India's star cricketers are trying hard but failing to win matches. Virat Kohli, Shekhar Dhawan and KL Rahul all of them are complete failures. But I wouldn't call Rohit Sharma an absolute failure in the last match. India lost the match but Rohit tried to bring the match as the wining session. If you give the attention to the last match, you will see at the last moment of the match, India was very close to win but due to the loss of 1 over by Mohammad Siraj, India failed. I appreciate Rohit for giving the best effort. If India won the match then defiantly Rohit could get the appreciation.
Right now biggest problem is Indian white ball pool is very big, and their selectors are confused how to handle things with this all right now they are completely fails and doing mistakes again and again which creating problems for them and their team is also losing matches consistently which is also issued for them few players are not able to perform, but sadly they can't change them because with this they can fall behind for their preparation of next world cup which is also going to play in India in October 2023. Now after having two back to back defeats against Bangladesh is surely good for them from they can do few changes and try to set a winning combination but still they need to work on few things which helps them for team of world cup with most chances I have feeling few players will be not suitable after this world cup as we have in twenty/20 world cup. I think India just took things a little easy when, they had complete control over the match. We can see in both matches India was in a position of dominance. But from there India was gradually losing the grasp of that match. Of course, we had some really good performances to see from Mehidy Hasan. I think it is a little too early to say, but if he continues to work really hard, I think we will be able to actually see the next possible replacement for Shakib Al Hasan. But he will have to work really hard. In this series, Bangladesh actually got lucky in my opinion. Just imagine Rohit Sharma coming into bat in the second match earlier. And even after when he came into bat and India needed 12 runs from the last two balls, and Rohit Sharma hit the first one for six, I was thinking “surely not, right?” Anyway, Bangladesh won the series. And this was a good performance from some individuals. Cannot say any team had good team performance, to be honest. |

Bitcoin is superior from fiat currencies and gold in their primary function, it is called decentralized medium of exchange with having extremely low exchange fees. Very beginning it was invented as a trust less medium of exchange outside the global banking system that was intended to replace fiat currency. It is slowly gaining acceptance.
Bitcoin is finding more acceptances in countries with weak currencies as a means of exchange in everyday life Bitcoin Dash's ease of use has led to widespread and growing acceptance in countries grappling with high inflation, such as Venezuela, as well as in Europe and Asia.
Bitcoin Today reflects our belief that Bitcoin is beginning to fulfill its promise as a fast, seamless, international medium of exchange. Bypassing the international banking system and avoiding high fees. Depending on the various advantages and potential of the exchange, we can agree that Bitcoin is now positioned higher than fiat and gold.
We cannot compare bitcoin's superiority in cross-border remittances and then conclude that bitcoin is positioned higher than fiat and gold. All have advantages and disadvantages, and there is no need to compare or choose only one while no one forbids us to select all 3. For daily spending transactions, fiat prevails with small transactions for which we will not incur additional transaction fees. Meanwhile, gold would be a great choice to keep our assets from depreciating due to inflation and bitcoin is a highly profitable investment or used to transfer money across borders at a meager cost. |

I'm new to bitcoin because indeed I learned from mid-2020 but in this case I don't really regret what I did because I still feel that it's never too late for this.
That's precisely what I think because regret doesn't bring us back to the past, but let's take that as a lesson and find a way to fix it, so we don't have to regret it in the future. Although the price of bitcoin is now many times higher than when we first learned about it, that does not mean that bitcoin will no longer rise, if we look further into the future, the bitcoin price will be much higher than it is now. So we should take advantage to hold, we can still have a promising future like early bitcoin holders. |

Considering Neymar is already back, and even though their teams (both Argentina, Brazil and France) are still in the tournament and anything could still happen, do you guys think that PSG will continue to dominate with their stars? Or is there a chance that anything could happen with their stars?
I feel like Messi looked a bit rough, still plays great but looked like he wasn't running straight, maybe he is hurting somewhere but don't want to stop at world cup and take a small break to heal after it ends? In any case, returning players will have some sort of results in the league, and betting against PSG right at the restart could be profitable, or I am just wrong.
If you look at the main stars of PSG, Messi-Neymar, and Mbappé we will see that all three of them are going to go quite deep in the World Cup with their teams. So, I think PSG might actually encounter a little bit of problems with the restart of the club competition. I don’t know if you are aware that Messi is injured or not. But he is determined to give his full potential to the national team, it doesn't matter if he gets injured or not. I don’t know if he intends to take time off or not. But it doesn't seem unlikely that he will get injured. Neymar already had an injury. He is playing for Brazil but I don’t think he has made a full recovery. I expect Neymar to take some time off after the World Cup. Mbappe will probably stay healthy because he is not that old. But he can be fatigued. |

Brighton haven't been doing well since Graham Potter left the team. They have played 8 matches with De Zerbi's management so far in the league. They won only twice and lost 4 of them. They got those wins in their last a few matches actually but this is still not a promising form at all. Of course there will be some adaptation process to a new manager. But if Potter stayed I believe they would have a much better run in the rest of the season as well. Potter's game plan was running like clockwork there unlike at Chelsea.
He hasn't been able to make it work with Chelsea much yet. They have got so many negative results due to being unproductive in most of the matches. Potter is making a lot of money now of course. It is one of the most valuable contracts for a manager in history. But if he doesn't manage to make this team play stronger until the end of the season he might not be tolerated as much as Tuchel. Because Tuchel had very successful times with the team and his departure was due to a completely different reason.
I think the team is still going through that adjustment phase, the coach, staff and even the players are battling to settle in with the atmosphere, the new faces and as well new philosophies and with time if the Club permits they will get through it. The team is gradually picking up momentum and getting back their balance and form which shows good signs of a better future for Chelsea and Potter. Brighton have not been consistent. But they would certainly say that they are doing well because they are ahead of Chelsea in the table  . Jokes apart, the way Brighton are playing right now, I think they have a chance of finishing in the top five or six if they can be a little more consistent. But the exact reason why Brighton is so likely to be happy is the same reason Chelsea should be unhappy. There is no way Chelsea is performing this badly. The new coach was brought in for improvement. Honestly, I don’t see any improvement. And I don’t know if there is going to be any, to be honest. Potter is brought in as the new coach and I think they are planning to try to give him the money that he asks for to manage the team. So, my question is why did they not give that money to Tuchel? Wouldn’t it have been better to let the players play under the same management and try to improve the squad instead of making the players get used to a whole another tactic by a whole new coach? |

Perhaps they should focus more on their application first. Clean it up. Because there's so much scam groups lurking in there and uncontrollable.
Before I have been using Telegram but ever since I saw a lot of dirty things happening there, I switched to Discord. Much cleaner, organized, features are better.
How can you trust some company that cannot even clean their own backyard to keep your cryptocurrencies if ever they are sure on creating an exchange?
I have high doubts about this.
It's merely an app, it provides a platform for people to use, and people use it for what purpose is human behavior? You can't blame them. Telegram is not the only place scammers operate, you can find them on Facebook, twitter, and even on the discord you are using. Scammers are less active on discord because it is simply not as popular as Twitter or Telegram. If the telegram is really useless as you say, the projects have ignored it instead of using it as an official communication channel to connect with investors. |

Hardware wallets are considered the safest of all wallets today,
Thats not true at all. Hardware wallets just offer the highest user friendliness while keeping a pretty high protection against theft of your coins. There are many more secure ways to store your coins, but basically all of them require to just store the coins and not have outgoing transactions. We only have a hardware wallet and software wallets. If comparing them, what is wrong with saying hardware wallet is more secure? And how to use a secure wallet depends on how we use it?, not just having a hardware wallet means that our assets are automatically safe. Apart from using these two wallets, would you happen to have a way to store our assets more securely? Can you share? I used software wallets for a while, then switched to hardware wallets, and I really feel my assets are incredibly safe compared to software wallets. |

Bangladesh vs India 2nd ODI match starts.Bangladesh won the toss and batting now.Bangladesh scored 104 runs in 26 overs.They have lost 6 wickets and have 4 wickets in hand.Bangladesh batting performance is poor.Looks like 180 runs. Bangladesh will not be able to do much. India bowlers are performing very well in this match. We can see that India is doing well in bowling from the beginning.
I don’t think Bangladesh is ever going to learn. After a bad performance in the first match, especially in the batting department, Bangladesh is again, failing to perform in this second ODI as well with the bat. They have already lost six wickets. They have collected 144 runs in the 34 overs that have been bowled. Mahmudullah and Mehidy Hasan (the hero of Bangladesh in the first ODI) are batting right now. Mahidy is looking confident. Till now Bangladesh did not have any meaningful partnership at all. It was 69/6 in the 19th over by the way. |

I think after looking at the Brackets I can pretty surely say that we are going to have a Europe versus Latin America final.
What I think is that we might have one of Brazil and Argentina in the finals against one of France or Portugal.
In my opinion, France have a better chance of reaching the finals, while Portugal have played inconsistently.
On the other hand, both Brazil and Argentina are playing quite well in my opinion. The good news for Brazil fans is that Neymar has returned to the field after getting injured.
He played very well against South Korea, which is good news for Brazilian fans. I'm really excited about who might be able to go to the finals and who will lift the trophy.

Liverpool have 24 more matches to play in the Premier League. This must be enough time for them to pull themselves together and fight with all their strength for top positions. We need to be realistic first that they have a too low chance for the league championship. On the other hand it isn't too hard for them to be a part of top 4. The seven-point gap with Tottenham can surely be closed. Defensive issues should be solved and they are ready to fight as always.  I know that Manchester United are right between them as well. However I'm not that much positive about them. Manchester United still need some additions to the squad to play a more consistent match. Erik ten Hag should also make the right choices depending on the strength of their opponents. They are a really interesting team now too. Because there are some big matches that they won by showing a really good performance. But they lost many points easily against smaller teams at the same time. They need to find a balance between these to stay competitive until the end of the season. Liverpool are currently 6th in the table with 22 points compared to Arsenal who are on top with 37 points. I have to say that the point margin is quite large, but they still do have a chance to decrease the gap and move on top. I think it is going to be really challenging for them to win the league but they can surely make the top 4 because Manchester United has to be one of the most inconsistent teams in the EPL and their coach has to find the best combination of teams to compete in this competitive league. Moreover, they just released Ronaldo from the squad and now they are lacking a lethal striker. Although Liverpool now have 24 matches to go, they really need to play consistent football in order to finish the league in the top four and I don't think they will be able to win the league this time. |

Most chances Neymar injury is going to take time, but it's not matter of worry about the club because right now they have plenty of time 28th December Ligue 1 is going to start with in February we will have Champions League which mean already two months which is good for them to settle things in positive way specially for the Champions League because in Ligue 1 they have no issue Messi and Mbappé both can handle things easily.
Right now both Argentina and France having fair chance for the title in World Cup with this most chances these both players will be played for some more time, and hopefully they will end this cup without any serious issue because nothing's could be tricky as full strength needed for all countries as we are entering into last 16 round and Neymar injury is surely big setback for the Brazil which is also favourite for the title.
At first, we thought that the injury of Neymar is not going to be too much problematic for Brazil. But after watching the match which Brazil played in the World Cup after Neymar got injured I think we can say that we were wrong. Brazil needs Neymar on the team. And without him, the attack on Brazil is still good, but they lose their stability. Neymar doesn't have an injury that will sideline him for a long time. There is even a possibility that he could return and play in the world cup itself, let alone in the league. Which means that he will %100 be ready for PSG when they face a bigger opponent.
Maybe the worst case would be him missing rest of the world cup, and not play in a few easy games at first, then 20-30 minutes in other games and then he could play 70+ minutes for PSG when they need him in the UCL, that would be the worst case, and even that's not bad. Better case would be him being ready by quarter or semi finals during world cup, and he would be fully ready when he goes back to PSG.
Now there are two things that can be done. Even playing for Brazil four as much as he can whenever he gets a little bit healthier. Just so that he can play in the World Cup. Which is obviously going to have a devastating effect on his career. And the other thing is going to be waiting to get healthy so that he can play well for PSG in the Champions League. I think he should be wise and choose the letter option. Great football player ok, but I would not have guessed that his absence would be so sought after in a team like Brazil, where each of them are valuable top-level world stars. Luckily his ankle is said to be healed until the south korea game. If he recovers well from injury in the round of 16 and quarter finals for the argentina-brazil semi-finals, he will be immensely important. Also for the rest of the season for PSG. Neymar and Messi proved yet again that they are top of the most important players in the world in this World Cup. Messi gave one of the most incredible, most perfect, most extraordinary performance of the football player I've ever seen in my life. I haven't watched a game where a football player won the game so alone in a long time. There was nothing he didn't do. If he had a talented man beside him like he has in PSG instead of Martinez, he would have scored at least 2 of Messi's incredible passes and finished this match 4-1. These performances make one very hopeful for PSG's future in CL. With a couple of transfers after the WC, they can be maybe the biggest force in CL. PSG is not a favorite team when it comes to the Champions League. We have seen how they have performed in the Champions League previously. Even when they have a good lead, they somehow throw it and get thrashed by their opponent. And that’s exactly what has been happening since the previous few seasons. Last season in the Champions League against Real Madrid, they had a good lead but then lost. And who can forget the infamous Barcelona versus PSG Champions League comeback! PSG is a good team and all, but they are not very strong when it comes to the Champions League. Actually, I am going to say it, they are not going to win the Champions League this season as well. |

- Prison sentences for people getting caught owning BTC, trading it or selling goods in BTC. Penalties so severe that most people will back off. I often hear local media associate BTC holders with criminals and money launderers, and expect governments to treat them as such. Local banks in my country can face penalties if crypto profits are transfered to a local bank account.
That sounds pretty harsh and I wonder if this could be accepted in a fully democratic country. In western nations cannabis is getting legalised, so people getting caught with larger amounts are not facing any prison time anymore. Which would be crazy if then people who own BTC are getting arrested instead. Owning BTC alone should not be a punishable offence, only if the BTC are being used for illegal activities. In my opinion banning crypto currencies outright is never a good solution and will only move BTC transaction out of the government reach. A ban one something never works 100%, there will be loopholes. If I were in charge than I would use taxation as my main tool to control the use of crypto currencies in my country. If the government really wants to reduce the use of cryptos, than increasing taxation would be one option. Like this the government will actually profit of the use of cryptos and still gives it's citizens the option to choose which type of currency they want to use. No country can be called a full democracy, if it is called a full democracy, there will be no laws and regulations. Cannabis is banned because it's addictive and creates social ills, but if it were legal, the government wouldn't be affected too much. But if this is the case with bitcoin, bitcoin is not addictive but will seriously affect the power of the government, so they can still take drastic measures to crack down on bitcoin. I still believe the government can ban bitcoin altogether, but if they do, it won't be in their favor either. Instead of banning, they can regulate and control us through regulations and taxes, precisely what they want more than ever. |

Just purely out of curiosity. 99% of people who don't know how to properly create an airgapped device should be using hardware wallets.
Hardware wallets are considered the safest of all wallets today, but I think many people are used to software wallets and during use they have almost no problems, so they will have no reason to buy hardware wallets. I still use a hardware wallet because in my opinion it is the best way to protect my bitcoins but I have a friend and he is also an investor but he uses Electrum and runs it on a computer without internet connection. He says he feels safe using that storage method and he hasn't had any problems with it since he entered the market so far. I advised him to equip himself with a hardware wallet which would be more secure, he said he would buy but didn't say when. |

Napoli is obviously at the top of the table without any direct competition right now. It is Milan who are currently ranked second in the table, and they have to worry first about the teams that are below them in the standings. Because starting from the second position, the competition gets really close.
What I mean to say is that there is not much difference in points between those teams. I do believe we can also look at this from a positive point of view. If we don't think about Napoli at this moment, we will see that the league is quite competitive. Other than that I think Napoli might also drop in terms of performance. They have a recent history of not performing well towards the end of the season. And if that happens, this league is surely going to get a lot more interesting.
Those who have been following Serie A for some time know this well, usually between the end of the first round and the beginning of the second round many teams drop in terms of performance, especially those engaged in European competitions, it is almost a fact that all the teams coached by Spalletti, after arriving in January, drop in performance and sometimes in a very drastic way, it happened with Roma, with Inter and also last year with Napoli. I don't mean it will necessarily happen, but it is very likely. The 8 points gap from the second in the standings is obviously a comfortable advantage for Napoli, who will surely fight for the Scudetto until the end! I share your thought, from second to seventh position in the standings the advantage points are few and the competition will be fierce, especially for placements that give access to the Champions League Don’t know if it is going to be fair to compare Napoli to what they did in the last season. They did not have a successful performance in the last season. But this season they are playing really well. And even if they do drop in terms of performance, they have a comfortable breathing space of eight points. Hell, just knowing that they have such an advantage entering into the second phase of the season is going to give them good confidence. At the same time, however, it is also very true that the teams that had interference with the European competitions have dropped their performance as a result of their interference. |

Lewandowski was at Bayern Munich for 8 seasons, so it will be difficult for Sadio Mane to reach the game that Lewandowski gave Bayern Munich.
Let's take a look at Lewandowski's first season with Bayern Munich on a free transfer from Borussia Dortmund. He played 31 times and scored 17 goals, now Sadio Mane has only played 14 matches and scored 6 goals, he still has a chance to match Lewandowski's goal or even exceed it in his first season.
This is a comparable game in my opinion than comparing Lewandowski's contribution in his last season to Sadio Mane's in his first.
It seems too fast and the fans' expectations are high for the performance of Sadio Mane because still in the first season and have 15 matches only. I think Sadio Mane's performance isn't too bad, it's just that the fans' expectations are too big and it doesn't give Mane time and space to prove his capacity as the best player at the moment. From 14 appearances with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Sadio Mane has managed to score 6 goals and 3 goals in the Champions League from 6 appearances. I don't think bad performance with 9 goals scored at Bundesliga and Champion because comparison with Lewandowski still need adapted for the first season in Bayern Munich. They Will have to suffer quite a lot because of selling Robert Lewandowski. They basically do not have any player in the team right now who can score goals at any given time in the match. Yes, Bayern Munich said that they will bring good strikers into the team. And who did they bring in? Sadio Mané, who is the winger? This is going to cost them in the Champions League. And they still do not have any striker currently in the team who is actually reliable. I think they will have to be happy with just the Bundesliga title this season. |

The price of Tether (USDT) will eventually collapse, but not now. There are many more things that haven't been audited in USDT, which has caused speculation.
Therefore, USDC exists. Transparency and full backing are the hallmarks of USDC. However, anything is possible now that they can find ways to crash it. If you want to use DAI, you can do so. DAI> USDC > USDT. Yet it's probably not a smart move to invest in stablecoins.
In the past few years, many people predicted USDT would crash, and I still see many people saying the same thing today. However, USDT is still the largest cap and most used stablecoin by far. Honestly, I see all stablecoins as the same, they are not so different, USDT, USDC, or BUSD are all the same. All are equally concentrated and risky, no one is safer than the other. Their mission is to be an intermediary asset to help us access bitcoin easier, they are not an investment, so there is no need to compare or distinguish, they are not suitable for long-term holding. |

Since VCs that invested in Aptos are affected by the FTX collapse do you think that Aptos still have a lot of downsides in near future? With the current high supply and high price I don't think it's a good time to accumulate this crypto project.
the reason why I am not already buying is the high price, 4$ per Aptos still look like a stupid buy to me, what do you think?
I agree with you that the current price of Aptos is not really tempting to invest. I mean you always have to keep in mind, that the team behind Aptos received around 400 Million $ of funding from big VC's. Of course, one of those companies was FTX, but they also got money from Binance and many others. This means hat those big companies are owning a very big amount of the total supply and i think once we have reached a certain price level those bic companies will start to sell of their tokens and they have so much of them that they can really control the price of the whole project for at least a few years from now in my opinion. No, you are wrong. VCs investing in Aptos or any other project will buy at a low price, which can be said to be much lower than the public sale. But they won't get all the tokens at once, tokens will be paid out by the project in installments, which can last up to several years. This is to avoid the case of VC dumping killing the project, and they must be responsible for supporting the project's development. Similar to the case of FTX with Sol, FTX owns 280 million SOl tokens but will be paid between 2021 and 2027. |

I started investing in Bitcoin after the June crash this year and have been buying weekly since.
I now hold 0.07 Bitcoin which I know isn't much but hopefully by the peak of the next bull run I will be holding a lot more.
I am wondering if I should be buying more at these lower prices or if should continue to just DCA weekly.
I think we will have one more crash personally to $12,000 before we start steadily going up again.
Would be interesting to hear everyone's prediction when it comes to how low Bitcoin will go before the next bull run?
I am still DCA every time I have more money because I know bitcoin price prediction is impossible, and there is no guarantee that bitcoin will continue to drop 12k as we predicted. So I recommend you keep using DCA, it's the best we can do not to miss any opportunity with bitcoin. Don't just make predictions but be more realistic, if you compare the current bitcoin price and its ATH, you can see bitcoin is very cheap right now and very good to invest in. |

He is a legendary investor, but that doesn't mean all his predictions will come true. He is just like us, just making our predictions and hoping they will become a reality, no one has a crystal ball to know exactly what bitcoin will look like tomorrow.
Be careful when following news like this, maybe someone wants our bitcoins, they are trying to scare us and sell our bitcoins at a low price. Please do your own research, and never take any advice from the media, it's a great market manipulation tool by the sharks.

Normally I don't like to see any team dominating the Serie A and winning a very comfortable title. Because it just makes that season very boring for the spectators. The season just ends early and you don't experience any exciting race for the title at least between two teams. However we are talking about a probable new champion in the league. I mean that of course Napoli had championships in the league before but it was so many years ago. After all these years they finally have their biggest opportunity.
Rather than seeing Juventus starting to dominate the league and make it boring again, I would just prefer Napoli to make it. They deserve it already now because they have proven themselves worthy for the title by beating every single one of their competitors no matter how strong they are.
excellent observation, winning without many direct opponents for the title makes the whole championship boring, I too hope for the final victory of Napoli in Serie A, they deserve it, Southern Italy deserves it, given that almost all championships are won by teams from Northern Italy, I am very concerned about the recent investigations concerning Juventus Atalanta and Genoa. I think there could be repercussions during the championship Napoli is obviously at the top of the table without any direct competition right now. It is Milan who are currently ranked second in the table, and they have to worry first about the teams that are below them in the standings. Because starting from the second position, the competition gets really close. What I mean to say is that there is not much difference in points between those teams. I do believe we can also look at this from a positive point of view. If we don't think about Napoli at this moment, we will see that the league is quite competitive. Other than that I think Napoli might also drop in terms of performance. They have a recent history of not performing well towards the end of the season. And if that happens, this league is surely going to get a lot more interesting. |
