West Indies are going to lose today's match as usual. Although the target was only 270 runs. West Indies lost the first wicket by just 25 runs. They lost two wickets in a row for 52 runs and the West Indies collected 69/4 in 15.1 overs. Since they have lost four wickets for just 69 runs, I do not see any chance of West Indies winning this match. Like the second match, West Indies will lose very badly today.
West Indies still needs to get 179 runs from 28 overs but they already lost 4 wickets which means their top order players are back in the pavilion and it is a hard task to chase this total. I did not expect Pakistan to score 269 runs, all credits to Shadab Khan who played an incredible innings as they lost their 7th wicket for 217 runs and Shadab Khan took the team to a respectable total.

Jiri Prochazka vs Glover Teixeira - Insane Fight of the Night! I'm very shocked that Glover Teixeira dominated Jiri in the very first two rounds. He missed two very crucial chances to TKO Jiri for an unnecessary submission attempt. Anyways, congratulations for the both of them displaying a bloodbath fight and sportsmanship. I don't want to see a rematch for this fight, obviously Jiri will win because of the age gap and it's a big factor. If Glover Teixeira was in his 30's probably either of them will sleep on the canvas.
It was a great fight and i was rooting for Glover Teixeira but he gassed out and surprisingly Jiri Prochazka was able to stop him on the ground, i was expecting the opposite and there were many opportunities for Glover Teixeira to win the fight on the feet as well but he always go for the take down and gassed himself out

Valentina Shevchenko vs Talia Santos - A controversial decision need a rematch.  
I need to watch the fight once again, Talia Santos had control in the ground but when it comes to strikes Valentina Shevchenko was far ahead in the scorecard and that is why the judges scored like that. It was a competitive fight for Valentina Shevchenko after a very long time and a rematch would be great.

As we all know the SEC so far was established for checkmating exchange activities be it Fiat or crypto currency but it's current outburst on crypto currencies and projects is unbecoming. Now I ask to what extent has the SEC really contributed to the improvement of the blockchain industry over the years past. Recently, binance is under investigation only God knows what the outcome would look like. I need you honest opinion.
History says that Binance would run if there is any investigation against them by closing down the office in that country and move to other location and as long as there is safe heaven they will be doing this and unless you are willing to comply with the regulators you can run a business and SEC and other regulatory bodies will be behind every exchanges and they will be under scrutiny if they are not following the rules.

Bilateral cricket is about to fuck up in international cricket (rightly so, except test cricket), at least in the biggest market. According to some reliable journalists IPL media rights auction already crossed the base amount (it's only for A+B category) and it's kinda 2 days affair.
I read an article regarding this today, the battle between the richest people in the world for the IPL media rights to get the bragging rights and possible exposure for their media platforms, Mukesh Ambani and Jeff Bezos to battle for the bid and then there is Disney who is sending their top executives for the media rights and it is going to be a record breaking event as per experts in the article i read  Cheesy. Good time for the BCCI when there are battles for the media rights as they are the ultimate winners  Grin.

And openers Fakhar Zaman and Imam ul Haq are playing really well both have completed fifty partnership.
Imam-ul-Haq is continuing with his form and he scored another half century and his last five innings scores are 103, 106, 89 not out, 65, 72 and he might score a century this time and Babar Azam was unfortunately dismissed for a single run and these two players were the main stay for Pakistan for the past two series and even with some of the players rested, i do not think West Indies will win the match.

Yeah.. watching on SONY LIV as of now.. both the batsmen look very comfortable against the pace of Southee and Boult. And New Zealand don't have a spinner for this match, after replacing Ajaz Patel with Matt Henry. Joe Root is yet to bat and there is a good chance that England will bat for all the three sessions of play today. If that is the case, then I don't think that it will be possible to get an outcome other than draw for this match. Not much in this pitch for the pacers and the spinners (Leach and Root) didn't received any assistance either.
They should have included someone that could spin the ball in wickets like these and somehow Matt Henry managed to break the partnership as Alex Lees edges one in the slips and Joe Root is now in the crease and on papers England have a great batting line up with Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow and Ben Foakes yet to come out to bat and if they are able to perform then the match would end up in a draw.

Well, I am more excited for the young guy than old man Glover Teixeira, and this is going to be natural action, Glover Teixeira would need to be very agile against Prochazka and getting him pin down for Grappling, but Prochazka having good takedown defense I really doubted that, it could end up while standing,
I am rooting for Glover Teixeira to win the fight, if he can take the fight to the ground then he will be able to control the fight and win by submission and that is what i am expecting. Jiri Prochazka is a good striker and if Glover Teixeira can handle the first few minutes of the fight as i am expecting a flurry of combinations from Jiri Prochazka then he is going to win the fight.

Taila Santos is going to be a good challenge for Valentina Shevchenko but not expecting any upset.
1128  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will LUNA's downfall scare away investors from the crypto market? on: June 11, 2022, 10:22:50 PM
There is definitely a perception out there right now that 95% of the coins out there are just a white paper and "team", plus some bad copy and paste code, with nothing tangible or worthwhile backing them. At least Bitcoin, Ethereum and a few others are actually used in commerce. Similar to the great Altcoin collapse of 2013 when the vast majority lost 98% of their value. Some of these coins honestly have even less going for them than say a Feathercoin or Sexcoin particularly all the truly asinine attempts to use a blockchain where decentralization is not needed and there are vastly better solution to the same problem; i.e. all the "web 3.0" garbage.
You have a point here and it is a fact that majority of the projects in this space are simply pump and dump and are here for the developers to make money when the market is fairly new and that is why we see more tokens and projects popping up on a regular basis and for a while the Luna debacle will scare away investors especially new ones who lost a large sum of money and then there are many who lost every profit they made during the rally this time around and what i found interesting is that there is a serious thought about how trustable these stable currencies are.

England was able to collect 90 runs at the end of the second day thanks to the extraordinary pairing of Alex Lee and Ollie Pope. They are playing well enough. My guess is that England will be able to easily cross the 553-run target and the match will be a draw.
After the first wicket England was able to build up a partnership and it looks like the pitch is not offering anything for the bowlers and there are bets coming in for a draw, but i still believe it is too early to predict that as there is plenty of time remaining in this match, i am expecting the pitch to slow down considerably in the final two days and the match depends upon how England will be able to score in their first innings.

The petty traders I meant are  hawker stall, street vendors, street hawkers, market men and women, kiosks that do daily trading often.
If you can convince them that they will be getting a substantial amount of transaction in cryptocurrency per day then i bet they will change their mind in accepting them. Fact is that it is impossible to expect street vendors getting a substantial amount of transaction in cryptocurrency and hence they would not want to add anything out of their comfort zone.

Do you think countries worldwide will ban Bitcoin mining due to environmental concerns? If not, why? If mining is banned, do you think Bitcoin will switch to PoS? Will it still survive being a PoW cryptocurrency? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Smiley
There will be countries that will be banning BTCitcoin mining in the name of environmental concerns but you cannot expect there will be a global ban on these aspect as there will be countries that will be taking up the opportunity to welcome miners. BTCitcoin will be a POW cryptocurrency and that is how it should be in the future as well. POS has its drawbacks as it will power the centralized investors and in due time the community will understand them Wink.

Guys what's the real reason behind the relish of Litecoin from Korean exchanges like Upbit and Bithumb? I am sure most have heard about this news already but cant figure out the real reason behind the delisting.
I was not aware of the Mimblewimble Extension Blocks upgrade thereby upgrading the privacy for Litecoin and it is not a huge surprise that certain exchanges are delisting those privacy centric coins because for those exchanges to follow the government rules and regulation they will be forced to delist privacy centric coins and that is what we are seeing with the current delisting.

The Australians are definitely targeting a 3-0 victory over Sri Lanka. This time around, Australia wins the toss and decides to bat first! It's a good decision since this will allow them to know how a score is set up when it's ready. They aim to give a decent score-line with their current run rate of almost 8 per over. Sri Lanka is struggling in cricket, so I don't expect anything remarkable from them.
Australia is going for the white wash and they are in a strong position right now with 4 overs to spare and it depends upon how Steven Smith and Marcus Stoinis score the boundaries with ease and they will be setting up a total above 170 runs and with the weak batting line up Sri Lanka has right now, it is a total they can defend easily. But personally i want to see Sri Lanka win the match.
1134  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel when the market is downtrend? on: June 10, 2022, 08:24:11 PM
The bear market is not the end but the beginning of a new and better start, the bear market is a measure of our confidence in the market. Worthy rewards will only come to those who truly believe in the market.
You can be optimistic about your investment but you cannot expect the market to rally all the time, expect the market to undergo correction and if you are smart enough you book your profit and wait for the market to stabilize and enter again. We have seen how the market behaves after every rally and hence it is not a big purchase with the bear market and if you believe the market you always know that it will always recover.

If yes, then be prepared to support him as Bitcoin gradually moves to 50,000 from now onwards, but if you don't support or your answer is no, Bitcoin/crypto could remain stagnant below 40,000.
I really cannot understand this statement. To support whom so that the price would rally. You do not need an external voice to know that the price of BTCitcoin would rally, but you cannot find someone who could accurately predict the daily movements in any market, all you can have is some basic assumptions and that anyone who is involved in the market for a few years would understand.

I am not expecting any radical movement in the next two years and i am patient enough to wait till the next halving for the rally to start once again Tongue.

The current Indian squad lacks quality bowlers across all formats and the same applies to South Africa too. India clearly missed someone like Bumrah who is a game-changing bowler.

On the other hand, both teams have some amazing batsmen which doesn't really require a lot of improvement. I don't think either of these teams will win the upcoming T-20 World Cup.
The team that played South Africa is not having a great bowling strength to play in South Africa but when it comes to World Cup matches,  the team changes completely with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami back in the team and they have other bowlers that are yet to debut which i have high hopes to perform in South African pitches and i am expecting a good outing in the upcoming World Cup from India and South Africa.
1137  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: NFT Play To Earn can make 50x - 100x? on: June 05, 2022, 08:17:23 PM

The Play-to-Earn model has shown itself to be another fleeting trend in the industry. Now these games, p2e tokens are going to zero, and there is almost no trace of the former hype and number of active community. Now the crypto industry is trying to find new trends like move-2-earn, learn-2-earn, etc. The problem of all these models in general, and p2e model in particular, is that users see in it only speculative component, like in most altcoins, and until tokens find utilitarian application and become in demand not only as a tool for speculation, we will see rapid rise and fall of both individual projects and whole business models.
Like you mentioned, the market is looking for more trends to continue the hype, last time it was DeFi and NFT and it will continue like that with P2E tokens and the metaverse and there are many who are waiting to see the promises unfolding when they launch the Metaverse and i am only expecting a few good projects that will survive till the next rally. My expectation is that many Web 3.0 related projects will pop up during the next rally.

Why do people rather go in projects already up x2000 instead of going in early projects that will still go x2000?
There is a reason for that, you cannot trust majority of the projects and what they will fulfil. The team will raise money and there is no monitoring system in place to check whether they are working on something they promised and it is always a gamble to invest in any new projects but that is not the case with established ones and even though the profit percentage is low, they can handle them.

Let's not focus much on this match. When you win so many matches, losing a single match is not a big deal. We have won the series and that is more important for us. Smiley

Congraulations to the Team Srilanka on winning this match and also for visiting Pakistan for this series. 
Loosing and winning are part of the game and tonight it was Sri Lanka's day and only two players scored the bulk of runs for them, Chamari Athapaththu their captain scored a century and they managed to score 260 runs and i expected Pakistan to challenge the score considering how well they played but Sri Lanka was able to pick wickets at the right time.
1140  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dealing with ISP block on Gambling websites on: June 05, 2022, 07:33:21 PM
Hello there,
I tried accessing TrustDice today, which is one of the first cryptocurrency casino's I've been introduced into, but it wouldn't load, claiming that "Connection is not private". I thought something was fishy at the moment, but quickly realized that it was actually blocked by my ISP.
If i am facing the same situation, i would purchase a dedicated IP to access to these websites rather than using dynamic IPs because you never know when the gambling website is going to shut their doors on you claiming suspicious activity usually when you win something big. So in order to avoid that, either purchase a VPN that provides dedicated IP.
