101  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin current range: $25K to $32K on: October 21, 2023, 11:58:06 PM
As most users have predicted we'll see the price reach high around $35k as we've got two and a half months to end the year. If some good news as the adoption from corporates happen even this could go much higher. For now the market have turned bullish and in between market fluctuations will continue while reaching price barrier. Good is to make use of the opportunity and increase the holding volume.
102  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: October 21, 2023, 11:50:29 PM
Quitting gambling is easy to say but very difficult to do, .
That's one of the things people fails to understand because is easier said than done, because one thing is telling a gambler to stop and another thing is being able to stop gambling.

There are strong force behind gambling especially if the gambler has gone very dip in gambling, the possibility of the gambling to quit became very difficult because the more you try to resist the more your mindset is telling you to keep gambling that there's a possibility of winning this time and before you no you started again.

So the best way to quit gambling is not by Woking up one morning and decided to quit but instead you could do it by slowly reducing your gambling habit a bit by bit and before you, you have completely quit gambling.
Gambling can't be easily stopped, as said most will say they've got control over their gambling activities. The reality is different and they're completely addicted. Gambling can be kept in control when a person have got strict rules on spending. We should never spend beyond the allocated fund. When this is possible automatically one can stay within the limits unlike the win/loss. Reducing gambling habits is good, but one day we'll surely do the wrong as we had did in the past. Right way is to make our minds consider it as a fun and entertainment spending and not as a source of income.

Cristiano Ronaldo was a perfect player years ago when he was playing in Real Madrid and he was younger but he is not in a good mood anymore and this Ronaldo we see in the Saudi League is far from what we were hoping to see.
Cristiano Ronaldo have earned his moments and glory in European football, moving to Saudi Pro League was whole lots of new experience for him but he was fast to adapt to the pattern of game. Ronaldo is classified as a robot because he's never tired, rather asking to secure a goal for his team. He is one of the Greatest Player in the modern world of football. He's 38 years old and still very much active and competitive as if he was in his early 20s. Ronaldo is strong enough to deliver at crucial moments in Al Nassr, he has been doing it in Europe so SPL won't be an exception for him.
Agreed, every match he had been playing for Al-Nassr we can understand how good he's playing and the way he had got adapted to the team. Every match we were able to experience the quality and the experience. In the match against Damac, the first goal came for Damac at the additional time of first half. This means during the break it was 1-0. Soon after this two consecutive goals came for Al-Nassr from Talisca and Ronaldo. Some other player means they'll pressure themselves, but his experience makes him stand high and confident even at the last minute of the match.

Sri Lanka finally ended up winning one match, but I feel it's too late for them at this point frankly speaking.
The way Netherlands batted and bowled today against Sri Lanka how much would you rate Netherlands at 10? I am happy with the way Netherlands performed today and I will give them 10 out of ten even though they lost against Sri Lanka.  

After Pakistan Sri Lanka this is the only match I have seen in the World Cup where the opposition has won with difficulty. Sri Lanka had to struggle a lot to win this match against Netherlands. Sri Lanka secured victory by five wickets with perhaps ten balls to spare. When West Indies were eliminated from the World Cup tournament, we wondered how a team like West Indies could not qualify for the World Cup and how the Netherlands qualified for the World Cup. Having seen their performance in this tournament, I have no doubts about their performance. Netherlands is definitely a good quality team.

SriLanka won the match today and this is the first match won by Sri Lanka in this ODI World Cup. The best player in this match is Sadeera Samarawickrama from Sri Lanka, he performs very well in today’s match. He is too near to a century but the scores were chased so he can’t be made their century, which was not good for him at least. Anyway, we need to be happy that we found, at least Sadeera Samarawickrama complete half century.

Let’s talk about the bowlers of the Netherlands so Bas de Leede has a good record in the previous matches but in this match, he just did 3 overs and he got too many scores and the captain of the Netherlands team didn’t give him any further overs.
Other than its match against Australia it played really well, but the Sri Lanka team weren't able to make those as win. Finally against Netherlands they've recorded their first win. Even in this match there is struggle. Netherlands is really good with good set of batsmen till the last player. The team had lost 6 wickets within 100 runs and they managed to score 262 runs is really big.

The bowling strategy tried by the Netherlands captain didn't worked. Bas de Leede had got an economy around 10 rpo. Maybe for that reason he couldn't have given the bowling. Just two more wickets could've changed the match scenario
105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: October 20, 2023, 11:56:01 PM
Benzama scored one of his usual goals with a header. He scored his goal in the 22nd minute, it was clear from the previous events that he would score this goal. Then, Al Taawoun scored from a corner kick and the same header, and the goals were scored one after the other. There were many more goals that Karim Benzama could have scored, but he could not score the other goal.

Clearly, a bad result for both teams on the way to the championship is not a score that will please anyone. I guess it was a strange match as Karim Benzama played for both teams today, I don't understand Cheesy

This Karim Benzema we see in the Saudi League is not like the Benzama in Real Madrid and he is not even near to it. Benzama is getting old and he can't have good performance anymore. otherwise, a player like Benzema is a team like Al Ittihad to win the Saudi League title while there is currently a six-point gap between them and first place of the league.

Getting older is clearly visible on the performance, however he isn't down. It looks like he hadn't got enough support to make goals. The competence with the present season is really high. The first position and the third position have got 6 points difference whereas difference between 3rd and 4th position is nil as the points were equal. With the 4th and 5th position there's one point difference.
106  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which is the best crypto exchange for P2P transactions ? on: October 20, 2023, 11:44:42 PM
Which is the best crypto exchange for P2P transactions ?  I am looking for a good alternative to Binance P2P.

I find that if we use P2P of centralized exchanges, it will be more convenient than P2P of decentralized exchanges. In my opinion, liquidity on decentralized exchanges is still not high, I tried once with bisq but finding currency buyers and sellers in my country is quite inconvenient. There aren't too many options for me, whereas on Binance, I can easily choose traders with many different prices.

To be fair, CEX offers a better experience but the issue is privacy and people who don't care about that should stay at CEX. For those who value privacy and identity, DEX is definitely the choice but will be quite more inconvenient than CEX.
Yes, for users who doesn't care about the privacy binance provides with the best P2P transaction. It have got the P2P trade with zero fee which is really good and it is possible to see good number of buyers and sellers which makes trading more easier. Not every centralized exchanges provide with the best experience, binance is good in it. Over time binance had been adding more and more features enabled to the P2P transaction making trading simple.

Earlier majority of the people prefer localbitcoins and the shutdown is completely unexpected. Even myself use it, now while checking the price and the profit margin between the two platforms binance is very competing with better price and margin.
107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Much do you Value your Privacy in Gambling? on: October 20, 2023, 08:42:38 PM
If the terms and conditions state the KYC of all levels to be verified, then I'll do it. If they hadn't mentioned anything on the terms and conditions, all of the sudden if they request for fulfilment of all levels of KYC then I'll think twice. However when big money awaits surely I'll complete the KYC to cashout the winnings.

If you ask the question to the gamblers for their reason to use cryptocurrency into gambling. The prime reason will be the privacy as most of the people who gamble doesn't want things to be exposed to the outer world.
108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: October 20, 2023, 06:45:40 PM
OK... you mentioned Netherlands in your post. That's why I got confused. But Nepal's performance was quite disappointing. I can agree with that. I expected them to qualify for the Super-6 at least, but that didn't happened and their sole win came against the United States. Anyway, after this tournament, they put up a good performance against India in Asia Cup (although it was after suffering heavy defeat against Pakistan). Anyway, I have high hopes for this team. They are a very young squad and they will improve from here.
By the way tomorrow again Nepal and Hong Kong will play the third match of Nepal Tri-Nation T20I Series. And again I'm sure that Nepal will win. But these are small teams as you mentioned in the previous reply. Nepal deserves to play with top teams. Than they will be able to get experience and play much better.
Nepal is getting better in performance, and it needs to gain experience. When playing with teams performing better, it'll make them better than before. Nepal doesn't get much opportunities, and it is the responsibility of ICC. In the Asia Cup Nepal got an opportunity to play against India. We don't know further when they're going to play against a full member.

Adam Zampa destroyed the Pakistani batting line up, he took all the important wickets of Pakistan. Another defeat for the Pakistani side with very poor batting performance. The whole team depends on the batting of Babar Azam and Rizwan. If these two are not able to score good runs then the batting line up always collapses. As seen today, Paskistan got a good start but were not able to capitalize it after Babar got out. A great comeback by the Australian team as this win will help them on the points table. They are now on the fourth place on the points table that will surely boost their morale.

Once again Pakistan batters failed to show aggression. Both Imam and Abdullah gave a good start but they both scored with run a ball. Imam ul Haq was opener yet he failed to produce any 6 in his whole innings. It seems that players like Imam, Rizwan and Babar are playing to improve there stats and they don't have any interest in team victory. Pakistan with this defeat now slipped to number 5th spot while Aussies are now at 4th spot.
The openers have created good partnership and the first wicket fell at 134 runs. At the start of the innings it is a must to stand wicket and the openers did it well also the scoring isn't bad. Further the players could've managed to perform well, instead the wickets kept and at some point Pakistan team gained stability and the same is being crashed by the bowling of Adam Zampa. More 27 balls left when Pakistan lost the entire wickets. This is common with most of the matches played by equally strong teams to have the required runrate of 12 rpo at the end overs. Here also same thing happened, but the mistake is with the players losing wickets.
110  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should I invest in new projects. on: October 19, 2023, 11:59:22 PM
you should invest to new project but atleast wait 1-2 year after fully shakeout and hitting the bottom, dev still fully cash, and it will pump atleast once
mostly the first wave of rising is pushing really hard and burning almost half of their stash lol, old coin fairly limited budget and the coins it self already spreaded among bag holder,

Just to know the fact that most new projects turn to a scam after pre-sale, after people buy them. If we are really going to see the reality of the market, investing in new projects is a big No No. Unfortunately, a lot of people got fooled by this - "you can earn XXX by investing in their project". There is temptation in the market which is why many people get scammed.

Yes, it is better to invest in those projects that established a community and the reputation is good already for this will be our assurance that we are investing in the right and promising project, not shitcoins.  
As said there are good projects that are well established and have good team backing and support. When we're new to the cryptocurrency market, we should not engage ourselves into those kind of projects. If the users had disappointment, then it could result in negative opinion over the entire cryptocurrency market. This should not happen.

Very few among the number of projects launched gets successful. We can't find the success project easily, overtime we'll get to know which is better and which couldn't grow to some extent. With the available knowledge we can predict and beyond that it is our luck that decides the success with new projects.
111  Economy / Economics / Re: Women are more economical than men. on: October 19, 2023, 10:46:49 PM

It's important to avoid making generalizations about the abilities of women and men as managers based on spending habits. Management skills and abilities vary greatly among individuals and are not determined by gender. Effective management is influenced by a range of factors, including education, experience, leadership qualities, and personal preferences.
Was about to say this, I don't think that there's a point in saying who's more economical of the two sexes. Habits are a universal thing and it just so happens that sometimes one gender are doing it more compared to other but that doesn't mean that they're the worse, I mean the debate and statistics misses the point, that there's a lot of men and women out there that's are bad at managing their money and in the end we are focusing on the wrong thing.
I think that the OP made a mistake about trying to carry out generalizations. Statistically and research wise, there are different skills that women are better at handling than the men and vice versa but whatever it is that is can be learnt should not be generalized. Like saying that women are better at handling and keeping money . Totally incorrect. This has been learnt and reinforced overtime by mothers to your daughters so that is why you would say that you're more economical than men. Men can learn too how to be economical.
Men could learn easily to be more economical, whereas with men it is kind of inborn thing. Most have come up with the statement based on the real life experience. Maybe this could be different on the corporate level or with the institutions. This isn't generalization, it is all about Women taking additional responsibility to support the family. A simple thing Women used to save small amount from what is given for the household expense. When her man is in need and he looks for borrowing, she supports with the amount saved. This is also kind of being more economical.
112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think? Selling all or not on: October 19, 2023, 07:49:50 PM
Everyone is holdle bitcoin in the bear market and planning to sell in the bull market, now, when finally, the bull market  comes should I sell all my bitcoins and prepare to accumulate from afresh in the next bear market again? or should I keep some percentage to continue the accumulation?
There is no guaranteed advice here, you make the decision and it should be in the core of the initial plan. Apart from that, you should also have an optional plan to deal with your doubts.
It is clear that Bitcoin will experience several more bear-bull market phases in the future, the question is whether you are in a profitable position or not.
It is very important for us to make decisions on our own not seeking for other people's advise to follow because we all are simply different from each other. If you anyone thinks that selling is the best decision for them now that the market is down, if there is a good reason to back that decision, that could be absolutely better than just taking a step of selling just because we feel like selling our holdings. There are big investors that might decide to sell part of there Bitcoin holdings for business reasons and that do not mean that are will be in loses. There are people that had been holding Bitcoin for long when the price was $8k and selling now is still profitable.
Crypto Market is volatile and we don't know about the market movement next minute. As said different users have varied thinking and the same could cause difference with the earning out of the market. If an user had followed the suggestions from a person and if that hadn't profited him, then this could be hurting the user. If the same decision is made of his own, then this could be a learning. Over the last few days there is good rise in the price of bitcoin and we can't be judgemental whether it is pure bull market or not.
113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: To protect consumers, Australia has introduced new regulations for cryptocurrenc on: October 19, 2023, 07:37:36 PM
Instead of preventing citizens from using cryptocurrency, it is always better to implement a clear regulation. So it would prevent their citizens from losing funds from unexpected incidents. When the government regulates exchange, they will allow exchanges that follow government rules. That's how we would create a reliable crypto atmosphere. If the exchanges comply with regulations from the beginning, then they don't need to encounter legal action later. So I think the Australian government is making the right decision.
Not every country does it, prioritising the people's interest and making regulations is positive way of approaching cryptocurrency. Most of the countries look for the opportunity to restrict people from cryptocurrency usage, and Australia have got different view in it. Even in gambling this country is different as it looks for the goodness of the people. The country have restricted usage of credit card for gambling understanding this could lead to addiction easily.

India vs  Bangladesh
Exactly the Indian team is good but thing is that if Netherlands can win from South Africa and Afghanistan can win from England so here in these matches anything can be possible. Bangladesh can win from India too. I am saying that just because of the current situation. By the way India is good team and has ability to win this match easily. So let's watch who will win the match today. Smiley
Yes, the situations could change the match towards any team. The results of Netherlands and Afghanistan were completely unexpected as the teams South Africa and England were in good form. Four times India played against Bangladesh since 2019 ODI World Cup and in 3 matches Bangladesh have won and India have won in one match. Based on the results India could've been the underdog, but the odds are India @1.11 and Bangladesh @5.90 Grin. Lots of twist and turns can be seen with nagini dance.

The main reason is the hope of winning. My last week payment was wasted within few rolls and my week's work isn't useful for me. This happened all because of my hope to turn the money big. With the wallet balance of 0.0023BTC started to wager on dice. Luck was in my favour and it started to grow and at some point it touched 0.006BTC which is really good. I stopped and further my mind said its winning streak and I continued. What happened I lost everything, so it is all about the circumstances and the thought that arises leads to loss of gambling. Maybe if luck had favoured my win could've got continued.
116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: October 18, 2023, 11:58:17 PM
After winning the toss, Afghanistan opted to bowl that was good decision but their bowlers tried hard but could not stop the run rate. Due to which New Zealand reach their desired goal. Afghanistan bowlers performed very well in the last match they got almost all wickets there but the result of today's match is also different. On the one hand they have not bowled well and on the other hand they have failed to chase. Rashid Khan Mohammad Nabi None could do well according to their merits. Due to which Afghanistan saw another defeat.
Afghanistan bowlers bowled well and they didn't give a chance to New Zealand to go above 300 runs but Afghanistan batsman didn't play well and they got out on 139 runs which is showing that Afghanistan needs more attention on the batting line. This is showing that Afghanistan will be out from ICC World Cup.
I didn't understand that Afghanistan team would bat so badly. I thought Afghanistan team might perform well in batting and win the match but they lost because of their poor performance. New Zealand team was very strong in bowling line which is why today's match was so easy.  New Zealand team won.
New Zealand is a much stronger and more reliable team than Afghanistan. We have seen that in 2023 World Cup New Zealand and Afghanistan played 3 matches each where New Zealand won all 3 matches. Afghanistan on the other hand won only 1 out of 3 matches. In today's match, I already thought that New Zealand will beat Afghanistan very easily to win the match. Because Afghanistan's performance is very weak in this World Cup. New Zealand lost the toss and went down to bat with a very good performance and collected 288 runs with the loss of 6 wickets in the scheduled 50 overs. On the other hand, the target of 289 runs given by New Zealand, Afghanistan lost all the wickets and collected only 139 runs. In this match, New Zealand won by 149 runs and moved to the number 1 position in the points table. New Zealand is currently the number one team in the points table and is a very suitable team for this World Cup final.
No doubt in it. New Zealand is better than Afghanistan in all means, and we were able to see it in today's match. At some point Afghanistan got an opportunity as New Zealand lost early wickets. The partnership between Latham and Phillips saved the team reach better score and win the match. If one of them had fallen earlier, surely this could've been a struggle for New Zealand and the scoring could've been stopped within 250 runs. This might have turned a close match as Afghanistan would be with less pressure while chasing.

Beginning days of gambling were known by my mother. During those days I used to show her see what I've won and I remember mentioning about the VIP bonus provided on reaching bronze or silver. See they've given me reward just for using their platform. Those are my winning days and soon after that I started to loss and I don't had earning. By the time my mother understood and she never said anything, but when there is need for emergency money she says go loss everything and now look for borrowing.

118  Economy / Economics / Re: Marriage mean double your passive income, rental property mean double your passi on: October 16, 2023, 05:50:31 PM
In a third world country marriage itself a big expense. In my locality rich parents used to organise the marriage of their kids in a much grand manner. The same is followed by the common people, in particular the middle class people. Here these people get like loans and out of debts organise the marriage in a grand way. This makes the marriage itself a money associated thing. In my locality the guy used to work hard and make enough money to meet the marriage expenses.

Marriage in relation with finance is the mutual contract that makes two persons of to get united. Both of them used to share what is available with them and help each other in each and every decision unlike the earning capability. This is the real definition, but not many follow it, as the earning gives both of them individuality and independence.
119  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Evolution of Money: From Barter system to Bitcoin on: October 16, 2023, 04:45:48 PM
In my opinion, bitcoin is not a successor to fiat currency because basically bitcoin is the antithesis of a centralized fiat system. Bitcoin is a big vision and a form of resistance to the centralized fiat system and criticism of fiat money which is always printed continuously.

Bitcoin was not just born, but before the birth of bitcoin there were already groups that criticized the fiat system and wanted a new system that was decentralized and where ownership was in the hands of the community themselves and no one could intervene. This community is called cyberpunk. Bitcoin has high value because bitcoin is a symbol of freedom
Bitcoin is developed as an alternate to the fiat system used all around the world. Satoshi as a group/individual found this to be something necessary to cut the middle man. He created it for some purpose and it had got used in multiple ways. Before the innovation of bitcoin there were people who are looking for such a decentralised asset and even few others existed and none stood long in the market. As the other innovation doesn't get recognition earlier, bitcoin too didn't got good acceptance. Slowly the progress have taken place and now it have given new dimension to the term money.

The 5 match T20 series between South Africa Women and New Zealand Women have come to an end. The series have ended in a tie 1-1 as the last match is won by South Africa Women by 11 runs. New Zealand Women have won the toss and decided to bowl and South Africa Women have scored 155 runs. Wolvaardt, Brits, Bosch and Luus had contributed good. For New Zealand Women Tahuhu and Penfold took 2 wickets each. New Zealand Women started to chase the target in a much comfortable way as Kerr scored 61 runs and Bates scored 45 runs. Further consecutive wickets fell and the pressure helped the bowlers take advantage. Klaas and de Klerk took 3 wickets each and New Zealand Women team was able to reach 144/8 by the end of 20 overs.

Meanwhile I would like to share the image of the scoreboard between Argentina Women and Chile Women of the 3rd and final T20 match. Argentina Women team had scored 333/1 and Chile had scored 22 runs, out of the 22 runs 21 runs have come from extras and player named Emilia Toro have scored a run.
