Exactly one week ago the FIFA World Cup kicked off. This year's tournament takes place in Qatar. In the opening match, around which there was a lot of controversy, the hosts of the tournament faced the national team of Ecuador and lost 0:2. This edition of the World Cup, even before the beginning, brought us many questions and fears regarding the state of FIFA and the legality of its activities. Apart from the fact that this championship is held in Qatar is the result of corruption and bribery in the 2010 draw, we hear many rumors that even some matches of the tournament can be "bought". Already before the opening match, Skysports journalists came to the information that the Qatari sheiks were to offer the superiors of the Ecuador national team a total of $7.4 million in exchange for allowing the Qatar national team to win the match 1-0. Ultimately, this did not happen, but the intention to do so puts the integrity and fairness of the tournament in a very bad light. sour...

Today, on 1st of November 2022, a very popular and influential raper, Takeoff, a part the rap trio - Migos, known all over the globe, got shot dead. Sources say that Takeoff took part in an argument that broke off because off a misunderstanding while playing dice game. The brawl turned into a shooting and Takeoff was the one that became a victim of that. The whole rap world is in tears and expresses it's sadness in memory of the artist. Takeoff was 28 years old. We have heard stories like this a lot in the past, 2Pac, Biggie, and many more. It is not the first and unfortunately probably not the last time a popular persona related to music andmedia dies as a result of a shooting. It sadly shows how inhuman, brutal and evil the enviroment, from which the celebrities coming from poverty, gangs, etc. really is. Takeoff was a great artist that gained legendary status while he was alive. All we can do now is pray in loving memory of him and hope tragedies like this won't happen in fu...

Exactly a week ago a french football player for Real Madrid, Karim Benzema, won the 2022 Ballon d'Or award. This is an award given by a french magazine "France Football" to the best football player in the world every year since 1956. This is the most valuable and most important award a player can win in this sport. Even though the winner is announced at the ceremony, the day the award is officialy given, this years Ballon d'Or winner was known as speculated for the last 4 to 5 months. Karim Benzema was far ahead of his comp etition this year that everyone speculated him as this years winner. So it came in no suprise when he was granted the Ballon d'Or last week. It was only the 2nd time in the last 14 years the award did't go to either Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Those two are recognised as the two best and most famous players for the past  20 years, both of them also hold the 1st and 2nd place in the number of Ballon d'Or's won -  Messi with 7 ...

Over the past few days, we have heard disturbing information about the condition of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. There has been a gas leak from the pipeline in several places, and on a huge scale. According to experts and specialists, such a leak could not be caused by an ordinary failure. After a short time it turned out that it was not a failure but an organized attack on the largest sea gas pipeline in the world. Despite the fact that neither authorities had come forward with a clear case, nor had any suspects thought of admitting the offense, it is clear that hundreds of kilograms of explosives were needed to leak the gas. Whoever had gathered up for such a disgraceful courage to blow up the gas pipeline must have had a clear goal connected with it, which, looking at the destruction, damage and loss it caused, did not meet his expectations. So far, it seems that blowing up the water pipe has caused more media hype and interest than the actual damage. One might speculate that thi...

In recent weeks, numerous highly destructive protests have erupted in many cities across Iran due to the death of a young woman named Mahsa Amini. The woman was killed a few days after being arrested for breaking the hijab law. The official version says that the woman suffered a heart attack but the victim's family said she was perfectly well before the arrest. Suggestions arose that the woman might in fact have been killed. Iran's tumultuous protests are nothing new. Obviously, this case affects much more women who have protested against the hijab law more than once in Iran, but yet with very little success. Hence the question, why these protests would change anything? So far, a total of 60 people have been killed in protests, both policemen and ordinary citizens. This is the first time any upheaval against the law in Iran has produced such results. Additionally, taking into account the progress of today's world (even taking into account the strength of faith and the fairl...

The ability to notice this events or future important cases is exactly what allows you to predict is crypto going to go up or down. This of course doesn't work every time cause as I said earlier crypto varies not only due to political changes but also due to its own 'problems'.  But no matter what it is always your own and personal decision to buy or sell your crypto. As a summary I can only say that predicting for ex. cryptocurrencies value due to world events works, but not every time. Sometimes it is a 'gold mine', for (not only crypto,) investors like Rafał Zaorski  ,and sometimes it is just a complete, miserable try that may or may not cost you losing your money, because as we all know (0:37) and it is the same in the crypto world.
