And it's still the same. No improvement yet.
The stores have the goods now but you need to stand in a long queue for over an hour to get into the store and there are restrictions on the amount of products we purchase, we can call that improvement than empty shelves  Cheesy. The situation is getting worse and there are talks that the lock down will be extended and during that period there is no cigarette or liquor and if you still need those you need to spend double the market price in the black market.

That's a stupid decision from BCCI. Within July, the pandemic will barely overcome. Players will be at risk of course as well as the associated people. That's not quite a few people only. BCCI must not have that rights to do so.
I highly doubt the government will allow any events to take place unless they could test every player and have a conclusive result and right now you cannot say that because one of my acquaintance tested negative in the first test and on the second test he is tested positive and now shifted to a hospital and under quarantine, so the testing procedure is not that straight forward.

I am sure they are being pressurized by Star TV as the loss on their part is pretty significant.
The loss is not a major factor when you take into consideration the risk involved in carrying on with the event even with upmost precaution.

Not really that tough as you are thinking. Long before the 200 from Sachin, it was also said to be impossible and Rohit made it 263/264. Watson was the player may be who made 176 from 76 balls in ODI. As an opener, it is possible to get 350 and I believe after couple of year we will have a name for that.
In the match Rohit opened the innings and he batted till the last ball of the innings and made 264 runs and that included 33 boundaries and 9 sixes with a strike rate of 152, in the case of Watson he scored 176 run in a Test match but his highest ODI score is 185 not out in just 96 balls and Australia won the match if not he would have scored a double century as he was in murderous form and he smashed 15 sixes and 15 fours in that match but for someone to score a triple century in ODI is impossible.

@eaLiTy. Dana might be doing it for the money, however, I reckon that it might not be money to make for himself. It would be for the fighters, the staff and the UFC as a company. He is company president, it is his responsibility.
That is the case with every business and sporting brands that were forced to shut down, everyone complied to the situation but Dana White was the only business man who wanted to carry on with the event. The entire world is shut down and many are undergoing a big loss, you and me are sitting at home i guess about your situation, for me i am sitting at home as there is nothing out there and everyone is forced to comply.

Also, it will be ramadan. I speculate El Cucuy's next fight might be Conor for interim champion.
It depends upon when things become normal, from what i understand Khabib will be back by August and since the fight is already announced if Khabib is not available then let them go ahead with Gaethje and Tony. Let Conor go ahead with Nate Diaz trilogy.
3204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: April 10, 2020, 04:44:34 AM
Breaking news!
UFC249 event is canceled, all events on hold indefinitely due to coronavirus pandemic!
Dana White says Fight Island will happen sometimes in future...
The ego of Dana White is crushed by the media executives and just now he came to know about the COVID 19 pandemic Cheesy. Even earlier i said that the reason Dana is adament to carry on with the event is because of money even though he was saying he had the money and he does not need money, but the company needs money and for that they need to put out fights and now the media executives might have come to a conclusion that they will compensate something and it would be risky and there will be backlash if something wrong happens everyone will take the blame and it will not be good for business in the long run.

In the words of Khabib, i am Khabib and not Corona Virus to control this fight . Send me the location when things are normal.Cheesy
3205  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Bitcoin is now legal in india. on: April 09, 2020, 07:15:49 PM
Great news for the people of India who work in the crypto currency. The Government of India has termed Bitcoin legal. Now Indians can trade in crypto currency  Now they can buy and sell Bitcoin through the bank. They will no longer have to face another problem.
It is a good new for the investors and traders but the term the government has legalized BTCitcoin is not the right statement, there is no regulation as per the government, the RBI restricted the BTCitcoin exchanges from having a bank account which basically forced them to shut their business and it took over two years to have it overturned with the help of supreme court. At present the exchanges have resumed their business but there is still no clarity regarding the legality from the government.
3206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: April 08, 2020, 06:21:21 PM
Finally the mystery is revealed as to where the UFC 249 will take place, as per the reports it will take place in Tachi Palace Casino Resort in California and it is located in a tribal land and hence they will be able to overcome the restrictions imposed by the authorities and with that situation whether this event will be sanctioned by the California state athletic commission is to be seen and even if the UFC hands out the belt to the winner if it is not a sanctioned bout the commission will not recognize it and it will be off the records.

I wonder if Dan Hardy did it 5 different times only to get the match cancelled everytime.  Lolol.  Cheesy  Kidding...  I remember there was one same vid used for two different events.
I saw the inside the Octagon for UFC 209 but i cannot find that video, if i find that will post that here. Khabib and Tony fought many times after that and hence they will not use that video again as they have more content to analyze.

It works to a limit provided that during non-crisis times the government works to undo the printing, to buy back the fiat and remove it from the market. The Fed have had >10 years since the 2008 crash, and had barely even begun to reverse the the trillions of dollars the printed previously. Their balance sheet was still sitting around $4 trillion, and now it's being inflated up to $8 trillion and beyond. It can't continue indefinitely, and if they aren't even going to attempt to buy back all this fiat, then at some point it will all come crashing down.
We were feeling the economic slowdown well before the COVID 19 pandemic and the reason for that is the exact reason you mentioned as the inflation was going through the roof and now we are facing a global pandemic and now it is certain that we will see a recession but what i expect from the bankers and the government is to put the blame entirely on the COVID pandemic and China for being irresponsible rather than accepting their failure to put the economy together.
3208  Economy / Economics / Re: I think we can take pride that we didn't need a stimulus bill for btc on: April 07, 2020, 08:34:32 PM
There is plenty of corruption in the large centralized exchanges like Coinbase and Binance, just as there is with the large centralized fiat banks. Given that Binance wanted to conduct a chain reorganization to undo a theft, I have no doubt they would print bitcoin out of thin air for themselves if they had the power to do so.
If they have more power then they will do anything they wanted and it was evident from the way CZ was planning for a roll back during the binance hack and i hope no one becomes that powerful enough to pull all the strings.

Since there is a talk about printing money from thin air in fiat currency, the same can be said about all the fork coins in the market, creating money from thin air just by forking  Cheesy.
The reason a government is providing a stimulus package is to pull the economy back from recession, even though it is almost a century old method developed during the great depression, it works to a certain limit when people start taking more loans and thus the circulation of funds in the general market increases whether it will work now is yet to be seen as there are many variables than when it was implemented successfully.
3209  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will stablecoins be the future of cryptocurrency? on: April 07, 2020, 05:25:00 PM
Everyday more and more payment providers accept stablecoins like USDT and USDC as payment. Will they be the future of crypto?
It is hard to claim that stable coin will be the future of crypto as there is no guarantee that it will not fail, we have already seen failed stable coins in the market for example, NuBits and Basis and the reason for failure are different in both these cases and we all know about the issues for USDT and their transparency issues and their legal troubles, so to consider stable coins as the future you need to think about how you are going to trust the audits and how different countries will be regulating them.

This is insane, they are going to continue the event? but with different fighters. I mean, how they can do this to Kabeeb?
This is no ones fault, the situation demanded that they needed to carry on with the fight and they are yet to release the details where the fight takes place and since Khabib is in Russia because of the pandemic situation as that is his home country and none of the countries was planning to entertain other citizens.

To be honest, Khabib probably could have made this fight if he wanted to. He flew home to Russia and offers for private jets to make this fight were offered. I don't blame him for not wanting to fight but I don't think the UFC has done him dirty.
It is not about Khabib wanting to fight, his gym was forced to shut down because of lock down and Dana White informed him that the fight would probably take place in the UAE and he took the flight to UAE but the government did not allow Khabib and his team to stay and they were put in a hotel in the airport and they said they will lock down everything and hence Khabib and his team had nowhere to go than forced to move to Russia and once they landed in Russia they too enforced the lock down. The news about private jet is not authentic according to Khabib.

Nah, your experience is really bizarre. What I speculate might have caused all of these issues for you with the bank are things like which bank, what transfer services you used for the transaction an how much? The latter being particularly important since above a certain amount red flags would be associated with the transaction.
Do not sweat too much as it was just a fun he did on April Tongue.

Did you just created a made-up story? Because the moment where the bank teller have a cheese grater in her hands totally lost me. So I would just go in with your original question
Still you did not understand  Shocked Cheesy.

I also have this kind of experience with my bank, Cashed-out my bitcoins to my bank in 2017 and the amount is around 8,000 USD at that time. The money went through my bank account but the issue that I got from my bank is they didn't let me get the money from my account after telling them that I got it from cryptocurrency. I have two options that time that was given to me by my bank. It is getting all the money I got from my account and closing my account as well or going to ATM machines, but the issue with ATM machine is they have daily limits on it around 800 USD per day and it is a quite hassle for me that's why I chose to close my account for good. I really don't want banks to discriminate money that came from bitcoin.
If you took time to read what he said rather than just reading the subject you would have understood what he was trying to tell  Tongue.

Not sure some are reading what the OP is trying to convey and that is what made me laugh Cheesy.  
3212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: April 06, 2020, 07:59:55 PM
UFC 249 happening without Khabib is probably pointless.
The fight without Khabib is pointless and that too during this stage when the entire world is on a stand still.

I reckon thje fight will just be a load of fighters just desperate to get any sort of exposure and would be very surprised if there's any big names. With that being said, if Dana can pull out some big guns then fair play to him bu there just seems far too many obstacles in his way to even get this fight going never-mind getting some big names on the bout.
The main event will be Justin Gaetjhe and Tony Ferguson as per the reports, the problem with a fight during this situation is that none of the fighters will be getting a proper training as it is hard to find training partners during a lock down and the gyms were forced to shut down, even if Dana moves forward with the event how successful it will be is to be seen.

Pulev To Donate Half His Purse From Joshua Fight To Help Battle Coronavirus
It is a generous move and hope he is financially well off as he is 38 years old and his sporting career is coming to an end and most of the sportsperson become bankrupt once their sporting life is done and hence any donation is really generous.

I'm still bored, there's not much to watch now. Can someone suggest me a good old tournament that I can watch again?
The only option is to watch movies documentaries or play games, take a subscription on major streaming services and have fun as there is nothing else to do and i am loosing my mind sitting at home for two whole weeks just watching movies and documentaries.

But with the fears around, and with all man having different psychological state of health.
Its going to be a close call, i would really hope that the Bout is extended for a while, to help the world regard emotional and psychological balance before sporting activities resume.
I am also not expecting the situation to calm down as some are anticipating as the number of patient keep on increasing and it will take a few months for everything to settle down.
3214  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Binance charity launches with $1million donation. on: April 06, 2020, 03:22:47 PM
Binance exchange is best of all crypto exchange ever because they have a good heart to help people who really needed.
They are creating a monopoly and they have the liquidity and hence i used to trade with them but not anymore when they got hacked and they really need to take care of their security rather than having a big heart, CZ like to show off and that is what he is doing with all these donations news.

So we really need to trade to binance so they can be able to donate again to other charity so other people will benefits I really recommended this site . I don't like exchange who always the profit is going to the owner but it's still their choice because that is their income.
If you want to donate you can do that individually and you really do not need to wait for someone else to donate Tongue. Looks like a paid advertisement from you  Cheesy Tongue.

On a serious note CZ is a billionaire and he can donate to any charity of his liking and he is one of the richest person in the crypto space.

He also said that the lightning network users are thieves hehehe. He is clearly only paid to annoy everyone.
There is no doubt that he lacks social skills and he irritates everyone and he speaks on doing things and i am yet to see those things fulfill. As mentioned above he is paid by Calvin and how long he will be able to do that is to be seen Grin.

Not sure why this nutcase is still relevant around. He's desperate for attention to further his scams.
After almost two years of absence you are back again  Wink. There is one or the other topic starting every now and then regarding what Craig said and even though how much you report it pops up as he is releasing something every now and then to capture the headlines.

3216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 05, 2020, 01:37:47 PM
Yeah, in comparison of (USA, Italy,France) India doing good job considering she has billion people and overall healthcare system is a big disaster. Good thing is community spread seems controllable due to complete lock down so numbers are not going up, having said that its bit early to say and we have to wait 5-10 days more. Plus India is not doing enough tests. Authorities might want to ramp up with the testing in next few weeks for more clarity.
The testing must be ramped up to understand the real dept of the situation, a country with a billion population has tested just 128,320 people till now and that is not a great figure to understand the real situation, local community spread will be much higher and there are reported cases of virus in slums of Mumbai which is scary as the numbers will rise exponentially if that is not taken care.

There is always someone to blame in every where including the place I live. Yeah, media are worse, governments do not care (possibly they do not have the resources) but if the citizens are aware and take this pandemic seriously then rest of the things are very easy.
The lack of planning and foresight is a big issue, earlier the government said they are planning a one day lock down and there is nothing to worry and the next day they shut the entire country for 21 days, even if you go to grocery stores you cannot find essential goods as the shelves are empty.

Considering the fact that virus in all countries are on rising mode other than China so does not seems that eradication could happen overnight .
You cannot trust the numbers coming out from China as the number of missing persons after the pandemic is on the rise, the families have no idea where they are and with the global community blaming them you cannot expect them to say the truth.
3217  Economy / Economics / Re: returning to normal on: April 04, 2020, 09:15:09 PM
what do you think---are entire industries about to disappear because of the pandemic? will some aspects of the economy and general life irreversibly change after this?

or are these people just drama queens who are blowing everything out of proportion? maybe people will forget all about the coronavirus in a couple years time and nothing will change. that's what happened after the H1N1 scare.
The COVID 19 will change many things, just for starters this is the first time in over a century that the world is panicking because of an epidemic and majority of the countries are in lock down and some of the countries are not having reserves for basic safety equipment for medical workers which is a real concern and most of the countries are investing billions of dollars for purchasing warfare and now they will focus more on health care as they now have a precedence on how an epidemic will force everything to shut down and will have an impact on the economy.

The only positive thing i saw in this lock down situation is that the Earth is recovering, Ozone layer is recovering and the pollution level is decreasing considerably which are all positive things we never knew before.
3218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: April 04, 2020, 07:24:33 PM
@eaLiTy. Agreed! Why is Dana always forcing the fight on schedule? Is this about money? Is he trying to make history that his show was the only one during a pandemic?
They already cancelled a couple of fight cards and the new owners purchased this for a whooping $4 billion dollars and if they are not able to continue with the shows then they will be in financial trouble and all their contracts means that they need to come up with shows to get the revenue and with the complete shut down they are in a sort of crisis on deciding how to move forward and so is the reason Dana is adamant to move forward with the show but they are yet to find a stadium and an athletic body that would sanction the fight and with the number of cases rising on a daily basis it is unlikely we will see this fight card happen.

Some people hold their crypto assets on exchanges, it is very dangerous, previously many exchanges have been hacked.
I advise You should keep your crypto assets in your personal wallet because the exchange is not safe.
Throughout the small history in this market we have seen many hacks and when the shit show in MT Gox happened it was clear that storing your coins in exchanges is not the best idea as every year you hear about an exchange hack and till now over a billions dollars worth of coins are lost to hackers and then if you tally the amount of coins lost to scammers the amount will be staggering.
