It's okay if you still depend on your parents, even after you get married because your parents will understand it and be able to accept it because some parents also experienced the same thing. Parents understand how someone starts a household life where people who get married need adjustments because their lives have changed. But as young people who still depend on their parents, we shouldn't just depend on our parents without doing anything but instead, we have to try our hardest so that we can be independent and can even help our parents in their old days. Maybe they can't do anything later and we as children, have to help them in return for our services to those who have cared for us.

Parents' love for their children is boundless, no parent abandons us even though we have families. But if we keep thinking shallowly and relying on our parents, our life will never improve. What if our parents are gone? They can't stay with us forever.
We should be independent as soon as possible and think that our parents can raise us, and get married for us. Then we can do the same thing without the help of our parents. Moreover, only when we are independent, we have enough experience to teach our children the same things.

1. Bitcoin provides a hedge against inflation as we all know with its property of fixed supply. so that's how bitcoin is supporting the financial ecosystems.
It's high time you guys stopped saying that "Bitcoin provides a hedge against inflation," it's a misconception in this present-day reality. Or should we because we love Bitcoin and be blindfolded by it and continue to peddle lies? I guess not, the reality is all over the market. Inflation plagued from 2021-2022, what happened to Bitcoin? It could not withstand it of course and fell for it. Is that what you call a hedge?

The only viable hedge against inflation which is clearly noticed last year is the USDX, it was the only asset in which investors gained while inflation was seriously biting.



To be fair, during the last 2022 crisis, bitcoin failed to present itself as a hedge against inflation and was also bitcoin's first test year for inflation. But we also can not confirm that bitcoin is not inflation-resistant. Unfortunately, 2022 is also the year we enter a bearish cycle after a year of price increases, with inflation or not, bitcoin will still decrease. As of now, bitcoin is still a highly manipulated speculative asset that makes it difficult to act as a hedge against inflation. I believe that in the future, when bitcoin becomes bigger, not manipulated, bitcoin will exert its anti-inflation feature.

Manchester United game against Barcelona in the Europa League would be a test of Manchester United’s form. They would need to put in their best in this game. It would be surely an interesting one.

This is an important match for Barcelona and Manchester United. It is also a chance for Xavi and Ten Hag to prove themselves. How much they have been able to strengthen their team will be understood only through this match. The match is taking place now. Neither team was able to score in 30 minutes. Barcelona's players managed 5 shots in 30 minutes, and Manchester United's players made four. No team wants to lose points. So the players of both the teams are performing very carefully. The match has become quite competitive and enjoyable.

Of the 4 matches that have been completed in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, maybe only Benfica won the game comfortably. Yes, it happened because their opponent was Club Brugge, which was not favored more than Benfica. With the 2 goals they won, it will make them even more comfortable when holding the second leg at their own cage, because if it's like that then they just need to hold back and try to set the tempo of the game and as much as possible so that Club Brugge can't create a the aggregate shrinks and even equalizes. I think they will do well in the second leg.

Qualifying for the next round will not be difficult for Benfica. Club Brugge is not a strong team. And this team is not in good form right now. If Benfica's players are able to perform somewhat consistently then they will be able to beat Club Brugge again in the second leg.

Bayern Munich won against PSG by a narrow margin of 1-0. So the match of the second leg of these two teams will become more competitive. Both teams will play to win. And PSG's situation is not good now though. However, I think both teams still have equal chances to qualify for the quarter-finals.

I am impressed with the performance of the Srilankan girls. I was surprised to see South Africa and Kiwis struggling in this tournament. Indian will be playing against England in the next match and Srilanka will be playing against Australia in their next. Two out of these four teams would be struggling to cement their position in the semifinals.
Srilanka VS Australia would take place today. Australia is the favorite in this match. England VS Indian match is scheduled on the 18th of this month. England is the favorite in that match.
The joke is that Sri Lanka was never one of the tournament favorites. They were included in a very tough group along with Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. But despite that they have managed to win both their opening matches. They need one more win to guarantee the semi-final slot, and that should be doable as they have two more matches remaining - against Australia and New Zealand. From the other group, it is now almost certain and England and India will be the two teams qualifying for the next round.
It looks like once again Australia Women team to win the T20 world cup for the sixth time.
Their is a high probability to win this T20 world cup. Because among the few teams that are currently playing, Team Australia is at the top position. Australia won 3 out of 3 matches in Group A. There is no team who beat Australia. On the other hand, among the teams that are in Group B, only India have the ability to fight with Australia otherwise no team can beat them in this tournament.

The Australian women's team is in excellent form. And I consider this team one of the favorites to win the title. The Sri Lankan women's team also performed well this season. However, the Australian team easily defeated the Sri Lankan team in their last match. Sri Lanka set a target of 113 runs in 20 overs. And Australia won without losing a wicket. Australian batsmen are in great form. And this is their main strength now. If you get a good performance from the batsmen, Australia's road to becoming champions will become easier. But I don't think England and India are weak. Both these teams are very strong. And they will definitely fight for the title with Australia.

Following the positive trend of Barcelona's performance this season in La Liga and several other domestic competitions, I think they will soon win the match against Manchester United.
Manchester united have also been playing well in the premier league, just the same way Barcelona have been playing well in the La Liga, Manchester united are also in the carabao cup final, while Barcelona are in the copa del rey semi final, so the both clubs are playing very well recently, and it becomes hard to predict who will win. From my own perspective, the game is very open for the two clubs and any of them can win, maybe home advantage can help Barcelona to win the game tonight, or maybe it can end as a draw, and everything will be decided in the second leg.

Barcelona and Manchester United's performances were unstable at the beginning of the season, but now they are strong. The team has a lot of talented players. And in every match they are able to perform well. However, today's match is a Barcelona home match. Barcelona are always very strong at the Camp Nou. Players are very confident. As a result, Barcelona's overall performance is very good. And so in today's match I expect Barcelona to win. However, Manchester United will definitely be a tough opponent. Barcelona fans will have high expectations from Lewandowski today.
1267  Economy / Economics / Re: Are you ready to spend crypto when market is down on: February 16, 2023, 04:02:42 PM
Hello Everyone,

I am not speaking about just Bitcoin. I am speaking about every cryptocurrency / token.  Regardless of crypto price fluctuations, many online and offline stores are ready to accept crypto as payment. So How will willing are you to spend crypto for your purchases?

If one doesn't spend their crypto for purchases and wait for to spend their crypto when its price is nice, are they really considering it as a cryptocurrency or can we assume like those people are treating more like a security or investment instrument?
spend crypto on a down market, I wouldn't do that. I have several financial plans and one of them is to buy crypto when the market is down, I am prepared some money too to do that. the best moment to buy crypto is when the market is down so I don't see selling it when the market is down is a wise thing.

Indeed, except for emergencies, and there is no better option, then I will sell my investment. There is no reason to sell or use my crypto during the bear season. Our goal in investing is to make a profit, and to do that is to buy low and sell high, and a bear market is a time to buy, not sell. Honestly, I believe it's a waste of money to spend bitcoins or potential coins on everyday purchases when we already have fiat available for us to spend.

There is no winner when comparing these two markets as they are neither better nor worse than the other. If you like the feeling of riding a roller coaster, like to take risks and are willing to take risks to get high rewards, then cryptocurrency, bitcoin is the choice. But if you want more safety, fewer scams and legal scrutiny, then the stock market is for you.
In short, both are profitable investment instruments and also have risks, so we can invest in both, it is not advisable to put all our eggs in one basket.
I am not sure about the whole "less scams" in the stock market thing. Sure stocks themselves do not turn out to be scams or companies turn out to be scams that commonly, although it is possible for pink sheet and small cap stuff, but it is definitely something that is rare.

On the other hand, the companies you trust your money with to invest could end up being scammers who risk too much of your money and go bankrupt, and basically take your money down with them when they bankrupt, and this one is not so rare either, hence you should be careful about it. I know crypto is risky, but I rather have bitcoin than trust any wall street company with my money.

As @jaberwock said, it's up to the people, you can't force stock investors that crypto is better, and conversely, they can't make you believe that stocks are better than crypto. There is no winner in this case.
I invest in both and I don't want to distinguish which is better because both are profitable for me. You have reason to invest in bitcoin and should not trust any 3rd party, even though bitcoin is riskier. While they believe in stocks because they believe in companies worth trillions of dollars, much larger than bitcoin's market cap and regulated by law. My friends are stock and forex traders, we have different views on the two markets, and to be honest, no one wins every argument Grin Cheesy.
1269  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin trading or Investing in the stock market on: February 15, 2023, 02:15:34 PM
In My Opinion holding Bitcoin have much high potential then every stack or investment ,because bitcoin have a clear future and at the price which its sitting is very good because it highly retraced and fighting to reach higher and higher ,
Same can be said about any stock too. Additionally the stock is regulated meaning low chances of pump and dump all of a sudden and the company is giving you reports every quater which may have a lot of fabricated stuff in it but still you are kept uptodate with their stats.

In other words, every asset has its pros and cons. It is wrong to compare apples with oranges - you can only compare different apples between themselves.

Quote
I says you have one year to invest in BTC before bullrun starts , So invest in bitcoin in parts and hold like diamond hands .
There is no guarantee that in one year the bullrun will be maximum. So this is an absurd assumption to make. Buy bitcoin when it is priced low not because it is going to do up in one year, it may go up in one, two or three years but you keep increasing your stash of bitcoin.

There is no winner when comparing these two markets as they are neither better nor worse than the other. If you like the feeling of riding a roller coaster, like to take risks and are willing to take risks to get high rewards, then cryptocurrency, bitcoin is the choice. But if you want more safety, fewer scams and legal scrutiny, then the stock market is for you.
In short, both are profitable investment instruments and also have risks, so we can invest in both, it is not advisable to put all our eggs in one basket.
1270  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or Altcoin hold, sell or trade?? on: February 15, 2023, 02:05:13 PM
From what I understand it sounds like the OP is only really interested in profit instead of the technology behind it. Granted that was never a problem and now he needs to understand how the market works for each time frame.

I agree that portfolio diversification is a good option to minimize risk. But at the same time that the OP decides to pick some non-potential altcoins then that's when he has increased the risk of a crash in the long term. Bitcoin is the single most potent asset, while several other altcoin are also good for attention. I understand that altcoin are also profitable instead of just bitcoin, but it just depends on one's interests and investment goals.

Portfolio diversification may work best in Stock where you have so many stocks of same potential. But in case of crypto market there is not any single crypto that is close of bitcoin. That's why bitcoin is still the best option for investment.
You may invest small portion of your capital in smart alts that can give you good return in short interval (like Polygon these days is a hit) but major chunk of your capital must be in bitcoin like 80:20.

Right, investing in 1 or more altcoins is not called diversification because the entire market depends on the movement of bitcoin. Most trash altcoin projects die after a while, so it can't be called diversification when investing in altcoins.

For altcoins, it's a game, altcoins are a pump and dump market, and there is no technology in this crypto market. It's all just an excuse to hype projects and then die. That's why altcoins should not be considered long-term investments.

The match between FC Koln v Eintracht Frankfurt I thought would have goals from both teams but the fact is, FC Koln can play well in this match until they beat Eintracht Frankfurt with a score of 3-0. Approaching the match for the Champions League but Eintracht Frankfurt seems to be losing its best form, and of course with such a drop in performance it will make Eintracht Frankfurt doubtful.
I really dont know what was happend yesterday with Frankfurt and why the dont scored 1 or 2 Goals because they got some chances.
Maybe they already or the most players has got there focus on the coming Champions League game.
On the other hand Cologne has played very well yesterday and the weeks before.

Was a bit disappointed when i readed the result from the Leipzig game against Uinion Berlin.
At least Dortmund have won there game.

It was absolutely a bad display of defending from Frankfurt. Honestly, they had no coordination in the back or even in the front line. And a lot of times the defenders were caught ball-watching instead of marking the opponent players tightly. On the attack, they also could not form anything good. People can look at the statistics and say that Frankfurt had lots of possession. Actually having possession of the ball is not going to do anything. If you cannot make something meaningful out of it. Frankfurt could not do that. On the other hand, Köln made quick and explosive attacks and they took their chances well.

I was actually quite happy to see the outcome of the match of Union Berlin vs Leipzig. I want Union Berlin to finish at the top of the table this season.

A fantastic result for Napoli and this has made them stronger at the top of the standings with 59 points. It feels like this season will definitely belong to Napoli and I think it is very impossible for a rival team to catch up on the points that Napoli currently has. Their next opponent will be Sassuolo who are bottom of the table and will be an easy game for Napoli.
You can't tell. You it's football and everything is possible. What if they start losing and drawing like it is with Arsenal? Though there isn't a contender as strong as Napoli, if you check very well, victor Osimhen and Anguisa are currently on fire, things can be difficult if outstanding players like that go on injury, U never can tell. dropping form always starts in a single match, but the only good side of the story is that Napoli will hardly lose 5 matches which they are leading with.
The only thing that makes Napoli even more superior as a Scudetto winning team this season is consistency in every game. The victory over Cremonese was the 19th win won by Napoli in Serie A this season, now Napoli are 16 points ahead of Inter Milan who are in second place.
The point distance which is very far from their competitors means that Napoli is not under the slightest pressure. They can play carefully to keep their main players from getting injured. With the quality of the current squad that will bring Napoli to win the Scudetto this season, Spalletti will take good care of this opportunity to win a title that Napoli has not won for a long time.

There is no way Napoli is actually going to lose or give away the advantage that they have right now. They have a very big advantage and even if they start playing really badly, there opponent will have to play really very well to even get close to them. So, I do not think that Napoli is going to face too many problems. Even if they draw some matches and lose a few, but they can still win the easier ones and I think this should be all right.

Once you have no knowledge, then you will never succeed in any field, and there is no solution for you to succeed without knowledge. Knowledge is the only way to success. If you are lazy, don't expect to rely on someone or use cheap bots to help you do it, and if successful then it is not your success but the success of others, you are parasitic. It is confusing that to this day, many people still dream that they will succeed without doing anything or having no knowledge.

in fact, until now there are still novice traders or maybe traders who have been around for a long time but only use and depend on trading signals or trading bots.
they will never improve, more beginners do it out of curiosity. once a signal is no longer profitable or inappropriate. they will go and start learning to trade independently.
time-consuming, I used to also join signal groups and also try bots. however, the sensation is different when you profit from the trades you make yourself. it takes time, but we will have more value in knowledge and experience.

That's right, let the newbies experience it all, and then they will realize everything, what they need to do and what not to do to survive in this market. For newbies, I hardly want to give any advice as I believe they won't listen to us until they experience it for themselves. There's no better advice than letting them experience it all for themselves and learn from it.

Although OP's suggestions are really useless, but for newbies, I think it's still a good idea to try a little bit of each thing to learn, and they will find that there is no way to make money other than having full knowledge.

Hello everyone Kiss
I want to ask that investing in new projects has worth or not because to many scams projects now a days and i am afraid of losing money.


You already know new projects are mostly scams, but you still want to invest, which proves you are too greedy, and the result of greed is almost always a loss. No project will be both highly profitable without risk.
In general, investment is risky, and the higher the risk when investing in new projects, if you accept the risk, you can try, but if you are afraid of losing money, you should not invest, especially in projects with high APY so. And if you want to both reduce risk and profit, invest in bitcoin, ethereum instead of shitcoins.
1275  Economy / Economics / Re: Important tips to note when considering switching career path. on: February 12, 2023, 08:44:12 AM
How did you cope with the change that accompanies such transition of leaving a newly learned skill/job/career for an old one that you probably never explored deeply or earned significant cash returns from, but found fulfilment in?
What are some important tips to put into consideration before leaving one career path for the other?

My tip is to do what makes you happy, if that previous skill, job or career was making you happy then go back to it and do it even though the pay is lower than your current Job. You have little time to life on this planet so you shouldn't spend that time doing a job that you'll complain about daily before you go to work. You should be happy and excited to do you job. One of the reason this world has turned to what it is today is because people aren't doing what they love to do so they spend the rest of their days miserable.

When you're happy with your job, you'll wake up every morning with a good mood and that affects every other aspects of your day. If the pay is low then lower your standards of living. You must not drive that new porche today. Take the bus or buy a smaller car and move to a smaller apartment. Luxury isn't what life is all about.

That sounds very reasonable if you're single and don't need to care for other people. But if you have a family, your children need to go to school, and need to be equal to friends, then we need the opposite choice. When you have a family, your happiness is not in pursuing your passion or doing what you like, but your children are living fully, and you will be happy. I will choose a high paying job even though I don't like it at all, as long as I have a lot of money to take care of my children well, I will sacrifice everything for a man's happiness is the family.
1276  Economy / Economics / Re: The fear of global recession is real or just a speculation? on: February 12, 2023, 08:30:14 AM
Sometimes the media is too exaggerated when someone predicts a global recession, as if the world will end when they open an opinion, life is used to experiencing difficult things so whatever happens we should never panic, there is always a solution if difficulties come, just like in my country that was reported going bankrupt because the country can't pay the debt but it turns out that subsidies can still be used and everything is too much.

They don't exaggerate, and they have grounds to come to that conclusion, most people just look at falling inflation and think that all the bad is over and good things are coming. If you regularly watch the news, you can see that major companies are still laying off thousands of employees every day, and in a recent Fed report, they said that the unemployment rate remains low. That means they are more likely to continue their hawkish policy to control inflation better, but high unemployment is likely to trigger a recession. I think a recession is inevitable, but the severity or lightness is what needs to be assessed.

All hail Ashwin and Jadeja! These two are timeless players who keep rescuing India again and again with both the bat and the ball in the test format. Players like Axar etc are basically following in their footsteps.

Australia is messing up their plans currently, but I still feel that both these teams will make it to the WTC finals no matter what.

Ashwin got eight wickets in this match and Jadeja got 7. That is absolutely great from both of them. At the start, I did not think that Australia was going to lose this match, let alone lose by innings. This is absolutely great performance from India.

I'm still confident about Australia and India being the finalist of the world test championship. But I think Australia needs to improve. This type of performance is not going to get them toward the final in my opinion.
1278  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My ideals on how to promote Bitcoin in my locality on: February 11, 2023, 08:26:17 AM
I don't know if it is a good idea to spread bitcoins in churches or mosques because maybe there are some people who reject this idea on the grounds that churches or mosques are places of worship. Maybe it will be okay after they worship because they don't do other things. But if @OP thinks it's a good idea, he might as well try it while thinking of other ways to spread bitcoin in his neighborhood.

Providing an understanding that bitcoin is a type of investment that they can use to make a profit is a way that they can use to enlighten people who don't understand bitcoin so they don't think that bitcoin is a scam. But don't rush them to start investing and saving their money in bitcoin because bitcoin might be something new for them.

I would disagree, I would vehemently oppose this idea. Church is a sacred place of worship where we find peace, we should not bring work and money into it to spread the word. After all, bitcoin is just money, a form of investment like forex or stock, there will be many people who need it but also many people who don't need it. If this spreads in the church, it will only cause controversy, division, not good for the church and religion.
1279  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People will choose bitcoins more if the number of cryptocurrency option is less. on: February 11, 2023, 08:13:00 AM
Do you agree that more people will choose to invest in bitcoins if there were not so many cryptocurrency choices although not all are good?
OP, the growth of the cryptocurrency industry is inevitable and you cannot forbid developers from having their own projects and fiercely competing in the market. I don't care how many altcoin are traded in the market, the number is growing but bitcoin is still the first.

After all altcoin are altcoins, they are another alternative that traders or investors can take advantage of if they don't like bitcoin or whatever the reason is. So it shouldn't be strange to have thousand of altcoin listed on exchanges and it will continue to grow over time. More choice is basically the reason why the industry continues to thrive, while many of those altcoin projects end up failing and sinking. My stance on this situation, ignore more altcoin and focus on bitcoin.

Yes, it's development, and there's nothing we can do to stop it, but I don't think it's too bad either. More and more altcoins are being created, but none can last long or surpass bitcoin, that proves to everyone that bitcoin is always king, always the best choice in the market. As we have also seen, many people invest in altcoins, but it is only after a bear season that they gradually realize that bitcoin is the coin they should hold. Altcoins are raising the real value of bitcoin.

The problem is Pakistan cricket board themselves are not doing very well right now. Anything that they are trying to do are not being received well by anyone, nor the ICC. I think we can say that Pakistan is not a very rich board. That's why they are not favorable of the ICC. But I don't think ICC hates Pakistan cricket board or anything like that.
I believe that ICC wants Pakistan cricket to improve. Because that is going to mean more interesting matches between India and Pakistan. But the biggest obstacle for Pakistan cricket board is their own political situation. Among all these problems it is hard to notice Pakistan supporting and associating country even though they did.
Taking political advantage through sports is an abomination. Sports can assert themselves as strong, but being politically driven is an expression of weakness. In India and Pakistan we see that the diplomatic issue is doing the big thing which was very good even two decades ago. Those who are cricket fans always want good relations between Pakistan and India. When Pakistan and India have any match, the world of cricket shakes. Everyone enjoys it and there will be a big market where ICC have the good opportunity to earn big revenue.

A lot of people do not like the idea that politics is very much attached to sports and vice versa. And politics is also going to have a big effect on sports. But one thing which is rare to see in any other country is that I think no other country actually makes sports and politics so much that they can actually want people that knowledge through sports. But that is something which can be seen in especially India and Pakistan. I know all politics and sports should not be mixed with each other. But that is not going to stop happening. And that's why I believe India has adapted themselves and they are trying to get the advantage and the results in their favor.
