1081  Economy / Economics / Re: Could Bitcoin one day become the global reserve currency? on: March 27, 2023, 05:36:28 PM
A reserve currency doesn't have to have government endorsement. USD is the current reserve currency -- and the U.S. has plenty of adversaries that forcefully hold the currency for the sake of participating in the global economy. China, Russia, etc. would love nothing more than to not rely on the United States currency system in order to trade which is why USD is being dumped out of currency reserves at record rates due to high inflation and overzealous sanctions. It's within the interest of countries to adopt a decentralized asset that isn't prone to the typical political manipulation that USD is subject to.

Gold solves the issue but for logistical reasons, it isn't feasible to conduct bilateral transactions through gold. Crypto fits the bill quite well.
Even if crypto fits the bill very well as per the criteria mentioned, what about volatility? Don't you think that could be an issue for countries that would show interest in using it as their reserve currency and using it as payment for global trades? What would happen if the price falls significantly just like it did in the past? How would the countries behave in a situation like that?

I believe this is one of the reasons why Bitcoin will probably fail as a reserve currency unless every country accepts the fact that they will face a loss of monetary value every time the price falls.
1082  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Which is the best platform to get clients as a web designer? on: March 27, 2023, 06:10:40 AM
I would suggest you go offline and speak directly with business owners. The face-to-face contact matters a lot.
How can you find clients offline when most businesses today that are looking for a web designer can easily be found on the web. It's true that F2F contract do really count and it matters a lot but with today's phasing and digital age, it's easier to find clients that are on this specific niche online. When you go offline and try to look for them personally, you'll walk and go through each establishment to ask them if they need a web designer? I don't think that's a good strategy and you'll be exerting a lot of effort from it and that's why it's better to use the resources that you've got and be online and look for them at many job marketplaces which both of you can meet online and have conferences and sign contracts online.
Well, sometimes it does work when you walk up to a software house or a company and drop your CV letting them know that you are looking for a job and what position you are willing to work in, but as you said, it's not really required since almost all the companies even the smallest ones are available online or at least have their social media handles where they can be reached out.

I believe having interviews on-site is much better than having them online if you are interviewing for a job within the same city that you're living in because you may face problems in online interviews sometimes with an internet connection or any other issue can disturb your interview and you may lose the opportunity.
1083  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you love and enjoy taking risk? on: March 26, 2023, 09:40:01 PM
You have made a fundamental mistake in this market, your case is contradictory when last month you saw a better opportunity with altcoins than btc.
The fact that many people come to the market but only follow the advice of friends and relatives without studying what they are doing with the market, it is risky to hold money to invest like that. And I think you need to stay calm to reassess your current loss and see a new plan to fix this.
Personally, I have always prioritized BTC in the crypto market and only allocate a small amount of capital to top altcoins when the market is down, and will DCA them with money from main outside work. And when the market rallies I look at altcoins with ongoing trends.
The reason why investing in altcoins is that you never know what the outcome will be. If you do your research and analyze a project before making an investment, that might make your investment less risky but even after that, it will still be a risk. Those who don't do any research and analysis before investing in altcoins will probably face the consequences.

As you said, the best way is simply to choose Bitcoin as the main asset for investment and then spread the remaining capital among the top and trusted altcoins out there, like ETH, BNB, LTC, and many more.
1084  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many BTC needed for retirement in 10 years? on: March 26, 2023, 08:55:48 PM
I don't really rely on bitcoins for my retirement because we never know what will happen to bitcoins in the future, all I do is try to keep collecting bitcoins as long as possible.
and if the future or the next 10 years bitcoin will be very expensive that's very good, and even though the future prospects of bitcoin will be bright but we have to think otherwise.
so the intent and purpose is only to collect as many bitcoins as possible for business capital, buying property or other things that can make money or add value and do it in stages when I get big profits from bitcoin. But that doesn't mean I don't continue to invest, as long as bitcoin is profitable I will continue to do it with other business goals.
The ultimate goal is to have enough savings for the future, now whether you plan to achieve that by saving up and holding Bitcoins or by investing your earned capital into other businesses to achieve your goal. Some people prefer the first option where they only accumulate and hold Bitcoins and other assets, while some like it more when the money is invested in real-world businesses like real estate, etc.

If I talk about my choice, I prefer both. I believe I should have some of my money in Bitcoin while part of it should be invested in real estate, maybe gold too, and any other business that I find profitable around where I live. That way, I will be profiting from Bitcoin in the long run if the price increases significantly, and I'll also have other sources if it doesn't go very well.
1085  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the government can really make a way to end poverty or it depends on us? on: March 25, 2023, 06:46:23 AM
The paradox is that governments only exist when there are poor people. If everyone in society were equal, the main incentive for subjugation would disappear. Yes, governments may claim to be fighting poverty, but they do not go further than that.
Governments are there more than just helping the poor but they can also bring peace when there are wars. When I say war, it can also be a miss-understanding of one or two people in our locality. There are small government establishments placed on our localities to solved these mini-conflicts. Government may help to solve the poverty but we shouldn't totally rely on them.

There are things that will also depend on the people in order to make the action more effective. Unfortunately, not all governments are like this but there are corrupt governments who can only think about themselves but I think the people on these countries can still do something to improve their lives.
1086  Economy / Gambling / Re: How succesful will AI projects be to win the house? on: March 23, 2023, 01:12:29 PM
Don't forget this is a computer designed by humans and can be manipulated or defeated by same knowledge of humans that are in charge of these casinos. There's no assurance depending on AI for better and bigger win as the chances are still slim and predominantly based on luck just like with human ability only been used.
Well, though you are partly right that the models are created by humans and can also be defeated by humans, it's basically not a fight between an AI model and humans, but it is more like humans vs humans because those that will defeat the models will be facing the model's abilities that are actually being utilized by another human behind the model.

So this war basically is between humans where one will try to utilize the abilities of an invention while the other will try to beat it with luck and the advantage it has over it that's the house edge every casino has.
1087  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price is looking positive green on: March 23, 2023, 11:41:55 AM
Back over months is reddish, I could hardly think about bitcoin as anything good soon but it seem like there will be positive green movement this mid of the year coming. Bitcoin can never be overrated sometimes it will destroys your feelings, sometimes it will bring excited, dudes, is been a while we reap the juicy part of bitcoin. 3 days now is looking greenish with improvement I hope the pump starts soon enough, this green looks real positive
The messing up of some of the banks including Silicon Valley Bank and some others has actually proved to be a good thing for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. As soon as the banks started shaking, the price of Bitcoin started going up and crossed $28k by now and we are expecting the bullish trend to continue from here and at least cross $30k.

It has been almost a year since we have seen Bitcoin at the price where it is right now, and it surely is a great feeling it gives you positive vibes thinking that Bitcoin might cross its all-time high within this year.
1088  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it risky to invest in new crypto coins/tokens on: March 23, 2023, 11:09:19 AM
Yes, it is very risky to invest in new crypto coins. I found one new crypto coin some time ago, my current profit is 60% per month, but exchange to BTC and stable altcoins is limited to ~75$ monthly. PM, if you have interest, will send the link.
Lol, in one sentence you are saying that it is risky to invest in new cryptocurrencies, and in the second sentence you contradict your own sentence by suggesting a Ponzi scheme that pays 60% per month which is a probable scam and extreme risk. I think there are only two ways that I can think of why you are doing this.

You are either the creator of that Ponzi scheme project and looking for investors because you are in desperate need of money, or you are too naïve and actually joined such a project at someone else's suggestion or using their referral link. If it's the first case, this is definitely not going to work here, and if it's the second case, I would suggest you stop using that service immediately and withdraw your funds if you can which I don't think will be an option for you anymore.
1089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: March 22, 2023, 09:02:49 PM
A target of 270 runs cannot be called a big target. Rohit Sharma returned to the dressing room with 30 runs off 17 balls. There was no need for such hard-hitting at the beginning of the innings. Had he batted responsibly, India would have been able to win. India lost their first wicket by 65 runs. There was a big enough partnership. They lost the second wicket for 77 runs and lost the third wicket for 146 runs. And soon after that the Indian batsmen lost the truck. And the Australian bowlers took control of the match. India would have been in control of the match if the top-order players batted with some patience.
I agree with this 270 while you are playing at home with pitch is also not bad at all mean things looking for better end from India but if veteran Rohit Sharma is still had no mind set how to chase like this then you can't expect better things from other players he needs to understand every time going with aggressive way is not favorable from this match hopefully now they will be checked their mistakes and try to fix this all before world cup because now they have no enough time to do more experiments.

Start was good but as India lost first few wickets then suddenly things gone out of their hands and Australia done good comeback in leadership of Steven Smith which is good as captain and have good record in past as well SKY complete his hat-trick of golden ducks in ODI which is also another achievement for this number 1 ranked player in T20I.
1090  Economy / Speculation / Re: Dare to take such gamble? on: March 22, 2023, 08:11:08 PM
I was scrolling my page on Twitter as usual and I saw this post from a crypto guru, I don't know him but many people do say he knows how the market works. He put up a gamble worth of 2million USD, open to anyone who doesn't believe that Bitcoin will reach 1 million dollars 💰💰💰 in 90days, with the way he has been right with past predictions, this thread is making some noise on Twitter, but honestly, I found this prediction to be impossible, maybe I don't see what makes him believe that this is possible.
To be honest, I would take that bet if I could afford to buy 1 Bitcoin because I'm pretty sure that I will win the bet since Bitcoin will not reach $1m in 90 days if that's really what he was referring to because I couldn't see anything specific about that in his tweet. What I said doesn't really mean that I don't believe in Bitcoin or its potential, but conditions don't really say something like that could happen soon.

If he had said that for a year, maybe we could think that who knows? If Bitcoin starts going up and the bull market doesn't stop until it reaches $500k or above in no days, then we could see it hitting $1m  after that but to me, it even sounds unrealistic at all.
1091  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can old trading strategies work again? on: March 22, 2023, 07:02:09 PM
Thinking about how trading strategies need to always be changed and how one strategy may not work for a long time, what do you do with the strategy that you are about to change. do you just forget about it completely once a new strategy starts working for you? or do you keep it in remembrance for the future. If you have experienced this before; has any old trading strategy that you decided to apply work for you? Is it possible that old strategies may work in the future again?
If you know a thing or two about programming or coding, you should know that there are a lot of programming languages, and almost all of them are used for different purposes and has different use cases and powers of their own, but, almost all of them have some similarities among them.

So even if a new programming language is developed, having knowledge of a previous language helps you learn it more quickly or maybe sometimes use things from the old one in the new one. Similarly in trading, an old strategy should always stay with you, even if there is a new strategy that you develop yourself or just adapt, your old strategy will still be able to assist you at times.
1092  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: what to do if I addicted to login into the forum. on: March 21, 2023, 09:18:29 PM
I am a newbie and this is my first ever forum account and i am addicted to it, i log in many many times a day, what can i do to stop addiction, "every addiction is bad"
is it happened to your sometime when you were newbie?
Addiction is not always bad if it can add to your knowledge and insight with this forum. I understand why you are addicted because there are many discussion topics here that you want to find so that you keep opening this forum. Moreover, there is more motivation because you see other users who have been successful because of this forum you will definitely be addicted.

There's nothing wrong with what you do as long as it doesn't interfere with your daily life. For example, if you are fired from your job because you often spend time on this forum, that's bad for your addiction. Cheesy

My advice is that you should reduce your activity time in this forum, because if your eyes look at this forum for too long it can damage your own eyes. I think 6-7 hours a day is enough
I don't think he would have been concerned if the addiction wasn't affecting his life in any way. His life is probably being disturbed because he is not being able to stop himself from visiting the forum more often than he should, so that is basically bad even if the addiction itself isn't for something harmful.

Sometimes we get addicted to things that are supposed to be used for our own good but due to the addiction, they start turning to be a negative thing for us. I would suggest OP to significantly reduce the time he spends on the forum as it can harm hi life eventually.
1093  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Dilemma between focusing on B@bitcointalk and my current paid employment on: March 21, 2023, 07:08:11 PM
merits will be a much bigger obstacle for the majority, especially if there are less and less active merit sources that will reward quality posts.
Even if there are enough people around to Merit the posts, I'm afraid that a user with the only intention to earn a living out of this forum and signature campaigns can actually focus on the quality of their posts and put enough effort to be worthy of getting Merits. Even if they manage to get some, their focus will probably be more on the monetary side.

If he focuses more on learning and educating himself with everything about blockchain, Bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies in general, he will definitely have more chances of getting Merits and a higher rank in the long run.
1094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the Strangest Bet You Have Ever Had? on: March 21, 2023, 05:19:14 AM
Gambling or betting is moving beyond just casinos and sports to other sectors of the economy. There is a thread here on betting for the 2024 United States election, and another one for the Oscars. I have seen people bet on movie characters and all sorts of things. This is not to say that they are addicted to gambling. I think we do it for fun, as a form of socializing. While thinking about it today, I wondered what the strangest bet I had ever had was. I remembered having a bet with my brother that he would give me $80 if I could eat 5 packs of 200g of instant noodles in less than 5 minutes, and if I couldn't, I would give him $90. What is the strangest bet you have ever had?
Well, I believe everyone must have had a lot of strange bets in their lives when they were younger or maybe kids. We often bet on things when we are kids where we just feel that something will happen but someone else keeps saying no it wouldn't, and so out of anger or whatever someone may call it, we call a bet on it and challenge them to see if who would win it.

I remember when I was a kid, I was with my cousin's friends and we were going somewhere on foot. On the way there, we saw two dogs fighting, and as expected, we took a lot of interest in it and even started betting with each other, lol Grin. One of the dogs was pretty healthier and looked stronger, so one of my cousins said who will have a bet that the stronger one will win the fight? I took the chance and the risk and said that no, the one that looks a bit weaker will win in the end, and believe it or not, I won the bet Grin.
1095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much these features weigh most when you choose your favorite casino? on: March 20, 2023, 08:56:40 PM
I'll give you an example and after after i get enough answers i edit and count the average to the the table underneath.
What is your specific purpose create this? are you want to build a gambling casino with a higher vote?, If yes, then you will get hard work to fight the country that must do that condition (No KYC). Each feature you are sharing have a condition related to each other, for example The age of the site and Strong community/ Reputation, the older site is most likely to have a strong community/reputation. so that case, if you choose a value like 2 for The age of the site, that will not balance if you choose a value of 8 for Strong community/ Reputation.
Well, though I totally agree with you that a casino that has been around for a longer time will more likely have a stronger community and a better reputation compared to a casino that has recently launched, I believe that even a casino that has been released recently can build its community and reputation pretty quickly.

If a new casino provides top-notch services, amazing customer service, or customer satisfaction, and has some great games that the community would like to play more than other games available at different casinos, they can very quickly gain trust and build their reputation and they will also build a community very soon this way.
1096  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is ageing and old people part of bitcoin? on: March 20, 2023, 05:46:09 PM
Old people of course have deep considerations in terms of finances, because the increasingly difficult economic conditions certainly make anyone wary of the type of investment that will be chosen, if parents are in a comfort zone then they will not invest in high-risk types, gold, land, or stocks are the type of investment that old people usually prefer.
Old people usually lack knowledge of the latest technologies and trends when it comes to investments, so they usually prefer the traditional systems that are old but trusted like gold, stocks, real estate, or anything that has been available for centuries. And they are not basically wrong if they have a mindset like that because they don't easily trust anything.

And if you evaluate properly, old people usually don't fail with their investments because they do a lot of research and analysis before they put their hard-earned money into something, unlike today's generations who don't care much.
1097  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the first success story on: March 19, 2023, 09:39:14 PM
When the price of Bitcoin drops a lot. Then I buy bitcoins with some of my savings. And tell my friends to buy some bitcoins too.  A few of my friends bought some bitcoins with me.
Alright just make it simple, just post your Bitcoin address and sign a message to prove your ownership, otherwise you're lying and not telling the truth. The recent dump was at March 10, 2023 and November 10, 2022 - Early January, 2023, so must be bought Bitcoin at those date where Bitcoin was declining.

There's no any rumor or news about the upcoming Bitcoin adoption, I think everyone also surprised to see Bitcoin price suddenly increase since it's unpredictable.
I wonder if he knows how to do that since he doesn't seem to be too experienced with Bitcoin or signing messages and stuff. Also, let him enjoy his time if he really had bought Bitcoins and has them in profit, and even if he is lying, what's the harm in that? It's a discussion board and let him discuss his success and happiness even if it's a made up story which I think it isn't.

To OP, congratulations to you and those friends of yours who followed your advice and bought Bitcoins when it was low. The best thing that you guys did was to buy when it was low. Now if you can stay patient even more, you should keep holding them for higher gains.
1098  Economy / Economics / Re: Could Bitcoin one day become the global reserve currency? on: March 19, 2023, 09:06:30 PM
It takes a long way to make bitcoin a global reserve currency, of course it needs official recognition from many countries so that bitcoin's position is getting stronger, the biggest problem with bitcoin is very high fluctuations, a few days ago the price rose by more than 19% but bitcoin has also dropped more than 20% in a day, these considerations certainly make the government prevent the use of bitcoin.
It's probably true that for Bitcoin to become a reserve currency, it will have to be more stable which isn't something that can happen since it's the nature of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to be volatile. So it's basically not made to be a reserve currency unless a country or a company doesn't care about the volatility and still uses it to reserve their funds.

The main downside for it is that the funds reserved in Bitcoin can lose significant value over time, though it can also gain value the negative impact is more powerful when it comes to the reserves of a whole country.
1099  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Which is the best platform to get clients as a web designer? on: March 18, 2023, 08:11:46 PM
Fiverr and Upwork are the two most popular freelancing platform in my region. The only downside is that those two platforms are now overcrowded with sellers than the number of active buyers. So to stand out amidst the competition you need to be able to pitch your skill better than the average sellers in your niche.
The biggest challenge a new seller faces on such platforms is not having enough reviews or a rating to be able to stand out among the crowd, and buyers mostly see the most experienced and reliable sellers for their work. So unless you are very lucky or have optimized your gigs or services so well that they appear in a lot of searches, you stand no chance at all.

Those who manage to get some ratings and attract some buyers initially will have an advantage that can provide them with more opportunities, but those who fail to do that will have to face a lot of struggle to get a single client.
1100  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is Kyc worth the risk? on: March 18, 2023, 03:35:10 PM
Since joining this forum I have seen reasons why I should cautious about doing Kyc and Centralise Exchanges do ask for it but for a Trader is using Centralized exchanges the best ?
If Yes, what is the most secure centralise exchange to use? because I read that aside from a person identity be stolen, they may lost their funds or not been able to access it and this happened to FTX customers
Is KYC worth the risk? I'm not sure about that, but, is KYC important for everyone to use different platforms and services? Yes, it is, and there is no way to bypass it, so it has to be done sooner or later. Maybe centralized exchanges are not safe, as they can be hacked, your money can be stolen if your account is compromised, or anything can happen, but as a trader, you have no choice but to comply with their rules and regulations.

About the best-centralized exchange, I would obviously recommend Binance as it is the leading exchange and the no. 1 in the world at the moment. I've been using it myself for years, and never faced any problems personally. Just make sure you enable all kinds of account security metrics.
