So 182 turned out to be a winning score. Now it's just formality and Mumbai will go ahead and face the Gujrat in the knockout. Kudos to Mumbai's bowler, they clicked tonight when it matter most. So which match up we should expect? CSK vs GT or CSK vs MI finals? The latter fixture would be an epic contest from every point of view (old rivalry, blockbuster numbers from the broadcaster's POV). ----------- Well done Akash Madhwal! 3.3 overs, 5 runs and 5 wickets. Special mention to Agent Hooda for 2 run outs.  LSG team was defeated by a huge margin of 81 runs. For me, it was a completely unexpected result. Don't expect such a bad performance from LSG's batsmen. Because several T20 specialist batsmen were in LSG's squad. We haven't seen a good performance from Mumbai's bowlers this season either. But the scenario of today's match was completely different. Akash Madhabala bowled 3.3 overs and picked up 5 wickets and conceded just 5 runs. I would say Akash is the main hero of Mumbai's win today. It was Akash's brilliant bowling that helped Mumbai beat LSG so easily. |

In mid to late 2021, I was new to this space and went thru the altcoin phase. I staked my Ethereum and just now was able to unstake. I have been bitcoin only for at least the past year ( I learned). My first instinct was to unstake the ether and swap for BTC. My issue is that, If I did that right now, I'd sell at a 50% loss. The counter to that is that if im swapping for BTC, the btc price is also down, so..... If I wait till its up, its likely that BTC will be up too. I have this back and forth battle going on mentally of weather I should just sell now or wait. I dont want this J.P. Morgan owned mess, but I dont want to sell at such a loss. I just wanted some opinions.
I know many people will advise you to sell ETH and switch to BTC immediately, as most people here are bitcoin maximalists. But I will speak my mind about your situation. ETH is not too bad to hold, and even its returns will be better than bitcoin these days. If you look back at the 2021 bull season, you will see that ETH's returns were much better than BTC's. Second, if you sell ETH and convert to BTC without loss, then that's the right thing to do, but if you have to accept too much loss when converting, it really shouldn't be. |

Hi guys! I have come across a topic here that emphasized on the need to disclose one's Bitcoin dealings and seed phrase to his/her spouse incase something bad and unexpected like death comes knocking on the door, the husband or wife can have access to the funds and claim it. Well... This story is quite different. A husband hid his crypto assets from his wife amid divorce saga, the wife had her suspicion, then hired a forensic expert who found out that during the splitting of the property, the husband failed to declared his 12 BTC stashed somewhere in an undisclosed wallet. She's now asking that the Bitcoin be splitted into two. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/05/20/bitcoin-in-divorce-how-spouses-hide-assets-crypto-hunters-find-them.htmlLooks like some of the married folks are getting smarter... They don't want to be left in the dark, but are going out to get it themselves through crypto hunters. What's your thoughts on this? even How smarter he is , still he did not managed to Hid everything from His wife lol . Bitcoin is the best place to hide everything from another party even if this is our wife/husband but the way I see this? it looks like they are having a problem long ago this is why hiding happens . because if they are not facing issues , i see no reason why they need to come across this case. Me and my wife has no problem about me holding bitcoin and this saves us from any money issues because she knew that everything in my holding is for Her and our children . It's terrible to have decided to get married, but we live in suspicion, hiding from each other. For those who are supporting this guy and if you are not married, you should carefully consider what your purpose of marriage is because when you are married, you will always trust and share everything with each other. Greed and lies have no place in marriage, and that will make your marriage soon break up. I also hold a lot of bitcoin, but it's not something I value more than my wife and kids. If I lose them, I will never find them, but with bitcoin, as long as I keep working hard, owning bitcoins is too easy. |

Now, Sevilla will play their match against AS Roma. as we all know, Jose Mourinho has never lost when his team entered the final match, correct me if I'm wrong. In this final match, I'm not supporting either team. especially if Mourinho uses his flagship formation. that means, this final match will not be interesting. but hopefully, not as I thought.
well, when it comes to betting, there's nothing that the dealer prefers. and if we refer to Over/Under, the options are only 2 goals. this indication, means that the match will not produce many goals.
Mourinho is an experienced coach. And because of Mourinho's efforts, the Roma team is performing well this season. But does Roma have the ability to beat Sevilla in the Europa League final? Today I watched Roma's performance against Salernitana. Roma cannot play well. The match was drawn 2-2. Roma's defence was able to penetrate easily against Salernitana. If Roma's defence is so weak against Sevilla, the Roma team will have to concede several goals against Sevilla. |

Freiburg won the match, but it was not easy for them to win this match. Wolfsburg's defenders tried hard to resist Freiburg's players. There were also several excellent counter-attacks by the Wolfsburg players. But in the end they failed. Although neither team scored in the first half, Freiburg scored two consecutive goals in the 71st and 75th minutes of the second half to take a 2-1 lead. Wolfsburg probably wanted to play defensively and share the points in this match. I'm happy with Freiburg's win. Their performance in this match was well-planned.
Even though Nicolas Hofler got a red card the Freiburg still won, well surely expected for a team with the level of Leipzig but yeah you are right that Wolfsburg have done their all and their best for this game but still failed it I really think they aren't hungry enough in getting at the 6th spot of the Bundesliga, but surely for Wolfsburg, I really think they need to get new recruits in enhancing their offense more their defense is quite good actually but the offense is more likely important, Wolfsburg lost because of their poor defence. However, the performance of the Freiburg players was very good in this match. They have been able to dominate since the beginning of the match. And attacked a lot. The match could have been more competitive if Wolfsburg had counter-attacked instead of playing defensively. Bayern Munich can't win against Leipzig. The road to the title just got easier for Dortmund. Dortmund is now only 1 point behind Munich. If Dortmund can beat Augsburg and Mainz in their next two matches, the team will be the champions of this year's Bundesliga. Even though I like the gameplay of the Munich team, I'm tired of seeing the Munich team as champions every season. And so I want Dortmund to be champions this season. |

The Liverpool vs Aston villah match was full of attacks from the beginning to the end, both teams fought and the result of the match was a draw. A tearful match for Liverpool fans as Firmino played his last game for Brazilian star Liverpool. Played the last match for Liverpool and scored a goal in this match which will be remembered by Liverpool fans Roberto Firmino departure. Roberto Firmino started his journey at Liverpool in 2015 and that journey ends in 2023. Liverpool fans will miss legendary footballer Roberto Firmino, who will never be seen in a Liverpool jersey again. But the goal scored in the match will be remembered in the pages of history. Roberto Firmino scored the first goal in Liverpool in 2017 with the assist of M.Salah and 6 years later Roberto Firmino scored the farewell goal with the assist of M.Salah. This match is truly memorable for Liverpool.
The Liverpool team was in very good form. And Liverpool were favourites against Aston Villa. But I don't think Aston Villa players will be able to put up such a good defence against Liverpool. Aston Villa players played well. Especially Aston Villa defenders Konsa and Mings played well. Ramsey and Luiz's performance was also very good. Liverpool's chances of qualifying for the Champions League ended due to the loss of points in this match. Liverpool's points in 37 matches are 66. On the other hand, Manchester United and Newcastle have earned 69 points in 36 matches. |

Freiburg vs Wolfsburg
Freiburg is now playing against Wolfsburg. Both the teams are placed fifth and sixth in the points table respectively. Today's match is Freiburg's home match. Considering the home match I considered the Freiburg team as favourites. However, in the last match against Wolfsburg, Freiburg lost 6-0. I don't think we will see a similar result in today's match. I expect Freiburg to win today's match. Freiburg lost against Leipzig and Union Berlin in the last two matches. Freiburg will not want to disappoint their fans in today's home match. They will fight hard to win. However, the match is also likely to be a draw.
The race between Freiburg and Union Berlin is getting more interesting and both teams are close because in this match Freiburg won the game against Wolfsburg with a 2-0 result and got important three points while Union Berlin is going face Hofenhaim and if they lose the game they will have same points with Freiburg. Freiburg could take advantage of this match with a win, even though they couldn't score in the first half, but in the second half they were able to create it through Cristian Gunter and Nils Petersen whose first and second goals were only 4 minutes apart. Wolfsburg tried to steal goals but their efforts always ended in a stalemate because the defense built by Freiburg worked well. Freiburg won the match, but it was not easy for them to win this match. Wolfsburg's defenders tried hard to resist Freiburg's players. There were also several excellent counter-attacks by the Wolfsburg players. But in the end they failed. Although neither team scored in the first half, Freiburg scored two consecutive goals in the 71st and 75th minutes of the second half to take a 2-1 lead. Wolfsburg probably wanted to play defensively and share the points in this match. I'm happy with Freiburg's win. Their performance in this match was well-planned. |

Interesting game will be also Manchester City vs Chelsea,I don't expect anything from Chelsea after seeing that monstrous Manchester City against Real Madrid but anyway Premier League is full of surprises so anything can happen.
Anything can happen in the Premier League and every team in the table has the ability to beat every other team. So expect Manchester City's match with Chelsea to be competitive. But the problem for Chelsea is that Manchester City are having the best time this season, be it in the Champions League or the Premier League. Manchester City beat Real Madrid 4-0 in their last match. Chelsea's match against Manchester City will be tough. And Manchester City will be ahead in this match. Manchester City can enter the field in the first half with unchanged squared in the second leg of ucl semi-final. Manchester City are in their best form right now. Manchester City players are now very confident after performing well in every match. Also after a long time, they managed to occupy the top spot in the table. They will certainly want to increase the points gap with Arsenal and secure the title. Manchester City team will be 7 points ahead of Arsenal if they win against Chelsea. Chelsea's team is in a weak position right now. They are not able to score points in most of the matches due to the poor performance of the attacking players in particular. Chelsea have won only 11 out of 35 matches. With such a weak attack, it is unlikely that they will be able to break Manchester City's strong defence. |

Freiburg managed to avenge the previous 6-0 defeat. They won the match 2-0. The performance of Wolfsburg players was not good in this match. They wanted to play defensively. Wolfsburg players attempted very few attacks in this match. And Freiburg made good use of this opportunity. And they managed to win the match by dominating it. At the moment Freiburg and Union Berlin are level on points. However, the Freiburg team played a match better than Union Berlin. If Union Berlin loses their next two matches, Freiburg is likely to finish fourth in the table and qualify for the Champions League. |

When Bitcoin will become stable currency?
Bitcoin will never become a stable currency. If Bitcoin becomes a stable currency then the popularity of Bitcoin will gradually decrease. People find this coin most suitable for trading and investing due to the volatility of Bitcoin market prices. I have invested in Bitcoin in anticipation that Bitcoin will become more popular in the future and the market will remain high. But if Bitcoin becomes a stable currency I will never hold Bitcoin as an investment. So everyone will be in the same situation as me if Bitcoin becomes a stable currency. So none of you imagine that Bitcoin will become a stable currency. I also believe that bitcoin's popularity and interest will drop markedly if it becomes stable. Although there are still some people using bitcoin as a currency, they make up a minimal number, most of them come to bitcoin to make a profit. No need to survey the market, just do a little survey right here on this forum, I think more than 99% use bitcoin as an investment rather than a currency because no one doesn't want a lot of money. Honestly, if bitcoin is stable I'm not sure if I will continue to hold it or not. |

I think Inter Milan will struggle to beat Man. City. If we look at the composition of the players, City is much better than Inter Milan. Guardiola also understands how to bring his team to stay calm when his team under pressure. They will almost win the EPL title, so UCL title will complete City's achievements this season, FA Cup title maybe as a bonus. Inter are statistically better than before, but I'm not sure it's enough against City. It's hard to stop Manchester City when they have been so impressive so far. They managed to beat two title contenders this season (Bayern Munich and Real Madrid), so it is clear that Manchester City's chances of win the title seem normal higher. Probability of temporary victory for Manchester City is close to 70% versus Inter's 12%. I agree this probability will change because the final is still quite a long way off, but it doesn't seem like much if it's a fact that Manchester City don't have any problems with players' fitness and form. Right now Manchester City's main focus is to seal the Premier League title, and I think the game against Chelsea this weekend will be the final they will win. With this win rate, there is no doubt that Manchester city will win the Champions League title this season. Pep Guardiola must manage the rotation of his players well until the final against Inter arrives. Even so, Manchester City will still be busy this season in the domestic competition considering that they are only one step away from winning the EPL title and also the FA Cup. Looks like Manchester city doesn't have time to rest they have to stay focused on the remaining matches of this season before they will finally be at the top of the champions league final this season and I hope they are able to win that title without exception. I'd say Manchester City deserve it. For the last few seasons this team has been working hard and trying to win the Champions League title. Manchester City management has spent a lot of money to strengthen the team. But every season they failed. The team could not win the Champions League title. This time they qualified for the final by defeating the mighty Real Madrid. Manchester City will face Inter Milan in the final. Inter Milan is not stable now. And so it is assumed that Manchester City is going to be the champions of this season. Even so, I would say there is no chance of underestimating the Inter Milan team. Manchester City must play well if they want to win the title. |

Mourinho has done a great job during his time in charge of Roma, he is also a coach with a winning mentality. Mourinho will try to repeat his success last season when guiding Roma to win the Conference League, Roma only need a draw at Leverkusen headquarters to reach the final round. Mourinho ability and experience have shaped the character of Roma players with a Champion Mentality, Mourinho will do everything to bring Roma who have gone through many difficult moments until they get to the semifinals.
Sevilla are very strong when playing in the Europa League, especially when playing at home. Juventus have felt how difficult it is to beat Sevilla, even though Juventus played in front of their supporters, they were unable to win. Sevilla greatness in the Europa League must be watched out for by Juventus, Sevilla managed to beat PSV Eindhoven 3-0, Fenerbahce 2-0 and Manchester United 3-0 when playing at the Sanchez Pizjuan. Sevilla status as king in the Europa League must be watched out for by Juventus, Sevilla was able to maintain its best form despite not performing well in La Liga. I somehow agree about the possibility of Sevilla winning the second leg and qualifying for the final. Sevilla are confident they can beat Juventus at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán even if they don't underestimate Massimiliano Allegri's side. I still remember very well how Sevilla crushed Manchester United in the second leg of the quarter-finals with a score of 3-0 which then led them to the semifinals against Juventus. Sevilla must be able to repeat all that well even though Juventus have a mission to reach the final. Juventus are strong in defense and attack, so Sevilla have to watch that well. Sevilla drew 2-2 in the first-leg away match against Manchester United. But Sevilla's players showed great dominance in the home match. And Sevilla won the home match 3-0. Sevilla drew 1-1 in the first leg against Juventus. And this team is in very good form right now. Hopefully, we will see Sevilla's dominance today. Sevilla is strong enough in home matches. And since the start of this season, Sevilla has aimed to do well in the Europa League. And they have been able to maintain consistency. I consider Sevilla as the favourite in today's match. However, the opponent Juventus team is very strong. Sevilla's defenders must play well. If the defense is strong I believe it will be easy for Sevilla to beat Juventus. |

The increasing number of wallets holding at least one Bitcoin is a clear indication that Bitcoin adoption is on the rise, and more individuals are showing interest in owning and utilizing it. As a result, it's probable that the demand for Bitcoin will increase, which could lead to a gradual increase in its value over time. Nonetheless, it's worth noting that Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset, and its value is susceptible to significant fluctuations in response to market conditions
One million addresses holding 1 Bitcoin does not mean that there are 1,000,000 different individuals holding Bitcoin. Miners, billionaires and first-generation holders who have invested some time into distributing their coins into more than one address could very well control a large portion of these addresses, and have hidden them into smaller amounts to prevent the wider ecosystem from seeing such a strain of power into select few people. I'd say that this is much more likely than 250,000 of these addresses belonging to different individuals. What you say is not wrong, this 1 million wallet is insufficient to prove the increasing use of bitcoin. This is just a metric for reference, and it doesn't have any meaning regarding bitcoin acceptance, as many people can also hold many wallets. I myself am also using two wallets to store bitcoins for different needs. But we don't need that metric, just seeing with the naked eye what's going on, there's no denying that bitcoin is becoming increasingly popular and of interest to more people. Along with the economic crisis, inflation, and bank collapse... all are positively impacting the increase in popularity of bitcoin worldwide. |

Looks like Delhi's openers are having a pretty good mood today. Prithvi Shaw seems to be back in form as he hit a brilliant half century, although it may be a little too late for Delhi at this point as their season is over. While Warner missed his half century for Delhi, Rilee Rossouw stayed till the end and put up a blistering knock. Overall, Delhi managed to put up an impressive score of 213 runs in their first innings, this is their first 200+ total in this IPL season! Delhi has already been knocked out of the tournament, but the match still holds significance for Punjab Kings if they get a win today.
Delhi set a huge target of 214 runs today. Had the Delhi batsmen done such a performance in the previous matches, they might have been able to qualify for the knockout round. Delhi's top order batted brilliantly today. The bowlers are also bowling quite well. But Delhi's fielding today is abysmal. Lots of fielding misses by Delhi players. They missed several easy catches. Had the fielding been better, Punjab would have lost several wickets. At the end of 14 overs, Punjab managed to collect 117 runs after losing two wickets. Need 97 off 36 balls to win. It looks like Delhi will win easily. |

Change is constant that what theorist said. The young generation believe that cryptocurrency is legit asset which can change their life one day but the old people but old people still tag Bitcoin as a fraudulent asset. That is one of the major challenges of the age.
Actually, not all. People who are willing to learn and read will understand more deeply. Many people who say just because they hear don't identify further. It is true, many people say Bitcoin is a scam, bitcoin is gambling and the majority of them do not understand before giving judgment. Perhaps when the older generation goes extinct there will be a major shift regarding Bitcoin. Because I believe the current generation of young people are more proficient in technology and more critical of something new. I feel confident Bitcoin will develop better. Not all, but I also admit the older generation can be a barrier to the growth of crypto. Some are knowledgeable but stubbornly unwilling to change, but some can't afford to understand crypto. The most obvious example is my parents and relatives, they are farmers and are not well educated. Even using Facebook to contact us, they have a lot of difficulties even though we have taught many times, they don't even know how to use online banking, let alone crypto. We don't want to lose our loved ones, but only when our old generation is gone can crypto flourish. |

I do not understand why everyone insists on adopting a single definition of Bitcoin in terms of being an investment tool and overlooking the fact that Bitcoin is a means of payment. The definition of bitcoin is not limited to being just a currency that performs investment purposes, and for this we only see attempts to employ it in a specific way in order to achieve profits.
Most of the topics raised in Bitcoin discussions are not interested in employing Bitcoin technology in business, which will help achieve profits in a different way.
Simply because we all have a tendency to make money, making money is taking priority over anything in the present day. For example, if bitcoin was only used as a means of payment, are you sure that people would use it as widely as it is today? I'm not sure about that. Not only with bitcoin, any product is created no matter how advanced the technology is, but if it doesn't bring value in terms of profit, no one needs it. I can't say for sure, but I believe 99% of people are here for the profit, not the bitcoin technology. |

What a disaster for RR! They were all bowled out for just 56 runs. A target of 171 was good to chase, and my expectation was that RR would be able to chase it. I never thought that the complete batting lineup of RR would collapse. Except for Shimron Hetmyer and Joe Root, all their batters were either out for a duck or with single digits.
Rajasthan Royals have only one more match to play. There is doubt whether it will reach the Knockout. Because there is a doubt whether they will be able to win the next match by clashing with them, while Punjab Kings are very strong. So the performance of Rajasthan Royals against Royal Challengers Bangalore is very bad. Five players were dismissed for 0 runs as Rajasthan Royals finished the match short of runs and half overs (10.3) were completed. Rajasthan Royals have one match remaining but unfortunately Rajasthan Royals will not make it to the Knockout stage. Even if they win this match, they will lose 12 points. But meanwhile, Royal Challenger Bangalore's points and 12 have enough chances to go to the Knockout stage. As they still have two matches left if they win the matches they will increase the points and have a chance to go to the knockout stage. But there is no chance for Rajasthan Royals to be eliminated before going to the knockout stage. Bengaluru and LSG if they lose their next two matches. And if Rajasthan can win their last match against Punjab Kings then they have a chance to qualify for the knockout round. The possibility of this is very low. I don't think LSG and Bengaluru will lose both of their next two matches. One team between LSG and Bengaluru will qualify for the knockout round. Both the teams have performed well in their last matches. And so it is very difficult to predict which team will occupy the fourth place in the table. |

The group stage games are at the end but so far it is difficult to say which four teams will eventually qualify for the IPL. Today Punjab Kings won against Delhi Capitals.
By winning against Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings' points 12 and Rajasthan Royals' points 5th in the points table, LSG's points 13, which means that any of these three teams may qualify for the playoffs. Except for RCB and SRH, all the teams have played 12 matches each, which means that all the teams who have played 12 matches each have two more matches left.
Since RCB has played only 11 matches so far, RCB has a great chance to qualify for the playoffs. It is not possible to say in advance who will qualify for the playoffs until the matches of all the teams are over.
i just checked out Ranking table and i think all four teams already qualified and there is no spot for RCB because despite winning next match RCB will get 12 points while LSG now standing at no 4 with 13 points. Gujrat played well in this session and now on the top in ranking table with sixteen points in 12 matches, chennai on no 2 with 15 points while MI are on 3 with 14 points. MI won last t consecutive matches otherwise they would be no six or seven. This is best chance for MI now to reach final if they win next match. I think it's the most interesting Playoffs chase in the history of IPL even after 12 matches of each team, there still isn't a single team which is 100% into the play offs and until the 12th Match of alot of them there wasn't a team which was completely out as well. Tomorrow RR vs RCB will mostly disqualify another team from the picture and then CSK vs KKR, CSK if wins might be the first team to enter playoffs and KKR is already out anyways. I think on Monday will get clarity regarding couple of spots atleast. As of now it looks GT and CSK confirm and other 2 doubtful are MI & probably LSG seeing form of both these teams. Gujarat Titans confirmed the knockout round. Chennai Super Kings need to win one of their next two matches to ensure a place in the knockout round. They will play against Kolkata and Delhi in the next two matches. Relatively weak opponent. For Chennai too, securing the knockout round is a bit easier. On the other hand, LSG, Mumbai, Rajasthan, Punjab and Bengaluru each have a chance to secure the knockout round. However, they must win the next match. If a team loses points in the upcoming matches, they will not be able to finish in the top four of the table. But I think Gujarat, Chennai, Mumbai and Bengaluru will be able to secure the knockout round. If my prediction is not wrong Gujarat Titans, CSK, Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals will qualify for playoffs in IPL 2023 season. It's just my idea but not that everything will be as I say. Many may wonder why I considered Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals for the playoffs. First, LSG have only two matches left where they face Mumbai Indians and KKR. LSG is ahead against KKR but chances of LSG winning against Mumbai Indians are slim. And Rajasthan Royals have only two matches remaining where Rajasthan Royals are facing Punjab Kings and RCB. With these two teams, the chances of Rajasthan Royals winning are very high. This is basically why I am considering Rajasthan Royals for the playoffs, excluding LSG. Rajasthan Royals' chances of qualifying for the knockout round are slim now. The Rajasthan Royals team was defeated by 112 runs against Bengaluru in the last match. Against Bengaluru, Rajasthan lost all wickets by scoring 59 runs in 10.3 overs. I think Bengaluru will be able to qualify for the knockout round. The performance of Bengaluru players in the last match was truly remarkable. Bengaluru's next two matches are against Gujarat and Hyderabad. If Bengaluru wins these two matches, it seems that they will be able to qualify for the knockout round. On the other hand, LSG's performance is now very erratic. The team may not be among the top four in the table. |
