I'm surprised that Japan is not on the list even if their country is known to have an advance technology.
Not only Japan but also Germany and Italy, they are also countries famous for their advanced technology and strong economy but they do not have the right to possess nuclear weapons. The reason is because they were the cause of World War II, and after being defeated, superpowers like the United States and Russia forced them to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). To ensure that they will not shake the world again and in return they will have peace and receive protection from the US and the EU.
But its not the end of everything even if they don't have spare funds to invest. Because they could work with it to gain extra income so that they would have another source of fund to use for their Bitcoin investment.
There are lots of opportunity we could find not only in online but also offline. If they are just hardworking people there's good chance that they can work those things and could have Bitcoin investment. But if they are lazy and just think about they don't have chance to invest now because Bitcoin is expensive for sure this mindset will not bring them any success then they have high chance to get stuck on their current situation.
I cannot understand your point of view because I have seen how poor people live many times. They work in the lowest-paid jobs, such as janitors, salespeople, porters, etc., waking up at 5:00 a.m. and returning home at 8:00 p.m. Many poor people are not lazy; they do work that is necessary for society. They are not hired for higher-paying jobs because they have neither the education nor the skills for them. They do not have disposable income not because they like to lie on the couch and watch their favorite shows. They are simply in a position where everything they earn is spent on providing for their children, paying for housing, and buying food. It is not entirely clear how to look for additional income or invest in Bitcoin in such a situation.
Yes, not all poor people are lazy. Sadly, many people have the narrow-minded and discriminatory notion that poor people are lazy. There are many people who work hard and struggle all their lives but still cannot improve their lives, not because they are lazy but because they face challenges greater than their ability to endure.
I have met such people too and can say that maintaining a life with them is a challenge, let alone saving and investing in bitcoin. Even saving is sometimes a luxury for them.
Is there still hope? I'd say, yes. But it's going to take quite some time before the world gets used to BTC as an alternative currency. El Salvador might need to wait until the deal with the IMF comes to an end, to continue with its Bitcoin agenda. Patience is a virtue.
The deal between El Salvador and the IMF will last more than three years and we still don't know what will happen after that. Can El Salvador restore its economy or will it continue to fall into crisis? So in my opinion, if they are forced to stop the whole bitcoin agenda, it means there is almost no hope for bitcoin adoption as a currency in their country in the future.
Furthermore, their failure was not due to the IMF, but rather their failure to convince people to use bitcoin as a currency. Because according to reports, more than 90% of people do not want to use bitcoin instead of fiat. If they still want to pursue the bitcoin agenda, they first need to change their strategy and approach...
Yes, you are absolutely right. Bangladesh International T20 cricket team gave excellent effort in the last match and that team gave excellent target in this match. After we saw brilliant bowling by bowlers of that team and we saw one sided match because Sri Lanka International cricket team performance was very bad in all sides . They could not do well in bowling and also in the batting as tvdg gave more runs in the first inning and after we saw bad performance by players. Nine players of that team could not enter in double figures which was very bad performance as they could make only 94 runs in this match and we will see final match of the series after one day and that match will decide which team will win the series.
Bangladesh showed great strength in this match. Liton and Shamim batted well. As a result, the team was able to achieve the target of 178 runs. Every bowler in the squad bowled well in this match. So Sri Lanka could not collect even 100 runs till the end. Congratulations to Bangladesh for winning.
However, Bangladesh has a previous record of losing 3/4 consecutive matches after winning a match. In one match, this team suddenly performed well, surprised everyone by winning by a big margin. And then performed poorly in several consecutive matches. So I am not very optimistic about Bangladesh winning the series. Even though Bangladesh won the last match against Sri Lanka by a big margin, I would say that the performance of this team is very irregular.
You can imagine how the odd was given upon Chelsea to win with 5 odds, to tell that many already expected that the undefeatable PSG will maintain the usual victory, but this time, Chelsea renounce that for them and rewrite the story, it all came a surprise for us all, the match was fun and that is football for you, you can't accurately predict on it outcome until the final result is out, this is getting excited already.
PSG performed well in the previous matches, none of us thought that PSG would lose. PSG won very easily against strong teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. In every match we saw PSG play well and win. So PSG was naturally considered as the favorite against Chelsea.
But from the beginning of the match we saw Chelsea players dominate the match Maresca changed his match strategy. And was able to identify the weaknesses of PSG's defense. As a result, PSG players were under pressure from the beginning of the match. However, Chelsea's goalkeeper Sanchez performed excellently. Sanchez made several important saves. As a result, the road to securing a big victory was easy for Chelsea
I didn't hesitate on taking on the initiative to bet in favour of Chelsea yesterday while the odds for Chelsea was still up at odds 5.20 and it could be that many gamblers out there are also taking a shot at the high odds alloted to Chelsea in this finals. We ain't 100% sure of if PSG are going to win despite they looking as the favourite in the game tonight. So I think the bookmakers are only taking precautions by lowering the odds for Chelsea and increasing that of PSG to lure more gamblers to take interest in risking that of PSG.
Very few gamblers have taken the risk of betting on Chelsea's victory. However if Chelsea can somehow win, they will win a lot of money. Since the profit here is very high, many have taken the risk.
Undoubtedly, PSG is the hot favorite in this match. Chelsea's performance is still a bit unstable. Besides, Chelsea has not faced any big team on the FIFA Club World Cup platform. This is the first time Chelsea will face any big team. So it is not possible to predict with certainty how Chelsea will perform. It is true that Chelsea has the ability to play well. But PSG is in the best form in their history now. They do not care about any team. They are blowing away every team.
Yes, my friends, the impact on our economy is expected to be significant, but unfortunately, we are not alone in this. Other countries will also see their economies affected by Trump's "protectionist" taxation.
The American economy is also not going to be left out if Trump starts an economic war, remember that the United States imports significantly from the Brazil market, so a retaliatory 50% tariff from Brazil would also be significant for the U.S. and its customers.There is no trade deficit between the United States and Brazil, and in fact, the value of US exports to Brazil is greater than the value of imports. That means if Trump wants to have a trade war with Brazil, they will be the country that suffers more.
Brazil is a rare country that has a trade deficit with the United States, along with the Netherlands and Hong Kong, and taxing these countries would not benefit American businesses and consumers.
Trump cannot successfully bully the entire world and if he keeps up with it, over time it will only push the rest of the world to trade more often with one another and avoid the U.S. market in situations when they can, which will be bad for them.
Even if he had no such intention, with the threats he made, the rest of the world woke up and tried to stay away from the US market because no one wants to be bullied or threatened again in the future.
BRICS is benefiting more than ever as more countries want to join and become partners.
I tried many years ago but then I just give up... as worker its a wise decision to not get fully paid in bitcoin. because many expenses are still in FIAT.
even you can exchange/use some tools this is not the same to paying directly with FIAT because there are always fees and so on.
I means add another hidden.
The best solution is always a DYI= buy btc when you get you salary but keep a portion of FIAT for the fized expenses

Formal employment is indeed very frustrating because the government doesn't yet have a well-developed tax system. We'll be subject to more taxes, including exchange taxes for fiat currency, which we'll use for our living expenses, since stores don't accept Bitcoin.
However, for informal work, like in this forum, or freelance work, I prefer Bitcoin because it's tax-free and only involves fees. I think that's much better.
Taxes are just a small, insignificant nuisance. For me, bitcoin volatility is the biggest nuisance we face. What if we just got paid and the bitcoin price suddenly corrects sharply, losing more than 10% of its value?
But yes, if it's a side hustle then getting paid in bitcoin is fine, even beneficial for long term bitcoin investors like us. Because it's like we're accumulating our investment. But honestly, getting paid in fiat or stablecoin is still much better because we will be more proactive.
Re: 8 months ago Microsoft voted against putting bitcoin on their balance sheet.
Not a very smart move. Larry Fink does not approve.
MS had tens of billions in cash to invest. Would it have killed them to allocate
just a tiny bit, maybe $10 million or so to bitcoin?
I hope they enjoy holding on to their rapidly melting ice cubes of cash.
What did MS do with all that cash? They probably put much of it in bonds, even
after Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan and many others predicted a high likelihood of a
crash in the bond market. No country wants to buy that worthless shit anymore.
China and Japan the two biggest holders of US bonds are dumping them like crazy.
So why would any sane person want to hold that shit? I swear the MS Board of Directors
and shareholders are dumb as dirt. Meanwhile their worthless bonds are losing value faster
than a melting ice cube.

They’re stupid and still don’t understand Bitcoin. The real inflation rate is much higher than the yields they’re getting from bonds. Most people still don’t get that Bitcoin is a lifeboat.
Don't call them stupid just because they refuse to invest in bitcoin. If they were stupid, they wouldn't have been able to build a trillion dollar empire and become the 2nd largest company in the world. Stop calling them stupid when you both use their products and services to invest in bitcoin.
I bet you, no matter how bad inflation gets, MS shareholders will still live a fuller and more luxurious life than most bitcoin investors here. Please stop, stop teaching rich people how to make money and spend money.
We can see that Xabi Alonso is experimenting with Madrid's squad. Even before facing PSG , we thought that Madrid's squad had stabilized and was improving quite quickly with the help of Alonso. But after losing 4- 0 against psg , we realized that Madrid's squad is still bit fargil. Especially their defense is still shaky.
We saw Hansi Flick's Barcelona perform well last season. The team's performance was also very stable. Barcelona did not make any changes to their squad this season. Barcelona has kept the squad unchanged. So Barcelona's performance is more likely to remain stable.
It is certain that Barcelona and Madrid will fight for the La Liga title next season. I do not expect much from Atletico Madrid next season. This team's performance is still irregular
It is true that Real Madrid players are not able to adjust to Xabi Alonso coaching style right now, as the four-goal defeat against PSG proves. They need more time to adapt to Xabi Alonso coaching style. I believe Real Madrid will be able to maintain their position in La Liga next season.We saw Hansi Flick's Barcelona perform well last season. The team's performance was also very stable. Barcelona did not make any changes to their squad this season. Barcelona has kept the squad unchanged. So Barcelona's performance is more likely to remain stable.
It is certain that Barcelona and Madrid will fight for the La Liga title next season. I do not expect much from Atletico Madrid next season. This team's performance is still irregular
Hansi Flick coaching style has been adapted by Barcelona players. Hansi Flick players have achieved exactly what he expected from them last season. This shows that the team's performance is stable and has a high chance of staying in the future. Barcelona will not be able to win the La Liga title easily next season because Real Madrid will be their opponent.
Hansi flick was successful last season. Barcelona's forward is enough strong. Raphinha, Yamal and Lewandowski can performed well. On the other hand barcelona's midfield is stable. and full of talented players. That's why we saw Barcelona win by a big margin in every match against Madrid. barcelona' s squad was very stable last season. That 's why Hansi Flick is not keen to make any big changes in the squad. If the bonding between the players is strong, this squad can dominate La Liga next season.
If Madrid's players can't adapt quickly to Xabi's match strategy , then winning the Laliga title will be difficult. We saw madrid's weak defense last season , and we see Madrid's defense is still the same. Xabi alonso now needs to understand that Madrid's defense needs a tactical change to strengthen it. Madrid's defense already has a lot of talented defenders.
Barcelona's players are much more optimal because they adapted well to Hansi Flick's coaching style last season, while Real Madrid's players need to adapt first to Xabi Alonso's coaching style. It's only a matter of time. If Real Madrid's performance isn't as expected, there might be circumstances that aren't working well, such as the loss of several key players which could hinder the strategy's perfect execution. But I'm confident Real Madrid will be one of the contenders for the La Liga title next season because, given the current conditions, only Real Madrid has a chance to compete with Barcelona.

For the sake of speculation, if Chelsea were to win this Club World Cup, they would have been better than Liverpool this season, because they would be opportune to get two international trophies, while Liverpool had only a domestic trophy. But that’s not the main case now, Chelsea will have to go into this battle, even though they know they might lose it. But I have hope they might score, even if it’s a single goal.
Chelsea have qualified for the FIFA Club World Cup final. But Chelsea have not yet faced any big clubs. And that is why it was easy for Chelsea to qualify for the final.
In the final, Chelsea are going to face the strongest team in this tournament. And naturally, PSG is considered the favorite. It is assumed that if PSG does not make any big mistakes in this match, it will not be difficult for them to become champions. BTW, would anyone take the risk of betting on Chelsea's victory?
New players and coaches are still making arrangements on how they can have a successful season. Just as you said about Xabi Alonso, he is still making arrangements for his club, as he is trying everything possible to have a successful season at Real Madrid in his first season with the team as a manager. I know he will face many challenges because he needs time to get the players adapted to his style of game.
Xabi Alonso is a talented coach. But we don't know if he will succeed with Real Madrid. A mediocre team like Leverkusen dominated the Bundesliga with Alonso. But Alonso has never been the manager of a big team like Madrid before. It is also quite difficult to control so many star players.
Alonso will definitely try his best to succeed in his first season with Madrid. Madrid management is ready to take all the necessary measures to strengthen their squad even more. Madrid is also willing to spend a lot of money. Alonso will definitely have to bring good results. He should consider the defeat against PSG as an accident and move forward.
However, I disagree with the last sentence. I agree with Roma, but not with Milan. We know that Milan has made improvements by firing their previous coach and replacing him with Allegri. We also know that Allegri has a wealth of experience, especially in Serie A. I think Milan will be stronger next season and can pose a threat to Napoli, Juventus, and Inter. Allegri has completely overhauled the Milan squad, especially in midfield after bringing in Modric, a midfield general who will provide more stability to Milan's midfield next season.
It is difficult to make predictions about Serie A. Last season we considered Inter Milan as the favorite for the title. But in the end Napoli became the champions. Doubtlessly Napoli was very lucky.
Inter Milan is a strong team. Last season they did not focus on Serie A. They tried hard to win the Champions League. That is why Inter Milan's performance in Serie A was irregular. Inter Milan will not make this blunder next season.
I have no expectations on Juventus and AC Milan. Unless Juventus changes its match strategy, it will not be possible for this team to dominate Serie A. On the other hand, Milan's overall condition does not seem stable to me yet.
Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
Karun Nair is batting well and with Shubman Gill next to come, India need to get as big partnerships as possible and they are quite comfortable on this Lord's pitch. I think India has comeback good in this match and they have slightly better positioned in this test now.
It will not be easy for India to take the lead in this match . The team has lost two wickets for 74 runs. KL rahul and Gill are now at the crease. In the last two matches, we have seen better batting from gill. As usual , if Gill can play a big innings in this match too , then India will be able to take the lead.
Karun Nair had a big chance to solidify his place in the Indian squad. But after this series, it is more likely that we will not be seen Nair in the Indian squad. Nair was able to score a total of 20 runs in the first match. This batsman could not add any runs to the scoreboard in the first innings. Nair was able to score a total of 56 runs in the second match. He was able to score 40 runs in the first innings of the third match. India definitely expected better batting from Karun nair. If Karun Nair fails to do well in the second innings too, then the India management will look for a new player in this position.
As long as the block size remains unexpanded and no significant improvements are made, the Bitcoin network could become congested and transaction fees could spike at any time.
According to some reports, transaction fees have improved significantly as transactions on Bitcoin's mempool are at record lows, with the mempool even being empty at times. This shows that on-chain transaction demand is decreasing significantly, not that bitcoin transaction fees are improving because the network is improving. So we cannot expect this to be sustainable or last forever. Because at some point, the demand for on-chain transactions increases, the network becomes congested and high fees are inevitable.

Re: Is Bitcoin really better than gold for long-term savings?
The fact that Bitcoin is younger than gold but has already been compared to it says a lot already. Just a clear indication that Bitcoin is better than gold and will hold more significance in the future.
People who still struggle to accept this are just holding on to the past.
The fact that a 16-year-old asset like bitcoin is being compared to a thousand-year-old asset like gold shows the huge potential of bitcoin. But that doesn't mean bitcoin will outperform gold or be better than gold because they are two completely different assets. A virtual asset and a real asset, meaning they are not interchangeable, how can one be said to be better than the other?
Why don't they call Bitcoin is Gold or Gold 2.0, and just call it digital gold? That means they will not replace or compete with each other.
Gold is not only used for investment and as a store of value, but also has practical applications in most industries such as electronics, medicine, electronics and in life such as jewelry, cuisine...Can Bitcoin take on those roles? How can it be said that it is better than gold when it is only used for speculation and has no other practical application?
Elon was for crypto even before but people from the internet are putting too much clout of what he's said that fiat. Before most of us are happy when Trump talked about the support for Bitcoin.
And now, we see that it's Musk that's saying that he's for Bitcoin even though we already know that he's for crypto but mostly with memes before.
Many persons are not mad at Elon Musk because of his love for memecoins. They're because of his criticism of Bitcoin, and he didn't just criticize it but went ahead and stopped accepting purchases of Tesla in Bitcoin. Hence, his remark about the new party accepting Bitcoin is not sincere. He only said that because he wants support from the Bitcoin community, and the moment he's done. He will go back and be talking nonsense about Bitcoin.And now, we see that it's Musk that's saying that he's for Bitcoin even though we already know that he's for crypto but mostly with memes before.
But one thing that most people overlook is that Tesla still holds more than 10kBTC to date. That means Elon's support for bitcoin hasn't gone away and he's just reiterating his support. The difference between Elon and other politicians is that he has been supporting bitcoin since 2021 while Trump and other politicians have called bitcoin a scam before. They only really changed their tune and came back to support BTC when they ran for president.
Trump called bitcoin a scam in 2021 when he left office at the end of his first term, why is no one mentioning this?

I am thinking for those who wants to hold bitcoin, this is the perfect opportunity to acquire bitcoin without having to buy it on your own. Lessens the steps to be taken but I see your point because after all, you would not be using all your salary to buy bitcoin so at least half has got to be converted to fiat. But if there could be a time when even grocery stores accept bitcoin then that problem will be solved.
If you don't have to buy bitcoins, you will not have to pay for trading fee, withdrawal fee from centralized exchanges or price difference from in-person trades. So theoretically it is very good to receive bitcoin directly from your company and it is more helpful if they allow you to provide them a receiving address from your non-custodial wallet.Above are advantages, but there are also disadvantages that certainly affect you if you don't have reserved fund to use and still need to use your monthly salary payment. If you have such need, you will have to sell your bitcoin, and it costs you on-chain transaction fee, trading fee but more possible important thing is volatile price change of Bitcoin.
I find that receiving salary in bitcoin has more disadvantages than advantages. Bitcoin volatility doesn't just affect our daily lives because we also need to convert some bitcoins into fiat money to spend. That will also affect our bitcoin accumulation, it makes accumulation more passive instead of active. It would be a loss when we get paid and bitcoin price skyrockets, but then price starts to plummet and we don't have fiat to buy the dip. Meanwhile, receiving salary in fiat currency will help us be more proactive in accumulating bitcoin with better discount.
PSG is proving that winning the Champions League was not a coincidence and that they really are this good.
You are right. After psg won the Champions l eague, many people said that psg won the Champions League title due to good luck. But I don't believe this. PSG played great on the Champions League platform. Even in the last season , psg played well on all platforms.
Not as important a trophy as the fifa club World Cup. However , today 's match was very important for both teams. Both Madrid and PSG got the opportunity to prove their capabilities. But Real Madrid lost badly today. I was not prepared to see such a defeat.
The match ended 4- 0. More importantly , we saw the dominance of PSG players throughout the match. Real Madrid players could not make any strong attacks throughout the match. Xabi alonso needs to work more with this team. Madrid's overall condition is still completely unstable.
