Very interesting and informative article. I must say a lot of research were done to find exchanges that operate and are trusted in those continents.

But, all those exchanges that are listed in your article require your to go through KYC which is a big issue. Therefore to avoid KYC and remain hidden it is better to buy cryptocurrencies over the counter at a local level.

There are two websites that I am aware of which operate in almost all countries and they are localbitcoin and localcrypto. In some countries you have to go through KYC to buy using localbitcoin.

Fortnite is addictive and has one of the best graphics. I did play it few time and the more y ou play the more you get addicted to it. It was hard for me to work at that time. Thankfully it is over now.

Reports is gradually getting due recognition, it will be nice if games like fortnite gets added to Olympics. I have not heard or known any website that allows betting on fortnite or games similar to it. I would be great to bet on these games.

Yes, he is known for Boom Boom but that does not mean he can be considered as an overall allrounder. He always played without any maturity and that has been one of the reasons why he is not taken seriously by the cricketing faternity.
There are no true all rounders in cricket for decades, now all the tag all rounders has a sub tag as well, bowlers who can bat a bit and batsman who can bowl a bit and if you look in that sense Shahid Afridi is an allrounder, even though he started out as a bowler he came into the Pakistan team as an explosive opening batsman and when he gets going he is a force to reckon with the bat and could win matches single handily and he was a decent fielder as well.

I still do not agree an inconsistent player who has always displayed immaturity on and off the field can be considered as a great all rounder. Pakistan has a history of brilliant and respected all rounders in the past. Comparing Afridi as a game changer, game saver and an all rounder is a disgrace to those legends.

For Pakistan team and fan, it may be the good news that PCB may reconsider their policy for people who is found Covid positive to test only once now and if it comes as negative then they could be part of team. Previous it was like test would be done twice and only if both results show as negative then only, they will be part of team.

PCB is completely confused and does not have a clue what it needed to do. It is good to know that they are now clear about what they will be doing in the future. If done correctly then one test is sufficient to determine a person is Covid19 positive or negative.
Right now PCB is one of worst management in sports because most of officials are on political basis or personal like or dislike so no one can give any update what is coming next and how they are going to manage this all few days back we have 10 players positive for Corona and now few feeling reports are not right so currently all bad is coming for them.

Seriously 10 players from Pakistan cricket team are covid-19 +ive ? Shocked  That's alarming high number. Do you know the cause as how the whole team can get affected by covid19 ?

In such scenario, T20 world cup and other tournaments are hard to resume because if players are affected by covid19 without playing cricket, what will happen if they start to play ?


PCB is not doing its bit in keeping players safe, players should also understand that covid19 is not a normal flu. It is a deadly virus and they should follow the standard SOP. I am not sure what exactly these 10 players were thinking? Were they not following social distancing?
Until ICC takes a decision and PCB declares that they do not have replacement for these players I do no think there will be any issue with international tournaments.

T10 is not the real game of cricket because you hardy can do in that number of overs and also not every player will get a chance to show their skills too. T20 is something which is more or less the perfect shorter game and anything shorter would not be real entertaining as well. Also consider that crowd which comes to watch from various cities in the stadium in traffic may take much longer to and for distance than just to watch T10 match in stadium. So this would not be the real incentive for them too.

The shorter the game the more excitement it will generate. People were saying the same when about T20 when it was introduced and now everyone prefers watching T20 than any other form of cricket. In my opinion it will be great for us to see International players playing this T10 in a ICC tournament.

I think the "Bitcoin roller-coaster" and some of its variants has stuck on my mind for quite a while, Lol. Specially during the ride to $10k and up in the last couple of months. Second on my list in the "magic internet money',  and then the "Morpheus/Neo". But I think this community has it's fair share of bitcoin meme in the past as well.

In my opinion, the one which about bitcoin haters like Peter Schiff is hilarious, "Okay Boomer". This meme does leave a message which means ignore them and you will ride smoothly.

This is a piece of really bad news for Tennis, I hope no one else should test positive of this dreadful virus. I hope he recovers fast. I did read a few players from the cricket community who have also been tested positive of this virus.

India vs Pakistan
True, If there is no political quackery then arguably comes at top 3 biggest rivalry in all sports, way bigger than The Ashes. There is a reason more than a billion people stop working voluntary when India and Pakistan playing against each other.

This is the biggest riverly atleast in cricket hitsory India vs Pakistan as both countries literally come to stand still. I do remember that whenever India vs Pakistan meets in any of the world cups tournament the country sees very less crowds on roads or in offices. Everyone is busy watching this match. Also people who are not much intro cricket or take least interest also do not miss out watching this major match between both the countries and excitement is all together at different levels. Many organizations specially to this match put the big screen their offices so that they come to work and also can enjoy match too.


The rivalry is well known by everyone who loves cricket and that is why everyone is waiting for the T20 World cup because everyone feels that this tournament will be the one where these two teams might face each other and we all can enjoy that match. Until 2021 we have to wait for it.

~snip~

It has been quality of the Pakistani players that they always come up with the talent. They don't develop talent in the schools or domestic cricket but most of them are god gifted. You will not find players like Sohaib Akhtar , Shaid Afridi as those players had god gifted talent which made them super heroes of the cricketing world.

I understand he's pretty big role model in Pakistan due to his Boom-Boom batting style but make no mistake, in the cricketing world and among cricket fraternity he's regarded as one of the worst batter who wasted his talent/2 decades due to very same immature batting style "Boom Boom" despite playing for so long... Frickin 398 ODI.

I understand that he is not a consistent batsmen but he had few things which make him last for 2 decades in national cricket team. His "Boom Boom" style has become a brand and he was not only a batsmen. He won many match for Pakistan by his bowling. He could be used as a full time spinner. He was an all-rounder and one of the best and active fielder in the team.

Yes, he is known for Boom Boom but that does not mean he can be considered as an overall allrounder. He always played without any maturity and that has been one of the reasons why he is not taken seriously by the cricketing faternity.

In my opinion, it is we who need to blame ourselves and why not because we took that decision to gamble and no one else was responsible for it. It is only the greed within ourselves that has to be blamed. I am not sure why you are saying that we should not blame ourselves?
5432  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum's biggest contender? on: June 25, 2020, 09:35:28 PM
ethereum biggest contender is binance coin.. bnb has a big potential as well as those in the top 10 list.. but the thing about this ethereum even though there are a lot of coins out there it seems that eth is so popular..

I doubt it.

BNB is only an exchange based coin but Ethereum is not. Binance has tried everything to drag Ethereum down but has always failed miserably.

I still feel NEO can be a potential Ethereum killer, it is a Chinese backed project and is known as Chinese Ethereum but the development has not been up to track.
5433  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why people are happy only when the price goes up? on: June 25, 2020, 09:29:01 PM
It is simple if I am HODLing Bitcoin then I would always want it to go up. On the other end if I am looking to accumulate Bitcoin then I would first check the price and if it is less or nearby to my earlier price entry then I will go ahead and buy more Bitcoin. At the moment since Bitcoin is still below 10k it is the right time to buy more.

My first Bitcoin was through Investment and after that through Signature campaigns. Now every week I am getting paid in Bitcoin. The amount is not bad considering the present USD value of Bitcoin. But, who wants to sell it as my goal is to earn Bitcoin and HODL it till it reaches the moon.
5435  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: USDT (erc20) to USD on: June 25, 2020, 02:01:15 PM
The only exchange where you will find USDT/USD pair is Bitfinex. That is the only exchange I know. Payment processor Payoneer converts Bitcoin to USD but the charges are on the higher side.

I would recommend a local exchange where generally USD is paired with the local currency. For example, in my country India, WazirX exchange has USDT/INR pair. Which basically becomes easy if clients pays in USDT to me.

It is better to always accept Bitcoin because it is very easy to convert it into Fiat.
5436  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Beware: FORSAGE another scheme (Ponzi) on: June 25, 2020, 01:42:52 PM
Thanks for the heads up.

The problem with newbies is that they want to earn but earn everything quickly. Which is practically impossible in this world unless you get some kind of inheritance.

Pyramid based schemes always look great on paper, but the truth is that they are Ponzi schemes and such schemes should be always be avoided because you will not only destroy your investment but also others.

Keep away from giveaways and pyramid schemes they are meant only to scam you.

From my perspective it's obvious that in next ten (10) years bitcoin will be centralised and it can be use for exchange of product's in all ramifications and it will dominate any other currencies across the world.

Here comes the list of things bitcoin can purchase in next ten years without physical cash and it's called bitcoin vision 2030.

* Housing estate's

*companies

*car industry and private use

*importation of goods and service from different countries

* payment of worker's with bitcoin

* And also use for payment of shopping.

I believed strongly that this vision bitcoin 2030 shall come in reality.
What is your suggestion.

Why and How will Bitcoin centralize? cause if it becomes centralized then there will be no difference between Fiat currency and Bitcoin. I do not agree with you on this part.

Indeed many vendors and retail companies are now accepting Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies. I am sure within few years you will be purchase  almost all products using Bitcoin.

If you want to host a WordPress website for free then you can use Amazon cloud and Google cloud hosting service for free but only for one year. You do need to buy a domain name using Bitcoin which you can get it using Namecheap.

To know how to install and host Wordpress on any of the following cloud hosting services then do a search on Youtube and you will get tons of tutorials.
5439  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Chrome extensions with 33 million downloads slurped sensitive user data on: June 24, 2020, 06:33:58 PM
Another reason why we shouldn't trust Google and Google’s Chrome Web Store.

We all know how 'poor' their services are, specially in the last couple of months wherein we saw tons of fake crypto related apps in web store. But this report should put Google in the limelight again as obviously, their services have been taken advantage of cyber criminals, regardless if it is state sponsored or just hacking groups milking crypto enthusiast.


Quote

Spying campaign tied to 15,000 malicious or suspicious domains uploaded data.

Browser extensions downloaded almost 33 million times from Google’s Chrome Web Store covertly downloaded highly sensitive user information, a security firm said on Thursday in a report that underscores lax security measures that continue to put Internet users at risk.

The extensions, which Google removed only after being privately notified of them, actively siphoned data such as screenshots, contents in device clipboards, browser cookies used to log in to websites, and keystrokes such as passwords, researchers from security firm Awake told me. Many of the extensions were modular, meaning once installed, they updated themselves with executable files, which in many cases were specific to the operating system they ran on. Awake provided additional details in this report.

Company researchers found that all 111 of the extensions it identified as malicious connected to Internet domains registered through Israel-based GalComm. The researchers eventually found more than 15,000 registered through GalComm hosting malicious or suspicious behavior. The malicious domains used a variety of evasion techniques to avoid being labeled as malicious by security products.

I think we should avoid Google chrome itself after the recent Google Chrome privacy goof up. You cannot believe Google at all but most of us use it because of it is easy to access all your data regardless of device. I have recently started using Brave and the new Microsoft edge, these two browsers are far better than Chrome.

In my opinion, almost 80 percent of all altcoin are shit coins. I would never recommend anyone to think about altcoins other than the top 50 listed on CMC. I am sure most of the members will agree to it. There are few altcoins that are listed above the top 100 list but you need to analyze those coins properly before investing in them.
