Forecast for tomorrow isn't good too but we do hope that we get at least 20 overs tomorrow so that a deserving team reaches the final after playing good cricket.
The good thing is that the match will be resuming at 10:30 am and the first bout of rain is predicted after 12pm (GMT). And after that brief interruption, there is no issue with rain until 5pm. So we should be having a proper 50 over match, as less than 54 overs are remaining. But obviously, these weather predictions are not 100% reliable, especially in case of England. |

I notice that some coins that are already in the market are doing bounty campaign again like Credits, Veil Eterbase and among others, do you think it's important for a coins/tokens that are already listed to run a bounty campaign from time to time even if they are already listed in exchanges.
There is nothing wrong in conducting bounty campaigns even if the coin is listed in exchanges. Actually this can be very beneficial for the bounty hunters, as nowadays very few of the campaigns are actually paying the rewards. It benefits both the sides. The promoters are benefited from increased interest in the project and the bounty hunters benefits from earnings that can be converted to cash immediately. |

I was referring to the ease of buying and selling because of high liquidity of the market. Alex Ginnick of BTCe has laundered billions of dollars.
Also, agreed. It will be harder with KYC and blockchain analysis. However, this is also where anonymous cryptocoins and decentralized exchanges will find its place and find more liquidity.
You are referring to Alexander Vinnik. At the most he laundered a few tens of millions of USD worth of coins. According to the FBI, he laundered close to one million coins, but most of that was done during 2011-12, when the exchange rate was around $5 per coin. The media just multiplied the number of coins with the exchange rate in 2017, and came up with this crazy valuation. |

Right now, the exchange rate of Bitcoin is $12,644 per coin and the market cap is $225 billion. That means that if BTC market cap has to rise to $1 trillion, then the exchange rate should be somewhere around $56,000 per coin. And if the current trends continue, then we may get that price by 2020, after the block reward halving. I don't think that we need to wait till 2025.

For some losers, grapes are always sour... I respect Warren Buffet for the tremendous achievements he had during the 1970s and 1980s. But times have changed and Mr. Buffet is unable to keep up with the changing economic climate. From his interviews, it is very clear that he is unable to understand the basic concept of decentralized currency. And opposing anything that we don't really understand is a basic human trait.

If you compare USD with BTC, then it won't be exactly apple to apple comparison. First of all, Bitcoin is a currency that is decentralized and protected against inflation by the principle of controlled supply. On the other hand, the United States Dollar is a currency that is centralized and not protected against inflation. The purchasing power of BTC may either remain stable or increase in the due course of time, while that of USD will decrease.

Does anyone knows anything about Petro, the cryptocurrency that was created by the Maduro regime? I wanted to check the market cap and trade volumes, but there is no entry for this coin at the coinmarketcap website. There is a listing for PetroDollar (XPD), but I guess that one is a different altcoin. I am surprised because there was news that Petro is being actively used to evade sanctions.

Marcus Stoinis looks doubtful for the semi finals, due to the strain on left side. In case he is unable to play, then Mitchell Marsh will take his place. I think Stoinis will be undergoing fitness test today and in case he fails, then he'll be flying back to Australia. So even before a single ball has been bowled, it is advantage for England. After Khawaja, now Stoinis is going to miss the crucial match.

What will happen in case India loses 2-3 quick wickets and Mahendra Singh Dhoni comes to bat, along with Kedar Jadhav? That will be a nightmare scenario. The run rate may drop to around 3 runs per over and they will be somewhere in the vicinity of 150 after 40 overs. Rohit and Kohli needs to make sure that at least one of them stays past the 40 over mark.
You act like every match will be the same. Hilarious. MSD has been doing his job brilliantly which is to take the game as deep as possible at the cost of sacrificing his strike rate which you critics will never understand. He adds stability in the middle order and Pant and Jadeja are great additions too though Kedar needs a time-out. Funny seeing so many people bickering about the small things when India literally won every match except for the one against England. Some people are never satisfied. Hilarious indeed. I am saying that there is no need for sacrificing the strike rate. India is not like teams such as New Zealand or West Indies. The Indian middle order is very strong and they are capable of scoring at a brisk pace even if a few wickets are lost. In my opinion, players such as Hardick Pandya and Jadeja should bat before Dhoni, so that the run rate is maintained. |

Then, Keith Thurman must shown something good in the ring like how his mouth saying that full of jokes. Keith will just run and run when the fight starts. Better to shut his mouth, then if not, manny will do it and will make his face just like a punching bag.  Watched some fight of thurman and he does seems running more of the time. Better to give and show us a good fight in July 20th and prove that he will make manny retire.  Keith is a decade younger than Manny and therefore it makes sense for him to run around the ring during the initial rounds. Once Manny gets tired, Thurman can go for the kill. But these simple tactics may not work to a great degree against Manny, who has decades of experience. IMO, Thurman should try to get a KO during the initial 5-6 rounds. |

The base factor we are using is not the correct one. We are just checking the BTC vs USD exchange rate to analyze whether Bitcoin is volatile or not. But we always forget that USD itself is a volatile asset (although not volatile as much as the other fiat currencies). It may be better to use gold or some other stable asset as the base factor, if we need to compare the volatility.

During the past two-three weeks, the exchange rate of altcoins such as Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, Ethereum and Litecoin have fallen heavily against Bitcoin. So there is a real possibility that some of the miners could have shifted from mining altcoins to mining Bitcoin.
BCash and BSV miners shifting, sure, but not Ethereum and Litecoin due to the difference in algorithm and hardware needed. If you check the BCH/BSV hash rate, they are either showing a stable difficulty or a declining trend.
BSV has actually made a massive jump in the last 5 or so weeks. It went from 0.4Eh/s to 0.9-1.1Eh/s. BCash is the one lagging behind, but I'm pretty sure that Roger and Bitmain will organize a pump to bring the ratio back to 5%, which seems to be the ratio they are comfortable with. It takes time for them to accumulate enough BTC through mining to have enough to pump their shitcoin by 20-30%. During the last 4 weeks, the BSV mining difficulty has fallen by more than 35% (from 210 G to 135 G). But you are right, prior to that there was a sharp jump in the difficulty. But these figures look abysmal, when we consider the difficulty BSV had at the time of its creation (somewhere around 600 G). The reduction has been in the range of 4-5x. |

Price drop to $1k per BTC  Nope.. FUD can't take Bitcoin to that level. No matter how much Craig Wright try to scare away users from Bitcoin, no one will seriously take him unless he is able to prove the ownership of the coins that were mined in 2009. And in case some miracle happens and he is able to do so, even then Bitcoin may not crash to those levels. By now, Bitcoin has grown larger than Satoshi Nakamoto. |

As long as Bitcoin remains as a decentralized asset, it will act as a safe haven currency. And the recent trends are encouraging. Centralized cryptos such as Ripple and Stable coins such as Tether are going down in terms of market share and the Bitcoin dominance has moved well past the 60% mark. Out patience and belief in BTC is slowly paying off.

First they try to scare us saying that we'll lose our money if we invest in a risky asset (i.e an asset which is not approved by them). Then they threaten us by saying that we'll go to jail if we don't stop investing in cryptocurrencies. Only an idiot would fail to notice the writing on the wall. The critics are getting more and more desperate and Jim Rodgers is definitely one of them.

Hi guys, where do you think should i put my remaining $1300USD? Any suggestion please? and why?
I'd give you two suggestions. 1. Bitcoin: The Bitcoin dominance have been on the rise for the past 3-4 months, which means that the exchange rates are increasing at a better pace compared to the other cryptocurrencies. 2. Bitcoin Cash (BCH): The transaction fee for BTC have risen by at least 10x during the last 3 months. If there is a further increase in the tx fee, then it can prop up the prices of BCH. |

Hello,
I have made $2 million with trading cryptocurrencies and I'm afraid of losing it all so I want to lock half of my money somewhere. Even if I get sick or die, I should NOT be able to withdraw that money. Is there an investment plan like this? Lock for 5 years etc?
Bank cd wouldn't work for me because you can still withdraw that money with penalty.
Nice effort in trolling... lol. In case you want to lock $1 million, then I suggest you invest that amount in the Canada Immigrant Investor Program. Your money will be locked up for 5 years (no premature withdrawal is allowed) and after that duration, the capital amount will be returned to you without any interest. The best part is that you will qualify for Canada PR, and after three years you can apply for the Canadian citizenship. |

I wouldn't read much in to the initial win by NZ during the warmup matches. Indians were relatively new to the pitch conditions and the New Zealand bowlers such as Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson made the maximum use out of it and rattled the batsmen. But now the Indians have got themselves adjusted to the local conditions and therefore it is not going to be a problem.
Agreed but I'm a bit scared of the poor performance of Indian middle order. If opening can't have a good score, Indian batting may collapse within 250 which could be possible to chase. What will happen in case India loses 2-3 quick wickets and Mahendra Singh Dhoni comes to bat, along with Kedar Jadhav? That will be a nightmare scenario. The run rate may drop to around 3 runs per over and they will be somewhere in the vicinity of 150 after 40 overs. Rohit and Kohli needs to make sure that at least one of them stays past the 40 over mark. |

I hope you are right, but I'm afraid not. hehe.. Pacman will win the fight and pacman backers will be happy after the fight as we have money to spend to celebrate.
I am sure all the gambling site owners will be praying for a win by Thurman. In case Pacquiao wins, it will put them in loss as a lot of the users have made their bets in his favor (especially from the Philippines and from the Filipino diaspora abroad). In case Pacman wins, then his supporters will be left with enough money to party all night...  |

Looks like the New Zealand vs India semi-final is going to be an one sided affair. The former have been playing horribly for the past 3-4 matches and I don't think that they have much of a chance against a strong Indian lineup. On the other hand, the other semi-final will be a closely fought one. Both Australia and England have almost equal chances of winning.
India has been playing much better than New Zealand but still we can't predict about the result as New Zealand always is an unpredictable team. The world cup stats are slightly in favor for New Zealand. Indian team also has not been invincible in this tournament. They lose to England before wining over a weak team of Sri Lanka. The chances of happening something in favor of New Zealand is very low because their batting line up is poor. If India bat first and somehow can score 270+, India will easily win the match because their bowling line up is great. That may be true. But there is no denying that the team batting first so far had a big advantage in this tournament. If India bats first, then they'll be able to score more than 300-320 and restrict NZ to less than 250. However, things may get unpredictable in case NZ wins the toss and elects to bat first. They can put India under a lot of pressure in case they manage to score above 300. |
