That's okay, i can understand that. We'll continue the pool like last time. Bhai you won't mind being our Escrow, right?
You should be fine by yourself but I have no problem if you want me to perform the job. Use this address (reserved for the event) when you make the final topic: bc1qyp77547rssg9rsxcdyfueleczntkl502w7lv28 I guess but i don't see myself as a right candidate for Escrow, that's why i requested you to take this task. A sponsor would be nice. We can use the extra cash to get more users onboard and to make the event for interesting. I am trying with BTC365 to check if they are interested and if yes then how much they will be able to put into the pot. I will try some other startups too but not promising anything yet. I would suggest everyone to give a try to the contacts you have your own. At the end, we will see who will be suitable. We can have more than one sponsor by the way, can't we? Sponsor are always welcome, doesn't matter if its 1 or 2 or more. I think everyone would be very happy if we even get close to $500-700 bucks for a final pot, considering 10-12 usual suspects coming along on board again as usual. I will try speaking with some managers here and there to see if any of them are interested in sponsoring this particular pool.
Would be great help bhai.
Edit Also on merit thingy, i think that regulars should also hand out some merits to valuable posts in our cricketing threads. Even if its 1 merit. This might encourage some posters to write good post from time to time. Looks like it's the happy time of the year  looking forward to the prediction pool this time. This time with more teams IPL would be much longer. unfortunately, missed the pool towards the end last time but I see the number of participants are going down with each edition, Indian members are going to dormancy or what? By the Way @JSRAW, make sure you deduct TDS while giving the prize from the pot to anyone, 30% tax will have to be paid by the winner this time. Thanks @Roysee777 for raining merits bro. |

It was a big match for India, at the beginning it looked like a winning match for India. Once West Indies started its batting the winning turned towards West Indies. It was quite surprising to see Pooran and Powell make a good partnership. However the winning credit goes to Bhuvanesh Kumar who restricted West Indies batsmen to score just 4 runs in the 19th over. Finally India have won the match by 8 runs.
Yes India was playing very bad today, especially with their fielding, two dropped catches which almost gave away the game to West Indies, only good thing was that 19th over in which Bhuvi got a wicket and conceded just 4 runs, but even after that in the last over the 2 sixes had me thinking that we might still lose the game but Harshal thankfully managed the win with the slower ones which West Indians aren't really good at playing. I think best part for West Indies was Roston Chase bowling so nicely and the good partnership between Powell and Pooran which almost took WI towards the win unfortunately couldn't complete it. But it was the most competitive match the whole tour so far. |

This is a good initiative that crypto influencers have taken up to aware people that they are actually being robbed with this 30% tax rate in place. Even though I have signed the petition myself but I generally don't feel these petitions and things are useful when it comes to government decisions, our government didn't hear pleas of farmers for more than 15 months even when they were sitting on the roads blocking tolls and dying every day. After that much time also laws were repealed primarily only because of upcoming elections. These sort of petitions they wouldn't even give heed about which is pretty sad. They make laws based on what suits their overall agenda and thats it. |

In as much as my private key gives me full control of my funds and it grants me access to sign a transaction if it gets misplaced then I'm doom for life. What if there was an improvement on this maybe a way of recovering back ones private key if it gets misplaced even if it would take a proof of work alogrithm or even a more tudious process but having a chance to get back lost wallets in cases of carelessness or maybe hazardous damage since it's not advisable to store private keys online nor would it possible for everyone to memorize this combined alpha-numeric values of SHA256 alogrithm
Everyone wants such a thing in Bitcoin but the problem is security itself, if one's wallet keys can be recovered this means it is somehow stored somewhere from where this thing can never be safe, instead of that the current method is better, everyone just writes up their keys and safely stores somewhere with themselves, this way you are not even having a universal place where everyone stores bitcoin and also having an extra place to look up for in case you lose your bitcoin private key. In such a manner at least no one can have an idea where you have stored your key as only you know this and ideally it should always be offline so that creepy bots don't find their way to such data. |

Recently India has passed a crypto bill to tax crypto income by 30% but at the same time claiming that taxing cryptos doesn't make them legal and states it's country's sovereign right to tax crypto and this atrocity doesn't stop here as they have mentioned that the decision about banning crypto or legalizing it will taken after further consultation. Can they tax something which is not legal? How can a country tax something which is not legal? Moreover they still have plans of banning crypto since they are not clear about their stands on legalization. Not sure if it's an attempt to unofficially break the crypto market in India or what's going on. Share your thoughts on this. Source: https://www.businessinsider.in/cryptocurrency/news/taxing-cryptocurrencies-does-not-give-them-legal-status-clarifies-indias-finance-minister/articleshow/89500097.cmsYes, they have always been taxing what is not legal. Gambling they tax heavily and gambling is not legal within the territory of India but yet from the very start gambling income is taxed heavily in the country. Even though I don't agree with this sort of draconian law on crypto but still 30% tax is still bearable. What is not at all bearable is the hefty 1% TDS that will be levied on sale proceeds every time you will make a sale. This doesn't make any sense and is irrational and is a deliberate technique to stop crypto trading in India. What I see from here is that they might in the coming months ban the foreign exchanges altogether and then eventually ban cryptos. They think this way they might get rid of it in phased manner. Bit different view, As in India Wazirx, BitBNS, CoinDCX, Zebpay, and a few more offer crypto exchange services, where users can only exchange cryptocurrencies, except that no government can know how much crypto asset you hold. All of the above exchanges are members of IAMAI (Internet And Mobile Association of India), along with this Binance is also a member of IAMAI. So, banning is not possible, in a legal manner. so taxation of the exchanged asset against fiat is charged by 30%. At a certain level, exchanges have always been with the government for legal interaction. But to date, everything is going well as it's all about KYC and AML. But crypto and blockchain are revolutionary and innovative concepts taking the world to a new height. The government also still testing its possibilities. But surely it will take much time to adjust to the global economy. As in the crypto market, many innovative things are happening which are solely based on cryptocurrencies, blockchain including AI and ML technologies. So the future is completely innovative but at the same time, it will be much more costly. Banning is not possible in a legal manner? How do you say that? What is legal or illegal is decided by the parliament itself and if it wants to declare something illegal it definitely can. Nothing can really stop that unless you are violating the constitution itself which too anyways can be ammended. I think you didn't get my point. My point was if government is going to levy TDS on every crypto transaction they are indirectly making trading futile exercise hence banning bitcoin in an indirect way. |

Does anyone know how to monitor new and emerging cryptocurrencies?
I hear about these floats of new cryptocurrencies but have not idea how to know when they're coming.
Thanks
These days new Cryptocurrencies filtering is pretty easy I would say. The best way is to move where major VCs are moving, we are currently in the VC backed era of Cryptocurrencies where only the currencies which get such funding in early stages are able to succeed rest of the currencies are not able to make their mark. So you just follow the major VC funds or follow around Crypto news websites to see whether some currency got any backing from a VC. This can be a good filtering criteria. |

A 29-year-old crypto billionaire who's perfected digital-currency arbitrage shares 2 tips for investors looking to get started in trading — and explains why ether is unlikely to surpass bitcoin
So I was searching the Internet for available legends in the world of cryptocurrency trading that have been able to develop a strategy that deliver a passive trading gains and I stumble on this legend called Sam Bankman who is on forb list of crypto billionaires who have broken some record are are able to share their tips. 
This legend has altogether different strategy and I think it's definitely not based on technical analysis, his strategy is more like the strategy of renaissance technologies which uses quantitative methods to compute each trade and only then enter into the trade. The entry, exit & SL, even the lot size is decided way in advance, and considering the huge portfolio sizes of these funds they also have to take care of the timing while accumulating various coins, because they definitely can't do in just one buy order. They accumulate over a period of time and then distribute over a period of time too. |

What a lovely match it was. Yes India own the 1st Paytm T20 against WI. Yes there was a lot of pressure at the end when wickets were falling back to back. But Surya Kumar played well and handled the situation very well and yes Surya Kumar along with Vekatesh Iyer played till the end easily scoring the required scores. It was a challenging match but finished smoothly at the end. Good work from WI as well. Pooran really played well. Good match. Awaiting for the 2nd T20.
It was an easy win for India though WI gave a good target. I was expecting target of 130 to 140 from WI but Porran innings and late hitting by Pollard take the score to 157. In reply India was steady and they just lost 4 wickets while chasing this 157 runs target. Still nothing impressive from kohli. West Indies who were bowling well in the ODI series didn't really bowl that great here while on the other hand there batting was far better than the ODI series. But after the watching the first match I somehow get the feeling that T20 series too is going to be a cakewalk for the Indian team. I thought WI could give a good competiton in this format but unfortunately they aren't able to. Is this because of India's sheer strength at home? |

https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-makes-first-seizure-nfts-tax-crackdown-2022-02-14/UK makes first seizure of NFTs in tax crackdown
British tax authorities said on Monday they had made their first seizure of non-fungible tokens in a crackdown on suspected criminal activity to hide money.
Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs seized three NFTs after investigating an attempt to defraud the public coffers of 1.4 million pounds ($1.9 million).
Around 5,000 pounds worth of other crypto assets were also seized.
The probe also led to the arrest of three people for alleged value added tax repayment fraud involving 250 fake companies. Now we can see people using NFT for tax evasion and money laundry. We are about to see a lot of new laws and regulations related to bitcoin, cryptocurrency and NFT. NFTs definitely are the easiest way to launder your money out. Infact the useless artifacts getting such high valuations was only because the funds were being compromised here and there by changing hands multiple times. And obviously if these things go on soon you are going to see government cracking down on NFTs too all around the world, values of Cryptocurrencies can still be justified due to it's liquidity but you can never justify an NFTs value because of it's illiquid nature and this is why it's used so much by the money launderers. |

True, but they still overpaid. I find it weird that they decided to shell out so much for him to be honest. Players like Warner were bought for less than half of that amount which seriously blows my mind.
Also, I was stunned to see Smith go unsold while Kohli was retained by his franchise. Players like Stokes etc would probably go unsold too if they participated in this season.
Majority of Players in the Marquee list got bad deals, except Shreyas Iyer but he's up for captaincy slot so his price tag make sense. Warner and Quinton De Kock were the main victims, historically every franchise avoid bidding war during first round (Marquee auction), same thing happened yesterday. These 2 batters could have fetch 8-9 crore easily but its a bad luck that they were up for grab at the very start. It happened to so many players in the past as well Rohit, Bumrah comes to my mind when they were sold to Mumbai less than million bucks. Having said that I'm sure if Warner and De Kock perform well in upcoming season then they are going to get extra money -under the table deal-. I really think that Indian players are more prioritized here in the IPL auction and every other overseas player are kept as the second option. And it doesn't matter who the player is most of the time. I really think that this is a good strategy by BCCI or anyone who ever thought this for the first time because in this way more and more Indian players are going to come to focus. I think the simple reason why Indian players are more prioritized in IPL is one because you can only play a maximum of 4 players in your squad which makes it useless to keep a lot of foreign players because you are uselessly paying for them if you find the right combination of 4 players in early matches. The second problem is foreign boards, a lot of time it is seen foreign boards arrange tours with each other during IPL which creates issues for the Franchisee who thought they had their combination ready using foreign players. This is why now most franchisees are ready to invest in uncapped emerging Indian players rather than spending a lot of money on capped foreign players. But obviously star players still get a huge deal because even if they play a few matches for you their performance can make a huge difference and their brand value will also matter. |

Recently the US Secretary of State zoomed to Fiji Island to have discussion with Pacific Island Leaders. The last time such visit happened was 37 years ago. His sole aim is to counter China's influence in that region.
America and the "Quad" are scared that China's aggressive business partnership, infrastructural loans and politically interference in the Pacific will make them loose a strategic partner.
The leaders of the Pacific should cease this opportunity and get the best economic deal. Since both China and US wants their partnership, these leader should consider the offers from both parties and secure the best deal. I am sure the Chinese would visit immediately after the American Secretary leaves the Pacific.
This is true that China's influence in that region is ever increasing and not only in that region but China's influence in Asia, as well as Africa too, is also pretty high at this point of time especially using its Infrastructural Loans to poor countries who are not able to repay them on time. I think the US's old strategy of exerting its influence using military bases around the world has more or less faded down. I think Pacific nations know the strategic importance of their location therefore will try to capture the best deal which is available to them, but at the same time they should also try not to get overburden with any such assistance that the repayment of such loan doesn't becomes difficult. |

If Crypto derivatives is banned in UK, does that mean it's also illegal for traders to trade it in other exchanges that are located in other countries?
Is there anyway for retail traders trade futures in UK?
What happens to the profit you made if you found out about the ban little later.
I think it might be illegal to create synthetic crypto derivatives on exchanges in the UK, it might not be illegal to trade on such derivatives if you can get a hands-on one. Can you please help with any reference text from where you are saying that such a thing is illegal in the UK? I know so many trades in the UK who do trading in Derivatives. Talking about profit I don't think you would be traced out for such small profits. If you are worried about taxation then I would recommend you to pay taxes similar to what you would have paid if the derivatives were in stocks instead of cryptos. Take exactly a similar approach and pay taxes. I doubt there would be big digging on this. |

General opinion is that a side job is one that supports the main income of an individual, often times perceived as something that brings little money to add to what you make from your day job. If Mr X earns better from a side job when compared to the income from his career option, does the side job still qualify to be called a side job?
I think nothing is a side job, it's all about creating multiple streams of income. In general nomenclature what you do for more number of hours or what pays you more is considered the main job and other one the sif job. But I think you should keep it by numbering your streams of income and try to increase this number as much as possible, so that even if you lose one stream of income you can survive on the remaining ones. It's like an advanced model of not keeping all your eggs in one basket. |

That was unexpected for this guy INR 15.25 crore by MI. RCB got Harshal Patel and Hasarangsa for INR 10.75 crore each. It is raining money for now. Till now Ishan Kishan is the most expensive player for IPL 2022. I do not think any franchise will bid for English players this time as they have not performed last year and also the humiliating defeat is Ashes.
Ishan kishan base price was 2 crore but he was sold for 15 crore INR. The guy has played only 3 ODI and 5 T20I for India. I really have no idea how they are paying so much money for average player. Ishan is now the second most expensive Indian player in IPL till date. Let's see what benefit this 15 crore player gave to Mumbai. He hasn't got big experience playing for the Indian cricket team, but he was the captain for U19 team during the year 2016. He have played good number of IPL matches, and his performance seems to be consistent which is the reason for his high pay on the auction. During 2018 auction he was bought by Mumbai Indians. In that season he is the highest run scorer for Mumbai Indians with with 516 runs from 14 matches. Maybe that can be a reason for paying this money on him. An inexperienced player is being charged an extremely high price for 15.25 crores. The price should be less than 10 crores or 12 crores at most. However, SRH ruined the game. Mumbai Indians made their first purchase of the day today, and it's a massive deal for Ishan Kishan! That was such a silly move on their part. Neither Quinton de Kock nor Trent Boult were chosen over Ishan Kishan. It doesn't make sense to me. If you follow IPL auction of earlier years closely, generally players with bright futures get highest bids because auctioneers like to invest in future. He is not at all inexperienced in IPL infact was a star performer for MI in previous IPL. Even though his career stats are average but he has a lot of talent, i agree 15 crore is high but I expected him to go till 10-11 easily. It was SRH because of which this happened. |

The only thing West Indies can be proud of after this series is their bowling line-up. They were able to bowl India all out in 2 out 3 games. This indicates that they bowling attack is still pretty good and that also on Indian pitches which are always more helpful for the batsmen and 300+ scores are easily manageable here. West Indies stopped India at around 250s in both matches. But obviously batting front they were miserable. It's not that their complete batting line-up is very bad. There are a few players who have made their names in leagues around the world but still they have failed miserably in India. I think t20 might be a better and favourable platform for WI, I am not expecting t20s to be a cakewalk for Indian team.
In T20 West Indies will be a different team and will be competitive. It is true that i was surprised with the way in which West Indies bowled throughout the series, Indian batting looks really weak but then the tail end players always take the team to respectable target which is a good sign but the top order was struggling and in all the matches they kept rotating players which i do not understand. I think India was treating this series like a warm up series for upcoming tours, they knew no matter what happens they are going to win this series for sure so one can try out different combinations to see which one works the best. I feel the experiment failed though in each of the match because top order batsmen couldn't really do that well. But the worry now India should have is that if we performed like this against West Indies what will happen to the batting against big teams. |

I do not want to repeat what I have posted before about what was going on in Russia and how the Central Bank of Russia were making moves to make sure crypto transactions are banned in the country, they want to follow what China did. But the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin later spoke good about bitcoin mining and believe this will do the country good. If you are interested to read about it: Fate of bitcoin in RussiaIf the president had not made his own research, the Central Bank of Russia might have succeeded. After the good news from Vladimir Putin, Russia wants to make bitcoin a currency. Russian government and central bank agree to treat Bitcoin as currencyRussia’s government and central bank are now working on a draft law that will define crypto as an “analogue of currencies” rather than digital financial assets set to be launched on Feb. 18. Cryptocurrencies would function in the legal industry only if they have complete identification through the banking system or licensed intermediaries.
Kommersant noted that Bitcoin (BTC) transactions and possession of cryptocurrency in the Russian Federation are not prohibited; however, they must be done through a “digital currency exchange organizer” (a bank) or a peer-to-peer exchange licensed in the country. This is a very welcoming move for everyone in cryptos world. Now everyone knows that whatever happens there is atleast this one major country which totally supports bitcoin and even Bitcoin mining, so it's not only a safe haven for hodlers but also for miners whose countries are deciding to ban bitcoin. Moreover with Russia the best thing is there is no Government change so you will never see a change in ideology too. |

West Indies lost by 96 runs even after India gave a target of only 26 runs. I knew the West Indies batting line-up was weak, but I never thought they would play so badly. Odean Smith is the highest run scorer for West Indies. He has scored 36 runs off 18 balls. On the other hand, India's top order failed even today. The collection of the first 3 batsmen was only 23 runs. For a long time now we have been seeing weak top order in India.
There isn't much to say about West Indies batting in all three ODIs, it failed miserably. West Indies is no more a team we saw in 90s when Walsh, Ambrose, Carl Hopper and Brian Lara were in team and it was terrible feeling playing against them. They are good in T20 only, next are 3 T20Is on kolkata and West Indies need to win them to avoid further humiliation. The only thing West Indies can be proud of after this series is their bowling line-up. They were able to bowl India all out in 2 out 3 games. This indicates that they bowling attack is still pretty good and that also on Indian pitches which are always more helpful for the batsmen and 300+ scores are easily manageable here.

Mainstream news media company publishes a negative article on Binance. Owner of Binance buys news media company hehehe. I reckon Binance is taking a different marketing strategy from FTX in expanding their business to a more mainstream market. We have already witnessed FTX, crypto.com and some projects in the cryptospace partner themselves with sports teams and sports businesses to connect to a mainstream audience. It appears the crypto takeover might only be beginning.  Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, is making a $200 million strategic investment in Forbes, the 104-year-old magazine and digital publisher, CNBC has learned.
The funds will help Forbes execute on its plan to merge with a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, in the first quarter, according to people with knowledge of the deal.Read in full https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/10/forbes-spac-binance-led-by-the-worlds-richest-crypto-billionaire-is-taking-a-200-million-stake-in-forbes-.htmlThis is big news, Not only because a crypto exchange has made such a huge investment but also because the investment is in such an old and prestigious media house. Forbes is undoubtedly a very reputed source of information for a lot of people so if Binance makes an investment into Forbes there are big chances that this is not only to increase the public reputation of Binance but also to improve the reputation of the crypto sector as a whole. Maybe this could act as a platform now where Binance could voice his projects and ideas to the people. Also, this indicates that crypto companies that once only were considered sector-specific are now assimilating with other sectors very well. |

Sex is the intercourse between man and a woman which meant to reproduce likeness.
But the contemporary generation take sex as an intoxicating flashly enjoyment that causes sin which is against God.
Yes men can live without Sex but how possible is that because men love sex to the core that most of them can't even control their libido.
So, how can one controls his huge?
Can man live without sex? Yes obviously! Some people have proven it, especially some saints, monks, etc. But can a man live without orgasm? I don't think so. A man no matter how much he wants to channel his energy elsewhere, it always lives as a social animal where it interacts every day with the opposite gender and same gender, you can call it evolution or whatever but we are bound to have such feelings where we want to come close to another person. If we restrain ourselves from meeting the other person still whenever we will be alone we won't be able to control that urge. This especially becomes impossible for someone who has experienced the oxytocin rush for once. |
