Better late than never!

A lot of people are still pushing the "bad guys use bitcoin hurr durr" narrative not even taking into account that literally any tool out there can be used for both good and bad; and even forgetting that the very currency they're using everyday is being used for malicious purposes as well.
You just said it all, a country like mine, an internet fraudster and a bitcoin trader are seen as the same. Differentiating both people to them is one of the biggest task I have come across. Especially to the older ones.
I really believe that people who think bitcoin/crypto is still used mainly by bad people just don't have any idea how much we improved. If you haven't been here long enough, I can tell you that it has been used by those same bad people long time ago, it was all darknet and drugs and what not back in the day. But we turned into Micheal Saylor, Elon Musk and even Kevin o'leary levels of legit business people who are going into crypto these days.

So, it moved out of that phase long time ago and got into the fact that business and company leaders are all interested in crypto right now as well. Some may not be aware of it, but that is their problem and not ours.

Cannot believe that people are still trusting this project, nobody should trust this project at all, I do not see how it could ever be something good at all. I personally believe that the one thing I believe is that we shouldn't really be believing that we could get something decent out of it.

Luna is gone, it is a horrible thing now, it was always a horrible thing but we didn't know, never had any by pure luck, could have bought some back in the day, and now at least we know it is a horrible thing and we shouldn't be investing into it at all. If you really want to, just go ahead and do it but I do not think that it would be a smart idea at all.
Luna is only gone to those who invested in it before the crash. Those who invested around 0.00009 like myself have now seen over 100% profit.

I do not believe it will get to $1 like many say it will, but I am hoping it will reach $0.005 one day which will be more then enough for me and will be a great return.
Gone or good? But, any of the two is still correct. Gone because they won't invest on it anymore as they already earn a nice profit and they are aware that it's risky to re invest. Good because of that reason that I said earlier while those who got scammed and are late on the party will say that luna is a bad coin.

You invested before the crash but didn't you sell your coins because you got greedy? That's very unfortunate but I hope you can still get something out of it. That is right, don't wait for the price to reach one dollar. You already learned your lesson so don't repeat the same mistakes again. For those who are planning to hop in, better if you don't continue it. It's not advisable anymore.

Did you forget the first rules of trading " Invest that much as much as you can effort to loose" . And there you are saying to take loan for trading ? If it happened that only profit would be achieved from here, then one thing was that there can be both profit and loss here.  I think your advice is very risky which can lead a person down the street.
Right but I think we can have some exceptions like if we are sure about our ability. The op is not new on here but he had a four year experience already. I think that's pretty solid. He know what he was planning so why not allow him? But, I am only wondering on why he will still take a loan.

I mean he is trading for 4 years so where did the profits that he made go? Don't tell me he didn't save anything but he just spend and spend more on the things which aren't really that important. If only he did separate some cash after each trade that he win then I think that is going to be huge on the next 4 years and he won't came up with this decision which is to take a loan.

Ronaldo will soon depart from Manchester United according to his wish. Erik's vision for the new generation of players of Manchester United won't include Ronaldo, I think. Cristiano Ronaldo had wished to play for Chelsea but got turned down because he's old and not fit for Chelsea. But the recent game where Chelsea lost 1:2 to Southampton might change that. Chelsea is in no position to be demanding as their striker position is shoddy as hell. As long as Ronaldo doesn't go for Liverpool then I'm okay with that. A nice part away between Ronaldo and Manchester United, everyone's happy.
Even though he is quite old, we should not underestimate Ronaldo's performance and play, so far Ronaldo is a player who continues to live a healthy lifestyle and of course he has quite good fitness, Ronaldo is like Ibrahimovich, even though he is old but still able to show the good performance in the game, after losing Lukaku chelsea should be able to make ronaldo a better option  for striker and maybe will be able to help them have a good  this season.
I agree that we should not underestimate him even at this age, but even if we consider him a great player today, does that mean that we could end up justifying a 30+ million euro transfer fee and 20 million or more on salary for him? I get that he is still good but is he "that" good? I feel like if United gave him away free, and Ronaldo wanted 10 million then he would have already found a club for himself and it would have been easy.

However, what we are looking at right now is the fact that dude is not worth the money he is asking for and that is their problem. As long as he keeps asking for that kind of money, he won't find a place. I guarantee you that if he goes to any team, it won't be for how much he asked at the start of these negotiations, it will be much lower.
1485  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bull Run and Bear Market on: August 31, 2022, 09:02:43 PM
This is a simple question, When this bearish market end and Bull run start.
Thanks
I think no one can say when bear market ends, and no one can give you an exact date of the bullrun because when bear market ends thats the start of bull run. There is always a bull and bear season because crypto is always depend on supply and demand but it is really hard to predict the exact date that is why many investor defind crypto as a very challenging investment.
Maybe "when" could be unknown but like you said bull run always comes. Which means that we are going to end up with a profit eventually one way or another. We are going to end up seeing crypto doing much better. This means, maybe we are in a bear market now, and maybe in a week we will go into bull, or in a month, or in 3 months, nobody knows.

But, what we all know is that we are going to go into that bull run and that matters the most, I do not think that anyone would argue against that. If you "know" that you are going to go into bull run then you are going to be acting a lot more confidently and you will not mind the falls that happens.

Tuchel is not only obliged to strengthen the defense but also have to improve the attack by including some fast players. I think Tuchel could use Pulisic in a situation like this, he looks like a perfect fit to replace one of the Chelsea strikers at the moment. At the moment Chelsea have 30 minutes to score but their efforts so far have failed as Southampton look set to hold on to this lead.
I can say Tuchel has more problems in the attack than he has in the defence. Koulibaly and Silva are doing well as the duo can be said to be bullies to the strikers. Even the Chelsea midfield needs attention, in the absence of Kante, Galagher got red carded. He got red card as his team mate Koulibaly came back from red card suspension. It seems that the overall Chelsea team is not balanced yet.
Honestly Chelsea could definitely do something that could help them in the long run, but they do not need transfers to do that. They just need this chaos to calm down. It is obvious that the owner change did created a lot of chaos, but then the team taken away with that and many players missing chances and the ones that plays are not playing like they used to etc etc.

With enough time, they will get used to the situation and they will start playing like they used to and that will help them a lot. I promise you, I guarantee you even, that they will be the chelsea we know, they just need to make sure that they are given enough time, with time that chemistry will come back.

Trabzonspor are planning a move to sign Mauro Icardi from PSG. As they are likely to sell Cornelius to FC Copenhagen they are in search of a new striker. They wanted to direct their route to Icardi but it looks like Icardi isn't leaning towards joining them even though they are in the Europa League while Galatasaray aren't in any European tournament this season. It must be because of Galatasaray's being a bigger team when we take their history into account. If he doesn't get any offer from other European teams in bigger leagues then he is still likely to sign for Galatasaray.

Galatasaray are in desperate need of a striker so Icardi might be the solution they have been searching for. They just need to get rid of Seferovic as soon as possible also.  Grin

The source: https://www.transfermarkt.com.tr/trabzonspordan-mauro-icardi-hamlesi-/view/news/410410
Icardi doesn't seem like an impossible transfer right now. He used to be one of those players that would be impossible to get into Turkish League, but he is moving out of that European levels with age, so I am assuming the best thing to do about him would be getting him at least get paid close levels once again.

Trabzon could offer what smaller European teams could offer, or they could at the very least offer what any other nation in the world could offer with a chance to play in UCL for a while longer, plus guarantee a chance to play each game he can. He is also a very hard working player, so I doubt that he would just get there to rest or retire like Falcao did.

I also can't agree with you but yes there is risk to invest in alt-coin . But you also have to remember that not all coins can be compared to the gains Bitcoin, BNB or Ethereum. BNB has been launched since 2017, then reached this stage through their performance.  I think the gambling also  is promising site for future and also in the future it will be seen that their tokens were also be listed in a good exchangers. Moreover, many people are still trading it on others exchanges, the trade volume is not too high, but it should not underestimated at once.
Well one of the advantages of native tokens is that they can be easily used to play in the casino, another is that those who want to invest and decide to leave it in Hodl mode is also something else, staking is a practice that many like And well, that is up to each person, because each person decides what to do with their money, however, the fact that they can play with the native token to multiply it within the same casino seems to me to be something exceptional, something that I do not like and I do not I know why the casino has it is that in the game of slots they do not allow betting with BFG, but with fiat, that is something that at least locks me up from Betfury and I do not like it.
That's the thing, there is a "utility" of this token that they are missing and we should always be focusing on the utility of it. If there is a way to make money from it even during the bearish period then I would say that it's a good thing, but if we are talking about something that is dangerously risky for all the things we have done so far, then I am not sure if it is going to be easy at all.

I have to say that the best thing to invest right now is something with a utility, that way you know that even if you can't make a profit right now, you could grow your future profit by using the utility, and that will give you a greater return in the future.
1489  Economy / Economics / Re: Education on: August 29, 2022, 02:10:10 PM
If you become a parent, are you certain that your children will become successful if you don't give them proper education?

Please stop discouraging people to not go to school because it is not needed to become successful in life. The education system in your country could not be the same to others, maybe in your country schools are not giving children the proper education that they should have that is why you think like that.

For me, having a diploma and getting a proper education gives is still better because it will give us wider range of opportunities. If you combine the traits of being educated and being resourceful in life then you are still above in many aspects than those who only become successful because of sheer resourcefulness.
The thing about being a parent (I am not one but I really pray to god every day that I will become one soon hopefully) that you could provide whatever you can and still fail. That's the scary thing about having kids, you could raise amazing people and your kids could be people who helped the world be a better place, you could most likely raise people who are just ordinary, grow up, study, have a job, work there for 30+ years, retire and die, just like billions of people do every day.

Or you could raise very bad people and that scares me, even the most horrible people could have ordinary parents like us, it is really not the fault of the parents all the time. So, it's a bit scary and education could be given amazingly or not at all and kid could turn out to be anything.

Karim Benzema is the best candidate to win the Ballon d'Or this year. I don't think Son Heung-min of Tottenham is going to have a chance against him in the fight.
As far as I can tell, that seems to be the decision of every football fan in the world.

There is no doubt that Karim Benzema has achieved more with his club than Son Heung-min has with his club to date. There has just been a top-four finish for Tottenham Hotspur. As a matter of fact, Real Madrid was able to win both the La Liga title as well as the Champions League title in the same season. So, last season, Karim Benzema was more successful with Real Madrid than he had ever been.
Honestly Lewandowski should have won it last year as well and he didn't. So, I am not really entirely sure about who will win it this year but we all know Benzema is definitely the one that deserves it. I mean this dude took Real Madrid to not just La Liga but at the same time they also won UCL and he was the one scoring so many important games at the same time as well.

So, I have to say that this is one of the most important things that you could do, you are a striker and your team won so many times just because of your own success and goals. This is awesome and I believe that there isn't a single football player in the world who helped his team as much as Benzema did.

Terrible lag for the last 2-3 days and I have stopped playing Stake originals until they fix server issues. Despite the Telegram notification of the official channel, it is still lagging like one Plinko ball per second, making it impossible to spam plinko balls. Hopefully, the lag issues will be fixed until Eddie's stream or weekly bonus since traffic will increase during bonus/stream hours..
Did notice quite a bit of lag while trying to play some blackjack on originals the past few days.
It could be attributed to the number of people online surpassing 20k at one time.
Have placed 4000 in the 5th birthday race so should get a little piece of the prize pool for this one.
But still over a week left til it closes for the places of under 5000 to be awarded something.

Took me $120,700 to get within the limit of places so to get something out of this month long race.
It is insane to think that we peaked over 20k+ already with Stake and it is not a number that is unheard of neither, it is not like uncommon, it is just something that is not all the time but it is not uncommon neither.

Stake of course needs to grow up a lot, they need like constantly get bigger and bigger services and not only that but they need some amazing staff numbers as well, they must be making enough money to justify that to be fair, having like 100 more people could cost very little based on where they are located, you don't need to hire them from USA or UK or something, find a cheaper place and get 100 people and put 1 person from directly stake on top of them wherever it is and you can deal with even 100k people.
1492  Other / Archival / Re: Entrepreneurship or Office job? on: August 27, 2022, 01:23:58 PM
If you have that entrepreneurial spirit and are built for it, then by all means this would be best for you.   However, office jobs will for most as we are basically trained or at least the thought is ingrained in us to work for someone else, i.e. be employees, from beginning to end of primary schooling.  Again, some of us breakthrough but most end up office workers, which in and of itself is not necessarily a bad thing.  
It is not a matter of spirit, if you aspire to be an entrepreneur but lack the resources to launch, there is a problem. You need liquid funds as a fresh start-up to get things in order, otherwise, you won't be around for very long.
Entrepreneurs also struggle with how to get cash, especially in underdeveloped nations where venture capitalists sometimes prefer to invest in projects where they can gain greater ownership rather than supporting ambitious individuals. I still prefer to create my own business when I have enough money to do it in the future than work for people.
The thing is, there is money in the world, you may not have it, but the money is out there and we all know it. So, if you really want to be an entrepreneur and you actually do believe that you could build it, then you should try to get some money. How? I mean it is not easy as we all know because if it was so easy then everyone would be rich.

So, how you do is you end up saving money from the office job, and then you learn the skills needed to build whatever you want to start and do it for others, if it is a website you want to do, then be a web developer and earn from that too. In the end it will be hard but you could end up doing it one day, and when you have enough money, you would profit from it.

Hard to believe we have a water crisis when 75% of the world is made of water. But there are droughts everywhere. How they are going to make things better when fresh water is very limited?
I didn't feel it. Maybe it wasn't critical as food shortage because as you said the world is made up of mostly water and the ones that has a water problem are away from the bodies of water but no worries because they receiving a help from different countries. Often times we will see celebrities going on those dry places and they are building up a water system.
Unfortunately, that’s not the case, as we all know Africa is a huge continent all surrounded with water, and even places near the water is having trouble for 2 main reasons. One of them is the fact that water is not clean, meaning it could make you sick if you drink it and that means there would be a lot of people dying because they drank water that was bad for your health.

Second reason is that even though there are water sources near them, they can't really walk that much and come back every day, meaning there needs to be infrastructure, I mean not everywhere in EU has water too, but they have pipes bringing water to them, so Africa needs that too. This is just a common thing people don't know about.

I also thought that it was just a rumor. If Chelsea actually signed Maguire it would be a joke. They have lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, but signing Maguire to replace them was a desperate move because we know how Maguire is performing at Man United. He was signed with a fairly high value, but instead made a good contribution, he often makes blunders that cause his team to lose.

Ronaldo has a strong desire to leave Man United immediately, but unfortunately, no one wants to sign him, and the news about Marseille being interested in Ronaldo is still just a rumor.
No way, there is no way a team like Chelsea would end up getting Maguire, that would be the stupidest move I have ever heard. I mean I can see Maguire going to a lower level team, like if Everton got him then it would make sense because even though everyone mocks him, he is good enough to be there, dude was captain of United.

But at the end of the day, if United couldn't really find a place for him to play because he is bad, Chelsea should be much better team to even care about him to begin with. It would make no sense to give him such a chance at Chelsea as well at least one more year, makes no sense at all for me and I do not really get it.

bitcoin has nothing to prove nor to answer in this case , because the history will keep answering what you wanna hear here.

how many times does this same speculation says even since 2017? but now we are in 2022 yet bitcoin only fell to the lowest of 4k and never to felt like seeing that 1k for the next 10 years or more.

bitcoin has proven itself many times in the past and now it doesn't need to prove anything anymore, time will tell
i am expecting a new dumping and bitcoin can drop 15k by then and i will celebrate and buy as much as can, but it seems impossible let alone a totally vague $1000 goal. the experts the op mentioned definitely don't know anything about bitcoin and the market
Bitcoin proving itself is weak for many people. If you do not have "diamond hands" like some people call it and hold it for a long time, then there are people out there who really thinks that they could end up losing everything when bitcoin is going down and they end up selling it all.

I am not saying that it will happen that way but I have to say it does kind of look like they may end up doing something that is not really that great in the end if they keep selling it. Just hold it even during the worst times and even buy more, that way you will be making a big profit when the big bull run happens. This works for things like bitcoin and ethereum though, not idiotic small "gems" that goes to zero quickly.
1496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 25, 2022, 03:56:50 PM
Perhaps the selectors' intention to keep Kohli because he is an experienced batsman, especially having record in the big tournaments. In fact, those who are considered to be a strong opponent against India, Kohli have good performance records against all those rivals. He holds numerous records in all three forms of cricket. Especially in the T20 format, he has occupied the first place of “ Most player of the series award” , the 2nd position in the world “Most fifteen in careers”, “Highest career batting average” and has various records with his name.
Records and averages never help any player for keep place in teams as right now competition is tough in Indian squad with too many batsmen performing amazingly in last few tours and things are never been easy for anyone to lost concentration but selectors still giving another chance to Kohli which is not bad at all but for me, it's going to be tough for Kohli because now if he fails to perform good then surely he is going to be in red zone and most chances he could be out of T-20 World Cup which could be more problem for him and his team.

Here in Asia cup I am not feeling they can face any problem in their early three matches as they are going to play against Pakistan, Singapore and then in semifinal against any team from other group which is also easy for them surely they are going through until final without any trouble.
1497  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading then switching currencies on: August 25, 2022, 10:43:06 AM
Well this is not entirely true, if a trader or investor in the market decides to leave everything in Bitcoin, he is not making a bad decision, on the contrary, he is making a very intelligent decision and that can really mark everything to go well, if there is a number of accumulated sats and it is expected that the price for now is $20k-$22k and nothing else is taken into account but to change when the price reaches $100k we would be talking about a great profit that for no reason in any bank is capable of supporting or offering, under this assumption that it can occur at any time, it is likely that it will come before any need and leave everything there until it occurs.
This is literally me just a few months ago. I did just that, put all my money in bitcoin and that wasn't really a bad idea, I did alright. Maybe there were times bitcoin didn't go up as much as ETH did for example, or maybe we shouldn't really be worried about anything like that, it's literally not the important part of the deal and bitcoin could be just the only one or not, and we would be fine one way or another.

It's not the bitcoin only part that is awesome, it is trusting the good things. Like for example if you trust bitcoin and ethereum, that's fine too. I personally believe that as long as your money is on things that are trustworthy, it's fine.

Nope , had voted together with the majority because we have just over the last ATH and Bull market in 2021 in which if we are going to understand the sentiment of market for another years? it should be at least 2025 that will be the bull may return that only means one thing , Bearish market will keep coming and making a low price time after another.
That just doesn't sound right AT ALL, I mean how could you believe that we will be in a bear market for 3 more years? When was the last time we ever had 3 years of bear market ever? I mean even the worst 2018 market saw the 2019 market doubling (quadruple in the middle) and then break ATH in 2020... how could you believe that in under 2 years was the longest time we had ATH over ATH, and you think now that 3 years will be pure bear market?

That doesn't sound right and I wager any amount you want that we will break ATH again before 2025 happens, that is just way too impossible for me to believe, we will not be having bear market for longest period ever for no reason at all.

There seem to be too much development taking place on bitcoin. Changes always being proposed. How are we ever going to be able to trust that bitcoin will never change if people are always trying to propose changes to it and get it implemented
what kinds of challenges are you referring to here, because i see nothing changing about bitcoin we all have known, it's never centralized, and if what you're talking about is on the Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs) then you might be getting it all wrong, because if you build a house, you will always want to decorate and beautify it from time to time, such as painting, cleaning and protecting it against Intruders with maximum security. etc. same is applicable here, if am right about what you meant.
The idea of bitcoin's blockchain being decentralized is not even about money, it's about exactly what you say; having a consensus by all the users. What people do not understand is that US government could print 1 trillion dollars and buy bitcoin with it, making it super high, and then sell it ALL at the same time on 100 different exchanges and crash it to near zero. They can "manipulate" the price, that doesn't make it centralized, that's just market speculation and that's fine.

Decentralization is literally the consensus where we all decide what to do and we never have to worry about what's going to happen to the integrity of the blockchain itself and trust it forever.
1500  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CRYPTO IS NOT A GET RICH QUICK SCHEME on: August 24, 2022, 06:39:02 AM
That's the thinking of ordinary people who aim to want instant wealth, even though users who actually have experience will not necessarily become rich suddenly, because they hide the joys and sorrows of playing crypto, at least following a process that can make you rich, because you consistently know crypto  will see the experience is not mere lust..
Unfortunately that is a majority of altcoin investors. They think that they could get rich by investing into small cap stuff which they named "gem" themselves and then it will go 10x and make them rich. That's not how it works and that is not what they are going to make their money with.

It's fine though, I do not think that it would be easy for anyone to make money like that, we shouldn't be really focusing on what they could do, just let it be something small and we would be doing fine without looking at them. I have been around them all this time and yet invested into large coins like bitcoin at the top and made money from it and that is fine for me.
