101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mempool Observer Topic on: April 20, 2024, 06:13:38 AM

To be honest, i never seen such high fees at mempool before, over a 1000Sats/vbyte  Huh
At first thought that after the halving some miners may be shut down, resulting in the backlog of the transaction but later i found out it was because of Runes, this fee spike.



Miners must be enjoying this while the rest of us are just waiting for the dust to settle.  Sad

102  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Anyone +18 Play Gamble? on: April 19, 2024, 09:59:14 PM
Does gambling needs experience or anyone +18, even the inexperienced one can also play? Though playing gamble has a limited age grade or age bracket and the accepted is from  +18 years and there are some casinos hall at the door post, it is written clearly that it is only people of +18 can play. But what about the inexperienced ones, are they allowed to play gamble as well? Or they are also restricted to have the fun? In my observation, there are two elements to participate in gambling.

Well, on paper, it is required that you are an adult and have certain age limits before you can gamble but I have seen this is by passed by many casinos especially those who are operating online. The only way to check the age is from the KYC and many online casinos will allow you to gamble without the KYC. So there is no way to know if the person on the other side is a minor or an adult  Huh
Also, some casinos will ask for the KYC on withdrawal only, so there also minors can easily gamble though they won't be allowed to withdraw money unless they do the KYC (maybe get help from their elder brother or parents to do the KYC on their behalf).

One, you must above 18 years in my country and secondly you must have an experience to play, so I want to know if inexperienced people can also play gamble.

I think that none of the gambling sites (online or physical) will restrict you even if you do not have any experience playing. Yes, the gambling site can check that you are 18+ through KYC or physically showing the ID card with your date of birth written on the card but there is no way to know if the person is an experienced gambler or a newbie.
103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How does the game of luck in gambling really works? on: April 19, 2024, 09:48:36 PM
He went silent at me for over 10mins and finally, it was the casino game tha he was busy playing.
The next thing he said to me was... Mate, let's roll out to the mall, I am taking charge of your bills tonight.
It was like a joke and we both went shopping and he paid $800 of my bills.
Guess what fellas, he said he won $13,980 in his casino bet while I was in his house. He claimed it was by my grace of goodwills and positive energy that attracted him that luck to win so, he don't mind having me 10% of that winning because he can't remember the last time he won a bet.

I don't really believe this dude because such grace has not even worked for me although some of my physical trader friends sometimes says they have more customers anytime I comes around their trading centres and they love having me around.

Does this really happen a reality or it is just some sorts of mental reasoning fellas?

When I read this story twice or thrice I came to know that the main thing in this was he was silent for sometime and then he started gambling. This makes me think that he might be a religious person who could have prayed to god for help, believed in himself and then with confidence he played and won a good amount.

But this does not mean that he overcome luck or this formula can be done by him or anyone and there will always be a win. There are so many players who remain silent before and during the game but the luck will not favor them. So I would still take this as a coincidence.

By the way, ask your friend that does he always wins when he gambles. I guess the answer will be "No" and it will prove that we never know when luck can change our game  Smiley

Chennai Super Kings is a reputed team but their performance today was not satisfactory. Their batsmen performed poorly from the start which had a big impact on the team. They couldn't have made the score longer if Dhoni wasn't batting at a strike rate of 300. Moreover Ravindra Jadeja has done the most for the team and these two batsmen remain unbeaten. If some players of Chennai Super Kings could have made runs from the start along with Ravindra Jadeja and Dhoni giving their maximum to the team then it would not have been so easy to beat Chennai Super Kings in this match. However, both the batting and bowling of Lucknow Super Giants were commendable. They were very confident in batting from the beginning. A great partnership between Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul was one of the reasons for Lucknow Super Giants victory. They batted very efficiently in the power play and the next few overs.

I think we should also give credit to Lucknow Super Giants who really took this match to their level best and turned out to be a much more mature and better team on the ground. KL Rahul and his team showed the maturity in the batting line up which was lagging in Chennai Super Kings teams.

I wonder why MS Dhoni do not come up the order as the CSK is missing someone like Dhoni in the top order who can not only survive on the wicket but make quick runs too so that the pressure is lifted from other batsmen of the team.

I hope no one miss to watch this innings from KL Rahul that made him not only win this match but also put him on the player of the match award. He made a brilliant 82 runs in 53 balls for his team.

I must say that bitcoin performance is really encouraging. In the past when there is any rumors of war, or any negative news bitcoin price were always heavily affected, but recently I have been observing that even with many uncertainties around the world, Missiles are being fired and Israel promising retaliation and all of that, bitcoin price haven't been badly affected like it usually do in the past. This is to prove to use that lots of investors are hodling instead of being paper hands like what we used to have in the past. This is telling us that there is a big price push that's coming very soon. A time is coming when we all will wish for bitcoin to get back to it's current price not but it will be too late.


All the negativity news about bitcoin and also about the geopolitical situation have the least negative effect on bitcoin effect on bitcoin in the long run. This is because people know that bitcoin is the safest investment that has no inflation. Even the Gold which has the highest market cap does possess some inflation.

For those people who think that 60-65K prices are higher for bitcoin, there will be a time when those people will be willing to buy bitcoin even about 100K bitcoin. Right now, if anyone can buy and hold as many bitcoins as possible, it will surely help him achieve financial independence in the near future.
106  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin pump|before halving on: April 18, 2024, 07:58:53 PM
Well, the market doesn't always go against the crowd if the crowd is reacting to what they think is going to happen which means that if the crowd thinks that the market will drop and they don't buy, the market will have a hard time going up because there won't be much demand and that many buyers. Similarly, if the crowd thinks that the market will go and they start buying, the market will go up because there will be more buyers than sellers in the market.

Leaving that aside, I would also say that I'm optimistic that the market will start recovering from this point onward and there won't be a further dip, but then again, we can only make predictions and the market can react differently based on any event or news that might circulate in the industry next.

The bitcoin market is near to its previous All time high of the last bull run and a few days before it even made a new all time high before the halving which is something unique and this never happened in any of the previous bull markets.

However, a 4000-5000$ bitcoin pump should not be classified as a bull market and similarly a few thousand dump is normall and should not be considered as a bearish market.

No matter if we are moving up or down, this will not be in a straight line and people will get excited or sad on every pump, dump or relief rally and all this trading stuff. In the long run, bitcoin will make a parabolic run sometimes at the end of this year or at the beginning of the next year.

Hi fellow Bitcoiners!

Me and my team are building blockchain based platform for investments in real world forests. Right now we are working on stablecoin implementation, however, I would like to ask you - would you be interested to buy forest backed security tokens with Bitcoin and if so would you prefer to receive dividends in Bitcoin over stablecoins? If you are interested further in the project, our website is https://www.upwood.io where you can read our whitepaper and sign up for waitlist.

As i understand this, the next hype in the crypto world is "Real World Assets." and therefore you are trying to build something similar prototype token and hppe that people are interested in the project and may offer for investments  Huh
Sounds a bit harsh, but this is the really where most people these days come up with an idea on how to hands on people's money without getting or developing anything worth investing.



Just tried to check your site where there is nothing but an idea of an "Investment Platfrom"  Huh
Why would anyone be interest in putting their money here.

In today battle, Travis Head is most favourite batters from Sunrisers Hyderabad squad and they destroyed Royal Challengers Bengaluru squad very badly in batting Inning. One more time Sunrisers Hyderabad squad again break their most highest defeating target record in Indian Premier League of total 277 scores I think.

What a great innings by Travis Head yesterday which would never be forgotten by Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowlers. Travis Head made 102 in just 49 balls with a strike rate of 278 while the player who is the second name of Royal Challengers Bengaluru played yesterday with a strike rate of 210 which was good but the strike rate doesn’t matter when you didn’t make the runs.

However, the innings that Tarvis Head played is the dream innings of everyone. He is such a good player. When he was out then for sure the whole Royal Challengers Bengaluru had started feeling happy but it wasn’t much advantage to them because until that time 165 runs were already added to the score under 12 overs.

Nepal vs Qatar

Wow, what a moment! Dipendra Singh Airee from Nepal smashed six sixes in a single over against Qatar in the ACC Men's Premier Cup 2024. He showed some incredible talent and determination out there. It takes a lot of focus and skill to achieve such a feat. With his unbeaten 64 runs, he helped his team reach a total of 210. Nepal ended up winning the match by a comfortable margin of 32 runs.

Till now I think so that Nepal will win this tournament because, at this time, I have seen their better performance than all other teams. They can win this match and also they are leading in Group A while in Group B Oman is leading the group but Oman's play is just normal, and also in their group, there are too many small teams present.

By the way, the other group is also like this. Only the Nepal team is good from then all that is why I want to see Nepal as the winner and a player of Nepal hit 6 sixes in 6 balls. Let’s hope that their hard work will stay with them in the final and the whole tournament.  Smiley
110  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin's 4 year cycle only coincidence? (This could be actually good news.) on: April 15, 2024, 05:09:49 AM
This is interesting analysis! The 4-year cycle theory for Bitcoin's price is definitely a popular one, but I think it's smart to look at other perspectives too.  Just because something held true in the past doesn't mean it'll keep being accurate all the time. I agree that the early days of Bitcoin were pretty rampant and hard to predict, so maybe that activity doesn't perfectly line up with the 4-year cycle timeline we see now.  Plus there's all kinds of stuff like pandemics, hacks, politics that can crash prices even if the cycle theory is real and  could be both things play a role.  The cycles drive overall trends but big external events trigger unpredictable swings.  No one really knows for sure I guess.  We'll just have to wait and see if the cycles hold up over decades or if random chaos and headlines win out in the end.



Well, we need to realize that Bitcoin 4-year cycle of bear and bull markets is not driven by the news events. We try to link that because of certain events and fundamental good and bad news, the market experiences this phase and therefore we are not sure it if will be repeated again or not.

I would tell you that this Bitcoin 4 years cycle is because of the Halving event where the supply cuts in half and the demand keeps on increasing and this results in a parabolic bull market. This happened in the past and it will happen in the future too. So as long as there is halving, we will experience this 4 year's bitcoin cycle. It does not matter if there is pandemic in the world or lots of Geopolitical tensions, the bitcoin halving is independent of these factors.
111  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Can I Recover a Mobile Wallet on Desktop Using 12-Word Phrases on: April 15, 2024, 04:02:13 AM
I have little bitcoin in an exchange but assuming I'm considering moving the Bitcoin off an exchange using a mobile hot wallet like Sparrow or Blue Wallet and I've generated the 12-word recovery phrase and securely stored it. If let's say my mobile phone gets lost in a flood or destroyed in a fire but my laptop remains survives and I download the desktop version of Sparrow or Blue Wallet, will I be able to recover my wallet using the same 12 words?

This can also go the other way where it is the laptop that is wrecked but my mobile phone survives.

You can lose both your mobile phone and your laptop and still your bitcoins will remain safe with you provided you have the 12 word seed phrase with you. Secondly, i am assuming in this case that your mobile phone and your laptop are destroyed completely because if you lose your laptop, someone can get control over your wallet by accessing the hard disk (if the wallet file is not encrypted) and the same goes for the mobile wallet.

I'm also confused how someone active in crypto doesn't know about seed phrases.  That's like crypto basics! Wallets might change, but protecting that seed phrase is vital.  Its gotta be treated like treasure, with paper backups kept offline and all that.  I dunno, maybe we take some stuff for granted in this space that newcomers are still learning.

There is no age of learning and if anyone wanted to know anything we should not discourage him. Sometimes even the most experienced person has little knowledge of something. We all are in the learning phase and this phase never ends.

This model that worked in 2016/17 to generate revenue through ICO even before developing the project will not work in 2024 anymore. People have seen enough scams that no one is going to invest in even a running project, to get the investment for only the idea that will be materialized on people's investment is never going to be fulfilled and is already considered a scam even if the OP has no bad intentions.

From the last two days, we have experienced some major Geopolitical Tension as Iran invaded Israel and there is a fear whole world including the United States of America, Russia, China and other Middle Eastern/ Asian countries may be directly involved in this war if the situation does not norm quickly.

We have seen some big dumps in the world stock market and crypto market and the world's business may get affected by this situation. I would like to know what impact will it have on gambling ?

Do people gamble less when they see such tensions around the globe?

Will the gambling sites/bookies will have an impact on this situation?

Wow, what a moment! Dipendra Singh Airee from Nepal smashed six sixes in a single over against Qatar in the ACC Men's Premier Cup 2024. He showed some incredible talent and determination out there. It takes a lot of focus and skill to achieve such a feat. With his unbeaten 64 runs, he helped his team reach a total of 210. Nepal ended up winning the match by a comfortable margin of 32 runs.

Those sixes in an over were just amazing. Now, here in the previous part, we have seen the first three sixes but it’s time to see the next three sixes.  In the fourth ball, we have seen once again Helicopters which also go to offside by touching the bottom edge of the bat. At the fifth ball, the batsmen hit a pull shot which goes too high. The ball came lower the body and the batsmen bent to play pull without folding the arm, and the ball went to a wonderful six. The last six was too high which went some forward to the batsman's foot once again but this time the shot was some different.



Nepal's Airee makes history by smashing six sixes in an over

Yesterday Dipendra Singh Airee from Nepal hit six sixes in six balls but I don’t think so that it is such a piece of big news as it has been popular because the pitch length was too much small and as the batsmen of Nepal hitting sixes couldn't be counted as four in the other stadiums. Also, the bowler of Qatar gave too many slow balls which was around 50km that’s why I don’t think so it is such a good achievement for us but for them Nepalian Cricket, it is big news.
It was such a pride for them but not for us because the bowler and ground have too much importance which we don’t have seen in that stadium.

115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Women's Cricket Prediction & Discussion - T20 & ODI on: April 14, 2024, 02:15:14 AM
Today second match of this competition Sri Lanka women tour to South Africa women and this match has not completed yet and still ongoing at crease but one inning already came to end and Sri Lanka squad has finished this Inning and in their Inning, Sri Lanka women sqaud has successfully collected 229 scores which seem not good defeating target according to current situation of South Africa women sqaud. South Africa women squad needs 41 scores for victory off 57 deliveries which is so simple win and also just lost of 3 wickets. I give a winning credit (if they win this match) to Laura Wolvaardt one starter batter because she is still playing her inning and just 5 scores behind for achieving century. Other batter Marizanne Kapp is also displaying very significant strength in batting and both performance is amazing and strong batting partnership. I feel that South Africa women will emerge victory in this match and in previous match, no result was announced.

Actually, South African women were playing well from the start but their run rate was low not only were, they were managing also required run rate was just 4 but they were also making singles or doubles which did not seem to us that they could win this match because it is the fact that we judge the batting by seeing boundaries not with the run rate and required run rate.

I think if in that situation, when they were not making runs, if Sri Lankan bowlers started to take wickets then I think that something there can be a chance for Sri Lankan women to win this match but south African team proved too good for them and they (S.A) win the match  by 7 wickets.

Laura Wolvaardt continues prolific form as South Africa ease to seven-wicket win



At the start of the match, I thought that the South African women's team would lose the match and Sri Lanka would win it but it did not happen and I was also wrong and this proved as we got to the stadium of Kimberley.

Just some more effort from the Sri Lankan women's team was needed but they could not do that which caused the loss of the series for Sri Lanka and now they can only draw the series which will also not be easy for them for sure. It will happen if, in the next match, the team of Sri Lanka will play very good and amazing cricket then they will win the match and the ODI series will be drawn but for sure it cannot happen especially when the opponent is a strong South African women's team. So, even if anyone is betting on the match, they should be going for the South African win.
116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: April 13, 2024, 05:27:46 PM
South Africa women's team did not perform well in T20 series against Sri Lanka women's team. The Sri Lankan team was not strong enough but won the T20 series. South Africa women's team lost 2-1. So I am not expecting a very good performance from South Africa women team in ODI format. The match will undoubtedly be competitive. Because Sri Lanka women team players are very confident now. Sri Lanka Women's team wants to win the ODI series as well as the T20 series.

This time, we are not seeing luck for South African women because already Sri Lanka gives too high target (229 runs) but South African women can chase it if they play in a good way and as we see they are not doing it right. They already lost three wickets when they reach the 100 runs mark.

Also, remember if Sri Lanka wins this match, then the chances of South Africa to win this series become slim, the only one option remains which is to draw the series. But still, they can chase this target if they are playing without losing any more wickets. At this time, their run rate is 2.87 while the required is 5 runs or something similar to it. I think the required run rate is under their control, all they need is partnerships.

Rajasthan Royals won the match against Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and with Gujrat Titans which were lost by Rajasthan Royals. The first two teams were Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals, and after this Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru team’s downfall was started in this IPL and then got a chance to play against Gujrat Titans which is a good team but they lost the match. Let’s see what will happen in today’s match as once a team has lost the winning streak, their confidence tends to shake too.

A team cannot win all the matches in the series especially when you have to play 20+ matches in a series. There are few matches in which every team will lose and Rajasthan Royals had a bad day when they lost to Gujrat Titans. However, this loss should not be interpreted that now the downfall of that team will start or they will collapse in further matches.

Nothing of this sort happens in their match against Punjab Kings and they are comfortably placed in this match. Keshav Maharaja and Avesh Khan have taken two wickets each, along with good spells from all the bowlers from Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings are struggling badly at 122/7. I think that Punjab Kings will lose this match and once again RR will start their winning streak. At no point did the Punjab Kings look comfortable in this match as they had been losing wickets at regular intervals.
118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In what currency other than the USD you know the price of Bitcoin by heart? on: April 13, 2024, 02:35:06 PM
So if obviously everyone is still even around here pricing everything in USD, at least in private, do you know the price of one BTC in any other currency than the USD and your own?
And when I say you know, I mean by heart, not making the exchange math in your mind, one BTC is 70k , 1 Euro is 1.1 USD so then, or something like this!

Just one tiny experiment, wonder if the outcome is any different than what I imagine!

It is not that we calculate bitcoin valuation in USD but actually, it is human nature that they need to compare the value in terms of a stable currency and at the moment USD or USDT is the stable currency and hence we calculate bitcoin in terms of USDT.

Many people won't even know exactly how much is the price of bitcoin in terms of their local currency but they will only remember it in terms of the dollars. US dollar has been the world's global currency for many decades and it is not easy for anyone to bypass this currency and calculate in terms of other currencies. Times are changing quickly but for now, Dollar is still the industry standard and monetary valuation is still done in terms of dollars.

USA is in full control of the series, they have won 3 of the 4 T201 played so far and it doesn't matter who will last T20I as USA has already won the series. Canada will try to win last game to avoid whitewash.

I am very excited to see the United States of America team celebrate after winning a series in their cricket history. It will be the biggest achievement for the United States of America because you know after such a long time, they won any series. Even winning a match for them was a dream and here they have won a full series.  Wink

Almost after two years, they are ready to win the matches and as they win the match, this series will never be forgotten by these players because from here, they have risen for the first time in cricket. After losing to too many small teams, they won the series. It is not a joke for them. The team of United States of America is a team that has faced many difficulties in winning matches/series in the past.

Lucknow's top order could not bat well today. Apart from KL Rahul and Ayush Badoni, none of the batsmen in the squad can bat well. But the way LSG started their innings, I didn't think the team would be able to deliver the target of 168 runs. LSG managed to collect 73 runs in the last pair of wickets.

KL Rahul scored 39 off 22 balls, and youngster Ayush Badoni remained unbeaten on 55 off 35 balls. The target is not too big, but LSG still has a chance to win if the bowlers can bowl well. However, right now I think Delhi will win today's match.

I would call this a batting collapse by the Lucknow Super Giants team. The openers did start well but none of those two batsmen can continue long enough. After that no batsmen were able to stay at the wicket and at one point in time there was 94 score with 7 wickets down. LSK could have been ended up with a lot worse score but thanks to Ayush Badoni and Arshad Khan who took the match to 167 runs, something at which Lucknow Super Giants can bowl at.

But things still not looking good for LSK because Delhi Capitals are going after this target in a hurry and scoring at almost 10 runs an over. They now need 106 runs in only 84 balls and this should be an easy target with 9 wickets still in hand.

Seems like out of all the odds, Delhi Capitals are very close to winning this match. They need less than 30 runs in the last 5 overs, meaning the required average is less than a ball. The in-form Rishabh Pant and Jake Fraser-McGurk are taking this game away from the Lucknow Super Giants.

Jake Fraser-McGurk just got out making 55 runs but Delhi Capitals still have seven wickets in hand and no force can stop them from getting two important points from this match. Lucknow Super Giants may get a huge set back as they would never have thought to lose from the most weakest team of this year's IPL. This result will make the top 4 positions more open for the teams who are struggling to move up the table.
