On the other hand, I think Adesanya will dominate Gastelum. I mean, he is more aggressive than the other but if Gastelum able to win this fight then he might probably get more respect from the crowd. He can now erase the thinking of others that he only got a lucky punch against Bisping (or am I the only one who think of this ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ). When it comes to striking Adesanya has the upper hand but what happens if Gastelum controls Adesanya on the ground, he is a black belt in BJJ and has wrestling background on the other hand Adesanya does have a good take down defense and that makes this an interesting fight, Bisping jumped in too early after his loss to GSP and it was evident that Bisping was not in prime shape inside the octagon with Gastelum and it was not a lucky punch, it was a straight flush. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I think Max has improved a lot since facing Dustin. And if my memory serves me right, it was Max' debut in UFC and Dustin give him that rude awakening entering Octagon. I will go with Holloway this time, again he has improved and has the experience and the tools to beat Dustin in the rematch.
Both fighters have improved a lot from that stage and Max was around 20 years old when he fought Dustin and now his striking skills has improved a lot, hopefully we will be seeing Max v Khabib which is another interesting contest because of the take down defense of Max but does it matter when it comes to an animal like Khabib who will take down anyone. I've been waiting for their rematch and finally, it has come. Its been a long since they first fought and back then they were so young. I think Poirier will beat Max again but this time it's a K.O, unlike a submission win when he first fought Max.
They both fought at 145 pounds in the beginning of their career and both has improved tremendously and Max became the champion in that division while Poirier is still searching for his first title, so the advantage as a championship level experience and that too in big fights goes to Max and he will be probably bigger than Poirier in terms of height and reach.

There's a lot of crypto exchanges rising out there every now and then but then very few of them are successful. As I noticed a lot of crypto exchanges platform are conducting ICOs, with the current market competitions I don't believe there will be a big chance for their success.
Anyone can be successful if they come up with a better solution than the rest of the huge and highly established exchanges. The competition is really stiff and with regulations coming up you need to have a good bank roll to get on with the project smoothly, security is the biggest factor and one mess up will ruin your career.

I have being hearing about these exchange offers but never bothered to look into it till now as the past experience with the ICO market is not that great, just a pump and dump scheme for all the tokens I have seen, I do have a doubt, if we invest in it what is the net benefit, do we get a bunch of tokens and wait for them to pump and get out with profit or we will get annual dividends, if it's the latter then I will invest without thinking twice. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Don't you get it yet? When Russia and China interfere it is A-OK, when the US interferes the sky is falling. Get with the program subject.
Just turn back and see the past ten to twenty years and the sky was falling all this while and so is the reason US got a reality TV star and businessman as the countries leader ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) . I am not certain why that happened but people might have rejected the fake promises by the veteran politicians and Hilary was not the right candidate for the opposition and they wanted a change from the normal structure. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

The bearish trend that commenced in December around 15, 2017 seem to be over and now we are awaiting another bull run that may create another pathways that we have never seeing before. My desired is that all the cryptocurrencies holders and enthusiast become millionaires, billionaires and the leaders of the world financial system.
The bear hug is over but never expect the big rally to embrace now, we have seen a spike with the aide of a hundred million dollar investment but it might not hold for a long time, we will see a range bound market until it breaks the next resistance. The market buzz is coming back and everyone who invested at 3k got in at the right time.
|
|
|
The initial rally started when there was a hundred million dollar order spread over several exchanges simultaneously took the market to five thousand level, I am expecting a pull down from this situation, let's see how the market reacts in a couple of days and them determine whether the market will rally further. Hopefully we will not see 3k level again.

All started from 14th over from Russell. Sad part of this evening is that I am done with gambling in IPL (may be). Last few days were terrible for me. Lost one after another bet and I need to take a break from gambling.
Andre Russel just stole the show with his power hitting and I really wonder what the odds would have being when Karthik got out with a lot of runs needed to win the match . ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Kohli does not know how to win these kind of matches and his sad face after every defeat is a common theme now, best two batsmen in the world in ABD and Kohli and still they cannot win even with runs on the board.

I go with Juggy777. I am not sure what made Sithara007 to say something like this. Cricket is the 2nd most playing sports in the world and loved by Billions.
I expect this world cup will be one of the best entertaining event in the history.
I am not sure whether cricket is the second most playing sport in the world but it has much fan following in a few Asian countries and so is the reason there is only a limited amount of teams playing international cricket, with the huge population around those cricket watching nations in Asia it is the second most sporting event in the world. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Since there are no minnows, the ICC hopes that the main market (India) will remain at least till the semi-final stage. Goes against the spirit of the game. They should make a rule that India will qualify to the next stage even if they lose all the matches in the group stage.
I understand your opinion on the big upset by small teams, but never expect any big upset like Buster Douglas defeating Tyson in cricket, minnows will be crushed by top 5 teams and these encounters are usually uneventful where you will see big teams scoring huge runs like a practice game.

I saw there are some discussions on this forum on the valuation of Bitcoin. I wonder whether you had derived similar methods to evaluate other tokens at the ICO stage? When you participated in other ICOs, what affected your decision of when and how much money you would throw into the ICO? Is your strategy in participating in ICOs affected by any particular information?
When you are investing into something in this market and that too in an ICO there are several factors that you take into consideration on how much amount you want to invest are, the team behind the project and the solutions they are planning to sort with their project, there were many scams who showcased better product in paper and never fulfilled anything, taking these risks i usually invest earlier in ICO.

For example Visa (mostly compared with Bitcoin) was established in late 1958. And it started their international size of work in 1974! [Bitcoin has made it in a few years].
The number of transaction being carried out in Visa and other payment platforms are really huge and you cannot compare it to bitcoin at this stage and we need to change some fundamental things to see those kind of transactions being carried out on a daily basis, it is always good to have a good healthy viable solutions like bitcoin that could interfere some big corporate monopolies who are controlling the market. There is still a big hurdle when it comes to purchasing bitcoin around the world and when that becomes smooth then we can compare it without other payment methods.

Read an interesting article on gambling altcoins that I posted in the BTC gambling forum but was told I'd likely get more discussion here. The article basically concluded that gambling alts (like FunFair, Edgeless, Wagerr etc.) are undervalued given that gambling is a key use case for cryptocurrencies. Of course, FunFair at one point had a $900m+ marketcap (now just $21m). Do you think these coins will bounce back? Will new ones emerge? Or do you think most people betting with crypto will stick with Bitcoin?
I am not sure about those coins being undervalued, people use bitcoin to gamble and when the price rises then some will look for other altcoins to gamble with, these exchanges created their own coin and if they want to promote their coin they can go for a campaign that gives discounts for the users using their native coin and so on, other than that i do not think people will be interested to trade these coins which have specific use.

Australia seem to be back in control after their ODI series win against India(3-2) which they won from a losing stage by the way and have already won this particular ODI series against Pakistan(3-0 at present) proving that they should not be underestimated in the upcoming World cup tournament.
The main difference in those two series is that the openers are back in form, Usman Khawaja Finch and Maxwell are back in form and they are performing consistently in the last 8 consecutive games they won in the trot and they are looking like a force to beat in the coming world cup, hopefully there wont be any injuries from playing IPL and other tournaments around the time of world cup. Pakistan played well but lose the match.when Pakistan chasing 327 run, one time most Pakistan supporters think its just near to be but pakistan Don't get.Australia won the asia after a long time.Australia won another series 5-0.
They are not good at chasing totals as they should have won two games while chasing if they could build partnerships and rotate the strike rather than attacking all the time and they lack a good finisher, there were some centuries from the Pakistan players and if they can perform collectively it will be a good sight to see.

Nope, don't think so. Khabib is just way too strong and he's just gonna throw Gaethje around like a rag doll imo. I'd like to see Gaethje go for Iaquinta then Khabib if he wins tho.
Khabib is just an animal without a doubt but nothing can be predicted in a fight and anything can happen, if one punch connects properly that is the end of the fight and Gaethje is a really explosive fighter but when Khabib grabs you the fight is literally over, i would like to see Gaethje facing Antony Pettis and it will be a great fight without a doubt.

What do you think? I don't pay much attention to altcoins so I haven't done much research on plenty of these. Or there are coins I've known a little bit about for a while but never done dedicated research on. Just really trying to get a good diversified portfolio of altcoins for the next bull run to go along with my Bitcoin dominated coin holdings.
Even though you do not pay much attention to altcoins you got all the coins up here ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) . I like Stellar, BAT, Tron, XMR and XRP are good coins that i would prefer to invest if you are looking for a long term investment as those projects looks promising and the teams behind those projects does have proven experience in the real market and so there is no doubt these projects will be successful.

Due to all this demand boom, for many it turns out to be very bad regulations, since it is a way to know who is behind the big money operations, the KYC a problem for those who want to continue operating under anonymity, the solution Are the coins anonymous? The market will take the direction there in the future?
It depends upon how you make those transactions that you remain anonymous even with privacy based coins like monero or dark or Zcash and its variant coins which forked off from them, if you are going to purchase something you are doing so with the help of an exchange where you have submitted all your documents revealing your identity, these privacy coins will help to make transactions so that no one follows your steps on where you spent those coins.

Big news! It seems that he has identified the bottom and is confident that a recovery is under way. Berkshire now has a bitcoin department which is why the price pumped this past week. Go get some!
The price of bitcoin does not revolve around one individual investment and there was a time when the market moved according to any news that is coming out, but that is not the case now and even if the news of an old man investing in bitcoin is a true ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) , it does not make any difference in price simply because of that, the market is showing signs of recovery and hopefully we will see the market breaking the first resistance in a weeks time.

Rabada did an excellent job here. He did not bowl well during the match, but he bowled extremely well during the super over. Most of his yorkers were on point. Many people are underestimating Delhi way too much due to their past failures, but their current side is capable of lifting the cup this year.
It is possible for Delhi to get to the final four and i was impressed by their performance against Mumbai, since the teams are changed every year i was expecting the low performing Delhi every year and i messed that bet altogether. Today we have Delhi and Punjab and i am expecting a good battle and going with Delhi to win the match as Gayle is not playing for Kings XI in this match.

You can't really underestimate people's stupidity and this is one classic example. How the hell it even crosses someone's mind to steal just to mine bitcoin for his own good? And on top of jail sentencing, he needs to pay a fine of 100,000 yuan (£10,930). You lost your freedom for three years and then you lost your mining gear and I'm sure by that time you get out, it's already obsolete and then you lost money here. How stupid move is that?
People does these stupid things in order to make profit, if he was running the miner and he will not end up in a profit and so is the reason he found a short cut to make easy money and i am sure there were many illegal mining being done around the world with stolen electricity and i have heard about people getting busted in news in the past few years and most of these illegal mining farms are common in Asian countries.

I am also thinking the same that how they can be benefited by faking the volume. Anyway they do not have data all the trades happening in the world. They should remove bogus exchanges from their site but what is their motivation in doing so?
I am not sure coinmarketcap is doing that or is that a delay in capturing the live data, yes anything can be done if they are paying them to do so, if that is the case their credibility will be at stake and the possibility of new exchanges to fake the volume is to attract new customers and advertisers, since there are plenty of exchanges people will look for the exchanges with a good volume to carry out the trade smoothly, other than that there is no benefit. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Normally, people complain about losses and that they cannot make money in the bear market and mater of fact is that they should invest in the bear market and not trade.
There are ways to make money in any market situation if you are good at price analysis and predict the price, future trading is an option you can try if you are interested to make money during a bear market, but it is a high risk market and be careful about the risk involved in a really volatile market like bitcoin and there are many people who made a ton of money when the market went down, the safest bet is buying when the market goes down and wait till the bulls appear.
