After almost two months, watched a live cricket match today. Fancode mobile app did broadcast some matches from the Taipei T10 League. Don't ask me much about the quality, because you know the answer.  Grin But still I was really happy to watch some live action. And as expected, this so called "Taipei League" don't have a single Taiwanese player. All of them are expats.

I am looking to bet on any live match because its been a long time since i made a bet  Sad

Can we bet on these T10 matches anywhere ?

I doubt it is possible to bet on this match. The only reason we came to know about this tournament is because no one else is playing at the moment. I doubt they have any affiliation with ICC also otherwise it would have come up on cricinfo.

Lockdown can't be extended again and again for an infinite period. In my country (India), a large part of the population are daily wagers and they'll starve to death of the lockdown is not lifted soon. The government may be able to feed them for 2-3 months, but not more (especially as the tax revenue has hit rock bottom). My guess is that the lockdown will be lifted on May 3rd (at least partially), irrespective of whether the situation comes under control or not.

So within 2-3 months, we may witness a limited resumption of the sports activities as well. It will become the new normal, as we can't shut down the economy indefinitely.

Yes, the economic condition in those areas may become worse with the passage of time if the lockdown sustains but you cannot lift the lockdown due to this and say you have no option. Because if the lockdown is lifted and suddenly there are a lot of patients detected of covid19, this could be a worse situation for any country.
As per IMF report the biggest recession is on the way. Third world countries are the one that will be most affected by this lockdown. The situation is so bad that if y ou remove the lockdown medical infrastructure in these countries will collapse and if you continue the lockdown economic condition will get worsen.

India's economy was already struggling before this pandemic and now it will take a deep nose dive after the situation comes under control. Already salaries have been cut and many will lose their jobs now.

By now you might be aware that there are two kinds of wallet hot and cold. Hot wallet wallets are the ones that are always connected to the internet for example a mobile wallet and cold are the ones that are not always connected to the internet for example hardware wallet or a desktop wallet (if you donot connect your computer a lot to the internet).

Hardware wallet have to be purchase and software wallets are free to download. Software wallets support all major Operating system both mobile and desktop.

A wallet is considered to be best if it is open source, allows Private key access and backups. You can visit this cryptocurrency blog and check out the recommended list of crypto wallets for different cryptocurrencies.

I do not think this transfer is meant for selling it on the exchange. I think it is a general transfer, those who believe in the project know that after Ethereum 2.0 is launched the price will go up.

Reduced fee for transferring a huge chunk of money globally is one of the best features of Ethereum. No one can imagine only $200 fee for transferring 240 million in fiat currency.
5525  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best Ethereum Wallets on: April 25, 2020, 09:18:19 PM
Choosing a right wallet is most important part of cryptocurrency business. I have been reading a lot of articles related to Ethereum wallets and what I understood is that it basically depends on your requirment. For example hardware wallets are best for Hodlers and mobile wallets are best for traders.

Wallets that allow you to access your Private key and also to create a backup are the best. I prefer using MEW and MetaMask for safely storing Ethereum.
5526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why most gamblers can never hold onto big bag? on: April 25, 2020, 08:03:39 PM
I have one friend who used to play dice in stake.com, he started with a very small fund ($100), out of that money, he managed to have a balance of 24 ETH at some point but unlucky guy lost everything in one day. Once again, with the bonus he got from stake, he managed to cross 30 ETH within less than a month but yesterday, he lost everything once again.
How come he lost everything one day? Do most of the gamblers lose money in such way?

Incredible and very sad story.
I will say only one thing for his loss, it is greed. He should have stopped after he won 24 ETH. Why go for more when already you have made more than 1k.

Sorry to hear about his loss.
5527  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: May I buy Bitcoin & Ethereum now? Or I am late? on: April 25, 2020, 07:42:08 PM
Bitcoin you still can but, Ethereum is above the price range now it is already touching $200. If by any chance it fall backs and reaches $150 before 1st of may (which I highly doubt) then you can take your position.

Buy Bitcoin below $7500 range of below $8000. DYOR.
5528  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best coin in 2020 for long term buy ? on: April 25, 2020, 07:36:16 PM
I will still recommend Bitcoin before 1st of May, if you can buy then do so. The other coins in my list is Ethereum but it well above $150 and might touch $200 within few days. I won't recommend an entry there. The next coin is BNB it is below $20 so you can buy now. LINK is another coin to look into.

5529  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Good time to get some Ethereum? on: April 25, 2020, 07:32:11 PM
Considering the past few weeks on how the market has ben performing it will be a wise decision if you buy Ethereum below $150. At the moment it is week above the price point and by tomorrow it might reach $200. I think you should wait till the halving is over and then think about buying it.

Nice tweet!

I am waiting for history to again repeat itself.

Chernobyl happened on 26 April 1986

USSR dissolution happened on 26 December 1991

It took just 5 years and  8 months.

Covid 19 outbreak happened in December of 2019 exact date I am not sure.. so if history repeats it would be 2024 and April should be the month.

Are you comparing USSR dissolution time to covid-19 ? That's ridiculous. Covid -19 will not follow any timeline nor it will follow the 4 years patterns of bitcoin halving & bull run  Cool  
Covid-19 will only disappear once a proper vaccine is made for it and no one knows how much time it will take for the vaccine to be developed in laboratories.

As soon as the vaccine out then we can do the counting for CCP. Most probably a vaccine should be out within 12 to 18 months.

You mean no cricket and no normal life until 1.5 years ?

Why they are too slow like Misbah-ul-Haq in developing a vaccine .

Just go through this article and you will know how much time it will take. Pharma companies are currently going through human trials and they also need China's help as the virus originated from there. But, CCP is reluctant to help so it can take more time.

Few days back I was searching the same list for a personal project of mine. I did went research and found few but was not able to get the list of all the above listed coins. You did it a great help for me.Thanks for sharing.

For all kind of illegal activities NK uses China as its base. There are many videos on youtube about it. For cryptocurrency they might be doing the same they might be employing hackers from China who in turn are doing these hacks.

Rocket man might not be living any more in this world. I did heard some news about his death. I also heard his sister will be taking over the country.

The above news might not be true.
5534  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin Become Negative in Value? on: April 25, 2020, 01:39:39 PM
Could these causes bring the value of bitcoin to something similar to the historic oil Price drop of $-37.63?

What do you have to say about this?

Bitcoin's lack of privacy will prove to be its downfall just as the censorship of this once great forum will prove to be its downfall.

For more than 10 years now nothing of that sort has happened and for the next 10 years, I do not foresee anything. I can only see the growth and adaptability of Bitcoin. I cannot comment about the forum as I still consider my self new here.



I was shocked for reading a market breaking new as strange as this.

I paused and reflected again and again by applying this condition to other market assets.

I read from Blomberg that the price of crude oil has declined into a negative  of $-37.63/barrel.

What will happen to countries that depend solely on crude oil revenue?

What will happen to the investors in crude oil?

A very serious reflection is that fact that, is it possible for bitcoin value to also drop into the negative?

What if the following happen:
1. A ban in the demand for bitcoin and a ban in the use of bitcoin.
2. Backing off of bitcoin miners from the business of mining?

Could these causes bring the value of bitcoin to something similar to the historic oil Price drop of $-37.63?

What do you have to say about this?

That only happened in the USA and not Globally. the Brent crude price which is used by most countries was still holding and is still holding on.

As per my knowledge crude is a non-reusable physical entity. It can go into negative if Global consumption becomes zero. Bitcoin is a digital assets so it is only available digitally and not physically. If the global internet shuts down then it will disappear or in other word vanish. It can never go to into negative numbers but end.

Has anything changed since the coronavirus pandemic happen? Qatar might change its mind because some countries realize they need to switch to the digital and crypto assets to keep the trading flow amidst lockdown.

Forget anything this year. Most countries are now busy tackling the COVID19 situation and the same is also applicable for Qatar. They might look into it later on when things have settled down as oil and gas prices have also taken a big hit and it might be affecting Qatar's economy as they depend on gas.

For this particular game ; English media had a very colonial mindset about any Subcontinent team so they didn't bother to cover this game and same goes with the broadcasters.

I don't want to generalize anyone... but BBC in particular have a very bad attitude towards Indians. I've been watching BBC news regularly for more than 15 years now, and I have noticed this several times. On the other hand, international channels such as CNN, RT and DW are more balanced in their coverage. That said... it is a great loss for the Indians that the match was not covered. We will never get to see that amazing innings from Kapil Dev.
BBC and British media never been happy with any good things happening in sub-continent mostly they reports which bring negative point of this area just because of this they never been popular here like CNN and now DW is also doing some good work with the help of local broascasters.

Are you people talking about old days when British media was not fair ?
Today the things have changed dramatically and all the broadcasters give priority to cover the cricket in India more than anywhere else.

They have to do it as they will not generate revenue if they do not. British media is still the same and some of the US media are having the same attitude they still think they are superior to any one else in the world.

High Ad revenue got them changed dramatically.

When you are locked in the whole day, you do not feel the urge to do anything. The same is happening with me I have not been to any gambling website from day one. When there is so much uncertainty in the world and you do not know what will happen next how can you enjoy and gamble?
5539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: CORONAVIRUS IMPACT ON SPORTS GAMBLING on: April 24, 2020, 08:41:30 PM
The major sports betting websites wait patiently for the right time when they will announce the new promotions in order to recover their losses during the COVID-19 drama. The mistakes made by punters before the pandemic shutdown will be a good lesson to recover from the loss. Sports betting lost its credibility in the pandemic test and casinos took this position.
They are no losing their credibility, people will still gamble once major sports will resume again, they are just in a pause for awhile but they are not gone. Their reputation will remain as people still love watching sports while betting on their respective sportsbook.

Yeah it is short break for few month. when things become normal, sporting events will again resume and so will the gamblers. In the meantime they can gamble on online games.
