There is no doubt that the BCCI should be very interested in the possibility of having Indian personnel in the ICC. I believe that having an Indian person as the chairman of the ICC is going to be a great opportunity for India as well. As a result, the controversy surrounding India's neutrality in all of the decisions that are being made increases. In the event that everything goes according to the way you are saying it is going to be, we are going to have a bit of a controversy ahead of the ICC in the years to come. Despite this, I don't have any problems with Ganguly, since at least he has a good understanding of the  cricket. In addition, I also cannot say that he will be neutral in any decisions that he makes as well.
My first preference will be for Shashank Manohar. When he was the ICC chairman, he made a lot of positive changes to the revenue distribution model and voting criteria. I am more or less neutral on Anurag Thakur, while negative about both Srinivasan and Pawar. I understand that the performance of Ganguly was below par as the President of the BCCI. But I am willing to put my trust on him, because I believe that out of all the Indian ex-cricketers out there, he is the one with the best administrative and management skills.
BCCI is unlikely to put forward Shashank Manohar's name. Toward the end of his last tenure, there was some tension between him and BCCI officials due to the revamping of revenue setup and now there is a narrative building that it wasn't good outcome - Hinting towards new ICC subcontinent media rights deal- This will blow back when the complete numbers are published by ICC. There is a good chance of BIG-1 setup instead of BIG-3 in the near future.

Anurag Thakur could be a good choice but I believe he's out as he's already busy with his new gig of being a sports minister.

@Sithara007 My opinion is the same as yours as well. However, I highly recommend Ganguly to be elected as the president of the BCCI. He is a big-brain player, and I believe that he also has the ability to manage a team efficiently. In my opinion, he will place a greater emphasis on how to play better rather than how to get more money in the long run.

@JSRAW If there is actually a big-1 set up it is not going to be good. There is no way that democracy is going to be there. Already, there are a lot of decisions that seem to go against the democratic process. There should at least be an equal amount of power for all the teams.
I am really confused about who will be in power in the future. Srinivasan and Pawar both are out for me, it doesn't matter what happens in the future.
1522  Economy / Economics / Re: What define your success, "money, fame or achievement"? on: September 17, 2022, 01:57:41 PM
CONCLUSION
Let's stop making money and fame the only measure for success. Being successful is being happy and satisfied with ones fully achieved dreams. Money cannot buy satisfaction and happiness. Satisfaction and happiness is the true definition of success and anyone without this can not be declare as being successful.
Satisfaction. A word that you can't apply to people TBH. Why? When a person achieved one and got satisfied into it, that person will find another thing that will satisfy them, and the cycle keeps going forever. People will never satisfy with one thing. They will find another way to satisfy them.

As for being successful, for me it's subjective because different people have different definition of success. For some, they are successful already when they are happy and satisfied. For me, being successful is when you achieve financial freedom. When the point comes where money will not a problem to you anymore. For me, as long as I don't have any problem financially and I'm happy with what I'm doing then I can consider myself successful already.
To me money is very important factor for the survival. It gives you power and strength
Having no money and longing for money is a mental challenge too - hard to cope. So let's be clear that money is the most important thing is life and private life is a good choice.
Fame is expensive - very very expensive.

Money is vital if you want to survive in this life, but having a lot of money still cannot guarantee that you will succeed. Money can buy everything but can't buy real happiness for you, money can't buy health for you and your parents when time never stops. To be successful, you just need to make sure that you have money, health and love from your loved ones. Don't put too much emphasis on money.

with the merging coming? I will vote to more bearish for Ethereum and that would be 1k or even lower?  but of course since I am holding ethereum i am praying and wishing that the opposite will come lol.
reading posts here for more chances of gaining with best reason why this could happen.

Why does the merger make ETH go down??
as if this big event is not widely supported by the community which makes the price go down, because it is clear that with the merger, the transaction costs that have made the problem can be resolved. I'm sure ETH can break through $2k by the end of the month.


We haven't finished the month yet so can't say if ETH will continue to be dumped or not, but apparently, he was right when he predicted that ETH would be bearish once the merger was successful. This is quite a surprise result for us as it is considered a big event for not only ETH but also the market as we have been waiting for this event for years.

Let's be optimistic because in the long run ETH will be better when bitcoin price rises again, everything depends on bitcoin now. ETH is still the second largest coin so there is nothing to worry about.

With 2021 ending with a 150% increase in total crypto market capitalization, it can be said that we have seen tremendous growth. Congratulations to those investors who benefited from the crypto market in 2021.

What are your plans for 2022 to continue earning more for yourself? What do you think about the crypto market in 2022? Are we surpassing the uptrend and will the market soon enter the crypto winter? What will you do.

My talk & main points:
+ The crypto market continues to grow and peaks in 2022 with a total capital of 5.5T;
+ Then we will see the fall of the whole market and winter will come;
+ BTC price may then go back to MA 200W at 25-30K, but I think it will only come in 2023 and not in 2022

We are approaching the end of the year and the market has dropped a lot from the beginning of the year so far. Other than holding and continuing to accumulate low priced coins, I don't see any better option than the current situation. Let's focus on bitcoin and top coins, every time the market goes down, try to accumulate more instead of panic selling. The bear market will be very risky but also a rare opportunity to build for the future so we should take advantage if we want to be profitable in the future.
1525  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Ethereum price get to 4,000 in 2022 on: September 16, 2022, 08:48:36 PM
So will the ethereum price get to 4k before the end of 2022?
It is highly unlikely, with the recent ETH merger, it was expected by many to see some positive effect on the price of ETH since their network claims to have become more efficient transitioning from PoW to PoS. However following the news, we didn't witness any positive change to the price within the timeframe of the news, but even a decline in price. The merger news is one of the biggest news that ETH is going to have this year, and if this news didn't drive the price of ETH to a new ATH, I wonder which other news this year will.

You're absolutely right about your argument, merger was ethereum's biggest driver this year, arguably the biggest hope for ETH to break out this year, but it's disappointing that it didn't happen. The market is still falling and there is no sign of going up and the market will receive a new rate hike from the Fed soon, everything will continue to go down.

I expected the market to rally after the ETH event and then it would go down when the Fed raised rates but things didn't go as expected. We're almost to the end of the year, I suspect by the end of this year ETH will hit $4k, I guess ETH will have a hard time surpassing $2k this year, the $4k dream is far away.

IDK why Srinivasan's name is popping in this thread.

I think he's not eligible due to the Lodha committee reports and even if he forwards his name to BCCI (which is very unlikely), they can't forward his name (again, same reason Lodha committee). Also, he was removed from his last post for a reason and that's more than enough to keep him out for a lifetime. 
Check this:
https://www.theweek.in/news/sports/2022/09/14/sc-ruling-on-bcci-will-srinivasan-return-ganguly-next-icc-president-questions-galore.html

Rumors are that Justice D.Y. Chandrachud has formalized a deal between the Ganguly-Shah camp and the Srinivasan-Pawar camp. As per the deal, the first cabal will get control of the BCCI and the latter will get control of the ICC. Chandrachud has allowed Ganguly and Shah to remain as BCCI officials for the next 3 years. In return he want them to support Srinivasan's nomination as the ICC chairman. There are three other people from India who are qualified for the post - Sharad Pawar, Anurag Thakur and Shashank Manohar. Pawar is not in good health, Thakur is a minister right now and Manohar is opposed by the BCCI. And that leaves the sole choice of Srinivasan (if BCCI is interested to have an Indian as the ICC chairman). 

There is no doubt that the BCCI should be very interested in the possibility of having Indian personnel in the ICC. I believe that having an Indian person as the chairman of the ICC is going to be a great opportunity for India as well. As a result, the controversy surrounding India's neutrality in all of the decisions that are being made increases. In the event that everything goes according to the way you are saying it is going to be, we are going to have a bit of a controversy ahead of the ICC in the years to come. Despite this, I don't have any problems with Ganguly, since at least he has a good understanding of the  cricket. In addition, I also cannot say that he will be neutral in any decisions that he makes as well.
1527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 14, 2022, 05:02:23 PM
The most interesting game of this week can be Milan - Napoli.

There is a really interesting statistics about this matchup. I checked the head-to-head games and saw that Milan can't defeat Napoli in San Siro in a league game since December 2014. Napoli will have a huge psychological predominance against them as a result. It is up to Milan to put an end to this bad luck. They have a Champions League game to start in ten minutes and getting a win here would motivate them even more for the Napoli game. Milan and Napoli are both doing great in the Serie A now. Maybe it is a risk to take but I'm thinking of betting on Milan win @2.24.

I don't know from where you saw the statistics of the match between these two teams. But the statistics were wrong. In the last 5 matches between these two teams, Milan won 2 matches, Napoli won 2 matches, and drew 1 match. And AC Milan won the last match against Napoli. The match between these two teams has been very competitive. And I hope the next match will also be competitive. Because both teams are in good form now. Napoli is playing very well, they are now at the top of the points table. AC Milan is third in the table with equal points.

AC Milan  vs  Dinamo Zagreb

The AC Milan vs Dinamo Zagreb match has started a while ago. Neither team has scored yet. The AC Milan team seems to be the favorite but the Dinamo team is not weak. The Dinamo team is well organized.
In the first match, they won 1-0 against the mighty Chelsea. Today's match is Dinamo's away match. They will definitely not want to drop points in this match. Since they won the first match. So if Dinamo Zagreb can draw in today's match then they will be able to top the points table. Dinamo's goal is a draw. So it doesn't look like we will see much attack in the match. Maybe both teams will play defensively.
AC Milan will not take too many risks. Because they will face strong Napoli in the next match in Serie A. A full point against Napoli is very important for them.
1529  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto's biggest flops are now pumping ? But why?! on: September 14, 2022, 02:40:42 AM
this kind of project which has a dark past lost the trust of the community, trying to be pumped to get it back, but everyone will never fall into the same hole, so better find another better coin to invest

If they actually use this pump to try to win back the community's trust that's a good thing and proves that they weren't the masterminds of the last crash. But I suspect that this is not a pump to regain people's trust, but rather a manoeuvre to create a big hype to help them further their interests. This is a trap they want to keep people from falling into.
I hope people will be more aware of what they are doing and not continue to be the second victims of those scammers.
1530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 13, 2022, 08:58:10 PM
Kante has been injured for a month. Chelsea will be curious about how strong he will be able to play from now on. If this injury affects his performance badly then Chelsea might not think of extending his contract. Kante has always been an important part of this team so far. However they can find a solid alternative to him too in the end. Kante will need to convince them not to do so by his effort. Normally I don't doubt him but this injury period has been quite long. Let's see what he can do after his return on September 15.
Sure. Getting injured for a long time is very possible to affect a player's performance. It depends on how the effort of Kante to play again with his best form. If Kante has a strong intention to perform again at his best level, I think it is not impossible to see Kante play again in his previous form. As far as I know, Kante is a hard worker. He is a typical player who always pushes his performance to the next level. Because of this, I am not afraid that Kante will play again at his best level. And I am pretty sure that Chelsea will extend his contract as expected.

If I know correctly he is going to make a comeback pretty soon. He was supposed to be injured for three/four weeks if I am not wrong. And he is a classy midfielder. There are very few players who are as good as him. And I also agree with the fact that he is a very hard worker.

So I think he is going to come back strong. But at the same time, it is going to be a little hard to make a comeback after coming out from an injury. And it is also really hard to find CDM like Kante. So there is no question that Chelsea is not going to let him go. The contract has to be extended.
1531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 13, 2022, 08:14:30 PM
this rumor won't be that hard to believe, Tuchel is not a ba coach at all, and to be honest he is better than Nagelsmann, so with bad results coming like losing against Barcelona in the Champions League and another bad result in the bundesliga, there could be a very big chance that they will dismiss Nagelsmann, and Tuchel is available so why not, i can see it happening for sure.
Indeed, since the arrival of Julian Nagelsmann at the start of the 2021/22 season, Bayern Munich's performance outside the Bundesliga has not been too impressive, for example, Munich's failure in the UCL last season was one that attracted attention. Although Bayern Munich still managed to defend the Bundesliga title, Munich's performance outside the Bundesliga maybe a consideration for coach Julian Nagelsmann's career with Bayern Munich in the future.

Honestly, the Bundesliga title is absolutely nothing for Bayern Munich to defend at this moment. And right when we started thinking that the main target is going to be the champions League title they started performing badly in the Bundesliga as well. First of all, like a lot of other people, I also thought that this is because of Robert Lewandowski not being on the team anymore. But a lot of people are going to agree that Bayern Munich is a good team overall and not having Robert Lewandowski in the team is not something that is going to absolutely destroy the team. So now I also think that the coach might have some problems with his tactics.
1532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 12, 2022, 07:04:43 PM
There are so many unexpected results that turn out so many losses that I decide to call it off on betting for now, but Leipzig really surprise me too, the new coach Marco Rose must have seen the weakness of Dortmund and exposed that in that game because if you look at the stats Dortmund quite got some advantage with Ball possession, Passes and pass accuracy but Leipzig got hold with the shots and shot on target, and so much foul on Leipzig side 12 for Leipzig and 6 for Dortmund,

Well on paper Dortmund for me looks dominating in that game all game stats pertaining to Gladbach, and Freiburg has so many fouls which are 13 while Gladbach only has 6, and pretty much Monchengladbach's defense is on a high level again, but defense alone can not win the game,
Things are really unpredictable and interesting in Bundesliga as we have unusual results in early stages of this season with now Bayern Munich is at the third spot and Union Berlin leading the table with 14 points Freiburg lost his chance for leading table and ended in a draw at home against B. Mönchengladbach which is also not good in this season and most shocking result of this round is Leipzig beats Dortmund badly with the score or 3 - 0 which give second defeat to Dortmund in just six rounds, and now they are at fifth spot.

Bayern Munich is facing some issues in attack which need some quick work because if they are not going to settle things in quick way then surely they are going to be in trouble which can cause them big damage at the end now in next round we have few very interesting matches like Hoffenheim going to host Freiburg and Augsburg going to host Champions Bayern Munich.

In my opinion, Bayern Munich is the team that is going to produce the most unpredictable results. It really wasn't what I expected from them to have such a strong start to the season. For the last ten years, they have been winning the title every year. That is one of the main reasons why it has come as such a surprise to most people, and this has a lot to do with that. Other than the result from Bayern Munich, I don't see any specific surprise in this season till now.  Moreover, I am certain that Bayern Munich will be able to make some changes to their approach and will be able to make a good comeback. I dunno when that's gonna happen but in my opinion, it's gonna happen for sure.
1533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 12, 2022, 06:56:06 PM
Today, at the end of the 6th round of Serie A, Empoli vs AS Roma will play. The guests who, in the event of a victory, will be close to the leading teams by 1 point seem to be the clear favorite of the match. Empoli is doing very poorly this season. They have not won the match yet, and it should be noted that they have played against teams from the bottom of the table so far. I bet there will be no surprise today and the team from head coach Jose Mourinho will add 3 points.
Roma had never been defeated in the league before the match against Udinese. They only drew in the league match against Juventus. They had won all the remaining matches. That's why last week everyone had seen them as favourites. But they lost to Udinese differently. Then, they lost to Ludogorets in the UEFA Europa League match. They started the season well. But they haven't been performing well in the last games. However, at the beginning of the season, they formed an assertive team in the championship race. And there is a genius like Jose Mourinho at the head of the team. Undoubtedly, it will not be an easy away game for Roma. But I think they need to win this game. I agree with your analysis.

Somehow I believe that Roma were very overconfident going into the match against Udinese. And personally, I also thought that they are not going to lose this match.  because it till then they have been performing really well. But that was absolutely the opposite, of what happened. I think it was a real eye-opener for them. Since that match, they have not looked the same. It just feels like they are not the same team that had been playing really well at the start of the season. But I trust Jose Mourinho. I believe that he will be able to set this team on the right course again. I also believe that we have not seen the best of Roma yet.

It's official. Diego Costa go to Wolverhampton Wanderers. He has passed the trial training and now got a contract for one year. He is planned as a replacement for Kalajdzic. He got injured for a longer time, so Diego had to come so fast. For all a good deal. Diego Costa had no club and now he is happy to play again in the Premier League against. He will meet old friends.
This is a good signing for Wolverhampton Wanderers who have not been in their best form since the beginning of the new season. Wolve was one of the most difficult team's to be won by top teams in EPL but since the departure of Adama Traore to Barcelona, they have not been in good form again.Bringing  Diego Costa to the team now will be a good moral booster to the team because of his good striking force and his experience in the league is one added advantage to them because he will no longer need plenty time to adapt to the team since he was a former player of Chelsea. It's good to see him play in England again I believe he will also make history with them.

Obviously, this is a great signing for Wolverhampton Wanderers. They have only got one win in six matches this season. And this move should be able to give them confidence post going forward from now on. They did finish 10th in the last season. And this season I believe they will be able to get a better position compared to the last one. But obviously, they have not started well. I hope they will be able to improve their performance. Otherwise, they are going to finish as a mid-table team this season as well. And I think Diego Costa is going to be able to perform well from early on. He is a very experienced campaigner.

If Mane is an important and influential player, then Bayern Munich should be able to get good results, but what is happening now is Bayern Munich is not getting perfect results. This proves that Mane is not the only player who has a big influence on team performance, because after all there will always be times when a team will experience a decline in performance. This is a normal occurrence because maybe new players at Liverpool still need time to get the desired chemistry, after all this is Liverpool not Chelsea who do not hesitate to sack their coach suddenly.

In this case I believe his comfort and adaptability are the main issues, there is no denying that Sadio Mane had an important role and huge influence behind Liverpool's achievements, and if similar results were not obtained during Mane's time at Bayern Munich then the coach needs to rearrange the chemistry between the players.

Next Liverpool will meet Chelsea, judging from what Chelsea achieved I think there is no problem for Liverpool to get their win back.

There is actually some doubt in my mind as to whether Liverpool will be able to perform well against Chelsea. The point I am trying to make is that I am not saying Liverpool will lose to Chelsea. The reason for this is that Chelsea also has its own problems. In addition to that, they have just hired a new coach for the team. Therefore, it's going to be a very difficult task for Chelsea to face Liverpool. But the problem is Liverpool has not played well this season. In particular, not up to the expectations of a lot of people. Thus, I am not going to be surprised if Liverpool does not manage to come out of this game with 3 points. Having said that, Liverpool still has to do better in this match otherwise they will not be able to keep up with the points and stay at the top of the table if they do not do well in this game.

Juventus  vs  Salernitana

I am looking forward to the Juventus vs Salernitana match today. I wouldn't say Juventus' performance this season has been too strong. However, they did not lose even one of the 5 matches. Juventus scored 7 goals and conceded 2 goals in 5 matches. Although their defense is strong, the performance of the forward players is not satisfactory.

On the other hand, Salernitana has drawn in three of their last 4 matches. Looking at their performance I think their main target is to secure 1 point in every match. They will probably aim for a draw against Juventus. The match will be competitive if not enjoyable. Both teams will try their best to score points.

Sri lankan batsmen played very poorly in the beginning but after 10 they played very well and managed to score around 10 runs per over roajapasa is a great batsman in today's match but lankans gave pakistan a tough target 171 to beat lankans pakistan need to score 8.6 runs per over at home nil  It is not possible to say for sure what Pakistan will do, now only waiting for the top level

A target of 171 runs seems to be enough to win. If the bowlers can perform their duties properly. Sri Lanka's collection was only 67 runs in the first 10 overs. My guess was that Sri Lanka will not be able to give a target of more than 150. But they managed to give a big target of 171.

Pakistan's performance depends on certain batsmen. Over a few batsmen like Babar Azam, Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman. If the Sri Lankan bowlers can take the wickets of these three batsmen quickly then Sri Lanka will definitely win.

CNBC also recently reported on the ETH merger, saying that this is a historic event for crypto, ETH will use less energy…I remember very well in the past, these companies always talked bad about crypto, gave negative news about crypto, but now most of the news is more positive and more crypto-friendly.

Some analysts predict solana will soar in 2022, will it actually happen? considering the crypto inflation.

Holding solana now can be fraught with certain risks due to the recent solana crash, however at current prices it is appropriate to buy and hold, but don't buy all sol, only buy with money you can lose.
It is acceptable for a blockchain to have problems in the early days of development, as long as they try to fix it and constantly develop and improve, there is nothing to worry about. As far as I follow, the sol developers are still actively working, they still haven't given up on the project despite the recent problems.
I think it's very difficult for Sol to get back to his old ATH but a move to $60, $70 is possible.

My way of knowing that it's a good bounty is to be handled directly by a manager who has a good reputation. Of course, if the project is handled by an honest manager, each participant will get paid according to what they do.


It's a way to choose a good campaign, reputation managers will pre-check all the projects they manage because they also don't want their reputation tarnished. Participating in a campaign led by a reputation manager will earn us a well-deserved reward at the end of the campaign. But what about the risk we face that the token has value or not? This is something that the manager cannot guarantee. Sometimes the rewards received are not valuable because the project team cannot afford to bring the project to the exchanges.
