901  Economy / Speculation / Re: The US government sold 9800 bitcoin on March 14 on: April 06, 2023, 01:09:43 PM
Snip
It is important to note that the US government is selling this not because they are bearish on the prospects for Bitcoin, but because the federal reserve is massively in debt. As long as the government doesn't regulate it and destroy Bitcoin and I don't believe BTC can be stopped. Because Bitcoin will always be a valuable asset. The sale of BTC by the US government is not big, it may not even be able to create BTC liquidity so that the price can be cheap, so far the price of BTC has not fallen which is something to watch out for.

What an impressive game from Real Madrid. Vinicius is on a mission for this El Clasico, he seems to have reason to prove it. Benzema was flowing class as usual. But Camavinga is amazing!! So good as an LB, my only disappointment with camavinga playing in that position is he doesn't play in midfield where he is amazing too! Madrid have a gem on their hands!
Fantastic Real Madrid play especially I saw the young Camavinga very solid game he keeps getting better and better in every game and he always gives results in big games against big teams. It looks like he will become a world class player. El Clasico leg 2 is like sweet revenge from Real Madrid after losing a few days ago and Real Madrid is targeting this CDR champion because Real Madrid has not won this CDR competition for a long time.
903  Economy / Economics / Re: Banks are a business, and you are the cash cow on: April 05, 2023, 12:31:51 PM
Banks are financial institutions that play an important role in allocating funds from parties who have excess funds to parties who need funds, as well as facilitating financial transactions between these parties. Banks benefit from the difference between the interest they pay customers who save and the interest they receive from those who borrow money.

Although banks benefit from this interest difference, they also bear the risk of lending and managing their customers' funds. Banks also have a responsibility to comply with regulations set by regulators, such as central banks, to ensure the security and stability of the financial system.

This is the same as loan shark practices carried out by individuals who are not registered and are not regulated by financial authorities, which are often against the law and can cause losses to borrowers. Moneylenders often charge unjustly high interest rates, and may use violence or threats to force borrowers to pay back their money.

Although banks and moneylenders both benefit from interest, banks have regulations and responsibilities to maintain the security and stability of the financial system, while moneylenders often engage in illegal and unfair practices. Therefore, even though we do not like Business Bank because as a cash cow, we are forced to use it. But between the two it is better to use official banking services regulated by financial authorities to be protected by the government.

Tottenham were so bad in this game against Everton that I'm not surprised with the draw at the end. Everton weren't having a proper season already therefore Tottenham should have been able to secure a decent win here. After Everton got a red card Tottenham should have done it already. But they even barely scored one goal. A 1-0 score is always risky you know.

Everton still had a hope for a comeback and they really did it in the last minutes. If Tottenham can't even win a game like this then I'm not sure if they can secure a spot in top four.
the draw against Everton was a huge disappointment for Tottenham and their fans. Even though Tottenham had more possession of the ball, while Everton were still able to create more opportunities and take advantage of one of them to score goals.

Of course, mentality issues are something Tottenham will have to overcome if they want to be in the top 4 of the EPL. But keep in mind that a draw in one game does not always reflect the entire season or a team's abilities. I believe in the next game Tottenham will improve their game. I hope that Tottenham can learn from this draw and continue to try to improve their performance in the next match to win the top 4 of the EPL.

On the other hand, I see that the key for Arsenal to win the EPL is that they can hold Man City and Liverpool to a draw, as well as win against Chelsea at the Emirates in the remaining matches. To be honest, seeing Arsenal's fixtures is a bit tough because in my opinion, Man City is easier to schedule but their focus is divided into 3 between CL and FA cup. It will be interesting to see who will be the EPL champion at the end of the season.
905  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think Bitcoin can end poverty? In a nation today on: April 03, 2023, 09:21:49 PM
Relying on Bitcoin as the only solution to overcome poverty is unrealistic and inadequate. While Bitcoin has some advantages, such as giving individuals more control over their investments and savings, it cannot directly address the root causes of poverty. Poverty can be caused by structural factors such as lack of educational opportunities, economic injustice, and limited access to the resources needed for a decent life.

So it is important for countries to continue to strive to create inclusive and sustainable economic growth through the right policies and initiatives. Initiatives such as increasing access to education, job training, and investing in physical and social infrastructure can help tackle poverty.

In addition, the government can also strengthen social protection systems, such as health insurance and social insurance programs, to help individuals who are vulnerable to poverty. Thus, poverty alleviation needs to consider the various factors that affect poverty, and not depend on just one solution.
906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 03, 2023, 02:23:30 PM
From my personal observation. Man United's problem is that the reserve players are not at the same level as the core players, aka inadequate squad depth, especially in the defensive midfield and centre-back sectors, and do not have the expected attackers. The barren Weghorst and the frequently injured Martial.

From Chelsea itself I really don't like the new owners from Chelsea. And that deserves to be called Todd Boehly's fault because it sounds like he wanted instant results. And that can be seen from the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel, who in my opinion was reckless and chose Potter as a replacement and wasted money buying dozens of players who were not necessarily in accordance with what the coach needed to be able to apply his tactics.
907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 02, 2023, 05:52:54 PM
What a game for Real Madrid, I didn't think that Benzema would score a hat trick and more than 3 goals which is amazing and it's great to see Hazard get that assist. I'm already looking forward to the Copa del Rey game to see both teams beat the league. Even though Real Madrid's victory has no effect on Laliga's ranking, this will be a good capital during the El Clasico match later.
Best performance of the season. What difference does it make when Benzema and co are rested and Rodrygo starts, which takes Vinicius' workload away. Hopefully Real Madrid play with the same intensity in the second leg of the Copa Del Rey and the upcoming matches. And Eden Hazard is back!!! Hope to see him Perform really well and play in UCL and have a big impact too.

Real Madrid played very well today because they know they have been playing badly, they have not played to their standard as far this season is concerned, winning today game with big score margin shouldn't be a thing of surprise, but I like the way they played today, they played like the real Madrid we use to know, but I don't think they can still catch up with Barcelona this season, Barcelona are the favourite to win the League title this season.
I think chasing Barcelona at the top of the table is difficult, but a big win like this is very good for the team's confidence, because in the future Real Madrid will have the UCL. But it's true if this great Performance and all but can we win the game vs Barcelona. Please. It's getting embarrassing now. Beating Valladolid 6-0 to crash out of the Copa Del Rey in El Clasico isn't great.

Jelas itu om harus ada pendekatan yang lebih masif untuk pemerintah dalam memberlakukan CBDC di negara kita, sehingga tidak membuat kegaduhan seperti di Nigeria. Untuk white papernya memenang sudah dirancang pada 30 November 2022 setau saya om, sehingga hanya menunggu implementasi dan sejauh ini belum kita ketahui lebih jauh terhadap perjalanannya.

Sampai saat ini belum ada yang tau sejauh mana implementasi perjalanan CBDC di negara kita, karena masih sedikit sumber yang dapat kita temui, dari penjelajah geogle yang saya cari hanya mendapati sumber dibawah ini, akan tetapi tidak secara jelas di gambarkan perkembangan dan implementasinya

Sumber
1. https://www.kompas.id/baca/opini/2023/01/02/memahami-wacana-digital-rupiah
2. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbcindonesia.com/research/20230201091047-128-409945/bi-bakal-kebut-rupiah-digital-penting-gak-sih/amp
Ada bebrapa faktor utama Kenapa mengembangkan digital rupiah ini lama, yang pertama karena mandatnya undang-undang bahwa bank Indonesia adalah satu-satunya lembaga yang berwenang menerbitkan mata uang di Indonesia. Bank Indonesia melayani kebutuhan masyarakat juga bertransformasi melihat Apa yang dibutuhkan masyarakat di era digital jadi ini merupakan publik bertransformasi pengedaran uang. Sehingga dalam rangka menghadapi perkembangan ekonomi keuangan digital yang semakin terdesentralisasi ini.

dan selanjutnya juga mempersiapkan infrastruktur pembayaran yang lintas negara menghadapi perdagangan dan keuangan internasional di era digital. jadi berangkat dari hal tersebut konfigurasi digital rupiah di bangun dengan tujuan sebagai digital rupiah, sebagai alat pembayaran digital yang sah di NKRI. Jadi memang masih banyak yang perlu di siapkan. Saya pikir tidak usah terlalu terburu-buru perkuat saja dulu sistem keamanan nya, karena orang bisa jatuh miskin dalam hitungan menit karena namanya teknologi pasti akan ada banyak celah yang di manfaatkan oleh para hacker.
909  Economy / Reputation / Re: SBF-Ross Ulbricht on: April 01, 2023, 03:59:46 PM
Basically, both of them deserve this punishment, because many cases related to them have been proven by the parties responsible there, but for the Ross Ulbricht case I don't see justice for a life sentence (death penalty). Despite the crimes these two have committed, I respect the anonymous buying concept developed, but not the crimes they have committed.

The site is run under the pseudonym Dread Pirate Roberts, this name is taken from one of the fictional characters I have seen in various media. This case if studied further is too involved in politics and that is why politics can play a bigger role than the actual reality.
Ross Ulbricht, was arrested by United States federal authorities for allegedly facilitating the sale of narcotics and money laundering through the site. Ulbricht was known by the pseudonym "Dread Pirate Roberts" or DPR in Operation Silk Road.

Now According to a Watcher News report, the US Government Will Sell Lots of BTC. based on the details of the latest court documents the US Government will sell 45 thousand BTC confiscated in connection with the Silk Road. It is known that the US Government is currently the largest holder of BTC, with more than 205,000 coins coming from the confiscation of the case, including 50,000 BTC from the case of James Zhong which was found in a can of popcorn he stole from Silk Road. The sale is planned to be carried out in four phases throughout 2023. Court documents detail that the Government has begun liquidating 51,351.89 of the seized Bitcoins. As of March 14, 2023, the US Government has sold 9,861 BTC, leaving 41,490.72 BTC for sale under the new plan.

This is quite an amazing result. Manchester City is showing that they are still very serious about always focusing on the Premier League. Even though their mainstay sticker cannot play, Pep Guardiola has shown that he still has plenty of other alternatives to achieve victory. This victory can also be a motivation for De Bruyne and friends to continue to stick closely to Arsenal and also become an important capital to face Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Yes, Manchester City did show a very good performance in that match. They managed to win the match with a pretty convincing score even without the presence of their flagship sticker. Pep Guardiola also showed his class as a coach by making the right decisions in choosing alternative players. And this is a good capital to prepare for facing Bayern Muchen in the UCL league.

Quote
The defeat this time has made Liverpool's chances of breaking into the top four of the standings even more difficult and even at risk of not being able to play in Europe next season. This is really a bad achievement for Klopp with Liverpool.
This game showed how far Liverpool have fallen, normally there aren't many goals between Liverpool vs Man City but today there was a gulf. Humiliated by Real, Liverpool also humiliated by Wolves & Brighton, humiliated by Leeds, Forest & Bournemouth. And today Man City swept to slaughter Liverpool. Managerial changes need to happen now at Liverpool. It's brutal just to hope that Liverpool have to have a lot of new players next season a lot of who aren't good enough Henderson also has to go.
911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: March 31, 2023, 08:42:03 PM
I would understand why Saudi teams would want Messi, and I can even understand if he eventually goes there one day, when he gets to be 38-40 range, it wouldn't be a bad decision. I mean Ronaldo made as much money ALL of his career as he did just these 2.5 years, think about how much money is being offered.
The Saudi team dared to bring in star players because they know that if the two star players play in the Arab League then the eyes of the world will be on them. It will make the Arab league even more popular. In addition, players will definitely find money for their old age. like Ronaldo whose salary is fantastic.

Quote
This is why Messi could be making a good amount of money there as well. However, it is not an easy nation to live for non-Muslims, there are a lot of things that is harder to live, like for example no drinking, sure there could be some special places, but you are not going to just go to market grab a sick pack and come back, or no pork, bacon or anything like that, many things are quite different culturally, so it could be very difficult for sure.
I think Saudi Arabia has undertaken major reforms in recent years to make the country more open and inclusive for everyone, including non-Muslims. For example, the King of Saudi Arabia has issued tourist visas which are easier to obtain and allow tourists to visit some of the historical and cultural places in Saudi Arabia. They also introduced a variety of international restaurants, including those serving pork or alcohol, to meet the needs of different travellers. So I think this problem is no longer an obstacle for players who want to play in the Arab league.

Nobody can replace Benzema at Real, he will go down in history as one of their best strikers ever. He has won everything with them multiple times. Salah is a wide forward, he isn’t the same type of player. If Real want to replace Benzema there are only really Haaland and Osimhen who can step into his shoes.
Although no one has been able to replace Benzema's position, it must be admitted that Benzema's age will affect his declining performance. Real Madrid really have to build a new squad for next season, not only strikers, but the left and right full-backs also have to find a replacement or second layer. Because we now know that the weakness of the Real Madrid squad is at the wing-backs, so Real Madrid often concede goals.

Yes, Haaland is suitable to replace Benzeman as a striker. There are rumors that Real Madrid will also sign Man City full-back Joao Cancelo to replace Dani Carvajal.
913  Economy / Gambling / Re: No bet is a waste on: March 30, 2023, 08:06:17 PM
If you are going to trust the game with all your heart and will not expect completely winning then yes there will never be a waste here, because either you win or you enjoy the game.

the only sad thing here is that once the player/gambler wanted to become an instant millionaire and yes this will end in different effect and of course addiction will next to these.
I completely agree with your statement. Gambling is not a reliable way to get rich instantly. Although there are some people who are lucky and win big prizes from gambling, there are only a few of them.

I think gambling is just for fun, but need to make sure we don't spend too much time or money on gambling too often or too much. We must also have good self-control and know when to stop gambling if we feel we have had enough or have lost too much money. Because if you can't control gambling, it will become an addiction for us.
914  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Trust wallet update on: March 29, 2023, 06:49:08 PM
I no longer use Trust Wallet as a wallet after the update request and have switched to Stack Wallet. I last used Trust Wallet on March 10th. On that date I made a transaction by sending some Bitcoin to the wallet, but the process took an unusual amount of time even though I did not change the fee as set.
Of the several transaction processes I did, the transaction on that day was relatively long.
I understand that you are having problems with your Bitcoin transactions while using Trust Wallet. Actually there are several factors that can affect the length of the transaction time. It should be understood that the Bitcoin transaction time depends not only on the wallet used, but also on the state of the Bitcoin network itself. If the network is busy, the transaction time may be longer than usual.

So far I've been safe using the Trust wallet, but your suggestion would also try using the Stack wallet, I'd also like to see a comparison between the two.
915  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your take on the price? on: March 28, 2023, 03:53:14 PM
I have really undermine the price of bitcoin this time considering when I buy at a high price I can't even look at my capital twice because if sometimes I should just stop checking anythiny relating to bitcoin especially internet. What's your take on the price?
When we have bought bitcoin at a high price, make it a bitter experience and of course very disappointing. However, it is important to remember that investing always involves risk, and losses can occur even with the best investment decisions.

I think there are a few things you need to do when you're in a situation like that. Don't let emotions rule your mind. When you experience loss, you may feel upset, angry, or hopeless. However, it is important not to let emotions take over and to think rationally and objectively. Learn from your mistakes because Every failure can be a valuable lesson. Try to evaluate why your investment is not working and what you can learn for the future.

Most importantly Don't panic, Sometimes when the price of bitcoin drops or you experience a loss, you may be tempted to sell assets quickly. However, it is important to remain calm and evaluate the situation wisely before making a decision because bitcoin is a valuable asset for the future so there is no need to be afraid when the price drops.

Media are talking about the possibility of seeing Nagelsmann in Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs are willing to sign a contract with him and it is up to Nagelsmann to accept or refuse the offer. For the moment, it was mentioned that he is taking some time to think about the whole situation but I assume that he is looking for the available offers to decide where to go. Spurs, the team we know, might not enlighten his career...
Nagelsman's departure honestly shocked and saddened everyone. We have to admit that Nagelsman is still young, smart, and rich in tactics. His strategy has proven to be able to send Barcelona to the Europa League for 2 years in a row. Silenced Inter Milan and most recently was able to finish off PSG's campaign in the Champions League.

Hopefully Nagelsman will be successful in the future whether moving in the EPL league or Laliga, but I think Nagelsmann at Tottenham Hotspur is very good.

Welcome Thomas Tuchel I hope your aura in the Champions league shines again this season continue the good work from Nagelsman.
917  Economy / Economics / Re: Money is for the important things on: March 25, 2023, 11:23:02 PM
Difficult economic conditions make us have to use money for things that are important and not wasteful, the mistake of most people today is that it is too easy to buy things that are not needed, they are complacent with the income they get and don't think for the long term, it's time for us to think effectively and productive by saving money in various types of investments.
I agree that in difficult economic times it is important to carefully consider spending money and only buy things that are really needed. This is important to maintain our financial stability and prevent unnecessary debt.

Apart from saving money, investing can also be a good choice for maximizing income and achieving long-term financial goals. However, before investing, it is important to understand the risks and potential benefits of each type of investment.

Before making an investment, it is also important to strengthen your knowledge and understanding of the investment. So that later you don't choose the wrong investment that best suits your financial goals.
918  Local / Trading dan Spekulasi / Re: [DISKUSI] Harga Bitcoin on: March 25, 2023, 10:55:47 PM
Sebenarnya yang jadi pemicu adalah efek dari proses Halving, dimana nilai subsidy (bagian dari reward mining) yang didapatkan peminer saat membuat sebuah Block berkurang sebesar 50%, sehingga disinyalir jika potensi supply turun maka bisa memicu tingkat demand karena faktor kelangkaan. Dengan kondisi tersebut maka harga akan diprediksi mengalami peningkatan, sehingga meskipun proses halving belum terjadi optimisme yang ada dimarket sudah tumbuh lebih dulu, dan situasi ini menyebabkan sentimen pasar menjadi positif.
Namun, penting untuk dicatat bahwa halving bukan satu-satunya faktor yang mempengaruhi harga Bitcoin. Harga Bitcoin juga dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor lain seperti adopsi mainstream, sentimen pasar, dan lain sebagainya. Selain itu, efek dari halving pada harga Bitcoin juga tidak selalu terjadi secara langsung atau instan, terkadang butuh waktu untuk munculnya efek tersebut.

iya, dalam banyak kasus optimisme pasar terkait halving sudah terlihat sebelum acara tersebut benar-benar terjadi, karena para investor atau trader telah mengantisipasi efek yang mungkin terjadi pada harga Bitcoin. Namun, ini tidak selalu terjadi dan pergerakan harga Bitcoin tetap bisa dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor lainnya.


919  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are Crypto Privacy Coins and Mixers Illegal ? on: March 25, 2023, 10:41:12 PM
Not all crypto privacy coins and mixers are illegal, but their use may be viewed as illegal depending on the laws in the respective countries. Although the use of privacy coins and privacy mixers is not directly illegal, some countries have tightened regulations against the use of cryptocurrencies to prevent money laundering and other illegal activities. Some countries even specifically prohibit the use of privacy coins and privacy mixers.

Therefore, it is important for cryptocurrency users to understand the laws in their country and do their research before using a privacy coin or privacy mixer.
920  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: March 25, 2023, 10:03:09 PM
We can see the adoption of Bitcoin by the state of El Salvador as legal tender as an innovative step, but we still need to see if this is a sustainable innovation in the long term. Because the adoption of this technology can be a double-edged knife and there is always a risk of deviating from the original path. Governments need to be careful in their approach to bitcoin adoption, and they need to ensure that their policies and actions are in line with their overall goals and key objectives.

Ultimately, the success of any government policy depends on a variety of factors, including the political and economic environment, the availability of resources, and the ability to adapt and evolve over time. It remains to be seen whether Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador will prove to be a successful and sustainable innovation. I think this is an interesting experiment that every country should pay close attention to.
