101  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you still buying altcoins?? on: April 28, 2024, 05:37:32 PM
Investment in altcoins are good decisions and those will trust more in it who have gained profit from it and I think top coins should be held more while new altcoins will be not profitable if held longer.

Top altcoins like ethereum seems to not be breaking into a higher price but since they are good for long-term investments you can be rest assured that you won’t be exactly losing a lot of money compared to new altcoins wherein rugpull is very prevalent. If you want to take advantage of that better to quickly sell ahead of everyone else maximizing your profit.
As long as a coin has a limited token supply, then it will always have a potential for a higher market price as long as demand will suffice that market price. Nothing's guaranteed unless it actually happens. But I agree with top altcoins to be the best option for long term holding. Ethereum is next to Bitcoin as we all know. Imagine how many projects are running in this chain which makes its longevity and reputation to this industry, remarkable. Altcoins are still and will still be a good investment; you just have to pick the right ones to invest 'coz not all of these projects are worth putting your money with.
Alt coins are never bad to invest in. But if you want to understand the difference between bitcoin and alt coins then of course I will choose bitcoin here because I prefer to buy bit more than investing in alt coins. Bitcoin market before investing and then investing. If we can invest in Bitcoin for long term by checking the market and taking time patiently then surely we will get more success with Bitcoin investment. I won't say that Bitcoin alt coins are bad. You can definitely invest in both and you will understand yourself which one gives you the most profit.
Diversification will always be the right thing to do. You don't need to only pick one if you are aiming for big profit. But it will also be valid if you'd be stagnant of one but will be mindful of looking and learning about it.
102  Economy / Speculation / Re: Post halving investing strategy. on: April 28, 2024, 04:32:36 PM
Accumulation is the best post halving strategy. Problem here is with misconception and misunderstanding of how the market behave during halving. If we would look back previous Bitcoin halving, bullrun did not start the moment this event happened. It took place months or almost a year after halving. And if things would be the same with the recent halving, then we may expect for a correction or crash before the uptrend. Thus, this is the moment to invest and fill your bags in preparation to "true" bullrun. Personally, I am waiting for that moment to re-invest. However, we cannot blame people who would hesitate to also do so, simply because no one's certain of the market price action. DCAs would help but nothing's will be guaranteed as we all know.

Just know how much potential this industry is having and trust that potential. If you're too afraid then waiting for further market confirmation would be always an option. Always prioritize managing the risk no matter what. As cliché as it sounds, invest an amount you can afford to lose.
103  Economy / Economics / Re: How safe is it to keep your money and gold underground? on: April 27, 2024, 07:48:32 PM
It's obviously risky especially at this period unlike before. Perhaps you insisted doing it; digging shallow would make it easier for other people to steal it and with too deep holes, it won't be easy finding it in times you'd need it perhaps for emergency purposes. I have some gold accessories in me that I store in vault attached in my house's wall. Using this old method could put your holdings at risk, not to mention that the ground could be soften and reshaped by natural disasters such as earthquake and flood, now, would it still be safe? I firmly believe that technological advancements were made for us people to make use of it. If you still think the same way our ancestors are dealing with things then you might consider the situations in both scenarios.
104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Oklahoma City Thunder vs. New Orleans Pelicans 2024 NBA Playoffs Game 3 Info on: April 27, 2024, 07:17:14 PM
I'd be with OKC on this match up and proceed to the next match. Yes of course homecourt advantage will be a factor but they're all pro at this. SGA have proven himself enough to bag the victory. However, I do think that Pelicans will at least be able to prevent a sweep victory given that there are McCollum and Trey as mentioned, who also showed good performance on Game 2. Scores aren't that far and gap isn't that big so I think it would be reasonable to say that in Game 3, Pelicans might be able to get it but not the match up against OKC. Pelicans without Zion is tough for the franchise. I actually believe that they will have a chance with him being on the playoffs however as reports have stated, his left hamstring strain hasn't fully recovered yet which is really a struggle for the team.
105  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why you should only hold Bitcoin on: April 27, 2024, 05:50:54 PM
What I am ultimately getting at here in the theme of my post is that there is no other coin besides Bitcoin, which you can trust can be held over the long term. What are your thoughts?

It’s true that so far no coin was able to do whatever bitcoin has done in our world.

Bitcoin is the pinnacle of crypto and for a long time it will be. However I believe that it still depends on the person whether they want to invest in bitcoin only or want to invest in other coins as well. Yes bitcoin is the best but some people are looking for other features that bitcoin really does not have. Some would also argue that bitcoin is too expensive now.

I think as long as one is making the right choice then they can do anything or invest in anywhere they want.
With the idea that Bitcoin is too expensive, no one's required to invest in 1 Bitcoin in an instant. You can partially purchase an amount under your risk tolerance. You'd still gain profit as long as the market price of Bitcoin is increasing. Skies the limit I guess for its market value given that there is a limited supply however, this blockchain will also need continuous increase with the demand. And if it won't be achieved, then same thing goes with its market price, basically.
What I am ultimately getting at here in the theme of my post is that there is no other coin besides Bitcoin, which you can trust can be held over the long term. What are your thoughts?
If we're talking only about trust, then yes, I totally agree with you. But let's not forget that we also like to money so regarding that, I think there are coins and tokens with more potential growth compared to bitcoin, that already has a very big market cap, so it required a huge amount of money injection in bitcoin to make a 2x or 3x while some altcoins can easily make a 10x.
If it is potential then that would go with Bitcoin above any coin in the market. However, altcoins are also having its own potential to be profitable, and there's no doubt with it. Comparison is needless; an investor may freely diversify his/her portfolio to different projects of his/her choice. It would be fine investing into Bitcoin alone but if there will be an opportunity for other coins of this industry, then I cannot see any reason why you shouldn't consider investing on those coins as well.
106  Economy / Economics / Re: Starting a business without capital. on: April 26, 2024, 06:08:35 PM
Affiliate marketing indeed is an option but there will still be a capital with the device you will be using in order to make a sale. What's on my mind is consider providing a service to other people which will allow you to earn money and make it as your capital to venture different businesses. Rather than thinking of wht business won't require you capital, think more of why it is needed. No business succeeds without suffering from any failure. On those failures, your capital will allow you to continue or lengthen its existence and of course for improvement in the future. If you really want no capital at al then choose to be an employee 'coz there's nothing wrong being one. If you're really into business and entrepreneurship, it could be made possible afterwards. If business is that easy, then many business owners should be rich by now and that more people will also do the same thing
107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Blogs and Forums. Additional Features in Online Casinos on: April 26, 2024, 05:39:20 PM
Well a community will always matter along with a platform's reputation given how many gambling sites are a fraud. This will be a huge help for those players who are seeking legitimate gambling sites they can entrust their money with. Personally I don't trust reviews alone posted in the gambling site itself simply because it can easily be created for the purpose of promoting the platform's credibility. It would be much better to hear directly from other gamblers about their experience to certain platforms just like with different discussions in this forum. So yes, it could be a gret feature especially for the new ones or those which are still seeking to establish their gambling site in this industry. There are already telegram channels on most gambling sites but it would be a lot better if there will also be in other platforms.
108  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will MemeCoins Fuel the Next Crypto Craze? on: April 26, 2024, 05:06:33 PM
I quite doubt. Well, it is indeed profitable to many investors despite of some features such as utility. Most of memecoins' market value are manipulated by whales and hype over the market in general. Most of the increase on the market prices are big indeed and to the same extent it is also the reason why sudden dump takes place. I doubt that it could be the fuel of next crypto craze simply because out of numerous memecoin projects, only a few are succeeding and becoming something "bigger" upon enlistment on different exchangers such as $PEPE, SHIB, and DOGE. The hype or popularity of memecoins are still there but to fuel the next crypto craze is just something. If it is with new narratives in the market, RWA and AIs has a bigger chance for a new trend.

At the end of the day, we'll just see it once the bullrun has started. Will still be sticking with major coins and I now included Solana on my portfolio.
109  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If someone you introduced to BTC says the risks of her funds is on you on: April 26, 2024, 04:41:59 PM

Dear fellas, please I needed to know how you would feel if you were in my position basically where she said I would refund her if her funds gets lost becasue you recommended and introduced her to the system.
Then it is either you'd have a percentage with the potential profit or just leave her alone with her money. I experienced this at first hand; I was blamed because I taught him things about this industry without him, doing his part of studying this industry. What's hard is with their expectations; easy profit or fast way to get rich. It is unfair of her if she will require you to refund the possible loss. Such a one-sided deal. If she cannot afford losing an amount then no investment industry would fit here. No one is required to engage and invest in this industry therefore if you took the initiative to also join web 3.0, then it will be you to blame if outcome would be negative. There are just people who only seeks profit without considering present factors. Let them learn things on their own and just mind your things 
110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are Nassim Taleb's ideas useful in gambling? on: April 26, 2024, 04:15:04 PM
I'm only familiar with "fooled by randomness," which refers to gamblers who often chase their losses, which only increase their losses in the end because they think they can recover what
they lost in gambling. This is my only understanding of this book.

And it's also focused most of the time on a gambler losing, and besides that, it's not focused on how a gambler can win but rather more on risk management, as I understand it.
In short, it doesn't give strategy or a trick of winning in gambling to the gamblers most often.
Of course, there is no book that will tell you any gamble strategy on making profit, because it is not possible to make profit in gamble, but only luck can give your profit. This is why you can only be taught on how to limit your losses, which I think is the best when gambling. This was why Nassim in "fooled by randomness" talks more about risk management in gambling. Whoever cannot control and limit his losses will continue chasing his loss, and losing more.
There's no way a gambler will have full control of the gambling outcome. However there are strategies which could at least increase your chances of winning; card counting and card predictjon on card games and making your own analysis with a fighter or sports team. These things won't make winning certain but at least you'd have a better result. The discussion questions whether Nasim's idea is useful in gambling. With that, then I'd say yes. Most of his contents are about risk management which is in the first place beneficial to a gambler especially ones who eaily gets frustrated and greedy. One way to come up with profit is to lessen your loss. Maybe it just depends on how a gambler would handle things on his own. Aiming to win is a normal thing but having that needed discipline is on another level in this industry.
111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beyond Wagering on: April 25, 2024, 11:56:43 PM
I'm not sure if that counts, but I was never into sports; I'd never watch a football match, except for special occasions such as the finals of the European Super League and when my country was playing. In simple words, I was never interested in or intrigued by football. After I became involved with casinos and gambling, I acknowledged the money-making opportunities I'd open by participating in sports betting, and I don't regret it. Now, I occasionally watch football, at least once or twice per week, mostly on Sundays that I have my day off, while I've made a reasonable amount of money through bets.
Sometimes it would be happening that way. Gambling could really be a stimuli for an individual to engage into something. Same goes for me who isn't really gambling in real life but have learned playing card games on my early years in gambling industry and I happened to like it. Then preference would take place getting you to other things which could yield to enjoyment. At least there is a bright side for gambling which is unlocking new interests such as sports. I know there are people who isn't into any sport but isn't it great to see that someone is enjoying sports industry? Although gambling is not a requirement.If it is just entertainment with proper risk management, gambling could still be a good activity that people could find joy with. Well, losing will always be a part of it but at least if you don't lose more than your risk appetite could endure, then I think there's no chances for addiction to happen.
112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the least risky gambling game at online casinos? on: April 25, 2024, 11:30:05 PM
Well, every game has its own risk. Not sure but for me I think risk is more manageable with sports betting simply because a bettor could make his own analysis based on player statistics or team's performances unlike with pure luck based games wherein you'd only rely with your fate. However as I said, nothing would be certain. The risk of losing will always be bigger than the tendency to win. Thus, it would always be better to prevent oneself to be too confident and to bet everything on the line. Always be mindful of the consequences.
Please recommend non-slot casino games that are fun and have interesting odds.
If you are looking for non slot games, then you should try skill based games. I recommend blackjack. I am not yet an expert in it. I am still learning. From my research, the odds are in your favour if you have the experience, the skill and strategy. The Venetian Resort Las Vegas has an article online for blackjack basics. It is an interesting reading - How to play blackjack
Card games indeed is a option because there are working strategies such as card counting that could help a gambler win. But luck plays it still for this game in particular with card distribution which is why I believe sportsbetting is still a better option. Also, I guess it would depend on the player's preference given that we're good on different games on our own.
113  Other / Off-topic / Re: Gaming strategies on: April 25, 2024, 04:40:20 PM
Strategies and all but nothing will be certain if your goal is to win. Strategies would only work on things such as limiting yourself from being greedy and frustrated that could cost you bigger loss. And obviously, this is applicable to all gaming or gambling activities. It was after 2 years in gambling that I figured out strategizing to lessen your loss is better than dealing with winning no matter how much you desire for it. But if it is with some particular games such as card games, then card counting would really be a huge advantage over other players however, it cannot be used with other games.
Do you have favorite gaming strategies? Are there any effective approaches you know of that can be used in different games?

I have some sort of preparation before playing the other real-time games you need to warm up most of the time before I play the game i want is i do some demo games, take over just a minute just to manifest the winnings before I really start the real-time game, once I win i will stick in the game but if I lose I will change another game and repeat the earlier step I've been mention. But strategies to win the game seems I'm not lucky in slot I always do sports gambling today its easier to analyze and understand than taking a risk on the slots.
Well it really does work in particular with limiting one's emotion to take over your gambling habits. Well I do view it as well as sports gambling having better odds of winning than to push the game itself to be in favor of you are.
114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Streaming community are getting worst!!! on: April 25, 2024, 04:14:19 PM
I do feel the sae way towards them, however there's this side of the story that they are just doing such thing for money because they are paid to do so. I just hope that they could control or limit their audiences in particular with age. Problem only is with streamers who are creating false content or those who embarks that winning is easy and such wherein in reality it is not. But I agree that more streamers are now appearing promoting gambling contents. As a viewer, we have the rights to report it and get it removed actually, however things won't be done in an instant. You can just also hide it on your tab and with other audiences, it will depend on their initiative whether they would engage or not. I am just on a position that I gamble as well and it would be ironic to say that I am against the streamers directly.
115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the biggest mistakes made by beginners in online gambling? How can they on: April 25, 2024, 03:37:02 PM
Personally, some of my mistakes are not setting my desired betting amount, sending fund to wrong wallt address, betting and losing an amount equivalent to my whole month salary, and engaging with some unknown gambling platforms because of their unrealistic offers turning to a scam. Mistakes for sure comes in many forms but in the first place it won't be called a mistake if you did not regret such thing to happen. It is a norma thing to experience making one inside and outside gambling industry. Necessary I guess to one's growth and what matters is that you learn from it and to avoid its occurence afterwards. It'll just be a shared laughter knowing that other people have made the same mistake as you did.
You can name as much as you want but it will all boil down to the idea of stoppage.
116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will the number of new investors reduce? on: April 24, 2024, 07:11:54 PM
It would be fine if those who were just hyped by the idea of halving will just leave. These people are the ones destroying the industry afterwards especially if their expectations were not reached. I'd rather choose less number of investors but ones who knows how this industrg works. Those who were just carried by the hype are the ones who easily panic and cutloss which yields to permanent loss unlike with those who really invested time to know things. Capital alone won't make you rich; decision making would.This is also the reason why doing a research for your own, on the asset you're interested wjth, needs to be checked in order to avoid unecessary complaints. For sure there would be a decline as well with provinces embracing more of this oh phenomon.
117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where do you see NFTs heading in the future? on: April 24, 2024, 06:46:20 PM
Well, there are good NFT Projects to invest. However, it would be hard to determine which one would be lasting for a long period of time. There is a high volatility with small NFT projects. On my end, I tend to just flip the amount then target other projects than to stay into one and hold for years. Hype declines especially if there is a small community behind an NFT project and it would be safer to just take profit regardless of how much profit is, as long as there is profit. On the same extent, most of NFTs market prices are falling continuously in the long run. My personal opinion for this is because of communities sustaining the demand and prices of these artworks. If more people would acknowledge NFTs in this industry, then there is a higher tendency for these projects to grow. But as I've mentioned, not all are good for long term holding, so be careful on choosing one.
118  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lies told to cover up gambling habit on: April 23, 2024, 07:07:09 PM
We all lie for a reason; either to protect ourselves or protect other people from getting hurt. On the given example that the man lied on his fvorite time, it is subjective in the first place. There is a whole lot of definition for enjoyment and that might just confused him with his favorite moment, I assume that he enjoys both of it, still. I did the same thing before but on a different extent. I was asked if I am gambling or engaging to such activities by my girlfriend and I lied saying no. Not to gaslight but I think it is a personal thing. As long as you are not being problematic and still in control of your habits, then things are fine still to hide it for your own reason. Even with partners there are things you keep private from one another simply because you two still have different lives.
119  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you stopped using bitcoin for small transactions completely ? on: April 22, 2024, 05:54:28 PM
Well yes, there are a couple of times I refuse to make transactions with small amounts using my Bitcoin holdings. One reason is high transaction fees which would cost you more thaan the amount you just have to pay. Also, if it is just a small transaction why don't you just use fiat to compensate for that something wherein this concern is coming from the idea of managing your money better. If I will have other options to pay then why not? Especially right now that the market price of Bitcoin is high and that means it could be bigger someday and same problem may still exist.
If you're trading $100 or less in Bitcoin and you're paying $20 or more in fees to trade that small amount, I'd say you should definitely avoid trading. If you have to pay a fee of $20 or more for a $100 transaction or a $50 transaction, you will not feel comfortable doing this transaction. Bitcoin transaction fees are not always the same if you can wait then Bitcoin transaction fees will return to normal and when Bitcoin transaction fees return to normal then Bitcoin can be traded. Hopefully, for your own good, at least wait this long so that you can complete the transaction with a relatively low dollar amount.
Won't be practical right? I understand that some people here are supporting this industry by pushing too much. It just happened that people benefit more from it as an asset that price or value is growing which redirects the idea of using it as a mode payment.
120  Economy / Economics / Re: Financial Advice for a young millionaire on: April 22, 2024, 05:24:59 PM
What financial advice would you give to a young boy, probably, at the age of 18 who just received a whole lots of money from the inheritance of his late father who was a trader and multimillionaire in the textile industry?

The boy is the only child of the widower and does not seem to be interested in the same line of business and even when he does, he requires more maturity to be able to manage the business such as graduating from the college, etc.
Enjoy it the way you want to and learn from your mistakes if ever you will be doing one or some. It is easy to tell them to spend it wisely or put it to an investment but not all young people are into that or even having understanding of what's right and what's not especially if it is with money. They may consider asking their older relatives about it and such but they could be taken advantage of in some instances.

The reason why I said to spend it on the way an individual would want to, is to also know the value of money. He/she could use it on things which are really not important such as luxurious things, and eventually nothing will be left. That is the time which he/she could reflect and learn. HmIt might light a fire within him to again reach that money thru hardwork of his own and be able to spend it as it should be. Failing teaches the best lessons in life. Consider that you are inheriting to an 18 years old boy and not a grown up man.
