 01:34:55 AM
This tournament is very much over for DC, they were 5th in last IPL but yet to win a game in there 5 appearances. Warner scored 51 runs on 47 balls in last game and 65 runs on 55 balls in game against RR. I am sure his stats will be similar in other two games also, the point is despite his slow run rate he is the only one who is scoring runs. Apart from him there is one or two players who scores more then 20 to 30 runs. DC have placed responsibility of batting on Warner alone.

We all know that T20 cricket is a format where the batting side needs to do a lot better every time. And DC is not certainly doing that. They are somehow getting to a total that is almost never going to be enough. Warner is not being able to have a good strike rate and I really think a big reason for that is the other players not being able to stay in the middle for a longer period of time. So he has to make sure that they don’t lose quick wickets. And trying to do that, he is not being able to score freely. But I absolutely agree, at least he is scoring, unlike the others.
1108  Economy / Speculation / Re: Where next for Bitcoin: $20K or $50K? on: April 12, 2023, 10:53:51 AM
I think 20k is more likely. Bitcoin tends to reverse the direction when momentum is lost. It's still to early for the big bull run, halvening is 1 year away. If there will be no big upwards push soon, those who bought recently will start taking profits (which are quite high if they bought below $20k), this will trigger more profit taking and create panic.

I tend to agree with this speculation, if from the moment after reaching ATH, bitcoin starts to fall, the bear season is only 1.5 years long, and if the market cycle repeats, we are still too far from the new season bull.

Bitcoin also increased continuously in the first 3 months of the year, and there has been no major correction. People are getting very excited and starting to believe that bears are giving up and we are entering a bull cycle, this is the right time for whales to take profits. I would still be more cautious than believe in a larger uptrend.
1109  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your take on the price? on: April 12, 2023, 10:03:41 AM
What a sudden jump in BTC price Shocked! This right here , changes everything about the summer circle and the fact that we broke 30k today it means a lot for long term but also , where are the bears ?  Grin Grin They couldn't stop the 30k mark and now , I think we are officially in a bull market ? We might be but let's see how current price will continue to act for the next couple of hours and days.
I feel like bears finally gave up, they tried to make news about anything, bad news about FTX, bad news about Binance, bad news about CZ (interpol), they tried their best and eventually we knew that none of that mattered and we would be doing fine. Even just in 2023 we had periods when bad news happened, just look at trying to sell 10k bitcoins gotten from Ulbricth or whoever that dead pirate roberts dude, and postponed it after the price crashed, they just let the news out first to crash the market.

We are done with all that and we are going to be doing fine. I hope that it does well soon enough and should be going even higher in price. Not a lot of people can say that about their future, but that is very important.

Nothing lasts forever, the market cannot go down forever, nor can it go up forever. The market is always there, bitcoin is still there, and only the investor is ever changing. Bitcoin has crossed the $30k mark and congratulations to those who believe in bitcoin and have reaped the rewards. While there's no guarantee everything will go well once we cross the $30k mark, let's celebrate and enjoy after a year of fighting the big bears. But do not be too subjective, the bears have never completely disappeared, they can turn the situation at any time.

West Indies were once the best in T20 but that reputation is losing day by day. They are lagging behind in almost all formats of cricket. They are quite weak especially in ODI cricket. Those who were once ODI World Cup winners in 1975 and 1979 now find it difficult to qualify for the World Cup. If this situation of the team has not yet come to the attention of the concerned cricket organization, then the future of West Indies cricket is dark.

West Indies has been a great team for a long period of time. They have been producing great players as well. We have got Brian Lara, Chris Gayle, Darren Sammy, and a lot of other great players through the West Indies. Now it is really sad to see what has been happening to the team. The West Indies team was really good in the T20 format even a few years ago. But recently West Indies has become a name that no one actually fears.

Not even in the T20 format. Of course, there are problems going on in the team and also on the board. There is a reason why West Indies players are very interested to play in T20 leagues but not very happy about representing West Indies as a national team player.

I think Adesanya is mad and that's might his biggest reason to beat Pereira, Adesanya already prepare to taunt Pereira if he win this fight Grin
Adesanya need to accept to get hate comments after he won, every people will remember if Adesanya is childish person.
But congratulations for him to able to beat Pereira in his rematch, sooner or later there's should be a trilogy. If Adesanya still win in the next fight, it's better for him to move to the next rank since there's no strong contender anymore in middleweight.
It should be right to celebrate in whatever shape or form he wants after this win because obviously he was so pressured that he prepared a lot just to win this fight and he finally did without a doubt by knocking out Alex. I wonder if they will gonna meet up inside the cage next time when they move on with this event and win their next few fights in the future. They should always make a trilogy whenever there is a chance because there are not lots of fighters in the UFC by the way and the fans always love to watch this kind of fight whenever they are still at their very best times.

Of course, Israel Adesanya should be able to celebrate his win. In my opinion, he is a difficult man for the media to get to and even he seemed to be under so much pressure to get the victory in this fight. I don't think anyone in the world should have any objections to how he is going to celebrate or enjoy his victory in any way. Israel Adesanya certainly had a great fight and the outcome was even better for him in the end. I bet he got his redemption.
1112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: April 10, 2023, 01:28:45 PM
According to recent rumours Manchester United and Chelsea both are monitoring Osimhen's situation as they think of him as a summer transfer target. However I don't know how much Napoli would be eager to give up on one of their best players. His market value has already reached 100 million euros you know. He has impressed everyone with his high level performance until now. This season has helped him a lot to shine. He still has a contract which lasts until June 2025 as well.
I don't expect Napoli to sell him unless a team makes just the amount Napoli would like to see. It is for sure that they would demand an amount over 100 million euros. Osimhen also looks like happy at Napoli for now so he also needs to be convinced well.
I don't think Osimhen is a better striker than Haaland, but I've seen him better than Haaland in some stats this season. What I mean is that these days, even average football players are transferred for 100 million euro transfer fees. It would not be difficult to talk about crazy transfer fees for Osimhen, or in other words, to predict that Napoli will expect at least 200 million euros from Osimhen's transfer. I don't see any promising top class forwards in world football other than Haaland, Mbappe and Osimhen (next options could be Rafael Leão and Kudus). Teams that want to transfer these players have to be ruthless in spending money.

Osimhen is a great player. My opinion is he is actually going to be better compared to Harry Kane right now. He is younger, more agile, and also playing really well.

So, I don’t see any reason for the clubs to go for an older player who will cost around the same amount of money that Victor Osimhen will cost. But of course, I also don’t expect Napoli to sell him. Selling him is going to mean either Napoli is getting a huge amount of money for him or Victor Osimhen does not want to stay in Napoli anymore.

It is not that hard to make predictions about Bayern Munich when they are on 1st rank already. In most of the cases your prediction will become true as the last ten years have proven over and over again. My hope is that Bayern has some tough games and that the Bundesliga stays exciting for as long as possible. If Dortmund didn't win against Union Berlin, the season would more or less be over. That's not what I like, but Dortmund isn't consistent enough and usually they fail to perform towards the end of the season. At least it isn't over yet. There have been years where Bayern Munich won the championship on match day 27 or so.

Of course, it is not difficult to make a prediction like that. Especially because Bayern Munich has been performing really well for a long time now. At least, more consistently compared to the other teams, who were supposed to provide them with competition, they have done a good job. That is one of the main reasons why many people think that the Bundesliga has become a very boring sport over the years. Almost from a long time ago it felt like the Bundesliga was already won by Bayern Munich. It has been a result of a lack of competition, to be honest.

1114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: April 09, 2023, 05:24:31 PM
West Indies team is declining day after day. The most surprising thing is that the country whose players are most popular in T20 cricket fails to qualify for the T20 World Cup. Almost everyone knows that how vulnerable such a situation with their cricket. A few teams have been added in recent times which are more stronger Like USA and UAE. Both the teams have good players and these teams are driven by ্good foreign players. As a result, teams like Sri Lanka or West Indies can also be weak opponents for them.
Well.. I feel sad sometimes. There was a time (70s to 90s), when West Indies absolutely dominated international cricket. Now they need to play qualifier tournament to get into the ODI World Cup. They do have some of the best players in limited overs cricket. But the problem is that the main priority for these players is franchise T20 cricket, and not national duty. Look at the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. Once again, the West Indian players are among the star performers. But when it comes to representing the West Indian national team, their performance suddenly goes down the hill.

West Indies is currently performing well in only T20 cricket. Other than that I don’t see them performing well in any other format. That’s why I don’t think they are actually going to go deep into the upcoming ODI World Cup. And we can see the same thing happening when West Indies players are playing in franchise cricket. They are performing well because they play T20 well. But they don’t necessarily play well in other formats.

Are we now on crypto bull run or this yet to be go down futher more down than 15500?
Until btc not reach up to 30k$ above then i will still consider it a bear market, but if btc rise up to 30k$ then that was a start of the bull run season, i believe that bull run is coming but it is too early to predict maybe the rising of the BTC price is a bull trap, so we need to be careful for good.

The 30k target shouldn't be too hard for bitcoin to hit, we're very close, but this doesn't prove that a bull run will follow. Historical factors aside, the bull market only appeared after the halving, we just have to look at the world economic situation, inflation, war, and interest rates, everything is working against us. So expecting a bull season this year is too hard for bitcoin. Be prepared for a scenario where bitcoin will correct instead of just focusing on a bull run, or else we will panic when that happens.

I don't wish Bitcoin price to fall but that's inevitable considering all the profits we made last month and we're still in a bear market.

Why don't you want bitcoin to drop? Don't want to buy bitcoin at a low price? Buy low and sell high is what everyone wants. On the contrary, I am expecting it to happen, and it will be great for bitcoin to drop below 25k, that will be fun for me. Bitcoin price increase is only beneficial when our pocket is full of bitcoins, and if you don't have bitcoins, the price increase is useless. I've never been afraid of bitcoin falling because I know it can't go down forever so I always look forward to it and make the most of it when it falls.
1117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 08, 2023, 11:57:32 PM
This time and today Bayern Munich was lucky to win against Freiburg with just 1 scored goal.
I havnt seen the game or readed any statistics about the match .
Saddly Frankfurt lost there important game against Leverkusen as my bet was on a win for Frankfurt.
But i am happy that Dortmund managed to win there match about Union Berlin and keep them a bit on distance.
According to the statistics, Bayern dominated:
Shots - 10:23
Shots on target - 2:8
Corners - 2:6
Ball possession - 36% : 64%

Approximately similar picture in the game Dortmund - Union Berlin. For a while, Union held on, but objectively Dortmund were better.
As a result, the leading three turned into the leading two, and taking into account the easy games in the next round, there is no need to expect surprises at the top.

Personally, I don’t think Bayern Munich is going to drop from the first position of the table anytime soon. If anything, my prediction is that Bayern Munich is going to stay at the top and Dortmund is the one going to drop points in future matches. Bayern Munich is performing really well under the coaching of Tuchel. And I expect that to continue. They are again going to win that Bundesliga title. The only team that can cause them some problems is Dortmund. But Dortmund will have to be very consistent for that.

When you use custodial and exchange wallets like you deposit money in a bank, you don't have full control over your assets, your assets can be frozen or locked at any time. But when using non-custodial and hardware wallets, you become your own bank, you have full control over everything, and whether your assets are safe or not is up to you to decide. Hardware wallets are the best, but if you are not ready to own them, you can also look for another solution like a non-custodial wallet, it is still more secure than a custodial wallet.

what's your story?
Your story is different from mine , Yet here are some kind of similarity. I did not just stumble on bitcoin on the internet rather I was informed about bitcoin by my friend, but instead of him telling me to invest in Bitcoin and continue using bitcoin. He rather told me that I should instead invest in altcoins. That bitcoin is too expensive. That I could not afford it at this time.

It was because of his advice that I missed investing in Bitcoin when I knew about it. However, the rest of the story is a regret, but I am into it now.


As a newbie, everyone will have bad experiences, but we should not regret it. I knew bitcoin quite early through a friend, but he also did not teach me to invest and hold bitcoin, what he taught me was to buy bitcoin to participate in Ponzi projects. I also didn't learn what bitcoin is and just thought of it as a vehicle to invest in those projects.

It wasn't until I lost everything I invested in those projects that I got bored and became idle. I was curious about the name bitcoin and just started to learn and invest in it. I believe most of those still on the market to this day have had many of the same initial experiences as you and me, but I have never regretted it because our lives are all about experiences.

It is always thrilling to watch an underdog squad like Ireland, fight valiantly against a powerful adversary like Bangladesh. Ireland's lower order batsmen shown incredible resilience and perseverance to continue the innings and compile a decent total despite losing early wickets. A highlight performance was Andy McBrine's unbeaten 71 runs and it is encouraging to see guys step up when their team most needs them. Ireland has a good chance to make this match interesting and present a difficult challenge to Bangladesh with a lead of 131 runs and a probable target of 170. It is encouraging to see such accomplishments from underdog teams and athletes and it portends well for cricket's future.

I do not understand how Bangladesh was unable to pick up all the wickets. They could not get six in a whole day, but they got four in almost no time the day before.

Every team should remember that with Bangladesh anything can happen especially in a test match. I believe if Ireland can somehow post a total of more than 250, they actually might have a very good chance of winning. At least looking at the history of all of this in test cricket, that’s what I think.
