2521  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: September 25, 2022, 08:15:05 PM
We have seen 3 competitive T20 matches today. India has won by 6 wickets. It took 19.5 overs for them to chase the target. India has won the series by winning the 3rd T20. Suryakumar Yadav has done the main job today, but Kohli played a supportive innings and contributed to the win.

Pakistan has won by 3 runs only. It was an unfortunate situation for England to loss the match. The 7 match series is leveled now.

Bangladesh has won against UAE by 7 runs only. UAE is a weak team, but they had created pressure on Bangladeshi players. For a while, I thought that UAE will win the match.
Now we have just 20 days left in T20 World Cup in Australia, so all teams are preparing for this mega event and having their best players in business just because of this today we have three matches on different places with quality teams are giving their best first match which was played between Australia vs India both were on level and have good result at the end with Kohli is done good job and give another good winning stand with first SKY and then Hardick Pandya in second match which was played in Dubai surely another exciting end even no one was sure UAE will do performance like this until last over both were in and then 20th over which was bowled by Shoriful Islam 3rd and 4th deliveries give win to visitors after tense match.

Last match which was played between Pakistan vs England was surely one of the most tense as in last over Pakistan win by just three runs, and I am feeling this was blunder by England because they can win this easily, but suddenly they were in hurry and lost three quick wickets which give home side win and now series is level.
2522  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: regulating cryptocurrency on: September 25, 2022, 05:40:02 PM
since the beginning, cryptocurrencies were created. Also the initial founders, especially bitcoin, were created, not for institutions or agencies. Because in order to fill personal and anonymity gaps, of course the above providers require transparency of customer data. Indeed, I personally don't like it. And it's not safe. .
I feel that if crypto is meant to be like that, maybe the government will intervene with it. But gradually some countries are adopting this blockchain. And it is possible that awareness of this technology will continue to increase. Although there are also some countries that openly prohibit their citizens using cryptocurrencies. yes this is how government officials in a country judge from an economic point of view, investment or transaction tools or even just an unexpected view
Governments have every right to care about what you do with it, not how it is ruled. Bitcoin for example cannot be changed into another chain by a government, they could try to do their own fork if they want to but that will only result with nobody caring about it. That's why I would highly suggest not caring about what regulations are saying, if you do not get out of crypto that quickly, it doesn't matter to you at all and you shouldn't be investing into it at all.

I would honestly say that it would be a smarter idea to invest into something that is not controlled by the government and you could do whatever you want with them as long as you do not get out.

It will only make us stressed and make wrong decisions if we think too much about other people's predictions,  which are not necessarily accurate predictions of others. We just focus on the results of our own research and analysis, because in the crypto world the most trustworthy are ourselves. It doesn't matter if our predictions are wrong and it turns out that Bitcoin has dropped to the price of $10k, we don't panic if that happens.

Sometimes it's normal for Bitcoin to move differently from our expectations. We only need to hold the Bitcoin we have until the price recovers and rises again, because if we study the history of Bitcoin movement, we will know the fact that every time the price of Bitcoin falls, it can always bounce back to a much higher price. The most important thing is never to sell the Bitcoin that we have at a low price, as long as we have not sold the Bitcoin that we have, even though the price is down, we haven't lost. But based on my analysis, it doesn't look like Bitcoin will drop below $18k, this means that buying Bitcoin at the current price includes buying Bitcoin at a low price.
Yes, if we keep trusting what others are doing then we are going to end up being unhappy about it at all times. It's wiser to make sure that we end up with something of our own, that way we could end up with a good return and if we ever make a mistake then we could learn from our mistakes as well and make a better return.

This is something that could be improved upon, it could be something that we could perfect in the long run, that is why it's much more important to make a change in the person trading with learning at the same time, and study. If we just get the results from someone else, if they are wrong, we can't help them get better for the next time.

Juventus may be interested to sign Conte as the replacement for Allegri but I doubt Tottenham will allow him to leave. Since Conte managed Tottenham, there is a good improvement in this club performance. Tottenham management must try to keep Conte, they will offer an extension for Conte's contract. And I am sure Conte probably accepts the extension to ensure Tottenham plays well until the end of the season. I don't think Conte to leave what he just begins in Tottenham.

Juventus is better to look for another option to replace Allegri. The chance to sign Conte seems rather small.
Even things are not good in Juventus but still there is no fair chance for sacking Allegri and bringing new coach because few days back Juventus management already announces they have faith in him, and they are looking for positive development in coming weeks which is good decision from them because sacking coach in hurry is never been bringing positive results.

Conte is not leaving Tottenham until end of this season with this most chances if Juventus management feels to have some changes then surely they will do this all at the end of this season with there could be some more options also available but right now doing like this is surely more mess up not good for team as we all know having extension was Conte's decision, so he will not leave just after few weeks of this season.

Surprised to see new players popping up for England as well, Ben Duckett and Harry Brook took England to victory with their innings and i expected Pakistan to give a tough challenge this time as well but England bowlers were able to pick wickets at the right time to break the momentum.
In upcoming world cup England is going to be good side with their current strength because they have enough youths those are capable of giving their best specially in this format and as they are playing in this series it's good because most of the players are having good experience for playing into PSL and this is helping them for having good results in this series which is currently going to be very exciting after third match won by England very easily after setting target of 221 for Pakistani batting lineup which badly fail to have any impression while chasing this target.

But, good thing happen for them Shan Masood done good job in middle order, and now they can feel better because they have serious concerns about their middle order and now with him, it's much better for them to improve their batting strength in coming matches and specially for World Cup which is now just after few weeks going to play in Australia.
2526  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What amount of fiat and/bitcoin would you consider safe holding in a bear market on: September 23, 2022, 06:44:21 PM
That's actually the best course of action to do when you're waiting to get BTC in a lower price and try to DCA as fast as you can before the price bounce back up a few hundred dollars or a grand.
There a bit difference between holding a fiat and a stable coin thought they ultimately have similar value all the time, but fiat can't buy Bitcoin or any altcoin right away when you see a good entry point. With crypto's high volatility, it is possible to miss a good dip when you got a fiat converted into Btc or stablecoin.
And one last thing, I agree to both of you that keeping/saving a fiat won't save you even a few cents in the next coming years. I'd also suggest to buy properties and invest into real estate, it's safer than all of the investments in the market today. But if your risk appetite is in a tremendous level, then better invest in Bitcoin as well. 
Honestly I would not put that much on stablecoins, 45% seems a lot. I try to keep it as "income" and that's much better for me. That way I know when to invest and when to wait, and my income makes sure that I could invest a lot more if I want to, and not invest if I do not want to, makes a lot more sense.

That is what salary gives you, an unlimited amount (unless you are fired) of back to back investments, you could invest this month, but can invest in October too, then on November too, then December, so if the price is low you keep buying at lower prices. I understand putting a bit aside, so if I do not want to, I put it on stable, and invest double next month.
2527  Economy / Speculation / Re: All Eyes On Bitcoin’s Monthly Close on: September 23, 2022, 02:04:21 PM
Monthly chart we have been sideways since June, lots of movement but net result just sideways drift mostly which is how I would view 2022 in any case.  To be positive now needs BTC price action to recover the mid August lows, we are above the 2 day average there is some short term positivity but ultimately we are on a giants causeway its just I cannot trade monthly bars as thats for the larger trade and hold to consider.   Since this is the speculation part of the forum normally we do look at something closer to weekly bars and how we will resolve each week, for now we are in recovery and about 21k is quite important to regain and hold.
Yeah true, in fact since the luna deal happened we have been going between 18-22k, sometimes we go above but usually we are around those levels, I do not think that we are ready to move anywhere else just yet. I am not saying that it will be gone forever, all I am saying is that we shouldn't expect it for the time being, we could stay here for a longer term for sure.

I believe I will hold more and more bitcoin for a longer term, I just do not feel comfortable with checking the prices every day since it doesn't make sense for a long term investor like me, so I am not a good source of decision, but it doesn't look like it is going to move big anytime soon.
2528  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: ETH/BTC, what does it reveal to you? on: September 23, 2022, 01:35:03 PM
In trading when I see that pair, the first thing that comes to my mind is "old school".
Nowadays, it won't be easy to use that pair as a trading substance. It requires a deeper analysis of the market unlike using pairs of BTC to stablecoins and the same with Ethereum and USDT, BUSD, or what you prefer.
It's profitable because of the recent big waves but you have to know what you are doing or you will end up losing more.
I don't go near that kind of pair anymore but instead, use the easier path.
Old school is not always bad, there is this settled understanding in eth/btc pair that makes sure that people understand it because it has been like that for a long time. With this merger and other business it may look like it's corrupted a bit, but the understanding is still there, which is btc going up first, eth going up because of that but the pair lowering, and then when btc stops eth starting to go up because of that because people going into alts and ETH is a big part of that world.

So, basically it is a sorting type of deal, you first get into btc, then into eth and the pair is making you double profit that way, if you are at btc first then at eth, you could end up with more of them both at the same time when it's all done, but this requires bull market of course.
2529  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which altcoins will not survive the bear market? on: September 23, 2022, 12:27:00 PM
it's a open secret here in crypto market that those developers are just for pure money grab. They will create a meme coin, then market it here or somewhere else, wait for investors to come in. And when the time is right, they are going to sell their shares without anyone noticing it.

And it's going to continue, despite this bear market, there are still a lot of alts that will be born this way. Just like for example, when the Queen of England die, maybe meme coins pop up and supposedly to give respect to her. But it's not the case.
That is not even a secret anymore, there are too many projects that people created just to make money and unfortunately it doesn't even bring anything new to the table neither.

I understand paying the developers if they are doing something that enhances crypto world, if they find a way to build something that is brand new and improves a lot then it would mean that even if the token fails, that means we have a new tech left and that is why paying them would make sense, you may or may not lose money but at least crypto got a little bit better thanks to that. However, there are literally copycat versions and boring tokens that gets paid as well, which is sad.
2530  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How I feel about play to earn games on: September 23, 2022, 10:53:33 AM
Almost every play to earn game I've seen has had some issues which made them not worth playing. A lot of times you need to invest a significant amount upfront and there is no guarantee you will be able to recoup this. When these games become really popular they get flooded by bots who overwhelm the game servers and cause a lot of inconvenience to real players. The bot owners will cash out their tokens as quickly as possible and end up tanking the price.
That's the problem we are facing right now, the play to earn games are not made to be played on the long run, it was made to make money to the creator and that's why they are thrown together too quickly. Reality is that if we managed to build something that is risky, then we are investing into something risky as well, creators are making games that are half finished, or maybe not even finished.

Look at Star Citizen, it collected so much money, insane amount of money so far and they do not even have a game, they have some trailers which I can build for under a thousand dollars, which means that people are investing into thinks that are troubling at all.
2531  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Microstrategy purchased again 301BTC. Is this a sign? on: September 22, 2022, 09:09:01 PM
They always buy bitcoin every time it dips, and that's not even guarantee that the Bitcoin's price will go deeper, maybe it is the other way around, it'll pump but not an indicator of a continuous bull market. The biggest advice is that always trade with precautions, don't get easily baited by FUDs and just sell your coins because of having a panic.

Here's their purchase history.
Buying bitcoin when it dips is a very very smart decision and this is a proof of that as well. It's clear that if you do not know what you are doing then you would be selling when it crashes, but that's clearly a mistake because you are selling it when it is bottoming out.

If you want to make a profit then you should be investing when it is at the lowest point, which is right about now. FED gave us a gift, you could be worried that it has been nearly a year since it dropped from ATH and worried that it may "never" recover but the reality is that we are getting there, it is going to be higher. We could never know when it will go up, but it will, and when it does, buying at low will look like a steal.
2532  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How mentally prepared are you? on: September 22, 2022, 05:50:42 PM
A true newbie, i.e one that hasn't invested in Bitcoin or stocks before is going to have a fun time. Espeically, if they've over invested. Although, that's usually not the case. As a newbie you're usually a little bit scared to dip your feet in, even though you're sure that Bitcoin can help your current situation. It took me a long while before I built up that mental fortitude to be able to keep invested, especially when we've taken big dives.

The price barely effects me these days. I'm not concerned in the slightest, and I've accepted whatever will be, will be. Ultimately, if you don't invest in Bitcoin you have to rely on a third party to manage your money or be severely limited to only local transactions with cash. Plus, you're very likely going to be in the rat race until the day you die, with Bitcoin, and the way it can move up, and down quite significantly you have a chance of potentially earning some money you otherwise wouldn't with being invested solely in fiat.

So, taking all that into consideration, newbies should develop their mental game over a few years, usually. Although, investing small amounts is definitely the best way to show what you've been missing out on, but also not become to effected with the swings.
That's the thing about newbies, they are both more brave when they shouldn't and end up getting lucky, or they should be happy to join in and they do not because they do not know what they are doing.

It's not an easy decision because it does get to a point where you can't make a decision just yet, it's going to be something like bitcoin going up and you should join and veterans would be careful about a bull trap, whereas people who are newbies would join anyway, and if the price actually does go up, newbie would be right, but in the long run veteran would make more profit after a few years. That's why it's not always a guaranteed way of trading, and mentally it's important to be ready for the long term.
2533  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Price prediction based on Fed's decision T/F Price analysis? Possible? on: September 22, 2022, 05:30:51 PM
Bitcoin speculators consider a lot of factors which probably include the Fed's big decisions to strengthen the USD. We need to remind ourselves that Bitcoin is already a mainstream investment option and a significant number of Bitcoin investors are the same people who are playing in the traditional market. Bitcoin isn't anymore a very radical option these days. Many Bitcoin investors are the same people that give weight to the likes of interest rates.

But then Bitcoin isn't a US currency. It's a global currency and asset. The Fed's decisions can't be made as a determining factor. It's just one among many factors.
This is especially true when we are talking about whales, it could be people or it could be hedge funds or corporations and we can easily say that they are part of everything and not just bitcoin. They spend billions on bitcoin but they also spend billions on other things as well, have investments probably all around the world too.

That's the reason why we are talking about something so major, it is going to allow people to make sure that they are involved in something that billionaires are part of as well. This is a good thing, for the first time ever they can't cheat their way out of a system, they will earn as much percentage as we do, or lose as much as we do.
2534  Economy / Economics / Re: Will crypto jobs make government jobs irrelevant in the near future? on: September 22, 2022, 04:16:05 PM
Currently the daily transaction volume of cryptocurrencies is very large and a positive thing for the government to its citizens, there will be many benefits that can be obtained, for example reducing unemployment, when many types of investments die due to the pandemic but the cryptocurrencies industry continues to move positively until now.
Unemployment is a great angle if you look at it that way, this means that thanks to cryptocurrencies more people will either have an income or a profit and they will not need to work and others could work instead, which yields a bigger net of people who would be paying taxes in order to continue living, and that brings in more money to the government as well.

I am not saying that we should have just all people working towards this situation, of course there could be some sort of situation where we do not end up being that great, people who lose a lot of money for example would be burden, but at least the potential is there, and should be taken full advantage of.
2535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to choose an online casino? on: September 22, 2022, 10:32:33 AM
People spend their time and money differently. Spending at the casino is not the worst way, because there is a microscopic chance to win, compensating for this time and money costs. If you enjoy this process, then it is no different from other pleasant activities. Someone enjoys visiting clubs, someone racing cars, and someone gambling. In each case, moderation is necessary, otherwise it will cease to bring pleasure, and then there is no point in doing it.
Yeah, it depends on the person. If you have a control when gambling and only see gambling as a way to get entertained then you won't think that you spend your money in a worst way. If you think the chance to win in gambling is too tiny then why waste time and money trying? But, I think it will also depend on the game and the odds you set. You cant always say that there is only a slim chance to win in gambling.

But still, this topic is about choosing an online casino, and therefore, I want to say that OP can find out about the best casinos in Gambling section and you to pay attention to those casinos in the topic of which there are the most discussions.
And that section can be found here. Ann threads with most discussions are not an indication that a casino is the best, 1xbit for example. They already have 296 pages and over 5k of replies but most of it are just a complain about how scammy they are.
2536  Economy / Economics / Re: Going to war means let's ulter the economic progression on: September 21, 2022, 09:18:30 PM
The war could not only ruin and end lives but also kills the economy as it gets worse each day. The innocent lives of those who are trying to survive are highly affected by economic progression. Even huge capitalists and investors are affected. It could cause a global economic crisis just like what is happening right now due to the war between Russia and Ukraine.

As much as possible, small countries that couldn't deal with the effects of war are trying to avoid it but there are powerful countries that want invasion since they're fully equipped and prepared for its consequences just to pursue their desires. It could definitely affect people not just physically but also emotionally and could even cause trauma. If the current war wouldn't end as soon as possible, there will be a huge effect globally that we might experience in the future especially since Russia has a huge role in the oil supply globally.
Lives are at stake and that is much worse than the economy part, I understand people all around the world who are not involved in this war doesn't care about the possibility of death, because they are not living there.

But, imagine being a person from Ukraine, and how there is a possibility that Russia could literally bomb you and kill you and cause you so much pain, in fact worst thing could be them killing everyone you love and not killing you, making you suffer through life knowing that everyone you loved has died in agony due to war. Hence, bad economy or not, I accept even worse economy if the war would end, but it would also help the economy too, so ending the war has super amazing results.
2537  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: ETH/BTC, what does it reveal to you? on: September 21, 2022, 09:54:34 AM
I would say, ETH/BTC is a more predictable pair than some others.
I followed this pair before, and for some time the ratio was always approximately the same. also, any change was never drastic in the short term, and because of this bad positions did not necessarily bring big losses.
at least this was my case.
Yeah, that's mainly because both of them are coins that does well and I do not think that they ever had any big troubles which means that in the end they are going to be doing fine and we shouldn't be shocked about it. If the rate stays around the same, or at least goes to a place where it is totally understandable then we would be able to say that it's a good thing and it would be a common predicted thing.

If the price goes higher then it would be a bit different and weird. So, the success and top 1-2 ranking of these two makes sure that we are doing the right thing and that's a very important situation to be in, I can't say anything more praising about any other coin. They are just that much solid.
2538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: September 21, 2022, 08:39:53 AM
ICC funding policy is a joke when it comes to associate nations. They could potentially solve this issue if the ICC stop romanticizing test cricket for the associate nations and just focus on T-20.

Also about the highlighted part, if that was the case then BCCI will run away with more than 50% of revenue because ICC's 70-80% revenue comes from the Indian market only.
Here I agree now it's time for changes and ICC need to be done this as well if they are serious about better future of this game and try to encourage teams for T-20 format instead of all formats because this is nothing positive for this game and good future of this game even I feel they need to be generous about India as they are surely the biggest shareholder in revenue, so they deserve big part of this profit as well but here now also time for changing in ICC system is also needed which will bring good increase in revenue and lifelike for many countries which are going to be in cricket specially like West Indies, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh which are not good and have no enough quality for test format because this need good investment and better structure which is not possible with current financial situation in these countries.

In long run they need to have thought about just two formats like test and T20 with leagues like T10 and The Hundred depend on boards own commitment because this is currently not suitable for them as well but can play good role in future for many new teams.
2539  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Now it's time for staking on: September 21, 2022, 06:03:51 AM
Dude, now is really not the time for staking. It’s such a massive risk for relatively low reward (versus the risk of leaving your crypto in somebody else’s control.

Seriously just DCA during this bear market & the profits you’ll get in the next bull market will far outweigh whatever pittance in comparison, you can get from staking.
You do not just make money by staking ETH, you make it by holding ETH as well, and if you are going to hold it, might as well stake it as well because why say no to extra money? At the end of the day the hype came and go, people bought a lot of ETH while waiting for the merger and after it didn't skyrocketed they sold their ETH and price may have taken a little bit of hit but we have seen lower prices just recently so this is mild.

At the same time, we will have staking and people buying more to make more, that means the price will go on higher and that is why you should have some ETH, not just so you can stake it, but because the price of ETH will recover, like I said, if you do then staking it just extra bonus on top of that.
2540  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which altcoins will not survive the bear market? on: September 20, 2022, 10:04:30 PM
Only few coins are the trusted one,some of them are potential one in the bear market.ADA was sustainable one in the market.The price of ADA was not reduced as like the other coin.It’s my personal strategy,it may vary from each people.Some traders holding the most of the altcoin for the longer period to earn some good profit in later.Many fake project are emerging now,we should do avoid of such projects.
ADA is not bad that's true, but they are not developing at a pace that would benefit them, they could have been faster and better and be higher right now but they failed, there is still a huge community behind it, and developers are working but I feel like it missed its chance to be long standing amazing one, it needs to get faster.

At the same time, btc, eth, bnb trio seems to be there for a long time and feel like they will probably stay there as long as we live, if you remove stables those are the top three cryptocurrencies and that means they must be doing something right. BTC is obvious but the other ones are working constantly to stay there.
