I was waiting for the next 2nd test match which is held between Pakistan and Newzeland and I hope this time Pakistani team show some potential and give their 100%. Our team highly disappoint us on their last test match all the team goes back to the pavilion without contributing the score. New Zealand is now leading the series with 1-0 and in order to draw the series Pakistani should have to do something and give the big target otherwise they'll lose this series too as they lost the T20
When is the Pakistan and New Zealand series, i checked at their schedule and could not find anything and PSL is starting this week so what is the schedule. What i know is that New Zealand is scheduled to face Australia next week.

 

The South African strain of the Coronavirus is a big concern all over the world and I believe that CA did the right thing by requesting to move the series to either Australia, or to a neutral venue. It is the CSA which remained adamant about this.
CA did the right thing to cancel the tour, there are more strains of the virus and CA have the rights to decide whether to send the players and more over the players will opt to avoid the bubble and the situation. The financial loss for CSA is their concern and they might be looking for some kind of compensation.

It is the biggest card this year and Israel Adesanya moving up will stall the middle weight division but i want to see him win the belt and then challenge Jon Jones to come out and that is another huge fight with all the battle they are engaging in twitter  Grin.
There are no contenders for Israel Adesanya in the Middleweight division and he defeated all the top ranked fighters in the division and hence he is moving up to face Jan Błachowicz and it is a really tough fight and everyone is expecting Israel Adesanya to be the double champion and then go on and face Jon Jones, but i have a feeling that Jan Blachowicz wont be an easy fight and if Adesanya wins then the Jon Jones super fight is inevitable.

Don't want to deviate from the topic too much.. but right now there is no rightful owner for that diamond. It was originally mined from the Kollur Mine around 900 years ago by the Kakatiya dynasty. When Alauddin Khalji defeated the Kakatiyas and looted their treasury, the diamond came under his possession. From Khalji, it ended up with the Mughals. In 1739, the diamond was stolen by Nadir Shah of Persia when he invaded Delhi. Ahmad Shah Durrani received the diamond in 1751 and his descendant gifted it to Ranjit Singh in 1813. Queen Victoria received the diamond in 1849, after the Brits defeated the Sikhs. With so many owners, who is the rightful one?
So basically there is a confusion relating to the ownership of the gem just like the gold stolen from Rome by the Germans and the long dispute that went on for decades.

Now back to the match. Michael Vaughan made such a fuss about the pitch yesterday (and got in to an argument with Shane Warne). And today, the no.8 batsman from India scored a century on the same track. And let's not forget. This is the same Michael Vaughan who predicted 0-4 series whitewash in Australia for the Indian team (India won the series 2-1). 
I saw the twitter battle and how Shane Warne responded when Ashwin scored a century when England fans and players were crying about the pitch  Grin.

England is in deep trouble and it is a matter of how long England have the patience to defend against Indian spinners.
1104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The gambling black market thrives in Britain on: February 15, 2021, 09:18:42 PM
Was unfortunate to have fell into something i wanted not but becasue of my mindset towards gambling i choose to gamble whenever i have the funds. Whenever dealing with illegal gambling platform if anything happen nothing could be done to these platform because the police won't get involve. Some years back i lost a whooping sum of money $3000 but couldn't make any report to my local Police, i won't advise anyone to get involve into illegal gambling.
I am gambling only in crypto based gambling sites but earlier used to gamble with some of the reputed sites but never checked whether they are illegal or legal according to the authorities, all i check is whether is having any major complaints from users and if they are clean i usually gamble and i never faced any problem with any of the sites and the reason users are attracted to black market sites might be because they might be giving more offers than legal sites. I would like to know how you lost $3000 and in which site?.

I've used Xapo at one point (2015-16) and BitGo, which until recently had the majority of my coins. I had no issues with BitGo, I was also provided with the private keys on sign-up. Furthermore, I never had any issues with the support or the wallet itself. It's one of the online ones I would totally recommend. It also supports Litecoin and Bitcoin Gold or Cash, don't remember which of the two.
I am yet to explore BitGo but i used Xapo and Coinbase in the past when there were literally no transaction charges and i used to enjoy sending coins for free but once they came out with variable fees i just stopped using them altogether but i do use Coinbase as it is convenient now to purchase the coins.

Xapo on the other hand, is lacking support. I haven't used it for years, but when I tried to recover my account, their support was unhelpful. It's been over 10 days and still haven't managed to recover it.
Xapo has the worst support team and it will take a long time to get any response from them and their mobile app is crap as well.
1106  Economy / Speculation / Re: Manipulation of price will decrease soon? on: February 15, 2021, 06:53:37 PM
As long as people can manipulate the market, they will keep on doing that, there is no reason for them to stop. All those tesla deals, grayscale deals, apple news that is yet to be confirmed, all the news you hear about this buying and that selling, everything reflects on the price and I think you will keep seeing that forever.
As long as there is no regulation any huge investor can manipulate the market, even in the stock market there are insider trading and other manipulation that are exposed and the authorities have strict rules and regulation to counter that but in the cryptocurrency market there is no such rules and hence you should expect these big fund houses manipulating the market.

 
Tesla bought bitcoin and Elon talked about how great bitcoin was, do you think that was just coincidence? He manipulated as well and made hundreds of millions of dollars in profit. As long as people can do that, they will do it.
Elon Musk is making some waves in the market for a long time, he was having a good time shilling for Doge for a long time and now when his company invested billions in bitcoin he knew how to make some waves and that made a huge difference in the market.
1107  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you invest in TRC20 tokens on: February 15, 2021, 04:48:55 PM
There are plenty of very promising trc20 token however for me erc20 tokens are more convenient and very accessible token that the token of trc20.
Everyone is migrating from ERC20 tokens because of the higher transaction fees, if you recently transacted anything you will understand the difficulties faced by small time investors as they need to shell out around $40 on average to make a ERC20 transaction, so you cannot call them convenient anymore.

I am yet to search for new projects even though i was very active in the token market during the initial stage and if i find any good project which is promising then i might think about investing.

Should you hodl forever?  Does everyone have a price?  What is yours?   
What is the point on holding onto some investment for a long time without booking the profit, everyone books their profit and it all depends upon how much you are targeting. When i started i used to sell for much lower valuation and if i think about it now i do regret selling huge amount of coins when the price was dirt cheap considering the current valuation.
1109  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will not reach $50,000 on: February 15, 2021, 01:04:03 PM
So now after the pandemic the game has changed and all focused for many big companies is now to include bitcoin in their portfolio if they need to stay ahead and make money from in 2021. So demand will only be growing which mean price will rise and only some correction could come when some big whale sell off their positions.
It is a solid point, the pandemic has changed the dynamics of the cryptocurrency market. The investors who usually invest heavily in other financial markets are investing in the bitcoin market as they are expecting a economic slow down as the markets are forced to shut down and thereby we are seeing a rally in the market.

Right time for Queen to return the Kohinoor as a protest to such treachery act from the Indians.   Wink

I enjoyed English commentators meltdown thoroughly.  Grin Grin
It is a dream if they return the most prestigious gem, no idea whether they took it or got as a gift but the wicket looks like it is prepared for Ashwin as he was able to pick 5 wickets in the first innings and then score a century in the second innings and in the last two days he might even improve his wickets tally and he is the clear man of the match with his allround performance.
1111  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will not reach $50,000 on: February 15, 2021, 11:04:16 AM
Indeed several times Bitcoin tried to reach a price of $ 50k, but failed and now the price of Bitcoin has dropped to a price of $ 47k. But it is too early to conclude that Bitcoin
cannot go to a price of $ 50. Because many institutions have started investing in Bitcoin, should keep the Bitcoin price going up. And the $ 50k
target was hit soon.
It is a huge barrier to overcome and we will see the price crossing that in the near future even though it might take a few months i am expecting the price to rally well above $50k and it is difficult to predict how long the bull market will continue but i am expecting another big rally well past the hurdle before the major correction. 
1112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin before and now on: February 15, 2021, 10:11:21 AM
I think most institution study it and they realize the possibilities and important of blockchain overall.
For most part these institutions are looking at the possibility of making huge profit than any other financial market and they are cashing in on the opportunity rather than looking at the importance of blockchain. We hear about billions invested by multiple financial institutes in recent months and the price has responded and we will see the same response in the market when these huge investors book the profit as well .
1113  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Don't trust web wallets, don't trust exchanges, then where to trade? on: February 14, 2021, 05:10:55 PM
So, how do you trade in these cases? Only p2p exchanges? But it's not flexible and you may miss a good time frames where you could profit 1-2% of your balance.
There are literally no restrictions in trading in reputed exchanges and if you think you trust the exchange then you carry on with your usual business. The only advice anyone sensible would give is not to use web wallets or exchanges to hold the coins for the long term as there are many who does the simple mistake of holding the coins for the long term in exchanges for the ease of trade because of the network congestion.
1114  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will not reach $50,000 on: February 14, 2021, 03:42:25 PM
I realized that the market would be more interesting if bitcoin will not reach $50,000 at this bull run.

Just like the last bull run, bitcoin did not reach $20,000 and the price corrected hard.
So I'm thinking maybe it could happen this time and we will call it " bull run over" while watching the price dump.
It would be great if we see a correction right now but with major investments coming from big companies like Tesla you cannot predict how long the rally goes. I booked some of my profit and i am waiting for the market to go down but i am not sure how long the rally last and it is even possible we could breach the resistance at $50k then we might even go near $70k and that is my expected valuation right now before the correction.
1115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 14, 2021, 08:46:25 AM
Carnage, absolute carnage. They are butchering the visitors, that's not how you treat your guest.

England 8 down and still trailing by 223 runs. What's the follow on requirement? Although i doubt if Virat & co want to bat on 4th inning here.
It is absolutely rude to prepare wickets like this for visitors, England need to score 130 runs to avoid the follow on and considering they already lost 8 wickets for 106 runs they need to somehow manage to score 24 runs but i doubt India will enforce the follow on as it will be difficult to bat in the final two days considering how the pitch is helping the spinners.
1116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is the people or group of people will buy the btc top ? on: February 13, 2021, 09:04:37 PM
But if the btc is. 100k or more whos gona buy it ?
Who we sell it ?
To people who are new in crypto ?

Or pension funds will buy it from us ?
If the price rises to hundred thousand dollars and if there are users willing to purchase then the price will continue stay at those valuation. Do you really care about to whom you are selling your coins in an exchange and why all of a sudden you are curious about who is purchasing when the price touches the all time high valuation. The exchange does have the data on who are purchasing the coins and until they produce the data you can only speculate.
1117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) on: February 13, 2021, 08:02:45 PM
Maybe, Mayweather is also checking the pulse of the boxing fans and looking for which match will give him more money.  Grin The reason why Logan Paul's fight was cancelled because it seems they couldn't get much from that fight. And since Mayweather is up because of the money involved, he scrapped it. So now, he is looking for a potential fight whether exhibition or real fight that will again rake money from the boxing fans. He's just testing waters here for all we know.
This is a method Floyd Mayweather usually does to understand how much money he can make and to understand the public interest for the names thrown by his publicity team and that is how Conor McGregor fight was made as there were much hype and they knew they hit the jackpot at the right time but throwing all these nobodies will not attract any hype until it is the Manny Pacquiao rematch .
1118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Halving , and its Effects on: February 13, 2021, 06:58:41 PM

Halving plays a very important role in bitcoin because during the first and second events the impact can be seen and it increases sharply. now the third halving has been seen from last year bitcoin has reached ATH and people have confidence that this year there will be renewable ATH again, not for bitcoin but all including altcoins that have started to move up .
The price of bitcoin has rallied like we never saw before and the percentage of growth is astounding as it is already trying to break the $50k valuation.
The price of altcoin started rallying as well and some of the coins which i thought were fun ones even showed how much they can rally during a bull run without any fundamental changes especially in doge.
1119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Three Indians arrested over illegal betting in ZACS on: February 13, 2021, 12:54:37 PM
More of an inside job to me.

It's impossible for me that those 3 culprits able to enter the stadium, breached the security and operated their operations.
As far as i understand from reading the statements above they were in the stadium and wagging bets on live matches and not sure how they are caught but it was a great idea as i always thought that the live audience had an advantage if they place a bet in the stadium but taking that kind of risk in a country where gambling is banned is a risk i will not take  Cheesy.

 
1120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New Government Rules Mean No More Gambling Sponsorship on: February 13, 2021, 08:31:03 AM
What are your thoughts on this do you agree with the government or you’re against this proposal, and how do you think that the club owners will react knowing that they’ll have to suffer more financial losses if this is implemented.
It is ridiculous to impose these restrictions but i think these are tactics by the government so that the major advertising gambling companies who are shelling out millions registers in the UK and then they can earn that revenue as well. Other than that not sure what is the purpose of shutting down their revenue stream.

May be it's because the Government thinks that having Jersey's with gambling advertisements will promote gambling sites publicly and may encourage many people to gamble which is why they don't want gambling sponsorships on sport jerseys.
Do the government think that people are that stupid to watch these sponsorship and then starts gambling Roll Eyes.
