Jacob Malkoun and even though i was expecting  Abdul Razak Alhassan to continue with his momentum but Jacob Malkoun surprised me with his dominance in wrestling and he basically dominated the entire match with his ground skills.
Jacob Malkoun comes from the same fight camp of Robert Whittaker and i did not expect Robert Whittaker to out wrestle Kelvin Gastelum and now it looks like a rematch between Israel Adesanya would be interesting because of his massive improvement in the ground game and his team mate Jacob Malkoun was hyped by Robert Whittaker during media day and hence i was expecting him to have a good performance and he delivered.

Drakkar Klose injured well before the fight and he suffered a concussion and it is silly that happened during the stare downs because of a push by Jeremy Stephens.

Booo on Askren. He was there only to get the cheque. Such a slow bag with fat...
Looks like gained on purpose. I’m not going to gym for 3 years look better than him. Paying so much money for PPV was probably a steal of the year.
I did not pay for the fight, i might watch the highlights later, Ben Askren was knocked out and his talks of venturing another sport just messed up big time, he can protest the stoppage and save his face but even if the referee allowed he would have hurt again as his defense was shit and even though he was training with Freddie Roach for the camera he did not learn the basic defense  Cheesy.
2243  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin high fee has brought dogecoin to limelight on: April 17, 2021, 09:55:12 PM
Apart from Elon musk hyping dogecoin these past months that got price hanging at $0.05 now the price has gone skyrocket. The skyrocket price of doge I believe is becayof the high fees of bitcoin transaction.
I am not sure the high transaction charges of BTCitcoin is the sole reason for the Doge pump, if you look at the entire market every coin that did not rally during this bull run started going up including BCH which crossed $1000 after a very long time and BSV was another coin that rallied when Doge was pumping hard.

The art of pumping and dumping has brought Doge to the limelight with the help of shilling by Elon Musk and other social media shills Cheesy.
2244  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk stop messing up the crypto market on: April 17, 2021, 07:07:56 PM
Am I the only one who finds his tweets and market manipulation annoying?

A lot of newbies falling into the trap unfortunately. BTC is strong and won't be affected too much but Dogecoin is just increasing its pump and dump reputation. Sad.
When you have the top coins in the market out of reach for a common man as the price is sitting at an all time high valuation, investors usually tend to look for coins that can be pumped in the short period and in the case of Doge Coin you cannot blame Elon Musk entirely as the big whales are behind the pump and if anyone fall for that then they are to be blamed and they will learn their experience and be careful next time  Grin.
2245  Economy / Economics / Re: Charlie Munger: "Bitcoin is an artificial substitute for Gold" on: April 17, 2021, 06:15:10 PM
While I have great respect for Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett, it feels like they have missed the boat on Bitcoin - leaving a lot of money on the table as it were. They have famously avoided tech stocks until investing in Apple relatively late and it seems they have gotten increasingly risk adverse in their old age.
They have their reasons for avoiding Tech stocks as they identified them as a bubble and it was a fact that those years were termed as the Dot Com bubble and we know what happened the bubble burst and many lost their money while anyone who entered early made their profit as well.
So you cannot blame them completely and we will see the same situation in the cryptocurrency market as well.


Personally I think that Bitcoin is an artificial substitute for gold and that is actually a good thing. 
I just like to see them as virtual currency and not adding any other addition meaning to it  Grin.

Curators really $ucked up many punters in the last game, they changed the pitch completely at Wankhede.  I was expecting big scoring game and had bet on 190+ score and got rekt.
So this is the kind of inside information Heath Streak shared with the bookies  Cheesy, it is a really fucked up situation as it is difficult to predict the pitch behaving the opposite from the last match and who would have thought a team would score less than 110 runs in an IPL match when Sanju Samson scored 119 in the same ground  Cheesy.
 
There is no home advantage for any franchise this year so MI is not going to play any game in Wankhede.
I did not know that, so it is a fair option for every team, so where is the final played.


Big challenge for Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians is the favorite and will probably win the match.
2247  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 16, 2021, 11:41:55 PM
When we talk of the Wankhede stadium, the previous match of Punjab was completely different with today's match. The scoring rate were at the peak for both the teams, and served to be a batting pitch. Today the ground was supportive for bowlers, both the teams have lost wickets and the average score isn't reached.
I would be surprised if they use the same pitch again as they really does not care about giving the bowlers a fair pitch or a longer boundary and they do not want to risk the viewership, may be the other pitch in the ground is prepared for Mumbai Indians to play their next game as they already have good bowlers and they do not need the pitch assistance to trouble the opposition and so is the reason they used this pitch in this game  Cheesy .

After reading all the responses it is a struggle to be a freelancer in all parts of the world and hopefully we need a massive change in that aspect. The situation in Bangladesh is a different thing altogether compared to the west as you mentioned that you are not able to use PayPal to accept payments but what about other options and i think Rocket pay is widely used and i am aware that BTCitcoin trading is termed illegal by the government and you have to take into consideration those risk as well.

It is amazing how long a Ponzi may last.
It is crazy to think that people will not learn from their blunders even though they know that they are investing in scam ponzi schemes and cryptocurrency market also had its fair share of ponzi schemes inspired by Bernard Madoff and if you look in this forum you will identify many promoting them including OneCoin, Bitconnect and PlusToken and even with all the warnings people will ignore them and invest in them and end up burning their money.
2250  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen if Satoshi moves or sells his Bitcoin? on: April 16, 2021, 06:40:20 PM
Satoshi does not needs to sell the coins to create the panic in the market, just moving his coins alone will send panic warning to the entire market and we will see a major correction even if he moves the coins from his known wallets and that is the influence of the creator and the coins he is holding.
I hope we will not see that situation anytime soon, if he wants to move he would have already done that and we have not seen any signs as of yet.
2251  Economy / Speculation / Re: It's not the end, $60k again on: April 15, 2021, 11:59:36 PM

we can assume that everything will continue to grow (both bitcoin and the stock market). One has only to remember that sooner or later the reverse phase of this phenomenon will come and at this moment all markets will fall.  A real hodler can just wait it out, but the ideal version of which all investors want is to sell at the maximum price and then buy it back cheaper.
The idea of cryptocurrency market as a savior against the fiat market will be tested soon if there is an economical crisis and with the pandemic in full swing in all of the major countries and the governments around the world trying different methods to contain the cash flow might harm the economy in the long run as the US alone printed out trillions during these phases and it will affect the economy and if that happens how it will affect the cryptocurrency market is a big question.

Another interesting aspect is that whether we will see the market moving higher because investors are afraid to invest in traditional assets because of these scenarios or are they taking advantage of the situation in the cryptocurrency market and pumping the prices so that they could book the profit and dump the coins.
2252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 15, 2021, 11:20:10 PM
The most expensive player of 2021 IPL auction is Chris Morris and he justified it with his extraordinary knock today, I didn't expect them to win as well and I stopped watching when the 5 wickets fell for 40 runs but saw the scores at the 19th over then it was one of the nail biting match and I saw all the big sixes in the last few overs.
Chris Morris performance looks like he was giving a good reply to Sanju Samson who rejected a single in the last game because he thought he could finish the match with a six and ended up loosing his wicket, the way Chris Morris batted today he could have scored the winning runs in the last match and Royals  players needs to be consistent especially Sanju.
2253  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin at $1 million this cycle really possible? on: April 14, 2021, 08:43:00 PM
Just a matter of time and time will answer all these questions. Bitcoin or the cryptocurrency world is full of surprises. Right now who would have thought bitcoin would reach $ 60k ATH. The highest price that many people could not achieve but was reached in a few years.
The entire cryptocurrency market is full of surprises as some of the coins which i thought was dead and dusted suddenly emerging with slight changes in their development and with the new hype trend words they are adding DeFi and other similar catchphrases to attract the investors once again and the dead markets started rallying during the last few months, basically i was surprised to see those dead projects for the past few years rallying but despite all this i doubt we will reach anyone close to a million dollars even in the next rally.
2254  Economy / Speculation / Re: Here is why April may be the best month yet for Bitcoin price on: April 11, 2021, 09:01:49 PM

^ I don’t think the weakening of US dollars will affect BTC negatively. In fact, it does make Bitcoin get the advantage.
If the fiat is weakening then the price of BTCitcoin will move up and i am not sure whether that is what happening here but the price already tried to breach $60k but did not sustain it and we might see another push in the coming weeks.

We will never know what is gonna happen and we never expected the BTC to reach $60k in this situation though. It was nearly impossible but it did. Despite the pandemic happening, it did grow. So what’s new?
There are multiple factors at stake here, many countries are locking down again and it will create another issue and the stress it is creating to the economy might pump money again in the cryptocurrency market and i always wonder whether the price would rally this much if it was a normal situation.

2 quick wickets and game tilting towards KKR for sure but dew could come into play, it should be tight game imo as SRH got depth in their battling line up where Rashid Khan comes at number 8 and he knows how to swing bat.
This match just showed how SRH messed up their batting line up, they had the batsman to win this chase but they were not sending the proper players according to the situation, as you said Rashid Khan can swing the bat but he never came out to bat and they held back Abdul Samad and you cannot consume the entire pressure in the last few overs and think that they can swing the bat and win the match.
2256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC Vegas 23: Vettori vs. Holland - Predictions & discussion on: April 11, 2021, 07:25:06 PM
Vettori wants Adesanya now to get his championship belt.
They fought before and it was a close match but now Marvin is smarter to know how to put him away.
Let's hope this one comes up in October like he says he wants it to be up against Israel. Wink
Marvin Vettori gave the toughest fight for Israel Adesanya in the division and after looking at this fight against Kevin Holland he has improved a lot in his wrestling while Israel Adesanya was able to defend much of his take down during their first encounter and with the blue print on how to tackle the cage defense of Israel Adesanya it is going to be interesting if they fight again.

Mike Perry lost his fight easy and I think it's time for him to take a break after losing four fromlast five fights.
It is time for Mike Perry to retire even though he is below 30 years, he needs to go fight somewhere else and improve and then make a return.
2257  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP is up 118% in seven days as the market responds positively to SEC case news on: April 11, 2021, 05:54:37 PM
It seems Ripple is one of few coins that pumps on SEC news Tongue  Normal cryptocurrencies have nothing to do with SEC and dont need any of their news so their pump have to rely on adoption and development news. I am sure SEC will make many more news to influence ripple price.
It is not the SEC that created the news sensation, the court made the price rally because they denied the SEC request to get some personal banking transaction records and the court rejected that and i have no idea why that would help the market rally as the lawsuit is not squashed in any way and yet the market was able to rally as if everything is sorted.
 May be everything will be sorted but it will take time.
2258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 11, 2021, 04:03:19 PM
I doubt KKR will win the match! All of them are old and donnot have anything left in them. These bowlers bloom once a year in IPL and you cannot expect them to perform from day one. Hyderabad are favourite nin this match.
I think KKR have a chance here to win the match and it all depends upon how David Warner and Jonny Bairstow performs as they are their high profile players who could change the match and if Shakib Al Hasan and Pat Cummins could bowl a good line and length then they could increase the pressure to score off the other bowlers and it is not going to be an easy chase.

Edit: Warner is back in the pavilion.
2259  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you believe history repeat itself? Economic wise. on: April 10, 2021, 11:57:33 PM
High inflation driving everybody insane. The guy who is running out of money to keep up with the expenditure are pushing themselve to gambling their cash on everything possible, stock market, crypto, commodity. The cycle can be seen in years of the past. It’s not a untold story.
It is not a big secret that history will repeat itself and economic cycles are a fact and there are many factors that determine how the cycle will be at a given point. Right now we are in a pandemic and we are bound to see inflation in a huge way and it will have an affect globally at some stage in the next few years.

The only difference is that the rate of the cycle between each wave is shorter and so is the reason we are experiencing multiple recessions in our life time.

Food price is surely soaring. Some items in the online store soaring in price too, can’t you ignore it wouldn’t impact your daily routine, the inflation drag everybody down into the rabbit hole, no one can escape this chaos.
Metals and other investments might be a good idea along with cryptocurrency investment if you think the fiat currency is dragging everyone down.

Right, KYC is only enforced if needed so. But don't worry about those that don't have suspicious activities on their accounts and only use it just as is.
You won't be asked for KYC if you know that you're cleanly using the plaform.
I did verify my KYC on the site because when there was a breach in Primedice a few years back i had to submit my details to log into my account after a gap and had to search my old deposit addresses and transaction ID to get back my account and the reason for my verification is to avoid looking for my old transaction if anything happens in the future  Cheesy. I have not heard stake asking for a mandatory KYC unless someone is abusing the system.
