With India winning the first two matches, the betting sites gave India @ 1.61 and Australia @ 2.24 with India as the favorite team in the third match, but today's match score is completely in Australia's favor as Australia are batting brilliantly from the start, resulting in Australia 350 runs May collect above. If Australia does not perform bad fielding like in the second match, then there will definitely be a chance for Australia to win today's match. However, India can bat aggressively in today's match due to the pitch being a batting pitch. So for now it is not possible to say in advance which team will win.


The Indian team has performed beyond the expectations of every Indian cricket fan. They have proved that a second-string team can do wonders but, today seems different as the pitch was not suitable for bowlers. Australia has given a target of 352 runs to chance, knowing the oldies who would be the opening pairs I feel they would succumb to the pressure of chasing the target. There are multiple possibilities like Kohli and Rohit giving India a good start or they both fail. The pressure would then fall on the seasoned new comers like Rahul, Iyer and SKY. Today we will certainly know how good are Rohit and Kohli in a pressure game before the World Cup.

What's really happening to Bitcoin is that it could reach a point where miners find it not viable to mine and it will make some of them to switch off their machine, as it is many have already done so. Some people keep screaming out their neck that Bitcoin is finished because of the current price which has been roaming around $26k for some time now and is not going up anytime soon, but I'll say that's never the the case, now is a good time to consider a long term investment. Let's forget the noise people are making out there, those who bought at high price or those who sold due to panicking/fear, the thing is if you understand the technology you would know that the next bull is coming and now is a great time to think about jumping in the market.

The title does not match what's written above, are your thoughts about miners leaving or consoling everyone? The first part is all about miners not being able to make a living if the price remains stagnant. To answer that I would say, please wait till halving and then get ready for the bull run. The second half is a combination of FOMO and weak hands, which everyone knows, does not make any sense to discuss it once again. I am sorry to say but creating such topics does not add any value to the forum. They will not help you in growing up the ranks if you are here to become a part of signature campaigns.

If there is a security concern from the local government then BCCI cannot do anything. Telangana is not a state where BJP rules, the state ruling party is part of the I.N.D.I.A. alliance. The opposition has been aggressive in disrupting any events that are being hosted in India. I feel this decision to hold the match closed doors is another way to sabotage the impression of India and BCCI. We can still watch the match on TV and OTT platforms, it is only a practice match.

India VS Pakistan

Australia is in full control at the moment, the current run rate is above 7, which means we can expect a big score on the scoreboard. Today, we would see Rohit and Kohli opening the Indian batting, if they fail to give a big start then India would be in trouble. Both of them have to prove themselves to be worthy of being part of the World Cup squad. They can no longer hide at the back of performing youngsters in the Indian team.

India giving threats to all teams by his recent performance before the World Cup. Australia in the t20i series in 2021 Lost the 5match series against New Zealand (3-2) and also lost the 5match series against Bangladesh (4-1). but then ended up winning World Cup 21. Now Australia has Lost two consecutive ODI series just before the World Cup, one against SA  and one against India (2-0) and third match played tomorrow. That's why the Asian team will be scared of Australia. I think Australia will strongly come back in the last ODI match and will win the match.


The Indian team does not pose a threat to any other team for now. These are all practice matches, it would be very different when they play in the World Cup. I do agree that they have been playing really well, every player has out-performed which I think is a good sign. That does not equate to what this team would carry out in the same manner in the World Cup. There may be situations when the batters or bowlers fail, and there might be a situation when the players might get injured. Assuming that India can win the cup is baseless for now, we can surely claim that they are one of the favorites.

I believe that apart from India, South Africa, and England are good to win this cup. South Africa has proven that they cannot be underestimated after their bilateral series with the Australian side. England has already proven that they are the best in other formats of cricket. I feel England, South Africa, and India are the best teams to fight for the trophy.

Everyone has Spotify installed on their mobile phone, if it is not Spotify then you would have a local app for streaming music on the go. None would pay you to listen to songs, like, comment, and dislike the song on their platform. They would charge you a monthly or yearly subscription amount to use their platform.

With Web3 applications coming out daily, there was void space in the music streaming and engagement sector. Clousound noticed this problem and found an opportunity to create a rewarding platform that incentivizes its users. Using the BNB Smart Chain every active user would be paid a fixed amount of $CLS token for listening to songs, liking, commenting, disliking, and much more.

The feature that made me write about them was when I found out on earn $CLS link that, anyone can earn their token by uploading any song without worrying about copyright issues. Meta and its products have been doing it for some time, I am assuming that they are following the same terms.

The total supply of Clousound tokens goes down with each transaction, making it deflationary. I think it is an interesting project which I believe is unique, that is the reason for me sharing about this project here.

I am not shilling or promoting this project, I am not part of the team. I felt the project was unique, not sure if other projects have been already discussed here.

Where is $CLS being traded?

You can trade $CLS on PancakeSwap using the contract address 0xf848110edfF52f506CB0F256cbB641B5Ef9c9c2d.

Do you guarantee the project won't quit?

I do not guarantee anything. You have to make your own decision.

Future of this application

I also think that India team will win last match of this ODI series. In the previous two matches, India team has already winning two matches and in second match they completely show outclassed performance against Australia in terms of bowling, fielding and batting.

When we look at the overall performance in this series, it's been commendable. While India team depend on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to score centuries but in this series Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill have taken their place. Shubman Gill's batting performance has been outstanding in both matches and I hope that in this last ODI series match India team will perform as well as they did in the previous matches and win all three ODIs. Australia's team should learn their mistakes in previous matches and fix errors especially in their batting performance.

No doubt that the second string team under the captaincy of Rahul has surpassed everyone expectations. When the team was announced everyone was doubtful whether they will win one match. To everyone suprise they won both the matches and the series. Next match will be played by those players who are the ones that won the Asia Cup. They will be playing at their best and a 3-0 win can be expected from them.
1408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ICC WORLD CUP 2023 ACTUAL DISCUSSION THREAD! on: September 26, 2023, 09:28:47 AM
Every Indian player from Asia Cup to the current bilateral series has shown immense improvement in their performance. At the moment Rahul Dravid would be in such a situation that it will be hard to leave any player from the final playing 11. The fielding needs some improvement but that can be managed if batters do well. There are few batter that are eyeing the 4th,5th &6th position in the batting line-up. I meas Rahul, SKY, Iyer & Kishan all of them have batted extremely well.

Suryakumar Yadav may still not get the nod. He has a reputation of being very good in the T20 format, while being quite ordinary in ODIs. Despite his previous track record, he has been included in the Indian squad for the ODI World Cup (and Sanju Samson fans were up in arms when they heard about it). But I guess he may not get too many chances, as Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul are in good form. Only in case any of them get injured, he has a chance of getting included in the playing XI.

There is too much confusion to choose from the named lot as to who will be the part of playing 11. SKY is aggressive and can come in the end, increase the current run rate, job done. KL Rahul is good as a wicket-keeper and shows a good temperament with spinners, he is in excellent form with the bat. Shreyas Iyer is another batter who is aggressive with the bat. Ishan Kishan is the backup WC, aggressive with the bat. You are right SKY does not hold a good chance of being part of the playing 11. Everything now depends on the coach, captain, and team management and in all probabilities, the team that played the finals of the Asia Cup would be the playing 11.

FYI!

The article talks about permissionless blockchain.

Quote
If permissionless blockchains are to become the backbone of our online experiences, three major changes need to happen:

They need to be free.
They need to be frictionless.
They need to be familiar.

Why is everyone, who replied referring to a private blockchain? A permissionless blockchain is what Bitcoin is, as it allows open participation, is censorship-resistant, has decentralized consensus models minimizes trust requirements, and it can go on. What OP wants to do is compare Bitcoin with Ethereum in this permissionless blockchain model. I think that is what we are discussing in this thread.

Pakistan got a blow just before the start of ODI world cup as Naseem Shah got injured. Hassan Ali was included in place of injured Naseem Shah. Pakistan bowling is stable but its there batting that is inconsistent and not performing. We saw in Asia Cup Pakistan batters failing miserably throughout. Pakistan batting is heavily relying on Babar Azam and if Babar fails to deliver the rest of batters also fail to deliver.

Babar Azam is the key to Pakistan batting there is no doubt about it. The opening pair is not reliable, I accept it. Still, Pakistan has a good middle order, Rizwan and Iftikar can create havoc. What they lack is consistent performance, they both tend to forget sometime that they can rotate runs. What I have seen is that they both have a habit to go after the bowlers. They don't rely on singles or doubles, they only rely on big hits, which causes them to lose their wickets.

I might be wrong in judging them as I am not an expert. I still think rather than the batting, bowling is a concern for Pakistan. It is a possibility that the new bowlers might be far better than those who have experience in bowling for Pakistan.
1411  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN HALVING COUNTDOWN IS ON – WILL CRYPTO PRICES RISE? on: September 25, 2023, 09:08:47 AM
It's merely speculation, and there's no way to ascertain its accuracy for certain. The halving event does indeed occur in four-year cycles, but this cyclicality makes the market exceptionally predictable to the general public. Do we all believe that the market will move in accordance with the majority's predictions? After all, those with the greater potential to influence prices are the whales, and that is truly beyond the interests of the public hoping for a post-halving price surge.

Let's just wait and see what will actually transpire in 2025.

After the last three halvings of Bitcoin, the bull market kicked in after a year or so from halving. Bitcoin's bull run has never been the same since 2011, there is indeed no probable way to ascertain that the bull run would happen after halving. If history repeats itself then it might happen by 2025, If not then it can happen before 2024 halving, that is a possibility. The market movement depends on many factors and one of the big ones is halving, hopes is what keeps the market alive.

A few days are left for the ICC WORLD CUP 2023. Warm-up matches will start on 29th September 2023. The first warm-up match will be between Pakistan vs New Zealand. Both teams are good + amazing.

Yes, everyone is waiting to see how the Pakistan team performs against New Zealand. The New Zealand team is playing a bilateral series against Bangladesh now. They are leading the series, which can change as Bangladesh is playing in their home ground. The warm-up match between Pakistan and New Zealand would be played in India, it would be a different scenario for both the teams. I am eager to watch how Pakistan's new bowling attack looks with the inclusion of new bowlers in the team.

Everything is lining up for India before the World Cup, there is no major injury concerns, everyone is back in form and even the second string side could win the World cup with the way things are shaping up for India, Suryakumar Yadav, Ruturaj Gaikwad or even KL Rahul might not get a spot in the playing eleven during the World Cup and Mohammed Shami might be the back up bowler if Mohammed Siraj or Jasprit Bumrah gets injured Shocked.

Last two games against Australia, SKY has performed way better then what he was earlier in the one day format. Yesterday he was at his best , he destroyed Green with his 4 sixes in one over. I do not think he would excluded from the playing 11 in the world cup. He is known to change the outcome of any match with his aggressive batting. Rahul Dravid would be facing real issue to decide who has to be in the team and who has to be in the bench.

India against Australia

Rain delay again! This time around rain delay is natural weather condition. Why rain is bothering now in central part of India is not usual. If DLS comes into action it would not help Australia considering the present run rate and the expected run rate.

Australia has already lost 2 wickets in short span of over. They would want this rain to continue to save thier face. It would be a disaster for the Indian batters if the game gets abandoned due to the rain. Sometimes a game of cricket is controlled by such issues.

everyone on twitter, insta reel and youtube is making prediction related to different cryptos based on chart lines. Do you still believe these chart reading?

If you are referring to Bitcoin then it is not that easy. Just by reading the charts it won't be easy to predict Bitcoin. News is another aspect to consider to determine the hype. I haven't seen anyone being able to closely forecast Bitcoin price and how it will react.

If you are a shit coin trader, Twitter is the place where you need to be. Follow a few market influencers such as Elon Musk and you might be able to make profits. No, guarantee whether your investment would reach the moon, you can lose everything you invest.
1416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ICC WORLD CUP 2023 ACTUAL DISCUSSION THREAD! on: September 24, 2023, 11:14:51 AM
It seem the way both Gill and Iyer are batting today. India might score more that 300 runs for Australia as a target. The current run rate is above 7.5 and I expect it to go above 8 after these two score their individual centuries. Again an excellent batting by Shubhman Gill, he has bee consistent with his bat. After this match he might become the number one batter in ODI format. It would be a great achievement by this young guys in his career.

Both batters reached their 100s in this match, 5 centuries by Gill this year. Iyer was struggling due to a cramp, managed to get his hundred but got out after it. The game is controlled by the Indian batters, Australian bowlers are looking helpless. In all cases, if nothing goes wrong India will give Australia a big target to chase. I do not think it will be easy for them to chase a big target considering the bowling attack India has against them. Shubhman Gill should try to play till the end of this match, if he does then he can get a double century.
1417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ICC WORLD CUP 2023 ACTUAL DISCUSSION THREAD! on: September 23, 2023, 01:23:52 PM
As per the ICC Men's team ranking, India has become the number 1 team in all cricket format. Earlier they were ranking 2nd in ODI

Only the second team to achieve this feat, which is nice but might change in the next 2 matches because Aussies are fierce opponents.

PS : Only Test ranking matters in cricket. T-20/ODI rankings are jokes.

ODI & T20 rankings are still important as they reflect a team's performance. I admit that I am not that great at judging the reason for your reply, what I understand is simple, playing nation in test format is saturated. When you check the number of teams in those formats it is big, and it will become bigger in the T20 format considering the popularity of this format. Only hardcore cricket fans like yourself would be enjoying test cricket while the world gets crazy about T20.

I would say that the Indian team has gained a major psychological advancement before the World Cup. Cricket has been a game of mind and skills, you cannot deny how it affects the mind of an Indian fan when India plays against Pakistan. Some of what same mind influence happens when players play against each other, one of the best examples is Kohli and how he has been playing this mind game so effectively.
1418  Other / Meta / Re: Request for sent merit edit button on: September 23, 2023, 01:03:00 PM
My reason for this post is shouldn’t we have something like a second warning when the confirm button is clicked, like ’are you sure you want to send this amount to so so’


I believe what you said that from 2 to 22 sMerits was an accident, such an error can happen to anyone. While being in this forum for a few months now, I haven't seen anyone creating a post. Such issues on the forum happen rarely, it is not common to see some of the legendary members distributing a big chunk of sMerits. I cannot go and find those users now, nor do I think it is good to post links to such posts.

Coming back to your question about whether a patch can be added or the admin can agree with that patch. The question from me to you is why? We are already using outdated forum software, the admin is least interested in upgrading it. I doubt your request would be accepted, it would be wise on your part to not commit such a mistake in the future.


It's really an accident or intentional? Roll Eyes

I was planning to ask the same question, let's assume it was accidental and give him the benefit of the doubt Grin.
1419  Local / India / Re: ZebPay Teams Up with Brave to Offer Rewards Program to Users in India on: September 23, 2023, 12:40:47 PM
How will it really help Zebpay? First they need to revamp their exchange in India which also is not at all profitable considering that Indian market is too dry to actually catch some great profits.

Also, I think BAT rewards aren't profitable at all these days, especially with the price of each token down to just $0.18, even if you are able to collect 6-7 BATs after each month of surfing and browsing it generally translates to nothing, earlier when the price was high it could still mean some good 1-2k INR for you for free each month, also yes the KYC problem.


I cannot say how it will benefit Zebpay as I do not know anything about this exchange. I can confirm that this might be a strategy to add those users to the exchange userbase who were once earning a good amount every month using BAT tokens. They promote their browser using the incentive plan for those who use it for surfing. Other browsers do not offer such incentives, that is one hell of a marketing strategy.

Yes, you are correct BAT rewards are not profitable anymore. I went and checked the charts, and what I found is that the price of 1 BAT token reached its ATH in 2021 which was $1.45. It was the same time when Bitcoin was pumping resulting in multiple ATHs for Bitcoin. If someone still holds those monthly tokens to date they would get a good ROI when the next bull run starts.

snip~~
CBC broke this story and it's basically the mouthpiece of the Canadian government-funded news outlet (69% gov funded lol hinting at Funny incident)  so it's obviously leaked by gov.

Everyone spies on each other, including friends (We also do this) but no one speaks about it publicly because it has severe repercussions, hence the leak via media and there is no doubt that this -alleged- intel (if there is any) came from the five eyes, basically the USA but I won't count the UK as well. Don't look at this gameplay as some economic POV only, it's just one of the many factors.

Trudeau digging a hole and so far no one is willing to pull him up but again Canada is the USA's neighbor and founder of the Anglosphere intelligence alliance (Five Eyes) so you never know. If there is any intel (which is a possibility) then USA has to make a decision if they want to release the tapes etc or not and more importantly at what cost? If they do release it then it will backfire on India-USA relations and it is not good for Indo-Pacific strategy. Both the parties Delhi and DC, mainly the latter party invested heavily in this relationship due to new geo-political realities.



My question is to both of you, assuming that India did kill those guys and the named one on Canadian soil. Why cannot India openly admit that they were killed by Indian agents? If America can do and Israel can do why not we? If India does admit then what will be the repercussions?

We know that the West cannot ignore India anymore as they need India against China. Then they do need the growing Indian market which has a big potential for economic benefits. The amount of investment happening in India has led India to become the 5th largest economy. While Canada sits in the 9th position, the West can ignore Canada whereas they cannot ignore India. This is my reasoning for India to accept if it has used its agents to do those tasks in Canada.
