1203  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Up Move Incoming on: October 11, 2023, 08:10:03 PM
As the topic title says, here is a Daily Timeframe chart that shows how Bitcoin broke the resistance trendline and is now at a great 0.33 Fibonacci support level.
It will be going up for sure from here and the first target will be the 0.66 Fibonacci Level i.e. $29.4k and then $31k.



You see Fibonacci support level, I see Fibonacci retracement levels and if this is correct..

this is actually saying the price will pull back ~50% to 70% and then continue going down based on the given market structure, unless it breaks price at the 100% retracement. 

Let me know what do you think is about to happen.
By eyeballing the charts, for me price becomes bullish the second it closes above $28500 as this is a clear shift of momentum which should influence more buyers to come in and push the price further up, otherwise we are still caught up in the bearish run,

1205  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is a Standing Desk the Right Choice for Traders? on: October 11, 2023, 06:00:22 PM

But here's a question for you, fellow Bitcointalk traders: Does standing really help make better and faster decisions in the high-speed trading world?

Honestly there's a whole lot of stuff that goes with a great trading session, good mental health, enough sleep/rest, no distractions etcetera and without any of this no matter how much you stand these could negatively affect your decision making !!!!

Besides if you going at chart's only for the high liquidity sessions ie the New York session or London session you might stand the session out but if you will be looking at the charts for several hours I don't think you will focus.


Have you tried it, and did it work for you?
Not a fan of standing as I know standing for too long puts pressure on your feet.

Or do you believe that the comfort of a super ergonomic chair is the key to staying sharp during those long trading hours?
Lol ergonomic chairs just give you a fancy experience and won't enhance your skills in any way, you don't believe me ask games who invest in these the most.
1206  Other / Meta / Re: bitcoin discussion board have lot of unecessary questions on: October 11, 2023, 04:09:51 PM
My observation centres around merit as it seems like of late very few are going round the forum and users seem to have realised that topic starters in these boards have higher chances of farming merit than making actual contributions on these threads hence the raise in new topics.

Besides you can tell if these unnecessary questions die a natural death because 7/10 times the question has been asked before and is just been repeated via paraphrasing.

If you find any posts that you think are not worthy to be on that board, then report them to the mods.
The immediate solution:)
1207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: October 11, 2023, 03:51:31 PM
Gambling is a place to spend money, although many gamblers consider casinos to be a place to earn money. But in reality, more gamblers lose their money at casinos or gambling sites. So I think all of us here probably have almost the same experience, namely losing a lot of money gambling
We all have had the gambling experience but totally different stories to tell.. besides it's not a situation of one shoe fits all, and as far as I know, everyone has their own way of getting luck on their side and don't believe we are all running in losses as the assumption above!!

Besides I think people who are more of sports gambling have better luck than the casino games because risk factor is naturally high here.

I also lost money because I lost on gambling, but maybe not that much. But I know there are people who spend a lot of money for gambling. In your opinion, what should we do if we have lost a lot of money on gambling? Do we keep gambling to win so we can cover up previous losses? or stop and work normally and leave gambling? Or do you have other suggestions?
Bad days are very normal and if you have one of those days that you lose alot then better try on a different day to see if luck is on your side.
1208  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is Bitcoin really risky as they say? on: October 11, 2023, 05:23:28 AM
Generally, most people sees Bitcoin as being of high risk , meanwhile, others tend to disagree with the fact of being risky.
We can't dispel this fact as risk is definitely there...if you don't use good security measures to protect your coins then risk of being hacked will exist, if you use a hot wallet and happen to use a computer to surf the internet the risk of being phished does exist, and the fact the scammers and hackers are out there looking for their next target..risk will always exist.

Bitcoin can be understood from different angles on how it will become beneficial to one. Either as a store of value(So as to avoid taxes), Investment or means of payment.
Store of value to avoid taxes can never be the understanding of store of value, afaik this is in the lines of holding or locking in value to avoid a local currency from further depreciation because of inflation or whatever reasons!!

I believe there are a lot of different ways to invest your time and money, with a little work and the right teacher, one can easily invest in bitcoin.
Agreed.

That's one way to honour thy parents by gifting them a house, but as an individual you can not take shortcuts in life...trust the process and all this will make sense in the future.
You say current resources are going to financing of your education then that's a good thing you have going and hope the grades speak for themselves to show the parents that it's money well spent and not for them to regret this investment !!

firstly I want to start my Bitcoin journey through trading, after making some money from trading I plan to invest in Bitcoin for four years. These four years I will hold my investment and also save the money earned from trading or signature campaign for four years so that after four years I can start building the house. 

You must pray for me so that I can fulfill my mother's dream.
It's good to have a positive mind but just so you know trading is no walk in the park, it needs alot of sacrifices made to succeed in it and the discipline is on another level... otherwise good luck as you conquer your crypto journey.

1210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has anyone encountered any dog race betting here? on: October 10, 2023, 08:34:55 PM
Use to see dog racing of Greyhounds on some old sportsbooks but seems it was never a popular sport which left horse racing to be the only surviving sport in this category. Probably animal rights activists did get their wish but this is my assumption...

Btw Even if we talk about horse racing today, very few bookies would say they have these game types because
few users actually play these .

I became curious for sometime now about dog racing as I have not seen it here
Especially with most of our crypto bookies, very few can

Things I tell family and friends, if you haven't entered or played any lottery and you receive a message or call saying you have won X amount yet you did not play/buy a lottery ticket then you automatically know it's a scam!!! Same principle can be applied here, you have passed KYC and documents aren't expiring soon why would an exchange request you to go through the process again without any heads up before expiry... sometimes it takes your sixth sense to see through such scams.

By the way ,with below standards of safeguarding user data why do exchanges feel compelled to carry KYC checks on clients when they themselves can't guarantee security??

1213  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Here are some forum features that I discovered after spending some time here. on: October 10, 2023, 04:13:10 PM
Let's see how well I know the forum  Roll Eyes

  • Quick edit button:  Not familiar but just tried it now and love this feature, which is far much better than hitting the edit button Smiley
  • Hide Button: I have a few local boards hidden because of the language barrier, no offence to those from those boards.
  • Forum stats: Use to use this a few years back but today I have my go to boards/threads for the extra info
  • Hide Avatars and Signature: honestly wasn't even aware of this but on the marketing side of what different projects to to achieve with this, I think it would hurt their exposure  Roll Eyes
  • Watchlist: I have used this for boards I want to see of any new content but if am not mistaken threads you comment on automatically get to your watchlist .



I don't know if anyone uses this, but here it goes!

I have seen it but never get to use it ,and seeing how it works I think am wired in such a way to first see first page before making a contribution to the topic to avoid going off topic.
1214  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading on your own vs social trading and copy trading on: October 10, 2023, 03:44:13 PM
I think that by trading on my own I am just overtrading...
Over trading  means one is trading based on emotions and not following their strategy and risk management!!!
For lack of a better term this can also be termed to be gambling and best remedy to overcome it is by limiting how much capital (number of trades) you willing to lose on a daily basis.

I am looking for options to get trading ideas/trading signals etc to analyze those ideas and select only the best ones.
Am not a fan of these signal groups and would advise you to try learn the art of trading by yourself to avoid paying out money to people that make most of their money from subscriptions than they can actually trade !!!!

What options does one have to view trading ideas/signals from other professional traders?

These services aren't free and the closest to being reliable is copytrading as you choose which trader fits your ROI target's...but still I will advocate trading on your own which is a painful journey but will reward you once you get it right.
1215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⭐⚽⭐ Sportsbet's Bitcointalk Sports Fanatics League (BSFL) – 7000+$ rewards ⭐⚽⭐ on: October 10, 2023, 02:45:23 PM
Welcome to the 3rd Season of the BSFL!

There's also a slight change in how we'll calculate the freebet round winners.
First criteria will be total points, and only the best answer in the league will be able to claim the H2H point.
Second criteria will be all the H2H duels in that round between the tied players. If the player already claimed a point for the best answer in the league in a H2H question, that one will not be counted.
These two changes of First criteria and Second criteria in regards to best answer kind of contradict each other and disadvantages whoever gets the best answer correct Roll Eyes

Perhaps my question should be what is the best answer here ??



Otherwise great rule changes for the competition
  • No reminders
  • Automatic disqualification

Btw with the automatic disqualification, this also means spreadsheet will be open much earlier correct cro2 Huh

And no mention of VAR  Roll Eyes

1218  Economy / Economics / Re: Agriculture vs oil on: October 10, 2023, 12:06:05 PM
We know the oil market is booming and countries with oil resources are really making a huge fund out of it and sometimes they do it at the negligence of another local natural resource.
Before the boom of the oil market, prices per barrel were at their lowest...but because of external factors such as the Russia Ukraine war which can be considered as an artificial factor that caused prices to spike up and don't look like will be returning back to normal anytime soon because demand has pulled price up unless over supply happens to counter demand, then it can drop.

But, of course, the agricultural sector, though not given the proper recognition and the required investment is one sector that contributes seriously to the development and dependence of most nations .

No matter how blessed a country is with oil minerals, if its agricultural sector isn't working and she has to rely on other country for her food and agricultural resources then in event of war or political differences they might suffer.
I think very few oil rich countries actually have both , and in cases of needing food ( agriculture output) trade makes it easy for any country to get what they want if they have something trade... So this basically shows each resource is equally important.

Agriculture vs oil, which is the big deal when it comes to the economic strength of a country?
Oil might be the big money deal but both play a crucial role especially knowing that very few countries have both of these resources and rely on other countries to obtain via trade and to contribute to a countries economic standing and revenue collection.
1219  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why won't the US government give up? on: October 10, 2023, 11:19:45 AM
  • what is the reason why countries are still going for CBDC when they speak of regulating bitcoin?

The government failed to control the popularity of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and in order for them to stay in the game, they would most probably issue CBDC, a digital product equivalent to paper money, while having full control over its supply just like the fiat money.
With their thirst of printing money whenever  need be,  I wonder what the total supply for the CBDC will be or they will keep minting new coins out of nothing  Roll Eyes

  • Why do the US government give up their pursuit to control bitcoin after over a decade because bitcoin is Decentralise and no one can have total control over it so won't they just give up on their pursuit?
Afaik the US government hasn't given up on this as can be seen by all these lawsuits going against exchanges of which they are trying to gain some kind of control by regulating bitcoin indirectly through exchanges , and unfortunately we all know that they can not win this fight !!
1220  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I recently convinced my employer to start paying me in BTC, it has been great on: October 10, 2023, 09:00:35 AM

Recently, I convinced them to start paying me in BTC. I save what I have to save, and convert the rest to fiat via P2P trading. Its so quicker and I get great deals, no more bullshit. I think this has been a great benefit of crypto for underdeveloped nations.
For the company to go with your preferred choice of payment, they too must be making a saving but for book keeping purposes I don't think this helps them much unless the invoice goes under as a crypto payment...

I have been accumulating bitcoin from a long time from my freelance work, but getting paid in it by my regular work feels awesome!
The writing tells the whole story, hope you onboarding other users onto the crypto boat  Cool



This sounds a bit strange to me.

I live in an underdeveloped country, but I work remotely for a fairly good web development agency. We don't have a lot of financial services/wallets here, so we had to go circumvent a lot of obstacles for me the money to get to my local bank account.

Does he pay you with black money? I find it hard to believe that a bank would have problems with you receiving income from a job, as long as it is legal and declared.
Considering Op mentioned having fewer financial services in his locality.. this could mean interbank transactions and a  possibility of delays to get this processed  hence going the Bitcoin way....
