1341  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: is it still risky to Invest into Altcoin now? on: November 18, 2023, 04:40:48 PM
Altcoins have risks that are not necessarily time-specific, meaning they are risky at any time. Everything moves in a cycle and bitcoin is always the leader. At this time, bitcoin is the guideline, hold bitcoin, focus on observing it before the opportunity opens for the altcoin cycle to create waves. I guess, the opportunity to sort and reorganize altcoins is coming.
Everyone is aware of the risk that altcoins pose and they are consumed sometimes by the profits they can get from these altcoins and that's why many people fall victim of the dump so if you want to be in the category of investors that end up with regrets then buying some altcoins without proper research would be the best mistake you can do for yourself but when you consider the risk and facts behind an investment then you would understand that having Bitcoin as your major investment would be your best choice but having also some altcoins won't be a bad idea especially when the bull market has reached as they tend to pump fast and I would prefer a short term investment to avoid losses.

Manchester united case this season, is a really bad one and they might end up like Chelsea last season if the management doesn't do something real quick and I think ten hag himself needs to go because I believe the conspiracy that the players are against him is starting to show off and there is nothing worse than when your own players are against you, no matter how you can try the team will never be stable. If Manchester united wants to salvage anything from their season then something needs to change in this team, if not that five points gap between Aston villa won't be the only point they would be worried about.

There should be no comparison between Manchester United and Aston Villa. Aston Villa is more of a coordinated club than Manchester United.
And get it clear now, Manchester United can never follow in the same pathway followed by the blues last season, Chelsea employed a poor coach who have never managed a club that has moved pass the top ten in the Premier League. That said, Graham Potter has never managed a big club like Chelsea not to even talk about the pressure that comes from the Champions League.

He was given too much time amd yet nothing positive came up. Erik Ten Hag is different, for if you have seen Erik Ten Hag manage Ajax against Real Madrid and other clubs in the Champions League, you won't be saying this. Erik Ten Hag just needs a proper defensive midfielder and new set of defenders.
Is this the same Eric Ten Hag that took over from Ralph ragnick that people are now criticising now ? This is the same ten Hag that transformed Manchester United to a better performance when he was newly signed manager of the club.  I don't think ten Hag is an inexperienced coach or incompetent coach. Ten Hag can still revive the performance of Manchester United to become better and the management of Manchester United are still wants ten to be coach of the team.

Manchester United players just need to their best and work as a team to have a productive result in their games, I don't think the fault is just from ten Hag but the players also  have a role to play.
And when would that be , is it when the whole club has slumped into the relegation zone and have a dreadful ending to the season before things will start working fine again? I don't believe on give the coach hope or looking for excuse on player performance because even if the players are not performing its the duty of the coach to get the best out of these boys and that's why am a fan of abramovich and his ownership skill when he was in charge of Chelsea, I mean the man doesn't take this kind of shit performance from any coach or players .
1343  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bull season started? on: November 17, 2023, 07:48:49 PM
Investing because of historical patterns isn't advised. We're reading posts about how halving's going to make ppl rich but it isn't guaranteed. There's confusion being started by investors trying to make ppl buy bitcoin. They're hoping FOMO's going to take the market to a bull season.

My advice if you trade is to never rely too much on one historical pattern to make your investment decisions. So, if you want to check this sign, as far as I know, look and pay attention to the movement of the trading volume, whether it is increasing or not. If yes. That means, increasing support from market players, and the emergence of Positive Sentiment in society is a sign that this period will begin soon, although at first glance, this is also considered a positive signal for the crypto market.
Well you can't blame anyone who actually thinks history will repeat itself in terms of Bitcoin price going up during or after the halving as that's the only view people got close to an accurate prediction on the price market. This taught has made so many people hopeful and that's why everyone in the crypto space today is making plans towards this bull season is speculated to come after the halving which for me can change no doubt but it worth hoping for as it has been so for almost three seasons now .

What are will advise you to do, if you have multiples of outputs in different wallet and you have plans to use them or send them in near future,  consolidate them together into one wallet. It might request for high fees but do that on weekends, you will enjoy that when you send bitcoin from a single wallet address than combine these outputs all together, you will be paying more fees than the outputs if halving should remain 2 months.
For consolidation, people can wait and let the mempool to become less congested. 2 to 4 sat/vbyte is still possible.

Another solution is the use of lightning network.

Side chains would have been better, but they are not bitcoin but altcoins.
The lightning network is always there but the adoption is just something else because so many are aware of it but using it is a different case, if not this issue of the mempool being congested won't be much because most Bitcoin owner will just transact with the Bitcoin second layer network which was actually created to reduce the effect of such cases in transacting Bitcoin. But I believe this issue will soon flow past as this case is just temporary and very the network fee would be back to normal and transaction fee will be okay again.
1345  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Access bank no fit give their customers access. on: November 17, 2023, 07:26:11 PM
Our government really need to accept Bitcoin completely so that people can invest in it and in difficult time like this bitcoin can be a solution to the problem.
Nigeria government allowed citizens to trade bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies of their choice. Nigeria is still leading in crypto adoption in Africa and among the first 10 countries in the world. If you want to buy millions of naira worth of bitcoin in just some minutes, that is possible if you are in Nigeria.
That's very true and that's why we are top in the chart of the most consumers and transacting of Bitcoin and all other crypto. Nigeria is the core region in the expansion of Bitcoin adoption too as I believe a ratio of 60% of Nigerian youth are aware of Bitcoin and other crypto but I don't know of them possessing it though because their is still this massive misconception that Bitcoin is something that has to do with illegal activity in the country and so many people shy away from it .
1346  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Is Nigeria a failed project ? on: November 17, 2023, 07:20:30 PM
I think arguing about Nigeria being a failed project or not isn't necessary at all. If we agree that Nigeria is a failed project, how does it translate to making Nigeria better? If after our argument we decide that Nigeria isn't a failed state, does it change the fact that thousands of graduate are unemployable because the institutions that ascertained that they are fit to graduate is very quack, outdated, and none functional and shouldn't be allowed to guarantee who his qualified to be called an engineer, lawyer or doctor.

I think that one of the major problems we have as a nation is that we are just good at analyzing our problems without putting in the effort to see ourselves out of this sorry state we find ourselves  in
Good one brotherly, Nigeria as a whole isn't the first nation to experience this kind of setback but what makes these other nations better is the fact they actually worked towards a solution to this upsets that were going on, so as a country we are all task on making Nigeria one way or the other we all have our role to play. And complaining without action is certainly not the way to go about it
1347  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Promising altcoins? on: November 17, 2023, 07:11:07 PM
The three alt-coins you just mentioned are promising coin's long time ago, which Binance and Ethereum has make a good impact in time's of price increase, which XRP Coin are next which one has to look into, since still on the cheap side and already free from SEC court case and get won towards it. Hence next bull run XRP Coin is going to make a good impact as a promising coin's.
Of the three coins that the OP mentioned, Ethereum and BNB seem to me to be the most promising coins.Yes, when the bull run starts in the market, it will be seen that the price of alt coins is already increasing.But of the three alt coins the OP mentioned, Ethereum has the highest price and I think it would be best to invest in Ethereum.As the market conditions are not good at present, the price of any coin is not increasing.Now roughly the price of bitcoin is increasing steadily but the price of BNB coin is not increasing as much.BNB coin price was once as high as $650 but now it has come down so much that we can expect the price of this coin to increase in the future when market bullrun starts.BNB Coin can be good for long term investment.
Of course, reputable coins like Bitcoin should first be your priority when you are investing your money then a split of investment among these other coins is also not a bad idea but I would prefer buying Solana instead of XRP. don't know but that my own view because I feel solana will have more potential and value coming this bull season that is upfront but everyone is waiting eagerly for the bull to come so as to accumulate profits from their already bought or saved investment.
1348  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is exchange based tokens worth for hold? on: November 17, 2023, 06:52:29 PM
As an investor, i bought so many exchange based tokens! Bnb, uniswap, kucoin (kcs), cake, houbi (ht),  FTP and so on. Undoubtedly those exchangers are so big and reputable. I though those altcoins will pump if exchange get larger during time and if exchange add more pair with their altcoin on their platform, then price will boom but most of those are like shitcoin, dumped 70-80℅ in long run except bnb. So what do you think? I'm no longer going to invest any exchange coin anymore!
Hmm, that's very funny because I was thinking myself in acquiring some coins in respect to some exchange especially binance but with your experience now I think I will make exceptions to even buy because they are not all that promising. Basically the only altcoins I possess that is even promising would be Solana coin because since the time I acquire it earlier this year the value has kinda double making my investment have some profits but I didn't buy much due to the fear of dumbing but I believe as the bull season draw close Solana will reach some valuable number.
1349  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you guys think on: November 17, 2023, 06:42:14 PM
You should know that there was a bull run in 2017 and investors made a lot of money during that time. Don't rush to invest in crypto because this market will give you good results as well as bad results. Have the ability to sense the downside because there will be a loss of your money. If you just look for low price then you can never buy good project token so you need to do proper research and buy at right time.
And what's your take on the right time to buy? For me buying the right coins is actually the real case because most people tend to make the mistake of actually purchasing shitcoins which dump in no time because of the short pump some these coin have. For me if you want to want to invest or buy any altcoins you should remove greed because that would be the start of your downfall.
1350  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to identify shitcoins? on: November 17, 2023, 05:49:48 PM
As an investor, i did a lots of invest in altcoins. Those were suppose to be good that time with having good hype, good team and community. But with having all of thats, most of altcoins scam after a time! I wonder for some altcoins, they were suppose not to be go but they scammed without any reason! And hundreds of altcoins are in my wallet, which are turn into dead shitcoin now.

You are not alone, I have a ton of tokens, of which a huge majority of the project is dead. However, understand the difference between shitcoins and scams. Shitcoins aren't always scams. It mostly happens to be shitcoin when the management fails at managing/implementing the project, or something takes away the utility of the token. Scam on the other hand could be you investing but never getting your capital or your supposed gain amount
That's very correct as their is this massive misconception in the crypto space that all altcoins are mostly shitcoins which is obviously false but their is a massive audience that believe all altcoins project are scam project but most times scammers are also to blame for this, they tend to use some altcoins to even scam people that are naive in the crypto space and I have seen some of these scam as I was even target with one of their scam to a particular project that seem legit but have been used otherwise by this so called scammers.

Hello,

With all the knowledge you have everything regarding cryptocurrency, what would you tell your younger self in order to learn the best / fastest to get the most out of this space?

Such as: trading, strategies, technical info, learning methods etc etc,

Any help or guidance is appreciated  Cheesy
I would tell my younger self not  to get involved in any activity like trading because of the risk and uncertainty thqt is involved in it especially when it's for the purpose of adding to your savings portfolio. As for the method , I think I would go for the best crypto investment method which is DCA method especially for those of that I can't afford to buy big at once. I have come to see that the DCA method has become every effective and It would be the best option for my younger self.
1352  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is there still hope for the price of BTC to hit back $69k this year? on: November 17, 2023, 05:32:03 PM
or it can very well be fast. but it depends on the market sentiments and updates. in this market, we can never be sure when a certain price will hit in the market. we can speculate and that's all there is. such level is still very far from what we have now. so i would say, be conservative with your estimates if you are relying on your predictions how you invest on this market.

Now the price of all the coins including bitcoin price has started to increase. Hope the market will be better next year. Sometimes I get very worried when I see the bad condition of the market. I have invested in several currencies including bitcoin which I am always looking for.  I like to keep an eye on the market. Hope there is a possibility of getting good amount of profit from bitcoin investment next year. Profit from investment depends a little bit on luck. If luck is good, good amount of profit can be obtained. Again some time there is a lot of loss.

Either way the price should be used as an advantage by you that's only except you are a short term investor or an investor who has reached the limit to his investment because as an big time investment that the price starts falling it should be all opportunity to go all out and add to your portfolio even more as that's the period where your Bitcoin purchase would have bigger value compared to when the price is high.
1353  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Enjoy being a newbie on: November 17, 2023, 05:10:30 PM
Newbie is not a rank one should stay in for long time, it's the shortest duration of rank on the forum if the newbie is active and knows what he's doing, we were all once a newbie and started like one sometime ago, such had been a ladder for us to where we are now, it may never had been easy in the past but when we give it every necessary efforts demanded, it will be our own pride later to have overcome the challenges of being a newbie.
I don't think there is any time duration to this rank, because some people that stumble on this forum from the onset really get confused on what to do. So it now depends how are want to learn here and even be part of the discussion to share your insight and thats what most people fail to learn on time as most people just get the impression that the more you create thread the more you are chanced to grow which to some extent is false.
1354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Disadvantage of bitcoin on: November 17, 2023, 04:54:24 PM
I’m not trying to doubt in BTC but at times we should call a spade a spade and accept the fact that aside decentralization that bitcoin offers and its volatility that we all profit from, a lot of people would still want to stick to the traditional banks because it also seems to be one of the safest place to keep our money.
.

Everything has its disadvantages but don't take the power to be in control of your own finance as a disadvantage. We don't have to be careless and expect the centralized system to save us. I know we're used to others taking responsibility for our well-being but as we want to be in control, we have to leave them and look after our assets ourselves. Always back up your private keys and seed phrase. Also you can go extra miles by not putting all your eggs in one basket. Separate your coins in different wallet so that if you'll need fund frequently, keep it separate from those you'll need to hodl for a longer term, doing this will make sure the wallet is always offline and don't get compromised.
Yeah, that's what I just think of whenever people start talking about the disadvantage of Bitcoin because the world itself is all about good and bad and I believe everything has the both feature as inbuilt so no good project is excluded, so it's now boiled down on how you can limit the disadvantage yourself and enjoy more of the advantages of the project. I believe this technique of separating your asset is not a bad one because your wallet used for saving won't be all that active to avoid anything that would affect you in your long term investment.
1355  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is King on: November 17, 2023, 04:47:01 PM
Yes, it is true that Bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrency because the rise in Bitcoin influences the movement of other cryptocurrencies.
As a Bitcoin user, I bought this cryptocurrency at the lowest price, then sold it when the price skyrocketed. If the application of this strategy is correct, then digital assets can become an additional asset investment.
Bitcoin is for someone who is patient because their some investor out there who lacks patient and prefer some other altcoins that can fetch them quick profits in short period of time. I remember telling my friend about how Bitcoin is gonna shoot up very soon that I actually held some coins from last year when the price was still as low as 18k$ and that I have accumulated now that the price is looking friendly but he just laughed and said he doesn't have such patient and prefer altcoins and that he has made about 1k$ from big and short time investment in some altcoins that do tend to pump very fast.
1356  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme. on: November 17, 2023, 04:37:07 PM
Sometimes people get interested on Bitcoin from the stories that they have told about how they supposedly made huge amount of profits from investing Bitcoin after a short period of time and this type of story just triggers and increase the anxiety of the new investor to rush into Bitcoin without properly being lectures or even making the research themselves on the truth about an investment in Bitcoin.
1357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 17, 2023, 04:31:50 PM


Even though Manchester United is often criticized for their less than consistent performances, it seems they are doing a good job by recording 5 wins with the highest points. When compared with other teams such as Liverpool and Manchester City, the difference is only small, but at least Manchester United have had better results in some of these matches. Apart from that, it is a fact that Manchester United had an easy match against a team that they should have been able to beat and that is why they got the highest points in this result compared to other teams. Another fact is that they are still in 6th position so far, it is undeniable and Erik ten Hag still has a long way to go to shorten the difference in points in the standings from his competitors.

Although Manchester United managed to get better points than other teams in that record but still, Manchester United is currently still outside of the top five in the Premier League standings. Also, thefact that Manchester United still have a 4 point gap with Aston Villa who are currently in 5th place in the Premier League standings. Therefore, I think such a record still does not make Manchester United easy to enter the top5 and that way, then atleast Manchester United still do not have good consistency at this moment. Because anyway, if Manchester United have good results and consistency, then of course Manchester United have been in the top five at this time, but the fact is not the case.
Manchester united case this season, is a really bad one and they might end up like Chelsea last season if the management doesn't do something real quick and I think ten hag himself needs to go because I believe the conspiracy that the players are against him is starting to show off and there is nothing worse than when your own players are against you, no matter how you can try the team will never be stable. If Manchester united wants to salvage anything from their season then something needs to change in this team, if not that five points gap between Aston villa won't be the only point they would be worried about.
1358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I've learned so far as a gambler on: November 17, 2023, 04:26:45 PM
If you’re lucky enough to double whatever amount you’ve got on you, that’s a big win and it’s best to go home at that point. An average person would feel lucky enough to continue playing as they believe they’re on a lucky streak having won the first round. This is usually where the decline starts.

I do think people visit the casinos to have fun and perhaps pass the time as well as trying to win some money.
If you want to make money with gambling, own a casino. Very wise words indeed. This is for people who think they can earn an income from gambling.
That there is when the greed starts to kick in, because most people are just confused when the winning starts coming. The whole mentality changes in just a matter of minutes when they first experience the win and I think every gambler is guilty in this thought cause I believe all humans have some greed no matter how little it is, it then become a matter of how well you can resist the greed and stick to your plan because if let that thought of winning more keep playing in your head then latter would be the case and bet me you will definitely lose everything you started with.
1359  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: November 17, 2023, 04:22:42 PM
When it comes to Barcelona's condition in the competition so far I can say that they are doing well. But I must admit that it was too much to lose to Shakhtar away there. Of course Ukraine teams can play different when it comes to home matches. But I remember how they lost to Porto home at the same time (1-3).

Barcelona were already in a comfortable place maybe but I would expect them to get at least one point. Anyways I don't think they would mess things up this time about qualifying from the group stage successfully. Xavi had better manage to do this otherwise the streak of not being able to get past this stage will continue.

Currently, and I dont understand the problem, Barcelona are struggling in the Champions League. Yet given its enormous strength and very strong players it shouldnt. Lets say that I am satisfied with Barcelonas performance in La Liga, but absolutely not with their performance in the Champions League.

I hope that Xavi understands and fixes the problem, and that he passes the group stage, as you say.
For me I just think his player are not all that familiar with the atmosphere of the champions league although there are some elite members in his squad but lots of them are just newbie or amateur in playing there and for me experience really matter alot. Barcelona like you said are doing exceedingly well in the Spanish la Liga but the formula doesn't seem to be adding up but Xavi is more than capable to do some to this squad because after this stage it's even going to get harder because of the remaining teams are going to be really hard to play .
1360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you bet on when your league is in break? on: November 17, 2023, 04:18:23 PM
This is something I've always been wondering about. Gamblers tend to have a league, be it basketball football or any famed sport, that they tend to love most. For instance in the USA American football and NBA betting tend to be very popular, while in south and south east Asia countries cricket is also very popular among other sports. So people tend to have a league in a certain sport that they know the most about, have a favorite team in, know the players etc.

So what's your experience with this. When your league is in break, do you tend to try to follow other leagues that you're familiar with, or will you gamble on anything really? I'm interested to hear what other people have to say in this matter.

For me personally, I try to limit my gambling to teams where I know at least some players, because otherwise it's easy to get carried away. Really in my opinion, gambling on leagues and sports that you know little to nothing about, only increases the edge against you.
Their lots of other league if you prefer betting football and if you want to diversify because for me I just play on basketball and some times I just pass my time on some virtual game and that's when am really bored although I always watch my limit when gambling and I dont do it overboard before it gets me regretting because one can be carried away with his gambling activities and before you have exhausted your bank roll in split second.
