We wrote up a review for Binance to try to answer the question "Is Binance the best exchange for crypto trading?" We would love to get your feedback and hear which exchange you would like us to review next!
Binance was one of the best exchanges for crypto trading until we heard about the hack, any exchanges who does not have the ability to take care of their security cannot be termed as the best exchange, we all know the drama that unfolded during that time, i have not heard any user complaining that their funds were compromised but with the past history when it comes to exchange hacks in this market we have to be cautious trading in it for a while.

It's not even one of those well-timed and executed punches and JDS just went down. The guy totally lost his chin ad should consider retiring.
It might not be a well timed punch but that punch got connected to his chin and Francis Ngannou hits like a speeding truck and he could knock out anyone if he connects, JDS took punches from Derrick Lewis in his last fight and he went on to win the fight, so it is not his chin but the power of Ngannou.

Jon Jones vs Thiago Santos this weekend at 239.  Curious match up.  Santos is sooo aggro (and he's a hard hitter) and it could be what somebody needs to beat Jones.
Thiago Santos has the power to finish anyone in the division, but the question is whether he can outsmart Jones and land that heavy punch or his left kick.

Jon Jones is not only a smart fighter, but also a dirty fighter. My presictions is: Jones gonna use few dirty tricks, receives a card and -1 point. But will win anyway. With dirty tricks he will destroy Santos fight plan and make him make mistakes because of anger.
I expect Thiago Santos to gas himself out and Jones will finish him by ground and pound  Cheesy.

It's down to $10,900.  It was at $13,600 yesterday. What the hell is going on !?!?

Like a fool I bought some at $13,600. Regrets?
The market had a crazy ride for a while and it broke all resistance for over a month and now we are consolidating and we are seeing a small correction, never expect the market to rally all the time, you made your decision to enter when the price was riding which is always a bad idea, there is nothing to regret as the market will recover again, just be patient and look for the market in the long term rather than panicking, we all expect that the market will touch another all time high valuation after halving  Wink.

HIT the ball (!) when your require run rate is over 12 runs per over and you have five wickets in hand.
It was evident from the start that they were not looking for the win, there are many rumors going around online regarding the match as if India lost the match on purpose, not sure whether they would do that to face some team in the semi finals they wanted  Huh.

So Indian batsmen aren't capable of handling the mixture of fast and slow balls ? We never knew that  Cheesy
Everyone witnessed how the Indian players were finding it difficult to read the delivers and if they could they would have won the game rather than play a test match when you got a big total to chase  Tongue.

West Indies lost crucial wickets and still they are on the match as they need 42 runs from 26 balls, they were sloppy with three run outs which changed the match altogether and Pooran is still in the crease, but it looks like a difficult chase for West Indies from this situation as Pooran is the only established batsman.

India were never in contention to win this match because of the way they approached it, first their players were lethargic in fielding, then their bowlers gifted England tons of runs. The biggest culprit for me is their opener Rohit and Indian captain Virat, the way they wasted the starting 10 overs ended India’s hope of winning the game. Ms Dhoni was never going to finish it and we all know he can’t hit due to his age, he’s only there for his wicket keeping skills so pointless screaming at him.
The England bowlers bowled really well from the beginning and the slow start in the first ten overs and the time Rohit took to get going have cost the game as the run rate kept creeping and Dhoni cannot do anything when you need 100 runs in 45 balls and the English bowlers were mixing up slower delivers and it is hard to pick if they usually bowl at 144 KMPH and then mix it up with 118 KMPH deliveries and Rohit got out to a slower delivery and Pant got out to a brilliant catch, move on to the next match and learn from the mistakes.
4186  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Iran seizes 1,000 Bitcoin mining machines after power spike on: July 01, 2019, 12:08:07 PM
Can this confirmed that indeed Iran is already into bitcoin now as a hedge specially as fears of a total war with US?
I have interacted with many players from Iran in the gambling sites a couple of years back and from what i know from their perceptive is that there is an interest for bitcoin for a long time, majority of the people i interacted are not active in this forum but they are very much active in the trading and spend some time gambling and it is going on for a long time and some have accumulated huge amount of profits. So what i am trying to tell basically is that it is not a new thing, the people from Iran are active in the market for years and now we might see more people coming into the market like the rest of the world.
Not sure why these machines are seizes, whether they broke any rule by using huge amount of electricity or is it illegal to mine in Iran ?.

Then, you have to ROI to get that money back, what will happen if the war breaks tomorrow?
You're going to flee the country with a 9.5kg miner in your backpack?
Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy That was a good response. Kiss

Needs 120 from 69 balls and Sharma is also gone which means the chances are getting slimmer but remember Dhoni is still there who can get the game away from opposition in few overs so need to see him in the last 7 overs if India want to win this match.And the bowling of Archer is also important in the death to decide which is going to be a winner.
Hardik Pandey gone now and now we have Dhoni and Jadhav in the crease and England are bowling really well mixing up the slower delivery and it is difficult to score easily and the run rate is climbing and it is an impossible task now with 60 odd runs to get from 4 overs, either way it was a good match of cricket and both teams played really well and England controlled the match from the start, it is a good experience for India and it will help in the latter part of the tournament.

First of all, I think it will be a great educational video that can explain much for newbies and secondly, this movie can push bitcoin's and altcoin's price reach the sky (don't perceive it literally). What do u think?
It will be a good introduction for the people who are willing to know and learn about the market, still not sure what the script of the documentary is all about until they release it, i am not sure whether these videos will push the market further, as people said earlier here, it will be a good advertisement for the market for the people who are yet to join the market that being said the alt coin market will die down eventually and we are not sure how the regulators will deal with the anon coins, only trust the bitcoin market for the long run  Wink.

India started really slow and the pressure will build eventually if they do not increase their run rate it will be a huge target to achieve, India would have sent Panth as the opener to chase the total instead of Rahul who always starts slow and with the injury he sustained in the field he went for a duck, hopefully Kohli and Rohit can build a good partnership and increase the run rate eventually to win the match.
If England can win here then they can they have a good chance to qualify for the semis.
4190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Cricket World Cup - Discussion & Analysis on: June 30, 2019, 11:10:11 AM
With Jason Roy back in the team after the injury they had the best start on a batting pitch and they are posed to score over 350 runs once again, India had an opportunity to review for a wicket when Roy edged to the keeper but Kohli did not went upstairs and that was a big mistake as they are finding it hard to break the opening partnership, Shami bowled really well but there were many inside edge boundaries which was unfortunate. If they cannot take wickets then it will be a difficult run chase even in this pitch.
4191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Cricket World Cup - Discussion & Analysis on: June 30, 2019, 06:50:47 AM
Afghanistan again was so close to winning this match like against India yet lost this match against Pakistan. OZ outplayed the NZ and this is not a good sign as NZ is strong contender for the WC winners and this put OZ now in the first place.
Pakistan always like to play with fire and the match against Afghanistan showed once again that they are not good at chasing, every time they win the toss they can play freely and make a good score on the board and with the bowling they have, they can defend the total, historically they are not good at playing under pressure, if not for the special innings from Imad Wasim they would have lost here.
Australia steam rolled New Zealand, i expected Australia to win the match considering their strong performances in world cup tournaments and yet again they demonstrated they could handle New Zealand in the big tournaments.
4192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Whats your 3 month/6 month forecast for Altcoins/Cryptos on: June 27, 2019, 10:52:34 PM
I am holding XRP, ETH and BLZ at the moment. I will sell my XRP's when the price will hit my 1 USD target to buy BTC. My eth/btc target is 0.1. I will also sell my eth at that price. and my BLZ target is 2000 sat.

And I will be happy with my BTC amount.
Good luck with the hope of getting $1 for XRP, you might not see that valuation in the near future and if you keep on waiting the price of bitcoin will reach another stratosphere by that time, the best thing you can do is to dumb that shit coin at a good price and get hold of bitcoin while you can and if you are looking for profit in the long run, bitcoin is the only legit coin you can trust in the long run. Wink
Today we saw a good correction, we might see a range bound valuation for sometime until the next run starts and get your coins during this period if you are looking for profit.
4193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: any reason for this biggest drop? on: June 27, 2019, 10:17:35 PM
The same thing happened in 2017.  A similar thing happened in 2014, although Mt. Gox had a hand in that debacle.  Right now I just think there's too many people with too much money getting in and buying.  IMO now is not a good time to be buying bitcoin.  I'm just going to wait and see what happens.
The market situation are similar like in the past and the price was moving higher without any breaks breaking every resistance and it looks like the market was looking for some major news for the correction and that happened in the form of coinbase having issues with their site.

@OP this is not the biggest drop in price for bitcoin, if you check the historical price data you might understand it.
4194  Local / Press & News from India / Re: Indian Govt. committee is proposing 10 years jail for dealing in crypto on: June 27, 2019, 07:53:14 PM
Well, I'm not from India but this clearly sucks if true. When developed countries like US, Japan & Europe are positively adopting this new tech, India is joining the likes of third world countries.
India is a developing country or in other words it is a third world country trying to come up with a regulation for more than a year and yet did not finally decided what to do with the market even if they destroy all the companies that invested money, it is a really pathetic situation.

this is just a proposed draft, final bill comes to effect after passing from Houses of Parliament which is subject to several changes in the draft. So it is too early to fear anything.
It might be a draft but till now and there is no clarity on how the market will be and now another exchange koinex shut their doors because of the terms of jail sentence proposed in the draft bill and these stance by the government will drive the market outside of the country because of these hostile situation.
4195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the future of the Altcoins that have less than 1(one) satoshi as value on: June 27, 2019, 07:29:31 PM
They have potential to raise, because they obviously cannot fall anymore. A good example is the FREE coin that is boosting from time to time and is worth more than several satoshis, so you can easily make profit from such coins.
It is just a fools errand to dream that those stagnated projects will have a life again, it cannot fall further than one satoshi but it will go beyond that either and you can find many projects like that in the market and once these coins are removed from the few exchanges it is listed, then it will be the end of the road, i am sure those coins will be having zero trading volume and eventually the exchange will delist those coins, before that sell those if not you will be holding those coins forever.

As expected the Indian bowlers is wrapping up the West Indies batting line up and only one wicket more to get to wrap up the match, Indies does have the best bowling line up in the entire tournament and probably the best bowling line India and the bench strength is also great, if the batsmen is able to score a decent total then this bowling line up is more than enough to restrict any batting line up, now i am interested to see how India will perform against England who also have a strong batting line up but failed a few times in this tournament already  Grin.
4197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: CWC2019 Prediction Pool - Win x BTC [Additional prize in every round] on: June 27, 2019, 01:09:16 PM
We have not seen a big scoring match (320+ runs) from last few days, I think it's been a week. Precisely after the Bangladesh vs Australia match. Before that in most of the matches we have seen high scores.
I think the pitches are going slow as the tournament progress.
Back to today's match, It seem we will see another under 300 runs inning, may be 280 to 290 runs. However I think this will be enough for India to defend.
If the Indian openers failed to score big runs, India is struggling to put up a huge total on the board and with the tournament progressing we are seeing sub 300 scores and the pitches look difficult to score runs freely and with the bowling line up India has, it is a good battle between bat and ball rather than seeing one sided huge scores. If India could take early wickets and put pressure on the West Indies openers and Shimron Hetmyer, then it is a game for India to win as we have a good bowling line up.
4198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: June 26, 2019, 11:31:50 PM
JDS has to take the fight to the ground if he wants to win. He'll end up like Overeem in that video if he chooses a stand up. I might go for Ngannou here.
In the heavyweight division one punch can end the fight, both are powerful strikers and if Junior dos Santos can connect the first punch, then you might even see Francis Ngannou getting knocked out cold, it is a hard fight to predict because both are one punch knock out artist and if you go for experience i would pick JDS to win here.

And With the UFC 242: Khabib VS Poirier my thought would be for Khabib to really win this match, I have seen how Khabib Conquers every submission he could think of, But he might want to be very careful with Poirier's punching power, But All in all my bet will surely go with Nurmagomedov Khabib in this fight.
I really doubt anyone could defeat Khabib Nurmagomedov in the 155 pound division, the fight i want to see is with Tony Ferguson who also has slick submission game on the ground.
4199  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin prices skyrocket thanks to Facebook on: June 26, 2019, 10:45:37 PM
Investigating, the presence of Facebook's digital currency has contributed to controlling the value of Bitcoin. Some investors say the social networking plan is encouraging people to buy Bitcoin. This shows optimism for the increasingly widespread application of cryptocurrency in the mainstream financial system.
I really do not think so that the introduction and announcement of Libra has anything to do with the recent rally, if people are excited about a centralized coin why would the rally starts in bitcoin. Main stream financial institutions have stake in bitcoin as they have already invested in the past and the possibility of halving and the expected price rise could attract many huge investors to invest earlier and hence the rally and not because of some centralized coin announcement.

In addition, the company made by Mark Zuckerberg also targets the currency to be used in developing countries where many residents still do not have bank accounts.
If people are not even having bank accounts how will a centralized coin change those situation, you need infrastructure to make those changes and people who does not bother to have an account or never had the opportunity will not risk their money in any other platform. It is easy to say that it will help the developing countries but how they are going to achieve it is the biggest question  Cheesy.

Come one New Zealand, get a wicket and make Pakistan to suffer LOL
The resurgence of Pakistan has surprised everybody and the amount of hate the team received after their defeat against India has forced the team management to change their team composition and now they are playing as a unit but still i am not convinced by the captaincy of Sarfaraz Ahmed to take critical decisions at crucial times.
Tomorrow we have West Indies facing India and with the bowling power house they have, they will win without much sweat unless Gayle scores a huge ton and the rest of the team chip in to score a huge total.
