101  Economy / Economics / Re: Do your work. on: April 26, 2023, 05:25:43 AM
We all have different occupations and work for different companies. We work hard and keep improving ourselves to show our company owner how good we are at our work and how efficient we can be in growing the company. But all we are doing is helping grow someone else's companies. All our talent and struggle is to help someone else earn more money. What are we doing for ourselves? At some point in our life, we must grow our own businesses for our own safety.

The title "Do your work" refers to growing your own business. We all have some skills in different sectors and we use all of our energy to work for a company and get a monthly salary. But we are not supposed to work for that company till death. so how will we bear our living expenses after retirement? Most people do not think about that.

You can say yes they do. They do monthly savings for their retirement plan.

But this is not savings or investment. Your fiat currencies lose value every year. So Your 30 years of saving will be the same in numbers but not in values.

So what can we do then? We have so little to grow a business.

Invest your saving in precious metals like gold and silver or digital assets like bitcoin, or it can in some potential stock or it can be in real estate. Invest your money where ever you want. Just do not keep it in a bank. The Bank interest rate is not higher than the inflation. You are losing money not gaining it. The point is to invest even if your saving is negligible.


That is right to grow our own business. Being a regular employee the salary is not sufficient for my financial needs. We do really need some extra income to be able to survive and it is hard to save extra money for investment. Having your own business is much better in being an employee, we need to work hard to be able to surpass the target income that we are aiming. When the business is already working really well, we could save up and we can invest it to a  profitable investments.

Most probably i think you should wait before owning a bitcoin. Make a research first and study further the market, enhance your skills as well in investing. No one can really tell what will happen to the market if it will go down or if it will goes up. Wait for the market to go downwards and set a target price on your target investment. While waiting you can stake a stable coin so that your funds would earn some percentage while waiting for your target price of bitcoin. Do not be so desperate just keep calm and have more patience.
103  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The market will come back bigger again on: April 26, 2023, 12:55:42 AM
Hello guys,
With this ordeal going on it seems much-lost faith and bailed as if the whole market is going to vanish. This kind of thing happens more often in the stock market with inside trading, embezzlement, etc. In reality, it’s a perfect time to get in with everything dropping so low. It will come back and come back bigger than ever after this dies down and there will be improvements to hopefully prevent this from happening again. So do not lose hope and know that the bad time will inevitably pass, and you may not be able to make up for this opportunity again. Just my opinion.

It is time to take advantage of the bear market now, if you have extra funds that you can invest take this opportunity because we never know maybe the market is nearing bullish. But no one can really predict the market, just prepare yourself to the worst drop. If the biggest drop happened just hodl on your investment because the market will surely bullish again. You need to wait even if it is a long time and that waiting time would be worth it if you see your investment gain a lot of profit. Just be used to it and do not stress out yourself if the market goes down.
104  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What to do when there is a bear run in Bitcoin on: April 24, 2023, 11:58:08 PM
All we need to do during Bear Market is to seatback relax, avoid stress, do not be so emotional and hold our Bitcoin. Never ever sell your Bitcoin during bear market because the market would definitely recover from being bearish we just need to be patient. Avoid investing as well during bearish market because our investment might stuck up. Make sure that you had invested only is what you can afford to loose do not invest your funds that you use to sustain your daily financial needs.  
105  Economy / Economics / Re: Can I take a loan to invest in bitcoin? on: April 24, 2023, 08:16:01 AM
For the sake of investing bitcoin do not be desperate to take a loan. Taking loan might bring you to a much more higher interest rates and surcharges specially if your bitcoin investment goes down. If that happens you might not be able to pay your debt and the interests will go higher and higher. Better yet save some money and do not in a hurry to invest. There are still a lot of time you can invest. Do not risk on getting a loan because it can make your life miserable if you did not profit on your bitcoin investment.

107  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is money ruling the world? on: April 24, 2023, 06:59:15 AM
Money is ruling the world is because it provides people with power. If you have a lot of money you can buy anything that you want. Money is everyones necessity without it how can an ordinary people survive with his daily life. It is also essential in education, healthcare, transportation etc. The more money you have the more comfortable life you will have. But there are times money is used by people to control other people for their own protection. Money is also the root of corruption in the government.
108  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to avoid cryptocurrency phishing attacks on: April 23, 2023, 11:30:33 PM
[1] Seed Phrase
- this is the most common method of a hacker to steal our funds. And it usually preys on newbies who don't know anything about the crypto space. What is happening is that there will be a pop-up in our metamask wallet asking to enter the seed phrase or a link will open saying to enter the seed phrase. Like for example to claim airdrops even if they don't know where they got it, and of course out of curiosity they will enter the newbies that they don't know will be hacked. A simple social engineering method can easily trick people without proper knowledge in the crypto industry. And when that happens, the investors have no recourse. The wallet is compromised, all funds will be scraped or lost, and the only solution that can be done is to create a new wallet and not use the old wallet that was hacked. Because there is no way for you to recover the wallet even if you report to the police.

[2] Direct Transfer
  - Also one of the methods of hackers and what they do is they will send an email from a legitimate person or company and say that you send them coins and they will promise to return its value in a larger amount.
But for those of us who have been in this industry for a long time, we already know this gimmick. But of course the newbies don't know that because of course there are still people out there who bite the hackers' bait. Sometimes scammers do a trick using metamask if the wallet has been compromised. There is a signature request that will appear but the truth is that it is just hiding its function hall. What will happen is that the fund will be transferred to the scammer. And sometimes it's a security update but it's the same. When this happens, the fund cannot be recovered but the wallet can still be used, that's why it's dangerous.
However, such tricks are difficult to detect especially if we do not track what web3 website we are using.

[3] Approval
  - also one of the methods of hackers or scammers to steal your funds. A way for them to access our tokens or NFTs. The Approval or Permit has two flavors. This is the onchain transaction that grants access to our NFTs or tokens. What the scammers do is legitimize the transactions that we will approve, but in reality our tokens or nft will be transferred to another wallet. And they can do this by creating update applications that request permission and once we approve that, they will have full access.
So normally what these scammers will do is they will make it appear that we have received airdrops and we need to claim it, and sometimes we will receive an email like that. Like the example in the picture, sometimes in groups or social media channels you will see something like that.

Of course we already know this kind of trick and we don't just believe in it of course. But as usual with newbies they don't know this, so newbies always be careful.

[4] Permit
  - It is also a way to get access to our wallet like the approval, the only difference is that an off chain signature is needed here instead of an onchain transaction like the picture below. The process is almost the same as the approval.



Now the only solution to avoid this is to be vigilant about the decentralized applications we access, and always check the url of the website and make sure that the one we access is the official website. And when we receive a link to the airdrops, don't just believe it, because normally the project owners don't do this. So it should be confirmed first on their official channel or their social media channels.

And our other solution here is to revoke the approval after we used the applications. It's just a different way of disconnecting connected sites, though we also need to disconnect the site from the metamask. And we have a certain website for this, all we need is that we have a balance in our wallet for the transaction we will do here because we are dealing w/ onchain transaction. So we have to pay the gas fee here, and the most popular here is https://revoke.cash/

all we do here is connect the wallet and the beauty here is that almost all blockchains are available to them. Once you see it, you just revoke it so that your wallet's connection to that application will be lost forever.
So we will just do this every time we have an interaction with decentralized applications, Defi or any nft market place just so we can be sure even if we pay a fee at least our wallet is secure especially if the wallet we use has funds.
Or another solution here that we can do for additional protection is that we can install a web3 antivirus in the chrome extension, its job is that before we use metamask, it runs first if there is a threat in metamask or not. Because if something suspicious is seen, it will give you a warning.

This is a very good article. All of us should be aware and careful of phishing attack, we should evaluate first the airdrop that we are about to join and if they are asking to connect the metamask research first if it is safe to approve signature on our wallet. Once they had access we may loss all the balances that we have in our wallet. Thank you so much for this kind of information buddy. This is to spread awareness to all investors specially to the beginners.   
109  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Next bull market comes in June on: April 23, 2023, 02:31:56 AM
No one can really predict when will the next bull market will take place. It is already second quarter of the year and the market is really hard to predict. The slow movement of the market is very tricky we do not know if it is going to rug pull or it is going to be bullish. I still believe that the whales has a big participation on the prices of the market and also the investors who used to dump coins to take profit. The best thing to do right now while the market is not bullish is to take advantage on investing coins at a lower value, keep it and wait for the bullish market come.
110  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Future of play to earn games on: April 21, 2023, 06:10:07 AM
What do you think about play to earn blockchain games? Do you think that video game players will one day abandon Sony and Microsoft companies for play to earn games or Microsoft and Sony will one day be forced to allow play to earn games to run on their gaming devices?

Play to earn games are pretty much interesting specially to the people who are fond of playing online games. I had seen play to earn games promotions and it shows that by playing those games you can earn crypto currencies in winning or in leveling up the game. Usually social media influencers are the ones who promotes the P2E games to make the it hype. But if you will evaluate the games it would cause you a lot of money before you could start playing it, in short you need to invest first on the game before you could start playing. Some of the games i saw was so expensive to start up and upon seeing the price, I decided not to push thru on playing it. For sure Sony and Microsoft had already their plans to develop P2E games to be able to cope up to the existing market.
111  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I still believe I am on the right path on: April 21, 2023, 04:35:45 AM
Even if I have bought some bitcoin a few days after the launch day, there is a 99% chances that I would have sold the Bitcoin, the enemies of holding Bitcoin for a newbie is

1. Market manipulators
2. My own psychology

Market manipulators must have made me want to wet my pants, in the past years there are many FUD about Bitcoin, calling it another bubble, this could have made me give up.

We all have our demons too, I could have listened to them, saying, sell, sell, sell, you dummy, this thing is going to die and you will lose all your capital.

I believe it's a good thing to have grown with Bitcoin all this past years and have grown the confidence to hold through any weather, Bitcoin have proven itself to be the best solution to decentralization.

Now I don't hear my demons trying to confuse me to sell, I was there once, I knew how it felt to believe in something you don't have trust in, today I've made up my mind, to always be with Bitcoin.

You are not too late, you just find the reason to keep supporting Bitcoin, to keep holding your Bitcoin bag. My confidence in Bitcoin is now 100%.

You are right no one is too late in Investing in Bitcoin. An investor should be open minded and equipped with proper knowledge on how does the crypto currency investment works. You had done a great strategy in holding your Bitcoin investment. It is your state of mind who can control your emotions and you did a great job with that. If you had sold your Bitcoin earlier I am sure you already regret it. That is one of my greatest regret I had sold mine too early and I did not expect that the price of Bitcoin will pump. Well experience is really a great teacher. I had learned that i should not let my emotion rules my state mind.
112  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I keep my BNB or Sell it? on: April 20, 2023, 06:29:57 AM
You can keep it for as long as you believe in BNB. If I hold a BNB I would rather buy and sell it. I will do the scalping way, I will wait for the price to go higher to take profit and then i will reinvest it again if the price go down. You should know your target goal if you prefer long term or short term. Everyone of us do have our own strategy in investing. Researching first plus applied experience could help you decide if you should keep your BNB investment or you will sell it. Think so many times before you decide so that you will not regret it.
113  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 10k investment on: April 20, 2023, 02:17:37 AM
Hi,

I’m looking to invest 10k, I’m trying to decide if to go with XRP or ADA.

In terms of holding I can do it for 1-3 years no real time limit. Not sure what returns I might get short term vs long term. ADA for example i might get 3 to 4 x return, however with XRP that might be a lot more should they win the court case.

My slight worry is what happens if XRP lose.

P

There are many more Altcoins to choose aside from XRP or ADA. 10K would already be a good investment, you have to be smart in choosing the right coins to invest in for more possible profit. If you are worried in investing XRP then do not  invest on it. BTC, ETH will be a good investment with a great possible income in return just wait for the market to go down that is the right timing to invest and keep it for a long time. Evaluate yourself also if you are longing for a long or short investment.
114  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Guys!! I was finally able to buy my home thanks to Bitcoin!!! on: April 20, 2023, 12:49:56 AM
Congratulations that is one of the many success story happened to a person investing in Bitcoin owning your personal Home. That testimonial is worth sharing to others. Doing your own research, strategy, confidence, eagerness and luck are some of the main components to reach success. I think many would be motivated once they heard your story. Even me upon reading your story is pushing me to strive hard to do Bitcoin investments to achieve my future goals. I hope one day I could buy my own properties too and give a beautiful future for my daughter.
115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Shiba inu get to $1 on: April 19, 2023, 12:54:05 PM
Can shiba inu ever get to $1 in the next bull run or more years to come??,  though nothing is impossible, but i don't think it can get there,
And is the project still good to invest in?

It would take a long time before shiba could reach $1 because you know why it has a huge market cap and it will be really hard for it to go up even if it is bull run. Look at Doge even if it was supported by Elon Musk did it reach $1? Doge is evolving already for a long period of time compare to shiba though it is part of the top crypto currencies in Coin market cap but still it never reaches $1. You are right nothing is impossible could you still wait for about 50 years for shiba to reach $1? Come to think of it if you will invest in shiba better yet to scalp it so that you could take profit and then do it again.
116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investment involves being realistic, doesn't it ? on: April 19, 2023, 06:00:21 AM
The truth is that the more often you buy/sell, the less profit you make in the end. It has long been a well-known fact that speculators will never make as much profit as long-term holders can, so the more often you enter the market, the more risk you expose yourself to. The greater the risk, the more likely you are to make a mistake and lose money. In altcoins, making a mistake is easy, which is why many short-term strategies almost always end up in the negative yield zone.

That is true the more often we trade the less profit we make in the end. I had experienced that in my past investments I had tried to do a day trading I ended up negative. Short term goals / strategies is pretty much stressful and very much at risk, trading could really test our patience. That is why day trading is not that good I would rather go for a long term investment to keep me away from so much stress.
117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The bear market is your friend on: April 19, 2023, 01:24:43 AM
To everyone in crypto currency, the bear market is one market where fuds and panic triumph and reign which greatly affects the prices of crypto currency tokens, and yes some projects do not recover from the bear burdens.

But do you know that the bear market is a blessing in disguise for every investors that is prepared and has been waiting for the dump ? So many tokens are going to touch lower lows, and if you are prepared, you can key into this tokens and more than double your money when the bull run is here. The dump is your friend, and is a blessing if you are always ready and prepared for it.

Make sure to look into quality tokens and projects, and ofcourse dyor

That is true bear market really affects the prices of the crypto currency tokens and during this time the market fluctuates downwards that a lot of investors experienced sudden loss on their portfolio. But if you are the kind of investor who already used to it, hodl is the key to avoid losses. I agree with you that bear market is also a blessing for investors they could take advantage on buying the crypto currencies at a lower price but of course it depends if they have budget to invest. Be very careful in choosing the crypto you will buy to have a good income and to avoid losses.  
118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: newbie invest on: April 18, 2023, 12:00:26 AM
I have 2 BNB, what is a good project to invest in? Something with utility, no shit coins

The best crypto to Invest is no other than Bitcoin because it is the safest and the top crypto currency ever made. BNB is also a good one you can keep it and wait for the price to go higher and take profit if it reach the high price. Ether is a good investment too. Make your own research first before you decide in what currency you will invest. It is up to you if you will take risk on your chosen Altcoins make sure to buy it at a lower price to avoid losses.
119  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why people are always interested in altcoins on: April 17, 2023, 07:15:48 AM
People are interested in Altcoins is because some of them are very much cheaper investment compare to Bitcoin. Though it is too very risky they still tend to invest on it because of the possible pumping of the price that could lead them for bigger earnings. People should do their own research first on the altcoin they target to buy so that they would not regret it if they loose. As i had experienced instead of loosing what i had invest in altcoins i chose to hodl them and will wait for them to recover.
120  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: can we return the stolen wallet? on: April 16, 2023, 11:54:12 PM
Hello guys long time not see, my wallet was got hacked. All my token was stolen to the hacker wallet
i dont know why but can i still secure it? i hope you guys can help me. Thanks you
and for hacker i hope you have some beautiful children that die from cancer

Oh no that is sad to hear. Once a wallet got hacked and all your tokens was stolen in your wallet there is no other way to secure it. You just need to accept the fact that it is all gone. A crypto wallet has a one unique private key or pass phrase that you need to secure in a safe place once it was hacked you can never retrieve your wallet back. It happened to be back then i never recovered it. Next time we need to be vigilant we should not click any link in our emails, social media, text messages if you seems it is suspicious. Those phishing link can really hacked the accounts that is stored in our personal computers.
