Everyone expected Namibia to give a good fight against South Africa, and in the end we got the most one sided match of the tournament so far. South Africa mopped the floor with their African neighbors, and won by a record 57-3 margin. Very difficult to believe that it was the same Namibian side which gave such a tough fight to Italy. The highlights of the match can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvI7jxkWZhM |

There is a T20 tri-series ongoing in Singapore, in which Zimbabwe and Nepal are participating in addition to the hosts. In the first T20 match today, Zimbabwe defeated Nepal by 5 wickets.
Do we have a betting line for these games, have not seen any matches of Nepal but i can guess there is no way they are going to defeat Zimbabwe as they can even pose a challenge to teams like Afghanistan and Bangladesh even though they are weak in terms of the giants in the cricketing world. I am waiting for their next match to wage a bet to try my luck  . Nepal has a small chance of defeating teams such as Bangladesh and Zimbabwe (in T20s). But I don't think that they'll be able to beat Afghanistan. The Afghans are a level higher up, when compared to the other teams mentioned here. And unfortunately Nepal will not be a part of the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup, as they failed to qualify (lost to Singapore in the Asian qualifiers). |

^^^^ With just one day remaining, I guess they will declare before the start of play tomorrow and allow the Indians to begin their innings. South Africans may be happy with the performances from Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma. On the other hand, there were no bright spots for India, with the exception of Jadeja (I am talking about Dharmendrasinh Jadeja).
Didn't watch this Dharmen guy bowling, I was more interested in Umesh Yadav performance but he bowled short spell, only positive is he took wicket with the new ball. Not just only happy, Markram performance is very good sign for Proteas. i am more interested in What kind of pitch India offers in first game though. Well.. they'll either prepare a spinning track to aid Ashwin & co. or they will prepare a flat track to help the one man army of Virat Kohli. The chances are greater for the first option, as the management will be looking for a definite result in the first test. If they prepare a flat track and both the sides score 500 plus, then the match will end up as a draw. |

There are so many good ideas... as can be seen among the recent bunch of the IEOs and ICOs. But what we should remember is the fact that a good idea not necessarily mean good returns for the investors. IMO, the users should go for the most viable project, rather then going after the best idea. A lot of things needs to be taken into consideration, including the price, promoter share, exchanges in which it is being listed and the percentage completeness of the development work.

related to fundraising, I think IEO is a good investment method besides ICO. IEO has attracted market investment, many investors are taking part in IEO which are listed on large exchanges, I think investors today are smarter and will not put money in crocodile holes.
I would agree with most of what you had posted. But still, I have doubts regarding some of the IEOs that are ongoing in medium-sized exchanges such as Coineal. They are not screening these IEOs properly and there is a high chance of these projects failing, sometime in the near future. IEO is a relatively new phenomena, and all of its risks and uncertainties are not revealed to the users as of yet. |

I don't know whether we can blame them. Everyone wants to become rich. Cryptocurrency users are no exception to this rule, irrespective of their duration of association with cryptocurrency. The new users may be feeling a bit impatient now, as the last ATH for Bitcoin was reached almost 2 years back. And I should say that two years is a long time, with any type of asset.

I think the government is not afraid of bitcoin. But because they don't want any other currency that can change their country's economy. In fact, cryptocurrencies are a free type of money and no one can control them. So the women themselves will not benefit when their people use crypto. Because we don't have to pay taxes when dealing with the government
Countries where the economy is heavily manipulated by the government will be less willing to allow the usage of cryptocurrency. China is a perfect example for this. The Chinese economy is heavily rigged, and the stocks are overpriced by a factor of 2 or 3 times when compared to the same in the neighboring nations. On the other hand, countries with strong and healthy economies (Japan, Switzerland.etc) are more tolerant about Bitcoin. |

If you'll try to replace taxes with printing money (which is effectively a tax on owning money), you'll just destroy your economy, because no one would want to own money and the inflation would be much higher than what would you expect from simple calculations. Taxes can be very complex, there are tons of rules that can increase, decrease or even remove taxes for certain situation, meanwhile printing money just affects everyone the same, so this idea is much worse than taxes.
I agree. A better idea would be to remove the direct taxes (income tax, corporate tax.etc) and replace them with higher indirect taxes (Value Added Tax, Goods and Service Tax.etc). This will make sure that the richest category can't use loopholes to avoid paying taxes. Also, the tax base will cover the entire population, rather than those who earn above a certain threshold. |

There is a T20 tri-series ongoing in Singapore, in which Zimbabwe and Nepal are participating in addition to the hosts. In the first T20 match today, Zimbabwe defeated Nepal by 5 wickets. Nepal had a great opportunity to upset the Africans, and had them at 4/37. But as usual with the smaller teams, they allowed the Zimbabweans to rebuild the innings. For Nepal, Sandeep Lamichhane took 3/15. Tomorrow Singapore is playing against Nepal.

Very strange that the entire match got washed off. Rain was not predicted for today and what happened was really unexpected. I am not sure what will happen to the remaining matches. As per the weather agencies, there is hardly any chance for rain. But you never know whether they will be right or not. Feels bad for the Pakistani fans, who waited many years for an international match.

If Libra becomes a reality, then I have no doubt that a lot of people will end up purchasing it. But the big question is whether the governments will allow Facebook to issue a cryptocurrency. So far, the signs are not very encouraging. Even in the United States, they are facing a lot of pressure from the authorities. If this is the case with the US, then you can imagine what will happen in the other countries.

Yes, these shitcoins are just a reminder of your unsuccessful and your wasted investment. Once you choose a wrong project to invest in, you are left with a bunch of shitcoins that will remain in your wallet for eternity and will keep on haunting you of your past failure.
A lot of us put in quite a bit of hard work to earn these shitcoins from various bounty campaigns. Back then we had high hopes of getting good returns from them. But our hopes were dashed in 2018, when many of these coins became worthless. Those users who held on to them, trusting the numerous posts advising the bounty hunters "not to dump their tokens", have these worthless tokens still in their wallets. |

One thing is very sure. At least in the near future, no other cryptocurrency is going to replace Bitcoin. And despite the stagnant exchange rates, the user base has been growing at a brisk pace. More and more institutional investors are showing interest in Bitcoin. At some point of time in the future, all this will contribute to another major bull run, which can take BTC to a new ATH. And who knows? This might be the last chance to accrue some coins at sub-10,000 levels.

Good that Lukashenko remained in power during all these years. Else they would have ended up like Ukraine or Moldova, losing 20% of the population and civilians starving without proper food or heating. I am not very fond of dictators, but Belarusians don't have any other option when the alternatives are far worse. See what the Ukrainian politicians have done to their people. Authoritarian regimes within the former USSR (such as those in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan.etc) seems to have fared much better when compared to the "democratic" governments (Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia.etc). I heard that during the Donbass war, large number of Ukrainians came as refugees to Belarus, ready to work as farm labourers for $100 per month.
Democratic countries like Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have been doing very well, Ukraine is screwed due to how closely integrated they were with Russia as a Soviet republic and the ties remained incestuously close after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. I don't know what kind of people in Ukraine would be willing to go and work abroad for $100 when they can easily find work as unskilled construction laborers or factory workers for $500 month with free accommodation in Poland. I don't think you can compare the Baltic nations to the remainder of the ex-USSR. The Baltic nations were lucky to be included within the European Union, and they ended up receiving huge subsidies and every single resident qualified for the right to work across the EU. At least Russia had huge petroleum and natural gas deposits, so they avoided starving. On the other hand, Ukraine and Belarus doesn't have any such resources. |

Altcoin season really comes! We observe a good growth of almost all altcoins on the market, we think that this may be due to the launch of the Bakkt platform, through which institutional investors will work more
A temporary spike can't be mistaken for an altcoin bull run. After a short spike which lasted one or two weeks, the altcoin exchange rates are going down once more. The users have realized that as of now most of these coins have very little practical usage. In my opinion, they will continue to go down, with or without Bakkt. Just because Bakkt has been launched, it is not going to give any lifeline for these shitcoins. |

ODI cricket returning to Karachi after 10 long years. But foreign teams had visited Pakistan during 2009-19. Back in 2015, Zimbabwe had played three ODIs and two T20 matches in Lahore. In 2017, Sri Lanka played one T20 match in Lahore (remaining matches of the series were played in the UAE). And last year, the West Indies team played three T20 matches in Karachi.

While talking about initial coin offerings, we need to compare each and every one of them with the Ethereum ICO of 2015. I consider the Ether ICO as a benchmark for measuring the coin offerings. Back then 52 million tokens were on sale and the soft-cap was fixed at $16 million. Compare it to the current bunch of ICOs, who ask for $100 million or more, with even the initial phase of development not completed.

Unfortunately i didn't see the countries from Africa continent and most of the countries on the list dominated the countries from Europe and America continent and maybe one of the caused why African are excluded because still dominated by poor countries so none of them can be able on the list and from Asia too if i'm not mistaken only three countries can be the top 30 position for average personal amount of savings statistics
Africa is rich in natural resources and many of the countries (such as Angola, Nigeria and Gabon) earn huge amount of revenues every year from the petroleum and natural gas exports. But this money almost never reaches the common people. A very large fraction is taken out of the continent and deposited in tax heavens such as Switzerland and Channel islands, while the people still live in abject poverty. |

Yesterday we witness one of the closet match between Uruguay and Fiji and probably the first big upset of this world cup.
Important to mention that this was Uruguay's first win in 16 years and only their 3rd world cup win. Juan and his team had a memorable moment of their lives when they beat Fiji.
With this win, Uruguay move up to 3rd position in the pool D.
Watched the match highlights after reading your post. It was a very close one, and Uruguay managed to scrape through by a slim margin (30-27). In rugby you don't expect the teams from Oceania to go down against Latin Americans. But Uruguay was able to score a major upset. BTW, today we had two very one sided matches (Italy vs Canada, and England vs USA). |
