The crypto market is unpredictable. People who are into the cryptocurrency try to spread positivity rather than negative news about the market. Considering the previous year growth there'll be some break for the bearish move. The best players of the market consider it the time for investing more, whereas the rest starts to panic thinking whether the market will recover or not.

With hope the influencers make predictions, but the market has outlawed the predictions. Possibly now certain people's prediction have come true with which we can understand who has does the true study about the market than making random predictions.

The platform should be good enough with all sort of games. Along with the same, it should also give KYC free gambling access. Nowadays most of the platforms request KYC. Licensing is more important, and there needs to be some authority that go through and give some certification apart from the licensing. Because, these days getting a licence is out of money and not out of perfect development.

Surely they have not good time because it's happen after SENA defeats but never mind because now Sri Lanka is coming and after them Australia is also having tour with this all many players will be back in good form at home and give some extraordinary performance because nothing is good then home.

Pujara and Rahane is also going to shine against Sri Lanka and with this performance they are going to have spot against Australia with someone already mention in above post these Senior Players having some good hold on things which are happening in team, so I am feeling there is no good chance for new emerging players for having spot in team but their dedication and love for sport can give them some better result in near future because every thing is going to change.

This is worrying sign for Indian cricket that they are very easily defeated by SA team who was no way a match to Indian team. India defiantly will perform best at there soil since they have ideal conditions there. India really need some backup of there mandatory players like kohli,  Pujara and Rahane. If these players have backup then they will focus on there game which is not the case right now.

The Indian team is going through a very bad phase same result in a different format. I never expected them to lose so easily if they bat well then they will bowl bad and vice versa. 287 was not at all a bad score but the Indian bowlers were not able to take wickets. Malan and De Kock were at their best once again. They both are the reason why South Africa are now leading this series by 2-0.
Yes, once again South African players getting back to form. India never thought it'd loss the series. Once after the first match India made themselves well prepared for the second ODI, but things happened same as that happened with the test series. India managed to score 287 runs, but South Africa scored the same with much confidence as every player are in a state of taking responsibility and fulfilling it.

The lowering of interest rates against the prevailing high inflation is termed to be the core reason for the ongoing financial crisis. The country being 21st largest economy of the world can come out of the crisis, but it won't be a immediate thing to get changed. With a population of around 90million it has got good economic conditions. Some wrong decisions have caused it, and bitcoin could help positively if adopted. But, the chance is very minimal and the rise of cryptocurrency users have increased over time within the country.

Russia serves to be an important location for mining after the ban from China. Recently Kazakhstan also experiencing difficulties on cryptocurrency mining. Most of them into the cryptocurrency mining prefer for a regulation and taxation on mining than a complete ban.

Hardly anyone among my friends are following these matches. And although the matches are being streamed live, I haven't bothered to watch either. Simply, there is too much cricket around. The Ashes just got finished, and the Indian tour of South Africa is going on. On top of that there are several other bilateral series (for example the West Indies vs Ireland), apart from the Big Bash League. It is really hard to follow all the action. I used to be an avid watcher of BBL matches, but this time I haven't followed the league.

There is too much cricket all around and that's primary reason why we have lost interest in WC U19. Even bilateral series are no more watched by majority, just final scores are checked at the end of every match. I guess for IPL only the whole cricket stops and that's why it has huge viewership.
Yes, too much cricket and the leagues gaining importance is the major reason why there is loss of interest over Test cricket and ODI in particular. In this year everyday we've got cricket, and people who are attached to it keep watching unlike the teams. However a large viewership have decreased. Few years back people used to watch ODI from the toss to the end of the match. Later after IPL emergence I used to see people watching it over the smartphones while on travel through public transports.
2730  Economy / Speculation / Re: Cryptocurrency status at the beginning of the year on: January 18, 2022, 08:18:14 PM
I would say this is the case every single year, last week of the year and beginning of the year has always been bearish but I don't think we need to worry much because bitcoin has found stability around $40k and we have to worry only if bitcoin drop further and unable to touch $40k mark for over a week. We may or may not experience bull run like last time but definitely we will see gradual improvement if bitcoin manages to stay above $40k for a while.
What's mentioned is the indication. If the price drops down to $40k, then it'll take time for recovery. There is good momentum around $40k, however the price has been declining gradually and now it has come down to $42k. Around a week back similar move happened and slowly took phase and reached $43k. We can't get into conclusion about the market, because the real trend hasn't started.

As in the above post when greed accompanies automatically the end will be big loss. If the same happens with gambling then it could cause bankruptcy. With trading it is always good to go with the right coins and if you're holding some potential altcoins with very slow growth, then you should be able to make some minimal profit out of the market fluctuations than waiting for large margin. Following this one can stand out of big losses even when invested on unpopular altcoins.

Vending machine with next level innovation. It means the innovation is for the future. None could've thought of such an innovation using bitcoin. Something special about the vending machine is its portable feature. It can be installed anywhere. Global population is getting used to cryptocurrency, and business people are innovating to make people spend bitcoin giving real-time usability access.

These users might've gambled good amount and now they might've lost big. Out of mental pressure they are making allegations against Stake. Gamblers need to be responsible, because what we do is completely risk involved. Here things can be positive as well as negative, we need the mind to accept it.

Myself experienced similar thing. During the beginning days of Stake I lost big out of gambling and I even requested the team can you please give atleast a small part of what I've lost. The support people clarified, they are not in a situation and you need to be mor responsible while you're into gambling. Finally they said, if required we can help you take a break. That is how I managed and it happens with users mistake and throw allegations over the platform.
2734  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bought my vitamins with Bitcoin on: January 17, 2022, 03:41:05 PM
Well, buying vitamins with BTC is very useful, in fact I have been talking with several friends who have commercial, clothing, food stores, that it would be excellent if they can accept cryptocurrencies and BTC, but what I have realized is that the Most people do not know the technology very well, nor do they know that it represents money and that if this money is left in terms of BTC or cryptocurrency it can increase the value, when I speak to them that way they become more interested, obviously I tell them that the opposite can happen.

Myself too discussed with friends who are into different businesses. Very few have known and used it, but they have never thought of adding it as a form of payment. The rest aren't much aware and if they make a single transaction they'll understand well. Everyone are educated and good to used technology applications. When I insisted on adding it as a payment, they fear of the government. Usage isn't legalized nor regulated, so if government make any immediate plans this could trouble their business. This is what they feel, hope such thoughts will change with time.
2735  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will cryptos go into Bull season? on: January 17, 2022, 01:10:07 PM
If bitcoin wasn't able to withstand the $40k support the price will reach $38k. We can get to know this within coming week, because today the price seems to drop than fluctuating.

Altcoins have dependence over bitcoin, so without doubt the market trend of bitcoin will be followed. Crypto will move into bull season, but at this moment everyone are with panic. Whether to invest or wait for an opportunity. Maybe if some positive news push the market automatically the trend could change.
2736  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should we sell all crypto now? on: January 17, 2022, 12:11:43 PM
The market hasn't turned completely bearish. Over the last two Weeks the market is bearish, which means the price of bitcoin drove downwards from the price around $46k during the start of the year. Finally it was staggering between $41k to $43k. We don't know what move is gonna happen further, but following the bitcoin trend there were bear move with altcoins.

Experts advice to book profit with top listed altcoins and wait for buying low as top altcoins are major support system to the rest of the cryptocurrencies.

There is continued progress with Ireland team. Even against the top teams they've managed to play good cricket. One is the win against South Africa, next is the win on T20 match against Bangladesh. Most of the time matches played used to be so close giving hard competence. Sometimes it looks like lack of experienced players leading to loss of the match. Anyhow in this series, the second match is the turning point. If the match was played full, the result might've changed. Possibly by the next world cup it will be a game changer.
2738  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Crypto bans are temporary, we are on the right side of history. on: January 17, 2022, 08:16:06 AM
This maybe temporary but unless people will push the usage and the adoption in their own countries there will be opening for that banning to uphold .
because the world now is getting online and internet is the best way to make transactions and also Bitcoin and crypto is in the edge of that adoption .
but without our help? this will never come to reality so best if we will act as one and let the world know about crypto and what this can bring to everyone .

I think the same, the prohibitions I consider to be temporary, just thinking that a country like El Salvador adopted BTC, and now the other countries are studying a regulatory model for the acceptance of BTC, that is something that they already consider as one of the priorities that no one should be left out, I knew more than 3 years ago that the time would come that BTC would be adopted by many people in the world, and developed countries will begin to do so, some have already been doing stablecoin projects, but everything certainly leads to BTC.

End of the day if those stablecoins developed doesn't lead towards bitcoin, then it is completely digital form of cash without any features of cryptocurrency. We've been getting more news about the adoption of bitcoin. However we can't expect big just because of El Salvador adopted it. Major reason why it is an easy thing for El Salvador, the population as well as there is no national currency. Countries won't let their national currency, so to safeguard the national currency countries will consider ban. When people are much associated with it, governments will give consideration as a alternate asset.
2739  Economy / Economics / Re: Doctors fear health care collapse amid omicron surge on: January 17, 2022, 03:27:46 AM
A greater quantity of COVID driven healthcare demand coupled with higher strain on existing healthcare. Could result in scarcity which will inevitably drive healthcare prices even higher. If the united states thought healthcare was expensive pre COVID crisis. I can't imagine how much worse conditions could potentially deteriorate post COVID crisis.
Government should consider this, beyond that it isn't possible to keep things under control. More than 85% of the people hold a medical insurance, so unlike the price they receive the treatment. Now the government need to focus on the remaining 15% who seems to homeless and unaffordable. If the government plan well, it can be solved.
While certainly the worst case scenario is bad enough. It could also trigger a resurgence of home remedies and snake oil medical treatments. Due to people not being able to afford medical care. Faith healers, alternative health movements and holistic remedies could all make a strong resurgence.
Even now people are much into home remedies than reaching a hospital for the treatment. This is not because people aren't able to afford, this is just returning back to the old days of traditional healing. I'm not sure of what is the scenario in US. In my country people are getting used to it and not to faith healers.

Cryptocurrencies, I think could be developed to improve healthcare in the united states and worldwide. There are many obvious steps to improve healthcare. People taking steps to exercise more and be healthier would go a long way towards making healthcare more affordable for all. As would people refraining from drug and substance abuse. These are not necessarily issues for government to solve. But has more to do with choices made on an individual level.
Right now cryptocurrencies can't do anything to improve the healthcare network. Because, everything needs to be done in a much secure way than anything traditional. Maybe if governments weren't interested in doing it, corporate networks could collaborate and find a solution.

High numbers of americans drive across the border to mexico every year to receive healthcare treatments at greatly discounted prices. That is probably the best option many have to receive affordable heatlhcare. But surely we can do better than that?
This is happening with almost every country. For now it is Americans driving to Mexico. Over the Asian continent, it is India where people travel for healthcare.

One of the oldest exchange poloniex used to provide lending service. It is much trustworthy, but as you're into privacy concern it doesn't suits you. The interest will be calculated based on the borrower credit using the poloniex platform. I haven't used this service and this isn't available for US customers.

Better choice is to lend your holdings through our forum, because using an escrow in exchange for some collateral. This can bring you some passive income as well the collateral serves as security for the amount.
