1401  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why are there so many coins and the reason why some developers failed on: February 27, 2022, 07:20:46 PM
~
Most developers have only one vision which is making money that is why many coins doesn't grow and they failed because they didn't see the vision ahead.
It is an open market where everyone can raise money to start a project and it is difficult to monitor what a project does after raising the money, majority of the projects does spend time in creating a good white paper to get the initial momentum but fail to convert that into useful product and that is a real concern we have seen throughout the years.

One thing that needs to change is, if anyone raise money they need to comply with the promise to the investors, if not they should be liable to return the funds and if that happens we might see a drastic change in scams and shitcoins.

Give your opinion on how this situation can make it even more difficult to determine which donations actually reach the Ukrainian people in the right way? while a verified account is always used as a reference, but other than that it will also backfire if you are not careful.
BTCitcoin is a great tool to send donations in volatile situations like these but what i have heard is that people are not able to withdraw funds from banks nor from ATM and i am curious how these funds will be used for the benefit of the citizens. I am happy to donate but how these funds will be used should be transparent and glad to see that they are able to raise huge funds in a short period and if they start accepting cryptocurrency for everyday use then it would be great.

Sanju Samson promoted above the order still, he was not able to perform as thought seeing his performance in the second T20 match. Shreyas Iyer again trying to deliver what has been excepted from him. I am pretty much sure India will be able to win this match and this series will be again a whitewash.
Shreyas Iyer was consistent throughout this tournament and he is yet to be dismissed in this series with 57 not out followed by 74 not out and today 73 not out and he is the sole player who took the game away from Sri Lanka in all of the three matches. Sanju Samson was promoted today as an opener and yet he was not able to deliver and he needs to focus on consistency if he wants a chance again as the competition is really tough.

I think that New Zealand made a good comeback from the situation that they were in in the second test. From 91 for 5, they scored 293 for 10. If they can bowl out South Africa for cheap on the fourth day I think they have a chance of winning.
It was a good recovery, 133 runs for the 6th wicket by Daryl Mitchell and Colin de Grandhomme is the reason they are right back in this match. South Africa is leading by 211 runs and they still have 5 wickets in hand and they need one solid partnership to be in a safe position if not New Zealand will bounce back and will win the match as there is plenty of time left for this match.

The surprise return of Khabib Nurmagomedov vs GSP may be real in the game but it doesn't happen in the real world, I have just seen Khabib Nurmagomedov standing in the octagon during Islam makhachev victory in the fight match with Bobby Green, even though he is positioned as coach and team but his presence on broadcast UFC PPV has excited the fan community.
Khabib Nurmagomedov had a presence in the cage when he was cornering Islam Makhachev and yes i would love to see him fight again because i am a huge fan of Khabib Nurmagomedov and he never disappointed me from his first fight in the UFC and wagged a lot of bet even though the moneyline odds are not great whenever he fights as he will be a lopsided favorite. But to expect him to return is just a dream, he moved on to become a fight promoter, coach and a businessman and you will not see him fighting in a cage again.


The ease with which Islam Makhachev won the fight is incredible and it was expected but not this fast, the surprise of this fight card was Wellington Turman winning against Misha Cirkunov in the second round after getting a beating in the first round.

On to the next event which is the grudge match everyone is waiting to see  Smiley.

Ethernity Chain is a project i am following and their project plan is huge they released authentic NFT Bruce Lee, Messi, Luka Modrić , Shaq, Pelle, Dak Prescott & Zeke Elliott and many others and they keep on launching interesting ones and most of the aNFT can be used in the metaverse. Then another project is Terra Virtua Kolect which focus on movies and books NFT which is an interesting concept and those are underrated as well as it is not reflecting in their token price.

In the long run projects that have a use case where the NFT can be used in the metaverse will survive and i still consider this as the initial steps and in the next 5 years we might see a completely different landscape.

That's true, living the luxury life and then going bankrupt because of not being wise. It's easy to have that feeling from rags to riches than riches to rags. The adjustment is difficult on that part because you'll have no longer access to the luxurious way of living. Well, it's becoming a thing now if the topic is about Tyson because of his past. But regardless of that, the man has been able to do that. And hopefully, for most of the sports associations, if they're seeing an athlete that's soaring on their career, they should teach them basic financial education. Because it's likely that they really are hardworking as an athlete yet they lack financial knowledge that will be vital for their future even if they run into a successful career.
One of the major reasons is rags to riches and they wanted to enjoy everything that they lost growing up and they spend more money on that aspect to live a luxurious life rather than looking ahead. I have heard stories about Mike Tyson during his prime, when he meets ladies in bar he would take them to luxurious showrooms and ask them to select exotic cars as gifts, he lived a life of luxury and then had to file for bankruptcy. Similar stories can be heard about Andy Ruiz Jr after winning the fight against Anthony Joshua he spent most of his money purchasing exotic cars.

Associations will not help the athlete and will not help them in any way. The individual has to take steps on how to deal with fame and fortune much before he gets to that place and only that can help them.

How is China playing this?

As you can see, China is nothing but happy about this, as they are watching two potential enemies erode themselves and testing their strength. Lots of lessons will be learnt on the handling of this crisis and I would not say that Europe and Democracies are playing a great role in terms of intimidation, yet at least is managing to stay reasonably united.
China is supporting Russia in this encounter and they are the biggest importers of oil and natural resources from Russia and they have a good relationship, even today during United Nations Security Council China, India and the United Arab Emirates were absent from voting against Russia.

I am not sure whether China is having any other motive but one thing is clear is that US will talk a big game plan if Russia is to invade and yet they will not do anything. To be frank i never expected this invasion and how this will end is to be seen.

New Zealand have managed to withstand the situation with the performance of Colin de Grandhomme and daryl mitchell. If one of the wicket falls, South Africa will try to end the innings within 200. The interesting thing, Colin de Grandhomme have scored the 54 runs in 61 balls with 7 fours and 2 sixes. I think he's playing to make a better score before losing his wicket.
Colin de Grandhomme is playing like he is playing a ODI with a higher strike rate and Daryl Mitchell is playing a good supporting role and now they have reduced the deficiency to less than 151 runs, i did not expect this performance in the 6th wicket but now they are counter attacking and South Africa has to come up with something to break this partnership, if not New Zealand will run away with this match.

Few years back these both countries were ruling in Field hockey as both were playing against each other but as they stop now both are out and down but still not understanding mean all is now down and out for personal ego.
It was a fact that India and Pakistan had some of the best Hockey players in the world Shahbaz Ahmed, Sohail Abbas and Hassan Sardar from Pakistan where Sohail Abbas was a goal scoring machine and from India Dhanraj Pillay and then the legend himself Dhyan Chand who is globally considered as the greatest Hockey player of all time.

The reason the sport of Hockey is dying is because India and Pakistan consider Cricket as the greatest sport rejecting all other sports and i bet none of the present generation might not know these legendary players i mentioned nor wanted to emulate them and when the Hockey rules were formed India nor Pakistan had a say on the global rules and India and Pakistan players played in grass fields and now the match is conducted in astroturf and hence European and Australia are ruling the Hockey field after that switch.

Stage is perfectly set up by SL batsmen and now it's responsibility of bowlers to take SL home. Win Probability is INDIA 28.01% • SL 71.99%. India have lost both openers but important thing is Shreyas Iyer is still on the crease with 48 runs. India need 93 runs on 54 balls and the game is very much on.
Sri Lanka posted a really good total and they even picked the wicket of Rohit Sharma initially but Shreyas Iyer played an incredible innings and he is still in the crease and it looks like he will guide India to victory. Sanju Samson played a good knock but lost his wicket throwing his bat well outside off to an incredible catch. Only picking up wickets can put pressure on India but their fielding is not promising, if not they will easily win the match.
1412  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin failed to fulfill the purpose it was created for ? on: February 25, 2022, 11:49:13 PM
We all know that bitcoin is the king and father of all digital assets. Bitcoin was created for 2 purposes.
1. To be an alternative to fiat currency.
2. Stay free from govt control.
There was a narrative created by the users and not by Satoshi himself. Satoshi was not happy with Wikileaks accepting BTCitcoin when other payment systems were rejecting them from accepting user funds and you think he was against the government or trying to avoid attention if they start accepting BTCitcoin payment. BTCitcoin is an alternative but you cannot expect it is a replacement to fiat. The government can control over third party providers and exchanges but not have complete control over the BTCitcoin network.

I disagree though, I'm a bearish person this year, but what we have seen today, the growth itself, convince me that the price could touch $40k again, it's just a question of time. I think the relative strength of bitcoin could settle around $43'ish and that is the price that we could see bitcoin stablised for this year and not below it.
I am also expecting a huge correction this year and the market turning bearish but when the Russia Ukraine war started, the market started dropping drastically but i was skeptical because i was expecting everyone to move their assets to safer ones like BTCitcoin when you are under attack and that is what happened as the market recovered quickly after a sharp decline. Global situation will determine when we will have a major correction.

I'm right here, Argument with my mate about the current invasion by Russia in Ukraine.
He just told me countries make money from war, could it be the journalist alone ? Government who please, I'm juvenile at this.
Yes the media goes to a frenzy because they can report the content 24x7 and they can make a lot of money if they could attract users with their war contents and even people who do not watch television normally would tune into to see the updates of a war and thereby getting more advertisement and the weapons manufacturers are the other sector that is going to make a lot of money during situations like this. US is supply Ukraine with weapons and this boost their sales. War is always about strategic positioning and profit making.

BCCI and Indian government never allowed Pakistani players to be participated in IPL because they all know about this and sentiment in India against Pakistan is very high right now under Modi regime even now if these lost election then still there is no way for this due to hate which recently too much spread by religious peoples across the subcontinent and other thing is in India they believe if Pakistan is going to have any profit or good result just because of India never do this, so we all watch what happen in first edition of IPL when many Pakistani players were on high and steal this show from this day they feel its never been good, so they ban Pakistani Players from participating into this event, and now it's never going to happen positive in next few decades.
The reasons are twisted here, Pakistan players participated in the IPL during the initial tournament and when the Mumbai terror attack happened these sanctions came into place, if the Pakistan government was willing to weed out the terrorist i am sure there wont be any sanctions but they never took the responsibility of the attack when it was evident that the attack was carried out from Pakistan.

To say that the players are not included because they performed well is not the truth, Mumbai attack the aftermath is the reason for not allowing Pakistan players in the IPL and the cricket ties between India and Pakistan became standstill after that.

I missed the match between India and Sri Lanka and i was waiting to place a bet after the start of the match but i missed them completely and India won the match easily.
You should have placed a bet well before the match, Sri Lanka is having a weak team and even the young players playing for India could change the match as these players are waiting for a chance to play in the playing eleven and when they get the opportunity they make sure they will make an impact as the competition is really high and that is what these young players are doing.

Obviously it does not happen to everyone but it happens to a great deal of players, for example on the NFL the average length of a player's career is something like 4 or 5 years, so even if they are paid good money for their services this means that at some point they need to find another way to earn a living, and it is incredibly difficult to believe they are going to find another job that pays so well, so the majority of the players end up broke at some point during their lives.
Obviously this is a sad part for majority of the sportsman, if they are not smart to invest in something that could earn them a living during their prime playing time then they will suffer when their career ends, once they reach the level of luxury it will be hard for them to live a normal life and usually their wealth runs out faster than they think and ends up filing for bankruptcy.

174 runs partnership for 7 wickets is never been easy for any team especially when you have very young players on the crease, but today they have done this and Afghanistan is surely feeling worst ever after losing this first match from this point because this is a big defeat with having such a good performance in the start.
I did not expect this turnaround when they lost the 6th wicket as i was expecting Afghanistan to win the match when Bangladesh lost their 6th wicket but then Afghanistan lost the plot completely as Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan Miraz played their innings of their life time to take Bangladesh home and it is a great comeback victory for them and will cherish for a long time.

There are shilling services and alike that are specifically built for these scammers. They can obviously avail it if they have lots of money. If an investor is really afraid, they shouldn't be on that place. If they are afraid they should only invest on projects that already have a working product.
All the things you said are true, mostly all of them assign shills to advertise the project. All of the projects make use of these shills, if not how come projects like Shiba and other meme coins that had a huge hype was able to attract investors. Most of the projects are following the same route to get the project to the masses, either they do airdrops or promotions and you cannot complain them. But you need to check out the team and the project feasibility before investing.
