2441  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are there no altcoins that can replace Bitcoin? on: April 03, 2022, 11:13:57 PM
the reality is even noncrypto users, when you ask if they know crypto, and they will most probably answer back, is it bitcoin? most people, in one way or another, have encountered the term bitcoin. but when you try to mention other alts, ethereum may be popular but with other alts, they will think twice what's the difference or what are those alts for? indeed, up until now, bitcoin is the very first in mind not only with crypto users as well as noncrypto users. hard to beat that popularity spanning more than a decade already.
Yes, Ethereum as one of topmost altcoins has dispensed the information of altcoins, but it's known by people who knows cryptocurrency very well, but some elements of people or category of people who are newbies into cryptocurrency industry don't have the pre knowledge of Ethereum because what dominate the ground is bitcoin and the name has circulates round the corners, so in summary, some of the starter of cryptocurrency investor dont know Ethereum, their focus goes directly to bitcoin.
Yes, this is the reality. Once ethereum dominance on the market kept on increasing whereas the dominance of bitcoin kept falling. Those are days when it is talked about the hard competence. Then onwards there is nothing to compete bitcoin for various reasons. Ethereum with its popularity as the dominant altcoin in the market have took a strong place. For now ethereum holds its position and it can't make any changes with bitcoin market.

People are aware of bitcoin, because it is the one that is being talked by any news source whenever something is being broadcast about cryptocurrency. Another thing is the usage and acceptance. There is no other cryptocurrency that have been accepted and getting used similar to fiat on different needs.

IPL is setting their standard and having no intention of bringing players from Associate countries which is good but PSL is not having any standard like this, and they are bringing players from all countries even they have not good reputation in cricket because it needs of their current situation with they are fighting hard for their better marketing and more fans base which allow these things.
The basis of any major tournament is to find the best players and allow the teams to auction them, if any associate countries have great players then they will be snatched without any hesitation. The prime example is Rashid Khan who is one of the expensive players in the IPL and he is a hot prospect because of his talent. If there are other talents that would win matches they will be held for auctions irrespective of their nationality.
Only Pakistan players weren't allowed to participate in the auction. If they were allowed, this time few of the players would've got auctioned at the highest price. As mentioned IPL is giving path for the talented players though it has been a multi-million business for the investors. PSL too will set its standard in the long term. Now it is too early considering the support and the players participation.

It would be really a great achievement for Ronaldo to end his national career by winning a World Cup indeed. But I just think that Portugal are a sad case about that for now. During the qualifiers phase, I didn't like Portugal's performance at all. They don't seem to be one of the favourites for this title. However there is no rule like the favourite teams always win of course. But my favourite team for this title are absolutely Brazil. They have been incredible so far. I don't see any European team better than them for now. France might be the closest.
We can't make early predictions, none thought that Italy will go out of the qualifiers. Things happened in the opposite way. Portugal have got an opportunity, and it is great that Ronaldo who had appeared in all the World Cup since 2006 have got the chance to win World Cup. Because Ronaldo and Messi being titled on different leagues weren't able to win a world cup. This time one amongst can make history.

I'll share my view, once seeing the news my girl said my next child's name needs to be Will Smith if it is a boy and Pinkett if it is a girl. My wife found him as a hero, because he did this out of love. If she knows about the project she might suggest to invest which is the hard reality. This is not about the profit, but for some reason.
2445  Economy / Economics / Re: Sanction is the right option? on: April 03, 2022, 06:07:48 PM
I think that the sanctions are not having the correct effect or at least the expected one.

There is much debate about whether sanctions have the same effect as were supposed before they were imposed. But the undisputed fact remains that russia is just running out of money, which is very good. They can shout as much as they want that they have the best army, but when there is no money for daily needs and store shelves becomes empty, it is somehow difficult to think about financing the creation of new tanks and missiles.
Relations between Russia and China are getting better during times of war like this, so I think from an economic point of view, Russia has calculated the risks, especially since we know that China is very strong in terms of the economy. There are daily necessities in stores, almost there are products from China, even the products are almost needed all over the world. besides that china is also willing to buy oil from russia on the last news i saw
Russia tries to bypass the sanctions from the Western nations. Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov have been making visits to different countries to make talks on import and export. Initially he made talks with China and it looks like China is ready to import and export from Russia. Then it is India, based on the talks foreign minister Sergey Lavrov have said Russia is ready to provide anything India needs from Russia and no country will oppose the process as India is involved. For some time period Russia is in a situation to depend on Asian countries, because Western Nations won't easily take back the sanctions.

Bangladeshi players won't be able to return in the game. The target isn't so much. But they are showing pathetic batting performance. Only few overs were left for the day 4. The openers should have saved their wickets. I was expecting a draw at least. It won't be possible anymore. Perhaps, Bangladesh will be all out in the first season of tomorrow. They may longer the game to second season, but they won't be able to comeback in match.
Bangladesh was in a great position as they were able to restrict South Africa at a low score and the target is not that big, but they already lost their top three and the match depends upon how long Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das can bat in the final day. If they are planning to go on a defensive mode then South Africa will pack them before the first two sessions but hopefully they will go for the win rather than a defensive play.
Bangladesh should not go for the defensive approach. Scoring approach will help Bangladesh, because the score isn't big. If Bangladesh manage to follow scoring approach it can reach 200 runs easily losing two more wickets. Surely this will transfer some pressure on South Africa. Maybe that can be used as the right moment to score and win the match. Anyhow these are all just predictions, and the reality is with South Africa's confident performance.

Delhi lost by 14 runs. And with the loss in this match, we have come to realize that the Delhi team is not very strong this season. Their batting lineup is not good enough. Top-order did not play well today, so Delhi lost. The middle-order players could play well but they did not have a good finisher team so that they lost the match. I have enough doubts whether Delhi will be in the top 4 of the table.
In this season we can't predict which team is going to be on the top four. In today's match Ferguson was the game changer taking the wicket of Prithvi Shaw, Mandeep, Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel. Every wicket fell at the right moment, Prithvi Shaw just started to play his regular opening shots. Then Mandeep wicket fall when he took responsibility and started to score little. Rishabh Pant lost his wicket when he kept the match alive and Axar caught out when he was giving hope of a win. Small mistakes have caused this loss and this will change in the upcoming matches.
2448  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's preventing bitcoin from worldwide adoption? on: April 02, 2022, 06:14:49 PM
All the mentioned points were preventing bitcoin from worldwide adoption. Region and the salary is much concerned when it comes to the low adoption. Everywhere people who earn good to are into bitcoin usage whereas the rest just wish to invest, but they weren't able to do it for different reasons. As said in one of the quote, half the world population is living with an earning of less than a dollar. For them what we're talking about is far.

Even now the unbanked population around the globe counts in billion. We're talking about bitcoin which is beyond banking. In terms of getting adoptive to bitcoin is easier than banks. Banks are financial service providing centres where support is given by persons. With bitcoin it is the technology that need to be learnt. In different countries this will vary, and the third world countries mostly stay on the top. So many similar factors affect the worldwide adoption, and to this it'll take atleast 30 more years.
2449  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your expectation on: April 01, 2022, 11:25:09 PM
If bitcoin is legal then there will be many restrictive rules, even I'm sure the government will set a bitcoin price which may be different from market conditions, but in general if it is legalized then this is good because it will make users feel safe and not worry about the future of bitcoin.
A government can't set a price they want and if this is possible then why no one can't predict the value of bitcoin? earning a profit will be much easier then. Bitcoin is not a fiat where someone can put if how much value they want but bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that is not controlled by someone else. Its value will depend only on the demand and supply.
Governments fear just because it can't be controlled as the centralized currencies that's been into circulation printed by the government based on the gold standard. With cryptocurrency like bitcoin people try to manipulate holding a good volume, beyond that it is the market that drives itself.
Bitcoin being legalized doesn't mean that they put some strict laws in it. Being legalized only means that buying and selling bitcoin is now allowed on that country. Regulation is what makes it safer while it can also make it more stricter. More legalization means more demand but we can't avoid the fluctuations and price decline sometimes.
Whenever a country legalise cryptocurrency it gives access to use the same. Some give limitations to be followed while using the same. It is upto the government and there is nothing to make a note connecting that governments will decide the value of bitcoin. When legalised it gives path for ease of usage which reflects in increased demand and the same might reflect in the price.

Panjab Kings    VS    Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata played well against Punjab Kings today. Batting first, Punjab Kings scored only 137 runs. I never thought that Kolkata bowlers would be able to stop a team like Punjab in such a short run. After that, Kolkata lost 4 important batsmen for only 51 runs. Then, with the help of Andre Russell's devastating innings of 70 off 31 balls, Kolkata scored 141 runs off just 14.3 balls. Despite playing well in the first match, Punjab's performance in today's match was very poor.

Andre Russel's devastating innings made it easy for Kolkata to win. However, Kolkata won the match for Umesh Yadav's superb bowling. He took 4 important wickets with only 23 runs in 4 overs. Agarwal, Livingstone, Harpreet and Rahul Chahar are all good batsmen. If they were at the crease, Punjab could not be stopped by just 137 runs. However, Kolkata's overall performance was good. My hope is that we will see Kolkata among the top 3 teams in the table.
This time there is tremendous performance from every team. The expected teams were losing the matches. Today KKR also lost consecutive wickets, but Andre Russell came at the right time and brought a winning for Kolkata Knight Riders. If KKR have lost two more wickets, the match would've gone very close. KKR winning the toss is also a reason for the win.
2451  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predicts Bitcoin price by 2025 on: April 01, 2022, 08:01:51 PM
2025 is the year after the next halving when only 3.125BTC will be generated per block. There will be a real supply shock then I predict & due to increased adoption & therefore increased demand the price will rocket. I think we’ll be over $200,000 per BTC by the end of 2025.
In connection to the ongoing adoption $200k is something realistic, but doesn't that affect the market. When something goes beyond certain limit, automatically it'll disturb or create something negative in the market. I'm not negative on the price prediction, but I have such a feeling. Because in the past when price used to mark new ATH, bitcoin is termed to a bubble.

A new Indo-Russian transaction platform may be up this week
https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/a-new-indo-russian-transaction-platform-may-be-up-this-week/articleshow/90551703.cms
"Russia's state-owned development bank VEB and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have likely finalized an alternative transaction platform to facilitate bilateral trade after Western sanctions firewalled Moscow's access to the globally used Swift banking platform, two people familiar with the matter told ET."
Possibly this will encourage more trade partnership to happen. This way more investments will also move into Russia from India than moving towards USA. Maybe Russia can practice similar approach with other countries too, which will devalue the price of USD. With this both the countries will be profit than using USD.

Russia have been trying to come out of the sanctions through his brave ideas, but this is just for now. In the long term surely they'll be in need of the swift system. On the other side west isn't able to handle the situation, so it hasn't revealed any statement. Some countries have opposed the pay in Rubles and Russia is with a never mind approach.
2454  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Russia Sanctions Will Spur the Adoption of Crypto and Reduce USD Dominance - IMF on: March 31, 2022, 07:29:41 PM
The dominance of USD will fall, still it serves as the reserve. The oil trade from Russia plays a big role in it. Another thing the trade support provided by Russia to its friendly countries. With India Russia have made talks to make trade on Ruble - Rupee which seems to be profitable for both the countries. Maybe on account of this USA might've warned India on oil trade with Russia.

Putin is very keen in making plans, and this will increase the usage of cryptocurrency. Same time this will increase the enemity of USA over Russia.

CSK  vs  LSG

What an outstanding performance by Evin Lewis! I would say that Lucknow has been able to win this match only because of his great batting. Lewis collected 55 runs from just 23 balls. His strike rate was 239.13. Moreover, Lucknow's innings started well. Rahul and De Kock's performance was good. Chennai has lost this match only because of inexperienced bowlers. They have used 7 bowlers in this match. But no bowler was able to bowl as well as expected.
Lack of bowlers is the core reason for the loss. Another incident that turned the match is the easy catch drop of Quinton De Cock by Moen Ali. If that was caught Lucknow Super Giants would've struggled atleast a little to create a good opening partnership. Anyhow Lucknow is quite confident with their bowling and batting, that is reason why they took bowling even after winning the toss.
2456  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How safe it is to invest in cryptocurrency on: March 31, 2022, 06:44:10 PM
If all cryptocurrencies, it is clear that investing in them carries great risks. Even many investment experts avoid cryptocurrencies, plus the many scam projects and useless tokens make cryptocurrency a ponzi paradise (although there are some good cryptos and have real use cases).
Other than the trusted top order cryptocurrencies there is always risk with cryptocurrency investment. As mentioned more number of traditional stock investors never look for the cryptocurrency investment. In recent months this has changed and more traditional investors have turned towards cryptocurrency investment. One such happened with the statement of Goldman Sachs terming bitcoin to compete gold as a store of value, years back bitcoin was termed as a ponzi by Goldman Sachs.

With time changes have been taking place with the network, so is with the investors who once revealed negative thoughts about bitcoin.

Not just the businessmen and women. These days all levels of people are connected to the internet and majority are aware of the cryptocurrency. Wealth is small part of life, there is more other things that need to be concentrated as a human. Bitcoin gives freedom, privacy and there is no depreciation of value and more can be added. However this isn't gonna make a human being live his life.

For this reason first thing I want to teach is the Self reliance which is a must for survival. With time it is possible to see people with money, but there might arise a scenario where we lack food. So, if he's good enough to fulfill his needs he can survive and enjoy the wealth. So it is all about self reliance than technology.

With a population of more than 98 million the country getting into the plans of developing framework for the legalised usage of bitcoin shows that there is more countries getting into cryptocurrency from Asia against the western nations. It is the country to show interest on bitcoin adoption even before most of the growing countries.

Every country wants to enjoy the good thing of bitcoin, but they lack the proper framework. Maybe within the next few months we can expect Vietnam getting added to the list of crypto friendly countries list.

All will be settle on proper discussion if Indian citizens will create a forum about this issue and raise the idea about lowering down the taxes taken from them for sure government will consider since no one will push this if many of their citizens will disagree about future implementation since the politician who push this will be in bad shape in terms on his political career. So I guess their citizens who use crypto should settle this so that the government could see their disagreement towards this huge taxation to them.
Petition on Cryptocurrency Tax

Number of people that have signed the petition seems to be very low considering the population and the growth of cryptocurrency network within the country. People need to make additional measures for the same.

Russia should take some measures to support the sporting people in the country. To increase the usage of Rubles it tried a way, and it was good for them against the fall of ruble value. Most of the sports people will be practicing to meet international events. With the suspension of Russia from majority of the sports events the players won't be able to make themselves strong. So, as a support Russia need to think of conducting more events within the country so to keep themselves prepared and not to let the players down.
