Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]
Like everyone else I would say that PCB has taken a good decision if their cricket board had not accepted it would have a bad impact on their cricket.Hopefully, if everything goes well, we will see a beautiful Asia Cup. And thanks to ICC for finding a solution to this problem.
There is champions trophy coming up in 2024 and Pakistan has got its hosting rights. There are unconfirmed news that India will not visit Pakistan to play that ICC tournament and that's the primary reason it will be relocated to some other country. So BCCI was not comfortable in playing in Pakistan no matter whether its ACC event or ICC but willing to host Pakistan in India. Its a win win situation for BCCI and total loss for PCB. I am sure that the BCCI is going to cause the same issue again at that time. I wonder if it is possible to be fixed beforehand. I also don’t know how the situation in Pakistan is going to be at the time. I hope it is going to be fixed and the situation in Pakistan is also going to be stable by 2024. I also understand why the BCCI does not want the Indian players to go play in Pakistan. But at the same time, Pakistan does have the hosting rights. Another issue is going to be created in my opinion.
You're a forum legend, which means you've been through a lot of ups and downs with bitcoin. It's hard to understand why until now, you still blame exchanges or anyone every time bitcoin drops in price. News, whether positive or negative, is part of the market, and it will always affect the market. Wise people will take advantage of it to make a profit or accumulate more bitcoins, no one complains and blames like you.
It has been some months that I have been in this forum, I have started making arrangements for transacting with Bitcoin in the aspect of buying and storing. I don't have much knowledge of wallet to the extent of knowing a preferable wallet to use for storing my Bitcoin, right now I know that Bitcoin is a valuable asset from my understanding but other people doesn't accept the fact that it is really an asset, so I want to know a good wallet to use for my Bitcoin because I notice that some wallet my friends recommend to me are all exchange kind of wallet and I was told that it's not proper to use an exchange wallet for storing or saving of Bitcoin for a long time. I wish to have more recommendation or articles to read concerning wallets and it's security values but during my research I was recommended to use electrum wallet but I was confused if electrum wallet is an exchange or a custodial wallet, therefore i need a good direction, clarification and update of suitable wallet from senior colleagues.
Hardware wallets are definitely the best option at the moment, but if you don't have enough money to buy them, the Electrum wallet might be the best alternative. I have also been using Electrum for the past 5 years and have not had any problems with it. For me, Electrum combined with an old phone that is not connected to the internet is more secure than a hardware wallet.Bitcoin is just a currency, but because it is so volatile, people are taking advantage of it to make profitable investments. I haven't heard any notion that bitcoin can become a job. And if bitcoin is a job, why only women can join, but men can't? There are too many illusions about bitcoin, bitcoin can help alleviate poverty, bitcoin helps reduce unemployment, and now bitcoin may become the best job for women...I'll wait and see what more bitcoin maximists' imaginations come up with about bitcoin.
Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
PSG team management could not collect anything great from a player like Lionel Messi. In fact, I think the PSC team coach does not know how to play Lionel Messi. However, if Kylian Mbappe ever leaves PSG, the team will collapse.
In general, PSG has never depended on just two players and if PSG did depend on just two players, it was clear that the team would collapse because the team did not respect the other players in the team. But for next season what PSG really needs is a great young player even if he's not a star, because the PSG team can't keep hoping for one or two star players who aren't young anymore. So PSG must be able to find great young players in the transfer market before next season starts.Also heard there are some other people who want to leave PSG this season and it seems the owner of PSG needs to find players and this is so hard when we are talking about players like Messi.
I don't think there is anyone who can replace Messi at PSG. There is no doubt that Messi is a very good player. However, his contribution to the PSG team was not much. Messi was the most important player in Barcelona and Argentina's team. But he is not the most important player in the PSG team. Messi scored 16 goals and assisted 16 in Ligue 1 last season. There is no doubt that he has performed well. But it won't be too difficult for PSG to find a replacement for Messi.
Tottenham is just in a bad situation right now. It is not impossible for them to come out of this situation. But it will certainly take time. A lot of players are going to leave Tottenham by the time they are trying to fix the problems that they have. Tottenham had a good squad to work with most of the time. But they have failed to actually achieve a good result even when they had a good squad.
With Harry Kane certainly leaving the club it is going to be a lot harder for them to achieve whatever they want to do. A big reason why players are not going to be interested to play for Tottenham they are not participating in the European competition.
Tottenham are always in a bad situation, that's normal for them With Harry Kane certainly leaving the club it is going to be a lot harder for them to achieve whatever they want to do.

As for Kane, it seems that he told his teammates that he wants to move to Real Madrid, but since Tottenham wants absolutely unreasonable money for a not young striker (who has only one year of the contract left), Real doubts the expediency of the purchase. Or did I miss some news?
The fee is crazy how can he place such on Harry Kane the chairman of Tottenham is just selfish
Tottenham should be among the list of clubs that did bad. They should do well next time to qualify for champions league.
Tottenham management was never interested in spending more money. In the last few seasons, they have been completely dependent on the performances of Harry Kane and Son. Tottenham management could have qualified for the Champions League if the Tottenham management had spent some money to strengthen the squad. But they didn't do it. And this season they failed to qualify for the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.

PSG needs suitable replacements for these two key players. If they want to eat well in the coming season. However, we do not know which player PSG management is interested in replacing Messi and Neymar. Also, we don't know if the PSG management is willing to spend a lot of money like before. But expect PSG to form a strong squad next season.
I agree with you. Dortmund's main goal is to do business. They scout young talented players. And they develop players with experience. And sells players for a lot of money. And this is their main goal. The team is not aiming to win the Champions League or Bundesliga title. The club made a lot of money selling Haaland last season. They will likely trade Haller next season. This season Dortmund will probably add more talented young players to their squad.
Over the years that's what Dortmund always do and are excellent on it. So many players improved in Dortmund then moved to other top clubs for millions, making Dortmund richer and giving them funds to search for other players to start again.Selling Haaland was quite interesting last year and people thought that Dortmund was doomed but they played very well and were able to almost get the first rank but they failed at the end.
Dortmund never makes any mistake in picking up young players. They are able to pick the perfect player. And that's why they are able to produce a star player almost every season. There are plenty of players in the Dortmund squad. They probably have 9 strikers. And their number of defenders is 13. And I think every player is being prepared for sale by the Dortmund management. Dortmund management will likely add several more young players to the team this season as well. And next season they will make money by selling 2/3 players at high prices.

I would be happy if Harry Kane joined a Premier League club. Manchester United or Newcastle could be a better choice for Harry Kane. Harry Kane has been with the Tottenham squad for a long time. But Tottenham doesn't build a strong team by spending money in any season. If Harry Kane stays with Tottenham he won't win any title in his entire career. They should have joined some other big team earlier.

I would say PSG have had a lot of star players but their performances have been erratic. Since their overall performance was erratic, it didn't matter if their team relied on just two players. Bonding between players was weak at PSG. If they want to do well next season, PSG management should revamp the entire squad. If not, I think the team will be eliminated from the first round of the Champions League next season.
We don't know what Edin Terzic's plan and Borussia Dortmund's management actually are by selling some of their best players, it could just be that the sale is because they want to replace them by buying even better players so they can bring Dortmund to win.
If we compare Dortmund with Bayern Munich this season, it seems that Dortmund have not been able to compete Bayern Munich.
But everything can turn around in an instant because in a football match we can't really predict exactly.
Dortmund is purely a business club and it's not surprising when they can develop young talents, so if there is an offer from a European team who wants to make up for it at a fantastic fee, Dortmund will let the player go. But indeed the competition between Dortmund and Bayern Munich is endless even though Dortmund always loses its talented players every season and I think it will continue to happen if Dortmund still uses its mindset to always sell the players needed by the team to win the Bundesliga title or other competitions.If we compare Dortmund with Bayern Munich this season, it seems that Dortmund have not been able to compete Bayern Munich.

Barcelona won this league and this can be a great achievement for Xavi and his players especially when we know Xavi won the season while didn't have a good financial situation compared to Real Madrid. Barcelona also failed to hire Messi, I think Barcelona will have problems for the next season because they don't have enough good players and they need to hire many players at least they need to hire a forward to have a young alternative for Lewandowski.
Yes, you are right that next season Barcelona will have difficulty getting new players who are stronger, while Barcelona's finances are currently very chaotic.
But let's see if Barcelona's management will raise their voice on this issue and immediately follow up on financial issues that must immediately carry out player transfers to strengthen Barcelona.
If not, I doubt if in the next season Barcelona will not be able to compete with Real Madrid.

Kane seems more interested in Man United. while Mbappe I don't think will leave PSG after they lost several important players in the squad.
Madrid must find another alternative if they do not want to be left behind by City. this season Madrid is lagging behind City and they have to catch up with several player transfers. if not next season City could have dominated again in Europe.
Real Madrid's performances this season have been erratic. Benzema was injured several times. Because of this, the team cannot maintain consistency. Their performance against Manchester City in the Champions League was abysmal. They will definitely have to build a strong squad for the coming season. Otherwise, the team will not be able to win any title in the next season. Madrid's main player Benzema has left the team. Madrid also needs to strengthen their midfield. Madrid management will have to spend a lot of money if they want to strengthen the team this season.
It's rare to see someone send bitcoin below 10 sat/vb considering how quickly the transaction fees shoot up lately. It's getting lower recently with lowest being confirmed at 8 sat/vb so you could get lucky with your ~7 sat/vb today. Just hope that no "attacker" would spam the network again hehe.
Too bad bitcoin fees haven't improved in a long time. I am also planning to withdraw some of my bitcoins to convert them to fiat for some important work. But when I found the transaction fee too expensive, I have no way to withdraw my money. This is one of the disadvantages of bitcoin that many people rarely mention, if we use it as a daily payment method, it will be very bad, and we will have a lot of difficulties.
I think the thing that makes someone still poor is that he doesn't have a clear vision about money, he thinks that money is a normal thing and is not his target or hope, when he gets a lot of money it will be easy to spend it according to his pleasure, he always thinks that tomorrow there will be the same money.
What you say is also partly true, but that is not the only reason. No one wants to be poor, but everyone's situation is different. Many people are unlucky to live in a poor country with a corrupt government, no matter how hard he tries, he will never get out of poverty. Or those who always work hard, but there are too many events in life, so no matter how much you work, you can't accumulate enough to become rich. There are many reasons and causes that make someone poor forever.
Almost every country is now suffering economically due to which people's cost of living is increasing day by day and various companies have laid off their employees.If I were in his place it would be really difficult for me to manage life. Those who have no earning source know how hard life is, life of men without job is very miserable.Saving is a very important thing in people's life, those who have no savings understand how important saving is at some point.So every one of us should save money effectively in this case we need to save in some way from our needs.
Savings are necessary but won't be enough to get you through a period of unemployment because if you don't get a job soon, those savings will quickly be used up. Besides saving, I think any man should have an investment because investing in it can help us increase the amount over time, not standing still like saving. That will help a lot if one day we are unemployed, but investment is risky so be careful in choosing assets to invest.
I’m trying to download electrum to store my Bitcoin as I no longer want to use blockchain anymore since it’s not well secured. I don’t know if I should check on App Store and download electrum from there or I search on goggle?
You are using Iphone, if true, condolences to you, Electrum still does not have a version for Iphone users. I'm also on an iPhone, and I've been waiting for the iOS version for a long time, but I'm still disappointed about it. If you want to use Electrum, you should use it on a computer or phone with an Android operating system.
Re: Which platform is safe to store Bitcoin and can’t be hacked ?
I store Bitcoin on blockchain, Binance and trust wallet. I’m just wondering which other platform is safer and more secured? Since all 3 have been hacked before.
Remember when Binance was first reported that $100 million was hacked from their account, then the number went up drastically. so about 2 million tokens of BNB (worth about $570 million) was withdrawn.
Trust Wallet was also hacked and it caused the platform a damage of about $4 million estimated lose. Also, blockchain public data shows that hackers have stolen about $2 billion in blockchain cryptocurrency.

All wallets are vulnerable to hackers, no wallet is completely secure. But using a custodial wallet or exchange wallet is even more risky because we don't have full control over our assets. In addition to the possibility of being attacked by hackers, we are also at risk of having our assets frozen, having our assets confiscated without reason, and making it very difficult to get our accounts back.
So stay away from the wallets you refer to and learn about non-custodial wallets. But remember, the safety of your assets is 99% dependent on you, no matter what wallet you are using.
Re: My friend interested in investing in BTC but the friend's father does not agree
So if he's getting the money from his father who is not interested, no need to force them to invest. Your friend should start doing some gigs online or if he's young enough to get an actual job, go for it and invest out of it. And meanwhile, keep telling his father about the benefits of Bitcoin and what decentralization is and how it's saving people in country where the inflation is sky rocketing. Good Luck!
The benefits of bitcoin are undeniable. But in this case, the benefit of bitcoin will be nothing compared to his work. So no need to explain to his dad about bitcoin, what his dad said just wanted good for him. Bitcoin is a banned asset in their country, and he is a government employee with a very high salary. And if he quits his job to invest in bitcoin, there is no guarantee that bitcoin will bring him more than he already has.
The line between gambling and investing is very thin. If someone invests without knowledge, investing in a way that relies on chance, they will call it gambling. But if someone has market research, a clear strategy, a plan, they will not consider investing as gambling. But there's also nothing wrong with saying that investing in crypto is gambling because if someone just invests in shitcoins, that person is gambling rather than investing. They are expecting a profit from chance, it is no different from gambling.
Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]
I already knew that they would lose the series. I never knew that they would lose in such a humiliating manner. I was expecting them to atleast put up a target of 200 runs. Why I say they were all out for 116 runs at that point it made me clear how good the Srilankan bowlers played yesterday.
I was expecting Nabi and Rashid to bat either agressively or defensively, both failed to deliver. On thier home ground Srilanka does play good and in Asia cup they would be a team for the final contention.
The whole batting line up just collapsed infront of the Srilankan bowlers. None of their batters were allowed to form a partnership. I wasn't able to see the live match. I saw the highlights and felt that Afghanistan batters were not able to judge the Srilankan bowlers. The fielding of Srilanka was good on that day if compared to other matches. In a way it looked as if Afghanistan gave away the match. I was expecting Nabi and Rashid to bat either agressively or defensively, both failed to deliver. On thier home ground Srilanka does play good and in Asia cup they would be a team for the final contention.
The excellent performance by the Sri Lankan bowlers made it easy for Sri Lanka to win. Especially I want to say Dushamantha Chameera and Wanindu Hasaranga's performance was awesome. Chameera picked up 4 wickets in 9 overs. And Hasaranga conceded just 7 runs in 4.2 overs and managed to pick up three wickets. Sri Lanka could not have won the series so easily if the Sri Lankan bowlers had not performed so well in this series. There has been an unprecedented improvement in the performance of their bowlers.
