Real Madrid's next game will be against Sevilla in which they really need to get the full three points from the game because if they fail the ar other teams they can take their place and I think the chance for Real Madrid in this game is much higher but the sad thing for Real Madrid is about this defender David Alaba, He got injured in the same against  Las Palma and the other defender in Real Madrid, Éder Militão is also injured and this can be a bit challenging for Anceltti to play against Sevilla but still, they safe option is to bet on Real Madrid for this match.
Don't worry, Real Madrid is the favorite team and is unlikely to drop a single point against Sevilla. So far Real Madrid's defense is very strong where they have only conceded 6 goals in 9 matches, that's only half of the total conceded by Sevilla so far.
Sevilla have not been in their best form so far and that is an advantage for Real Madrid who are in good form. I know Sevilla has a new coach after they fired José Luis Mendilibar, but that doesn't necessarily make Sevilla look spectacular. One interesting thing from that match was the reunion of Ramos and his former colleagues at Real Madrid.

Real Madrid will not lose points against Sevilla unless Madrid are very unlucky. Sevilla team is weak this season. They are not playing well. They have won only two out of eight matches. Sevilla was failing to win even against weaker teams. And so I don't think Sevilla will win against a tough opponent like Madrid. Madrid is in a very good rhythm. They can play very well.

Madrid's past record against Sevilla is very good. Real Madrid have not lost a single match against Sevilla in the last 5 matches. Madrid won 4 of these 5 matches. And Madrid's dominance was quite visible in every match. So I think Madrid will be able to maintain the dominance in the next match as well.

Zheng was able to win the final. This was kind of unexpected for me because I thought her opponent was really good. I actually thought she would not win the final. But even though she did lose the first set, she was able to make a good comeback and win the next two sets. And it was a pretty dominating performance from her in those final two sets in my opinion.
I skipped this match after the first set was over because I thought Krejikova would easily overcome Zheng to lift the trophy but it didn't and this was her best title so far in Zheng's career who was disappointed after being abandoned by her coach because Wim Fissette returned to train Naomi Osaka who said she was ready returning to the world of tennis and the 2024 Australian Open will be her first debut after giving birth.

ATP Tokyo, Zverev was immediately eliminated in the first round after losing to Thompson in straight sets, it is not easy to keep playing well when facing a fairly close tournament schedule, and we often see when a top player can win at the previous tournament but loses at the next tournament because Maintaining performance is not easy.

It was actually a little surprising to me that Zverev got eliminated so early in this tournament. I never thought that he was going to lose this match against Thompson. I actually thought he was going to go a lot further in this Japan Open. but I also agree with you that it is not easy at all to perform consistently when the tournaments are being played so closely to each other. of course, he was tired of playing the last tournament. But I still think that he definitely should have performed better. But as you said, maintaining consistent performance is not easy while playing these tournaments, and I agree with you on that completely.

Hope today's match we will see a very competitive match. Every World Cup we really see Australia as very strong, but in this World Cup we don't see good performance from Australia. According to the statistics of the last two matches, Sri Lanka's batting line is very strong than Australia. However, Australia's bowling line is stronger than Sri Lanka's. The toss has already taken place, Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat. So far Sri Lanka have collected 39 runs in 6.2 overs. If Sri Lanka can score 280+ runs today then Sri Lanka will have a chance to win.
Australia is a strong team but they are not in good form now. Australia are at the bottom of the points table after losing their first two matches. So it cannot be said for sure whether Australia will be able to defeat the Sri Lankan team in today's match.
  Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat. Both the openers are batting responsibly. Sri Lanka collected 51 runs without losing a wicket in 10 overs of power play. Quite a good collection. If they can deliver a target of 280+ on this pitch, I think the Sri Lankan bowlers can dominate the match. But if Australia's batsmen return to form, the whole scenario can change.
Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat early in today's match. Sri Lanka took 51 runs without losing any wicket in 10 overs of Powerplay but currently Sri Lanka's collection in 23 overs is 137 runs losing 1 wicket. At the moment, Sri Lanka will easily cross 320 runs if they continue till 50 overs. If Sri Lanka can give a target of 320 runs to Australia, it does not seem that Australia can break the target of 320 runs and beat Sri Lanka today. I don't think Australia can get back to that previous phase in this World Cup. However, it is not right to make assumptions as any playground incident can happen at any moment.

I thought Sri Lanka would give 280+ target today. Because their two openers Nissanka and Kusal Perera collected 61 and 78 runs respectively. But even then no other batsmen of the Sri Lankan squad could bat well. Apart from Charith's 25 runs, no other batsman can collect even 10 runs. And finally Sri Lanka's innings stopped at just 209 runs. I don't think it is possible to beat an opponent like Australia by giving such a low target. Because today Australia are desperate to win. Australia desperately need a win in today's match after two successive defeats.
We haven't seen better batting today than two of Australia's most important batsmen, Warner and Smith. Warner returned to the dressing room with 11 runs and Smith failed to score any runs. Mitchell Marsh was dismissed for 52 runs. Australia has now collected 121 runs after losing 3 wickets.

Today in the 14th match of the World Cup, two teams who have not seen a win in the World Cup tournament will face each other today.  Australia and Sri Lanka played two matches each where they failed to collect any points. Although these two teams could not win in the first two matches, today either team is going to win this match. Sri Lanka's aggressive batting against Pakistan and South Africa has nothing to hold Sri Lanka back in this match but Sri Lanka's biggest problem is their bowling line-up. Sri Lanka may have come to the World Cup with the worst bowling lineup in this World Cup tournament because they can't win the match despite scoring 340 to 350 runs, it's completely the failure of the bowlers. Sri Lanka's batting line-up is strong but Australia will surely come back in this match as they have already lost their first two matches due to which they are at the bottom of the points table.
Yes it is true that Sri Lanka bowling line up is very bad in this world cup. We have seen two matches both matches where Sri Lanka's bowling line-up was very poor. But if Sri Lanka can strengthen the bowling line-up today, then maybe today's match with Australia can be won. Meanwhile, Australia was once a very strong and dependable team, but in this World Cup, Australia has become a very weak team. Because Australia has played two matches in this World Cup and lost both of them. Both the teams will fight hard today in the fight for survival let's see which team will win the match. If I have to predict in advance then I can predict win for Australia. Otherwise I cannot predict for Sri Lanka.
Hope today's match we will see a very competitive match. Every World Cup we really see Australia as very strong, but in this World Cup we don't see good performance from Australia. According to the statistics of the last two matches, Sri Lanka's batting line is very strong than Australia. However, Australia's bowling line is stronger than Sri Lanka's.

It was a very close three-set match, especially the deciding set and it was Hurbet Hurkacz's second ATP Masters 1000 title.
The third set was quite difficult to predict when in the tiebreak Hurkacz managed to equalize the points at 5-5 and Rublev had at least one championship point opportunity which he couldn't take advantage of.

WTA Zhengzhou, Krejikova vs Zheng, this will be a tight match as well as it should be even though the host tennis player is more favored but Krejikova so far in this tournament is still solid so even though Zheng can become champion it will be difficult, but I predict Krejikova will be the champion in this tournament.

Congrats to Hubi on his second Masters title! Well done! Tie-breaker was very close and Rublev was even ahead 5:4 with 2 serves!

As to Zhengzhou WTA, I agree, Krejcikova is very likely to win. The match is underway now, the Czech is leading comfortably 6:2.

The last set was really close. It could have gone either way. Rublev showed a good performance to win the second set, and after that, I thought he might actually be able to win the match. But in the end, Hurkacz was able to get the win in a very competitive match. Congratulations to him for being able to win the Shanghai Masters.

Zheng was able to win the final. This was kind of unexpected for me because I thought her opponent was really good. I actually thought she would not win the final. But even though she did lose the first set, she was able to make a good comeback and win the next two sets. And it was a pretty dominating performance from her in those final two sets in my opinion.

Asides of the reining team of Manchester City i dotn see another team in that level to be a contender for this Champions League, maybe if Real Madrid with Bellingham still in this apce can have a chance, but they need a real number 9 you cant play with Joselu in this level.
Along with Manchester City, I consider Bayern Munich as a worthy contender for this year's Champions League title. This group is very strong. Their attack has been weak in recent seasons. But with Harry Kane joining the squad, Munich's attack has become stronger. I don't think Real Madrid team is strong enough to win the Champions League title. They don't have a perfect scorer now. Performance of vini and rodrygo is not stable. Also, the Barcelona team is also very strong this time. They will definitely want to do well in the Champions League.
Taking into account that Manchester City is also having trouble here and there in their games, I think yes there are a few teams that have a realistic chance to win the Champions League trophy while leaving aside some other teams that might be in for a surprise like we have seen with Inter Milan. But I still think that Manchester City has left a lot of potential in the tank. I am not sure about Bayern Munich, but when De Bruyne returns, I think they will be much stronger than now.

Manchester City's performance is a bit slow right now, it's true. They have not played well in the last two matches in the Premier League and have been defeated. However, they continued their dominance in the Champions League. They won both the matches and played very well. And it is easy to understand that Guardiola's main target is the Champions League. Guardiola will try his best to win the Champions League. At the same time, I consider the Bayern Munich team as a favorite because their coach Thomas Tuchel is quite experienced. And Munich's squad is also strong this season. Munich also have the potential to be champions.

Another one-sided contest, fans had high expectations regarding the stats, still Pakistan failed again mainly their batting unit looks too weak now, and they need to work on it if they want to beat big teams in the upcoming matches or else there is no place for them in top 4.
Hitman played tremendously, and he kept that attitude since the first ball of that inning and goes all guns blazing against all the bowlers. Now team India is in the top 1 position because of their better NRR and it starts to look like India is going to be a team that can beat all the teams in this tournament just due to their excellent performance in both batting and bowling unit.
This is the eight times that India has defeated Pakistan in the World Cup. I never expected Pakistan to lose all their wickets in just a few overs. They once had lost only 2 wickets with 155 runs on the scoreboard. As soon as Babar Azam got out everything went haywire for Pakistan.
Indian bowling was exceptionally good again today. The bowlers were able to do what the captain wanted them to. Shiraj was hit so badly in his previous overs. Still he came back big time to claim the first Pakistani batter. Bhumrah had the best figures today, took 2 wickets and gave only 19 runs. This defeat will affect the Pakistani teams performance in the World Cup.

I did not expect much from Pakistan in this World Cup. Because we saw the performance of the team's batsmen in the Asia Cup. Although there are many world class batsmen, the performance of each batsman is very erratic. But after watching Pakistan's performance against Sri Lanka in the World Cup, I thought India will fight hard. But Pakistan's batting order fell again. And Pakistan lost badly.

India's bowlers performed well today compared to last few matches. Mohammad Siraj and Bumrah picked up the crucial two wickets of Babar and Rizwan. And even then no other batsman of Pakistan could survive at the crease. Every bowler in India performed well today. India's next match is against Bangladesh. In this match too we will see only India's dominance.
69  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ICC WORLD CUP 2023 ACTUAL DISCUSSION THREAD! on: October 14, 2023, 11:10:55 AM
Pakistan's two openers did not get a better performance than the team. But Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were batting responsibly. The team collected 123 runs in 24 overs.
Both Babar Azam and Rizwan have now formed a partnership which is more than 50 runs. The both are inching close to thier respective 50s. This game is slowly moving out of the hands of Indian bowlers. They are trying to break this partnership but it seems nothing is working for them. Big hits are being expected in the coming overs from both of them.
After many attempts Indian bowlers Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan succeeded in breaking their partnership. Babar Azam was dismissed by Mohammad Siraj for his personal 50. Although Pakistan's 156 runs at the end of 30 overs is not a very special collection but if any other batting partnership with Mohammad Rizwan can make a good partnership then the team collection in Pakistan will be close to 300 runs which will be difficult for India. The Indian bowlers are also not making mistakes but have been able to put enough pressure on Pakistan's batting line-up.
Babar gone. Babar Azam got out after collecting 58 runs from 58 balls. Although his innings was not great, it was necessary. Pakistan managed to collect 162 runs in 32 overs. The team's run rate is like 5. I would say they are batting well enough. If they don't lose any more wickets before 40 overs then Pakistan will be able to give 280+ target.

Indian batsmen are in very good form. Giving them a 300+ target on this pitch does not guarantee that Pakistan will win. No matter how big the target, India's batsmen have the ability to beat Pakistan. So I still consider India as favourite.

Pakistan lost two wickets in the 33rd over. Shakeel and Iftikhar returned to the dressing room with 6 and 4 runs respectively. I expected a big innings from Iftikhar today. But he disappointed me. Pakistan collected 166 runs after losing 5 wickets in 33 overs. The match is now completely under India's control. The bowlers are bowling very well. Their bowling is controlled. Sirjan and Kuldeep picked up two wickets each and Pandya picked up one wicket.

If the duo of Shadab Khan and Rizwan does not last long then the Pakistan team will not be able to collect even 250 runs. Rizwan is unbeaten with 48 runs. He is an excellent batsman. Able to perform well under pressure. Let's see if Rizwan manages to score a century today.

It seems that Xavi will use De Jong as replacement for Lewandowski if he cannot recover and play in the match against Real Madrid but De Jong is also playing after recovering from his injury so Xavi has to really consider everything so that nothing bad happens to his players.
However on the other hand some of the latest news also states that Lewandowski can recover on time and can even take part in El Clasico and this is good news even though it is not necessarily true.
But despite all the rumors that have been circulating it seems that Xavi knows more about the Barcelona squad so he can have better plan to be able to perform optimally in El Clasico.
There are still 2 weeks to go for this Elclasico to happen and it is rumored in some reports now that Lewandowski will be available to play in their first El Clasico of the season.
I think this is definitely positive news from Barcelona even though they will be missing Lewa for the next few games, but this El Clasico is not to be missed by Lewa and he  should be ready to play if the reports are true.
However, other rumors suggest that Xavi may be starting to prepare with some options at the moment as he is trying to convince Vitor Roque to recover in time. He is a young player who has potential but he is also injured and has not even been able to make his Barcelona debut and it is rumored that he will return in January next year.
After the international break, there will definitely be differences in the team and indeed Real Madrid are currently in their best performance, but that doesn't guarantee that they will remain like that during El Clasicco, as we know, matches between two of La Liga's top teams always present tough battles. fierce with high tension so I think anything is possible to happen and this is difficult to predict.
Despite the problems and player crises due to injuries that are currently affecting the Barcelona team, I still believe that Xavi will still be able to maintain the stability of the Barcelona team.

Teams' performances are likely to change after the international break. However, Madrid and Barcelona have experienced squads. And their coach is also very experienced. And for this reason, I don't think we will see much deterioration in their performance. Real Madrid will play their next two matches against Sevilla and Barcelona. I am very interested in El Clasico. The result of this match will tell which team is most suitable for this year's La Liga title. If Barcelona lose this match, their points gap with Madrid will be 6. And reducing this 6-point gap is much more difficult in La Liga. If Madrid can win against Barcelona, then the road to become champions of La Liga will be a little easier for them.

I think getting rid of Rudi Garcia won't have a good impact either, it's not easy for a new coach to adapt to Napoli's players and it also takes more time to adapt and make Napoli better, I know that Napoli has been performing badly lately in the domestic league of course It was also Napoli's mistake to let Spalletti go for Rudi Garcia and that was a mistake they had to accept.
I think Rudi Garcia must be able to convince all fans that he can make Napoli better, it's not easy to make a big club like Napoli become a great club in a short time, let alone one season, it takes a lot of time to adapt and match the right strategy for Napoli to be able to play. better than before. replacing it is not the right choice because of course it will not change the situation quickly. definitely need more time.
Napoli didn't allow Luciano Spalleti exits, it was Luciano decision to resigned inother to have enough time for his family, he spent years in Maradona stadium for the purpose to win significant trophies which he succeeded in winning the scudetto, and he thought the best time to resigned was last season. Bringing in Rudi Garcia to filled in the shoes of Luciano Spalleti was unacceptable because he's new to Italian football and have no knowledge on coaching the team, though he's gradually fitting in but it's not enough reason to depend on him, he basically needs time to blend with the players and also the system of Seria A football. Sacking him without potential replacement will only mean bad news for the Naples.
There may be big problems for Napoli this year. They started to get unexpected results in Serie A. Losing to Lazio and Fiorentina at home is a big problem for Napoli because they will play bigger matches. If they wanted to become champions again, they had to not lose points in these matches. It's time for Rudi Garcia to be more careful.

Napoli have never been favourites for the title in Serie A. It is true that they played well last season. The performances of teams like Juventus and Inter Milan were very poor. Napoli, on the other hand, have played consistently well. So the team has no problem winning the title. But this season I don't think Napoli are favourites for the title. And I have already got the proof. Napoli's performance is unstable as usual. Another reason for Napoli not being champions is that Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus are in very good form. And I guess only one of these three teams will be champions this time.
Rudi Garcia's match strategy is not good. He is not able to boost the confidence of the players. Napoli are scoring plenty of goals but still their overall performance is unstable.

All hail South Africa! Wow! I expected them to win, but I never in my wildest dreams expected them to launch a team like Australia into the stratosphere. They made a mockery out of the men in yellow.

It was hilarious watching Smith's expression when he was given out fair and square. Australia are in deep trouble currently.

After watching South Africa's two matches, I think this team has a good squad to win the World Cup this year. Especially their batting order is very strong. They batted well in both the matches. They played well against experienced Australian bowlers. But South Africa would not have been able to score 300+ runs if not for Australia's fielding. However, I feel South Africa's bowling is a bit weak. The performance of the bowlers against India will tell if their bowling attack is strong. India and South Africa have had the strongest performances so far. If this performance continues, these two teams will easily reach the semi-finals.

Summary, invest in bitcoin and forget about the investment and hope that you will make profit after some years coming.

Even though it's a pretty good suggestion, I don't think anyone will be able to do that. You cannot forget your investment. Especially if it's a smart amount of money. It's true that people buy physical assets and they don't check the price of their assets every day. But Bitcoiners used to check Bitcoin prices every day. Especially if they are active in the crypto market. If you are someone who does not check crypto forums and do not engage in other crypto community, you may buy crypto and then forget about it. But as I mentioned above, If you are someone who talks in Bitcointalk every day, do you think you will be able to forget about your investment?

I agree with you, I believe we all know that the longer we buy and hold bitcoin, the greater our chances of making profits. Although it sounds easy, I don't think many people can do it. We invest in bitcoin with the ambition of making high profits for a better life, so it is hard to say that we should forget about it or not check the price every day. I bet you that no one can do that when our minds are always thinking about bitcoin. The halving event is approaching and many people are counting every day, so how can we forget our investments for a while? Cheesy Cheesy

Bayern Munich is experienced, and if we compare the scores of these two teams, Bayern Munich will undoubtedly be ahead. Galatasaray's squad is not very strong. But their main strength is the excellent understanding between the players. And that's why they were able to beat Manchester United.
They were also able to win Manchester United because their defense has been very bad this season and maybe we expected too much of Manchester United when they played against Galatasaray. Bayern are a bigger team and a team in a much better position than Manchester United, so winning Galatasaray should not be a challenge to them.

The match between Galatasaray and Munich is likely to be competitive. Because the Galatasaray coach knows very well that the Munich team is very strong. And this team is impossible to beat, unless Galatasaray is very lucky. So I think Galatasaray will play completely defensive in this match. And the match will try to score exactly 1 point. Even if they get 1 point from this match, the Galatasaray team can keep the second place in the points table.


Newcastle who have done well already in their tough group will play another tough game against Borussia Dortmund, but they should be able to win that game too because Dortmund is not as strong as they used to be this season.

Newcastle and Dortmund are in Group F. And to everyone's surprise, Newcastle are now at the top of the points table. This team is the most inexperienced of the Group F teams. But the way they performed in both the matches is absolutely commendable. They beat big teams like PSG 4-1. I think we will see Newcastle in the knockout round.

Galatasaray is not a team that can defeat Bayern Munich,  if you analyse the both team Bayern Munich had more experience when it comes to Champions league,  and their coach is also an experienced coach that has won the Champions League even before he came to Bayern Munich.  Bayern Munich had better squad than what Galatasaray has, so I don't think Bayern Munich playing with Galatasaray will be a difficult game.  Bayern Munich performance is still solid and it  won't be easy or possible for Galatasaray to take advantage of them .
Yes, in terms of experience it is true, Bayern Munich is more experienced in this prestigious match, the composition of Bayern Munich's players is indeed superior to above average, but you need to remember that by playing at home, Galatasaray will face fierce competition when they face Bayern Munich later, with full support from the crowd who gave encouragement, this coach's strategy was very important in facing every Bayern Munich player who had advantages in all areas. I'm sure Galatasaray will win. The match will take place with a fairly close score, namely 1-0.

Bayern Munich is experienced, and if we compare the scores of these two teams, Bayern Munich will undoubtedly be ahead. Galatasaray's squad is not very strong. But their main strength is the excellent understanding between the players. And that's why they were able to beat Manchester United. Despite not winning against Copenhagen, played well enough. Bayern Munich team is the favorite in this match. They are a very strong team and are in a very good rhythm right now. If Bayern Munich perform a little carefully in this match, then it will not be a difficult task for Munich to defeat the Galatasaray team. But I think we will see goals from both teams in this match. Even if Bayern Munich win, they won't win by a big margin.

The United States is a power country, no matter how big the debt is they will be fine. Various smaller countries borrows money all the time, it's nothing new. Besides, what they mostly do is pay off the debt that was possibly due after 10-20 years then borrow again to use it to make more money like investments and projects. As for the situation of the United States, perhaps they will do exactly what they did during the COVID-19 pandemic-- print more money and let their currency take a bit of hit. Will it affect them? Sure, but will it cause their downfall? Certainly not. Hence, if we're talking about huge debt and just how bad it might get for a country we should discuss about developing countries instead of a power country like the United States.

They will not default even if the debt figure increases to millions and trillions of dollars because they control the world's money printing machine and they always use their enormous power to export inflation to the world. But that doesn't mean it could never happen, if their position of power were threatened and overthrown their downfall would be swift. They are not the only empire that exists in this world that never collapses, let's see how long the American empire can last. Everything has a life cycle and the American empire is no exception.

With such an opportunity to spend btc to buy luxury cars-
*Will you be willing to spend your btc to buy car from Honda? Or any other automobile company that will follow the Honda's part?

*Which other automobile company would you want to also accept btc for payment?

*Is this news big enough to trigger market uptrend in the coming weeks, months?

Does Honda want to continue in Tesla's footsteps or is it only temporary, but what is certain is that this step should be appreciated because BTC is increasingly becoming a part of the business world where consumers can buy valuable goods such as cars and of course it is a driving force for other companies to participate so as to help improve public trust and interest in crypto and increasing its acceptance in the business sector.

Well, if somebody ned to buy a car using BTC now, that's definitely not the case, and to predict the trend, it could trigger an upward trend in the market in the next few weeks or months, I don't dare to speculate further.

Either temporary or long term adoption planned for this adoption to happen its still good since announcing to adopt bitcoin is already a great news to be heard. For sure there's a lot of people in business world read up this announcement created by Honda and adding bitcoin gives curiosity to them about possibilities to add this also in their company. But lets just see what will be the result of their adoption since if honda will generate a lot of sales also good result in terms of bitcoin volatility for sure this will be great in terms of good projection of bitcoin since it can somehow boost more its popularity.

People near them can now buy car without any conversion needed and they can directly use bitcoin or ethereum to make their transactions more faster.

Honda accepting bitcoin and some other cryptocurrencies as payment methods is good news for the crypto industry but what I'm thinking is will people use their crypto assets as payment methods? Because most people only like to use them as a means of investment, including us, very few consider them as a means of payment. That's what I'm doubting, even if businesses add bitcoin as payment method but most investors value privacy, will we use btc for payment?

Banning Bitcoin won't change the direction of Bitcoin. The government just doesn't like to adapt Bitcoin officially because they don't want to lose control of the economy. Don't expect any government to announce Bitcoin as the national currency. Centralised governments won't adapt to decentralised currencies where they have their own fiat. So a war will exist between the government and Bitcoin. Even many developed countries allow people to use Bitcoin, but they really don't like to adapt it. Any country won't have double currency. So the government will always oppose it. El Salvador adapts Bitcoin as legal tender, but I don't think it does help them a lot. Rather, they are forcing citizens to use Bitcoin. So other governments are monitoring them as well, but still no one is in. There are many factors; if everything becomes decentralised, then the system will collapse.

Hasn't El Salvador adopted BTC as their national currency? The Salvadorian government has been forcing businesses and merchants to accept the cryptocurrency all across the country. It even has plans for a Bitcoin City powered by "geothermal mining". I know it still uses the USD as a alternative currency, but the country might as well ditch it completely if BTC adoption becomes a huge success. I'm surprised about this, considering that governments are always striving for control. Encouraging citizens to use Bitcoin will make the government feel "less powerful".

Despite the fact that El Salvador adopted BTC as legal tender around two years ago, the vast majority of the world's countries still patronize the usage of Fiat. There are predictions that mainstream governments will "ban" Bitcoin after the launch of their very own digital currencies (CBDCs). This is to be expected after the reasons mentioned earlier. No one knows what the future holds for Bitcoin, so we can only hope for the best. Wink

I don't think they can ditch the USD and just use bitcoin as their sole currency, its volatility would cause the economy to collapse faster instead of benefiting them. In my opinion, as long as bitcoin remains highly volatile, it cannot become a currency. Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, even the president and government of El Salvador are investing in bitcoin instead of considering it just a real currency.

Currently, bitcoin is being accepted as a commodity by many governments, they have never recognized it as a currency so I don't think that when they release CBDC, they will ban bitcoin because they are completely irrelevant or compete with each other.

Sri Lanka vs Pakistan

Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat against Pakistan. This pitch is batting friendly. High scores are likely if the Sri Lankan batsmen can bat responsibly. However, Sri Lanka stumbled at the beginning of the innings. They lost the wicket of Kusal Perera for just 5 runs in the second over.

In today's match, I consider Pakistan team as favorite. However, the performance of their players is very erratic. They also lost against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup match. Still, I think Pakistan will play responsibly in today's match. Also since the pitch is batting friendly. So Pakistan's batsmen may also be able to play well. The average score of the first innings at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium is 291 runs. But I don't think Sri Lanka will be able to give a target like 290

Do you think Napoli are being affected by bad handling from Rudi Garcia? Because if we cast our minds back to that incident that led Osimhen to being the laughingstock of Napoli, we saw how the coach made a change that was not so pleasing, bringing in another attacker and removing Osimhen whereas he(Rudi) should have brought in another attacker to support the Nigerian. Or should we say the team is being affected by Osimhen? Because in football, there's a lot of criticisms and if Rudi continues to give unproductive results, his job could well be hanging and this can be fueled by the fans.
Absolutely yes, Napoli have bad performance after managing by Rudi Garcia after getting three loss on all competition such as 2 loss in domestic league and 1 loss in UEFA Champion League. Napoli not really quit well performance this season in domestic league, they have loss 2 of 8 matches and 2 draw with 4 winning matches. I don't think with Serie A winner last season have left behind 7 points from top standings position teams AC Milan. Not only about bad performance with Napoli but also Rudi Garcia can't manage well with Victor Osimhen goal productivities in this season, although have scored 6 goals of 8 matches seems still less goal productivity depend as Osimhen is Serie A top scorer last season. Rudi Garcia must back Napoli to the top performance and make few points gap with top standings position if want still in Serie A tittle race or the have forget for defending their Serie A tittle last season.

The new coach has just taken over. He should not be called a failure now. We all call Luciano Spalletti a successful coach. But when he took over Napoli, we didn't see a great performance from Napoli in the first season. Gradually he strengthened the party. And the team eventually won the previous season's title. Garcia took charge of the team not long ago. Garcia should be given more time. Gradually, maybe he will be able to make the team more stable. Napoli have played 10 matches since Garcia took over as coach. Napoli team won 5. I believe that even if the Napoli team does not win the title this year, they will be in the top four of the points table.
