341  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The role of Bitcoin in eliminating unemployment in our country on: June 11, 2023, 03:17:59 AM
After all, bitcoin is money, an investment like any other, we use it to make more money with our money. Thereby it can be seen that bitcoin does not create jobs, so it cannot help anyone get out of unemployment, and that is not what bitcoin was created for.
To be more precise, bitcoin is a speculative asset and cryptocurrency is a financial market. Where people will take money from each other, strong, intelligent people will find ways to take money from weak and stupid people. The market is a battlefield, it is incredibly fierce, not as simple as you think, not just holding, and the price will increase, and everyone will win.
342  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin must surpass gold on: June 11, 2023, 03:05:35 AM
There are two reasons. First, Bitcoin is a non-credit currency ten times stronger than gold. So unless Bitcoin is replaced. Otherwise he must surpass gold. Second, Bitcoin is close to being the ideal non-credit currency, and it is basically impossible to have another non-credit currency beyond Bitcoin. Combine these two points and Bitcoin is bound to surpass gold

That's right...not to mention its use-case. Gold thrives on its scarcity, limited supply and certain physical properties that supersede other metals, and it will also thrive at the time that worthless paper money meets its propelled demise. Draw-backs include storage, transfer of ownership, and availability to purchase/sell. Bitcoin solves what gold lacks in, so I agree with you strongly that Bitcoin will surpass the market cap of gold.

I've said before in another thread, one day the main pair of bitcoin will be against the value of gold, instead of the value of the dollar or other fiat currencies. Alongside the pair of UM (Universal Money) which will probably supersede all fiat (at least in the west) and BRICS (if this actually comes to fruition) over the next 2 - 5 years.

Interesting times!
Yes, bitcoin solves some of the limitations of gold such as being easier to store and transport, in addition, bitcoin can also be used for ultra-fast cross-border payments, which no other asset can do. But that doesn't mean it will overtake the gold market because gold offers many other benefits that bitcoin doesn't, such as jewelry use, and is gold's biggest advantage by far. The future is unpredictable, and right now, bitcoin is not yet comparable to gold when there is such a big difference in capitalization.

If we evaluate the last year, then Barcelona should improve the attack, this would greatly help the team in the future.
I think Barcelona has thought about this because they got tickets to the champions league which is putting pressure on Barcelona to get transfers of new players who can give good performance for Barcelona. if compared with last year I think Barcelona has not had any changes and it's still the same it's just that they haven't been able to find a replacement for Messi who was once a leading player at Barcelona.

Barcelona's only target this season was La Liga. Barcelona team was not interested in Champions League or Europa League matches. And they didn't play well in the Champions League and Europa League either. However, Barcelona will definitely want to do well in La Liga and the Champions League next season. And so they definitely need to strengthen the squad. Barcelona's defence has been very strong this season. However, Barcelona need improvement in midfield and attack. They need more experienced players in attack and midfield. Besides Lewandowski, Barcelona needs another regular scorer.

Uff that's a mammoth total to chase, is there any forecast for rain?  Weather experts Roll Eyes Tongue

<snip>
Again Daddy hundreds are needed, even if we want to draw.
Why not? Rohit Sharma can score one hundred and so is Shubman Gill. Both are capable of this. Then you have Virat Kohli who is capable of scoring a double hundred. Then you have Rahane ,  Jadeja who can easily score 60 to 70 runs on any given day.
It's strange that you still looking for rain when you have the best batting line up  Huh

India started well today. But they are not able to maintain consistency. At 90 I saw India collect 1 wicket. After a while, I checked the scoreboard and saw that they had lost 3 wickets for 100 runs. Rohit Sharma batted a bit better today. But if the other batsmen of the team do not play well, it is not possible for India to win the match. India still needs 344 runs to win. It is very difficult. India will not be able to win such a big target if at least two batsmen do not score centuries.

Sad to see India in such a horrible state at the moment. They still have a chance if they can restrict the Australians to below 400 which looks really, really tough at the moment.
Absolutely still India has a chance to get back into the game as because now Australia lead by 296 runs while they lose most of his Mian player and especially previous inning performers, now Australian scored 123 by just lose his 4th wicket, if the current two set batter scored above 300 then it will be just like impossible to win for India because lead will be raised to above 500 and due to current performance indian batter did look confident and also lack of understanding about pitch also put them in really big trouble just like things done in previous inning, so no India should take much more possible wicket to put down Thier moral and get into the game..
India have got little chance to get back into the game and hope for a draw. Australia team have already scored 123/4 which for India is good, but the lead is already close to 300 runs. With Labuschagne, Green, Alex Carey, Cummins left behind surely we can expect another 100 runs from Australia. If things go well Australia could set a target of 450+ runs for sure. In such situation it'll really hard for India to chase, but Australia have the power packed bowling lineup that could defend. Also the highest fourth innings run chase in the history of test cricket is 418 runs.
Maybe it’s time to break the history? With the score 123/4, I think Australia will be easily able to mange 180+ runs more. So yeah the target will be atleast 500 runs to be honest. And India will have hardly a day and one session to chase the score. The chase seems very hard, but in cricket anything and everything is possible. If India’s mindset is not about winning the match, then they will try really hard to atleast draw the match and share the trophy with Australia. Today the result will become more clear.

The Australian players did not play very well on the third day. They lost four wickets for 123 runs. And now Australia has managed to take a lead of just 296 runs. If Australia does not play well today then winning this match will not be an easy task for Australia. Australia will have to give a target of at least 400 runs. The Indian top order did not play well in the first innings. It is unlikely that they will bat badly in the second innings as well. And so the Australian batsmen need to collect at least 100-120 more runs.

Arsenals coach Arteta definitely must have learnt a thing or two from the experience gotten last season and I think he would be more reliable to build a team that’s more consistent in their games for the next season.
I think the fact that when their top players were out of action due to injuries and the lot, they suffered some setback cause there wasn’t a reliable or capable replacement. He would need to work on that as well. After all, they’re now in the race for the champions league title next season.
Although the Gunners failed to win a single title this season, they are on their way to UCL football. Things will be more challenging if the players don't improve their present pattern of game, players enhance their level on the field. More responsibilities for Mikel Arteta; he developed Arsenal and rebuilt them to their former glory; the Gunners only lack a solid winning factor, which is consistency. They're not consistent; despite scoring well this season, we'll see a decline in their performance next season; that's how the club operates; I'm guessing things will be different at Emirates Stadium next season.
Mikel Arteta has built Arsenal a lot better this season and it's been a pretty good process now they just need to add some strengths to the team and make this team even more consistent.
next season Arsenal will play in the UCL and because this requires this team to develop much better so they can compete on the European stage, I see that so far Mikel Arteta has been quite successful in managing Arsenal.
and I'm sure if Mikel Arteta was given more time to manage Arsenal then it is very likely that he will be able to bring the Arsenal team to achievements.

Mikel Arteta has done a fantastic job this season. This is really commendable, if they can maintain the consistency at the end of the season, maybe Arsenal would be the champions of this season. But it was their misfortune that they could not win the championship. As Arsenal will play in the Champions League next season. So they need a stronger squad. The Champions League and Premier League are very competitive. It is much more difficult to maintain consistency in both places. And so in addition to strengthening Arsenal's squad, they must also keep their bench team strong. Otherwise, Arsenal's performance will suffer badly if a key player gets injured.

Real madrid has been speding 120m for bellingham and there was around 280m remaining at this moment. Perez has been trying to rebuild the club again.
There was still a big question for real madrid at this moment for modric. It's caused by modric has been included as a target from SPL.
Modric can leave from real madrid anytime as he want.
Madrid needs a young and talented midfielder like Jude Bellingham. And I think Jude Bellingham can be a worthy replacement for Luka Modric. We still don't know if Luka Modric will stay with Madrid. But Modric is over 37. This is why Madrid needs a replacement for Modric. However, Jude Bellingham is a good choice for Madrid's squad. If Madrid cannot strengthen their squad enough next season, they will not be able to compete with Barcelona for the La Liga title.
Whether Modric will stay or not because the most important thing is, Real Madrid must continue to look for a replacement or get a young player who has great potential. But regarding Bellingham, I don't think only Real Madrid have an interest in signing him. Thus, because there is competition to get Bellingham, of course Real Madrid must really be able to win this competition, with a good offer and also make a move that is faster than other clubs that want Bellingham as well.

Bellingham is only a 19-year-old young player. The fitness of this young player is very good. And he played brilliantly in the last season. He was able to score 4 goals in 7 Champions League matches. A number of teams are interested in signing the talented player. Manchester United, Arsenal, PSG and Madrid are all interested in signing Bellingham. And so, if the Madrid management wants to bring Bellingham into the team, they will have to spend a huge amount.
348  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Deciding to save money in Bitcoins for the future of the child on: June 09, 2023, 04:48:20 AM
I have created a savings account for my children's future and I have already deposited some amount in it but I am in doubt about my money because if my money is lost due to bank failure then I can financially support my children in future. I can't give  So I have planned to withdraw the amount of money deposited in the bank and convert it to bitcoin and store it through bitcoin. I hope that as a parent of the child, I have made a good decision for them by thinking about their future.

You made a mistake trusting your investment to banks, they don't care about you but only want to make the profits so they can share with in their self. Investing in Bitcoin is better than investing through banks. As you have bought Bitcoin, you have made a good choice as you'll have the control of your investment and nobody can detect when you sell your Bitcoin. As you keep adding more bitcoin to your savings, you'll keep getting more profits.

Bitcoin is decentralized and can't be affected by inflation because Bitcoin keeps growing in approximately every four years therefore you'll keep getting profits whenever the the price of the market increases. Now all you have to do is to teach your children about Bitcoin.

I don't object to him using his savings to invest in bitcoin for his children's future. But from what you said about bitcoin, I don't see you mentioning any risk of investing in bitcoin that he would face. However, such advice is not entirely true, as no asset offers high returns without risk. Putting your trust in the bank is wrong, but putting all your money in a volatile asset like bitcoin is even worse. Why should we not allocate and diversify? Diversity is always encouraged because it is the best way to protect our assets, nothing is completely safe.
349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CBDC competing with bitcoin on: June 09, 2023, 04:28:08 AM
No. It's not.

With CBDC government try to create its own stable and says that we don't need Bitcoin now because we have the digital dollar lol. But they are not gonna win because no one cares about CBDC sh*t.

Everyone who knows what crypto is will use usdt or BTC instead of CBDC. This "stable" will be promoted as an alternative of BTC but I don't think it's gonna be really successful.

With CBDC, we won't have the right to like or dislike it, I think the government will force us to use them when it officially works. Simply put, it's just a digital version of fiat, and their creation of CBDC is just the advancement of technology and freeing us from the frills. It can be said that CBDC is inevitable, but to say it competes with bitcoin is not true because these two assets are completely different. So I don't think there will be any real impact or competition between these two properties. But to talk about between fiat and CBDC, I still prefer using fiat over CBDC.

India at the critical situation losing the wicket of Pujara. India have lost its third wicket at 50 runs. Second wicket had taken place same as that of Shubman Gill. Balls were completely misjudged and the ball hits the stump. Rahane have come to the crease, will Kohli and Rahane able to make good partnership to keep the Indian team at the better position. Australia bowlers are at their best, fast bowlers are doing well and there is good swing with the three bowlers (Green, Boland and Cummins).

When Australia batted it felt like a batting-friendly pitch. But now the performance of the Indian batsmen seems to be a completely bowling-friendly pitch. India lost their fifth wicket for 142 runs. It was completely unexpected that India's experienced top-order batsmen would perform so poorly. But Ajinkia Rahane is still at the crease. He is quite an experienced batsman. With Rahane at the crease, India might be able to collect a decent total. But if India loses the wicket of Rahane, they will not be able to collect even 250 runs.

Remarkable recovery by Australia. When Marnus Labuschagne got out, Australia was struggling at 76/3. From there, Steven Smith and Travis Head took them to 327/3. The 4th wicket partnership is now worth 251 runs. Indian seam attack once again proves that they are ineffective without Jasprit Bumrah. None of them, including Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Umesh Yadav and Shardul Thakur seemed like they could trouble Smith and Head. And this curse continues for India in ICC tournaments. It is going to be yet another missed opportunity for India. 

After seeing the performance of the Indian bowlers at the beginning of the day, I thought the match might be controlled by the Indian bowlers. Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Shiraj and Shardul Thakur picked up one wicket each. But the Indian bowlers could not maintain consistency. Despite picking up three wickets for 786 runs, they could not pick up any more wickets throughout the day. Smith and Head dominated the Indian bowlers today. And with the way Australia are batting, scoring 500-600 runs will not be a tough task for the Australian players. Even then I would say the match will depend on the first session tomorrow. If the Indian bowlers can do well in the first session, Australia's innings will not be too long. But if the dominance of Australia's batsmen is seen in the first session too, Australia will not collect less than 550.

Sevilla's run in the Champions League this season was just terrible.
Is it not possible that they do not have the desire to win the competition so it affects how they play for it. They may be happy with dominating the Europa. There is a way Sevilla plays, at the moment when your players are beginning to tire out the Sevilla players always find a way to gather energy and keep increasing the pressure. In just some little moments Sevilla can make use of the opportunity and score. They Did it against Manchester United and against Roma in the Europa finals.
Sevilla has been known for being delighted in the  Europa League more than the champions league. I even bet you that in the next season they will also find a way to crash out of the Champions league in order to embrace the Europa League.
They are more comfortable and experienced in the Europa League more than in the Champions League.
At times I will think they are deliberately crash out of the Champions League in order to increase their chances of winning European Cup through the Europa League.
If we think about Sevilla, they often use this strategy to make it easier for them to win the European league title, and of course they are self-aware that competing in the Champions League with so many other strong teams will make it even more difficult for them to win the Champions League. I think as long as Sevilla do well it doesn't matter and for sure they proved by being consistent in the European league for many seasons. So what Sevilla is doing looks very reasonable, especially winning one title is more important than not getting it at all in one season.

The Sevilla team knows very well that they have no chance of winning the Champions League title. Champions League teams are much stronger than Sevilla. Sevilla may be able to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League if they try their hardest. And it is more honour for Sevilla to be champions of the Europa League. And so Sevilla's main goal is the Europa League title. And next season we will probably see a poor performance of Sevilla in the Champions League. However, Sevilla's main goal will remain to win the Europa League title.

Sri Lanka A VS South Africa A

The Sri Lanka A team is playing an unofficial series against the South Africa A team. Three ODI matches and two Test matches will be played in this series.

South Africa A team won the first match quite easily. But today South Africa's performance was not good. Only 175 runs were able to be collected by the batsmen of the A team of South Africa. It is not possible to win by giving a target of so few runs. As usual, the South African team is going to be defeated. At the end of 28 overs, Sri Lanka A batsmen scored 168 runs losing only 3 wickets. Nishan Madushka remains unbeaten with 102 runs off 81 balls.

The results of these unofficial matches are not that important. However, the performance of these matches shows the future of the team. By performing in these matches, the young players of the country become experienced. And so these matches are important to give experience to the young players. Sri Lanka played brilliantly in today's match. They reached the victory target in just 29 overs. And Sri Lanka opener Nisan Madushka's performance was very good. He was unbeaten with 107 runs. He also batted well in the first match against South Africa. The 23-year-old opener is likely to find a place in the Sri Lankan national team very quickly if he can maintain his consistent form.
355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: June 04, 2023, 02:02:04 PM
After losing the first match by six wickets, Sri Lanka got off to a good start in the second ODI. The top four batsmen have been able to score good runs so far. Batting at a run rate of 5.33, Sri Lanka has managed to score 192 runs in 36 overs so far. Their batting looks like they will be able to score big against Afghanistan today. 
As it is a three match ODI series Sri Lanka must win this match because if Sri Lanka lose this match for any reason then they will lose the series against Afghanistan. 300 plus runs will be very difficult for Afghanistan to win. Now let's see if Sri Lanka manage to score 300 plus runs against Afghanistan's strong bowling line-up.
Sri Lanka lost their 1st ODI match against Afghanistan at their home ground. Afghanistan's batting performance was excellent due to which they won by more runs. But the way Sri Lanka is batting in today's match, they must have collected a big score. At the end of the game they must score 300 plus Sri Lankan batsmen are batting brilliantly due to which their run rate is increasing rapidly. In today's match, Sri Lanka are collecting runs and will definitely be a big score for them to win. And if you score 300+ runs it will be very difficult for Afghanistan and I think it will not be possible for Afghans to score so many runs. and Sri Lanka will try hard enough to win the match they must win this match otherwise they will lose this series. Sri Lanka's score today is certainly unlikely for Afghanistan to win many runs.
The match is getting tougher for Afghanistan as the overs go on. When Afghanistan came to bat with a target of 324 runs, Afghanistan lost Rahmanullah Gurbaz early on and suffered a big blow in batting. So far has managed to collect 110 runs by losing two wickets. Afghanistan are now batting at four plus current run rate but Afghanistan need to score 8+ runs per over to win. If this wicket pair can form a good partnership then the two teams will have almost equal chances of winning but if Sri Lanka can pick up some quick wickets then it will be much easier for Sri Lanka to win this match.
I would not say that Afghanistan suffered a major blow by losing the wicket of Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is not in good form. Even his performance in IPL was very bad. However, it is much more difficult to win by batting at a target of 324 runs. It seems unlikely that Afghanistan will win to bat at such a big target. Yet they continued to try.
Afghanistan collected only 140 runs at the end of 30 overs. They can't collect an average of 5 runs per over. But Afghanistan lost only two wickets. They need 184 runs in 20 overs. They need to score more than 9 per over to win.
Although Rahmanullah Gurbaz was not in form, the game became very chaotic when one of the opening pair got out early in the game. Same thing happened with Afghanistan as they failed to bowl economically against Sri Lanka today then Rahmanullah Gurbaz got out early to bat which put a lot of batting pressure on Afghanistan and were bowled out for just 191 runs against Sri Lanka. That means Sri Lanka won this match by 132 runs. Sri Lanka returned to a 1-1 tie in the series by winning this match.
The third and final ODI match is a life-and-death battle for both the teams as the losers in the final match will be denied the series win.

After watching the performance of Afghanistan in the first match, I don't think the performance of Afghanistan's batsmen will be so bad in this match. They played very badly. Afghanistan was defeated by a huge margin of 132 runs. Despite the pitch being batting-friendly, Afghanistan did not play well. The bowling of the Sri Lankan bowlers was very controlled. Hasaranga and Dhananjaya de Silva in particular bowled well. Each managed to pick up three wickets.

The league ends today in the Spanish La Liga. When I look at the schedule, the most striking match for me is the match between Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao. Because if Real Madrid loses points in this match and Atletico Madrid beats Villareal away, Real Madrid will finish the league in 3rd place. Real Madrid did not have a good season. But if they finish the league in 3rd place, it will be a nightmare for them. They need to beat Athletic Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabeu. Otherwise, they will most likely finish the league in 3rd place.
It is not certain that Atletico Madrid can beat Villarreal away. But I have no doubts that Real Madrid can beat Atletico Bilbao. Although for Bilbao it is a very important game because they are fighting with Osasuna for a place in the Conference League. I agree that Real Madrid and Atletico Bilbao should be an interesting match.

Matches are not important for any team. So no team will give full effort to win these matches. However, Villarreal will play at home against Atletico Madrid. Considering the home match, I consider Villarreal as the favourite. On the other hand, Real Madrid will play a home match against Athletic Bilbao. Madrid will not want to disappoint their fans in home matches. Madrid will play for victory in this match. And I am also interested in betting on Madrid to win this match.

358  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you give one reason why I should buy bitcoin? on: June 04, 2023, 03:33:38 AM
Of course there are many advantages of bitcoin over fiat, but it has a different purpose to buy bitcoin. Some people only use it as a payment alternative, while others make it an investment and trading asset. Simply put bitcoin is a great currency or investment asset, not just fiat and other investment assets where decentralization is one of the things that makes user feel like he has bank in his hands.

You are correct that Bitcoin has several advantages over other traditional  fiat currencies, and one of them being cross border transaction fee which is much lower compared to using traditional banking channels for this purpose. In my view the key advantage of investing in Bitcoin and holding it for long term, is its unmatched returns which is evident from its track record of past 15 years since its inception, despite the fact that it is highly volatile asset.

In addition, we also need to mention that when using bitcoin, it ensures our privacy and helps us to be our own bank without having to depend on anyone. If talking about the utility of bitcoin in life, what I like most is the privacy it brings, I feel safe when my main asset is bitcoin, and only I have access and control.
As for investment, it is true that we will get huge profits if we invest in bitcoin properly. But let's not forget the risks we face if we invest the wrong way or see it as a get-rich-quick strategy.

Now you can get payment but bitcoin market for that.  Should be good. I don't know if all the projects have anything to do with bitcoin market.
I would like to agree with you on this point that there was a time when a good amount could be pocketed by air drop. But now the picture is very different as the number of scammers is increasing day by day. And in this case, most of the current projects who bring air drops are frauds. In this case, most of the airdrops have the possibility of your data being stolen or a victim of phishing, except for some exceptional cases. So I think airdropping now is just a waste of time and security loss as well.

Airdrops today may not contain a significant amount of value, with some requiring participants to hold Ethereum or other altcoins or asking for a fee. I am discouraged from participating in airdrop campaigns because of this shit. I agree with both of you, airdrops may no longer offer the same level of opportunity that they once did, but there are still many potential projects and opportunities in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industries like the NFT ecosystem, STOs, IDOs, etc.

When exploring new opportunities, thorough research and due diligence are crucial. Consider getting involved in projects or platforms that have a strong reputation and credibility. Stay up to date on market trends, brand reputation, and regulatory developments.

Stuttgart won a big victory after successfully overthrowing their opponent Hamburg with a score of 3-0 without reply. The victory in the first leg is very meaningful for Stuttgart as the initial capital to play the second leg later at home to Hamburg on 6 June 2023.
I think Hamburg will at least give a fierce resistance in this match, but it seems they can't do anything and have to fight again to be able to turn things around in the second leg. It looks like Hamburg's chances of winning are getting slimmer despite being favored as the host in the second leg and Stuttgart will definitely be aiming for their second victory on the road later.
Hamburg must score 4 goals. They will not manage that. I do not see even 3 goals to get into overtime. Stuttgart can go to Hamburg very relaxed. They will probably even score a goal very early.
Too bad, I would have like to see Hamburg back in Bundesliga 1. But now Darmstadt and Heidenheim are coming. The stadiums have a capacity of 17,000 and 15,000 spectators. And the population of Heidenheim is even smaller than the capacity of Hamburgs stadium.
I also think so, that it is very difficult for Hamburg to catch up with the goals scored by Stuttgart in the first leg. Indeed, in a football match anything can happen, but now the position is very difficult, especially Stuttgart will also maintain the advantage they created in this first leg. I think it will be very difficult to create just 2 goals for Hamburg against Stuttgart, but we'll see if there will be any surprises or not.

I'd say it's almost impossible for Hamburger to qualify for the Bundesliga. Because they played very badly against Stuttgart in the first leg. Hamburger's attacking players performed poorly. As usual, their defense was also weak in this match. And the important thing is that the Hamburger team lost 3-0. In the second leg, Hamburger will win by more than 3 goals. The second leg is an away match to Stuttgart. The hamburger will never win by 3 goals if Stuttgart plays a completely defensive strategy.
