They announced the Connor has entered the building.  The wait will soon be over.  Win or lose, I'm hoping we see a good fight.  I very much prefer seeing him box instead of wrestle.  Would love to see a knock out.  Enjoy the fight everyone!
It will be a great fight, it will be a stand up fight for most part and Conor McGregor have a pretty good take down defense and Dustin  Poirier also prefers to stand up until the fight goes to the ground and he has some great submission skills. I placed a bet on the two underdogs, i picked Michael Chandler and Dustin Poirier in parlay and lets see how that will go. Just two more fights to go and it will be a test for Michael Chandler to prove his worth and i am expecting a wrestling based fight plan to counter Hooker.

Australian's want to fight back after very poor display against India at home South African record in Pakistan is good currently Pakistani team facing some serious troubles so I am feeling this could be interesting series any one can win here.
If Australia wants to stay alive in the Test Championships then they need to white wash South Africa and there are some permutations and combinations as well, England needs to be dominated by India and it is expected like that and with all these aspects in place and if they still have the confidence to improve and win then it will be great.

But probably only a few celebrities actually know or understand bitcoin as a digital currency.
You cannot underestimate all the celebrities as there are some smart people as well. There might be some that cannot understand about bitcoin but if you remember Snoop Dogg was accepting bitcoin back in the day and there are several other who made investment in bitcoin including sports personalities including Lionel Messi and Floyd Mayweather.

Why the future generations don`t get any rewards?
What kind of design is this satoshi? to enslave the future of humanity?
I cannot understand the problem with what is written in stone. The rewards were implemented to attract the early miners and by the time all the coins are mined the miners will earn the mining fees. When you start mining bitcoin you know the facts about the profit you can make and you only mine if you think it is feasible for you, there is no point in crying about it.

We have our own opinion on this matter. And seems that the OP is lost or something. Bitcoin, in particular, is more than a decade in the market. And now, he will say such thing not to stay long. Why? The foundation is going stronger each day. And now that more institutions are believing the capability of bitcoin, why stop now?
Everyone has their opinion and if the OP thinks that the price of bitcoin has a ceiling limit then it is his decision of choice to book his profit and everyone does that at one point in time to reap the profits. There is a point in statement, many governments around the globe are planning to implement some sort of regulation in the cryptocurrency market and if these regulation will deter the institutional investors then they might book their profits before those laws are implemented and that will take the market down.

There are many users that invested in XRP in the past expecting the market to rally when the altcoin season starts and it is true that there were many speculation and paid advertisement from the XRP to pump the price and many institutional investment firms had a huge quantity of coins in their holdings but once the lawsuit news came out they will try to bail out without taking much damage.

Its look like now time for Sri Lanka to do better then first test as this is good ground for them and they can built very good total with the help of Mathews and Dickwella if these both stays for some more time then surely they are going to be in front as Galle is never been good for England going under runs of 350+ is also very bad for them but still its just first day we have to watch for some more time how they play after winning first test very good.
Sri Lanka is playing in their turf and they need to perform better against the visiting team, Mathews is playing a long innings and if the rest of the team members are able to build a good partnership around him then they will be able to post a good total on the board. I am not familiar with the bowlers but if they are having quality spinners then they can trouble the England players as batting in the final day in Sri Lanka wont be easy.

And India has managed to achieve this, despite the poor quality of their domestic cricket structure. And it looks like IPL has become the most important avenue for the younger Indian players, rather than Ranji Trophy.
Not aware of their domestic set up but the praises Dravid got was about grooming the youngsters and that is not the IPL but the under 19 and other younger generation of players. The exposure in the IPL will help these players as they are sharing the dressing room with international players as well.

Forgot the Rahul Tewatia magic and there were some impressive performance and wins as well.
Rahul Tewatia batted at lower order and he didn't got much opportunities to prove his batting capabilities. But whenever he got a chance, he made the most use out of it. But IPL 2020 was extremely disappointing for the Rajasthan Royals, as they finished rock bottom of the points table. Even the CSK managed to finish ahead of them despite the horrible start they had.
Looking at the points table Rajasthan Royals is at the bottom, but this is the most competitive season as far i know about IPL and if you looking at the winning table CSK and KXIP won the same amount of games while KKR, RCB and SRH won one more match than the bottom Rajasthan Royals. The team management should be scrutinized for not picking the best team even though they had the talents and not giving the players the opportunity and holding players down the order.

Our goody good boy Dravid is playing long game for right reasons and winning hearts and minds of new crop by nurturing them. Gill, Pant, Prithvi, Vihari, Mavi, Nagarkoti, Sunder and every new player love/respect Dravid. Once the new generation replace the old guard Virat & co then you could imagine what's going to happen.
There are heaps of praises for Dravid from former players and the way in which the young players took over and played without fear and it shows the bench strength which is scary for many teams as majority of the teams will struggle if they need to replace one or two players and India won the series even though they had to replace almost the entire team and five players making their debut for India and still winning the series is unheard to be frank and all the credits to nurturing youngsters .
1211  Economy / Economics / Re: Vaccination Started in India | Impact over Indian Economy & World? on: January 21, 2021, 08:18:50 PM
Indians have finally made it through successful vaccination campaign and 0.12 million dosage are already dispatched throughout local region.
The amount dispatched and the amount of population does not make sense, as far as i understand they have over a billion population and how long it will take to vaccinate everyone is not a small task either.

What do you guys think about India and it’s economy ? Whether they will have advantage over other nations in grabbing more economic throughput due to vaccination??
The economic situation depends upon the policies the government proposes and they the reports even before the pandemic was not that great and with a complete lockdown for months will take the economic growth further down and vaccination alone will not save the economy.
1212  Economy / Economics / Re: Miami mayor considers investing in bitcoin with public funds on: January 21, 2021, 05:31:33 PM
i'm not sure how serious he is, but the mayor of miami (12th largest city in the USA) just said in an interview with FOX business that they are considering a direct investment in bitcoins
Is it even possible to invest the public funds to a decentralized market and that too in a market that has too much volatility. I have no idea about the legality surrounding it but it just looks like a publicity stunt as you cannot mess around with public funds as far as i know.
The market is soaring at an all time high and if he invest despite all the odds and the market goes down what will be his back up plan, wait until the market recovers Grin.
1213  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coin I should investmen with 5k dollars? on: January 21, 2021, 11:40:13 AM
I have 5k dollars, you think i should investment any altcoin.
I would stay away from investing now as you cannot predict where the market goes when all the coins already touched their all time high valuation. If you are planning to invest there is a certain level of risk and today we saw a decent correction but even still i am not too confident to invest in the market as i will wait for a major correction to invest again.
1214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: January 21, 2021, 09:53:31 AM
Rahane was informed even before the 4th test that he would be the captain only on a temporary basis. I agree that his captaincy was exceptional, but then Virat Kohli would simply refuse to depart with his position as the captain of the squad. And it will be wrong to make Rahane the permanent captain after just one series, although I would favor giving him more chances.
To tell you the fact, i never considered Kohli as a tactical captain, he has the aggression but that alone will not win you matches, you need to be a tactical captain to win matches in difficult situation. MSD was a tactical captain in the shorter format but he applied the same in Test and so he was not that successful in the later part of his captaincy. Kohli is leading RCB and even if they have a strong team i have never seen the team performing to their strength.

This is the first time i am seeing Rahane captaining a side and to win a series in Australia with a completely young team says a lot about his captaining skills and that too after getting humiliated and getting bowled out for just 36 runs with Kohli as the captain in the first match and to recover and Rahane leading from the front and scoring that century and then winning the series is outstanding.
1215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: January 21, 2021, 05:08:34 AM
This was expected. Steve Smith was disappointing for RR, in terms of both captaincy and batting. Anyway, his T20 record is not as great as his test record. Last time, they purchased him for such a huge amount but he failed to deliver what was expected from him.
I thought Smith is let go because of the controversy he created during the recent Test series as images were shown repeatedly that he removed the batting guard of Pant. RR started well and they had some impressive wins but failed to capitalize in important matches.

Apart from Sanju Samson, none of the other RR batsmen were impressive during the last tournament. RR may be looking to replace Smith with someone from West Indies or South Africa.
Forgot the Rahul Tewatia magic and there were some impressive performance and wins as well.
1216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: January 20, 2021, 10:03:03 PM
Keeping Kohli as the captain for the ODI/T20I teams and making Rahane the captain of the test squad would be the best decision. But then, this is going to make Kohli and Shastri angry, as test format is considered as more important than ODI/T20I. Next test series for India is against England at home. It will be interesting to know who will lead the Indian team for this series.
I did not expect this turn around from India and you need to give all the credits to Ajinkya Rahane for taking a second string of players and motivating them and then able to extract the best performance from all the news players, in my opinion Ajinkya Rahane should be the captain as he proved his mettle as a captain but i am not expecting Kohli to hand over the captaincy but he will be under scrutiny in all of the upcoming series and if they under perform as a team he will be replaced.
1217  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Serious question, what cause the altseason? Human greed or bitcoin whales? on: January 18, 2021, 09:13:17 PM
Lot of people think that altseason is something psychological that happens cyclically due to the greed of humans who want to get rich and see bitcoin as an overgrown phenomenon.
If you are interpreting things like this, then the entire market is flourishing because of the greed of humans. Every business development and every business expansion is due to greed Tongue. The simple reason why there is an altcoin season is simply because investments are coming into the market.

In that case, what do you think is the role of bitcoin whales?
In the past anyone who mined the coins where considered whales and as time progress the narrative will change as well.
1218  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Survey: 25% of crypto users not securing assets as well as they think on: January 18, 2021, 07:26:27 PM
They conducted the survey from 1400 users and there will be bounty hunters as well or casual users but any seriously investor will be taking care of their investment and most probably secure their assets. Majority of the claim is that they are holding the coins in exchanges which is the stupidest thing i have heard because every year you hear about exchange hacks and still everyone is willing to hold the coins in third part wallets Roll Eyes.
1219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Paquiao VS Connor McGreggor? on: January 18, 2021, 05:52:43 PM
~
They probably both realized there’s no point in fighting with each other. They only get more money working together.
If Conor McGregor is active then it will be good for the UFC as well as they can make a massive profit for the year and they can recover the loss they encountered last year and hence it is not a big surprise.

I wouldn’t worry too much about Paquiao’s political commitments. I doubt either of the fighters would be properly training or would take the fight seriously.
If you remember he Floyd Mayweather fight, Floyd was smart enough to put the fight together fast, they had a meeting and then signed the contract on May and the fight happened in August giving Conor just two months to make a debut in boxing and that too against the best defensive boxer. It was a tactical ploy from Mayweather but Manny paquiao will not pull those things and they will have a serious bout, because if Manny Paquiao losses to a fighter who is fighting is second professional bout who was defeated by Mayweather it will dent his reputation and Conor will work hard to regain his status.
1220  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did you bought the dip? on: January 18, 2021, 04:57:29 PM
from now no one knows how much the deepest price of bitcoin, all people said I will buy on dip but they don't know when?.
That is a fact, once the price touched $42k you never know what the future holds and when we will see a correction considering the global financial situation and with institutional investors pouring in their money you cannot predict when they will be dumping the coins.
I am not confident enough to invest right now, i have the patience to wait till we see a major correction.
