Because, it's never been easy to play against team like India and having target like this then still losing by just four runs I am still had butterflies in my head what the hell we have in today match which was playing between India and Ireland just because of this thrill I am really love in this format and now looking to ICC they bring some more excitement with giving more chances to these teams for having more competitions against top ranked teams.
India is experimenting with the team and it was a really close match and for a moment i thought Ireland is going to win the match because George Dockrell took Ireland back in the team with his power hitting and with the small grounds it was easier to clear the boundary easily but he was not able to cope with the pace of Umran Malik who bowled the last over. But when he bowled a no ball i thought they will win the match but nerves got the better for Ireland.

We all have a very good idea now that ICC is anything but honest. They are always going to look for profits instead of thinking about what is best for cricket in the long run. And that is happening because of some corrupt authority personnel in the ICC. Everyone should have a problem if a national team is made out of a hundred percent foreign players. Here we are talking about how to fix this situation and meanwhile, we have more teams like that about to take part in the next World Cup. It feels as if ICC is actually encouraging this type of behavior or should I say “Business Policy.” This needs to be stopped ASAP.
I am not sure why ICC alone is a corrupt one because they are allowing countries to add foreign players in their team. It is a global governing body for cricket and they want to see the game grow and reducing the number of countries who are allowing foreign players will not help developing the game.

It is not a business policy by the ICC but if a respective Cricket board selects players who are migrants, what is wrong in that. The general claim here in the forum is that, there must be a quota system. Let the respective Cricket board gets the authority to select the best team possible and not enforce these quota system.

Do you think the government of Macau made the right decision or they are very desperate not to shut down the casino operations
because they need their economy going.
The selective enforcement is going on for a while and people will start protesting if the government starts these selective enforcement of things. In the past the same happened in the US and the business owners started to protest and i am expecting all the business owners who were forced to shut their business in the name of pandemic will be protesting for selective enforcement.

With this format ODI could be died, and we will be able to have only these two formats which are good enough for staying in good shape Test matches and T-10 hopefully someone will give his own comments about this as well.
I am really happy to see T 10 as an entertainer as all the bowlers are taken for granted and the batsman keeps swinging the bat but i do not think that all the major teams will be taking on that. T20 is the best format for everyone who do not have time to enjoy the match, i do not want to see matches getting shorter and International teams playing that as it will be really hard to predict any matches.

India won the first match against Ireland pretty easily even though the match was reduced to 12 overs a side and this is the trend i am expecting in this series, unless Ireland proves otherwise Grin.

All five of the largest publicly traded crypto mining companies say they are building or already operating plants powered by renewable energy, and industry executives have started arguing that demand from crypto miners will create opportunities for wind and solar companies to open facilities of their own.  

the worldwide Bitcoin mining sector is being powered by an estimated 58.5 per cent renewable energy by the fourth quarter of 2021.  Its now very clear that Bitcoiners are now more environmntal friendly than EU.
I will not be claiming that Bitcoiners are protecting the environment, but it is a fact that the blame of exploiting the nature is tagged upon the BTCitcoin community for a while even though majority of the big miners are using renewable energy and it is sad to see that we still have a tag and gets blamed. 

EU nations has to find a renewable energy source and majority of the countries should follow Iceland as they have the highest share of renewable energy in Europe and hopefully we will stop hearing the blame game in the future.

The BCB is a cricket board rich enough. Yet they are failing to improve their cricket. This is definitely a failure of the management. To improve the Test format, Bangladesh should now organize Test series with weaker teams. Afghanistan is stronger than Bangladesh in the Test format. Bangladesh will not be able to win with Afghanistan. They should play against teams like Ireland and the Netherlands.
Organizing matches with weaker teams will not improve the performance of a team so that it will continue even when they face tough competition. Having a tournament with weak teams means the players can improve their averages and score some big runs but that will not help the team even in the short term against better teams. Find young talents groom them and that is how you improve the format and be a better team.  
1087  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price Can Fail and Will Touch Be US $ 13k Dollar? on: June 26, 2022, 11:50:37 AM
Veteran analyst and senior trader, Peter Brandt, has accurately predicted a drop in the price of Ether (ETH), to US$1,200, when the price was still around US$1,800.
Of course, this led his Twitter followers to glance at his predictions on the price of Bitcoin (BTC), which he sees has the potential to fall even deeper, to $13,000.
In a bear market he is making his predictions and you do not need him to understand if the current support level would not stand, the price would fall further, but it is impossible to say exactly on when that would happen but you can always speculate in context of the overall economic situation if there is a economic crisis it is possible that we would see the market going down further.

The next bullrun probably won't come until 2024 at the earliest. Look at the last bull run, it was in 2017, the next one was in 2021. Perhaps there is a pattern to this. Also, the U.S. Fed intends to keep inflation in check until 2023 (roughly), which is also a disincentive to large-scale growth because there is no proper liquidity provision. It is possible that a completely new scenario with unique timeframes awaits us, but I still prefer to prepare for the worst, so there will be less disappointment from unfulfilled hopes and more preparation for long-term drawdowns.
In normal circumstances we are expecting the market rally after the next halving but you got a point here, global financial situations might be a factor during the next halving and it is possible that we might see a new pattern considering how the market went down drastically whenever interest rate were increased, right now we can only speculate on the situation and hope for the best.

Kids in Russia or France won't have any interest in cricket, when they see a bunch of Indians and Pakistanis wearing the jersey of Russian or French national teams and competing in tournaments. In order to attract native players, you need to have natives in the squad.
To attract players from countries Cricket is not that popular, stacking a team with native players will not make any difference, the payment and the amount of money they can make playing the game throughout their career will make a huge difference. It is all about the incentives and the efforts of the respective board that makes the difference.

Forming national cricket teams entirely of foreigners may enable the ICC to claim that they have 100 or 120 members, but it does a lot of damage to popularity of the game. I don't want to comment on duration anymore. Now we have the T10 format, which gets completed in around 1.5 hours.
ICC cannot do much even in this aspect, if all the countries can stack foreign players then they would have done that already just like UAE and other GCC countries, the respective Cricket boards takes those decisions and not the ICC. ICC only facilitate the matches and encourage the boards to be proactive and find talents the rest are the responsibility of their national cricket boards.

Anyway they won the series,  they needed it badly and finally it's good to see that spectators gave a standing ovation to Australian team for visiting them, such a nice gesture.
After the first ODI where Australia defeated Sri Lanka in the rain affected match even if the score was challenging i expected the series to be one sided but Sri Lanka really surprised me from the second ODI onwards, defending a really low total and then chasing a challenging total in the third ODI and yet again defending a modest total in the 4th ODI and winning the series and i lost a lot of money in this series underestimating Sri Lanka  Cry.

Bangladesh team has been able to improve a lot in ODIs. Maybe if they can go this way or they can win the ODI World Cup

Bitcoin Purchase Timeline of El Salvador

After a buying spree, El Salvador is now holding 2301 BTC at a $45,900 avg. price

The country's Bitcoin investment is underwater.
I am not a huge fan of those investment from El Salvador who is actually struggling financially and looking at the way he invested recently, it was a bold move as he was fiddling with tax payers money and not from his pocket. That being said, you can only say that their investment is underwater if they are forced to sell now to cover their budget, if not it is a wise investment in the long term.

Can Bitcoin cash reach 2000$ in 2026 like I see now?
I see in the site coinriders that it may reach 2000$ in 2026 if you compare amazon expected growth per years to bitcoin cash expected growth.
What makes you think that Bitcoin Cash can grow to $2000 in 2026 and what is the correlation between amazon's expected growth per year and Bitcoin cash. I am not following their development and so does majority of the users here, so if you think there is something that will change their fortunes, i would like to hear from you on why you think it will grow after the next BTCitcoin rally  Grin.

I thought that initially; that Neil has good striking, and could potentially do some damage. Then, I reviewed some tape, and he leaves himself horribly open at times. Think he might get slept.
I am a big fan of Shavkat Rakhmonov as he is moving up the rankings without much hype but he is a killer with the fights i have seen till now and
Neil Magny is a huge test for him. The eventual fight up we might be seeing is Shavkat Rakhmonov and Khamzat Chimaev with their undefeated streak on the line and this is the scenario i am dreaming to see with belt on the line as both are all rounded fighters who refuse to loose Grin.
1094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul v Tommy Fury / Amanda Serrano co-main event in August on: June 25, 2022, 06:53:54 PM

I'd imagine Jake won't be fighting anyone big less he likely would have announced it already and done his own fight. Maybe he's combining it with Amanda so it's not a flop. I'd be very surprised if he fights anyone notable, especially someone like Tommy Fury, unless he's worried that not many people will be interested without another headline act like Serrano. I really think he should have tried to set that fight up as it's a logical step up for him and gets him the cred of actually fighting a boxer.
Jake Paul is supposed to fight Tommy Fury in this event and we all know that he pulled out of the event one time and that is being expected here as well as Jake Paul and even uncle Chael Sonnen predicted that Tommy Fury will pull out of the event citing some injuries and hence may be Jake Paul is mocking him with the poster and i really wanted to see that fight happen rather than any other short term replacement.

~
 If Jake has a decent performance who knows where he will go after this fight but if he wins it wouldn't surprise me if his next fight is against someone like McGregor.
McGregor is too small for Jake Paul and i would not want to see that mismatch and Jake Paul would easily win that fight as he will be dragged to the later rounds and finish him there.

Binance is announcing an exclusive, multi-year NFT partnership with Portuguese footballing legend Cristiano Ronaldo. Through this partnership, Binance will launch a global promotion aiming to give Ronaldo’s fans an introduction to Web3 with a compelling entry point into the world of NFTs.

Over the course of the agreement, Binance and Cristiano Ronaldo will create a series of NFT collections for sale exclusively on the Binance NFT platform.
That is a really great move by Binance, as everyone is expecting that to happen since Messi already launched his NFT with Ethernity and Cristiano Ronaldo were waiting for his NFT for a long time and i expected a competition between platforms to get him sign with them and it was Binance that was finally able to do that, Messi NFT was a huge success and it sold out in record time and i am expecting the same with Cristiano Ronaldo.

If these both play like this for some more overs than surely England are going to take lead, and they can go for whitewash because they already settle their collapse which is amazing fight back from these both for their team and this can turn tables into their favor without any problem.
It was an incredible comeback and i did not expect them to be hanging in there like that after loosing 6 wickets for just 55 runs and then to make a comeback from Jonny Bairstow who is playing like he is in a ODI game with a strike rate of above 100 and Jamie Overton making his debut and then contributing with his bat in a crucial situation is outstanding.

England only trail by 65 runs and they will be taking the lead unless New Zealand will be able to break the partnership in the morning session.


West Indies once again won the toss and put Bangladesh to bat first and it looks like they are repeating the same performance as the last match as they already lost 6 wickets for 138 runs.
1097  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador loses more than half the value of its reserves in bitcoins on: June 19, 2022, 08:27:23 PM
$50 million is really a small sum for any country, even as small as El Salvador. If they had 10% or higher of their foreign currency in Bitcoin, this would be a problem. I'm actually surprised that despite all the Bitcoin maximalism rhetoric, El Salvador didn't go as much all in on Bitcoin as Microstrategy did.
We need to understand that El Salvador invested over $100 million in BTCitcoin and the public demonstration and rallies against them was a global news for a while, he is investing public funds in a highly volatile market and that is problem his opposition have about him with his investment and now the entire valuation is half of that which is not a great sign as he wont be the president till the next rally for misappropriating public funds.
1098  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Doge coin in trouble? on: June 19, 2022, 07:54:24 PM
It's not a pyramid scheme but basically sometime people were accusing elon for pumping doge coin and they can't even prove it. I meant this accusation will be coming once crypto enter into the bearish market. People are being frustated to see their portfolios are nothing from day to the another day.
These days sentiment is so unpredictable and that's why some people became even so mad caused by that. They were starting to think about various theories that were not even true story.
Those people are so mad
There is no denying that Elon Musk created the hype all around Dogecoin and the entire meme coins started to rally because of the hype created by Elon Musk through his social media page and hence meme coins like Shiba Inu came into existence and there were many who entered the market simply because of the hype created by him, but to blame him for the loss is ridiculous as i cannot find any tweet that says to invest in it even though he was hyping them.

The match was over for Bangladesh after they failed miserably in there first innings. Its very difficult to make a come back once you are out on 103 runs. West Indies is not very strong test team these days but still Bangladesh failed to perform good against them. Don't know when we start seeing improvement in Bangladesh test performance.
Bangladesh does have a solid team if they are playing at home but while touring they seems to struggle and if they won the toss then i believe that the situation would have been different considering how West Indies struggles in the longer format against quality bowling. It was an easy win for West Indies in the first Test but i expect Bangladesh to bounce back and perform better in the later part of the series.

The host shared his skepticism regarding Bitcoin reversing and starting to go up. He mentioned that recent appearances of Galaxy Digital's Mike Novogratz and MicroStrategy's CEO Michael Saylor on CNBC earlier this week were "a stand show."
It is a fact that Mike Novogratz and Michael Saylor along with El Salvador president Nayib Bukele has to showcase a positive frame of mind because they all invested other people's money into BTCitcoin and with the market bleeding to these levels, they need to show their positive mindset to everyone to save face.

That being said, i am not sure how low the market would go but one thing is certain that the price would rally, the only positive aspect is that to wait for the next halving and the price would rally without a shadow of doubt irrespective of how low the price will go.
