Without a doubt the win by Macedonia was not expected by anyone and it may be due to underestimating them. It is a fact that Italy is not known to score many goals but their advantage is always their defense and when that failed they lost the match. Italy made too many changes in the final minutes of the match and that may have cost them their chances of appearing in yet another World Cup but there is no way North Macedonia is going to defeat Portugal.

Binance have the capital to sponsor any major tournament and yet they are not doing those things and i am not sure about their advertising revenue. Sponsoring the FIFA World Cup is a huge deal and there are many countries that love the game and it is a truly global sport and it will put more reach to crypto.com than sponsoring anything else.

Personally i am yet to use the exchange but will try them out and see how their UI and performance.

I remember you created a list of trusted projects if i am not mistaken but then you did not update everything and there were even scams in those list you posted. The problem is that it is hard to monitor which ones are scams and which ones are legit when it comes to bounty and hence it stopped investing in projects even during the IDO as it is hard to trust them. Right now i would stay away from any new projects as everything is going down. Will wait for the market to stabilize before investing in alts.

The best is always to invest in the main projects as you will always recover even if the market goes down.

I think the UFC should implement the hydration test and if that happens most of the fighters will be forced to move up a weight division as they amount of weight some of the fighters are cutting is huge  .

Demetrious Johnson was not having any challengers in the UFC but now he is having some serious challenges, may be because he is slowing down because of his age as he is 35 years. The fight against Rodtang Jitmuangnon is a mixed rules fight right, first Muay Thai and then MMA. If DJ can survive the first rounds he will win the MMA bout with ease.

Even i pointed out these views here, these sort of the legal struggle going on globally and if countries are overcoming the sanctions with a decentralized currency, what will be the decisions they are going to make when they pass the law on cryptocurrencies and how they are going to handle them is a slippery slope situation. Hopefully we will not see any drastic measures being taken against the entire space.

Elon is a billionaire and he likes to play along with the trend and when he claims that he will hold for the long term, he made his profit for his entire company during the pandemic in the cryptocurrency market where he invested billions and then booking his profit in billions and now he is claiming that he is here for the long term. He might be here for the long term, but he will be booking his profit along the way  .

I am not debating about the popularity of these stable coins, especially USDT and BUSD, but i am not yet convinced with their transparency when it comes to escrowing the same amount of dollars in fiat before minting the tokens. It is hard to predict what the future holds for these stable coins but i will not trust them for the long haul but for the short term i am also using these trading pair and then move to fiat if holding for the long term.

It is not a secret that the implications of cryptocurrencies will be used to overcome regulations and restrictions and will be used for a global trade without restrictions and now that all the central banks and the government are aware of the untapped power of a decentralized currency, what do you think will be the implications in the long term when they are planning to regulate the entire cryptocurrency space.

I am not sure it is helping Ukraine like they wanted to. The war started a while back and i am surprised that it is still going on and the resilient of the people in Ukraine. But if Russia thinks that other countries are helping them then you might see an all out attack and there is no way Ukraine will be able to resist that and i doubt Nato or other forces will join Ukraine in fighting the Russians.

What do you mean by Russia replacing USD and using their Ruble. Do you mean for foreign transaction or as their reserve currency. I am confused with your statement. Their Ruble is going down in valuation and even before that they were hit by sanctions and other trade restrictions and they were struggling and these new restrictions will suffocate them for sure and how they are going to overcome these is a big question.

I do not invest in Bitcoin expecting other external factors as it is hard to understand how the market would behave during certain things, everyone is expecting inflation and how the market would be is still a mystery as some would book their profit in the cryptocurrency space to over come other loss and if that is the case the market would go down.

Logically the fights Conor McGregor should look forward is the Nate Diaz rematch and after that if Nick Diaz comes back then he can fight against him if he is able to defeat Nate Diaz in the trilogy and all of these fights will be a huge success in terms of the numbers and the money earned. If he fights against Jake Paul which is a much heavier fighter there is no way Conor McGregor would stand a chance against him and another proposal of fighting against Kamaru Usman who will be a nightmare fight for Conor McGreor as he will be humiliated.

With two contrasting matches i am waiting to see what will be the result in the next match as Bangladesh have a few tricks up its sleeve in this tournament as they are able to trouble some of the South African batsman and if they do not make blunders even after winning the toss if they did not understand the nature of the pitch then there is a chance for another surprise from Bangladesh.

The match ended in a draw but what is striking is that apart from Kraigg Brathwaite no one the players were able to play for a longer period of time which means if England would have give a target of 240 runs to chase or 10 more overs left then there was a chance for them to pick the rest of the wickets and may be probably win the match.

Either way it is good to see teams touring Pakistan after a long gap and now only India is the only country that is not interested to tour Pakistan and that too due to political reason. The fans would love to see the match either way and i did not see any highlights either but how are the crowds in Pakistan, are the stadiums getting full.

The things you said are true but the market has grown than it was 4 years ago, i am also expecting a major correction but there are multiple factors that are in play we did not have in the past, including institutional investors who is holding billions of dollars worth of cryptocurrencies and if anyone of these institutional investors think about booking their profit then we will see the market going for a major correction, till now they are selling off strategically rather than dumping everything and then another factor is the global financial sector where everyone is expecting major inflation and i am curious what the investors will do during these situation, where they will go after gold or they will set a portion for the cryptocurrency market as well during those situations.

Even in this situation where Visa Card and Master Card put on restrictions on the entire country, do you think that Russia will not be having a back up plan, as you mentioned they are having close ties with China and they have their own network and they will overcome these sanctions with the alternative provided by China and they are planning to build a strategic position in Asia and globally which is not great but that is where the situation is positioning with the developments we are seeing now.

We can interpret the data in a different view point, in volatile times you never know there are institutional institutions or even government institutions purchasing huge number of coins in case there is a huge inflation looming in their country. Anything is possible and it is hard to analyze those things unless the centralized exchanges provide the data for everyone to see about who is making these huge withdrawals.

We have come a long way in the last 10 years and the adoption rate keeps on increasing every year. You cannot expect all the third world countries using the cryptocurrency space where they do not have internet connection. We never expected any country to accept Bitcoin as a legal tender few years ago and now we have countries using Bitcoin as a legal tender and the changes keep on coming.

Another match up and another surprise from Bangladesh but i would say the pitch was turning a lot and it was a difficult pitch to bat and Bangladesh was wrong in assessing the pitch as they won the toss and elected to bat. If they would have sent South Africa to bat after winning the toss, i think the situation would have been different. Toss was crucial in a pitch like this and Bangladesh ended up in the receiving end.

Missed the entire event as the timing was different, i just sat down to watch the fights and unfortunately the event is over  .

Here are the results.

Have to watch the highlights but Tom Aspinall and Paddy Pimblett stole the show and good to see Gunnar Nelson getting a win.

Depending on the project you can take positions according to the market situation, i missed the meme hype during the initial stages but then i jumped into some of the hype projects and then booked my profit without holding much as i am not too confident to hold them for a long time. There are some projects that are good but the price is yet to move higher and hopefully we need to hold for the next rally.
