1221  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it the right time to invest in cryptocurrencies? on: May 29, 2022, 01:28:38 PM
Over the last few weeks entire market have collapsed reaching the bottom around $28000. Based on several predictions, the price could fall even lower. Altcoin investments were high risk involved against the investment over bitcoin. Altcoins on the top order is quite good to invest, however when we make an investment on the bear market we should have the patience to get rewarded with profit.

Right now the market is in the bottom and very few altcoins are in good shape whereas majority have reached the down bottom value. For users who have the ability to risk can invest on low cap altcoins, because in future if the price reaches the previous ath it'll bring big profit.

There is a big difference between favouritism and quota. A quota basically means a fixed seats for individuals belonging to a particular race or ethnicity. I am not sure about other south Asian countries but in India we do not have such kind of quota in cricket. Favouritism is present in India but it doesn't mean the whole team is selected based on it. Another important aspect of Indian cricket is that nepotism also doesn't work here.

Agreed. Favoritism and nepotism are there in cricket (although not as much as it used to be there in the old times), but these are individual-based preferences and doesn't favor any particular religion or ethnic group. As we have seen, nepotism alone can't guarantee the survival of players. Kohli tried to stuff the national team with RCB players such as Navdeep Saini, Washington Sundar and Mohammed Siraj. But in the end, these players couldn't cement their positions in the national side and Kohli himself lost the captaincy.

Yes, that is true. The difference between the quota system and nepotism/favoritism is that the quota system is actually directly affecting the selection of a cricket team for a long time. Like the players are going to be there even though there are other players who are the best fit for the job.

But in Favoritism, a player might get chances of playing but if they don't play well they will eventually be dropped.

So, eventually in my opinion the quota system causes a lot more harm instead of nepotism/favoritism. But I believe both are detrimental to the future of cricket.
Cricket is a game of talent and skills when you implement quota you destroy the basic requirement of the game. I do not think quota should be imposed in sports as such. If you want to provide quota then give financial and coaching assistance to those new talents that are economically backward. You can implement quota at that level but not for selection.
Quota will never workout with cricket, because this will also lead to improper judgement. Will the right person from the specific quota will be selected, no there corruption will play a role. Even now somehow things are getting on track amidst corruption and different forms of favouritism, nepotism, selection process. To keep things perfect everything needs to be transparent, but the same isn't possible.

Rashid Khan's overs in the final may cause much damage to the Rajasthan Royals. As a player, Rashid played very effectively at each game, and he is capable of creating buzz among the players. Rashid Khan will cause Rajasthan a headache tonight, or will they be able to overcome him? Taking early wickets will allow Rashid Khan to surround them with problems. Despite new arrival, Titans are a compact team this season. Therefore, I think they also have a chance of lifting up the trophy.
There are a few things that could work in favor of Gujarat Titans. First of all, they have the home advantage. And secondly, they have a better team balance when compared to the Rajasthan Royals. RR is overdependent on a few players such as Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson, however that is not the case with Gujarat. Most of their batsmen, including Miller, Tewatia, Saha, Gill, Wade and Pandya have performed well this season. Even Rashid has scored crucial runs for the Gujarat Titans. And as far as bowling is concerned, the combination of Lockie Ferguson and Mohammed Shami worked well for them so far.

Considering the performance of these two teams, the Gujarat team seems to be the favorite. Because their performance is quite stable. Rajasthan's bowling lineup is a bit weak. However, the bowlers' performance against Bangalore was good. But Rajasthan has some experienced batsmen. Butler, Samson, Padikkal, Jaiswal and Hetmyre are all very experienced in the T20 format. But they can't perform well on a regular basis. If the top order of Rajasthan can perform well, then it is hard for Gujrat to win this match.
Both teams take lead in some parameters, and in today's match the toss will play a big role. Unlike the previous matches the playoff matches were scheduled to start little late. This is in connection to the dew factor, which means there shouldn't be any supportive pitch situation based on the dew factor. Rajasthan Royals have reached the final after its first win of 2008 season. This has created big expectation over Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans on the other side is very positive to make its first trophy in its very first season.

History of the previous transactions weren't required when you're involved with P2P transaction. There is very minimal chance of such issues. If you're an unlucky person to face such a problem you've got the perfect data in your hands. Show the transaction involved, so that it'll redirect to the person from whom you've made the purchase. If you're that feared, then find a mixing service once after buying.

If the transaction is connected with any of the exchange hacked fund, then there is chances for freezing of funds.

New projects brings lot of profit, but to get into the investment opportunities is very narrow. I've tried more number of new projects entering the market. During the pre-sale there used to be queue and the lucky one gets in, because millions participate and a few thousand gets the opportunity. Within a few days of listing most of the good projects gives you atleast 2x return. One of the project that I tried gave 100x return on the first day of listing, further dropped down.

Everywhere there is risk and to the risk we take there is chances of profit as well as loss. This is common, and in recent days the emergence of lots of altcoins have made it a hard task for people to choose the right altcoin for investment. Among the altcoins we've got trusted ones same as that we've got bitcoin. For risk free altcoin investment, it is good to go upon those altcoins than preferring high risk altcoins for increased profit.

Seems they decided to give out the remaining amount they didn't send out because the stream ended early. Ran out of steam after awhile.
Check to see how much you got cause it depends on your rank from the looks of the comments shown so far:
https://twitter.com/Stake/status/1530018700517965824

From $8mln to start with ran it up to a bit over $19mln in less than 25 minutes in was pretty good.
But like he said: "This was nothing to me to lose!" "Stake won this time but will get them next time!" Cheesy

Platinum III received 0.00276btc from what I seen of the above giveaway.
Not to shabby for watching a 2 hour stream.

Thanks for sharing the twitter link managed to claim $50 luckily I'm not too late  Smiley when I share it with my friends it's already been claimed
I just found out that there was a bonus that was sent to twitter but not included in telegram usually almost all bonuses must be via telegram
a few hours earlier there was a $10 bonus on telegram but this is a different bonus.
Yes, there was a $10 bonus claim before the stream and number of claims were very limited. Just 2000 claims were allowed. I missed it by few minutes, because I was eligible that I've wagered $2000 in the last week. Maybe the coming weekend bonus gets added with a small bonus as we didn't had much of bonus drops on the telegram. Just a single bonus drop for the Drake Stream.

The government's goal is to promote cryptocurrency trade on authorized exchanges (approved and regulated by SEC).


This is very good. I think this is about providing security to the people and not to stop them. The youth will have more benefit in this because they have more years to stay around and can invest to hodl more cryptocurrency investment. They scare of scam exchanges will be reduced because the government making sure to secure exchanges in their country.
Governments allowing specific exchanges to perform the trading of cryptocurrencies limit the usage. The reason for which the government have taken the decision is really appreciable and a forward thinking compared to the countries that make a direct ban of cryptocurrencies. Slowly the country needs to provide way to spending, through which the real usage of crypto can be understood. What Thailand government have done, given the access similar to digital gold.

People will keep on thinking about the market dip and will never get into the market even if the price reaches the targeted bottom. This is the mentality of the people when the market is bearish. In these kind of situation Whales take role and accumulate more. Common users never go for big risks and they prefer buying when the market is on the bullish move. This means users look for the profit immediately rather than holding for some time period when market is bearish.
1230  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't trade your Bitcoin like Laszlo Hanyecz on: May 27, 2022, 09:42:23 PM

Laszlo Hanyecz very much made into the Bitcoin history book as one of the first to prove that BTC can be used like an ordinary money. Now, had I been in his place i would not just buy pizza but also some coffee and maybe eve donuts with my BTC mined. We have many things to thank this man for taking the risks and for finding that pizza patrol for the transaction. And that is why we have an annual Bitcoin Pizza Day to honor the event, honor the man and honor Bitcoin. I am wondering what kind of pizzas were bought back then...
In the history of bitcoin we don't know the identity of Satoshi. Atleast we've seen the person who have given value to the marvelous innovation. He mentioned it was two large pizzas. I would like to remind people not to donate anyone requesting in the name of Laszlo Hanyecz. Came across a Twitter account requesting donation.
We aren't that dumb to fall for this begging scam attempt which is clearly that he's not Laszlo even though he had make use of that 10k coins but for sure he was proud off considering that this was a historical event that happened into this crypto space which it had been recognized by this community and for sure that is something that he would be proud of but it can't really be denied in speaking into those coins if ever he do able to hold it up until now which hey made out himself to be financially free.
The guy himself is proud of spending the big number of buying pizza. That itself a big message and he had made history. Rather than financially free, he might've turned it to more other millions through investment on different firms. Anyhow what he have done will surely repay him in some means. For now he have got fame and he doesn't look like financially good. Possibly something will make him financial free.
1231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: May 27, 2022, 09:34:41 PM
I look forward to watching today's match between Rajasthan and Bangalore. In the first match against Rajasthan this season, Bangalore easily won by batting for 170 runs. But in the second match, Bangalore lost all their wickets for just 115 runs after batting for only 145 runs given by Rajasthan.
However, Bangalore is now a very stable team. The players are consistently playing well. Bangalore also played very well against Gujarat in the last match. So my favorite in today's match is Bangalore
RCB set a low target today and lost the match. Kohli has failed again today with his batting performance. Rajasthan has easily won the match by 7 wickets. Jos Buttler got his 4th hundred today in this IPL season. He also got 4 fifties in this IPL season. Rajasthan will play the final match against Gujarat Titans. Gujarat has a very strong squad, but I'm expecting to see Rajasthan as a winner of this round. They have pretty well balanced team.
Along with its bad luck it was the low score that ended up losing against Rajasthan Royals. The team that was able to score 200+ runs against LSG wasn't able to score the required run. Losing the toss, the performance of Jos Butler throughout the ongoing season and the lack of bowling from RCB. Rajasthan won the first season of IPL and probably will collect the trophy this time.
1232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: May 27, 2022, 06:37:42 PM
Congratulations Rajasthan Royals and Jos Butler. Today's match was won by Jos Butler's far-flung game. He has scored 106 runs off 60 balls.Rajasthan Royals scored 161 runs for the loss of 3 wickets and played 18.1 balls.Rajasthan Royals secured the final by winning the qualifier2 match.

RCB - 157/8 (20)

RR - 161/3 (18.1)

Rajasthan royals won by 7 wkts

We knew that RCB's bowling lineup was not strong enough. And so to win against Rajasthan, they must have played the role of batsmen. But the performance of the batsmen of Bangalore was not good. Du Plessis' strike was less than 100 at night. On the other hand, the performance of no other batsman except Patidar and Maxwell was good. It was very difficult to win against a strong team like Rajasthan with a target of only 158 runs.
Total run was too low to fight against RR because the bowling lineup of RCB isn't good enough. Batsmen of RCB should play well but they didn't manage to play well what they actually needed. RR has played so well what they plays regularly and special Butler was fantastic as usual.
Above all Royal Challengers Bangalore is an unlucky team to enter the finals. In the past RCB have reached three finals and have lost all. In 2009 against Deccan Chargers, against CSK in 2011, during the 2016 season finals RCB lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad. This time it is expected much, because of it being one of the old team that hasn't won a title.
1233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: May 26, 2022, 09:27:09 AM
The second qualifier will be effectively a battle between Virat Kohli and Sanju Samson. From what I have heard, these two are not having a very good personal bond. And both these players are not in very good form with their bat. So far Kohli has scored a total of 334 runs at an average of 23.85, while Samson has managed 421 runs. On paper it may look good, but considering the amount that the franchises paid for them, these figures are not that exciting. Jos Buttler still leads the run charts with 718 runs, and he has at least one match remaining.
Both are much expected players. Compared to Virat Kohli the performance from Sanju Samson is good. Virat Kohli isn't playing his natural cricket. It looks like he's carrying big pressure which leads to early loss of his wicket. The previous match against Gujarat Titans is the one in which we were able to see his natural game. Possibly tomorrow's match is going to be big. The personal bond between these two will make the game to be more aggressive with the bats.
1234  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it a good time to start accepting BTC? on: May 25, 2022, 07:13:42 PM
When you accept bitcoin directly into your business, you're eliminating the third party service provider. In most cases it'll be the banks, for example a consumer pay you in fiat. The fiat gets received by the bank and it is processed and reflected on your account. This happens in a very short time period, but the intermediary have control over your funds.

When the transaction is done in terms of bitcoin, you control your account and holdings. Here there is no time period to start accepting bitcoin, because whether you start accepting bitcoin today or later you're gonna eliminate the third party involvement that's it.

Gujarat Titans has won the match and entered in the final of IPL 2022. They are really lucky, Gujarat has won many games by taking the game into the final over. This is the first season for Gujarat in IPL, they got the top rank in the group stage. Now they have qualified for the final as a first team. David Miller has played a killer innings today. 16 runs were needed in the final over. He hit 3 sixes and took their team in the final.
Congratulation Gujarat Titans for Qualifier in IPL final.Yeah,Gujarat Titans are very luck and their fans are very happy with their performance. If Gujarat Titans is new team to join IPL this season but they showed great work. I think they have balanced team as well.All credit goes go David Miller.

I would like to give full credit to Miller and Pandya for winning this match of Gujarat. However, the second wicket partnership was very effective. Gujarat scored 72 runs for the second wicket pair. And from the Miller-Pandya partnership, Gujarat managed to score 106 runs. Despite the poor performance of the bowlers, Gujarat has qualified for the final only because of the excellent batting of the batsmen.
From the very beginning of the league Hardik Pandya have been playing in a very responsible manner. David Miller have contributed good on the right match. Gujarat Titans were very confident over their batting performance than the bowling. This is why they choose to bowl first after winning the toss. Rajasthan Royals had a big chance with early wickets, but failed to break the partnership at the right time. Anyhow one more opportunity left, and Gujarat Titans reaching the final in its very first IPL appearance.
1236  Economy / Speculation / Re: Sideways huh! on: May 23, 2022, 11:54:30 PM
Bitcoin have turned positive with market capitalization rising 1.5% to $1.37 trillion. Based on the growth pattern there is possible chances of price going above $33k. On the 6 hourly chart, sideways market getting into bullish pattern. Same time there is also risk of price moving downwards. If the price breach down to $28k there is possible chances of price touching down to $25k.

There is huge accumulation happening as the fear and greed indicator is at higher levels. So, more investors will try to make a profit in the short term when price goes high above $33k which too could down the market.

Indian bowlers have always been very polite and calm-natured. Except for the recent era of course. To be honest they have seen other teams sledging and having a good result and I think they are trying that themselves but sometimes they can often cross the line. And the funny thing is the bowlers who actually cross the line are not actually that good at their job Cheesy.
We cant label - that indian bowlers are polite - there have been incidents when they lost their temper on the field as well.
Well sports is a game of emotion as well. So its okie if the player loose a temper. Also the climate change is one of the reasons of mood change too. Has anyone noticed that?
Mood swings might happen, but this won't be happening out of the climate change. When matches go closer, mood swings and players used to react on the field. Indian team have good record on the home ground and gets disturbed when playing abroad. Under the captaincy of Dhoni it is very rare to see such instances of bowlers making statement on batsmen as well as starring the batsmen.

From small amount I used to play slowly and make it atleast triple the amount risked. This means with $50 wallet balance, somehow I'll make it $150. Further I feel satisfied and I allocate the funds for some needs, particularly to pay the interest on loans. Then comes a mind, why can't we make it $500 when we're able to make $50 to $150. This makes me end my wallet balance.
1239  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ever heard of this "buy at dip and be rich in the future" on: May 23, 2022, 05:42:57 PM
I did it all month of April. although do not know where the lowest point. I bought AXS, I bought Sol, ftm, luna, bitcoin, avax, all coins that I think have great potential and prices are falling. but today i started to doubt, what i did was right?
after I observed my assets were down quite a lot and it was enough for me to have trouble. I want to ask what did I do wrong? Or is this the right decision?

I think your decision to buy several Altcoins such as AXS, Sol, FTM, Luna, Avax and Bitcoin is very right, because these altcoins have great potential in the future, but to get big profits we also need a long time. so don't panic if current conditions have made you lose a few assets. because the altcoin you choose is the best altcoins. be patient as the market is going to rise rapidly in the next few months.
Yes, those altcoins in OP's portfolio are really potential ones. Luna have encountered some issue. Apart from that all are potential ones, and we don't know how the market changes with time. Buying the dip is good, but we need to have patience to experience the profit out of the investment. Very few get lucky to make good profit in a short time period. Like the one happened with dogecoin and Shiba due to the influence of Elon Musk.
1240  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What is the best setup to start a crypto investment service on: May 23, 2022, 02:26:15 PM
As explained in the previous post what you've requested is similar to the service that is being offered by Grayscale. It was into digital currency related services since 2013. This adds more trust over the platform. So, people invest over the bitcoin trust fund even when the funds weren't into the individual wallets. You can't expect the same to happen with the start of the service. To gain trust is important and an individual to do such a big task is really tedious. For now OP can start with small number of people, which can be 10-20 members. Here itself can understand whether people will invest or not.
