1101  Economy / Speculation / Re: Take advantage of the price fall. on: July 15, 2023, 09:51:58 PM
Is been a hard knocked to everyone trading bitcoin this seasons especially investment, my friend was sore disappointed for the recent falling of price because he bought $1000 bitcoin but the truth is that we cannot foresees the future in today, this is not the first time the price is Reding down, we should take advantage of this time at least you can use a small to purchase high value bitcoin. I wish we've profound bitcoin price analyst here, many people really wants to know the cause of continues price deflected, if you've ideas please your comments will be very important here. We newbies this days fall victims a lot because of ignorance of cryptosystem. Let's talk as a family.
Price falling doesn't guarantee that it won't rise again, which is why it's called an investment. He should have been aware of the risk before investing because you can make money and lose it all when you make a short-term investment. However, if your friend made a long-term investment, I think he wouldn't lose anything because you can't lose money when investing in bitcoin if you don't do it for short periods of time. By being aware of everything before investing, mate you will benefit when the moment is right.

That is why we should study first before we start our process towards investment, buying a coin is the easiest thing to do in the world of cryptocurrency and the challenge will begin if the market starts to dip, and by that time, a question will pop on your mind that if your investment will survive or not. But if you have known right from the start and weigh the risks, these things will be prevented/avoid because you understand how it works and why does it happen.

Speaking about NFT then if we do look on Opensea on how it did end up then we could really say that this market turns out to be shit. Lots of those buyers on peak or having bought up with those millions of
dollars when it comes to NFT's are surely in almost 100% loss of their investment because most of the value is kissing into the floor now. Its true that we might be seeing some another adjustments
or enhancement about NFT but im not really that expecting that much. We wont know on what would be the next current trend.

Yes. it does feel tough as you pointed out The NFT market went through periods of popularity and high prices, but also experienced a decline in value. Investing in NFTs carries risks, and some buyers may experience losses. The future of the NFT market is uncertain, and it is difficult to predict the next trend.

NFT was a bit sort of a scam, I believe. Investors was victimized to this but they cannot blame nobody because they are the ones who have chose to invest in it even though it carries risk that are still unknown, still they pursue it and bought millions with it. But where's all of that now? I doubt that they can still sell it at a much higher price compared to the price when they bought it because NFT is surely going down and will eventually fade as the time goes by.

How do we identify the best coin and the period to invest in these types of coins?
Bitcoin itself is already a crowned as the best crypto to invest in and has been with us for more than a decade already, it might be a bumpy road to all who have invested into bitcoin but all of those challenges did always come to an end because after every rain (dips), light will always prevail. To summarize, bitcoin is the greatest and the most worthy coin to invest with, and it is good for long term investments rather than letting your funds sit on the bank. If you as an investor is inclined to invest into other coins, you can always do your own research to identify which is the best coin that will suit you.
1104  Economy / Economics / Re: SPENDING MORE THAN YOU EARN on: July 15, 2023, 08:05:36 PM
I will make a monthly budget and a list like you. And a shopping list for food items we need for survival. Not types of food that are not needed and are more expensive. And I do say no for things that I would buy in the past. Things like DVDs and lottery tickets I do not purchase anymore
Are you really going to do that?  I think that this topic has returned you with some positivity in making some financial decisions that can be considered relatively important. 
In general, there is nothing better than arranging priorities to organize the spending process to meet daily needs, especially in cases where income sources are limited.  On the other hand, in the meantime, sources of income must be diversified to liberate the spending process and get out of that limited budget between income and spending.

Others will say that you should find another source of income so that your budget will be enough, like you don't need to budget now or cut some food just to keep up the budget. Just imagine you don't need to set a certain budget for food and you can spend it on whatever you want to cook (except eating at fancy restaurants). It can make you feel free. That is really what I've achieved now so that my family can eat healthy foods, but again, having another source of income is difficult, but we should keep looking.
Even though there's no other faucet to get money, it is still advisable to keep organize your finances so that an unwanted situation will be minimized or even avoided. It will be hard of course mainly if the income is not that big and then you have a quite bigger family to feed, but there's no need to fret because everything can be done if we analyze it correctly and most importantly, avoid doing or buying such things that will make the situation even more harder.
1105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: July 14, 2023, 06:02:20 PM
There is nothing much to argue about in this rule which has been a rule that previous hosts have enjoined over the years. @Leviathan.007  how fair would it be that your country is a host of the world cup tournament with the so much inconveniences that follows the whole process of preparations and arrangement of hospitality to all tourists that would be in attendance? It makes no sense at all that's why the express slot are given to host countries and nothing unfair about that, it's rather understandable.

Just one question to you.

If a country can't qualify for the FIFA World Cup, why should that country be given the hosting rights? This was very evident during the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Qatar was given automatic entry to the tournament since they were the hosts. And what happened after that? They lost all three of their group stage matches and got crashed out of the tournament. I still believe that if a more deserving country from AFC was given that slot, then they would have performed much better. Anyway, in this case United Arab Emirates was the team that was ranked 6th in the AFC qualifiers. I don't know how they would have performed, had they been given the chance.

I'm also doubtful about if it is the right thing to give this qualification right to host countries just like that. I don't know if this gives the right to that country to join the group stage directly just because of hosting the tournament. That country should also earn their way to the main tournament by playing qualification matches.

Qatar really didn't make us watch some good football from them. The players just represented their country in the last World Cup and that's all. They were an easy target for all of their opponents in their group.

In the 2026 World Cup there are going to be 3 host countries like Mexico, Canada and USA. Now all of these countries have qualified for the main tournament already.  Smiley

These three teams will get the three positions in the world cup tournament and this can make the other three strong teams to be out of the World Cup because the three teams are getting auto qualification for this tournament. I think at least they had to just let America get the qualification chance and two other teams could race for the ticket just like other teams because in fact, America is the main host of 80 percent of games that are going to be in America.

We should start to be accustomed that there will be some time that three countries will be qualified automatically without the need to make a run for the qualifications and go through the normal set-up just like the other team because in the upcoming World Cup, three countries will host it and it will be just rightful to have their own team to be qualified directly. Moreover, in World Cup 2030, I bet the same thing will happen as it seems like Morocco-Spain-Portugal will host the event.
1106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 14, 2023, 05:15:10 PM
-snip-

Mostly in the playoffs but when they faced the Nuggets in the WCF, they almost lost to all factors and that became a reason why they've been swept by now the reigning champion in the league. Height wasn't really a factor inside the paint though, it's just that Anthony Davis cannot focus on his role and defend the paint because the guys outside the perimeter also needed some help as they weren't acting what needs to be done.
Not only in WCF, but indeed the Lakers can't beat the Nuggets, I'm not even sure the Lakers can just keep up with the Nuggets.
From the last meeting, it can be confirmed that the Nuggets are indeed the strongest in the western region plus they have Nikola Jokic and also LeBron James who can make the Nuggets have a good game from start to finish.
For the next season I still have faith in the Nuggets so they can create an amazing series and a win.

Yes, I have no doubt about that as well. In fact, the Denver Nuggets will be more dangerous in the upcoming season because they are now more experienced and much more mature to know what should they do in a certain instances, moreover, I got zero doubts that they can still claim the #1 seed in the Western Conference. Any team can take that place of course but that will not last long enough because the Nuggets will aggressively get what is rightfully theirs in their return to get the first seed.
1107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Committed Suicide After Losing School fees, And That Of Friend To Betting.. on: July 14, 2023, 04:54:57 PM
It's really a shame, this is really one of those sad stories that really tell the dark side of sports betting and gambling in general, I could not help it, but had tears rolling down my cheek while reading this story..
It's a horrible story to engage in reading, and it's clear that terrible things do happen in our world. Some people are truly depressed; they lack so many things in their lives that they believe the only way to end it is to commit suicide. I've personally witnessed circumstances where people regard suicide as the only option that exists. The victim lacks communication skills; he has never communicated his account of events, and even if he does, his circle is incompetent or uninterested to support him. Suicide is never an appropriate response to our problems; there is no such thing as a problem without a solution.
Rightly said, suicide can never be a solution to any problem it was usually not impossible to get out of this difficult depression depending on the mentality of the person. They do not choose this path because of lack of sufficient knowledge and skills if the bet is lost once, there will be a chance to recover many times but if the life is gone it will not come back. Only those who have lost a loved one can understand how cruel suicide is. We have no opportunity to know what life is like beyond death. So maybe his life becomes so insignificant in the event of survival that a person forgets the greatness of life for a moment.

Sometimes, thinking about it, we cannot really say blame them if they made that choice because the kind of situation they are in is quite unimaginable for someone that is not on their shoes. I mean, it is easy for us to say that suicide is not a solution because as long as we're still alive, everything can be fixed even if it is quite blurry when we're looking in the horizon, while that is true, we don't have any say about what they did because honestly, I don't think that it was their first choice and I know they have tried to think carefully about how to get out of that situation but for them, it's just too impossible that is why they decided to do the unthinkable.
1108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou Boxing October 28 on: July 14, 2023, 03:21:56 PM
I just read that Ngannou's fight purse against Tyson Fury is around $8 Million which is similar to what UFC offered him to defend his title against Jon Jones. Huge leap from his last fight which reported to be around $600K so kudos for a getting a great deal even after all the fallout.

Yes, facts! Nobody know what is the real reason behind why Francis Ngannou rejected an $8 Million offer from Dana White to defend his belt against Jon Jones because that could've been his biggest paycheck in his career if he chose to fight in UFC 285, what we know was that the negotiations failed because both camps did not agree on something and afterwards, Ngannou vacated his belt as he go to the free agency. But it looks like that he will still have that money now as he is scheduled to fight Tyson Fury.
1109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight (july15,2023 on: July 14, 2023, 02:52:28 PM
Yes, Nonito is more technical than Pacquaio and probably the reason why he is can fight up to this point. Not that badly damage as compare to Manny wherein he has go to a lot of wars around 126-135 against some of the great boxers during that era. And then at 140-147, fighting bigger guys.

Not really that technical, though Donaire has also suffered devastating knockouts in his career. It's Pacquiao who is truly more technical in the ring. Although he may be perceived as a brawler, his exceptional ring IQ is highly evident in most of his fights, allowing him to dominate his opponents.
Both Nonito Donaire and Manny Pacquiao are highly skilled boxers known for their technical abilities. However, the concept of 'technical' can be subjective. In terms of style, Donaire is often considered more technical because he has mastered the peek-a-boo technique. On the other hand, Manny excels in various aspects of boxing, making him more technically proficient overall compared to Nonito.

I agree, Manny is considered as a brawler, as compare to Nonito who uses more if his boxing skills and then his impeccable timing to win against his opponents. So they are very different in terms of their style, but they accomplished the same goal, winning titles in multiple divisions.

And Nonito Donaire may have another crack to win the bantamweight title at age 40, defying father time just like Manny when he defeated Thurman. So we will see how it goes for Donaire and hopefully he can accomplished this record.

The torch has been passed down, Manny Pacquiao did his time and now while Donaire is still active, he got that responsibility to wave the Filipino flag again and be the second Filipino champion to exist this year. It will be a rocky road because father time is really catching up on him but Donaire is not yet ready to give up his dreams and will attempt again the secure the belt, besides, I know that he got this fight because his opponent is not the kind of boxer who can finish him with a surprise.
1110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: July 14, 2023, 02:34:13 PM
And maybe in the future the Saudi league will get more hatred from the European league supporters if its popularity is wider, and of course players and sponsors will pay more attention to this league in the future.
yes, this is a big Business plan built by the Saudi Arabian football industry. Of course, it's not just a matter of business that brings them money. but this also has to think about the fate of the younger generation who can compete in big competitions.
the arrival of several European players, most of them are no longer young. this can be used as a motivation for the younger generation to compete with European players. they can learn how to play and the training that European players do. however, a player like Ronaldo will have a sizeable impact on the growth of young players there.
The developers of Saudi football when viewed from this side are very smart in making their strategy to develop the interest of their generation, as far as I know Saudi Arabia or the Eastern Bloc countries have never recorded achievements in the World Cup, of course this has become a trigger for increased interest in football. football industry, we will see what the Saudis will do and how much impact this strategy will have on their current generation which they will show in the world cup, would you predict that.
I want to see that the Saudi professional league can produce many players who are able to compete on the international stage, and maybe become idols like Messi, Ronaldo and others.

There will be a time in the future that they can finally produce their own fine men to play in football and can compete fairly with the other known clubs mainly in the Western world and considering how dedicated they are to attract superstars on their club, I'm confident that sooner or later, Saudi League will grow more and will be known not just because of their humungous funds but because of the players they produce that can dominate too, and maybe by that time, they can be the champion in the FIFA WC.
1111  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trade with caution on: July 13, 2023, 07:58:05 PM
That 3rd statement is true and has always been the case for the majority. Just as everyone is aware that they're on the profit, they're passing it on. It's because that they're thinking that the profit might be higher than what's being seen at the moment. Thus, greed is being detected on the majority while it's possible to sell at just keep the profit and win by that time, they're letting it pass because of the thought that the profit might be higher if they wait a little bit longer. Yes, that's possible but for how long? Years? or just a few days or just a few hours? Do not forget to satisfy yourself and take that profit.
You know it’s hard to satisfy oneself and not wanting more because we are born greedy and hence, without satisfaction. And if greedy people decide to trade, it will be a struggle for them fighting their own greed and emotions. That’s the reality, but despite it, there are still good number of traders who have overcome that and end up trading successfully. Aside from controlling its greed and emotions, patience also matter so you can perfectly trade your coins at its best and reasonable price.
1112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin according to Satoshi is digital money then why call it investment. on: July 13, 2023, 07:29:52 PM
The world has freedom of speech and you can call Bitcoin as anything you want in your vision.

You can call it as it is, Bitcoin but you can call it as a shitcoin, a virtual currency, digital currency or even a scam currency.
If you buy it and hold it as an asset, you will call it as a store of value, for your investment.
If you use it at a gambling site, you will call it as a gambling currency.
You use bitcoin in your own ways and other people use their bitcoins in their ways which can be different than yours.

It can be called as The Internet of money
or as a Bitcoin standard.

Whatever you call it, others call it, Bitcoin is Bitcoin.
You’re right mate. Bitcoin is Bitcoin no matter what people call it. However, for me bitcoin is also an investment because it grows its value and in return it will provide us profits or income that we can also used to invest aside from bitcoin. The fact that bitcoin is a store of value then people can freely call it as an investment. And despite of its highly volatile price, bitcoin remains a good and profitable investment as it is.
1113  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Before contributing, learn from others as a newbie on: July 13, 2023, 06:23:19 PM
Well, it’s a must I think that if you are not familiar about the thread, then learn from other comments first so you will also get the whole idea and have your own analysis on it. That is why learning is constructive, you don’t have to rely on oneself only but care to brainstorm first from other members post. That is one way from saving your post not to go off topic. However, when it comes to investing and trading, same thing goes. Learn from the experience of those veteran members, as they have been exposed in the market for long and have developed more working strategies to combat or prevent themselves from losses.
1114  Economy / Economics / Re: Invest in Marketing on: July 13, 2023, 05:47:15 PM
Marketing is an important key to a successful business, if your products is seen in various ways of advertisement then you need to worry less because that will speak to your customers and bring more customers to you. However, small business lack the idea of marketing their product in a smaller way through social media but I think that nowadays youths makes use of social media to advertise their stuffs than before.

It is only agricultural produce that don't need marketing because it is part of our basic needs. The good thing with marketing is that it creates awareness for people both far and near.
Exactly. Since your goal is to make profits, then you should be able to let everyone know about your business and how it’s advantageous from others. With that, even your facebook account can do a lot of wonder. Once you publicize your post, that means everyone will be aware about it. And once you get there, the more you should maximize your marketing strategy so that those clients will not doubt your business and will go straight to you if ever they need it. That’s how useful social media these days.
1115  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Things that influence our trading decisions on: July 13, 2023, 07:17:38 AM
Almost everything influences the trading process. And in fact - to make a decision is not an easy task. So, it is only at first glance that everything is simple, accessible and understandable.
If you become mentally strong, then many of the issues mentioned in the op can easily be solved. You need to be determined completely and should not lose focus from your goal or daily limit. Making a decision was always hard, as several factors affect here. You need to analyse the risk, estimate the outcomes and predict the direction before investing in any coin. If a person excels in everything I mentioned previously then definitely he can reduce the risk and can completely change his profits or basically increases it.
Trading has a lot of factors to deal with before you can finally say that you’re a good trader. And there will always be inevitable losses no matter how good you are in trading. However, everything can be learned and even mastered but those process will certainly take a lot of time before they set in. That’s the reason why trading demands continuous learning from your mistakes and losses, and also from your achievements and profits as they will create an impact to the whole being of a trader. In the end, trading is hard and even risky, but you can always chose to make it easier by following the basics in trading and of course, trade with confidence and faith because that will also attract positive trading results.
1116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: risk nothing, you're risking more on: July 13, 2023, 06:53:09 AM
It's okay, you can anytime join the Bitcoin bandwagon and start buying and shilling to others in your friends and family, Bitcoin is a great family and Bitcointalk is that house which includes this family. This is my daily go to forum for anything related to Bitcoin and I am sure, it's for many others.

BTW Anon, you are never late to buy Bitcoin. Just buy and HODL, good time is ahead. Bitcoin halving is ahead. Wink
No one is actually late when it comes to bitcoin investment. There’s always opportunities for those who decide to take some risk, it’s just that some have managed to overcome the risk and stay focused on their goals while some have been easily discouraged by their consistent losses and end up leaving their investment by selling at a loss price. However, reentering the market is always welcome. At least you can now correct your mistakes by not repeating the same mistake again, and by being more patient to wait for bitcoin price to surge high and reach another ATH again despite of its high volatility.

Financial freedom is what everyone is dreaming of. And the reason why we keep on working hard and do our best with crypto investing and trading is that we want to achieve financial stability and freedom so that we will have all the means to live our life to its fullest. And if ever given the chance, most likely I will strive even more to sustain my financial freedom so that I can also help and guide people who also need my financial help and assistance.
1118  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why Crypto may go wrong for some people on: July 12, 2023, 09:12:02 PM
Simply because they don’t do their due diligence to learn and just enter the crypto market without prior knowledge but with only greed that keeps motivating them to invest. That way, they will never be successful in crypto investment. We all have human greed actually but we should know when to avoid it and when to be greedy when everyone else has became fearful. Because that greed could either break us or keep us more wanting about crypto and its potentials.
1119  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading or investment! What's your take? on: July 12, 2023, 08:47:49 PM
Trading is a high risk activity which requires a lot of know how and experience to have any chance of success in the field. This makes it the more dangerous for newbies and I don't exclude that to beginners on the forum but in trading as a fied. Your met with those that could be said to have been well experience in the field having had a lot of layers on there skin and they can use this.

Trading isn't for any individual with minimum knowledge, if any individual goes into trading without having the right information they'll lose. Many individuals have lost millions in the market because of this. Trading is more riskier than investing. Trading demand to be more active in the crypto market because as a trader you depend on news happening in the market to determine if you'll be putting in a buy order or opting out of the market.

Investing requires minimum work and attention. Investing has less risk involved as if you have patience you can always profits from investing in Bitcoin. Investing in altcoins on the other hand has the same risk as trading so unless you're ready to lose it don't do that.
Well, it’s clear that if you want to be more stress free and high risk free, then chose bitcoin investment over trading. What you need is just patience and emotional control so you won’t end up investing at a loss. For me, I don’t want to settle on only one when I know I have the potentials to be more profitable when I do both. That’s how optimistic I am especially with trading that will let you experience massive profits as long as you always follow the rule and basics when trading.
1120  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My story about bitcoin and my old friend. on: July 12, 2023, 07:59:15 PM
Well, I don’t have the same story as yours as my friends never really hated bitcoin that much, but they were not interested either. They just don’t want to take risk with bitcoin believing that it may only be a waste of time and money, and in the end it will only turn into scam. So I never convinced them in the first place. However, I still hope  that they’ll be more open to bitcoin one of these days. And maybe by that time, I can gain some significant achievements that will prove to them that bitcoin is legit and will never be directly involved in scams.
