In comparison with the previous bull market of the year 2017 he have predicted the market. No one knows how the market movement takes place. As per the ongoing market moves there is very minimal chance for a massive bear market. However the reasons indicated have got the ability to make the market bearish as well as bullish.

Over the previous year the market experienced its ATH when I the entire world is suffering out of pandemic. In specific when the world market is in the decline, cryptomarket boomed. This time the pandemic and the political war urge between different nations are causing decline in the market. What the co-founder of huobi said have begun to happen with today's price decline reaching down to $37500.
2602  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banning Bitcoin is Like Banning the Internet, Says Russia’s Finance Minister on: February 21, 2022, 06:01:05 PM
When it is seen from outside it looks like a threat. When one starts using it, people start understanding the need for it and the true power. With internet this has been experienced and the internet changed the world making anything possible from any corner of the world. Now in the financial ecosystem the same is being done by bitcoin along with other cryptocurrencies. Maybe the service available out of cryptocurrencies were also available with fiat, but how it happens vary between the two. This is why more countries prefer making it an alternate than banning it.
2603  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake Wagered $1.3 million in super bowl bet using bitcoin on: February 21, 2022, 12:52:20 PM


I am more on the idea that Drake posted this as spur-of-the-moment thing.
Not asking or anything on that regard to promote the casino involved.
But with the publicity that stake got from Drake. Who knows, stake is already thinking of getting Drake as part of their celebrity endorsers?
For his followers, they should definitely think if they can follow his lifestyle because not many can bet such amount without the possibility of losing it all.

I don't recommend Stake to get Drake as one of their endorsers, Drake has a gambling problem he can bet a huge amount of money because he still can make a lot of money as a concert artist and he also admitted that he has a gambling problem, it's against what Stake.com preaches in their TOS about responsible gaming.

if he has gambling problems then he will ruin his reputation, mental health and with that he will drag the stake along, I think it would not be beneficial for the stake. I don't follow the lives of these singers much, but do you know when he started to have these problems with gambling? I want to understand if he already had this problem with gambling before he had a lot of money or if he acquired this problem after having a lot of money

Only thing I find wrong with these gamblers is misleading common people to think of luck. The popular ones have made millions and from that a small portion is being spend on fun/entertainment. These people never get into addiction, and even if they're addicted this won't make a big impact on their living. Common public just follow and try to be lucky, which at times make people end up bankrupt.
2604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: February 21, 2022, 04:32:03 AM
That is a fact, it is difficult to introduce a new sport in a busy world like today and people do not have the patience to learn a new sport. I started following the sport to place a bet and then this forum is the only space where i talk about Cricket as none of friends knows about the game. If the sport is included in the Olympics then we have a chance to see some interest from the government to introduce the game so that they can win a medal, other than that, ICC can only spend money and they will not get the desired results like some speculate.

Introducing a new sport takes may take many decades to have a real impact. The most basic requirement is Olympic inclusion. If a particular sport is not included in the Olympics, then the governments don't have any incentive to support it. And this is exactly the reason why countries such as China and Russia ignore cricket completely. And the ICC is least bothered in getting Olympics included in the Games. Now they are saying that it maybe possible by 2032. And ten years later, they will claim that they will push for the inclusion in 2042. This sort of delaying tactics will go on forever.
It is the International Cricket Council that hasn't submitted an application for the inclusion of cricket into the Olympics. Cricket has been played in the 1900 Olympics with the participation of Great Britain and France. Till date that match stands to be the first and last cricket match played in Olympics. Further there is no countries to participate and the cricketing teams shrunk compared to rest of the games though it has got billions of followers.

So some of you might be aware about the ongoing truckers protest in Canada or so called Freedom Convoy against the fully vaccinated measures by Justin Trudeau.The truckers are protesting against this and beleive it to be monopoly and have put restrictions to their trade between the busy American-Canadian border Ambassadors Bridge.They need to be Fully vaccinated or they have to go through 14 days quarantine period which is what the protest are going for.


https://i.imgur.com/1GJWcLN.jpg

i am a person who supports vaccination but does not support mandatory vaccination, especially to the point of having to close the bank accounts of all truck drivers! it's really inhumane.  hopefully bitcoin adoption can happen quickly, so people can live free from authoritarian governments.
Yes, vaccination can be advised. Whether to take the shot or not needs to be decided by the user and not by the government. The democracy have failed in Canada. It is a country where the President Justin Trudeau is highly supportive to the people in all ups and down. Now with this issue he have been under hatred. This can affect his political life. Canada is at 5th position among the list of democratic country, but the same taking control of users account is against democratic rule.

Anything can happen over the course of 1 year or less but 2+ years
is another thing. If he can stay injury free he will still be a major force but there
are a lot of players developing their game and 2+ years of development is huge,
so I will go with a 50/50 chance.
The chances weren't 50-50. I'm sure he'll loss, more and more young players are making their entry. He's a legend, no doubt in it. With such a long break and getting on track isn't an easy thing. Even now the players who are around the age of 35 is ruling the tennis world. This won't work for a long, because those are days which were much on tricks and techniques along with stamina. Nowadays the practice and the body strength has a major role as young players give hard competence.

You are a citizen of Venezuela and living in that same country since you have an interest in bitcoin mining you ought to know the general law surrounding cryptocurrency and how the governments taking a stand in enforcing its law on businesses most especially cryptocurrency-related business and what is the electricity supply and how are the charges.
Bitcoin is legal within Venezuela, and it is one among the country that have got massive bitcoin users. At present Venezuela suffers economic crisis and unemployment. For now bitcoin mining gives them way to earn due to the low electricity cost of 0.06 cents per kWh. As in one of the quote, governments are highly corrupt and the police officials loot from the public. Often there comes seize of mining machines, but that happens as a result of illegal running without proper business proposal. Apart people are getting used to save on bitcoin and spend their value less Bolivar.

Everyone waiting for the official announcement. Myself checked with the email and hasn't received any information regarding the bonus. Anyhow the past bonus got missed as Israel Adesanya wasn't able to finish the match earlier. Myself placed a bet looking for a triple win, but it was just a win. Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy. This time Watford won't make Stake users get disappointed.
2609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 20, 2022, 06:15:06 PM
^^ Point taken but hardly a early stage because points distribution system is based on match percentage, not series and also if we look at fixtures then Pakistan and SL are playing (5) majority of their series in subcontinent, which is favorable condition to them so one would expect them to perform well in subcontinent in comparison to SENA countries.


Indian squad for 2 test series against Sri Lanka

* Ashwin's selection will depend on his fitness, he's injured atm.
* Surprisingly India went with tested combination of Jaddu-Ash and Axar-Washi are left out from the squad so it seems pitches are going to be pace friendly, makes sense as Lankan's spinners are no dummy.


Thank God Pujara and Rahane have been excluded from the test squad. It is now official that Rohit Sharma will now be the test captain for India. Axar patel replacement is Saurabh Kumar, he is also a left arm spinner. He has been playing well in  domestic cricket and that is why he was selected. Last I read Ashwin was still injured I am not sure why he was selected?
Exclusion of Pujara and Rahane isn't a good decision. This time the selection criteria is much focused on the young players, so that next set of players can be kept active for the test squad. As in one of the quote it is said about the opportunity provided. Every player selected must be given good rope of chances, unlike the performance. Only then it is possible to find the right player. Pujara and Rahane used to give a good starting, if the new players doesn't perform well they could've been brought in. This will help handle unwanted opening pressure.
2610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 20, 2022, 05:48:08 PM
India playing with a young team in the third T20 against West Indies and still winning the match by a good margin. I was watching the first 8 overs of the match and i did not expect them to score above 180 runs but Suryakumar Yadav played a really great innings along with Venkatesh Iyer and the young talents are showing up every now and then and hopefully they will get matches consistently rather than once in a full moon.
It was the same decision from West Indies as the previous match to bowl first after winning the toss. In the previous match it had the highest chance of winning, because they've lost only three wickets. This time the wicket loss has taken place continuously. Same as the previous match Pooran and Powell kept the match alive for some time. Should've been a winning match for West Indies. Anyhow this series looks like a practice session for West Indies to face England by the upcoming month.
2611  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How I convinced a Stock Trader to Invest in Bitcoin on: February 20, 2022, 03:52:13 PM
@OP did his best in explaining bitcoin to his uncle and so far, he's been successful and continues to provide the latest updates on what's happening in the crypto market. That is not easy to convince someone, especially if his uncle is a stock trader because many have bad opinions about bitcoin.

But luckily, his uncle was receptive to his explanation and willing to learn more about bitcoin, which made it easier for @OP to explain what he knew. This will allow @OP and his uncle to discuss crypto and the market further, and I'm sure they can learn together.
With the ongoing adopting of Bitcoin worldwide? i don't think traders from different areas will still deny that crypto investing is profitable so yes they are now considering this to be their investment tools aside from their normal ways like stocks or real estate ..
Sooner or later, those traders will realize that bitcoin can be profitable for them as long as they know how to treat bitcoin. They now only often hear bad news about bitcoin so some of them don't want to see the potential of bitcoin for them. Maybe traders from other regions will still deny the potential of crypto but that is not the case for traders who are always looking for loopholes to make profits. After all, they will always try to profit because they are traders.
Traders always look for ways to profit, but everyone won't be having the mentality to be into cryptocurrency. Most of the time stock traders want to be on the safer side, maybe they find it a gamble than a trade. Anyhow this isn't late to get into the market and make good profit. Comparison to the revenue out of a stock investment and a top cryptocurrency is more than enough to make one understand the potential.
2612  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or altcoins on: February 19, 2022, 06:44:38 PM
It all depends on the users self interest and the experience investing on cryptocurrencies. For users who have profited investing on altcoins will never look for bitcoin investment, because the profit out of altcoins is very big against the profit from bitcoin. This won't happen with every altcoins, and users needs to be lucky enough to enjoy such profits. For early investors bitcoin will be the choice and for now it is altcoins in my view.
2613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: February 19, 2022, 05:49:11 PM

Currently, Bangladesh is in not good shape but still they have very good record against Afghanistan which is also good for them and now playing at home is another good advantage for them because at home they have very good record like beating Australia and New Zealand so right now most chances both teams having fair chance for winning these series of T20 and ODI.

For me here, Bangladesh is going with good chance to win because they have very good batsmen and Afghanistan is mostly depending on their bowling, and they have some space in batting which need to fix in future for having some better and fair chance against top ranked teams. But good thing despite many issues both teams are having some good matches for better experience and good exposure of game which will help them in long run.

In last two series at home against SL and WI, Bangladesh managed to win both of them by 2-1 and 3-0 respectively. So there is fair chance that Bangladesh can win ODI series against Afghanistan also. Afghanistan IMO is much better side then SL and WI, so Bangladesh need to be careful while playing against them.
Yes Afganistan is a very tough side to beat right now and for bangladesh it wont be easy to beat them. Comparing both sides head to head I feel both teams are pretty close and I would give a slight advantage to Bangladesh just because they play much more cricket against top playing nations and hance have more experience to perform during tough situations in a match.
Afghanistan is tough, but with the continuous winning Bangladesh will surely have upper hands over the series. Bangladesh have better experience playing against the top teams. Afghanistan cricket is growing good with time, maybe in few years time big teams will surely find it hard to play against them. Right now lack of experienced players is the only drawback which at times make an easy winning match go out of hands.
2614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why I can't access a casino while my country isn't got blacklisted? on: February 19, 2022, 09:57:50 AM
You can only play at physical casinos that are licensed in your country, and actually they are only for non-Muslims. Casino companies are more compliant with government regulations than religious laws, so they will continue to operate even in a Muslim-majority country as long as your government grants the license.
If I were him, I would try to play at physical casinos instead of online casinos because I think that will be safe for me and I do not break the rule of my government.

If you try to read again the case of the OP, He wants to play online Casino to have a privacy since his religion has a very strict law against gambling so his only option is to play online to avoid being caught by there religion officials.

The problem of OP is very hard to solve since he didn't mention his country and the name of Casino that he try to access so that we can verify if there's really a problem on the Casino or on his ISP. I believe the ISP is his problem since the government can regulate online gambling by banning all the online gambling site through ISP provider regulation.
The problem seems to be from the Internet Service Provider. Maybe with their help issue can be solved, but it looks like OP isn't interested to reveal his difficulty to access a specific gambling site. Apart from this there can also be issues with gambling platforms not allowing users to access from specific regions, here his country is not in the list. Then the option is to use mirror links provided by the gambling site. Every gambling sites doesn't provide it, but with Stake there is mirror links provided.

@coinism, The New Zealand women's team played really well and won the series against the Indian women's team with two matches to spare. I think it was a really dominating performance by the New Zealand women's team starting from the T20 actually.
They won the matches very convincingly in the end. Let's see if the Indian women's team can salvage something from this series.
We can't say Indian women's team is bad in its performance. In 49.3 overs India lost all the wicket scoring 279 runs. New Zealand batted second even after winning the toss. They played in a much steady manner from the very beginning of the match. Finally New Zealand won the match by the 50th over first ball. Scoring 280 runs, New Zealand have lost 7 wickets. Indian team will give the best in the upcoming days.
2616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 18, 2022, 05:15:46 PM
It was a big match for India, at the beginning it looked like a winning match for India. Once West Indies started its batting the winning turned towards West Indies. It was quite surprising to see Pooran and Powell make a good partnership. However the winning credit goes to Bhuvanesh Kumar who restricted West Indies batsmen to score just 4 runs in the 19th over. Finally India have won the match by 8 runs.
2617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 18, 2022, 04:18:10 PM
Second T20 match between India and the Westindies will be played today. The venue of this match is the same. Players to watch out Ravi Bishnoi and Venkatesh Iyer from the Indian side. I am sure India would like to win this match to win the series and Westindies would like to win it to level the series.
Again India are clear favorites to win this match and with it win the t20 series as well. I wanted to place bet on india but the odds are really less on India. Ravi bishnoi bowled really well in the first t20 match and he will do well again.
I am expecting virat to score some runs in this match may be a 50.

There have been 3 ODIs and one T20I match in this series and India has easily won all the matches. I don't expect any exceptions in this match either. India is in good form now. But I expect a good innings from India's top order. Especially from Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, I would expect a big innings.
187 runs, it is a big score. West Indies is playing good at the moment losing just two wickets. However the required run rate keeps increasing every over. I find there is more winning chance for West Indies if there is no further wicket fall. Virat Kohli's performance always play a big role in every match. This time too it is Kohli who had helped India reach 187 runs.

I also agree with this and these types of actions are against sportsman spirit. I think PCB should not allow these types of acts in the match and take strict actions like banning these players for 2 or more matches. Unless and until there is plenty for these acts, players will not refrain from doing these stupid things.

Ben and Sohail have old rivalry and this all started after Ben scored 27 runs in 19th over bowled by Sohail. 15% is just a peanut for both players. I think PCB is reluctant to take strict against the Australian player.

Interesting match going on b/w Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United. Islamabad are 50/0 as they are chasing a huge target of 207. A win here by Peshawar can take them to semi.
Peshawar have won the match, but this happened after strong fight from Islamabad United scoring 196 runs. From the beginning of the innings Islamabad kept the run rate, in between it got little disturbed. The same made Islamabad loss the match. In the last over Islamabad required 22 runs to win the match. The tail end batsmen managed to score 11 runs from the bowling of Ben Cutting.

I heard on the radio a little earlier Djokovic is going to sit out the French Open and Wimbledon instead of getting a jab.

Novak Djokovic willing to miss Wimbledon to avoid jab

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-60381628 (5 min video)

Quote
Novak Djokovic has revealed in an exclusive BBC interview that he is willing to miss Wimbledon to avoid having the Covid jab.

The Serbian tennis star told Amol Rajan that missing tournaments over his vaccine stance was a price he was "willing to pay".
Such mentality will create some negative impact among the common people about vaccine. There are various discussion regarding the vaccine to cause side effects, but people are getting used to it. In my country we're supposed to take two dose of vaccine at a time interval of 30 days and now once again a booster dose is being provided. There is no compulsion on vaccination, but people will surely have some negative thoughts when popular people take strong stance on the same.
