2381  Economy / Speculation / Re: If Russia goes full Bitcoin adoption on: April 18, 2022, 07:51:45 PM
Once after the war we've seen a large number of individuals and companies investing into cryptocurrency. Russia and Ukraine were using it as an alternate to their traditional form of financial system. Russia going full on bitcoin is temporary in my view, because once things settled down we'll think of moving down on the track. By the time once again bitcoin will get importance as investment and people move towards traditional fiat for regular needs.

This match is going to be important for both teams but I think Kolkata Knight Riders need this win more than Rajasthan Royals because they are below Rajasthan Royals in the points table and they also have played one more match. And that certainly puts them at a disadvantage. But I doubt that is going to happen because the Royals are in better form than Kolkata Knight Riders at the moment.

KKR won the toss and decided to Bowl.
Rajasthan Royals is in good form. Jos Butler is playing brilliant shots and Padikkal is giving the opportunity to play. Jos Butler is in good form and it's quite interesting to watch his play. The third over last ball from Umesh Yadav was guided towards the third man. Venkatesh Iyer chased the ball and by the time they took four runs with their excellent running.

Rajasthan Royals are playing really well and I am quite sure that they are going to cross the 200 mark. Jos Butler is on 103 off just 61 balls. He just played like a mad man and unfortunately, the wicket has been gone. Still have 18 balls left in this innings. It will be an easy win for RR, their winning probability is 77% currently  Cool
Right now the winning probability of Kolkata Knight Riders have reached 77% with the magical play from Shreyas Iyer and the good start from Finch. The match is going to be an easy win for Kolkata Knight Riders and the match have turned to Kolkata Knight Riders with the catch of Shreyas dropped by Sanju Samson. Just 40 runs required out of 24 balls which is an easy target.

More projects with different features and different purpose of usage is getting into the market. Some projects turn to be successful, and it is really hard to find which one gonna succeed and get enrolled. Some bounties were paying in stablecoins and with tokens listed on exchanges. When one enrolls into a bounty, he/she should have patience. Because, some bounties pay after few months as well as to get listed on exchanges there takes time.

^^ I guess it's better for her to take a break and let that injury heal first before making a comeback, otherwise it will just haunt her down and maybe it will have a toll on his mind and body and won't be able to get back to her old form. Maybe it was the 'curse' of the US Open for women, or just maybe bad luck on her side for having that blisters on her hand.

I don't think the blisters is luck really, she has been suffering from them a few times this season. We have to remember that her body is not used to the rigours of the professional tour yet, it will take time for her to get used to it not just mentally, but also physically. Remember her matches this week were her first ever on clay at the top level, which just sounds crazy. She doesn't even really know how to move on the surface, it is a huge learning curve.

I'm confident we will see her back up near the top, and I'm sure she is capable of being a top 10 player and challenging regularly for slams... but what she needs now is time. It may be a year or two before we start to see her potential in anything other than brief flashes.

Personally, I’m not so optimistic about her future tennis career and I wonder if we’re looking at another Osaka case?
Ever since she won the GS in America she seems to have lost her confidence and no longer plays at that level.
She does not seem to be able to withstand the great public pressure and expectations from her.
Immediately after the greatest success of her tennis career, she fired her coach and since then she has not achieved any major tennis results.
Being an young player she has got time to recover. Taking rest for now will help her career progress than straining. At the young age getting into the top ranking gives them the mind that they're the best and they doesn't need anyone. That is where she fired her coach. Being young is the reason why she isn't able to withstand the public pressure. With time this will change along with the better games.

2386  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Dogecoin 🐕‍🦺 1$ possible in 2022 or not? on: April 17, 2022, 07:01:40 PM
I think the hype from Elon Musk isn't effective anymore because people are losing trust on it. Dogecoin hasn't bright future and it is running on the hype. It needs to have some effective features to attract new investors. I don't think that dogecoin will be able to cross $1 in 2022.
It's hard to read any future market can still happen. I think the price of DOGE is strong enough to last until now. That's proof there's a force that's keeping it from falling too deep. I think the market will follow where BTC is going, and it has been all along. There has to be a touch of Elon and Elon is working to guide public opinion if Doge is promising enough in the future. Or maybe Elon should pump up Doge to bring investors into the Doge market.
Anymore the touch from Elon is not gonna make a big change in the dogecoin market. As per my understanding if doge needs to reach $1, then it needs to experience the natural growth out of the market and not the manipulated/influential progress. Elon is working on it, and more platforms have added dogecoin to its accepted list. These are small steps to give it real-time usage and growth which is a must for its regular growth as a cryptocurrency.
2387  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any Bounty who is giving Big Reward. on: April 17, 2022, 06:41:05 PM
Been here before until I realized I am wasting a lot of time for pennies.
Before, it was worth the 2-3 months of supporting their ICO. I can get at the range of $500-2000 after selling the given token but now it had been risky joining their bounties.
It's already risky just waiting for the coin to make a value in the market and yet there are scammers who would not pay for different reasons.
There's no such thing as filtering who will give the biggest reward, you do your work and hope you did it right so you'll get paid afterward.
Projects have a long process to get valued in the market. In the past the market is different and now things have changed. Earlier there were very few number of projects in the market and it is quite an easy thing to reach the trading platform. Nowadays the competence is very high and this makes only the legit and the potential projects to get listed whereas the rest gets termed as scam. So, it is good to analyse and participate with the hope of long term benefiting.
2388  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are we entering the era of CBDCs? on: April 17, 2022, 03:34:06 PM
The world is getting into the usage of cryptocurrencies in large scale. Right now governments weren't able to have control over the financial system. Just to keep everything under control governments have planned to have their own CBDC. As a result more and more countries are into research for the same and many have already launched their CBDC's. In recent months there were news about CBDC launch from Iran, Jamaica, Malaysia and it keeps counting. However the real-time usage of CBDC's can't restrict common people who have been users of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

PBKS and SRH are at no 5 and 6 so far and the tournament is still opened for both teams unlike MI. PBKS are not looking good in this game as they are 74/4 in 11 overs. Liam Livingstone is the only hope left for PBKS as rest of there top batting failed today.

PBKS collected 130 runs in 16 overs, and they did not lose any more wickets. Livingstone scored 54 off 29 balls and Shahrukh scored 26 off 27 balls. The partnership was definitely needed. But Shahrukh probably forgot it was a T20 match. The striker rate should have been at least more than 120. Such unprofessional gameplay is never expected. My guess is that Punjab will give a target of 175-185 runs today.
Punjab kings looked like scoring above 180 runs at some situation. But things didn't work as expected during the end overs. In the last 5 overs just 29 runs being scored. Liam Livingston didn't get opportunity to face during the last overs. The last over being a maiden with four wickets have made Punjab Kings end the innings for 151. Possibly this will be a win for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
2390  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: April 17, 2022, 10:34:06 AM

Assume how these mercenary players from India and Pakistan are reaching Oman and United Arab Emirates, do you think that their cricket board is coming to India and Pakistan to recruit these players or do you think that these players are moving to these countries looking for new opportunities and go for selection process and if they have the talent they will be picked. I doubt they will be sending scouts rather these players are moving to their country to play the game.

There are already enough cricket players in Pakistan and India, so there is no need to PCB and BCCI to go out and hunt for players. GCC have zero interest in cricket but they have money, just to fulfil there passion they have made a cricket team out of expats. Players from Pakistan and India love to play for GCC since it gives the huge money.
We can't say players from India and Pakistan were moving to GCC countries looking for cricketing career. It is common to see more number of people from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Afghanistan from neighbouring countries getting settled in GCC countries. As the GCC countries are much into horse racing and other form of games, these expats have helped in creating national cricket teams. Also this doesn't mean they are paid big.

The bowling correction is very common with all levels of bowlers from all countries. There is nothing as the bowlers from specific countries weren't reported. Even before entering the international cricket career players were corrected for the bowling action. The latest bowler from India to have bowling correction after suspect action is Natarajan.
Natarajan corrected his action to save career

Panjab Kings    VS    SUnrisers Hyderabad

After a while Punjab and Hyderabad have an important match. I would say both teams are in pretty good form. Both of them have won 3 out of 5 matches. And the important thing is that Sunrisers Hyderabad has won their last 3 matches. And so today's match will be very competitive. The team that wins will be in the top four of the points table today. While the batting lineup of PBKS is strong, their bowling lineup is weak. Yet I think Punjab can win today.
In this season of IPL each and every team are strong to be on the top four. Much expected and strong teams of the past have almost missed the opportunity. It is really bad moment for Mumbai Indians to loss the first 6 matches. It is no surprise to see both the new teams on the top two position. In my view today's match is completely unpredictable, because both the teams are in good position. Small mistakes will change the match.
2393  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin donations no longer welcome on Wikipedia on: April 17, 2022, 04:50:02 AM
The real-time usage is quite low which is the truth. In terms of acceptance it is possible to see a good number of stores and services accepting bitcoin, but those were happening through an intermediary which instantly convert bitcoin paid by the consumer to the seller in terms of fiat. As in the OP when large scale companies make their entry, it turns to be a big news. In reality thats just a form of speculation and it is an investment for the company. Maybe things can change in the future.
2394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Still Supporting And Playing On Newly Launch Casinos on: April 17, 2022, 03:35:18 AM
I just used to visit the casino and see what it provides. Most of the new casinos looks like the copycat of the successful casinos. Later based on the level of legitimacy and the promotion done by the casino will decide whether to continue using it or not. As OP have mentioned more number of casinos have been getting into existence whereas a very few succeed.

On our gambling section we can see and understand how many casinos and sports betting platforms available. Also the list of trusted ones based on different factors. To overcome the popular ones is a hard thing. Maybe some form of promotion could help in this.
2395  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin, a possible replacement for credit cards on: April 17, 2022, 03:01:53 AM
Bitcoin as a replacement for credit cards is a wrong statement. The purpose of credit card is to use even when the account doesn't have any balance. People have specific time period within which the amount being used need to be deposited, if not interest gets calculated. This is how the credit card function.

OP have stated bitcoin as a means of transaction over the usage of credit cards. How this gonna be more effective for now is a question mark, because users get far better access on shops for credit cards whereas bitcoin acceptance is very limited and are found in specific regions. In terms of avoiding the intermediary bitcoin is good, but in real time usage credit cards take the lead. Maybe over years we can experience change.

Yes of course Shiba Inu holders will go to the moon soon. The Shiba Inu team is very strong and honest They are trying hard to get this project in a very good position. Hopefully Shiba Inu will be in a better position soon and the holders will go to the moon.They are already Robinhood Listed.I hope to bring a very good profit from here.
it is only about time, soon or later shiba inu will back again to previous all tiime high which is not tested yet. in developtment side, developers team doing good thing , alot technical progress that can be done. with this robinhood listing it show how they work seriously. i am belive when crypto market totally recover , shiba price will move faster than another coins.
Maybe that can happen, because there is regular addition of Shiba among accepted cryptocurrency on different services. Recently delivery app from Mexico named Rappi have begun to accept Shiba. The partnering with bitpay and bitso lets the consumer deposit crypto and get it into credits instantly which can be used further. More such addition in different services have been taking place which in long term will help with the growth. Another one addition is the shiba acceptance by leading VIP Travel Company of Netherlands.

SHIB Accepted by Delivery App

SHIB Payments Now Accepted by Leading VIP Travel Company in The Netherlands

Correct, those that know about the topic knew that a decentralized currency was possible, however it was not until several technologies were developed and Satoshi put them together in a masterful way in which something like bitcoin finally materialized, so while without a doubt bitcoin is the latest iteration when it comes to money, it would be a mistake to think it is the last step, bitcoin without a doubt will be improved upon but at some point in the future I would no be surprised if something way better appears, however I do not think this is something that will happen soon.
Yes, after several years of technical improvement bitcoin reached the real-time usage even though the concept is being tossed much earlier from th year on which genesis block is being mined. With time the growing population and technology updation requires more changes and this will be taken care by the developers. Beyond this it is the evolution that needs to give the answer, because the upcoming generation is completely into the technology world for anything. This will surely push them to think big and better technology.

Whether it is high rollers or the small wagers, every gambler will have pain. Maybe the one we've seen here looks like a whale, but we don't know what is his situation now. If he's on the winning streak then sure he'll be enjoying and if not his mind will be thinking of making a mistake of trying to recover back what is being lost on consecutive bets.

Now this has turned to be a hobby to watch the bets. Today came across this hidden person who has been wagering around $1500 for a long and a smaller bet with a big multiplier came out of the same game. If his losses were compensated with the win then he's a big winner.

In each and everything he'll makes money. What is happening with his plans of buying more shares on Twitter is a play to influence the market. Some users have mentioned the plans of pumping the dogecoin price. For now that doesn't look like the plan. What we see here is the plan of pumping the market with his plans of buying more shares. This will surely pump the market share value of Twitter. By that time Elon will sell his holdings and exchange some other businesses.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata knight riders

What is your guess about today's KKR vs SRH match? Hyderabad has won 2 out of 4 matches and lost both the matches. They have beaten Chennai and Gujarat in the last two matches. Moreover, Hyderabad's bowling line-up is strong enough.
On the other hand, KKR has won 3 out of 5 matches. Although the Kolkata bowlers did well in the past matches, their performance against DC was very poor. The bowling lineup of both teams is strong enough. So the outcome of the match will depend on the performance of the batsmen. What do you think?
Kolkata was able to provide a target of 176 runs. This is a good enough collection against Hyderabad. But Hyderabad's batsmen are playing well. The chances of winning are now higher than in Hyderabad. Hyderabad's collection of 104 runs in 10.4 overs lost only 2 wickets. The match is still under the control of Hyderabad. However, if Cummins and Narine can bowl a few overs controlled then Kolkata has a chance to win.

Hyderabad easily defeated Kolkata as a result of the devastating batting of Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram. Tripathi made 71 off 37 balls and Marakram made 68 off 36 balls.  As a result of the excellent batting of these two batsmen, Hyderabad collected 176 runs in just 17.5 overs. The performance of Kolkata bowlers was very disappointing. I expected a better performance from Kolkata today. The performance of the top order batsmen was poor. At the same time, Kolkata has lost due to poor performance of bowlers.
This was an easy win, because the players kept creating partnership after every wicket fall. Rahul Tripathi took responsibility at the right time and scored what is necessary as per the run rate. It can't be said as poor bowling, because Narine and Chakravarthy are the bowlers who have been changing the matches towards KKR in the middle overs. Today they weren't able to do as predicted against the bowlers.
