Getting rid of DOGE is going to be much more difficult, I am afraid. Because the liquidity is extremely low and the top-100 wallets contain around 70% of the circulating supply. Dealing with a few million USD worth of DOGE should be OK. But anything more than that, they will face a lot of issues related to liquidity. Serves the loser Elon right. Let him lose a few hundred million with DOGE. Ungrateful b@stard got $1 billion in profit from his Bitcoin investment, and yet he tried to destroy BTC.

This is one of the reasons why I favor a greater number of teams in the world cup. The FIFA has announced their plans to increase the total number of teams from 32 to 48. This would guarantee greater representation from around the world, and will make sure that there will be a greater number of upsets against the top ranking teams. Teams such as Iceland and Cameroon needs to play in the world cup, to make it more exciting. Sometimes I get tired of watching the established teams such as Brazil, Argentina and Germany.

Emirates such as Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi are considered as main operating grounds of the cricket match fixing mafias. And this is one of the reasons why the BCCI decided not to stage any triangular or quadrilateral tournaments there anymore. But now the fixing has spread to other parts of the world as well. And ever since people like Srinivasan and Sharad Pawar got power within the BCCI/ICC, there has been an increase in such incidents.

Ethereum is already looking overpriced. ETH now accounts for close to 20% of the total cryptocurrency market cap and it's valuation stands at around $450 billion. Given the disadvantages such as high transaction fee and lack of scalability, I would say that ETH is looking extremely overpriced at these levels. I would rather sell at least a part of the ETH holdings, and divert at least partially towards other coins such as Cardano, Litecoin and Polkadot. Even Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum Classic looks attractive now.

Elon thinks that Bitcoin will die out if he doesn't endorse it. He is going to be terribly disappointed. At the most, this bearing phase is going to last for 1-2 weeks. After that we'll be above $50,000 per coin and the next bull run should take it above $100,000 level. Elon fanboys are running to accumulate as much DOGE as they can. I want to see their reaction when Dogecoin loses 80% of its value, once the hype subsides.

He was probably suggesting to migrate there illegally, which is not a good move IMO. Illegal immigrants are not treated with respect in any corner of the world, and on top of that I don't think that anyone there can get around without a knowledge of spoken French. When it is perfectly legal to migrate to Argentina or Brazil, that should be the first choice. Although it is a part of France in a political sense, French Guiana is no more developed when compared to the other countries and territories in South America.

I fell victim to Ponzi schemes and scams so many times that it is very difficult to select one out of them. Many times I invested in scam projects and lost money. These mostly happened in 2014 and 2015, when the Bitcoin prices were really low. Back then, BTC0.10 or BTC0.20 was not very large amounts, and therefore I mostly ignored them and moved on. But now I have a lot of regret about those incidents. If I had those coins with me now, then I would have been in a very comfortable position.

Match fixing was always prevalent in cricket. The entry of franchise T20 leagues have worsened the situation. A few years back, two of the franchises were suspended, after it was found that their own owners were involved in match fixing. And back then, one of the franchise owners was the president of the BCCI (N Srinivasan). He quickly hushed up the matters and refused any further investigation. Unfortunately it is an example of what happens, when the cricket boards are under the control of politicians and businessmen, rather than former players.

The 2015 fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather generated around $500 million, and was one of the most revenue generating fights in the history of boxing. If they wanted a rematch, then it should have been arranged in the next 1-2 years. Now both the athletes are in their 40s and I don't think that a fight between them will generate enough revenue, on a level we had in 2015. Also, Mayweather has made it clear manytimes that he is no longer interested in a rematch. For all practical purposes, he is retired from boxing.

A few weeks ago, there was a thread in the Altcoin Section. It was related to the level of centralization with Dogecoin. According to the OP, more than 68% of the Dogecoin circulating supply is stored in the top-100 wallets. Obviously these whales are the beneficiaries from the recent Dogecoin bull run. The concern regarding electricity consumption was just a silly excuse. Elon's real intention was to replace Bitcoin with Dogecoin. But he is going to fail, just like what happened to others like Mark Zuckerberg.

LOL.. so he didn't knew about the electricity consumption by Bitcoin mining pools when he first accepted Bitcoin? He has no issues in accepting fiat payments for his cars. He is selectively targeting Bitcoin, because he want to promote some shitcoin like Doge in it's place. I had a lot of respect for Elon Musk, but not anymore. His main intention is to destroy Bitcoin, by giving the flimsiest of the excuses. But he will soon find out that he will not be able to do so. Bitcoin has emerged like a phoenix from temporary setbacks in the past as well.

My source is United States FDA. The US has so far administered more than 141 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine and in less than 1% of the cases adverse effects were noted. You can check another report from Public Health Ontario here:

https://www.publichealthontario.ca/-/media/documents/ncov/epi/covid-19-aefi-report.pdf?la=en

On the other hand, if you want to ignore these scientific reports and agree with people like Jair Bolsonaro (who claim that Pfizer vaccine can turn humans in to alligators), then I don't have the time or patience to convince you regarding the efficiency of the vaccine.

The state-level domestic tournaments don't have the same quality as the IPL. Now having a second division league may not be a practical idea. How the BCCI will lay out the eligibility criteria? A better idea will be to give more visibility to the already existing state level franchise leagues, such as the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL), Karnataka Premier League (KPL) and T20 Mumbai League. The quality of these leagues can be improved with the addition of foreign players. 

The block size restriction is not going to change, so only a limited number of transactions can be accommodated in each block. The block size has remained the same since 2009, although the userbase has grown manifold ever since. There is no mechanism within Bitcoin to accommodate the increasing number of users. And for smaller and medium sized payments, a lot of people are currently using other cryptocurrencies such as Litecoin, USDT, Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum Classic.

Greed, manipulation, FOMO.. everything is involved with Dogecoin right now. The largest holders control a huge percentage of the Dogecoin circulating supply and they are artificially inflating the prices by keeping their coins away from trading. An artificial scarcity is being created, in order to pump the prices. It will be interesting to know when they will dump their coins. Because given the poor liquidity of this coin, I won't be surprised even if the prices go down by 70% or 80% in a single day (a few days back we already had a 40% drop).

The concern raised here is 100% valid, but the example being given is wrong. In case the electricity goes out for a few hours, we will still be able to use our laptops and mobile phones. And the internet connection will not be disrupted. Even if the electricity disruption lasts for a longer period, there are other options such as invertors and portable solar panels. And if you still insist, then we can use physical Bitcoins (such as the ones issued by Casascius many years ago).

I checked the credentials of the author (Mohammad Rashed Hasan Polas, PhD Candidate from Limkokwing University of Creative Technology Cyber Jaya). The author is a research scholar in the field of economics and doesn't have any certification in Islamic Law. So what they have stated in their article is their own personal opinion, and not a credible interpretation of the Islamic law. If Bitcoin is indeed haram, then the clarification needs to come from some Islamic theological authority and not from some college professors.

For a more acceptable opinion on this subject, you can listen to the opinion from Assim al Hakeem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFagu4Avf4M

I have been a proud Bitcoiner since 2014, and I don't care about this shithead Elon Musk. Musk got interested in Bitcoin very late and perhaps now he has realized that he will make more profits by promoting some coin which he can manipulate. He tried to manipulate Bitcoin, but found that due to its decentralized nature that is not possible. So now he is targeting shitcoins such as Doge. I really don't care about him. He may be able to cause a temporary setback to Bitcoin, but we will recover.

Needs to be said in a relative sense. For someone with a net worth of above $1 million, this amount may be huge, but not life-threatening. But the same can't be said about someone who has a savings of only around $25,000. A few years back, I read about an Arab sheikh, who lost around $10 million in a casino in Monaco. These guys could afford that, because they have enough cash with them. The problem occurs when someone with a hand to mouth existence try to repeat the same.

The big pharma companies refused to wave the IP and patent for the vaccine. This made sure that these companies are able to make tens of billions of USD in profits. But at the same time, huge numbers of people died in the developing world due to the shortage of vaccines. I understand that Pfizer has reported record profits for the first quarter of 2021. So it is clear that already these companies have made enough money. Perhaps now it is time to waive the patents and make the vaccine more accessible to all. Until the vaccination coverage is good, the virus will continue to mutate and will pose a threat to the already vaccinated population.
