^^ Why not?

His economy rate is under 6 so i would say he was good enough to bowl at-least 2 overs. there are always chances that he gets the beating but when every bowler in team leaking runs then there is no harm to try part-timer, that's the real reason of keeping 6th bowling option in playing XI for starter.

Well.. there is nothing wrong in trying either him or some of the other part time bowlers for a couple of overs. But Kohli probably didn't wanted to take the risk. It was a very close match and a big over (in case the Kiwis can score 20 runs from it) can change the course of the match. Anyway, we don't know what could have happened if Kedar was given an opportunity to bowl.

Bitcoin had a huge impact on me, ever since I started investing in them (January 2017). In my very first year, I got almost 22x returns. I could have got even better returns with altcoins, but I stayed loyal to BTC. Apart from the financial gain, dealing in Bitcoin helped me to improve my skills in finance and trading domains. It has been 3 years now, and I am thankful to Bitcoin for all the monetary gains.

There is no doubt that $200 is a big achievement for Ethereum. But we need to remember that the ATH was somewhere around $1,500 per coin and the current rates are just a fraction of what we had back in 2018. Ethereum had its bubble and it burst during the Dec 2018-Jan 2019 period. Now I don't think that we'll ever witness those levels again.

why not?  btc hit 20k with way crappier tech in comparison to etherium.

Don't underestimate the altcoin markets. You'll end up selling way too early like most crypto newbs of 2017.

You are still not getting it. What is the point in having a much better technology, if it is not being used? Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency and the technology is quite robust. The advantage with Ethereum is that it can be used for purposes such as the creation of smart contracts. But for making payments, Bitcoin and Ethereum are at the same level and ETH doesn't have any advantages over Bitcoin.

Well its hard to be a bowler when everything going against them. just look at bowling card of both teams and see who bowled good in the last game?
695 runs scored in just 98.1 overs and only 10 wickets went down that day, so its not a fault of any single bowler. We should cut them some slack for one game, it happens sometimes. Give Kiwis batsmen credit for chase down mammoth target and move on to next game.

Only difference is Kiwis used 6th bowling option and Indians didn't. They had Kedar Jadhav as part-timer bowler but Virat didn't use him.

Do you really think that Kedar Jadhav could have made any difference? I have watched him bowling and my opinion is that he doesn't have any variations with him. In a match where Kuldeep Yadav went for almost 9 runs per over, this guy could have got smashed all around the park. And additionally, he hasn't bowled much during the past two-three years in international cricket.

4946  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum very volatile on: February 07, 2020, 06:16:52 AM
Ethereum is a good coin but very difficult to predict its movement and that explain the volatility. Now is over 200$ , we can only hope that we do not experience a draw back.

There was no new regarding development or the timelines for ETH 2.0. So we can assume that this rise was purely due to speculation. And as we have seen over the years, such spikes don't last long. Unless the developers come with something solid, the prices will continue to decline. I won't be even surprised, if ETH loses the no.2 slot in a few years from now.
4947  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if Ethereum replaces Bitcoin someday? on: February 07, 2020, 05:50:10 AM
What if ............... someday?


LOL... this summarizes it. I have no doubt that Ethereum is a ground breaking innovation (at least when compared to the other shitcoins out there, such as DOGE and Litecoin). But most of the innovations that Ethereum brought to the market are not in use right now. The smart contract option showed a lot of promise, but the real life usage has remained at low levels.
4948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: February 07, 2020, 05:15:14 AM
Or they are afraid to lose from Pakistan  ?

This is not a valid argument, because India has beaten Pakistan in all the recent matches between the two sides (including the one between the two teams during the 2019 Cricket World Cup). Also, a few days back India had decisively defeated Pakistan during the 2020 Under-19 World Cup. The current Indian team is among the world's best and I don't think that they are afraid of facing Pakistan. So the refusal to tour Pakistan has purely to do with politics.

Sometimes we can't win a game even after we played our better because opponents might played exceptionally well that is just normal in cricket.Now India have to tighten up their bowling line up the pitch will not be safe for 50 overs as which happen in 20 over format so there is bit more work for the selectors to find right combination for long format again.Tomorrow 2nd ODI will be played hope there will be some revenge from team India.

You can expect even a team such as Afghanistan or Bangladesh to defend a total of close to 350. The fact that Indians were unable to do so, even with the presence of Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah means that they need to rework on their bowling strategies. Bowlers such as Shardul Thakur and Kuldeep Yadav went for more than 8 runs per over during the last match.
4950  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Nothing is wrong with altcoins on: February 06, 2020, 06:00:13 PM
In recent days, the situation on the cryptocurrency market has changed slightly in favor of altcoins. For example, since the beginning of 2020, BTC has grown by 34% and ETH by 63%. As for LTC and EOS, they are even higher - by 78%. This gives a bit of optimism, now many will turn to altcoins face and more closely begin to study new and existing projects.

It is too early to compare the trends, because we had just one month in to 2020 so far. It is true that Ether had a slight jump so far, but we also need to remember that the Ethereum exchange rates (versus Bitcoin) was going down for most part of Q3 and Q4 2019. I would rather say that the altcoin prices are moving towards stabilization after an extended bearish phase.
4951  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coins do you Hold ? on: February 06, 2020, 04:34:48 PM
Some of your coins are really good, especially IOTA and NEO. These are third generation cryptocurrencies and the technology behind them is much more advanced when compared to the other altcoins such as Ethereum and Ripple. These coins have gone down in value recently, but my advice is to hold on to them. I would say that their future potential is very good. The only thing is that you should hold them for at least 1-2 years.

Surely New Zealand had the benefit of batting second and New Zealand fields are really smaller compared to that in India so it were a batsmen dominated match. Though we can't say that was the only reason for the Indian team to lose, that was one of the reasons. New Zealand is one of the most stable ODI team at current time, just below India in current ratings.

You are ignoring several factors here. New Zealand was without their best players. They were without their best batsman (Kane Williamson) and their best bowlers (Trent Boult, Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson). Some of their batsmen were out of form (such as Ross Taylor, who regained his form in the first ODI). New Zealand played as a team to win the match, despite several setbacks.
New Zealand is historical a fighting team they have too many ups and downs but their fighting ability is never been end they fight till end now recently they are on top after some long time as Pakistan thrash them two time in World Cup 92 after this now they are again very good side to watch but injury problems and players personal issues also give them some serious set backs.

I haven't noticed any superhuman performance from the New Zealand team in the recent years. They have performed above average, and I will admit that. At the same time, other teams outside the big 3, such as South Africa, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh have been unable to stop the decline in their respective performances. So in a relative sense, New Zealand can be termed as a rising cricket force.

A part of their recent success should be attributed to the presence of several South Africa born players, including BJ Watling, Neil Wagner, Colin Munro and Colin de Grandhomme. In addition to these players, Ross Taylor is part-Samoan and Ish Sodhi was born in India. And these additions have neutralized the loss of Ben Stokes to England.

This is surely matter to noted as they are going in every league they have no International commitments as they need so franchies are taking advantage of this as players also taking some good amount which is really good for them financialy but bad for them as they exposed many batsmen will watch videos and take good advantage.

In international cricket, the spinners are not lasting much now. Even in India, spinners such as Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal are not performing well against the good teams. This is the problem in having a lot of technological advance in cricket. Super-slow motion footage is available, which allows the batsmen to study the bowling action of various spinners and thereby identify their variations.
4954  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Lomachenko vs. Teofimo Lopez Lightweight Unification fight on: February 06, 2020, 03:17:25 PM
I haven't made a bet on any of the boxing matches during the last few months, but I will be making one for this match. The only issue is that the odds for Vasiliy Lomachenko are not looking that attractive. I could find 1/4 from William Hill, Paddy Power and Betfair. Teofimo Lopez is going at 11/4. I need to chose one of these two odds and I am 90% certain that I'll go with Loma (1/4).
4955  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: My wish for bounty projects that seem impossible on: February 06, 2020, 03:11:39 PM
This is just a wish, I hoped for it and asked around but yet it seem impossible, the best thing in ever wished for on this forum is bounty projects should start paying in bitcoin or stable coins to bounty hunters, doing this will avoid dumping their tokens buh .... I guess its not going to work since most new projects have no money to do so. they are better off paying hunters in their very own token, damn!

This was one of the proposals put forward by many senior members a few years ago. The bounties would be much more attractive, if 10% or 20% of the payout is made in either Bitcoin or Ethereum. But the proposal was rejected saying that it will have a negative impact on the financial health of the project. Anyway, bounties are getting obsolete nowadays and only the most inexperienced members are joining them.
4956  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoiners now is your chance on: February 06, 2020, 02:51:34 PM
I am not too sure about it... The focus is going to be on Bitcoin for the next few months. Because there is a lot of anticipation and hype in the market surrounding the upcoming block reward halving. So at least for the next 5-6 months, the altcoins may stay under the radar. Any spikes affecting the altcoins in the mean time are going to be temporary in nature.
4957  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: be careful with projects that offer you great prizes, that is not a guarantee of on: February 06, 2020, 02:45:37 PM
Ponzi and pyramid schemes have existed for many centuries and even now people fall prey to such scams. In cryptocurrency, the impact is much more amplified because of the decentralized nature of the market and due to the lack of regulations. Most of the time, the new and inexperienced users don't have any idea about the risk associated with the project in which they are investing in.

After Bitcoin and Blockchain came to existence in 2009, the next big thing that happened in the world of cryptocurrency was the invention of the smart contracts in 2014 (there was a lot of hype, but it didn't really got going in a big way). And after that, I don't think that we had any ground breaking technology or innovation in the cryptocurrency market.
4960  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Advice to newbies who wants to mine coins for start on: February 06, 2020, 02:24:49 PM
Here is my own advice and experience for all miners on here, many CPU minable coins are rubbish projects, they are build for pump and dump purposes, when I entered this space I was so obsessed with CPU mining and I mined over 25 different type of coins from turtle coin to havven protocol, mostly cryptonote algorithms and many are dead or abandoned today, mine only popular coins and forget new coins or regrets later

Do you really think that you can mine popular PoW coins with just a CPU? CPU mining is obsolete since 2013. You can try it, but in the end you may get $0.000001 worth of coins and your laptop will get burnt. Just think for two seconds whether you want to take this risk. Want to try mining? Just purchase a second hand mining rig. It is not going to cost much.
