301  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: PROFIT must not be top priority in trading, instead of LEARNING first. on: March 10, 2022, 10:02:47 AM
True, trading is not just about making profit but it is also how you handle your losses. You cant assure that trading makes you profitable especially if you do not have much knowledge, experience and skills. It is not get rich quick scheme like what others think. It requires a lot of hardwork and patience.

If you want to be a successful and profitable trader, it is important to educate yourself first. Have some knowledge, skills and experience. Do not become an actual trader. This way you can protect your capital, and when you become confident as a trader, you can earn more profit in the market.

Before you start your crypto trading journey educate yourself about the facts like "It is estimated that 95% of traders lose money — and yes, Bitcoin is certainly not immune to the same market forces and human emotion. Source".

Every trader starts its journey with loss and that's not a loss if you learn something and get some future experience. That's how successful traders are made. You can also increase your trading skills by doing stuff like paper trading.

My few satoshis are not come to crypto trading if you want to become rich overnight, as there is no shortcut to success.

Yes, to be honest people who think that bitcoin will continue to go up in a straight line are people who want to quickly take advantage of this. sometimes, they end up saying that bitcoin is a scam.
they should have done their research by looking at market prices from year to year to get a big picture of what bitcoin is like. however, sometimes people who think like that only see the price changes that are currently happening. they are assuming, if they had bought bitcoin long ago, they would have made a huge profit today. and they invest in ATH, the price corrects again, and they panic, sell their assets, and brand bitcoin as a scam.

Patience is the key to success in every trading whether its crypto, equity, commodity or any other. There is no way you can become rich overnight and I do agree that people who jumped into crypto trading investment with mind that bitcoin will go straight up after they bought bitcoin just end up in loss (saying its scam).

303  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Binance is refusing to block Russian customer's crypto wallets. on: March 10, 2022, 06:57:36 AM
The people in Russia actually brought the situation to an open military invasion of Ukraine themselves by allowing Putin to be in power for more than 20 years and at the same time completely control both the government and the country's legislative body. In fact, he now single-handedly controls the Russian Federation. A significant part of Russians supported Putin's actions when he seized the territories of neighboring countries, including Ukraine in 2014. Therefore, the fact that truly innocent residents of Ukraine are now dying at the hands of Russian invaders is a great fault of absolutely all citizens of Russia. The international community has no other leverage than economic pressure on the aggressor country as a whole. This should, among other things, force the Russians to do something with their dictator.
Binance refused to block Russian accounts only because it was approached by unauthorized persons and in the wrong form. This can be fixed.

Who controls Russia and China is matter of concern for native people only not outsiders. Putin and Chinese Communist Party have done hard work to bring there countries to the rank of super power, thats something west and USA ignored while doing propaganda againest them.
We need to see both side of pictures before making a final conclusion as its takes two hands to clap. Ukraine must not have provoked Russia to level of this attack.
Why should Binance block Russian accounts? Did Binance or other big financial institutes of time blocked USA accounts when they attacked Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria?

We have both very interesting matches from West Indies in this event after beating England and New Zealand they are favourite for reaching into semi-final but still we have these both losing teams in connection for semi-final because it's league system tournament and all teams need to play 7 matches with this any team which will win 4 matches can qualify for knock out round.

Right now, Australia and West Indies leading table with now tomorrow we are going to have another very exciting match between host New Zealand vs India its first test case for India after beating Pakistan very good and New Zealand is also looking for their first win after losing against West Indies by just 3 runs.

But good thing now here Big3 facing some good challenge from teams like West Indies and India because these are also doing good for qualifying into semi-final.

In today's game b/w India-W and New Zealand-W, the NZ-W team is in command as they have scored 260 runs in 50 overs. From NZ side there is good knock from Amelia Kerr and Amy Satterthwaite, both scored half centuries. IND Women need 164 runs from 20.2 overs with 6 wickets in hands, seems like a tough ask. India-W after performing good against Pakistan team is down and out against strong team of NZ.
India has lost ODI series 4-1 and the Only T20I to NZ just before this WC.

How about  Shaheen Shah Afridi , Jasprit Bumrah, Mitchell Starc, Mohammad Amir, Rashid Khan, Shakib Al Hasan , Mohammad Nabi are a few of my favorite ones? These bowlers are talented and worth watching.
Every era has produced memorable bowlers. The modern day bowlers have got less favorable conditions but yet they produce excellent results.

No doubt they are great bowlers but they are good to watch while playing T20. The interest in test has gone down by spectators due to introduction of shorter formats of game i.e. T20 leagues that have rules to make the game look more exciting.

West Indies  VS  England

So far the game is very much balanced towards both team. On 3rd day we can see which team is in command of the game, England need to bowl out WI before 300 total and should bat well in second innings to win the game. WI aim from here should be to score 350 runs.
306  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Police can confiscate refugees' valuables. bitcoin not affected... on: March 09, 2022, 06:35:03 PM

Never heard of this jewelry law, and hopefully it didn’t happen to any refugees now from Ukraines, it’s already pitiful that they experience this things that left them no choice but to leave their home and properties behind to save their lives and hopefully they are able to atleast secure their savings be it their crypto investments or bitcoins. If ever jewelry law implemented to them they will need to find way not to be track their seed or phrases having codes to understand it by ourselves can be beneficial to secure it.

If police can't confiscate bitcoin then how about fiat money sitting in your bank accounts? Jewelry law allow police to capture physical stuff from refugees but not anything digital. Governments are very clever in making such laws, as refugees usually carry valuable items while they travel since they need money to buy stuff like food, shelter etc.
Bitcoin is ideal in such situations provided refugees have access to Internet and they can easily convert btc to Fiat for day living.

Well, I have a question, what do you think is going to attract you more when you are an athlete at the age of 34?

Your international duty or for the tournament where you can get a lot of money from?

I think the answer is simple. And there is a reason why he actually prefers IPL over international cricket. Because the Bangladesh board is not in a great position right now and only those who are really connected with Bangladesh cricket know about that.

Can he still play IPL 2022? He and Adam Zampa remained unsold in mega auction. Players like shakib have played alot of international cricket from there country and I don't think money can be an issue for such a senior player who has been part of every T20 league.
Boards must have some regulations on players about there national duty and T20 leagues.
308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: March 09, 2022, 06:17:56 PM

Mate it's not hype it's just love affair which is turn into hate business just because of bad politics of these two countries in my view we can change this into a billion USD business, but mind set from both sides is really conservative, so it's not happening like we have in Europe, South American soccer and near us Australia vs New Zealand.

Every one know this is great opportunity for both countries and millions of peoples to done things in positive way but no one want to do settle disputes as it's creating more profit for few superpowers in defence industry which is growing just because of this hate and dispute.
Indian women cricketers are much experienced and better in quality, so these ladies outclass Pakistani women even they were also good at bowling but fail in batting.

The irony with women cricket is that apart from England, New Zealand and Australia no other country is taking women's cricket seriously. This WC is good in a sense that West Indies team have come up to limelight for the first time as they beat tournament hot favourites England and New Zealand. India also has good start of tournament so far. Let's see can history be created this time or WC will be retained by Women big 3.
309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 09, 2022, 06:11:17 PM


Yeah, I think you are right. Because the days are gone when spectators enjoyed seeing the bowling of Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, Muttiah Muralitharan, or Brett Lee. Now everyone wants to sleep almost every ball hit for a six. To be honest, in my opinion, cricket has become less skillful than it was before.

If you see interviews of crickets in 80s and 90s they will say they like test cricket more then ODI since test is the proper form of cricket. Since the introduction of T20 and T10, cricket is faster then ever before. There are very few people who have time to watch full 5 days of cricket.

Westindies are in hurry to chase England first inning total of 311 as they have score 107/2 with RR of 4. Its because of more T20 throughout the year, players are playing test like ODI and T20.
310  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and international conflict on: March 08, 2022, 07:18:49 AM

There's still that belief but it's just being portrayed by the media. Despite with the adoptions that we're seeing, they never fail to tell that it was once used for illegal transactions as if the fiat has never been used for it. But anyway, we can count on it that the perspective and view of the majority have been changing because bitcoin has been useful not just for individuals but also in countries that are experiencing and conflicts just like these two who has been closed with their transfers as the banks have frozen their operations.


Illegal activities are going on since the human life started, even today money laundering through fiat is a major concern worldwide. Just as fiat is double edge sword i.e. has both good and bad usage likewise BTC has both good and bad usage too. The only reason why BTC is facing criticism from governments is because they cant control its decentralized nature.
I would say for people of Ukraine, BTC is a safe heaven to store there assets till the time war is over. Everyone of us still need fiat for our daily livings. For war hit people, neither fiat nor BTC can lessen there miseries.

PakistanW vs AustraliaW.

Australia won the toss and decided to field first. Pakistan scored 190 and Bismah Maroof (captain ) 78 runs on 122 balls.


There is thread for ODIs discussion, you can post that message there ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]. In fact we are already discussing women WC 2022 there.


Few months back I watch few games WNBA and some other games related to women there were no good fans base available for them like they are doing for men but good thing their sports associations are still encouraging them and having some good results from this all and this all is possible just with some good money.

That's because in developed countries its mandatory to invest in women games. Franchises no doubt earn from men games and its mandatory for them to allocate some portion of there investment for women games also. That's why WNBA despite having less fan base continuous to coexists with men NBA. I don't know whats stopping BCCI to spare some bucks and start WIPL.
312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 08, 2022, 07:02:29 AM

It depends. Muttiah Muralitharan is also a controversial figure and he was called out multiple times for chucking (by Australian umpires). The ICC concluded that the bend in his arm is natural and therefore allowed him to bowl. But it is no secret that he got some advantage from his medical condition.

Same advantage was given to Shoaib Akhtar also (if I am wrong). Both Shoaib and Murli are lucky enough to play in era when small boards have some say in ICC. If they both were playing in current era they were banned straight away, for instance, Saeed Ajmal and now Muhammad Hasnain are banned for there illegal bowling action by ICC. Saeed Ajmal was indicated by English umpires while Hasnain is was indicated by Aussies umpires.


Quote
All that said, Muralitharan had a huge impact outside cricket. He was the binding force in a country where half a million people lost their lives in ethnic and religious conflict. And if I am not wrong, he remains as the only Tamil Hindu to appear for Sri Lanka in international cricket (although they are 15% of the population, the team is mostly comprised of other ethnic groups).

I only knew that he is from Tamil Nadu, region where Tamil's are fighting against the central government. Never knew that he is only Tamil and Hindu player to be part of SL national squad. Thanks for sharing this valuable insight.

It is good to see Pakistan being competitive against the big-4 nations (helped by the pitch in a big way). But at the same time, teams like Sri Lanka are proving again and again that they are incapable of doing so. I don't really understand the point in allowing Sri Lanka to play test matches against a team like India. The gap is too big, to have a meaningful competition. And after the retirement of star players like Muralitharan, Jayasuriya, Malinga and Sangakkara, Sri Lanka is struggling even against weak teams like Scotland and Oman.

Muralitharan and Jayasuriya left quite early and after there departure responsibility was taken over by Manling, Dilshan, Sangakkara and Jayawardene. The real damage was done when the later 4 left SL at the same time and its SL board fault that they have not prepared replacement of these 4.
Batting and Bowling practice continuous at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium where 5th day play is in progress b/w Pak and Aus. Nauman Ali will be happy guy as he has his BBI performance 6/107.

That is true that we (Pakistan) do not have any infrastructure for the women's cricket team. They lost to India on that day and today they will again lose to Australians as this match is being played now at  Mount Maunganui. Australian team needs only 25 more runs to win and they have 18 overs to complete this run chase. Though one can argue that Pakistan women's team exposure is increased by playing in world cup matches but unless we do not have a proper domestic infrastructure, it's of no use.

Pak-W team performance today is better then how they performed in last match against Ind-W. Pressure may be one reason why Pak-W failed to play quality cricket on that day. Pakistan team is new in women cricket and they should try to get experience by playing there full 50 overs quota. Women cricket is dominated by England, Aus and New Zealand and its because these boards are behind there teams.
Pak-W just lost the match to Aus-W by 7 wickets. Alyssa Healy was the top scorer from Aus side who scored 74 runs.
315  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This Ukraine issue has me thinking a lot. In a crisis, how valuable is bitcoin? on: March 06, 2022, 05:20:19 AM

Well, your bitcoin would be inaccesible since bitcoin requires internet and a mobile phone. You could no longer exchange it for goods and services or physical currencies. The only thing you can do is to move out to another country where there is no conflict in order for you to survive, or just seek some help.


For our daily living we still need fiat. Bitcoin can help in a way that you don't have to carry any cash with you in war zone region. But even if you migrate to other country than converting btc to Fiat will be difficult as you don't have banking facility available in country where you taking asylum.
Bitcoin has its pros and cons in war situation. If you just wanna move your assets to safe location unless the conflict is over then bitcoin is ideal.

Lets see how Australia is going to respond and how the pitch will behave in the final two days, i am expecting the ball to be spinning and i am not aware of the spinners in the Pakistan bowling line up. How Australia will respond and how fast they can score runs will determine the fate of this match.

In the other match between India and Sri Lanka, India is in a comfortable position and Sri Lanka needs a good partnership even to avoid the follow on.

3rd day play just started and Australia are 10/0. Pakistan need to bowl out Australia today if they wanna win this game. If Australia can survive today's play then most probably we will have a draw. Usman khawaja a Pakistani born Australian Cricketer is opening for Australia.

SL on day 3 still trail by 413 runs with 5 wickets in hand. It's very much India game.
317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: March 06, 2022, 04:55:54 AM
I will try to be online during the match and share my analysis.  Smiley

The match between Pakistan women and India Women is in progress and India has given target of 244 runs. The 100 runs 7th wicket partnership between Sneh Rana and Pooja is the main reason why India has given such a competitive target. After losing 6 wickets in 33 overs for 114 runs, Sneh and Pooja took the responsibility.
Pakistan really have to bat well to get this target.

Everyone respected him when he was playing cricket and there is no doubt about it. However his behavior outside the field was always controversial. And although he maintained good relations with Indian players after his retirement, during the 90s he was very infamous for sledging and bullying opposite players (especially Indians) on field. All that said, he was a legend and will always be remembered as one. He made use of his opportunities to the maximum in the cricket field and was well supported by his captains at that time.

In 90s bcci was weak board and he have good relations with Indian players after his retirement since he was made captain of Rajistan Royals so he has no other option but to have good relations to show thankfulness to Indian. His on field behaviour with opposite players was always bad.
He will always be remembered as a legendary spin bowler and worst human being that has no respect for opposite players. Muralidharan is far ahead of him not only in terms of performance but also in sportsmanship.

In South Africa also, the regime change was boodless. Does that provide any legitimacy to the regime? Actually the regime in South Africa was voted to power (although only the white voters had the power to vote), while the one in Afghanistan captured power after murdering thousands. Indian government has condemned the Taliban takeover and doesn't have any diplomatic relations with them, so it will be wrong to claim otherwise. As far as I know, only Pakistan and a few Arab nations supported the Taliban takeover.

We need to understand geography of this region before comparing it with South Africa or any other country. Afghanistan is land locked country and all of its trade is through Pakistan. So Pakistan has no other option but to accept every government in Afghanistan. Previous regime was totally anti Pakistani but Pakistan still has to accept it. Now the current regime is yet to declare itself as pro Pakistan or Indian. Both India and Pakistan don't wanna leave that country for there own interest.

That's why bcci still allowing Afghanistan players to be part of IPL but not Pakistani players, upcoming Afghanistan tour is also part of that Indian government move to have good relations with Taliban. Still if you are saying these moves have nothing to do with Indian government narrative on Taliban government then its your own say.

There are rumors that he suffered heart attack as a result of overdose from Viagra. Shane Warne was a legendary player and there is no doubt about it. But his private life was always controversial. While he was in Australia, he got entangled in multiple controversies related to misbehavior with females. During foreign tours also, there were such reports arising, but the Australian cricket board managed to hush up all the complaints. Some time ago he shifted to Thailand and after that there wasn't much news about him in the media.

He Was Watching Cricket, Not Drinking' - Manager. Moreover, Aussie PM confirms that Shane Warne will get state funeral.
His private life apart, his test stats are phenomenal to prove that he was one of best leg spinner of all time. In his 273 innings, he picked 708 wickets. Second best figure's after SL Muttiah Muralitharan
