I would disagree when you say that India is the only feasible market for franchise league.

The BBL of Australia and the Vitality Blast of England is doing pretty well, without much help from India. But that said, India remains the largest market and it will be impossible for any of the other franchise T20 leagues to overtake the Indian Premier League (IPL) in terms of popularity or revenues. My advice to the other leagues is not to compare themselves with the IPL.

My choice would be like this:

Virat Kohli > Rohit Sharma > Sreyas Iyer

Rishabh Pant is too inexperienced to be considered for any future captaincy role. Also, from his behavior, it doesn't look like he can handle pressure situations. Virat is aggressive, but he doesn't lose his composure when he gets angry or irritated. The same can't be said about some of the other members in the present playing XI.

The original purpose of Bitcoin was to act as a payment method. But nowadays, very few of the users are using it for that purpose. There are multiple reasons for that. First of all, the transaction fee is very volatile and there were times when the users had to pay as much as $2 or $3 for a single transaction. And secondly, the prices have risen steeply, when compared to the levels we had back in 2012 and 2013.

My personal opinion is that you should limit investment in high-risk assets such as Bitcoin to somewhere between 10% and 20% of your portfolio. Diversifying is always a welcome step.. but as we have seen during the past few years, cryptocurrency remains extremely volatile when compared to the other assets such as stocks and bullion. You should invest, only in case you can afford to hold the coins for at least 3 to 5 years.

Airdrops and Bounties are no longer offering good rewards, due to the scarcity of good projects and oversupply of users. You can still participate in good bounties, but there is no guarantee about the payments. Freelancing remains one of the best options right now, but unless you have a good knowledge of coding or programming, your rewards are going to be minuscule.

Users need to ask themselves why the market share of altcoin is going down, when compared to that of Bitcoin. Everyone likes to believe that the ongoing decline is a temporary trend, and the prices will rise again at some point of time in the future. But we need to ask ourselves whether this will happen or not. My opinion is that the vast majority of the alts don't have any real life usage, and therefore they don't deserve any sort of valuation at all. 

That's true. There is an informal agreement between the BCCI and the ICC that no major global tournament will be scheduled during the IPL duration. The national boards are also reluctant to conduct their tournaments or bilateral tours during this time, because they know that the star players would definitely prefer their IPL franchise over the national team.

Hmm.. even with the smaller projects, there is no guarantee that the bounty will be paid on time. I am someone who has participated in dozens of bounty campaigns in the past. From what I have seen, when the ICO market is in a healthy state, most of the bounties (irrespective of their size) would be paying the rewards honestly. But when the conditions are not good, the bounty hunters are left high and dry.

I think a lot of the New Zealanders are angry that Stokes dumped their country and went to play for England. But you can't really blame him. Stokes migrated to England when he was a kid. You can't compare this to someone like Eoin Morgan (who first represented Ireland, and then switched to England). But to be fair to Stokes, he has always stated that he is proud of his Kiwi heritage. You won't hear that from those Kolpak players.

IMO, only those altcoins which are fundamentally different and technologically superior to Bitcoin are going to survive. Coins such as LTC and DOGE, which are just like copycats of Bitcoin are going to die out in the near future. On the other hand, I expect altcoins such as Monero, Cardano, EOS, Stellar Lumens and NEO to not just survive, but thrive in the future.

Cricket remains one of the minor sports in Ireland. However the world cup match, in which Ireland managed to defeat England was widely covered by the media and all the major news papers carried the news in the first page. But after that, the media coverage as well as popularity of the sport declined. And the ICC's policy of concentrating on the big 3 nations didn't helped the matters. The popularity of cricket is on the decline not just in Ireland, but in almost all the countries apart from the big 3. 

Well... Rishabh Pant is a very bizarre choice... First of all, he has yet to cement his place in the Indian team. And secondly, I can't remember Pant captaining any team in the IPL or the Ranji Trophy. Well.. he is young and he may be a future prospect. But first he needs to prove that he can captain domestic sides and handle the pressure properly. For now, my first preference would be Sreyas Iyer.

Trading is not for everyone and you need to put a lot of effort and time, in order to be successful in cryptocurrency trading. On top of that, there are additional risk factors such as exchange hacks and tax complexities. Among my friend circle, less than 10% of all those who have tried their luck with trading ended up in profit. The remainder lost most of their capital amount.

The problem here is that every other board is trying to copy the IPL. But they fail to understand that they don't have such large market at home. For example, the Sri Lankan Cricket Board had launched a similar league a few years back. It folded after just one year, resulting in huge losses to the board. The Msanzi Super League (MSL) of South Africa is also in deep loss. Only a few such as the BBL and CPL are in profit.

He has millions following his social media channels. Even if 1% of that number believes him, it is a huge amount. John McAfee was an industry giant, until a few years back. He built quite a reputation for himself. But now he is making a living out of his past reputation. And I don't think that this is going to continue for ever. At some point, there is going to be a backlash.

I don't think that there will be anything big in the world of cryptocurrency, in the near future. Bitcoin has been in existence for more than 11 years now. Till now, none of the new coins have managed to topple Bitcoin as the most popular cryptocurrency. Many of the new coins are technologically superior to Bitcoin. Bit the users are sticking to the original cryptocurrency.

Everyone is supposed to take care of their online accounts and funds. And in more than 99% of the cases, wallet hacks and robberies occur as a result of carelessness from the victim. But that said, the hackers must be punished severely. No one is supposed to steal money from someone else. Also, no one is permitted to intrude into someone else's personal space.

ETH makes up close to 40% of his portfolio and perhaps that is the reason why he is trying to reduce the proportion. I am against investing in lesser known altcoins such as TTN, but I don't know much about that particular coin. The OP may be having some inside information and might have decided to invest based on that. On my part, I would recommend BCH (as I posted earlier) or ask him to increase the proportion of Bitcoin.

Nope. It is not happening in the other sports. Let me explain.

ICC changed the rules almost two decades ago, to allow non-citizens to play for a country. Earlier, there was a limit for such players (3 players in the playing XI, if I am not wrong). This has enabled teams such as UAE and Oman fielding playing XI in which not a single citizen is present.

Jofra Archer is a citizen of Barbados and Eoin Morgan is a citizen of the Republic of Ireland. Both these players don't have British passports. Sports bodies such as FIFA and FIVB allow players to represent a country only if they hold the citizenship of that particular country. The rules for FIBA is even stricter. They allow only one naturalized player in the squad, even if they have the citizenship.

New ideas are always welcome in the cryptocurrency market. But at the same time, many of the existing cryptocurrencies can be replaced with technologically superior alternatives. There are many domains, for which suitable coins are not available. For example, TRX was designed for sharing of digital content, but it is not being used for this purpose. So if a new cryptocurrency comes in to existence and proves that it is a better alternative, then it may be possible for it to replace TRX.
