1001  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can De-Fi Replace ETH ? on: March 14, 2021, 11:55:10 PM
ETH will always be the better solution, but what DeFi did is to change its market value to a whole new level. Another thing I think is it is better not to ignore the fact that DeFi is not meant to be a cryptocurrency. DeFi can be used as a store of value or speculative investment, but not cryptocurrency.
The hype will be over pretty fast and we will see how the decentralized finance market will hold up when we are in a bear market. The bull market helped the hype grow to a point but we will see the true nature during the bear market and what all tokens will die off can be witnessed at that time.
I still considering these hype as pump and dump markets and DeFi is not a store of value or even a speculative market.

Buying this expensive NFT is extremely risky at all. If someone can afford this expensive price, the price is just very small for them, they can afford to lose it at all. They are willing to lose at all.
Recently about NFT trends, tweets also on Twitter can be now bought and sold. I am amazed by these NFT trends now.
It all about the rich investing their free money and nothing else, you might see these crazy big deals taking place to create the hype and eventually it will die out. Who in the right sense will be investing huge amounts for these digital shit. This shit just shows why billions are invested in bitcoin when the price is multiple times higher than its old all time high valuation  Cheesy.

Why do people care who Satoshi Nakamoto is/was? It's like wondering the name of the person that created the wheel. Sure, I suppose I would be curious about the name of the inventor of the wheel, if nothing else to raise a beer to them from time to time, but ultimately the wheel is the important part of the story.
There is no concrete date on when a wheel is created and it may be 4000 years ago and it is hard to determine who invented the wheel but bitcoin is a decade old and it is not a good comparison. Even if you wanted to know the inventor of wheel it is an impossible task but that is not the situation with Satoshi as he can always pop up right now and prove that he invented bitcoin by signing a signature digitally from one of his earlier wallets.
1004  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is for Holders! on: March 14, 2021, 10:59:06 PM
Your very correct bitcoin is for holders and not for weak hands for me have learnt a good lesson from the recent move of the market. Most times holding isn't that easy because there might be a new Alth and then suddenly price will eventually starts dumpling and this is the point many start selling off, have really learnt to be a bag holder not just a day trader. Holders are the ones making the cool cash.
Anyone who sells their portfolio does that because they were satisfied with the profit they are looking for and they did not foresee the price of bitcoin moving further higher than they sold. There is no weak hands in the market, there are fools who loans the money and purchase it and if someone is doing that then the market is not fit for that kind of investment as anything can happen. Other than that there is no infinite holders every single investors is holding them for the profit.

If they ban the trading of Bitcoin, then the activity will move underground and become more risky for everyone. People will start using decentralized P2P platforms such as Bisq which are extremely difficult to track. Obviously the government can nab a few by posing as traders, but out of the millions of cryptocurrency users in India, how many are they going to arrest? If they allow the exchanges to operate, at least they will make KYC mandatory and the authorities will be able to track the transactions.
From what i understand there are still people in Bangladesh actively trading in bitcoin and the government has pushed the market underground as bitcoin is banned for a long time as i remember checking the banned country list a few years ago and i do not think they changed that and obviously there are people from Bangladesh in this forum and they might be active in P2P based platforms. I am also curious to know how they are dealing with the situation.

West Indies bowlers are always lethal at home.
Some of the West Indies bowlers are fairly new to me and they were able to pick some wickets and even restricted the run flow but Sri Lanka was able to put a good partnership when it mattered and it would have been a boring match but now the match is in the closing stages and if Sri Lanka can pick wickets then they can put pressure back to West Indies even though they just need 9 runs to win from 12 balls.

If Malinga was in the team then we can expect an upset even in this situation but Pollard is in form and still in the crease and the captaincy suits him as he is leading from the front and i think he is performing much better as a captain.
1007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Internet connectivity - Gambling wins/losses on: March 14, 2021, 08:16:03 PM
Most of the time I gamble using the mobile device. The connectivity speed varies between locations and I've encountered with the rolls taking more time as well as the the rollers moving within the bar with sudden visibility. When I check the provably fair functioning, it does right. But, my mind has a thinking our loss is due to the internet connection.
If you are placing a bet on a reputed casino then it is a provably fair system and there is no way the internet connection will have anything to do with the outcome of your bet. You might find a lag when you roll but the outcome of your seed is predetermined and hence nothing to worry with your slow connection Wink. I never bet on casino with my mobile as i do not get the experience i am looking for and my connection is pretty fast to see any lag on the sites i am playing unless there is a server issue.
1008  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How much will ETH be worth ten years from now? on: March 14, 2021, 07:05:44 PM
Indeed, transaction fees are making the community chaotic and the solution that is getting a lot of support is like you said, an ethereum 2.0 upgrade, this determines a lot in terms of value and the next path ethereum can take in the future, if the solution provided resolves the anxiety of the community, the price of ethereum has limitless potential. Conversely, the delay in settling, it would create more opponents for ethereum, which may not be an issue right now but 10 years from now, they will take away a portion of ethereum's value and convert it to their value
We are hearing about the ETH 2.0 upgrade for a very long time and despite all the promises and hype the investors are not seeing any changes in the transaction charges yet and all the projects under their platform are undergoing a lot of stress because of the high transaction fees and projects like BSC owned by Binance is already luring the developers to migrate to their chain and it will affect the price of ETH and there is no clarity regarding when the transaction charges will be back to normal.

RCB used to be one of my favorite teams in the IPL, but their performance during the last edition of the tournament (IPL 2020) was less than satisfactory.
When we talk about Virat Kohli and how he should be moved from his captaincy he is leading the team from the front against England and India is in a strong position to win the match Cheesy. Regarding his demeanour in the ground he is an aggressive player and as long as India is winning no one will question him.

India just need 20 runs to win from 28 balls.
1010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: March 14, 2021, 03:58:40 PM
Sri Lanka started well in the match and they had a 68 run first wicket partnership but they failed to put any partnership after that and now struggling with 148 runs and they lost 5 wickets and West Indies can win the match easily from a situation like this as they have the home advantage and Sri Lanka is not having any high quality bowlers that would put them in danger if it is a low scoring game.

Edit

Lost another wicket.

One of the reason teams never force follow on to opposition team nowadays. It could backfire anytime, as much as i admire brave effort of Afghan team but they got bit lucky here. 50-80 more runs and zim could have been walked out with the draw and winning the series (only 15ish overs were left to the stumps). It was good game overall and Zimbabwe can also take few positive from this game.
Zimbabwe played well in the second innings and i was expecting Rashid Khan to rip them away in the second innings as they are playing in the UAE and the pitch to help the spinners but Sean Williams and Donald Tiripano delayed things as best as they can but the win was inevitable even if they scored 50 runs more, we could have seen a T20 kind of striking from the Afghan players Cheesy .

If Zimbabwe had managed to score another 30-35 runs, then it would have got really interesting. Because the Afghan batsmen really struggled during the last innings. A few more runs by the Zimbabwean tail enders could have made the difference. Anyway, all credit to Afghanistan for registering another test win.
May be but i do not think 35 runs could have made any difference, i did not watch the match no the highlights, i was just following the scoreboard as i placed a bet on Afghanistan to win when i saw Rashid Khan is back in the team .
1012  Economy / Speculation / Re: First Batch of $1,400 Stimulus Checks Hit Bank Accounts Starting Today on: March 14, 2021, 02:00:38 PM
I feel Bitcoin will top $80,000 by the end of March (on its way to $100,000 in the next couple of months).
Not sure it will reach $80,000 by the end of this month but we will see those valuation if the market is moving like this and anyone who were expecting a correction should be disappointed because it is showing no signs of slowing down.
 

It's one of the main reason for insane prices rises in Bitcoin and standing at ATH of $61k today on CMC.The other reason being huge investment by the big institutions like MicroStrategy,Tesla investment which have push the prices further.
Not sure about people investing in cryptocurrency when they receive a check by the government but institutional investors are the reason for these huge rally without a doubt.

Finally there is some good news about the PSL and the tournament will resume sometime in June this year. COVID-19-hit Pakistan Super League rescheduled to June 2021, confirms PCB[/url]. Although its never good to strop and resume the tournaments as all the momentum is lost, but there is no choice.
Hopefully they could resume and we will not see the same thing happening again. If they would have taken things a bit seriously and punish the players for breaching the protocol these situations should have been avoided Grin.


That was a poor performance by India which I was not expecting. Kohli's poor form continues scoring a duck. I think he needs to give up being the captain so that he can concentrate on his batting. We have seen in the past with other players that it can help as it takes the pressure off and he can then just worry about getting back into form.
Do you think that Virat Kohli will give up his captaincy, if so he should give up his IPL captaincy from RCB as he failed to win the tournament till now  Cheesy. Rohit Sharma is the next in line if he gives up his captaincy but i do not think his big ego will allow that .
1014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 14, 2021, 08:59:54 AM
The partnership between Sean Williams and Donald Tiripano has added 124 runs till now, and the Afghanistan bowlers are looking clueless (even the much renowned Rashid Khan). If Zimbabwe could add another 100 runs, then once again the match will become competitive. Afghanistan is well known for their batting collapses and I don't expect anything different this time. Also, only 90 overs are remaining.. so there is a chance for a draw as well.
Sean Williams and Donald Tiripano played an exceptional innings and Donald Tiripano missed out his century by just 5 runs and it was unfortunate as he could have reached that milestone and now they are all out for 365 runs and have a lead of just 107 runs which i think Afghanistan can score easily and there is plenty of time left for them to reach that score.
1015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: March 14, 2021, 07:22:01 AM
Well, that was the main fight disappointment. Nobody's fault really, but it was a chance for Edwards to finally move up to the big leagues and now they will have to run this fight back.
Leon Edwards is one fight away from a title fight as he is on an undefeated streak and since he was unfortunate that he was not able to fight last year due to pandemic and he was forced to fight against Khamzat Chimaev on his return after a long lay off and because that fight is off he was facing Belal Muhammad and i was expecting Edwards to win and challenge the champion but it is unfortunate to see yet anther no contest.

And yet again we have an NC for an illegal knee. So, based on the pattern on illegal knees and fight results, it seems that intention is the big factor as for instance they declared that Yan had intentionally kneed Sterling, and in the case of Anders last night and let's say, Alvarez and Poirier, both times the knees were thrown unintentionally. That seems to be hard to figure out tbh.
The main problem is different jurisdiction have different rules regarding the ground opponent, unless everyone follows an unified rule we will see these type of mishaps.

 
1016  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Invested in alt in 2017 ..and now need help to dont do same mistake on: March 14, 2021, 06:04:37 AM
The established alts, such as ETH and ADA made the recovery, but the smaller alts and tokens never recovered from the slump in 2018. Most of them are now dead or dormant.
Some of the alts that showed potential never recovered and there is no hope whether we will have any decent profit as some of projects stopped developing when the market went down.

@OP It is not the best time to invest as all the markets are rallying at an all time high valuation, like everyone mentioned we saw rally recently in BNB and ETH might rally even though the transaction charges are high.
1017  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 13, 2021, 05:39:22 PM
Finally zimbabwe is now leading by 8 runs and we have one day left in the match. With only 3 wickets in hand,  there is a decent chance that Afghanistan should win this match. This will be a good achievement by the Afghanistan team. I was really impressed by their batting in the first innings of 545 runs with only 4 wickets.
How long Zimbabwe can play with three wickets left and the 8th wicket partnership is giving some headache to the Afghanistan bowlers but with a day left you need to play some outstanding cricket to draw the match which is highly unlikely and the surprising fact is that i thought the match would be over today but Zimbabwe was able to delay proceedings.

they need something to discuss about this fight to sell this to the public. so i guess, dana white betting 1M dollars on Ben will create some interest from boxing fans. because we know, this match will not be a hit in the boxing community if there is no controversial issues or topics to talk about.
i bet, they are crossing their fingers not to cancel this bout for some financial reasons.
Dana White is not promoting the fight a Ben Askren already retired and Dana White has nothing to do with the event as it is an exhibition bout. Jake Paul usually attracts huge crowds and that is the reason he picked Ben Askren because he also promotes the fight well and we can see the battle in social media and these are done to create interest.

What is happening with captain, he is really struggling to get his batting rhythm for a very long time. Sad
Virat Kohli was in top form for a long time and it is not that rare to see some batsman struggle once in a while and he is collecting some ducks in this series against England. I was expecting India to play better but England is dominating and they have a really strong team and by looking at the score of 106 for the loss of 6 wickets in 18 overs it is hard to believe we will see any recovery in this match. After a disappointing Test series England is back with the T20 series Grin.
1020  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 12, 2021, 06:09:51 AM
Zimbabwe is a far better team than Afghanistan. The problem with the Afgan team is that they are highly inconsistent, I do not think it will be a problem for Zimbabwe to reach 345 runs. They have started well and they will easily win this test too.
In the last match Afghanistan was not playing with their full strength team and without Rashid Khan they are just a shell of their strength and in this match he is playing and it will be a different result altogether and the problem is these players focus on franchise cricket.

If their main players focus on the national team then they could defeat this Zimbabwe team with ease.
