1501  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best stable coin when selling crypto? on: March 13, 2021, 12:22:09 PM
USDT or BUSD? I never really sold and withdrew any crypto before. Just wondering what most people do on here when selling and tranfering to their bank accounts.
I will not trust holding USDT for a long period of time, usually what i do is if i book my profit in some of the alts i am holding and if i am planning to switch over to another coin in a short period of time then i might use USDT because of the huge volume in an exchange but if i am holding the coin for a longer period then i will look for another stable coin and BUSD is not bad since it is from Binance and i usually store in Euro.

Another all time high with the price reaching around $59,900 and i have no expectation how long this rally will last as i have already booked some profit and now i am waiting for a few months to see how long this rally will last and then take a position on booking my entire profit rather than a valuation in mind as these are uncharted territories and i have placed a stop loss in case the market goes below $40k.
1503  Economy / Speculation / Re: Elon Musk and BTC on: March 11, 2021, 08:49:42 PM
this is the important part that some people don't seem to get yet. it is not surprising either we had the same thing back in early 2017 when price had reached $3k for the first time and they were all crying about how bull market has ended and the dump should begin.
That is true but the price difference from $3k to $19k was a huge rally but when it comes to the valuation at the moment people like me who earns below what the price of bitcoin is right now annually cannot make a difference along with millions of other middle class investors and the price of bitcoin depends upon how the institutional investors keeps on investing in them and how long they are willing to take the risk.
1504  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is ETH overpriced? on: March 11, 2021, 06:01:37 PM
The expectation that ethereum will hit $100k is pretty scary because you said that eth is only about 10 times smaller than bitcoin, if it hits the mark you said, bitcoin will hit a million dollars, I can hardly believe this imagination, Bitcoin has created enough problems in the market, one more ethereum can do the same thing, I think investors can hardly calm down in this market.
You do not need to be scared as the price of ETH will never hit those valuations but the idea of bitcoin hitting a million dollars is a bit scary when i think what kind of transaction fees i need to shell out when it hits those valuation and i want to use bitcoin rather than as a store of value without any use case Cheesy.


However, you are still correct about the $5000 milestone because of the most recent information from the ethereum development team, they will scale the ethereum network during the ethereum 2.0 upgrade.
We are hearing about this scaling drama for over a year and last year they proposed that they are upgrading and still i have not seen any changes in the fees and when do you think that it takes place so that we could start sending ETH at a much lower transaction fees.
1505  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will NFT bring any change in crypto gambling industry? on: March 11, 2021, 02:11:55 PM
Now from where I see, NFT has a very good potential to be used in MMORPG games and fantasy sports segment. Even big developers like UBISoft has shown interest in NFT. Since NFT concept is very new we still have many unexplored areas of application.

Do you think NFT concept will be used in crypto gambling industry in near future? What change it will bring into this industry? Let's discuss!
May be the gaming industry might adopt the concept, when i first heard about it i had no idea about how successful it could be and how long we will see that succeed as i have my doubts in the entire digital arts concept and how it can be valuable but then there are games that allows you to trade like Entropia and the NFT concept is prime for games like that and we might see a revolution.

Another reason might be the vaccine, but there are news report which confirms people are still getting COVID19 after completing the vaccination.
There are many conflicting reports, some had adverse affect when they had the vaccine and went into comma and it is a truth that even with vaccination you will be infected but the doubt everyone in the medical fraternity is having is whether the vaccines are successful against the different strains of virus that are seeing around the world and the virus is mutating faster than expected. I am yet to get vaccination as i am not sure whether it will harm me or help me in countering the issues and the only way is taking precaution and not get infected.

Every sporting teams are careful and knows the impact and hence they are making sure they create a bubble while conducting the tournament as any positive exposure means heavy losses and even bankruptcy if the tournaments are postponed.
1507  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it safe to invest in BNB now? on: March 10, 2021, 11:19:18 PM
The increase in the value of BNB depends primarily on the support and goals of CZ and Binance in relation to this coin. And given the ever-increasing role of BNB in the Binance Smart Chain, we can assume that in the future the price of the coin will increase. I can't predict the maximum price of BNB, but I think that the price should be more than $1000.
They are able to attract developers to use their Binance Smart Chain because of the increase network congestion of ETH and if you think that BSC is the solution then we should see a massive correction in ETH before the price of BNB reaches a thousand dollars. It is crazy to think that the price has rallied from below $20 to over $200 in a matter of days and you think the price should be above $1000 by the end of this rally ?.

Jadeja is important for sure because he is better fielder and can be considered as best in the world right now and also he can bowl along with his handy knocks and Sundar should be the second option if they want to go with the 2 spinners because he is looking more like a regular batsman with the way he is batting and his first class batting also impressive. As you mentioned Ashwin is having difficulties on batting apart from subcontinent conditions so he is likely to be dropped but wait we have IPL in the middle so selectors will pick depending on the IPl performances as well even it is not supposed to be like that.
Ashwin is the first spinner for India and he has established his place in the side and if India is placing in a seaming track and if they go with only one spinner Ashwin will be the first choice spinner and he is a main bowler who is currently in form and picked over 400 wickets and he is a difficult bowler to face in any track and Ashwin showed his batting skills in the recent two series, so you cannot say that he is struggling because he was instrumental in drawing a match in Australia recently.
1509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: March 08, 2021, 11:56:47 PM
It was a big mistake from russian fighter who was winning the fight, but in the end bookies and Sterling profited most, with acting performance of the night  Cheesy
I expect to see this fight repeated again and Sterling losing for real this time.
Petr Yan will be back stronger and it looks like he made a genuine mistake as he was winning the fight and it happened because of miscommunication either from his corner or from the referee and Aljamain Sterling has every right to stay down and win the belt, Anthony Smith should have done the same in the fight against Jon Jones and if he did that he would have been the champion and now look at his position in the division after that.

Main event showed one more bad judging, however Blachowicz clearly won last round that kept his belt, but he showed many holes in his game and one of them being his cardio because he was bearly breathing after 4th round.
Time for Adesanya to come down on earth and lower his ego expectations.
I was worried when Blachowicz was struggling with his breathing  Cheesy. All credits goes to Adesanya with all the faints Blachowicz was biting with everything and it will drain you out and somehow he was able to implement his game plan and took the fight to the ground, if not Adesanya would have won the fight if Blachowicz failed to take the fight to the ground.

Do you mean to say that we are about to face another wave of covid-19 which may result in total lockdown as it happened in last year  Huh

I thought the situation is coming back to normal and every passing day is better than the past.
It is hard to predict what the future holds, we never thought we would close down the entire country last year which includes businesses and factories and there are new strains of the virus. There are vaccines but we have no idea about the effectiveness to the new strains and the long term side affects and if situation needs to be controlled we might see further restrictions.
1511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC 259 - Predictions & discussion to matches w/odds added from different source on: March 08, 2021, 10:52:00 PM
In striking, Weight is an advantage but this is UFC which means any martial arts can be used so its pointless if you have the striking power while you can't land it properly to your opponent. Adasenya is very good in anticipating his opponents move that's why he is always 1 step ahead on his opponent. We already saw that he beats a monster powerful striker like Costa before.
In striking speed is the needed advantage and the reason Israel Adesanya did not plan on bulking his body to move in division is because he thought he needs to fight in his normal weight class and putting weight will slow him down and then his entire plan was to continue to defend his belt in the Middle Weight division but that is a negative if a heavier fighter takes you down because he has all the size advantage.

Would have to agree with you there. This so called experiment in advancing in a weightclass so fast caused him a failure at launch to happen in this fight
Maybe he should be looking for a comeback with a rematch with Robert Whittaker instead. Undecided
Israel Adesanya did not put in extra weight to move up in division, he did not cut any weight and even though moved up to fight in a bigger weight division he was fighting well below the weight limit.


Here is a good video from the same interviewer (celebrity gamerz) about where Israel got his fighting style from (in video games Huh) and about fighting Jon Jones. But not anymore after this loss because there were some tweets saying Jones was laughing at him wanting to fight him now:
 
Jon Jones is a wrestler who happened to be the best fighters in MMA history period and Israel Adesanya will struggle on the ground but if it is a stand up bout without the MMA rules it is interesting.
1512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stake.com announces Israel Adesanya as their Global branded ambassador on: March 08, 2021, 08:22:47 PM
Unfortunately "our" Stake ambassador lost his first fight of this partnership, I don't really understand why Stake chose this guy actually, a lady like Amanda Nunes would have been a more original, modern (and smarter) choice IMHO.
You were a fan of Israel Adesanya and now you think that he is not the best ambassador, watch his old tapes and you will understand why you should like him as a fighter, his striking skills is above anyone else in his division and he is basically a striker without zero ground skills before debuting in MMA and you need to respect Jan Błachowicz who is a black belt in BJJ and has the wrestling pedigree along with his striking and his size advantage.
Israel Adesanya always liked to test his skills and he came up short in a higher weight division which is around 20 pounds higher than his division and that does to take away his greatness as a fighter in his division.


Before his first loss he was
-undefeated
-KO specialist
-has huge potential
He was undefeated in MMA and he liked the challenges, he has over 100 professional fights and you cannot say that he had the potential for someone who had over 100 fights, he is a talent and his only loss comes when he moves up in weight division, when he fights in his weight division there is no one to challenge him and he always demolishes his opponents and he will continue to do so until some contender pops up who has a wrestling background and i always thought that only Khamzat Chimaev posses a threat if he climbs the ladder and now he is not fighting anymore due to his corona complications he has not potential danger in his division.

I have watched the bout and this match reminded me of the first match of AJ and Andy Ruiz not because Jan Błachowicz is like Andy Ruiz but Adesanya surely is like Anthony Joshua during that match. He was like AJ in a way where he wasn't himself or you will see that he has no confidence during the match he simply wasn't in his game this time and I think that is one of the biggest reasons why he didn't pull out an amazing win.
You cannot compare this to AJ and Ruiz fight as Israel Adesanya was moving up in weight division and it is not like boxing where the upper weight division is a few pounds away, he was fighting a fighter who was clearly 20 pounds above his division and he was dominated in the ground game and with the weight difference he could dominate in the ground, in the stand up the fight was really close .

@ folks help me out in understand the teams, not watched a single match in ISL but since there is a thread and discussion going on i would like to know about the teams and i cannot find much information online as the names are not familiar, have seen odds but usually neglect as i have no idea about the tournament and the teams and how to watch them.
1514  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Indian Finance Minister on Cryptocoin. on: March 08, 2021, 04:38:43 PM
The Indian government is in final stages to submit the bill in the parliament and they are experimenting the usage of Cryptocurrencies in different ways.They have already praised the blockchain technology and are in favour of using it to develop its own digital coin by the RBI.
Just like other countries planning to implement their centralized digital currency on top of blockchain, i hope it wont be successful and will die off eventually just like petro issued by the Venezuela government.

Actually the government has not still not able to understood how they could regulate or use Bitcoin and other alts in efficient manner and they are in experimental talks with RBI to try to figure it out by making a committee for such decisions.But hope for the best because India is one of the leading market of crypto users.
This is a confusion every country has on how to regulate a decentralized currency and so is the reason it is taking this time time to come up with a regulation.
1515  Economy / Speculation / Re: what is correlation between bitcoin halving and bullrun on: March 08, 2021, 02:55:51 PM
Shower thought. Is it possible, that Satoshi created the most predictable “asset”? I have debated that the halving after the first and second is priced in, but we know that it wasn’t. When will be the next crash? I might debate that it is priced in again, but if proven wrong, then Satoshi truly has created the most predictable asset. Cool
It is predictable now but when Satoshi created bitcoin no one had a clue on what direction we will take and we hoped that it would catch up and we will see more adoption and merchants accepting the coin but Satoshi might not have anticipated that a heap of investors will flock and start investing billions and halving would become a predictable pump and dump event  Cheesy.
1516  Economy / Economics / Re: Central banks around the world want to get into digital currencies on: March 08, 2021, 12:14:04 PM
Intense interest in cryptocurrencies and the Covid-19 pandemic have sparked debate among central banks on whether they should issue digital currencies of their own.
The interest in cryptocurrencies by the central banks is because of the insane valuations these markets are gaining and it has nothing to do with the pandemic. We are hearing for a long time that we will see government minted digital currencies and we knew they will come up with their version of blockchain based currencies and expect that in the next 5 years.
1517  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why kids born in 2140 don`t get a chance to mine rewards? on: March 08, 2021, 10:10:53 AM
They will have other coins to mine, there are a lot of minable coins and will be even more
That is optimistic thinking, the truth is that the mining rewards were implemented by Satoshi to attract people to support the network and in the beginning there was no valuation and everyone mined to help the network and the general idea was that by 2140 the price of bitcoin will be much higher so that the miners could survive by the transaction charges.
1518  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How long will the SEC lawsuit against Ripple last? on: March 07, 2021, 10:16:56 PM
No one cares about it. The Xrp will not go up until this case gets resolved, this is a sure thing. It will take a long time to see an XRP price above $0.5.. Most likely the price will go under $0.2 and will stay at that support level until the feasible solution of the SEC problem.
I was also expecting the market to go down considerably and stay there until the situation is solved and these lawsuit take a long time to resolve but the market has surprised me when it started rally once in a while when the entire market goes up and even in the last week the price moved 10% and still it is valued around $0.4632 which is not bad considering their lawsuit with the SEC.
1519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC 259 - Predictions & discussion to matches w/odds added from different source on: March 07, 2021, 08:29:09 PM
~but I think Israel was clearly out of size here for some reason. He didn't seem to bother Blacho at all so no KO worry.
Israel Adesanya was confident in his striking and so he made his decision to move up without bulking up and he weighed in with his walk around weight and he underestimated when the fight went to the ground that will be a disadvantage and he paid the price. 

winner's quote on who's next: "I think [Teixeira] deserves it," Blachowicz said. "He'll have to wait a little bit, so I can rest and be with my family. But he will wait, he will be next."
Glover Teixeira is the next opponent for Jan Błachowicz as he was the back up fighter in this card if there was any change in the main event and age is running out for Glover Teixeira and it is time he gets his second title short in the UFC.

You put the bet on India or Bangladesh ? I think you have lost the bet if you placed bet on bangladesh.
India won this match pretty easily as both legends Virender Sehwag  and Sachin Tendulkar remain not out and easily chase this target of 109.
It was a silly mistake from my part as i was not able to watch the match but just the scoreboard and by looking at the start Bangladesh got i placed a bet on them to score over 114 run which i thought was not a big deal as they were cruising at over 7 runs per over without loosing a wicket when they crossed 50 runs and then all of a sudden they started loosing wickets.

~
If you are putting bets on old players and expect them to score over 114 it does have its risk and i saw the scoreboard and they started well but then they fell short and India cruised to victory without losing a wicket and their old master player Virender Sehwag demolished the Bangladesh bowlers and Sachin Tendulkar played a second fiddle and if you could place a bet on India you could have won  Tongue.
Yeah the young Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar was playing against the old generation of Bangladesh Tongue.

~
I just saw this tournaments of legends (Road Safety World Series) being played in India.  India, England, Sri Lanka, West Indies , South Africa and Bangladesh teams are part of this tournament but i wonder why Pakistan and Australia do not take part in this series ?
Pakistan and India are not playing due to political reason and Australia is not playing citing the pandemic.
