1221  Economy / Economics / Re: Is long-term employee retention a losing battle? on: December 23, 2022, 05:31:18 AM
If I was an employer and I would have to select one of employees that apply, I would take a person whos long term working experience in one company in his record of service, instead of a person that has changed 8 jobs in a single year, plus he probably has something unofficial. I value loyalty more, compared to how huge professional other employee is. I see no point in teaching, giving experience to a person, that tends to change jobs often. There are persons that aim on a result, try to build a career. You cant hold them forever with bonuses, high salary, free coffee and etc.

But in general a lot depends from a person. I know a guy, who works in a company since it was created (for 20+ years), his boss treats him and everybody like crap, he is in a bad relations with the boss, many people have left that company, that guy can also quit, but he keeps working there.
This is a wrong approach, and could be the worst one that I have seen in a long time. It is not the amount of jobs a person had, but the quality of the job they do which an employer should care about, because if you can find that one worker which could do what is asked, and do it perfectly, and even take incentive to do a better job than being asked, provide higher quality results than expected, then you do everything in your power to keep that person.

The reality is that most work places offer everyone the same amount of money, and offer a promotion as a promise, and people leave because of that, if I am 10x good and someone is 1x good and we get paid the same amount of money but I have a higher chance to promote, that's not good enough. I changed 7 jobs in 4 years before I found my latest job, been with the same boss for 6 years now. Shows you how it matters to reward the worker who works hard.
1222  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin Destroy Crap Altcoins? on: December 22, 2022, 11:31:41 AM
I am a supporter of a theory, that Bitcoin does not destroy crap altcoins, not does any effect on them, but all those crap altcoins destroys themselves, or die itself, or have a very-very short life. Why even bother, if there is nothing behind those altcoins. Ideas isnt new or primitive. It looks that all those crap altcoins kill each other while fighting for a spot on the market. Like there is a Bitcoin that lives his own life, and there are all others that live, fight, appear and die somewhere in other place, despite everyone is being in the same crypto market.
That is sort of true. Bitcoin gives people an out from those dying ones, so it is playing just a bit of part but people would get out of them and would go into the fiat world if there wasn't bitcoin, only handful of people would stay with the dying altcoins if there was no bitcoin, and they wouldn't go to fiat. So that means all those shitcoins that die? They die because they are terrible and there is nothing that we could do to make it change in any way or shape.

That is why I believe that it is important to pick the right altcoins, if you do not know what you are doing then you are going to end up with one of them of your own and you are going to regret the day you didn't do your research well enough.

Really crazy things are happening out there. Now to you the reader, supposing you have worked for the past 5 years your current organization and you find out accidentally from the HR in your organization that what you are being paid isn't the highest amount for your position. That is, you are being underpaid, would you ask for a raise or look for another job knowing that with your experience level you'd get a higher pay in another organization?
Some time ago, I was laid off work due to the recession. I already had a good number of years at the organization and had become proficient in my area of practice. I dusted up my CV and started sending it to recruiters on LinkedIn and on other platforms. Some organizations were impressed with my CV and I got a good number of calls of interviews. I got for offers for the same position and ended up picking the organization with the higher pay. I will always go for a higher pay because from experience job security is a myth.
Wow, good for you but I think if your boss didn't lay off you, you won't have an idea to look for another company right? The recession that came, must be a blessing of disguise to some because there are better opportunity that awaits them but I know not all are like that. Not all will end up in a happy ending. I feel sorry for them but these people shouldn't give up.

I hope they can find a replacement job soon even the pay isn't that high enough. What important is that they can have something to get to survive in this tough life. The last thing that you said is not a myth. A lot of people do really want a secure job as this can give them a peace of mind.

I can understand your reasoning behind it, but I never auto cash out on Crash. It is a lot more thrill to always manually cash out but I never dare to really let it go so I always cash out pretty quickly; I think my max was like 3x lol.
With crash it is really hard to make wins, because in an event we could cash out at 3X or something. During that run it reaches 50X, and when we just leave it to crash automatically we'll experience the crash happening in less than 2X. Crash is enjoyable when spend with minimal bet values which won't hurt even if we experience continued loss.
I have played bustabit which is a similar version of it years ago and quite consistently as well, for hours per day everyday, and I can tell you that most people there had multiple bets going with multiple accounts.

Now that it is not allowed it is harder, but the idea was to cash out at 2x each time, which would be hard as it is, but at least keep it going and possibly maybe make some money, and use a small amount to not cash out at all and be the last one to get out, meaning doesn't matter how high it goes, could be 3x if everyone is out, could be 300x and still going if there is another player. That way they balanced the higher level and lower level together.
1225  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Rank positions on CMC changes every bull market? on: December 21, 2022, 12:38:11 PM
What is the crypto projects in top 20 that will fail to retain their position in the next bull market? There is a saying that in every bull market new projects will take over the top 20, do you think another project can rob the positions that Avalanche, Matic, Polkadot and Solana tomorrow?
Lol look at those new project that you are calling to be changing the market , are they successfull in long term? or just for short term?
I may trust new project but for short term only and not for Holding , I have seen them growing and falling so my trust will remain for long time running coins like Bitcoin and of course Ethereum and Binance , also considering Ripple even there are lot of problem facing.
Probably they only climb up the ranks because of hypes but once it dies down, their ranks can also fall again and the old top crypto can go back on their previous positions but there are top coins too who can go bad or can turn into a scam same with luna where they can lose their positions permanently.

Coins that are above them are now going to move in their position. New coins that are sincere (non hyped) may take some time to climb the top ranks but it's worth it because they can sustain their positions. I think cmc ranking can change at anytime depending on the coins performance, and doesn't only change right after every bull run.
1226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 21, 2022, 12:06:21 PM
Without an all-star beside Luka, he will never win a title. That's how NBA is right now. In order for a team to win, you need to have at least 2 all star player on the team. You expect them to be in the play-in tournament. I believe they might make a roster change or make some trades this season, and maybe that might change the tempo of the team. I expect them to be at the 5-8th spot. Slightly higher than your prediction.
They truly need to do quick action about it because they making some huge mistakes right now about how they play and it's not effective enough to secure a top 6 spot in the current league nowadays. The western conference is truly wild random play nowadays and some straight wins these next few days will lift them up to the top and might gonna hold it well if they managed to change their line-ups and the way they play right now of course. Surely Luka is a star player but he really needs someone to rely on to take some contested shots and clutch shots whenever he is doubled.
It's not easy to build a team around someone, look at the old Mavs when they won the title, Dirk was amazing but he didn't had superstars around him, Tyson Chandler, older Kidd and Jason Terry if I am not mistaken, these were not star level players, they were decent to be fair but they were old players that played good on their roles.

I think Luka will have very hard time waiting until a team is built around him, so he needs to start doing some recruiting himself, he needs to make sure that some other superstar wants to play with him. I always assumed that someone like Trae would be great because they are friends, and they could play well together, and a great defender at wing or even at centre.
1227  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat and crypto and stock is bs, but property is real on: December 20, 2022, 08:54:53 PM
Fiat and crypto and stock is bs, but property although is just concrete but it is real.

I know all stock investor loss money and some of them are killed, but not all property investor loss money, when Elon Musk said crypto is as bs as fiat, I challenge him to prove me property is anything resembling bs.
I get the people who like to go with the traditional route, but crypto is crypto, the profit you make is the same whereas property is not exactly the same everywhere. Buying a house in Toronto, and Detroit is VERY different and yet they are side by side, biking distance, same goes for every nation everywhere, buying property is not exactly the same method and it doesn't allow you to make it work like that neither.

This is why I have to say that it's true for some nations with some laws and such, whereas it's not true for some other nations because it's a lot more strict and problematic as well. You can talk about whatever nation you are in, but this isn't globally true.
1228  Economy / Speculation / Re: How low will BTC's market price go? on: December 20, 2022, 03:43:31 PM
I love your bullishness, we need more of it in these gloomy times.

IMO we won't see anything above 22k for another year, but I prefer to be ready for the worst if it's even possible.

I'm 100% sure of a couple things though:
We'll see another bull run in less than 3 years.
Next bull run will take us above the previous all time high
Bitcoin will never again go below the last bear market lows of 3k USD.

Knowing the above, I'm ready for whatever else I have to endure due to FUD, government attacks, market manipulation and all that. I know I've already won by holding bitcoin and I can only win more in time. There's no way for me to lose.

Make sure you hold as much bitcoin as you can and wait out the fear, as it will pass.
I disagree with that and I agree with the guy you respond to. I think bullishness is the way to go because we have been low for a long time and it is time that we start going up a bit more. I get that we have seen lower and lower prices for the past 13-14 months and that causes people some hopelessness and I get it.

But, I never give up hope on bitcoin and the bull run that we are going to have, and I believe 22k is not a year away, I think at most a few months and we are going to see that. Which is why I am fully invested, I do not have a dime that I can spare, all of my spare money is on bitcoin right now and I only have a bit left to live, because I believe it will go up a lot.

This is not making much reasonable to me. Are you comparing cryptocurrency and fiat together, like people can go everywhere making their own fiat and using it as a family money creating their own value for it or they make it for the public and whole country to use it and another individual having his currency and we have 8 billion fiat currency in the world? You see that not making any reason. To cryptocurrency that some made they are crap and shit that not worthy staying on exchange. Shocked Grin
Making your own currency in the real world is prohibited but this is more possible in the online world or here in cryptos because we are decentralized here. Many people already think of it. They create their own coin in hopes of making a profit but most of this coins are still not being used by the majority.

What people need here in crypto are coins with real utility and not just the coin can be used as a currency because we already have that starting from the main coin Bitcoin. There are still other ways to print money here in crypto. We can do investing and trading. We can also apply for in-demand blockchain/crypto jobs. Sky is only the limit on here.

Arsenal is considered the biggest team in the  Europa  league because they are the most consistent team. Gabriel Jesus is not the reason,  if Gabriel doesn't recover quick as the league is beginning it won't stop them from performing well,  because they still have good players.
We have amazing performance from Arsenal in both Premier League and Europa Cup which is clearly giving impression they are fighting hard for the success in any event which is good after long time we have good strategy from the Arsenal for winning title even now with the injury of Gabriel Jesus things looking not easy, but we have nearly 5 to 6 weeks which are enough for recovery and Arsenal management is also working on few players transfer as they are feeling bringing quality players will help them for having improvement in positive results staying into hunt for the title race as well.

As right now few players are in media for their transfer into Arsenal surely look like management is ready to spend big amount which will bring quality players and results will be surely also good.

I think from the two Mick has made a very good choice as we all know Hamilton cannot race for more than 2-3 upcoming seasons at maximum performance,he can race for much more but his performance would be on the downside rather than on the upside and Mick is just waiting for his time to come to show his skills.I see a big future for him at Mercedes and most probably at Mercedes believe in him too otherwise they would have not signed him up.

Ricciardo I think was forced to go there as he had no other options and I see him as a driver which has already gave his best in F1,he is a winner of races and even won with McLaren but unfortunately he could not get a seat for next season so he settled at Redbull once again as reserve driver.
And you imagined that Mercedes would replace Hamilton with Mick? There is absolutely no way that Mercedes would hire him, they would be able to get anyone aside from maybe Charles and Max, all other racers are fine for them, get Norris if you want, young talented driver after all.

The idea that they would get Mick to replace Hamilton is impossible, so much so that there is a chance they won't even keep him at reserve driver spot until Hamilton retires, they may get a younger better guy there as well. I still think reserve drivers should drive for F2 though, that would be a lot better and all should be there, it would definitely improve the chances.
1232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: December 19, 2022, 09:21:02 PM
It is actually a little hard to find support for women’s cricket in the Southeast Asia region. Actually, in the whole of Asia, I will say. Especially in those countries where most of the people are Muslim. Muslim countries have a lot of strict rules about women. And Muslim women also like to stay at home and contribute more to the family instead of pursuing their own career.

So, it is not that easy to find women who are genuinely interested in cricket as a profession. Obviously traditional families in this region generally do not let the female child pursue a career in a sport like cricket.

But the popularity of women’s cricket is increasing in this region day by day. Another problem is the women who are actually playing cricket. For these countries, most of them are not taking cricket as a profession. They think of cricket to be their hobby. They should be able to understand the privilege that they are getting and act accordingly.
Here I am agreed with you but still I have to clear few things as you are saying Muslim countries is surely not easy for women's but still many countries specially modest countries are doing good development for the women's sports because they are feeling they can't stop this change, so they have to follow things which are helping for improvement of life and bringing positive changes here in India is also life is never been easy for women's as they are Muslim or non-Muslim but due to propaganda they never expose many issues which never give perfect picture.

In last few years we have good changes in India and mostly happening due to social media, but life in Muslim country is never been easy with many things are going against them specially economical many countries are suffering badly and after these restrictions from western countries are also having the biggest impact on them as well.
1233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are you doing with your alt bags on: December 19, 2022, 01:12:00 PM
I hold them to be fair. I have some that are gone like literally gone to cents from hundreds of dollars and I have absolutely no hope that they would recover, they are just zero in my eye, but what am I supposed to get from selling something for 3 cents, I mean that doesn't even cover the transaction fee so isn't it normal to just keep them.
This reflects exact my stand on my altcoin hoarding. Honestly we do not have any other option except keep holding even we do not have any belief about good returns out of initial investments. Waves and ada are good example here trading below with more than 80% down from their ATH price levels. But, these are the coins I personally believe about bouncing back to get me massive profits if we keep accumulating some more at current prices.

Once you decided about DCA then you may go investing for 10% of your capital each week till the end of first quarter of 2023. DCA is a weapon to help you for NOT missing out bottom. No one could invest their all 100% capital at exact bottom but everyone can catch bottom for some of their capital through DCA.
Most crypto investors are deciding to invest more during the bullish market and in bear market they do keep waiting for more cheaper prices even their TA indicates about right time and price to buy. So, DCA is only on theoretical; in reality buying is being decided on FOMO.
1234  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Demo Account, Should Not Be Related To A Real Account on: December 19, 2022, 08:11:01 AM
if you are not careful trading while using a demo account can generate bad habits which can be near impossible to get rid of.
That's true. Demo account is for practicing and not for learning the basics. Risk management kind of basics of trading should be learned from books or mentors and beginners should apply those basics in demo account to familiarize themselves into trading ecosystem. This way they could avoid bad habits.

Both experience has a very big margin that cannot be related in any way. Real accounts will stress the mental thinking and emotion as well. in most cases it magnifies fear and anxiety.
I agree that the experience gained through demo account could be different still not for every trader. Yes, if you are very much keen on learning process and trying to utilize all the available opportunity then definitely will look for learn something rather than leaving off a simulation.
1235  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Accumulation phase is out!? on: December 17, 2022, 06:09:03 AM
Although some green lights happened just recently, we can't say that it's now the start of the expectation of a bull run. What's the next thing to do? Just to accumulate as much as we can as we don't know if something like this, on the price level like this, will still happen in the future after a bull run.
Green bars appeared but immediately red bars also appeared and led us to have another round of opportunities to accumulate more. I read some experts opinion which read like we are going to have around $30k level by the times of Christmas. So, keep making use of all available dips right now will transform our life for sure.

These might be a different 4Q to anyone as they used on seeing a rocketing price during this month.
This last quarter of this year may act like a launchpad for upcoming bullish to sideways market of 2023. So, even for short term planners, the remaining weeks of this year might show lots of opportunities.
1236  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin bottom prediction? on: December 16, 2022, 06:45:22 PM
I don't want to be too pessimistic, but seeing that this cycle is the worst in terms of returns in percentage terms so far, I think we can go lower. I think the absolute minimum we could reach would be around $10k. I think that is a round number that would trigger mass buy orders, an extremely strong support, in the same way that in the next cycle, when we approach $100k I think there is going to be a very strong resistance, with a lot of sell orders and it is going to take several attempts to beat it.
I agree with you, although I don't believe bitcoin will fall much lower than it is now. But as long as there is only negative news in the market, I see no reason for growth. I am also starting to think that in case of new collapses, the price may fall below 10k. Right now the price is at a good support level. If this is broken, a free fall could start.
I think the negative news is a man made thing, like there are some people who do not want it to go up yet, and they want to accumulate further, maybe waiting for something and when they feel like they are ready and bought enough they will also pump the positive news.

Go back a few years to the start of the bull run and you will see that there were so many good news pumped to media and everyone talked about how crypto was the next revolution and even if it was for bad, it was everywhere and usually it was to say good things about it as well. Now we are only seeing legal issues and such, which is a trouble of course but I believe that it is normal to see them for the time being.
1237  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 99% of People Will Lose Crypto in Self Custody on: December 16, 2022, 05:53:24 PM
While he has a slight point, I'm really not a fan of the 99% number, knowing how frequently attacked centralized exchanges are.

I think the only case where I'll justify leaving funds on a centralized exchange, is when the holder is a totally technologically-illiterate senior citizen.
so im not shocked that the number is above 50% of people that cant self-custody effectively. but i think 99% refers to the number of people that may lose 'some*' value of their hoard. where as the ability to self custody is more like 30% as oppose to 1%

*some value: nearly everyone has lost a few fiat pennies down into the void of their sofa cushion or the pavements of their town
..
it requires education to learn how to secure crypto properly. and from reading the thousands of users posts on this forum(supposed technically aware) of people. i always bang my head at the multitude of people that just cannot even be bothered to learn and research, and just want answers spoon fed to them or just go with whatever lame thing their friends have told them
I agree that 50% is guaranteed, between people who just lose it, to people who got scammed, and to people who put it on scam places, there are too many people who are willingly giving their money to a thing that steals it. I do not mean like it has to be centralized exchange, they literally invest into scam projects that claim grand stuff and then just steal the money, that is a loss too if you ask me and on the investor.

I know it's not easy but at the end of the day the only great way to make money is to just put it on bitcoin and hold it for a decade, while sounds easy it is somehow hard for some people to follow up and do that unfortunately.

So in the end they called Vasseur, as predicted.

He has a huge experience and he already worked with Leclerc 3 years ago, best of luck
It was known but it was not really approved by everyone. Ferrari needs to change a lot more than just their TP, they have to change a lot. Like they need to change the race engineers too, and they need to change the strategist too, and they need to change the car designer too, or maybe keep that one I am not sure.

Like this is okay, Binotto out is something everyone wanted and that part is true, but it's half good because they just did one change and consider that would be enough to win the title? No way. Charles is a great young driver who has the potential to dominate the league if given a great car and team makes no mistakes, he just needs help.
1240  Economy / Economics / Re: This could be the biggest news in 2022 on: December 15, 2022, 07:29:54 PM
True, fake, small bank or large - it does not matter. Another thing is important - the crypto world is isolated from the real / fiat world. And he cannot "stew in his juice". Virtual assets must be converted into fiat so that everything in the real world is available to you - from a bottle of water to buying a house! In the crypto world, this is almost unrealistic, or these are isolated cases, and more an exception than practice.
Therefore, exchanges, large funds, will buy banks to turn them into a kind of gateway for communication between two parallel worlds Smiley
I have to say it's going to be not an impossible thing for too long. We are already using debit crypto cars if you seen it or not I do not know. That means you put your crypto somewhere, and then you use your card to buy something and with that you end up with a regular debit card type of stuff where you can buy anything from bottle of water to a house, even the bank itself, because there is no limit to crypto.

However, it's a bit about how that's not spread yet, it is not available in most nations too, if we could end up working towards making sure this works then we are not going to end up with any problems at all if everyone has one and everyone accepts it.
