One thing I don't understand is why everyone here in Bitcointalk is giving so much importance to Warren Buffet. Is it because he hates Bitcoin so much? We  Bitcoiners have a tendency to ignore those who support us, and give importance to those who hate us. And this is exactly what is happening with Warren Buffet. His hatred towards Bitcoin is simply irrational and results from the fact that he couldn't digest the fact that an asset which he derided has become so successful. Common Bitcoiners, please be aware of your strengths. We have a combined market cap of $2.2 trillion, which is more than 4 times higher than that of Berkshire Hathaway. Don't tarnish the reputation of the cryptocurrency sector by begging in front of Buffet.

In most of these Arab nations, the ruling monarchies are divided into two camps. One camp want to modernize these countries and make them more liberal. The second camp wants status quo, and want the conservative religious laws to remain as such. UAE seems to be favoring modernization, while other countries such as Kuwait still seems to be under the control of the conservatives. But if you want to visit a casino, then I would advise you to travel to Macau or Mexico, rather than traveling to the middle east.

High transaction fee has been a major issue in the cryptocurrency sector and experienced users know how to deal with it. The problem is that noobs always whine about it without reading the posts here. Durations of high fees seldom lasts more than two weeks. And due to the algorithm used in adjusting the mining difficulty, a two week low-fee period immediately follows this high-fee duration. If you want to pay less fee, then you should take use of this opportunity to merge your smaller outputs. It definitely takes less time than what is required to make a post here in this forum.

They fired David Warner and made Kane Williamson the captain. First of all, they need to understand that the problem lies with the team composition. Their middle order and pace bowling lineups are in very poor shape and that is the reason why they are losing matches. Now blaming David Warner for these defeats serve no purpose. They are sticking with the same pace bowling lineup, despite repeated failures. Rather than including Mohammad Nabi, they should have gone for Mujeeb Ur Rahman for this match. Also, Basil Thampi deserves a chance in the place of Sandeep Sharma or Khaleel Ahmed.

If that is the case, then I have another question. Elon Musk once claimed that he owns only 0.25 BTC, which he received as a gift from his friend. Has his holdings increased recently, or is he still owning just 0.25 BTC? It looks like Musk doesn't own any significant quantities of Bitcoin, so the topic of him selling his coins never arise in the first place. And also, as far as I understand, Elon is not required to reveal his individual holdings of cryptocurrency. He may need to mention about it in his income tax return, but then those returns are confidential.

That's not true. Elon Musk has tweeted a few times about Dogecoin, but the Doge whales have taken his tweets out of context and used it for price manipulation. That said, Elon should take some of the blame and I am not exactly sure why the SEC is treating him with kid gloves. The whales have started to convert their Doge to USD or BTC, and eventually the inexperienced investors who make the late entry will be stuck with this shitcoin.

I always go for the coins with the most advanced technology, but then I have to admit that it doesn't work always. Lately, the cryptocurrency market seems to be working solely based on hype. If you ask me, cryptos such as Cardano and NEO have the best technology and I would readily invest in them. But I am getting perplexed, when I see shitcoins such as XRP and DOGE giving a higher return compared to these technologically advanced coins. Perhaps these things don't matter in a bull market.

It was a noble initiative from Sachin, but my opinion is that it is the duty of the government to provide healthcare and it should not depend on any of the celebrities. These people are already paying 43% of their income as tax, and my opinion is that it will be wrong to overburden them even more. Only around 2% of the Indian population pays any income tax and they have the massive burden to support the remaining 98%. Now Indians should make sure that this 2% is not pushed to the brink. IMO, the rich farmers who earn millions in income, but doesn't pay any income tax (farmers are exempted from income tax in India) should contribute a part of their income. For cricketers, it should be optional.

Talking about one-sided matches, a simple majority of the one-sided matches in the ODI world cup involved two test-playing nations. If you don't want any one-sided matches, then you need to restrict the world cup to a 4-team or 5-team event. Big 3 + New Zealand can be given automatic qualification, and one team can be selected from the remainder. But even then there will be a chance for a one-sided match. And the real reason why ICC reduced the number of teams was due the debacle in 2007, when both India and Pakistan were kicked out by non-test playing nations in the group stage.

Thunderstorms are forecasted for tomorrow at Kandy, so if Bangladesh bats sensibly tomorrow, then they will have a chance to draw this match. But they will have zero chance if 90 overs of play is possible tomorrow. Liton Das is batting along with Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and both are very good batsmen capable of surviving for 40-50 overs. Given the weather forecast for tomorrow, that should be enough to hold Sri Lanka to a draw.

During the last 100-120 years, the purchasing power of gold has increased at a steady rate (despite the temporary ups and downs), and I expect this pattern to continue for the near future. The current dip in gold prices is due to holders of gold selling their coins and jewellery, due to difficult economic conditions resulting from the pandemic. IMO, this is a temporary phenomenon and the uptick should continue once the pandemic is contained. And that makes it difficult for cryptocurrency to overtake gold.

Bitcoin dominance of less than 50% means that we are entering the overhyped territory in cryptocurrency market. Given the current user base, adoption and acceptance, the fair market share expectation for Bitcoin should be around 80%, and that for altcoins should be around 20%. The current spike in altcoins is caused purely as a result of speculation. Because of the hype, many of the useless shitcoins are also having valuations of tens of billions of USD, which is not sustainable in the long run.

These are "old" coins? LOL.. When I saw the topic, I was thinking that the OP may be referring about the earliest altcoins, such as Litecoin, Namecoin.etc. EOS is not that old. It was first released in January 2018, after the major altcoin rally of 2017. And once upon a time, it ranked among the top-10 coins in Coinmarketcap. But now it has fallen outside the top-25 list and seems to be on the decline. The same can be said about most of the other coins mentioned by the OP, such as Dash and Zcash.

They can give one or two chances to Saha and see how it goes. Another option is Mohammad Nabi, but he is in poor form right now. Apart from these two, they don't have any players who can play a long innings in the middle order. Vijay Shankar is good for nothing, and Abdul Samad is more suitable for short bursts in the last 2-3 overs. Another option is Priyam Garg, but he doesn't have much experience in the middle order. Virat Singh was given a few chances, but he failed in all of them. 

OK.. so Indians will be saved from death if they throw away their idols and abandon their religion (which is said to be the oldest religion in the earth), and then convert to Christianity. In that case I have a question? Why so many people are dying in the Christian countries? The last time I checked, Italy's death rate from CoVID 19 stands at 2,000 per million (when compared to 147 for India). The same for Brazil is 1,863 per million. Out of the 30 countries with the highest mortality from CoVID 19, all except Bosnia are having a Christian majority. Jesus forgot to save these people?

It's not just Elon Musk. Obviously Elon's tweets might have caused pumps on multiple occasions, but there are other whales who are manipulating the prices. And it is quite easy to manipulate this coin, because of its limited liquidity. A few big investors who accumulated Doge during the bearish phases of 2018-19 are now trying to profit out from this coin. But I have no doubt that if the market crashes sometime in the near future, then Dogecoin will be almost worthless.

Fees is important, but other issues such as speed of transactions and security is important as well. And I would say that BSC is clearly superior to Ethereum in all these aspects. Ethereum is still dominating the smart contract sector because it was the first cryptocurrency to have such a speciality. And that is the reason why it has a larger market cap when compared to technologically advanced cryptos such as Cardano and Polkadot. But now for the past 5-6 months, the ERC transactions are being plagued by extremely high fee levels. A lot of projects are now considering to migrate to other chains, and BSC looks like a very attractive option.

Rahane is not really T20 material and although Hetmeyer produced a really good performance in the last match, he is not in his best form. IMO, Delhi Capitals are struggling due to the absence of Shreyas Iyer. They are still unable to fill the vacuum created due to his absence. Steven Smith is now batting at no.3 for Delhi Capitals, and he is OK as far as performance is concerned, but his strike rate is a bit lower than what is optimal. 

Developing nations need loans and help from the richer nations and that is what China is doing now. And no one does anything for free, and it is applicable for the Western nations as well. When countries such as US and UK give out loans to poorer nations, they keep even more exploitative terms and conditions. Well.. these days they are not doing that, because they no longer have any surplus cash. Poorer countries in Africa and Asia view Chinese projects as mutually beneficial. The Chinese are helping them with large-scale infrastructure projects, which would otherwise be impossible to complete by these countries.

Not really surprised with this news. Those who have been around here may remember about what happened to Bestmixer.io. The operators were arrested and jailed for aiding money laundering and other criminal activity. The authorities can never be comfortable with any sort of Bitcoin mixing mechanism. It goes diametrically against their goal of tracking each and every financial transaction in this planet. Anyway, I would say that it is good that for now they are concentrating on the mixers. But I am afraid that they will go after the Dex sites, once they are done with the mixers. And the mainstream exchanges may be next.
