361  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are you doing now? on: June 30, 2020, 06:44:37 PM
I continued to participate in bounty to look for opportunities to earn money from it, in addition, I still participated in trading and holding altcoin. Since the end of 2019, it has helped me to make a lot of profits and so I'm still pursuing it

This is a good idea if you can make money for by the regular coins then you can build little aggressive portfolio and invest in new projects which is good for the long term . I had some bad investment initially and lost some money and then later decided to avoid it since many turn out to be worthless coins in the long run and investors lose their money .

Cases will rise in all parts of the world once the country opens the lockdown because heir is no vaccination. So, either option is to keep entire country lockdown till we have vaccination or in some way try to build the operating procedures and norms and ask people to take care of them self and maintain distance and wear masks and start working slowly. As economy cannot be shut for months else people will die due to no food, no money etc so its hard decision which all government has to take it.
Even now those things are happening in India, millions of people lost their jobs and starving for food but even now government is looting people's money in the name of relief packages. Smiley

This is what is horrifying the world as well that once the re-opening of the economy happens there could be many job losses and what will they do. Hopefully something better will happen and industries, companies should try to accommodate their staff rather than removing it if possible. Yes, the relief packages what is being announced should be reaching till the last person as they need it the most.

Long years ago, itself I gave up the idea of mining because of the electricity costs is too high. Equipment cost was high and then difficulty level keeps on increasing which just make it less attractive to mine the coins. Thus, investing was a better option for me than thinking of mining and take care of those expenses and require some space as well for the setup etc.

Your life was never in any danger. Not in a danger from this pandemic at least.

If you're not over 60 years old you have nothing to fear and if you are there's no reason why you should go gamble in a casino. Rent out a boat and go fishing or something and have one less thing to worry about.

It's good they're opening casinos. Every person should measure their own risk and be able to choose. I'm tired of the government choosing for me.


Children as young as thirteen have died after contracting Covid-19.  Your statement is factually not true.  I'll stop short of saying it is a lie, but it is seriously incorrect.

I agree with Timelord2067, in our country, 60 years old are required to stay at home and children 18 below are also treated the same, maybe they have weaker immune system so the authorities required them to stay at home.

That is the same here in our country.

As far as I know, those old people, 60 and above are more vulnerable in this pandemic which is why they need to stay in their houses. I don't know about those people aged below 18. I think that is normal when it comes to lockdowns or maybe when it is curfew. There are cases there too of COVID in below 18 years of age and they are just so pitiful. Just imagine a 10-year-old being quarantined. Gamblers over 60 should just have fun doing it online.

At this point too, online holds the key. Though we are seeing some casinos have started to open up with the safety measure as its their business and also they have to pay up their employees so right on their part, but for people who can avoid it must avoid going to casinos for now. Because still virus is very much active till we have vaccine and it would not make much send to risk too much just to gamble it in casinos for the time being.

Credit card is a boon and curse as well. It depends upon you how do you use it. At times people get carried away because you do not have to pay immediate money and do shopping or spend unnecessary since you have credit card and on other hand if you really require it or it’s an emergency this acts as a saviour too. Also benefits like rewards points, discounts on shopping, hotels, flights etc can be benefited if you use it rationally.

This is the need of the hour and since maintaining social distance is a must in this times, so we cannot allow the live crowd firstly in full capacity and if board decides to avoid the live audience then this idea of having the virtual fans and crowd noise is really worthwhile. because there are some games which requires the audience cheering up as it encourages the players and team. Also, this could be replicate in many other games for now.
368  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A lot of Americans still don't know what Bitcoin is on: June 28, 2020, 02:47:47 PM
This is quite surprising that lot of Americans yet do know about it. Because its fine if people do not invest or trade with crypto out there. But not knowing itself is a very big thing for me to know. Because now even smaller countries which are under developed know about it though may not be all of them but still its more than a decade old bitcoin being existing.
369  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading mistakes on: June 28, 2020, 10:38:50 AM
Couple of mistakes during my initial trading days which I had made it resulted in losses. But later on after learning I ensured that those are not repeated.


1)   Always trade with the stop loss. Else in high volatile day we will not known how quickly we  lose our money.
2)   Avoid borrowing the money from others to trade. If you do not have own money first earn it and then only trade with those money.

There is another problem attached to it and that is when any of the best player is being tested positive this mean the original strength of the team is reduced and then bench players will be picked up. And something like this happens when many such players of a team is positive so then that tournament would not be played with best players or it would not be matching up to the other side strong players and world cup would is not where you would like such things to happen.
It is obvious if ten players are infected by Corona it takes a couple of months to recover and then start training it will take some time to get back into match fitness and the series is scheduled by the end of next month and hence it is likely they will be sending a second string of players and they are not having a huge bench strength let alone a competitive playing eleven and the series will be one sided and England will white wash the series easily.

Why will it take couple of months the maximum is 15 days for anyone to recover from covid 19, the tournament will start in August which means there is still time for Pakistani cricketers to recover. As a player there immune system will be far better than a common man and it is possible they might recover faster.

I just hope every player follows the social distancing norm and are fit before the game.

Also when these pakistani players will reach England they will be tested again and remain in quarantine for 14 days. This is not only for those who had covid19 but the whole cricket team will experience 14 days quarantine in England.

They won't be treated but they will quarantined as per the SOP. The problem is that Pakistani players did not take this disease seriously and that is why more than one have been tested positive. They should behave like professional if they want to play international cricket.

Good news from the Pakistan team is that six players who were positive has now tested and the results are negative. Those players are Hafez , Raiaz, Zaman, Shadab, Rizwan and Hasnain . Though they have not travelling with the team which they will be leaving today to England and will be under isolation for 2 weeks.
371  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum 2k in 2 months? on: June 28, 2020, 06:01:31 AM
ETH at 2k that too in 2 months, atleast if had said even 2 years would have sort of make people think about it. Currently approx. price of ETH has fallen from 240$ to 218$ since btc is on downtrend and has fallen from 9500 to 8900$. In order for even ETH to rise till 500$ itself may take some time as it will depend upon the move of the btc.
372  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The XRP price is headed for $ 0.24 on: June 27, 2020, 04:36:44 PM
I am holding this coin now for long time since the buying cost was approx. 1$ and I had bought it for long term only. I never sold this coin and though the value has fallen significantly after that and almost lost 4/5th of the price. But hopefully it will recover to some extent and will hep me to minimize the losses if it can cannot cross to 1$ in coming 1-2 years.
373  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you believe in crypto ratings? on: June 27, 2020, 10:33:21 AM
I would not consider it as a 100% that we can just blindly believe in this rating. Instead we should be using our own research and accordingly invest in any coins and should be using some basic rules like only investing limited which we can afford to lose it. Not to invest in just one coins etc. Rating can just be a parameter while investing but should not be the only parameter on which decision is taken.

For Pakistan team and fan, it may be the good news that PCB may reconsider their policy for people who is found Covid positive to test only once now and if it comes as negative then they could be part of team. Previous it was like test would be done twice and only if both results show as negative then only, they will be part of team.

PCB is completely confused and does not have a clue what it needed to do. It is good to know that they are now clear about what they will be doing in the future. If done correctly then one test is sufficient to determine a person is Covid19 positive or negative.
Right now PCB is one of worst management in sports because most of officials are on political basis or personal like or dislike so no one can give any update what is coming next and how they are going to manage this all few days back we have 10 players positive for Corona and now few feeling reports are not right so currently all bad is coming for them.

Seriously 10 players from Pakistan cricket team are covid-19 +ive ? Shocked  That's alarming high number. Do you know the cause as how the whole team can get affected by covid19 ?

In such scenario, T20 world cup and other tournaments are hard to resume because if players are affected by covid19 without playing cricket, what will happen if they start to play ?

T10 is not the real game of cricket because you hardy can do in that number of overs and also not every player will get a chance to show their skills too. T20 is something which is more or less the perfect shorter game and anything shorter would not be real entertaining as well. Also consider that crowd which comes to watch from various cities in the stadium in traffic may take much longer to and for distance than just to watch T10 match in stadium. So this would not be the real incentive for them too.
376  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Couple was forcibly ask by IRS to sell their crypto to pay their liabilities on: June 27, 2020, 04:33:31 AM
I would have payed the tax and settle the dues and closed the case considering I am liable for the above said amount . But surely why would they not be paying it when they have money and why would they want to make it the big news and now many things would be find out by IRS and also they be under suspicion as haveing money and not paying it this no government would ever want it . Unless some one has lost the money or something and does not have really to pay that becomes different story .
377  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why people are happy only when the price goes up? on: June 26, 2020, 06:45:49 PM
On a personal level when people have bought the coin and market goes up or their investment value rises everyone will fell good beacuse they have made money though it is still unreal it’s until sold it . On other hand when you are not holding it and want to buy at that time you will like market to be lower so that you will be able to buy at lower price . So it’s not always wine happy moment when price goes up .

India vs Pakistan
True, If there is no political quackery then arguably comes at top 3 biggest rivalry in all sports, way bigger than The Ashes. There is a reason more than a billion people stop working voluntary when India and Pakistan playing against each other.

This is the biggest riverly atleast in cricket hitsory India vs Pakistan as both countries literally come to stand still. I do remember that whenever India vs Pakistan meets in any of the world cups tournament the country sees very less crowds on roads or in offices. Everyone is busy watching this match. Also people who are not much intro cricket or take least interest also do not miss out watching this major match between both the countries and excitement is all together at different levels. Many organizations specially to this match put the big screen their offices so that they come to work and also can enjoy match too.

Sorry to hear about you hard fact of life what you have gone through in this year. I hope you get more strength and overcome all difficulties in life and be back to normal once things settles due to pandemic situation is over. You are very strong as you have accepted it the way it is and want to work and get back on track. There is a saying that when such bad things happen too quickly there is something good hidden behind it. It is that ray of hope you need to catch and figure it out which will change your life and believe it will be only for good. Also, this is the time when your girlfriend if she really loved you should be with you and she left just because she loves money, so you are all safe now because you identified who really deserves to be in your life and who should be out.
