Having a very good idea is not the guarantee to get investors interested. They look for a lot many factors, including the prevailing market sentiments, viability of the project, legal aspects, long-term survival, potential competition, rate of return and team composition. Only if you could satisfy all these parameters, investors will be willing to consider your project.

I don't know much about the real estate market in your country. But here it is like an inflated bubble, which can burst at anytime. The sale of new apartments is at an all-time low, and despite this the builders are not ready to lower their prices. A large number of projects are stuck right now and those who have invested in them have been left in limbo.

Bangladesh 49/4. Could have been 49/5 if Rohit didn't drop the catch. I don't expect BAN to drag the game to Day 4, expecting the result today  Grin

I would consider it to be a big achievement for the Bangladesh team, if they could manage 100 runs in the second innings. They have crawled slowly to 60/4, but I don't think that they will be able to survive beyond the second session today. The Bangladesh fans may be feeling the absence of Shakib al Hassan and Tamim Iqbal right now.

As we all know that accounts with red trusts are those who break the rules on this forum either by plagiarism or scamming habits or even more and newbies are been warned not to engage in any type of deals with them but on bounty part its different, good bounty projects can still be introduced by users with red trust account and this doesn't mean the projects are bad, for example sessia bounty project

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5118659.0

Which actually was a profitable and a successful bounty of this year, new bounty hunters should not be too worried about this, just do your own research on any bounty project

Nope. Can't agree with you.

And you need to remember that spamming and plagiarism can't get you a red trust here. Spamming can get you a temporary ban and if you indulge in plagiarism, then you may be permanently booted out of this forum. Red trust is reserved for those users who indulge in scams, fraud and cheating. And that's why they should not be promoting the ICOs, because trust matters a lot in the ICO market.
5645  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reality of tokens on: November 16, 2019, 05:24:05 AM
So regarding the fact that what it takes to create a token for example an ERC 20, i ahve found a gig on Fiverr.
Check the link.
https://www.fiverr.com/wedowo/create-your-ico-website-and-erc20-token?context_referrer=search_gigs&source=top-bar&ref_ctx_id=34a69322-cdbf-40a4-98e6-b9f51a1be52f&pckg_id=1&pos=3&context_type=auto&funnel=657f18cb-30b9-4ede-a7f7-139b402768ed

Seller is creating an ICO website as well as the token for just 50$. So your basic invetsment is 50$, Now you just need to do marketing by just making a telegram group and launching a scam bounty scheme and give members greed to give 10% commissions. And you are ready to scam people.
People choose these scammers to scam them and thats all. Not saying that all of the tokens are of this type but most of them are of indeed.

The irony is that even now we have people who are ready to invest in these scam ICOs. The number of ICOs listing every month has fallen by 90% to 95% when compared to the levels we had in 2018. But even now, the majority of the ICOs look scams to me. First of all, it is the careless investors who are feeding these scammers by continuing to invest.
5646  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: short term or long term investing on: November 16, 2019, 05:18:53 AM
Buying for the long term is much easier, and less likely to cause you to do stupid things in a panic. but it still requires you to understand the Crypto and it's prospects. I plan on holding at least 2-5 years and seeing where I'm at from there. If I've reached my goal by then, I will withdraw 50% and leave the remaining in there.

I would say that long term (like you said, two to five years) may be suitable with established coins such as Bitcoin and Litecoin. But I am not sure about going for the long-term strategy with the tokens. With these emerging projects, you need to review your strategy every couple of months. I am saying this because long-term didn't worked well for me with the smaller coins and tokens.
5647  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is worth to invest in dogecoin? on: November 16, 2019, 05:12:34 AM
oh I just found out about that can dogecoin reach $0.5 in the coming years? It seems like it should be able to be supported by some big people but in fact I have invested quite a long time and will probably only sell at value when the bitcoin bullrun has been seen

You can't predict the future exchange rates for Dogecoin with a certain amount of accuracy, because unlike the other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Litecoin, this particular coin does not use the controlled supply principle. There is no limit for the number of coins that you can mine and the output will depend on the mining hash power.
5648  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Happy Birthday ETH on: November 16, 2019, 05:06:27 AM
It is 30 july 2015 when ETH initially was released. Everyone here might have noticed the amazing work done by ETH team. It is all there efforts that ETH stands the second coin in Crypto coin List.

Ethereum was the first major ICO to be listed. The soft-cap was set at $18,600,000 and the tokens were priced at approximately $0.31 each. A total of 60,000,000 tokens were being offered and ironically the demand was quite subdued during the initial days. Those who invested back then got 5000x profits when the exchange rates peaked at $1,400 per coin on January 2018.
5649  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Extra weeks added to bounty campaign on: November 15, 2019, 06:40:40 PM
From my experience i can say that bounty is prolonged by the not very strong projects, because they cant reach their fundraising goal. That happens not often, but if that happens projects with good reputation increase their bounty pools, but when not - it looks plain.

Normally the bounty projects run along with the ICO. When the ICO gets extended, the bounty project also gets extended. Ideally, when an ICO struggles to reach the soft-cap, the promoters should either reduce the cap or suspend the project rather than extending the timeline. Extending the dates will only result in the investors losing their confidence in the project.

Well... it is not very surprising... people are ready to learn new things whey they are in their teens and 20s. But after that, the eagerness to learn decreases. I am saying this from my own experience. And once you are in to the 30s, then it takes much more effort to learn something, as the brain gets slower and our capabilities start declining.

This moral policing by PayPal needs to stop. Pornhub is not doing anything illegal. They are operating a perfectly legal business, and they are paying taxes to the government without any delay. Here in India also there is a lot of moral policing. The government has blocked all the porn sites (such as Pornhub and Xvideos) and the guys are now using VPN to access these sites.
5652  Economy / Economics / Re: Can not believe 5 years ago you could of bought one whole bitcoin for this much! on: November 15, 2019, 05:51:11 PM
I don't think that there is any use in talking about the past. Those who invested back then (during 2011-12), saw their investment go up by more than 1000x. For the rest of the users (including me), we need to wait patiently for the next bull run, which may give 10x or 20x profits for us. But we are not that unlucky. Even now only around 1% of the world population uses BTC. It can still go up by a lot.
5653  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: November 15, 2019, 05:45:47 PM
I cannot call it the evolution of the game but it is good to see so many variation of the match and i think only in cricket you can find this much variation, Test matches, 4 day games, ODI, T20 and now T10 and none of the other sporting events have this kind of formats in a sport, the only thing missing here is mixed matches were ladies can play alongside men like we have in tennis mixed doubles Cheesy.

Nope. Mixed gender matches are not possible with cricket. If you want that, then there should be a rule that only women players would bowl against the women batsmen. Else they will get blown away by the raw pace of the male bowlers. Also, most of the women pacers have an average speed of around 110 kmph. That is almost the speed at which some of the male spinners bowl.
5654  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: November 15, 2019, 05:06:37 PM
And this 343 lead is enough to have this winning margin. I know Kohli knows the best but if I were to lead the team then I would ask the Bangladesh team to bat from the morning. Early morning the bowlers will have very good advantage and this should be enough to damage the Bangladeshi top order.

Whether Kohli declares the innings or not, the match will be probably over by the end of the day tomorrow. The outcome is already known to everyone. India is going to win by an innings and 100 plus runs (as you had posted earlier). I found the match boring and watched only a few overs today. Matches such as this one are the reason why people are losing interest in test cricket.
5655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: November 15, 2019, 04:54:57 PM
Nowadays cricket clubs mostly prefer the shorter version of the game, due to lack of time. However, Afghanistan do have a 4-day domestic tournament in which all the five regions take part. The domestic cricket is rapidly expanding there, thanks to the increased funding from the ICC (as per the latest revenue model, ACB will receive $5 million per year during 2017-23).
The shorter version of the game will not help in developing proper batsman for the longer version of the game and in the future we will not see legit batsman who are capable of batting for a longer period of time and even if the ICC promote these longer version it will not last longer if all the cricket boards emphasis on T20 as it is a cash cow and now we have T10, its funny how things changes rapidly in a short period.

Obviously if you want to observe proper batting and bowling techniques, then you should watch test cricket. The strategy with T20 is monotonous. The batsmen try to smash as many runs as possible and they don't care much about building the innings or even to take singles and twos. But if that is what the fans want, then the ICC should listen to them.
5656  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Abu Dhabi T10 League 2019 on: November 15, 2019, 04:48:44 PM
As expected Eoin Morgan smashed everyone around the ground and they just need 5 runs to win from the last over, i doubt they can loose from this position as they have plenty of wickets left and except for Zahir Khan who took three wickets everyone went for runs.
First ball was a dot ball but then Mathews smashed the next ball for a boundary and the match is almost over.
Need to find a legit streaming source to watch the match if anyone can guide me that would be helpful.

Well.... I thought that they were going to lose. After 5 overs, they were around 35 and the required run rate had climbed to 14 runs per over. However the over bowled by Mason crane changed everything, as he conceded 19 runs. Deccan Gladiators lacked someone like Ravi Rampaul in their bowling attack, who could bowl a few dot balls and bring down the run rate.
5657  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: November 15, 2019, 04:23:10 PM
India has a lead of 343 runs already and today is just 2nd day of play . I think they would take a lead of around 400 and will declare their innings and Bangladesh might lose this game by inning and some runs it seems now as India has posted big lead already .

You need to remember that India has lost six wickets as well. They would like to get to a lead of 400 or even 450. But it needs to be seen for how long Umesh Yadav will be able to give company to Ravindra Jadeja. Once either of these two gets out, it is going to be tough. Ashiwn can bat a bit, but both Ishant Sharma and Mohammad Shami are real tailenders.
5658  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Abu Dhabi T10 League 2019 on: November 15, 2019, 04:00:57 PM
Somehow Deccan Gladiators have managed to score 102 with the scoring of 57 runs by Watson and Devcich. Probably this match will be quite interesting as Delhi Bulls have got batting line up till the last order. With Deccan Gladiators there is good bowling, and in most of the matches if Watson performs good in batting he does the same in bowling. Let's wait and see who's gonna change the match.

I am afraid that 102 is not enough in this format. Anything less than 120 is going to be vulnerable. I felt that both Shane Watson and Anton Devcich were a bit too cautious. They should have gone harder at the Delhi Bulls bowlers as they still had 9 wickets in hand. Both of them struggled against medium pace of Ravi Rampaul (9 runs conceded in 12 balls).

Afghanistan is one among the team that in recent years have shown good progress in their game. In several matches Afghanistan reaches close to winning and ends up losing. This in my view is mostly due to the lack of experienced players who can guide them with good suggestions. Looking upon their play on franchise crickets they play good, and this is based on the perfect guidance got from senior people from other countries. If I'm not wrong they're emerging slowly as a strong competent.

There is no doubt that the Afghanistan players are very talented. But they are losing a lot of the matches that they should be winning. They don't have the capability to win close matches. Even in many matches where they had the advantage, they ended up on the losing side. Either they allowed the pressure on the opposition to wean away, or they underwent sudden collapse.
5660  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: November 15, 2019, 03:47:44 PM
No wonder they have some good players in the T20 format and they are able to beat some teams in the past and i hope the T20 would be more competitive than the ODI but West Indies also have a good team, waiting for their T20 series.
T20 starts tomorrow and West Indies have a set back as one of the players Pooran is banned for four T20Is for ball tampering in the last match. Afghanistan has much better team for T20 and i expect it to be more competitive than the ODI, Steve Smith and Warned was banned for ball tampering for a year if i am not mistaken and why such a lenient suspension for Pooran ?.

Ideally, the ICC should be having same set of rules for all the players from all the teams. He tampered the ball, and should have been handed over a minimum of one year suspension. On the other hand, his colleague (Dwayne Bravo) was trying to downplay the seriousness of the offense by saying that Pooran committed a silly mistake and should be forgiven. These sort of silly mistakes end up destroying the spirit of the game.
