1201  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH gas fees are a joke. on: April 19, 2023, 03:27:17 PM

I thought the so-called ethereuem network migration from proof of work to proof of stake will solve their network problems and to hear that ethereum holders still have to pay high gas fees for transactions is a show off of how the so-called proof of stake propaganda was a failed experiment.


It's just your thoughts and the mistakes of many others regarding ETH's POW to POS migration. The ETH team did not mention that gas fees will drop after the POS migration, and they have said that gas fees will be resolved soon with future updates. I don't know exactly which update they mentioned and when it happens, but they never said when switching to POW, the gas fee will drop. POW or POS both have their pros and cons, none of which is perfect.

1202  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 17, 2023, 07:13:43 PM
snip
They won their last Serie A game like six weeks ago, but for some reason they beat Benfica in the first leg. This is odd and I think it is quite some time ago that I saw a team performing so bad, but still being in the champions league and still top five in the Serie A. In the last five games there is only one team that was as bad as Inter and that was Lecce. Additionally they are still in the Coppa as well and the result wasn't too bad in Turin either! Cheesy

Now they are losing game after game but perform decently in the other competitions. It must be a touch decision for the management to stick to Inzaghi, but what are you going to do when you can still win two titles but play bad in the league? You can't even sack him... Cheesy
But they should at least give him a warning that they are expecting better things from him in the future, right? If he is not warned, I believe he will not probably be serious about his approach. It is not acceptable, the way they are performing in league competitions.

Both Milan teams (AC Milan and Inter Milan) are falling behind two Rome teams (Lazio and Roma) and their gaps with Lazio at the second position becomes bigger in last several weeks. AS Roma just have a big win against Udinese that helps them to increase a gap with AC Milan to 3 points. I don't say it is a safe gap for AS Roma but at least, they can hold their third position at least one more week day without any risk of take over from AC Milan.

Not only Inter Milan but also Juventus are very likely to lose their chance to participate in top four. Juventus hope is over and they will have to focus on Europa League. They won Benfica 1 - 0 in Turin and will have to get a draw at least in Portugal to join semi final stage of Europa League.
There has been a big turn of events in this league. The expected results are not being delivered by the teams. The top teams are losing matches one after another. I really have no idea how that table is going to look at the end of the season. But one thing I really want to see is Juventus finishing in the top four.

Inter is just not good right now. The inconsistency is absolutely unbelievable. They have not performed well at all in Serie A. In the last five matches, they do not have a single win. This is not going to get them to finish in the top four. They are certainly grateful to finish outside the top four if they do not start performing better immediately.
Milan is not currently facing too much pressure from Inter at all because currently Inter is not performing well, and that is indirectly being very helpful for Milan. Atalanta will surely try to win the next match by a goal difference of at least 2 because that is going to take them ahead of Inter.
I don't really care about Inter's loss against Monza, but what concerns me is what happened to AC Milan. When Milan have the chance to add more points, it's always as I think, they didn't win. Maybe A draw is a better results than a loss, but while AC Milan still needs a lot of points to lock in 4th place, they still show an annoying inconsistency.
AC Milan has always been like that. The last season they were very lucky to actually win the title. But this time the luck is finally running out for them in my opinion. Almost all the teams have been inconsistent this season, except for two, Napoli and Juventus Smiley.

Pakistan vs Newzealand 3rd t20 is going to start at 9 after 2 hours almost , last two matches were won by Pakistan easily and they totally controlled the game . Newzealand balling side is OK they are somehow controlling Pakistan runs but their batting is totally out of order the reason they are loosing .
Looking forward to some competition in today's game .
I don't see that New Zealand team can play any better than this. This time the New Zealand team is batting first but still not able to score many runs. The score of 35/1 in the 6th over is not much that we can talk about except that they have lost only one wicket.
I guess that this New Zealand team is not capable of beating Pakistan; they should rather focus more on security than on the game.
If Pakistan wins this match, then they will win the series too and it will put the nail in the coffin to the oppositon security concerns.

There is no doubt that Pakistan is in trouble in this match. Pakistan is currently chasing a target and they have already lost two important wickets in the process. It is also worth noting that the record run rate is already above nine. It looks like the target right now is going to be a pretty big one.

It is still too early to make any assumptions at this point in time. But there is no doubt in my mind that New Zealand has a very good chance of winning this match. New Zealand gave a good effort in a match that was a Do or Die situation for them.

After achieving success in football, Saudi Arabia also wants to work with cricket. That is, Saudi Arabia wants to organize domestic T20 cricket on a much larger scale in their country.  Australia's top news media "The Sydney Morning Herald" published such news. According to them, the domestic T20 league of their country will be organized in a much more grand manner than the IPL. Where all the famous cricketers of the world can be seen performing.
"The Sydney Morning Herald" revealed that the special committee of Saudi Arabia has already discussed this with the BCCI.  
Not only limited to this, the current chairman Greg Barclay of the ICC said,
"You should look at other sports related to Saudi Arabia. They are coming forward in every game. I think the cricket event will be more interesting in their country. Such a league would be good for Saudi Arabia given the way they are approaching the sport. Interested in investing in the sport and the potential of cricket in their country regionally".  
If Saudi Arabia has taken the initiative in this regard then surely they will implement this concern. And the cricket world will enjoy another IPL-like T20 tournament.
There is no doubt now we have a young crown prince who is already involved in many controversies and trying to change image of this kingdom and himself but it's never been easy because right now if any country wants to have the biggest franchise league in cricket it's not possible without India, and they are already announces their players never been involved in this league so most chances this could be not going to happen even if we have something this could be not near the IPL, but they can achieve some better figures due to their huge influence in few countries like they have in soccer and also their huge investments can do something.
But I guess this could be not near the IPL anyhow and ICC also can't do anything mean they will never be direct party in this case with they have no enough power to force other boards for this franchise league in near future.

One thing we know for sure is that Saudi Arabia is in this for money. They are approaching this from a business mindset. And I believe that’s why they will have success because they will only be interested in making the show better for people so that the revenue is the greatest.

For the investors, I believe the show is going to be great no matter what. And of course, they are going to pay the players a lot of money. So there is no reason for any player to not be in the T20 tournament.
1205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: April 17, 2023, 05:57:03 PM
There are some speculations about Aurelien Tchouameni this time like he might leave the team for a good price in the summer. But I don't see any meaning in this at all. It is claimed he doesn't get many chances in Real Madrid lineup this season but I don't agree with this. He has played in so many matches so far and he played for a really good amount of time as well. He just didn't play for long in the last two Champions League matches that's all.
While there are Kroos and Modric in the team it isn't easy to play for 90 minutes in all matches of course. Tchouameni just needs to be patient until the end of the season to be a completely regular midfielder in the starting eleven. Because the contracts of the Kroos - Modric duo are ending by this summer and I don't think Real Madrid will extend any of them.
Now it is time to give more chances to the much younger midfielders who they signed with this aim.
Sometimes some players are just not happy with their situation in a club. I mean he is given time, and when Kroos and Modric leaves then he will be given even more time and he has great friends around him as well like camavinga and valverde that are young like him as well, so he "should" be happy and stay.
But maybe he is just not happy at all? I wouldn't know, I am just guessing based on this rumor, maybe right now he is super happy and will stay with the team and we are talking about something that won't happen. But, if it really happens then we are going to definitely see a player that was unhappy with his surroundings if he leaves, because no football reason is logical for him to leave, he is in the perfect position right now.

Personally, I believe this is just a rumor. There are a lot of rumors going around about a lot of players, which are certainly not true. I do not know for sure, but I really feel like this is just another rumor like that.

I think he is getting good enough chances in Real Madrid. And even if he is not being played in every single match, it is Real Madrid. What does anyone expect?

If there are better players, for that position, or even if there are certain tactics being implemented in a game where another player is best suited instead of him, they are obviously going to bench him.
1206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 16, 2023, 11:31:33 PM
Maybe Milan was still good enough to get a draw in yesterday's game, but for Inter I don't understand what exactly is going on at this club anymore. They have always been deadlocked in the last few matches of Serie A, especially when they came against teams much weaker than them and their most recent defeat was losing to Monza with a narrow score of 0-1.
On the other hand, even though Inter had just beaten Benfica on the champions league stage, when they returned to Serie A they again became a team with poor performance. After several months they were in the top 4 and finally now they have to be willing to drop to 5th in the standings, but their position will not be secure until next week because Atalanta are ready to replace it.
After Milan's draw, although their team will not be adversely affected, the opposition team is very under-performing compared to them, so Milan team needed to win this match. However, I hope that the Milan team will correct their mistakes and play the next matches responsibly and ensure victory.

Inter is just not good right now. The inconsistency is absolutely unbelievable. They have not performed well at all in Serie A. In the last five matches, they do not have a single win. This is not going to get them to finish in the top four. They are certainly grateful to finish outside the top four if they do not start performing better immediately.

Yes we can consider Afghanistan as a poor country. But this is a good thing that in this situation (means you know the condition of Afghanistan and its economic crisis) this country team is playing. This is a good thing. And this is good thing and we are looking that this team is growing slowly but growing. And hope it will grow more.
The case with Afghanistan is a bit tricky. After the Taliban took over administration, the ICC refused to release any payments to the Afghanistan Cricket Board. They are receiving some minor funding from the Asian Cricket Council, but apart from that the ACB has been running low on money for some time now. ECB and CA are adamant that the funding should be released only after ACB could guarantee women's participation in cricket. The future looks uncertain for now, and most of the national team players have moved out to countries such as the United Arab Emirates.

I still remember that Afghanistan had to play a certain ICC tournament (most probably a world cup) just depending upon the money that Nabi was giving the team. ICC should really think about Afghanistan as a serious regular cricket playing country. Because they certainly does have the potential to be one of the best in the world.

The problem is the infrastructure is not good at all. Other than the main 11, I don't think they have world class players like that coming up. And even though they have a lot of potential, who are the ICC giving money to?  USA and other teams that basically don't have negative players in the team. Now tell me how that's fair!
1208  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in Bitcoin by selling wife's jewelry on: April 16, 2023, 05:10:10 AM

This depends completely on the purpose of the investment. The good thing about investing in BTC is that its value can be easily converted to cash by engaging in p2p exchanges and services in the event that they need the money for some urgent purpose.

I am sure @OP is somehow happy with his investment now that Bitcoin has increased in price from the date he sold his wife jewelry to invest in Bitcoin.  The move is not in vain and proven to be profitable.  I wonder if @OP is planning to cash out the profit of his investment or stay to hodl the Bitcoin investment until the next Bitcoin uptrend.

Personally, I would have done the same thing if I have the luxury of having jewelries that can be disposed of for investment purposes. While precious metals are already considered as investments, I still prefer investing in cryptocurrencies due to its volatility- either investing for short/long-term depending on its price on the market.

I would do the same but I will invest not because of its volatility but rather because Bitcoin market is in the late bear market or early bull market and Bitcoin is a known trend that it will increase in price after halving and the possible breaking of ATH a year after the halving. 

If he had sold his wife's jewelry then and invested in bitcoin, he would have made a profit now. But I won't be like him because we don't know what will happen with bitcoin in the future. What if bitcoin doesn't go up but goes down? What will happen to the wife's jewelry?

There is no certainty that we are at the end of bear season and bull season is coming. If you can be sure, why not sell your house or property to invest in bitcoin? Don't forget the saying we still remind newbies every day "Only invest with what we can lose"
1209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: April 15, 2023, 10:24:12 AM
of the many fights there will be I'm thinking of adding this one to my parlay:

Clay Guida - Rafa Garcia
Clay Guida is a guy who already has a very advanced age, he is 41 years old (honestly, it was time for him to retire) and he also has a long professional career because he started in 2003 as a professional athlete and had 60 fights of which he won 38 fights and lost in 22 fights and only had 7 wins by knockout, 16 wins by decision and 14 wins by submission and has great skill in wrestling and grappling. while his opponent Rafa García who is much younger is 28 years old and started his professional career in 2014 and has had 17 fights in which he won 14 fights 3 defeats. Rafa García only managed to win by knockout in just one fight, he had 8 wins by submission and 5 wins by decision

well, Rafa García doesn't have strong punches, from what I could see and he doesn't have a good defense and Clay Guida has a lot of experience and has less good results compared to rafa garcia, in case I decide to bet on this fight I'll consider betting on rafa garcia due to the fact that he is younger but I still see a great imbalance in the odds values, since I don't see rafa garcia as much superior to clay guida, for me the odds should be more balanced in this fight, anyway I still have time to decide whether to add to my parlay or not

Clay Guida is certainly really old right now. That might be a bad thing for him going into this fight. But we all know with age comes experience. And he is certainly an experienced individual. He also has better punches compared to his opponent.

But this is a fighting game. And in this game, I don’t think experience matters too much. Actually, young is going better success. Because after all, this is not a street fight. This is mixed martial arts with the same weight category and also some rules and regulations.

So my prediction is that Rafa Garcia is going to be the winner of this fight. Even though I am a little concerned about the defense of him, I think he should be able to overcome that problem.
1210  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you withdraw bitcoin this week? on: April 15, 2023, 08:39:58 AM
~
Well I sold mine for just a little amounts and withdrew it to my local currency for obvious reasons. I don't really do this a lot, but there will be times that I might need money for personal reasons and I don't think that holding the pride of being true hodler is worth over encountering worse situations in my own personal life.

I would buy back anyway on what I sold whenever the price just went a little below on the price I sold into.

this is something that normally happens because indeed if the situation is bad in our economy of course we sell some bptcoin which is already in the profit figure from the previous price, for example I bought at the end of January and sold bitcoin a few days ago to take profits because of an urgent need , I think it's not wrong and there's no need to be in trouble because that's how I use the bitcoin that I bought, I'm not much like you bro, than we hold the bitcoin we have to get bigger profits while there are many problems in life that needs to be resolved and bitcoin is the solution for that.
I also always buy back if I have extra cash and the price is below average.

Well, you had an urgent need for money and you sold your bitcoin in profit, there is nothing wrong in it. The good thing is that the Bitcoin price was above your buying price at the time you needed to sell your coins. Otherwise, you might have to sell your bitcoins in loss as you needed the money in any case.

However, there are people who bought bitcoin near 20,000$ and they sold at 30,000$ and thought they should do some profit taking. Nothing wrong with that approach too but I would say why would anyone sell Bitcoin at 30,000$ when they may get a chance to sell at 100,000$ in a year or two? If your vision is long term, you should not get excited and cash out at only 1.5x.

Because they believe in their ability, they believe in their ability to analyze the market, I mean, they will take profits and continue to wait for the market to correct to buy back at a lower price. Like you, you want to hold until bitcoin hits $100k to sell, but then you'll also buy back bitcoins at a better price. Why don't you wait for bitcoin to reach 200k or 300k and sell at that price? Will you be more profitable? Everyone has a different investment style, and as long as we are satisfied with the return, it is a success.
1211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can owning 1 Bitcoin make you rich in 2023? on: April 15, 2023, 08:27:20 AM
No matter what country you live in, in the current context, you cannot write your name on the list of riches with one BTC.  Now the price of one Bitcoin is around $31$. Let's assume that by the end of this year, one BTC will be worth $60K. If you convert this $60K to the local currency of your country, your life will not be single with the amount of money. But I think you should never think that you will become rich with one BTC.  

We have third world countries individuals on the forum and that $60k is worth millions in their country. After they convert the Bitcoin to their local currencies, they don't have to spend all the Bitcoin. They can reinvest in other things that can make them rich.

Or they can continue holding the Bitcoin until it increases higher in price, Bitcoin is predicted to reach $100k in the next bull market and with $100k in some of this countries is a very big money that they can be called millionaires.

But I don't think we can achieve this in 2023, it'll take more than the end of year for Bitcoin to increase to a good amount to give us good profits, we have to wait for the bull market to come before we can estimate how high Bitcoin can go.

I come from a 3rd world country, and if to compare the cost of living in my country, $100k is still not a millionaire. That is quite many money for you to do many things, but becoming a millionaire is impossible.
We all invest in bitcoin to have a richer life, which means a better life than the present and past. But we can't expect investing in bitcoin to make us millionaires, or billionaires, it never will. Unless you have millions of dollars invested in the first place. Bitcoin is not an asset that can increase x100, x1000 for us to become millionaires.

Nagelsmann is certainly a qualified individual for the job. But it will be interesting to see what he can achieve with this team.  Whoever comes as the coach of the team, is going to first get a striker in my opinion. Chelsea is really suffering badly without a striker.

All things aside, it is honestly going to be a hard job to take on. I wonder if Nagelsmann is going to be very keen to take this job. After all, he was not honestly doing exceedingly well in the Bundesliga. I feel like if he is given the job, it is going to be really overhyped. And even if he does finish in the top six with Chelsea in the next season, it is going to feel like he is also a flop.

Nagelsmann seems like the biggest candidate for being Chelsea's permanent manager in the summer. Chelsea just chose to postpone their decision about this by bringing Lampard as caretaker. But they will need to make their final decision about who will manage them next season after his time runs out here. Chelsea need to be really careful about their choice this time. They shouldn't choose another Potter I mean.  Grin
The kind of manager they need is an experienced one with big teams. Nagelsmann qualifies for the job as it seems. Because he has a history with Bayern Munich and it isn't a bad history either. Maybe things didn't go just in the way they wanted in the Bundesliga this season but they were still the leader. After his journey there ended I think Chelsea can seriously think of agreeing with him for the job. I like Nagelsmann's style and he can do well with Chelsea too.

In recent ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 the last part was played in Nepal and Kirtipur cricket stadium was full of spectators. From that massive crowd participation, one can infer that cricket is a popular sports in Nepal. Nepal also finished third in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 which is there best ever performance. The good thing about having team of native players is that once your team and infrastructure is built, it will be there forever and this is not possible with team of expats.
Recently we have good development in Nepal about cricket but sadly still this is not enough for having quick results like we have in the UAE and USA because they are not rich like them, so things can bring changes but not significantly this will take time, and we can hope Nepal will be improved their quality in T20i which will bring them to better place in near future.
Recently we have the good number of matches in Kirtipur Cricket Stadium and fans were exciting about this which is also good sign for them sadly no big board in subcontinent is going ahead for the giving them better support but still they can alone win this fight which will help them for having their part in this game in near future.

Nepal has shown good improvements recently. But of course, they will have to prove themselves against bigger opponents. The only way to get recognized all around the world is to beat opponents who are better.

One example I can think of is Bangladesh. At first, they were not good enough to date anyone except Zimbabwe and Kenya. But they started getting some victories here and there against bigger opponents like Australia, England, India, and also South Africa. After that, they got the taste of victory. The main thing is, Bangladesh always tried to improve themselves. The same thing should be done by Nepal. It will also have to be as consistent as they can be.
1214  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin is a light on: April 14, 2023, 10:49:41 AM
Their is nothing wrong introducing bitcoin to people who don't have knowledge about it, but it is wrong to convince people to accept it, bitcoin is too real and too good to waste energy convincing people of it.
Bitcoin is real yes, but some people will need some extra effort to get convinced about it's credibility. It is not that these people are difficult and will not be convinced no matter how hard you try, they just require some extra information and effort. The people you should avoid the most are the people who you know just want to be difficult to convince and the stiff in beliefs, these people, no matter how the facts are in front of them will not change what they belief in, even if it is the failing traditional system. Avoid those people, do not waste your energy on them.
I think in year 2023 we do not really need to convince anyone of anything at all. I think we should be happy about what we have personally and ignore them. There are some people out there who still do not understand how they could make any profit, but that doesn't mean that we should be focusing on that at all. If they can't understand about bitcoin then they are making a mistake and shouldn't really be worried about it at all.

It will take some time before we could make a profit, but that doesn't mean that we should not be able to do it. I believe that we should be focusing on how we could profit ourselves and ignore those people who are doubting bitcoin or question its credibility when it is the most credible one out there.

It would be selfish to say such things, but I will agree with you, it is a waste of time trying to convince someone to believe in bitcoin, to invest in bitcoin in 2023. Bitcoin is not so new, it has become so obvious, and it is up to them whether they believe it or not because it is in their interest. As long as they don't regret it later and come back to complain to us, then they have the right to ignore it.

As for me, I will focus on my investing because I believe the best advice they will accept is my outcome when I invest in bitcoin. As long as they see my success investing in bitcoin, they will know what they missed and how they went wrong.
1215  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How not having money helped my Bitcoin journey on: April 14, 2023, 10:36:10 AM


I think the reason for this is that @OP is desperate to have extra source of fund if not looking for the main source of funds.  The main motivation why many of us here are giving and trying our best to learn and engage in the Bitcoin economy.

Ops point could have been better understood if he said not investing in altcoins instead of saying Bitcoin, because not investing in Bitcoin in the early stage is more of a disadvantage than it is an advantage unless you bought at the all time high, but aside from that, it's 100% better to be early that late.

What makes Bitcoin different from others is the fact that with Bitcoin even a newbie with no knowledge of Bitcoin can simply buy and hold Bitcoin for the long term without much fear or risk of losing everything, but the same can not be said of altcoins, most altcoins we know before are no longer available in the market today because of one or two things which as basically the characteristic of altcoins.

You have shown the difference when investing in bitcoin vs altcoins. But for those who are not knowledgeable about bitcoin, buying bitcoin at a high price and holding it for long is impossible. Newbies will be shocked and panic if they see bitcoin dumped and lose 70%-80%, they will also sell it in panic and heavy loss. Having money without knowledge should not invest in bitcoin, investing without knowledge is like gambling, only investing with what you understand about it.
1216  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What does it take to become a Bitcoin investor on: April 14, 2023, 10:21:34 AM
I have a close friend who recently purchased 0.8 Bitcoins and when we met he was happy and was like " I am now a Bitcoin investor"
At that point I go this question in mind ;what does it really take to become a Bitcoin investor .does it mean that if you own a considerable amount of Bitcoin in your wallet you are now a Bitcoin investor or there is more to it aside having a basic knowledge of crypto currencies

I think anyone who just owns bitcoin is an investor. Becoming a bitcoin investor is not too difficult, the more difficult thing is how to make a profit because not everyone who invests is profitable, and most people lose more than gain.
As an investor, you should take the time to improve your knowledge because that is the only way to determine whether you will succeed or fail in this market. Remember that the marketplace is a battlefield and knowledge is a weapon, there is no such thing as getting rich by luck in this marketplace.

Currency trading is undoubtedly one of the best in the world, but when compared to Bitcoin and its market there are always some things that currency traders do not dare to do because they do not know how to handle volatility, plus the volume is not consolidated. in Bitcoin, unless you have the resources to do it, which the whales do have, all these things are what make both markets different in a sense, apart from the fact that the Bitcoin market is hardly accepted by some economists, but it is something that can be dealt with.
Bitcoin is also a currency but as you said, it is more volatile but this isn't a bad thing. If there are people who don't have experience in Forex but have entered immediately in Bitcoin trading, then why not those Forex traders? They already know the concept of buying low and selling high, but Bitcoin is only more extreme in terms of it but if they master it, they can earn faster and better than in Forex.

Bitcoins are not a new thing anymore. Many people around the world have engaged with it so its volume is now huge. Forex traders have a capital and in Bitcoin, a big capital is not necessarily needed because we can still buy Bitcoin in smaller portions. We must only take note of the transaction fees. Some economists can hate BTC but will their opinion matter? No. Bitcoin is still legal on many countries and as long as our country is one of it, we can be able to try it.

I have a friend who has been in the forex market for 7 years and is making a lot of profit from it. I mentioned that he should try trading with bitcoin, but after much research, he still refuses. His reason is that he can analyze all forex trading pairs. But he can't make an exact judgment on bitcoin, as bitcoin is still a market manipulated rather than determined by supply and demand. Therefore, determining the direction of bitcoin will be more difficult with forex.
Bitcoin has a large trading volume compared to altcoins but is still very small compared to forex and more susceptible to manipulation, so I agree with my friend's argument.

... but newbies prefer HODL I guess if I'm not mistaken because that's the easiest way to make profits in the long run if you do have a lot of patient as well.

I don't think newbies like HODL because newbies are people who don't have much experience but always want to make money quickly. Most newbies will start with trading, especially futures trading, because they think that just buying low and selling high will be profitable and won't take too long. But after having a bad experience in trading, they start thinking about holding for a long as it is less risky as well as better return.
To be honest, some people in my locality get rich with bitcoin, but mostly holding, I haven't seen anyone get rich through trading, so I'm also a long-term holder.

The Raptors took the lead in the first half, and it was the Raptors that dominated the game until the final quarter. But as we entered the final period, the Chiacago Bulls started to play unbelievably. Thanks to Zach Lavine and Demar Derozan, the Bulls managed to beat their opponent Smiley
They managed to come back in the game where they fell 19 points. The season is over for the Raptors, the Chicago Bulls still have a chance

It was definitely the last quarter when the Raptors lost the game. Even in the third quarter, it did not feel like the Bulls were going to win the game. Great performance by LaVine. DeRozan also helped him a lot. The Raptors certainly had a good performance but in vain. This was certainly a very good comeback by the Bulls. I believe if the Bulls can perform confidently, which they should after this game, they certainly have a chance this season.

I think with the amount of shiba inu that you have now, it's quite a lot, me myself are skeptical about meme coins, but there's nothing wrong with believing in shiba inu, you can also allocate your funds to other altcoins that are not just meme coins, for example BNB

It only cost me £270 for the 20 million shib I have - I still only have this amount.

Will be happy with a 5x from current price but it could go a lot higher

If you are ready for the risks, you should hold for as long as possible. Many people think that memecoin is dead and this trend will never be used again. But they forgot one thing dogecoin even existed before the top altcoins today and is still used more than the altcoins we call potential, like EOS and LISK...Investing in memes is a big risk, but if you choose the right project, its returns can help you retire earlier than expected. As long as the crypto market remains manipulated, memecoins will always be the preferred choice of market makers. Shiba and doge are coins that we should have some in our portfolio to try our luck.
