1241  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could this be the bottom of Bitcoin? on: December 15, 2022, 06:15:01 AM
The current price of Bitcoin is hovering around $18000. Just pumped a bit today. Bitcoin price has been using $1700 as support for the past few days.
Could the price of Bitcoin fall further?
What do you think about this?  
After the data om USA inflation rate which is considered as a positive one, I guess bitcoin market will not fall further. So, this leads to conclude like we have already passed the bottom of current situations and we may get into bullish market at any time but we still need strong positive news or institutions accumulation to completely break the on-going bearish market sentiment.

Hopefully the year 2023 will be different from current market sentiment. So, keep buying at dips will help all long term planners; I am glad that I am already into such plans.

After the FTX clampdown, the US Justice Department is going after Binance. According to Reuters, Binance is being hit hard and is now under investigation due to money laundering allegations. Amidst the news, customers are starting to withdraw their funds.
IMO this is all a plot to drive customers away from Binance and led them to Coinbase...
There was a bit of drop that's true, and I understand why they are afraid of Binance because we are talking about a non-American company taking billions upon billions of dollars from Americans and they were upset about that. All that money should have stayed within USA according to them, why do you think Coinbase is fine?

Why do you think FTX CEO got caught in Bahamas and prosecuted in USA? All these because if you ever make money in USA, then you keep it in USA and if you take it out, you bribe the congressmen to be able to do that. Look at all the big companies that can take their headquarters to outside, they can even get help from USA, as long as they bribe the right people.

Take a look at this crypto company called Bitcoin.com, the name itself have a lot to say but instead these people went and create their coin on Ethereum  Grin Grin Grin

Can we say they don't know what they are doing? How can you name your project Bitcoin dot come and create token on Ethereum? I belief that Bitcoin dot come should have make their own bitcoin coin.
Honestly bitcoin.com is a BCH company more than it is a BTC company to be fair, and they are just doing silly stuff. I can say that bitcoin and crypto world in general is filled with morons, that is normal, there are a lot of naïve people as well, and that is normal, and it's filled with scammers too which is normal.

Why are these all normal? Because, we have the same people in the fiat world as well and not a shocker, if we are all doing something in the fiat world, then that's normal. Scammers in crypto? Scammers in fiat, morons in fiat world? Morons in crypto. Just because someone goes into crypto doesn't mean they change their character.
1244  Economy / Economics / Re: A career - as an employee or a business owner which do you prefer and why? on: December 13, 2022, 07:45:59 PM
working as an employee when I was young, and trying to build my own business afterward was my choice. I learned business operations when I became an employee. capital that is quite valuable to have as a businessman. after that, run the business with all the experience we have. it is not easy, especially if you are not a person who has many followers.
Business people who fail to dream of being employees, stressed employees dream of personal business. People must properly experience each field to get a comparison from their own perspective, also be able to act in proportion and have a sense of responsibility when in opposing positions between boss and employee.
I was never a business owner, but I tried some few websites and realized how hard it is and now I am a very happy employee. My boss is the kindest person in the world as well that is the part that made it good, if I worked with a boss that was a dickhead then I would be unhappy and want to have my own business too, that makes sense, but when you have a boss that treats you amazingly and never underpays you and always does their best to keep you happy, why would you want to own your business?

I literally talked about starting new business with my boss directly, because if I ever do another job, I want to do it with him he is that good of a person.

I feel for C. Ronaldo for retiring from the world cup without lifting the trophy for his country. The way coaches treat him at this last stage of his career is another embarrassment. -snip

This is a very sad for Ronaldo. The star player who often cries because he can't bring the team for his country lifts the prestigious world cup competition trophy. Ronaldo's best success was at the European level when he was become one of the players who brought Portugal to the EURO championship. Even though he failed, he is a legend who has broken several previous Portuguese player records and became the top goal scorer.


Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11524219/Cristiano-Ronaldo-TEARS-walking-tunnel-Portugal-dumped-World-Cup.html
He is a player who always cries when he fails, even though he is considered to be a temperamental players, but he is the one who always seems to be the saddest player when his club fails.
And the good thing for him is that there aren't that many teams that won World Cup at all, it's not a common thing, you happen to have 4-5 world cups in your entire career, and that's it, which is just 7 game long if you win it all, so that means it's not going to be that easy, and not many teams wins it and that is why it is understandable for Portugal to never win it during Ronaldos career, that's not really that bad.

I get that he may want to have at least 1 of each cups he played, and so far he did, but that's fine, world cup could be the missing piece from there, Messi may not win any neither until he retires, does that make both of them "bad" players? Of course not.
1246  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 12, 2022, 09:22:10 PM
Can't used reference for friendly match because Nice in not completed player and have several main player still in their national team at World Cup, seems Nice have inconsistency performance after last two season can dominance at top fourth standing in Ligue 1. Have 15 matches, Nice collected 20 points with 5 won, 5 draw and 5 loss and seems not easy for Nice back to European spot standing finish.

Nice can get moment with postponed at World Cup for recovering their team and back to top level performance, left 10 points from latest team in Champion League spot standing I think still ability for Nice catching Marseille points if can consistency at second half match.
Nice isn't too performing well this season and in my opinion in the term of goals this team still lack of productivities and indeed their forward lines seems quite sharp because from total 15 goals during this season their strikers can able to scoring 12 goals but it won't be enough if they want reach to european zone at the end of season and Nice actually has 5 consecutive no lose but they wasted several matches to gets full points however after France league starting again apparently Nice will faced strong opponent Lens and this is hard match for them considering Lens in the good shape and can able to overtake second position on standings league
Is that because of the injury or anything else? That is the question. If it is about the injury then I would guess that it's not going to be hard for them to get better and be in the top 4 for good, a solid season. However, if it is not about the injuries and something else, a managerial problem or something then they will be still worse and that's going to create even more trouble for them.

At the end of the day. it's not going to be a big problem, it's going to be just a bad season at worst for them, and bad seasons do happen. Just try better and be better next season. Nobody expected them to be winner or anything anyway, so one bad season shouldn't be an issue.
1247  Economy / Speculation / Re: I think that we will see 13500 Dollars In 2022 on: December 12, 2022, 08:45:23 PM
The latest look for market heading into the weekend and lighter trading for BTC is that we do maintain a series of higher lows so there is positivity in the price.   However we are greatly subdued, even a subtle attempt to put 17,000 confidently below us is quickly diminished so we track sideways silently more or less.
   The 50 day average is only 18,000 now, its really close to a collision with our current drift.   If we continue on like we're  skidding sideways on ice, frozen at 17k its less then  ideal; try checking Monday or early Tuesday for some resolution.    The boundaries at least are quite clear, above are prior lows of Sept Oct 19k or so and more recent 15.5k low (imo the resistance above is more solid of the two).

DXY or dollar index for some months now does have a trend downwards which helps lift alternate especially speculative assets, we can hope to arrest the fall here in BTC so long as that larger trillion dollar inertia does not alter.  DXY above 100 continues to be a red flag, dont be too positive.
I guess that staying here is neither bad nor good at the same time. We have no idea if it will continue to drop, or if it will start to go up but know that it is not great for all of us. I am pretty sure that we should not be focusing on anything that is close to "predicting" because we will fail, it's not easy, it's as possible as flipping a coin, and you might be 50% right but that doesn't mean you knew it, it just mean you got lucky.

Same here as well, you can guess and maybe you will turn out to be right but that doesn't mean you will be right, that just means we were lucky and that's it nothing more really and I hope we would not make a mistake.
1248  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price 2023 on: December 12, 2022, 05:11:40 AM
I don't think it's going to be a banner year either, as I heard some predictions of 250,000 USD. Not a chance. The normal scenario is that we go back to the 30-40,000 range, something like that, and we don't break new highs until after halving in 2024.
Even I agree with, I cannot under estimate the powers of bitcoin market because we have entered the era of institutions and government adaption hence anything could be possible. I am just saying what would happen if some government decide to acquire 1 trillion dollar worth of bitcoin suddenly by declaring it as a legal tender. Yeah, I am someone who believes into 'expecting the unexpected'.

never expect many good things to come in 2023 , but look for the end because the following year will surely your destiny in investments .
2023 might be a year of sideways hence it can be a good year compared a bearish year. Like you mentioned, all of our eyes on upcoming halving and its subsequent year. So, when more people eye on something, that would happen for sure.
1249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: December 10, 2022, 09:08:05 PM
Looking at Spurs being a tanking team, Heat should be easily beating them if there is no shocking results. Nets look like they are on the right track so I put them over Pacers, Cavs are doing much better than OKC so I think they will win, Mavs had a bad loss, Doncic is mad, I feel like Mavs will destroy Bulls as well, Celtics has a good defence ready for Steph, give them a little bit edge if you ask me.

These are all the games that I am going to play on, not sure what is going to happen but these are the bets. I know Celtics one is a big harder than the others, but the odds are good enough for them to make that risk worthy and if you do parlay then the overall odds are huge.
1250  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The market will come back bigger again on: December 10, 2022, 05:23:22 AM
I'm bullish this month might change the movement of the market to a more positive. But it seems some investors are taking advantage the minor increase and selling out their assets. That's why everytime there's a positive changes it is always followed by correction. Well, we can't blame them if they're already selling and could not wait for bullrun but let's keep in mind that you can't be a huge gainer if you're not firm to hold your coins for long.
Bullish is a good way to approach things, if you stay bullish then you will keep buying things and if you keep buying then you would be making a bigger profit. Obviously not many people do that and that is a way to lose money. Even when the price is going down, you should be bullish about bitcoin and keep buying it so that when the price actually goes up then you would be able to sell it and make a profit.

What people do not realize is that the profit is exponential when it grows, from 20k to 40k is x2 but from 40k to 80k is also x2, so if you are too late, you could still make profit, yet if you buy at 20k and sell at 80k that’s x4 profit, double what the person who was late made, hence being early and trusting bitcoin when it's low matters.
1251  Economy / Economics / Re: SBF-Denies Improper use of Customer Funds in a 1 on 1 Interview on: December 09, 2022, 07:04:22 PM
If you lie for a living, you will have the chance to speak the truth but eventually when you do, people will find it hard to differentiate between the light and the darkness between your lips. SBF is a con artist and cancer to everyone in this space, from most of his interviews, he is guilty and definitely use customers money to fund Alamedas position which violates their own policies and conditions and that’s a crime that governments shouldn’t take lightly.

This days, with what has been happening in crypto space, I have come to understand that the traditional media is so centralized even the case of SBF, had it been this was done by another citizen from another country, he would be in jail by now but the same customers fund he was supposed to protect has been used to lobby same government. Justice may be delay for customers but they will have it as long as SBF keep breathing.
The boy who cried wolf basically. You could fool people too many times, and eventually they will wise up and when you tell the truth, they will not believe you because you lied to them so many times before.

I know this story all too well from my youth times, it was a story to teach young kids not to lie, and the point is not to lie ever at all, there could be life situations in your life where you are force to lie, not for a bad reason, but to save yourself from danger, for example when you are stood up by thieves or something. However, if you are a lying person in general, if lying is all you do, then you will be having a terrible time because of it and nobody will want to help you.
1252  Economy / Economics / Re: Is long-term employee retention a losing battle? on: December 09, 2022, 06:15:02 AM
Data do not lie. If these companies do not want to keep losing this battle they have to start caring about their employees. They have to treat their employees great. In this day and age companies need to start to try to be human and actually care about what their employees care about or at least putting it on the same pedestal with the degree at which the company cares about making profit. We need new generational leaders who are high on emotional intelligence.

What do you think? Are companies losing the battle for long term employee retention?
As someone who has been working with my boss close to a decade now, I can tell you that it is not, it is definitely not. If you actually pay good money to your workers, and let them do their job the way they can, then you will make a profit and they will make a profit and they will stay.

I do not think that I can do this job for another 50 years, both the technology will evolve beyond that and I will probably be dead, but assuming that I could, I would work the same job for another 50 years, or however long I can, I will NEVER quit this job no matter what happens in my life. I may take a break if I ever get seriously sick, even if I ever get into coma, I would wake up and ask my boss to come back to work. It is all about the boss, if the boss is good, worker will always stay.
1253  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH Sentiment Poll for December on: December 08, 2022, 04:58:02 AM
It is obvious that ETH is in a dilemma right now and it will take a while before people could decide what to do. The market is us, people act as if the market is something of its own and like its a company or something, but it is us, all of us, who buy and sell.

If we are not entirely sure what it will do, then it is not decided yet, the moment we say "oh I should buy more, it will go up" then we will buy and because we buy, it will also go up, so we will be right, same with when it goes down as well, there is no difference in logic. Because we are not decided yet, we do not know what's going to happen and we just end up with caring nothing at all.
It is not a big dilemma if you ask me. Sure it had all that PoS stuff and all, but it is moving with the market by the looks of it, which means that if you could end up buying it now, when the market goes up then ETH will go up as well and you would be in profit.

I know not many people are fond of that, but it would be something liked by everyone. All in all, it is the greatest thing that we could talk about in the long run, and it would be a lot better if we could just stick with ETH type of big names. Bitcoin and ETH are the two biggest coins out there, and not having any trust on them, or having dilemma about it is not really that much acceptable.
1254  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why speculate when you can be at peace with Bitcoin on: December 07, 2022, 08:12:32 PM
One of the things I hate most is speculations and I try as much as possible to avoid an entry that will make me speculate on the price of Bitcoin, so at that, I try as much as possible to have an entry price that will make me look away from the market for a long time and just be at peace holding my bitcoin in my wallet.
Speculation is indeed quite troubling at the moment, many speculators continue to tell stories based on conditions that are not like facts, so these conditions affect some beginners who do not understand the concept of investment. Bitcoin has experienced two decades since its launch, we have seen Bullish and Bearish market conditions on its way, so knowing when is the right time to start entering the market, although Bitcoin can be purchased under any circumstances, according to the timeframe specified in the investment scheme.
Unfortunately there are some newbies who do not understand what speculation is, and take it as a fact and that creates the biggest trouble. As we all know we should not listen to anyone who says it "will" be 15k or it "will" be 25k, we can even say it ourselves and they should still not listen to us.

Because, nobody knows what it "will" do, we know what it may do, or should do, or could do but not know what it will do. That is only up to time and time will tell us what bitcoin price will become. Do not make any type of investment just because you heard people are doing something and you want to join them and invest just like they did, they could be wrong as well.
1255  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Bearish market the right time to buy coins? on: December 07, 2022, 03:53:05 PM
Emotions really killing our investment. We do follow the trend and regret when the market starts to bounce back. We all know how hard to make your decision when the market is bleeding.

But like you mentioned, those who have good experienced knows that keeping your patience and do
an extra mile if you still have spare funds to use is the wise decision during the bear season.

If you can buy additional coin with a very cheap value, once the market start to pump you can
quickly recover your losses and a chance of being compensated with a very decent amount once the
market reached your target.
Emotions are not stuff that we could lock away, if that was so possible then all the people in the world with trauma because of horrible stuff they had to go through would simply just lock it away.

And yes trading is not that difficult, it is not a trauma, but stress, panic, sadness, happiness and many other emotions are there when you are trading and if you can somehow magically stop feeling those, how could you not do that for anything else, like people who are afraid of flying could just lock it away? That is why it is a lot easier to end up with something that is long term better for everyone involved and just learn to control your emotions and direct them towards better trading.
1256  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I will support Elon Musk if he creates a stablecoin for Twitter on: December 06, 2022, 05:49:23 PM
I very much hope that Elon may be able to create a decentralized stable currency, allowing users to completely migrate to decentralization, because Elon's influence is enough to be a wedding dress for the new stable currency.
No, Elon musk is not interested in making his own crypto. if indeed he has aspirations to make his own coin, he doesn't have to bother making tweets about other coins that don't belong to him (Dogecoin)
I wish that he did. That way he would stop talking about bitcoin and doge, and he would start talking about his own thing and that would be a lot better for all of us. His own coin could go up a lot, who cares, but at least the market would be left alone and it would not do too bad.

Even in a case, where his coin does terrible is great, because it means people will lose so much money that they would stop caring about what he says, because they would know that even his own coin failed so why would they listen to him on anything else. But unfortunately it looks like he will not have his own coin at all, he would probably stay away from that as much as he can.
1257  Economy / Speculation / Re: Let's understand about what can be the actual long term holding... on: December 06, 2022, 08:09:24 AM
There are some investors or traders that are just very lucky or they are really expected that their entry is perfect timing which helps them not to wait any longer.
To get the influence of luck factor in your trading or investment, long term holding is the simplest trick. If you are relying on your luck things, you may get maximum 10% success ratio whereas if you opt for long term holding then you will get up to 90% hitting ratio of your targets.

So, trading with the help of luck cannot be generalized and talking about that might lead like setting up wrong examples. I have seen my friends are trading blindly and I do call them as gamblers.

it is already proven by Bitcoin over time.
Not just by bitcoin, all deflationary assets are marvellous in long term which is the reason gold and real estate are still worshipped by investors.
1258  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Is Approaching $17000 on: December 06, 2022, 03:05:03 AM
Unfortunately today the Red Again Market and goes down again below $ 17K, but there is a chance to return to $ 17K because I see that the negative trend caused by FTX is now starting to disappear, investors are increasingly optimistic that the market is immediately rising and does not care about the current price .
Bitcoins are currently very green, I mean it’s really a positive sign for us. If Bitcoins keep on pushing like this, then definitely by the end of this year we will see the price at around 20k usd. If Bitcoins reach 20k usd by the end, then definitely next year will be really big for Bitcoins. It’s not late to be honest, if you haven’t bought any Bitcoins. Buy as many bitcoins as you can in this cheap sale price, and definitely next year you will see a great profit.
That means that we are getting ready for a big breakout, and that could be so great for all of us. I do wish that the 20k+ mark could be hit again, it was there for many many months and it was a great period because it meant that it was both stable and it was making a lot of money at the same time, but right now it is a bit more lower and that means all those people who bought for the past 6-8 months ended up with a small loss.

Obviously that will be recovered soon when it hits there, but we need to make sure that we could hit that price a lot quicker next time, and we shouldn't be at these lower levels for too long, it is not good for the market.
1259  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I want to ask, at the end of the bitcoin and altcoin year, will the price go up on: December 05, 2022, 07:00:34 PM
I think we may end this year around 19-20k dollars level because of issues with FTX and Gemini. NFT markets seem rather dying or dead. Lending business is getting uncommon. Most people prefer trading methods (like shorting or buying low selling high) to make money instead investing and believing in a project. I actually expected at least tiny bull run to start at the start of winter but I regretted now. Although if we look at brighter side, markets are in "extreme fear" levels so best time to buy some coins.
I do agree that 20k could be a cap for what we could do this year, but that is not a bad cap at all, it would be a good cap if you ask me. I am not saying that it would be that much of a trouble or not a trouble but it wouldn't be a bad situation at all.

I feel like the best thing to do would be making sure that life is a lot better by the time year ends by growing. That type of momentum could have some impact on January and that January could impact February as well, it is a domino effect. So, just keep on growing bigger and bigger, even if it is just 500 dollars, just keep on growing, so that the future would grow bigger exponentially thanks to that.

are you sure that newcastle is a mediocre team? Do you really think that a mediocre team can reach third place in the Premier League? honestly are you really sure you're talking about newcastle that same team that is in third place in the premier league? Liverpool, which is a great and strong team, is not in third place, chelsea, manchester united, and so many other teams are not in third place, in the premier league only the best teams are at the top, you should already know that. premier league is such a difficult competition that it is not easy to get at least to stay in 4th place, and newcastle is in 3rd place. before you think: " " newcastle is thanks to luck " ". wrong, they beat chelsea, in their last game. they are there because they are a strong team
It is not easy to suddenly become good just because you bought some players. I am not saying that West Ham is a bad team, obviously as we can see they are a good team but it doesn't mean that they are going to be that much better suddenly, they are good but that's about it and we should move on with it.

I feel like the fact that they spent money means nothing, if that was the only thing that give you results, Chelsea would have been leading the whole league, but they are not, barely in top 4 right now, and not doing awesome, even though they are the ones that spent the most money. This is why it's clear to me that West Ham needs more seasons like this to get good.
