  1. You learn and live i guess. I know for a fact that I would have cashed out atleast 60%-70% of the coins and would not have held them. Problem was cashing out in INR that time was a huge issue. There was no platform that would let you convert btc to INR. At that time you had to find Indian buyers through bitcoin forums who were willing to buy and then sell them and hope that they pay you back in return. Everything was shady AF back then.

  2. To be honest Dogecoin was absolutely worthless in 2014, like I had mentioned almost no exchange used to deal with it at that time. Also there were 100+ types of coins then and you had no clue which coin will dissappear and which coin will stay for the long term. 98% of those coins don't even exist anymore. I minned Doge because of all the memes like much wow, to the moon, I found them really funny. To be completely honest in most probability I would have sold almost half of my coins for couple of dollars at that time and would have kept the other half. Though my issue is that I wasn't even allowed to do that. The exchange ran away with my money and like I keep saying it was one of the top 5 biggest exchanges at that time. Even now I see people using all these apps to buy crypto coins which have made buying and selling coins so easy but the fundamental fact still remains there is literally nothing preventing them from stealing your coins and running away. There is no regulation around the same. Most of these exchanges also have transaction charges in case you want to cash out incentivising you too keep your coins with the exchange. The risk is just insanely high around loosing your money. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  3. I think it still holds up fairly well. Definitely the best game From has ever made, better than DS1 for me Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  4. So I see a lot of intrest in people mining and investing in crypto so I thought I would share my story as well. Around 2014-2015 during the first boom of crypto mining I mined Dogecoin because that was the most hip and meme coin at that time. At that time it had no value, I mined like 8-9 lakh coin, I think even more I don't remember the exact value. Dogecoin being a sh*t coin at that time had no value, you had to convert it into bitcoin or litecoin/feathercoin to have any value. Problem was there were barely any exchanges which accepted Dogecoin. During that time the biggest exchange for alt coins was cryptos. To exchange my dogecoin to bitcoin I used that platform. One fine day the owner of the exchange decided to close shop and run away with the coins. I lost all my coins to that a**hole. And mind you this was no shitty shady small time exchange, this was legit the biggest exchange platform at that time maybe in the top 5. I tried everything, could not get my coins back, transaction are irreversible, once the exchange had the coins I could not reverse them. There are no laws or agency preventing these kinds of scams from happening and that day i decided that I would not touch crypto till there are strong measures to regulate it. Don't think the regulation has still happened. There is literally nothing preventing the exchanges of today doing the same thing as what happened to me. The only way to prevent it would be to keep the coin in your personal wallet. But given that most coins are worthless you have to use exchanges to have them converted to bitcoin.

  5. Thank you so very much guys for your inputs, can't thank you enough. Let me speak to the seller and hopefully finalize on the WRV if everything goes alright. Coming from the Tata Nano the WRV is going to be a massive update for us. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  6. Thank you so very much for your inputs guys. Can't thank you enough. I was leaning towards Honda as well since space is very very cramped inside the i20 for me and Honda has the most space in its class but wanted a second opinion as well since I am not a car person which you all confirmed to me. Also between the two Honda i am leaning towards the WRV and as Sach4life suggested I kind of feel it's a better product. My usage is going to be 100% in the city in bumper to bumper traffic or maybe free roads like expressway on the weekends inside the city only so I don't think being underpowered would be a problem. Can i go ahead and freeze on WRV VX model? Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  7. Guys need a final suggestion, which car would you guys suggest between Hyundai Elite i20 & Honda Amaze (Facelift Version) Buying a second hand car and both are roughly the same price. I know both are not in the same segment with one being a premium hatchback and the other being a compact sedan. For i20 I loved the way it looks, the features in the top model is better than Amaze, no engine noise inside the car, better fit and finish but it feels a little cramped to sit inside especially since me and my family are on the healthy side. For Amaze it looks quite simple and the features in the top model seem to be lesser than i20 along with the fit and finish but my god is it spacious, I feel like i can spread my legs so comfortably and the seats itself are also much softer. Plus being Honda there is that reliability factor as well. Space is so good i dont even feel like u am sitting in a sub 4mt car. Which one between the two would you suggest for a good family car in the city? Considering the Manual petrol engine for both. Lastly also have an option for Honda WRV Petrol top model, people say its a very underpowered engine in the wrv but somehow i love that car a lot. Again very very very spacious and feels really big. End of the day you are going to be sitting for long hours especially in traffic so thinking considering the same as a city car i am leaning towards it. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk

    Technically you can play a better version of the original Nintendo games thanks to emulation. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk

    Is twitter melting with this news? Can someone link some salty tweets to read for shits and giggle Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  12. In case someone has not played the forgotten city, please do play it. Its the best story driven game i have ever played. Its absolutely amazing especially if it's kind of free. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  13. Not really, phones assembled in India attract far lower tax and in case google had an assembly line in India like Samsung/Apple they could have benifit from it. Phones going out of stock is very common, xiaomi flash sales is what comes to mind first. And even google has faced this problem if you remember the opening sales of Nexus 4 and 5. They went out of stock immidiately. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  14. Without the physical disk inserted there would be no way to verify game Ownership for physical games. Also just my 2 cents in case you have 30 months gamepass and you anyways plan to get both consoles i would suggest to get the series x now and use it for 30 months and then get the PS5. Hopefully the slim model would also be out by then. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  15. Problem is if it ever launches in India the price would be insane. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  16. While the performance is good I don't see how this will be the end of laptops. 70% of laptops are used for business stuff like excel, powerpoint or casual browsing, email, media consumption. This segment is unaffected by anything that Apple does. The 15% crowd who use gaming laptops won't touch apple because they can't game on it. The pending 15% who use laptop for softwares that make use of the powerful processor would benefit here, ones who use blender, photoshop, maya, DaVinci resolve, coding etc. But this category is definitely not the majority. What will happen most probably is your typical HP, Dell etc also slowly start moving away from intel to Arm based cpu in their laptop which will be far affordable compared to these macs.

  17. Haha, thank you The PS5 needs to be available in the first place to buy it . I will in most probability buy the slim version whenever that comes out, the current model is way too big to fit in the space I have available. I can't compare the two TV because I have not seen them side by side. But I know one thing, for games, once you go VRR you can't go back. You literally can't. Non VRR would feel like Stone Age to you after you have experienced VRR.
  18. I bought it at 25.85 looking at its high dividend numbers but its been all red ever since, my only concern was that even in this insane bull run its in red is making me a little sad. But you are right its a solid company which I can continue to keep holding, don't need the funds now anyways. I usually avoid direct stock picks for this reason because I am usually not that good in terms of evaluating organisations, I think sticking to index MF is much better choice for me.
  19. Haven't done the pre-emi closure yet as the Cashback would happen after 3 months. Should turn out to 1.20 post that hopefully with the CB. OLED masterrace? I actually am a PC gamer hence the TV will be used purely for movies as I have a dedicated 144HZ IPS G-Sync monitor for PC gaming which coincidentally is also from LG. Maybe once the PS-5 is cheaper at the end of its lifecycle I would buy it to test out the gaming features. M current PS-4 can't make any use of the same.
  20. To be honest I could not even find that app in the App Store That channel is LIT AF, when I bought my first 4k TV I used that channel as reference in terms of the picture quality. I had literally downloaded that channels videos to go test out in stores the PQ. Though at the end I bought the VU tv from online based purely on glowing reviews and gut instinct. Now will enjoy these on the OLED.
  21. Hahah thank you, still getting used to it though, there are way too many settings in the TV. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  22. I wanted to test the Dolby Vision feature of the TV. I searched dolby vision and this came up. I then realised this is HDR and not dolby vision as YouTube does not support DV. I tried a F9 DV rip and that did it trigger DV either. I downloaded a DV demo video and that triggered the DV logo. Finding DV rips of movies is very difficult. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  23. Finally gave in and bought an OLED, LG C1 55 Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  24. So it's finally here. Installed and ready to go. PQ is absolutely insane, it being a working day I haven't played around with the settings yet but even in default it looks quite good. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  25. IRCTC is reaching the moon while my IRFC is still in the red even in a bull run. Should I cut my losses and exit? It shows almost 0 movement ever. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
