I'll also be opening a video channel for sports and prediction market especially for Cricket. Would love to see some cricket prediction market on predyx.
Wow! You won't believe, I'm originally from India. Cricket is in our blood. I grew up playing Cricket in the back alleys and breaking the windows of our neighbors lol, and stealing Guavas and Mangoes from their yards.
So that being said, not trying to boast or something, but we will probably have the biggest Cricket sports market on Predyx. Please give us 3-4 weeks, maybe a little more for Cricket as getting the data is super complex due all the ICC restrictions etc.
BTW, I grew up rooting for Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev. Gavaskar was my favorite batsman and Kapil Dev was my favorite bowler.

Sorry got carried away with Cricket and childhood memories! Forgot to ask you: How can I get in touch with you to discuss the video channel and potential sponsorship?

Great to know! Yours and mine have so much common. I just grew up rooting for Tendulkar and Dravid. A little younger than you, may be. Stealing those fruits from the yards have been like my birth right. However, we also had our own mango gardens.
Guavas and Mangoes from their yards.
Are you from UP/MP? I'm from UP.
You can take your time. Just don't rush. I think Cricket can play a very big role educating Indian people about Bitcoin.
Please tell me where to contact you, I'll drop in a message there. If you're not okay with it, also tell me, I'll drop you a private message with contact details.

Ha ha yes! Stolen fruits from someones backyard is always sweeter than your own. I think it activates some kinda deep unconscious primitive reward system, which I was never able to understand.
Yes, Dravid and Tendulkar were the heros of next gen, you're probably the same age as my younger siblings.
And yes, Indians (east indians) love cricket, if we can merge or link Cricket and Bitcoin in peoples mind, Bitcoin will probably hit 250K sooner, no need for the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. And majority of the Indians get scammed by their bookies who live in Dubai. They probably don't even know what prediction market is.
BTW, off lately, I've been witnessing a large breakout in Google trends for prediction markets from the Indian subcontinent. Maybe something is brewing up or could have just been the US Elections. More research is needed.
I was born in a small town in Bihar (your neighboring state). I've been living in the US since 2004. And since 2012, I've been living in the beautiful city of San Diego. Feel free get in touch via Twitter "@ bitSanjay" I will share my email, privately on Twitter DM. You can also reachout via telegarm "@ bitSanjay", however I don't really check my telegram very often.

You're so very true about everything you just mentioned.
I was born and brought up in Jaipur but now living in a small town nearby my ancestral village which is in UP, near the Ganga. Well, it's great to know that you're from Bihar's small town and now in San Diego. Everyone must be proud of you in your town in Bihar.
I've never done not because I don't like betting but because it's being operated from Dubai.
You're 100% right about Cricket + Bitcoin and $250k price. But what I can see is a greater adoption, not in terms of fiat but Bitcoin and also Indians need education about Bitcoin and they can only learn when it's either attached to religion or to Cricket.
I can't drop you a message on twitter for I'm not verified .. haha .
Please send me a message on @coinstutor so only then I can send..

Just sent you a DM on twitter and also shared other modes of communication.
Jaipur has a great cultural heritage, and of-course the mouthwatering cuisine. Lucky you! Good to know you're close to Ganga now, they say its a blessing to live by the river Ganga.
Honestly, once the housewives of India get a taste of storing value in Bitcoin instead of gold and silver, that would be the mother of all ATH we've ever seen.
Anyways, I don't want to bore the SN foilks with my Indian nostalgia. we'll chat on DMs about it :) Looking forward to connecting and collaborating on our sports markets.
