5501  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Long term hodl ! What a joke on: December 03, 2019, 04:14:13 PM
Yesterday I came across a piece of news which claimed that the total amount of BTC lying in the exchange hot wallets is at an all time high amount. Now this is not good news for those who are planning to hold their coins for long term. The chances of whales dumping huge amounts of coins in the cryptocurrency markets are increasing with every passing month.

^^^ I am not sure how they classify the pace bowlers (medium, medium fast, fast medium, fast), but I have never seen Bumrah being classified as a fast bowler. He is always shown as a medium pacer. On the other hand, Starc and Cummins are some of the bowlers who are classified as genuine fast bowlers. Also, among the Indian bowlers Umesh Yadav and Varun Aaron are being regarded as the fastest bowlers.

The cricket board usually avoids representing the country in these games and i am not sure why that is, they are not willing to send a team to the Olympics nor any meets away from the control of the ICC and hence i would like to say that they are private boards and not playing for the interest of the nation even though we call them the national team.

The BCCI believes that participating in such tournaments can give more power to the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), and this may take away some of the powers from the board. Also, they are not comfortable with the idea of mandatory drug testing. The BCCI made a decision on not to send teams to such events, after the controversial cricket tournament during the 1998 Commonwealth Games.

Unforgettable innings !!!

Very difficult to believe that this is the same guy who struggled so hard during the Ashes series. David Warner made a total of 95 runs after playing 5 tests during the Ashes 2019 series. For comparison, Steve Smith played just 4 matches, and scored a total of 774 runs (he could have made 1,000 runs if he got the opportunity to play all the five matches).

If you want to invest in two safe altcoins, which have good future potential, then go for Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Ethereum is the king of altcoins and the next altcoin bull run may take it to new heights. Also the Ether 2.0 roll out is due in a matter of few months. And talking about BCH, talks on integration of that coin with Telegram is going on. If it succeeds, then we can expect the prices to rocket upwards.

From where I live... you can hear dozens of similar stories every month. Here the people are not that educated and they get addicted with all sort of things. And it is not just gambling addiction. Some are addicted to alcohol, drugs or even tobacco. The problem occurs when they take loans to cover their debt, mostly from the loan sharks. The individuals in most cases are unable to pay the amount, and in the end the loan sharks start targeting their family members.

To become successful does not mean your life will be miserable, if you have money everything follows.

This is the hard truth in today's world. Nowadays everything revolves around money and humans are behaving like machines. Emotions and loyalty has no place in the society now and everything revolves around money. And the importance of money increases with every passing generation. Now the upcoming generation will be even more money-minded when compared to the current one.
5508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Indian Super League (ISL) Football match updates, predictions and discussions on: December 03, 2019, 02:32:28 PM
The league is getting more global support, and now if you watch a match can understand how people have been giving importance to football among the cricket dominant country. The past weeks matches followed by this week was truly awesome and each minute it increases the heartbeat if we're supporting any one of the team. The past six matches have ended in a draw, and no match ended without a goal.

A large number of overseas players are participating in the Indian Super League and therefore you can expect a lot of interest from the global audience. And that's what makes ISL different from the national league (I-league). In the I-league also you can find a lot of foreign players, but these are mostly Nigerians and other Africans, who may be unknown even in their home nations.

Has anyone came across the new bowling record from a Nepal Women's Cricket player Anjali Chand. She has taken six wickets bowling 2.1 overs without leaving any single run against the team Maldives. In men's cricket the record took place in the T20 match between India and Bangladesh last month. In that match Deepak Chahar takes six wickets leaving seven runs bowling 3.2 overs.

This time they included cricket as one of the items in the South Asian Games. India is participating in the games, but they refused to send a cricket team to either the men's or the women's competitions. This time Pakistan has also refused to send a team, while Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are sending their U23 teams. IMO, India could have sent the U23 side as well.

Exactly not much effect of rain affected the match as the end result was going to be draw beacuse NZ was batting strongly and also England whole second innings was pending . Only thing Nz got less opportunity to bat in second innings as it would have being a practice sort of thing.

England needed to win this match, as they had lost the first one. But they were not exactly scoring at a good rate and in the end the match ended in a draw. Ideally they could have applied some pressure on New Zealand bowling. And one of the main NZ strike bowlers (Trent Boult) was not playing the match. But they wasted the opportunity and lost the series.

well my investment source is my Father's bank account LOL.
In 2017 i lost around $10000 because of fake ICO'S  then i decided to simply leave crypto, but after sometime i thought scammers bloody bastards can't beat me. And from that time i do investment when i'm completely sure about project

That's unbelievable. You are saying that you wasted 10K on scam ICOs? And that too in 2017, when the success rate of the ICOs was still high. And even more surprising is the fact that you continue to invest in the ICOs. Now I am pretty sure that your father is not very pleased with this. You can't waste someone else's money like this, even if he is your family member.

But West Indians are the masters of T20. They may be missing a few big names... but the same can be said about India as well. It is an unpredictable format, and I guess both the teams have a 50/50 chance of winning the series. It is going to be tough for India.
West Indies are the masters of T20 but all of their top players are not interested to play in the team and they are busy playing for different leagues around the world and it is an unpredictable format and any player can change the course of the match in an over but i do not see the present West Indies team posing any challenge this time around and if they are able to upset India in any match then we will have an interesting series.

Once again you guys are overestimating India and underestimating the West Indies. T20 is a format in which England was defeated by teams such as Scotland and the Netherlands. And here we are talking about West Indies. India may win the series, but I expect a tough fight from their opponents. Kieron Pollard alone is enough to make life hell for the Indian bowlers.
5513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: December 02, 2019, 06:24:07 PM
More than the strength of the Australian side, the outcome of this match just confirmed the ongoing decline of the Pakistan team. They are a shadow of their former self, with the national side unable to play the matches at home and the domestic structure in shambles. A team which has produced legends like Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar and Saeed Anwar is now a laughing stock in front of the global audience.
Even in the past twenty years Pakistan never defeated Australia and this result is expected because Pakistan is touring Australia with a new team and you cannot expect any magical performance from a new team and they will get the experience they needed and the bowling unit was a failure in all sense as they were not able to pick any wickets. If they are able to find a good bowling unit then they will be able to trouble quality batsman but then their batting has to rise according to win the match.

At least earlier, they used to give tough fight to the Australians, unlike the meek surrender that we are witnessing now. The performance of Pakistan so far in this series has been nothing short of disgrace. Whatever be the reasons (inexperience, lack of funds.etc), they need to understand that as one of the original test playing nations, they need to improve their game.
5514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: December 02, 2019, 05:10:34 PM
It’s a 3 match’s series and first T20 would be played at Hyderabad . India would face a good challenge as WI is a good T20 playing side .
Anyone expecting a white wash by India as i am not expecting any challenge from West Indies as they are not having Andre Russel, Chris Gayle, Narine and co and they are playing with a relative new team with Pollard as the captain and i am sure the odds for the series will be really low, i hope team India will experiment the new players who are yet to play the match and i want Sanju Samson to play a game.

I have to disagree. If this was the test format, then I could have agreed with you. But West Indians are the masters of T20. They may be missing a few big names... but the same can be said about India as well. It is an unpredictable format, and I guess both the teams have a 50/50 chance of winning the series. It is going to be tough for India.
5515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: December 02, 2019, 05:04:05 PM
OZ won the test match again easily and by innings and 48 runs which is like the best period going on for them . Warner not out of. 300+ runs and Lyon 5 wicket haul just helping them to make the strong match for the team and thus win the match easily .

More than the strength of the Australian side, the outcome of this match just confirmed the ongoing decline of the Pakistan team.

5516  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are the scam projects killing entire crypto space? on: November 30, 2019, 06:28:36 AM
It would be impossible to quantify the extent of damage which scam projects have caused to the cryptocurrency industry. Most people see the industry to be a hub for Scammers and unscrupulous individuals. This has also increased the difficulty of mass adoption of cryptocurrency.

You can find scams in every single field. Obviously the prevalence would be higher for relatively new domains such as cryptocurrency. However, I would not be too much bothered about them. These scams can be quite damaging in the short-term, but in the long-term they bring some positive outcomes. They remind the investors to stick to the established cryptocurrencies and to be more careful about their investments.
5517  Economy / Economics / Re: Taxless society idea on: November 29, 2019, 03:32:20 PM
No. You are wrong here. A taxless society means that you will not get these services for free. You need to pay in order to qualify for these services. For example, it won't be the state or the federal government which handles the law enforcement. That job will be left to the residents' associations. They will hire private security personal for law enforcement and the members will pay a fixed amount in order to avail the services. The same with infra-structure projects such as roads and bridges. Those residents' associations which benefit from these projects will take care of the expenses, by collecting a fixed contribution from the members. And know what? IMO, this is a much better option than giving all the power to the federal government.
As you say, they will pay as a service.  If this happens, people with income can benefit from these services in the most professional way.  What about the poor, the homeless, who will protect them and provide services to them?  If what you say happens, that country is scary

You seem to have messed up with quoting

So I fixed it for you in my reply and advise you to do the same in yours lest you should be accused for plagiarizing your own comment. Regarding the poor and the homeless, the solution seems to be straightforward and kind of intuitive. It is these unlucky ones which should provide these services (some part thereof). Obviously, not the high-end services which require skill and expertise, but simple and easy ones. The problem solved

You are absolutely right. The so called "poor and homeless" can't expect the more well off citizens to take care of them for eternity. Eventually, they need to contribute to the society in some form. They can provide manpower for various infra-structure projects, such as the construction of roads, bridges, railway lines.etc, or they can contribute in the law enforcement department.

The performance from the Pakistani bowlers was nothing short of disgraceful. The partnership between David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne is just six runs short of 300, and at no point during the day any of the Pak bowlers looked as if they are going to cause any trouble for the Australian batsmen. I guess Australia will score above 600 in their first innings.
5519  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Long term hodl ! What a joke on: November 28, 2019, 03:34:15 PM
If you ask me, then I would say that long term hold is not a joke. But you need to be very very selective. Less than 1% of all the cryptocurrencies available are suitable for long-term investment. And to find out such coins, you need to do a lot of research. And you need to do this research on your own, rather than depending on the analysts and review sites.
5520  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: In 2020, How To Value An Altcoin? on: November 28, 2019, 03:27:41 PM
I have nothing to say about 2020 altcoin movement because i am not a seer but one thing looks certain though and that is bitcoin halving, actually if bitcoin can surge higher altcoins will definitely benefits
Predicting altcoin prices is indeed very difficult, especially for the next year, because to this day there are still many altcoins whose prices are down, so a strong analysis is needed to predict altcoin prices in the future.

Compared to what we had in 2017, obviously the prices are down. But the reason is that the prices went up by too much during 2017. The exchange rate for many of the coins increased by 100x or even more. What we are witnessing now is more of a correction than a drop. And once this correction phase is over, the altcoins will once again start their bull run.
