It's usually the confidence of the fighter that is affected after experiencing losses but he has the confidence, it's why he is still up for one more time with Kattar. Both looks to have a fair record, I hope Max will win this time.
If you look at the fight against Alexander Volkanovski even though the second fight was close he was not confident in close range and trade shots while in the past he usually comes inside the pocket and would dare the opponent to trade shots and he usually comes out wearing down the opponent but  Alexander Volkanovski had a game plan to wear down his legs in the first fight and he followed the same game plan in the rematch as well.

The limited fans in the arena news might only be for marketing and clickbait. Those fans might only be the fighters’ coaching staff, family and friends who are invited by private plane by Dana.
UAE and the middle east has some filthy rich fight fans and i bet the ticket charges will be really high for the event.
2522  Economy / Speculation / Re: $80k within 6 weeks, new ATH October 2021 on: January 07, 2021, 11:49:26 PM
Think more like 2013 with a big peak early in the year and then a consolidation leading into another $200k+ rally at the end of the year.  The current rally feels like it has too much momentum to be stopped before $70-80k.
I like these speculation and if the momentum continues we might reach targets which were considered impossible in this short period of time but you need to understand that institutional investments is one of the major reason for the rally and you cannot predict when they will be booking their profit, once they start booking their profit, the market will come down drastically. Until then enjoy the perils of the rally and make sure you book your profit in time  Wink.

BTC Bitcoin just  crossed $40,100 in today and fuw days bitcoin price moving $50,000 just buy and hold hold  its big signal to bitcoin moon in this time just buy and hold bitcoin and hold long time and high return in your money , Bitcoin  Big potential coin in crypto market its big and safe investment
The price started its rally below $10,000 and now it touched $40,000 and i will not advice anyone to invest when the market is rallying and it has gained over 500% in the past one year alone and you cannot expect a similar kind of rally from this price. If you can take the risk no one is stopping you from riding the market but i will be stepping away until the rally settles down before investing.

I am not going to disagree with your statement, but in international cricket, the emphasis is on ODI and test matches. Most of the teams play less number of T20Is, when compared to ODIs. The fact is that Babar Azam played a less number of T20 matches (both international and franchise) and that was the reason why he was not considered for a slot in the T20 team.
Last two years most of the teams played more T20 international and every tour there was a T20 series consider every team was preparing for the T20 World Cup.

Babar Azam did not play much T20 Internationals last year but he scored 4 half centuries in the 5 matches he played and in the PSL he was the top scorer of the tournament and he is probably the highest run scorer in T20 last year.
2525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: January 07, 2021, 04:24:51 PM
^  Yup..  Kattar is a step down in competition for Holloway.  I know people could say that Holloway is 1 - 3 in his last 4 matches.  But who did he lose to?  Beast mode Poirier and two close fights vs Volk.  The second one lost due to bad judging imo.

On the mental side of things, dunno...  But if I get a good price on Holloway, I’m going for him.  Kattar’s line did look good at 2.50.  It’s at 2.35 or worse now in most books.
The problem i see with the career with Max Holloway was that he was riding a good career and he was touted as a long reigning champion but he was confident that he could move up in weight and defeat the top Lightweights which started his downfall, first he tried to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov but he messed up while cutting weight and then he fought Dustin Poirier and the beating he took in that fight might have being his downfall when he fought Alexander Volkanovski.

Calvin Kattar is a good striker as well and it will be a great fight and the result depends upon the confidence of Max Holloway.

I guess the term "Big 3" first came in to picture a decade or so ago, when the heads of BCCI/ECB/CA (N Srinivasan/Giles Clarke/Wally Edwards) formed a cartel to monopolize cricketing revenues. It had nothing to do with the actual performance on the ground, but more to do with the money power.
You need to accept the fact that BCCI generate more money than any other board and hence they are elevated alongside ECB and CA , ECB was having complete control over ICC for a long time and then CA was able to become the power house because of their history during the formation and the biggest looser is South Africa who took the initiative in the beginning to form and unified body and they generate the most income after India.

What i am trying to tell is, CA and ECB has some power irrespective of the money they generate compared to the other cricket boards .

Saini is the new debutant on the list.
So Saini is making his debut and Rohit Sharma is back in the team. KL Rahul is out of the series with an injury and what happens if there is any other injury.
2527  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi female or men ? on: January 06, 2021, 11:49:58 AM
This question comes up in my mind once but I didn't convince that Satoshi is a female in gender.

Let me elaborate you on what content in the article in some important points and reason why women aren't in crypto and Satoshi isn't a female in gender.
  • Women are not interested in blockchain and cryptocurrency
  • Women are not skilled in investing in crypto
  • Blockchain companies are not women-friendly
  • Women don't occupy top positions in blockchain
  • Women cannot contribute to blockchain development

But in my assumption, Satoshi is a group of people.
First and foremost it is a bit silly to talk about gender in an online forum until some claim them as a particular gender, if anyone wants to attack you especially the woman's group the explanation you have given is quite sexist to be frank, you should not hand them the stone to throw at you is my opinion.

If you have not heard about it, there is a Women in Blockchain collaboration, just to give you a head start regarding that  Wink.

So group of womens ? Or some men some women ?
Or all men ?
Does it even matter, after gender then race will be the next curious point of identification Tongue. The creator wanted anonymity and hence he/ she/ third is still a ghost and there is no meaning in discussion about it.

What do you people think of the XRP price after the lawsuit?
I have my opinions well before the lawsuit and it is not surprising and i wont be surprised if the rest of the coins gets into the same issue, the problem right now is that the institutional investors who invested heavily especially Tetragon Financial Group and Grayscale will be selling all of their assets and that will drive the price further down and with some of the exchanges delisting them, it is bound to doom and will slip down further.
2529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: January 05, 2021, 07:37:30 PM
Yes, you are right but the ICC seems to be blind to this issue. Teams such as West Indies, Pakistan and Sri Lanka were being regarded as some of the best test sides two decades ago. In just one or two decades the situation changed upside down. There is no single reason for the downfall of these teams. In each case, it is a combination of multiple factors. But it is really tragic, to see once powerful teams performing so poorly.
West Indies dominated world cricket during 70s  80s and 90s but after that they could not replicate the amount of success because they were not able to replicate the level of world class players they had, Pakistan had some good players in the late 80s and 90s but now they are just a shell of their past and they usually produced world class bowlers and they could not find quality bowlers and Sri Lanka started dominating in the mid 90s under Arjuna Ranatunga and it continued late in 2000s but now they are finding it hard to find quality players.
2530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: January 03, 2021, 07:54:16 PM
Even if he changed his batting style from this past still he is not successful with scoring runs which is more important than anything in cricket. There are lot of young talent is waiting for years so giving too much if chances even after back to back losses will create chaos in the dressing room. Hope the deserved one will be given chance.
If that is the case KL Rahul is the only player to get a chance to play in the current squad while the rest of the players got their chances because some of the players are injured and Virat Kohli taking a parental leave. Rohit Sharma flew to Australia to join the squad even though he is returning from injury shows that the BCCI is not having any other young players that could make a debut for India Wink.
2531  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dash says they are not a privacycoin on: January 03, 2021, 06:50:47 PM
So, for years Dash team was saying that they are better than Monero and other privacycoins, now they are saying that "their privacy is not better than in Bitcoin"  Grin

How do you feel about that? Do you want to invest in a project that puts compliance with regulators above their own declared principles? Or do you think that this is just a tactical lie to return the lost liquidity and its all okay?
Even though it is a complete U turn on their business plans and portraying themselves as the privacy coin in the past they want to survive with the increased scrutiny by the authorities and it is not a big surprise that the privacy coins will be under attack by the authorities and i was expecting them to force the exchanges to delist them for their survival and now the Dash team want to change their marketing strategy to survive, if not they will be forced to go underground and the price will be affected and team wants to avoid that.
2532  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum May Surpass Bitcoin’s Market Cap in the Next 10 Years on: January 03, 2021, 03:49:34 PM
There's a big possibility that it could happen, every year so many things are happening in the industry, it's very important for new and old  investors to follow the market and the industry, there will be new technology coming up and old projects going down, it's probably the best time to be here and be part of this technology, we are shaping the future.
The main point is that there is a big possibility of changes in the industry as it keeps on changing and with regulators finally looking to clamp on the free market and we now know how the SEC went after Ripple and that can happen to any other coin that collected money from investors without the authorities permission and ETH during its initial phase collected funds to launch their project and it will have an impact on the market if the authorities comes down hard on them as majority of the scams were carried out using the ETH platform.

Rohit Sharma is 33 years old, and till now he has played only 32 test matches (now compare this to 87 matches for Virat Kohli, 79 for Cheteshwar Pujara, and 67 for Ajinkya Rahane). So obviously he is not that experienced in the longer format. But his test record is not that bad. He averages 46.54 with the bat, which is comparable to Pujara/Rahane. 
It is true that he averages 46.54 in Test matches but if you break down his performance and look at his average outside India it is a mere 26.32 with a highest score of 79 runs which includes 3 ducks.

His outstanding performance came when South Africa toured India in 2019 where he score 3 centuries and one was a double century and in his last series against Bangladesh he failed miserably and his average in Australia Rohit Sharma played 10 innings and he was able to cross half century only twice and his average is 31. These are the stats and what difference can he make depends upon how he is able to rebound from injury and rewrite the history books and his below average stats in Test.

he was an average player but compared to the young openers who failed miserably then he is the only choice for replacement now.
I would like to see them give more opportunities to Mayank Agarwal and what i spotted is his changed batting stance from his last tour and i noticed this because i was watching some videos in social media and i was able to see someone making a comparison of his different batting stance.
2534  Economy / Economics / Re: NFL Player Salary Paid in Bitcoin on: January 03, 2021, 01:04:01 PM
After reviewing some of Okung's tweets, he appears to be quite the bitcoin bull, and backing it up by requesting half his 2020 salary in bitcoin.
I thought the entire team was paid in BTCitcoin. I am not a big NFL fan and hence i am not aware of these players but it looks like an individual requested to get paid his salary in BTCitcoin and it is a good proposition but right now the market is rallying and what happens if the market goes down, so i think it is a risky proposal.

What i would do is get the money and then invest according to my choice but what i speculate is that he asked to get paid in BTCitcoin to reduce the tax implication and if that is the situation it is a smart move.

No excuses for Campbell, he needs to prove he is a real deal even if he is not an undefeated fighter, but you are right, Campbell hasn't been KO in his life as a boxer and this is a tough challenge but Ryan Garcia. I'm expecting this as a long fight, probably 12 rounds and it would be an excitement fight to watch since Campbell never backs down from any opponent, especially from a younger fighter.
Now the fight is over and Luke Campbell was stopped in the 7th round and it was a really interesting fight and a learning experience for Ryan Garcia as he was knockdown for the first time in his professional career and he even claimed after the fight that it was the first time he was knocked down in the second round and to come back from that situation and fighting through was astonishing and the major difference was the speed of Ryan Garcia.

The 5th round was great for Ryan Garcia as he started dominating the fight and the bell saved Campbell and he finished he fight in the 7th round.
So whats next for Ryan Garcia.
2536  Economy / Speculation / Re: All in the name of money making on: January 02, 2021, 11:54:39 PM
There was a time when I was a hard line altcoin hater, especially when it came to Ethereum. Over time it dawned on me: what does it matter if Ethereum isn't decentralized, or if it was pre-mined? The market clearly doesn't care, so why should I? Ethereum fills a market niche that Bitcoin will not and cannot fill.
I am not keen on the token market as well as the DeFi scene and i hated them and hardly invested anything in those markets for a long time and when i invested it burned my hands but i never hated the alt coin market altogether and everyone was exciting when Litecoin came into existence and it was a fun alternative and the rest of the other coins that came into existence were fun and not taken seriously and the introduction of ETH was really hyped and being a long time BTCitcoin user i registered again in the forum because i invested heavily during the initial ETH ICO.

The market clearly does not care whether the coin is decentralized or pre mined and so was the reason XRP was able to generate investors and now the authorities started chasing them and you should expect the same with other centralized coins and pre mined coins as well as privacy coins as the authorities will force the exchanges to delist those as well.
2537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - February 20 on: January 02, 2021, 10:31:24 PM
From my perspective, this fight was only made just to generate or make money because both of these people are popular people worldwide. Even Logan Paul isn't a professional boxer like Floyd Mayweather, Floyd still wanted to make a fight with Logan Paul, which he definitely doesn't stand a chance. I also don't think this fight will not generate that much money because it will be a waste of time since we already knew which of them will won the fight.
Logan Paul is not a professional boxer but the amount of money he is able to generate whenever he fights should have attracted Floyd Mayweather and so is the reason they are fighting in an exhibition match. This fight will not generate the amount of money he usually earns from other opponents but still i am sure he will be making millions for a few minutes work as there are fans that want to see no matter how boring he fights Cheesy .
2538  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin gradually clinching to $40k on: January 02, 2021, 09:55:17 PM
I feel the bad consequence of  the current  fast price climbing could be that  many  small and middle size BTC holders would  falter and dump while whales would continue to accumulate through  bull run seasons making Bitcoin distribution too narrow. It might "play  Old Harry" with  Bitcoin. I tend to hold  and accumulate till 100 K at least.
The institutional investors are having a grip on the market and we will see the market rally as long as they invest and they could manipulate the market with the level of investment they are pouring in and i wonder what happens when they plan to book their profit. The market will go for a major correction when that happens and curiously watching the market as it breaks all the resistance with ease.
2539  Economy / Economics / Re: Life is debt on: January 02, 2021, 03:40:09 PM
Even the planet earth gravitation is a debt we can not leave from the earth becouse we have a gravitation debt.
I do not gravitate according to your philosophy of life and we owe nothing to gravitation, every mass attracts and gravitational force is not centered around earth, it is an universal reality  Tongue.

Its not even funny but whole universal law is based on business in other words the mean of very essence of Life is based on business rules.
The are many who focus on living their lives on making money and then there are others who have other philosophies in life.
Just to give you an example, have you heard about Aghori, who live their life as Shaiva sadhus who leave every worldly processions and their family and close relatives and live a contrasting life than the money mongers and they even feed on dead corpses.

Life is complex and there are much bigger things than money and business and you can find people if you open your eyes Wink.

Business was here even before we are even born.
There is more about this topic but im not going into this!
I will cite another example, have you heard about Sentinelese tribe who do not have any contact with the outside world and once upon a time everyone lived like nomads who hunt for their every meal, so everything is not about business Wink.

That loopholes will be the big test for Garcia, if Campbell able to penetrate on that portions he may bring Garcia to the next level of streght, knowing that each fighters have their own weak side, they need to comply properly  to avoid making a mistake and open their guard. Campbell needs to exposed and make something that may lead him to got the killer blow.
The interest i have in this fight is to see how Garcia will deal with the situation if he is not able to knockout Campbell as no one has never knocked out Campbell in his career and he has the experience and being a Olympic gold medalist he is the toughest opponent in Garcia's young career. All we have seen till now is Garcia dominating his opponents but what happens if he is not able to implement his game plan like the rest.

Hopefully Campbell recovered from Covid but i doubt it will be an issue for him as it takes a much long time to recover and his endurance and stamina will be affected.
