Re: UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

The fact that PSG won the champions League final this past season is not a guarantee that they will or they are going to win it again just like what happened to Manchester city after they won the champions League final the next season they were unable to play even semi finals.so the same may happen to PSG, I believe this your comment of comparing PSG and real Madrid is because of the poor performance of inter Milan at the champions league final.I think as long as champions League is concerned no team has won it more than real Madrid so comparing PSG that is just winning it for the first time with real Madrid is not it at all because the gap is really much. So the fact that they were able to defeat inter Milan doesn't mean that if they were to play with another team that would definitely defeat them in same manner.Is just that people were thinking that inter Milan is good and because of that they were over rated to be in good form which they were not.

It's a big achievement for PSG to win their first ever UEFA title and become the second french team to grab that title. There are cases where teams have won back to back titles and also there are scenarios where defending champion is eliminated in initial stages. It's because new season is a new beginning for every team and the one who overcome mistakes in previous season either wins the title or finishes at last stages of the season. For now PSG team and fans can celebrate the win while teams like Milan, Barcelona may sit back and review what actually went wrong in the last season.

England vs West Indies 3rd ODI

Today will be the third match of the ODI series between West Indies and England. England won the first two matches, as the series was 3 matches, England won the series with 1 match to spare. England won the 1st match by a huge margin, but the second match was competitive. If West Indies could have scored 320+ runs in the second match then maybe the result of the match could have been different. However, based on the performance, I will keep the England team ahead in today's match. I think England will win this match, today I will bet on England.

England has won the toss and decided to bowl but the match is delayed due to rain. The series result won't be disturbed even if this game is washed out. England already has won both ODIs and for West Indies it's important to win today's ODI to avoid a whitewash. In first game, England scored 400 runs and West Indies batting failed miserable during the run chase. Based on performance in second ODI, I would say that West Indies have a chance to win last ODI. It's raining in London and chances are that game may be restricted to few overs.

Are not all types of crypto or altcoin that operate in the market are very influential in their mobilization of investors, if so I speculate the current market conditions are difficult for Investors who believe in Altcoin, investors have been deterred of fraud cases that occur in the market against Altcoin.

We understand the current market situation, investors only focus on Bitcoin, so it's hard for Altcoin to move, not surprised that many famous exchanges remove new or old altcoin, because the cross volume is less than almost non-existent.

There are thousands of alts in the market with each alt claiming that it has novel features embedded inside and is best utility token. But in reality only handful alts have given good reward to their investors while majority failed to take off due to different reasons. In past we saw alts prices were tied with Bitcoin price moment but now investors are solely focusing on Bitcoin and that's why there is not much rise in price of alts despite Bitcoin touching ATH. The primary reason for this shift towards Bitcoin is that if Bitcoin governs the price of alts then why not invest directly in Bitcoin.

That was tough match for both teams because both teams gave full effort to win this match. Karan KC  was a player who took 2 wickets in this match which was great effort in both side batting and bowling and  he was awarded as player of the match in this match because he bent the match to their sides . Scotland team side Charlie Tear gave good start to get team he mde 83 run but  we saw result of match in the favour of Nepal cricket team . Many players of Nepal team did well for the team and we saw great effort by all players of that team and team gave  an average total but in the second hand their batting was at top because they changed the side of match.

My prediction during the game was that it will be a tough task for Nepal to win this game but and Nepal through hard work has won their 3rd game of this league. Nepal were seven wickets down in 38.2 overs and then we saw match winning innings from Gulsan Jha and Karan KC. It's Karan KC first half century in international cricket and it came at a time when Nepal team was down and out in the game. Nepal position on points table has improved and they are now at seventh position. This win indicates that Nepal has the potential to play good cricket and they must continue this form in upcoming matches to improve there rankings.

With patience I believe we could have gotten all this and it wouldn't feel this inorganic.

This has to happen at some point because anything that is going so good attract attention of everyone. Initially Bitcoin was ignored by government and centralised institutes but seeing it's popularity everyone is now jumping in to get there share. I don't think the interference of centralised institutes will lesson with time now because price of Bitcoin has gone up enormously and nobody wants to miss the big share.

A great match is being seen between Scotland and Nepal in which both the teams are quite good but according to my prediction I give this victory to Scotland because they are playing well and are improving the match. Their batsmen are playing the match with hard work and will play the match with full effort to win the match and get the win. If Nepal bowlers somehow work hard then they can stop the runs and get an easy target in the match which can help them win but I am not looking for any hard work and improvement from them. Scotland batsmen should make their target big and make it difficult for Nepal to win and also tighten their bowling which will give them a lot of advantage. This match can be interesting if Nepal team plays hard and struggle and there will be a lot of strength in the match.

Nepal has won just 2 games in this ongoing league and it will be a tough task for Nepal to win today's game. Nepal invited Scotland to bat first and Scotland has given a target of 297 runs. Nepal bolwers were not able to stop Scotland batsmen from scoring run nor they were able to pick wickets. Nepal has started run chase and after 7 overs the score is 46 without loss of any wicket, it's a good start and if Nepalese batsmen played with responsibility then they can win this game.

I'm n̈ot too happy with Inter Milan because eliminating Brcelona in the semi finals raised the hopes of many people, but their performance in the final was a huge disappointment.  Assuming they surrendered and allowed Barcelona to scale through to the final, it would have been very difficult for PSG to win. It's just obvious that PSG were destined to win the champions league this season.

I was not able to see the match but results next morning were shocking to me. A UEFA final ending with a score of 5-0 is hard to digest. PSG has not won any UEFA title so far but I was not expecting that Milan will show such disappointing performance in the final. Milan has beaten Barcelona in the semi finals and I was looking for an interesting final but it was just a one sided show. Congratulations to PSG fans for such a superb win in the final.

Well, nothing has changed yet and the first day of the month is almost gone and the price is still trading at $105k. Maybe the market might retrace back but how sure are you?

I was thinking BTC will not go below $100k anytime soon because how it has stretched back last month, and even if it will trace back, I don’t expect it to go below $100k even though we have seen it come below $105k last week.

Will this time be convenient for short-time traders to make big profit? Or it’s only for investors to buy and hold BTC?


Ups and downs are part of Bitcoin and we can't always see price of Bitcoin going up only. Last week price of Bitcoin went up to 110k and closing price of last week was above 104k. It's normal that Bitcoin takes correction after every bull run. There might be sell off from investors who are looking for price of 110k but in the long run Bitcoin price is deemed to go up. The price is going down and 100k will retested and if price didn't went below 100k then there is huge chance that price of Bitcoin may once again go above 100k. It's better to hodl your bitcoin and don't sell them to investors on discounted rate.

Re: Gig workers — employees or employers?

Is being a gig worker worth all the cons mentioned? or do you still find being a traditional employee more appealing?

The advantage of working as freelancer is that your income grow exponentially means more you work, more you earn and your skill set increases with time. Once you start working as gig worker, you explore more things on which you can offer your services. But it's easier said than done, a gig worker need to work all the time and be ready to accept work all the time. There are no fixed working hours unlike in 9 to 5 job.

To me both traditional employee and gig workers have there own pros and cons, there is no fixed answer about which profession is best. I am following a hybrid model in which I do a job along with freelancing in spare time and that worked well for me.

Decentralization is gradually becoming history, and we can't stop the government and institutions from getting involved with Bitcoin.

This is a truth which many of us ignore that whenever there is announcement from government regarding use of Bitcoin in the country, it means government has issued regulations on use of Bitcoin and these regulations are about government control over use of Bitcoin. We have to accept this fact that decentralised Bitcoin is not in interest of governments but the centralised one. This is also a reality that jumping of institutions into Bitcoin (like Bitcoin ETF) has also increased price of Bitcoin. In other words we have to sacrifice decentralisation and privacy for more volume and market cap of Bitcoin.

Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

At the moment, there is not a single Bangladeshi who is consistent in the batting department. Litton Das used to be consistent, before losing his form a couple of years ago. And the domestic system in Bangladesh is not producing enough younger cricketers to replace those who are already in the squad. One solution would be to ask the A and U-23 squads to tour SENA countries more frequently, but that is also not happening. There is no quick-fix solution here. Bangladesh, I feel is a lost cause.

Pakistan team has won two opening T20I matches of this series but this doesn't mean Pakistan team has become a strong team. Bangladesh team visited Pakistan last August and won both test matches. Both Pakistan and Bangladesh are struggling in international cricket and fix to there current problem lies in improving the domestic infrastructure. For now Pakistan can cheer this T20 series win but there real test will be in ICC events and also in bilateral series against countries like Australia, Newzealand and England.

West Indies cricket is facing ruin, especially since most of the West Indies players are now busy with franchise cricket in different countries, so they do not have time to focus on domestic cricket. The team that once won the World Cup cannot qualify for the World Cup in the present era. West Indies cricket has fallen behind in every aspect. In today's match, where many teams in ODI cricket cannot score up to 238 runs, the West Indies team was defeated by 238 runs. If the West Indies team is to maintain balance, it is imperative that these management issues are given importance, otherwise West Indies cricket will only be completely destroyed in the future.

It's west indies cricket board decision to give NOC to players to play T20 leagues and skip national duties. If this approach continues then very soon West Indies cricket will be over. Already West Indies levelled an ODI series against Ireland which tells how low there cricket is at the moment. England scored 400 runs and in reply West Indies wasn't able to score even 250 runs. West Indies team failed to qualify for last ODI world cup and with this performance there is very rear chance that West Indies will be able to play next world cup.

Re: Is Trading also addictive?

Yes, trading is addictive, but the only difference is that its addiction is not as rampant/tough as that of gambling and others.

The reason is that a bigger money is involved in trading, unlike gambling, where you can continue to gamble a little or a big amount, or a mix of the two, without control. The money in trading always teaches people that lesson and forces them to quit it more easily.

How do you know you are addicted to trading? Just as with other addictions, you will be unproductively and uncontrollably do it.

In trading, with every trade you do you learn something which help you in creating a future strategy. It's a fact that trading comes with experience, you have to bear loses in the start. There is no guideline that tells you how to do trading effectively, one has to figure out himself that how to handle trading properly. Whereas gambling is a different thing, where you rarely win nor you learn anything for future.

Yes, limit the amount played in the casino to overcome not going bankrupt, because there have been many cases where they did not control the budget for gambling and ended up losing everything.
Just 5% of the total income is more than enough because the purpose of playing in the casino is only for fun not profit.
But somehow until now there are still many people hoping to win a big jackpot from a small budget.

Before getting into gambling one thing must be clearly understood that in gambling its the casino who is the ultimate winner, while gamblers mostly lose money in gambling. It's best to invest in gambling that you can easily afford to lose and it's also equally important that you know what's your limit to quit. If you are losing then quit once your allocated quote is exhausted. If I want to have fun then I will prefer going to dine out with friends rather then placing bet.

West Indies vs England ODI series

The first ODI of three match series will be played today at Birmingham. West Indies recently played an ODI series against Ireland and result was a draw. If West Indies can't win ODI against Ireland then it will be difficult for them to win against the in form England team. England has called back Buttler, Jacob Bethell and Will Jacks from the IPL for this series which shows England are not taking this series lightly. Meanwhile West Indies has allowed Romario Shepherd and Sherfane Rutherford to stay in India for IPL.

It is clear that when Pakistan top batsmen did not do well their middle order batsmen stepped up. This shows they have strong team that can adjust. They scored 201 runs for 7 in their 20 overs without pressure from other team. With this steady pace even after tough start is key sign of good T20 batting.
Bangladesh however had opposite problem when they lost wicket their scoring speed really slowed down. This means they do not play aggressively like T20 games required. Your point that Bangladesh batted like ODI and Pakistan played like T20 style explains this difference. In T20 cricket it is vital to keep runs coming and hit boundaries mostly and it sounds like Pakistan did this well while Bangladesh struggled.

Saim Ayub is making a come back in international cricket after recovering from an injury, may be in next few games he will regain his form. Both Pakistani openers failed in first T20I but good thing is middle order batting gave a good support that helped Pakistan in setting a target of 201. Hassan Nawaz is a good discovery for Pakistan, if he keep performing like that he can be a valuable asset for Pakistan team who is desperately in need of batsmen that can perfom.
Bangladesh still has two more games to make a comeback and Pakistan must not take Bangladesh light as they have the tendency to win both next games.

Re: Altcoins are pumping; meme coins or utility coins?
by
WatChe
on 28/05/2025, 06:33:52 UTC
I would say "utility" tokens are better, but at the same time there are many terrible ones of that too. I know it is not an easy task, but if you could do a better job with others, then you should not be worried at all. We have seen plenty of terrible results, and so utility tokens will be terrible results. But if you know what you are doing, then you should be doing a good job with whatever you have.

Memecoins are almost always terrible and they never make profit, there are like maybe one in a thousand memecoin that made anyone money. So that is why utility is ahead of memes, but that still doesn't mean just because you got a utility token, that means you will profit. You should be careful and if you do a good job then the return should not be a bad one at all.

If you want to gamble with your money then go for memecoins and just like in gambling you are very much likely to lose in memecoin. A recent example is The Trump Coin, it went up for few days after it's launch and since then it's down. Those who bought The Trump Coin when it was trading above 30$ are in great trouble now because price has gone down to 12$ and there is no indication that it will go up from here.

If you have spare cash and looking to invest in alts then better choose top 10 from coinmarketcap.com for investment. Don't invest too much in alts, just the one you can afford to lose.

Re: Use a small amount even if you have a big budget.

I highly recommend long-term investing for those who are extra careful with risks. Not everyone can be a trader. If they are too scared of taking risks, they should choose a better alternative with limited risks. Splitting the trading capital into smaller parts, just like OP is suggesting, will not make everything perfect if the trader does not have good strategies. Moreover, they should not fail to understand that smaller capital leads to smaller profits. What this means is that the opportunity to make big profits might be missed if we adopt OP's suggestion while trying to minimize risks.

If there is a strategy available that's giving you good return with minimum risk then why go for taking risk? Bitcoin is now almost 15 years old and we are very clear that it's price will increase with time, slowly but steadily. It will be a big mistake if we ignore DCA and go for short term trading where nothing is guaranteed.

If someone is not investing today only because he has small capital then he must go and study the Bitcoin DCA first. The dollar value depreciate with time but Bitcoin value increase with every passing year, it's up to us to invest today to secure our future profit.

Maybe by the end of the month Bitcoin will reach to a new ATH.

One thing we all must keep in our mind about Bitcoin price is that it's always unpredictable. Just like there were speculations that Bitcoin won't surpass 106k this month, on same lines it's also not sure that we see price of Bitcoin touching new ATH at the end of May. Although all indicators are in favour of Bitcoin price to move forward we must also keep ourselves prepared for decrease in price.

Regarding selling at current price, I am of the view that it's still too early for anyone of us to sale his Bitcoin. If one sale right now then he will surely miss the bigger piece of the cake.

DYOR before making any decision.

Re: Saving is not enough

on 28/05/2025, 05:55:00 UTC
I think that earning money is not difficult. Because earning money is difficult for those who are not hardworking. For example, there are some people who think about money or think in their hearts that how to earn money but they do not do anything to earn money or do not even try. But for a hardworking person, earning money is not difficult because they never sit down, they do whatever work they get, they do not have any kind of worry about their work. If a person works with his maximum and if he becomes very passionate about his work, he can improve very quickly.

There are many people who like to show people more than what they have. For example, there are many people who spend more than their monthly income to show people, they never save and they are often involved in debt. My parents go to many shops before buying some things, check and buy so that they can buy at a lower price. But there are many people who do not do this, spend as they please and have no savings.

Hard work always pay back if not in short term then definitely in long term you get reward of all the pain you undertake. If we look around then there are cases of people who struggle hard in there life and they get adequate reward for that struggle at some point of there life. But those who never try to improve there living standards maintains a status quo in there life.

It's also very important to spend what's in your pocked and stay away from bank loans and credit card. We can save lots of money while buying things like clothes and shoes if we opt for normal shops instead of going for brands. It's up to us whether to live a happy life by spending what we can afford or live a stressful life by living a life to impress others.
