Months back the price of bitcoin was around $17k. By the time everyone feared the market would move down to $10k and what happened now. The price have crossed $28k, people who bought earlier have made profits whereas the one who thought of buying low or feared of the market recovery missed the opportunity and even now haven't invested. People create a mentality to get adopted to the situation and move on. Same happens if there takes place massive bitcoin crash. At the beginning it'll be hard to accept, slowly people gets used to it and find alternate ways to move on.

We should also know this isn't a market that is similar to the monetary system where the government have the control and use different techniques to print currency of their own. With bitcoin the market is predicted out of the demand to supply which won't let it to crash to the deep.

Maybe with the money you've got for education it is possible to buy a small portion of the Bitcoin. Through education you'll be able to make yourself better with acquiring knowledge about bitcoin and the same could help you have even more number of bitcoin. Just because you've done your school education you were able to know about bitcoin, if not things would've been in the opposite way.

Last ODI India win convincingly and now Aussie takes the revenge and beat Indian team by a big margin. This now leads to the final match of the series being the series decider and it will be very interesting indeed.
Australia managed to chase the target within just 11 overs, while Indian bowling side was unable to take even a single wicket. It was a tough day for the Indian team, but Aussie played exceptionally well in the second ODI. Unfortunately, this isn't for the first time the Indian team has suffered a 10 wicket loss. Following this leveling it'll be series decider and let's hope that Indian team will bounce back in the third match.
Regardless of the game, the plight of gamblers is well known. The Indian team had to go back to the Australian bowlers for 117 runs. Many people related to cricket are shocked by such disaster. ODI World Cup will start this year, such a score in the ODI match will naturally give a negative impression to the Indian team. India team has collected maximum 31 runs from Virat Kohli's bat. In today's match, five Indian batsmen scored less than 5 runs, four of them returned with 0.

This was just an absolute revenge story from Australia. They basically said that it doesn't matter where they are playing. If there is anything India can do Australia can do that better. The Indian batting lineup was absolutely wrecked by the Australian fast bowlers. The target was 118. That is honestly not enough for even a t20 match. Let alone one day international. And of course, Australia was going to cruise through to victory.

But Australia did that with 10 wickets in hand. That was really disrespectful. Anyway, the last ODI is going to be the decider and I am sure that is going to be an exciting one.
That is more than a revenge. The team proved they're better than India with the 10 wickets win. With the win Australia have recorded its third fastest chase in ODI, in terms of overs. After the win Mitchell Marsh had mentioned it was bit of fun playing the match. This seems like he enjoyed scoring against the Indian bowling. The series have got levelled and the third match gains more attention.

I believe no one in the BCCI setup or franchises for that matter expects the same success as Men's IPL.

The poor state of the Women's NBA is a fair argument but I'd say WPL won't follow WNBA's route. Only because the recent media rights deal of WPL suggests that it won't become a subsidiary of Men's IPL and can sustain itself

My argument is that even if women's IPL is somewhat popular, it is never going to be as popular as men's IPL. It is never even going to be a very good business, to be honest. The best thing that might come out of this is the players that will represent Indian women's cricket. The profit is never going to be enough for most of the big businessmen. Of course, it is going to be enough for the broke people who always try to play it safe. But I think it is too early to say. Probably they will make enough profit eventually.
Just think of IPL, at the first season. It takes time and it is a wrong calculation to compare men's IPL with WPL in terms of revenue. Even before the start of WPL there is not much interested on it. Now the audience and viewership have increased than calculated. When the franchise number increases automatically it'll gain even more popularity. Maybe WPL isn't that profitable as IPL, but it is sure to generate profit, no doubt in it.

Sri Lanka is still trailing by 303 runs after the end of the third day. First, I got a little surprised to see that Sri Lanka was only able to score around 100 after a whole day. But then I realized they are batting the second innings, the follow-on.
At first, I got a little excited to see that they did not lose any wickets after the 26/2 at the end of the last day. But when I saw it is a follow-on, all my excitement ended in smoke along with my hopes of Sri Lanka winning. From this position, if Sri Lanka can even draw the test match, which is highly unlikely, that is even going to feel like a win for Sri Lanka.
Sirlanka after follow on is still having difficulty scoring runs , Newzealand managed to collect good runs in their innings and even trying hard I don't see Sirlanka completing this trail.
They'll loose wickets before 200 runs.

It will be hard for Sri Lanka to actually get control of the match back. It will be really hard for them. The main priority for Sri Lanka is going to somehow survive. But I don't know if that is going to work out well for them. The opener Fernando tried it, did not work out for him. But the players who are in the middle right now seem to be adapting to the same approach.

I don't think they have any other option other than playing safe and slow. If they can somehow survive till the second session of the last day, probably Sri Lanka will somehow be able to draw the match. And let's be honest here, there is no chance Sri Lanka is going to win this match. The only way they are going to not lose this match is somehow to go for the draw. But if Sri Lanka loses quick wickets at the start of the next day, this conversation is going to be a "moo point".
Already the match result is cent percent confirmed. How slow the team can stand for another two days with 8 wickets left. Karunaratne once after his 50 lost the wicket and Mendis is at 50* runs. If this pair have stood strong maybe good partnership might've come for Sri Lanka.

Possibly by tomorrow's second session the match will come to an end. Kiwis dominated the series with style, because the way New Zealand won the first match is something unbelievable and what it have done in this match is remarkable.

Pakistan Super League - Season 8 Final won by Lahore Qalandars by 1 run

Lahore Qalandars - 200/6(20)

Abdullah Shafique - 65(40)
Shaheen Afridi - 44(15)
Fakhar Zaman - 39(34)

Usama Mir - 3/24(3)
Khushdil Shah - 1/11(2)
Ihsanullah - 1/37(3)

Multan Sultans - 199/8(20)

Rilee Roussouw - 52(32)
Mohammad Rizwan - 34(23)
Khushdil Shah - 25(12)

Shaheen Afridi - 4/51(4)
Rashid Khan - 2/26(4)
David Wiese - 1/31(4)

Source: Google

According to me the win happened through Shaheen Afridi who managed to score 44 runs from 15 balls. This score helped reach 200 and the same looks to be a big target. Multan Sultans went close and they were unlucky. Anyhow the final match was really a final.

Sri Lanka lost the first Test even though a good sore 355 & 302 and in the second Test 2 early wickets indicate defeat as the opposition New Zealand's score is huge. The Sri Lankan team is not able to do much good at the home ground of New Zealand. Nothing can stand in the way of a brilliant batting performance by the New Zealand batsmen. Williamson scored 215 and Henry Nicholls remained unbeaten on 200 in the second Test.
The first match was completely in favour of Sri Lanka and the match turned all of the sudden. The credit goes to Williamson who led the team at the critical situation scoring the required runs. It is kind of coincidence that New Zealand wins whenever Williamson perform good. Even in today's match he have scored 215 runs and Nicholls at 200* for which I believe this to be the winning match for New Zealand. Sri Lanka bowlers weren't able to break partnership easily. Just 4 wickets lost and New Zealand have declared the innings at 580 runs.

Okay, i might be a bit biased when it comes to Shakib but I seriously don't understand how come Towhid Hridoy got the man of the match award.

Shakib scored 93 runs with the ST of 104-ish and picked up 1 wicket, on the other hand, Towhid Hridoy scored 92 runs with an SR of 108. Hardly a big difference in SR IMO.

And considering Shakib all round role in this win, i believe he was the suitable candidate unless they wanted to hand out an award to the debutant.
Just because Hridoy is debutant in ODI for Bangladesh the man of the match is being awarded to him. He have got good track record in BPL and with this he have made the record of debutant to score the highest run. Earlier it was during the year 2011, Nasir Hossain scored 63 runs. Shakib Al Hasan being an experienced player, he understands well and he's the one who gave suggestions and advice to score in the deep. After the match, Hridoy mentioned playing along with Shakib Al Hasan is really enjoyable and he gives good advice and encouraged to perform well.

Finally PSL is concluding tonight after one month of thrill and excitement.  
Shaheen Shah Afridi has become more a batsmen then bowler in last part of PSL. He scored 44 runs that included 5 sixes and took just 15 balls for that.
In reply, Multan Sultans are playing aggressively. 77 in 7 overs and if they keep moving like this then surely they will lift the trophy. Rilee Rossouw is punishing Lahore Qalandar bowlers.  

It looks like Multan Sultans will win the match. Rossouw and Rizwan were in good form and playing in a much responsible manner. They're just trying to maintain the required runrate. In 10 overs time Multan Sultans have scored 101/1 which makes it easy for the upcoming players. Shaheen Afridi is very expensive that his two overs concede 34 runs.

Mumbai Indians vs UP Warriorz

We'll played by UP Warriorz, particularly the bowling is really good. Mumbai Indians which is predicted to score 170+ runs wasn't able to reach. UP Warriorz bowling unit did an awesome work taking wickets at regular intervals. Sophie Ecclestone bowled well and took the early wickets which helped the team restrict the scoring. Mumbai Indians tried hard with their bowling, but UP Warriorz batting line-up understood the situation and played accordingly though wickets kept on falling from over to over. First loss for Mumbai Indians in this season of WPL.

Royal Challengers vs Gujarat Giants

Completely unexpected performance from Royal Challengers Women team. Only disappointment Sophie Devine missed her century. 99 runs from 36 balls. Even with the rest of the match winning the last moment changes could happen in the points table. Royal Challengers have won the last two matches after a series of loss at the opening matches. Today's win is much comfortable with 27 balls left and 8 wickets in hand reached the score of 189 runs.

In today's match both the underdog have won. All who have placed bets on the underdogs could've got good profit.
1031  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: While Everyone was Talking about El Salvador! We forgot about Guatemala on: March 17, 2023, 11:49:37 PM
Even in El Salvador the adoption isn't forced. People were given choice of their own to use bitcoin. Based on different statistics it is known that around 25% to 35% is using bitcoin. We don't know what exactly is the reality in El Salvador.

Guatemala might be correcting themselves with things planned better than El Salvador. Maybe initially they're trying to educate people and further implement the adoption of bitcoin which didn't happen in El Salvador.

El Salvador fastened the process and once after the implementation it started educating the people about the usage and how good this to the economy.

Oppositions will be part of governance and we were able to see it in El Salvador, because bitcoin adoption is just a small part. Apart from this he had did lot of reforms that have made El Salvador high in different things.

Devon Conway (78) unfortunately couldn't keep up with leading the batting effort as de Silve managed to take his wickets. After winning the toss SL choose to bowl first today, and they've already managed two crucial wickets. I must say, Sri Lanka has been putting on quite a good performance so far. The last match was impressive as well, so I'm hoping for an equally exciting game this time around. Sri Lankan bowler's really need to maintain consistency in their bowling, just as they did in the first test, in order to keep up their success.
This is bad news for the Kiwis. I was expecting him to stay till the end of today. Although he gave a good start I am not sure whether Kiwis team would be able to utilize this advantage.

Srilankan bowlers are not allowing the Kiwi batters to form a partnership. This is crucial as it will help Srilanka in the later part of the game today. I any case NZ would be looking for 300+ runs on day 1.
On the day 1, New Zealand wasn't able to reach 300+ runs. The team was at home and the  same had helped them perform good. By the 2nd day Williamson have reached his century. The bowlers were struggling to take wickets. Anyhow the score could go high above 500 runs if New Zealand continue the ongoing kind of batting. The match isn't going to be a win for Sri Lanka at any situation.

Congratulations on the big win. Everyone wants to be winners, but that doesn't happen all the time. Today it looked to be a lucky day for you. You've understood and stopped at the right point, if not in the upcoming bets you might've lost. We don't know what would be the outcome in the next bets, which means you're not in a situation to give assurance on win. So, it is good that you won and that doesn't mean you an expert to be followed.

Maybe you can make some series wins and post it with the statistics of your entire gambling activities. This could let people know your wins and losses which is a must to decide whether to follow your bets or not.

I am glad that the deserving team reached the final of this season's Pakistan Super League. There was a wobble towards the end, but then Shaheen Shah Afridi and David Wiese managed to steady the ship. Now the big match will be played tomorrow at 7:30 pm Indian time, between Lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultans. It is going to be Fakhar Zaman/Rashid Khan vs Mohammad Rizwan/Ihsanullah/Abbas Afridi. BTW, I know that a lot of fans will be heartbroken because Babar Azam will not be playing in the finals.


Both the teams are equally strong. This makes the match very interesting. As stated specific players have gained importance and I believe Pollard will play a big role. In many important matches he had changed the scenario completely. For Lahore Qalandars I expect Raza to do some fortune at the last order. As said at the beginning @Sithara007, the deserving teams have reached the finals. The very first match was played between the two and it was interesting till the last ball as Lahore Qalandars won the match by 1 run. Now the final gonna be played by the two and this too seems to be very close match.

Mumbai Indians have solidified their position on top of the points table, after Gujarat Giants Women won the match against Delhi Capitals Women yesterday. DC Women doesn't have much of a chance to overtake MI now. DC dropped one of their best performing players (Tara Norris) and that was one of the reasons why they lost out yesterday. Meg Lanning as the captain was also disappointing. The only thing that I didn't liked about GG yesterday was the slow paced batting from Harleen Deol. She crawled her way to 31 from 34 balls, wasting a lot of deliveries. 
Tara Norris not into the squad can be a reason, but with the good list of players it could've been easy winning for Delhi Capitals. Right from the beginning Delhi Capitals lost wickets, but the scoring continued with the required run rate. By the 14th over Delhi Capitals have reached 100 runs, but they had only 2 wickets left. Unwanted runout of Capsey is a big reason for the loss. Apart, the expected players like Shafali, Rodrigues didn't perform good.

The 13th Match of Womens Premier League has started. In this game, UP Warriorz vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Women, these two teams have come to the field to play. Royal Challengers Bangalore Women have won the toss and decided to bowl. However, UP Warriorz could not score many runs by batting first.  It seems that UP Warriorz are under a lot of pressure in batting. Royal Challengers Bangalore team is starting to bowl well.

LOL... feeling so happy for Royal Challengers Bangalore Women. Finally they won their first match in Women's Premier League. The captain (Smriti Mandhana) would be so happy, although she got out for a duck. Although Kanika Ahuja was selected as the MoM, IMO that award should have gone to Ellyse Perry. She was the one who kept the UP Warriorz Women in check with 4 extremely tight overs, picking up 3 important wickets (including those of Grace Harris and Deepti Sharma) in the process. RCB's next match is against the Gujarat Giants. They have two matches remaining including that one.  
The moment Royal Challengers Bangalore Women won it was almost the tournament is going to over. They only have two games left. Even if they manage to win two games consecutively, they won't be able to stay there in this tournament. When I see this team, I remember the Royal Challengers Bangalore team of IPL. A big similarity between these two teams seems to be the loss in most matches.
Anyhow they've made a win. Tomorrow the team is playing again Gujarat Giants and lets see whether anything happens in favour of Royal Challengers Women team as Virat Kohli have motivated the girls to go on the win may be delayed.

"I've been playing IPL for 15 years. And I haven't won it yet. But that doesn't stop me from being excited every year.
And the fact that we haven't won the IPL, but I still feel that we have the best fans in the world" - Virat Kohli
1037  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why people are always interested in altcoins on: March 16, 2023, 11:48:12 PM
despite all of the arguments im gonna say it that the main reason many are interested in altcoin because it could quite literally make you rich overnight, what else is there reason more valid than this, just with the prospect of investing short term you could already flip your money and gain thousand percents returns even with small capital which isn't quite possible enough with the other alternatives.
It can make you rich overnight as well as go homeless in the same night. With altcoin investment the ROI is quite high than bitcoin at times. This doesn't work all the time as well as it works with specific altcoins. Here we need to be lucky or esle we should have the mind to keep on adding more and more different altcoins to our portfolio.

Always people want to have a diversified portfolio than holding bitcoin. Same as bitcoin, the top altcoins on the market can be trusted, but things like FTX could happen which is the riskier part.

Peshawer Zalmi are about to win this 2nd playsoff match against Islamabad because Islamabad need 16 runs on two balls which is impossible for Islamabad to chase. What a comeback by Peshawer bowling lineup they crush the strong entire batting lineup of Islamabad, at starting 10 over Islamabad almost score around 100 while just lose one so at that time I taught the Peshawer are about to lose but later they bowling show his potential and finally they win the playsoff and soon will face Lahore Qalanders in third playsoff of this season

Congratulations to Peshawar Zalmi for their impressive win against Islamabad United in the second playoff match. They seem to have done an incredible job with their bowling line up and showed great determination to bounce back from a tough start in the first 10 overs. It is always interesting to see a team come back and win against the odds and Peshawar Zalmi certainly did that in this match. His win will bring immense joy and happiness to his fans and supporters.
It is also great to hear that they will now face Lahore Qalandars in the third playoff of the season. It promises to be an exciting match and I am sure the fans of both the teams will be eagerly waiting for it.
That's really an impressive bowling lineup that helped Peshawar Zalmi win the match. In the last five overs Islamabad United were able to score just 39 runs. The match that looked to be an easy win at some point turned in favour of Peshawar Zalmi. The middle order disappointed the Islamabad United fans. Now the playoff match between Peshawar Zalmi and Lahore Qalandars is really interesting because the team placed at the first position on points table and the fourth position fights to reach the finals.

There is nothing to fear in doing the trade. Binance is a trusted service provider and it have the much easier interface. In particular one can prefer to do the trade and recieve the funds in the respective bank account through the P2P trading feature. For users who doesn't have a verified binance account can look for alternates like our forum currency exchange section where you need to find a person and make the trade with the help of an escrow.

LOL.. absolute mayhem at Kirtipur. United Arab Emirates collected 89 runs from the last 5 overs, to finish at 310/6. Asif Khan (former first class player from Pakistan who has represented Lahore Lions in the Champions League) smashed 101 runs from just 42 balls. The inexperienced Nepal bowlers were smashed all around the park by Asif and Vriitya Aravind. And the innings ended in anti-climax, with Sompal Kami picking up the wicket of Vriitya Aravind in the last ball. He missed the century by just 6 runs. Nepal may lose this match and end up in the 4th place within the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. 

Almost all players in UAE squad are from Pakistan and they have played first class cricket in Pakistan. They have the edge with them. Asif Khan hundred will be forth fastest Hundred in ODI and that century has placed UAE right on the top. Nepal need to bat well, 310 is difficult but not impossible to chase. They need to keep this in mind that winning this game will bright there chances of playing world cup.
Nepal at the critical situation. Completely unexpected performance from the last order player. From the beginning there is good contribution from the players. The fastest century from the Pakistani born UAE national team player Asif Khan is phenomenal. In the last 6 overs UAE have scored 102 runs which has turned the match completely. The same UAE team in its previous encounter with Nepal scored just 71 runs while chasing the target of 248 runs. It is a something a must win match for Nepal to have its consecutive winning and reach the third position on the points table.
