The crypto exchanges and their security are not up to the mark when you compare the the rest of the financial exchanges, rarely do you hear a hack in the stock exchange, the reason is that they take the security seriously and make sure no one can compromise it and there are other securities and bonds involved if your money is lost through the hack if it is not your fault, but in this space every year you will hear multiple exchanges being hacked and so on and there is no way you can trust any exchanges with your coins.

All the big financial institutions are aware of the bitcoin market and the profit margin it can give than the rest of the financial markets and it is not a hidden truth anymore, the arrival of a central coin like Libra might attract people who are not interested in the market till this time and i highly doubt whether these people will get attracted by a decentralized coin like bitcoin and by the time the coin is released the price of bitcoin could very well cross $20000 and those huge valuation might not attract the common citizens to view bitcoin as an investment platform either.

Things are really getting interesting with Pakistan defeating New Zealand and if they can win a couple of matches then they will reach the semi finals which i did not expect after their dismal performance earlier in the tournament, looks like the changes in the team composition made all the difference for Pakistan and there is a possibility that India and Pakistan could face each other again in the semi or in the final and if that happens it will be a historic event. India passed all the test till now but one bad day after this round could change everything, if they perform consistently like they did till now then there will be no challengers as they have the best bowling unit and a world class top order.

With the way the market is moving, we might cross the all time high valuation once again before the halving and if they continue to rise like this we might touch the all time valuation in a few weeks time, the biggest question i have is that, how the market will react after that, will we see a correction or it will stagnate for a while till the halving and then the steam starts again, i am still not sure why the market is moving in a frenzy in the past few weeks breaking all resistance, either way it is good to see the market recover like this after a huge bear run.

New Zealand are building a partnership with Neesham and Grandhomme in the crease and with 4 overs to go they might well score over 230 runs and if Pakistan is not able to pick wickets they might target to score over 250 runs to have a total to defend and New Zealand does have good bowlers who could swing the ball and create all the problems for the fragile Pakistan batting line up and if they do not play sensibly it will be a big total to chase if they score close to 250 runs.

It looks like Pakistan has rejuvenated after their defeat against India and with the changes they made in the team after that are paying off and with the way things are going it looks like 230 would the targeted score New Zealand are trying to reach and Pakistan can maintain the pressure and take wickets then they could fold them easily and if Pakistan can play carefully against the swinging deliveries of Boult then they can win the match and the chances to get to the knockout is a possibility.

Not sure what kind of conspiracy theory is that, what does Sania Mirza has to do with the Pakistan cricket team selection, a player can be out of form and that does not mean that he is not sincere in playing the game, i have seen many tabloids making stories after the loss of Pakistan against India and then linking the dedication of Shoaib Malik to the team as he went out with his wife Sania Mirza to have food the day of the match and so on  .

I am not sure the least developed countries are doing anything to support bitcoin, it is a fact that any new platform will create job opportunities and not everyone can receive money for free, you need to have some skill set to make money as you will not get anything for free. The governments that are against bitcoin and its adoption are countries that are least developed and economically deprived and the reason for the the ban is simply because they cannot understand how to implement a law for a global currency that could benefit them, instead they find excuses to ban them citing illegal activities money laundering and terrorist funding can be made through a public ledger that can be traced.

Anyone can speculate any price they want and you really cannot expect what the price would be in the future, considering that there will be more strict regulations in the coming years and you cannot predict what the future would be, it is hard to expect that the price would go up all the time but considering that the halving is coming up next year every is expecting the price would rise and considering the current market situation anything is possible. I do expect that we would touch the all time high valuation with the next rally but going to $100000 is a huge total to accomplish at this stage.

I am not telling that this is not happening, people who have a computer degree and have knowledge about blockchain are considered as an expert  , what i know personally from my former colleagues  last year is that major IT companies like Infosys and TCS started picking people from their ranks and started educating them about the new technology and formed a team to explore about the possibilities about blockchain and to come up with new projects.

Australia just messed up their good start they had and there is no way they are going to reach anywhere near 300 runs with the way things are going and with Cummins in the crease along with Carey i expect them to score 280 runs to the max as there is only 3 overs left and with the strong batting line up England has, i really do think they will chase it comfortably unless they mess this up again  .

That is exactly the truth, participation in bounties does not mean that they are supporting crypto, they are from deprived countries and they are taking advantage of the situation where they can earn more money than their annual salaries from their job than the common individual who earn much less than what they earn through mere bounties sitting at home.

Shakib Al Hasan is turning out to be the most valuable player in the tournament with his all round performance with his bat and ball with 476 runs scored till now and took 9 wickets till now which is incredible, i never played fantasy player till now, anyone here playing it, if so i would like to know the best site to do that.
 
Shakib Al Hasan is the best player Bangladesh produced till now in every format and because of him they are able to challenge and upset any good team on their day and with his consistent performance in this world cup he is showing his value to his team and he might be a cricket god in Bangladesh as i am not sure as i am not following their media .

Brathwaite playing an incredible innings now and he is taking West Indies closer to victory with his big hits and if he can take them home it will be an incredible win, just one wicket more for New Zealand to win, i never expected this turnaround from Brathwaite who is trying to replicate his T20 exploits he did a few years back to win the tournament and if he is able to pull this off, it will be the greatest innings in cricket history.

Edit: West Indies just need 8 runs from 10 balls with 1 wicket remaining.

Anyone can predict anything and if the price goes that much then breaking the million dollar mark will be the next target, but how long it will take to reach those valuation is another story and personally i do not trust anything McAfee says as he used to advertise for scam ICO in the past and he showcased that he will advertise anything if he gets some money even if that means the project is to lure people into investing their money and run away with it.

Indian bowlers have taken the game to the last two overs and Afghanistan is facing the best two quick bowlers in world cricket and the chances of taking the game away from India is a hard task. India bowled really well and initially i thought it would be a boring encounter but Afghanistan played really well and tested the Indian players and it was a good game of cricket.

Edit: As expected Shami and Bumrah bowled exceptionally well in the last two overs and Shami took a hat trick in the end .

Having a reality check before the knock out period is a good thing and it is going to be a tight match as Afghanistan has good clean hitters who can clear the boundary and the only way they can shut them down is by bowling short pitch bowling as Afghanistan usually had a tough time against those deliveries.
With Sri Lanka winning the match against England which i never expected, the upsets keep on happening in this world cup.
NZ lost both their openers for golden duck today, not seen any team loosing both openers like that in a long time.

It is a really difficult task even for top order teams with best players in their ranks and there is no point in chasing a big total like that and end up getting all out for a low score, to keep their confident going taking the match till the end and scoring the maximum runs they can would boost their morale rather than chasing the impossible task and that is what they did exactly, i expected them to chase and end up scoring less than 300 but they wanted to play till the end even if they knew that they lost the match from the start.

I am not sure what you are implying here, institutional investors will not invest unless they are certain that they can earn bigger profits than the rest of the markets and even if the initial investors become rich who cares if they are getting their profit  . If you look at any financial market early investors have undue advantage and they will be the biggest earners than the rest of the investors who came in late and there is nothing wrong in that and that is how the world revolves and if you miss the train there is nothing there to be done  .

The fraud industry is a huge sector and is being is taking place since the advent of internet on a global scale and everyone was attracted to the new ICO market including the fraudsters who scammed people with penny stock schemes and IPO scams in the past and so is the reason we saw many frauds taking place in this market for the past few years, billions have being lost to these fraudsters and till now i have not heard anyone being caught running these scams but the irony is that these scams who took place in bitcoin with a recorded ledger which can track every transactions has the possibility to catch these fraudsters in the future as no one can erase those tracks.
