I think Russia doesn't wants devastation, they know war has already given them a bad name, they just want to pressurise Ukraine as much as possible create this into a sort of seige and keep this holding until Ukraine decides to surrender the regions peacefully to Russia. Nukes are obviously out of picture so I am not considering that in the force that Russia has. Russia wants to play this war not only in the battlefield but also in the arena of democracy.

His idea of investing is exceptional and to be honest really impressive, he never invests merely because there is a demand for something, for him asset is only something that has value in terms of Current as well as future cash flows. If there is a startup that has a huge customer base yet has no real cash flows he will still consider that startup to be a dull investment because eventually, it has zero value in terms of cash flows it can provide in the future. If you think about it, practically in a business sense he is right, what good is a business in which you are continuously putting money but it doesn't give you anything back in return? But to be honest, investing has changed alot in past couple of decades, now people not only invest for future cash flows but also for a capital gain due to increased business base in the future. People see prospects of a cash flow as a bigger and undervalued asset as compared to a real cash flow. He is right with his thinking but this doesn't mean people having BTC for 50k are foolish.

RCB once again are choking towards the end of the tournament, now they have just one match left which is against the table toppers and inform team Gujarat Lions which means it is not going to be easy to get away with a win, PBKS, on the other hand, played really well, I think the sacrifice Mayank is making as a batsmen for bringing out best of Bairstow is really working, Only if Dhawan remains consistent, they now have a really strong first 6 batsmen list, I still feel they lack a bit on batting depth which you need especially if you are chasing a total. But to qualify they still need to win 2 in 2 which is going to be a tedious task, their one match is with LSG and other with DC which would be a knockout for both the teams. I think today's RCB defeat has kept the tournament still open for all the 3 spots to playoffs.

There is only one way to stop terror funding, which is pretty easy, I don't know why government is reluctant to follow that, give licenses to crypto exchanges and reduce the tax rate on crypto transactions done through exchanges, either put a big chunk of tax on transactions done without proper KYC exchanges or just illegalize them or keep mandatory reporting requirement, now hunt down people doing this business in cash, just how you track them down currently. This system would allow crypto business to prosper, at the same time allow investors to invest with lesser tax and at the same time would bring down problem of terror funding a lot. I don't know why are they keeping such exhorbitant taxes on transactions made through exchanges, as this is ultimately motivating people to do transactions offline.

I think KYC has it's own pros and cons as well, pros as in, whenever a fraud would take place it is obviously much easier to get hold of the people responsible behind it, therefore even recovery is easier in such a case too, also in minds of the general public this would increase trust a lot and eventually lead to wider adoption of cryptos, on the other hand KYC is bad as it very much defeats the whole purpose of cryptos, also if the government would bring insensible laws for controlling or regulating cryptocurrencies then obviously it will make it difficult for a free market to prevail, not to forget how easily these KYC data gets leaked and is available for cheap bucks in any blackmarket.  

First of all, No matter how autocratic any regime is, diplomacy is always the way out to solve any issue. Secondly, I don't feel a bit the same about the Russian people, Russia is a growing country, it has many geographical challenges, and too cold inhabitable areas & vast territory are just to name a few. Drug Abuse death rate in Russia is lesser than the United States( unless you feel US is devastated by Druge abuse too). Thirdly, talking about political leaders brainwashing a certain set of population, this is a technique followed all around the world China, India, Trump Regime to name a few.

Talking about the post-war scenario, it's not at all possible to defeat a country today using military strength if that country possesses a nuclear arsenal, even if the government somehow internally falls, there is no way a country would give up it's nuclear arsenal, the new regime would always want to keep this option with them in case of an external conflict. So all this is really a hypothetical scenario, the worst thing that would happen to Russia is that they might bitter their relations with the West in the future but until they have China in their support, I doubt west will do anything about it.

Haha Finally first time after IPL 2016, we will get a new winner to this IPL, I really want IPL to become a bit more competitive like this, If MI & CSK or any other team builds so many wins and gets a huge fanbase, it will just become like Premier League, people only watching matches of MAN U, MAN C & Chelsea and rest of the teams just having small fanbases. But yes this match today which a lot of people call El Classico of IPL didn't really felt like one, anyways bottom 2 teams were fighting and they also batted like they are playing blindfolded, first CSK collapsing and then MI collapsing while chasing such a small target.This really shows how out of form both the team are this year.

When it comes to the crypto market, FA is not even a choice, atleast talking about the traditional fundamental analysis, the main discussion points are P/E multiples or EV/EBITDA multiples but the crypto market doesn't works on these principles at all, we barely go ahead and calculate earnings of any crypto company before we buy their cryptos, FA in crypto is more about which coin has the best utility and solves a problem in the long run, other than that all these coins are just shitcoins deriving their value from something or the other. So in Cryptos only best option which you have for market speculation is TA. 

I am sure the GST won't be on the purchase or sale amount, GST might be on the transaction fees that the exchanges are charging, 28% on buying cryptos from exchanges make zero sense, even if the law i brought to kill the market it must make sense in any law, charging GST on purchase or sale amount of any financial asset is idiotic, because eventually you will have to give ITC on such GST as well, and you will never be able to collect tax because people will eventually sell it and pay GST taking credit of the GST they paid on purchase, so I am sure there will never be a GST on the purchase/sale amount it can only be on transaction fees.

Indicators are obviously useful, they don't give you trade ideas directly but indirectly they help you in identifying which trade is valid and which is invalid by creating something we call confluence, having 2-3 indicators by your side ensures that you get enough confirmation before you enter into any trade. Deciding which indicators to keep that obviously is pretty subjective, RSI is the most popular one for sure, a lot of people like that because it helps in identifying trends as well as the momentum of the market. Along with that EMA/MA helps you in identifying accurate demand and supply zones to help you identify potential pivot points.

You are absolutely right about this, basically, what LUNA used to stabilize the Peg of USD=1$ was they used to create more of LUNA in order to increase the total value of their USD peg available, similarly they burn LUNA in the other case, now the price has fallen so much that they will have to create a huge amount of LUNA in order to peg that value back to $1, when they go ahead to that LUNA which is already falling in price falls even further, when it falls even further, the foundation has to buy even more LUNA in order to peg the dollar value this is creating a cascading effect therefore making it impossible to protect the peg created ultimately subsiding the ecosystem, only way to protect UST is if someone buys out the whole system and backs every UST with USD. Other than that we don't have any way out.

Yes It is true that America's military is much stronger than that of Russia, In fact, if you understand Geo-politics, America's or NATO's interference in every world Conflict is a big reason why this war is happening in the first place. But is having a stronger military enough to win the war or at least in this situation stop a war? Answer is NO, unless it's 1945 and America was the only nuclear nation this would have been possible because US would have threatened a nuclear strike which is much more devastation than Russia would ever be able to do, but it 2022, Russia has equally strong Nuclear Arsenal to US, if US threatens nuclear strike, Russia will retaliate. So answer is NO, America with it's army can surely not end this war, but Diplomacy is the only solution here, if US can pitch in some agreement among both countries then they might be able stop this war.

So far it is only mandatory for companies to do so. For companies bringing this control is pretty easy you just add this point in the Annual Return that all the companies are required to furnish and tadaa , you will get details of all the crypto holdings of these companies, I won't be surprised if in future this comes in the Income Tax Return as well, and if it comes in that then obviously every person will have to submit their crypto holdings and government on annual basis will have details of all the crypto holdings that people are holding, but to be honest, for individuals atleast it's pretty easy to hide any such holdings from government, for Companies it's impossible because you eventually have to give detail of each and every penny spent.

I think this obviously will eventually grow, See the problem with women's participation with women is because of their lower participation in the field of technology altogether, if you someday see the percentage of female participation in field of IT it might be around 4-5 times less than that of women. however, after bitcoin has picked up the investment tag, since then many people have become interested in it, they think of it as a place where they can grow their money, and being the homemakers moms obviously are most worried about household investments going into the right place which is why I think Moms are investing into cryptocurrencies now.

I don't know if this is coming to an end or not, but I know one thing for sure, if you are getting an opportunity to buy BTC at half the price of it's all time high, and that also in when it has fallen so steeply this definitely is a time to buy it, I would suggest you to atleast buy one big chunk here and then wait for the market to react after this, if it goes down buy another chunk to dollar cost average yourself and if it flies from here itself then consider yourself lucky and enjoy the profits that you are making, but yes this is the time when everyone is selling so if you have free capital you definitely should buy at this moment.

Sad for you, that it was more than a thrashing win for CSK today, even though they are out of the tournament, you have to agree their performance has changed 360 degrees after they have made Dhoni their captain once again, Even though it's useless now at least for this season as it's too ambitious for them to qualify for the playoffs. But after matches on this weekend, the league looks pretty obvious now, primarily the fight is left for the 4th spot only for which RCB looks like the top favourites and leaders as well, rest of the teams have to win all three matches and expect RCB or RR to lose all three matches in order to get a chance for the playoffs otherwise NRR would become a deciding factor.

Actually, if you go by the law, it states that the buyer will have to deduct a TDS of 1% on the sale proceeds from the cryptos if it exceeds a certain threshold limit, however practically speaking this is really difficult, because not all the buyers here are institutionalized and not all of them hold TAN no which is required to deduct any TDS and deposit it, and no one will get a TAN number merely to buy cryptos after deducting TDS, also if these people do transact without TDS, I doubt the government would ever be able to detect such cases on noncompliances because these transactions would take place without the use of banking systems.

I don't know about their calculation but I took a great hit today, lost both the points today and lost the marginal lead that I was carrying from last 2 days. I also thought the same that IPL guys would want the calculations to get more interesting so they will definitely make KKR Win  but it happened entirely the opposite. Even for PBKS also it's almost over, it's difficult to win 3 on 3 matches that are left, and from that also one is with LSG table toppers and even DC can give a great fight to them. I think race has now narrowed down to just 4 teams for 2 spots with RR in the most favorable position and the rest of the 3 being equal. The SRH vs RCB match will clear some more clouds from this.

I really doubt this data point, because this data would only be formed using the bank transactions of Many Russians which have added their money into the exchanges or wallets like coinbase for purchasing bitcoin, it will largely exclude information of those who have held it on a private key wallet and have received the bitcoins from some other method. Because it's impossible for Russian authorities to differentiate which wallets belong to Russians. and to be honest the private key holders must be the ones having the major chunk. As per an estimate done a few months back only 6% of total bitcoins are there on exchanges so calculating it that way $130B might just be 5-10% of the total Iceberg.

It Isn't possible in spot, but it is possible in future BITMEX and I have even done it in Binance as well, basically, first you put a buy limit order on whatever price that you want to buy on let's say 40000, then you put a short position stop-Limit on 42000 but keep its trigger at around 41900, which means if the price goes to around 41900, it will then put a reduce only order at 42000 to sell this position that you might enter, similarly for selling it on a stop loss create a stop limit at around 38000 with a trigger price of 38001, which means this order will get trigger only if prices goes below 38001.You shouldn't find any erorrs in placing these and your purpose is fullfiled too.
