Yes, Bitcoin has never been a scam, it is just being used to scam people just like any other currency.
This is the biggest misconception of newbies or those who doesn't know anything about crypto currency, which is pulling them back from being an investor or using it.
I don't get it why people would assume that crypto or Bitcoin is a scam, when it is just being used as a currency or investment tool.
I am sure that there are way more scams being made in Fiat so does this also mean that Fiat is a scam, specially for those who believe that crypto or Bitcoin is a scam.

Scam stems from human behavior and greed, bitcoin or fiat currency is just one of the tools used by scammers to scam people. But the irony is that people like to blame bitcoin and crypto every time they get scammed, they never admit that it is their fault. They never admit that it was their stupid greed that made them fall into the scammers' trap, and they don't stop there, they continue to propagate that bitcoin is a scam and is the cause of their lost money. For that reason, many people who are not yet involved in cryptocurrency think that the cryptocurrency market is a scam.

There have even been conflicts among market insiders, with many blaming altcoin projects for being scams and giving bitcoin a bad reputation. It is true that there are many scam projects created and those who criticize altcoins are not completely wrong but not completely right either. Because if we all know how to restrain our greed and not participate in projects that promise high profits, who can scam us? We ourselves are also contributing to creating scam projects because we cannot control our greed.

I remember my first salary was $80. I got it from another place, originally I got it from Gambling, although I am not into gambling anymore,
It’s good that you are not into gambling anymore.

I don’t know exactly what work you did but I have to assume that any kind of salary from gambling can turn  into something really addictive and later on quite harmful. It’s good that you had stopped otherwise you would have fallen back into a very deep hole. The first money from gambling gives you a high that would make you feel like there will be no bad days but there will and that’s how you get addicted trying to come out of that hole in hopes of feeling that rush again.

Most people on the forum make money through signature campaigns and they are issued by online casinos. You yourself are participating in a signature campaign and do you think this is bad and will harm people?
It is true that gambling addiction is a bad thing and it can ruin your life but if you use it as an entertainment tool (not addicted) it is not so bad.


@OP, congratulations on your first bitcoin investment. The bitcoin investment journey has never been easy and everything has just begun for you, I hope you will stand firm and succeed on the path you have chosen. Yes , DCA and long-term holding is the best way to make money from bitcoin.

Beginner think trading is easy because they see alot of people claiming to be successful at trading. Trading can be easy or hard for you depending on how you start trading. If you started by learning how to trade very well from a mentor or a good teacher online, you would not find trading to be hard and you can make money but when you what to learn through shortcuts because you are looking for fast ways to make money  therefore depending on trending signals, you would not understand what you have to do to know how to trade well and it will make you to be making different mistakes when you are doing your analysis of the market and be getting a wrong signals. Beginners do have to be ready to sacrifice sometimes to learn how to trade before they can start making money.
Learning something accompanied by a teacher or mentor, I think they gain knowledge much more quickly during discussions compared to learning alone or self-taught. Indeed, if we want to be successful in trading, we have to make a lot of sacrifices, including money or time to learn to analyze the market. Sometimes even someone who is an expert can still get caught up in the harsh world of trading, there is not a single indicator that is truly perfect when analyzing.

Self-study is really difficult and takes a lot of time , and there is no guarantee that we will absorb the knowledge correctly. Therefore , I also think that if someone wants to learn trading, they should find a teacher or advisor to get the right direction .

The path to becoming a professional trader and making profits from trading is extremely difficult and we have to sacrifice a lot, it is not as easy as many newbies dream . For me, to start trading, the first thing we should prepare is to accept losses and it can even last for months or years. I have yet to see anyone become a trader and be able to make a profit in the first few trades and be able to maintain it over the long term . But how many newbies accept this , how many people are willing to accept long-term losses in exchange for lessons and experience ? That's why not many people are successful in trading and trading is not for the masses.

Kieran McKenna helped Ipswich Town promotion Premier League in this season and its good decision from management giving long term contract appreciate well done achievement. I think management try to defend him after some teams interested for signing Kieran McKenna after success make Ipswich Town promotion to Premier League just one season only after promoting to EFL Championship.
Ipswich Tow performed this season at EFL Championship very impressive one point remaining with Leicester City and almost success become the winner, but promoted to Premier League most successful for Kieran McKenna because Ipswich Town not more favorite team predicting will success promote to  Premier League.

Yes, his success definitely caught the eye of a lot of teams. Especially because right now there is a genuine shortage of good coaches all around the world. when some really well-known coaches are not being able to bring in good results with good clubs, coaches like him and Alonso are coming up Showing that it is possible if you have got enough tactics.

Just reminder, Kieran McKenna its not new manager in premier league because he was be Manchester United assistant manager under Ole Gunnar Solskjær era.

I think that has definitely helped him. And he has also done something clever. He has looked at the mistakes that the main coach did and learned something from that. 

Getting promoted is obviously a great achievement for Ipswich town. I hope they will be able to see a good level of performance in the English Premier League as well. But it is going to be hard for them to avoid relegation because the competition is really good.
125  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Stop paying money to learn trading when you can learn it yourself on: May 31, 2024, 09:15:11 AM
Many source and social platform to learn with cryptocurrency trading and I don't think need for joining paid signal trading group, waste your time and your money for paying signal trading group because most of them always sharing late for buying coins and talk us after price pumping.
I joined some telegram group and not worth yet behind their signal information always share into the group after price raising up and seems not profitable yet if buy.

Difficult to find with paid group of cryptocurrency signal sharing early when price still down and all user has bigger opportunity to earn much profitable not only the owner. Better save your money than waste for paying signal group and learn by your self on many social platform give education about cryptocurrency trading exactly at Youtube platform will make us easily understand step by step for trading in bitcoin or altcoin.
Yes, sometimes people want instant things. By joining a paid group like that, they hope for a signal that will give them a profit, or something else. However, in the world of trading, everything is always changing, and it is better if we learn it ourselves. Well, maybe at first we will have difficulties and encounter many obstacles. however, sooner or later, we will get used to it. Until now, there is a lot of material regarding the basics of trading, tips and tricks, and other things that can be obtained for free on the internet. People just need to try harder.


We just need to think simply like this, if they are really trading experts and can easily make profits from trading. So why do they need to open a signal group and collect fees from there? If I can make 1k$-2k$ profits consistently every day through trading, why would I take the time to share signals with everyone and take the time to explain them? So, those who cannot make money from trading are those who come up with ways to provide signals to others to make profits, IMO.

After all, all signals are for reference only without any guarantees, and a person with only basic knowledge of technical analysis can do it .  Therefore, with just some time and determination, we can learn how to trade on our own without having to depend on other people's signals.

One funny thing about altcoins is the pump and dump, if a trader is lucky to make a profit of $77k that is if we remove the capital of $3k he started the trading with why not withdraw it knowing too well the risk that are associated with altcoins because just like same way they pump speedily that's same way they dump and one act about traders is that if they made a profit of that amount and later on they lost part of their profits instead of taking out the remaining profits they will still have the mindset that it will pump to that initial profit they had before and I have seen a lot of crypto traders lose a lot of money with this same mindset.
Pumps and dumps happens too in BTC but it was only more natural. Maybe the guy is only less knowledgeable to not know it? Indeed he is already lucky there to profit like that but he is also greedy and maybe he is waiting for more pumps but unfortunately it didn't happened anymore.

Many of us are also greedy but not to that point he is showing. $77k is already a huge profit out of his small capital and even not exactly $77k but only $10k or $20k return, that is still good already. There maybe lots of those you see but I believe they are like this guy who is also a newbie and once they gain enough experience, they can also change their approach.

Yes, pumping and dumping also happens with bitcoin but many people deliberately do not accept this fact and they say that it is a volatile based on supply and demand. But there is a difference between bitcoin and altcoins which is that if bitcoin gets dumped, it will still recover after a while but that will not happen for many altcoins.

In my opinion, he is just ignorant and cannot control his greed. This happens often with newbies and I believe when we were newbies, we were just like them so there is nothing funny here. No one can be good immediately and have full experience right from the first days of entering the market, and losses, being scammed... are unavoidable.
Altcoins could really be considered out on two possible types on which to those projects or coins which does have actual utility or with those coins/tokens which are made up basically for meme
and this has been always the part now into this marketplace. This is why there are other people who are really that thriving out to deal up with altcoins or meme coins because they do know
that once they could be able to hit up the right one, they could potentially make themselves that rich if they had hit up the right spot but not all and this would really be needing up with
some extra luck for this one because when it comes to memes then it wont really be that much of suggested when it comes on hitting the right project.
This is where you would really be that always be considerate about the risks involved. It would really be a hit or miss then it would really be that depending on you.

If talking about altcoin investment, I have never opposed or hated it because I also invested in it and earned a lot of profit from it. But investing in altcoins is very risky, especially memes, so those who like risk and have knowledge should participate in altcoins, but if you are newbies, you should stay away.

Altcoins are all the same, I don't differentiate between junk projects and utility projects because there is also no guarantee that the top projects will survive in the long run. Investing in altcoins is short-term speculation and unlike long-term investments in bitcoin, once we make profits from them, we should take profits. Don't naively believe what they advertise and think we can invest long term in altcoins, it's very risky.

128  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is your preferred method of converting bitcoin (or other crypto) to fiat? on: May 30, 2024, 05:37:18 PM
What method do you find most convenient and cost-effective for converting your crypto holdings to fiat currency? CEXs, P2P, Debit Cards... ? Also curious if any new or up-and-coming techniques are on your radar.


P2P works like magic to me since banks won’t be suspicious on fund transfers on my bank account because I have business which frequently gives me multiple transactions from other people for payment. P2P transactions from crypto makes it looks like a regular business transaction which gives me a space to breath from audit.

Choosing Centralized services is proven hassle when dealing with high amounts since they frequently notify banks about the transaction that it involves crypto which creates problem. I experienced freezing of bank assets just because I received too much fiat from crypto assets which bank doesn’t allow as part of their ToS.



I don't think the exchanges notify the bank, but the bank proactively locks your account when they suspect your account has unusual transactions. You don't have to be a cryptocurrency investor, your bank account will also be frozen if you make unusual transactions such as too large amounts and you have never made any similar transactions before. This is the bank's regulations and way of working, don't blame the centralized exchanges.

In my country, Binance does not have a business license while banks have issued regulations that do not allow people to trade cryptocurrencies. After that, Binance itself also issued a warning to us , asking us to limit writing the content of transactions related to bitcoin and crypto, to avoid being frozen by banks. That shows there is no connection between the exchange and the bank.
129  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Exposure to bitcoin at young age on: May 30, 2024, 05:12:13 PM
Do you think if someone knows about bitcoin and just spends time learning about the technology and how it works without taking advantage of it to make a profit? I don't think anyone can do that, especially young people who always desire to get rich and even have the idea of ​​getting rich quickly.
It’s true that some people are too greedy but I don’t think that that should hinder them from learning about bitcoin still. Greed and impatience can be changed over time with effort and dedication. New knowledge is always helpful if we just learn how to manage and control it.

Besides not a lot of people would be able to invest right away no matter what they try to do due to lack of funds. Still it’s nice to have that knowledge in store.

But we are talking about young people, impulsive people who always want to get rich quickly, people who never like to listen to other people's advice and just do what they want. That's why I say that exposing young people to bitcoin, along with its advantages, will also have disadvantages.

What I fear more about young people is that when they don't have investment capital, they won't think about going to work to earn money to invest. Instead, they may lie to their families to ask for money or worse, steal. Young people have very shallow thinking, which is why in most educational programs, they will be taught about philosophy, social subjects... it is not the right time to focus on teaching them to earn money.



Money is not a big problem if we really have to make it happen. Parents could give support if they know their kids have a good plan in their lives.

If you know and believe that your child has a good plan and a good life mindset, why not tell him to find a way to make money on his own? Teaching children to be dependent or dependent on their parents is not necessarily a good thing.

Everyone is saying that this is a good decision taken by the Ipswich town.  do not forget that they are getting promoted this season.  So of course avoiding the relegation is going to be the list expectation from them and there is a really good chance they will be able to avoid Relegation in the next season, I am interested in watching them in the English Premier League.

Kieran McKenna Should be the breath of fresh air for the team. if I recall correctly they have been able to get promoted to the English Premier League after 22 years. that has to be an achievement in itself. that's why I have said that not much is going to the expected from them. I think all that is expected from them is not to get relegated
131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Exposure to bitcoin at young age on: May 29, 2024, 10:54:49 AM
Do you think that exposure to bitcoin at an young age is a good thing in general ? I feel it should be taught based on individual personality and not to very young guy. This is because all young guys might not be responsible enough to invest and track with patience at young age. However, those who have the required patience can make very high returns on their investment by investing at an young age. So, which side are you in this aspect ? Do you feel that all young guys should be informed and educated about bitcoin ? 

Yes, absolutely! Exposure to Bitcoin and how it works is not gonna hurt anyone. Exposure to investing and trading, on the other hand, can be harmful, especially at young age. So, my answer is: yes, all young guys should be informed and educated about Bitcoin the sooner the better, but at the same time please tell them that Bitcoin technology and things like trading and investing are different things entirely.


From what you said, it can be seen that there will be advantages and disadvantages in educating young people about bitcoin. Do you think if someone knows about bitcoin and just spends time learning about the technology and how it works without taking advantage of it to make a profit? I don't think anyone can do that, especially young people who always desire to get rich and even have the idea of ​​getting rich quickly. So exposure and educating young people about bitcoin is not as simple as we think. Like why many newbies to this market mostly lose money, very few newbies can make a profit from investing in bitcoin.

I am not against educating young people about bitcoin, but we need to find effective methods that do not teach them indiscriminately and without strict management.
132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't advice anyone to invest on Bitcoin if he doesn't have Alt. income on: May 29, 2024, 10:39:23 AM
Snip

do you think it's better for someone in your cousin's situation to invest in Bitcoin gradually as he stabilizes his income, or should he wait until he has a more secure financial footing?

Well, I don't have any cousins in such a situation, but above, I have already stated my opinion, which is what I think can equally be done. 

If, for example, you had a job before and were receiving a better salary, then it is possible you must have savings, right? So, if peradventure the job ended and you were jobless at that moment but you already have about $5k or $10k in your savings balance, I would advise you to either invest 40% in Bitcoin, 35% in some daily business, and 15% for personal use to sustain yourself till you probably get another job, then theremaining 10% can go into a savings balance in case of emergencies. 

If you don't have an idea for any business, then you can invest more in Bitcoin and also keep enough savings that can better sustain you until you get a better job. 

Depending on the availability of jobs in your country, you can predict how long it's going to take before you get another job. 

If you want to wait till you have a better financial status, then my question is, why did the person not invest in Bitcoin at an early time when they still had their first job? While waiting till they were jobless before they had the idea to invest?. 

As you said above, it depends on the employment situation of each country, and finding new jobs is very difficult and we cannot guarantee exactly when we will have new jobs. Is investing 40% or 70% in bitcoin a wise and correct idea?
I have seen many people fall into unemployment for more than 1 year and if in that case they invest their savings mainly in bitcoin and the investment still does not make a profit, then what will happen?

It can be said that there will be no specific answer to this issue and it will depend on a number of other factors as well as each person's decision. We can't give anyone specific advice on how much to invest in bitcoin and how much they need to save because we don't really know their situation. Personally, I will choose the safe path, I will wait until I find a new job before thinking about investing because I not only take care of myself but also have a wife, children and family.
133  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are banks against cryptocurrency? on: May 29, 2024, 09:53:21 AM
As I said, bitcoin has never had the ability to threaten banks or governments nor was it created by satoshi to create that hatred. Initially, governments and banks were not friendly to bitcoin, simply because bitcoin was a new asset that was highly volatile. They need to be wary of it because they do not know whether it will bring benefits or harm to them and the national economy. But as things gradually become clearer, they feel that it is not as dangerous as they were once wary of, so it is understandable that they gradually become friendly with it. Everything takes time to adapt to, just as many of us were skeptical about bitcoin before trusting it, so why do we think so poorly of banks?

Banks ARE the enemy. They're the main reason why the economy went downhill back in 2008. History repeats itself as one crisis emerges after the other. Satoshi created Bitcoin because of banks' malpractices. He was a cypherpunk with libertarian ideals. Do you think he would've made Bitcoin if the mainstream economy was going well? I think not. It's why so many banks are against Bitcoin and its variants. At least, in the early days.

If you think that banks are the enemy and they are the main cause of the financial crisis and economic recession. Are you sure and based on what guarantees that if bitcoin is deployed globally, it can eliminate inflation, crisis and recession of the global economy? Could the global economy be easily fixed if we accepted bitcoin? This reminds me of those delusional people who said bitcoin would be able to help alleviate poverty if it were adopted globally,  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy.

Now that "Wall Street" is in the game, things are starting to change. BTC is being acquired in mass by institutional investment companies. If things keep up, it will become utterly-centralized (even though network consensus is done by miners, not economic holders). Banks should be more than happy with how Bitcoin is doing now. Even a staunch critic like JP Morgan is changing its view towards BTC. If the pioneer cryptocurrency was decentralized as it was in the early days, do you think banks will support it? I guess not. People are missing the big picture of the ETFs. It's not about making money, but rather controlling everything. I sure hope we come to our senses before it's too late. With CBDCs on the way, don't expect banks to go anywhere soon. Sad

I don't deny that an ETF will make bitcoin more centralized, but banks are just a business and what they seek is profit, so why would they accept bitcoin if it doesn't bring benefits , profit for them? Just like you, if bitcoin does not bring you benefits or profits, will you protect it and invest in it ? I bet you won't either.
134  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Day trading or Long term on: May 29, 2024, 09:40:26 AM
Short-term trading is not easy and not everyone can profit from it. It requires a lot of knowledge, skills and experience, and even experienced people cannot guarantee profits when trading because the market is very unpredictable . What I see is that the majority only prefer long-term , very few people choose trading or both. If you can take advantage of both and profit from both then you are a very good investor, but there is nothing wrong with many people choosing to hold for the long term instead of choosing both . Not to mention , not everyone spends all their time on the market, most have outside jobs so holding for the long term will be a better choice.

If we talk about Bitcoin then there is lot of evidence available that success lies in long term trading and there is very little probability of getting success if you are a short term trader. Just see results of DCA or Lump Sum over a period of 5 or more years and one can easily figure out why it's important to invest for long term in Bitcoin. Those who don't have much time to look market on daily basis, it's best for them to invest for long term. In this way they can guarantee themselves good profit and also free themselves from hassle of looking into market on daily basis.   

Yes, we have heard of many people becoming rich through bitcoin but most are long term holders, I have not seen or heard any stories about someone becoming rich through trading short term with bitcoin or any altcoins. That shows that long-term investing is always a much better choice than short-term trading.

I am not against someone engaging in short-term trading but it is clearly not a good option if we want to get rich with bitcoin. Short-term trading is only suitable for us to take advantage of to make small profits in a short time, never think that thanks to it we will become rich. That's too risky because we all know that bitcoin is very volatile and unpredictable in the short term.

Chelsea is closing in on the Enzo Maresca signing for the manager seat. After promoting to the Premier League with Leicester he has drawn the attention to himself. Normally I wasn't expecting Chelsea to go for him.

But on the other hand Chelsea is looking for young managers like I said before. So it should be understandable. However I'm still thinking like rather than such move, Chelsea should prioritize a move for Conte.  Smiley  If they offer him a contract I think he would think of it seriously as he won a Premier League with them before. Otherwise it seems like Napoli is trying to finalize a deal with Conte recently. They say Napoli is close to making the deal official now.

They should get it done completely, if this is the coach they have plans with for the next few years, then I believe they'll do just fine. This Enzo Maresca one time worked under or with Josep Pep Guardiola as his assistant coach and he is also Italian who I know are always tactically sound and and will do a good job.

Talking about Italian coaches brings me good memories of Antonio Conte anf the season he was in charge of Chelsea. I hope to see same with Enzo Marasca but he'll definitely face challenges when he arrives. I have seen games he handles and how tactically brilliant he's been with Leicester City. I'm already positive to say they'll compete hard for the Premier League Competition next season. They have a pretty talented squad of players now they've gotten a good coach to lead em.

Yeah, Antonio Conte has not plans in the Premier League Competition, I would love to see what he can achieve with them since they'll not be involved in any of the European Competitions for next season.

Chelsea have agreed to appoint Enzo Maresca as new head coach, here we go!

So the deal has already been finalized, this was probably a good decision made by Chelsea. I cannot say for sure if it was a good decision or not because I have no idea how he is going to perform with Chelsea as a manager. If he is able to bring in good results then of course he is a great signing. But if he is unable to bring in good results or results that are expected, it is going to be a problem. Of course, Chelsea will have to pay compensation. But whatever happens, if he is able to bring in good results, I think it is going to be great for Chelsea. And I am pretty sure that he is definitely going to start better compared to how Chelsea started in the last season.

Bochum managed to turn things around by beating Fortuna Düsseldorf via a penalty shootout. It's amazing that no one thought that Fortuna Düsseldorf would fail to qualify for the Bundeliga next season, even though in the first leg they played very well when they hosted Bochum and they won at Bochum's home ground but instead they lost at home.
In the second match Fortuna Düsseldorf was the host, but no one expected Bochum to play optimally last night, the 0-3 defeat at home did not have a bad impact on the mentality of the Bochum players, but what happened was that Bochum managed to equalize so this match had to be continued to penalty shootout which resulted in Fortuna Düsseldorf losing 5-6 to Bochum, which means Bochum can still survive in the Bundesliga next season.

This is the team's mentality that makes everything different, Bochum proved that they are more worthy of staying in the Bundesliga next season, this was a very dramatic match.
Next season, the Bundesliga will welcome two new teams from the Bundesliga 2, St. Pauli and Holstein Kiel. St. Pauli will return to the top flight after a 13-year absence. Their fans definitely will be eager and anticipating their comeback, hoping that the team can establish themselves and avoid a quick relegation. For Holstein Kiel, their promotion is historic, marking their first-ever appearance in the Bundesliga. However, their main goal will be survival, which will require strengthening their squad to compete with the already established teams in the top league.

 The playoff stage saw Bochum, who finished 16th in the Bundesliga, face off against Fortuna Düsseldorf. The first leg took place at Bochum's home ground, giving them an opportunity to the host advantage. Also, it was not an easy task, as Fortuna Düsseldorf did their best to be very impressive in the Bundesliga 2 and this play off game this season. Bochum needed to be extra cautious of Fortuna's top scorer, Christos Tzolis, who had been in top form, including a hat-trick in their recent victory over Magdeburg.

 Bochum's home advantage was not really important because they lost wholly in the first leg and they had in mind that they'll need to be at their best to outdo a strong and confident Düsseldorf side in the second leg. The outcome of this playoff will determine who earns a spot in the Bundesliga, making it a high-stakes encounter for both teams. In the second leg game, yes suffering a defeat ahead, they put their best to equalizing and even winning the game on penalties. The result of the encounter clearly proves the class and level difference of both teams.

First of all, it was a great comeback from Bochum in the second leg. there is almost 0 chance that they will be able to pull that off. Philipp Hofmann was on fire in this match, scoring 2 goals single-handedly, and then Kevin Stöger neutralized the score. After that, they were able to win on penalties. It must feel great for them to actually be able to stay in the Bundesliga. I do not think there is anything to actually talk about when it comes to that advantage for a certain team. The way I see it is the team which got beaten pretty badly in the first leg was able to make a very very good comeback in the second leg. they definitely deserved the win that they got. Some people might say that they got the win by penalties, that’s why a lot of people say that they did not deserve to win. Just like some people said Argentina did not deserve to win the World Cup because they actually won in penalties. They forget that penalties are also a very crucial part of the game.

But I will say this, I somewhat did not expect this to be so competitive. I actually thought that Bochum would be able to win pretty easily or at least not going to face this much problem.

Here we go. Another unexpected thing is coming again. According to the latest rumor, Ratcliff has contacted De Zerbi to be a successor for ten hag if club will sack him. If this report is correct, ten hags will be fired by manchester united. Manchester United fans must be welcoming him as a new coach when it becomes a reality. I know t's hard to accept it.
It's unbelievable that after Chelsea that tries to contact Maresca to be Pochettino's successor. I can't believe it now. im only wondering what all of United fans think about this.

I know that if majority of people may be disagree with it but let's see what's gonna do by manchester united in the approaching days.
I'm expecting some surprising news as soon as possible.


Quote
Former Brighton & Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi has reportedly emerged as a surprise candidate to replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.

I hope that they are going to change the coach at least. he is going to be definitely an improvement for them compared to Ten Hag. Even though I have not seen much from the coach that we are talking about here. but I still think that he is at least not going to bring such bad results as Ten Hag has actually brought for this club. 

but at the same time, I will also say that Manchester United can definitely get a coach who is even better than him. Probably the only problem is that the recent record of Manchester United is not very good and probably that's why good coaches are not very interested in working with Manchester United at this moment.  I just hope that they do not keep the current coach that they have just because they were able to win the FA Cup final.

I have heard this name being linked with Manchester United quite a few times now. So I think this has the potential to end up happening. At first, I thought he was more interested in managing Barcelona. Especially when Xavi said that he was going to leave Barcelona. At that time his name came up with Barcelona.

But now it seems like Manchester United are far more interested in him compared to Barcelona. That is definitely not a bad thing. Manchester United can get him before Barcelona ends up making any kind of deal with him, good for Manchester United. At the same time it is also true that when Xavi ended up saying that he is not going to leave Barcelona, De Zerbi was actually being pursued by Manchester United. I do not think there is anything wrong Manchester United is actually able to get him. At the end of the day, the finalization of the contract is everything.

Of course, I will agree that the whole Manchester United should be very welcoming to the new coach, whoever it is. Because if the new coach does not fail he is welcomed, it is going to have a bad psychological effect on him and that might bring bad results for Manchester United

Today second match of Women ODI competition was finished among Pakistan women sqaud England women sqaud and both these already played first match but this match was successfully completed we did not see any kind of interruption like bad weather situation. But second match of this competition finished with no outcome and this match was effected by rain and first inning has been playing on crease and this match was played Pakistan women squad. If their first batting inning had been completed and then rain interrupted we could have estimated Pakistan women squad chances of winning by looking at their performance and Defeating target they gave. But sadly after playing almost 7 overs this match was stopped and in these overs Pakistan women squad collected 28 scores this was the starting today I believe that Pakistan women squad was emerged victorious if this match has been completed.

Now we see third match which will be play after few days and let's watch out in this match Pakistan women squad have good chance now for tie this competition.
Second women cricket match between Pakistan and England was disappointing because rain stopped play and no winner was decided. Pakistan started well scoring 29 runs in 7 overs but the match was stopped leaving us to wonder what might have happened. It is frustrating when weather affects match especially when Pakistan women team was doing well.
By the way we should still recognize team abilities. If match had continued Pakistan might have won considering how well they were playing but not sure because England already played well in past and we know that they have won the series with 3-0 from Pakistan. Well next match is new chance for Pakistan to come back and tie competition. So let's see what will they do in the third ODI.

I actually do not think that the Pakistan women's team could actually win the second match if the match was actually played. Because  England women’s team is actually far better compared to the women’s team of Pakistan. So  even if the Pakistan women’s team actually had given a big target to the England women’s team, still the England women would have been able to chase the target.

England women are actually going to be able to win the final ODI and win the series as well. if the second match was actually played, England women’s team would have made sure that they won the series in the second match already. But  the third match is going to be the match that will finally decide England women as the winner of this series. I definitely do not think Pakistan women are actually going to win the last match. But I am expecting Pakistan women’s team to perform well and give their everything since it is a match which they have to win to make sure that they do not lose the series. I hope the third match will be played in the first place by the way.

The major difference between them is that day trading tend to make profit from small market volatility, while hodling make profit from the bigger change in crypto value.
  Day trading involves more techniques, self discipline and rational decision making.
Which do you prefer and think is better


Why not do both? Nothing prevents you from exercising those two (2) options are once. These options are meant to be exercised successively; not that day trading bars you from doing long-term HODLing.

At this stage of our investment, it is definitely recommended that we be smart with our expenses. When we mean "smart", it means that we have to exercise all the possible means in order to maximize every opportunity of profit on our end.

OP I do believe that you have experience on day trading albeit you incur small profits like what you mentioned. Though that may be the case, a profit is still a profit. While you are doing your day trading, you must also maximize and increase your long-term investments for profit at a designated time when you decide to sell those cryptocurrencies.


That's why it can be done at the same time, and most traders here in the crypto space do both day trades and long-term trades. I don't believe that crypto traders only make
one of those two choices.

It's the same thing that can bring us profit; there is something on a daily basis, and there is also something that may be large in the future as long as you are sure of the potential of the crypto assets that you will hold in the long term, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others that are top altcoins.

Short-term trading is not easy and not everyone can profit from it. It requires a lot of knowledge, skills and experience, and even experienced people cannot guarantee profits when trading because the market is very unpredictable . What I see is that the majority only prefer long-term , very few people choose trading or both. If you can take advantage of both and profit from both then you are a very good investor, but there is nothing wrong with many people choosing to hold for the long term instead of choosing both . Not to mention , not everyone spends all their time on the market, most have outside jobs so holding for the long term will be a better choice.

It is difficult to find a P2P exchange for such a large amount. You should also be aware that you cannot venture to buy this huge amount via P2P unless you completely trust the other party. You should also take into consideration that most people do not want to sell Bitcoin at the present time with this price.

Even decentralized exchanges may not have enough liquidity, so it is better to go to centralized exchanges because they have enough liquidity, but most likely you will encounter KYC.
I don’t bite what is OP’s telling about. If he has really that huge amount and thinking to go all in with bitcoin, then he must not be thinking that this is not the best time to buy. He might only resort into regretting buying today and end up seeing btc price tomorrow consistently drop its value.

Also, I doubt it if there will be enough btc that he can buy at that amount from a single exchange, but if he will do DCA consistently, I’m sure he will be able to collect bitcoin every now and then until he’ll used up all his money. Buying bitcoin with a large amount is actually very risky, but if he understands the volatile nature and is going to hold longer without planning to sell yet, then maybe he could lessen the risk.

Bitcoin trading volume is approaching $20 billion per day, so there will always be enough bitcoin for anyone who wants to buy in large quantities. But the problem is that apart from OTC trading, only centralized exchanges provide massive liquidity and if he doesn't want KYC then buying that large amount is very difficult. 

But honestly, I'm skeptical and don't believe what the OP said. I don't believe that a person who owns such a large amount of money and wants to invest doesn't have a financial advisor or guide. No one is so naive as to seek help on social networks and advice from strangers.
