2321  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: It's the year 2018 over again on: May 05, 2022, 11:12:08 PM
Inflation higher than it’s been in 40 years, and that's the reason for the ongoing market decline as FED keeps increasing the interest rates. It further mentioned, the interest rates will be raised again. Any decision made by the Fed will affect bitcoin and the crypto space, ans thats what we're experiencing now. It looks like a short term market decline. If questioned, will this be another 2018? We don't know how changes gonna happen in the market. Already most of the altcoins have marked a decline of over 5% and if this goes further it can be good time for accumulation.
2322  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think we should do with our investments in times of uncertainty? on: May 05, 2022, 10:00:52 PM
It is true that crypto market is completely uncertain. We all move over the trust, that the market will progress with time. Being volatile is the characteristics of bitcoin. People also love the volatility, because without this there is no earning access. When we think about the risks, there is risk with every form of investment. With cryptocurrency this is found little above other form of investment. For the risk, there is profiting access.

Fear should not accompany cryptocurrency investors, because if they fear automatically the decision goes wrong. I would suggest the long term users just leave the holding unlike the market variations. For short term holders and users who make unexpected selling it is good to hold partial investment in terms of stablecoins and partial in the form of bitcoin. This will help to maintain the portfolio without much disturbance caused due to the market crash.

It seems like Warner will not give up soon, as he's in a revenge mood. David Warner reached his fourth fifty of the IPL 2022 while he is still batting. With a win today, Sunrisers will be four points ahead of their rivals in the playoff race. But, DC seems to have a different idea because they are also looking for a win.

Warner blistering 92 of 58 balls have set the stage for DC victory. SRH need 30 runs of 8 balls with 3 wickets in hands. Khaleel Ahmed and Thakur did the job with ball for DC. After this win DC will move up in points table but not in top 4 at the moment.
I find SRH to be unlucky, because in 13 matches Sunrisers Hyderabad have managed to win only one match chasing a target above 190 runs. In every match it have come closer, fortunately something unexpected happens in between and losses the match. In today's match I find the wicket of Sashank an unexpected and unwanted at that time. He unwanted connected the wide ball and lost his wicket, if not he would've contributed good which could've lowered the pressure at the end overs.

I remember before the start of the IPL many had ruled out Punjab, but surprisingly they haven’t played that bad this season which shows how unpredictable IPL really can be. Also Lucknow and Gujarat are looking very strong, and maybe they’ll be facing each other in the finals?, and lastly I have a strong feeling that one of them will win the IPL title this year.

What a start by GT And LSG, they were first time in the tournament and right away grabbed the number 1 and 2 spots. They both are already qualified for next round while while nothing is ascertain of number 3 and 4 slot. Still lot of ipl left till 22nd May 2022 and any team can grab number 3 and 4 slot.
Both the Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans are newly introduced teams this season, and the newly introduced teams have been performing well. There is a lot of excitement and pride among the management and fans as they prepare for the next round. In the tournament for the IPL 2022 Playoffs, who will take in the number 3 and 4 slots? SRH and Rajasthan Royals might be perfect choices.

I have an intuition that RR will take the 3rd slot and I am not sure about SRH whether they will be still retaining the 4th spot or if any other team will take it. PBKS, DC, and KKR can still occupy that space if they work on their NRR. CSK still can go that far as now Dhoni is handling the captaincy and under him, they have achieved such huge feets with ease.

Finally Chennai Super Kings have missed the train to the top four with the defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore. There was big expectation as Dhoni took the captaincy, but the players lack taking responsibility. This means there is no player to perform according to the situation. So, this time CSK can now be removed from the list. The competence will be between Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
2325  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: May 03, 2022, 11:40:42 PM
Alas, my prediction was wrong in relation to this match. PBKS had an outstanding match today and totally washed out GT. @mamun74 - good prediction in regarding the match. I'm sure that if you had bet for PBKS, the betting odds would have been higher and you would have got a huge payout for it.
No one was expecting this result. Everyone like me thought that it will be an easy win for GT but thanks to extraordinary spell by Kagiso Rabada, GT were restricted to 143. PBKS chased that without much hassle. Now we are seeing low scoring games, team batting first are mostly scoring  around 150.

Gujarat was in such remarkable form. Today's result was completely unexpected. They have collected only 143 runs. And winning in this collection is almost impossible. The performance of the bowlers was also very bad. Gujarat has been the most consistent team in the IPL this season. The Punjab team on the other hand is completely unstable. It was unthinkable for me that Punjab would win this match
Both the new teams have almost in a confirmed state for the playoff. For the next two position the competence have started to increase with the win of PBKS. I find Punjab Kings a better team than Gujarat Titans considering the players. I don't know, this is just my personal opinion. Gujarat Titans have got players who are good enough to play according to the situation.

You have got the choice of Self exclusion through the support team. Maybe you can request them and stay away from gambling. From the details about the account it looks like you'll be receiving $500 by may 15th. Apart from that $19/day for 7 days. Further you've mentioned there is good wagering. It may count you with $25/day for the next 7 days. So altogether you'll get $500+$308 = $808. You've asked $1000 for your account. What's the need of selling and making a buyer get into some problem during withdrawal of funds.
2327  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How are you preparing for bear market on: May 02, 2022, 10:17:57 PM
Preparations for bear market

  • Watch the market closely.
  • Trade against Stable coins if you find the market has turned bearish.
  • Use the cost average selling to avoid unwanted loss of funds.
  • Never get into panic, try to accumulate more volume of holdings based on the market.
  • Prepare a list for long term profit, buy those at the bear market and hold it.
2328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: May 02, 2022, 06:07:29 PM
Same as that we see in the FIFA, cricket needs to be encouraged with more countries. Different levels of qualifiers needs to be conducted, so to give opportunity to new teams. Playing with limited number of teams shrunk the fanbase within specific countries and cricket will be termed as the sport of specific regions. With the T20 leagues more countries have slowly started to practice cricket.
2329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Horse Racing and Gambling on it should be banned on: May 02, 2022, 04:31:32 PM
I don't how the horse racing got into gambling. In most of the races associated with animals, there is cultural and traditional connection. For example bullfighting practiced in Spain and different other countries. In philippines it is cockfight, so even when Animal welfare organization raise complaints such traditionally connected games won't be banned/restricted.
2330  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon and and how this "dude" could effect bitcoin in the future? on: May 02, 2022, 03:46:12 PM
We all know that elon musk is not just a billionaire but is also the biggest influencer in social media especially in twitter. His words are being followed by millions of people so I'm sure every tweets he makes will surely have an impact especially now that he already bought twitter. And we all know that he is putting a hype in dogecoin so therefore he will make a move to hype doge more. And it will surely have an effect in bitcoin as well. The problem is that we don't know whether the effect most of the time will be positive or negative. It will depend on how elon musk plays around in the market. But one thing is for sure, bitcoin will still continue being adopted with or without elon musk. It cannot be stopped!
He's a big influencer, same time he's a businessman. In each and everything he'll look for money making. This is experienced during the previous price pumping of dogecoin. After that there is no big impact felt upon the market whenever there is some tweet from Elon Musk. This is all because of people's better understanding about the market. Dogecoin will have more real-time usage with the buying of Twitter, and the same will make the dogecoin progress without any form of manipulation and hype.
2331  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: First Bitcoin City & Volcano Bond Failure on: May 02, 2022, 03:17:20 PM
I thing I do not understand, El-Salvador didn't ban dollar or other currency usage. People can still use dollar if they want to. So what's with the protest? The government has given a choice to adopt bitcoin but didn't ban dollar usage.

So it ia quite possible that the protests are being funded by some influential banking lobby. Because if El-Salvador is able to do well with bitcoin adoption, then it will create a great example in front of the world. But if it fails, banking lobby will be greatly benefited and they will have evidence to speak against bitcoin.
More discussion have come out stating the adoption of bitcoin is failure in El Salvador. This is quite early to make conclusion on the adoption of bitcoin. El Salvador made a strong decision when it comes to adoption, but the market isn't supportive for the plans put forth by President Nayib Bukele. Just because the Bitcoin City plan and Volcano bonds are getting delayed doesn't mean the adoption as failure.

As mentioned the country haven't restricted the usage of dollar within the country, so it is upto the people to use bitcoin/USD.
2332  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin may likely pull back to 35k on: May 02, 2022, 09:09:52 AM
There is more price predictions coming out from experts mentioning a down turn of upto $25000. With that in account, there is more possible chances of decline in the market. For now there is more chances of market movements happening between $38k - $40k. Every market move is well connected to something happening around the cryptospace. Right now we don't experience something like that and what we see in the market movements is the real corrective growth.
2333  Economy / Economics / Re: The first rule of investing is saving on: May 02, 2022, 07:46:57 AM
Savings

  • The level of risk is very low
  • Savings results in lower return
  • Savings can be done through bank products such as savings accounts, money markets, certificates of deposit.
  • Returns are low, and the same might gets eaten by the inflation.
  • Saving is straightforward and easy to do.

Investment

  • The level of risk is high
  • Investment results in much higher return
  • Investment can be done through brokerage arms for support, further stocks, ETFs, bonds and mutual funds, fall under investments
  • Returns are high, and it requires more learning to be the master than depending on brokerage service providers.
  • With investment there is lack of transparency.

..Unlucky me  Sad Sad Sad
Sorry to say that, but that is not about you being unlucky. It is more than you being careless and risking yourself in this situation.
You ignored a very important rule. Losing control in gambling is very potential, moreover, it will also lead to addiction, winning is also addiction. So, whatever the lesson, you should take and pay it.
Moreover, how can you really be sure that your chance to win is high enough? There is no guarantee or gambling is sometimes different, not always like usual
I agree, what all things mentioned is true. Rather than unlucky me, it is the lack of control and the choice of risking. Same time I just want to convey, if I'm lucky even the lack of control and choice of risking could've brought me good profit. For that reason I've mentioned as unlucky me.

As said the chance of winning isn't guaranteed, myself mentioned of the winning chance is high, just because of placing the bets to roll over 20 on dice. For this the winning chance is 80%, but as mentioned it isn't guaranteed.
2335  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to hit $100k? on: May 01, 2022, 07:53:46 PM
Initially it was the problem, there is no big discussion about the market and it isn't discussed about the joining of the company. Good that the brother of them is into the one day discussion. The market is much dependent on the Twitter rocket. Now it is good to celebrate Bitcoin. In one view it looks like a big thing happened
2336  Economy / Speculation / Re: $1 Million Bitcoin On Track To Break This Price Level. on: May 01, 2022, 06:14:53 PM
It is said that the European economy will face hard times and the same will boost the growth of bitcoin as more countries adopt bitcoin to overcome the crisis. These are all simply predictions. As the market is speculative, in the past such news used to make some disturbance on the market. Nowadays thinking is different, and people clearly understand that the prediction is about the year 2030. It is good to think about the moment and now the market is on the bearish track. Possibly it takes time for re-bounce.
2337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: May 01, 2022, 02:10:52 PM
Mitchell Marsh has gone, but it was a wrong decision from the umpire. Marsh should've gone for the review. If Delhi Capitals weren't able to reach the target, then it is the wrong decision that have changed the result. Marsh was in good form and making good comeback. Throughout this season there is more number of wrong decisions from the umpires. The cricket board needs to provide better training.

Delhi lost 4 wickets for 86 runs. Although Rishab Pant is still at the crease. However, the chances of winning this match are very low now. There is no batsman to support Rishab Pant. Lucknow will win if the bowlers of Lucknow can bowl in a controlled manner. But I think as long as RIshab Pant is at the crease, Delhi has a chance to win. Let's see what will happen.

Delhi has lost 5 wickets now and Rishabh Pant is not on the pitch anymore. They need 72 runs in 36 balls. That really seems unlikely to happen and with the batting that it follows I don't think it is realistic to think Delhi will be able to do it.

LSG Is bowling really well other than the part-time bowlers. they are bowling really tight Line and length and not giving free Runs to the opponent. Delhi capitals really need to start scoring really fast otherwise the match is going to get out of their hands.
The scoring of Delhi Capitals was perfectly right, and the run rate suddenly increased once after the wicket fall of Powell. Till the last Delhi Capitals tried their best, in particular Kuldeep did what is necessary for the moment. Axar had the hope of winning the match and avoided running at the last over. However it is a bad day for Delhi Capitals and stays on the 6th position.
2338  Economy / Economics / Re: Im ready to adond all banks and my friends also dont need banks anymore on: May 01, 2022, 01:46:50 PM
The question is whether everything we can pay with cryptocurrencies? I'm sure it is difficult to do all transactions with cryptocurrencies, especially in my country it is still difficult to find Bitcoin ATM and this is what makes the role of Banks still very important.
Every country have got stores accepting bitcoin, but this is limited within specific region. So, it is a difficult task to spend bitcoin directly on different needs. Another thing without a bank how OP will make a deposit/withdrawal out of his cards. He says Cash Machines are more than enough, but when he start using it once again he'll complain that the transaction charge is high and why to spend in such a way. For this I could use fiat. So, what OP trying to say isn't a possible solution for now.
2339  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia suspends gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria for failing to pay in rouble on: May 01, 2022, 01:25:08 PM
It's an undoubtable fact that Russia has disrupted the oil and gas market. Before you get started, I know, gas prices were already high enough before the Russian invasion, however, now they've skyrocketed, not to mention that due to the war, Crude oil surpassed all-time high records of many years, within a matter of time.

As a result, due to embargoes and the whole situation, Russia is selling discounted oil to Asian countries (thus, they're not that much affected by the sanctions), while Europe has to pay extravagant prices, without having a feasible solution planned.

The Europeans are shooting themselves on foot. Russians are also losing out, as they are being forced to sell oil and gas at discounted rates. On the other hand, the OPEC bloc as well as the Americans are gaining, as they are able to make good profits out of this situation. Crude oil prices have gone up by almost 200%, while the natural gas prices have gone up by 6-7x. Russia may ship more oil to countries such as India and Indonesia, but there is a lack of availability of large tankers to carry this oil.
Certainly, this is an adverse situation for both sides, however, as you've also mentioned yourself, Europe (mostly its citizens) is suffering the sanction's repercussions a lot worse than Russia, in terms of Crude oil prices at least. To be honest, I don't remember having such excessive gas prices here, for the past 10 years, taxes play a huge role in our case, but barrel prices have skyrocketed, achieving a new all-time high.


The fuel price around the globe have increased a lot due to the supply shortage. When this is the scenario in most of the European countries, why is the fuel price is found at the peak in Russia's friendly countries like India. It looks like the government is running with the revenue from fuel. For that reason unlike the barrel price, the taxation is done to keep the price on the top.

To win, Delhi Capital will have to collect about 10 runs per over. If the opening pair Prithvi Shaw and Warner are able to play well, then Delhi can easily win this match. Batting for 223 against Rajasthan, Delhi was able to collect till 207. So they can win for 196 runs if the top-order players are able to play well.
At the end of the first over, Delhi collected only 1 run.

LSG have got the big fish aka Warner. Both openers are gone and 32 runs in 4 overs. With this win LSG will further strengthen there position in top 4. KL Rahul is in terrific touch in this IPL today he scored 77 runs and overall its a good performance from LSG.
Its safe to bet on LSG right now.
Marsh and Pant have made a good partnership once after the dismissal of the openers. The 50 partnership between the two came in 17 balls. It is true that Rahul is in good form and he's the scoring machine for Lucknow Super Giants. In all matches where Rahul last his wicket earlier has ended in low target.
