Our team looks strong but considering our recent records in the ICC tournament, i doubt if we are going to win the finals after all we are new chokers ladies lol
The team looks really strong but Shikhar Dhawan who looked good missed out and Sanju Samson missed the squad and it was obvious because he was not consistent whenever he got the opportunity. Since the match is taking place in UAE we can expect two spinners in the team, Ravindra Jadeja will be the one spinners but Axar Patel and Ashwin will fill the second slot and Varun Chakravarthy is the other spinner and i am not sure whether he will get a spot.

When it comes to fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a sure shot and Mohammad Shami will be the third bowler and the selection depends upon the ground in which they are playing.

India have a great chance at creating records if they somehow manage to win the final test. Bumrah will be rested and Rahane might be replaced by Vihari or Yadav(I would choose Vihari personally).
India already created history in this series by winning in Lord's and The Oval and if there was no rain interruption in the first Test match i am certain that India would have won that match as well. Ajinkya Rahane should be rested as he is low in confidence and not scoring runs and i would like to see Suryakumar Yadav making his debut. Jasprit Bumrah is the main bowler and i do not think he will be rested unless he is injured.

Today marked the history of Bitcoin becoming a legal tender, El Salvador a country in north-central America has become the first country to approve the operation and acceptance of Bitcoin as a legal currency.
This is certainly a good news from the BTCitcoin community when we were dreaming about owning a island to start using BTCitcoin during the initial months to a country calling BTCitcoin as an official currency feels and looks good.

The government wallet App chivowallet got overloaded in the early hours, which resulted in it going offline citizens are having miss feeling about the stability of the app and the El Salvador economy.
The critic i have for the El Salvador government is that they are implementing everything within a short period of time which will cause issues and the launch itself is facing issue with the network stability to handle the traffic. They should have taken proper precautions before launching everything rather than looking for the headlines Cheesy.

I'm sorry to say but Oscar de la Hoya can't compete because he contracted covid - https://edition.cnn.com/2021/09/03/us/oscar-de-la-hoya-covid-spt-intl/index.html. So instead of him Belfort will fight Evander Holyfield.
That is a huge change in the fight experience i was expecting. Oscar De La Hoya returning at 48 and Vitor Belfort at 44 years was interesting but Evander Holyfield is a legend of the sport but 58 years of age. I am still expecting Evander Holyfield to win the fight because of his boxing skills but i am not sure about his conditioning.

Now, with Silva vs. Ortiz, Silva I believe has the upper hand here as he has boxing experience. But no odds yet for this match.
Silva is the superior fight, as i said earlier in this thread Anderson silva will beat Tito Ortiz in any competitive sport, be it MMA, BJJ or Boxing on the wrestling front Tito Ortiz might have an advantage but the rest Anderson Silva is far far superior.
1906  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I guess personal wallets are a thing of the past now. on: September 05, 2021, 08:20:06 PM
I was just going through my appdata on my old comp (been in the shed for 4 years) and boy I used to run a lot of wallets on it.
Not sure what all coins you invested or collected to have a ton of wallets. I have a hardware wallet and that can handle most and i have a backup wallet as well. Other than Bitcoin which i usually use i do not store the rest elsewhere.

And guess how many I have on my new comp = zero
So I started looking around the forum and can't really find a single wallet I can download onto my comp, add a few coins and start staking.
Amazing how fast it has all moved on in just a couple of years.
It depends upon what all projects you are interested. If you are just using tokens that are build on ERC 20 or BEP 20 then all you need is Metamask, Trustwallet to connect to start staking and there are other wallets like Portis, Fortmatic, authereum and Frame and i know some might have technical issues with certain tokens but Metamask and Trustwallet is more than enough to connect to every project.
1907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: September 05, 2021, 07:11:35 PM
The positive aspect for England is that they did not loose wickets and in the final day they have 90 overs to bat and the target to get is 291 runs which is a perfect scenario for them. India will be missing Ashwin as the pitch is turning and Jadeja was not able to bowl a consistent line and length and India needs to pick wickets somehow to put pressure on England.

The excuse being given is that they wanted to give chances to a few youngsters before the squad for T20 world cup is announced. But if backfired on them. There is no issue in giving chances to younger players, but that doesn't mean that they should be used as cannon fodder.
Giving opportunities for youngsters is well and good but first they need to give the platform to perform in their home ground and not sending them to spin friendly tracks and hamper their confidence.


One thing that surprises me is that hardly any of the visiting teams are playing warmup matches nowadays. Is this due to COVID restrictions? It takes some time for the players to get adjusted to the conditions, and for that warmup matches are required.
The big players are opting out of touring some countries is because of the strict protocol they need to follow and it is not easy for the board to conduct warm up matches in these scenario.


Bangladesh got a taste of their own medicine for preparing spin friendly wickets when New Zealand had two spinners in their playing eleven and they took majority of the wickets  Cheesy. New Zealand set a moderate target and Bangladesh struggled against New Zealand spinners, this is what we call a turn around  Cheesy .
1909  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can Ethereum reach 10k? on: September 05, 2021, 04:23:19 PM
Can Ethereum really reach 10k?
And if yes, when can it reach 10k?
Ethereum is at 4k currently.
Do you have a timeline when all the upgrades in Ethereum completes, it will take a long time as there are a series of upgrades that are to be implemented and en route you might find major bugs as well. So it is hard to speculate when Serenity will be completed. Users are tired of paying huge amounts as transaction fees. Have you tried staking any coins that runs on ERC, the fees will be above $35 and hence many projects are migrating to other chains as well which means more competition for Ethereum when all the upgrades are completed.

Will BNB be worth $1,000?
The value of BTC and ETH is determined by consensus.
The value of BNB is determined by the credit of CZ, but it is threatened by regulatory policies. If Binance goes public, the value of BNB will rise or fall, I think the value will fall because the value of BNB will be decoupled from Binance’s profit .what do you think?
Do you really think that Binance goes public, even if it goes in which country as it is registered in Seychelles and from the countries they got legal notification all they did was to shut their offices and migrate to another country and with that being their modus operandi what should we expect from him. I do not think they will comply to regulators as they will be forced to audit all their transactions and they wont be willing to do so Tongue.
1911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: September 05, 2021, 12:35:28 PM
Virat Kohli - 44
Ravindra Jadeja - 16
Ajinkiya Rahane - 0
Now Rishab Pant and Shardul Tagore are batting. I had high expectations from Rahane and Kohli. But they are disappointed. If India lose all their wickets by less than 400 runs, they will not be able to win the match. Even less likely to draw.
Ajinkya Rahane is not in form for a long time and i expected him to be replaced by some young talents in the side and i am surprised he got selected once again despite his terrible form and now this should be a coffin to his Test match career and he should be replaced by someone young.

Shardul Thakur looks good in the crease and he is batting well and Rishabh Pant should bat for a longer period to save the match, if not batting in the last day is easier in Oval and anything below 300 England will try to get them.

And that's why they're trying to upgrade their product and trying to enter to a market which probably where they really are belong. That's why they have to do something to keep up with their losses.
They're willing to reinvest a huge amount to make it happen and we don't know if the result of it will be embraced positively not only by their followers but every gambler that know about them.
ESPN literally controls world sports as they have the broadcasting rights to every sporting events and they are a huge monopoly as they already killed their competition and purchasing their competitors as far as i know and now i thought they are planning to diversify. From what i understand from the article i am not sure they are entering the gambling space or they are planning to lease out their brand image to gambling sites and planning to earn money that way.

Digital currency wouldnt really talks about cryptocurrency but rather it would be still on digital fiat which isnt talking about crypto thats why i dont really see this to be revolutionary.
yes, digital currencies can be anything, from government digital fiat currency in a blockchain, which we should expect in the near future and i am expecting some governments coming out with their version of stable currencies. Whatever be the situation things are really exciting as the possibilities are limitless.

We are going through cashless society anytime soon as we go ahead in future years to come and fiat or paper ones would be somewhat be replaced but it would still takes time considering on how useful it is in terms of
non online payments or transactions.
The market is more over moving to a cashless society with different application allowing us to make transactions but for it to become a complete cashless society it would take decades.

Cryptocurrencies is totally different into those centralize digital currencies.
Everything can be a cryptocurrency if they are secured by cryptography, the only difference will be centralized and decentralized.
1914  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Kid already making $32k monthly through ethtereum on: September 04, 2021, 10:40:36 PM
Looks like a good click bait. They started mining Ethereum this march with their gaming computer and they were able to mine Ethereum and made enough money to set up a huge farm in a short period of time. It is too good to be true, they knew that home gaming computer could mine Ethereum but no one other than them had no idea  Cheesy Tongue.
Nowadays, kids are smarter than old generations so they will keep tracking the technological updates better than us. I am not surprised when the wunderkinds gonna mine the coins with the investing in graphics card. The video card boom was expected and kids should prefer mining to play computer games, IMHO.
Now a days kids are growing along with technology, i am from a generation which saw some major shift in technology from landline connection to pager and mobile technology and along with it the growth of the internet and the late boom and lately the cryptocurrency market. So kids now are growing up with technology and it would be easier for them to grasp things.

Good to see South Africa bounce back in the second ODI and won the match even though they revised the target there is no way Sri Lanka is going to win with the initial target let alone chasing the score at a huge run rate and hence they crumbled under pressure. The them of the tournament is anyone batting first has the advantage and batting second is a difficult task because the team chasing lost the first two matches.

And how much of the wording in that was deliberately chosen to mirror the kinds of things we say about Bitcoin?  It feels very much like a pre-emptive first strike on their part, possibly demonstrating some insecurities about the threat their business model now faces.

Anyone else get the sense they had crypto in mind when they wrote the script for it?
Sure Visa will be having cryptocurrency in mind when they wrote the script, if you are not aware of it Visa already started payment settlement with cryptocurrency, prior it used to convert them to fiat and now using USDC for settlement. Binance is offering Visa debit cards without any processing fees and so is the case with Crypto.com and Coinbase while Gemini is using the service of Mastercard.

If India can collect more than 400 runs then they can win the match. Today is the third day of the game. There are still 2 days left. I hope we will see the result of this match. I don't see the possibility of a draw. If India can collect more than 400, they have a chance to win. Otherwise, they will be defeated.
I was actually surprised to see the scoreboard of 236 for 1 and now India lost a couple of quick wickets as Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara are back in the pavilion and it is the turn of Virat Kohli to perform and i am yet again surprised to see Ravindra Jadeja to come out to bat before Ajinkya Rahane. India need another big partnership to be back in the game as India is leading by just 139 runs and they need to add around 200 runs to be on the safe side.

By the time all the bitcoins are mined, which is going to be a very long time, there will be a solution to how miners are going to profit from the market. And by the way, by then there will be lots of transactions on the blockchain, and maybe the mining wouldn’t be as difficult and energy-wasting as it is now.
The concept was when all the coins are mined the miners would sustain with the transaction charges alone and the logic is bigger blocks to include more transactions so that the miners will have a fair share of the revenue. The difficulty in mining is a good aspect because it determines the strength of the network, but i still cannot understand what is the energy wastage because when you are powering a decentralized economy you need to spend energy to maintain the network and you cannot call them wastage. It is like asking the baking sector to shut down half of their branches to save electricity Tongue.

~
With all the current calculations, you must not forget when you want to sell the coins. Many calculate the values based on current rates, but few really sell directly after mining. Some trade, the others hodln and others invest in more hardware. Important are the costs for hardware, electricity and storage. This question will continue to ask many, the goal of the coins is hodln and use at the best possible price.
BTCitcoin is meant to be transacted and not hold till eternity. It is a game theory where the miners are spending money to maintain their farm and they cannot hold all the coin and they will be forced to circulate the coins in the market to maintain them unlike POS coins where you stake the coins and when you think you want to book your profit you can move on with the investment to other pastures.

3 days left in the match and India is still trailing by 56 runs and the openers are still in the crease, how long India is able to bat determines the match.
The openers are the only hope, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul should bat for a much longer period of time, i am not confident of the middle order as they always fail and Virat Kohli is also not in the best of form, if he reaches a half century that would be great and Rahane is struggling throughout the series and i am not expecting much from him either. Pujara showed some signs of recovering his rhythm and lets see how he is going to perform.

From this position i expect England to win the match easily.

As the title say? Could it by possible?
Wait for someone like Elon Musk who has the influence and social media following to promote and make an impact in the market. I never expected Dogecoin to rally because of the unlimited coins in existence and when Elon Musk started promoting them, no one cared about the technical aspects and all they wanted is to jump into the ship and make the necessary profit.

That being the situation, i am not saying never in the cryptocurrency space but it is highly unlikely we would any massive rally once again.
