I have some on Binance as well, but as I have said, I decided to move it out like 2 days ago, the money is not that big though, but it's better that way than to regret later as we don't know the status of any exchange right now. They might be running on fractional reserves, or they don't have the money to back up all the tradings.

CZ though sent an email assuring that Binance has the capital and they are secure, but as we have said, not your keys, not your coins.
If Binance is struggling, would CZ be kind enough to convey that to the investors, hell no and we have seen in the past several years how exchanges would go bankrupt left and right and then run away with the user funds and then take years to get a portion of the funds if it goes the legal route and hence it is better not to take any chance and never store any coins in any exchange.

Sad and really unexpected.

I think everyone is familiar with Anthony "Rumble" Johnson. On punch knockout artist, but I have remembered him as fighter, who has competed in divisions starting from welterweight (that is from 71kg) to heavyweight (that is 94kg and above). Yesterday he has passed away from blood cancer... At the age of 38 only.
It was shocking and he was under treatment for over a year and there were rumors about his health when he pulled out of the title fight against Vadim Nemkov last year and when asked during an interview regarding the fight schedule Scott Coker even mentioned that health is important than a title fight and Anthony Johnson even said in one of his comments in instagram that he is not suffering from cancer to one of the query a few months back.

Many have surely missed the UFC 281 giving their thoughts and some maybe still are just watching the fight right now but in my case, I was really amazed at both fighters especially how much knowledge of MMA Israel Adesanya has shown that is why in their next rematch there are rumors that Alex Pereira will still be an underdog unless he would train in preparation on the ground
I shared my view regarding the match and i expected Alex Pereira defeating Israel Adesanya simply because of his striking skills and his past two wins against him and the reason is i expecting this fight to be a stand up contest and even in the Kickboxing bouts Israel Adesanya was dominating just before he got knocked out cold in the second fight and the first fight was really competitive and with small gloves things are different in MMA.  

Israel Adesanya really surprised me when he took the fight to the ground and the recovery of Alex Pereira after getting beat down and gassed out, he came back in the fifth round as a fresh fighter which was weird and astonishing at the same time, how can he recover this quickly. I am not expecting anything different in the second fight either unless Israel Adesanya decides to take the fight to the ground all the time. Styles makes fights and i think Robert Whittaker and Marvin Vettori can defeat Alex Pereira simply because of their superior ground game and Alex Pereira has a terrible defensive game in the ground.

My question is what Rameez had to do with the poor performance during the initial two matches? When the Pakistani team performed well during the New Zealand tri-series, the credit went to the players and not to the management. When that is the case, the poor performance during the initial stages of the world cup should also be attributed to the players. Managing the PCB is not an easy task, but Rameez has done a wonderful job so far. So I am in favor of letting him continue with the job, without much harassment.
Like i mentioned above, whenever Pakistan are performing poorly they would attack the coaches and the management. There was a time when Waqar Younis was their coach and when they fail terribly everyone would attack him including Ramiz Raja as part of the commentary team. There are some crazy things said by Ramiz Raja as well in the past and now he is under attack because he is the PCB chairman and he is still making statements in Twitter.

Teams with billion dollar leagues are falling behind us this is the statement by Ramiz Raja when India lost to England in the semi finals and when someone voices their opinion he is sending legal notices to them and that rings a bell as a hypocrite Tongue  Cheesy .

Wasim bhai, Shoiab everyone was pissing on management and players when they lost the first 2 games.
Granted, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Malik and Misbah-ul-Haq were part of a television show reviewing the T20 World Cup. There were pre match and post match analysis of the T20 World Cup and you could hear criticism from them if the national team plays badly. The same happens everywhere if the former players are part of a television show reviewing the match and they will not hold back on the criticism and how many times we have seen that  Cheesy.

Shoaib Akhtar has a youtube channel and he always come up with controversial topics, he just wants clicks and viewers in his channel  Cheesy. Even Inzamam ul Haq has a youtube channel but he is not posting controversial topics and hence he wont be getting views like Akhtar Cheesy.

it looks like Cristiano Ronaldo has just signed a partnership with Binance to have his own NFT collection starting from November 18.
I heard this news in June that Cristiano Ronaldo signed with Binance to launch his NFT and now they are launching at the eve of FiFA World Cup but there is accusation from fans because Cristiano Ronaldo appeared for an interview couple of days ago accusing Manchester United owners for betraying him and so on and now when he announced this in Twitter he is getting some backlash especially from MU fans.

I would say CR7 is late in launching his NFT, majority of the prominent players already launched theirs when NFT was seen as a hot topic and even Messi launched when the hype was at its peak but right now the NFT hype have died down and lets see how much they will be able to raise during the sale.

 I think Silva, a former UFC fighter, and YouTube celebrity Jake Paul's bout will be exciting, and I hope it will be decided quickly. The outcome of the fight didn't important to either fighter; instead, it was all about getting rich, being famous, etc.
The fight is over last month, the outcome is important for Jake Paul as he is pursuing a career in boxing, since you had no clue about the fight already happened, Jake Paul won the fight.


Jake Paul is calling out Tommy Fury once again, he pulled out of the fight twice and now Jake Paul said he is willing to travel to the UK to fight him and hopefully Tommy Fury accepts the fight and we can see him against a boxer, mostly boxers are ducking him even though they are not willing to give any credits to Jake Paul Cheesy.

All this is due to the recent issues with FTX.
What do you think about this initiative?
I am surprised that this proposal had an impact on the market because CZ is partially responsible behind the market downfall when he made his claims in twitter and then walking away from the FTX deal, even though i personally feel that it was the right decision because it is a bigger mess to deal with Grin.

The fact remains BTCitcoin was created to move away from the traditional system where the bankers mess up and the government always rescue them and the same system is proposed now. Projects mess up the funds and instead of government coming for the rescue they are planning to create a rescue fund Roll Eyes. So who will be funding these and till what level they can mess up to recue them  Grin.

Think positively, it won't go to very low price like LUNA because FTT does not have (and will not have ?) super hyper inflation by minting as same as LUNA.
Seed investors will be having a huge stash of coins and they will be selling the coins, it is a different situation than LUNA but you need to remember that Binance has around 10 million tokens sitting in their hot wallet and then there are reports coming out $400 million worth of FTT tokens are released by the team and hence some of the exchanges have halted deposit, so it is a shit show and it is better to avoid holding them.
770  Economy / Economics / Re: Meta fires 11k employees - Effect of economy or being bullish about metaverse? on: November 13, 2022, 05:46:56 PM
~
Mark stated that the cost of developing Meta for the following year would be doubled. That is enormous. Mark is really into Meta; the problem is if he fires more people next year. Mark is so into Metaverse that it gets to the point that he changes the company's name to Meta. I am not sure, but now the hype of Metaverse is slowly dying. It's likely because of the recession or what, but it is not the same as when Mark first announced it. In any case, I'm still hoping that the development will go well.
With the way things are going, i doubt they will be doubling their spending in developing Meta because after changing the name to Meta they lost a whooping $700 billion wiped off from the market and it has become one of the bleeding stocks in a long time which should be worrying for them and should think twice about increasing the expenditure and in order to tackle the current situation they need to reduce the work force.

But I think Sam Curran and Adil Rashid are the main heroes of England's victory in today's match. These two bowlers of England have done amazing bowling.
Yes they are, Sam Curran bowled one of his best spells in the format and he was instrumental in tying down Pakistan to 137 runs and Adil Rashid bowled well especially against two teams that play spin really well, against India picked up the crucial wicket of Suryakumar Yadav at a great economy and he continued his performance in the final picking Babar Azam and Mohammad Haris.

I was surprised by the result of that fight. Pereira was pushing every round. Izzy did very well in the end of first round, Pereira second, Izzy third and was looking more fresh in fourth. It was 3-1 in Izzy favor if we count rounds, but in fifth round Pereira went all-in, risked, pushed Izzy to the fence and simply punched his way to the belt.
One hell of a fight, it was like a matrix in the first two rounds as i woke up just in time for the final fight and i was even confused initially whether i was watching a video game Cheesy. Two of the three African kings lost their belt in the final round and Israel Adesanya was doing really well till the final round and i was expecting him to win on points but the corner of Alex Pereira especially Glover Teixeira was shouting to finish the fight and he just did that.

A major weakness of Pakistan is that when the top order is over, the match is over. It is difficult to win against a good opponent in such situations. As England is a complete team. England can be defeated by a combined effort. Pakistan have some good points here and if they can stay on the pitch especially top two wickets they can score a lot of runs. On the other there have good bowlers too. They can also do well in bowling action. But the Australian pitch is suitable for England where it will be hostile towards Pakistan.
Pakistan bowlers are bowling their heart out and if the batsman can perform well then they would have the ability to win the title. It all depends upon the toss as i think it is crucial and then the Pakistan top order has to perform if they are to win as their middle order is always struggling to score runs throughout this tournament. England have a complete team even though they have some injury concerns they have one of the best all round team in the tournament.

there are alot of discussion about the final - and the rain prediction is creating so much uncertainty among the fan.
Pakistanis are teasing Indian for not being able to qualify for the final.
Rain might be a factor in the final as the weather prediction is not that great. In social media there will be a lot of memes between both fans and as usual India failed to win a semi final in a global tournament which is not that surprising and with England in the final i would like to see the best team win the final and if the top order is able to perform like they did in the semi final they have a good chance and i think the team chasing have the opportunity to win the match.

England's batting line-up is very strong. They don't depend on the performance of certain batsmen like Pakistan. Every player in the team is batting very well. On the other hand, Pakistan's bowlers are in good form in this World Cup. So now it becomes very difficult to predict which team will win the title in this match. But in Pakistan, if the bowlers do not perform well in the final, then their chances of winning are very low. I would say the outcome of this match will depend on the performance of Pakistani bowlers.
England have a strong batting line up and so does Pakistan as they have a good top order and their bowlers are in good form and they can defend any decent total. England might have the advantage in terms of their batting strength but i do think that toss will be an important factor as the team chasing would have the advantage considering the weather. I do think that toss would be an important factor in the final.

I really cannot accept such a defeat by India. India is one of the best cricket team in the world, but in the semi-final, we noticed the utter failure of the Indian bowlers, which is unacceptable.
If you are following Cricket it is a common knowledge that India used to get to similar situations and then loose the match in the semi finals. India does have a great team but always fail to perform in major ICC tournaments and when is the last time you saw them winning any major tournaments. Not won a T20 World Cup after creating the IPL says a lot  Wink.

I would like to see Pakistan winning the cup and hopefully the weather would not force them to share the cup Grin.

I don't see a problem he chose doge over bitcoin to use for twitter, it's not an insult to bitcoin. Just because you love bitcoin doesn't mean everyone will love bitcoin, our market has thousands of different coins. We all know he's a big fan of dogecoin so it wouldn't be surprising that he chose doge, he used to remove bitcoin from Tesla payments so there's no reason he choose btc for TW.
I see him as a troll and the reason he said he is removing BTC as a mode of payment from Tesla is silly. May be he does not want to hold BTC when the market goes down and cited a reason for taking them down.

It would be better if he shouldn't do anything with bitcoin, it would be better for bitcoin, because he also just uses it to manipulate filling his pocket and not benefit bitcoin.
Who cares if he fill his pocket, can i be a hypocrite in thinking that he should not hold BTCitcoin when i am holding the same for my benefit  Cheesy.

Its just a smart contrat platform that no one is using. There is no big dex, not so much of TVL, not much userbase. Nothing will happend to whole crypto economy. Maybe people will be more sceptical about investing in shitcoins - which has net positive impact on market. SOL is only a overhyped, overpriced project.
There is no doubt that Solana got a lot of hype when ETH was literally struggling and they created an ecosystem as the next big thing that is able to sustain and scale. FTX was a major promoter in the project and now with their struggles, we are yet to see how it will survive because the network outages were a big issue and if it continues like this all the projects that started will migrate to other chains.

Looks like a comfortable chase for England, all the hype of India and Pakistan meeting in the finals is almost fading away Cheesy. Indian bowlers looks clueless against the onslaught of Alex Hales who is reinventing his form and this is one of his best innings in recent memory even though he got some starts in this World Cup. Unless Indian bowlers are able to pick some wickets now, they will run away with the match.

I remember in a forum vote asking about the bottom of bitcoin this bear season most people were predicting $15k and we were on our way there but it is not clear whether people will buy it or leave the market.
It is a shit show at the moment with FTX but anyone who is here in the market for a while would view these as opportunities rather than leaving the market. Yes there are many who entered when the market was on its correction phase and think that they are stuck and then there are many who are selling off at a loss thinking that the market would fall further. Only one word HODL.
