I think you're right. Binance is the most trusted exchange and should be ranked number 1 and not 13. Or maybe they have a good reason.
Thanks for the good laugh.
Kicked out of several countries (China, Hong Kong, Japan and Malta) and now headquartered in the Cayman Islands a truly trusting place.

I agree that there is no such thing as a trustworthy exchange. But here you are mixing up two unrelated things. They were forced to move out of China and Hong Kong due to the hostile policies from the government regarding cryptocurrency. I am not a big fan of Binance... but we don't have that many options out there. The other exchanges are even worse.

The problem is that a lot of the cryptocurrency users are using the past incidents to predict the future. It is true that the fourth quarter have normally witnessed spikes in the cryptocurrency market. This happened in 2013, and again in 2017 (when we reached ATH). But I don't think that it is going to happen every year. A lot of the users have already accumulated coins, in anticipation of the block reward halving. And if something goes wrong, then we may witness a major correction.

3 New Bilateral Tours are coming up fellas.

- Australia Tour of South Africa 21st Feb (4 t-20 and 2 ODI)   
- West Indies Tour of Sri Lanka 22nd Feb ( 4 ODI and 2 T-20 )
- Zimbabwe tour of Bangladesh 22nd Feb ( 1 Test , 3 ODI and 2 T-20)

ODI series seems pointless this year TBH. Anyways some interesting encounter are coming, Warner-Smith duo entering in the South Africa's territory after "Sandpaper gate" Scandal (It happened in SA). Let's see if they face any backlash from the spectators.

Warner and Smith will be having their revenge against the lowly South Africans. The best batsmen since the time of Don Bradman lost precious 12 months, as a result of all this drama by the South Africans. What they did was against the law, but it is something almost every fast bowler does in test matches. They were unlucky to be caught. And the South Africans blew it out of proportion. Anyway... that's all past. This time, the South African bowlers are going to get destroyed by Smith.
4844  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: XRP ready to make an Epic rally... on: February 18, 2020, 01:49:16 PM
XRP is one of the most centralized cryptocurrencies available in the market, with less than 10% of the circulating supply available as free-float. Under such circumstances it is easy to manipulate the prices of XRP in the exchanges (at least when compared to the other coins). But the big question is how XRP will be able to sustain these gains for an extended period of time.

^^^^ The omission of Glenn Maxwell surprised me. He is one of the hardest hitters in T20 format across the globe. Mediocre players such as D'Árcy Short, Alex Carrey and Mattew Wade have been selected to the squad and Maxwell was omitted. Normally I don't complain much about the Australian selection policy, but this one raises a red flag for me.
4846  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What happens to BNB after 5 years? on: February 17, 2020, 04:34:28 PM
BNB exchange prices are entirely dependent upon the well being of the Binance exchange. Although the exchange is doing pretty well in the current situation, we don't know what will happen after 5 years. I am saying this, because I have seen a lot of large exchanges folding before my own eyes. And the list includes Mt Gox in 2014 to Cryptopia in 2019.
4847  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons why exchange coins moving up.. on: February 17, 2020, 04:10:03 PM
After all the scams involving shitcoins over the past few years, users have now come to a conclusion that only coins having real life usage can be trusted. And when we talk about real life usage, there can be no better example other than the exchange coins. And this is one of the reasons why many of these coins such as BNB and Huobi Token have gone up steeply during the past few months.
4848  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH could reach $440 if bullish on: February 17, 2020, 03:58:46 PM
The ERC-20 platform has witnessed a decline in usage during the past few months. The ICO market is in its death bed. Despite of all this, if the ETH prices continue to increase, then I have to say that the spike is solely a result of the increase in exchange rates for Bitcoin. And since it is overly dependent on BTC, I don't expect these prices to last long.
4849  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What the shit is happening in CMC? on: February 17, 2020, 03:23:25 PM
Coinmarketcap should stop doing this shit job. They are helping scammers in a different way. CMC recently added liquidity option then why they still ranking these shit exchanges on the top! Bilaxy is the number one exchange according to trading volume, Fatbtc is number 3 and the hall of shit IEO P2PB2B exchange on 4th place where Binance is 13 ranked exchange! Such a hypocrite, ridiculously job by the CMC. They should stop it right now, these shit, fake volume exchanges are ruining the honesty of the crypto world. What do you guys think about it?

Coinmarket just lists the market capitalization of various cryptocurrencies and their volumes. They are not a reviewing site and therefore they can't label any of these exchanges as scam sites. Whether you like it or not, many of these exchanges have large volumes (although the figures may be rigged) and CMC is obliged to show the real numbers in their website.
4850  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: To All Bounty hunters on: February 17, 2020, 03:17:18 PM
New bounty projects can't trusted, I've seen where by the team dumped on exchanges themselves, holding on these tokens will make you lose your reward totally compared to if you dump for bitcoin or  Ethereum, think twice
The bounty can still be trusted but that depends on how you can choose it. So many bounty hunters are still getting paid by the trusted project and in this case, i didn't mean about the bitcoin campaign but some bounty campaigns are still paying the participant with the decent amount of money.

For the new users, there are very few options available to earn some cryptocurrency, apart from bounty campaigns. There are a few signature campaigns that make the payment in Bitcoin, but most of them are unavailable for the lower ranks. Anyway, too few spots are available with them and for every open slot, you may find hundreds of applications.
4851  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 17, 2020, 03:02:31 PM
If South Africa opted to bowl first, the total story would have been complete different; I am saying this with consideration of wonderful batting pitch and South Africa chose to bat first due to their 2 run defeat in second T20I. Sounds like misled by recent tracks rather than considering the nature of flat pitch. Luckily I bet on England and got good returns as odds were too good.

England seems too stronger with their batting line up compared to their bowling unit. This may be due to the flat pitch almost all the bowlers were leaking runs there. I choose England with half mind as hosts are always my favorite to bet with but my inner thoughts guided me to bet on England and I was right with my prediction. Really a rare one for me Smiley.

The pitch was not much different from the other T20 surfaces. Rather than the ground conditions, it was the smaller boundaries which gave extra advantage to the batsmen. On top of that, both the teams were strong in their batting departments and weak in bowling. England was missing star bowlers such as Jofra Archer, while South Africa was missing Rabada.

^^^^ The tour might have got delayed, but it is very encouraging sign that a non-Asian team has agreed to tour Pakistan. I hope that very soon the big 3 teams (Australia and England) would also consider touring the country. For some years now, the ground situation in Pakistan has remained peaceful. I won't be even surprised if Pakistan wins the hosting rights to some of the ICC tournaments.
4853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 17, 2020, 02:37:18 PM
Fast bowling is a concern, as they consistently conceded over 200 in the T20 series. Even Dale Steyn looked out of form. Ngidi looked good in the first match, but he was very expensive in the second and third matches. Andile Phehlukwayo was mediocre, and I really hope that they will replace him with someone who is more capable of bowling at the death overs.
Dale Steyn is coming back in the team after a long lay off and he will need some matches to get back in his groove and their world cup squad will consist of Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada and Dale Steyn and it will be a good formidable attack and they need to find two bowlers to complete the quota. The Australian grounds will be bigger and if they create pitches that have equal importance to bowlers and batsman then it would be a good contest for all the team. Australia, India and England are the favorites to win the cup and if ABD returns it will strengthen South Africa and their possibilities.

Steyn/Ngidi/Rabada looks formidable in T20 format. The only issue here is that all three of them are very prone to injury and I don't know whether all of them will be fit by the time of the T20 world cup. In that case, they will be forced to play sub-standard players such as Andile Phehlukwayo and Beuran Hendricks. And given that it is South Africa, I don't know whether all these players will remain in South Africa, or they will go Kolpak.
4854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 17, 2020, 02:11:33 PM
Nice to see Trent Boult back in the side after a long injury break. He is the strike bowler for New Zealand and along with Neil Wagner and Kyle Jamieson, he will be able to trouble the Indian batsmen. But that would mean that Tim Southee may not find a place in the playing XI (in case they decide to include Ajaz Patel as the spinner and Colin de Grandhomme as the all rounder).
4855  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 17, 2020, 01:54:08 PM
Before these three matches, we (or at least I) considered South Africa to be extremely weak in T20s, but they've turned around those speculations for sure!
All the matches were really close and news are coming out that Du Plessis reigned his T20 and Test captaincy and the openers played really well in the series and the rumors that AB de Villiers will be returning for the World Cup would boost their batting strength and if their main bowlers are injury free then they will have a strong team. They need to figure out the fast bowling combination as Andile Phehlukwayo, Beuran Hendricks and Dwaine Pretorius were not that effective in the concluded series.

Fast bowling is a concern, as they consistently conceded over 200 in the T20 series. Even Dale Steyn looked out of form. Ngidi looked good in the first match, but he was very expensive in the second and third matches. Andile Phehlukwayo was mediocre, and I really hope that they will replace him with someone who is more capable of bowling at the death overs.

A lot of the users are commenting that South Africa could have won the match. In my opinion, England deserved it more as they played as a team. South Africa was heavily dependent on individual performances by a few players. And in a match where the required run rate was almost 11 runs per over, the South African opener scored 31 from 29 balls and that was the main reason for their defeat.
4857  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto Taxation on: February 15, 2020, 06:51:21 AM
Goverments are always in search for money, specially free money so they use every opportunity to get to them and cryptocurrency makes no exception. It is sad the fact that even păaing taxes for crypto it is somehow considered iligal.

That's true, but it is not very easy to tax cryptocurrency. It is not a physical asset and exists only in digital form. So it is very easy for the users either to hide or manipulate the tax burden. Also, the decentralized nature of the cryptocurrency makes it vary hard to track down the users and identify them. And finally, a large part of the transactions take place outside the regulated exchanges, especially in peer-to-peer platforms.
4858  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: February 15, 2020, 06:43:58 AM
Today was holiday for me and I was desperately searching for a live cricket match. Despite having almost a dozen sports channels in India, only one of them was showing a live match (Ranji Trophy match between UP and HP). I watched the match for around 1 hour and by that time Himachal Pradesh bowled out UP and won the game. The players were mostly unknown, and the crowd attendance was very thin. I am really bothered that despite being a cricketing super-power, the domestic matches in India don't get any attention from the fans, unlike the case with county cricket in England and Sheffield Shield in Australia.
4859  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 15, 2020, 06:37:52 AM
I'm hoping that the test series between New Zealand and India is a lot closer then the T20 and ODI series as it was one sided in both series with each team winning the series easily. New Zealand now have the winning momentum and now they need to carry this on into the test series where they need to improve from the test series against Australia. Playing at home will help New Zealand but I think India will be too strong for them and will most likely win.

On paper at least, India holds a major advantage over New Zealand. India is currently the no.1 ranked test side (as per the latest ICC rankings) and they are far ahead of the no.2 side (Australia). They are ranked #2 in ODI format and #4 in the T20 format. So if we go by this, India should be more comfortable playing test matches against New Zealand, rather than playing ODI or T20.
4860  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 14, 2020, 05:40:56 PM
Moeen Ali changed the match altogether by smashing 39 runs in just 11 balls and unfortunately he got out looking to clear the ropes once again and Ben Stokes is still in the crease and now 200 is a real possibility and England need to put over 200 runs to put pressure back to South Africa and level the series and i am expecting England could level the series as they will be determined to win this match.

LOL... 15 runs from the final over bowled by Ngidi and they finish at 204/7. It is going to be a very difficult task for South Africa, and they need more than 10 runs per over in a pace-friendly track against some of the best fast bowlers in the world. For South Africa, the pacers were very expensive. Hendricks went for 45 from 3, Ngidi 48 from 4 and Phehlukwayo 47 from 4. Only Pretorius bowled tightly, conceding just 17 from his three.
