I haven't faced any issues or committed any monetary mistakes from the day I started crypto. I have been always referring to the forum whenever I am in any doubts. At the end of the day you still need to do your own research but the forum has always helped me to find the right direction.
3282  Local / India / Re: Which Indian Exchange supports Tron USDT deposit? on: January 08, 2022, 11:36:15 PM
I am looking for an Indian Exchange that supports Tron USDT deposit. I have checked WazirX, Giottus and CoinDCX. All of them do not support Tron USDT deposit. Since WazirX is part of the Binance exchange I had assumed that they might allow it but when I checked it they were not. Has anyone here used any exchange or can anyone here tell me how to convert Tron USDT payment to INR or any other cryptocurrency?
I have deposited/withdrew USDT in TRC-20 on coindcx pro. It was very convenient for me in terms of the transaction fee and the block confirmation time.

So, CoinDCX supports a TRC-20 USDT deposit, this is new for me. I was not aware of it. Do they have USDT/INR pair also and what is the fee for withdrawing INR? How long does it take for the money to credit to your bank account? Can please help me with these question?

I have a feeling that the Australian captain waited for too long before declaring. A target of 350 or so would have been enough, but they wanted Usman Khawaja to complete his century. The target for England was kept at 388. Ideally, they should have declared at least 10-15 overs before that and should have scored some quick runs towards the end. Cameron Green was scoring runs at a good rate, but Khawaja slowed down considerably, in order to focus on his ton. This may cost Australia the match and the opportunity to go 4-0 up in the series.

There is nothing wrong with what the Australian captain did? He knew that the English team is struggling this season and wanted Khawaja to get this century for his record. England needs 352 runs to win this match which I think is still not achievable considering their past performance. Australia has already won 3 matches and they will be looking for a win in this match too.

I am not sure how did you conclude that IPL has destroyed Indian cricket standards. IPL has given a lot of opportunity to those young players who might have not got selected in the Indian A team because of fierce competition. Thanks to IPL he would still have a chance to get selected and also get decent pay every year. T20 is more watched than any other format of cricket therefore BCCI has been focusing more on this format.

Have to agree with pakhitheboss. IPL may have some negatives associated with it, but overall it has done wonders to young Indian players. Look at second string players like Rahul Tewatia, Chetan Sakariya and Sandeep Sharma. These players don't have any real chance of getting a national team callup anytime soon. But as a result of the IPL, they have received good exposure and more importantly good salaries. And on top of that, the BCCI has received billions of USD in revenues, and most of it was directed towards the grass-roots development.
Now the IPL league have turned many players to be successful in their professional cricketing. In the past players didn't have any opportunity to show their ability, now this has been fulfilled by the IPL league. Recently one of the leading Soccer club have shown interest in buying one of the IPL franchise which shows how high the money is playing its role in IPL.

In the past, those players who were good with the English language only had the option of joining the commentary team. They still do till today but how many of them who played in IPL from the day it started are doing that job now? There has been a major improvement in the living standard of players after IPL. I agree that because of IPL many players now are not well versed with test cricket or ODI but it does not mean that the standard of cricket in Indian has gone down only becasuse of IPL.

The trend with football will take quite a lotta time to get into cricket. One big reason could be football is a global sport, but cricket is only played by a few nations, and 2 or 3 boards control how cricket is played.


You are right. IPL is the kick-starter of the money game in cricket. As before it, players were only paid their salary but now, they make more than that by playing 1 month in the IPL. As you said, it has both advantages and disadvantages.,

As long as big 3 control cricket, dont expect new countries to join in since that will destroy the supremacy of big 3. IPL has done more damage to Indian team then good. Yes it has brought money in the game but at the same time Indian cricket standard is going down and out. Because of IPL players mind are struck in T20 format and cant play bilateral series.

This is Team England. Those who scored 36 runs lost 4 wickets. Now their collection is 135. The funny thing is that Joe Root returned to the dressing room with zero runs. He could not add any run to the team's scoreboard. After a long time we saw such an innings from Root.
Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow are playing very well. Stokes are unbeaten on 52 and Bairstow on 25. Runs will continue to be added to England's scoreboard as long as their innings and partnership last. When they are both out. My prediction is that all other players will not be able to collect more than 70-80 runs.
Thanks to Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes innings England manage to cross 200 with still 4 wickets in hand. They avoid follow on because of these two innings. How many times Root has to score alone? He is a player and can get out on zero. I dont know why Zak Crawley and Haseeb are selected as opener for such a big contest.

England now collects 258, losing 7 wickets. Bairstow has scored 103 runs and is not out yet. Stokes was out for 67 runs. I think, England's innings will end tomorrow morning. England will lose all the wickets in the first session. I doubt if England will be able to stay in the crease for 10 overs after Bairstow is out. However, 3 days have passed. England are expected to draw this match.

Another match getting wasted by the English team. If they could have batted on the fourth day then the situation would have been different. They have already lost 8 wickets and the first session has not yet ended. Australia will win this match too without any doubt. There is no more scope to draw this match.

What I like most about NFT is that it is not affected by the cryptocurrency market. The current crypto market is in bear mode but the NFT market is still stable and some projects are still pumping. Like any other kind of crypto scam, there are scam projects in this domain too therefore do your research before investing.

I am following NFT market from half a year and noticed contrary to what you experienced. In my opinion, NFTs are highly correlated with the crypto price movements. Ethereum and Solana are the two most popular NFT ecosystems and whenever their prices decrease, people tend to liquidate their NFTs too like any other altcoin. Here is the price comparison of Aurory (one of the best Solana projects) in SOL with the SOL price in USD.



You will notice that the first dump in Aurory price happened when SOL went down by 15% on 30th October, second dump came in the last week of Nov when SOL broke by 20%. The third and most significant dump happened near 8th Dec when SOL prices went downhill with the rest of the crypto market.

However, I agree that the recent trend is contradictory. NFT prices are going in the opposite direction to the cryptos since last week. But it's mostly due to the re-surge of Web 3.0 hype in 2022. NFT market volume has increased 15x since 2nd January. If this trend continues, we may see NFT market trend detaching from the primary crypto market trend but we would need much more than PFPs and shitty games from the NFT projects for that to happen.

I might have forgotten to mention it depends on projects too. There are a few projects that I have been monitoring from day 1 of their inception and I see the price going up contrary to the crypto market. You should check these two projects Monaco planet once and sandbox. Also, do check the listing price and the current price especially of Monaco as it was listed a few months ago on OS.

Australia    vs    England

After day-2, Australia has collected 416 and declared their innings. The highest collection for the team was that of Usman Khawaja. He has scored 137 runs. Smith made 67 runs.
The performance of the England batsmen in the last two matches, I think 417 runs is too big for England. England can make a maximum of 300. However, at the end of the second day, England managed to score 13 runs without losing a wicket. They are only 403 runs behind. Grin

Although Australians are able to make 416 runs in their first innings but they have utilized full 2 days. Now they need to quickly bowl England out or preferably enforce a follow on.
If England are able to make 300+ runs in the first innings, then it's most likely that this test match will end in a draw. England managed to survive the last 5 overs of 2nd day and therefore so far it's good for England.

In my opinion, this match is heading towards a draw. I know England batter has not been performing well but they can easily stay on the pitch for the next two days. They should not chase this target as they will not be able to do so it is better to stay on the pitch and spend time.
This will also help them to avoid a complete whitewash.

I love NFT and holding nfts for future trend. If NFT trend work i will definitely sell in high price.
 Currently NFT is looking just art like btc which was low value in start and now trading above 45k.
In future Solono,Luna and Eth base NFT will give me big profit.

Cricket has become a business and there is no denying it whatsoever. With the business in mind, ICC will always try to make IPL better rather than the bilateral series as IPL generates way more revenue and viewership compared to any bilateral series.

And you are right. Having internal issues in boards is their personal problem. Yes the ICC might be able to eradicate some of it, but at the end of the day, it was them who started the downfall of them.
Cricket was already a big business but now with the introduction of franchise system it is taking some better and more profitable shape which is helping all parties in good way like players have enough money with managements are also taking very good profit and many other parties are also having very good change with this all as we already have in European Soccer where many countries going with much luxury style and few have small models but still very helpful for them as they can handle all things in better way now we need this spirit into cricket as well which is not happening due to some political reasons but still many countries can do take some good advantage and enjoy their markets with this all which will more grow in future with time and better experience.

When was cricket a big business? Before IPL I do not think BCCI had those revenues. Only a few exceptional players were making good money through advertisement all others were getting paid what BCCI paid. Post IPL everyone player, the franchise and BCCI is making tons of money. It has now become a complete business, which in a way is good and also bad.

Bangladesh surprised the entire world thanks to some amazing performances. Some of the youngsters in their team have a ton of potential. NZ messed up big-time and they clearly missed Williamson a lot.

Also, South Africa are in a strong position to win the 2nd test unless they collapse. Bowlers like Bumrah etc need to improve their game since they haven't been performing well recently.

In South Africa match is still well-balanced with Elger and Van der Dussen is on crease with 25 runs partnership and now still need 122 more to win just one more wicket before going into double-digit can bring back India into match because this one wicket can bring some good number of more for them in quick way now we have to wait for more 12 hours for all updates.

South Africa will easily win this match, they only need 122 runs and they have lost only 2 wickets. Elgar is still on the pitch and he himself can get those runs for his team. If India is able to bowl out him then they will try to draw this match. I believe that would be an impossible task for the Indian bowlers.
3292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: January 04, 2022, 11:51:39 PM

Whatever happened in South Africa is specific to the cricket board of that country. Two decades back, they were without any argument the strongest team in international cricket. And now they don't even rank among the top-5. Dozens of talented players were lost to their controversial selection policy. Some of them managed to migrate to other countries and find a place in the playing XIs. But the vast majority relegated themselves in to playing county cricket and never got a taste of international game. Just imagine how strong South Africa would have been, if they had players like Devon Conway, Marnus Labuschagne, Neil Wagner and Jason Roy still playing for them.

They were strongest team with non-native players while they are weak with native players. There was so much discrimination in SA team that there is zero black player in SA team for almost two decades. Let the non-native white players migrate to other countries and play for them. Every country team must have native players, no matter how strong or weak they are.

South Africa cricket board is helpless when it comes to the selection of native or non-native players in their cricket team. The government and people of south africa want their native players to represent the national team. They won't care if the performance of the teams is weaken by this decision. After all, they are satisfied that its the African team who is playing, and not the white English players, playing on their behalf.
The locals of South Africa deserve to be in the team. If they practice they may become good players and good team in future. If you never try, then how can you come out of this bubble and always remain at the mercy of non-native players.

Yes, it will take some time for SA to get back their previous reputation with native players but they should allow some non-native players to be part of the squad after all these non-native citizens are born and brought up in that country only and they are part of the society. In my opinion equal chance should be given to everyone.

NZ vs BAN

Holy shit... Bangladesh is about to make history!!!

9th wicket down for NZ and lead is only 31 runs.
I never expected this turnaround in the match, Bangladesh played really well and they just need 37 runs to win the match and create history. Glad that i did not place a bet on the match because i would have went with New Zealand before the match because i could not see Shakib Al Hasan in the team line up and the batsman turned the match upside down with their first innings performance and then Ebadot Hossain did the rest and i am hearing this name for the first time  Smiley.

This is hilarious the match has completely changed. First session NZ was in control of this match but what happened in the second session is hilarious they themselves were not able to play on the pitch that they created. What a turnaround by the Bangladesh team they only need 24 runs to win this match.

A bit of news about the exchange, which unfortunately is not very cheerful in the New Year, although I think that such fines for a large exchange are not significant and it is better to close them and move on. So in a press release it is reported that the Indian authorities have revealed a violation of tax legislation on the part of the WazirX cryptocurrency exchange owned by Binance.
During the study of the business activity of the platform, evasion of goods and services tax (GST) in the amount of 49.2 crore rupees (more than $6 million), including interest and fines, was found.


Yes, we saw that news but I do not think it is wrong on the government part. If you are earning so much money then why hide tax? The amount is not that big for an exchange like WazirX which is part of Binance. News like this adds to the negative image of cryptocurrency in India. Already a majority of people believe that the cryptocurrency market is a threat to national security such news will give more fire to the rumour.

What is wrong with these two Cheteshwar Pujara & Ajinkya Rahane? You may be out of form for a couple of matches not for a couple of series. Why can't they be replaced by some other talented youngsters who will give whatever it takes to cement their name in the test team? These two are just like government employees now they know they will get paid for doing nothing. 
3296  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Making money while gaming on: January 02, 2022, 06:06:55 AM

Now NFT very popular and actively used in games. A lot of projects creates their own NFT collection or use games with NFT. Some of them very funny like this https://twitter.com/megladoge/status/1465391494714564612

Gaming is very popular now. Many people want not only to play games but also earn money by playing games.
It is possible to do thanks NFT. That is why NFT is so popular now and in big demand.

Now NFT are very popular and a lot of people buy NFT for investment purposes. They hope that in future NFT will continue to grow too,
Now NFT growth in price even more then altcoins. That is why the demand in them continue to increase.

The truth is I don't see it that way, there are many NFT games that have turned out to be scam and it is not funny and good that that kind of thing happens, at least for investors and people who believe in progress or innovation in the crypto world. , I think this is not something to be taken lightly, I know people who have put in large amounts of money and have lost them because of some devs who did not know how to handle an internal economy, they turned it into a ponzi scheme and stole many, I think that that is not fun, I hope that the NFTs in 2022 come with many rules to protect investors and do not kill a technology thanks to thefts and scams.

Scam is everywhere. If one or two projects have scam investors and gamers that doesn't mean the whole space is full of scam. There are projects like Axie infinity which is trending in this space. There are a few more not so famous that have seen a recent surge of new users, this mean that people still believe in these projects as they are making good money while playing.

In simple word. NFT are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced. You can view them but you cannot edit, replace or change them. It started with Ethereum Blockchain but has no shifted to other Blockchains like BSC, Solana and Matic becuase of cheap transaction fees.

I do not think we will have a Bull run in 2022 if history repeats itself. After 2017 bull run the next bull run happened in 2021. In between that time the market either went sideways or went bearish. The same ia happening now, at the moment the market is trading sideways and I expect it to remain the same for a couple of month now this year. Still no one has be able to predict cryptocurrency market therefore anything can happen.

I am sure European countries will be able to understand cricket as England and ICC can easily promote it in neighbouring countries. The problem will be basically promoting cricket in the American continent as they will try to find similarities with baseball. But, if ICC is able to promote cricket in the European subcontinent then it will become easy for ICC to spread cricket globally and especially in the American subcontinent.

In countries like Netherlands and Ireland, cricket has a history of more than two centuries. But in all the European countries except England, cricket is declining in popularity. The national cricket boards are doing all that they could, but the other sports (football, field hockey, basketball.etc) have taken up ambitious expansion strategies and these sports have managed to poach in to cricket sphere. In countries like Netherlands and Denmark, the vast majority of the players used to be native. But nowadays somewhere between 70% and 80% are South Asian.

This is a problem which could have been easily sorted out if ICC would have promoted cricket more aggressively in the European subcontinent. They should again start organizing more tournaments in these countries and there should be also a proper media coverage of those tournament. I think the best option would be to start a T20 tournament comprising of these nations.
3300  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: January 01, 2022, 11:39:13 PM
There is an interesting move by ICC for inclusion of cricket in Olympics, ICC to make $3 million bid for cricket's inclusion in 2028 Olympics. We may see interest of more countries in cricket if it make its way to Olympics.
16 teams in T20 WC is also a big challenge, if ICC can include 3 or 4 more associate teams in next T20 WC that have good level it will be a big success.
ICC never been ideal Authority even now doing good for cricket into Olympics because they need some better planning and development from grassroots in many countries those are very good for cricket and can bring some very skills and quality players in future.

But, sadly they never use funds in this way, so we are losing many good countries in bad way like Kenya is the worst example for this, and now they have some good support for countries from where we never have any player like the UAE, Oman and Kuwait these are dead countries for quality and skill players, but sadly they are not understanding and still doing things which are never been favorable for game and fans.

I think that ICC still has time to recover from what has been done in the past. If ICC wants to include cricket in the '28 Olympics, they need to start working on getting at least 3 or 4 more teams to regular cricket. Although recently teams like Oman and UAE are playing enough cricket and there are some quality players, some more countries need to be included in there.

ICC has taken some missteps in the past but maybe including cricket in the Olympics could be good for the future of cricket in my opinion.
I think if ICC wants Cricket to be in Olympics, it has to ensure cricket spreads across Europe or the Americas, currently, cricket-playing nations are too skewed, 85% of them are from Asia & the African continent, only a few from here and there. The problem with popularising any sport per se is the viewership, cricket is a commercial sport unlike most Olympic sport, which means you need a good viewership for cricket in a country to make it a cricketing nation, but the problem is most of the countries don't even understand cricket, how in the world then you can popularise cricket there? One way is player migrations and the second better approach is to hold local cricket events in these countries, just like the couple of matches that happened in the US in form of a veteran league.

I am sure European countries will be able to understand cricket as England and ICC can easily promote it in neighbouring countries. The problem will be basically promoting cricket in the American continent as they will try to find similarities with baseball. But, if ICC is able to promote cricket in the European subcontinent then it will become easy for ICC to spread cricket globally and especially in the American subcontinent.
