141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: March 31, 2024, 07:56:15 PM
Barcelona's victory over Las Palmas was not convincing, it could even be said that the red card received by Las Palmas helped Barcelona to score the only goal in the match to get three points and maintain their current runner up position. Meanwhile, their chances in the Champions League are still unclear because the two teams can be said to be of equal strength so it is quite difficult to predict who will succeed in advancing to the semifinals and I think the home match will really determine the outcome later.

Do you want to hate on Barcelona because they can't seem to be able to reach Real Madrid or you just don't like them? It was to obvious that the Alvaro attack Raphina and the red card was deserving and the fact that they were 10 players against 11 doesn't mean you should expect less performance from Las Palmas, it's the moment they get that red card seriousness will come from them. Look at how well Francisco arrange 5 men in the midfield and you think Barcelona would have easy penetration.

Quote
Real Madrid certainly understands that they cannot make mistakes in the remaining matches this season because if the point difference decreases, it will put strong pressure on them in the remaining matches, making it difficult for Real Madrid to be able to concentrate on the Champions League, especially as their opponent in the quarter-finals is a tough opponent.

I have made peace with Real Madrid that the only obstacles that will hinder them from winning the Laliga trophy is if Anceloti doesn't breath again. They have master the rest of the game and it's working for them, it's either they do clean sheet with 1 goal or more and when they score goal and opponent equalized, the make sure that they double that goal, the concede less and score more, that's exactly what they have been all these while and it's working.

143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can we still truly achieve anonymous gambling in crypto? on: March 30, 2024, 02:25:44 PM
Crypto has been known for anonymity. During the early stage, we like to promote it using the words "decentralized" and "anonymous ", and it's the main reason why a lot of gamblers have chosen to gamble using crypto to gain full privacy, but it seems like things have really change a lot now as gamblers are looking for a casino that are licensed while some casinos who promotes anonymous gambling eventually act like a fiat casino that requires KYC.

What do you think about this one, where is are we heading? And can we still consider crypto casino different from fiat casino?

I still remembered the time I joined this forum, there was this campaign of "Not your keys, not your coins" that was been voluntarily promoted on this forum, it became my personal text till date and that was because of decentralization moves but it seems all have been forgotten, as in people don't even care about it any more, the centralized exchanges keep winning everytime.

Decentralized casino wouldn't strive properly because of some reasons and here are the ones I have with me:

-Government regulation: AML is one of the factor government allow people to use crypto, any company that is involved in crypto and doesn't Take KYC serious will be an enemy of the government, this is why casino without KYC will not work under the watch of government.

-Normalize traditional casino are everywhere, many gamblers are used to the traditional casino, crypto is just their way of funding but don't really care about any other benefits like privacy or any decentralization, they just want to win and double their crypto, they don't care and since casino are after money, they will always give priority to where there is money.

East to use: Most centralized casino has an easy features which ofcourse comes with a risk but they don't care about all of that, what matters to them is ease of use and make more wins.

You can see that, it will be difficult to see decentralized casinos around here.

Many people are going through gambling addiction but they manage to keep it a secret from their families and loved ones. The only people that know about their gambling activities are their close friends. In the event that you are one of those close friend to a gambling addict, do you think it is right to tell their loved ones with the intention that they will be able to talk to him and help him overcome his addiction? Can the advice of loved ones even help? What is the most effective way of going about gambling addiction.

One thing about gambling is this, someone who is addicted might not really know that he's even addicted, don't you think that we all love ourselves and we don't want to see ourselves in bad condition. I will be hard on myself if someone close to me tell me one day that I'm addicted to gambling without finding out the red flags before anyone. If a gambler is addicted and didn't want his family member to know is not because he is hiding the addiction, he is hidding the fact that he lose all the time and it's not something palatable to speak with your families on how you loss money consistently in gambling.

As a friend, my duty is too talk to him one on one, as in man to man and not go around making him look like a culprits that is guilty of a crime. I will try all my best to make him stop if I found one addiction on him but if he doesn't listen to me as a friend, with time there is going to be some physical actions that the family will see and they will talk to him about it if they care about him.

Hi, guys!

I'm absolutely new to this forum and don’t know a lot about how things work here, but I'm really curious to find out. Recently, I noticed a lot of signatures under the messages of certain users and I want to find out: is it possible for me to use them freely (in case if I will make them by myself)? Do I need to pay extra charges to BitcoinTalk for this signature? Will I face any restrictions regarding using this signature?

Signature is a personal place, you can choose to advertise what you like as long as it doesn't violate the rules of the forum and it doesn't spread any misinformation about Bitcoin and lastly the signature doesn't contain any mlxer on your signature code but looking at your account, you are still a newbie and the forum doesn't allow a newbie to wear a signature code in the Forum, you have to be atleast a junior member before you can wear one.

Alternatively, why don't you just hired managers of the forum to help you better, they know this job because that's what they do and use their time most often in the Forum, with little change few people with high ranks can be selected to help you promote your website or whatever you want to promote in to the forum.
147  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Tax refund scheme scams on the rise using "Gas fee refunds" on: March 29, 2024, 09:33:42 PM
That's the link of the tweet and instead of quoting and linking it to the image, I've used the "code" code. And as you can see, that tweet has already garnered 554.1k views which gives me the idea that there probably have fallen for it already.  Undecided

I got to a point and was tired and then I decide not report again because it seems the algorithm kind of find me easy as a target. The number of accounts with many fake ads I have seen from last week to this week is alarming, the number of Ethereum gas funds ads are so much that I think the scams is really fetching them victims and they are making money. I have seen more different domain entirely different from the ones I have reported and Elon is busy accepting their revenue ads without any investigation.

A real company should put users protection as priority, seeing increased in this ads request by some people, they ought to have check why the demand is really coming but they don't do all this check up and they claim they have the best engineers, very bad job from X company to combat scammers.
148  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are your thoughts on the market right now? on: March 29, 2024, 09:06:02 PM
I want to stock up on alts for the spot now. What do you think, should I buy now or should I wait?

Any altcoin with a team behind working tirelessly with some good updates over the year is a good buy but please avoid meme coins even though are they promising to a lot of people, they don't represent what altcoins are even though they can't really have much achievement like the way Bitcoin has benefits from this market. You can have just diversify your portfolio with some later 1 altcoins and some new listed coins that hasn't done well this season.

You can also include coins that hasn't really go far this bullrun, there are room for more growth and expect some good updates around these altcoins, it is these updates that traders used in shillings coins. So if you get one and see update, you will know when it's the time to exit the market after having all the profits that you really needed.
149  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Wait for the right set-up on: March 29, 2024, 08:18:57 PM
People actually don't know how important it is to wait for the right set-up, some traders think that the more you trade the more money you make which is very much unlikely, trading doesn't work like that, you might make a lot of money from 5 to 7 trades, and use just only one trade to lose everything including your initial magin.

As much as I think your idea about having many open trades looks bad, I don't really think it's really that bad to have many open trades as long as you can manage. Maybe as a new trader, I will say you don't need it because might not have understand how the market works but a professional trader can has 6 open trades, 3 can give him each 20% each and the remaining 3 can give him 5% each. When you do the maths, you will have 60% profits and 15% losses. If you subtract profits from loss, you will have a realized profits of 45% for that day, I hope you see why some traders has many open trades.

Quote
But waiting for the right set-up gives you an edge in the market, when you trade only when you sees an opportunity, you will mostly comes out profitable, as long as you knows the craft a little, but probing the market every now and then will only make you lose money, because trading is more of patience and knowledge.

Your idea is cool but works very well during the bear market. In a bull run where you can literally see all coins becomes greenish in profits, it will be difficult to applied them here because what you are saying actually works better in bull run but you need to also applied risk management into your train, it's not every trade you see too good you should put money into, you might experience bad result.
150  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My opion and btc outlook for the next 2 years. on: March 29, 2024, 07:59:01 PM
So 60k-68k is good buying price then from here we go 110k then let's what happens.
But after 110k the next btc lowest support price will be around 30k-40k.
So the main numbers for next 2 years 60k base level then 110-120k and then btc will fall to support 30k-40k(we might see strong support zone on 25k-37k )
Today Im loading up my bags Solana doge xrp xlm ada and eth Tron mostly for up coming alt season.

All these are just predictions and speculations, don't be surprised if all you said don't even happen. I want you to know something about Bitcoin, halving is not a guarantee that Bitcoin price will always appreciate but the fact that the prevous result has shown that the market is always bullish, then expect this one to be bullish as well, you don't need to call price where it will go, the force of market will determine the new all time, it could be 100k, 200k but just know that Bitcoin will always find it's way out of the box and make that parabola run with correction together.

Don't forget that institutional investors bought most of their Bitcoin when it was around $35k, if Bitcoin price want to make global correction to bear market, the worst it can get is $35k that's if there is any unforseen disasters that will affect Bitcoin and don't forget that as many institutional investors has invest their money and time, they will do anything to make Bitcoin demanding to increase he price so they can enjoy their profits too.
151  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you believe in savings or investment on: March 28, 2024, 09:49:33 PM
saving and investment both have importance in a people life, because if you invested all of your money then if suddenly you need to money when you will suffer,
so saving is also very important, and it will be very helpful when you will face trouble. i am investing 60% and rest of the money for saving, although saving is loses because of inflation.

Why do you have to invest when you don't have money to take care of yourself. To invest is to stay healthy and to stay healthy you must have enough to look after yourself. You can't invest when you don't have basic things, you might not have all what it takes to live life but you must have atleast the basic things to survive otherwise you will sell your investment without looking back.

If you are making an investment, you should have a little that you can use to survive or better still get a job to take care of bills because investment don't grow over night, it takes time depending on the type of investment you have made. You can also save for rainy days if must but don't touch your investment.
152  Economy / Economics / Re: The benefits of risk taking on: March 28, 2024, 09:32:57 PM
Risk is when a person is exposing him/her self to dangers, possibility of incurring loss or misfortune
So many people run away from business opportunities just because they fear they will run into loose and didn't want to take such risk

If we all think in the same direction, the world wouldn't move the way it's and not many would make anything. Have you thought about if we the world is full of people that doesn't take risk, do you think internet would even exist today? What if we all agree to be smart and take risk, the would would be full of smart people trying so hard to make opportunities. This is why we have losers and we have winners, people that took risk win the most but that doesn't mean they don't lose too.

Quote
I have come to the realization that the word risk is part of life and that it is better you take part in it than not
From history it has been said that the great entrepreneur and business men/woman where all risk takers when you take risk you throw your self to the real of possibilities

Sadly, not everyone will take risk, not everyone is born to take risk. We have some people that want to take the risk but doesn't have what it takes to start which is the money. This is to tell you that the world is not fair to everyone, those who want to take risk will continue to do and those who don't want to will continue to be in their state, that's how the world revolves.
153  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do Ordinals and Runes help Bitcoin to be a better system of electronic cash? on: March 28, 2024, 09:13:12 PM
We all know that these additions to Bitcoin Core have slowed down transactions and made transactions more expensive.

What is the justification for them?

Why are they being added when they make the network less efficient?


Ordinals don't slow transaction in real sense, what the do is that they make mempool becomes spammy with their transaction and that makes ordinary transactions to fight for space in the next block. Because these ordinal guys has the bitcoin to pay for transaction, so these cause a distortion in the mempool and makes fee to increase drastically because everyone is fighting for the first place in the next block.

Different talks has been discussed about ordinals and all is left for the developers to patch that bug in the protocol. Some people believes the ordinal demands is just a phase and people will forget it and some think they are good to be around, at least to gives more incentives for miners. What I think is that they are not supposed to be welcome on the protocol but if miners are not complaining of mining and doing their computational work together, then I have nothing to say again.
154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin to the common man. on: March 28, 2024, 07:49:48 PM
But with all the challenges faced by the average man, many have given up hope in this light(Bitcoin) .
Patience is one key factor to acquiring success through Bitcoin .

If only the common man would have to be patient, then a guarantee of life long success can be attainable.

Bitcoin right now is trading above $70k and I'm wondering, if some of has the advantage to but bitcoin when it was around $100 per a bitcoin, will they be able to hold to this time. The truth is that we have some people that are still holding to that treasures of theirs but they are just few, lots of people that had that opportunity has sold back in th peak of 2017 bull run and 2021 bull run and that's to tell you that holding Bitcoin is not for the weak but for the strong hands.

There is no way you can enjoy holding Bitcoin if you are financially down, I mean you are holding Bitcoin from $1k and now it's trading around $70k and you can't even afford to pay for your rent due to financial instability, there is no way you wouldn't get tempted to sell your Bitcoin. This is what an average man don't have, they mostly don't have another source of make money, that's why majority of them can't hold for long time.
155  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do you think merit is by chance or lengthy article? on: March 28, 2024, 07:33:36 PM
The only time writing a lengthy paragraphs is if you are writing a guide or tutorial that is really long. If you wrote episode with plenty of words just to convince anyone that you are good at writing script, people might not even reply your thread not talk more meriting it. I do see such threads here by beginners trying to show that the are teaching other members some things when they are supposed to use that free time to learn new things to improve in their knowledge.

Do you even know that writing a single line of reply can earn you plenty of merits from different people than writing many lengthy things? The key thing there is to give the necessary information. If someone ask for wallet recommendation, how straight to the point, don't beat around the bush, if someone ask what is the best way to avoid scams, give them precise information and not what they don't need and you will be fine with merits.
156  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Minimum deposit on: March 27, 2024, 09:03:58 PM
so for beginners here, pay attention to the minimum deposit on your exchange because it may change according to the exchange's policies.

This is definitely the hand work of Okx exchange, they are the ones with minimum deposit as high as that, exchange like Binance, Kucoin has lower minimum deposit and as much as I see this, the deposit are not lower than a dust transaction, so I think when centralized exchanges do this, they claim to increased liquidity, they want retailers with high volume but I see it as a way of stealing coins from customers. 0.0004 btc is worth $27, that's a reasonable amount of money to trade on any exchange.

Avoid Cex if you can and don't deposit anything less than what is required of you else the Bitcoin becomes there, if you are not kyc verified, don't deposit any crypto in their platform, you may not be allowed to withdraw the money until you verified that account, thousands of unaware people face this problems every time because of less awareness about this.
157  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: advice for a beginner on: March 27, 2024, 08:24:30 PM
Hello, I'm a new trader. I started a month ago. I deposited $100, and now I've lost $40. Any advice for me? I watched some YouTube videos and found a technical analysis video which helped a lot. I started not losing as much. Sometimes I even earn. But even though, I feel so lost. Like every day, I see some random coins get boosted. Some people earn from how they know that coin will go up. I'm sorry for my bad English; it's not my first language.

How do you just learn about trading and start trading with you own money, it means you are confident that you have understood all you have learn during your training. What is expected of you is that you should put the trading into practice and see if you are ready but you aren't meant to use your money. What you should use is to make use of a demo account where you can trade using virtual money or a dummy account, these accounts gives you access to trade in real time without using real money.

You can also check tradingview, register an account where you can get access to paper trading and select any coin of your choice in real time. The advantage of paper trading is that you can use of the chart properly to make use of indicators and draw trendlines properly which is another bonus for you to understand how to make technical analysis. With these, you should be able to minimize your losses when trading with real money.
158  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best altcoin now? on: March 27, 2024, 08:10:24 PM

Which altcoin shoud I be carefully looking at now as BTC goes a little down, do yoiu think..=?? Anything interesting in the trading platforms moving up against the other trend..??

Got an eye wide open on something very interesting right now, bnut don't know what you guys would  say about this at the moment...  Shocked)
 

My first question is that are you holding for a long term or you are holding for the short term? There is a lot of speculations surrounding the trend of the market regarding the all time high that was broken before the halving day and that's has beg the question whether if this is the place where we are going to have the final Bitcoin bullrun and the the market will correct or there is more to go for Bitcoin and you know, if Bitcoin remain at the top, that's when altcoins can run, any crash of Bitcoin will kills many altcoins potential bull run.

If looking for some gems, you should just take your eyes to Coingecko, from trending you will know which coin is good for buy for short term. As for the long terms, only Bitcoin I can comfortably tell you to buy, some altcoins has been pumped and entering them right now can make you buy at the top. Maybe you should wait after the market make some corrections before another leg, that's when you can buy some top altcoins.
159  Economy / Economics / Re: Farming and it importance to the economy on: March 27, 2024, 07:59:17 PM
Unfortunately farming is now seen as a thing of the poor that no one wants to go into, even the government is not doing enough to support farming activities

Maybe some Genz who don't understand the important aspect of life, the ones that are used to process foods and has never for once learn to understand the importance of agricultural farming. What many of us don't understand is that farming is not all about going to a field, clear land, make ridges and sow seed and take care of the farm until it's ready for harvest. Farming involves rearing of animals, without these many home would lack protein and will be deficiency, many would not have milk to feed their babies. What about the rich men that goes commercially into farming.

Quote
Food is a very important aspect of society that any society that wants to make progress is a society that has eaten very well , infact the economic super powers are society's that have attained food security
Farming activities helps a nation economy grow as scarcity of food will lead to inflation of prices of food in the market
Government should do everything to make sure that people go back to the farm and create the right environment for farming activities

Everyone can't go back to the farm, there is a lot of professions that doesn't have time to farm, you don't expect a medical doctor to farm, they don't have the time. You don't expect a nuclear researcher to farm, they have a lot to think but what the government should is to encourage people to invest in agriculture. A medical doctor can invest all his money into farming by employing people to do the work and indirectly, he will earn and producing goods will also help feed the nation and also encourage exportation. People neee to go commercial farming.

* If you intend to start your business or you already do and are looking for the best candidate to fill the top management position, would you trust a man or a woman to handle the affairs of the business?

* What reasons would you suggest are right, for picking and trusting a particular gender to handle a top management position of your business?

Let's discuss!

The subject is been specific to the role of management, so I don't gender should be a problem. Had it been it's a job where specialization is needed but this management and what matters in role of management is qualifications. You can give the role of a management to a man that doesn't have experience and would fail you woefully and you can also employ a woman who doesn't have any form of experience do a very job. Likewise, you can employ someone a male of female that are both qualified for the job and will deliver the job accurately.

You want to employ someone, you want to look at the post experience and where they have, recommendations letter is not needed as that can be manipulated, you need to check down the role they have played and their past place of work if the company is progressing or not, you need to check their resume, you need to also put them on some test and make sure upon acceptance of the job, there is expectancy from them perhaps some revenue that must be attained before they can finally be accepted fully, this will even give them pressure and enable you know if then can work in a tight position. I think this is enough to know if you have hired the right candidate.
