Rafael Nadal is a great star in tennis. We know how much he can achieve for his great sports performance. 2020 is a great challenge for his career but currently, the Covid19 has us all in jake. The world economy is being affected and most importantly the safety and health of humanity are at risk. I have never seen what we are experiencing the effects of the virus in the world. The first thing above all is that we succeed in overcoming the virus and the vaccine is discovered in time before it makes more damage.

I think both Roger Federer and Nadal are great tennis players. Roger Federer has more Grand Slam singles title than any other tennis player. I am desperate to see some action happening on the court but, in these situations I do not know how many more months it will take for things to become normal.

^^ For the record, its back-up plan with condition apply * If everything calms down, if not then no IPL

And IMO they have every right to get ready for any possible scenario, considering the fact IPL alone create 1000s of job every year.
As we know the T20 world cup is played later this year in Australia and right now the AFL is going ahead as they don't want to clash with the world cup so its going to be interesting to see what happens if the AFL is stopped due to the virus and what will happen with the T20 world cup as it might be pushed back which in a way should be okay as it will be the start of the Australian summer.

@JSRAW you’re right as IPL authorities are within their rights to prepare for the tournament, because if the virus issues ease then their backup plan can be put in action. @vella85 I feel the situation shall normalise before the T20 World Cup starts, otherwise we will be starring at the possibility of missing out on watching the T20 World Cup which will be really sad.

Everyone is hoping the same that the situation should normalise before the starting of the tournament. The government has put in a lot of efforts in containing the situation and hopefully everything will be at normal very soon.

Is it possible for IPL to be rescheduled in the month of May. I feel by that time the situation will be under control?
5923  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: CORONAVIRUS IMPACT ON SPORTS GAMBLING on: March 19, 2020, 12:08:58 PM
Of course this CoronaVirus has a huge impact to the sports gambling because as we can see that almost all of the games in sports including the NBA was cancelled and that means that the nba gambling will also have an cancelled because of this happening so there is really a huge impact to the gambling sports so all of us gamblers are hoping that this corona virus may end as soon as possible.

Except for sports betting, I do not think there is any other issue. Gamblers still can play other games available on these websites. Surely, there will be an impact on the revenue of these websites but, I am confident it is a temporary issue and in couple of months everything will be normal.

An wise man once said - never underestimate the power of common man! The upcoming steem hardfork is a perfect example of this statement. Community didn't like that Justin Sun acquired steemit platform and they are now moving away to a new platform.

Decentralized world is full of surprises and truly proves that majority always wins! I too am waiting for my hive token!

Nothing will change with steemit it will still have new users registering daily and new contents will come out daily. Those who will leave it have to again start a fresh and struggle to setup a new brand. This was a very calculated move by Justin sun, I am sure he knew this would happen.

Recent deadline (15th April) is because of Gov as they already cancelled all the foreign visas till next month 15th. If situation improves after one month (We have to wait and watch) then Indian gov might ease the visa process including other formalities and BCCI can think of running Short version of IPL for remaining days as this year schedule is already jam-packed.
The situation will get worse in the coming months as the virus is spreading rapidly and the only solution will be to push the event back or cancel it altogether and there are talks about even the Olympics will be pushed to next year and that will be the case with every major tournaments. But with the case of IPL the team owners will push for the tournament and we will see how the BCCI will decide how to rescue them from avoiding a huge financial loss.

Cancellation is last option, but if things go south then BCCI should pull their pants up and bite the bullet of revenue loss by cancelling the whole tournament. Financially or as cricket fan it sucks but in the end tough times require tough call as lives are more important.
This is really sucking because now latest update all sporting events for next two months are going to be cancelled and I am feeling we will live in stone age for this period as no sports nothing good and attractive in life for this period lock down is another worst thing happening.

I agree everyone is helpless, we can only pray and follow the preventive measures that is the only option left. Even the government is also helpless. They are trying but the situation is unfortunately going out of control slowly.

Until a drug is discovered we cannot do anything.
5926  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin Price Halving succeed with Currently Situation on: March 18, 2020, 10:13:42 PM
There is nothing to worry about it is just a temple phase before halving. Historically just few months before halving  price of Bitcoin always goes down and then again goes up.

Considering the global economic situation there might be a little bit pressure on Bitcoin price but, there is nothing to worry as Bitcoin has always come out of worst situation.
5927  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which altcoins will grow in price faster if the market recovers? on: March 18, 2020, 02:25:49 AM
The fall of the crypto market has stopped. At least some altcoins have not fallen in price for several days and even show weak growth.
Everyone knows that the time of crisis is the best time to buy.
Before the strong fall in the price of Bitcoin, I sold my coins and then managed to buy them back at a much lower price. Now I have money left for additional investments and I am thinking of spending it on bitcoins to average out in case of a fall in the price or better to buy other coins. What kind of altcoins do you think will grow in price faster if the market recovers? I am more interested in your reasoned opinion than the name of a simple coin name.

I have been following these five altcoins for more than six month now and I believe they will be the one who will go up faster than any other altcoin after the market recovers.

My first is Ethereum as it has the second highest marketcap.
My second one is BNB it is backed by Binance and has the potential to hit $50 easily.
My third one is LINK, I do not think I need to explain the reason. It has the potential to easily reach $5 or more.
My fourth pick is AWC it is backed by Atomic Wallet and has the potential to reach $0.50
My last pick is LTC, it has gone through a lot of ups and down but has always recovered and performed without any hickups.

If you think you any other altcoins can outperform my list of five then do add it to your portfolio.
5928  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin price drop 40% we thing causes "Corona virus" and world economic problem on: March 18, 2020, 01:58:08 AM
First of all, coronavirus highly attracted 'china' At first, it seemed to be just the problem of China but later on Corona virus became a problem all over the world. The main reason is that the virus cannot be controlled so far it has no effective preventive and outbreak. However, it seems to us that Bitcoin will revisit very soon That will be in a much stronger position than before.

Italy faces mounting economic damage from coronavirus

You cannot rule out the damm virus and the economic problem predicted to happen globally. But, most of it is price manipulation by the whales. Bitcoin was invented after 2008 economic problem to tackle the centralized dependency. It is supposed to be immune from outside issues but there can be some effects as it's value depends upon fiat.

Good for them!!

But I still prefer Brave browser over any other browser. I still will not trust there wallet and I have no clue about how secure it is. After all it is a web wallet that they are promoting.

I know many user love opera because of its free VPN service but hey the same service is there with Brave's TOR integration.
5930  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Las Vegas closes casinos and hotels in lieu of coronavirus on: March 17, 2020, 10:53:27 PM
When the whole world is on the verge of complete lockdown how can the casinos be left out. It is better they remain close for few days . It is better come everyone to stay at home. If there is an urge to gamble you can always go online and play on the websites. I am sure some prefer to play physically but it is better for everyone to maintain socail distance to avoid getting this damm virus.
5931  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reputation at stake will you stop gambling on: March 17, 2020, 10:47:07 PM
When you are into gambling you are already into the negative list of people in your society. As per the society you are a non performing and productive individual. So, why bother about your reputation?

You will remain bad influencer and therefore there is not need to think what they feel about you. I beleive in one thing I play using my own money and not theirs so who are they to lecture me?

Leave them all and enjoy your life as it goes.
5932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and KYC on: March 17, 2020, 10:42:41 PM
I am not sure you might be referring to fiat gambling sites cause I have not seen any crypto gambling sites asking it's user for KYC . Crypto exchanges are also not asking for KYC if you are okay to do transaction upto 2 Bitcoin. I am not sure about the faucet you are referring to as I do not do faucet. I have not see any cryptocurrency based site asking for KYC and those do ask I am happy to avoid and move to a new service provider.
5933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is like day trading ? on: March 17, 2020, 06:55:21 AM
Why is it that most people has such misconceptions about trading and gambling. They're both different platforms and has different methods, trading relies on calculated algorithm and analyze movements of the price. Gambling is different it is in the realm of probabilities, a true russian roullete type of platform where you can win lots of money or loss them all in one fell swoop.

Absolutely correct Gambling and trading are both different entities. With Gambling you are entertaining yourself whereas with trading you are trying to make money using your skills. I do not see making money happening with gambling and if someone believes that it is possible then that person would need professional help.
5934  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 60% Wiped Out - Will Bitcoin Have a Hard Time Finding Investors After This? on: March 17, 2020, 06:19:39 AM
June 2011- $31
Dec 2011- $2

Nov 2013- $1242
Dec 2013- $600

And from ATH in 2017x BTC later reached $3200 may be in 2018 and again rose to $13000.
It is not the first and it will never be the last to see such volatility.
Since there was no lack of investors back and each time with such dip, BTC came back with much stronger, I think there will be no problem at all.

I agree to what you are saying but you forgot another important aspect.


Global economy meltdown -2008
Bitcoin invented - 2009

Covid 19 - 2019
Global economy meltdown -2020

If Bitcoin can survive this meltdown which is going to be big then it will be immune to any such issue. This is the perfect time to test it. This is the reason why it was invented in 2009.

I am hopeful it will survive..
5935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: March 17, 2020, 06:02:03 AM
The Australia v New Zealand match still went ahead but with no fans in the stadium which was a different experience when watching it on TV. I actually found the match a little boring with out the crowd, its just not the same. It must be an experience for the players as well as there is no crowd to get behind the teams. Australia ended up winning the match easily in the end as New Zealand didn't really offer much. It looks like the series will continue even though almost all other sports have been cancelled around the world, even the SA and India ODI series has been cancelled. This could last many months unless the corona virus is under control.

In countries where not enough precautions were taken, the virus has spread at a startling rate. So I would agree with the decision by various cricket boards to cancel bilateral series and other tournaments. For now, the BCCI has postponed the IPL by two weeks. To be honest, I don't think that this is enough. They need to postpone it by at least 6 months, as there is hardly any chance that the situation will get contained in two weeks.
Most chances now we will not able to have complete season for many games as in Europe most of countries now calculating how to set things as they have no enough time for postponed games just like this IPL is mega event and just postponed is not enough because after six months we have packed cricket England is due in India so this is very bad situation.

Forget about sports for the next to three months. I doubt whether Oympics will also happen. The damm virus has just started spreading to every corner of this earth and most countries are helpless in containing it.

Europe which is far much superior medically to rest of the world is now the new epic center for this virus. Asia has just started, how many more people will die because of this virus god only knows.

5936  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 17, 2020, 05:56:28 AM
Do you think the IPL  will be held on the COVID-19 crisis??
BCCI postponed IPL until April 15 as per the government guidance but most likely it won't takes place because it just a one month time period still other part of world got mostly affected so overseas players will be hard time while getting into the country so its like bye-bye for IPL 2020.

RCB fans need to wait one more year to see their team on qualifiers. Smiley

The official news is that IPL is postponed till 15th of April. As long as we don't hear officially about the cancellation of tournament, there is still a hope.
There is still one month in April 15, and i think there could be some better situations by that time. I am sure no one will want IPL to be missed this year. It will be a big disappointment if it is really canceled for 2020.

The chances of IPL getting cancelled is pretty much high. I was just reading an article related to IPL and if it gets cancelled, how much revenue BCCI will lose and was suprised by the amount . Below is the source.
https://m.businesstoday.in/story/ipl-cancellation-may-cost-bcci-a-massive-rs-38695-crore/1/398357.html

There is a high chance that IPL will get cancelled because India is entering the third week of this virus outbreak and generally this is the week when the numbers spike up. Globally every country is suffering from this damm virus, so international players will not take a risk now.

Here is a youtube video which explains the virus pattern and why third week is so important?

The biggest economic crisis in the history was in 2008. Bitcoin came into existence in 2009. 2020 the world is on the verge of economic crisis similar or bigger than 2008. If Bitcoin is able to survive this situation then it will be immune to any situation happening in the outside world.

In my point of view it is too early to come into any conclusions now about the existence of Bitcoin.
5938  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Does Bitcoin Have Value? on: March 17, 2020, 04:21:30 AM
Bitcoin needs fiat and fiat determines its value. Fiat acts as a fuel to Bitcoins value. Without fiat being pumped into Bitcoin it has no practical use or value. Considering other cryptocurrencies in the market Bitcoin does not perform well as payment processor. Without its Fiat value Bitcoin won't be accepted by any vendors online or offline.

Your analysis is bookish and does hold any practical stand.
5939  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Beware of fraud crypto analysts! on: March 17, 2020, 04:17:38 AM
Everytime when these so called gurus says Bitcoin will go up it always goes down and when they say it will go down it goes up. I have noticed charts never work in crypto. It is always the news and historical data that can easily help you to understand where the market will go. I do not follow anyone in particular and do not plan to in the future.

I would not invest into any project now due to the present market condition. There will be many projects that will come up to either help the vi crime or to stop the virus. All of these projects will be scams so stay away from investment at the moment.
