1781  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: March 05, 2023, 10:23:15 AM
There are no more good expectations about the Bangladesh team. Losing the series by losing two matches consecutively and they also the confidence of the audience. They had some mistakes in the first match but they looked helpless against the England bowlers in the second match. Overall this time is really bad for Bangladesh. There is one more game left in the ODIs where they are most likely to lose. The big failure of the top order is the main reason for losing this series. Especially Litton Das , he performed very badly in two matches.
Currently, England is playing aggressive cricket in all formats and their new approach in this game is surely having big impact on their success and just because of this, Bangladesh was not able to perform better in this second ODI; in first 20 overs, match was well-balanced, but suddenly Roy's attacking strategy works just because of this they were able to have big target on board in this Jason Roy, Joe Buttler and Moeen Ali all were key player after having target like this Bangladeshi batting were under pressure from start which give them big setback from the start of their batting inning early bellows not allowed them to have any aggressive approach, and they lost this second match and series badly.

In recent months, we have big decline in Bangladesh performance while they are having not better domestic setup which allow them for having better players and give their best in all formats of this game if they want to stay in better spot then surely they need to change their strategy in this game.
1782  Economy / Economics / Re: $35 Million raise underway by Hosts of "Bankless Podcast" -to fun Web3 Companies on: March 05, 2023, 04:55:32 AM
Quick news coming from the crypto based podcast named as Bankless Podcast. As unique as it's name is and relevant to the way crypto currenices work with "bank-less" approach, total three hosts from the same has come together to raise around $35 million so that this money can be used for funding the new Web3 based companies and help the community grow further.

Further to this they will also focus on empowering the DeFi porjects. Last year itself they had acquired DeFi software project Earnifi under a newly created vertical called Bankless Labs.

Such fund raising is increasing from the Crypto Space and if money is utilized on proper projects then it can make money projects outstand from the Crowd and focus on newer vertical developments easily.
It is obvious that we are going to get web3 companies a lot higher in the end when they build something great. Hell technically speaking we do not even need crypto for web3 companies to grow big too but it is a good addition without a doubt.

I think it is important to realize that we are in a world that keeps on growing and improving and even if you mock the VC's for investing into something, when it is obvious that you should be investing into them as well, it is wise not to miss that chance, it would be a shame if you just mock about it and not take advantage of it. If I had any money to invest like this, I would look for web3 as well since it is looking like a near futures big deal.
1783  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Willing to invest on bitcoin but having some challenges. on: March 04, 2023, 03:14:39 PM
It will come back to each person's goals because if they really want to invest in bitcoin, they should be able to take the time to learn more and try to apply it through analyzing exercises when investing.

It won't be easy to understand a situation like this but I'm sure that we can understand the market with a will. We don't need to follow like-minded people who want to get rich quickly from crypto because it is very difficult to achieve, especially if we are still in a situation like now. It's better if we learn more, practice analyzing, and try to buy at low prices because when the price goes up, we will definitely get big profits.
That type of understanding doesn't come cheaply though, that is what I wanted to say. It's something that comes with time and unfortunately there are way too many people who have absolutely no idea how any of this works and that causes a bit of a trouble. I know that it is not going to be as easy of a situation as people think it will be, but that is literally the situation we are in right now.

Just buy it when it's cheap, hold it until it goes up, and you will be rich. Imagine all the people who got in during 2018 when it was cheap, waited until 2021 when it peaked, and sold at that time, those people made insane amount of profit and yet not many people take them as an example.
1784  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I dont like predicting btc price or moves but here is what i think i see on: March 04, 2023, 01:14:19 PM
They'd rather keep silent than share their ideas with people who already have a different opinion and their way of trading. Because it was not good to argue who is best or what strategies are really effective as in the end, it only lies in the hand of the trader itself, not the others. If someone gives trading advice, I don't really think it works for them. Not really sure but most successful traders are too humble and they are still learning rather than giving advice to others. They only just come out when proven themselves that they are good and expert in this field enough to educate newbies and those who wanted to learn.
Not everyone is like that, but a true professional trader who actually knows what they are doing will end up sharing their information  for free. Some people in the world are nice, it's their nature, if they see a way to make a profit, they will share it with others so that they could help everyone, that's basically all about that.

I have met with so many helpful people along my journey in the crypto world and all of them helped me see some things differently, some of them were wrong and misinformed and I had to pluck them out of my system, but some of them were super helpful and they did not want anything in return, just wanted to be helpful that's it.
1785  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 04, 2023, 07:02:38 AM
These are tactics to gather more and more people for audiences to attract their interest in WIPL ( cheap tickets, giving tickets for free) as its new   women's will definitely come to watch to support .
This should be a motivating factor for rest of Asian countries to organize their women leagues.
Yes, mostly members here are feeling good tactics from BCCI, but I have feeling they are known how to sell their products because they are already had more than their expectations from media rights so allowing women's free is surely not bad even they can go through with this idea for the next four yeas as well because this will give good encouragement to women's, and they will also have the good number of fans in grounds which will be also good to watch on media.

Now wait is just how things will happen in this first edition because environment is very exciting and players are also desperately waiting for this big movement in Indian cricket history for me in next cycle they will be able to have their figures into INR 1500 crores because exciting is good round for the WPL start.
1786  Economy / Speculation / Re: Expectations for March?! on: March 03, 2023, 09:32:15 PM
I think it is basically just an up and down based on how we try to go above 25k and fail. So, right now prediction is "simple" in the sense that it will go up, and then it will go down, and that's how it is going to be for a long time.

Either we will break above 25k, in which case it will be great for all of us, but if it fails to do that then we are going to end up going to 24k and a bit above, and then down under 23.5k and that type of movement will repeat itself until we move above 25k as well. That's the good thing about crypto, you do not need to know the exact price, just know the movement and the direction it is taking and you could be making a profit from it.
I am sensing that it could finally go above 25k, that's the biggest target right now. I am not saying we "will", all I am saying is that we could, and maybe that will be the expectation for march to many people. I know that it's not going to be easy, but it could finally happen and when that happens I am not expecting it to go down under 25k anytime soon neither.

If we could achieve that, then the price will go up without anyone holding for a while, might go as high as 30k, which will make it a good thing. I can't really say how much time it will require, like maybe in a week, maybe last days of the month, but I sense that it's going to probably happen this month.
1787  Economy / Speculation / Re: How was your belief formed? on: March 03, 2023, 02:48:15 PM
The people who mocked you the most with Bitcoin will respect you again. Just need some time. In every environment there are some people who make negative comments without realizing anything. Many are violent. But keep growing your portfolio regardless of these factors. It doesn't take long time to change the equation with in moments. Take the ridicule behavior positively you get from your friends that would be your savings as well. The most valuable thing ever created on this planet is Bitcoin. We may not appreciate it yet, but there will be a time While possessing a Satoshi would not be possible for many because institutional investors will increase rapidly.
That's exactly what happened to most of us who got in early. Back when I first started, people mocked me and said that it will crash and burn and I will lose all my money, they acted as if I invested into candy, or something silly, but after a while they all started to see the benefit of it.

People who saw me years later all assumed that I was wealthy now because I was invested into bitcoin way before anyone even heard of it, unfortunately I am not Cheesy. Because I wasn't smart enough to have that much, made just a bit, but still seeing all those people who mocked me at one time or another to come around and see how great bitcoin is made it all worth it.
1788  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price guess for March on: March 03, 2023, 10:49:10 AM
If the news is not FUD, the skeptical me is also thinking that because of the timing of MtGox repayments, there might be people who want the market to dump. This is also not the only bad timing. Ethereum's Shanghai update will be on March also. It would be head shaking if they will be scheduled only 1 week apart hehehe.

Ether’s (ETH) price action is expected to be “cautious” until the Ethereum blockchain’s Shanghai upgrade, due later this month, as the market is concerned about a supply overhang, Bernstein said in a research report Wednesday.
I think it wouldn't be really as much as people make it out to be. First of all we are going to see most of them want to get back in, because why not make a good return of your investment with something that both gives you a staking reward but also goes up itself?

I mean the savings account in a bank gives you a return too, maybe even more in some cases, but doesn't go up itself at the same time, in this case ETH goes up AND gives you more ETH at the same time, it is an investment that is amazing, so many will want to go back in. Secondly, even if there were, we are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars worth of bitcoin mined every single day, and it can still go up, so should ETH as well.
1789  Economy / Speculation / Re: will bitcoin go back to 19000 on: March 03, 2023, 10:03:23 AM
Yeah, there are even predictions as high as $50,000 this year and it still makes sense. But to achieved it, there could be swing in prices first, getting to $35k then maybe a dip below and then shoot up.

So more likely the chances are high for Bitcoin to reach $30,000 or higher this year as compare to $20,000 or below.

Let's see, the month is about to end in a week and we could be in the $24,500 price range.
I'm not betting on high hopes about $50K this year, but at least $30K has high hopes to touch. This is not to say that I am not optimistic about the price of bitcoin, but the swings that occurred during the month of February have at least slightly wavered me in optimism.
I think that's the bullish predictions for this year, still though $50,000 might be exaggerated by some analyst, but who knows, this is just like 50% of our current price.
I think you meant 100% of our current price, we would be 50% of 50k right now. I agree that 100% is not impossible in the crypto world, we have seen things go up 10x in a year, going up 2x is nothing compared to that. And I do not mean small cap tokens neither, they can go up 100x or even more, I mean like bitcoin and ethereum and so forth has gone up 10x in a year before, and going up 2x in a year is absolutely nothing.

Having a fear that it will go back to 19k is normal, I understand the fear, but just because one person is fearing that could happen, doesn't mean that market agrees with that, look at how we keep trying to break the wall and go above 25k and you can see the optimism in the market.
1790  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which is currently the best crypto to invest in? on: March 03, 2023, 08:14:45 AM
Most likely the top 10 altcoins, I wouldn't extend the list to top 20 as there could be some chances, top 10 for me might fit the best description to the OP. And obviously, although he is more of asking for altcoins, I think majority will agree to stick to bitcoin itself as the chances are slim that it will fall like the rest of altcoins.

But altcoins like Ethereum, Binance and Cardano is a good bet for me.

Actually I have those, but majority of my portfolio consists of BTC.
I think it is a bit better if you could remove some from top 10, and include some from top 20 instead. Like remove stablecoins easily, and then remove doge and shiba and xrp as well, those are all too risky to invest right now, and then add in stuff like sol or ltc and so forth. That is what I suggest people all the time, there is a reason why some coins are top ranked and that reason is still valid today and would go on for a long time.

Look at ethereum and ltc, maybe apart with 10+ ranks, but they have been here for a decade and that is how it is going to go on for a long time, people should see the reason and invest because of that as well, it is logical to do so.
1791  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What happened to this Eth Investor? on: March 02, 2023, 09:44:16 PM
Satoshi Nakamoto wallet still receives coins from grateful followers, which does not confirm the fact that he is alive. The very fact that the owner of the wallet is alive is the withdrawal of coins from the wallet, which last occurred 40 days ago. Apparently, the owner of the wallet does not need the funds that he has.
This seems like the most probable explanation for the whole thing,  and the owner of that address is probably so rich that they do not need to touch those coins and still enjoy a life of luxury.

The only other options which I can think of is that the holder is incredibly greedy and even that amount is not enough, or they are not interested on spending their coins at all, not the most likely explanation but there are been a few cases of people which have fortunes on the bank and yet they live their life like any other person.
Or alternatively, Satoshi is dead, and that is why we are not going to end up seeing anyone spending. Money going in doesn't mean anything at all, even if they are poor, they may have burned all the access to it and it's gone now, it is just burned bitcoins and nothing more, and you can throw money in there if you want to as well, it means nothing about the owner.

One thing that can change any of this is the fact that if there is any money ever that goes OUT of it, then it could actually start to mean something. Since we know many addresses which we assume is satoshis, and none of them ever moved money out for the past 10+ years, we could easily say it is not an issue at all.
1792  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best practices to prevent hackers from stealing our crypto assets on: March 02, 2023, 08:49:10 PM
Even if there are many methods to avoid harmful attempts your funds/wallets there is no better way that can beat hardware wallets. When you write its seed to paper and put to secure place it just never leaks online.
For exchange side, best method is to never deposit coins there. Exchanges are there to trade (buy/sell) not to use as crypto wallets. I know earn sections are very mouth watering sometimes but there's no better way other than avoiding to hold your coins there.
I would disagree with this, and been disagreeing with it for a long time as well. I keep saying that people were not to be trusted, you are suggesting hardware wallet, but you are downplaying how stupid regular people are, sure you may not be, or maybe I am not, but there are so many idiots out there in the whole world, there are really a ton of people who are too stupid to have their own hardware wallets and I would not suggest that.

At least if they put it on a trusted exchange, the exchange will keep it safe for them, and that would be a lot better for their funds safety. Otherwise, I know people who got their hardware wallets stolen, and "asked for help" by putting their phrases online as a clue to figure out where it is, no moron like that should own a hardware wallet.
1793  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Willing to invest on bitcoin but having some challenges. on: March 02, 2023, 01:48:45 PM
Those who see how bitcoin moves will surely imagine how much profit they will get if they invest in bitcoin or trade. But if they don't want to learn, it won't happen because, to profit from bitcoin, one has to study hard to know how. He should keep investing in bitcoin rather than in tokens or coins that he cannot analyze. But if he already has analytical skills and experience in choosing the coin or token, he can try it and hopefully be able to choose the right coin or token. But for now, investing in bitcoin remains what many people recommend.
Unfortunately there are too many people who do not understand the value of analysis when they are buying something, and many do not even know how to do analysis at all.

This is why I have to say that it is going to suck for a while to be in this situation and I understand that it is not going to be easy to have understanding of how the market works so they need to spend some time studying and many people just want to get rich quick and not want to study, specially during the bull period when everyone around them makes a killing. But, the reality is that you study during bear market and accumulate bitcoin, then when the time comes you could use your knowledge to get richer.
1794  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in Bitcoin by selling wife's jewelry on: March 02, 2023, 01:20:16 PM
whether selling my wife's jewelery and investing on bitcoins makes sense?
Well, yes if you believe it is more wise and profitable to invest in Bitcoin than gold jewelries. However, don't forget the risk associated with it. The reason why it is best to not be too hopeful so it won't affect us deeply just incase what we expected didn't happened.
I do not think that it matters if bitcoin is better than jewelry or not, the only question here is that if your wife would kill you or not Cheesy Any married guy would know that if you do something like this, you are taking an insane risk and if things do not look good for you quickly, then it is going to end up being something horrible.

I know a friend who did it, sold all his wife's jewels and bought bitcoin, and luckily he turned it into hundreds of thousands of dollars and got away with it, but even while it was going up, his wife was mad at him for not cashing out already, he had to take on the barrage of attacks to stay and make that kind of profit. It is really not worth the risk if you ask me.
1795  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Trusts on: March 02, 2023, 09:40:54 AM
I think we cant say passing yo your inheritance secretly isnt legitimate since Bitcoin is decentralized and not property of government though converting it to fiat might require some taxes so its still a buzz fot being legit.

The better way is to teach your children when they become bigger how to use or unlock it on their own so they knew how to get your money when you died or accidentally gone. Or yet tell someone you trusted like close family member to keep that also and give it to your kids if ever something happened on you.
I think it would be legit as long as you pay the tax for it, it's the not tax paying part that would confuse all the trouble. If you leave your children bitcoin, you could just leave the information with your lawyer, and they are bound by law to protect it, and find some super rich lawyer which would not care about stealing your money, and they could just give it to your children when they die, and then your children could cash it out if they want to.

However, "most" of the time when parents die their children are already 30-40-50 years old, sure there are unfortunate cases where parents die when their children is just a child, but aside from those, it would be smarter to give your kids your wealth when they are younger so they could have a good life.
1796  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bold step to invest my fiat in Bitcoin on: March 02, 2023, 07:26:39 AM
Hello guys my curiosity has really gotten the best of me. I was so eager to get involved in the trending Bitcoin currency that is everywhere in my locality. Bitcoin is acceptable in so many small scale business around me in my locality, I mean I had to just ask what was this all about and finally I was introduced here and since my coming I have Learnt alot and still in the process of learning. But I came to understand few things here which gave me the courage to wanting to purchase Bitcoin and keep it so I can see some tangible profit when the price go up .
Well kudos for getting involved of course, but I do not see the point of this topic. I would say congratulations of course, because finally getting into bitcoin after thinking about it for so long is definitely something to be happy about, there are still so many people out there who are not part of it and that's a shame, everyone should be part of bitcoin so you are definitely ahead of billions of people in the world who never had anything to do with bitcoin so far.

But the topic itself doesn't really make sense, is the purpose to get merit or something? Should we just merit you because you got in finally? Or just say congratz is enough? What's the goal here? Cheesy.
1797  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and its power of freedom on: March 01, 2023, 08:44:39 PM
The first impression of btc is that you will get screwed by false people that it is a pyramid scheme. The more you study the net, the more you'll fall in love with it. BTC brings that power of freedom and no totalitarian state is going to take that away! That's my thought today about btc.
Quite interesting to see these topics these days, I can't fully understand why and how these started out, but I am fine with it. Back to freedom part, bitcoin does have a freedom part but I do not care about just the freedom part, it's the decentralized part that matters to me the most.

In fiat world, there is always someone who can freeze your account or cause you headache, the governments, the banks, the companies like paypal, everyone could do it and it sucks and I do not like that. On the other hand, when you are dealing with bitcoin you do not deal with any of this, if it's your money then it's your money and nobody could take it away from you.
1798  Economy / Economics / Re: How is the cost of living in your country? on: March 01, 2023, 02:19:04 PM
When inflation occurs, businesses will also suffer heavy losses, so the possibility of a salary increase is very unlikely. To deal with inflation, with the cost of living rising, do not expect government or company policies to raise wages, instead, find your own way. Finding myself some other source of income, doing more than usual, that's what I'm doing to get through this tough time. I know the government needs to be accountable to the people, but I don't want to sit there waiting for them and do nothing.
I think it is "possible" that the salary will go up, but the purchasing power of it will not. Meaning, if you are making 1000 dollars, and can buy 1000 breads with it, tomorrow your salary could go up to 1100 dollars because of inflation, but then you can buy 950 breads with it because price of bread went up. Now in this case your salary "went up", but as you can see it actually dropped down in purchasing power.

Rest of it I agree with, you should be looking for either an extra income, a good side job that could make you good enough money, or you could what I did, I used to make a lot less, then I found my current job and I am getting paid very well, I am basically rich in my nation.
1799  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you have any financial regrets ? on: March 01, 2023, 01:48:30 PM
I think almost everyone has regrets at some point in their life, especially when it comes to finances. Not buying or selling here or there or investing here or not investing there. Something like that just happens in life and you have to learn to deal with it. As the saying goes, you're always smarter afterwards.

As in your case with the apartment. You may regret your decision today, but who knows what might have happened if you had bought it. Maybe then something bad would have happened and you would regret the purchase.

Therefore, you have to see everything a little more relaxed and should not regret such decisions.  Wink
Oh, the woes of regret! We all carry them, do we not? Whether it's the missed opportunity of investing in Bitcoin or declining the job that could have turned our lives around, we all experience those "what-if" moments. But, truth be told, regrets are an inevitable part of life. We cannot always make the correct choices, and that is alright. After all, "to err is human, to forgive divine." So, instead of ruminating over what could have been, let us concentrate on the present and what it has to offer. In your instance, it is understandable why not purchasing the flat might make you regretful. But what good is it to brood over it? We cannot reverse time and alter the past, so let us look forward to what the future may hold. Maybe something even more excellent is just around the bend!
To be fair my life is pretty good right now, I agree that it would have been awesome if I bought bitcoin earlier, or even kept the bitcoins I had for longer period of time so that I could have profited even more. But none of that changes the fact that I am happy with my life.

Of course bad things happening all the time, plenty of terrible things happened in my life in the past 2 years, but I wouldn't say that it made me sad, I could say that it made me realize how much I love my life and how much I should be grateful for. Bad things shouldn't make you upset, bad things should make you fall in love with life and acknowledge all the good in it.
1800  Economy / Economics / Re: Money is for the important things on: March 01, 2023, 09:18:09 AM

I think health and family come first. However, occasional pleasures are fine as long as they don't compromise our long-term goals and happiness. Materialistic desires like a bigger house or a fancier car may bring short-lived happiness.
But if you don't have money, you don't have health and family. When you have an accident or illness, if you have no money, no one will save you, and no one is willing to donate to help you. And if you don't have money, your relatives, even your wife, won't be able to be with you, and no one will treat you well if you don't have money. Today's society has become pragmatic, everything is measured in money, whoever has money has rights.
That is the unfortunate truth about the world we live in. I do not mean to generalize, of course there are situations where people donate and save someone, or love someone who doesn't have money, or even some people who live healthy lives until 90 years old without having any wealth. These all happen but they are exceptions, and that's why they are pretty rare.

However, if we are talking about the reality, money is the key to life and the more money you have the better life you will have, if you ruin your life even when you have money then it's a bit of your own problem, because money is basically the thing that will make anyone's life better and should be our goal to get as much of it as we can.
