The over-rated Mumbai bowlers had a meltdown. After 10 overs, the Kerala total was like 150 or so. Some of the commentators were talking about the upcoming IPL auction and Azharuddin's prospects of getting selected by one of the franchises. He needs to perform consistently in the remaining matches to have a chance for that. His first-class and List A averages are in the 20s, and this points to inconsistency.

In another month or so, the winter season in the Northern hemisphere will end and that will naturally cause a reduction in the number of new cases. Vaccination is progressing at a very slow pace and therefore I am not expecting it to have a major impact anytime soon. Till now, only 30 million vaccine shots have been administered, out of a global population of 7.7 billion. It is going to take another 6-7 months before we witness the first signs of the vaccination impact.

Back in 2018, the alt season occurred primarily because of the ICO hype. Also, large number of investors went for various altcoins such as XRP, ETH and ADA, because they looked cheaper when compared to Bitcoin. The investors were hoping for higher returns by investing in new coins. But by late-2018 most of these coins had lost as much as 95% of their value. Those who made their investments back then are not going to do the same mistake again.

Duration of the tournament also matters. A regular player in the IPL is expected to play a minimum of 14 matches, while in the PSL it is much less. IPL stretches for almost two months, while the PSL will be completed in one month. And looking at the salaries of the other leagues such as the BBL and the BPL, I have to say that those in PSL doesn't look too bad.

Well... this is very much true. Bitcoin offers a lot of advantages to its users, but also comes with a few riders. If you don't know how to backup your coins, then you should not hold BTC. The problem is that many of these early investors purchased their coins when they were really cheap, and then forgot about them. Now with the prices having increased to five digits, they want to cash out. I still remember the story about a guy in the United Kingdom, who threw out the hard drive containing BTC15,000 in a rubbish dump, and then spent months looking for it.

The situation has changed in EPL, but previously teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United used to dominate the league. And then on the other end we have teams such as West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United who face relegation. But all these leagues have a promotion/relegation system, which weeds out the weakest teams. It will be better if the ISL also goes for such a system.

I guess the OP put some fake news to use as a clickbait. The first part of his post is correct and Elon Musk is the richest person in the world right now. But the claim that Tesla is the world's most valuable company is just BS. As far as I can see, Tesla is not even in the top-5 list. The top five corporations by market cap are - PetroChina, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Google. 

Then what prevents you from going all the way back to 2010, when it was possible to purchase 1,000 BTC for just $1 from New Liberty Standard? I am quite sure that there will be lot of people regretting the fact that they didn't purchased BTC in 2021, after a couple of years. IMO, there is no point in talking about the lost opportunities in the past. We should focus on the future, because everyone knows that the future potential looks very bright for Bitcoin.

When Shashank Manohar became the ICC chairman, he tried to help the associate nations and was able to slow down the slide for sometime. But with Greg Barclay as the new chairman, this support has ended. IMO, the biggest issue with ICC is that it is being managed by greedy people like Barclay who doesn't have any connection to cricket. On the other hand, sports bodies such as FIFA are being managed by the former international players and they always prioritize the popularity of the sport over money.

The recent rally in cryptocurrency prices came at a time when there was a decline in the purchasing power of the US Dollar, as a result of stimulus and other governmental measures. And with Joe Biden taking charge in a week's time, we can expect further devaluation of the USD. He is already finalizing his plans for another $3 trillion stimulus. Also, a rally for Bitcoin was due ever since the last block reward halving event.

TOI is saying that Washington Sundar may make his debut. Officially he is not a part of the squad, but was asked to stay back in Australia after the ODI/T20I series.  And there is still no confirmation regarding Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin. As per the media, they are being considered as 50/50 probabilities. I don't think that including two spinners (Ashwin and Sundar) is a good idea. I would have rather included Natarajan.

Obviously when someone is making such crazy predictions without much logic behind it, I usually ignore them. But there were a few high quality predictions regarding the future Bitcoin prices recently. One of them was from Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou (JPMorgan Chase & Co.). He made a prediction of $146,000 based on a study which compared gold and Bitcoin. Another quality prediction was made by Tom Fitzpatrick (Citigroup Inc.), who predicted $318,000 based on a technical technical analysis of prior highs and lows. And most importantly, these predictions ere made before the current rally.

That is, if there was a correction. The last time I checked, Bitcoin prices were back to $36,000 per coin (24 hours back, it was trading at $31,000). Look at the pace at which the prices have recovered. It can't get any more clear than this. There will be no correction for the next few weeks at least. Demand is outstripping the supply by a large margin and even if some whale dumps a large amount of BTC, the prices will recover in a day or two.

The governments prefer to have their own national currencies, so that they can print banknotes whenever there is a need. With the controlled supply principle of Bitcoin, that is not possible. Some of the countries have allowed foreign currencies to be used within their jurisdiction on extremely rare occasions (an example is that of Zimbabwe after the Zimbabwe Dollar was withdrawn), but in normal circumstances they will not allow that.

Can't blame anyone. When I heard about Bitcoin for the first time (in 2013), I was also thinking the same. It is not that easy to convince people, especially those who have lose their money on various online scams and Ponzis. But nowadays the attitude has become more positive, perhaps as a result of more favorable coverage from the mainstream media. But that is going to last only until the next major correction.

Well.. I have no doubt about it. Ireland is a dying team. Even test nations such as Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka are going down the drain, and it will be difficult for smaller teams such as Ireland to survive. What happened to Kenya will repeat, perhaps for the last time (after this there won't be any teams like Kenya and Ireland). Two factors have led to the demise of cricket in the smaller nations. The ICC financial model now heavily favors the top 3-4 sides, with associate nations only getting the crumbs. And secondly, the representation law was changed to allow foreigners to represent national sides. Now richer teams like UAE and Oman are importing players directly from India and Pakistan and smaller teams such as Ireland are unable to compete against them. 

Obviously it is the first time that a vaccine against the Coronavirus is being manufactured. The reason is that Coronavirus was unknown to the scientists before 2019. But the vaccine manufacturers (Pfizer, Moderna, Gamaleya Research Institute, Sinopharm.etc) are quite experienced in this field and previously they have invented a numerous vaccines against various viruses, and most of them work very efficiently on humans.

I have followed the ISL for so many years and the point table never looked this much weird. Mumbai City is at the top with 25 points from 10 matches. They have won 8 out of their 10 matches. On the second spot we have ATK Mohun Bagan with 20 points. On the third place, it is Hyderabad FC with 15 points from 10 matches. Can you believe it? 10 point difference between the first placed and third placed teams!

OK. So they are no longer claiming that their tokens are fully backed up with real USD. Great! And most of the people continue to hold USDT, despite knowing that these tokens are not fully backed up. In that case, if USDT becomes worthless and everyone loses their money, then they should just blame themselves. And meanwhile the USDT market capitalization has jumped to $24.2 billion. They are just creating money out of thin air.

Well. His only "professional" fight is against Olajide William Olatunji (KSI), which was regarded as an exhibition match by most of the boxing fans. So I will not give much importance to these stats. He is an amateur and he lost his match against another amateur boxer. Technically I don't think that he can be called as a professional boxer. For all those Logan Paul fans, feel free to bet in his favor. It is a good way of wealth redistribution, IMO.
