Most of my targets are much lower, so in case BTC reaches $1 million per coin, then I will be left with only around 10% of my current stash. Here are my major targets - $100,000, $250,000, $500,000 and $1 million. Once the exchange rate reaches these targets, I will sell a part of my coins. But these are not set in stone. Because before selling the coins, I need to take in to account the tax implications as well. So dumping everything at once is out of the equation.

Jadeja on his part, has played continuously for CSK ever since 2012 (with the exception of a two-year break when CSK was suspended). This is one of the advantages of CSK, as they have several players who are playing for them for almost a decade (MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Faf du Plessis and Dwayne Bravo are others). When half of the team is playing together for almost a decade, that helps with the team bonding and cohesiveness. But it also means that when someone is unavailable for a season, it becomes very difficult to replace that player (like what happened in 2020, when Raina was not available).

Sinovac is really useless. There are rumors that they manipulated the clinical trials, in order to achieve the minimum (50%) efficacy needed for approval (Sinovac claims to have an efficacy of 50.4%). Countries such as Hungary, Serbia and Chile have primarily used Sinovac vaccine to inoculate their populations. But in none of these countries, a noticeable reduction in the number of new infections is being noticed (despite vaccinating close to half of the population in each case).

Not a bad strategy at all, if you ask me. I just checked the NASDAQ website and the P/E for Coinbase stands at 180.21. At this level, the stock definitely looks overpriced (although we have stocks such as Tesla, which have P/E as high as 1,000). Also considering the number of stocks he own, the 749,999 figure mentioned here represents just a small fraction. It is not going to change the share holding pattern in a major way.

Too early to talk about the Ethereum gas prices. For now, they have gone back to $5-$6 per transaction range, but you never know when it will shoot up again. But ideally that should not have much an impact on the other alts. Times have changed and Ethereum no longer has the monopoly among the altcoins it once enjoyed. Nowadays we have a number of established altcoins with good volumes, such as Polkadot, Cardano, Chainlink and Binance Coin.

I don't really care about XRP, because I don't even consider it to be a pure cryptocurrency. With almost 100% premine and almost complete centralization, Ripple has more similarity with fiat currency, when compared to other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. Now coming to Ripple's issues with the SEC, I don't think that it is a very good idea from their part to openly challenge the authorities. Previously also we have seen a few projects committing this mistake. And we all know what happened to them after that.

Dogecoin itself was created by those who hated Bitcoin, in order to mock the entire idea of cryptocurrency. That's why I find it so ironic that so many of the "cryptocurrency" users have a positive view about Dogecoin. Either they are unaware of its history, or they are simply blinded by greed. IMO, Doegecoin is like the sword of Damocles that hang over the head of every cryptocurrency user. No one knows when it will act as a trojan to destroy the entire cryptocurrency sector.

The problem in India is that they don't want freelancers to receive their income in the form of cryptocurrency from abroad. There are so many taxes and other formalities on running ITES services in India and almost 80% of the payment gets eaten up by taxes and duties. Now the freelancers don't need to pay any of these taxes and that is the reason why the government is not comfortable with the idea. According to the government regulations, Indian individuals are prohibited from directly working for foreign employers, unless they have the license for the same.

I was just watching the over with awe. Jadeja just single handedly destroyed the RCB bowling. As you mentioned, all the sixes were hit towards the same direction. Perhaps this is an indication towards the immaturity shown by Harshal Patel. He could have changed his angle by going round the wicket. Rather than angling in towards the body, he could have bowled wider. In the end, CSK got to 191/4, when I was expecting them to end up with 160-170.

The biggest advantage with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash is that they are decentralized. That means that you are able to store money on your own. But that is not the case with USDT. With Tether, the Bitfinex exchange is holding your money and you are being issued a token which establishes ownership to the funds. Now the drawback here is that the tokens can be stolen from your account, and at the same time they can become worthless if the Bitfinex exchange goes down.

Nowadays it is widely agreed that Bitcoin is not very suitable for making small payments. But that said, the fee levels have come down drastically during the last 2-3 days. Now it is possible to get a confirmation in 2-3 hours, if you pay a fee of around $1 (~20 Sat/Byte). That makes sense, if your total amount is $20 or higher. But if you want to pay for a coffee or a burger, then I would recommend you to use an altcoin, such as Litecoin or Bitcoin Cash. BTW, don't try lower fee, if you don't have a lot of patience. For me, I am willing to wait for 3-4 hours to get a confirmation to my transaciton. But I understand that many of the users are not comfortable with waiting for so long. 

I am sorry to say this, but Monero is a failed coin. There are multiple reasons for this, such as security bugs and liquidity issues. But it has lost is prominence in the altcoin sector and nowadays it is largely being viewed as a coin which is sliding towards its eventual death. The biggest drawback for Monero is that cryptocurrency sector itself is now trying to get regulatory acceptance. And the authorities are extremely hostile to Monero and it has zero chance of getting that acceptance. And this would mean that more and more users and exchanges would distance themselves from XMR. The future looks bleak.

This is not an issue that popped up all of a sudden, right? During the last 4-5 years, brief periods with very high fees have occurred a lot of times. Most of the experienced users will be having strategies to deal with it, and mostly it will be the less experienced users who will be having issues now. There are several options. If you can't wait for one or two weeks, then either you can use an altcoin such as BCH or use the second layer with Lightning.

Sad to see a prestigious event such as Oscar now purely becoming a political event. The award for the best actress should be given to the individual who had given the best performance. I am not a big fan of either Viola Davis or Andra Day, but I will be having no issue if they are being given the award on the basis of performance. But here this entire award ceremony is being relegated to a joke, and the winners are decided on the basis of political preference and not on the basis of their acting skills. 

I would stay away from the NFTs like plague. It is the next overhyped application in cryptocurrency market, after ICO, IEO and DeFi. The valuations are just crazy and they doesn't make any sense. Since they are hyperinflated, I don't think that there is much room for appreciation now. Also, with the current setup, NFTs are not viable. They went up by too much, too fast. And that too before taking care of the basic issues. Right now investing in NFT sector is like a lottery, since no one really knows in which direction it will ultimately go. 

If this is true, then I am happy for the bounty hunters. Many of the bounty campaigns went unpaid in 2019 and 2020. With the altcoin market undergoing a bull rally, I guess the projects can now afford to pay the hunters handsomely. But still I would urge caution in selecting the new campaigns. Go for trusted campaign managers, and always go for the campaigns that last for 4 weeks or less. A good project doesn't need a bounty campaign of more than 4 weeks to advertise itself.

Logistics is a problem because the mRNA vaccines need deep-freezing. The vaccine from Pfizer/BioNTech needs to be stored at −70ºC. The Sputnik V vaccine also needs to be stored at -18ºC. The developing nations may be having the facilities to store the vaccine at such low temperatures, but we can't expect the poorer nations to have tens of thousands of such deep-freezers. And it's not just storing. Transporting the vaccine at such low temperatures can also be a problem.

I was going through all the four matches at the same time. The test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka is ongoing, and at the same time there are three T20 matches being broadcast on TV (IPL match between Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad, T20Is between Pakistan and Zimbabwe, and Netherlands and Malaysia). Bangladesh are now in very strong position, and I guess they will be able to make somewhere around 450-500, if their middle order doesn't collapse. Najmul Hossain Shanto got his first test hundred today.

LOL.. Punjab Kings are in all sorts of trouble and I really doubt whether they will be able to make a total of 120 today. Right now they are 118/9 with just 4 more balls to go. The combination of Rashid Khan/Abhishek Sharma/Bhuvneshwar Kumar/Khaleel Ahmed destroyed Punjab and only Mayank Agarwal and Shahrukh Khan could score above 20. For Punjab, their biggest problem remains the weak middle order. When KL Rahul and Mayank get out early, they doesn't manage to get to decent totals.

Football fans are going to regret about this in the future. If the ESL was allowed to operate, then it had the potential to grow as the largest sports league in the world, in terms of viewership and money. A lot many of those who opposed the ESL are purely emotionally driven and they don't want to think about the merits from such a championship. The UEFA Champions League has failed on multiple fronts and ESL would have emerged as a better alternative. Anyway, now we are back to ground zero.
