I did not expect anything different, i knew this was going to happen as Modi is found of theatrics and i knew he would take decisions without thinking and when i hear about reports that malls are shutting down, i stocked everything for the long term and just as expected the lock down was announced like a hammer.

Lock down was necessarily after informing everyone about the situation and people who are stuck elsewhere will get the opportunity to get back home after proper testing rather than leaving them on the road and then planning to do arrangements after two months. This happens when stupid people are elected through popularity contest (elections) and they have the ultimate power to rule scientist, engineers, doctors while these politicians are hardly educated.

Bringing India to 1970 does not mean glorifying the deeds of Modi, instead it is the other way around, mocking the foolish and backward policies of the government taking India backward .

We already had two major entertainment, banging vessels and lighting the candle and shouting go corona  . I was expecting more entertainment further but sadly that did not happen .

As for cricket all the players are making live videos and streaming it online and one of the blunders i heard today was from Dale Steyn claiming that he dismissed Sachin at 190 but the umpire refused to raise the finger because he was fearful of the reaction from the crowd . The reality is far from the encounter mentioned by Steyne as Sachin faced three balls and there was never an appeal for LBW.

There is drama going on everywhere and it looks like everyone is loosing their mind.

The fact is you cannot lock down the country for a very long period of time, the initial lock down was not prepared in India, they announced that in a short period which was really stupid and now the number of positive cases are reaching around one hundred thousand and now the central government wants the states to take decision on what to do when people are protesting against them and not allowing them to move to their homeland because they are not having any work for the past couple of months, how convenient.

What the BCCI will be planning about the IPL is interesting if the government relaxes everything and i am expecting them to carry on with the IPL without any audience.

Hope you have read all the responses, first you need to study how the blockchain works, it is not about anonymity but the opposite what it does.
Think about what blockchain does, it is a record that cannot be manipulated or erased and if that is the case, how can you think about being anonymous .

Government will always find a way to interfere in the market, the regulations are coming and there is no way you are going to hide from that. All the crypto exchanges will be regulated and if you are planning to use any, you need to verify your identity and every transactions can be monitored.
In future majority of all the scams and frauds that use BTCitcoin can be traced and that is what i am hoping.

I admire the way in which Elon Musk thinks and the innovative ideas he has, i really do think he is saying the truth about the amount of coins he is holding as there is no point for him to lie about his investment in BTCitcoin. 

The reason is he is a self made billionaire and he is not an investor, he made his billions through his inventions and he is pretty damn good at that and if he says that he just is holding 0.25BTC just to check what is all about, i believe what he is telling. He is an individual who is planning to sell all of his possessions including his luxury mansions and wanted to rent a modest place to live. It is weird but that is Elon Musk.

 

These were great picks, Alistair Overeem showed his veteran class, i thought he would get knocked down in the first round but survived and came back and win the fight in the second round.

Conor McGregor is showing the good side, the pandemic might have changed many .

If Jon Jones is planning to move to heavyweight he should wait for Francis Ngannou to win the title which will be probably in a years time and then fight him and it will be the biggest fight in heavyweight in a very long time.

The light heavyweight division is the most talent stacked and the toughest division and Jon Jones ruled the division like anyone else in history and that is the only reason every consider him as the greatest MMA fighter of all time, the heavyweight division is not even competitive.

Israel Adesanya is not ready to fight Jon Jones and that is not his fault, Jon Jones is not going down to face him, Israel Adesanya has to come to his division and i bet Jon Jones will smoke him simply because of the size difference.

I did not bet in this fight because of the emotional stress Walt Harris went through after loosing his step daughter just recently.

For those who were not aware of the Aniah case where she was kidnapped and murdered and that is the reason the fight against Overeem was cancelled last time and i was not sure in what shape or emotional Walt Harris was and hence did not wage a bet in the fight. It was emotional to see everyone reaching out to him after the fight.

Anthony Smith came out and said about the details of his injury, he had a broken nose as well as broke his orbital bone and not one but two teeth are gone and the brain damage he attained and i really doubt he can be the same fighter again with the kind of injuries he sustained.

  His father opened his eyes and hopefully he will recover well. The support and prayer he from everywhere was surprising, even McGregor praised his dad and wished him recovery.

McGregor only fought twice at 170 pounds in his career and that too against Nate Diaz, his record is one win which was really close and a loss where he completely gassed out.

Even if the restrictions are lifted, they are spending a lot of money constructing the infrastructure and it will be ready by June as per the words of Dana White.

I stopped following all the forks a long time back and majority of the forks will die out eventually. My view of BTCitcoin will never change but literally there is a ton of changes in BTCitcoin just in case you are not aware of  .

• segwit
• Lightning Network

Other anticipated upgrades

• Schnorr
• Taproot
• Tapscript

The fork coins have very less transaction volume when compared to BTCitcoin and hence the low transaction cost and efficient transaction time, it is too early to predict anything and we have a long way to make this a global currency.

It is a highly likely situation as the WHO already announced that the virus will be here to stay for a few years, i do not take what they say on face value as they changed their opinions several times during the past several months. Since all of the proposed tournaments are shifted to indefinite dates and there is no clue as to when everything becomes normal, it is a decision they have to take either way rather than moving the tournament without any foresight of when everything can be resumed.

Even in this situation the economic situation will play a major hand, In ICC tournaments majority of the share goes to the ICC but the other tournaments the share belongs to the parent country where the tournament is conducted.

If anyone anticipated a virus shutting the entire world, they would have taken steps to prevent it. BCCI spends money only if they think it will be worth the investment and more over it is a ecological sensitive area and hence it is impossible to get permission to built a stadium.

I have seen many suggestion taking the IPL to other countries and even Sri Lankan cricket board invited from what i read. It is not safe to carry on any tournaments in India because we all know the situation is getting worse on a daily basis.

 

Hope you have heard about youtube  If you are really addicted to cricket you can watch many old matches and really great innings and the amount of videos that are available will keep you entertained for years. And once you finish watching those then you can register into hotstar as they have all the IPL matches and that too not even highlights, you can get the entire match.

Since we are talking about 2140 where i will be long gone from the face of the earth and if my presence in this site and BTCitcoin can be seen as my foot print of existence it will be my ghost  , i can dream about sending BTCitcoin for a few pennies by that time and the miners will be living off the fees and without incentives they will not be sticking around for a long period of time and for that to happen i am expecting a revolutionary scaling solution by that time without expecting the price to reach a million dollars.

With all these expectation and the financial freedom we have, i hope people will have the same kind of freedom we have right now, considering how every movement is captured by the authorities and with the corona crisis each and every footprint of every individual is monitored and i hope they will stop doing that after this pandemic is over.

I mentioned India B because i remember the Challenger Series where players were split into India senior, India A and India B and the reason i remember that is because Sreesanth who i knew as a club player from Ernakulam cricket club and i still remember him getting selected for India B and he took the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar which helped him fast tracked his career into international cricket.

The last tournament was played in 2014 and hence you might have not heard about that and India B won the competition in the 2013 season.

I am not against the idea, but you need to understand the competition is really high to become a cricket player and then you need connections to get into the team and the payment is not that high and attractive for foreign players and the small states will not be having enough money to spent. If the BCCI is helping one state and fund them, then the rest of the states will oppose that and it will not be a fair game. If the competition starts to recruit foreign players to win the domestic tournament by every state then you are not building up the future generation.

In my opinion domestic tournaments should be there to develop a cricket player and a selection process to represent the national team and some of these players will be sent abroad to gain experience.  

The original and the only domain Satoshi Nakamoto registered but it is now controlled by Cobra.

‎Roger Ver‎ owns this domain and it is not even BTCitcoin related  .

Basically no one until Satoshi comes back and claims his work .

The global eCommerce market is already huge with a global sales around $3.5 trillion and they have multiple payment options and people are actually comfortable with the current situation and hence the huge volume and accepting BTCitcoin is the discretion of the major players and i was expecting them to include as an alternative safe payment and if i remember correctly Newegg was the first major eCommerce site that accepted BTCitcoin bak in 2014 and i was expecting other major brands to follow but sadly that did not happen.

I can only get essential products online as i am stuck in a red zone and since everyone is forced to purchase online the amount of consumers are really high and amazon and other major platforms are not able to fulfill everything on time, they set up slot system to deliver in every area which will take time to get it delivered.

Basically i am against the idea of only essentials can be purchased during lock down even online is bogus, but the explanation from the government is to have a fair level playing field for other shops that are forced to shut down.

I hope you understand the differentiation between domestic teams and how they pick India A and India B teams.

The players who perform well in the domestic competition will be selected into both these teams India A and India B, which means they have the possibility to represent the country and those players are sent for foreign tours to gain experience playing in different pitches.

The domestic tournament are highly competitive and most of the schedules are packed and if they are touring abroad to play other teams then the word domestic must be changed  .

You are talking about professional cricket, what kind of special bonding you are looking. If someone is not capable to bond in a team then he is not fit to play the sport.

One of the most brutal fights i have seen in a very long time.
Anthony Smith took a beating of his life time and the corner should have stopped the fight, Smith lost a tooth during the fight and Anthony Smith handed it over to referee.
 
The injury Gabriel Benítez sustain and the image is not for the faint of hearts and hence i am not posting that, his bone can be seen in the picture he posted in his instagram account.

Have you heard about the situation of Khabib's dad, he is in coma and if something bad happens then it will affect Khabib terribly considering how close they are and he is his primary coach and even Conor McGregor reached out which is respectable.

Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz would be great but to face Masvidal it will be a difficult fight for McGregor considering the size difference even though he fought down at 155 pounds.

The reason for the fight island is to accommodate fighters from other countries as the government has no jurisdiction over it and that was the plan from the start as it was clear that the corona will be with us for a long time and Dana White wants to continue with the fight cards.

The easiest option is to wait and recheck before reporting than expecting theymos to do something that is not productive   . If it is a bad report so be it, you will be careful next time around when you click the report button .

Yeah i accept about getting confused when you are reporting in bulk and earlier double report did not go down as bad and once they implemented that i was careful while reporting, for making things easier for the staff everyone who reports should be careful and it is a responsibility that everyone who reports should abide.

If theymos can implement the feature without messing around the code too much then i will be happy having that feature  .

The problem here is the notion of government is helpless, have you heard about the PM CARES Fund and they raised more than 1000 crores INR and then they have another fund collection Prime Minister's National Relief Fund and that has similar amounts or larger amounts. What they do with these huge amount of funds is not clear, they are taking money from poor labor jobless people in the name of evacuation and what are these charity funds collected  . You are aware how many people walked 100 to 200 km just to reach home and some were not even lucky as they lost their life during these mass migration from the poor.

Have you seen the news that the RBI has written off bad loans aka Non-performing assets of 66000 crore mainly from businessman and other wealthy people. How much money was needed to give all the poor people some funds during a situation like this rather than writing off loans of the wealthy .

You clearly mentioned about the flight charges they are forcing them to pay to reach home, hope you heard about the issue that posed by Qatar where the Indian government said the repatriation flight are rescue missions which means they wont collect money while they were charging exorbitant charges and Navy Ships are collecting tickets and carrying people in the name of repatriation .

Lack of clarity on what they will be using with these billions of amount collected in the name of charity should be public.

Still many states are not allowing home delivery of liquor and i have no idea why they want to restrict which is bullshit.

No one experienced this in their life time and it is highly unlikely anyone would forget these weird situations.


If a government consider these are pennies then why don't they write off all these charges and help the citizens rather than charging exorbitant rates when there is no job and there is no clarity when they will get the opportunity to work again.

Even if it is a global brand people purchase the franchise and run the business, they need to set up everything and if they are under loss they will be forced to shut down.

@OP In a normal situation all these shops are able to survive but the lock down and the Corona scare will force many business to close down as when can we expect people going out in groups and dinning, it might take several months and it is impossible for everyone to sustain in a situation like this.

If they get orders for home delivery they can survive if they are getting the sufficient orders to sustain and hopefully the government will intervene in helping these small businesses to survive.
