Once again Gujarat Titans have won the match with the power packed performance of Rashid Khan in the last over scoring 25 runs for the required 22 runs. This is a bad defeat for Sunrisers Hyderabad, because all the efforts that were made upto the 19th over was wasted in a single over. Muthiah Muralidharan who is the bowling coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad got much tensed upon the bowling of Marco Jansen. In most of the matches played by Gujarat Titans playing second have ended same as today.

After 16 overs, I thought the Gujarat match would be lost. But in Rashid Khan's unbeaten innings, Gujarat got an unimaginable victory and is now at the top of the points table. It was not easy to win by batting for 196 runs. The performance of openers Wriddhiman Saha and Gill was very good. They did well in the beginning but the middle order players did not play well. We have high expectations of players like Miller. He should perform more responsibly.
Even by the 20th over everyone could've believed it is a win for Sunrisers Hyderabad. All the expectations got crushed by Rashid Khan. Even if it is Tewatia, the match would've gone into the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Anyhow throughout this IPL Gujarat Titans were making big progress. Being a new team into IPL and performing the best. Important thing, Rashid Khan is a player for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the previous Season.

Are we witnessing only the beginning of bitcoin's adoption as legal tender around the world? What would the world be like if more developing countries and 3rd world countries adopt bitcoin and begin trading each other using bitcoin? Everyone knows I am a skeptic and have speculated these countries accepting bitcoin as legal tender are only doing it for publicity. However, I am presently not certain of this anymore hehe.

...//....::.

I think there is a serious discussion about how positive it is that bitcoin reaches "legal" status and then the addition of the asset or currency it is already an exceptional result, like saying the icing on the cake.

There is nothing that can be said with certainty about the fate of the countries that adopt bitcoin, this by itself is not a messiah in the achievement of improving economies, I think that the fact of adopting at each government that is added to the initiative mainly It is providing the right that individuals have to access the management of our assets.
Bitcoin being the legal tender in a country doesn't provide any certainty of progress, but for longer and term it assure with growth. But as a country it cannot hold, it needs to make regular transactions. These countries can initially make investment plans on mining bitcoin and later could've adopted it. Same time there were talks going on, that Bitcoin adoption by El Salvador failed based on certain data. I'm not sure, but it is the beginning and someday it'll be discussed as the success model for sure.

I understand that the stage of international cricket and club cricket is changing. and I think it is happening for the good of cricket because it might increase the popularity of cricket altogether.

But I don't see why a player who is not retired from international cricket, is supposed to prioritize franchise cricket more than his national duty. I understand that that pay is really good but I still don't think that franchise cricket can offer what International Cricket can. or maybe I'm just a boomer who enjoys international cricket a little more than franchise cricket.

Cricket is just like any other profession. You can't force the players to turn down a high paying offer (just like the case with any other career). The salary levels in IPL is 10x or 20x of what the players receive in international matches. Given this, can you really force the players to opt for international matches, when the IPL is ongoing? It is extremely unfair. Some of the cricket boards, such as the one in South Africa has done this and in the end many of the players were forced to take retirement.
I remember i posted something related to this like, 2 months IPL salary comparison to their annually national contract (south africa).

South African players make 8-10 (Given they are contracted from their respective board for that long) years worth of money from just 1 season of IPL.   
Based on the availability of the player will be the pay. This makes the international players participate into IPL even when there is matches going on in the country. Based on the performance will be the auction value for the players once the contract ends every three years. This makes them give more importance on performing well in the IPL as there is limited number of foreign players need to be auctioned by a team. Anyhow it is always a proven fact, money plays big role everywhere.

Dogecoin showed a 22% growth, bitcoin bounced to $40k+ value. Following this almost every cryptocurrency turned green following the bitcoin price move. Everything happened once after the tweet from Elon Musk indirectly stating that he had won the deal.

According to CMC data in the last 24 hrs bitcoin have touched price down to $38k and dogecoin have experienced a decline of 11% which can't be connected anywhere. Being a speculative asset, the market have reacted to the news and now it's back on the track. We can't be sure of the bull market based on these pattern of market movements.
1325  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to get rid of useless tokens on: April 25, 2022, 11:43:02 PM
It's annoying to have a collection of shittokens in wallets except empty wallets with no transaction history, but there's nothing you can do about shittokens other than ignore them, shittokens are locked for transfers except for successful one-on-one transaction approvals when swapping on pancakeswap and usually cutting high transaction fees , my friend once lost $15 only transaction fee for swap approval transaction on pancakeswap.
Users will be receiving tokens in huge numbers. When we have known about those tokens as a trap, the right thing to do is ignore. This is not a new thing happening now, this is seen from the days of ICO. We know what we've transacted, so just use those tokens and not the unknown ones to avoid unwanted spending. I've seen this much on the myetherwallet.

We don't know what is the reality happening within the country or it is the media that is making news out of these two countries. Came across a news in which it is mentioned that more than 65% of the people surveyed have stood in support of Putin.

So many Russians say they support the war in Ukraine.

We can't rely on the survey results, because it'll be based on small sample. If this is the representation of the entire population then it needs to be taken into consideration and analysed. Why such a big number is supporting the war which has been causing economic, and life destruction.
1327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: High Rollers on: April 25, 2022, 10:24:36 PM

their money, their rules! as simple as that. but i can agree that when you happen to play like for example in crash, and you will see someone putting up like $20k, and lost. just wow! wondering what they are feeling in those few seconds, and realised they lost that amount in one snap. but guess what, we'll never know if we are not that person. some can spend huge amount without battling an eye. but for most of us here, it is like our ticket to survival for the next few months.
The user have got money, and that's why he's spending. Whether it is being over within a second or it ended up after few rolls isn't a matter for such high rollers. We can't keep us in that place, because for we dollars to spend we'll be thinking several times. With the mentioned $20k one can lead the life for the next two years in a third world country and with the bet amount mentioned in the OP, one can have a good living for a generation.
1328  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin bounce back to 60k in this year? on: April 25, 2022, 08:05:21 PM
Indeed, after experiencing a price increase to the level of $47k a few weeks ago, bitcoin slightly decreased in price to the level of $ 38k. But in the last few days, the price of bitcoin has risen again where bitcoin is currently trading at a price range of $40k-$41k. Therefore I am optimistic that the current price increase has the potential to reach the target price of $60k.
The decline won't be as bad as it used to be, I think the correction is now less but bitcoin can go back up, but if you look at this short-term momentum, buy during a correction and sell when it goes up a bit I think it's quite good compared to having to wait for $60k it's still too far off for us.
But I think the price can still hold and the resistance is $37k-38k we have to see that support if we want to move in the short term.
The price of bitcoin is moving within specific range. It can go above $60k with ease. For sure the price will undergo market correction. This corrective price movement is quite common, but the market is in good condition. The market have got good support. Until yesterday there is no big news, and today new information have come. If the price of bitcoin closes down to $38600 the midrange support will be $35400. Right now the market is very slow in either side,( Growth )

Punjab scored a balanced total run and it was not easy for CSK in that match. Rayadu was fantastic and played a good innings but he didn't get any strong partnership with him. At the end of the match, after 16th over, it was easy to win for CSK but Punjab played well and managed to win the match.
Just look at the scoring pattern of both the teams. From the beginning Punjab kept creating partnership, and each and every player have contributed with a two digit score. Look at the Chennai team, Uthappa, Santner, Dube altogether have contributed 18 runs out of 29 balls. They play at the very important position, because of the opener isn't able to contribute these players need to fulfill. Here everything has happened upside down and that's a major reason for Chennai team losing against Punjab.

Competing with the IPL in the middle of all the problems that Pakistan is facing right now is going to be a really hard job for them.

I am not saying that it is impossible but the amount of popularity and impact IPL has is just unbelievable. and to be honest they truly do not even need the whole world to see the IPL. Their own population is good enough to generate a good amount of money.

It is going to be really interesting if Shahid Afridi actually takes the job. I have always liked him as a player and he has a really good sense of cricket. so I think it will be really great for Pakistan overall if he is in the authority.
Shahid Afridi taking the authority of PSL will be good, but the major focus of these leagues were much upon revenue and not upon development of cricketing. So, it'll be good to add a business person along with the Shahid Afridi. Pakistan to compete against IPL is not an easy thing and it takes time and much money. As in the above quote, the viewers within the country is more than enough to make it popular than any other leagues conducted around the world. For an information, the viewership on the platform hotstar reached 8.3 million during the last over played by Dhoni against Mumbai Indians.
1331  Economy / Economics / Re: The first rule of investing is saving on: April 24, 2022, 11:59:41 PM
investing and saving is a plan for future finances to become more established and easier....
but basically all of this must be done with established management because most people are reluctant to save and prefer to invest so that the money can always work for themselves.
Savings assure the benefits, but the growth is limited. It is always good to save and then invest a part of the savings. This will reduce the risk and if there is good growth out of the investment, just keep on increasing the investment value. This will give more benefits than just saving. Most of the middle class turn to be upper middle class only through the process of saving and the investing it.
1332  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Without banking bitcoins will be work on: April 24, 2022, 10:58:11 PM
Banks were the primary financial management service providers. Also these banks function under the government control. When we talk about bitcoin getting added as the payment gateway along with banks being the primary payment source. Increase in the direct acceptance of bitcoin will eliminate banks, but the same won't take banks away from its usage.

If the wicket of Rahul is taken earlier Lucknow Super Giants team wouldn't have reached this score. Another thing, Rahul have got a record of scoring highest runs against the Mumbai Indians team among the entire T20 teams. With the previous match against Mumbai Indians he scored 103 runs in 60 balls and today he scored the same 103 runs in 62 balls. In both the matches he was not out and he's directing the team perfectly towards win.

Gujrat Titans  :  Kolkata Knight Riders

After winning the toss, Gujarat decided to bat today. At the end of 18 overs, their collection is 140. Most likely today's pitch is bowling friendly pitch. Even then, it is difficult to win by setting a target below 170. Kolkata's team is not weak. Their batsmen are performing well in almost every match. And so if Gujarat gives less than 170 targets today, then Kolkata is more likely to win today's match.

GT add one more success to there name and now they have won 7 out of 8 games they have played. 156 was a very small target and KKR should have chased that. Apart from Andre Russell and Rinku nobody bothered the scoreboard much and in the end its 8 runs victory for GT.
Yes, 156 runs is chasable. Everytime a team losses the match out of small margin, then it'll be the lack of performance at the opening. Finally there is hope with the batting of Andre Russell, but he wasn't able to do it in the last over. Gujarat Titans once again made themselves strong with the win. Gujarat Titans have almost confirmed for the playoff. Now in the second match Royal Challengers were performing the worst of IPL.
1335  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Breaks Past The $40,000 Barrier Again? on: April 23, 2022, 12:01:20 PM
I think the crypto market seems to be starting to get better and heading into the green during the third week of April. Even now the bitcoin price has broken through the $41k area again. Therefore, looking at the current price movement there seems to be no obstacle for bitcoin to hit its $50k price target in the next few weeks.

But I guess this is where the price is going to play along, $40k range and maybe up to $45k. I still have doubts that we will hit $50k just like that. It you would remember, we have a sort of mini bull run from $39k to $48k only. It didn't reach the peak price of $50k as others have predicted. So there's no way that suddenly we will go and touch $50k again without any good news.
Only 9 days left to the end of April, if Bitcoin continues to maintain its slow and steady gains, we can expect a price of $45k for this month without any FUD. Previously, I was expecting $50k for the end of April target but it seems all my predictions fell short of expectations. Indeed, we need positive news to have the momentum to push bitcoin to the $50k, news of Australia launching Bitcoin ETF and Ethereum ETF was the reason for the slight increase in Bitcoin but it was not enough to cause Bitcoin to spike.

On the contrary, my prediction is also wrong, $45k is not going to be reach with how the price is moving in the last 24 hours as it goes down again, to $39k. So there is no momentum, no push at all from the bulls. And even there is such positive news from Australia, still the market can't hold as there is obvious selling pressures. Full week now before the end of April, and hopefully $40k could still be the price.
Though there is good news from Australia, the market is not that reactive. The US Dollar Index have bounced and the same has impacted the market downwards. Bitcoin tried to maintain the $40k support, but it wasn't able to withstand and failed. This further tested the momentum and the price fall back to $39200. Now there is continued price fluctuation resulting in the price movement within limits.

Already Sweden is the on the top list of cleanest country in the world based on the highest Environmental Performance Index score. The country focus much on sustainability and it is among the list of low carbon dioxide producing country. Cleaner countries have higher life expectancy compared to other countries. Sweden have low airborne pollution which is good for human health. Sweden is much into the usage of renewable energy sources. Destroying garbage to generate electricity is really good and as now it should have plans to limit the emission of carbon dioxide to the environment.
1337  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Honduras SEZ accepting Bitcoin as legal tender. What could be the benifits? on: April 23, 2022, 09:09:42 AM
I don't know how this will reduce poverty. Poverty in a country happens out of improper governance and the imbalance in the economy. To overcome this the government needs to take more productive initiative to provide job as well as the basic needs of people. Just on legalizing bitcoin or through adoption of bitcoin in special economic zone of a country isn't gonna make an impact over country's economy as well as in reducing poverty.
1338  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is it bad to leave crypto on exchanges? on: April 23, 2022, 08:31:14 AM
Maybe if you use the funds on regular trading, then you can prefer to have the holdings in an exchange. That too not recommended, if the fund values big. Probably on a trusted platform like Binance it won't be a problem. If the plan is for long term holding, then never think of having it on any exchange or any of the third party platform.

Also don't fall for mere profit investing cryptocurrencies on third party service and multiplier schemes that assure with returns within a day. Even sometimes you might get directed to some scripts that show deposit and get doubled instantly. Down some positive reviews will be running as I deposited $100 and received $300 within few hours. With cryptocurrency in each and everything you need to be cautious.
1339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 22, 2022, 06:09:45 PM
Finally Rajasthan Royals won the match by 15 runs. The winning credit goes to Prashid Krishna who bowled the 19th over taking a wicket without giving any runs. If 10 runs have come out of that over, then Delhi Capitals would've played with less pressure in the last over which could've helped Delhi Capitals win the match. Anyhow from the beginning to the last both the teams had the similar scoring pattern. The difference is much on the 19th over as well as on the fall of wickets.
1340  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Any unexpected incidents - Bitcoin on: April 22, 2022, 12:59:22 PM


During the start of the year one of my friend who is running a travel service gave a table calendar. I just had it, and suddenly while looking for the date saw the image of bitcoin being mentioned in the calendar. This is something unexpected and it isn't a big thing, because the editor of the calendar might've added it. However slowly bitcoin is getting displayed here and there without reason. Does this intend people to know what is it.
