1221  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price, January. $20000 or above possible? on: January 25, 2023, 08:49:01 PM
There is still time to continue to rise and I'm sure January can touch $24k, if January can touch $24k then I'm sure this year it can rise and return to the $50k level, it's time to keep buying and never be influenced by FUDs on social media , a successful investor is to buy cheap and hold until you get a profit.
$20k is already achieved and the price didn't stop there. Currently we are at $23k now and as usual the price seems to struggle to past the next level. We might hit $24k in the upcoming months and not by this month but in case we hit it there are still possibilities that another dump will happen so I am sceptical if we ever reach $50k within this year.

A constant dump is still a good thing though. That is for us to continue accumulating and then for those newbies to have a good start. FUDs doesn't only happen in social media but its anywhere although yes, we shouldn't be affected by them as they are only built to destroy us or the price of cryptos.
1222  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin threatened by digital dollars? on: January 25, 2023, 08:18:03 PM
It is undeniably an intriguing issue to ponder, and one that has been discussed for some time. I believe it is essential to keep in mind that Bitcoin and a digital currency are two very different things. Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency that functions on a blockchain, while a digital dollar would be a digital counterpart of the US dollar managed and regulated by the Federal Reserve.

Nevertheless, the creation of a digital dollar might have an effect on the acceptance and expansion of Bitcoin in the United States. However, it is difficult to determine for certain without knowing how the digital currency would operate and what restrictions would be in place.

Consider that many individuals are drawn to Bitcoin due to its decentralized nature and its operation outside of conventional financial structures. Consequently, if the digital currency is tightly regulated and controlled by the government, it may not appeal to these folks as much.

On the other side, a digital dollar may make it simpler for consumers to access and utilize digital currencies, which could eventually result in greater acceptance of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. In my opinion, it is still too soon to tell how the introduction of a digital dollar might affect the growth of Bitcoin in the United States. Nonetheless, I anticipate that the benefits will far outweigh the drawbacks.
Bitcoin is actually a digital currency but if you mean digital dollars then both of them have some differences and you already explained it. With that said, Bitcoin will be unaffected by the digital dollars. Those who like decentralization will go for Bitcoins but those who are fine with centralization then they will go with digital dollar.

There are some who will choose both. They will only treat their Bitcoin as an invest asset for the long term while they will use their digital dollar as a currency for purchasing or for sending money to their love ones. Now that we know their differences, we Bitcoiners shouldn't worry but let's just continue the business that we already started.
1223  Economy / Economics / Re: How can we end the *VOLATILITY OF BITCOIN* on: January 25, 2023, 07:44:34 PM
It is like asking when Bitcoin becomes centralized so the price can be controlled. Otherwise, the volatility remains even if the government will take action.

But I guess OP, we have to accept the reality that Bitcoin has been created for such a thing and the price keeps moving up and down. Because what I think is that people become unhappy if the price becomes stable and it lessens the interest of the community if their chance of earning a huge profit is very slim.
There are also coins who are centralized but their value is still volatile and then there's also stable coins who are decentralized, so no it has nothing to do with it. Despite BTC being volatile, there are still times where its value can become stable like on what we experience lately where the price seem to be stuck in 23k USD.

BTC being volatile is still a good thing and yes this is one of the thing which makes it popular. Another would be is that it is decentralized and has a limited supply. For the people who dislikes the volatility of BTC or any other crypto then they better use stables coins instead or the latest one that governments and banks created which was called CBDC.

Making up trades without having any basis is simply gambling and its true that if you are really that planning to have that kind of behavior then you should have done gambling in casino in the first place rather than

making yourself dealing up with trading.It isnt something that you could easily deal with and basing up on the behavior on just trying to make positions basing up on intuition and guts
then you arent doing trading but rather gambling.

OP would soon find out on whats the reality of trading and it isnt something that you could really just attached it with some intuition or emotions.
I know in some gambling sites, they also have price prediction and then there's also options trading which you are still require to predict if the price will rise of fall. Why can't he just do this instead? Since what he was doing there is pure gambling. Not only that he doesn't have enough knowledge on how trading works but he also invest on a risky coin called apecoin. What's funny is that he is expecting this coin will go to the moon. Lol, seriously?

If there is any coin that will go to the moon then that will only be Bitcoin, nothing more. Uncertainty in crypto is normal but it does not mean that we can't find a way to go through it and became successful.
1225  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Mini bull run or short Squeeze (manipulation) ? on: January 23, 2023, 05:50:20 PM
In these times, the bitcoin to pump makes me wonder whether it is due to manipulation and short squeeze to liquidate many short positions opened on bitcoin?
The pump that occurs is quite powerful. after all, if you want to manipulate as you say, it is clear that it will use quite a large amount of funds to manipulate Bitcoin prices.
we still don't know if this is a trap or if it will continue in the next pump. it is clear that now his condition is quite stable. and the situation is like when the price went from $17k and pumped to $20k, and in a short time, it rose to $23k.
some analysts say it won't last long as a correction is imminent. but we may see another pump taking it to the next level.
Powerful because it managed to climb up to $23k plus for a short period of time but not as powerful to break those harder areas that we haven't reached yet since last year. Bitcoin is decentralized and it was the largest crypto so manipulating it will be a pain in the ass therefore I don't think the recent increase is due to manipulations but there are certain positive news that pops up last time so that maybe the reason of this mini bull run that we are seeing now.

It is not also a trap but trap can be associated with whales manipulations but corrections could be felt a long the way so we need to watch out for this if our goal is either to short sell or to buy.
1226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: January 23, 2023, 08:35:19 AM
Manchester City have had some bad luck on a number of occasions, but a few times they have also just performed poorly. Just like the time they were eliminated by Lyon, that should not happen to a club like City. The top in international football has also become much broader and stronger. You have a big competition every year with different teams that all have serious chances to win the CL. 10 years ago it was actually unthinkable that a club outside Bayern Munich, Barcelona or Real Madrid would win the CL. Even when Inter won the CL in 2010, it came as a surprise. Mourinho has already won the CL with 3 different clubs. Also a huge achievement, especially then in the year with Porto.
Here I have to say one thing with the resources, quality and performance surely Manchester City deserve the title of the Champions League, but sadly they are the unluckiest team in UEFA history which fail to win this title despite having all things to win but just missing luck is enough for them to never won this title as already mentioned Mourinho is the only coach who won this title with three different teams and many others achieve this all is surely great achievements, but sadly they have never been enough lucky to do this for their own sack even right now I have feeling in this season they will be not able to win because they are having some trouble in last few matches, and they need to fix this all before big show started, and they have to perform as par for the win otherwise this could be again same story for them.
1227  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: January 22, 2023, 09:06:01 PM
Villarreal was a success make a goal 1-0 in extra time, and they earned three points so hard this match.
Earning points in this match became very difficult for Villarreal. Villarreal's performance was not weak. They performed very well. But Villarreal's players could not score due to Girona's completely defensive play. Villarreal scored a goal in extra time 90 + 11 minutes of the match. And Villarreal scored from the penalty spot. I would say Villarreal were very lucky to secure 3 points in this match.
What an end for this match we have no goal in 90 minutes game even in last 12 minutes Girona were playing with ten men but sadly Villarreal were not able to score a goal, and then we have missed penalty by them, but good thing happen they have another penalty which give them good encouragement, and they were able to score goals which helps them for having full three points from this match and now have fifth spot in league table but still they need to improve their performance because now Atlético Madrid is also doing good job and if they want to stay at the top then surely improvement is must and after break things are going into their favour specially now change of coach effect is also going down because their results are coming good.
1228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 22, 2023, 07:05:31 PM
if this Rumour is true Harry Kane should not miss this opportunity,he should embrace it no matter the pay. So he can win a trophy before his retirement. I don't see him winning anything with Tottenham Hotspur this season or season to come.he has tried his best for the club. It's time for him to play in another competitive club like Manchester United so he can win one trophy. I believe Manchester United gonna win one trophy this season. And United is lacking a good striker, Kane is a perfect match for Manchester United attacking line. Because most of his country players are in Manchester United, they can easy blend together.
Most chances we will have few changes in Tottenham after end of this season because Conte is also not talking about another extension as he is feeling he can't win anything here which is surely true with this we can expect something same for the Harry Kane who is best and can give his best for winning trophy in any other club with right now three clubs are interested, and they will give him as he wanted most chances he will prefer to stay in England which will give Manchester United a fair chance to sign him and take good advantage of these players skills and quality.

Even nothing is clear until end of this season but most chances now things are looking for changes, and he needs to take bold decision because currently he has good advantage and can win trophies with any big club which is looking for him in coming season.

it's definitely possible to circumvent account limitations by using different emails on different casinos, but it's not a foolproof solution. Some online casinos might also track users by IP address or other identifying information, so it's not a guarantee that you'll be able to continue gambling without any restrictions. Try to find and use other casinos.

Faking IP or using Tor can be a good alternative way but it can limit the speed and the experience while playing the casinos. VPN was my choice when my country prohibit many gambling websites but the connection speed was totally terrible. I guess it might be because I use free VPN services so that the server was always overload

That's why we should choose on-KYC or blockchain casinos because they offer full anonymity and allow us to fully enjoy the experience without any limitations. In the next few years we will see more and more blockchain-based casinos where people can join or leave without providing any additional information
Online platform operators knows that email address can be replaced easily and there are tons of disposable email service that we can use without creating Gmail and Yahoo mails. Even if we use them our success rate of playing on the same betting site can be slim if it was against their rules. Like you said, they still can see our IP address.

We can use a VPN to change our IP address but then they have other indicators to know if the user has already signed up before on their platform. To avoid problems or bad karma, it would be better if we can just play fairly. if we are restricted on one betting site then why not find another? There are plenty of fishes in the sea.
1230  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin increased my mental awareness on: January 21, 2023, 11:53:24 AM
I love how Bitcoin makes me think... all day long!

I have to admit, that after all, I think the whole point is to try to find the sweet spot. But for everything you do, you will always find yourself a new problem to cope with.
You love how BTC makes you think? How come when it looks like you are stressing yourself too much but this is something that I can relate. It's like the more BTC we hold the more we will overthink and get paranoid. I know this is wrong so I am just trying to be calm. You should too. If you know that you already done the right practice of storing your Bitcoins then you will be just fine. A few background on how I store/diversify my BTC, crypto, and fiat.

Basically, I only use 3 digital wallets. I don't download much because I think it will now be hard to manage my coins. 1 of these wallets is custodial and the other is non-crypto. So I only put most of my BTC in one wallet and I only have 1 private keys to keep.
1231  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Start of a Bull Season on Bitcoin? Or a Trap? on: January 20, 2023, 07:12:00 PM
now the price is dropping dramatically, yesterday it had reached a high of $ 21,400. The market is also getting saturated, already overbought, so it's time to go down and try to go down to the nearest support. gradually the price continues to fall and if it passes $20k it will continue towards $19k.
The movement at the beginning of the year was indeed quite significant, but the correction that will occur will also be deeper. The halving is still a long way off and this year may be a year that doesn't have too much movement.
Since the increase in the last week bitcoin has not decreased very drastically it is still trying to survive at the price level of $ 20,700 but I don't know if this is really a bull-trap or will continue to try at the same level but in terms of graphics bitcoin is still quite strong in $20,000 threshold.
Well I believe this correction will definitely happen but with the movement in 2023 it won't go more than ATH before we still haven't passed the halving in 2024 so maybe it will stay at the $20k or $30k level.
We have been at $20k for a few days now or weeks so I think this wasn't a bull trap anymore. If it's a bull trap then we already go back to $17k or even drop lower than that long time ago. It seems that the history repeats itself again. $20k should be our new support and then later on we will rise up to $24k and will do an attempt to hit $25k.

If it's a success then we should rise continuously. Corrections can happen as it was part of how this marker works but I think it's different from a bull trap right? Because why their terms are not the same then. I too believe that we won't past the ATH this year but I am positive that we will surpass the $30k level.
1232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 20, 2023, 11:08:03 AM
Tottenham did lose, but at least I was a little impressed with Tottenham in the match against Manchester City. Also, even though in statistics Tottenham lost even the whole match, but with Tottenham being able to win with a score of 0-2 at halftime. At least these results can prove that Tottenham still has the ability to be able to get full points when Tottenham play against a weaker team.

It's a shame that Tottenham couldn't maintain this advantage, because even though Tottenham couldn't maintain this advantage, at least Tottenham could end the match in a draw. Because winning 0-2 at halftime is a good score but yes, Manchester City are indeed not a weak team and they have a high winning mentality and are capable of a comeback.
i thought manchester city would lose after they conceded 2 goals and it was a bit frustrating too because i bet on manchester city, but in the second half manchester city really gave me a good surprise, they can score 4 goals at once to turn things around
Surely things were completely shocking for the fans and mostly were feeling they are going to lose or having just draw but suddenly in second half their comeback was more shocking than their trail time in last few minutes of the first half while they clear things just in 15 to 20 minutes and all settled which is giving good edge to their attack after sometime Mahrez were at his best around the ground and done good work for the win of his team.

Now this defeat is going to be big setback for the struggling Tottenham which was looking for the fight of top four now having bad time and can drop more because in last five games they are able to have just one win and four points which are not enough to stay at the top of league where we have too many touch challenges for them.
1233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Crypto exchanges market affected by ICOs? on: January 19, 2023, 08:25:22 PM
From ICO we were able to encounter good sum of growth as well as different marketing methods. It is the early projects that gave good support for the exchanges to grow. Over the years different things happened as the market grew, noway ICO served to be a distracting factor for the growth of exchanges. Earlier days more new exchanges survived out of the ICO tokens trading.
Growth of what? The exchange? They can list a lot of ICO coins but it doesn't make them successful because we know that most of those ICO coins are only just a scam. ICO coins doesn't also contribute on the standard cryptos (ex. BTC and ETH).

Their value is the only thing that pumps if ever they got lucky and many people have invested on them but when the time they dump the standard cryptos are also affected because the investors think that all cryptos are the same that all for them are not to be trusted. Not only ICOs but even the new type of crowdfunding can still affect the crypto exchanges if they will support shady and scam projects.
1234  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It is ok to sell your Bitcoin. on: January 19, 2023, 11:48:02 AM
Others would overthink when they sold their bitcoin it is some sort of quit or end of their journey to bitcoin. Well that is the start as for sure you will be buying it again, it doesn't mean you sell it you won't be coming back it is just you need money or the profit on it for sure you will be investing back if you have spare money or if you saved money. Ive been saving right now to buy more as I hold just a small amount to be ready for the next halving, I am hoping that the price will reach the moon lol.
They can always rebuy it again and they shouldn't think it's the end because the value of BTC can go down again. Having this said, we must sell our BTC before it happens or if our main priority is to invest. We can only sell small amounts if we think hodling BTC is more better to do. Having a fiat on hand can be a good thing to avoid using out BTC in case of emergencies.

This should be separated from the fiats that is also intended for buying more coins once the value of BTC drops. The price can go to the moon but I am not sure if will occur this upcoming halving but halving could do some contributions since it halves the supply of the coin making it more scarce.
1235  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum Vs Cardano on: January 19, 2023, 11:04:09 AM
When comparing Ethereum vs Cardano, Ethereum definitely has the upper hand. I consider Ethereum as the most reliable coin after Bitcoin. Ethereum has developed their own platform a lot. Maybe a few days ago a bad news sent the Ethereum market down a lot. However, with the market becoming positive, Ethereum's market has started to change. But if the Bitcoin market is a little more positive, it will be seen that the Ethereum market has changed a lot. Of course I think Ethium is the best ALT coin.
Yes, that's because ETH went a lot of upgrades already but we never heard any latest updates with Cardano. Comparing them is only good if done on the past when both coins are still kinda new. I remember there are also other coins which was being compared with ETH. Coins such as Waves, Polkadot, Sol and Matic but ETH proves that it is much superior among them. It does not mean that those coins are now bad or we shall now avoid them.

We still can invest some of our money on them if we are into diversifying as those coins can still show a little growth especially when the bull run has arrived. Their devs might also roll out some updates which can greatly improve their coins.
1236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: January 18, 2023, 09:12:49 PM
If I consider the performance of the team with the players that these two teams have, they are equally great, but if I consider the quality of their coaches then of course I will choose Erik ten Hag. Therefore, for this match at least I am also quite sure that Manchester United might be able to qualify for the next round.
Indeed, Barcelona managed to beat Real Madrid but in my view, when Xavi makes a strategy for matches to be played outside of Spain whether it's for matches in the Champions League and also in the Europa League. So I think Xavi is still not all that great and for that reason, at least I have my own assessment of why I chose Manchester United to win this match.
Surely I have been feeling your review is good and having faith in Manchester United for the win in this match is also not bad at all because after the win against Manchester City they are having good boost in confidence for the next big games and things are also in their favour with coach Ten Haq having good command in game which is helping him for giving the best result now they are going to face few challenges which will give them good experience for the future and if they are able to have positive results from these challenges then surely they will be able to stay in touch for the future wins because now their mentality is also changed, and they are playing fearless soccer which will give them benefit for the win trophies.
1237  Economy / Speculation / Re: Did you sell off during the 21k price breach. on: January 18, 2023, 08:35:43 PM
I have not sold any bitcoin and I do not have any plans to do so as it would be a mistake to sell when the recovery we are experimenting is nowhere close to the previous all time high.

However it is difficult to know what it is the best course of action right now, those performing a DCA strategy do not mind at all what is happening and they are still buying bitcoin as usual, but for those which may like to time their purchases it is not clear which path is the best to take, as they could buy now hoping the price could keep going up, but if this is a bull trap then they will miss buying bitcoin for cheaper prices, but on the other hand if they keep waiting and the 21k level is broken completely then bitcoin will get even more expensive and their fiat will buy even less of it.
If you bought your coins higher than the value that we are seeing now then it is a mistake. You will only lose this way but if you bought during the dip last time then you can still be able to gain something if you sell now. I already sold some of my mine in fact but I will keep most of them because it's always better to earn huge and that is only possible when the value of your coins are raging once again.

If you don't do DCA then I think buying now is still fine because we are still far from a full recovery. If ever the price falls after it, we should only Hodl and avoid worrying or panicking. It's best to not go all in when buying so that we still have something to use in case the price moves backwards.

In a few hours there will be a supercoppa match between last season's Serie A title winner Milan, against last season's Coppa Italia title winner Inter. This final match is also a derby match for them, in fact, I can't even decide which team will win.
Because I think at this moment their performance in my view is not much different, so I can't bet on the winning team. But even so, that doesn't mean I'm missing this match without betting, because this is an interesting match so I'll still bet on this match with the total goals option.
Now just 100 minutes left in this SuperCopa match which is going to play between two champions side of the last year Inter and AC Milan with this I have feeling timing is amazing because right now both teams are having good time with their performance currently AC Milan is at the second spot and Inter is having fourth spot in Italian League table even Inter is much better in performance because in last five games they have13 points and AC Milan is able to have just 9 points with three draws and two wins here Inter attack is better than AC Milan which is missing something after the break and looking for better attack which give them good results as right now they are defending champions but having no quality to defend their title for this season due to poor quality throughout early rounds.

Those who want to watch the super human performance from the Rwandan player Henriette Ishimwe (she took double hattrick yesterday) can do so here:

https://www.icc-cricket.com/video/3025435

I watched the match live on Fancode, and this link is for those who were unable to follow the live match. One thing is sure. Cricket in African continent is growing by leaps and bounds. A few months back, a total of 16 teams took part in the 2022–23 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier. The matches were of high quality and almost all the teams were comprised of native players. Nowhere else in the world I have noticed such rapid spread in popularity of cricket. But then, we have the sad example of Kenya. So don't want to make tall claims at this point.
This was surely performance of the tournament by Henriette Ishimwe and best achievement for the Rwanda which is not going to face England in their last pool match and sure exit for them from this tournament with this high noted performance against Zimbabwe.

Now today we have three matches and mostly were one-sided as Australia won against Sri Lanka with score board AUS 159/5 Sri Lanka 51, in this match when South Africa ended with the target of 112/7 I have feeling UAE can do upset but sadly South African not allowed them and have won this match by margin of 45 runs, with last match of the day play between India vs Scotland which won by India easily after giving target of 149/4 and Scotland bowled out for 66 in 14th over.

It's strange what happened to LUNC. LUNC trading volume shows that there are still many who are interested in LUNC trading. i don't know the reason all of them are still trading LUNC. however I'm pretty sure that they all have some reason. maybe one of the reasons is that they are only for short trading. the reason for both is that maybe they chose to hope or speculate LUNC will have a good raise sometime in the future. Maybe because the burning of transaction fees is still being carried out by Binance. and it is this hope that keeps many people still buying and investing in LUNC.
It shows that there are people who still can't get over with it. They can be those who invest first and failed and then there are also newbie investors who hopes it will make an epic comeback. This was the same to what happened with the meme coins (doge, shib, and safe moon) even though it's already clear that they are over, there are still people who aren't giving up on them.

I think the only solution to stop this non-sense is if the crypto exchanges stop supporting these coins. If those people are only short-term trading then there are better coins for it where they can also earn better. The risk is also lesser since we know that they won't collapse anytime.
