If banks will cut ties to any crypto-related transactions, that would be great because people will always find ways to do the alternatives, and what if this is the start of the crypto to do innovative things and will not need any banks to make any transactions?

They are now doing all they can to stop bitcoins from progressing and they will not gonna cease until they fully shut it down but people are aware of what might gonna happen and we always have P2P and other methods to sell our bitcoins if ever they will not gonna support it anymore.

If that happens, I will no longer be bullish on the market, that would be worse than good. Cryptocurrencies so far are just investments, and if there is no bank, how do we exchange them for fiat? Don't wait for it to happen, think right now, do we have a solution?
The bitcoin ban did not bring much effect and did not benefit them at all. So there are no longer so many governments banning bitcoin, instead, they are accepting it but with regulations in their favor, such as taxes, and taxes are what they want from investors like us.

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.

Bitcoin market price fluctuates all the time so it is best if you can invest by looking at DCA. But I want to suggest you that you can trade with Bitcoin. Buy low and sell when the price rises. This way you can keep your assets and earn. And investing is a very good sign that you can own huge dollars for the next future.

Trading is a good way to increase the number of bitcoins, but trading is not as simple as you think just buy low and sell high. It can be said that trading is not for the masses, and you can also see losers in the market if not investing in shitcoin, it is trading without knowledge. As a newbie as well as with a small amount of capital, I suggest OP continue to implement the DCA strategy, never trade if you don't want to lose all that bitcoin. Don't be greedy and want to get rich quickly, and think that trading is the way to increase bitcoin without knowledge.

The price of football players becomes even crazier. The latest news said that if dortmund was putting €150M valuation for his release clause. The main purpose was keeping him to stay in the club even longer caused by the club still needs him until the end of his contract.
Quote
Today, that new angle comes from Spain, where Cadena SER claim that Bellingham’s relationship with his current club is growing strained as he grows concerned that their €150M valuation of him could block a transfer to England or Spain this summer.
In fact, they claim Bellingham’s frustration and anger is due to having been informed by Liverpool and Real Madrid that at that price they will both either be unwilling or unable to do a deal, while Manchester City have already moved on to other targets.
https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/liverpool-fc-transfer-news/2023/3/14/23639478/liverpool-fc-transfer-news-jude-bellingham-anger-at-dortmund-150m-valuation-real-madrid-man-city
There are some rumors about real madrid prepared around €130M to buy him from dortmund. Is this to prevent real madrid to buy his clause release?
Bellingham's release clause didn't even make sense. This pure intention by dortmund itself. Jude didn't even wanna see it to happen. Jude is angry now. LMAO
Football has now become a sport with incredible money.  Which team would have paid 150 M € as a testimonial 10 years ago?  Cristiano Ronaldo transferred from Real Madrid to Juventus for €100 million.  Even this price shows how high the current costs are.

This has happened because of inflation.
You know, 10 years ago the same thing which cost 50 million right now costs 150 million. Even though the asset are the same.

So, of course, the amount of money is going to go up. Another thing that contributes to this is the huge amount of revenue being pulled off by clubs and teams.
That's right, they are also being able to afford to spend so much money.

Pakistan's bowling line-up is a bit weaker now than before. At the same time, the team does not get good performances consistently from the batsmen. The performance of the team depends on the performance of Babar Azam and Rizwan. I haven't seen a match in a long time where Pakistan won despite these two batsmen performing poorly. So PCB should focus more on their batting line-up before improving the bowlers. Pakistani players are not performing well at home ground either. The party is now in dire straits.
Since the World Cup Bangladesh has improved as much as Pakistan has deteriorated in their cricket.  Earlier, one of the mainstays of Bangladesh's bowling line-up was spin, now Bangladesh's bowling depends on fast bowling. Taskin, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Ebadat Hossain, They have developed a lot in their bowling. Besides, in terms of batting Tamim Iqbal, Liton Kumar Das, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim but they are doing well regularly. Pakistan's batting depends a lot on Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan needs to do well in this position. Not only should they rely on the two of them, every batsman in the team should have the ability to do well, but Pakistan will be a complete team.

Bangladesh had a transition of bowling previously. It was towards the 2015 World cup. Before that Bangladesh was generally independent on spin. But towards 2015, they became dependent on fast bowling. After the retirement of Mashrafee, Bangladesh again became dependent on the spin.

But now Bangladesh is slowly going towards fast bowling a lot more. However, one thing Bangladesh has not been able to improve is the opening pair and the consistency of the batting lineup in my opinion. If Bangladesh can fix that, they are going to be a force to be reckoned with.

I'm wondering what your opinion is about this.


Cryptocurrencies have gained significant popularity and adoption over the years, but there is still a long way to go before they become normal for everyone.

Confidence in cryptocurrencies varies among different groups of people, with some being early adopters and supporters of cryptocurrencies, while others are more skeptical and cautious.

One of the main challenges in gaining trust in cryptocurrencies is the fact that they are not backed by any government or central authority. what's the impact? This is a hindrance for some people.

You are right, the challenge of crypto as well as the barrier that prevents crypto from entering the lives of many people, is due to the government. As long as the government orders it to be legally accepted, its dissemination will happen extremely quickly.
Everyone in my locality has heard of cryptocurrency or bitcoin, but the government media always propagates the risks of using it, so most people stay away and don't want to learn about it.
1186  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin as number one choice: The legal tender for breakaway/newly formed nation on: March 15, 2023, 08:46:12 AM
As far as I know, El Salvador has accepted bitcoin as a legal tender, but they still use USD, they haven't removed currencies like USD since using bitcoin. And it's not a good idea for new nations to use bitcoin, bitcoin is volatile, and that can easily hurt that country's economy. Second as Smartprofit mentioned: using bitcoin as the primary currency will create aggression against worldwide institutions like the IMF. A new country cannot exist without the cooperation or help of countries and financial institutions.
1187  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there anything like Bitcoin savings? on: March 15, 2023, 08:32:46 AM
Bitcoin wallet it's self is a savings account. And your bitcoins won't be tempered with. The different between bitcoin wallet and bank is that bitcoin is decentralised, no other person has access to your wallet except you and there is no government policy. In banks, reverse is the case. And saving in banks  aim at interest. You can save your bitcoins by means if holding bitcoins for a long period of time which you can always make use of any time of your choice.

Bitcoin is very volatile, so it cannot be called savings, if you buy bitcoin every day, it is called accumulation and investment. And in investing, there will be profits and losses, you cannot expect a bitcoin investment never to lose.
Investing and saving are entirely different, so they can't be compared, saving is just saving money for the future for emergencies. Investing means we want to increase capital but also risk losing if we invest in the wrong way. To make life more convenient, we should all have both, they have different use cases.
1188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: March 14, 2023, 07:00:46 PM
It's not about monetary loss or gain but rather dignity. If India is not willing to come to Pakistan, then why should Pakistan visit India? There is no doubt that BCCI is the wealthy board, and no one can challenge his decisions, including ICC.
Pakistan has visited India numerous times to play bilateral series and ICC events in last decade. I don't think PCB will send his team to Pakistan after India pull out.
The problem is that the world cup is being organized by the ICC. Pakistan (PCB) boycotting the world cup will be like the Americans imposing sanctions on Belarus for Russians invading Ukraine. If they boycott the tournament, it will result in losses for the ICC and it may not impact the BCCI negatively. On top of that the ICC may refuse to transfer the annual funds to PCB if something like this happens. Similarly, if the BCCI boycotts the Asia Cup, then ACC will be impacted since they are the ones organizing this tournament.

Cricket is a great sport. But the problem is the ICC is a failed sports body. They have basically failed to keep any stability in cricket. I will say that it could be better if ICC didn't listen to anyone and just tried to maintain justice. I of course believe that if India does not agree to play in Pakistan, Pakistan also has every right to not go to India. And why is the ICC going to stop transferring funds to PCB when the BCCI is not going to face any problems like that?
1189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: March 14, 2023, 05:46:22 PM
After the first leg, Roma won over their opponent Sociedad. Now the two will meet again in the second leg at home to Sociedad. I think Roma's chances of qualifying are so safe because they have an aggregate advantage of 2 points and it looks like Sociedad will have trouble catching up. But I think playing as host Sociedad, of course, can score at least 2 goals which will take the match to extra time until a penalty shoot-out. But again, Sociedad's chances are slim considering that Roma have played quite well in the European league competition this season.
Even though Real Sociedad will play at home in the second leg later, still, playing at home is not a guarantee that Real Sociedad can score goals easily. Because after all, in the last five matches of Real Sociedad at this moment the reality is that Real Sociedad did not win and because of that, I personally believe that AS Roma will be able to maintain the aggregate victory they have.
Also, even though Real Sociedad is playing at home, the odds currently available show that Real Sociedad's chances of winning seem very low and difficult. So, with the odds factor and poor results in Real Sociedad's last five matches, I'm sure Real Sociedad won't be able to win in this second leg.

Roma is ahead in terms of aggregate score in this match against Real Sociedad. Roma 2-0 Real Sociedad. So I am going to think this match, the second leg being played in the home stadium is actually going to be a good enough advantage for Real Sociedad. However, I think Roma should be able to win this match even if they play this match very defensively.

My prediction is that this match is going to end 3 -1 in favor of Roma.

I don't see any chance for RCB women's team. They have been badly beaten in each of their four matches. Their weakness is observed in both bowling and batting sides. It is very unlikely that they will improve quickly from such a poor performance and win all the upcoming matches.

Mumbai and Delhi women's teams are playing very well. Mumbai Women won all four of their matches. Delhi Women on the other hand have won 3 matches, but their batting line-up is very strong. Almost all the batsmen in the team are in good form now. A team between Mumbai and Delhi looks set to win the title.
That's a known fact, Mumbai Indians or Delhi Capitals gonna win the first season title. RCB can't make a comeback at the earliest, team needs lot of changes. RCB Men's team have got good set of players, and the chance of RCB to reach next level is not possible as a four matches are left. RCB Women team isn't that worse, because in the match against Delhi Capitals it managed to reach 163 runs chasing the target 223 runs. Against Gujarat Giants it reached 190 runs chasing the target of 201 runs.

Even if RCB wins all of the matches left I don't think they will be able to get anywhere near the first position or anywhere near giving enough competition to be in the finals.

At this point, I feel like RCB is just a club that tries to make viral news. The marketing strategy of this club is really great. I think we all understood that when they brought in Sania Mirza as a coach. But the playing strategy of this team is not so good. And a big problem for this team is that the players are not in form.

Bhim Sharki is one of the good cricketers in Nepal cricket. He usually plays in the middle order. His average score is 32.33 which is quite good. His consistent performance will be most useful to take Nepal cricket to a better level. At the end of ICC Cricket World Cup League Two 2019-23, Nepal team got the most recognition. Hopefully they will be able to change their racking position soon. In the last match, Nepal scored 100 runs in 7.4 overs to defeat Papua New Guinea by 9 wickets. By this match their top order excellent batting ability is revealed.
Nepal have played as if like playing T20 match. Even this could help in the net runrate, after today's win Nepal and Namibia were with the same point. Based on the net runrate Namibia leads and takes the third position. Five matches won continuously had made Nepal reach this position. Before playing five matches the discussion took place, Nepal needs to win all the remaining matches to secure good position on the points table. Same as that Nepal is doing well and hope the final match too will be a win for Nepal.

Nepal absolutely destroyed Papua New Guinea. First of all, only 95 were collected by Papua New Guinea in the first innings. And it took them 32 overs to get that. Nepal goes to the target in only less than 8 overs. Sandeep Lamichanne performed really well in this match. He got five wickets. He basically destroyed the backbone of the Papua New Guinea's batting order. This is going to be a big confidence booster for Nepal. I hope they will be able to continue performing well like this.

Will you go for less risk, or big profit?



Today's real estate market is only for those who have a lot of money, it can be said that it is only for the rich, and those with little capital to invest, such as students or office workers, workers...They don't seem to have many opportunities to invest in real estate or gold, and the profits from there can't help them achieve bigger dreams. I will choose to invest in cryptocurrency, and take risks to achieve greater achievements, and I also believe that cryptocurrency will be one of the mainstay financial markets in the future.
1193  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people stay poor? on: March 13, 2023, 02:20:28 AM
I have always wanted to ask this question is it that there is no opportunity or they do not want to get rich
Mate please more to this I am confused here.

There are many factors, and each person will have a unique situation, it is difficult to have an exact answer to this type of question. But I believe that no one in this world does not want to become rich, we all live and try to do everything just because we want to have a lot of money and have a life without worrying about money.

But I think you don't need to ask this question. Are you rich yet? If not, why aren't you rich? And how are your loved ones? If you can answer these questions, you will have the answer to your question.

The match between Juventus v Sampdoria has already started and I think it will be an easy match for Juventus to beat Sampdoria. Because Sampdoria has not had good performance so far this season, so Sampdoria is still struggling in the relegation zone and of course, this will make it difficult for Sampdoria to get a good final result in this match.

Anyway, three points is the target that Juventus must get in this match, because with teams like Atalanta and AS Roma who don't have consistent good results. So this can make Juventus still have the chance to be in sixth and/or fifth position, I'm sure Juventus will be able to get it.

Juventus 2 : 2 Sampdoria

This match is already wilding the fans. Only 40 minutes have been played. Four goals have already been scored.
It looked like Juventus was in control of the match. But suddenly Sampdoria came back and scored two quick goals.

Now, the match can go either side. But still a long time to be played in this match and I believe Juventus still has a good chance to win.

I don't think there is any hope left for Elche to survive relegation this season even though they managed to pull a surprise rare away victory against Mallorca in their last match. I guess Valladolid will be able to secure 3 points playing against Elche at the final whistle today.

Elche is certainly getting relegated. There is no way they are coming back from this situation at all. Even if they do not lose a single match among those which are left, I still don't think they will be able to avoid relegation. Just for some context they are at the absolute bottom of the table and they have a point differential of 11 with just the team ahead of them.

Elche did get a surprise win against Mallorca in the last match. But I highly doubt that they will be able to get a win in this match against Valladolid.
1196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: March 10, 2023, 05:57:50 PM
The fight between mediocre teams who want to avoiding relegation is sometimes unpredictable because they have equal target but indeed Getafe recent performance is more good than Cadiz because at least they only lose once from 5 recent matches
About players conditions probably Getafe will still played their key player Enes Unal and Cadiz should be careful to this player because lately they had showed outstanding performance with scoring 6 goals from 9 matches and for Cadiz i didn't see any important players from this team who got injured or suspension so probably Cadiz will playing with their best starting line up however in the last 2 meetings both of teams only can able to playing draw and today too not impossible the result of this match will be draw again
I am not really fond of betting on those mid table or even relegation zone teams because of how much it is unpredictable. Even the worst team could beat the team that is like 15th or something, it's always unknown to me. I believe that the best thing to do right now would be making sure that I gamble on the teams I know.
Like for example, Real Madrid will play Espanyol, sure Espanyol could get a win or a draw and I am not saying that would be impossible but the most likely outcome is Real winning right? Or Barcelona plays Bilbao, they should be winning that too, or ATM playing Girona, they should win that too. These are a bit easier to predict games.

Getafe v Cadiz this match is going to be interesting. Both of them are in the lower mid position of the table. And this match is basically a must win for both of them. I said it must win because whoever loses in this match is going to be in danger of getting into the relegation zone. Or at least stay dangerously close to the relegation zone.

I absolutely agree that these types of matches are also very hard to predict. Because you never know which team is going to win. Some people like the unpredictability of these matches and some people don't. But it's interesting that when we are about to predict a big match like Real Madrid vs Barcelona, we don't mind. But to predict these types of mid-table matches, is really very tough.
1197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 10, 2023, 05:31:25 PM
The match this time will not be easy enough for Atalanta, because Atalanta will face the strongest team in Serie A this season at home to their opponents. Which means it will be very difficult for Atalanta to get three points in this match because Napoli also don't want to lose again at home like what happened to Lazio this season.
So today Atalanta needs to really fight if they are still aiming for the top four positions in the standings because Atalanta's position is now also being hunted by Juventus who are currently in seventh place with seven points away.
Napoli is in a superb form,their scoring machine Oshimen is performing extra impressive, he is now the focus on the league. This give Napoli a better chance to win Atlanta,no matter what the challenge maybe. This should be an interesting match and unpredictable since both clubs are doing great.
Atlanta shouldn't be looked down because they are focus on winning a place on the top four,which will make it a do or die affair for them. The game will definitely favour Napoli because Oshimen will always do what he loves doing which is netting the post.

Atalanta is not in the best form right now. They have only one win in the last five matches. That is not a good indication at all. And they are also going up against the best team in the league, Napoli. The worst thing is Napoli is also coming back from a loss. So they will be trying to get a win in this match. But it is not a must-win match for Napoli as it is for Atalanta.

Another bad thing for Atalanta is that this is going to be an away match for them. Overall I think Napoli is going to win this match. It is actually going to be a good result if it is a draw for Napoli. But Atalanta needs to win this match.
1198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 10, 2023, 05:18:30 PM
Like the first test match, the South African team is likely to win the second match as well. South Africa batted well in the first innings. And their performance is good in the second innings too. South Africa collected 266 runs losing 6 wickets. And South Africa is now leading by 335 runs. And I think that is enough collection to win against West Indies.
West Indies bowler's performance is bad I would not say that. But the performance of West Indies batsmen is very bad. West Indies batsmen are not suitable for the Test format. Apart from Jason Holder, no other batsman on the team could collect up to 30 runs.
South Africa now lead by 356 runs and they still have three wickets in hand. The important thing is that Temba Bavuma , the captain of south Africa, is playing at 171 runs and is still not out. Although this lead should be enough for the South African team but ideally they would like to post a lead of 400 runs and Temba can help to achieve this Psychological lead.
I would agree with your point that West Indies needs to improve their batting. Their bowling is reasonably ok but if the batting gets a bit improved they could give tough competition to the South African team.

I think South Africa should just post a target of 400 for the West Indies and they will be very safe. I seriously do not want South Africa to play any more time than just the first session of the fourth day. Because the chance of South Africa winning the test match is going to reduce as time goes on.

I do not want South Africa to play any further than the first session, doesn't matter if they are able to post a target of 400 or not. Considering the fact that they only need 44 runs to post a target of 400 which if they are unable to get in, the first session is going to be very weird.

I think the best approach is going to be laying attacking cricket from the start of day four. They should get as much as they can and not worry about losing wickets. After that, they can get to work with bowling.
1199  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel selling your BTC against your plans? on: March 09, 2023, 02:23:33 PM
The actual level of urgency can be measured, for example if it's about something that threatens health or even life (either yourself or someone else's), then the market situation is no longer a major consideration for spending bitcoins.
When the benefits of money that you save for the future or unexpected things are properly realized, I think you won't really regret it.
True. Regardless if the market is red or green, that won’t matter anymore as long as it will save someone’s life which is very dear to you. I know the feeling isn’t easy but the fact that there’s no other way that you can obtain that huge amount of money, then you have no choice but to sell it. There are instances that I have been in your shoes and I must say it’s so devastating, but knowing you are able to help from your bitcoin hodling, I must say the feeling is so fulfilling.

Indeed, it is uncomfortable to sell our bitcoins at a time that is not part of our plans. But in life, there are more important things than bitcoin, and if we miss it, there will be no chance of finding it back. I also once fell into the case of selling out of bitcoins to save a loved one, every time I think about that bitcoin, I still feel a bit sorry, but it's worth it because I saved a loved one. Bitcoin, I can buy it back someday, but the life of my loved ones is impossible if I ignore them in the past to choose bitcoin.
1200  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let them make the choice of bitcoin on: March 09, 2023, 02:08:06 PM
I don't even want to share bitcoins with other people, let alone spend time convincing someone to invest in bitcoin only to get a rejection, disparagement, and sometimes even say I'm trying to scam them. I stopped doing it because I had previously tried to share this opportunity with my loved ones but what I got in return was ridiculed.

Honestly, now I've had some minor success with bitcoin, and they know about it, but I never want to share or convince them again.I don't want to be called a scam if they lose their investment through my advice.
