^^ I am glad to see that some of these players who were retired a decade ago are keeping their fitness level, i was expecting a normal tournament in the beginning but some are dominating especially Kevin Pietersen and if Andrew Flintoff was also in the team they would have won the entire tournament as they both can smash any of these bowlers out of the park as they are really fit and can smash the ball a long way.

I do not think that Liverpool will wake up even today, i am not expecting much goals today and the best option is under goals and i would go as far to bet on Wolverhampton double chance to win rather than going for Liverpool  . The reason for my pick is Wolverhampton is on a good streak and the only loss in recent times is against City and we all know Liverpool is struggling and the fans are disappointing as well but with so many injuries whats more to expect.

Ronda Rousey and his team knows how to hype a fighter and Edmen Shahbazyan was the victim in this situation, he was a good prospect but was thrown to the top of the fight card too soon and it is a gamble the UFC took as they give opportunities for young prospects and even Jon Jones was in the same situation when he ran with it and he turned out to be the best fighter in history. Kevin Holland came into my limelight when i started seeing him the fight card too often last year and then started following him as he fought 5 times last year and won every fight in impressive fashion.

So does that mean that the shitty government will come out with a bunch of centralized cryptocurrencies created as per your term invented (a mere copy using a open source code)  . I have no idea about the internal politics but i understand that they ruling party is a right wing organization who are notorious for creating community violence and the minority are harassed.

What i cannot understand is that, are these official government publications about it publishing these or just rumors spreading in the social media as we are seeing these threads for months.

If you did any meaningful research for real you need to publish all the research papers so that everyone could verify what you are talking about. There are 195 countries and which government ban could affect the price and what is the price variance you are talking about with each government ban from one country to the other and what calculation methods you used  .

Hope you understand the difference between research and search .

That is wonderful news, we are waiting for the stake banner to appear inside the Octagon and i am really proud as a fan of the sport to see a Stake banner.

Israel Adesanya always liked challenges and he has done that in the past in Kick Boxing where he moved up to Heavy Weight division and had some splendid performances and he had his first loss in Kick Boxing in the Heavy Weight division. He does not care about padding his record and we should appreciate his mentality and pushing his limits.

The 3x return was a great deal and Israel Adesanya was a huge favorite because majority thought it was an easy fight for him, the only reason i had my doubts and waged a bet on the underdog is because of the ground game of Jan Błachowicz and in the stand up it was close until the fight went to the ground.

The dangers of this way of convincing is that it looks like a typical ponzi and you cannot convince anyone by saying that the price would rise on a daily basis and how they will convince during a bear market. The only way to convince anyone is to explain about how the financial system works and the difference between centralized and decentralized currency and touch upon market recession and inflation citing examples of different countries and if the other person has any idea about economics then it would be easier if not it is a big hurdle to make them understand.

We are hearing conflicting news regarding this every week and as @bryant.coleman mentioned there are many threads here discussing about it and one think i understood is that India is not a good country to invest as you will stay in the grey as you will not have any clarity regarding your business and as per the recent comment regarding the ban it is said that they are planning to give 6 months time to liquidate and they are criminalizing holding cryptocurrency which is crazy.

Lasith Malinga is still playing but only in the T20 version of the game and he might be looking to play till the world cup and then announce his retirement and he is 37 years old and even if he is in the team now he is not the same bowler he once was. Sri Lanka needs to find young talents and they need to find good bowlers, if not they will be struggling like they are in the past few years after the retirement of their well accomplished players.

That is a valid point, the team chasing has won on both occasions and if they are playing in the same stadium then i might place a bet on the chasing team as England chased the score even though it was small without much trouble and today India chased it easily.

Is the T20 World cup still on, if that is the case then this is a warm up match for them and IPL is just an icing on the cake to test new players and India is experiment with the team and a win made the series more interesting and i hope England will bounce back as they have a really good T20 team and with the defeat in the Test series they will be looking to win the T20 series.

What kind of new gloves you are proposing, they cannot have a glove that will restrict their movements as grappling and ground game is involved and if they already had some innovated gloves then they should introduce them as the eyes of Belal Muhammad looked nasty as if someone shot him in the eye.

Next week we have Kevin Holland and Derek Brunson in the main event, do you think it will have he same fate of a no contest . My bet is on Kevin Holland but lets see whether it will be a no contest or disqualification .

Rashid Khan was not in the team in the first Test and they lost the match and it was not even a tight contest and if PSL messed things up with the pandemic protocol then Rashid Khan will be playing for the franchise T20 league and Afghanistan would have lost the match and the series to Zimbabwe. I do think that Zimbabwe was really unlucky that the PSL was stopped midway and so is the reason Rashid Khan is back in the team  .

The price of bitcoin rallied from $10k a few months back and it is now holding above $60k which is an insane rally and there are investment coming in even at this price, i was expecting a correction a long time back but it is hard to understand how long these institutional investors keeps on pumping money in it and if they think that they wants to dump everything after the price doubles from this valuation then you might even see those valuation in this rally.

Even if you are looking for long term investment then you should wait for a correction rather than investing at this price.

It is kind of funny if you look at the market as a whole, one or the other hype pops up and many will join that bandwagon for a long time until that fades away. I have no idea about the DeFi market because i never cared about jumping into it but i have seen many making huge profits without doing literally anything and now the NFT hype because we saw some millions of dollars worth of digital art being purchased.

Since everyone had their opinions on both directions, we cannot expect any government to stop the entire network altogether, if US tries to stop the network then expect countries like Russia, Iran and even North Korea will allow a free ride for everything cryptocurrency related and they can even provide the space for miners and it is impossible to force any country to shut that down unless they start a war because they allow bitcoin mining  .

We are a decade strong and even if any country wants to restrict or ban it is impossible.

We can say that bitcoin is a safe heaven when there is an economic crisis as i am not comfortable or confident enough to invest at this price, i do have one question to you, do you have the confidence and hedge your life savings in bitcoin at this price if you think that inflation will consume the market. I did invest in bitcoin when the price was pennies considering the price now and i was confident at that price but not anymore and these institutional investors who are investing heavily now can book their profit whenever they want and we cannot predict when that would be.

In short we cannot assume how the market will react and as long as these huge investments are coming in the market will rally and the moment they book the profit we will have the same conversation regarding bear trap  .

I missed the fights altogether but placed the bets a few days back and the only loss was Misha Cirkunov as i had no idea about Ryan Spann as i do not remember seeing his fight and Dan Ige was the only win i got and the main event was a bummer and stats does not matter in MMA, in boxing we have an idea on the fight will go and only few matches will be difficult to predict but in MMA everything is unpredictable

It is fine to make changes but if you are a betting on the match and if the best team is not available it might cause some problems with the outcome of the match, Rohit Sharma is not in the team and i placed a bet on India and then found out they are still experimenting with the team and not a good time to place a bet on the match.

A couple of wickets and i still think England could pull a win in the match even though they failed to score above 180 which i was expecting and i am not familiar with the rest of the batting lineup even though have seen some of them play in the IPL.

England had a pretty decent start and i have a doubt regarding the Indian team, i remember Ashwin known as a T20 specialist in the beginning of his career and why is he not in the team. There are new players in the Indian team and it is confusing sometime to follow all these changes. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is back in the team but what happened to Jasprit Bumrah and why is he not in the team.

There might be multiple reasons, in the past our forum is the main platform to advertise a project and now there are other platforms and social media is their preferred option and the main reason for that is that if there is a ANN thread and if it is fishy there are people who will call out their bluff and then there are projects who does not need further promotion and can raise money without posting here.
